NEW DELHI: Competition Commission has rejected allegations of unfair business practices made against 37 railway signalling cable suppliers even as it suggested that procurement policy of the Indian Railways should be re-assessed to ensure accountability of entities participating in the tendering process.
In a 49-page order, the watchdog said "no case of contravention" of competition norms has been found and disposed of the matter.
There was no violation of Section 3 of the Competition Act that pertains to anti-competitive agreements.
The ruling came on a complaint filed by a North Western Railway official alleging that the 37 entities had formed a cartel for supply of railway signalling cables and that they quoted high rates.
Investigations by the Director General (DG) – the probe arm of the regulator – found that 11 entities had violated competition norms but did not find any contravention by the remaining 26 entities.
"In the present case, neither there is any evidence of anti-competitive agreement or arrangement amongst five sub-sets of bidders nor any circumstantial evidence to establish tacit collusion.
"Even though the DG found certain instances of identical/ similar pricing, the investigation does not bring out that the same was an outcome of collusion," the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said in its order dated July 12.
According to the regulator, owing to structural links and family relationships, among other factors, the five subsets of bidders had the opportunity to exchange information and coordinate their behaviour.
However, the CCI said, "in absence of sufficient and cogent evidence to show collusion", it cannot be conclusively established that they have acted in contravention of the provisions of Section 3.
During the probe, the DG had classified the 11 entities into five subsets on the basis of various factors, including structural links and family relationships.
Paramount Wires and Cables and Paramount Communications; Tirupati Plastomatics and Kanhha Cables; Vindhya Telelinks and Birla Cable; Incom Cables and Incom Wires and Cables; and Myco Electricals, Continental Telepower Industries and Delhi Telecom. The 11 entities were classified into these subsets.
Further, the CCI said the scale of operations of Indian Railways requires an efficient and economical procurement policy which is in tandem with competition laws and promotes competition through open tenders as one of the cardinal objectives.
"The rules governing procurement policy of products by railways should be reassessed to ensure efficiency, transparency and accountability of participants in tenders," the CCI said.

Smexy FAB4 Presents- Sofia Grey's Release Day Blast!
Welcome to my post on Sofia Grey's Craving Release Day Blast presented by Smexy FAB4.
Dante isn't your typical medium. With his leather jacket, tattoos and piercings, he looks more at home on his motorbike than he does holding a séance and Katherine has no intention of getting involved with him. He's the complete opposite of the kind of man she wants and represents everything she's tried to leave behind, but she needs a medium and he's the best one around.
Dante's never allowed himself to get close to anyone for fear of putting them in danger. His craving for Katherine is about to bring his worst nightmares to life. ~

