Given that machine tools play a vital role in the development of nations, it is necessary for fast industrializing nations as ours to push the barriers limiting machine tool performance by relying on technology driven solutions. This workshop is geared towards introducing those technologies that make possible higher utilization of machine tools.
The workshop will introduce the essential theory to model machining processes, machine tool dynamics and models to characterize process-machine interactions to predict and avoid unstable chatter vibrations. Hands-on experimental testing of machine dynamics, cutting force characterization and chatter detection and avoidance will enable the participants to improve their understanding of this highly technical and non-intuitive field.
Engineering faculty, students, researchers in R&D labs along with personnel working in machine tool/cutting tool developer and user industries are the target audience. Learnings from this workshop will help faculty to motivate students to address challenges faced by the manufacturing enterprise. Learnings will also motivate practical solutions for some industrial problems.Workshop Videos
Miniaturization drive has resulted from the increased needs of the industry to produce devices that occupy very less size and are time and energy efficient. Today we have a bundle of such products in almost all walks of life like aerospace, defence, microelectronics, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, communication systems, machining technologies etc. The advanced micro/ nano technologies offer aplatform for providing hardware in realizing miniaturised products like sensors, actuating devices, optical devices, fluidic devices etc.Further, there are two important components in the platform which serve as enablers to realize thesedevices. The first component is to be able to realize the length scale for elements which would provide the primary mode of functionality for the device and the second aspect lies in the integration and packaging which would allow the successful deployment of such devices in field. The Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur has many such aligned areas of research in its current research mandate to the topic of the proposed workshop where there is a need for specialized training. Through the proposed course spanning around 05 days (including laboratory visits) we plan to enable information flow necessary for sustenance of the existing research ecosystem in this area.Workshop Videos

Structural characterization of materials is a routine yet an important step in preparation of materials. Typically X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope are carried out in most laboratories while sophisticated diffraction techniques such as synchrotron and neutron diffraction employed rather exclusively to investigate the finer details. In addition to providing information about the structure of materials, lab-scale X-ray diffraction can also provide information about preferred orientation of crystallites or texture, types of phases present, as well as determination of the lattice parameter, micro-strain, residual stresses and dislocation density in the bulk samples. In addition, different X-ray techniques can provide a wealth of information for thin films e.g. crystallinity, epitaxiality, layer thickness, orientation relationship between substrate and thin film as well as size, shape and distribution of zero dimensional quantum dots and other nano structures. The present workshop aims to cover the broad area of X-ray diffraction with special emphasis on High Resolution X-ray diffraction encompassing Rocking Curve, Reflectivity, Reciprocal Space Mapping, X-ray Diffraction Line Profile Analysis, crystallographic texture and structure refinement using Rietveld refinement. In addition X-ray scattering techniques such as small angle X-ray scattering will also be covered to provide a complete spectrum of X-ray characterization tools. A brief overview of electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope and more recent electron back scatter diffraction in a scanning electron microscope will be covered for a general audience.
The workshop aims to provide in-depth theoretical knowledge about the principles of the advanced diffraction techniques and provide information about the state of the art equipment available at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Advanced Centre for Materials Science of IIT Kanpur. The workshop will include classroom sessionsfrom eminent experts as well as tutorial sessions and hands-on training on data analysis along with visit to the facilities at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering acquired under the FIST grant. The workshop also aims to attract the faculty members and graduate students in TEQIP affiliated institutes engaged in research in the broad areas of material science with special interest in using high-resolution diffraction as an effective characterization tool.Workshop Videos
The Winter Internship and Visiting Researcher program is a step towards encouraging collaborations of researchers and students. Through this program, TEQIP aims to create opportunities for students and faculty members of QC institutes to learn new ideas and gain new interests in their field. This can also help in laying strong foundation of a very productive academic culture which can be beneficial for all.
We are pleased to announce a TEQIP workshop to discuss Materials and Metallurgy curriculum. This workshop will be held at NIT Srinagar (J&K) during 8-9 October 2015.
In this workshop, we plan to engage with the selected faculty members of selected IITs, NITs, IISc Bangalore and a few other TEQIP affiliated instituted providing undergraduate degrees in Metallurgy or Materials Engineering. Hence, we request you to nominate the one or two faculty members from your institute for the aforementioned workshop.
The need for organizing such a workshop arises from the changing face of Metallurgy and Materials Science all over the world and India is not a isolated case either. To prepare the students for national needs in industry, research as well as academia, the curriculum must evolve in such a fashion that departments are able to engage the students both depth as well breadth wise whilst not sacrificing on the core concepts.
The microstructure of a material determines an important set of properties like hardness, yield strength, ductility and fracture strength. Heat treatments offer an handle to engineer the microstructure and hence tailor the material for a specific set of properties, without changing the bulk composition. The workshop aims at introducing the concept of microstructure starting with basic concepts of crystal structure and phase transformation. Bulk and surface heat treatments will be covered in detail. Characterization of the microstructures obtained will taught using microscopy techniques and hardness tests.
Concurrently with the theory classes, lab sessions will be organized to keep in view the practical aspects of characterization and heat treatment.
Scholars from academia, industry and research organizations are expected to benefit equally from the workshop.
Nowadays, meso (1-10 mm) and micro (1-1000 µm) manufacturing are emerging as an important technology specially in the areas where miniaturization yields economic and technical benefits, m=namely, aerospace, automotive, optical, biomedical and similar other areas. With the advent of numerical control (NC) in machine tools, accuracy, uniformity and manufacturing has gained the flexibility. With time, the miniaturization of the machines and devices is leading to the demand of parts with dimensions of the order of a few micrometers to a few hundred micrometers. Scientists and researchers are engaged in developing even the nano featured products such as NEMS (Namo Electro Mechanical System ). It is quite safe to say that there is need to have the manufacturing processes which are capable of dealing with atomic and molecular dimensions. Hence, such processes come under the category of µ manufacturing.
The demand of industries for µ-manufacturing of various types of materials (mtallic, ceramics and plastics) is increasingly day by day. Miniature parts have applicaionts in various industries like electroincs, medicine, communication, avionics and others. Some of the examples of the products that require µ-manufacturing are micro holes in fiber optics micro nozzles for high temperature jets, micro molds etc. Conventional methods (turning, drilling, etc ) with modified versions have been employed for µ-machining of various types of materials.
In case of advanced machining processes, material is removed at micro level either by mechanical means (USM, AJM, MAF ) thermal erosion (EBM, LBM) anodic dissolution (ECM), chemical reaction or combination of two or more than two processes, called hybrid machining. µ-machining can be placed in the group of precision machining can be placed in the group of precision machining and ultraprecision macnining. µ-macnining can be divided into two categories like bulk µ-machining where comparatively large amount of material is removed when compared with surface µ-machining where the objective is mainly to improve surface finish in the sub-micron range.
The surface roughness values obtained by these processes have been reported as low as the size of an atom or even a fraction of the size of an atom. Now, the natural question arises, how to measure such surface roughness or which equipment should be used to measure such low values of surface roughness ? Atomic force microscope is one of the latest equipment used to measure such a low value of surface roughness.
The basic objective of the present course is to acquaint the participants with the principles, basic machine tools, developments in the µ-manufacturing processes, micro and nano metrology and research trends in the area of µ-manufacturing processes. Thus, this short term course will deal with various areas of micromanufacturing icluding measurement techniques.
The objective of EdRP components is to provide software components, for use in academic institutes in India. This workshop is being conducted to provide exposure to effective use of the Brihaspati EdRP products (Brihaspati-3 LMS, BGAS, PayrollSystem, PICO). There will be presentations by the IITK Kanpur development team along with the discussion sessions. There will also be hands on session to make the participants comfortable with the EdRP products, and to enable them to effectively use these products in their institutions.

