Full-frame image sensor. Extremely sharp lens. Excellent high ISO performance. Fast burst shooting. Short shutter lag. Fast f/2 aperture. 1080p60 video capture. Top-notch control layout.
Expensive, and accessories are very pricey. No zoom capability. Slow to start and shoot. Lens shows some barrel distortion. No built-in viewfinder. External battery charger not included.
Bottom Line
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 is the smallest full-frame camera you can find right now, and while it pumps out gorgeous images, its price is likely to induce sticker shock.
The RX1 is a bit slow to start and take its first shot—requiring 2.5 seconds. Shutter lag, which includes the time it takes to confirm focus is rather short at 0.15-second, and the camera can capture a burst of 13 Raw or JPG photos at 5.2 frames per second; if you shoot Raw+JPG, the burst is limited to 10 shots. Recovery time varies based on shooting format—you'll be able to take another photo after a full JPG or Raw+JPG burst in a little under 14 seconds, with recovery a relatively short 6 seconds when shooting only Raw files. If the lens needs to travel a bit to bring a scene into focus the lag time is a bit longer, averaging 0.6-second in good light and 1.8 seconds in very dim light.
The speed performance is not out of line with other big-sensor compacts. The Sigma DP1 Merrill requires a bit more time to start and shoot, 2.9 seconds, records a 0.3-second shutter lag, and can fire off a 7-shot burst of photos at 3.8 frames per second, albeit with much longer recovery time when tested with the same SanDisk 95MBps memory card. The DP1's focus also takes about 0.6 second to hunt and lock onto a subject in good light, and 1.8 seconds in dim light.
I used Imatest to check the sharpness of the camera's 35mm f/2 lens. Even at its widest aperture it scored an impressive 2,275 lines per picture height—much better than the 1,800 lines required for a sharp photo. Edge performance is excellent, even wide open, with mean scores just under 2,000 lines. Overall sharpness hits 2,400 lines at f/2.8, and hovers around that figure through f/8. The only flaw with the lens is some barrel distortion, about 2.5 percent. If you shoot Raw this can be corrected in Lightroom, and the camera has built-in correction if you opt to use it for JPG shooting. The Leica X2's Elmarit lens is nearly as sharp, hitting 2,089 lines at f/2.8 and peaking at 2,318 lines at f/5.6—but it's a full f-stop slower. The RX1 makes it possible to blur the background of a photo to a greater extent than you would be able to with the Leica thanks to the wider aperture and larger image sensor.
Imatest also measures noise, which can sap detail and give photos a grainy look as sensitivity to light is increased. The RX1 shoots JPG photos with less than 1.5 percent noise through ISO 12800, but detail suffers greatly at this setting. Raw files shot at 12800 are sharper, but are extremely grainy. JPG detail is better at ISO 6400, and is really good at ISO 3200. The RX1 is by far the best big-lens compact performer when it comes to high ISO performance, although its images lag behind our Editors' Choice full-frame D-SLR, the Canon EOS 6D keeps noise under control through ISO 12800, but manages to eke a bit more detail out of shots at that setting; the 6D is about a stop better in terms of JPG quality from ISO 3200 onward. , which also
The RX1 captures video at 1080p60, 1080i60, or 1080p24 in the AVCHD format. The quality is excellent, and the lens can refocus during recording. Video autofocus seems to be about the same speed as for stills. There's no manual aperture control available when rolling footage—in decent light, the lens stops down to f/5.6 to increase depth of field, but the iris does open to let more light in when rolling footage in a dim environment. There is a microphone input port, so you can add an external mic if you want to use the camera for serious video work. Other ports include a micro USB interface that doubles as connection for the included AC adapter for in-camera battery charging and a micro HDMI port. In addition to SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, the RX1 supports Sony's Memory Stick Duo format.
If the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 has a flaw, it's the price. At $2,800, before you add any accessories, it exceeds the cost of most D-SLRs, even full-frame models like the Canon EOS 6D and Nikon D600. Of course, the price includes an outstanding Carl Zeiss Sonnar lens that supports autofocus; the Zeiss 35mm Distagon T* available for Nikon and Canon SLRs sells for more than $1,100 on its own, and is a pure manual focus lens. The lack of a built-in viewfinder is a sticking point, if you want to add an electronic viewfinder the price of the package climbs to a staggering $3,250. If you want a similar camera with a built-in viewfinder, consider the Fujifilm X100s. It offers an identical field of view and an f/2 lens, but its APS-C sensor won't produce as shallow a depth of field at comparable apertures.
The RX1 isn't a camera for everyone—casual shooters wouldn't even consider spending this much on a digital camera, and wildlife and sports photographers can't live without a 100-400mm zoom lens. Some may be offput by the size of the lens in relation to the body—without taking the lens into account, the RX1 is impressively compact. Sony could have chosen to reduce the size of the camera with a different lens design—a 40mm f/2.8 is a traditional pancake design for SLRs and rangefinders alike—but opted for a faster lens that, amazingly, is sharp from edge to edge. If you cut your teeth on a 35mm lens and couldn't imagine needing another focal length for your photographic work, the RX1 is likely a dream camera, as it delivers image quality you'd expect from a top-end D-SLR into comparatively compact form factor. It's for that reason that, in spite of its high asking price, that we award our Editors' Choice award to the RX1.

