In love with dining out – Madrid
Naomi is in Madrid since 1974, It can be the oldest Japanese restaurant in Madrid, and also the most Japanese. The decoration is exactly the same as the regular sushi bar at Tokyo. The owners (Katsuo and Hojo), chefs and waiters are of course Japanese. You can also find other dishes besides sushi, and delightful ones! yakitori, katsukarei, nasudengaku, everything is fantastic, better than most fancy Japanese places in town.
For a great quality Japanese restaurant it's not expensive, 35€ each with Japanese beer and dessert (home made maracuya mousse is my favorite).
Reservation required, even on weekdays, they have 2 shifts (21h and 23h).

Marvel short film "Item 47" will star Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford
Posted by Terri Schwartz on
As "The Avengers" ushers in the Marvel cinematic universe "phase two" era, so will its home video release introduce us to a whole new world of Marvel one-shot short films. The Blu-ray, which hits stores on September 25, has a new one-shot called "Item 47," but it's not as short as its two predecessors.
"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" and "The Consultant," the previous two one-shots, starred Clark Gregg and ran about four minutes in length. But with Gregg's Agent Coulson unfortunately gone from the Marvel universe, it gave the studio a chance to experiment with their tried-and-true formula.
Enter "Item 47." Entertainment Weekly reports that this short will run about 12 minutes in length and stars Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford, both newcomers to the Marvel universe. They are two normal people who find a discarded weapon (the titular Item 47) from the Chitauri invasion that occurred in "The Avengers" and go off on a Bonnie and Clyde-style adventure while two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (played by "The Avenger's" Maximiliano Hernandez and "Lost's" Titus Welliver) try to stop them. Caplan and Bradford's characters are appropriately named Benny and Claire.
"The world is topsy-turvy now. There's been an alien invasion, and things are crazy," Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito — who also directed the film — tells EW. "So when this gun literally fell into their lap, this is a sign: We're going to rob a few banks, we're going to buy a boat, we're going to the Caribbean, and all our problems will be solved."
If "Item 47," which will be shown during Comic-Con next week, is deemed a success, it could mean some very exciting things in the future of Marvel short films. D'Esposito teased that the company plans to include a short with every future Marvel home video release, and that some of them could feature a few of the 8,000 Marvel characters who aren't quite ready to have their own feature film. Of course, that has its drawbacks too.
"Let's say we wanted to introduce Ant-Man [in a short], and that would mean we have to cast him prior to having a filmmaker. That's difficult and something we wouldn't want to do," D'Esposito said.
For now, we're just excited about "Item 47," which will likely hit the web before its September 25 release date. We'll let Marvel iron out all the kinks in the meantime.
Are you looking forward to a "phase two" of Marvel short films? Tell us in the comments section below or on Facebook and Twitter.

San Diego County is being lashed by periods of heavy rain and winds that have gusted more than 40 mph. A flash flood watch is in effect, and will stay there at least until Wednesday. Forecasters say the rain will be especially heavy tonight. It'll back off some on Tuesday, then pick up Wednesday when the cold front passes through, essentially ending a nearly week-long period of rain, something the region hasn't experienced since early 2005. Coastal regions will receive an additional 1.4'' of rain by the time the plume out of the sub-tropics has passed into the intermountain region, and the county's mountains will get as much as 6 inches.
"The higher the elevation, the higher the rainfall," said Miguel Miller, a weather service forecaster.
Palomar Mountain received more than 8'' of rain during the first four days of the storm. Lindbergh Field received only 0.30''. But it is likely that Lindbergh will exceed its monthly average for December -- 1.77'' -- during the course of this storm system. And Palomar could finish with a total of 15'' of rain.
Sharp winds are coming with the rain. The top gusts, so far today: 42 mph, Lake Wohlford; 40 mph, Ramona; 39 mph, 35 at Imperial Beach, 34 mph at Julian; 29 mph.
The combination of rain and winds has made driving treacherous today. The CHP reports that 164 crashes occurred between midnight and 5 p.m. CHP usually records 50-75 crashes during a 24 hour period, when the weather is decent.
The rain that's fallen over the past 24 hours has caused the San Diego River to accelerate and swell. Authorities have closed an access road, across the river, at the Fashion Valley Mall in Mission Valley.
A flash flood watch is in effect, and it'll likely be raised to a warning during the night. Forecasters say urban and small stream flooding is likely, and debris slides are possible in the foothills. Additional warnings are likely; the snow level is going to fall from 8,000 feet down to 6,500 feet Tuesday as colder air blends with the warmer sub-tropical moisture.
(Bad weather will blot out tonight's total eclipse of the moon.)
Here's a sample of rainfall during the four day period, ending at 3:42 p.m. Monday:
Palomar Mountain, 8.52''; Julian, 3.38''; Santa Ysabel, 3.27''; Descansco, 3.19; Fallbrook, 2.75''; Campo, 2.50''; Mt. Woodson, 3.26''; Escondido, 2.48''; Alpine, 2.04'';
Poway, 2.06''; Valley Center, 2.20''; Ramona, 1.86''; Oceanside Airport, 1.73''; Vista, 1.77''; Encinitas, 1.63''; La Mesa, 1.39''; Carlsbad, 1.26''; Montgomery Field, 0.86''; Lindbergh Field, 0.30''.

The rain will make driving treacherous in an area that's already had a lot of accidents today.
Between midnight and noon, the California Highway Patrol had responded to 87 traffic accidents. In a typical day, the CHP responds to 50 to 75 accidents in a 24-hour period.

The Carmel Mountain Road on-ramp to northbound Interstate 5 was closed due to flooding and two roads, Country Club Drive north of Harmony Grove Road and Quarry Road off state Route 125 in Spring Valley, were also shut down due to flooding, sheriff's officials said.

