Former BJP Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa Saturday asserted that around 10 BJP ministers and 50 legislators in the state were with him.
His claim came just hours after BJP struck at two of his supporters in the party. Cooperation minister B.J. Puttaswamy was sacked from the cabinet while G.S. Basavaraj, Lok Sabha member from Tumkur, about 70km from Bangalore, was suspended from the party.
"The BJP should realise that it is running a coalition government (in Karnataka) with my supporters. Around 10 (BJP) ministers and 50 legislators are my supporters," he said in this north Karnataka town, about 350 km from Bangalore.
The BJP has 118 members in the 225-member assembly and 44 in the 75-member legislative council.
Yeddyurappa, who quit BJP Nov 30, is taking over as president of Karnataka Janata Party at a public meeting here Sunday.
He said Saturday's action against his two supporters meant the fall of the BJP government, headed by Jagadish Shettar, is near.
Meanwhile Karnataka Governor H. R. Bhardwaj accepted Shettar's recommendation to drop Puttaswamy from the cabinet, a Raj Bhavan communique said in Bangalore.

IT Support from Strategic Asset
Creativity and technology to help fuel innovation and drive business growth
IT strategy is the chrysalis that transforms IT support from a liability into a strategic asset.
IT Support Birmingham
As traditional businesses grow, people are employed, leave or change roles within a business. This includes the individual with responsibility for managing IT within the business. Naturally, a newly appointed person with responsibility for the business IT function will want to do things their way and over time, change leads to a disparate environment whereby the business IT systems become disjointed. As more technology initiatives are undertaken, complexity, costs and frustration arise. Consequently, responsibility for managing the IT support function eventually falls under the remit of one of three business functions – Finance, Procurement or Technical. When IT outsourcing is chosen as the solution the following scenarios are all too common:
Finance: Maintenance costs rise with complexity, maintenance agreements become vehicles for manufacture lock in and contractors are brought in to manage at mercenary rates with no loyalty to the company.
How an effective, joined up IT strategy reduces costs.
Finance: Reduce IT complexity and costs by consuming cloud based services. You no longer care what technology you use – just what it does. This avoids manufacturer lock in and provides cost transparency - per user, per workload (i.e. email), per month. Departments (i.e. Finance, HR, Sales) can be charged on a utilisation basis. Cloud based offerings no longer require mercenary IT contractors to operate, manage and support as the Cloud Solution Provider does this for you.
Procurement: Consolidate contracts and vendors with a Managed IT Services provider whose responsibility is to manage the complexity. This ensures no 'finger pointing' can occur. A single Managed Services Provider (MSP) avoids multiple start/finish dates and the MSP maintains the IT service. However, ensure they don't lock you into a contract which may simply transfer the problem to the Finance team.
Technical: By consolidating IT support services with a single Managed IT Services provider with a combined 24/7/365 network operations centre (NOC) and IT helpdesk, consistency is achieved. Ensure the MSP maintains highly effective and qualified people and processes with tools including an integrated Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solution which automatically tracks serial numbers. As before, ensure the provider is willing to lock you in with performance, not a contract.
Technology is an intrinsic part of any business that requires multiple stakeholders working together to overcome challenges. In traditional businesses 'silo's' naturally occur, but in Digitally mature transformative company's the team focusses on working together to delight customers. The first step to becoming a Digitally mature organisation is with an effective IT strategy.
At Strategic Asset, we help businesses throughout Birmingham to formulate an effective IT strategy. We help local businesses based in Birmingham and the surrounding area to reduce their IT support costs, grow with Digital marketing and transform traditional Birmingham based businesses into Digital leaders.
All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

Microfinance and Inequality
The paper examines the relationship between microfinance and inequality by providing a cross-country empirical study of 61 developing countries. We show that microfinance plays an important role in creating a financial system endowed with the equalizing effect. Thus far, only a few single-country analyses of the impact of microfinance on inequality have been performed. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to indicate the universality of the equalizing effect of microfinance by applying the cross-country methodology. We find that microfinance can lower inequality and that poorer countries need to focus more on the equalizing effects of microfinance.

Product Description
MeasuringAtlantic Bahamas Shutters are designed to fit over the window opening, not into the trap.
When measuring, measure the width and height of the window opening and add 3" to both the width and the height. This allows the shutter to be 10" larger than the actual window opening on all sides.
The 10" overhang on both sides provides room to attach the tilt arms to the shutter.
Shutter height can be 10" taller than window opening rather than 3" if there is a sill in the way of closing.
Due to louver placement Shutter sizes are shown at 10" increment. Please take this into account for proper closing
MaterialOur shutters use premium materials and are intended to be substantial in weight in order to provide a strong and beautiful shutter that maintains a lifetime of structural integrity.
Stiles and Louvers – Using marine grade fiberglass that is impervious to the elements, our patented design offers the strongest and most durable frame available on any composite shutter today. This is the same fiberglass material used on luxury yachts and racing boats.
Rails – Uses Structural grade PVC which allows for customization of rail sizes
view shutters specification sheet >>
AssemblyEach shutter is hand assembled and individually built on-site in our facility to your exacting specifications.
We use specially formulated urethane adhesives that allow for a clean and smooth finish without nail, screw or rivet marks. These adhesives are the same used to hold fiberglass shells on automotive frames.
view Bahama shutters installation instructions>>
FinishWe use a specially formulated industrial two part acrylic urethane finish that chemically bonds to the shutter material.
Every shutter receives a finishing process that includes two finish coats and a proprietary oven curing process to further strengthen and enhance the finish.
By partnering with the world leader in finishes, we have the ability to match any color with a 100% color match guarantee.

