SAN FRANCISCO -- Box Inc. has made public its plans to raise up to $250 million in an initial public offering, setting the stage for one of the most hotly anticipated offerings to come out of Silicon Valley so far this year.
Box said it plans to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BOX.
The Los Altos, Calif., online storage company plans to use at least half of the net proceeds for sales and marketing and other initiatives to expand its business as it faces growing competition from technology giants such as Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. and well-funded start-ups such as Dropbox Inc.
Box filed confidential papers for an IPO in January, taking advantage of a law that allows start-ups to avoid public scrutiny for a time.
The company, which handles online storage for businesses, made the filing public Monday.
In the filing, Box said revenue was $124.2 million for the year that ended Jan. 31, up from $58.8 million the previous year.
Its loss widened to $168.9 million, from $112.8 million, as Box ramped up spending on sales and marketing 73%. Box said it has $109 million in cash on hand.
The company said it has 25 million registered users and 34,000 organizations as customers.

Bicyclists across Minnesota can now plan their rides using Cyclopath, an online bicycle map and trip planner developed at the University of Minnesota.
Originally launched in 2008 to serve the seven-county Twin Cities metro area, Cyclopath now includes the complete Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) road and state trail network. A simpler version of Cyclopath is also now available as an Android app.
The statewide expansion project was sponsored by MnDOT, which also provided the U of M team with access to data on state roads and trails.
"MnDOT frequently receives requests from the public for long-distance route planning," says Jasna Hadzic, a bicycle and pedestrian planner at MnDOT. "Last year, we updated the print version of the Minnesota Bicycle Map, but we still needed a tool that was more up-to-date and user friendly. Expanding Cyclopath helped us meet that need."
Cyclopath generates personalized bicycle routes for its users. For instance, cyclists can look for routes that minimize distance or that favor bike trails or lanes. It also features a "Bike + Bus" multimodal option that lets cyclists integrate Metro Transit bus routes into their trips. What makes the tool unique is that it allows users to edit the system's maps of roads and trails. Cyclists can add and connect new trails to the map, enter tags to identify characteristics, participate in discussions, and rate roads and trails for "bikeability."
In addition to the statewide expansion, the new version of Cyclopath features a variety of updates to the original online site.
"Cyclopath was retooled to handle the massive amounts of new data," says Landon Bouma, Cyclopath's lead software engineer at the U of M. "This included rewriting the route planner to be more efficient and to return even better bicycle routes."
The new version also features a simpler, more user-friendly website design and an updated map display that emphasizes bicycle facilities. The goal was to make it easier for cyclists to identify bike-friendly roads and trails, Bouma says.
Although the new version includes more route information than ever before, the data for Greater Minnesota isn't as complete as the data for the Twin Cities. The Cyclopath team is counting on the tool's users to help fill the gap.
"We encourage all cyclists to help us bring the rest of the state up to date by adding trails where they're missing and editing roads to indicate bike lanes and other bike facilities," Bouma says.
MnDOT, too, hopes that cyclists will add to and edit the state's cycling network.
"A long-term goal is to use Cyclopath as a way to import data into MnDOT's database system and as a way to maintain and update the state's bicycle inventory," Hadzic says. "We also hope that this tool can help prioritize future road maintenance and project investment, so encouraging cyclists to not only use the tool, but also to edit it, is very important."
Going forward, the Cyclopath team is also interested in further expanding the tool's availability.
"Cyclopath is a great tool, but it's only available for cyclists in Minnesota, and it's not available across all platforms," Bouma says. "We would love to continue developing the software by optimizing the code, creating apps for all devices, and expanding the map to include other states and even other countries. We want to continue exploring possibilities to make Cyclopath even better."
Cyclopath was developed with support from the National Science Foundation, MnDOT, the Metropolitan Council, and other local partners.

