The company also announced investment of Rs 1,000-1,200 crore in the next five to seven years on expansion, which will include partnerships, acquisitions and setting up of greenfield projects.
"The acquisition gives us a foot into futuristic products as Tessolve Semiconductor is into providing engineering expertise in semiconductor design, test/product engineering to global clients," Hero Electronix Founder Director Ujjwal Munjal told PTI.
He said the acquisition will be carried out in a phased manner and by the end of 2016, Hero Electronix will have a significant majority holding in Tessolve. Currently, Tessolve has close to 900 employees with offices in India, Singapore, Malaysia and the US.
Since its inception in 2004, its engineers have executed several turnkey development projects for various leading semiconductor companies globally. Munjal said Tessolve is a strategic fit Hero Electronix' scheme of things to become a global digital enterprise.
"We would continue to add technological capabilities in the company by diversifying further in the semiconductor value chain, IoT, electronics components and services. Hero Electronix and its group companies plan to invest Rs 1,000-1,2000 crore in the next 5 to 7 years for expansion," he said.
"Our vision is to build a billion dollar global digital products and solutions enterprise. Our approach is to invest in businesses that are engineering led and IP driven. We are looking to support both local entrepreneurs and bring global technology leaders into India," he added.
When asked about funding of the investments, he said it will be by the Hero Group and other group firms reinvesting. Tessolve Semiconductor CEO P Raja Manickam said the company is just "scratching the surface" of opportunities in the field of semiconductor engineering services.
"With Hero's investments we can look at a bigger lab...the combination of industry expertise, brand reach and operational efficiency that will allow us to provide enhanced customer experience and grow our business even further," he added.
Hero Electronix had acquired majority stake in MyBox Technologies in June 2015. MyBox Technologies is a leader in multi-operator manufacturer of digital set-top boxes in the country.

Do you hear that? It's Carnival marching towards the gates of Brazil. The world's biggest and longest lasting street party, Carnival will begin Saturday, February 9th and continue until Tuesday, February 12th. Itacaré is no different from other cities in Brazil, except the parties and blocos are much smaller yet equally as loud.
The Mayor's Office of Itacaré is hosting "Eco Folia 2013″ bringing diverse attractions to the Carnival festivities promising smiles and good times for locals and visitors alike.
During the day along the boardwalk (orla), there will be two or more local blocos or groups performing at 12 pm and 4 pm each day. At night, there will be live performances of samba, axé, pagode e reggae. The schedule is as follows:
Sugar Roy and Conrad Crystal, Dada Yute e Solano Jacob
One particular group that has been participating in Carnival for years is Libélula. Libélula is a Brazilian non-profit whose focus is to empower teenage girls and young women. They have been working for weeks on the fabulous Carnival costumes made from soda bottles, coffee filters, old newspapers, recycled goods, trash, and anything else you can imagine. This, in an effort to bring awareness to our environmental issues. Their group is called, O Luxo do Lixo (The luxuriousness of trash).
If you are interested in joining their group for Carnival on Saturday, February 9th. Stop by Libélula to purchase your costume ($R10) and support them in their mission to educate and provide assistance to the young women of Itacaré.
Happy Carnival to All!!!

THURSDAY, Dec. 28, 2017 (HealthDay News) — Exposing young children to a wide range of healthy foods when they're young can help instill good eating habits, researchers report.
They added that even if it's a struggle, parents shouldn't give up.
To arrive at that conclusion, the investigators reviewed 40 studies on how infants and young children develop a taste for healthy foods, especially vegetables and fruits.
The key is to repeatedly expose them to a variety of healthy foods during pregnancy, infancy and early childhood, the review found.
During pregnancy, the flavors of a mother's diet "reach the child in utero, so if she's eating a healthy diet, the fetus does get exposed to those flavors, getting the child used to them," said study author Stephanie Anzman-Frasca. She's an assistant professor in the department of pediatrics at the University at Buffalo in New York.
Breast-feeding also provides infants with exposure to the flavors of healthy foods.
After infancy, repeated exposure to healthy foods that children previously shunned can help them develop a taste for those foods, according to the researchers.
"This method of simply repeating the child's exposure to healthy foods has a robust evidence base behind it," Anzman-Frasca said in a university news release.
"There are many studies with preschoolers who start out not liking red peppers or squash, for example, but after five to six sessions where these foods are repeatedly offered, they end up liking them," she said.
"Overall, based on all the studies we reviewed, our strongest recommendation to parents and caregivers is, 'don't give up!'" Anzman-Frasca concluded.
The findings were published Dec. 20 in the journal Obesity Reviews.

