Part 8 Summary
Maan Kapoor leaves Calcutta with Rasheed for a month long trip out of Brahmpur which will separate him from Saeeda Bai. His assistant, considered fairly competent, will manage his cloth business during Maan's absence. The description of the train ride to Rasheed's family home depicts the crude travel available in the country. As they see part of the Baitar Estate, Maan becomes quite excited about the possibility of seeing his friend Firoz, though Rasheed only gives him an enigmatic smile. Maan's identity as the son of the Minister of Finance comes to light and the whole question of the redistribution of land returns to the novel. The theme of a Hindu visiting in a Muslim district begins with Maan assuring Rasheed that he will behave himself while staying with his family. Maan learns to his surprise that Rasheed is married and has two small daughters. It is after Maan's first night in Rasheed's father's house that they learn he is not Muslim. The conditions at Rasheed's family home are very primitive, but Maan adapts well. A long winded visitor to Rasheed's house tells a story of true love that contrasts symbolically with the arranged marriage customs of the culture.
Maan accompanies Rasheed into the village and sees first hand how the poor live. He learns how his father refused to help an old man who eventually died from want. He sees how even families turn on each other with children refusing to help their aged parents. Rasheed says that only his father and grandfather can affect a change in this behavior. The story of Kachheru is used to emphasize this social phenomenon. There is conflict between Rasheed, who wants to do what is right in giving land to those who have worked hard for the family for years, and his father who refuses to give up any land and cares little for the people. Maan wants to write a letter to Saeeda Bai, but Rasheed does not want to write it in Urdu for his friend. Rasheed arranges to have Kachheru's small plot of land transferred to his name. The process will take several weeks.
Part 8 Analysis
The theme of caste differences is covered heavily in Part 8. The attitudes of the haves versus the have nots are clearly defined. Rasheed is a fair and honest man who wants to do what is right by people like Kechheru, but his father and grandfather want to keep them suppressed and not have to give up any land by the Zamindari Bill. Muslims are just as judgmental of Saeeda Bai as the Hindus are. Conflict is foreshadowed in Rasheed's wanting to see that Kechheru is taken care of in aftermath of the Zamindari Bill.

In 2011 I've received a Marie Curie grant and became a part of TRANSCEND project. I'm enrolled at the 4 years Engineering Doctorate (EngD) course at University of Surrey. But I carry out my research activity at Lafarge Research Centre in France.
The main goal of the EngD is to couple a 2D 1H NMR (proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) technique with temperature variation. This allows effectively freeze out larger pores and explore connectivity between the smaller pore. Thus we aim to better understand the microstructure of C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) - the main binding phase of the cement.
During nearly 4 years of the project, a number of reference SiO2 materials with known porosities were studied with coupled cryoporometry - relaxometry technique. The studies reviled a hidden pore wall - water interaction, which is very similar to the processes occurring in cements especially on a nano-scale.
2D T2-T2 (REXY) was applied to the synthesised C3S phase. The existence of complex connectivity and different rates of the water transport within the nano porosity of C3S was shown.
I expect to defend in the beginning of 2016.

Opened in 1928 by Charles Hayman, who originated as an ice merchant, which very quickly progressed into a high quality fishmonger, and we still trade from the same site today, albeit fully restored and refitted.
As natural progression moved forward so have the demands of the fishmonger, Haymans have recently moved into new purpose built premises in the heart of Oxford, which has been fitted with the very latest in fishmonger's tools and techniques, whilst keeping all the traditional values and experience of the fishmonger.
Most fresh fish offered by Haymans is taken from icy cold waters around Scotland and surrounding areas, there is hook and line fish fished for around the Southern coast, and twice weekly deliveries of exotics taken from the warm waters around Sri-lanka.
The vast majority of fish offered by Haymans are taken by traditional fishing methods, such as Ring netting, Hook and line, Hand gathering and netting.
All fish supplied by us to The Mole inn, is grade A quality fish, of which is the very highest of quality.

