MattTopper necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 113 diseños de 38 diseñadores freelance.
We're a new software consulting company that is focusing on solutions for the federal government. Our goal is to try and change the way government projects work by taking a more agile approach. We want to appear new, young and fresh, but still need to have a bit of a conservative logo considering our target customer base. The name uberether was thought of by our founder as ether is a chemistry binding agent and uber is obviously the best. Uberether stands to try and bond our customers with the best approaches and solutions for their target problems. Our website will likely be based on one of the themes from RocketTheme's demo site (http://demo.rockettheme.com/wordpress/) since we have an account there. Our target services are around identity, security, web services and cloud management. We're not looking to build a billion dollar business, just a group of 10-15 passionate people who really want to change the way government software solutions are deployed. We're still trying to come up with / decide if we need a tagline, feel free to experiment or make suggestions for us. Just make sure we can pull it out / change it if we don't like it.
Federal government customers and Fortune 500 companies
(We kinda agree with the stock template that 99 designs provides)
1. No Cartoons - not cheap or childlike our customers are the federal government
2. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being fancy. We want to be different from the stodgy companies we are going against. If it has a seal like any major government logos its definitely out
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
4. We would prefer a more linear design. Something like this (http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/19391) or (http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/10333) is preferred. Versus a more vertical design like this (http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/223). Not saying the winner won't be vertical, if you have something you really think would be interesting we'd definitely consider it.
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Yes, me in this sad anonymous nickname, and just on this internet site, this is as far as i can call "coming out". Living in a country controlled by religious people and shari'a law, there is no "coming out", unless you want to be killed!.
If you "come out" here, your own family will beg you to keep it in the family, for you not to be killed, this is of-course the best scenario possible, even though they really believe that if you get killed you deserve it! their own son! and of-course you're going to hell.
The worst case scenario, you get disowned by you're family, they are the ones who report you so you can be punished by shari'a law, and the punishment for leaving your religion is death as many of you know.
So yes, Think Atheist is me coming out, to complete strangers, can't do anything else, whatever you put in videos. I cant even tell my best friend because I'm afraid i will push her away! And yes, DON'T come out if you're like me!.

You mentioned being in London at one point in your life. Did you ever consider seeking asylum while there?
Perhaps circumstances wouldn't allow you that option.
How do atheists in your society try to connect? Is there any network at all or does the risk of being caught prevent this?
I would hope you take measures to hide your internet identity when participating in such forums as this one.
In your precarious situation extreme caution is warranted.
Your road to social reforms and tolerance will be a long one. I hope you can eventually meet others of a similar mind and set in motion a process of change, no matter how small.
I understand that small inroads are being made to give the women of your societies a more equal footing with the male counterparts.
Perhaps as they experience more freedoms it will aid your cause.
Your plight has made me all the more keen to the freedoms we westerners take for granted.
Stay safe.
Yes I've been to london for a vacation.. I think us arabs are family oriented, I want to be open about my atheism but I also don't want to lose my family, I don't know if that makes any sense to you.
I actually don't know any atheists from my country, in real life I mean, I met only 1 active user here in this site.. I know there are more of course but if I assume they are like me then they wont even try and "ask or tell" anyone in the real life(outside the internet). This is the only place I can interact with other atheists.
Yes there are freedoms and reforms are being made slowly, but I think the religious freedom is very very very far away, don't take yours for granted, you're lucky.
I am cautious in what I do or discuss everywhere, and I'm hiding my identity here. Thanks for your advice.
check this out..
but what I'm talking about here starts @ 9:10
I sympathize with you. Where Muslims are dominant and Sharia is the law, a non-Muslim has only 3 choices: become a Muslim, pay half your income to retain your non-Muslimity, or death. A Muslim who renounces his religion. has only one choice - death. It is all in the holy Qur'an.
In places where they cannot impose this Qur'anic requirement, Muslims are required to practice Taqiyya -the doctrine of deception. It is their duty to deceive non-Muslims into thinking that Islam is a religion of peace - emphasizing the pre-Hijra part of the Qur'an when Mohammad (pbuh) advocated peace and conciliation. Their aim is to slowly get parts of Shariah to get accepted and lull non-Muslims into complacency.
If you, are Muslim and, do not practice Taqiyya, you declare yourself morally superior to Muhammad (pbuh) who himself practiced Taqiyya - definitely a no-no. He signed a 10-year peace agreement with the original residents of Mecca. Then, he secretly raised an army. After 2 years, he attacked Mecca, killing all Christians, Jews and pagans there - who were confident that he would abide by his word of honor, which he did not have.
The chips are stacked against people who believe in truth and the honor in keeping ones word - to all people regardless of religion. If your sense of morality compels you to believe this, you have no chance to survive Taqiyya and Muslims who believe the Qur'an compels them to deceive the infidel - whether your are an atheist or practice any other religion.
SADLY, if you can no longer stand the stress and danger of being found out and put to death - leave, if you can, and breath the free air of democracy. But keep on informing other Muslims of what they are missing unless they escape from under the heavy oppressive boot of Ayatollahs, Mullahs and Imams. Use the Twitter, Facebook, etc. but make sure you can maintain your anonymity, or face death. Hopefully, someday Muslims will rise and adopt all the befits of freedom. Hopefully the freedom fighters in Iran will win. and Hopefully the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood will not hijack the Egyptian revolution.
Although I am an atheist, I pray that "If there be a God, and he is just, May God keep and protect you".
Thanks for your kind thoughts and concerns, and your "prayers".. As long as I don't tell people about my lack of belief I think I will be safe.
As for using twitter or facebook, I don't know if you could understand me but I am actually happy that this site is unknown in my country! If I started a facebook page or a twitter account, It will spread and I will be involved in a Cyber-Jihad! And I don't know if someone will take a step and drop the word "cyber" and act on it or not! I don't know if I'm ready to receive death threats! Maybe I'm being a cowered or paranoid but I'm ok with that for now at least, this is my life I'm risking! Not a job nor social acceptance.
I hope you understand.
Yes, I understand. Survive, my friend. Life is the highest value. - nothing higher. Job? Social acceptance? Mere pittance. Welcome to Think Atheist. I've been here for a while and here I find community, a sense of belonging. This may sound untrue, considering the vast diversity of atheists - and how we keep arguing about the the littlest things. But it's true. I actually enjoy the disagreements.
In the company of believers, I feel out of place, as if I'm an outsider. Everybody agrees. I hold my peace, not because I fear for my life, but because I know I will win the argument and they will feel very bad. I do not want to make people unhappy. I go to church because it provides social interaction. My daughter's husband is a Pastor. It would make her unhappy if I do not go. But I have many discussions with our Pastors, privately of course.
If holding my peace, so as not to make people unhappy, makes me feel uncomfortable, I can hardly imagine the stress you must be feeling, to keep silent to keep being alive. Come argue with us and feel the community, the belonging, the mental challenge. Atheists have the highest intelligence - and are not afraid to use it. - or ashamed to admit it.
You'll do much service to your brother atheists if you continually keep increasing our knowledge about the political system that masquerades as a religion - Islam - together with Taqiyya, Hijra, Jihad and the 72 virgins (I heard, that before it was edited, it said "72-year old virgin", from my friend Otto). ;-)wink

