"I present the spinning wheel on which depends India's economic salvation," wrote Mahatma Gandhi in Young India in 1920. More than three quarter of a century later, in 2001, Vasundhara Raje, the then Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) submitted, "Khadi has fallen to disrepair. It has to be repackaged, upgraded, and cleaned up." Khadi, which symbolised self-reliance and emancipation during the freedom struggle, has indeed lost its sheen over the years.
Khadi – the essentially handspun and handwoven fabric – first caught the imagination of the nation during the struggle for Independence when Mahatma propagated it as just not a fabric but a way of life, the self reliant way. Gandhiji talked of the khadi spirit encompassing simplicity, fellow feeling, and promotion of all things Indian so as to unshackle the country from British domination. Spinning yarn on the charkha (loom), Mahatma believed, inculcated discipline and dedication. And while khadi was meant to be fabric for masses by masses, according to him, it was also meant to be a great social equalizer, since it could sit well on the shoulders of the poor as, equally adroitly, it can drape the bodies of the richest and the most sophisticated men and women. However, over time, partly under the onslaught of mill made fabric and partly due to unglamorous image coupled with poor marketing, the freedom fabric has lost its mojo. In popular culture, khadi has come to be synonymous with politicians; and to a lesser extent, with journalists.
Khadi forms 1.5% of national textile production of around 15,000 million square metres. According to fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, use of khadi could be one of the ways for Indian designers to distinguish themselves and thwart the invasion of global brands. He has dressed up Aishwarya Rai (in Ravana and Gujaarish) and Vidya Balan (Paa) in the luxurious fabric that needs to be restored and preserved. For him, khadi is refined, sophisticated, individualistic, eco friendly & sustainable. But, the Indian buyer suffers from the gloss syndrome. Anything that is dull or matte is not easily appreciated. When Sabyasachi introduced bridal wear in khadi, it failed to take off. He tried to convince the upper crust that khadi is a sophisticated fabric with a quiet dignity attached to it, which is absent in mill-made products, the glitterati still declined to pay heed. Yet, a change of mindset should always be possible through an appropriate marketing programme.
Presently khadi lacks aspirational value. It is still regarded as a poor man's fabric. Fashion diffusion generally takes place either through trickle down or trickle up. Trickle up for khadi is difficult, given its existing image. The best way then would be to follow the alternative approach.
The classically rich aspire to be like royalty. Royalty means culture. Those who have new money drip diamonds and buy big international/local brands; but they also aspire for culture. Khadi is in a unique position to be able to lend culture to both these classes. The rich woman may already own everything. By offering her ensemble in khadi she is provided a point of view. The contemporary woman in khadi is self assured, educated, and cultured in need for self expression, and not to prove a point. She is the one to be targeted. Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) can hardly be expected to rise to the task, though.
Bollywood in India has the maximum influence on fashion trends. But Bollywood actors are pinups for the glossy and the crass. They are besotted with big brands and money spinning styles. Instead of appreciating individuality, Bollywood encourages cloning. It is like juvenile American pop culture, an obsession with bling. If Bollywood could be made to get out of its polyster and chiffon, and drape into khadi, the followers will aspire to adopt too.
In 1985, Devika Bhojwani introduced the Swadeshi label of khadi ensembles. It was retailed through nearly 5,000 khadi emporia. In 1989, KVIC organised a fashion show in Mumbai in which 85 dresses of Bhojwani were paraded on the ramp. Yet, due to red tape and bureaucracy, the exercise proved to be still born. In 1990, Ritu Kumar presented her first khadi collection – Tree of Life – so as to help khadi arrive on the fashion circuit. In July 2002, a Bangalore based designer, Deepika Govind, displayed a collection of ensembles in 'Tencel khadi'. And Sabyasachi Mukerjee has been successfully working with, khadi. He once introduced 90 odd lehngas in bridal khadi collection; all were taken up.
But while appeals to the heart can be successfully made through communications, problems exist aplenty elsewhere too. The designers legitimately complain that production of khadi is inconsistent while the cloth is prone to shrinkage and fabric stretch. Fabric colours are also limited. Khadi has very little to offer in terms of fabric performance. It looks attractive when starched and kept in showrooms, but it does not present the same look after one wash. Even finer counts and blends of khadi cannot withstand many washes and, therefore, cannot be adopted for daily wear. The fabric, thus, finds itself vulnerable against the high-tech, colourfast, wrinkle free mill made cottons and blends available today.
However, having said that, khadi is a versatile fabric with a unique property of keeping the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer. Unlike mill made synthetics no one can be allergic to the fabric. khadi silk provides a very royal look with a rich tapestry. Now designers are dyeing khadi with striking colours. Stylish garments like miniskirts, halter neck tops, etc. are made from khadi. Recently Arvind Ltd. has planned to market khadi denim (at nearly Rs.800-1,000 per metre) in Japan and Europe to high-end consumers.
In other words for the niche market the so called limitations of khadi can always be converted into its virtues which are unparalleled. As Ritu Kumar says, "The rustic, no machine look of the fabric is both sophisticated and bohemian." Mukerjee, the die hard loyalist to khadi, thinks khadi is too intelligent to be treated. According to him, limited availability of khadi with its inconsistent quality makes it even more of a luxury product. Tradition, symbolism and a new found versatility can be glued together to promote the organic fabric in contemporary cuts and designs. On the other hand the traditional fabric can be chemically treated to make it softer and more pliable so that it can be adapted to more outfits.
This coupled with a judicious blend of other Ps (pricing, placement) should sure do the trick.
Khadi holds tremendous potential to be promoted as a fabric for dressing the upper crust. The need is to reorient, reposition, and relaunch our cultural heritage. Khadi is calling out for a second freedom struggle, freedom from the clutches of government's pincer like grip. Allow it independence and see it blossoming.

