New York, Feb 22: Scientists have synthesised a molecular system that, like DNA, can store and transmit information, suggesting there could be an alternative genetic system for life that may be possible on other worlds.
The team, led by Steven Benner at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Alachua, Florida, successfully achieved the fabrication of a new informational molecular system that is like DNA, except in one key area: the new molecule has eight informational ingredients instead of four.
The synthetic DNA includes the four nucleotides present in Earth life -- adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine -- but also four others that mimic the structures of the informational ingredients in regular DNA.
The result is a double-helix structure that can store and transfer information, according to the research appearing in the journal Science Magazine.
They dubbed the creation "hachimoji" DNA (from the Japanese "hachi" meaning "eight," and "moji" meaning "letter"). Hachimoji DNA meets all the structural requirements that allow our DNA to store, transmit and evolve information in living systems.
"By carefully analysing the roles of shape, size and structure in hachimoji DNA, this work expands our understanding of the types of molecules that might store information in extraterrestrial life on alien worlds," said Benner.
This new molecular system, which is not a new life form, suggests scientists looking for life beyond Earth may need to rethink what they are looking for.
This study opens the door to further research on ways life could structure itself in environments that we consider inhospitable, but which might be teeming with forms of life we have not yet imagined, the researchers said.
"Life detection is an increasingly important goal of NASA's planetary science missions, and this new work will help us to develop effective instruments and experiments that will expand the scope of what we look for," said Lori Glaze, acting director of NASA's Planetary Science Division.

Im in for the challenge too. Which also includes challenging myself to get up earlier to enjoy the quiet time.
I'm so glad you posted this. I read the Real Happiness book not long ago and it really transformed my practice. It basically taught me how to meditate on my own. Meditation is one of those things that evolves over time but it is incredibly life changing, especially once you do it consistently. Your patience levels increase drastically and the little things that stress you out or bother you, no longer matter. You basically get to the point where life is filled with mostly the things you value and the stressors (while still there) no longer take up as much of your mental energy.That being said, I signed myself up for the Feb Challenge just now because I started feeling so good from my consistent practice that I got lazy the last few weeks and stopped doing it! And oh man do I feel the negative effects. I'm grumpy, emotional, and starting to get insecure. I know how incredibly important meditation is but I need to start sitting consistently again to reap the benefits.
I've done this for two days now and I really appreciate the tips and Salzberg's calming voice. I need to go back and do the first two days, maybe in the evenings this week. Today's (day 5) was especially good, reminding us to go easy on ourselves and not be too judgey when our minds wander (or any other time either). For many many years I just didn't understand this about meditation, that it was okay when your mind went monkey on you because it happens to every mind. I think a lot of people who think they can't meditate don't realize that it's such a forgiving practice. How is it going for everybody else?
Meditation is something that I know that I need to learn how to do, but can never really get into.Even when I try to do breathing exercises, I can count to maybe 8 breaths at most until I lose focus.I heard about a book called "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics" and it sounds perfect for me, but I'm too fidgety and skeptical to track it down ...
I'm struggling with finding time to do this without being a time of day I fall asleep! I think I may start over on the weekend.
Several of you have mentioned her book, but my libraries don't seem to have it. Would you say it's worth purchasing? Does it come with a cd/dvd of the guided meditations?
Quote from: Duchess of Stratosphear on February 08, 2018, 07:28:29 AMSeveral of you have mentioned her book, but my libraries don't seem to have it. Would you say it's worth purchasing? Does it come with a cd/dvd of the guided meditations?It comes with a CD with guided meditations (different than the ones from the challenge). I enjoyed it and would consider purchasing it.
Just saw this posted from a fellow/podcaster I regularly listen to..it's the fidgety skeptic meditator! Haven't listened yet but hopefully this weekend.:)http://www.richroll.com/podcast/dan-harris-2/
@palebluedot, I read your username in Carl Sagan's voice, and it makes me happy.
Quote from: wordnerd on February 08, 2018, 03:21:17 PM@palebluedot, I read your username in Carl Sagan's voice, and it makes me happy.Right on! Reading things in Sagan's voice makes everything better. I recently made a wallpaper for my phone with just a quote from Carl. I deleted all my home apps and keep a clean page. I attached it if you want to use it (or if you need a customized made let me know) :-)
Serendip--glad to hear it works for you. And, interesting about increasing meditation time. I have noticed that a bit, though my sessions aren't particularly long at this point. To put in economic terms, it seems like there are diminishing marginal returns to increased time meditating and, at some point, the returns turn negative. Or maybe, I just don't understand meditating yet. :)

It doesn't seem possible but this time, eight years ago I was getting ready to begin my new life with a comedy name. I wasn't nervous, not about the impending nuptials or about committing my life to one person – I was more anxious about my guests not throttling each other.
Now I've been married to my greatest mate for eight years and it feels massive – not an achievement in the traditional sense but something to be proud of
Marriage isn't and shouldn't be for everyone – there's no reason it should be the only end game for a person when there are so many cool things to see and do in life. Obviously it's also fine if it is. For me it was never on my list, along with motherhood but it just works.
So here's to eight years with the kindest person I've ever known. The one person who sees all of me, the good and the very bad, who's always there to tell me we'll deal with anything and everything together.
He is my fool and the strong hand when I need it – and most of all he makes me feel at peace, with myself and with the life we have. I wouldn't change a single thing.
Here's to eighty more.

