MPs have demanded disclosure of all personal files compiled on them by undercover police officers while they were in Parliament. The call came during an urgent question in the House of Commons following revelations that police had kept a number of MPs under surveillance right into the 1990s.
Police are accused of spying on left-wing MPs including Jack Straw, Harriet Harman and Peter Hain. The surveillance began in the 1970s and 1980s when many of them were involved in causes like the anti-apartheid movement. It continued even after they became ministers in the Labour government after the 1997 landslide.
Ex-minister Peter Hain said: "I can understand why someone like me was spied on when I was campaigning against apartheid. It was a cold war mentality and many thought we were Stalinists, even though we strongly opposed Moscow. What is difficult to understand is why it continued for so long afterwards."
Surveillance continued on Jack Straw even after he was appointed Home Secretary by Tony Blair, raising questions of who authorised the operation and if there was any democratic oversight. Despite the Urgent Question being directed toward the current Home Secretary, Theresa May, she sent her Minister for Police Mike Penning instead.
The minister was given a rough ride as successive MPs from the Labour benches demanded their files be disclosed to them. Penning pledged to publish as much as he could, but warned some elements may have to be redacted for national security reasons. This led to cries of "pathetic" from Labour MPs.
Dennis Skinner MP suggested that police surveillance was only ever carried out against left-wingers. He claimed that had surveillance not been limited to the left then paedophiles such as Jimmy Savile might have been caught. This was dismissed with "contempt" by the minister.
Penning went on to claim this was the first time he had come to the despatch box during his two years in the job and not said he was proud of British police.
The breach of confidentiality of MPs was also described by Speaker John Bercow as something he "takes very seriously indeed". He ordered senior officers to investigate what House of Commons officials knew at the time or since.
Bercow also offered to look into concerns that MPs phones might have been tapped, in contravention of accepted privacy arrangements.

You think you are all that
But you have no volume, too flat
When you walk, the boys stare up the street
You continue to walk on with your two left feet
Wearing high heels and a short skirt
Thinking you're sexy when you are only dirt
You batter your eyelashes for guys
You're so ugly, they go cross-eyes
You wear too much make-up, you clown
Making all the boys, fall and frown
They want a girl who can laugh
Be gone, darling! They had enough
They want a girl who knows it best
A girl who can work the mattress
So leave, Go! I hate to bust your bubble
Make way for me, bitch. My name is Trouble!

This anabolic steroid should be kept away from unauthorized use, pets, sunlight, moisture, and children. This steroid should not be flushed down the toilet or poured into a drain. Primobolan injections, capsules, or pills should be discarded after having a word with a pharmacist or local waste disposal company on how to safely discard Primobolan in case of expired Primobolan tablets or if the tablets or injections are not to be used any more.
presents you another cutting cycle for summer which will make you look hard and solid. As a base we will use testosterone enanthate however you may replace it with testosterone propionate as in some individuals enanthate will make visible water retention but I dont think this is a problem as you dont prepare for the contest, right? 🙂 On the other hand switching to propionate will bring you another headache as you will have to inject it EOD plus you will inject Primobolan ( Methenolone Enanthate) 2-3 times per week so having to inject primo and test propionate will keep you really busy and will not give your injection sites enough time to rest.