Building Teams to Self-Manage and Grow
Self-directed teams — sometimes called self-managed teams, empowered work units, or autonomous work teams — function in their truest sense without supervisory authority. Team members are interdependent, but the role of supervisor usually is missing. A self-directed team is as much a team as any other, but it has a unique management structure — no supervisor.
By comparison, a regular work group reports to a supervisor who is part of the group. In many such cases, the supervisor does much of the same work that the group members do, or he performs a higher level of the overall work that the group must accomplish. Self-directed teams, on the other hand, report to a manager, but generally no management personnel are part of the team's ongoing and daily operations.
The role of manager or supervisor, in the case of a self-directed team, is replaced by all the members of the team. Together, they plan and execute the work, day in and day out, carrying out the directions set by management above them. It isn't unusual for only one manager to oversee several self-directed teams.
Getting started is one big challenge with a self-directed team, but keeping the team moving forward is another. You can do it by remembering to focus on the important elements of the early stages of implementation that are covered in the following sections.
Teams meet frequently to plan and carry out their work, and you want to use those face-to-face occasions to provide leadership and direction and not have to rely so much on e-mail messages. Keep in closer contact by being present at occasions like these:
- Regular team meetings with your core group of team leaders who pass on information to the teams
- Periodic all-hands meetings at which you bring together all the team members
- Occasional drop-in visits with team meetings to stay in touch
- Regular MBWA, or Management By Walking Around
MBWA is an effective form of informal communications. You walk around to people's work areas for a few minutes of social chatter. You have the rest of the day to handle business issues, so have a little fun. MBWA is a communication strategy that makes you a visible leader and enables you to gain a better knowledge of your team members as people and not just as employees.
Establishing training as a regular business practice
Stating your expectations about training and helping your team find the resources that it needs to meet those expectations is a vital part of your job. You can evaluate their success when you evaluate team performance.
Expanding team responsibilities one step at a time
Ultimately, a truly self-managed team handles all responsibilities that a work group supervisor would. But a team can't assume all those responsibilities at once. Team members need time to discover and absorb various supervisory routines into their daily functions, especially administrative matters. When asking a self-directed team to take on new responsibilities, follow these steps to effectively delegate responsibilities:
- Spell out the results that you expect.
- Define the parameters that team members need to work within, especially limitations on time and authority.
- Provide the training and other forms of support that team members need to take on new duties.
- Set up checkpoints for reviewing progress.
- Evaluate the results.
- Set new goals.
Maintain ongoing accountability and focus with your self-directed teams by setting the frequency — quarterly, perhaps, but no less than once every six months — with which you plan to evaluate team results versus performance targets. Requiring the team to make presentations to you as part of this evaluation process really pushes the responsibility level for achieving results to everyone on the team. You may also want the team to produce an interim report of its performance, say, monthly, much as a supervisor is often required to do.
After a team evaluates its progress, with business direction provided by you, have team members reset their performance goals for the next time period and the plans on how they'll achieve those goals. That, after all, is why they're self-managed teams. Hold them accountable for achieving results.
Developing systems to fit the team structure
When venturing into self-directed teams, you often discover that the systems and policies of your organization don't always make a good match with the new team structure. For example, when company policy says that only someone in supervisory authority can sign off on vacations, employee timesheets, and purchase requisitions, you need to work within your company structure to modify these systems. Administrative areas that may require change include quality assurance practices, vendor relations, compensation, staff administration, work schedules, employee recognition, and performance reviews. You don't want your self-managed teams constantly colliding with internal obstacles when they are charged with managing those same functions. You need to serve as a barrier buster, helping your teams grow in managing their own performances.
Continuously addressing issues and making improvements
When observing how your self-managed teams are progressing — from what's working well to what isn't — you have an opportunity to help them get better at developing solutions.
As much as you possibly can, delegate the development of solutions and periodic review of progress as a means of helping them maintain their accountability. Whenever people don't know what to do, show them and coach them, but seldom volunteer solutions yourself. Whenever you want a team to become self-managing, you want team members taking responsibility for addressing issues and making their solutions work.

