With an emphasis on speed and versatility, the Sony Alpha a6600 is a sleek-yet-fully-featured APS-C-format mirrorless camera well-suited for both stills and video. Sporting a revised 24.2MP CMOS sensor, the a6600 is capable of producing high-resolution photos and up to UHD 4K video with no recording time limit, more efficient processing, and faster focusing. The 4D FOCUS system, which covers 84% of the image frame, utilizes 425 phase-detection points along with 425 contrast-detection areas for especially quick and intuitive performance along with Real-time Eye AF for both photo and video. Complementing both stills and video, 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake with all mounted lenses to support working with slower shutter speeds.
Beyond imaging capabilities, the a6600 also sports a robust magnesium alloy body that is dust- and moisture-resistant to permit working in harsh environments. The compact profile incorporates a high-resolution XGA Tru-Finder 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for bright, clear, eye-level viewing, and this EVF features a 120-fps viewing mode for smooth tracking of fast-moving subjects. A rear 3.0″ 921.6k-dot touchscreen LCD monitor is also available and has a tilting design to benefit shooting from high and low working angles, and the touchscreen design allows for intuitive touch-to-focus control. For video, both headphone and microphone ports have been incorporated, too, for improved audio control. Additionally, for wireless remote control over the camera, or for just sharing imagery online, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC permits linking with a mobile device for intuitive wireless control.
4K video recording also avails the ability to produce 8MP stills during playback by taking a frame grab from a movie and storing it as a separate file.
Slow & Quick Motion:
Enhanced Zebra Function:
Time Code and User Bit Settings:
The apt 4D FOCUS system also lends itself to a variety of focusing functions for refined accuracy, including Lock-on AF, which maintains focus on moving subjects throughout the use of a configurable frame that is set over the desired moving subject, and Expand Flexible Spot, which employs neighboring focus points to retain focus on moving subjects even if the originally selected point loses focus. Autofocus can also be used in conjunction with the Focus Magnifier function for critical focus when homing in on minute subject details.
In addition to autofocus, the a6600 also features a Peaking MF function to benefit manual focus control by highlighted sharp edges of contrast for a more objective means of acquiring sharp focus.
For long focal lengths, the system will correct for pitch and yaw adjustments. Macro and high-magnification imagery, on the other hand, will benefit from the inclusion of horizontal and vertical shift compensation. All shooting styles will get usage out of the roll compensation. All 5 axes of stabilization will function at all times, even when used with third-party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilization.

Dollar Hits 7-Month Low, Stocks, Oil Retreat as Caution Reigns
Escalating tensions in the Middle East, the impending testimony of the former FBI director, British elections and a European Central Bank meeting this week, all took their toll on Asian stocks, oil and the dollar on Tuesday, reported Reuters.
Oil fell back following a brief recovery after Saudi Arabia and several other Arab states severed ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting extremism and undermining regional stability.
"A potential risk to monitor might be that Qatar will view this as being provided with less encouragement to comply with the agreed production quota," said Jameel Ahmad of futures brokerage FXTM. Stocks in Qatar plunged more than 8% overnight to their lowest since January 2016. U.S. crude CLc1 was 0.6 percent lower at $47.12 a barrel on Tuesday, after falling 0.55% on Monday.
Global benchmark Brent LCOc1 retreated 0.6 percent to $49.17, extending Monday's 1 percent slide. The dollar index touched a seven-month low ahead of testimony before Congress from former FBI director James Comey on Thursday.

- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup caster or fine sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Special equipment: a pastry brush, 6 (4-ounce) ramekins
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place the sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepot over low heat. Let the sugar dissolve. Carefully brush the walls of the pot with a little water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing on the sides. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the syrup turns golden brown. Remove from the heat promptly and carefully divide the hot caramel among the 6 ramekins. Let cool for at least 2 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and cream to just below a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix together the egg yolks, caster sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Place the mixing bowl on top of a towel to keep it from wobbling while whisking in the hot liquid. Gently whisk 2 tablespoons of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Slowly whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture 1/3 at a time, trying to prevent excess bubbles. Strain though a sieve.
- Place 6 ramekins evenly spaced in a paper towel-lined baking dish to prevent the ramekins from sliding. Pour 6 ounces into each caramel-coated ramekin. Place on the extended middle rack of the oven. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking dish until 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins. (Be careful not to get any water on the custard mixture.) Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and very gently slide it towards the center of the rack. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the custards are almost fully set. Remove from the oven. Use tongs to remove the ramekins from the hot water bath. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then refrigerate until well chilled.
- To serve, dip the ramekin in very hot water for 15 to 20 seconds. Run a sharp knife around the sides of the ramekin. Invert the custards onto serving plates. The caramel will pool around the inverted custards. Serve immediately.

EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX and PROTEASES in MORPHOGENESIS and HUMAN DISORDERS
Extracellular matrix (ECM)is the inanimate material that surrounds cells and provides a scaffold for tissue and organ architecture. ECM and cell-ECM interactions have widespread relevance to human disease.
We study the effects of abnormal ECM in birth defects affecting the neural tube, eyes, face, limbs, heart and blood vessels. Our work is relevant to several inherited connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome and to acquired disorders such as aortic aneurysms, arthritis, fibrosis, cancer and glaucoma. My laboratory also conducts fundamental research using genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and proteomics to define mechanisms of ECM assembly and turnover and their effects on cell behavior.

