No sealing, demolition in Delhi for 3 years
People in unauthorised colonies in Delhi will not have to live under lurking fear of sealing and demolition of their houses and shops.
New Delhi: People in unauthorised colonies in
Delhi will not have to live under lurking fear of sealing and
demolition of their houses and shops as Parliament on Wednesday passed a Bill for maintaining a status quo in regard to these
areas up to December 2014.
After a brief debate, the Rajya Sabha passed the National
Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Second
Bill. The Lok Sabha has already passed it.
Winding up the debate, Urban Development Minister Kamal
Nath said the government needs three years to come up with a
comprehensive plan for development of the National Capital.
Till that time, people living in the unauthorised colonies
and village settlements should not fear from demolitions.
"People live under fear all the time as to when monitoring
teams or demolition squads will come...There are absurdities
in our Master Plan which we have today...In next three years
we will see a clear, realistic Plan," he said.
One lakh housing units will be constructed by the Delhi
Development Authority for the Economically Weaker Sections
(EWS). When asked about the cost of these houses, the Minister
said they would be given at "affordable prices."
Status quo will be maintained up to 2014-end with regard
to unauthorised colonies including village abadis
(settlements) and their extensions, storages, warehouses and
godowns for farm produce etc.
Commercial establishments operating illegally in farm
houses and other places in nearly 400 rural areas and
urbanised villages are expected to get a reprieve.
The Bill was enacted in 2008 after demolitions started in
unauthorised commercial and residential areas at the instance
of the Supreme Court. It was extended year after year since

macy' to try to pre-empt some of Africa's wars. It was a clear attempt to find some historic vision to match Harold Macmillan's 'Wind of Change' speech 34 years ago. But with five wars flaring and at least another 16 bubbling on the continent, preventative diplomacy would seem obvious. After all, humanitarian aid to Rwanda costs at least dollars 1m a day and the guesstimated cost for the US intervention in Somalia was dollars 2bn. With expenses like these, trying to prevent wars in Africa looks very like common sense.
Mr Major suggested to his South African hosts that Britain should take a leading role in such a project. 'I believe,' he said, 'that an entirely new effort at preventative diplomacy is long overdue. With our friends in Africa, and with their agreement and participation, Britain wants to develop new mechanisms to head off conflicts before they become unstoppable.'
But is Britain best placed to conduct this diplomacy? In one way it is. Britain once ruled more of Africa than any other foreign power and more African countries have stronger links with Britain than with any other country. 'Why aren't the British doing something here? They understand this country better than anyone,' is a common refrain in many wrecked African countries today.
It is not a feeling that is reciprocated. Britain has shown less and less interest in Africa in recent years. It is not just the formal trade and investment links with Africa that have declined. The vital personal links are also being weakened by Britain. It is far harder for Africans to get visas to come to Britain and extremely difficult for anyone from Africa to find grants to study here.
Britain now has 24 embassies and high commissions in sub-Saharan Africa and the Horn. Five closed in 1991 as part of Foreign Office cuts. The existing posts support about 270 diplomatic staff, 20 per cent less than 10 years ago.
In the end, the number of diplomats perhaps matters less than the style of diplomacy - which has until recently been 'quiet' rather than preventative. 'The Government knows our views,' is the phrase one hears from British diplomats from Lagos to Addis Ababa to Cape Town. Public statements are rare and muted.
The other thrust of policy - if such it can be called - has been to 'await developments'. It is a supine, watching style of diplomacy. It is based on the complacent view that whoever ends up on top in any particular country will need Britain more than Britain needs them, so even if London backs the wrong horse now, the eventual winner will be in no position to shun or punish Britain.
South Africa is a prime example. For years the African National Congress and its supporters screamed at Britain for propping up apartheid by blocking international sanctions. Now President Nelson Mandela now has nothing but praise for Britain's role.
There is also a fear in the Foreign Office that, as the former colonial power, Britain is badly placed to intervene in disputes. It is true that the Muslim northern Sudanese tend to believe that Britain is always plotting to make southern Sudan an independent state. There are suspicions in Somalia, too, that Britain backs the separatist Somaliland Republic. Britain could not play honest broker in these areas. But these are the exceptions.
More often there is a feeling that Britain has a historical understanding of the problems and should be helping to arbitrate them. In other words, Britain helped to create the mess by drawing the boundaries and setting up the nation states, and has some responsibility for sorting it out.
Britain has increasingly evaded this responsibility and appears to be walking away from Africa. The last generation of colonial administrators absorbed into the Foreign Office at independence has gone, so there are fewer diplomats with personal knowledge of Africa. Not many young diplomats apply to go to Africa as their first choice; it no longer attracts the brightest and the best. And increasingly Britain seeks to hide behind a European Union position in Africa, even with regard to countries that have strong links with London and none with Brussels.
France, in contrast, has maintained its interests. Paris may be cynically self-serving at times, but it is not afraid to have a policy in Africa or to pursue it publicly and vigorously. It maintains 35 embassies in sub-Saharan Africa and the Horn and its diplomats are proactive, pushing a line, creating a
Britain's undertook its first venture in preventative diplomacy in Africa last month when Baroness Chalker climbed out of a small, twin-engined Beachcraft at Bujumbura in Burundi. She and her staff of four spent a day there in non-stop meetings with the country's leaders, trying to encourage them towards a political settlement which would stop Burundi going the way of its neighbour, Rwanda. She had met none of them before and she had neither carrots nor sticks in her bag. She was relying on her experience of Africa, her status as the longest serving aid minister in the Western world and sheer force of personality.
There is still no agreement in Bujumbura, but at least it was a start. In boundary wars, such as the dispute bewteen Cameroon and Nigeria - both countries with British connections - London has done little. In wars against tyrannies, such as in Ethiopia, it sat on the sidelines accepting the status quo - some would say that in South Africa it actually supported the status quo. In secessionist struggles it remains neutral.
And Britain has shown little interest in stopping the rise of the military in Africa from Idi Amin in Uganda in 1971 to the overthrow of Sir Dawda Jawara in Gambia in July.
In Angola during the election two years ago and its aftermath, the British ambassador played a direct and courageous role in trying to stop civil war breaking out, but it was a personal, impromptu one. There was no follow-up from London. British diplomats are not encouraged to be up there with the journalists and the aid workers on the front line.
If Britain is to launch an initiative in preventative diplomacy in Africa it will have to become far more committed and involved. There must be more diplomats on the ground and they must get closer to the action.
In the 19th century the flag followed the cross into Africa. In recent years it has been a case of the the flag following the camera and the journalist's notebook - governments become involved in crises only when they are publicised by the media. If they really want to engage in preventative diplomacy, they will have to get there before the cameras.

