The whole world – such as it is – shudders. The nauseating sky catches fire as the white-hot mushroom cloud rises. An empire-to-be dies.
Not my fault, I hasten to add. I hitched a ride with some people who were fighting to save their world from extra-dimensional alien incursions – and it looks like they just succeeded, in quite spectacular fashion. I would have been there to lend a hand for that final battle, but that's just not my style, or my objective.
Now that I'm here, well clear of the blast radius of the alien central complex, I can now confirm that my readings are correct – I have found something quite remarkable, and if it is intact, and functional, it will change everything for me.
I had expected my "secret adventures" to be more… adventurous, but so far, most of what I've been doing is "information mining"; finding sources of information, cultivating them, verifying what I learn – severing ties with those who let me down, sometimes quite aggressively, if betrayal is involved – and one "thread" has been more fruitful than any other so far. Today, I may just be about to demistify a mystery: the fate of the Nemesis.
"The Nemesis was a transdimensional 'submersible'", my source informed me. "A craft designed to operate mainly in interdimensional space, with only a small portion of its hull – the 'fin' – ever emerging into the reality it was visiting. However, the vessel disappeared on launch, and has not been heard from since. My… connection has spent a lot of money in the attempt to locate and recover the Nemesis – too much, it seems, now that he has been forced to sell me all his research in an attempt to at least break even. Research I am now prepared to sell on to you – now, am I going to break even on the deal…?"
Money is no problem, as the fellow quickly found out, but I was… cautious in the matter of payment, not wanting word to get around that the mysterious "Agent Red" might be an "easy mark" with money to throw about. The information now seems to have been worth every penny, now that I have had other sources pursue various individual leads separately, and all of them have pointed to this place. A foul, alien wasteland crawling with all manners of bizarre beings, previously desperate to expand into adjacent universes and now just desperate to survive the gradual collapse of their native reality, courtesy of those who just blew their master complex to sub-atomic ruins…
It's not the most healthy place to be, requiring a sealed environment suit such as my form-fitting multiflex enhanced armour, but if the worst comes to the worst, I can always activate my personal dimension-jump, a technology the victorious humans could only have dreamed… of…
The device is dead. Power is feeding into it, but it's unable to get a lock on any neighbouring realities. Destroying the alien jump-portal has done more than isolate the aliens in their own realm – it's disrupted the local spatial fabric, trapping me here, too.
"Wonderful", I sigh against the inside of my armour's mask. It's now even more imperative that I locate the Nemesis, access its computers and get its dimension-spanning technology up and running. I had hoped to find and secure the ship, then return with an engineering team to power up the vessel and get it flying again, ideally as a mobile base of operations, but getting home will suit me fine. Failing in my objective may be expensive, if things work out badly, but nothing is worth more than my own hide…
…nothing, except for the one my whole universe has come to orbit around. Now that I'm… mortal again, I have the luxury of being able to feel again, and the feeling that drives me more than any other is love. The love I have for Mane-of-Night, a love I have chosen to earn all over again – she doesn't need me to be a "god" once more, but she deserves everything I can be, and from my time as an Overlord, I know just what that "everything" is.
More than any mere mortal can ever offer.
I find some high ground, and take some readings. Dust from the mushroom cloud is thick in the air, limiting visibility to only a few feet at best, and so my armour's instruments will have to be my eyes. Thankfully, those are still working, and show me the way to the energy source that, according to the information I've collected, has to be the energetic signature of the Nemesis. The power-core appears to be intact, and cycling normally, which suggests the vessel as a whole is… well, whole. Score one in the Glitterthorn column.
I work my way down into a valley, and skirt around the most dense, and most toxic mists gathered at the bottom, where all manner of mutated creatures dwell, now thrown into utter chaos by the destruction of the central intelligence that motivates them all. Now and again, something rises out of the fog; strange, bony creatures, like a body stripped of flesh and then enclosed in some kind of putrid leathery hide; massive, bulky entities, part living creature, part tank, flailing around in confusion – without their "over-mind", they are merely puppets with tangled strings, but even they, with only their drastically limited core intellects remaining, must surely know that the end is approaching. Their world is dying, and there is nothing they can do to survive it, let alone prevent it.
This doesn't, for one moment, mean that they are harmless. If they sense something… I suppose you have to say "alien", they will pursue, and attack without mercy. Instinct remains, fully intact, and to destroy that which is not of their mutated flesh is all they have left now.
I have got to learn how to dimension-leap by magic, I tell myself. I'm supposed to be Mystalornan now, so it should be fairly straightforward. I'm just too accustomed to just thinking, and stuff happens.
My time as an Overlord has certainly expanded my mind, but it has also "blunted" me, forcing me to relearn the mortal way to compensate for no longer having god-like abilities. That's what my current activities were supposed to do, but I'm already in the deep end, and I've only just started learning to swim. I have, however, come too far to start sinking now.
I get clear of the valley, and in the shelter of some rocks, I scan for more readings. Again, the power-core of the Nemesis sings out loud and strong; I have to hope that the aliens have not attempted to strip the ship down, or reverse-engineer its technology – but then, why would they? Their world is built according to bio-mechanical principles, every device an organism, every organism potentially a device, so a purely mechanical construct may not even count as technology to them. The Nemesis may just be a foreign body to them, an insignificant speck of grit in the organic machine…
"Grit in an oyster produces a pearl", I recall. "Gods, that would be a worst-case scenario…"
Pressing onward, I find a flat-topped mountain looming out of the thinning dust-clouds; possibly an extinct volcano – it's hard to believe such a thing could exist in a world where the only rivers run searing hot with lava – and the closer I get to the Nemesis power signature, the greater its elevation becomes. The vessel is somewhere on, or in, that mountain, and a climb would be in order, were my suit not equipped with flight systems, but I'd prefer to keep that for an emergency, for the few locals that are able to fly are sure to count an unfamiliar flyer as an outsider, and I want to avoid a fight for now.
The area around the mountain is devoid of what this universe counts as life, I find, but I still exercise ample caution. It doesn't hurt to save energy wherever you can, especially when your situation isn't entirely under your control.
Despite all my training, and all I have experienced, a trickle of dread still runs through me as I begin my climb. It was as a place much like this that my whole world changed forever – a rite of passage on my home-world, a climb to retrieve some rare eggs that went wrong… fatally, or so it should have been, but for the intervention of Vaarla, agent of Overlord Sinn; Vaarla got herself an apprentice, and I got my life back…
My existence seems to be going in circles: here I am again, climbing as though my life depended on it, and my future is dominated by a strong-willed woman with a love for black vinyl and high heels…
I'm better equipped this time, better physically, and more confident, but I proceed with care. I haven't got too far to go – there's a crack in the mountainside someway above me, and from that protrudes the slender forward hull of something not native to this reality; the Nemesis, apparently intact.
Cross Item 1 off the list: Locate the Nemesis. Now, let's ascertain what condition she's in.
With suns constantly overhead, shining weakly through ever-present heavy cloud, it's very hard to measure the passage of time without constantly referring to my suit's internal chronometer, but within what I'm guessing is about an hour, I'm at the foot of the crevice. Looking up at the underside of the Nemesis, I can see that she's come to rest at a steep slope, tail up, her horizontal rear "fins" stopping her from plunging to the desert floor below. Not an ideal situation, but better than it could have been. I'll take what I'm given, and be thankful.
Next on the agenda: find out whether all this research has been worth the price I paid.
I open a comm-channel to the Nemesis. I send the access codes I've purchased…
"Please input voice-code for final verification…"
Excellent. The ship is still "awake". "Override Authorisation Lemon-Eight-Five Stockholm-Six-One Amethyst-Two-Two", I respond. "User Code Volgograd."
There are a string of soft beeps, indicating that the vessel's systems are processing the data. Processing, and making ready to acknowledge me as their new master…
"Codes verified. Good afternoon, User Volgograd – how can I help you today?"
I'm in. "Scan for life-form presence near the forward section, and open the nearest available access port. I'm coming aboard."
A section of hull above my head changes colour, and retracts into the body of the ship. I don't enter immediately, in case there is something unpleasant in residence, something that doesn't show up on normal sensors. To make sure I won't be stumbling into a menagerie of madness, I check beforehand, with the enquiry "Nemesis, is any movement being registered on board, apart from necessary equipment in operation?"
"Negative – no unauthorised activity detected", the computers report. Oh well – no sense on postponing the inevitable…
I step underneath the opening, and a narrow loop of metal tube descends, wide enough to stand on, which is exactly what I do. The loop then retracts back inside the ship, stopping when the bottom of the loop reaches the same level as the floor of the passage within, and continuing all the way up into the ceiling once I am standing clear of the conveyance. The interior is as dark and ominous as the outside world, with only hip-height strip-lights providing the barest minimum of illumination, but my suit's visual enhancement systems can more than make up for the shortfall, boosting what light there is, and expanding my vision to include a variety of wavelengths the unaided eye simply cannot see. Once my mask has adjusted to compensate, I can see what the state of play is…
The vessel's interior shows no sign of damage, either from onboard technical catastrophe or hostile incursion, but there is an unusual amount of dust that I stir up as I venture deeper into the ship's interior. I have a very bad feeling I know what this material is, but it will be important to know for certain, so I ask the uncomfortable question. "Nemesis, what is the nature of this dust I'm encountering?"
"Organic material, dissociated by exposure to interspatial energies not anticipated in the original design of this vessel", the ship replies. "Origin of residue: original crew of this vessel."
The crew burned, in simpler terms. Just as I'd expected. "Can this shortcoming be eliminated?", I ask. "Is it possible to prepare this vessel for safe operation by an organic crew?"
"Adjustments have been made", the computers inform me. "Full protection can only be confirmed by way of full exposure to interdimensional space. System advisory: user Volgograd to continue using protective equipment until full test sequence is completed."
I can live with that – if I can't, then… I won't be doing much more living anyway. "Is the vessel ready for launch?"
"Negative. Structural integrity is at one hundred per cent. Please note: integral systems are insufficient to bring vessels to flight readiness. Assistance from User Volgograd will be required."
Sounds like good news. "Only one person will be required?"
My greatest fear was that any maintenance would need more than one pair of hands, but that nightmare scenario has thankfully not become reality. I can get out of here, and salvage the Nemesis – a "win-win" situation for which I am most definitely grateful.
And so, to work…
To be continued…