Regenerative Amplifiers
Definition: optical amplifiers with a resonator in which a light pulse can do multiple round trips before being coupled out
German: regenerative Verstärker
Categories: optical amplifiers, light pulses
How to cite the article; suggest additional literature
Author: Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta
A regenerative amplifier is a device which is used for strong amplification of optical pulses, usually with ultrashort pulse durations in the picosecond or femtosecond domain (→ ultrafast amplifiers). Multiple passes through the gain medium (nearly always a solid-state medium) are achieved by placing the gain medium in an optical resonator, together with an optical switch, usually realized with an electro-optic modulator and a polarizer. As the number of round trips in the resonator can be controlled with the optical switch, it can be very large, so that a very high overall amplification factor (gain) is achieved.
Note that although a pulse makes multiple passes in a regenerative amplifier, the term multipass amplifier is often reserved for a device where a fixed number of passes is obtained – not with an optical switch, but just according to the geometric beam path. It would be more natural, though, to consider a regenerative amplifier as one type of multipass amplifier.
Operating Principle of a Regenerative Amplifier
The principle of operation can be understood as follows:
- First, the gain medium is pumped for some time, so that it accumulates some energy.
- Then, the initial pulse is injected into the resonator through a port which is opened for a short time (shorter than the round-trip time) with an electro-optic (or sometimes acousto-optic) switch.
- After that, the pulse can undergo many (possibly hundreds) of resonator round trips, being amplified to a high energy level.
- Finally, the pulse is released from the resonator. This can be achieved either with a second electro-optic switch, or with the same one as used for coupling in.
This principle makes it possible to achieve very high gain and thus pulse energies in the millijoule range with amplifiers of moderate size, or even higher energies with larger devices. Typical pulse repetition rates are of the order of 1 kHz (although repetition rates of hundreds of kHz are sometimes possible), whereas the highest pulse energies are achieved at lower repetition rates.
Note that the seed laser, normally a mode-locked laser, may have a much higher pulse repetition rate of e.g. several hundred megahertz; only a small number of the generated seed pulses is used by the amplifier.
For high repetition rates (e.g. tens of kilohertz or higher), the amplifier gain medium is usually pumped continuously. For lower repetition rates (particularly for pulse periods well above the upper-state lifetime), pulsed pumping (e.g. with a Q-switched laser) is preferable. A common configuration is to use a frequency-doubled YAG laser to pump a regenerative Ti:sapphire amplifier.
Various Issues
Pulse injection and ejection require the use of a Pockels cell and a Pockels cell driver with a low switching time (well below the resonator round-trip time) and precision. These requirements are substantially more challenging than those for simple Q switching of a laser, for example.
The duration of the amplified pulses may be increased due to the limited gain bandwidth of the amplifier medium, which reduces the pulse bandwidth. This so-called gain narrowing effect may be reduced by inserting a properly designed spectral filter in the amplifier, which makes the net gain spectrum wider and more flat.
At least in femtosecond devices, the chromatic dispersion introduced by the Pockels cell has to be carefully compensated. Nonlinear effects may also occur; these can be effectively suppressed with the methods of chirped-pulse amplification or divided-pulse amplification. If this is not done, the obtainable pulse energy may be limited by nonlinear effects or even optical damage phenomena.
The power efficiency of a regenerative amplifier can be severely reduced by the effect of intracavity losses (particularly in the electro-optic switch). Note that the sensitivity to such losses is particularly high in cases with low round-trip gain, because this increases the number of resonator round trips required to achieve a certain overall amplification factor.
Regenerative amplifiers can also have a reduced gain and power efficiency due to a finite lower-state lifetime, leading to a significant population of the lower laser level during amplification of a pulse, and thus to reabsorption on the laser transition. This problem occurs primarily in amplifiers for very short pulses, but not with chirped-pulse amplification, where the pulse duration within the amplifier is relatively large.
For some applications, it is important to keep the energy of any satellite pulses very low, i.e. to achieve a high pulse contrast. Such satellite pulses can occur in various ways, e.g. via imperfect switching of the Pockels cell or parasitic reflections in the amplifier. An additional pulse picker may be used to suppress pre- and post-pulses.
For high pulse repetition rates, it can happen that the pulse amplification process exhibits strong fluctuations. Bifurcations with period doubling can also occur, where the pulse energy first alternates between two values, later four or even eight values. For further increased repetition rates, this can lead into deterministic chaos [8, 9, 12]. Fig 2 shows a numerical example case.
A common gain medium for regenerative amplifiers is Ti:sapphire, which has a broad gain bandwidth and high thermal conductivity. Other gain media, e.g. doped with ytterbium or neodymium, are suitable for diode pumping and have a good energy storage capability due to their long upper-state lifetimes, but the generated pulses are longer (typically hundreds of femtoseconds or more) due to the smaller gain bandwidth.
Applications of regenerative amplifiers include material processing (e.g. cutting of metals with millijoule pulse energies) and scientific experiments e.g. in high-intensity physics, such as high harmonic generation.
A possible alternative to a regenerative amplifier is a multipass amplifier, where multiple passes (each time with a slightly different propagation direction) are arranged with a set of mirrors. This approach does not require a fast modulator, but becomes complicated (and hard to align) if the number of passes through the gain medium is high. As a rule of thumb, a multipass amplifier may be more appropriate for very high pulse energies if a limited gain is required (because the input pulse energy is already relatively high), whereas a regenerative amplifier is more suitable for very high gains. Of course, both approaches can be combined: a regenerative amplifier provides the high gain, and a final multipass amplifier stage boosts the energy (→ amplifier chains, ultrafast amplifiers).
Another technique for reaching high pulse energies, although not nearly as high as with regenerative amplifiers, is cavity dumping of a mode-locked laser. This technique is particularly suitable for very high pulse repetition rates of several megahertz.