How Taco Bell Succeeded By Ignoring A Marketing Taboo
Taking direct aim at a competitor in advertising is usually a no-no in marketing but for Taco Bell in its breakfast war with McDonald's, it so far appears to have been the right approach.
With nearly a dozen aggressive TV ads airing since March, including a spot featuring real-life men named Ronald McDonald professing their love for Taco Bell, Taco Bell is generating plenty of online buzz and prompting McDonald's to respond online.
So far the Taco Bell breakfast ads are scoring slightly higher, in terms of likeability, than McDonald's breakfast pitches, according to Ace Metrix, a research firm that measures ad performance in the U.S.
Moreover, Taco Bell's parent company Yum! Brands claims success with its breakfast push, telling analysts earlier this month it was seeing a "dramatic difference" in same-store sales growth between restaurants offering breakfast and those that don't. Its breakfast push is already profitable, it said.
Last week Taco Bell embarked on the latest round in the marketing war, releasing its latest set of breakfast ads including another spot featuring people called Ronald McDonald talking up Taco Bell's new breakfast offerings while taking jabs at the Burger Baron.
Going after McDonald's so directly caused some angst inside Taco Bell, conscious that taking aim at a competitor is risky. Indeed, there is some "negative sentiment" surrounding Taco Bell's Ronald ads, said Peter Daboll, chief executive officer at Ace Metrix. Some consumers view those ads as "attack ads," he added.
Moreover, the Taco Bell breakfast ads scoring the highest among consumers are not those featuring the Ronald character, Ace Metrix says, but rather ads that feature two old men watching young people get their breakfasts at Taco Bell and wondering why it's good to eat breakfast with one hand.
Still, Taco Bell has little choice if it is to succeed in establishing itself as a breakfast destination alongside McDonald's, which has more than 19% of the fast-food breakfast market, according to Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
So far McDonald's doesn't seem to be worried. "Customers choose McDonald's breakfast because of our great, freshly prepared products; every morning we crack fresh eggs, grill sausage and bacon, bake biscuits, toast muffins and brew our outstanding McCafe coffee. Year-to-date breakfast sales are up for the U.S. business. We remain focused on our customers."
Changing breakfast behavior is one of the most vexing marketing challenges in the business. "Breakfast is the hardest day part to crack," said Tony Pace chief marketing officer of Subway. "In this crazy, anything can happen world, the morning routine is usually the only thing most people can count on," he added.
Pete Favat, chief creative officer at Taco Bell's ad firm Deustch LA, says people "don't want to think about breakfast because they are still a zombie in the morning."
To help wake them up, Taco Bell needs to be provocative. "Without tension no one pays attention," says Mr. Fava. "It would be like the Movie Jaws without the shark."
Moreover, Taco Bell faces a big-spending rival which has been in the business for decades. Compared with Taco Bell's $12 million, McDonald's spent $47 million in the first quarter, Kantar Media data shows.
Last year, McDonald's shelled out a total of $136.1 million on breakfast themed ads in the U.S., Kantar estimates. And that figure doesn't include the heavy amount of dollars it pours into social media, and other forms of marketing such events, contents, online video ads and social media. Consumers routinely are bombarded with image of Egg McMuffin on Twitter nowadays.
A person familiar with Taco Bell said the company is planning to spent between $40 million and $50 million on ads for its breakfast launch. A spokesman for Taco Bell declined to give out specific spending figures but did say this will be the company's biggest marketing push in its history.

Audit Option
If an instructor permits a student to take a class on an "Audit" basis, the student is required to be officially enrolled in the class and submit a Credit/No Credit/Audit option form(PDF) by last day to add of each semester (check Registration Calendar for exact date).
"AU" - Auditing a Class
An auditor must be officially enrolled in the course. Enrollment as an auditor is subject to permission of the instructor provided there is space available in the course. Auditors are subject to the same fee structure as credit students and regular class attendance is expected. Once enrolled as an auditor, a student may not change to credit status unless such a change is requested no later than the last day to add classes in that term. A student who is enrolled for credit may not change to audit after the last day to add classes in that term.

Wearing the tan and green uniform with five stars for the first time, interim Sheriff John Scott looked into the faces of Los Angeles County's next generation of deputies and police officers Friday and called on them to serve with honor.
"Look down at your badge, which was just pinned on you — see how it shines?" Scott asked Sheriff's Academy Class No. 397 at its graduation ceremony at East L.A. College. "Never allow it to be tarnished."
"Make a pledge to yourself that you will always uphold the law," added the man appointed to help salvage the Sheriff's Department's reputation amid scandals over excessive use of force and other problems. "Never do anything to dishonor yourself, the department or the profession of law enforcement."
Deputy David Kriege of Ontario took his new boss' message to heart. "I just want to make sure to do everything to the best of my abilities," he said between congratulatory hugs from his adoring 8-year-old nephew, also wearing a badge, this one made of plastic.
Deputy Michael Kim of Irvine, who graduated at the top of the class, exuded confidence about getting the job done. "We got trained by the best in the world, and I'm pretty confident that we'll be successful in the field," he said.
Of the 48 graduates, two decided to wear blue instead of tan and green, including Officer Robert Josett, who will serve alongside his brother in the Montebello Police Department.
Josett completed the 20-week course at the Sheriff's Academy, located in Whittier, with the highest grade point average, 95.55. But it was the physical aspect of training that sometimes got the better of him, particularly alternating push-ups with sprints around a track — over and over and over again.
"That was pretty grueling," Josett said, shaking his head. "I got sick a few times doing that."
"It was very strenuous, with defensive tactics, learning how to overcome any battle, any resistance, win any fight — basically survival. There was also a lot of leadership training and discipline."
Almost half of the coed multi-racial class were Latinas — 19 in all. Deputy Claudia Maldonado was among them. "Having two daughters myself, I'm very happy that we women made it through, all of us together," she said.
"It shows that we're all equal," Maldonado added. "Male or female, it doesn't matter. In law enforcement, what matters is the badge."
At age 36, Deputy Adriana Diaz was the oldest member of the class but arguably the most determined.
Ever since she was a girl, growing up in a tough Los Angeles neighborhood, Diaz had wanted to be in law enforcement. But after failing the written exam a few times, she ended up getting an education degree instead and working for almost 20 years in the restaurant industry.
When she found out there was no age limit to joining the Sheriff's Department, however, she tried again. And this time, with life experience and education in her pocket, she made it all the way to the end.
"I'm not saying it was easy," Diaz said. "Everything you get in the academy, you have to earn — it's not given to you. It's about what in your heart and how much you want it."
During the graduation ceremony, Diaz's former co-workers from a Sizzler restaurant in Inglewood were moved to tears by the sight of her finally getting her badge.
"When she wants to do something, she just goes for it," said Mayra Sepulveda, a waitress. "She deserves this."

