Discount IPhone $28 Cheaper in Australia Than Original
Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s new iPhone 5c, aimed at a broader range of customers with a lower price, will cost almost as much in Australia as the iPhone 5 amid a 10 percent fall in the local currency that's lifting the cost of imports.
The brightly-colored 5c model will sell for A$869 ($808) with 32 gigabytes of memory when it makes its global debut in Australian stores Sept. 20, according to an e-mailed statement from the Cupertino, California-based company today. The iPhone 5 cost A$899 with the same memory capacity in Australia when it went on sale for the first time last September.
The so-called Aussie has fallen about 10 percent in 2013 as a waning resources boom cuts investment in mines and petroleum projects, while the Reserve Bank of Australia's attempts to stoke a slowing economy by reducing interest rates to a record-low 2.5 percent have weakened appetite for Australian dollar debt. In the U.S., the 32-gigabyte iPhone 5c will cost $649 off contract, about $100 less than the $749 price of the iPhone 5.
The weaker dollar is "bad for the Australian consumer," said Alex Joiner, an economist at Bank of America Corp.'s Merrill Lynch unit in Melbourne. "Retail prices can only go one way. Shopping online gets more expensive, going overseas gets more expensive."
Alex Waldron, a Sydney-based Apple spokesman, declined to comment on pricing.
Squeeze Profits
Australian retailers face a 5 percent increase in the cost of imported goods after the Australian dollar fell below 90 U.S. cents on July 31 for the first time since 2010, according to Merrill Lynch. That may squeeze profits amid weak consumer spending, according to the bank.
The price of electronic goods fell particularly sharply when the Aussie was above parity with the U.S. dollar, Joiner said, helping constrain inflation as prices of flat-screen televisions dropped by more than 20 percent. "That's not going to happen if the currency stays where it is," he said.
Apple's Australian managing director Tony King was summoned to testify before a parliamentary panel in March as part of an inquiry into the cost of software and hardware products in the country.
He blamed licensing and performance rights issues for higher prices in Apple's Australian iTunes store, where Rihanna's "Unapologetic" album was retailing for about 50 percent more than in the U.S. version of the store at the time of the inquiry.

RIM Investors Should Vote to Split Top Roles, ISS Says
Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM)'s investors should back a proposal to split the roles of chief executive officer and chairman, said Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., the second major proxy adviser to recommend the move.
"The board's mandate is to represent the interests of shareholders through overseeing management and instilling accountability," the Rockville, Maryland-based firm said today in an e-mailed statement. "Conflicts of interest may arise when one person holds both the Chair and CEO positions."
Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis are both co-CEOs and co- chairmen at Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM.
ISS, which provides advice on corporate governance issues to more than 1,700 clients, weighed in amid increasing calls for RIM to shake up its leadership structure to lead a turnaround. The company is losing share in the smartphone market to Apple Inc. (AAPL) and handset makers that use Google Inc.'s Android operating system. RIM said on June 16 quarterly revenue may decline for the first time in nine years, sending its stock down 21 percent the next day.
Glass Lewis & Co., which advises investors that manage more than $15 trillion, said last week that RIM shareholders should support the split proposal from Northwest & Ethical Investments LP. Shareholders will vote on the measure at RIM's annual meeting on July 12. Billionaire RIM investor Stephen Jarislowsky also called for a split earlier this month.
'Financial Underperformance'
RIM fell 40 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $28.17 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The stock has dropped 52 percent this year.
The BlackBerry maker's "financial underperformance strengthens the idea that the separation" is in the best interests of RIM's shareholders, ISS said.
Marisa Conway, a spokeswoman for RIM, declined to comment beyond the company's earlier filing on the issue. RIM said shareholders shouldn't support separation because management already has sufficient oversight from independent directors, including its lead director who has a role similar to chairmen at other companies.
ISS said that John Richardson, a director since 2003, has been lead director since March, 2007, when Balsillie stepped down as chairman following an Ontario Securities Commission investigation into stock-option backdating. Balsillie returned as co-chairman in December.
'Satisfactory Balance'
The lead director structure does not provide a "satisfactory balance" to the unified co-CEO and chairmen positions, and RIM's board "does not possess the counterbalancing governance mechanisms to ensure independent oversight of management and accountability to shareholders," ISS said.
Ultimately, the company appears to have no grounds to argue against the resolution, ISS said.
"There seems to be no compelling rationale for the company to resist handing over all the duties of Chair along with that title to an independent director."
Egan-Jones Ratings Co., which provides proxy services and ratings, today disagreed with ISS and Glass Lewis, issuing a recommendation to reject the shareholder proposal. RIM has done enough to address the concerns raised and there are no U.S. or Canadian rules that require a company to have a separate CEO and chairman, the Haverford, Pennsylvania-based firm said in its statement.
"We do not believe that implementing the proposal would justify the administrative costs and efforts, nor would it provide a corresponding meaningful benefit to the company's shareholders," Egan-Jones said.

The trouble is that the the server and client must agree on what the character set is ("code set" to be more precise) so that there is no confusion about what the bytes really are. BINARY mode is just bits with no particular interpretation attached. Where you get into trouble is in places where the code sets don't match, like on the Mac and PC - there are differing high-bit-on characters in quite a few code positions. Is that a bullet? An Apple logo? Or something else? Please believe me when I say that I know whereof I speak; I spent a few years in the IETF MIME wars over this very issue. If we ever want even a *prayer* of internationalizing NetBSD, it must be done in a character-set-explicit manner. To "just send 8 bits" with no explicit negotiation of character set leads to chaos and madness, because it is a lead-pipe-cinch that not everyone will agree on the interpretation of the bits without a label identifying *positively* what they represent. This is such an Evil area, particularly where legacy systems like UNIX are concerned - lots of software to fix. It would be so much easier if everyone would simply capitulate to American Cultural Imperialism and use English exclusively, but I think everyone here agrees that particular scenario is not likely to come about in our lifetimes. Fortunately for us, a lot of this work has already been done, APIs specified, and so on. We just need to implement and integrate. We also need to watch out for situations like this one with TELNET, where we're sending unlabelled data (TELNET BINARY MODE) with a *presumption* of how it will be interpreted on the other end (ISO-8859-1, I bet). The funny thing is that the oldest PR in the GNATS database is an i18n issue. It's been with us since the very beginning. We just need to be a touch more sensitive to it. please forgive the rant, Erik <firstname.lastname@example.com>

Not everything is known about the gameday reality at the 49ers' new stadium in Santa Clara when it opens for business next season.And that includes the exact price of parking. But a safe guess is that it's going to be expensive, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The Roadshow column cites information fed by an unnamed "South Bay city official" who pegs prices for parking passes at the new 49ers stadium "in the $40 to $50 range."It's currently between $30 to $35 to park at 49ers and Raiders games.Will the experience be worth it?Photo Credit: San Francisco 49ers