Innovative partnerships for agricultural finance
Blended finance in the agricultural sector deserves its own debate. This is why the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) together with the EC Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO) organised the first international conference on Blending for Agriculture ("Blending4Ag") in November 2016 in Brussels. The conference brought together an impressive group of financiers, high-level agricultural experts, policy-makers and practitioners to share lessons and best practices in designing and implementing blending. This conference focused on how public finance for smallholder agriculture can achieve the greatest possible leverage in terms of private investments in developing countries.

Please welcome Jennifer S. Alderson, author of Down and Out in Kathmandu: Adventures in Backpacking and The Lover's Portrait: An art Mystery.
How archival research added texture to my novel
Let me make this clear from the start: I love the smell and feel of archival documents, those yellowing bits of paper and crumbling photographs that rustle ever so slightly when extracted from their manila envelopes. There's something magical about scouring through meters of racks, drawers and file folders until you find an interesting or odd snippet of information recorded long ago which helps a character or story truly come to life.
While working out the storyline for my second novel, The Lover's Portrait, I realized early on that the restitution of looted artwork and the treatment of Jewish citizens in the 1930s and 1940s, were going to be central to the plot. To ensure that any potentially controversial aspects of my art mystery were accurately honestly and accurately described, extensive archival research would be essential. What I didn't expect, is that this same research would add much needed texture and depth to my story, infuse it with universal themes and – according to all the reviewers so far – be what sets it apart.
I knew one of the main characters was going to be an art dealer being blackmailed by a Nazi general during the Second World War. I just didn't know exactly why he would be forced to give up his collection. Restitution of art was a topic already very familiar to me, one I'd learned much about during art history and museum studies lectures at the University of Amsterdam. However the details surrounding important events in Dutch history, and the attitudes held in Europe during that period, were not.
It was crucial for the plot that this art dealer character not be Jewish, but did need to be considered a 'dissident' or threat to the Nazi regime for another reason. I went to the Amsterdam City Archives with an open mind and list of questions. I'd thought up all sorts of plot twists which involved other groups targeted by Hitler's troops – Roma's, communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, political dissidents and homosexuals – and decided to see what my adopted hometown's archives could tell me about how they were affected by the war. The documents I found relating to the treatment of homosexuals were the least known, and therefore most interesting, to me. Before visiting the archives, I'd read several non-fiction books to better understand this turbulent time in European and Dutch history, and seen no mention of how Dutch men could be arrested, castrated and sent off to work camps in Germany based on the mere suspicion that they were homosexual. Or that lesbians were classified as 'political dissidents' in work camps. That's when I realized I'd found a 'winner' qua topic, one which hadn't already been exhaustively explored in mainstream literature.
The sensitive nature of the themes discussed in this novel warranted that it be historically accurate, yet it was never my intention to write a historical fiction novel, but an art-infused mystery. When my 'final draft' clocked in at 110,000 words, I was afraid it was too long or would only appeal to historical fiction buffs, so I slashed many of the chapters which relied heavily on the obscure details I'd worked so hard to find. The end result was shorter and less historical, but without all those enticing tidbits of information to fill in the characters' backgrounds or help explain plot developments, the whole story fell flat. It was as if I'd ripped the soul out of my novel.
Despite my misgivings about the length, I added everything back in and even wrote three new chapters taking place in wartime Amsterdam to provide more depth and richness to the story, choosing to edit down the present day sections of the book to compensate. Man, am I glad I did! It's the research that grabs reviewers' attention, enhanced their enjoyment of the story and characters, and seems to be what distinguishes this novel from others in the 'amateur sleuth' category.
My research has also paid off in other ways. Last week, I found out the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam is adding The Lover's Portrait to their library's permanent collection because they are thrilled with their prominent role in the book. The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam has already added it to their library based on the merits of my research into the complexities surrounding the restitution of looted artwork. And a prominent local LGBT organization, Pink Point, is helping me promote the book here in the city because they believe the storyline to be unique.
Yes, I spent many long hours browsing through often useless documents, pamphlets, flyers and photographs in far-flung physical and digital archives. I didn't have to. But without all of the little details adding texture, depth and layers of meaning, my book wouldn't have been the same. And frankly, I enjoyed every second of it!
Fellow authors, do you conduct archival research in order to add texture to your fiction? Readers, do you expect fiction to be well-researched, or are you just as happy to step into a completely fictitious world?
Jennifer S. Alderson was born in San Francisco, raised in Seattle and currently lives in Amsterdam. Her love of travel, art and culture inspired her on-going series of novels following the adventures of Zelda Richardson around the globe. In her first book, Down and Out in Kathmandu: Adventures in Backpacking, Zelda goes to Nepal to volunteer as an English teacher in Kathmandu, where she gets entangled with an international gang of smugglers whose Thai leader believes she's stolen their diamonds. The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery follows Zelda to Amsterdam, where she discovers clues to the whereabouts of a cache of missing masterpieces buried somewhere in the city, hidden away in 1942 by an art dealer who'd rather die than turn his collection over to his Nazi blackmailer. Her third novel – another art-related mystery centered around Papua New Guinean 'bis poles', missionaries and anthropologists – will be released in the summer of 2017.

