2 Executive summary Many state and local governments are consolidating IT assets and adopting shared services in order to reduce complex operating environments, cut costs and streamline services. Some also are recognizing the value of using multiple service providers multisourcing to drive down costs through competition and reduce dependence on any single provider. The anticipated efficiencies are real, but integrating and governing multiple IT providers is no easy task. Many CIOs will need assistance in the new multisourcing environment, not just with managing services, but also with transitioning their agencies to the new services model and evolving their internal IT organizations into a more strategic role within government. CGI s model for integrating multiple services provides the needed assistance. As the designated Multisourcing Services Integrator (MSI), CGI serves as the CIO s agent in managing both IT providers and day-to-day delivery of services to agency and citizen customers. In addition, CGI is a partner in helping the CIO s office implement the consolidation plan and long-term transformation of IT services. The government gains the flexibility and efficiencies from having multiple providers, and the CIO and staff can focus on their strategic responsibilities to ensure that IT services serve the business needs of their constituent agencies. This paper presents CGI s blueprint for effectively using the MSI model as a means to helping state and local governments implement their consolidation roadmaps. Consolidation: objectives and challenges Spurred by declining budgets, state and local governments are moving aggressively to consolidate IT resources. State CIOs cited IT consolidation and optimization as their third highest priority in the October 2014 survey by the National Association of State CIOs (NASCIO). 1 Many state and local jurisdictions have ambitious plans to consolidate IT infrastructure and operations, eliminate unnecessary data centers, migrate data and applications to the cloud and centralize services to save money, streamline operations and improve service performance. Consolidation holds enormous promise for achieving these goals, particularly in addressing fiscal pressures, but it also presents significant challenges. CIOs and their staffs must manage day-to-day operations while also executing the consolidation strategy, which can encompass data center consolidation, applications rationalization, server consolidation and even migration to cloud-based services. At the same time, individual agencies may resist the move to a shared-services model, fearing diminished performance and loss of control over IT assets that they previously owned and operated themselves. Consolidation will be slowed and possibly derailed if agencies are not fully persuaded of the benefits. 1 State CIO Priorities for 2015, NASCIO annual survey. 1
3 The Multisourcing Services Integrator (MSI) serves a crucial role on the CIO s team in implementing the consolidation strategy by helping to drive continuous improvement among service providers and by facilitating the smooth transition of agencies gaining their buy-in to the new environment. Consolidation also will transform the CIO office s role and functions from service delivery to service integration. Providers that previously served individual agencies may be centralized as shared services that, in turn, will have to be integrated into a common service management framework. As the state s central IT executive, the CIO will be responsible for ensuring that various providers such as mainframe, server, network, data center and applications support work together to deliver needed service levels and capabilities to each agency. For most government CIOs, becoming an integrator of services rather than a direct service delivery provider will be a new and challenging role. Many state and local CIOs recognize that they do not have the resources or experience to address these challenges on their own. Consequently, they are outsourcing a number of their IT services to commercial providers to support both consolidation objectives and daily services requirements. In addition, they are turning to services integrators to help them manage and integrate providers in this new multisourcing environment. The Multisourcing Services Integrator (MSI) serves a crucial role on the CIO s team in implementing the consolidation strategy by helping to drive continuous improvement among service providers and by facilitating the smooth transition of agencies gaining their buy-in to the new environment. Multisourcing and the MSI The concept of multisourcing, though relatively new for many in the public sector, is a core discipline in the commercial world, where it has been successfully implemented by companies spanning the manufacturing, financial services and consumer industries. Methodologies, best practices and lessons learned have been identified by research firms such as Gartner and Forrester. These studies have documented numerous advantages to using multiple suppliers, rather than relying on a single provider for all components. Multisourcing gives organizations access to best-of-breed providers in each service area. At the same time, competition among providers to win and retain the work spurs lower costs, robust service delivery and ongoing innovation. However, an effective MSI is needed to ensure these benefits are achieved. The service providers are often a combination of internal entities and commercial providers, each with its own culture, capabilities and objectives, and so coordinating and integrating their services in support of enterprise-wide objectives requires an MSI with expertise, experience and effective management tools. The MSI performs multiple roles. It serves as the CIO s agent to coordinate and integrate service delivery. It also serves as an advocate for agency customers to help them resolve issues and obtain the services they need. And the MSI, which can also be one of the service providers, serves as both their partner and manager in integrating services. Multisourcing is built on a network of relationships, and the MSI sits in the hub, facilitating communication and collaboration in the prompt resolution of problems and delivery of services Linda Cohen and Allie Young, Multisourcing: Moving Beyond Outsourcing to Achieve Growth and Agility (Boston, Mass.: Harvard Business School Press, 2006), p. 14.
4 Good governance is essential for effectively managing these relationships. Governance is the collection of oversight and management processes that ensure the government s IT mission goals are being achieved. These include both the day-to-day goals for required IT services and long-term goals related to consolidation and innovation. Governance defines how decisions are made, who makes the decisions, who is held accountable and how the results of those decisions are measured and monitored. 4 Multisourcing governance is the single most important factor in determining success, say Gartner experts. 5 CGI s proven MSI governance framework CGI has developed an MSI governance framework that fosters and sustains the healthy relationships required for successful multisourcing in the public sector. CGI understands the challenges and risks that government CIOs face in consolidating IT resources and transforming services. Not only must providers be integrated and incentivized to reach required service goals, but agency users also must be incentivized to embrace the new model. The governance framework creates a partnership between CGI and the government client in managing IT stakeholders and achieving strategic IT goals. It provides the organizational structures, processes, management tools and expertise to mitigate the risks of consolidation and multisourcing while accelerating the transformation path developed by the CIO. CGI uses this MSI model internally to manage its own multisourcing environment. Multisourcing is built on a network of relationships, and the MSI sits in the hub, facilitating communication and collaboration in the prompt resolution of problems and delivery of services. CGI S FRAMEWORK RESTS ON SEVEN MAJOR BUILDING BLOCKS Each of these building blocks reinforces the others to create the transparency, communication and trust needed for MSI success. 1. Management structure that supports IT leaders and users. CGI establishes an MSI management structure that aligns with the government s organization and processes to oversee strategy, operations and execution of the consolidation and transformation initiative. This includes a high-level Executive Steering Committee consisting of CGI and government executives who meet quarterly to review the MSI role, address governance issues and plan future projects. CGI also assigns an Agency Services Manager to each state agency to serve as a point of contact and advocate for agency users. The managers work closely with their assigned agencies and service providers to address problems quickly, answer questions and maintain service levels. These and other MSI management structures reinforce open communication, accountability, problem resolution and alignment with the government s consolidation plan. 2. Transparency into service costs and performance. Rigorous measurement tools provide transparency into the service providers costs and performance, including real-time performance and return-on-investment metrics reporting. CGI Unify360 provides a single management platform for operations, brokerage, governance and security of on-premises and cloud-based IT services, backed by expert consulting to maximize IT portfolios for better service and competitive advantage. It provides the platform, consulting services, frameworks and practices needed to understand an organization s entire IT portfolio, create cohesive strategies that align IT to business objectives, and maximize IT investments as a result. The solution supports provisioning, configuration, incidents, reporting, billing and workload management for both traditional IT and cloud-based solutions, while providing 100% visibility into the spend, service availability and security postures of all elements in the hybrid IT universe. Overall, it creates an integrated process for customer support and change, asset and request management to provide the precise level of detail needed by the customer. 4 Craig Symons, IT Governance Framework: Structures, Processes, and Communication, Forrester, March 29, 2005, p Multisourcing, p ITIL is a registered trade mark of AXELOS Limited. 3
5 This includes automated and enhanced chargeback processes, a mechanism that passes the costs of shared services back to the agencies that consume those services. This transparency of service costs not only enables the agencies to make better decisions, it also strengthens their support for the new shared services model because they can see the efficiencies and savings. Similarly, it enables the CIO to develop cost-allocation strategies that further build support for shared IT services. 3. Continuous improvement among service providers. Rigorous management tools enable CGI to measure and manage providers performance. For example, CGI has developed a Service Maturity Model that measures the providers process maturity levels, helping providers pursue continuous improvements in service delivery. This and other tools and dashboards provide visibility into service performance, help-desk tracking and reporting, customer satisfaction and other information that strengthens governance. 4. Comprehensive operating-level agreements (OLAs). These agreements define how the service providers will deliver services, how they will interact to implement changes and resolve differences, how they will report their activities and how they will be managed by the MSI. CGI s ITIL-based approach enables the service providers to adopt a common process for collaboration and seamless service delivery. The OLAs institutionalize joint ownership and accountability among the providers, and enable CGI to serve effectively as the government s trusted agent in overseeing service delivery. 5. Comprehensive service-level agreements (SLAs). These agreements define what services will be delivered to the agencies, including the incentives for achieving defined service levels, the consequences when they are not achieved and the means of measurement. CGI is experienced in bringing together agency stakeholders, aligning IT services with agency business needs and creating consensus for moving forward. CGI recognizes that agency buy-in requires a clear definition of the service levels that will be provided, along with equally clear measures and incentives to ensure that SLAs are achieved. 6. Expert services desk. As the single point of contact between the users and the service providers, the services desk is the advocate for customers and users. The CGI service desk utilizes our CGI Unify360 Integrated Service Management toolset. Every incident and service request is tracked to completion and to identify trends and potential enterprisewide problems. In this way, the service desk helps the service providers identify emerging problems and address root causes. Knowledge management tools keep service desk members informed of the latest fixes and work-arounds to assist users. CGI s service desk function has a retention rate well above the industry average, and often provides professional training and development for advancement. The CGI service desk does not simply log and dispatch calls, its members are familiar with each agency s mission and have developed a knowledge base and expertise that enable them to directly and quickly resolve a high percentage of issues, increasing user efficiency and satisfaction. 7. Shared responsibility between the MSI and service providers. Where appropriate, CGI structures the contract so that its compensation, like that of the service providers, is linked to the SLAs. This encourages collaboration and helps build trust between CGI and the providers who know that CGI is incented to help them succeed. 4
6 Conclusion Many state and local governments are looking not just to reduce costs but to also transform operations by consolidating IT resources, adopting shared services and multisourcing. Government leaders are looking to their CIOs to achieve efficiencies that could help them cut budgets without cutting state programs and services. Centralization and multisourcing hold that potential, but also create a difficult challenge for CIOs whose offices must integrate multiple providers in the new environment. The benefits of consolidation are real, but many CIOs recognize that they do not have the experience or resources to become an effective services integrator. CGI s MSI approach can provide CIOs with the support they need to reduce risk in their consolidation initiatives. CGI s governance framework drives continuous improvement among the providers who collaborate in delivering services, resolving problems and offering innovative solutions. The framework also provides agency customers with reliable services and visibility into costs, securing their support and enabling a smooth transition to the consolidated environment because agencies see demonstrated proof of both cost-savings and service improvements. The cost-effective delivery of services will not only help state and local governments address budget concerns, but also will help governments maintain IT services as aging IT workers start to retire over the next decade. Throughout an MSI engagement, CGI serves as a partner with CIOs and their staffs to implement consolidation and sharpen the focus on strategic transformation that benefits both agencies and citizens. Although the concept of multisourcing may be new to many government officials, it is not new to CGI, which has the experience and know-how to help state and local governments achieve their consolidation and optimization goals. IT consolidation involves the interrelated disciplines of data center consolidation, infrastructure consolidation, application portfolio rationalization and multisourcing services integration. CGI has developed competencies and best practices across all of these dimensions to help state and local governments realize the full benefits of their consolidation initiatives. 5