Pianese Nunzio 14 anni a maggio 1996
Pianese Nunzio 14 anni a maggio 1996
1h 54min | Crime, Drama, Romance | 5 September 1996 (Italy)
A young priest crusades against organized crime in his Naples neighbourhood but falls in love with a 13-year old boy. It's the chance the gangsters were waiting for to get rid of the thorn in their side. Will they be able to force the boy to accuse the priest of sexual harassment and have his reputation destroyed?
User review:
In Naples a priest begins a campaign against the Camorra. He's particularly vulnerable in that he has a "relationship" with 13-year-old Nunzio an alter boy, semi orphan and talented singer.
The priest in this film is both a hero in his fight against the Camorro and a villain in his abuse or molestation of Nunzio. Lest the priest be too sympathetic a character there is Gigi an older boy who apparently was the priest's last protégé who appears at the beginning of the film and complains that the priest doesn't seem to have time for him anymore. `Things change' he's told.
The audience is left to judge for themselves as the priest seems to harbor no guilt about his actions and the boy says that he enjoyed the affection. This is another of those films that deal with morality at the uncomfortable border between what is rightfully the business of a society and what is better left as a private matter between consenting partners.

2 Phases: REM and Non-REM Sleep
Non-REM Sleep 4 stages of progressively deeper sleep Normal muscle tone Associated with increased 5HT (serotonin) Decreased autonomic activity: Lower BP, Pulse, respirations slow
Stage One Brief transition between wakefulness and sleep (accounts for only 5% of sleep time)
Stage Two Light sleep Accounts for 50% of total sleep time ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) shows some characteristic findings…
EEG in Stage 2
Stages 3,4 Most restful, restorative stages of sleep Aka: Delta wave sleep/ slow wave sleep Greatest proportion is in the first 1/3 to 1/2 of night
NREM Sleep: Theories of its purpose… The decrease in metabolic demand on the brain during NREM allows glycogen stores to replenish Allows for consolidation of memories and learning
REM (dreamland) 10-20 min. cycles consisting of: Rapid Eye Movements ElectroEncepahaloGram shows fast activity very similar to wakeful EEG pattern Suppression of peripheral muscle tone Often increased autonomic tone- ie, increased blood pressure, resp, heart rate
REM (dreamland) Where dreaming occurs REM is marked by increased brainwave activity Thus REM-supression seen with anti-cholinergic drugs (ex. some antidepressants)
Normal Sleep Pattern Sleep cycles between NREM and REM approx. 4-5 times/night Cycles last approx. 90min REM duration and frequency increase thru night Proportion of slow wave sleep (stages 3,4) decreases thru night
Normal Sleep Parameters Sleep Onset Latency- the time it takes one to fall asleep, averages 10-20min REM Latency- time between sleep onset and the first REM period, averages 90-120min
Normal Sleep Distribution REM sleep accounts for approximately 25% of total sleep time Non-REM sleep accounts for 75% of sleep time, with 25% of that spent in Stages 3,4 (most restful portion)
Age-Related Changes Decreases in dreaming, total sleep time, REM, and slow-wave (deep sleep) Increases in early morning awakening, fragmentation, daytime napping, and phase advancement- Ie, earlier to bed, and awaken earlier
Sleep Disorders- 2 Divisions Dyssomnias- disorders of quality, timing, or amount of sleep (quantity) Parasomnias- abnormal behaviors associated with sleep or sleep-wake transition, that often produce arousals
Dyssomnias Primary Insomnia Narcolepsy Sleep Apnea Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder (jet lag, et al.) Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Medical/Substance related insomnia
Primary Insomnia "Primary", meaning no underlying medical cause Onset often with stressor or disruption to sleep schedule or environment Results from poor sleep hygiene, along with classical conditioning- Faulty learning/association of sleep environment with state of arousal
INSOMNIA- an epidemic? Definition: "Subjective" experience of poor sleep quality or quantity that adversely affects daily functioning Extremely common complaint in general practice 30-40% adults have occasional poor sleep 15-20% adults have chronic insomnia
Consequences of Insomnia Depression Irritability Decreased cognitive functioning Decreased productivity Injuries and accidents
Narcolepsy A dyssomnia characterized by poor sleep quality (restless, fragmented) and dysfunction in the transitions between sleep and wakefulness Presents with Excessive Daytime Sedation (EDS)
Narcolepsy Tetrad Classic tetrad of associated findings: 1. Sleep attacks 3. Sleep paralysis 4. Sleep hallucinations
Cataplexy Sudden loss of muscle tone (rarely full body paralysis) caused by intrusion of REM activity into daytime wakefulness Triggered by heightened emotion Average duration: 30 seconds No loss of consciousness