a global challenge
Urban Transportation is rapidly changing. New market entrants are increasingly global from day one and consumer expectations for seamless, pain-free, user experiences are high.
Consumer markets have moved away from a desire to own cars to being in control of their digitalised lives: leading to a global demand for Mobility as a Service – a market valued at £1 trillion by 2030.
New flexible and sharing economy services, are blurring the lines between private and public transportation, creating a real need for integration across the whole transport spectrum.
Yet current infrastructure and data for travel booking, payment and information is locked away in silos. It means very little interoperability between modes of transport, across borders or between competing transport companies.
This market fragmentation creates numerous pain-points for the travelling public, and risks constraining and stifling the full market growth potential of the mobility sector.
With cities consuming between two-thirds and three-quarters of the world's energy, their role in driving a clean energy future is inescapable. Around 1.5 million people are added to the global urban population every week, and the proportion of the world's population living in urban areas is heading for 66 percent by 2050.
The global imperative for change is clear.
Uncontrolled, rapid urbanization presents acute challenges for national and local governments, with constrained capacity and finance for infrastructure delivery.
Unplanned and poorly managed urbanization can give rise to inequality, pollution, and costly sprawling development plans.
Too much of city development and planning is based on existing habits and behaviours, which oftentimes neither address the challenges, nor increase happiness.
there is hope
Around the world, new ways of providing mobility are appearing in our cities and towns each day. From autonomous vehicles to e-bikes, new technologies are bringing our science-fiction dreams to life.
At the same time, rapid adoption of mobile Internet access is creating new business models and service offerings that change the way we access existing modes.
In the UK, we can see the start of changing travel behaviour as car clubs have grown to 250,000 members across the UK in the last 10 years. Docking station bike-share schemes have reached 17 towns and cities, and IoT enabled bike-share schemes are now arriving from China and Singapore, that, have lower ground infrastructure requirements.
Since 2016 Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has emerged from within this exciting frontier to offer travellers a powerful new alternative to car ownership in the form of seamless multi-modal transport. It provides a range of mobility offers across modes and locations, all linked through an integrated user interface.
This is a real step forward. But MaaS also has the potential to upend existing business models and greatly disrupt local economies. Furthermore, in an "world of closed", we foresee a future MaaS market that is fragmented, and struggles to reconcile the private automotive world with the world of public transit.
We are championing an open world, that demands a shift in corporate thinking, and in many cases, challenges the "status quo" within the transport sector. It asks businesses and public organisations to derive value and achieve results based on the use of open data and code and not by making it inaccessible to others.
The Foundation and the TravelSpirit Community believe we must ensure that the world of new mobility does not take substantial value and profits out of local communities. Instead it must add value and improve citizens' wellbeing.
To do so, we need to challenge assumptions that the development of new mobility models will be proprietary, monopolistic, and closed to outsiders – whether they be from the public or private sector.
TravelSpirit Foundation
We are a not-for-profit community and organisation that helps people working in the field of voluntary, public and private transportation to work together for a better tomorrow. We connect coders, planners, activists, and policy-makers through a global network. We provide research, advocacy, event organisation and business support services.
Through open source technology, collaborative commercial partnerships, and trusted data systems, our mission is to realise both the pro-social and economic potential of new transport paradigms, such as "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS) and a future world of "Connected & Autonomous Vehicles" (CAV). In doing so we believe we can create a more resilient, sustainable, and connected world.
diverse and inclusive community membership
transparent and global
Our governance model and decision-making is balanced and inclusive. Following a "think global – act local" approach we are governed by a Global Executive Board, that guides the administration of the organisation, in collaboration with Regional Market Projects Boards, an Affiliate Partner Programme, and individual members.
the open Internet of Mobility
Transport is changing. New technology is making it possible to integrate public transport, shared bikes, car sharing, hire and on demand travel services, giving people and communities accessible and personalised travel choices: the Open Internet of Mobility.
The open Internet of Mobility is a global digital commons that enables the full benefits of new transport modes, software and information streams to be locked-in for the public good.
Built on open source and blockchain architecture, this framework will enable transport providers to compete in a transparent market that is truly focused on providing customer-centric services to anyone and everyone.

Until now enrichments of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria from natural ammonium-limited environments have been performed mainly in the presence of much higher ammonia concentrations than those present in the natural environment and many have resulted in the enrichment and isolation of environmentally less important bacteria. Therefore. we used continuous cultures to enrich ammonia-oxidizing bacteria at growth-limiting ammonium concentrations of around 5 muM from the root zone of the macrophyte Glyceria maxima from the lake Drontermeer (The Netherlands). Molecular analysis at the end of the enrichment experiments showed that all continuous cultures consisted of Nitrosomonas cluster 6a, which comprises also Nitrosomonas ureae and Nitrosomonas oligotropha. This was independent of whether Nitrosomonas- or Nitrosospira-like bacteria were dominant in the inoculum. Thus all known ammonia-oxidizing bacteria belonging to Nitrosomonas cluster 6a are able to grow at very low ammonium concentrations.

Imagine if you had taken a class in high school or college that was called, "Creating and Sustaining Fulfilling Relationships." If this had been a required course for each of us, we might all have more rewarding relationships. This is not to say that without it we cannot have great relationships; of course we can; but it might be a whole lot easier if we were better prepared. This is true of anything in life, the more prepared we are for something, typically the smoother it goes. If you have never been to Europe and just show up there one day without having done any research about where you want to go, what you want to do and see, it will likely be fun, exciting, and even adventurous, but it might be easier with a planned itinerary.
Think about what kind of 'education' you received about creating and sustaining a healthy relationship. What role models did you have? Would you want to replicate what you saw? If you can say yes, great! Just do what your parents (or other role models did). But, if on the other hand, you didn't like a lot of what you witnessed (e.g.: fighting, not listening well to each other, disrespect), than it may be time for a RELATIONSHIP EDUCATION! This does not require taking the SAT's or going back to college. It is simple to learn new communication and other relationship skills. The challenge can be implementing them consistently. But with knowledge and practice, there is no reason you can't have a healthy, exciting, and gratifying relationship.
Because I believe we can all benefit from learning or even brushing up on our relationship skills, I have written a manual for couples (or singles who are preparing themselves for an awesome relationship). It is called Relationship Rulebook. It is short, sweet and to the point, providing the nuts and bolts of Happy Relationships. It initially was designed for couples about to embark on marriage, but can be helpful to anyone in any stage of a relationship.
You would never get behind the wheel of a car without driving lessons, why do people get married without relationship lessons? Join me on June 6, 2016 for a FREE one hour RELATIONSHIP CLASS. This will introduce the concepts in the book and get you started on your relationship education!
If you are interested in the class, registration is required….email@example.com or 732-517-1177.

