What is justice: A torch leading society on an earthy road towards concretized or even somewhat cracked utopianism from the musty and muggy world or an idea that hovers around merely having a society the root of which sprouts from the watered ground of happiness quotient of its individuals. But mythos of utopianism are too slippery to be caught by our hands so habitual of dreaming about pail or more ambitiously even pond of olive and happiness of late seems to have become as extrinsic a characteristic as intrinsic once it was.
For all our claims about the idea of happiness being a state of mind on the lines of famous maxim ‘adversity is inevitable but suffering is optional’ we can’t divorce our state of mind from two crucial factors. One, the society we live in and second the state of idea of justice in our society. However reclusive and ascetic I may be my years on earth will bear the stamp of my society and its socio-economic-political structure. So irrespective of justice being a torch bringing in light into darkness laden corners of my life or a teacher trying to have me smile amidst all the odds jostling me to be a thin line on a limited size paper I as a member of a society do care for the forms of justice with all their flaws my society has adopted. In this background sometimes it becomes imperative to think over what is just society and how far are we from attaining it.
The just society is wherein the ken of justice touches upon every conceivable aspect of society. If justice is being right and fair and sense of just encapsulates what is legally or ethically right, proper and fitting then what are the hiccups in our being right and fair ethically and legally and help our society become a just society. Don’t we witness the propounding of these values all the time around us right from our childhood? If we have a model like Gandhiji to lookup to for whom the thought of ‘right’ in all its forms was more captivating and important than just snatching away freedom from an imperious society what keeps us from realizing the dream of having a society based on justness of the causes.
The thought ‘everybody is fair to everybody’ is enchanting and seems like a potential fount for all the extrinsic causes of happiness. One primary impediment to this thought is the inequality prevalent in our society which in other words is the disparity that persists between various sections of the society paramountly along religious, economic and social structure lines. This inequality leads to inequity. The branches of these disparities are now so deeply entrenched in the fiber of the societies that wrenching any society free of them is a utopian idea in itself.
Societies in themselves are a conglomeration of myriad communities sharing different and multi hued relationship with one another. How far do these relationships go in imbuing the spirit of interdependence with humanity, reverence or otherwise formulates the framework that ultimately becomes the cemented structure we call society. With the passage of time these threads have grown so stronger and robust that every hand that tried to break these threads was made to shed blood unless it held a scissor of power of one form or another entangled in its fingers. This corollary brings us to the trenchant question. If just society is an equal society then how feasible is this idea to be realized.
If we go by what Michael Sandel says who has recently released his book Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? then a community describes not just what its members have as fellow citizens but also what they are, not a relationship they choose but an attachment they discover, not merely an attribute but a constituent to their identity. Though philosophically the concept of discovering one’s identity rather than choosing seems righteous but if the same principal is baked in social hearth of reality the result can be quite horrifying in the sense that not only it reinforces the divisions of the society along community lines but also absolves one of the responsibility of having to choose an identity.
One look at society as it stands today and the idea of equality based society too appears equally ignis fatuus. The idea of society as is prevalent today springs from the notion of Orientalism more than Occidentalism. The sense of collectivism in the east and the perseverance of individualism in the west both have it in them to create societies amenable to minimum and basic laws of humanity but the spirit of oneness sometimes at the cost of individualism that thrives in the east led to creation of society that had its root in the institution of family that was always larger than the immediate family of west. Samuel Huntington had insisted that west was west long before it was modern and the sense of individualism and a tradition of individual rights and liberties to be found in the west are unique among civilized societies. Though the question of individual rights and liberties demands attention and respect its might if understood wrongly may whip the idea of society.
Much as Orientalism had been criticized by likes of John Milton who referred to ‘Orient’ as a culturally infernal place and John Stuart and James Mill who described India as depraved, immoral world populated by lost souls it has succeeded in more ways than one keeping societies from falling apart. While the individualism of west made way for better chiseling of individual being and respect for views from other side and hence the anchoring of feet that contributed to the power of nation in oriental society as it cares amply for consent than righteousness the bonding had always been greater. The large chunk of survival of idea of India which according to western observers had always been doomed to dismemberment can be ascribed to this thought. Amartya Sen in his book The Argumentative Indian asserts this characteristic of Indians wherein they have learnt to have consent on not consenting and then moving on.
In A Theory of Justice (1971), John Rawls writes that in a well-ordered society, “everyone is presumed to act justly.” John Rawls claimed that one has no right to one’s talent and gifts. It is the community that comes first and individuality, the characteristic on which occdentalism is based comes later. He goes to the extent of asking us to shed our very personhood to be part of community. The spirit of Orientalism shines through Rawls’s argument. This Orientalism has two sides: one which binds us to our community and helps us buttress the bond and second, the idea of communityhood is so strong that it leaves no space for the characteristics which can help the community only if they get the area exclusively reserved for them to be blossomed.
