Official sources informed TNS that it has been decided to develop these properties and lease out so that a regular income is assured to the corporation, while it builds its assets in the real estate sector. The corporation has already invited expression of interest from professional consultancy organisations for consolidating their real estate portfolio. The consultancy entails feasibility study, including techno-economic viability assessment of expected growth potential in sectors like commercial, housing and retail for fresh acquisition.
The corporation had been acquiring land in major tier I and tier II cities for the past two years. The strategic business unit of LIC, Estate Management division, has acquired properties in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Chennai, Kanpur, besides Mohali, Amritsar and Ludhiana in Punjab. The idea, say officials here, is to invest money in high growth sector like real estate, so that better returns can be offered to policy holders and LIC can diversify its asset base.
It is learnt that while one lakh square feet of residential property is being developed in Borivilli, Mumbai, about 80,000 square feet of property in Vastrapur in Ahemdabad is being developed for commercial use. In Kolkata, LIC is constructing a shopping mall on five acres of land. Besides, the property in Mohali, which was procured by the corporation in 2008 for a whopping Rs 465 crore, is being developed into a shopping mall-cum-commercial area. An investment of over Rs 500 crore is estimated for developing this 9.6 acres of land in Mohali.
Sources said no decision had yet been taken on the best use option for the property acquired in Ludhiana and Amritsar. But the work on this is underway and these properties will be developed soon, said officials. They said besides making fresh acquisitions, the insurer also intends to develop existing vacant plots and redevelopment of old properties, especially in Mumbai and Bangalore.
Chandigarh unit eyes 20% growth
The Chandigarh division of the LIC is eyeing over 20 per cent growth in collection from first premium and pension products during the current fiscal. The company is looking at a collection of Rs 645 crore from new premium and Rs 150 crore from pension products, said senior divisional manager, Chandigarh, Raghupal Singh. He said during the first five months of this fiscal, LIC has posted a growth of 114 per cent in terms of premium collection at Rs 292 crore by selling 1.10 lakh policies. He added that LIC has set up a centralised office called Metro Area Service Hub at Zirakpur to render better services to customers.
BNP Paribas SA, Credit Agricole CIB, HSBC Holdings Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc are among the banks that may lend £2.5 billion over a period of five years, it said.
According to the report, Citigroup Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, Standard Chartered Plc and ING Vysya Bank Ltd may also provide funds to Tata Steel.
Quoting people familiar with the development, Bloomberg said that State Bank of India may arrange a £1 billion loan over a period of seven years. — PTI

