often I have tried pinching myself..or asked others to pinch me
often I have tried to jerk my legs vigorously..
often I have rocketed to the nearest water point, splashed water on my face,wet my eyes
All in an attempt to remain awake in the class..
In many cases the above operations have been doomed..
What follows is..
*continuous batting of eyelids(as a tube light in a voltage fluctuation)
*the smudge like marks or the running ant like handwriting on the notebook in front of me...followed by the slipping of pen from my hand..
the handwriting turns good,bad and then ugly...and then blank....
Note the way my handwriting deteriorates..(not a drunken driving add!)
How often have you been caught stretching arms..and opening that big mouth with the annoying(to others) AWWHHHHHHHH..sound..
then find some weird muscle in your neck stretched beyond repair and paining like hell..
or even worst you find that the entire class is suddenly looking at you..making you realise..hey!whats so special abt me today!!
Assess the situation and curse yourself for sleeping or curse the external disturbing/waking agent..
The next time any one of us is nabbed yawning
in the class by the teacher..and asked "how dare you yawn in my class?"
here's what you can explain to him...
You can try to explain to your teacher"Sir I was Just yawning ,not sleeping..
The primary reason behind yawning is to control brain temperature. It cools off your brain, much like a fan cools off the inside of a computer.Also, that yawning is caused by lack of
oxygen not necessarily lack of sleep or boredom. Another speculated reason for yawning is nervousness and is also claimed to help increase the state of alertness of a person—paratroopers have been noted to yawn in the moments before they exit the aircraft."
Also tell him...that it has been established by Science that Yawning reflex is contagious and spreads.. if one person yawns, this may cause another person to "sympathetically" yawn.
Observing another person's yawning face (especially his/her eyes), even reading, or thinking about yawning, can cause a person to yawn...
So you see its not all your fault,Prof!!!nor should you be conscious or guilty or indignant that you made us yawn...
Pretty often you might be surreptitious in your attempts pretending to be hiding behind the book,or resting your face,hiding those guilty sleepy eyes just behind the back of your hand...when you realise that you've succeeded in fooling the prof...and enjoyed those few moments of spiritual bliss,dreaming about the best food,outfits,places,crushes in sleep..away
from all those shady free body diagarams, puzzling circuits and mystifying equations...
I have taken such "power naps" in the midst of a classical concerts...
and trust me!! also in the midst of an electrifying rock concerts.
I have dozed off in bathrooms,in the midst of telephonic conversations,meals,even face to face conversations...
Well most of the times I have been successful in my super slumbers..
but many times not...
Like in the first year when the class was held in the huge lecture hall with 120 students..people used to make a beeline for the farthest benches..read a book,spot others upto something
while I busy in SLEEP
tragedy struck when we shifted to a smaller classroom with a strength of about 60..
Diplomatic immunity as my frnd calls it is "sitting on the first bench,you can just sleep by covering your face,manoj kumar style..and go unnoticed,while prof will be busy casting a suspicious glance at the back benchers"
I guess it worked
It was just one day when I failed to sit on the first bench when some overtly strict(read:nutty) professor..whose class was always marked by pin drop silence lulled me to sleep...
suddenly I listen to Ravana roaring..
and there he was standing with arms akimbo,like any jailor at guantanamo bay..ready to take me to task..
In reflex I sprang out of my seat to stand and save my life
The Prof asked me what he had been teaching...i glance at the board ,..clueless i muttered letters written on the board..
The next I hear is a crackling 100 decibel"GET OUT OF THE CLASS"
Man..I did something exceptionally "coool" in college..got thrown out of the class..
days continued..while I tried hard not to sleep in his class..his terror reigned...
Semester changed and so did teachers.. so I was back to my business..
On a kinder occassion a highly esteemed Prof caught me in the act
One fine day in His usual lectures..My vertebrael column was closing in from the 90 deg. to the table to 60..45..and finally approaching to 0 deg to the table
when he points me out.."and there we have someone sleeping...Tell me do I sound like your dad who probably had been a good bed time storyteller or lullabye singer to you in your hey
I just tried to figure some excuse but mumbled a sheepish apology...
He saw me sleeping in his class even after that day when he had given me his "piece of mind"...but I think he'd given up on me...
some people are just too impossible,irreparable,incorrigible....he must have thought
Its not that I am nocturnal and suffer from a sleep deficit...I have slept in class even after having 10 hrs sleep at night..
So you know its not all my fault!
I didnt much like the movie SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE but as a little girl I always fancied SLEEPING BEAUTY..
During summers you can blame the sweltering heat and the sleep inducing heat wave that keeps you confined in your nest...thus leaving you with no option but to sleep..
During rains..the weather becomes so gloomy and mundane that its hard to stay active...so sleep..
During winters its so comfortable to be wrapped us and cozily sleep..
But just a Word:
"NO Dream comes True untill we Wake Up and goto work"..
Having said that..my blog uploaded..my job done...Off I go...Zzzzzz
While you can YAAWWWNN as the blog entry ends!!

Well that may be that but the teachers in my dept. can give anyone a sleep for their money. But luckily they've learned from their recordings, so anyone found sleeping is simply asked to drink some water, wash faces or simply walk for some time. Worst that can happen is being joked on. Hurray!

thanks for the sleeping lessons esp for your younger bit siblings like us. even the condition is worse, some profs don't even disturb the sleeping guys as he hv less to worry abt consulting his age-old notes for each point he speaks out( perhaps the notes were copied and made when he was student himself).

SMALL BLACK – Two Rivers (Feat. Heems)
Small Black are a New York quartet who dwell on the cold, synth side of things and are releasing the Moon Killer mixtape on November 11th, with a full LP due next year. Whilst on tour with Cults, the band bumped into Heems and the Das Racist man popped in to freestyle over a few of their track, culminating in this beautifully bleary track.

Science fiction is a special genre within fiction. It can cover a large range of topics and allows the writer and reader to put their imagination into good use. However, I find myself lacking in the science fiction genre when it comes to knowledge. Sure, I know about the "classic" science fiction. But for the most part… I have to be pretty desperate to make it through Huxley's entire book. And over the years (especially since I don't have to worry about doing book reports on them) I've just let my science fiction classics collect dust and completely avoided the entire section at Chapters. Seriously, I don't even look at it when I walk by. I've realized that this could be a career problem. As in I could spend the rest of my academic and working life looking at people who mention any sci-fi book with that blank stare I seem to have mastered. According to booky friends and employees of Chapters, it's quite scary to see me go from animated to zombie in less than one blink. I definitely have to change that. Which is why Marc has shown me this wicked blog called i09. Really cool blog about science fiction and other assorted things. On here, they have done all of my work for me in figuring out which books I really need to read to bring my sci-fi knowledge up to speed by creating an uber list. Take a look (I definitely have), make some notes, argue with them a bit, and then start reading!
Sci-fi on the menu anyone?