So I have to relocate for work after they suddenly decided to close the location in my state. About 2 years ago I purchased my first home, and now I'm entirely freaking out. We have had the house up for about 3 weeks now with one open house and zero offers. I'm moving almost 3000 miles away (NY to AZ) and I have no desire to be a long-distance landlord, and I won't be able to afford rent on top of a mortgage.
What happens when you need to move and can't keep a house but it doesn't sell? How terrible is a foreclosure on my record if I can't continue to pay mortgage and rent? I don't think I'll be buying another house anytime soon, honestly I miss having a landlord to take care of problems and yardwork and such so I'm not too worried about not being able to obtain another mortgage down the road. What options besides renting do I have? We are having another open house on Saturday and are lowering the price again, but I need to move in just over a month and this uncertainty is killing me. Any tips would be awesome, I'm in Rochester NY. I'm kicking myself for buying in the first place, but 2 years ago my work promised they would never close the location here, so everyone felt safe. Thanks so much!

Master's Thesis
As part of the Masters in Urban Policy and Governance (MUPG), students undertake research on concerns related to the urban with the aim of producing a thesis at the end of the course. A few selected abstracts are featured below.
MSc in Urban Policy and Governance (2014-16)
Delhi's Mohalla Sabhas: Participation and Party Building Kirthi Rao
This study examines the participatory budgeting process initiated by the Aam Aadmi Party in the National Capital Territory of Delhi with its multiple turf-conscious governments, agencies and departments and seeks to use qualitative methods to trace its possible trajectories. The study finds that though the first round has already managed to put in place a coordination mechanism, it has had only an insubstantial imprint on the residents' engagement practices with local state. The limited capacity of Delhi's state government to 'move the state closer to people' is a reason but so is the output-oriented conversation that the government itself set in motion. The study argues that the process internalised a bureaucratic understanding of people as not interested in governance processes. Also, the fledgling new party itself believed it could mobilise the power of the state to establish itself as a 'solver' of governance problems and build a groundswell of support for itself and its process. While the former led to people viewing the process as a forgettable exercise linked to the budget, the latter did not work with delays due to the city's tangled governance structures leaving little to talk about. The study shows that realising the Party's vision requires much more capacity within the state to be built through negotiations with other tiers of government over time and much more support from and for the residents. Since 'being talked about' has arguably been an imperative for the two years old Party, the process could be reviewed or even suspended.
Trifurcation or Means of Appropriation? (A study of Process, Rationale and Impact of Trifurcation of Municipal Corporation of Delhi)
Apula Singh
Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was trifurcated in early 2012 by Sheila Dikshit-led Delhi government. It was argued by the state that this division of MCD would improve administrative efficiency and accessibility. This research examines the process, rationale and impact of trifurcation while tracing the evolution of the MCD, given its unique local governance structure at the intersection of three levels of government. A review of the evolution of local government in Delhi explains how ever since the constitution of the Delhi government in 1992, it has tried to appropriate the functions of MCD. The study argues that trifurcation of MCD is one such attempt to garner control over the territory of the local government and successfully create a physical distinction in their jurisdictions. The study finds that the process did not address prior inefficiencies in the system as no attempt was made to address multiplicity of agencies, nor was an attempt made towards decentralising the local government, as recommended by the 74th CAA. The focus was to create a layer of top-level executives who can assign and monitor tasks across the bureaucracy. Although it seems that management of tasks may have improved, the benefits are nullified by a severe financial crisis which is impacting the routine operations of the Corporation. Thus in this political and administrative slugfest, it is service delivery to the residents of Delhi that has been hit.
Corporatization of Bus Transport System under DIMTS Cluster Animesh Mishra
Bus transport system in Delhi has a history of involvement of private players, under the supervision of State Transport Authority. Now, it is majorly provided by DTC and private operators under DIMTS. The decision making, regulating, monitoring is done by DIMTS; which started off as a Special Purpose Vehicle and now a registered company in PPP mode. The 657 different routes in Delhi have been clustered together for better monitoring and regulating purpose.
This exploratory study aims to understand the operation of DIMTS Model along with issues and challenges faced and strategy/suggestion to mitigate the same. The first session of data collection was through interviews with bus crew, women, children, men, senior citizens. Semi-structured interviews with DIMTS planner, Chief-Road transport, AVP-Transport, GM-Transport and Senior Manager-Transport, concessioners was conducted. Empirical data collection included photographs taken during the direct and participant observation. Official documents were referred to understand the legal aspect of the model. Second session was field visit, to fill in data gaps.
Few key features of the cluster model are ITS for performance monitoring, single operator in each cluster, unified time table, pre-defined routes viability gap funding by transport department, regulatory flexibility, no penny war, gross cost model. It is evident that the current model keeps safety, reliability, and comfort as an important criteria; thus the cluster model is public centric. Some issues on matters of sustainability, safety, reliability, space constraints of parking space need fine tuning.
The suggestions have been made for the aforesaid challenges. By using carrot and stick policy i.e. incentivizing on good performance and penalizing on under delivery of services, has worked well with cluster project. Even though the bus service is provided by private players, the state is having a better control from regulatory perspective.
Process of making Development Plan and its impacts on various stakeholders (A case study of Palghar town)
Mohini Udaykumar Bhaisare
Planning process has evolved with various planning tools in a period of time which are evolved in an expectation to provide reforms to citizens and society. One such planning tools which is discussed in detail in this research is the process of making development plan of Palghar town in state of Maharashtra. Along with the development plan making process, the impact of the planning process on various stakeholders was also analyzed. The development plan process in Palghar not only had one dimension of planning, but other aspects like elites and politics were also involved in it which affects the life of the deprived stakeholders of the society. Analysis of development plan of Palghar
explained that there exist the practice of inclusion and exclusion within different types of stakeholders. As the elites and politicians had larger stake in planning, they became one such stakeholder to influence the development plan that it dominantly contains highly residential clusters, recreational centers, transportation, etc. Deprived stakeholders of slum area are proposed to get relocated to fringe area of town. Local market sellers are ordered to discontinue their livelihood activity alongside roads as they are creating traffic congestion. This vast difference of planning provisions to different types of stakeholders indicate that it still favors the powerful over the deprived, as there are returns when favoring elites and politicians.
Evaluation of 'Waste Free Jodhpur Campaign'
Akshayjyot Ratnoo
Waste Management as a practice within local urban governance has gone through many trajectories and reinventions, influenced by society and policymaking. This research is an attempt to trace how far waste management in Jodhpur city, Rajasthan, through an Extended Case Method (ECM) study. It highlights the 'Waste Free Jodhpur' campaign and it's implementation, role of authorities and perception of stakeholders. How the campaign has brought conversions in the town within its duration of 18 months has been evaluated.
Municipal Limit Extension- Case Study of Kolhapur City Avadhut Abhyankar
