A continued interest in fine gauge knitwear and improvements to speed up complete garment knitting are just some of the important developments that knitwear manufacturers will be looking for from V-bed knitting machinery over the current year.
The field of flat knitting machine builders continued to narrow in 2008 with Italy's Protti becoming the latest high profile casualty of an industry that, for now, continues to contract. News of the company's demise was then followed by a decision from the organisers of IKME, the international knitting and finishing machinery exhibition, scheduled to take place in Milan in November 2009, to postpone in the light of the current state of the global financial markets and the subsequent impact on the international textile market. Although the cancellation of the show may not come as too much of a surprise to some in the industry, many will be hopeful that this pledge to reschedule once the economy picks up is upheld.
Despite the apparent gloom, this has not prevented the research and development departments at the sector's remaining major players continuing to astound and amaze
with new ideas and innovations designed to advance the flat knitting industry throughout the world.
The result is a feast of new knitting technology for knitwear producers with the main technical trends highlighting a wider range of knitwear gauges with a strong emphasis on both fine and coarse gauges; wider needle-bed width for larger size products; and improved yarn feed systems.
Over the following pages, Knitting Trade Journal looks in detail at the latest of these technological developments. We then follow this up with input from some of the industry's most, well respected names as we scrutinise the market for this technology and the knitwear it produces in traditional markets such as the US and Italy and Scotland .
Elsewhere, as labour costs increase in China and the demand for exports from western countries slows, the market is shifting at the moment to finer gauge knitwear but as this is not always predictable companies are supply flat knitting solutions for every application in both traditional and complete garment methods.
Indeed, complete garment knitting has become increasingly popular as an alternative to conventional knitting in some markets. Its benefits include better fit and comfort through 3D shaping, improved draping by elimination of seams, and minimum materials usage through one-piece construction. The reduction in sewing and linking processes also results in quick-response production,
less dependence on diminishing skilled labour sources, and of course, savings in labour costs
For some, this technology can be regarded as the ideal solution to the ongoing problems facing knitting companies in areas such as the EU, the United States and Japan where knitwear manufacturers are finding it more and more difficult to survive under the onslaught of inexpensive imports from Asia.
However, advancements in the more traditional knitting methods also abound and this feature offers a detailed round-up of what each of the major machine builders have on offer.
To make matters worse, the government has so far failed to come up with any initiatives aimed at stemming the flood of apparel production operations moving out of China to neighbouring countries. Further highlighting the seriousness of the problem for China is the news that India, a major competitor for China in terms of apparel production, buoyed by the success of a seven-year modernisation program, is to extend the scheme for a further five years.
Renowned for its circular knitting machine technology, Taiwan's Pai Lung has embarked on a new chapter in its history with the launch of the PLF-KS 132, its first computerised flat knitting machine.
Pai Lung says it was inspired to enter the flat knitting market after requests from a number of its clients. "Why not enter the flat knitting market," says James Wang, Pai Lung's President. "After several year of efforts, our tried and trusted technique and design capability has surpassed all of our expectations. Combined with our proven circular knitting machine technology, the PLF-KS 132 means our clients are now able to efficiently produce a variety of products that will both broaden their service range and boost their production capabilities.
"The Pai Lung PLF-KS 132, which can be handled by a single operative conducting the equivalent of six operators, removes all boundaries for knitting fabrics" .
The PLF-KS 132 has been deemed particularly suitable for markets such as China where there is a growing market for highly productive flat knitting machines. The
machine is based on the same design concept as the company's circular knitting machines containing a built-in centre production management and control system that is able to collect extremely precise levels of data for users. It is also equipped with PLC and a communication interface and as such is able to connect to Pai Lung's on-line monitoring system, which provides electronic yarn rate monitoring and tape speed control.
The PLF-KS 132 is also equipped with the highest quality cam and needle cylinder components which, says Pai Lung, guarantees optimum functioning levels and durability.
According to the company, the PLF-KS 132 also features the highest quality contra-sinker, pull down device, loop presser bed, split transfer jack bed and yarn carrier kickback device,all of which contribute to high production levels. " The system achieves the All-fashion and best quality' idea while knitting a variety of gauges ranging from tighter, fine-gauge fabrics to more breathable, lower gauge fabrics," says the company.

