Student feedback spring 2014
15/09/2014 at 17:28
Dear students,
Many thanks to all who answered to our little feedback questionnaire sent out in the beginning of June 2014! It has given us valuable information about the content and set-up of our curriculum and motivates us a lot to carry on with the development and improvement of the curricula.
Some of the mostly stressed issues will be described shortly below. Nevertheless in case you have more to add for the time being or would like to have detailed information about the questionnaire please do not hesitate to contact me.
Most of the answers expressed general satisfaction with our curriculum (18% were even thrilled! and 64% happy they chose it). 18% claimed the curriculum meets only somewhat their expectations.
One of the main problems according to survey results was the timetable. Many of you are working-students and it is hard to find time to participate in day-time lectures. As our Master's programme form is full-time study there is not much we can do about it. For the current semester we tried to schedule lectures to afternoons when it was possible (e.g IDU0420, IDU0450). Though, as our aim is to engage more internationally acknowledged practitioners, who are also tightly involved with the development of the sphere locally and globally, there were still many courses that were impossible to reschedule due to the time-constraints of the lecturers (e.g IDU0410, IDU0430).
The other problem survey results revealed was confusion of finding lecture materials. This problem is currently one of the top priorities we try to solve – to make it easily traceable and accessible. Hopefully the curricula´s webpage will give you hints of where and how, but the future plan would be courses/course materials that are accessible online (i.e. Moodle which is well known environment for many of you).
To end with some positive note, the most popular course, in regards of the content and set-up, was Legal Framework of e-Governance (HOE7210; Lecturer: Prof. Mrs. Katrin Merike Nyman-Metcalf), followed by e-Governance: Policies, Strategies and Frameworks (IDU0400; lecturer Mr. Arvo Ott).
We truly appreciate your feedback (to course set-up, lecture materials, lecturers, rooms, communication, events, study environments … you name it!) and encourage you to give it constantly so that we could develop it all more according to your understanding of a great curricula. Please keep in mind that changes might take time because of variety of reasons, but we do everything possible to keep the program more up to date! Send your e-mails to Karin (email@example.com) or Evelin (firstname.lastname@example.com). We are waiting!
Love & Peace!
Karin Oolu (email@example.com)

Besides being an all women site, hystersisters.com uses vbulletin and its database for most of the rest of the site.
The main page of the domain is integrated, using Vb templates. Guests see a different main page than the members....with help for the guests/visitors ( mostly newbies) on how to use the site, how to register and such). I can add, edit, alter, hand select favorite threads for the main page all through the templates. Its my favorite function of the integration.
Calendar events include birthdays and surgery dates since their membership revolves around another date....a hack added this to our profiles and the calendar.
We send out birthday greetings and surgery "get well" greetings to all the members via a cron.
We have special subscriber groups that get additional benefits (avatars, custom titles, photogallery, etc) from payments we call "crown jewels".
We have integrated PhotoPost into our vb.
We have integrated Raidersoft's Platinum chat software into our vb for registered members only.
We are about to launch one on one "customer service" feature as well, all set to go...integrated into vb.
Because of the awesome software of VB and the additional hacks available and the wonderful support team here, on ORG and by hire....I believe hystersisters.com is a great resource for the 25,000 members. (Yes, we purge our membership list too...keeping our database with working emails.....purging un-activated user accounts).
Thanks for the nomination guys...and thanks for your continued help and support helping me to keep hystersisters.com up and running for so many women who need help.

It is obvious that all women, no matter which part of the world they're from, love to receive attention and be noticed. Tell her which of her photos you love the most and why. If you are chatting through live video, try to make some positive comments on her hair style or the outfit she's wearing.

Of course, too many compliments or unlimited flatter can give her the impression that you're just a sweet talker.

Find some jokes to share with her, especially jokes about things that she is interested in. Just remember to be careful about cultural differences and make sure not to send anything offensive or insulting.

Read her profile carefully to learn about her character and her interests, and then talk about them. Ask her why she loves the things she does and what kinds of music, sports, etc. she is into. Ask why she chose her studies or her profession. Discovering more about her will make her feel appreciated, and will also help you find common grounds that are important for a successful relationship with the single Russian girl.

