What is a Trade Secret?
Have you created a product that is entitled to protection? What do you have to do in order to make sure that your business secrets, known as "trade secrets," are protected?
The most common example of a trade secret is the recipe for Coca Cola. The fact that you can only buy Coke from Coke is not an accident. To qualify as a trade secret, the information that you seek to protect must have economic value and must be something that cannot be easily discovered by others. In other words, if you can find the "secret" by doing a Google search, it is obviously not a secret.
There are several things that are generally considered trade secrets: design specifications for a computer system, confidential customer lists, and unique formulas or computer programs. Think Coca Cola. You cannot make it at home and you cannot get the recipe for it on the internet either. It is a very carefully protected trade secret. It is believed that only two employees have the formula for making Coca Cola, and the location of that formula is itself a secret.
So, how do you protect your trade secrets?
To begin, your employees should sign a confidentiality agreement. The agreement should specify what the company considers its trade secrets to be, that the company intended to, and did, create those secrets itself, and that the company has taken steps to protect those secrets. The bottom line is that the company must do something, and be able to prove that it did something, to actively protect its trade secrets. The best remedy is a written agreement coupled with a clearly expressed corporate policy on what the company considers its trade secrets to be and how it protects those secrets.
If you ever have to sue in order to prevent someone from stealing your trade secrets, this is what you will have to prove to the Court: (1) that your company possessed secret information and took reasonable steps to protect it from being disclosed in the marketplace; and (2) the secret was stolen, either by one who knew or had reason to know that the secret was improperly obtained or by one who used improper means to obtain it.
If companies take reasonable steps to protect their trade secrets in advance, it is less likely that the company will later become involved in time consuming and costly trade secret litigation.
Trade secrets cases fall under our Complex Business and Commercial Litigation in State and Federal Court practice area. Contact us to speak with an attorney who is experienced in this area, if you find that you may have a case.

Issues: (1) What, if any, deference is due an agency's interpretation when it predominately interprets terms of common law in which courts, not administrative agencies, have special competence; (2) whether the circuit court erred when it held, in contravention of this Court's long-standing definition of "common carrier," that pilots who use the Internet to communicate are "common carriers" when those pilots do not earn a commercial profit or indiscriminately offer to share their travel plans with the general public, thus warranting remand; and (3) whether the circuit court erred in holding that the Federal Aviation Administration could, consistent with the First Amendment, lawfully discriminate against content-based Internet communications because of the message conveyed and the means chosen by pilots to convey it.

Congress has approved a six-year funding extension for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), a move that protects coverage for millions of children.
AAP President Colleen A. Kraft, M.D., FAAP, called the extension an "important step forward for children and families."
"With today's passage of funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the families of nearly 9 million children and their doctors can finally take a deep breath," Dr. Kraft said in a statement. "After 114 days of worry, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) welcomes today's bipartisan Congressional action to extend CHIP funding for six years."
CHIP, which began in 1997, finances high-quality health care for children whose families earn too little to afford private insurance but too much to qualify for Medicaid. The benefits cover a broad range of services and include networks of pediatricians, pediatric medical and surgical subspecialists, and children's hospitals.
The Academy and its members launched a campaign to advocate for an extension of CHIP funding, which expired Sept. 30, by holding days of action, reaching out to lawmakers, writing op-eds, participating in interviews and speaking out on social media.
The deal reached Monday was part of an agreement to end a three-day government shutdown. While CHIP was a significant victory, the future of other programs impacting children remain uncertain, and AAP advocacy is continuing.
"Now that Congress has acted on CHIP, we urge a similar bipartisan approach to the other pressing child health issues that remain unresolved, such as the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV), which serves at-risk pregnant women and parents with young children," Dr. Kraft said. "We also call on lawmakers to find a permanent solution that will allow Dreamers — immigrants brought to the United States as children and who are now young adults — to remain in the United States. … As always, we stand ready to work with elected officials at all levels of government to advance policies that are most supportive of children and their families."