John McQuaig Earns MBA With Honors
Wenatchee, Wash., April 21st, 2011 – John McQuaig recently earned his MBA from the Ken Blanchard Executive MBA program at Grand Canyon University. The intensive 13 month long program, based in Phoenix Arizona, specializes in servant leadership. The Executive MBA program was founded by Ken Blanchard and he is a teacher in the residency portion of the program. He is the distinguished author of "The One Minute Manager" among fifty other business titles.
John McQuaig was honored as the co-valedictorian of his class. He noted:
"The Executive MBA program has broadened my experience such that I can take a wider view when helping my clients set their plans for the future. I now have a much broader base of knowledge to work from."
About John McQuaig
John founded McQuaig and Welk in 1978. He has been extensively involved in serving the North Central Washington business community since then. Prior to establishing McQuaig & Welk he was with Ernst and Ernst (now Ernst and Young) as an auditor. He serves as CEO of McQuaig and Welk, PLLC and directs the consulting practice as a Certified Management Consultant (CMC).
He is also the founder and chairman of the board of North Cascades National Bank; a $325 million community bank headquartered in Chelan, Washington. He is also an owner of Key Methods, LLC, an IT support and software company in Wenatchee, WA..
Is the United States Losing its Entrepreneurial Edge?
As I have travelled the world the last year I have been struck more than once by the fact that many other countries seem to exhibit a much hungrier, edgier entrepreneurship than we now see in the United States. Maybe we have gotten complacent and comfortable with our style of entrepreneurship. It strikes me that it is a much more centralized, corporate led brand of entrepreneurship than I have seen elsewhere. I wrote previously of the retail environment in Egypt where it seemed everyone wanted to serve the tourist industry. I experienced the same in Turkey where everyone was a salesperson selling whatever was available.
I have spent the last month in Buenos Aires and I am seeing the same type of capitalism exhibited in Argentina. In the retail sector, for example there are no large department stores. The retail is highly decentralized and spread throughout the city at street level. There certainly are a few stores of corporate type ownership with multiple locations but largely the retail seems to be Mom and Pop type stores that occupy their 4-6 meters of street frontage and sell clothing, shoes and all manner of retail goods.
Buenos Aries, a city of 13 million people has many of the type shops that design and produce their own goods. An excellent example is 2S doble sentido, a women's shoe and accessory store that produces one of a kind shoes and jewelry for women. They sell them out of their single location on Paraguay Street. They occupy a 5-meter storefront and the production is done in the basement. I have attached pictures of the shop and some of the stock. The shoes are very artsy and colorful and really unlike any I had seen elsewhere. I talked to the owner and he told me they had been in business for eight years. The first four were spent making shoes in there home and selling them at arts and craft fairs throughout the city. For the last four years, they have occupied the Paraguay St location.
Many other stores do the same type thing only different type products. They produce clothing, shoes on a totally custom basis.
In my mind, that is a very edgy, risky form of entrepreneurship. The business owner needs to be able to do all things, assess customer demand and needs, manage and maybe do production, sales and marketing.
The type of entrepreneurship we now exercise in the USA seems quite a bit more controlled and less risky. Corporations following a formula that has been proven elsewhere undertake a lot of growth. Consider GAP, Old Navy, Applebee's, Nordstrom… they have all developed common products and systems and duplicated them throughout the country.
Have we gotten lazy and risk averse in the good old capitalistic USA? Is this just a natural maturation process? Will countries like Argentina and Turkey find that their business interests will consolidate and centralize as their economies mature? That is a definite possibility for a developing country like Turkey but it is harder to consider Argentina an underdeveloped country. It has a much more mature economy than Turkey and capitalism has been practiced there for a long time.
Another example of this trend in Argentina is the restaurant industry. Other than the ever-present McDonalds and Burger Kings, there is very few chain or corporate restaurants. Yet on every block, there are cafes, pizza joints, parillas (Argentinean beef restaurants) and all other manner of eating establishments. There does not seem to be a need for formulaic, franchised restaurants like those that we see in the states. Again, this seems to be a much riskier type of capitalism.
As I write this, I am on a 17-hour bus to Port Iguazu. Iguazu Falls is the largest falls in South America and is a major tourist attraction. This leads to my final example of Argentinean entrepreneurship- the bus lines… There are 162 bus companies in Argentina! Retiro bus station in Buenos Aries is four city blocks long and has over 150 bus parking places. Buses leave there for all parts of South America. Competition has done an interesting thing. The bus companies offer all manner of services and service levels. You can choose from a cama, semi-cama and full cama service. Full cama is a first class service with hot meals, drinks and a seat that reclines fully into a bed. I was even given a bottle of trademark Malbec Argentinean wine to go with my dinner. I got great nights sleep while I traversed the country.
It seems the good old USA would be ripe for this kind of service. Yet, I think we still have two bus companies that offer the same thing- slightly reclining seats with no meal service. Where are the entrepreneurs on that one?
So, are we losing our entrepreneurial edge? Are we getting lazy and losing the creative entrepreneurship that built our country? If we are, what does it mean in the long run? I do not have the answers to these questions, I am just posing them but they are worth pondering. One hundred sixty two bus companies, that's right, one hundred sixty two…competing in the same station…all manner of decorated buses, wild colors, whitewall tires, fully reclining seats… think about it…that's competition, that's entrepreneurship!.
Old-fashioned networking still rules in electronic times
Despite the benefits of online contact any time, from anywhere, personal interaction is as good for business now as it was 20 years ago.
In the world away from your desktop, your competitors are shaking hands with your potential customers over lunch or a laugh right now. What are you waiting for? Get out of the office and network.
Making personal business connections may take longer, but they are potentially as important as driving Web traffic and planning your advertising campaigns. For relatively little expense, seeking industry events and other face-to-face business opportunities should form an equal part of your marketing strategy.
When business is slow, mass marketing or e-mail marketing your existing clients seems the obvious low-cost option to generate sales, but forging personal networks with face-to-face contact brings a unique set of advantages. In addition, there is no 'delete' key.
