Our expertise has enabled us to provide an impeccable spectrum of services related to installation & maintenance of all kinds of fire fighting equipments which includes the followings in which our company deals. We take pride in saying that we are a notable fire safety equipments supplier and fire extinguisher supplier also providing fire extinguisher refilling services as a part of maintenance.
A well-designed wet riser/hydrant system is the backbone of fire protection systems for modern buildings and is mandated by the local Fire Brigade, insurance authorities and other regulatory bodies. A typical building normally has two or more shafts, which travel from the lowest level of the building to its terrace. Such shafts are normally used to carry the piping for the wet-riser systems. Hydrant outlets are provided on every floor so that the entire floor area of the building is adequately covered.
Outlets are provided in the form of double-outlet landing valves. Apart from a canvas hose for the use of fire-fighting personnel in the event of fire, a rubber hose of 20 mm diameter is also provided, mounted on a hose-reel drum to enable volunteers from the general public to help fight incipient fires.
All wet-riser pipes remain charged with water at systems pressure. The opening of a hydrant landing valve or hose reel on any floor reduces the pressure in the pipeline and starts the hydrant pump. Pump-sets of suitable capacity are provided for this purpose. Apart from the wet riser system, hydrant points should also be provided at strategic locations around the building at ground level. These 'yard hydrants' are of immense use on fire fighting.
Water must be made available through reservoirs in adequate quantities at convenient locations. Periodic drills should be conducted by opening the hydrant valves to ensure proper operation of the systems.
Hydrant Systems can be of two types :(a) External Hydrant System, where the hydrants are installed in the open, like the city or town water mains, or hydrant systems installed in the open areas in industrial or such other occupancies; and (b) Internal Hydrant System, installed in buildings or structures to be protectedWe design an integrated Hydrant System as per national and international norms. We consider capacity of fire pump, size and arrangement of pipes used for hydrant system, pressure at hydrant point against the available fire risk. Our designed Hydrant System is an arrangement of piping, valves, hose connection and allied equipment installed in building and structure with connection located in such a manner that water can be discharge in stream of spray patterns through attached hose and nozzle for the purpose not only extinguish the fire but at the same time save the occupants and contents of area in with better response time.
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected. Although historically only used in factories and large commercial buildings, home and small building systems are now available at a cost-effective price. These sprinklers are manufactured by leading fire fighting equipments manufacturers and thus product performance is assured.
Pump-sets of suitable capacity are provided for water supply to hydrants & sprinkler systems. Because of the static pressure differential caused by the change in floor height, a multi-stage pump is employed so that different tapping can be taken from the output of the pump. Each of these tapping can be used to serve more than one floor. Pumps-sets should be fed with reliable electric supply from a separate feeder and it is therefore also desirable to have a stand-by diesel pump.
CO2 Fire Extinguishing System is a total Flooding system for the protection of machinery spaces, pump rooms and cargo holds. It can be designed as a central bank and with a local protection of smaller spaces such as Paint Locker, Purifier Room, Galley Exhaust Duct etc. Cargo Holds Smoke Detection System can also be included in the CO2 System. The number of CO2 cylinders is calculated according to the size of the largest protected area. In a central bank system, more than one space can be protected. This advance system is developed by authorized and renowned fire safety equipments manufacturers in the world
CO2 Fire Extinguishing System is built-up using standardized components
The CO2 cylinders, distribution valves are located in a central location. The system is activated manually from the release cabinet located in the Fire Station or just outside the CO2 Room. When activated, the pilot gas opens the main valve of the space on fire and the CO2 cylinders after a time delay. At the same time, alarm is activated to warn personnel in the area. CO2 gas is discharged into the space within 2 minutes
FM-200 Engineered Fire Suppression Systems are designed for total flooding in accordance with NFPA 2001, This system is Environmentally-friendly and preferred fire suppression system for vital facilities that can't afford fire-related business interruption of process controls, automated industrial operations, robotics, etc. Active on fire, but inert on people; non-toxic when used per NFPA Standard 2001. Safe, no-residue protection for Class A, B and C fires. Designed for maximum protection with minimum hardware; less space, lower cost.

Remember my first entry in this thing? It was about Pokemon, one of my favorite game series. Well this entry is about another one of my favorite game series! Kirby! You know Kirby, that super tuff pink puff! Well I love that squishy guy. And I'm about to tell you why!
Psychobabble #8
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby, it's the name of the game!
Kirby is, without a doubt, my favorite video game series. I don't know why, but I just love sucking and blowing as a pink putty ball. It all started with Nightmare in Dreamland. I don't know when I got it exactly, I just remember playing it on my Game Boy Advance SP when I was seven or eight. I though inhaling enemies and using their powers against them was super cool. And doing all that as a cute pink puffball was even cooler! But that beginning burst of Kirby ended in year, as Pokemon Fire Red became my newest obsession. And due to some unforeseen circumstance (me completely losing the game), I had actually forgot about what I liked about Kirby.
That was until I played Kirby and the Amazing Mirror a while later. Oh man did I love that game… Just like Nightmare in Dreamland, I don't remember how or when I got Amazing Mirror. I know it was a little bit after the original Nintendo DS came out, but that's about it. What I do remember though, is loving Amazing Mirror right off the bat. All of the copy abilities, the four player Kirby action, the large interconnected metroidvania style world, and all the collectibles! I spent a lot of time playing that game. Not only is Amazing Mirror my favorite GBA game, but my top game of all time. And after all that time, when I saw Kirby and the Amazing Mirror on the 3DS eShop, I immediately downloaded it and played it again!
But back to the past. Following my trend of getting games late in their life, I had gotten a GameCube pretty much right when the Wii was first announced. While I had fun with my Cube right when I got it, I only really played a few games on it. Those games being Super Smash Bros Melee, Custom Robo, Crash Tag Team Racing, Rampage, and Kirby Air Ride. (I also played Twilight Princess on my GameCube but the game wasn't mine and I never even finished it) Even though the games I had were few, the hours I put into Melee and Air Ride made it all completely worthwhile. I have so many fond memories of playing Air Ride weekend mornings with my little sister… Even though all we really did was fool around in the city mode, it was great fun.
By that time I had ditched my Game Boy and moved onto the DS, with Kirby Squeak Squad! Another Kirby game I played a butt ton off, even though I didn't LOVE it as much as Amazing Mirror. But Squeak Squad propelled me further into Kirby regardless. Since Squeak Squad, I had bought every following Kirby game. Super Star Ultra, Epic Yarn, Mass Attack, Return to Dream Land, the Dream Collection (which allowed me to play all the main Kirby games I had missed), Triple Deluxe, and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse…. And I'll soon be getting Planet Robobot!
Even though I'm a lot older than I was when I first played Kirby, that pink blob of suck will always mean a lot to me. While the skill level of Kirby is quite low, it's all just simple and cute fun. And that's what video games are supposed to be, fun. Kirby is my absolute favorite game series due to that fact. I had fun with every Kirby game I've played.And that aspect of fun makes Kirby my number one! Ranking first among Pokemon and Smash Bros and Tekken. And, uh… And Kingdom Hearts…

