Restaurants removed from Swiggy Dineout including Indigo Hospitality which operates Indigo Deli, Impresario Entertainment, and Hospitality which operates brands such as Social and then Smoke House Deli, Mamagoto, then Wow Momos, and Chaayos, among others.
Following food delivery, the logout battle between restaurants and food tech platforms Swiggy and Zomato extended to food. About 900 restaurant businesses have sent delistings or delisting notices to his Swiggy Dineout, while refraining from signing up for Zomato Pay, which has yet to roll out nationally, according to restaurant industry sources.
Restaurants excluded from Swiggy Dineout include Indigo Hospitality, which operates Indigo Deli, Social and Smoke House Deli, Impresario Entertainment and Hospitality, which operates brands such as Mamagoto, Wow Momos and Chaayos.
Restaurants are outraged that the discounts they have to offer when customers pay at restaurants through apps like his Dineout and his Zomato Pay hurt profitability, especially when restaurants are limping. that is not sustainable in the long term. Two years after COVID-related restrictions and a hyperinflationary environment.
However, Swiggy stated in a statement that it would like to opt out of the platform Dining. added that you are free to choose app.
"Swiggy Dineout works with more over 15,000 restaurant partners on our platform in over 20 cities, continuously working together to improve our offerings and make this partnership accessible to all. restaurant partners have complete freedom to choose the amount of discount they offer their customers through their app listings," said a Swiggy spokesperson.
Thousands of affiliates continue to join and post on Swiggy Dineout every month, but only a handful of his Dineout affiliates want to be removed from the platform. We will continue to work with our restaurant partners and his NRAI representatives to review the decision," he added.
Sources also say the number of brands that have opted out is just over 20, with each brand having multiple outlets, and the delistings taking place on a much larger scale than is actually the case. It looks like The likes of Eazydiner. Meanwhile, NRAI said the number of stores opting out of Dineout is likely to exceed 1,000 by next week.
"I am absolutely against big price cuts. Based on our current understanding, Eazydiner is more like a credit card sponsored cashback booking platform than a restaurant."
We are currently focusing on the Zomato Pay and Swiggy Dineout as we are concerned that these platforms will make the restaurant business largely focused on discounts and fraternity offers that are already struggling. struggling with low profit margins after Covid and food inflation due to the recent war. We have not yet advised our members to sign out of EazyDiner, but if we see a significant reduction happening there as well, we will log out as well," he added.
Restaurants' disconnection from dining transactions comes weeks after the National Restaurant Association of India issued advice to restaurants regarding Swiggy Dineout and Zomato Pay. At the time, he said these programs would make on-site dining much cheaper.
In its advice, the NRAI said restaurants should carefully check the terms and conditions and then make an all informed decision about whether to participate in these programs. "That's a big deal because they've both reached new heights in terms of how much they can charge for delivery orders (currently in the 25-30% range) – stepping up to expand the pie is a big deal. the only way forward," he added.
Swiggy has made a foray into the restaurant segment following its recent acquisition of Dineout, while Zomato has entered the space with its earlier programs such as Zomato Gold & Pro which allows consumers to Take advantage of the deals when dining at the restaurant. Zomato is currently rolling out a Zomato payment option that allows its restaurant partners to "extend discounts to customers who pay the value of their bill through Zomato Pay."
NRAI partnered with Swiggy Dineout and Zomato to refine their food service templates into one that benefits both the restaurant and the platform. The fraternity is more than eager to have a platform of discovery without falling deep.
Daryani added that even though he just received a proposal from Swiggy Dineout this week which NRAI is currently reviewing, he is still stuck with Zomato on Zomato Pay even though he has successfully resolved it. some problems for the benefit of restaurants with food delivery aggregators in the recent past.
NRAI and other restaurant organizations launched a "#Logout" campaign in 2019, in which they encouraged restaurants to log out of Zomato because of commission issues, data masks, and discounts. deep as well as building dropshipping.
Most recently, in 2021, NRAI also filed a complaint with the main Competition Commission of India (CCI) requesting an investigation into the alleged anti-competitive practices of Swiggy and Zomato.
Is Swiggy's big moment with Dineout in a dilemma?
The decades-old startup was acquired by Swiggy in May 2022 in a $200 million deal with its former owner Times Internet.
While Dineout will continue to be a standalone app, founders Ankit Mehrotra, Nikhil Bakshi, Sahil Jain and Vivek Kapoor will be joining Swiggy.
Swiggy acquired Dineout with the intention of taking over much of the food industry by going digital. Whether it's restaurant discovery, table reservations or cloud kitchens, online or takeout functionality, Zomato and Swiggy have always worked hard to gain a foothold in the ecosystem.
Zomato's plans for the Zomaverse – the live food festival – also compete with Dineout's acquisition of SteppinOut. As a result, Swiggy will also be able to host a variety of offline events and experiences, from food festivals, night markets, comedy events and movie nights, and more.