Sleep Paralysis Brief paralysis upon waking Remain alert with full eye movements Can occur in the absence of Narcolepsy (ie, normal variant)
Sleep Hallucinations Hypnogogic hallucinations- occur during transition into sleep Hynopompic hallucinations- occur upon awakening from sleep Can occur in the absence of Narcolepsy (ie, normal variant)
Sleep Apnea Dyssomnia characterized by poor sleep quality due to frequent awakenings (apneas) Apneas last sec-minutes Presents with excessive daytime sedation- EDS
Sleep Apnea: Two Types Obstructive Sleep Apnea: most common Central Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Classic- obese, middle-aged male with thick neck or enlarged tonsils Apneas- brief gasps…silence, followed by loud "resuscitative" snores, and sometimes body movements (restless) Usually unaware of snoring, arousals…but sleep partner is aware
Central Sleep Apnea Apneas- episodic cessation of central ventilation drive Thus snoring is less common More in elderly, with underlying CNS lesions- ex. tumor, stroke
Sleep Apnea: Consequences Depression Anxiety Morning headaches Cognitive dysfunction Hypertension
Restless Legs Syndrome Paresthesias and/or dysesthesias in the legs, relieved by movements Usually occur in transition from wakefulness to sleep
RLS Causes Peripheral neuropathies Peripheral vascular disease Medication side effects Anemia Pregnancy Renal failure
Circadian Rhythm Disorders Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome Jet Lag Accelerated Sleep Phase Syndrome Shift Work Sleep Disorder
Psychiatric Causes of Insomnia Depression Anxiety Psychosis Substance intoxication/withdrawal

10 At-Home Hair Color Secrets
Beach weather is so close we can feel it, which of course = new dye job lust. Whether you're feeling something subtle like Kim K's fresh approach to the ombré or want to hit the peroxide like there's no tomorrow (healthy hair be damned!), there's an of-the-moment color trend to guide you. Here's to making summer 2016 one for the hair-transformation books.More
A platinum dye job that skews *slightly* silver for a more rock 'n' roll vibe, it's not easy to pull off and typically suits olive complexions best. We like how J-Law has warmed things up with hints of gold around the face.
If you want to buck the norm completely, go for a matte, jet-black dye job. It's inherently sleek and looks killer with a sun-kissed glow as told by RiRI. Plus, it's way less maintenance if you've got naturally dark hair.

Camgirl Milf Allie needs back online fast, and just the right stud arrives to lay some cable
Allie lay on the bed, panting for breath – her brow damp with sweat. She was far more than damp elsewhere, as she recovered from a powerful orgasm. She'd knocked the remote for the camera off the bed during her throes of passion, but fortunately, the guy on the other end of the connection wasn't asking for any special views. He seemed as content to watch her in the afterglow of her climax...Read On

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert
You have to wonder how Chicago's front office is reacting as former Detroit coach Rod Marinelli zig-zags the country to interview with teams looking for defensive coordinators.
Marinelli's latest visit is Thursday in Houston, where the Texans have openings at both defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. Marinelli has also visited with Seattle officials and apparently has been hotly pursued around the NFL.
The Bears presumably want Marinelli to be their defensive line coach, and he could conceivably get an assistant head coach's title as well. There aren't many positive things you can say about Marinelli's tenure as a head coach, and he's never been an NFL coordinator. But he was widely respected as a defensive line coach with Tampa Bay and would be an excellent hire in that role for the Bears.
We know Marinelli is close with Bears coach Lovie Smith, but would he spurn a coordinator's job to come to Chicago? Marinelli could be facing that decision by the end of this week.
Losing out on Marinelli wouldn't preclude the Bears from finding a strong defensive line coach. But they almost certainly wouldn't find a better one.

About the Owner
About Elena Lambrou
My name is Elena Maria.I am a painter and ceramicist, have one daughter of 27 yrs.We both speak fluent English. I love making marmalades and chutneys from our fruit trees,that we offer, with any other information to make your stay pleasurable. Thankyou in advance.
Why Elena Lambrou chose Thessaly
Moved to this paradise,although from Athens, 30 yrs ago, to be far from the city.We have the ideal location for a small ceramics workshop, and also a shop 'Armoloi'at the harbour. The first beach, Stafylos, is at 3 klm. distance,easy walk from the property.
What makes this house unique
The benefits are:vicinity of town,[walking distance], and port at 1.5km. First beach 3 km. Tranquility, green shaded areas under plane and olive trees. Also 2 supermarkets nearby. Swimming pool, 4 x 10m. amongst exotic flowers and beautiful view of the surrounding hills.