Plans CAN Change!
|Food store just across the central valley from us
My plan was to write an update this morning but my lead-in has now changed. A 7.6 earthquake happened about 1 hour ago about 120 km. west of us and at a depth of 20km (very shallow). I have heard reports of cars bouncing (on their tires), buildings creaking and groaning and trees down. Communication lines are down due to the excessive use of the phone lines so there are no reports from Sámara (western Costa Rica) where the epicentre was. Pray for the people in the area. I was driving down our valley at the time and did not feel it though I saw many people out on the street. One person motioned for me to slow down and I was trying to figure out why. Now I know. Linda heard the whoosh of the sound that a earthquake makes as it came down our valley. She said the ground was rolling for about 30 seconds. I am waiting to hear from some partner organizations about the need for a direct response.
There is always an adventure. We have several more on the immediate horizon. One of our corner stones in our community development philosophy is called CHE (Community Health Evangelism). Our focus over the next year is with the continued development of a leadership network. Linda and I leave for a regional meeting of CHE leaders in El Salavador on Friday for 5 days. We are taking Cecilia, a local who has tremendous potential with us to introduce her to like-minded people. It will be her first time in a plane. You may have remembered me talking about her previously. She has a huge love for God and a huge desire to impact communities around her through feeding programs/VBS programs for kids and starting women groups that study the Bible. Pray for Linda and I as this is totally in Spanish with no opportunity for English. I have been asked for a 20 min presentation. Wow! Pray for a deepening relationship and future ministry focus with Cecilia.
We are back a few days and then I am off to Nicaragua for the annual Alliance pastor's retreat for Central America. Linda is staying home to man the fort. We are traveling by bus up to Managua. Another adventure but I am looking forward to spending some time with the guys and getting to know them better. There are 22 of us. Thankfully it's not a "chicken" bus.
|Playing with the kids in Guatemala
Days later, the adventure continues as I travel to Guatemala. Linda will be staying behind to be a "Mom" for the Derksen girls as the parent are in another country. There are several Canadian Alliance churches who have partnered with Impact Ministries in Tactic, Guatemala. Impact focuses on working with the Mayan population and having an impact on the poor and uneducated. I will join Stony Plain Alliance for several days before taking a bus down to Guatemala City to meet with local Alliance pastors that I am praying that doors will open where we can partner with them and empower them in some of their local community development initiatives.
Columbia is next as I travel to meet with Latino Alliance leaders for several days. Afterwards, I have been invited to travel north of Bogota through the mountains to visit churches where the national Alliance church has been part of an organization that provides micro-loans to the poor. I am looking forward to learning from their experience and seeing how God has used this valuable community development tool in so many ways.
|Drug Rehab homes for a 1 year stay
Thank you for your continued support through prayer and giving. If you want to be part of Linda's prayer letter, contact her at email@example.com. There is always a need for financial help. One Alliance church donated a sum that is directed to helping a local CR church with their community development focus in working with a drug rehab program. We have many ways that you can help. Ask!
Guatemala, Mexico and More
Last I wrote, we hade two trips ahead. One to Guatemala and a return trip to the Tarahumara of Mexico. First, I had gone to Guatemala to join in a week-long YWAM-sponsored course on micro-loans focusing on the poor of Latin-America. This course was arranged by a local Alliance church, Iglesia Galilea. They have a focused community development program with schools, smokeless stoves and building new housing structures. We were shown a Mayan village where they have a strong ministry focus. This village gets shut off every raining season because there are 4 rivers to cross to get there. I had a great time playing with the kids at the local school. A special part of this course was that many from the community and local government attended so they could in-turn help their community. And they all were presented with a clear message of the Gospel and the Biblical theology of why you help others in need! It was all in Spanish so I lasted pretty well through the first 3 days before my brain just didn't want to work anymore. The course was informative and I was able to take away many highlights. I had several outside meetings with other ministries that could lead into strong partnerships. I love how God brings these people into my path. It happens over and over. We also spent some time in Antigua. It's a beautiful place to see.
On our return trip to the Copper Canyon, Linda and I brought in another $18,000 that many of you gave to the Global Emergency Relief Fund of the C&MA. Based on our last trip, this will buy about 14 tons of food that will be distributed to about 1700-1800 people. We did not have an Alliance Men's work team to help us so I was wondering how we would be able to separate the 100lbs sack of food into 1 kg bags without a big group. When we were in Guacayvo, the kids came through and I think we were ready to distribute earlier than when the adults had helped :). After providing a hot meal and Pastor Tomás giving the Gospel to the group, we gave out food to about 225 families. This was less than last time as it was reported to us that many were sick and could not make the hike. We went to the second village, the same area as last time, but we went a bit further in to a more central meeting point. At one point in the traveling, we crossed over a dirt airstrip and we were told this was a drug cartel airstrip. Here we fed about 180 families. This was also less than less time but many of the males had been literally taken by the military to "volunteer" to fight forest fires. For both villages, we were joined by a Dr from Virginia who was on his 18th volunteer trip in to run medical clinics. We also were with 2 contractors who were doing an evaluation of water systems and buildings and drew up plans for a possible improvement project. Again what a blessing to be part of this humanitarian aid. Pray as we plan for the next step. I am looking to take an agriculturist specialist and a Geologist/Water specialist as we look at finding a local spot to drill a well and provide much-needed water and build into the ability to expand their agriculture ability.
We will be in Winnipeg for a week for General Assembly C&MA. I have the privilege of being a co-presenter along with two other members of the world-wide Justice & Compassion team. Linda and I have 3 other speaking engagements that you are welcome to come to. At High River Baptist Church on June 28 at 7pm. At High River Alliance Church on July 8 at 10am and at Brooks Alliance Church on July 15 at for the morning service. And we get to spend time with family and friends!!!!
|Alliance church with house at back
I want to leave you with one story from Guatemala. This was back in the woods near the Mayan village we went to that gets cut off by 4 rivers. We were getting a tour by a local Alliance pastor through the community and saw the church which Linda said it looked like an outhouse; but it was a building donated from a local owner. At one point, I had asked the pastor about his family but he didn't answer me. Later, our guide told us this story. This pastor and his family had been living outside of the community. Their young son, less than 10 years old, was found dead on the river bank outside of the community. He had been sexually abused and then killed. The community took an active role in helping and they found the man who had done this. It turned out that several kids had disappeared in this community and everyone had their suspicions who had done it but nothing had been done judicially. Remember, we are back away from any large towns. This is also a culture that went through many years of civil war and the scars run deep. This time, the man was taken to the police and he is now in jail. Here is the scary thing. If the evidence against this man disappears, the local police have no reason to keep this man jailed. The family of this man have made several threats against this Alliance pastor, his wife and 2 remaining kids. If this family is killed, (remember the recent civil war) then there is no evidence against this sexual predator. If the family is killed, he is released back into their community. The family is the only evidence that this child was killed in such a way. So they have moved to live immediately behind this little church for safety. This pastor says he will not move away. God has him and his family there for a reason. Please pray for his safety and God's ability to work through this dangerous situation.
Almost 14 Tons of Food Aid
Well, the final numbers from March are in from providing an emergency food aid to the Tarahumara people group who live in the Copper Canyon area of Mexico. Almost 14 tons of food was purchased from funds provided by the Global Emergency Relief Fund of the C&MA. About a 1000 of the 1800 people served received about 50lbs of food that was to last them for several weeks. The rest receive about 25 lbs of food. The boarding school at Guacayvo received several weeks of food for the kids at the school who have nothing. And you may ask what is the point? Well, Isaiah 58 says to all of us that we are share our food with the hungry and provide the shelter for the homeless and cloth the naked so the the chains of injustice are broken and the oppressed are freed. And you know what, Linda and I get to do it all over again.
We travel back to the Copper Canyon for the last week of May. We saw evidence of how showing this love by giving needed food opened up hearts to hearing about what the love of Jesus is all about. And this in a culture where there is no word for "love"! Pray for us as we get to be apart of this amazing compassion response. Pray for the strengthening of relationships and hearts to be open to who Jesus is. Pray as we continue to evaluate the living conditions of the Tarahumara and how sustainable responses to their poverty and health can be addressed.
Back in Costa Rica, we continue to work with a group of Nicaraguan women in a barrio. They have a weekly Bible study and they have committed to reach into their community through a sewing cooperative. We met with the cooperative leadership last week for a leadership development training time. It's is so exciting to see them take ownership of their community. The group received their first big order – 40 bags!
Along this line of sewing…we are finding that sewing machines are a tool of community development that works. Another local community would like to start a cooperative. With that being said, I have a question for all of you. A thrift store in Salmon Arm wants to donate sewing machines. But the question is how do we get them down here. Any ideas? One idea given is to ship them down. Anybody have any expertise in this area? Is anybody willing to ship them down (by boat) for us? Lot's of questions. I need to compare the cost of shipping vs the cost of buying new machines local (but imported). Let me know.
Our schedule until mid-July is busy. May 11, I fly to Guatemala for a YWAM sponsored micro-business training session. I will be there for a week. After one day at home, Linda and I will be in the Copper Canyon for an additional short-term food aid. One week there, 2 weeks at home and then we are gone for a month. This includes a regional ministry retreat in Mexico and flying up to Canada for General Assembly. We will have 12 days in the Calgary area that I am looking forward to.
Some of you have been giving to our Approved Special account. This is a ministry directed account. It is called "The Patarra Project". Patarra is the barrio where the soup kitchen is and the kids that need help with either food or schooling costs. Because our community development work in Costa Rica is expanding in coming along churches that also are part of addiction counseling and prison ministry, we have had to change our Approved Special focus. It is now called "SunCompassion / Costa Rica" which better reflects our justice and compassion work in this country. So if you would like to give directly to an area, designate it to SunCompassion / Costa Rica and let us know what area you want it directed to. I also want to thank those that give to the Global Advance Fund. This is what supports International Workers world-wide with their living costs.
Tarahumara Part Dos
Flying into Ciudad Juarez, we just didn't know what to expect. We were told it was the most dangerous city in the world. In actuality, it is one of the most dangerous cities in the world but in reality, it is like any other city in the world, where there is danger for the unwary. Thankfully, the cartels are taking it easy until government elections in July when there is a general fear the street fighting will start up again. Brenda, a ministry team leader for the Tarahumara, said to us it so difficult not to stop when you see someone bleeding out in the street, knowing you cannot stop for fear of your own life. Life is so different in other places and as we hadn't been to see the people of the Tarahumara yet, I didn't realize how true that statement is – Life is so different in other places. Yet, our God is God of it all.
|Rio Chico