If you want to write a good quality planning objection letter, the best place to start is with all of the facts. The best place to find them in is in the planning application, which is held in the Council's planning office.
It pays to be on good terms with your local planners. Always try to meet planning officers face to face to make them aware of your concerns. They will also be able to explain local policies to you. It is also worth building links with other organisations in your community who might be concerned. Don't assume that the whole community will automatically support your campaign
Next you'll need a basis of objection founded on valid, material planning reasons. Hearsay, speculation, allegation and rumour need to be completely ignored – focus on the facts and you're half way there! Remember, a strong opinion does not make it a fact!
It is the soundness of the points, particularly regarding 'material planning considerations', that are raised, rather than the number of comments, which are important in the planning Case Officer's assessment of the application and the final decision.
In writing a letter of objection, the biggest mistake can be making your letter too personal. It is tempting to do that when you feel strongly or outraged about the proposal. But it will only weaken your case if you include points that have no relevance to the lawful planning guidelines that planners will weigh the proposal against.
The key is to find out which are the pertinent material matters and stick to them. Be sure you keep your objection letter business-like and relevant, and communicate with the planning officer in a language they will understand.
While planning applications are often prepared by experienced professionals, it is not unknown for well researched and considered letters of objection, from 'interested parties' with no experience of the planning system, to stop a proposed development or to bring about improvements in it's design that protect our environment and benefit the wider community.
Formulating Your Objection to a Planning Application Research and review the planning application. You can't object on general grounds. You need to access the actual application for permission to develop the land, and review the applicant's plans.
South Hams District and Devon County Councils (the Local Planning Authorities – LPAs) maintain a public register of planning applications. The register is physically stored at their planning office and is also available through their website. There is no national centralized database of planning applications. Notice of new planning applications are often published in the local newspaper as well.
The planning register must, at a minimum, include the application number, information about the developers, the planning application form, and all supporting drawings, plans, maps, elevations, tree surveys, Design and Access Statements. All the filed documents are significant but, a good starting place is the Applicants Design and Access Statement, the Statutory Consultee responses, including those from the Parish, Town or District Councils, the AONB Unit and English Heritage etc. Review any letters of support or objection for the development proposal.
Visit the site of the proposed development. After you have conducted a preliminary review of the planning application, visit the site in order to match your perception of the development plan with the reality of the property. It is one thing to read a tree survey and another to see and photograph the forest that would be removed as part of the project.
Do not trespass You can stay on the public right-of-way or ask the landowner for written permission.
Draft your grounds for the objection As you sort through the details of the planning application package, note your general objections and reference them to the plans. Note concerns about negative effects the project may have on protected areas, such as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Conservation Areas and the quality of life for residents and visitors including the effects on uninterrupted panoramic views, noise, smell, loss of greenspace, loss of sunlight, and traffic.
The application review can be done on your own or with a residents group. It is a big job, and applications can run hundreds of pages. However, you are not required to be part of an organized group to file an objection to a planning application.
Compare your list with Council's local "material planning considerations." Councils control the overall look and feel of their area and how it affects the quality of local life. An urban Town Council is going to have different priorities than a rural District Council. If material planning considerations (see below) and Local Plan codes are not available on the Council's website, contact the authority in person or by phone.
Generally, Planning Officers and Councillors do not consider loss of private views, changes to your property value, or your convenience in traffic and access to your property to be material planning considerations. The private financial benefit to the applicant is not a material planning matter but public benefits may be. Public views, particularly in protected landscapes, are very important planning matters.
Creating and Filing Your Objection Put your objections into writing. You must maintain a professional tone. Regardless of your personal feelings about the type of development or the politics of the landowner or developer, you must limit your comments to the substance of the application plan. Include the application plan reference number on all correspondence.
Material planning matters Using your notes, work through the application plan and detail every objection that is a material planning consideration. Pick your battles and choose the parts of the project that would have the biggest effect on the area and your community. Common examples are "quality of life" objections. For example:
· The visual impact and harm that may be caused to a designated landscape or protected area, such as an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty or Conservation Area and their enjoyment by residents and visitors.
· The visual impact and harm that the development might have on the areas listed buildings and their setting in the landscape.
· Excessive tree or hedgerow removal can affect drainage, soil stability, wildlife habitat, atmosphere, and appearance of the area.
· Noise and traffic can affect living conditions, tourism, and quality of life.
· Concerns about pollution of native waterways from industry or agri-business and how that could affect water supplies, fishing, tourism, and wildlife.
· Stress on infrastructure, including waste disposal, roads, parking, and schools.
· Architecture that is out-of-character with existing historical structures and could negatively affect tourism and the charisma of the neighbourhood.
Cross-reference to the Council's plans Each objection must be matched to a material planning consideration and must be cross-referenced to the appropriate section(s) of the application plan. Be clear and concise. Aim for no more than one-half page per objection.
Address your letter to the Council and the case officer. Include the application number. Identify yourself and your group. Include your postal contact information.
Submit your objection to the Council. Comments and objections must be filed within 21 days of the publication of the planning application in the registry. Late comments may be accepted up to the time the decision is made, but you should aim for the deadline date.
Submit your comments either through the Council's online comment page or by post. If you mail your objections, be sure to allow several days for delivery.
The contents of your objection will be available for public review. You cannot object privately or confidentially. There is no cost to submit a comment or objection.
Don't use a standard form letter Sometimes local residents circulate a standard form letter to encourage their neighbours to object on the same grounds. This is better than nothing. However, a letter setting out your specific objections will be much more effective and shows the Council's planning officer or the appeal Inspector that you have taken the trouble to familiarise yourself with the proposal and set out your particular objections. At the very least, you should alter the wording of any standard letter you may decide to use so that it reflects your own views and concerns.
Don't rely on petitions There's nothing wrong with signing a petition or even organising your own petition against a planning proposal. As with standard form letters, however, this is no substitute for setting out your specific objections in your own objection letter. Petitions are usually very simple and lack the kind of compelling evidence and robust reasoning that are necessary to ensure your planning objections are accorded the weight they deserve.
Attend council meetings concerning the planning application. You can add power and garner support for your objection by speaking at local government and council meetings. Contact the council for instructions on how to be put on the agenda.
Here is the Council's guide on how to comment on planning applications and their guide to speaking at a planning meeting

