Online grocery shopping is poised to shake up the traditional brick-and-mortar retail market in India, bringing much-needed convenience to time-stressed urban Indian consumers. The online grocery market is already crowded with startups like BigBasket, ZopNow, Local Banya and AaramShop, but these delivery platforms operate only in select Indian cities and have not yet gained mass traction. Enter India’s e-commerce biggies, Flipkart and Amazon.
In the last week of March 2015, Amazon announced its foray into grocery delivery with a Bangalore pilot project called Kirana Now, in which Amazon is partnering with kiranas (mom-and-pop stores) to offer express delivery of groceries (TimesOfIndia.IndiaTimes.com, 26 March 2015). A week later, Flipkart, India’s largest e-commerce site, announced that it would sell groceries online from the second half of 2015 (IndianRetailer.com, 8 April 2015).
The Indian consumer’s relationship with e-commerce started with low-risk purchases (like books) that didn’t require a see-and-feel experience. They were also considered acceptable online buys for Indians, a majority of whom don’t like using credit cards and instead used the cash-on-delivery option to ensure that the ordered product reached them before they paid for it. Online retailers gained consumer confidence by offering prompt service and multiple payment options, including consumer-favorite cash-on-delivery. The wide choice in online stores, competitive pricing, free exchanges and returns, flexible payment options, and reliable delivery have all contributed to consumers’ growing preference for online shopping.
Now, retailers are set to transform even the humdrum experience of grocery shopping into a pleasant, hassle-free one. Groceries account for 60%-70% of India’s traditional brick-and-mortar retail in India, which is worth $2.3 billion (Forbes.com, 23 September 2014), and business advisory firm Technopak reports that India’s online grocery market is growing by 25% to 30% annually (FoodNavigator-asia.com, 2 October 2014). This category is ripe for success among stressed-out urban consumers who are sick of dealing with potholed roads, heavy traffic and pollution, and a lack of parking space at brick-and-mortar stores.
But while these consumers might accept online shopping as a practical alternative, they also demand innovation. Smaller online grocery retailers have paved the way, and now larger brands must follow. For example, Big Basket saves on shopping bags: The delivery person brings the groceries in a red basket and leaves them on the kitchen counter for the consumer to store as they like. And ZopNow.com promises three-hour delivery free of cost, regardless of the size of the order. In contrast, Flipkart uses elaborate packing, with layers of cardboard and plastic for even relatively small products like books or headphones, and it charges for next-day delivery (along the lines of the Amazon Prime quick delivery service).
Indians make frequent (almost daily) veggie purchases, primarily to ensure freshness. And since freshness is non-negotiable, the kiranas, with their fresh goods, win over large supermarkets. Along with offering fresh fruits and veggies, e-tailers also need to consider the quantity that a household needs. Household size is decreasing in urban India — the average is 4.8 persons per household in 2011, down from 5.3 in 2001, according to the decennial Indian national census (Cmie.com, 23 June 2014) — but there are a large number of one- and two-person households as well (nationally, there are 10.1 million single-person households) (IndiaTimes.com, 15 June 2014).
Single-person households would likely prefer to buy 250 g of carrots, not 1 kg (often the only option available while online shopping). Smaller-size households with young adult singles or couples are also the most likely to shop online by virtue of being tech savvy and seeking convenient solutions for household chores. For large-size families, grocery shopping is still a weekend outing that’s combined with other weekend chores; not so for single working professionals who prefer to keep the weekend to meet friends and indulge in social activities.
Despite how quickly online grocers are refining their business model to better suit the new and demanding Indian consumer, all formats of grocery business — kiranas, supermarkets, discount stores and hypermarkets — are coexisting, at least for now. Meena Ganesh, co-promoter of BigBasket.com and online jewelry store BlueStone.com was a panelist in the retail discussion at the Times Literary Festival 2015 in Bangalore on 1 February. How much did the most expensive jewellery bought on BlueStone.com cost, the session moderator asked Meena. Without batting an eyelid, she responded: “A diamond ring for Rs 20 lakh ($32,000).”
Whether it’s onions for Rs 20 (30 cents) a kg or a diamond ring for Rs 20 lakh, one thing is for certain: A growing number of consumers are ready to click to buy.

Film may be the most powerful platform of communication for our generation. Rex Moribe has decided to use his film “Dear Thalia” to educate people about the difficulties of homelessness in Hawai‘i and share the story of one family’s struggle of living on a sidewalk in Kaka‘ako.
Rex says: “Creating awareness of the homeless situation here in Hawai’i is key. Ridding the social profiling of all homeless people as “druggies”, mentally ill, or lazy. It’s not anything you thought. There are more families on the street than you imagined. A lot of media: TV news, newspapers, blogs, statistics, politicians, advocates, how to help/what to do sites, etc. talk about the homeless in Hawai’i, but rarely do you get the homeless person’s perspective. And if you do, it’s for a mere minute. This is an entire film dedicated to their point of view and whats it’s like to be homeless in Hawai‘i.”
About the Director
Rex Moribe – filmmaker, entrepreneur, IT administrator/engineer, and professional bodyboarder. In 2005, he produced/wrote/directed his first feature film inspired by his favorite writer/director Kevin Smith. The film was not as successful as he would have liked, however, he learned and loved what he did. In 2010, Rex fell back in love with filming – making short travel videos.
Make sure you check out the Kickstarter Campaign to help fund the project and visit their website for more details.

