A damning book review in the London Financial Times this weekend spiralled off page into a tirade of criticisms lambasting the UK's architects for producing, "Cheapened, commercialised, modernism, stripped of its idealism and intelligence". Edwin Heathcote writing about New London Architecture 2 and New York 2000, clearly used the review as a thinly veiled excuse to have a dig at London's architecture. At one point Heathcote said, " For every Gherkin, there are two dozen turnips," going on later to remonstrate, "London may be competing for status as the hub of global finance but it is in danger of believing its own hype about the quality of architecture."

Here is yet another awesome video from B-Side Sessions, this time with Justin Osborne and Johnny Delaware playing "Mystery Man" off SUSTO's new album & I'm Fine Today which just came out this past Friday. The footage was taken at The Vinyl Countdown, and Christian Steinmetz again did a great job with the audio, making SUSTO sound super crispy. The band is currently out on tour with Heyrocco, and Johnny Delaware is off doing his own thing with his new band The Artisanals, which makes this video sort of bittersweet, but that's alright. Stream it below, and if you haven't yet listened to & I'm Fine Today I don't know what you're waiting for.

BANDER LINGAH, or LINGA, a town of Persia on the northern shore of the Persian Gulf and about 300 M. by sea from Bushire, in 26° 33' N., 54° 54' E. Pop. about 1o,000. It forms part of the administrative divisions of the " Persian Gulf ports," whose governor resides at Bushire. The annual value of the exports and imports from and into Bander Lingah from 1890 to 1905 averaged about £800,000, but nearly half of that amount is represented by pearls which pass in transit from the fisheries on the Arab coast to Bombay. Like many other Persian Gulf ports, Bander Lingah was for many generations a hereditary patrimony of the Sheikh of an Arab tribe, in this case the Juvasmi tribe, and it was only in 1898 that the Arabs were expelled from the place by a Persian force. It is the chief port for the Persian province of Laristan (under Fars), and has a thriving trade with Bahrein and the Arab coast. It has a British post office, and the steamers of the British India Company call there weekly. Of the 133,000 tons of shipping which in 1905 entered the port 104,500 were British.End of Article: BANDER LINGAH, or LINGA

A complete archive of Pakistan's Education news releases since 2007
Private schools exploiting teachers
Peshawar, Aug 27: Although the government has fixed minimum wage of labour at Rs 6,000,
but teachers in many private schools have not benefited from this decision.
There are many private schools not only in City but in whole province which
disregard the government-implemented minimum wage and exploit their teachers.
The number of private schools registered with the Education Department is in
thousands according to available data.
According to sources in the Education
Department, there are many schools in the city -including those with a large
number of enrolled students- that pay their teachers only Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000
and complain of few resources and many expenses. There are also a large number
of schools which have charged their students full fees during the summer
vacation and have either not paid their teachers or paid them less than their
fixed salaries.
Safia, a teacher at a private school, said most of the students
at this school submitted their fees before the summer vacation. However, the
school management paid only half the salaries to the teachers. She said there
were many graduate teachers who were paid less than Rs 6,000 in private schools
Rubab Syed, a Master of Arts (MA) teacher with years of teaching experience,
said her salary was less than Rs 6,000. She said teachers' salaries increased
with the passage of time in the government sector, but there was no such
mechanism in the private sector.
She continued that the government should bring
private schools under its control and ensure that the minimum wage policy is
implemented in private schools. An official f Education Department said many
private schools in the city defied the minimum wage policy. He said such schools
presented inaccurate figures of their teachers' salaries before being registered
and later did not correct these. He said action could be taken against such
Meanwhile a responsible of Private School Association was of he view
that many schools in the City did not comply with the minimum wage policy. He
said inspection teams which visited schools before registration should only
register them based on merit and schools comprising two or three rooms should
not be registered.