March comings and goings - first purchase-free month of 2016!
Comings - 1
- Swarovski necklace - a gift from my Godmother
Goings - 4 (+1 from February)
- Adidas Superstars - I actually forgot to include this in my February count, but I let these go as they were a lot more worn looking than I remembered.
- 2 Eddie Bauer sundresses - I bought these not because I loved them, but I needed something light for a trip I was taking a few years ago. I only wore them a couple of times each but never was too impressed with them. I held on to them because it seemed like a waste, but it's just as much a waste if I'm not wearing them and they're taking up closet space.
- Vintage wedges - I love them and they're super cute but the other day I tried wearing them to work and had to change out of them immediately by the time I got there. I think I wore them before, I wasn't doing too much walking. The walking distance I have for my commute to work isn't even that long.
- Navy Zara kitten heels - SO sad about these as they just became a wardrobe staple but unfortunately they make an incredible amount of noise on the concrete. Constantly squeaking and in trying to walk a certain way to avoid the squeaking, have been causing me pain. So choked to let these go as they went so well with a lot of my outfits, but there's just no way around it =(
On a plus side, to-date, I'm already 4 pairs of shoes in (or gone, depending on how you look at it haha) towards my goal of letting go 5 pairs of shoes this year.

As the holidays approach, I reflect on how tricky they were for my son Joshua. There are a number of things going on at one time, which often challenge an Autistic child, regardless of where they are on the spectrum. By no means did we ever expect our family and friends to cater to us, but there are issues that affect an Autistic child that often do not affect a "typical" child.
Here are some things we were challenged with as parents during the holidays. I hope you find this helpful.
1. Schedule Change
We were lucky that Joshua did well with schedule changes as long as he knew they were coming. He liked to know what days of the week he had school and what days we had company coming over for dinner. He likes to go to bed around the same time every evening and get up at the same time every day. He even preferred to watch the same shows pretty consistently and when it wasn't on it was very upsetting.
So holidays made for a very difficult time with the schedule. Sometimes family were in from out of town and wanted to do things that ran late. And generally lunch wasn't served at 11 AM like he was used to. So we did everything we could to prepare him for the schedule changes on holidays, but it was still definitely a challenge. When you compiled it with some of the other things below it could prove to be too much for your toddler.
2. Touchy Feely
It's true that relatives want to squeeze your cheeks and tell you how big you are. Joshua was actually an affectionate kid for having Autism, but didn't always do well when people he didn't see on a consistent basis wanted hugs. He also generally didn't want to sit still unless maybe you were reading him a book….
3. Food changes
I'm pretty sure Joshua could've lived off of mac & cheese and chicken nuggets for his entire life. He definitely had (okay maybe still has) a lot of texture issues with food. Common foods on holidays such as mashed potatoes or green beans with "stuff "in them were foods that he definitely did not prefer. I didn't want my kids to be the ones who had to have different food from everyone else, so we've tried really hard to get him to eat whatever one else was eating. Sometimes we succeeded…other times…not so much.
4. Noise
Families can be loud. I mentioned this in this post – but Joshua didn't like all the noise. From watching football games and cheering to all the laughter and the storytelling, it's not the quiet house that Joshua was used to. It seems standoffish when he wants to consistently leave the room that everyone is hanging out in or when he tries to cover his ears. Sometimes he did this by putting one hand over one ear and then putting the other ear tight to his shoulder.
5. Sharing
As a general rule, sharing stinks all the time. For Joshua it was even more so when he had all his toys lined up in a row or had things in a particular way and people would actually want to play with them. We knew sharing was an important lesson for him to learn and holidays were often a great time to try to introduce this but again, compiled with any of the things above it can make for a rough day.
Whether you have a child with any special needs or not, what challenges do you face during the holidays?

At least 107 states are set to open up customs and port procedures by the end of this year, easing cross-border movement of goods across the world.
The states are expected to sign the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) in Nairobi by December 18 during the World Trade Organisation's first ministerial conference in Africa.
"The TFA can make sure that trade really works. This is why it is so important to put it into effect as soon as possible. The ratification and entry into force of the TFA must be high on every WTO member's agenda," said Foreign Affairs and International Trade secretary Amina Mohamed who will chair the December global event.

Joaquin Phoenix is a Sleazebag in James Gray's "Low Life"
Posted: June 1st, 2011 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Deadline has learned that Marion Cotillard (Inception), Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator) and Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) are in talks to star in "Low Life," a new film by "We Own The Night" writer/director James Gray.
Cotillard will play a woman attempting to immigrate from Poland, but her American dream turns into a nightmare. While sailing to Ellis Island and a new start, her sister grows deathly ill and she is forced to trade sexual favors for medicine and food to keep her sister alive. Once they land, she is warned to keep quiet about what happened. Though she does, she walks away with immigration papers that deem her a woman with bad morals. With no place to go, she falls prey to a charming sleazebag (Phoenix), who persuades her to turn tricks in New York.
Renner will play the sleazebag's cousin, a magician who sweeps the young woman off her feet and is her best chance to escape the nightmarish life she has fallen into.
This will be Gray's fourth film with Phoenix, who previously starred in "The Yards," "We Own The Night" and "Two Lovers." Shooting is set to begin next year.

