The effect of the embargo imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on the Mapusa Urban Co-operative Bank is now not only limited to the bank depositors and shareholders but even customers who visited the bank to pay their electricity and water bills have been affected.
Also, beneficiaries of various government schemes have been affected by the imposition of the embargo.
The embargo directly impacts around 1.20 lakh deposit holders of the bank, around 2.24 lakh shareholders and bank employees who all are not allowed to withdraw money above Rs 1,000 till the embargo period ends. However, apart from them, indirect customers of the bank like the general public visiting the bank for paying their electricity and water bills are also being impacted by the embargo.
The Mapusa Urban Co-operative Bank has a network of 24 branches and one extension counter covering the entire state of Goa and a large number of people have been visiting the bank to pay their electricity and water bills. Sources in the bank said that every week the amount with regard to the payment of bills was collected by the bank and once in a week personnel from the electricity and water departments visited the bank, withdrew the amount and deposited it in their respective department account.
However, following the RBI embargo, these department personnel are now unable to withdraw the amount, which is around Rs 30 lakh, to deposit the same in their respective department accounts. As a result, the customers who have paid their water and electricity bills will face hardships as their paid bills will not be reflected in the respective department accounts.
Similarly, around 8,100 beneficiaries of various government schemes who took benefit of the schemes through their accounts with the Mapusa urban bank will also have to approach the social welfare department and the women and child development department as they will not be able to avail the benefit. Every month, around Rs 1.58 crore pertaining to various government schemes was being disbursed to various beneficiaries through the bank. However, this month, the bank officials have returned the cheque amount back to the government.
Even customers using the Electronic Clearance Service (ECS) will suffer and may be forced to pay either late fees or approach respective institutions for adding another account so that payment does not get affected.

Plantar fasciitis is a dull to severe pain in your heel caused by a strain and inflammation of your plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a scientific name for "foot tissue". This particular tissue is a ligament attached at one side to the heel bone. At the other side, the tissue fans out to attach at the base of each of your five toes. Plantar fasciitis is the name for the condition that develops when that tissue becomes inflamed. When the plantar fascia is excessively stretched, micro-tears can occur, causing this swelling and subsequent pain.
A variety of causes exist for plantar fasciitis. Some of the most common causes include excessive weight load on the foot due to obesity or prolonged standing, mechanical imbalances of the foot, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, sudden increase in body weight (e.g., pregnancy), sudden increase in walking or running, tight calf muscles is a very common cause of the disorder, wearing shoes with poor support, including flip-flops. Another cause of pain is the shortening of the plantar fascia overnight due to the ankle bending, causing the toes to point towards the ground. The plantar fascia stretches in the morning when you stand. The act of lengthening it causes a great deal of pain. However, this is not limited to an overnight occurrence, it can happen any time the foot is flexed (i.e., pointed) for extended periods of time. For example, driving in the car for long periods can cause fasciitis in the right foot, which steps on the accelerator.
The condition typically starts gradually with mild pain at the heel bone often referred to as a stone bruise. You're more likely to feel it after (not during) exercise. The pain classically occurs right after getting up in the morning and after a period of sitting. If you don't treat plantar fasciitis, it may become a chronic condition. You may not be able to keep up your level of activity, and you may develop symptoms of foot, knee, hip and back problems because plantar fasciitis can change the way you walk.
Your doctor may look at your feet and watch the way you stand, walk and exercise. He can also ask you questions about your health history, including illnesses and injuries that you had in your past. The symptoms you have such as the pain location or when does your foot hurts most. Your activity routine such as your job, exercise habits and physical activities preformed. Your doctor may decide to use an X-ray of your foot to detect bones problems. MRI or ultrasound can also be used as further investigation of the foot condition.
Non Surgical Treatment
In the early stages of plantar fasciitis resting the foot may ease the pain. Medication to reduce inflammation should help but should only be used short term. Strapping may temporarily reduce the pain. All of the above therapies are only temporary measures and the pain is likely to reoccur if the cause of the abnormal pressure which has triggered the plantar fasciitis has not been identified. In order to establish the cause of the plantar fasciitis a biomechanical assessment may be required.
Surgical Treatment
When more conservative methods have failed to reduce plantar fasciitis pain, your doctor may suggest extracorporeal shock wave therapy, which is used to treat chronic plantar fasciitis. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing, but may cause bruises, numbness, tingling, swelling, and pain. When all else fails, surgery may be recommended to detach the plantar fascia from the heel bone. Few people need surgery to treat the condition.
Plantar fasciitis can be a nagging problem, which gets worse and more difficult to treat the longer it's present. To prevent plantar fasciitis, run on soft surfaces, keep mileage increases to less than 10 percent per week, and visit a specialty running shop to make sure you're wearing the proper shoes for your foot type and gait. It's also important to stretch the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.

CSS Basics: Data Types Part 1
A CSS data type = a type of CSS value. Some examples:
- color: green
- number: 90
- length: 10px
- images
- gradients
Pixel (px) is an absolute length and does not scale regardless of the size of the browser window.
Percentage (%) is a relative length measured against the element's parent's length.
Em, one em is equal to the font-size value of the parent element. To convert px to em, divide px by parent's font-size.
For example:
<body> <div class="intro"> </div> </body>
body { font-size: 16px; } .intro { font-size: 24px; }
To convert
.intro's px font-size to an em value,
24px is divided by its parent element,
px value. Like so:
Note: there is a compounding effect when nesting elements and using em.
Root em (rem) is similar to em but it is only relative to the root element of the page. The root element is typically the HTML element on a webpage.
So, which one to use?
px is more precise, easier to understand, and predictable while %, em, and rem are more well-suited for designs that need to scale and adapt fluidly across different devices and screen sizes.