· Statement of Ireland's Bishops in view of the constitutional referendum ·
On 22 May the people of Ireland will vote on a referendum that could change the meaning of marriage in the Constitution. Catholic Bishops have underlined the need for deep reflection in view of the upcoming popular vote. In a statement released during their Spring General Assembly, they indicated that “marriage is of fundamental importance for children, mothers and fathers, and society”, stating further that “the union of a man and a woman in marriage, open to the procreation of children, is a gift from God who created us 'male and female'. Reason also points to the truth about human sexuality that makes the relationship between a man and a woman unique. Mothers and fathers bring different, yet complementary gifts and strengths into a child's life”.
With regard to the possible modification of the Constitution, the episcopate explained its opposition to an amendment that “redefines marriage and effectively places the union of two men, or two women, on par with the marriage relationship between a husband and wife which is open to the procreation of children”. Additionally, the prelates expressed concern that, “should the amendment be passed, it will become increasingly difficult to speak any longer in public about marriage” as a bond between a man and a woman. “What will we be expected to teach children in school about marriage? Will those who sincerely continue to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman be forced to act against their conscience?”. Along with these questions the Bishops ask that a way be found to “protect the civil rights of gay people without undermining the fundamental meaning of marriage as commonly understood across cultures, faiths and down the ages”.

Many women are skeptical about weight loss for a fear that losing too much will reduce the size of their breasts. Since a large majority of breast tissue is comprised of fat (adipose tissue), this is an understandable concern. During the initial stages of weight loss, women tend to lose fat in their breasts, especially if they have a pear shape tending to carry excess body fat in the buttocks, hips, and thighs.
Pear-shaped women generally have slimmer upper bodies with smaller breasts but during weight gain, their breasts tend to grow introducing curves that most of these women want to keep. Now, apple-shaped women are different, tending to carry most of their weight in the breasts, midsection, and abdomen. Although apple-shaped women may also lose breast tissue during weight loss, it’s usually not a huge concern.
Regardless of whether a woman has a pear or an apple shape, it’s important to understand that fat loss may inevitably lead to a reduction in breast size.
So, what can be done to prevent this?
Well, here are three highly effective tips for losing weight without losing the boobs.
Strengthen and tone the pectoral muscles. These are the chest muscles that lie just underneath the breasts. With targeted resistance (weight) training exercises the pectoral muscles tend to become firmer, which really helps to lift and perk up the breasts. For maximum effectiveness, perform 2-3 sets of the following exercises, all of which require little to no equipment.
Incline Dumbbell Press
The dumbbell press is an excellent exercise for isolating the upper pectorals, which greatly enhances the cleavage area. You can perform this exercise by lying on a bench set at an angle between 45 and 60 degrees with the elbows bent. To complete the movement, extend your arms until the dumbbells touch and then lower them again. This exercise also works the front of the shoulder as well as the triceps muscles on the back of the arms.
Incline Dumbbell Flys
Working the pectorals with dumbbell flys is an excellent way to develop fullness in the chest area giving an appearance of firmer shapelier breasts. You can perform dumbbell flys on an incline bench set at an angle between 45 and 60 degrees or on a stability ball.
Start by holding the dumbbells with your arms slightly bent and then lower them until your elbows are at shoulder height. Complete the movement by raising the dumbbells again. This exercise also strengthens the front of the shoulders.
Standard or Modified Push-Ups
Push-ups greatly build up the pectorals giving an overall appearance of larger boobs. To perform standard push-ups, start in a horizontal lying position, face down with your body supported by your hands and feet. Once you’re in this position, lower your chest to the floor with your back straight and then return to the starting position.
Modified push-ups are performed the same way except your body is supported by your hands and knees. Similar to the incline bench press, push-ups also work the front of the shoulder and the triceps. To focus more on the upper pectorals, elevate your feet on a bench or stability ball.
You should perform these three exercises in consecutive order, 2-3 nonconsecutive days each week. When performing the incline dumbbell press and flys, use heavier loads that fatigue your muscles within 8-10 repetitions. For push-ups, you can perform anywhere between 15 and 25 repetitions.
To balance out your chest work, you should also perform 2-3 sets of weight training exercises targeting the back, shoulders, and arms (lat pull-down, row, shoulder press, triceps dip, and biceps curl) in addition to exercises targeting the buttocks, hips, thighs, and legs (squat, lunges, leg extensions, and leg curls).
Such exercises can be performed 2-3 nonconsecutive days each week using moderate loads that fatigue your muscles within 8-12 repetitions.
Perform cardiovascular (cardio) exercise with activities that engage the upper body. Such activities include running, elliptical training, swimming, rowing, and aerobic boxing. Shoot for training at a moderate-to-high-intensity for no more than 45 minutes, 3-4 nonconsecutive days each week. This amount of cardio exercise is sufficient enough to keep your heart healthy without burning exorbitant amounts of fat.
Ensure you’re consuming adequate amounts of high-quality protein in the forms of fish and seafood, poultry, lean meats, low-fat dairy foods and/or soy products. Protein helps to preserve muscle and fuels the fat-burning process. To further enhance your fat-burning efforts for weight loss, you should regularly consume sensible portions of foods rich in healthy fats and good carbohydrates (vegetables and fruit, beans, and whole-grain food).
By following these tips, you’ll effectively rid your body of excess fat while sparing the breasts. Now, you may lose some fat in this area. But, your sculpted pectoral muscles will fill out the space beautifully and you’ll love it!

A new roughness length parameterization accounting for wind-wave (mis)alignment
Peer reviewed, Journal article
MetadataShow full item record
- Geophysical Institute
Two-way feedback occurs between offshore wind and waves. However, the influence of the waves on the wind profile remains understudied, in particular the momentum transfer between the sea surface and the atmosphere. Previous studies showed that for swell waves it is possible to have increasing wind speeds in case of aligned wind–wave directions. However, the opposite is valid for opposed wind–wave directions, where a decrease in wind velocity is observed. Up to now, this behavior has not been included in most numerical models due to the lack of an appropriate parameterization of the resulting effective roughness length. Using an extensive data set of offshore measurements in the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, we show that the wave roughness length affecting the wind is indeed dependent on the alignment between the wind and wave directions. Moreover, we propose a new roughness length parameterization, taking into account the dependence on alignment, consisting of an enhanced roughness length for increasing misalignment. Using this new roughness length parameterization in numerical models might facilitate a better representation of offshore wind, which is relevant to many applications including offshore wind energy and climate modeling.

