Reviewing the COVID situation in the State, the Uttarakhand High Court on Wednesday observed that it was concerned with the possibility of the opening of the Char Dham, as is being contemplated by the State Government.
The Bench of Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Alok Kumar Verma also issued a slew of directions for the State Government keeping in view the fact that the Scientist community has cautioned of a third COVID wave in the near future and looking at the rising cases of Black Fungus.
Importantly, the Court also observed:
"The State will have to be well prepared to tackle the menace of both the third wave of COVID-19 and the continuation of Mucormycosis."
Some of the suggestions given by the Court are as follows:
- The State Government must plan and strategize as to how to tackle the emergence of the third wave.
- In order to deal with the menace of Black Fungus, the Government must come up with concrete plans. Since the Government claims that it has ample infrastructure both in terms of medical infrastructure and in human resources, since it claims that Black Fungus can be treated in different hospitals throughout the State, the necessary information with regard to the existence of such facilities should be disseminated to the public at large through electronic and print media.
- The State Government, in collaboration with the Central Government, must ensure that lifesaving drugs such as "Liposomal Amphotericin B" are steadily and continuously supplied to the State in order to ensure its free availability.
- The infrastructure required for treating Black Fungus should be strengthened by the State Government in the different hospitals, which are functioning throughout the State.
- Explain the discrepancy in the data with regard to the number of samples tested in the month of May, 2021. For, prima facie, there is, indeed, a discrepancy in the data furnished by the learned Secretary, Medical Health and Family Welfare.
- The Department of Medical Health and Family Welfare is also directed to issue a circular, both for the benefit of the public at large and for the private hospitals, clearly prescribing the upper cap applicable to the fees being charged by the private hospitals.
- The said circular should make it amply clear that the fee structure being prescribed is the maximum that a private hospital can charge from a patient.
- In case the private hospitals are found to be charging more than the prescribed fees, the State should take strict action against the erring hospitals in accordance with the law.
- The State Government is directed to implement the SOP with regard to vaccination of persons who do not possess the prescribed identity cards. The State Government should specifically endeavor to inoculate the Tribal population, the elderly population, the physically challenged persons, and the eligible homeless people.
- The State Government should also consider the feasibility of roping in celebrities, who are the role models for the people of the State for educating the people about the COVID-19 pandemic and with regard to adhering to the SOP issued by the Central Government and State Governments. For, many a time, it is the celebrities, who act as a catalyst, and as motivators for the public at large.
- The State Government should consider the possibility of creating a system which would permit the nurses, accompanied with an Asha Worker and a Home Guard, who can go door to door and inoculate the eligible persons in each village. For, until and unless inoculation is carried out on war footing, it will be extremely difficult to prevent the onslaught of the third wave.
Submissions made by the State Government
At the outset, the Government submitted that due to the steps taken by it, the number of COVID-19 cases has drastically decreased in the State in the last one month and that it was constantly in touch with the Central Government to provide better infrastructure for the people of the State.
It was further apprised to the Court that the Central Government has permitted the Uttarakhand State to collect its oxygen quota from its own oxygen production units, which are being operated and functioning within the State of Uttarakhand.
Importantly, the Court was informed that a Second Committee under the Director, Medical, Health, and Family Welfare, had also been constituted for examining the possibility of the emergence of the third wave.
As soon as the recommendations are submitted before the State Government, the Government will take necessary steps in accordance with the said recommendations, it was submitted.
Further, the Government also submitted that considering the possible threat of the third wave of COVID-19, the Government is planning to strengthen the health care system, especially, keeping in mind that the possible victims of the third wave may be the children.
In order to ward off the third wave, inoculation in the State was being done at a rapid pace, it was submitted.
It was also informed to the court that the State Government had already sought instructions from the Central Government with regard to the inoculating the Nepalese population within the State.
Submissions made by intervenors
- The private hospitals have reserved a large number of beds for the upper echelon or the elite of the society
- The correct data is not being published by the State Government regarding the availability of ICU beds.
- The people, including the nomads, persons in the old age homes, roadside beggars, people residing in Rehabilitation Centres or camps and other identifiable eligible persons have not been identified in the State. Thus, a large segment of the population continues to be deprived of vaccination.
- Direction should be issued to the State Government to constitute the District Task Force, and to ensure that these vulnerable sections of society are duly inoculated by the State.
- Despite the repeated requests of the Asha Workers and the Aaganbadi Workers, the Government has not even provided PPE kits to these workers, who are actively engaged in the war against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The matter will now be heard next on June 16, 2021.