They are so well done that I find them hard to put down. Her plots always keep you guessing what is coming next.
This one is no different in that respect - intriguing, suspenseful, and able to hold your interest to the very end.
Can't wait for the next one.

Feeling hopeful, he left his office and drove to the house they once shared. As he pulled up, he noticed a white truck in front of the house. Coming out of the house was someone in a clown costume, complete with wig and makeup. The clown waved at Jay, got in the truck and drove away. Thinking this was very odd, Jay walked up to the house, rang the bell, knocked, then got out his own house key from his pocket and let himself in.
He went from room to room calling her name, but there was no answer. He checked Jackson's empty room, and realized he must still be at day care. Hearing water running, he went upstairs to the hall bathroom. There he saw water seeping out from under the door. The door was locked, so he broke it down. Annalee was in the tub, fully clothed with pink water sloshing on the floor. She had been shot!
This is a murder mystery, but also a story about family, relationships, forgiveness and healing. I look forward to reading the other books in the Moonlighters series.
Doc HiltonHorseshoe Bend, ARAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5A UNIVERSAL STORY WITH AN ETERNAL MESSAGE!May 14, 2014Doc HiltonHorseshoe Bend, ARAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Truth-Stained Lies, The Moonlighter Series, Volume 1.One of the fundamental rules of blogging is: "Once it's out there, it's out there." Once you hit the ENTER key, you can't delete it, you can't remove it, you can't retrieve it. And you certainly can't deny it.
Cathy Cramer is a former lawyer and investigative blogger who writes commentary on local homicides. When she finds a threatening note warning her that she's about to experience the same kind of judgment and speculation that she dishes out on her blog, she dismisses it as a harmless prank.
Then her brother becomes the principal suspect in the murder investigation of his ex-wife. Tried and convicted in the media, he is now scrutinized by the very society of bloggers and commentators of which Cathy is a card-carrying member. And it is up to Cathy and her two sisters, Holly and Juliet, to put aside their doubts and fears and learn the art of investigation. Because their brother is under the gun . . .and his 5-year old son is the killer's next target.
I'll confess . . . I read and reviewed Terri Blackstock's second book in the Moonlighter's Series, DISTORTION, first. It was so well-done that I had to have the entire series. And there was something niggling at the back of my brain; I'd seen TRUTH-STAINED LIES somewhere. Recently. Oh, yes . . . there it is, on my bookshelf!
Coming to the book (both of which are stand-alone, although if you read them as I did there are some potential spoilers in Book 2) with a pre-understanding of the principal characters was interesting. And it made reading the first book (despite the aforementioned potential spoilers) easier. It was like slipping on a comfortable pair of old slippers . . . it just felt right.
I've been a fan of Terri Blackstock since collecting her Cape Refuge series, and her craftsmanship has only improved over the years. With strong characters that nonetheless demonstrate the fatal flaws of original sin and the need for a Savior, Blackstock's fiction is inspirational without being preachy. And her skills as a scribe will keep you reading to the soul-satisfying conclusion.