- Fallon's the brains, Rhys pulls the pints
Adam's acting guilty
Adam's bought Ian an orchard.
[Adam] "Not too rainforest for you? … I've a man in Peru who ships them over."
[Ian] "Very romantic."
And what's more, Adam's booked them dinner at Milo's (the restaurant Ian had booked for Adam's birthday, but Adam was too tired to go). Ian's perplexed at the sudden outpouring of niceness.
[Ian] "I'd love to but, why, what's the special occasion? What have I done to deserve this?"
[Adam] "Do I need an excuse … let's just say it's for being with me … I'm not too proud of the way I've behaved … you kept me sane. I might have been on a plane to Nairobi …"
Adam knows that he's behaved far, far worse than Ian realises.
Orchards and dinner won't take away that guilt.
Mike doesn't want chocolate chip, or to talk
The biscuits, because he was too busy to work.
After sorting the pulsator (whatever that is) for Ed, Mike's so tired from work that he needs a nap. But, spotting that Vicky isn't too chirpy at the moment, he suggests they go out to The Bull after he has his nap.
So, they go to the Bull.
Mike's rabbiting on about everything but the decision they have to make.
Vicky tries to talk about the amniocentesis test. She's been looking it up on the internet. Which is always a dangerous thing to do. She's just confused herself even more.
[Mike] "Vicky love, maybe this isn't the best time or place."
[Vicky] "I know you'd rather not talk about it … but that won't make it go away."
Tomorrow, Mike says.
They'll talk about tomorrow.
Football supporters descend on The Bull
Not really.
Rhys was just winding up Fallon.
The cad.
[Fallon] "I'm serious, you'll go down in the cellar and you won't come out!"
Ian prefers home to clubbing
Adam wants to have a social life
But not when it would involve socialising with the pickers.
[Adam] "No I see quite enough of the pickers at work, thanks all the same."
Hmmm. Wonder why he's so sure about that …
Anyhoo, Adam does want to go out more, but wants to go further than The Bull.
[Ian] "What, so go clubbing? Really? Are you sure you're up to that?"
[Adam] "Are you suggesting I'm past it … I'm not saying we have to stoke ourselves with chemicals and stay out all night!"
[Ian] "Well, who wants to be 23 again."
Ian then mentions Pavel.
He's been thinking of him (not in 'that' way, or because he suspects anything), and about how he's not committed to anything. Not tied down. Can do what he wants.
But Ian wouldn't want to swap places.
[Ian] "What we're got is so much better … All that stress and insecurity, one night stands and two day hangovers, who needs it … I am sounding very middle aged here, but I like our life the way it is. Sitting at home at night, watching DVDs, the garden, the hot tub, breakfast in bed on Sunday mornings …"
Fallon's the brains, Rhys pulls the pints
Fallon is determined to keep the pub busy. She seems to be on a mission to prove she can successfully run it, while Jolene is away.
Rhys isn't impressed. Fallon keeping the pub busy by putting on more and more entertainment is just making them having to work harder. He thinks The Bull us busy enough as it is.
[Fallon, taking the Michael out of Rhys] "How to run a successful pub … you just put a sign outside saying pub, and wait for people to come pouring in!"
Rhys fights back. He tells Fallon that she doesn't need to make an effort, as Jolene will be back enough soon to take care of it.
[Fallon] "Oh, so why should I worry my pretty little head about it."
[Rhys, talking about all of the events] "I just don't get it ."
[Fallon] "No, you wouldn't, would you. That's why I'm in charge and you're a bar man. So no need to worry your head about it, you just keep serving the drinks and leave the rest to me."

A selection of 329 of the very best motion & action-packed films launched between 2000 and 2017. Motion movie heroes rapidly became more relatable and reignited the style all through the 80's and 90's. What we have seen with films just like the Bourne Identity (and sequels) and the Matrix (and sequels) are motion movies with actual substance.
Action movies then expanded in the 80s and 90s, with the growth of special effects methods and in response to jaded audiences who demanded faster plots (coherent or not), higher violence, and stimulation. In the title textual content, Randall states that Stay Free or Die Exhausting had far too little action and suggests another movie, Crank, as a greater example.
This movie has great characters and amazing type which has been recently copied in plenty of films and tele-sequence later the world over. Nevertheless, if nothing else, Neeson's motion experiment did lead to one unqualified success. With Bourne now back, we thought it was the right time to take one other look back at the current historical past of the genre, and so we have expanded our outdated checklist and picked out the 50 Finest Action Movies since the yr 2000.
India continues to be a growing nation and solely a small proportion reside in the cities, which respect wise, center-of-the-highway films. Asian martial arts components, similar to kung-fu and karate can now be found in quite a few non-Asian motion movies. We suspected this supposed motion retirement announcement ought to be taken with a pinch of salt, although.
We're unsure if that venture continues to be on his future docket or if it is fallen by the wayside, however that would be a sensible method to finish his run of motion motion pictures. And Jason Statham's leaps from one floor to another are just as fluid as you anticipate Motion to be from him.