Heavy schoolbags cause back problems
Peshawar: The summer vacation would be over in a week and the children once will
compell to bear the load of thier school bags full of books, copies and other
stuff. Most children are required to carry heavy school bags to and from school
each day, and the load increases as they reach higher grades.
A curriculum
proves heavy for children when it is too lengthy to be completed in time by an
average teacher under normal conditions; there is mismatch between the
difficulty level of the concepts of course content with the mental level of the
pupils; the language used in the textbooks is incomprehensible and the style of
presentation is verbose and rhetorical rather than simple and straight forward;
the basic assumptions underlying curriculum development are not fulfilled. It
has been observed during the last few years that admission age to nursery
classes has been progressively lowered down to the age of two and half years at
some places.
It appears that the perception has taken a deep root that if a
child has to succeed in life, he or she must start education early in life. So
far as physical load of the school bag is concerned, the situation has become
worse over the past few years. However, the weight of the school bag represents
one dimension of the problem; another dimension can be seen in the child's daily
routine which includes completion of homework and attendance at tuitions and
coaching classes of different kinds.
The major, well understood defect of the
examination system is that it focuses on children's ability to reproduce
information to the exclusion of the ability to apply concepts and information on
unfamiliar, new problems or simply to think. Both the teachers and the parents
constantly reinforce the fear of examination and the need to prepare for it by
memorising a whole lot of information from the textbook and guide books. This
sort of perception about the examination makes things difficult for children.
Majority of our school going children view learning at school as a boring, even
unpleasant and bitter experience.
The limited purpose of preparing for
examination is indeed a very important factor for the unpleasantness of
learning. The child centered education and activity based teaching learning
method are talked about but are seldom practiced in our school. The syllabi and
textbooks if not prepared properly lead to the problem of curriculum load. It
has been observed that most of the textbooks have high density of concepts and
the style of writing is very terse.
The language used in the books in some cases
is beyond the comprehension of many students. The problem of curriculum load was
not an urban phenomenon. In rural areas, where the students have not to carry
heavy bags, the problem of non-comprehension makes things extremely difficult
for majority of children.
The feeling of academic burden arising out of
non-comprehension of subject matter included in the syllabus is indeed a serious
problem as it is a major hurdle in the achievement of the target of
universalisation of elementary education. Heavy School Bags Linked to Back
Problems One recent study found that the daily burden can lead to lower back
pain, poor posture and spinal deformity over time and back problems in
adulthood. The study indicated deviation to the side and or backwards of
children's spines when carrying heavy school bags.
Over time the deviation
becomes evident even when the child is not carrying the bag, according to the
researchers. The teenage schoolchildren had a higher level of spinal deviation
than the pre-teen children, indicating that the deviations are lasting. A
child's spine is still developing during the school years, and carrying the
occasional heavy object will not result in any permanent damage.
The researchers
point out that children carry their school bags on a daily basis and often
between classes as well, and it is the constant additional pressure to the spine
that can cause long-term damage. They say the further a child has to walk to
school, the more affected him or she is. They advise parents and teachers to
note the loads they are expecting children to carry, and the influence it can
have on their spines.
JI regrets Ban on Jaswant's book
Lahore: Liaquat Baloch, secretary general of the Jamaat-e-Islami,
Pakistan, has said that India's ban on Jaswant Singh's book acknowledging the
leadership qualities of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah has exposed its
In a press statement here Wednesday, he said that New Delhi's
secular posture was only a farce as the Indian society was basically a Hindu
society dominated by the upper class Hindus (Brahmans). He said that the
restrictions on thought and writings expressed both by the Indian Congress and
the BJP have revealed the true colour of the Indian mind. However, he
appreciated Jaswant Singh' writing lauding the vision and the leadership of the
While commenting on PML(N) leader Mian Nawaz Sharif's sentiment on
Bombay bomb blasts, Liaquat Baloch said Mian Nawaz Sharif should also express
the Pakistani nation's grief on India's terrorism in Baluchistan, FATA and
Malakand division. He deplored that whereas New Delhi was sticking to its false
stand, the Pakistani civil and military governments were unjustifiably bowing
before India. Liaquat Baloch said that India was a large country but its
attitude towards its neighbours had always been oppressive and it had been
interfering in their internal affairs.
History, he said, bore witness that the
people of the subcontinent fought against he British rulers while the Hindu
leadership connived with the British for the Hindu supremacy in the area in
order to place the Muslims under a fresh slavery, However, he said, Allama
Muhammad Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinaah understood the game well in
time and won the war for Pakistan with prudence and courage. Baloch said that
the Indian leadership was not willing to admit the facts even after 62 years The
reaction on renowned thinker and writer like Jaswant Singh's views only showed
the mental bankruptcy of the Hindu society, he added. F.P report

I have never done much in public writing, but I figure now is as good a time as any to start.
The purpose of this site is yet to be seen; probably it is as much a personal outlet of thoughts as anything. But time will tell, maybe (hopefully?) you may even find some of my thoughts to be of interest to you. If so, I definitely consider it a success.

"Try to Disappear" comes off of Baroness' late 2015 release of Purple. After a 2012 bus crash left multiple band members injured, Baroness took a well-deserved break from writing new music. Purple, three years later, became the symbol of their music's endurance and their own dedication to their art; masterful, intense, and full of unique new sounds, the album was nothing short of a triumphant return for the band.
The song is melodic and heartfelt, and lyrical: filled with gems like "Across the coastal banks she runs and gallops towards the sea / But I cannot outrun the beast that bears my sanity," it sounds like something right out of an epic poem. Check out the video for "Try to Disappear" above. If you're like me, it'll make you really want to see Baroness live, because they actually are that good.

Watch the AHS: Freak Show Actors Talk About 'Radical Difference'
"All anyone wants to be is loved and accepted."
FX has released a number of cast interviews from the set of American Horror Story: Freak Show in anticipation of the October 8 premiere. There's a slightly more generic behind-the-scenes video where the more famous cast members, from Angela Bassett to Michael Chiklis, talk about working on set. But the videos you should really watch are the ones with the actors on the show who were born with various congenital disorders. Mat Fraser, who plays Paul the Illustrated Seal, talks about being an actor with a "radical difference": "Freak means a radically different person onstage entertaining with their radical difference." He has a condition called phocomelia, which came about because thalidomide was prescribed to his mother for morning sickness. Another actor Rose Siggins, who plays "Legless Suzi" and was diagnosed with sacral agenesis, talks about giving birth to two kids and introducing herself to her kids' classmates. Watch the videos below.