Power Failure
Power FailureSome Reasons for Failure in the Power of Communication.
The power of communication is almost a hackneyed phrase nowadays. Few who watched the CNN and BBC World news reporting during the invasion of Iraq, would deny the effectiveness for, good or evil, of fast, factual and feverish media reporting. Nor can the world forget the power wielded by Adolf Hilter among other dictators, and more hopefully by Barak Obama through the use of gripping oratory.
From hieroglyphics to heliograph, smoke signals to semaphore, from tom-toms to telegraph,
billboards to body language and Morse code to email, the association between communication and the development of civilisation is well established.
However these and many more are merely the means of communication. They are not communication itself. The power of communication is a fragile thing because it can be obstructed by pitfalls in our patter or by the perils of perception.
Yes, both speaker and listener are frequently to blame for what amounts to a power failure in the conveyance of meaning.
It was George Bernard Shaw who said "What we need to day is a better mouthtrap"
Until recently President George Bush was known for his hilarious communication blunders. The media feasted on the amusing gaffs he perpetrated in public appearances. He has a reputation for verbal contortion, linguistic gymnastics and accidental coining of words. We are told he invented words like "mential","tacular" and "bariffs" off the cuff. He has shredded syntax and vocabulary, testing the limits of the English language.
No one who heard those words can remember if they ever did get his meaning or if so, what that meaning was. Was he sending a coded message to Osama? The arrival of his effective speech writer just in time for the war in Iraq, helps to illustrate the point.
Take an example from the boardroom. Large corporations often refer to a voltage or power loss that seems to afflict communication and consequential implementation of decisions. The directors emerge from the meeting fired up with motivation to activate winning strategic decisions. As the message filters down the successive echelons there is a power loss, often of such proportions that almost nothing happens. Perhaps this is the explanation for the vast chasm between the words of our politicians and the actions we patiently wait for.
I have just enough time to remind you of a handful of typical causes of voltage loss in communication.
A foreign speaker like Pavarotti can communicate despite his Italian accent because he has something to say and does it well. He was once asked why all the ladies flock to him and replied: "Becausa ofa my extravaganta baudy!"
Debates on the subject in which some bend over backwards to make excuses for poor articulation intending to be liberal about bad English, pay little attention to the level of actual communication.
Speaking telephonically to the average employee today is fun or frustration whichever you choose. Choosing the fun route, I recently said to an unintelligible telesales caller, I'm sorry I don't get the gist of what you are trying to sell, perhaps you would send me an e-mail in your patois and I could have it translated.
Assuming your articulation is reasonable then the next hurdle is Word selection. Using obscure words or highly technical buzz phrases shows off your superior knowledge but fails to communicate. It is like using incorrect plug points when you want to tap into a source of electrical power. Powerful and picturesque words can be simple. I once attended a fashion show in Soweto run by a large clothing chain. One after another pint sized ten models strutted their sashay. Then a extra large bulging outsize thumped her way down the walk. The crowd howled and shrieked: "Hau the mighty mafuta makes mincemeat of them all!'
And what of the importance of Presentation? Carefully selected wording alone may not convey the message. The electrician says, sorry there no Spark when he detects no power flow.
An informal poll taken last year indicated that one of the greatest challenges business people have at meetings is to stay awake. In fact one cynic suggested that he would stop attending if it were not for the amusing faux-pas, errors and slip-ups contributed by both by the chairman and delegates.
A serious mistake is to Ignore the intelligence of the audience. Talking over the heads of your listeners may be ego boosting for you if you don't care whether you are communicating or not. It's a bit like trying to use software incompatible to your hardware. In fact communication with computers can provide a clue in matching your style and level to the hearers.