I don't like to start in the middle of a series, so I backtracked and read book one. Boy, I'm so glad I did! What a thriller! The first book is set in Panama City, Florida, with the main characters consisting of three sisters, their brother and a close family friend.
Cathy Cramer is used to being threatened. In the course of her former job as a lawyer and her current job as an investigative blogger, she has received lots of threats and this latest one is just one among many, or is it? Cathy is just beginning to recover from the murder of her fiancé two years ago and now her brother, Jay, is the prime suspect in his ex-wife's murder. Cathy with the help of her two sisters, Juliet and Holly, and her fiancé's brother, Michael, that her brother is innocent. Her brother and his ex-wife had been in the middle of an ugly custody battle over their 5-year-old son, and soon evidence is discovered that points to Jay's motive for her murder. Cathy and her siblings are also still trying to deal with their preacher father's infidelity and abandonment years ago that had a huge impact on their family and faith. Cathy still believes in God, but wonders if he listens to her on the rare occasions she talks to Him.
As the investigation progresses, her nephew becomes critically ill and is then kidnapped. Cathy calls Michael, her friend, her encourager in faith, her constant supporter. After an attempt on her life, she realizes she has developed feelings for Michael and he has feelings for her. Will her guilty feelings keep her from a possible happy relationship with him? Should she even consider this?
I just loved how this family stuck together throughout all the traumatic events. They protected one another and did whatever was necessary to help their family. Cathy struggled with her faith, but came to realize that God was listening to her and that He wanted to hear from her. He did hear her prayers and answered them. The plot was exciting, the characters well-developed and likeable and the action and thrills nonstop. I highly recommend this suspense-filled story. You won't be disappointed. I'll be reviewing the next book in the series, Distortion, on this site in the next few weeks.

Terri Blackstock
Book Summary: When truth doesn't make sense, will lies prevail? Cathy Cramer is a former lawyer and investigative blogger who writes commentary on high-profile homicides. When she finds a threatening note warning her that she's about to experience the same kind of judgment and speculation that she dishes out in her blog, Cathy writes it off as mischief . . . until her brother's wife is murdered and all the 'facts' point to him. The killer has staged the crime to make the truth too far-fetched to believe. Working to solve the murder and clear her brother's name, Cathy and her two sisters, Holly and Juliet, moonlight as part-time private investigators. Juliet, a stay-at-home mom of two boys, and Holly, a scattered ne'er-do-well who drives a taxi, put aside their fear to hunt down the real killer. Stakes rise when their brother's grieving five-year-old son is kidnapped. As police focus on the wrong set of clues, the three sisters and their battered detective friend are the only hope for solving this bizarre crime, saving the child, and freeing their brother.
Review: I really enjoyed this opening series. I liked that it was so clever of a plot - A clown shot Jay's wife. Truly a twisted twist and immediately made this a must read. I liked all of the siblings and can not wait for the next book. The book did not really over use any of the new characters. I found that the mystery did not take up too much of the book and yet it was fast paced and the mystery filled my head with who did it. The only thing that I did not understand is the connection between the murderer and why he wrote to Cathy_.. Overall a must read for me and a quick paced mystery.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Zondervan for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

Harish Rawat to undertake one day sit in hunger strike outside Uttarakhand Assembly secretariat
The former chief minister of Uttarakhand and the All India Congress Committee general secretary Harish Rawat is sitting on one day hunger strike to express solidarity with the cause of the distressed farmers of the state and the the bereaved families of the hooch victims n deceased in Roorkee Uttarakhand n Saharanpur, UP.
In a video released in his facebook post former Uttarakhand Chief minister Harish Rawat said that he is sitying on one day symbolic hunger strike outside the Uttarakhand assembly in support of the long term demands of the Sugar cane farmers of Haridwar, Garhwal n Uddham Singh, Uttarakhand who have not been paid the balance amount of their due and to also expose the present UP n Uttar Pradesh governments who've completely failed to avert hooch tragedies in their states leaving 70 dead. Harish Rawat said that the Uttarakhand's BJP government has failed to fulfill its pre election promise to give the Ganna peasents ( sugar cane farmers) their financial due which comes to around a whopping 300 crores.
Not only this but despite the affected farmers repeatedly protesting n asking for their due the BJP government of Uttarakhand has literally belied its promises by putting the sugar cane farmers of Haridwar, Garhwal n Uddham Singh Nagar thus proving to be anti farmer. Speaking on the tragic hooch deaths in Saharanpur, Roorkee and Haridwar the former Uttarakhand chief minister Rawat while expressing his grief n sorrow over the hooch deaths said thst both the governments of Uttar Pradesh n Uttarakhand ruled by BJP has failed in curbing the illegal prevalance of hooch trade in their states leading to massive deaths.
Rawat said he visited the hospital and met the bereaved families who'd lost their sole bread earners. Harish Rawat was in Lucknow yesterday to participate in Rahul, Priyanka n Jyotiraditya Scindia's masdive rally and would be unertaking one day fast at Uttarakhand Assemble premises on 13th February alongwith followers and Congressmen. It may be recalled that Harish Rawat has been touring the Uttarakhand n holding socio political meetings on his own with his personel followers thus side lining the state Congress party reveal his arch political rivals within the state Congress.
He has also not been included in the candidates selection panel of the Congress party. But Harish Rawat's is unmoved and had fixed his one day hunger strike programme. It's Harish Rawat's individual initiative n it remains to be seen whether the state Congress chief Pritam Singh n his organisational leaders participate in this Dharna or not. Whats your take friends?