The Minneapolis Institute of Art held its annual "Art in Bloom" last month. Next month, San Francisco's Asian Art Museum will present "Flower Power" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love in San Francisco. The exhibit will feature pan-Asian artworks that reveal the "powerful language of flowers across times and cultures." The exhibit begins June 23 and runs through Oct. 1.
Any mention of the phenomenal Summer of Love of 1967 and what immediately pops into mind? Images from the counter-culture San Francisco scene: hippies with long hair blowing in the wind, dancing in Golden Gate Park and/or tripping out on the streets of the Haight-Ashbury district. Some might even have flowers in their hair! So it is fitting that 50 years later, "Flower Power" is celebrated in the form of an art exhibition that "invites audiences to explore the lasting appeal and surprising stories of six flowers as distinctive as their blooms," as stated in the Asian Art Museum's press release.
Three magnificent "scholars' rocks" from the historic Quinling Mountains in central China traveled across the world and arrived at the Arboretum in Chanhassen one snowy day last December
The scholars' rocks at the Arboretum are a gift from the People's Republic of China, Shaanxi Province and University of Science & Technology and will be incorporated into the Phase 2 construction of the new Chinese Garden. The rocks weigh from 7,000 - 32,000 pounds and are a key element in the traditional design of a classic Chinese gardens. One of the rocks features calligraphy of a couplet carved into it. The poetic inscription reads: 聚天地大美,蕴秦汉魂魄, which loosely translates into "Beauty of earth and sky united, Soul of Qinling Mountain forever dwelled."
All who visit the Arboretum will be able to learn more about Chinese culture and traditions. A plaque at the Chinese garden will be installed recognizing the story of these magnificent rocks from the Qinling mountains and the friendship with the Chinese people.
Phase 2 construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2017. Meanwhile, the scholars' rocks are temporarily housed in a parking lot near Three Mile Drive. When construction is completed, the rocks will be relocated to their permanent location, based on recommendations from a community advisory committee.
Consul General HONG Lei, Chinese Consulate General in Chicago, sent a nice note to the Arboretum saying, "We very much appreciate your strong support for a good relations between Minnesota and China! We will join hands with you!"
For the first time ever, Park Square and Mu Performing Arts will join forces to co-produce the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Flower Drum Song." Based on the 2002 book adaptation by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang ("M. Butterfly," "Yellowface," "Chinglish"), the production will be directed by Mu Artistic Director Randy Reyes. Previously produced by Mu in 2009, this will be a fully reimagined production featuring new and familiar faces. "Flower Drum Song" takes audiences to the vibrant world of San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1950s to Club Chop Suey, a nightclub owned by a Chinese-American family. Old World tradition clashes with New World trends as two generations, father and son, struggle to honor and protect their cultural traditions while adapting to the changing times.
Phase I of the Hsiao-Ho Chinese Garden Path is now complete and has been open to the public as of Sept. 22. The path, stairs, and viewing platform are accessible. Three large scholar stones were donated to this project from a university in China.
Phase II should be completed spring 2017. This will include a moongate, a path from the platform to the northwest end of the pond where a pavilion will be constructed. A garden with a Tree Peony display along with complimenting plants will be in the area. Phase 2 design planning is beginning for moon gate and contemplative pavilion. Many architectural firms attended the information session for submitting designs that was coordinated by University of Minnesota capital construction.
As part of the community advisors for the Chinese Garden, artist/University of Minnesota instructor Hong Zhang has agreed to help with the artistic naming of the places and calligraphy, an essential part of any important Chinese Garden and artist Yudong Shen has agreed to assist with placement of some critical elements coming to the Garden. Dr. Carol Brash, director of Asian studies at St. John's University, has also been assisting in the development of our garden. She is currently writing a book on Chinese Gardens of North America.
Liu Dan, born 1954, is one of China's most renowned living artists, translating his fastidious observations of the world around him into ink through fresh ideas about composition and original brushstroke techniques. This expansive selection of his recent paintings — meticulous and unexpected landscapes, rocks, and still-lifes — showcase both his technical virtuosity and unrestrained imagination.
Reimagining the Lystra Scene, 2016 - Ink On Paper - Collection of Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Uniquely classical yet refreshingly contemporary, Liu's paintings blend his deep appreciation of the Western art canon with the 2,000-year-old heritage of Chinese painting. Artistic traditions become a point of departure as Liu resists schematized brush techniques and stagnant notions of great art in favor of a new visual language all his own. "Ink Unbound" captures Liu's remarkable contributions to contemporary Chinese ink painting while also offering a contemplative experience for all viewers. The exhibit will be on until Jan. 29, 2017, at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, 2400 Third Avenue South, Minneapolis.

Best 2009 intranets (according to Jacob Nielsen & Co)
10 June 2009 | admin |
We are currently looking for an intranet solution for collaboration (documents, versions control, hosted, blogs, communities, wiki). So far we have two variants: Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2007 ( Windows Sharepoint Services to be exct, which is free) and Jive SBS Express.
While searching for materials on intranet-solutions I visited Jacob Nilsen's website and found his annual report about intranet solutions.
Source: 10 best intranets of 2009
Sharepoint - a freakin' glorified file server
15 June 2009 | admin | Intranet-solutions
We are now choosing an ECM (Enterprise Content Management) for our company. We have wiki (on DokuWiki), file server on Samba for linux where we store documents, system of rights, intranet access through vpn and a set of scripts, which are launched from console (ssh) to create/delete users, projects etc. The time has come to get all this stuff organized. We are planning to install an ECM system and NAS (network access page).
New useful tips for internet-forms design
27 December 2006 | admin | Design
I came across a very interesting article today - Label Placement in Forms. Authors share the results of a survey they conducted using equipment for tracking eye movements. During the experiment users were asked to fill in 4 forms with the same boxes but different label placement (left alignment, right alignment, label above the box and bold label above the box).

Advantages of usability
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
Usability is a characteristic of a web site, software or device, which helps a user easily and successfully perform a task. Usability is also a number of means, helping identify problems, which make the product unusable. Specialists in this sphere not only identify and classify these problems, but also offer solutions to them.
Is your site losing visitors?
About usability and attention
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
What is attention?
Attention enables us to process information about our environment. We recognize things only when we give some attention to them. Attention can be compared to flashlight, which we direct at an object to single it out. After we focused the flashlight on the object we start analyzing what we see.
Usability- testing
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
The essence of usability testing lies in watching users while their interaction with the system during performance of real tasks. Usability testing allows to find out if the system really works, i.e. if it solves the assigned design tasks, whether it's productive enough and, simply, if users can perform their tasks at all.
Public accessibility of a web site
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
In 1999 Australian Human Rights Council demanded from Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG) to re-design the official Olympic Games web site because of the user, who complained that he couldn't use the web site as he was visually impaired. SOCOG refused to re-design the site, but eventually lost the case in court and was forced to re-design it and pay 20 000$ compensation.
Professional organizations in usability-sphere.
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
There're several organizations that define a vector for the whole usability-community and promote user oriented design methods in industry and business.
ACM — Association for Computing Machinery
Information architecture (IA)
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
Information architecture (IA) – is a science studying information organization in order to facilitate people in fulfilling their information needs. Design of information architecture for a web site consists of content analyses and development of structure that will assist user in solving his information tasks (search for goods, search for an answer etc.).
History of usability and HCI
16 March 2011 | admin | Theory
HCI as an independent branch of science that began to develop in late 70's – early 80's. It started with the recognition of problems that users of complicated and powerful systems were experiencing. Usability is based on research of communication theories, graphics, industrial design, linguistics, social sciences and cognitive psychology. This knowledge helps designers create technically efficient (i.e. enabling to solve assigned tasks) and user operable (i.e. users can solve tasks) systems.

