I feel we need buttons on the blog with little Union Jack and Stars and Stripes flags so curmudgeons like me don't have to put up with 'center' every other word. It is annoying and patronising enough to be using a 'Media Center' PC when if I was living in France I would be catered for in my own language.
Still cometh the hour, cometh the linguistic hegemony. I was speaking to some twit on the phone who in an English accent proclaimed he was from office dee-poa. I had to ask him to spell it as I had no idea what he was talking about. Aha. Office Depot I corrected him. What if I spoke to him in Welsh and he insisted in speaking in American because that's what his boss wants ? We wouldn't get anywhere.
Still, when in Rome – and we British Greeks are in the bloody Roman Empire whether we like it or not.
As Obama didn't quite say 'veni vidi PC'.
So Harriet will now get an "Excuse me please" as the dagger is driven deep between her shoulder-blades by McBride-trained Brown-coloured goons. Isn't that so much nicer ? Thank you.

The Link Between Trauma and Happiness
Dr. Michelle Golland: Everything must be balanced by something else -- even happiness. Shadow and light, sweet and salty, good and bad, joy and pain. Our lives are filled and defined by paradoxes, an awe-inspiring ebb and flow through triumph and tragedy and back again. Nobody asks to have her world rocked by tragedy, but for many, these earthshaking moments often bring the surprising gift of clarity.
Two tragic events helped define my sense of self, my relationship with my husband and children and my life's purpose. First, my husband, Michael, was hit by a truck while he was taking a walk during a family vacation. He lay in a coma for five long days. This event occurred when our son, Asher, was just 9 months old. During those days in the ICU waiting room, I found an inner strength I'd had no idea was deep within my soul. Fortunately, my husband survived, which was truly a miracle. Then, one year to the day after Michael was hit by that truck, we found ourselves at the funeral of our second child, Ozzie, who died of a rare genetic disorder at 26 weeks in utero. That profound loss has shaped me in a way that is beyond words.
I have always believed that Michael's accident needed to happen in order for me to be able to cope with the loss of Ozzie. I do not believe I would have been able to deal with that tragedy without the spiritual beliefs that came out of Michael's accident. Both events made me a better wife, mother and person. What they instilled inside of me was an immense amount of empathy and gratitude. The survival of Michael emboldened us to live deeper and love stronger. It also gave me a sense of strength and a belief in myself that enabled me to live my life with very little fear. I stopped fearing people's reactions to me, my thoughts, my beliefs. I stopped fearing that I had no purpose beyond motherhood. I got in touch with a deep desire to work with people in a therapy practice and use my writing as a way to express myself to others. In some way, those events pulled back the gauzy film of an illusional life to reveal to me that we are all connected in this incredibly amazing, joyful and painful life; that we all have hopes, fears and desires that are deep within us; and that sometimes, a crack in our lives allows these to be released and actualized in ways beyond imagination.
So what is it about times of tragic hell -- such as coping with cancer, a hurricane destroying your home, the loss of a spouse or child -- that they become a catalyst for positive change? How do we fold those horrific stories into our lives without them hindering us emotionally in the process? Why do some people grow from tragedies, while others are totally destroyed by them? How do those who have experienced pain feel they have been transformed by it?
Some people who have survived intense emotional or physical pain seem to feel that their lives have transcended the ordinary and have allowed them to touch something that is otherworldly, giving them a sense of a profound awakening and depth in their life's journey that they are not sure would have occurred had the painful tragedy not occurred as well. Those who weather the storm of adversity show us that the real key to a happy and meaningful life is not that everything is perfect, but that it's all in how we handle the unanticipated shocks. For those people, the dark side of happiness is seeing these moments as times of triumph and examples of strength or faith.
Living a meaningful life blends satisfaction with a profound and deep human connection, which sometimes can only be gained through very intense moments. To have a full life, we need compassion, clarity, wisdom, insight and creativity. I often explain to my clients that emotional growing pains hurt physically. To feel the depth of one's pain requires us to face our darkest selves and then come out on the other side into the richness of our light.
I don't believe that one needs to experience a major trauma to grow emotionally. My hope is that we can all shred the gauzy film of our illusions and realize that life is really about the love we give to ourselves and to others. I think that a traumatic moment rips down that shroud so quickly that if we're lucky enough to see what's behind it, we are forever changed for the good.
Rich Tedeschi, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, says that the feeling of transformation following a life-altering event is in some ways typical. He has studied people who have endured extreme events like combat, violent crime or sudden serious illness and has coined the term "post-traumatic growth." His studies show that most feel dazed and anxious in the immediate aftermath of the difficult event. Many are preoccupied with the idea that their lives have been destroyed, and some are haunted by memory problems, anxiety issues and may experience post-traumatic stress disorder. Rich Tedeschi and other psychologists have also discovered that many people feel that their lives became richer and more gratifying after a traumatic event.

