The Global Charter of Conscience was launched at the European Parliament in Brussels in June 2012. It was largely drafted by Christian writer Os Guinness but it is not a Christian project per se. It is aimed at the good of all and has had wide support. The early drafts were reviewed by more than fifty academic experts from perspectives such as law, religion, and politics. Their religious backgrounds were similarly diverse. At the launch, Dr. Heiner Bielefelt, the UN Rapporteur on Religious Freedom, gave a passionate speech in support.

Domi Mora (Spain)
Alt Art Space
“Alison and Peter Smithson had described the [Barcelona] Pavilion as having the presence of the ‘primitive’ underlying it, with a sense of caves embedded in the travertine, for example. [We] asked Domi Mora… to investigate the ‘primitive’ in the marble of the Pavilion. To [our] surprise, Mora photographed not only many ‘caves’ in the travertine but ancient, primitive or futuristic figures mirrored in the marble which usually are not perceived by the visitor… They remind the presence of unforeseen beings inhabiting the architecture, beyond the abstract architectural concept. Some of the images are like the blots of Rorschach tests, delving into the capacity of the brain to find figures. The Pavilion is never empty. Its smooth polished abstract surfaces are home to many creatures from the deep past and the deep future.” –BT
Mies Blotches is a photographic series by anthropologist, photographer, professor and writer Domi Mora. Commissioned by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue in 1997 for an exhibition, the series presents close-ups of the marbles at the Barcelona Pavilion designed by Mies van der Rohe, inside the Pavilion. The photographs demand the active participation of the viewer, as upon closer inspection they reveal a whole population of primitive-looking figures and animals, or even aliens.

Yes, actually, you do. Just a little. Mostly around the eyes.:p
Definitely the cookie dough in the tube is yummier.
Cookie: Thanks! Thanks a lot. :)Tuppence: Good. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed a difference.
If I don't make cookies from scratch, I'll usually use the bricks because they're the most convenient - practically instant. But yeah, they are kind of short on flavor.
Bricks or tube doesn't matter, both taste good as dough right out of the package.
Florinda: I have made them from scratch, but it's too hard right now. The kids would like to help, but so would Quincy. :) I don't understand why the bricks taste different. Jenn: You'll get salmonella! :)
I'm not a big fan of sweets and haven't made cookies in who know how long so, I couldn't tell you. I did have cookie dough Ice Cream a few months ago that was pretty good. :)
DC: Cookie dough ice cream is very good. No doubt about that.

Thank you all for your interesting suggestions and your taking part in the Name My Car poll.
The winning entry is fitting in so many words. Obviously, the car is white. I have an obsession with zombies. And I have recurring, intense, deviant fantasies about Rob Zombie at least once a week. So it works all around.
I'm very, very happy with the results. So happy that I'm going to get a license plate holder that says White Zombie and perhaps I'll try for some vanity plates. And every morning, I will play Thunderkiss '65 on my way to work.
(Thanks to Fred's comment)

The 1920's era Tudor building is located at Warsaw, St. Lawrence and Enright avenues was teh site of a huge fire .
The three alarm fire hit the 3 story building and was considered a likely complete loss. The Price Hill Historic Society which is located behind the structure was evacuated but that building was untouched.
Several people were displaced by the fire and everyone escaped. The building is a major anchor to that area and its unclear what its loss will mean to ongoing revitalization efforts.

Two local high schoolers will wake up Monday morning not only as graduates, but also $2,017 richer.
The annual Safe Grad event, which provides a graduation celebration free of drugs, alcohol and tobacco on graduation night, always gives out a grand cash prize at the end of the night. This year, it’s giving out two of them at the very end of the night, encouraging graduates to stay for the full time.
The event, which runs from 10 p.m.-2:17 a.m. from Sunday night to Monday morning, takes place at Centennial Hall and has games, prizes and more for graduates from local high schools and home-schooling programs.
The event is nearly 30 years into its existence, but local organizations are still donating money fervently. Nancy Courtney, a parent volunteer in charge of public relations for the event, said more than $40,000 has come in for the event in donations.
“It’s amazing,” Courtney said. “These people are giving year after year.”
Close to 400 seniors will be graduating from the three high schools and four home-schooling programs, Courtney said. All of them are welcome, and can bring one guest between the ages of 16 and 20. Graduates enter the event for free, while guests pay $10. Usually about 500 people attend, between graduates and guests, Courtney said.
The festivities begin at 10 p.m. Sunday, following Juneau-Douglas High School’s graduation (the latest one, which begins at 7 p.m.). People are allowed to enter until 11 p.m., and if guests leave early, they aren’t eligible for the grand prizes. All graduates will receive a small gift and a coupon for a free Bullwinkle’s pizza.
“I think it’s just a great community event to bring the high school students together,” Courtney said, “and have them come out and see each other and maybe get to know new people.”
While the night serves as a social event and an enjoyable way to cap off the school year, the main reason for the event’s conception in 1989 was for safety reasons. Alaskans for Drug-Free Youth put it together that year to ensure that high school seniors were all in an environment that was free of alcohol and drugs.
It’s been eight years since the drunk-driving crash that claimed the life of Taylor White just days after his Juneau-Douglas High School graduation in 2009, but that memory is still fresh in the minds of many. White, who was a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver, serves as an example of the dangers of drinking and driving. A sculpture modeled after the car in the crash has stood in front of the local high schools in the past month, a physical reminder of the dangers of drinking and driving.
In 2014, 17 percent of drivers between the ages of 16 and 20 who were killed in car crashes had a BAC (blood-alcohol content) of 0.08 percent or higher, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In a national CDC survey in 2015, 20 percent of teens said that they had ridden in the past month with a driver who had been drinking alcohol.
Those who put on and support the Safe Grad event hope it can deter graduates from being in those kinds of positions. It isn’t limited to just parents of graduates, as volunteers from around the community often join in and help put on the event. Volunteers are still needed for this year’s event, Courtney said, mostly in helping to set up and tear down after it’s done.
“They don’t necessarily have to have high school students involved,” Courtney said of the volunteers. “If they just want to help in this great community event, we welcome all volunteers.”

June 15 marks the World Elder Abuse Awareness day that aims to raise awareness about adults failing prey to abuse, neglect and financial exploitation. Locals participated in the awareness day and wrote their views at Biju Patnaik Park in Odisha’s Bhubaneswar. Signature campaign was organised today in 12 parks of Bhubaneshwar with a message 'My parents-My responsibility' on World Elder abuse awareness day. Locals came down and participated in the campaign. While speaking to ANI, a local said, “Our parents are not our options, they should be our first priority”. Another local stated that the government should provide all the facilities to the senior citizens of the country. They should get medical treatment free of cost.

I have a young face but an old soul. Super laid back and easy going. Wisdom speaks the truth and grounded people interest me.
I'm what you call an active hippy! I'm a graphic director by day and a crossfit junkie by night. so I'm always either working on some kind of art related project, whether it's visual or audible art, or i'm climbing up a wall of some kind. I'm a singer/songwriter and I play in a band. No I don't sleep around. Dont stereotype band people, we're normal just like you. I've always been the relationship type anyway and honestly music is something very special to me. I feel very spiritually connected to it especially when I'm performing live. Other days you'll catch me playing soccer or riding my beach cruiser with my dog next to me, and I do it every chance I get. I live near the beach and occasionally I bike ride there and say hello to the seagulls from to time to time. I don't really go out to clubs much but then again I don't mind hanging out at a cool lounge or bar every now and again and having a drink. I travel every chance i get, and I would love to have a traveling companion.
I'm a family man and I must say that my family is pretty awesome. We're all just a bunch of crazy brazilians with a good sense of sharing love and laughs
I'm looking for someone who is laid back and doesn't stress over the little things. Someone who can share their opinions clearly without either of us trying to impress or overrule the other. a good conversation can go a long way with me. Self confident and self motivated but not arrogant, just easy going and classy. Trustworthy and loyal. I'm a bit of an out of the box thinker and i need my other half to be in the same boat otherwise it just wont work. if you think you're a bit nuts and weird, then we're made for each other! All in all, having a sense of humor is super key, so if you can make me laugh, i'll cook you dinner and rub your feet.

With now less than three weeks away from the deadline to file for office in the upcoming May primary election, filing for office–both locally and otherwise, continues to be extremely slow.
Since the first of the year, only two additional candidates–one local and one district-wide candidate–had filed as of press time Tuesday morning, January 7.
The local candidate who filed is John D. Beaty, a Republican candidate for the office of Jailer. This brings the total number of persons seeking that seat to five, all Republicans.
Also announcing his re-election bid last week is 83rd District State Representative Jeff Hoover. State candidates file with the Secretary of State’s office in Frankfort. Hoover, a Jamestown Republican incumbent, is the current House Minority Leader, a position he has held since 1997.
As of early this week, the local number of candidates seeking office in Clinton County stood at 36 total, with 33 of those being Republican and three Democrat.
Counting state, federal and judicial related races, a total of 44 persons have officially filed whose names will appear on the Clinton County ballot in the spring.
Filing deadline for all offices is January 28 at 4 p.m.

As temperatures drop we prepare and make the necessary changes for the incoming fall and winter seasons, but one of those changes from warmer weather we should keep all year round is sunscreen! Regardless of the season, sunscreen should be a factor because even when the forecast calls for clouds, up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate, including the certain factors like snow which can increase the strength of UV rays and reflect up to the same percentage. Gone are the days in leaving the outcome to our skin to the elements. In most cases we can take control and be the Captain of our own skin’s destiny!
Beautiful skin starts with healthy skin and protecting our skin from too much UV ray exposure is impertinent to maintain damage free skin, even for women of color. “Black don’t crack”, is a common misconception that skin tones of darker complexions are completely shielded to the repercussions of UV rays, but this a farfetched belief that I was guilty of myself years ago. While the higher counts of melanin in our skin acts a more efficient guard than Caucasian and lighter skin tones, this does not mean we are 100% protected. We are still vulnerable to skin cancer and free-radical damage that causes premature aging due to the breakdown of collagen which is basically the loss of the skin’s elasticity that causes wrinkles. This is why it is so important for us to protect ourselves and the best form of defense is sunscreen which helps to shield against harmful UV rays.
Of course protecting our skin from UV rays is important but the ingredients in the sunscreen we choose are just as significant! Recently the 2012 Sunscreen Guide reported 25% of 800 tested sunscreens are proficient without the use of harmful ingredients. For a sunscreen to pass the safety test the ingredients must be free of…
• Retinyl palmitate: A type of vitamin A, although inconclusive for humans. Government-funded studies through mice have found that a certain type of vitamin A may increase risk of skin cancer when applied on sun-exposed skin. Meaning Retinyl palmitate is till on the chopping block.
• Oxybenzone: An organic compound that could interfere with the hormonal system
• SPF over 50: SPF 15 blocks about 93%, SPF 30 blocks 97%.and SPF 50 blocks 98%. Sunscreens with SPF’s of 50 and over usually display no difference in protection or just an extra margin of 1% and are overpriced.
Now you are armed with what to avoid in finding the right sunscreen you should also be aware of what the sunscreen should contain and that is broad spectrum. Broad spectrum simply means your sunscreen not only protects from UVB rays but UVA as well. The cause of sunburns is from UVB where UVA causes free-radical damage responsible for premature aging. Including reapplication every 90-120 minutes of all sunscreens due to the breakdown as soon as the sunscreen is exposed to sunlight, this breakdown causes the product to become ineffective after this period of time.
Yes, it definitely involves a bit of research in finding not only an efficient but safe sunscreen as well. Below are 13 of the most affordable natural sunscreens around with some help from thedailygreen.com.

A 'Pattern of Abuse' -- PJ's J. Christian Adams on Fox's The Kelly File
Our own J. Christian Adams appeared on Fox News Channel's The Kelly File last night. Adams details the Obama/Holder Justice Department's pattern of going after conservatives. He notes that when he was at the DoJ, the FBI used a certain Republican's donor files to train department lawyers to spot federal campaign finance violations.

Somewhere in foodie evolution the word snack has become the word treat.
That small word play has turned into a 570 calorie increase in our diets which could explain the unhealthy weight gain Canadians are experiencing.
When I was growing up the word snack meant a piece of fruit or some veggies. And you had a snack because you were hungry. A treat on the other hand was a totally different thing. You got a treat on a very special occasion – Visiting relatives, a birthday party, or Santa was coming. It was pop or chips or some other junkie empty calorie food that was high in sugar, fat, or salt. It was cause for a celebration! You looked forward to it, it was special.
What has evolved today is that daily treats have crept into our diets masking themselves as snacks.
People are snacking on pop, chips, pizza, doughnuts, cake, pie, and other high calorie foods and then having their regular meals as well. And this trend is affecting our long term health.
Change your mind set and switch from junkie empty calorie treat foods to delicious nutrient dense snack foods like fruits and vegetables. Your waist line and your heart will thank you. And seriously – do you really want to piss off your heart?
Here’s my list of go to snacks:
- any fruit, I especially love frozen grapes in the summer
- any berry
- apple and peanut or almond butter
- apple with cheese
- celery with peanut or almond butter
- celery with cheese
- chopped veggies with low fat dip
- chopped veggies with hummus
- whole grain cracker with peanut or almond butter
- small portion of cubed cheese
- small handful of nuts
- Greek yogurt, I’m loving Chocolate yogurt from iogo
- one of my whole grain muffins

Organizations are often known for training programs that look good on paper. But sometimes, they don’t provide a genuine opportunity to develop skills to succeed long-term. When it comes to employee skills training, the focus should be more than just new hire orientation or your everyday training.
If you want your employees to thrive in today’s complex world, your employee training program should focus on topics that help with confidence and accountability. But it should also prevent more complex work issues to come.
There are some overlooked skills training topics that can provide a well-rounded education on how to succeed in life and work for years to come.
Soft skills are often overlooked. However, they can help build interpersonal skills like listening, time management, communication and more.
Sometimes, employers don't appreciate soft skills, but those non-technical skills can help with:
More than ever today, HR professionals should value soft skills just as much as hard skills because they can apply to just about every job. Soft skills can make someone more successful in your organization because they help employees work as a team and towards achieving organizational goals.
Skills like adaptability, emotional intelligence, and communication are becoming much more in demand than technical skills that anyone can learn. Additionally, soft skills are transferable no matter what job you do.
Mindfulness can help employees process misunderstandings and conflict better by taking the time to pause and understand where their colleagues are coming from.
Adaptability means employees are flexible and willing to accept change in a positive manner.
Problem-solving skills can help someone solve problems quickly and, at times, creatively, as employees with this skill can think outside the box.
As an HR professional, developing soft skills in employees is every bit as important as teaching someone how to use the organization's newest computer system.
Workplaces include people of all races, genders, backgrounds, religions and cultures. Often, biases arise from different perspectives. These should be addressed with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training.
Many times, unconscious biases affect interpersonal relationships at work. This stems from social stereotypes that people form without being aware of them. We all have unconscious beliefs about different identities and social groups. These come from our tendency to categorize things into groups.
HR skills training topics like sexual harassment and unconscious bias can help improve workplace cultures and support employees of all backgrounds.
DEI training has many benefits, like making employees more aware of unconscious biases and working together better. Diverse teams are faster at making decisions and are more innovative.
Public sector organizations should value this training to get workers in the habit of thinking inclusively and understanding different perspectives.
Organizations value the benefits of training on mental health and well-being with topics like resilience, better work-life balance and stress management.
Before the pandemic, these organizations overlooked these skills training topics. But the new normal shows that anxiety, stress and depression take a toll on productivity, morale and job satisfaction at work.
Help employees cope with the stresses of work and life. Teach them how to get support when they need it and erase the stigma of these issues as that creates a healthier, happier employee. Many organizations include mental health and well-being education and resources as part of standard employee benefit programs.
New technologies bring more advanced threats. Preventing phishing attacks and data breaches is a common issue organizations deal with, especially since many store secure information. Hackers are getting more savvy at tricking people in different ways. So, cybersecurity awareness is critical for everyone to learn.
Security awareness training helps employees identify and avoid data breaches and phishing attacks that could leak private information and more. This type of training helps IT professionals respond faster and more effectively to cyber threats.
Cybersecurity training also helps citizens feel safer knowing that someone is safeguarding their data. Teaching employees how to protect sensitive information and how to adhere to best practices protects everyone. Plus, it can save organizations much heartache and even money.
HR leaders should focus on building robust training programs that teach employees:
Doing this shapes well-rounded, more productive workers.
Soft skills and DEI training teach employees skills that help them work as a team and progress toward goals together. As many organizations deal with sensitive information, cybersecurity skills training is vital to protect employees, the agency and users alike.
Mental health and well-being are becoming an important element of an employee benefits program. That helps employees be more productive and reduce stress. Well-rounded employees drive business success and help create an inclusive work culture that is healthy for everyone.
If you need help implementing a new training program that helps employees learn the skills they need to thrive, CPS HR can help.

REVIEW – WiFi is everywhere these days. Wherever you are you’re being bombarded with WiFi signals. However ironically one of the big issues most people have is coverage in their own homes. It appears because of the size and construction of houses, there are often areas where the WiFi from a single WiFi router won’t reach. Deadspots! How do you solve this issue if you don’t have cable infrastucture? You add additional WiFi repeater points. This however often created management issues having multiple units to manage (often of different brands) and support separately. The “latest” solution to WiFi issues is Mesh Networking a WiFi solution to improve your coverage and simplify management. Having played with a lot of the Gl.iNet travel products, the guys reached out to me to ask if I wanted to review their B1300 – Convexa home-based Mesh Router system. Does it make things easier? Read on:
What is it?
As mentioned in the introduction previously to increase the coverage of your WiFi where you didn’t have cabling (wired performance is ALWAYS better so use where possible), you’d use a set of repeaters. I’m not going to go into all the technical background of repeaters and/or mesh systems however suffice to say if you used repeaters you’d have multiple separate boxes to manage, different brands often didn’t play well together and you couldn’t actually often see all the information you required (like what clients are attached) in a single place. Mesh networking has the concept of a “master” node and then “slave” nodes. In the mesh, all the nodes talk to each other, appear as a single WiFi network and “seamlessly” hand over to devices as they move closer to each node, two things that repeaters didn’t do well.
You can just use the B1300 as a single WiFi router, but it’s when you have 2 or more nodes that the mesh advantages start to kick in. Being based on OpenWRT, unlike many of the other vendors products, you aren’t locked into a vendors firmware and you can do everything you could with a normal OpenWRT router, add packages for load balancing, adblocking, torrents, VPN server and clients and anything else you can download from the OpenWRT repositories, even write your own firmware if you really wanted.
What’s in the box?
Inside the box, you get everything you need to get started. The B1300 unit, a 12V/1.5A AC adapter with country-specific plug ( you can actually order with a Power Over Ethernet (POE) module if your switch supports it and eliminate the need for the PSU), a network cable and a quick start guide.

Design and features
Just for interest, here it is against my Mango travel router. This isn’t quite traveling friendly like the Mango but you get a much better-specced box and mesh capability 🙂 The “standouts” here are the better processor, 3 Gigabit ports and dual-band (2.4/5) WiFi. Even though it’s built on OpenWRT unlike other vendors offerings it’s still based on the industry-standard Qualcomm Wi-Fi SON (Self-Organizing Network) mesh system.
The unit is well made, made from good quality plastic (not that shiny thin stuff) and doesn’t look too obtrusive. On the top front, you can see 3 LEDs that indicate, power, mesh status, and WiFi operation. Again like their other products they’re very discreet and aren’t going to light up your room and distract you with their flashing.
On the back, a USB 3.0 port that can be used for a flash drive or to connect a 4G dongle, 1 Gigabit WAN port, 2 Gigabit LAN ports and the power connector.
The front only has a single rocker button; a reset (short press to restart the router, long press to reset to defaults) and a mesh button.
Setup is quite easy. Plug your modem/router into the WAN port of your master node and set it up. Gl.iNet has included its own simple interface on top of OpenWRT which makes this pretty simple. I won’t cover again as I’ve already covered this (to some extent) in my Mango or Slate reviews already.
Hold down the mesh button on the front of master node until it starts to flash quickly and then hold the mesh button on the front of the first slave node until it starts to flash quickly and then wait 🙂 Eventually both the mesh lights on the two nodes will go solid and, voila, you have a two node mesh. If you have additional nodes you press the mesh button on the master node again and repeat with each slave node.
In the end, you’ll have a mesh system as per the above picture. As mentioned above each node talks to the other.
Management and interface:
All your management is now done on the master node. On the management console (on the master node), you can now see the 2 nodes I currently have set up. Note that there’s now a single SSID for the WiFi and no differentiation between 2.4Ghz and 5.0 GHz WiFi bands. The mesh allows your clients to pick the best node and band to maximize WiFi performance.
If you drill down further you can see what devices are connected to what node and on what band. If you are using repeaters, you cannot get this information in a single screen (if you can get it at all).
The list of clients shows every device connected to the mesh and you can block or monitor them from here.
I can now walk around the house and seamlessly move from node to node without dropping my WiFi connection. This was always an issue with repeaters, and often you’d actually have to manually change your WiFi settings to connect to the nearest repeater. Management can be done on a single node and can even be managed remotely over their cloud based platform Goodcloud if required. Dead spots are now a thing of the past (assuming you place your nodes correctly). As I move from node to node, I can see my speed and signal dropping as I move away from my connected note, then both start to increase again as I move into range of the next node.
Currently I have one node setup with a USB drive as a media storage platform and one of the lesser nodes is being used to download torrents using Transmission. I’ve even had a USB 4G dongle attached to my main node as well as a wired connection and let the router load balance between the two connections where the wired connection wasn’t up to scratch.
What I like
- Easy to setup
- OpenWRT based
- Flexible single node management
- Increased WiFi coverage
- Automatic firmware updates (to all nodes)
- I can see all my clients on my network and which node they’re attached to which you can’t easily do with repeaters
- No more multiple SSIDs and having to choose between them (often manually).
- I have a single network on multiple bands with a SSID and I don’t have to pick 2.4Ghz or 5.0Ghz the client picks the “best” frequency (not always the case, will depend on your client).
- When standing next to each node I get the same maximum speed as the master node attached to the router.
- As I move around I can see the WiFi signal drop as I move away from a node and then increase as I approach and attach to another node. Handover appears to be pretty seamless
What I’d change
- There’s not much to change here. Once you’ve set it up it’s pretty much set and forget.
If you have the capability to used wired Access Points, this will always be the best option. It’s worth noting that most mesh systems should still work fine with wire connected nodes which would be the ultimate solution. That being said, in a prebuilt house it’s often either too hard or too expensive to retrofit cable runs into the existing residence to improve your signal and a Mesh WiFi connection maybe the best and most economical way of doing this.
Because the B1300 is based on OpenWRT it’s a much more flexible solution than other offerings as you can add functionality (to each node if required) as required and the ability to add more nodes means you can’t really outgrow the system. Overall mesh networking certainly goes a long way to giving you a relatively simple setup process, and a good unified platform to manage your WiFi and its devices while increasing your WiFi coverage.

Retail loans to be priced using external benchmarks
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) held its policy rates unchanged at its fifth monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting in the current financial year – the repo at 6.5 per cent and the reverse repo at 6.25 per cent, as widely expected by the market.
The MPC lowered the inflation projection to a much lower 2.7-3.2 per cent range for the second half of the current year compared with 3.9-4.5 per cent in the previous period. The committee also maintained the policy stance at ‘calibrated tightening’ as expected.
In an important move, the RBI has announced a strategic switch from the internal benchmarks to external benchmarks for pricing floating rate loans by banks, leaving behind the standards hitherto followed by the banks such as prime lending rate (PLR), benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR), base rate and the latest in the series, the marginal cost of fund based lending rates (MCLR).
In another move that may result in the release of funds estimated in the region of Rs1 lakh to 1.5 lakh crore into the system once fully implemented, the RBI has decided to reduce the minimum statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) to be maintained by the banks to 18 per cent from the current 19.5 per cent in phases starting from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018.
Each calendar year will witness a drop of 25 basis points in the SLR ratio until it reaches 18 per cent after the sixth quarter from now.
“Given the assessment that growth will remain healthy for the rest of the year, the MPC retained its stance at calibrated tightening so as to buy time to pause, reflect and undertake future policy action with more robust inflation signals. If upside risks do not materialize or are muted in their impact as reflected in incoming data, there is a possibility of space opening up for commensurate policy actions by the MPC,” RBI governor Urijit Patel said while addressing the press following the announcement of the MPC decisions.
Stating that cash reserve ratio (CRR) doesn’t fall within the remit of MPC, the RBI Governor said there was less chance for a cut in CRR to improve liquidity. “We have enough other instruments at our disposal to manage liquidity in the system,” he added.
The central bank which has been active in the market in the recent months through open market operations (OMO) to induce liquidity through purchase of bonds said it will continue to do so at least until March-end.
RBI has already pumped funds to the tune of Rs1.36 trillion through OMO during the year whereas another OMO for a value of Rs40,000 crore has already been announced.

Jacobs to develop feasible solutions for Oxford to Cambridge Expressway project
Highways England (HE) has contracted Jacobs Engineering Group (Jacobs) to assist with its Oxford to Cambridge Expressway project, with a focus on developing the corridor between the M1 and M40 motorways.
The expressway project covers nearly 150km and is expected to improve connectivity across England’s economic heartland.
The project is expected to support the development of strategic growth sites between the university cities of Oxford and Cambridge, along with Milton Keynes’ high-tech businesses.
For a period of two years, Jacobs and its supply chain partners will identify the most viable corridor and routes to improve east-west transport connectivity.
The contract also covers engineering assessments, as well as stakeholder and project management to move the project through options development.
Jacobs Buildings and Infrastructure senior vice-president Bob Duff said: “This is undoubtedly a critical transport link in the national infrastructure to support the continued economic development of one of the most significant growth corridors in the UK.
“Having worked closely with Highways England on the first section of the proposed expressway program, we look forward to integrating this experience with our proven transportation capabilities to deliver practical, strategic solutions.”
Jacobs is involved in various transportation projects in the UK, including Highways England’s Regional Investment Programme and Smart Motorways Programme.


Belarus – which literally means [land of the] White Rus – is a landlocked eastern European nation. Population: under 10m. Capital city: Minsk. Governed by: Alexander Lukashenko, the first and only president since 1994. Some have described his rule as ‘a dictatorship’ while he himself has described his style of ruling as ‘authoritarian.’
To continue, Lukashenko’s record on human rights has been widely criticised. The only country in Europe to officially still have capital punishment, opponents to the regime, including independent politicians, journalists and yes, independent trade unions, have been repressed, sometimes violently.
Up until a few weeks ago I doubt if most people would have heard of Belarus. Following Lukashenko’s ‘re-election’ on August 9, of which many independent observers have reported concerns of serious fraud, manipulation and irregularities before, during and after the election –disproportionate violence, persecution and arrests were rained down on people peacefully protesting against the results.
Overnight the formerly overlooked republic of Belarus had become a target of worldwide, democratic condemnation.

As a small business owner, you’re probably well aware of the effect that social media has on your business. If you’re seeking to advertise through social media as much as possible, having a blog is essential. You can make your blog even more effective by combining it with other social media platforms like Twitter. Here are just six ways to combine Twitter and your blog:
1. Name Your Twitter Account After Your Blog
This is especially important if your blog already has followers, but even if you’re just starting to build your blog and your Twitter account, linking them together with a similar name is a good method of branding.
2. List Your Blog for Your Twitter Followers
Make sure the link to your blog is listed in your Twitter profile, which is one of the first things people see on your Twitter page. Of course, you should also talk about your business here to entice potential customers to follow you. You might even want to give them an idea of what you’ll be blogging and Tweeting about (ie. company specials, information for industry professionals, FAQs about your business, etc.).
3. Link Your Twitter Feed to Your Blog Page
You’ll also want to give guests to your blog easy access to your Twitter account. Make it visible that you have a Twitter account. Blog readers who have Twitter accounts might want to follow you as an easier way of getting blogs updates than checking your blog every day. They know if they follow you, they’ll be able to see your new blog posts in their Twitter feeds.
4. Tweet All Your Blogs
Once you start your Twitter account, it’s important to keep it going by Tweeting each blog post you make. If you aren’t blogging several times a day, you’ll want to keep the content coming on your Twitter feed fresh by adding in extra Tweets between blog posts.
5. Write Mini Blogs Each Day
With that said, the best way to keep your Twitter account and your blog linked and to keep people following them is definitely to keep the content rolling on both of them. It used to be that bloggers would shoot for one or two longer blog posts a day. Now, though, social media like Twitter has made it a better idea to post several smaller blog posts each day so that your blog content and Twitter content stay fresh.
6. Follow People Who are Interested in Your Niche
Don’t just wait for people to find and follow you. Instead, follow others who might be interested in your Twitter feed and blog content. By doing this, you can get an idea of the needs of your target audience, and you can also make people aware of your business’s Twitter fed and blog.
According to the Huffington Post, there are over 200 million active accounts on Twitter, and the company saw a 110% increase in the number of daily Tweets that were posted last year. About half of Twitter users log in at least once a day! Obviously, this makes for a good potential market, so you need to jump in on it.

Even if one is a pro, performing advanced yoga asanas can be challenging. And what if you just add reverse gravity challenge to it or aerial yoga? Actor Alia Bhatt was recently spotted acing Natarajasana or dancer’s pose.
And guess what? With the support of a hammock, the Brahmastra actor attempted the aerial inversion, considered to be a real test for any practitioner. The combination of a backbend as well as an inversion is said to be more beneficial for the practitioner.
The photos of Alia practising the pose were shared by yoga practitioner Anshuka Parwani on Instagram.
“Inverting and dancing into opening up the heart,” mentioned Parwani.
For the uninitaited, aerial yoga is a combination of traditional yoga poses, Pilates, and dance performed with the use of a sturdy hammock. So, instead of doing the yoga asanas on a mat, one does them with their body suspended from the hammock that is usually kept close to the ground, less than a metre from the floor. Aerial yoga was…


DALLAS & MONTGOMERY, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and officials from across the Commonwealth joined Panda Power Funds today to break ground on the company’s 829-megawatt combined-cycle “Patriot” generating station located in Lycoming County, Pa. The Patriot project is only the second power plant in Pennsylvania, after Panda’s Liberty power project, specifically sited in the heart of the Marcellus Shale. The plant’s proximity to Marcellus natural gas is expected to provide the project with significant operating cost advantages. Panda expects the Patriot generating station to enter commercial operations in mid-2016.
During the ceremony, Governor Corbett announced that the power project will contribute an estimated $5.85 billion to Pennsylvania’s economy during construction and the plant’s first 10 years of operation.
“This is another project that shows how our ‘all of the above and below’ energy strategy is putting Pennsylvania at the forefront of the American energy revolution,” said Governor Tom Corbett. “By responsibly harvesting our abundant energy resources, we are creating family-sustaining jobs and are reinvigorating local communities all over Pennsylvania.”
“Panda Power Funds is making a strong financial commitment to the people of Pennsylvania because Governor Corbett and many other elected officials — including Senator Yaw and Representative Everett — made a previous commitment to carefully develop Pennsylvania’s vast supply of natural gas,” said Todd W. Carter, president and senior partner of Panda Power Funds. “They saw then, what is happening now — the rebirth of Pennsylvania’s industrial base and a renewed hope for America’s energy independence.”
The Panda Patriot facility will be one of the cleanest natural gas-fueled power plants in the nation, utilizing state-of-the-art emissions-control technology. The plant will be powered by Siemens H-class gas turbines — the world’s first generation technology to achieve plant operating efficiencies of 60 percent — making the facility one of the most fuel-efficient natural gas power plants in the United States. In addition, unlike approximately 95 percent of the nation’s generating facilities, the plant will be cooled with air rather than water. As a result, the Patriot plant will not discharge water into the Western Branch of the Susquehanna River — eliminating potential impacts to sensitive species in the Susquehanna watershed.
Approximately 500 jobs will be created to construct the Patriot power plant at peak construction. During operations, the generating station will create an estimated 27 skilled jobs to operate the facility and 45 indirect jobs within the community to support the plant.
The Panda Patriot project has been strategically sited in the Marcellus Shale, estimated to be the second largest natural gas field in the world with up to 330 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas — or the equivalent of 100 years of production at current levels. The facility’s closeness to such large natural gas reserves is expected to create a new, long-term market for local gas producers and royalty owners.
The Panda Patriot project will provide power to the eastern portion of the PJM Interconnection, North America’s largest transmission system serving approximately 61 million people in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia. The Interconnection is in need of new generating capacity as approximately 20,000 megawatts of coal-fired power generation is scheduled to retire by 2016. PJM also has an aging generating fleet, in need of replacement, with 70,000 megawatts of generation possessing an average age of 56 years.
Originally developed by Moxie Energy, the Patriot project will be built by Gemma Power Systems LLC, through a joint venture with The Lane Construction Corporation. Gemma-Lane will serve as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor, and Siemens Energy Inc. will provide the power island package including the natural gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, heat recovery steam generators, and instrument and control systems. Gemma-Lane will be responsible for installing the power island equipment and for the engineering, procurement and installation of the balance of the plant, and the commissioning of the facility.
The generating station will be located on an 85-acre site in Montgomery, Pa., approximately 60 miles north of Harrisburg. When completed, the generating station will be able to supply the power needs of up to 1 million homes in Pennsylvania.

Jennifer Aniston became a household name while playing Rachel Green on Friends from 1994 to 2004, and the actress revealed on BBC's The One Show on Monday night that she still watches reruns of the hit sitcom.
Entertainment Tonight reports that one of the hosts asked Aniston whether she would watch a rerun of the show if she caught it, to which she replied, "Yeah! I can't help it. First, I'm trying to remember which episode it is and half the time I'm saying to myself, 'I don't remember that.' You get sucked into the nostalgia of it."
Aniston did admit, however, that there was one thing about the show the cast didn't particularly enjoy.
"No one was really a big fan of that theme song," she revealed. "We felt it was a little, I dunno, dancing in a pond, a fountain felt sort of odd, but we did it."
The actress was on the show to promote her upcoming flick Office Christmas Party, but she also dished about wanting to try her hand at directing.
"I think it's more about being in front of the camera for so many years and you start to just realize you've collected so much information and knowledge about it and how much fun that would be to step out from in front of the camera and go behind," she explained.

Project, produced each Spring as part of a school wide program, with the
students' work judged by professionals in the theatre and film industry.
Exorcism is about Ned Malloy a tortured young man at the end of his ropes.
Ned attempts to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. However, his
roommate Jimmy, finds him before itís too late. Now Ned must come to terms with
The play is based on OíNeillís own experience during his early 20Ďs. It was
written in 1919 and O'Neill destroyed every copy of Exorcism after its initial
performance ó or at least he thought he did. For more than 90 years, Exorcism
was believed to be lost forever.
Adapting any play let alone a Eugene OíNeill play was quite a difficult task.
Going in I knew that not everything written for the stage will translate
cinematically but given the fact that OíNeillís text is so rich, I still found
myself laboring over which lines I could and couldnít include.
Rather than trying to include every piece of the dialogue written in the play, I
decided instead, to focus on making the film as true and honest in depicting the
situation and the characters. I also wanted to portray both without sentiment
much like OíNeill dealt with his characters in his plays.
The fact that the play was about OíNeillís own suicide attempt made it that much
more interesting to make and also helped me tremendously in my approach --
Making the film more about OíNeill as much as the actual play.
I canít say enough how much of a privilege it was to rework a Eugene OíNeill
play. Throughout this process I kept trying to imagine myself as OíNeill not as
a writer but instead I tried to imagine how OíNeill would be as a director and
how he would approach his own work and more importantly the medium of film.
Hopefully, if anything he would not want to destroy all copies of this too.

Xbox One controller to get PC support “soon”.
Gamers hoping to play PC games with an Xbox One controller won’t have to wait much longer to do so, as Microsoft says PC support for its newest system’s controller will be available “very soon.”
In response to a NeoGAF post (via Polygon) lamenting the lack of official PC support for the controller, Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb, better known as Major Nelson, replied, “Soon. Very soon.” Unfortunately, he didn’t offer up anything more specific than that, so we remain in the dark as to exactly when PC drivers will be released.
Microsoft said last August that it planned to make the Xbox One controller compatible with PC at some point in 2014. At the time, a spokesperson explained that the controller would require new software in order to optimize its performance with a PC, and that the company had to do some work to ensure that PC games compatible with an Xbox 360 controller would also work with an Xbox One controller.

Tallahassee – The Florida Competitive Workforce Act – Representative Holly Raschein (R- Key Largo) and Democratic Whip Senator Joseph Abruzzo (D- Boynton Beach) – has been filed in the Florida House and Senate. The bill aims to prohibit discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT) in employment, housing and public accommodations.
This is Raschien’s second year co-sponsoring the bill, which has been introduced in some form since 2007 but has died in committee each time. Last year, Raschein co-sponsored the bill with Rep. Joe Saunders (D-Orlando) in the House and Sen. Joe Abruzzo (D-Wellington) introduced it in the Senate. Despite support from nearly a dozen of Florida’s top employers including Walt Disney World, Darden, Wells Fargo and Florida Blue, the bill didn’t make it before the Florida House. It was approved by the Senate.
This year, Florida Businesses for a Competitive Workforce has hired a group of bipartisan political campaigners to lead the initiative. Nineteen major Florida employers have joined since the coalition’s inception in March.