The Bio filter media is selected as a main raw material for several kinds of polyolefins and polyamides, which are resistant to corrosion, temperature and aging, and mixed with hydrophilic, absorbent, heat-resistant oxygen and other additives, and adopts special wire drawing. It is manufactured by the silk hair processing technology. Due to the excellent material selection and process formula, the Bio filter media can be stretched in a three-dimensional and uniform manner in an effective area, and the gas, water, and biofilm can be fully mixed and contacted and exchanged,and do a good metabolism.
Due to the special nature of materials, Bio filter media should not be stored in open air for long periods of time, and should be protected from direct UV radiation and freezing cold. When assembling and suspending biological fillers, they should be tightened so as to avoid mutual winding during operation. Soaking in fresh water, and a short period of aeration, to maximize the stretch of the silk, to ensure the quality of water.
There are also many common types of Bio filter media. One is a semi-soft filler consisting of a single piece of packing, a plastic casing, and a central rope. It has a special structure and hydraulic properties. It has a large porosity and a small flow resistance. When the water passes through the packing layer, a clear turbulent flow state can be generated, the contact efficiency between the water and the biofilm can be increased, and the ability of removing the contaminant can be increased. Not only that, but also a certain degree of rigidity and flexibility of the filler, with a strong re-distribution of water, gas capacity.
The other is a combination of fillers, which focus on the soft and semi-soft structural characteristics, which are also subdivided into modular double ring packing, modular porous ring packing, elastic three-dimensional packing and other varieties to meet different application needs. There is also an elastic three-dimensional filler. The filler is made of all-plastic material and has a longer life than the soft filler. Each filament vibrates when aerated. Therefore, the gap of the filler is variable without clumping or blocking and the biofilm is easy to be updated. At present, more hydrolytic acidification stages are used in the treatment of refractory organics to improve the biodegradability of wastewater.
In addition, the suspension filler is also a kind of Bio filter media. It exists in suspension in the aeration tank and its amount is about 20% to 70% of the aeration tank volume, like multi-faced hollow ball filler, built-in type Float packing can belong to suspension type bio-filler.

Ugh. Do you know what month it is? Other than November… I mean, that's obvious. But apart from that. Do you know what month it is?
National Novel Writing Month.
The month where participants attempt to write an entire novel in the span of thirty days. They even have this awesome webpage for it. You can sign up and do lots of fun things. It's pretty awesome.
Except it makes me super depressed.
I have been working on my novel for three years and I haven't completed a frist draft. Yes, I have revamped the chapters I have done, but I haven't been able to power through. And now I"m at this huge writer's block. I think I might even dislike my novel.
Stupid Chapter Nine. I thought I had figured out a way to fix it but no…
This is my sulking post. I will suck it up after this one and power through. Because as Ellen Kushner said this summer, "It might be shit but at least it's shit you've got on the page and can work with" (or some variant of that…)
Maybe I could just skip over Chapter Nine and work on another one… I don't know. Creative juices aren't flowing as much as I would like for them too. Ugh. Woe is me.
OKAY! I'm done!
New goal: I will get Chapter Nine written by the end of November.
Loftier goal: I will finish my book by the end of November.
All starting tomorrow…


text: It is widely recognized that women and young people are primary victims of conflict. During war, women are displaced, subjected to sexual violence and HIV/AIDS by fighting forces, and assume the caretaking role for children and the elderly. They are vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, sexual slavery, disease, and forced recruitment into armed groups. Yet as the survivors of violent conflict, women also bear the burden of reconstruction. They return to destroyed communities and begin the process of rebuilding infrastructure; restoring and developing traditions, laws, and customs; and repairing relationships. In government and through civil society, women worldwide are contributing to all pillars of stabilization and reconstruction operations: security, governance, justice and reconciliation, and socioeconomic development. Indeed, their leadership in the transition period can serve as a window of opportunity to empower women, promote gender equality, advance women's position in society, and bring wider benefits to many elements of society. A growing body of research has shown that capitalizing on the activities of women peacebuilders not only advances women's rights, but leads to more effective programs and, ultimately, to a more sustainable peace.