At any given time, approximately 33% of the population in the United States report that they are dieting, despite being of normal weight. When dieting adversely affects a person's health it is referred to as an eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating are the most severe of the eating disorders. They can affect both men and women, both are more common in women in the teenage years.
Anorexia nervosa is a disorder involving distorted body image (thinking you are fat when you are actually thin) and self-starvation. It manifests itself as restrictive patterns of eating, preoccupation with food, and excessive exercise. With bulimia nervosa, the patient eats food in excessive quantities and then induces vomiting or uses laxatives (purging). Binge eating is similar to bulimia nervosa, except that patients do not engage in purging behaviors. All these conditions can result in serious physical and psychological problems.
If you engage in any of the behaviors described above, or think you devote an excessive amount of time and energy thinking about appearance, weight, meal composition and/or calories, speak to a medical provider or other resources for guidance and counseling.

Less than a week to go now, before the start of the Tour de France. I'm a big fan. But you probably already know that if you read my blog regularly. A highlight (actually two highlights) of our recent trip to France were the days we drove up Alpe D'Huez and Mont Ventoux, two of the most famous mountain climbs of the Tour. I wrote about that part of our trip in a post which you can read here, if you're interested. And now the Tour starts in a few days. Well, five days if you're counting. And I am.
Hubby and I love to bike. We're not great cyclists, we don't do road races or climb mountains. We just love to be out there... in the fresh air and sunshine... riding our bikes. It's fun and great exercise and something that we can do together. And when one is over fifty... nudging up to sixty, even...as I am... staying fit and healthy isn't as easy as it once was. So, we've been in training since we came home from France. Training for the Tour. Well, kind of. Mostly we just ride our bikes like we always do, twice a week. We plan our week on Sunday, around our respective schedules, and the weather, so we can dedicate two days to biking.
We're spoiled for choice, with respect to biking trails, around Ottawa. Sometimes we ride the Trans Canada Trail, that follows the old railway lines. And then hooks up with a local trail that snakes through sun dappled bush.
We often ride on weekday mornings, and then we have the trails mostly to ourselves. Last week we followed this trail that crossed the Green Belt outside of the city...
And ended up at the Ottawa River.
Last Saturday we biked along the Rideau River. While the Ottawa River is wide and fast flowing, the Rideau is bucolic, even placid.
We crossed the river on this single-lane bridge dating from the 1890's.
And tooled around the tiny village of Burritt's Rapids
We stopped for lunch at the locks just outside Burritt's Rapids. Boaters can follow the Rideau Canal system from Parliament Hill in Ottawa, where the Rideau River meets the Ottawa River, all the way to Kingston on Lake Ontario.
This is the view from our picnic table. It was a perfect day. And since it was still June, pretty uncrowded, I'd say. The lady on a boat tied up near here, said she and her husband had spent the night here. And were moving downstream the next day, with an eye to being docked in downtown Ottawa on Canada Day. That would be pretty special, sipping a cold glass of wine and watching the fireworks on Parliament Hill from the deck of your boat.
After lunch we hit the road again. Past farms and a field of animals of all sorts. I think this must be the year of the donkey, for me. And yes, that's a llama.
And eventually rounded a bend ... to see an osprey nest on a platform on top of this pole. We've seen several of these nests in the surrounding countryside. But this one was occupied. And the mother's feathers were a little bit ruffled by our continued presence, so we hopped on our bikes and headed for home.
But the Tour de France hoving into view on the horizon, makes our rides special, these days. We laugh and say how we're in training for the Tour. When we ride, I always lead, because I pedal slower than Hubby and he has trouble knowing what pace to set if he's in front. Then, if it's windy and I'm struggling, I flick my elbow... just like the boys on the Tour... a small motion that says, "Get up here and lend me a hand." And Hubby comes up to be my "domestique." If you're not familiar with cycling lingo, "domestiques" are the riders who work for the benefit of the team and the team's lead rider. They help the cycling stars to win races: they ride in front so the big name rider can save energy by riding in their slipstream; they selflessly surround and protect the star, who then gets all the glory. A "domestique" is quite literally a "servant" to his or her team.
So sometimes Hubby responds to my elbow flick, and plays the servant, and I ride close on his back wheel, making it much easier for me. Yah. I like that part. Sometimes I pull out from behind him like a shot and try to sprint away. Playing the part of that famous sprinter Mark Cavendish. Otherwise known as the 'Manx Missile', because he's from the Isle of Man. I usually shout as I speed by in a blur (I hope) that "Burpee is making a break-away." Sometimes I win and Hubby can't catch up. But not often. I'm not actually much of a 'Manx Missile.' More of a Burpee Bomb. Ha. Well, at least I try. And it makes our rides more fun. And when it's fun, staying fit is so much easier!
This was the route we took the other day. Past lush green cornfields, under a perfectly blue sky.
Past an old farmhouse where the retired farm machinery makes a wonderful planter. I'm pretty sure this is a manure spreader. Quite appropriate, eh?
This is my favourite house on our route. I love the old brick, the clothesline out back where the grass slopes down to a small creek. There's even a lovely swing in that big tree on the right.
Seriously what could ruin this perfect morning? Nothing ...except my stopping to take yet another picture of this sky with one single cloud. One cloud. "Ahhhh. How great is that?" I murmur.
And then Hubby's voice admonishes me for stopping yet again. He's been circling waiting for me. "Come on, Suz! Let's go." And I zip my camera into my pack and pedal off after him. I should know better; we are in training after all.
I do other stuff besides biking to stay fit, and still fit into my jeans. I power walk one morning a week with girlfriends, and ride my exercise bike three times, combined with at least one weight workout. And I take one day a week off. Retirement means that I can't count on all that calorie-burning running around that I would normally do in the course of my day at work. And running around burns a heck of a lot of calories. It's a battle. But it's so much easier to fight the battle if I can find ways to make it fun.
Because of course we're not really in training for the Tour de France. You might say we're just getting into the spirit of the event. Gearing up, so to speak. Being silly, pretending we're famous cyclists, acting like kids, you might also say. Yep. You'd be right about that.
Check out this great blog about cycling. Suze, read my travel posts about France, about Hubby and I driving up Mont Ventoux, and sent me her story about doing it for real...on a bike. You can read her post here.

