The credit for introducing cement goes to an English mason, Joseph Aspdin, who prepared it in 1824 by heating a mixture of finely powdered clay and limestone. The product resembled Portland rock, a popular building stone of England. The name 'Portland Cement' was thus given to it. In India, its manufacture began in 1914 at Porbandar. We are now producing several million tons of this important building material. In good quality cement, the following ratios of constituents are maintained.
In the manufacture of cement, the basic raw materials, namely, clay (that provides Al2O3 and SiO2) and limestone (that provides lime) are mixed in appropriate amounts, pulverized, homogenized and fed into a rotary kiln (Fig) and heated to 1700 K.
The roasted product, thus obtained, is called cement clinker. It is mixed with gypsum ( 2-3% of its weight to regulates the setting ) and ground to a fine powder.
Fig. Manufacture of cement
When water is mixed with the cement, a gelatinous mass is obtained which soon sets to a hard mass. The reactions taking place are quite complicated but essentially the strength of the cement is due to the formation of three-dimensional cross links between - Si-O-Si-O- and -Si-O-Al-chains.

India has successfully met targets to reduce the spread of HIV and improve the availability of drinking water but has a long way to go in improving sanitation facilities and providing universal access to reproductive healthcare, the latest World Health Statistics report has found.
Findings showed that although the proportion of Indians using improved sources of drinking water rose from 70% in 1990 to 93% in 2012, the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities rose from 18% to only 36% over the same period.1
India made progress in controlling HIV and tuberculosis. Prevalence of HIV/AIDS fell from 222 per 100 000 in 2001 to 166 per 100 000 in 2013. However, only 36% of those …

Bloomberg News
June 19 (Bloomberg) -- Umpqua Holdings Corp., owner of Umpqua Bank in Oregon, bought its third failed lender this year, agreeing to acquire Nevada Security Bank.
The bank in Reno, Nevada, was seized yesterday by state regulators, according to a statement posted on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. website. Umpqua, based in Portland, Oregon, said it will expand into Nevada with the purchase, which boosts its number of branches to 181.
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said yesterday in a speech that the U.S. needs new rules for loan origination, securitization and servicing as banks continue to fail. She cited a "lack of market discipline" that resulted in more than $2.1 trillion of securities issued between 2004 and 2006 that were backed by subprime mortgages or home loans made to borrowers not required to document their income.
"The financial crisis was triggered by a reckless departure from tried and true, common-sense loan underwriting practices," Bair said in prepared remarks at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in Philadelphia. "The FDIC is in the midst of cleaning up the damage."
Nevada Security Bank, with five branches, had $480.3 million in assets and $479.8 million in deposits, the FDIC said. The FDIC and Umpqua will share any losses on $368.2 million of the assets. The agency said the transaction will probably drain $80.9 million from its deposit-insurance fund.
Umpqua acquired Rainier Pacific Bank of Tacoma, Washington, and Seattle-based Evergreen Bank earlier this year. In 2009, it purchased the failed Bank of Clark County in Vancouver, Washington.
Problem Lenders
The FDIC's list of "problem" lenders is the longest in 17 years. Bair has said the confidential list rose to 775 banks with $431 billion in assets in the first quarter. That's an increase from 702 banks with $402.8 billion in assets at the end of the fourth quarter.
Umpqua rose 21 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $12.56 yesterday in regular Nasdaq Stock Market trading. It has climbed about 50 percent in the past year, compared with the 37 percent gain of the 24-company KBW Bank Index.

Step 2. Go to the ladder to get in the Tree House.
Step 3. Click on the Marooned Outfit in the left part of the screen.
The item is really bad. Isn't cool to pay to be a member and get things like this.