Being a responsible dog owner means knowing what to feed and not to feed your pooch since not all foods are good for your dog. Our friends at Moderndog Magazine has come out with a helpful list of 20 nutritious people foods that are safe for you to share with your dog. These pet friendly foods are sure to spice up your dogs meal and get that tails wagging. Remember a balanced diet & excercise is the key to good health. Chow hounds bone appetit!
1. Yogurt is a good source of available calcium and protein. When choosing yogurt, pick one that has live active bacteria and no sugars or artificial sweeteners. The active bacteria may act as probiotics. If your pooch is pudgy, make sure that you pick fat-free yogurt but not one that contains fat substitutes (e.g., Simplesse or Olestra). Frozen yogurt is a nice summer treat for dogs.
2. Flax seed (ground or oil) is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that are good for skin and coat. Whole flax seeds are best if ground right before feeding as this type of fat can go rancid quickly. Flax seed can also be added to your dog's diet as a source of fibre. Flax oil is a more concentrated form of omega- 3 fatty acids without the fibre. Make sure that you store the oil or seeds in the fridge in an air tight dark container.
3. Salmon is a fatty fish which is also a good source of omega- 3 fatty acids. These fats support the immune system and can be beneficial for skin and coat health. There has also been some indication that they may benefit dogs with allergies. You can feed salmon or salmon oil. If feeding salmon, make sure it's cooked before serving, as raw salmon can carry a parasite that can make your dog sick.
4. Pumpkin is a good source of fibre and beta carotene (a source of vitamin A). Dogs need fibre in their diet. The current trend is towards highly digestible diets that lower stool volume and this is not necessarily a good thing. Keeping the GI tract moving helps keep the cells lining the gut healthy.
5. Sweet potatoes are another source of dietary fibre and contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, beta carotene, and manganese. Sweet potatoes are great sliced and dehydrated as a chewy treat for your dog. There are so many dog treats on the market that we often overlook the simple, healthy, and reasonably priced treats available at our grocery store.
6. Green beans are a good source of plant fiber, vitamin K, vitamin C, and manganese. If your dog has a tendency to put on weight, then replacing some of her regular food with green beans is a great low calorie way to fill her up and help her maintain a healthy weight. Many dogs enjoy green beans frozen.
7. Eggs are a great source of very digestible protein, riboflavin, and selenium. For some dogs that are prone to digestive upset, eggs can give them a little protein boost. Adding eggs to your dog's food is a healthy treat. Make sure to use cooked whole egg, as raw egg whites can cause biotin deficiency. If you do a lot of training with your dog, consider taking cooked eggs to your next class as training treats.
8. Brewer's yeast is the yeast that's left over from making alcohol. Dogs seem to really enjoy the tangy taste of brewer's yeast. It's full of B vitamins which are good for skin, coat, and carbohydrate metabolism. Make sure you're using brewer's yeast (available at health food stores), not baking yeast which will make your dog sick. Brewer's yeast can spice up your dog's appetite. Just sprinkle a little on the food of a picky eater and watch her dive into her food.
9. Apples are wonderful crunchy treats for your dog. Apples with the skin on are full of plant chemicals (phytonutrients) that are thought to be protective against some types of cancer in humans. They are a source of vitamins A and C and fibre. Apple seeds, however, contain cyanide so your dog should not be allowed to eat the core. Though the effects of a few apple seeds will likely not harm your dog, the deleterious effects can accumulate over time if allowed to eat apple seeds regularly.
10. Oatmeal is a good source of soluble fiber. This can be beneficial for some older dogs that may have trouble maintaining bowel regularity. Oatmeal is also an alternative source of grain for dogs that are allergic to wheat. It can be fed in conjunction with probiotics to enhance their function. Keep in mind oatmeal should always be fed cooked and plain with no sugar or flavouring. As always, check with your veterinarian before making any major changes to your dog's diet, especially if they are on any medications. Upsetting the vitamin and mineral balances in your dog's diet can have negative effects on your dog's health and some medications interact badly with some nutrients. The aim of most dog owners is to give their dogs the best diet possible. Good nutrition coupled with a health care program may result in extending your dog's life by as much as 15 percent. The suggestions above are not meant to replace your dog's normal, balanced diet. Rather, they are ideas for alternative treats or for adding a little variety to your dog's meals.
11. Rice is good to feed when your dog has an upset tummy and needs a bland meal. There are a variety of different types of rice. Brown rice is a little higher in protein and a little lower in fat when compared to white rice. White or instant rice is an easily digestible carbohydrate which makes it a good source of energy when your dog has an upset tummy or if you are feeding an older dog.
12. Squash, like pumpkin, can be added to bulk up his stool and is a good source of betacarotene (provitamin A). Hint: remove the seeds and then slice and freeze the squash to make it a fun, crunchy snack for your dog.
13. Popcorn that has been air popped with no butter or salt is a great lowcalorie treat for your dog. Popcorn contains potassium as well as the bone-building minerals phosphorous, magnesium, and calcium. So snuggle up and share that popcorn with your furry friend next time you watch a movie.
14. Lean meat (chicken, beef, or pork) with no visible fat and no added sauces or seasonings can be a great training treat or can add a bit of good-quality extra protein to your dog's diet. Lean meat is an excellent, balanced source of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle in your dog's body. Meat is also a great source of B vitamins (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Pyridoxine, and Cobalamine). These vitamins are involved in energy metabolism in the body.
15. Liver is available freeze-dried in most pet stores and it is a great training treat. You can also buy it fresh in the grocery store to feed at home. Fresh liver can be cooked and then baked to make your own liver treats. Liver is an excellent source of B vitamins (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, and Folic acid), Vitamin A, and Vitamin K. It is also a great source of iron. Warning: Too much liver may be toxic to dogs because of its high vitamin A content. Therefore, it is best to limit the amount of liver fed to your dog to not more than 1 g of fresh liver/Kg body weight per day.
16. Pineapple can be a special treat for your dog. Pineapple contains mostly sugar but it also contains calcium and potassium. Frozen pineapple can be a fun summer treat for your dog.
17. Cottage cheese is high in protein and calcium and it's fairly bland, so it can be a good way to add some extra protein to your dog's diet. Cottage cheese is a dairy product and some dogs don't do well with dairy, so make sure you start with just a small amount.
18. Parsley has long been thought to improve doggie breath, so next time you are baking treats for your dog, try adding a few tablespoons of chopped parsley for added flavour and colour. Parsley can also be a good source of calcium, potassium, and beta-carotene.
19. Peanut butter is a healthy, high-protein treat for dogs. Try smearing some inside or on one of your dog's toys, or let him lick out the container when it's almost finished.
20. Peas can be added right to your dog's food, frozen or thawed. Peas are a good source of the B vitamin Thiamin, phosphorous, and potassium.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration appears skeptical that data submitted by Johnson & Johnson proves its anticoagulant Xarelto is effective in reducing the risk of further heart problems in patients who have suffered a heart attack.
The review was posted on the FDA's website on Tuesday, two days ahead of a meeting of outside experts who will discuss the drug, also known as rivaroxaban, and recommend whether it should be approved. The company is recommending it be used in the first 90 days following a heart attack.
"It is unclear how to choose the metric for determining when the benefit of rivaroxaban is greatest," the review found. "Not only does the effect of rivaroxaban not appear to be greater earlier, but an effect in the first 90 days or so is not apparent at all."