The blog is finally back! I’ve been on a bit of haitus since I’ve been moving to a new apartment, my sister got married this week and I had car trouble in Seattle and had to replace a flat, which took a few days. There are reviews upcoming, the first of which is this one that I’ve been working on. Enjoy.
“Hellboy 2” is a lot of fun. This is a film that takes everything that worked about the first film and focuses it (with some of the same problems still around as well) and creating a few new problems. It is the better film though, as the characters in this are more memorable and Hellboy isn’t the only character driving the plot this time. Non-spoiler thoughts, check this film out if you like the Hellboy comics and enjoyed the first film.
The film was directed and written by Guillermo del Toro and produced Lawrence Gordon, Mike Richardson and Lloyd Levin.
The story involves Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and the team working top the evil elf Prince Nuada from summoning the immortal Golden Army from ancient that nearly wiped out humanity before.
The Pros: The World – Guillermo loves the dark world of fairy mythology (see “Pan’s Labrynth”) and here he gets to show and express that love in the mythos on display. His world is fascinating and all characters look so real and alien. This is really him in his element as this film had some of my favorite character designs.
The Soundtrack – Danny Elfman once again creates a powerful score! This is a guy who specializes in dark fairy tales and that is what this Hellboy film is. he does a masterful job capturing the tragedy and loss in scenes and the soundtrack is worth checking out just for what it is.
The Cinematography – The cinematography is stunning. While the last film was too dark at times this one embraces the dark but also the light to create beautiful contrasts in locations and characters, giving the film and otherworldly feel. Guillermo Navarro did a fantastic job.
The Introduction – A little Hellboy is being red a story by his adoptive father Trevor (yay, John Hurt is back!). It is a touching scene as we learn that fairys and humans lived in harmony until humans started destroying the land leading King Balor to create a Golden Army of magic. He regrets it all after the death toll rises and makes a peace treaty with humanity. His son leaves in exile as he wanted humanity wiped out and he and his daughter hide the pieces so the army may never rise again.
The Characters – The characters are what drew me into the world of Hellboy (though Hellboy isn’t as interesting as Abe of Krauss in my opinion) and they are the reason I will continue to see these films.
King Balor – The King is awesome and shuts down his son when his son tries to call for war again. It takes his son killing him for him to be stopped. I wanted more of this guy as he was a fascinating and powerful character.
The Goblin Smith – This guy makes a deal to save the life of Hellboy and we learn he was the smith who made the Golden Army and fears his creations. He brings Liz to the Angel and she makes the deal to bring Hellboy back even knowing it could lead to the end.
The Angel – The Angel sees Hellboy’s future and in it only destruction. She is a dark and haunting figure with eyes of a large cranium and great black wings. She has my favorite design in the film and if they make more I hope we see her again. She saves Hellboy’s life.
Hellboy – Hellboy’s arc is learning to communicate with Liz and work on a team. He is by the end and has rubbed off on Krauss who rebels against the agency. His arc is cool as we see even though he is stupid, his heart is in the right place and he is a talented fighter.
Liz – Liz makes the choice Hellboy made last movie where he risks all to save her, she does the same this film. She is the one who has gotten control of her powers (I would have liked to see more of how that happened) and is the one helping Hellboy become responsible.
Abe Sapien – Abe has a character arc as we see him love and lose as he brings the crown to Nuada that awakens the army (and rightfully calls out Liz and Hellboy for doing the same thing). Sadly not all love works out as Nuala dies to save them all. It is a touching scene and we see how perceptive Abe is. I really liked his character after this film.
Prince Nuada – The Prince is in it for revenge and has a great design as a dark warrior. He trained for centuries and his plan nearly works because he is the only one who doesn’t love and only wants to control. Luckily he is stopped in the end by his sister, who it turns out was the only one who could unless the heroes were willing to kill her by killing Nuada.
Princess Nuala – Nuala should have got more screentime. We see she is compassion and a healer, while her brother is the warrior and she is shown to be wise as she knows that the war will only end in the destruction of all as the Golden Army is only built to destroy. She also falls in love with Abe and is lovely until she kills herself to stop her brother keeping up the theme of tragedy that pervaded the film.
Johann Krauss – Krauss is awesome! He is pretty much immortal because he is living ectoplasm in a suit. This leads to him being both smarter and stronger than Hellboy and a better leader on all counts as he doesn’t depend on brute forcing his way through situations. He does see the value in it though and resigns from the agency with the rest of them as they are tired of being tools, given that Hellboy’s existence is shown to be just a tool for his father to cause the end of the world. All of them, including Krauss, reject that control.
Okay: The Ending – It is cool that Liz and Hellboy are going to be parents, the freeze frame for the final shot was a bit annoying though.
The Cons: Disposable Agents – So many agents die, they are basically red shirts and I feel the stakes would have been hire if they’d felt more like characters rather than disposable bodies.
The Prince’s Long Term Plan – What was his plan after humanity was wiped out? He never talks about it and it seems that the Fairy Realm is largely afraid of him. He lived only for revenge when he could have been so much more since he wanted to rule and killed his father to do so.
I enjoyed this film much more than the first one largely because the side characters got a lot more exploration while still keeping the Hellboy mythos key with him being son of a Demon Lord. The price and cost of choices was explored really well too and using the Fairy World to do so was masterful since in mythology they are all about dealmaking. Krauss was my favorite character and his character growth was a big part of what made the film so fascinating outside of the great world and character designs that we’ve all come to expect from Guillermo del Toro.
Final Score: 8.6 / 10

Sound art and the Web often go hand in hand. An ongoing online exhibition called "Crossfade" explores the intersection of both. Sponsored by the world's major supporters of new media art -- the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Goethe-Institut, ZKM (Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany) and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) -- "Crossfade" is a series of commissioned "media essays." They can take any form that can possibly be presented online, ranging from hyperlinked text to musical compositions that incorporate the network as an instrument. This month's featured online "media essay" is a sound archive by pioneering musician Stephen Vitiello.


The present work highlights the prospects of application of the nanocomposite, polyaniline (PANI) -
polyvinylchloride(PVC)- Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWNT), in pressure sensing devices. The above
nanocomposite sample in the form of pressed pellet shows orders of change in electrical conductivity with applied
pressure in the range 10E5 Pa to 10E9 Pa, even for very small applied bias of a few milli-volts. The percentage variation
of electrical conductivity with applied pressure is strikingly large for this composite. There is ample scope for further
investigations in this direction especially if the samples can be cast in the form of free-standing films.