Gifts and talents of one’s personality are useless unless they serve the society at large but in the absence of personhood they will be left with a blank to lean on and flower. The idea of communityhood makes us go gamboling around every time an individual or a group from our community or nation achieves a distinction and has us bow our head in shame at someone from amongst us bringing ignominy and sullying the image that we want to project as a group, society or community. The kind of shame that Indian Diaspora felt after Gujarat 2002 pogrom exemplifies this sense of communityhood even after being detached from the parent community geographically. Thereby the idea of belonging to a group larger than one’s immediate group in quotidian existence always enhances one’s view of his or her personality in terms of the space or sense of contribution the larger group is capable of eliciting but on flip side too much of sinking and osmosis and much emphasized latching onto one’s community acts against the very interests of community.
My excessive bondage to my community not only makes me blind to the virtues of other communities but also seeps into me an obsessiveness that sometimes manifests in fundamentalism the vices of which are far too many to counter the virtues of communityhood. So it is incumbent on our part to know the other but not at the cost of losing the identity. Only then will we be able to look at what is not ours or what is not made to our liking with dispassionate but curious eyes. Any ineluctable entanglement to certain set of beliefs that one has learnt from his community to the extent of loosing the personhood risks only sprawling and widening the venomous chasm between insider and outsider. I fear this notion may prove dichotomous for the larger cause the needs of which may have equally to do with individualism and sense of communityhood.
It is but natural that we follow we just discussed by casting our attention on one of the principal characteristics of a society. This facet of society draws its significance from the idea of just society and we call it Liberalism. Amartya Sen writes in his recent book The idea of Justice that it (liberalism) is trying to imagine how our ideas of justice might appear to people who don’t share our background, traditions or language. Another angle that creeps in the moment I talk about a community altogether alien to my customs, culture, cuisine, attire and religion is that of cosmopolitanism.
If I happen to be at a place that doesn’t share my beliefs what should I do? Which aspects of my personality between my personhood and communityhood shall I retain and which I shed to be able to alleviate the skin of outsider? Or is it proper for me to be an outsider as long as I am there? Commonsense suggests the idea of being an insider is always better than outsider if the stay lasts longer than usual. But how do I become insider? Sen argues in his book that we should adopt what Adam Smith called the perspective of the “impartial spectator”. He cites that what seems commonplace to an American might look quite barbaric to a European e.g. the absence of universal health care. What seems natural in some parts of Africa like female circumcision would be a violation of human rights elsewhere.
Once I come to terms with these disparities it becomes easy for me to see the truth as it is and seek my place in the new cauldron with my dignity intact. Any society that espouses the principles of heterodoxy and pluralism will always be an easy one for an outsider to find place in. The spirit of cosmopolitanism seeks an extension to liberalism in regards with one‘s view towards his or her society and society that is perceived as other. Only then the cosmopolitanism has in it to replace this otherism with commonism.
The dualism of culture that propagates thoughts like ‘culture that is ours and culture that is theirs’ will never transform into a uniformized idea and more so when distance plays the role in offering an objective view of what had always been a part until cosmopolitanism drew on the basics of heterodoxy and pluralism. The part that is indigenous will have to start looking at what is alien from their indigenous point of view to consolidate the spirit of indigenousness and hence cosmopolitanism too. No cosmopolitanism or libertinism is complete without the spirit of humanism.
In a lecture delivered after 25 years of the publication of his Orientism Edward Said had said, “by humanism I mean first of all attempting to dissolve Blake's mind-forged manacles so as to be able to use one's mind historically and rationally for the purposes of reflective understanding. Our role is to widen the field of discussion.” Said emphasized that there is nothing like an isolated humanist. Same can be said of a just society.
These notions of just society may be universal but it has equally to do with the idea of being in tune with nature and climate of the place.
One can’t help agreeing with Sandel when he says, “political philosophy cannot resolve our disagreements once and for all but it can give shape to the arguments we have, and bring moral clarity to the alternatives we confront as democratic citizens.”
That is the key. How we bring moral clarity to our thoughts while being member of a society that is still not ours. Though the theory goes only as far as we are sure of the serrated corners of morality.
Sen is right in saying that all what we can have is a progression towards a just society. That brings us to the truth that the idea of just if understood in the exacting context of a society is a chimera. The hierarchies and levels at which a society works may be undesirable but quite necessary for the normal functioning of the society. Every layer and level frame-worked within the defined laws and spirit of righteousness is like building housing a certain section of people. The demolition of this building will uproot the dwellers while at the same time giving them an opportunity to go in search of a better or worse place but what is worth noting is that neighbors too will to their chagrin or pleasure feel the change. Much awkward as it may sound a sweeper is as integral a part of society as the prime minister. We can’t escape the uncomfortable truth that inequality in terms of wealth, position, place, prestige and respect that flows from these inequities will keep confronting us with the idea of justice standing mute.
We all have heard that no occupation is smaller so long as it doesn’t involve unlawful means. But given the complexities and lack of perfection in terms of growth of human mind thanks to dismal state of education one always tend to have prejudices. In addition to these all pervading prejudices are the natural human ills that beset our societies. All these combined made for the need of a system that could help those in need of justice. With the passage of time the idea of justice that had arisen from disputes gave way to a more fundamental thought which was equally concerned with welfare of humans.