Three adjectives that describe this book: mysterious, creative, fun
This book has all the hallmarks of a fun middle grades book. A well-meaning protagonist, his questionable friends, useless adults, creative humor, and a delicious villain who is both creepy and fun to laugh at.
I was surprised how captivating this book was. I expected it to be quirky. And it was - with details like an uncle who sleeps in the lobby because he's too lazy to go up to his bedroom and a hotel guest who looks and acts like a pirate, but isn't one. There were so many terrific quirky elements thrown in that kept Warren the 13th super fun and engaging.
But what surprised me was how captivating the plot was as a mystery. There were twists and turns and dark corridors and clues and mazes and cellars. The whole thing had a lovely, mysterious, film noir feel and I loved it.
And look at those illustrations!
Plus the layout of the book is beautiful, and will keep middle grade readers going, providing them with visual support and keeping their curiosity/engagement piqued. Check it out:
And if you aren't intrigued enough, be sure to visit the wonderfully-crafted Warren the 13th website and watch the trailer below:

All previous issued stamps of France were valid till 1914. This means that older issues can be found used very late, and even reprints are known to be used postally.
These stamps were the first stamps issued in France (1849). They were replaced by stamps with the picture of Napoleon III in 1852. However, in 1870 a similar type was re-issued in Bordeaux (due to the French-German war) and later in the whole of France (1871). Finally, it was replaced by stamps of the so-called 'Sage' type.

Finally, vampires that don't sparkle.
For spooky fiction fans of a certain age, the current vampire-virus television event "The Strain" is a return to the low-brow, campy fright-fests of our upbringing. The Swamp Thing wasn't someone you would conceivably date, and the zombies created by "The Night of the Comet" weren't exactly dreamy marriage material either.
The "strain" in question, like those historical predecessors, is a mix of biological horror story and scientific response to it — some capable and good, some not. "The Strain" features a hero who works for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Back in the real world, there have been at least three major safety breaches in recent weeks at the government-run health and research laboratories. The breaches include mismanagement of smallpox, anthrax and an extremely dangerous strain of a deadly avian flu. At their worst — and this is also the plot of horror stories — those could fall into the wrong hands and be used as biological weapons. Smallpox is an extremely efficient killer.
But even sloppy handling of such stores clearly happen more than the CDC apparently had previously known. Take the bad guys out of it: That alone could be extremely dangerous to the scientists and everyone they come into contact with.
This is one of the key organizations that works to protect us from public health outbreaks — from too-frequent food-borne illness outbreaks to mass killers, including not just smallpox but diseases like polio and measles.
The director has ordered a full review, including a panel of outside experts to verify future safety precautions are taken. That's important: The CDC's work is absolutely crucial for public health. As such, the public's trust in it must be assured.

Mahesh Babu recently made a shocking statement during the trailer launch of the film ‘Major’. When asked about his plans to act in Bollywood films, the actor said that ‘Bollywood cannot afford him’. This statement of the actor started a new debate in the film industry. However, Mahesh Babu later apologized for this statement. But social media is still buzzing with conversations on the same topic. Now, netizens are mercilessly trolling Mahesh Babu for promoting the pan masala brand by taking a dig at his controversial remarks.
Users trolled Mahesh Babu
Last year, Mahesh Babu was a part of a pan masala brand ad with Tiger Shroff. Users have now started trolling Mahesh Babu on that ad. One Twitter user wrote, “Bollywood can’t afford Mahesh Babu, but pan masala can.”
Mahesh Babu’s statement
Sarkaru Vaari Pata actor Mahesh Babu said during the program that “I have received many offers to work in Hindi films. However, I believe they cannot afford me. I have never given up or quit Telugu cinema. Haven’t considered moving to others. I’ve always imagined making films here and watching them grow, and that dream is now becoming a reality. I couldn’t be happier”.
Mahesh Babu’s fans defend Mahesh Babu’s statement
Claiming that he has always given the same reaction, but it is now being exaggerated. One of his fans wrote, “If someone doesn’t want to work in a certain place, why do we assume that person doesn’t respect them?” Another wrote, “Why do we create controversy over every statement of actors.”

African spirituality and methodism : a survey of Black members of the Thaba-Nchu Methodist Church.
The Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA) has been plagued by a number of problems. One of this problems has been the breakaway of some of its members. Some of these members have joined other churches (Mainstream and African Indigenous Churches) and others have founded their own churches. One of the major reasons for the breakaways is what I have framed lack of "African Spirituality" in the MCSA. By "African Spirituality" I imply that the African way of life does not distinguish between sacred and secular. African spirituality includes the following component elements: Belief in one God, belief in Divinities, Believe in spirits, veneration of ancestors and practice of medicine. My research in the Thaba-Nchu area confirmed the existence of this problem in the Thaba-Nchu Methodist church. There were three categories of respondents in this research: those who left the church are: those who live between two worlds (belonging to the MCSA and attending services in the African Indigenous Churches at the same time); and those who have single membership. The first two categories, unanimously agreed that the lack African spirituality and that is why they left the church or have dual membership. Ways of addressing this problem, i.e., to remedy the situation, have been suggested by the respondents, some scholars and leaders of the MCSA. These suggestions include the following: (i) singing: use of drums, clapping of hands, etc. (ii) special Sundays for prayers of healing: the church is to use people who are gifted in this, e.g. diviners, sangomas and barapelli. (iii) symbolic things like water to be used. It is hoped that if these suggestions were implemented, the problem would be addressed and the breakaways would stop or slow down and those who have dual membership would be satisfied to stick to the Thaba-Nchu Methodist Church alone. To implement these suggestions, the "top down" communication strategy adopted by the MCSA's leadership on this and other problems has to be revised, the language used must be understandable to the ordinary people (the grassroots or the marginalised) and the material must be easily accessible to them.