Casual Dresses Spring-Summer 2016
A real woman always tends to look ideal. She believes that she must look good not only in a work or festive environment, but also in everyday life. In this chapter, best friends turn out to be dresses in which a woman can go to the store, at the beach, to a beauty salon or simply for a walk in the park. Modern designers have paid a special attention to casual outfits, offering a huge selection of casual dresses for any event, taste and color.
Shirt-dresses 2016
The shirt-dress is a garment loved by so many people. This sits ideally on women of all ages and varying degrees of complexity. Such dresses also can be of various designs, colors, prints, fabrics, tailoring, which makes them be considered as romantic, feminine and also sober dresses. Whole variety of shirt-dresses was demonstrated by Chalayan, Aquilano, Boss, Banana Republic, Derek Lam, Christopher Raeburn, Versace, Joseph.
Loose fit dresses
The loose fit dress is a true novelty for those who want to look good without major expenditures. In addition, these dresses are considered to be universal because any form of body fit. The loose fit dress is often used by those ladies who want to hide the extra cm. And if it wants the emphasis to be placed on certain body parts, then always wear a belt, both above the hips, and also in the waist area. Best loose fit dresses were included in the collections and fashion shows from The Row, Ulla Johnson, Kaelen, Hellessy, 6397, Ryan Lo, Tome, Talbot Runhof, Roksandič Suno, Alexis Mabille, Maison Rabih Kayrouz.
Asymmetric cut
Asymmetry is a well known and in high demand technique among designers. Asymmetrical cut always makes outfits look special, standing it out from the crowd. Do you want a one shoulder dress see A Detacher, Eudon Choi, Martin Grant, J. JS Lee, Jacquemus, Diesel Black Gold collections. If you like mullet dresses, decorative asymmetric cuts and other "disproportionalities", we invite you to study the fashion show by Parsons MFA sites, Narciso Rodriguez, Christopher Kane, Antonio Berardi.
Lingerie style dresses
Nightdresses and seductive negligees never cease to conquer the hearts of males. That is why, some modern brands have decided to bring it in casual fashion. For this reason, boldly fashionistas can buy dresses that are also well loved night wardrobe items. And not just to buy them, but also to wear in everyday life. Here we list the following: velvet mini designs decorated with seductive lace, midi options, and floor length shirtdresses. All the diversity of lingerie style casual dresses can be seen at Celine, Maiyet, Givenchy, Katie Gallagher, Rag and Bone, Chloe, Narciso Rodriguez, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein Collection.
Best casual dresses with frills and ruffles
Frills and all kinds of ruffles are an indispensable element of modern casual outfits. And if previously those methods of fabric decoration could be seen only on evening attires, then now they can be seen almost everywhere. Designers recommend wearing layered dresses not only on the beach, on shopping, but also in the process of active rest (Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, No.21, Ashish, Francesco Scognamiglio, Jason Wu, Mary Katrantzou, Erdem).
Strapless dresses
It is no secret that the 2016 spring-summer season will give us a lot of warm, even hot days. To protect fashionistas from overheating, designers recommend them to wear dresses as possible open. To this end, they opted for different cuts. In addition, much of the brands recommend us to wear sundresses and dresses with thin, barely visible straps, which leaves the impression that the dress just hangs in the air (Prabal Gurung, Salvatore Ferragamo, Milly, Mara Hoffman, Mother of Pearl, Ellery, J Crew, Joseph, Boss, Chloe, Andrew Gn, Etro, Courreges).
Casual dresses over pants
Dresses and tunics, worn over trousers, jeans, leggings and tights are another well known trend of the new warm season, as evidenced by new lines of APC, Kaelen, A Detacher, Christopher Raeburn, Julien David, Chanel, Talbot Runhof, Marni, Thomas Tait, Suno, Koch, Creatures of the Wind, Arthur Arbesser, Creatures of Comfort. You can match with straight cut tunics with jeans, shirtdresses with flared pants, long chiffon dresses with classic pants – i.e. exactly as you wish. There are no limits in this respect. What matters is fashionista's comfort and practicality.
Speaking about the versatility of modern fashion, it is impossible not to mention its loyalty towards the actual fabrics. In world fashion shows were presented virtually all existing fabrics. However, in all diversity were observed and leaders. The first place judging by the popularity and originality is occupied by mesh which recommend us to use Anna Sui, Balmain, Stella McCartney, Sibling, Simone Rocha, Sophie Theallet, Tommy Hilfiger, Akris, Alexander McQueen, Dolce and Gabbana and many other brands. The mesh was presented in different sizes and colors. Here we see black, blue, green, orange, white, multi-colored, yellow mesh and dresses that recall the fishing net.
Valentino, Vionnet, Rochas, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, Blumarine, Arthur Arbesser, Alberta Ferretti, Balenciaga, Akris, Babyghost, Sharon Wauchob, Tracy Reese did not go too far from colleagues recommending to wear absolutely transparent dresses made of lace and chiffon, under which often there was no underwear.
A great popularity has also knitted fabrics, both manually and mechanically. This trend will definitely appeal to those who love this hobby, because they can be the ones that create their own outfits. Such knitted dresses designs can be seen in collections Issa, Jonathan Simkhai, Tommy Hilfiger, Veronique Leroy, Alexander Wang, Alexis Mabille, Betsey Johnson, Moschino.
The leather also got very close to the pedestal of fashion. In fashion shows could be seen both combined dresses (leather used on only some portions of the article), as well as outfits made entirely of leather. Most designers opted for colored leather (Au Jour Le Jour, Versace, Celine, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Trussardi). The classic black leather being also present in clothing lines coming from Mugler, Saint Laurent.
A great popularity has also the use in a dress cut of simultaneously multiple fabrics (Bottega Veneta, Antonio Marras, ADEAM,Marni, Simone Rocha).
Among the described fabrics, often could be seen denim, fur, velvet, linen, knit fabrics and even cellophane and plastic (Assembly, Acne Studios, Tory Burch, Sibling, Paul Smith, Altuzarra, Balenciaga, Chloe, Marques Almeida, Chanel).
We were also very impressed by the variety of colors, especially the options of colorful dresses including green dresses (Altuzarra, Maison Rabih Kayrouz, Burberry Prorsum, Arthur Arbesser), passionate red at (Giambi, Fendi, Lemaire, Adam Selman, Hermes Alexis Mabille, blue Akris, Alberta Ferretti, Altuzarra, Hermes), golden yellow (Tome, Jonathan Saunders), and even acid shades (Lisa Perry).
Do not think that designers were limited only to bright shades. If you don't like vivid colors, draw attention to pastel shades that are presented by Dion Lee, Luisa Beccaria, Boss, Emilia Wickstead, Bottega Veneta, Alberta Ferretti, Iceberg.
A special popularity have also the combination of colors, as well as ombre technique (Altuzarra, Christopher Kane, Chloe etc.)
The main theme of the spring-summer 2016 season will become geometry, namely stripes. Attires with marine print are back again in fashion. It can be seen in the collections of House of Holland, Dolce and Gabbana, J.Crew, Giulietta. In addition, highly popular will be also other geometrical lines – vertical, horizontal, intersecting lines, zig zag, bright, thick and thin. A huge choice of clothing with geometric printes proposed Max Mara, Jonathan Saunders, Missoni, Salvatore Ferragamo, Stella McCartney, Milly, Maison Rabih Kayrouz, J. JS Lee, Isa Arfen, Apart apiece. They could be seen other geometric shapes such as squares, circles and diamonds (Wes Gordon, Victoria Beckham, Acne Studios, Valentino).
Besides geometric prints, in great demand will be also other images on fabric. For example, Dolce and Gabbana, Antonio Marras, Jill Stuart, Adam Selman, Luisa Beccaria embellished their dresses with flowers, Mara Hoffman and Au Jour Le Jour- images of clouds, Moschino and Jeremy Scott have applied to the cloth funny faces and road signs while in Sonia Rykiel and Roberto Cavalli lines can be seen the animal print and the military theme.
This is how the casual fashion proved to be in spring-summer 2016 season. Fashionistas will again find it difficult to choose the right dress because the caring hands and wonderful creation of designers have proposed an impressive variety of casual dresses designs.