If you like things a little off the beaten track, this was perfect. Cottage was lovely and had a nice sized pool. Would go back in a shot!
For our first holiday on a Greek island I don't think we could have found a better place to stay! Elena and her daughter Dimitra are simply wonderful; the house is perfect and so are the pool and garden. One can easily walk into town and back. There are lots of minibuses and buses to go to fantastic beaches further out. We did rent a car so that we could be more independent and we drove up into the fabulous mountains and walked to the various monasteries and sites. We will try to come again and stay in the lovely Armoloi cotto. We hated leaving! Thank you Elena and Dimitra
We have been renting apartments, cottages and villas in Greece for 30 years and this is the best of all those we have stayed in. Near but not too near the town and within walking distance, very near a bus stop, not on a main road, quiet, a nice pool, a lovely garden and a charming shaded cottage. There are plenty of walks along quiet lanes if you want to explore the surrounding countryside. Elena is wonderful, discreet but always on hand if you need anything. We enjoyed the cottage, pool and garden so much that some days we stayed where we were. We have never done that before. I really recommend a stay.
The website pictures and information provide an accurate description of the property and location. The villa was situated in a quiet area, between the owner's (Elena's) house and the other small villa available for rental from Elena. In my experience it is hard to find a small villa for two, especially one with such a generously sized swimming pool. We very much appreciated the peace and tranquility, always looking forward to returning to the villa after a trip out. The villa was within easy walking distance of the town/port – approximately 15-20 minutes. A car is not essential, but we hired one for 3 days in the middle of our stay in order to access all parts of the beautiful island. There are two well-stocked supermarkets within less than a 10 minute walk. In reality we spent very little time in the villa itself – however, we slept well at night thanks to the efficient air-conditioning system and the shower worked well with a plentiful supply of hot water. We liked the various options for eating our meals – front and back of the villa and by the pool.
Elena far exceeded our expectations – we couldn't have asked for more! We very much appreciated the pick up from the port, drop-off at the end of our stay, and a lift to the supermarket on the first day. There were so many other little touches: a welcome bottle of wine, herbs, home-made marmalade, home-made olive oil. Further 'gifts' appeared during our stay: olives, home-made chutney, more home-made marmalade, peppers, onions. We were a little surprised there was no BBQ, but Elena explained why and provided one for us to use. Elena was very approachable and we really enjoyed our chats with her and meeting her dogs!
I am rather surprised at the overly negative comments made by Dana from Romania. Perhaps some of the fixtures/fittings are not 5 star, but I prefer to appreciate things like the lovely hand-painted tiles in the bathroom (of which I took some photos). The villa had everything we needed. I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends and we hope to stay here again in the future (especially if we can negotiate to have sole use of the pool again!). We love eating by the sea and Skopelos offers so many possibilities for this (as do all the other Greek islands!). We particularly enjoyed our meals at Glisteri (Palio Karnayio), Agnondas (Pavlos), on the harbour front in Skopelos, as well as the snack bar at Ayios Ioannis Kastri. Overall, the holiday was 5 star!
If you are thinking
A Lovely Holiday!
My wife and I spent a wonderful week in Armoloi Blue cottage. The owner, Elena, is a lovely lady who was very helpful and friendly to us throughout. Her delicious home-made marmalade was a real treat at breakfast. The cottage itself has a wonderful, rustic charm and is very quiet, clean and well-kept. The tiled floor is cool and comfortable to walk on. The bedroom is air-conditioned, there's a good-sized fridge in the kitchen and there was always plenty of hot water for the shower. Outside in the mature garden there is a superb swimming pool, stunningly illuminated at night. There are pleasant eating areas at the front and the back of the house. In terms of location, we found it to be absolutely ideal. From the cottage, it is just a short walk into Skopelos Town and harbour where there are an amazing number of places to eat and drink, all in a buzzing and friendly atmosphere. In the other direction, 3km away along the quiet Old Road, are the picturesque beaches of Stafilos and Velanio. Also, two of the best supermarkets on Skopelos are both within 5 minutes walk of the house, a real convenience that should not be under-estimated. All in all, we enjoyed a lovely holiday at Armoloi and would happily return another time. Thank you Elena.
Wow! What a fantastic, wonderful place, we cannot recommend this little piece of heaven enough. This was our fifth stay and We'll be back next year, only wish We could have stayed longer.
The cottage Armoloi is so cute and homely, and the pool perfect, it is so tranquil...we picked our own lemons from the trees at the back.
Elena as ever was a perfect host and brought us home made marmalade, hand picked herbs and artichokes and couldn't do enough to make us feel at home.
The place was spotlessly clean, the cleaner came twice a week and pool cleaner on weds and sats.
We can't wait until we come back...highly recommend if you want romantic, escape from it all place and also only a short distance from town.

