PK to Sarfarosh: Aamir Khan's 5 films with a cause and message
bollywood Updated: Nov 26, 2015 08:16 IST
All hell broke loose after one of Bollywood's most outspoken and successful actors, Aamir Khan, complained of rising religious intolerance in the country and revealed that his family contemplated moving abroad because of the recent spike in communal conflicts.
Amid a torrent of attacks — some outright abusive, such as branding him a traitor — by BJP leaders and Hindu right-wing groups, the 50-year-old actor known for his social activism remained defiant. He stood by his comments, and asserted through a statement on Wednesday that he doesn't need any endorsement or permission for his views.
A look at his work over the years reveals his strong, independent opinion on various ills afflicting society. From playing a wide-eyed alien wobbling though India's religious web in PK, that ran to packed houses even in China, to highlighting sensitive issues such as female foeticide, rape and corruption through a popular television show, Satyamev Jayate, Khan has earned the reputation of being an actor with a social conscience.
Read: Aamir Khan asks his wife Kiran to stay away from Mumbai
Here's a list of five movies where his social messages stood out and left a lasting impression.
1. Sarfarosh (1999)
Besides being a thriller with Aamir playing tough cop ACP Rathore on the trail of gunrunners from Pakistan, the movie touches upon issues festering India's unique social fabric. The upright Hindu officer's closest ally is inspector Salim (played by Mukesh Rishi), but the department is reluctant to trust a Muslim officer.
Patriotism and communal harmony pour out from every pore in a scene where Rathore reacts to Salim's accusations that he was not considered for the assignment because he's a Muslim. He explains why religious conflicts should not come in way of duty.
2. Lagaan (2001)
Aamir as Bhuvan, the country bumpkin with an attitude. And not only that, he accepts a challenge to play the English and beat them in their own game of cricket to win tax concessions for his village. He achieves the impossible with a ragtag team; the hidden weapon being the village scavenger born with a twisted arm turning the tide as his key bowler. The metaphor was not lost — David versus Goliath. But it was his motivational speech to his folk that underpins the message: the strength in unity.
3. Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005)
Khan plays 1857 freedom struggle hero Mangal Pandey in this Ketan Mehta film which narrates the story of the first uprising against British rule. "Yeh azaadi ki ladai hai ... ghuzre hue kal se azaadi ... aane waale kal ke liye," Pandey tells fellow soldiers in Meerut as he inspires them to rise against the British masters.
4. Rang De Basanti (2006)
Impressed with the story of the Indian freedom struggle, a foreign filmmaker arrives in India and selects some youngsters to play important characters in her film. During the shooting, youngsters led by Khan as DJ, starts experiencing an inward journey which make them understand the true meaning of freedom. It gives them moral strength when they stand tall opposite some mighty politicians.
Aamir as PK — a non-blinking, paan-chewing alien lost in India's socio-religious labyrinth — explores paradoxes that surface every day in the form of godman, sycophantic devotees, thieves and riff-raffs. For all these he had a simple name, 'wrong number'. "Kaun Hindu, kaun Musalman ... thappa kidhar hai dikha ... ye farak bhagwan nahi tum log banaya hai ... aur yahi is gola ka sabse danger wrong number hai."

Virgil van Dijk seals 'perfect' move to Liverpool from Southampton
By Press Association
Last Updated: 01/01/18 10:21am
Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool is the "perfect match" after his world record move from Southampton was officially completed on New Year's Day.
The 26-year-old's £75m switch from the Saints was agreed on December 27, but with the January transfer window now open, his deal - the highest fee ever paid for a defender - is now sealed.
The Dutchman told the club's website: "With the history at the club and everything around it - even the training ground and stuff - it is just a perfect, perfect match for me, and for my family as well.
"Obviously there is a lot of money being paid, but I can't do anything about that money. It's only the market.
"The only thing I can do is just work hard, do the good things and be 100 per cent every day. That's what I definitely want to do - and I am going to do."
The agreed fee for Van Dijk is a world-record sum for a defender, topping Manchester City's deal to sign Kyle Walker in July.
Van Dijk was keen on a move last summer and handed in a transfer request at St Mary's, but Liverpool ended their pursuit when the Saints complained they had made an illegal approach for the centre-back.
Working under Jurgen Klopp is a prospect that excites the club's new number four.
The former Groningen and Celtic defender added: "Since he [Klopp] has come in, I think he has made a lot of progress until now and I think it is only hopefully going to get better and better.
"Hopefully I can contribute to that as well and keep working hard. Everybody obviously from a Liverpool perspective knows how he is; how lively he is, how he can make players better and give them confidence as well.
"It just suits me as well. I think he can make me a better player and I am just looking forward to working with him."
Van Dijk is unavailable for Liverpool's New Year's Day game at Burnley as his registration will not be concluded in time.

