Shashi Tharoor's Oxford address revives colonial debate
NEW DELHI: Former Union minister Shashi Tharoor's spirited call at the Oxford University for reparations for losses to the Indian economy due to 200 years of British colonial rule went viral online on Wednesday and stood in sharp contrast to the July 2005 speech at the same institution of the then PM Manmohan Singh who had extolled British rule in India.
Singh had gone to Oxford to receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law and had said despite the economic impact, "It is possible to assert that India's experience with Britain had beneficial consequences… Our notions of the rule of law, of constitutional government, of free press, have all been fashioned in the crucible where an age-old civilisation met the dominant Empire of the day… all (our) great institutions, derived from British-Indian administration, have served the country well."
In his speech, Tharoor pointed out, "India's share of the world economy when Britain came to our shores was 23%. By the time the British left, it was down to less than 4%. Why? Simply due to the fact India was governed for Britain's benefit. Britain's rise in over two centuries was financed by its depredation of India."
In his 15-minute address as part of a debate on British colonialism, Tharoor argued that Britain's prosperity in the 18th and 19th century was built on resources taken from India. Britain's Industrial Revolution was based on the systematic deindustrialization of India, turning the country from an exporter to an importer of English goods.
"India was Britain's biggest cash cow, biggest consumer of British goods and provider of high incomes for British civil servants. We literally paid for our own oppression," he said.
However, Singh had argued that the British had had a positive impact. "Today, with the balance and perspective offered by the passage of time and the benefit of hindsight, it is possible for an Indian Prime Minister to assert that India's experience with Britain had its beneficial consequences too," Singh said.
In contrast, Tharoor said 15 to 29 million Indians died due starvation in famines induced by the British. He cited the example of the Great Bengal Famine during the Second World War where four million people died because Winston Churchill deliberately as a matter of policy diverted essential supplies to reserve stockpiles for British soldiers. When these deaths were brought to his notice, Churchill asked whether Gandhi had died.
Tharoor said India's contribution to Britain's First World War effort stood at eight billion pounds if computed now. Britain's Second World War debt stood three billion pounds in 1945, of which 1.25 billion pounds was owed to India. "They never paid it back," Tharoor said.
He addressed the question of the Indian Railways as legacy of British rule by saying, "Many countries built railways and roads without needing to be colonized." He said the British built the rail network for their benefit and made India bear the cost. They have a moral debt to pay, he said.

Largest whale to get beached in Maharashtra
NAVI MUMBAI: A 42 feet long blue whale was washed ashore at the Revdanda coast, which is 17 km south of Alibaug. Forest officials had reportedly contacted marine biologists after spotting it on Wednesday when it was still alive and struggling to survive.
"This big whale was first spotted on the shore on Wednesday afternoon. It was initially showing signs of life, so the villagers tried to push it back in the sea. However, the whale later died," informed a local resident.
Chief conservator of forests (mangroves cell), N Vasudevan, said: "It is unfortunate that this blue whale was stranded in the shallow sea and eventually died. The blue whales are the biggest species of earth, and can grow up to 100 feet."
Vasudevan added that the dead whale was later buried on the beach at Revdanda on Thursday. This is reportedly the biggest sized whale to have washed ashore in and around Mumbai coast in recent times. Around two months ago another dead whale was found at the Uran coast of Raigad district; while several dead dolphins were also found around the Mumbai cost in the recent past.
"Marine creatures like dolphins and whales are being regularly spotted on the shores like this due to various reasons, including sea pollution due to our industrial effluents. The latest blue whale to be found at the Raigad district shows that our waters are rich in biodiversity, and that we must take care of our environment," said activist, D Stalin.
Earlier this year, there was a wave of excitement among scientists after marine biologists from the Cetacean Population Study team had spotted live blue whales in the sea, close to the Konkan coast of Sindhudurg.
The latest dead blue whale was reportedly a young female.
Vasudevan added that way back in 1912, a blue whale and its calf had washed ashore in Ratnagiri, while in 1906, there was another dead blue whale sighting at Thane coast.
In and around the Maharashtra-Karnataka coast, we normally see Sperm whales and Bryde's whales.
Famous naturalist and broadcaster, David Attenborough, had once described these giant mammals like this:
"Blue Whale's tongue weighs as much as an elephant, its heart is the size of a car and some of its blood vessels are so wide you could swim down them. Its tail alone is the width of a small aircraft's wings. Its streamlining, close to perfection, enables it to cruise at 20 knots – one of the fastest creatures in the sea. The ocean's largest inhabitant feeds almost exclusively on one of the smallest, krill. A single whale can consume 40 million of them in a day. Despite their enormous size, we know very little about them."
Almost 20 types of whales are found in the Arabian Sea. There are two basic types of whales – toothed and baleen. Baleen whales have a specialised filter in their mouths that blocks out dirt and other sea trash while these mammals drink the water.
Blue whales and Humpback whales, which were washed ashore in and around Mumbai coast earlier, belong to the baleen whale category.

