Each title in the NZ Library is limited to 350 numbered, signed and individually slipcased copies.
London-based artist Idris Khan was born in the UK in 1978. Since completing his Master's Degree with a Distinction in Research at the Royal College of Art in London in 2004, Khan has received international acclaim for his minimal, yet emotionally charged photographs, videos and sculptures and is without question one of the most exciting British artists of his generation.
Appropriating icons of literature, music, and art, Khan methodically layers his material, whether it is Beethoven's symphony, Milton's Paradise Lost, or Bernd and Hilla Becher's stylized sculpture of water towers. In speaking about his work, Khan says that "every layer is an effect that needs to be created... Each layer is a fallible human decision. There is a decision made as to what I want to keep and what has to disappear. This process allows me to cut out the camera completely." Each layer in the resulting artwork adds complexity similar to a painter's mark on a canvas. Khan's photographs are not "taken"; they are built. The final composite image has the look and feel of a dense, quivering charcoal drawing.
Image | Music | Text presents a selection of Khan's most powerful imagery to date, enjoying the intimacy of a book's presentation while taking full advantage of the series's generous format. The artist's design incorporates three gatefold spreads, each measuring some thirty inches across.
The subject of numerous exhibitions at internations venues, Idris Khan's work is in the permanent collections of many institutions worldwide such as The Saatchi Collection, London; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France.

Disgraced congressman from New York City Anthony Weiner, 53, was teary eyed when he was sentenced last Monday to 21 months in prison as he pleaded guilty in sexting with a known 15-year old from North Carolina.
Aside from prison time which will start on November 6, he will also be listed as a registered sex offender for life.
He cried saying sorry and that he was "a very sick man for a very long time. The crime I committed was my rock bottom. I live a different and better life today."
U.S. District Court Judge Denise Cote said, "This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment."
Acting U.S Attorney Joon Kim said, "Anthony Weiner … asked a girl who he knew to be 15 years old to display her naked body and engage in sexually explicit behavior for him online. Today, Anthony Weiner received a just sentence that was appropriate for his crime."
Defense attorney Arlo Devlin-Brown said, "Judge Cote reasoned that because of Anthony's notoriety, a sentence of imprisonment could discourage others from following in his footsteps. We certainly hope this public service message is received, but it has resulted in a punishment more severe than it had to be."
As prosecutors sought to for Weiner to at least have 21 months in prison said, "He initially denied his conduct, he suffered personal and professional consequences, he publicly apologized and claimed reform. Yet he continued to engage in the very conduct he swore off, progressing … to that which is also destructive to a teenage girl."

Food safety technology company Certus has introduced a rapid response in-house pathogen testing system.
Certus System, referred to by the company as a same-shift (within eight hours) result solution, gives companies the ability to test products themselves instead of through a third-party lab.
"The Certus System allows you to save money, save time and save your reputation," John Coomes, Certus president, said in the release. "With in-house same-shift detection, food producers can enhance their quality control measures and establish their reputation as a trustworthy supplier."
The system recently underwent a validation process testing its ability to detect listeria strains during a standard work shift, according to the news release. The evaluation included testing on stainless steel, plastic, ceramic and other surfaces, with a 98% accuracy, according to the release.
The system includes facility management software that allows test site result mapping, and automatically records critical data points that show Food Safety Modernization Act compliance.
The company will be demonstrating the Certus System at the International Association of Food Protection July 8-11 in Salt Lake City.

Catch Water Where It Falls – Toolkit on Urban Rainwater Harvesting
Press Release :: This is CSE's new hands-on book based on our survey with exhaustive case studies on how rainwater harvesting (RWH) is being implemented, right across India – in residential, institutional, and industrial/ commercial segments. You will find cases that you can relate to with all the details you would need, to implement RWH in your premises – right from preparing your water budget, harvesting for storage/recharge to maintenance and beyond.
Water is what urban India is fighting for today. Cities across the country are facing the crippling effects of acute water scarcity. There is hardly any city that can boast of a 24-hour water supply. Groundwater tables are falling rapidly, centuries-old water bodies have disappeared or are severely polluted. Urban floods are becoming a regular phenomenon during monsoons. In addition to this, most of our rivers have become carriers of urban filth.
This is giving rise to a nightmarish scenario in which urban populations – mainly the urban poor – are at the receiving end. Our effort in publishing this toolkit is to re-train and re-skill a generation of Indians who have lost touch with nature's most precious gift –rain.
We have documented the experiences of diverse segments, and most importantly, the new innovations adopted – from the design of filters to rainwater harvesting sumps etc. This innovation is what the society needs as it rebuilds its knowledge of living with nature.
Enjoy the 'magic' of making rainwater a part of your life. Get your copy today. Or better still, order multiple copies and share it with everybody in your organisation who would benefit from this, and thus directly contribute to your vision of having your neighbourhood free of water shortage in the coming years.
The best part is there are easy solutions out there to address this serious issue, and many are already implementing them. And we owe it to ourselves and the coming generations to implement them, before it is too late. We are sending an order form which has more details about the book.