It is near the end of April and we are sitting in Vilcabamba with not much to do and our Ecuadorian visa about to run out. We know we are headed to Peru and make the big decision to get down south to Cuzco and Machu Picchu as quickly as possible before high tourist season kicks in then we'll slowly work our way back up to Ecuador. The problem is that we are really far away from Cuzco. My rough, and probably inaccurate, estimate is that we need to go 1940 km (1205 miles).
For an intriguing take on Vilcabamba, Ecuador click here
View Larger Map
We leave Vilcabamba at 8:00 PM for the city, Loja to catch an 11:00 PM night bus that will take us to Piura, Peru. We get to the border at 3:00 AM and quietly cross without any hassle getting a 90 day visa. At this crazy hour I feel like a smuggler or better yet, Sally Field in Not Without My Daughter.
We arrive at Piura at 8:00 AM a bit strung out from the night bus and disorientated because sometime during the night the landscape changed from green mountains to desert. Being Semana Santa with Easter around the corner, Monday is the earliest that we can get a good priced bus to Lima so we decide to just stick around Piura for the weekend and get acclimated to the nuances of a new country.
|A night procession on Good Friday
Riding Business Class
Peru has many different bus companies of varying quality and service. For our 16 hour ride to Lima we choose a good one. Our large seats - three to a row - recline 160 degrees. There are headphones (so we are not subjected to listen to the driver's movie and music selection), meal service with vegetarian option, tray tables, bingo led by the purser, and wifi. Depending on the route there are even fancier buses that have seats reclining into a 180 degree bed with individual tv screens.
|Only 16 hours to go...
Our bus to Lima also has something that we have never seen on board a bus in Colombia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand. I think they called it a "seat belt." The purser even passed by and made sure that we were using this strange contraption.
Even in the lap of vehicular luxury 16 hours is 16 hours and I am glad when we finally arrive to Peru's capital, Lima.
|Sign up for the frequent rider program
Quickly in the Capital
We spend a three days in Lima almost never leaving Miraflores - a nice neighborhood. It is guaranteed that we'll be back in the city some other time and will do all of the touristy stuff then. So all I will say for now about Lima is that the food is great. Though having come from Ecuador, the lunch menu at a school cafeteria in the USA would feel like a foodie's dream. There is even one restaurant, Astrid y Gaston, in Lima that has just been named the 42nd best restaurant in the world. With entrees around US $20, it seems like a bargain. We try to get in, but they are too full for last minute reservations. Maybe when we return to the big city.
Back to Economy Class
In Lima there is not a central bus station so you have to go to each company's office to ask about tickets. It is a bit annoying, but at least we learn how to manage the city's public transportation system which will come in handy next time we're there. We buy our tickets to leave the next morning on our 24 hour journey to Cuzco.
|Trapped for 24 hrs in this beast
Our seats are large and recline back 160 degrees, but I only sleep about an hour. The passenger behind us has smelly feet too close to our armrest. The obese guy on my right is snoring up a typhoon all night and someone in the back is coughing up his lung. At around 4:00 AM a woman begins complaining loudly in Quechua to her husband about the snoring, fat guy. In the morning we make one pit stop to stretch our legs, brush our teeth and to go #2 for those so inclined.
The International Rambler Travel Tip: In Peru do not skimp on night buses longer than 10 hours. If you absolutely cannot afford to ride in a nicer bus buy yourself some earplugs.