With restaurants disconnecting from Swiggy Dineout, the company faces a dilemma as a YS report claims that more than 400 brands and more than 900 food outlets in 13 Indian cities Do has sent Swiggy delisting notices for the past two weeks. Another 2,000 stores are expected to follow, the industry body said.
Swiggy has more than 15,000 restaurants and cafes on Dineout, the spokesperson said, leaving them free to decide how much discount they want to offer.
This is likely to dent the company's revenue amid growing losses as Swiggy reported a loss of INR 1,165 in FY21.
The company is far from profitable and has to spend on it. campaigns to get more and more restaurants operating. The campaign to disconnect high-end restaurants will likely put Swiggy Dineout in a dilemma.
Instamart, Swiggy's fast grocery delivery service, is targeting a base of 100 million users over the next 4-5 years.
Karthik Gurumurthy, Senior Vice President of Instamart, said that in the past year, Instamart has grown its business 16 times. "So we sincerely believe it could be the base 100 million." Instamart has 9 million transactional users as of August 2022.
Launched in 2020, Instamart has since expanded in its presence to more than 25 cities. In 2021, a $700 million investment was committed to the development of Instamart, and earlier this year Swiggy raised the amount led by Invesco. Gurumurthy's confidence in hitting growth numbers is supported by growing disposable income and a growing middle class.
Instamart, Swiggy's fast grocery delivery service, is targeting its 100 million user base in next 4 to 5 years.
Launched in 2020, Instamart has since expanded all its presence to more than 25 cities. In 2021, a $700 million investment was committed to the development of Instamart, and earlier this year Swiggy raised the amount led by Invesco. Gurumurthy's confidence in hitting growth numbers is supported by growing disposable income and a growing middle class.
The fast commerce market is also poised to grow. According to a report by Redseer in March, India's express commerce market is poised to grow 10 to 15 times by 2025, also reaching a market size of nearly $5.5 billion. Gurumurthy said Instamart is on track to hit $1 billion in gross market value (GMV) this financial year.
Growth strategies applied. "We still see that there are a lot of Swiggy users who haven't transacted on Instamart. So, how can we become more relevant to them and drive them to trade? We didn't need to do much because they were on the Swiggy platform," Gurumurthy pointed out.
Cross-pollination in new strains and strains are other pillars of growth. "The demand for basic electrical and electronic goods and everyday consumer goods is very large, the demand for household goods is very low. These are the areas where we see more and more demand," said Gurumurthy. There are more than 500 brands and 5,000 products on the platform.
Swiggy delivery agents' agitation against the new pay structure began on Thursday
Swiggy's services were hit in Chennai for five days as delivery agents on the platform reacted for their new compensation structure compensation structure. Some protesters began their 350-kilometer march from Chennai to the food delivery company's headquarters in Bengaluru on Friday, but stopped after the leadership agreed to negotiate.
Delivery agents call the new compensation structure exploitative and say it has removed their cash incentives. One protester, C Nandhini (24), has told herself and many others that their job at Swiggy is the only thing that will protect them from a financial crisis.
The girl who graduated from ECE from Tirunelveli became a delivery worker because she could not find a job. "The new payment structure has eliminated our daily offers. It is very difficult to earn a decent amount in this job. How can I even buy food this way? ' she asked.
It's not fair to get preemptive rights from workers, Geetha, secretary of the National Federation of Disorganized Labor, told TNIE. She added, companies need to increase base wages to retain workers. Labor rights advocates say unskilled jobs should have a minimum wage and that the government should regulate and bring transparency to the sector.
Designer Chief Coordinator Seeman has urged the state government to hold talks with Swiggy to resolve the issue and propose a separate state law to protect the rights of those working on the tech platform number.
What does Swiggy Dineout do? also Last month, the Bengaluru-based online food delivery platform Swiggy also had announced the integration of Dineout, a decades-old startup that it acquired in May 2022 for $200 million. with its former owner Times Internet – with its actual main app on Android and iOS. . While Swiggy's main business is food delivery, Dineout offers subscribers discounts when they eat out.
Dineout up to 40% off restaurant bills. Users who pay for their food through the Swiggy Dineout service see their bills drop significantly. According to the NRAI, dining partners listed on Dineout have been asked to voluntarily switch to Swiggy's new dining platform, Swiggy Diners (renamed Dineout).
The majority of these businesses are members of the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI). "We no longer understood what problem the company was trying to solve. There must be a purpose to reduce the price. Either way, customers know our restaurant and enjoy the dining experience. After Once it was done, they started looking for offers for those Riyaaz Amlani, CEO of Impresario, backed by L Catterton Asia
Amlani adding that Impresario is also not available on Zomato Pay products, allowing customers customers looking for restaurant discounts.
"This is not a restaurant-friendly operation. Swiggy's delivery business has stabilized and now they're trying to find new ways to eat in restaurants," he said.
For over a year, the restaurant industry has been struggling due to monetary constraints and rising costs due to food inflation.