Is it just me, or is Germany possibly the greatest country in the world today…?
Germany is considered the 5th best place to be young in the world (3rd in Europe), and with 64% of the population speaking English, it's also one of the best places for foreigners of any age to visit (…especially if they speak English). It has the world's 4th largest economy (after US, China, and Japan) and an impressively low unemployment rate. It's no wonder that it was rated as the most positively viewed country in the world in 2013 by the BCC. But the real story that motivated me to blog about this is the news about something dear to my heart – higher education. Namely, Germany has made all of its university education completely free.
Say What?
Considering that Germany has the third-most institutions among the world's best universities (just behind the US & UK), this is a serious and astonishing development. In fact, after having investigated many of the available courses myself, I can say that there are some very interesting options for students of any nations. In English, that is. I have nothing to say about German courses because, frankly, I can't read German.
Too good to be true? Absolutely not. English is already the main language taught in many German universities, and the amount of English-only schools is growing. Even the best institutions in the country offer programs for international students in English. Of course, it depends on what you would like to learn. Having looked through the catalog of bachelor's degrees for business and PhDs for psychology offered entirely in English, it's easy to see (especially for the bachelor's degrees, which have lots of information available) that the quality of these programs look excellent. Even I have begun considering studying in Germany for graduate school because of this news. From care2:
Germany has never been known for having high tuition costs, but last week it officially voted to make college education free for everyone. According to German senator Dorothee Stapelfeldt, the decision was made because they felt paying anything for tuition was "unjust" and discouraged students with difficult economic circumstances from receiving a high level of education.
Though tuition was already incredibly low by American standards – sitting at about $600 for a year – this decision completely does away with it: even for international students.
This move isn't unprecedented for Germany. Higher education was free in the past, but in 2006 institutions across the country began charging.
Public outcry caused most schools to phase out their tuition policies rapidly. Last week, Lower Saxony was the final state to formally end all of theirs, driving the proverbial nail into the coffin for tuition fees.
American students, who typically graduate university with about $29,000 of student debt, could now be eyeing Germany as a place to continue their studies. Of course, they'll have to learn German. Universities have accounted for this, however, with many German language classes on offer. Other schools offer some classes taught in English under headings such as "International Studies."
This is all true except for the last paragraph above, which is misleading.
To reiterate, you will not have to learn German. I could get a BA, MA, and PhD in Germany without ever having to pay tuition, despite the fact that I am neither German nor speak any German. Sure, depending on the program, you may require basic German language abilities; but this is not actually requiring fluency by any stretch of the imagination.
You may be required to introduce yourself in German, and perhaps talk about your studies in a very rudimentary way. I suspect that this language requirement (again: for some programs, not all) is more to make sure that you are able to live in Germany; not because it has anything to do with the curriculum. Your degree will be in "International Studies," but in whatever you're studying. For example, I found lots of really great-looking neuroscience doctorates during my research.
How and Why?
You may be wondering… how can Germany do this? It's really kind of simple: Taxes & hopes.
Germany wants more skilled workers, and it hopes that you will enter the German workforce after you graduate. Meanwhile, universities are paid (though they all pretty much claim to be underfunded) through taxes. Yes, taxes are high for Germans, but in case you forgot: tuition is free!
So you might now think "so they are manipulating me in order to get me to work for them?" Not really; but even if that was the case, I find no problem in that. If I am educated in a country that has treated me well, and I have a good social life there, then entering the workforce to "give back" to the community would be an easy choice to make. This is true for any country.
Of course, many factors can influence this decision, but the hope is presumably that you will fall in love with Germany. And you know what? It's looking pretty attractive.
[November 14 Update: Also read QS' article on How to Study a PhD in Germany]
The more I learn about Germany, and the idea of moving there for graduate studies, the more I am becoming open to it. This recent news just made it all the more official – Germany is an amazing country. It is not the first or the only country to eliminate tuition, but there's no other culture like it.
Of course, I'm not going to go into the merits of the German culture ( 'm not some spokesman for Germany, nor do I know much about the German culture), but I will ask the following question: Won't young people (specifically, but not exclusively, Americans) who can't afford the university experience, consider moving to Germany? I don't think I have met a single American my age in the last few years (where I live in Japan) who are not still paying back student loans from university. Is it that they don't want to be separated from home? They don't know about the amazing opportunities abroad? I'm not sure. But, the way I see it, the choice is now this:
- Entering the workforce with international experience and an additional language under your belt (if you choose to spend some free time learning German).
- Entering the workforce after living near/at home, with tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
I know a lot of people (including Americans, who pay the highest tuition fees) would pick #2, simply because being in a foreign country can be scary. I get it – I really do. But you will always have choices in your life that will be scary. At least something like this will also have the added benefit of being an adventure, in a country when more than 6 out of 10 people speak fluent English.
It should be mentioned that just because these programs are free does not mean that they are easy to get into. They are still competitive programs (which also implies that they are high quality), and you will have to work hard in order to be accepted (i.e., good grades, a good CV, etc.). But since this news is so new to most people, the next few years will be probably be easier for international students to get into. Perhaps when more people find out about the free tuition, the competition will become that much greater. Also, free tuition doesn't mean free room and board. Naturally, students will have to pay for their own living expenses.
The Bottom Line
What it really comes down to is whether or not you are able to say goodbye to a cozy life of certainty (which won't be so cozy once the debts have to be paid back) in order to embrace this unbelievable opportunity.
I decided to write this post because I am considering this option myself, and I think you would be foolish to ignore this opportunity if money is an issue for you, and you're interested in higher education. If this post has made you consider Germany, please let me know in the comments section below. Maybe in a few years, I'll see you there.
For more information, search for German programs available in English here, at the DAAD (i.e., the German Academic Exchange Service).

Poor Indians
Posted by Muthu on November 10, 2014
Uday Tharar (https://twitter.com/udaytharar) is an economist and keeps sharing lot of interesting and insightful data.
NSSO ( National Sample Survey Organisation) coming under Ministry of Statistics has provided the following data which was shared by Uday Tharar in a tweet today.
For purpose of conversion, I've assumed 1 USD= Rs.60
25 million people – 2.1% of India's population earn more than $5250 (Rs.3.15 lakhs) every year.
23 million people – 2% of our population earn between $3250 (Rs.1.95 lakhs) to $5250 (Rs.3.15 lakhs) every year
164 million people – 13.5% of our population earn between $1550 (Rs.93,000) to $3250 (Rs.1.95 lakhs) every year.
125 million people – 10.3% of our population earn between $1050 (Rs.63,000) to $1550 (Rs.93,000) every year.
874 million people – 72% of India's population earn lesser than $1050 (Rs.63,000) every year.
When a nation's per capita is around $5000, it is considered as a middle income country. Only 2.5% of us are in that slab. I sincerely hope this government would take lot of efforts to move us from a poor to a middle income country in next 10 years.

Applying PPP factor of 0.3 – About 17.5 % of Indians are middle income .

The data seems to be about the salaried class. The data seems unrealistic compared to the home loan that is being paid by individuals in metros.