Let Me Introduce You To MMA Fighter Vitor Belfort
Success. High Expectations. Defeat. Doubt. Personal Turmoil. Injury. Family Tragedy. These have all be a regular part of the life of Vitor Belfort over the past 10 or so years. Most people know Vitor as a streak-ridden MMA powerhouse who, when he is on, has the fastest hands in fighting. Some know him as a man who has buckled under pressure a few times in his career. Most feel as if they don't really know who Vitor is… and are hoping that they learn more this Saturday night.
He was originally known as Victor Gracie, quasi adopted son of Carlson Gracie. But using the family name didn't work well for Vitor and he wasn't accepted as a Gracie by many others in the family. So just in time for his UFC debut, he was introduced as Vitor Belfort. His life has been tumultuous and very, very interesting. The struggles he has overcome and the pain he has endured is immense. It is enough to make anyone desire to be a Vitor fan.
I cannot tell you how excited I am for the Middle Weight Championship fight this weekend. Two of the best middle weights in the history of MMA will compete to decide who really is the best. And I've had a very hard time making my pick. It looks like most of the 'experts' are giving a slight edge to the champ Anderson Silva, especially after the stare down today at the UFC press conference that can be viewed right here on cagepages.com. But I am giving the edge to Vitor.
I am giving him this edge because I believe he has finally dealt with the doubt and internal struggle that has haunted him for much of his career. And if I'm right, we will see the crowning of a new Middle Weight Champ this Saturday night. If you would like to know why I think Vitor is finally level… watch the video below. It shows Vitor Belfort in a completely different light. I hope it helphoto courtesy of mmabay.com

I hate having my picture taken! Can you help with that?
First off, you're not alone. Most people (and yep, that includes actors!) don't like having their picture taken either!
Secondly, I'll send you out some homework to get you prepared so that you don't go blank when you get in front of the camera.
And thirdly, I'll direct you throughout the shoot. I'll give you things to think about and emotions to draw on when you need them.
If you're a newbie then you're in safe hands. Don't worry, you'll be fine!
How can I book and do you take a deposit?
You can book through the booking system attached to my website. It's here.
I ask for a £50 deposit which guarantees you the spot. It's fully refundable if you cancel at least 72 hours before the shoot. The balance is payable by bank transfer on the day of the shoot.
Where's your studio?
Room 304 Kindred Studios, 18 Saltram Crescent
Queens Park, London W9 3HW
Google Map link HERE.
It's a 10 minute walk from Queen's Park tube station. It's in a huge Victorian school building. You can't miss it!
If you arrive at the building early the receptionist will sign you in and you can wait in the café or at reception.
Please don't come up to the studio until the time of your session as I could be shooting someone else and I don't have a separate waiting area.
Can I park at the studio?
There's paid parking on the street outside the studio building. It's quite reasonable. Best to pay for 2.5 hours to be safe.
What about hair and make-up?
The rule of thumb for headshots is that you want to look as you would turning up for an audition. So, whilst hair is important to get right, we don't want to over-stress about it's importance. Similarly with make-up, keep it fairly natural. A casting director wants to see you, not you hidden behind a wall of make-up. Bear in mind also that the final shots will be retouched. This means that your skin will look fabulous regardless so go easy on the make-up.
What clothes should I bring?
Plain tops work best. Black is a winnrer and works with all skin tones. Dark greys work well too. I'm not a fan of white in headshots as it draws the eye and takes attention off the face. It also washes out lighter skin tones.
Essential if have blue or green eyes to bring a top that matches your eye colour. You'll be amazed how much just a hint of these colours will help your eyes to 'pop'!
V-necks are good too as they bring the viewers' eyes to your face. However, go with whatever neckline you feel confident in – some people are t-shirt wearers, some aren't. Shirts with collars can be useful but too much of a collar can tell too much of a story.
Nicely fitted, simple tops are best. Logos and busy patterns aren't.
Jackets and coats can be nice. Again, they can tell a bit of a story but can add some mood and drama when needed.
If in doubt, bring it and we can edit down before we start. As a general guide I ask people to bring 4 to 5 tops.
Bring what you feel your most confident in. We want you to feel good!
Can I shave during the shoot?
Sure thing. I'd probably avoid a wet shave as it can leave red marks but take it down low, no problem.
How long is the shoot?
I allow 2 hours. Experience has shown me that this is an ideal length and allows for a relaxed but focused session. If we need to go over then we'll go over but 2 hours is usually perfect.
Do I keep all the images?
No. You get all the images held an online gallery for the next 2 years. The only images you keep are the retouched ones you order. It's standard practice and means that only images that show our best work are out there in the public arena.
You get 3 final images retouched and any more can be ordered for an additional £18 per image.
When will I receive the images?
The images are uploaded to an online gallery that you are sent a link too within 24 hours.
Please allow 3 working days for retouched images to be processed.
Do you make a decent cup of tea?
I like to think so but you can be the judge of that!

New Delhi, Nov 27: Moody's today said India rating outlook is stable because of the country's strong economic growth along with high savings and investment rates.
"India's Baa3 rating and stable outlook are supported by credit strengths which include a large, diverse economy, strong GDP growth and savings, and investment rates that exceed emerging market averages," the global rating agency said in its 'Credit Analysis on India' report.
It, however, said the rating is constrained by the credit challenges posed by India's poor social and physical infrastructure, low per capita income, high government deficit and debit ratio.
The rating has also been constrained due to the country's complex regulatory environment and a tendency towards inflation, Moody's added.
The government aims to restrict the fiscal deficit to 5.3 per cent of GDP this fiscal. It has also announced a slew of measures to spur infrastructure development and liberalised foreign direct investment norms.
"However, given the delayed timing and still modest scope of these measure, growth may remain subdued in the near term amid continued domestic political uncertainty and a global slowdown," Moody's added.
The agency said its stable outlook on India's rating is based on "our expectations that India's structural strengths -- a high household savings rate and relatively competitive private sector -- will ultimately raise the GDP growth rate from around 5.4 per cent in FY 2013 to 6 per cent or higher in FY 2014..."
In October, Standard & Poor's had said that there was one in three likelihood of rating downgrade for India within 24 months if the economic growth prospects dim, its external position deteriorates, its potential climate worsens, or fiscal reforms slow.
Earlier in April, S&P had changed the rating outlook of India from stable to negative, reflecting the possibility of a downgrade.

