Ambani Brothers Sign First Deal Since Splitting Empire
Kartikay Mehrotra and Rakteem KatakeyIndia's billionaire brothers Mukesh and Anil Ambani announced a 12 billion-rupee ($221 million) pact to share a fiber-optic network, their first deal since splitting the Reliance business empire founded by their father.
Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd., a unit of Mukesh Ambani's Mumbai-based Reliance Industries Ltd., will use the countrywide network of younger brother Anil's Reliance Communications Ltd. to start a fourth-generation broadband service, according to statements by the companies yesterday. Reliance Communications will have "reciprocal access to optic fiber infrastructure" built by Reliance Jio and the two will share telecommunications towers in the future.
The pact, the first since the brothers fought a bitter, public feud that culminated in the group being split in 2005, helps Reliance Communications generate additional income from its network at a time when profit has fallen in 13 of the last 14 quarters. Mukesh gains access to a network he helped build before the split that will kickstart a telecommunications business for which he spent 48 billion rupees buying nationwide broadband spectrum in 2010.
"The kind of infrastructure Reliance Industries would need to have put up would've been exorbitantly high," said Mumbai-based Kamlesh Kotak, head of research at Asian Market Securities Pvt. "Now, they're cost competitive."
Lost Wealth
Anil, 53, has lost 26 percent of his wealth this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He is worth $6.2 billion, while his older brother, India's richest man, is worth $22.9 billion.
Shares of Reliance Communications, India's third-largest mobile-phone operator, rose 1.6 percent to 64.45 rupees at the close in Mumbai. The stock gained 11 percent yesterday, the biggest increase since July 2011. Reliance Industries fell 2.2 percent to 776.55 rupees, compared with a 1.3 percent drop in the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex.
The 2005 battle over control of Reliance left Mukesh, 55, with the petrochemicals, oil and natural gas businesses. He ceded ownership of telecommunications, a business started by him, to Anil, who also took over power, financial services and entertainment. Both retained the rights to the Reliance name. The company was founded by their father Dhirubhai Ambani to trade spices and yarn in 1959. He died intestate in 2002.
Truce Signs
The first indication of a rapprochement came in 2010 when the brothers scrapped an agreement that prevented them from competing in each others' businesses. A year later they danced and prayed in their ancestral village on the eve of their father's 80th birth anniversary along with their families.
Reliance Communications' total debt increased more than threefold to 385.6 billion rupees on Dec. 31 from 119.1 billion rupees in June 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In January, the Mumbai-based company posted a 44 percent drop in third-quarter net income to 1.05 billion rupees after finance costs surged 59 percent.
The mobile-phone operator's attempts to reduce debt by selling its telecommunications tower unit Reliance Infratel Ltd. have proven unsuccessful. A planned $2 billion share sale of its submarine cable assets in Singapore, hasn't taken place after it was announced last year. The company signed two $1 billion deals with Alcatel-Lucent SA and Ericsson AB this year to reduce the cost of running its networks.
Reliance Industries' net income fell in four of the last five quarters on declining natural gas output from India's biggest field, the KG-D6 block in the Bay of Bengal.
Yesterday's agreement gives Mukesh the right to use Anil's fiber-optic network for the next 25 years, said a Reliance Industries official, who declined to be identified as the information is private. Reliance Industries, which runs the world's largest refining complex, also plans to build a network on its own and strike similar ventures with other partners, the official said.
"This is probably the beginning of more cooperation between the two, at least in the telecom sector," said Kotak.

COVINGTON, Ky. — The sun came up again today, as is has the morning after the three other Astros losses to open the season and as it will every other morning up to an beyond last year's 0-8 start, should they get there.
But for a team that in 2010 spent the last four months lamenting that their bad start left their second half run for naught, they are well on their way to replaying that scenario — at least the first half of it.
It's been different in that they have been playing these on the road, similar in that they've been playing good-to-great teams (Giants, Phillies and Cardinals last year, Phillies and Reds this year) and different in that they lost early last year with extremely poor run production. They have been outscored 29-13 through four games with a league-worst 7.79 ERA as opposed to 26-6 through four last year.
So if you want to say it's better now, who are we to stop you?
A couple other notes from the start:
• The walks are glaring. The five walks that J.A. Happ allowed in his first two innings yesterday are as many as the Astros have drawn in four games, and one of those was intentional. While the Astros are somehow just 14th of 16 with their .215 batting average, they are last with a .257 on-base percentage.
Their first three games were against Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt – three of the stingiest in the league with their free passes, especially Lee, who had a historically good K:BB ratio of 10.3:1 last year. But this figure will have to improve if the offense is going to avoid a repeat.
Astros walks
Michael Bourn 2 (1 intentional)
Humberto Quintero 1
Angel Sanchez 1
• The game story explores the Astros' inability to keep games close and also gets a little bit into why J.A. Happ's paying for a high walk rate was waiting to happen.
On the first point, here's an update of a graphic we pulled out in spring training, a composite line score for the first four games of the season.
Inning | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R |
Astros | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 13 |
Opponent | 9 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 29 |
• Not that it has mattered in the last three games, but pinch-hitters are 0-for-6 with three strikeouts.
• How long do you think the losing streak will go?
Game 5 tonight: Astros (Nelson Figueroa) at Reds (Edinson Volquez)
Game 6 Thursday: Astros (Brett Myers) at Reds (Sam LeCure)
Game 7 Friday: Marlins (Ricky Nolasco) at Astros (Wandy Rodriguez)
Game 8 Saturday: Marlins (Javier Vazquez) at Astros (Bud Norris)
Game 9 Sunday: Marlins (Anibal Sanchez) at Astros (J.A. Happ)
• As spoiled in the above list, there is another game tonight when the Astros try to avoid going a full winless trip through the rotation. Game time is 6:10 p.m. in Real America.