On Wednesday, for example, we got an e-mail from Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), who's up for reelection in 2014, giving us a heads up to a "Holiday Reception in support of her re-election" on Tuesday, Dec. 11 at Fiola on Pennsylvania Avenue. (Only $5,000 for a Political Action Committee.)
The Democrats, even if they manage to hold on to the Senate this time around, are in a very bad way in 2014, our colleague Aaron Blake noted in September, saying the map looks "murderous" for the Ds.
This is the class that ran with Obama in 2008, but he's not running, and the Democrats are defending 20 seats, while the GOP only has 13 up for reelection. And "12 of those 20 Democrats come from either red states (six) or swing states," Blake wrote.
We liked the way Sen.Mark Warner (D-Va.) also up in 2014, styled his Oct. 18 invitation as a "Roundtable Lunch" Nov. 14 at Johnny's Half Shell "to discuss the looming fiscal cliff. "
So this is a serious, wonky policy lunch. Only $5,000 for a "co-host," $2,500 for a sponsor and $1,000 for a "friend." That's very serious.
But it's not just the Democrats who are hitting lobbyists and others up for campaign cash.
Loop Favorite Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), last seen two years ago landing his plane on a closed runway in Port Isabel, Tex., narrowly missing a maintenance crew working out there, is also up in 2014, when he'll be a spry 79-year-old.
He invited us to join him Nov. 28 for his "Second Annual Seafood Birthday Celebration" with his favorite "Joe's Stone Crabs" being flown in from Miami Beach. It's at Charlie Palmer's and only half the price of Warner's lunch.
For those who want something out of town, Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), running in 2014, is hosting the "First Annual Idaho Hunting Excursion" in January in Haggerman, Idaho, featuring goose and duck hunting. The invite helpfully reminds us he's on three Senate Committees, including Energy & Natural Resources.
Just because Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) isn't running next cycle doesn't mean you shouldn't join him March 8-10 for his "Big Sky Winter Weekend" in Big Sky, Mont.
Did you miss a golden opportunity Wednesday to part with $1,500 — $2,500 for a PAC — for a Halloween lunch at Johnny's Half Shell for Missouri GOP Sen. Roy Blunt's ROYB Fund PAC ?
Not to worry. Our invite e-mail also includes info. on the "Annual Blunt Hunt" on Nov. 19 in King George, Va. and then the "Family Retreat" in Orlando at Disney's Beach Club Resort over President's Day weekend in February.
What? The election ads have driven the kids to distraction, and you can't wait until February to get away?
No problem. You can join Reps. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.) and Tom Reed (R- N.Y.) in Orlando on Nov. 9 for their first annual "Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure Family Weekend." It's $4,000 for a PAC, $2,000 for an individual.

Wedding Collection 2008 by Lilit Margaryan
July 10, 2008 by Armine Tadevosyan
With the support of Armenian Fashion Council, fashion designer Lilit Margaryan has organized the photo session of her new Wedding Collection 2008.
Dresses in the new collection are both ingenuously romatic and glamourous, flirty and dramatic, saturated with handbeading, lace embelisshment, 3D florals and sophisticated draping. Full skirts with sheer lace corsetry have some retro sense, elegant body cons with extra long trains remind of a mermaid. From snow white to creamy, pearly and peachy colours the fabrics are enreached with decorative ornamentation. Bridals are layered and sculptures in imaginary shapes while evening gowns, in silver, black, turquoise, are curvilinear, accentuating eternal femininity peculiar Lilit's designs.
Photo session took place at Golden Palace Hotel's Presidential Suite, and we want to thank the management of the hotel for their support and patience.

Schultz sizzling on Nationwide Tour
The official registration total for the 77th Pine to Palm is 429, down only two players from last year. A breakdown of the divisions show 186 are in the Championship Flight up 28 players from last year. There are 144 players in the Numbered Flights, down 43. The Seniors Flight has 77 competitors, down 9. We again thank all of the players, caddies, committee members and fans for making the Pine to Palm the largest amateur or professional golf tournament in the United States.
Our new division, the Mid Amateur, has 22 players forty years old and older. Bob Gorden, chairman of the Pine to Palm and the rest of the committee are very happy with the excellent turnout considering the state of the economy and the PGA Championship going on simultaneously with the Pine to Palm at Hazeltine National Golf Course. The all-time record for players in the tournament is 540 in 1999.
Chuck Merry, former Pine to Palm chairman from 1980-1993 shot his age (74) at the Detroit Country Club on June 3rd. Way to go Chuck!
Dave Schultz, 2005 Pine to Palm Champion and now on the Nationwide Tour finished at 15 under and tied for second place last Sunday at the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open in Wichita, Kansas. Schultz fired rounds of 66-69-67-67 (269), one stroke behind the winner Chris Tidland.
With the runner-up finish, Schultz collected $48,400 for the event and moved up to 24th place on the Tour's money list this season for season total of $114,804. The top 25 golfers at the end of the year qualify for next years PGA Tour. Schultz will play in the Price Cutter Charity Championship today thru Sunday in Springfield, Missouri. There are eleven events left on this year's schedule.
Frank Winsor, of the Twin Cities and summer resident of Detroit Lakes is not playing in the Pine To Palm this year. Winsor who has played in 54 Pine to Palms is joined by Mark Ericksen Sr., also in his 54th tournament.
New inductees into the 25 year club are: John Bartley, Larry Olin and Rick Johnson. Our apologizes to the three golfers not included in the 2009 "Tradition" magazine: Jim Winsor-28 years, Ron Smet-26 and Rick Johnson-25.