War chest: The cost of fighting Sekisui's approval
OPPONENTS of the Sekisui House Yaroomba development approval will mount a mammoth fundraising campaign to meet appeal costs that may run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Development Watch, Save Yaroomba and Coolum Residents Association have picked themselves back up from the disappointment of Sunshine Coast Council's 6-5 decision to approve the project, which includes a resort hotel and more than 700 residential apartments, and have started work on an estimate of fees to appeal the decision.
The cost could be in the order of $350,000.
Maroochydore MP Fiona Simpson has also spoken out calling for Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey to explain why his department had "waved through" its role without addressing identified impacts the development's increased density would bring to the state's road network.
Meetings were held yesterday and the community groups would come together tomorrow to determine strategy and to plan a fundraising campaign to meet the enormous legal costs involved.
Sekisui House development manager Evan Aldridge has said the company would defend the approval against any court challenge. He said the benefits of his company's controversial hotel and residential development would be proved when it was delivered.
Development Watch president Lyn Saxton said she had been overwhelmed by the number of people calling to ask how they could contribute.
With 9200 people having made submissions opposing the development, Development Watch believed it had the capacity to meet the cost of planning lawyers and environmental, traffic, flooding, economic and other experts to support its appeal if necessary.
"Some can offer $100, others will give a lot more," Ms Saxton said.
"We are going ahead with an appeal to the planning and environment court.
"We will file notice of appeal after Sekisui House accepts all the conditions of approval which could take three weeks or more."
She said 4500 of the submissions opposing the development had come from the 4573 code (Coolum/Yaroomba) with the rest from across the Sunshine Coast.
"People are very angry," Ms Saxton said.
"The decision does not make sense. It's not a good outcome for tourism. It's a massive residential development with a tiny tourism component.
"We have received planning advice from the beginning of the submission period. We think we have a very good case from a planning perspective.
"There was no need to over-ride the planning scheme to put a hotel on this site."
She said the groups were seeking legal advice on whether it would be necessary to appeal the development approval decision or to attack the application to over-ride the planning scheme that would be required to accommodate it.
Ms Sexton said if they were able to win at that level, an appeal against the development approval would be unnecessary.
Mr Aldridge told the Sunshine Coast Daily last week the proposed Westin Resort and Spa would have a strong focus on attracting conferences and events.
"We want to bring them back to the Coast," he said.
"They currently don't look at the Sunshine Coast for those medium-sized events."
He said Sekisui House would keep the community updated on progress at the site.
"Plus we've always had a strong focus on making sure that there is local participation from local businesses and trades," Mr Aldridge said. "Part of that process is actually making sure that they're informed about what works and possibilities are coming up for them."

In September 1519 began building of what was to become, at the urging of François I, the most astounding construction of the French Renaissance : the château of Chambord. Five hundred years later, the National Estate of Chambord is planning to celebrate the anniversary by organizing numerous festivities including an exhibition that will be at once retrospective and prospective, connecting the past with the future under the auspices of utopia.
In the image of the double helix staircase, sublime metaphor of perpetual renewal, the challenge posed on the eve of the 500th anniversary of Chambord is to convey to a wide-ranging public the breathtaking beauty and deep-seated singularity of a monument indissociably conjoined with its estate.
2019 will also mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci in Amboise and the birth of Catherine de' Medici. The half millennium of the Renaissance in Val de Loire will likewise be celebrated under the aegis of the Centre-Val de Loire region with Stéphane Bern as sponsor and ambassador.

Karachi, April 30, 2012: JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited has revised the medium to long term entity rating of The First Micro Finance Bank Limited (FMFB) from 'A+' (A Plus) to 'A' (Single A), while short term rating has been maintained at 'A-1' (A-One). Outlook on the assigned rating is 'Stable'.Given the geographical spread of FMFB's branches, its operations have been adversely affected by floods & rains in the last two years. In view of this, FMFB has not been able to keep pace with growth in the sector. A significant increase in non-performing loans has been reported in 1Q12, with PAR-30 as high as 11%, as the financial impact of floods in 2011 trickled down after year-end, given the bullet structure of majority of loans. Equity injection aggregating Rs. 361.5m in FY11 & FY12 has allowed the institution to absorb the impact of such losses, though profitability may continue to remain under pressure in the on-going year.Liquidity profile of the bank remains sound. As lending activity remained restricted in FY11, fresh deposits mobilized during the year were largely channeled into liquid avenues. Moreover, there is an improvement in the mix of deposits as reflected in the concentration related indicators in addition to which, the cost of funds also adjusted downwards slightly during FY11. Given the decline in proportion of higher yielding advances to total assets, net markup margin however declined during FY11. Asset mix needs to be optimized to improve earnings profile.The bank is projecting significant growth in lending operations. The credit policy has also been re-visited. Going forward, the bank plans to diversify its product suite, with an effort to minimize risks associated with agricultural lending and group loans. In lieu of this, pilot test of new products has already been initiated.There has been instability at senior management positions. Moreover, some key positions are still vacant, for which hiring is in process. Recently, Mr. Amir Masood Khan has been appointed as Advisor to the Chairman, while the bank awaits the State Bank of Pakistan's approval for his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. Stability in management will be important in realizing the strategic blueprint laid down for the organization.For further information on this rating announcement, please contact Mr. Javed Callea (Ext: 501) or Ms. Sobia Maqbool, CFA (Ext: 506) at 35311861-72 or fax to 35311873.Jamal Abbas ZaidiDeputy CEO

Buddy Ride is described as a ride share app that allows people to request and give rides in accordance to a user's location. When a request is taken, the app gives the information of the vehicle coming to pick the user up.