The Boohoo Christmas in July press event was definitely a popular one! Full of gorgeous clothes and accessories, its easy to see why. I headed over there with Charlotte and Laura to check out what will be coming in to stock for AW16. I'm sure you'll agree that Boohoo has absolutely nailed the party season…
Seriously obsessed with these peep toe style boot heels. Such beautiful, minimal colours but in textures that will make a statement. Perfect to accompany a Christmas or New Year party look.
Sequins, embellishments and fringing galore! All things that glitter and shimmer to add some sparkle to an outfit.
With my lovelies, Char and Laura, making the most of the Boohoo Christmas photobooth!
With camouflage prints back on trend, it's refreshing to see Boohoo's sparkly twist. With a vibrant colour scheme and covered in sequins, this co-ord is an exciting take on the trend and a must have!
The most amazing pair of boots that ever did meet my eye! These glitter boots will have me disco dancing the whole way through the festive period. All too excited for these to come in stock.
Glitter boots and furry clutch bags making an appearance for AW16.
My favourite rail of the day… Can you guess why?! Monochrome mixed with metallics and shimmers. I've found a couple of garments to make for a jazzy New Years Eve look.
It may be a slightly blurry image due to the busy room, but I just couldn't resist showing you this stunning dress. Uneven fringing and 'chain-mail-esque' embroidery make this dress all too appealing to me. It's like a modern twist on the 1920's classic flapper dress! This is my ultimate recommendation from the Boohoo Christmas Press Day for the festive period.
Hope you liked scanning through my pictures and must-haves from the event!

Lumos Labs, the makers of brain games Luminosity, was fined two million dollars by the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive marketing. In the filing, they brought issues to the forefront regarding claims that games and apps that are designed as learning tools actually work to improve learning, IQ, or cognition.
If a company is saying in their marketing that games or apps have a scientifically proven effect on learning or cognition, that statement has to be backed by science that is valid. "Scientifically proven" has to be by currently valid methods of science.
Anecdotal data collection–having people give their experience with a program–is considered to be science, but in a supporting role. Anecdotal data can support other science. Alone it does not have enough scientific validity to support a marketing claim that a product works. Of particular concern is anecdotal data, also known as customer testimonials, that are solicited in such a way that the veracity of the claim is questioned.
Soliciting customer testimonials with the opportunity to win money or prizes means that the information being gathered has a high likelihood of being skewed. It cannot be considered valid scientifically when something to gain is offered in exchange for making the claim. These testimonials or other forms of endorsement can be used to support marketing, but disclosure is required if the endorsement or testimonial was paid for or otherwise compensated.
While learning games have a great potential and a large market, makers must use caution in their claims about how the games work and what they can do. Valid science takes time and is expensive, but marketing cannot make claims about a product unless the science backs them up.