Hello Baby Direct Customer Reviews
A site with more than just baby shopping
As a new parent I've found the Hello Baby Direct site to be a great help. They have a nice selection of products and everything you'd expect to find (push chairs, toys, nappies, safety products). On top of the shopping they also have a blog and baby advice section, which personally I've found to be very useful. I wasn't sure about reusable nappies and I was able to read up about them on their site to make a more informed decision. The products I've ordered to date have been great and no complaints on the shipping speed or customer service. Will definitely continue to shop with them!
Great advice as well as products
With the birth of my little boy, my first child, I really wanted to use as many natural products as possible, including non-disposable nappies. My mum friends and I discussed it at length, and they all seemed to think it was too much hassle and not that much better for the planet. Well, I visited this site and got some great advice on the top, and I've not looked back since. I love using the reusable nappies, and I have Hello Baby to thank. The service here is superb.

According to information provided by Ludowici Police Department, Officer Frankie Goff at around 4:40 a.m. Sunday saw a vehicle that appeared to have an illegal degree of a window tint, and pulled the driver over.
The driver, Terry Lamont Nelson, age 25, pulled his Buick Electra over and then, according to Goff, consented to be searched. The dog unit from the Long County Sheriff's Department was called in to assist.
During the search, officers found the Jesup resident to be in possession of six plastic bags in his front pants pocket, which contained a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana.
Nelson was then arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute. According to Goff the Jesup resident was then processed and turned over to the LCSD to await bond.
According to LPD Officer Sal Genualdi, a state certified marijuana examiner will test the substance suspected of being marijuana.

Forget what all the other beauty blogs are saying about fiber lashes because I had the opportunity to try Cherry Blooms fibre lashes makeup and holy shmokes; in love.
A couple of months ago, I tried Younique Fiber Lash makeup and although I absolutely loved it, this new brand has taken the cake.
As an eyelash-addict myself, I place high importance on the quality, length and volume of lashes.
My mascara make up tips are my bible, and my eyelash beauty regime is my religion.
Why I Love Cherry Blooms Fiber Lashes The Best
My biggest problem with the Younique makeup was that the fiber lashes were constantly getting in my eye. At first, I thought this was a result of me being new to the process, but as I continued to use fiber mascara on the daily, perfecting every movement of the wand, I realized that it wasn't me at all.
Mind you, I don't want to totally poop on Younique's party because I did like their fiber lashes too!
However, I tried Cherry Blooms fiber mascara and wow. That's it. First sweep of my wand and I was in eyelash haven.
The fiber lashes stuck; not suck.
- The glue was much better and certainly not as clumpy.
However, this could be the result of your mascara which you sweep a coat on prior to using the fiber lashes but I've been using the same brand of mascara for the life of me. That's the only make up tips that I have; use a good mascara no matter what; fiber lashes and not!
- The fibers really bonded and allowed your lashes to be blown out naturally and damn fabulously.
- Natural, natural, natural.
Totally natural looking; aside from your incredible lash length since guys seem to be the only ones born with pretty lashes (it's not fair).
What People Are Saying (And Doing)… Awkward
I literally had my mom grab onto my eyelashes one night and pull; expecting my falsies to fall off, but they weren't fake! They were my own lashes enhanced from the Cherry Blooms. So, my eyelid followed. My mom couldn't believe it.
My bestie was caught staring at my lashes and then finally asked, "Are those the fiber lashes you've been boasting about?!" Why yes, yes they are.
I also had a meeting with a client who asked where I got my lash extensions done. "In a bottle," is what I replied. They honestly couldn't believe it, so I pulled my Cherry Blooms out of my purse and watched everyone's jaw drops.
Why is Everyone So Shocked?
I assume that it is because there has never been a makeup product that has been able to give you such fantastic, natural looking lashes. You always have to go to the extreme of gluing (or sewing) on false lashes and extensions. The fact that we can now do the same thing without ruining our lashes all at home is phenomenal.
Check out my Instagram and enter to win some for yourself! You will never, ever go back to regular makeup.
What is your favourite brand of mascara and why do you love it so much?