With the government having set regulations that any company with a licence must meet deadline for commercial launch of services, number of startup telecom operators are finding it difficult to begin operations.
There are at least six new telecom operators, who bagged licences in January 2008, but missed several deadlines for launching commercial services.
Analysts say with these operators facing penalties for not rolling out the services, they could either sell their spectrum to already established operators or look for mergers with them. According to reports, the government is also looking at ways for these startup operators to make an exit from the sector in the backdrop of their expressing inability to begin operations.
The move comes in the wake of some of the new entrants, including Swan Telecom, approaching DoT for surrendering their licences and spectrum.
The official, who is in the know of development, said the matter would be taken up by the Telecom Commission.
The commission may soon decide to allow new operators to surrender 2G spectrum and avail of refund of the money they paid in January 2008.
Incidentally, the DoT has powers to cancel licences of companies in the circles where they have not launched services even a year after getting the licence.
The reports also said the DoT was examining proposals that will allow many of these new entrants to sell out or exit, paving the way for a possible consolidation in the 14-player market.
The analysts point out that with possible heavy penalties looming on these operators and the government willing, there could be a spate of mergers or acquisitions.
The government may consider allowing new companies to merge with larger operators, shortening the three-year lock-in period during which the promoter of a new company is barred from selling out.
"It has been decided to cap the exports of cotton at 55 lakh bales in 2010-11 (October-September) season... that means no exports would be permitted beyond the ceiling," the official said, adding that shipments would be permitted from October 1. One bale of the natural fibre is equal to 170 kg. Cotton exports last year stood at 83 lakh bales.
The decision to permit unrestricted exports of 55 lakh bales was taken at a meeting between Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar, Agriculture Secretary P K Basu and Textiles Secretary Rita Menon here on September 1, he said.
Cotton production in 2010-11 is projected at a record 330 lakh bales, he said. Last season, the production was 295 lakh bales. In the wake of increased exports and rising prices, the Centre during April-May this year had imposed export restrictions on cotton, including an export duty of Rs 2,500 per tonne and suspension of the registration of new export contracts, besides restrictions on shipments under the licence regime.
However, while most of the curbs have been lifted, exporters still have to register their overseas contracts with the Textiles Commissioner. The registration process is scheduled to start from September 15, the official said. The Textiles Commissioner will not register any contract after 55 lakh bales have been exported, he said. Cotton cannot be exported without registration. — PTI
In addition, trading in these shares will have to be settled between buyer and seller without a clearing house for the first 10 days, SEBI said.
This means that intra-day trading cannot happen in these shares for the first 10 days.
SEBI said in case of a merger, demerger, amalgamation, capital reduction/ consolidation, "The trading shall take place in Trade-for-Trade segment for first 10 trading days with applicable price band while keeping the price band open on the first day of trading." Trade-for-Trade Settlement means that transactions will be settled between buyers and sellers without a clearing house. In this kind of settlement, intra-day trading is not possible, since one has to take or deliver securities for every trade.
Explaining the provisions, SMC Capitals Limited Equity Head Jagannadham Thunuguntla said the price range in trading of a concerned scrip on the first day of listing post-merger, demerger or capital changes will be taken as the band for trading over the next 10 days.
SEBI said the circular will not apply to "original scrips, on which derivatives products are available, or included in indices on which derivatives products are available." Explaining this provision, Thunuguntla said trading in only fresh shares, that will emerge after the merger, demerger or capital restructuring, will have to follow these rules in case the scrips are eligible for futures trade and options.
Scrips that are only traded in the cash segment will have to follow these rules, he said.
The market watchdog also directed that trading in scrips of all companies where at least half of the non-promoter holding is not in a digital form will have to be in the trade-for-trade segment.
SEBI said the move is aimed at "moderating sharp and destabilising price movements in shares of companies to encourage better price discovery and to increase transparency in the securities market." — PTI
According to sources, the BCPL, which is being constructed at Lepetkata in Dibrugarh district, has informed the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Government of India, that the subsidy would be increased to nearly Rs 3,680 crore if the price of natural gas is not lowered. The construction of the project was inaugurated by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh way back in April, 2007.
Earlier, only Rs 910 crore was earmarked as feedstock subsidy to the PSUs for the first 15 years of operation of the project. BCPL has already entered into gas supply agreement with the OIL and ONGC at the price of Rs 1,920 crore per thousand standard cubic meter (SCM).
The Centre's decision to raise the price of natural gas is bound to increase power tariff in North-Eastern states mostly dependent on gas-based thermal power plants. It will also adversely affect some ongoing mega projects.
The price of gas has been increased from Rs 2,112 to Rs 5,152 per thousand cubic meter. About 48% of total power generated in the N-E is from gas-based thermal projects. The state-owned North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (Neepco) has already hiked the price of power generated by it.
A delegation of power ministers from the Northeast has already made a representation to the Union Ministers of Power and Petroleum and Natural Gas, demanding a rollback of increase in price of natural gas through a "special package" to the region. "Increase in the price of natural gas would also have a negative impact on industries and some mega projects that are coming up in the backward region. Corporate houses often show reluctance to invest in the region for the not very comfortable security scenario in spite of generous concessions granted in the North East Industrial Policy.
As per the data available with SEBI, FIIs purchased shares worth Rs 62,187.50 crore, while they offloaded equities worth Rs 50,500.40 crore during August, resulting in a net investment of Rs 11,687.50 crore. With the August inflow, the total investment made by FIIs in the local stocks now stands at Rs 60,447 crore ($13.1 billion) so far this year. — PTI

July 2015 -- Ever since their five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 at the tender age of 19 months, Paola and Piero Ludovico Gandini have been engrossed in the search for a cure. Residents of Bovezzo, a city in northern Italy, the couple scoured the Internet to determine what research facilities were leading the international effort. Their digital quest led them to the Diabetes Research Institute, but it was the dedicated Italian investigator at the helm of the organization that particularly intrigued them. Mr. Gandini was immediately interested in speaking with Dr. Camillo Ricordi to better understand the research currently being conducted and to learn how his family could personally get involved in the DRI's mission.
After making a small initial gift through the Institute's website, DRInet.org, Mr. Gandini was surprised to receive a return thank you email, written in his native language, from none other than Dr. Ricordi. The Gandinis were more determined than ever to visit the DRI.
Thirsty for more, they attended New York's fourth annual Research Conference, which, Mrs. Gandini confirmed, solidified their confidence in a cure for the future. Inspired by the Institute's scientific advancements, and coupled with the passion of finding a cure for their daughter, the Gandinis made a gift of $250,000 to the DRI, which they have designated to be put toward the specific area of tolerance induction.