The move comes a month after the industry regulator, NRAI, warned its member partners about programs offered by Swiggy and Zomato that promote restaurant orders.
In an announcement issued in September, the restoration agency said these programs could have a lasting impact on the overall restoration ecosystem. "Both Zomato and Swiggy have built a payment gateway – Zomato Pay and Swiggy Dineout – that incentivizes our customers to use their payment gateway by offering discounts, $100 cashback, and special offers.
Bank offers, and urged restaurant partners to use this payment gateway in accordance with the unfounded promise NRAI said at the time.Thousands of partners continue to join us each month and sign up. on Swiggy Dineout and only a small number of partner restaurants have expressed a desire to withdraw from the platform (no withdrawal penalty).We continue to work with partner restaurants and NRAI representatives to review. their options," said a Swiggy spokesperson.
Aggregates are looking for growth by expanding their restaurant business as restaurant traffic has picked up again. In May of this year, the SoftBank-backed aggregator acquired the Times Internet-owned table-booking platform Dineout in a deal worth around $150 million.
"These two products (Dineout and Zomato Pay) are based on a high discount. It's all tied to 10-40% off and sometimes $100 off. That's also the culture they've built in the delivery, now they bring it to the restaurant. They will basically take away all of our profits there," said Pranav Rungta, Chapter Head, Mumbai of NRAI.
Restaurants are also concerned about the payment features built into the aggregator that customers can use to pay. "They incentivize customers to pay through their app and charge a 3-5% commission to restaurant partners. As a result, we pay higher commissions on payouts and payment cycles get longer and longer," he said.
As well as discounts, Dineout shares insights on customer reviews, opening hours, locations, and more. It also displays the menu and allows the user to reserve a table.
Why are restore points leaving Swiggy Dineout?
According to NRAI, the on-site restaurant business is currently very profitable and restaurant margins will decrease if food aggregators gain a foothold there, because of the cost of discounts and flowers. The commission charged by the aggregators will increase.
NRAI, which has more than 500,000 restaurants around the country as its members, has repeatedly said that Dineout's deep discounting techniques are disrupting the restaurant's core food business and popularizing a "danger culture won't change".
Aggregate platforms are offering discounts of up to 40% on each meal bill paid through the platform's portal, leaving alarming profits for restaurants, according to the association.
Why the grievances against Zomato and Swiggy?
Discontent has steadily grown in the food industry against the two unicorns – Zomato and Swiggy. And Over the years, these two food aggregators have caused a wave of alarm among restaurants with their discounts, commissions, restaurant programs, customer complaints and data sharing.
NRAI vehemently opposes some of the practices that Zomato and Swiggy followed. However, this isn't the first time he's launched a campaign against restaurant features offered by food tech companies. In 2019, NRAI launched the #Logout campaign against Zomato Gold.
The reason at the time was that Zomato Gold charged high commissions for restaurant bookings by customers and massive discounts for subscribers. Zomato discontinued the Gold program shortly after. However, it recently announced its new Zomato Pay offering.
With huge cashbacks and discounts (up to 30% of bill value plus bank discounts), the restaurant business through food technology is not profitable for restaurants, NRAI claims. Father. In addition, these cafes and restaurants pay a 4-10% commission to food technology aggregators.
"Our position is clear:
we don't need discounts when discovering restaurants. The end game is to talk to both platforms and come up with a show that is acceptable to the industry, that doesn't burn us money. We can't change someone's business plan; Swiggy paid a large amount of money to get Dineout. All we're saying is to do it in an acceptable way; Stick it with the booking, don't let the discount dictate it," he said.
But not all companies are happy with the program. A marketing executive at a hotel chain said the company receives about 150 covers a month using a table-booking app at nominal prices. "Restaurants pay a commission of 4.5-5% on the platform, which is not enough to drive traffic to our restaurants, which may or may not drive business." business, due to competition," this person said.
How will logging out affect Swiggy?
With restaurants disconnecting from Swiggy Dineout, the company will be thrown into turmoil as NRAI says more than 400 brands and more than 900 dining outlets in 13 cities across the country have sent cancellation notices. listing for Swiggy in the last two weeks. Another 2,000 stores are expected to follow, the industry body said.
Since Swiggy has more than 15,000 restaurants and cafes on Dineout, the disconnection of high-end brands and stores is likely to hit the company's revenue amid growing losses; In fiscal year 21, Swiggy reported a loss of 1,165 ₹ crore. The company is far from profitable and is running campaigns that integrate more and more restaurants. The massive restaurant disconnect campaign could put Swiggy Dineout in a quandary and threaten to put the main driver of the food tech platform's growth in the water.
And Zomato?
After reports emerged that all the high-end restaurants with multiple outlets in Delhi-NCR had withdrawn from the Swiggy Dineout listing amid severe discounting issues, reliable industry sources have been told a news agency on Thursday that most of those cafes and restaurants have also been removed from other online food delivery platforms such as Zomato.