Municipal limit extension is a process of including the surrounding area in the municipality by merging the local bodies there, in the parent municipality. The case study of Kolhapur city and its limit extension issue describes the arguments made by surrounding villages and industrial estates and other stake-holders against the proposed limit extension and also arguments made by the stake-holders who support proposed limit extension. It also analyses the provisions in the State Municipal laws, the criteria and policies regarding the limit extension. The research is done with detailed study of the two villages out of 17 proposed for merging in the city and one industrial estate out of two. The research questions the criteria for selection of villages for merging in the Kolhapur city and also focuses on the political and economic interests of various actors involved. It advocates for a concrete policy at the state level regarding the capability criteria for parent municipality, the criteria for village selection for merging in the city. It also comments on the changing nature of the villages due to proximity of city and the need for time bound decisions regarding the future of such highly urbanised boundary villages.
Suggestions to improve the implementation of urban infrastructure projects under UIDSSMT, Anantapuram water supply project.
Ranga Naresh Gurram
In India, small and medium cities are facing more challenges and issues than larger cities. Fewer projects are completed within the stipulated time. The government's scheme and policy lacks focus on the issues related to urban infrastructure projects. At present very limited literature is available on the issues related to projects and its implementation. The study was conducted to understand challenges faced by small and medium urban local governments while implementing urban infrastructure projects through a case study of Anantapuram Water Supply Project implemented under UIDSSMT through the qualitative research approach. Delays in pre-implementation phase have a chain reaction which impacts the subsequent phases and hence projects are not completed on time. Conclusion and suggestions of this study focus on improving the pre-implementation phase of the project. It may help to complete projects and deliver urban infrastructure services on time.
Disruptive transformation of the transport sector: Assessing the possibility of a car-free city
Pratibha Ruth Caleb
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its fifth assessment report, 2014, stated that the transport sector contributed to 23 per cent of the total Green House Gas (GHG) emissions of the energy sector. With the number of automobile manufacturers increasing in the Indian market and the government policies lacking in vigour towards imposing restrictions to this industry, it is crucial that India understands the importance and benefits of public transport systems that can do more for the country than what the profits of the automobile industry can do. The study thus investigates the amount of emission savings that can be achieved given a scenario where the entire fleet of private transport in the city of Mumbai is replaced by the public transport systems. Results of the study reveal that 'disruptive transformation' of the urban transport sector can compete with the car culture, thus enabling the possibility of conceptualising a new system which is beyond the car system.
An Approach to Quantify Uncertainty in Climate Change and Its Implications on Vulnerability and Resilience
Shardul Sudhirrao Manurkar
The prospect of climate change and consequent sea-level rise puts additional burden on coastal cities and infrastructure. However, uncertainty associated with rise in mean sea-level and its subjective interpretation impairs effective resource management and policy decisions. This study uses Dempster-Shafer theory of belief function to objectively quantify uncertainty associated with future sea-level rise by combining evidences from historical data and regional level future projections provided by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in The Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). Visakhapatnam, a city along the east coast of India has been used as a case study to illustrate the research. The result suggests that distribution of annual maximum sea-level at a given time in the future shifts towards right by projected values in future. This indicates that hydrological designs and flood risk assessment along the coast needs to be revised by accounting sea-level rise due to climate change. The study also provides a robust methodology to assess the vulnerability of coastal areas.
Role of Transport Infrastructure in Socio-Spatial Transformation of the City: A Case Study of Santacruz-Chembur Link Road
Ronjyoti Brahma
Infrastructural development is an indispensable aspect of the overall development of any city. Mumbai is undergoing changes with various mega-projects being implemented with the aim of making it a "world-class" . This research tries to understand the advantages and disadvantages of implementing such projects by focusing on such projects like Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) project. The research aims to understand the agendas and consequences brought about by employing the case study method. The study has collected data from primary as well as secondary sources in order to gain a full understanding of the same. The findings of this research revealed the various advantages that this project aimed at but also pointed out the lack of coordination among the various actors, neglecting many stakeholders and thus compromising on the overall sustainability of such projects. It tries to find the answer to the question "who benefits" from such projects and the gap between the plan and the implementation.
Public Private Partnership in the Road Sector in India: The Need to Safeguard Citizens' Rights?
Merlyn Mathew
The author has attempted to look at Public Private Partnership in the road sector in India and how citizens need to understand better, the governance, finance and legal aspects. The road development regime is changing from public funded projects to PPP projects in order to leverage the private sector's resource raising capacity and ensuring quality operation and maintenance during its life cycle. However, such projects are inherently risky due to long planning horizons and the technology is often not standard since multiple private players are involved. The Kolhapur Integrated Road Development Project (IDRP) is the first to have the internal roads and entry points in the city be developed as part of a PPP agreement and the violence the state has seen, as a consequence of toll collection has raised it to prominence. A handbook was drawn up by the means of which citizen advocacy groups, as representatives could understand PPP projects better. Under governance, a public interest test was studied that could help the state to consider citizen surveys for the identified projects. Under finance, the Public Sector Comparator model is explained, for the citizens to understand why an alternate method of infrastructure procurement is chosen. Under legal, the provisions of the contract document have been detailed.
CITY LINES Coexistence and Conflict:A case of the Suburban Railway System in Mumbai
Nirali Joshi
The study is set out to observe the particularly challenged disposition of the suburban railway system in Mumbai as a land bound, centrally governed and operationally exclusive movement system that is also physically, historically and (for long), functionally central to the urban experience of the city. Using a qualitative research approach that is semi-historical and semi-contemporary, the study combines secondary data resources and field level explorations to present a story of interaction between the city and a Large Technical System (LTS). It reveals in the process, a complex relationship of inter-dependence between the city and the robustness of the technical system on the one hand, and human presence and large infrastructural spaces on the other. The disregard of tandem in this has ranged in implications as immediately fatal as claiming human life on a daily basis, to a looming forecast of unsustainability and eventual collapse in the capacity of the system to further respond to urban demands. It is the same process of exploration that also unravels several localised, spatial practices of appropriation and interaction that work in real time between real human presences in infrastructural spaces. These serve to negotiate the crisis of rigid jurisdictional and physical seams when pitted within the lived experience of adjacency and co-habitation in the urban environ.
Peak Electricity Demand and Global Warming in the Residential and Industrial areas of Pune: An Extreme Value Approach.
Ayush Maheshwari
Peak electricity load during summer season has an impact on electricity infrastructure and it is expected to increase further due to global warming mainly due to air-cooling load. The present study investigates the nature of electricity demand in Pune and estimates the additional demand as a consequence of temperature rise due to the global warming using extreme value theory. The results indicate that in the areas dominated by residences, peak power demand registers an average increase of three to four percent due to global warming under The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) RCP 4.5 stabilisation scenario. The study shows that electricity demands in residential areas are highly sensitive to the higher temperature ranges while industries are independent of temperature and mainly dependent on the production. The study also provides evidence for the use of solar energy to meet the peak electricity demand and establish a scope for investigation of future peak electricity load and the load on electricity infrastructure.
From Raw Materials to Final Goods: Plastic Recycling in Small Scale Enterprise

