GenZe 2.0 e-scooter adds high-tech features to city and suburban transportWith an electric drive, LED lights all around, and a touchpad instrument cluster, the GenZe 2.0 electric scooter makes for low-speed next-generation transportation.
If you're looking for a way to get around your city or your suburb, and have a lot of fun doing it, this is the Ginzi 2.0 electric scooter by Mahendra. This is really my first time on the thing this morning, and it's just really simple to get a handle on. It's got a twist throttle, just like a motorcycle. A Venus electric power, the acceleration rolls on really smoothly. There's no gear changes, no torque bumps. It's very easy to modulate and control. [MUSIC] Russell Faulkner's the Operations Manager for Genze. This is how we turn on our bike here. You turn on the power button. Hit the start button, hold it for three seconds. Enter your security code. Shows you your battery charge, how many miles you have left in it. LED lights on the front of the bike and the back of the bike. Front light on it, it stays on at all times. Reverse button on here to help you back up. Horn. [NOISE] The only fluid on the bike is in the disk brake. There's a kickstand down here. The front tires are 16 inch, back tires 12 inch. Gives you more stability at slow speeds, makes the bike want to stand up Straight aluminum frame, all one piece welded, powder coated, cargo bay in the back, dry box under the seat here. The motor is an integrated hub motor, no chains, no belts, its all integrated into one hub. [SOUND] Ride quality is really nice and comfortable too. That's cause we've got the full suspension and these pretty. Nice sized tires on this thing. Starting from a stop, I can pretty quickly put my feet on a central platform here. I have three drive modes which I can choose from the touch panel here. There's safe mode, econ, and sport. Safe mode is just for first time riders, it's really easy to get started, very little throttle required. Sport mode gives you full torque. And that's, once you're more experienced, you can ride it like that. The GenZe 2.0 Electric Scooter goes on sale, later this year, for a price of $3,000. That's actually really low. I'm Wayne Cunningham for CNET.

I'd post pictures of beautiful autumn leaves and our last few outings. But...Someone who will be named-Jesse- messed with my iphoto program and is now inoperable. And I'm not really, how do you say, competent in any other program. Oh right, and aforementioned Jesse also turned on Raw feature on camera, so pictures are in too large format for lay folks such as myself.
But as I love him and have committed myself to our partnership, I've forgiven him. Though he is to never do anything on my computer again. I just wanted my huge readership to know why I've not posted in a bit.

Bienvenue France!
Our apartment is nice, 2 bedrooms, an office, bathroom, simple but decent kitchen, and living room. It's on the fourth floor of a tower, so we often get to meet people in the elevator. So far, they've all spoken French only. Either they don't know, or won't speak English. Since our French vocabulary is pretty much limited to "hello, thank you, goodbye, good night, I don't know, and I don't speak French," it's made for some fun interactions over three days, especially since we try not to say the last one. We've done our best to blend in with our dress and actions, and have apparently done a good job because people have no problem coming up to us and rocking off a list of thoughts and questions in French. We listen intently, and then choose carefully our response: "merci" (thank you) or "ah". Sometimes "au revoir!"
Today was our first day of French class. No big surprise, I managed to learn French words for both 'fart' and 'butt' on the same day. Who knew they'd correspond with letters of the alphabet when simply arranged? Also, today was the fateful day of receiving my French name. Not like in high school foreign language when we could choose a name, but like in real life when they hear my American name and then pronounce it in French... that's right, I'm Michelle now. Actually spelled Michel. I tried to protest, and may still try to find a loophole in which to get an alternate pronunciation, but for now it seems to have stuck. Michel I shall be.
We're told tomorrow the sales start. Weirdest thing, in France shops simply aren't allowed to have sales except twice a year. So tomorrow is sort of like the American Black Friday, except that it's the ONLY time (plus once in the summer) that ANYTHING in the country is on sale. Great, we just arrived, and now everyone says we need to go buy all of our supplies/furniture/electronics tomorrow!
Thanks for your prayers. The transition has been better than we expected. We're pretty well adjusted to the time, the people, the weather, and our new home. It's our first time to ever live in an apartment, and to be one that looks out over a city of over 2 million, we thought it would be a major life shift, but to our surprise, it feels like home.
We'll be back soon with more early observations of our new culture. Au revoir!
6 comments:
Michel, you also know how to say "uhn-huh-huh." Remember as I told you, that expression is essentially as good as currency in France. They all say it. All the time. Don't be afraid to use it.

Thought of the day

Thursday of the Second week of Easter
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life"
Saint Irenaeus of Lyons (c.130-c.208), Bishop, theologian and martyr
Against the heresies, IV, 37
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life"
God made man a free agent... to obey the behests of God voluntarily, and not by God's compulsion. For there is no coercion with God, but a good will towards us that is present with him continually. In man, as well as in angels, he has placed the power of choice... And not merely in works, but also in faith, God has preserved the will of man free and under his own control, saying: "According to your faith be it done unto you" (Mt 9,29). Thus he shows that there is a faith specially belonging to man, since since it arises out of his personal decision. And again: "All things are possible to him that believes" (Mk 9,23), and, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so be it done unto you" (Mt 8,13). Now all such expressions demonstrate that man is in his own power with respect to faith. And for this reason: "He that believes in Him has eternal life while he who believes not the Son has not eternal life" (Jn 3,36)...
But he should not, people say, have created angels of such a nature that they were capable of transgression, nor men who immediately proved ungrateful towards him; for they were made rational beings, endowed with the power of examining and judging, and were not formed as irrational things or of a merely animal nature... But upon this supposition, the good would have no attraction for them, nor communion with God be precious. What is good would not be very much be sought after since it would present itself without their own proper endeavor... The good would be implanted in them of its own accord and without their concern... If men were good by nature rather than by will, they would not understand this fact, that good is a comely thing, nor would they take pleasure in it. For how can those who are ignorant of good enjoy it? Or what credit is it to those who have not aimed at it? And what crown is it to those who have not followed in pursuit of it?... The harder we strive, so much the more valuable it is; while so much the more valuable it is, so much the more we will esteem it.