Swiggy, however, denies migrating from upscale cafes and restaurants to Dineout. A spokesperson for Swiggy told a news outlet that Swiggy Dineout works with more than 15,000 restaurant partners on the platform in more than 20 cities and is constantly engaging with them to improve the offering and make the relationship stronger.
This partnership is possible for everyone. Sources told the agency that only 20 brands with nearly 400 stores had been withdrawn from Swiggy Dineout, and one of those brands had nearly 250 food outlets.
"Restaurant partners on Swiggy Dineout have complete freedom to determine how much discount they want to offer customers through their in-app subscriptions," the spokesperson said.
"Thousands of partners continue to join us each month and sign up on Swiggy Dineout, and only a handful of restaurant partners have expressed their desire to withdraw from the platform. We continue to work with partner restaurants and NRAI representatives to review their options," the food delivery platform told the news agency.
4 main reasons why restaurants complain to ICC about Zomato and Swiggy
1. Complaint from the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) in July 2021.
NRAI, which represents more than 50,000 restaurants nationwide, complained that the online restaurant platforms were in violation of the regulations of the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI). Competition Act 2002. may increase up to 30%. According to NRAI, Zomato charges up to 27.8% of the order value for restaurants listed on its platform. For cloud kitchens, commissions rose to 37%, stating the relevance in the complaint.
2. The two companies have been accused of concealing customer data and combining delivery services with listing services. CCI believes this affects competition in the market as the increased costs of doing business are passed on to the final consumer duly. In addition, delivery quality is affected as some partner restaurants (RPs) are not able to make independent deliveries.
3. NRAI alleges that Swiggy and Zomato collect data about consumers based on their past purchases and use that data to personalize offers for each consumer, thereby order the restaurant what they should offer and what they shouldn't.
4. NRAI says both food delivery apps have created barriers to entry for new food delivery platforms. As a result, no new players have entered the market in the past three years.
Pandemic pain?
"It should be noted that NRAI has engaged with aggregators and relevant government agencies over the past few years to address existing industry versus operational issues. of the general company," the association said in a statement. "These pain points have been deeply amplified during the pandemic, as restaurants and cloud kitchens struggle to survive due to their increased reliance on these aggregators.
"In the absence of a permanent solution, the NRAI submitted information to the ICC on July 1, 2021 outlining the concerns and problems with the operation of food aggregators, should ideally act as a neutral market."

Yes. She is an amazing poet. Every time I read her poem I feel like I'm reading my work. Ahha.
Okay, this was the last one.
Honestly, she has got skills, rhymes, sense of sensibility, and she is awesome. Trust me.
Don't believe me. Know it yourself.
Check out her blog here. Click upon her name above.
Actually. I am short of words to depict how good she actually is.

Pingback: Part 2-3 Days 3 Quote- Day 1 – I'm Here;Right Here.
Jazak Allah…these are beautiful reminders certainly.
Oh. Hello. I already have my own glasses.
That was really sweet of you to say that sis.
But, no you're not a loser. Let's be in different competitions then.
Pingback: 3 Day 3 Quote: Day 2 – I'm Here; Right Here.
Oh and that verse from Surat ul Baqarah about how Allah doesn't burden a soul more than it can bear is actually only half the meaning. That's the easier meaning. It also at the same time means that Allah will not ask of you more than you can potentially accomplish. Which means that we have abilities and talents that Allah has given to us and if we don't use those talents for good, we will be asked about it on Qiyaamah. He won't ask us for more than we have the potential for, but He WILL ask us about the things we could've accomplished and yet we let our power and talents go to waste.
For example: If you've got a way with words and you know how to engage people in a specific kind of conversation, you should use it to your advantage and talk to the person about something that will help him or guide him.
Some people are naturally compassionate and Saabir. Those are the qualities of a Da'ee. And if they let their abilities got to waste, they will be asked about it.
I just thought I'd elaborate since this verse is very commonly translated as only half it's meaning, and it deserves more justice.
Very beautifully explained. I hope you do this to every single time I post such verses.
What I wrote is what's the translation.
Translations are usually never enough see? They give only half the meaning.
Loved the quotes. SubhanAllah, they speak a sea of knowledge if one pays attention. Thanks for sharing them.
I don't think there are any other quotes that can stand in front of these. Most beautiful!
Waiting for DAY 2 and 3!
And I had already noticed that your ":roll:" has become ":3".

Wow, what an exciting episode or at least interesting. It felt as a beginning but not as something that could be the season final. I believe this plot will give rise to the season final. I don't believe that the case will be solved until then.
In today's episode JJ got flowers together with a card that said "Zugzwang", which made the team realize that the copycat, called the Replicator, is actually targeting them. At the meantime, killings in Philadelphia took place, which were also copies from one of the cases the team worked with before. So the team went to Philadelphia since they believe that the Replicator were the one killing these people. In the end they caught the unsub of the killings in Philadelphia but he wasn't the Replicator. The Replicator had manipulated the unsub to kill those women. The team get a new lead on the Replicator so they head to a new city and find a room he/she has put in order for them. The Replicator has left another body and put up one photo collage for each member of the team. This is where the episode end.