10 Things You Always Wanted to Know About Tennis but Were Too Afraid to Ask – #Tennis
Loud grunts, a strange scoring system, and some of the world's wealthiest players all make tennis a game that's equal parts exciting and quirky. The tennis experts at WimbledonDebentureHolders.com have tracked down these ten interesting facts about tennis that you always wanted to know, but were too afraid to ask.
When and where did tennis originate?
Most historians believe that tennis originated in 12th century France, where it was played by partygoers using the back of one's hand.
Why do tennis players check the ball?
Ever wonder why tennis players check the ball before serving? When they look at the ball, they're checking for scuffs and other damage that could cause it to fly in a certain direction unnaturally.
Who is the world's richest tennis player?
While it's impossible to know the exact net worth of most tennis players, the game's current most wealthy players are believed to be the Swiss player Roger Federer and Russian player Maria Sharapova.
Why does tennis use an unusual scoring system?
The scoring system used in tennis is believed to have been derived from the face of a clock. The 15-30-40 scoring system is reportedly based on the quarters – aside from the last scoring point – of a clock.
Why is 'deuce' used in tennis scoring?
'Deuce' actually means two – the number of points that a player must score to exit the tie and win the game.
Why do players grunt when they hit the ball?
Tennis players grunt for two reasons. The first is to distract their opponents and let them make a mistake. The second is to let out air from the huge amount of exertion required to make a powerful shot. The "grunt-o-meter" is a hand-held device that measures the volume of players – in 2012 USA Today reported that Maria Sharapova is by far the loudest grunter.
Who has the fastest serve in tennis?
The world's fastest tennis service belongs to Australian player Samuel Groth, who served the ball at an incredible 163.4 miles per hour during the 2012 Busan Open Challenger Tennis Tournament.
Why are tennis balls green?
Experienced players will know that tennis balls are actually yellow. Tennis balls are engineered in a high-visibility colour so that they can easily be seen by both players and spectators on a variety of different tennis courts.
How long was the longest tennis game?
The longest tennis game in history lasted over 11 hours and was played at the 2010 Wimbledon tournament. Isner & Mahut played a match that spanned across 3 days, with the final set having lasted 8 hours!
How long is the ball in active play?
While the average tennis game takes around two hours, the ball actually spends less than a quarter of that time in play. In most games, the ball is in the air for around 30 minutes.

The Romulan warbird was a type of warbird operated by the Romulan military in the 2340s. They were known to be less maneuverable than Starfleet's Ambassador-class starships.
In 2344, four of these vessels attacked a Klingon colony on Narendra III. The USS Enterprise-C attempted to defend the colony, but was destroyed in battle. The warbirds captured several survivors, including a time-displaced Natasha Yar, and brought them back to Romulus. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")

On shiksas, love and the prime minister's son
I used to be a shiksa. A very good shiksa; pure British blood, blonde-haired and from a good family of Bible-believing Christians. Then I came to Israel and fell in love.
I fell in love with a country, with a religion and with a people. Later on, I fell in love with an Israeli. Not just any Israeli, a sabra, a good Jerusalem boy whose mother's family had escaped from the Nazis in Europe and whose father was the son of a Rabbi from Yemen. Despite the fact I was an ex-shiksa, they welcomed me with warmth and acceptance into their family.
Now I am a proud Jew, an ardent Zionist, and still deeply enamored with my country, my people and my religion … and I have three gorgeous dark Israeli kids who don't look anything like me.
When I first came to study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, it was because, as a scholar of theology and history, I had always been interested in Judaism and the Jewish people. Three weeks after I arrived, a suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus on its way to the University, killing one of my ulpan classmates. It was tempting to flee, but I stayed. I had found the place I wanted to be and terror was not going to move me away from where my soul felt at peace.
I don't think that people come to study in Israel, no matter how great the universities are here, if they don't have some kind of pre-existing interest or curiosity about Israel and Judaism. It is not hard to believe that the Prime Minister's son's girlfriend, who is probably not enjoying her fifteen minutes of fame as the world's most famous shiksa at the moment, was drawn to our country and people for some reason as well.
I chose to tie my fate with that of the Jewish people and join the family. I underwent an orthodox conversion in Jerusalem with some wonderful rabbis who told me from the outset, "First be a good person, then be a good Jew," and that is how I live my life. I may not be the best Jew but I definitely try. I fill my life and raise my family with Jewish values and traditions; we celebrate holidays, observe ancient rituals; we live and breathe the history of our People in our daily lives.
I joined a long line of shiksas who chose to become part of the Jewish People. Shiksas like Ruth who said, ""Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God," and even Moses' wife, Zipporah the Cushite could be considered a convert to Judaism. But without a doubt my favorite biblical shiksa/convert is Rahab, from the Book of Joshua.
A rather unpleasant experience happened to me during my conversion process. My rabbis were amazing, godly people, but my encounter with the rabbinical establishment in Israel was less 'spiritual'. The whole process is run on the basis of suspicion and accusation. Heaven forbid that someone might actually want to join the Jewish people because of their deep belief in the religion's tenets. The highlight for me was when a Shaliach Beit HaDin (a rabbinical court official) told me that because I had too many stamps in my passport, I couldn't open a conversion file at the Interior Ministry because they were suspicious that I might be a "call girl". I kid you not.
When I completed the conversion process and the day came to immerse in the mikvah and officially become a Jewess, they asked me what name I would take. I answered that my Jewish name would be Rahab. "No, no, no," they protested. "You cannot be Rahab, you must mean Rachel." They would not accept such a choice and in the end half my documents say "Rahab" and the other half read "Rachel." But in my heart, I am Rahab and proud of it.
Rahab was a great biblical figure. She believed in the God of Israel and helped the Israelites. She had an impressive Jewish husband, Joshua, and among her descendants you can find a who's who list of priests and prophets. And they called her a "call girl" as well.
Years later, when I served in government, I had the opportunity to represent both the Prime Minister, and all the converts in a sense, on the Halfon Committee, an Inter-Ministerial Committee set up to examine the overall organizational structure and pooling of resources in the area of conversion in Israel. Our recommendations, which unfortunately were not all implemented, included the appointment of volunteer rabbis for the special courts for conversion; granting independent status as well as necessary authority to the Conversion Administration in the Office of the Prime Minister and recognition of the unique status of the Joint Institute for Jewish Studies.
I hoped, and still hope, that the conversion process in Israel can be improved so that those who earnestly want to join the Jewish people and tie their fate with ours can be welcomed and nurtured, not humiliated and accused.
David Breakstone, the Vice-Chairman of the World Zionist Organization, recently wrote a blog post about the problem of recognition of the Judaism of the love of his son's life and the difficulties of the conversion requirements in Israel. Now the Prime Minister's son is in love with a shiksa, who maybe one day might want to join the Jewish people (as did his father's second wife), maybe Netanyahu should invest some time and effort into streamlining and improving the conversion process so that it will allow sincere shiksas to become righteous Jews who will raise happy Jewish families in the Land of Israel.