We are in Mexico because of the food problem. The people of the Tarahumara don't have any. People are dying. Suicide due to lack of hope is high. From the Global Emergency Relief Fund of the C&MA of Canada, we were bringing in an $18,000 installment for food aid, to supply food to about 300 families that Pastor Tomás and his Mexican ministry team were working with. Except the money transfer did not arrive on time but God was faithful to provide. We left for Rio Chico the morning after arriving in Juaréz. We had eight hours of driving across the Sierras. Rio Chico is the mid-way point to the Copper Canyon. It is a camp that Pastor Tomás and his team built that serves the youth of the Juaréz area. Many Alliance churches in western Canada and in the States along with the Alliance Men's work teams had a hand in making this camp happen.
There was at least another 8-10 hour drive to the Canyon and we still had to buy food. We bought almost 8 tons or 71 metric tonnes of food that morning before heading out in a convoy of 5 vehicles including an Alliance Men's work team that was coming to help with the food distribution. Our destination was Guacayvo, the boarding school located deep in the Copper Canyon. Linda says she is thankful we arrived there at night. I remember seeing a pin point of light as I looked straight down into the darkness of the Canyon. I found out that was where we were going….over 2000 ft straight down over a road so tight that the 1/2 ton could not make it around a switch back or two in one turn. Two of our vehicles, including the food transport truck had to stay at the top as they just couldn't handle the road down.
We arrived at the boarding school. The school was originally built as a contact point with the local Tarahumara to show them the Gospel through love and action. The local kids had no school option. And the parents you need to understand, in their culture, school is not important, it is not a cultural value. But, you would receive food there so parents started to drop their kids off. Literally, drop them off. There are kids there that no one knows who the parents are!!! The government supplies a local teacher and now kids are receiving some learning too. The road down to the school is only 2 years old so for the previous 10 years, everything was carried in by burro over hours of trails. When I say everything, that means all the food, the cement to build the school and the 600lb wood stove to cook the food and more.
In the morning, we saw where we were. Astounding. In a valley, deeeepp in a valley, miles from everywhere with no signs of local civilization. Yet the word was out…there was to be food given. People started coming out of the rock, literally, walking over 8 hours knowing they would get a hot meal and a bag of food. We had to ferry the food down from the top of the canyon and start separating the food into smaller packets. We had rice, beans, flour, corn meal, pasta, oil….each family group receiving over 25 lbs of food. I had a census done and I figure we supplied food to about 935 people that day.
And this was only our first group of the Tarahumara to feed. The adventure would continue…
Isa 58:6-7 says
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
Our Week with the Tarahumara
Through the Global Emergency Relief Fund of the C&MA, I submitted a proposal for a $36,000 emergency food aid to the Tarahumara people that Pastor Tomás works with directly. Now you may think that this amount of money is a large sum and that will buy a good amount of food, it is and it does. But when you measure it against the need….I am still overwhelmed.
There are between 50,000-70,000 Tarahumara people living in the Copper Canyon. Many years ago, there were over a million. They have become a forgotten people, ignored by the government to the point of becoming extinct. One news report team recently called the Tarahumara "the poorest people in the world". Seventeen years ago, Pastor Tomás and his sidekick Brenda were led to reach out to this people group. Travelling for hours and days on burros and walking through the canyons, they searched out the people. As Pastor Tomás told me last week, these people have been waiting over 2000 years to hear about the life-saving love of Jesus.
The Tarahumara do not have a word for "love. That makes it kind of hard to share that concept. Each group of this people has a dialect that is just a bit different but between them, they can make themselves understood. There has been little to no interaction between the various groups. As one Tarahumara leader said, after seeing Tomás' unfailing commitment to them of walking through the canyons and helping out wherever he could with food and medical help, they began to accept him and understand that this man was not going away. This opened the door to the Gospel. Last week, Tomás had tears in his eyes as he explained to me that through the growth of new believers, the interaction is starting to be shared between Tarahumara groups for the purpose of sharing the Gospel (after 17 years).
You and I would think their living conditions as completely unacceptable. Most live in caves. They usually marry when they reach 12 or 13 years of age. There is rampant abuse of all kinds. Water is a luxury. Imagine hiking 4 or 6 hours or even more just to get some water. I met a girl of 13 with a child. Then Linda told me of a 16 year old with 6 children. Yes, you read that right! While giving food to one group, there was a unfamiliar smell in the air, but then I realized I was down-wind. It was the basic odours of humanity. There has been much written about the lack of disease and lack of medical problems with the Tarahumara. But it is still prevalent. TB is a killer. Hunger…Suicide…. It seems like if the kids can get past the age of 10, they have a greater chance of growing old but up to 50% die before reaching 10. Lack of water and the availability of food are enormous issues.
So you may thinking, how and why should we help these people? There are those that would say, let's move them into a town where there are hospitals and laws and water and bathrooms or that we need to educate them and teach them what is right and wrong according to…. Others have said leave them alone, they have survived to this point in time…
Let me leave you until the next time with this. Read Isaiah 58:6-9.
In my mind, how we are supposed to deal with this is straightforward.
My question to you "how do these few verse relate to you and your community that you live in?"
Oh ya, give to the Global Emergency Relief Fund!
PS. Click here to see many of the pictures from this first trip.
A quick note…then the Copper Canyon
your praying. We are continuing to get together every Tuesday afternoon with our group of Tica and Nica (Costa Rican and Nicaraguan) ladies for their time of fellowship and worship. Praying Latina-women-style is quite something. The faith shown is amazing. The noise is mind-blowing. It's also our time to do some training in basic community transformation issues like the value of woman, understanding money, leadership and working within a cooperative. As Cecilia, a local leader, said yesterday, "It's all about salvation!". With the sewing cooperative that has developed, the last 1.5 hours are spent sewing. A leadership group has been chosen. Please pray as we are part of the development of this amazing opportunity of creating self-worth, skills and livelihood opportunities. We are now up to 8 sewing machines for 18 ladies. AND another group wants to get started in a nearby community! Pray for direction.
Next week, Linda and I are off to Mexico, specifically the Copper Canyon area to meet with Pastor Tomás and his team. They work with the Turahumara group of people. After 17 years of ministry, this team is making inroads into this indigenous group. There are are 50,000 people living in and around a canyon that is bigger than the Grand Canyon. The problem is that in many ways, these are a forgotten people so many C&MA churches have sent short-term missions teams into this area. Lot's has been accomplished.
Yet….I watched a short video this morning about When a NGO Admits Failure. Take a look. We are going in with an emergency food aid for the people in the region. Drought, lack of food and medical problems are problematic. It has been reported that less than 50% of kids in this people group reach the age of 10. In one community of 300 families where this Mexican mission team works, 98 people of have died in the last 3 years. Our plan is to bring in emergency funding from the Global Emergency Response Fund of the C&MA Canada to address immediate food supply problems. We will be exploring how we can come along side the local ministry goals and work together to create a sustainable answer to the physical problems. Pray as we meet, as we travel and see. We need open eyes and open hearts to see the needs and how we can be part of a long-term solution. As I write this, I am hearing that timing will be very tight with the transferring of funds to purchase the food. Please pray for the details to work out.
Gaining Traction….
|With donated school supplies
|Serving the children
God is Sooo Good.
We just completed a 3 very full days of a retreat with the Regional Leadership team. The team consists of leaders representing Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, Ecuador and Costa Rica. What a rich time with relationships, inter-changing of ideas and leadership concepts and praying.
In our last blog, we mentioned the great need of raising the last 1/2 of the money required to pay the mission back for our ministry vehicle. We have received new news over the last 2 weeks including today's report. God is amazing! People gave! And gave in extremely large amounts and smaller amounts. Unbelievable. We are so blessed! Thank you. The side issue to this is the trickle down effect as international workers in Venezuela are now able to go ahead in full confidence with the purchase of their ministry vehicle.
As we move into the Christmas season, life gets busier. If we are unable to blog before then, we wish each of you the best during this season of Celebration. We are so thankful for the life that we have in Christ and we pray that for each one of you. Merry Christmas!
Development is Developing!
Life continues to be busy as I am sure it is with you too. This last month has been full of translating and working through the details of creating a community needs assessment evaluation. I have had to adapt this to our situations. My short form is only 10 pages which will take a couple of weeks to work through with each community. I am very excited when in 10 days I will be receiving much of the information or building blocks of working towards community transformation in Spanish. This includes hundreds of lessons and all of the orientation information needed to get "a huge machine" moving forward. This is a huge springboard for our work!!!! In the meantime, I have been using a local pastor to help me with correcting my translations.
Last week, I took our puppy (a Great Dane) up to the Patarra community where we are building the personal relationships to complete a community needs assessments. It's a community filled with Nicaraguans that moved to Costa Rica to seek a better life. This is where we work with Cecilia and her soup kitchen for the local children who don't have enough food at home to eat. In minutes, I had 20 children grouping around us. They are not used to seeing a friendly dog. Usually, dogs are either used for security and kept behind a fence or they are unfriendly strays on the streets that you don't want to get near. Max (our big puppy) bridged alot of gaps that day. Please continue to pray as we step into this community and encourage the local church to reach out to this needy people group.
Last weekend, the Alliance people here in Costa Rica had an orientation retreat. It was focused on the International Workers who are studying Spanish as we did here. As a small group, we were able to work through several sessions of the Global Leadership Summit sponsored by the Willow Creek Association. Amazing speakers! I was strongly convicted in the area of humility. Here is a definition that will give you food for thought and maybe the desire for more research. "More simply, you could say the humble person is marked by a willingness to hold power in service of others". Dickson
From Nov 20-27, Linda and I are traveling to Mexico to the Copper Canyon area working with Pastor Tomás Bencomo as we visit the Tarahumara Indians living there. The canyon area is abut 5 times larger than the Grand Canyon and there are an estimated 70,000 – 100,000 Indians living there who have never heard the Gospel. It is a 12-16 hour drive on a road that was recently built. We are thankful for the road otherwise it would be by burro or donkey. We are desiring to capture the heart of ministry of Pastor Tomás as we work alongside him. This is also as opportunity to do a quick food security assessment to the end of assisting them in their basic food needs.
I have thrown much information into this blog but I want to close with some answers to prayer and other needs.
1. Linda and I are so thankful for an Alberta church that stepped in to fill the gap and paid for Briana to join us for Christmas.
2. This need is great. We are still needing to raise the remaining funds for our ministry vehicle down here. This is a huge prayer request as it effects another missionary couple in nearby country and their ability to purchase a vehicle for their ministry. We are needing almost $6000. We are so grateful for what has been given in the last couple of months. You can specify "Doell Vehicle Fund" to your local Alliance church or designate your gift to the C&MA.
3. A huge answer to prayer to find much of the material that we need already translated!!!
4. As we work in the community of Patarra, doors will be opened to build relationships, ability to clearly communicate in Spanish will happen and the needed details will fall into place. We do have an account open to provide for this ministry where you can donate to the Patarra Project.
5. Pray for the San Francisco church and opportunities for Linda and I to be part of their community vision goals.
6. Over the course of the last year, we have been looking for a ministry name that would encompass all the areas of ministry we are involved in plus identify us to others. Our ministry name is "SunCompassion" and the email address is email@example.com