Physics as taught in engineering colleges in India has vast and varied contents. It is covered in a one semester in majority of institutions. A few institutions offer physics for two semesters. In almost all cases, Physics department seems to function as a service department to the main stream engineering and technology departments. In this context, it is a big challenge to keep the right motivation for learning (and teaching) physics as a subject with its own individual identity. It is necessary to identify the most essential basic topics of the physics syllabus and over, at least, those with the right approach and spirit.
Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetic Theory (EMT) are among the most basic building blocks of Physics curricula. We have addressed the first two in TEQIP workshop on "Mechanics in Physics" last year. As a sequel, a workshop with an emphasis on EMT, is being organized. This workshop aims to cover a coherent group of topics: EMT, optics and lasers. EMT finds no place in many engineering physics curricula, optics a casual mention and lasers a cursory treatment. In a few engineering branches EMT is given as a full course in the second/third year.
This workshop proposes to discuss the contemporary aspects of teaching EMT in a physics course at the technical colleges. There will be model lectures, tutorial-sessions and discussions and homework/exam problems. In addition to understanding and appreciating the contemporary aspects of traditional EMT, lectures by experts will attempt to present the seamless transition from EMT to optics and lasers. One of the expected outcomes is to commend the contents covered in the workshop to form part of the engineering physics curriculum.