An IT expert speaking on direct speech communication with the computers pointed this out by quoting two sentences which could baffle present day P.C.'s
"Time flies like an arrow" and "Fruit flies like an apple'.
In performance management, specifying exactly what you mean preferably in measurable or quantifiable terms, is far more effective than permitting discussion in phraseology such as ' quite a lot', 'things are picking up'. When you say 'mostly' do you really mean more than 50% or are you obfuscating?
Surveys have established that 60% of work problems arise not from poor training or bad work conditions but from poor feedback on performance.
Let me illustrate poor feedback with a story about an American father who came home from work to find his wife weeping. 'What's the matter honey". The wife replied tearfully that the neighbours refuse to let their children visit the kids next door because of their swearing. Father said well I don't like the neighbours anyway. Wife continued to cry and on enquiry said the Pastor had phoned to say Johnny and Mary were no longer welcome at Sunday school because of their foul language. Father said 'well I'm sure we can find a better church anyway'.
Wife continued to cry, he asked why. She said the kids had been expelled from school for bad language. "Don't worry I'll handle it in the morning" said Father."
Next morning at breakfast with a range of cereals on the table, Father said "Well Johnny what are you going to have?" Johnny replied "I think I'll have some of those "goddamn Kellogg's coorrflakes". Father hit him in the face and Johnny fell to the floor writhing in surprise and confusion, nursing his cut lip.
Misusing verbal power is, of course, a deliberate cause of failure in communication. Such action is usually aimed at point-scoring. For example Rules of Order, invented to facilitate order and democracy, at meetings are just as useful for throwing confusion among the opposition.
A case in point might be where a proposal contains a series of sub-proposals, you might say "Point of order Mr Chairman, (or chepessen if you are politically correct), it would be helpful to agree each sub-point in seriatum instead on en bloc.' The chairman does not know what you mean, so he agrees. Everyone is stunned. Confusion reigns. You're in the driving seat!
The current vogue of Politically Correct speech which supposedly sets out to be euphemistic out of sensitivity to the underdog or minority, so often fails to communicate the intended or indeed any message at all.
Patting the dog on the head while telling him he is hygienically challenged is what electrical engineers would call a short circuit of power.
P.C. speak wants to brainwash us into having to deliver a special ration of sensitivity to every conceivable group, (including groups which can't conceive).
We have to perform a linguistic egg-dance, afraid to call a spade a spade.
A `dead man' becomes a `person of male gender in a non-viable condition'. America's `poor' are now called `fiscal under-achievers'.
As the brain laundering machine of political correctness gains traction, gullible people are accepting the doctrine so avidly that it matters not what nonsense we speak as long as we copy the trend. Even what little logic there is in some of the P.C. phraseology, is occasionally jettisoned by naively parroting the 'newspeak'.
For example, in our rush to avoid referring to a female presiding officer as "Mr Chairman" we often address her somewhat inconsistently as, "madam chairperson". 'Person' is supposedly correct because it is political heresy to emphasise her gender. So if you accept that piece of brain-laundering, why pull the plug on it by using 'madam' as well?.
A young man whose car had broken down near a girls convent, knocked on the door of the dormitory seeking help. A pretty student invited him to her room to use the phone. The mother superior just happened to walk in at that moment and was about to remind the student of the rule about no male friends on campus and the need to avoid temptation, when the student said quickly : 'No Mother, there's nothing to worry about - his battery's flat!'
Any of these faults can inhibit the voltage of your communication. I hope that these thoughts will help you to keep your batteries charged, so that your listeners are illuminated, will feel the tingle of the spark and their hair may be stand on end, as you deliver the full potential of this power!