Perhaps, he thought, there is such a thing as too late. Perhaps he ought not to have gotten his hopes up. It is a dangerous thing to get one's hopes up, especially when hope is all that one has left, he reflected.
Well… not all, he decided, reaching down to scratch Minouche behind the ears the way he liked. The basset hound looked up at him with sad eyes. He always had sad eyes – such is the nature of the basset hound, he supposed, but today they seemed particularly questioning.
'What are we doing here?' the sad eyes seemed to ask. 'When can we go for a walk?'
And more than likely, knowing Minouche, 'Where's my treat?'
The hound was getting a little chubby in his old age. So, Frederick supposed, was he himself. Too many treats for both of them. Minouche, poor thing, had been so foolishly named by a granddaughter with a temporary fondness for all things French. But, silly name aside, he was a good, reliable dog.
And Minouche sat quietly, perhaps a bit lazily, waiting for the old man on his fool's errand. Minouche had never been to the train station before. Perhaps a younger dog would have been exploring, seeking out new scents and new adventures. Minouche, growing older and stouter, was content to lay on the bench by the old man's side.
'Did promises have an expiration date?' Frederick wondered.
He supposed they must. He was foolish even to come here. She would not remember… Would she?
Forty years. It seemed such a very long time. Minouche had not been born yet. And he'd been a different man. Had been a different man? He'd been a younger one, anyway, and that was different enough.
He remembered the beautiful girl he'd met on the train. Sparkling eyes and a beautiful smile. Long, slender fingers tucked into his stubby ones. He had never had particularly impressive hands, but hers had been lovely. He wondered if they still were.
And, of course, he remembered the sparkling engagement ring on her hand. That part was impossible to forget.
It had started when he'd looked across the aisle and realized that the girl sitting across the way was reading the same book he was. And a question turned into a conversation. And a conversation turned into hours spent side by side as the train rolled through empty countryside. Small towns and ancient trees.
And then the conversation turned back into a question.
Do you throw it all away? Do you give up everything you have built, everything you have loved, for what could be?
He would have, he knew, even now. Looking into those sparkling eyes, he could forget the sweetheart waiting for him at home, knew he could face down his mother's disappointment, if he could have forever with her.
But she would not. Or could not. He was never sure which.
"I've made promises," she said. "Promises need to be kept."
"Do you love him?" he had asked.
"I thought I did," she said. "Perhaps I still do."
"I love you," he said.
"How do you know?" she smiled sadly up at him.
"I just know," he said.
"All we've had is one day," she said.
"I would give you a lifetime," he said.
"You say that now," she said.
"I'll say that always," he said.
"How can you be sure?" she said.
"How can you be so unsure?" he said.
He had told her, bravely, that he would love her forever.
"How long is forever?" she had asked.
He remembered the last moments, holding her hand before she had to run for her connecting train home.
"I don't know if I can do it," he said. "Never see you again."
And that's when she'd said it, on a whim, he supposed. There are few things worse than being hated by someone, but being a whim is one of them.
"Meet me here," she'd said, all those years ago. "If it was meant to be, it'll be again, right? I'll see you again. And you can tell me how much you missed me."
He hated that he was a whim. That he was an as-yet-to-be-determined, maybe, kind of choice for her. And as much as he hated it, he knew that he was going to take what he could get – that you didn't let someone like her go if you didn't have to.
And they'd agreed to meet, then and there, forty years from that day, under the old clock at the train station. Even then it had been old. Neither of them even thought to think if the clock would be there in forty years, or even if the train station would be, but somehow, miracle of miracles, it still was.
The clock ticked down. Three o'clock they'd said. It was 2:55, by his watch.
He gave Minouche another scratch behind the ears.
It had been years. There had been lots of loves after her – marriages, children, grandchildren. He was a widower now. The word still felt foreign on his tongue.
Why was he here? Was she so very important to him? The girl he'd known for a few hours all those years ago?
She must be, he reasoned, or he wouldn't be here, staring nervously at the enormous clock, like it was the alligator and he was Captain Hook, just waiting for it to swallow him whole. She must be, or he wouldn't have remembered, all these years later.
He found himself holding his breath as a woman walked up to the clock. It was 2:58. She was not the girl he'd met so many years ago, but neither was she so completely different. Her hair had silvered, but it still gleamed in the light, in almost the same way the golden-blonde had years before. She pushed a pair of glasses up her nose – glasses she had not worn before, but they did not dim the sparkle of those still-familiar eyes.
With a bit of creaking, he pushed himself up from the bench and he and Minouche walked over to meet her. Minouche, seeming to realize that this was not a frivolous occasion, remained quiet for the moment, but was rewarded anyway as she bent down to pet him.
"Hello," he said, unable to think of what else to say. It seemed like a good enough start.
"Hello, William," she said, smiling up at him in almost exactly the same way she had before. A few more lines on her face, perhaps, but still the same smile.
He was at a loss. His imagination had gotten him only this far – he'd imagined seeing her. He'd just thought the words would come. They didn't.
"You came," he said.
"Of course I came," she said. "I promised I would."
"Yes, you did," he said. Only, at the time, he hadn't quite known what a promise what that promise had meant. Did he know now? He still wasn't sure.
He stared down at his scuffed loafers for a moment.
"So," he said. "Read any good books lately?"
She laughed and it was the same laugh he remembered, echoing in his mind.
"Come on," she said, sliding her arm through his. "Let's get some coffee and we'll talk about it."
His heart leaped in his chest as he walked with her, through the train station, out into the open air, with the click-clack of paws scooting obediently behind.
Was this the same? He wondered. Were either of them the same people they had been?
Most definitely not, he decided. He was different and so was she.
He smiled, walking out into the world and out of the musty old train station, into the beginning of something new.

Place of Sense
you become familiar with the smells.
The smoke from the factories.
The ammonia from the fertilizer plant.
The slaughter house smells of blood and bone.
The garlic frying in woks.
And the smells become familiar with your nose.
You get use to the sounds.
The honking of horns and the squealing of tires.
The siren of cops and the silence of robbers.
The helicoptors overhead.
The crying and the laughing.
The music from the cars.
And the sounds are comfortable with your ears.
But most of all you recognize the others.
You walk by them sometimes.
Sometimes they walk by you.
You can tell who is awake.
You can sense the angry ones.
You notice the sadness of some.
Some of them never talk.
Some of them just drift.
You can see who is full of love.
You can see who is dripping with hate.
But all of them are alive.
And they can remember you.
I know that there are times,
when you see someone on the sidewalk.
They are just walking by.
You nod your head.
And they nod theirs.
But they are not like the others.
But they are like the others.
It is always hard to tell.
You never really can tell.
But they are there.
Right there on the sidewalk.
Let me make this a little clearer.
It has something to to do with
the sense of place.
The place of sense.
And the spirit in you.
And the spirits outside of you.
You get familiar with the place
and the place gets familiar with you.
And that is the thing
that I needed to say.