Since we got home it's been sunny sunny sunny! It was almost 60 degrees when we got here on Saturday. For me, that's a breath of fresh air...for my husband (bless his heart) it means the end of winter is near...in other words, the end of ski season is near. Oh well! The garlic I planted this last fall is bursting through the ground and my rhubarb has started to sprout up as well! I just LOVE it when these little promises of spring burst out of the ground. You never know when you actually plant something if it will actually produce something so when it actually shows up green months later, there is something so satisfying about it. I think without the waiting in between I wouldn't appreciate it so much!

SAIC-SAMS knowledge exchange day18th October 2016
By Don Fowler, Aquaculture Innovation Manager at SAIC
Being an Aquaculture Innovation Manager at the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC) involves a diverse range of activities, including raising awareness of what SAIC does and why; the priority innovation actions set out by our industry-led Board; and the types of projects that SAIC can and cannot fund.
Recently, I was invited to give a presentation on exactly these kinds of topics to two separate audiences at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban.
SAMS aquaculture group
The first presentation was to the SAMS aquaculture group; a mix of professors, principal investigators, post-docs, MSc students and undergraduates with an interest in the latest aquaculture activities and research. It resulted in a really stimulating roundtable discussion covering everything from industry priorities and the potential for expansion in both shellfish and finfish, to SAIC's existing project portfolio and possible new collaborations.
In return, Professor Kenny Black, Principal Investigator in Marine Ecology, took to the floor to provide myself, my fellow Aquaculture Innovation Manager Robin Shields and the wider group with an overview of SAMS' work in the areas of HABS, marine spatial planning and social interactions with aquaculture, along with sharing his experiences of working with SAIC on co-funded projects.
All in all, it made for a really useful two-way exchange, and also gave myself and Robin the opportunity to tour the SAIC-HATCH experimental set-up – one of the 13 projects that SAIC is co-funding.
MSc aquaculture students
The second presentation was to students on the SAMS Aquaculture MSc programme; a session that proved to be every bit as insightful.
Between them, the 20-strong group of 2016/17 MScs represent over 17 different countries, reflecting that aquaculture is a truly global industry with an appetite for learning from the specialist aquaculture knowledge that resides in Scotland.
Following a short presentation on the innovative work already underway in Scottish aquaculture, we divided the class into three groups and tasked them with the icebreaker of identifying the critical issues surrounding future innovation.
Each group was then given an example innovation scenario at a different stage – enquiry, expression of interest or full proposal – and asked whether they would have approved the project to the next stage, based on considerations such as industry and market needs, TRL, scientific merit, collaboration and level of funding support.
The outputs and insights from each group were as impressive as they were carefully considered, demonstrating that the students had not only understood the scenario in question but had begun viewing innovation as a creative and collaborative process as opposed to something that's purely technological.
Equally positive, after the workshop several students enquired about industrial placements – enquiries that we hope to follow up with them over coming weeks.

|Ndifreke Joseph Clement
Clement said he slit his cousin's throat after beating him to coma because Edet slept with his girlfriend in......
August 2015.
After Ndifreke turned himself in and was question his motive for killing cousin, He said:
"I cannot remember the exact date now, but it occurred in a night in August 2015 in the one room apartment we shared. On that day, I returned from work to meet the door locked. "I knocked on the door and waited for over five minutes before my cousin could come to open the door. When I went into the room, I saw my girlfriend weeping and blood running from her nostrils.
He further said; "I asked her what happened and she said Ubong beat, wounded and forcefully had sex with her. But after opening the door for me, Ubong went away and did not come back until very late in the night.
Drop a comment....thanks!

Zoetrope: From the Greek ζωή - zoe, "life" and τρόπος - tropos, "turn". May be taken to mean "wheel of life".
Tuesday, 21 April 2015
So first of all, a big thank you to writers Tom Huddleston, Sally Green and Josh Winning, cat-herder Rosie Fletcher (otherwise known as the moderator) and writer pals Liz de Jager and C.J. Daugherty for making my London Book Fair experience a really fun one.
Our panel was packed full and apparently people were queuing half-way down the mezzanine level to get in. Wonder Editor and Super Agent, who were already at the fair, hard at work, and came along to offer their support, both had to flex their muscles at the doorman to get in. Which is just what you want, and especially satisfying because I think the panel itself offered some really valuable and thoughtful discussion. If anyone feels like inviting me back next year, I'd definitely be interested!
And now, somewhat belatedly, I'm announcing another book and writing related event which is going to take place on Saturday the 9th of May. I'm going to be taking part in the Lincoln Inspired Festival, doing another panel event on Reading and Writing YA, followed by a book signing, at The Collection (a fascinating art museum) in Lincoln at 1:30pm.
The other panelists will be the lovely Kerry Drewery whom I'm very much looking forward to meeting again, and two other local writers, Georgia Twynham and and Cassandra Parkin. Tickets for this and many other events over the course of the weekend are on sale now - you can get details and find the numbers to call to get tickets in this leaflet. Lincoln is an absolutely beautiful town, filled with fascinating shops, historical buildings, and my favourite tea shop in the world, so if you live nearby do hop on the train or bus or organise a car-ride and come down to take part in the Festival. Remember that if you're a Dear Reader, there is always an extremely loving welcome waiting for you from me (provided you tell me who you are, which, as we have discussed in the past, is A Rule).
And now for my promised list of my top six songs by male artists or male led bands!
And here, the Spotify playlist with male/female songs together, plus a few songs that almost nearly not quite made the cut:

Reading this made me feel a bunch of emotions! I'm so sorry you're still poorly, and I say again that I hope you feel better soon. I'm happy for you that the London thing went well, and that you've got another event coming up, but I'm sad that I have missed/will miss both of them! Also your music choices are excellent. :)

Rachel: Thank you, my lovely! The worst thing right now is what my doctor calls 'post-infection fatigue' which basically means I feel tired, tired, tired, even when all I do all day is lie around coughing and putting eyedrops in. Eugh.