Networking builds trust
The important thing missing from electronic contact is the real connection that creates genuine trust.
The advantage good networkers enjoy is access to more private or useful knowledge only available through personal contact. Filing unmanageable amounts of downloaded documents or exchanging e-mails is no replacement for conversations that spill over into further mutual contacts and unexpected opportunities.
Meeting with people also brings different skill sets to a business relationship. Online, you tend to stick to one topic or problem. Where a gathering incorporates socializing, common interests outside business tend to crop up, too, leading to wider networks and experiences.
In person, you are also more likely to discover how someone's organization works. The more 'flat' management structure of businesses today means that the 'say' in decision-making is spread widely among managers and employees. You could be chatting with one of the company's key influencers, regardless of their title. The way information flows through a company is an example of the important detail you may learn from a real conversation that is unlikely to come up otherwise.
For potential clients, time spent seeking quotes and meeting new suppliers might be happily avoided by using a personal contact met through networking. If you made a good impression in a semi-social setting, you might simply get the order or at least a chance to quote along with a current supplier.
Consider taking staff along to networking functions or sending them to represent you if you cannot attend. This will boost employee engagement, particularly in uncertain times when spending cutbacks are threatening morale and motivation.
Types of networking
Depending on your industry and your business' stage of development, there are events of all sizes and costs where you can meet peers, suppliers, potential customers or neighboring companies.
Chambers of commerce, local governments, community and industry groups are in the business of connecting small business operators. They welcome new members and participants for speaking, presenting workshops or sponsorship. There are niche events for women only, for small business and for new businesses. Trade shows often have after-hours events attached designed for networking.
In the Wenatchee area the chamber, the North Central Home Builders Association and GWATA sponsor networking sessions that are designed to foster relationships.
Tips for successful networking
Once you have identified the best networking opportunities for your available time, make the most of them:
◦Be organized; arrive on time and take lots of business cards. Keep a positive attitude about the event and an open mind about the people you meet.
◦If you're nervous, focus on an outcome to suit your comfort level. Simply aim to "approach three strangers for a conversation," or "meet the keynote speaker" or have a similar goal that makes attendance worthwhile.
◦Smile, look people in the eye and give a firm handshake. Give your complete attention, use people's names and note special information on their business card for future reference
◦Listen. Switch off your phone and be 'present.' Ask questions. You never know where a conversation will lead or whom other people may know.
◦Have a sentence or two ready, describing your business, tailored with the listener in mind — ideally framed as a problem of theirs that you can solve. Do not just list off your services or latest achievements. This is known as your "elevator speech" and it should be memorized and at the ready at any time.
◦Make a note of how people prefer to be contacted. Some welcome phone calls over email; for others, only social networking like Twitter will get their attention.
◦Don't 'oversell'. Pressing business cards on people before moving on to new 'targets' is a turn-off. Save the sales pitch for a follow-up meeting.
◦If you promise to forward information or put a new acquaintance in contact with someone, do it right away. You'll be remembered for being reliable — priceless.
In today's fast paced world that is dominated by electronic communication mediums there is still no substitute for good old-fashioned networking when it comes to creating lasting profitable relationships. Turn off Face Book for an evening, get out, and meet some people!.
Back in the (former) USSR!
If you follow my blog, (OK, with the economic crisis some of you haven't got all that much to do so why not follow John's blog!) you will recall that last year as part of my sabbatical my family and I lived in Klaipeda, Lithuania while I taught at LCC International University www.lcc.lt as a visiting Professor.
The University offered to double my wages if I came back again and taught a class this fall. (Two times zero is still zero:), pay your own expenses, heck of a deal, it's a mission right!)
I returned September 1st for 3 weeks to teach the Glo-Bus online business simulation class I taught last year. Sixty-seven students from the school are participating in the online business competition as part of 16 teams. Check it out at www.glo-bus.com.
The class will continue online with me coaching the teams online via Skype and Go to Meeting until the second week of December. Last year we had two teams in the top 50 in the world out of about 2500 teams competing. It is an exciting and dynamic program.
I did find some time for travel while I was in Klaipeda. I spent a long weekend in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It is a port city about 60 kilometers South of Helsinki, Finland. I hooked up with an Aussie tour guide, Andrew. (estadventures.ee) He offered what he called Soviet Experience tours. I took three of his tours.
The first was a walking tour of Tallinn that highlighted soviet architecture and sights. One of the most interesting was a vacant field in the back of the Estonian National Museum. We ignored the entrance to the museum and went around the back to find a boneyard of Soviet statues, Lenin, workers, etc.
It was quite the scene. Apparently, the Estonians do not quite know what to do with this stuff. Twenty-five percent of the population is Russian and is offended if relics like this are destroyed… There is talk of plans for some kind of sculpture park but nobody is in a rush to do anything.
Speaking of rush…not Limbaugh, the next Soviet experience tour took me to Paldiski, the former Red navy base. When the Soviets decided to build the navy base at Paldiski and house nuclear submarines there, they were in a rush to hide that fact from the western world. Someone in the Kremlin came up with the brilliant idea of removing Paldiski from the maps. This would render this town of 16,000 that sits right on the Baltic Sea south of Helsinki with nuclear subs cruising in and out of it all day non-existent, right?
Sounds like the propaganda machine www.spacecadets.com was smoking something weird that day! I am sure the CIA www.redbusters.com was trying to figure out what was wrong with their spy satellite that kept showing this port city in photos when it was no longer on the maps.
So why is an Aussie history buff the one offering Soviet tours in Estonia? He says the Estonians don't think the Soviet history is at all interesting. They cannot imagine why a tourist would pay to see this stuff. To me, a child of the Cold War era it is fascinating to see what was going on behind the iron curtain. To each his own, I guess…
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the US
Back in the US
Back in the USSR
To be continued….