Kaman Aerospace has started production flight testing for the first of 10 SH-2G(l) Super Seasprite helicopters from its Bloomfield, Conn. facility. The fleet of helicopters, destined for New Zealand, is due for delivery in mid-2015.
New Zealand ordered 10 Super Seasprites, plus spares, a full mission simulator and logistics support in a $120 million deal in May 2013. The helicopters, upgraded former U.S. Navy SH-2Fs, were originally ordered by Australia but the Australian Government cancelled its troubled Super Seasprite program in early 2008 after it fell seven years behind schedule, was more than 40 percent over budget and faced ongoing technical issues.
SH-2G(l) Super Seasprite. Photo courtesy Kaman Aerospace
Australia ordered 11 Super Seasprites in 1997 under a $692 million contract with Kaman, with first deliveries scheduled for 2001. The program suffered numerous problems, however, including technical issues, difficulties defining requirements and changed airworthiness arrangements. Problems with the helicopter's integrated tactical avionics system resulted in Australia provisionally accepting nine Super Seasprites in an interim configuration from 2003, but in March 2006 the fleet was grounded due to problems with the automatic flight control system. The program was subsequently cancelled and the helicopters were returned to Kaman for resale.
The Super Seasprites will replace New Zealand's aging Seasprites. The Super Seasprites feature modernized flight control systems, radar, new sensors and sensor communication system and the Penguin anti-ship missile. The helicopters, which will operate from two ANZAC class frigates, will support missions including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, surveillance, troop transport, search and rescue and vertical replenishment.

Universities hope to freeze tuition
Leaders of Iowa's public universities are expected to discuss budget and tuition plans with lawmakers.
Iowa Board of Regents President Craig Lang and President Pro Tem Bruce Rastetter will testify Tuesday to the Legislature's education appropriations subcommittee.
They'll be followed by University of Iowa President Sally Mason, Iowa State University President Steven Leath and outgoing University of Northern Iowa President Ben Allen.
Higher education leaders are generally pleased with Gov. Terry Branstad's budget proposal, which would give them enough funding to freeze tuition next year for undergraduate students.
But Lang and Rastetter are expected to lobby for additional money for a new state-funded financial aid program. They hope the program will allow universities to stop using tuition revenue to fund grants and scholarships, which would allow regents to reduce rates.
The president of the University of Iowa says she'll push for a tuition freeze for undergraduate students as long as the Legislature approves inflationary increases in the school's budget.
Iowa President Sally Mason said she'll back a tuition freeze for undergraduates as long as she's president.
In order for the University of Iowa to hold the line on increases, however, she says lawmakers must approve "modest inflationary increases in appropriations."
The Board of Regents has voted to keep tuition at current levels next school year for in-state undergrads at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and University of Northern Iowa, but the freeze is contingent on a 2.5 percent funding increase.

Why Legitimate App Email is Mistaken For SpamSendGrid Team
Do you ever get reports from your customers that "this email" or "that email" was never received? Chances are, your answer is an emphatic "Yes", but rest assured – you're not alone. In fact, the open "secret" of email communications is that nearly 20% of legitimate email is never delivered to the intended inbox. Overall, more than half of all email sent is considered to be abusive or illegitimate. So, what do these unfortunate statistics have to do with your business?
With the overwhelming amount of crummy email floating about the interwebs, ISPs spend most of their time trying to identify the "good" email from the billions of spam messages that hit their networks each day. It truly is a search for the proverbial needle in a haystack. Here are some things you may be doing (knowingly or not) that make your mail more like the hay and less like that elusive needle.
• A poorly configured infrastructure is making you appear to be shady character! Maybe you've got an open proxy or relay, or some other security issue is detected within your mail server configuration.
• Your sender identity is not authenticated, stranger! In the absence of authentication of all your emails, it is very difficult for an ISP to confirm that you are in fact a legitimate sender. Learn more about authentication here.
• You've failed to maintain a clean list, ya dirty scoundrel! Diligent and prudent list management is the foundation of any effective email program. This means you've got up-to-date contact information for your subscribers, you rapidly remove people upon request, you properly process hard and soft bounces, etc.
• You went and earned yourself a bad reputation, partner! 'Reputation,' in the wild world of email, is a set of metrics ISPs look at to determine the quality of the sender. Sending to spam traps, subscribers reporting your messages as spam or appearing on blacklists are factors that can tank your reputation.
Don't assume that ISPs are going to automatically know you for the legitimate business you are; or that they'll view your emails as the expected communications your customers want and have requested. If you've noticed some odd blips in your email activity metrics, such as precipitous declines in open rates, it could mean that your email is getting blocked.
Take charge of your email today and learn more about improving your email reputation and the resulting deliverability, by attending our webinar next week. Sign up today to discover our 7 Tips to Improve Your Sender Reputation.

Earlier this year, the Knicks and east coast scouting director Rodney Heard were fined on behalf of a 2010 yahoo article uncovering years of illegal workouts performed by Heard. The Knicks were fined 200,000 and Heard 20,000. The yahoo sports article written by Adrian Wojnarowski can be found here. Heard is most famous for holding an illegal workout with Kansas forward Brandon Rush in an Atlanta gymnasium that resulted in a bad knee injury causing Rush to go back to Kansas for another season.
Rodney Heard had an expiring contract this offseason and the Knicks have decided to part ways with him. Heard came to the Knicks as a close friend of Isiah Thomas so it should be no surprise that he caused the Knicks tons of PR trouble and money with his illegal workouts. I was happy to hear that Heard and the organization were going separate ways. We do not need anymore Isiah Thomas shit going on in the organization.

