Today, we are going for a comparison article between two very famous management colleges of India. There are many students who struggle to decide which Institute is better. So, our focus would be to evaluate the colleges in terms of academic prospects, job opportunities and better possibilities of return on investment.
For this, we will be looking at a short evaluation of two, management based educational institutions. One is Institute for Financial Management &Research, (IFMR), Chennai and the other is T.A. Pai Management Institute, Manipal, Karnataka.
Institute for Financial Management & Research(IFMR), Chennai
The Institute for Financial Management & Research(IFMR) was established in 1970. Over the years, it has developed into a standard institution of higher learning, combining theory and practice in the area of Finance and Management.
What they strive for is, a mix of theory with exposure to global practices through evidence-based researchers, in the respective fields of study.
- Also, notable, is its recognition, at a national level, as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.
- In 2015, IFMR was ranked 9th in Top B-Schools of Super Excellence by CSR-GHRDC B-School Survey. And in the following year, it was ranked 15th among Top Private Business Schools in India and 27th Rank by National Human Resource Development Network.
- Their programs focus on a career path in investment banking, portfolio and risk management, financial consulting and applied research.
Courses Offered:
Currently, IFMR offers full-time and part-time PGDM programs, a Ph.D. program as well as management development programs.
- The Post Graduate Diploma in Management at IFMR focuses on management education with a strong foundation in Finance. It includes seven disciplines of study; Finance, Marketing, IT & Operations, Human Resources, Financial Engineering, Banking Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) and Data Sciences.
Admission Criteria:
- Admissions to this program are based on the latest CAT / XAT / CMAT / GMAT & GRE scores.
- Apart from this, a candidate's past academic performance is looked into as well as personal interviews, extracurricular activities, sports, NCC, performing arts, volunteering interests etc.
- On the whole, the entire program costs about Rs.12 lakhs (approx.).
Placement Record:
- On course completion, an average package of Rs. 8 Lakhs p.a. is offered and their highest package till date, has been Rs. 14 Lakhs p.a.
- At IFMR, students are also grouped under a mentorship system during every placement season, for better guidance in their career paths and prospects.
Student life:
Student life at IFMR often revolves around fests and seminars in a vibrant and diverse community on the campus. They also enjoy benefits of a trading floor, a well-stocked library and the opportunities to learn via live projects and ongoing research collaborations such as MIT, that makes it an altogether, a conducive learning environment!
T.A. Pai Management Institute
Next, is the T.A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), which is located in a picturesque town of Manipal, Karnataka. It was the establishment in 1980.
Recently it was ranked among the top 20 B-schools in India. It is also AICTE approved and AIU recognized. It also happens to be one of the few, B-schools in India, to be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
In India, only five B-schools and 5% of top business schools worldwide, have earned this valuable accreditation.
Their programs focus on students to develop a career in the fields of banking and financial services and are based on experiential learning that allows students to use case-study approaches, in their study.
Currently, TAPMI offers management program at the postgraduate level, with specializations in Healthcare and Banking and Financial Services.
Courses Offered & Admission Criteria
The Post Graduate Diploma Management course at TAPMI is of two-year duration and costs about Rs. 14 Lakhs (approx.) in total. It offers the following disciplines of study; Marketing, Operations, Human Resource, Finance, IT and General Management.
And its admissions are usually based on the CAT/XAT/GMAT scores and other written analysis tests and personal interviews. Past academic performance in any graduation degree, work experience and participation in extracurricular activities of the candidates are also considered.
Next is their specialized course in Banking and Financial Services management course at the postgraduate level (PGDM- BKFS). And this course costs about Rs.15.00 Lakhs (approx.) in total.
Admissions to this course, is on basis of CAT/XAT/GMAT scores, past academic performance at graduation and school level as well as other written tests, group discussions, and interviews.
Placement Record:
On course completion, an average salary package of Rs. 8.24 Lakh p.a. is offered. And their highest package till date is Rs. 18 Lakh p.a.
A well-equipped educational and residential set up at TAPMI, including prominent faculty, world-class finance lab for trading etc. Gives students a comfortable environment to learn and grow, in proper synchronization.
Which college is better in terms of Return on Investment?
Now, we move on to the most interesting part; making the educational choice that will help one in altering the course of their future. With regard to good financial management education programs, both the above-mentioned colleges provide it and do it, in their own terms and style.
- Looking at TAPMI, they boast of a separate Finance Lab, which is actually a trading lab, powered by Bloomberg India. This is to help in providing students with a platform for live experiences in investments, portfolio management, forecasting and therefore bridges the gap between theory and practice.
- Apart from this advantage, students also go through a Student Managed Investment Course (SMIC). Under this, every student is given Rs. 25,000 to invest in real markets. This is, again, to promote learning by practice and nurture a better understanding of the functioning of financial markets.
Now when we look at the academic prospects at IFMR, they have an intensive, two-month summer internship for the students.
CollegeDunia Reviews OJEE MBA – A detailed paper Analysis
- Apart from this internship, interactive guest lectures, practical consultancy projects with industries and their year-round management development programs through national and international collaboration, increases the worth of value of money spent at IFMR.
- Lastly, their most promising advantage is the new state-of-the-art campus, which is located in the heart of Sri City; a 5,000-acre Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and situated 55 km north of Chennai. In reality, this is a major hub for many large and medium scale industries and a popular business destination for multinational companies to establish operations in India.
- Some of the prominent MNCs in this cluster are Colgate, Kellog's, Cadbury, Alstom-France and 38 other international companies. At the same time, this campus is also home to 24 Indian companies.
- So, in short, all this industrial activity in the neighborhood influences the learning process at IFMR. Especially the internship programs, industrial-based projects and the easy facilitation of experienced professionals as guest speakers on the campus.
After giving an overall picture, of both colleges, it is observed that a management based education at IFMR campus, has more edge and gives a more return on investment than compared to TAPMI. This is because of being situated at the heart of an SEZ, with an ample number of job opportunities, career prospects, a holistic learning methodology and approach and all this at a lesser cost than compared to TAPMI.
But, one must also look for that slightly higher advantage or possible reward. Ultimately, the industrial exposure at IFMR and its guaranteed job placements make all the difference.