CE logo is a safety certification logo and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market.
All products with "CE" logo can be sold in the member states of the European Union without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus realizing the free circulation of goods within the scope of the member states of the European Union. In the European Economic Area (European Union, European Free Trade Association) market, the use of CE logo is increasing. The goods with CE logo indicate that they meet the requirements of a series of European directives, such as safety, health, environmental protection and consumer protection.
Necessity of CE Certification
1. Compulsory certification for export to Europe is necessary for customs clearance, so that products can enter the EU market smoothly.
2. It can increase the acceptance of products by foreign buyers and enable enterprises to trade more overseas orders.
3. Ensure product safety, improve product quality and establish brand image.
How to Choose Certification Consulting Company
CE certification can be accomplished in many ways. The CE certification issued by well-known foreign institutions such as TUV is highly authoritative. However, there are many problems in foreign well-known institutions, such as long test cycle, cumbersome certification process and so on. The high cost of tens of thousands of yuan has aggravated the cost burden of many enterprises. There are many accrediting agencies recognized by the EU, and it is entirely possible to choose any accredited institution to pass CE certification. For enterprises pursuing cost-effectiveness and cost control, domestic third-party testing institutions are undoubtedly the best choice.
Advantages of HTT Loop-pass Detection
HTT is a professional testing and certification consulting agency with many years of experience in product testing and certification. The company was established strictly in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and has been authorized by many international authoritative testing organizations.

Anyone who has ever searched for an apartment or home knows that pictures are key when looking for a new residence. While the space may be everything you desire, a walk through may not be ideal without first seeing a few pictures online. Photos, however, are not the only thing that buyers consider when searching for the right home. A new study conducted by Zillow.com reveals that wording is also a vital part of a real estate listing.
Terms That Earn More
Buyers who participated in the study were willing to pay nearly 10 percent more for homes that had the word "luxurious" in their descriptions. According to consumers, such terminology signified the seller's willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty in terms of amenities. A "remodeled kitchen" was one of average appearance, while a "luxuriously renovated kitchen" was a food lover's delight. Participants, therefore, expressed willingness to pay more for homes carrying the latter description.
Another term that attracted buyers was "landscaping." Whereas "new plants" added little value to a home, such upgrades described as "new landscaping" garnered more attention and money. The word, "landscaping" implied that services from a professional agricultural company were sought, which meant that the seller went the extra mile to make the home appealing. Such willingness to spend extra on the exterior portion of the home meant that the interior was immaculate.
Why Words Matter
The importance of wording in real estate listings can be blamed on humanity's desire to have the best of everything. Consumers will settle for chasing their waiter down to ask for more water at the local eatery until they realize that there is a restaurant down the street that refills beverages without inquiry. The same is true in home buying. Customers will settle for "nice plants" in a potential home until they see a listing for property that has greenery flown in from New Zealand in its backyard. It is then that they want the house with the better, more exotic plants for no other reason than them being from another country.
It is, therefore, important to consider what you are writing in the listing if you want to get the best value for your home for sale. Photos do a marvelous job of giving viewers a snippet of what they are thinking of buying. Well conceptualized words, however, paint the picture for them.