The school on mechanics will offer short refreshers in:
Availability of clean and sustainable energy is of fundamental importance in all applications of energy, power, mobility and propulsion. This workshop will bring together renowned experts from around the globe to share the latest fundamental and applied research innovations on clean energy utilization for a wide range of devices extending from micro scale energy conversion to hypersonic propulsion using fossil and biofuels. The specific applications will include the research areas of: hypersonic propulsion, combustion of fossil and biofuels, clean energy and power for various stationary applications, gas turbines, IC engines and transport applications, biofuels and value added products, thermal management, emission control and environmental issues from energy conversion. It is envisaged that the world renowned scientists and engineers will share their latest research and development activities in the above areas for clean and efficient energy use with due considerations to energy sustainability. A round-table discussion will also be held to identify key areas of common interest and to develop a strategy to promote collaborative research on those focussed areas. The international collaborations will help identify key novel technologies that show promise for viable options for improved, efficient and sustainable utilization of fossil fuels and biofuels during energy conversion for power and propulsion applications.
Through international partnership the workshop will bring together experts in selected fields spanning from fuels, biofuels, their cleaner utilization in current and future platforms of power, mobility and propulsion. It will bring the awareness to young scientists so that they know the topics of significant importance to work on in their professional careers. The workshop will also bring networking opportunities in common areas of interest.
The planned workshop will have several tailored technical tracks with presentations form world renowned technical experts in the field on current and future activities. Some of the planned activities include dedicated sessions on Biofuels and value added products, Cleaner chemical to thermal energy conversion, Advanced combustion technologies (including micro combustion, low temperature combustion and distributed combustion, ultra-lean combustion, partially premixed combustion), Internal combustion engines and conventional fuels, Combustion of renewable fuels, New engine technologies, Spray combustion, Solid fuel combustion and gasification, Fuel reforming, Supersonic combustion, Detonation, Hypersonics, Combustion instability and control, Thermal management, and Combustion diagnostics. The energy use, fuel flexibility, high efficiency and performance continue to remain of pinnacle importance to all sectors of energy and transport use. Although significant advances have been achieved in all these fields in recent times, sustainability is still a major issue both due to dwindling fossil fuel reserves and harmful effects of combustion generated pollutants on the environment and the subsequent greenhouse gases effects. Since hydrocarbons fuel use is expected to be the major source of energy in all sectors of power, transportation and propulsion for the foreseeable future, focussed research and development efforts are needed to develop and deploy energy conversion technologies. The energy and environment sustainability would require a multi-pronged approach involving development and utilization of new and renewable fuels, design of fuel-flexible combustion systems that can be easily operated with the new fuels, and develop novel and environmentally friendly technologies for improved utilization of fuels.
The Indian Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability (ISEES) provides a platform for such scientific exchange of information amongst scientists from the international scientific community worldwide. A three-day workshop, will be held at Jadavpur University, Calcutta, Indiathat will attract researchers and engineers from academia, industries and research organizationsfrom worldwide location to discuss major technological advances for sustainable in power, energy, transport and propulsion developments for diverse applications. Special focus will be on high speed propulsion, micro-scale power generation and novel combustion concepts using fossil fuels, biofuels and their mixtures. Of great importance is the production of value added products from bio-resources. Assessment of recent developments will reveal fundamental pathways and opportunities for future international collaborations.

Knowledge Incubation for TEQIP, IIT Kanpur is pleased to announce Winter Internship and Visiting Researcher program 2014. This program is for PG students and faculty members of all TEQIP colleges under KIT, IIT Kanpur quality circle. This is a step towards encouraging research collaborations and student exchange with the colleges in Quality Circle assigned to IIT Kanpur.
The course will seek to highlight the most important concepts of digital communications and networks, specially from the perspective of UG teaching. The focus will be on basics, and ideas that constitute the bedrock of modern communication systems. Although the final schedule will be announced later, the topics planned to be covered, along with the overall time that will be spent on each area, is as follows:
Organising workshops and courses comes with its share of logistical problems. Leave and travel arrangements for the participants are major stumbling blocks. Hence, we wanted a locally manageable interactive e-learning platform. Prof. Prabhakar and his team from CSE created such a platform, which was used to offer the first computing course, as a summer course at IIT Kanpur. A first MOOC course "Architecting Software for the Cloud" was launched on 25th August. Almost 2000 students from across all TEQIP institutions and other interested institutions enrolled for this course. This course was planned to address the challenges posed by contemporary application scenarios, an engineer today should know how to build applications using cloud platforms. A set of short lecture videos in the form of learning objects to students were given. This course had assessment components in the form of quizzes. It also offered opportunities to discuss online with fellow students and instructors. Students were given a certificate of accomplishment after successfully completing the course.
This workshop consists of a school followed by a symposium in the broad fields of mechanics and applied mathematics. This constitutes another step towards expanding the scope IIT Kanpur's engagement with TEQIP institutes in both research and pedagogy.
School: The school on mechanics and applied mathematics aims will offer short refreshers in (a) Engineering Mathematics, (b) Dynamics (c) Fluid mechanics, and (d) Solid mechanics. This will be a forum for educators who wish to discuss teaching methodologies and/or expand their pedagogical goals to meet the ever increasing demands of technical education. It will also help students who intend to participate in the symposium to follow and/or pursue higher studies in mechanics.
Symposium: The symposium collects some of the best researchers from India and abroad in the broad fields of dynamics and continuum (fluid and solid) mechanics. It also serves as a platform where researchers from TEQIP institutes can engage and present their own work.
You may have felt that your students may not be learning the computer science subjects as well as you intend. While interviewing the students who apply for Masters and Doctoral programme at IIT-Kanpur, we notice that the applicants lack the depth of understanding of even the basic courses. Often their inability to prove a simple mathematical claim or to prove the correctness of an algorithm or to state a concept formally or to apply a concept/result to a new situation becomes a hurdle in achieving higher education. The proposed TEQIP workshop is to understand the reasons behind these shortcomings and discuss possible ways to deal with them.

Physics syllabus in engineering colleges in India is vast. It looks even vaster when one aims to cover it in just two semesters. In such a scenario, keeping the right motivation of learning physics as a subject, that has its own phenomenal individual identity, becomes quite difficult. Amid all the chaos, it is necessary to identify and separate the most essential topics of the physics syllabus and cover, at least, those with the right spirit and philosophy.
In the proposed workshop Mechanics in Physics, we identify one such group of topics: Mechanics. Broadly, it covers Newtonian, quantum and relativistic mechanics. It is well-acknowledged that these topics are very subtle and constitute the very basic building blocks of any other topic in physics.
The workshop will present us with the opportunity to discuss the contemporary aspects of teaching mechanics in a physics course. We shall try to see through model lectures by experts on how to squeeze maximum juice out of a topic that may look dry outwardly. There will model tutorial-sessions and discussions on model homework/exam problems that can be used to propel the course in a uniform pace without sacrificing lecture-hours. In addition to understanding what is the contemporary take on centuries-old Newtonian mechanics, one of the key highlights of the workshop will be seminars by experienced experts on how to do the difficult job of making transition from Newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics and relativistic mechanics in a classroom.