I am so pleased to know about these music and books events. I am very sad that I missed this London event but I'll try to attend your NY events. It's really sad that you are not feeling good but I hope you will feel better soon!

New Delhi: Pollutants in Delhi's air on Monday remained consistently on the higher side, plunging it to 'severe' category at times, which saw a spike from around 8 am, when the 'odd-even' restrictions began, amid the presence of smog.
Weather experts said the gains of lesser cars on the city's roads seemed to have no immediate impact on pollution levels due to variations of weather conditions, calm wind movement and a fall in day time temperature.
The Delhi government, however, maintained that analysis of data collected by mobile units of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee at 15 locations yesterday shows that Central Delhi and other areas not bordering NCR towns continue to show improvement in air quality.
It has also undertaken the study of PM 1 in Delhi's air, particles which are finer than PM 2.5 and PM 10, whose results would be made public after January 15, at the end of the enforcement period of the pilot scheme.
The hourly update of System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) showed an upward trend of PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentration since morning. At 7 pm, PM 2.5 was at 266 micrograms per cubic metre.
Mandir Marg, RK Puram, Anand Vihar and IHBAS stations of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had air quality in the severe category. Severe category is declared when PM 2.5 crosses 250 micrograms per cubic metre while anything between 120-25 is regarded as 'very poor'.
"The situation would remain similar till at least January 9 due to variations owing to the presence of two sets of Western Disturbance. The wind intensity has also come down significantly. The chill will be back only after January 9," Airport MeT in-charge RK Jenamani said.
As per the hourly air quality index average of IndiaSpend, Connaught Place had PM 2.5 at 365 and PM 10 at 609, which falls in the severe category, at 8.30 PM.
At Anand Vihar and RK Puram, PM 2.5 was at 563 and 509 at 12.50 PM as per DPCC readings. The safe limits of these harmful micro particles, that can enter the respiratory system and subsequently the blood stream, are 60 and 100 respectively.

A little tact and diplomacy from the President of the United States - please!
...h/t to WMCB over at Sugar-N-Spice for this. And if that's not how he really feels, he shouldn't have said it. Yeah I know - it was just a joke.

Maybe his handlers should take him to the nearest clue sale and load him up with a long-lasting supply. They might have to back-order.

I'm trying to remember that thing my great aunt used to have in her corn field to scare away the crows.
Ah well, I can't remember, but for some reason I always want to think about that word when I happen to come across "issues" like this..
- March 21, 2009 at 2:04 PM
- Deb said...
ea...the handlers are just as bad as he is - or worse.
brotherkomrade...You can wave the "Strawman" thing all you like. I suppose your kids are all healthy and whole so this is not an "issue" for you. But everything's not about you or what you think.
He's the damn president of the entire United States which includes many children who are NOT healthy and whole and their voting parents!!!
And not only did he smoothly throw out the Special Olympics insult while he yukked it up with that tool Leno, he felt the need to follow that up with another. When Leno asked if he was getting a "Portuguese Waterhead" instead of a "Portuese Water" dog, the actual name of the breed. The Changeling felt the need to expound on Leno's asinine joke by saying, "That would be a scary dog" as he imitated a dog walking around whose head is too big for its body.
I don't know where you're from, but where I'm from, "Waterhead" is a reference to kids who are hydrocephalic: "A congenital condition in which an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the cerebral ventricles causes enlargement of the skull and compression of the brain, destroying much of the neural tissue." - like my nephew, who is still alive today due to the love, compassion and care of a family who has undergone the teasing, jokes and hurt. So yes, it is an "issue" for me.
He's an insensitive, arrogant, attention-seeking little boy who, it appears, needs to make other people feel bad to make himself feel good.
- March 22, 2009 at 2:20 AM
- The Fabulous Kitty Glendower said...
My uncle was an hydrocephalic and he died before his first birthday. It greatly affected my mother's life because she was old enough to remember it all. His name was Ashley.
He's an insensitive, arrogant, attention-seeking little boy who, it appears, needs to make other people feel bad to make himself feel good.
The very second I heard about Obama's "gaffe", I thought to myself, what a zero-sum arrogant idiot. First, he simply cannot ad-lib. He needs a teleprompter. That alone proves his character. I mean honestly, can he not go 15 minutes without a teleprompter without saying something stupid? Second, I thought about how hierarchal he is (hence, I call him the zero sum man). He always has to compare himself to someone else, and there always has to be a winner and a loser. There must be a ladder, a top and a bottom, a superior and an inferior. The whole of his existence is based on this dichotomy. It is his baseline. Not to mention how his shortcomings are someone else's fault. For example, the bowling score during the campaign was due to allowing a young boy to bowl one of the frames. One frame! Well my daughter can sacrifice a frame and still end higher than 37 or 39 or whatever it was. Why couldn't he just laugh the score off and that would have been that. I mean it was just a dumb game of bowling But that is just it. He cannot be found at fault or deficient for anything. This to me clearly marks his insecurity and his immaturity. A mature man would acknowledge his deficiencies. I mean damn, he is human, what is so wrong with acknowledging a few deficiencies, oh, but not The Precious. Oh noes. And it is that, that very arrogance, hubris that will not allow me to warm up to him. He is disgusting.
- March 22, 2009 at 9:33 PM
- Deb said...
Hey Kitty! Good to see you. Apologize for the delay in responding (up to my ass in alligators with this school thing!).
I can imagine what your mother must have gone through both before and after Ashley's death. Over the course of their growing up, Anthony's mother and his siblings have recounted some absolutely cruel "man's inhumanity to man" stories involving people making fun of Anthony and them.
They told my sister-in-law at his birth that he wouldn't live past his first birthday as well. They told her it would be best if she just left him at the hospital where they would stop providing sustenance. She refused and took her baby home. He turned 26 last week.
I agree with you that his hubris is merely a cover for some deep-seated insecurity backed by immaturity (I don't care how "articulate" he is in reading TOTUS or how "clean" he appears - per Biden's comments early on - the insecurity is palpable in every move he makes).
And you know, he's neither the first, nor the last man (or person for that matter though I think it's more a "man" thing given the patriarchy in which we live) to take that tack. But, it's been my experience that either they eventually recognize the insecurity themselves and work on it, or somebody who gives two shits about them, calls them on it and they either fish or cut bait - depending on how much they give a shit about those who give a shit about them. All I've seen is the Changeling cutting bait.
Don't get me wrong, we all need "stroking" at one time or another in our lives, but his pandering for attention - by any means necessary - is, as you say - disgusting.

