API Gateways and Lambda
In this tutorial, we'll use Pulumi to create a serverless app that serves static content, in addition to dynamic routes in AWS Lambda. We'll do this with 5 lines of JavaScript, a few lines of configuration, and whatever static content we wish to serve (in this case, a simple HTML page and a favicon). After seeing this in action, we'll build on these basic concepts to explore additional containers, serverless, and infrastructure tutorials.
Initialize the project
Let's use the Pulumi CLI to initialize a new project:
$ mkdir ahoy-pulumi && cd ahoy-pulumi
$ pulumi new hello-aws-javascript
You can accept the defaults for this command. For instance, you can change the AWS region to
After some dependency installations from NPM, you'll see a few files have been generated from this initialization process.
Let's look at some of those.
Pulumi.yamldefines the project.
Pulumi.ahoy-pulumi-dev.yamlis the configuration file for the stack we initialized.
wwwcontains our sample static content.
- The key file for defining our stack resources
index.jsso let's examine that.
Define stack resources
Normally, we'd write some code to define resources for our cloud stack, but in the quickstart this work is done for us. This is the content of
const pulumi = require("@pulumi/pulumi");
const aws = require("@pulumi/aws");
const awsx = require("@pulumi/awsx");
// Create a public HTTP endpoint (using AWS APIGateway)
const endpoint = new awsx.apigateway.API("hello", {
routes: [
// Serve static files from the `www` folder (using AWS S3)
path: "/",
localPath: "www",
// Serve a simple REST API on `GET /name` (using AWS Lambda)
path: "/source",
method: "GET",
eventHandler: (req, ctx, cb) => {
cb(undefined, {
statusCode: 200,
body: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify({ name: "AWS" }), "utf8").toString("base64"),
isBase64Encoded: true,
headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
// Export the public URL for the HTTP service
exports.url = endpoint.url;
See the reference documentation for details on the APIs we're using.
Deploy the stack
The stack is ready to deploy, which is done as follows:
$ pulumi up
This command instructs Pulumi to determine the resources needed to create the stack. First, a preview is shown of the changes that will be made:
yes will create resources in AWS. This may take a minute or two.
Since there was a stack export (via
exports.url in the code), this is printed in the output of
pulumi up. We can easily
curl this URL via
pulumi stack output:
$ curl $(pulumi stack output url)
For a more interesting view that shows the result of calling a Lambda function, open the page in a browser:
Manage the stack
Our output also contained a permalink to the Pulumi dashboard. We can review the stack in the UI, and examine logs and resource usage, along with inviting friends and co-workers to collaborate on stacks.
Tear Down
To destroy resources, run the following:
$ pulumi destroy
Once confirmed, Pulumi will remove all of the resources you've created. The stack itself is preserved in the Pulumi dashboard and is ready to go again as needed.
In this example we've seen:
- How Pulumi makes the definition of cloud resources and stacks a highly productive, code-driven activity.
- How the Pulumi CLI can initialize, configure, deploy, and manage cloud stacks.
- How the Pulumi dashboard can log, monitor, and manage information about a cloud stack.
Next Steps
From here, you can dive deeper:
- Try out additional AWS tutorials:
- Containers: Create a load-balanced, hosted NGINX container service
- Infrastructure: Create an EC2-based WebServer and associated infrastructure
- Try out some multi-cloud serverless and container tutorials (that also run on AWS):
- Multi-cloud Serverless with Document Database: Create multi-cloud serverless REST APIs that use a document database
- Multi-cloud Serverless plus Containers: Create a multi-cloud video thumbnail app that uses containers, serverless, and infrastructure together