We Are About Relationships
The Season after Pentecost, often called Ordinary Time and sometimes called Kingdomtide, begins the day after Pentecost Sunday and runs until Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas. It is the longest season of the Christian calendar. During the Season after Pentecost, we are back into Ordinary Time following the Easter feast cycle of Lent-Easter-Pentecost. The color of the paraments in the sanctuary changes to green, which symbolizes life and growth.
The lectionary Gospel passages focus on the ministry and teachings of Jesus, especially as they relate to the Kingdom of God (hence the name Kingdomtide). The term Ordinary Time makes this season sound boring and plain, but it is a wonderful season for growing in our understanding of the Reign of God through the teachings of Jesus Christ. In fact, the word "ordinary" refers not to the lack of exceptionality of the season, but rather the counting of the Sundays using ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) numbers.
During the month of July, as the run-up to the Presidential election begins in earnest, we will spend some time in worship reflecting together about the intersections of faith and politics. Our prayer is that this will be a time when we can think creatively and critically about who we are called to be and how we can live together in unity despite our differences. Additionally, our children will lead worship on July 15 after spending a week preparing through Choir Camp.

The most interesting moment of Music By Steve Reich: A Conversation and Concert at Melbourne's Metropolis New Music festival, came late in the evening. Surprisingly, for a night of music and conversation, it was neither spoken nor played.
Lisa Kaplan is the pianist for contemporary music group eighth blackbird, who are in Melbourne to act as the central drawcard for the festival. At this moment, she was trying to explain what a 'phase' was, and what it meant for Steve Reich's music. She paused for a moment, and laughed. A phase, she explained, is an easy thing to recognise when you hear it, but difficult to summarise simply.
Instead, Kaplan placed her two palms together, fingers outstretched, left wrist facing the audience. Then, she slowly moved the fingers of one hand out from behind the other. At first, there were five fingers in profile. Then, ten slowly emerged. Then ten became five again.
This was a phase. This was Steve Reich.
It is no small achievement to have a composer like Reich visit Melbourne for the Metropolis festival. Reich, according to The Guardian, is one of "a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history." Along with Phillip Glass and Terry Riley, he was instrumental in forming what is now known as minimalist music, and more importantly, in pushing the classical world beyond the twelve-tone composition it had been fastened to for so long.
Reich's epochal moment as a composer — perhaps minimalism's moment, too — came in 1965, when he was sitting in front of two tape decks cued with a recording of Brother Walter, a Pentecostal preacher, delivering a particularly forceful sermon. Reich's intention, so the story goes, was to cut rapidly from one recording of Brother Walter to the other, creating a shift from left to right. "It's gonna rain!" was Brother Walter's selected phrase.
But Reich had lined the tapes up incorrectly, and when he hit play, he discovered that they were slightly out of sync, and one was going moderately faster than the other: "It's gonna-gonna rain-rain it's-it's gonna-gonna-gonna rain-rain-rain!"
Phasing became a kind of musical signature, or intellectual hallmark for Steve Reich, as much of a symbol of the man and his music as the baseball cap he is apparently never seen without. Beyond Reich's early tape music like It's Gonna Rain, the logic of the mis-timed tapes plays out on a broader scale. While only one piece performed at the concert was strictly phase music (1971's Drumming), Reich's fascination with the time and space of music framed the whole concert.
This is what Kaplan was trying to demonstrate with her finger silhouettes: that Reich's music multiplies and turns in on itself in equal measure. Take, for example, Clapping Music (1972), which Reich himself and percussionist Eugene Ughetti opened the evening with. Reich is keen to emphasise that Clapping is not a phase, but rather a row (like primary school performances of Row, Row, Row Your Boat), where the music shifts in more measurable chunks than in a phase. Yet the same logic applies: the music turns in on itself, creating a hypnotic space of musical texture solely between the rhythms of two performer's claps.
This was an exceptional evening of music. All of Reich's pieces were performed by clearly top-tier musicians — a mixture of eighth blackbird members and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra regulars — and the evening was programmed and executed immaculately. The weaker part of the programme came after interval, which featured Reich in conversation with three members of eighth blackbird, who are clearly better musicians than they are interlocutors. Still, Reich himself was engaging and insightful, even if a third party would have been better placed to lead proceedings.
The centrepiece of the evening, however, was Reich's Different Trains (1988), a three-movement piece for string quartet and tape that ended the first half of the programme. The Grammy Award winning composition deals with dark and complicated material, and in a sense is one of Reich's darkest and most complicated pieces (only perhaps outstripped in these stakes by his grim WTC 9/11).
Different Trains is at once personal and incomprehensible: it is, in a sense, a reflection on Reich's own train journeys as a child, visiting his separated parents in New York and Los Angeles. In the first movement, America — Before the War, he uses recordings of his governess and a train porter to structure the piece, just as in It's Gonna Rain. But this time, the recordings sit alongside played music and other recorded sounds (train whistles and sirens), with the string quartet picking up on melodic snatches of Reich's taped interview phrases. They take up their brief melodies here and there — From Chi-cago. From Chi-cago to New Yo-ork — playing with and without the voices superimposed on top.
The piece is also Reich's reflection that, as a Jew, if he had been in Europe he "would have been taking very different trains," as he is fond of saying in interviews. The second and third movements (Europe — During the War and After the War) concentrate on this idea. Instead of his governess, we hear three Holocaust survivors, with far more disturbing phrases, like "they tattooed a number on our arm", and "black crows invaded our country".
The way that the string quartet takes up on these phrases is extraordinary. Each time a new phrase is introduced, it is captured by one of the string instruments and repeated wordlessly. Thus in Different Trains, we can most clearly glimpse the power of Steve Reich's music: these ideas, these horrible events that are too powerful to speak directly to, are consumed by the repetitious structures of the string quartet, each word folding into the array but not being stripped of meaning. Through these phases, these repetitions of semi-abstract vocal snatches as spoken by Cello, or by Viola, we have the meaning fed back to us, interacting with each element to form something else entirely.
These are the fingers of Kaplan's hands, moving from five digits to ten and back again. This is the genius of Reich: we can clearly hear the Cello calling "black crows" long after the recording of the survivor's voice has stepped back from the piece. In Reich's music, shadows emerge from patterns.
When, at the end of the evening, it was mentioned that Reich's current project is inspired by two Radiohead songs, it could not have been more appropriate.
The two songs? Everything in its Right Place and Jigsaw Falling Into Place. Of course. That's Steve Reich.