Bank Indonesia (BI) projects the country's balance of payments (BoP) will reach a surplus of US$7 billion this year from $12 billion last year.
"We understand that last year there was the tax amnesty [which caused] hefty fund inflows so that the $7 billion figure [this year] is good enough given our sound capital and financial accounts," BI Governor Agus Martowardojo said on Monday.
Directorate General of Taxation data show that the tax amnesty resulted in Rp 147 trillion ($11 billion) in asset repatriation while the government secured Rp 135 trillion in revenue from penalties.
The BoP records economic transactions between residents and non-residents in a certain period of time. It consists of three key components, namely current account, capital account and financial account.
Indonesia's BoP stood at a surplus of $700 million in the second quarter supported by a higher surplus in capital and financial transactions compared to the current account deficit (CAD).
The CAD stood at $5 billion or 1.96 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) during the same period, BI data show.
The central bank forecasts the CAD to hover at between 1.5 and 2 percent of GDP this year and from 2 to 2.5 percent in 2018, below the safe limit of 3 percent. (bbn, Prima Wirayani, The Jakarta Post)

My recruiter was amazing; they were very responsive, knew the market, understood my skills and were able to figure out a good firm for me to be at.It made it easier to have someone review my resume. My recruiter reviewed my cover letter, which was well drafted and that helped. Also targeting the potential firm helped.The first three words are: experienced, since I know most of your recruiters have been lawyers, so I think they can understand better; being responsive; and well prepared: every time before I was going somewhere my recruiter knew what to do what and say. My recruiter was very well prepared.I would rank you very high among other recruiting companies.I would recommend BCG Attorney Search.
Julie was amazing. She stepped up when I was in the market for a job and quickly helped place me at one of the best firms in the area where I was looking. She made the process of finding a new job in a new market completely painless.
Right after contacting the job-seeking website for a position of patent agent, my recruiter gave me a brief phone call, swiftly acquiring information about my experience and qualifications. Within a day, based on my recruiter's professional analysis of my experience and qualifications, they sent me a detailed list of job openings and planned application strategies;the list includes not only the closely matched ones, but also the ones based on their analysis and job-seeking strategies that I may obtain a position, enhancing my chance of landing a job.

Video: There is currently no video but the San Francisco AIDS Foundation made a video of the show and edited it together and I never actually saw it but I was very flattered that they did it. I'd heard they were gonna use it as part of an AIDS prevention program because the script deals with safe sex and choices and risks and drugs...all those topics people aren't always honest about.
"A Few Gay Men" is reminiscent of the techniques of Anna Deavere Smith as filtered through the lens of Moises Kaufman ("The Laramie Project"). It explores some tough questions -- about AIDS, safe sex, gay misogyny, religious intolerance and a bracing variety of sexual practices -- with fascinating frankness."
"Writer and director Ronnie Larsen likes to talk about sex. No shock if you're familiar with his "All-Male Peep Show" or "Making Porn." While in New York, he placed an ad in search of men to talk about sex and found 100 eager participants. These interviews are the basis of Larsen's new show, "A Few Gay Men"...The material is by turns intriguing, erotically charged and poignant. This isn't a show for the timid or homophobic. And if you're looking for gratuitous nudity, this isn't for you either. Sex acts are simulated, and a few shirts are doffed, but the men remained clothed--it's their sexual souls that are naked.
Somehow, Larsen got many in the audience to admit they had spent time in jail, and of the few women in the house, one confessed she had recently fellated her boyfriend. All of which lead into writer-director Larsen's staged docudrama based on interviews with NYC gay men....and behind all the hot talk and posturing emerges a savage loneliness and yearning for connectedness that alternates between piquancy and poignancy."
"It's heartening to see Larsen spreading his wings so felicitously. In its finest moments, his labor of love lifts up and soars."citously. In its finest moments, his labor of love lifts up and soars."
Licensing Availability: Available for production, co-production and/or licensing.
Future: I'm hoping to produce this again and film it in the coming years.