How high of a dose of Cymbalta can a patient be prescribed per day?
- Asked
- 12 Jan 2014 by Highly depressed
- Updated
- 24 August 2016
- Topics
- cymbalta, dosage, prescription
Responses (3)
After reading much research on Cymbalta., I've come to the conclusion that 60 mg is all somebody needs to take per day anything over and above that it is unnecessary. That's what I read in several different sites and I also mentioned it to my doctor and she said yes , that that was true ..
Have you ever tried coming off of the 120mg? Do you have any "brain zaps" or dizzy spells if you take a dose a little later than usual?

I ordered a box of chocolate dipped fruit for my dad and he sent me a picture of what he received and it looked like it had been thrown together in 5 minutes. The strawberries looked rotten.
Not worth the 60 dollars I paid and when I called the Medford Newyork store to complain thy were so unprofessional and argued with me on the phone and wouldn't let me speak to a manager and told me they didn't know when the manager would even be in...
very disapointed. They wouldn't give me a store number to give to corporate either.
Review about: Edible Arrangements Fruit Arrangement.
Reason of review: Not as described.
Monetary Loss: $60.
Preferred solution: Full refund.
I didn't like: Gross rotting fruit, Rip off.
Those look fine. You're just being stingy.
I agree with KevinRichards. I am a person who has ordered from companies like this before (Shari's Berries) and none of my berries were even ripe.
They were all mostly green with some pinking from where they tried to "force ripen" them. Had I gotten the above, I would have been ecstatic! The above looks wonderful.
Hopefully these are just not good pictures and you are not wasting peoples time with what appears to be a completely invalid complaint. Based on the complaint, I wouldn't have given you a manager or a corporate number either.
What is wrong with you guys? How about mind your business?
How would you like to spend a significant amount of money on a gift for someone and not be satisfied, then have to bored people online comment that the item looks fine and their complaint is not valid? Customer is always right and if the item is not up to their expectations they have the right to make a complaint.
I am glad they argued with you. The strawberries don't look rotten, you were just trying to get a discount or something because you do not love your dad(someone who gave you life) enough to spend $60 on him.
Why do people keep ordering from this company? All the stuff they sell is ***.

Pictured: Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q (Photo: Richard Cartwright/CBS)
While many people have no desire to watch a TV series with a title like Stalker, the CBS show won its time period in viewers and key demographics last night. Despite the good ratings, that doesn't mean that the show will stick around for very long. Curiosity in the show is probably the biggest factor for the show's ratings success and the fact that it aired after the popular and similar Criminal Minds helped as well. Now that people have seen it, will they come back next week? This viewer won't. It has less to do with the show's subject matter and more to do with the dynamics of the show.
Stalker is a psychological thriller about detectives who investigate stalking incidents. It stars angry actor Dylan McDermott as Detective Jack Larsen, transferred to L.A. to work with Lt. Beth Davis (Maggie Q) who quickly realize that neither likes each other. The biggest problem with the show is that the audience won't like them either. Beth is not a warm person and Jack tries too hard to make a good impression. Both of them know their stuff as one is a former victim of stalking and the other wrestles with their own stalking desires. Both are not afraid to work outside of the law to get what they want, making the two morally ambiguous. I could be wrong, but I think most people like their "good guys" to be good through and through. In the pilot episode it becomes clear that those who wear the white hats also wear the black hats from time to time. But some people seem to like that sort of thing given the ratings for both Dexter and Hannibal which also feature antiheroes.

I know we are over half way through November... And so close to the end of the year ... Beginnings can happen any time you decide. I have turned a corner and am headed home. Literally. Moving to a new home for the first time in almost twenty-two years. I am feeling uprooted. Flighty. Thin. I am seeking good organization. Stripped down lists. So I begin. #bulletjournaling #bulletjournal #findingmyway
Two weeks ago, we were not intentionally looking for a house to buy. A week ago, we had signed the contract. Three weeks from today, we will have our closing and take possession of our home. We will be moving for the first time in twenty-two years.
It has been so fast and a bit overwhelming and I know there is work to be done but I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that it is happening. We found our dream home and we are moving.
"The only way around is through." - robert frost
My thoughts are swirling so quickly as I am beginning to think about what needs to be done that I am going to have to be very intentional about this process of making plans. I am returning to a more stripped down version of planning. There is a place for my dreaming and collage, my digging deep and reflection. That type of planning informs the to-do list.
I need the focus of just the action plan. I am beginning a Bullet Journal as a way of dumping my brain into written form. This is what I need to organize a move in the midst of holiday season and two birthdays. This is what I need to move my dreaming into the making it happen.
Though it be the middle of November, it is a very, very fine time to start.