Toast the bread until crisp, then spread over the soft cheese. Divide the smoked mackerel between the toasts.
In a small bowl, mix the fennel, onion, capers, lemon juice, oil, chives and some seasoning. Spoon over the fish toasts, with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

I haven't been posting very much these last few months, but I have been following other blogs and I've been commenting more lately.
There has been a conversation conducted through several blogs that I find very interesting. The conversation started with the idea that the longer we blog the less we post about kinky things. In my own experience I think I post less about kinky things because what was once kinky (being told to mop the floor, clean the toilet, etc.) become routine after a while. Sure, when I first started doing it I couldn't wait to blog about how I mopped the floor and had an erection the entire time thinking about how I was cleaning and my wife was relaxing.
This doesn't mean I'm unhappy, just that it's not really news any more.
Lady Grey has taken the conversation to the next level in her latest post and having thought about this for a while I've discovered something about myself. I'm being very lazy.
I know some of the agreements made in our Arrangement are not being lived up to and my wife, being busy with her career and being a mother and a wife, is not enforcing the rules. I recognize this and I'm OK with it… for now.
Lady Grey points out that the staleness that sets in is mostly the result of the wife being lazy and not changing things up or enforcing the rules. This is true. But I am VERY guilty of letting her do this. Why? Well, as I said, I'm being lazy.
If I were to point out to her that she is letting me get away with keeping a messier house than she is used to she might make me work harder. Right now I don't really want that. So I'm being lazy AND selfish. I admit it.
Frankly, hanging out at the pool with the kids is more important to me right now than making sure the house is spotless. And with the kids out of school keeping the house clean with them in it is nearly impossible. While I clean one room they are usually destroying another. The first couple of weeks of summer break nearly gave me a breakdown. That's when I just accepted I couldn't keep up with the work and embraced the laziness.
At some point my wife saw how much stress I was under and made some suggestions as to what might help. Unfortunately the only thing that seemed to work was to just accept that I was beaten and to not stress out that the house is messy. My wife told me that I needed to figure something out because that wasn't really acceptable. My reaction to this is to get her to the pool with us as often as possible, preferably with a margarita in her hand. If she isn't in the house she doesn't have to see it's messy.
Too soon the pool will be closed, but with that the children will be back in school. Then my wife and I can have one of our chats about our arrangement and we can get back on track.
Until then I'm going to be lazy and selfish. I'm going to enjoy playing computer games at night instead of mopping the kitchen floor. I'm going to enjoy watching cartoons with the kids. I'm going to enjoy hanging out with friends and family at the pool. I'm going to enjoy my wife sending me to the bar to get her drinks in front of our friends. I'm going to enjoy the chastity and orgasm control she has over me. I'm going to enjoy the knowledge that I've only had seven orgasms this year. I'm going to enjoy giving her countless orgasms whenever she wants….
Yeah. I'm just selfish and lazy. But the summer is halfway over.