So quite paradoxically inequality though an indispensable need for society breeds injustice. And so long as injustice is there justice will have to feature in the working of a society. The challenge before a just society is to ensure perfect justice which as said earlier is a concept divorced from truth. Even in Ram Rajya, the most impeccable form of just rule queen Sita had to bear hardships for no fault of hers though in the name of justice. The idea of society is integrated with idea of injustice and hence justice too. That makes us accept the reality. To 20th-century American jurist Learned Hand justice was not greater than the tolerable accommodation of the conflicting interests of society. The closest we can go towards creating a just society is by trying to remove and eliminate all the visible, tangible and invisible and intangible forms of injustices with vigor.
The concept of democracy and secularism that our nation adopted after the independence does encompass in it the broader tenets of a just society but is still found wanting in the precision and finer details. Democracy in our country couldn’t prevent oppression and regressive thought. Though poverty is a curse afflicting our country but that is something a democratic country will always have to live with at least in modicum for myriad reasons but what is objectionable is the way democracy has come in the way of idea of justice for the simple reason that sometimes majoritarianism is in conflict with justness of a cause.
Just is what is right and democracy allows the right to be called wrong if it is said so by maximum majority. A democratic society may go for death penalty even though the idea of justice may not be in sync with the thought. Same way a just society may not have a criminal as their leader but as we are witnessing democracy allows such a situation to exist. This conflict of democracy with justness of society can be solved to some extent by having a liberal and pluralistic majority the genesis of which lies in an erudite and educated society.
The disparity in a society on accounts of caste, class, religion, creed, gender, sense of communityhood and even color has long existed. Of all the struggles that have been waged over the centuries to either stamp out these disparities or mitigate their effect on the collective psyche of the society only those which were a direct conflict between two absolute dissimilar groups like Asians and Europeans were able to make some dent into existing conventions and modus vivendi.
Most often whenever the disparity had been challenged by a smaller group with in the larger group the rate of success had always been much lower than satisfactory or the degree of effort and sacrifices required was much greater comparatively. As a result of which it was much easier to obliterate color divisions than caste or class divisions. In color division the striving was most often between two altogether distinct groups. Unfortunately to whack our newly found beliefs we have seen a revisit to color barriers once again in the form of racial attacks in Australia.
In class and caste the nature of barriers is such that if a low caste citizen so perennially at the mercy of other castes somehow becomes high class by dint of hard work or in the days of reservation a reserved class it would want to maintain the status quo rather than demolishing it. With the rise in education and affluent Indian middle class we can hope that may be half a century later a significant chunk of caste barriers will fade away behind class barriers (more formidable than caste barriers) at least in the Indian middle classes. Everyone who has access to education through financial means regardless of the caste now can afford to rise up the social mobility and two or three generations later can even afford to forget the downtrodden past. Recently in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai district Dalits were permitted to pray in a temple breaking age old taboos.
Akbar held that it is the pursuit of reason not reliance on tradition that has in it to address the difficult social problems. Akbar told his friend Abul Fazal, a formidable scholar in Sanskrit as well as Persian:
“The pursuit of reason and rejection of traditionalism are so brilliantly patent as to be above the need of argument. If traditionalism were proper the prophets would merely have followed their own elders and not come up with new messages. Akbar was so enamored with his thought that he called it the path of reason (Rahi Aql) and insisted on the need for open dialogue and free choice.”
The attitude of questioning various paradigms of thought not only opens before us the new avenues of possibilities but also takes us to the paths leading us to those possibilities and in turn to new modern world comparable to what had been existing. Not every thing new needs to be a complete departure from old but weighing of old and new will help us comprehend the finer distinctions between at least as perceived-by-our-reasoning right and wrong and justice and injustice with greater credibility and more précised thought. Those chariots of democracy which are driven only with the leash of majoritarianism without the stick of reasoning are bound to stray off the right path and make the charioteer lose his way.
Philosopher Robert C. Solomon, author of A Passion for Justice (1995) suggested “the sense of justice emerges as a generalization and eventually a rationalization of a personal sense of injustice.” Society as we call it had never been an idea to be influenced by an individual. The day society began to be influenced by an individual or a group to see its amorphousness be shaped in a manner appealing to intellectual senses was the beginning of its journey towards making itself just and taking in the idea of justice for a cause that was integrated with the idea of a society. This journey is an interminable journey.

Rokide® Spray Units and Rods
Featured Product from Saint-Gobain Coating Solutions
The ROKIDE® Spray System is unique because it utilizes ceramic oxide rods. The rods are melted in a patented spray unit which projects the fully molten particles onto the substrate. The ROKIDE® particles cannot leave the spray unit until fully molten. These particles have high kinetic energy and high thermal mass, so they remain molten until they reach the substrate.
ROKIDE® coatings have higher particle-to-particle cohesive bonding. Powder systems, by contrast, project smaller particles into a high-temperature gas stream and the lower dwell time does not allow all the powder particles to melt completely.
The deposit efficiency of the ROKIDE® system is not dependent on the thickness of the coating. Therefore, thicker coatings -- greater than .030 inch (.8 mm) -- if required, can be applied without a reduction in deposit efficiency or quality.