Joaquin Phoenix is a Sleazebag in James Gray's "Low Life"
I think there might be too many words in that headline.

Sounds like crap and Phoenix was only good in Gladiator because he was perfect as a little jealous bitch.How he got famous is a mystery like Obama running for President.
No Wahlberg this time Gray is he too busy flying like a peac*ck?
on June 1st, 2011 at 8:39:56 AM
I guess Phoenix was trying to be funny by putting good bye backwards,it really shows how creative and talented he really is.
on June 1st, 2011 at 11:18:11 AM
Walk the Line and Gladiator, he was decent in those two films, moreso in the former than the latter, though I have to admit he really made me hate his character in Gladiator.
Don't really care for this guy though, he has obnoxious f*ckstick written all over his career, and I can't see how he hasn't been replaced by some other young actor, because he doesn't bring anything to the table, save the I have a cleft lip but I can still be a star thing, so screw off Phoenix.
on June 1st, 2011 at 1:48:12 PM
Only funny thing, good scene he ever had in his career was in Signs, when he was watching the video on TV of the aliens, and he was yelling in Spanish at the kids to move.
on June 1st, 2011 at 2:12:56 PM
Oh yeah, Signs, totally radical film...

The US government is telling itself fairy tales of "drill baby drill" and "Saudi America," fancifully imagining that they don't need Russian oil or gas. Well, Europe needs Russian oil and gas, and the demand met in Europe means lower prices everywhere. Oil is fungible. If Europe is energy starved because of a Russian cut off, energy prices in the USA will be much higher. Now Russia is making deals to sell oil and gas to India and China, after the disgraceful actions in Ukraine by EU and USA. The punishment is coming.
Last week we reported that while the West was busy alienating Russia in every diplomatic way possible, without of course exposing its crushing overreliance on Russian energy exports to keep European industries alive, Russia was just as busy cementing its ties with China, in this case courtesy of Europe's most important company, Gazprom, which is preparing to announce the completion of a "holy grail" natural gas supply deal to Beijing. We also noted the following: "And as if pushing Russia into the warm embrace of the world's most populous nation was not enough, there is also the second most populated country in the world, India." Today we learn just how prescient this particular comment also was, when Reuters reported that Rosneft, the world's top listed oil producer by output, may join forces with Indian state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp to supply oil to India over the long term…

Immigration Reform
Instead of building walls, we must build bridges. Passing comprehensive immigration reform will grow the Texas economy—it will mean more small business startups and more graduating students. In terminating the Deferred Action Child Arrival (DACA) program, Donald Trump and Republicans have only viewed Dreamers as bargaining chips to impose other anti-immigrant proposals. I stand with our Dreamers, many of whom know America as their only home. President Trump's heartless deportation measures only tear families apart and hurt local law enforcement's ability to fight crime. This will not make America great or safe. Instead, we should work together to fix our immigration system.
That is why I am a sponsor of the American DREAM Act, which would create a path to lawful permanent residence and eventually U.S. citizenship for those that meet a set of educational or work criteria. I raised this directly with President Trump at the White House. I opposed any end-of-the-year appropriations bill that lacked full protection for our Nation's Dreamers.
We also cannot turn our backs on refugees and people of the Muslim faith. President Trump's un-American, unconstitutional, anti-Muslim immigration order is limited to certain Muslim-majority countries, but excludes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, where all but one of the 9/11 hijackers originated, and excludes countries with a Trump Tower or a Trump Golf Course. Federal courts have correctly prevented his order from becoming law.
Our Nation, founded by immigrants who established religious freedom as a bedrock principle, is better than this. We must keep the torch lit on the commitment expressed by the Statue of Liberty, and keep our promise to minister to the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

After yet another display of hospitality by Darek (yummy breakfast) he grabbed the car and we set off for train station. Yes, we did miss the train. So we went for a cuppa coffee.
Boarding trains in Poland is a nightmare. To get in you have to climb really steep stairs into a narrow corridor. But we managed with a helpful hand of a random passenger.
We squeezed through to a compartment and sat down. Our backs were killing us. Then the conductor came... and told us to put 2x30kgs of luggage onto the racks which are suspended around 2 meters above the floor. LOVE POLISH RAIL!!!!
But we managed that too. The journey to Olsztyn was actually trouble free. Even getting off was quite easy.
My Mum and Father were waiting for us on the platform (bless). Even though I'm not much of a family person, it was really great to see them. Some minor struggle to get all the THINGS into the car and we went to my Mum's home. AT LAST!!!! CHILL OUT!!!!

The next step in my "zero waste" project is composting my organic waste using worms to speed up the process (ie. vermicomposting)! I've always kind of wanted a worm farm so this is fun for me. I've been trying to grow a garden too so this is a win-win situation! Also one of the major factors for me was that it doesn't produce any offensive odors. These little guys eat up all the waste and turn it into fertilizer for my poor plants!
It's a pretty simple process, this is what I've done so far.
I bought a bin like the one below from wal-mart for about $5. Make sure it's not see through though, the worms don't like sunlight. And you drill holes in the top and sides for aeration (worms gotta breath too!).
Then fill it with bedding. This can be ripped up cardboard, newspaper, papertowels, or brown leaves. Be careful about the paper you use, some colored inks can be toxic. I learned this the hard way! Then moisten the bedding, you want it to feel like a wrought out sponge. Next add some coffee grounds or a scoop of dirt for grit (worms need it to help them digest).
Next, add worms! You can either use red worms or european nightcrawlers. How much you should buy depends on how much waste you produce. I bought 24 at Petsmart for $4.99 because I was really eager the day after I researched this but that is not nearly enough for us. And last night I just bought a pound from Hall's Wormery for $29.50 so they should arrive any day now!
I've let my worms kind of adjust to their new home for a few days before I add a ton of food/waste but after that you can start feeding those puppies! Start little in the beginning and as they adjust and reproduce, you can feed them more and more! Here's a list of stuff you can compost:
Fruits and vegetable scraps
Stale bread
Egg shells
Coffee Grounds
Aged manures
Shredded newspaper
Used papertowels
Tea bags
Oily things
Non-biodegradable substances
Harsh chemicals
I'm pretty excited about this and hope it works out! Here's a great website to read up on if you're interested in starting one too! Red Worm Composting.