We basically no nothing we didn't know before about the Replicator, except how smart and well planned he is. It feels like he will be one of the most dangerous criminals the team has worked with. Which basically means that the whole team would not solve the case without losing something. I can't see where the Replicator will do wrong and make a mistake at this point.
I don't think the episode offered an unexpected turn. I wasn't completely fooled about who were the Replicator since I thought they catched the unsub too quickly and too early in the episode. This story has been a part of the whole season so it would have been strange if it all ended after one episode. I hope it will turn out to something good and that the rest of the season will be thrilling. Right know I would love to learn more about the Replicator; I'm getting a bit bored of seeing the same photos, taken by the Replicator, of the team. I want more!
It was interesting to get the connection to the word Zugzwang from the episode also called Zugswang. I have always thought it to be weird that Diane would have made her the effort to disguise her voice and leave the message.
Also the quote from todays episode, said by Charles Caleb Colton, made me think about the Replicator. Does the quote try to say that the Replicator is doing this because he admires the team and the BAU? I don't know. It could also have been directed towards todays episode.
We will se what will happen next. They mentioned Jason Gideon a lot. Is this of importance? Will he maybe show up again on the show or is that just silly hopes from a Criminal Mind's fangirl? More clues will hopefully be given next week in the next episode.
This entry was posted in Tv series and tagged 8x16 Carbon Copy, Charles Caleb Colton, Criminal Minds, Jason Gideon, JJ, quotes, Zugzwang.

Career Military Cool To New Survivor Benefit Proposal
MAY 12, 2015, FORT WORTH, Texas – America's career servicemembers are turning a cold shoulder to a new proposal to reform a government insurance plan that pays lifetime monetary benefits to the survivors of military retirees.
The latest results of the First Command Financial Behaviors Index® reveal that the majority of middle-class military families (commissioned officers and senior NCOs in pay grades E-6 and above with household incomes of at least $50,000) like the military's current Survivor Benefit Plan better than the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission's recent recommendation to create a new option that is fully funded by servicemembers but removes the unpopular Dependency and Indemnity Compensation offset. Roughly two thirds (64 percent) of survey respondents say they prefer to be grandfathered in under the current system.
While 57 percent of servicemember families say they are in favor of the new proposal, that broad backing doesn't necessarily translate into support for the change. The proposal gives existing servicemembers the option of staying with the current Survivor Benefit Plan.
"These survey results show that most career servicemembers are not interested in trading in their current Survivor Benefit Plan for a newer model," said Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command Financial Services, Inc. "Cost appears to be a significant consideration. A recent survey by the Military Officers Association of America found that nearly two-thirds of respondents said they would be unwilling to pay higher premiums in exchange for the elimination of the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation offset."
Under current law, retirees contribute 6.5 percent of pre-tax retired pay for Survivor Benefit Plan coverage. The Military Officers Association of America writes that "survivors who are eligible for both the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) must forfeit a dollar of their SBP annuity for every dollar of DIC received from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Often, the offset wipes out the SBP annuity for which the military retiree paid." The Commission's recommendation to remove the offset would raise retirees' Survivor Benefit Plan contributions to 11.5 percent.
Retirement benefits are of high interest to career servicemember families. March survey results reveal that one in four families say they are being impacted by sequestration-related reductions in retirement benefits. And one in five rank retirement pay as their most important military benefit.

Things to Do in Rome, Italy
Rome is one of the world's most recognisable cities, but that doesn't mean it won't surprise and overwhelm you from the moment you arrive. You may think you've seen it all in the movies and in your high school history class. But nothing can quite replicate the feeling of awe you'll have standing at the foot of an ancient Roman monument that you never thought you'd see in real life.
1. Watch the sunset from the Spanish Steps
There are few better places in Rome to take in a perfect urban sunset than atop the Spanish Steps. Find a spot somewhere close to the top and get ready for an evening of people watching. Tourists, hawkers, buskers, and locals will go about their evening activities, often oblivious to the spectacular skies above them.
Insider tip: Dress warm and stay the distance. Even if it gets cold and dark, there's something unique about enjoying the transition of Rome from day into night from this dramatic location.
2. Trevi Fountain
Trevi Fountain recently received a complete restoration, and it's looking more spectacular than ever. Visit it during the day and night for two unique experiences. It's the finest Baroque fountain in the city, and possibly the world. There's a certain magic about stumbling round a corner to discover this truly impressive structure, and definitely a must on your "things to do in Rome" list.
Insider tip: If you're the superstitious type, bring a few coins to toss over your shoulder into the fountain – legend has it that this will ensure a return trip to Rome.