چکیده انگلیسی
Investigations regarding the differences between Chinese only and non-only children primarily examine children's social behaviors, which are closely related to their early relationships with mothers and teachers. In recent years, the number of non-only children born in urban areas has increased because of the softening of the One-Child Policy, which leads to the distribution of non-only children shifting from being primarily in rural areas to being in both urban and rural areas. The present study investigates the current characteristics and influences of mother–child and teacher–child relationships on Chinese only and non-only children's early social behaviors from the perspective of urban and rural differences. Data were obtained from 126 rural only children, 94 rural non-only children, 168 urban only children and 155 urban non-only children from 38 semi-urban kindergartens in Beijing, China. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses found that mother–child closeness positively predicted children's social skills particularly in non-only children, whereas mother–child conflict positively predicted internalizing behavior problems in all four groups. Teacher–child conflict negatively predicted children's social skills most strongly in urban only children. Teacher–child conflict aggravated rural only children's, urban only children's and non-only children's internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, but mother–child closeness buffered rural only children's externalizing behavior problems. Findings underscore the importance for mothers to improve closeness, especially with rural only children, and for teachers to avoid conflict with both urban only and non-only children, as well as with rural only children.

In a Major Relief to Delhi VAT Dealers and assessee's the Delhi government has done its bit to ease the norms for registration and also eliminating inspection at the outset of the registration. With this on the other side it will be important for the government to ensure that this ease is not misused by unscrupulous elements.
New Process for Registration is Comparatively Simple and shall be as under:-
1. The applicant dealer, applying online, shall provide PAN details and other brief particulars including e-mail, mobile etc. to begin with.
2. PAN shall be verified from Income Tax data base, maintained by NSDL, on real time basis.
3. On successful PAN verification, user ID and password would be communicated to the applicant on the same day.
4. The applicant dealer can file registration application under DVAT and /or CST Act, as the case may be, and deposit fee online. Scanned requisite documents are also required to be uploaded with the application.
5. The application(s) would be made available in the login of concerned ward VATO for examination of application documents.
6. Consequent upon approval of the VATO concerned, the digitally signed Registration Certificate/TIN (downloadable at the dealer's end) will be granted preferably within one day to the prospective applicant dealer, (instead of 'Provisional Certificate' hitherto issued), for which no VATI verification at this stage shall be required.
7. The provision of providing Bank Account details, at the time of applying for registration under DVAT & CST Act, as envisaged in Form DVAT 04, Part ( Column No 16) shall be optional ,on the part of the applicant dealer. However, the dealer shall have to provide Bank Account details of the business expeditiously on or before the filing of first Return, in r/o the registered entity.

Butterflies, everywhere!/
It's been a month since 100 centimeter-long caterpillars arrived at our office in downtown Stamford, and now we've got butterflies everywhere! As can be expected, we had some caterpillars who didn't make it all the way to adulthood, as well as about five that developed much faster than the rest and have already been released. But as of Monday morning, we have 15 Monarchs in our office with another dozen or so ready to emerge at any moment.
This week we will be hosting a members-only Monarch Release event where a large swath of butterflies will be released simultaneously in our newly christened Monarch Waystation. Basic membership costs $25 and gives you access to special events such as this, as well as multiple other benefits. Contact Emily Rosenthal at email@example.com to learn more about how you can become a member.

I have been having a craving for peanut butter lately. I bake things with it, but I wonder if I can make any savory dish with the peanut butter in. I made the peanut butter dressing which was really tasty. Any idea?
Cynthia is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
I could eat peanut sauce by the bowl! Scroll through these and see if something catches your fancy: http://www.food52.com/recipes...
I would definitely do a search for thai recipes. If you want savory, search for something like stir-fry chicken in thai-peanut sauce, et al.
I love Thai recipes....
cook some sliced chicken breast and add about 2 tsp of fish sauce.
cut up some fresh green beans, red bell peppers and scallions and add to chicken.
take about 3/4 chunky smucker's all natural peanut butter, about 1.5 TBSP of Thai green curry paste and about 1/4 cup water to make a sauce.
add to chicken and veggies and serve over jasmine rice! Viola!