How to create a MakerSpace at home
Here is another post from our new series, Of Art + Technology.
Tis the season for gift-giving and receiving. While the average kid may have a wish list of games and tech toys that level up and allow you to see in virtual spaces, many of these tech treats are passive activities that while innovative, don't allow your kids to be the innovator. Learning by making, as a concept and a tool of instruction, has been around for ages now and is highly beneficial given the fact that concepts and skills learned through doing are bound to sink in better than the ones which are learned theoretically, passively or by rote. Today, learning-by-making, or MakerSpace has been adopted by many schools and educational institutions into their curriculum. Using a whole range of kid-friendly tools, apparatus and instructional videos on the internet, kids can be encouraged to have a more active interaction with the concepts of art, science and technology. In simpler terms - kids can learn to make their own tech toys.
A MakerSpace is such a learning/play/tinker space where kids can experience science and technology creatively to enhance their academic and personal learning. It's a space where they design, create, iterate and explore their own imagination.
Making a Makerspace
1. Do your homework
Research the various types of MakerSpaces that are already operational around. The type of tools and tinkering challenges they offer. If possible join a Makers community to get a hands-on idea about the logistics behind the scene and the expected outcomes.
2. Define and plan challenges
What are the challenges that your MakerSpace will offer? The challenges, like any preparatory lesson or pre-assessment, allow kids to test their interests and ingenuity by limiting their time and materials or having a desired "product outcome" For example, students may have to build a 3D model house with open windows, etc only using paper, tape and scissors. Plan how the space will help in offering these challenges. Makerspaces work best as collaborative spaces where kids can explore, experiment and observe each other's process. What will be the culture of the space, as in, will it be planned and in accordance to a curriculum or will the kids take the lead? Design the space to accommodate the aforementioned points. This may mean co-oping a spare room, using a roller trolley packed with supplies and a corner of the living room, or even partnering with the free library or other community spaces.
3. Purchase resources
Based on your plan and design of the space, you will now need to pick up your tools. If you are working on a shoestring budget, there are a lot of DIY tutorials you can follow to create this space. The idea is to offer a safe and motivating environment to the kids to explore their creativity.
4. Build a community
Host some workshops, invite other homeschooled children around to participate, ask your church, homeschool co-op and/or community centers to sponsor maker events, and use your MakerSpace to build a community of sorts. Get in touch with MakerSpaces across the country to explore new ideas and participate in challenges.
Integrating MakerSpace into Curriculum
Whether you end up building an elaborate MakerSpace or a DIY sorts in your closet, make sure the challenges and projects from it are well integrated with your homeschooling curriculum. By focusing on the transferable skills like iteration, observation, collaboration and documentation (older kids can keep a workbook/journal to document their "experiments"), the makerspace format can be used to unpack most content. Picture the MakerSpace as an extension to your classroom or a practical lab where your children can experiment with the concepts that they learn theoretically. While the idea of building an entire MakerSpace within your home or co-op might seem daunting at first, you will soon realize that all it takes it a little bit of planning and creativity to get started!
Still a bit unsure about what all this makerspace stuff is about? Check out this Edutopia video that takes makerspace and tinkering to a new level!

Deuteronomy 11:18 - 21
You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to your ancestors to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

Well, just got back to the hotel from the theater. This is the second go-around for me, and of course....the Welk Reunion Show was flawess, excellent and stunning!
But first, my adventures in the Land of the Vegas Ozarks for Thursday.
Woke up about 6:30am, showered and got dressed....and headed outside to my surprise, NO RAIN! It was cloudy, cool and overcast but in a pleasant way. I made the all-important choice to head for Krispy Kreme for some tasty doughnuts and that hit the spot.
Later on, after my daily pow-wow with the Welknotes gang at the Stage Door Canteen. It was back in my Olds to Highway 76 where today it was off to Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theatre where the headliners are Bill Medley along with Paul Revere and the Raiders....I didn't see the show but did visit the gift shop.
Taking advantage of the improved weather, I visited Branson's historic downtown area....where the shopping is plentiful. I even found some nice flea markets where I got two vintage Lawrence Welk albums! Also, there was this throwback five and dime where I found some cool stuff such as funny bumper stickers and Mexican jumping beans (seriously!).
No trip to Branson was complete without a visit the the Grand-daddy of Highway 76 shows, the Presley Family Julibee. It's not Elvis, but these Presleys are a talented lot of Ozark hillbilly mountain performers....they along with Silver Dollar City put Branson on the map!
For lunch, it was back to the American Bandstand.....this time, Dick Clark's AB Grille where I munched on a savoury Smokehouse burger and fries topped with a Pepsi....and was surrounded by memorbilla from the show.
Sadly, the Dancing Gino (Official Victory Cigar for the Boston Celtics) didn't show.....vacation officially out the door.
Before going back to the hotel, I stopped off at the Wal Mart for some quickie errands....sadly did not find Andy Williams there doing some shopping. Then checked out the Branson Mall where only in these neck of the woods where you can get live entertainment in the food court. A Johnny Cash tribute artist was holding a concert near the Sbarro and the Panda Express.
.....only in America.
Back at the resort, I FINALLY got to play some of that miniature golf....and I sucked (Not one Hole-In-One), so much for my dreams of being the Tiger Woods of Putt Putt.
And that leads to tonight's concert....great show, gotta wrap things up and go to bed. I'm heading back home....750 plus miles without AC....so much fun.
Good night, and keep a song in your heart!