Remote and mysterious. Rugged and dramatic still yet so beautiful. Its like being in an episode of Game of Thrones. The Faroe Islands has a magnetic attraction for landscape photographers, and for a good reason. Battered by the elements, towering cliffs rise from the deep sea. Huge waves are constantly pounding the shoreline, creating amazing formations. Isolated in the Atlantic Ocean, halfway between Norway and Iceland, National Geographic named the Faroe Islands the most authentic and unspoiled group of islands in the world. This comes as no surprise to us. Dynamic, constantly changing light and weather makes these islands magical for photography. We can experience 4 seasons in an hour. One moment it might be raining, the next we have warm sunshine on our faces. Turn around and it might be snowing or hailing. Its fascinating and beautiful.
In early may the fantastic and colorful puffins return to their homes again. They are a true joy to photograph at the impressive cliffs in the Faroes.
Email us for a detailed PDF presentation.
With regards to an itinerary, we do not have a fixed itinerary/tour program on our tours and workshops. The Faroe Islands is extremely unpredictable because of it's many local weather systems. This means conditions can change within minutes and kilometres. Thats why we always are working through a very flexible schedule, but locations such as Gjógv, Gásadalur, Sørvágsvatn, Saksun, Tjørnuvík, Funningur, Nordradalur and Sornfelli plus many more are on our list. It's a full on photography tour/workshop – so the activities are planned around sunrise, sunset and night photography excursions. The whole archipelago is packed with locations, so the weather and light conditions will decide where we will go.
What level of photography is required ?
All of ours tours, workshops and masterclasses are open to beginners as well as professionals. Our only criteria is that you have a great passion for photography, and have the energy and motivation to be on the go every day and night.
What should I bring ?
Since we are exploring the high arctic , you have to be well equipped for all kinds of dramatic weather including rainfall. Bring comfortable, warm and waterproof outer layers such as Gore-tex, thermal underwear and water resistant boots. A complete list of recommended clothes as well as camera gear will be provided upon registration. We don't have clothes or shoes available for renting.
Will I experience snow or ice ?
NO. In early may spring has arrived to the Faroes.
Will I see and photograph the Northern lights?
Mot likely no. The nights are fairly bright, but there is a slight although minimal chance of seeing the lights.
What kind of weather can I expect ?
The weather and climate in the Faroes is renowned for being extremely unpredictable because of it's many local weather systems. This means conditions can change within minutes and kilometres, also resulting in very dramatic light and photographic opportunities. It is one of the most fascinating places on earth for photography!
What camera gear should I bring?
At the very least, bring your own camera, lenses, tripod and a laptop. A detailed list of recommendations will be provided upon registration. If you are considering upgrading or investing in new camear gear prior to the trip, feel free to ask us for advice.