Rokide® rods are available in many ceramic oxide compositions for a wide range of applications. ROKIDE® rods are sprayed through portable ROKIDE® spray units driven by electricity. The surface to be coated is given an initial grit or pressure blasting with aluminum oxide to clean and roughen it. For proper roughness, the surface should have a hardness less than Rockwell C-50. This assures maximum adherence of the ceramic coating that may range from 0.005" (.127 mm) to 0.030 (0.8 mm) thick. Grit blasting is followed with a nickel chrome or other undercoat for increased bond strength and to minimize problems associated with the differential of thermal expansion between metals and ceramics. The base material should be able to withstand coating temperatures of 200-350°F (90-175°C). ROKIDE® coated surfaces can be ground to excellent surface finishes. They can be ground to as low as 2 to 4 RA using standard grinding equipment with properly specified silicon carbide or diamond grinding wheels. Flatness readings of less than 3 helium light bands are achievable using standard industrial lapping equipment. Complete information on proper ceramic grinding and lapping techniques can be provided.
ROKIDE® ceramic coatings, in conjunction with metal spray coatings, can be applied to metals to form a metal/ceramic composite with a controlled thermal gradient. This technique has proven successful in producing composites with varying heat transfer and insulation characteristics required for various applications.
For special applications where enhanced electrical or corrosion resistant properties are required, impregnants can be used to fill the 1-2 micron pores of some ROKIDE® coatings. Epoxy, phenolic, polyester and silicone resin sealants have been used successfully.
Rokide® rods are available in Aluminum Oxide, Chromium oxide and Zirconium oxide.

Other Classroom Pet Tips to Keep in Mind
Before bringing any pet into the classroom, teachers should make sure to do their research into the care requirements for the pet, as well as any diseases that may be transferred from the particular animal to people. According to Dr. Fobian, the animal should see a veterinarian yearly, especially before entering a classroom for the first time, to confirm there is no evidence of dental conditions, skin problems, or parasites. He adds that many clinics will check classroom pets at no charge, so educators should talk to their veterinarian about this option to help prevent any issues with their animals.
Once a pet is brought into the classroom, their eating habits, bowel movements, and overall health should be monitored to make sure there are not any issues of illness or discomfort in a classroom environment. Fobian also stresses the importance of having a plan for the animal during summers, holiday breaks, and vacations to make sure that the pet is housed in a suitable environment and cared for properly year-round.
“There are a lot of things an instructor needs to be aware of, and they need to think ahead, particularly with geriatric pets,” says Dr. Fobian. “Make sure they’re in a good environment and know they can be taken care of and come back for the following school year.”

Delfi Properties offers a wide range of properties available for online auctions across Greece and Cyprus in most asset types. Our dedicated e-auctions professionals are available to provide additional information on the properties available on the market and they are ready to guide you throughout the process.
Buying property via an e-auction offers several benefits:
When an online auction is taking place, the reserved price, is estimated by a certified valuer as a part of the confiscation procedure. In case of no winning bidder, the auction is repeated within 40 days. If the property is not awarded again, a new auction can be held within 30 days at a reduced reserved price.
The potential buyer is able to purchase the property of interest at a lower price through e-auction.
The participants do not need to go through the complicated transaction procedure, for example collecting all the required documents for the purchase contract.
As the auction is conducted online, buyers can participate from anywhere in the country, to purchase properties that strike them as sound investments among the various listed options.
The e-auction procedure is simple. The potential bidder is smoothly guided and supported through the process and gets the best out of his participation.
Everyone has their opportunity to place their bids, rather than a first come first served environment. Developers, government institutions and banks provide detailed information without withholding any details.
Online property auctions have a longer completion timeline, giving the buyer time to sort mortgage finance.
Potential encumbrances that existed on the property, after its purchase by auction, they are eliminated.
The higher bidder shall bear the notary’s fees/expenses.
You can participate in two or more online auctions at the same time.
Once the auction has finished you can check the final ranking table that includes all participating bidders. However, you can always contact the Auction Officer.
If you are not the successful bidder, you are allowed to claim your deposit. You have to contact the Auction Officer for the refund procedure.
Even though online auction is a standard procedure, it is advisable to consult your lawyer in order to be informed and legally covered.
You need to sign up at the eauction.gr platform in order to be able to participate in the electronic auctions as a bidder.
If you don’t have a Greek VAT number, you need to choose an auction that you would like to participate and enter your details. In order to complete your registration, you need to send by post the documents that certify the validity of the information you have entered.
To participate, you will need to login to the system using the log in details you have provided.
The responsible Auction Officer has the obligation to check the validity of the application. You have the obligation to send by mail (and/or in person) the following supporting documents at the Auction Officer’s office:
Application approval by Auction officer
The responsible Auction Officer has the obligation to check the validity of the application.
After the Auction Officer checks the documentation, you will be informed by email about the status of your application.
In order to be able to bid you will be asked for an additional security step. A code will be send to the mobile phone you have provided.
After the completion of the online auction, no more and/or new bids are allowed. The final ranking will be shown in your screen. The system gives you the option to view the bidding history as well as the winning bid and other important info. As a bidder, you can contact the Auction Officer and receive the bidding report.