Bill Flores says he created more than 500 U.S. jobs
In a bid to unseat nine-term U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco, Republican Bill Flores touts his prowess in creating private-sector jobs.
In a TV ad that started airing Aug. 26, the narrator says: Bill Flores. "He's a businessman, not a politician. Bill helped build successful energy companies and created over 500 American jobs. Now Bill Flores is running for Congress."
Flores chimes in: "Washington is out of control and it's time for Texans to stand up and stop them."
Edwards fired back in an ad that started airing a few days later. In it, the narrator says Flores helped run a company that laid off over 3,000 workers, a statement we rated False earlier this week.
Now we're looking at whether Flores indeed created more than 500 U.S. jobs, as his ad says.
As evidence, Flores provided us with a spreadsheet he created detailing changes in the workforce over the years at the five companies he helped steer as chief financial officer. Accounting for some job losses at the companies, Flores said he created 1,431 jobs from 1980 through 2009. First, we wondered why his ad doesn't boast about creating more than 1,400 jobs. Flores told us that he picked an estimate that was "bulletproof accurate." More than 500 jobs "gets the point across," he said.
Keyes Offshore, September 1980 - March 1990
Flores told us that according to his notes, he created 356 jobs at Keyes before it was sold to Marine Drilling in 1990, where Flores was appointed CFO. We weren't able to independently confirm Keyes' payroll after searching news archives and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, with which companies must file financial information.
Marine Drilling, March 1990 - August 1997
Flores said Marine Drilling had a net loss of 582 jobs during his tenure, which he attributed to a downturn in oil and gas prices in 1991 and 1992.
"Marine Drilling was forced to execute significant financial and operational restructuring in order to survive," a note on his spreadsheet says.
Flores said Marine Drilling had 1,495 employees when he started there in 1990. The SEC only has company filings available starting in 1994, so we weren't able to confirm that.
By February 1994, the company had about 700 employees, and by March 1997, it had 800, according to its SEC filings. By March 1998, the company employed 942 people. Flores left Marine Drilling halfway between those two headcounts; he estimates it had 913 employees at that time.
Western Atlas, August 1997 - August 1998
This period proves key to Flores' overall claim because, by his count, Western Atlas gained 1,607 employees while he worked for the company.
As of December 1996 — before Flores came on board — the company had approximately 14,000 full-time employees, including 8,900 in oil field services and 5,000 in industrial automated services, according to the company's SEC filing. Flores was in charge of the company's oil field services division, which became an independent company under the Western Atlas name in October 1997, he said.
By December 1997, the company employed 10,600 people — an increase of about 1,700.
The employee counts in the SEC filings don't jibe precisely with Flores' tenure because they were taken eight months after he joined and also eight months after he later left the company. Flores said his estimate of the company's job growth — about 100 jobs less than the SEC suggests — is supposed to account for that. Flores told us he accounted for about 105 Western Atlas jobs that were lost as a result of its merger with Baker Hughes Inc.
Gryphon Exploration Company, November 2001 - August 2005
Flores said he created five jobs here, boosting the payroll to 29 employees before the company was acquired by Australian-based Woodside Petroleum. We couldn't find an SEC filing for Gryphon. Meantime, Caran Crooker, the company's former controller, said she couldn't remember precisely how many jobs were added during Flores' tenure but said that five sounded about right. She said the company at least hired a couple people in the finance department, a receptionist, and two engineers.
Phoenix Exploration Company, November 2005 - December 2009
Flores, who helped found Phoenix Exploration, told us he had created 45 jobs by the time he left in 2009.
Two news reports back him up.
In August 2006, a few months after Phoenix opened for business, the company paid $340 million for all offshore Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana assets owned by Houston-based Cabot Oil and Gas Corp., according to a March 2007 article in the Houston Business Journal. "Even though I had put together a great team, we only had 12 people on the payroll at the time, so it kept me awake at night," the Journal quotes Flores saying.
By March 2007, the headcount totaled 44, including management like Flores, according to the Journal.
In May 2009, six months before Flores departed, the Houston Chronicle ranked it number 61 of its top 100 private companies, noting Phoenix employed 48 people. Crooker, now a controller at Phoenix, said there are 45 employees on the books.
We wondered how much personal credit Flores can rightly claim for the job growth at Phoenix and the other companies.
Miguel Quinones, a management professor at the Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business, said: "To say he personally created (jobs) would be a stretch. It'd be like him taking credit for the price of oil or gas going up. What creates jobs is demand for products and services. Unless he opened up a new product line, or somehow opened up a new market ... you can't claim (credit for creating all jobs)."
When we asked Flores why he, as the CFO, deserves the credit, he said his ad "says the companies that Bill Flores helped create, it doesn't say Bill Flores anywhere takes personal credit for it." When we pointed out that the narrator flat out says Flores created the 500-plus jobs, Flores said: "That's not the way it was intended to be read. It was intended to be read that these companies created over 500 American jobs."
Indeed, a message on his campaign website says Flores "helped create" more than 500 jobs. And in April, his campaign debuted a TV ad saying "his energy companies created 500 American jobs."
Flores told us: "What we've tried to always say is, 'I was a leader at a company that helped create jobs.'"
Where does this trail wind up?
Our research is by no means perfect, since the payroll numbers we found didn't precisely line up with the months Flores started and stopped working at each company. As far as we can tell, significantly more than 500 jobs were added to the payrolls at growing companies where Flores worked as a CFO. But as he acknowledged to us, the statement's wording overstates that achievement — leaving viewers to conclude he personally created the jobs.
We rate his statement as Barely True.
Editor's note: This statement was rated Barely True when it was published. On July 27, 2011, we changed the name for the rating to Mostly False.

US drone kills four persons in Pakistan
Islamabad: Four persons were killed when a US drone targeted a house in the restive North Waziristan tribal region of northwest Pakistan today, the first such attack since November last year. The drone fired two missiles at the house in Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan Agency, Geo News channel reported.
The identity of the four persons killed in the attack could not immediately be ascertained. The house caught fire after the missiles slammed into it, local residents were quoted as saying by the channel. This was the first US drone strike in Pakistan`s tribal belt since November 17 last year.
The US had reportedly suspended its controversial drone campaign after a cross-border NATO air strike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on November 26.
Pakistan had angrily responded to the air strike by shutting all NATO supply routes and forcing the US to vacate Shamsi airbase, reportedly used by CIA-operated drones.

Then he's an idiot.
"You don't know. At the very least it's a wake-up call and should be an educational opportunity to come together and say this isn't tolerated, acceptable, not who we are and it isn't welcome here."
He's an idiot.
A typical liberal "Coexist" idiot.
The town of Manalapan New Jersey, report courtesy of the local NYC CBS o/o station WCBS-2:
(CBS NewYork) — Just 10 days before the High Holidays a New Jersey community woke up to find swastikas and anti-Jewish graffiti all over town.
The photographs show the images neighbors woke up to in Manalapan on Thursday morning — swastikas on street signs, mailboxes, a cable box and a sign saying "kill the Jews" on a picket fence.

Baile Folklorico Dance & Culture Today VS. The Past
Baile Folklorico Dance & Culture Today VS. The Past
Baile folklórico is literally 'folkloric dance', which is a collective Spanish term for traditional Latin American dances that emphasize the local folk culture. The dance highlights on the local folk culture with ballet characteristics, for instance, the pointed toes movement, almost similar music, the exaggerated movements, and the highly choreographed arrangements. This dance is basically a properly choreographed dance style that displays the diversity of the Mexican culture. Most of the people now do not understand the history of the folklórico and how it came about. The costumes and the music attempts of this dance type ultimately reflect the living cultures of their regions, respectively. The regions of Mexico, the Southwestern United States, and Central American countries are known for a handful of locally distinctive dance forms, but the main body of the dance remains the same. Therefore, the elements from all cultures are combined together to produce a language of movement, which inspires and represents the regional, national and personal ideas about beauty and entertainment.
The Dance and Culture in the Past:
It is believed that the Mexican folk dancing occurred long before Amelia Hernandez formed it in the 1950's. The periodic waves of the Mexican nationalism during the 19th and the 20th centuries revived folk dance as a tradition and kept it alive. It was fully adopted by popular culture in the mid-20th century. It is basically an amalgamation and reflection of the regional and ethnic diversity of Mexico. After the War of Independence in 1810, folklórico received its first important surge of popularity. After the 1910 Revolution, the dance form blossomed as a result of the dramatic changes that occurred in the Mexican society. The Mexican consciousness expanded after the Revolution, as the resulting nationalist movements incorporated with the indigenous art forms and re-identified folklórico as a national expression. After 1960, the Mexican government made a strenuous effort to promote folkloric dance and preserved it for its social and aesthetic values.
The Dance and Culture Now:
Folklorico has now become a defining element of the Mexican popular culture at national and international levels. This dance form has carved a way for itself as a successful niche in the Mexican psyche. The folklórico has served as a tool in the construction of the Mexican national identity, by entrenching the regional dances that existed since the 17th Century, but they were not equally recognized or appreciated. Today, a large number of young men and women throughout the nation enjoy learning, practicing and performing the folklórico dance. The people now have whole-heartedly accepted it as a part of their culture. It gives them a sense of community and cultural pride; at the same time it allows a certain community to share their heritage with others. The dance form still remains traditional because of the deep connection with the Mexican culture and history.