Clint Eastwood's daughter was sun-tanning when she got Globes news
The pretty blonde couldn't believe it when her mother Frances Fisher called and told her the news, and admits the honour took a while to sink in.
She says, "My mum called and said, 'They want you to be Miss Golden Globe' and I was like, 'Are you serious?' And then I screamed... It was amazing.
"They just choose you. They go through a list of girls... They told me that I beat out a lot of girls."
As Miss Golden Globe, Eastwood will be tasked with handing trophies to prize winners and then ushering them backstage at the big event in January (13). Her predecessor is Andie MacDowell's daughter Rainey Qualley, who held the title for this year's (12) Globes.
Eastwood admits she's nervous about "falling over" onstage - but whatever happens on the night, she knows she has made her dad proud.
She tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood Live, "He's excited. He's really supportive of me doing this."

Pandemonium prevailed in the city Corporation Council meeting here on Thursday when ruling AIADMK and opposition DMK members clashed over corruption charges against their respective leaders Jayalalithaa and M. Karunanidhi.
Two women members — one each from the two parties — sustained bruises as the two sides exchanged heated words and blows, leading to free for all for about five minutes.
As the council assembled for the budget presentation, DMK's Meena Loganathan sporting 'namam', alleged that the AIADMK-ruled civic body had taken the people for a ride in the last three years without any development.
Seeing this, some AIADMK members raised a placard, which read that 2G (an indirect reference to former minister A. Raja and DMK) has put 'namam' on the people and Srirangam byelection result (which AIADMK won) was a fitting counter by the electorate. In the coming assembly polls, people will again put 'namam' to the opposition, it read.
At this, Ms. Meena wrote on a paper that a sitting chief minister was the first in the world to be convicted for 'mega' corruption, an apparent reference to Jayalalithaa's conviction in the wealth case.
Infuriated by this, AIADMK member Annamma started hitting Ms. Meena with a name board, leading to fisticuffs between her and Meena.
In the melee, both sustained bruises while the mangalsutra worn by Annamma snapped down, which led to exchange of words and blows between AIADMK and DMK members, leading to free for all for five minutes.
At this stage, Mayor P Rajkumar asked the Corporation PRO to clear away the media and photographers, amidst shouting by ruling party members that DMK members were indulging in such activities to gain "cheap publicity."
After the din, DMK members staged a walk out from the hall, even as Ms. Meena fainted near the steps.
Later, she was taken to the Government Hospital, where she was being treated, party sources said.

Chris Potter writes, "As your book notes, a few decades ago, many proposed education changes -- like charter schools and vouchers -- barely resonated outside a few right-wing think tanks.
Any accurate historical analysis recognizes that the first charter public school law was passed in Minnesota and its chief authors were Democrats. One of the many progressives to embrace the charter idea was Rosa Parks (yes that Rosa Parks) who tried to start charters in Detroit. Another progressive who was a huge advocate of charters was the late US Senator Paul Wellstone.
There is an attempt to re-write history. But the facts are clear for those willing to check them out.

New Year's Eve has always been a significant holiday for Rob and me.
We met at a roller skating party when it "turned" 1995, back when we were both 16. We started dating exclusively that night, and Rob proposed at midnight at Y2K.
We consider New Year's to be our "real" anniversary, and this year we've been together for 20 years!
So what better way to spend this anniversary, than at a Yogi Bear campground? This park was closer and less expensive, so it was less fancy than the one we visited for Thanksgiving. But I still had visions of us sitting around the fire, sipping bubbly, while we welcomed 2015.
What I hadn't counted on were temperatures in the 30's. We were so glad that our cabin was heated! Nevertheless, we did bundle up and have a good time!
Beanie was the only brave soul who watched the outdoor movie, which ironically was "Ice Age."
But the main event involved the Nintendo WiiU we had received when we checked our mail on the way there. It was hard to pull Beanie away!
We did get her out to play in the kid "habitat," as we called it. There was a family reunion in the park, so there were plenty of kids to play with. Nobody lasted very long though!
A visit to the game room was in order…
And lots of coffee to keep us warm!
Beanie found some dried worm snacks at the camp store and insisted that she wanted some. Rob cautioned her that they really were worms, and Beanie's response was, "But they're dead!"
And she did seem to enjoy them.
Her costumes came along…
We tried having a fire, but it was so damp that it wouldn't stay lit. We ended up microwaving hot dogs and s'mores.
While Beanie was outside, I moved the clock an hour head, and then another.It was getting close. Time to break out the sparkling cider!
Get ready…
Happy new year!
And, satisfied with herself for staying up until midnight, Beanie headed to bed. Two hours later, Rob and I broke out the champagne and welcomed 2015 properly.