Hey guys, I've been absent from Serebii for a couple of months now, due to my computer being broken. And now I've came back, I decided to make my first post in the 5th gen RMT forum. This is my first-ever 5th gen Uber team, and it helped me get pretty high up on the ladder. So please feel free to rate my team. I appreciate all your helps.
Team At A GlanceThe idea of this team came when I was looking at Kyogre's POTW ananlyzes, and I thought "Oh, this is an awesome pokemon, I should build a team around it." And I started building this team, well, a rain-based team, around Kyogre.
In-Depth LookEVs and Nature:
Kyogre @ Lum Berry
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 SAtk/ 4 Def
IVs : 30 Spe IV
Modest Nature (+SAtk; -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
This spread will maximize Kyogre's bulk and Special Attack to serve its purpose. 30 Speed IV and no investments in Speed allow opposing Groudon to outspeed Kyogre, therefore lose the weather fight. Of course this stradegy will fail if Groudon intentionally runs a -Spe nature and 0 Speed IVs. In this case, Kyogre will have to switch out, wait until its teammates took care of Groudon then come back in.
Well, as I said, I based my team around Kyogre, and leading is a perfect position for it, since Kyogre has the ability to set up permenant rain and cause status for the foe in the form of Thunder Wave. Kyogre matches up well against most of the common leads in Ubers, such as Darkrai or Deoxys-S. With Lum Berry, Kyogre can avoid Dark Void from Darkrai or Thunder Wave from Groudon and KO them with Surf. TrickScarfers will also be neutralized, as Kyogre can easily use the Choice Scarf to kill the opponent. Attacking Leads such as Scarf Mewtwo or Rayquaza will also be stopped by Kyogre. Because of its 100/90/140 bulk and max HP, Kyogre can ALWAYS survive a hit coming from opposing pokemon, (even Choice Specs Kyogre cannot KO with Thunder) and hit them back hard with its Maxed Base 150 Special Attack.
Kyogre can also work later in the game as a mid-game sweeper. With Thunder Wave, Kyogre surpasses its speed problem and hit like a truck with crazy SpAtk. It can also act as a lure, luring in some of its common switch-ins, such as Latias or Palkia, only found themselves being paralyzed by Thunder Wave and got killed by other teammates easily (Scizor can take care of Latias, while Palkia can deal with opposing Palkia).
But of course, there are still some pokemon which are able to stop Kyogre. Nattorei can be quite a threat, since non of Kyogre's attack are capable of 2HKOing Nattorei, while it can set up Leech Seed, Spikes or attack with Power Whip. Soul Dew Latias is also a problem, since even Ice Beam won't be able to KO. Zekrom is a great check to Kyogre, since its Lightning Strike is capable of OHKOing Kyogre. And finally, as mentioned above, Lead Groudon with Minimized Speed can be quite troublesome, since Ice Beam or Surf under the sun won't be able to OHKO it.
Special SweeperEVs and Nature:
Manaphy @ Life Orb
Trait: Hydration
EVs : 80 HP/252 SAtk/176 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe; -Atk)
- Tail Glow
- Rest
- Surf
- Ice Beam
The EV spread is pretty straight-foward. Max Special Attack to give it the best sweeping potential, 176 Speed and a + Nature allows it to outspeed all non-scarfed base 90s, like Groudon, Ho-oh, Kyogre and Giratina. 80 HP to give it some bulk, allowing Manaphy to set up properly.
In Gen 5, Tail Glow has became a +3 Special Attack boosting move, which is a really awesome change for Manaphy. Now it can easily get to +6, while can get back to full health right away with Rest and Hydration. For the attacking slots, Surf is a powerful and reliable STAB move, and even boosted by rain. Ice Beam provides good coverage along with Surf, and its capable of OHKOing many Dragons, which are common in Ubers, as well as Groudon. Actually though, I'm considering about using Grass Knot in the 4th slot, as it OHKOs Groudon, Tyranitar and Kyogre. But either way, after 1 Tail Glow boost, Manaphy becomes a destructive beast that wreaks havocs through opponents' teams.
However, Manaphy's biggest downfall is its mediocre Speed. Faster foes, such as Palkia, can switch in on the turn Manaphy uses Rest or Tail Glow, and then kill it with X2 moves like Thunder. Therefore, there are many pokemon who threaten Manaphy in Ubers, including Zekrom, Palkia and Scarfed Kyogre. Furthermore, there are some pokemon who resist Manaphy's attacks and effectively counter it. Dialga and Nattorei are two most threatening counters, as non of Manaphy's attacks can hit them super effectively. And ultimately, weather changers like Rayquaza or Groudon can switch-in on Rest, which equals to giving them 2 free turns to setup.
Wish PasserEVs and Nature:
Latias @ Soul Dew
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 112 HP/ 204 SpA / 192 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe; -Atk)
- Wish
- Toxic
- Dragon Pulse
- Protect
The HP EVs are important since this is a Support set, and therefore Latias needs to survive as long as possible. 112 HP, along with the SDef boost from Soul Dew, allows Latias to survive even a Specs Kyogre's Ice Beam. The Speed EVs and a + nature will help Latias outspeed many pokemon in Ubers. SAtk EVs combined with Soul Dew boost and a STAB Dragon Pulse coming from 110 Base SAtk will do heavy damage to many pokemon.
My whole team is fulled of pokemon without self-recovery (barring Manaphy with Rest), therefore I decided to add a Wishpasser to the team. Latias is a great option, because of its stats and access to Soul Dew (well, banned in gen 5 but still viable in Dream World Uber). Wish + Protect forms a reliable recovery combination. Protect also helps Latias Toxic stalling the foe. Dragon Pulse is a reliable STAB move.
Scizor can give Latias a trouble, because it threatens Latias with Pursuit or STAB U-turn, and Latias can't do nothing to Scizor, neither Toxic nor Dragon Pulse. So if Latias meets a Scizor, it's R.I.P. Other Pursuiters like ScarfTar or Metagross are also really annoying. Scarfed Dragons, such as Scarf Zekrom is also threatening, as they can hit like a truck with STAB Outrages, but of course, I can use that chance to switch my Scizor in and kill.
Dialga @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/ 140 SAtk/ 116 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk; -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder
EVs and Nature:
252 HP/ 116 SDef prevents Dialga from being 2HKOed by full health Kyogre's Water Spout, therefore being able to set up Stealth Rock, paralyze Kyogre then get the hell out of there. 140 SAtk and Modest allow Dialga to OHKO many pokemon, while can't be killed due to solid defenses.
Dialga has a great defensive typing, access to Stealth Rock, solid defensive stats, therefore make it a great Supporter for the team. Steel type is always a wonderful typing, it's my favorite type, since adding a Steel-type in the team will, like, covers EVERY weaknesses there are. Dialga's only two weaknesses are Ground and Fighting, which both covered well by Latias. About the moveset, Stealth Rock is obvious. since it's the main purpose of this set. Stealth Rock allows some attacks to ensure an OHKO on the foe, and its always an awesome move. Toxic is another cool move, it wears down opponents effectively. Thunder, with a high 30% chance of paralyzing the foe, can also be used to provide paralyze support, which is great because my team is full of slow sweepers. Draco Meteor is a strong STAB move, combined with 408 SAtk, can deal great damage to many pokemon.
Faster Taunt users like Deoxys-S can stop Dialga from setting up Stealth Rock or Toxic, but Dialga can predict the Taunt, and just fire a Draco Meteor to kill them. Groudon can kill Dialga easily with its STAB Earthquake, but I can predict and switch Latias in safely. Scarf Garchomp can check Dialga with Earthquake, but then again, I can just switch Latias in. Weather condition also affects Dialga greatly, as if the rain is stopped and sun abuses, Dialga's Thunder will become useless. Furthermore, pokemon like Ho-oh and Groudon can kill Dialga under the sun. Nattorei is quite annoying, as it resists both of Dialga's attacks and Toxic, and can set up Leech Seed or Spikes. Because of that, I think I can drop Thunder and replace with Aura Sphere to hit Nattorei, but that means I will lose the paralyze support. Can you guys help me with this?
Mixed Attacker
Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 Atk/ 252 SAtk/ 252 Spe
Hasty Nature (+Spe; -Def)
- Surf
- Aqua Tail
- Spacial Rend
- Fire Blast
EVs and Nature:
The spread is pretty self-explainatory. Max out everything to hit as hard and as fast as you can. Hasty is to ensure a 2HKO to Chansey from rain-boosted Aqua Tail.
Palkia is a dangerous rain sweeper. Under the rain, its STAB Water moves, Surf and Aqua Tail, are boosted, and even furthermore boosted by Lustrous Orb. Combine this with a passable 277 Atk and a great 399 SAtk, Palkia becomes a monster. Surf and Spacial Rend provides awesome dual STAB coverage, and both are boosted by Lustrous Orb. Aqua Tail prevents Palkia from being completely walled by those Special Walls, such as Chansey. Fire Blast may seems weired in a rain team, but it helps crushing those nasty Nattoreis (damn, Nattorei is a ****ing big problem to this team) and some other Steel types, even when power-dropped by the rain.
Palkia's only weakness is Dragons, and therefore faster Dragon-types will easily check it. Latias, Kingdra under the rain, Scarf Garchomp, Scarfed Zekrom, Reshiram are some examples. But of course, I can switch Scizor in on these pokemon and make their lives miserable. And other than that, pretty much nothing can stop this Palkia.
Physical Attacker
Scizor @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk; -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Pursuit
- Superpower
EVs and Nature:
I maxed out Special Defense because of the popularity of all those special attackers in Ubers. Maxed SDef and Rain condition will allow Scizor to survive some Special Fire attacks, like Fire Blast. Max Attack and Adamant are pretty obvious.
As mentioned above, I love Steel types. And Scizor is the best offensive Steel type out there. Bullet Punch is the move that made Scizor so popular like today, and for good reason. Combined with Technician, STAB boost, Choice Band, priorty stage and a monstrous 394 Atk stat, a beast was created. Scizor has the ability to stop some most threatening pokemon in Ubers, like Latios and Latias, Woobuffet or Mewtwo with STAB U-turn and Pursuit. Its awesome defensive typing also allows it to take hits from some common types in Ubers, mainly Dragon. Superpower kills Nattorei, which is a great threat to my team.
The first thing to mention is Groudon can destroy Scizor by switching in, set up sun then Fire Punch or Overheat. Therefore, it is really important to keep Kyogre alive to stop sun abusing. Some physical walls, most notably Physically Defensive Lugia and Giratina, completely stop Scizor. Reshiram can check Scizor with Blue Flame, but since Scizor's invested heavily in SDef, its not a sure-KO. Ho-oh can check Scizor, since I don't invest in Physical Defense, Ho-oh can kill with Sacred Fire. Another thing to mention, although not really common in Uber, is that Shadow Tag Shandera can come in on Superpower, and turn Scizor into a complete setup fodder.
Threat List
The first and foremost thing to say, as I've mentioned many times in the thread, is that Nattorei's a REALLY dangerous to my team. The only member capable of OHKOing Nattorei is Scizor with Superpower, and other members' attacks are all resisted by it. So can you guys help me figure out a way to stop Nattorei?
And other than that, I can't see any other clear threat. If you can see any other things that threaten my team, please let me know.
So that's my team. I appreciate any helps from you guys to help my team become better. Thanks a lot!