If you are the successful bidder, you will be informed by the Auction Officer of the following steps. The remaining bid amount should be deposited along with a fee for the service within 10 working days from the auction date.
The Auction Officer prepares the summary of the allocation report which is transcribed to the relevant land registry/ cadastral office.

The Neo-Pasinetti Theorem in Cambridge and Kaleckian Models of Growth and Distribution
AbstractKaldor's neo-Pasinetti theorem is examined in an economy where the rate of profit adjusts to higher effective demand through increases in the rate of capacity utilization rather than through increases in the margin of profit. A Tobinian investment function, where investment responds to the valuation ratio, is then introduced along with Kaleckian elements, investment depending also on the rate of utilization. It is shown that in such a modified model, the Keynesian-Kaleckian results are quite robust.

Cream of the Crop is certainly an aptly named game. If you’re in the mood for a cool way to pass an afternoon, Cream of the Crop has you covered. This five reel, twenty payline video slot machine offers hours of fun and excitement for players all across the country. It sports an adorable farming and agriculture motif complete with vegetables such as carrots, radishes, rabbits, and beets, rather than the usual cherries, lemons, bars, and sevens. Unlike more typical video slot games, the reels aren’t spun into place; seeds will fall from the sky and plant themselves in the dirt, then quickly sprout to create your “garden” of reels.
Cream of the Crop works just like most other five reel video slot machines. First, you decide how many credits you will bet, between 1 and 25. Then, you choose how many credits you want per line, a number between one and ten. Finally, choose the lines you’re going to use per spin, then you can let the reels fly! If at least three of the symbols match up, you’ve won. Matching flowers gives out the smallest payments. Matching the various kinds of vegetables, such as red peppers, earns you mid-tier payouts. The big jackpots come from matching the coveted pumpkins and glowing cobs of corn. Sometimes, you might land on a rabbit. Rabbits are wild symbols, and if you manage to make a match with a rabbit, it will hop down the column it appeared in, making the vegetables in that column wild too. This could immensely multiply your winnings, giving you an amazingly lucky break!
Sometimes you will see treasure chests in your garden. If you match up three of them, you’ll earn a chance at Cream of the Crop’s bonus game. In the bonus round, signs will litter the soil of your garden rather than the usual crops. You must seek out a hidden treasure chest in the dirt to win extra credits instantly, which will keep the fun going on the main slots. Along the way, you will find Try to stay away from the weeds, because finding one will end your bonus game and send you back to the slots.
So, if you are looking for a way to pass some time and press your luck with a video slot machine, try Cream of the Crop for its unique, clever reel design and intriguing, fast-paced gameplay.

In what perhaps signals the end of the road for the party in Telangana, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is unlikely to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state. After facing a drubbing against the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in last year assembly elections (TDP win 2 out of 119 sets), the party has now decided to not contest, and is likely to support the Congress instead, informed senior leaders.
TDP leaders from Andhra Pradesh also said that they had been avoiding mud-slinging on Telangana as a state, given that party chief N. Chandrababu Naidu wanted the Telugu Desam Party to be active in both states. “But with us not contesting in Telangana, we will go all out to raise the issue of ‘Andhra pride’ at the cost of criticizing Telangana its chief minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR)," a senior TDP leader, who did not want to be identified, told Mint.
The TDP leader informed that his party was earlier contemplating to contest the Malkajgiri, Khammam and Secunderabad Lok Sabha seats (out of 17 seats), but decided against it at the last minute. “There are lakhs of settlers (people of Andhra origin) in those constituencies. And until now, we were not really talking ill about Telangana or the government because it would have been detrimental to our interests there. However, now we will do to KCR what he did to Naidu in the 2018 Telangana assembly elections by raking up the Telangana sentiment against him," he stated.
In the 2018 Telangana assembly elections (held in November), KCR had targeted Naidu constantly in his public meetings by asking people if they wanted “Andhra" rulers again. The Congress, TDP, Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) had joined hands to take on the TRS. However, KCR had the last laugh as he led his party to a stunning victory by winning 88 of the 119 seats, while the Congress and TDP won just 19 (8 have since defected to the TRS) and two (one defected to TRS).
Even before last year’s assembly elections, the TDP was severely weakened as 12 of its sitting MLAs (who won in the 2014 state polls) had defected to the TRS, while another had shifted his loyalty to the Congress, along with a huge chunk of the party’s cadre. Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy said the Congress has appealed to the TDP for support in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
While the TDP may not be a strong force to reckon with anymore, analysts believe that it still has some influence in pockets like the Kukatpally and LB Nagar assembly seats (in the Greater Hyderabad areas, and which have a considerable chunk of people with roots in AP).
“TDP as a party and ideology have gotten sidelined, especially after the TRS came to power again. Things would have been different had the Congress won the assembly elections last year. Currently, Naidu is also facing an uphill task in AP and he would want to focus all of his energy there. If he loses this time, this could be the end of the road for him as chief minister. Coming to Telangana, it is the right decision at this stage for the TDP," opined political analyst Palwai Raghavendra Reddy.
Reddy added that the depending on the political situation later, the TDP can relook at its state and take stock of the party’s Telangana unit five years later.