The pattern suggests size 50 thread and a #14 hook for a vanity set.
Or for a larger set, "use SILAKATEEN-SANSILK... and a No. 12 hook... the small piece will measure about 10 inches and the larger piece will measure about 15 inches square. (Probably a size 40 thread.)
For a luncheon set. use "STAR CROCHET CORD" and a No. 6 hook. (Probably similar to size 10 thread.)

Book 3, in Detective Inspector Joona Linna series
Before you read this novel be warned it is one of those rare stories that are truly difficult to put down. Once started you will be reading till the wee hours….This pulse-pounding third outing sends Joona to
a home for troubled girls where one of them was brutally murdered, one girls is gone missing and one girl claims to have witnessed it all.
The story weaves puzzles into puzzles and is as dark, gritty and as brutal as you can imagine. It starts slowly at first but fast gain momentum. Brilliantly written in short and exciting chapters combined with a present tense narration the action is largely centered on trying to find the prime suspect, the missing girl. Giving us only the information we need, no long back stories the author's proceeds in giving clues as the investigation moves along and draws us deeper and deeper. In every turn there is a reversal of fortunes and the horrendous set of circumstance is what kept me glued to every single page till I reached the conclusion.
"The Fire Witness" has a more violent side than the previous installments. What brings this page-turner to new heights is the mystery behind the issues covered, the minutia of the details, the originality in which it is delivered and not forgetting the intriguing characterization.
Although part of a series "The Fire Witness" can easily be enjoyed on its own.

Lesson Details
Anna-Lisa teaches
- Teaches students:
- Ages 12+
- Teaching since:
- August 1999
I am passionate about music and singing. I have sung professionally on stages all over the world for 30 years, singing 70 roles in 10 different languages. I was the Principal Mezzo Soprano at the Finnish National Opera, a European A-house in Helsinki, Finland, (over 500 employees) for 25 years. My American Debut was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. My other great passion is teaching voice. It is wonderful to experience the joy that a student feels after finding his/her voice and starting to improve his/her performance.
By now I've worked as a voice teacher for 15 years, well familiar with both European and American voices.
I have a Master's degree in Music, including performance and teaching. I have had additional education in Complete Vocal Technique, which familiarizes me with Pop-, rock,- jazz-, and country singing techniques.My students include both beginners and professionals. I can teach you both to sing like an opera diva, and to belt and sound like a pop diva. For me, the basics are important. I want you to learn proper breathing, support, relaxation and interpretation. With a good foundation, you have a technique that lasts a lifetime.
I am very serious about what I do, and I expect my students to be equally serious in their work. With all this said, expect to learn a lot with me, but also expect to have lots of fun doing it.
You will have better singing for a better life!

For my first lesson, I enjoyed meeting my teacher Anna,
I'm looking forward to my second lesson!
Anna was prepared and professional!
It was an excellent lesson. She is very professional and well prepared. She was able to accompany on piano and spoke Italian fluently, which was super helpful for the music. Can't wait for the next one!
Great experience.
Anna-isa is a fantastic instructor. Very professional. My Highest recommendation to anyone - any age that wants to learn the art of singing.
Learned so much just in one lesson

I had the great pleasure of meeting Minties Nicki Brandt, Cori Sands, Maria Estigoy, and Brandy Brown (left to right below) at the very hip Bastille Cafe and Bar in Seattle (thanks Design*Sponge!).
Over several glasses of wine, housemade pate, and other treats, we managed to cover all relevant modern conversation topics, such as skinny jeans (consensus: guys shouldn't wear them) to the best places for a hair cut in Seattle (Maria likes a place where there's a DJ spinnin tunes), to Brandy's recent press coverage in 425 Magazine. Everyone loved their Design Lotus-designed T-shirts. Go Amy!
It was incredibly inspiring to hear from Brandy about Minted's effect on her career. I've been a personal fan of her design for so long, so it was terrific to meet her in person. We learned that her crane logo was inspired by the birth of her daughter!
We received great feedback, suggestions, and questions from everyone. Thank you so much for spending time with me – you all are a big inspiration for what we do at Minted. Can't wait to come back to Seattle to see you again.2 COMMENTS