Lycamobile, the world's largest international mobile virtual network operator, was a proud sponsor of ZEE London Mela 2016.
Now in its 14th year, and well established as one of the capital's many cultural events, ZEE London Mela is a festival inspired by South Asia and its population within the UK and Europe. The event celebrates Asian culture and creativity and gives emerging artists a platform to showcase their work to a wide audience. This year, audience members included London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of Brent and Lycamobile Group Marketing Director Khalid Aziz.
The 2016 event featured a range of different art forms including British Asian urban artists, dance, comedy and cabaret, Asian-influenced street theatre and circus, and many other exhibitions. And the event is not just popular with South Asian communities: a third of the audience come from non-Asian communities, making it a truly intercultural family event with something for every generation and community.
This year, Lycamobile's third year sponsoring, was the first time the event took place at Wembley Park and, in addition to British Asian and international artists, it featured a mouth-watering 'Tastes of Asia' food market.
With such a multicultural event focused on families and communities – two things at the heart of Lycamobile's mission – it was the perfect place to give people the opportunity to learn more about what we do. The Mela featured a number of Lycamobile stalls, which highlighted our many services and offered free SIM cards and top-up facilities.
Lyca Group Chairman, Subaskaran Allirajah, said, 'Lycamobile is proud to sponsor the ZEE London Mela for the third year running. Lycamobile and ZEE London Mela share the common goals of bringing families closer together and building stronger communities and the Mela gives London the opportunity to enjoy a rich and vibrant South Asian cultural event.'

Sonnedix, First Solar Mark Completion of 7.5 MW Nakhon Ratchasima Solar Farm, Largest First Solar Plant in South-East Asia
Thai solar power plant built meets annual electricity needs of more than 5,100 homes
Bangkok, Feb 23, 2012 -Sonnedix Group and First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) today announced the completion of the Nakhon Ratchasima Solar Farm in Khorat region, northeastern Thailand. The 7.5 megawatt (MW) (DC) solar power plant-one of the biggest to-date in Thailand-was built by Sonnedix with support of Assyce Fotovoltaica and Ch. Karnchang Group using around 95,000 of First Solar's innovative, thin-film solar modules.
"As a global solar independent power producer whose management has an extensive track record of more than fifteen years in Asia," said Sonnedix Chairman Franck Constant. "We are confident that this project, our first to become operational in Thailand, will serve as a strong base for our strategy of developing and building utility-size world-class solar farms and large rooftop solar power plants. It is our view that solar PV should be a mainstream power source in Thailand."
"The completion of the Nakhon Ratchasima Solar Farm is a considerable achievement and supports our commitment, shared with the Thai government, of reducing fossil fuel dependence and greenhouse gas emissions," said Jack Curtis, First Solar Vice President, Sales and Business Development. "We believe that this project and others like it in Thailand will greatly benefit from our low-cost, environmentally leading technology, which has the smallest carbon footprint of any current PV technology."
"We are delighted to have partnered with the Sonnedix Group on this project in Thailand and to be working with Thai authorities as they increasingly adopt utility-scale PV solar as a clean, affordable source of renewable energy," said Kevin Berkemeyer, First Solar Senior Manager, Business Development. "We look forward to helping Thailand meet its energy needs and enhancing its energy security."
Covering around 20 hectares, the Nakhon Ratchasima Solar Farm can supply enough electricity to meet the annual needs of about 5,100 average Thai homes. It is expected to generate more than 10,500 megawatt hours of clean, green electricity per year, offsetting carbon dioxide emissions of more than 6,500 tons a year. A Buddhist inauguration ceremony took place at the power plant last week.
The modules in the project are covered by First Solar's industry-leading, prefunded module and recycling program.
About First Solar, Inc.