Q: Node "cannot find module" via ssh in Virtualbox I am running Debian stretch minimal in Virtualbox, headless, to test a node application.
I installed a dependency for my node application with sudo npm install -g discord.js. I install it globally because the directory my app is in (a shared directory to a Windows host) does not support symlinks.

Current: JNCC broadens access to satellite data – development of analysis-ready data
JNCC broadens access to satellite data – development of analysis-ready data
Case Study 2019
JNCC broadens access to satellite data – development of analysis-ready data (ARD)
JNCC works extensively on methods and techniques to provide high-quality, cost-effective evidence to support the assessment of habitat extent and condition. One exciting new opportunity with huge potential comes through accessing high-resolution Earth Observation data from the European Space Agency's Copernicus satellites which provide full coverage of the Earth every 5–6 days.
The raw data from the satellites are made freely available, but processing and analysing them requires expert Earth Observation skills and involves significant investment in terms of time and cost. Finding the right data and pre-processing them into a form ready to use can be a lengthy process that represents as much as 70% of a project budget.
Technical innovation led by JNCC has achieved the automated pre-processing of raw data from Satellite-1 and Satellite-2 into standardised products in a range of user-friendly applications at a substantial cost saving. These analysis-ready data (ARD) products make the satellite data much more accessible for organisations in the public sector. They also reduce the duplication of effort and storage, since the data only needs to be processed once and is held in one place, on a cloud platform.
From this work, JNCC has generated UK standards for environmental evidence from satellite data to ensure it is produced consistently. These are feeding into the development of international standardisation and protocols.
Creating analysis-ready data
JNCC's pre-processing of the data from Satellite-1 (radar data) and Satellite-2 (optical data) follows a complex set of steps, including spatially registering the data to ensure correct positioning, and radiometric calibration and normalisation to cleanse the data by stripping out the interference created as the signal travels through the atmosphere (e.g. from cloud or radiation).
Once ready to use, the data is published to Geoserver and made available for view and download through a web application designed for Geospatial data (Geonode), supported by a suite of web services accessible from the desktop.
The high-resolution data provided in this way enables the creation of detailed new maps which users can use flexibly to support environmental decision-making and planning.
Future use
ARD has proved itself to be a very efficient mechanism for enabling a new generation of habitat mapping, which can be deployed anywhere in the world. JNCC has provided ARD products, advice and training in all four countries of the UK, across the UK Overseas Territories, in Chile and also Peru.
JNCC is focusing new work on how ARD can be used for 'big data' analysis to detect changes in habitat condition over time, in the first instance for changes in grassland and peatland.

Government must legislate to stop children being admitted to adult psychiatric facilities - Mark Ward TD
26 January, 2022 - by Mark Ward TD
Sinn Féin spokesperson on Mental Health Mark Ward TD has called on government to legislate to stop children being admitted to adult psychiatric facilities.
The government has refused to use the Mental Health Amendment Bill to close a loophole in legislation that permits children being admitted to adult psychiatric facilities.
Teachta Ward said:
"During the committee meeting on mental health, we undertook pre-legislative scrutiny of the Mental Health Amendment Bill 2021.
"This is an opportunity to change for the better how people with mental health issues are treated.
"The government has left a loophole open that allows children to be admitted to adult psychiatric facilities.
"There is provision in the bill that children would go to appropriate facilities 'insofar as practicable'.
"Plain and simple, this loophole must be closed. No child should be admitted to an adult mental health facility.
"The Bill permits the admission of children to adult inpatient facilities. This is a symptom of a systemic failure on the part of the state.
"Failure to close this loophole is an admission by government that they have failed to properly resource children's mental health services.
"We need to get rid of this draconian practice, which sees some of our most vulnerable children with acute mental health needs admitted to adult psychiatric hospitals.
"It is a very frightening experience for any child to be admitted to a hospital for mental health reasons, but this is exasperated for those children who are placed into adult units.
"There were 27 children admitted to adult facilities last year and while I acknowledge it is down from last the previous year, it is still 27 children too many.
"At the Mental Health Committee, we heard from the children's Ombudsman that children with mental health difficulties are also being admitted to inappropriate paediatric wards.
"He informed us about a case in which a child was in a paediatric unit for three or four months, with no therapy, no education and no interaction with anybody except an occasional visit from somebody who wanted to adjust the medication.
"This is unacceptable.
"I agree with the Ombudsman when he said that the government has become lazy when it comes to this issue, and has let the idea that we do not have the resources in place rule the fact that the best interests of the child are being overrun.