The latest report from the office of National Statistics shows a
decrease of 10% building fires in the UK in 2009, however, the
report also states that deaths from fires during quarter 2 and
quarter 3 in 2009 were up by 43 from 2008 to 162 fatalities¹. As UK
research shows that smoke inhalation deaths accounts for 75% of this
total² - it's imperative that we have smoke control systems in place
which work when required.
Fire alarm systems, often the first line of defence to prevent loss of life and loss of property in case of fire, are checked at least on a weekly basis, so we have all become to expect regular fire alarm drills and procedures. The swift actions of systems and individuals tasked with working and maintaining these systems have saved countless lives over the last few years. But clever as these systems may be, they can lead us into a false sense of security as we still continue to ignore the effects of smoke.
Buildings which require smoke control systems include retirement accommodation, residential apartments, schools, universities, hospitals, government offices, commercial premises, leisure centres, theatres and retail units - in fact any building which is not a single dwelling.
Smoke control systems work with the fire detection systems in our buildings and a simple fire alarm can indicate a fire within a building and inform us to evacuate; a smoke control system should ensure that we have a safe and smoke free exit made available for us to safely exit the building. With over 300 people still losing their lives every year¹, mostly due to smoke inhalation, there are more smoke control systems and procedures required.
The main reason for smoke control systems is the preservation of life, but their use can importantly facilitate fire fighting operations, protect a building's fabric and contents, and even reduce structural damage.
So, whilst fire detection systems are visibly and audibly maintained as far as building users are concerned, smoke control systems are also maintained with less obvious impact - or are they? Enter The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 - (RRO), which came into force in 2006. It has changed fire safety requirements and affects ALL UK organisations replacing over 70 separate pieces of fire safety legislation. Now the complete early fire detection systems, emergency lighting and smoke control systems have become one system in new, refurbished and modified buildings.
Compliance with RRO is the responsibility of owners, employers and managers with 'fire certificates' no longer being a valid proof of compliance. The fire brigade with their extensive knowledge of the dangers and the spread of fire, have now turned into prevention specialists. The fire brigade now visit premises in order to check for compliance and have the ability to prosecute individuals responsible for failures in providing a safe residential development, place of work or inside public space. Currently prosecutions are on the rise.
RRO insists that those responsible conduct risk assessments, train responsible individuals, provide equipment and competently maintain the equipment. Failure in any one area can lead to prosecution following an inspection. If a fire does occur then documents, which include the risk assessment, log of the equipment made available, maintenance records and training records will be required by the authorities and the insurance company. The building owners or operators are liable if procedures have not been met.
If you are reading this and feeling that you may not be adequately covered, or indeed if you are concerned that you may be the person who is responsible, check with your building owners or superiors and ensure your property is RRO compliant. If in any doubt contact a specialist as soon as possible. Not only will this cover you as a responsible individual, but more importantly could save lives.
Visits to undertake preventive maintenance for smoke ventilation systems should not exceed six monthly in addition to regular maintenance of other fire systems. The complete system should be viewed as a 'life saving system' that when fully operable can and will save lives.
SE Controls, one of the largest providers of smoke control systems, natural ventilation systems and maintenance services, can provide a total package. From early involvement in new and refurbished building projects to long term on-going maintenance with over years experience in the sector.
SE Controls provide preventative maintenance visits to conform with the British Standards Institution Schedule BS 7346:1-1990, BS 5588:12-2004 The Buildings Regulations Approved Document B and BS9999. Complying with these standards means that where natural or powered, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems are provided these are checked, maintained and components replaced where required. Regular preventative maintenance not only reduces the cost of replacement but also further reduces the possibility of failure. SE Controls' maintenance department can offer problem solving, advice and alternative solutions to existing systems that require modification. Once modified to meet compliance, modified systems can be maintained on a regular basis. SE Controls maintain a variety of sites across the United Kingdom, including the Channel Isles, the Isle of Man and Ireland and visit thousands of developments each year. SE Controls can offer national agreements providing economies of scale.

