Quota reform protests continue
Published : 11 Apr 2018, 12:35
Students and job seekers have again taken to the streets on Wednesday to call for reforms to the quota system for government jobs.
Though the protests have been going on for some time, the latest round began on Sunday, with a large-scale protest at Dhaka University. The protest turned violent that evening after police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. Clashes broke out on the university campus and continued overnight.
On Monday students from universities across the country began holding local protests in solidarity with those at Dhaka University.
A delegation from the Dhaka University protesters met with government officials on Monday afternoon and decided to postpone protests until May 7. But not all of the protesters agreed and the decision was reversed again on Tuesday.
Jahangirnagar University
Students from Savar's Jahangirnagar University have boycotted class and occupied the Dhaka-Aricha Highway to call for reforms to the quota system for government jobs.
The protest has blocked traffic on the highway since 10am on Wednesday.
The protesters say they are also demonstrating against the remarks of two ministers regarding the protests and 'attacks by police and the Bangladesh Chhatra League'.
The protest programme and boycott was announced on Tuesday night. Several thousand protesters gathered in front of the Jahangirnagar University central library around 9am accordingly.
The protesters marched around campus at 10am and came to the main gate before occupying the Dhaka-Aricha Highway at 10:30am.
A large deployment of police and members of the university proctor's team are also present.
"We are trying to move the students off the road and bring them back to campus over concern for their safety," said Proctor Sikder Md Zulkernine. "We have asked the students to refrain from violence."
Protesters calling for quota reforms have once again halted the Chittagong University shuttle train.
Students from Chittagong University and various other educational institutions occupied the Sholshohor Rail Station on Wednesday morning.
'Council for the Protection of Bangladesh General Students' Rights' Chattagram branch convener Tofayel Ahmed told bdnews24.com that protest programmes would be held in Chattagram, as they would be in Dhaka.
Sholshohor Rail Station Master Md Shahabuddin said that students were holding marches and rallies at the station and that the train had been halted on the rail line.
Students from Chittagong University had joined in during nationwide protests calling for quota reforms on Monday. They were later joined by students from other educational institutions.
They had held a 10-hour obstruction programme before dispersing after a faction of Dhaka University protesters halted their demonstrations.

There is something fascinating about the aroma of breads and pastries, especially if they are fresh out of the oven. Researchers believe that the smell of bread makes us kinder to strangers, and evokes a homely feel that makes a place warm, open, and welcoming. And that is exactly what Ali Mohammed Ritha Jawad Al Turihi, owner of the Baghdad Bakery is all about — to serve you bread and a whole lot of love.
Baghdad Bakery
Al Turihi is an Iraqi dreamer with a giant heart who loves cooking and baking bread. He was born in a town called Kufa, south of Baghdad in Iraq. He moved to Baghdad to finish his education. At the age of 18, he travelled to England to study piloting, then lived most of his life in the city of London. Though he's been in the airplanes industry, his true passion has always been in the kitchen, making succulent treats for himself and his friends, as his heart truly belongs to food.
In 2010, Al Turihi came to Oman seeking a different kind of business. He wanted something unique and interesting, something a bit more alive, and which involved making delicious edible creations. Luckily, he found a brand new bakery on sale and decided to embark on a new journey, a journey of bread-making, and that's how Baghdad Bakery came to life.
Baking wasn't his cup of tea, but still, Al Turihi's courageous personality made him dive deeper into a foreign field of expertise and learn every single bit about making these doughy creations. He learned from the bakers that he hired, as well as a ton of cookery and baking books, and given the fact that he's a self-taught baker, his work is by the book, but with his own touch that doesn't compromise on taste and great quality.
Baghdad Bakery
"It's my nature to produce good food," said Al Turihi, adding with a laugh, "I like the customers to eat what I eat, and fortunately what I eat is good." Baghdad Bakery is the only Iraqi bakery in Muscat that offers a variety of exclusive and traditional Iraqi treats, such as Iraqi bread and barley bread. Other types of breads include samoon bread, Lebanese bread, focaccia, baguette, and briskets.
All breads come in either white or brown flour, and are all handmade. And, he also makes sweets and Arabic desserts that are any food connoisseur's delight. His bakery attracts people from across town, from Seeb to Al Amerat, who not only come to have a true taste of Iraqi baking, but to also see the baker himself, who has mastered the art of greeting people, as he welcomes them with an open heart and positive energy, and bakes the goods alongside his bakers, which is rare in this part of town.
"I'd rather lose a 1,000 rials not to upset a customer, because I'm sure in the next five years he's going to bring me 5,000 rials rather than what I've lost," Al Turihi explains as he removes a tray of aromatic, freshly baked bread from the oven.
What's his favourite part of being a successful, authentic baker in Oman? "People's appraisal fuels to progress." The brand that he has established has become known across town, and he's opening up a couple of more stores around Muscat soon. We cannot wait to see what new experiments and Iraqi treats Al Turihi will have in store for us, because they are downright delicious. "Believe it or not, it's only flour, water, and yeast, but it's amazing what you can do with it!"