Odorico da Pordenone (ca.1280-1331), born around 1280 in Friuli, is known for the voyage to the Far East he undertook in the years between 1318 and 1330. He had joined the Franciscan Order in Udine as a young man, and circa 1318 set out on an intense period of Catholic missionary work in the East. Franciscan missionaries had already reached Mongolia as early as 1250. Following in the wake of Mongol expansion in China, they had come all the way to Khān Bālīq, the "city of the Khans", today's Beijing.
It was in this context that Odorico began, around 1318, a ten-year sojourn that took him to Khān Bālīq. In contrast to Marco Polo (1254-ca. 1324), Odorico and his fellow monks traveled by sea, departing from Hormuz and crossing the Indian Ocean and China Sea. Disembarking from Canton, they proceeded for Beijing via river and caravan routes. After his return to Padua no later than 1330, in May of that year he was asked by the provincial minister of the Friars Minor to draft an account of his travels.
Dictated to his fellow brother Guglielmo da Solagna (14th cent.), Odorico's travel account was conveyed to the papal curia in Avignon. Widely disseminated in manuscript form in Latin as well as Italian and French vernacular, his Itinerarium was often twinned in manuscript with Marco Polo's Milione. Circa eighty manuscript exemplars exist today; the first printed edition, the edition princeps, was published in 1513. Odorico died in January 1331 at the monastery of San Francesco in Udine.

Throughout the nation, there has been an increasing focus on the importance of looking into appointing a power of attorney (POA) as an essential cornerstone to estate planning. This simply means that the principal (also known as the donor of the power) appoints someone known as the agent, to represent themselves in private and business affairs.
There are many different types of power of attorney that will all be best suited towards different situations for the principal. One of the most popular, however, is known as a durable power of attorney and refers to a POA that will become ineffective should the principle become incapacitated – either through serious injury, illness or death. In some situations, should it be clearly stated, the powers of the POA may continue regardless of incapacitation until the principal's death.
While this is a vitally important document, it is unfortunate to realize that the appointing of a POA does not always go according to plan. In fact, this is unfortunately a platform of exploitation, scam and fraud. The elderly can appoint a POA who only abuses the power – using it as a license to steal. It can become a vehicle of elder abuse and there are many banks who shy away from transactions completed using POA documents – attempting to protect themselves against the possibility of fraud occurring.
This is such a serious issue that the MetLife Mature Market Institute estimated in 2009 that on an annual basis there is a $2.6 billion loss to elders through POA-related fraud. In an effort to counteract this type of fraud and abuse, there are many different pieces of legislation that are being considered to provide safeguards, for example, requiring that the POA provides annual reports to an outside monitor.
Can you trust who you are appointing? This seems simple, but it should be the base of your decision. If you are not close with the person and do not have considerable trust in their ability to handle the decisions, as well as to look out for your best interests, you need to rethink your decision to appoint them as a POA. The best person for the job? A reliable family member who lives in the area.
What types of powers will you grant? Not every POA is going to be the same. It is important that you consider just how much power that you will be grating to your POA and how much that they will be able to do. For example, differentiate between what powers the POA has and what your trustee has if you have established a living trust.
Is the document effective from the moment of signing? You do not necessarily need to have the power of attorney effective from the moment that the ink dries, but it is something that you need to consider. There are two approaches that you can consider – you can either make it effective when you sign or you could make it effective when a certain event occurs, for example, if you should become mentally and/or physically incompetent.
The best piece of advice? Consider it early, work with a reliable attorney and ensure that you follow all state and federal guidelines. While there are dangers that should be thoughtfully considered, appointing a power of attorney can be an essential tool to both you and your entire family.

Quill runout is approximately 0.2mm (should be <=0.02mm, 1thou) ). Runout at the chuck can be anything up to 10x this depending on selected speed and cutting bit. Your holes may be oval!