Mardi Gras season is here and that means King Cake! I have several variations on the blog, this quick and easy version, and a more traditional one here. Want to know what all this King Cake stuff is all about? Check out this post Laura did for us a few years back. It's filled with great info and history of the sweet confection.
Now, on to this one…My other pull-apart breads have been so popular, I just wanted to offer one more take on the King Cake with that in mind. This simple recipe is actually an amazing breakfast as well as dessert. And while most modern King Cakes have fillings (cream cheese is my favorite) I just did a cream cheese icing to keep it easy but still have that great flavor.
Start with 2 cans of refrigerated, flaky layers biscuit dough. You can see I used Grands!
Separate them and cut each biscuit into quarters.
Next, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a gallon-size zip-top bag and give it a good shake to get everything mixed together. Now, add your biscuit quarters and seal the bag. Shake it well to coat the pieces in the cinnamon sugar.
Place the pieces of dough into a prepared Bundt pan and discard any extra sugar in the bag.
Bake in a 325 degrees oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. Using a butter knife to carefully peek down into the center of the ring will help check doneness. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes while you make the icing. To do that, simply melt the cream cheese in the microwave and then combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream. Yes, you can use milk or even water here, but the heavy cream really does make a difference. But don't buy a whole thing of heavy cream for a tablespoon. Once the cake has cooled a bit, invert it on a serving platter and drizzle the icing on top. Decorate the top by using yellow, purple, and green sanding sugar like below. You can even add a baby in there if you'd like – just tell folks to watch out. We don't want anyone chomping down on Baby Jesus and breaking a tooth!
King Cake pull-apart bread
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
- 2 (16.3-ounce) can flaky layers refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk (but heavy cream sure does taste better)
- purple, green, and yellow decorating sugar
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Open the biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a gallon size zip-top bag and add the biscuits. Seal the bag and toss to coat the biscuit pieces. Place the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared pan evenly, discarding any leftover sugar in the bag. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then invert over a serving dish and allow to cool some.
- To make the icing, place the cream cheese in a microwave safe dish and microwave it for 15 to 20 seconds or until nearly melted. Combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream (or milk if you don't have heavy cream) with the melted cream cheese. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar if it's too thin or a drop or two of milk if it's too thick. Drizzle the icing over the partially cooled bread and then decorate with the colored sugar. Serve warm.

How to Break Out of a Bad Mood:
Believe it or not, how you feel can affect how your partner feels. When you wake up in the morning are you excited for the day, or are you thinking here we go again? When you come home at the end of the day do you know your partner is excited to see you, or do they ignore you? While you are away from your partner do you know they are thinking fondly of you, or do you wonder if they are thinking negatively about you? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then this is the article for you.
Here are 10 cognitive distortions that could be causing your partner to turn away from you:
- All-or-nothing thinking: You look at things in absolute, black-and-white categories.
- Overgeneralization: You view a negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
- Mental filter: You dwell on the negatives and ignore the positives.
- Discounting the positives: You insist that your accomplishments or positive qualities "don't count."
- Jumping to conclusions: (A) Mind reading - you assume that people are reacting negatively to you when there's no definite evidence for this; (B) Fortune-telling - you arbitrarily predict that things will turn out badly.
- Magnification or minimization: You blow things way up out of proportion or you shrink their importance inappropriately.
- Emotional reasoning: You reason from how you feel: "I feel like and idiot, so I really must be one." Or, "I don't feel like doing this, so I'll put it off."
- "Should statements": You criticize yourself or other people with "shoulds" or "shouldn'ts." "Musts," oughts," and have tos" are similar offenders.
- Labeling: You identify with your shortcomings. Instead of saying "I made a mistake," you tell yourself, "I'm a jerk," or "a fool," or "a loser."
- Personalization and blame: You blame yourself or something you weren't entirely responsible for, or you blame other people and overlook ways that your own attitudes and behavior might contribute to a problem.

The world holds more than 56,000 credit unions in 101 countries. Those credit unions serve more than 200 million members and go by many names: financial cooperative, SACCO, SKOK, savings house, caisse populaire, banque populaire, caja popular, or caja de ahorro.
Whatever the name, we all share a common mission and a common set of values.
Our mission is the financial empowerment of members. Our values are about trust, mutual help, and self-help. We belong to a global community of people dedicated to putting first what is right for members, their families, and communities.
Credit unions face the same challenges in other countries as they do in the U.S.— increasing regulatory burden, payments innovations, sustainability of small credit unions, young membership growth, competition from new entrants, and market disrupters.
Our answers are creative, innovative, and diverse. We build a community by sharing lessons learned. The U.S. credit union system provides leadership to the rest of the world on how to tackle shared challenges.
Credit unions worldwide will gather July 27-30 in Gold Coast, Australia, to exchange best practices at the 2014 World Credit Union Conference. We hope you join us for this golden opportunity to share the U.S. leadership experience with others and to learn from their solutions to common challenges.
BRIAN BRANCH is the president/CEO of the World Council of Credit Unions.

Road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said the aim is to bring down the cost of cement to make the projects financially more viable.
"We are working on a plan to revive state-run shut cement factories," he said, adding that his ministry has sought details from the heavy industry ministry on loss making or shut cement plants.
Gadkari has already held meetings with heavy industries minister Anant Geete and officials of Cement Corporation of India to work out a detailed plan.
State-owned Cement Corporation of India, which comes under the heavy industry ministry, has six non-operating cement plants.
The company achieved cement production of over 9
lakh tonne in 2014-15 and its overall capacity utilisation stood at 66%, highest in last five years. "We have the mines contract, so we are capable to hike production given that due government support is given to upgrade the operational efficiency," said an executive with the firm.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the road transport and highway ministry and Cement Corporation of India will be signed soon for assured take off of cement.
Another senior government official said the government plans to revive state-run units to counter private cement firms over fear of
cartelization in the sector. "Cement demand is pegged to be around one crore tonne in the next five years and there already exists a cartel like situation in the cement industry that will possibly increase the cost of cement prices.
"At present, a bag of cement costs around Rs 200 if booked through the cement portal of the roads ministry where 39 suppliers have already registered themselves. This compares with the open market rate of Rs 340 per bag.
"We want this price to come around Rs 120 per bag," the official said, adding that they have also warned the private cement manufactures that the government will import cement from China if they do not bring down their prices.
Earlier, Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India had complained to the Competition Commission of India about high cement prices, accusing some cement makers of cartelisation.