Cyber Law In India: Where Are We Heading To?February 14th, 2009 - 6:00 pm ICT by VKS
Cyber security is a big challenge for India. The government of India is not only unaware about the basics of cyber security but is also adamant about not bringing suitable changes. Whatever positive development that has taken place in India pertaining to cyber law, cyber security and cyber forensics can be attributed primarily to Mr. Praveen Dalal (http://reclaiming-india.blogspot.com/), Managing Partner of Perry4Law (http://perry4law.com/index1.htm). The government of India has recently come up with the proposed information technology amendment bill, 2008 that was passed by both rajya sabha and lok sabha without even a discussion or debate. It is only after the strong protest by Perry4Law and Mr. Praveen Dalal that the government is now considering to review its decision before finally coming out with the amended information technology act, 2000. Let us hope the government would seek the expert advice and suggestions of cyber law experts like Mr. Praveen Dalal before finally coming out with the act.
An interesting development that has taken place after the proposed IT Amendment Bill, 2008 is that ASSOCHAM and some others cyber law observers have endorsed and accepted the views and stand of Perry4Law and Mr. Praveen Dalal. They are also insisting upon including provisions for a strong cyber law and effective cyber security in the ultimate IT Act, 2000. It is good to see that even the Indian Judiciary and Supreme Court of India have now endorsed the opinion and vies of Mr. Praveen Dalal and Perry4Law (http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/uncategorized/it-act-has-to-be-more-deterrent-justice-sirpurkar_100152559.html).
The rajya sabha and lok sabha have acted not only hastily but also irresponsibly while passing the IT Act Amendment Bill, 2008. Surprisingly, till now the amended bill has not been made public by the government of India. It seems the government is not serious about bringing suitable changes in the IT Act, 2000 either due to absence of expertise or due to political reasons. Whatever the reasons may be but the government has no choice but to bell the cat now.
India must appreciate that for a safe and secure cyberspace, we need a good legal framework. The present IT Act, 2000 is a piece make legislation that is weak on the fronts of cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, etc. In the absence of a sound legal framework for the ICT systems in India, other e-governance projects of government are also in poor state. As each component of e-governance is related to some other one, a deficiency in the basic legal and technological framework would bring sad results for India. It is high time for India to do some good work in the fields of cyber law, cyber security and cyber forensics.