- Medium defenders
- Ruckmen
- Tall defenders
- Medium midfielders
- Medium forwards
- Tall forwards
- Small forwards, defenders, midfielders
Emma Quayle's guide to the 100-plus players invited to the AFL Draft Combine 2014. The draft expert looks at the tall defenders.
Logan Austin (Belconnen)
Born 8.7.1995, 194cm, 86kg
AFL biography: Developing player that has recently transitioned to centre half-back after starting as a key forward and pinch hitting ruckman. Has excellent closing speed and backs himself regularly to take the mark and win the ball back for his team. Is a good kick of the footy and generally selects the right option when rebounding from defence. Took nine marks in two games for NSW/ACT at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships
Jason Saddington, NSW/ACT Rams: "Logan's a key position player I think is best suited to defence. His closing speed is really good and he has good aerial skills. The next stage of his development would be strength in one on one contests. He's a Canberra boy, a really nice, down to earth kid who would do anything to succeed in his footy."
Keenan Ramsey (Port Adelaide)
Born 23.8.1996, 192cm, 86kg
AFL biography: Tall defender with ability to shut down his opponent while also providing good rebound. Uses the ball well by foot and wins it well in the air and at ground level. Played all six matches in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships averaging 10 disposals as South Australia's number one Tall Defender, rarely having his colours lowered.
Brenton Phillips, SANFL: "He's a beauty, a great kid. He lost an eye at an early age, he had a prosthetic eye put in after he had cancer as a young kid. He looks like an AFL footballer in the way he moves, the way he kicks, he's a good size and we played him predominantly as a defender but I've seen him go forward and be damaging down there. He's a country boy from Port Lincoln and he boards at Sacred Heart. I didn't know about the eye until he came into the squad and someone mentioned it, but you would never notice it watching him play, he's super clean with how he takes the ball."
Sam Durdin (West Adelaide)
Born 6.6.1996, 197cm, 87kg
AFL biography: Tall defender/ruckman who is strong overhead and good below his knees. Aggressive in the contest and strong one on one while displaying very good leadership traits. Played important role for South Australia in winning the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, playing all six matches averaging 10 possessions 3.3 marks and 11 hitouts.
Brenton Phillips, SANFL: "Sam finished the season off well, he was best on ground in the under-18 grand final playing in the ruck, he had something like 48 hit-outs and was the dominant big person on the ground. To me he just kept getting a little bit better every week after the championships. His start to the season was slow because of his thumb injury and he had to go into a West Adelaide side that was smashed with injury when he wasn't going at his best. He went back into the under-18s for the last four weeks and played four good finals. He's best suited to rucking, but he's not going to do that at AFL level I wouldn't have thought, so he's just going to need some more development and coaching and I have no doubt he'll be able to play well at both ends of the ground."
Nick Jackson (Aspley)
Born 16.12.1995, 195cm, 86kg
AFL biography: Strong marking tall defender who reads the play well coming off his man for intercept marks. Team oriented player who rebounds well from defence. Has shown the ability to also play forward and kick bags of goals.
Adrian Fletcher, AFL Queensland: "Nick played down back, at full-back most of the time, but he can get out to centre half-back. He has the best agility in our group by far, he can get the ball on the ground and compete aggressively in the air. He's improving his fitness and I'd put him in that running defender category."
Hugh Goddard (Geelong Falcons)
Born 24.8.1996, 196cm, 94kg
AFL biography: Versatile tall defender/forward that is strong overhead and an accurate left foot kick. Has good game sense and was a solid performer for Vic Country in six matches at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, averaging 10.2 disposals and four marks.
Michael Turner, Geelong Falcons: "Hughie's had a really busy year. He's been in the AIS-AFL Academy, at school at Melbourne Grammar, down here with us on school holidays and playing for Vic Country. He's had a lot of masters this year. I thought his form at the start of the year was average but as the year went on he started to play really well and I thought he finished the year off well for us. He played on some good players and didn't really give them a look-in. There aren't many kids his size around and there's a lot of development to go with him. He's very serious, very focused and I think he'll be able to play on the really strong key forwards. We've played him at both ends and he can certainly do that, but I see him as more of a defender than a forward now. He's very driven, he knows where he wants to go in his life and has handled some pressure this year well."
Dan Howe (Murray Bushrangers)
Born 4.12.1995, 191cm, 84kg
AFL biography: Mobile tall defender with his x-factor being his overhead marking. Takes the game on and shows initiative with his play and impressed as a 19 year old in four matches for Vic Country at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, averaging 16.5 disposals and four marks in four matches. Covers the ground with ease and can push forward when required.
Lee Fraser, Murray Bushrangers: "Dan came back as a 19-year-old this year, he's been working in Yarrawonga helping out a family law firm, and his attitude has been spot on. We played him across half back early on, and after the championships we challenged him to go into the midfield and he really did well in there. He's 191cm and 92 kilograms, so he could be the sort of tall midfielder everyone's looking for now. He's a quiet kid, but he has a real determination about him."
Daniel Nielson (Eastern Ranges)
Born 9.5.1996, 193cm, 90kg
AFL biography: Strong bodied defender that is rarely beaten one-on-one. Has shown he has the ability to play at both ends of the ground. At his best when he keeps things simple. His athleticism and competitiveness are his greatest strengths. He was often given the task of playing on the opposition's most dangerous Tall Forward throughout his four games in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Has averaged 11.7 disposals and 3.4 marks in 11 TAC Cup games.
Mark Neeld, Eastern Ranges: "Daniel's had a really good year as a tall defender, he made the TAC Cup Team of the Year and represented Vic Metro so he's done well. His key attributes are that he's a very good one-on-one defensive backman. He's competitive in the air and on the ground and at the moment his big strength is nullifying his opponents. So I think he has some upside, and in an AFL environment he'll learn more about the game and becoming a bit more offensive. But at the moment he's a key defender who shuts his man down, that's his go. He's a quiet kid who does about his work in an unobtrusive fashion, but at the same time he's quietly confident and I think he understands the things he does well."
Kyle Langford (Northern Knights)
Born 1.12.1996, 190cm, 73kg
AFL biography: Athletic tall defender/forward that has excelled at both ends this year. Reads the play exceptionally well in the air and has clean hands. Provides run from defence with 14.2 disposals at 76% efficiency in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, while also having kicked multiple bags of goals at TAC Cup level.
Peter Kennedy, Northern Knights: "Kyle's a really interesting player. He's a late birth, so he's played the whole year as a 17-year-old and he was at Ivanhoe Grammar and Vic Metro for a lot of the year. He could end up being one of those real swingmen, a defender or even that Jack Gunston-type forward. He played mainly in defence for Metro but he kicked five goals two weeks in a row for us and he has great anticipation, really quick reflexes. He doesn't get into many one-on-one wrestling contests but he can come in across the side of the pack and hang in the air for a while. He only did some cameos in the midfield for us, but he could end up playing there too. He has a good motor so it will be interesting to see how he tests but he's a smart, dangerous player wherever he plays."
Christian Bukx-Smith (Gippsland Power)
Born 27.3.1996, 193cm, 82kg
AFL biography: Athletic tall defender with an excellent mix of speed (2.99 secs – 20m sprint) and endurance (13.06 beep test). His strong work ethic along with his competitive instincts makes him very difficult to beat one on one. Provides excellent stability as a shutdown defender. Was diagnosed early in the year with stress fractures in his back and has missed the majority of the season.
Peter Francis, Gippsland Power: "He's a key position player, who loves playing full-back and has done that all the way through from under-15s. He just really loves playing there, he has a bit of white line fever about him. He's a really nice kid off the field but he hates to lose so he gets a bit angry and aggressive out there. He's had some injury issues, mostly bad luck - he broke his arm badly last year and missed a lot of football and this year he had some stress fractures in his back but he came back towards the end of the season and did really well."
Ed Vickers-Willis (Sandringham Dragons)
Born 28.3.1996, 190cm, 82kg
AFL biography: Tall Defender with excellent athleticism enabling him to play on the taller forwards. Makes good decisions defensively when spoiling and marking, as well as setting up the play from the back half. Had very consistent NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, averaging 16 disposals at 81.2% efficiency, 4.2 marks and 3.4 rebound 50s winning All-Australian Under-18 honours.
Ryan O'Connor, Sandringham Dragons: "I can't speak highly enough of Ed, he's just a fantastic kid. Clubs will love what he provides off the field with his character and leadership qualities. He wants to get the best out of himself and he's come on in leaps and bounds. He was hampered by some hip issues after the under-16s but he's been able to handle that and get himself back and he finished second in the Vic Metro best and fairest which says a lot about him. He was Melbourne Grammar's captain this year as well. He believes in what he can do under pressure, and when people are asking a lot of him that's when he's at his best. He seeks out challenges. I think he'll be able to play a role next year as a third back or something like that, and once he develops his midfield capabilities and running patterns he should be able to play in that part of the ground, he runs a 15-plus beep, has good pace and can move well side to side. I think he'll turn into a very nice player at AFL level."
Jake Lever (Calder Cannons)
Born 5.3.1996, 193cm, 84kg
AFL biography: Competitive and aggressive tall defender who can shut down opponents while also providing good rebound. Missed entire 2014 after suffering ACL injury but on the way to a full recovery. His leadership is excellent as is his work rate and feel for the game.
Ian Kyte, Calder Cannons: "Jake had his knee reconstructed in December. He's back in training now and he'll be ready to go when he gets to a club. Had he played this year he would possibly have been the No. 1 selection. He's a tall, aggressive, competitive key defender who's a really good leader. He might have even spent some time in the midfield this year had he been able to play. His leadership qualities have improved this year even though he hasn't been able to play and he hasn't missed a beat with his recovery. He does everything right, to the point we had to force him to take a break at times."
Caleb Marchbank (Murray Bushrangers)
Born 7.12.1996, 193cm, 85kg
AFL biography: Competitive tall defender with excellent mobility and repeat efforts. Anticipates well in coming off his man to support his defence and is strong overhead. Can also push forward and provide a marking target for his team. Averaged 13.5 disposals, four marks and three tackles on his way to All-Australian Under-18 honours at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.
Lee Fraser, Murray Bushrangers: "He's pretty special. He's probably squeezed a year's worth of footy into the 10 games he played this year. He had a hip issue in 2013 and has grown dramatically in the last 18 months, but he played four games with us and six with Vic Country and hasn't missed a beat. He hit the ground running after having that injury over summer so his rehab and conditioning were spot on, he didn't need a game to warm up. He's always a metre in front of his opponent, he reads the play so well."
Oscar McDonald (North Ballarat Rebels)
Born 18.3.96, 196cm, 84kg
AFL biography: Tall defender with strength overhead. Can shut down dangerous marking forwards with close checking and his ability one on one. Has elite endurance for his size and has had excellent year with Rebels, averaging 14.3 disposals and 6.2 marks across 18 games. Won Coaches Award in the TAC Cup in 2014.
Phil Partington, North Ballarat Rebels: "Oscar won our best and fairest this year. He's a very intelligent young boy; last year as a 17-year-old he was combining his studies with footy and got a 99 ENTER. This year he's concentrated on footy a bit more, and he's doing some integration aide teaching at St Pat's College as well. He's one who can play forward or back, he's about 197cm and a strong man and he'll get even stronger. He's the brother of Tom at Melbourne, and Tom was a late developer as well. Oscar has a good endurance base, he runs about a 14.5 beep test and he's quite quick for his size. There's been questions marks on his speed, but 3.05 seconds is not too bad for someone his size. He's always asking questions, he wants to know who he's playing on and how to prepare to play against them. He's a bit more laidback than Tom, but they both get dirty on themselves when they make mistakes and Oscar's really determined, like Tom, to get the most out of himself."
Zaine Cordy (Geelong Falcons)
Born 27.10.1996, 192cm, 80kg
AFL biography: Tall defender who excels one on one and has good combination of natural speed and endurance. Uses the ball smartly by hand and foot. Played four matches in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships averaging 10.5 disposals. Eligible Father/Son to Western Bulldogs, where his father Brian played.
Michael Turner, Geelong Falcons: "Zaine looks like he'll end up a wingman or a third tall. He's a very intelligent kid, and very task oriented. He's played on some really good players this year, he's a really good rebound defender and he has a bit of shit in him, he doesn't like being beaten. He's smaller than Ayce and a bit different - when Ayce came through he was very tall and very skinny and he had shoulder problems that year. Zaine's about 190 centimetres and he's had some minor issues with his shoulder and knees, but he's a lot more resilient than Ayce was at the same age."