I created this project nearly five years ago (the first release was on February 18th, 2000) and I am as committed to it now as I was back then. I have been extremely fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time with the right skills to create and maintain Mondo.
My full-time commitment to the project has prevented me from pursuing more lucrative opportunities. Mondo remains free (as in speech and beer) but my time, like yours, has value. I fund my ongoing full-time work on the Mondo project by charging for 1-to-1 technical support.
In case you think Mondo is my cash-cow, I should tell you that I would earn more by working at Taco Bell than I do by working on Mondo. My wife used to work there, so I know what I'm talking about. :) I'm not in this for the money, fortunately. I'm in this for the emotional and intellectual rewards that come from being part of a software project which is trusted by tens of thousands of people across the world.
$30 will get you 1-to-1 support from me. $100 will get you a license for ten commercial seats. In each case, support lasts for as long as you use Mondo.
I accept checks or credit cards (the latter via PayPal). If you find Mondo useful at work or at home, please consider purchasing technical support. I would encourage you to demonstrate that I have made the right choice by choosing to put down the chalupa and pick up the keyboard. :-)
If you use Mondo on a regular basis but don't support the project:-
If you do support the project then you will feel a warm, fuzzy feeling in your tummy when Mondo rescues your mission-critical data from the bit-bucket at the end of the Universe. Doesn't that sound nice? Oh, and unlike a chalupa, Mondo won't go straight to your hips.
The generic packages were built on a Red Hat 8 system. If you have problems with them and if there are no packages for your Linux distribution then please try other packages.
If you have trouble with the final release, try the snapshot, which comes fresh from cvs. Final releases are named 1.62 or 1.77 or 0.28 or something like that. Snapshot releases are named 1.62_20020322 or 1.77_20098728 or something like that, and will be presented as "2/18" or "4/14" or similar, below. The final releases are known to be good. The snapshot releases are for users who have had trouble with the final releases but don't feel comfortable checking the latest build out of CVS for testing. If you have had trouble with the latest finals, try the latest snapshots.

Please click on the Mondo Installer CD's directory to find the relevant Mondo, Mindi, and other packages for your distribution.
If your Red Hat, Mandrake or other RPM-based distribution lacks certain crucial packages, the Mondo RPM will not install. Feel free to navigate the online copy of the Mondo Install CD to find and install the missing packages.

Oldsmobile started out as Olds Motor Works in 1897 by the hand of Ransom Olds. The company was the first to mass-produce an automobile, the Curved Dash, consequently becoming the biggest carmaker in USA, in the beginning of the 20th century. The cars were formally known as Olds automobiles, but were colloquially called Oldsmobile, and the name stuck. In 1908, General Motors bought Olds. Almost a century later, GM decided to phase out the 107 year old company, due to poor sales. Ironically, the last model of the Oldsmobile, the Bravada SUV, which was released after the GM's announcement, was a very successful.

See, listen and try yourself
Both laymen, users and experts get their money's worth during the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage.
As a visitor you can listen to as many Lectures you like. Normally they take about an hour and give the audience an understanding of a certain subject. In the lecture programme you will find short explanations for all presentations in order to make the choice easier for you. At the end of each lecture there will be enough room for Q&As.
In case you would like to read up more intensely on a subject and also try something new, the Workshops hit the spot for you. Individual trouble-shooting is practised in the Surgery Dr Tux.
In the foyer of the venue building you will find the Linux-Live area – a variegated mix of stands with presentations of different topics as well as exclusive projects and companies. You can discuss with experts to your heart's content and let them demonstrate everything to you.
In addition, there is of course a social programme during which you can have a rest from the "odds and ends of computers" ;-).

Goodbye Gibsons Pt 2
Mikala and family were sent our way by one of my friends from the Seattle art community.
I always love it when friends send people our way. Our friends know how important finding wonderful families for our kittens is to us, so they only send the best people our way. Mikala and family were no exception.
Mikala's son, Simon, just celebrated a birthday. For his birthday, he was promised a pair of kittens.
When they came down to meet the Gibsons, Pheona and Sherman had already been picked, so their choices were between Cedric, Charles, and Rutherford.
With these adorable selections, this choice wasn't easy.
In fact, they were completely torn, and during their visit, they went back and forth many times discussing who might be the best pair for them. A decision was made, and Charles and Cedric were their choices.
But on the car ride home, they discussed it a little further. They even discussed the idea of adopting all three. In the end, Simon decided that his birthday kittens should be Cedric and Rutherford. Mikala sent me a note when they returned home letting me know of their change in plans.
Cedric and Rutherford left this Saturday afternoon and now are all settled into their new home, and I'm sure, making a certain young man and his family quite happy.
Happy Birthday, Simon! Happy Adoption Day, Cedric and Rutherford!

I just know Charles won't have to wait much longer. A friend and her husband couldn't bear to leave the last kitten behind when adopting their youngest two, so they ended up with a grand total of six: their two resident elders, the new kittens and a stray who later adopted them as well! :)ReplyDelete

Pinus strobus Linnaeus
|Eastern white pine is one of the most widely distributed, beautiful, and useful forest trees native to New York. It grows naturally in a wide range of sites, from the steep mountainsides in the Adirondacks to the hillsides and valley swamps of central and western New York. The miles of stump fences still standing in the southwestern section of the state are evidence of the abundance of the tree at one time in this region. The wood is soft, even-textured, very light brown in color, and easily worked. The lumber has a wide range of uses for interior trim, sash and doors, boxes, and buckets. In fact, no other wood in the United States has such a wide range of uses.
|Bark -
thin, smooth, and greenish in color on young trees, becoming deeply furrowed and grayish
brown in color on older trees.
Twigs - rather slender, brittle, light brown in color.
Winter buds - sharp-pointed, yellowish brown in color.
Leaves - needle-like, in clusters of 5, 3 to 5 inches long, bluish green in color, soft, flexible, staying on the twigs for 2 years.
Fruit - a cone, 5 to 10 inches long, with short stalks, drooping, cylindrical, 1/2 inch in diameter, tending to curve from stem to apex, requiring 2 years to mature. Seeds - 2 under each scale, winged, ripening in September.
Distinguishing features - needles in clusters of 5; long, limber cone.