Romanian police have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters in the capital, Bucharest, as tens of thousands took to the streets to call on country’s government to resign.
Friday’s rally was attended by many expatriates who returned to Romania to express their anger over what they say is entrenched high-level corruption, low wages and attempts by the ruling Social Democrat (PSD) party to weaken the judiciary.
Thousands of people also joined demonstrations in other main Romanian cities, including Cluj in the northwest, central Sibiu and Timisoara in the west.
In Bucharest, the crowd chanted “resign” and “thieves” as they assembled in a central square outside the main government building.
Messages projected on buildings around the square said “We are the people” and “No violence”.
Hundreds of the protesters tried to break through the police cordon and officers in riot gear responded with tear gas and pepper spray, forcing the demonstrators back.
At least 100 people required medical attention after inhaling the gases, while 10 police officers were injured by hurled stones and bottles, the emergency services said.
“Corruption has been a big problem in Romania for a long time,” Kit Gillet, a journalist who attended the protest in Bucharest, told Al Jazeera.
“People are angry about that and feel that the system needs to change.”
Romania ranks as one of the EU’s most corrupt states and Brussels keeps its justice system under special monitoring.
‘Nothing has changed’
Stefan and Ileana Anghel, Romanian nationals living in Spain, waved a Spanish flag after travelling across Europe to take part in the demonstration.
“Unfortunately nothing has changed in Romania,” Ileana told AFP news agency.
“We want to see modern roads and schools and above all to not have to pay bribes to the left and right,” added Ileana.
Last month Romanian President Klaus Iohannis sacked top anti-graft prosecutor Laura Codruta Kovesi, who was considered a symbol of the fight against corruption.
With Kovesi at the helm, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (DNA) had led a crackdown on corruption among local and national elected officials in recent years, earning accusations of abuse of power and the enmity of many in Romania’s political class.

‘I left to give my children a better life’
Among the protesters in Bucharest on Friday was 60-year-old Vlad and his wife who flew in from New York where they have lived for 30 years.
“Corruption and embezzlement, which profit the ruling class, are what bothers me,” said Vlad, an estate agent in the US.
“A force is being born here [at the protest] and I hope that the message is heard,” he added.
Around four million Romanians work abroad from an overall population of 20 million. Half of the expatriates are living in Italy and Spain, according to official figures.
Last year those working abroad sent 4.3bn euro ($4.9) back to their families at home, nearly 2.5 percent of the national GDP in one of Europe’s poorest countries.
“I left to give my children a better life, which was not possible here then,” said lorry driver Daniel Ostafi, 42, who moved to Italy 15 years ago in search of a future he says Romania could not offer his family.
“Unfortunately, it is still not possible, the … people who govern us are not qualified and they are corrupt,” he told Reuters news agency.
Some politicians from the ruling coalition derided the rally in the run up, saying they did not understand why the diaspora would protest.

It was nearly 70 degrees by noon on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2020, a cruel forecast considering what should have been. Indeed, the sun-blessed shores of Lake Washington on a day Husky Stadium sat empty. Michigan was supposed to be there, a fine baptism for new Washington coach Jimmy Lake, a banner opponent for what should have been the beginning of a new era and a damn lovely day for college football in the Pacific Northwest.
Such pleasantness eluded the lot of us in 2020. The Huskies couldn’t quite grasp it, either, save for a comeback victory that echoed off empty seats in late November. They were to play seven games once the Pac-12 figured out how to make football happen amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but seven quickly became six, and six became four: A de facto Pac-12 North title game at Oregon was wiped from the calendar following a COVID-19 outbreak at UW, and even after the Huskies were awarded the North title, they had to bow out of the conference championship game because of continued virus issues. A bowl game, too, was out of the question, so Lake’s first season ended with a 3-1 record — a taste, a preview, a peek, but nothing substantial enough to reveal this program’s true identity, at least not in full.
Themes emerged, regardless. The pro-style offense Lake touted seemed to favor a run-first approach, although the sample size precludes definitive conclusions. Dylan Morris took over as the starting quarterback and acquitted himself well enough in his first four college games, even leading the Huskies back from a 21-point halftime deficit for a rousing win over Utah, by far the season’s highlight. Stopping the run was a problem and has become something of a rallying point ever since for UW’s typically stout defense. Mostly, the Huskies seemed a work in progress, and it was that feeling of arrested development that inspired several players to put in one more season at Washington, hoping to redeem what was lost in 2020.
Senior tailback Sean McGrew, for example, said he made his decision to return for his bonus season “right after we saw Oregon go to the bowl game. I just wanted to come back and win a Rose Bowl and a Pac-12 championship.”
Players such as tight end Cade Otton and Jaxson Kirkland, potential NFL Draft picks, also opted to stick around as fifth-year players.
“I know they felt it was unfinished business on what happened this last fall,” Lake said. “They know we had a budding team that was just ready to break out, with only playing four games. They’re energized and enthusiastic to come back here and finish off what we didn’t get to finish last year.”