Livestock Management Strategies for Improving Soil Fertility
- a 3/1/2013 Timely Topics article by Josh Payne
During drought conditions, many cattle producers are faced with soil fertility decisions. Some opt to not fertilize; however, fertilizing during a drought may be the most important time to do so. A well fertilized soil will utilize limited rainfall more efficiently than a poorly fertilized soil.
In addition to fertilizing pastures, producers can reduce nutrient losses and improve soil fertility by practicing certain livestock management strategies. Proper livestock management can recycle forage nutrients removed by cattle or add nutrients if cattle are supplemented with purchased feed.

Millennium Dome, take 2
Last Thursday I had another go at talking a picture of the Millennium Dome at night time. It's not the most successful shot ever, but at least you can see the green beam more clearly.
The beam marks the Prime Meridian, i.e. the line at which the longitude is defined to be 0°. The Prime Meridian passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, located on a hill diagonally behind the spot where I stood to take this photo.
Take 1 can be seen here.

Not a bad shot at all, I like it. What was going on inside? The last time I went there in winter they even got an ice rink!

What a cool looking building. I have the hardest time trying to take pictures at night. I've decided to do some research and/or buy a tripod. This night shot looks better than most of mine.

Wow, a visible meridian!
Gee, it's been too long. This Dome was just a messy construction project when I spent a week in London in 1998.

@ James: I tend to find something (anything) to balance the camera on for night shots: a table, a dustbin, railings, any flat surface really. It's almost impossible to take a sharp shot otherwise.
@ Per Stromsjo: I think it's fair to say that it's come a long, long way since then :-)
@ JM: Thanks!

Fully commit to the gaudy destruction, to the blue earred rabbit, to the gold locket tattooed to your throat. Stroke the double-headed fawn, brush clean its gold incisors, feed it handfuls of little girl braids. Add marshmellows to the pink plastic carriage drawn by white mice. Tie them all high up in the oak tree with your red ribbons, and catch the honeyed rain of their tears in square chrome buckets. Call the mailman "daddy" and give him kisses that last as dark smudges across his wrists.
Play simple tunes on the recorder as you sit under your cone cap, with its tall silver peak. The nurse will see you now. The nurse is your mother or god. The nurse has an angel's wing tattooed over one eye. The nurse hands you rubies and sapphires, and tells you not to bite down when you swallow. The nurse has no teeth, and is missing a foot. After you have swallowed, she will sing to you about the war, about the giant horses and aardvarks in the king's sea, while the high ceiling rotates, and the stains on her gown become maps.

Career Sites are a great first impression for your company as it provides you a chance to show off company culture and all that you offer your employees. But vanity aside, there is a behind the scenes aspect to the Careers Page crucial to achieving your bottom line; metric reporting. In order to get the most out of job postings you need a Career Site that gives you the ability to track the following key metrics:
Being able to measure the number of visitors that come to your site will help you optimize your job marketing efforts. If you know where people are coming from, you will be able to allocate job posting dollars to the external sites which attract the most potential applicants directly to you.
Now that you know how people found your Career Page, you want to be able to see how visitors are interacting with your site. Are they clicking on your job postings? If so, how many are they opening? If they're interacting with your job descriptions, are they completing the application? Being able to see these metrics answers important questions that will help you optimize your landing page so that it appeals to job applicants, not just job lookers.
If you have a lot of traffic to your page but very a low application submittal percentage, you know that something is wrong. By being able to actualize this metric you can make adjustments to the presentation and/or construction of your job descriptions to make them something worth applying to.
With the right metrics from your Career Site you have all the information you need to successfully market open jobs, manage the candidate process, monitor requisition development, and improve recruiting efforts.