Woljeongsa Temple
Several weeks ago I took a trip out to Woljeongsa Temple to get a look at the beautiful Fall leaves. In Gangneung the leaves were a beautiful fiery red, as you can see from my earlier photos. At Odeasan National Park, home to Woljeongsa Temple, I was hoping to find a mountain park full of the same colorful leaves. It was a two hour bus ride but the thought of the beautiful photos awaiting my camera kept me going. As it turned out, I forgot to account for the higher elevation of the park. At that height the leaves had already fallen and all that was left for me were some bare trees and extremely cold weather. Here are the few good pictures I managed to get out of the day.

Fun with Photoshop A.K.A. Zombie Dawn
Minor adjustments in Photoshop to punch up the image:
Major adjustments made by adjusting the curves and saturation.
This would be the cover to my independant zombie movie.

Of all the photos I took on my last trip, I think this one is the most interesting. It's just a picture of leaves, but it's interesting because the image hasn't been edited in photoshop. This is the way the camera recorded it. The way the color is arranges, with it's areas of saturate and unsaturate colors, is not what you'd expect in the value range. Compare it to the black and white image below:

After a few delays, Nokia Pakistan finally had their most-awaited Switch to Lumia event in Karachi on 12th February 2013. This event marked the official launch of the current Lumia series of devices by Nokia in Pakistan — and it is safe to say Nokia has been the only manufacturer in Pakistan to officially bring Windows Phone 8 devices.
Nokia launched the new high-end Nokia Lumia 920, the mid-range Lumia 820 and the budget model Lumia 620 in an amazing event held in Karachi. Several media representatives and bloggers from all over Pakistan (including us) were invited to attend the launch ceremony. The last time we were invited, it was the very first global launch event by Nokia from Pakistan. The new Nokia Lumia series has been launched in partnership with Moblink, and is now available across Pakistan on selected stores. More on this after the jump.
This grand event had an amazing set up, along with an equally impressive lineup of speakers for the evening. Let's take a brief look at what was discussed at the launch event. For those interested, the official press release has been attached in the end.

Alessandro Lamanna (Vice-President, Marketing – IMEA at Nokia) explained how confident he was with the Lumia products and how important these products are for Nokia. He explained how Nokia and Windows phone 8 together made perfect sense: optimization, pleasing built quality and attractive screen. He made sure Nokia is committed to Pakistan and this is why they are launching not two, but three Lumia products with all the accessories – most importantly, wireless charging.
Dunia Othman
Then came Dunia (Marketing Manager, Nokia Near East) who mainly talked about the new flagship product by Nokia, the Lumia 920. She explained the features and how the new WP8 takes usability to a whole new level. She emphasized how smooth its UI was, and we totally agree with her. Our first reason to fell in love with Windows Phone 8 was its simple and fluid UI which no other smartphone OS offers so far. According to Dunia, Nokia engineers made sure that during scrolling and browsing through different menus in Lumia phones did not lag.
Next, she gave a quick demo of the new sensitive touchscreen of the Lumia 920. She presented herself by using hand gloves with the Nokia Lumia 920 and showed the phone is capable of being used easily in cold conditions.
Nokia Lumia devices will be available to Pakistani market in various eye-catching colours and briefly mentioned other compatible devices.
Arsalan Zia Qureshi
Head of Mobilink Corporate Sales, Arsalan Zia Qureshi, came up the stage to announce introduction of Nokia Lumia devices in specific Mobilink Business Centers across Pakistan. Mobilink has always planned and brought pleasing and attractive smartphone devices at amazing prices for its customers. We have already seen that with Mobilink introducing several smartphones from Samsung, HTC and BlackBerry. They are confident having a partnership with Nokia.
Salman Siddiqui
Salman Siddiqui (Country General Manager, Microsoft Pakistan) came next and added how Nokia is glad with the new product line and expect it to be a success amongst other smart phones. He explained, Nokia with similar aesthetics and technology in their new line up would give a unique, uniform and easy access to information across computers, tablets (hint: Nokia tablets might be next!) and Nokia phones. He mentioned that Nokia has done exceptional job by introducing Windows Phone 8 which works with strong hardware specifications.