It's apparently going to be Comixology exclusive so I doubt I'll be able to read it but freaking finally.
Hmm, not bad. Really digging the art.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I wanted to read a depressing DC or Marvel Comic, I would have purchased a depressing DC or Marvel Comic.
I was happy when Archie launched New Crusaders because it was something different. It stood out from the crowd. It was, for lack of a better analogy, the Teen Titans cartoon in a cartoon field flooded with super-serious Batman cartoons. It was fun.
I did not have fun with this issue.
That's not to say that it wasn't well written. It was extremely well written. Heck, following up on Fly-Girl as she deals with her grief over the death of fireball was extremely logical, emotional, and I really felt for her.
Then the talking chimp walked in, and immediately reminded me why this is a problem.
This isn't fun. This isn't different anymore. It's the same identity crises that DC and Marvel were extremely well known for up until very, very recently. And I just can't wrap my head around why, in a field flooded with this very same content, Archie decided to imitate DC and Marvel with their superheroes.
They want to imitate other comics, because other comics make the big money.


The union representing employees at Great Blue Heron Casino is hoping the Ontario government will mandate a complete shutdown of the facility if workers strike or are locked out on Sept. 1, 2011.
Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union president Ken Lewenza wants to prevent the use of replacement workers at the Port Perry, Ont. casino, something he says management has already begun interviewing people for.
The Great Blue Heron Casino has also opposed union attempts to file for conciliation to reach a new collective agreement, according to the union. Lewenza says that an employer fighting conciliation is normally an indication that the company is trying to incite a labour dispute.
"This facility is not strictly a business that donates to charity, it's also a profit-making entity," says Lewenza, claiming the bargaining committee has tabled proposals within the employer's ability to pay. "Our members have been instrumental in the success of this workplace and that must be reflected in the next collective agreement."
CAW Local 1090 represents more than 790 full-time and part-time workers at the casino and has been in negotiations for more than a month.
Casino management has not commented.