Singh was speaking at the meeting of the Consultative Committee attached to his ministries in Guwahati. The meeting reviewed the functioning of state-run NHPC Ltd and implementation of the government's Solar Rooftop Programme and the Solar Pumps Programme.
During the meeting, NHPC Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Balraj Joshi gave a presentation on the company's areas of operation, portfolio of projects, performance on financial parameters, diversification into thermal and renewables and the way forward.
Joshi informed the committee that NHPC is commissioning 22 projects of 6,691.2 megawatt (MW) capacity and is engaged in 25 projects of 14,000.5 MW capacity which are under various stages of development involving hydro, solar and thermal projects.
"Out of these, three hydro projects aggregating to a total installed capacity of 3,130 MW and one solar project of 50 MW in Tamil Nadu are under construction," the ministry said in a statement, adding a 1,000 Mw project of JV Company Chenab Valley Power Projects Limited (CVPPL) has been accorded Cabinet's clearance and its re-tendering is under finalisation.
Also, 14 projects of 9,167.5 MW are at various stages of clearances. "Six hydro projects of 553 MW are in the pipeline for preparation of feasibility report and another three projects of 805 MW are also on anvil. Further , NHPC is envisaging addition of 150 MW solar projects in association with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI)," Joshi said. He also added that NHPC has expanded its objective of developing renewable source of energy by commissioning 50 MW wind project in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
The committee was also informed that 2,363 megawatt peak (MWp) solar rooftop systems have been sanctioned and about 810 MWp aggregate capacity projects have been installed in the country so far. "A total 1,80, 908 number of solar pumps have been sanctioned and 1,35,545 number of solar pumps have been installed under the Solar Pump Programme till 30th September 2017," the statement said.
The ministry also said it is in the process of formulating a new scheme for solar pumps to promote stand-alone solar off-grid pumps with an objective to replace existing diesel pump sets. Similarly , a new scheme for solarisation of grid-connected solar pumps is also being formulated for areas where agriculture power feed is separated.

Stocks snapped a four-day winning streak Tuesday as an inflation report stoked rate fears and GE delivered a weak outlook.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 49.05, or 0.5 percent, to close at 10,452. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also lost about half a percent.
This came after the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq all closed at 2009 highsMonday, with the Nasdaq now up more than 40 percent for the year.
Inflation at the wholesale levelsurged 1.8 percent in November, reflecting price jumps in energy and other products.
The jump in inflation comes as the Fed kicks off a two-day monetary-policy meeting today. Economists will be watching closely to see if the Fed keeps its pledge to keep rates low for an "extended period" — or if this inflation report is a game-changer that causes policy makers to temper that language.
But Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors pointed out that the pop in inflation at the wholesale level hasn't yet reached consumers.
"When it came to consumer goods, the changes were totally mixed, which tells me we don't have a major, broad based price increase trend under way," Naroff wrote in a note to clients. "[T]he pathway from wholesale costs to retail prices is not direct so let's not get too worried about inflation yet."
In the day's other economic news: New York State manufacturing weakened unexpectedly and homebuilder confidence fell — both in December.Industrial production rose a better-than-expected 0.8 percent in November.
The dollar rallied, hitting a 10-week high against the euro, amid worries about European banks and rising inflation after the PPI report.
Oil settled above $70 a barrel, snapping a nine-day losing streak, while gold ended above $1,125 an ounce.
Energy stocks were the day's best perfomers as commodity prices rose, while financials were at the bottom of the pack.
Financials were hard hit but Wells Fargo rose after the bank became the last of the major banks to repay its TARP funds, reaching an agreement with the government late Monday on paying back the $25 billion it received under the program.
The payback will come after Wells Fargo completes a $10.4 billion stock offering. That follows similar news from Citigroup earlier on Monday.
There was some controversy surrounding the Wells Fargo offering: The stock was delayed from opening for 50 minutes this morning so Goldman Sachs could allocate the 425 million shares, even though the books closed at 9 a.m. ET, which ticked off floor traders.
Dow component and NBC Universal parent General Electric told investors that it expects revenue to be flat next year — analysts expect it to be down about 10 percent — but said the "worst is behind us" in financial services.