Tracking 'Make in India': 8 things to note
India's new government launched 'Make in India' as an initiative to encourage companies to manufacture products locally. It is a program designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build the best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. The government is positive on the developing contours of the Make in India program as most government ministries have aligned their goals and targets to further this mission. Here are the focus points for Make in India, according to report by Barclay's, a British bank.
Here are pointers to note:
1. Foreign direct investment: The main goal for Make in India is foreign direct investment. It aims to boost local manufacturing, technology transfer and skill development across sectors. So far, the new government has eased requirements in the construction sector, permitted 100% FDI in railways, allowed 49% on approval and above 49% on case-by-case in the defence.
2. Ease of doing business: For the economic world, the government is making efforts to reduce complexities in terms of deregulation and de-license. The BJP government aims to achieve greater transparency, rule-based processes, timely dispute resolution, single-window and simple processes for the Make in India campaign. The management has eased regulatory environment vis ebusiness, industrial licensing and compliance requirements made less stringent and self-compliance driven in heavy industries and approvals are now process driven by the environment ministry. In the commerce sector, the ministry has reduced paper work for imports and exports.
3. Quality and technology: As a part of the Make in India mission, the government plans to create eco-system for indigenous technology development. In order to achieve this, the health industry has introduced schemes with outlay of Rs 9 billion for capital goods sector for product and technology development. In the defence sector, the government intends higher domestic procurement.
4. Labour reforms: Easier scale for hiring or laying off and lower compliance burden are the goals Make in India is trying to accomplish. Despite India's overlapping outdated labour laws, the government has performed an early stab at labour reforms with amendments to laws pertaining to apprenticeship, industrial closures, and labour compliance.
5. Infrastructure: The road ministry has generated higher funding and targets allocated to roads, railway, and ports. Apart from the 100 smart city project, industrial corridors are under construction. The government strives to build transport, power infrastructure, industrial corridors and export oriented infrastructure.
6. Tax reforms: As a part of the Make in India mission, the new government aims to reduce tax litigations and unclog the complexity in the tax code and create a national market. The Finance Ministry is in full swing by reducing custom duty on a number of inputs to domestic industry like steel grade limestone, dolomite in financial 2015-16 union budget.
7. SME support: One of the Make in India program's objective is to make small and medium enterprises export-oriented by providing technology, credit and value chain support. Tax pass through for venture capital funds, proposes inclusion of lending to SMEs as priority sector lending, subsidy for installation of machinery, and 15 new technology centres are some measures the government has taken to make progress in this initiative.
8. Skill development: Skill development is one of the key objectives to achieve the Make in India mission. Skilled manpower for manufacturing and technology intensive industries are some of the goals the government wishes to attain. So far, the government has launched 'Skill India' program that envisages expansion of skill councils in partnership with India Inc and opened new higher education institutions.

Contact lenses 'alter eye bacteria'
Contact lenses may increase the risk of eye infections by altering the make-up of bacteria living on the eyeball, research has shown.
Researchers found the lenses appeared to transfer bugs from the skin to the eye, upsetting the bacterial ecosystem and triggering infections and inflammation.
Lead scientist Dr Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello, from NYU Langone Medical Centre in New York City, said: "Our research clearly shows that putting a foreign object, such as a contact lens, on the eye is not a neutral act.
"These findings should help scientists better understand the long-standing problem of why contact-lens wearers are more prone to eye infections than non-lens wearers." The researchers took hundreds of swabs of various parts of the eyes of nine contact lens wearers and 11 participants who did not wear contact lenses.
They found that in both groups the eye surface, or conjunctiva, harboured a more diverse range of bacteria than the skin directly beneath the eye.
Three times the usual proportion of three types of bugs, Methylobacterium, Lactobacillus, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas, were identified on the eyeballs of contact lens wearers.
The conjunctival "microbiome", or microbial ecosystem, of lens wearers turned out to be more like that of the skin than of the eye.
Dr Dominguez-Bello added: "What we hope our future experiments will show is whether these changes in the eye microbiome of lens wearers are due to fingers touching the eye, or from the lens's direct pressure affecting and altering the immune system in the eye and what bacteria are suppressed or are allowed to thrive."
The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in New Orleans.
Co-investigator Professor Jack Dodick, chair of opthalmology at NYU Langone, said: "There has been an increase in the prevalence of corneal ulcers following the introduction of soft contact lenses in the 1970s. A common pathogen implicated has been Pseudomonas.
"This study suggests that because the offending organisms seem to emanate from the skin, greater attention should be directed to eyelid and hand hygiene to decrease the incidence of this serious occurrence." Some 5,245 distinct bacterial strains and subtypes were identified in the eyes of lens wearers and 5,592 strains in the eyes of non-lens wearers.
Surprisingly, the research showed that more Staphylococcus bacteria – which are linked to eye infections and are more prominent on the skin – were found in the eyes of non-lens wearers. The scientists cannot yet provide an explanation for this result.