BJP, Congress, Economic Crisis, Liberalisation, Politics, Reforms
This is the first in a series of three articles on the reforms of 1991
On Thursday, 20th June 1991, Pamulaparti Venkata Pigalle Narasimha Rao sat down for a briefing on the state of the Indian economy. It is doubtful whether he would have imagined being there even in his wildest dreams as late as a month before. Not even a fiction writer could have scripted the chain of events that had led to the present.
There remained less than 24 hours to go before P.V. Narasimha Rao was to be sworn in as the ninth prime minister of India. Coming as it did at a time of economic difficulties, it was logical for the man who was to head the government to get first-hand knowledge about the state of the economy.
Having held multiple cabinet portfolios in the past, Rao knew better than most the extent of the rot, and yet nothing could have prepared for the shock he received as Cabinet Secretary Naresh Chandra briefed him about the current state of the economy. His reaction was
I didn't know it was this bad
The events that unfolded over the month that followed would change the course of Indian history.
India in 1990-91
The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 resulted in a dramatic spike in the price of crude oil, which more than doubled from $17 per barrel in August to $36 per barrel in October. The price spike proved to be a short-term phenomenon. However, for a country like India which depended almost entirely on imports for its oil requirements, and one whose economy was already in a precarious condition, the spike was crippling.
The seeds for the disaster were sown in the 1970s, when the GDP grew at a measly 3.5%, even as the population increased nearly 25% to 683.3 Million by 1981. Attempts to stimulate growth during the 80s resulted in the GDP growing at over 5% during the decade. Unfortunately, the growth was unsustainable, fuelled as it was by government spending. By 1990 the government of India was paying Rs. 35.3 out of every Rs. 100 it was earning only to pay interest on its borrowings.
Prime Ministerial Musical Chairs
So dire was the situation, that the National Front government headed by then Prime Minister V.P. Singh borrowed $550 Million from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in September 1990. Fearing a political backlash at a time when it was surviving on outside support, the government was forced to do so surreptitiously, without publicly disclosing it.
In the event, the cloak-and-dagger nature of the operation proved futile, as Singh's government collapsed when ideological differences resulted in the BJP withdrawing support in November. Samajwadi Janata Party (SJP) leader Chandra Shekhar, a former Congressman himself, formed a new government with outside support from the Congress.
In the meanwhile, the balance of payments situations had deteriorated even further. In January 1991 the new government, with Yashwant Sinha as its finance minister, convinced the IMF to approve two loans- $775 Million under the first credit tranche and $1.02 Billion under the compensatory and contingency financing facility. In return, the government pledged to initiate economic reforms in the union budget to be presented in February.
Chandra Shekhar's cabinet, led by Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha drafted the proposed economic reforms, much to the discomfort of the Congress. Financial Times famously said that Rajiv Gandhi (former Prime Minister and the then leader of the Congress) was desperately trying to pull the rug under him because Chandra Shekhar was an "uncomfortably successful" prime minister.
The comments were not off the mark, as the events of 4th March would prove, when the Finance Minister was to table the budget before parliament. Yashwant Sinha found himself unable to go ahead with the plans due to Congress intransigence. Unwilling to countenance any further bullying by Congress, Chandra Shekhar resigned on 6th March.
The resultant parliamentary deadlock meant that elections to the Lok Sabha had to be held afresh. It also meant that the economic crisis, which had been brewing since September 1990, could only be resolved when the new government would come to power post-elections, which would only happen around the beginning of June, as voting was to take place in three phases starting 20th May.
Interim Measures
S.P. Shukla, the then Finance Secretary, did a sterling job of raising finances through a series of bridge loans to keep the coffers running. But those were just interim measures, analogous to keeping a patient on an artificial respirator. Desperate to preserve precious foreign exchange, the government was forced to cancel all import orders. Worse still, foreign suppliers had stopped accepting letters of credit (LCs) issued by Indian banks unless guaranteed or confirmed by internationally reputed banks.
So dire was the financial situation, that leaders across party lines- including Rajiv Gandhi (Congress), L.K. Advani (BJP), V.P. Singh (Janata Dal) and Chandra Shekhar (Samajwadi Janata Party)- concurred that the country had no other option but to seek a loan from the IMF. The new government that would assume office in the first week of June would have its work cut out.
A Searing Tragedy
At this stage came a tragic twist of fate. On 21st May the leader of the Congress and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated at Sriperumbudur near Chennai, where he had gone to address an election rally. Under the circumstances it was impossible to continue with a business as usual approach. The two remaining phases of voting were deferred to 12th and 15th June.
The unexpected development meant the formation of the new government, which was expected to be completed by the first week of June, would not happen until the end of the month. By now India's foreign exchange reserves had dipped below $1 Billion. The IMF and the World Bank had both pledged their support to India, but it was evident that no further financial assistance was forthcoming until economic reforms- a precondition to the assistance given in 1990- were initiated. Without the foreign exchange to buy oil, the country would come grinding to a halt. India was on the verge of a sovereign default.
Selling the Family Silver
In October 1990, the United Front Government had realised that it held one additional card up its sleeve in the event of an emergency- confiscated gold lying in the custody of the RBI. In October 1990 the V.P. Singh government had issued an ordinance to revalue the gold at market price. Six months later, confronted by the prospect of a humiliating sovereign default, the caretaker government under Chandra Shekhar gave its approval to act.
And so during the last days of May, 20 tonnes of gold were dispatched to London in four consignments to the Bank of England, in exchange for which the IMF advanced a fresh loan of $240 Million. The operation was carried out by the State Bank of India under utmost secrecy. Only a week later, when an official announcement was made by Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, did the country get to know about the sale of gold.
A Twist of Fate
In the meanwhile the Congress, still the biggest party in the political landscape and the one most likely to return to power after elections, was without a head. With too many claimants to power, the party decided to revert to the glue that held together its disunited ranks: the Gandhi family. The newly widowed Sonia Gandhi, who had not been involved in active politics until then and knew too little about her adopted country, was understandably unwilling to assume the mantle herself.
Nevertheless, Sonia Gandhi called on the 78 year old P.N. Haksar, a veteran who had once been Indira Gandhi's principal secretary and one of her most trusted advisors. On his recommendation, Mrs. Gandhi approached Vice President Shankar Dayal Sharma, a veteran leader and one of the most respected party men. Sharma, nearly 73 years old and struggling with failing health, politely declined the offer.
With S.D. Sharma out of the reckoning, Mrs. Gandhi's second choice was another veteran Congressman who had lately announced his retirement from politics: former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao. Rao had taken no part in the elections and was in fact in the process of packing his belongings so that he could vacate his quarters in Lutyens' Delhi and resettle to his house in Hyderabad.
And so the 70 year old Rao, who was all set to retire into obscurity, who had not even been his party's first choice to replace the unexpectedly deceased leader, was now confronted by the prospect of becoming the Prime Minister of India.
The offer was too good to refuse.
The assassination of Rajiv Gandhi resulted in a massive wave of sympathy in favour of the Congress. Having fared poorly in the constituencies which went to vote on 20th May, the party swept the post-assassination phase to emerge with 244 seats in the Lok Sabha- 28 short of an outright majority, but enough to form the government with outside support from the communist parties.
P.V. Narasimha Rao, who had not even contested elections, contested a bypoll in Nandyal (Andhra Pradesh), winning by a massive 5 lakh votes. On 21st June 1991, he and his cabinet were sworn in.
The newly formed government had just enough foreign exchange reserves to pay for two weeks of imports. Confronting it were the challenges of a looming sovereign default and an economy that was in dire straits.
The proposals drafted by Yashwant Sinha and his team had to be implemented as soon as possible. There was absolutely no scope for any further delay. But the political instability of the previous 18 months meant that reforms were still a long way away, as no attempt had been made to forge a political consensus until then.
P.V. Narasimha Rao and his team faced a steep challenge.