chair / lights / vases / feather print / antlers / dot pillow / wave pillow / chair / wallpaper
One of my biggest goals this year is to put some time and love into making my house the coziest, happiest, most comfortable place ever. I am almost embarrassed to say that I have owned this house for coming up on two years now and I have hardly done anything noteworthy to it. Well, I take that back...it was all those really important things that you will never see that we had to spend the time and money on first. The plumbing, new dry wall in my office, fixing the majority of the windows due to termite damage from before I moved in, the exterior is in the process of a facelift, etc. All completely necessary but not the fun stuff. So right after Christmas, I went nuts and painted everything white. I painted a black accent wall in the entry way and a few old side tables got painted black as well. I love vintage and antiques but was scared that my house would turn into a total pastel / candy land / grandma house. I have found that the black and white is the perfect mix of keeping the old treasures I love while incorporating new modern pieces. It's always been hard for me to decide on a favorite color, or even a scheme. I think the black and white will allow me to collect all the weird fun things I love and switch them out depending on my mood or seasonally. So now I'm looking forward to collecting all those little things that will make this house feel like me. And make it a cozy place for us and for hopefully more entertaining!

I would like you to meet Penelope Fox.
Yesterday, there was a strange creature out of my window at work. When I looked closer I realized, "It's a FOX!!" She was eating the birdseed that drops from the feeders. Her slim limbs and her long snout made her look so dainty, but as she walked and pranced around, her grace and cunningness came out. That's when I knew her name had to be Penelope. She was dark brown on top with a line of red and then a white undercoat. She was just beautiful. I watched her for a good fifteen minutes. And I knew I had to go home and make a fox immediately. So I did!
I put the fox in the window at work because I thought maybe she'd be back tonight. She was. I snuck outside to watch her in the wild. It wasn't very long before she recognized my presence and stood at the edge of the wood to stare at me. We both just stood there waiting for the other one to move. Finally, she realized I was no threat to her and went about her day. I just stood there trying to memorize every color in her coat.

1. "So what happens if you withdraw attention from the objects in space and become aware of space itself?" ~ PON Page 138
2. "So if you withdraw attention from things – objects in space – you automatically withdraw attention from your mind objects as well." ~Page 139 PON
3. "Everyone pays attention to the things in space, but who pays attention to space itself?" ~ PON Page 137
4. "Pay more attention to the silence than to sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: the mind becomes still." ~ PON Page 136 top
What Eckhart Tolle is describing is an "isomorphism" that exists between external physical objects & inner mental objects (thoughts). He is basically implying that the physical level & mental level, have a one-to-one mapping between the two sets.
He states, this becomes apparent... by noticing how merely moving our attention to physical empty space simultaneously creates a feeling of inner stillness & inner mental space within us.
The word "isomorphism" applies when two complex structures can be mapped onto each other, in such a way that to each part of one structure there is a corresponding part in the other structure, where "corresponding" means that the two parts play similar roles in their respective structures.
(G¨odel, Escher, Bach, p. 49)

Let's be Social – Social Skills Video: Keeping Personal Space
This blog post is part of a multi-part series on the lessons that come standard in our app, Let's be Social. Each post breaks down why we included this particular story, with commentary from Brittany Lehane, CCC-SLP, as well as a short overview of our lesson.
With 40 lessons standard and premium video lessons, Let's be Social has become a go-to app iPad app for Speech Pathologists, Special Education Teachers, Behavioral Professionals, and Parents to use with those learning social skills, including those who have autism. To learn more about Let's be Social and hear why it's been called a "dream come true", check it out here.
Why Keeping Personal Space?
Personal space is such an important concept to teach because it impacts people in a big way. If your personal space is violated, you automatically feel upset and uncomfortable. This is not the way we want people to feel. To start, it's important to define personal space and show what it looks like because it is an abstract concept and therefore may be difficult for our kids to understand. Our video lesson models the appropriate way to give personal space and what happens if you don't. We focus on the negative result of invading someone's space. We also analyze how the character feels when he isn't given personal space.
Our Lesson
We first learn that keeping personal space means giving people enough space to feel comfortable. Everyone likes to have their own bubble of space. If somebody comes into that bubble, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Our scene opens with Owen sitting at a table, reading a book. Johnny enters with a football in his hand. It looks like he wants to play catch. He asks Owen what he's doing. Owen gets an strange look on his face and scoots his chair away from Johnny.
When we dive into each person's thoughts, Owen wonders why Johnny is sitting so close. He says he doesn't like it. We learn that Owen feels uncomfortable. When we find out what Johnny is thinking, we find out he feels confused. He just wanted to see what Johnny was up to. What did Johnny do wrong? He didn't give Owen personal space.
After reinforcing our concepts, we go back to the scene at the table. This time, when Johnny sits down, he leaves a good amount of space between himself and Owen. After talking for a minute, the kids decide they want to go out to play catch.
Remember, everyone needs their own space to feel comfortable.