Gift frippery Wedding Workshops
Weddings are very important to everyone involved. Many brides-to-be want to add individual touches to create their special day. This not only keeps the event budget friendly ,it means it's personalised.
After a brief chat (email/phone) where you share your thoughts with me on your chosen style (vintage? Elegant? etc) and colours, I can create a workshop where you can make various trimming, favours etc which you can then go and recreate yourself.
The wedding workshop can be seen as a classy hen-do or just an opportunity for the extended family or the bride and her hens to come together for a unique bonding experience before the big day.
Case Study
"When I booked the workshop I was slightly anxious. I had no ideas about how I wanted my wedding to be but I hoped this workshop was a good start! I knew I wanted all the special touches but I didn't know what they could be. I'm not that creative but Amanda really helped me. I felt she understood me from the previous email conversations we had. The colours I wanted were the main starting point and the second one was that I wanted a natural, understated but fun , individual wedding...nothing too showy.
I invited my bridesmaids, my mother in law to be, mother and grandmas. It was a lovely bonding time and an easy way for everyone to feel included and like they'd contributed to the actual day. One bridesmaid hadn't met anyone in the group before so it was a really great way to introduce her!
The atmosphere was lovely..really fun, and it actually was the beginning of me feeling excited instead of nervous about the wedding day. We used lots of the ideas that were suggested by Amanda. The good thing is you learn to make a selection of things and she has so many good ideas.
We could have had a follow up workshop and in hindsight I wished I'd done this.
I'll definitely go back with my girlfriends at some point to do Amanda's gift wrapping workshop. Awesome!"