Our guide is written to literally help you focus on what you need to know to make an educated informed smart home building decision and what to look for when searching new homes.
If you have not downloaded the guide do so right now directly above.
In addition to the New Home Steps Planning Guide, HomeBuildingSmart.com also provides detailed local guides around the United States and Canada are devoted to educating you on what's going on in respective markets including listing new home builders, new communities, home building associations, real estate professionals, and neighborhoods. We strive to deliver home buyers information they need to become educated when building a home or buying or the home building process.
We also have hundreds of home building articles dedicated to providing you with detailed information related to particular aspect of buying or building a new home. Here are a couple example articles:
If you are wondering how to create a simpler more economical new home plan, or at least select one, you are not alone. Many people today are realizing that the excesses related to home building of the last half century are not sustainable. The goal of this article is to show you ways to save hundreds of thousands of dollars on costs while getting a better new home.
Durability and energy efficiency worth the extra money but it may actually cost less when home building. Thicker walls mean a more durable new home and also a more energy efficient new home. Thicker walls in home building can be obtained in two ways. One is to use 2"x 6" lumber for wall studs. This creates a far stronger home than the minimum 2"x 4" boards. It costs a little more, but thicker walls packed with innovative new closed cell insulation can produce a highly efficient thermal barrier in your new home. You can save over $100 a month on utilities in your new home.
Smaller new homes are more energy efficient, cost less to build and are easier to maintain. Building a smaller more compact new home which still feels spacious is a matter of design. It's much more economical to build, cool and heat a small home. There are ways to maximize square footage, including great rooms, built in wall unit storage and decorator tips for expanding the view when home building. Avoid L's and keep your home basically square to maximize on the savings when home building.
Save approximately $100,000 or more in interest, on a 15 year mortgage, over a 30 year one. Use a mortgage calculator to experiment with different amounts, and see the savings you can accrue on your new home. 15 year mortgages are amazing, and if you are choosing to build a smaller and more economical new home than you qualify for anyway, choosing a 15 year mortgage really makes sense. Saving money while building a small, energy efficient, durable new home and paying for it in 15 years rather than 30 can save you literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. Being able to save money on your payments leaves you with more money to enjoy life with. Paying off the mortgage sooner gives you more financial freedom and substantial home equity more quickly. Controlling your new home building plans and new home cost now, will give you more control over your life in the future.
Here's the second article:
By looking at a new home construction timelines carefully, you can easily understand how construction costs work and what you are actually paying for, in terms of labor. Time tables vary so much because of the difference in home building sizes and extras. For the purpose of this discussion we are going to define the home first. Our home is a 1200 square foot quality home, built for maximum energy efficiency. We will discuss shell costs versus having a home builder complete the project.
Grading takes few man hours, but a lot of heavy equipment. You are basically renting this equipment and the operators for it, for one to three days in most cases. The cost of grading is usually between $1000 and $2000, for a level lot. A hilly or sloped lot can be considerably more, especially if it requires cut and fill when home building.
While building a foundation can be delayed due to weather and waiting for the concrete footings to dry, the actual time it takes using modern equipment is very short. There are not a lot of man hours involved in pouring a footing, and building a foundation. There is even less time involved in building a form and pouring a slab foundation. A basement may take a bit longer, and require excavation, but if your water table allows for it, a basement is still one of the cheapest ways to get a lot of square footage. You will end up paying around $4000 to $6000 for a slab or crawlspace foundation, for a small new home. This part of the project is usually completed in a month, but actual work time would not add up to more than a 40 hour work week for four guys in most cases.
Even though new home prices and construction costs for finished construction vary quite a bit from one area to another, new home shell prices are amazingly consistent at around $25 per square foot. This means that our shell will cost about $30,000. The shell of a new home usually consists of framing, exterior siding, sheathing, subfloor, windows, doors and roofing. It will take about two months to build the shell for a typical home building project.
Sometimes a shell price includes insulation and drywall, but in other cases it does not. In most cases if you want closed cell insulation it will cost a lot more. With insulated concrete panels your new home automatically comes with insulation and concrete interior walls which may be either dyed to suit your tastes or painted. While the shell building price is more than a stick built new home without insulation and drywall, when you consider the added cost of closed cell insulation, radiant barrier insulation and hanging drywall, the price varies very little. For the purpose of this article we will assume this is a stick built new home and that for $25 per square foot we are getting quality construction but not drywall and insulation. It is important to be sure of exactly what your shell will include, when you are buying just a building shell. Creating a shell can take several weeks or at most two months including weather delays.
It will take about three days to complete our closed cell insulation job. It will cost about $13,000 to insulate the new home with closed cell insulation, compared to fiberglass which would have cost $5000 for the same new home. However, the difference in utility costs due to the difference in R-value is over $1000 a year, and costs are rising. The closed cell will pay for itself in less than 8 years, and so obviously it's worth it to pay the extra money.
So why does it take six months to a year to complete a new home, and why on earth will this new home cost $100,000 to $150,000 to complete. So far we've only totaled up about $51,000. From the outside our new home will look finished at this stage. On the inside it isn't that pretty.
Expect to pay at least $5000 in labor and pipe, for the plumbing done by a licensed plumber through your home builder or contractor. It will be more in California Northern States and Hawaii, perhaps up to $10,000. You could do it yourself for much less if you have substantial experience in plumbing, but it is not be worth the risk if you are not. One leaky pipe can literally destroy your new home. The plumber will work on your job site on several different occasions putting in rough plumbing first, then installing bath fixtures and finally your kitchen sink. This work will be done in conjunction with other labor going on with your new home, but he will probably spend about 100 to 150 man hours on your home building job site.
The cost of a licensed electrician varies a lot in cost from state to state for new homes. Even for basic electrical wiring expect to pay $4 to $8 per square foot in an average economy but around $14 in California, and perhaps Hawaii, and a few inflated Northern Atlantic states as well. For our 1200 square foot new home our price for an electrician would be about $5000 to $10,000 with a maximum cost of nearly $17,000 in California. These costs absolutely cannot be avoided, nor is it sensible to just find someone cheaper. Improper wiring is a leading cause of fire, and can put your new home and your family at risk. It's better to choose a highly recommended electrician with a long, local reputation for quality. State law requires that he be licensed, and your home builder or general contractor may select the electrician, but it still pays to check out the individual electrician's reputation since his job is so important and expensive. The electrician will be at your new home at various times and his schedule will be similar to the plumbers. Expect your plumber to be at the job site for about 150 hours.
Our home building cost so far has suddenly diverged. Southern Atlantic price is $61,000 but our California price is $78,000. We are already up to $51 per square foot, and $65,000 for our California new home, but the good news is that our shell home people are now on a totally different track. Their labor costs end here. They will have to do the remainder of the work themselves.
Drywall material for home building is not expensive. The cost of drywall is around $6 per 4 by 8 foot sheet. Even with hardware, tape, putty and other accessories it's still not that much. However it will cost an additional $30 a sheet or more to hang and finish the drywall. It can actually cost twice that in some areas and for elaborate features such as arch ways in most areas. Let's say our new home requires 60 sheets of drywall. That means that our drywall material will cost $360 plus fasteners, so all together it could cost an even $400, but labor is $1,800, making that drywall job cost $2,200. On top of this your home builder or contractor may take up to 30 percent profit margin. It's only fair because he has to oversee this time consuming job. That is another $660 dollars though. So now the drywall will cost you $2,860 for your new home. Just double that price for California. The only alternative is to have the home builder or contractor stop with a shell, and hang the drywall yourself in your new home. You'd only pay $400. It all depends on your contract and the decision should be based on how much your time is worth as well, because drywall is time consuming, and even more so if you are not accustomed to doing it.
Paint, Wallpaper and cabinetry are all the same story when it comes to home building. It costs a little for materials, and a lot for installation. This is not true of carpet. Carpet installation is very reasonable in most cases, but ceramic and Italian tile are very expensive to install. All the paint, wall paper and cabinetry are painstaking to install, and can take a long time. Carpet can be installed in half a day per room, so that's why the labor is not so much.
The interior of your new home is very labor intensive. It is a huge headache for the general contractor or home builder, who must choreograph all these workmen so that they are not in each other's way. Actually the general contractor will make about 30 percent of the cost of your home, but this long period of time, which will be a minimum of four months between shell, and completion, amounts to a lot of hard work and planning. Most contractors do not mind building a shell. It cuts down on their profit, but also on the amount of the work they are doing.
So there you have it. Enjoy the home building guides and good luck in your new home building. For more detailed home building information visit ehomebuilding.com.