The company is delivering an economically viable alternative to fossil-fuel generation today.

The U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday and signalled it still planned to raise rates twice in 2016, though it said slower economic growth would crimp the pace of monetary policy tightening in future years.
The central bank's decision to stick with its 2016 rate path, however, appeared shakier, with six of its 17 policymakers projecting just one increase this year. Only one Fed policymaker had done so when economic forecasts were last issued in March.
A sharp slowdown in U.S. hiring in May had fuelled doubts about the strength of the labour market going into the Fed's two-day policy meeting. Fed Chair Janet Yellen acknowledged the need to see clear signs of economic strength before lifting rates.
"We do need to make sure that there's sufficient momentum," Yellen told a news conference.
The Fed also said the economy would grow only 2 percent this year and in 2017, 0.1 percentage point lower than previously forecast for each year.
It also cut its longer-term view of the appropriate federal funds rate, its benchmark lending rate, by a quarter point to 3 percent and indicated it would be less aggressive in raising rates after the end of this year.
Yellen was not clear on whether a rate increase could come at the next policy meeting in late July or whether the central bank would wait for a slew of firmer data as it headed into its September meeting.
"I'm not comfortable to say it's in the next meeting or two, but it could be," Yellen said. "It's not impossible that by July, for example, we would see data that led us to believe that we are in a perfectly fine course."
Yellen said the U.S. economy appeared to have gained momentum since April, but that the labour market had lost some steam.
She acknowledged Britain's possible exit from the European Union was one of the factors in the latest rate decision, saying the 23 June referendum would have "consequences for economic and financial conditions in global financial markets."
Financial markets all but priced out a rate increase this year after the Fed statement, and U.S. short-term interest rate futures contracts rose. U.S. stocks closed lower.