This study looks at those aspects of plastic recycling chains – where plastics extracted from waste are converted into pellets for reuse. Its exploratory nature attempted to follow plastic as it moves through the hands of various actors of this chain, and looks at the social and economic processes it is embedded in. It is not only the process which I attempt to look at but also its geographical spread over the city. Waste of the city, is processed in the city and sold through its markets. This phenomenon is important not only because, it is in reality how a city's waste is dealt with, but also in its existence it is through this chain that resources are recovered, by tiny and small scale units, in the informal sector feeding the formal, through the work of its migrant populations, in urban settlements designated as 'slums'. This study is divided into three major parts. The first, in which I examine the details of the process of mechanical recycling of plastic; the second though which I focus on the geographical spread and its location of small scale units the city; and the third though which I probe into details of how such units are structured.
Alternate Approach For Providing Rental Housing Services: A Case Study Of Bombay Development Department Chawls
Vijay Sapkal
Housing is an essential part of any human habitat but restricting access on 'ownership' basis discourages people to live in a city. Renting would be a good option for those who can't access shelter in city. Public Rental Housing would be helpful to access adequate housing. But now we can think beyond it and experimenting with 'Third Sector Development'. In this model new actors can provide housing. It could be constructed/ managed by local communities or social landlords who are the main actors. This study is based on existing situation of Naigaon BDD chawls where the services and maintenance of building structure are self managed. We can restructure this type of model to fit 'Third Sector Housing Development', the service provider of future housing demand. The state too should promote this kind of new approach for providing social housing.
A Detailed Study of Development Control Policy -- A case of DCR 33(7) – Mumbai
CH Lavanya
With growing population and unexpected growth of cities, urban land use planning, coordination and control becomes more complicated. This calls for a more holistic and comprehensive approach to urban spatial development. Based on different studies, it has been observed that DCR's were treated as tools of planning a city in order to recuperate the quality of life of people. Cities of India ie Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kerala etc had opted for development control regulations (DCR). In this context, this research attempts to understand the nature of DCR, governance, local politics, actor's role and to which extent DCR helped in shaping the city, Mumbai. My research shows that DCR and new forms of governance are trying to plan for the city but, they are defied by local politics. As a result DCR being a planning instrument, which comes into force with an intent to regulate the city development, it has partially failed to make a profound impact of ground due to improper monitoring by government institutions and not enforcing guidelines specified in the DCR33(7).
The Politics of Planning Megaprojects: A case study of the Hyderabad Metro Rail project
Arunima Rao
My dissertation is a detailed study involving an in-depth analysis of the highly contested metro rail project- Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR). I have tried to unfold the development of the project in the capital of the newly formed state in India, Telangana, examining the planning process of the HMR project in a larger political economy context by focusing on the element of statehood (re-ignition of the Telangana State Movement-2009), the governance structures and the dynamics of power relations prevailing in the historic city. This case study throws light on the socio-spatial implications and looks at why and how particular interests get represented and how they shape the city and what happens when budding advocacy groups and local residents start contesting the state-market led megaprojects. This is an attempt to critically assess and further understand this very capacity of the state. This analysis would help in coming out with better strategies to govern the growth of metro rail development in Indian cities in the near future.