|[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-3672) Expose disk-location information for blocks to enable better scheduling
|Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:39:19 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3672?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13431802#comment-13431802 ] Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-3672: -------------------------------------- bq. Why is this API marked @InterfaceAudience.Public. I think we should remove it and just leave InterfaceStability.Unstable I was under the impression that all public classes needed to have an @InterfaceAudience annotation, and all public classes needed to have an @InterfaceStability annotation unless they're marked @InterfaceAudience.Private. Am I wrong about that? bq. Configuration to turn off this functionlity should be on the server side also. Otherwise a client can just enable this functionlality without the admin having control over it. I thought about this a fair bit while reviewing the code. The conclusion that I came to is that the stated reason that Arun wanted this feature disabled by default was "so that people who use this understand that this isn't necessarily supported." A client-side-only config seems to serve that purpose. Making this config server side as well only serves to require the admin enable the config and restart their cluster before some client that wants to try to use this functionality can give it a shot. That seems to me to be a strictly unnecessary pain for both the admin and user that doesn't seem to further Arun's stated goal. For that matter, why would an admin want to prevent clients from calling this API? If you insist on having a server side config for this, I'd like to suggest having two separate configs: a server-side one that defaults to enabled, but so that an admin may consciously disable it, and a client-side config that defaults to disabled so that users of this API must consciously configure their client, to support Arun's stated goal of making sure people are aware that it's an experimental API. > Expose disk-location information for blocks to enable better scheduling > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3672 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3672 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Andrew Wang > Assignee: Andrew Wang > Attachments: design-doc-v1.pdf, design-doc-v2.pdf, hdfs-3672-1.patch, hdfs-3672-2.patch, hdfs-3672-3.patch, hdfs-3672-4.patch, hdfs-3672-5.patch, hdfs-3672-6.patch, hdfs-3672-7.patch, hdfs-3672-8.patch > > > Currently, HDFS exposes on which datanodes a block resides, which allows clients to make scheduling decisions for locality and load balancing.

I'm not sure how a 750W power supply can have 80 PLUS Gold certification only up to 650W with 115 VAC input and still earn a 9.2 review score but that's exactly the case with this review of the Super Flower Leadex II 750W PSU.
The PSU we will look at today is the Leadex II model with model number SF-750F14EG; it holds two 80 PLUS certifications. With 230 VAC input, it is 80 PLUS Gold EU certified at up to 750 W, and with 115 VAC input, it is 80 PLUS Gold certified with up to 650 W. This looks kind of confusing, and this is more of a marketing trick than an actual feature in our opinion. What you should keep in mind is that the SF-750F14EG can deliver 750 W with 115 VAC input; however, it won't deliver Gold-certified efficiency with 750 W.

TV Santhosh's 'Burning Flags' and Ebenezer's 'Holy Smoke'
The themes of violence, injustice, and inequality run through TV Santhosh's practice. Drawing on images and news reports from the media, he combines pointed text and repetitive sculptural forms to make a statement on both the persistent nature of violence and the way it gradually becomes the norm, through recurrence.
His 'Burning Flags' at Aicon Gallery in London takes place in collaboration with The Guild Gallery. This is a suite of paintings in the burning green, yellow, red, and orange hues he is identified with, also incorporating a close-up of a figure gazing at the viewer. Enmeshed quietly in the background, it starkly dominates the foreground as well. With each work mired in the chaos and confusion of war, deliberate referencing of photographic negatives not only comments on the mediation of such frenzied events through the media, but also recreates the drama of the situations the artist is depicting.
An accompanying essay to the exhibition mentions: "The works are hallucinatory; what is it exactly being witnessed by both the protagonists of the paintings and the viewers? Similarly his sculptures gesture towards destruction and waste. They use scrolling neon messages set in what seem imprisonment or torture cells in white. The usage of the neutral medium of white fiberglass directs the pieces towards Hannah Arendt's phrase 'the banality of evil' to suggest that most atrocities are inflicted by ordinary people rather than sociopaths.
"TV Santhosh's watercolors underline this sense of everyday atrocities with their black & white depictions of individuals. It seems a deliberately quieter counterpoint to his work. Evil is both widespread and banal in a world where as the artist points out, utopias seem as distant as they ever have been. His works prompt us to consider the dark side of globalization - the wars fought in the name of religion or nation." The talented artist from Kerala completed his B.F.A. from Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan, and his M.F.A. in Sculpture, from M.S. University, Baroda.
According to him, his recent works are about how the media presents the world to us and how it has the power and the means to reconstruct as well as manipulate our understanding of reality. They specifically investigate into media generated world itself. He elaborates: "It's about a strange world vulnerable to manipulation where one brands someone as one's enemy, loots them, and then destroys their nation and culture - justifying the massacre of innocents in the name of religion and nation."
Simultaneously, Ebenezer Sunder Singh's 'Holy Smoke' is on view at RL Fine Arts, New York. A graduate of the Art Institute of Boston (Lesley University), he treats painting is a cathartic process, drawing from a stream of consciousness. The artist seizes the canvas and creates vibrant paintings that celebrate the art of 'painting' as much as they celebrate human energy and inspiration. He has stated: "I collect my memories; put them on my canvas; turn them into metal, all the while using tones trembling with feeling. The past weighs me down. So I use the mode of sensuality to explore the nuances of spirituality. Feeling the tones helps the present to cut open the past, revealing the unseen. My signs are here as open idioms, exposed to eternity and joining hands with the art of the past."
His new exhibition includes a group of portraits of famous creative 'artists', who are pictured with their personal accessory, a cigarette. The posture of each, defiantly smoking, appears to bond them together as some of them return the viewer's gaze, and others we simply look upon. These artists act as a source of creative energy and focus, each apparently blazing a trail in their respective glowing metiers. In these works, the act of smoking itself as a creative tool, and even, a process, is expressed.
Commenting on the method and thought in the 'Holy Smoke' works, a curatorial essay mentions: "The addition of bulbs on the canvas are used as elements of composition and also, indirectly, as homage to the various personalities, much as one would light a bulb or a flame in commemoration. His 'Dance around the Golden Calf', though seemingly disconnected from the theme of smoking, abounds with the spirit of creative energy that emanates from the colorful and ebullient portraits. It conjures up the spirit of Matisse's famous 'Dance', and yet brings it into the present world, where possibly, the art world dances around the 'golden calf'. The artist's wonderfully loose technique and style leads to brilliant color and bold brushstrokes that produce paintings resonating with energy and life force."
The two simultaneous shows of works by TV Santhosh and Ebenezer Sunder Singh's underline the vibrancy and vitality of their respective art practices.