Bear Soup and Salmon Mousse
Alaska recipes and more
Hare with sour cream. Reindeer teriyaki. Fried heart. Spruce beer.
"Bear Soup and Salmon Mousse" offers more than a hundred uniquely Alaskan recipes featuring Alaska fauna and flora. Entrees featuring fish and game are complemented with recipes for sauces, jellies, dips, appetizers, salads and desserts.
The cookbook was produced by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game sometime in the 1980s. Long out of print, the entire cookbook is now available on the Fish and Game website as a PDF. The PDF can be downloaded in its entirety or single pages can be printed.
In addition to recipes, the cookbook offers tips on brining, freezing and canning salmon, preparing specialty meats like liver and fish heads, and creating sourdough starter. There are actually two bear soup recipes and the salmon mousse recipe can be found after the goose tongue salad recipe – that's the plant goose tongue, not the waterfowl mouthpart. There is no shortage of waterfowl and game bird recipes. Tried and true recipes for fish and game can be found, as well as somewhat wacky ideas like cooking salmon in the dishwasher (it really works). Recipes for octopus, squid, seaweed, and sandhill crane can be found among the many variations on moose, venison, salmon and shellfish.

The cookbook can also be found on the ADF&G small game hunting webpage with additional information on field dressing game under cooking small game

Washington: In a move which would have a big impact on Indian IT companies in United States, American lawmakers in an attempt to restrict visas for skilled foreign workers has imposed a special fee of up to USD 4,500 on the H1B and L1 visas popular among Indian IT companies.
Congress leaders, while agreeing on the USD 1.1 trillion spending bill, on Wednesday decided to impose a special fee of USD 4,000 on certain categories of H1B visas and USD 4,500 on L1 visas.
The US House of Representative will vote on Friday on the USD 1.1 trillion spending bill.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday raised the issue relating to H1B and L1 visas with US President Barack Obama when the latter thanked him in his telephonic conversation for his leadership role on achieving the historic agreement on climate change in Paris on December 12.
"PM shared with @POTUS concerns of Indian IT industry & professionals on proposed legislation in U.S. Congress relating to H1B & L1 visas," the Prime Minister's Office tweeted.(ANI)

Hints of a warm breeze cut through the crisp, dry air of winter, bringing with it a sense of hope and foreshadows of sunshine. Spring is nearing the corner, however, with spring comes a sudden stress that often shudders through school. Whether the anxiousness comes from PARCC testing, an approaching graduation, or just a sudden increase of work that needs to be done before the end of the year, springtime and school time don't always mix well together. Here's a list of ideas that can help you organize your priorities and tackle tasks without overwhelming yourself, so you can enjoy the warm weather and joyful aura of spring.
- Remember the Priorities- What comes first is what needs to come first, and the more looming a deadline or due date is, the more important it is. Always complete homework that is due the very next day first. Assignments due in two days should follow on the list of priorities, with assignments due in three days falling after those, and etc. Remembering what is most important is a key aspect to keeping up with homework and projects that may become overwhelming.
- Get Organized- Sometimes, one of the hardest tasks when work becomes overwhelming is simply remembering what you have to work on. Getting an agenda book or an organizer will help you substantially, allowing you to document what it is that you have to do and when, along with due dates and other information. With having an agenda, you can write information down so it doesn't slip your mind, and you can always check to see what you have to do so you won't forget. Colorful agenda books that can be decorated are available at Michael's Craft Store, while cheaper, more simple ones can be found at most drugstores.
- Study, study, study- Unless you're getting prepared for a state test or any other assessment that you can't study for, you need to try not to slack off on studying, even though the end of the year isn't that long away. Studying will help you maintain information for your tests and quizzes, which will keep your grades on a steady incline. Make a few flashcards and always look over your notes when studying, however, don't stress yourself out too much, for then you won't be able to focus well. Some flashcard apps are available for your phone, additionally.
- Relax- The most important thing to remember when you feel overwhelmed with schoolwork is to relax. Enjoy the fact that the end of the school year gets closer and closer with every day that passes, and that the workload will soon lighten. The key to getting through the stress of school is to relax, for you can produce the best quality of work when you're relaxed.
Hopefully, this list helps you deal with the pressures of the upcoming months and the amount of work that will come your way. No matter if school stresses you out immensely or not, this list can help you maintain good study and organization habits, so school can remain stress-free. Whatever the upcoming months bring to you, may they be free of stress and anxiety, organized, and enjoyable!