Wipeout XL (soundtrack) - 1996
Wipeout XL, or Wipeout 2097 as it was called overseas, was the second game in the Wipeout series. My roommate had gotten a Playstation and we'd spent some serious time with the original Wipeout, so when the sequel came out, he picked up a copy. Needless to say, we were pretty excited, but I don't think we were quite prepared for just how much we were going to play the game, because we played the ever living shit out of it.
In terms of touchstones, the Wipeout XL soundtrack introduced me, for all intents and purposes, to techno. From this game alone, I found: Future Sound of London, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Fluke and Underworld. It was almost like someone had decided "Let's get all the great techno artists we can and slap them on one game," and got away with it. When the soundtrack came out on a retail CD later, I was initially going to pass, but saw it had a few other people on it, including Orbital and Leftfield. From this initial springboard, I also jumped to people like Propellerheads, who were on the Wipeout 3 soundtrack, coincidentally enough.
The Wipeout franchise has, sadly, run aground. There was a PSN downloadable game, which was actually a pretty good entry, but it didn't do well enough, and last I had heard, the studio had been shuttered, as so many great videogame studios have been in recent years.
Hilariously enough, Wipeout XL also had a sponsor - RedBull. At the time, I remember thinking that RedBull was a weird name for a fictional company inside of a videogame. (Seriously, I didn't think they were real. I don't know that any of us did.) Little did I know what a force they would be in only a few years time. To me, the soundtrack reminds me that incidental music can very much affect people, and that the music people put in movies, tv, videogames, etc., should be chosen with care, but also with an intent for discovery and diversity. You never know when you could be just ahead of the curve.