Flora, Fauna, Fashion and 'A Lady with a Unicorn'
Cincinnati Art Museum
From a rare Raphael to the great masters of fashion, from exquisite nature photography to art-inspired floral displays, it's one of the more diverse fall seasons in memory at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
The diva is a mysterious blond-haired, blue-eyed early Renaissance woman making her first trip to the New World. The single painting exhibit, "Sublime Beauty: Raphael's Portrait of a Lady with a Unicorn" (October 3-January 3) epitomizes Raphael's excellence in female portraiture during his Florentine period. And it's a rare trip outside of Italy for the work.
"The painting has been lent to European exhibitions, but this is the first time it's coming to the United States," says Anne Buening, coordinating curator for the exhibition. "We are very excited we are the first U.S. venue to show this painting."
The portrait is clearly influenced by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Buening says Raphael knew Da Vinci, had seen the Mona Lisa and had done studies of how she was placed in the portrait. There is no record of the woman's identity, but it is obviously a wedding portrait of a noblewoman based on her clothing and jewelry. (There is speculation she was related to the notorious Lucrezia Borgia, with her similar fair features).
"Raphael was trying to adapt the format of the Mona Lisa into his form of portraiture," Buening says. "He was trying to appeal to the noble families of Italy."
The real detective story is that the painting wasn't "discovered" until the late 1930s. Sometime in the late 17th century, Raphael's portrait was painted over to resemble the popular saint, Catherine of Alexandria, with the lady given a heavy cloak covering the "indecent" bare shoulders of the original.
For years scholars argued over the painting before it was confirmed to be a Raphael. "Many pointed out that St. Catherine had a Raphael face, similar to the face of the Madonnas he had done,"
Buening says. "Finally, new X-ray technology was used in the '30s and it was realized there was a painting underneath. In 1936 the decision was made to take off the overpainting."
What had been St. Catherine's symbol of a spiked wheel was revealed to actually be painted over a unicorn, known as a symbol of purity. And the mystery goes a little deeper since there is only speculation as to the woman's identity. In 1959, further X-rays revealed Raphael had originally painted the woman holding a dog, which he replaced with a unicorn. Buening says art historians think that the woman's family had broken several marriage contracts by the time Raphael was well into working on the painting, so perhaps he thought a dog – a symbol of loyalty would not be appropriate.
In addition to the painting's fascinating history, the lady herself certainly has her own Mona Lisa aura.
"She is a very striking figure, very self-possessed. She stares out at you from the picture. There is a strong personality there," Buening says. "And when you hear the history, there is a lot happening in this little painting."
Buening credits Esther Bell, the museum's former curator of European paintings, drawings and sculpture for laying the groundwork to bring the painting to Cincinnati. Bell left for a similar position at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, of which the Legion of Honor will be the only other U.S. stop for the Raphael work.
"The Italian Ministry of Culture and the Foundation for Italian Art & Culture have been taking steps to promote Italian art in other countries," Buening says. "They have been doing more single painting loans as a way to bring attention to lesser known Italian paintings."
Other fall exhibits at the museum include:
Field Guide: Photographs by Jochen Lempert (Oct. 17-March 6) is the first major U.S. museum exhibit devoted to the German photographer. Lempert is a biologist turned photographer, bringing a scientific sensibility to his poetic appreciation of plants, animals and other natural beauty. Lempert has been praised for an observational eye that brings new splendor and meaning to what can be at first glance be simple photos – of a bug, a pigeon or a flower, for example.
Lempert visited Cincinnati in May 2015 and made photographs at the Cincinnati Zoo, the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History & Science and in our city's parks.
High Style: Twentieth-Century Masterworks from the Brooklyn Museum Costume Collection (Nov. 7-Jan. 24) explores the notion that fashion is indeed art.
Over the years, the Brooklyn Museum's Department of Costumes and Textiles became one of the most important centers for the study of fashion. As a result, its holdings are rich in clothing by American designers and the great French couturiers. This exhibit, on tour from the Brooklyn collection, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, traces the evolution of 20th century fashion design through gowns, dresses and accessories. One can see how the fashions worn by American women reflect the nation's tastes and mores between 1910 and 1980, including influential designs from Chanel, Givenchy, Dior and Charles James.
Additional attention is given to the pioneering generation of American women designers working in the 1930s through the 1950s, such as Bonnie Cashin, Elizabeth Hawes and Claire McCardell, and their male counterparts, including Norman Norell, Mainbocher and Gilbert Adrian. A significant selection of the sculptural gowns of British-born American designer, Charles James is a highlight and accompanied by animations that illuminate his construction techniques.
The eighth edition of Art in Bloom (Oct. 22-25) again will display the works of regional floral designers interpreting works from the museum's permanent art collection. A committee selects the paintings to be used to inspire the floral artisans.
The biennial event features 70 vibrant displays from local garden clubs, professional designers, groups and individuals. The previous exhibitions brought almost 14,000 people to the museum for the event. Over four days, the public can participate in docent-led tours, special events, family-friendly activities, plus conversations and demonstrations by the arrangers.

Chris Philpott is some kind of genius. He has done something I would never have predicted – namely bringing a new twist to the classic cut and restored rope trick. There have been all sorts of variations on the cut and restored rope – and I, like many, think that it is hard to beat rope magic for visual appeal. So what's The End of my Rope trick all about, and is it any good?
The effect
This is really simple to describe. You coil a long rope in your hands, invite a spectator to cut right through all the loops and then instantly throw the rope out again and it is restored! It really is that clean.
What do you get?
You receive a DVD with around 100 minutes of teaching on it. You can also sign up via email to receive a ropes through the neck variation, and additional presentation ideas.
The teaching is clear – for me, if anything, there is a bit too much of it. I believe Chris Philpott is a screenwriter for his day-job – and this somehow shows in the way the DVD has been put together. I enjoy his style which is engaging, but it does seem to go on just a little too long since the basic method is very straightforward.
Variations on a theme
Chris teaches several variations on the basic effect – mainly involving different materials – for example rope, string, paper streamers, a pearl necklace (!) etc.
Leeman Parker – a magician I haven't heard of in the UK but I suspect is better known in the US – then teaches his own developments on the routine. These are really nice. They require a much more involved setup – but that enables an even cleaner routine. If you're prepared to go to the trouble of making it up, you really will have an astonishing piece of visual magic. Parker's teaching is even clearer and easier to follow than that of Chris. Their interaction is also fun.
He also explores some other variations including a completely impromptu version and a 'slow motion' version.
As if all that wasn't enough, Chris then explores applying something of the methodology to the Ring on String effect. This is more of an exploration of ideas than a routine, but he demonstrates 3 handling variations which you could include in an existing Ring on String routine.
The final word?
There is something very clean looking about this effect and somehow cutting through multiple strands seems to make the effect exponentially more powerful than a single rope, and the throwing out restoration adds drama. The method is simplicity itself – so don't buy this if you're only interested in exciting new principles – but if you want a solid effect which is pretty easy to do, this is definitely worth a look.
The end of my rope trick is available at Merchant of Magic for £34.99 (at the time of writing).
For a treat, I found this clip of 'David and Leeman' presenting their version of The End of My Rope trick on Penn and Teller. It didn't fool them, but it is great fun!