Federal diversity jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1332, requires that the dispute both involve more than $75,000 and that there be complete diversity, i.e., that no defendant be a citizen of any state of which a plaintiff is a citizen. While corporations, consequent to specific legislative designation, are deemed to be citizens of the jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction in which is located the corporation's principal place of business, an unincorporated association such as a partnership, limited partnership or LLC is deemed to be a citizen in which any of its partners/members are citizens to the effect that, for example, if a member of an LLC is itself another LLC or a partnership, citizenship must be tracked through all layers until there are reached either natural persons or corporations. A plaintiff bringing an action in federal court, or a defendant seeking to remove an action to federal court, is required to plead facts demonstrating that diversity exists. This obligation can be at best difficult to satisfy when one considers that the membership of partnerships and LLCs is almost never of public record. How then, can either the plaintiff or the defendant seeking to enlist diversity jurisdiction adequately plead its existence?
This dilemma was recently faced and addressed by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. In this case, the plaintiff brought an action in federal court against defendants including LLCs. Those defendants moved to dismiss the action on the basis that diversity jurisdiction had not been adequately pled. Of course, the information as to the membership of those defendant LLCs was uniquely within their control. As such, the plaintiff had pled diversity jurisdiction on the basis of "information and belief." Ultimately, the Third Circuit would confirm that "information and belief" pleading is at least initially sufficient. Lincoln Benefit Life Company v. AEI Life, LLC, No. 14-2660, 2015 WL 5131423, ___ F.2d__ (3rd Cir. Sept. 2, 2015).
Lincoln Benefit brought suit in order to have declared void two life insurance policies, alleging they were procured by fraud or for the benefit of third-party investors (i.e., "Stranger Originated Life Insurance" or "STOLI"). AEI Life, LLC and ALS Capital Ventures, LLC were identified as the record owners and beneficiaries of those two policies. In its Complaint, originally filed in New Jersey, Lincoln Benefit alleged that it is a citizen of Nebraska based upon its organization and principal place of business. It alleged, "upon information and belief," that AEI Life, LLC and ALS Capital Ventures, LLC were citizens of, respectively, New York and Delaware. In response:
The defendants filed motions to dismiss for, among other things, lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Their primary argument was that Lincoln Benefit failed to adequately plead diversity jurisdiction: an LLC's citizenship is determined by the citizenship of its members, and Lincoln Benefit had not alleged the citizenship of the members of the LLC defendants. Lincoln Benefit, in response, pointed out that none of the defendants had asserted that it was a citizen of Nebraska and further that, as information as to the membership of an LLC is not publicly available, it should be allowed to proceed on a "information and belief" basis or, in the alternative, it should be afforded the opportunity to undertake limited discovery for the purposes of confirming that diversity did exist. The trial court held against Lincoln Benefit, holding (a) that pleading diversity on the basis of information and belief is insufficient and (b) that allowing jurisdictional discovery would be inappropriate when it was not clear that the federal court did not already have jurisdiction. It was from these determinations that Lincoln Benefit appealed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Third Circuit, after providing a brief review of the rules of diversity jurisdiction, noted that there are two bases for challenging jurisdiction. First, there is a "facial attack," which, as was done in this case, alleges a deficiency in the pleadings. There is as well a "factual attack," which challenges whether the alleged facts justify jurisdiction. Distinguishing, in the setting of this dispute, a facial from a factual attack, the Court, wrote:
If the defendants here had challenged the factual existence of jurisdiction, Lincoln Benefit would have been required to prove by a preponderance of the evidence, after discovery, that it was diverse from every member of both defendant LLCs. Instead, however, the defendants mounted a facial challenge to the adequacy of the jurisdictional allegations in Lincoln Benefit's complaint. 2015 WL 5131423,* 3.
In reliance, at least in part, on the decision rendered in Lewis v. Rego, Co., 757 F.2d 66 (3rd Cir. 1985), and as well limiting Chem. Leaman Tank Lines, Inc. v. Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co., 177 F.3d 210, 222 n. 13 (3rd Cir., 1999), for the proposition that "rather than affirmatively alleging the citizenship of the defendant, a plaintiff may allege that the defendant is not a citizen of the plaintiff's state of citizenship." To the effect that:
A State X plaintiff may therefore survive a facial challenge by alleging that none of the defendant association's members are citizens of States X. Id. at *4.
provided that the plaintiff has undertaken reasonable inquiry in support thereof. To that end:
[B]efore alleging that none of an unincorporated association's members are citizens of a particular state, a plaintiff should consult the sources at its disposal, including court filings and other public records. If, after this inquiry, the plaintiff has no reason to believe that any of the Association's members share its state of citizenship, it may allege complete diversity in good faith. The unincorporated association, which is in the best position to ascertain its own membership, may then mount a factual challenge by identifying any member who destroys diversity. Id. Explaining the rationale for its holding, the Court wrote:
We believe that allowing this method of pleading strikes the appropriate balance between facilitating access to the courts and managing the burdens of discovery. District courts have the authority to allow discovery in order to determine whether subject-matter jurisdiction exists. Rule 8(a)(1), however, serves a screening function: only those plaintiffs who have provided some basis to believe jurisdiction exists are entitled to discovery on that issue. The corollary of this principle is that a plaintiff need not allege an airtight case before obtaining discovery.
Depriving a party of a federal forum simply because it cannot identify all of the members of an unincorporated association is not a rational screening mechanism. The membership of an LLC is often not a matter of public record. Thus, a rule requiring the citizenship of each member of each LLC to be alleged affirmatively before jurisdictional discovery would effectively shield many LLCs from being sued in federal court without their consent. This is surely not what the drafters of the Federal Rules intended.
Moreover, the benefits of such a stringent rule would be modest. Jurisdictional discovery will usually be less burdensome than merits discovery, given the more limited scope of jurisdictional inquiries. It seems to us that in determining the membership of an LLC or other unincorporated association, a few responses to interrogatories will often suffice. So long as discovery is narrowly tailored to the issue of diversity jurisdiction and parties are sanctioned for making truly frivolous allegations of diversity, the costs of this system will be manageable. Id. at * 5.
This opinion was followed by a concurrence written by Judge Ambro that, while not specifically commenting upon this dispute, urged the U.S. Supreme Court to in effect abandon the rule of Carden v. Arkoma Associates, 494 U.S. 185 (1990), and allow at least limited liability companies, notwithstanding the fact that they are unincorporated, to proceed under the rules for determining citizenship that are applicable to corporations.
Assuming the reasoning employed in the Lincoln Benefit decision is followed by the other circuits, this could be a most important decision. First, it significantly undercuts the large number of decisions that, to date, have held that citizenship must be pled specifically and not on information and belief. See, e.g., Principle Solutions LLC v. Feed.Ing BV, Case No. 13-C-223 (E.D. Wisc. June 5, 2013) ("It is well-settled that a plaintiff claiming diversity jurisdiction may not do so on the basis of information and belief, only personal knowledge is sufficient."); Pharmerica Corp. v. Crestwood Care, LLC, No. 13C 1422, 2015 WL 1006683 (E.D. Ill. March 2, 2015) ("[I]t is not sufficient to assert jurisdiction based on information and belief."); MCP Trucking, LLC v. Speedy Heavy Hauling, Inc., 2014 WL 5002116 (D. Colo. Oct. 6, 2014) (denying jurisdictional discovery and remanding action to state court even as it acknowledged that further discovery in that forum could demonstrate that diversity exists, leading to subsequent removal); Lake v. Hezebicks, 2014 WL 1874853 (N. D. Ind. May 9, 2014) (allegations of subject matter jurisdiction must be based on personal knowledge and may not be based upon information and belief and collecting cases to that effect). Further, it stands in direct challenges to those decisions that have held that citizenship must be affirmatively pled and that negative statements as to citizenship are insufficient. See, e.g., D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, LP v. Mehrotra, 661F.3d. 124 (1st Cir. 2011), citing Cameron v. Hodges, 127 U.S. 322 (1888). While it may do nothing to address the fact that diversity jurisdiction may be unavailable consequent to de minimis indirect ownership (see, e.g., Fadal Machining Centers, LLC v. Mid-Atlantic CNC, Inc., 2012 WL 8669, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 48 (Jan. 3, 2012), Alphonse v. Arch Bay Holdings, L.L.C., 2015 WL 4187585 (5th Cir. July 13, 2015)), it does limit the ability of a defendant to "hide the ball" as to its citizenship while objecting that the other side has not adequately pled citizenship and therefore diversity.