As a South Indian having Instant Homemade Mango Pickle with yogurt and rice is cocoon food for me.
I always feel cosy and happy instantly after a few bites of this.Such a classic combination.
I have tried this pickle a few times with other spices and temperings,and found that this recipe tastes the best.And what i like is it gets ready in no time,the only thing that takes time is the marination.
Do try it some day ! It is good,really good.
Here is the Easy Instant Mango Pickle Recipe.
2 medium size raw mango
2 tsp salt
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp crushed red chili
1 tsp mustard seeds
few fenugeek seeds
1 heaped tsp hing
5/8 curry leaf
You also need a clean glass jar or bowl,microwave for 1 min after washing it.It must be free of any water.
Mix well with salt and red chili powder,best if you use gloves or just a plastic wrap wrapped to your hands for mixing.
Pickles have longer shelf life if they are untouched by hands.I like to think that,but it depends on how you want to do it.
Keep it covered near a sunny spot for 4/6 hours.If you do not have a sunny spot,just keep it on your kitchen counter for a few hours.It will still taste great.
After letting it sit for a few hours,drain the liquid and get ready for tempering.
Add 2/3 tsp veg oil and temper with mustard seeds,hing,curry leaf and the fenugreek seeds.
Then quickly add the turmeric and crushed red chili,make sure to not burn them,add the mango now.
Toss for 2/3 min and now your done.If you feel you need more salt,feel free to add some.
And now you can serve your very own Tasty Home made Instant Mango Pickle (Achaar)

We the Picaresque
We've been writing about love all along.
Its thousand-fold colors and endless names,
indelible mark and ongoing cloying songs;
how it runs wild, goes astray, or tames.
We yearn and return to another date.
Hope hikes faster after it descends
if the elusive sought-after soul mate
awaits (or is someone else's to lend).
Soon to take chances, we mend on the go.
The odds matter not; we're bound to get past,
wired to wake up, though ragged and slow.
Our faith and our folly get back in the sack.
"Not again" is the lament as before leads to after.
Still, we believe love will grant a new chapter.
Still, we believe love will grant a new chapter.

Meeting the 30,000 young people who had come from Argentina, an event originally not part of the programme, and with the welcome celebration at Copacabana – extremely warm despite the cold – Pope Francis took them to the heart of the World Youth Day. It had begun in a wet, grey Rio de Janeiro but later the sun came out. A few hours earlier the Pope had met the small community of Varghina in the midst of one of the many favelas of the Brazilian metropolis, a real example of the material and existential peripheries which have been the focus of his care as priest and bishop for decades.
Poor people and young people, therefore, but not isolated as if they were categories to be classified or treated ascetically. On the contrary they must be given consideration and, above all, they must be met in their own social context. The Pope had already explained this, speaking to the journalists on the aircraft bound for Brazil, and he repeated it to the thousands of Argentinians who had crowded into the Cathedral of Rio and filled the square outside it: the risk, for everyone, is exclusion. The world crisis has in fact exposed the intolerable dangers inherent in unemployment which stem from the exacerbated and unbridled search for financial profit that seeks to escape all control, a new and dreadful idol.
This then means the marginalization of entire generations; of the young who also represent the future, but also of the elderly who are likewise marginalized and silenced, even to the point that we are reminded of a kind of hidden euthanasia, the Bishop of Rome said, speaking extemporaneously to his fellow countrymen and women, but addressing everyone, as always making an extraordinary impact. The Pope asked them to react to this situation in the name of the Gospel, even at the cost of creating a bit of confusion as an expected consequence of the Day in Rio. I hope there will be a mess, were literally his first words, repeating a sacrosanct concept which he has reiterated on several occasions in the past few months. So that the whole Church will go out of herself and give up her increasingly barren self-referential approach in order to put her stakes on action rooted in prayer and contemplation.
Gestures and words had barely been interwoven in the touching visit to Varginha than they evoked memories of Paul VI's visit to the Tondo neighbourhood in the outskirts of Manila, of so many others on John Paul II's journeys, and of the solicitude of Benedict XVI in Brazil itself, as well as during his visit to Benin. In the small district of poor huts, the Pope was moved as he blessed the wooden altar of the parish church and, like a visiting relative, picked up two children to have himself photographed in a minuscule room and then prayed with the Evangelical faithful who devoutly asked him to touch rosary beads and little bottles of water.
So it was that Pope Francis, Bishop of the Church which has presided in charity over the Catholic communion since ancient times, wanted to show the most authentic face of the Christian faith, the face of mercy, in this long, moving prologue to the Day for the youth of the world whom he welcomed on that damp, cold evening. And he affectionately called to mind his Predecessor, asking them to applaud Benedict XVI: "at this moment, he is watching us" on television, he said. And Francis himself began clapping his hands, followed immediately by the million young people present at Copacabana.