@Indy: Definitely the way most people will probably do it, but if Horde is anything like Alliance, you don't get the portal right away. We open up our vendors, including the Alliance version of this guy, then have to do about 10 more quests before we get the portal back to SW active. (Granted, we DO have a forge. /tease)
But yeah, I definitely remember when my boyfriend and I effectively bought our raid leader Server First Blacksmithing. No one had snagged it yet and we're those weird nerds that think there's prestige in it, I guess. So we were tossing bars and such at him, I was in IF smelting the ores for him so he didn't need to spend the time, etc. etc. The WORST part was everytime I'd fly my ass out there (Time was ticking, no time to open the portal!) he'd be like "Oh, wait, I need Hardened Elementium to buy this, not Pyrium. Can you go buy me some in Ironforge?" /facepalm YES, SHOPPING LIST, YES! /agree
I could have sworn i smelted bars at that forge must check again
ReplyDeleteRunning the risk of sounding like a complete noob here but I never would have thought to bring all the goods required to purchase all the plans at once. I typically buy one, train to the next skill-up, buy another, etc.
Then when I get to max skill I gather the mats to buy the ones I want/need at that point. Never really saw the point of buying recipes I couldn't use when the mats costs are so high.
This list helps to make the purchase process easier. Thanks.

– Flame Steals Data Even When Computers Are Not Connected to the Internet (Occupy Corporatism, June 13, 2012):
Experts specializing in malware from Bitdefender have uncovered a special capability in Flame's code that allows the virus to steal data from computers that are not connected to the internet or networked machines.
Flame can move stolen data to a USB memory stick plugged into an infected harddrive. Bitdefender assert that this ability has never been witnessed before. This cyberespionage virus will move stolen information to an USB outlet, then seemingly wait for the chance to upload it to the malware controllers once the infected computer links to the internet.

everything is fair game. Really it comes down to relativism. Society tells us that each and every special interest is right for those involved.
While I agree they absolutely have the right to believe whatever they want to, but it doesn't make it any more true. I think we all realize deep down that all opinions are not equal, so why does society force us to pretend they are? - 08-29-2004, 05:40 PM
i think fat people should be prepared to be made fun of. it might solve the epidemic in this country. people used to make fun of me cuz i was so skinny but i didnt cry about it like a helpless baby. only a weak person would do that and then go found there own special interest group with other people that are to weak to solve the problem. people in this country are just way to sensitive and our gonvernment caters to them. that is why our rights are going down the drain. imho
I don't understand why they don't just do something about their problem. I used to be fat and I did something about it, not fat any more. People just want to make up excuses and blame someone else, it is never their own fault for eating too much.

She wanted to become a BBW model. And it made me laugh to see all of these skinny girls competing with her and laughing behind her back at auditions. But she ended up with a modeling contract and they were left behind stage.
Another woman was over 300 pounds, unhealthy, and had to be wheeled around in a wheel chair by her husband, who wasn't that far behind her in weight. I truly felt sorry for her to see how she was treated when her husband took her out to dinner. But at the end of the show, she had received the gastric bypass surgery and began losing weight. IMO, too many obese people are using that operation as a cushion but in her case, she needed it.
Lastly was this lazy, fat ass 17 year old kid who did nothing to help himself. He weighed in over 300 pounds and all the **** he did was eat crap. His mom put him on a diet and he's eating Cheetos as he's driving home from school so that she don't see him. The fat dumbass forgot to clean his cheese powdered fingers though. He ate like a pig and all he talked about was that he can eat anything he wanted because he was going to get the gastric bypass surgery and his insurance was going to pay for it. Near the end of the show, his doctor told him that he qualifies for the operation and the fatass was all smiles then. But she also told him that, after doing a blood test on him, his thyroids were in good shape. At the end of the show, it was noted that 2 months had passed since the airing of the show and the insurance have never approved the operation for him. I laughed at that fat ass loser. He seemed too lazy to realize that no insurance is going to approve that operation for a 17 yr. old with a ****load of metabolism just because they're too lazy to use it.Last edited by TheChosen1; 08-30-2004 at 10:01 AM.

So the BBW beat out a lot of the skinny woman as far as getting a modeling contract? DAMN I bet that had to be a slap in the face for those skinny girls.
Did the fat woman look better than the skinny girls or did she just have a better attitude?
Also do any of you know how insurance and doctors determine who is eligible for the bypass surgery? Just curious as I hear gov. will be changing how easy it is to get the surgery. - 08-30-2004, 08:01 PM
That 17 year old woulda been really pissed off to find out what he's allowed to eat after getting that surgery...

And that alone makes her look better than the skinnier ones. Of course, there were a few others who got modeling contracts as well, but she stood out the most IMO.
I can relate to that because I once dated an obese woman. This woman was 225 pounds but she dressed beautifully, spoke well, and all an all, a very beautiful woman. I, honestly, didn't notice her size or shape. Funny thing is that she had a younger sister who was very cute and had a killer body on her. My gf told me stories of how they would go clubbing and guys would try hitting on her instead of her sister and it used to piss her sister off.
As far as the insurance is concerned Nuteboy, they determine it, via the doctor report. If the hospital does blood work and find that the thyroids are not working as they should, then the insurance may work with the patient on the surgery. But if all is working well, then the patient is shot to hell. Believe me, I picked up some weight since my 2 knee surgeries and my doctor and lawyers are having a hell of a time just getting the workmen comp insurance to approve a weight loss program for me. So, being that I'm experienced in the gym and with fitness, I told them to chill. I'll do it myself. Besides, I'm not about to get on some crappy Opti-Fast kind of system.TheChosen12012 A.P.F California State Champion& 2 Class Record Holder (Deadlifts)