USA Today do Disco
While author Johnny Morgan continues to blog over at http://johnnymorgansrumdo.blogspot.com where he's giving his view of the world as seen through disco goggles, the book Disco; The Music, The Times, The Era continues to garner great reviews. A few weeks back (we've just discovered) America's only national newspaper USA Today gave a big shout out for it. As they said, the book 'captures the era through detailed storytelling and lavish vintage photos'.
We've also just met The Society For The Preservation & Propagation of Disco, and would urge all true disco freaks to sign up at their facebook page:
And finally, we're about to go all Punk & Post Punk. An old friend in New York has just part of his truly unique and exhaustive collection of flyers, posters, handbills and memorabilia from 1976-1982 currently on show at the Steven Kasher Gallery until the end of this week (August 19, 2011). It's the Rude & Reckless: Punk/Post-Punk Graphics exhibition. If you're in Manhattan, get down there quick before it all disappears. Though much will reappear in book form, soon, we hope. http://www.stevenkasher.com

Ponche Navideño
Trust me, you want to be the one in charge of beverages this holiday season. Let's face it, you're going to
want need something to sip on when that crazy uncle corners you in the living room and grills you on the election. Aaaand, if you are indeed participating in awkward family drinking rituals, why not at least make it a beverage of your choosing. My feelings about punch are well documented. They're easy to make in advance (even encouraged), they're festive, and they're absolutely packed with flavor. So, when I tell you that this particular punch is undoubtedly the best I have ever concocted, I don't say so lightly. Make this punch. Some of the ingredients can be a bit tricky to track down, but I recommend checking a Mexican market. Be sure to make it the night before, not only to save time, but also so that all the goodies can soak together like a big, crowded, friendly, communal spa. Oops, wrong visual . . . but you get the idea!
Ponche Navideño is a traditional Mexican Christmas punch, made with an intoxicating blend of fruits, nuts, and spices. I took a few liberties with my version, namely, I chose to serve it cold rather than hot (although it's delicious either way). If you're familiar with the traditional recipe, you'll notice a few other minor tweaks. However, I made sure to preserve all the ingredients that I believe are vital to giving this punch its unique identity: tejocotes, hibiscus, guavas, and tamarindo, to name a few.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving! With gratitude, Karen, Todd and Erica.
The Holiday Giving Gift Basket
The holidays are all about family and friends and there's nothing I love more than feasting together, giving gifts and enjoying each other's company. I consider myself fortunate that we can enjoy something as simple as a home cooked meal together– something many people aren't able to do. This year, I've teamed up with Land O'Lakes to inspire you to bring some good to your gifts. I put together these gift baskets with my favorite Salted White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie recipe, the ingredients to make the cookies and some other goodies, like measuring spoons and candles. More importantly, I've made a donation request in my gift basket by asking my friends to donate money to an organization I support, the LA Regional Food Bank. The LA Regional Food Bank does the amazing work of providing meals to the thousands of people who experience food insecurity in Los Angeles. To encourage people to donate, I'm providing a stamped self-addressed envelope and a letter asking friends to give at certain monetary levels and providing information about the incredible impact their donations will have– for every $1 donated 4 meals are provided for someone in need. Rather than just providing a donation yourself, you are making a bigger impact by asking others to pay it forward. When asking for donations from others, keep in mind to ask for donations directly, provide monetary amounts that they can give at (letting people know how much you are donating is a great way to set an example!) and give compelling facts about what their donation can do and why it is so needed. I sincerely hope you'll consider doing a gift basket fundraiser for an organization you support and bring some good to your holidays!
Good is easy if you just start small. A little can change it all. Learn more from Land O Lakes®
Mexican Street Corn Casserole
Ah, Mexican street corn. This Mexican street snack is one of my favorites. Yes, it's slathered with mayonnaise and covered in cheese, but if there's any time to take life's indulgences to the extreme, it's now– thank YOU, Thanksgiving! I've taken the traditional Mexican street corn cob and turned it into a casserole that is entirely appropriate for your holiday table. It has the same flavors of Mexican street corn but with the perks of being in a casserole form, i.e., easier to face-shovel and no floss required!

The anti-Israel left, which supports boycott and sanctions of Israel, paints it as a repressive, apartheid and militarist state. While Israel is hardl...
Read Whole Story
At a time when the voices of bigotry, racism, and war mongering have in many ways, become the loudest, we cannot allow New York State to silence those students fighting for peace. This nation, and indeed the world, need their voices now more than ever.
The boycott, divestment and sanctions movement was launched in 2005 by representatives of Palestinian civil society.
Israel seems to be undergoing a protracted period of gloom and doom. The quarreling about its future leaders and possible downfall of Netanyahu make Israel look weak and incompetent.
On May 31st, I addressed the Ambassadors Against BDS International Summit at the United Nations, which was hosted by the Israeli Mission to the UN:
As BDS racks up victory after victory, gaining new members daily, especially among young people and people of color, the forces of reaction are gathering together to try to stem the tide. But they are facing an uphill battle, and they know it.
Our lawmakers in Sacramento aren't making much sense.