Today's headlines in Utah sports pages announced victory for the BYU runner and his teammates, apart from the seventh man who will now be sidelined as Jared is back on the line tomorrow at the NCAA regional cross country meet.
Jared, his coach, Ed Eyestone, and the BYU administrators were gracious in their remarks of 'gratitude' to the NCAA for the reinstatement. This may not be the sentiment seething beneath the surface. In fact I would have preferred to hear what Bobby Knight, Harry Edwards, Woody Hayes, or Leo Durocher might have said in a similar situation. It just shows that people are still very wary of what the powers that be might do to them if they get too uppity.
A more thoughtful individual passed on the following view of the situation and the rule. Bill Schnier, recently retired track and cross country coach at the University of Cincinnati, sent the following remarks. He also talks about the use of college football players by the military in WWII. Thanks, Bill. When I first started coaching at U. of Dayton in 1999, Bill told me something to the effect, that if you have to make a decision about what to do in a coaching situation, if it seems to make sense or seems humane and the right thing to do, there is probably a rule against it.
Here is Bill's note:
Usually the penalty is enacted because of money won during a road race, making the person a professional and eliminating him from all future NCAA competition. That will soon change when NCAA athletes will be allowed to receive some payment for their playing or their likeness. The problem is that the NCAA is trying to decide where to draw the line. Organized competition ranges all the way from this Halloween race to European basketball leagues where the student-athletes play against professionals. However, common sense should kick in at some point and the rules should be specific in order to accommodate innocuous events like this one.
If I am not mistaken, football players enrolled in the military during WW II did play in organized leagues and did not lose any eligibility. The most notable was Great Lakes Naval Station in Chicago where Paul Brown was the coach. He assembled an incredible team there and took the best of them with him to form the nucleus of the Cleveland Browns after the war. Others went back to college and played for their university. The most notable were Army and Navy who accepted players from other colleges and the army without penalty making them among the top-ranked teams in the country in the late 1940s. I believe their four-year clock started over again if they attended West Point or Annapolis during those years potentially giving them 8 years of college eligibility. What was done during those unusual years and today are unrelated because the situation is so different. I am not positive of those details but I do recall reading about events like that from Si Burick of the Dayton Daily News when his Stivers High School friend, Earl "Red" Blaik, coached at West Point.

The photo booth is without a doubt one of the best things to have in an event. It does nothing and simply takes fun pictures of the guests, but that's also what many people like to do: to take as many fun and memorable moments home with them!
So, what are the things that you need to watch to make sure the booth will run smoothly with minimum supervising? Here are 6 things to remember from a Surrey photo booth hire.
1. A butler
The first thing they need to have is a butler. The butler will help in taking care of the booth and will be ready whenever you want it close or open. The butler will also help the guests in operating the booth and have their pictures taken.
2. Sizing and editing
The next thing would be the range of options you have with the pictures that come out from the booth. You probably still remember how photo booths from the past only allow small pictures that look a bit blurry.
But these days, photo booths are equipped with some of the highest quality cameras to ensure quality pictures. No more crappy resolutions as you'll be having crystal clear pictures coming out from this booth.
Photo booths are also equipped with lots of different famous effects guests like to use. From the monochrome look to the famous sepia and colored images styles for you to choose. We're glad to tell you that one of the best Surrey photo booth hires that provides that can be found from Captive Photography at www.captivephoto.co.uk/surrey-photo-booth-hire.
3. Customize your backdrop!
With Luxestar photo booth, you can choose how you want your background to look like. It doesn't have to be a cramped space; anywhere around the wedding venue can become the photo booth spot. This is important as personalization will the pictures much more memorable.
Imagine if you hired the same photo booth with others and your guests coincidentally attended that, too. They'll just be taking another picture in the same place, just different outfit.
4. Props
Props are very important. They make the pictures all the more fun! With that said, it's not easy to come up with props ideas, but the place that lets you hire their service should also be providing this. They cannot be too tacky and comply with the theme of the party. With enough discussions, they should know what your photo booth will need.
5. Guestbook for fun
Another thing that can add to the fun is a guest book. If you're going to hire a photo booth for your wedding event, the pictures won't just be brought home by the guests, but some will be left for you to check out their craziness when you couldn't. A guest book filled with the pictures taken from the photo booth and messages from your craziest friends.
6. Upload them!
The last, but not the least thing that many couples like is having the option to integrate it with live streaming during the party or uploading them to social media. It's a great way to quickly post them and entertain the guests as they wait for the party to start.
These are 6 things you shouldn't miss when getting a Surrey photo booth hire.

The steady drop in coal consumption in recent years may be causing a feeling of depletion among the industry. Natural gas has surpassed coal as the main energy source used by states in the Northeast, and with the lack of necessity comes a decline in production, leading to mass bankruptcies among coal companies. The decreased tax revenue from coal production has state legislators looking for additional ways to raise revenue to support the regulatory authorities that oversee this industry.
On May 24, 2017, Alabama enacted H.B. 468, imposing an additional excise and privilege tax on coal and lignite mining in-state. Alabama is allocating these additional funds to the Surface Mining Commission, the state's regulatory authority for surface and underground coal mining operations.
The new tax will be collected in addition to Alabama's current taxes on coal and lignite, which are imposed at a total rate of $0.335 per ton. Mining companies must pay the additional tax based on the tonnage severed, up to 2 million tons per year, as follows:
This additional tax is estimated to generate $209,000 per year in revenue for the commission. Also, failure to comply with the new tax law means a penalty of up to $1,000 per offense, which could produce more revenue for the State General Fund.
H.B. 468's passage is a blow to an industry whose annual prospects are continuing to look bleak in 2017, according to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. The organization's annual outlook report for the U.S. coal industry is anything but promising, with an expected drop in demand and low prices that will have coal producers struggling to keep up with their counterparts in natural gas and renewables.
Coal businesses should stay alert as their states may impose more taxes and higher fees to fund regulatory programs.