I use to make peanut-sesame noodles all the time and I can't find my recipe in any of my files. I usually just wing it. Here is a recipe I found online: http://www.epicurious.com... that is very similar to one I make. I usually add several drops of fish sauce, use maple syrup instead of honey, and I use mirin but no vinegar. It is very flexible but the base of this is PEANUT BUTTER.
Oops, forgot that I add chopped cilantro . . .

Since starting this blog, it's safe to say I've put on a pound or two. Nothing drastic, but I do have a propensity towards the more calorific dishes, and I'm not renowned for willpower or portion control. When trying to perfect recipes, it will probably come as no surprise to hear that I've generally eaten each dish twice in the week it featured.
Anybody who knows me personally will know that I'm always weight-conscious. I yo-yo between impressive excess and remarkable restraint. I am a frequenter of fat clubs, and today's recipe is courtesy of one of them!
People often have the wrong idea of what they consider "diet food", believing it to be bland and unfulfilling. They may be surprised to find that this King Prawn Saag recipe from Weight Watchers won't disappoint on either flavour or heat.
If you're familiar with Weight Watchers' pro-points system, the entire recipe is only 5 (yes 5) points! If you're more of a Slimming World kind of person, this would be free on an Extra Easy day.
So crack on! This week it's guilt-free!

Paris, Be Mine/
I've fallen in love a handful of times in my life: in high school when I awoke in Lausanne, Switzerland--my first time in Europe--and looked out my flower-boxed window at a city so gorgeous and pristine is didn't seem real.
In college when I wandered the cobblestone streets of Orvieto, Italy--a crumbling, enchanted, hilltop town--for the first time and thought to myself, "Do I really get to live here for the next three months?"
And most recently, in Paris.
It's more difficult than the previous times for me to pinpoint the exact moment I handed a little piece of my heart to Paris, but I think I first started to feel those strange flutterings in my stomach as I rode the metro into the city from the airport. A dejected-looking man was squawking the same melancholy notes on his clarinet over and over in an otherwise silent compartment. He kept going for a while. It was downright terrible and no one said I word. I smiled. This is something I can get behind, I thought. (It was only my first taste of the many subway performers who would serenade me while I was there. Most were far better than him.)
And after a single day in Paris, I didn't want to leave. Like, ever. I loved the architecture, I loved the fashion, I loved the convenience of the metro, I loved the thousands of cafes, I loved how polite everyone was (why do Parisians have such a bad rap?), I loved the deliberate, widespread lack of English. I guess you could say I fell pretty hard.
I didn't spend my time there running from place to place and checking off must-see items on my list. It was a slow, sweet, week-long affair.
Two friends from Korea, both of whom are very special to me, met up with me there. While we are worlds away now, one of these friends at the time was, well, more than a friend. It became increasingly difficult to shake the cliches about Paris as the ultimate city for love. It really is one of the most romantic places I've ever been.
We stayed in a cozy creaky-floored apartment in the 9th arrondissement, owned by a kind man named Xavier--who, incidentally, had the best wardrobe I have ever seen (not that I looked in the closet, ahem). We spent our days wandering the streets hand-in-hand, chatting and stopping periodically to take photos of scenes that caught our interest: a small truck with a basket of lavender on the roof; several pairs of tennis shoes dangling from a single telephone line; a radiant sky still full of rain clouds from earlier . Another day we bought a bag of cherries from a farmers market, then went thrift store shopping. It wasn't a groundbreaking itinerary, but these little memories are what have stuck with me months later.
In the evenings we bought overpriced cocktails, went to jazz clubs, became hopelessly lost. On a particularly memorable night, we rode an elevator to the top of Tour Montparnasse for stunning views of the city, then shared a bottle of wine on a darkened bench in front of the Eiffel Tower, right as the tower's nightly midnight light show began. Still wanting more views of the city, afterward we walked along the Seine, taking in the the glowing lights that cast yellow reflections across the river. (I can't be certain, but that single evening may have ruined all future dates for me.)
When I returned home, I spent about a week researching how I could possibly move to Paris before realizing that life as a resident would likely ruin everything. The fantasy would be shattered. Everything would be different. Like those romantic relationships that only seem to make sense inside a set of time-stamped parameters, I knew I couldn't love Paris in the same way as a permanent city-dweller.
I'm not sure when I'll be back, but you can be sure I'll be back for another tryst. In the meantime, I'll continue struggling to describe Paris in anything other than cliches. City of Love. City of Lights. City of Fashion (and attractive men with beards). City of the Best Damn Pastries I've Ever Tasted.
Happy Valentine's Day, Paris. This year you have my heart.