CurlPlease, easy, Hair, Love, Natural Hair, Style
After lurking on my usual blog sites I decided to do a flat twist out using the T-shirt Plopping drying method by Curly Nikki. After I took the t-shirt off of my hair it was smooth and moisturized but not too wet, Which is a good thing because my hair takes forever to dry in twists. I then put about 12 flat twists in my hair using Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat [phew! what a long name], tied them down with a scarf, and took them down the next morning with shea oiled hands and it looked like this… 🙂
I was really happy with the results although I do feel that I let my hair dry in the t-shirt just a tad bit too much because my ends looked a little dry. The next day I decided to re-twist before bed because I was going to happy hour the next day and wanted my twist-out to look fresh and well-defined [big fail approaching]…
I got up and began to take them down and I was shocked at how dry and poofy my hair was. It wasn't giving me anything. I tried smoothing the big limp clumps of hair with shea butter but had no success. Finally, I decided that I need to try to salvage this raggedy twist out, after 30 minutes of toiling with my tresses that were growing more and more unruly by the second, I gave in a did my standby style the 'Tuck and Roll". The Tuck and Roll is always there for me. Sometimes I feel like I look like Tweety Birds mother but it's all good. It is a chic style, I would even stretch to say it's a little regal and professional. The Tuck and Roll is a true friend of mine in times of trouble. 🙂
Sometimes you have to go for what you know! Have a good one!

Welcome to
RPoL (Roleplay Online) is RPG site with proprietary code that includes excellent tools for GMs, including the ability for players to have
individual (and multiple) characters in game, each with their own avatar, character sheet, character description, etc. There is also the
possibility to send private messages, create private lines within posts, separate players into private groups, and many more.
The community is large, diverse, and active.
Adult RPGs are allowed for those 18+, and there are content restrictions on adult content – including keeping such content viewable
only to members of the game. RPoL has other restrictions as well, i
ncluding not allowing graphic depiction of any non-consensual
sexual material or between characters under the age of 18.
Playbyweb is also an RPG site with proprietary code and the ability to have individual characters in game. It does not offer nearly
as many tools as RPoL, and the player base is much smaller. The activity level and the number of games seems to be declining
rather than growing.
Adult RPGs are allowed for those 18+, but all adult games automatically have threads hidden in private groups viewable only to
those users who are part of the game.
Elliquiy got its start when RPoL's adult restrictions were put into place, and some long-running and popular games were asked to
comply or move offsite.
It has grown tremendously since its start, with an extremely large and active membership. While it is geared toward adult roleplay,
it also has a section for non-adult games and stories.

A rather unfortunate situation has arisen on the promising drama Jane Got a Gun. The Western drama has a Black List script by Brian Duffield and an outstanding cast that includes Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, and Jude Law, and production was set to begin yesterday with We Need to Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay at the helm. However, it appears that Ramsay has decided to announce her dropping out of the project by simply not showing up to set on what was to be the first day of filming. Hit the jump for more on this supremely disappointing news.
Jane Got a Gun follows good girl Jane (Portman), who runs away from her outlaw husband (Law) and teams up with an old flame (Edgerton) to protect her family. A bit of drama took place last week, when Michael Fassbender was forced to drop out of the project due to filming on X-Men: Days of Future Past being pushed back and conflicting with his Jane dates. Fassbender was set to play the male lead role of Jane's old flame while Edgerton was signed on to tackle the outlaw husband role, but Edgerton subsequently moved into the part that Fassbender vacated while Law signed on to play the villain.
It seemed like everything was ready to roll, but Deadline reports that Ramsay shockingly failed to show up for the first day of production in Santa Fe, announcing her departure from the film. I found We Need to Talk About Kevin to be one of the best films of 2011, but this sounds like an incredibly unprofessional move on Ramsay's part. Granted we don't know the whole story, but it seems like Ramsay could've found a better way to depart the film that didn't involve leaving her crew and actors hanging on a set without a director.
Ramsay has a pay or play deal, which means that she gets paid her director fee whether the film actually gets made or not. Producer Scott Steindorff tells Deadline that he's committed to keeping the project on track as "directors are flying in and a replacement is imminent." The crew will continue to show up for work and production isn't being halted just yet, with the actors simply rehearsing scenes in lieu of a director available to actually roll film. It's worth noting that Portman is also a producer on the drama, so the actress has quite a bit invested in the production. Hopefully things can get back on track soon, as Jane Got a Gun seems like one of the more promising films currently in development.

2pm shouldn't be so bad. It's neither rush hour nor lunch hour.
I am coming to NYC on April 4th and I have a question. What time is the best time to have to drive from the lincoln tunnel to 52nd and broadway? Everytime I have driven I have gotten there at like 4am so traffic all together was minimal. However, this time I am looking to get there at around 2pm on the Monday. Is traffic horrendous at this time? If so, when during the day is the best time?
Thanks guys.
2pm shouldn't be so bad. It's neither rush hour nor lunch hour.
I suggest taking the Merit pkwy (rt 15) to the cross bronx to the henry hudson - IF you're heading to the west side. Traffic won't be a problem, but get in as early as possible for parking. I lived in n'Aven for a while, and that was the best route I found.
As for leaving, if you're in midtown, I usually take the Lincoln tunnel - you'll wait no matter how you go, but NO DOT try your brooklyn shortcut... that's asking for hours of sitting in traffic. bad.
Route 15 basically runs parallel to I-95 starting around New Haven. If you're coming from the Hartford area, I definitely suggest taking that as opposed to I-95. It's a much nicer roadway, and I always remember taking it to avoid traffic on I-95 when coming back from long weekends in Vermont.
The road is known as the Merritt Parkway while you're in Connecticut. Then it becomes the Hutchinson Parkway once you cross into New York State. You can take that basicall until it ends, which I believe is at the Cross Bronx interchange. Personally, I would recommend staying away from the Cross Bronx. I've had my shares of backups during the most unsuspecting times of the day. A better alternatuve would be to take the Cross County Parkway west from the Hutchinson, and that will get you right onto route 9A. Then you can take that down right into Manhattan and bingo, you're on the West Side Highway.
Also, where are you going at the end of your trip that you considered taking the Verrazano?
100% correct - the cross bronx is terrible and currently under construction, so definitely avoid. I confused my Cross yadda yas...Originally Posted by pianoman11686
Since you're coming from Vermont, I'd recommend to take the exit for Route 15 (The Cross County parkway at that point) when you're approaching New Haven. There are a couple opportunities, as 15 and I-91 get pretty close for a few miles. If you would want to switch back to I-95, there are several opportunities to do so. 15 and I-95 run parallel to each other for the duration of the Connecticut coastline, with 15 being about 5 miles north of 95. It's pretty easy to switch back and forth.
I can't honestly tell you what the traffic will be like at exactly that time. What I can tell you is that I've been on both roads several times, and I-95 is very unpredictable as far as traffic goes. The highway has probably one of the highest continuous volumes of any in the country, and is especially packed with 18 wheelers. Merritt Parkway is a much more pleasant drive - two lanes in either direction, cars only. The speed limit, I believe, is 55, but from what I remember, the quick traffic flow lets you drive at least 65-70 for a good part of the time. Don't count on going any faster than that if you take I-95.
As for leaving the city: On a Sunday, don't worry about traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel. It's definitely the easiest way to get to the turnpike/I-95 south. If anything, you'll see traffic in the opposite direction, coming into the city. As for which entrance to use: I personally try to use the 36th street entrance into the tunnel whenever possible. Not many people know about it, and most will go down 9th or 11th and then turn into the main entrance, which is about 40th street. If you want to avoid 9th avenue traffic, which could be heavy even on a Sunday, take a different avenue to 37th, then go crosstown until you hit 9th, then make a left and a quick right, you'll go down this long ramp and it'll take you right into the appropriate tube.
Traffic on 15 will be relatively light on saturday, but much heavier on 95 b/c of summer traffic. I always avoid 95, so unless there is an accident on 15, if there is traffic on 15, there is probably more traffic on 95, so you are better off staying on 15. Unless you drive into the city late at night there is always traffic - it is unavoidable.
From Vermont, I would suggest you avoid Fairfield County, CT altogether and take 91 to 84 to 684 to 15. Connecticut isn't really on the way, and it has more traffic than Westchester County...
The two roads run parallel a few miles away from each other, so I don't know how much better you can know where you are on 95. Buy a map or get google directions for peace of mind. I've sat in bumper to bumper traffic on all roads in and out of the city at all times of the day (2am on a tuesday was surprising, but...) so figure time into your schedule for it, and you might get a happy surprise with less traffic.
I grew up in a place with no traffic, so I know it's hard to accept that there is potentially stop and go traffic on every expressway. Took me much swearing at traffic to get a more zen attitude and an appreciation for NPR.
If you have an appointment that matters (like a school interview) I would plan 3-4 hours extra for worst-case senarios. If you're just going for fun, I would figure on an hour.
Like I suggested above, I take 15 to 684 to 84 to 91 when I go to Boston. Much less traffic, though next time I think I'll take the fung wah for a change...
90? Don't know what that is. I use the whitestone bridge, which turns into 15, but I live in Brooklyn. You should absolutely, 100% take the cross county to the henry husdson from rt 15.
Yes, sorry. When you said "the city" I only thought of Manhattan. duh... I never thought I would fall for that bs.
I've tuned into the thruway advisory (don't know the station - it's on signs) but I didn't find it to be to be very useful. Information isn't detailed or timely enough to be useful.