Randle is an unincorporated community in extreme eastern Lewis County, Washington, United States. Randle is located on U.S. Route 12 and is notable as the northeastern access point to the Mount St. Helens Windy Ridge viewpoint, by way of forest service roads that cut through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Randle is located right next to the Cowlitz River and is about four miles north of the Cispus River, a tributary of the Cowlitz. The rural area surrounding Randle is known locally as the "Big Bottom Valley," which is reflective of the fact that the valley floor in which the Cowlitz River winds westward through Randle is "big"--flat, fertile land that is at places more than 3 miles wide.

Whether you are hiring staff or looking for work, it can be difficult to know which one of the many recruiters to choose from. Assuming you have to engage with an agency, it's important to understand that for the relationship to be successful, it has to be a two-way process.
A good recruitment consultant needs to understand you, your business and the market in which you operate to be of any real use to you. On a more detailed level, good recruiters strive to identify the technical, personal and cultural aspects of roles, as well as knowing the individuals that can best secure them, to ensure the "cultural fit" is right. Before you start answering their questions there are a few you should be asking yourself about your chosen recruiters:
- Do they specialise in your market?
- Do they recruit for your discipline?
- How long has the company/consultant been recruiting within your industry?
- Have they recruited for your competitors?
- Do they take a consultative approach?
- What consulting value can they add?
- Can they provide evidence of previous successes?
- Are they willing to come out and engage with you?
- How skilled are they at assessing technical skills?
If a recruitment consultant is to conduct an accurate search for suitable candidates and be able to brief interested parties about the role, they must first have an accurate Job Description or brief containing detailed and relevant information. A professional candidate will also be interested in knowing what a prospective employing organisation is striving to achieve. He or she can assess whether the organisation's goals are compatible with their own and more importantly, that they are tangible and achievable. It's worth remembering that good candidates will probably be chasing several opportunities at the same time. The most talented will be looking for the organisation that provides a well defined job description, a clear benefits package and a succession plan at the very least. How well that is packaged and presented can make all the difference when a recruiter sells an organisation and a job to a candidate.
A good recruiter will offer added value to both clients and candidates. Guidance in terms of markets, roles, job descriptions, work visas and the recruitment process should be part of the service. Do some research amongst colleagues to find out which recruiters specialise in the industry you wish to work within and whether they walk the proverbial talk. Candidates should make sure that an agency meets them in person before they are submitted for a role. This ensures that the consultant fully understands what the candidate is looking for; can make an accurate assessment of their match to the role and organisation; and then sell the role and employing organisation to the candidate. Good agencies offer pertinent guidance and prepare candidates and clients for interviews.
Be very wary of agencies that will put CVs forward for a role without prior permission of the candidate. The "scatterblast" technique alienates most hiring managers who hate to receive totally inappropriate resumes for specialist roles. It can also lead to candidate ownership concerns in which the simplest solution for some hiring managers is to put the resume straight in the recycle bin.
There's no real substitute for experience. Using a recruiter with a long track record of success will probably ensure the whole process is as smooth as possible. It's all about communication – which is always a two way process.

Release the names of "deregulation teams"
The Trump administration now has "deregulation teams" dedicated to rolling back many of the rules and regulations that protect Americans like you and me.
But most of these teams are operating in secret. As a result, we don't know what protections these teams are looking to dismantle, who is trying to dismantle them, or whether they stand to personally profit from the rollbacks.
That's why we're calling on Cabinet secretaries, the leaders of the government's top agencies, to release the names of the people on these deregulation teams.

Remember the time when people only used to trade in the shares and too were highly limited as people used to think that this is a mode of secondary income. However time changed and now the amount of people considering all the varied range of investment and trading options has increased with a great pace. You have options like share trading, commodity trading and forex trading these days. This article draws a basic comparison between all of these three types of trading options to help you understand what is more suitable for you as an investor.
- Understanding the basics
- Equity
Equity is a term used to talk about the shares. So when you invest in the shares belonging to any company that is listed on the NSE or BSE, it is called equity trading.
- Commodity
Commodity is a term that is used for the metals, agricultural products, precious metals, natural gas, crude oil, etc. Lately commodity trading is becoming very popular amongst the traders.
- Forex
Also known as currency trading, is where you trade and place orders on exchanging currencies. This is an option for you if you are looking for some great trading to make money from the money market.
- Understanding the differences
As the above mentioned basic definitions state, there are a lot of differences amongst all of these three options. Take a look at some of the key factors on the basis of which differences can be drawn.
- Market
In stock trading, you have the options of spot market along with the derivative market. In contrast to this there is only the derivative market for the commodity market and online forex market.
- Risk
When you plan to invest in forex market the amount of risk that you would b exposed too would be the highest. Second option on the grounds of risk is the commodity market while the share trading or equity trading is believed to be the least risky kind of trading.
One needs to do some good amount of research in very kind of investment as even if you invest in the stocks thinking the risk is minimum, there are chances where the company's business drops or it ends up being bankrupt. Due to this, it becomes essential to make correct investments.
- Trading methodology
Just as there are different options to invest in all the three categories being talked about here, same is the case with the trading methodologies. Although with the options of online trading, not a lot of hassle is involved, what needs to be understood here is that you would always need a firm in between which is known as stock broking company or stock brokers. With various options like options, future, intraday, delivery, etc. one has to select the trading methodology depending upon their goals.
- Brokerage
Depending upon the type of trading plan you choose you would be charged different brokerages in stock, commodity and currency trading respectively.