Pakistan should consider establishing ties with Israel, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said recently, in the days following a standoff with India over the disputed territory of Kashmir, Trend reports referring to Al Arabiya.
This was not the first time Musharraf had made his views known on developing relations with Israel. He ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008 and was one of the country’s most powerful heads of state.
Musharraf remained a strong critic of Israel until 2005. But it was during his rule that the first-ever direct Pakistan-Israel contact was made, with the help of the then-Turkish president Ahmet Necdet Sezer. Since then, Musharraf, who resigned in 2008, has advocated establishment of relations between Pakistan and Israel.
Musharraf, who claims to enjoy support from Pakistan’s military establishment, as well as from members of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s cabinet, has once again advised Pakistan to establish ties with Israel.
Addressing a press conference in Dubai last month, Musharraf said relations with Israel should be established to counter India, drawing an interesting parallel between Pakistani and Israeli strategic realities.
Musharraf also placed on record that, as head of state, he had initiated contacts with Israel. “The Israeli leadership was quick to respond to my offer within 24 hours. I assumed that Israel wanted to create better relations with Pakistan. They still want it,” Musharraf said.
The former president initiated contact with Israel during the second half of 2004, even as anti-Israel sentiments were at an all-time high in Pakistan, a Muslim majority country of 208 million people. Musharraf’s efforts bore fruit, when foreign ministers of Israel and Pakistan held their first meeting in Turkey in 2005.
Later, assisted by Jack Rosen, an American businessman and Chairman of the American Jewish Congress, and backed by then-president George W. Bush, Musharraf became the first Pakistani head of state to address the World Jewish Congress on September 18, 2005.
“Pakistan has no direct conflict with Israel, and we are not a threat to Israel’s security. We believe Israel represents no threat to Pakistan’s national security. But our people have deep sympathy for the Palestinian people, and their legitimate desire for a state,” Musharraf said at that time.
In his speech before the World Jewish Congress, which only a few in Pakistan hailed, Musharraf had praised Israel’s move to pull out of Gaza. “In response to [Ariel] Sharon’s courageous decision to pull out from Gaza, Pakistan has decided to establish formal ties with the State of Israel,” he said. However, Musharraf’s plan to establish Pakistan-Israel ties never materialized, while his views on Israel continue to divide politicians in Pakistan.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has not yet responded to Musharraf’s suggestion that Pakistan should form relations with Israel. However, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, told Al Arabiya English that this is a possibility, but only if the Israel-Palestine conflict is resolved amicably.
“Pervez Musharraf is Pakistan’s former president, so he is highly respected. But he isn’t a part of our government. Not even our ally. So, his comments do not reflect the government and people of Pakistan,” Qureshi said.
“What I can tell you is that Pakistan has had a pro-Palestinian stance for a long time. We cannot even think about establishing contacts with Israel until Palestine is internationally recognized as an independent state.”
Ijaz-ul-Haq, former federal minister for religious affairs in Musharraf’s government, categorically rejected any proposal to establish relations with Israel. “We can’t even think of establishing relations with Israel,” Ijaz-ul-Haq told Al Arabiya English.
Ironically, Ijaz-ul-Haq’s father, General Zia-ul-Haq, who served as President and Chief of Army Staff, reportedly allowed Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) to establish links with Israel’s Mossad in the early 1980s.
Intelligence offices were set up in embassies of both countries in Washington DC, where the Mossad and ISI, with help from the CIA, ran a decade-long anti-Soviet operation, codenamed Operation Cyclone.
Under this operation, Israel delivered Soviet made-weapons to Afghan rebels fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and also supplied weapons to the Pakistan Army.
According to WikiLeaks, ISI had secretly passed on intelligence to the Mossad that Israeli civilians might be targeted in a terrorist attack in India during September or November 2008. It was also reported that then-ISI chief Lieutenant-General Ahmad Shuja Pasha established direct contact with Israel’s Mossad to pass on this information.
Islamabad-based analyst and Ph.D. scholar at Quaid-e-Azam University, Mustansar Abbas, believes Pakistan may need a long time to eventually establish relations with Israel. But it will have to do it slowly, since foreign policy cannot be static and has to evolve with time.
“Take the example of Oman, which made it loud and clear that it is time to recognize Israel. Many Muslim countries, which in the past took a strong and principled stand against Israel, are now increasingly warming up to the Jewish state. So, Pakistan should consider building relations with Israel,” Abbas said.

Formed in the early 1970s, they were one of the first bands to perform the brand new style of music that will become know as pop music. Mixing African and African-American, jazz and R&B styles into their new pop style and that has been the appeal to their broad cross-section of fans.
As founder and leader of the band, Maurice White embraced and helped bring about the evolution of pop. This helped to bridge the gap that separated the musical tastes of black and white America. They have combined high-caliber musicianship, wide-ranging musical genre eclecticism, and ’70s multicultural spiritualism. “I wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before,” Maurice explains. “Although we were basically jazz musicians, we played soul, funk, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and dance music…which somehow ended up becoming pop.
In 1969, Maurice after leaving the Ramsey Lewis Trio and joined two friends, Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead, as a songwriting team composing songs and commercials in the Chicago area. The three friends got a recording contract with Capitol and called themselves the “Salty Peppers.” After relocating to Los Angeles they changed the band’s name to Earth, Wind & Fire. The group slowly began to build a reputation for innovative recordings and exciting, live shows, complete with feats of magic (floating pianos, spinning drum kits, vanishing artists).
The band has received 20 Grammy nominations, winning six. They have 12 American Music Awards nominations and four awards. They have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and sold over 100 million records, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time. Five members of Earth, Wind & Fire have also been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
They have been awarded the Lifetime Achievement honors from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Rhythm & Soul Heritage Award, NAACP Hall of Fame and the BET Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.
After watching them perform their signature musical style, the dynamic sound of their horn section, energetic stage shows, and contrasting vocals. We see why they have such a success and have been performing since the early ‘7os.
Riveredge Park in Downtown Aurora was the host for this legendary band. Constructed in 2012, this 30-acre park was designed to serve many purposes. From the canoe/kayak launch and natural landscaping to the VIP Rooftop Deck and 10-acre music venue. Parking was a bit of an issue near the park. There is remote parking and shuttle available.
We give this location and performance a solid 4 guitars. We look forward to future concerts at this beautiful location.