A Guru's Guide to Achieving Self Contentment This Prelim Season
So it's that time of semester–again. Only this time, tensions are high and grades are at stake. Wait. That's every prelim season. Why did you choose to put yourself through this? Are you a seeker of contentment? Are you a disciple of de-stressing yourself? Read on and find enlightenment.
5.) Binge drink:
Really, this is a fairly idiot-proof way to forget your worries and set them into your past. It acts as an aid to forgetting and abandoning the earthly shackles of memory. Do this and peace will find you.
4.) Meditation (painkillers for the soul):
You could take actual painkillers, why not? But if you do not have access to a cool prescription then meditation is the next best! Think about happy things such as ponies running in a field of flowers with no prelims to fail. Imagine that all your classes in pre-enroll had the little green circle. Think of a Utopia where you get every class you wanted and get an A in them all just by enrolling. The less actual time you spend studying, the less time you spend thinking about how unprepared you are.
3.) Reward yourself for following the law of the land and not violating academic integrity:
If you're failing, clearly you aren't cheating. That's good and professor approved. That means you're a good and honest person. It means you didn't just throw the little blue 'Academic Integrity' book into the gorge freshman year. It also means you didn't litter, double enlightenment points! In your darkest times, let that knowledge light your inner self.
2.) Fill out an application to transfer to the Hotel School:
There is a school of thought that holds that the key to contentment now is securing contentment for the future. Relinquish the desires of the present and the bonds of the past. Transfer to the hotel school and do some introspective napkin folding. You will find inner peace and a reason to not have to take that really hard math course next semester.
1.) Become a yogi:
Just drop out of Cornell, buy a ticket to India and become a yogi in the Himalayas–a wise practitioner of ancient and mystic arts. Really. It's a simpler life. An easier life. A life without soul-crushing deadlines and the ever-present feeling that you aren't good enough. If you find the Himalayas to be too much work then head to California, they have plenty of cults where you can become a superfruitarian hippy.
So, there you have it. The Black Sheep Guru has spoken. Harmonize your inner self, align your chakras, coast on that sweet sweet cultural appropriation and give in to the happiness Martha Pollack refuses to give you.

Despite the current discourses, the core of modernity that was shaped in the 19th century and resulted in the end of history, has remained unaffected. After the death of spirituality and its equations with politics, we encounter struggle for the balance of power between countries and even among local political parties. This is a struggle for ultimate power but none can achieve it. Thus there is no invincible and the most powerful where all routes end to it. One way to depict this scene is to imagine an infinite wall across our way. Going forward is prevented and going back to the ancient regime is also not the solution. 'while' is my reaction to the end of history by teasing the notion of progress and by deconstructing the reality and narration and adopt the identity and theories of modernism into a contemporary medium.