A classic folk /science toy gets easy to make
I don't care if my ancestors were playing with this folk toy a century ago. It is as magical today. And it will be just as fascinating to future generations even if we harness nuclear fusion for power and interplanetary travel becomes routine. That's what "classic" means: timeless, immortal.
The Propeller Stick
If you haven't crossed paths with a magic propeller stick (also known as a whimmy-doodle in Appalachia), you're in for a treat. You hold the stick in one hand and rub bumps on it with another. Mysteriously, the propeller spins fast... really fast. Some people can make it reverse direction at will.
There is some cool science going on here. In the "more about" page I will make the case that this propeller is closely related to such seemingly disparate subjects as hula-hoops and modern industrial fasteners. This project lends itself to endless experimentation. Change the propeller shape? Sure! Make multiple propeller heads like a mythological Hydra? Go ahead and try it. I have a lot of fun when I make this project with groups of kids, seeing the creative variations they come up with.
Traditionally, people have whittled notches into a wooden stick with a pocket knife to create the bumps-- not a very safe elementary project. I offer this easy-to-make version that uses a coat hanger or other wire with a couple of wavy bends instead of the whittled notches.

Greg Ginn leads two thrilling bands at Valentine's
By Michael Eck
Special to The Times Union
ALBANY – Greg Ginn.
His place in rock and roll history is safe. As founder and sonic engine of the pioneering Los Angeles hardcore band Black Flag, Ginn drew up the blueprints for raging punk rock guitar.
He's spent the nearly 25 years since the band broke up re-writing and even tearing up those plans.
Tuesday night he returned to the Capital Region for his first time in eons with not one, but two bands in tow.
Oddly enough, the lineup for both groups was the same, with mandolinist Bobby Bancalari and drummer Steve DeLollis joining Ginn onstage for two all-instrumental sets. But the attack and attitude of each group was considerably different.
The Taylor Texas Corrugators, named after Ginn's adopted hometown, grew out of basement jams and their set at Valentine's, on New Scotland Avenue, reflected that fact.
None of the tunes were titled, and each grew out of an organic groove dreamed up and developed on the spot.
On the band's debut album, "Goof Off Experts," Ginn plays guitar, bass, piano and organ along with drummer Joe Berardi.
Live he plays bass, and judging from Tuesday's performance the band has quickly become Bancalari's showcase.
Bancalari approaches the mandolin in an unorthodox style, slung low and at an odd angle. He also comes at with an absolutely unique mix of classical precision, jazz adventure and punk rock spirit.
His excursions at Valentine's were thrilling.
Ginn has clearly been influenced by the jam band phenomena, but Bancalari's contributions take the group to a different level – a plane infinitely more satisfying than Jamie Masefield's exploits with the Jazz Mandolin Project.
And Bancalari's sole brief solo excursion was tasty, too.
Round two featured Jambang, with Ginn switching from bass to electric guitar.
Folks expecting Flag were disappointed, even if they were thinking of the band's latter-day instrumental exploits.
Whereas the Corrugators sounded nothing like band's album, Jambang sounded just like "Connecting."
The reason? Ginn augments the live playing with pre-recorded bass and synthesizer programming, as well as video projections rendered by artist Joey Keeton.
If the Corrugators show off a jamband influence, Jambang ironically shows off an electronica influence.
At their best – say on the hypnotic "Out of the Park" and the muscular "All Cylinders" – Jambang echoed the Krautrock legends Can.
DeLollis, in particular, summoned up the hypnotic hi-hat work of drummer Jaki Leibezeit, while Bancalari's lines – leaner than in the Corrugators – recalled the work of guitarist Michael Karoli.
Ginn divided his work between broken power chords and terse melodic motifs that snakily intertwined with those of Bancalari's mandolin. He never once bowed down to guitar heroics or histrionics – or to his own past.
If anything, one would have imagined Jeff Beck or Ornette Coleman soloing over the sounds of Jambang before they would have thought of Henry Rollins screaming.