Xbox boss Phil Spencer took to Twitter this afternoon with good news for Xbox and Windows 10 gamers.
After the cancellation of Xbox One exclusive Scalebound last week, Xbox's Phil Spencer has been talkative with the community on Twitter. Today, less than one week before launch, Spencer revealed that Resident Evil 7 Biohazard would be an Xbox Play Anywhere title.
RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard confirmed for @Xbox Play Anywhere – buy once, play on both Xbox One & @Windows 10 PC. https://t.co/yhcwjEnjla
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) January 18, 2017
As a Play Anywhere title, gamers who purchase the game on Xbox One or Windows 10 will be able to buy the game once and play it on both Xbox One and their Windows 10 PC. For those out of the loop, Play Anywhere also means the game will have saves that go back and forth between consoles meaning you can play on your desktop and move to your console without losing any progress. Additionally, Resident Evil 7, like all other games in Play Anywhere, will share one common achievement system.
It's somewhat surprising to see this announcement for a couple reasons. One, with less than a week until the game hits retail and digital marketplaces, it's an odd time to reveal a pretty big perk for buying Resident Evil 7 on a Microsoft platform. And two, Resident Evil 7's publisher Capcom didn't allow last month's Xbox and Windows 10 timed-exclusive Dead Rising 4 to be a Play Anywhere title. Perhaps there was something with the way Dead Rising 4 was built prevented Play Anywhere, but nontheless, it's great to see Capcom had a change of heart/reached an agreement with Microsoft.
Regardless of the circumstances, surely Xbox and Windows 10 gamers will be thankful this option exists when Resident Evil 7 Biohazard launches next week on Jan. 24.