Currently, doctors have to diagnose chronic migraine (CM) based on clinical symptoms alone. There is no accepted biomarker for the debilitating condition. But new research found there may be one found in calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels of women with chronic migraine.
The study, published online August 23 in Neurology, found elevated levels of CGRP, a neurotransmitter that causes vasodilation, in the peripheral blood of women with CM compared with a control group of women with no history of headache. It also found it to a lesser extent in women with episodic migraine, according to Medscape. It said the results suggest that CGRP levels could serve as a biomarker for permanent trigeminovascular activation and so help diagnose chronic migraine.
"Can you imagine diagnosing and treating diabetes only on clinical grounds? That's what we do now in primary headaches. It's important to have biomarkers, not only to avoid misdiagnoses but also for treatment follow-up," Dr. Julio Pascual told Medscape. Pascual, director of the neuroscience department and professor of neurology at the University Hospital Central de Asturias in Oviedo, Spain, is the lead author of the new study.
During a migraine attack, trigeminal activation leads to release of CGRP from presynaptic nerve terminals. But according to Medscape, this is the first time research has found higher levels of CGRP outside migraine attacks and when patients had not taken medication for symptoms.
The study included 103 women with chronic migraine, 31 women with no history of headache, 43 women with episodic migraine (EM) and 14 patients with episodic cluster headaches. Researchers took blood samples from participants when they were not experiencing moderate or severe pain and had not taken medication for symptoms in the previous 24 hours. The patients were allowed to continue daily preventive medications if they were taking them, and most of the migraine sufferers were. Using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, investigators checked CGRP levels.
They found that they were significantly higher in women with CM compared to the other groups and also significantly elevated in women with a history of migraine with aura compared with those experiencing migraine without aura. The authors acknowledge that more research is needed and that there were limitations to the study. But given the need and the fact that the tests are easy and inexpensive to perform, Pascual said he believes healthcare providers will soon start checking CGRP levels routinely to follow CM patients.
"My prediction is that clinical trials in chronic migraine that include the follow-up of CGRP levels will begin soon after publication of our study," he told Medscape.
This study is not the only one to look for biomarkers tied to migraine. A recent preliminary study led by Johns Hopkins determined that measuring a fat-derived protein called adiponectin before and after migraine treatment can accurately reveal which headache victims felt pain relief. They said it might provide a biomarker for tracking treatment response.

This time it’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with David Hall’s previously unpublished illustrations for Walt Disney Productions. First published by Methuen in 1986 and with an afterword by Brian Sibley. I picked this up in a YMCA charity shop for £1.50. Sadly it has slight water damage, but I’ve been able to separate all the pages and there is no staining.
In 1939 David Hall was commissioned to create concept artwork for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. The project was shelved at that time (because of the War) and didn’t go into production until 1948. Apparently these illustrations didn’t see the light of day again until this book was published. Hall’s illustrations are fascinating – you can see the slight beginnings of the final Disney film in some places and echoes of early Mickey Mouse in some of the characters (see the mouse below). But many of the illustrations are quite menacing and nightmarish. The court scene is particularly gruesome with its guillotine and vertiginous POV. Brian Sibley’s afterword is very interesting and covers the history of Alice on film up to and including the final Disney version.

Planning for retirement is not easy and because of its complexity, you may be putting it off for the future. It’s a mistake many people make which can often lead to an unpleasant retirement. Of course, it’s best to plan early, but no matter your age, it’s best to plan now than to hold it off when it’s really too late. Here are some tips to help you get started on your road to a successful retirement.
Tip 1: Create a Budgeting Plan
Retirement confidence levels are at an all-time low, and this is mainly due to the fact that people aren’t planning on what they should be saving for retirement. A report from CBNC states that 81% of employees don’t know how much they need to retire. If you are feeling a general lack of retirement confidence or fall into the category of “unknowns”, it is most likely because you did not create a basic plan. You should start out by writing down a goal of what you think you will need for retirement. Then, check what you currently have in your retirement accounts, and determine how much you will have to save annually in order to reach your goal. This can be a very simple one paged plan. You also need to ensure that you track your progress and stay committed to your plan. Here are some tools to help you get started:
Tip 2: Protect Yourself and Your Family
Although planning for retirement is essential, you also need to focus your attention on protecting yourself and your family against potential risks. The first step is to make sure that you have the proper life insurance coverage based on your needs. Review your insurance policies at least one a year, and recognize as your life changes or a major life event occurs, you may have to change your coverage as well.
The next step is to focus on your health. A long term disability or a long term stay in a nursing home can have a huge impact on your financial wealth. Ensure that you have appropriate coverage in order to reduce this financial risk, and include health care costs into your budget plan for retirement.
Finally, make sure that you also protect your assets. Developing a diversified portfolio will help reduce the risk of your retirement savings going south along with your retirement dreams. Choosing the right investment allocation based on your financial goals, age, risk tolerance, and time horizon can play a major role in helping you plan for your retirement.