Book: In His Majesty's Service
Publisher: Riptide Publishing
Cover Artist: Lou Harper
Publication date: September 11, 2017
Length: 364 pages
"My lord."
Anders ignored the intrusion, gloved fingers tracing the lines of faded text, moving on to the next passage.
Ciebos declined to be renamed, passing on the honor of bearing the name Gloria after King Drion's first wife, she who had first proposed the Great Compromise, and she from whence peace had forever radiated. It was at Queen Gloria's tomb where the final signature was added to the Compromise and the first five-cycle rotation began . . .
He scowled, hunching his shoulders. This dialect was just old enough that translating as he went was no small feat. Still, Anders was up to the task, if only people would stop interrupting him.
The first rotation held many challenges. Laws and gods from twelve planets needed reconciling after three hundred cycles apart. It was only through the steady guidance of King Drion, he for whom our great planet is called, that those difficult cycles were navigated. King Drion was the one to establish the first Temple of the Many, and it was he who also drafted the first law of the Collective, establishing the law of succession and ensuring his line's right to the throne from that day onward . . .
"Ground Command to Lord Hawthorne, your signal's scrambled. Anders!"
Anders glanced up from the dusty pages of the ancient tome, blinking rapidly as his eyes adjusted. Bern, one of his loyal guards, cocked a blond eyebrow and gave him his best and flattest look. Anders smiled back; Bern was more bark than bite, regardless of how long he'd been trying to get Anders's attention.
"Sorry," Anders said, carefully slipping a piece of silk between the pages to mark his spot.
"Sometimes the family history can be a bit hypnotic, if obnoxiously redundant."
Bern, as ever, was entirely unmoved. "You're the one writing a book about your own genealogy," he said. "Don't even try to tell me it doesn't get you going to read about how great your ancestors were."
Anders laughed. "Maybe a little," he admitted. He lifted the tome with gentle, gloved hands, and secured it in the preservation box. There were digital copies on the network, of course, but there was something about holding a book in his hands that settled a part of Anders like nothing else. Book safely tucked away, he turned back to Bern.
"What can I do for you?" he asked. "Or did you just come in to admire my work?"
Bern huffed a laugh through his nose. "Not precisely. I wanted to let you know that Daniel is in your office and is asking to see you right away."
Daniel. Anders couldn't help the little thrill in his stomach at the thought of his friend. They hadn't spoken in weeks, and a part of Anders couldn't help wondering now if that meant their friendly arrangement of convenient sex and welcome companionship had run its course. He hoped not; it wasn't love, but he was quite fond of Daniel and had been considering possibly deepening their relationship.
They had met at the library two years earlier and had been friends ever since. The sex, a relatively recent addition, had only started when Anders had flat-out propositioned Daniel, half curious to see what his buttoned-up history-professor friend would say to a blatant come-on. It wasn't the most spectacular sex in the Collective, sure, but it was certainly better than going home alone every night without fail.
Anders smiled over his shoulder at his guard. "Why don't we call it a day? You can contact Jackson and tell him our change in schedule while I talk to Daniel, and then we can all get out of here."
"Sounds like a solid plan to me, my lord," Bern said, smoothing his close-cropped blond hair. Being a military man down to the core, just like his partner Jackson, Bern hated when it was his turn to watch over Anders at work. He also had far less patience than Jackson, so Anders was careful to take pity on him whenever possible.
Anders tidied up his workspace, wanting to have everything in its place when he came back in the morning. As much of an absentminded academic some people might think him at times, Anders strictly enforced neatness and order in his offices. It was one of the many things he'd learned from his father, though not the most important.
Finally satisfied, Anders headed down the hall. Bern trailed after him as usual, but didn't follow him into his office; fortunately for everyone's sanity, Daniel had been cleared for private interactions a long time ago.
"Daniel," Anders said warmly, the office door shutting behind him.
Daniel jumped up out of his chair and swept Anders into his arms, kissing him firmly. When Anders tried to deepen the kiss, however, Daniel pulled back. His tanned face shone bright with excitement and barely-contained happiness.
"The most amazing thing has happened, Anders," he said. "And you're the first person I want to know."
"Does this have anything to do with why you've been off the grid for three weeks?" Anders asked with a laugh, catching Daniel's hand and guiding them both to the sofa.
Daniel flushed. "I'm truly sorry about that. Time just got away from me." He outright giggled; solid, staid Daniel had giggled, and Anders blinked at him for several seconds.
"This must be one incredible story," he said at last. "So tell me, what's your fantastic news?"
"I matched!" Daniel flung himself back on the couch, arms wide as he nearly shouted. "I went to that dreadful staff party because my supervisor all but ordered me there, and I came out with my match!"
"You . . . matched?"
Daniel pulled up his sleeve to show off his soul mark, nestled in the crook of his elbow. Anders had teased him once that the plain black square was a book, a terribly unhelpful indicator of who his match would be, academia being Daniel's whole world and all.
"Jane's is on her chest." He touched his own collarbone, a distant look in his pale eyes. "I'd never have seen it if she weren't wearing a dress for the party."
Anders rubbed his own mark, hidden under a privacy patch firmly affixed to his left wrist. No one but Anders, his parents, and a very few physicians had even seen his mark. It made the possibility of matching much more remote, but it was standard practice for members of the royal family to hide their marks in order to prevent attempts at fraud. The last thing a person of Anders's standing needed was to be tricked into an unnecessary and unmatched bonding. Anders had never considered that anyone around him might do something as random as meet their match at a staff party. His chest ached, and he wasn't sure if it was disappointment or jealousy.
"And the past few weeks?" Anders prompted, because clearly he was a glutton for punishment.
"Getting to know each other and using up as much personal time as we dared." Daniel sighed happily and leaned back again. "I've never met someone I meshed with so perfectly, Anders. I get it's largely biology, complementary hormones and all that, but she makes me laugh. That's something more than science, you know? Now I understand why they call them soul marks; because we really do match, right down to our souls. Also," he added, a wicked grin spreading across his face, "the sex is unbelievable."
"Always good," Anders said quietly.
"We're bonding next week," Daniel said suddenly. "I recognize it might be a bit awkward, all things considered, but I'd really like to have you there." He sobered. "It would mean a lot to me to have my friend with us. And Jane wants to meet you."
Anders arched an eyebrow. "I take it you haven't told her how you and I spent the entire weekend of the last staff function, then?" The words were a little bitter, but Anders deserved to be a touch petty, if only for a few moments. It wasn't every day someone like him got dumped, after all.
Daniel flushed. "Not yet, no," he admitted. "Although she knows about our arrangement. She's had her own fair share of arrangements in the past too, so she's fine with knowing you and I used to . . ."
"Fuck on a semiregular basis?"
He coughed. "Yes. That."
Used to. Well, this wasn't unexpected, all things considered. It was rare that people would match and not immediately enter into an exclusive, monogamous relationship, and virtually unheard of for bonded couples to see other people. Likely it had to do with the empathic connection activated by the bonding ceremony, one that often deepened into a telepathic connection, allowing bonded matches to communicate with each other over great distances. Jackson and Bern had such a connection. It was part of why they'd been recruited right out from under the Navy and into the Royal Guard.
Still, it stung to be so summarily dismissed by a lover as a used to.
"Will you?" Daniel was asking. "Will you come?"
Anders couldn't think of anything he wanted to do less. But. "You couldn't keep me away," he said instead. Certainly he'd be able to find a solid excuse within a week.
Daniel laughed again, pulling him in for a hug. "Thank you, friend," he said in Anders's ear. "Thank you for being so understanding."
Anders returned the hug, but only for a handful of seconds. Then he gently pushed Daniel back, careful to keep his smile as close to real as possible. "Now go back to your match and let me work," he said. "I was in the middle of a particularly difficult translation before you and your love life interrupted."
With a snort, Daniel stood and snatched up his coat. "Are you sure I can't tempt you to dinner?" he asked. "Jane and I have reservations at that café you showed me. We can easily add a third."
"Tempting, but no," Anders said, manfully resisting the urge to shudder at how terrifically awkward that meal would be. "So much work, so little time."
He could have done without the look of obvious pity, but at least Daniel finally left, giving Anders a moment alone.
This wasn't a heartbreak, Anders decided. More like a bruise. Honestly, matching caused more problems for people on the periphery than the supposed benefits to the pair. Why people went so absolutely mad over finding someone with the same birthmark, Anders would never know. Besides, it wasn't as though most people didn't bond with imperfect matches. As a people, they were so spread out across the stars, it was unrealistic to wait for that one special person. From not-quite exact matches to outright mismatching, bonding had never truly been just for matches, even if it was supposedly best that way. Why, Anders's own ancestor, King Drion Ands, had bonded and buried a total of three wives in his lifetime.
Someone knocked on the doorframe, and Anders looked up to see both Jackson and Bern standing there, with identical somber expressions. Speaking of matching pairs.
"I'm fine," he said. "Daniel matched." He took a great lungful of air and released it all at once. "Maybe I should go home for a while. Spend some time with Father. He didn't seem very well in our last video call."
Their faces went more troubled. "Anders," Bern said, stepping into the room. "My lord . . ." Jackson followed him, carefully closing the door behind him.
Something similar to anxiety started brewing low in Anders's stomach. "What's wrong?"
Jackson knelt at his feet and gently took both of Anders's hands in his own meaty ones. "Your father," he said at last. "We've just received word from home."
"What about him?" The anxiety was rising up and into his throat, threatening to become full-blown hysteria.
"Anders," Jackson said, still in that gentle voice of his, "Anders, your father is dead."