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," June 13, 2016. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: This is a "Fox News" alert. The evil terrorist who slaughtered 49 innocent people visited the gay nightclub, The Pulse, a dozen times.
Regulars at "The Pulse" nightclub in Orlando telling the "Orlando Sentinel" killer Omar Mateen was spotted at the club multiple times.
And tonight we are learning brand new information about what the 29-year- old terrorist did in the days leading up to his massacre.
But ON THE RECORD begins here in Orlando with the heart breaking story from Brett Rigas.
Bret was inside the club and was grazed with a bullet. And just a short time ago, he learned that his partner who had been standing right next to him did not survive the terror attack.
BRETT RIGAS, SHOOTING SURVIVER: Got there about 12:30 or so. We had a few drinks. And I had just closed my bar tab on the outside bar. And as we were walking out, the promoter, Nem, a good friend of mine, he signalled me over and offered to get me a drink.
And we were standing at the bar, at the corner of the bar. And there were four of us around the loop of the bar. And we just heard some shots or what sounded like shots, but we thought it was part of the music. We didn't know.
The guy next to us said it was just the music. And then I just started hearing glass breaking and we knew that it wasn't part of the music. So we all hit the floor. And I crawled around the bar and underneath the ice well, where there was two or three other people there. And just laid there with one of the other bartender friends of mine.
And she was hysterical, and I was trying to calm her down. She was trying to calm me down. And the shots were right above our head. Like all the bottles in the bar that were on the shelf right a foot away from us were just shattering and breaking. And glass was everywhere. Liquor was everywhere.
And then I could hear a radio, and I wasn't sure if it was the officer that was there, or if the guy who was communicating with another person because I don't know if there was somebody else there or not. I heard different things. But I only know of one person.
And it seemed like hours had gone by when those people got there. Until the police got there. But it probably was only 15 minutes or not even 15 minutes.
VAN SUSTEREN: How did you get out of there?
RIGAS: It was on the corner of the entrance to where everybody -- the staff goes into the bar. And I just crawled on the floor into the -- underneath the ice well that was there.
VAN SUSTEREN: Was anybody -- Frank, he was hit. Did you know that?
RIGAS: I didn't know. And I didn't know where he was. We were standing next to each other, but I don't know where he was when I crawled on the other side. There were so many people on that corner right there that I didn't know where anybody was.
VAN SUSTEREN: So you never saw him get hit?
RIGAS: No. The music was going and then all of the sudden it stopped. There was no music. All you could hear was sprays of bullets just over and over again.
VAN SUSTEREN: Did you ever see the killer?
RIGAS: No.
VAN SUSTEREN: Did you ever see the flash from any light near the weapon or anything?
RIGAS: We were under the bar and we just stayed there and didn't move until everything was over.
VAN SUSTEREN: Were people screaming? How was it?
RIGAS: Yes. People screaming. People crying. Like you could hear people everywhere.
VAN SUSTEREN: Did the killer say anything? Was he yelling anything?
RIGAS: I didn't hear anything. I didn't hear -- all I could hear and even last night when I was trying to go to sleep, all I could hear were gunshots.
VAN SUSTEREN: Haunting?
RIGAS: Yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: So, when you got outside, what did you do?
RIGAS: There was a guy that was hit really bad. There was four of us. And underneath the bar area four or five of us. And there was a guy hit really bad. And the police had us hold our hands up. If we were still alive, to hold our hands up. So we held our hands up --
VAN SUSTEREN: This was inside the bar.
RIGAS: Yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: So the police came in while you were inside the bar.
RIGAS: Yes. And they told us if we were alive to hold our hands up. So we held our hands up. And then within seconds they said get back down because the guy was still inside. So we got back down again and then they told us to put our hands up again, and we went out of the bar.
And we -- they told us to just keep running. So when we got outside through like the glass that was broken in the front and the front door area, there was a guy on the ground there. I don't remember if he was inside or on the ground there, but the police asked us to help carry him. So there was four of us that carried him out and his arm, he was shot in the arm pretty bad.
And the bartender that was next to me was shot in the leg. So when we got to like a safe area behind the Dunkin' Donuts, the cops asked us to take off our shirts and everything and tie it around the wound of the people that we are with.
VAN SUSTEREN: And so the police were actually inside with the killer when he was actually shooting.
RIGAS: Yes. There was -- when I was out, going off the dance floor area to like run out of that exit, there was a cop with like a machine gun standing there on the inside of the bar?
VAN SUSTEREN: And nobody knew where the killer was?
RIGAS: No.
VAN SUSTEREN: Was it too dark to sort of identify where the killer was? Or what do you think about --
RIGAS: I couldn't even told you it was a cop. Like it was dark in there at that time. Like, if I wouldn't have put two and two together that it was the police and that it was safe to get out of there, I wouldn't have been able to know who it was standing there. It was dark in there.
VAN SUSTEREN: And were you looking for Frank at that point?
RIGAS: Yes, I looked for him everywhere out there. And he wasn't there. And I asked if he was in another staging area. They said there was another staging area, but they didn't know where it was or who was there, or anything.
VAN SUSTEREN: How far away was he from you when you were in the bar before the shooting started?
RIGAS: He was right next to me.
VAN SUSTEREN: Closer than you and I are?
RIGAS: Closer than we are.
VAN SUSTEREN: And you never saw him get shot?
RIGAS: No. And when I walked out, I looked for him. There was so many people on the floor like face down and blood everywhere. I just wanted to get out of there. And I looked for him. I didn't see him. And I was just hoping that he got out like I knew what he was wearing and I looked for his shirt, and I couldn't see anybody's face. Everybody was face down on the ground that was there.