Less than one month after the University of California Regents took a swipe at the First Amendment, voting to denounce and conflate "anti-Semitic anti-Zionist" language on campus, the California state Legislature will take up Santa Monica Assemblyman (D) Richard Bloom's bill.
If members of the BDS Movement, and supporters of its agenda, were truly passionate about the Palestinian people and their livelihood, they would realize that solely blaming Israel is not the answer, and would seek to create reform within the Palestinian Authority.
In recent years, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement has steadily advanced a poisonous culture of hate and anti-Semitism in our coun...

When the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) comes to town this week for their annual policy conference, high on the agenda of issues they'll be pushing Congress to support are bills designed to "fight the boycott of Israel."
In the 2000's I helped pass two bills shoring up Colorado's public employee pension plan (PERA). Having opted out of social security in the 1930's, PE...
First, when it comes to so-called moral voices trying to impose peace, the onus always falls squarely on Israel, because the more powerful side is always assumed to be the one at fault.
Will Palestine look any better in 2016? Are there any sources of optimism and hope amid these bleak facts and the current events unfolding? Yes, I argue, despite all the odds.
When the debate visits a campus, it typically leaves behind a campus in shambles: friendships and relationships are severed, people stop talking to each other, and the overall educational mission of the institution is irreparably harmed.
The bill requires divestment from and prohibits business transactions, contracts, and investment with companies, contractors, subcontractors, NGOs and/or individuals that boycott an allied nation or companies of an allied nation -- Israel.
In recent years, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement has gained increasing traction at universities, academic associations, municipalities, churches, unions, pension funds, and investment portfolios in America and around the globe.
It's no secret that American campuses are becoming extremely hostile to Israel. The growth of Students for Justice in Palestine, BDS proposals, Apartheid Weeks, and so on, mean that all the anti-Israel discourse anyone could want is freely available.
Things are usually more creative on the margins, a notion that became evident during the recently concluded meetings of the American Anthropological A...
What Israel needs now is a new approach -- one that does not involve any physical risk of actual withdrawal, but still demonstrates to Israelis, Palestinians, and to the world at large that Israel intends to separate from the Palestinians and carry out the UN mandates of two states.
Why do Palestinian groups and individuals continue to use violence against civilians? It's the billion-dollar question at the heart of the conflict that no one is seriously addressing. And it might hold the key to peace.
It is predominantly young Palestinian people, seeing what they consider the brutal theft of their religion and culture, who are paying a disproportionate price in an asymmetrical war.

A few days ago, Paul Graham posted one of his famous essays, How to Get Startup Ideas. You won't find a better piece of advice on generating your idea for your startup. It is a long essay but worth reading.
Here you have a summary of key seven take-aways:
1. Look for problems that people care
Fixing a problem YOU have, is the best way to ensure that the problem really exists.
Made-Up Startup ideas usually focus on problems nobody actually cares.
At YC we call these "made-up" or "sitcom" startup ideas. Imagine one of the characters on a TV show was starting a startup. The writers would have to invent something for it to do. But coming up with good startup ideas is hard. It's not something you can do for the asking. So (unless they got amazingly lucky) the writers would come up with an idea that sounded plausible, but was actually bad.
2. Who are the people that really need what you are making?
You have better chances if you focus on something a small number of people want a large amount. In made-up startup ideas usually lots of people are middy interested.
When you have an idea for a startup, ask yourself: who wants this right now? Who wants this so much that they'll use it even when it's a crappy version one made by a two-person startup they've never heard of? If you can't answer that, the idea is probably bad.
3. Be at the leading edge of a field — "Live in the future"
A good idea will come as the result of some external stimulus hitting a prepared mind. To have good startup ideas you have to become the sort of person who has them. "If you're at the leading edge of a field that's changing fast, when you have a hunch that something is worth doing, you're more likely to be right."
The verb you want to be using with respect to startup ideas is not "think up" but "notice." At YC we call ideas that grow naturally out of the founders' own experiences "organic" startup ideas. The most successful startups almost all begin this way.
Paul Buchheit says that people at the leading edge of a rapidly changing field "live in the future."
4. Build what seems interesting
To 'notice' a good idea you need to give yourself some time. You have control over the rate at which you become a prepared mind, but you have less control over the stimuli that will spark your idea.
Just as trying to think up startup ideas tends to produce bad ones, working on things that could be dismissed as "toys" often produces good ones. […] if you're living in the future and you build something cool that users love, it may matter more than outsiders think. Microcomputers seemed like toys when Apple and Microsoft started working on them.
5. Clash of domains is a fruitful source of ideas.
If you are a software expert and start learning about some other field, you'll probably see problems you can fix programming.
…if you're a CS major and you want to start a startup, instead of taking a class on entrepreneurship you're better off taking a class on, say, genetics. Or better still, go work for a biotech company.
6. Better a good idea with competitors than a bad one without.
You don't need to worry about entering a "crowded market" so long as you have a thesis about what everyone else in it is overlooking.
Because a good idea should seem obvious, when you have one you'll tend to feel that you're late […] Worrying that you're late is one of the signs of a good idea.
7. Don't discard the unsexy and difficult
There are two filters you ned to turn off when noticing ideas: the unsexy filter and the schlep filter.
The unsexy filter is similar to the schlep filter, except it keeps you from working on problems you despise rather than ones you fear.
The seven points can be summed up in one recipe:
Live in the future and build what seems interesting.
What do you think of Paul Graham's advice?