Mikeler! hows it going buddy, in light of the RIP control price drop, would it still hold the same place in you reviews?
RIP Control at least in the 16g is just not for me. It has some very big strengths but also very big weaknesses. Plus, it is a PITA for me to string up.
hi mikeler. is 55lbs black mamba main and micro fibre cross are okay tension for 95sq.in. racquet? or 59 lbs? thanks in advance.
Don't be fooled by my avatar. I have always used 98 inch rackets or higher. I have not tried Black Mamba either so it is hard for me to say.
The Klip Legend I'm using is going to break soon. I put in a few string savers last night to prolong the life. RacquetTune shows less than 5% tension loss which is pretty darn impressive.
You must have done a good job keeping your gut racquet at home when it's wet. Legend lost 18% tension on me, but I noticed that most of the loss happened after playing in damp conditions. I'm surprised that it hasn't lasted longer. Maybe it's the EXO3 ports doing what they are supposed to do, which is allow the strings to move. There's probably more sawing action with those racquets.
I have been keeping my rackets in the trunk as little as possible. Luckily, I have not encountered any wet courts...yet. Every string moves like crazy on me in the Exo. Thank goodness I only have mild OCD. There are 3 severe notches where I put string savers. I think there is another intersection or two that I'll slip them in tonight. Not worth the extra cost or stringing effort IMHO. I hit with the Discho for a game this weekend and used Legend the rest of the time. I prefer the Discho but it was also strung 6 pounds lower. Considering how hard it is to get gut through the blocked holes of the Exo, I think the only gut I'll consider now is full Wilson gut again.
I think it's going to depend on several factors including the type of game you play and the racquet you use. On my PK Ki 5x, Legend gave me 2-3 times the playable life of a durable multi like DM or PPA. I didn't notice a big difference in playability, so the durability was the primary advantage of natural gut. Lately, I've been breaking multis prematurely on shanks, and gut is better able to absorb that kind of abuse, so for me that's another advantage of gut. The main drawback for me is keeping gut away from moisture. I'm still using multis as a backup for that reason. On Mikeler's EXO3 racquet, the strings have more movement. I think friction plays a bigger role in wearing down strings with those racquets. The EXO3's have a reputation for being hard on strings, and I think it may be that gut wears down faster on those racquets because of the friction. Pacific Classic is softer than Klip Legend, but it's wearing down a bit faster for me. My game has changed and gotten more aggressive, so I'm going to say that I can't compare them on durability, but Classic has shown that it is strong enough to withstand my shanks, so I'm sticking with some kind of natural gut as my go to string for now.
I did not get any extra time from Wilson gut in my PK 7Gs versus Discho or PPA so full beds of gut just don't make sense for my game. I'm guessing heavy spin just eats through gut too quickly.
Klip Legend is holding on barely. I used up all my string savers last night. Maybe I'll buy some more today and put them in.
got a little GE soreness from using the BBO crosses past it's elasticity life. time to try a mikeler multi cross. thanks for this thread bud.
I have only tried a few polys but BBO was by far the stiffest of the ones I tried. It has scared me from trying anything from Luxilon again.
Any posters here use a Volkl C10? Which of the top multis perform well in that racquet? Forgot what plush meant until demoing the C10.
Should try the Vantage BC series or some of the old Yonex racquets from the 90s. Like bamboo. Currently use a Radical mp.
I broke the Klip Legend last night. Was hoping that would break me out of my recent slump, but alas the problem is the player not the equipment. I'm not going to write a review for it because it was just average in every respect. Perhaps if I strung it lower my experience would have been better.
Perhaps I'll try that out sometime...OK, I know I will. Is the Pacific better than the Wilson/old Babolat gut?
You were doing more "real" damage with your backhand last night. I notice you don't even run around your backhand anymore.
Hey, Mike---I finally got my set of Discho Microfibre last week. It was impressive, but at 57 lbs (my usual tension for a soft multi), it felt way tight. So, you still think 54 is the magic number for this one? (I still owe you an ahi burger, or two.)
Classic 16 is definitely softer than Legend 16. I have about 8.5 hours on Classic now, and I think it's going to break in the next hour or two, but I've been breaking lots of strings lately, so I can't compare the durability to Legend, but I'm pretty sure it withstands shanks better than typical multis and lasts longer than multis too. I don't think I play any better with Classic than I do with Legend. In fact, I think I might be better at the net with Legend because it's more crisp. Classic seems to have less power which is good and bad. I'm pleasantly surprised sometimes to see balls land just inside the baseline. I'm going to try Tonic 16 and Classic 16L sometime in the near future. I'm not that optimistic about Classic 16L because the durability of the 16 gauge is not quite what I wanted, but I already bought it and might as well try it. I think I do prefer Classic over Legend because of the softness. Playability is close. Durability is a question mark. I would not say it's 100x better.
I wish I could cite some kind of injury as a reason for the result last night but nothing was hurting me except my pride. :cry: I went back down to 50 pounds last night on DM. In the cooler weather, 54 does not have quite the pop I like in the Exo. For me not to ace ssgator80 even once is a crime. The Wilson gut had this huge sweet spot and very noticeable power and spin increase versus any multis I've used. I was expecting the same thing with the Klip but it was just very average. I don't want average for $26 a pack. Ssgator80 could buy 13 cans of crappy Penn Championship balls with that money. :twisted:
What tension did you string it at? I might be purchasing a new racquet with this string...will be my 1st experience with gut.
so, Mikeler, after a long while i'm wondering on a current best budget multi reel (90-150$)... any best candidates? thanks.
60 pounds on my lockout machine. If you can go up to $140 or $150 per reel, I'd definitely get Discho Microfibre or Signum Pro Micronite.
thanks!----- those reels seem like hard to find... Signum only sells pricey reels in Europe, and Discho doesn't even have reels
it is so dope when fresh and strung lower tension...up until 6 hrs or so. too short a life for the money unless sponsored.
is Ray out of bzness? he doesnt answer to my e-mail. i would like to buy a reel of micro fibre. How much is it `mikeler?
On the contrary, he is extremely busy. I'm not sure if he sells reels very often. He had to special order mine. I'm running low again now...
I just sent Ray an email today and got a quick response. He said there are some things coming out next year that he is excited about. Can't wait to hear about them.
thanks mikeler. im going to play with black mamba main and micro fibre crosses @ 59lbs today. c how it goes... if i like it might buy a reel with this strings from Ray.
Iontec Black plays really nice and comfortable for me. I crossed it with Microfibre a couple of weeks ago and broke the Micro on a shank while still warming up. Planning on trying it again in the next few weeks.
I have not bought Iontec yet, was just thinking about trying it. Crazy how you broke a cross on a shank. I've only done that will full poly.
I know... The string snapped right at the top. It felt really nice and I'm anxious to try it again. The Iontec Black will surprise alot of people. It plays really comfortable and has great durability. So far, I don't feel any pain or twinges.
They're here... These are the 3 prototype strings from Genesis. All look like high quality offerings:
^ any insight on what tension to string? would be useful seeing how you received a single set (unless you're very good at estimating).