Laura Veirs
Seattle singer/songwriter Laura Veirs sings personal songs of romantic intoxication, everyday vignettes, and occasional social commentary that are often heavy on introspection and intense character scrutiny. Her vocals and melodies rapidly shift and veer, up and down her wide vocal range. She put out her own self-titled CD, recorded live and featuring just her and guitar, in 1999. Though she went to the studio for her next album, The Triumphs & Travails of Orphan Mae, it too was self-released (though it saw greater distribution after British label Bella Union decided to reissue it in 2005). 2003 brought the release of Troubled by the Fire, a full-band effort that found the artist sharing the studio with such luminaries as Bill Frisell, Amy Denio, and Fred Chalenor. She signed to Nonesuch the following year and recorded the atmospheric Carbon Glacier, followed by Year of Meteors in August of 2005 and Saltbreakers in 2007. Veirs returned to her folk-leaning roots with 2010's July Flame and switched gears again the following year with Tumble Bee, drawing on the American songbook to create her first-ever children's record. In the summer of 2013, she released Warp & Weft, a collection of primarily original material, produced by her husband, Tucker Martine. In 2015, Veirs contributed vocals to acclaimed albums by Sufjan Stevens (Carrie and Lowell) and the Decemberists (What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World). In 2016, Veirs collaborated with celebrated vocalists and songwriters Neko Case and k.d. lang for a much anticipated trio album, case/lang/veirs. ~ Richie Unterberger

There's definitely something cool about being able to play as specific character classes or to jump into and command any vehicle you find in the level (including a 360-only snowmobile). And each arena is very well designed, not usually giving an unfair advantage to any particular class. Motoring around in a Humvee is just as easy and useful as climbing a structure to find a great sniping point.

High school teacher Aaron Vanderwerff was recognized on Tuesday for the development of an inventive science program that has helped transform the lives of young students at Lighthouse Community Charter School, in Oakland.
Vanderwerff was one of 100 educators chosen by ING US to receive a $2,000 award for creating a groundbreaking learning curriculum, plus an additional $5,000 for placing third in the program.
"Mr. V," as his students refer to him, has taught Chemistry, Physics, and Robotics at Lighthouse for five years. Nearly 300 students attended the ceremony celebrating Vanderwerff, who received his award through ING's Unsung Heroes program.
"I was excited to be among the 100 educators just because it means that people are understanding that this is really something that can affect and impact kids," said Vanderwerff. "When I found out that we got the bigger grant, I think it really meant that people see this as not just a good thing, but that they see this as innovative and really pushing the envelope for where kids can go."
Vanderwerff's pioneering 9 – 12 learning program, known as the "Creativity Lab", focuses on teaching students to apply STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) skills to solve real-world problems, like programming an electronic circuit.

To answer his question, Dynamo compared the hourly cost that would be determined by his method and accounting's method for two additional scenarios: one where a low-skilled worker would spend one-half of his time tending a large machine vs. one where a high-skilled worker would tend a small machine. The results appear as Scenarios C and D in Exhibit 3. A half hour of low-skilled labor operating a large machine would result in a $28.56 hourly rate under the current method, while that same situation would result in a $92 per hour rate under his—a 222 percent difference. A half hour of highly-skilled labor operating a small machine would result in an hourly cost of $38.08, while his method would measure that cost a $45 per hour—an 18 percent difference that seems small compared to the 222 percent difference, but one that could still mislead a decision maker.
Not one to jump to conclusions, Dynamo tried two more situations: one in which a two-man crew comprising a high-skill and a low-skill worker operate a small machine, and one where a high-skill worker operates a large machine (Scenarios E and F in Exhibit 3). The costs came out 37 percent lower and 44 percent higher, respectively, using his method. Dynamo knew he had a problem.
When he presented the results of his analysis to his Controller, Myopia responded, "Yeah, but your method is a lot more complicated and the auditors have already accepted the percentage of direct labor method." (Apparently, the finance department believes that the purpose of cost information is to make their job easy, not to help the company become more profitable.)
Bottom Line Impact
The value of accurate and relevant information has never been greater than in today's ultracompetitive, worldwide marketplace. The financial success of an organization is dependent upon the quality of the decisions made by its managers, and the quality of those decisions is dependent upon the quality of the information given to them as support. Although cost information as inaccurate as that generated by DMMD's accountants will negatively impact all sorts of decisions—from capital spending to vendor selection and from outsourcing to process improvement—I will focus here on one decision category: core business pricing.
The quotations that initially brought the issue to Dynamo's attention indicated that the manufacturing cost of the smaller product was $76.16 per hour and the larger one $152.32 per hour. Dynamo's more reasoned measures were $90 and $120. Undercosting the smaller product can lead the company into believing that it will make money at a price that doesn't, in reality, cover its costs. On the other hand, overcosting the larger product misleads the company into believing a very high price—probably one the market will not accept—is required to sell the job at a profit. Winning contracts at a price that won't cover all the company's costs while losing out on potentially profitable contracts whose costs were overstated by a dysfunctional costing model, is not a formula for financial success.
A manufacturer who fails to segregate those indirect and support costs driven by the operation of equipment* from those driven by the work of individuals will seldom arrive at product or process costs that reflect economic reality. Although it may not remedy all of a manufacturer's costing issues, accurately linking costs to both the work of production workers and the operation of equipment and then assigning those costs to jobs, products or contracts based on separate labor and machine (or equipment/cell/line) rates will eliminate one of the most damaging features of a direct labor-based costing model.
*The concept is the same with regard to cells and lines; a cost per hour for operating the cell's or line's equipment separated from the cost of individuals working in the cell or on the line.