Apple Brandy Gingerbread Snack Cake
Recipe by HeatherFeather
Looking for a new twist on ordinary gingerbread? After baking, flip this gingerbread over and it will have a topping of buttery, sugar glazed apples soaked in brandy. I clipped this recipe years ago from a McCall's magazine.
Top Review by Lorac
I have never made a "from scratch" gingerbread before. This cake is densely rich in flavor, yet light and moist in texture. The fresh apple, butter, brandy topping transforms gingerbread to a whole new level of enjoyment! The only thing I changed, was to substitute Macintosh apples for the Granny Smiths and cooked it for 35 minutes. I served this warm, topped with vanilla ice cream. The prep time is under estimated, it takes 30 minutes to prep and cook the apples but the end result is worth it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 lbs cooking apples, peeled,halved,and thinly sliced (such as Granny Smith)
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1⁄4 cup apple brandy or 1⁄4 cup other apple liqueur or 1⁄4 cup apple cider
- 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup canola oil
- 3⁄4 cup molasses
- 3⁄4 cup boiling water
- 2 large eggs
- nonstick cooking spray
Directions See How It's Made
- Line a 9x13" baking pan with foil, leaving extra long ends of foil extending over the short sides of the pans (to use handles for removing the cake later on).
- Spray the foil all over with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large, nonsick skillet, melt butter on medium-high heat.
- Add apple slices and saute until almost tender, about 8 minutes, stirring often.
- Add 1/4 cup of the sugar to the pan and stir; saute another 4 minutes or until apples are glazed.
- Remove pan from heat and set onto a hot pad.
- Carefully pour in the brandy.
- Return pan to the heat and cook about 2 minutes or until the liquid has almost evaporated.

|Reviews for Twice the Man
| Bakerstreet Blues chapter 5 . 9/8/2016
Just a note...Your writing style is magnificent
| shhIwasn'there chapter 5 . 12/1/2013
Oh god I knew it. And I cried and cried and cried and then brawled.
My brother is watching 'one flu over the cuckoos nest' and it's got these scenes in a mental hospital with lots of mentally Ill screaming patients. And I was sobbing loudly. And he looked at me crying my eyes out over my iPad and laughed and pointed at the screaming tv screen and said "they must send you to one of these places "
But god ... I don't honk I've ever read anything this brilliant. It was full of suspense and mystery. The supernatural was awesome. Had its humorous moments. And then turned into one of the most heartbreaking tragedies ever...
And the ending was just beautiful. Simple.
God here I go crying again. Damn...
| shhIwasn'there chapter 4 . 12/1/2013
I was gonna say that! House liked up on Wilson's symptoms. Didn't wanna believe Wilson was sick so he made stuff up.
| shhIwasn'there chapter 3 . 12/1/2013
Oh you sneaky! Tingling feet? Upset stomach? Cuddy telling him he looks worse than House? Wilson IS sick! Isn't he? You are throwing us the hints. Is Wilson having blackouts? ...but he was with Cuddy then when House was speaking to him...
Is houses subconscious picking up on Wilson's illness?
Oh this is too good.
| shhIwasn'there chapter 1 . 12/1/2013
Ooh loving the creepy paranormal suspense. Genius!
| LoriB chapter 5 . 9/18/2011
Not quite sure why it's taken me so long to read some of your older fics but this was truly incredible. Not only was it very unique but it is so IC to what would actually happen to House in a situation like this. I was crying by the end and it's left a definite mark on me. Very moving, thanks for sharing your incredible talent once again!
| sami1010220 chapter 5 . 10/22/2010
omg, that was one of the saddest stories i've ever read. i KNEW it was wilson! well, during the third chapter anyway, lol. great job, very suspensful
| Regency chapter 5 . 2/11/2010
Crap, I'm pretty sure I've already read this and reviewed it, but I just read it again and it's still gorgeous. I mean, really beautiful. It hurts, too. Just, ow, like a physical pain. You portrayed Wilson and House's relationship beautifully. This is what they have, all they have. They've both mortgaged every other relationship in their lives for each other and, in the end, what does that mean other than they have to say goodbye? Yeah, this is a story for the favorites.
| Kalo-Balo chapter 5 . 1/12/2010
ah... love your story... but so sad... Don't think I've cried that much over a fanfiction for a while.
You captured their personalities well, and the last half of the chapter drowned me in tears.
Thanks for the great fan fiction.
| iHamster chapter 5 . 7/6/2009
oh so sad but the ending was perfect! That was great :)
| iHamster chapter 4 . 7/4/2009
"Kutner think's it's an allergy."
"Kutner's and idiot."
That remark was so House-ish it made me laugh.
| iHamster chapter 3 . 7/4/2009
This chapter made me cry so hard! :(
| Bloodmoon-Shinigami chapter 5 . 1/26/2009
Oh god, I can't express the depth of the sadness I am feeling right now. I could have tasted the grief that you built between House and Wilson in that final scene, felt the air charged with the silent screams of utter heart-breaking despair. All that went unsaid, yet managed to pass between two undeniably linked souls that would have bled pure love and comaraderie in those moments... Beautiful.
You are positively divine and I am infatuated with your ability.
| Heidinanookie chapter 5 . 1/25/2009
Oh god, that was so sad! The ending really made me cry. I hate to admit it but you really have a very accurate idea of how House and Wilson would act in various kinds of crises.
the story set-up reminded me of one of my favourite Stargate SG1-episodes ("Grace") where Sam Carter is stranded alone in space on an abandoned ship and has visions of his friends, talking to her, giving advice, consoling her,... and they always appear out of nothing and disappear again in the blink of an eye, leaving her alone again.
I think House will keep his little hallucination. Wilson will always be with him that way. In that aspect, it's a hopeful story.
| angelcat2865 chapter 5 . 1/18/2009
This story is heartbreaking. Well done.