If they felt good about last year’s roster, they should like what they have in 2021, too, as the Huskies return all but four starters — 10 returning on offense, eight on defense — and with testing protocols established and vaccine doses distributed widely, there is no worry this time about whether there will be a football season. There is only wonder about what a Lake-coached team really looks like over a full schedule and just how far the Huskies were from their ceiling when last season met its unsatisfying conclusion.

Are you ready to find a puppy? We’ve teamed up with FirstVet, the 24-hour digital veterinary service, to share some top tips on how to make sure the puppy you choose is healthy and happy.
Where your puppy has been bred and raised and their early life experiences are important things to consider when choosing the right puppy for you. It’s best to choose a puppy that has been bred in a similar environment to your own home. For example, if you have children, you should get a puppy that has been bred in a family home.
When getting a puppy, you should always see them with their mother in the place where they were born. You can learn a lot about your puppy’s temperament by observing their mum. How does the puppy’s mother behave towards you? Is she friendly and confident, which is what you should be looking for, or fearful?
Choose a puppy from the litter that seems confident and is happy to approach and play with you. Here’s some signs to look for in a happy, confident puppy. They:
Each puppy will have their own unique personality - ask the breeder to describe them to help you find your perfect match.
A puppy that has been bred well and raised with care will look healthy. Use this health checklist when choosing your puppy:
Worms can be harmful to young puppies whose immune systems are still in development. For this reason, puppies should be treated for worms by the breeder, before they leave for their new homes. Make sure that your puppy has been wormed and find out what treatment they were given. Read more about worming your dog.
Need advice about worming your puppy? Speak to a FirstVet vet.
Between the ages of 4 to 16 weeks, puppies are most inquisitive and receptive to new experiences, making it an important period for your puppy to learn key life skills. This is known as puppy socialisation. Ask the breeder what experiences your puppy has been exposed to. At this stage, experiences should include being slowly introduced to different people, being handled and brushed and having their paws touched. Read more.
Some breeds of dogs are at risk of genetic disorders, including hip or elbow dysplasia and eye disease. Health screening helps to identify dogs that may be susceptible to these conditions. Do your research to find out if your chosen breed is at risk of genetic disorders. If so, ask the breeder to show you the test results for both parents.
By law, all puppies must be microchipped by the time they are eight weeks old. This means that your puppy should be microchipped before they come to live with you. The breeder will give you some paperwork with your puppy’s microchip registration details, which you will then need to update with your details. Read more.
Book a video appointment to have a chat with one of the FirstVet vets.
If you believe a pet may have been subject to poor breeding practices, please do not “save” the animal by rehoming it. Instead, walk away and report the seller to us immediately. Please refer to the full checklist for the pet you are looking for here.

Matt Harvey is set to make his third start of the season tonight as the Mets look to win their tenth consecutive game and the second of three games against the visiting Brewers. With the standard April caveat that it’s extremely early and we don’t know how things will look a few months from now, Harvey’s first two starts this year have gone better than his 2017 season did.
None of Harvey’s work looks anything like the pitcher he was before he needed surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in 2016. Brooks has his four-seam fastball averaging 92.84 miles per hour through his first two starts, down from 94.42 last year and the 95-96 averages that he had been putting up in all of his major league seasons before that. Those velocity numbers are down across the board, with his changeup, slider, and curve all 2-3 miles per hour slower than they were a few years ago.
Velocity certainly helps, but it isn’t always the entire picture. Harvey’s strikeout rate is still low at 16.3 percent, and he hasn’t eclipsed 20 percent with that rate since 2015. But in his two starts this year, his walk rate has been 4.7 percent, way down from 10.9 percent last year and 6.2 percent the year before that—and in line with the walk rates Harvey posted in 2013 and 2015. With velocity still in decline and his strikeout rate not getting any better thus far, it will be crucial for Harvey to limit walks this year.
As far as pitch usage goes this year, Harvey has leaned heavily on his fastball, as he always has, but he’s thrown a sliders 31.58 percent of the time, per Brooks. If he were to maintain that rate, or anything even close to it, it would be the highest slider usage of his career. And the pitch has done well in terms of generating swings and misses, with opposing hitters doing so 12.96 percent of the time.
Harvey’s other pitches have been a mixed bag when it comes to whiffs. The fastball has a respectable 9.18 percent rate, but his changeup and curve—which have only accounted for a small portion of his pitches thrown this year—have zero swings and misses. Add all of it up, and Harvey has a 9.4 percent swinging strike rate, which is up from last year but still a shade below the 10.2 percent average for major league starting pitchers this year. Even if he keeps doing what he’s been doing, the swinging strike rate could indicate there are better things in store for his strikeout rate.
Maybe all you need to have a little hope for Harvey is his 3.60 ERA or his 3.85 FIP. Those numbers can be deceiving this early in the season, and maybe these little things that he seems to be doing better won’t lead to success going forward. But for now, it’s good to see that some things are going better for him than they were last year.

Fujikura 70S Fusion Splicer
The 70S is the latest addition to Fujikura's fusion splicer range and has been specifically designed to be more ergonomic, faster and have greater durability than the 60S, reducing splicing time to just seven seconds.