I want to touch on people who are very intuitive and have early success. I got my first real entrepreneurial venture in 2002 with a good friend Ryan Johnson. It was nothing spectacular, well researched, or world changing; we simply bought real estate that cash flowed. I can recall multiple conversations involving these phrases:
"Let's buy every house 1 mile north of campus."
Or "Let's do a bunch of 0% down loans so we are fully leveraged."
This was coming from a couple of 19 year olds with no real capital or research. Before we graduate college, we had haphazardly purchased over 15 rental properties.
Did this require some type of higher level intelligence, superior intuition, or hours of research and planning? Absolutely not. Anyone could have produced higher returns and tons of people did. Real estate agents, brokers, developers, and lenders made millions.
After each successful transaction, I trusted my intuition more and more. I began to think I could not make a mistake as long as I trusted my intuition.
This is the problem with early success; you begin to rely on your intuition, are rewarded for incorrect business decisions, and develop bad habits.
So how is this a bad thing? First, I accredited my success to my intuition, not external factors and luck. Second, I know may have the propensity to make uninformed decisions and assume higher risk without completing the necessary due diligence. This may compound the problem until a miscalculation results in the loss of all previous gains.
There are people who are brilliant and very intuitive, able to succeed almost effortlessly in their decision-making. However, superior intuition cannot compensate for advance planning, due diligence, and great execution. Though you may be able to make great decisions trusting your intuition, imagine if you coupled brilliant decision-making with thorough research and information.
So what is the point? The point is that I have seen multiple articles stating to always trust your intuition. I have relied on my intuition, trusted my whimsical decision making, and seen success. However, I look back after making thousands of mistakes and think what could have been if I were well-researched and had a larger knowledge base. So I say trust your intuition, but make sure you have all the facts and information necessary to be in the position to make a correct decision.
As for Ryan and I, the true test of our real estate prowess is whether we can flourish under the current market conditions. In 2002, we would just pick out a house, enjoy the color of the exterior, buy it, and turn a huge profit. Now, we have to analyze the rental market, where development is going, what city laws are being enacted, and where all the economic factors are heading. I miss the good ole days.

Brief History of a Landmark: Hotel Negresco in Nice
Today's postcard comes from Niece, France and features Hotel Negresco's Royal Lounge.
If you count yourself among those untouched by fame and fortune, this place is most likely out of your league. But even so, you can still enjoy a walk through the hotel's sumptuous Royal Lounge, with its awe-inspiring glass ceiling and fabulous art work on display.
Le Negresco is a world famous lavish hotel located on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. It is one of the most beautiful and noticeable landmarks on the French Riviera. Many hotels claim to have a world-class art collection, but in this case it is utterly true. The hotel displays works by Dali, Moretti and sculptress Niki de Saint-Phalle, as well as a vast collection of rare antiques and historical paintings. The Royal Lounge has a Baccarat crystal chandelier which was commissioned by Czar Nicholas II.
Built by Henry Negresco in the period of La Belle Époque, the hotel epitomizes the glamour of the lost generation of aristocrats. Henry Negresco was the son of an innkeeper in Bucharest, Romania. At the age of 15 he left Romania trying to find his fortune in France. He started as fiddler but his entrepreneurial skills helped him work his way up with a lot of success. He earned his great reputation and by building other people's businesses and eventually became the best "maître d'hôtel" on the French Riviera. He opened Hotel Negresco in 1912, but sadly the hotel's glory lasted only two years. In 1914, as the First World War started, Henry was forced to transform his hotel into a hospital for the wounded French soldiers. He joined the war effort by helping within the hospital himself. After the war ended he was forced to sell the business in order to pay off his debts. Henry Negresco died a few years later in Paris, impoverished and heartbroken.
The hotel has changed hands a few times before ending up in the possession of the current owner, Jeanne Augiuer, the daughter of a real estate developer. She bought Le Negresco in 1957 and spent almost 8 years restoring it to its old glory.
Hotel Negresco was the rendez-vous place of artists, writers, politicians, and members of the high society from all over the world. Personalities like Queen Elizabeth of England, Emperor of Japan, Hirohito, Aga Khan III, President Truman, Sir Winston Churchill, artists like Henri Matisse, Picasso, Marc Chagall and actors like Alain Delon, Grace Kelly, Kirk Dougles, clint Eastwood and Elizabeth Taylor.
In October1974 it was proclaimed a National Historic Monument.

Yesterday we brought home our new Christmas tree, Sir Mudknuckles the 1st.
Sir Mudknuckles is a… unique tree. You see, he has devoted the better part of his life to protecting his Siamese Brother from the elements. We didn't realize this until after we cut him down and saw that he was completely naked on one side. We decided that this was the most hilarious thing ever and decided to take him home anyway, despite his shortcomings. He is a special tree.
When we brought our newest addition home, we set right to work on decorating his naked body. (For some reason I didn't manage to get a photo of his ugly side. I promise to turn him around at some point so you can marvel at his indecency.) While we decorated, I told the story of Christmas. Well, since I don't know the story of Christmas since I was raised in a Jewish household, it was actually the story of a rad dude named Jesus who was going to hang out at his buddy, Kyle's house, only to find out that Kyle was in trouble with the law. But don't worry, Jesus bailed Kyle out of jail, like the pal he is.
After unwrapping all our old ornaments and spending over an hour making our tree perfect, Harley proceeded to knock every ornament within her reach right off the tree again.
We even let her put up her own special ornament! This is her namesake, Harley Quinn. They are both insane.
She sat under the tree on her little kitten butt and proceeded to grab the ornaments with both paws and pull on them until they fell off. We are assuming that she has dragged off most of these ornaments to her secret lair inside the bed. No, not under the bed, inside the bed. We know it is there because we can hear her moving around in there at night. She is like Kreacher. Harley is a special cat.
We did manage to get all the ornaments (we think) back up on our beautiful, strange, partially naked tree. Now it really feels like Christmas! In fact, it feels so much like Christmas that I desperately needed to make cookies. It has been all of three days since I have baked cookies. I was going through withdrawals!
Spiced Pie Crust Cookies
- 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 1/3 Cup Shortening
- 2 Tablespoons Warm Water, Or As Needed
- 1 Tablespoon Shortening
- ¼ Cup White Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Dash Ground Ginger
- 1/4 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
- Mix flour and salt together in a bowl, and use a pastry cutter to cut in 1/3 cup of shortening until the mixture forms pea-size balls. With a fork, form a small well in the center of the mixture, and pour in water, a couple of teaspoons at a time, and stir with the fork to mix in the water and form a dough. Incorporate each addition of water before adding the next, until about 3/4 of the flour mixture has formed a stiff dough. Work a little more water in with your hands, and shape the dough into a ball.
- Working on a well-floured work surface with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 by 16 inches, and about 1/8-inch thick. Spread 1 tablespoon of shortening over the surface of the dough with a soft spatula, and sprinkle sugar all over the dough square. Sprinkle the dough with spices. Pick up a long edge of dough, and tightly roll the dough into a log shape. With a sharp knife, slice the log into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are lightly browned and sizzling on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Cool on paper towels; freeze extras for later.
Now it is time to face the music: I need to study for finals. So goodbye weekend and goodbye life. At least for the next week. It's time to buckle down, get my study on, and get those A's!
How are you preparing for the holidays?
Tell me a happy Christmas story. A very long, happy Christmas story to distract me from my studying.