La Brea Bakery
Award-Winning La Brea Bakery to Present Artisan Appetizers at the St. Louis Food and Wine Experience Jan. 29 - 31, 2010
The annual event will showcase La Brea Bakery's new Antipasto Breads, already a favorite of Schnucks shoppers
ST. LOUIS – La Brea Bakery, in partnership with Schnucks, will present ArtisanAppetizers at the St. Louis Food and Wine Experience to benefit the Repertory Theatre on Jan. 29 - 31 at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel. Event attendees will have the opportunity to taste Artisan Appetizers such as Crostini with Aged Goat Cheese, Walnut Oil, and Fresh Thyme and Three Cheese Sliders.
In October, La Brea Bakery introduced their new, proprietary Antipasto Bread and Artisan Appetizers to rave reviews from 4,000 culinary industry leaders at the American Wine and Food Festival in Los Angeles. Since then, Schnucks customers have been just as enthusiastic about the new dining and entertaining concept.
Available in two versatile varieties Rustic Italian and Roasted Garlic, Antipasto Bread is the first national artisan bread specially designed for preparing delicious and simple Artisan Appetizer recipes.

It's ideal for anyone who likes to experiment in the kitchen, but wants any guess work taken out of the equation," said Sigalle Feig, director of brand development for La Brea Bakery. "La Brea Bakery is committed to providing consumers with easy ways to go from home chef to star chef and Antipasto Bread specially crafted for Artisan Appetizers is the answer."
Schnucks shoppers may have already seen La Brea Bakery's online advertising for Antipasto Breads and Artisan Appetizers. Ads began to appear on websites such as The Food Network, Rachael Ray, and Lifetime Television in November. On their own website, La Brea Bakery offers a selection from over 100 Artisan Appetizer recipes intended to 'Empower the Home Chef.' After all, Antipasto Bread is specially designed to be topped, toasted, grilled, baked, broiled, melted, pressed, sprinkled and seared.
Schnucks has been a valued partner of La Brea Bakery for the past ten years. In addition to Antipasto Bread, 100 of Schnucks stores carry La Brea Bakery's renowned artisan breads in the in-store bakery.

If the Gang of Eight's plan in implemented as it is written it just a revised writing of what happened in the past and they are hoping we will have forgotten history.

This tinker toy activity encourages team-building skills such as cooperation, creativity, problem solving and networking. Divide the participants up into two groups and separate the groups from each other. Instruct each group to build one-half of a bridge with tinker toys. Bring the two teams together and have them connect their halves to form one bridge. The individuals on each team must learn to cooperate and work together to create a finished working structure.
Tinker Toy Activities for Team Building
Tinker toys are a trademarked brand of children's building toys produced by the Hasbro Company. These toys consist of wooden and plastic objects such as wheels, sticks, tubes, flags, couplings and pulleys. Use tinker toys in the classroom or workplace to teach team-building skills to students and employees. Team members will receive firsthand experience with skills such as communication, listening, creativity, cooperation, networking and leadership, as well as the importance of using these skills in the real-world classroom, workplace and family.
Build a Bridge
Line of Communication
Individuals learn the importance of listening and following the directions of their supervisor in this team-building activity. In order to be successful, each member must complete his or her tasks in a quick and orderly manner. Assign titles such as client, wholesaler, buyer and builder to each team member. The client looks at a constructed model and must explain to the wholesaler what the project looks like and what parts the team will need. The wholesaler must gather the needed parts and explain the project to the buyer. The buyer must transport the parts to the builder and explain how they fit together. The builder then assembles the parts. Reveal the model and compare it to the assembled piece. The group was successful if their piece matches the model.
Blind Fold Building
Teams learn of the importance of communication, listening skills and leadership when they participate in this activity. Each team nominates a leader. All team members except the leader put on a blind fold. The leader looks at an object constructed from tinker toys. The leader must direct the blindfolded team members to recreate the object with loose tinker toys. The team members must listen intently to the leader's instructions to be successful.
Architects and Builders
Students or employees learn the value and importance of each team member during this activity. Split the group into two equal teams. Separate the teams in different rooms. The members of the first team are the architects and must build a structure with the tinker toys. Each team member from team one meets with a member of team two to interview them about the structure. The members from team two must share what they learned from their various interviews in order to recreate the structure. Have the teams compare their structures at the end of the activity and share what they learned.