Tip 3: Explore All Your Retirement Options
Make sure to explore all of your employer-sponsored retirement plans such as 401(k) and 403(b). Many financial experts suggest creating a retirement plan through your company for multiple reasons. The first reason is because contributions are made pre-tax so they directly reduce your taxable income. Also, these contributions grow tax-deferred, so you won’t pay taxes on the gains until you withdraw the funds.
The second reason is because many employers offer a matching contribution which means that they will most likely match the exact amount that you originally invest into your retirement account. It is suggested that you invest the maximum amount of funds that your company allows so that you will receive a greater match.
Tip 4: Focus on Your Overall Financial Health
In order to increase your overall financial wellness, there are certain steps that you need to take. First, you should increase your knowledge on retirement saving options so that you are more prepared for retirement. If you are at all worried that you will not have enough income put towards your savings, then you can consider working overtime or getting a part time job in order to increase your overall income. Finally, it is essential that you create a budget or personal spending plan in order to keep track of your income and expenses, and to find ways to reduce your spending. This is a key step to achieving retirement success.
Trust the Process
Improving your overall financial well-being doesn’t happen overnight, however if you follow the steps listed above and make sure you plan ahead and stay on track of your plan, you will be on your way to retirement success. If you want to achieve your goals during retirement and have all your dreams become a reality, then you must plan in advance!

More than a decade ago, India was fascinated by the concept of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) with a view to draw in foreign direct investment, generate employment, create urban infrastructure and catapult exports. China’s efforts in this direction were spectacular. It limited the total number of SEZs, but planned to make each one of them a giant. The Government of India, however, took the route of allowing a very large number of SEZs, some of them modestly big, but most of them small. The SEZ Act 2005, in its original shape, enthused many private players to try their luck with SEZs and close to 500 projects were granted approval. However, only about 200 of them are actually operational today, the majority of them in the IT/ITES sector. Subsequent withdrawal of economic incentives with retrospective effect, change of land ratios between industrial and real estate development and further restrictive regulations on the manner of development sucked out the interest in such projects. Several of them moved to de-notify all or parts of their areas. Others felt frustrated enough to completely walk out of the SEZ concept.
Across our borders, in May 1980, China decided to develop Shenzhen as the first of its SEZs. Shenzhen then had a population of 30,000 and was the regional market town. Within a of three decades, the city has become China’s prime economic hub in the Pearl River Delta Region, just behind Beijing and Shanghai in national significance and one of the largest manufacturing bases in the world. Demographically, it is China’s largest migrant city and holds a population of more than 12 million inhabitants.
While the primary objective of SEZs was accelerated economic growth and employment through FDI and exports, the larger SEZs were also aimed at creating new urban infrastructure that would bring about urbanisation to support industrialisation.
It is widely acknowledged that every basic worker generates two to three non-basic workers that support the primary workforce with support services. Unfortunately, in a country as large as India, with a population almost matching that of China, there is no new urban development project, neither emerging out of the multi-product SEZs or outside the SEZ umbrella that can even remotely match either the size or the economy or the creative speed of China’s Shenzhen. While the global economic slowdown during the past decade contributed to the overall deceleration, the government’s own flip-flops and the irresistible desire to pour private nascent entrepreneurial wine into old, rule-bound, anti-developmental bottle deserves to be labelled one of the primary culprits.
Outside the SEZ category, the latest urban development project that has been compelled to bite the dust is the dream hill station project Lavasa. Ensconced in the hills of Pune, this was projected as the first hill station crafted in independent India, modelled on similar private developments in the United States. There appeared no reason in the beginning that the project should fail. Governmental institutions, however, by their several acts of commission and omission, ensured that Lavasa got seriously punctured. Some time back, it was reported that Hindustan Construction Company's real estate firm Lavasa Corporation was in deep financial trouble. It will face insolvency proceedings with the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) admitting a plea of lenders of the debt-ridden realty firm.
Lavasa was initiated following the Government of Maharashtra’s policy and regulations for new hill stations. A total area of 23,000 hectares comprising 18 villages was notified for the city of Lavasa and 10,500 acres were acquired. The master plan for the city, prepared by an internationally reputed planning firm, envisaged a population of 240,000 over an area of 12,500 acres. Out of this, 1,800 acres have been actually developed with support city infrastructure, over 2,200 apartments and villas, hotels and other city amenities and services. All this infrastructure is in Dasve – the first and only town built out of the five planned.
Things began to go wrong when a Ministry of Environment notification directed the Company to stop work. By the time the Government made up its mind to allow resumption of development, serious damage had been done. "The consequent delay of 1.5 years in obtaining clearances affected the project and brand Lavasa in many ways. Operations slowly came to a stand-still due to paucity of working capital and caused Lavasa's investors and partners to also step back or defer their investment plans," HCC said. The Government of Maharashtra jumped in to strike an additional blow by withdrawing the company’s Special Planning Authority (SPA) status. This had allowed it speed by providing ease in planning approvals. Today, some 10,000 people, who have moved into Lavasa, are trapped in an uncertain future. Besides, thousands of people who have invested in Lavasa have no idea what to do with their properties. Lavasa is now left with the struggle to repay its Rs 4,150 crore debt. Any new investor looking to take over and revive the project may require pumping in a starting sum of more than $ 1 billion. Unfortunately, the outside environment looks very unfavourable with a surfeit of distressed sellers and a shortage of buyers.
The myopic view about the future of such projects could be that they were private initiatives, designed like any other, for private profit. Hence, while any failure is regrettable, it is in the nature of private enterprises that they have an element of risk and a large number of such initiatives will fail. There is, therefore, no real cause of alarm. This, however, would be the most unfortunate view. Urbanisation the world over has been a necessary ingredient for rapid economic growth. India is set on the path of urbanisation. However, it is not being supported by infrastructure that would catalyse urbanisation. This is resulting in excessive demographic concentration in select urban locations, running down their infrastructure and sustainability. Clearly the country needs more viable cities.
The invitation to private sector to participate in the process of urbanisation was encouraged by the Centre as well as several State governments. This was because such projects require huge investments and a high order of entrepreneurial skill.
While the governments were clear in their objectives, the enormity of such projects and the inescapable and integral role of the government in these projects went unappreciated. These large projects are land and infrastructure-intensive. They, therefore, get heavily impacted by the role of the Centre and even more so by State governments (departments of Urban Development, PWD, Power, Water) to mention only the key departments.
Such projects are also invariably the focus of NGO ire and farmers’ grievances. They, therefore, face a barrage of litigation seeking to derail the project. If this gets combined with either government apathy or outright hostility, there is no way any of these projects would see the light of the day. Within government, bureaucratic support is difficult to come by because of the ease with which individuals can be hurt with allegations of corruption and favouritism. The best way, therefore, appears to be a multi-departmental governmental body authorised to give all clearances.
Governments must remember that these large urbanisation projects fall in a category of their own. They are nation building efforts and not the average profit-oriented venture. They are too large and complicated to stand entirely on private legs. Hence, governments need to protect them and support them. Governments must transcend the role of the regulator to be the hand-holder. If they are shy of such a role, they need to scrap programmes and schemes that promote building cities through the private sector.