The rugged construction design adds improved reliability by resisting shock, rain and dust, allowing it to withstand a 30 inch drop test. Two of the newest features include an automated wind protector and a tube heater which has been developed for quicker splicing cycles and to reduce the number of operational steps. The unit also includes a high-resolution LCD monitor, powerful Li-ion battery for longer operation time and built in videos for on-the-go training.
The Fujikura 70S is a fully ruggedized, core alignment fusion splicer, providing consistent, low loss, splice performance.
The new design streamlines the steps required to complete splices, resulting in greater productivity. "Configurable automation" features allow you to customize the operation of the machine to best suit your particular splicing technique and process.
A new programmable "automatic wind protector" closes and begins the splicing process after clamping the fibers in position or pressing the "set" button. Once the splice is completed, not only is the wind protector opened, but one of the sheath clamps, you decide which, is automatically raised making removal of the fibers fast and easy!
Similarly, the "clamshell" design of the tube heater clamps the splice splice protection sleeve and applies heat from both sides which results in a reduced shrink time of just 14 seconds!
- Automated and programmable wind protector
- 14-second automated tube heater
- Fully ruggedized for shock, dust and moisture
- Li-Ion battery with 200 splices/shrinks per charge
- 5 mm cleave length for splice on connector or small package needs
- Sheath clamp or fiber holder operation
- On-board training and support videos
- Internet software upgrades
- Multi-function transit case with integrated workstation

My last blog was on my flower bowl and how much I like flowers. This picture is of a carved, miniature vase with a few blossoms within.Still a flower vessel.
It is a wheel thrown piece, and doesn't even measure four inches tall.The bottom is all hand carved, and then an oxide is applied. This seems to make a nice contrast with my turquoise glaze, and it is a trademark style of mine. Actually, this is pretty big for a technical "miniature". I think the scale is one inch would be one foot. So instead of a four foot vessel, you get something you can hold in your hand and put on a tiny shelf.
I enjoy making smaller pieces. They fit my need for precious, help fill the odd spaces in the kiln,and are easy for the travelling customer. In high fire ceramics, everything you create in going to shrink, from fifteen to twenty percent. Usually the problem is that I haven't made it big enough to start with, and the end result is not the anticipated. With my small creations, I do not have to stress the end result because it comes out as it is meant to be. Good feeling, when what we do comes out just fine because we aren't worried about a precise ending. This is a nice thought to carry into life.

Moment to ‘soak it in’ as Austin City Council has final regular meeting
A meeting that otherwise seemed routine for the Austin City Council veered off script at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
In strolled the council’s version of a Hollywood celebrity, popular former Austin mayor and now state Sen. Kirk Watson, lugging with him Senate proclamations and a Texas flag for each City Council member.
“I got a little teary-eyed,” Council Member Laura Morrison said. “It was ‘Let’s all just be quiet for a minute and soak it in.’”
It was one of the few moments when the business-as-usual council paused to recognize what wasn’t routine about this meeting: It was the last time these seven at-large members would sit together for a regular council meeting.
“I’ve been so buried in the agenda I haven’t had much time for reflection,” said Council Member Chris Riley. “It’s been a great experience and a great honor to serve.”
When these seven members, including the mayor, first convened three years ago, the downtown Austin skyline was a bit barer, the city boundaries a little tighter, and the cost of living in America’s 11th-largest city was a smidgen less.
These members — four men, three women — have been mightily criticized on the campaign trail for not doing enough to solve Austin’s traffic woes or curb rising housing costs. Ultimately these key issues, hallmarks of their tenure, will be passed on to the next group, a new mayor and a pack of 10 single-member-district-elected City Council members who will take office in January.
Council Member Bill Spelman, the only current council member who also served in the 1990s, said it took him awhile this time around to put his finger on the main problem facing the city: how to deal with the number of people moving to Austin. “It will be the job of the next council to figure out how to deal with reality,” Spelman said.
Of the seven council members, only Council Member Kathie Tovo is assured a seat on the new council, representing Central Austin’s District 9. Council Member Mike Martinez, who is in a runoff race Tuesday for mayor, could also return if he wins.
Besides the Watson interlude, the council’s last meeting was taken up with many of the routine issues it had heard before: controversial zoning cases, tweaking economic incentives and tussling over Austin Energy’s renewable power goals.
But perhaps the biggest issue the council could never quite resolve was its notoriously long meetings, which a recent city auditor’s report said are nearly three times as long as peer cities. At press time, the council had not adjourned.
Mayor Lee Leffingwell said that’s a problem his successor will have to solve. At his first meeting as a council member, Leffingwell said, he was on the dais until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m.
On Thursday evening, Leffingwell predicted a midnight ending — considered relatively short by recent council standards.
Several council members talked about the camaraderie among them that hasn’t always been evident during heated discussions.
For instance, there was a time they all took bets on how long the meetings would last. Council Member Sheryl Cole said she used to lead the betting until she realized the mayor, who managed the agenda, had all the control.
“We would take bets, and then Sheryl and I would want to get home to watch TV, first it was ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ and then ‘Scandal’ premiered and we switched over,” Morrison said.
“We used to adjourn at 5:30 p.m. — a lot,” Morrison said, sounding a hopeful note for the new council.