Bold means I LOVED the movie and would recommend it. An asterisk beside the movie means I watched it in a theatre. If the film is italicized, I watched it either in class or for a class.

F&O Market Expire Suggestion
As the November F&O expiry nears more volatile movements can be expected on Nifty. Counters like ACC and Gujurat Ambuja may witness more selling pressure, because these two stocks open interest has increased in the near month, indicative of fresh shorts. ACC has last support at Rs 998 and Gujrat Ambuja at Rs 141. Movements below these levels can cause more pressure on these stocks. The moving average combination of 9, 50,100 have given a sell signal which can bring down the Nifty towards 5,755 in the short term. The resistance for the Nifty will be at 5,944 and 5,971.
The market is now in a correction phase. The long term trend remains up. Nifty likely to face resistance around 6,000, if rallies. The market is likely to remain volatile in view of expiry of derivatives due on 25th November.
Stocks Suggestion
Bharati Shipyard
Shares of the company gained Rs 9.5, or 4.15%, to settle at Rs 238.55. It touched a high of Rs 249.70 and a low of Rs 227.50. The company plans to acquire 51% stake in South India-based Tebma Shipyards for Rs 757.5 million.

Sebi committee suggests tougher rules for new bourses
A Sebi committee on Tuesday recommended that only banks and public financial institutions could be anchor investors in bourses and restrict them from listing or making huge profits. The move could make it difficult for corporate entities to set up stock exchanges.
According to industry sources, the recommendations would make things difficult for FTIL group-founded new bourse MCX-SX, which is allowed to trade only in currency futures, and its plea for trading in equity and other segments has already been rejected by Sebi on non-compliance with shareholding and other norms.
In the report posted for public comments on Sebi website today, the committee suggested a minimum net worth of Rs. 100 crore for the stock exchanges and allowing only banks and public financial institutions as the anchor or main investors.

text: On October 10-11, the main Ukrainian market of clothing, footwear and accessories "Vsi.Svoi" showed to people new autumn and winter collections of more than 200 Ukrainian brands. For the sixth time dandies and ladies two days went on three floors of galleries D12, where it's been presented. For guests' brands were divided into three categories and placed on three floors. Shoes separately, clothing and accessories separately, respectively, too. Entrance was free to market and sell in the territory of warming drinks and food - frozen and hungry guests at the sixth convenience store was not. The influx of people to "Vsi.Svoi" was crazy - from morning to night people stood in queues at fitting to update your wardrobe. But to stand for what it was - it was a lot of products, their quality is very high and, of course, the biggest advantage - originality, it is unlikely you will run into a problem of the same things with a girlfriend.

Friday, May 08, 2009
Dons boss Roberto di Matteo has implied that he will be looking to keep things very tight tonight and this game could easily fizzle out into a draw, which has been the result in three of the home team's last four starts.
However, I will take the visitors off level ball, they have been incredible on the road in recent seasons, going 32-8-6, winning almost 70%. Since losing 2-0 at Leeds, they have won four straight road games without conceding, including a 1-0 victory here last month. The win was even more impressive as it came whilst they were without Aaron Wilbraham and Peter Leven and with Sam Baldock only fit enough to take a spot on the bench, these were the three top goalscorers for the Dons at the time and shows the quality available to di Matteo.This is a very accomplished team, with a strong spine and they are able to dictate play and keep possession of the ball, wherever they are playing. I have to take them at level ball, they have lost just six from 46 on the road and come into the game in much better form than Scunny, who are very dependant on their strikeforce of Hayes and Hooper, winning just three games this season when either of the two has not scored, stop them and you stop United.
Dons created 17 attempts on goal in the last match here, if they make a similar number tonight, with their starting offensive players available, they should win comfortably.
6 points MK Dons level ball 2.07 asian line....now 1.95
Good Luck.

Worse still if the passing of such a great artist goes unlamented and unannounced, it surely is a crime.

I was already in England when my daughter Turiya gave me the news. I immediately went on-line to see what kind of an orbituary the Mail & Guardian and/or The Sowetan had written of this funny genius. Needless to say I found nothing.