ATLANTA — Two issues keep popping up in conversations under the Gold Dome in the week-old legislative session: guns and marijuana.
Many of the issues lawmakers grapple with are either very complex or painfully dull – or both – and don't spark much passion, especially among the general public. There are never any rallies or street marches about post-adoption contracts, the definition of "game fish," and sewer fees charged to customers outside a provider's geographical boundaries.
Dear editor:
State school Superintendent John Barge is on a political suicide mission.
He decided last year not to try for another term as the elected head of Georgia's Department of Education, choosing instead to run for governor in the Republican primary against incumbent Gov. Nathan Deal and Dalton Mayor David Pennington.
"I went down to the potter's house and saw him working at the wheel. But the clay pot he made was marred in his hands; so he remade it into another vessel that seemed good to him."
– Jeremiah 18:3-4
As I approached the grocery store, his appraisal was obvious. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him grin. At me. The vestiges of a once healthy smile poked from his grey-ish gums in random, sparse arrangements. Ragged coveralls hung on his wiry, tobacco-stained frame. Greasy hair sprang from beneath his backwards ball-cap.
After 21 years of marriage, a girl starts to think, This isn't so bad. Still, I pretended not to see him. I was in no condition to receive these amorous favors.
Dear Editor:
In Steve Crawford's article, "GOP beliefs seem to be evolving," January 15, 2014, he makes an assumption, which is not correct. He states, "I know many reject the idea that humans and other creatures have evolved and changed over time, based on their religious beliefs."
ATLANTA — The 2014 session of the General Assembly, which kicked off Monday, will be less about immediate results and more about future politics, according to some political observers.
Timing is the reason.
A governor in the fourth year of his first term, like Gov. Nathan Deal is now, may want to save his political capital for re-election efforts rather than legislation. If his lease on the office is renewed – and only one Georgia governor has lost re-election – he will have a mandate of sorts for more ambitious proposals next year.
When House Speaker David Ralston sat down with reporters last week to discuss the new legislative session, he addressed the question that's been on the mind of every capitol denizen.
"People want to know, is it true we're going to be in and out in a hurry?" Ralston said. "From a House perspective, that is certainly true."
It's true from a Senate perspective as well. The General Assembly session that kicked off Monday should adjourn sometime around the middle of March, making it one of the quickest sessions in decades.

Protecting Your Farm's Future: Learn about Conservation Options for Farmland
March 3, John F Hill Grange in Eliot, 4:30 - 6:00pm
March 31, Noble High School in North Berwick, 4:30 - 6:00pm
Farm owners and others interested are invited to learn about conservation options and participate in a discussion about farms, transferring the family farm, and options for preserving critical agricultural resources. These informative sessions will be held jointly with Great Works' partner organization, Maine Farmland Trust, with the goal of educating anyone interested in protecting local food supplies and farmland.
Report on March 3rd Event:
More than 30 farmers, farmland owners, land use professionals and community members from Eliot, Ogunquit, and South Berwick gathered at the John F. Grange Hall in Eliot for a lively discussion and information session about the numerous resources and tools available to help conserve agricultural land for agricultural purposes, keep farmers on the land, and contribute to the rich agricultural history of our area.
Beth & Richard Johnson of Rustlewood Farm (Kittery/Eliot) discussed the benefits of working with Great Works and how critical the partnership was for the future success of the farm. Because of the various conservation tools available to them, "we get to continue farming," says Beth. "My husband is born into it, it's in his blood. Now, we get to farm as long as we want."
Charley Baer of Lover's Brook Farm (South Berwick) spoke about how conservation tools made it possible for him to begin his immensely successful Baer's Best. In speaking of one area of his property, "because the development rights had been sold, the land was affordable to me. The farmland easement allows me to do what I need to do to be successful."
Our Farmland Focus
Productive agricultural land is a finite and irreplaceable natural resource. Fertile soils are the result of climate, geology and biology and take thousands of years to develop. Farmlands are most often located near rivers, streams and roads, making them ideal location for development. Every year over 4,000 acres of Maine farmland are converted into developed uses and with them we lose the opportunity for local food production and critical habitat for other species.
Across the country, 2 acres of farmland are lost every minute. Here in Maine, 400,000 acres of farmland will be changing hands in the next 10 years, just due to the age of our farming community.
Now is the time to act. According to GrowSmart Maine, if the tillable portion of Maine's currently active farmland is developed at the same rate as it was during the past decade, most of Maine's productive farmland will disappear in the next 45 years.
We invite you to learn more, buy local and getting involved today by making a donation to the Great Works Farmland Fund today.

I have posted a news about our Java/NetBeans platform for AI prototyping in games in Java and Games forum and I was banned. So my question is where to put this kind of advertisement - to Java Announcements forum or to Reviews / Advertising ?
BTW: I have meant no harm. When I've found this forum I thought it could be beneficial for this community to know there exists our software (we've been developing it for 5 years now and its free and open source and still just only small part of the community even know it exists).
Sorry for not reading the FAQ or forum rules, but you could only pm me or move the topic - really warm welcome from Java community for me. :-)

Cultural differences among jurors and the possibility of a harsh sentence for a likable defendant were key elements in the mixed verdict for Lamont Motes in the fatal mob beatings of two men last summer, some jurors said Thursday.
Prosecutors had accused Motes of jumping up and down on one of the men who had been dragged from their van after it smashed into a stoop at 40th Street and Lake Park Avenue where a group of women had been sitting. One woman later died of her injuries.


text: I sight in and shoot my rifle in nd. the area is around 1300 feet above sea level. I was comfortable shooting out to 400 yards. I went to Wyoming antelope hunting and I think the elevation was around 5000. I shot my antelope at 400 yards and it did not seem to change the point of impact at all. I did shoot at a target out there before I shot at the antelope. but my question is there was no change that I noticed at 400 yards going from 1300 ft to 5000 ft in elevation but would I notice a change in point of impact going from 1300 feet to say 9 or 10,000 ft? I've just seen this topic on long range pursuit and I was curious what other's opinions are.