I mentioned the other night on my "Dose of exercise" post that I had a walk with my husband at Marland Heights when we visited my FIL the other night. We left the kids at Dad for a while and we went for a walk.
Now that I am blogging, it motivates me more to go for a walk all the time just to shoot for things that are pleasing to the eyes plus you burn calories you know (wink)..
Just look at the combination of that white and pink flowering tree, isn't that gorgeous?
Hubby and I saw this white trellis (is that what you call it? am not sure) and we thought of taking our shadows in it, do you see it?
Hubby and I find this swing extra unique, don't you?
Walking is not only a stress reliever but also helps in burning those extra pounds in those unwanted areas in our body so get up, grab your camera, go for a walk and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Avoiding Mirrors in Through Fire & Sea
May 14, 2016 ~ Kirstie Ellen
Through Fire & Sea by Nicole Luiken
Author: Nicole Luiken
Pages: 354 {ebook}
Original review on Goodreads
Initial Thoughts on Finishing
This was a really promising start to what I hope will be an epic adventure. I'm definitely going to continue the series with book two because I just need to know what's going to happen!
This was a very interesting book with some cool concepts and an awful lot going on. The idea of the book definitely drew me in, but I feel that the book lost some of its momentum towards the end which knocked off a few stars for me. It's an exciting adventure and a weird blend of fantasy and contemporary young adult – for the most part I really think it works, and I'm excited to continue the series because I have a feeling that things are going to improve as the ideas solidify a bit more.
Fire and Sea, You Say?
This book follows two main character, Leah and Holly. In this universe there are several 'worlds'. Leah lives in the Fire world and Holly lives in Water. Fire is very fantastical, there is a dragon threatening the life of the kingdom, horrible kings, and a distinctly medieval feel. Water is pretty much our world, which I thought was an interesting choice (but more of that later). Most people are either unaware of the existence of these other worlds and do not have access to them. But here's the theory:
There are 5 worlds altogether, Fire, Water, Wind, Stone, and the True world.
It's possible for people to have 'otherselves' in these other worlds, but you might have none, you might have all five, or you might be the only one.
Travel between the worlds is forbidden (but doable via special mirrors).
Leah is the illegitimate daughter of one of the kings in the fire world. A woman who is effectively a master Caller (someone who has otherselves an access to them) is taking the daughters of the kings to teach them this art. Of course, she has malevolent intentions as 'for the protection of the kingdom' is most definitely not her motivation for doing so. Now, Leah's half-sister (the legitimate daughter of the king) doesn't get taken because the king is greedy and sends Leah under her sister's name to take her place. But as it turns out Leah is a very gifted Caller and gets sucked in to a nefarious plot. Which actually annoyed me a bit, like, Leah honey, YOU'RE DOING THE WRONG THING. Use your silly little brain. Gah.
Holly is a teenage girl living in the water world. She's quite ordinary, studying at school and getting by. But thanks to the activities in the fire world she falls overboard a boat one day and is saved by a merman. Yup. This sends her life off in a spiral as she fights against the Fire people who constantly call her to look into a mirror. Why is she fighting this? Because once she looks into a mirror her otherself (Leah) can take over her body.
It's somewhat complicated and takes a while to set all this up but I did very much so enjoy the concept of the book and thought it had a pretty good storyline going for it. However.
The Water World
From what we know, the Water world is basically identical to our world. Yet every other world is fantastical and very different. I was a little disappointed with this because I would have thought that Water would be an underwater world or something really cool like that. It does make the story stick out a little from everything else that's going on which was a little frustrating. On top of this, everyone is pretty clued up about things in Fire as to there being otherworlds (if you're told, anyway) and we know that the True world knows about everything. So why is it that Water has absolutely no idea? Why go to so much effort to create four other magical worlds and then throw in our one? It seems strange to have this out of sync world in the mix and I think sticking to pure fantasy could have been a great benefit for this book. Perhaps it's to toy with the idea that our world is not the only world. Either way for me this seemed . . . odd.
Multiple Perspectives
I wasn't the biggest fan of how this was split between the two stories. I felt like either of the narrators could have told the story or had their own entire story within one book. It felt a lot like two books accidentally bumped into each other, got their hair tangled together, and just went with it. Which is cool and not as painful as it sounds, but I didn't quite work. It starts off really strong but I feel like everything gets bogged down with when to switch back and forth and we sort of forget why it's so important. Also the coming together of the two worlds didn't feel like as big of a thing as I'd hoped it would. It was sort of like, yeah, that happened.
I think it would've been better to stick to Leah's perspective and let her tell the whole story. And to add to that, I think it would've been really cool if the people from all the different worlds were educated about each other and weren't so like, what's a bowl? How do I turn on a tap? It should've gone one way or the other: either no-one has any idea about there being other worlds and it's like OH JIMMINY CRICKET, LOOK THROUGH THIS MIRROR EUSTACE. Or like, ooomf, looks like Fire and Water are at odds again. I think the problems I had with this book was that it was too long, there were too many chefs and not enough cooks, and it felt a little like a jigsaw piece that didn't fit but was smushed together anyway.
And Then There Was a Dragon
So hi, I'm Kirstie and if you don't know I love dragons. Okay? Okay. THERE WAS A DRAGON. Albeit not for very long. But there was a dragon and that made me happy. This fantasy element of bringing in a fire-breathing dragon of ROAR into the book made me very excited and I loved it. Every book should spontaneously throw a dragon in it – even if it's like a toy, or a dream. Dragons make everything all right.
That being said, I think it would have been amazing to see even more of the dragon wreaking havoc on Fire. And this is where I think having so many things happening in the one book detracted from its overall WOW factor. There was not enough action for the length of this book and spicing things up with more dragon activity, more adventures into volcanoes, a discovery of an underwater kingdom where a king called Triton rules the-…okay. I like The Littlemaid, alright? But d'you see my point? Too much umming and errring and drama productions and not enough smashing of buildings with fire and brimstone.
Well. Relationships were interesting in this book. Of course, there is a love interest for both of our ladies and they're quite . . . nice. But (because you knew there was going to be a but) the weight of the relationship between Holly and her man stole the story and flipped the Fire world almost out of the picture for a good long while. A lot of things in this book could've done with a handy shove push to get things rolling nicely.
Holly and Mr. Merman
This relationship really reminded me of a slightly less flustery version of the one in Of Poseidon. And it just took forever. He saves her when she initially falls overboard and she's not supposed to remember him but she does and he's all like, what do you mean? And then 998768 pages later we can start calling it a relationship. Eurgh. There was a lot of potential for this one and I think things definitely did get better towards the end but there was too much not happening for too long.
Leah and Mr. Is This Going to be a Thing?
I'm not going to say too much about this one because I'll start spoiling things for you, but I thought this was great but that there was not enough of it. I was shocked by some of the events that happened involving these two but I would've loved to seen their relationship really develop into something that lasted. Luiken, you ruin my soul!! I loved how they met, I loved that Leah hid her identity, and I loved that they made a great couple. If we'd've had less of the other two and more of these two I think it could've been reasonably (definitely) spectacular.
Why 3.5?
I considered this long and hard. Aside from being a reasonably positive reviewer most of the time, I think that this genuinely deserves that extra half a star. It was tempting to give it a flat three but at the end of the day I found myself really enjoying the story, I came to really care for the characters, and I loved how unique all the ideas were in this book. I won't hesitate to pick up another of Luiken's books in the future.
Anyway. Enough rambling. I did really enjoy this book but I would say that it's a bit of a rocky start to the series. There were quite a few things that I flagged up but I always wanted to keep reading and find out what would happen to the characters. I would recommend giving this a go if you enjoy fantasy and are looking for something new. I'm definitely going to read book two because I have high hopes that things are just going to get better – I feel like the book and story really started coming into itself towards the end of this book. And let's not bring up how much I love the cover, *drools*. Let's hope I enjoy book two!
If you like parallel worlds or universes, A Thousand Pieces of You is for you.
If you like like sirens and mermaids, Of Poseidon is for you.
If you like magicians who can summon things from other worlds, The Novice is for you.