20th Century Fox has dated The Three Stooges, Peter and Bobby Farrelly's take on the iconic comedy trio, for April 4, 2012. Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos star as the threesome; Jane Lynch, Jennifer Hudson, Sofia Vergara, Craig Bierko, Stephen Collins, and Larry David co-star. The story revolves around the boys as they become embroiled in an oddball murder plot and stumble into starring in a hit reality TV series while trying to save their childhood orphanage.
Fox Dates 'The Three Stooges': April 4, 2012
19 Comments
I have been following news of the production of this film for months. Now there's a release date. I still don't know what to think. This could go either way…..totally brilliant or a complete disaster. Either way, I am INTRIGUED! Can't wait.
i think what's lost is that the stooges made the simple seem simple when it was actually much more layered and complicated to pull off….all three actors had an understanding on this goofiness that when you try to mimic it as this project really will be….it will just come off as an impersonation….not what was truly original about each of their talent….there are SO many classic moments in the Stooges library that no one….i mean NO ONE could pull off today….this might be a HOMAGE or something close to it…but if these guys don't acknowledge the legacy of the Stooges to cinema history….they are destined to have this be a disaster of epic fail. i am 24 and have just discovered their talent in the last 2 years and pretty astonished of what they achieved….few comedians could pull this off today without resulting to R-rated toilet humor that clearly lacks any imagination, wit or talent!
you hit this right on the money. i have been watching the stooges for 45 years. it is not just them. the shorts surrounded the trio with a group of very eclectic actors. this cannot be dupilcated…
Wait, this is set in the modern day? I thought it was a Bio-Pic.
Now I'm SURE it's a bomb in the wings.
Lock your doors and hide your kids on April 4th 2012
Every other studio should FIGHT for that release date. This has 4th place written all over it.
That plot sounds like a mess and I'm sure the A-listers who were previously attached are happy to have jumped off.
^Completely agree…either gonna be really good or awful…good to see Larry David with a role..im sure he'll be funny as always
My friends made this. It's pretty easy to say, "Hey, this will surely suck!" But I choose to have faith in my friends, who love the Stooges and have been trying to make this movie for a very long time. It may seem crazy silly/stupid to be passionate about 3 guys hitting each other over the head, but Pete and Bob are. They care. So go ahead and dismiss it. I'm going to believe it'll be great until I see any evidence otherwise. And if that evidence comes, I'll still have hope because Larry David plays a nun. Now go watch some Cougar Town, or whatever we end up calling it. How about "Suck Town" oh blow me Internet, I'm way ahead of you.
I won't cast judgment on this film until i get the chance to see it, but from the mere plot alone, it doesn't sound too promising but again, we shall see.
Stooges remake? I don't get it. Thought they weren't funny when I was ten, and don't imagine they'll be much better now. I wont be buying a ticket.
I'm sorry, I just can't NOT trash talk this concept. Certain roles are defined by the comedy actors themselves, not the characters. You can't just swap these people out with C-list look-alikes.
Imagine a remake of See No Evil Hear No Evil starring Rob Huebel and Jay Pharoah? Or Tommy Boy starring Dan Fogler and Vincent Kartheiser? Or Dumb and Dumber starring Derek Richardson and Eric Chrstian Ols….. oh wait a minute.
Can anyone think of previous hits released in April? Off-hand I can't and I think this does not bode well for the film.
The thing that bothers me is the idea that this "movie" is really three 27-minute stories strung together – an homage to the original Three Stooges shorts most of us watched growing up (or still do). This would seem to hurt any continuity the movie might have.
Also, it appears the film will have a contemporary setting. That does not seem to play to the Stooges "legacy". Their shorts were mini-period pieces, where they usually were taking down some high-class "swells". Making the Stooges contemporary will be as successful as the "modernized" film version of the Little Rascals. Would anyone try to do the same with a remake of the Marx Brothers, Ritz Brothers, Abott & Costello, or Laurel & Hardy? Let's hope not.
This film is a curiosity. It has many talented actors but as we have seen many times a good cast doesn't gaurantee a good film. Maybe this one becomes cult hit years from now, but all signs point to a disappointing April for the Stooges.
Oh man oh man. When del toro, Penn and Carey were mentioned as the three this was something to watch….now, not so much.
I'm a huge fan of the original Three Stooges in all their incarnations and am curious about this film. Art the same time, the plot description of "an oddball murder plot and stumble into starring in a hit reality TV series while trying to save their childhood orphanage" has me worried. It sounds, since I've not read the script, like a studio telling a writer to hit buttons to appeal to demographics, making it 'relevant for today's audience' etc. etc. Check out the awesome The Artist to see how a film, a silent one, can work brilliantly without oddball murder plots, hit reality TV series etc. (I'm totally unconnected with this film and all concerned, by the way. I just want to own the dog and marry the cast, writer, director etc. But not Harvey! No way Harvey!).
Larry David playing a nun???? Edgy.
"… while trying to save their childhood orphanage."
So… they are on a mission from God.
I was always more a fan of the Marx Brothers as far as classic comedy teams go but then again, they were more about wordplay and I was probably born wanting to be a writer. That said, I look forward to seeing this film. Knowing a bit about the Farrelly brother's style of humor, it's not hard to see that it will at the very least be a project born out of love and admiration. I can't consider any project that starts with that foundation as being a complete failure. I hope this one does well.
Who will go see this? Women hate the Stooges so there goes half of your movie-going audience right there. So who's left? Boomers? They don't go to movies. Gen Xers? They're too busy with the kids. Teenagers? They've never even heard of the Stooges and probably can't relate to three weird jewish guys from the 1930s anyway. So who's left?