Obama holding full news conference; housing, politics, gas prices, foreign tests on tap
President Barack Obama is aiming mortgage relief at members of the military as well as homeowners with government-insured loans, the administration's latest efforts to address a persistent housing crisis.
In his first full news conference of the year Tuesday, Obama was to announce plans to let borrowers with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration refinance at lower rates, saving the average homeowner more than $1,000 a year. Obama also was detailing an agreement with major lenders to compensate service members and veterans who were wrongfully foreclosed upon or denied lower interest rates.
Companies' Pension Plea
Business groups are urging Congress to let employers put less money into their pension funds, saying that exceptionally low interest rates are forcing them to set aside too much cash.
A provision attached to the Senate highway bill would change the formula many large companies, including General Electric Co., Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., must use to calculate how much to add to their pension funds, potentially shrinking their combined contributions by billions of dollars a year.
Though its chances of becoming law aren't clear, the measure holds appeal in Congress because it would increase the government's near-term revenues, offsetting some of the costs of the highway bill. Setting aside less for pensions would leave companies with smaller tax deductions, requiring them to pay about $7.1 billion more in taxes over 10 years than under current law, according to Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation.
U.S. Largely Going It Alone On Regulatory Reform
When it comes to financial reform, the gap between the U.S. and other countries appears to be widening.
That was the takeaway from a conference of international bankers here on Monday, with one attendee, speaking of the treatment of "too big to fail" institutions, calling the gulf a "Grand Canyon."
In many respects, the Dodd-Frank Act catapulted the U.S. way ahead of the pack in overhauling regulation following the 2008 crisis, including swaps oversight, a facility for resolving failing firms and a ban on banks' proprietary trading.
But participants at the Institute of International Bankers meeting raised questions about whether the global overhaul can work without nations speaking with one voice.
Democrats to CFTC: Rein In Speculative Oil Trades
Democrats are urging the Obama administration to take swift action to reduce speculative trading in the oil markets as crude prices hover around $107 a barrel and gasoline climbs to about $3.80 a gallon.
In a letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Monday, nearly 70 House and Senate lawmakers pressed the commission to enforce caps on speculative trading adopted in October under the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law. The lawmakers said in their letter that it was irresponsible to delay enforcement in light of rising energy costs.
Digital Records May Not Cut Health Costs, Study Cautions
Computerized patient records are unlikely to cut health care costs and may actually encourage doctors to order expensive tests more often, a study published on Monday concludes.
Industry experts have said that electronic health records could generate huge savings — as much as $80 billion a year, according to a RAND Corporation estimate. The promise of cost savings has been a major justification for billions of dollars in federal spending to encourage doctors to embrace digital health records.
But research published Monday in the journal Health Affairs found that doctors using computers to track tests, like X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging, ordered far more tests than doctors relying on paper records.
Left contrasts healthcare law's IPAB with GOP Medicare proposals
As a House panel moves to repeal a key cost-cutting panel in the healthcare reform law, Democrats and their allies are drawing a contrast against more aggressive Republican proposals for Medicare.
The liberal Center for American Progress released a new report Monday saying the panel — the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) — is "essential" to controlling government healthcare spending. And it said the IPAB would be better for seniors than GOP proposals to at least partially privatize the Medicare program.
"If the Independent Payment Advisory Board is repealed or hamstrung, the only alternative would be to ration care by privatizing Medicare, shifting costs to beneficiaries, and restricting eligibility," the CAP analysis says.
Medicaid waivers pave way for reform
Millions and millions of dollars in Affordable Care Act grants aren't the only way the Obama administration is helping states prepare for health care reform.
Some states are also bringing in billions through Medicaid waivers.
Medicaid waivers aren't new. Nor were they created by President Barack Obama's health law. But the waivers, which allow states some flexibility in how they deliver health care to the poor, can help the states prepare for the roughly 16 million people who will be newly eligible for Medicaid in 2014 under ACA. And the health care law did give states the opportunity to expand their Medicaid rolls early.
China Foothold in U.S. Energy
Fu Chengyu's first attempt to buy a piece of the U.S. oil industry kicked up a storm of protest and ended in failure. Seven years later, the Chinese executive is pouring billions of dollars into the oil patch without even a whisper of trouble.
His new recipe for success: Seek minority stakes, play a passive role and, in a nod to U.S. regulators, keep Chinese personnel at arm's length from advanced U.S. technology.
Fed Study of Student Debt Outlines a Growing Burden
A report released Monday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York renews concerns about the growing debt load of college students and graduates.
The report suggests that as many as 27 percent of the 37 million borrowers have past-due balances of 30 days or more.
"In sum, student loan debt is not just a concern for the young," the report said. "Parents and the federal government shoulder a substantial part of the postsecondary education bill."
The report, which was created by an analysis of Equifax credit reports, said the total balance of student loans was $870 billion. Of the 241 million with Equifax credit reports (there are 311 million people in the United States), 15 percent had student debt.
Forty percent of the people under 30 had outstanding student loans, and the average outstanding debt is $23,300. About 10 percent of borrowers owe more than $54,000 and 3 percent owe more than $100,000.
Obama Presses Netanyahu to Resist Strikes on Iran
With Israel warning of a possible military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, President Obama urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday to give diplomacy and economic sanctions a chance to work before resorting to military action.
The meeting, held in a charged atmosphere of election-year politics and a deepening confrontation with Tehran, was nevertheless "friendly, straightforward, and serious," a White House official said. But it did not resolve basic differences between the two leaders over how to deal with the Iranian threat.
Mr. Netanyahu, the official said, reiterated that Israel had not made a decision on striking Iran, but he expressed deep skepticism that international pressure would persuade Iran's leaders to forsake the development of nuclear weapons. Mr. Netanyahu, according to the official, argued that the West should not reopen talks with Iran until it agreed to a verifiable suspension of its uranium enrichment activities — a condition the White House says would doom talks before they began.