MUSKOGEE, Okla. — It was Central Christian College's finest hour to date in terms of the new Sooner Athletic Conference.
The Tigers posted their first-ever soccer sweep on Thursday with road successes at Bacone College.
• Central men 3, Bacone 2 — A golden goal by Gabriel Flores in the game's 92nd minute improved the Tigers to 2-3-1 in the SAC and 9-4-1 overall.
CCC scored back-to-back goals for a 2-1 lead after Bacone put a goal on the board first. Reece Stewart scored for the Tigers, assisted by Joshua Taylor. Flores notched the second goal, with Taylor again assisting.
Bacone scored just 3 minutes after Flores' first goal and the teams then played on even terms until the OT.
"This game was about being men," CCC coach Aaron Hoxie said. "Given the travel plans, heat, guys on injuries and physical play, we were men. There was no complaining, only 'yes sir I'll give more moments' and they did it. We'll pay for it Saturday, but we came on this trip for 1 point, and we got 3 out of it so far. But the players were fantastic and they deserve all the praise."
The Tigers make another long trip on Saturday as they play John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Ark.
• Central women 4, Bacone 0 — It was like old times for the Central women, who have been off their form this season after a couple of outstanding years.
The Central women had gone nearly a month without a win, but are now 1-4 in the SAC and 4-9 overall as it was their first-ever SAC win.
"I'm proud of the way we defended today," Central coach Scott Fogarty said. "We finally got that elusive shutout and did it using a team effort defending in numbers. Goldie (Bougher) played great in net for us. After a slow start to her season, she's starting to find the form that helped her to being All-Region last year. Even though the stats will say they outshot us, a majority of their shots came from way out."
Bougher had 12 saves in goal.
Freshman Christina Hall had a big game for Central with two goals, while Kaitlyn Bevel and Rachel Meier scored singletons. Bevel and Meier also had assists.
Central plays at No. 20 John Brown on Saturday.

Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:21 AM
The Justice Department has agreed to pay $4.1 million to a California college student left in a Drug Enforcement Administration holding cell last year, according to two people familiar with the case.
Daniel Chong was detained in an April 2012 drug raid in San Diego and left in a windowless holding cell for four days without food or water. He says he drank his own urine to stay alive.
The people familiar with the case spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the settlement before it is officially announced. His attorney filed a $20 million claim against the government last year.
Chong, who was attending University of California, San Diego, was at a friend's house in April 2012 when a DEA raid netted 18,000 ecstasy pills, other drugs and weapons. Chong and eight others were taken into custody.
Agents told Chong he would not be charged and had him wait in the 5-by-10-foot cell at DEA offices in San Diego. The door did not reopen for four days, when agents found him severely dehydrated and covered in his own feces.
Chong said he began to hallucinate on the third day. He urinated on a metal bench to drink his urine. He stacked a blanket, his pants and shoes on the bench and tried to reach an overhead fire sprinkler, futilely swatting at it with his cuffed hands to set it off.
Chong said last year that he gave up and accepted death. He bit into his eyeglasses to break them. He said he used a shard of glass to carve "Sorry Mom" onto his arm so he could leave something for her. He managed to finish an "S."
Chong was hospitalized five days for dehydration, kidney failure, cramps and a perforated esophagus. He lost 15 pounds.
The DEA issued a rare public apology at the time.