Conversations about Cloud – "What about my Data?"
This week I had a separate discussion with a CIO of a large manufacturing company about Cisco's Cloud Computing strategy and how we could help them with an upcoming transition in their Data Center equipment and facilities. My their own admission, they are a fairly conservative company and asked me to avoid any hype or hyperbole in this discussion. They just wanted to talk about the current state of IT.
I started the conversation with two pictures that I often use:
I always let customers know that the reality of today is there are many legitimate ways to deliver Cloud Computing services as an IT organization. Some of them can come from your internal systems ("Private Cloud"), some will come from commodity Cloud services ("Public Cloud"), some will come via Service Providers and Hosting Providers, and others may come from the SaaS offerings that Cisco provides (eg. WebEx, ScanSafe, etc.). The key to all of this is to determine what services their users, partners and business need, and then evaluate where to best deliver the IT services from. Some choices will be driven by time-to-market, others by cost, and still others by industry or government regulations. In the long-run, we fully expect that most customers' IT portfolio will be delivered through a mix of Private and Public services. Cisco plays a critical role in this because of our experience helping customers through IT transitions for the past 20+ years, and because of the critical role the network plays in delivering Highly Available, Secure and Mobility-Aware experiences to users on any device or in any location. Then we talked about the "tipping point" that CIOs must now face, which is that some Public Cloud services are well ahead of internal IT departments in their ability to deliver services at lower costs and with faster response times to a business. So all the discussions about IT goals – saving money, improved response times, greater business agility – those now have external benchmarks that IT departments need to measure themselves against. And many CIOs are now asking how they can take the best-practices of those Public Cloud services and leverage them internally, where it makes sense.
After internalizing the first couple of discussions and making various notes, the CIO looked up at me and asked, "If I use a Public Cloud (any of them), what happens to my data?"
- How can I see where it is?
- How can I make localized copies, or peer it with other services/carriers?
- How can I get it back if I decide to leave that service/carrier, or if they go out of business?
- How do I know that it hasn't been viewed by anyone else?
- How do I know that it's not being used for analytics and sold (summarized, anonymized or however) to advertisers or other 3rd parties?
- How do I know that my competition, who might also be using the same service, can't view it?
The rest of the presentation stayed in the bag and we spent the remaining time talking about this single topic.
- We talked about the use of APIs to access data or share it between services.
- We talked about various ways to encrypt data at-rest and in-flight.
- We talked about auditing systems for Cloud services.
- We talked about how legal jurisdiction differs in various parts of the world and how it was important to know where your data was stored.
- We talked about reading the fine print in contracts and SLAs, but also planning for failures within external services and plans to minimize that risk.
- We talked about whose responsibility it was to secure that data (the customers) and how that security changes when data is outside their Data Center.
Needless to say, the conversation could have gone on for quite a while. And I'm the first to admit that I didn't have all the answers because in many cases there isn't a clear cut answer. Some of these areas are evolving. At Cisco we're doing quite a bit in terms of building the technologies to help address these questions, but I'll again be the first to admit that we could be doing a better job of articulating this to our customers and helping to educate them.
So my questions to you are:
- What have been your experiences with your data when using Public Cloud services?
- How are you addressing the questions above?
- Does your CIO feel comfortable with your answers?
- What unique requirements does your industry have regarding your data and how is it impacted by Public Cloud?
- What unique requirements does your country have regarding your data and how is it impacted by Public Cloud?
- What would you like to see more of from Cisco to help you answer these questions, or questions about your data and Private Cloud (or any Cloud service for that matter)?
We'd love to hear your feedback. Please place it in the comments section below, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that in the public domain, please send them directly to me via email.

Can a Woman Keep her Surname after Marriage?
Adopting a new surnameHistorically, the expectation and indeed the norm was that a woman would assume the husband's surname after marriage. Women did not even think twice about assuming her husband's surname after marriage. As times are changing keeping the maiden name hyphenated with the husband's surname is apparently a fad. Both in same-sex and opposite-sex marriages these days there isn't any hard and fast rule anymore that the wife must assume the surname of her husband. It's a moot point that modern married women who may be working professionals having to change their surnames by assuming their husband's surname. Rather keeping their surnames after marriage maybe is a practical and rational choice rather than a compulsion based on custom.Undeniably assuming the husband's surname after marriage is indeed a lot of hassle in the sense that married women have to change their surnames on all of their government IDs including Aadhar card, PAN card, Voter ID so on and so forth which women of this day and age intend to avoid. Women could not voice their opinion probably until a few decades ago. They were more docile as men played a dominant role in society. They had to submit to the diktats of custom or tradition. With times changing though, these days both opposite-sex and same-sex marriages have several options and they are as follows:Women can assume the last name of their husbands Women can keep their maiden namesThe maiden name of a wife can be hyphenated along with the surname of the husbandA new surname that is a fusion of the surnames of both the spouses could be created and can be used by both spousesSpouses may prefer keeping their own surnames but their children's surnames can be hyphenated The run-up to marriage is fraught with making decisions. There are numerous decisions on the anvil namely the color scheme, the food, and the venue. Decisions need to be made after the marriage as well. One of those vital decisions to be made is whether or not the woman would assume the surname of her husband or keep her maiden name after marriage. Recent reports indicate that a vast majority of brides tend to take the husband's surname after marriage while the remaining opt to either retain their maiden name or opt to hyphenate which is the case for same-sex couples as well. A survey revealed that female couples more than their male counterparts preferred to assume the name of their male spouse after marriage.The question invariably is whether a name change is right or wrong. There isn't a right answer working for everyone and one has to consider several aspects to assume the name of one's partner.Name Change through Common UsageIt's entirely the discretion of the wife as to whether or not the wife would assume the surname of her husband. However, if the wife decides on changing his/her surname one can through "common usage" fairly easily. The wife historically had this option of adopting her husband's surname.Although common usage name changes in instances of same-sex marriages, ought to be valid, however as same-sex marriage adds a relatively new dimension to marital bonding, one may have to get a name change ordered by the court.For legal validation of a name change by applying the common usage method the steps to follow are:A copy of one's marriage certificate as proof of name changeAn updated driver's license against a copy of one's marriage certificateGet a new Aadhar card/PAN card/Voter ID card with one's new surname against one's marriage certificate, andUpdating any bank, insurance, passport, or employer records against one's marriage certificateThis process can be completed relatively easily if the new surname after marriage reflects on one's marriage certificate. If one already has children or having children is in the works then one might as well change one's name so as to have a single-family name for all family members. However, if a new surname different from the surname of the other spouse is to be used by a spouse, the spouse intending a name change would have to undergo the official name change ordered by the court. If there is malafide intention of committing fraud or concealing an identity then a name change is undesirable and can be prevented in some jurisdictions.Name Change through a Court OrderA court-ordered name change in comparison with the common usage name change though is complicated is by far simpler to complete. In the vast majority of cases, a request for a name change has to be submitted along with an order proposal to be reviewed and signed by a judge.In all likelihood, a judge may set a date for the hearing of one's case ensuring that one's request for the name change is not, in fact, a malafide intention of committing fraud. Once the order has been received with one's request granted, one has to undergo the common usage process for changing one's name on one's driver's license, Aadhar Card, PAN Card and Voter ID card. ?Rather than provide a copy of one's marriage certificate, submitting the certified copy of the name change court order is the requirement. If you need any professional advice, speak to an expert lawyer on a name change after marriage at Vidhikarya.