Smells simelar to the orginal, just with mint. I like it, still sensual with a refreshing twist. But its more a fall/winter fragrance
I love this scent so much. Mint notes are my absolute favorite, but they're so hard to come by in womens' fragrances! The way the mint in this scent is presented though is so pretty and subtle. Makes me think of drinking sweet tea with mint leaves. My only complaint is that it only seems to last a couple hours on me.
Givenchy has really gone overboard with their Very Irresistible flankers - but I have to say, this is the best Summer edition they ever made. Something about the mint note added to the mix, makes this refreshing and wonderful. It always makes me feel good wearing it. I'm glad I can usually find this on ebay, because it's a scent I continue to reach for in the warmer months. I always find I get many compliments on anything I wear from the 'Very Irresistible' lineup.
I liked it, but I found the notes of milk too persistant for me.
I bought it unsniffed and I hadn't expected this strong smell of star anise although the anise print on the bottle could have prompted me for this detail!
The star anise is the note I find most persistent in that scent. It's not among my favourite ingredients but at least it is in perfect connection with the name - it gives the notion of cocktails, alcohol, absynthe. Definitely for anise lovers!
The rest of the notes is an obscure mist to me. Probably the rose gives the flowery background.
It's not heavy, quite wearable in summer but still not as refreshing as many summer fragrances are, in my opinion.
On me staying power isn't very good - I have to reapply every 2 or 3 hours.
This is a very refreshing summer fragrance but bought it unsniffed and worried coz it remembers me bad times when i was wearing a baby fragrance and that's similar to it:(
This is one of my favorites, specially for hot summerday. Although it's floral aromatic , staying power of it is incredible, even I can smell it after shower. Perfect and lovely ! Anyway, Givenchy never disappoints me :)
Mostly depends which kind of skin wears this parfume.
Personally I found the note of milk too much persistent.
Great the mint at the very first start, but then blows away very soon.
Absolutely to wear in summer!
I expected from this some kind of floral-fruity thing, but got on myself a tea! Really, I sometimes ask my grandma to make me a very special tea and it smelled like this at the beginning. There was a hint of daisies in this perfume (you know, chamomilla, those used in teas). Very original and invoking memories.
I agree with Monique, the option to change along the day is interesting. In our tropical country this Summer Cocktail works very well, giving a short-lived freshness and supporting an occasional change of mood. I'm a summer fragrances addict therefore.
Another women's fragrance that I like a lot!
The bottle is Red, which is a color that makes me on. The smell is great and a little bit fresh, maybe, because of the mint notes.
Another Givenchy best seller!
and i like the design of that bottle than the original
i have a sample of it my cousin gave me when she was in the airport really it's very nice more then the originalas it's more quite
I bought this perfume on a trip to Copenhagen after having tried it several times, and I really like it!
It is less sweet than many other summer fragrances and I enjoy the mint in it, which adds freshness to this fragrance. it is a bit different and the bottle, not the least important, is lovely!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cyprinid Species
- - Botia almorhae
Botia almorhae 4 Attachment(s) Family: Cobitidae, Subfamily Botiinae Common Names: Yo Yo Loach, Reticulated Loach, Pakistani Loach Origin and Habitat: India, Nepal and Bangladesh, possibly Pakistan [see comments under Discussion]. Although a riverine fish, it inhabits calm water pools of highland streams, while the juveniles are usually found in lowland waters. Compatibility/Temperament: Generally peaceful, but like all loaches (to some degree) they establish a social structure within the group and there will be some in-fighting though not damaging if the fish are maintained in a group of a t least five and there are numerous hiding places in the aquarium. They can be combined with other loach species. Long-finned upper fish should be avoided to prevent possible fin nipping; suitable upper fish are barbs, rasbora, danios, characins. Yo Yo Loach Diet Mainly carnivorous by nature, in the aquarium this fish is omnivorous therefore will accept most prepared foods. Sinking pellet and tablet foods are important as these are bottom feeders though they do take food mid-water. Frozen bloodworms and shrimp will be relished, and for larger fish small earthworms. An avid snail eater. Several aquarists have mentioned that loaches will sometimes eat live plants, with swords (Echinodorus sp) being particular favourites; signs of this will be several small holes eaten in the leaves. Other plant species (crypts, Aponogeton, Anubias, Java Fern) are left alone. Avoid overfeeding as this fish can be greedy. Size Attains 6 inches. Minimum Tank Suggestion 48 inches in length. Water parameters for Yo Yo Loach Soft to moderately hard (< 12 dGH) slightly acidic to slightly basic (pH 6 to 7.5) water, temperature 22-28C/76-82F. Preferably in the lower range of temperature. Description This commonly-available loach may be seen under several common names including Reticulated loach, Lohachata Botia, Pakistani Loach, Almorha Loach and Yo Yo Loach probably being the most common. The latter, coined by Ken Childs of Dolphin International fish importers in Los Angeles, comes from the pattern on the fish's side resembling a series of brown "Y" and white "O" markings which is more discernible in young fish. The name "Pakistani" loach may be the most inaccurate, since this species is not known to occur in Pakistan [see additional comments below]. This species is very active, and as noted under Compatibility/Temperament needs a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding spots so it can be kept in a group of at least 5 or 6, otherwise some members may be relentlessly picked on and succumb to stress and injury. A riverine aquascape would be ideal; a substrate of fine smooth gravel with smooth rocks representing boulders, caves made from bogwood or rock, and subdued lighting partially achieved with floating plants. Plants such as crypts, Anubias and java fern for the lower areas. The current from the filter need not be excessive; this fish prefers quiet pools in its habitat. Water must be stable; like all loaches, this species is intolerant of dissolved organics and nitrates should be kept below 10ppm, which can be achieved with live plants and regular weekly partial water changes. Sexual dimorphism is not obvious until they reach maturity. Males may have a more reticulated body pattern though with the variability within the species this is unreliable. Females will be rounder. Males have reddish coloration around the barbels and mouth--provided this is not a sign of problems with pH and water quality. There are so far no reports of successful spawnings in aquaria. The body markings of the yo yo loaches can vary quite considerably from fish to fish, and as the fish matures the pattern fills in to be more reticulated; the photos below illustrate this variance. From time to time a fish may "gray out" as it is commonly called, usually two together and often during "fights" or when feeding. The base colour darkens considerably; the fourth photo illustrates this phase. Like all Botia species, this one possesses a pair of very sharp spines under the eye sockets; these spines can be extended when the loach feels threatened, and care must be taken not to entangle the spines in nets as it can damage the fish. The fish is intolerant of poor water quality, including high nitrate levels. Regular partial water changes of 50% weekly plus the plants should achieve stable water parameters. This species is highly prone to parasitic (such as ich) and protozoan infestations and poor water conditions are a major factor. Treatment must be carefully monitored, as the fish, like all loaches, is scaleless and thus highly sensitive to any medications or chemicals. Never use salt; and other treatments when necessary should usually be half-strength. Prevention is by far the better. When buying loaches, please be very observant with their behavior and body structure. You are advised to avoid at all costs loaches that appear to have chronic skinny disease. Symptoms will include their obvious skinny appearance where the skull and spinal column are almost visible and concaved stomach. Recommended treatment for this is Levamisole hydrochloride. Ask your local fish store for their sources. Here again, avoidance/prevention is better. The exact species name of this fish is still uncertain. Originally it was deemed to be Botia lohachata, the name assigned by B.L. Chaudhuri in 1912, and it is still widely seen under this name. Botia is derived from an Asian word for soldier or warrior. In the early 1990's it was suggested that this species epithet was a synonym for Botia almorhae, the true species, which had been described in 1831 by J.E. Gray. Dr. Maurice Kottelat (2004), an acknowledged authority on this family, assigned the name B. lohachata as a synonym of B. almorhae and not a distinct species in his major revision of the genus which he separated into seven genera. Steven Grant (2007) has proposed that B. almorhae may in fact consist of five distinct but closely-related species: Botia almorhae Gray, 1831 Botia birdi Chaudhuri, 1909 Botia lohachata Chaudhuri 1912 Botia sp. "Kosi", possibly a variant of B. almorhae Botia sp. "Teesta", possibly a variant of B. almorhae The striking similarity in pattern among these fish certainly makes this feasible; the California Academy of Sciences--Ichthyology has accepted the validity of the first three distinct species. The authors of Loaches Online accept B. almorhae as the species of the subject fish. The occurrence in Pakistan is restricted to the species B. birdi described by Chaudhuri in 1909. The subfamily Botiinae within the family Cobitidae is also uncertain; Nalbant (2002, 2004) and Kottelat (2004) raised the subfamily to family status as Botiidae and divided it into two tribes: Tribe Leptobotiini - includes the genera Leptobotia, Parabotia, Sinibotia. Tribe Botiini - Botia, Chromobotia, Syncrossus, Yasuhikotakia. Tang et.al. (2005) agreed. Slechtova et. al. (2006) basically agreed but proposed two Subfamilies rather than tribes, and moved one genus: Subfamily Leptobotiinae - Leptobotia, Parabotia. Subfamily Botiinae - Botia, Chromobotia, Sinibotia, Syncrossus, Yasuhikotakia. References: Grant, S.