Acest proiect trateaza Sicomed - History and Development.
WHO and HOW MADE IT POSSIBLE?
In order to get where Sicomed has got one has to be very talented, very intelligent an also very patient. The company is conducted by 8 wonderful persons.
They all together helped Sicomed develop and become one one of the leaders of the pharmaceutical market in Romania. Their main goal is to improve the quality of life and is representing the core concept underlying the progress of modern society.
This year at the Civil Society Gala ( an event aimed at recognizing the most important corporate social responsibility projects ), Mr. Glaas Postema , the CEO of Sicomed, received two trophies, one for the best healthcare project and the other for the best initiative targeting disadvantaged categories. He declared the following : "I believe that when you operate in the pharmaceutical industry you can best understand the meaning of social responsibility. When you are responsible for the health of the community, social involvement becomes a daily task. Being with the people with whom we share the same goal – increasing the quality of Romanians' life – is for Sicomed a new opportunity to confirm its commitment to society".
Here, at Sicomed, people have come to the understanding that it is only by providing quality products and services that we can be competitive in a highly competitive environment like the pharmaceutical industry.
The maintenance of the Quality standard is the company's major objectives and long-term commitments. The top management supports the implementation and maintenance of the selected quality systems that are already in place, which will enable them to permanently improve processes and streamline the quality management system.
1.Dry conditioning, which is specialized in the production of tablets 2.Wet conditioning, which is specialized in the production of vials, GMP certified beginning with 2003.
The product portfolio includes 120 products for human usage presented in 300 pharmaceutical forms, covering the main forms of tablets and vials presentations and also covering almost all the therapeutically sections.
Taking into consideration the company's strategy of extending its sales through export, besides the 56 products already licensed in 12 countries, there are 20 more products in the process of licensing in 15 countries.
Sicomed is producing a wide range of pharmaceutical products divided into two main categories: therapeutically products and nutritional supplements.
Therapeutically products are conceived to come in the help of the human organism. They are made for the alimentary tract and metabolism, for the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system, muscular-skeletal system, for the blood and blood forming organs, for the genito-urinary system and for the hormonal system. There are also various products anti-infective for systemic use and also anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic products.

Singer says he had been wishing for a house like this for a long time.
Rockstar Ali Zafar — who is soaring high with his latest stint at Coke Studio 8 — has gifted a four-bedroom villa in Lahore to his wife Ayesha Fazli.
"It's been under construction for over three years. We've just moved in a few months back," he said.
"Ayesha was really touched by the gift and has done the interiors herself with a little bit of help from me. We've kept the decor modern, classy and minimal," he added.
What beautiful weather ! Old songs, rain, water and some plants. Life is a miracle.
As music runs in his blood, Ali shared that the couple has installed music systems that play all the time. "We have installed music systems which will play all the time," he said. The basement has also been converted into a recording studio.
Upstairs lounge. Come let's jam.
Sharing further details about his house that spreads over 15,000 square feet, Ali revealed that he has always dreamed about it. "I come from a modest background. My parents were professors and we used to live with my grandparents in a small room. So, like everyone else, I have been wishing for a house like this for a long time and been working hard towards it," he said.
That's an extremely negative thing to say about someone that is filled with jealously. I think other than Nawaz Sharif no one is pure in your view.
Why are you so jealous of a celebrity?. Surely this shows you suffer from an inferiority complex. How about saying something about lavish lifestyles of your favorite PML-N politicians..
So much for a baby girl?
As for bringing politicians into it I know we cant explain who pays for Dharna's, there is no audit on expenses of private jets and helicopters or even if charity money for cancer hospitals goes into fictitious Omani real estate projects of 'friends' we don't hold out politicians accountable.
Nor do we hold them accountable for lying. Whether on Fake Punctures or on the electricity problems that will miraculously go away in 'our' tenure to illegitimate children abroad. This is Our Failure as a Nation!
Anyway, we Indians're happy for you Ali. You guys make a lovely couple too. You are a nice human being and always welcome to India. May your tribe increase.
15,000 square feet means roughly 55 marlas means roughly 3 kanals.
Not THAT Big compared to many politicians/judges/bureaucrats/army generals luxurious homes.
And that too, from legally hard-earned money. Great going Ali.