United States District Court, N.D. California
September 1, 2017
BRADLEY GORDON, Plaintiff,v.APM TERMINALS NORTH AMERICA, INC., Defendant.
MARIA-ELENA JAMES, United States Magistrate Judge
APM Terminals North America, Inc. ("APMTNA") has
filed a Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure 12(b)(2) and (b)(5). Plaintiff filed an Opposition
(Dkt. No. 13) and APMTNA filed a Reply (Dkt. No. 19). The
Court finds this matter suitable for disposition without oral
argument and VACATES the September 7, 2017
hearing. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78(b); Civ. L.R.
7-1(b). Having considered the parties' positions, the
relevant legal authority, and the record in this case, the
Court GRANTS APMTNA's Motion for the
following reasons.
following allegations are taken from Plaintiffs Complaint.
See Notice of Removal, Ex. A (Compl.), Dkt. No. 1.
APMTNA and Plaintiff entered into a contract by which APMTNA
agreed to employ Plaintiff to work at its place of business
in Singapore for a period of no less than five years, unless
he sought a job within the Maersk Group after three years of
employment with APMTNA.[1] Id. at 3, 5-6; see
Pedersen Decl., Ex. A (Agreement), Dkt. No.
Plaintiff was required to move from San Francisco, California
to Singapore. Id. at 3. APMTNA promised Plaintiff
that his position would include a portfolio management role
on APMTNA's management team; this would offer Plaintiff
investment opportunities through APMTNA's affiliation
with Maersk. Id. at 5-6. APMTNA also promised to
fully promote and develop its business activities in
Singapore and to create investment opportunities for
Plaintiff, which would allow Plaintiff to secure additional
income beyond that set forth in his employment contract.
Id. In addition, Plaintiff would be employed for a
time period that would last until at least one of his minor
children graduated from high school in Singapore.
Id. Plaintiff accepted the offer of employment, quit
his secure senior position at Deutsche Bank in San Francisco,
and moved to Singapore with his family. Id. at 3, 6.
On or
about February 22, 2016, APMTNA terminated Plaintiffs
employment without cause and with three years remaining on
the contract. Id. Plaintiff alleges APMTNA knew it
would cease doing business in Singapore prior to the
expiration of the promised five-year term of employment.
Id. APMTNA knew there would be no business
development in Singapore in which Plaintiff could invest, and
knew it would not require Plaintiffs employment for the
period stated in his employment agreement. Id.
February 21, 2017, Plaintiff filed this action in San
Francisco Superior Court. See Compl. Plaintiff
asserts causes of action for (1) breach of contract, (2)
common counts, (3) breach of the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, (4) fraud, and (5) violation of California
Labor Code section 970. See Id. at 2-6. On July 14,
2017, APMTNA removed the action to this Court. See
Notice of Removal. APMTNA now moves to dismiss the Complaint
for lack of personal jurisdiction and for insufficient
service of process. See Mot. Alternatively, APMTNA
requests the Court quash the attempted service. See
Id. at 2 n.1.
Court first considers whether it may exercise personal
jurisdiction over APMTNA before determining whether service
was sufficient.
Rule 12(b)(2)
Legal Standard
12(b)(2) governs motions to dismiss for lack of personal
jurisdiction. The plaintiff bears the burden of establishing
that the court has jurisdiction over the defendant.
Pebble Beach Co. v. Caddy, 453 F.3d 1151, 1154 (9th
Cir. 2006). However, this demonstration requires that the
plaintiff "make only a prima facie showing of
jurisdictional facts to withstand the motion to
dismiss." Love v. Associated Newspapers, Ltd.,
611 F.3d 601, 608 (9th Cir. 2010). To make this showing,
"the plaintiff need only demonstrate facts that if true
would support jurisdiction over the defendant."
Ballard v. Savage, 65 F.3d 1495, 1498 (9th Cir.
1995). "Uncontroverted allegations in the complaint
must be taken as true, and conflicts over statements
contained in affidavits must be resolved in [plaintiff's]
favor." Love, 611 F.3d at 608; see Bell
Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (in
considering a motion to dismiss, a court must accept all of
the plaintiff's allegations as true and construe them in
the light most favorable to the plaintiff). Otherwise, a
defendant could prevent a plaintiff from meeting his burden
simply by contradicting the plaintiff's affidavits.
Farmers Ins. Exch. v. Portage La Prairie Mut. Ins.
Co., 907 F.2d 911, 912 (9th Cir. 1990).
properly exercise personal jurisdiction over a defendant
"if it is permitted by a long-arm statute and if the
exercise of jurisdiction does not violate federal due
process." Pebble Beach Co., 453 F.3d at 1154.
"Federal courts ordinarily follow state law in
determining the bounds of their jurisdiction over
persons." Daimler AG v. Bauman, __ U.S. __,
134 S.Ct. 746, 753 (2014). Because "California's
long-arm statute allows the exercise of personal jurisdiction
to the full extent permissible under the U.S. Constitution,
" a court's inquiry centers on whether exercising
jurisdiction comports with due process. Id.;
see Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 410.10 ("A
court of this state may exercise jurisdiction on any basis
not inconsistent with the Constitution of this state or of
the United States."). Due process requires that
nonresident defendants have "minimum contact"
with the forum state such that the exercise of personal
jurisdiction "does not offend traditional notions of
fair play and substantial justice." International
Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 316 (1945)
(internal quotations omitted); see Walden v. Fiore,
134 S.Ct. 1115, 1121 (2014) ("For a State to exercise
jurisdiction consistent with due process, the defendant's
suit-related conduct must create a substantial connection
with the forum State.").
A court
may exercise either general or specific jurisdiction over a
nonresident defendant. Helicopteros Nacionales de
Colombia, S.A. v. Hall, 466 U.S. 408, 414 (1984).
General jurisdiction exists where a defendant has
"substantial" or "continuous and
systematic" contacts with the forum. Id. at
415. If general jurisdiction exists, the forum has
jurisdiction over the defendant regardless of where the
events giving rise to the litigation occurred. Id.
If a
defendant's contacts with the forum are not sufficient to
establish general jurisdiction, specific jurisdiction may
still be shown. The Court may assert specific jurisdiction
over a nonresident defendant if three requirements are met:
(1) The non-resident defendant must purposefully direct his
activities or consummate some transaction with the forum or
resident thereof; or perform some act by which he
purposefully avails himself of the privilege of conducting
activities in the ...