Beauty And The Beast Season 3. Jay Ryan is the sexiest man on TV. See video!
On June 11, 2015, Beauty And The Beast Season 3 begins! Are you excited? For sure! Life has been dull without meeting actor Jay Ryan playing the role as Vincent Keller, and Kristin Kreuk as Catherine 'Cat' Chandler. They are the most romantic couple on TV. And of course, I missed Austin Basis as J.T. Forbes too. But nothing lasts forever and tomorrow, they will be on our small screen again. Good!
Beauty And The Beast Season 3 episode 1 has the suggestive title of 'Beast of Wallstreet.' It's written by Brad Kern and directed by Jeff Renfroe. What will happen? For the nonce, you can see this preview, some little clues and actor Jay Ryan still sexier than ever. Don't you think so? Tell us your opinion now!
Remember that Vincent and Cat will be living as an ordinary couple now, but the challenge on season 3 will be whether they can keep outside forces from tearing them apart. I'm sure that after some struggles and difficulties their love will be reinforce. Why? Because they are simply the best and true love always triumphs!
Video: Jay Ryan previews Beauty and the Beast's third season premiere, Thursday at 8/7c. Only some hours are left!
And now some data: on May 8, 2014, Beauty & the Beast was renewed for a third season of 13 episodes. Filming on season started on August 29, 2014, and ended on February 12, 2015. Beauty & the Beast Season three was set to premiere on May 21, 2015, but was moved by The CW to June 11, 2015… Tomorrow is the day!
Enjoy your day, Yareah friends. Art is everywhere and up to you! Summer is coming and it will be fantastic!

If Engineering students have a Management degree or do MBA then they can make their career in Project Management, front end sales, field applications and customer facing jobs. Doing MBA while working strains you a lot but later on it will help you in making a good career.
Both M.tech degree and MBA have their own importance in the respective feilds.Whether it may be IT company, R&D organization or any manufacturing company M.Tech and MBA candidates are being hired. The candidate with M.Tech would be specialized in the subjects while candidates with MBA can make their career in product marketing, sales, project management, human resources, IT process, consulting or customer service management.
Doing M.Tech in a particular field will definitely make you more valuable to a company that has business profile of that field. MBA, on other hand, will give you a totally different business perspective and is broader in scope.
How to decide whether to go for M.Tech or MBA?
One thing here is you need to decide upon your capabilities, career goals and interests. If you want to make career in technical field then M.Tech will be better option. You can even go for teaching as well as research. If you want to work in industry then MBA is one of the best option.MBA is a management course that will enhance your managerial, communication and presentation skills.
MBA is being offered in various specializations like MBA in marketting,MBA in Finance,MBA in HR,MBA in IT and many more. After this you can enter in the field of business and administration.
Sometimes even it depends upon the company also if the company is completely based on Innovation and technical related things then M.Tech would be the best option.
There are various top colleges in India that M.Tech course both through regular mode and through distance mode. M.Tech in India is also provided in various specializations it depends upon the candidates interest and his future prospects which one to choose for him/her. M.Tech—electronics and controls engineering, VLSI design communication systems, embedded systems technology, power electronics and drives, digital communication and networking, remote sensing and GIS, information technology, computer science and engineering, and biomedical and instrumentation engineering.
Even there are many top management colleges in India and best MBA colleges in India that offers MBA through both regular and distance mode.MBA in India is also being offered in various specializations. Some really good institutes for studying M.Tech are all the IITs, Delhi Technological University (formerly Delhi College of Engineering), Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT), NITs and Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS). Some MBA colleges of repute are all the IIMs, FMS, XLRI and IIFT. IIMs top the list in MBA training.
Entrance exam:
In order seek admissions in M.Tech colleges in India one needs to crack GATE Exam. And for seeking admissions in top MBA colleges one needs to crack to CAT,MAT,XAT and other various entrance exams. After B.E if you wish to change the career to management field then you can opt for MBA. An MBA will make you perfect for the group leader. Hence both the programs always play an important role. It depends upon one's ability and interest to opt for.