COLUMBIA — LB Dantzler homered and drove in two runs Friday, and South Carolina made coach Chad Holbrook's debut a success with a 4-3 victory over Liberty.
The Gamecocks won their season opener for the 22nd time in 23 years. But not before a rousing pre-game tribute to former coach and current athletic director Ray Tanner.
It was the first time since the 1997 season Tanner hadn't been in the dugout.
He had his No. 1 jersey retired and the street running in front of Carolina Stadium was renamed "Tanner Way" in honor of the coach who won the College World Series in 2010 and 2011.
Dantzler put the Gamecocks up for good with a solo homer in the second. He added a RBI sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and South Carolina eventually led 4-0.
The Flames scored three times in the eighth to tighten things up, but Tyler Webb got the final five outs to give Holbrook a victory in his first game as head coach after 19 seasons as an assistant.
"I won a game here, that's pretty cool," Holbrook said. "It means a lot."
First, though, came a final goodbye to Tanner, whose bid for a third consecutive national crown last year ended with a loss to Arizona in the College World Series championship series.
Tanner and his family stood between home plate and the pitcher's mound as Columbia mayor Steve Benjamin and several state leaders offered tributes. There was a video retrospective from Tanner's introduction following the 1996 season through his six trips to Omaha to chase the title.
His jersey was the first to be retired and his name and No. 1 were painted on the wall in left field. Both on-deck circles also contained Tanner's name and number.
When it was over, Tanner thanked the sold-out crowd and said it was many more people than him who were responsible for South Carolina's success.
"I am forever grateful and hope to be around here for many, many years to come," he said. "Now, it's time. Let's play some baseball."
Tanner's first game from the stands was a close one. Liberty had the tying and go-ahead runs on in the eighth when Webb struck out Danny Grauer.
"I wanted to ruin his day," said Liberty coach Jim Toman, a former player and assistant under Tanner.
The Gamecocks were far from perfect. They were outhit, eight to five, and made three errors. Still, they were able to hang on in the season opener.
Dantzler said it was odd at first to not see Tanner in the dugout – the athletic director watched from a seat to the left of the home dugout – but the players adjusted as the game went along.
Tanner had purposely stayed away from the baseball complex during the fall during workouts. He was at the stadium Thursday to speak with his former players and wish them well.
"I wouldn't say it was emotional," Dantzler said. "But it was definitely good to have him back."
Jordan Montgomery threw six scoreless innings for the victory while Webb earned his first save taking over for Matt Price, the school's alltime leader in that category who gave up his final season to turn pro.
Liberty starter Carson Herndon allowed only one run in five innings, but took the loss.