Canadian International School celebrates Teacher's Day with joy and gusto
Teacher's Day was celebrated with joy and gusto at the Canadian International School (CIS) today. Apart from students wishing their teachers in a special way by holding up appreciative banners and placards, they also had the opportunity to purchase flowers and cards for their teachers. The School Community Association (SCA) put up stalls selling beautiful roses and thoughtful gift cards for students to purchase. Teachers were treated to delicious chocolates too! Students at CIS hold a yearly tradition of giving flowers to teachers. The flowers are a symbol of gratitude and respect towards the faculty for their dedication and commitment to inculcate the best knowledge and perspectives among the students. Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was President of India, is remembered on this day for his vast intellectual prowess and his contribution to the betterment of teachers.
Commenting on this celebration, Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School said: "Our teachers are an inspiration to us all. Year after year, they have moulded and shaped our students into responsible, caring, and successful individuals. At CIS, every day is Teacher's Day – every day is a celebration of our teachers for their commitment towards creating the empowered, global citizens."
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. I believe the teachers at CIS do great justice to these words from the great thinker and scientist Albert Einstein," said a parent, Mr. Sridhar, appreciating the teachers for their contribution to education and the students' intellectual outlook and knowledge.
A student, Anushka Ganesh, who expressed gratitude to the teachers said: "Our teachers always encourage us to learn and experience new things."
"It is a day with many smiles and a day to feel special. Teachers and students bond and become closer to each other. Enjoy Teacher's Day," said a teacher, Samanthea Laitfang.

Nuakhai: Odisha Celebrates the New Harvest
Nuakhai is an ancient agricultural festival primarily observed by the people of Western Odisha in India. The word Nuakhai comprises of two words, Nua means New and Khai means food. So, as per the name the festival is celebrated in the joy of newly harvested crop by the farmers. Every year, it is observed on the day after the Ganesh Chaturthi, mostly in the month of August or September.
The celebration of new harvest traces back to Vedic period where the sages or Rishimunis used to preach about Panchyajna, the five important events in the agrarian yearly calendar. These five major events or activities include Sitayajna which means plowing of the land, Pravapana yajna which refers to sowing of seeds, Pralambana yajna which indicates beginning of crops cutting, Khala yajna which means harvesting of grains and Prayayana yajna which refers the preservation of the yield.
Out of these five activities, Pralambana yajna, which means the cutting of new crops and offering the first harvest of the year to the mother goddess, what we call, celebrate and rejoice as Nuakhai festival.
The Western part of Odisha celebrates this auspicious festival with much pump and jubilation. People wear new clothes and offer prayers to the God and enjoy delicious foods prepared from the newly harvested crops.
Although the festival lost its significance over the period, the tradition was much encouraged in 12th century A.D. by the then king Chauvan Raja Ramai Deo of Patanagarh, currently known as Bolangir district of Odisha. The king was aware of the significance and contribution of agriculture towards the development of economy of a state. Hence, the celebration of Nuakhai symbolizes and promoted the farmers way of life in the Western Odisha region.
Nuakhai Festival gives the new generation a great message regarding the significance of agriculture in the economic development of the country and the role of farmers in the process of building a nation. Therefore, even the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has greeted the people of Odisha on the occasion of Nuakhai.
"Nuakhai Juhar! Greetings to the people of Odisha as they celebrate the festival of Nuakhai. May this festival further happiness in society," the Prime Minister said.
Nuakhai Juhar!
One of the most ancient festivals of Odisha, may this auspicious occasion further the spirit of prosperity, especially among our hardworking farmers. Praying for everyone's good health and wellbeing.
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 3, 2019

The union cabinet presided by the prime minister Narendra Modi today took several significant decisions which include unanimous recommendations pertaining to a revolutionary change and improvement in the health sector of the country, promotion of Foreign Direct Investment to boost the nation's s economy and to ensure the overall improvement of farmers.
The union cabinet started its deliberations with the paying of tributes to the former union minister, late Arun Jaitley. After the cabinet meeting, union minister Prakash Javadekar revealed that a very important decision under the prime minister's leadership has been taken. It was regarding the opening of seventy-five new medical colleges in the country, incurring a budget of Rs. 24 thousand three hundred crores.
The proposed seventy-five new medical colleges would open opportunities for prospective MBBS aspirants for 15700 seats and will also ensure medical facilities for treatment to millions of people in various states of the country especially the people of the grass-root sections of the society who largely bank on free and concessional treatments in government hospitals.
In addition to the opening of 75 medical colleges, the BJP led NDA government also announced a Rs 6268 core subsidy for export of six million tonnes of sugar during the marketing year of 2019-20 starting October in order to liquidate surplus domestic stock and help mills in clearing the massive sugarcane arrears to farmers.