IS Frees 6 Hostages in Deal With Syrian Government
BEIRUT, The Islamic State group early Saturday released two women and four children they had been holding since July in the first part of an exchange with the Syrian government that will set free dozens of women related to members of the extremist group, opposition activists said.
The women and children were among 30 people kidnapped by IS in the southern province of Sweida on July 25 when they carried out a raid that left at least 216 people dead. One woman died in IS custody while another was shot dead. In August, a 19-year-old man was also killed while in detention.
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the women and children were the first batch of the exchange, adding that more will follow. The Observatory said the government in return will release 60 women held by authorities and a $27 million ransom.
The Suwayda 24 activist collective posted a picture of a woman and four children who were released adding that authorities freed 17 wives of IS fighters and eight of their children. It added that 21 women and children still being held by IS will be set free in the coming days.
Suwayda 24 identified the released women as Rasmiya Abu Ammar and Abeer Shalgheen and her four children.
The July 25 attack on the southern city of Sweida and nearby villages, which are inhabited by members of the minority Druze community, was one of the deadliest by the extremists since they lost most of the land they once held in Syria and Iraq.
State news agency SANA quoted the governor of Sweida Amer Ashi as saying that the six hostages were freed as a result of the tight siege imposed by Syrian troops on the extremists in the desert area outside the city of Sweida. He said that more hostages will be freed soon.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
A crises management team (CMT) provides a controlled response to calamities affecting an organization and its employees or a community. Whether the crisis involves economic distress, physical violence or a natural disaster, this team is prepared to keep critical functions operational. The crisis management team organizes resources, keeps key communications flowing, coordinates action and makes decisions to assist the organization or the community.
Crisis Management Command Structure
Crisis situations demand a clear command structure. Even organizations that function effectively without centralized control under normal conditions must rapidly transition into a centralized structure in times of crisis. Designating a well-organized chain-of-command ensures a coherent and efficient use of potentially limited resources. Core leadership of the CMT should reflect the organization's top leadership -- in the business world, this means the first layer of command in crisis is typically the CEO.
Business CMT Membership
Critical core team members in business should represent key roles of the executive staff, including a leader or CEO with a direct line to the board of directors. A finance member protects company funds, keeps money flowing where needed, and keeps track of extraordinary expenses directly related to the crisis for insurance records. Investor relations and public relations members monitor market shifts and public perceptions, and recommend actions to restore or keep public trust. General counsel team members communicate with regulatory agencies and outside counselors to protect the company from further damage resulting from fines, legal claims and any potential of criminal charges. Additional core members may represent security, medical teams, environmental protection or other critical support functions. Every member should have a back-up to take charge if the primary member is unreachable when the crisis hits or at any time while the crisis is ongoing.
Non-Profit CMT Membership
For non-profit and community organizations, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends a core team of five to seven people with key roles, including a decision maker, a spokesperson and a communications manager. The decision maker provides direction to enable core or essential operations to resume at the minimum level after a major disruption, and then to keep things going until the crisis ends. The spokesperson represents the organization to the media and the general public in order to protect the organization's image and maintain public trust. The communications manager keeps an updated list of roles, responsibilities and contact numbers for staff members, volunteers and other key persons, and makes sure everyone has the information needed to get or keep operations running.
Crisis Management in Schools
The U.S. Department of Education has established a special program for addressing significant incidents affecting schools. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) recommends a centralized command structure and a multi-team approach. A logistics team addresses transportation, food, shelter and other critical resources. A planning team identifies resource needs, assigns designated roles to specific individuals, records the effectiveness of responses to incidents and practice drills and updates crises response plans as needed. A finance and administration team records staff hours and expenses, and prepares documentation for insurance claims. An operations team addresses the physical health and well being of students, school staff and community members, overseeing security, medical needs and, if needed, search and rescue.

Take a 60-minute drive into the Guatemalan rainforest to Yaxha National Park for a private, guided tour of this lesser visited, yet spectacularly beautiful Mayan site. Traverse winding paths through virgin rainforest, walk in the footsteps of ancient kings, and revel in the site's mysterious atmosphere as you marvel at the massive stone monuments and temples and learn about the fascinating metropolis that once existed here.
As the sun dips toward the horizon, climb the main temple, where you'll be greeted by a romantic picnic spread. Drop to your knee to ask for your partner's hand in marriage as you look out over the surrounding rainforest and nearby Lake Yaxha, then celebrate with a bottle of bubbly as the sky turns fiery oranges, fuchsias, and cotton candy pinks overhead.
If you opt for a photography package, our associate photographer will pose as an employee of the tour company taking photos for a new website. They'll snap all of the moments leading up to the time you pop the question, capture your proposal, whether on solid ground or thousands of feet in the air, and snap some portrait shots for a total of one hour of photography.
Available in: Belize and Guatemala.
Start by browsing our destination proposal suggestions. Find one you like, or use them as inspiration - we specialize in creating custom proposals tailored to your needs, interests, and budget. When you're ready, send us an e-mail with your dates & a brief description of what you're looking for.
We'll set up a phone consultation to discuss your budget and vision, then get to know you and your partner a little better through a short questionnaire. We're here to assist with overall execution, coordinating, negotiating and working with vendors to ensure your proposal goes smoothly.
We present you with a draft blueprint of the plan for your proposal. Once you approve it and pay a deposit, we'll work behind the scenes quietly, getting everything ready leading up to your date. Then, we'll send a final invoice and blueprint of the details, and before you know it, it will be time to pop the question! Stop sweating, and let us create a proposal that you and your partner will never forget.
You have enough on your plate, keeping this secret - where will you to find the time to think about the logistics involved?
While the internet is a great resource for engagement ideas with DIY plans, at ROAM, we offer more than that. We are your secret keepers, your creative outlet, your confidante.