Are these the SIX BEST photos of Roller Derby EVER TAKEN?
With so many great roller derby photographers in the UK, there are a plethora of fantastic photos of the sport. UKDerby.com columnist Billiam Trapper (aka TRAPPER SNAPPER) picks his top six. All of which, coincidentally, he took himself…
I can remember the exact moment I decided to become a roller derby photographer. I had woken up that fine spring morning in a hedge alongside the M5 just outside Worcester. This was something of a surprise as the last thing I can remember is going to my work leaving do in Oxford the night before. I was at a crossroads in my life. Not literally, of course, as motorways don't have crossroads. Flagging down a passing car I hitched my way into central Worcester. After washing the vomit out of my hair in the toilets of the local Wetherspoons – curiously many of the other customers were washing vomit into their hair – I decided I would take the next opportunity life presented to me. Whatever it might be.
On a lamppost outside the pub was sellotaped a poster for something called 'roller derby' taking place that day. So it was that I came to find myself attending the first public bout of the Worcester Nuthouses roller derby league. I was instantly hooked and at some point during the after party agreed to become the league's official photographer. Waking up the next day in a hedge beneath the Tay Road Bridge, I searched out the nearest camera shop, determined to spend a sizable chunk of my redundancy money on getting the best kit possible for my new vocation. I didn't really know much about photography, but how hard to could it be?
I explained to the man in the shop that I wanted a camera to photograph derby. "Och, outdoors, urban landscape, English Midlands, usually cloudy? I've got just the thing." He selected a camera and asked me what sort of lens I wanted. "The longest one possible," I said, "because you know what they say about men with long lenses." "Nae, I can't say that I do," he said sternly, winching down from the ceiling what I later learned was a Jujitsu 1,200 XQL3. "That'll be fifteen grand fa cash." So began a journey that would take me to scrimmages, games, tournaments and hedges all over the world. But which are my favourites of the very many derby photographs I've taken? And what are the stories behind them? Let me tell you…
1. One problem with shooting derby is that leisure centres tend to have very yellowy lighting. Apparently there's some way to compensate for this after you've taken the picture, but no-one will tell me what it is, so instead I would usually ask the players to paint their faces bright white to counteract that yellowness. This was how the whole craze of face paint in roller derby originated. When I was starting out, most players were happy to go along with this, but that's no longer the case. Indeed, while there are still a few players – such as LRR's Jack Attack or Portsmouth's RIP McMurphy – who are happy to paint at least the bottom half of their faces, most skaters now flat out refuse. So sometimes I have to get a little 'creative'. This shot was from a Pencilcity Devilwhores game, where I paid a local graffiti artist to rush past the team during kit check and give them a few cans full. They didn't take it too well, I have to say, and I was thrown out before the game even began. Nonetheless, I feel this shot of a team mate holding back a couple of Devilwhores – as they try to attack me – captures the spirit of derby in a way no staged shot ever could.
2. There's always an element of danger in shooting roller derby and this photo is another example of that. I'm really keen to capture the sport from different angles, to create images that allow people to view derby in ways they may not have seen it from before. With that in mind I realised no-one knew what a roller derby game looked like upside down! It took a little convincing, but I persuaded the London Rockin' Rollers to let me photograph their intraleague final in such a way. I strung a bungee rope from the ceiling of Newham Leisure Centre – roughly midway between the jammer line and pivot line – then once the game started, I let go and began to bungee up and down, taking pictures when I reached the lowest point of each bounce (roughly eighteen inches above track level). I had to abandon the scheme after a few minutes since the Head Ref ruled that my bungeeing was endangering the skaters. We moved the rope to one side – so I was no longer bouncing directly into the skaters' paths – but somehow it just wasn't the same. This is my favourite image from that day. Like all the bungee shots it's a little bit blurry, but I feel it really opens one's eyes to a side of derby you'd never normally see.
3. This was taken at half-time in a game in Manchester. Some young children had brought with them a remote control skating doll and they were playing with it on the track. Madcap referee Smell Worm spotted it and started playing along, acting as if he was jam reffing the doll. That's what I caught in this photo. It all started off innocently enough, but then Worm started calling the doll out for rules infringements (direction of play, equipment violations, etc). A couple of minutes later he was screaming "insubordination" at it, then took it outside and threw it in a pond, telling the children it had been "expelled from the game". The youngsters were a little upset, but it just shows how seriously Smell Worm takes the sport.
4. Sometimes a really great photo is as much about what you "don't see" as what you do; those extraneous details just hinted at by the image in front of you. That's certainly the case with this photo of a fantastic apex jump from Team USA's Scald Eagle, who is here soaring inside a bewildered England pack during the 2014 Blood & Thunder World Cup Final. It's a truly magnificent moment and I felt really honoured to have been there to take this picture of it. I witnessed many magical moments at the Dallas World Cup, but this one was the highlight. I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed on returning to the UK to discover that I'd left the lens cap on for the whole tournament. Still, as I say, often it's the fine details, the wider stories and the feelings surrounding a particular incident that make for a truly great photograph, rather than the pure mechanical reality of the pixels on view. That's certainly true in the case of this image, which is why it's one of my favourites.
5. This was taken at a Heartland Series game last year. The best thing about it is it's in black and white. Somehow this gives it a lot more contrast and a lot more depth than a traditional full colour photograph. I have no idea why this picture came out in black and white – I didn't even know my camera could do black and white, and this is the only photo that's ever come out like this – but sometimes it's 'little accidents' like this that make for a really great shot.
6. Sometimes the story behind a photograph is almost as important as the image itself. That's probably the case with this shot of Team Grandland's Manny McManMan from last year's Men's World Cup in Birmingham. There had been a lot of rumours buzzing around the tournament regarding the Grandland squad's eligibility. Although the MRDA [men's derby governing body] have a commendable policy of not discriminating against players that identify as non binary rather than male, there was a growing feeling amongst other national teams that the Grandland squad was essentially a group of women who had drawn beards and moustaches on their faces. Although a lot of the crowd backed Grandland's involvement, things took an unexpected turn when one of the tournament organisers bought an atlas and discovered there was actually no such country. It was then their bench coach admitted that in fact, yes, they were all British women who simply wanted to take part in a World Cup. Despite widespread support in the venue, Grandland were kicked out of the tournament. This was a real shame – particularly as they had already qualified for the semi-finals – and I hope this photo in some way reflects that. Thank you for letting me share my top six roller derby images with you. And remember, the next time you pass someone waking up in a hedge, don't immediately assume it's a tramp. It could well be a top derby photographer (me). Cheers.
Do you agree with Trapper that these are the six best roller derby images of all time? If not, which pictures do you think are?