First woman DGP of Uttarakhand Kanchan Choudhary Bhattacharya is no more
Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has expressed his grief and sorrow over the sad demise of the first woman Director General of Police of Uttarakhand and condoled her untimely death. Kanchan Choudhary Bhattacharya the second woman IPS after Kiran Bedi, currently, the Lt Governor of Puducherry met her last in Mumbai after suffering from a brief illness. She had retired from her service and was staying in Mumbai.
Kanchan Chowdhary' s sister Kavita Choudhary had made a popular television serial on her life namely Udaan for Doordarshan several years ago which was quite a hit on the small screen. Originally hailing from Himachal Pradesh, Kanchan Choudhary Bhattacharya completed her graduation from Rajkiya Women College, Amritsar and thereafter pursued her post-graduation in English literature from Delhi University.
She joined the India Police Service in 1973 and was quite an ebullient officer. After serving in various important capacities she was elevated as the Director-General of Uttarakhand police in 2004, as the first woman DG of the hilly state after IPS Kiran Bedi who had been IG Prisons of Tihar Jail before retiring from her long challenging innings.
She retired from service as DGP Uttarakhand Police in October 2017 after rendering thirteen years of dedicated services as DG Police of Uttarakhand. During her long stint of more than a decade, Kanchan Choudhary Bhattacharya had made a good number of reforms in Uttarakhand police giving it the title of 'Friendly Police'. It was because of her outstanding services as an exemplary officer of high decorum that she was bestowed with the coveted President's Police Medal at Rashtrapati Bhawan in 1997.
Being a well-read and highly qualified officer she always had an urge to serve the poor, needy and the people of the lowest ebb of the society and was therefore impressed by the crusader against corruption Anna Hazare' s movement. She, therefore, joined the Aam Aadmi Party of Arvind Kejriwal and contested the parliamentary election from Haridwar but lose.
An academician and an ebullient police officer of repute Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya breathed her last, last night in a Mumbai hospital after suffering from a brief illness. Though she has left for her heavenly abode, as an officer of high reputation and fighting spirit Kanchan would be a source of inspiration for the aspiring girls interested to become IPS officers in the near future. Our heartfelt condolences.
Garhwal Hiteshini Sabha felicitated outstanding students
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal felicitated several outstanding and studious students of the tenth and twelfth standards from the various schools of the National Capital Region who had secured more than 90 percent marks in their final board examinations.
About 142 meritorious students of the tenth board and 59 outstanding students of the twelfth board were felicitated by the chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal at a function held in Garhwal Bhawan, New Delhi. This was held under the auspices of the biggest social organization of Uttarakhand, primarily for Garhwalies, in the capital called Garhwal Hiteshini Sabha. GHS was formed in 1923 with meager means and resources.
Amongst the first recipients of the meritorious trophies was Khushi Rawat of the tenth standard who'd exceptionally secured 99.4 percent marks and Dhruv Rawat of class 12th who had scored 98.2 percent marks. In all about 201 students who had secured more than 90 percent, marks were felicitated on this occasion. The outstanding children were presented Rs. 1100 each, a memento and a certificate of meritorious appreciation.
In addition to these felicitations Dr. Priya Baluni was honored for successfully completing MBBS and Kumari Supriya Rawat, Kumari Megha, and Anirudh Rawat were awarded for winning the gold and silver medals in 64, 61 and 50 kilograms category in the state boxing championships of 2019.

The former additional commissioner of Delhi police Dinesh Bhatt was the special chief guest on this occasion. The Garhwal Hiteshini Sabha deserves high appreciation for honoring outstanding and meritorious students as this encourages and helps budding students to progress in life and in their professional careers.
The program was ably anchored by the general secretary of GHS Pawan Maithani. The credit for the success of this noble endeavour primarily goes to the GHS president M S Rana and his entire team of dedicated office bearers.
Former PM Manmohan Singh divested of SPG security, will enjoy Z+ protection
The central government may withdraw the Special Protection Security cover of the ex-prime ministers and their sons and daughters whose threat perception is negligible.
The former prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's 3000 strong security in charge have been reportedly informed about this decision orally by a senior officer. The former prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh is aware of this governmental decision who has been asked to wait. The SPG unit posted outside the Moti Lal Nehru residence of former prime minister had also been informed about the decision and had been asked to wait for a final decision. Dr. Manmohan Singh's daughters had already given up the SPG security cover voluntarily in 2014.
The SPG comprising of 3000 elite force would be available only to the present prime minister Narendra Modi, Congress leaders Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
The decision was reportedly taken after a three months review involving the Cabinet Secretariat and the Ministry of Home Affairs with inputs from intelligence agencies, the Research and Analysis Wing and the Intelligence Bureau. According to the official privy to the development, who asked not to be named the government had according to the procedures laid down by the SPG act 1988, renewed Dr. Singh' s SPG details for a year and thereafter for three months, including for his wife Gursharan Kaur.
"The current security cover review is a periodical and professional exercise based on threat perception that is purely based on a professional assessment by security agencies. Dr. Manmohan Singh continues to have a Z+ security cover," a home ministry official said.
An officer of the security establishment said the withdrawal will hardly make any difference as now the former PM will enjoy Z-level protection, which essentially meant that there is no cap on the number of personnel and vehicles that can be deployed for his security.

Earlier in a day, late leader's son Rohan and wife went to Nigam Bodh Ghat to collect his ashes for immersion in the pious Ganges. Several senior leaders and ministers like Rajnath Singh, Union home minister Amit Shah, etc were present at the time of bidding a final adieu to late Arun Jaitley at Nigam Bodh Ghat.