Want to master your energy?
As Einstein taught us,
"Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another."
Dr. Elizabeth Celi
Life & Leadership Coach, Filmmaker
Einstein brought us energy as e=mc2, the speed of light.
Tesla brought us energy as smooth flowing AC electricity...and wireless!
Imagine over-riding the overwhelm in your mind so you more easily tune in to your gut feeling beneath it.
Imagine smoothly improving your circumstances in wise ways.
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
Albert Einstein
What do I mean by tuning into the frequency of your gut feeling?
- It's when your parents say something they know triggers you off because it gets a rise out of you.
- It's when you sense your sister is manipulating you but her words say otherwise.
- It's when your colleague talks the talk of team player but goes and does stuff behind your back.
Along the way, their unresolved stuff triggered your emotional "hot button". Here's the catch 22, your practical intuition helped alert you to that "hot button" ... but that "hot button" is also the static making it hard to hear the solution your practical intuition offers.
How do we break through that static, override the noise and overwhelm of the "hot button" and gets to the solution that's right for you?
Side note: It may interest you to know that tuning in to your practical intuition (and therefore mastering your subtle energy bodies) has a bigger picture going on behind it.
It opens a window to connecting with Universal Law, or as the mystics of history would say, Universal Lore. Read more here.
Consider the alternative of NOT uncovering the message of your gut feelings and practical intuition.
When those "hot buttons" trigger you into emotional storms or energy hurricanes, not only is that a lot of energy to get your head around, you're also trying to deal with the overwhelm when it's difficult to see the trees from the forest.
As Einstein taught us, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
So let's break the broken-record pattern that is keeping you overwhelmed and stuck.
Find out more about your Akashic Record Reading here.
My experience with the Akashic record reading was beyond words I can put in the English language. It was someone reading back to me the last 28 years of my life without knowing me and helping me realign my life and soul to its highest purpose. Ever since my reading & clearing I have learnt many things about myself at my core which is allowing me to live my life in a manner I have only imagined, but I have now put into practice. Thank you Elizabeth.
I look forward to supporting you in mastering your gut feelings and becoming an adept with your practical intuition.
Here's to your Wisdom living,

Anthony Gormley
From DocuWiki
[edit] General Information
Arts Documentary published by Illuminationsmedia broadcasted as part of TheEYE series in 2005 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
An internationally acclaimed artist, Antony Gormley is best known for his monumental sculpture Angel of the North. This earth-bound figure with its massive wings shares with all of Gormley's work a preoccupation both with the human form and with our shared spiritual potential.
Antony Gormley's early lead and iron figures were cast from his own body. They demand a physical and emotional response, but they also raise profound philosophical questions about memory, the mind and our senses. Some of his sculptures, such as the tiny sleeping figure modelled on his infant daughter Still IV, are intensely private. Other works, like Field and Allotment II, are sweeping social and architectural explorations on a grand scale.
Many of Antony Gormley's most significant works are illustrated in this film profile, including Bed, made from hundreds of loaves of sliced white bread, and the spectacular Quantum Cloud created alongside the Millennium Dome in London. Antony Gormley offers a reflective commentary on these and other works and on the central investigations and imperatives of his art.

Game 4 'pen usage a balancing act for Tito
TORONTO -- Bryan Shaw grabbed the bouncing baseball with his bare right hand, turned his head to find first base and felt he had plenty of time. Where the Indians reliever went wrong was regaining his balance, as evidenced by the ball that was soon bouncing into foul ground down the right-field line.
Throughout this American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays, and in the postseason as a whole, Cleveland had been fundamentally sound and powered by its bullpen. In a 5-1 loss in Game 4 on Tuesday, both elements escaped the Tribe and delayed the Indians' opportunity to punch their ticket to the World Series for the first time in nearly two decades.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- Bryan Shaw grabbed the bouncing baseball with his bare right hand, turned his head to find first base and felt he had plenty of time. Where the Indians reliever went wrong was regaining his balance, as evidenced by the ball that was soon bouncing into foul ground down the right-field line.
Throughout this American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays, and in the postseason as a whole, Cleveland had been fundamentally sound and powered by its bullpen. In a 5-1 loss in Game 4 on Tuesday, both elements escaped the Tribe and delayed the Indians' opportunity to punch their ticket to the World Series for the first time in nearly two decades.View Full Game Coverage
• ALCS Game 5: Today at 4 p.m. ET on TBS/Sportsnet/RDS
"I just rushed it," said Shaw, whose back was against a wall outside the visitors' clubhouse at Rogers Centre, as he explained what happened on his game-changing error in the seventh inning.
:: ALCS: Blue Jays vs. Indians coverage ::
The good news for the Indians is that it is still the Blue Jays who have their backs against the wall in this best-of-seven series.
The 2004 Red Sox, who were managed by current Indians manager Terry Francona, are the only team to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. To eliminate the Tribe, Toronto needs to win four games in row. As it happens, Cleveland was the only team in the Majors this season not to have a four-game losing streak. This loss was the first for the Indians since Sept. 28, snapping a nine-game winning streak (six in the playoffs).
That is why the defeat -- while certainly carrying some sting -- was mostly met with shrugs inside the Tribe's clubhouse.
"We're one win away from the World Series," Indians ace Corey Kluber said. "That's what we're focused on."
Due to the unexpected bullpen game that developed in Game 3 on Monday night, Kluber started on three days' rest on Tuesday. When Cleveland's offense struggled to solve Toronto right-hander Aaron Sanchez, and the Blue Jays' lineup grabbed a lead off Kluber, Francona opted to pull the plug on his ace's effort after five innings and 89 pitches. After all, if by chance the ALCS extends to a Game 7, Kluber will be given the ball again.
Video: ALCS Gm4: Kluber fans seven over five frames
The Indians' bullpen -- led by relief ace Andrew Miller, who has 20 strikeouts in nine innings this October -- has been a game-shortening force so far in the playoffs. Under Tuesday's circumstances, Francona's task was balancing keeping the score close, while keeping his main relief weapons fresh for a Game 5 on Wednesday that will feature wide-eyed rookie starter Ryan Merritt.
Along those lines, Francona succeeded. Neither Miller nor Cody Allen appeared in the loss.
"Tito knows what he's doing," Indians catcher Roberto Perez said. "He's been in this situation before. He's good. He's got experience. He's done such a good job, handling the pitchers, bringing them in. It was good, even though we lost, it was good to get the other guys in."
Entering Tuesday's loss, the Indians' relief corps had posted a 1.46 ERA in the postseason with 35 strikeouts and five walks in 24 2/3 innings, including 8 1/3 after Trevor Bauer exited Monday's game due to injury in the first. This time around, the bullpen allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits with two walks and one strikeout. A 2-1 deficit through six innings turned into a 4-1 Blue Jays lead by the seventh, and a 5-1 Toronto advantage when it was all said and done.
The breaking point arrived in the seventh, when Shaw allowed a leadoff single to Ryan Goins and then faced Jose Bautista. The slugger tapped a pitch to the right side of the mound and Shaw scrambled off the hill in pursuit of the ball. On the third bounce, the right-hander plucked the ball from the air and, leaning on his back foot, threw the ball well beyond the reach of first baseman Mike Napoli.