There is something about this sleepy beach town between Malacca and Kuala Lumpur that has kept us going back every year for the last three years. Some head there for the beaches, others for the water villas. We're not big on beaches, neither have we splurged on the water villas (yet!).
For us, it's a combination of the beach, food, small town charm and laid back vibe. Luxurious days of doing nothing, planning nothing, and deciding on a whim what we want to do. We spent four nights there this time, slightly shorter than our last trip, but it was enough because we now know exactly where to go for our favourite food, what we want to do and where to go for what we want to buy.
So, why we like it:
1) The sea view
For slightly over SG$100 a night, we got a room with a splendid sea view where we could watch the sun set each evening.
We stayed at Avillion Admiral Cove, (not to be confused with the more up-market Avillion Port Dickson which has water villas). We enjoyed our stay last year and decided to go back there again this time even though it's slightly further from the main town. I loved the brand new rooms when we stayed in the newly renovated vista wing last year. This time we tried the unrenovated view wing because it had a bedroom partition (World Cup for the hubby…). Rooms are bigger but older.
2) Yummy food
Jason, the foodie, has been wanting to return to Partner Food Center since we discovered it on our last trip. We headed there on our first night, thinking we would try other places for the subsequent days, but we ended up going back there every night.
The Yong Tau Fu is a must try. Apart from the usual fare of ladies finger, brinjal, bitter gourd (all my favourite veggies) stuffed with fish paste, they have a bunch of long beans in fish paste as well (it's at the top of the picture). That was Jason's favourite.
The bowl of savoury soup is served with our choice of noodles, topped with minced meat and bean sprouts. The tasty noodles coated in dark sauce and sesame oil could be a meal on its own.
The nasi lemak there is excellent as well, especially the chilli which has chunky sliced onions.
Other food we enjoyed there – ban mian (handmade noodles), popiah, and the mixed vegetable rice stall which had the best braised meat and ladies fingers we've ever eaten. Both my kids are now fans of ladies fingers. 🙂
If Partner Food Centre was our favourite dinner place, Chuan Huat Coffeeshop would be our favourite lunch place.
The reason I declare it a close second to Partner Food Centre – the dried tossed handmade noodles. I order it without the lard – it's just as yummy.
Here's the aunty cutting the dough on the spot.
It is most satisfying to see picky-eater Shannon devour the bowl of noodles like there's no tomorrow.
To escape the sweltering heat, especially when we end up having a late lunch, we also look for anywhere with air-conditioning. No food courts and such there. We tried Kenny Rogers (picture below) located at the newish PD Waterfront this time. There is also a Starbucks, Secret Recipe, and McDonald's.
3) Small town shops
There are no big time malls. So we spend our afternoons driving around Port Dickson looking for small, interesting shops while Shannon naps in the car. Our favourite are the old bookshops and the interesting stationery they have. Jason and I hop out to check it out, while their Papa waits in the car with sleeping Shannon. Then we swop places. There are also household goods stores where we've unearthed some good bargains. Port Dickson was also the place I bought Shannon's birthday party pack stuff last year. Not this year though… Frozen hasn't made it's way there! We also make a mandatory coffee stop for their Papa's mid-afternoon caffeine kick. We drive around various coffeeshops in search of the local thick, fragrant coffee, some even with a slightly chocolatey taste for some reason.
Giant opened an outlet there a couple of years ago, it's probably the biggest supermarket they have. I don't know about the locals but we cheered when we saw it there on one of our recent trips!
4) Evening swims, beach walks
We were at the beach almost every day during last year's trip, and we adults came back with sand fly bites. The kids were fine though. This time, we spent most of our evenings in the hotel pool, and went to the beach just once. We picked shells, found lots of baby crabs, and even wanted to kayak but could not find the guy in charge. Maybe next time!
Pool time!
5) Chillin' good time
TV, more TV. We don't have cable TV at home, so they got their fill of the Disney channel there. They watched movies, cartoons in between the football matches.
It meant that I had plenty of time to read. I should have brought more than one novel. Jason finished several of his Diary of the Wimpy Kid books, while their Papa and I finished one book each. Good days!
Another shot of the sunset before we left Port Dickson for Malacca. And just in time too, we got a whiff of the haze the morning we were due to leave.
Til the next time!

Eighteenth letter of the Hebrew AlephBeth
You are righteous, LORD,
and your laws are right.
Maybe one of the more obvious statements of this poet; he knows that what One is constitutes what one creates. Whether as a parent, as a leader, as a teacher, as a friend, as an artist, as a lawmaker - who you are becomes infused in what you do and make. Thankfully our God always does what is right and good, so he and his words/works are "fully trustworthy."
For me, this has become the central issue for belonging to God: is He and his words/works trustworthy? The poet goes on to note that the LORD and his words/works are everlasting and true. Those two ideas may inspire you, but for me, my soul wants to experience God's loyalty, faithfulness, and trustworthiness. Will he keep his promises? Will he abandon me? Will he live up to what He claims of himself? Can I see enough of his handiwork in this world to sustain the trustworthiness? With the hardships that I have intertwined into my life, can I still believe that God is trustworthy?
For this psalmist, following the instructions of the LORD, keeping the Torah is where trustworthiness is fleshed out; if I do what God requires, will I receive the benefits that He promised? Jesus is the new Torah, and so in Him trustworthiness is truly fleshed out; will we follow the Way of Jesus, do we trust that the Way of Jesus will "give me delight?"
The final benefit remembered by this songwriter is this: "Your statues are always righteous; [they] give me understanding that I may live." Going the Way of God in Jesus will help me see what is right, help me do what is right, and help me rightly understand this world that I am born into, a world created to be good, a world being redeemed from evil.
One of the great pains in my life is the overwhelming sense of misunderstanding I have about how the world works, why it is the way it is, and what is the next right thing to do in light of how messed up everything seems to be. What is the next right step to take, a step of rebellion against what is wrong in this world, and a righteous step that furthers God's reconciling and redemptive work for those that reach out and take His strong and extended hand.
Oh LORD, please give me understanding that I may live; the instruction of Jesus is always righteous and gives me delight.