I looked for him at the police department because they took a bus before us. So when we got to the police department, I looked for him there, and he wasn't there. And from there I went to the hospital and they didn't want to give me any information at the hospital. It was hard to get into the hospital. So I left my name and my phone number. And they put this hotline number that I called 500 times yesterday. And it was more of an answering service than it was anything.
I still haven't heard anything back from anybody there. I wouldn't know that anything happened if it wasn't for his family that drove here from Louisiana and went to the crisis center today.
VAN SUSTEREN: Who notified the family?
RIGAS: I'm guessing the -- I'm guessing the police.
VAN SUSTEREN: But I mean that they drove here?
RIGAS: I contacted them.
VAN SUSTEREN: And said I can't find him?
RIGAS: Well, I contacted his best friend. I didn't have his mom's phone number. And then she got in touch with his sister which got in touch with me. And they immediately -- they left within 30 minutes and were driving here.
VAN SUSTEREN: And so then, so all day Sunday, you were looking for him. No luck.
RIGAS: We went to the crisis center. And they named off a list of names that were at two hospitals and he wasn't on either one of those lists. So at that point, they basically told us that they didn't know. Like he was probably one of the casualties that didn't make it.
And so this morning I woke up thinking positive thoughts. That maybe, because there were 36 people named and he still wasn't on that list of people that had died. So I was hoping that he was just somewhere. And I got the call around 1:00 that his family had just found out that he didn't make it.
VAN SUSTEREN: How is the family doing? Probably pretty poorly.
RIGAS: I can't even really understand them on the phone because they are crying so much. And it's not good for anybody right now.
VAN SUSTEREN: Tell me about him. Where did you first meet him?
RIGAS: I met him here in Orlando. He had just moved here from Texas. And we actually met at another nightclub. And we didn't talk for a couple weeks after that and he had been here about two weeks. And he called me and asked me if we wanted to have like a radio of our first date, I guess, per se. And we did.
And ever since then, we have probably spent in three years two weeks apart from each other. Like if he had to go somewhere for work or visit his family or I went somewhere for work is the only time we were not together.
VAN SUSTEREN: So, you have a relationship with him. Bought a house together?
RIGAS: We have a house together.
VAN SUSTEREN: And everything was fine until Saturday night?
RIGAS: Yes. If I could go back and change this, we wouldn't even left the house.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, it's so hard to understand the evil of this, isn't it? I mean, I don't even -- as I said to you, when I sat down, I didn't even know what to say to you.
RIGAS: I was afraid I wasn't even going to be able to do this interview because this morning when I got the news, I couldn't stop crying. It was just -- every time I look at Facebook and see this outpour of people that are sending their condolences, I can't even look at it because it just brings tears to my eyes every single time.
Like I'm fine one minute and the next minute I'm a basket case. It's just -- it's a lot to take in. You never think that something like this will happen to you. Like you see things like this on the news and you are like, God, I'm so glad I wasn't there. Or it's just something that you -- I wouldn't wish this on anybody.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, for me, it's like, you know, listening to these stories, it's like -- you know, it's a regular Saturday night and everybody is going out to have fun. And everything is, you know, the whole point is to have fun and to meet people and have a social night. And then this.
RIGAS: Yes. I mean, I don't even usually go to Pulse on Saturday night. And I just -- it just was a fluke that we happened to be there last night or two nights ago. I haven't had much sleep so I don't really know what day it is.
VAN SUSTEREN: So how are you? That's probably a stupid question to ask. I don't even know what to ask you.
RIGAS: I'm getting by. I mean, I don't know -- I went to my house yesterday to pick up some clothes and it was very hard to walk in our bedroom and see his things there. And I knew I couldn't stay there last night and thank God my friend Lisa had me at her house.
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you know any of the other people who were there? That were, I mean, any other deaths?
RIGAS: I know six people on the list so far.
VAN SUSTEREN: Six on the list?
RIGAS: Yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: And who are they
RIGAS: I mean about three of them are acquaintances that I know from the club. And I mean one of them, i have known since I was a teenager. And I couldn't believe it when I saw his name on the list there.
And the guy that I carried out was another one that ended up not making it through.
VAN SUSTEREN: The one who was so badly injured?
RIGAS: Yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: Boy, it's unthinkable, isn't it?
RIGAS: It's -- I don't -- I can't even describe how I -- the emotions that are going through my mind and my body and everything like that. Tough.
VAN SUSTEREN: I was actually surprised that you wanted to talk to us, you know, because I know that you just learned about it. And I figure somewhat you are a little bit in shock sort of is my thought.
RIGAS: Well, I mean, the thing is that if I don't get the story out there, who is going to tell it? Like, I mean, you don't want somebody to give you a fabricated story or something that hearsay that I have been hearing on the news.
I mean, you want to know something from somebody that was actually there and had to go through this incident.
How do you get in with a gun like that? Like, I mean, how do you walk past people like with something like that? I mean, once you are in, you are in. So you really -- there is really nothing you can do.
I don't blame the club. I don't blame the owners. I don't blame any of them. I blame myself for a lot of it because we could have easily just stayed home.
VAN SUSTEREN: That's not the issue, you can't blame yourself. That's not right. I mean, you know, going out on a Saturday night -- I mean, you shouldn't blame yourself, obviously. I mean, don't blame yourself.
RIGAS: Yes. But I mean -- regardless, I'm going. That's just what's going through my mind.
VAN SUSTEREN: What was Frank like?
RIGAS: He was a great guy. He was very funny. So much like we did everything together. We have traveled. We have been on two cruises. We were planning to go to New York next month for his birthday. And all that in one night just gone.
VAN SUSTEREN: We appreciate Brett for taking the time to speak to us during this, obviously, incredibly difficult time.