I just finished a delicious supper.
It's rare that I blog about things I've just eaten. Usually I'm too lazy, or too busy, and the meals get filed into my brain to use in future posts.
But tonight, despite the dirty dishes on the counter, I am relaxed. I can also sleep in tomorrow. And, I want to write about how this meal tasted before I forget.
I often buy squash at the Strathcona County Farmers' Market from August Organics, a stall on the East side of the market, closest to the front doors. There is usually a big pile of green and orange squash on one corner of the stand, with an info sheet about which squash is which, and how they all taste. I can't always tell from the sheet which one I'm holding, so I have to ask one of the kind people who work there. A few times I've been helped by an adorably precocious boy.
Last weekend I bought quite an ugly-looking specimen, but I was told that it was dry and would be good for roasting. Roasting is one of my favourite ways to make squash, because it brings out the natural sweetness.
I remembered reading something on a food blog recently about a squash salad, so I did an online search and came up with Ina Garten's recipe for roasted squash salad with warm cider vinaigrette.
The only annoying part of this recipe was peeling and scooping out the squash. The peel was tough and the seeds and membranes were hanging on for dear life.
Tonight I was dining alone. J had a long day and was already asleep in bed when I started the recipe (quite late, I must admit. I had a long day myself). So once the squash was done roasting, I made myself a one-plate serving with the greens, squash, raisins and cheese. When I spooned on the warm dressing, the aroma of parmesan drifted up to my nose. When I took a bite, the sweetness of the squash balanced perfectly with the sharpness of the parmesan cheese, and I tasted the tanginess of the cider vinaigrette.
I adapted the recipe quite a bit because of ingredients I didn't have, and it still turned out great. I used mixed greens from the market instead of arugula, and raisins instead of cranberries. I left out the walnuts and the shallots entirely.
My only complaint was that the dressing had too much olive oil, since the vinegar mixture isn't as strong as plain vinegar. I would add only a quarter cup next time.
I am looking forward to lunch tomorrow.
Roasted Squash Salad with Warm Cider Vinaigrette
Adapted from Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics
One squash (butternut or any other dry variety), about 1.5 to 2 pounds, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon maple syrup
olive oil
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins
3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots (optional)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
arugula or other salad greens
1/2 cup toasted walnut halves
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Toss the squash with the maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Put it in a roasting pan and roast for 20-25 minutes, until soft and browned in places. Stir once or twice during the roasting. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last five minutes (I didn't do this, but it would probably be good).
While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup.
Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
If you are serving the entire salad immediately, place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten, and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
If you'd like to save some salad for leftovers, simply plate each portion individually. Start with the greens, add the squash, walnuts and parmesan, and spoon on the dressing.

text: RAPPORT EBA Consumer Trends Report European Banking Authority European Banking Authority 29 juni 2017 The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its annual consumer trends report for 2017. The Report covers the retail banking products that fall in the EBA's consumer protection mandate, including mortgages, personal loans, deposits, payment accounts, payment services and electronic money. The report also provides an overview of the topical issues identified in 2017 that may impact consumers and other market participants, namely indebtedness, banking fees and costs, selling practices, innovation in payments, foreign currency loans, alternative financial services providers, and innovative uses of consumer data. In its continued monitoring effort on the retail banking products, the EBA has observed that mortgages continue to have the biggest impact on consumers, though consumer credit has seen a rapid increase in demand. Nevertheless, consumers tend to complain to their national competent authorities mainly about payment accounts and payment services. Due to the low interest rate environment, the EBA has observed a gradual increase in the level of indebtedness across the EU as well the introduction of new or the increase in already existing fees and charges on payment accounts and loans. Security of innovative payment instruments and solutions was also highlighted as an important issue for consumers. On the other hand, issues such as selling practices and foreign currency loans, while still relevant for consumers, showed a slight decrease in importance. The report also summarises, where relevant, the measures the EBA has taken to address some of the identified issues, including technical standards and guidelines relating to the security of payment transactions, the transparency and disclosure of information on payment accounts, the mis-selling of financial products. This Report builds on information provided by the national competent authorities of the 28 EU Member States, as well as on input received from a selection of national consumer associations and the EBA Banking Stakeholder Group. Due to budget constraints, the external sources of information that the EBA had used in previous years could not be drawn upon for the 2017 Report. Legal basis The annual Consumer Trends Report is the fulfilment of the mandate conferred on the EBA in Article 9 of its founding Regulation, which requires the Authority to take a leading role in promoting transparency, simplicity and fairness in the market for consumer financial products or services across the internal market, including by collecting, analysing and reporting on consumer trends.

Crystalens® IOL Lens Implant Procedure
Crystalens® is a revolutionary new breakthrough in vision enhancement that Turner Eye Clinic is now providing its' patients. It is the first and only intraocular lens (IOL) replacement that focuses like the eye's natural lens, allowing for continuous vision up close, far away and all distances in between. By using the eye's muscle to move the lens backwards and forwards naturally in response to the brain's desire to see at different distances, Crystalens®, manufactured by Bausch + Lomb enables the eye to focus continuously and seamlessly through a range of distances.
Patients experience the same vision they had when they were younger, for most without the inconvenience of corrective lenses. However, it is important to note that not everyone will gain 20/20 vision at all distances after this procedure. It is also important to point out that even after having this procedure, you still may not be able to read or focus on objects in low light. As we get older, we lose our ability to focus on objects under these conditions. Our health and the health of our eyes will also determine the outcome of any type of refractive surgery.
The Procedure: View a video of the Crystalens® procedure
The Crystalens® implant procedure is a safe and proven refractive technique performed in an outpatient surgical facility. The procedure lasts about 20 minutes and is pain free. The crystalens® implant is inserted in place of the original lens. A small incision allows for quick healing and no stitches are required.
One eye or two?
The Crystalens®procedure is normally performed first in the dominant eye. The surgeon will wait two weeks before inserting the second implant to assure the proper balance for reading and distance vision is achieved with both eyes.
Who is a candidate?
The Crystalens® is ideally suited for patients who want to not only restore clarity in their vision but also restore their near, intermediate and distance vision. Almost anyone who has cataracts is a candidate for the crystalens® procedure if they are healthy and do not have any serious eye diseases. You may be a candidate even if you have had previous refractive surgery. The best way to find out if you are a candidate for this procedure is to have a consultation with our center.

Melon is also awesome for diets and losing fat tissue on the belly. With melons, you won't crave the bad sugary treats anymore and your immunity will be better.
Pears have fibers by far more than other fruits and work on the abdomen fat too.
And, the cucumber is a water power veggie that burns extra belly fat and water retention as well.
This excellent drink for fat losing is your best option that has no side effects and it is natural. You can see for yourself after a week. Along this drink, do the "vacuum pose" for better losing fat tissue, and practice these habits every day.