You know what I don't understand? I don't understand how men can see the name of my site–Money Hungry Bitch–and still be stupid enough and arrogant enough to think that I can be placated by small amounts of money. It's astounding, really. It kind of makes me wonder if they're really just shooting for some brutal humiliation or something.
This happened fairly recently with a new caller. He spent quite a bit of time reassuring me that he wanted financial domination from an elite money Mistress like me. Then, he went on to say that he had lots and lots of cash that he could give me because I deserved it for being so Goddess-like, blah, blah, blah.
I hear this kind of thing often, so if he was hoping to get my heart racing by saying these things to me, it wasn't working. After it went on for a while, I decided I'd test him to see if he'd put his money where his mouth was.
"All right then, my dear," I said. "If you think I'm a Goddess, it's time for you to tithe me."
"How much, Goddess?" he asked.
"Give me what you think a Goddess like me deserves," I replied. This is the test, you see. The figure he chooses says a lot about what kind of money slave he is.
He hemmed and hawed for awhile, and then he told me he was ready to tribute me. And after all that big talk, do you know what he offered me? $50! I laughed at him and asked him if he thought I was a waitress to get all excited over such a paltry sum.
Eventually, he added another zero in order to give a tribute more fitting a Goddess. Of course, that little bit is only the beginning, but he'll find that out soon enough.
Do you know how to treat a Goddess better than the stupid slave mentioned above? Good! Now it's time for you to put YOUR money where your mouth is and call Money Hungry Bitch up for a nice session of financial domination phone sex.

This week I attended and spoke at the first ever Dare Conference in London. It'd been such a busy month in the run up to the event, and aside from all the preparation I'd done for my talk, I'd not really taken the time to think about what I was planning to get out of attending.
Good job really, as I'm sure whatever my expectations might have been, they would likely have been completely obliterated by the experience I found.
Now that I've decompressed a little, but while the conference is still fresh in my mind, I thought I'd jot down my experience of it.
The right tone
One of the things which initially attracted me to Dare was the notion of people being brave and talking about and exposing their weaknesses or failures, and sharing what could be learned from them.
In the run up to the event, Jonathan Khan was very open about the fact that he'd initially made mistakes about the messaging he'd used in trying to market it to people, and how that had impacted on the number of tickets they had sold.
His opening comments on the first day were just as open, explaining to us what had happened and that the event wasn't going to break even. It was a really brave move, and it set the tone for the next two days perfectly. The honesty he generously offered us from the stage immediately switched everybody on to the fact that this was going to be a very different type of event.
One of the things which struck me straight away, and which gave me an inkling that something special was going to happen, was when I arrived, all nervous and full of anticipation for my sound check early on the first day.
I got the chance to sit and chat with a couple of the other speakers, many of whom were people I've gained a huge amount of respect for, and hold in high regard for their speaking credentials. Most, if not all, were just as nervous as me!
Why? First reason was because everybody was presenting entirely brand new talks — this was new territory for everybody; nobody was in their safe zone. Secondly, and more profoundly though, these were mostly talks which were very personal, which covered some really difficult or delicate subjects. There was a hell of a lot of bravery being shown on the stages — it was taking a lot of courage for these stories to be told.
And the audience picked up on that courage amazingly. I think that once Jonathan had set the tone with his brave introduction, people understood that, right, what we're going to hear here is going to be something quite dangerous. This wasn't going to be a load of safe, well-prepared lectures on process and doctrine — this was going to be people talking about their lives. And that means that if you take umbrage at something somebody says, or you don't respect what they're saying, then you're going to be disrespecting them.
It's hard to capture in words, as are most "in the moment" experiences, but I think by the end of two very intensive days of hearing all of the stories from the speakers, and from the people we chatted with over lunch and coffee, we all felt like we'd got to know one another's lives a little. We'd all been on this roller-coaster journey together, taking our own little detours on the way perhaps, but we'd all travelled a little way, grown in some little way.
Rather than learning new skills or techniques, we'd all learned a little bit about ourselves.
The end?
I met some really nice people at Dare. Not as many as I'd have liked: on day one I was too busy preparing and having micro-panics about my own talk to really engage with people as much as I ought to have done. And on the second day, my usual insecurities and feeling of being an outsider held me back from talking to as many people as I could have done.
But the people I did share time with were all really lovely people who had stories to share, and an ear to lend. Quite a few people I spoke to were struggling with some really quite fundamental questions about their careers, and the type of person they wanted to be. And often, I think it was the time between talks, when there was room for quiet contemplation or gentle discussion, which offered up some of the more profound moments.
I hope that Jonathan gathers the courage to repeat Dare in the future, because it was unlike any conference or business event I've ever been to. I was honoured and proud to be given the opportunity to share my story there, and I hope that people took a little something from it.
But I hope that if it does continue, then it retains it's intimate, fringe-like atmosphere. So much about the two days was "of the moment", and I worry that trying to repeat the same thing again, might feel, well: disingenuous. The organisers are very bright people though, so I'm sure they'd be able to find a way to make it work even more spectacularly.
Thank you Dare. You were magnificent. Thank you to everyone who looked after me and made me feel so welcome. I didn't really know what my expectations would be, but over the past few days you've taught me so, so much.

Blues jammers extrordinaire, Dov and Assaf put on a great show for the crowd at Mike's Place bar, on the Tel Aviv shore Wednesday night, Oct, 11.
The nationally famous pub was the scene of a suicide bombing on 30.4.2003 that killed three and wounded over 50, perpetrated by two Hamas - dispatched British Muslims.
Despite the lethal attack, Mike's Place reopened on Israel's Independence Day, and continues hosting a full house most nights and is a blues and classic rock-and-roll magnet in Israel.
More about Mike's Place: here, here, and a feature-length film, "Blues By The Beach."

Alumni Mentorship Programme
The IBEI Alumni Mentorship Programme was launched under the IBEI's admissions campaign the 2015-16 academic year with the aim of accompanying the potential students towards their application and admissions processes.
The IBEI as such provides students with answers to more formal questions such as the different master's programmes, housing, professors, courses, deadlines, visas etc. However, there are queries about the programmes and the Barcelona experience which the alumni,may be able to answer/clarify best by sharing their experience when studying at IBEI.
The basic responsibility for the alumni is to answer any questions regarding IBEI's programmes, the Barcelona experience, etc. and any other issues the applicants may have in mind. It ususally comes to be a crossing emails question but if you live in the same city, you may even end up getting together.
If you are a future student and you want to be part of the Alumni Mentorship Programme for the Academic Year 2017-18, you will have to contact the Admissions Office.
If you are an IBEI alumni and you want to become a Mentor please write us at firstname.lastname@example.com and join our Mentorship team!
Share the future, share the past

My baby turns seven months old today!
This month, Tala started going to a gastouder twice a week. A gastouder (the direct translation is guest parent, but loosely it means a childminder) runs a mini-daycare in their home, with a maximum of three or four children. When I was learning about childcare options in Holland, I wasn't ready to put Tala in daycare with its bigger groups of up to nine kids and more institutional system.
Then I discovered the gastouder option, which seemed like a good middle ground. The idea of fewer kids and a cozier setting in a home environment was really appealing to me; the Dutch ideal of coziness has really sunk in after nearly three years of living here!