Traditional studies of agricultural technology adoption have long been constrained by a limited ability to include spatially-differentiated data. Typically, crude proxies or location dummy variables are used to approximate spatial effects. GIS tools, however, now allow spatially explicit data to be included in household econometric models of technology adoption. This paper describes a study that combined GIS and survey variables to examine the cattle feeding strategies on farms in highland Kenya. Data from a large geo-referenced household survey were combined with GIS-derived variables to comprehensively evaluate the spatial, agro-ecological, market and farm resource factors that determine variability of feeding strategies on smallholder dairy farms. Roads, urban populations, milk collection and processing facilities were digitised, and integrated with spatial coverages of agro-ecology. These were then combined, using econometric methods, to quantify the main spatial and local determinants of the probability of adoption of: a) stall feeding or zero-grazing, and b) planted fodder in the form of Napier grass. The results show the influence not only of agro-ecology, but also of market infrastructure and support services on the adoption of improved feeding strategies. A comparison of predicted uptake using GIS and household variables shows that after first calibrating GIS-derived variables through a household survey, broad but reliable predictions of technology uptake in other areas may be possible.

BOXING legend Ricky Hatton has rejected pleas to end a bitter rift with his parents, say friends of the family.
They claim the relationship is so bad that Ray and Carol Hatton haven't even been allowed to meet their grandchild... Ricky's 14-month-old daughter Millie.
Ricky's mum and dad were his biggest supporters during his glittering £40million career. But they feel they have now been "erased" from his life, say the pals.
The quarrel began 18 months ago when Ricky, 33, fell off the wagon just weeks after a much-publicised stint in rehab for drink and drug problems.
Ricky claimed his parents didn't support him and in the aftermath Ray was ousted as head of the family firm Hatton Promotions and Ricky appointed himself boss.
Then last September, Ray was cautioned by police after brawling with his son.
The confrontation took place the day before the ex-world champ announced a comeback.
That fight last November ended in disaster when he was knocked out by Ukranian Vyacheslav Senchenko.
But before his humiliating defeat Ricky publicly attacked his parents for not standing by him during his drink and drug problems, saying: "I was at rock-bottom and close to ending my life but Ray and my mum never came round. Not once.
"I'm afraid it's the finish for me as far as they're concerned. There's no going back now. Not for me."
And it seems he has stuck to his vow because, according to a close friend, Ray and Carol begged him to bury the hatchet over Christmas but he ignored them.
The friend said: "It's a desperately sad situation. Ray was once Ricky's best mate and Ricky used to dote on his mum.
"They were at the ringside at all of his fights. Now they don't speak and Ray and Carol have yet to see Ricky's daughter.
"They thought Christmas would be a good time to sort things out. They tried to persuade Ricky to at least let them see Millie but he told them they weren't welcome."
The friend says that Ray is now very worried that Ricky will once again succumb to booze after his failed comeback. "He and Carol are desperate to help him but he has erased them from his life."
According to sources, Ricky is facing financial problems as his promotions company, clothing brand and gym – close to his £2million mansion in Hyde, Greater Manchester – are all losing money.
A friend said: "Ricky always had his dad to turn to when things got tough. Now he's just got a few hangers-on. Everyone hopes he won't do what he's always done in situations like this, which is hit the bottle."
In the run-up to his comeback fight, Ricky said of his long-term partner Jennifer Dooley, 33: "This lady went through more hell than anyone because of me. She had to stop me killing myself. She had more reason to feel angry than anyone but she was the one who stood by me."