College Visitation to Small, Rural High Schools. (Perspectives, Data and Trends in "3-A" Kansas High Schools)
McCune, Allen
Current information on Kansas colleges' high school visitation programs was gathered from high school counselors in 64 Kansas "3-A" schools (enrollment from 124 to 188 in grades 10-12) and 50 Kansas college representatives. A 10-item questionnaire was sent to the high school counselors and a 3-item questionnaire to college directors of admissions; responses were received from 47 high schools (73%) and 37 admissions officers (74%). All data is reported up to March 1, 1984. Total average number of college and other visits to the high schools during the 1983-84 academic year was 21, with a high of 27 and a low of 10. Average graduating class size was 45. Percentage of seniors planning to attend a 4-year school ranged from 63% to 15%; percentage planning to attend a 2-year school ranged from 55% to 8%. Percentage of seniors planning to enter the work force directly after graduation ranged from 51% to 6%. Counselors noted trends away from 4-year programs and toward 2-year and short programs, vocational courses, and schools closer to home, and also reported overwhelming approval of the visits by administrators and students. Counselors offered suggestions for improvement of visitation programs, and college admissions officers offered suggestions for counselors. (MH)

Real voices of Mumbai
After demonetisation, the old notes are back with the RBI. Was demonetisation a failure? What is your take?
Aniket Pendse (Media person)
I really don't know much about economics but I think because of this process certain amount of cash is deposited in banks and a certain amount has come into circulation. But standing in a queue is a headache as always. Not demonetisation, but it's management and how the government handled it is a failure.
Anjali Mapari (Conservation student)
Yes, I think demonetisation was a complete failure. Only the common man had to suffer and there was not a single positive outcome from this decision.
Malhar SB (Museology student)
I don't really understand how this benefited people. Our country lost its title of a developing country and we all went into losses. So I think they failed miserably.
Neha Vishwakarma (MA student)
No, I don't think it was a failure. People who had huge amounts of black money actually had no option but to surrender it to the government and those who have still hidden the money, the government is constantly keeping a check on them.
Lukita Pamula (MBA student)
Yes, it was a good decision to some extent. People with stacks of black money had to make their arrangements. But common people had to suffer a lot.
Vivek Dhalpe (Student)
It was a very bad failure. In just the span of a moment, many people lost their hard earned money. Farmers, workers, everyone had to suffer a lot and still there is no positive feedback.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office arrested a Norteno gang member on weapons possession charges Thursday, a sheriff's sergeant said.
Jonathan Garcia-Ceja, 28, of Santa Rosa, caught the attention of a sheriff's deputy on patrol on Moorland Avenue in unincorporated Sonoma County southwest of Santa Rosa on Thursday night when he slowed down and revved his Honda's engine, Sgt. Cecile Focha said.
When the deputy stopped the Honda at Moorland and West Robles avenues, Garcia-Ceja said he revved the engine to announce his presence in the area, Focha said.
The inside of the Honda smelled like marijuana and Garcia-Ceja told the deputy he had a weapon within reach in the back seat, Focha said.
The deputy found marijuana and a screwdriver sharpened to a point inside the Honda and a switchblade knife in Garcia-Ceja's pocket, Focha said.
The deputy also found a backpack containing red clothing and items with Garcia-Ceja's identity, another sharpened screwdriver, a loaded, pistol grip shotgun with a 10-inch barrel and 10 more rounds of ammunition, Focha said.
Garcia-Ceja was arrested on weapons possession charges and his vehicle was towed. He is a known Norteno gang member, and the sheriff's office will ask prosecutors to charge him with being a gang member in possession of a loaded firearm, Focha said.
Sheriff's deputies are conducting proactive street enforcement in the Moorland Avenue area where there have been several shootings in recent weeks and the neighborhood is known for its high gang and narcotics activity, Focha said.