Nepal earthquake: Is India prepared?
When life meets death in the horoscope of time, the "god willing" school of philosophy emerges quickly. In the first heart-stopping minutes that followed the 7.9-magnitude earthquake that ripped through Nepal on April 25, several believers threw up their hands-both in honour and in despair-in front of the Himalayan republic's reigning deity, Lord Pashupatinath. But slowly, as the snow settles back on the Khumbu Icefall and the Indian tectonic plate resumes its ancient rhythm of subducting beneath the overriding Eurasian plate and the climbing death toll gives way to deep grief as well as deep anger, the old questions begin to loom large: how did we get here? And why weren't we ready for this?
Some say it will take decades to rebuild Nepal, especially because the amount of aid needed to do so is larger than the GDP of that country. Others, notably the non-profit organisation Geo Hazards International whose mission is to reduce earthquake risk in developing countries, points out that "a person living in Kathmandu is nine times more likely to be killed than a person living in Islamabad and about 60 times more likely than a person living in Tokyo," because of the rampant and indiscriminate construction taking place in Nepal since the last major earthquake struck the India-Nepal border in 1934. As for the "What if" question that rises, unbidden, to the throat of every Indian glued to the dance of death and destruction that plays non-stop on the TV near you, seismologists shudder as they grope for an answer.
"I cannot imagine the catastrophe if an earthquake of magnitude 6 hits Delhi," says Harsh K. Gupta, president of the International Union of Geodesy & Geophysics, pointing out that the Indian capital is located in Zone 4 (the country is divided into five seismic zones). He adds, "The vast slums and unauthorised colonies, especially around the soft Yamuna floodplain, in which lakhs of people live, will be flattened like a house of cards. The Qutab Minar can probably survive an earthquake of the magnitude of 7.0, but beyond that I don't think so."
Vineet Gahalaut, seismologist at the Hyderabad-based National Geophysical Research Institute, emits a strangled laugh. "Have you seen the balconies in the houses in Old Delhi that almost touch each other as housewives exchange kitchen recipes? If a Nepal-type earthquake hits Delhi, the streets are so narrow, you won't even be able to do search and rescue," he says. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)-set up by a government fiat in the wake of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake and the tsunami of 2004-conducted three mega drills in north India and the North-east from 2012-2014 in an effort to develop a contemporary intensity map as well as inform and educate people about the ravages of earthquakes.
Hypothetically simulating, in Chandigarh on February 13, 2013-in the middle of the night when most people are asleep-the 8.0 magnitude of the 1905 Kangra earthquake in which 20,000 people are believed to have been killed, across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh, the NDMA found that 1 million people would have died at present. The scenario-building exercise was repeated in 2014 across all eight states of the North-east, this time simulating the 1897 Assam earthquake of 8.7 magnitude in which around 1,500 people were killed. The NDMA found that if the earthquake had struck at night in 2014, at least 800,000 people would have died.
NDMA member Lt-Gen N.C. Marwah says the three mega drills (the first took place in Delhi in 2012, see box) created a great sense of awareness among the population, but admits that the national disaster management plan is still awaiting approval from the Prime Minister's Office. Asked about the vulnerability assessments of Delhi, or other towns falling in the highest-risk zones 4 and 5, Marwah says the NDMA doesn't have the authority to carry out any of these studies, as it is the states that must implement them. "We can only issue guidelines on how to make India disaster-resilient, and yes, the NDMA is a toothless tiger", he adds.
Rohit Jigyasu, head of the risk preparedness committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites, believes the NDMA guidelines need to be simpler and allow greater use of indigenous technology and construction techniques, for instance in Kashmir, where buildings are commonly constructed from wood.
"The NDMA has no guidelines for cultural heritage. For example, there are absolutely no risk management plans for Qutab Minar, which will unlikely survive a Nepal-magnitude quake," Jigyasu says. "In fact, NDMA and cultural organisations such as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have no contact at all. In case of a disaster, who does the ASI call?"
The NDMA passes the buck to the state governments, but no state has a comprehensive disaster management plan, says Ravi Sinha of IIT-Bombay, who helped write a risk report for Mumbai. The National Institute of Disaster Management restricts itself to policy planning and general awareness-type exercises, while the India Meteorological Division's micro-zoning of Delhi and the Ministry of Earth Sciences' (MoES) ongoing micro-zoning exercises of 30 cities is limited to topographical surveys. The incredible truth is that not one of these agencies has any information about the state of preparedness in any part of the country, both rural and urban.
And so it took a passionate professor from the department of earthquake engineering at IIT-Roorkee to blow the lid off the bureaucratic stranglehold at the MoES, which in September 2014 stopped funding a 10-year-long IIT project gathering data on structural responses to earthquakes from 293 strong ground motion instruments placed at key positions along the Himalayas.
Exactly a month before the Nepal quake, on March 26, Ashok Kumar of IIT-Roorkee wrote to MoES,complaining that the ministry had unilaterally shut down the sensor project because it wanted to give it to the ministry-controlled National Centre for Seismology.
Thakur added, presciently, "Our country will cut a very sorry face if a big earthquake event occurs, as in the present stage of instrumentation we may not get any strong motion record."
So as scientists all over the country logged in after the quake to look at data, they found there was none. IIT-Roorkee had been told to shut down its project but the new ministry-controlled seismology centre had not taken over yet.
Defending his ministry's decision, MoES Secretary Shailesh Naik told India Today that the IIT project had gone on for 10 years and it was high time it was integrated into a permanent network. Naik said. "I am not a lawyer that I should check whether integration was done before or after." Naik said he was sure that at least "one or two" stations would have still recorded the Nepal earthquake "as their battery life is one year." He has now ordered a team to be sent to all stations to find out. In any case, he added, data from all 64 seismometers in the Himalayas (there are 82 all over the country) had already been released.
Meanwhile in Shimla, where bureaucratic apathy has combined with political greed to destroy a city once known as the Queen of the hills, a 2013 disaster management plan reveals that 98 per cent of the city will either collapse or suffer substantial damage if an earthquake of 7.5 magnitude occurs. According to NDMA consultant B.K. Khanna, at least 25 per cent of Shimla's population of more than 8 lakh will be killed.
"The National Building Code is a very good one and is constantly being revised," says architect-planner AGK Menon, "but it is not mandatory. The truth is that 90 per cent of buildings in any city are built without permission."
Experts rue the fact that India is totally unprepared. "We are building more high-rises on steep inclines even in the Himalayas," says M.L. Sharma, HoD, Earthquake Engineering, IIT-Roorkee. Seismologist Gahalaut says, "Indians believe that earthquakes happen to other people."
Certainly, the lack of resources accounts for a large part of India's lack of preparedness. California's advanced ShakeAlert system gave survivors a grace period of 5-10 seconds when the 2014 Napa Valley earthquake struck. Japan's early warning systems (see box) meant that the P-waves from the 9 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sendai in 2011 gave Japan Railways about 12-22 seconds allowing the bullet trains, the Shinkansen, to grind to a halt. About 800 seismometers are operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency, while 3,600 seismic intensity meters are operated by local governments. All this information is fed into the Earthquake Phenomena Observation System in Tokyo and Osaka in real-time and disseminated. In contrast, India has placed 72 GPS instruments and 64 seismometers in the Himalayan belt.
Menon, who was involved in the redevelopment of Anjar town, flattened by the 2001 Gujarat earthquake, says, "In an effort to streamline the old town and broaden its streets, several people had been given land on the outskirts. But when I returned a few years later, I found that most people had left their new patches of land to return 'home'."
The most earthquake-prone city in India is Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram which falls in Zone 5, with Sikkim's Gangtok a close second. A GeoHazards study notes how Aizawl clings to the hillside, some of its houses 10 storeys high. "If an earthquake comes to Aizawl," says GeoHazards' South Asia representative Hari Kumar, "just the landslides will bury thousands."
The story of apathy compounded by bureaucratic indifference and political passivity is chillingly common across the national landscape. An engineer with the Delhi Development Authority recounted how, in 2005, the state government undertook a pilot project of retrofitting five key buildings in collaboration with the American donor agency USAID to make them earthquake-proof. These included the Delhi Secretariat in which the CM's office is located, the police headquarters, the GTB hospital and Ludlow Castle school.
Some admirable work was performed-the school received a seismic belt, while the Delhi Secretariat received a full dose of seismic planning. Around 2007, after a few engineers had even been to the US for training, the work abruptly stopped. Turned out the 2010 Commonwealth Games were finally awarded to Delhi, and work had to be completed on a war footing. Delhi went to sleep until the Nepal earthquake, when Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced the city needed to get its act together.
And so the wheel of life continues to turn, god willing, even as the Indian tectonic plate in the Himalayas underthrusts beneath its Eurasian counterpart, each day confirming that the arrival of the Next Big One is a day closer. But if the rising death toll from the Nepal quake has one lesson for India it is that the country must finally shed its indifference that often passes off as fatalism and relearn the value of every life. Otherwise, there could be a far stiffer price to pay for that cynical shoulder shrug.
5 ways to become a morning person
According to nutrition specialist Khushboo Thadani, a mug of hot water and lemon should be your morning elixir. "After 8 hours of going without food, this blend reduces acidity and flushes out toxins in the body," she explains.
In an alternate universe, you would wake up bright eyed and beaming, all set to kickstart your day with a morning run; then there is the actual reality of your snooze-loving, sunlight-hating self, whose mornings are rushed, fast and furious. How do you switch to the perfect world?
Vogue tells you 5 ways to become a morning person and love those early morning rays hitting your face.
1. Morning potion. According to nutrition specialist Khushboo Thadani, a mug of hot water and lemon should be your morning elixir. "After 8 hours of going without food, this blend reduces acidity and flushes out toxins in the body," she explains.
2. Really wake up. Start your day with some kind of spiritual practise—it could be anything from 10-minute breathing exercises to a calming chant that soothes your soul.
3. Boost your energy to last you through the day without feeling tired. Thadani suggests breakfast that incorporates a balance of protein, complex carbohydrates, fibre and a moderate amount of healthy fats. Try:
- Greek yogurt topped with berries, raw oats and walnuts
- Natural peanut butter on rye toast with an egg-white omelet
- Whole-wheat toast topped with avocado and 2 poached eggs
- Oatmeal sweetened with a banana and topped with toasted almond flakes
- Vegan omelet made from chickpea flour (besan) and a level tablespoon of coconut chutney
4. Sleep right. A restful night's sleep is as important as the necessary 8-hour snooze. Here are some ways to make it happen:
- Avoid drinking caffeine the previous day after 4 pm.
- Eat dinner at least 2 hours before you sleep for the sake of digestion.
- Sip on a warm cup of herbal, caffeine-free tea at night like camomile or ginseng, which, according to Thadani, are known to relax the system and reduce stress and anxiety.
- Switch off from technology at least an hour before bedtime—sounds impossible? All the more reason to follow this.
A hot shower at night will relax your muscles and get you ready for a good night's sleep.
5. Love your alarm. How? Keep the tunes of your favourite violinist as your wake-me-up tone, or a forest bird's melodious singing—whatever gets your soul alive and kicking!