Dear interested readers,
The Path of the Saints requires a lot of patience with faith. If you have enough of both you are bound to succeed. Why people give up even after 30 years is only because they never had complete faith. They always tried to test the path through intellectual reasoning. This is the role of the 'mind' which does not let the seeker go to the end. That is the case with Brian Hines. I hope he gets to read this.

Posted Sun 17th of April 2011
I found myself alone in a world where there are billions of people, and in my house, were my parents, my sister, yet I was still alone in my world. No one understands me, they never did, nor did they really make an attempt to get to me as a person. Being fifteen is a very hard age to live through; I couldn't wait until it was over and I was older, and out of school on my own. I played in the band, yes a band nerd maybe that is what my problem was, I could get lost very easily in my music and I always sort of did my own thing. The summer of 1983 was hot and boring as it always was out there on that farm. A person could find work in every corner if they wanted it. I was surrounded by uncles, grandparents, parents, sister and tons of cousins. But in the summer of 83 my aunt and uncle were having some of my aunts cousins over to stay with them. There was a girl Carrie, and Lonnie, she was a year younger than me, and he was a year older than I was. They pulled in the driveway in an old car with a rattling loud muffler. The girl got out; she was heavy set with her hair pulled tightly back in a ponytail. She pulled suitcases out of the backseat and struggled to carry them up to the trailer. Lonnie stepped out, his hair blowing back; he wore a tight pair of jeans and white t-shirt. My summer just started to get less boring when he stepped out of the car. I continued to watch from my bedroom window as he walked up the sidewalk to follow his sister.
Later that night, I went to my aunt and uncles house, I walked in to find Lonnie stretched out on the sofa, and Carrie was sitting with my aunt playing a dice game at the table. I walked in and flopped down in the nearest chair. Lonnie looked over at me, my aunt introduced us all. I sat watching television, not trying to look at him. He was extremely cute, and we were not related so I could indeed look at him all I wanted. He asked me how old I was, and I told him. We made some simple conversation, when he got up and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I jumped at the chance, I went out and took him down to the creek, I rolled up my jeans, and it was starting to get dark outside when I dipped my toes into the cool water. We walked and talked and had a decent time. We continued this walk every evening for a week. One night we were sitting on the bank with our feet in the water trying to snag tadpoles with a net that's holes were simply not going to work they were too big. We chatted about school, and the differences of living in the big city and out here in the middle of now where. He leaned in closer to me, and his lips brushed against mine. I closed my eyes, and let him overtake my lips, his mouth was so soft, and his tongue probed my mouth until I opened and let him have my tongue. He kissed me for what seemed like an eternity as I leaned back I opened my eyes, only to find his blue eyes staring directly into mine.
"Your lips are so soft," he said.
"Thank you, I guess, "I stammered.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend," "I mean well do you have one now," he asked?
"Yes I have had boyfriends, but no, I don't have one right now," I answered.
He leaned in and kissed me again, I responded by turning my body closer to his and resting my large tits against his shirt. Pulling away, he stood up, I followed his lead and got up, and he held my hand on the way back up the driveway. That night I lay in my bed thinking about this guy, and how sweet he was. I ran my fingers across my lips and thought about him. I moved my hand under my little cotton t-shirt and began to rub my pussy through my panties. It felt so good to touch myself; I moved my hands into my panties and began to rub my tight little clit. My pussy was wet, and I loved the feeling of those soft lips that were around my tight little hole. I massaged my little clit until I felt an orgasm coming; I moved my fingers inside my pussy as the orgasm squeezed my fingers inside my pussy.
The next morning I was working on the farm trying to get hay from the horse stall, I walked into the barn and could hear a muffled voice up in the hay loft. At that I decided to be quiet and I walked around to where I could see up in the hay loft. It was Lonnie up in the loft, he was talking. I was trying to be quiet so I could listen to what was going on. I heard his sister's voice; she was trying to speak quietly to him.
"Lonnie, do you plan on fucking her," Carrie asked?
"I might, if she lets me but she won't be as good as you are," Lonnie stated.
"Are you going to fuck me now or are you going to wait for someone to come and catch us," she said.
I moved up the haystack where I could see what was going on. Curiosity was going to kill me; I had never seen anyone have sex, let alone brother and sister fucking each other. I saw her naked lying on the straw, her tits were big and her nipples were hard. She lay with her legs apart; her pussy was covered in thick black curly hair. Lonnie had stripped down and was in his underwear. I started to climb down changing my mind about what I wanted to see, but something kept me there watching secretly. He moved over her and began to suck her tits. He pulled her nipples with his teeth and she moaned loudly. His free hand moved down between her legs. He spread her fat pussy lips apart and I could see from where I was she had a big clit, and a huge pussy at that. He stuck his fingers inside of his sister and began to finger fuck her hard. She moaned and squealed begging for him to do it harder, and harder. He got between her legs where he had more leverage and he banged her big pussy.
"More, Lonnie, More, fuck me with your big hard dick," she squealed.
He stood up and pulled off his underwear, he had a nice smooth ass and he turned sideways, I could see his big cock. I didn't know how big they were supposed to be, but his looked huge. He bent down between his sisters legs, and with his hand he guided his cock into her big wet looking pussy. I watched but didn't have a real great view, but I could see him pumping her pussy as she continued to squeal and moan. He pumped for what seemed like an eternity, when he pulled out of her, he then moved up by her head, still on his knees, he had his cock in his hand up by her face. I watched as his hand moved back and forth over his cock, the head was big and purple, he continued to stroke his cock until he came, the cum came out quickly from his cock and hit his sister square in the mouth and on her face. Her tongue darted out to lick the cum off her lips. She moved her fingers into her big pussy; I could see her stroking her clit, as her legs stiffened out. He moved down between her legs, and took her legs bending them up over her head. Her fingers continued to play with her pussy, as he began to finger her ass, he stuck in a finger, and she screamed loudly. Rather than stopping he rammed her ass harder and harder until she was begging for him to stop. Finally, she came, and she came hard when she did her legs jerked out straight away from him, and she sat up hanging on to her brother.
He moved back up to her head as he lay down, he leaned over her shoving his dick into her mouth, she choked and gagged I could hear it from where I was. As he continued to fuck her mouth hard. He made her swallow it all in her throat. I could hear her choking as he fucked her, he pulled his cock out of her mouth and he came all over her face again.
I climbed down the ladder and tried to slip quietly out. I went behind the barn and thought about what I had just seen. I wasn't sure if I was turned on or sick since they were blood kin. I wondered how long they had been at it. One thing was for sure he wasn't going to kiss me or touch me again. And he didn't like it, I never told him what I saw, or anyone else for that matter. He called me a chicken, and at 15 maybe I was but the next year I lost my virginity to someone that I was in love with, but I never forgot about the brother and sister fucking in the barn.