Do you enjoy your own company? Why or why not?
Yes ofcourse. I think we should all enjoy our own company because if you can't enjoy being with you, how can you expect others to? I think I kind of prefer my own company these days and I am kind of a loner. This came, not by choice, but overall through the events and experiences that I have had combined with the fact that a lot of people are assholes at times.
So I don't mind going out by myself, going for a movie or some lunch or dinner. I can go and sit in a bar by myself and drink for a few hours and go online on my phone and read stuff. Or chill to the music in the bar. I would love to do that at home too if I afford to get air-conditioning throughout the apartment. I'd keep ice for my vodka and Sprite or cold beer and order in some of my favourite food and watch football or a movie.
I like going to movies by myself, sitting in the more comfy recliners and munching on popcorn and drinking cola and immersing myself in the movie. I don't mind my company and even enjoy it a lot.

What is Custom Fitting?
We are the number one custom fitting centre in Scotland. Custom fitting is what we do
What is Custom Fitting?
Every golfer is different. We're all different shapes, different sizes and we most certainly all have different golf swings. Our custom fitting service means we can adapt clubs to suit your requirements, both physically and to aid your desired consistent ball flight.
At the Kings Links Golf Centre, the majority of clubs we sell are custom fit. We have the most experienced and PGA trained club fitters in the North East and we offer the largest selection of carts from all the main golf manufacturers. What's more we use proper golf balls and most importantly, we use ball flight.
The key to our success is our 350 yard driving range which enables us to track and see your ball flight. We could not, and wouldn't want to do what we do if we were fitting in a net. Through seeing the golf ball and having technology that tracks the ball for the entire flight, we take out all the guess work that you get when being fitted in a net. We are the busiest independent custom fitting centre in Scotland because we fit on ball flight.
Who Needs Custom Fit?
We have two types of customer, the ones who get fitted to optimise their ball flight and the ones who get fitted to optimise the performance of their golf clubs. Generally, customers looking to optimise their ball flight are mid to high handicappers, or beginners looking for a consistent ball flight. The customers looking at performance are generally 'the regulars' who will try and seek out every inch of performance available to them.
The performance of the current range of equipment is something many golfers are sceptical about. We don't promise to find you x amount of yards. We will always give you an honest comparison of your current equipment against what is new on the market. If we can find improved performance, great. If not, you know you're already using the right clubs for you!

Accompanists: Guhan Venkataraman – Veena | Vignesh Venkataraman – Mridangam
Dr. Padma Sugavanam is an A-graded Carnatic vocalist, and also an academician with a Ph.D. in Sanskrit and Music from the Madras University. Padma has served as a Lecturer of Music for ten years, in the Sri Venkateswara College of Music and Dance, Tirupati. Born in Canada, her parents relocated to India for her to train in the Gurukulam system. Commencing her training with Smt Geetha Ramachandran, she later learned from Sangita Kala Acharya Smt Seetha Rajan for over 20 years.
Padma was awarded a coveted A-grade as a special double-promotion when she was just 22 years old, which is a rare honor. She also received a gold medal in her MA degree around the same time. Padma aspired for academic scholarship alongside performing excellence and hence pursued a Ph.D. along with a faculty position in the SV college, Tirupati. She has also published several academic research papers, while simultaneously balancing a busy performing career.
Padma has performed in most major sabhas in India and has also done seven international concert tours – the most recent being a 17-concert tour of US in Spring season 2016, followed by a tour of Singapore and Malaysia. Padma was awarded the Outstanding Vocalist award in her category in 2014, at the prestigious Madras Music Academy.
Guhan Venkataraman, a Ph.D. student at Stanford University, USA, is a vainika of the Karaikudi parampara. He started learning veena from his mother Smt. Lakshmi Venkataraman at age eight, and continued his discipleship under Kalaimamani Smt. Ranganayaki Rajagopalan (herself a direct disciple of the legendary Karaikudi Sri. Sambasiva Iyer). He continues to enlarge and refine his scholarship and repertoire under the tutelage of Sri R. K. Shriramkumar and Delhi Sri P. Sunder Rajan.