3. Dine out on pizza and pasta
Rome may just be the pizza and pasta capital of the world, but you might have to work a bit to find the ultimate dish at a reasonable price. As in any big city, tourist traps abound, but in Rome, there are gems hidden around every corner. Even the city's touristic center has a few world-class establishments. The best way to find a top meal is to ask a local, or to do some extensive research online, away from the traditional restaurant apps and websites.
Insider tip: These three restaurants are worth tracking down: Betto e Mary (Via dei Savorgnan 99) in Pigneto for their carbonara; Da Enzo (Via dei Vascellari 29) in Trastevere for a reasonably priced homely meal; and La Montecarlo (Vicolo Dei Savelli 13) in the center of Rome for one of the city's best pizzas.
4. Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill
While the Colosseum may be more attractive outside than in, it's still an essential place to visit when in Rome. It's difficult not to feel a pull from the profound and macabre history that defines this ancient structure. You'll take an instant trip back in time to one of history's more brutal eras. Combine it with a trip to the nearby Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, which feel almost surreal in their grandeur, and you'll have the perfect Rome starter pack under your belt.
Insider tip: For the best deal, purchase a combination ticket online to skip the queues, and be sure to hang onto it. It will give you access to all three attractions.
5. Walk the Roman Ghetto
The Roman Ghetto was a Jewish ghetto established in the mid-1500s, and for many years life there was one of enforced poverty. Today, it offers a small but fascinating glimpse into another era via a series of alleyways and public squares. They are worth exploring either on your own or on a guided tour.
Insider tip: Visit the Jewish Museum of Rome to learn about the neighbourhood's tragic history of prejudice and oppression, and to gain insight into its present-day residents.
6. Vatican City
Regardless of your religious affiliations, St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City will stun you and leave you in awe of these remarkable human achievements. St. Peter's Basilica is one of the most lavish churches in the world. Don't skip over the nearby Sistine Chapel – what it lacks in size, it makes up for in artistic beauty. It is, after all, the home of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam – a work of art you may have seen reproduced countless times before, which is simply exhilarating to see in person.
Insider tip: Prepare to queue for both attractions, and be sure to dress appropriately. Security often enforces a strict dress code of no shorts, bare shoulders, or mini-skirts.
7. Find peace and quiet in a garden
Rome has several public spaces dotted throughout the city. When the often chaotic streets become too overwhelming, a retreat to one of these can offer a rejuvenating reprieve. Villa Borghese is one of the largest parks in Rome – it has ample space to stretch your legs or relax on the grass, and also has stunning views over the city. The Orange Garden on the Aventine Hill offers a totally new perspective on this magical city.
Insider tip: A trip to one of Rome's famous parks is a great way to reflect on your time in the city, and perfect for filling a gap you may have before departing on your last morning.
A trip to Rome is a fully immersive experience. Just a few days here will leave you yearning for more and planning a return visit. Don't let the gravity of one of Europe's most famous capitals intimidate you – the history and culture will capture your heart and imagination.

Kerala nun rape case, Franco Mulakkal not guilty, says Kerala special court; The story so far
January 14, 2022 January 14, 2022 News desk	Bishop, Franco Mulakkal, High Court of Kerala, Kerala Nun Rape Case
Kerala nun rape case, which triggered a controversy is again breaking news as the Bishop accused has been acquitted by a court in Kerala. Kerala was shocked to hear the sexual assault complaint which had been lodged against Jalandhar Franco Mulakkal.
The additional sessions court in Kottayam ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove that Bishop had committed the crime. "Daivathinu sthuthi which translates Praise the Lord!," Mulakkal told reporters, before leaving the court premises. He broke down in court and embraced his lawyers when the verdict was announced.
Bishop Franco Mulakkal was accused of raping a nun several times between 2014 and 2016. Although there were complaints of rape against the priest, this was the first time a complaint had been lodged against a bishop, and Franco Mulakkal was the first Catholic bishop in India to be arrested for rape, based on a complaint of a nun.
The case was also in limelight and in talks because the victim was a nun and it was the first rape case against a bishop in India and the case has gained great importance in society.
The Kerala nun rape case
The incidents upon the case started in 2018 when Franco Mulakkal filed a complaint against the nun and her relatives. Two priests representing Franco Mula have filed a complaint with the state police chief alleging that the nun and her relatives threatened to file a complaint of torture.
The bishop's argued that it was a false case because of resentment at the removal of the nun from the position of Mother Superior. The nun lodged a complaint with the district police chief after the case was registered on the bishop's complaint. The case has been registered in the court with the details citing that the bishop is charged with rape, criminal intimidation, and forceful confinement.
In the nun's complaint, it was reported that then bishop of the Jalandhar diocese of the Church, raped her and subjected her to unnatural sex 13 times between 2014 and 2016 at the Mission convent in Kuravilangad. Shortly after the FIR was registered, in September 2018, a group of nuns close to the victim began a hunger strike in front of the Kerala High Court premises in Kochi demanding the arrest of Mulakkal.