Can a Husband get Maintenance from his Wife?
For both spouses, divorce is as stressful as its challenging. Finance among other key aspects of divorce can only be handled by an expert financial advisor for their clients. There are legal services connecting top lawyers to clients and in the process facilitate effective assistance in a wide variety of financial issues including and transcending alimony/ maintenance, financial security, asset/property distribution, child support, financial planning after divorce and the resultant tax implications.According to divorce lawyers, after divorce alimony payment to the husband by the wife is enforceable by the husband but whether or not the wife is liable to pay alimony/maintenance is for the courts to decide and accordingly take a call on granting the same. Maintenance and expenses of proceedings If it appears to the court in any proceeding u/s 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 that either the husband or the wife whatever be the case, is not financially independent enough to be self-supporting and to afford the proceeding's necessary expenses let alone child custody after divorce, it may, contingent upon the husband or the wife applying for a divorce petition, the court orders the respondent to ensure that the petitioner gets paid on account of the expenses of the proceeding an amount commensurate with the petitioner's own income and that of the respondent it may appear to be reasonable to the court. Permanent alimony and maintenance(1) Courts with jurisdiction according to section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 can, while passing a decree or subsequently, on the basis of an application made to the court for permanent alimony and maintenance by either spouse, as may actually be the case, decree that the respondent pay the applicant for either spouse's maintenance and support a gross monthly amount or an amount periodically with the term of the payment not to exceed the lifetime of the applicant commensurate with the income of the respondent and the applicant's any other property, the parties conduct, and other situations relevant to the case, the court may deem it to be just and fair in securing similar payments if required by putting a lien on the respondent's immoveable property.(2) The satisfaction of the Court in regards to the possible altered situation of either party after the order has been passed under sub-section (1) of section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 is vital. The Court may still at the behest of either the husband or the wife, modify, vary, or rescind such orders according to the best judgment of the court.(3) Should the Court be satisfied with the fact that the order passed in favor of a party remarries or, if the said party happens to be the wife, who is not chaste or if the said party happens to be the husband, who may have had an extramarital affair, the court may similarly at the behest of the other husband or the wife as the case may be, vary, modify or rescind such orders in a way the court may deem fair and just.Amongst other rights validated by divorce and matrimonial laws, the most crucial right is the right of receiving and claiming alimony or maintenance. Usually, alimony is an allowance which the husband has to pay to the wife following the orders of the court for the wife's sustenance. There are five distinct communities that constitute our society including Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis, and Jews. The personal laws of each community are derived from customs, traditions and religious scriptures. Therefore, the purpose of a Hindu woman seeking divorce and alimony, for example, may differ from community to community. Likewise, the law on alimony and maintenance may vary as the applicable personal law keeps changing from community to community. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for example, both spouses have a legal entitlement towards permanent alimony and maintenance. If the couple remarries though, under the Special Marriage Act 1954, it's only the wife who would be entitled to permanent alimony and maintenance. In the case of mutual consent divorce of a couple, it's for the couples to arrive at an agreement as to whether or not any alimony or maintenance payments are to be made by any of the parties. In cases of this nature, alimony/maintenance payments can go both ways; the husband to the wife as well as the wife to the husband based on how well the couples understand each other. The court's passing of the divorce decree is based on the terms agreed-upon among couples. The decree is binding on the couple and is enforceable by a court of law.The hot topic these days regarding divorce is whether or not ex-husbands can claim maintenance from their ex-wives. It has always been the other way round. The blog talks about maintenance and expenses of proceedings as well as permanent alimony and maintenance.Get in touch with Vidhikarya Legal Services, an enabler or facilitator when it comes to connecting clients to best lawyers with huge experience in handling family and marital issues.

Sorry did not find any Lawyers as per your selection!
Place your request by posting your matter we will get back to you with suitable options.
Your Legal Matter
- What are the laws on debt recovery?
- How do one pay off debt in collections?
- How long can a debt be collected?
- What are the main features of debt recovery laws?
- How to respond to a summon of debt collection?
In 2016, Prakash Sarvankar who used to live in Mumbai committed suicide accusing for his death a recovery agent. Instances like these indicated the terror of recovery agents. Hence laws were made to regulate this aspect of the society.
Some of the governing laws in this topic are:
- Enforcement of Security Interest and Recovery of Debts Laws and Miscellaneous Provisions (Amendment) Act, 2016
- Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993
- Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act)
Some features of Debt-Recovery Laws:
- Debt Recovery Tribunals in case the defaulter is a company order for the sale proceeds to be distributed amongst creditors
- Debt Recovery Tribunals are not bound by the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, they're guided by principles of natural justice.
- As per Rule 4 of the Debts Recovery Tribunal (Procedure) Rules, 1993; an application filed must set forth concisely under distinct heads, the grounds for such application and such grounds shall be numbered consecutively and shall be typed in double space on one side of the paper.
If banks still employ an illegal assault oriented method of recovering their money, then, informing the police is of importance. In the event that you get intimidating calls, contact the police and let the bank know that you are informing about the issue to the Police. Gripe sharply to the bank. Debilitate suit if require be. Keep an audio recorder prepared to avoid potential risk against additionally calls.
In the discussion, attempt to get the recovery agent to unmistakably say what he needs from you, the name of his organization and which bank has procured him.
On the off chance that the goons visit you, document an objection at the closest police station. Take photos of the individual who has gone to your home and present these to the police.
You can sue the bank exclusively, or approach a Consumer Action Group, some of which are recorded below :