You can listen to the show online here (from 10:00-10:30) or after 10:30 a.m. (CST) you can listen to it on the internet here.
The MSU men's hockey team has headed north to Bemidji and are preparing for a big nonconference tilt with soon-to-be WCHA members Bemidji State. Shane Frederick of the Mankato Free Press wrote about Maverick junior blueliner Channing Boe's return to Bemidji in today's paper and you can view the story here. Freddie also posted a few notes in his preview here. A note to the men's hockey team up in Bemidji (as well as former MSU Athletic Communications Graduate Assistant and current BSU Assistant Sports Information Director Dax Larson), beware of BigFoot.
Freddy usually posts what he calls the Friday Morning Skate, which takes an in-depth look at all the games from around the WCHA. It isn't up as of yet, but check out his blog here for more information.
The Minnesota State women's hockey team hosts Wisconsin tonight to open a WCHA series. Freddy had a few notes about this in the College Hockey Gameday found here.
The Maverick men's and women's basketball teams host the University of Mary and Northern State this weekend. The fun starts each night at 6 p.m. with the women's tip with the men's to follow. The Chad Courrier of the Mankato Free Press discussed the NSIC games in his College Basketball Notebook found here.
The University of Mary - MSU's opponent on Friday - is off to a 2-0 start in Men's hoops and the Bismarck Tribune had video of the Marauder's fast start, which can be found here and Cindy Peterson of the Tribune looked into the UMary's men's team here.
The Maverick wrestling team - ranked #9 in the nation - is also in action this weekend as they travel to St. Cloud State to wrestle in the Husky Invitational. Stay posted to www.msumavericks.com for results.

Dr. Scott purchased the property and house adjacent to the hospital building
in 1993 making way for plans to expand the hospital and build a boarding
kennel. Finally, on November 3, 1997 we broke ground for the expansion and
our first new boarders came on Thanksgiving in 1998.
For many years Dr. Scott was the sole veterinarian. As the practice began
to grow the need for another veterinarian arose. In 1999, Dr. Scott's son, Dr. Jason Scott,
joined the practice as a full time veterinarian.
Potomac Animal Hospital is a full service small animal hospital with boarding,
grooming, radiology, laboratory, dentistry, surgery, well pet care, special
need animal care and geriatrics amongst other services.

Not that there's much we can do about it.
There are many advantages to aging. One, of course, is that it's much better than the only known alternative. Another is a constantly growing, personal connection with history. As Harry Truman once said, perhaps in a pessimistic moment, "The only thing new in this world is the history you don't know."
If you are of less than a certain age, you may never have heard of the Great Ozone Hole Debate, although there is still bad blood about it to this day. Or you may have heard of it from backyard mechanics grousing about tree-hugging hippies and the rising cost of R-22 Freon.
The GOHD was a mini-precursor to that quasi-religious battle, the Great Forced Climate Change Controversy, otherwise known as Global Warming. And it may be coming back to haunt us.
First, a primer.
Raw sunlight as it strikes the earth includes far more ultraviolet radiation (the UV of sunblock lotions) than earthly life can generally survive. As this radiation enters the stratosphere, beginning about 150,000 feet above our heads, it breaks up oxygen molecules. This absorbs some of the UV (specifically, the very energetic UVC). Further down and closer to us, oxygen atoms recombine into an ionized form called ozone. This layer of ozone absorbs still more UV (the less energetic UVB). The remaining UV radiation (some UVB and the relatively mild UVA) that gets through is what causes sunburn and, it seems, skin cancer.
Now, ozone (ionized oxygen) is not the most stable thing in the world. As a matter of fact, it's pretty reactive in the presence of water and many other things. One of the things it likes to do is revert back to the normal molecular form of oxygen, which lets UVB pass more or less unhindered. But in the the mid-stratosperic ozone layer, new ozone is not created very rapidly because the high-energy UVC that breaks up oxygen is absorbed higher up. So it's possible for ozone to be depleted just where we need it most.
And it turns out that a couple of elements not normally present in the stratoshpere, chlorine and bromine, catalyze the reversion of ozone back to molecular oxygen.
There is a particular chemistry involving trace amounts of water vapor, sunlight, cold temperatures, and chemicals like Freon, that releases chlorine and bromine in catalytic form. And, as catalysts, these elements are not consumed in the conversion of ozone to plain oxygen, but hang around to keep catalyzing as long as the conditions are right.
This is why, based in large part on science sponsored by NASA, the world agreed to phase out the production of certain chemicals, called CFCs, among them the old Freon. (The EPA gets to be the whipping boy because, in this country, that agency is given the thankless task of writing and enforcing the regulations.)
I think the key moment in the history of the GOHD was the decision by the venerable E. I. du Pont, chemical manufacturer and scourge of tree-huggers everywhere, to change it's corporate policy regarding CFCs.
This was all thirty years ago. Ancient, pre-Internet history.
Now it may be back.
After years of collecting high-altitude data, a fellow by the name of Jim G. Anderson and his colleagues have published a paper, that may have du Pont thinking about getting into the sun-block business.
The observed presence of water vapor convectively injected deep into the stratosphere over the United States…
The paper's abstract begins with what Anderrson & Co. have discovered: that large thunderstorms generate big enough updrafts to lift moist air into the normally arid lower stratosphere. Note carefully, they're not talking about the south pole.
…can fundamentally change the catalytic chlorine/bromine free-radical chemistry of the lower stratosphere…
Uh-oh. The chemistry we were just discussing.
…by shifting total available inorganic chlorine into the catalytically active free-radical form…
Not what we wanted to hear!
Were the intensity and frequency of convective injection to increase as a result of climate forcing by the continued addition of CO2 and CH4 to the atmosphere…
In other words, if global warming is making thunderstorms bigger and more frequent…
…increased risk of ozone loss and associated increases in ultraviolet dosage would follow.
It's a good paper, technical but with plenty of readable explanation. Might be a false alarm. Could be the canary in the coal mine. Interesting in its own right.
Not that there's much we can do about it. Except wait 50 to 100 years for the CFCs already floating around up there to finally dissipate.