The Last Heavy Dish Till Winter.
Who could say no to that?
Now, I know it's about to be July. But whatever, I make my own rules and apparently I make up my own lasagnas too. And it was good, sooooo good. I've had this idea in theory and in the works for some time now and I finally just decided on whim to just do it.
When making a lasagna the two most important things to remember are not to overcook the pasta and of course the art of learning adequate cheese to sauce to everything else ratio. I love lasagna and I have been told I am an italian-american food making guru. I make a mean stuffed eggplant parmesan lasagna and a classic meat lasagna and now.... the herb pulled chicken and veggie white lasagna.
4-5 Trimmed Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 Pkg. of Lasagna pasta
1 Container of Organic Chicken Stock
1 QT of Heavy Cream
1/2 Cup of Grated Romano Cheese
1 Half of a White Onion minced
2 Tbsp of Minced Garlic
2 Halved and sliced Zucchinis
1 Pkg. Baby Bella Mushrooms
About 1-2 Cups of Fresh Sautéed Spinach
1 Pt of Ricotta Cheese
1 Egg
1 Log of Fresh Mozzarella cut into small slices
1 Bag of Shredded Mozzarella
Ahead of making the lasagna, it would be optimal to prepare the pulled chicken. I prefer to just throw the raw cutlets into a crock pot for about an hour on med-high temperature with some minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and onion power.
Most people use water to prepare their pulled meats,
I like to go half and half with water and some all-natural broth.
I feel it brings out the flavor more and helps prevent the meat from drying out.
After the meat is mostly cooked, remove the cutlets and with two forks simply pull the meat and toss back into the crock pot until you are ready for it on keep warm.
This is the point when I would prep all the veggies, sauté them with olive oil and minced garlic.
A touch of salt, pepper and onion powder optional.
Then put the veggies all together and place aside for later.
Now boil the lasagna pasta and then strain. I like to rub a touch of olive oil on each sheet of pasta and then drape over the edge of the pot so they don't all stick together. This is kind of crucial.
Now after the prep is done, it is time to make the perfect creme sauce and a lot of it.
Again the best way to make it perfect is to keep tasting and adjusting.
So I always start my sauces with some minced onions and garlic in the pan, after they start to brown I add a dash of white wine and then a bit of the chicken stock and then the heavy creme.
I use a little more than half of the large container of creme with a little regular milk (1%, 2% or whatever you drink).
I usually turn up the temperature and stir frequently until it begins to rise up a little and thicken.
Then I throw in the cheese, some salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, a dash of rosemary and some parsley. Stir. Taste and season accordingly.
After the sauce has thickened reduce the heat to low.
Now put the ricotta in a bowl with the egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper and mix it up until the egg is beaten in. Then put on the side.
Now for the most important step, the layering.
Obviously great ingredients are clutch, but it is in the layering that makes or breaks an awesome lasagna. Take a casserole dish or if you have a lasagna pan, even better.
Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with the cream sauce.
In a standard size dish three lasagna pastas should be the correct width across and they should slightly overlap. Then more sauce, and now as evenly as possible spread a layer of the ricotta cheese, then add a layer of pulled chicken and a sparse layer of the veggie mix.
Top that with some more sauce and then I like to place the small slices of mozzarella sparingly throughout because I want to assure I have enough for the top. I then add the shredded mozzarella to make the distribution more even.
Next, add the new layer of lasagna pasta, followed by sauce, ricotta cheese, veggies, more sauce, mozzarella cheese and then the next set of lasagna.
Follow this order, alternating between a veggie layer and a pulled chicken with a touch of vegetable layer. After the top layer of lasagna is in place, cover it in sauce, the rest of the mozzarella- both the fresh and the shredded. Then I like to put a little grated romano, parsley and paprika on the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25/35 minutes. Until the top look nice and melty and you are dying to devour the whole tray. Take it out to cool and let it set for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
Then last and most importantly, pop a bottle of a nice white wine and Enjoy!

A lightning storm the other night, slipping down from Florida. For an hour we sat on the terrace and watched the northern sky blaze with pyrotechnics, the best we'd ever seen, almost continuous rivers of electricity streaming between the clouds, clouds heaped like mountains and lit from within. After some particularly sky-filling explosions we could not resist applause. From horizon to horizon, from Andros to San Salvador the streamers ran, trailing their rumbles of far-off thunder. So much energy! Energy entirely beyond the human capacity to control, beyond the human capacity to comprehend.
There is a delicacy in nature -- the hummingbird at the feeder, the gecko's flicking tongue, the textured sand after a shower. There is a power too -- awesome and ominous, booming and cascading across the night. I think of lines from a poem of Grace Schulman, a poem called In Place of Belief:
...I would eavesdrop, spy,
and keep watch on the chance, however slight,
that the unseen might dazzle into sight.