The Best Dining Room Furniture Set for Your Holiday Gathering
We don't often think about the furniture in our dining room until it's absolutely necessary to do so. The furniture is typically comfortable enough for us to enjoy a quick breakfast, or a dinner with the family. But, when it comes to hosting guests, it's easy to second guess yourself, and your furniture. Thankfully, there are a few tips you can keep in mind. Whether you're in the market for a new dining set, or you want to spruce up your own, take into account both timeless classics, and recent trends.
Traditions Never Fade
The holidays are all about family, warmth, and comfort. One way to provide that with dining room furniture is by focusing on something more traditional, vintage, rustic, etc. If you have an old dining set already, you might actually benefit from 'roughing it up' a bit more. The distressed look is not only in style right now, but it never goes out of style. Capitalize on a comforting dining set you already have by giving it a more rustic look. There are plenty of online tutorials and step-by-step guides that can help you give your furniture a welcoming farmhouse appeal.
Modern Comfort
People also tend to think about class and sophistication at the holidays. If you're in the market for new dining room furniture, don't be afraid to make a bold statement. Rich, warm colors will never go out of style. Oversized tables and chairs will make every meal feel like a special occasion. Clean, smooth lines will make the dining set comfortable enough to use all year long, even for a simple, casual meal.
Whatever you decide, know that dining room furniture should reflect your space and personality all the time. How you decorate and accent it for the holidays is also completely a personal choice. So, choose your modern flare, or timeless traditional look, and your friends and family will love it.

Finally, Mercedes-Benz revealed today the 2012 CLS63 AMG at the 2010 LA Auto Show, a car that promises to deliver impressive performances and set a new benchmark in design and efficiency. As expected, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG carries the all-new 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine delivering 518 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.
The acceleration is impressive: 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.4 seconds and a top speed limited to 155 mph or 250 km/h.
Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG Performance Package, which offers 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 186 km/h or 300 km/h. The engine is mated to the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed Sport Transmission.
Despite the fact, that the current engine is smaller and more powerful than the old 6.3-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine delivering 507 hp and 465 lb-ft, the new 5.5-liter V8 engine is more fuel efficient, delivering 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.
The 2012 CLS63 AMG also comes with stop/start function capable to deactivate the eight-cylinder when the vehicle is at a standstill. The driver can see when the engine is deactivated via a green "ECO" symbol on the AMG dash.
The impressive AMG transmission offers "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport Plus) and "M" (Manual) programs in order to deliver better performances. Regarding the design, the 2012 CLS63 AMG comes with a unique hood, wider fenders featuring the "V8 BITURBO" logo and an exclusive AMG front skirt with a black-painted cross-brace.
The rear end of the car features a new air diffuser, with two chromed dual tailpipes, as well as the integrated fog lamps also familiar from the SLS AMG.
Inside, the sporty theme is continued with the new AMG three- spoke performance steering wheel with aluminum shift paddles and a flattened rim top and bottom and the AMG DRIVE UNIT with compact E-SELECT shift lever. The car comes as standard in burl walnut wood veneer, while a piano black lacquer and carbon-fiber trim elements are available as standard.

Update on Swift Nest boxes at Conkers
Following the erection of 10 Swift nest boxes in January, LROS and the staff at Conkers have fitted a Swift lure.
This is now running early morning and evening to attract Swifts to nest in the boxes.
Artwork by Andy Mackay has been incorporated into an interpretative panel to explain to the visiting public what is going on above their heads, as they queue to enter Conkers.
If you are visiting Conkers, or are passing the front door, perhaps using the Conkers Trail, please note if any birds are using the boxes and let Peter know at firstname.lastname@example.com - we already know about the Blue Tits in box 4!
Normally it takes 2-3 years to attract new nesting birds but perhaps these boxes will be particularly attractive?

Press Releases
Travellers' FY 2016 EBITDA rise to P6.4 billion
Pasay City, March 16, 2017 –Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. (TIHGI), owner and operator of Resorts World Manila (RWM), reported audited consolidated financial results with revenues ending at PHP 27.5 billion and EBITDA increasing by 4% to PHP 6.4 billion.
Gross gaming revenues for the year ended at PHP 23.6 billion, supported by an improved win rate and stable growth in the non-VIP segment. Revenue from non-gaming activities, which include hotel, F&B, and other sources, contributed PHP 3.8 billion during the year increasing by 10%.
Growth in non-gaming revenues can be attributed to new opportunities in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) through the Marriott Grand Ballroom (MGB) which became fully operational in June 2015. Increased revenues were also seen in the entertainment front, specifically with RWM's theatrical production of Annie.
"We are confident that the diversity of our non-gaming businesses and attractive entertainment offerings set us apart as a tourism destination," says Kingson U. Sian, President and CEO of TIHGI. "This will enable us to deliver continued growth and stable financial performance in the years to come."
Total room count for the three hotels (Maxims Hotel, Remington Hotel, and Marriott Hotel Manila) has increased to 1,454 with the addition of 228 premier rooms and suites from the Marriott West Wing which formally opened on 30 November 2016.
"Philippine tourist arrivals have grown steadily in the past seven years with 2016 reaching six million international arrivals. Resorts World Manila is ready to accommodate the influx of tourists to the country," assures Mr. Sian. "The projected completion of RunWay Manila, the pedestrian link bridge between NAIA Terminal 3 and Newport City, in the second quarter of 2017 will make RWM an even more convenient destination for leisure and business travelers."
The opening of the Marriott West Wing completes the Phase 2 expansion. Phase 3, consisting of three hotels, Hilton Manila, Sheraton Manila Hotel, and Maxims II, is well underway. Sheraton Manila Hotel is targeted for completion by the last quarter of 2017 while Hilton Manila in the first quarter of 2018. Phase 3 will also include additional gaming areas, new retail spaces and six basement parking decks.
The Company's net debt position was at PHP 8.6 billion as the Company continues to be aggressive on its expansion projects.