Can a virtual agency scale? Tamara Littleton, CEO and founder of The Social Element, tells us how she's built a 300-people, £9m virtual consultancy business
Ben Smith, Founder, PRmoment.com
This week on the PRmoment podcast, we're taking another change of tack – we're talking about virtual agencies with Tamara Littleton, CEO and founder of The Social Element.
There are plenty of virtual agencies around, but not that many have managed to scale to the size of The Social Element. It's a 300-people (100 staff, 200 freelancers), £9m virtual consultancy business operating internationally.
Here's a flavour of what Tamara and I talked about:
[00:02:01] How paid media is more prominent than organic content on most social channels these days.
[00:02:40] Tamara discusses the three Cs of Social: creative, consultancy and communications.

Dear Bird Folks,
I've recently moved to Cape Cod and have been faithfully reading your weekly column. While I've enjoyed learning about hummingbirds and bluebirds, I would really like to know more about the beach birds. Could you tell me something about the sandpipers I see on my walk every morning?
– Josh, Osterville, MA
Welcome, Josh,
Welcome to Cape Cod. I don't know anything about you or where you are from, but if you read this column "faithfully," you are obviously a very smart person. But I'm sorry you live in Osterville. I've heard things are kind of tough there. A friend of mine lives in Osterville and he only has a three-car garage. I don't even know how he is able to get by. Talk about having the pioneer spirit.
Writing about sandpipers is something I've tried to avoid. They are just too confusing. Mention hummingbirds and bluebirds and everyone knows what birds you are talking about. But if you speak about sandpipers we all will have different images dancing in our heads. Customers regularly ask me if we have a carving of a sandpiper, to which I reply, "Yes." But when I show them the sandpiper we carry their faces drop. They say, "That's not a sandpiper." I retort, "Yes, it is," and they respond, "No, it isn't," and the conversation goes back and forth like that for the next half-hour. While I understand that people are wise to question anything I say, the real problem here is with the birds. Sandpipers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and look nearly identical, while others are large birds and not similar in any way. And to confound things even more, many of the sandpipers don't even have the word "sandpiper" in their name. Dunlins, curlews, and knots are all in the sandpiper family, and so are surfbirds and tattlers…whatever they are. Since you didn't specify which sandpipers you wanted to know about, I'm going choose one for you, and I choose Least Sandpipers. They are cute, common and have the word sandpiper as part of their name. Can't ask for more than that.
As their first name implies, Least Sandpipers are very small. In fact, they have the distinction of being the world's smallest sandpiper. Only six inches long, mostly brown, with a streaked chest and white bellies, they basically look like long-legged sparrows, with stretched-out beaks. Least Sandpipers are one of Cape Cod's birds of summer. They begin arriving here in early July, using the Cape as a rest stop on their "fall" migration. That's right, while we are kicking off the start of summer with fireworks and cookouts, these little birds have already finished nesting in northern Canada and are headed south for the winter. They arrive here hungry and exhausted, right in the midst of all the summer commotion. Desperate to rest and refuel, the birds somehow must find the few mudflats that aren't crowded with clammers, dog walkers and the ever-annoying bird watchers. Once the birds have rested and fattened up a bit, they will continue on. It is thought that many Least Sandpipers will fly directly from Cape Cod, nonstop to South America. Can you imagine? These tiny birds are somehow able to fly 2,000 miles – over the open ocean all the way to South America without ever stopping again to rest and without being served a complementary bag of peanuts. That amazes me. Least Sandpipers are only the size of House Finches and they can fly all that way without food. My House Finches can barely last five minutes without having to muscle their way back onto my feeder.
Before you run down to the beach to look for some Least Sandpipers, Josh, you need to know a few things. Earlier I mentioned that Least Sandpipers look like long-legged sparrows. Well, like sparrows, these sandpipers can easily be confused with their similar-looking cousins. To give you a fighting chance at sorting out which birds you see on your beach, here are a few clues. If you are a leg man, Josh, you should have no trouble remembering to first check out their legs. Most small sandpipers tend to have black legs, but leasties have greenish/yellow legs, looking like birds with a touch of jaundice. Next listen for their call. Least Sandpipers give a harsh, high-pitched "creep, creep" call, which will help you separate them from other shorebirds. The last thing to look for is feeding location. When searching for food, other sandpipers are more inclined to wade through water, but Least Sandpipers are slightly hydrophobic. They'd rather hunt along the shore, in the wrack line and on the drier parts of the marsh. It's important to note that Least Sandpipers tend to be found on mudflats, bay shores and marshes, and aren't likely to be seen chasing the waves on ocean beaches. Those wave-chasing birds are Sanderlings, which are also small sandpipers. (See, I told you these birds are confusing.)
I hope you like living on Cape Cod, Josh. Just don't be discouraged while you are trying to figure out the different sandpipers. Learning them will take time. Just keep an eye out for those yellow/greenish legs and you should be able to tell the Least Sandpipers from all the rest. Also, remember to listen for their creep call. They say it a lot. At least, I think they say it a lot. It's quite possible they only say "creep" when they see me coming.