'We are working towards making Gurgaon safer'
I have directed all the SHOs to identify poorly-lit roads and lanes in their respective jurisdictions, said Alok Mittal, commissioner of police, Gurgaonin an interview with HT.india Updated: May 19, 2013 23:42 IST
HT has identified areas that are dimly lit and lack police presence. We have also pointed out law-and-order issues where your focus is required?
This is a good initiative by Hindustan Times. In addition to highlighting various law-and-order issues, it is trying to proactively take up these issues towards solutions.
Would you like to share some of the initiatives taken at your end?
I have directed all the SHOs to identify poorly-lit roads and lanes in their respective jurisdictions. These stretches become more crime-prone at night, giving ample room and comfort to criminals to target vulnerable citizens and get away easily.
How are you going to utilise these insights?
After assimilating information on the dark stretches, we are going to write to the departments concerned such as HUDA and MCG and request them to get the streetlights installed or fix the faulty ones falling in their respective jurisdiction.
More than 400 people died in road accidents last year. Any plans to check fatal accident deaths?
In addition to having a full-time DCP dedicated for the traffic department, we have many other plans. We have a serious problem with people putting up speed-breakers, violating the guidelines laid down by the Indian Roads Congress. There are also some traffic signal related issues where there is a need to rope in the agencies concerned.
Women in Gurgaon feel unsafe, especially after sundown. Any initiatives on the women security front?
We will soon tie up with an NGO and launch a campaign under which we will offer crash courses on various self-defence techniques. For this, we will depute ACP Pankhuri as the nodal officer for coordination on this campaign.
Even though cyber crime cases are on the rise in the city, less than 9% of the incidents get reported. Any plans to set up an effective cyber crime cell to address the issue?
Though we already have a cyber crime cell with efficient cops trained in investigating cyber crime here, it probes all kinds of crimes, including cyber crime. We have now decided to set up a dedicated wing of this cell for cyber crime cases only.

Wow, this is stunning! The colors and patterns really stand out. I especially like how you sponged the greeting piece to make the verse stand out.

At dozens of legal hearings over more than two years, Anissa Weier's parents have sat in the same courtroom as the parents of Payton Leutner — the girl Anissa stabbed 19 times as part of a murder plot.
On May 31, 2014, Anissa and Morgan Geyser, both 12 at the time, lured their best friend Payton, also 12, to a park and attacked her in homage to a fictional Internet character known as "Slenderman."
"We do have eye contact and acknowledgement with the parents, but we have not given our condolences or asked, 'How is Payton doing?'" Anissa's mother Kristi Weier tells PEOPLE. "We have kept our distance out of respect for them and what they're going through."
Payton miraculously survived the stabbing after she crawled to a bike path where a passerby called 911. Anissa and Morgan were charged as adults with attempted first-degree intentional homicide. If guilty, they face up to 65 years in prison.
They have both pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
Since the incident, everyone has been trying to understand how two girls could plot such a horrific and bizarre crime, in which Payton was left for dead in the park.
Anissa's parents were as shocked as everyone else to learn about their daughter's obsession with the Internet character that has achieved folklore status through videos and mostly teen-created fiction. The girls' relationship with Slenderman is the focus of an upcoming HBO documentary, Beware the Slenderman, which airs Jan. 23 at 10 p.m. ET.
"We did not raise her to do this action," Kristi Weier tells PEOPLE. "I cry practically ever day since the incident."
To learn more about the "Slenderman" stabbing case, subscribe now to PEOPLE, or pick up this week's issue.
The girls are currently awaiting trial, which is expected to begin this summer. Meanwhile, Payton, now 14, has recovered physically and a freshman in high school, Anissa's father Bill Weier says Payton's family members are in his thoughts.

"I think about them every day of my life," he tells PEOPLE. "As much as I would like to be able to talk to them about this, number one, how do you start that conversation? And number two, would it even be right?"

Maybe today's Republicans don't know that the Greatest Generation went through the depression and WWII and their president throughout both was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, not Ronald Reagan. Eisenhower was to the left of Barack Obama. JFK, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, Ford — all of them — were more liberal than any of today's Republicans.

Nothing Left But The Dog WhistleThe provincial anger, stoked for so long by the Republican Party, has finally boiled over. Donald Trump is telling those folks what they've been wanting to hear, exactly the way they've been wanting to hear it for a very long time.
The Disturbing Dawn Of The Alt-RightDonald Trump's nationalism is absolutely about ethno-purity and there's an element of populism as well. But it's largely about wounded national pride which has been a potent motivating force on the American right for a very long time.
Trump's Big WeekendLast week Donald Trump's rallies took yet another dark turn, but if he plays his cards right, a few months down the line he might have succeeded in muddying reality enough to have most Republicans blaming Democrats for what he started.