"Yes I work – I'm a full time mom!"
"Yes I work – I'm a full time mom!"
There was laughter in the room and everyone thought I was funny. But I missed the humour in what I had just said, I was dead serious.
Someone asked me in a crowded party… "So, do you work?"
Without batting an eyelid I said, "Yes,as a matter of fact I do…I am a full time mom!".
There was laughter in the room and everyone thought I was funny. But I missed the humour in what I had just said, I was dead serious. Obviously, I joined the others and laughed and noticed my husband was unsure if he should smile and face my wrath back home or just sit there with a straight face while the others thought I'd said something funny.
That night, while the kids were trying to sleep and I was sitting next to them (part of our daily ritual) for an hour in the dark room, I thought about what I had said…it was meant to be a strong statement…at least I meant it to be. What was it that triggered all the nervous giggles from the other ladies aka 'working moms' and I was even more curious to find out why the men thought I was being funny?
Well it was time to find out…I used this more often and it was always the same reaction from my peers. The only ones who looked impressed were the moms who were now grandmoms but still playing mom to their grandkids…wow, these women are true achievers…raising your own kids is hard enough while you are young and strong…imagine raising them all over again when your bones are creaking and you had assumed you were free of all responsibilities.
What I do is not something that has never been done before. But in today's world it might be unique. I have to admit, it's not like I gave up a great career to be with my kids.
Maybe if I had a high-flying career l too would rather be out there in the real world than in this little world created by my kids and me….maybe. But I know one thing for sure; I would never assume that all women who were home raising kids are doing it because they aren't smart enough or because they have no choice. Of course they have a choice, life gives us plenty of choices but if we decide to hold on to something and not make that choice it's because of faith in what we do and maybe simply because we are good at what we do.
Yes, I've been jealous, watching other women making a mark for themselves, being recognized, being independent and more than anything else knowing they are important. It's hard to not be envious; it's even harder to admit it. But every time any such thought crosses my mind, I try to picture myself doing what they do and I realize, I would never be happy. For me my happiness lies elsewhere, knowing that I'm always around for my boys, knowing that I give my family all my time, not because they want me to but only because I want to! I'm at my best here…this is what I love and this is what makes me happy.
I am incapable of outsourcing my kids to nannies and daycare. I can't be working deadlines knowing my baby is sick at home and needs me more than he needs medication. I can't miss his smile when he comes home with an A in his math test. I can't accept that he has been well fed and is taking his nap without missing mommy.
It's hard for me to do those things that working moms do….they have learned to let-go and are doing their best to keep their own identity and to be good moms. Me, I have let go of my identity….my struggle is different….I am a full time mom!! While I sometimes envy, sometimes condemn and at other times wonder how these moms do it…. I wish folks out there would also envy or wonder how I do it!
One smart-ass 'working mom' said…."I can't be a full time mom watching tv all day"! Well, guess what I can't pretend to be a working mom pretending to be at work all the time but taking convenient coffee breaks, hanging out with friends, doing office lunches, going on so-called official tours in which the official bit lasts for a couple of hours and you have the rest of the 6 hours to entertain yourself.'
In reality, I do not get to watch TV…the only TV I watch is animation! I do not get coffee breaks….when I sit to drink my coffee, is when I have to go clean poop or even worse make a tower out of building blocks…big deal, I let my coffee turn into cold coffee! My only adult conversations are with my mom and with the hubby if he isn't tired after 'working' all day!
But then we all have our roles to play and this is mine…I am a full time mom and yes I 'work'…work very hard. I might not be raking in the moolah, or getting pats on my back for all that I do but then I know what I do is not something everybody can do even though everybody thinks it's simple.
Maybe, my kids might not turn out as well as the kids with moms who go to work but at least I know I tried and I did what made me and my family happy. I know that's exactly what others are in pursuit off too…their happiness and I respect that. All I ask for is the same respect, respect me for doing what makes me happy, respect me for doing wonderful things with my kids which goes unnoticed to the outside world, respect me for not trying to find my identity in the outside world but for finding it within the four walls of my home. Respect me for letting my family know they are my priority.
I am blessed to have witnessed every first movement, smile and actions of my children….I haven't had to hear it on the phone….those moments are mine to treasure. Sure most people get the re-runs when they get back home, but nothing beats the live version…the first!
So next time be kind to me, try and respect me and do not giggle when I tell you … "I work – I'm a full time mom!"