Leeds is undoubtedly one of the best cities for students and young professionals in the UK and with such a huge youth population it's not hard to find someone if you are in need of finding a new flatmate.
Most first year students coming to Leeds will go straight into halls and take up house shares with friends during their second and third years studying. For those unfortunate enough to have a housemate drop out it can be a worrying experience. Although most estate agents will let you source a replacement you don't want to get stuck having to cover the rent of the missing member.
You never truly know what someone is like to live with until you actually take the plunge, but more often than not it's a wise choice to interview or talk to anyone interested in moving in to make sure you are all going to get on. Here's a few things to keep in mind if you find yourself on the lookout for a new housemate.
Are they a student? Or do they work full time?
This is normally the first question you should ask and one of the most important things to highlight in your ad. If you and the rest of your housemates are students then would you be comfortable with living with someone who works full time? Likewise, if you work full time would you want to live with students?
Do you pay your bills on time?
If you house share in popular student areas like Hyde Park, Headingley or Horsforth that are dominated by the larger local agents like Parklane Properties and City Red that offer all-inclusive rent this is not so much of a problem. However, if you pay your bills separately you have to make sure that your new housemate is going to keep up with their share of the bills.
To protect your own interests and to avoid any arguments, select a date during the month that all bills must be paid by and ask them to set up a direct debit or standing order.
Do you smoke?
If you or your current flat mates don't smoke and you don't want anyone to do so make it very clear from the beginning. Agree this in advance with any other flatmates and make it plain in your ad too.
Do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?
If you're single, it would be understandable if you don't wish to share your living space with a couple, no one likes being the third-wheel!
This question is also really important if you live in a small property. Having that extra person around for even a few days a week can take up a lot of valuable space in your home and can add a lot to your monthly energy bill.
How's their social life?
You should get this out in the open as soon as you meet a prospective housemate. If you're working full time or are on a particularly intensive course a housemate with a particularly active social life might not be the person for you.
If you think the person's social life will clash with you, choose someone else to move in, it will save you both a lot of frustration and arguments
Do you mind cleaning?
If you have a cleaning rota in place, you should agree on who cleans what and when. If they're not very keen on the idea of cleaning or can't do it, ask them if they would consider paying for a cleaner instead.

iPhone's US web presence beats RIM and WiMo combined
iPhone casts a huge shadow
Based on its logs of worldwide web traffic to mobile devices, AdMob noted that international web requests from the iPhone increased by 86% month over month in December, giving the smartphone a 10.8% share of all mobile device requests.
Worldwide requests only jumped 9% overall in the month, but North American requests grew by 20%. Much of that increase was due to iPhone traffic in the US, where the phone generated a whopping 48% of smartphone requests, up from just 9% in May. That is all the more impressive considering that the iPhone is only available on AT's network, where the device appears to consume more than half of the mobile data bandwidth in use.
AdMob reported that behind Apple's leading share of the US smartphone market, RIM was in second place with 19% and Microsoft's Windows Mobile trailed with 15%. Palm OS captured a 9% traffic share in December, down dramatically from a 20% peak in June due to the Palm Centro. Google's Android platform recorded a 2% share for the month.
iPod touch busts a move
"iPod touch requests on AdMob's network exploded on December 25," according to the report, with web traffic from the device increasing by 3.4 times over the previous month. iPod touch traffic was at 18 million requests in July, but jumped to 292 million in December.
The iPod touch is the number two device in AdMob's figures, with a 4.7% traffic share worldwide. Added to the first place iPhone, Apple has a 15.5% share of the company's traffic figures.
AdMob's smartphone numbers
AdMob's figures are based on the company's network of 6,000 mobile web sites and 400 mobile applications which serve the firm's ads to mobile devices. Smartphones generated 33% of the company's overall reported traffic worldwide.
Of the worldwide smartphone market, Symbian OS continued to lead with 41% of the market, including more than a 90% share of Asia and Africa. However, the iPhone grabbed a second place share of 32%, with a strong showing in North America, Europe, and Latin America. Conversely, Symbian has very little showing in North America.
Next in line internationally are the RIM OS used by BlackBerry devices at 10% and Windows Mobile with a 9% share, both of which are largely limited to North America. Palm, Danger (Sidekick) and Android claimed 4%, 2% and 1% share of the OS pie, respectively. AdMob stated that smartphones running Linux had a negligible share.
Just within the US, Apple dominated the smartphone market with a 48% share, not including any traffic from the WiFi-only iPod touch.
Apple's influential mobile data traffic volumes
AdMob's numbers give Apple a representation on the mobile web and in web advertising that overshadows the company's actual unit sales, largely because iPhone and iPod touch users actually use their mobile devices for data more frequently.
However, that also means that advertisers are seeing more reason to craft ads to target iPhone users. That in turn is a crushing blow to Adobe Flash as an ad medium, as the iPhone does not render Flash content. As Apple's mobile device sales increase, the relative importance of Flash will not only continue to wane, but additional attention will be directed toward the development of open standards-based HTML and JavaScript content.
Google and Nokia's adoption of the WebKit browser engine used by Apple's Safari web browser will also help to accelerate the mobile web's adoption of standards-based web apps and sites, a development that is occurring faster on mobile devices dominated by the iPhone and iPod touch than on the PC desktop, where progress toward standards-based web development has been held up for a decade due to the dominance of Microsoft's less than compliant Internet Explorer.