"I should've had him all the way," Shaw said. "Had I planted my foot and made a better throw, he would've been out. It wasn't too tough a play. I got over there, I got the ball, I just opened up too much and spun and threw it away."
• Return to defensive excellence key for Tribe
With runners on the corners and no one out, Francona elected to issue an intentional walk to Josh Donaldson, who launched a home run in the third inning.
"I went through every scenario in my head where we can't exchange outs for a run," Francona said. "So, it's a difficult situation all the way around. But, rather than play the infield in without a forceout with Donaldson, I decided with the forceout at the plate and pitch to [Edwin] Encarnacion."
Even given that strategy in mind, Donaldson was caught off guard.
"To say the least, I was a little surprised," Donaldson said, "because I just had a terrific season, and there's no outs. Walking up to the box, I wasn't thinking I was about to get an intentional walk."
Encarnacion made Cleveland pay with a hard comebacker, which struck the top of the mound and bounced into center for a two-run single. Encarnacion shouted as he ran up the first-base line and -- after advancing to second on a throw to the plate -- the Blue Jays first baseman pounded his chest as the Rogers Centre crowd roared.

It was not the desired result. The Indians would have rather been spraying champagne and partying in advance of their first World Series berth since 1997.
The odds of that scene remain in the Tribe's favor.
"We're up in the series," Shaw said. "We still have the upper hand, up 3-1 now. We've got to win one. They've got to win three."
As for the bullpen's momentary lapse, Kluber was not concerned.
"They've been phenomenal so far," said the ace. "If [Shaw] was able to make that play and get the out at first, it could change the whole complexion of that inning. They've been really good to this point, and I don't think we have any doubts that they're going to be really good going forward."

Managing sales during the holidays
The holidays can be a prime time to increase your sales leads and customer base. Learn how to manage the holiday rush.
Managing the influx of holiday sales and customer demand can be challenging. Your sales team must maximize every opportunity to serve customers and generate holiday profits.
At the same time, how you treat your customers during the holidays will also influence if they buy from you again. If you handle holiday pressure and help harried customers, you'll win big. They'll remember an excellent experience and return.
Here's how to avoid distractions, focus your team, and keep sales on track this holiday season.
Manage holiday distractions
Because the holidays can be busy, manage distractions by using your time wisely, increasing accountability, and helping your team stay focused.
List all possible distractions during the holidays, such as shopping online for your own needs or planning time off. Create two columns on a sheet of paper. In the first, list your "must-do" distractions — the ones you can't escape. In the second, list things that won't contribute to your production — and avoid those activities.
Ask your team to help create the list so everyone is committed. When the holiday rush hits, you and your team will be focused.
Provide refresher sales trainings
Next, train your salespeople to execute an exceptional experience — and get them to commit to it. Managers should practice handling different situations with their sales team. Discuss how to greet customers, and talk about special holiday discounts and promotions. Establish a plan and a script for resolving complaints, and develop a "whatever it takes" customer service attitude.
Committing to exceptional customer service during the holidays will set you apart. Customers may expect mediocre service, but you can impress them.
Be intentional with time
Even beyond the holidays, make the most of your time and be intentional about it. If there's one mantra for salespeople, it is "Pay attention and be productive." Managers must pay attention, be productive, and make sure their employees are doing the same. This leads to accountability.
If there is a slowdown after a rush, use the time to straighten merchandise and tidy the store. Accomplish things within blocks of time, or prepare for the next customer. Tell yourself, for example, "I will check in that inventory in under an hour." Then take action.
The holidays are as busy for you as they are for your employees and customers. Create a game plan that includes staying focused and practicing possible scenarios. Make sure everyone is 100% committed to great service, do whatever it takes to please customers, and you'll win big this holiday.

Bunk bed curtains – The best way to convert two equal beds in a bunk bed is to build a loft bed that can accommodate twin bed beneath the other. This preserves the integrity of the structure of the original bed and allows you to make adjustments later.
Plans for a standard sized double bed that can be adjusted to accommodate larger beds by changing the dimensions of the timber. Measure the dimensions of the frame bunk bed curtains. Cut two beams your 2 x 4 inches to match the length of the twin structure. Cut the other two beams 2 x 4 inches to match the width of the frame of the double bed. Cut the sheet of plywood to match the length and width of your bed. Make two holes at the end of each post, using a drill of the same diameter as the screws. Place the holes in the center, about 12 inches (30.48 cm) from the end of the pole, the second at a distance of 3/4 inch (1.905 cm) from the previous from the end.
Make two holes at each end of each of your longest beams arranged vertically to 3/4 inch (1.905 cm) apart and 3 inches (1.905 cm) from the end of the beam. It uses the same drill bit used to drill holes in the posts. Remove your existing mattress bed with a bunk bed curtains.