One of the biggest questions in the world of digital currency right now is whether or not Ethereum will be able to surpass the US# 1bn market cap once again. Although the ETH trading price is in a bit of a slump right now, there has been a good amount of positive news which can all lead to a future price increase. But at the same time, the rumours about smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain are a potential roadblock. That does not mean there are no other benefits to Ethereum technology, though.
The Good And Bad News For Ethereum
Making Ether more accessible to countries all over the world is a major step in the process of reaching the US$1bn market cap once again. Two Asian exchanges have added an ETH trading pair earlier this week, as both Coincheck in Japan and Korbit in Korea made the digital currency accessible to its users.
While this is positive news regarding the global availability of the Ether token across major exchanges, there is no indication either platform will see significant success as a result of this move. Getting a digital currency into the hands of as many people as possible is a good thing, although it is no guarantee of a positive outcome.
Additionally, Vitalik Buterin presented the Ethereum roadmap at a Coinbase meetup earlier this week. To many people, rumours about this announcement would lead to Ethereum being integrated into Coinbase in the long run, although there are no indications that will be happening anytime soon. Some people might see this as a weakness for this project whereas others see the presentation as offering "nothing new", considering most of these development stages were hinted at in the past.
This brings us to one of the more important aspects when taking the current Ethereum market cap into consideration: it is still very early to be obsessed with the present valuation of the Ether token. It has taken Bitcoin seven years to be where it is right now, and there have been various declines in price throughout the years. There is no reason to think that, from a trading point of view, ETH will be any different.
Moreover, the development of Ethereum is hinting at some interesting changes to come. For now, a lot of people have been mesmerized by the concept of using smart contracts on a blockchain, although the same functionality is available for Bitcoin users. In fact, other companies are looking to further advance smart contract technology on the Bitcoin blockchain over the next few years.
Market Cap Expectations
Many people still see Ethereum as a short-term investment, with a lot of volatility on the exchange charts taking place right now. A lot of people are hoping to see the ETH market cap increase to US$ 1bn and more yesterday rather than tomorrow. Similar to any other form of trading instrument available in the world, there are the so-called "bulls" and "bears' who are engaged in a tug-o-war over the ETH price.
In the end, there is no reason Ethereum would not be able to reach the US$1bn market cap in the future, although it may take longer – or less time – than some people might want it to. Digital currency prices do not relate to positive or negative news directly, as value can go down when good news comes out, go up without a particular reason.

If life in Sarita Vihar has one problem, it is the scarcity of restaurants in the vicinity. There are dhabas and tiny take-away restaurants in each market, but restaurants? Dear me, no! Which is why Capital Curry next door in Jasola is a welcome addition to the landscape. Small but fairly well-appointed, it is about the only place in Live In Style Mall to have air-conditioning at the moment. Most Indian joints have menus that do not vary from one to the other at all, but that is where Capital Curry wins: it really does try to make a difference.
Kakori Kebab (Rs 175) is a fairly pleasant rendering of the Lucknow favourite: it is not the best, mind you, but for a general impression of this classic at a reasonable price, it is not bad. Gilafi Seekh Kebab (Rs 190) is a masterful attempt to create a new product, being covered with dice of bell peppers and tomatoes that form the gilaf or covering of the kebab, which is subtly flavoured with nutmeg. I would definitely go back for this version.
The best dish in Capital Curry has to be the Kurkure Bhindi (Rs 135). How they manage to make it so light and crisp, with not a drop of extra oil is a mystery; there doesn't appear to be cornflour on it which would have given it extra crispness. This version is the best I've come across anywhere. I wish the restaurant would do something similar with other vegetables as well.
In contrast, although Dal Ghosht (Rs 195) was an innovative addition to the menu, it wasn't one of their stars. It is a hearty dish that ought to be seen more often on restaurant menus but isn't. The best versions of dal ghosht are where the dal remains whole, yet is packed with the flavour of the meat. Capital Curry's version, alas, gave the impression that the two elements were cooked separately and combined a la minute.
That is why their Dal Fry (Rs 95) scores: a much more pleasant item than the done-to-death Dal Makhni, it had loads of garlic and was a home-style dish that was simple at the same time. This element is something that should be exploited by more North Indian restaurants: not everyone wants heavy, rich food just because they are eating at an Indian restaurant.
Mutton Rarha Ghosht (Rs 210) suffered from the same ailment as the Dal Ghosht: the two elements tasted as if they had been put together two minutes ago, whereas the best dhabas sauté the mince and lamb pieces together for ages, so that one becomes a natural part of the other.
Capital Curry's desserts belong to the Gulab Jamun/Ice-Cream school of thought.

More Jataka Tales - Ellen C. Babbitt
This is the second volume of The Jataka tales, or 'birth stories', that are based on sacred Buddhist texts, some dating as far back as the third century B. C. They are among the oldest collection of folklore extant, and like Aesop's fables, teach interesting moral and life lessons with the use of interesting characters.
The continued success of the "Jataka Tales," as retold and published ten years ago, has led to this second and companion volume. Who that has read or told stories to children has not been lured on by the subtle flattery of their cry for "more"?
Dr. Felix Adler, in his Foreword to "Jataka Tales," says that long ago he was "captivated by the charm of the Jataka Tales." Little children have not only felt this charm, but they have discovered that they can read the stories to themselves. And so "More Jataka Tales" were found in the volume translated from the Sanskrit into English by a group of Cambridge scholars and published by the University Press.
The Jataka tales, regarded as historic in the Third Century B. C., are the oldest collection of folk-lore extant. They come down to us from that dim far-off time when our forebears told tales around the same hearthfire on the roof of the world. Professor Rhys Davids speaks of them as "a priceless record of the childhood of our race. The same stories are found in Greek, Latin, Arabic, Persian, and in most European languages. The Greek versions of the Jataka tales were adapted and ascribed to the famous storyteller, Aesop, and under his name handed down as a continual feast for the children in the West, — tales first invented to please and instruct our far-off cousins in the East." Here East, though East, meets West!
A "Guild of Jataka Translators," under Professor E. B. Cowell, professor of Sanskrit in the University of Cambridge, brought out the complete edition of the Jataka between 1895 and 1907. It is from this source that "Jataka Tales" and "More Jataka Tales" have been retold.
Of these stories, spread over Europe through literary channels, Professor Cowell says, "They are the stray waifs of literature, in the course of their long wanderings coming to be recognized under widely different aspects, as when they are used by Boccaccio, or Chaucer, or La Fontaine."