This is not going to help the summer diet. After a seven-month delay to get its systems tuned up, Chipotle Mexican Grill's (CMG) app for Apple (AAPL) iPhones is back in the app store.
The app allows you to customize, order, and pay for a meal at your local Chipotle. (The company has more than 860 locations; we assume they're all app-ready.)
Neat idea -- something we expect most big chains to eventually offer. (We'll give it a shot.) But meanwhile, we're curious how this Apple patent application -- which covers wireless ordering and payment -- could overlap with an app like this.

No Fleury-Murray matchup in Golden Knights-Penguins game
It's a game that might have been circled by many far in advance because of one particular matchup -- Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury against his former club and his former teammate, Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray.
Now, neither is expected to start Thursday when the teams play at PPG Paints Arena.
Fleury, the one-time Pittsburgh franchise goalie who made an emotional return in February in a 5-4 Penguins win after the Golden Knights plucked him in the 2017 expansion draft, instead started Wednesday at Washington.
In a rematch of the Stanley Cup final in June, the Golden Knights (1-3) lost to the Capitals 5-2.
"I don't think it was our best game, and I think there are a lot of things that we can tighten up, and awareness is something we can do a much better job (of)," Vegas' Reilly Smith said.
Fleury, who made 24 saves, is not expected to make back-to-back starts.
Murray, meanwhile, sustained a concussion in practice Monday, his second concussion this calendar year and third of his NHL career. Because of the unpredictable nature of concussions, it is unknown how long he will be out. He has not practiced since getting hurt.
So what was the big matchup instead will be Pittsburgh backup Casey DeSmith against Golden Knights backup Malcom Subban.
Fleury's return this time is a bit muted by his expected spot on the bench.
"I think that probably plays into it, and the fact that he's played here once already," Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, a longtime close friend of Fleury's, said, adding that Vegas is still a challenging opponent.
"They're a team that had a great year last year, have a lot of confidence built because of that. For us, not having played a lot of games so far this year, we're just trying to find our game a bit and get some momentum."
The Penguins (1-1) have no trouble turning their attention instead to their performance. They have given up 11 goals in two games and were particularly dismayed with their performance in a 5-1 loss Saturday against Montreal.
Since that loss, the team has had three practices to work on things, including one that lasted an hour that winger Jake Guentzel called "high intensity" with most players remaining on the ice at least another 30 minutes, and another not originally scheduled.
"I hope we respond the right way," Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. "My commitment to them is to be straightforward to them.
"We certainly weren't pleased with the effort that we had in the last game. We're trying to identify areas where we need to improve, and we spent three days working on those areas."
Concentrating on one's own team is fine with Vegas, a marked opponent this season as the defending Western Conference champion.
"One thing that we have to (do is) stop talking about last year," the Golden Knights' Jonathan Marchessault told The Athletic. "It's a new year now. Last year is over. It's a new team."

When a plane unfortunately crashes there's no shortage of photos and video of the wreckage, but rarely footage of the actual impact. So to appease our morbid curiosity of what really happens when a large airliner crashes, the Discovery Channel deliberately downed a 727 in the desert for an upcoming show.
The episode, for season two of the series appropriately titled Curiosity, will literally start out with a bang—as well as crunching, scraping, and all manner of sounds as the plane packed with crash test dummies, scientific equipment, and most importantly cameras, was crashed in Mexico's Sonoran Desert.
To ensure nothing went wrong, figuratively speaking, the 727 was brought down by an actual pilot who ejected moments before the impact. And to ensure ratings gold, the crash was also captured on the ground by countless cameras that should not only provide some spectacular footage, but will also give researchers and engineers more insight into how to design planes better suited to protecting passengers in a worst case scenario.