AceShowbiz - P. Diddy has officially released four members of Danity Kane, Aubrey O'Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex and Aundrea Fimbres, from a contract with his label Bad Bay Records. He let the four girls go on their own way.
O'Day and Woods have been fired back in October 2008, while Bex walked out of the group on her own when she didn't show up with the group's remaining members on the set of "Making the Band" in January this year. And, Diddy emphasized their exit during MTV's "Making the Band 4: The Final Chapter", adding that Fimbres was also out of the group.
Fimbres was kicked off from Danity Kane because "there is so many times [she] want to give up, want to quit," so Diddy said. With the withdrawal of O'Day, Woods, Bex and Fimbres, it means that Dawn Richard is the only remaining member of the popular girl group.
Diddy said Richard will still become Bad Boy Records' artist, but this time as a solo singer. He will make music with her and stated that if there is a chance for Danity Kane to reform, she will be the only remaining member in it.
"Making the Band 4: The Final Chapter" is divided into two parts. The first part, which announced Fimbres' exit, was aired on April 16 on MTV and attended only by Aundrea Fimbres and Dawn Richard. Meanwhile, the other part will be broadcast on April 23 on the same channel.

"Never believe anything you see on Halloween." - Reverend M. Goodman, October 31, 1985
REVIEW: Thirteen Years Later is amusing enough... for a Castle episode. But is it Millennium? The show is already straining to find its third season legs, and we get an offbeat comedy episode that exists just outside canon. Not sure that's a good idea. The eventual twist will justify all the liberties taken with the material, but as you watch it, everything seems a little off. Emma keeps calling Frank "Mr. Black". Frank himself spouts strange cop clichés. Guest characters are Hollywood caricatures. And for an episode that keeps moaning about how Hollywood isn't real compared to real cop heroics, it sure doesn't know how things are filmed either. This is a movie set as dumbed down in a movie. The KISS appearance is meant to be irrelevant, but then why is Frank flashing to their faces all the time? Yes, that ridiculousness is due to the way the story is told by a postmodern unreliable narrator, but going on the previous four episodes, they're mistakes the Season 3 crew might well have made.
Director Thomas Wright has a lot of fun with it, recreating shots from well-known horror films, starting with Psycho's shower scene. Tapping into the humor, he breaks format even more by still-framing the suspects and dropping graphics on the screen. The show's trademark act-starting drum beats are used on the actor playing Frank almost diagetically. It's fun. I just wish the Hollywood irreality had been enough for the script. If the characters had been themselves and not some figment of a madman's imagination, it would have kept its meta feel, and perhaps had something to say about fictionalized police work. And we could have kept Frank "gonging" horror movie after horror movie because the characters' motivations were ludicrous or plain. But none of it happened.
The way Emma makes Frank watch all those movies actually seems to say something about this third season. He's not interested in horror films, but she compares the murders to Millennium's pilot (eeech, don't compare yourself with some of the best of the show!), where he studied French poetry to get into the Frenchman's mind. Wouldn't you research this too? What I read from this is a move from the literate and, to some, pretentious, to the shlocky and mainstream. The show is now trying to appear to a lower common denominator and in the process, has lost what made it intriguing. Did scriptwriter Michael Perry mean to say this? Regardless, he did, and to an audience trained by previous seasons to read subtext.
REWATCHABILITY: Medium - An amusing and well-shot episode where the audience gets "trolled", but the silliness doesn't really fit the program.