SUMTER COUNTY, S.C. — An upstate man is being credited for helping learn the identities of John and Jane Doe in Sumter County after 44 years.
Victim's Advocate Volunteer Matthew McDaniel is from Clemson, SC. He works on his own time digging into missing persons and unidentified persons cases from around the nation.
For the last eight years, he's worked with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office to track down leads in a mystery Sumter double murder case from 1976.
Wednesday, Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis says a man and woman found shot to death on a dirt road of I-95 in Lynchburg was 25-year-old Pamela Mae Buckley and 30-year-old James Paul Freund.
RELATED: Former sheriff dedicated his life to solving murder mystery. 44 years later, Jane & John Doe to be revealed
The pair was identified by DNA Doe Project using genetic genealogy. Sheriff Dennis says McDaniel suggested the department reach out to DNA Doe Project to help identify the mystery man and woman.
Since McDaniel learned about Sumter's John and Jane Doe, he says he couldn't stop searching for answers.
He even created a website dedicated to the cold case.
"I think it's probably the cold, calculated execution-style type of murder that it was, and the fact that it was a couple - a man and a woman," explained McDaniel, when asked what intrigued him about the case. "It's almost unprecedented that two people were murdered and never identified."
Through the DNA Doe Project, McDaniel says Pamela Buckley and James Freund now have a DNA profile entered into NamUs - a National Resource Center for Missing, Unidentified and Unclaimed person cases.
It's a database that can help families find much-needed closure.
"Once a family member of a missing person comes forward and says, 'I think that my family member is in this NamUs database', they'll do DNA testing to see if it is," said McDaniel.
According to NamUs, Over 600,000 people go missing in the United States every year.
It is estimated that 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered each year, with approximately 1,000 remaining unidentified after one year.
To help solve more cases, McDaniel is taking action.
He's starting a new non-profit called "Missing Link Finder" in hopes of bringing peace to grieving families.
"Our mission is going to be to advocate on behalf of missing persons and unidentified persons so they have a representative out there working for them," said McDaniel.
McDaniel says he will start investigations from scratch and leave no stone unturned.
Along with accolades from the Sumter County Sheriff's Office, McDaniel is also credited with solving a missing persons case in the upstate, according to Greenville Online.
"It really requires you picking up the phone and calling people, going to those people's houses, going to those old files and re-interviewing everybody in the file," he explained. "That's what I did basically on this case."
Missing Link Finder is set to launch by the end of the year.