WTF Wednesday: Imaginary Cities Show Us The Coolest Instrument Ever
Welcome to another edition of WTF Wednesday, where bands tell us what the f**k they're looking at online. This week, we hit up Imaginary Cities, who shared with us their affinity for unconventional performance spaces and even more unconventional instruments.
The Canadian band, who recently dropped the LP Temporary Residents, swung by OMA HQ to bestow upon us pretty much the coolest instrument we have ever seen: Teletron, a mind-controlled synthesizer created by the band Apples In Stereo. They also showed us Black Cab Sessions with Brian Wilson — in which the Beach Boy sang in a cab — but nothing up in that joint was controlled by brain waves, so we weren't as interested.

WGNA Countryfest 2011 Welcoming Sunny Sweeney [VIDEO]
The big day is approaching fast. Of course I mean WGNA Countryfest 2011, Saturday July 9. One of the great singers you'll see is Sunny Sweeney.
The big day is approaching fast. Of course I mean WGNA Countryfest 2011, Saturday July 9. One of the great singers you'll see is Sunny Sweeney.
We will be hooking our awesome listeners up with 107 pairs of tickets to WGNA Countryfest 2011 on July 9th at the Altamont Fairgrounds!
Sunny Sweeney is building a high profile country music career very quickly, in large part because of her singing and songwriting ability with a great personality to match.
Country 107.7,WGNA-FM's Countryfest 2011 is approaching fast. The show is July 9th at the Altamont Fairgrounds. Brett Eldregde is one of the stars on the show this year, and he is a funny guy.
Trisha Yearwood, Josh Turner, Blake Shelton have been the stellar country music headliners at WGNA Countryfest during my time here at the radio station.
Sunny Sweeney came roaring out of the gates with her first big country hit "From A Table Away", and now she's back with a better new song.
As we get set for a huge WGNA Countryfest 2011on July 9th, I thought I would take a look back at Countryfest 2001. Its hard to believe it was 10 long years ago.
I remember when Miranda Lambert's first single came out. Do you?
Sunny Sweeney is a very talented young lady and records her music on Republic Nashville Records. Her first national debut was the smash hit "From A Table Away".
Mike Eli is a talented singer with a voice that makes you listen. He sound a lot like a gritty Vince Gill. The last time I saw Mike and the Eli Young Band he had just closed on a house in Texas.
Sunny Sweeney has actually been putting out music with a distribution deal on Big Machine Records for quite some time. She will be worth a good watch at WGNA Countryfest 2011.
WGNA announced our Countryfest 2011 lineup this morning and it is 6 deep. In order of of performance we will have Joanna Smith, Brett Eldredge,Sunny Sweeney, Chris Cagle, Randy Houser and Miranda Lambert.

Roasted Strawberries: 5 Swoon-Worthy Dessert Recipes
Slowly but surely, strawberries are making their way up into the markets in Seattle. And this is a very happy occurrence, indeed. I'm always torn because I love eating them raw with my morning yogurt or sliced in the afternoon as a snack, but I've started roasting them instead. This, my friends, opens up a whole new world.
Roasting strawberries at a high temperature draws out their natural juices and sugars, leaving the softest, sweetest berries you'll ever taste. It's actually a great thing to do if you have loads of strawberries that are starting to reach their prime, but no immediate plans for what to do with them.
Roasted strawberries are wonderful as is, spooned into plain yogurt in the morning, or mixed into a basic oatmeal. I've also been known to fold them into a simple muffin batter for special spring muffins. But when it comes right down to it, I think roasted strawberries deserve a proper place at the dessert table. Here are a few delicious places to begin:
• Roasted Strawberry and Coconut Milk Popsicles - The Year in Food
• Roasted Strawberry Napolean - Martha Stewart
• Roasted Strawberry, Brie, and Chocolate Grilled Cheese - How Sweet It Is
• Roasted Strawberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream - Sprouted Kitchen
• Cornmeal Cake with Roasted Strawberries and Buttermilk Ice Cream - Dearest Nature