How To Get Into Nursing Degree Programs
A job is good, but it is better if you have something you enjoy too. It is not enough to make a lot of money; most people earn top dollars but are very miserable. You do not have to be miserable in your later years; you can make the best choices now. One of the best fields to work in is health, and nursing degree programs are some of the best.
But even those living with regrets can still do something. It is never too late to go to school. There are so many options available. A health related career is very enjoyable, and those who choose it rarely regret it. The good thing is that you get to change many lives positively.
It is so easy, if you want to take one of the most popular ways to attain your bachelor. You just take one year and study, apply for and sit for the Council exam. This will give you the licensed nurse status. You should not stop here. Instead, proceed till you get the bachelor.
The first stage, the practical nursing, can be done within a short time. If there are no hindering circumstances, it can be easily completed in a year. At the end of this year you take the Council exam and you receive your license. It is fairly straight forward.
It might seem short and easy, but it is very important. It is here that you are provided with a lot of hands on studying. This is because you have to be in an actual health facility where you get to handle actual patients. This stage cannot be studied online.
A few people are satisfied by this, but most are not. If you are in this latter group, then you have opportunities for further study. You can aim for the associate degree by studying for two more years, or you can opt for the bachelor by studying for four straight years.
Some doctors prefer getting the associate first, and then studying for the bachelor degree as you work. They say you gain better experience this way, but there is no consensus on the issue. What is certain is that any of the two routes will get you a bachelor. Whichever option you choose will be your personal decision.
Nursing degree programs are good because there are some things that only a registered nurse can do. A registered nurse is allowed to take charge of a patient. You will be making assessments of their illnesses and deciding on the care they are receiving. It is obvious that moving from one stage to another is easy.
We have some good nursing degree programs to show you about. This will give you a chance to get the nursing degree online.

Fulham's latest victory was marred last night by an injury to Andrew Johnson. The striker, who had earlier claimed his third Europa League goal, suffered a dislocated collar bone and will be out for eight weeks.
The injury left their usually passive manager, Roy Hodgson, in furious mood, believing that the culprit, Demitry Belorukov, should have been sent off.
The Russian blatantly barged Johnson off the ball in the 63rd minute, leaving the striker in agony. Johnson left nursing his injury and spent last night in hospital where surgeons will decide whether to operate.
Having won four games out of four – three in Europe and last weekend's Premier League game at Portsmouth – and scoring 10 goals in the process, Fulham should be facing neighbours Chelsea in their derby match on Sunday in confident mood.
But Hodgson, who is set to sign West Bromwich midfielder Jonathan Greening on a season-long loan, said: "The result was marred by the unbelievably blatant challenge on Andy Johnson which has put him out of the game for a long time.
"It's very disappointing in these times, when referees are meant to be clamping down on challenges, that you get one which goes punished with a yellow card. I don't think there is any doubt he should have been sent off."
Fulham will still visit the Urals next week, when they will play on a plastic pitch, buoyed by their latest success.
Goals from Johnson, Clint Dempsey and Bobby Zamora give them a sound foundation for the return leg though they conceded a late goal which highlighted an element of complacency in an otherwise efficient display.
Amkar were formed only in 1993 by a local mineral fertiliser factory but the signs towards the end, when the Russians got a goal they deserved and threatened to add more, suggest that Fulham can ill afford to take the result for granted.
There was just three minutes and 16 seconds on the clock when they opened the scoring. Zamora received the ball from Clint Dempsey and, with an intelligent pass he found Johnson, who finished with confidence.
The visitors threatened sporadically but they lacked a cutting edge and Fulham were unfortunate not to add to their score before the interval with goalkeeper Sergei Narubin thwarting Dempsey and Johnson.
Johnson was denied again, in the 43rd minute, only by the bravery of Zakhary Sirakov, who cleared athletically off the line.
Hodgson admitted that Amkar showed "Premier League" qualities, an aspect of which he will remind his side again next Thursday, but in the 51st minute he saw the lead doubled.
Dempsey collected a loose ball just outside the penalty area and dispatched a delightful half-volley into the top corner. It was soon after that when Johnson was brought down heavily by Belorukov.
Meanwhile, £4 million newcomer Damien Duff made an immediate impact following his transfer from Newcastle United. His first touch fed Nevland, who laid the ball off for Zamora to finish in style.
There was, however, still time for Vitaliy Grishin to steal what could still prove to be an important away goal. Grishin almost added a second, leaving Fulham in nervous mood towards the end.

Watch Videos The Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head or donating to the ALS Association in the United States. It went viral throughout social media during the Northern-Hemisphere summer of 2014.
The challenge dares nominated participants to have a bucket of ice water poured on their head. One common stipulation gives 24 hours from the time they are nominated to complete the dare; otherwise, the participant is asked to donate money to charity.
The origins of the idea of dumping cold water on one's head to raise money for charity are unclear and have been attributed to multiple sources. During the Northern-Hemisphere winter of 2013–14, a challenge of unknown origin often called the "Cold Water Challenge" became popular on social media in areas of the Northern United States. The task usually involved the option of either donating money to cancer research or having to jump into cold water. It was criticized for the danger of going into cold water unassisted. by wikipedia.

IT Journey, LLC is an IT service provider.
What OS are your desktops running?
What version is your domain (2000, 2003, 2003R2, 2008)?
Dec 22, 2008 at 5:35 UTC
The only way to manage power settings with GPO on XP is to install the 'EZ GPO Power Management tool' on every pc. You can deploy this with GPO or with a script (msiexec).
I'm not 100% sure that you can manage the power button. If not you can try to import the settings into the registry via eg VBS scripting.
You can download the tool and ADM-files here: http:/
In Vista you have the possibility to manage Power settings via GPO; you don't need to install the EZ GPO Power Man Tool.
The Auto-lock is a part of the screen saver witch you can adjust via the standard GPO.
Dec 22, 2008 at 8:50 UTC
Remember you will also have to lock the power cable to both the wall and the computer and coat to cable in a non-severable material. When you idiot proof something they make a smarter idiot.