The Crabcake Factory Story
In 1996 after three season's operating a popular Ocean City Bar and Grille called Terrapin Station, Johnny Brooks took a gamble on a little breakfast spot in North Ocean City, Maryland. "I had lost my lease" explains Brooks, "and by a stroke of luck the owner of the Hotel here was a fan of my cooking". That was over 20 years ago and Brooks still maintains the same philosophy on the resort area restaurant scene. "We have never tried to be anything other than what we are" claims Chef Brooks, "We are just a little seafood shack down the shore with a lively bar, a funky outlook and a genuine love for all things Maryland, especially the Seafood".
Crabcake Factory currently operates four restaurants in the Ocean City, Maryland Beach Area. That "little seafood shack" remains a staple in Ocean City and is referred to as the Original Crabcake or OG for short. The OG underwent renovations during the Winter of 2017. It has kept the same intimate ambiance with a welcomed facelift. The Bayfront location in Fenwick Island, Delaware is a true throwback to the beach shacks that litter the Florida Keys, serving fresh seafood and libations just feet from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. September 2016 Brooks opened a Third Location directly across the Street from the Original. The Crabcake Factory Seafood House is large Family Style Restaurant with Live Music and ample seating inside and outside and parking. The Fourth Location, Crabcake Factory Poolside, opened Summer of 2017. Johnny brought in his brother, Ron Brooks and Managing Partner Benny Feehley for their newest location in Downtown OC. Offering their award-winning food and beverage on a beautiful pool deck with palm trees and fun in the sun!
Crabcake Factory is known for several things. World Famous Crabcakes, Over the Top Breakfast and Outrageous Bloody Marys. Known for its casual fun atmosphere, drinking all day tee shirts and 5 star food, "The Factory" is a staple of Ocean City for over two decades now.

Square is hot on the game, but the question is will this money transfer be restricted domestically, or does Square have plans to go abroad? I'd bet right now – domestic payments only. (Thanks to Robert Oswald for tweeting this.)

Hard as a dead kitten
Went to the Acoustic Folk Club at the Crown and Anchor last night. Featuring Glashin, otherwise known as Jo and Paul, from Hastings. Paul plays a mean guitar which contrasts most fascinatingly with Jo's haunting flute. I liked their soulful version of 'High Germany' and their brilliant high-speed polkas.
This is the third meeting of this club. The venue is upstairs at the Crown and Anchor on Marine Parade every last Tuesday of the month at 8 p.m. You can show up with your instruments and get your name on the running list, and everyone is very friendly. (When was anyone not friendly at a folk club?!) It is acoustic, although amplified, and you don't have to be used to singing with microphones, as Jim makes sure you will be heard.
As Jim says, the joy of a folk club is the variety of styles. George and the Georgettes delivered a lively rendition of Paul Simon's 'Mardi Gras' with strong harmonies from the Georgettes. Keith read several of his poems, including a vigorous Valentine poem for a double bass, and one about the city full of creative metaphors like 'as hard as a dead kitten'. There were traditional songs as well as pop songs, and a few with choruses being called for. And if you aren't sure you'll remember the words, a music stand is provided!
My first blog...
Got my new website up and running, although it still has fake recipes on the home page and the search engines don't appear to have found it yet.
Yesterday I was practising tunes on the fiddle and my finger just cramped up and wouldn't move any more. Trying too hard, perhaps. When I can look at an audience and smile and not forget what I'm playing, then I shall be getting somewhere!
I'm Julia Galvin and I like folk music!

Newsletter Issue #610: Can You Believe Those Product Reviews?August 8th, 2011
The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, "You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts." When you look at this oft-quoted statement, the meaning is clear, even though far too many people ignore the meaning.
So let's consider all those reviews of consumer products you read in such magazines as Consumer Reports, or publications dedicated to a specific product category, such as cars and personal computers. Are the reviewers fair, do they use reliable methodology in deciding what's good and what's bad?
More important: Are those reviews tainted because of possible influence from manufacturers who want to see their stuff get high ratings? If a publication is receiving advertising from a company, thus depending on them for some of their income, how can they in turn criticize that company's products and not suffer from the possible consequences?

Ehhhh, 27 is a little old to be named Maxim's "Sexiest Woman Alive" but other than that, Olivia Culpo is a very deserving woman. Former Miss Universe and Ex Girlfriend of Tom Brady's good friend Danny Amendola.

I've always looked at the Maxim Hot 100 with admiration. There have been so many smart and successful women featured who have inspired me and my career in countless ways which makes this cover so meaningful to me. It still doesn't feel real!