that sounds yummy! can you roast frozen strawberries?
@amendelblatt I have actually never done them with frozen berries, and I do think they wouldn't turn out quite the same due to the differing moisture levels. Anyone else tried it?
I love strawberries roasted with a little Grand Marnier (or orange juice), and then piled s'mores style onto a graham cracker and chocolate chips. It's a great way to perk up not quite as flavorful strawberries too!
Our favorite June dessert? Roasted Strawberry Sundaes, of course!
Just want to give props for a gorgeous photo. I love that you can see the steam rising off the strawberries!
Yum, :9 I just made the Roasted Strawberry, Brie, and Chocolate Grilled Cheese. But I used nutella instead of pieces of chocolate. I highly recommend it.
I love roasted strawberries on pavlovas. Just beautiful and delicious.
I just tried two batches side-by-side, fresh and frozen. The fresh berries worked as expected. I started the frozen (whole) berries in the oven just the same as the fresh, but removed them from the pan when they looked caramelized enough. A bit of thin liquid (water, strawberry juice) did remain in the bottom of the pan, so I just reduced it on the stove and then added the it to the finished berries. Voila!

It's a boy! Lauryn Hill gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Saturday, but it wasn't as smooth sailing as one would hope. Rumors have been circulating as to whether or not Hill's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Rohan Marley (son of Bob Marley), is actually the father of this baby, but all those baby-daddy questions were put aside when a complication occurred in the delivery room. While giving birth, the little boy came out of the womb with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, but luckily both mother and baby are alright. A source stated, ""Mother and baby are fine...Everyone is happy.""
Now that the scare is over I'm sure Rohan will go back to the big question: is the child in fact his? In a Twitter exchange with a reporter Marley was asked, ""So we are clear. 1.) You're not married to your ex-wife or Lauryn, and 2.) She isn't preggo w/your child, but someone else's?"" Rohan responded saying, ""That is correct until I say out of my mouth to the contrary."" Hill claims that the baby is definitely his. The couple already have five children together and if this child ends up really being Marley's then this will be his eighth kid since he also has two children from a previous relationship. Like father, like son I suppose.

Thanks to quatermain for finding the best way to compile against the iPhone 2.X SDKs on Snow Leopard:
So, it's been reported extensively on Twitter that the iPhone SDK package for Snow Leopard only includes SDKs for OS 3.0. This causes some problems because the SDK you build with inserts a key into your Info.plist which tells the device/store what SDK you're targetting. This isn't modified by the 'iPhone OS Deployment Target' build setting, and causes the Store to limit which devices you can install the app on, and causes the device to use 3.0-specific behaviours. This means that you WILL need to tweak coordinates and offsets to match the differences for OS 3.0, while apps build with, say, the 2.0 SDK will cause the device to emulate the behaviour of UIKit on 2.0.
There have been a few attempts to define how to make it work, but ultimately these may only work for Device SDKs, not Simulator ones. And even so, these still fall afoul of the 'DTSDKName=iphoneos3.0' setting created by the target SDK, so you still won't get 2.x behaviour or be able to install on 2.x devices via the App Store.
So, after a LOT of fiddling, I have discovered the following:
- In the Snow Leopard OS 3.0 SDKs, you have the path usr/gcc/i686-apple-darwin10, which is symlinked to usr/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9.
- When building things which use <stdarg.h> and similar compiler-dependent things, the system will look inside gcc/[arch]-[vendor]-[osversion]/include for the compiler-dependent versions of those headers.
- On Leopard (and for the iPhone, which is based on Leopard) this looked in usr/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/include.
- On Snow Leopard, the current system is Darwin version 10, so it will look in usr/gcc/i686-apple-darwin10/include. Hence the symlink.
- Therefore to get the older SDKs building properly (by getting access to those compiler-specific headers) you need to create the darwin10 symlink.
To do this, you basically do the following commands:
> cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator2.2.1.sdk/usr/lib/gcc
> sudo ln -s i686-apple-darwin9 i686-apple-darwin10
Now, unless you manually set a specific compiler in your build settings, the default when using the 2.x iPhone SDKs will be gcc 4.0.1, which works fine now. If you want to use gcc 4.2.1, you'll need to copy
[OS3SDK]/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1into the same places in your 2.x SDKs.
If that sounds a little fiddly, then hang in there. I'll be distributing an app to do all that for you in a little while.