The Pul-Man has been designed for the more advanced restorer. It can be used by those who have gained sufficient growth of skin to half cover the glans (head of the penis), when the penis is in the flaccid state.
What is it?
As the name suggests, it is a device which needs some form of tension to be applied to it. i.e. A weight or an elastic strap. The Pul-Man consists of an outer ring with a wire handle and a separate central conical plug. The foreskin is pulled up through the hole in the outer ring and folded outwards over the ring. With the skin held in this position, the plug is inserted into the foreskin and then the skin is released. An elastic strap or weight is attached to the wire handle to tension the device. There is hole through the centre of the plug to facilitate urination. A safety tether is provided to anchor the plug to the outer ring.
How does it work?
The foreskin is held between the conical hole in the outer ring and the conical plug. The plug self-centres within the foreskin, and as tension is applied to the outer ring, the skin trying to pull out of the bottom of the device, pulls the plug down into the ring. This movement applies a gentle gripping action onto the foreskin and holds it in place.
How long can I wear it?
It is possible to wear the Pul-Man 20 or more hours a day. However, it is advisable to take it off for a period of an hour or so once or twice a day. This rest period removes any slight blood flow restriction and keeps the skin in good condition. It is important to wash your penis regularly and at the same time, apply a non greasy, water based skin cream to the shaft skin.
The device is custom made on a lathe from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) plastic rod. "PVC has been used for more than 40 years in medical products which have greatly improved the health and well being of hundreds of millions of patients", quote from EUCOMED report – PVC for Medical Products – EFG (24.11.99).
The advantages of the Pul-Man.
* No sticky tape!
* Light and comfortable to wear.
* It can be worn for 20 or more hours a day.
* Most activities including jogging, gardening, and D.I.Y. are no problem.
* Can be worn unobtrusively especially under a Track suit.

মনে হল যেন পেরিয়ে এলেম
Mone holo jeno periye elem
I feel I walked countless miles,
Navigating barren deserts
To touch luscious meadows, sweet opulence,
Just to arrive at your door.
I braided moist jasmines on my pathway,
Their fragrance, a somber devoted eagerness;
Please do not embarrass their love, unmasked.
Clouds laden with rain dim the forest,
The air singes with the mysterious pain
Of loving to get lost.
There is a solitary lamp at your window
That I note from afar; my eyes, dying, yearning birds
In a murky thundershower.

Can't Collect without the game Freezing -- anyone else?
A place for farmers to discuss the latest missions and post mission information!

Can't Collect without the game Freezing -- anyone else?
I set my animals up to make products using gas as usual but when they're done I can't collect. If I click on the green bar that says "collect" the whole game freezes and I have to restart. I can't take the animals out of the Animal House(same result - game freezes). I've missed my Market order, can't finish the Christmas Tree Mission and I can't make the basic ingredients for most products (Corn, Milk, Eggs, Flour). I've tried uninstalling Gameroom and reinstalling (yes, I play on Gameroom rather than on Facebook) It doesn't work any better on Facebook right now either. In fact when my husband loaded up his game on Facebook they put him back to the very beginning and he's Level 92! Please tell me if anyone else has had or is having the same problem and if you fixed it please tell me how you did it. Please and Thank-you in advance for any help.

What about the happily ever after? After the fasting, after the pre-packaged foods, after the maintenance?
Despite all the structure and support weight loss programs offer, only a slim 5% of dieters are able to keep their weight off after two years in the real world. Keeping it off and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are the real clinchers.
Fewer people dieting and more people losing weight more successfully is what Dr. Wayne Callaway, an endocrinologist and member of the current Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee for the USDA, would like to see.
Callaway says the new dietary guidelines offer suggestions for people to lose weight safely and keep it off.
The guidelines also redefine the language a bit and now talk about healthy weight rather than desireable or ideal. Callaway said that of all the people who went on a weight loss program last year, only 10% of them listed better health as a reason for wanting to lose weight.