As per reports, the first attempt to rape was in April 2014. The nun had alleged that Mulakkal had raped her 13 times at her Congregation's mission house in Kottayam district, over a period of two years from May 5, 2014. The nun complained that after attending a church service in Thrissur, the Bishop himself came to the guest house of Kuravilangade Math, called her to room number 20, and raped her. Later arriving at Jalandhar, the bishop called from there and spoke badly, the nun complained. Following this, a complaint was lodged in the church at that time.

The trial began in September 2020, and Mulakal approached the High Court and the Supreme Court with a petition to quash the charges against him but the courts refused to consider the petition. Following several interrogations and complaints, the bishop had been arrested in the rape case and was lodged in judicial custody for 25 days after his arrest in September 2018. Mulakkal was relieved from official duties at the Jalandhar diocese after he was charged by the police in the rape case.

OnApp is a feisty little vendor that simply won't give in to the incumbents – no, in the face of the thousand pound gorillas in the market, OnApp finds ways to make itself stand out from the crowd. Of course being based in Europe helps – Edward Snowden may have achieved lots of things but In European cloud vendors eyes he's done them a great service by shining a light (perceived or real) on the risks of doing business with US vendors. But OnApp finds other ways to differentiate as well – whether it's by partnering with a third party to offer service providers a complete turnkey cloud management platform or by extending their platform to cover a completely hybrid approach toward infrastructure, OnApp is doing things differently.
Today it's the turn of incremental backup to get some exposure. OnApp is introducing the service in an effort to save time, cost and bandwidth for customers, be they hosts, telcos or service providers. Essentially the new version of OnApp includes incremental backup that enables end users to chose which files they chose to backup – a pretty simple concept (yes, just like Dropbox's "select which files to sync on this device" option) but one which allows OnApp's customers to add some value to their customers in turn.
Previously OnApp allowed snapshotting of entire virtual servers, but incremental backup gives a more granular option for those customers who need it – the service can either be used on an ad hoc basis or automated via a backup schedule. Service providers can also control the number of free backups their customers get as well as set backup limits and specific pricing on backup for different customers.
In terms of operating systems, the service supports Linux Virtual Servers running on Xen and KVM hypervisors, and Linux Smart Servers running on KVM. Incremental backup for Windows and other operating systems is available through OnApp's partnership with Bacula4Hosts.
Alongside incremental backup, OnApp is introducing new features to allow the grouping of server, storage and network resourcing so that customers can assign specific resources to a particular geographic location and bill independently – this allows service providers to more granularly account for geographic differences in the costs of services.
Finally OnApp has released new branding packages for its mobile cloud management applications that allows OnApp customers to customize their mobile control applications for their own look and feel – again a small change, but one which will prove valuable to service providers looking to eek out more points of differentiation.
I like what OnApp is doing here, there are a huge number of hosters, telcos and other service providers just looking for a vendor that allows them the ability to compete in the modern cloudy world. OnApp provides some real value to that market and is delivering a credible story.

Currently completing her final year at the Institute of Design & Fine Arts in Lahti, Finland, designer Hannakaisa Pekkala has worked together with Northern Lighting to create Circle, a simple dark grey pendant lamp.
Inspired by graphic lines, Hannakaisa started with a circle and added graphic lines to create a is contemporary pendant light as a break from traditional chandeliers.
Made from powder coated steel with a fabric cord, the thin metal form looks different from every angle, making it work with any interior decor style.

PSD to WordPress, does who I choose matter? Prices vary so much amount companies?
I had a website and the hosting company disappeared. All I have is every page saved as individual *.mht files all the images and things are in there. Is there any way or any host that will let me upload the *.mht files so that I can recreate the website? Any help would be very much appreciated.
i've grown bored with my iPhone App, but whether I like it or not it is starting to get some interest from rather large organizations, so I've picked it back up.
I have written a few, you might want to post this in the Wall street section? Look online for samples and create your own, or if you don't have time go find a business plan software and it's pretty easy from there.
..I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do this.
Also want to make sure the logo "home" link directs to this link as well.
Can someone help me with columns in IE7?
Hi everybody, making a site for a client of mine and while I have most of the site done, I can't figure out what is happening to the layout in IE7. I tested the site in all the other popular browsers/version, but in IE7 the div that holds the navigation positions way far to the right and interferes with the content. Can anybody give me a hand with this?
Anyone a user on the site?
Wow ok have you even looked at the site all the way in depth at every shirt you have? Also, do you make affiliate sales off of each shirt you sell? Or what is the deal here? I looked at about 6 shirts on there just browsing around and one of them had a broken link to no website at all, another had a link to just an image and no where to buy the shirt and the other 4 had completly wrong prices..actually the prices are higher on your site than they are when you are redirected to the new site.
Thoughts on what to use to sell products of a small company?
I've been brainstorming quite a bit and Google Checkout or Paypal Shoppingcart seems the most viable to me. I have less than 30 items, and it is a very focused market.