Hey there blogland! Holy cow it's been awhile since I've wrote a blog post…about 7 months or so! I guess I just got kind of burned out & wanted to try to step away from being on the computer so much. I've also been trying to get some sort of focus on eating right, exercising (still having a hard time with this one) & maybe putting myself back out there after a 3yr. break to try to find myself a mister.
I have been pretty good about the eating right. For the majority of the year I was doing Jenny Craig, but I just kind of his a plateau and would lose and gain the same few pounds. So, I finally just nixed that a month or more ago…it was just kind of expensive and honestly, I was burnt out on the food because I'm a creature of habit and was eating the same select meals every week and it just got old. So I've kind of switched things up on my own and been trying to eat more of a high protein/low carb diet and I've actually started losing again. I was looking through pictures the other day from back in February of this year when my parents visited and I've actually lost about 25lbs since then. I didn't really notice a difference until seeing pics side by side. Plus, I also ordered myself a few outfits and purposely ordered a size smaller than normal kind of as a goal to get into, but to my surprise the smaller size fit already.
I really need to get into the habit of exercising again. I was doing really well for about a month and doing the treadmill everyday and getting in at least a couple miles. Sometimes, I'd even jump on for a second go of it later on in the day if I was really bored. The only reason that sidetracked me though was a pair of dress shoes that I wore for a weekend that tore the hell out of my feet, making it impossible to wear socks and tennis shoes because it was so painful and bandaids and tape didn't stick to the backs of my heals to try to get any relief, so that left me to get out of my habit. Now I just need dig down deep and find the motivation and desire to jump back in the game. It is hard though…I'm the first to admit, I hate to exercise….at least at first. I'll get there eventually though. At least I managed to get through Thanksgiving without too much of a gain!
Lets, see….what else have I been up to?? Oh yes, I have been working on a three piece painting for a friend of mine that they commissioned me to design and paint. It's Star Wars themed, so of course this brought me great joy as I'm a Star Wars geek. I tell you…I have never in my life had such a fun time painting. I was so excited with each phase, from coming up with rough sketches of possible layouts of the symbols to just getting the first coat of paint on the canvas! I even did miniature magnets of the designs first to make sure they looked just right. Hopefully, I'll be getting some more magnets done and in my Etsy shop if you're interested for a little Star Wars art for your refrigerator! Promise they look pretty bad ass! Each canvas for the large wall hanging I was working on was 12×36, so its 3ft x 3ft if you put them all together. I've had a couple of the painting done for about a month or more now, but I was having trouble getting the 3rd piece drawn to scale. It's so much easier to draw tiny than on big scale for me. But the other night, the creative bug hit about midnight and when it hits I have to jump on it, so I did some sketching…wasn't happy…took a pen and when over the pencil sketch to try to make some corrections and finally got it to look just so and then I took my exacto knife and cut myself out the stencil, so I wouldn't mess up the main canvas, as those suckers aren't cheap. Then a few hours later I was all done. A little sad that they are done & might even be sad to see them go to a new home, but I'll also be happy knowing my art work is hanging in someone else's house and that they love it.
I would be totally happy to duplicate these paintings again if anyone out there is interested. Just shoot me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit my etsy shop and put in a request for a custom piece and we'll get you going!

Even in his not-so-dark moments, Jon Clark wishes they had all died in that plane crash in West Texas.
Then they would all be together now _ he, his wife, Laurel, and their son, Iain. And the six other Columbia astronauts would still be alive.
"I've lamented about that, wishing that we had all just died because then it would have changed the course of history. They wouldn't have launched," Clark said in a telephone interview from Houston on a dreary January day that marked the anniversary of the space shuttle's doomed liftoff.
Laurel Clark _ his wife, best friend, NASA colleague and the mother of 9-year-old Iain _ was aboard Columbia when it fell from the Texas sky in pieces last Feb. 1.
Just six weeks earlier, in December, all three Clarks had plummeted from the sky over the same state in their single-engine Beech Bonanza. They were flying from their home in Houston to Albuquerque, N.M., to spend Christmas with Laurel's family.
The plane hit strong turbulence over West Texas and, for the first time ever, Laurel got air sick. Jon Clark was trying to land when the plane got caught in a downdraft. In a flash, the stall warning went off and the craft was sucked down, careered off the runway and smashed into an embankment.
The plane was damaged beyond repair. But the Clarks walked away.
Three weeks later, Iain was afraid to get on a turboprop to fly to Cape Canaveral for his mother's launch. The propellers frightened him.
The plane crash also may have exacerbated his dismay about his mother's first shuttle flight. Iain cried at the launch and badgered her for leaving every time they talked during the private family radio hookups during the mission, his father recalls.
Clark wonders whether his son had a premonition.
He says his wife traveled often, so it wasn't just the separation that bothered the child.
"There was something different about this. It is spooky," he says.
Clark has agonized over the crew's final seconds a thousand times, trying to figure out what his wife and the other astronauts may have been doing and how long they may have lived.
He wants NASA to talk openly about all the circumstances surrounding their deaths, in order to learn and benefit future space crews.
He's also insistent _ even obsessed _ that the space agency's lingering safety culture woes be addressed.
The 50-year-old Clark remains at NASA only because he feels he can better initiate change from within. Of all the Columbia astronauts' immediate family members, he is the only one who works for the space agency.
Laurel Clark's death at age 41 has brought father and son closer together and provided some precious intimate moments.
"But then we also have to contend with no mom, no wife, nobody to goof off and have fun with, camping or hiking or all of the things that we loved to do together," he says quietly.
Every so often, Iain asks his father, "Why didn't they listen to that engineer?"
He's talking about the engineer at Johnson Space Center in Houston who feared Columbia might be gravely wounded but kept silent at the mission management meeting where the topic was put to rest.
The question breaks the father's heart.
"Well, you know, honey," he gently tells Iain, "it's like at school when you don't listen to the teacher and she really knows that this is the thing you need to do to not get hurt, but you don't listen. That's kind of like what NASA is doing. They're the child that doesn't listen to somebody who might know better."