The ideal state of the magnetic encoder is that the center of the rotating axis, permanent magnet and Hall element are in the same straight line, and this configuration is called share-end (Shaft End configuration). But even with the shaft-end configuration, there will actually be a slight installation error of "Shaft eccentricity".
Once shaft eccentricity occurs, the magnetic field strength detected by the Hall element will change, which will lead to errors in the angular accuracy of the detection. It is very difficult to completely eliminate shaft eccentricity. In the Share-end configuration, if the Hall element is installed in an area with a uniform transverse magnetic field, the input magnetic field strength will not change much even if there is Shaft eccentricity.
Therefore, compared with the Hall element that detects the longitudinal magnetic field strength, the Hall element that detects the transverse magnetic field strength can reduce the influence of the axis eccentricity on the Angle error.
Schematic structure of the magnetic encoder in Shaft-End configuration
Sometimes, axially magnetized permanent magnets are chosen to weaken the side leakage of the magnetic field, so as to reduce the adverse impact of the side leakage of the magnetic field on the surrounding equipment, but compared with radially magnetized magnets, the magnetic field area of the axially magnetized magnet is smaller, and the Angle error caused by shaft eccentricity is relatively larger.
As mentioned above, the advantage of the Share-end configuration is that the combination of a radial magnetizing magnet and a Hall element that detects the transverse magnetic field strength makes it easy to implement an encoder that resists Shaft eccentricity.

I'm grilling again on this Tasty Tuesday! We have fantastic neighbors. And sometimes they want to borrow our grill which means we have a hot grill to share and some time to chat while we wait. It is such a luxury to be able to cook a full meal while not heating up your kitchen during these summer months. Grilling is the best.
This side dish is perfect for the grill and perfect for your July 4th picnic or grilling party! I made a small version of this dish because I was in a hurry. But you could double your amount of orzo and veggies and have a huge side dish for a party. You will probably notice that you do not use all of your eggplant and zucchini with this recipe and that is because I didn't cook enough orzo to support all the grilled goodness. Just grill everything and cook more pasta. Or, as I will do, cook the extra veggies and use them for another dish like veggie lasagna. And toss some cherry tomatoes in with your veggies about 5 minutes before they are done to have some yummy pops of color in your dish. Throwing in some feta or mozzarella cheese is never a bad idea! Yum.
Enjoy your fresh sides this holiday week! Happy and safe celebrations to you all!

Usually Aaron takes Colton to bowling, but this time I went to watch him.
On our way there I caught a pic of a beautiful fall tree.
I'm very proud of Colton. He has picked up some great skills and is quite good!
We have had some serious rain lately... So much that our river is flooding..
I know it's hard to tell but you can see the tree in the middle and water on either side.. well to the left of the tree is actually supposed to be all sidewalk...
This is the bridge we use to walk over the water. You can see how high it is. It's almost to the bottom of the bridge.
Here is the bridge. I know it's hard to tell but the water is usually very far down. So far that we can sometimes see the bottom below the water.
There should be no water where you see it right now...
It was crazy to see all of that. Luckily that is as far as it went.

Javi Martinez to leave Bayern Munich after 9 years
Javi Martinez will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season after nine years and almost certainly nine Bundesliga titles, the German club said Tuesday.
The Spanish defensive midfielder joined Bayern in 2012 from Athletic Bilbao for what was then the German club’s record fee of 40 million euros ($48 million). His contract is due to expire June 30 and Bayern said “the club and player have mutually agreed not to extend his contract.”
Bayern has won the Bundesliga every season since Martinez arrived and can pick up a ninth consecutive title on Saturday if it beats Borussia Mönchengladbach or if second-place Leipzig loses at Borussia Dortmund. Bayern has a seven-point lead with three rounds remaining.
Martinez helped Bayern win the Champions League in 2013 and again last year, and he twice scored the winning goal in the European Super Cup.
The 32-year-old Spaniard has been more of a fringe player for Bayern in recent seasons. Of his 17 Bundesliga games this season, all but four have been as a substitute.

- ‘Man fighting in the middle of town’ is not Grand Theft Auto for iOS

“Man fighting in the middle of town” may not be the Grand Theft Auto VI we’ve been waiting for, but it’s the one 2017 deserves. The iOS game, which launched its 1.0 version yesterday initially piqued my attention through its perhaps-not-quite fair use of Grand Theft Auto V screenshots as the app icon and description photos.

Unlike the Balinese people, the people of Trunyan do not cremate or bury their dead, but just lay them on the ground to decompose. The dead bodies don't produce a stench because of the perfumed scents from Taru Menyan trees growing nearby.