Bachelor in Paradise: Episode 4 Recap
As you can tell, I'm spreading this out longer than ABC decided to. Trying to cram 18 hours of content into 5 weeks is downright cruel. This is especially true given how downright unwatchable 90% of this season of Bachelor in Paradise has been so far. Anyhow – I'll be finishing the season over the next couple of weeks, and for anyone who also has a backlog on their DVR, I'll be doing the lord's work for you – trust me.
Sarah Joins Paradise
Sarah, yet another Nick Viall casualty, joins the cast to "find love" in paradise. I really liked Sarah during Nick's season. She always struck me as someone who was way too good for him. Granted, this an unbelievably low bar, but she came off as the type of person you say things like "she doesn't need to go on TV to find someone" about.
Sarah has a date card and makes a beeline for Adam. Apparently, they cuddled during the production shutdown. All the women take up the cause of their queen bee, Raven and begin aggressively selling Ben to Sarah. To Sarah's credit she does chat with Ben and hears all about his dog for what feels like an eternity. She picks Adam and if we learned anything from Nick's season, Adam may want to tread lightly with Raven unless he wants a stiletto in his ear.
Sarah and Adam's Date
This date is incredibly boring and I won't make you waste the time I wasted watching it. They had food, they danced and seemed to get along ok. Good? Good. The only things that was interesting during this segment were the cuts back to the bar with Wells and Danielle chatting. They made one of those "if we're not married by…" pacts which was an incredibly heavy-handed foreshadowing edit. Classic ABC.
Lacey Boo Hoos
In what has become a recurring theme, Lacey is moping about how she's never been on a 1:1 date. Magically, in the next moment she receives a date card to use as she sees fit. Not so magically, she goes around to each of the men asking them if they went on a date, would it be as just friends? Ben and Matt make it immediately clear that they are permanent residents of the "friend zone". Thankfully (for Lacey) Diggy seems excited and agrees to join her for a date.
Diggy and Lacey's Date
The couple's date turns out to be with our old friend and Paradise bartender, Jorge! Jorge leads the couple on a horseback ride to a secluded beach where they enjoy the scenery for a bit, They dismount and sit down together on the beach. Oddly, Jorge isn't leaving and it's clear this is going to be one of those "zaney" Bachelor scenes. Jorge eventually leaves, they talk a bit and make out some. And yeah, that's about it. Yawn.
We get another ultra staged scene with Wells and Danielle at this time. She tells Wells that she's thinking about going home since she didn't meet anyone, and can't date Wells! Lolz. Wells tells her that she is too good for him. Try harder ABC.
Dominique Arrives
With Dominique's arrival, we get yet another Nick Viall cast-off. Or as we call them here at The Fantazie Suite, survivors. Right after arriving, she catches up with old pal, Taylor. Taylor goes wayyy out of her way to tell her all about Diggy. Lacey, rightfully, is distraught because only a few TV moments later (and as we learn later less than an hour of "real" time), Diggy has his second 1:1 date of the day with Dominique. Taylor takes it upon herself to talk with Lacey to make sure she's ok, but we all see through this and can confirm that Taylor is still basically the worst. For anyone who didn't watch Nick's season, Taylor and Corinne (remember her?!) were rivals. Taylor somehow managed to make Corinne look ok by the end of the season so that should tell you what we're working with.
Dominique and Diggy's date was so low rent, it's not getting its own header. They basically just made out on a couch and then moved the action to a hot tub. The End.
ABC Finally Pays off the Danielle and Wells Tension!
As teased all episode, Danielle is leaving "Paradise" and is saying her goodbyes. She saves her last goodbye for Wells and it actually seems like they may like each other. Like, for real! They chit-chat a bit and Wells offers to walk her out. Just as she's going to get into her car, her and Wells share what amounts to be the least cringe-worthy kiss of the season too far. Clunky execution by ABC but nice to see two genuinely likable people (which is saying a lot for this series) find each other.
Time for Another Talk with Chris Harrison
It's back to the studio for a very special last 30 minutes of "Bachelor in Paradise". We begin with a chat about the shutdown with the cast. They talk about being "blindsided" and concerned about how DeMario's name will show up after all of this. They also claim to be concerned about Corinne but I got the sense that they kind of weren't.
We take a time out to talk with the Bachelor in Paradise newlyweds – Evan and Carly. ABC gives us a montage of their married life – essentially a poor man's "Stars, they're just like US!". Chris Harrison quips that Evan finding Carly gives others hope. That's a pretty mean thing to say, Harrison. Evan may be a weirdo, but I'm pretty sure most women would prefer him to Nick V (the maybe sociopath) or Juan (it's ok) Pablo. Don't even get me started on Jef. This segment is wrapped up with a pregnancy reveal and an on-stage ultrasound which felt super inappropriate – which is saying something.
DeMario Gets a Chance to Speak
The episode wraps up with a conversation with DeMario. He recounted that in the moment when things were shutting down, he was very confused. He didn't know what was wrong and was told it was a 3rd party who complained about him and Corinne. Next we were treated with a montage of all of the news coverage which vilified him and clearly still really bothers him to watch. They discussed all the things that were written about him and how untrue it all was. DeMario let us know that the cast really has supported him throughout which is nice to hear. It was a combination of "family, friends and Kanye West" which got him through the ordeal. We ended things here, but I just hope that DeMario and Corinne can both find some peace after all of this.