Vietnam, Timor-Leste FMs discuss measures to step up relations
|Congratulations to new leaders of Timor-Leste
|WEF ASEAN 2018: PM receives Timor-Leste Foreign Minister
Minh once again congratulated Soares on his appointment as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation and affirmed that Vietnam will work closely with Timor-Leste to enhance relations between the two countries as well as cooperation between the two foreign ministries in particular.
|Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh on September 12 meets with Timor-Leste's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Dionisio Babo Soares. (Photo: Tuan Anh)
The two ministers discussed measures to further promote partnership both bilaterally and multilaterally. They agreed to increase the exchange of visits at all levels as well as people-to-people exchanges in a bid to enhance mutual understanding.
Minh asked Timor-Leste, together with Vietnam, to promote cooperation mechanisms, firstly the joint committee as agreed in the Frame Agreement on Technical and Economic Cooperation signed in 2010; to effectively implement the agreement on rice trade for the 2015 – 2017 period; and push forward the negotiation on an agreement on investment protection.
Soares, for his part, said Timor-Leste wants to step up cooperative ties with Vietnam in other potential spheres such as defence, security, agriculture, fishery, oil and gas exploration and exploitation.
The two sides agreed to continue coordinating at regional and international forums and emphasized the importance of maintaining freedom, security and safety of navigation and aviation in the East Sea and settlement of disputes through peaceful measures and based on international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 (UNCLOS 1982).
Minh thanked Timor-Leste for its commitment to supporting Vietnam's candidacy for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council in the 2020 – 2021 term.
Meanwhile, Soares expected that Vietnam would continue backing Timor-Leste's aspiration to join the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and share its experiences in preparing for and participating in the bloc afterwards.

text: "However in the instant in which I would listen to or play music all that scenario would instantly transform. It would become filled with love and compassion..". My life so far: 4 – Educational system and other challenges My interaction with school was not a joyful one. Every September, at the beginning of the courses, I would genuinely look forward to it with the excitement to meet old and new classmates and share ideas and creativity. But then after just a few days I would inevitably realize how dysfunctional and unnatural the entire process was. The days in it were not stimulating at all, filled with useless informational data which was taught in a fear base module and not supporting any of my natural predispositions and tendencies (and on any other child in the class) but actually pushing me to the opposite direction into a flat and passive accumulation of data system. This I believe was the experience for all the children around me. However it seems that most of them would rapidly line up with the programming, adapt to the curriculums and fall entirely in the fear base and separative methods of the teachings. For me was impossible to reach such state of disconnection and forgetfulness. I simply could not apply the information of a program that was attempting to make everybody the same with no consideration at all for the natural gifts and tendency of each child present in the classroom. Inevitably I started soon to appear as a strange boy, undisciplined, with his mind on the clouds, incapable to focus, introverted and with a strange vibe and look in his eyes that would often embarrass the collective. My grades in school were very low and often I had to repeat grades. The severe approach of the teachers interrogations and their punishment with bad grades, the feeling of being not good enough in front of family, friends and institutions, and the worrisome mother upset by her first child failing at school negatively effected my overall experience as a child and an adolescent. However in the instant in which I would listen to or play music all that scenario would instantly transform. It would become filled with love and compassion. The melodies, that would come through while playing a few notes on whatever instrument I had access to at that moment, would instantly transform the fears and sorrows into a sublime state of love and oneness. In my imaginative world the faces of the teachers, classmates, parents, friends, would all light up with unconditional love. I would see them all hugging each other, with a deep smile, being playful. I would often slowly fall asleep at night with such image and tears of love feelings in my eyes. I would repeatedly had such experience over and over again since my very first day of school when I was 4 years old all the way through my last day of school when I was about 18. While in my earliest interaction with music, between 3 and 5 years old I was attempting to share the world that would unfold within my heart when I was playing the musical notes, later I stopped doing so as I realize that no one seemed to be able to connect with such energy field. Music then became simply my way to keep connecting with my imaginative world, and with that feeling that we are all love, that we are all one which somehow helped me to remain connected and to copy with the harshness of the experiences I was having in my physicality. Only much later in my late twenties and early thirties I started to feel an inner pull and desire to expose and share the energy field that was created in my interaction with music. In those first 20 something years of my life I kept creating melodies after melodies. At first I would hold them within my heart by memorizing them. But then it became more and more difficult to do so. This is because the process of creating music was very fast and completed usually in a few seconds. And since my mind was not involved in it, as soon as the melody was birthed it would go back to the unseen world without living any trace in my memory. Therefore soon I learned to always have a tape recorder next to me while "disappearing" in the music. As a result of such habits by the time I reached my 20is I ended up having hundreds of tapes filled with original melodies everywhere in my room.