The new amendment, which reduced the no development zone to 50m from the high tide line (HTL), has been welcomed by people across coastal areas as it enables them to construct houses without having to face technical hurdles.
However, before any activity can be planned, the state will have to ready coastal zone management plans (CZMP) for all coastal districts and local bodies that come under the purview of the notification. There is a growing concern that this could trigger environmental damage in the coastal region.
Experts caution that any plan should be done keeping in mind the vulnerability to floods and inundation. "We have a lot of strict rules, but we are very poor in implementing them and this is what we will have to look into," said senior scientist at National Centre for Earth Sciences KK Ramachandran, who was a former member secretary, Kerala coastal zone management authority (KCZMA). He said that tourism and eco-tourism activity will have to be monitored. "But, how can it be done as KCZMA is poorly equipped without enough staff. Most members are nominated," he said.
The state has just developed coastal management plans for several local bodies only recently. "Now, all of it has to be revised. Plans have to be made on a war footing as the notification clearly says that there is no implementation of the new rules without the plan," said advocate S Sahasranaman, a legal expert on CRZ.
He said that after the plan has been prepared, there has to be a public hearing and it can be finalized as a public document only after that. It would take more than a year because CZMP has to be scientifically made. Ramachandran said that it would be better to identify areas which could be used for tourism activity.
Another important aspect is that the Vembanad Lake area comes under the critical vulnerable coastal areas.
"Already over 3,000 acres have been encroached upon in the past seven years, which has impacted the waterbody, marine life and also the wetland area," said senior fellow at Bengaluru-based Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environment Priyadarsanan Dharmarajan.
One of the areas that has not been addressed is the private mangroves. Around 50% of the mangroves in the state comes under private property.
In a mangrove spread of more than 1,000 sq m, we have to have a 50m buffer which is essential to protect it from any other human interference.
0"But the private mangroves don't seem to attract the buffer clause and we in Kerala are also unaware of the total area of private mangroves here," Ramachandran said.
Highlights of the new notification
I) Densely-populated rural areas to be afforded greater opportunity for development. For CRZ-III (rural) areas, two separate categories have now been stipulated
a) CRZ-III A - Densely-populated rural areas with a population density of 2,161/sq km as per 2011 Census. There will be No Development Zone (NDZ) of 50m from the high tide line (HTL) as against 200m from the HTL stipulated in the CRZ Notification, 2011 since such areas have similar characteristics as urban areas
b) CRZ-III B - Rural areas with population density of below 2,161/sq km as per 2011 Census. Such areas shall continue to have an NDZ of 200m from the HTL
II) Tourism infra for basic amenities to be promoted
Temporary tourism facilities such as shacks, toilet blocks, change rooms, drinking water facilities, etc. have now been permitted in beaches
Such temporary tourism facilities are also permissible in the 'No Development Zone' (NDZ) of the CRZ-III areas. However, a minimum distance of 10m from HTL should be maintained
III) Procedure for CRZ clearances streamlined
Only such projects/activities, which are located in the CRZ-I (ecologically-sensitive areas) and CRZ IV (area covered between low tide line and 12 nautical miles seaward) shall be dealt with for CRZ clearance by the ministry of environment, forest and climate change.
The powers for clearances with respect to CRZ-II and III have been delegated at the state level with necessary guidance
IV) NDZ of 20m stipulated for all islands
For islands close to the main land coast and for all backwater islands in the main land, NDZ of 20m has been stipulated
V) All ecologically sensitive areas accorded special importance
Specific guidelines related to their conservation and management plans have been drawn up
VI) Pollution abatement accorded special focus
VII) Defence and strategic projects accorded necessary dispensation