W. Rhys Roberts translation
Chapters 18-22
But, what are we next to say of questions and interrogations? Is it not precisely by the visualizing qualities of these figures that Demosthenes strives to make his speeches far more effective and impressive? 'Pray tell me,--tell me, you sir,--do you wish to go about and inquire of one another, Is there any news? Why, what greater news could there be than this, that a Macedonian is subduing Greece? Is Philip dead? No; but he is ill. Dead or ill, what difference to you? Should anything happen to him, you will speedily create another Philip' (Philippic 1, 10, at Perseus). Again he says, 'Let us sail against Macedonia. Where shall we find a landing-place? someone asks. The war itself will discover the weak places in Philip's position'(Philippic 1, 44, at Perseus) All this, if stated plainly and directly, would have been altogether weaker. As it is, the excitement, and the rapid play of question and answer, and the plan of meeting his own objections as though they were urged by another, have by the help of the figure made the language used not only more elevated but also more convincing. 2. For an exhibition of passion has a greater effect when it seems not to be studied by the speaker himself but to be inspired by the occasion; and questions asked and answered by oneself simulate a natural outburst of passion. For just as those who are interrogated by others experience a sudden excitement and answer the inquiry incisively and with the utmost candour, so the figure of question and answer leads the hearer to suppose that each deliberate thought is struck out and uttered on the spur of the moment, and so beguiles his reason. We may further quote that passage of Herodotus which is regarded as one of the most elevated: 'if thus.......'
The words issue forth without connecting links and are poured out as it were, almost outstripping the speaker himself. 'Locking their shields,' says Xenophon, 'they thrust fought slew fell' (Hellenica IV. 3, 19, at Perseus). 2. And so with the words of Eurylochus:--
For the lines detached from one another, but none the less hurried along, produce the impression of an agitation which interposes obstacles and at the same time adds impetuosity. This result Homer has produced by the omission of conjunctions.
A powerful effect usually attends the union of figures for a common object, when two or three mingle together as it were in partnership, and contribute a fund of strength, persuasiveness, beauty. Thus, in the speech against Meidias, examples will be found of asyndeton, interwoven with instances of anaphora and diatyposis. 'For the smiter can do many things (some of which the sufferer cannot even describe to another) by attitude, by look, by voice' (Against Midias, 72). 2. Then, in order that the narrative may not, as it advances, continue in the same groove (for continuance betokens tranquillity, while passion--the transport and commotion of the soul-- sets order at defiance), straightway he hurries off to other Asyndeta and Repetitions. 'By attitude, by look, by voice, when he acts with insolence, when he acts like an enemy, when he smites with his fists, when he smites you like a slave.' By these words the orator produces the same effect as the assailant--he strikes the mind of the judges by the swift succession of blow on blow. 3. Starting from this point again, as suddenly as a gust of wind, he makes another attack. 'When smitten with blows of fists,' he says, 'when smitten upon the cheek. These things stir the blood, these drive men beyond themselves, when unused to insult. No one can, in describing them, convey a notion of the indignity they imply.' So he maintains throughout, though with continual variation, the essential character of the Repetitions and Asyndeta. In this way, with him, order is disorderly, and on the other hand disorder contains a certain element of order.
Come now, add, if you please, in these cases connecting particles after the fashion of the followers of Isocrates. 'Furthermore, this fact too must not be overlooked that the smiter may do many things, first by attitude, then by look, then again by the mere voice.' You will feel, if you transcribe the passage in this orderly fashion, that the rugged impetuosity of passion, once you make it smooth and equable by adding the copulatives, falls pointless and immediately loses all its fire. 2. Just as the binding of the limbs of runners deprives them of their power of rapid motion, so also passion, when shackled by connecting links and other appendages, chafes at the restriction, for it loses the freedom of its advance and its rapid emission as though from an engine of war.
Hyperbata, or inversions, must be placed under the same category. They are departures in the order of expressions or ideas from the natural sequence; and they bear, it may be said, the very stamp and impress of vehement emotion. Just as those who are really moved by anger, or fear, or indignation, or jealousy, or any other emotion (for the passions are many and countless, and none can give their number), at times turn aside, and when they have taken one thing as their subject often leap to another, foisting in the midst some irrelevant matter, and then again wheel round to their original theme, and driven by their vehemence, as by a veering wind, now this way now that with rapid changes, transform their expressions, their thoughts, the order suggested by a natural sequence, into numberless variations of every kind; so also among the best writers it is by means of hyberbaton that imitation approaches the effects of nature. For art is perfect when it seems to be nature, and nature hits the mark when she contains art hidden within her. We may illustrate by the words of Dionysius of Phocaea in Herodotus. 'Our fortunes lie on a razor's edge, men of Ionia; for freedom or for bondage, and that the bondage of runaway slaves. Now, therefore, if you choose to submit to hardships, you will have toil for the moment, but you will be able to overcome your foes (Histories, 6.11, at Perseus). 2. Here the natural order would have been: 'Men of Ionia, now is the time for you to meet hardships; for our fortunes lie on a razor's edge.' But the speaker postpones the words 'Men of Ionia.' He starts at once with the danger of the situation, as though in such imminent peril he had no time at all to address his hearers. Moreover, he inverts the order of ideas. For instead of saying that they ought to endure hardships, which is the real object of his exhortation, he first assigns the reason because of which they ought to endure hardships, in the words 'our fortunes lie on a razor's edge.' The result is that what he says seems not to be premeditated but to be prompted by the necessities of the moment. 3. In a still higher degree Thucydides is most bold and skilful in disjoining from one another by means of transpositions things that are by nature intimately united and indivisible. Demosthenes is not so masterful as Thucydides, but of all writers he most abounds in this kind of figure, and through his use of hyperbata makes a great impression of vehemence, yes and of unpremeditated speech, and moreover draws his hearers with him into all the perils of his long inversions. 4. For he will often leave in suspense the thought which he has begun to express, and meanwhile he will heap, into a position seemingly alien and unnatural, one thing upon another parenthetically and from any external source whatsoever, throwing his hearer into alarm lest the whole structure of his words should fall to pieces, and compelling him in anxious sympathy to share the peril of the speaker; and then unexpectedly, after a long interval, he adds the long-awaited conclusion at the right place, namely the end, and produces a far greater effect by this very use, so bold and hazardous, of hyperbaton. Examples may be spared because of their abundance.