It is with a sad heart that we have to report the death of Duncan Goddard this morning. Duncan followed his father Ken and brother Ian, to Borden and then became involved with the Old Boys, where he served the Association brilliantly as Dinner Secretary and as a Committee member for many years before moving to Devon. He was a terrific personality and possessed his late father's wonderful sense of humour. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
The funeral took place at Ottery St Mary church on Tuesday 20th September at 2pm.

Purposeful Bliss
Posted by L. Danielle Pipkins, B.Msc., C.H. in The Daily Blog on April 12, 2013
Do you live your life with passion? Do you live your life with purpose? Do you follow your bliss?
You know you are following your bliss when you wake up each morning with joy in your heart and when whatever you are doing feels yummy! When you stray from that path you will be in a negative mindset, you will let life get you down, and that cycle will roll with you.
You can re set yourself instantaneously by acknowledging you have slipped from your joy and decide to delve back into true life!
Let's go!

About Us
My name is Russ Garing, now + 60 years young.
I've been riding, maintaining, restoring and transporting motorcycles from teenage years till now.
Have owned most brands of bikes, as well as riding a good range of bikes of all classes
During the 90's, with a large input from an engineering friend, I built a simple motorcycle work bench under the business name of "Grand Stand Trading".
Peter Stevens purchased approximately 30 of the work benches and used it as a showroom display stand. Many are still in use today (grey coloured checker plate stand).
Watching a Foxtel show where a 65 model Harley was being restored on the Big Blue Lift, I immediately recognised how brilliant the design of the lift is.
Tracked down the manufacturer 'Dave' from Quasar in UK. In 2006 I became the Australasian Distributor for Quasar's lifts and stands.
Early years I attended various trade shows displaying the stands. As internet and online selling has taken off, along with the fact I was still working full time, I basically became a mail out business.
No longer working full time, I announced my 24/7 availability to my customer, to answer any enquiries regarding the set up and use of products I sell. I say don't wait till Monday @ 8am to call, cause I'm not a 9-5 kinda guy.
Into bike restoration, in recent years I've altered 2 x Sportsters to Cafe Racer appearance, and presently into riding/restoring the old english bikes and I'm a member of the Norton Owners Club.
Being a one man operation, I do close business several times a year while taking family breaks, or travelling our great country on my GS BMW.
I strive for the best customer service possible. To date I've had well over six thousand customers on my database, with barely an unsatisfactory outcome in any transaction.
I also use eBay where I have a top rating.
Mail out Days
Standard mail out days are; Monday, Wednesday, Friday (If falling on a Public Holiday, usually the next business day used), and most items are posted by Australia Post eParcel, with track and trace, requiring a signature on delivery. You can specify leave at premises instructions. Large/heavy items will necessitate a different carrier. International, we often use UPS for quick reliable service.

New flights to St Petersburg from Stansted
Despite the current political tensions between the UK and Russia, Pobeda Airlines, the Russian low-cost carrier and part of the Aeroflot Group, has decided to launch a new direct service to Saint Petersburg from London Stansted.
Commencing on 12 October, just a week before the Brexit deadline, the new service will connect Russia's second largest city with London's fastest growing airport four-times a week, using one of the airline's Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft.
Saint Petersburg, one of the host venues at this summer's world cup, is a port city on the Baltic Sea and considered to be the cultural capital of Russia.
The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg constitutes a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city is also home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world as well as many foreign consulates, international corporations and businesses.
One-way fares will start from £35.
Pobeda Airlines, which was founded in 2014, currently has a fleet of 22 aircraft with a further two Boeing 737-800 on order, and served nearly five million passengers in 2017 across 85 destinations in Europe, Russia and beyond.
Aboudy Nasser, London Stansted's chief commercial officer, said: "We're delighted to welcome Pobeda Airlines to London Stansted, another new airline choosing to operate to London's fastest growing airport.
"This exciting new service will provide very cost effective and convenient direct access to Saint Petersburg from Stansted for the first time. I'm sure the route will be well received with business passengers from across London and the east of England looking to access Russia's second largest city, and also prove to be very popular with leisure passengers eager to explore the culture and history of this world-renowned city."
General director for Pobeda Airlines, Andrey Kalmykov, said: "We are very pleased to launch our new service to London Stansted and connect the great city of Saint Petersburg with London, Cambridge and the wider east of England, and I'm sure our low-fares will ensure the flights enjoy strong demand from UK passengers."