Championship dancers enjoy winning, but fun comes first
By Cassandra A. Fortin and Cassandra A. Fortin,Special to The Sun
January 27, 2008
The 11 members of the Fallston High School Dance Team have the same mindset when they compete. They practice hard before the competition, and then it's all about team spirit, said AnnaMarie Neunabor, one of the team's three captains. "When we compete, we go to have fun," Neunabor said. "If we win, we win, and if we don't, then we don't. We never know how we'll do in a competition, we just know we're going to do our best." The odds seemed to be against the team this year because they lost six of their senior members last year.
Why I love Harford's school bus depot system [Letter]
December 17, 2013
I am an 11 t h -grade student at the Natural Resources Agricultural Sciences magnet school program in Harford County. A common topic of conversation these days with magnet schools is the new bus depot stop program. While many people dislike this program for very good reasons, I enjoy it. I like it because last year I had a bus pickup of 5:30 a.m. This year I leave my house at 6:15 a.m. for the bus pick up at 6:30 a.m. from Fallston High School. I also enjoy getting home at 3 p.m. rather than 3:45 p.m., which is the time I got home last year.
Troupe steadily improves, step-kick by step-kick
By CASSANDRA A. FORTIN and CASSANDRA A. FORTIN,SPECIAL TO THE SUN
February 12, 2006
2000 is a year recalled fondly by members of Fallston High School's dance team club. At the same time, it's one the dancers would like to forget. It was the year when the school founded the team. It also was the year when the dance troupe, led by a science teacher with no dance expertise, performed at just four school athletic functions and finished 31st out of 36 teams at a regional competition. "We didn't know what we were doing, but we made do with what we had," said Carrie Cummings, an earth science teacher who has been the coach of the team since the beginning.

Alice Puckett returns to coaching [Editorial]
Editorial from The Aegis
September 10, 2013
Getting it right 80 percent of the time is pretty impressive, especially when that average is over the span of 26 years. It's especially impressive if that percentage reflects an athletic team's ability to win under a particular coach. In her 26 years of coaching field hockey at Fallston High School, Alice Puckett amassed a winning record of right around 80 percent, a number that's even more impressive when the percentage of losses is at around 15 percent (the rest were ties). She retired from coaching four years ago because she wanted to attend all of her daughter's college field hockey games.

This weekend we visited a Fall Festival at Halter, Inc.
It was a random event that I found online, but it was SO worth it. We had to dodge a couple of brief rain showers, but we still had fun.
We started with the Haunted Trail.
Then there was the pony rides…
Grace is a professional horsewoman now.
Then Grace got her very first face painting. She was amazing for it – the artist even commented on how well she did.
"I would like a little flower on my cheek, please!"
We couldn't miss the petting zoo.
I love when Grace gets to be around more animals than just goats (like at the zoo).
Llamas ARE pretty shady though….
"And to put it simply: Alpacas are pleasant-looking and llamas look like they are constantly judging you."

Stock benchmarks succumbed to the last hour of selloff on Friday and closed in the red in a volatile session as metal, bank and pharma stocks bled. Watch this space as we bring you in-depth analysis of today's trade and top trading strategies for the upcoming sessions.
The Reserve Bank is likely to increase its key rates by 0.25 per cent this year as inflation is expected to be at a higher range due to wide fiscal deficit and high prices of oil and farm produce, a report said on Friday.
A meeting of committee of directors is "scheduled on Tuesday, March 13, 2018 to inter-alia consider and subject to market and other conditions, issue listed, unsecured, rated, redeemable, non-convertible debentures (NCDs Series I and II) on private placement basis aggregating up to Rs 3,000 crore", the company said in a BSE filing.

Sensex drops 44 pts, Nifty50 settles below 10,250; RCom plunges 10%, Adani Ent 7%
Japanese stocks rose on Friday as tensions over North Korea eased after US President Donald Trump agreed to a meeting with Kim Jong Un that could come by May, but gains were capped by caution over the coming US February jobs report. The Nikkei ended 0.5 per cent higher at 21,469.20, In the morning, it was up as much as 2.4 per cent to 21,884.45, the highest since March 1, on the news about North Korea.
Shares of Gitanjali Gems today declined by another 5 per cent in morning trade after the CBI sent fresh summonses to billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi. Modi and Choksi, promoter of Gitanjali Group, are accused in the fraudulent issuance of Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) and Letters of Credit (LCs) worth USD 2 billion (approximately Rs 12,636 crore) by the Punjab National Bank.

The Hong Kong dollar extended its slide to a fresh 33-year trough on Friday, a day after the city's de facto central bank said it may not intervene until the currency peg touches the floor of its trading band. The currency hit 7.8440 per US dollar, inching closer to the weak end of the 7.75-7.85 per dollar band under Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system.

Japan's central bank kept monetary settings unchanged on Friday and stuck to its upbeat view on the economy, underscoring its conviction that its massive stimulus programme is helping drive inflation toward its elusive target.

Bharti Airtel will raise Rs 3,000 crore through listed, unsecured, rated, redeemable, non-convertible debentures through private placement, for which it's committee of directors will meet on March 13.