VC of private university arrested in Rajasthan for fraudVice Chancellor of a private university here was arrested for allegedly cheating students by enrolling them into an unregistered course and duping them of lakhs of rupees, police said.
Dhuli Chand Singhania, Vice Chancellor of Singhania University, was arrested on Saturday for enrolling students into Bachelor of Education (BEd) course without having permission to run the course, the police said.
The university without having approval from the NCET gave admission to students against 100 vacancies in 2008-09 academic session, and charged about one lakh rupees from each student, Hajari lal, SHO of Buhana Police station said.
An FIR was lodged against Singhania on September 14 last year by Vijay Pal Yadav who alleged that Singhania and other officials assured him that the university has approval for the course but later came to know that they had no permission.
The VC was arrested after charges were found true in the investigation conducted by police, he said.
However, the university has now got NCET approval for the 2009-10 academic session, but students who were enrolled last year were duped by the university, he said.
My Study for the Growth of Singhania University -Dr. Sohan Raj Tater, Pro Vice ChancellorDr. Sohan Raj Tater
Pro Vice Chancellor ,Singhania University
This is my privilege to have fruitful dialogue on 22 February, 2009
with respected D.C. Singhania Sahib, Chancellor and founder of Singhania
University. At the first instance, I was very much impressed with his grand
personality. During meeting with him, I felt as I am sharing my ideas with
my elder brother. I found him a man of high ideals and follower of moral
and ethical values. I realized depth of experience and height of knowledge in
him. During my half an hour discourse with him I got directions to develop
Singhania University in five aspects :
(i) Growth of Science and Technology faculty of University.
(ii) To meet out challenges being faced by Singhania University
emerging in near future.
(iii) To establish faith of Singhania University in the hearts of
people among near vicinity.
(iv) Exchange of students and faculties with foreign universities.
(v) To impart quality education so that placement of students may
be secured.
Singhania University is situated in a pollution free campus away from
the city crowd. It is in a very peaceful environment where students can attain
concentration of mind very easily without more efforts for their studies. On
that day I was introduced by skillful Registrar with all Deans and HODS of
all the faculties of our University. I was paid respect by all, so I felt that I am
moving around in my home i.e. I felt quite homely atmosphere in whole of
University. Looking to loyalty of faculty members I realised all growth
potentialities in our University. I found that management of this University
believes in "Honesty is the best policy" and whole environment of
University is framed with policy of honesty.
Cultivation of Education Environment
The Singhania University consists of four faculties viz., Engineering,
Management, Bio-Technology and Allied Health Sciences. The University
provides continuous education beginning from KG in school to higher
education, under one roof. This is main plus point of this University.
Parents need not to bother for their children to shift from primary to
secondary to U.G. to P.G. and finally for Research education. Singhania
University offers world-class infrastructure, highly qualified and dedicated
faculties and excellent environment for academic and intellectual growth.
We are to raise quality of higher education. It should be easily accessible to
one and all. In my opinion following moral and ethical values should be
cultivated among management, faculties, students and non-teaching staff to
make Singhania University an example of excellence comparable to the best
in the world .
(i) Cultivation of faith in success of Singhania University
We people associated with management of Sighania University must
have deep routed faith that our University is pioneer in near vicinity and in
future coming days it will achieve place of excellence in the world. The
foundation of this University is laid by visionary honourable D.C. Singhania
sahib with the inspiration of his noble and pious mother for noble cause. So
for noble cause it will always go on growing. At every time and on every
occasion we should go on feeding in subconscious minds of all members
of Singhania University family that this University is yours. You are
family members of this University. All of us should always have faith in
success of Singhania University.
(ii) Cultivation of Discipline
Management should never compromise in the matter of discipline.
Discipline must be soul of our University. We should never tolerate
indiscipline at any level at any cost. Faculty members and students must be
given training of being well disciplined regarding punctuality of time, study
hours, behaviour with fellow persons and preparation of prescribed study
course. At every time we should inculcate feelings of discipline among each
and every member of this University.
(iii) Inculcation of Devotion
We should create environment of devotion in each and every member
of University. Top management officials themselves must be well devoted to
Singhania University. The person who is devoted to his profession
definitely get success. During study hours the feeling of deep rooted
devotion to their career must be inculcated among students. Faculty
members must also by fully devoted in their excellent level of teaching.
(iv) Inspiration of Dedication
It is told by prominent Jainacharya Tulsi that :
University is a temple, teachers are its worshippers, students are
its devotees and knowledge is their God. Each and every member of
University must be dedicated to Singhania University. We are to nurture and
cultivate young minds in the pursuit of devotion. Devotion to this university
must be deep rooted in the mind of each and every member of this
(v) Development of feelings of concentration of mind
Success of student depends upon studying with full concentration of
one s mind. We should teach lesson to our students : Play while play, read
while read, rest while rest. Students should have an art of concentration of
mind. We should call some expert time to time to demonstrate our students
the ways of achieving concentration of mind. Our students and faculty
members must live a disciplined scheduled life in University campus to
achieve concentration of mind. Emotions of each member of University
must be controlled.
(vi) Skillful Management
Management part of University must be quite active. We should be
punctual in providing all infrastructure facilities needed for creating
education environment in Singhania University. There should be frequent
supervision of all arrangements made with respect to infrastructure available
in our University. Management should listen the legitimate problems of
students, faculty members and non-teaching staff and should find out and
give solutions at once. This will create a good impression in the minds of
students and their parents. This way students and their parents will be
attracted to get admission in our University.
(vii) Providing Justice for all
Management should work with a open mind. There should be no
partiality in the minds of management officials for anybody. Each and every
member of Singhania University must be equal in their minds. We should
listen request made by any member of Singhania University and try to give
him adequate justice. There should not be any partiality with anyone. All
should be treated equal with the eye of justice. Justice will make Singhania
University family an unique family. Justice to all will cultivate moral and
ethical values-faith, discipline, devotion and dedication among every
member of our University.
My Contribution to University as Vice Chancellor
During my visit on 22 February 2009 to Singhania University I was