Last month, we reached an important milestone on the Poinsettia Lane Bridges project in Carlsbad, CA. The deck pour for the both bridges were completed in November! And, yes, the concrete is cocoa brown! The color was chosen by the city and our client, Lennar Homes, because it helps the bridges blend into the surrounding environment.
The twin three-span bridges will complete a much-needed vital link between two segments of Poinsettia Lane and spans a riparian habitat area. We are excited to provide design and construction management services for this unique project! #CreativePeoplePracticalSolutions#Bridges#Carlsbad

KFW Honors Carridder “Rita” Jones
Carridder “Rita” Jones (1935-2020) Gave Women Tools to Transform Their Lives
Carridder “Rita” Jones filled many roles in her lifetime, human resource professional, writer, mentor and advocate. She could have been content to work on her own writing and the daily duties of her job in human resources at University of Louisville, but instead she worked to boost the voices of other women.
Rita, who died on May 8th at the age of 84, was raised on a small farm near the cotton and tobacco fields of Timmonsville, South Carolina. An avid reader, Rita attended the county’s three-room schoolhouse (built for children of freed slaves). She went on to earn an English and Theatre Arts degree at the University of Louisville, where she worked in human resources and became an advocate for women writers and employees of color.
A playwright and a published writer, Rita’s plays were produced at Actors Theatre of Louisville, the MeX Theater at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, University of Louisville Theatre and the Market House Theatre in Paducah, Kentucky.
She received grants from The Kentucky Foundation for Women, Tennessee Williams Playwright Scholarship from Sewanee’s Writers Conference, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Pilgrim Project of New York and the University of Louisville Women’s Center.
“Though she found her writer’s voice later in life, Rita knew exactly what she wanted to say. Her writing demonstrated her commitment to changing minds and hearts, and conveyed the honesty and integrity forged by her own history, growing up in rural South Carolina in the 1930s,” said Robin R. Harris, Co-Chair of the Kentucky Women’s Book Festival.
“Rita’s understanding of the challenges our community faced related to issues of diversity and equity always informed her work,” said Harris. “From her first published play, Lady of the House, performed at the Martin Experimental Theatre at the Kentucky Center, to Black Hamlets in the Kentucky Bluegrass, performed at the 2008 Juneteenth Festival at Actors Theatre of Louisville, to her final book project in 2015, Voices from Historical African American Communities near Louisville, Kentucky, Rita championed women’s rights and social justice.”
Rita wasn’t concerned with her own success. She wanted to help others succeed. “Once she found her literary groove back in the early 90’s, she took off slowly yet methodically towards a path of helping to define sacred spaces where Kentucky women writers could create, grow and follow a trajectory of social change through the arts,” said Mary E. Jefferson, a Louisville writer, educator and business consultant from Appalachia.
One such space was Women Who Write, co-founded in May 1992 by Rita and the U of L Women’s Center. WWW is a non-profit organization for women writers in Louisville with the goal of welcoming, educating and supporting all women who aspire to write and being the “go-to” place for women writers.
Jefferson said Women Who Write would not have been birthed and nurtured without Rita’s vision and activism. “As a “woke” woman of color, who discovered her writing voice later in life, Rita exemplified fairness, humility and artistic acumen for all women and girls who dream of self-discovery through the windows of their own worldviews,” said Jefferson.
Harris said Rita talked to friends and colleagues about her dream to create a festival dedicated to showcasing Kentucky’s women writers. Her dream became reality in September 2006, with the first Kentucky Women’s Book Festival, a project that required energy, imagination, and diligence. From 2006 through 2016, Rita remained actively involved in the festival’s planning process.
“When Rita moved to the west coast in 2017 to be near family, those of us on the planning committee pledged to continue the festival, always with Rita’s spirit at the forefront,” said Harris.
She first met Rita in 1999 through the President’s Commission on the Status of Women at the University of Louisville. “A true leader, Rita set the standard of excellence with her dedication to changing in a fundamental way the “status of women” at U of L. As we collaborated on projects designed to chip away at the sexist underpinnings of the university, I learned from Rita the power of gentle, but determined, persuasion,” said Harris.
Prafula Sheth worked with Rita at University of Louisville and witnessed her efforts to empower women employees of color by creating gatherings designed to share concerns, problems and positive suggestions. The Transformation Tea for Women of Color & Their Allies began in 1997. The gathering included lectures on topics including finances, salary negotiation, and dealing with difficult people.
“Rita believed no one was in charge of you but you. She helped lift up women in staff roles and help them aspire to the next level,” said Sheth. “Through the Transformation Teas, Rita helped women rewrite the path they were on. Women of color had a chance to meet each other and learn how to be whoever they wanted to be. It created an environment of equality.”
Rita’s impact was also felt on a personal level. KFW founder Sallie Bingham said, “Rita was important to me on a personal level because of her support when we were both working at the Courier-Journal. But far more important, she was both a link and a force for the feminist movement in Kentucky.”
Diane Cameron Lawrence met Rita when she called her with an idea for a radio program. They went on to produce a radio documentary about the black hamlets (small enclaves) in Kentucky that won that category in the Kentucky AP Awards in 1998.
“It was on long drives around Lexington, as we searched for and discovered these hamlets, as we interviewed residents, as we stopped for picnic lunches, that I got to known Rita. I learned she grew up in poverty, a sharecropper’s daughter in a small, segregated South Carolina community. The only way her family could buy its way out of that punishing system was for her mother, a talented seamstress, to travel to New York City for several winters and hire out to earn extra money. The only possession she had of her mother’s was a hat with a veil. I heard stories about life after she left South Carolina, now married to a military man. What it was like to live in Morocco with six kids as her husband, Albert, served in the military. What travelling to China meant to her. In these ways and so many more, she made her way in the world far beyond what her beginnings might have suggested,” said Lawrence.
Rita was the first person who suggested that Lawrence branch out from journalism and try fiction. “She encouraged so many women to write and explore their creativity. When two of her plays were produced at Actors Theatre and sold out the house, none of us was surprised at what she had accomplished . . . . Rita valued her family, her friendships, education, civil rights, feminism, history and creativity. She was an amazing woman. I was incredibly blessed to know her. I miss her so much. I will think about her for the rest of my life,” said Lawrence.
Jones received the 2006 Sallie Bingham Award from the Kentucky Foundation for Women for her work creating positive social change for women. Her words then are a testament to her legacy: “I will never forget what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, ‘If you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it.’”

Everyone is constantly talking about eating healthy and eating right. Stay away from junk food and do not binge. While that is an admirable effort and commendable for those who manage to stick to their diets, every once in a while, one must indulge in a little cheating. There is fried food, run-of-the-mill average fried food, and then there are fried foods worth breaking every diet rule for. We are not talking about the occasional samosa or tempura but some really delicious dishes worth every single calorie that comes with it. These are some of the city’s tastiest fried treats.
Assorted Seafood Fritters at Smoke House Deli – These plump, crispy golden fritters are the perfect snack to munch on before your main meal. There is prawn, fish and squid that is batter fried and served with a chilli sour cream dip.
Mutton Cutlets at Café Military – Parsis absolutely love fried food and the perfect testament to this is their beautiful mutton cutlets: minced meat, perfectly spiced and fried until they have a nice fried layer (or ‘lace’, as it is called) around it. Best eaten with hot chapatis or even on their own, Café Military does them exceptionally well but you could also find these at any Parsi or Irani café/restaurant.
Prawn Koliwada at Jai Hind Lunch Home – This restaurant has several outlets and is fantastic for their coastal seafood dishes. While they have an excellent stuffed bombil (bombay duck) that deserves a special mention, it is the prawn koliwada that will really steal your heart. Served hot and fresh off the stove with a cool mint chutney to accompany it, this crunchy starter is delicious. It is also quite addictive, so don’t be surprised if you end up ordering more portions than you meant to.
Bacon Fries at Between Breads – Crispy fried pieces of bacon generously garnished over golden fries is what some people would call a match made in heaven. Between Breads might be the only place in the city that came up with this ingenious combination, and actually pulled it off without either of the two elements getting soggy. It is the perfect accompaniment to their juicy burgers or can even be eaten as a snack by itself.
Chicken Waffles at Ellipsis – While this might sound like the oddest combination of sweet and savoury, Ellipsis is the only place in the city that pulls it off. Not only that, but they churn out an exceptional dish. Fat, juicy and perfectly crispy pieces of fried chicken sit on a bed of waffles served with maple syrup and a bit of spice. This dish is the brainchild of Chef Kelvin Cheung and is nearly two years old, but it is a classic and one of their most popular dishes on the menu.
Beer-Battered Onion Rings at Woodside Inn – Anything that has the words ‘beer battered’ in its description is bound to be a winner. Woodside Inn is famous for many of their dishes, especially their burgers. However, when it comes to fried goodness, it is really their beer-battered onion rings that is the dish to indulge in. It is the perfect accompaniment to a chilled beer but, if you are anything like us, you will finish a plate of these before the beer can get to your table.
Fish and Chips at Indigo Deli – One of the best comfort meals you can have is a big plate of fish and chips. Indigo Deli does a brilliant version of this English classic, and it really is fried food heaven. The fish is excellent and the chips are more like French fries and the dish comes served with tartar sauce and malt vinegar. You could opt for a crumb or batter-fried version of the fish. Either way, it is delicious and quite a meal!
Crispy Quail 65 at The Bombay Canteen – This is the latest addition to the ever-changing and evolving menu at The Bombay Canteen. Not only is it a pleasure to see quail on the menu instead of chicken, but this fried 65 version is stellar. Crispy and garnished with curry patta, red onions and red chilli tadka, it is best to just grab a piece and bite right into it.

Tunisia's industry minister said on Friday the industrial sector, the most labor intensive one in the country, is expected to be hit by the world downturn in 2009, and called on local firms to reform structures and enhance productivity.
"We expect that 2009 will be a difficult year for our companies as the country's industrial sector was under pressure of the global financial and economic crisis since November," Industry Minister Afif Chelbi was quoted by the official TAP news agency assaying.
"So it's important for our companies to improve their productivity, to list on Tunisia's bourse and restructure their financial structures in order to upgrade their competitiveness," Chelbi added.
The crisis, however, will create new chances for Tunisian firms to improve their positioning as a good destination for foreign cash as they offer qualified workforce with costs lower than those by eastern European countries after they joined the European Union(EU), according to the minister.
The country drew 352.3 million dinars (250.92 million U.S. dollars) over the first nine months this year, creating 10,149 jobs, according to government data.
The North African country eyes to double industrial exports, especially to the European bloc, its main trade partner, to 30 billion dinars by 2016.
Tunisia, whose industry accounts for 28 percent of the national wealth, launched an upgrading competitiveness program in 1996 to provide local firms with the needed financial and technical aid in order to improve productivity. (1 U.S. dollar = 1.404 dinar)

Preview: Adventure Quest 3D - Trust Me That's NOT a Chicken
I do a lot of previews. So does Jason Winter. They usually follow the same format. Private previews mean we get on Skype with a team and they either stream their gameplay to us and we can ask questions or we actually have access to the game and walk around with the dev team while hearing the latest and greatest about a game's upcoming content. More "public" press previews have a bunch of press from various sites in a private Twitch or YouTube stream and it's a big group call. Either way they usually follow the same format: we're shown something, we ask questions, we move on to something else, ask questions, then finish with a more generic Q&A. Some companies have very personable people driving the presentation, some may not. It's nice to get acces to things early to tell you, our readers, about them, but you really never know if the presentation will be interesting or not headed into them.
When you talk about a game that you aren't all that familiar with (such as my being not very familiar with Adventure Quest in any incarnation) then you REALLY don't know what you're walking into. I never really played AdventureQuest. Many of you have and may have for a long time as the Flash version has been around since 2002. Some of you probably migrated (or played both) when AdventureQuest Worlds dropped in 2008. Yeah, believe it or not I was never one of the literally MILLIONS that played these titles. I don't have a good reason either. Perhaps I was wrapped up in other MMORPGs at the time and never really knew it existed.
On that note, I wasn't even watching Adventure Quest 3D's development at all until a lot of MMOBombers kept emailing me about the game and if we had any information. I really didn't know what I was getting into when I stepped into my preview this week with the team at Artix Entertainment...and boy was this presentation a bit different...in a great way.
I probably spent about an hour hanging out with Adam Bohn (you AQ players know him as Artix von Krieger) and team wandering the world of AQ3D and chatting gaming. Literally. Yes, we talked about AQ3D, we talked about the massive undertaking that it is for a small company to try and unify iOS, Android, and PC players into the same world, we chatted about the game's class system where players can swap classes on the fly and in the future may have to unlock multiple classes to get a final class they really want (think unlocking Gladiator and Conjurer in FFXIV to get a Paladin and you have the idea), and more. But we also traded stories about the gaming industry, Artix's devastation when Unity decided to no longer support Flash in 2013, and other items.
This preview seriously felt like a bunch of gamers sitting around swapping stories about their gaming pasts and the industry as a whole. I learned quite a bit about AQ3D in the process.
First, AQ3D may seem simplistic at first and compared to some other MMORPGs out there, maybe it is. But do not make the mistake of thinking that means it is easy. The big, vibrant, colorful world is impressive. Even more so when you consider that this is Artix's first foray into the third dimension. Long time AQ players will likely "Sqwee" a little the first time they see the city of Battleon in 3D. The game's fast load times in between zoning into dungeons, shops, and other locales is a testament to the programming behind the system that actually dynamically loads and unloads assets as you come across them. The game's fast travel system lets you jump to almost any map in the game to group up quickly, and future enhancements will allow friends (regardless of platform) to send codes to each other so that you can instantly jump to your friend's location and play together.
And that's the name of the game, playing together quickly. AQ3D is its own story. It's not a continuation of previous games in the franchise. In this version, Artix has put the focus on quick play. Allow players to group up quickly, knock out a dungeon, and move on. Maybe you're on the go and only have a few minutes to play? No problem. The controls easily make tablet play comfortable. Swapping classes, fast travel, inventory management, gear...it all works very quickly through basically one master menu. While "Pre-Beta" continues, lots of early backers are already in game leveling up multiple classes.
Our first game experience involves chasing down a big baddie in the game's new intro sequence. Visually the game looks great and I opt to play as a Guardian. I quickly change to Mage (skipping Warrior and Rogue) and start raining fireballs and lightning on my foes. Gameplay is smooth with solid animations and very little stutter for a game this early in testing. Each time we travel the map we're thrown right into a new adventure and players will appreciate jumping right from fight to fight (with varying difficulty of course) without a lot of walking or traveling downtime.
While AQ3D will be free-to-play, the game will also feature some monetization. This will likely come in the form of an in-game cash shop but Artix ensures me that there will be no pay-to-win debate on their business. Judging by the very creative gear some players around me were wearing (including a paper bag head piece with a face drawn on it) there is going to be plenty of room for cosmetic sales.
If you want to get in on some early testing, you can become a Guardian now for $25 and score some lifetime perks.
All in all, AQ3D seems to be shaping up nicely and AQ fans are probably going to enjoy the game's transition into 3D quite a bit. But a word of warning....don't call it a chicken...in AQ3D that's a "Dricken" (dragon and chicken) and the team behind the game's passion doesn't just extend to their hard work but also to the lore of the land, so get to know your critters.
My thanks to the team at Artix for their time and their CLEARLY evident passion for gaming and their franchise. It was refreshing to see on what usually would have been a run-of-the-mill preview. You'll be able to play AQ3D on Steam, iOS, and Android devices.

1.( It hard to level up) more level in coming maybe atleast 200-250 level make it like really (DIFFICULT TO LEVEL) KILL 1 BILLION ENEMIES TO GET 1 LEVEL WHO CARES HAHAH Because Players who r in max level will be AFK AFK and waiting for updates. If u do this u guys would be have more time to do updates without making the players bored waiting on new updates (espcially those people who r in max level) just like aqw.
2. 1 stats or 4 stats every level up on the character, also putting stats on skills are included.
3. Trading (THE BEST) - Super Market -Selling Items for Gold - Giving Free Gold Giving Free Items. and more
4. More Skills make it 6 or 7? (man 4 skills really?) u cant do combo on 4 skills Sorry guys :/
5. HP AND MANA potion and drop it to 7-8 keyboard get it ? 6 would be for HP and 7 for mana lets say this things will help the character to stay Alive in battle. Well every potion are different ofcourse there weak medium and huge! xD
6. Hard Core Bosses (OMG) -IT CAN KILL PLAYER FOR ONLY 3 OR 4 HITS OMG HAHAHA takes 30 or hour to kill it and it has 0.1 drop rate u know sell them would be a great PRICE
. U know what i mean here. If the game is about making the character get strong and strong till he become a legend then people wouldn't stop playing. (I just stop playing aqw btw u just waiting on new updates :/ ) I am Hoping on AQ3D YAY!
. Rather Than Buying Rare, well Rare is good i mean very good but come on if u guys keep making a lot of items. u guys will be running out of idea of making one...
Make The game really Enjoyable surely u will get a lot of customers :) 1 more thing 'Contest' I loved it .
It just game would be really great if the player are still playing not waiting on new updates get what i mean?
I hate MMOs with a small amount of buttons, what a bore to sit there spamming a few buttons. It's one major reason why I quit WoW, they removed so many abilities.
Keeps the mind moving through monotonous grinding/raiding when you have a complex rotation, remove the complexity and you find yourself falling asleep.
Microtransactions will be optional, but if this latest iteration of Adventure Quest is anything like the older ones (and like other AE games), they should be unintrusive and not create a huge convenience gap.
For folks looking to play the game, closed and open betas will arrive later this year (http://www.aq3d.com/progress), and the current pre-beta is open to those who support AE.
There are also two wikis available if you're looking for more info: the fan-maintained aq3d.wikia.com, and the official aq-3d.wikidot.com. The wikia has game guides and friendly members who can answer your questions, and the wikidot is a good index of the items in the game.

It’s no secret that the economy of WoW has long turned into a NYSE-style arrangement. People don’t just earn their money through quests and jobs anymore. There are whole gold farms and auction houses to help you keep the cash flowing. The system is surprisingly detailed for something that, arguably, wasn’t intended by the devs.
So, let’s get a little overview of what the game’s economy is like at this point. And if that convinces you to get some extra money, you can get it through a WoW carry service.
Gold farming in World of Warcraft involves various strategies, from farming rare materials and crafting valuable items to completing daily quests or participating in economic speculation. Players employ diverse methods to amass wealth, often mastering specific niches in the in-game economy.
As such, gold farming has a significant impact on World of Warcraft's in-game economy. The influx of gold can lead to inflation, affecting item prices, trading dynamics, and overall gameplay experience. Managing the balance between rewarding players for their efforts and preventing economic instability is a constant challenge for Blizzard.
WoW Tokens were introduced in 2015. They are basically the premium currency, which could be purchased with real money and then listed on the Auction House for gold, allowing players to acquire game time, services, or items without directly spending money.
These tokens created a player-driven economy, where supply and demand for tokens influenced their gold price. Players could use tokens for game time, character services, or other in-game purchases, shaping a dynamic market where prices fluctuated based on player decisions and economic factors.
Auction Houses are central to World of Warcraft's economy, serving as hubs for buying, selling, and trading items. Players use these marketplaces to exchange goods, from weapons and armor to crafting materials and collectibles. Auction Houses facilitate a dynamic player-driven economy where supply and demand dictate prices.
When navigating an Auction House, you’ll need to understand the market trends, timing for maximum visibility, and how to strategically price items. All of that basically allows you to maximize your profits off in-game items and gold. That’s one of the prime examples of how overly zealous players pushed for the creation of stock exchanges in a game.
Blizzard plays a vital role in maintaining economic stability within World of Warcraft. They monitor the game's economy, intervene when necessary, and adjust game mechanics to counter inflation or economic imbalances. Their goal is to create an environment where players can enjoy a fair and vibrant economy.
Azeroth's economy is in a constant state of flux. New expansions, content updates, and player-driven trends continually reshape the economic landscape. As players adapt to new challenges and opportunities, the economy evolves, creating a dynamic and ever-changing marketplace within World of Warcraft.
In the end, what do you have? The WoW economy hasn’t been ‘innocent’ for a long while. If you want to roleplay earning money in the fantasy world, you can do just that. But the most effective way to get rich in an MMO RPG like that is by getting the Finance 101 course. Every part of the game’s economy is now about maximizing profits.

A Beginners Guide To Surgeries
The number of individuals seeking plastic surgery is actually on the rise these past resent years.With the increase in demand of cosmetic surgeons to perform plastic surgery it has led abrupt rise in numbers of unqualified personnel’s who term themselves as qualified cosmetic surgeons but this is not a true fact but just impostors.With the rising numbers of unqualified surgeons it has discouraged individuals from exploring the opportunity of plastic surgery.Outlined below are some tips that will help you narrow down to a cosmetic surgeon who will allow you to have the best of experience in your plastic surgery.
The first and most important thing is to talk to friends, family members and professional contacts that you may have had an opportunity of receiving these services.Take it as a personal task seek for recommendations from friends, family and professional contacts regarding the best cosmetic surgeon they know.You can always have narration of the experience that your friends and family members went through from consultation to the last point of recovery. You may also seek professional advice from nurses and doctors in regard to finding a cosmetic surgeon.

He's mentioned in the latest teasers here
, now see the face that's going to lure girls from Pax whose status will soon be set to "loser".
Introducing Brendan Maphake as Amukelani, the new guy at Turf High who turns every eye...
Ever seen him before? You might have if you watched the Lokshin Bioskop movie Ntwana Yaka because he was in that, but this is his first bigtime TV role which will now be known as his big break.
This from his character description:
Amu causes a stir when he leaves the girls smitten and all the boys feeling intimidated. He soon becomes the bane of Paxton’s existence, when a certain young lady is drawn to Amu like a moth to a flame.
He debuts on 2 February, accompanied by three other new characters who arrive in and around.
Tsietsi and Pule, played by Pholoso Mohlala and Themba Manganyi.
They're charmers who cast a spell on Eunice and Pretty, leaving Leeto and Lehasa shooting daggers.
Interesting to note: Pholoso played the role of "Hot Guy" in Season 2 of Single Galz. If you're going to get stereotyped, it's not a bad way to go.
They debut on 26 and 31 January respectively.
Also arriving soon, Nyaniso Dzedze who rises from the Ashes to Ashes to play Nkosi.
He's the owner of a security company, described as the perfect definition of "a friend in need is a friend indeed" when he quickly comes to Lehasa’s rescue in his time of need.
Will he want something in return or is he really just a good friend?
He debuts 12 February.

The Quasi-biennial Oscillation (QBO) is characterized by alternating easterly and westerly descending wind regimes at the equator. It dominates the variability of the tropical stratosphere. Although the QBO is a tropical phenomenon...it affects the stratospheric flow from pole to pole by modulating the effects of extra-tropical waves. [M. P. Baldwin et.al., 2001 (.pdf)]
The period of oscillation varies between 20 and 36 months...with an average period of about 28 months...as measured over the past half-century. The QBO index at each stratospheric level is the zonally-averaged zonal (east-west) wind. It is the most predictable inter-annual climate fluctuation on the planet.
August QBO @30mb is -14.46 (data)...three months into its nascent easterly phase. It/s expected to remain easterly through spring 2010...reaching its peak amplitude (< -25) during the heart of meteorological winter.
QBO is important b/c it determines the character of the early winter. The east phase leads to a more disturbed and warmer Arctic in December and January. During winter...QBO appears to excite the 'northern annular mode' (aka Arctic Oscillation [Thompson and Wallace, 1998 (.pdf), 2000]. Its easterly phase is represented in composites geo-potential...wind...and temperature fields by a weaker polar vortex (PV)...warmer polar temperatures...and higher geo-potential heights at hi-latitudes. In years with low solar activity...the winter PV tends to be disturbed and weak when the QBO is easterly.
Monthly sunspot activity YTD (data) has been anomalously quiet (lowest 10th percentile) 24 of the past 32 months and every month since April 2008. Top-5 sunspot analog years: 1913...1823...1811...1810...1912.
Reconstructed NAO index (Li) for '12/'13 is 1.44 and '13/'14 is 1.63... neither of which lend any support to a correlation between weak PVs with its implied -AO/-NAO and extremely low sunspot activity.
Top-5 sunspot analogs for years beginning 1950 and their D-J-F AO/NAO: 2008 (0.259/-0.08)...1954 (-0.717/-0.76)...1996 (-0.096/-0.07)...1964 (-1.125/-0.61)...1976 (-2.617/-1.04) supports the correlation.
Polar temperature varies out of phase with sunspot activity (low sunspot activity ==> warmer temperature ==> higher geo-potential heights) for winters when the QBO is easterly. Weak...'warm' PVs are less able to contain arctic air masses at hi-latitudes than cold...strong...less disturbed PVs. This suggests potentially favorable conditions this winter for arctic outbreaks leading to strong baroclinic zones developing between land and water which represent prime conditions for cyclogenesis and block-buster Nor'easters.
Easterly QBO also favors the occurrence of major winter stratospheric warmings [Holton and Tan (1980)(.pdf)]. Stratosphere warmings propagate from 10mb to the surface in ~3 weeks. Should such a warming occur mid-winter during QBO minimum...it could very well signal a cold end to meteorological winter.
Should QBO play a dominant role this winter...
- Easterly phase during low solar activity ==> favors weak PV
- Weak PV ==> high heights @ hi-latitudes
- High heights @ hi-latitudes ==> negative northern annular modes (-AO / -NAO)
- -AO / -NAO ==> arctic outbreaks + increased east coast snowfalls
- Easterly phase favors major stratospheric warmings ==> lagged arctic outbreaks
QBO analogs YTD.
1991 is currently the leading analog. Winter '91 / '92 featured +ENSO (albeit one that became strong by spring)...+AO...+NAO...and -SOI...all of which go against type for -QBO. Did anonymously high (96th percentile) monthly sunspots play an active and deciding role?
EDIT: corrected sign of Winter '91 SOI.

Already two months have passed since I left my Canadian home for Italy, although it feels like just two weeks. We 'celebrated' the beginning of February by spending the day skiing at San Simone. Turns out, it's pretty much the same as in Canada which is refreshing- it's a language that all lovers of the sport can speak and I felt quite 'at home' in the snow and the mountains. The differences were few: Italian instead of English around you, electronic ski passes instead of those annoying stickers that you can never get quite straight and wrinkle-free, and the food is exceptional. Evidently there are some mid-mountain chalets/restaurants that attract even non-skiers at mid-day just for lunch. In fact, some of Massi's friends met us today and literally walked up the mountain on foot for the food: the Italian equivalent of a 5-star Tripadvisor review. Check out the food photos below and be the judge!

ZURICH (Reuters) - The head of UBS UBSG.S, one of Europe's leading financial groups, has criticised the British government for failing to encourage banks to stay in London after Brexit, predicting that many would soon trigger plans to shift operations elsewhere.
“The UK is not really helping this process by trying to help the industry to stay in London or to do things in London,” UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti told journalists on Friday.
“I do see the danger of people being forced to trigger contingency plans,” added the CEO of Switzerland’s largest bank.
Ermotti’s remarks underline the potential impact of Britain’s departure from the European Union on one of the mainstays of its economy. Brexit could prevent groups based in London from selling financial services freely across the bloc and trigger an exodus.
An executive at Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE said this week that it was considering whether to move thousands of its staff from London.
Ermotti, whose bank employs around 5,000 staff in London, said UBS would decide whether and where to relocate staff in the coming months.
“Our timeframe for making decisions (on Brexit) is still ... probably going to be towards the end of the summer, beginning of fall, so that we can start to take concrete steps to prepare ourselves,” he said.
Ermotti said he was looking at alternative locations around Europe, including Frankfurt and Spain, where the bank already had a base. UBS has its headquarters in Zurich, outside of the European Union.
UBS has recently moved its London base to new offices in the main financial district. As well as managing the wealth of the rich, the group, with 2.2 trillion Swiss francs (1.71 trillion pounds) in assets, has an investment bank.
In January, UBS Chairman Axel Weber said around 1,000 of the bank’s London employees could be hit by Britain’s exit from the European Union, while Ermotti had previously placed the figure higher - at 20 percent to 30 percent of total jobs there.
Last month, Prime Minister Theresa May formally declared Britain’s intention to leave the EU, opening a two-year period for both side to negotiate the divorce.
Talks were expected to begin in earnest in June, although May’s surprise decision to call a snap election on June 8 has added to the uncertainty.
“Our goal would be to (keep) as many people in the UK as possible and only selectively have people in the continent, but it’s up to the UK government to come up with pragmatic ways to do that,” said Ermotti.