126th anniversary of the public opening of the Eiffel Tower: 6 things you didn't know about the iconic structure
Some 126 years ago, the Eiffel Tower opened its doors to the public for the first time.
The enormous metallic structure is now a globally recognised, iconic piece of architecture.
To mark the unveiling of the Tower which has become a symbol of love and Parisian elegance, Google is featuring a Doodle by illustrator Floriane Marchix on its homepage today.
In honour of the Eiffel Tower, here are six things you didn't know about it.
It's named after its engineer
Opened by French premier Pierre Tirard on 31 March 1889, the Eiffel Tower is named after civil engineer Gustave Eiffel. The feat of turning architect Stephen Sauvestre's vision into reality earned Eiffel the nickname "the magician of iron".
It's almost as tall as the Shard, which is the tallest building in the EU
The Eiffel Tower stands at 300m (984ft) high (324m if you include its antennae), while the Shard is 306m tall (1,004ft) in its entirety.
It doesn't like the cold
When it gets cold, the Tower shrinks by about six inches.
It was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years
The Chrysler Building in New York claimed its place in 1930. But it continued to be the tallest structure in France until the military transmitter in the town of Saissac was erected in 1973.
It is the most visited ticketed monument in the world
As many as 7 million people visit the Eiffel Tower a year, and almost 250 million people have visited the tower since it opened.
It was built to celebrate revolution
The Eiffel Tower may be a symbol of romance, but it was built as the main exhibit at the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair), which was held to mark the centennial of the French Revolution in 1789.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Has Russia saved the Assad regime from collapse?
15 Apr 2012 11:51 GMT | Politics, Africa, Sudan
South Sudan has denied that the disputed, oil-rich area of Heglig has been reclaimed by Sudanese forces, saying that the South's army was still in control of the town.
Sudan had earlier said that it had taken back control of the oil town, which provides half of its oil needs.
"As we speak now, the SPLA is still in full control of Heglig," Colonel Philip Aguer, South Sudan's military spokesman, said on Saturday, referring to the South's army.
Aguer said southern forces did not plan to give up the town, which lies along the ill-defined border between the two Sudans.
Dismissing Sudan's claims as "wishful thinking", Aguer said "they are trying to convince their public they are making progress".
He said Sudanese forces were still at least 30km from Heglig town.
"We are now in Heglig region a few kilometers from Heglig town and oilfield," Al-Sawarmi Khalid, Sudan's military spokesman, said, adding that fighting was continuing.
South's 'war machine'
Khalid said the Sudanese army's immediate aim was not to enter Heglig town but to destroy the South's "war machine".
Limited access to the remote border region makes it difficult to independently verify claims from both sides.
South Sudan has accused the North of carrying out airstrikes south of the border, including a strike in Bentiu in Unity state in which five civilians have reportedly been killed.
"The Sudanese Armed Forces are conducting indiscriminate air bombardment by Antonov jetfighters, indiscriminate bombing of Heglig, bombing of oil installments,'' Aguer said.
Live Box 2012412195257291332
"They tried to attack our positions around 65km north of Heglig last night but it was contained," he said.
Barnaba Marial Benjamin, the South Sudan information minister, said they had called on the UN Security Council and the African Union [AU] to step in.
They needed "to ensure Sudan ends immediately the atrocities and the senseless killings of innocent civilians", Benjamin said.
Khartoum has denied bombing Southern territory.
South Sudanese troops wrested control of the disputed Heglig oilfield from Sudan on Tuesday, prompting widespread international condemnation, including by the AU.
The UN Security Council has demanded the withdrawal of South Sudan's military forces from Heglig. It has also urged Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and his southern counterpart, Salva Kiir, to hold talks to resolve their conflicts.
The South says it will withdraw from Heglig only if the UN deploys forces to monitor a ceasefire.
Close to conflict
The fighting has brought the former civil war foes closer to a resumption of full-blown conflict than at any time since the south seceded in July under a 2005 peace accord.
Most of the oil resources ended up with the South, an outcome that struck a blow to Sudan's oil-reliant economy, which saw the cost of imports going up and a rise in inflation.
Production has stopped at Heglig oil field, which is vital to Sudan's economy as it produced about half of the country's 115,000 barrel-a-day crude oil output.
Landlocked South Sudan shut down its own output - about 350,000 barrels a day - in January after failing to agree how much it should pay to export crude via pipelines and other infrastructure in Sudan.
The crisis has all but killed hopes that the two countries will be able to reach a swift agreement on partition-related issues through AU-brokered talks.
Sudan pulled out of the negotiations after the South seized Heglig, a bone of contention for both, as the two sides have failed to resolve issues including the position of the 1,800km border, division of the national debt and status of citizens in each other's territory.
Follow our in-depth coverage of the turmoil unfolding at the border between North and South Sudan.
As Sudan is split into two, the government in the North faces growing resentment over the loss of national pride.

Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romanticsby Sasha Cagen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Featured in USA Today, Time,and on CNN and MSNBC, Quirkyaloneis an incisive, savvy, hilarious singles manifesto. A much-needed antidote to books in the tradition of The Rules, Quirkyalonehas sparked a movement for men and women of all ages who enjoy being single and don't date just for the sake of dating. Equal parts advice, cultural criticism, and pitch-perfect pop-culture references, Quirkyalonecomes to grips with some of the hardest everyday choices people have to make: Loneliness or solitude? Friendship or romantic love? Here you'll find essays, quizzes, lists (movies, songs, books), not your average relationship-book wisdom, and words from other quirkyalones. Sasha Cagen coined the term "quirkyalone" in 2000 in an article in Utne. The quirkyalone movement spread through digital word of mouth and blossomed into its own holiday on February 14. Since then, International Quirkyalone Day was celebrated in twenty-four cities, including New Delhi, Sydney, and Vancouver. Cagen's guide is the anti-relationship relationship book for the hip, smart singleton.
quirkyalonen:a person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than date for the sake of being in a couple; someone with unique traits and an optimistic spirit; a sensibility that transcends relationship status
adj:of, relating to, or embodying quirkyalones
see also:romantic, wistful, idealistic, independent
quirkyalone (kwur.kee.uh.lohn) n. adj.
A person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than date for the sake of being in a couple. With unique traits and an optimistic spirit; a sensibility that transcends relationship status. Also adj. Of, relating to, or embodying quirkyalones. See also: romantic, idealist, independent.
Are you a quirkyalone? Do you know someone who is?
Do you believe life can be prosperous and great with or without a mate?
Do you value your friendships as much as your romantic relationships?
Do gut instincts guide your most important decisions?
Are you often among the first on the dance floor?
Coupled or single, man or woman, social butterfly or shrinking violet, quirkyalones have walked among us, invisible until now. Through the coining of a new word, this tribe has been given a voice.
Meet the quirkyalones.
Read about:
The quirkyalone nation: where we live, what we do
Quirkytogethers (quirkyalones who have entered long–term relationships)
Sex and the single quirkyalone
Romantic obsession: the dark side of the quirkyalone's romantic personality
Quirkyalones throughout history (profiles in courage)

In 2011, he famously called for an exit on Treasuries.
In 2012, he called the "cult of equities dead."
In 2013, he said stocks would be low 4-5% single digit returners.
In 2011, Treasuries continued to run far higher, prompting an apology from Gross to his clients — many of whom he had taken out of Treasuries and for whom he'd caused tremendous underperformance.
In 2012 equities ran up sharply in 2012, with the S&P 500 finishing the year 13.41% higher than when it started.
In 2013, adding insult to injury, the S & P had its best year in 16 years!!!
Thanks for sharing this post +Ron Pechtimaldjian and YES....Bill is not a dummy. He's one of the smartest speakers I've ever seen....but.......... he hasn't got the best crystal-ball predictions record :-/