Review of Targets and achievements with bottlenecks
The goal of Singhania university is to make its students global citizens
on completion of their higher education. The University imparts
employment oriented and value based education. The main objective of
department is to provide training and placement to technical/nontechnical/
skilled/semi skilled or non skilled persons in reputed organizations
in India and abroad. University is running job oriented courses through
which placement of students is quite secured. The faculty is fully committed
to impart quality education by investing all its skill and knowledge. Special
emphasis is laid on communication skills and personality development. Due
emphasis on ethical and moral values through broad based management
We are to decide targets and achievements for each and every
department. Certain performas and formats are to be designed and served to
each department indicating their targets and achievements. Departments are
supposed to fill up those formats and submit to Chancellor
monthly/quarterly/half yearly/yearly as per requirement to review the targets
and achievements in presence of all Deans/HODS/ with bottlenecks. Each and every bottleneck is to be pin pointed and removed with no time. Cent percent targets must be achieved for the growth of Singhania University.
To make higher education accessible to poor people university is
initiating novel schemes of scholarships to meritorious students and loan
facility. Students should be either as self-employed or are well equipped and
trained to get employment globally. Singhania University is to provide such
education as may suit the emerging employment opportunities globally.
The ultimate target of Singhania University should be that after taking
quality and value based education from this University he should get
placement globally. Then the environment will be created in near vicinity
that to get admission in this University means sure to get placement. I wish
all success and highest growth of Singhania University around world. I hope
it should earn name and fame in coming days.

Chancellors MessageIn today's world, globalization is rapidly increasing, bringing with it expanded personal mobility; access to knowledge across borders; increased demand for higher education, growing worldwide investment; and increased needs continuing education. The twenty first century undoubtedly belongs to the men and women of strength and excellence in professional fields.
I staunchly believe that freedom of individual development is the basis of democracy. Intellectual progress demands the maintenance of spirit of free enquiry. The pursuit & practice of truth regardless of consequences should be only ambition of universities. All education is expected to be liberal. Education, one of the human resource development strategy, is a powerful tool for peaceful social transformation and for overall development and prosperity of any nation. It should be free from shackles of ignorance, prejudice and unfounded belief. Education is an important index of human development. Higher Education is indeed a vital tool for intellectual, cultural, aesthetic development and a means for achieving wider social aspirations. The responsibility of Universities in the context of changing scenario is not only confined to imparting education but also to forecast the future needs of economy. The National Knowledge Commission has also stressed that there is an urgent need for massive expansion in the field of higher education because the proportion of our population, in the relevant age group, that enters the world of higher education, is about 7% only, while in developed countries it is upto 85% and at the same time, it is important to raise quality of higher education. Keeping in view contemporary needs, also that higher education should be accessible to one and all. Education is the fundamental mechanism for social inclusion, growth through the creation of more opportunities.
We at Singhania University are committed to achieve these many objectives by making it an example of excellence comparable to the best in the world. To make higher education accessible to poor people we are initiating novel schemes of scholarships to meritorious students and loan facilities.
Deeply inspired by my mother to contribute towards the progress and prosperity of the coming generations, the Singhania University, Pacheri Bari has been established to nurture and cultivate young minds in the pursuit of knowledge. Committed to excellence, we seek to educate our students to be responsible, forward looking and creative citizens of the world. They should start earning while learning and soon after completing their studies, they should be able to employ themselves gainfully either as self-employed or are well equipped and trained to get employment globally. The curriculum and practical training in the campus, therefore, always keep in view the emerging global opportunities in business and employment. Shortly, when service sector is also opened up by WTO, movements of service providers from one country to another country shall become almost free. Due to negative growth population in developed countries, demand for educated professionals is increasing day by day and our goal is to provide such education as may suit the emerging employment opportunities globally. We, being a University Campus, have got the freedom to design our courses and practical training in a way that would enable the students to get gainfully employed not only in India but globally.
The University offers a unique academic environment of continuous influence and interaction considered essential for the enrichment of mind and the body with the maximum of speed and minimum of cost. Enthusiastic efforts of the students, dedication of the faculty and active co-operation of the parents is making our movement towards excellence and innovation smooth and speedy. The University shall always endeavor to emerge as an excellent launching ground for success, helping students to reach the pinnacle of glory in the rapidly developing world. Our goal is to make our students global citizens on completion of their higher education capable of establishing themselves in any part of the world to lead a happy & prosperous life.
May God be with us in all our endeavours.