Paul "Baby on Board" Goff
1. Tell us a little about yourself?
My wife Landin, baby girl Scarlett, dog Joey and I live in Scituate. We moved to the area about 3 years ago from the San Francisco Bay Area where I was stationed in the Air Force. We spent some time with our in-laws In Hull and finally settled in Scituate. My wife is a sales manager for a biotech company in Boston and I have 2 jobs. I am a pilot with Southwest Airlines and a Major and C-17 Airlift pilot in the New York Air National Guard. Together we are experiencing the joys of parenthood for the first time as our little Scarlett Amelia was born on September 13th.
2. Tell us your CrossFit story (where were you before RCFBC and where are you now?)
My CrossFit journey started soon after moving back to the Boston area. Like many I had been an athlete my whole life, playing college hockey and other sports for as long as I can remember. As I approached 35 I noticed I was getting a little thick around the middle and was out of breath walking up a flight of stairs. I was looking for a change and found it when I read "The Four Hour Body" by Tim Ferris. If you haven't read it, it's sort of a hackers guide to human performance. I started following the diet he recommended which is pretty similar to Paleo with a few minor changes and jumped whole heartedly into the world of proper nutrition, fitness and performance. I joined a certain globo-gym not too far from RCFBC and was doing yoga, hiking and working out on my overnights. I was seeing some progress but finding myself bored and un-inspired in my workouts. I had played team sports my entire life and just couldn't get excited about your normal globo workout. Like many others I watched as RCFBC went up next door and really didn't even know what it was. I remembered a chapter in Tim Ferris's book where he interviewed Kelly Starrett and discussed the benefits of CrossFit. Then I read another book (lots of free time when you are flying all the time) called "Into the Box." That got me extremely interested in CrossFit. I stopped in one day, met Mike and I was hooked. Because of my odd schedule, on ramp was almost impossible for me to complete, but Mike was gracious enough to basically do a 1 on 1 on ramp for me and I haven't looked back. Mike put me on an erg to warm up and told me to do like 1000m, then he went into the office and was working with some other clients. I thought maybe he was testing me so I just kept rowing until he came back, I think I rowed like 6000m :-). That was about a year and a half ago and I believe I will be a CrossFitter for life.
3. What does being part of RCFBC community mean to you?
To me it is the difference between something I just do and something I love. I am inspired every day by the struggles of others and pushed every day to get better, stronger and faster. I have met so many great people at RCFBC and look forward to seeing everyone each day. Even the days I am traveling I log on to check out the next days WOD just to see what everyone is up to.
4. What accomplishments are you most proud of?
My CrossFit accomplishments are probably too many to list. I'm not making it to the games anytime soon but I did get a muscle up, I can do unbroken double unders and my overall strength and conditioning is better than it has ever been in my entire life. Every day is a struggle but every day brings another small accomplishment. This year I jumped out of my comfort zone and completed my first triathlon with almost no training except for CrossFit. I finished in the top 1/3 of my age group and enjoyed it so much I completed two more. I also bought a road bike this summer and have ridden over 700 miles. I credit CrossFit and RCFBC for inspiring me to take on these challenges and try new things.
5. What are your challenges and goals going forward?
I want to improve every aspect of my CrossFit workouts and there are many areas for improvement. The Olympic lifts are my weakness and due to some lingering shoulder issues all of the overhead lifts are a challenge. I am working on my weaknesses all the time and getting stronger every day. I plan to work on my swimming over the winter and next summer I will step up to an Olympic distance triathlon. Most importantly I want to find time to do all of this while raising a Newborn!
6. How does it feel to be a father for the first time?
Well it's only been 2 weeks and I know it's cliche but it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I woke up one day and everything had changed for the better. My wife and I waited pretty long to have kids and everyone told us how great it would be but I have to say until I experienced it for myself it I had no idea. I can't wait until she is a little older and I can introduce her to CrossFit and RCFBC.