I do not usually speak with such brevity or use the word "rocks." The above quote is from a client. Not one of my clients but of another agent.
I was entering the office a few days ago and a gentleman was leaving the office with another agent. I asked how they were doing, you know, the usual pleasantries. They were going out again to look at listings in Viera, Florida.
I inquired what the out-of-towner (Wasn't there a movie called The Out of Towners?) thought of what he had seen earlier.
His response - the title!
I guess it is all perspective. Prices are attractive in Viera and Suntree (north Melbourne) Florida. Could have been the warm, almost spring like weather (80 degrees today).
If you are considering buying a home in the Brevard County area, I encourage you to take a look at the homes for sale in the areas of Viera, Rockledge and Suntree. If you want a golf course community, you have several choices. If you want a 55+ community, take a look at Heritage Isle or Grand Isle. If you want luxury, take a look at Wyndham Lakes or Summer lakes or Eason Landing or Fairway Lakes or...the choices are many!
If I can assist you in any way, please feel free to contact me - Gary Waters, Florida licensed real estate agent, century 21 Baytree Realty - at 321-693-3850 or email me at email@example.com.
After all .... This market rocks!

Traditional beach house
All of the houses along the beach at Playa Langosta are very nice, in my opinion. This house, however, does not seem to have been constructed to take as much advantage of the view towards the ocean.
On our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week we are showing photos of Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia. It is a coastal community very different than Tamarindo.

Gardening Tools May Contain Toxic Chemicals
Gardening may be the last activity that one would describe as "dangerous," but garden tools that contain dangerous chemicals may be making it just that.
Researchers for the Ecology Center tested about 200 common garden tools - such as gloves, garden hoses, shovels and kneeling pads. They found that two-thirds of the tools contained high levels of dangerous toxic chemicals such as phthalates, lead, and bisphenol A (BPA). These chemicals ranked of "high concern," according to CNN.
Many of the chemicals found in the tools have been linked to impaired learning, birth defects, liver toxicity, and other health problems. Phthalates and lead were found at levels that exceeded standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the hoses and gloves that were tested.
Phthalates – which are used to soften plastic - have been associated with adverse developmental issues and birth defects.
"Gardening products, including water hoses, are completely unregulated and often fail to meet drinking water standards that apply to other products, yet again demonstrating the complete failure of our federal chemicals regulatory system," said Jeff Gearhart, the research director at the Ecology Center.

text: The Work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission The Commonwealth War Graves Commission care for cemeteries and memorials at 23,000 locations, in 154 countries. In Belgium and Northern France, where many of our World War One battlefield tours take place, there are 959 CWGC cemeteries and memorials. Each one is meticulously maintained by the gardeners of the CWGC and are all fine resting places for our honoured dead. To visit them all would probably take a thousand battlefield tours or more. But, how did it all begin? The collection and identification of bodies prior to the First World War was a haphazard affair with many men buried in mass graves. This procedure could well have continued if it had not been for the efforts of one man, Fabian Ware. Fabian Ware was born at Clifton, Bristol on 17 June 1869. He attended the Universities of London and Paris. At the latter he obtained a Bachelier-es-Science in 1894. He then went on to spend the next ten years as an assistant master at several secondary schools, and as an occasional examiner for the Civil Service Commission and Inspector of Schools for the Board of Education. He began writing articles in 1899 for the Morning Post. He became the representative of the Education Committee of the Royal British Commission at the Exposition Universelle (1900) and then obtained a job as Assistant Director of Education in the Transvaal, where after two years was promoted to Acting Director of Education for the Transvaal and the Orange River Colony. Soon afterwards he was made Director of Education on the Transvaal Legislative Council under Viscount Milner. In 1905 he returned to Britain and was appointed editor of the Morning Post, where he remained until 1911 when he became a director of Rio Tinto Limited. When the First World War came along in 1914, Ware tried to join the British Army but was rejected as he was too old. With the assistance of Lord Milner, he obtained command of a mobile ambulance unit provided by the British Red Cross Society. While in command of this unit, Ware was struck by the absence of any official body that collated details and burial places of the dead. Ware set about changing this and founded an organisation to carry out this task. The War Office kept a close eye on this new unit, such as it was and began to recognise Fabian Ware's work. In 1915 Ware and his unit were transferred from the British Red Cross to the Army and the new Graves Registration Commission was founded. By October 1915 31,000 graves had been registered and by May 1916 the total rose to 50,000. It was soon recognised that this organisation needed to represent the 'imperial' nature of the war effort with so many countries of the British Empire making a contribution. In 1917 therefore the Imperial War Graves Commission was established by Royal Charter on 21 May 1917. Some of the principal architects of the day began work on the design and construction of the cemeteries and memorials, embodying the aims of Imperial War Graves Commission. Many battlefield tour travellers admire the architectural designs of Bloomfield, Lutyens and Baker that are apparent at the entrances to these cemeteries. However, arguments arose over the cost, type and size of these cemeteries and memorials and there were even greater difficulties to be conquered. There was major disagreement over the repatriation of remains and the design of private memorials or the type of grave markers to be used. After prolonged discussion it was decided that there would no repatriation of bodies due to the cost involved, especially for those that did not have the necessary financial means. It was also concluded that the grave markers would be of a non denominational type reflecting the religious beliefs of those many nationalities involved. At the end of 1919 the Commission had spent £7,500, twelve months later that figure had risen to £250,000. In France and Belgium over 160 kilometres of cemetery walls had been erected using over 280,000 cubic meters of stone. In 1923 over 4,000 headstones a week were being sent to France and by 1927 more than 500 cemeteries had been completed, containing over 400,000 headstones, 1000 Crosses of Sacrifice and 400 Stones of Remembrance. By 1930 the cemeteries had been completed although memorials were still being erected with the completion of the Thiepval Memorial in 1932 and the Vimy Ridge Memorial in 1936. Although there was little damage to the memorials and cemeteries during the Second World War, the horticultural challenge after that conflict was significant. However by 1948 everything had been restored to the pre war appearance. In 1960 the name of the organisation was changed to 'The Commonwealth War Graves Commission'. The governments of the commonwealth countries contribute on a 'pro rata' basis according to the number of their countrymen buried in the CWGC cemeteries. Accordingly the percentage of contributions is as follows: United Kingdom – 78.43, Canada – 10.07, Australia – 6.05, New Zealand – 2.14, South Africa – 2.11, India – 1.20. In the course of many battlefield tours, Rifleman has only scratched the surface with regards to visiting these cemeteries. But if you have a relative buried in a CWGC cemetery and wish to visit the grave, we will do all we can to make this possible. We even play the Last Post and read the famous exultation as you lay your wreath and pay your respects. We at Rifleman Tours feel this is the least we can do. Lest we Forget