I was sitting in Starbucks looking over the morning Seattle Post-Intelligencer when I glanced out the window and saw a big red Hummer working its way into a parking space next to my Hyundai Elantra. The young driver, wearing a baseball cap backwards, jumped down and came in. He paused a long moment inside the door and surveyed the room. Then he came over to me, the only person sitting alone, and hesitantly asked if I would buy him an Espresso Con Panna.
A panhandler in a Hummer? My face must have asked the question.
"I've had a very bad day." he sighs, as he wrestles with the lid on the espresso I bought him. "The $60 million we raised in just three rounds of financing went like gasoline through a Hummer. Our dot-com, xElera, was forced into bankruptcy. We sold everything to the walls and now even that money's gone."
"What about the Hummer?" I ask.
"I got that after the earthquake. It was only a hundred thousand dollars."
"You ever think about something less expensive, like a Hyundai Elantra?"
"That's a Korean car, isn't it? What's it cost? Is it any good?"
"Are you ready for some superlatives? If the Elantra cost $45,000 and came from Germany, there'd be a waiting list to get one. It is absolutely amazing. The engine is strong and smooth. The five-speed transmission is as good as the best I've ever seen. The handling is not just good, its fantastic. It's not the roomiest four-seater on the freeway but the front seats are big enough and they are delightfully contoured. I've never driven any car that will turn tighter. You don't think about turning radius much until you get one that's really bad or really good. Switching from the Elantra to even a mid-size sedan becomes annoying. This Elantra has to be the best small car value on the market. And here's the kicker, MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) is $12,637. It's the best car I've driven under $20,000. Dump the Hummer, buy an Elantra, you'll have enough money left over to buy gas for years. The estimated annual fuel cost is $723.00."
"But," he whined, "it's from Korea."
"Yes," I emphasize. "The Korean automobile industry is where the Japanese were about 30 years ago. Japanese cars got a foothold in this market when the fuel crisis of 1973 caught American manufacturers with nothing to offer but big gas guzzlers. The Korean manufacturers don't have that advantage, so they are using two features to crack this market, lower prices and longer warranties. I don't know about all the Korean cars, but this one is impressive."
He digs a laptop out of his little bag. "Give me some data."
"The inline four cylinder two liter engine has 140 horsepower. That's in a car that weighs only 2,635 pounds. Each horse has to move less than 19 pounds."
"Is this a stripped-down loss leader or what?"
"It has air, power windows, locks and mirrors, adjustable steering wheel, remote trunk release and fuel door release, split folding rear seatback, driver's seat isn't power but it adjusts six ways. Most everything is standard but there are a few options. My test car only has extra cost floor mats and mud guards. You can spend money for an automatic transmission, cruise control, power sunroof, antilock brakes, more powerful sound system, but that's it."
He types while talking. "But how safe can it be?"
"You know your government crash-tests everything. Of course the Elantra has airbags, but it also has side airbags. Standard. It has child-seat anchors and child safety door locks, too."
"But will it hold up?"
"Original owner gets limited powertrain coverage for 10 years/100,000 miles. A five year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty is transferable. Five year/100,000 mile corrosion coverage. Five year/unlimited mileage 24-hour roadside assistance coverage includes emergency towing, locked doors, even some expenses for trip delays."
"All that for under $13,000. We used to spend more than that on weekly office parties."
"What was your dot-com? What service did you offer?"
"We wrote a business plan. It detailed how we were going to come up with something to do on the Internet if we could only get venture capital. Money poured in. Then some overbearing investors asked to see our mission statement. We wrote a terrific statement, `Our mission is to make xElera a household name with a thirty second spot on the Super Bowl.' Our spot ran in the first quarter, too. I still can't see how that didn't work. Can I have another Espresso Con Panna? Know anybody who wants to buy a Hummer?"
Base price, $12,499
As tested, $12,637

The new Conway Municipal Airport, which is planned to open in 2014, will be managed by the city, and the Conway City Council will begin taking steps to install a department head to run the airport.
After establishing an Airport Advisory Committee, the council will now consider a resolution that will place the airport as a department within the city. The committee recommended this to Conway Mayor Tab Townsell last week.
"The committee voted unanimously to recommend that the City take over the management of the new airport when it becomes operational by hiring a good manager who would report to the council," said Bill Hegeman, chairman of the advisory committee. "It was the feeling of the committee that this would give us the greatest control of all the factors relative to the operation of a new facility, provide the highest revenue stream, better control investments in the new facility and better project the positive image that is desired in a general aviation airport."
The committee includes Hegeman, William Adkisson, Brad Teague, Steve Magie, Fletcher Smith, Harrell Clendenin, Kevin Wish, Jack Bell and Ronnie Hall.
The city now utilizes a Fixed Base Operator to operate and manage the current airport with little or no input from city officials.
The new airport is on schedule for a late summer opening in 2014, according to Hall. The council will consider the acceptance of a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration, which will be part of the numerous grants given from the agency and the state for the airport. A $7.5 million loan has been secured for the ability to finish the airport, until the sale of the old airport is complete. According to amounts given by Hall, the net cost of the new airport to the city is about $9 million.

The Mavericks stink.
That's the analysis from Charles Barkley, who is not breaking any news with his thoughts that the Mavericks are, at best, a quick, easy out in the playoffs for one of the top seeds.
"(The Mavericks) are not tough enough, they don't get easy baskets, they are a jump shooting team and they don't play great defense,'' Barkley said during Thursday's TNT telecast.
"Jason Kidd says, 'when we make shots and we play defense, we're pretty good.' I said, 'so is everyone else in the world.' They don't play defense consistently, they don't have a big guy that's going to get them easy shots. They are going to have good games and bad games, but the bottom line is the Dallas Mavericks are not a very good team."
Then again, word has it that Barkley had Philadelphia in the NFC championship game, too.
--Eddie Sefko
Barkley does get a break on his jail sentence, however.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is highlighting a new report from an arm of the National Academies that says Americans in some neighborhoods have lower life expectancies than people living in countries like Ethiopia and Sudan.
Sanders, chairman of the Senate subcommittee on aging, held a hearing Wednesday to discuss the disparities in life expectancy between regions of the United States and even neighborhoods within cities.
He cited a report by the Institute of Medicine that found Americans have shorter life expectancies than people in 16 other high-income countries.
Sanders cited poorer parts of the United States, including some rural counties and inner city neighborhoods, saying parts of Boston and Baltimore have a lower life expectancy than Ethiopia and Sudan.