Jaw TumoursA tumor is a growth caused by an overproduction of cells. A cyst is similar to a tumor, except that it is filled with fluid. Both tumors and cysts can form in the bone of the maxillofacial region, most frequently in the lower jaw bone, or mandible.Tumors are frequently benign, but can also be malignant (cancerous). Malignant bone tumors in jaw are either primary, meaning that the cancer originated there, or secondary, meaning that the cancer has metastasized, or spread to the bone of the jaw, from another area of the body. Primary bone cancer in the maxillofacial area is very rare. Malignant tumors in this region are more likely to have metastasized from elsewhere in the body.
Bone cysts and tumors very often do not have any symptoms. They are usually discovered during a routine x-ray, when a bone fracture occurs, or if they swell to a very large size. In some cases, however, they can cause bone pain.
Diagnosis: Physicians use x-rays to visualize the tumor or cyst in the jaw bone. A biopsy is often necessary to determine whether a tumor is benign or malignant.
Treatment: In some cases, benign tumors and cysts can be left untreated. However, they usually need to be closely monitored by your doctor. Cells within odontogenic cysts and tumors can occasionally become malignant. But even benign cysts and tumors can also weaken or cause damage to the surrounding bone and tissue if they continue to grow.
Benign cysts and tumors of the bone generally need to be surgically removed. Depending on the nature of the cyst or tumor, a small or a large area of bone may need to be removed. In some cases, bone reconstruction of the area may necessary. The area of the removed cyst or tumor will be monitored to make sure that it does not recur.
Treatment of malignant tumors depends on the type and stage of malignancy.

In music, all roads lead to–and from–Jimmy Iovine. The resurrection of the New Kids on the Block. The exclusive Best Buy deal for Guns N' Roses. MySpace's music venture.

One turns soft and the other turns hard even though the same thing happened to them. Same thing with trials: they can either make us hard or soft depending on how we choose to respond."

THE SUMMER OF 1999 .... was an extremely active time for the LDU and its members.
May - Students and staff worked voluntarily to complete two huge research projects on the 1999-2000 national high school debate topic on academic achievement in secondary schools - a 384 page compendium of research and arguments [Eastern Evidence Debate Handbook] and a first-ever CD-ROM [Policy Debate 2000] containing evidence, argument, instructional materials, extensive research links, and a video exhibition debate. The sale of these materials supports computer purchases to research next year's products!
May - Prof. Snider chairs the Third Annual Debate Ideafest, sponsored by the Open Society Institute in NYC, to explore and plan for the expansion of high school debating in urban centers nationwide. Other LDU students and staff judge at a NY Urban Debate League tournament and attend the annual awards banquet. Anthony Pagan, NYUDL 1998-99 Champion, announces he will attend UVM.
June - Prof. Snider and Sarah Snider both teach at the Emory National Debate Institute in Atlanta. They are joined by LDU alums Lisa Heller, Paul Kerr, and former LDU coaches John Meany and Jan Hovden.
July - LDU website [Debate Central] begins live broadcasting over the internet using RealPlayer.
August - LDU hosts 400 people at the 17th World Debate Institute held at UVM. High school and college students, coaches and faculty, policy and parliamentary debaters all join to make it a huge success. First live global broadcast of a debate using the internet. Reviews by global viewers are positive, but they complain about American accents.
August - 200th Flashpoint television show is broadcast live over the internet and is taped for viewing on Adelphia Channel 15 in Burlington. Many longtime Flashpoint panelists return to appear on the show.
August - Prof. Snider joins graduates Rae Schwartz and Justin Parmett serving as faculty at the NYUDL Refresher Workshop held at Manhattan Community College in NYC.
For several years Trinity College students have been learning, debating, and traveling with the LDU in an effort to expand debating in Vermont. The LDU has now established a formal working relationship with Joanne Farrell, Trinity faculty, to work cooperatively to enhance debate experiences for all students. The plan is to recruit 2-4 Trinity students, train them, and then have them travel with us to competitions. An argumentation teacher, Joanne plans to develop her coaching abilities and then accompanying the LDU and Trinity groups to tournaments. Thanks Joanne!