Background: John Tyree has come home to Wilmington, North Carolina on furlough after three years of active duty in the Army. He's been spending his days on Wrightsville Beach surfing. One day he meets Savannah, who has come to Wrightsville for a month with a group of college students, who are building a house with Habitat for Humanity. For the next couple of weeks, until it's time for John to return to Germany where he is stationed, John and Savannah spend most of their time together when Savannah isn't working on the Habitat house. After John returns to active duty, they write to each other almost constantly, and count the days until they will see each other again.
John's father lives alone in the modest house in Wilmington where John grew up. John barely remembers his mother; she had left him and his father when John was very young. The two have never had a close relationship, however; John's father has always been quiet and reserved; often spending hours at a time with his extensive coin collection. John had been quite rebellious as a teenager, and joining the Army was a way for him to get away from his father.
The night John came home on leave, his father brought him to the house and cooked spaghetti, as he had done every Friday night of John's life. It was comforting in a way for John to come home to find things pretty much the same at home as they had always been, right down to the daily eggs, bacon, and toast every morning and the spaghetti every Friday night. John's father looked older and more tired, however, and even though the two hadn't seen each other in three years, they couldn't seem to find much to talk about. That was how it always had been.
Now, if I were cooking spaghetti on a Friday night, I would open up a jar of Ragu', maybe brown up a little meat, and call it done. But since this blog is for the most part a weekend project, I decided that the day after Hurricane Irene (a Sunday) was a great day to make my mother-in-law's special pasta sauce. Or "gravy," as she calls it.
First, make the meatballs.
When Grandma makes them, she soaks some bread in milk, and then mixes it with a couple of pounds ground beef along with some chopped fresh parsley, an egg, some salt and pepper. Since mine need to be gluten, dairy, and egg-free, I put about a cup Organ All-Purpose Rice Crumbs in a bowl with a little rice milk to moisten it; then I mixed it in with the ground beef, along with approx. 2 T each of chopped parsley and thyme, and a heaping half tablespoon (which is just about a whole tablespoon, really) of Ener-G Egg Replacer mixed with two tablespoons of water. The meatballs should be about an inch and a half in diameter.My dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free supplies
For the sauce:
1 to 2 lbs meatballs
1 to 2 lbs Italian sausage links (hot or mild. Grandma uses a mixture of both, and cuts the hot ones in half so folks can tell the difference. Me? I go for all hot.)
1 medium onion, diced
2 to 3 cloves finely chopped garlic (For the record, I almost always double or triple the number of garlic cloves my recipe calls for. But you can do whatever you want.)
1 small (6-oz) can tomato paste
1 large (28-oz) can tomato puree
2 large (28-oz) cans tomato sauce
red wine
basil leaves (if fresh, says Grandma. But a dried bay leaf or two will do in a pinch.)
Brown sausage in a large saucepot; remove and set aside. Brown meatballs and remove; drain off most of the fat. (I don't necessarily cook the meat all the way through, because later it will cook in the sauce for several hours.) In the same saucepot, sautee onions and garlic over medium heat until they begin to soften; add the tomato paste and cook for about a minute, stirring frequently. DO NOT BURN.
Fill the tomato paste can with wine; add to the pot and cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Ad puree and bring to a simmer; add sauce and bring to a simmer again. Add salt and pepper to taste; add basil (or bay leaves) if available. Bring to a simmer. Add sausage and meatballs to sauce; bring to a simmer. Cover and turn heat to very low. Keep covered on very low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. It is VERY IMPORTANT to stir the sauce every half hour so that it doesn't burn.
This makes A LOT of sauce. When I make this I'll divide it in two and freeze half of it; the rest we'll have for several nights of dinners. (Spaghetti...lasagna...eggplant parmesan...meatball/sausage subs...even pizza.)
During their brief time together, Savannah meets John's father and visits him several times. Savannah sees something in Mr. Tyree that John has never considered before, and this revelation ultimately helps John to better appreciate and accept his father's awkward quirkiness.
There's also a guy named Tim in this story (maybe we have a little bit of a love triangle?), an autistic boy named Alan, a hotshot named Randy, some horses, and the full moon.
I'll tell you more when I share my recipe for teriyaki grilled chicken!

Before the Indian contingent departed for the Rio 2016 Olympics, a lot of debate took place on where India could finish in the medals tally. There were questions asked about the number of medals it can bring.
Will they match their count from the London Olympics four years ago? Or will India see a dip in the medal count? The way India officials promised a 10-plus medal count raised hopes of fans back home. Even players promised a good show.
But even after three days of the Rio Games, India is yet to open their medal account and hopes of matching the medal count from London look bleak. But this should not ring alarm bells for India or its fans.
India was hoping that on Day 3, when two of it's most experienced shooters, Abhinav Bindra and Gagan Narang come out for their competition, they return with medals and open India's account at the Games. But it was not to be as both shooters failed to finish in the top three spots of the men's 10m air rifle event.
There are still a lot of events in which India can expect to win. Heena Sidhu will be playing her 10m air pistol event on Tuesday while the boxing, wrestling and badminton events are yet to begin. Even Jitu Rai will take aim in the his main 50m air pistol event and is medal hope.

Gouda and brown ale are made for each other. The warmness and full body of brown ale stands well with the spicy Calabrese salame.

For immediate release
Attention: Newsdesk/political correspondents
Following reports from Channel 4 News that at least 30 Conservative Party members of parliament and agents are subject to reports to the Crown Prosecution Service for suspected breaches of electoral law, Alex Salmond has raised a Point of Order in the House of Commons about the impact this could have on the General Election.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Alex Salmond MP said:
"Mr Speaker, have you had any notification of a statement from the Minister of the Cabinet Office or indeed the Prime Minister herself on the Channel 4 report of last evening which suggests that the Crown Prosecution Service has got 30 individuals that they have to report on for possible prosecution between 20th May and the early part of June?
"Given that these include a number of members of this House and all of the implications that could have for reporting of any such decision in terms of coverage or the position of candidates during an election campaign - and given, of course, that it would be a scandal of enormous proportions if any attempt had been made to influence the timing of such reports, provision has surely been made as to how to cope with such an eventuality if it occurs during an election campaign.
"Given that the Prime Minister has decided to reappoint all of the campaign team, who have already been fined by the election commission, responsible for that bourach - we cannot get ourselves into a position that that campaign team up to and including Lynton Crosby having successfully bought one election are allowed to buy another."

As the nation celebrates Presidents' Day, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the traditions that a seated president partakes in.
Inauguration Day
Inauguration Day is held on January 20th, every 4 years, unless that date falls on a Sunday (Polk refused to take oath on the Sabbath leading some to claim that David Rice Atchison actually was president for 24 hours). George Washington gave the shortest inauguration day speech, using only 135 words, in his second inauguration.
Turkey Pardoning on Thanksgiving
While there has been some form of turkey pardoning since Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving an official holiday in 1863, George H.W. Bush was the first president to formally give a Presidential Pardon in 1989. This tradition has been upheld every year since.
The Presidential First Pitch
This tradition started in 1910 by William Taft at a Washington Senators game. Since 1910, every president has thrown at least one opening day first pitch, with the exception of Jimmy Carter. Carter did, however, throw out the first pitch for Game 7 of the 1979 World Series.
State of the Union Entrance
I am sure you have all seen the man come out just before the president and shout, "Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States!" This man is the Sergeant at Arms and is the chief law enforcement officer for the House of Representatives. He is one of 3 people that is able to speak during the State of the Union address (albeit not very long), with the Speaker of the House, who gives a brief introduction of the president, and obviously the president, being the other two.
White House Christmas Tree
In 1929, Lou Henry Hoover "officially" started the tradition of the White House Christmas tree. Since then, each year, the first lady decorates the tree to her liking. In 1961, Jacqueline Kennedy took the tradition one step further and began the tradition of decorating the tree with a "theme." Her theme: A Nutcracker Christmas.

With the latest car shuffle, we are reevaluating our insurance policy. My agent is recommending (I mean, it IS their job) that I get UIM coverage on the Lexus, as it is allegedly worth something. And they are correct that I live in Everett, where the odds of getting hit by someone without insurance is indeed higher than I want to acknowledge.
It is illegal to not have insurance in WA, but that doesn't stop a lot of people.
On the other hand, the car is only worth $7-to-9k, not $35k. And if I experience bodily harm, I have health insurance. I also only drive 2,500 miles a year combined in my personal vehicles.
I don't know, what do you y'all think? Am I crazy for not having UIM right now?

Why is it so difficult to admit we need help? Is it because, we think it means failure? Is it because we want to control the outcome of our works, to protect a very precious idea, or maintain our reputation? Is it because we do not think we are in need of help? What ever the reason, we need help more often than we are comfortable admitting.
Approaching every situation with humility will reveal that you cannot control most things and you do not know everything. It must be present before your greatest potential can be revealed. Humility will open the door of opportunity for the right person to enter your tough situation who can bring change. There is an irony in the fear of losing control, which is, that fear will actually prevent you from stability.
Humility does not mean you are a victim, it means you have an accurate perception on your abilities. Humility is necessary to be honest; honesty is needed to gather accurate information; accurate information is needed in order to arrive at the right place in time. If the information you have gathered is inaccurate, exaggerated, or biased, then you will be detoured or delayed from your desired destination.
Now that you are embarking on a great journey to unknown or uncharted territory, asking for help is not a sign of failure, it is a sign of honesty and humility. If your final destination is greatness, get comfortable with needing help and expect to need much of it if you want to be a part of anything bigger than yourself.

Energy Solutions in Pursuit of a Problem
posted 8 years ago on March 11th, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment
By Benita M. Dodd Georgians are nervously watching petroleum prices climb amid ongoing unrest in oil producer Libya. Under the Gold Dome, legislators are again subjected to the perennial push for home-grown alternatives to fossil fuels. Just this week, German experts took a new tack at the Capitol with a promising presentation on renewable sources of energy and their economic benefits. The temptation is great, but legislators must focus on commonsense policy that promotes cost-effective, clean energy. Germany has made remarkable inroads into renewable energy generation. Renewables have grown from 4 percent to about 10 percent of Germany's energy portfolio over the past decade, German scientist Christine Woerlen told legislators. Not the least of the benefits, according to Woerlen, is… View Article

Quality Price ValueSuper-racy, Haze-like sativa, Eastern Whisper' Kush influence makes this a nice change of pace.
If you're a fan of super-racy, Haze-like sativas, the punch from the Eastern Whisper' Kush influence makes this a nice change of pace.
The 3g bag I wound up with has all the olfactory awesomeness of cracking open a bag of marshmallow flump sweets. I was expecting it to smell like generic pine cleaner mixed with simple syrup, while the CBD had an OG type feel that is more on the earthy end of the spectrum, albeit a similar profile. This iteration is an amplification of the candy traits that each subtly possesses — with a structure that leans heavily on a marshmallow side of flavouring as it were.
As an homage to my yesteryear activities, I decide — against my better judgment — to fire up a blunt before kick off of the usual marathon of The Simpsons box set episodes. Even with the tobacco paper, there's an unmistakable sweetness to the smoke, and it burns evenly and smooth, despite my rusty rolling skills. Still, after four draws I have to snuff it out for later and shift into simpson mode.
Like a banged up QB, my shoulder has been giving me fits lately as I try unsuccessfully to sleep on my back while it recovers from some phantom trauma. The Eastern Whisper is basically an herbal cortisone shot, leaving me ready to high-five with the most annoying of sports fans.
After almost an couple of minutes, it mellowed out — and so did I. Lasting a good couple of hours with an experimental dosage.
If you're new to recreational smoking, avoid taking a sack of uncomfortable home by using to much. Experimental dosage is recommended. Works best with the bong for better effects.

Digital Spy article (UK Pace):
Soap spoilers: Home and Away's Dean Thompson meets his dad, while Ryder considers leaving for good
It's a week of family drama in Summer Bay.
Home and Away fans will see Dean Thompson left bitterly disappointed after he meets his father for the first time.
Next week's episodes see actor Mark Lee take on the role of wealthy Rick Booth, who's always been absent from Dean's life.
After getting a lead to Rick's whereabouts, Dean (Patrick O'Connor) heads to his house and announces himself as Karen Thompson's son.
Rick sheepishly admits that he didn't know Karen was pregnant until after Dean was born, by which time he was married and was expecting another baby. He then reached an understanding with Karen, giving her a house in exchange for staying away.
As the conversation continues, Dean quickly realises that Rick wants nothing to do with him and he ends up being asked to leave the property.
Back home in the Bay later on, Dean takes out a letter that his father once wrote to him and decides to burn it. Is it all over for him and Rick already?
Home and Away airs these scenes on Tuesday, November 20 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

Bethney asked How do use the timer on my boiler setback control?
The control is a Varistat R.D. 601 temperature proportional setback control, the clock is analog. I talked to the manufacturer; they said this model is too old for them to support. The clock controls are not simple like those on an electric lighting timer. Also I would like your opinion on changing the other settings(ratio, etc.) from the defaults. The manufacturer did explain this to me, but I forgot the math. If you need it, I can send a digital image of the device.
And got the following answer:
I'm a homeowner in central NY State who is considering having an outdoor temperature setback control installed to reduce boiler water temperature during warm weather in order to save fuel oil. I have a oil fired 105MBTU hot water boiler with three baseboard heat zones and one indirect hot water heater zone. Boiler water is set at 180 degrees and the indirect hot water heater is set at 130 degrees. The three heating zone thermostats and hot water control are connected to four relays that turn the four circulators on and off as needed. There is no circulator that runs all the time. The boiler turns on and off as needed to maintain 180 degree water. This is not a condensing type boiler. The system works very well, but I believe I could save some money, by maintaining a lower boiler water temperature in the summer. I believe the boiler water temperature would have to be maintained at 140 degrees or above in order to heat the domestic hot water and avoid condensation of flue gas in the boiler and masonary (clay liner) chimney. what do you think? Is this worth exploring? Thanks for your help.

Zopa FC's best loans and signings
Posted on 04 September 2013
by Zopian blogger in Archive
This is a quick and fun post for any of our football fans out there. As we have a few armchair pundits in the office here at Zopa and to coincide with the frantic football transfer deadline day which closed on Monday evening, we thought we would pick the best loan deals from this year's transfer window. With hundreds of millions of pounds moving between clubs to buy players we also wanted to see which players our total lent figure of £366m would enable us to buy if Zopa were a football club funded by our savers.
Let us know if you agree as we are sure that there a number of other players that you may think should have been included.

In addition to working with his young sidekick Bucky, Cap regularly fought alongside other Allied super-powered heroes such as Namor the Sub-Mariner and the android Human Torch, who were the recognized core of the World War II super-team known as the Invaders - a name suggested by English premier Winston Churchill.
Rogers sometimes came into contact with a Canadian paratrooper named Jim Howlett, the man who would come to be known as Wolverine.
Cap's original helmet served as a mask and was separate from the rest of his costume.
With sell-out national tours and five albums to his name, Steve now has his own band, The Rough Diamonds, playing an infectious blend of rock, and rhythm and blues.
Although Rogers and Bucky had seemingly perished, the war still raged on and U. presidents and the government picked different volunteers, such as William Naslund, Jeffrey Mace, and another Steve Rogers, over the years, to keep the morale alive, and even after World War II ended.
Decades later, Rogers' wartime comrade, the Sub-Mariner, stumbled across his still-frozen form, which was being worshiped by a far-flung Inuit tribe.
After successfully becoming Captain America, Rogers was later submitted to an experimental mind-conditioning program that conditioned his mind to accept false information in the chance he was captured by the enemy and forced to reveal classified information.
As part of the conditioning, Rogers believed his real name to be Grant Rogers, that he had a brother, and that due to his parents being diplomats, he had a casual upper class appointment to the Army and Captain America position.

Summer Beauty Tips for Mom
You've got the kids outfitted, loaded with toys and lubed up with sunscreen. Don't forget to take care of yourself this summer. When thinking about this topic I emailed my pal Christie in DC. She's a partner at a prestigious law firm, mom to three girls and a terrific cook. Plus she always looks put together (and you can't hate her...she's simply too cool). Here's how she stays looking great in the heat:
- I start with DDF organic moisturizing sunscreen. It goes on non-greasy and I like that it's zinc based. The chemical formulations burn when I put them on and this one doesn't. $28
- Then, I use the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. I like the oil free version for the summer - especially because it's going on top of the sunscreen. It provides some coverage but nothing heavy. It also has sunscreen - but I've read it's not enough, which is why I combine with step 1.$42
- At night after I wash my face I use Murad Age Spot & Pigment Lightening Gel. It takes about 3 weeks to work - but has definitely faded some of the sunspots I have on my face from not using sunscreen in my teens and 20s. I wait for it to dry a little and then I put my moisturizer on over it. $58
As for me, my skincare routine revolves around Clarins. I've been using these products for years. I use the Clarins Line Prevention Multi-Active Day Lotion SPF 15 and was just introduced to the UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF 40. I contacted Clarins' Skin Spa's to get some flying tips to save my skin. Here were Kara Peterson's ideas:
- Use Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser (I use it and love it!) to remove your make-up and apply Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum.
- Make sure to wear socks. Not only is it comfortable, but it will also help to prevent swelling. The Energizing Emulsion For Tired Legs is also great. Apply this product for a cooling effect by starting and the base of the leg and work the product up to the thigh with firm quick movements to insure you are getting the circulation moving.
- Drink lots of water before, during and after your flight and stay away from dehydrators. If you are still feeling dehydrated and to boost your circulation, book yourself a Clarins Moisture Maximizer body treatment. It will give you something to look forward to if you run into any delays or security problems.
Kara's doesn't have any kids, but I think I can pull off at least some of her suggestions (and I'd love to treat myself to that body treatment!). Caroline Pieper-Vogt's is the Senior VP of Marekting at Clarins and the mother of 4-year-old twins. I checked in to see what another "Clarins Mommy" is up to this summer:
Where are you going this summer? Since my twins are so young, we decided to stay local and do various quick trips to the Hamptons.
Dream vacation: Travelling to Thailand and staying at an Elephant Camp
What item is always in your bag: UV Plus Day Screen SPF 40, insect repellent, and Mustela Wipes All of these items are compact and a must in my bag. I wear spf daily and make sure my children do as well. I love Clarins UV Plus SPF 40 because it is so light and my kids don't complain about wearing it.

Madhya Pradesh takes to green town planning
With weather becoming unpredictable over the years, and natural calamities like storms, floods and droughts happening every now and then, even urban areas are not immune to such disasters. With extreme weather events visiting urban areas more often, cities are being readied to face such calamities.
One way of doing this is by planning and making urban infrastructure resilient to bear natural unforeseen events. Even Madhya Pradesh is gearing up to ensure that floods that have damaged Bhopal and other cities do not bring about the same damaging impacts.
The city of Bhopal: Surrounded by greenery
Talking about disaster management strategies, Dr Asit Kumar Patra, Assistant Director, Disaster Management Institute, Bhopal, said that while earlier these were limited to post disaster response actions, of late, preparedness and prevention has taken more importance. "For example, in earthquake prone areas, quake resistant buildings are being encouraged. Similarly, in cyclone prone areas, advanced warning based on satellite information is shared with people," he said.
Dr Patra said that almost all cities in Madhya Pradesh, like any other part of the country, are vulnerable to climate change induced events. He acknowledged that it was difficult to separately define climate change related disasters. "Gradually, we are incorporating the aspect of climate change while strategising disaster management. We are making our structures and strategies more resilient. We cannot ignore climate change challenges, therefore we should be better geared to face it," Dr Patra said.
Trees are lined up on the banks of Big Lake of Bhopal
Drawing a distinction between rural and urban floods, he said that the latter are largely man made. According to him stagnation of water has become a big problem in bigger cities like Mumbai and Kolkata. "Low lying areas of bigger cities should have a proper plan of evacuation in case of flooding. Excessive rain can flood urban areas as there is obstruction to free flow of water, while in rural areas, the drainage systems are comparatively more functional," he explained.
What also helps strengthen urban areas in terms of climate proofing are how disaster management strategies are incorporated into master plans. Shri Gulshan Bamra, Commissioner-cum-Director, Town & Country Planning, Madhya Pradesh, quoted a tweet from Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, saying that the future master plans for urban areas in Madhya Pradesh would factor-in climate challenges.
Shri Gulshan Bamra, Commissioner-cum-Director, Town & Country Planning, Madhya Pradesh speaking on urban planning
"It is the responsibility of city planners to safeguard the green interests of urban areas. Having worked previously with Environmental Planning & Coordination Organisation (EPCO), and on the Bhoj wetland in Bhopal, I can personally relate to the importance of water bodies and greenery in cities," he said.
For better protection of cities, Shri Bamra called for strict adherence to master plans. "We are now in the process of making the third master plan for Bhopal. We had to shelve one of the proposed master plans in 2006-07 after it was opposed by public on grounds of increased urban density near the lake. We understand that water bodies have a very important place in this city and people are very sensitive about them." Shri Bamra said.
The vigilantism shown by the people of Bhopal has guided the government towards green town planning because of which the city planners have kept in mind not just the conservation of the 40 sq km Upper Lake, but also its 400 sq km catchment area. He said that the entire catchment area of Bhopal Upper Lake has been declared as a no-colonisation zone and the usage of land in the catchment area is limited to agricultural activities. "Construction is a strictly regulated activity in this area of 400 sq km which is spread in Bhopal and neighbouring Sehore district, and also includes a hundred odd villages on its stretch," Shri Bamra said.

Recent developments have diminished the relevance of the Challapata market for the export prices of quinoa. At Mercadero we have therefore decided to discontinue the Challapata price service, following the suggestion of our informants. There are two main reasons for this: both quality and price of quinoa traded at Challapata are no longer representative for exportable quinoa. Below we will explain the new situation.
In the last one and a half year the price of white quinoa at the Challapata Market decreased drastically (Graph). It went down from US$6.24 per kg in January 2014 to US$1.43 per kg on 12 July 2015. However, on the same date, 12 July 2015, producer organisations paid US$ 3.18 per kg organic Quinoa Real, more than double the Challapata price. Whereas producer organisations and private companies have always paid a premium compared to the Challapata price, this difference has now become very big. Acccording to our informants, exporters have stopped to use the Challapata market price as a benchmark.
Important reasons for the decreasing price at Challapata are an oversupply of quinoa from different sources and lower quality of the quinoa sold on the Challapata market. The quinoa now offered to this market is reported to proceed not only from the southern altiplano but also from La Paz, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca and not in the least Peru. For some time, quinoa from the latter origins could earn a higher price at Challapata, where predominantly royal quinoa was traded. But now this practice has totally distorted the market Challapata. The quinoa on the Challapa Market used to be good quality conventional and organic Royal Quinoa. Today it is hard to guarantee product quality, hence prices go down (P. Claver, personal communication, 5 July 2015).
The role of the Challapata market
For many years the Challapata Market has been an important venue where the prices for conventional quinoa are set on a weekly basis. According to Raynolds et al. (2007), up until the 1970s the "Challapata Fair" represented the only commercial path where the farmers could sell their quinoa. However, the increased demand for the quinoa grain has led to the engagement of new players in the market. Each one of these players have different incentives and paying structures (Effel 2012).
At the Challapata market:
- Farmers are paid on the spot;
- Prices are set on the spot;
- Prices are usually lower than what the producer organisations and private firms pay.
Farmers can sell their quinoa to Producer Organisations or to Private Firms, but the "Challapata Fair" was still considered quinoa's "Wall Street" for a long time. At the Challapata Market the quinoa prices are decided weekly and can raise or drop within the day. The Challapata price is determined by supply and demand, and this price used to be the benchmark for most Bolivian exporting companies and associations.

Damn, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders and Nikki Haley announced they will be leaving the administration. The two most down, badass, ride or die women in the administration, possibly the Whitehouse since 1776! I will miss their leadership, honest and straight up attitude. They are both no nonsense and incredibly amazing to watch in action. True patriots and both are a force to be reckoned with. They both command whatever room they inhabit and they easily handle an unruly mob wherever they go. I get the feeling we have not seen the last of these women. True models of professionalism and grit.
Godspeed and God Bless Sarah Huckabee-Sanders
Godspeed and God Bless Nikki Haley

This may mean nothing...
This is Texas, after all.
Maybe TM just feels burned because they went out on a limb for Dan Patrick, and he proceeded to saw it off.
I think TM was trying to get out in front of the parade with that one. They ended up making Patrick their "Bum Steer of the Year" for 2018, mostly, according to TM, because he pushed too hard on the "bathroom bill." What happened was, Patrick was never bigger than his mouth, and he used that mouth to get absolutely nothing through the Lege that he wanted passed, even forcing a special session on the "bathroom bill" that he lost, too. Bob Bullock is the legendary Lt. Gov. of Texas who knew where the bodies were buried and how to make the Lege work; an LBJ clone on the state level, he set the standard for what the Lt. Gov, is supposed to be able to do. Patrick ended up flopping around in Bullock's shoes and suit, all entirely too large for him. TM still couldn't face the fact Patrick was an unreconstructed boob whose previous claim to fame was being a radio shock jock, a Limbaugh/Hannity Mini-Me. Patrick has about that much depth and insight. He's all ideological hat and no political cattle. TM can't even bring itself to point out how Patrick made threats against Texas school districts which were following the law. Granted, some of that was in 2016, and this award is for actions in 2017, but TM put Patrick "in charge" precisely because of stupid stunts like that. Stupid stunts he tried to use again in the legislative session, to about as much effect as they had on the independent school districts which knew the Lt. Gov. had no authority over them whatsoever.
Oops, as our former Governor said.
So maybe TM is putting a finger in the wind and hedging their bets. It's not impossible to imagine a Democrat more interested in governance than ideology winning even a U.S. Senate seat from Texas. I've always maintained Texas sent at least one Senator to Washington because that person was too obnoxious even for Texas (I call this the "Phil Gramm Hypothesis"), and Senator is a choice made by all of us, not just some of us (on the Representative level there are pockets of voters as boorish as Blake Farenthold his own self). But it is possible to be too obnoxious even for Texas to send you to D.C. Or Austin, for that matter (there's a grassroots effort to mobilize school employees across the state to vote against Patrick in the open GOP primary in March, just because of how anti-education he really is.). Business interests finally prevailed last summer in the Lege, and TM is nothing if not interested in Texas bidness.
Or maybe they finally hired a weatherman to tell 'em which way the wind is blowing.

For many adventure gamers, Schizm will be a comfortable fit. It seems more suited to five years ago, when Myst clones were a dime a dozen, when every adventure game dropped you in a desolate world filled with strange technology. But even five years ago, Schizm would have stood out from the crowd. It's more like Sierra's Rama or Rocket Science's Obsidian--it's definitely inspired by Myst, but the puzzles set it apart. Schizm has a thin story, but the puzzles were obviously created by and for people who love a daunting task.
Schizm, like almost every science fiction-themed adventure game since Infocom's Planetfall, takes place on a seemingly abandoned planet. There is technology--organic technology no less--and signs of habitation on Argilus. But there's no life. A science team, sent to study the planet, has disappeared. You control two characters, Sam and Hannah, sent to find out what has happened, both to the science team and the inhabitants. Throughout the game, you switch back and forth between the two characters to solve the strange riddles and contraptions and occasionally switch back and forth between the two to solve individual puzzles.
There's only enough story to thread together some very, very challenging puzzles. Occasionally you'll find a mission log or encounter a ghostly figure, and they'll impart some information. Sometimes it will clue you in to what's going on. Most times it will just give you vague clues as to how to proceed. You'll want to pay attention, because the puzzles in Schizm are very difficult. They are the rare kind of difficult that requires a good deal of logic, note taking, and inspiration to solve. Casual adventure gamers, except those with a propensity for mathematics and engineering, will likely find some of them impossible. But it's a compliment to the design that the difficulty never seems out of place. You are, after all, trying to comprehend alien technology, and so long as you can believe aliens would protect that technology with a series of puzzles (as opposed to, say, with a key) then the difficulty of the puzzles makes perfect sense.
The puzzles are difficult because, in most cases, you will need to be working at several levels at once. You will need to decode cryptic diagrams and learn to work complex machines with all the significant figures and symbols in an alien language. You will need to make mathematical and geometrical calculations. One puzzle requires you to listen to and memorize a group of alien words and the symbols that match them, then, later, listen to a ghostly figure shout at you in his native language, and then match the sequence he tells you on a prayer wheel-like device. It's a strange puzzle and one of the most challenging in the game--the apparition will only speak to you once, and the many steps you need to take to solve the puzzle can be overwhelming.
Most of the puzzles follow this formula: You must find the key that decodes a specific gadget and then use the information from the key to get the gadget working. If there's any complaint about the puzzles in Schizm, it's not that they are too difficult, but that they are too similar. Once you figure out a few, you'll know what you generally need to do for the others. They will still be difficult, but a bit of the groundwork will be obvious.
There are more puzzles in the DVD-ROM version of the game. The DVD-ROM version also looks much better than the CD-ROM version, which is ugly at times, with huge blocks of color filling the screen. The problems are most notable in darker areas. The scenery and design are good looking, if a bit generic--all big floating islands, dirigibles, and underground caverns. It's strange when an alien world feels familiar because you've been to a few just like it.
The apparitions appear as video sequences over the prerendered backgrounds, and the video looks decent but is not well integrated with the game. The acting makes the video look worse. In one of the first mission logs you find, the person is so clearly reading her lines that it's a bit ridiculous. It's as if the designers used audition tapes for the actual game. The voices are no better, and occasionally the person speaking is quite obviously not the person you are watching. The music is a bit better and somewhat reminiscent of John Carpenter's electronic soundtracks.
Schizm is unlike most adventure games. The puzzles make sense, after a good deal of brain gymnastics, and yet they are difficult. It's nothing but a series of locked-door puzzles, and yet in most cases the puzzles are well thought out, original, and interesting. Many will find the game very difficult, as they did the aforementioned Rama and Obsidian, and the lack of a story means the game is all about the puzzles. But they are good, and so those who like a challenge, or miss the days of the Myst clone, will find much to like in Schizm. It goes through the motions with confidence.

the dresses are multiplying
I'm set for my actual wedding dress, but seeing how it's long, hot, and our wedding day seems like it's going to be in the 80s+, I wanted something shorter and cooler for dancing.
Excuse the mess..we just moved in and this is my wedding dumping ground. Also ignore my weird faces. And the multiple shoe and hat changes, unless you'd also like to comment on those!
Option 1 is a short j.crew dress I found at a thrift store. It isn't exactly the right size (it's a 4, I'm a 2p in their sizes), but it was cheap (really cheap) and I could hem up the shoulders a tiny bit to make it work. I bought it to wear to an event that required white attire, but didn't end up wearing it. It's kind of boring, but also fairly flattering (i think).
Option 2 is a Katie Jean dress I had custom made on etsy with the idea that I could wear it both at the reception and then take it with me on my honeymoon and that kind of thing. In theory I love the ruffles. I love that it's fun. The thing is that it feels too big on me and I have no idea how I'd take it in myself. I feel like the ruffles make me look very..round? More pictures of this one because i feel like the different angles make a difference in how much i like it...
PS-I would like to add that my dress total still falls under the $600 range for all three dresses combined.

dress 1 is more flattering, but dress 2 is more fun... hmm... and good job with the thrift store J. Crew!

Take them both to the tailor, should be under $50 to take them both in professionally. Then see where you are at. I'd go with #2 myself.
- August 29, 2008 at 12:26 PM
ruffles!!! fun, cute, looks great. anyone in your circle know someone who can sew? otherwise just go to a tailor - i imagine you just need it taken in at the waist & maybe straps - not much. it won't cost a lot especially since it's not a wedding dress, per se.

Wow, I LOVE the Katie Jean dress on you!! I don't think it makes you look round at all. The ruffles are so much fun, esp. with the cowboy boots.
- September 1, 2008 at 6:05 PM
ruffles and boots hands down, no ifs ands or bugs about it. that whole "flattering" issue is dumb when you have a nice figure like yours. go for fun, unique and different. You dont have anything to prove about weight or shape. (nobody does, really.) go for it!

where did you get your shoes?

jen- the cowboy boots are from zappos. The red shoes are from anthropologie.

Why Coat Extensions Should Be On Your Must-Have List For Winter!
Coat extensions are a relatively new phenomenon that has gained in popularity over the past few years. When you ask most mothers of tweens how they had survived pregnancy through the cold winter you will likely hear that they wore their husband's oversized coat or suffered the chill with an open jacket. Times have changed and there is now a much better alternative for expectant mothers.
A coat extension is typically an insulated panel that can be attached straight into your own winter coat between the zippers so as to create more room for your growing belly. Co-founders of the Canadian startup Bridge the Bump understand the need for this type of accessory all too well which is why they created a multi-purpose customizable coat extension that can be worn not only during pregnancy but also for babywearing. These are the top five reasons why coat extensions need to be on your must-have list for winter:
- Baby It's Cold Outside: Of course one of the top reasons to use a coat extension is to keep warm! When the wind is gusting and temperatures are well below freezing you will be thankful that your coat can fully zip to your chin. Bridge the Bump coat extensions are windproof and water-repellent, with premium quality insulation to keep you toasty all winter.
- Keep Your Sense of Style: Why settle for your partner's oversized coat when you have a perfectly beautiful one you already love? Being pregnant doesn't have to mean giving up your style. Bridge the Bump coat extensions come in various lengths and colours to maximize your options.
- Cost-effective: Compared to 2-in-1 maternity coat systems that include both the full coat plus a removable extension panel, coat extensions are a much more affordable option. To justify the expense of a 2-in-1 system you would have to continue wearing the coat on its own post-pregnancy and let's face it, most of us would prefer the coat we already own and love.
- Great Accessory for Babywearing: Many coat extensions allow enough room to wear over a baby in a dedicated carrier which means you might very well be using your extension for two full winters. No need to bundle up baby for the outdoors – your own body heat will keep her close and warm.
- Not Just for Moms! We can't forget about Dads who also love to babywear. Bridge the Bump coat extensions can be easily swapped between Mom and Dad with a simple zipper adapter so that you can both share in the cuddles on your next holiday stroll.

From the advertised details, I was interested in the Chalet Bungalow type houses but I was unsure whether I should be looking at those at the Shops end of the Avenue , or the "Dutch" type at what was to become the entrance to Cowper Crescent. Nevertheless, I stood by the telephone on the designated day, and at precisely 9 o'clock I dialed for the first time but the line was continuously engaged. When at midday, I at last got through, I was told that all the houses were sold; and that people had queued outside all night, in such numbers, that they were forced to let them into the Office when it opened. My name was taken and put on a reserve list, in case any of the successful applicants subsequently dropped out. In the event, one property did become available and I was offered a house of the style we wanted. It was a corner plot with a chunk of extra land for an extra £75. And it was the very one we had chosen from the plans as being the most desirable.
Later, we watched as foundations laid along Cowper Crescent, slowly grew into recognisable dwellings and, just before Christmas, we moved in to number 49. From the road, two narrow strips of concrete led up to the house and either side was a soggy mass of mud. The Removals Van, reversed with only one wheel on the driveway. The other sank deep into the mud and had to be towed out when it had unloaded. These conditions continued well into the new year; but gradually residents got their properties in order, the pavement and roadway was cleaned up and gardens arose on the chaotic detritus of a building site. It was useful having the Leach Office manned by a Foreman who could deal with problems as they arose; and deal with them on an informal basis. Our Boiler had a fault and the resident plumber came along and fixed it by exchanging a faulty part with one taken from the boiler in an as yet unoccupied house further up the road!

Legal sports betting began this week in Delaware, where in-person, casino-based gambling is now available.
Yesterday, the NJ senate approved a regulation to allow casino and online sports gambling. The bill is just waiting to be signed into law my Governor Phil Murphy, who today said he won't sit on it for too long. From NJ.com:
"I want sports betting," Murphy said during a news conference in New Brunswick. "Believe me a I want to place the first bet in New Jersey if I can. But we want to make sure we do it right. We just got the bill. We're going through it, and we're not gonna sit on it.
Asked if he will take the entire 45 days he has to take action on the bill, Murphy said: "I sure as heck would hope not."
The remarks come a day after both houses of the state Legislature voted overwhelmingly to pass the bill, which would regulate and tax such wagering online and in person at the Garden State's casinos and racetracks.
It's unclear why he appears to be stalling, but sports betting is coming to New Jersey very, very soon, likely within just days.
With Pennsylvania perhaps next up to legalize sports betting, Philly is at the MF-ing epicenter of this movement. We're putting together a series of pages showing where, when and how you can bet in each of the three states. Thanks to our friend Mike Lyon, a local attorney, who has helped us put together both the legal sports betting overview and the New Jersey sports betting page. We also have one for Delaware, and a how-to bet on sports guide for beginners.
You can check out each of those pages here:

The eternal question "does size matter" always gets a strange perspective when you compare storage size, processor speed and the raw size of the plastic or metal case of the device. Apple just released the newest version of their phone software (iPhone 2.1) and while watching the 231 MB update slowly download over my 6 MBit DSL I made a quick calculation how many of the "big" 1.4 MB floppy disks I would have needed in 1991 to update my cell phone. Update my phone? Who would update a diswasher, a microwave, let a lone a phone? May be repaint the black phone pink but update? It's not a phone it's a computer and it crashes, needs lots of power and continuous updates. Consider it an improvement.
Anyone who has ever fed some 20 of these plastic things into the slot of the drive just to install a word processor knows how it feels when after 147 disks the update process stalls and you have to reboot. Next time you - correctly - think that the iPhone backup is way to slow (apparently fixed in new release), meditate on the floppy disks. How about 32 GB Compact Flash for $299 (MSRP, Oct. 2008). Sounds like a lot? A box of 1.4 MB floppy disks initially sold for up to $100.
UPDATE: (Nov 2014): 32GB USB: $15 (AMZN) 64GB: $28.50 1TB (1024GB): $915
There's always a next release and always a smaller storage device that holds more data. Based on reader requests: "Why is there an image of a telephone and not a floppy disk" and my response "I like phones", I'm also including an image of a 3.5" floppy disk courtesy of Wikipedia.