WASHINGTON (AP) – Two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer is scheduled to pitch Game 3 of Washington's NL Division Series against the Chicago Cubs, after Gio Gonzalez starts Game 2.
Nationals manager Dusty Baker finally announced his rotation plans, just a few hours before Game 1 of the series begins on Friday night.
Scherzer's playoff debut this year was delayed because he tweaked his right hamstring in his last regular-season appearance.
For Gonzalez, 15-9 with a 2.96 ERA, it will be his fifth career postseason start but only second at home. The other came in 2012, when he was staked to a 6-0 lead in the deciding Game 5 of an NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals but Washington wound up losing 7-5.
Washington's Game 1 batting order includes 2015 NL MVP Bryce Harper hitting second, followed by Anthony Rendon, Daniel Murphy and Ryan Zimmerman.

Mumbai: Criticism of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is still considered blasphemous by many, who feel his contribution is immense and sacrosanct. But years after his death he has been brought down from the pedestal many a time, much to the chagrin of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
His overriding love for great principles, notwithstanding, his inability to take timely decisions, his failure to work in tandem with iron men like Sardar Patel, and his intimacy with the Mountbattens or Sheikh Abdullah, who had their own axe to grind, worked as a blindfold. So much so that he was hemmed in and could not further India's interests to the extent he should have. The consequences have been tragic and the muddle created 64 years ago remains just that.
Had Patel been nominated Prime Minister or had more of a free hand and had Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose been around and stayed in the Congress, India's destiny would most likely have been different. Nehru needed to be more amenable and should have given more credence to colleagues like Patel later and Netaji earlier.
Subhas Bose's presence then or the lack of it, has never been fully debated and has remained veiled. Infosys chief N R Narayana Murthy's scathing observations recently, where he said Netaji would have led India past China and would have been a foil to conservative Nehru, throws more light on where the first Prime Minister went wrong.
It was in 1946. The Working Committee and Pradesh Committees of the Indian National Congress (INC) had to make the most critical choice of its history – elect its president – who would become the first Prime Minister of Independent India. There were three candidates in the running – Acharya Kripalani, Sardar Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru. Sardar Patel was the clear frontrunner, with 12 out of 19 Pradesh Committees backing him. None backed Nehru.
However, despite being the popular choices in the INC, first Kripalani and then Patel had to withdraw their nominations on Mahatma Gandhi's insistence, so that "Nehru could be elected unopposed". Gandhi unabashedly backed Nehru for the Congress president's post under the pretext: "Jawaharlal cannot be replaced today whilst the charge is being taken from the British. He, a Harrow boy, a Cambridge graduate, and a barrister, is wanted to carry on the negotiations with the Englishmen." Dr Rajendra Prasad later said: "Gandhi has once again sacrificed his trusted lieutenant for the sake of the glamorous Nehru."
Call it an irony of fate. Life came a full circle for Patel. In 1939, when Netaji Subhas Chandra decided to seek re-election to the Congress president's post, Patel had sided with Gandhi to support Pattavi Sitaramaiya's candidature. Patel had openly criticised Bose for seeking re-election. But, Bose was not Patel, and he went ahead with his decision, defying the Mahatma's dictat. He was re-elected with an overwhelming mandate.
Soon, the conflicting aspects in Nehru's persona came to the fore. On the one hand, he was a democrat and a revolutionary; on the other, he was often carried away by his 'socialist' ideals to the point of playing with India's destiny.
After his election as Congress president, he gave his support to his friend Sheikh Abdullah (he called him his 'blood brother') who had been jailed by Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir. In June 1946, he decided to go to the valley to free Abdullah. The situation was certainly not shining in Kashmir (as in the rest of India), but to take on the maharaja at this point in time was a serious mistake.
In a letter to D P Mishra, Patel explained: "He [Nehru] has done many things recently which have caused us great embarrassment. His actions in Kashmir … are acts of emotional insanity and it puts tremendous strain on us to set the matters right."
Things came to a head at the end of October 1947 when raiders from the North West Frontier Province entered the state, killing, looting, and raping along. On October 26, they had reached the outskirts of Srinagar. Hari Singh agreed to sign the Instrument of Accession.
On the same day a historic meeting was held in Delhi with Mountbatten, the governor general, as chairman. A young army colonel named Sam Manekshaw, who attended the meeting, recalled: "As usual Nehru talked about the United Nations, Russia, Africa, God Almighty, everybody, until Sardar Patel lost his temper. He said, "Jawaharlal, do you want Kashmir, or do you want to give it away?" He [Nehru] said, "Of course, I want Kashmir." Then he [Patel] said: "Please give your orders." Nehru was still silent. Patel turned to the general and said, "You have your orders."
Nehru wrote letters to Edwina every day, after she left India, until her death. In his letters, Nehru often sought Edwina's advice on matters of governance and strategy, according to British author Janet Morgan who was given access to the correspondence by the Mountbatten family. Morgan was given a small box weighing more than five pounds. The box contained all the letters Nehru wrote to Edwina between 1948 and 1960. A few of them even had a rose pressed between the pages.