Logan Inn, located in beautiful New Hope, was established as an inn in 1727. Logan Inn is the oldest continuously run inn in Bucks County and one of the five oldest in the United States. An intimate luxury inn, Logan Inn has sixteen spacious guest rooms, each furnished with colonial period pieces and antiques.
Dining is available in the lovely Colonial glass enclosed porches or in the cozy Fireside Room which features an imposing stained glass wall created by local artist Val Sigstedt. In season, alfresco dining on the tented patio offers a wonderful spot for people watching, New Hope style. Stepping into the tavern, located in the oldest section of the building, is truly stepping back into time. The tavern remains open late and selections from the menu are available there. This careful blending of the old and the new has made Logan Inn one place where "the best of yesterday and today mingle beautifully."
It is John Wells who is looked upon by many people as the founder of New Hope's community. Wells was formally licensed to erect and keep a ferry by act of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania in 1722, and further licensed to keep a tavern in 1727. The result was the Ferry Tavern, which today is The Logan Inn. The Inn is a fine example of the colonial habit of wrapping additions around existing structures. The name Logan came to the Inn about 100 years after it was first licensed and after the ferry had ceased operation. Reportedly, on February 22, 1828, as part of a celebration, probably of Washington's birthday, the Ferry Tavern was renamed the Logan Inn (or House) and a metal cut-out of an Indian was installed towering above the roof of the Inn.
There are different accounts of this event – one that the Indian was Chief Logan and that the sign was paid for by a subscription of the townspeople in his honor – another that the identity of the Indian was never mentioned and that the sign was commissioned by the owners of the Inn.
We prefer the former legend which reports that a Lenni-Lenape chief, noted for his kindness and hospitality with the white settlers, developed a close friendship with James Logan, secretary to William Penn, and as a sign of admiration took Logan's name.
The cut-out remained above the Inn for 50 years and has been visible sporadically since then. Admired for it's aesthetic design and sought after by collectors, it again stands as a guardian of the town.

We had our last dinner in another classic Greek taverna, usual grub. The bigger children went off to party whilst the oldies and younger ones tried to sleep. Not very pleased with certain children who were a bit noisy on their return. Richard is going to spend the rest of his life in the ...
Last day
Skipper up bright and early a better nights sleep although a bit of swell. Sam had the bright idea of trying to rig up springs on the back of the boat to ease the motion. This was a good plan and I think made the situation better. It is now 09:00 and nobody apart from skipper is up. They will be soon The plan for the day is to take the children Halyard Jumping and have a bit of a sail for our last day. Then back to our home port for ...
... and nice beaches. We had a lovely sail in 25-30 knot winds downwind with the genoa only making a decent 6-8 knots. Another flotilla member got into trouble with a Genoa that they could not put away or deploy fully. Glad it was not us!! We arrived early and after an initial concern that we might not have enough water under our keel we were parked up with the help of other flotilla members. Assorted crew members had lots of snoozing time whilst the true adults did ...
An interesting few days
... up Claire and fixed a back slab to Richard's broken wrist.
The hospital itself was far from 20th century for example no soap in toilets. Very few supplies, needles and blood on the floor. However return we did for x-Rays the following morning.
So. In the morning we returned. No power so no x-Rays. Nobody would give us drugs. And we could not get them ...
Busy couple of days
... an ice cream. By now Skipper was very tired and needed his beauty sleep. The girls were not happy at the concept of bed time as the bigger children were off for cocktails etc. The bigger children came home later. Amazingly none of them fell off the gang plank getting on the boat. They did however wake up the smaller children. More time in the naughty tender for them......... Permission has been obtained for fender surfing and halyard jumping. More pictures later of that ...

Insert obligatory "I'm a Rails newbie" comment here.
TL;DR: Cannot .create or .new instance of a model
My basic structure is that Users are supposed to be able to have multiple notes which will have attachments handled by the "paperclip" gem. However, I can't seem to be able to actually create a note:
undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
def create
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
@note = @user.notes.create(params[:note].permit(:topic, :class, :content))
redirect_to user_path(@user)
This is coming from the Note Controller and the error occurs in the line where I use @user.notes.create. What I've boiled the problem down to is that notes is empty at the beginning and for some reason the "create" call is failing on the empty notes array. Interestingly enough, Note.new also fails with the same error if I just try to instantiate an empty note to work with.
Models for reference:
class Note < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_attached_file :content,
:storage => 's3',
:bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET'],
:path => "uploads/:attachment/:id/:styles.:extension",
:styles => {
:medium => "300x300>",
:thumb => "100x100>" },
:s3_credentials => {
:access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
:secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] },
:s3_permissions => 'public-read'
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :notes
validates_presence_of :username
validates_presence_of :email
validates_presence_of :school
validates_format_of :email, :with => /\A[-a-z0-9_+\.]+\@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z0-9] {2,4}\z/i
Let me know if any more info is needed, first time Rails user, first time Stack Exchange poster :)