PAWAN KUMAR Vs THE STATE OF HARYANA and OTHERSCivil Writ Petition No.11175 of 2009
DATE OF DECISION: July 29, 2009
Pawan Kumar .....Petitioner
The State of Haryana and others ....Respondents
1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement?
2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?
3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
Mr.Anurag Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioner.
Petitioner, who is working as Lecturer in Electronics Engineering, has approached this court seeking direction for the respondents to grant him permission for acquiring higher qualification of M.Tech (Part-time), which has been refused.
Initially appointed as Workshop Instructor, the petitioner acquired qualification of B.Tech after grant of proper sanction for doing this course under the sponsorship to undergo long term training. It is thereafter that the petitioner was promoted as Lecturer.
On 28.5.2006, the petitioner was given permission for acquiring higher qualification of M.Tech from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College. He, however, could not pursue the course because of some family circumstances. He again applied for permission for doing this course at Singhania University. Respondent No.2, however, declined approval on the ground that Singhania University had not been approved by All India Council of Technical Education (for short AICTE ). Without awaiting for permission, the petitioner seems to have obtained admission during August, 2008 subject to grant of permission. In response to the query made by the petitioner on the asking of respondents, Singhania University has informed that it does
not require approval of AICTE. Ultimately, after exchange of correspondence, the prayer of the petitioner has been rejected on 2.6.2009. The petitioner has, thus, challenged this rejection through the present writ petition.
At the very outset, the counsel was asked to satisfy the court whether the issue raised by him in the petition would be justiciable. The counsel is also required to address the court if he has any right legal or constitutional to acquire higher qualification which if denied can be enforced through writ petition. Even after taking time, he petitioner could not make any argument that he has any legal right, the enforcement of which he could seek through writ court. The counsel, however, makes some reference to the Rules. and certain administrative instructions issued pursuant thereto, to say that these can be enforced through the present writ petition. The administrative instructions or any administrative manual cannot have any statutory
force which could be enforced through a writ petition. In exercise of its power of judicial review, the courts cannot interfere with matter of policy. The court cannot even interfere with legislative or executive policies so long as no provision of the Constitution is violated by the action taken. Since the petitioner has not been able to show if he would have a right or fundamental right to pursue his higher studies, the denial thereof may not be amenable to writ jurisdiction. Otherwise also, there is no arbitrariness in the action as the rejection is primarily on the ground that the University from where the petitioner wants to acquire his higher qualification is not recognised by AICTE. There is, thus, no ground made out to interfere in exercise of writ jurisdiction.

In its annual "Best States for Business" report, Forbes has ranked Arizona first in the nation in terms of projected employment. Specifically, the report notes that Arizona is expected to have the fastest job growth at 3 percent annually over the next five years, according to Moody's Analytics.
"This report reinforces Arizona's commitment, as a right-to-work state, to business growth and success, and validates the work we have done to make the Arizona Comeback a reality," said Governor Brewer. "Arizonans who lived and breathed the Great Recession appreciate the great strides we've made these past four years. Now, thanks to conservative policies – including sweeping tax reforms and sales tax simplification – a quality workforce and a pro-business approach to government, Arizona is a nationally-recognized economic success story.
In its report, Forbes looks at 35 factors to determine the best and worst states for expected job growth. Arizona's expected 3 percent job gains are projected to boost household incomes 3.6 percent annually through 2017, ranking Arizona second best in terms of household income, according to Moody's. Additionally, the forecast predicts Arizona's future economic growth to expand at a U.S.-best, 4.6% annually. The report attributes Arizona's ranking primarily to successes in business attraction – including GoDaddy and General Motors – and a large educated workforce.
Since taking office in 2009, Governor Brewer has brought Arizona from one of the bleakest economies to one of the most thriving. Whether stopping government from imposing needless rules and regulations on businesses, lowering taxes on corporate income, capital gains and commercial property, or simplifying the state sales tax code, Governor Brewer has steadfastly promoted and respected the role of the free market in economic recovery. This Forbes report is the latest in a string of publications that recognize Arizona as a premier location for business growth.
"As we celebrate this news, we must continue to be mindful that our work is not finished. Unemployment remains an issue and, as Arizona knows better than most, the economy is ever-unpredictable. But this announcement is further recognition of our tough budget decisions and the pro-growth climate we've created since 2009. So long as we stay the responsible course, remain fiscally-disciplined and avoid our past mistakes of high taxes, excessive regulation and wasteful spending, we have every reason to be optimistic about our state's economic future."