Change employee data
Within the administration of your company, employee data may need to be edited at some point. You can edit the employee's personal information, roles, department, or manager.
You can find the edit employee screen by going to 'Administration' ⇒ 'Employees' in the menu on the left, and selecting the pencil icon next to the employee in question. The following screen will appear:
Change employee data
To edit the user data of the employee, stay in this screen. Here, you can edit the following data:
- Status: Here you can see the status of the account.
- First name: Can be changed if necessary.
- Surname prefix: Can be changed if necessary.
- Surname: Can be changed if necessary.
- Date of birth: Can be changed if necessary. The calculation of senior days is based on this date, so make sure it is the correct one.
- External number: Here, you can change the employee number, if your company uses those.
- Function: You can edit the employee's function here.
- E-mail: You can edit the employee's e-mail here.
- Department: You can change the employee's department to another one that has been added to the system.
- Manager: You can change the employee's manager here. This should be done when a new employee will become a manager, or when the employee has changed departments. Select the drop-down bar to select the desired manager. Only employees with the manager role will be shown in this menu. If this person does not have a manager, he will select his or her own name. He will then take care of his own requests. For other manager options, go to the user or the manager tab.
- Authorization+ (module): Select the authorization flow that should apply to the request process of this employee. The dropdown menu will contain all authorization flows that are linked to the type of leave 'all'.
- Region: Here, you can add an employee to a different region, in case this needs to be changed. Select the option 'only use the region days' if you are not using the standard special days for this employee. If you do want these to count, including the selected region days, leave the box unchecked.
- Show in calendar: This option allows you to select which employees will be shown in the current employee's calendar. It is possible to choose between showing the employees of a certain department, all employees, or only him- or herself. Use this option when it is important for the employee to see other employees' requests in the calendar. This way, he or she can plan requests at the right moment. For some clients, this option will still be in another tab called
- Show balance in: The balance can be shown in different ways. When the setting 'standard' is used, the settings of the employment will be applied. We advise you to leave it as 'standard' so that everyone at the company will work with the same calculations.
Don't forget the click 'save' after making any changes, so that the changes can be applied.
The employment tab
Here, you can change the employment of the employee. Thus, you can change the amount of leave days the employee will get. So if the employee's contract changes, implement the changes here.
Read more about changing an employee's contract here.
The manager tab
This tab is only visible when you are editing an employee with the manager role.
When you select the 'manager' tab, the following screen will appear:
Here you can see that there are some extra options for editing the data regarding employees who are managed by this manager.
- Temporary replacement: Select another employee with a manager role if it is necessary that the user is replaced temporarily. Immediately after this option is selected, the rights of the current manager will be transferred to the selected manager. This means that the selected manager will assess the requests of the employees of the manager who is replaced. This should be used when a manager is temporarily absent, for instance during a holiday. Read more about appointing a temporary replacement, and what it entails, here.
- Mail if substituted: When you check this box, the original manager, who has temporarily gotten replaced, will also be notified via e-mail when his/her employees request leave, report sick, etc. This way, the absent manager will still be kept up to date during his/her absence.
- E-mail cc: Enter the e-mail address of someone who also has to receive e-mails of incoming requests of the employees of the manager in question.
- Making request for own employees: When you check this box, the manager will be able to request leave for his/her employees. The manager will be able to select certain employees to whom the request will apply when making a request. It is up to you to decide whether the manager will be authorized to do this.
- Can report sick: When this box is checked, the manager can report his or her employees sick. Read more about sick reports here.
The Roles tab
When you select the Roles tab, the following screen will appear:
- Roles: It is possible that an employee will switch roles. In this case, you can change the role(s) here. It is possible to give employees multiple roles. Read more about employee roles here.
The sell leave tab
This tab will only appear when you have the module for selling leave. Select who can sell leave here. The manager is selected as the default option for this.
The calendar tab
This tab will only appear when you are using the module customized calendar in this administration. Read more about using a customized calendar here.
The logbook tab
Every contractual change that has occurred will be recorded in a logbook. Thus, it is always possible to see who implemented a change, when this happened, and why. Deleted contract rules will also be recorded here. The image below shows that all contractual changes have been documented.

For the price, it serves its purpose
Love this vacuum. Saw it on a website for top best, affordable vacuums and I have not been disappointed yet!
You definitely get what you pay for. But I didn't expect this vacuum to not pick up hardly anything. It fluffed up my carpet a bit but I watched it go right over small pieces of dirt or cat hair and blow the rest behind it. Would not recommend.
it stop sucking and I cleaned it and it still would not suck up anything, and its short so if your tall you might not want to buy unless you have short kids…lol

Global Perspective
Global Perspective is the BBC World Service's international documentary series.
Each year the BBC World Service collaborates with radio stations from around the world to make a documentary series on a contemporary subject of international importance and interest.
Each partner station contributes a documentary which gives a local interpretation of the chosen theme, and this year the theme is Escape.
Programme Six: Escape to New Zealand
Warnings of climate change and economic instability are widespread in 2008.
Human influence on the global climate and the imminent likelihood of rising sea levels, droughts and widespread agricultural failure have set some Americans and Europeans on a path to find ways to escape these changes.
The dire planetary predictions have pushed them to become active environmental refugees, seeking a home on some part of the planet where the predicted global changes can, perhaps, be weathered.
In Escape to New Zealand, environmental refugees talk to presenter and producer Halina Ogonowska-Coates, for Radio New Zealand, about their personal experiences in dealing with the issues facing our planet.First broadcast on May 02 2008

Today's Fabulous Friday Female is the inspirational Martine Wright!
On July 6th 2005, Martine Wright spent the evening with friends celebrating London winning the 2012 Olympic bid, having spent the day watching huge screens waiting for the announcement to be made.
On July 7th 2005, fate brought her to the circle line tube…and the carriage that was the target of a terrorist bomb attack. Martine suffered devastating injuries in the blast, and lost both of her legs. When she speaks of her experience her overwhelming emotion is one of gratitude at how lucky she was that an off duty police officer found her and helped to save her life.
But Martine was not prepared for this to be the end of her story…in fact she was determined that some good, some hope, some inspiration would come of her situation.
She learned to fly, married her boyfriend and had her son Oscar….but it was watching the Beijing Paralympics that would change her life forever.
Martine saw the competitors giving their all, inspiring millions despite their physical challenges…and she decided that she wanted to be one of them….and that her calling was to compete in London.
She began playing sitting volleyball and immediately loved it…the sport, the camaraderie with her teammates and the characters she met on the court.
Martine wasn't sure that she would be selected for the British squad but her determination, hard work and unrelenting spirit were to be rewarded…and she will be competing along with the rest of her team in the Paralympic games here in London. Her dream has become a reality.
My words can't do the journey this incredible woman has been on justice…so I encourage you to watch this short, moving and inspiring video in which she shares her story…
…and I ask you to please join me in celebrating this incredible woman's journey, her courage, her spirit and her will to transform a tragedy into a triumph…she is a true inspiration
As you know, I would love to acknowledge, honour and celebrate the women who have inspired you as well. So if there is someone that you believe should feature as a Fabulous Friday Female, then send me an email (email@example.com) with 3 simple details:
- Who is your Fabulous Friday Female? (Her name and location in the world)
- Why is she a Fabulous Friday Female to YOU? (How do you know her? What does she do? In what way is she inspiring?)
- A photo or link to a picture of her online (if there is a reason that you would prefer not to include a photo, just let me know)
So help me to share with all of our lovely ladies the real women who inspire YOU.
…and remember, as always, to Stay Fabulous too!