Agency stops construction of buildings in city
By Anyango Otieno | July 4th 2020
The National Building Inspectorate yesterday stopped construction of two buildings in Westlands and Parklands for failure to comply with the requisite guidelines.
One of the buildings is along Matundu Lane. Eight suspects accused of constructing the unapproved multi-million-shilling building were charged on Wednesday.
The suspects were accused of continuing with the construction of the multi-storey building even after it was stopped by the National Construction Authority (NCA) on June 18, 2020.
They denied the charge and were released on a cash bail of Sh100,000 each.
At the other building in Parklands, three site supervisors were arrested. Construction work at the site had been suspended by NCA. The suspects are being held at Parklands Police Station.
National Buildings Inspectorate chairman Moses Nyakiongora said many people are undertaking unsupervised construction, especially during Covid-19 period.
Nairobi City County, National Environmental Management Authority and NCA all found faults with the building.
NCA cited lack of accredited skilled workers, site supervisors and registered contractors on site.
City Hall went for a site inspection in August 2019 and gave a notice that the development be stopped.

Skip to comments.Republicans reject 'Buffett rule' in the Senate (51 to 45)
Posted on 04/16/2012 4:37:19 PM PDT by Red Steel
Reporting from Washington
Republican-led opposition blocked the 'Buffett rule' from advancing in the Senate, turning back an election year effort by President Obama to slap a new tax rate on those earning beyond $1 million a year.
Nearly all Republicans voted against the measure, a potentially risky move at a time when 60% of voters support the measure, according to a recent Gallup poll, as a way to ensure wealthy Americans pay their fair share of taxes. Democrats are likely to revive the effort in coming months.
Continuing to allow some of the wealthiest Americans to use special tax breaks to avoid paying their fair share simply cannot be justified, the White House said in a statement before the vote.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
There are only 47 Republicans, so I think the LA Times may be pushing a lie.
One Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, joined Democrats in voting to advance the measure. One Democrat, Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, voted against.
Dang! I was unaware that there are 51 republicans in the senate these days! /sarcasm
Typical of Susan Collins - why can’t we get rid of her?
TEXT of the Bill:
And she is more conservative than Mitt Romney.
Grouped By Vote Position
Not Voting - 4
Republicans were on the 45 side.
There, fixed it.
Collins feels guilty her husband is under investigation for stealing from the gov’t
Hard to tell that from the headline now isn’t it?
Do say more. I was not aware of this issue...
What lie? With exception of Snowe the Republicans pulled together and were responsible for defeating the bill. The vote was close though so we have our work cut out for us.
The same 60% that would piss and moan if you dared raised their taxes or asked 43% of them to at least pay SOME INCOME TAX. Hypocrites!!! If this 60% wants someone to pay more taxes for THEIR BIG government, I suggest they THEY DO IT! They are NOT Americans. They're freeloaders.
Typical of Susan Collins - why cant we get rid of her?
Why is it that people like collins never have a moose related acident?
Collins isn’t married.
The lie: Continuing to allow some of the wealthiest Americans to use special tax breaks to avoid paying their fair share simply cannot be justified, the White House said in a statement before the vote.
The truth: The capital gains tax rate is not a “special” tax break. It is simply a 15% tax rate and is applied equally on all who report such income. The capital gains tax rate is neither progressive nor regressive taxation.
The opinion: Seems to me that it is the forerunner of a type of flat tax. If we cannot find a way to come up with a good consumption tax, I would like to see the earned income tax rates be replaced with the same rate as the capital gains tax rate. At least then we would be in the ballpark of a more “fair” tax system.
Seriously, anybody, no matter who they are and how much money they have, can find a finite number of ways of donating extra money to the U.S. government, if they, really, wanted to do so. This issue is, just, a “dog and pony show” by the left, in order to ignore all of Barack Obama’s problems as well as ignore all of the problems of the left, in general.
There are 51 democrats, 2 democrat independents and 47 republicans. The democrats can pass it if they waned to push their majority. This was a bipartisan defeat. Kudos to the GOP for voting correctly, but this headline and story is just electon propaganda.
Buffet rule - another Obama straw man the progressive media is only too happy to characterize as a good and necesswary tax law blocked by those dastardly Republicans who only care for the 1% and will gleefully starve the poor and the old people and even little puppies.
We can only hope there are enough rational people paying attention that won’t fall for Zero’s lies and tricks.
LOL ... some years ago, there was a magazine article (in Forbes, I think) where Warren and Jimmy were interviewed. Turns out they really are distant cousins through a common Nova Scotia relative. Warren said (paraphrasing) that the way things were going, referring to Jimmy’s musical success, he should start asking Jimmy for investment advice. I loved the picture at the beginning of the article — it showed Jimmy in a suit and tie with a disgusted look on his face, and Warren in a Hawaiian shirt.
LOL! So is that final statement the way the poll question was asked? I'm sure 60% DID say they supported that. I'd venture a guess that the vast majority of that 60% have absolutely NO clue what is actually written in the 'Buffett Rule', or how it would truly affect the national debt (not much).
so if there were 51 votes FOR it, and only 45 AGAINST it, how does it not pass? they’ve now messed up math so bad that 51 is LESS THAN 45??
The measure needed 60 votes to advance.
Not Voting - 4
Does anyone know why these four did not vote?
Not sure I understand your comment. It takes 60 votes to pass any legislation in the Senate if there is not agreement on allowing the vote. There were 51...a majority who voted yes...but you need 60....to move forward.
It was not bipartisan. I don’t count one person as a bipartisan effort.
Good. I love a little Obama smackdown.
Now, let’s smack him out in November, for good.
well whatever. The headline is correct in that Republicans as a bloc killed this bill with only one defection. The democrats sure as heck did not kill it. The Republicans killed it and got it done.
U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 7
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives
Collins is engaged to a 73 year old. She is 59.
I live in Maine and I have no use for her.
Why can’t we lower the middle class tax rate down to Buffet’s rate?
I say the Republicans should offer up a non-binding resolution that Warren Buffett needs to STFU until he ponies up the billion dollars he already owes and refuses to pay.
Buffet's tax rate is already available to middle-class taxpayers. It's called the "capital gains tax".
I know, so lets reduce the tax rates on all income to 15% so everyone can be happy and everyone can be paying their fair share.
Mark Kirk is recovering from a massive stroke. It’s as yet undetermined if he will be able to return ever.
But what about the 48% who pay no income tax.
Are they paying their "fair share"...?
One of the HUGE advantages to both the Steve Forbes no-loophole 17% flat-tax plan and FairTax (H.R. 25/S. 13) is that you no longer impose taxes on bank account interest, capital gains and stock dividend payments. This means you can save and invest essentially tax-free, and that would mean fully-funded banks and people willing to invest in business operations on US soil. This is why I want unprecedented income tax reform.
Pay Fair Share?
How about taxing the 49% of the population who pay NO taxes?
I live in Maine also. I knew she was engaged. Snowe ‘s husband, Jock has some issues. I think she tends to give in to the other side much too easily, but we could be doing much worse. For example, Pingree.