Once as a teenager hid in the cupboard and watched my best friend give her brother a blow job. When they started fucking for real she was always going to smuggle me in so I could watch but there was never the right time. But like you I've never forgotten the thrill of watching sister & brother together. Cool story!

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) take their battle for mobile supremacy to court on Monday in one of the biggest-ever technology patent trials, a case with the potential to reshape a fast-evolving market they now dominate.
The tech titans will lock horns in a federal courtroom in San Jose, California, just miles from Apple's headquarters. The stakes are high, with Samsung facing potential U.S. sales bans of its Galaxy smartphones and tablet computers, and Apple in a pivotal test of its worldwide patent litigation strategy. Both sides are seeking financial damages from the other.
Samsung has rapidly overtaken Apple, creator of the iPhone and iPad, and Nokia (NOK1V.HE) to become the world's largest smartphone maker. Together, Apple and Samsung account for more than half of smartphone sales globally.
Apple sued Samsung last year in San Jose, claiming its smartphones and tablets slavishly copied the iPhone and iPad. The South Korean company countersued. Since then, the two have expanded their fight to courtrooms in nearly a dozen other countries.
At this trial, Apple is seeking at least $2.53 billion in damages, though U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh could triple that figure if she finds Samsung willfully infringed Apple's patents.
The dispute has reached deep into the tech sector, with companies including Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), IBM Corp (IBM.N), Nokia and Research in Motion Ltd (RIM.TO) filing court papers this week to try to keep their own patent licensing agreements from being disclosed during the trial.
A loss for Samsung could lead to permanent sales bans against products including the flagship Galaxy S III phone, said Nick Rodelli, a lawyer and adviser to institutional investors for CFRA Research in Maryland. While the S III is not at issue in the trial, if Apple prevails the company could later ask Koh to block sales of that product.
Upward of 20 percent of Samsung's global consolidated profit could be affected if it loses this case, he said.
"Samsung is a big company with operations all over the world, but this is actually a needle-mover for them on the bottom line," Rodelli said.
Apple will try to use Samsung documents to show its rival knowingly violated the iPhone maker's intellectual property rights, while Samsung argues Apple is trying to stifle competition to maintain "exorbitant" profit.
In a statement Friday, Samsung said Apple has been "free-riding" on its technology "while using excessive legal claims against our products in their attempt to limit consumer choice and discourage innovation."
An Apple spokesman reiterated the company's previous statement that it wasn't a coincidence Samsung's latest products looked a lot like the iPhone and iPad, and that Sa msung blatantly copied its products.
A loss for Apple could be significant, not only if it were ordered to pay financial damages but also because of the competitive threats. That is because the Galaxy S III is a better phone than the latest iPhone 4S, said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive of Destination Wealth Management.
"Apple is all about slowing Samsung down," said Yoshikami, whose fund holds Apple shares. "Apple will try to buy time until iPhone 5 launches," which is expected in October.
Apple shipped 26 million iPhones in the quarter ended in June, fewer than in the previous quarter and well below the 28 million to 29 million that Wall Street had predicted.
Samsung is estimated to have increased sales to around 50 million smartphones. That helped the South Korean giant to report a record quarterly profit of $5.9 billion on Friday.
In the past few days, the companies have supplied some detailed financial data in court filings, such as a disclosure on Thursday that Apple's gross margins for its iPads are about half of those for the iPhones. The information was included in newly unsealed papers and was not previously known, giving Wall Street a rare glimpse into Apple's financial breakdown for specific products.
The companies had initially sought to keep many documents from public view, but Judge Koh rejected the bulk of the requests on July 17. Her order came hours after Reuters filed court papers opposing the companies' efforts to seal the documents.
The lawyers on both sides are well known: Apple is represented by law firm Morrison & Foerster, which led Oracle Corp's (ORCL.O) patent case against Google Inc (GOOG.O) earlier this year over the Android operating system. Samsung, whose products run on Android, hired lawyers from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, which also represents Google and which led Yahoo Inc's (YHOO.O) short-lived patent lawsuit against Facebook (FB.O) this year.
A 10-member jury will hear evidence over at least four weeks, and it must reach a unanimous decision for Apple or Samsung to prevail on any of their claims.
Apple says Samsung violated four of its design patents, which cover the look and feel of its products. It also says Samsung has infringed three patents for technology such as how the phone distinguishes between scroll and multi-touch gestures.
Meanwhile, Samsung says Apple violated patents on mobile communications systems, as well as features like taking a photo on a phone and seamlessly emailing it.
In a last-ditch attempt to avoid a trial, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook and Samsung Vice Chairman Choi Gee-sung participated in a mediation on July 16. But a settlement prior to trial is unlikely, sources have told Reuters.
It has been tough going so far for Samsung in the case. Koh halted U.S. sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, giving Apple a significant early win. This was followed by a pretrial ban on the Galaxy Nexus phone. Samsung has appealed both orders.
The stakes for Apple are also high due to competitive threats from other Asian phone makers such as China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd HWT.UL, Rodelli said.
"It's arguably the most commercially and doctrinally significant U.S. patent case in the modern era," he said.
The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, is Apple Inc v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al, 11-1846. (Reporting by Dan Levine and Poornima Gupta; Additional reporting by Miyoung Kim in Seoul; Editing by Martha Graybow, Matthew Lewis and Tim Dobbyn)