According to Morgan, in one of those letters, Pandit Nehru apparently wrote about the embarrassment VK Krishna Menon, India's first high commissioner to the Court of St. James, had become. In another letter, Nehru apprised Lady Mountbatten about how difficult it had become to deal with colleagues in the Congress party. Edwina's reply could not be known as the Nehru-Gandhi family preferred to keep those letters under wraps.
Such letters bear testimony to the fact that Edwina often had a piece of advice for Nehru on political matters. When Edwina died, Nehru's letters were found scattered on her bed. Nehru had sent a wreath of marigolds to be dropped in the English Channel.
Pamela Mountbatten, daughter of Lord Mountbatten and Edwina, in an interview to Karan Thapar on Devil's Advocate, said that the Edwina-Nehru relationship was also of use to her father. And that Lord Mountbatten often appealed to Panditji given the influence Edwina had; this was particularly useful while handling tricky situations like Kashmir.
"He (Lord Mountbatten) did use her (Edwina Mountbatten) in such ways. But he certainly wasn't going to throw her, he didn't say to her 'go and become the Prime Minister's (Nehru) lover, because I need you to intercede.' It was a by-product of this deep affection."
When asked to comment on many people's belief in India that the decision Nehru took to refer the Kashmir issue to the UN was taken under her father's advice. Could that have been an area where Edwina's influence had been particularly useful?
"I think it could have been. Because Panditji, being a Kashmiri, of course, inevitably the emotional side comes in from one's own country, doesn't it? And my father just in dry conversation might not have been able to get his viewpoint over, but with my mother translating it for Panditji and making, you know, appealing to his heart more than his mind that he should really behave like this. I think probably that did happen."
Pamela added, "But what was the important outcome of it all, was really for the good of India. And I think Ms. Gandhi, when she became Prime Minister; she was a very clever politician, an amazing woman. But Panditji was a real statesman, it never occurred to him to make anything out of his position; he never made money out of it. He was the real idealist, for the good of India, always."
Although it is quite hard to believe that Nehru had abandoned principle and patriotism in deference to Edwina's charms, even Patel said: "but in spite of all these innocent indiscretions he has unparalleled enthusiasm and a burning passion for freedom", there is little doubt that he did commit a series of historic blunders. In fact, one of Nehru's biggest blunders was to retain Lord Mountbatten as the Governor General of independent India. Probably, he could not trust any Congress leader for that role, and preferred to rely on a person he "admired" a lot.
The next month Lord Mountbatten put himself in a strange situation, where he as the titular head of India decided to go to Karachi to negotiate a solution to the Kashmir issue with Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Liaquat Ali Khan under the instructions of his 'employer' based in London. For strategic reasons, Britain was inclined towards Pakistan and Mountbatten was reportedly given the responsibility to ensure that India did not take any steps to flush out the infiltrators from Jammu & Kashmir. By the end of 1947, Mountbatten had convinced Nehru to refer the Kashmir issue to the UN. He made Nehru believe that it was the "only solution".
On 20 December 1947, Nehru reluctantly accepted the idea, amid strong opposition from a large section of the Congress leadership, including Sardar Patel. Mountbatten succeeded in implementing the designs of the then British Prime Minister Clement Attlee. On one hand, he continued to highlight the dangers of military escalation to Nehru, on the other, he smuggled confidential information to Attlee. It was during those days when Edwina probably managed to make it "appealing to his heart more than his mind". The events that followed are well known. India's case was buried in the bureaucratic corridors of the UN; the infiltrators were allowed to remain on Indian soil, what later came to be known as Pak Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The latest veiled criticism of Nehru comes from N R Narayana Murthy, Infosys chief. He said on January 23, the 114th birth anniversary of Netaji that India would have seized its opportunities better and faster than China and climbed to the second spot on the world economic ladder by now had Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose played a role in building the nation. "He would have been a perfect foil to Jawaharlal Nehru's more conservative approach to industrialization, opposed the licence raj and might even have prevented Partition."

Three months into a wave of violence some have likened to a new uprising, the Palestinian Authority has found itself adrift and increasingly out of touch with frustrated youths behind the unrest, analysts say.Young Palestinians see little hope of an independent state more than two decades after the Oslo Accords – and many do not feel President Mahmoud Abbas represents their concerns.Palestinian elections have not been held in a decade due to the bitter split between Hamas and Abbas' Fatah, based in the occupied West Bank.Violence since the start of October has claimed the lives of 140 on the Palestinian side, as well as 22 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean.In the early stages of the unrest, PA security forces allowed crowds to approach checkpoints, where they protested and clashed with Israeli security forces.More than 60 percent of the West Bank is already under complete Israeli control.