How SOS Alarm applied a structured process to their hackathon
At the award event that concluded the SOS Alarm hackathon, CEO Maria Khorsand announced that the company would move forward with all five concepts presented instead of just the winning team's concept (which was the original plan). When was the last time you were at a hackathon where top management cared about the ideas presented and had an internal system in place to take care of them? What is the story behind this remarkable result?
Using the hackathon format to strengthen your brand and execute on Innovation Strategy
In the fall of 2017, Swedish emergency service operator SOS Alarm decided to run a hackathon to generate ideas for future service offerings. The internal innovation teams wanted input on questions like:
- How will an emergency call be handled in the future?
- Will a call always be a call, or will technology enable better solutions?
- How can we design a smart smoke detector?
- How can we save more lives with the help of new technology?
The hackathon was part of a larger initiative with the goal of establishing innovation as a habit within the SOS Alarm organization. Like many companies today, SOS Alarm has a hard time finding employees with the right combination of competence and talent. In order to strengthen their employer brand, the company decided to invite students to take part in the hackathon. This approach had two advantages: it fostered a bond between the company and top Swedish technology universities, and the students' new perspectives contributed greatly to finding answers to the questions mentioned above.

A structured process leads to better results
When planning a hackathon, there are many parameters to consider in order to make it successful. This is the process SOS Alarm and Innovation360 crafted together in order to fulfill SOS Alarm's goals with the initiative.
Finding a sponsor
Scope, goals, and desired outcome for the hackathon was anchored and decided on an executive level, aligning with SOS Alarm's overall innovation strategy. This is a crucial step in assuring a clear return on investment for the organization.

Planning logistics, catering, and venue to foster creativity
A small planning group was created to figure out details such as scope, optimal dates, venue, guest list, invitations, catering, traveling, accommodations, and the actual agenda. Divide and conquer is the way to move fast.
The off-site location helped the teams focus, network, and dive into the challenges without distractions
Outreach and invitations to find a diverse group of participants
SOS Alarm's communications team made sure that the information about the organization and the event was inclusive and aligned with the company's values. The goal with this step was to encourage aspiring participants to apply. The invitation website was created with the platform Confetti and shared on several channels to get the word out. Making some noise on social media later helped get Swedish IT magazine IDG to cover the event (link).