For the past few weeks, I’ve seen so many ads and videos about the new Chipotle Quesadilla available on the app. My family gets Chipotle every Sunday for dinner, and we’ve been doing that for years now. I go back and forth between a bowl, burrito, tacos, and a quesadilla to make sure I don’t get sick of our routine meal (but sometimes I do). However, over quarantine, an issue arose. We couldn’t eat in the stores and the online app didn’t have quesadillas as an option. So many times I craved that delicious, cheesy goodness, but I couldn’t order it.
But until just recently, Chipotle finally decided to add the quesadilla to the online app for order. The quesadilla is only available online, unfortunately, but it worked out for me because I don’t have a car up here at college. I decided since I get Chipotle all the time when home with my family and the quesadillas were one of my favorites there, that I should review this new Chipotle quesadilla. This review is the full thing, involving the use of the app, delivery, the actual quesadilla, and the sides.
The first thing I had to decide on was either ordering through the Chipotle app or through another food delivery app, like Postmates. The Chipotle app was way cheaper than posts with a tip and delivery fee, so I decided to use the app. The app was easy to use and navigate, and offered me points just off my first order that I can apply to get discounts later. The total for the Chipotle app was just over $16 with a 15% tip (with extra guac). On the Postmates app, the price for the same meal and tip was over $23, so the Chipotle app was a cheap option in case anyone else didn’t know before.
One thing I was disappointed about though was my actual order of the quesadilla. The app only allowed me one filling besides cheese in the quesadilla, and I did not appreciate not being able to add extras. I wanted to compare the quesadilla to how I used to order it in stores, (normally I’d get chicken and fajita), but the app only allowed one filling. I decided to get chicken over fajita, but I wish there was a button for more fillings.
After picking chicken as my filling, I got to decide on the three sides that came with the meal. All of the ads had spicy red salsa, sour cream, and guacamole as the sides, which I decided to go with as well. Other side options were things like black beans, rice, corn, and all the other sauces they regularly have. The guacamole side was still extra and was not part of the free side, but I was willing to pay extra.
The order went through quickly, and the time for the order to arrive was faster than expected. The delivery was just over the estimated delivery time, but compared to my other experiences with delivery food apps, it was super quick. It took about 25 minutes for the order to go through and get to my dorm.
Once my food got here, it was time to rate the quesadilla. The food came in a cardboard covering which is familiar to my other Chipotle experiences, but there was no seal or sticker to keep the cover on. I usually prefer my food to be delivered with a sticker or something so I know my food wasn’t messed with. The quesadilla was still hot and the sides still cold when they got here, which was a relief. I’ve had other experiences where my food was cold when it got here, which sucked. So the food still being warm and the guac cold by the time was delivered added points in my book.
The first thing I noticed about this new version of the quesadilla was that it was crispier than the older version which I liked a lot. On the other hand, the new version was way smaller than the older version. The online one only had two small sections which were cut in half. The old version was huge, cut into four sections. So while I appreciate the more crispiness, I was disappointed in the size. Especially for the price of the meal with delivery and tip total.
Also, my quesadilla was loaded with chicken, but not a lot of cheese. I experienced none of that effect of the stringy hot cheese, as most of the quesadilla was chicken over cheese. I love their chicken and like how generous they were with the serving size, but I would have liked more cheese.
The quesadilla was really good dipped in all three sides as well. I’ve never really liked sour cream nor Chipotle’s hot sauce, but I really liked them together with the quesadilla. I finished the whole quesadilla pretty quickly because it wasn’t as big as I expected, but it was really good overall! I had a lot of leftover sides that I later ate with chips I had from home. After eating the meal, I wish I would have gotten another side that was more filling, like beans or rice, instead of all three sides being dips.
Overall, the new Chipotle quesadilla was really good and delicious. I appreciated how we got three free sides in the meal, but I didn’t like how the fillings were limited to one option. The experience was enjoyable overall and I had a good time using the Chipotle app!
I don’t know if the new quesadilla compares to the old, as I think I liked the old version better. The new one was good, but limiting and not as big. Would I order it again? I’m honestly not sure, maybe if I wasn’t too hungry for a full dinner or something. But would I recommend for people to try it sometime if you like quesadillas and Chipotle? Yes!
If you decide to order the quesadilla online and give it a try after reading this article, then I hope you take some of my critics and observations into perspective! I would get another side instead of all dips next time for sure at least. And the online app was great!
My rating for the online quesadilla would 8/10 if I’m being honest. I love Chipotle and its amazing food, but this meal wasn’t my favorite, especially compared to the old version. But I would say give it a try for sure if you love quesadillas as it was still very delicious!