Dr Bart Reviews Trump vs Ryan and Bernie Sanders motives on Campaign Central, WINK-TV. Will Trump acquiesce? Will Ryan? Does either need to? And what about bernie, what's his end game?
The psychology of this G.O.P. conflict is quite interesting. According to Dr. Rossi "I don't expect compromise from Donald Trump; he thinks he can win without the leadership,\. And if he does blow off the leadership his followers will love it. On the other side, he recognizes that unity could help him. Ryan might compromise a bit, though not much, and I wouldn't expect Mr. Trump to alter his strategy from what he has been doing all along — playing the authoritarian."
Bernie Sanders has proven he is an authentic personality, and Hillary — providing she goes on the win the nomination — has to think about what kind of platform she can give Bernie Sanders in exchange for his support and those of his supporters. VP is an option, but she had other people in mind for that, so she has some serious decisions to make, and she has her own policy agendas that she'll want to stick to. "

Parliamentary procedure at the Legislative Assembly is founded on constitutional and statutory provisions, the Standing Orders, parliamentary practice, and Speakers' decisions. Assembly proceedings are regulated by parliamentary rules and practices intended to expedite the business of the Assembly while ensuring the right of each Member to participate in the parliamentary process.
Standing Orders
Standing Orders are the formal written rules adopted by the Assembly to govern its proceedings. The continuing or "standing" nature of these rules means that they remain in effect until the House itself decides to suspend, change, or replace them. Temporary sessional orders change or supplement existing rules for the session in which they were adopted, while special orders may apply to a single or special occasion.
The procedural authority of choice at the Legislative Assembly is Parliamentary Practice in British Columbia, 4th edition, written by E. George MacMinn, QC, OBC – a former Clerk of the House. This print guide to the Standing Orders includes detailed explanatory notes, decisions, and helpful precedents.
PetitionsA fundamental concept of parliamentary democracy is the right of the public to have access to parliament by way of petition. A petition can be from an individual or group and can relate to the passage of a bill or the government's consideration of an important public issue. Since the Legislative Assembly is a representative institution, it considers only those matters submitted to it by its own Members and petitions are no exception.

Sorcerer Musician
This is a 4 track instrumental. All electronic orchestral sketch. Magical. Easy listening. Classical in style. / CLICK HERE to hear sample or place an order!
Product Information
The word sorcerer is defined in the dictionary as "someone who performs magic". For those who only listen to music, but have never taken the journey of composing it, I'm sure what we do as composers must seem like "magic" to the listener. Music is complex to learn, to say the least. Like body building, you eventually reach a level of proficiency where the depth of your knowledge as a composer just can't be put into words. This is where I am these days as a composer and was pretty much there even at age 25. My greatest ability for expressing my love and spiritual level of insight, lies in my ability to express myself through music, both in playing it and writing it.
This wonderful work is only a "orchestral sketch" done in electronic instrument form and originally completed back in 1979. One day I would love to write out the full orchestra arrangement I have in mind for this composition. There is so much wonder and awe that can be done with the orchestra for a work like this.BUY NOW
Edgar Casey has stated in one of his readings that the Universe was made of music and light. The light part is correct given God is this ocean of light the whole thing is made from and suspended inside of which I was shown in death. I later found Casey giving a similar description of this great truth. It is what Christians call "The Holy Spirit" and what Buddhist's call "Vishnu" or what the American Indian calls "The Great White Spirit". The cover art captures some of what I saw in death with my first NDE in 1981. God's canvass of creation is a void created to hold reconfigurations of his being we call light. His substance is a who as well as a what I saw in death. I composed Sorcerer Musician as my tribute to the God of light and the awesomeness of his ability to create with such love and precision that humbles me as a long time student of the arts and sciences for over a life time
This sample presentation is to help you get into the spirit so you'll go to my CDbaby artist page and support me by buying a copy of this work. This is a remix of the original recording as I transferred it from reel to reel analog to digital format. So, raise your hands as you allow the magic of love and the creation to pour through you and to others around you as you listen to this masterpiece of workmanship I've entitled Sorcerer Musician.BUY NOW