Tedeschi Trucks Band just released an incredible live album and is touring Europe, while some of its individual members (who are not named Tedeschi or Trucks), are getting out there and releasing music and gigging on their own.
Whose Hat Is This? was recorded live in Berlin in 2015, a totally improvised set led by bass ubermench Tim Lefebrve and accompanined by TTB drummers JJ Johnson and Tyler Greenwall, and sax player Kebbi Williams.
The album can be pre-ordered from Lebebrve's new website. It is $20 and will be shipped on April 9th.
The group is also performing tonight in Berlin at the same venue it was recorded (A-Trane) to celebrate. Check out this quartet in action stateside -- at 55 Bar in New York City -- this past fall.
Here's Tim, along with Derek and Susan (and their respective techs) providing a rundown of their TTB gear.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (including, but not limited to, loss of revenue or profit, loss of use of the products or any equipment, damage to associated equipment, cost of capital, cost of substitute products, downtime costs, replacement power, or claims of Buyer's customers for such damages or any other damages). All limitations of liability provisions in this Contract shall apply to any and all claims or suits or other litigation brought against Seller, including any claims based upon negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty, strict liability, or any other legal theories upon which liability may be asserted against Seller.
Seller shall not be liable for failure to perform its obligations under this Contract resulting directly or indirectly from or contributed to by acts of God, acts of Buyer, civil or military authority, government priorities, fires, strikes or other labor disputes, accidents, floods, epidemics, war, riot, delays in transportation, lack of or inability to obtain raw materials, components, labor, fuel or supplies, or other circumstances beyond Seller's reasonable control, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. If Seller, without separate compensation, furnishes Buyer with information, advice or other assistance concerning any product or any system or equipment in which any such product may be installed, including information, advice on installation or fusing, the furnishing of such advice or assistance will not subject Seller to any liability, whether in negligence, contract, warranty, strict liability or otherwise, and Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless and indemnify Seller from any liability in connection therewith and from all costs related thereto, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, expert witness fees and expenses, and court costs.
(11) PATENTS - Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all damages, liabilities and costs suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of any claim or lawsuit alleging that the goods sold (as distinguished from repaired) pursuant hereto infringe any United States Letters Patent provided, however, that if the goods are manufactured in accordance with specifications furnished by Buyer and are not part of Seller's standard product line, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any such claim or lawsuit and from all costs and damages related thereto or incurred by Seller in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, expert witness fees and expenses, and court costs), provided further that:
(a) Buyer give prompt notice to Seller of any such claim
(b) Seller shall have the exclusive charge of the defense or settlement of any such claim or lawsuit at its sole cost and expense, and
(c) Seller shall have the right to eliminate any alleged infringement by procuring rights under the governing patent or by modifying the goods so that they will not infringe or, at Seller's option, to take back the goods sold or any infringing portion thereof and refund to Buyer the price paid therefore. Seller's indemnity does not apply to any claimed infringement arising from use of any of the goods in combination with other items not delivered hereunder where such infringement would not have occurred from the use of the goods alone. Except as provided in this paragraph, Seller makes no warranty that the goods will be delivered free from any claims of patent infringement of any third party.
(12) GOVERNING LAW - This Contract shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware (and not the conflict of law provisions of that State); and the Buyer accepts the jurisdiction and venue of the U.S. District Courts sitting in any U.S. State from which the Buyer's order of the Seller's goods is acknowledged or processed or from which any of the Seller's subject goods are shipped with respect to any matter related to this Contract or any goods sold under this Contract. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the UN Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, as amended, shall not apply to this Contract or any sale or other matter related to this Contract.
(13) FOR POWER CAPACITORS, CAUTION - Normally a power capacitor failure will cause a protective fuse to operate. However, circuit conditions may be such that a single fuse does not provide sufficient protection and the capacitor may have a violent case rupture. There is an increased danger of fire under such circumstances, due to the flammable nature of the impregnating liquid in the capacitor. For this reason, additional fusing, although probably not foolproof, should be considered by Buyer. Individual fusing of all power capacitors, and in some cases dual fusing, is recommended. For some installations, smaller bank sizes may be advantageous. In any event, Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless and indemnify Seller from any loss or damage (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, expert witness fees and expenses, and court costs) other than the return of the purchase price of the subject capacitors or other goods in accordance with the express warranty provisions set forth in this Contract.
(a) Personnel injury or property damage may result from a capacitor explosion or the expulsion of electrolyte due to mechanical or electrical disruption of the capacitor. Contact with liquid or vapor is to be avoided. In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, or accidental oral ingestion, action may be taken as follows:
Emergency treatment is as follows:
Skin Contact: May result in irritation. Flush and wash thoroughly with soap and water immediately.
Eye Contact: Contact lenses must be removed at once. Immediately flush the open eye(s) with large amounts of water and seek immediate medical attention.
Oral Ingestion: As an interim emergency measure, administer warm water or milk, induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention.
Vapors: Avoid inhalation of vapors. Ventilate the area thoroughly and go to fresh air.
(b) Precaution in use of cleaning agents: The probability of catastrophic failures, including
explosions, in capacitors subjected to cleaning by halogenated materials, are sufficient for Seller to DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, IF THE SELLER'S CAPACITORS ARE SUBJECTED IN ANY MANNER OR EXTENT TO THESE SOLVENTS.
Understanding the popularity of halogenated hydrocarbon solvents due to their effective cleaning properties and the availability of these materials, Seller suggests the following alternatives:
(1) The end-user should consider inserting electrolytic capacitors after the PC boards have been subjected to cleaning with such halogenated solvents that are required.
(2) If the above procedure is not acceptable to the end-user, on special written request received by Seller from Buyer in a timely fashion, Seller will supply a special unit with a supplemental epoxy protective coating covering the end disc and the sealing areas. The cleaning agents listed whose use would negate Seller's warranties include but are not limited to the following:
Freon TF *, TMC * Trichloroethane
Carbon tetrachloride All (detergent)
Chloroform Methylene Chloride
Trichlorethylene Halogenated materials, in general
* Registered Trademark E. I. DuPont & Co.
(15) EXPORT RESTRICTIONS - Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that Buyer is not restricted under the terms of any U.S. custom or export law or regulation from receiving any product to be purchased from Seller; and Buyer agrees that none of the products to be purchased by Buyer from Seller will be exported or re-exported, directly or indirectly (except in full compliance with all U.S. custom and export control laws and regulations) to any country or person that Buyer knows or has reason to know is restricted from receiving such goods by any U.S. custom or export control law or regulation. Furthermore, the Buyer will refrain from acquiring, using, or transmitting any product or technology of Seller to the extent that such acquisition, use or transmission would violate any U.S. law or regulation; and Buyer shall not directly or indirectly sell, transfer, provide, deliver or transmit (except in full compliance with all U.S. custom and export control laws and regulations) any such products or technology to any persons, countries or organizations that the Buyer knows or has reason to know are subject to denial of U.S. export privileges.
(16) Furthermore and to the fullest extent allowed by law (and without limiting any protection afforded to Seller in the Contract, these General Terms and Conditions, or in any other publication or documentation of Seller), Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller (and all other Seller Indemnified Parties as herein below defined) from and against: (a) any and all claims (or any Litigation or Litigation Expenses [each as hereinafter defined] directly or indirectly related thereto), including (without limitation) any third party claims , which constitute a claim or claims beyond the remedies expressly provided in these General Terms and Conditions; and (b) all costs, losses, damages and liabilities related to any claim, Litigation, or Litigation Expenses, directly or indirectly arising from or related to any negligence or misdeed on the part of Buyer, including (without limitation) any modification of any product of Seller without Seller's express written authorization, or any misuse or misapplication of any product of Seller, or any operation of any product of Seller outside of the specifications of such product issued in writing by Seller, or any installation made, authorized or permitted by Buyer that stresses, operates, utilizes, or applies any product of Seller beyond the specifications of such product issued in writing by Seller, or any failure by Buyer to appropriately, safely, prudently and effectively design, test, assemble, manufacture, sell, lease, transfer, market, package, label, ship, install or dispose of any product of Buyer that includes a product of Seller (and Buyer's obligations under these General Terms and Conditions to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller [and all other Seller Indemnified Parties] shall apply even if Seller [and/or any or all other Seller Indemnified Parties] is or are negligent, legally at fault or liable under the laws of any country or other jurisdiction). Moreover, Buyer accepts (with respect to each Seller Indemnified Party) responsibility for all actions of each Buyer Entity and each Buyer Entity's respective officers, executives, managers, employees, agents, and representatives, as fully as if all actions thereof that have any impact on any Seller Indemnified Party were actions of the Buyer itself; and the word "Buyer" as used in these General Terms and Conditions refers to the buyer or purchaser of any products from Seller; the term "Seller Indemnified Parties" means and includes the Seller and each of the Seller's direct or indirect subsidiaries, parents, and other affiliates (including, without limitation, all corporations, companies, businesses, partnerships and other entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Seller), and each Seller Indemnified Party's respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, executives, managers, employees, agents, representatives and distributors; the term "Buyer Entity" means and includes, jointly and severally, the Buyer and all direct or indirect subsidiaries, parents or other affiliates thereof (including, without limitation, all corporations, companies, businesses, partnerships and other entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Buyer); the term "Litigation" means and includes any lawsuit, arbitration or other litigation; and the term "Litigation Expenses" means and includes all attorney fees and expenses, expert witness fees and expenses, arbitration costs, court costs, and other litigation expenses.
(17) COMPLIANCE AND INTERPRETATION - Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that Buyer's acquisition, application, use, transfer, disposal, and other disposition of each product acquired by Buyer from Seller will be in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws or regulations. The title of this Contract and section headings appearing in this Contract are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to limit the scope or substance of this Contract or any section of this Contract.