Butterfly Embacadero (formerly Lapis, former formerly Samos) opend for business on 4th of July. Husband and I went for dinner. The menu is pretty much same as the Mission location; Asian inspired flavors.
We called last minute to look for a reservation and was told they are completely booked, but can accommodate us at 6pm, if we will reliquish the table by 7:45. We took the reservation and found the time to be enough.
We decided on ordering four appetizers to share between us, instead of the usual three course. We had the 1/2 dozen oyster which included an oyster bloody Mary shooter, fried calamari, steamed mussles and clams in a spicy lemon grass broth, and duck confit spring rolls. Definite winners were the fried calamari and the spring rolls. The coating of the calamari was super crunchy without any touch of grease. A spicy remoulade drizzled over the entire dish really sets off the taste. The duck confit spring rolls were a good combination of shredded duck and vegetables in a nice golden wrapper. The sweet and spicy Chinese mustard sauce was what made this dish special. I liked the steamed shellfish, while my husband found it to be too fishy.
Service was attentive. We didn't order any desserts or wine. But my husband did order a couple of bottle of Chimay, a Belgian dark beer that is served in a wine glass to help capture its nose.
There was and will be live music nightly.
Overall the price was reasonable. For the four appetizers and two Chimays the tab was around $55.
The waiter told us that the original Butterfly in the Mission is being remodeled. And when it reopens, it'll be called Butterfly Mission, while this new one will be called Butterfly Embacadero. The Mission location will head torwards a more Vietnamese flavor while the Embacadero stay with its fusion, general Asian blends.

Proverbs 18:22 WHOSO FINDETH A WIFE FINDETH A GOOD THING, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
Proverbs 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and A PRUDENT WIFE IS FROM THE LORD.
Many times guys have thought that they are the ones to find a wife. Some folks believe that God will not help them find a woman because God gave Eve to Adam and when he fell he blamed it up on God that it was the woman God gave him. Well I'd like to tell you that God still find a wife for people. Anyway note that the word says WHOSO FINDETH A WIFE… and not a girlfriend. But a wife. We must understand that what God finds for people is a prudent wife and not a girlfriend. The favour a man obtains from finding a wife is that he receives the answers to his request and this does not take away the favour of the Lord a man get when he allows the Lord to find a wife for him.
Lets move this way… How to find a wife is not by Google searching or doing eye scanning, checking out for curves and beauty. Boy! I know it's important, so calm down. I was once there. I remember going on a road from school when the Lord spoke to my heart that "you think you know a beautiful lady? If I show you one you'll be silent" this is not the devil speaking it was the Lord. There was a conversation that brought about that in my heart with Him. I know guys have varying things they like about ladies. There are things that guys nurse in their hearts about a woman that they like to marry. God sees that in your heart and knows your heart. I believe in a sense that God will never deny you of those things you want in a woman. A lady is much more than she appears hence she need to be discerned. If a guy can move from the physical structure and curves of a woman to look deep into the grace she carries, the better for that guy. I can testify boldly that those things will come later. When a guy can just look deep to the wife that God finds for him, he will see reasons to say once I was blind but now I can see. I'm sure God will not deny you of what you want in a woman. I'm so sure but you need to be patient. That's the beauty of what am saying.
So, how to find a woman is through seeking the Lord. You need to ask the Lord of that wife. I remember the day I took a bold step to just pray and be free from praying for a wife. I just decided to settle that part and it was done. You seek by asking the Lord. I'll show you now how to find.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and HE THAT SEEKETH FINDETH; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN GIVE GOOD THINGS TO THEM THAT ASK HIM?
- Seek and ye shall find
- For EVERYONE that seeketh findeth.
- How much more shall your Father which is in heaven give GOOD things to them that ask(or seek).
So we see that we find by seeking and asking the Lord. Look at the last bullet it says God will give GOOD thing to them that ask. The Bible we read as our opening verse says whoso findeth a wife findeth a GOOD THING, so we see that God is the one that gives the good thing. See the position you need to take in other to find and get what you find.
Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM THEM THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY.
Proverbs 28:10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: BUT THE UPRIGHT SHALL HAVE GOOD THINGS IN POSSESSION.
Psalms 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: BUT THEY THAT SEEK THE LORD SHALL NOT WANT (LACK) ANY GOOD THING.
So finding a wife is a good thing and you won't lack her when you learn to find her in the field of seeking and asking the Lord of her. Remember this that
Proverbs 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and A PRUDENT WIFE IS FROM THE LORD.
"To find a wife means to find her from the Lord."
If she is from the Lord then you need to know the Lord, seek the Lord to get her, find her in the place of prayer and also be sensitive when she is brought to you. Please I like you to note that a woman is deeper in strength than she appears and beautiful than she appears even deep in the heart. Discerning her is the only way to know and appreciate her worth. Never forget that.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch are taking their rivalry to the next level this week—and it has nothing to do with Sunday's Geico 400 in Joliet.
You see, Busch is a die-hard Bears fan, and Kenseth loves the Packers, so the drivers have a friendly wager on Thursday's game at Lambeau Field. If the Bears win, Kenseth must wear a Bears jersey to Sunday's drivers meeting at Chicagoland Speedway. If the Packers win, Busch will wear Packers gear.

Wait, what? I thought this was going to be a holiday post?! It is a holiday post, friends. Just not the holiday post you were expecting.
If you've been watching the news at all lately, you may've heard of this "game" some
kids thugs are "playing" in which they run up to an innocent stranger on the street and throw a punch with the goal of knocking the person out cold. It's termed, "The Knockout Game". Lovely.
If you're like some of my friends, fans and readers of late, you may be able to empathize with these innocent victims on a much more personal and profound level. See, the truth is that although we typically look towards the holiday season (Thanksgiving through New Year's) as a time of great joy, love and warmth, there is a darker side to the season. It's the time of year when a lot of people decide to clean out their closets—namely of the secrets they've been stuffing in there. Turns out, not all the skeletons are for Halloween….