GM Races To Avoid Bankruptcy
Cut deeper. Work harder. Move faster.
That's how he described the ailing automaker's urgent effort to meet a June 1 deadline to fix its debt-ridden balance sheet, cut billions in costs and take other steps to transform itself into a profitable entity.
It's the same government-imposed race that Chrysler LLC is running, only GM's smaller neighbor has to cover more distance in half the time.
The Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker must make the same cuts as GM, and sign up Fiat Group SpA as a partner, all in 30 days. Fiat's CEO jetted to Detroit for intense negotiations, but if Chrysler doesn't meet the deadline, it's almost certainly destined for the auction house.
For GM, failing to take quick action means surrendering to court supervision in bankruptcy. The company has resisted bankruptcy talk in the past, but Henderson said Tuesday it is now "certainly more probable."
The companies have yet to receive specifics from the task force on how much more they must cut and where, but Henderson is proceeding with deeper cuts and pulling previously announced measures forward.
"We need to reinvent General Motors, and we need to do it in a very, very abbreviated time frame here in 2009 so that we're not spending our time careening from crisis to crisis in the future," he told reporters at GM's headquarters complex in downtown Detroit.
The White House is weighing a plan that would ease GM into a controlled bankruptcy, using taxpayer money to facilitate splitting the auto giant into two companies, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The proposal would separate GM's liabilities and less desirable assets from its more profitable elements - similar to parts of the government's plan to rescue the banking industry.
There are formidable obstacles to GM's success, though. Even with less demanding hurdles in the government's original loan terms, GM's bondholders have been reluctant to settle their $28 billion for what may be pennies on the dollar. The company still hasn't reached a deal with the United Auto Workers on funding a union-run trust that will take over retiree health care costs.
It's uncertain whether they can work together to compromise on their competing interests, even though failure means they stand to lose a lot more.
It was clear, though, that every scenario will include more pain for just about anyone connected with the companies.
GM said in its February plan it would cut 47,000 jobs worldwide by the end of the year. Presumably those cuts will come sooner.
Henderson said GM also must slash its staggering liabilities - not just the $49 billion in bond debt and secured loans, but also pension obligations and retiree health care costs.
"We need to basically address all of our level of indebtedness, because in fact, what they want is a healthy balance sheet, and that healthy balance sheet needs to address each of these constituencies," he said.
Henderson wouldn't say specifically if pensions or health care would change, but it's likely that GM's 400,000 U.S. retirees and spouses will see benefit cuts, along with its 244,000 active workers.
He said the company probably will close more than the five factories it promised to shutter in its February restructuring plan filed with the government. More buyout and early retirement offers are likely.
If GM doesn't satisfy the government in time, a short bankruptcy would allow the company to wipe out its debt, change contracts and emerge as a healthy business. The government is backing automakers' warranties and has pledged financing for GM.
For Chrysler, however, Mr. Obama's auto task force has decided it has no chance to survive alone, and it would be left to get sold off in pieces. There were signs of progress, however, that a partnership could be arranged.
Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne flew to Detroit late Monday for talks, and the Italian automaker agreed to reduce its stake in Chrysler from 35 percent to 20 percent in exchange for providing small-car technology, according to a person briefed on the negotiations who was not authorized to speak publicly. Under the new terms, Fiat's share would increase in 5 percent increments every time certain milestones are met, the person said.
At GM, Henderson said the 60 days should be enough time to accomplish its work, but bankruptcy could come before then if GM management and the government determine it won't be able to meet the deadline.
"If it's quite clear that we're not able to accomplish what we need to do in terms of operational restructuring, reduction of debt on the balance sheet and what we need to do to accomplish these broad parameters of having a viable business, this will be a management judgment," Henderson said.
Besides slashing costs, GM must start selling more cars, and the company announced Tuesday its own version of a plan that will make car payments for customers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. It's called "Total Confidence," and its designed to pull in timid buyers who fear the economy will claim their employment.
The company, Henderson said, counted on revenue for too long from trucks and sport utility vehicles. Now, every vehicle has to turn a profit. That means unprofitable cars and trucks could get the ax, and soon.
"The view is everything's got to pay rent in our product portfolio," he said.
GM also has to jettison unprofitable brands, including iconic Hummer. A decision on closing or selling was supposed to be revealed Tuesday, but GM is still talking with potential buyers. Henderson said an announcement will come within weeks.
GM is alive today only because of $13.4 billion in government loans, and Henderson wouldn't reveal how much more money the century-old company will need to get through the 60 days. The Treasury Department has not told the company how much money it will get to sustain itself, but Henderson said he doesn't expect a dollar more than necessary.
"We submit reports to them weekly in terms of our cash, both in the U.S. and on a global basis," he said. "They know exactly where we are and exactly what we are doing."
Henderson, officially named CEO by the GM board on Sunday, said he isn't worried that the government will fire him like it did his predecessor, longtime CEO Rick Wagoner.
"They've asked me to do the job. I'm not going to really worry about how long that's going to be," he said. "I figure if we get our job done, which is where I'm going to focus my attention, it's going to be OK. And if they want to replace me they can do it."

If you're like many of us you've spent more time taking your car in for maintenance than you have paying attention to your body! That's why I'm offering a Free Body Reading. Read on....
You'll benefit 3 ways:
1. The body that you live in, wrinkles and all, is the same body that you take to yoga classes, to your workout, to Zumba, to drumming, to gardening, to playing with your grandkids. It is useful to have some idea of what your body needs in terms of strength and flexibility, so you can keep doing the things you love. A Body Reading is a good step towards that.
Where are the places in your body that need some TLC?
2. Your body is unique. In fact it's even unique relative to the body you had 20 or even 10 or 5 years ago.
Our bodies are always changing. Yet too often we get stuck in doing the same old same old, as if we haven't changed at all. A Body Reading is a Wake Up and Take a Good Look opportunity to get a fresh perspective.
How does your body organize itself? Could it use some support to organize itself in new ways?
3. Best of all, this is offered for free. You don't need to sign up for anything else (you can if you want to.) Part of my work is to educate. One of the things I educate about is how to help your body last, function, move and breathe with greater ease and care.
4. Learn to feel grateful for you body in new ways. Your body responds to your feelings of gratitude.
With your Free Body Reading you get a Sweet Discount off Private Yoga with me. I'm just saying. Scoop this up - offer ends June 30.
Click and watch a 10-minute TED talk given by Louie Schwartzberg, Time lapse photographer, entitled: Nature. Beauty. Gratitude. Or this really quick interview from Huffington Post, that he gave with Oprah about the monarch butterfly migration. Take away: Consider planting some milkweed. From monarchjointventure.org, an online source: "Monarchs cannot survive without milkweed; their caterpillars only eat milkweed plants (Asclepias spp.), and monarch butterflies need milkweed to lay their eggs."
Milkweed has a non-invasive variety with thinner leaves and orange rather than purplish flowers. I bought mine from the Wagon Wheel folks, Tuesday Grower's Market, Ashland.
Dhani Harrison (George Harrison's son) from his group's album Fistful of Mercy, this Official Video Song, from You Tube: With Whom You Belong. I love the words of the chorus.
And thanks to everybody that supports/supported our Peace Choir, came to the concert last week, and sent warm vibes our way. The concert rocked and we had a blast.
Last, on the topic of friends. Wow. Big shout out to my friends from another lifetime. I recently reunited with my dearest girlfriend and other friends from Kripalu Center. Some of us go back to 1976. We were part of the Consciousness Wave that brought yoga and meditation to these United States. Our work landed these practices, this outlook and way of living, firmly on new shores. I'm really proud of our accomplishments that have touched literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Including my own.