Imagination's Picture Bleak After Apple Cuts It Loose
April 4, 2017
Imagination on Monday announced that Apple would no longer use its intellectual property, and the company's stock sank faster than a bottomless boat on the news. Apple planned to discontinue its use of the company's IP in new products in 15 months to two years, ending the companies' license and royalty agreement, Imagination said. Those royalties account for about half the company's revenue.
Galaxy S8 vs. iPhone 8: Winning Has Little to Do With Phones
April 3, 2017
The new Samsung Galaxy S8 has launched, and its target of choice is the as yet unlaunched Apple iPhone 8 Anniversary Edition. These phones are critical for both companies. Apple survives largely off the iPhone today, and Samsung is trying to recover both from its burning phone problem and from its top executive being arrested on bribery charges. Neither firm can afford a big loss to the other.
Galaxy S8, S8+ Dazzle in Samsung's Comeback Launch
March 29, 2017

Too Much Communication
March 28, 2017
The world is a smaller place because we have so many ways to connect and communicate, but it has created a generation gap, a gap of classes and perhaps even a culture gap. This may seem like a serious contradiction; after all shouldn't more means of communication bring us closer together? The obvious answer is yes, but unfortunately this is not the case.
Competition and Regulation Threaten Sharing Economy Markets
March 27, 2017
Eighty-three percent of U.S. broadband households, or more than 250 million consumers, own and use a smartphone.

Verizon Wakes Up to Join Mobile TV Race
March 17, 2017
Following decades of slow movement due to cable companies facing no competition, the television world is changing rapidly. Lots of challengers have arisen in the pay-TV space in recent years.

March 14, 2017
WhatsApp reportedly has been conducting tests of a business chat system with a number of companies that are part of the Y Combinator startup incubator.

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum last year said the company would seek to monetize the free chat service by providing businesses with direct access to consumers.
Despite Intense Scrutiny, Uber Lays Another Egg
March 10, 2017
Already under the microscope for claims of sexual harassment and questionable labor practices, Uber this week said it would ban the use of a controversial technology to block regulatory authorities from monitoring its operations. The company's "greyballing" technology is designed to hide the standard city app view in specific cases -- for example, from former riders blocked for being abusive.
USB-C Port, Curved Display Top Latest iPhone Rumor List
March 1, 2017
Apple poked a hornet's nest when it removed the standard headphone jack from the iPhone 7. It may do it again by replacing the Lightning port with USB-C in the next iPhone. The Lightning port, introduced in 2012, is used to charge and connect accessories to the iPhone, but Apple reportedly plans to swap it for USB-C, which the company has been introducing into its computer lines.
How Deeply Could Bribery Scandal Wound Samsung?
February 28, 2017
South Korean prosecutors on Tuesday indicted Samsung head Lee Jae-yong and four other executives on bribery and embezzlement charges, following a lengthy investigation into Lee's ties with impeached president Park Geun-hye and her confidant, Choi Soon-sil.