In a break from our scheduled program.....4 Races, 2v2, People of the interwebs!, this is my first actual battle report….
First of all sorry about no pics of the battle, there will be some next time. The races…
First up we have the Tau, 1750 each who are teaming with my Blood Angels, their force roughly consists of –
Crysis suit commander and bodyguard
3 sets of 2 man squads of crisis suits with a shield drone
2 Large squads of Kroot with hounds
Path finders, devilfish
A small squad of firewarriors
2 x 2 railguns with 2 shield drones each
Blood Angles army (mine) is –
2 Jump Librarians with shield and fear
2 Jump priests
6 man death company with lemartes
Death company dread
Storm raven
2 10 man Assault squad one with flamers and one with meltas
2 x 5 man missile launcher dev squads
This is up against orks and eldar, orks consisting of –
30 boyz squad
Deff dread
10 ardboys with nob in a trukk
6 meganobs in a trukk
Looted tank with battle cannon
10 man commando squad
Squad of 5 deffkoptors with buzz saws and the s8 ap2 weapon
And finally the Eldar have –
1 dire avengers squad
1 pathfinders squad
Warwalkers x3 with the 4 shot gun and bright lances
1 squad of dark reapers
1 wraithlord
1 10 man squad of wraith guard
So those are the sides, we rolled objectives and placed 5, 3 were on our side and 2 on the other side of the table with spearhead deployment. We rolled off and won, opting to go first deploying all the railguns, crisis commander and 2 dev squads.
Orks and eldar (perhapsh foolishly?) deployed everything and failed to seize. Kommandos infiltrate right in front of us and koptors scout forward.
Turn 1 (BA/TAU)
Nothing on our side moves, 8 missles only kill 2 koptors and the railguns blow a weapon off a trukk with nobs in it and explode the looted tank.
Turn 1 (Ork+Eldar)
Koptors move forward and shoot at some railguns but don't wound. Trukks move forward. Eldar shoot with everything at the railguns on the right side but somehow fail to kill them. Pathfinders kill a few tau pathfinders and pin them.
Turn 2 (BA/TAU)
Missiles kill 1 more koptor and other squad kills nothing after some saves. Railguns wipe out a trukk and the deff dread. 2 squads of blood angels jump in and 1 flames and kills the eldar pathfinders, the other melta's the other trukk.
Turn 2 (Ork/Eldar)
Orks charge railguns on the left and kill a done, making them run off the board, eldar finish off the railguns on the right side leaving none left. Orks from the trukk were mostly killed by the explosion but what's left and the komando's charge my blood angel squad that blew up their ride. In the following combat most of the orks are killed, nobs manage to kill 4 blood angels but they loose combat, both squads below 50 unable to rally run off towards the edge of the board.
Turn 3 (BA/TAU)
Storm raven flies, Some crisis suits come in and shoot at the mega nobs making them run, Melta blood angels move back onto the middle objective, other squad moves forward and attempts to kill the koptors so theres now only 1 left. It passes its morale test so librarian fear of darkess's it and it fails and heads off towards the other side of the board unable to rally. Missiles do nothing again.
Turn 3 (Ork/Eldar)
Wraith guard shoot the storm raven but only stun it, warwalkers also shoot it with everything they have but fail to cause any damage, shaking it twice. Mega nobs continue to run, ghaz moves forward towards the marines on the left side.
Turn 4 (BA/TAU)
Avatar is killed and the tau come on from the side, unfortunately it's the wrong side and all the can do is shoot ghaz, they take 2 wounds off him however. Marines charge him after that, killing him without taking a wound thanks to I5. Missiles kill the farseer which the death company and death company dread leave the storm raven and charge then kill the wraith guard squad without taking a casualty.
Turn 4 (Ork/Eldar)
Nobs rally and start moving back towards the death company dread who had to move towards them, they charge and kill it but loose a couple of nobs in the process. Wraithlord kills a crisis team, rest of their shooting does not do anything.
Turn 5 (BA/TAU)
Death Company run off after the fleeing orks they will never catch. Kroot move to join BA squad on left objective while other kroot squad moves up the board a bit. Missles thin out the 30 boyz squad on the far left objective. Crisis suits kill a few dark reapers and dire avengers while a war walker is killed by blood strike missiles. Remaining meganob runs again this time unable to rally.
Turn 5 (Ork/Eldar)
Eldar shooting wipes out a crisis team then takes 1 down from another squad, orks shoot the kroot, killing a few.
Game goes onto turn 6
Turn 6 (BA/TAU)
Storm raven lascannons the running mega nob for shits and giggles. Most of the dark reapers are killed leaving the exarch. Dire avengers are killed and the remaining 20 or so orks on the other side are wiped out in a barrage of 8 frag missles. Tau move up onto the objective there.
Turn 6 (Ork/Eldar)
The few remaining eldar fail to do anything and the game ends here with 4 objectives to 0.
So again this was my first battle report of a battle that has been my first game for over 3 months, it was a bit of a slaughter but good fun for all round. Any feedback you may have on the format of this report please let me know so I can take it onboard before the next game!

So I've been away from the blog for awhile. I have been really busy at work and had a really bad cold that's just got me down and out.
I also helped to organize a 24 person dinner party that happened Saturday evening. It was a lot of work but came off beautifully. Spanish theme. I made my first seafood paella. The best part of the evening was when the Chilean attendee (who sort of inspired our theme) came in and said "It smells like home in here." My friend and I high-fived! We nailed it!
Work will keep me hopping until the end of the year and then I'm looking forward to an entire week off. Stein and I are planning on spending 3 nights in Banff. Also, I picked up tickets to see Brian Setzer. I can't wait to dance like crazy at that show.
I hope to be back to sewing and blogging soon. Until then here are pictures from Banff from 2007.

For those in Colorado who wish to protect themselves against financial loss, a marital contract is a good place to start. However, there are other available options beyond a prenuptial agreement, many of which are overlooked. Preserving wealth should be a top priority, and the following tips are offered to help individuals understand the choices they have in meeting their goals.
State's high court says "no" to vacating divorce
When most people think about divorce, they view the matter as a firm and final end of the romantic bond between two spouses. In reality, however, many couples will reunite after they have filed for and received a divorce. It is important for couples in Colorado and other states to understand that they may not be able to have the legal end of their marriage reversed in such cases. One state's Supreme Court recently ruled on the matter, and refused to vacate a divorce decree for a couple who want to "undo" their divorce.
Palin child custody case will begin with a paternity test
The Palin family is back in the news as Bristol Palin, daughter of former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor Sarah Palin, prepares to fight another custody battle. Bristol recently gave birth to her second child, a girl. Palin is unwed, and she recently broke off an engagement with a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. He is now opening a child custody case in the matter, and readers in Colorado and across the nation will likely learn a great deal more about the Palins as the case moves through the legal process.
Don't fear negative health consequences from divorce
Most Colorado residents are aware that there are significant health benefits associated with being married. A number of studies have supported this belief, and researchers find that married people are often happier and healthier than those who are single or those who have gone through divorce. One recent study takes a closer look at the matter, and the results suggest that simply being married may not be enough; the quality of the union may also have an impact on health.