mechanized warfare
mechanized warfare, employment of modern mobile attack and defense tactics that depend upon machines, more particularly upon vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel engines. Central to the waging of mechanized warfare are the tank and armored vehicle, with support and supply from motorized columns and aircraft. Automobiles were of great use in World War I. The tank was introduced at Cambrai in 1917, and its use was enthusiastically endorsed by the British general J. F. C. Fuller. The need for air protection and support was emphasized by the American general William Mitchell. Although the basic essentials of mechanized warfare were thus established early, it was not until Germany attacked Poland at the start of World War II that its full potentials were revealed. German armored (Panzer) divisions, supported by aircraft, proved their worth in Poland and France and later won spectacular successes in the Balkans, the Soviet Union, and Africa. Outstanding among the German proponents of this type of warfare were Heinz Guderian and Erwin Rommel. The German triumphs brought recognition to other advocates of mechanized warfare, e.g., Liddell Hart and Charles de Gaulle. The British and American armies also created armored divisions, and they developed weapons for defense against mechanized attack, e.g., the antitank gun and the tank destroyer. The Germans used their mechanized forces for deep penetrations into enemy territory but were ultimately beaten by superior use of artillery and aircraft as shown by the Allies in the battle of El Alamein and other engagements. The Allies themselves developed the use of mechanized warfare with brilliant success, as in the overrunning of Western Europe (1944–45) by Allied forces under such leaders as Gen. George S. Patton. The Israeli desert offensives of 1956 and 1967 involved close coordination of motorized infantry units with air and parachute forces; in the Vietnam War helicopters helped to increase the mobility of troops and equipment. Mechanized warfare has been augmented by technological developments to such an extent that the concept has become largely superfluous.

Accenture's Q4 FY13 results: mixed read-across for European IT Services companies
Yesterday evening Accenture reported Q4 FY13 revenues slightly above company guidance and consensus ests., while FY14 revenue growth guidance is in line. However, we believe this publication will generate a mixed short-term catalyst for Capgemini and other IT Services stocks as Accenture's next quarter will be relatively weak for company-specific reasons. Interestingly, the call reassured us of the fact the weakness of ERP sales (SAP, Oracle) is essentially due to the economic environment.

While reading through my new Zuni Cafe cookbook, I learned that Rodgers feels beets are best the day after being roasted. So, I refrigerated the ones I cooked yesterday overnight and am thinking that a beet tart sounds lovely. I've run out of time to have it ready for lunch, but can definitely have it for dinner. What if I use the beets, greens, some Bûcheron inside, and make a shell that incorporates a bit of orange zest? Hmm. Will keep you posted.
Jack and I went to his violin lesson this morning (he pretending to be an alien; why the alien was wearing jeans/red rain boots/blue button-down shirt I wasn't quite clear) and then to the nursery to see the new haunted castle (all the kids were terrified). I picked up this gorgeous pumpkin- perfect for the soup I mentioned recently, yes?

Red-Flag Case Gets Green Light
A Federal Appeals Court in Washington, D.C., won't delay the case determining the fate of the Federal Communications Commission's "broadcast flag," despite a request by the agency to slow down.
A coalition of consumer activist groups and library associations have asked the court to strike down the FCC's mandate, which requires digital TV's and recording devices to honor codes producers can insert into programs to prevent retransmission over the Internet.
The FCC asked the court to delay the case until the agency finished its own reconsideration of the rules. Broadcasters and Hollywood fought for the rules to protect high-definition movies and other digital content from unauthorized distribution. Opponents, however, say the restriction violates consumers' home recording rights and that the FCC has no jurisdiction to impose the rules.
Holding the case in abeyance would have been a defeat for the consumer groups because the mandate kicks in July 1, 2005. That would likely not have been enough time for the court to restart its case after the FCC finishes its reconsideration, then come to a ruling before the kick-in date.
Once the mandate is triggered, set makers won't want the expense of retooling production lines to remove flag technology even if the mandate was eliminated by judges, explained Public Knowledge President Gigi Sohn. "Had the court decision gone the other way, the broadcast flag would have become the television standard regardless of the ultimate outcome of the case."

For the last 20+ years, we in the media have covered elections like sports contests---and we're not very good at it. Put me down for promoting the sports editors to the national political desks and let them have at it. Will be a much more interesting read.
In the meantime, I was at three debate events on the upper west side last night---one pre-debate dinner, a debate party at David's, and then at home with J for a post-mortem. We all loved Barack for his debating style--subtle, reasoned, passionate but not loud, acknowledging the strengths of the opponent, clarity about differences etc. I still fear that this is not a winning combination, but we'll see how it plays.
I am completely out of touch with how most Americans react to political events of this nature. From my perch on the upper west side, we are all fair-minded, politically correct, astute liberals. What happened to the rest of 'them' out 'there'??

All this talk of love and valentines day made me extra eager to spread a little love in my own home. I have had this old mirror for a long time and I decided last night to deface it with a affirmation so that each day when we walk by it we will look and start to believe it a little more. Learning to love or hate yrself comes from a habit place I think. I have always wanted a tiled mosaic ceiling in my bathroom that right above the shower says "good morning sunshine"
I have always thought that might be a lovely habit to the morning.
I try to talk about myself in positive terms around my sons.
It is hard to not scream out that I hate my body sometimes.
It is hard to not call myself fat and wretched, but I think if I let those words creep out and mingle in the air in this house I will have let my sons down.
I am trying to raise these boys in a gentle way.
I am trying to raise these boys to love women.
The reality of women.
I am raising these boys and arming them with love.
I think that at the end of the day my best gift to them will be love.
And how to unleash it to the world...
do you talk about body image to yr kids?
do you think about what you say about yr body?
Tell me things...