I was married to Fikile when I first met Percy and ours was to be a lifelong friendship, continuing long after I had parted ways with my husband.

Percy, who spent many a night at our abode could be both endearing and annoying. Annoying because he couldn't keep his pennies in his pockets long enough to reach his wife and daughters. But he could reach a shebeen faster. Well, most artists at the time tended to make these watering holes their homes.

I remember many an ocassion when Percy would quickly scribble a painting, say in a shebeen or somewhere around the Market Theatre, then flog it to anyone who could spare a buck.

It was such a pity. But I hope his infectious laughter is still booming in the world yonder, with his mates Fikile, Cyril, Winston and others. I was blessed to have known them all.

May their families be consoled by the fact that such genius did pass through this world.Tembi firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757006894427938175.post-72838521929293699442007-10-24T11:27:00.000+00:002007-10-24T11:27:00.000+00:00I'm not suprised.

Both great friends who I morn... Why nothing said was because the media was not fed. Nobody sent press realease. No jornalist who knows Ta' Percy's greatness works in media anymore.

But what about other artists what about Nhlanhla Mbatha? How did he die? Was he not great?

I loved Percy, I glorified going to the Market Theatre just to see him. He was always happy and I was happy he knew me.

"ehh Thando!" he would shout across the street. I felt proud to be known by Ta' Percy and always hoped to hear his theories on life, all of which never dissapointed me.

He said once. Don't complain about obvious things like the sun is hot, it's been hot all your life...

I send my condolences to his daughters who were my age and tell them what I believe. Your Father Lives, through all of us who were touched by him.

The Creator Re-Creates
Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Jan 28, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: Why would God re-create the heaven and the earth? Why should we look forward to it?
"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more" (Isa. 65:17-19, NIV).
We read in the opening sentence of the Bible, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1).
God is Creator.
We read in Psalms 148:1-5:
"Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created."
Also, we read in Revelation 4:11:
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created
and have their being."
But He also said, "I will create new heavens and a new earth." He will re-create the heavens and the earth!
While He allows pain, crying and even evil to prosper in the present world, in the new earth, He said, "The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy… the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more."
The fulfillment of His Words is pictured in chapters 21-22 of Revelation.
If ever we are blessed with comfort and security at present on this earth, we need to realize that the present "heavens" including this earth will be destroyed (2 Peter 3:12). As God's children, we should not be contented in this the present reality, "But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13).
Instead of finding or seeking for a more secure, or for a better place on this earth – our greater longing should be for the new heaven and the new earth.
But why?
Because in that reality, "There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"?
Because "…the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal"?
Because we find there "The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl"?

CoreLogic: The year in natural disasters
Mother Nature dispatched all manner of mayhem on the United States in 2012 — Hurricane Sandy, tornadoes, catastrophic wildfires, floods and drought.
CoreLogic Inc., an Irvine, Calif.--based real estate research firm, tallied up the year's losses for its 2012 Natural Hazard Risk Summary and Analysis. The report on the year's headline-generating weather events makes for interesting reading.
The conclusion: It would be a mistake to say Oregon suffered no adverse weather in 2012 — after all, more than 1.2 million acres of forestland burned here — but relative to drought- and storm-battered sections of the country, the state experienced a pretty mild year weather-wise.
Hurricane Sandy led the list of natural disasters in 2012 with total economic losses pegged as high as $50 billion.
Freshwater flood losses, including those attributed to Hurricane Sandy, totaled about $10 billion, the third consecutive year of rising flood damage in the U.S. The damage was largely confined to the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern U.S. Tropical Storm Debby inflicted an estimated $308 million in damage in Florida in June. CoreLogic projects $6.5 billion in flood-related losses in 2013 based on changing weather patterns.
The 2012 wildfire season was the third-most destructive in terms of acres burned since records began being kept in 1960, burning more than 9 million acres through November 15.
The ongoing trend is for fewer but larger fires.
Oregon's Long Draw Fire, which burned 557,628 acres in July, is the seventh-largest fire since 1997. In August, the Holloway Fire burned 560,000 acres in Oregon and Nevada.
The top three states for wildfires in 2012 were Idaho (1.68 million acres burned), Oregon (1.26 million acres) and Montana (1.14 million acres). CoreLogic said as long as drought conditions persist, the risk of another record-setting wildfire season remains high in 2013.
Tornado season began with the most active January on record — 79 tornadoes, including an outbreak in Alabama that caused at least $30 million in damage. The pace eased dramatically as summer wore on, caused in part by drought conditions that inhibited tornado-forming storm cells.