Book Review: Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell.
Using the painting metaphor set up by pastor Rob Bell in Velvet Elvis, people will see different aspects in this book as they do when viewing a painting or artwork.
In other words, there's something for everyone here. Some will hate what they see. Some will love it. Calvinists will find some solace. Social gospel-teers will find support too. Orthodox and heterodox will both be emboldened.
It all depends on one's vantage point. Or interpretation. As Bell writes: "[T]he Bible is open-ended. It has to be interpreted.... It is not possible to simply do what the Bible says." (Emphasis in original.)
From my perspective, I enjoyed the different ways Bell looks at things that have become very familiar. For example, Bell observes that the first time John mentions "love" in his gospel is John 3:16 (God giving His Son), which correlates to the first time love's mentioned in Genesis (chapter 22 recording Abraham's attempted offering of his son Isaac).
Likewise, Bell's ideas about church are idiosyncratic. He eshews any kind of "church marketing" and even wants signage removed. "You can't put a sign out front, I argued; people have to want to find us. And so there were no advertisements, no flyers, no promotions, and no signs. The thought of the word church and the word marketing in the same sentence makes me sick." (Emphases in original.)
One should approach this book with an open mind. You might discover things that you hadn't seen before in the Bible or the Church. As I did.

Guys – I hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was great! I hiked (more on that soon), went out with friends, and visited a neat bookstore in Denver's West Highlands neighborhood.
This place (West Side Books) is exactly what a little independent bookstore should be. The shelves were stacked with new, used, and rare books, with everything from dime store Westerns and romance novels to volumes about dinosaurs and presidential biographies. Their kids' section was my favorite, though: they had all the old Nancy Drew books, which were my favorite growing up.
I treated myself to a used hardcover copy of David Rakoff's Half Empty only to realize after I got home that I already own this book on my Kindle and have, in fact, read it several times. Oh well – somebody is getting a really great birthday present.
If you are ever in the Highlands, be sure to swing through!

An industry representative and an academician had expressed their reservations during the deliberations, says Srikrishna
Justice B N Srikrishna has said the committee headed by him on data protection took a 'fairly balanced' call after hearing all stakeholders, including the industry.
Some industry stakeholders have sought clarity on the issue of sharing data with third parties claiming that the committee's report did not include their inputs and a lot of grey areas had gone unaddressed.
Srikrishna said an industry representative and an academician had expressed their reservations during the deliberations.
No industry ever wants any restrictions on any of its operations and no country ever allows any industry to operate without no restrictions whatsoever.
"There was a representative of industry who vigorously advocated their viewpoints and an academician, both of whom have given their reservations.
"But, the committee has ultimately taken the call which, in my view, is fairly balanced," he told PTI.
He also said every time any legislation affecting industry was passed, concerns were raised that it would increase the cost of operations.
It it were to be true, all industries should be making losses, but on the contrary most of them were making profits.
Finally, the Data Protection Authority can always deal with marginal entities and give them suitable exemptions, Srikrishna said.
The central government had constituted the 10-member committee in July 2017 to recommend a framework for securing personal data in the increasingly digitised economy as also to address privacy concerns and build safeguards against data breaches.
The committee submitted its report to the government on July 27 suggesting steps for safeguarding personal information, defining obligations of data processors as also rights of individuals, and mooting penalties for violation.
On imposing "undue restrictions" on transferring personal data outside India by businesses, Srikrishna said it was a matter of perspective.
The panel had taken a middle path, unlike China and Russia which make localisation absolute, he added.
"There have been extreme views on this like those in China and Russia which make localisation absolute and in other countries, where cross border transfer is allowed totally without restriction. We have taken a middle path as you will see form the report and Bill," he said.
Further, the criticality of data may require absolute prohibition from cross-border transfer in some cases, he added.
"Hence, there is a leeway given that the authorities may relax restrictions on a case-by-case basis, depending on the type of data to be sent out and likelihood of any harm resulting therefrom," Srikrishna said.
A provision for maintaining a copy in the country was absolutely necessary, he said.
"If that data needs to be accessed by any authority, the matter would have to await diplomatic wrangles and acting in accordance with the law of another country.
"The answer to this dilemma would be to enter into an international instrument," Srikrishna said.
On the role of central government in the affairs of Data Protection Authority, Srikrishna said section 94 of the report had made it clear that the government had been given overriding powers in policy matters only.
"Further, if there is a situation affecting the sovereignty of the country or its friendly relations with foreign countries, obviously the central government must intervene to set things right," he said.

If you're ever in a funk that involves police in the Houston area, and they suspect you of being drunk, while driving, or even catch you in a situation where you have an opened alcoholic beverage container in the vehicle, you're in serious trouble and should consult with a defense lawyer who can help you through the ordeal.
In light of the recent violence involving citizens and police, as far as the selectively objective media is concerned, your life may depend on you remaining calm, but politely asserting your rights when dealing with law enforcement.
The following web page, http://ruismendes.com/dwi-defense-houston-lawyers/, has a number of resources available for persons who may be in need of a sharp defense attorney who can answer questions related to how to deal with such situations.
Know Your Rights!
You have the right to not participate in those silly roadside tests in addition to the right to remain silent, and avoid incriminating yourself. Regardless of the current opinion as of the current "now" moment, a smart, experienced, articulate, and charismatic criminal defense lawyer should be sought for advice if you want to be prepared for these kind of situations.