I've been stuck in a rut. A demonic black and red rut.
Starting today, I'm doing a rainbow avatar challenge.
April 10 is red
I went for an underworld beach theme... because I wanted to avoid doing lolita or straight up demonic. I'm not trying to match these avatars, rather, theme to the colours. I'd rather avoid going that route. So if I can avoid, when I make a Green avatar, using forest themes, that'd be excellent ^__^
April 11 is orange
I wanted to avoid fire, but the background felt warm, and the flames worked well with this background. I have very few orange items, and I'm attempting to use only items I own, plus a couple of gold shop basics if needed. I quite like this one.
April 12 is Yellow
I really like the face on this one. I quite love how it turned out, it's so bright and sunshiny! I also found out we have very few yellow backgrounds, there was a nice one but I don't own it. The flow of the yellow sashes and headbands really made me happy biggrin
April 13 is green
Green was the hardest one I had to do. I have so few green things, and I wanted to avoid the obvious greenery theme. I was happy with the result, although I didn't try with this one, it was a modification of one I used already.
April 14 is blue
This one was trickier than I'd have imagined, too. I ended up using some mint green in it, however I liked the combination with the fishy wings.
April 15 is purple
I ended up spending some of my savings to buy the hair, eyeshadow and skirt for this, but I really liked the result. I tried to avoid using black with it, but that proved almost impossible with my current inventory. And I say, why let a rule get in the way of good creativity! I liked the curve of the hair and dress, and I totally did not know I owned those sleeves in the Nightmare!
April 16 is pink
I really struggled with this. So much. I have a fair few pink items, but none of them work well together. It has made me quite dislike using the colour, to be honest.
The face on this is meant to look a little disdainful, she's not happy with me for making her look like this.
April 17 is grey

View from the Tank: UP IN THE AIR (2009)
Every time there's a scene in a movie where someone runs through an airport, driven by love, I cringe a little. There's a scene like that in UP IN THE AIR, which is a fine movie, but not a great one.
The film is about Ryan Bingham (Clooney), who works for a company that contracts to handle firing employees for employers. Bingham flies around the country to different companies, firing individuals, handing them a glossy packet "that contains the answers to all of [their] questions," and delivering a speech about how everyone who has ever built an empire once sat in the position the person being fired finds himself in. Bingham delivers motivational speeches in various hotel ballrooms about the virtues of living with a metaphorical "empty backpack" -- free of attachments, long-term commitments, etc. All so much dead weight that ties one down -- harbingers of stagnation and death. Bingham loves the regular and standardized comforts of airports, airport hotels, airport lounges, rental cars, etc., and his life goals include reaching a certain astronomical number of frequent-flyer miles.
Bingham's way of life is threatened by two women. His beloved business-class nomadism is threatened when his company hires a young go-getter, Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick), who proposes eliminating the face-to-face method of terminating employees and instead using something like Skype to terminate employees by webcam. And Bingham's "empty backpack" philosophy is threatened when he begins to develop feelings for a fellow corporate road warrior he meets in a airport-hotel lounge, Alex (Vera Farmiga).
A lot has been made about how timely this movie is, how tapped into the current Zeitgeist. There's some of that, sure. And the initial interviews with real-life laid-off people helps bring the pain of the last year and a half vividly to the screen. But there's something glib about the movie's attempt to tap into the pain of the recession. The final interviews suggest that getting laid off is okay, because it helps you realize what's truly important: family, the little things, etc. That may be true, but one wonders how the laid-off feel as the unemployment checks come to an end, as the house is foreclosed, etc. It's just a little too easy for the filmmakers to suggest that, hey, these laid-off people are going to be okay, they've rediscovered their love for their spouses, kids, and pets, etc.
For the most part, UP IN THE AIR does not dwell on those issues -- though it does suggest that the consequences of being laid off can indeed be terrible. But the ending interviews with the non-actors felt a little too pat, and I felt like the filmmakers were, in a way, letting themselves, and the audience, off the hook, by assuring us that these real individuals, whose pain we were contemplating as we sipped our Sprites and munched on our Gummi Bears, had found something deeper and more significant than their former jobs. It all came off as a bit glib.
As did a lot of this movie, which was, undoubtedly, well acted, well edited, and well written. It was a pretty good movie, a fine, mildly intelligent entertainment. It just wasn't a great movie. For the most part, it was predictable and unsurprising. Its main saving grace was a bravely ambiguous ending.
Part of my problem with the movie is that I have a hard time feeling sorry for George Clooney -- and we are supposed to feel, at certain points in this movie, sorry for his character, Ryan. It just doesn't work. Despite the comic antics and grimaces he's picked up from his Coen brothers work, Clooney somehow always ends up playing himself. He's always the same smooth-talking slick guy looking sharp in his suit, whether in MICHAEL CLAYTON, OCEAN'S 11, or UP IN THE AIR. (He did bravely shed his hunkiness and get fat for his relatively minor role in GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK. And I should note that I haven't seen SYRIANA.) I have a hard time worrying for him, or feeling that things are not going to work out for him -- because he's George Clooney, and things will always work out for him. So, even during the darkest parts of this movie, I had a hard time sympathizing with Bingham, even though the movie was trying to get me to.
Clooney's a fine actor -- but I feel that he still hasn't been pushed out of a standard comfort zone (a zone that has come to include wackiness, in films like BURN AFTER READING, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?, THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, etc.). When he's supposed to be crushed, I still end up feeling like his situation is as in INTOLERABLE CRUELTY: he's supposed to be pathetic and sad, but it's cute and funny, because it's hilarious that we're supposed to feel sorry for a purportedly heartbroken George Clooney.
My advice, George, if you're reading this, is to play a truly dark character -- an irredeemable character -- one that doesn't come out as the hero in the end despite our initial doubts (as in MICHAEL CLAYTON). That would be something to see.