Preparing for nappy time again!
There are so many choices you can make when it comes to looking after a new baby, and it's very easy to become overwhelmed by them all. Everywhere you turn there is conflicting advice or suggestions from well meaning friends and family, or parenting books, midwives and the media. Bottle or breast, cot or co-sleep, spoon fed or baby led weaning and 'real or disposable nappies' to name just a few.
When I was pregnant with Leo using cloth nappies never entered my head as an option, I did consider it but dismissed it almost as quickly. The cost of buying them was an initial minus point for me although I didn't really give a thought to how much I'd have to spend over the next couple of years on disposables at that point!
This time round I started looking into the possibility of using cloth, I've read several interesting blog posts on them with positive reviews and another good friend of mine used cloth 99% of the time and was very happy with them. I realise now that although there is an initial outlay to start off, that it still works out cheaper in the end - especially here in Cyprus where the cost of disposable nappies is appalling and you never see the money saving offers or coupons that you do in the UK.
All we need now is a baby to put them on! I'll let you know how we get on.
I am hoping that we will use cloth nappies too although M is dead set against it. For me, although the cost is part of it, it is mostly to do with the fact that nappies have to go to landfill and for an average baby it is something like 2,500 per year. We recycled everything at home but there is no such facility here so it makes me think twice about disposable nappies. Will you do a post on them when you have used them for a bit as I am dying to see how you get on with them?? Also, are you going to do what is in your hospital bag??

Self-driving police patrol to hit Dubai
Updated 30th June 2017
Written by By Tom Page, CNN
Self-driving police vehicles are set to hit Dubai -- but don't expect to catch a ride in one. This autonomous police car is tiny.
Continuing a Smart Dubai initiative, which saw Dubai Police introduce a humanoid robot officer last month, the force has signed an agreement with Singaporean company OTSAW Digital to introduce so-called "autonomous outdoor security robot" O-R3 by the end of 2017.
OTSAW touts the O-R3 as the world's first ground-aerial outdoor security robot.
The inevitable rise of the robocops
Functionally, the ground robot is not unlike units manufactured by Californian company Knightscope or the E-Patrol Robot Sheriff in China.
With a wheel base less than four by two feet, the sensor-heavy O-R3 is fitted with 360 degree HD cameras, thermal imaging, a laser scanner and Lidar (light detecting and ranging), utilizing SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology to navigate its surroundings, identifying objects up to 330 feet away.
Brigadier Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi of Dubai Police confirmed to CNN that the O-R3's surveillance tools will be used to identify faces, wanted vehicles and unattended objects. The robot will alert police officers in central command, with data also available via mobile apps.

At 275 lbs and with a top speed of 9.3 mph, the O-R3 ground vehicle can't chase down criminals. However it does have an ace in the hole. Or rather, in the trunk. The robot's deployable drone can reach 27.9 mph to track suspects -- and not even Usain Bolt can outrun that.
Driverless flying taxi service set to launch in Dubai
Other features according to OTSAW's website include perimeter breach detection and monitoring environmental factors including CO2 levels.
"It will be part of our smart police IoT ('Internet of Things') systems all integrated (with) each other," Brigadier Alrazooqi adds, saying that the force will start with one unit "and will increase the numbers after we ... take all the feedback from the police units."
Manufacturer OTSAW told CNN that Dubai Police have agreed in principal to acquire up to 100 units by 2020, leased at a cost of $10,000 per unit per month. OTSAW adds that it is currently in talks with "multiple government agencies from different countries" regarding the model.
The O-R3 is a pricey move and part of Dubai Police's drive towards making 25% of its force a robot by the year 2030.
It's official: Dubai has world's fastest police car -- and it can go 253 mph
For those disappointed by the scale of the O-R3, Dubai Police is still thinking big.
"We're planning later on to have robot (officers) in driverless cars," said the brigadier in a previous interview with CNN in April, adding that the police want to work with Tesla and other undisclosed companies.
So if your fantasy is to be pushed into the back of a sci-fi police car a-la "Logan's Run," "Timecop" and "Demolition Man," Dubai might one day be the place.
In the meantime, citizens and visitors will have to make do with the chirpy O-R3.