Equity oriented (equity, equity savings and arbitrage), balanced and ELSS schemes have seen net inflows of Rs 21,294 crore in February as against Rs 23,055 crore in January.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has returned the consent application filed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and some of its executives in the colocation case, delaying its share-sale plans. The regulator wants to investigate the alleged preferential treatment to a few high-frequency traders and brokers to the exchange's trading platform before considering the consent application.
Punjab National Bank (PNB) has requested Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to allow it to provide for losses in the nearly Rs 13,000-crore Nirav Modi-Gitanjali Gems scam over four quarters instead of at one go as it expects to recover 40 per cent of the loaned funds.
Nifty50 on Thursday snapped its 6-day losing streak and made a Hammer-like pattern on the daily charts. During the day, the index respected its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) around 10,140 which is now likely to act as a short-term support for the index going ahead. Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Securities noted that the RSI indicator is turning from its deep oversold territory. The index saw support-based buying as well as short coverings and now needs to hold above immediate resistance of 10,276 to witness an upmove towards 10,333 and then 10,400.
Nifty futures on the Singapore Stock Exchange were trading 35.50 points, or 0.35 per cent, higher at 10,273.50, indicating a positive start for the Nifty50 on Dalal Street.

South Korean stocks enjoyed their best day since May with a rise of 1.76 per cent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.6 per cent, while Australia firmed 0.5 per cent.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average index gained 93.85 points, or 0.38 per cent, to settle at 24,895.21. The S&P500 index gained 12.17 points, or 0.45 per cent, to 2,738.97. The Nasdaq Composite index rose 31.30 points, or 0.42 percent, to 7,427.95.
US President Donald Trump pressed ahead on Thursday with import tariffs of 25 per cent on steel and 10 percent for aluminum but exempted Canada and Mexico and offered the possibility of excluding other allies, backtracking from an earlier "no-exceptions" stance, Reuters reported.

"Artists can break everyday rules to open up a part of our mind so that we can see things anew"
Ralph Rugoff
We are in a constant state of change. Our atoms are energetically vibrating spaces, our blood cells rejuvinate in cycles, our skin and hair are growing and shedding constantly; we mirror nature which is forever changing. We have the capacity to take objects and change them. Or, we can take objects and change the way we look at them. We can change ourselves, or we can change the way we look at ourselves. We can change the world, or we can change the way we look at the world. My point is – changing our perspective changes our reality. Starting by changing our perspective is the most powerful way of changing our reality. Someone somewhere suggested that a miracle is a change in perspective. I agree.
Don't get me wrong – there are rules that are wonderful. Gravity is one of my favourite things, and the laws of Physics never fail to enthrall, excite and fascinate me. As a child, I used to often dream I could fly and I craved that weightlessness. My favourite moments were those just as I woke, still partially in dream state, where I believed I could. I found my own weightlessness later in life by switching mediums: Under the water, SCUBA diving. It ironically took many kgs of heavy equipment to evade the laws of gravity, but it was only possible because the laws/rules are different under the water, proving the obvious contextual nature of laws. Jacques Yves Cousteau, a man who even in his death I admire greatly, said this: "From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free." As soon as I went skydiving, I realised that while the ocean brings sweet reprieve from earthly gravity momentarily, gravity is such a wonderful thing, to be embraced. Falling is more fun than flying; it keeps us humble and reminds us of our mortality. It is our bodies that fall, our spirits that soar.
The rules and laws of change, however, are blurry at best, perhaps highlighting that it isn't about the rules, it is about the change. Even though there is a rather trendy "BREAK THE RULES!" rebellion that sweeps through all generations at one time or another, rules do bring some order and help us to categorise and simplify the way we look at things, and they assist us with drawing lines. Artists can expose rules that we may never have recognised ourselves, they make, break, bend or eliminate rules entirely, they make fun of rules, all to make a point, to express themselves, to challenge our grey matter, to change the world, to be beautiful, to be ugly… They take us somewhere other than we'd be without witnessing. Change, like art, can be exquisite or ghastly, and we can all testify to having experienced the contrasts of change and the bizarre realisation that painful change can be the best kind.
An artist such as Dali forged his own unique path. The thin, spindly, eerily seeping legs of his horse and elephants, the way he represented a clock as melting off the side of a table, draped over the branch of a tree… Through his creations and images, even though we know that elephants do not have legs like that and clocks do not melt and drape, he confronts head on our ideas about objects, and how we think about things, and it no longer becomes about the elephant or its legs, but about ideas and about what is possible. I learn more about time looking at his painting than I do staring at a clock.
What I appreciate most about Dali, is that in his paintings, he empowers his objects to melt into and out of each other. You think you are looking at a woman, but you are not just looking at a woman, you are looking at a woman, at an instrument, at a measure of time, at a tree, at an animal, at anything else you can or cannot see. I see form, movement, freedom, beauty, distortion, captivity, potential and unending contrasts. He releases his subjects, and thus reality and us in it, to melt into a place where there are far fewer lines between things. To me, there is very little difference between a woman, music, plants, time, and so the list goes on. As a young child, I remember being so struck by his painting with the horse and its spindly legs, and I have never been able to erase it from my mind. I never will. Without always being able to change every aspect of our reality at will, we are always able to change our perspective on that reality. Which does, of course, thus change reality because it is a subjective entity.
Quantum mechanics simmers and distills us down to our smallest parts, which unify us with every single other thing on the planet, in a Herman Hesse way. Particles and atoms. A stone, a plant, an animal, another human being – we all reduce to atoms, and this is the ultimate leveller. In this age when the future of our planet is relying on our stewardship of it, I believe we need to embrace what unites us. This absolutely fascinates me. If we look at the behaviour of electrons, one cannot know exactly where an electron will move to, but if we study the probability wave for that electron, we can predict where it may most likely move to next. Humans are similar – if we longitudinally studied each other, we could plot the most likely move someone would make next, according to their prior behaviour and patterns which are obviously best studied over time. If humans behave like particles, we could be anywhere at any time, until we look for and see them. For example, if I think about Joe Bloggs, I do not know where he is, and he could be anywhere. But I could look for him, trace his movements via communication or his routine, find out where he is, go there, and finally see him. When we choose to look for and see each other, we ground each other. In all my life, I have never felt the need to be regularly grounded more than I do now. But we can also rely on people, change and art to be predictable in its unpredictability. Rules and laws are the set parts, and even they change and are disproved or expanded upon over time.
Many things are determined more by probability than certainty. The lines blur just as the rules do.The fundamental nature of reality is affected by this at every level. Artists take this "reality", and they stretch the probabilities in different directions. The reason we can identify with Dali, for example, is because we have seen a clock, and we have seen something melt. We understand the noun and the verb separately, so putting them together in different combinations (clock + melt rather than clock + tick or butter + melt) challenges our perspective. For me, this only further emphasizes that the more I consciously see, feel, taste, experience and live, the more I watch the lines between me, music, art, nature, people and "things" blur, connecting us more than dividing us.
In essence: The full nature of reality is far beyond our wildest dreams. But, in our wildest dreams, and in music, in art, sometimes much more feels and thus is possible than in our waking moments. Which begs the question: Are we perhaps more awake in our dreams and more asleep with our eyes open sometimes? What are we missing, by following the "rules" that we assimilate, project and can be confined by? It is not under debate: Even though we do not use a fraction of what our bodies, minds and spirits are capable of, we as humans have the unique ability to change our perspective, patterns and our direction. Any time spent or melted on music, nature, art or genuine connection is an investment and if more of us did more of that, our world would be in a better place. It can be. We can be. We must.
The art of change lies in perspective.