A fatherless boy. A new man in his life. Maybe for the first time. Anger, frustration, sadness and a spirit of fear is replaced by warmth, joy and a growing sense of acceptance and purpose. And Yes, just plain fun.
Shoulder to Shoulder matches fatherless boys with surrogate fathers called mentors to provide young men with the experience of growing up with a dad. It's an experience none would likely have without the commitment made by the men willing to be mentors.
"At first I was reluctant to mentor because we were presented with a 6-year commitment with the possibility of helping your young man through college. Jeremiah and I have developed a relationship of trust, honesty, hope and a father/son-like love. I have seen the development of the character of a young man that I am proud to call my friend," said a mentor.
STS needs your help to raise $50,000 to find and support mentors for 27 fatherless boys waiting for a chance at a new life. Can you help us?
"The boys were on overnight trip to a camp in the mountains. It was winter and it had snowed. We have a picture of Raymond carrying a snowball the size of a cantaloupe. Carrying it with no gloves; carrying it as a prized possession. Having never seen snow, he was bound and determined to take it home to show his family and friends, most of whom had never seen snow either," said a mentor.
"I'd been to many graduations over the years and responded with the perfunctory hand clap and smile. This time it was different. I jumped up and down in my bleacher seat screaming and yelling with tears in my eyes. My boys were graduating: My boys that began our program in the 7th grade with an average GPA of 'F' or lower were graduating. All were above 2.75 some were above 3.0 and a couple were 3.8," said a mentor.
As the boys grow from scared and hopeless children into young men of strength, character and accomplishment their mentors grow as well.
"I've grown so much with my own children, other people and my own relationships."
"You see kids who think they have no hope. Their chins on their chest. You see them change. They stand up straight. They look you in the eye. You can see them change right in front of you. It's very impactful."

Voters most likely will get a chance to decide this summer in a special referendum whether this politically rabid city is ready for a full-time strong mayor.
The City Commission pushed through a measure Thursday offering the voters a change from city manager to strong mayor and/or expanding the commission from five to seven seats.
The bill passed 3-2, supported by the commission's firm Hispanic majority, led by Mayor Maurice Ferre, who has said he is not interested in being a strong mayor.
"It's going to open up the doors to people who aren't wealthy individuals," Commissioner Joe Carollo said in defense of the proposed charter change. "It will open the doors so you can get a cross-section of all Miamians (running for mayor)."
The commissioners will give the measure a second reading May 9. If it passes, a special election will be held July 9. If a majority of the voters approve of the changes, they would go into effect for November's municipal elections, giving this year's political scene a whole new perspective.
Ferre, Carollo and Commissioner Demetrio Perez argued that an "executive mayor," as they took great pains to call the new position, makes sense for a city the size of Miami. The person running the city should be responsible to the electorate, they say.
"I think it's important to get it on the ballot," Ferre said.
Under the proposed amendment, the mayor's post would change from a part- time, $5,000-a-year job, a position of first among equals on the commission, to a well-paid full-time position, the acknowledged leader who has significant powers of appointment and a veto on commission resolutions.

COACH Andy Flower has refuted claims his England side lack motivation for their Champions Trophy campaign in South Africa.

England play their first Group B encounter against Sri Lanka today following a busy summer that culminated in a 6-1 drubbing by Australia in the one-day series.

Despite insisting last week England have much work to do in one-day cricket, criticising both batting and bowling departments, Flower is optimistic the tournament will provide his players with fresh impetus.

"We have had a long, hard summer back home, so getting out here and playing in this tournament with the best players in the world is very exciting for everyone," he said. "We are looking forward to that challenge. There is no trouble at all getting the players up for this tournament. Being here and feeling the buzz about it, and looking forward to a couple of wins to get us through to the semi-finals, is exciting for everyone."

England have only mustered one century in four one-day series this year, typifying their struggles. While the top six again misfired against Brett Lee and co Flower was keen to turn attentions to Sri Lanka.

"It proved a tough series against Australia but the Sri Lankans will put forward a completely different challenge," Flower added.

"They are very exciting and have huge variety in their bowling attack. Lasith Malinga slings it from low, has a good slower ball, a quick bouncer and a good yorker, then they have good spinners who are hard to read and play in the middle overs, so the challenge is there."

Meanwhile, England's 2010 itinerary has been announced with a summer line-up featuring Bangladesh, Australia and Pakistan. The first Test of the summer, against Bangladesh at Lord's, begins on 27 May.