Inside the Game: Pacers 105, Bucks 97 080406
Simply took over the game in the fourth quarter, scoring 15 of his 18 points, all on 3-pointers, and adding three assists, a steal and a charge taken as the Pacers wiped out a 10-point deficit and won going away.
This completed the Pacers' fifth set this season of consecutive games against the same opponent (Detroit, New Jersey twice and the Bucks). That equals the total of home-and-home sets of the previous three seasons.
An opportunity to not only gain ground in the playoff chase but secure the season series awaits Tuesday in Conseco Fieldhouse when the Pacers host the eighth-place Hawks (7 p.m., FSN-Indiana, 1070 The Fan).
Box score
Indiana 105, Milwaukee 97
Diener time arrives in fourth quarter
By Conrad Brunner | April 6, 2008
Down 10 entering the fourth quarter, their normally reliable shooting touch gone, their dwindling playoff hopes fading into the mist, the Pacers were in need of something big. It was provided by the smallest man on the roster.
Travis Diener scored 15 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, adding three assists, a steal and a charge taken, as the Pacers quickly turned the game around and beat Milwaukee 105-97 before 12,107 Sunday in Conseco Fieldhouse to complete a weekend home-and-home sweep of the Bucks.
"He had a terrific fourth quarter, not only offensively but defensively, too," said O'Brien. "He was the spark we needed and we really needed a spark."
It marked the third time this season the Pacers have overcome a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to win.
"I feel really lousy that we're not locked in the playoffs," O'Brien said. "Our resilience and attitude have been great all year. Our guys are clawing. They know they pretty much have to pitch a shutout and they're trying with everything they have."
With their fourth win in five games and eighth in 11, the Pacers (33-44) remained three games behind eighth-place Atlanta (36-41) in the Eastern Conference playoff race, with the teams meeting Tuesday in Conseco Fieldhouse.
"I will be looking forward to (that game), maybe tomorrow," O'Brien said. "Right now, I'm looking forward to enjoying this one."
The Bucks (26-50) lost their seventh in a row in Conseco Fieldhouse.
The Pacers shot miserably in the second and third periods, going 15-of-49 from the field (.306) and 4-of-17 from the arc (.235). They made just one basket in the final 6½ minutes of the third quarter and Milwaukee closed the period on an 11-3 run to take a 77-67 lead into fourth.
That's when Diener time arrived. The reserve point guard hit consecutive corner 3-pointers. Mike Dunleavy, 1-of-6 from the arc to that point, hit two in a row, and then Diener drained one from the top of the arc to complete a stunning 19-1 run that gave the Pacers an 86-78 lead with 7:27 remaining. The Bucks missed their first eight shots of the period.
Milwaukee scored five in a row to close to 96-89 with 3:27 left but Diener fed Jeff Foster for a layup and followed with a pull-up 3-pointer in transition to make it 101-89 and the Bucks were done.
Diener was the most obvious standout, totaling 18 points – all in the final 15 minutes – five rebounds and five assists, but he was not alone. Foster had a strong night with 16 points on 8-of-11 shooting and 15 rebounds. Danny Granger struggled with his long-range shot (1-of-8 from the arc) but drove aggressively and produced 27 points, seven rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks. Dunleavy finished with 17 points, seven assists and five rebounds and Troy Murphy scored 13. Jermaine O'Neal pulled nine rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench. The Pacers shot 13-of-21 (.619) in the fourth quarter, including 7-of-10 from the 3-point line, and held the Bucks to 8-of-22 shooting (.364).
There was little to like through three periods as the Pacers struggled badly with their perimeter shooting and didn't play well enough defensively to compensate The Bucks got solid games from Michael Redd (24 points, seven rebounds) and Charlie Villanueva (22 points, 13 rebounds). Andrew Bogut produced 16 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. Desmond Mason scored 16, Bobby Simmons 11 off the bench and rookie Ramon Sessions had a career-high 10 assists in his first start.
The Bucks played without starting point guard Mo Williams, out with an injury to his pelvis. ... Diener has 45 assists against five turnovers in the last nine games. ... Indiana committed just eight turnovers, three in the second half.
"We knew the shots would start falling. We got good looks the whole game. Travis brought energy and great shooting. He had a terrific fourth quarter, not only offensively but defensively. He was the spark we needed and we know we needed a spark in the fourth quarter. Our guys got to a pretty high level defensively in the fourth quarter. I feel good about our resilience and attitude. Our guys are clawing knowing they pretty much have to pitch a shutout. They're very hungry to get in the playoffs. They're all disappointed we don't have a better record. But I'm proud they've stayed with it."
"At the end of the third quarter when we were down, it was almost and indication that our playoff chances were gone. So it was time as a team that we raised our game and we did. We started getting good looks and we were playing stronger down the stretch. We knew this was a game we had to have. I take it upon myself as a point guard that I should be the one to provide a lift. And when I hit my first shot in the fourth quarter, things really seemed to start falling into place. A big difference in us the last few weeks is that we're making more plays down the stretch. Earlier we weren't but I think now we've really come together as a team."
(On Travis Diener) "He really got us over the hump and hit some big shots for us to earn this victory. But now we have a big game Tuesday that we must win."
"Guys want to take it upon their own shoulders. We lost a lot of our energy due to our shot selection."
(On Travis Diener) "He had 15 of his 18 in the fourth quarter? My goodness. He went nuts. He was hitting threes everywhere, pushing the ball up the court and getting other guys shots. He did a great job. I don't know what their field goal percentage was in the fourth quarter…it had to be 65-70 percent. They did a great job. The majority of it was threes. It was tremendous on their part. Jeff Foster was instrumental to what they did. He works hard and knows his role."
(On Travis Diener) "He definitely got hot. He was knocking down threes all over the place. On our end, we stopped rotating on defense, we were a step slow in the fourth quarter and once we got behind the eight ball, they got a lot of momentum and we couldn't stop them. Diener is a good shooter. He's definitely capable of doing what he did. When you've got guys like him and Mike Dunleavy out there, you can't leave them open because they can heat up quick."

Paris Hilton still trying to prove to the courts she is an innocent angel. She was photographed leaving a church on Mother's Day, now she's carrying a Bible.
She already got her sentence reduce to 23 days for good behavior. Maybe she's trying to completely revoke the sentence for more good behavior, which is basically just not bad behavior.
This is definitely a publicity stunt. No one holds their books spread out like that. It's only so the photogs can get a picture of the titles.