This Guy Who Dropped His Beers Is So Mad. The Video Will Make You Laugh and Feel Bad For Him.
I've been there bud. It was the 4th of July and I had just bought a 30 case from the convince store and was walking down a hill to the firework show. Dropped the damn case and I swear only 4-5 beers survived. So I feel how sad this guy was.
Russian Company Pays Women More If They Wear Short Skirts.
So I read this whole story and you can too if you click this link….. Here's my breakdown. An Aluminum company is Russia is tired of their female employees dressing and looking like males and they want to encourage women to dress more feminine. These are their words not mine. I know plenty of girls who don't look like girls and more power to them. Back to the story, So this company is offering females bonus pay if they wear short skirts and then send a selfie to their boss.
Total ho move by this company but it's Russia for god's sake. You can't even be gay over there. I also wouldn't date a girl that works there. Apparently there is like 700 dudes to 150 Females……. Not good.
Cleveland Police Cruiser Takes A Loss After It Gets Dildo'd
Hate to see it happen to anybody. Even A Police Officer but in this case. Better them than me. Kudos to whoever did this though and they must have deep pockets because "I Hear" dildos are not cheap….. And that just made me think. What if they didn't buy it just to pull off this prank. What if. What if it's used!!!!!!! Yikes. God Speed Cleveland Police.

TAGAYTAY – Tony Lascuña rode on a hot putter and explosive windup to shoot a six-under 66 and storm past former national teammate Rey Pagunsan, seizing a two-stroke lead at the midway point of the ICTSI Splendido Classic here yesterday.
Recalling the form and putting touch that netted him three straight championships at Eagle Ridge, Forest Hills and Bacolod, Lascuña turned the Splendido Taal Golf Club's backside into a virtual playground, gunning down seven birdies, including five straight from No. 10 as he moved from joint fourth to the top of the heap at nine-under 135.
"I always thought that putting is the key to winning so I practiced for one week at Southwoods during the break. Just putting – to polish and firm up my stroke. I'm glad it paid off," said Lascuña.
A pair of seven footers on Nos. 10 and 11 sparked his fiery backside finish and the ace Davaoeño shotmaker strung up three more inside eight feet to get past Pagunsan, who had earlier turned in a 70. Lascuña did fumble with a bogey on No. 15, missing a seven-footer, but birdied No. 16 for the second straight day and holed out with another eight-footer for that 30 and a 66.
Pagunsan birdied two of the last four holes at the front to save a 70 and looked headed to grabbing the lead at 137 until Lascuña came in with that six-under card that tied Korean Seok Jun Min's opening round feat.

I have somewhat mixed feelings on the idea what might be considered salad bar religions, where adherents take a bit of this and that and mix them to taste. Neo-pagan religions are probably the best example, but they're certainly not the only culprits. When you get right down to it, all religions are more or less like that. People make judgments about whether someone else is a real Christian or Muslim, as if there's only one way to do that. Most holy books that I know of contradict each other so much that you pretty much have to pick and choose. There remains the issue of whether you're going to decide which parts to follow yourself, or trust someone else to tell you. People will say the most authentic version of a religion is the one that its founder intended, but not only are records incomplete and inconsistent, but even they were often combining earlier traditions. As much as people want to say religions are unchanging, they actually develop with the times. Even though Jesus said he didn't intend to alter the scriptures, other stuff in the New Testament indicates that he did. For instance, he says Moses allowed divorce because of the hardness of people's hearts, but that his own followers should never divorce. Who knows whether that's subject to change again? If there's one true faith, as believers are fond of saying, why would prophets disagree with each other? Wouldn't God have just told the right thing to the first guy, and not needed all the rest? I have to suspect that, if there is a God, he's not a particularly effective communicator. Not with humans, anyway. We apparently misinterpret everything and have to be told again.
One issue I find with just picking the parts of religion you like and disregarding the rest is how sincere you can really be when you do that. While all religion is personal, I have to wonder if some people actually believe what they claim to, or they just think it would be nice. Along with that comes the question of whether you're just dismissing the inconvenient parts. As unnecessary as some religious sacrifice appears, you can tell the people who go through with it are pretty serious about it. When you just want the good stuff without the rules, how deeply can you really say you believe it? To my non-religious mind, the most important thing isn't how authentic your religion is, but whether it's good. I think everyone who isn't purposely wearing blinders on the subject realizes that religion doesn't really work as the ultimate source of morality, and that it's totally possible to be good without believing in God.
That said, "good" isn't always that simple, and there are some moral aspects to many religions that are worth examining in this respect. Certainly, the teaching of turning the other cheek goes beyond merely being nice to other people, and a person doing this isn't causing anyone harm. That said, there might be times when selfishness and standing up for yourself aren't bad. The same goes for the Buddhist concept of freedom from desire. I don't necessarily see desire as a negative thing, at least not all the time. The people who really stick to this precept, however, aren't likely to blow up Planned Parenthood clinics or campaign against gay marriage, so I can't say they're not good. I do think that, while it's possible the material world isn't real, it's all we know, so world-denying philosophies seem rather short-sighted. People who hold to them might turn out to be right after all, but if they're wrong they would have missed out on the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. I don't think it's advisable to ignore what you have now in favor of what you MIGHT have in the future. Anyway, ideas like these are worth questioning, but they have a certain amount of merit and a morality that goes beyond just "behave yourself." I guess my main thing is that it doesn't matter which religion you follow so much as it does that you actually think about your beliefs and have a little more support for them than "God said so."