Rating: 8.0/10
Director: Sanoj Mishra
Writer: Kumar Manjul
Stars: Om Puri, Sanjay Mishra, Dolly Chawla, Rishi Bhutani
Runtime: N/A
Genre: Drama
Released: 14 Oct 2016
Synopsis: What's the importance of Gandhiji's values in today's corrupt world? Do they even have any value left? Can anyone lead a peaceful life by implementing those values in day-to-day life? Questions such as these find answers in Gandhigiri. NRI returned Rai Saheb strongly believes in the principles of Gandhi. Infect his father had played an active role in the freedom struggle and was closely associated with him. After returning to India, Rai Saheb comes across four different people who've walked on the wrong paths and made wrong choices due to various circumstances. The movie beautifully captures the efforts made by Rai Saheb to make them realise the importance of Gandhi ji's values in today's age & time.
Review: If you are expecting a Lage Raho Munna Bhai kind of film, be warned; Gandhigiri is anything but that. Apart from a few stray references to Mahatma Gandhi's ideology, it's just the typical wannabe entertainer that is confused between wanting to put forth a social message and making the viewer laugh, at the same time.
The film opens with the introduction of the main characters; lovebirds Yuvraj (Bhutani) and Disha (Chawla), Bansi (Brijesh Karniwal), the pickpocket, and Bakait Singh (Mishra), the gang-leader. The introduction goes on for almost an hour with new characters popping up faster than bhurji-pav stalls on the streets.
Post this; the gang of four is shown trying to rob NRI Rai Saheb (Puri) and ending up in jail. But Rai Saheb is the living example of the generous Karna, and, in an effort to turn Bakait and his gang into good human beings, he brings them home, oblivious to the fact that people are exploiting him. On the other hand, caste-based politics and political goons are taking charge of the town. And there's a love story blooming in the background, too.

Contracts of Employment, Recruitment and Selection
My Distance Learning College
In organizations today, we might consider the proposition that traditional contracts of employment were gradually being replaced by contracts for performance. Despite this change of emphasis, all those who are employed by another party have a contract of employment. This is a legal requirement and it sets out the basic rights and obligations of both the employer and the employee.
In this course, we review the increasing variety of contractual arrangements before examining the practice of recruitment (casting the net to find the people you need) and selection (deciding between alternative candidates) as well as doing some practical work on selection interviewing.
This course covers topics such as:
- Contracts of Employment
- Recruitment
- Selection Methods and Decisions
- Selection Interviewing
- Summary
- Further Reading
- Self Assessment
- Tutor-marked Question Paper
Contracts of Employment, Recruitment and Selection Certificate
Contracts of Employment, Recruitment and Selection Certificate issued by My Distance Learning College, entitling you to use the letters SAC Cert after your name.
AssessmentAfter each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.

Dayton Ward's Thoughts on Canon
By Dayton Ward http://www.daytonward.com
"Canon," for the purposes of Star Trek, is simply the body of work which the creators of Star Trek (episodes and films) decide they're going to observe and with which they're going to remain consistent, and to which licensees such as novel and comic book publishers, video game creators, and so on are required also to remain consistent. This, generally, means that the "Star Trek canon" constitutes the films and episodes, and nothing else. Such a definition is not at all an opinion on the quality of material, be it a movie, novel, game adventure, or whatever. It's simply a practical consideration, particularly in Trek's case, given the sheer amount of material to be considered. That definition can broaden or even be narrowed, of course, depending on the whim of whoever's at the helm of new Star Trek, but the "onscreen stuff only" mantra has tended to serve such people rather well to this point.
Now, if you're not somebody producing a Star Trek movie or television episode, or creating an officially-licensed tie-in product, none of that matters, nor should it matter.
What a lot of folks tend to think of as "personal canon" when including aspects of novels, comics, games, etc. is really more a "personal continuity," and that's a whole other thing. I know it sounds like picking nits, but again, when we're talking about canon, we mean the stuff the people who own and make Star Trek movies and TV will consider as "being real."
As fans, we have far more latitude so far as enjoying our Trek goes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a fan deciding that events from a book or the Star Trek Online game "really happened" to their Star Trek characters, and disregarding those tales they don't like. Example: as a fan, I absolutely loathe the TOS episode "And the Children Shall Lead," and so far as I'm concerned, it NEVER. HAPPENED. Contrast this with my personal view that the events of the Star Trek: Vanguard novel series DID happen. Oh yeah, that's right; I said it. It's all real, at least in my head, and I write those stories with an eye toward having them fit into the actual Star Trek canon as seamlessly as possible.
As a fan? I get to make that choice for my own enjoyment. I don't need the approval of some guy in a Hollywood office to make
that call. I just don't expect the folks at CBS to oblige my quirkiness. On the other hand, when I'm wearing my "Trek writer" hat my desires take a back seat, as I know in the back of my brain that the events of any episode will always have precedence over anything I write for a novel, so far as the actual, observed Star Trek canon is concerned. That's just the way it is.
At least, until I'm in charge of the universe and everything in it, including you.
We now return you to your Facebook page, already in progress.