A full-blown ethics inquiry is rare, but it is not unprecedented. So, while the senators investigating whether Sen. Scott Bundgaard breached the chamber's ethical rules have a lot of questions about how to conduct the trial, old Senate records actually provide plenty of guidance.
Just three years ago, for example, the Senate Ethics Committee also heard a complaint against then-Sen. Jack Harper, R-Surprise. The complaint stemmed from Harper's action to turn off the microphone of two Democrats who were staging a filibuster in an attempt to derail the passage of the contentious marriage amendment proposal in 2008. That committee kept the ethics trial simple: Each side was allowed a chance to speak, committee members asked questions, and they then decided to dismiss the ethics complaint.
Bundgaard's case is obviously more complex since it arose from domestic violence-related offenses. Additionally, the trial could potentially involve police investigators and witnesses, not to mention lawyers.
But today's ethics committee members aren't the first ones to grapple with questions about how to conduct a trial that is expected to look like a court hearing. The 1991 ethics investigation that stemmed from "AzScam," one of Arizona's biggest political scandals, also dealt with calling witnesses and presenting documents. For example, the senators then hired a special counsel to initially investigate accusations. The special counsel later acted as the "prosecutor" in the case.
Today's committee members understand the need to establish a burden of proof standard that will allow them to weigh the evidence and decide whether Bundgaard violated the Senate's rules on ethics. The 1991 AzScam ethics hearings also provide guidance on that matter, as the committee adopted the "substantial evidence" standard. This standard means evidence that a reasonable mind could accept as adequate to support a conclusion.
Another big question is the mechanics of the trial itself. Fortunately for today's senators, minutes of the 1991 case exist and those records include details of procedures, such as which side the panel's members wanted to speak first. Actually, those records also contain accounts of how the ethics committee dealt with motions that are typically filed in a judicial court.
In short, answers are available. Additionally, many of those who attended the ethics hearing in 1991 are still around — and they undoubtedly can provide plenty of advice to today's committee members.

When I was cooking only for my husband, and subsequently for him and my growing son, I had no doubt about what would taste good to us and what would be the simplest way for me to produce it. I embarked on a professional food career with the same conviction. I understood cooking to be a set of simple techniques applied with respect for the basic components of a meal freshly made from good, everyday ingredients. Cooking was the craft, I thought, practiced at home to bring good food and happiness to the family table. The classes I taught and cookbooks I wrote were intended as demonstrations of those principles. Cooking was from always, cooking was forever, I thought.
A time came, however, that I began to wonder whether cooking was something else. Was it entertainment for television, was it the arbitrary creation of attention-seeking and media-ennobled chefs, did it emerge from an expensive collection of science-fiction gadgetry, was it the product of a laboratory or of a kitchen, was it foaming cauliflower or spherical tomatoes, was it a two-and-a-half hour process for frying a skilletful of potatoes? Could it be that the subject of my teaching and writing was becoming an anachronism, headed for the waste bin of history?
It was almost a year and a half ago that I began to bring up the posts of a group calling itself Pomodori e Vino. There were nine of them, seven women, two men, scattered in the US from Alabama, Florida, Missouri, and California, to Alaska. Two lived in Canada. They had proposed to cook their way in rotation through all the recipes, more than 400, in Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, a book some of whose contents I had set down 40 years ago.
Every day for sixty-two weeks my Pomodori, as I began to refer to them, cooked a dish from Essentials without skipping a day or a recipe. There were no failures, although they experienced different degrees of pleasure. If you are brought up in North America, you may have a cultural impediment to the free enjoyment of lamb kidneys. Every post provided a candid commentary on the production of the recipe of the day, on its provisioning, on the sometimes unfamiliar techniques and methods it required, on the stages of its preparation, and on the final result. Photographs lucidly accompanied the steps, from assemblage of ingredients to presentation at table.
If you have ever feared, as I have, that the practice of good, simple cooking was going out of style, go to the Pomodori e Vino blog, and retrace as many of its posts as you can make time for. No comparable collection of recipes has ever before been brought so fully to life, so respectfully executed, so minutely illustrated, and so usefully commented by such a collection of genuine cooks. As I followed my Pomodori each day that they cooked from a page of that tome of mine, I was comforted to find that cooking, as I had understood and practiced it, had endured and still mattered.

wow huntington WAKE UP
I've been with Huntington for over 15 years!! And I've never run into any of the issues posted here. Anytime I've gotten over draft fees that weren't warranted and some that were customer service in bank and phone bank usually reversed any charges provided you don't get more than one or two in a certain period..Even my children now have accounts with Huntington.. However I will say of late your customer service reps (personal bankers) in bank at least aren't as well trained..as the tellers of the past while these people are trained to do other baking besides just teller work.. They aren't being trained well or they aren't retaining the information.. Often times after banking with you so long I tell them how to do what I need done.. (But hey after 15 or so years you do pickup a few things if you not careful) anyway my complaint is about the telephone system for making payments to credit card it's antiquated there needs to be a separate number for the credit cards.. It's a huge headache to make an over the phone payment from a non huntingting account, and seems impossible to make one online..a friend needed to purchase something and I allowed her to place on my credit card, but trying to make the payment from her non huntington account was a hassle.. Are you marketing your cards to only huntington banking customers.. (Big mistake if so) anyhow need to update the way you handle your credit cards all together..you don't seem to review these accounts like other credit card companies you don't offer increased credit based on good history instead I'm told I need to fill out a new credit card application?? What's this are you serious! This is not the way you do credit cards.. And being only able to update the rewards program to different accounts every quarter..is totally antiquated you really need to look into how other banking systems run their cards being fairly new to the credit card arena it's understandable that you're still learning how to play this game ..it's a good concept but lacks technology.. In today's world you've really got to tech up or you loose out eventually..I love my huntington banks in bank, in store, and customer care centers but you have to update and update quickly to stay ahead here..most of the complaints listed could be resolved by updating your technology.. Waiting upto 10 days for a replacement card.. That's unheard of in today's banking world for credit card holders.. Come on Huntington Give me more reasons to rave about you.. Be the bank that lured me all those years ago... update the technology..and take time to train these people..hire good people..and you can only do that by paying better you only get what you pay for these days.. You pay crappy you're going to get crappy help thats just the way it is these days..and you also need to take away the list of goals your bankers need to hit..give them incentives for selling those items but don't make them goals if they concentrating on trying to sell all the other non banking crap they aren't focusing on the needs of the customer.. More and more customers are banking online they aren't standing in your bank lines so really how do you think these bankers can hit the goals your setting for them..with fewer in face customers..times have changed you must change to or your going to get left behind..trying to stuff new products like insurance and whatever else you're trying to sell down your customers throats only makes them go elsewhere. Mostly when you see a face to face customer they likely have an issue and aren't in a mood to be getting sold anything anyway..get out of your fancy offices come down to the banks and see what your bankers, tellers, and customer services agents are doing.. And you will see how things can be done better..stop looking at the charts see your people! After all these years I know that your employees are some of the hardest workers eager to provide the best in customer satisfaction let them do it without all the constraints! And you will extend beyond Ohio, MI, and IN..Thank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