Radio Shangri-la.
5 comments:
Good review bro. I have heard of this book, but couldn't read it...However yours provided me a fairly good glimpse of it...looking forward to reading your next review!ReplyDelete
"Until reading this book, I didn't knew that Kuzoo FM is project initiated by His Majesty the King, (then Crown Prince) Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck." same with me. a nice read!ReplyDelete
@ Pema and Happiness: Thank you for the appreciations la.ReplyDelete
A refreshing piece after so long.ReplyDelete
I love Kuzoo fm of all the radio stations in Bhutan. It is fairly because I came to know about it while I was at my village during my school break.
I am quite amazed to know the commencement of Kuzoo FM. This station is indeed one of the engaging and an entertaining one.
You know, it is sometimes disheartening and even unpleasant to read or hear about Bhutanese interested to earn dollars. It seems like we are insufficient of material wealth despite Bhutanese being recognised as a country of "Gross National Happiness".
If my comment is in any way abusive, you have certainly taken my viewpoint to higher dimension.
Overall, it was interesting to know about the Book. Lethro, reading the above mentioned book is in my bucket list. Save the book for me.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi Yeesi, Glad to learn that you dropped by after sometime, :P. Yeah, that fact that our Bhutanese are so much interested to serve as nannies and dishwashers to earn dollar (as the author has mentioned) is not a good trend. It is good to take the opportunity of earning some if we get certain privilege like further study, etc but purposefully aspiring to pluck apples in the orchard of US to earn dollar appears weird not only among ourselves but also the the foreigners who spends thousands of hard earned dollars to enjoy the serene and peace in Bhutan.ReplyDelete
Well, the book will remain piled on my table, take it anytime u want la.
Keep visit, and pour on feedbacks.

Simpson goes 2-0 on day one of Southern Oregon Tournament
Simpson University Sports News
ASHLAND, Ore. - The Simpson University women's softball team was in action on Friday, Feb. 22, in the Southern Oregon University Tournament. They took part in two games and won both. In game one, they defeated the Cavaliers from Concordia University 9-8, and in game two they beat the host Raiders from Southern Oregon University 13-6.
In game one, the Red Hawks sent Carlye Avey to the mound to take on Danille Orvella for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers scored three runs in the top of the first before the Red Hawks responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning on a Jodie Richards two-RBI double. The Cavaliers scored three more runs in the second to knock Avey out of the game Katie Bell came in as the relief pitcher for the Red Hawks. The Red Hawks knocked Orvella out of the game by scored three runs in the bottom of the second. Aleisha Brown singled to score Chelsea Espinosa, and then Chelsea Dunn doubled to center to score two more to make the score 6-5 Cavaliers after two innings. The Cavaliers continued to score, as they added two more runs in the top of the third. The Red Hawks responded with a run in the bottom of the inning, when Noel Montes scored on a Morgan Davis sacrifice fly. The top of the fourth, the Red Hawks finally stopped the Cavaliers from scoring and grabbed the lead in the bottom of the fourth by scoring three times on a Richards three-RBI home run to make it 9-8 Red Hawks. Surprisingly, those would be the last runs scored in the game and the Red Hawks held on for the win.
Bell earned the win for the Red Hawks, pitching 5.2 innings in relief and allowing two runs (0 earned) on four hits. McKenzie Marshall got the loss for Concordia, allowing four runs on six hits in three innings.
Richards finished the game 2-for-4 with a run scored and five RBI. Dunn was 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, and Nicole Hutchins was 2-for-3 with a run scored.
In game two, the Red Hawks started Emily Stokes against Karlie Stephens of the Raiders. The Red Hawks struck early, scoring seven times in the bottom of the first inning. Kara Wall got the scoring started on a triple down the right field line to score Dunn, Brown and Davis. Richards continued her good day with a RBI single to score Wall. Espinosa doubled to right, scoring Cherie DeJesus and Richards, before Davis capped off the scoring in the inning when her single scored Espinosa. The Raiders showed signs of life in the second, scoring twice. The Red Hawks scored two runs in the bottom of the second, when Richards singled to right to score Dunn and then Wall scored on a passed ball to make it 9-2 after two innings. The Raiders added another in the top of the third. The Red Hawks once again responded and scored twice in the bottom of the frame on a Brown home run which also scored Davis. In the top of the fourth, the Raiders scored one, but the Red Hawks DeJesus scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the inning to make it 12-4. The Raiders then scored two more in the top of the fifth, and the Red Hawks went scoreless in the bottom of the inning. Then in the bottom of the sixth, the Red Hawks finished the scoring with a Davis double to score Montes. The Red Hawks would hold onto that lead and win 13-6.
Stokes earned the win for the Red Hawks, going seven innings and allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits with 12 strikeouts. Stephens got the loss, allowing seven runs on six hits in one inning of work. Davis went 3-for-4 with two RBI, Brown went 2-for-4 with two RBI, Dunn went 2-for-4, Wall went 3-for-4 with three RBI, and Richards went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Montes was 0-for-1 with three walks, and Espinosa went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