Snap Sells Itself as Camera Company as IPO Nears
February 27, 2017
As it approaches its IPO, Snap, maker of the popular Snapchat messaging app, is positioning itself as a camera company. "We feel like we're really at the beginning of what cameras can do," said Snap CEO Evan Spiegel. "Before, cameras were the best way to perfectly save or record something that you saw. They sort of helped augment memory -- but now, you know, cameras augment the way that we talk."
FCC Head Champions FM Radio for Smartphones
February 27, 2017
Ajit Pai, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, last week issued a call for activation of the FM chips in smartphones. The vast majority of smartphones sold in the U.S. have FM chips, but they're activated in only about 44 percent of the top brands, Pai said. Although that's nearly twice the 25 percent figure of two years ago, it's not good enough, he suggested.
Mobile World Congress: Gigabit Wireless and the Anti-iPhone Set
February 27, 2017
One of the biggest disappointments at this year's Mobile World Congress is that the Samsung Galaxy 8 phone won't make it. The Galaxy line has been the ultimate iPhone fighter. Rumors around the anniversary edition of the iPhone suggest that it will do amazing, magical things, like 3D selfies. OK, I'm really missing Steve Jobs at the moment -- who the hell wants 3D selfies?!?
Rich Content Makes WhatsApp Look a Lot More Like Snapchat
February 22, 2017
Facebook has rolled out a WhatsApp update that could threaten Snapchat's share of the mobile app messaging market.

Facebook Gets More In-Your-Face
February 17, 2017
Facebook this week announced new features for News Feeds videos, along with an app for TV. News Feed videos now have sound turned on by default in mobile devices. This can be disabled in the Settings menu. A larger format to present vertical videos now is standard on iOS and Android devices. The feature became available as a preview last year. A Watch and Scroll feature lets users minimize the video they're watching and drag it to any corner of the screen.
Trump's Not the Only One With a Phone Security Problem
February 17, 2017
Is your Android phone secure? President Donald Trump's favorite smartphone reportedly is an older Android device. Security concerns flared recently, following indications that he sent some tweets from it. Of course, the president has been given a special secure device, but it's not clear whether he is using it. My question is, if the president is not secure using an ordinary phone for his primary wireless communications... are any of us?
Samsung's Chromebook Pro Earns Respect
February 14, 2017
Some early reviewers of the Samsung Chromebook Pro characterized it as a "MacBook killer," but others were more restrained in their enthusiasm. Jointly developed with Google and first demoed at CES 2017, the Chromebook Pro is slated for release next month. Samsung's Chromebooks basically are lightweight productivity tools that rely heavily on access to cloud-based resources.
Verizon Caves, Launches New Unlimited Data Plan
February 13, 2017
Facing growing pressure to respond to growing wireless data demands in the U.S. mobile phone market, Verizon finally relented.

Dozens of iOS Apps Vulnerable to WiFi Snooping
February 9, 2017
Dozens of applications for Apple's mobile devices are vulnerable to WiFi snoopers, according to Will Strafach, CEO of the Sudo Security Group. He identified 76 popular iOS apps available at Apple's App Store that were vulnerable to wireless eavesdroppers, even though the connections were supposed to be protected by encryption. There have been 18 million downloads of the vulnerable apps, he said.
Snap Seizes the Moment
February 6, 2017
Snap last week filed for a $3 billion IPO. The company's private market valuation is $17.8 billion, but investors reportedly have valued it at between $20 billion and $25 billion. "Twenty-five billion dollars is just nuts, but that's the market we're in," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This could provide an opportunity for the big gambler investors," he suggested.
Was Apple's Outstanding Q1 a Fluke?
February 6, 2017
Apple had a good quarter, but if you look under the numbers there is a ton of trouble. It just dropped behind Google in brand value, and valuation may crater in a few months. The iPhone 7 did well, but that shouldn't be a surprise, given that its biggest competitor, Samsung, saw its phone literally go up in flames last quarter. The Galaxy 8 is coming, though, and it looks really impressive.
Wireless, Telecom and Pay TV: The Future Is Coming Into Focus
February 2, 2017
Wireless, telecom and pay TV -- including cable, satellite and Internet services -- are all on a growth trajectory, but each company is taking a different path. That means comparing them will be more difficult going forward. In the past, the companies in these sectors in many respects looked the same and offered nearly the same basic services. Looking forward however, things appear very different.
Apple Goes on Record-Breaking Spree
February 1, 2017
Apple stunned Wall Street with Q1 earnings that set new quarterly unit and revenue records in key product segments, and its highest-ever earnings per share.