No release date announced yet. Update: Screens added.
Posted By Kartik Mudgal | On 18th, Feb. 2013 Under News | Follow This Author @KartikMdgl
Sony have released a new trailer for Final Fantasy X HD for the PS Vita at the event they held in Japan today. The PS Vita has also received a price drop and you can check out all the details about that here.
The trailer shows the CG version of Yuna and the Tidus model has also been reworked. You can check out the screens below.
Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto apologised for the delay and also posed with a picture of the game running on the Vita. The game was revealed in 2011 and it seems like they haven't started the development on it yet, considering it's simply inexcusable that it took them two years to assure people that the game is in development.
Dragon's Crown was also revealed at the event and you can check out the new trailer for that here. Hashimoto has said that people should wait for more information about FFX HD in the future. They sure do love to make people wait, don't they?

"Thank You"
April 29, 2008 -
It has been a while………I couldn't not wait any longer…..
I had to write to you all after reading your comments and birthday wishes.
I have never before received over 100 birthday wishes in English, Spanish and even my own language. A poem, songs and so much more.
Thank you!
My birthday started with my mum walking up the stairs and into my room singing "Lang zal ze leven" which is the Dutch version of Happy Birthday. I still have my own room in the house which is on the top floor and as my mum walks the stairs like an elephant (don't worry, she knows, I tell her all the time) I normally wake up just before she knocks on the door.
It has been a long time tradition in our family that on your birthday you get breakfast in bed and then you open all your cards before you get up and get ready for the day.
Even my 4-year-old niece, Sara, did the same when she turned four on April 4. (Her birthday is 04-04-04.)
This time tough, we had breakfast downstairs in the kitchen with so many cards to open and mum had all my favorite things for breakfast ready and a fresh cup of coffee and some juice.
The phone started ringing at 8:30am. My uncle sang Happy Birthday for me and just after that John's mum and dad called and sang Happy Birthday for me in Dutch, which John had taught them. It was perfect and made me think how John's Dutch has improved over the years as he is now teaching himself……I better watch out as I am sure he understands more than he lets me believe…
Anyway, my brother called and I spoke to my niece, she starts talking really well now and loves talking to you on the phone for a veeeeeeery long time. She always asks where Uncle "Sjonnie" is. My brother and his family came to see me the day before, on the Sunday as Monday is a day of work and school etc. We all had dinner together, my brother and his two boys Max and Luc watched their team Feyenoord (the Rotterdam soccer team) win the Cup Final, my mum, sister in law and Sara sat in the garden playing games. It was the perfect day.
The Monday, my actual birthday, mum and I spent the day together. Friends called, e-mailed and sent text messages but I didn't feel like a big celebration. With John being in L.A. and not having my dad here I just wanted it to be mum and I and we had a nice time, unfortunately the weather wasn't too great but who cares….the cake still tasted good!
I suppose, when you get older birthdays are not the same as when you are little. You can't sleep the night before, wondering what presents you will get. Days before you make lists of all the things that you would want for presents, you have to think of who you do and do not want to come to your party, think of the games you want to play and what to have for dinner.
When I was 10 years old, I had nine children in my class. Out of the nine children, there was one girl who I really didn't like…..her name was Natalie. When my mum and I were making invitations for me party I left out her name and my mum told me I had forgotten Natalie. When I told her I didn't want her to come to my party, mum answered with the words "If you won't invite Natalie, there won't be a party." Tough words then….but now I understand and would do the exact same thing if it was my daughter…
So, Natalie was invited, my dad rented a van for the day and we went to the woods where we played all kinds of games and after that we went to a restaurant for my birthday dinner. Natalie and I never became the best of friends but it was a lesson learned.
And now its 25 years later……(ouch, I just gave away my age)…….and I received more birthday wishes than on any of my birthdays.
Thank you also to Stephanie, for the special post and thank you for leaving out my age, I really appreciate it Steph!
Two more days I will fly back home to the U.K. John and I will then start a well-deserved 3-week vacation before we fly to Italy to join our new home, the Carnival Splendor, in Genoa.
After our trip around Europe, (you will love these ports) John went to Southampton for his special visit and then on to L.A. So, after he gets rid of his jet lag we can enjoy some free time together, let's hope the English weather will be nice and we can work on our suntans…. (I am not too certain and visited the sunbed center here a few times called "Sunny Side Up").
Thank you again for all your kind words, I can't wait to see you all either on the Carnival Splendor or on the second Bloggers cruise.
Your friend,