Blue Jays' last postseason appearance was in a different era
It may not have been obvious at the time, but when Joe Carter's home run sailed over the wall to win the 1993 World Series for Toronto, a distinct era in baseball history came to an end.
That was the last postseason before the wild card, as well as the last before a labor dispute wiped out the World Series the following year. Later in the 1990s, interleague play was introduced, and now the sport has instant replay and even a clock to speed up play.
Perhaps most significantly, that 1993 season was the culmination of a superb stretch for baseball in Toronto – and Canada in general. Now there's only one major league team north of the border, and the road back to relevance has been a lengthy one for the Blue Jays.
"It's really, really neat to see the stadium full," said Pat Hentgen, a 19-game winner for the 1993 Blue Jays. "It's just been a long time coming."
The Blue Jays won their first AL East championship in 1985, and by the early `90s, the only thing that had really eluded them was an extended postseason run. They finally broke through with World Series titles in `92 and `93.
Their success coincided with a 13-year stretch in which the New York Yankees failed to reach the playoffs. Instead, it was Toronto that became a model franchise in that division, aggressively signing free agents like Dave Winfield and Paul Molitor and trading for stars like David Cone and Rickey Henderson.
"You're talking about a pretty darn good powerhouse, year after year," Hentgen said.
Hentgen was in his first full season in the majors in 1993, and after that, he didn't participate in the playoffs again until 2000, when he was with St. Louis. In 1994, baseball realigned from four divisions to six and added wild cards.
"I think it's better now," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "It keeps most teams in it till the end. It keeps fans interested. There used to be teams that would run away with it and the rest of the division had no chance come August."
The extra postseason spots have been of little use to the Blue Jays, though. From 1994-2014, Toronto won no division titles and managed only one second-place finish in an AL East dominated by two big spenders, the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.
The Blue Jays were under .500 when a strike ended the 1994 season. That year is remembered more for Canada's other team. The Montreal Expos were 74-40 with a roster that included Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker and John Wetteland, but the strike ended that team's hope of making it three Canadian championships in a row.
The Expos faded badly after that and moved to Washington following the 2004 season. Suddenly, the Blue Jays were Canada's lone representative in the majors, and their postseason drought dragged on.
But unlike in Montreal, where attendance dropped precipitously, the Blue Jays had enough decent seasons to keep fans interested. Last year's 83-79 performance – when Toronto drew nearly 2.4 million fans at Rogers Centre – was fairly typical.
That ballpark, originally called SkyDome, was quite a spectacle when it opened in 1989 with its hotel and retractable roof. The Blue Jays drew over 4 million spectators in 1993, and fans have waited a while for a chance to host a postseason game again.
Thursday's opener of the AL Division Series against Texas will have downtown Toronto buzzing – and general manager Alex Anthopoulos realizes his team is representing more than just its city.
"I know we're the Toronto Blue Jays but we're also the Canada Blue Jays," he said. "You see the support we've gotten on the road. I can't imagine everyone who's coming on the road is coming from Toronto."
It was Anthopoulos who helped engineer the team's drive to a division title this year. The Blue Jays were 50-50 when they acquired shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in a blockbuster deal with Colorado. Then left-hander David Price was traded from Detroit to the Blue Jays. Suddenly, it seemed like the early `90s again in Toronto, with the Blue Jays adding more stars for the stretch run.
Those wild cards, which didn't exist the last time the Blue Jays were in the playoffs, had kept Toronto very much within striking distance of a postseason spot, even before those big trades. Then the Blue Jays took off, rolling to a 93-69 record and winning the division by six games.
That set the stage for Thursday, when Price will take the mound and throw the first postseason pitch in Toronto since Carter's home run.
"You just kind of feel the excitement," Gibbons said. "No doubt about that."

Imagine you had the option of having an extra eye ... installed in your head. Would you want one? And where would you put it? On top - so that you can always see the sky? On the back - like a back-up camera in a car?
There is a passage in Bhagavad Gita in which Krishna makes the following offer to Arjuna, a dejected warrior who is praying for meaning on the eve of a fratricidal battle:
"You cannot see me with your own eye;
I will give you a divine eye to see ..."
Fact is Arjuna needed no extra eye. He already had three. That's right: two to see out and one - the mind's eye - to see in.
Same with you - you too are three-eyed.
And the curious thing about this inner vision is that it allows you to see out in such a way that you don't just see things, but you see into things; you don't just see others - you see into them.
Case in point: blessed with an early morning of mindfulness today, I felt inspired to write down these thoughts, while chilling in my basement. I got up and on the way upstairs to my laptop, stopped to use the bathroom in the basement. I turned the light on and what I see is a centipede trying to climb a sleek plastic cliff of an empty trash can. It climbs and falls, climbs and falls. Was it trying to get out before I turned the lights on? I am not sure. Perhaps, exhausted after who knows how many hours of trying, it was just lying on the bottom of the trashcan. And, probably, when I turned the light on, it was jolted into action.
I have no fondness for centipedes. They are, frankly, repulsive little creatures, in my opinion. But I thought to myself: "What true hell this must be! To be alive - like this centipede - and stuck in the abyss of some unknown plastic conundrum, trying to get out and to no avail, totally unwitnessed in this life-or-death battle ..."
I tipped the trashcan to the side to let the centipede out. It scurried away, feeling what ... ? Relieved, bewildered, lucky, perhaps, as we too do when we survive a close call of some kind ... ?
Without this third eye, without this inner vision that helps see into things and beings, we see beings as things, even when these beings are human beings.
Krishna says to Arjuna:
See my forms, in hundreds and thousands;
diverse, divine, of many colors and shapes.
I am not pitching you religion. I am pitching you awareness. See the difference?