So glad that this has finally happened.
So glad that this has finally happened.
Definitely agree. One of my most anticipated acts of this year.
Definitely one of the less offensive KROQ-type acts on here. Hit-or-miss live, they were really fun when I saw them in 2011 and then they were boring as hell half a year later. I'll catch this if nothing else is going on.
It's about damn time!
I've seen them 3 times now and they do not disappoint. You do not want to miss them.
Never Knows Best.
They were a good time at the KROQ Red Bull session a few months ago. Definitely going to catch them.
9/10 Swans @ Roxy, 9/17 Karen O at Masonic Lodge, 9/19 Tokimonsta @ El Rey, 9/20 Chvrches @ Tower Theatre, 9/30 Cibo Matto @ the Roxy, 10/3-4 Desert Stars, 10/9 Zola Jesus @ El Rey, 10/16 Massive Attack @ Greek Theater, 10/22-25 CMJ, 10/26 Asobi Seksu & Slowdive @ Royale
Could they be in a Foals-esque slot, closing a stage? Their light show is not a necessity compared to some other acts, but it definitely adds to the pulsing dance tunes.
I'd say they'll be in a tent? What does everyone else think? Lorde back to back with Naked and Famous would be awesome (just because).
Loved them at the wiltern a few years ago. Girlfriend is making me watch them. Not upset at all
They should be in the Mojave, late afternoon, early evening.

Looking forward to what these guys have done with themselves over the last few years. Haven't seen them since a small club night gig back in 2009!
I only watched their set from the webcast, but they sounded phenomenal. Really pumped to see it live at weekend 2. The best audio from the main stage that I've heard all weekend.
Coachella 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2, 13.2, 14.2, 15.2
Outside Lands 10, 11, 13, 14
I agree. I only expected to watch them for a few minutes, but ended up watching the whole thing.
Never listened to this band before but they sounded amazing live. Wish I had seen more than a couple songs.
9/25 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, 9/27 How to Dress Well, 9/28 The War on Drugs, 10/1 Jenny Lewis, 10/3 & 10/5 ACL W1, 10/10 CHVRCHES, 10/11 Spoon, 10/12 ACL W2, 10/13 Paul McCartney, 10/16 Rodrigo y Gabriela, 10/18 twenty one pilots, 10/19 Erasure, 11/4 Manchester Orchestra, 11/7 Rufus Wainwright, 11/7-11/9 FFF Fest, 11/12 Tedeschi Trucks Band, 11/19 Chrissie Hynde, 11/23 Caribou, 12/14 Fleetwood Mac, 12/19 The Black Keys + St. Vincent
I really dug the streaming. They got bumped to a must-see for me.
The first time I saw them was when they played a 40 min set at the SB Bowl and it was pretty boring, but this time they were really fucking good and I'm glad they got moved to Sunday

They were my sleeper hit of the year. I had no idea who they were and got dragged to their set, ended up being one of the more memorable acts I saw. And it doesn't hurt that the lead singer is just ridiculously pretty, and seemed like a real sweetheart on top of it.
Best set of the weekend.
They were so great. And long overdue.
Loved them!
Saw them from far away as Blood Orange was ending, I definitely enjoyed the bit of their set I saw. Probably wouldn't see them on their own, but a festival setting is perfect for them.

And least we not forget the Bengals #1 overal selection this year in Dre Kirkpatrick. While an injury has hindered his development as a rookie, his talents and resume at Alabama speak for themselves, and he'll be welcome addition to a secondary that has improved, but between injuries and old age, Kirk will get plenty of playing time as the season progresses. Just look at the last two corners the Bengals drafted in the first round in Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph. If he comes anywhere close to the production they've had over their careers, Bengaldom will be very pleased with the addition of Captain Kirk.