FAQ of titanium dioxide?
1. What is titanium dioxide? What is a photo catalyst?
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an anti-microbial metal created by a process which crystallizes titanic iron ore into a nano liquid form. When exposed to UV light in the sub 400 range, TiO2 becomes a photo catalyst oxidizer (PCO) as well which creates hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions which are two times stronger disinfectants than chlorine and 1.5 times stronger a disinfectant than ozone. TiO2 is safe and widely used in many household products such as toothpaste, food, and teeth whitening solutions. The advent of nano technology, in other words making tiny particles out of metals that can penetrate most surfaces, has led to several Japanese patents utilizing this nano TiO-2 photocatalytic solution which has many wide ranging applications and has experienced years of successful use in the Japanese marketplace. For instance the government uses this solution in some public bathrooms to keep them smelling fresh and more importantly maintenance free. TiO2 coatings are applied to some highway guard rails to keep them looking new amidst constant bombardment from hydrocarbons and VOC's from vehicle exhaust. The outside of some Japanese high rises are treated with TiO2 solution to make the glass and metal maintenance free, no more need to clean the windows, they resist water and grime. TiO2 coatings are also widely used in the healthcare, food, janitorial, auto, and construction business. Many homeowners treat their mini-blinds, windows, furniture, bathrooms, showers, carpets, flooring, etc. with similar TiO2 solutions to reap the benefits of VOC free, clean, fresh indoor air on top of the huge benefit of maintenance free surfaces. When microorganisms, smog, viruses, VOC, or any organic material comes in contact with the TiO2 treated surface, it also becomes oxidized. Even fabrics treated with this revolutionary substance will not retain odors. Car interiors treated with Nano TiO2, even when submitted to second hand smoke from several people for prolonged periods of time, will not retain any tobacco odor.
2. Are TiO2 coating harmless to humans? Is it harmless to pets?
Nano TiO2 liquid is completely harmless to human bodies and is actually used widely as a food additive. (View test results) Nano TiO2 liquid is made with a patented binding process that makes it possible for this liquid to penetrate and form a permanent bond with surfaces. It is not for human consumption in this nano liquid form of course. However, after it dries to form a film on a substance, it becomes one with the surface. Nano TiO2 liquid should not be applied directly on pets or animals. It can and should be used however to keep pet bedding from retaining odors.
3. After applied, does it produce any odor?
No, it does not have any odor. If applied to surfaces with for instance tobacco odors, those odors will go away.
4. Does this Nano TiO2 liquid have a shelf life?
Basically, there is no shelf life. This solution should be stored in a dark, cool environment long term however.
5. How is this Nano TiO2 liquid applied?
It can be brushed or sprayed onto surfaces. When applied to fabrics via spray, a brush should be used to work the solution into the fabric.
6. After it is applied, how long does it last?
The Titanium crystals in Nano TiO2 liquid form bonds that are semi-permanent. In case of some materials that may undergo a physical peeling off by some force (such as carpets, mats, and clothing), it is recommended to reapply the solution every 3 years. Generally speaking TiO-2 PCO Solution has a service life of 5-10 years or even longer on some surfaces that do not have a lot of contact. Basically, our solution will out-live many materials such as curtains, carpets, shingles, etc.
7. Does Nano TiO2 liquid cause any fabric discoloration or any streaking effects on solid surfaces?
Nano TiO2 liquid can be applied to fabrics, curtains, carpets, woods, tiles, ceramics, glass, even metal and painted surfaces. If the surface is exposed to direct sunlight, do not apply to black or very dark colored surfaces as the oxidation process can remove some pigments from surfaces. Indoor light is not strong enough to cause this oxidative reaction on fabrics and surfaces however. When spraying any surface with Nano TiO2 liquid, it is always advisable to spray a small area first (test area) then allow to dry to make sure the solution does not react with the surface. Do not apply Nano TiO2 liquid to leather, silk, or fine garments. Once you are confident that the fabric or material can safely be treated, spray the surface until it is completely moistened then brush in with any type of brush to work the Nano TiO2 liquid into the fabric. If applied to non-fabric surfaces (plastic, metal, glass, etc.) the initial coat will leave a fine milky residue. Allow the area to completely dry then wait several hours and wipe the area with a damp cloth.
8. How long does it take it to dry?
A film will have formed once the liquid has completely disappeared. The time needed for this to occur (evaporation time) will be varies with temperature, wind, and film thickness. Generally speaking, it only takes 5-15 minutes to dry on solid surfaces and around 1 hour or longer to dry on fabrics. Use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process as well as aid with the bonding process.