West Indies coach Ottis Gibson feels that two wickets at the fag end of the day would help the Caribbeans bounce back on Day Two of the second Test at the Eden Gardens today. "Two late wickets will help us bounce back and keep the series alive," Gibson said after India were 346-5 at close of the first day.
Ottis Gibson
Gibson though credited his bowlers for toiling hard on a wicket that didn't offer too much to his bowlers. "But it is no use cribbing as this is the nature of the sub-continent's wickets. It's always tough to play here," he said.
Asked why Kemar Roach was picked to play the Eden Test, Gibson showed his faith in the fast bowler. "We took into account the historical evidence of Indian batsmen's success against spinners. And with Kemar, we thought he could use the extra pace. Overall, he has filled in Rampaul's boots quite well. He bowled well today and I hope he will improve further as the game proceeds," he stated.
The West Indies coach was all praise for Rahul Dravid, who scored his fourth ton at Eden, and VVS Laxman. "Any bowling attack would find it tough to bowl against batsmen of that calibre. You can say the same thing about Dravid and Tendulkar. They (VVS and Dravid) scored quickly and for us to get five wickets at the end of the day wasn't a bad at all," he felt.

There is a flame that never goes out....
The other night I was watching the closing ceremony of the London Olympics, having just been listening to The Smiths while cooking. And my daughters and I got to imagining what it might have been like if Danny Boyle had got Morrissey and Marr in to do a song in his festivities: magnificently depressing lyrics about teenage angst and loneliness coupled with Olympic fun, fireworks and flashing lights.
How can you not love songwriters who can come up with:
There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die
Actually, it's funny the way things happen. As I was looking for the video clip I discovered that t.A.t.U had done a cover version of How Soon Is Now. While not exactly bouncy fun, watching their video I almost COULD imagine it in an Olympic celebration. Sadly they're Russian.....

That is only semi-secure, but to make it better the NTFS encrypt keys are kept in the laptop's TPM. you'd need the secret TPM key to 0wn the system. I dont think that is perfect because -the TPM driver stores its secret key in the kernel mode driver memory and does not ask for it again when the laptop hibernates. That implies it gets stored to the hibernate file when the laptop goes into S5 state, when it should really erase all knowledge of the key before shutting down, and do it again on startup (in case the laptop did a battery criticical S0-S5 transition without telling the drivers). -you have to assume that there is a back door in the TPM for governments. Why else would they let vista and osx ship with TPM integration? -If the next bit of the UK RIPE act is turned on, it will allow the government to ask users for their private keys used for communications, and imprison you if you dont turn them over. I will have to use different keys for signing apps from ssh from PGP-emails. -keystroke interceptors can get at your TPM password by subverting the OS or the keyboard controller CPU, which does of course keep all its firmware in the main BIOS. Now, a USB memory stick with encrypted memory and a pin keypad on the stick, that would be secure storage. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Moonlight's Barry Jenkins and Tarrell Alvin McCraney won the USC Scripter Award last night, which honours the best page-to-screen adaptations of the year by giving prizes to both the screenwriter and the author of the original source material.
Oddly, the Academy still included McCraney in the Oscar nomination as well, but if you're willing to give McCraney story credit on this project (for writing a play that never got produced), doesn't that mean you're treating it like an original screenplay? I don't think too many people are going to complain about McCraney standing alongside Jenkins with an Oscar in hand two weeks from now, but I'm curious to hear where others stand on this question.
Elsewhere, the Art Directors Guild handed out their hardware for the best production design of the 2016. Oscar nominees La La Land and Passengers won their respective categories for Contemporary and Fantasy Production Design (the latter being a particularly inspired choice, if you ask me). Best Period Production Design went to Hidden Figures, beating out Oscar and BAFTA nominee Hail, Caesar.
This still feels like a trickier call than meets the eye. Only one Academy nominee (the aforementioned Hail, Caesar) is a straight period design job, with Fantastic Beasts representing a fantasy-period hybrid. The rest are all fantasy and contemporary. That's unusual for a branch that's often more than half populated with period sets. La La Land still looks like the frontrunner based on all it's already won, but it would be a very atypical Oscar winner.