Opting for Business Broadband or if switching a provider you will need to know all the relevant information before. From connection speed to customer service and security, here is a short list of features you should look for in business broadband along with its benefits when comparing products and providers.
Unlike consumer broadband, where the support is more basic and often confined to office hours, a business provider will give you access to a UK-based specialist support centre and engineers, available 24/7. You might also have a Service Level Agreement (SLA). This will define the terms of the service you are being provided with a partial or full refund possible if not met.
Security is essential for a business and most ISPs provide business clients with improved anti-virus and firewall software. Sometimes these are included in the price and sometimes require an additional cost.
Better Equipment & Faster connection
Business routers can handle way more users than household ones. Most ISP's prioritise business broadband traffic over residential broadband customers and provide a higher download and upload speed to make the transfer of data much quicker.
The speed and quality of your connection won't be affected by other customers use and won't slow down at busier times of the day.
Static IP
Any good business broadband provider would provide you with a static or fixed IP address. An IP address is a unique number that corresponds to your location on the internet. It's essential if you want to run your own in-house services, and also gives your business a greater air of professionalism.
Email and domains
Most business broadband providers will include web hosting, email addresses and domain names as part of their service. This will be enough to cover a basic web presence, and give all them members of your team their own company-branded email address. It won't be sufficient to run a full online business, and you may need to factor this into your package selection.
It's important to look at other services or benefits your can get from choosing one provider over another. How will your business grow with your current provider, or are you just looking for the best deal and a low-cost option. Many ISP's also have relationships with payment processing companies, mobile carriers, insurance or perhaps website design to help your business grow. Make sure you ask what other services you can get from your ISP to add value to your business.

This is a welcome change from yesterday, in which Bu and then I plummeted into a Funk. Apparently, for me, it was a short lived Funk, which rocks, as I have been known to wallow for months in a dark place. Thank gods I seem to be moving further away from that as I grow more wrinkles and silver hairs. My impression of my life is that I was sleepwalking from age 15-25. A decade lost to just nothing.
I'm doing a lot of daydreaming about reinvinting my life, "Evolution of a moon-eyed etc..." being the presumptive raison d'etre for this blog. Molly has changed me so drastically and beautifully that it's wild. I was thinking about that nursing a wiggle baby fighting sleep while I watched a Sex and the City rerun. It was an episode before Miranda had Brady and there was a pregnant chick breakdown. Their minds were blown pondering how much it changes you, being a mother. My reaction is that it change as much as you want it to. I wanted, needed my daughter to allow me to focus on something huge outside myself. I see her as a cuddly little fire lit under my ass to get my life in order.
When I got pregnant, I wondered what the impact of motherhood would be on my artistic life. Certain professors of the non-namesake variety (Molly's named after my ceramics prof) seem to think it's pretty much a death sentence for my hypothetical career. So, what I thought was that I want her to see me being the best version of myself I can be- that includes producing art regularly. I think it would be so harmful to her to see her mother wasting her talent.
How much art have I made in the time span since I was barely pregnant?
Zero art.
The thing is, it isn't the diapers and the nursing and working two jobs. It's my slacker self doing the same thing I've always done-nothing of consequence. For hours at a time.
So I'm trying to organize this life and family. We are living so loosely, with no routine and no direction. The baby's sleeping in with us then is up too late. The business plan's sitting there in a notebook with weeks?months? of dust on. My studio is a catch all storage room piled to ceiling with miscellania. My clay is in dried bricks, my kiln has never been turned on.
I'm implementing some ideas from The {cheesy} Secret, and I'll go into more detail later about that. My biggest thing need is to just create some structure in my/our life. I've got to start managing time better. I mean I will, I will, I will. I've become the thought police, trying to frame things positively. Constant battle.
Oh, and look: blog pretty again:) It's evolving too. Yay for BlogU.

One of the most serious and pressing issues of any couple who are going through a divorce is how custody of the children will be determined. Each parent usually has a very strong emotional bond with their children, and a divorce is a very serious upheaval in any parent-child relationship. In order to ensure that the negative effects of a divorce on children are minimal, courts have devised a set of policy considerations when deciding how to arrange custody that are based on the best interests of the child.
Below, we'll take a look at the various forms of child custody, and then go over some of the points that a court will consider when deciding child custody.
Types of Child Custody
Child custody can be split largely into two types: legal custody and physical custody.
- Legal custody is the parent's right to make decisions about the child's life, including education, religion, healthcare, and other important concerns.
- Physical custody refers to which parent the child lives with.
In most cases, physical custody of a child is usually awarded to one parent, who is known as the "custodial" parent, who shares legal custody with the non-custodial parent. Physical custody can, in turn, be either joint or sole. In a joint physical custody situation, the child spends an approximately equal amount of time with both parents. This arrangement works best when the parents live close to each other and can demonstrate to the court that they have the ability to make joint decisions and cooperate with each other for the child's sake. In a sole physical custody situation, the child lives with one parent, while the other parent is allowed visitation rights unless the court determines that such visitation would not be in the best interest of the child.
The Best Interest of the Child
If there is disagreement over which parent should be the custodial parent, courts rely upon a number of factors to decide this question in the best interest of the child, including:
- Each parent's home environment and ability to care for and nurture the child.
- Each parent's physical and mental health,
- Each parent's emotional ties to the child,
- Each parent's ability to provide the child with clothing, food, and medical care,
- The relationship between the child and any siblings, half-siblings, or step-siblings who are in either parent's home,
- Each parent's familiarity with the child's health, educational, and social needs,
- Each parent's involvement in the child's schooling and extra-curricular activities,
- Each parent's willingness to foster a relationship between the child and the non-custodial parent,
- The relative stability of each parent,
- Any history of substance abuse by either parent
- Any history of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect of children by either parent, and
- Any criminal histories of either parent.
In Georgia, children who are 11 or older may state a preference as to which parent the child wishes to live with. At that age, the child's choice of the custodial parent is non-binding upon the court, but, once a child reaches the age of 14, the child's choice will be honored unless the judge determines that it is not in the best interest of the child.