my wife was using this phone and it got corupted somehow and was acting up so she took it to the provider she had gotten it from. of course, they made it worse and in the end it was simply scrolling the "loading wheel" non stop and going no further.
at that point she was recommended to a couple middle eastern guys who were said to be able to fix anything. they said, 'sure we can fix it, come back tomorrow" well tomorrow they said "no, we can't fix it but we know some guys in Iraq who can. we can send it to them for you,it will be back in ten days "
at that point my wife said, no thanks, and it's been sitting ever since.
so.......we got any super savvy phone hackers on board ?

New Delhi, July 27: Babus, get ready to bare all.
If a high-powered committee has its way, bureaucrats will have to take the lead from politicians and make their assets public.
Sources said the panel, set up to recommend measures for reforming the civil service, will push for a change in rules to end a convention that keeps officials disclosure of assets confidential.
Existing all-India service rules require bureaucrats to declare their assets every year to the government, but the over-secretive bureaucracy has always insisted that the declaration be treated as confidential.
However, with a judicial directive forcing politicians contesting elections to declare their assets, the bureaucracy will find it difficult to resist the commissions suggestion to take the veil off their wealth files.
Why not' said a young IAS officer, who is not averse to the idea. If MPs do not have any problem, there is no reason why other public servants cannot do likewise.
If approved, the transparency rule would be applicable to members of the All India Services and Group A central service in the first instance.
The asset recommendation has assumed significance against the backdrop of a string of golden skeletons tumbling out of the closets of several high officials.
A raid in April this year threw up as much as Rs 1.7 crore in cash from the bank locker of an officer with the anti-adulteration cell in the petroleum ministry. The government has since decided to close down the cell.
The last time the CBI went on one of its occasional anti-corruption drives in June this year, disproportionate assets worth over Rs 7 crore were uncovered.
Headed by former Union Public Service Commission chairman P.C. Hota, the 11-member committee, appointed less than six months ago by the cabinet secretariat, is also learnt to be in favour of amending Article 311 that deals with penalising errant bureaucrats.
The panel appears to be in favour of simplifying the procedure for penalising and dismissing such officials to cut down on the time usually taken. One possibility, the sources suggested, could be to have a committee of senior government officials to summarily evaluate the charges against an accused.
The Hota committee report, expected to be formally submitted to cabinet secretary B.K. Chaturvedi by the end of this month, is also thinking in terms of peer-group monitoring to inspire civil servants to stay clean.
The committee is learnt to be tinkering with the controversial experiment of the Uttar Pradesh IAS officers association several years ago.
The association had asked its members to identify and rank corrupt bureaucrats in the state. The names were never made public formally but they did not remain a secret either.
It will be a very comprehensive report, a member of the panel said, confident that unlike the other committee reports gathering dust, this one would get somewhere.
There is acknowledgement in the government at all levels of the imperative of overhauling the existing civil service system, he added.

Ok, so it's largely accepted by now that the game's revival is dependent on the PS3 release. The question is, when is it coming?
We know we are getting 2 updates a month, and considering the pace development is going, are we closer to it or farther away? Can SE afford to wait too long with all the competition, or is the ompetition not a factor? Is the release coming with an expansion, or not coming at all?