Omar Khalidi- A Campaigner of Social Justice of Indian Muslims
Syed Ali Mujtaba
The untimely death of the Cambridge based scholar Dr. Omar Khalidi is quite shocking. He was 57. Preliminary reports suggest that he was fatally struck by a subway trolley near the Kendall Square station in Cambridge, USA.
He was working at MIT and left behind his wife and daughter. I have known to him for his unending passion for the pursuit of social justice of Muslims in India. My deepest condolences go to his family.
Dr. Khalidi was born in Hyderabad and was the son of Professor Abu Nasr Khalidi, a well known scholar of Arabic and Islamic studies at Osmania University. He got his BA from Wichita State University, ALM from Harvard University School of Extension Studies and PhD from University of Wales-Lampeter, UK.
I have come to know about Dr Khalidi when I was in Hyderabad working as reporter in 1995-6 and also researching on the princely state and Partition of India. I was fresh with my doctoral work "The Partition of India and British policy 1940-45." I had read his work "The fall of Hyderabad," that graphically brings out the police action against the princely state of Hyderabad and the atrocities committed against the Muslims in its aftermath.
I contacted Dr Khalidi at his e mail address (email@example.com) and he responded to me immediately. Though my project was indefinitely postponed but my contact with him remained intact.
He was in Chennai in 2002 and stayed at Chola Sheraton and we had a late evening conversation on the theme Indian Muslims that went on till the wee hours and we both needed a bad sleep still the talk remained inconclusive.
We talked about Muslim publications in India the defunct 'One Nation Chronicle' rechristened 'Nation and the World.' We talked about Mili Gazatee, Muslim India, role of Syed Shahabuddin in Babri Masjid, role of Syed Hamid in education and Hamadard University. We talked about M.J. Akbar and Seema Mustafa and Sultan Shahin and many others.
Our conversation did touch up Hyderabad, and we talked about Prince Mukaram Jah, the fabled Falaknuma, Chomohalla and the Nazri Bagh Palaces. The Telegana politics too came up for a thought.
Dr Khaladi, was more of a researcher than an armed chair commentator. He had advised me not to loose track of research and base my submissions on hard facts.
To hammer home the point, hard facts should be the only arrow, in one's quiver, he told me, adding he had all the copies of Muslim India, because it contains huge data to rely upon.
Among several of his work, the one we talked was "Romance of the Golconda Diamonds." He explained that in the state of Golconda that was later absorbed in Mughal India mining activity for diamonds once flourished.
Dr Khalidi did a interview with me that day on his pet topic the current status of Indian Muslims. He was amused to hear me say that a middle class is fast emerging among contemporary Indian Muslim community and this is happening at breath neck speed after the liberalization of the Indian economy since 1990s.
Now India Muslim youth are not much interested in going to Gulf countries for jobs as they did so in the 1970s and 80s. They prefer to stay back in India where there exists an ample opportunity to make a living. I told him after liberalization, the general discrimination theory does not work, the entrepreneurs mostly Hindus do not have any inhibition in recruiting Muslims, because they are hardworking, honest and upright.
Dr Khalidi was bemused; perhaps my thoughts did not fit into discriminatory stereotype. I remember him talking about Muslim presidents of India that were to show to the world that Indian Muslims are not discriminated but then do a head count in the government and private offices and you will get a real picture of Muslim discrimination.
I told him now, this is no more the case, the software industry, so many other industries which is driving the Indian economy, has countless Muslim youth in its folds and they are doing well in privatized corporate Indian economy.
I remember Dr Khalidi asking me to give him contacts in various India cities, so that he can do a survey on this issue through his questioners and promised to pay those who get involved with him in this project. I think he may have incorporated these points in his book is "Muslims in Indian Economy" published in December 2005.
Dr. Khalidi will be remembered for his courage in taking on issues that others feared to tread. .He was known for his commitment to the cause of justice and fairness for Indian Muslims.
His last article was on the recent Babari Masjid judgment was seminal. He lambasted the Archilogical survey of India (ASI) that provided the clinching evidence for the 'learned' judgment. Read through the link- "ASI: Hindutva's handmaiden." http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?267374
Dr. Khalidi was a pioneer in the field of research on Indian Muslims and contemporary Indian politics. He left behind him a monumental legacy that had a significant impact on the political landscape of India and a multitude of people were motivated and inspired by his work.
He authored the much acclaimed book "Khaki and Ethnic Violence in India: Armed Forces, Police and Paramilitary During Communal Riots". The book is in its second edition, revised and enlarged edition came out in December 2009.
As an independent scholar his research interests were in the sociology of politics, upward and downward economic mobility of ethnic groups, nationalism and diaspora and Islamic architecture.
His other works include 'Indian Muslims since Independence', 1996, and edited 'Hyderabad: After the Fall', 1988, a collection of academic papers.
He is the author of several articles on Islamic architecture like "Approaches to Mosque Design in North America" and "Import, Adapt, Innovate: Mosque Design in the United States."
Even though he was based in the US he had the pulse of Indian Muslims in his hand. He could fearlessly speak about the discrimination of Indian Muslims and he supported this with hard facts, be it the head count of Muslims in Indian Defence forces or in the news rooms.
Passing away of Dr Omer Dr. Khalidi is a great loss to Indian Muslim. He lived every moment in India.Perhaps the best way to carry forward his legacies would be to create a chair in his name in any of the Indian university to carry out research on the social issues of Indian Muslims. It may be a humble way to pay tribute to late Dr. Khalidi.
Syed Ali Mujtaba is journalist based in Chennai. He can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com