Forty-eight hours to go before the end of your holiday in a heavenly village in the south-west of France and you spend the day with your nose squashed against the window of the local estate agent's. You're trying to calculate the sterling/euro exchange rate with the calculator on your mobile phone and wondering what's more important - proximity to the nearest international school, or a decent-sized swimming pool?
Sound familiar? Encouraged by Britain's high property prices, bargain flights and the spread of the internet, intoxicated by azure skies, cheap wine and ancient stone walls as thick as Dundee cake, more and more of us have fantasised about the good life in France. Yet for most of the 13m British tourists who go there each year, reality usually kicks in by the time the plane lands back at Gatwick.
Real-life television programmes about people's disastrous moves abroad have subsequently become one of our guilty pleasures. If we don't have the nerve, the cash, the freedom to do it, why should anyone else? From the safety of our sofas, a small part of us revels in seismic fallouts with local builders, and cheers when the business fails because he doesn't speak French and she misses her mum.
But what about the people who do actually cross the Channel and stay there? It's estimated that 250,000 second homes in France are owned by UK nationals. It is impossible to know how many of these people have made France their permanent base: freedom of movement within the European Union means that they no longer need a resident's permit, or carte de sejour, if they want to settle there permanently.
Once there, so long as they pay their taxes and social security charges, British people have exactly the same rights as a French person. They can use the famously efficient health service and place their children in local schools, which are reputed to be stricter and more formal than at home.
They can also take advantage of bargain property prices. In the past, prices have been as much as 50 per cent lower than in Britain. Popular destinations included the south-east, from Languedoc through Provence to Cote d'Azur, and Brittany and Normandy in the north. But the south-west is now becoming more
popular, and Limousin and Auvergne, in the middle of the country, are also being tipped by estate agents.
Over the summer I've met some of the Brits who got away - the banker running his own vineyard; the fashion PR who moved to a remote French village (number of shops: two); the computer expert about to buy his first boat in Cannes; the down-shifting publisher who has set up an osteopathy practice.
Unesco's quality-of-life index puts France second only to Canada, but it hasn't always been easy for these Brits abroad. At times they have been lonely, broke, stressed, frustrated, tongue-tied. They have landed themselves in a place which is, on the whole, suspicious of outsiders and doubtful about entrepreneurial verve; where unemployment runs at about 10 per cent and the average salary of €16,000 a year (just under £11,000) is less than in the UK. They have had to deal with high taxes and social security charges, as well as a bureaucracy that is almost proud to be the most complicated in the world.
They've come to France because they wanted a different kind of lifestyle - but they've ended up working harder than they've ever done to make it succeed. Meanwhile, they've had to learn to survive in a new country at a time when France is going through its own identity crisis.
Yet not one of them regrets the move for a moment. And while none would go so far as to describe themselves as French, neither do they dream of coming home.
Jo Asquith
Neffies, Languedoc
Jo, 39, is unperturbed. 'If you're a bit glamorous, you're a woman on your own, you're quite young and they don't know your story, they make all kinds of assumptions.' She lives in a beautiful 200-year-old house, complete with
swimming pool, terrace and electric sockets which blow up all the time.The decor is part vintage Rococo, part 20th-century rock'n'roll - Murano glass chandeliers, candy-pink walls, Sex Pistols posters.
A tragedy brought her here. Her husband, Dorian, died suddenly in January 2001 and she needed a place where she and her boys, Charlie and Alfie, could take refuge. 'When I came here I was completely devastated.
I really thought I was going to die. The world seemed incredibly fragile and I couldn't cope with London any more.' Jo and Dorian had already bought the property for €120,000, thinking that it would be perfect for holidays - 'I've always bought and sold. That's how I've made my money. To be honest, I'm a frustrated estate agent' - but, deep in the French countryside, the house became a hideaway.
When your world has fallen apart, I don't suppose a hoo-ha with the neighbours matters too much. 'This area is a bit like Enid Blyton England, 40 years ago. But I like shaking things up a bit. I'm not a conformist and I was never going to come here and be like everyone else. It's like any village. I stand out a bit. It wasn't totally unexpected.' First the locals signed a petition to stop her parking her car in the street. Then Alfie was bullied at school. Then she was stalked by a man from a town nearby. In the meantime, she didn't have much in common with the other expats in the area. 'I'm polite and nice and everything. But I wouldn't be friends with them in England, so why should I be friends with them here?'
Yet, over time, the peace and quiet and stability have helped the family to heal. 'We arrived in the middle of winter. It was freezing cold and the house was a wreck. But I didn't care. I was so happy to be away from the chaos.'
It's certainly a change from her old life as a fashion PR and designer. There's not much call for ex-clients Agent Provocateur and Fendi, Topshop and House of Fraser around here. No parties with Kate, Sadie and co.
She's paid her way with a bit of this, a bit of that: she's the PR for the Kabbalah centre in London, she buys and sells property, deals in antiques. The internet means she can sit by the pool and work. Meanwhile, she pops back to Britain every month and has kept a flat in London - 'That's where people go wrong. They burn all their bridges.' Last time she went back she treated herself to three nights at the Dorchester.
There are still things that infuriate her about French life. She finds the chilly, dreary winters hard going, especially when the central heating breaks down and the gas bottle runs out. What else? 'Expensive food, dog shit on the pavements, dirty grey knickers on washing lines outside people's houses - the idea that it's glamorous here is a myth. It isn't.'
What about French men?
'Well, I've never slept with one,' she laughs. 'And I don't think they're very clean.'
But there are compensations. The house is wonderful, even though one day she dreams of owning somewhere with a view of the sea. The nearest beach is 20 minutes away. They go to the lake after school or to the mountains for a picnic. She's even found a designer clothes shop in nearby Beziers, for those days when she fancies another pair of shoes. Charlie and Alfie have made friends, and they're practically bilingual. Her father has moved to a village nearby. Mates from London come over all the time - two have bought holiday homes in the area.
And, a year ago, she met her new husband, a Polish man called Razer. The woman who had resigned herself to life on her own unexpectedly fell in love again. She tells me he is kind and handsome and patient and calm and, rather wonderfully, a bloody good builder. They have a baby daughter. Her name is Bliss.
Robin & Liz Williamson
Murviel, Languedoc
'In hindsight,' says Liz Williamson, 35, with what I will come to realise is characteristic pragmatism, 'leaving London, buying a vineyard and having a baby at the same time wasn't the most sensible thing to do.'
She first saw the house in the village of Murviel-les-Montpellier, where she now lives with her husband Robin, almost three years ago. Situated in a remote part of the countryside, in the Languedoc wine-growing region, it was without a roof (the previous owner, driven mad by the frustrations of the wine business, had managed to burn it down accidentally). The walls were blackened and scorched. The floors slathered in thick grease. The last people to live there had been a group of squatters.
'But we'd always agreed on three criteria,' says Robin, 32. 'The quality of the vineyard was most important.' The house came with 25 acres of vines and amazing soil, 75m years old, which, in soil terms, is pretty damn perfect. 'Second, we needed somewhere to make the wine.' There was potential for a winery in the cellar. 'Where to sleep came third. Frankly, it was the least of our worries.'
Not long after moving in, Liz shocked the neighbours by helping with the vines at seven months pregnant (this is a trenchantly old-fashioned community where men still hold the authority and women are supposed to stay indoors). Then eldest son Jasper expertly timed teething with their first harvest and its mandatory
18-hour days. Less than two years later their second son, Max, was born.
Where once their lives were predicated on interest rates - Robin worked for Salomon Brothers bank, Liz was financial director of munster.com - now they're beholden to their 45,000 vines. They originally became interested in wine the traditional way - by drinking it. Prompted by a wine-tasting course, Robin chucked in his job in 2001 and completed a two-year wine course at Plumpton College near Brighton, while Liz took on the burden of paying the bills. To set up the business they sold their flat in Barons Court in west London for a £120,000 profit, borrowed €300,000 from their French bank and €200,000 of family money. The vineyard cost €470,000, plus funds for renovation and equipment.
But wine-making takes time and it was 18 months before they produced their first bottle of Domaine de Saumarez. Couple this with the fact that one in five French vineyards are predicted to go bust, plus the headache of crippling social security charges, and I wonder if they ever worry about what they've taken on.
Liz: 'Every now and then I think, "Oh my God, we've got to stop spending money."'
Robin: 'Investing in the tanks, the barrels. It's a pretty heinous amount of money. There have been times when I've woken up in a cold sweat.'