9. How long does Nano TiO2 liquid have be exposed to light before it released oxidizers into the air to get rid of indoor air pollution?
Studies have shown that this Nano TiO2 liquid will actively begin creating hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions when exposed to ultraviolet rays in the sub 400nm range. Regular house lights will even activate the TiO2's disinfectant effect to a minor extent, especially florescent type lamps such as those found in many kitchens. However it's direct sunlight, UV radiation, and black lights (UVA) that create the most oxidizers Hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions do not give off a strong beech like ozone does but they do aggressively go after odors and air pollution better than ozone or chlorine.
10. Does Nano TiO2 liquid remove odors from the air? From fabrics?
The surface area of titanium dioxide per gram is about 300um (equivalent to that of activated charcoal). When exposed to light, Nano TiO2 liquid will create -OH (hydroxyl radical) and O- (super oxide ions) which will decompose the substances which are creating the odor. The principal difference between titanium dioxide and other odor adsorbing substances including activated carbons is that titanium dioxide will repeats this disinfectant function semi-permanently vs. activated carbon and other adsorbing substances such as Zeolite which lose their effectiveness once they're full of absorbed substances.
11. How does Nano TiO2 liquid prevent and remove contamination from surfaces?
The reason why airborne contaminants such as second hand smoke, car exhaust, molds, VOC's, viruses, bacteria, etc. cannot adhere to surfaces treated with Nano TiO2 liquid is that they become oxidized by the photo-catalytic oxidation and float away as harmless substances.
12. Why does Nano TiO2 liquid have a sterilizing and anti-microbial effect?
The old standard for killing airborne microorganisms has been strong UVC radiation. (Over 20,000 microwatt's of UVGI per second) UVC germicidal radiation kills microbes by destroying their DNA. However, some microorganism, anthrax most notably, have very strong DNA coatings and can resist even 30,000 microwatt's of UVGI. Our Nano TiO2 liquid works in a different way. Titanium dioxide decomposes and destroys the cell membrane, not the DNA. Most microbes are single celled organisms so they die quickly when any part of them comes in contact with a coated surface. Accordingly, titanium dioxide even kills MRSA (Staphylococcus Aureus) a major cause of hospital infections. Our TiO2 solution has also been proven to even kill other types of microbes that are not even killed by antibiotics! (TiO2 is not selective on types of microorganism it kills, it kills them all). For this reason, Japanese hospitals have shown great anti-bacterial results with our particular patented brand of TiO2 solution. In addition, our Nano TiO2 liquid decomposes toxins that are discharged when microbes die (Verotoxins, Enterotoxins), rendering them into harmless vapors.
13. Exactly what types of odors will Nano TiO2 liquid eliminate?
It will remove virtually all and any type of odor from surfaces as treated surfaces become resistant to microorganisms, mold, bacteria, viruses, smoke, odors, etc. It removes odors from the air when a treated surface is exposed to certain light thus creating the photocatalytic oxidative superoxide ion and hydroxyl effect.
14. Does it work in cold environments such as freezers?
Yes. Microbes that come in contact with a treated surface will cease to exist.
15. Does Nano TiO2 liquid get rid of cigarette odors from tar and nicotine that have penetrated surfaces?
Yes. If a second hand smoke contaminated surface (second hand smoke is known to have over 400 known cancer causing chemicals) is treated with TiO2 PCO Solution, the odor will soon disappear. However, the discoloration caused by second hand smoke does not disappear. It is therefore advisable to first wash smoke contaminated surfaces that show discoloration before treatment.
16. How does the intensity of light affect the ability of this Nano TiO2 liquid to create friendly oxidizers which purify the air?
As a characteristic of titanium dioxide, it starts to produce friendly oxidizer en mass when exposed to ultraviolet rays of 400nm range or lower. It is more affected by the intensity of the ultraviolet rays rather than the intensity of light itself per se. However, any air pollution, VOC, or odor that comes in contact with a surface treated with Nano TiO2 liquid will become oxidized.
17. What are some of the more popular applications for Nano TiO2 liquid?
Bathrooms, floor tiles, sinks, showers, car interiors, to remove and prevent tobacco odors, kitchen counters, furniture and carpets (especially if you have pets), curtains, mini-blinds, windows exposed to light, ceiling fans, car rims, white outdoor furniture, house gutters (keep them mold free), concrete or brick that you want to keep mold free, the list goes on and on.
18. Can Nano TiO2 be applied to carpets?
Yes, and with great results! Carpets treated with Nano TiO2 will resist not only odors and grime but also pests such as fleas. Carpets will last much longer as well. For this reason, carpets and fabrics in trains and public transportation are now being treated with Nano TiO2 in Japan with great results.