Princes and Crows Wallpaper House Tour
A Visit to Wallpaper Designer's Alix Soubiran's Los Feliz Home
A Visit to Wallpaper Designer's Alix Soubiran's Los Feliz Home
When Parisian artist Alix Soubiran, the founder and creative force behind wallpaper company Princes & Crows, first discovered the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz, she knew that she'd found her perfect spot in the sprawling metropolis. Alix told me, "I felt I could live happily in LA when I discovered Los Feliz. It is an eclectic and vibrant community with charming houses in a green and hilly neighborhood. It is also the home of coyotes, skunks, squirrels, and hummingbirds. I am able to walk to the magazine stand, have a croissant at Figaro, go to Blue Rooster Art Supplies, get lost in time at Skylight Books, and watch a movie at the Los Feliz 3. It is like living in a village."
Extensive renovation of a Los Feliz bungalow, which Alix describes as "mid-century California meets 18th-century France," has provided the perfect home for Alix, her boyfriend Joe Mauceri, their daughter Monica-Moonshine, and their rabbit Mr. Pikapou.
Keep clicking to tour their home, and to hear more about Alix's wallpaper company, her history as an artist and muralist, and the story of their home.

This combination of cupcake, filling & icing comes from a couple of different sources. The icing is my most recent favorite buttercream recipe from my Junior's Cheesecake cookbook (link below)
The cupcake recipe and chocolate chip cookie dough icing recipes comes from my new cookbook
This chocolate cake recipe is SO simple and really delicious. It's the quickest from scratch cake recipe ever. It's honestly almost as quick as a cake mix. It does not make many cupcakes so I would double the recipe, which I did, which resulted in 21 cupcakes.
The filling I used was leftover from icing my last cookies.
It's an icing recipe but works great as a filling. The photos I show make it look like it's just white filling. I happen to halve a cupcake that didn't have many mini chocolate chips in the filling so you can't see them. But the filling DOES resemble chocolate chip cookie dough.
This whole combination looks time consuming but it's really not. They are 3 simple recipes. To save time, you can simply fill your cupcakes with the icing and throw in a few mini chocolate chips.
Oh, and I purchased a new $5.00 little cupcake corer and it's works beautifully. Yes, it's easy to use a knife but this little piece of plastic makes the whole process of coring cupcakes very quick and makes nice uniform holes. I recommend it!
Chocolate Cupcakes
The Cookie Dough Lovers Cookbook
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
In large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugars, baking soda, baking powder & salt. Make a well in the center & add milk, oil, vanilla & eggs. Stir until just combined. Fill cupcake papers about 2/3 full. Bake 18-22 mintues or until test done.
For the filling:
3/4 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup light brown sugar, backed
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar, or more as needed
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
To prepare frosting, beat together butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in flour and salt, followed by vanilla. Add 4 cups of the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add heavy cream, and beat until fluffy. Add more powdered sugar as necessary, 1/4 cup at a time, until frosting is thick yet spreadable.

Nice Post. It makes logical sense. It is only cold at the surface level. The waves as you call them are similes to degrees of separation. I like how you connected these degrees to the fact that one needs to actually leverage these degrees. Without the work, these waves, as you say, will die.
Feb 1 2010
Having employees help spread the word is a great idea – in theory. However, I suspect that many of the companies that would benefit the most from this are the same companies that prevent their employees from accessing facebook at their desks, and probably the same companies that when reporting to their board say "yeah, we tried social media, but it didn't work for us."
I like the idea though and *HOPE* I can implement it at my 9-5.

- Pour mixture into an 8 or 9 inch square pan and freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen 1 inch around the edges.
- Stir well with a fork to break up large pieces of ice.
- Cover and freeze 3 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Once frozen, let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, than scrape with a large metal spoon, creating coarse pebbles of ice.
- Serve in chilled bowls or glasses. Microwave raspberry jam until just pourable and drizzle over top of each serving.

This 'N That
Various notes of interest … or lack thereof …
Just finalized reservations to cover the Salt Lake series at Las Vegas April 13-15. It'll be the opening homestand for the 51s, who are a Dodgers affiliate.
Still working on the next episode of FutureAngels.com Radio. It should be on-line this weekend. The episode after that will be sometime after returning from Las Vegas.
I must be the only person who goes to Las Vegas and doesn't gamble …
Dustin Moseley will fill in for Jered Weaver in the Angels' starting rotation.
According to this morning's Salt Lake Tribune, both Brandon Wood and Matt Brown will be on the Triple-A Salt Lake roster. Hmmm … If Wood plays third base, where will Matt Brown play?! Unless the Angels are planning to move Wood back to shortstop?! Or Brown?! Some have suggested Brownie play first base, but if Kendry Morales goes back to Salt Lake first base will belong to Kendry.
If Wood or Brown play shortstop, does that mean Erick Aybar has made the parent club roster?! Or he's moving to center field?! Guess we'll have to wait and see … Aybar sprained his left foot yesterday but Mike Scioscia was quoted as saying it wasn't serious. Reggie Willits took a knee to the head sliding into third but is just a "little woozy."
The Angels announced that Dustin Moseley will be in the rotation until Jered Weaver returns to the rotation … Various media reports have Weaver and Bartolo Colon making rehab starts in early April for Rancho Cucamonga … or Salt Lake … or a combination thereof. Best to wait and see.
The parent club will play the Dodgers the next three days, with all three games televised on various stations in L.A.