I've established myself on Etsy already (a storefront for vintage and handmade items), and right now the domain points to my shop there. I do pretty well, and make enough money to keep going and fund my r&d for other items. So overall, it wouldnt be worth setting up a whole storefront install, time and money wise since I already have google checkout and paypal accounts.
Read RSS feed using PHP?
On my ebay store there's an RSS feed.
Since I plan to eventually sell through my own domain, I want to publicize that RSS feed, but for it to be from *my* site/my domains RSS feed.
Anyone got any thoughts on the easiest way to get each RSS feed's story/post into a PHP string?
Clueless to the whole RSS thing.
Then I want to publish it everywhere for the best coverage, but can they can banned like domain names can, sandboxed or something? Wouldn't want that to happen.
Anyone else's Adsense revenue down v.retargeting?
Before, my sites with Adsense were doing relatively well. Ads were relevant to the content.
In the last few weeks, and especially the last week, my clicks have been low, and the few clicks I do get aren't paying what they normally pay.
I visited my sites to see what is going on, and 90% of the ads are retarget ads (ads for sites I've been browsing earlier) that have nothing to do with the content for my sites.
For example, if one of my sites was about green widgets, normally the ads are also about green widgets, but recently they've been about trading gold futures and car tires (because apparently I visited a futures trading site and a tire site) rather than related to the content of my site.

Oshigambo principal suspended amidst fights with Elcin
Albertina Nakale WINDHOEK - The principal of Oshigambo High School Hendrik Shikonda has been suspended to pave the way for an investigation that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (Elcin) has instituted over alleged mismanagement of the school. The school is owned and run by Elcin, with the assistance of a subsidy from the government. It is alleged the school principal was involved in maladministration whereby school development funds were misused. It is alleged that the school's financial books are in a shambles as no proper auditing of funds was carried out independently. Shikonda did not want to comment on his suspension but rather referred New Era to the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture. The spokesperson in the education ministry, Abasalom Absalom, confirmed Shikonda's suspension. He explained that under the government subsidy agreement some of the teachers, including the principal of the school, are paid by the state. Therefore, Absalom said, Shikonda is an employee of the state and his file is covered by public service regulations, including the protection of information relating to staff members. "As such, I can confirm that Mr Shikonda was suspended last year. He was placed at the regional office with temporary duties to pave the way for an investigation that Elcin wanted to carry out at its institution," he said. "The investigation was concluded and the church requested that Mr Shikonda be transferred from Oshigambo High School, citing disharmonious working relations between Elcin and Mr Shikonda," Absalom said. He however did not reveal the findings of the report compiled by the church regarding the allegations levelled against Shikonda. Absalom confirmed that Shikonda has now been transferred from the school and placed at the regional office with a new duty sheet pending the conclusion of the case. As to the nature of the case, he said that it is confidential staff information that he would not discuss in public. However, he noted that Shikonda is still receiving his monthly salary and all other benefits entitled to him although he is at the regional office. As to the acting arrangement, Absalom said the ministry is still waiting to be informed by the school board of the person recommended to act as principal, as prescribed by the Education Act. Last year, Oshigambo High School emerged as one of the top five performing private schools among St Boniface, St Paul's, Elcin Nkurenkuru and Swakopmund Private School. The school, which boasts of a number of leading personalities as part of its alumni, ranging from politicians to business leaders and other professionals, is one of Namibia's oldest schools in the north. Some of the leading politicians who passed through the school include Nahas Angula, Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana, Nangolo Mbumba, Erkki Nghimtina, Ben Ulenga and Jesaya Nyamu, among others.

How do you know when a product, or idea, is enough to build a company on? What is the best path to success for launching in the current market climate? Attend to learn the latest thinking and best practices for navigating the path from lab to market.
New technologies and ideas are exciting. Until we get our hands on them, that is. Then we realize that there is a non-insignificant amount of work left to do and we hesitate: Should I spend any more time on this? Is this ready for (fill the blank)? Is this an innovation? When should I give up?. In lack of a crystal ball the answers (in order) read NO, NO, NO, NOW.
The problem might appear to be in the technology. It really isn't. It is in the questions and in a profound misunderstanding of the innovation process. This talk is about the process, hands-on innovation, asking the right questions, and allowing yourself to discover where to go from here. For the last 6 years we have taught this process hands on to over 500 students at MIT, working with over 100 MIT Principal Investigators from all across campus, to figure out what's next for over 120 technologies from across campus and beyond.
Interest in entrepreneurship is exploding globally yet many people believe that entrepreneurship cannot be taught, that those who become successful were born with something others lack. But the greatest entrepreneurs—Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and all the others—really had just one thing in common: They made great products. Disciplined Entrepreneurship offers a comprehensive, integrated and proven step-by-step approach to founding a company through creating an innovative, highly successful product. It breaks down the necessary processes into 24 discrete steps that any industrious person can learn and apply.