The announcement that Pope Benedict XVI will resign the papacy on Feb. 28 gives rise to hopes among liberal and progressive elements of the Catholic Church that the next pope will be more receptive to change.
VATICAN CITY — Supporters of liberal reform in the Catholic Church said on Monday they hoped Pope Benedict's successor would give a greater voice to women and reconsider rules on priestly celibacy, women priests and same-sex couples.
Benedict, who, like his predecessor John Paul, firmly opposed the ordination of women priests and described gay marriage as a threat to humanity's future, said on Monday he would resign at the end of February, announcing the first papal abdication in 700 years.
The Women's Ordination Conference, an advocate group for female priests, said the church was crying out for a leader who would give women a greater role in decision-making.
"The current system remains an 'old boys club' and does not allow for women's voices to participate in the decision of the next leader of our Church," said conference director Erin Saiz Hanna.
"The people of the church are desperate for a leader who will be open to dialogue, and will have the courage to create systems that will address the sexism, exclusion, and abuse in our church," she said.
The women's conference said it respected Benedict's decision to resign and was concerned for his health, but it said the 85-year-old pontiff had taken what it called "significant steps backwards" for women during his papacy.
Last year, the pope restated the Catholic Church's ban on women priests and said he would not tolerate disobedience by clerics on fundamental teachings.
Under his leadership, the Vatican cracked down on advocates of female ordination, disciplining Austrian priest Father Helmut Schueller for challenging views on women priests and dismissing American priest Father Ray Bourgeois for similar activism.
The Vatican says women cannot be ordained priests because Jesus Christ willingly chose only men as his apostles.
Advocates of a female priesthood reject this position, saying Jesus was merely conforming to the customs of his times.
The Vatican reprimanded a U.S. Catholic nuns group, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, last year for promoting "radical feminist themes" and expressing positions on political issues that it said differed at times from views held by American bishops.
Liberal groups said that it was time to broaden discussions in the church and share power more widely.
"The Roman Catholic Church needs a pope who does not always decide everything by himself alone," said the Austrian movement We Are Church, adding that the next pope should give more responsibilities to local churches and bishops.
The group called for "the full recognition" of same-sex couples, the relaxation of celibacy rules and allowing women and lay Catholics to hold more positions in the Church.

Thread: Clara?
May 11th, 2014 07:47 AM #6
Clara is lovely, she seriously feels very Victorian to me. I see ribbons, curls and lace. I am considering using Clara to honour a good friend whose middle name is Clare. I agree with you, association are just that, people will form their own opinions when they meet a person with the name. It's just so beautiful. One of my friends is a massive Doctor Who fan (I never watched it,) but I've never heard her refer to a Clara, so I am a little ignorant. If anything I think of The Nutcracker way before I think of Doctor Who. If you love it, definitely consider using it.

Most names are also the name of a character in something who some people, somewhere, will associate the name with (does that sentence make sense?). Clara is not an uncommon name so it definitely wouldn't seem as though you were naming her after the Clara in Doctor Who. I think it would be different if it were a really uncommon name where people only had the character association.
Clara is a lovely name, beautifully simple, classic, elegant.

Love Clara. Has been one of my favourite names ever since I was a kid. It's super popular in Germany so I probably won't use it as first name. I love Doctor Who and right now Clara Oswald is my first association, simply because I don't know any myself (I met some but I don't know any good enough to really have them as my association).
@handsallover, I'm interested what you don't like about the meaning of Clara?Polly

Agriculture, economic growth and regional disparities in India
AbstractThis paper investigates the process of convergence and catching-up among major Indian states during 1980/81–2004/05—a period of economic liberalisation and accelerated economic growth, and also analyses the factors that enhance economic growth and lead states towards an identical steady state. In particular, we examine the role of agricultural conditions in this process. Results indicate absolute divergence in income levels across states. However, after controlling for structural characteristics of states there is a strong tendency of convergence among states. Physical infrastructure and human capital are found to enhance economic growth, but alone are not sufficient for convergence. For convergence, the investment in physical infrastructure and human resources should be accompanied by a reduction in employment pressure on agriculture by improving labour market linkages of agriculture with non‐agricultural sectors, and by promoting growth‐enhancing labour‐intensive agricultural technologies.