The Database
The Cowrie Genetic Database Project has been established to rigorously examine the phylogenetic relationships within this diverse group of marine snails using a variety of DNA molecular markers. The proximate goals of the project are essentially twofold:
2. to examine phylogeographic patterning at both the specific and subspecific levels
The ultimate goals of the project are to use these phylogenies to test various theories concerning speciation mechanisms in the tropical marine realm. Such studies help to understand processes that build and maintain marine biodiversity. This work was initiated by Chris Meyer at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) for his doctoral dissertation under the guidance of Dr. Jere Lipps, and supported by the Univeristy of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP). After completion of his dissertation in the fall of 1998, the work was continued at the University of Guam's Marine Lab (UOGML) with Dr. Gustav Paulay through June of 2000. We are now in the Invertebrate Department at the Florida Museum of Natural History located at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The research has been funded by NSF grants through Systematic Biology and Biological Oceanography.

Reactions to Phillies manager Charlie Manuel's firing last Friday have been all over the map.
Some have been angry. Others have been sad. Some have been surprised. Some have said they fired the wrong guy, that General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. is the guy who should have been axed. Some believe it was just the right thing to do.
While I understand all of those reactions – and share them in varying degrees at varying times – what I feel most is disappointment, not with the decision but with the timing.
While there is no question that managers and head coaches arrive for duty with an expiration date, the way they leave their role should be tailored to the way in which they did their jobs.
What is clear in the Manuel situation is that his eight years and eight months as the Phillies' skipper were the most successful in franchise history.
The winningest Phillies manager (780-637), he led a perennial also-ran to five straight National League East championships (2007-2011), two National League Pennants (2008, 2009) and the World Series victory in 2008, only the second in the Phillies 130-year existence.
His time as manager covered what may be the team's strongest era. The only other period that comes close is the period from 1975 to 1983. The Phils reached the playoffs six times in that period, went to two World Series (1980, 1983) and won only the 1980 Fall Classic. Who was the manager during that period? There wasn't just one manager, there were four: Danny Ozark, Dallas Green, Pat Corrales and Paul Owens.
Manuel accomplished alone what it took four guys to do 30-plus years ago. He did it with considerably less drama and controversy.
In spite of getting off to a rocky start – primarily because of his somewhat original way of dealing with the English language (not all that dissimilar to Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra, two other beloved managers of some renown) – Manuel's tenure made it clear that he was passionate about baseball, was a brilliant manager of people, was as knowledgeable a baseball man as any organization could want, never publicly criticized his players (except, perhaps, for one rather infamous encounter with pitcher Brett Myers in the dugout), and remained loyal to and supportive of his players even when they were having a tough time.
The Manuel era, for all that, was clearly coming to an end. Ultimately the team needs to move into a new era. It was likely, many felt, that Ryne Sandberg would be his successor. It all made perfect sense: the 69-year old Manuel would step down when his contract ended after this season and Sandberg would take up the reins.
And then they fired him with 42 games to go.
Their rationale was that they shouldn't leave him hanging out there as a lame duck after they told him he wouldn't be renewed. They also wanted to see if Sandberg could re-energize a clearly floundering group a bit before the season ended.
Baseball is a business. The team has to make decisions that will allow it to earn the money it needs to field a squad that will win. Losers don't draw fans.
Under almost all similar situations I would have applauded the decision to cut ties with the manager and move on to the next chapter.
But this man, and what he brought to the organization, to his players, to the fans and to the city, is special.
This was Charlie, as decent a human being as ever led a major league sports team while at the same time being eminently successful. His last victory was career win number 1,000. Only 58 other managers out of the eight hundred and some who have held that post in the history of the Major Leagues have won 1,000 games.
Charlie deserved to finish out his time on the bench with dignity and to retire after appropriate acknowledgement of what he brought to the Phils and Philadelphia. But that wasn't to be.
What's so disappointing is that the Philadelphia Phillies is known to be a class operation, one that is loyal to its employees and respected around baseball. This time they blew it.
The solution might have been to name Sandberg the bench coach and have him do much of what he will now do as interim manager, letting Manuel save face and even help the new guy get ready for leading the team.
Maybe that wouldn't work. But there could have been, should have been, something that would have made Manuel's departure a celebration of who he is and what he's accomplished rather than the unpleasant shock it was.
Maybe the firing will turn out to be the right business and baseball move.
But if this was such a good move then why are so many people angry and sad? Because Manuel deserved better. He'd earned it.
Charlie Manuel leaves with his reputation and popularity intact. The Phillies can't make the same claim.

And earn you a buck a bushel
Oyster shells could be worth more than the change in your pocket if the Oyster Recovery Partnership can talk the political talk.
The nonprofit Partnership, which has planted four billion seed oysters in its work for recovery, is now seeking to persuade legislators to pass a bill giving a $1 tax credit for every bushel of oyster shells you recycle.
Shells are desperately needed to make habitats for new oyster families and the communities they support. Those communities filter millions of gallons of Bay water each day and are vital to a restored Bay.
The Partnership has collected 30,000 bushels of oyster shells in the last three years from restaurants, caterers and seafood wholesalers throughout Maryland, Virginia, D.C. and Delaware.
Now, University of Maryland oyster hatcheries and the Department of Natural Resources can produce and plant two billion oysters in one year. But not for long without more shells.
The proposed tax credit would give restaurants and oyster-eaters more incentive to think twice before tossing empty shells into the trash.
Oysters need all the help we can give them. Once so abundant that their reefs endangered boats, oysters have been reduced to one percent of their historic numbers. Their plight earned them the lowest grade in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's State of the Bay report card: six points out of 100. More shells would help oysters rise to the top of the class.
Go to www.oysterrecovery.org/public-recycling-collection-centers to find a nearby collection site where you can add your shell to the effort.