Professor of the Sociology Department at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar)
Researcher at the CEM and at the CEBRAP
Doctorate in Social Sciences at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with a doctorate collaborative at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS)
Research Project: The margins of the city (to be coordinated by Gabriel Feltran)
The subject broadly known as the "margins of the city" have obtained relevant analytical status in contemporary social sciences. In Brazil, urban sociologists and anthropologists spent the last four decades analyzing the deep dislocations produced by democratization, economic globalization and State reforms in the social and political dynamics of urban outskirts. As a result, key-words on the debate on urban poverty, such as migration, industrial work, labor markets, social policies, family, religion, violence and illegal markets have had their content deeply transformed.
In São Paulo, the expansion of marginal populations and territories is evident. Drug trafficking, car theft, electronic piracy, smuggling, burglary are no longer exclusively associated to urban violence. Instead, they are mainly highly profitable established markets that operate on transnational scale, in spite of being territorialized in strategic points of large metropolis as the São Paulo city, specially in its urban outskirts.
The main objective of this research project is to investigate – by ethnographic fieldwork – the social circuits of the so-called marginal urban groups and territories in São Paulo city. Therefore, the life of informal and illegal workers, immigrants, refugees, criminals, homeless and prostitutes is its subject.
This project will submit to empirical test the argument that the way marginal populations live is explained by the absence of connections either to the State or to social organizations. It will scrutinize the conventional wisdom that describes those marginal populations as those that "do not have" or as "outsiders".
Instead, preliminary evidence suggests that examining the actual relationships those individuals and groups establish among themselves and with other social groups or individuals from different social realms, such as family, labor market, churches, social workers, the organized crime, and the State can be a fruitful way to better understand the true government of the periphery.
The specific objectives of this project are:
- to describe and analyze the social codification of daily life and the internal forms of management of these territories and populations (internal moralities, codes of conduct, hierarchy, sociability etc.);
- to describe the relationships between these subjects and other social and political spheres, like family, work, associations, politics, religion, police, and organized crime.
In order to enhance the robustness of research results, the project will collect data about "marginal circuits" in two different urban areas:
- the Sapopemba district, on the eastern outskirts of São Paulo city and
- a medium-size city (200,000 inhabitants) in the north of São Paulo State.

As I've said before, I often have to do a lot of work on the images I post; I want them to look good! Getting things right also often involves a lot of sleuthing. Among the many indignities that have been done to images one finds on the internet is "flipping"; many things - even very well known paintings or photographs - have been reversed from the original, presented as a mirror image. I'm usually quite good at spotting when this happens. But all three of these photographs of the divine Miss Loren were found going both ways, and it was tough to come to a judgement on which way was correct. Turns out the lady has a surprisingly symmetrical face, and the photographs actually looked correct both ways. So I looked at many, many other contemporary images of her, searching for clues. The most promising was her hairstyle, which direction her hair was arranged during this period. But then she's so windblown here, that that didn't end up being a useful factor. I finally noticed that one side of her upper lip tended to rest a tiny bit higher than the other... so I went with that! I'm still not one hundred percent sure I got it right but, frankly, she looks amazing any way you flip or flop her. Am I right?
|This is the way I most often found the first image. Perhaps reversed, but beautiful, no?

Red Square, which shares is name with the popular attraction, is one of the Moscow restaurants that is packed nearly every day of the year; it is so popular that reservations are almost an absolute must, even during the day.