Dance Performances by ODC/San Francisco Bring the Creative Power of Raphael to Life at the Getty
November 27, 2000
Los Angeles--The extraordinary dance and eloquent style of ODC/San Francisco come to the J. Paul Getty Museum in December as part of the Gordon Getty Concert Serires. The performance features one world premiere and two Los Angeles premieres by the ODC's award winning choreographer Brenda Way. The core presentation takes its inspiration from the international traveling exhibition Raphael and His Circle: Drawings from Windsor Castle, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum through January 7, 2001. Performances take place on Saturday, December 16 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, December 17 at 3 p.m. in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium, 1200 Getty Center Drive. Tickets are $20 and are available through Tickets L.A.: 323-655-TKTS. The Gordon Getty Concert Series places Museum exhibitions in richer historical context through performance.
The centerpiece of the program is the world premiere of Way's Garden Tour: Impressions of Raphael. Garden Tour, inspired by the creative power of Raphael's drawings, is an impressionistic amalgam of movements responding to architectural space, landscape and the human figure. Way worked with several of Raphael's dramatically suggestive scenarios to explore the physical dynamism that characterizes his drawings. The end result is a loose scenario, a walking tour of Raphael's imagination. Way is ODC/San Francisco's Artistic Director and a 2000 recipient of a prestigious Guggenheim fellowship. The work is set to a contemporary score, Jay Cloidt's "Life is Good . . . and People Are Basically Decent," which features everyday sounds in concert with melody and tonal exploration.
The Getty performance also features a preview of 24 Exposures, a new piece set to premiere during the Company's 30th anniversary in San Francisco, April 2001. Comprised of seven sections, 24 Exposures traces the evolution of movement vision--from pedestrian to virtuosic movement and from formal construct to emotional narrative. Set to Edgar Meyer's re-interpretation of American folk music tradition (performed by Mar O'Connor, YoYo Ma and Meyers), the music suggests unmistakable parallels to Way's work. Both Meyers and Way are forging an American voice inspired by classical sources yet deeply informed by contemporary appetites.
Rounding out the program is Way's 1993 work John Somebody, reprised for the Company's 2000-2001 repertory season. A fast-paced, demanding work choreographed for two women and three men, John Somebody is set to a score by Scott Johnson.
Through a collection of drawings that is among the world's finest, Raphael and His Circle: Drawings from Windsor Castle celebrates Raphael as one of Western art's most influential figures. A pivotal artist of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael had a phenomenal capacity to absorb many influences, an unequaled sense of grace and harmony, and the organizational ability to execute large-scale commissions with a team of artists. His workshop in Rome enjoyed illustrious patronage and completed some of the defining projects of the High Renaissance.

Texas officials issue alert about typhus threat
Texas officials have issued a health alert about the rising threat of typhus in Houston and other parts of the state.
The alert by the Texas Department of State Health Services calls on healthcare providers to increase their "clinical suspicion" for typhus symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle pain, anorexia, rash, nausea and vomiting. Such symptoms are often confused with many viral ailments.
The Chronicle reported on the increase in typhus earlier this year. The number of cases jumped from 30 in 2003 to 364 in 2016, 32 of them in Harris County, health officials said.
The new alert says the state expects the final 2017 typhus count will exceed 400.
RELATED: Typhus Making Comeback in Texas
It noted that in previous years, typhus was primarily reported in South Texas, along the Gulf Coast, and Central Texas, but activity is more recently increasing in the Houston and Dallas-Fort areas. Typhus can occur in any age group, the alert said, but more than a quarter of cases reported involve children between 6 to 15 years of age.
Typhus, a potentially fatal disease transmitted by fleas, was thought to be all but eradicated in most of the United States but has been making a comeback in Texas for reasons researchers don't know. The bacteria is carried most abundantly by opossums and other backyard mammals that spread them to cats and dogs.
"We can now add typhus to the growing list of tropical infections striking Texas," Dr. Peter Hotez, founding dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor and Texas Children's Hospital told the Chronicle earlier this year. "Chagas, dengue fever, Zika, chikungunya and now typhus - tropical diseases have become the new normal in south and southeast Texas."
Since 2003, eight deaths have been attributed to flea-borne typhus infection in Texas, and more than 60 percent of patients diagnosed with the bacteria are hospitalized. When left untreated, severe illness can cause damage to one or more organs, including the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and brain.
Flea-borne typhus cases are required to be reported to the local health department within one week.
You can read the alert here. It was issued Thursday.

His friend : She asked my girlfriend if it's true that your love for her won't fade away.
Him : What is that supposed to mean?
''That means, she's afraid to lose you''
Judge someone so early, will break your heart.. Trust someone so early, will also break your heart..
People who like each other can fight and break up.. But people who truly love each other try not to fight that can risk their relationship..
I wasted my time thinking about you day and night, thinking bout all the things that made you left me, but what's the point? It's not like you'll ever come back..
I let you go in the past, but now, i'm stuck in the present, cause a future without you, is like i've never been born..