A delayed wind just arrived from Brazil! August Winds/Ventos de Agosto won Best Mix at the 9th CineMusica Film Festival 2015. The award just arrived and here it is!! Congrats to the whole team!!
Check out this amazing Action Productions Film for Greenpeace I had the pleasure to work on!
Greetings!! Here are a few updates from the past couple of months!
Busy times!! On February and March I've been working on a few projects for the US, UK, Holland, Qatar. Among shorts, documentaries and animations I have been having loads of fun developing sounds for Samsung Galaxy themes!
After premiering in Brazil, Boi Neon is hitting the US starting in April in New York with screenings at the MoMA The Museum of Modern Art and Film Society of Lincoln Center.
I've been working on a new Guardian series these past weeks and received amazing news regarding the Power of Privacy Series that I worked on last year. It won a British Animation Award for the animated sequences. Matthias Hoegg was the animation director! Congrats to the team!!
Very pleased to be part of this! Check out Plus One's amazing showreel. Rock on!!!
After having received many awards and amazing reviews, "Boi Neon" is released in brazilian cinemas!
Check out the cool website with more info on the film: http://www.boineon.com.br/
I'm extremely happy to say that "Boi Neon", Gabriel Mascaro's most recent film has won the Special Jury Award at Venice Film Festival and an Honorable Mention at the Toronto Film Festival. Two festivals two awards, amazing start!! Congrats to the amazing team!!
Next stop London BFI, Poland, Adelaide and Rio de Janeiro! More updates to come!!
It's already out the first of five episodes of the Guardian video series "The Power of Privacy", which I'm doing the sound design and mix for.
In episode one, Aleks discovers how mobile technology, photography and even the humble chimney have changed the way we think about privacy. Then she travels to the US to meet Max, a professional digital detective. Armed with only her name, he's challenged to gather as much information on her personal and business affairs as possible. What he finds is staggering.
Check it out!
Greetings! A lot has happened lately and therefore the lack of updates since 2014!
The year started off very well with a new feature by Gabriel Mascaro. An amazing project, which has the sound design a key element for the storytelling and an extremely challenging one. The film is on its latest stages of post production and will be coming out very soon!
Loads of other projects happened as well over the past months and for several different countries, Brazil, Qatar, UK, Netherlands, Kuwait, USA, and Portugal. On the most recent ones, I can point out "The Shadow", a Mother London film for Stella Artois, a very funny piece for Heineken Champions League by Plus One Amsterdam and "Yulya", a short film by Andre Marques, which premiered at the Vila do Conde Short Film Festival in the beginning of July. A film without any dialogues so extremely dependent on the sound design!
I'm extremely proud to say Ventos de Agosto / August Winds just won best directing and BEST SOUND at Janela Internacional de Cinema Film Festival, in Recife, Brazil!!! Once again...Amazing film, amazing team!!!! Congrats to all!!=)
I'm delighted to annouce that "Madron" has been nominated for a BAFTA Children's Award.
Fingers crossed for the 23rd November when the Awards Ceremony takes place at The Roundhouse in Camden!
Check out the trailler for this investigative thriller I had the pleasure to work on.
According to the latest edition of Sight & Sound | The International Film Magazine this year's discovery at the Locarno Film Festival (famous for discovering new talent) was Ventos de Agosto / August Winds!
"...a dreamy, mysterious contemplation of death and the passing of time set in an isolated village on Brazil's coast. Mascaro seamlessly blends nonfiction observation of rural life and the natural world with quiet drama [...] The result was an oneiric but not too enigmatic tale, with remarkable sound design and imagery."
Once again..amazing film..amazing team!!!=)
I'm extremely pleased to say that I'll be giving a Creative Sound Design Masterclass on Saturday 28th June. This is part of the Training Ground of the "FEST - International Film Festival" in Espinho. All invited!
After a very challenging editing process, which took us to re-construct more than 90% of the film's soundtrack, "August Winds/Ventos de Agosto" was finally mixed. The final stage of the sound post process of Gabriel Mascaro's latest feature film took place in Recife, Brazil at the PortoMedia's estudios. A huge experience and a beautiful film!
Straight from Amsterdam, Smokin' Barrel is one of the most recent production companies I have the pleasure to be working with. This will join companies like Bullion (UK), Planet Jump (UK), Zcene (NL), The Film House (Qatar), 3DD (UK) and Plus One Amsterdam (NL).
I'm extremely pleased to annouce that "A Onda Traz, O Vento Leva!" was the winner of the Best Sound Award at the "7 Cine Musica – Festival de Cinema de Conservatoria 2013", in Brazil. Not only is this award very gratifying for me as the sound designer, but also a confirmation of the amazing work from the whole team! Congrats!!

English Teacher
Dear teachers,
The following sentece seems quite normal to non-natives:
My bag was stolen.
But in another context I happened to see the following:
I had my bag stolen.
As a non-native person, this sentence is quite odd to me becasue I consider "had" as a causative verb and for this reason the meaning is a bit stranger for me.
Would anyone please explain this.
It's perfectly natural even if, taken literally, it doesn't make sense. You are right that it almost makes it sound as if I did something to cause my bag to be stolen. However, we use the construction a lot (in BrE, at least), especially when referring to theft. You can almost read it as "I had (the unfortunate experience of having) my bag stolen".
I had my bag stolen.
He had his watch nicked.
She had her purse snatched.