Positioning SOS Alarm as an innovator by collecting insights from their ecosystem
During hackathons, participants often fall in love with one idea early in the process. It might be a great idea, but it also might have little or no validation with the intended user group. To make the innovation process customer-centric and driven by real needs, an open ideation campaign was set up using the ideation360 platform. An iFrame was integrated into a blog post with relevant data points, open questions, and an invitation to submit ideas. The blog post was shared with doctors, firefighters, ambulance staff, and SOS Alarm customers. Take a look at the blog post with the iFrame here. The hackathon teams received the insights as an input for their ideation session at the event. This way of working with your ecosystem has several benefits:
- It positions the organization as open and innovative.
- Customers and partners feel invited into the process.
- The ideas generated in the hackathon meet real customer needs and thus provide a better business opportunity.
- It challenges the team's perspectives in ways that might not have been possible in a closed ideation.
Fostering an innovation culture at SOS Alarm by ideating with the organization
An internal ideation campaign was set up in order to capture ideas from the organization and make the hackathon inclusive to employees who did not participate. In this way, the organizers were able to source great ideas from all of SOS Alarm as a complementary input to the open ideation with the ecosystem.

The agenda
The hackathon started Saturday morning and ended Sunday afternoon. The teams were free to spend their time as they wanted, but for those who wanted support, Coaches from Innovation360 provided guidance and a structure for how to follow the innovation process. All teams decided to follow the process and used the tools, methods, and frameworks available in each phase (discovery, ideation, selection, development, and commercialization). Because participants didn't jump right into executing the first idea that someone came up with, the quality and relevance of the final ideas were much greater.

The pitch
Sunday afternoon arrived, and the jury took their seats to listen to the five teams pitching their final ideas. They all did great! As a coach, you are very proud when all ideas are backed up by well-formed hypotheses and data from experiments. According to the jury, all teams arrived at interesting findings and concepts, so they made the decision to move all ideas forward in the process.
The team from Linköping University pitching their idea using LEGO prototypes
To give you a glimpse of the progress at the time of writing:
- One prototype is being developed as a proof of concept that could save SOS Alarm both money and time.
- One concept is being run through hypothesis-testing to evaluate the potential need, value, credibility, and solution.
- Three out of five teams have agreed to some form of collaboration to further test their ideas and potentially implement them.
Why was this approach to a hackathon successful?
"Intensive but very fun and inspiring. Amazing how much can be achieved in a short period of time.
SOS seems like a company to work for in the future."
—Participating student
"Working with students in a hackathon format is extremely rewarding for us.
They are fast, innovative, and challenge assumptions we've always taken for granted."
—Mattias Hindfelt, CIO at SOS Alarm
Could we foresee this result? To a large extent, yes!
- We followed a process and trusted the process, and the process did not let us down.
- We received support and attention from top management by aligning the theme of the hackathon with prioritized strategic initiatives within the innovation strategy.
- The time constraint and off-site location helped teams and internal staff focus on the challenges and stay committed to run the extra mile.
- By collecting insights from the ecosystem prior to the hackathon, the teams were off to a flying start.
- The ideas were developed by students with diverse backgrounds, which created new insights that could be grounded on-site by SOS Alarm staff.
- Having innovation coaches support the teams allowed the ideas to be pushed further and stretched to the boundaries of creativity.

In summary, the SOS Alarm hackathon was a great example of how powerful this format can be when you have a dedicated organization willing to go the extra mile to get all the components in place. Thank you for letting us be your partner in this! It is not every weekend that you get to be part of innovations that have the potential to separate life from death. You can view a recap video of the event here.