The Duskblade of Draktharr was hotfix nerfed, and more are on the way
League of Legends' newest flavor of the month OP item—the Duskblade of Draktharr—has already been nerfed with an emergency hotfix yesterday, according to the official patch notes.
The item was reworked in last week's patch almost completely. The Nightstalker proc was converted into flat physical damage rather than a weird combination of true damage and lethality, and a micro-slow was added to the proc's application. The cost of the item was also dropped by about 300 gold, and with the item's new passive, it's now super efficient reliable damage.
Since the rework, every AD champion that can build it has been building it as their first item. Assassins, marksmen, some AD tanks even—nothing is sacred. The last time an item completely strangled the meta following a dramatic change was the Blade of the Ruined King a few months ago. Just like the BotRK fiasco, the Duskblade needs nerfs, but rather than wait until next patch, Riot dished out an emergency nerf yesterday instead.
The nerf lowered the item's damage proc at early levels, lowering the priority on it as the first buy for nearly every AD champion under the sun. Overall, though, this isn't a huge nerf, because by the time mid game rolls around, it'll deal about the same damage.
That's not all, though. There is still a nerf planned for the next patch that will lower the max damage it can deal for ranged attackers, which means ADCs will be much less effective on the item. Also, the micro-slow will not be applied if you're ranged as well. The item was intended for assassins that can slip in an out of fights to get the most out of the passive, and that's probably why Riot is shying the item away from ADC builds.
The item is still extremely effective, and for its damage alone, marksmen might still buy it after the next patch's nerfs, but there's no doubt that it will be less powerful.

I like to tell her that I don't believe in working for nothing. We are pretty much going to stop sharing a booth and one of the reasons is because I like to charge appropriate prices for mine and I hate that are pricing doesn't match up.
I do have to say, that why her site looks very nice I don't really think its user friendly... I can't stand when there are no breadcrumbs, but that's just me.
That is a very good business move on your part. Not everyone knows how to do buisness right. A lot of that is knowledge. You have to factor in everything or in the end you will have nothing to show for.

Project X (2012) - GOOD MOVIE
Yeah, sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
Project X is simply about partying and doing it until you're all partied out. It's about being young, being stupid, and most of all, realizing that you don't have a whole lot of time left to be like this. We all grow up, and unfortunately we spend too much of our time focusing on the future and we miss the present. Project X aims to remind our youth of our responsibility to live before we need to actually be responsible. There comes a point where we loose our youth, it is inevitable, but why must it be lost so soon? Every generation deserves its right to let loose, Project X reminds us of this. Definitely worth watching.

The school bus was fun. Early in the morning, it was the one last sanctuary before another long, dreary day at school stuck behind my desk. If I got sleepy, I'd just doze off only to be rudely awakened by the occasional e-brake stop, the momentum smashing my face against the steel back of the seat in front, or the loose side-window would abruptly slam shut against my forehead. At that, I'd blink blearily before drifting back off to sleep until the next e-brake. I think I spent much of my schooling life looking like an abused child, but no one at that time dared to ask about my domestic situation. Parents, kids and teachers knew their roles back then.
En route home, sleep wasn't as much a priority as playing cards with the gang (we played "Top Trumps", not poker), or playing catching over and around the seats, or beating up on the moron kicking the back of my seat 'cos he was bored and looking for a punch-up to pass the time. We had a saint of a bus driver who stoically kept drivin' on while Chaos ruled the rear compartment.
Now, if the seat-belt thing becomes law, all the little kiddies will be strapped into their transport like raw cargo being delivered to the processing plant. I imagine if they can't let off steam physically, mentally they'll be screaming for the loss of yet another outlet of youthful
Yes, I know there's a safety concern, so there's a good reason for safety belts. And I'm not trying to make light of the recent tragedy. But I am glad I'm not a child today.