The Christmas season can be full of holiday dangers. Each year, thousands of small dogs become seriously injured or ill while their owners are busy with shopping, baking and entertaining.
Pets can become very ill from a variety of common holiday meal items, including table scraps, butter, meat and candy. These foods can result in gastrointestinal upsets and pancreatitis, a painful and sometimes fatal condition.
When these conditions occur, pets might exhibit depression, vomiting, abdominal pain or lack of appetite.
In addition, poisoning from xylitol (a sugar-free ingredient found in baking goods, candy, and chewing gum) can cause a severe blood sugar problem leading to weakness, depression, and seizures.
Chocolate is another common cause of small dog holiday danger. Many types of concentrated chocolate, particularly baking chocolate or dark chocolate, can cause serious health problems depending on the size of the dog.
A small amount of milk chocolate may only cause a stomach ache, but the unsweetened baker's chocolate is another matter.
Concerning non-food holiday dangers, eating tinsel, ornaments and garlands, even drinking holiday tree sap water, can lead to serious stomach irritation.
Another Holiday Danger -- Grapes and Raisins Toxity
Grapes and raisins can be another source of trouble. Laurinda Morris, DVM writes:
"This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1 AM on Wednesday, but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7 AM.
I had heard somewhere about raisins and grapes causing acute renal failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in immediately.
In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something about it, but... Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA Poison Control Center and they said to give IV fluids and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72 hours."
Laurinda goes on to detail the progress of the dog's condition, which ended in complete renal failure within two days. If your small dog eats raisins, be sure to consult your vet right away.
During the holidays, prevention is really the key. Place high risk items and holiday foods out of reach. Dogs also like to chew on electrical cords, gift ribbons and strings.
Watch for symptoms of restlessness, tremors, seizures, vomiting and diarrhea and seek immediate veterinary treatment for them. Of course, our companion's health and well being is a responsibility that goes beyond just the holidays.
Cotton Ball Remedy
If you think your small dog has eaten something like sharp chicken bones or glass shards, get a vet exam immediately, but before you leave, try this gem from an old country vet's repertoire:
Using a natural (not synthetic) cotton puff for every two pounds of your dog's body weight, soak them in half and half. Feed them to your dog. Soaked in the fatty liquid the cotton balls will be soft and yummy.
Once inside, they will most likely wrap themselves around the sharp shards, which will then work their way harmlessly through your dog's system.
I tried this once on an adventurous Parson's Russell who was staying with us, after she ate a hard plastic dog bowl. Her stools looked like little mummies for a couple of days, but she was fine. Do consult with your vet but feed the cotton balls first. Time is of the essence.
Don't let innocent holiday traditions jeopardize the health of your pet. Evaluate the potential risks of your holiday decorations, plants and meals (see chart below).
And, in the hustle and bustle of the season, remember regular feeding and exercise schedules and be certain to give your small dog lots of love as you start off the New Year.
Be Aware of These Holiday Dangers:
• Raisins
• Xylitol
• Chocolate especially baking chocolate
• Candles and hot wax
• Candies, chocolate and foil wrappers
• Alcoholic beverages
• Electrical cords
• Ribbon, string and yarn
• Metal ornament hooks
• Tree tinsel and confetti
• Carving and kitchen knives/blades
• Fireworks
• Rich, fatty foods and table scraps
• Rubber bands
• Beads and buttons
• Poinsettias, holly, mistletoe and greens
• Stagnant tree stand water and chemicals
• Intricate or fragile ornaments
• Rock salt and antifreeze
• Poultry bones and meat drippings
• Small holiday lights
• Angel hair (spun glass)
• Artificial snow and snow flocking
• Small toys, especially those with small or unassembled parts

Jefferson's Enduring Creation
By Richard B. Weldon Jr.
ake a trip to Monticello, the home and final resting place of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States of America. Really, if you haven't already, take the trip!
The cultural, historical, architectural and agricultural lessons to be learned are equal parts inspiring and humbling. That it all sprang from the mind and heart of one man may be the most impressive aspect of the visit.
A must-see is his final resting place. This man-of-enumerable talents, this true renaissance figure, lies beneath a tomb inscribed with the following epitaph:
"Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia."
No mention of his two terms as president, his governorship, time in the Virginia House of Burgesses or his experiences abroad as Secretary of State or trade minister.… Read More

Boots have a lovely offer on Pampers items at the moment where you can buy two and get one free on selected items in the range. If you order three boxes of Mega Nappies it works out at £37.98 for 288 nappies which saves you a whammy of cash off the usual price on these Mega boxes.
Our intrepid HUKD deal reporter was very cunning when she made her purchase for this deal. She bought three mega boxes of Pampers Baby Dry nappies, added in some extra bits and pieces (also on sale, obviously) to take the total to £40 so she could get free delivery, and then she added in a voucher code to get some extra money off the final price.
The voucher code PCMN33 will quietly remove money from your total and the ton of Pampers nappies will keep you stocked up for ages. While not a super deal, this is an excellent price on Pampers nappies and ideal for those parents who prefer them.