Today I met Lara and Molly and Cat in Midland for a cuppa. What a wonderful way to spend the morning. It is such a different way to make friends this blogging thing - not through work or children but through a genuine common interest and feeling that these people will be like-minded.
I went home feeling inspired and chirpy at having made new friends and feeling that there are many good times ahead to be had with them.
Like Molly I got busy upon my return and Elder Munchkin and I hurriedly picked a large bag of tangelos whilst the parrots squawked obscenities at us. They were made into a tangelo dessert that we (hubby and I) love, and I'll have a go at freezing (if it even tastes half as good down the track that'll be ok) and the rest will go into more tangelo butter tomorrow since our Munchkins have already eaten all of ours.
Cat I know you aren't keen on Lemon butter so I'll leave you out - but Molly and Lara, you'll have a small jar each next time we meet. I'm not saying small to be stingy - it doesn't seem to matter how big a batch I think I'm making it never quite seems to fill 2 jars!
In any case if anyone's interested here's the recipe for the Tangelos (I got it from the Internet but can't remember where - it was a while ago). This makes a divine dessert - strong in flavour, more suited to an adult palate I must say (the munchkins aren't keen on it).
Tangelo Dessert
5 tangelos or oranges

Gravy Boat, Taylor Smith & Taylor, English Abbey, Fairway, Embossed, Blue and Cream Colored, Fine China
A charming gravy boat by Taylor Smith and Taylor (TS&T). The shape is called Fairway and the pattern is called English Abbey. This bowl is embossed with a floral design and the pattern is English Country Scenes in blue against a cream colored base. This piece is heavily crazed but it would make a great display piece or vase with flowers.

8 inches from spout to handle
3 1/2 inches in width
This bowl is in good condition. It shows it's years of use and love. There are no chips or cracks but there is pronounced crazing over the entire piece. There is some browning caused by dampness getting through the crazing. Our price reflects these defects.

W3ell done indeed to the lucky winnersReplyDelete
Entirely my pleasure Sir, hope to have it in the post tomorrow for you.ReplyDelete
Bad part: I did not win.ReplyDelete
Good part: both Leif and Jocke (The Miniatures Man) are in my game group so whatever they choose, I will get to play with it, and I won't even have to paint it!
Woohooo! Thank's a bunches. And the Leven mill looks even better than the other one.ReplyDelete
@ Thomas, I think you won in a rather nice way, good for you and I had no idea all three of you were from the same group, that is some coincidence.ReplyDelete
@ Leif, yes the Leven one is much better, I love the colours I was able to use and really look forward to basing it up. I now have the new German buildings painted up and on this blog and when I have all of them painted up they will be stunning.
Hooray! I won, and cool terrain. Couldn't be better!ReplyDelete
Thanks a lot. Looking forward to this.
I'm actually a double winner, as I will see Leif's buildings on my gaming table. Double win for the group!

Hi Boki,
Using: TNextVirtualGrid6
Column Editing is working fine when using AutoEditing (FALSE)
But if I set AutoEditing to TRUE there is a lot happening.
- After one click Edit is started but I have set 'SecondClickEditing' to TRUE.
+ After ENTER you can Edit the column below, that's OK.
- After ESC and then use cursor up or down the next column is directly in Edit mode and I don't want that!
- When you are on the last Row the ESC doesn't work anymore.
Can you fix this?
Question: Is it possible to set my own colors for Editing?

Exotic Vacation in the wilderness
Myanmar mountain vacation
Have a break in a very exotic ASEAN country.
When visiting many variants are available such as at the beach, adventure, cultural, island, fishing and mountain trekking plus more. People dream about the whole year to make an exotic trip, for a break which brings fun and improves the moods to pull up spirit and health. Start thinking about naturally the first is where to travel?
Climate and temperatures are about Jan 27°c, Feb 31°, Mar 35°, Apr 37°, May 36°, Jun 33°, (monsoon starts) Jul 33°, Aug 33°, Sep 32°, Oct 31°, (monsoon ends) Nov 29°, Dec 27°.
Take a few days at an exotic coast getaway or island in the Andaman Sea, maybe the Bay of Bengal. At Ngapali, Chaungtha and Ngwe Saung, this is real quality time for singles or with family.
Trek the mountains of the north or maybe just climb up Mount Popa near Bagan when you come to the country, it might be useful since there are plenty of not so excellent things; one is continuous electricity cuts, although most hotels have their own generator, read more.