2004 Nissan Quest Minivan 3.5 SE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
I have 2004 Nissan Quest, i got it from private party and being 3 owner it still run like charm. Its been almost year and i haven't had single problem. The build quality and feature makes it worth for money.
Memory seats and multiple moon roof is by favorite feature, while my daughter enjoy DVD being at driver seat i won't
enjoy that much.
Wish i would have MP3 player which is there in new models.
We bought this car new in 2004, we immediately started having problems!
Rattling back seat which was recalled and the dealers fix for this on our expensive new car was...duct tape!
Then the sliding door started rattling, the rubber strip above the side door flew off while driving.
Have replaced brakes numerous times, the front windows get stuck when it rains!, the console is made of some cheap material that doesn't wear well, the lights and vents randomly fall out of the ceiling! The timing chain guides broke and the power steering pressure hose broke and it just sucks!!! Waist of $ what a lemon!
I do love the deep well in back that is awesome for groceries and the kids like the DVD player but the car stinks!
Give us our $ back, it's a lemon, we were suckers and guiney pigs!
I owned a Nissan Quest 2004 3.5 SL that has 66,556 miles, I was very happy with this car until last September, when out of the blue my Nissan will brake down in the middle of the beltway or stall if I stopped at a red light or stop sign, the engine will die completely with no warning signs, I took this car to the dealer Passport Nissan of Alexandria VA for the 3rd time yesterday because my van keep stalling any time I drive under 5mph or brake to a stop. This after I was told for 2nd time that they fixed the problem in a message they left me saying �we were able to duplicate the problem and fixed, we had to re-program the engine idle, that is fixed we drove it many times today and definitely
sun roof, left and right sliding doors

I had 100k warranty, my odometer went down at 85,000 mile and seat heater also Nissan did not stand for this, my seat heater and odometer still not work, I will never buy any Nissan car any more, it is not only me but many of Nissan quest owner are complaining about odometer this must be an recall
The maintenance costs of a Quest are unbelievably high. It is the first car I've owned which needs a brake pad & rotor replacement every year, and new tires every year and a half. (None of previous vehicles have chewed through these like the Quest!) The car rattles, and we had to take our to the dealership for engine noise multiple times before they *finally) believed us based on a new service bulletin that went out. Too bad - it's a stylish minivan, and we had high hopes for it. It's functional for our family, but we just wish it was lower-maintenance.
SkyView windows. DVD system. Power sliding doors. Stylish design, esp. compared to other minivans.
Shaky steering wheel. Chews through brakes and tires. Faulty tire pressure gauge. Non-functioning rear-assist detector.

On CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, author Phil Kent asserted that "back in 2004, the American Civil Liberties Union, of all people, rejected some Ford and Rockefeller grants because of fear of terror links." Guest host Kitty Pilgrim did not challenge the claim. In fact, the ACLU has stated that it rejected funding from the Ford and Rockefeller foundations because their "restrictive funding agreements ... might adversely affect the civil liberties of the ACLU and other grantees."
In recent days, NBC, CNN, and Fox News have all aired reports or discussed the case of Norman Hsu, who The Wall Street Journal suggested may have funneled illegal campaign contributions to Sen. Hillary Clinton. However, when Mitt Romney's national finance committee co-chairman Alan Fabian was charged with mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice, the three networks did not report or discuss it during programs available in the Nexis database.
CNN's Christine Romans repeatedly claimed that American troop deaths in Iraq "are down this summer" and also reported that "[t]he Pentagon today is citing the surge in Iraq as a reason for a drop in troop deaths this summer." However, statistics compiled by the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count show that the 260 U.S. troop deaths in Iraq during June, July, and August 2007 make this the deadliest June-August of the Iraq war for U.S. troops.
A day after CNN's Lisa Sylvester cropped Michelle Obama's recent statement about "run[ning] your own house" to suggest that the comments were an attack on Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sylvester again failed to provide the full context of Mrs. Obama's remarks, which shows she was talking about her own family and did not refer generally or specifically to any other candidates.
Discussing President Bush's denial that the federal government has plans for a "North American Union," CNN's Suzanne Malveaux said Bush's denial followed "a lot of talk in the blogosphere and conspiracy theorists." But Malveaux did not note that CNN's own Lou Dobbs, on whose show Malveaux regularly provides news reports, has repeatedly hyped the possibility of a North American Union.
On Lou Dobbs Tonight, guest host Lisa Sylvester aired a clip of Michelle Obama saying: "Our view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House." Air America Radio host Laura Flanders later agreed that the comment "was a swipe at Hillary Clinton." Sylvester, however, did not provide Obama's full comments on the topic, in which she talked about her own family and did not refer to another candidate.
On Lou Dobbs Tonight, Lou Dobbs again tried to downplay his program's airing and affirming of a falsehood about the number of leprosy cases in the United States. Dobbs also claimed again that his airing of a May 16 report by CNN correspondent Bill Tucker "set the record straight" on the leprosy issue, but the report did not note the uncritical citation of the false statistic or Dobbs' repeated defense of it.

Migration continues to be a highly debated topic. The ever increasing flow of migrants has led to the radical review of immigration policy at national, regional and international levels. The current discourse raises concerns about the treatment of migrants and poses challenges to the realisation of freedom of movement worldwide. We therefore felt Migration and Human Rights a fitting theme for this year's conference and thought it important to examine migration within the international human rights framework.
This Conference challenged society's perception of migration and considered the realities attached to it; from the root causes to the impact on host societies. The keynote speakers and student panellists questioned what action needs to be taken at national, regional and international levels to combat discrimination and encourage the integration of migrants. What measures can be taken to secure migrants' economic, social and cultural rights? Do we need to do more to protect vulnerable migrants, including women and children? How can combatting modern slavery protect trafficked and exploited migrants?
The keynote speakers were:
Conference delegates were then able to choose to attend two of the following panels:
