What is Science?
Descriptive Science and Experimental Science
Scientists may be concerned with describing natural phenomena and they may limit their investigation to describing nature. However, they often wish to explain natural phenomena by a logical process that involves creating and testing hypotheses.
Experimental Science
The "Scientific Method" is a systematic approach to advancing knowledge. There are differences among scientists and among disciplines concerning the details of the method. Many of the steps involved in a typical scientific investigation are discussed below using research published on the peppered moth (Biston betularia).
There are two forms of the peppered moth (Biston betularia) in England- a dark form and a light form. In the early 1800's, the population was almost entirely the light form. During the 1800's the dark form increased in frequency in urban areas. The change occurred at a time when increased pollution from coal fired factories darkened the trees. By 1895, 98% of the moths in Manchester were the dark form.
A hypothesis is an explanation of an observation.
In 1896, J. W. Tutt hypothesized that bird predation was responsible for the increase in abundance of the dark form of the moth. He reasoned that birds had difficulty seeing the dark form on the dark trees; the moths were camouflaged and survived better. In clean areas, the trees were covered with lichens, making the pale form more difficult for birds to see. In the early 1800s, the trees were light and the light form were more difficult to see.
A hypothesis must be testable, and if false, it must be falsifiable.
An experiment is a test of the hypothesis.
Experiments are useful in disproving hypotheses. Hypotheses are not proved. This idea will be discussed later.
To test the bird predation hypothesis, H.B.D. Kettlewell released moths of each type and then measured the number that were later recaptured. The experiment was performed in a polluted area in Birmingham, England and in a clean area in Dorset. The moths were marked with a dot of paint so that he could identify them after they were released and then recaptured.
The bird predation hypothesis (above) predicts that the light form should survive better in the clean area and the dark form should survive better in the polluted area. An estimate of survival can be obtained by using the number of moths recaptured. Obviously, moths that were taken by predators were not recaptured; only survivors were recaptured.
Experimental Design
Scientists often perform experiments by doing some sort of a manipulation. In the example above, one group of mice was given a hormone and the other group was not. The group of mice that was not given the hormone is referred to as a control group. A control serves for comparison. If the average weight of the control mice had been the same as that of the group given the hormone, it would be necessary to conclude that the hormone did not cause a change in growth.
Many experiments are controlled as described above. A controlled experiment is not one in which variables are controlled, it is usually not possible to control all of the factors that may affect the outcome of an experiment. In a controlled experiment, the control group experiences the same environment as the experimental (manipulated) group. If an environmental variable affects the experimental group, it also affects the control group equally. In the example above, the researcher wanted to determine if a hormone caused mice to grow larger. It is possible that the temperature of the room also affected mouse growth. The control mice were kept in the same room as the experimental (hormone) mice. If the mice receiving the hormone were heavier, the weight difference was not due to temperature because the control mice were kept at the same temperature.
Results (Data)
The data are often numbers (measurements, counts, etc.).
The data below agree with the hypothesis. More light colored moths were recaptured in the clean area and more dark moths were recaptured in the polluted area.
Light moths recaptured
Dark moths recaptured
Statistical Testing
Is it possible that the data above could have been due to chance and not really to the effect of bird predation? Statistical analysis allows you to calculate the probability that the data could have come out as they did if there really was no effect of predation.
If the probability that the results could be due to random chance is less than 0.05, we conclude that the difference is real; it is not due to chance. If the probability is greater than 0.05, we conclude that the difference is due to chance.
In the example above, a statistical analysis revealed that it is very unlikely that data could have produced the observed results due to chance.You must accept or reject your hypothesis. In this case, the data suggest that the hypothesis should be accepted. Otherwise, it needs to be modified to account for the data.
Scientists generally do not regard information unless it has been published in a peer-reviewed or refereed journal. Typically, the scientist writes a report on the research and submits it to a journal editor. The editor distributes copies of the article to several peer reviewers that are recognized experts in the field. After reviewing the research, the peer reviewers recommend whether the paper should be published or not.
Junk science has not undergone this peer review process. Politicians, journalists, and others interested in swaying public opinion may mislead the public by presenting junk science as sound science or by presenting it along with sound science.
Do Scientists Prove Hypotheses?
Suppose that a pet store owner observes that the mice in her colony grow slowly. She hypothesizes that they grow slowly because she does not give them enough food. To test this hypothesis, she uses two groups of mice. One group is given more food than they can eat while the other group receives the normal amount.
Suppose that all of the mice in her experiment grow slowly. Her hypothesis that she does not give them enough food must be incorrect. She rejects her hypothesis and decides to test an alternative hypothesis.
An alternative hypothesis is that the mice grow slowly because she does not give them enough water. She tests this hypothesis by giving the mice in one group more water than they can drink and giving the mice in another group the normal amount.
Suppose that mice in the group that received the extra water grow faster. She accepts her hypothesis that lack of water caused the poor growth. She has not proved her hypothesis. Perhaps it is not the water but instead, a mineral in the water that causes faster growth when given in higher amounts.
Science advances by rejecting false hypotheses. In the above experiment, she has not proved that it was the lack of water that caused poor growth. There may be other factors involved that she does not know about.
When a hypothesis is disproved it is rejected and an alternative hypothesis is accepted. However, you cannot be 100% sure that the hypothesis is false. You may reject a hypothesis that is true. Statistical techniques are used to reduce this type of error.
Hypotheses that have been tested by different investigators numerous times and have not been disproved become theory.
Models are often used to describe natural phenomena. Models may be as simple as a diagram or a verbal explanation. Others may involve sophisticated mathematical equations and require computer analysis.
Mathematical models are often developed to explain complex phenomena. For example, a model could be developed to show nitrogen cycling in a montane (mountain) watershed. The model may have many variables and involve mathematical calculations. Complex models are often computerized (computer modeling). Example - climate models are often very sophisticated and require fast computers to analyze.
Mathematical models enable researchers to make predictions. For example, we could ask what will happen to Earth's temperature if carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases by 100 ppm? The solution can be found by entering this number into the model and performing the calculations. The model must reflect what really happens in nature. If the model is not realistic, the predictions will not be accurate.

Scientists are claiming that the public trust doctrine is helpful in maintaining "certain natural resources, including wildlife… who have no owners and therefore belong to all citizens." (In the article, the writer even namedrops Geer v. Connecticut case to backup the point). Although this may not be news to us, the article above discusses an interesting story dealing with the public trust doctrine: a situation where a few states are being bad trustees to the point that the federal government may need to step in. Again.
The gray wolf, once an endangered species that lives in states such as Idaho and Montana, lost its federal protection this past Spring under a Congressional legislative rider. The FWS had attempted to delist the wolf 3 times unsuccessfully before this legislative rider delisted the wolf. Therefore, the federal government was no longer the trustee of the wolf, leaving the state to become the trustee of this species for the people.
The problem is that these few western states really loathe this gray wolf. State politicians are openly hostile toward the species. Hunters, ranchers, and farmers are eager to hunt the gray wolf, which is now overpopulated.
In fact, these states were unhappy that the federal government listed the wolf in the first place, detesting any involvement. The article points out that the state can usually act as a good trustee for its people, but in this case, the state has no desire to prevent the wolf from "lethal management."
I actually lived out west for a few years and was able to hear a few ranchers rant about the wolves, so I understand that much of the state feels that the wolves' overpopulation is now a threat to livestock and other associated things.
However, I echo the concern of the article: if this "lethal management" is allowed, what's to stop the wolves from becoming endangered again? The federal government may have to intervene again in a few years if the state can't be a good trustee. It should be interesting to see how this story plays out, since the debate is fairly heated.

3 Principles for a Sound Clinical and Regulatory Document Strategy for Small Biopharmaceuticals
In 2017, we expect to see continuation of the current trend toward acquisition of new biopharmaceutical products from…
The current approach to clinical trials scientific data management struggles to keep pace with the challenges of faster time to market and the increasing complexity of global studies. Fragmented data sources force users to spend more time searching for and aggregating data to make decisions.
According to a 2013 ISR reports1 study, most pharmaceutical companies and CROs recognize the burden of using multiple data collection and trial technologies. There is a trend toward using more tightly integrated systems that house functionality found in current EDC, ePRO, CTMS and Interactive Voice Response (IVR)—also known as Randomization and Trial Supply Management (RTSM) systems—but only 50% of those surveyed had experience with these systems.
The benefits of integrated eClinical solutions
Integrating a clinical trial's scientific and operational data can decrease the time users spend searching for data, simplify the complex and accelerate time to market by facilitating and improving decision making. eClinical solutions offer these benefits by integrating multiple data streams and simplifying the entire clinical trials process, from study design and data collection to database lock and reporting. eClinical solutions offer the ability to review historic data on site performance, protocol quality, subject recruitment and drug accountability to inform and improve planning for future studies.
To simplify data collection, review and analysis, and incorporation into company processes, an eClinical solution should streamline data integration and accelerate clinical development by:
Effectively deploying an eClinical solution
Deploying an eClinical solution can involve technological challenges, changes in strategy and a need for organizational and/or behavioral changes. Clinical trials are complicated enough without the addition of a new technology that could require modifying workflows and training users.
To effectively deploy and operate an eClinical solution requires access to clinical trial technology and process experts fluent in study design, randomization, trial supply management, clinical data management, clinical outcome assessments (COA) and ePRO, and local regulatory issues.
That expertise should include integration services from existing legacy systems to novel solutions and third-party applications. In addition, experts should be available to support the technology, ideally via a single-point-of-contact help desk for global trials. You can lower the risk in implementing and operating an eClinical solution by working with an experienced clinical trials technology partner to configure, deploy and support the solution.
Enterprise-level benefits
From an enterprise perspective, an eClinical solution simplifies workflow and makes it easy to deploy multiple solutions within a single study or portfolio of trials. With enterprise-level reporting, users can answer key questions regarding the performance of multiple studies, including recruitment progress, country and site activation progress, data management activities and clinical supply chain health status.
Enterprises using eClinical solutions are able to identify risk signals and trends that can lead to faster, proactive interventions by study teams at sites where potential problems are identified. Organizations benefit when implementing eClinical solutions by:
Companies that use eClinical solutions decrease data fragmentation, improve decision making, and gain a significant competitive advantage over their peers by simplifying the journey from new molecular entity or medical device to market. Biopharmaceutical and medical device companies are increasingly recognizing data as a strategic asset.

My name is Hare Ram Mukhiya. My village is in Darbhanga. It is called Ucchhti . It is a small village, not a very big one. In the big map they show on the net, I cannot find the name, but it is my village, where I live, and I have photographs to show for it.
Many, many moons ago, long before I was born, my village had no water running through it. Life was very hard. My village folk had to go miles to collect water, and in the hot, dry, summer months, it was very difficult. The heat was unbearable and there was very little to relieve it. No one knew what to do until one day someone came to our village and asked for water. There was very little water to be had. He saw the plight of the villagers and he decided to do something about it. He found a tree, beneath which stood a small idol of the Devi, the Goddess of the village. Her name was Kamala Devi.
The visitor stood in front of the Devi, and he began to meditate and to pray. He stood there without eating or drinking any water, for seven long summer days and seven long summer nights, before the Devi. Finally, the Devi, Kamala Devi was pleased, and she came to him in a vision and she said, "I will grant you one boon . What shall it be?"
The visitor, who was now a stranger no longer, bowed before her and said, "There is no fresh water in this village. I beg that you will grant a permanent source of fresh water so that the villagers may suffer no more."
The Devi was pleased with this visitor. She blessed him and said, "At the foot of this tree you will find some sacred ash. Take this ash and sprinkle it continuously and wherever you sprinkle it you will find what you seek.
The visitor took the ash and went to the back of the village, where the fields began, and he began to sprinkle the ash. He walked in a long continuous course sprinkling the ash, and lo and behold, all along the course of that ash, water began to appear and the river began to rise.
The next tale I will tell you happened during my life time, and I myself have heard tell of it and I know it to be true.
At the banks of this same Kamala river, lived a Pujari, a holy man who said all the village prayers for us. He took great care of the fish in the Kamala river. He said that they were Lakshmi's nishaan,a sign that Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity lives here. We were warned never to disturb the fish in that area. We could go up and down the river and catch fish, but not there, oh no. The Pujari warned us that all the fish would leave this river, forever, if anybody disturbed them there. None of us dared to flout the Pujari. He was a good man, but who knew what powers he had, and what he would do if he were angry? Also no one wanted the fish to disappear! No one wanted to test if it were true! So we boys, who were quite naughty otherwise, obeyed the Pujari. As a result, the fish grew very, very big, this big even…and bred in that river, and never left the spot. I have seen them, khud,(myself) with my own eyes, swimming about unafraid, enormous creatures with big round eyes. The river always had fish teeming. There was no barricade to keep them there. No cage, no net, nothing, yet they stayed and grew bigger and bigger, and more and more numerous.
There are many stories about that river and those fish. One time, it is said, a Brahmin who had done some penance beside the river, had pleased Kamala Mata, and she came to him and gave him permission to take one fish per day for his consumption. This was all fine until one time, this Brahmin had guests coming to his home, and he got greedy and caught many more fish than the share he was allotted. The very next day when he went to bathe in the river, he slipped and fell and drowned. Everybody believes that this happened because Kamala Devi was angry with him for taking more lives than he needed.
Now this was fine for all the time that I was growing up. No one ever dared disobeyed the rules of the village of Ucchti, but the fame of our River spread far and wide and many people came to see the fish for themselves in this holy spot. Many people were impressed by the number of fish in our part of the river, and the size of them. The Pujari died, and there was no one quite as good to replace him. Finally one day it had to happen. Many people these days do not believe the old tales, and so they do not respect another's ground.
One dark night, when all the village were asleep, a gang of men from the village next to ours, came and stole a whole lot of the biggest fish. This too I know to be true, because a case has been filed against them and is being argued still.
This is bad enough, but there is worse. If you go to that spot and look for the kingly fish who stayed of their own free will, and grew and grew and grew, and crowded that place just around the mandir (temple) you will now see nothing. This too I have seen with my own eyes. Trust has been broken, and hard times follow. Many of us believe the river will not yield the bounty it once possessed. The fish have left that place and do not come again.

Former Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath would have been arrested and questioned regarding allegations of historic child sex abuse, if he were alive today, the national press has reported.
An in-depth police report has concluded that several of the 40+ allegations made against the prime minister, all revolving around child sex abuse, are credible and would warrant Ted Heath being questioned under official police caution if he were alive today.
According to police, at least 7 of the allegations against Mr Heath are deemed as being 'credible', these include the rape of a male child sex worker aged 11 and sexual assault against four other children and two adults.
The police investigation carried out by Wiltshire Police Force, called Operation Conifer, stated that if Edward Heath were alive today, the legal threshold of credible evidence would have been reached and would have justified the arrest and interrogation of the former prime minister.
Edward Heath died at his home in Salisbury in 2005 at the age of 89 years old, however, allegations about his sexual appetite for young boys and children have long existed and can be tracked as far back as his early days an MP. Due to these allegations a two-year inquiry costing over £1.5 million, to the UK taxpayer, was set up to investigate whether any of these allegations had any substance and were credible enough to arrest and question the former MP for Bexley.
While the investigation has concluded with the report stating that some of the allegations were credible against Mr Heath and that if he were alive today he would have been questioned, no further action will be taken as a dead man can not be prosecuted. Instead, the allegations will remain on UK police records with Mr Heath's name being recorded as a suspect.
Wiltshire Police released a statement which said: 'It is important to state that the role of the police in a criminal investigation as to the likely guilt or innocence of a person who is subject to allegations. 'Therefore, the findings in the report published today do not state whether Sir Edward Heath was guilty of any criminal offences or comment on the prospect of a successful prosecution had he been alive today.'
Just like Jimmy Savile, Edward Heath has escaped justice. This news has left many with a sense of outrage and anger and more than a few eyebrows are now being raised at how whispers and allegations can long be heard while culprits are alive, yet it's only in death that the truth finally comes out. It would appear that power can silence even the most sinister of allegations. Maybe it is time that we start holding the government to account and let them know that it's no longer acceptable for paedophiles to escape justice and the truth to air when they're dead, as a society and most importantly for the victims, we need justice while these offenders are still alive.

yum knows nada about contexts, changing component to rpm.
I suspect that the problem is recent changes in the file

typescript of failing install of kernel-2.6.6-1.427....
Sorry... but I've reopened this.
I've attached a script showing an attepmt to 'yum update' that fails
for kernel pkg with a flurry of protection errors when run with an
SELinux/strict/enforcing system. Basically, files installed into
/lib/modules have the wrong context, so mkinitrd fails (as does the
install). Here are a few messages, including the FATAL one from mkinitrd:
WARNING: Couldn't stat
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/build/include/asm-i386/serial.h: Permission
WARNING: Couldn't stat /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/build/mm/Makefile:
Permission denied
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/modules.dep.temp
for writing: Permission denied
/bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
No dep file found for kernel 2.6.6-1.427
mkinitrd failed
Here is an 'ls -lZ' of /lib/modules after the 'install:
[root@dell modules]# ls -lZ
drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:modules_object_t
drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:modules_object_t
drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:modules_object_t
drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:lib_t
Notice that /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427 has type 'lib_t', not
When run in strict/permissive mode, you still get most of the
warnings, but the mkinitrd succeeds. The files have the wrong context
labels, its just that permissive mode allows the process to continue.
My workaround is to only install new kernel packages when running in
permissive mode, and then to manually relabel /boot and /lib/modules
(using 'setfiles').
If the symptom is works in permissive but fails in enforcing,
then the problem is purely one of policy, not rpm.
Apologies for my mistaken guess.
Off to policy-sources for a "fix" ...
Here's an additional comment from Stephen Smalley that may help:

This is because rpm hasn't been updated for the new policy layout, so it
cannot find the file_contexts configuration. Until it is updated, I
have just created a symlink, i.e.
ln -sf /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts

GREAT Food , unique place, it really doesn't matter the travelling journey.
To me, it is really how much you LOVE the food . Like i said, Love is GREATEST! i am glad to be invited to Tien Garden , a Modern Zi Char Style at 351 Changi Road, Lor Marzuki, Singapore, Singapore 419818
Located 5 mins walk from Kembangan MRT Station with car park lots outside the restaurant.
So, it really doesn't matter whether i drive there or take a train there.
Another place that is very affordable, clean and modern, dress code can be smart casual, casual and relaxing 🙂 Just be yourself 🙂
Here, let me introduce the few signature dishes i have tried.
Pumpkin egg Prawns – $20
Crunchy and juicy.
The unique part of bitter gourd is. it is NOT BITTER! Also, just sharing this… people from okinawa eat alot of bitter gourd too. There is lots of health benefits of Bittergourd infact. i believe beautiful skin comes from the food we eat. this is one dish you cannot miss out! it is only $10.
Very cantonese style meefen… have to Wok char taste. this dish is filled with lots of ingredients… it is only $8! it can be shared by 2-3 persons
Top shell with satay sauce- $10 . Pretty interesting dish that is found here.
I love pork ribs too… Especially made, kopi pork ribs… yummy yummy!!! i think i ate almost half the plate! it is very soft, tender and even the soft bone can be eaten. the almond slices is well roasted. i feel it is made with lots of effort 🙂 totally love it! This dish is only $12
if you have been following my blog…you will know that i love Crabs… i thought crab is a very cute creature. they walk horizontally, pretty special and unique to me. 🙂 The shell of the crab is really made in such a way i feel it just make me suck and lick it. very favourful. 🙂 the temptation is really good. i keep telling myself ok… this shall me the 1st one but i ate 1 more! oops! very value for money . $6 for 100g
Promotion time! FREE Desserts if you dine at Tien Garden 🙂
Overall experience was GREAT . i love that this Zi Char place is pretty modern. it is very clean.
The food serve are in very nice white plate . The dessert is pretty healthy. There is no oily yam paste or feeling very stuff or bloated. i felt it is a twist of a comtempory Zi char style yet a modern look.
To be honest, i personally felt that it is like a chinese restaurant found in melbourne. In fact, if you follow my blog long enough, i don't really write or patronise chinese restaurant, pretty much in love with burgers, pizza, pastas, ribs , etc…somehow i must say Tien is an unique place. i am pretty happy with all the dishes and is craving to go back again 🙂
The look and feel is pretty western and nice dressing of a orchid flower on each table and dishes.
This place is recommanded not only for families but also people of my age to drop by and chill , chat and had dinner. 🙂
i also like it when it is pretty straight forward, i don't really need to read the menu. just point to the posters on the wall with the signature dishes. The signature dishes are voted by the people who tried the food there.
Having said so much Let's do it again! 🙂 Try it yourself there too 🙂
Also, Free WIFI is available at the shop too!
Thanks Carol for the pictures and Tien restuarants

Whenever a major organization develops a new system as an official standard for X, the primary result is the widespread adoption of some simpler system as a de facto standard for X.A quick look at some big online companies seems to confirm this:
I was recently talking with Jeff Barr, creator of syndic8 and now Amazon's chief web services evangelist. He let drop an interesting tidbit. Amazon has both SOAP and REST interfaces to their web services, and 85% of their usage is of the REST interface. Despite all of the corporate hype over the SOAP stack, this is pretty compelling evidence that developers like the simpler REST approach. (I know there are many more complex applications where SOAP is better, but I've always liked technologies that have low barriers to entry and grassroots adoption, and simple XML over HTTP approach seems to have that winning combination.)
Finally, we'd like to bid a fond adieu to one of our first developer products, the venerable SOAP Search API. It has been deprecated since 2006, when we stopped accepting new developers for the API, and it's finally hanging up the gloves and retiring on August 31st. It has been steadily declining in usage over the last couple years and we believe that the majority of use cases are sufficiently handled by the more comprehensive AJAX Search API (which supports not only web search, but local, news, images, video, and more). For those interested in migrating, there are more details in the AJAX APIs blog.
Q: Does Yahoo! plan to support SOAP?
Not at this time. We may provide SOAP interfaces in the future, if there is significant demand. We believe REST has a lower barrier to entry, is easier to use than SOAP, and is entirely sufficient for these services.

Only a non-Cong, non-BJP govt can ensure inclusive growth
Instead of subsidising the rich, if such money is used for public investments, we can have a much better 'inclusive' growth trajectory. In this lies the alternative policy direction, writes Sitaram Yechury.columns Updated: Feb 25, 2014 02:25 IST
This afternoon, leaders of 12 parties are meeting responding to the overwhelming urge of our people who are desperately looking for relief from the growing economic burdens that are leading to a sharp decline in people's quality of life. Apart from four Left parties, leaders of eight other regional parties are likely to attend this meeting.
Of these, five are currently running the state governments in some of the most populous parts of our country. Together, these parties represent states that send 313 MPs to the Lok Sabha, out of its total strength of 543. This is significant in terms of electoral potential.
This meeting is taking place on the basis of a clear understanding that this people's yearning for relief can be met only by an alternative policy trajectory. As far as the economic policy direction and corruption are concerned, people see little difference, rightly so, between the BJP and the Congress.
Additionally, the BJP, acting as the political arm of the RSS, continues to sharpen communal polarisation through the pursuit of its hardcore Hindutva agenda.
Thus, any alternative policy trajectory in the country can come about only through a political alternative that will necessarily have to be a non-Congress, non-BJP combination. Given such a possibility of the emergence of a combination of secular opposition parties, the RSS/BJP and its PM aspirant's desperation has reached a new crescendo.
A litany of epithets have been unleashed which should normally be considered unbecoming from anybody, particularly from somebody who self-proclaims — at times threatens — to be India's prime minister.
Some of his comments denouncing the 'third front' as 'third rate' have drawn a spontaneous response that such comments can come only from a 'third rate' mindset!
Sections of India Inc and their mentors, the international finance capital, appear equally worried at the prospect of their apple cart being upset. This is because they see in the RSS/BJP's PM nominee the best hope in a situation where the continuing global economic downturn seems to be intensifying. Such hopes are chillingly similar to the one's global capital had a la Hitlerite fascism in the post-1939 Great Depression in Germany.
A possibility for maximising profits at the expense of heaping increased economic exploitation on the people and the complete abrogation of freedoms and civil liberties by unleashing fascistic repression. Sections of India Inc are hoping for unhindered imposition of neo-liberal reforms accompanied by consequent greater economic burdens on the people.
Fears that such a process may face a roadblock through the emergence of a political alternative of secular parties have now prompted an international credit rating agency, whose name sounds chillingly similar to the RSS/BJP PM hopeful — Moody's — to predict that such an alternative electoral possibility would be a disaster.
This the Indian media has widely reported as 'Third front government may delay economic reforms: Moody's' (February 12). The agency spokesman in India said so in a comment titled, 'Post-election India: A fragmented coalition will be the biggest threat to credit quality'. Need anything further be said?
The corporate media is not far behind in this context. Two days ago, the Left held a Haryana-level people's rally for a political alternative at Hissar. On the same day, AAP held a rally called much after the Left rally announcement at nearby Rohtak. The latter was widely covered by the corporate media while the former was hardly mentioned notwithstanding larger participation.
This is not surprising. Earlier, when Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement was on in the Capital, over two lakh workers organised by the central trade unions had converged at Parliament against corruption and price rise. While the former hogged 24/7 media coverage, the latter hardly found any mention.
Clearly, for the corporate media, a so-called 'morally' upright alternative that does not adversely affect profit maximisation is always better than an alternative that aims at improving people's livelihood while not excessively promoting profit maximisation!
Speaking of Anna Hazare, many find it strange that he has now chosen to be the cheerleader of West Bengal's Trinamool Congress. Sad that someone like Anna, with his 'moral uprightness' and championing of honesty in public affairs, should be seen openly cheering a party whose government in West Bengal has established a record of reducing the state to the rape capital of India and whose government has been admonished by the high court for openly harbouring criminal elements, leave alone corrupt ones.
The mayor and the deputy mayor of the Shimla Municipal Corporation have issued an open letter to Anna on the alleged scams of the Trinamool Congress' main interlocutor with him.
Extremely worried at such an agenda of alternative policies hijacking its hardcore Hindutva agenda, the RSS reportedly is preparing to 'place' around 2,000 of its hardcore cadres, who are 'ideologically dedicated' and 'sound' in the BJP. What is in store for India and its people, in the case of such an eventuality of the RSS/BJP triumphing in 2014 elections, thus, is both the sharpening of communal polarisation and the heaping of economic miseries on the vast mass of our people.
Recently, the Rajya Sabha was informed that nearly Rs 6 lakh crore was the tax foregone, mainly from corporate and income tax, in the calendar year 2013. Such subsidies for the rich, we are told, are given as 'incentives' for growth.
At the same time, even the meagre subsidies for the poor are declared as an unbearable burden on our economy! Despite such tax concessions, our industrial and manufacturing growth, at best, have stagnated. Instead of subsidising the rich thus, if such money is used for public investments, we can have a much better 'inclusive' growth trajectory. In this lies the alternative policy direction.

Codruta Burda, HR Manager World Vision Romania:
After using several classical recruitment procedures and investing considerable efforts, we got to the point where we couldn't find a Financial Director for our organization
Consequently, we decided to collaborate with a head hunting company and, in this view, we started a market screening. From the first call, we felt very warmly welcomed and nice treated by people from Advice Human Resources. The best offer came again from them.
This was the first moment of a year-long collaboration and three executive positions were filled with success.
We are very pleased by this collaboration and we decided to work with this company every time we need to hire a top manager. Our communication with them was very easy; they understood our organizational specific from the beginning and they respected all deadlines and our entire request.
Additional, we started a second market survey regarding a training offer for marketing team. A pleasant surprise came also from Advice Human Resources, who presented to us a very good offer in this field. After the training, our team offered us a feedback: the best training received till now.
Please see current career opportunities, our international reach and ask us to give details.