An article published in the Chronicle today discussed the results of a survey on fat bias. Curiously, the headline was "Some Americans OK With Being Fat." The headline was only curious if you bothered to read the article, though. Although I note the Chronicle hedged their bets with "some."
The lead-in claimed that according to the survey, the percentage of Americans who "found overweight people unattractive" had dropped. The article continued, saying that while body image is "still an issue" in the United States, fewer Americans are as concerned with body image as they were before, fewer Americans are changing their food intake or eating restricted diets, and fewer Americans have a personal problem with being overweight. Indeed, the first part of the article makes it sounds as though fat is widely accepted and embraced in the United States, which is clearly not the case as any woman over 115 pounds can tell you.
This article was interesting to me since overweight and obese people are constantly being maligned in the media. The way they talk, it's as though the real problem with America is our "growing waistline," rather than lack of access to health care or good education or something. I'm surprised that they haven't declared a "war on fat" to motivate us into trimming down. It's totally acceptable for mainstream news media to slam people for being fat. I can't imagine the New York Times publishing an article claiming that women in the workplace were destroying American society.
The article made a brief nod to fats rights activists, and pointed out that style trends change–there have been periods in history when overweight women were revered, and there are still parts of the world where more weight is desirable and attractive–clearly it's a matter of societal taste rather than instinct or some such nonsense.
However, the crux of the article came in the end, and it's a crux that I agree with. Several researchers have pointed out that surveys and studies are very flawed for determining social attitudes. In the PC era, I'm sure many survey respondents did not answer truthfully, because it wouldn't be "nice." I actually believe that overweight individuals experience a great deal of bias–probably more than at any other point in history. One individual they interviewed, Kelly Brownell, pointed out that if you held a survey about racial bias, most people would not respond truthfully. Who in the post civil rights and politically correct era would say "yeah, I don't really like black people, you know?"
Fat people are subject to immense hurdles if they want to succeed in American society, as studies looking at unconscious bias have shown. You don't have to like fat people any more than you have to like Mexicans, but a basic measure of courtesy and respect is not unreasonable to ask for. In a fitness-happy nation, fat is one of the few things it's still socially acceptable to talk shit about. Fat is the subject of countless cruel jokes and tasteless movies–I am often astounded by the amount of fat bias in Hollywood films. Imagine the central plot of a movie being a greedy Jew or a stupid black woman with eight children, and being expected to laugh at it. I believe that comedy and parody have their place in society, but I think that comedy surrounding fat people has a sharp undertone–not only should you laugh at this because it's funny, but you should laugh at this because fat people are pathetic half humans who don't really deserve the respect skinny people get by rights.
Can being overweight lead to health problems? For sure. But so can smoking. So can a lot of things that skinny people do. Sometimes they are even condemned for endangering their health. However, it's possible to be fat and fit just as it is to be skinny and unhealthy. I greatly dislike the attitude that if you aren't skeletal, you aren't "healthy" and that we somehow owe it to society to endanger our health in the pursuit of perfection. Being fat is not inherently unhealthy, and this has been proven in numerous studies. Being anorexic, on the other hand, is always unhealthy.
Furthermore, if someone next to you on the street is smoking a cigarette, that affects your health and environment. This is one of the reasons the campaign against smoking has so many backers, because things like smoking, drinking and driving, and so forth do affect others in directly negative ways. If the person next to you is fat, it should have no affect on you whatsoever, except that merely standing next to an overweight person causes people to be more likely to evaluate you in a negative way–up to 22 percent more, according to a University of Liverpool study.
Now that is fucked.
p.s. There is a call for submissions for the Big Fat Carnival over at Alas, a Blog. Submissions about all aspects of the fatosphere (hah!) are welcome, although "…please note, The Big Fat Carnival is not a place to advocate weight-loss diets, weight loss surgery (WLS), or feederism."

Arrests of migrant families illegally crossing the Mexican border into the United States jumped 38 percent in August from July, official data showed Wednesday, despite efforts by Donald Trump's administration to crack down on the flow.
The Department of Homeland Security said that 12,774 people who crossed the border as families without immigration documents were taken into custody last month, the highest ever for a month of August.
The number jumped after US courts ordered the administration to stop separating immigrant children from their parents for lengthy periods, a practice that had left hundreds of young children detained in US government camps without family for months on end.
Last week the Trump administration moved to lift the 20-day legal limit on how long children can be separated from their families, in a move aiming to establish a stronger deterrent to illegal immigration.
"August Southwest Border Migration numbers show a clear indicator that the migration flows are responding to gaps in our nation's legal framework," said DHS spokesman Tyler Houlton.
"Smugglers and traffickers understand our broken immigration laws better than most and know that if a family unit illegally enters the US they are likely to be released into the interior," he said in a statement.
Data from US Customs and Border Protection showed the total number of people arrested, including individuals and unaccompanied children, also rose significantly in August from July to 37,544 individuals, and was sharply higher than one year ago.

I bought myself a great big Underwood …
"Red Writer" © 1981. A Lithograph from an Original Silkscreen Print by Anne Laddon.
In response to my question posted on Anne's blog page: Did she own a typewriter? Anne replied:
"I learned to type on an Underwood, found one in an antique store in Virginia in the early '70s and created the silkscreen from it then."
The "Red Writer" is mounted on hardboard with an aluminium and glass frame. It's big, it's bold, it's beautiful.
More great typewriter art:

Sisters of St. Francis
Peace. Music. Retreats.
Toledo immigration attorney Linda Mansour is a friend of the Sisters of St. Francis, Tiffin, largely because of Sister Paulette Schroeder's peace work in Hebron. We've resurrected a project done by WTOL-News 11 in Toledo, in which Linda talks about her connection to Palestine. Compelling, thought-provoking, disturbing — and definitely worth seeing.
Light's varied sources
Summer slants its fine rays forward into winter's
long, dark shadows.
We are pleased to know it will last
at least
a little
Very pleased our local newspaper answered with a "yes" my request that its religion editor write a story about Sister Shirley who, at age 59, became a Sister of St. Francis two days ago.
She is so happy, she lights up the room.
Yes to work
Just wrapped up fall issue of the Sisters of St. Francis' magazine. Really enjoy magazine work. The process is wonderful. It taps into a lot of things I've learned about working with words and pictures over the years. Feeling blessed.
And the Sisters of St. Francis Community is thriving these days. Nine new associates, two novices, one making her final profession this Sunday and one in the pipeline to make hers next year. Pretty remarkable. And quite a wonderful community of women.
I enjoy working for them — and with them.
Working with words and pictures
I do enjoy managing the Sisters of St. Francis Facebook page. Producing the magazine is also a delight.
Reaching out
Managing the Tiffin Sisters of St. Francis Facebook page is one of my more pleasant duties. Marketing the page is a challenge — so you can imagine my delight when a new "like" appears. We usually get about 5-10 a week.
It's a new-ish page so we're pleased with that.