From my Bloomberg View column:
Senator Al Franken has a strategy for getting out of his current mess. You can see it in action in an interview he gave this week to Esme Murphy, a reporter for CBS affiliate WCCO.
The Minnesota Democrat has been accused of groping several unwilling women and forcibly kissing another. There are two obvious responses to such accusations: Either admit them, apologize and ask for forgiveness, or deny them. Franken is refusing to do either. . .
I am confident this column sets a career record for published references to "butt cheeks."

Chicken Riggies
This spicy, creamy pasta dish is a regional specialty from the Utica-Rome area of New York state.
How to Make It
Preheat broiler.
Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal bag. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and cut into strips.
Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; cook 6 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove chicken from pan. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. Add onion and next 4 ingredients (through garlic). Cook over medium heat 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
Add sherry to pan; cook until liquid evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. While sauce simmers, cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
Add roasted bell pepper, chicken, and, if desired, olives to tomato mixture. Bring to a simmer. Stir in cream; cook 2 minutes or just until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Add pasta, tossing well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

AdWords is an amazing tool for those new entreprenuers and business people. It not only helps awareness of your company or business, but it also helps you gain a reputation quickly! There are a lot of good ways to use Google AdWords, and there are also some really stupid moves (that I made ) that you can make to either make it a profit or make it a waste of your money. First (since this is for beginners) I am going to assume you have no idea what Google AdWords is and you just happened to stumble upon this article upon searching the web for advertising ideas. So what is Google AdWords? Google AdWords, simply put, is the advertisements you see on the right hand side and the top of the page when you search something with Google. So, say you search for hotels in Boston, Mass.. When the results come up you will most certainly see ads that say something like "The Hilton Inn /quality stay, affordable prices" Now just stop for a second and think about this. Say you're a company that helps business owners finance their credit challenged customers. Where do you think the first place is that these business owners would go for research on their options?
Well To their financial advisors of course!!
Think of the potential you have of getting their attention on the most used website in the world, where they all go for answers. Now the reason I am writing this for you is because although yes this is a great idea, You can't just go get a Google AdWords account and think you know exactly what's going on. There's a lot of tips and tricks to make it most effective and cost efficient. First you need to understand how the pricing works.
Google AdWords is a PPC (pay per click) source of advertising. Meaning, every time someone clicks on your ad you get charged for that exposure. How much you pay is determined by your placement on the page based on a bidding system, but we'll get to that later. So now that you know that it's a PPC advertising, DON'T tell your friends that you have an ad up and it's on Google and it's so cool, because they will screw with you, they WILL taunt you and scare to believe that they plan on sitting at there computer all day just clicking on your ad. They're all talk, just so you know.
Back to the topic!
So now that you know about the way that you are charged for this, It's important to understand what gets your ad visible, what it is that allows people to see your ad when they search for things on Google. It's based on key-words. So If I go to Google and I type in Wineries in NY, I will see the ads that people have placed on Google about wineries in NY. How do you choose Keywords to get the most quality clicks?
To be honest with you...
Every business using Google AdWords has to go through somewhat of a trial and error phase before they figure out what's best for them. But you don't want to hear that, so I'll give you some advise from what I've done wrong so maybe you can avoid some of the agony. For one, if you have a business that is national, don't implement keywords that are not targeted to your audience specifically. I know, I know you just want to be able to get your name out to the world so everybody knows who you are and that will make you rich and popular and it doesn't matter who sees it as long as everyone can just see it!...WRONG! Think about this, if someone is in search of a personal loan, and your ad comes up and you only work with businesses not consumers, how hot of a lead is that? It's not! they would just waste your money because they are clicking on it for something they can't use it for. So be specific with your key words. Also figure out the best time of day and week is most effective. Sometimes is best to run it only Monday through Friday 8-6, or maybe its best to run it 7 days a week 24 hours a day. You will need to figure this out so that again the quality of the clicks are making your profitable, not more in debt.
The way that the pricing is determined is called bidding...And it's exactly what it sounds like. think of Google ads as an auction. An auction that is selling nothing but the top spot at the very top of the page on Google. Basically, When you are choosing what key words you want to use so people can find you, other ads that are using those key words will bid to be higher on the page than you. I'll say this, Ad number one is over rated, Ad number two is not given enough credit. I have found that if I bid the right amount to be the second ad on the top of the page that I actually get more quality clicks than when I was first on the page. Don't ask me the psychology behind that, just trust me.
So you're asking, how do I know what to bid? Well, based on how many other people are using the keywords you choose, Google will show you what you would need to bid in order to show up on the first page. You have to guess from there on to get to the top (second) . You can let Google automatically bid for you, or you can bid manually. I Strongly strongly recommend manual bids, the computer is, well, a computer and doesn't always know whats best. So bid manually and bid smart.
One thing that I needs to be turned off in most situations is the network exposure. Network exposure is the ads that you see when you are in your email or what not that advertise something about what you are reading about...the key words within the email. Unless you have a lot a lot of money, and your business is already huge than you do not want to be 2nd or first place on Google searches and have network exposure. I had about 17,000 people see my ad within an hour, they had clicked and clicked, and I got no leads from it.
So my suggestion to you is to turn that setting off, unless its just so amazing what you're advertising that anyone and everyone would just have to buy your product or services...then do whatever you want, in fact you don't even need Google AdWords if you're that good...
So if you're interested in getting a Google Ad up and running smoothly, go to AdWords.google.com and get account set up. Call their support line and ask for a hundred dollars free advertising, (Tell em' Travis sent ya ) And if you have anything to ask about how to use this the best you can, feel free to contact me, it's what I do . So get out there and start getting some leads!!!