Carphone Warehouse, O2 to continue to offer 16GB iPhone
Still demand for it
Claims that O2 and Carphone Warehouse have completely sold out of the 16GB iPhone have proved greatly exaggerated. Both today said they would continue to offer the handset.
Gone this morning but back soon
O2 told Register Hardware that it's currently in the process of replenishing stocks of the 16GB iPhone to be sold online. Its high street stores still have the model in stock.
Carphone Warehouse told us that it's reviewing the stock situation for 16GB iPhones sold through its website, but added that its stores now have them in stock.
Both retailers said they are reviewing their stocks of the 8GB model for online and in-store sales, but we got the feeling neither will be rushing to restock shelves with the lowest capacity iPhone anytime soon.
However, both the 8GB and 16GB iPhone models are, of course, available through Apple's website and shops.
Numerous sources have speculated that O2 and Carphone Warehouse were deliberately running down their stocks of both models in order to clear shelf space for the 3G iPhone, which it's rumoured Steve Jobs will unveil at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on 9 June.
But that's a month away, and if there's demand for the current model, why not satisfy it? Both CW and O2 appear to be monitoring demand closely, ensuring they can supply iPhones punters want to buy.

Creating a Non-Toxic Nursery
When you're going to have a baby, your major concerns are their health and safety. You get a solid crib, you research car seats, walkers, swings, and so on. You make sure those products are the best you can get and won't harm the baby in any way. But there's another aspect of a baby's health and safety that many parents don't think about – the toxicity of the materials in their nursery.
Toxic chemicals have now been linked to everything from learning disorders and autism to cancer and infertility. Taking steps to create a non-toxic nursery now could have wide-reaching, long-term and even life-changing benefits.
So, what do you do to ensure your nursery is non-toxic? Here are the basics:
1. Start with the crib mattress. Your baby will spend 12 to 18 hours a day on it. You don't want your baby breathing the potentially toxic chemical fumes that may off-gas from most crib mattresses for 12 to 18 hours a day for the next year or two.
2. Next, ensure your baby's clothes are made with untreated cotton or other natural materials free of chemicals and dyes. Organic is best – even though organic cotton, for example, doesn't have any pesticide residue in it by the time it becomes fabric, there are still other potentially dangerous chemicals that could be used to make the fabric and clothes. Organic products should be free of those other chemicals as well. At the very least, go for 'untreated.'
3. You also want toys that don't contain vinyl and other harmful plastics, same with bottles and nipples. Here's what Debra Lynn Dadd, the Queen of Green, has to say about children's toys: "Most toys sold in major toy stores are made from plastics. Plastic is a major contributor to indoor air pollution, and a roomful of new toys can easily envelop your child in a toxic cloud. Remember that synthetic fibers are plastics, too, so evaluate stuffed animals carefully. While you might not find much that is natural in a toy store, there are many natural cloth and wood toys on the Internet. Many are designed to stimulate baby's imagination and help them learn skills as well as provide amusement."
4. The furniture in the baby's room is another concern – no plywood or other types of building materials containing toxic glues. Instead, choose solid wood, natural finishes. While these more natural products will be more expensive, it is an excellent investment in your child's well being. There are stores that specialize in this kind of product, you can buy unfinished furniture and finish yourself with non-toxic finishes, and can also order them on the Internet.
5. Repainting a room to turn it into the nursery? Watch out for toxic oil-based or water-based latex paint. Instead, get the low- or no-VOC varieties, now available at almost any store that sells paint. Don't paint the room yourself if you are pregnant. Scraping or sanding walls may expose you to lead dust and toxic chemicals, which can be very dangerous to your baby. Ask your husband, family member of a friend to do the painting. Painting should be done at least a month before the baby arrives in the house; you don't want to be painting with a newborn in the house.
6. Flooring and floor coverings can also be toxic. Most carpeting and carpets, for example, are made with synthetics AND treated with other chemicals. Some – not all – new carpeting is toxic. It's probably best to just go with existing flooring rather than installing something new. Just clean it very well. If you have to put down new flooring, Debra Lynn Dadd suggests a hard, natural linoleum. It provides a solid, durable, colorful, attractive surface that is easy to clean.
7. Of course, any cleaning products and deodorizers should also be natural and non-toxic. No synthetic fragrances. If the label on the bottle says 'fragrance', it's synthetic, and toxic. Essential oils used as fragrance are okay.
If there are questions about whether or not a product is safe, Debra Lynn Dadd suggest you use a natural tool – your nose. "If you can smell it, it probably contains something toxic you don't want your baby to breathe (with the exception, of course, of natural fragrances). So rely on your own senses–if it bothers you, it will bother your baby, so don't put it in the nursery."
Your little bundle of joy is the most precious package you will ever hold in your arms. If you protect your baby from harmful chemicals, you'll be taking great strides towards ensuring your child is healthy, happy, and has a good start in life.

This quilt was my recent submission for the Portland Modern Quilt Guild's
at the
in the beginning of July. This was my Quilt Story for the submission of my quilt:
"For over a year I have been obsessed with Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy collection; out of print and hard to find; not my first and not my last obsession.
I have begged, borrowed and swapped with over two dozen online and real life friends to complete the entire collection. I cut into my obsession and created this quilt which I love dearly for all of the beautiful colors, prints and the love I feel when I think of all of the friends that helped me to gather and create it.
I cut into my coveted stash. Have you?"
One of my favorite blocks: Grey Seeds set into Blue Daisy Dots - I had BARELY enough of the grey seeds to complete the two blocks that contain it. I would still LOVE any more of those and the blue seeds that I can get my hands on.
The quilt has a 2.5" ruffle binding around the entire perimeter. The quilt back is Pink Daisy Dots on top and Green posies on bottom with a "label" strip of Kona Snow between them. The "label" reads, "Obsession on Point ~ Pieced and Quilted by Violet Craft ~ June 2011". The label was digitized with Generations Embroidery Software and embroidered on a Janome Memory Craft 300E. You can also see that I left the selvages exposed around the quilt label strip for posterity. It was quilted using a loose free-motion stipple on my Bernina Virtuosa 155.
Special thanks to
and the
. And everyone else who ever let me take their very last smidge of any print I could get my hands on. I am cooking up another quilt with those little smidges! I couldn't have done it without you all!
I love this quilt to pieces and hope it will be with our family for a very long time.