Ford Ka 1.2 Studio Offers

Navajo Sterling Silver Bisbee Turquoise Pendant - Allison Lee (#162)
Navajo Jewelry
3" x 3 3/4"
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every purchase.
Bisbee Turquoise
Bisbee turquoise jewelry is highly coveted by collectors worldwide. The signature look for Bisbee turquoise is a dark lavender blue color with a deep chocolate brown to black matrix. Some of the most distinctively recognizable Indian jewelry has been set and photographed containing classic Bisbee turquoise. As with all turquoise, there is a wide variety of quality from the Bisbee mine where color and matrix patterns can vary a great deal.
The most productive period of the Bisbee turquoise mine was the 1950's and 1960's. The mine has been closed since the early 1970's and is currently owned by Phelps Dodge Corp. Bisbee Mine. Arizona, Cochise County. Turquoise is a copper compound and, in the case of the Bisbee mine, is found in the open pit copper mine known as the Lavender Pit. At this mine, it is typically found as stringers up to a few inches wide; as small nugget-like masses in granite and quartzite; or as minute stringers in massive pyrite.
About the artist:
Allison Lee - Navajo Silversmith:
Speaking of the silver and gold jewelry he hand crafts, Allison Lee's captivating voice is sincere when he says, "One time my uncle told me that everything we build comes from the earth, like the silver that comes from the earth, or the turquoise that comes from the earth. That is a lot of energy. You put it together and you put your heart and mind into a piece. Then sometimes a certain piece of jewelry- I believe- it is made for a certain person. I usually have a ring, or something, that stays with me for about two or three years, until the right person comes along. And then that person buys that piece. I believe that every piece of jewelry that I make is made for somebody out there- it's made for somebody special. Whoever might be having problems, or something like that. In essence, that energy helps that person get help, by wearing pieces that we make. That is the way I look at it.

tiny christmas room
December 12th, 2011
I purchased this room box kit. Before I put it together, I covered the wall with vintage wallpaper from Hannah's Treasures. Even though it wasn't meant for a dollhouse, I thought the scale fit nicely. And isn't the design charming? I just put a piece of wool felt down for the carpet….but I think an area rug will be nice.
Mercedes sent me a great tutorial for a tinsel tree. I used silver tinsel from Blumchen (but used silver pipecleaners for the trunk). I made ornaments from assorted beads.
Do these stockings look okay? I wonder if they don't look a bit too flat. Or maybe that's because I know they are just cut from a single layer of felted wool sweater? I glued a bit of roving to the top to make fuzzy cuffs.
See that candelabra? It had ugly plastic shades…I covered them with a printed cupcake wrapper, cut to size.
And don't you love that green velvet sofa? Another etsy purchase…from here. I bought the framed pictures from here. And the fireplace came unpainted from here.
Won't it be wonderful to peek through a tiny door and see this?
I just love what you've done here. The decorations are so sweet! Have a wonderful holiday. Would love for you to enter my giveaway at
Wow I love this. I used to do rooms (not like this though) when I was a child and this has really inspired me and got me interested again. I never noticed the flat stocking until you said they were flat lol, great work.

Microsoft has received a steady chorus of requests from the MSDN crowd. "Please include Expression Blend in MSDN!". We've lobbied long and hard and Microsoft listened. Today Microsoft announced that both Expression Web and Expression Blend will be in MSDN.
Excellent news!
From Soma Somasegar
Based on this feedback, I am pleased to say that we will be making Expression Blend and Expression Web available to all MSDN Premium subscribers shortly after the release of Expression Studio (Q2 2007). Expression Blend and Expression Web are intended to help creative professionals collaborate with developers to create rich user experiences for the Web, Windows Vista applications and beyond, which means we need to make sure both tools are readily available to our developer community.
The decision extends to all MSDN Premium subscribers, including those with Visual Studio Professional and Visual Studio Team Editions. For customers that have premium subscriptions to Visual Studio Team Suite, we will be making the entire Expression Studio available to them.

- Make sure that its easy to pronounce - There's nothing worse than stumbling over the hero's name every time he makes and appearence. It's also fine to take a popular name and give it an unusual spelling, but make sure you tell us how to say it or else we won't.
- Take ethnicity, background into account - If your hero is hispanic, why are you going to give him the name Ken? The same goes for naming all of your ethnic characters the same ones that other authors have already used like Carlos. Please pick something else.
- Meaning vs Substance - Sometimes it's necessary to name the character something that has a meaning to it. That's fine, but make sure that we are clear on what that meaning is. Don't just mention it once and never again in the story. Make sure the meaning becomes and underlying theme or back story.
- Tough guy, wimpy name - If your character is strong, make sure the name is too. There's nothing worse reading about a rugged, cowboy who doesn't have a name to match. The same goes for your heroine. If she's strong, don't pick Jennifer because it's the first one that came up on the baby name list. Pick one that is strong and feminine at the same time.

What's in a name? Plenty...
As with naming your kids, naming your character is very important to the success of your story. You want to pick a name that fits your hero or heronie's personality and is cool at the same time. I've read plenty of stories where the name just doesn't fit the heroine and I spend the rest of my time wondering why he's named "x" not "y" instead of enjoying the story. Keeping a list of names you like or using one of the baby naming sites is fine, but how do you choose the right name from thousands of choices? I have come up with a few guidelines:

With the ceremony at Castle Leod we made good use of the castle and the garden for some family photos and some more intimate photos of Louise and Alexander. finally arriving at The Pavillion for the meal and evenings entertainment.