BJP MLA blurts out party has alliance with NCP in assembly
Senior leaders may deny an alliance with NCP, but MLA Narendra Mehta allegedly declared that both parties are aligned, in the house of the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders may continue to deny there is an alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), but the declaration of a BJP MLA has put many of the senior party leaders in a spot of bother.
BJP MLA Narendra Mehta allegedly said 'Ma'am, let us speak now. Anyhow, you have an alliance with us in the state'
While Amit Shah, national president of the BJP, did not comment on an alliance with the NCP in Aurangabad on Saturday, MLA Narendra Mehta from Mira-Bhayander allegedly announced in the house of the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation that the NCP has supported the BJP.
This put the BJP in the soup, and many senior leaders have been receiving calls from various corners since Saturday, asking how an MLA, and a strongman of the party in the area, could say such a thing so lightly.
The incident occurred as Mehta's colleagues wanted Mayor Caitlin Pereira (of NCP) to felicitate him for winning the assembly election, in the house of the corporation. Pereira refused to felicitate him saying that no prior notice was given to her about this. To this Mehta allegedly said, 'Upar toh support kiya hai, yahan par kya problem hai? (You have supported us in the assembly, what is the issue here?)'
Senior leaders have been saying that BJP hasn't and will not take NCP's support. The Mayor confirmed that Mehta said this in the house, and said, "He did say that upar (assembly) support kiya hai. It's true that the CM got the seat because of our support, but these are two different places. I have no issues felicitating Mehta, but then there should have been a letter to the Mayor's office and the municipal secretary saying this. I wasn't prepared to felicitate him.
Also, when Mehta was Mayor, he never felicitated then MLA Gilbert Mendonca or MLC Muzzafar Hussain." Mendonca happens to be Pereira's father.
A Shiv Sena member who was present in the hall claimed there was a lot of commotion by the BJP and NCP. "The BJP was demanding that their leader be felicitated, and the NCP wasn't accepting it. In this commotion, we heard Mehta say to the Mayor, 'Ma'am, let us speak now. Anyhow, you have an alliance with us in the state'," said the Sena leader.
He added, "This proves that the BJP and NCP are partners and the BJP has taken the support of NCP, which we have been trying to say for the longest time. Now their leader has said this openly."
The BJP's local wing from Mira Bhayander, is trying to brush aside the comments as "not serious".
A senior functionary from BJP's local unit claimed, "Our leader did say to the Mayor something like BJP and NCP are now an alliance, but it was on a lighter note. There's nothing much to read into this."
In spite of repeated attempts, Narendra Mehta didn't respond to our calls or messages.

The theme aimed at answering new questions that appear at the beginning of the XXI century. It dealt with spirituality as a dimension of the living reality, with the following question: is spirituality a dimension of biology? Also, the need for the recognition of our interiority to be human and live a fully human life in the face of the abduction of the same by our Western civilization was affirmed.
The Josefa Segovia Chair, in this conference, challenged us to discern the present times, study trends in the field of spirituality and think of how to integrate these new approaches into Christian spirituality, in dialogue with other spiritualties. Thus, the various sessions that were part of this seventh conference were scheduled:
Dr. Ramón Mª. Nogués Carulla, in his keynote, "Spirituality and Religions: A Creative Disagreement", spoke of spirituality from an anthropological-biological perspective.
Next, Dr. José Antonio Pagola Elorza gave his talk on "The hour of truth. Towards an inner renewal of our Christianity."
In the afternoon, Dr. Francisco Javier Sancho Fermín addressed the topic of spirituality from a theological perspective with his talk titled "Enter into yourself." This theological perspective was complemented by Dr. Carmen Aparicio Valls, who spoke on "The spirituality of incarnation in a changing world."
On Saturday evening, singer Julia León offered a recital, "through the soul paths in different cultures," with which she presented another form of spirituality: aesthetics, through dance, music and singing. She was accompanied by Iñaki Aguirre and dancer Geliah.
The conference concluded on Sunday morning with a roundtable, chaired by Inmaculada González Villa. The speakers were experts on various spiritualties: Esther Bendaham, Judaism; Jaume Flaquer, Islam; Karma Tenpa and Lucas Burgueño, Buddhism; and Camino Cañón, non-religious spirituality.

That life is full of ups and downs is something we all know. It does not matter that you are, how much money you have, or where in the world you are; living negative experiences and unpleasant situations can touch us all. In this article, we have tips for having a positive attitude to life.
1. Focus on everything you can control
It is impossible to have everything under control. We cannot change the things we cannot control. So no matter how much you distress, the result will remain the same. Do not waste energy and effort on things that produce you. Just live and enjoy the present, you're here and now and tomorrow, tomorrow will be seen.
2. Change of mindset
Each and every situation that you live, even the worst, teaches you something. To be stronger, to know that in that way you have tried it does not go well, to love you more. Everything teaches, everything influences, and you are the one who will decide what learning to draw from that experience.
The experiences are really neutral; we are the ones who put the emotional connotation. We are the ones who make them meaningful. And to you, how is the glass, half full or half empty.
3. Increase your self-esteem
We've all been wrong ever. We have had hard days and times, even things we are not proud of. And I tell you: yes, it's true, so what? Do not ignore that pain; do not ignore that frustration that you feel towards you.
Stand up and ask yourself what and how you can do to improve and get to it without hesitation. Stop criticizing yourself constantly. Be kind and understanding when faced with personal mistakes. We all err, and as you have read before, everything is learned. The only man who does not make a mistake is the one who never does anything.
4. Seek support whenever you need it
It is not fair that you suffer in silence. Seeking support from your family and friends will not only help you better cope, but relationships with them will also be strengthened. Just sharing it will help you, do it and you'll see how you notice it.
5. Everything happens
The only constant in life changes. And like everything, negative and unpleasant situations also happen. What you must do is to keep all the positive and useful of that unpleasant situation (a lesson learned, a test of your capacity for recovery and adaptation) and know how to deal with it so you never forget that even the worst moments also have an end.
Bad experiences are opportunities that give us life to demonstrate that each day we can overcome ourselves and the challenges that pose us. Get up. Get dressed and get out there. Show the world that you value your life, and you will fight to squeeze it to the maximum.