Senator David Perdue: We Need To Protect The Free-Enterprise System
Wednesday, August 14th, 2019
U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) addressed over 2,000 business and community leaders at Georgia Chamber of Commerce's annual congressional luncheon.
Best State For Business: "After four and a half years as the outsider in the belly of the beast, let me tell you: Washington could learn a lot from Georgia. Georgia has been named the best state in the country in which to do business for six straight years. That did not happen by accident. We have a tax structure that encourages capital investment, a regulatory environment that allows for innovation and risk-taking, and a state government that funds its operation on time."
Jumpstarting The Economy: "After eight years of the lowest economic growth in U.S. history, President Trump said that job one was to grow the economy. I was in the Oval Office two weeks after President Trump was inaugurated to help determine the agenda for the first two years. We decided to focus on regulations, energy, taxes, and Dodd-Frank in order to get the economy going."
Unleashing The Free-Enterprise System: "We're letting the free-enterprise system work, and as a result, we are now experiencing the greatest economic turnaround in U.S. history. We have created over six million new jobs. We have the lowest total unemployment in 50 years and the lowest African-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic unemployment ever measured. We have the highest middle-class income in the history of our country."
Period Of Prosperity: "We are setting ourselves up for a period of continued growth if we so choose. However, because of extremism in our political process, America could choose not to do that."
What's At Stake: "Make no mistake: the free-enterprise system is under attack in America. If you participate in the free-enterprise system — and I know you do — you cannot sit by and watch the development of a central government-managed economy. I've worked under these conditions in other countries. Trust me, if we don't stand up for the free-enterprise system, we're going to lose the ability to do all the things we need to do as a society. You and I need to stand together and tell the world that we will never let anyone threaten the free-enterprise system in America."

Be careful not to get too much education
Here's a bone-chilling article about the push from the right, particularly the religious right, to dumb down and censor schools and colleges for fear that education, particularly scientific education, will make you a dreaded liberal. There is truth to this. For instance, it's much harder to be against abortion when you realize that a fetus looks more like a headless lizard than a baby in the early stages. And being educated about evolution makes it pretty hard to believe in the literal Bible, casting doubt on things like, oh, the nearness of the Rapture. Which means that you have to do stuff like care about the enviroment, which is a drag.
Of course, if you mull it over, it's easy to see that it isn't just science that is an obstacle to unquestioning belief that God is a Republican. There are so many facts that could cause doubt and questioning all over the place. For instance, if you learn that Michaelango and Shakespeare had a touch of the gay to them, it becomes difficult to believe that homosexuality is this brand new thing that indicates the imminent fall of the American empire. Learning that many of our Founding Fathers weren't Christian makes the argument for a theocracy a little harder to swing. Learning that throughout most of Christianity's history, some Christians thought that we were in the End of Days might make you question if we really are right now.
Frankly, even knowing how to read is problematic, because then you can read the Bible and discover by accident that it contains many internal contradictions, making it difficult to take it so literally.
I think we can safely say that if the right gets their way on "balancing" science with religious malarkey, they will probably not stop there, as there is far too much education that is threatening.

Blessings for your Sunday
I find it a great comfort indeed that even in our smallness when all that swirls threatens to consume us, when all that threatens to consume us seems immeasurably great, when all that is dark and evil looks to eclipse the world, that the Lord our God still finds us. As we cry out to him even in our smallness, when we cannot find him, he finds us.
Blessings for your Sunday. — VKS