The best probably would be to combine a culture oriented trip with a fresh environment in a pleasant climate range at Inle Lake in Shan State.

a pleasure for your eyes and mind. A pretty accommodation there is golden Island cottages built on stilts right

Holiday Photos
To the beach in this Southeast Asian country is not like going to Florida or Thailand.
This country was hidden away and closed for almost a century, the last people holidaying here were some British during colonial times and after a few Russians and East Germans read more.
A trip to Mandalay
is a must when in the country because of that quite different to other places especially in terms of culture plus arts and crafts including amazing pagodas temples and monuments. With exceptional sights around the Mandalay Mahamuni complex, the palace and hill read more.

Trek the mountains of the north or maybe just climb up Mount Popa near Bagan when you come to the country, it might be useful to take a couple of things with you.

A holiday trip to the Kyaiktyio Pagoda
One of the best day tours from Yangon is a visit to this shrine.
Traveling to the Kyaiktyio Pagoda is via Bago and into the blue mountain ranges of Mon State on the border to Thailand. This is about 170 kilometers by rail or road from Yangon, there is also a bus.
On the first leg to Bago are already some very great sightseeing spots one is the Kyaikpun Pagoda with the four Buddhas.
After it's an 15 kilometers ride to the base camp. Until here the whole surface is not bad, between the town and the starting point to get up into the mountain are several hotels among them the "Mountain View resort" a nice clean place between rubber
[Along the road] plantings. From here it's another 12 km ascend up to mountain top. Since the road is very narrow always one batch of vehicles move up and wait after the other drive down.
[A pics of the Mountain View resort]
This is one of the top pilgrim targets in the country and it is really amazing what's up here.
Theoretically his could be done by a day trip from Yangon but it is better to stay overnight because of the road condition it needs to have some spare time. This is also a drive through the Irrawaddy Delta.
[Irrawaddy delta]

[Kyaiktiyo or golden rock pagoda]
Kyaiktiyo or golden rock pagoda
The golden Rock Shrine
is built on a gilded boulder with 25 meters circumference. Legend tells the whole is balanced in this precarious position by an original hair from the Buddha. The rather, around 7 meters high structure small 18-foot-high Kyaiktiyo or golden Rock Pagoda is located near the Thai border town of Mae Sot on an elevation of 1100 meters above sea level.
For Myanmar outdoor enthusiasts
the ultimate kick probably would be a trek up to the top but it really needs good physical condition to do that. Actually the main problem is the heat and snakes both are of high amount.
Most people do the trail in the loading bay of a small truck and the last 1.5 km must be done on foot or maybe not. Bamboo sedans balanced on the shoulder of 4 guys would be an alternative; this is very popular by "Fatty Bum Bum Chinese".
Legend tells that in the 11th century King Tissa of Thaton got a strand of the Buddha's hair from an hermit on condition that to enshrined them in a pagoda built on a boulder looking somehow similar to the hermit's head. Since nobody found such a place they prayed to Thagyamin the king of the Nats and help came instantly. They found a suitable boulder at the bottom of the Andaman Sea and lifted it up to the top of the mountain.

Five Fins swimmers qualified for the Scottish National Short Course Championships held at the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh from Friday to Sunday.
The standard of entry was extremely high with numerous Olympic and Commonwealth medallists on show, from both north and south of the border, plus a very strong club from Belgium which included a current Belgian record holder.
Personal bests were hard to come by for Fins swimmers, with just six from the 16 swims they competed in.
However it is very difficult to maintain an ongoing improvement at this level and all bar two of the swims were either PBs or less than one second outside.
Fins top swimmer was Greg Watson who, although still a Fins' member, now competes at the top level competitions for Edinburgh University.
The 19-year-old qualified through to two 'A' finals finishing seventh in the 50m butterfly with a 0.37 second PB in a time of 24.94 seconds and eighth in the 50m freestyle, just two one hundredths of a second outside his PB and club record which he set in November.
In the 50m butterfly Greg set a new Fins club record beating his own time that he set in the same competition in 2013.
Greg had another club record at the weekend but despite a PB of 1.33 seconds he did not manage to make the 'B' final of the 100m freestyle.
His time of 51.22 seconds beat the previous Fins record set by Scottish Schools internationalist, Nathan Lamond, at Glenrothes in May 2004, by 1.20 seconds.
The largest improvement of the weekend came from 17-year-old Thomas Farrell who reduced his previous best time for the 100m backstroke by 2.15 seconds, which is quite an improvement to make at this level.
The other swimmers who qualified for the Championships were: Callum MacGregor (16), Greg Turner (16) and Kieran Pate (17).