Liz: 'But you can't get too worried. You have to relax or you'd go mad from stress.'
Pruning, harvesting, blending, bottling, selling. It's a year-long back-breaking job, especially since they do most of the production by hand without herbicides. When they're not besieged by pesky rabbits, they're battling with wasps. When they're not battling with wasps, there are eyeball-melting
40-degree temperatures to contend with. When it's not an eyeball-melting 40 degrees, the wind might be blowing 70km an hour in the wrong direction (if it gusts in from the sea, the grapes start to taste bad, says Robin).
They haven't had a holiday for a year. They recently went out for dinner in Montpellier for their wedding anniversary - it was their first night out for six months. Usually they have just enough energy to watch the weather forecast on the TV set and fall into bed.
But, just recently, the business is starting to come together. They should be breaking even by the end of this year. Their 2004 premium-quality red wine Aalenien recently scored 92 out of 100 in the prestigious Wine Spectator magazine. Specialist wine websites have been giving them more great feedback. They have two British importers, Handford and Thorman Hunt and, fingers crossed, hope to sign a deal to export to the lucrative American market very soon.
'We'll know in a year or two whether it's financially viable,' says Liz, ex-accountant, wine-maker, mother and pragmatist. 'You have to give it 10 years because the wine industry is such a slow-moving business. It takes a long time to make your name.'
Simon Glynn
Cannes, Cote d'Azur
It's a long way from Walsall City Council to the seafront in Cannes. Women of an uncertain age glide between palm trees on rollerblades. Small dogs are ferried about inside their very own leather handbags. Boutique shops sell designer kaftans and deluxe hammocks and not much else besides.
Back in his twenties, Wolverhampton-born Simon Glynn worked in the computer department of the local council ('Job for life you've got there,' his father John, who'd also been in computers, told him). He's worked in the IT industry ever since he left school, first in the West Midlands, then Holland and France. Now 35, he's running his own business, Riviera IT Solutions, from Cannes. There are plans to expand across Europe and to the Caribbean; with any luck he hopes to be able to take a back seat by the time he's 40.
'I think I've changed a lot living here,' he says, sipping an espresso in the Carlton Hotel's Bar des Celebrities. 'I feel a lot more confident. I don't worry about the small things. I am grateful for what I have and where I live. There are days when I'm late for a meeting, trapped in traffic - but if I'm stuck behind a caravan on the road to St Tropez, why not enjoy it?'
Remarkably, the business has been running for less than two years. It started with Simon helping expats out when their computers crashed; his girlfriend Suzanne, who'd worked for a French accountancy firm, did the sums. Now, having merged with another UK company, they employ 30 people. They set up state-of-the-art computer technology and cut-price international telephone deals on millionaires' yachts, install the latest security systems in palatial villas, provide multinational businesses with whiz-bang temporary offices during the festivals. His latest job is to figure out how to provide a private jet with satellite TV.
He's a quietly determined kind of chap, not much given to flummery or exaggeration. First there was a business plan which he's rigorously stuck to. Then there were
15- or 20-hour days. 'I knew I couldn't go online and create a company in an hour. You have to prove to the authorities that you're not going to be a fly-by-night operation. I understood how the culture worked. I did my research. What too many expats do is set up a company and then think about the business plan when it's too late. They don't have any targets. We were very much, "Where will we be in six months?"'
Notwithstanding strict employment laws, which mean he must be very sure before he hires a permanent member of staff, everything has gone to plan.
Gradually, he's grown used to French ways. The fact that Cannes is a bit glam and he can't pop to the shops in his tracksuit like he could at home. The fact that when he gets there he'll have to linger in the queue while the biddy in front has a leisurely chat with the cashier. 'Back home a typical weekend was Friday night in the pub for a few beers, watching the football on Saturday, Sunday spent cleaning the car and cutting the grass. Here a Sunday afternoon in January might mean skiing on the Alps. This Sunday we're taking a boat out to one of the islands. Last weekend we had 20 people over for a barbecue.' His wardrobe, and his diet, he says, have benefited immeasurably from the move.
'I never in my wildest dreams imagined working here. If someone had said you'll be working in a foreign country, I would never have said it would be France.' Whether he'll still be here in 10 years' time is anyone's guess. He could be almost anywhere - Spain, Italy, the Caribbean, America. Anywhere, it's safe to say, but Wolverhampton.
Rachel Dickens
Antibes, Cote d'Azur
When 39-year-old Rachel Dickens originally pitched up on the French Riviera she survived, she remembers, 'by switching off my emotions'. Five years later it's hard to imagine. Sitting cross-legged on a chair in the airy treatment rooms of her osteopathy practice, she's loquacious and relaxed.
Back to Antibes, 2001. She was on her own. She knew no one in the area. She had nowhere permanent to live. She had swapped a smart Fulham Road lifestyle 'going out eight nights a week' and a job as a commercial publisher for - what? £15,000 in savings, a suitcase of clothes and a room in a local hotel. 'I turned my feelings off. Otherwise, I knew I would be sat crying every night. I had a list of what I had to do and I made myself go through it: bank account, phone, car, house. In the evenings I would hate going to places by myself and have to sit in a bar on my own, but I knew that I had to do it.'
What she did have was a very good business idea. When she was 28, an osteopath had successfully treated her for crippling back pain. It proved to be a turning-point. 'I wanted to do for other people what she'd done for me. I felt as if I had a debt to pay.' She gave up the lucrative salary at the parent company of the Daily Mail and embarked on an osteopathy training course. Four years later, what had begun as a serious injury morphed into a versatile qualification she could take pretty much anywhere in the world. 'Originally I couldn't decide between opening a business in the West Country, or Barcelona, or coming to France. But what I did know is that in any population you can find people in pain who need help.'
She phoned every doctor 'between Monaco and Marseille' for advice and they pointed her in the direction of Antibes. Here was an expat community who would trust an English-speaking therapist, and an itinerant yachting fraternity who needed treatment for the aches and pains which come from being at sea.
Within three months in Antibes she was already paying her own way and gradually there were breakthroughs. Clients, friends, a villa with views of the sea. Her A-level French improved - she's fluent enough to argue in the language now, she says triumphantly.
She told herself she wanted a fig tree in her garden, the space to eat outside, and a dog. Finally she has all three. The dog's a rescued stray - she's called him Napoleon - and most days he can be found curled up in a corner of the treatment rooms.
Her client list from the yachting set reads like the contents of Grazia magazine. She can't namedrop for reasons of confidentiality - 'I'd love to tell people, "Guess who I saw in their pants today!" but I can't. Let's just say that it's rock stars, pop gods, supermodels, royalty - some of the richest people in the world. As well as hairdressers and gardeners and office workers.' In the summer she works from very early in the morning, when it's cool, until late at night; in the winter, when it's quiet, she will do a three-day week and then go skiing in the mountains.
She nicknames Antibes 'Angle-tibes' because it can seem that there are more British people here than French. At the newsagents in the railway station, young couples in matching shorts, their translucent skin the colour of whipped egg whites, read the headlines on the front of the Daily Express. Further towards the port, the Blue Lady bar offers 'pub grub', and the Geoffrey's of London supermarket flogs Tetley teabags at a robust €6.40 mark-up.
'I thought before I came here that I'd be living in France, but it's England-on-sea. Which is lovely because it makes it much easier to work and make friends but, on the other hand, you really have to work to live a French life here because everything is in English.'
So what's French about her life?
'My plumbing at home,' she laughs. 'Every time you flush the loo the water comes up the bath.' And her neighbours. 'They're incredible. Every week they'll leave me something on my doorstep.' A bag of lemons or cherries. During the 2006 World Cup they hung up the St George's Cross alongside their French flags.
I suggest that she's been brave to make a new life for herself on her own in France but she shrugs away the suggestion. The locals say foreigners stay three months, three years, or forever. She thinks she's here for the long haul. 'If you're not happy in your own country, you're not going to be happy here. I was happy at home and I'm happy here. If you arrive and expect everything to be run the way you're used to, then of course you're going to antagonise people. Who wants a foreigner telling them what to do? You have to relax, learn the culture, accept how things happen. "Just because it's different doesn't mean it's wrong." That's a phrase I repeat to myself a lot.'
She's just emerged from a five-month grilling by the infamous French tax office. The inspector forensically scrutinised every single bank statement transaction dating back to 2001, when she arrived. 'I got away with it by making out that I couldn't speak the language very well and crying a lot,' she says, laughing, and I conclude that if she's not brave, she is definitely resourceful.
At the end of the investigation the tax man asked her out on a date. Now that, we both agree, really does sound French.