|24 Tirthankara in a Jain symbol
|Jain Tirthankara idol
1. What is the religion Jainism?
2. Who is the founder of Jainism in India?
3. What are the basic beliefs of Jainism?
I am trying to answer all three one by one.
1. The first question is What is the religion Jainism?
The word Jain is derived from "Jina" a Sanskrit word, that means conqueror. One, who has conquered one self, one's cravings, desires, anger, greed etc is a Jina. A Jina, after achieving omniscience, preaches the path of liberation. One who follows Jina's preaching is a Jain and doctrine o a Jina is Jainism.
2. The second question is Who is the founder of Jainism in India?
Jainism is eternal. Hence, there is no question of any founder. However, "Tirthankara" reestablish and restrengthen basic principles of Jainism from time to time and those reestablishing the Dharma are called founder many times.
Rishabhdev Adinath is the first Tirthankara in this Avasarpini era (Half-time-cycle according to Jain faith) and Lord Mahavira is the 24th and last. Rishabhdev is a prehistoric figure whereas Mahavira is well known to modern historians. Rishabhdev is a founder of Jainism for laymen and many one mistakes Mahavira as a founder of Jainism in India.
3. The third question is What are the basic beliefs of Jainism?
As I indicated in first answer that basic goal of Jainism is liberation, liberation from all sorrows by eliminating all Karma bondage. Jainism believes that an individual Atman (Soul) moves in birth cycles and face miseries due to ignorance (Mithyatwa-Ajnyan). When that mundane soul comes into contact of an omniscient or an enlightened person and have faith on that enlightened; the mundane soul starts getting wisdom. Gradually, by virtue of A. Right view 2. Right knowledge and 3. Right conduct, he or she liberates himself or herself.
1. Ahimsa 2. Satya 3. Asteya 4. Brahmacharya and 5. Aparigraha are main five vows (Vrata) related to right conduct.

Governor Bevin knows that for businesses to thrive in Kentucky, the Commonwealth must cut through the red tape of excessive and complex regulatory burdens that continue to be a hardship for many small business owners. While these types of regulations can be effective and even protect public interests, they can also stifle economic growth, impose high costs on businesses and impede private sector investment.
Gov. Bevin is committed to restraining runaway government and re-empowering citizens. With your help, his Red Tape Reduction Initiative will identify costly, ineffective or outdated regulations and conduct a thorough review. The end goal is to allow businesses to operate in a modernized regulatory system that provides them with the flexibility they need to serve their customers.
If you are aware of a regulation that you believe to be outdated, unnecessary or overly complex, let us know by filling out this form. All suggestions will be reviewed and evaluated.

Against All Saints Primary Belmont Primary again got a 2-1 result with Cadogan beating Joshua Husbands 21-12 and Hinds thrashing Tijah Bishop 21-4. However Lopey found stiff opposition from Najae Hinds and eventually succumbed 19-21.
In the third match-up All Saints got their first victory with a 2-1 result over the winless St Lawrence. Nanton, who had played so well against Belmont Primary, defeated St Lawrence's best player in Hinds 23-21, while Husbands beat Nurse 21-7 and Bishop defeated Cox 21-9.

1. If you don't like getting killed don't go there ! Kind like putting your hand in a fire and being mad at the fire for burning you, duh.
2. I have played here a long time and been the PVP quite a few times don't ever remember seeing an uber (lvl 100) player there.
3. A player like you would not carry enough loot to pay for the ammo they would use to kill you, even if it took only a single shot.
4. Why would you go there anyway, nothing there for you.
Lastly, this is a great game, IMO, enjoy the scenery, the hunting, mining and all the other things you can do. Butch up and don't act like a 12 year old, OFC in less you are one.
BTW you can forget MA on this one, unless you depo 100K.

About :: The ferry connecting the North and South banks of the Helford River has been running continuously since the Middle Ages.
Then, it was a vital link for the communities providing transportation for local produce to the markets in Falmouth.
The cart and driver travelled on the ferry and the horse swam along behind! These days travel is slightly more conventional and the ferry is purely a passenger ferry although bicycles, dogs and pushchairs can all be accommodated.
Timetable :: The ferry will run on demand between 9.30am and 5.00pm. During July and August, the ferry will run between 9.30am and 9.00pm 7 days a week, however, please check on their facebook page 'Helford River Boats Ltd' for daily updates