Scout Alarm came into existence in February 2013, when one of the Scout founders set out to buy a home security system for his new home, only to find the process too complex. More importantly, he realized that many home security systems are a bit dated: in other words, they don't keep up with modern needs. One quick Kickstarter campaign later, and Scout was born. We've taken the time to examine Scout's offerings comprehensively to tell you why it's an option worth considering.
How Scout works
Most home security systems have standard equipment packages, even if you can customize them. In contrast, Scout doesn't have any equipment packages on its website, though it's always worth checking if you can find equipment sets on their Amazon page. You won't be able to choose the finish of your kit, but you will get extra savings.
If you purchase individual equipment directly through Scout's page, you're greeted with an aesthetically pleasing page and a large button that says "Build your ideal system." Scout allows buyers to select not only the components they want, but the color and finish of those components. It's the security system interior designers have always dreamed of.
The standard equipment for a security system includes these items:
- Scout Hub ($129)
- Door panels ($69)
- Access sensors ($29)
- Motion sensors ($49)
Sounds like pretty standard fare, right? While the sensors may be similar to those other companies offer, the system itself is not. Every Scout security system requires one hub, whether you're securing a small studio or a mansion. Most homes will also need at least one door panel sensor, two access sensors, one motion sensor. This brings the total cost for the equipment to $305. This price seems slightly high compared to major players in the industry (Frontpoint's equipment averages around the $300, mark while Link Interactive's lowest package is $99), but the low cost of monitoring can result in long-term savings.
The various sensors are all connected through the hub. When a sensor is triggered, it sends an alert to the hub, which will then carry out a set of pre-programmed actions and alert you via your smartphone or computer. The hub contains a 106 dB siren, about the same volume as a car horn.
Installation and setup
Scout may be one of the easiest home security systems to install that we've ever seen. Every system will have, at minimum, one hub and one sensor. Installation doesn't require tools of any sort, and there's no need to drill holes into your walls. This makes the Scout a great system for rental properties where you want to cause as little damage as possible. The different components are peel-and-stick; only the door sensor may cause difficulty due to its two-part placement where the door meets the frame. The hub has a 100-foot range, so you should place it somewhere near the center of the home.
Scout comes with a 54-page installation guide with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow graphics. You will need to register the device before installation, however; this can be done via your smartphone or the computer. If you encounter difficulty, Scout's knowledge base includes detailed tutorial videos that demonstrate how to install the various components.
Mobile app
Scout's mobile app is available on Apple's App Store and via Google Play. The app is your mobile control center for your system; it allows you to set specific commands via IFTTT (if this, then that) integration, arm and disarm the system, and receive alerts when an alarm is triggered. The system will notify you about exactly which alarm was triggered, allowing you to decide whether it is a false alarm or if the police should be contacted.
The app is rated 3.8 of 5 in the Google Play store, but it hasn't been reviewed enough to garner a rating in the App Store. Despite the high score, a number of recent reviews mention functionality issues after the recent update. The problem occurs when the app arms the system; if an update occurs after arming, the app is no longer automatically synced. The app must be resynced before it will work with the system again—understandably a problem if the alarm is triggered in the wee hours of the morning and you have no way of shutting it off. Scout is constantly working to add more functionality to its system, however; it's likely customers will see an update to fix this problem soon.
On the bright side, the app displays all of the information pertinent to your system in one place and grants total control over the system. Users can grant temporary access to their home with the touch of a button, and the integration with home automation systems like ZigBee open Scout to a world of possibilities.
Pricing and packages
Scout offers two monitoring packages: Always On and Always On+. Of the two, we highly recommend Always On+. Though it is more expensive ($9.99 compared to $19.99, but far more affordable than even the cheapest Frontpoint monitoring option at $34.99), it is the only one of the two that includes professional, off-site monitoring. All other features offered with the two plans are the same. Professional monitoring is the primary benefit of owning a security system: with it, you don't rely solely on the sirens and alarms to scare off intruders. The monitoring station automatically contacts authorities if it detects a break-in.
Note: If you purchase monitoring for an entire year up front, you can save 10% off the total cost.