Norwich City not only recorded their first win of the Premiership season against Arsenal but they kept a clean sheet as well!
Although Arsenal dominated the play they lacked any real threat upfront and the Canaries fully deserved the victory for their whole-hearted display.
Chris Hughton made two changes form the side that were thumped in their last game at Chelsea, before the International break. Michael Turner started in defence instead of Leon Barnett and Anthony Pilkington was recalled to the midfield at the expense of Jonny Howson, who dropped to the bench.
For the Gunners, Arsene Wenger included Jack Wilshire on the Bench for the first in 14 months, after his injury problems and made just one change to his starting 11, with Andre Santos replacing injured defender Kieran Gibbs. This denied the left-back from facing the Club he had a very successful loan spell with.
City started brightly and as early as the second minute created their first opening. Wes Hoolahan set up Pilkington, whose right-foot shot was only narrowly wide as the Arsenal keeper Vito Mannone struggled to get across.
Although many City fans could have been forgiven for thinking that that might be all they could expect from their lowly side, having lost heavily to Chelsea and Liverpool in their last two Premiership games.
Especially when in the next minute Lukas Podolski capped a slick move to glance his shot just wide of the far post.
But they were proved wrong as Grant Holt stunned the Londoners in the 19th minute. Mannone could only spill Alex Tettey's 20-yard shot and Holt was the quickest to react ahead of Per Mertesacker, to slot the ball home to ignite Carrow Road and help lift the anxiety from the home fans.
The determination shown by Holt, was a trait demonstrated by every single Canary and for all their possession, the Arsenal players could not overcome this.
Pilkington floated in a corner that Turner should have punished the Gunners slack marking, but could only direct his free header wide.
The longer the game went on, the less likely it looked that the Gunners would muster anything to trouble England Keeper John Ruddy, who for long periods was a spectator.
In an effort to alter the course of the game, Wenger brought on the fresh legs of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the 65th minute. But he only lasted 9 minutes, after failing to recover from colliding with City defender Bassong and had to be replaced by Andrey Arshavin!
Holt could have made the game secure late on after he made the most of Thomas Vermaelen's slip, to be through on goal with just Mannone to beat but the Italian keeper stood up to him and was able to snatch the striker's chip out of the air.
Although the home fans had to endure a nervous 5 minutes stoppage time, they did their best to help their valiant team across the finishing line with resounding chorus' of On the Ball City ringing out from Carrow Road.
The three vital points catapulted the Canaries out of the bottom three and a point above 17th placed Aston Villa, managed by their old boss Paul Lambert and where they travel to next Saturday!
FULL-TIME: City 1 Arsenal 0

In what could fairly be called a tumultuous federal budget process, we are pleased to report that despite the ongoing dysfunction in Washington, D.C., there comes great news for the Great Lakes. The House of Representatives and U.S. Senate on Monday night (January 13, 2014) released a $1.012 trillion compromise on a 2014 spending bill that would restore funding for the successful Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) to $300 million! That is a huge victory considering that a House committee had earlier purposed just $60 million for the program, which would have stifled the tremendous progress to protect and restore the lakes that has occurred in recent years. While Congress approved $300 million for the GLRI last year, it was brought down to $285 million after cuts due to the sequester.
Well over a billion dollars has been invested in the GLRI in recent years, including $50+ million for 100+ restoration projects in New York State. The GLRI has been putting people to work while cleaning up toxic hotspots in the lakes, fighting invasive species such as the Asian carp, restoring critical habitat for fish and wildlife, and so much more. The GLRI has stood out as an extremely successful program, and support for the program transcends political parties. Its no wonder why, as in New York alone, the lakes provide drinking water to four million residents, support a $2.27 billion recreational fishery and $600 million recreational boating industry, and provide four million jobs. Yesterday's announcement is huge victory for the environment, economy, and quality of life in our region!
In other Great Lakes news, last week the Army Corp of Engineers released its long awaited, congressionally mandated report that should serve as the first step toward building a physical barrier to separate the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins, the foundation of any lasting strategy to stop the movement of Asian carp and other invasive species from one watershed to the other. While the report unfortunately does not provide a recommendation, it does include separating the basins as an option. Independent studies have shown that separating the Great Lakes-Mississippi River system is both feasible and affordable. CCE remains committed to ensuring that Congress take action to implement the only effective strategy to keep Asian carp from decimating the Great Lakes: permanent separation of the basins. You can read the report and find out how to submit comments here.

Pre -blitz, my kitchen would have made Nigella Lawson weep. There was nothing sexy about unless your idea of 'romantic' was a sorry collection of dust covered vases, chipped mugs and mismatched plates, inherited from the previous owner (!) Out of date food silently spoiled in the pantry and my largest unit was a health and safety hazard. If you opened the doors you were in danger of being crushed by a Tupperware Avalanche or suffocated by an armful of paper serviettes.
So I decided to go 'Kondo' on my kitchen, finally purging my self of numerous fruit bowls, boxes and crockery. Out went my gran's chipped storage pots and most of my collection of Art Deco glassware. The bin and donation box were well used and by the end of the day my counter space had doubled. Yet I still managed to keep hold of many of the items I had and although I worked hard there were still areas to tackle which I couldn't fit into a day.
Although Maria Kondo advises de-cluttering quickly in practice, in reality this has been hard as I chose to get my donations out of the house the same day. I therefore lost time going back and forth to the charity shop. The overall time frame for de-cluttering according to Maria is six months. And I've only got a few months left.
The result is my kitchen is not perfect, but it is a lot better. I need another day to sort out the areas I have missed eg the dreaded cutlery drawer, and my next step is to tackle my husband who keeps buying more food than we need. I found that excess food it now cluttering up the counters only to get thrown away when it goes off.
So it's still a work in progress and there are things I should really get rid of… like my green alien head ice bucket…but hey it sparks joy so for now i'm keeping it. However I am mindful of the fact that I am still very far away from my minimalist dream.