Interview with Jay Raval, Mumbai Diamond Market
Tell us about your career in Indian Diamond Industry?
Started working in diamond market in 1999 as a trainee at Sanghvi Exports. In beginning I got paid very small stipend. In next 7 years learned all about diamonds and its manufacturing. First year – did not even touch diamond. It was all about assisting in office work and maintaining records – size , wt. etc.
Year 2 and Year 3 – started diamond assortment, also started understanding price and stock management. I kept moving to different areas inside company – solitaire diamonds, white, selection rejection department etc.
Later I also got chance to work for office in overseas. I started doing well in sells.
Presently, I work with Maruti Jewels and take care of Account related year for last 6 years.
How was slowdown of 2008?
I would say It was not bad for us – I was working with Maruti Jewels. We were more in to single cut diamonds.
People who once sold diamonds at 2300 to 2500 per carat were selling at 1500 per carat and to do that, they would stop by your office personally. There was lack of demand and everyone was looking to en-cash ..
What good or bad you have seen in diamond market?
Not so good aspect – I have lived and worked out of India for sometime and that made me distinctly see the difference in people's attitude. Problem with India is if someone tries rise high – there are 10 people to pull him down.
If an Indian goes to other Indian office with demand for some diamonds – deal doesn't get through. Same person will sell it for lower price to a foreigner.
Good Aspect – humongous support amongst Jain community. A new comer gets lot of support. They support a new comer by giving their own good to sell.
What changes do you see in market in next 5 years?
Its difficult to predict anything. No one can correctly tell you about what will happen to prices in next 6 months. How can I talk about 5 years from now.
What do you think of shifting BKC to Bharat Diamond Brouse?
Not in favour of moving to BKC. Main problem is of safety. Commuting is not convenient. If we talk of owners and people on high post it's possible to travel – but people who are in assortment, marketing and other it's big problem to travel to BKC. If we people from market want security and other benefit which are implemented in BKC – we can have most of it at opera house itself.
In stock market which diamond company you would invest?
I would invest in KGK Cretions, C Mahendra, Shairu, sanghavi exports, Kiran exports.
What is your favorite pass time?
I am always looking for opportunity. Always watching for some low price goods which I can buy and trade 🙂
How was the recent Hong Kong fair?
I had word with my friends who are in international market they said market was slow for last 6 month but now we should see good response in fair – however after 10 days they said there is no change in market and it is still slow.

Meet the Robinsons® is owned by Walt Disney Pictures
Life in College
Chapter One: Prologue
Author's Note: This story takes place during Cornelius's third year of college and Franny's first. I will be honest and say that I took my creative liberties with this story. I'm sorry if you don't like it. I'm also going to apologize in advance since I don't update more often. Sometimes I get writer's block and I would love to hear your comments or suggestions to help me out, so please review or send me a private message.
St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota:
Third Person~Cornelius
Cornelius Robinson was running late for one of the classes that he was a student assistant for. He was helping one of his former teachers with their quantitative methods for biology class. The class started in five minutes and he was at least ten minutes away. He ran through the crowds of students, pushing a few out of his way and muttering a quick apology afterwards. If only he hadn't been up late the night before working on his design ideas for a hover board, then he wouldn't of woken up late, and he wouldn't be rushing around the campus at this moment. Suddenly, he burst thru the doors and into the class. Almost everyone turned around to stare at him as he gave a shy smile.
"And who exactly are you supposed to be," the teacher asked from the front of the class room.
"I'm sorry I'm late sir. I'm your student assistant for this semester, Cornelius Robinson."
"Alright then, you can come up here and sit in this desk. I hope you don't make it a habit to be late."
"Yes sir, and I don't plan on making it a habit."
"Good. Now, back to business..."
While the teacher droned on, Cornelius sat at his desk and familiarized himself with the students he would soon be mentoring. He was casually looking around the room when he saw Franny. He hadn't seen or heard from her since he had graduated from high school.
"Of course," he thought to himself, "she always did love her frogs. No wonder she's in this class."
As continued to gaze around the room, he couldn't help but to look back at her. Back when they went to high school together, they were pretty good friends. He even had a crush on her. Whenever they were hanging out with their mutual friends he'd find a way to mention an invention he was working on with the hope that it would impress her. Sadly, he was always to shy to ask her out, so he never found out she felt the same about him.
Third Person~Franny
Franny was in the middle of taking notes when she heard the doors burst open behind her. When she turned around to see who it was that was interrupting her favorite class so far, she saw an old friend. Back when they went to high school together, she could remember how he'd find a way to mention an invention he was working on whenever they were hanging out. She was always impressed by what he could come with.
Although she never told him, she had had the biggest crush on him when they were younger. Something about his blonde, spiky hair and his nerdy ways attracted her to him. Plus, he didn't think she was crazy when she told him about her lifelong dream to conduct frogs. She would always hope that one day he'd ask her out, but it never happened.
While the teacher droned on about biology, Franny couldn't help but to steal quiet, little glances of Cornelius. Once class was dismissed, Franny decided to sneak up behind him and say hello.
Third Person~Both
"Well hello there."
"Woah, Franny, you scared me a little there," Cornelius said turning around and scratching the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry. So... I haven't seen ya in awhile, how've you been?"
"Oh, you know me... I've been keeping busy with new ideas and inventions. What about you?"
"I've managed to stay busy. Over the summer I went to a pretty awesome music camp."
"That sounds fun."
"Yeah, I really liked it. Anyways, I just wanted to come over and say hi. It's good to see you again. I guess I'll be seeing a lot of you now though since your the assistant, huh?"
"You bet. And I'm glad you came over. It was nice to see you again."
"Me too. Well, I gotta get to my next class. I guess I'll see ya later," Franny said as she moved towards the door and towards her next class.
Third Person~Cornelius
After Franny had walked away, Cornelius face palmed himself. How could he have said such lame things? Man, she must think he is such a dork... He finished gathering up his stuff and started to head towards his next class.

I'll take all the chocolate, please! That's how it feels with these donuts.
I'm a pretty huge fan of donuts, and while I admit that baked donuts are not the same as good 'ol fried ones, these are pretty delicious. I dubbed them chocolate mocha chip donuts because they are rich chocolate cake cupcakes with espresso powder and mini chocolate chips. Then they're topped an espresso chocolate glaze, which really brings out
the coffee flavor. Next to your morning cup of coffee, one of these will wake you UP and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time.
Donuts are surprisingly easy to make when you bake them in a donut pan, so nothing has to stop you from whipping up a batch of these extra chocolatey espresso donuts.
For the donuts (makes about 8 donuts):
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter, cooled
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp espresso powder (or ground coffee)
- ⅓ cup milk (whole milk recommended)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 6-cavity doughnut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a small saucepan on the stove, heat the milk on low heat until it begins to sizzle. Remove from heat and sir in the espresso powder or ground coffee, stirring until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
In one bowl, whisk together the flour, sifted cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of your mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix the melted butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla until well-combined. Add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk and coffee mixture until the batter is completely mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
The batter will be thick. I recommend pouring all the batter into a large ziplock bag and cutting the corner tip to pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. The donut should have a cake-like consistency. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before turning over onto a cooling rack.
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 3-4 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder or ground coffee
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp light corn syrup
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, heavy cream, corn syrup and vanilla until the butter has melted and the cream begins to sizzle. Turn heat down to low and stir in the espresso powder and chocolate until melted. Stir in the powdered sugar until completely combined and dissolved into the glaze.
Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the warm glaze and immediately sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or sprinkles and let cool completely. It hardens quickly, so if it gets too thick to dip the donuts, whisk again on the stove for 30 seconds to thin it out. Let sit until they're hardened and then bite 'em, stack 'em, store 'em and enjoy one alongside your morning coffee. You won't regret it!