For those of you who are in the throws of managing career and little ones… this is a post from my favorite blogger, Katrina Anne Willis. It's a reminder of how fast time goes, savor it!
I got to have coffee with a toddler this morning.
Well, I had coffee and she, a juice box. My fabulous new friend, Michelle and I talked for two hours while her daughter calmly went about the business of coloring and nibbling on a blueberry muffin.
"Does the time really go that quickly?" Michelle asked. And because I am the mother of three teenagers and a tween, I said yes. Yes, it goes quickly. I don't know if it's because I still believe I'm 29 or if the years just speed by with no concern for our ability to keep pace. I'm so far out of the baby stage, though, that pieces of it already elude me.
I have to think hard to recall that all-encompassing, breathtaking, breathe-it-in baby love, the Johnson's Baby Powder smells, The Desitin under my fingernails, the late night feedings, the sleepless rocking chair moments when…

Watching Soi Cowboy Wake Up
Watching the soi wake up is an enlightening experience. Many of the girls live above the bars in which they work - so we see them emerging, sober and docile, into the soi to buy lunch from one of the countless food carts. Office workers pop into the soi to buy food, looking warily at the girls and hastily beating a retreat once they're loaded up with som tam.
Later in the afternoon, some of the girls who've managed to acquire their own apartments (or spent the night in someone else's) begin to arrive - some by foot, some in taxis or on mopeds or motorbikes. Some even arrive on the back of their Thai boyfriends' motorbikes (which the girls probably paid for).

Mavic is a game changer in the RC hobbyist community and even the professional film making community. yea yea.. some may review that it's a good drone, but not without problems. So well, I crashed once with my own stupidity and error. I was desperate to fix it and I was happy to find a few ifixit videos available.
I am not sure if I should share the models here yet, coz they are all in beta testing and requires some modifications, so it's too embarrassing to share.
1. Gimbal
2. Landing cover?
I have no idea how you call this thing. After my first crash I lost one side of this tiny plastic. So as usual… I made a replacement. At first it may seems the angle is impossible to imitate, but as I measure it it's a just nice angle that is quite easily replicated. (my radius is wrong though)
3. DIY camera hood
Okay I have to admit this is pretty redundant. First I saw somebody on youtube made an ingenious way to cut out the original plastic protection and paint it into a working hood. Few days later the cheap injection molded hood goes all around the internet and ebay. I could've bought it, but I treated it as a challenge to model this *$&^(@ shape out. It's not perfect, the semi-circle thing doesn't fit with the rubber cover at all. I also made a mistake by assuming the camera is centralized, which is not the case, so I ended up cutting up more side wall. For this poorly designed beta is too embarrassing to share the model.
4. Glued body
That's all for now! I hope I never have to update this page again. Please check out my instagram for the shots I took with this Mavic.

IPL goes South Africa
"Cricket is the game of gentlemen". It is the game of limitless boundaries and special bonding. But in India, it has gone a level ahead and become a religion and the players have become Gods. This game of gentlemen is now maintained by great business houses and entrepreneurs. Indian Premier League (IPL) is the outcome of the same. The IPL was formed stating that the format of the game needs change and new talent is to be brought in so as to gain the maximum. The truth has a different side, it remain no more a game but has converted in glamour and money. The players from all around the world formed a team and were auctioned for millions of rupees. The television broadcasting rights were sold for billions and it swiped everything that came its way and emerged as a single winner on the small screen. The newspapers were full of the happenings of the world's biggest cricket mela. Everyone make profit out of it. And it was estimated that the second IPL will bring write new records and bring huge money.
But this year the game faces a new game. The elections are due in the month of April and May and the government denies to compromise with them. The Central Home Ministry issues strong notice that the safety of the nation is first and it cannot provide adequate security forces for the game. The state governments were also not in the mood to compromise with elections. The chairman of the IPL Mr. Lalit Modi and BCCI tries its best to convince them and worked on different match schedules but all in vain.
And finally between all the critism they have to take a stand to shift the game to a new venue outside India. The decision was not easy to make as it is the last thing to be expected. There were speculations that either England or South Africa will host the show. But South Africa wins the race.
In today's era of recession, it is considered a bad sign for the Indian economy to take the game away from India as many earning prospects are lost. For the ground level the ones who earn by making face paintings, flags, banners, eatable have lost their business. Although it sounds small but it contributes a large sum to the income of the people. The direct revenues like tickets sold for the stadium, transportation charges, hotel industry and other service providers have lost their huge income.
However the board of IPL and BCCI will not be much affected as they get their revenue through selling broadcasting rights and publicity, which they'll still get. The match timings are kept the same as they were earlier so as to earn the largest of TV viewing population. The promoters of the match have lost their money significantly as India is always the best choice for cricket matches. The official partners will now have to pay extra money to travel to South Africa.
The team sponsors seems to have no worries about the venue but the concern people says they have no other choice but to go with the board's decision. A lot of money will go for their accommodation and travel compared in India. South Africa will surely going to gain from hosting the show. The entire world's media will be covering the event and a lot of match tourists will come. India has lost all this by moving the game abroad. The government of India is true in mentioning that the security of the players cannot be taken lightly, and all the cricket playing nations are now more concerned about the security of their players after the Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked in Pakistan. Due to the elections the security personals of India will be posted to the election booths and other areas thus if becomes infeasible to them to safe guard the matches. The issue of postponing the IPL was again a tough task as all the nations has a busy cricket calendar ahead.
There might be the other side of the issue which some of the economists revel that this is the time of immense recession and IPL board was sure of not making the expected amount of money so they use elections as an excuse and deliberately moved out of India so as to make themselves isolated and put the blame over Indian government. No matter they gain or loss but one thing is sure that the Indian people have lost their money and their sentiments.