Get ready for some great content coming to your inbox from the team at UserTesting!
With tens of millions of downloads in the App Store and the Play Store, the Yelp app is beloved by many. Yet, with thousands of 1-star reviews, it seems that this love is enveloped in a soft haze of frustration.
We've been curious about what makes Yelp so many folks' go-to review app and wondered if we could bubble up some findings about how it could be even better.
I chuckled for a minute when I popped over to the App Store to take a look at the app's reviews. After reading the first four or five, I realized there are a ton of reviews that probably shouldn't even be there. They're included on the App Store and the Play Store as reviews about Yelp, when they're actually just reviews for businesses that users must have accidentally submitted via Yelp's very own in-app "Leave a review about this app" messaging. Oops!
It became clear that the reviews of the Yelp app in the App Store weren't telling the full story about the user experience on the app itself. So the UserTesting team decided to conduct a study to explore how people use the app out in the real world.
Rather than doing a traditional usability test, we decided to launch a destination test using UserTesting's mobile recorder to get some folks out on the street in search of a restaurant to grab a bite to eat.
With their smartphone in hand, we asked our participants to tell us a bit about how they typically use Yelp, and then we had them use the app to find a lunch spot nearby.
Here are a few clips of how the restaurant search went for some of our users:
Participants liked Yelp because it offered all the important information they would need to choose a restaurant or other local business: hours, ratings, phone numbers, a map feature, etc.
Users liked having the option to filter search criteria, despite admitting that filtering wasn't always easy or intuitive.
The users felt like the pictures and reviews in Yelp helped to set realistic expectations of what they would actually encounter when they arrived at the restaurant in person.
Another big bonus for Yelp users is the fact that it's available on every device. The folks in our study told us they tend to use Yelp's desktop website at home or at work, and then pull up the app on their smartphones when traveling or leaving work.
Because there is so much information available in Yelp, our participants pointed out that having filters is a necessity—but the filters can get a little overwhelming and confusing. Before starting the test, several people expressed that the filtering options were the most confusing part of the app.
One person reported that she often had trouble filtering by certain criteria like type of cuisine, and this test was no exception:
Another user emphasized that filtering options based on location was difficult to do:
"I found it difficult to filter by what was close to me. I would have liked it if that were a bit more intuitive." – Female test participant, 23, United States
Because we ran this study with users walking around on the street, it felt like we were actually walking alongside our users as they took action. We got realistic feedback on how users interact with the app's features in a distracting setting like a busy street while they're hungry. We also got to see users interacting with the map and directions in real time.
This is the closest thing to remote ethnography that I can imagine, and it opened my eyes to other scenarios that I'd like to explore to get an even broader understanding of how useful Yelp—and other apps that rely on location—can be.

May 30, 1854 – The Kansas-Nebraska Act becomes law establishing the U.S. Territories of Kansas and Nebraska.
On May 1, 1929, the United States Postal Service issued stamps known as the Kansas-Nebraska Overprints. These were Regular Issue stamps with an added black colored overprint that read 'Kans.' or 'Nebr.' The letters in the overprint resemble typewriter characters with serifs. Only the denominations of 1-cent to 10-cents were overprinted. The overprints were authorized and added to the 1926–27 printings to counter the rash of stamp thefts suffered by various mid-western rural Post offices. It is estimated that a one-year supply of the Regular Issues received the overprinting. Officials believed that stamps overprinted with the abbreviated names of the individual states would be difficult to sell, or 'fence', in other states. The original plan was to produce overprints for all states, and Kansas and Nebraska were selected to initiate the experiment. As events turned out Kansas and Nebraska were the only states to receive this type of overprint. Every Post Office in Kansas and Nebraska received overprinted stamps except for those in Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, Omaha, and Lincoln: in these larger cities, security at post offices was considered adequate; accordingly, the use of overprinted stamps was deemed necessary only in small, usually rural, post offices. Unfortunately, the rules for selling these overprints resulted in general confusion among both customers and postal clerks: consequently, the overprinted stamps remained in use for less than a year, being discontinued on March 29, 1930. Printed with the Rotary Press, the overprints were issued with perforation size, 11 x 10½. The overprints were added before the stamps received their adhesive gum on their backs. Fakes and forgeries exist for some of the more valuable overprint issues which are usually detected by noting the impression the forged letters leave in the adhesive gum on the reverse of the stamp, as any fraudulent overprinting is always applied after the stamp has received its gum and has been issued.

I have had memory problems on a server and had to stop/start Qlikview services and kill all the Qlikview.exe that where open on this server.
After having done this job, I have been able to reload succesfully my application.
However, the content (formulas) of all the variables used in the application have been lost and each variable now has an empty content.
(some variables where used to store complex formulas within variable content).
Has anyone been faced with this problem ?
Is it possible to recover the value of the variables ? How ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
I had a problem with a file before... I had to open the application without data and then reload it.
I lost the variables as well... I'm not sure if there is a way to recover it... I 'm afraid you can only recover a backup...

Meet the Franchisee: Dennis & Jamie ShepardNov 15, 2016
Dennis and Jamie Shepard are going into business with The Cleaning Authority with previous franchise experience under their belt. Jamie previously owned a Mr. Rooter Plumbing franchise while Dennis has a background in Marketing.
When looking into franchising with The Cleaning Authority, they were immediately attracted to the proven system and opportunity for profitability. "The brand's Detail Clean Rotation System creates a great point of differentiation for the company," Jamie said. "Financially, the brand provides a great opportunity to make higher profits than other brands because of the recurring revenue. We see a lot of opportunity to provide jobs to locals in the community and work with our employees to build a successful career."
Dennis and Jamie were involved with the Ronald McDonald House by providing all of the house's plumbing needs for free through Mr. Rooter. "We'd love to continue to be involved with that organization and any other groups that help local kids in the area," Dennis said.
Outside of their business ownership, the couple was previously foster parents and has recently adopted a child of their own. Dennis and Jamie are looking forward to serving the York area.

Guess who is the high flying one that we are talking about here… Nikhil Dwivedi! Well, the young actor had to report to Mani Ratnam's Ravana urgently and Nikhil didn't know what to do. So, he requested his old company where he used to work to let him fly in their company aircraft and they conceded! What's more, they were kind enough to arrange for everything in two hours flat. So, Nikhil chartered the flight and reached the shoot on time. And he cannot stop thanking his company for the help. -Sampurn Media