Monday Overnights: 24 Million Tune in for Dancing With the Stars Premiere
ABC danced its way to the winning overnight Monday finish line, more than doubling No. 2 CBS (13.4 rating/21 share vs. 6.0/9). Third overall was Fox (5.3/8), followed by lagging NBC (3.9/6) and yet another night of repeats on The CW (0.5/1), according to Nielsen Media Research data.
Dancing With the Stars opened its 12th edition with a whopping 16.0 rating/24 share in the overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was comparable to one year earlier. And that translated into 24.19 million viewers and a 6.4/17 among adults 18-49.
Ignited by its lead-in, Castle won the 10 p.m. hour with an 8.3/14 in the overnights. But retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Dancing With the Stars was only 50 percent.
Minus an original installment of Two and a Half Men, CBS no doubt has lost steam on Monday. Demo favorite How I Met Your Mother, which has been renewed for two more seasons, opened with a third place 5.7/9 in the overnights at 8 p.m. That led into episode six of uneventful Mad Love (No. 3: 4.5/7 at 8:30 p.m.), followed by a repeat of aforementioned Two and a Half Men (No. 2: 6.3/9 at 9 p.m.) and original installments of Mike & Molly (No. 2: 6.5/10) and Hawaii Five-O (No. 2: 6.6/11) from 9:30-11 p.m. Worth noting (positively), Mike & Molly saw growth of 3 percent out of the Two and a Half Men encore. Less than one season into its run, Mike & Molly is beginning to stand on its own.
Fox's House finished second in the 8 p.m. hour, with a 6.5/10 in the overnights. But facing the second half of Dancing With the Stars was costly for recent entry The Chicago Code, which dipped to a series low 4.2/6 at 9 p.m.
Elsewhere, NBC is a shambles from 8-10 p.m. care of Chuck (34; 2.9/5) and The Event (No. 4: 2.9/ 4), which did not benefit by disappearing for three months. But older-skewing Harry's Law at 10 p.m. is still an option with a 5.9/10 in the overnights. While that finished third in the time period, it did build from the 9:30 p.m. portion of The Event (3.0/4) by a hefty 74 percent.
Last, and very least, were repeats of The CW's 90210 (0.6/1) and Gossip Girl (0.5/1), which are both expected to return in 2011-12 despite lackluster seasons.

The Institute of Public Affairs (Instytut SPraw Publicznych – ISP) is one of the leading Polish think tanks and an independent centre for policy research and analysis, which was established in 1995. The ISP has released, hot off the press, a review of the EU's financial assistance scheme in the Eastern Neighborhood countries, entitled 'ENPI's performances in Eastern Partnership States: Lessons from the Current Perspective for the New Budget'. According to the ISP, the report "reviews the experience of implementing EU assistance in the region of the Eastern Partnership in the current financial perspective (2007-2013), suggesting ways in which it can be made into a more effective instrument for realizing political priorities of cooperation."
After analyzing its European Neighbourhood Policy and its implementation of financial assistance to the Neighbourhood countries, the EU has pinpointed several 'key shortcomings' in its operations in this regard. According to the ISP, these shortcomings are:
"…insufficient incentives for reforms and the need to apply the "more for more" principle more consistently; limited impact of available funds due to their small volume, annual budgeting and thematic fragmentation; and inadequate mechanisms for engaging civil society actors in planning, implementing and monitoring the assistance."
Due to these shortcomings, it has been argued that budget support – lent in order to act as an incentive for Neighbourhood countries to implement internal reforms – has been, so far, unsuccessful. The ISP report elucidates:
"Review of the actual priorities of disbursed funds in 2008-2011 reveals that financing was scattered to numerous thematic areas, and virtually no common themes could be identified in the budget support among the beneficiary states. Reducing the number of priority issues is needed to give focus to both bilateral and multilateral aid. EU would do well to identify as primary those two or three sectors that are crucial for progress in the ongoing integration processes, such as the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement and
visa liberalization dialogue. Multilateral aid could concentrate only on those issues in which several beneficiary states have expressed interest, and cases of successful cooperation should be rewarded with dedicated funds for follow-up initiatives."
The ISP report reiterates the European Commission's proposal for simplifying the assessment process, and also highlights the need to instate a realistic mechanism for increasing transparency and improving monitoring of assistance. The ISP also commends the launch of the Neighbourhood Civil Society Facility and of the European Endowment for Democracy, saying that such a move "indicates that support to civil society as an agent of democratization has become a substantive item on the ENPI agenda following years of relative neglect." The report also explains that the strengthening of such instruments can lend powerful support to implementing internal reforms and human rights observation, through advocacy.
The ISP report points out that the EU and the Eastern Neighborhood Partnership Instrument (ENPI), which is used to finance the EU's activities in the region, has a weighty remit. A remit which sees the EU struggling to combine, and achieve, a dual purpose–as the ISP report explains:
"Relations with countries in its neighbourhood demonstrate the tension between two sets of objectives of the EU's aid: development and democratization…In its assistance to countries in the neighbourhood the EU is at the same time trying to effect a transformation effect, serving as a model of peaceful coexistence of states, multi-level democratic governance and economic integration. Pursuit of one set of goals (development) may hamper realizing the other (transformation) as happens in the case of setting the agenda for cooperation."
The ISP has identified such a duality of purpose as one possible factor which underpins the ENPI's lack of success in implementing its financial scheme thus far. For the full breakdown of the ISP's analysis, and reccomendations read the ISP's review.

I was pleased to have a very low-sodium meal. However, all the veggies being simmered in liquid so long is not a stir-fry and they were all soggy and limp. Next time I will try stir frying them without the liquid, then remove them from the pan while the sauce simmers. Or something like that.