Last week, we had the great pleasure of welcoming Barbara Hueppe to the Mozilla team in Europe, as our European Communications Manager. As part of the marketing team, Barbara's role will encompass running and managing our press activities across Europe.
As I am sure you are aware, being featured in the press has played a large part of driving awareness of Mozilla and our mission. As the project has grown over the years, so has the media interest in our unusual and successful story. Wherever possible we try to give interviews, and have also been keen to share as much news with reporters as we can. Barbara is joining us to action these kinds of requests and also to help lead our efforts in Europe with regard to open source pr. As an organization, we have been embracing what I would call open source PR for many years – all our employees and contributors are encouraged to blog (http://planet.mozilla.org/), and tweet. We distribute our news over these blogs, and very rarely send out a press release. Check out Melissa's blog post from earlier this year regarding why we don't release more press releases: http://icouldntfindanypaper.blogspot.com/2008/05/slow-death-of-press-release.html. More recently we have been able to work together in interviews with our community, and have held interviews with some pretty prominent journalists – such as this one with Abdulkadir Topal a Mozilla localizer from Germany in one of Germany's main newspapers, the Sueddeutsche:
I know a lot of you as Mozilla contributors are also quite often giving interviews. Barbara is keen to continue these kinds of efforts, and I'm sure you'll be hearing more on this very soon.
On Barbara's background, she joins us from PayPal and eBay where she worked in communications for the past 4.5 years. She actually started out as spokesperson for eBay Germany's tech categories, the eBay developers program and supported also the launch of PayPal in Germany. In 2007 she moved to PayPal full time, and was responsible for all PR-activities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. She is new to open source, but very well versed in technology and has a deep understanding and appreciation of community.
Barbara is German, and will be working from a home based office in Berlin, Germany — but she's a very international person. Her degree in English, Spanish and Economics was a great opportunity for her to spend time abroad. She has lived in New York, Vancouver and Granada in Spain to name but a few places. She also has a PhD in American Literature, and admits to enjoy reading really bad books once in a while. 😉
You can follow Barbara's Tweets here:
She is also in the process of setting up a blog – so I'll be sure to let you know the URL when its cooked. You'll be hearing alot more from Barbara soon, as mentioned she's keen to spearhead more discussions on Open Source PR and I'm sure she would love to have your input.
We are delighted to have Barbara join us, and are really excited for EU PR in 2009!

Here's to magin on our mats!
When body, breath and awareness are aligned, a certain kind of magic happens. Distraction falls away and all of you comes together into a greater whole. The posture not only stretches [and strengthens] you in just the right place, it teaches you something about yourself - Yoganand Michael Carroll
June 26th, 2017
Remaining in or returning to presence, and being willing to meet our felt sense experience of the moment by moment unfolding of ourselves and the world is a key aspect of a life lived in yoga... For the next few weeks we'll be exploring a simple (but not always easy) method which comes from Kripalu yoga for helping us to be where, when and as we are.
From Richard Faulds: ...the practice of being present is [our] lantern, a core technique [we] can always come back to when [we] have lost [our] way, a practice [we] can rely on in times of challenge. It consists of the following steps: BREATHE, RELAX, FEEL, WATCH, ALLOW....over time it becomes second nature.
Take a moment to practice right this moment. Let your breath flow naturally in and out, and soften your body , mind and heart just a little.... Feel for all the sensations that are moving through you with all your senses and in all directions neither exaggerating nor resisting them... Bear witness to your experience as it is, without interpretation or story. While what is happening may require a skilful response at some time in the future, release the need, just for now, to change the experience or yourself in any way...
Enjoy your explorations!

London property investment set for record year
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home/alternat/public_html/wp-content/plugins/adsense-booster-manager/adsense-booster.php on line 155
Commercial real estate investment in the City of London is set to match or surpass the £12.6 billion record set in 2014, according to new figures released by Savills.
The global real estate giant has revealed that property investment in the Square Mile for the first three quarters of 2017 has already beaten the overall annual total of £8.07 billion achieved in the previous 12 months by six per cent, with investments reaching £8.5 billion by the end of September.
According to Savills figures, more than 90 real estate investment deals have already been confirmed in the City in 2017, with an average figure of £91.6 million compared to the 2016 average of £52.4 million.
September significantly boosted the total, with three major investments achieving a total figure of £314.53 million. One of these deals saw the acquisition of the 176,392 square foot Aldwych House by a private Hong Kong investor for £250 million. The building is currently home to a number of commercial tenants including WeWork, Wasserman and the London School of Economics.
This isn't the first property in London to have benefited from the rising interest of Hong Kong real estate investors, who have recently flocked to the City to take advantage of stable rental incomes and cheaper money in the UK.
According to Hong Kong-based real estate firm Tenacity, the uncertainties surrounding the Brexit process have also made London a more attractive prospect due to low property prices and the opportunity for lucrative long-term investments.
Last month, the City of London also saw the sale of 8 Bouverie Street to Harbor Group International achieved £48.03 million, which made another significant addition to an already impressive September investment total. The building is currently let to Tipall Ltd and has an unexpired term of 11.9 years.
Felix Rabeneck, director in the central London investment team for Savills, who oversaw almost 40 per cent of property transactions in London this year, suggested that the firm was pleased with the recent success, as well as the predicted success of this lucrative area in the coming months.
He said: "We are still currently monitoring 67 investment opportunities in the City market totalling approximately £7.8bn, of which 20 are currently under-offer, totalling almost £1bn, leaving a substantial amount of available opportunities and therefore plenty of potential for 2017 to overtake 2014's record."