Update on Cory
Cory is having some pain issues related to inflammation and arthritis. We have tried two different medications, neither of which worked. We took him into his vet on Monday and she has referred him to a neurologist, who we'll see tomorrow. The vet took a blood draw and had a "geriatric panel" done on it, and the good news is his kidneys have improved quite a bit since his last blood draw, 5 months ago. His creatinine level has dropped from a 2.8 (5 months ago) to a 1.8!!! The normal range is 0.6 to 1.2, so we have made significant progress (thank you Renal Essential supplements!!!) Cory's vet said we need to keep him moving, so I have started getting up early to take him for a morning walk and of course when I get home he gets an evening walk. He moseys along like an old Grampa, but I now understand that we need to keep his muscles from becoming weak. A shout out of thanks to those of you who have written with interesting suggestions for pain management!

Govt moves to soften immigration policies
The Government today announced it is moving to soften immigration policy, scaling back mandatory detention and introducing a system it says will mean more asylum seekers avoid ending up in detention centres. The Opposition has attacked the measures, suggesting they will weaken border security and encourage people-smugglers.
TranscriptTONY JONES, PRESENTER: Well as we predicted last night, the Government today announced it will move to soften immigration policy, scaling back mandatory detention and introducing a system, it says, will mean more asylum seekers avoid ending up in detention centres.
While the reform has been welcomed by refugee advocates and those who've experienced detention at first hand, the Opposition has attacked the measures, suggesting they'll weaken border security and encourage people smugglers.
Conor Duffy reports.
CONOR DUFFY, REPORTER: Farshid Kheirollahpoor knows the inside of Australia's detention centres well. He was detained for three years after fleeing Iran to seek asylum and start a new life.
FARSHID KHEIROLLAHPOOR, FORMER DETAINEE: I'm totally against that sort of brutal treatment. Knowing that there is no detention centre for anyone else, it would be very good news for so many people in this country.
CONOR DUFFY: Mr Kheirollahpoor was released six years ago. He's welcomed today's immigration reforms.
FARSHID KHEIROLLAHPOOR: I'm very thrilled, I'm really welcoming this and I'm sure all the people who experienced that part of their life in detention, they would be very relieved.
CONOR DUFFY: Today the Immigration Minister Chris Evans said that while asylum seekers arriving by boat will be detained on Christmas Island, the Government will apply new values to detention to ensure fewer people endure extended periods in detention.
CHRIS EVANS, IMMIGRATION MINISTER: The onus of proof will change, the Department will have to prove why someone should be detained, what risk they constitute that justifies detention, rather than the current system where the presumption is that someone will be detained, so the presumption, if you like, is reversed, and we think that'll mean a lot less people being detained.
CONOR DUFFY: The Government says it will review the position of the 357 people currently in immigration detention.
CHRIS EVANS: I think some people will be released, but this isn't about a mass opening of the gates, this is about a more humane treatment of asylum seekers, a more humane detention policy and we think this will allow us to maintain strong border security but also allow us to treat people with human dignity.
CONOR DUFFY: The Opposition though is warning that people smugglers are still lurking in the region, and says they may be heartened by the policy shift.
CHRIS ELLISON, OPPOSITION SPOKESMAN: Today's announcement by the Rudd Labor Government to relax Australia's immigration detention
laws is one that will destabilise border protection in this country, it is one which will reduce the strong border protection that Australia has enjoyed in the past.
CONOR DUFFY: Experts in immigration law have hailed the move as a radical shift in policy.
DR MARY CROCK, PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC LAW, SYDNEY UNIVERSITY: I think that this is an amazing change and I'm really delighted as everybody I think who has spoken today. It's a phenomenal fundamental change in attitude to immigration detention and the Government's to be applauded for the move that it's made.
CONOR DUFFY: But Dr Mary Crock argues that the changes have not been enshrined in law, and could be easily reversed by a new government.
MARY CROCK: My only concern with this is that it's all happening at a policy level, and no changes are being mooted of the actual legislation.
FARSHID KHEIROLLAHPOOR: I can't really explain how painful it was, that period of life for so many people, and the detention centre brings such a painful memory.
CONOR DUFFY: Farshid Kheirollahpoor says he'll be happy if it means just one person avoids a long stay in detention.
Conor Duffy, Lateline.

From private memorials at hospitals and firehouses to public displays of remembrance in storefront windows, the city's businesses and religious and cultural institutions will mirror the official ceremonies on the anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center. And, like the official commemoration, the tone of the day will be understated symbolism.
''We are a very New York store,'' said Michael Macko, a spokesman for Saks Fifth Avenue for whom the commemoration is personal, because his father was killed in the 1993 bombing of the trade center. ''I think we are trying to commemorate a tragic event with dignity, which is not an easy thing to do.''
After the destruction of the World Trade Center, all the display windows in the 61 Saks stores were draped in black. A sign read, ''With Sadness.'' On the first anniversary, Mr. Macko said, the windows will be given a white backdrop with the words, ''With Remembrance.''
Macy's and Bloomingdale's will have their own window displays. Bloomingdale's flagship store on 59th Street at Third Avenue will display murals drawn by local schoolchildren that will incorporate the words admiration, bravery, community, freedom, heroism, healing, hope, spirit, support and togetherness. Elina Kazan, a spokeswoman for Macy's, said the store's display would be ''very stark and very to the point.''
Those stores will follow the mayor's advice and remain open for business, but it will be far from business as usual in New York.Continue reading the main story
Makovsky & Company, a public relations agency in Manhattan, has asked employees to write their reflections about Sept. 11 and will post them on its Web site.
Some businesses said that they would close. More than a dozen Broadway theaters will be dark on that Wednesday, and some offices, like the law firm Kenyon & Kenyon, will not open.
The New York Stock Exchange announced that it would suspend trading in the morning and was planning a formal ceremony.
A spokesman for the United Federation of Teachers said that each school would mark the day in its own way. Administrators at several schools said they would stage assemblies to talk about the events in a manner appropriate for their students. And some schools will make psychologists available.
Ceremonies are also planned at colleges and universities. Columbia will hold a brief reading of the names of 41 people associated with the school who died in the attack. There will also be an interdenominational memorial service at noon and a candlelight vigil that evening. Marist will not hold morning classes to honor the one student, five alumni and family members of graduates who died.
Among the many events surrounding the anniversary, the Y.M.C.A. of Greater New York, which serves 170,000 children in the five boroughs, has planned a week of activities and will reprint a brochure on tolerance in several languages, including Arabic, Chinese and Spanish.
Churches around the city were planning activities. While the Archdiocese of New York was still making plans, St. Patrick's Cathedral, where a special Mass will be celebrated at 5:30 p.m., will provide the likely model.