The pair has been moving lower towards the 1.33 region
The British pound fell during the week, slicing through and uptrend line against the greenback, showing signs of extreme negativity now. I think that the market will ultimately find sellers again, and that we could turn things around to see a complete change in trend.
The British pound fell against the US dollar on the Friday session as we continue to see US dollar strength. I think that the US dollar strength is something that we should continue see over the summer as interest rates rise, and of course the US economy seems to be outperforming most other ones.
Investing.com – The U.S. dollar rose to a sixth-month high as mostly positive U.S. durable goods data suggested the U.S. economy was strong enough to sustain further Fed rate hikes.
The U.S. dollar strengthened against most of its main rivals Friday in New York, as a popular gauge of the currency hit a fresh 2018 high, and as traders digested a week in which the Federal Reserve signaled that it may adopt a more measured approach to hiking interest rates even if inflation runs ahead of its 2% annual target. An escalation of tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, which appeared to ease somewhat early in the session, and trade talks with Washington and Beijing contributed to a week marked by up-and-down trade. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index (IFUS:DX-Y.NYB), which gauges the U.S. unit against a half-dozen currencies, was up 0.5% at 94.197, headed for 0.6% return on the week.
On Friday North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he was still open to talks after the White House said in a statement that it would be "inappropriate" to have a planned summit at this time. Trump and Kim Jong Un were set to meet in Singapore on June 12 to discuss possible denuclearization. Durable goods in the U.S. fell 1.7% in April, compared to expectations of a 1.4% decrease while a separate report showed that the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index was revised down to 98.0 from 98.8.
The greenback was flat on Friday while the pound inched down as investors looked ahead to testimony from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney. Both Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and BOE Governor Mark Carney are expected to participate in a panel discussion of "Financial Stability and Central Bank Transparency" at the "Sveriges Riskbank Conference: 350 Years of Central Banking - The Past, The Present and The Future" in Stockholm, Sweden at 9:15 AM ET (13:15 GMT). The dollar was also held back by Fed meeting notes on Wednesday that suggested that while another interest rate hike is warranted, the central bank would accept inflation rising above its target rate for a while.
The Euro has rallied a bit during the Thursday's session against dollar using 1.17 level as support. The pair moved slightly higher during the yesterday's session reaching towards the 1.34 level. The pair traded on a quiet note and hanged around the 0.7550 level during the yesterday's session.
The GBPUSD pair continues to struggle for strength
The British pound rallied a bit during the day on Thursday, and a rare sight of strength as we have broken down against the US dollar in almost every currency pair that I follow. The market is approaching a major resistance barrier though, so I think we will get a selling opportunity sooner rather than later.
Traders also booked profits on the notion that the recent rally had run its course especially after the release of dovish Fed minutes on Thursday that signaled the central bank would not be as aggressive when raising interest rates in 2018.
Investing.com – The dollar was hit by a fresh wave of selling Thursday, losing ground against its rivals following negative U.S. data showing a slowdown in the U.S. housing and labor market.
The greenback remained lower on Thursday after an unexpected dovish-tone in the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes and news that the White House had called off a planned summit with North Korea. The White House said in a statement that it would be "inappropriate" to have a planned summit at this time. Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un were set to meet in Singapore on June 12 to discuss possible denuclearization.
With the month-long symmetrical triangle restricting the EURGBP moves between 0.8720 & 0.8800, chances of the pair's recent pullback to test 0.8720 support and take a U-turn from there are higher. GBPJPY's break of nine-month old ascending trend-line signals the pair's further downside to the 144.95-145.15 rest-zone but its additional south-run can be confined by oversold RSI, which if ignored can drag the pair to 143.00 support.
Investing.com - Sterling was higher on Thursday after UK retail sales came in higher than expected, boosting confidence in the economy.UK retail sales rose 1.6% in April, compared to expectations for a 0.1% gain, the Office for National Statistics reported. The unexpected increase indicates consumer confidence in the UK economy, despite political uncertainty surrounding Brexit.GBP/USD surged 0.46% to a one-day high of 1.3410 as of 4:43 AM ET (8:43 GMT).The euro was also higher, but was held back by economic and political worries in Europe. ...
The market continued to remain weak and negative during the Wednesday's session breaking below the 1.17 level. By going below this level, the market is more likely to fall towards its next major support level at 1.15 level underneath. Short-term rallies in the market will be an excellent opportunity to sell this market as it offers value in the USD. …Read MoreGBP/USD
The GBPUSD is under pressure from dollar strength and pound weakness
The British pound broke down significantly during the day on Wednesday, slicing below the 1.34 level, and driving much lower as well. I believe that the market does continue to go much lower than that, and I think at this point it's very likely that rallies will invite more selling, as the pair simply cannot find its footing and we have broken down below a major trend line recently.
Investing.com - Here's a preview of the top 3 things that could rock markets tomorrow
Investing.com – The dollar remained at six month highs against its rivals on Wednesday following mostly bullish data pointing to underlying strength in the U.S. economy, while a sharp decline in both the pound and euro supported upside momentum.
The greenback rose to a five month high on Wednesday, as investors look ahead to the latest meeting minutes from the Federal Reserve. Investors will be looking to the Fed meeting minutes at 2:00 PM ET (18:00 GMT) closely for any signs of tightening monetary policy. A recent increase in bond yields, along with positive economic data and rising inflation, has boosted expectations that the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates and tighten monetary policy.
Investing.com - Here are the top five things you need to know in financial markets on Wednesday, May 23:
The dollar was down against the safe haven yen, with USD/JPY falling 0.90% to 109.89.
The dollar climbed against most of its rivals early Wednesday, but lost ground vs. the yen as geopolitical worries spurred buying in Japan's haven currency. Victor Reklaitis is a London-based markets writer for MarketWatch.
The pair continues to remain flat

Another favorite from growing up, I loved it when my Mom would make this quick and easy Chinese Rice dish. Sometimes we eat it as the main dish, and add some egg rolls, potstickers and a fruit for our sides. It's also a great dish to make when you have company, as rice is very inexpensive, and you can adjust the recipe to suit your needs.  We often pair it with the Sweet and Sour Chicken that we posted yesterday.
Serves 6-8 for about $0.50/serving
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
2-3 stalks celery, cut on angle
3-4 green onions, sliced thin – ($0.24)
4-5 scrambled eggs – ($0.40-50)
soy sauce to taste
bacon bits or cooked crumbled bacon – ($0.74)
parsley (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Cook your rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large fry pan, sauté green onion and celery in 1 Tbsp. oil, or in the bacon grease if you are using and cooking bacon, and also cook your scrambled eggs and set aside. When rice and eggs are done cooking, add to the large fry pan, and combine with soy sauce, salt and pepper, bacon and parsley, and heat until warmed through.

The agitation of Independence forced Brussels to grant freedomon June 30, 1960.Two prominent nationalists won : 1. Patrice Lumamba of the leftist Movement national Congolese, became the Prime Minister, 2. Joseph Kasavuba of the ABAKO became the Presient. But within weeks of Independence the Katanga Province, led byMoise Tshombe , seceded from the new republic and another mining province , South Kasai, followed. Moreover Kasavuba and Lumumba were at daggers drawn. As a reult UN was called for as a peace keeping force at the call of Lumumba.Kasavuba staged an army coup and handed over Lumumba to Katanga forces. Lumumba was killed by a Belgian mercinary in the presence of Tshombe. Involvement of US and Belgium was alleged after ivestigation by UN. An unrest took place Between Tshombe an Kasavuba till 1965 when Gen. Joseph Mobuu took the Presient's chair after a coup. He changed the country's name to Zaire and the name of his own to Mobutu Sese Seko, meaneng "all powerful warrior. He defeated the rebels with the help of France and Belgium."
President Mabutu Sese Seko