As Privacy Awareness Week kicks off this week, the Federal Government's reforms to the Privacy Act, which began in 2006, seem to have fallen off the radar.
Roger Clarke, principal at Xamax Consultancy, attributes the slow government response to "complete apathy" and says the reason the inquiry began in 2006 was to "quieten down the backbenchers" around problems which had been identified in parliament surrounding privacy issues.
"They progressed extraordinarily slowly and they still haven't really reached any point of resolution, and one has been brought forward from the second tranche, opportunistically and quite recently, but that one also seems to have stalled in the last few months as well," Clarke says.
The story to date
Enacted in 1988, Clarke says the current Privacy Act reflects ideas about technology from the 1970s.
"Some of the language back in the 1970s made sense at the time with mainframes and almost no network. The only networks were specialist closed networks – private networks. Some of the terminology made sense back then, but it doesn't anymore, so we're hopelessly out of date with the Act," he says.
In August 2008, the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) released 295 recommendations for changes to the Privacy Act, with a government response detailing it would respond to the recommendations over two tranches.
In October 2009, the government released the Australian Government First Stage Response to the ALRC's report, <i>For Your Information: Australian Privacy Law and Practice</i> , responding to 197 of the recommendations.
This first set of responses included integrating the public and private sector privacy principles together, creating a credit reporting framework, giving individuals rights to control their health records and strengthening the privacy commissioner's powers.
Draft legislation was expected to be implemented for these first set of changes in early 2010. However, the first tranche of responses are still waiting to come into effect.
The following 98 recommendations will be addressed in the second stage of the government's response, including the removal of exemptions, compulsory data breach notification and remedy for serious breaches of privacy.
Privacy commissioner Timothy Pilgrim said a bill to amend the Privacy Act is expected to come by mid-2012.
However, Clarke says the reforms have been shuffled around several ministerial hands and now lie with Nicola Roxon, "who as Attorney General would appear to have bigger fish to fry".
Technology neutral
Any reforms to the Privacy Act will be what the government has called 'technology neutral' to protect privacy across any medium.
"So basically what that means is that they are going to be able to apply in the digital world, the online world, as much as they would to traditional, old style paper-based transactions," Pilgrim says.
However, legislators around the world are highlighting a need for technology specific language, according to Anthony Wong, principal of law firm AGW Consulting. For example, the members of the European Union had until 25 May, 2011 to implement a European directive which requires organisations to seek consent for using cookies and similar technologies. The grace period for UK organisations to implement the cookies regulation expire in May this year.
"Fortunately for us, we don't have this problem at this stage in Australia, but that is certainly one aspect of a very particular technology-oriented directive which could have indirect impacts on people's usage and experience of the internet," Wong says.
The privacy commissioner
Clarke is highly critical of the role the privacy commissioner has played to date in enforcing breaches of the Privacy Act.
"The Australian privacy commissioner simply does not do his job, does not take advantage of [the] limited powers he's got. There's highly inadequate powers in his hands [anyway], so he's certainly hamstrung, but he can do a lot more than what he does," Clarke says.
However, the privacy commissioner is expected to be granted with additional powers, including the ability to develop codes for specific industries. Pilgrim says this power would be similar to the code-making power of the Australian Communication and Media Authority Act (ACMA).
"Say new technology comes into use which impacts on how organisations can collect personal information ... What that will allow me to do is say, 'This is a specific area with a particular use of personal information which I think warrants a slightly different type of protection or additional protections'," he says.
An industry could be asked to develop and implement its own codes around a particular technology and organisations will be required to comply with it. If an industry chooses not to develop its own code or an industry association is not in a position to create it, then the privacy commissioner could develop a code.
"I think we're going to see even more rapid growth in technology and the way technology's going to be able to use information, and we're seeing that already in the development of huge, vast arrays of applications ... that we see used, particularly on mobile devices," Pilgrim says.
"I'm sure there's probably going to be a point at which we will see some new technology [come] into play that we think a code will be useful [for]."
The privacy commissioner will also be given the power to make determinations in cases where conciliation between a complainant and company cannot be achieved. This will allow the privacy commissioner to make a finding for financial compensation.
"So, for example, the case at the end of last year that I did, the remedy was that I required the organisation to first of all apologise to the individual. Secondly, in that case, I had them review their training and to show me how they had restructured the training processes for their staff. And thirdly, I awarded the payment of [$7500] compensation," Pilgrim says.
However, Wong says privacy breach cases reaching federal court has so far been rare and compensation has rarely been more than $10,000.
Pilgrim says he will also be able to conduct an own motion investigation against companies when no formal complaint has been made (previously he could not force organisations to make changes, even if they were found to be in breach of the Act).
If a company is found to be in breach of the Privacy Act, the commissioner will be able to order a company to make changes. If it fails to do so, the commissioner will then be able to take the company to court and have the undertakings enforced and seek civil penalties for serious and/or repeated breaches.
The privacy commissioner will have also organisations' security systems and protocols for technology on his radar.
"What has concerned me in the past is that privacy and the protection of personal information is often seen as an add-on at the end, rather than something that's considered upfront when organisations are building large-scale systems to handle the personal information they get in place," he says.
"We have seen a number of cases where there have been some fairly basic flaws in security that, for example, have allowed people to go online ... [where they might have] an account with a particular organisation online, they go into [its] URL and by simply putting in an extra digit at the end, they've found they've been able to find other people's information other than their own."

I usually cook with chicken but I feel like making some ground beef tacos. I know Koreans love their meat quite fatty, so I'm wondering if lean ground beef is commonly available, and if so, what's it called? Thanks Back to top caribmonJoined: 26 Oct 2009 Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:43 am Post subject: it's called ground beef and it is from either USA or NZ at Home Plus in the meat section I'd get the NZ stuff because there's no rBGH in it Back to top JustinCJoined: 10 Mar 2012Location: We Are The World! Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:30 am Post subject: Just take any ground/minced beef, cook it and pour off the fat. Don't pay extra for meat that 'looks' less fatty, if you put it through the mincer twice the fat is more evenly distributed and it looks leaner. Only once you cook it will you know how much fat there is within it.

Cook your meal and let it go cold in the fridge (or the cold verandah in winter) and the fat will rise to the top and set. Scrape the fat off with a spoon and discard. This will give you a no or low fat meal but the ground beef still has a good flavour. I prefer ground beef with 10% fat.