What makes Scout unique
While Scout lacks the power to compete with much larger systems (no glass break sensors, no security cameras, no Crash & Smash protection), its integration with various systems makes it easy to expand and opens the door for a huge number of possibilities with home automation. In addition, the color scheme (Arctic White, Midnight Black, and Walnut) makes it one of the best-looking home security systems on the market. The mix-and-match aspect of the components also makes it a great choice for smaller homes and apartments.
Scout is more affordable than the companies we most often recommend (Frontpoint, Link Interactive, etc.) with a $19.99 per month monitoring cost, but the lack of more advanced security sensors poses certain threats. For example, Scout doesn't offer glass break sensors; while it isn't likely an intruder could move through your home without setting off the motion detectors, a thief could break a window and grab any valuables within arm's reach without triggering the alarm.
Scout's monitoring centers are UL-certified and capable of dispatching police, but the battery life of the sensors poses a threat. Though the hub may have a wired connection to an outlet, the sensors rely on batteries. If one dies without your knowledge, that area of your home is unguarded.
Scout and Home Automation
Scout is a smart system. It includes Zigbee, which is a radio frequency frequently used in home automation. But instead of building their own line of sensors and smart gadgets, Scout has made some pretty big friends.
For one, Scout has its own IFTTT channel. Through IFTTT you can connect to all sorts of other applications and smart devices. You can setup phone call alerts, email alerts, geofencing, and connect to other popular smart home devices. (Here is a list of some of the smart devices that work with IFTTT.) In theory, you can have IFTTT flash red lights if someone tries to break into your house or you can ask IFTTT to turn on lights if motion is detected. There are literally hundreds of options, but this wasn't enough for Scout. They've also joined the Works with Nest program.
With access to your Nest products on Scout's platform, you get a streamlined way to customize your suite of smart devices and protect your home in the way you see fit. By controlling your Nest Protect and Nest Thermostat from your Scout account, your connected devices will live in one place, communicate their learnings to each other, and increase the intelligence of the overall system. The end result is that Nest and Scout make your life simpler. Combined, we have a better understanding of your habits and your home to offer you a more efficient experience.
Scout has also partnered with Amazon Echo, giving users voice control of their alarm system. Impressively, Scout was the first home security company to partner with Echo. The technology is a game-changer. Instead of using your smartphone to arm or disarm your alarm, you can ask Alexa (Echo's persona) to do it. If there's an emergency, this partnership can be a life-saver; you don't need to run to your phone to sound the alarm.
In addition to light, lock, and energy automation, Scout offers video surveillance. Their HD camera is pre-selling for $169.00. It offers night vision, two-way audio, cloud storage, and privacy control. Unfortunately, the camera has been "pre-selling" for a ridiculously long time. In fact, it may be better to connect a non-Scout branded camera through IFTTT if you are looking to add a connected camera.
The final friendship is with SmartThings. You can monitor your SmartThings devices using Scout's professional alarm monitoring.
Most of these features are controlled through Scout's mobile app which is highly rated on both Google Play and iTunes, though not all. SmartThings integration can be controlled using the SmartThings app, Echo and IFTTT both offer their own apps as well.
What others are saying about Scout
Scout differs from traditional home security systems, and as a result there are a number of mixed feelings about the company. While some customers love the ease of installation, others find the built-in siren too weak. Some customers enjoy the low prices and affordability, while others have less-than-pleasant things to say about customer service.
Positive reviews
This seems like an amazing product. I like it thus far. The built-in siren is weak, but external sirens can be hooked up by the clever among us using the IFTTT interface, which I love. The monitoring program is reasonably affordable if you chose to use it, and setup is insanely easy. The app integrates seamlessly and is well designed. The product also looks great. Grab a few extra sensors for things like your garage. If you're the "maker" type, the possibilities for integrating this with your own "internet of things" with arduino, ethernet and IFTTT are literally endless. Andy B. — December 27, 2015 (Amazon)
I did a ton of research before I bought this system and so far I'm thrilled with my decision. I've had normal (ADT) systems in the past but hardly ever used them because it was such a hassle to arm and disarm them. (And forget about trying to program custom modes!) In our new home I wanted something that didn't stick out like a sore thumb and didn't cost me $40 a month. Bingo! I looked at a bunch of other systems (e.g. Iris from Lowes, Canary, etc.) but nothing else had the combination of good looks, low monthly coast, and a wireless 3G connection that works even when your internet or power goes down. The app is really well designed. And it was a breeze to setup. No wires! Just went around sticking the sensors to my doors and windows and I was up and running in about 45 minutes. Highly recommended! Dave S. — December 11, 2014 (Amazon)
Negative reviews
Great concept, unfortunately, I had issues installing the system. A couple of the items were not pairing with the hub, and I CALLED MORE THAN 5 TIMES to the company, and no one answer. I also left several voice mails, and they never returned my called. They really need to work on that. HOW CAN YOU TRUST AN ALARM COMPANY IF THEY DO NOT EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE, OR RETURN YOUR CALLS. G. Ramirez — March 5, 2016 (Amazon)
So far not impressed, especially with sensors and battery life. The house lost power for a day, and then came back and the hub reconnected fine, but sensors never reconnected! So either the batteries died or they fail to reconnect on their own. No warning of low battery. Jeff – March 26, 2016 (Amazon)
Choosing Scout
Scout has done well so far. With more than $500,000 in units sold already, the company has seen great initial success by catering to a market that's often overlooked: rental properties and smaller homes. However, Scout's lack of advanced functionality will be detrimental unless the company addresses it quickly.
Multiple home security companies have begun to blend home automation into their systems, and for good reason. More and more consumers today demand the ability to customize their home as they please. While ZigBee, Amazon Echo, and IFTTT integration are a step in the right direction for Scout, improving its hardware and offering a larger variety of sensors seem like the obvious steps toward increasing its market share.
That said, Scout is a solid choice for someone in a non-permanent home. The aesthetics fit well with most any theme, and the ease of installation make it perfect for dormitories or rental apartments.