Sai Council assists Muslim residents in setting up surau
The Rakyat Post recently featured a story on the Sathya Sai Baba Central Council of Malaysia's initiative to set up a surau for muslims at D' Pinggiran Kota, Lukut. Here is the full story
In a spirit to promote unity among religions and races, a non-Muslim non-governmental organisation (NGO) recently assisted the Muslim community to set up a temporary surau.
The Sri Sathya Sai Central Council of Malaysia recently assisted the residents of D' Pinggiran Kota, Lukut, here, by setting up a temporary surau in the flats to make it easier for Muslim residents to conduct their daily prayers. Speaking to The Rakyat Post, its president, Dr Suresh Govind, said the NGO found out about the community's plight after conducting free tuition lessons at the residential area.
"The Muslim residents here have to travel far to conduct their prayers and their Quran classes. Seeing that this was a burden to many, we felt that as Malaysians we should be doing something good and positive to help the community."
The surau was then set up after the NGO consulted with the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Department and the residents of the flats here.
"A committee consisting of the village head, imam and residents of the flats was formed to ensure that plans to set up the surau went smoothly."
He said the department had also given the green light for the NGO to set up the surau. The imam of the surau, Ahmad Kamal Jaelani, was thrilled with the setting up of the surau and said more such unity among the various races should be expressed and promoted.
"There should be a need for an understanding among races," Ahmad said.
"Whoever it is who needs help, irregardless of race, background, creed or religion, should be assisted because doing good is something that is constantly spoken of in all religions."
Ahmad said the temporary surau would serve as a makeshift prayer location as well as a place for Quran classes to be held. He added that plans for a permanent surau were in the pipeline and expected to be completed in two years.
"I'm glad that the NGO looked into our plight and assisted us. At least now we have a temporary location to remind ourselves of God," Ahmad said.
The surau was officiated by Utusan Group's chief editor Mohd Noordin Abbas, who lauded the move by the NGO.
"Utusan would try to seek out such NGOs to promote the spirit of unity among Malaysians and expose their goodwill through our papers." Noordin said during his launching speech.
Present during the opening ceremony was Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) deputy president Jufitri Joha.

(Pocket-lint) - Acer has announced a new version of the Spin 11 Chromebook for 2018 that can run Android apps and be used in four different modes. The Spin 11 has a hinge, so it's effectively a hybrid, meaning it can be used in laptop, tablet, tent and stand modes, compared to the regular Chromebook 11 which is strictly a laptop.
You get two USB-C ports with the Spin 11, both of which can be used to charge it up, or to connect external devices and monitors. You also get two USB 3.0 Type A ports and Acer also promises an "all-day battery life".
The Spin 11 is equipped with an 11.6-inch touchscreen display, just like its Chromebook 11 sibling, and it's capable of supporting input from a stylus. Acer gives the option of speccing the Spin 11 with a Wacom stylus.
An HD webcam can be found above the keyboard, which has a wide-angle lens so it can be used video conferences and Google Hangouts, while a second camera on the cover can take pictures and videos when you're using the Spin 11 in tablet mode.
In addition to the four USB ports (two Type-C, two Type-A) the Acer Chromebook Spin 11 also offers a MicroSD card slot, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2.
Acer offers the Spin 11 with a range of processors, depending on your needs. You can spec it with a quad-core N4200 Intel Pentium processor, Intel Celeron N3450 quad-core processor or an Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core processor. It can also be specced with either 4GB or 8GB of RAM and either 32GB or 64GB of storage.
The biggest selling point of the Chromebook Spin 11 though is it's ability to run full Android apps from the Play Store. If you already have a Google account, you can easily sign in to access your Gmail account, Drive cloud storage and any apps you have on an Android smartphone.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 11 will be available from April, with prices starting at €379. Exact prices for various regions will be confirmed nearer launch.