A majority of Maryland voters approved same-sex marriage in the fall election, and Thursday was the first day same-sex couples could apply and receive a marriage license.
Governor Martin O'Malley signed a proclamation Thursday affirming the popular vote.
Attorney General Doug Gansler issued a legal opinion last week that would allow couples to pick up a license before January 1, the effective date of the law.
All couples have to wait 48 hours after applying for a license to get married. This will allow gay couples who want a romantic January 1st wedding the ability to have one. The courts will be closed that day for a holiday, but getting a license early would allow couples to get married at a church or other location on January 1.
There was apparently no stampede to get the licenses. Two of the state's biggest jurisdictions issued licenses, including Montgomery County, where only two licenses were approved.

Gionee used the occasion of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, to launch its latest flagship Android smartphone, the Elife S8. The Barcelona showpiece event was always the likely place for smartphones OEMs to launch their best and latest. Gionee also used the occasion to show its brand new logo. Which is inspired by smiley emojis.
The Elife S8 would be an upgrade of the Elife S7 launched just last year. Review copies were given to tech journalists at the event. So for a hands on review, you can check this excellent post. We are going to look at some of the standout features of the phone here.
Design and Display
At a thickness of 7mm and weighing just 147.2g, the Elife S8 is actually even lighter and slimmer than the industry standard, Samsung’s Galaxy S7. The full dimensions are 154.3 x 74.9 x 7mm.
The Elife S8 has a metallic body encasing a display size of 5.5 inch of AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. According to the specs, the Elife S8 also comes with a 3D touch feature which works almost exactly like the display feature found in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.
RAM, Chipset, and Storage
The Gionee Elife S8 is an Android 6.01 Marshmallow smartphone. The chipset is the MediaTek6755 P10 Helio, supporting an octa-core processor clocked at an impressive 1.9GHz.Just why Gionee decided to use the P10 Helio is a puzzle. That class of chipset is definitely mid-range in MediaTek classification. This is supposed to be a flagship. It is only natural to use only top rated chipses for flagships.
On the chipset is a RAM of 4GB and a Mali-T860MP2 GPU. This is what we are talking about. Gionee certainly didn’t spare anything here. The internal storage too is quite impressive at 64 GB. This can further be expanded by 200 GB with an external microSD.
Users have come to expect the best from Gionee in terms of the camera quality. At 16MP spec for the rear camera, the f/1.8 aperture lens promises to capture high quality images. Selfie lovers too would have fun with the 8MP front camera.
The Gionee Elife S8 has 3000 mAh non-removeable battery. Gionee lovers may see this as very disappointing in the face of Gionee’s M5 huge battery which is twice this. It was expected that a flagship should have all the best features. But, if the chipset and processor are both optimized to be energy efficient, 3000mAh can go a long way. Even the Galaxy S7 sports the same battery capacity.
The Gionee Elife is not a cheap phone for a MediaTek device. It is billed to be sold at $495. At today’s exchange rates, that can be anything from N80,000 to almost N200,000 depending on where you are sourcing for the dollar.
Clearly this phone was not made for the mass market. But the price quoted here is not the official price for Nigeria. It is just the conversion at the prevailing exchange. It is possible that when it debuts in Nigeria, it would be cheaper than the raw conversion I did here.
The Gionee Elife S8 would be available to consumers in two months.

Teachers of middle school reading have their own, unique set of challenges. On the one hand, there is the pressure to get middle schoolers ready for high school. In high school, the demands will be high, to say the least. Students will be expected to wrestle with complex texts with minimal help. They’ll be expected to read and digest information quickly, and to write well about what they read. The inclination for many middle school reading teachers is to prepare students for a high school curriculum by angling their own curriculum toward what will come in high school. On the other hand, most middle schoolers still need plenty of instruction in reading skill work, and many are not quite ready for the high levels of text complexity of whole class novels. So what is a middle school teacher to do?

Imagine being transferred to a hospital where the temperature is 20 below outside, and 40 inches of snow fill the parking lot. Few physicians would sign on for such an assignment. For a brave few, it’s all in a day’s work…
Col. Walt Franz, MD, of U.S. Army Medical Corps headquartered in Amarah/Al Kut, Iraq, has just begun the work of partnering with Iraqi physicians and nurses for the first time since 2003. In 2004, as a public health team leader, his primary task was helping Iraqi providers with hospital and clinic projects…When he’s at home and working at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., he practices primarily as a family physician.

Supporting young people with type 1 diabetes: experiences from healthcare professionals in Sweden
Healthcare professionals in paediatric care face great demands to provide high-quality acute care and support for young people with long-term illnesses, such as type 1 diabetes. This study aims to describe healthcare professionals' experiences of supporting young people with type 1 diabetes in order to improve care.
A qualitative research design was used to conduct individual interviews with seven healthcare professionals. The interview transcripts were subjected to inductive qualitative thematic content analysis.
Four themes were identified: strengthening young people's motivation, sharing knowledge for better support, the imbalance between resources and needs and the transition of responsibility to the young person and their family.
Healthcare professionals described motivating young people to improve their metabolic control by using a person-centred approach. Working in a team strengthened cross-professional perspectives, competence and understanding of young people's support needs and developed diabetes care. The transition of responsibility from healthcare to families and young people was important in improving glycemic control. The increased imbalance in resources and support needs in diabetes care must be addressed at a societal level and adapted according to today's needs.
Healthcare professionals in paediatric care are expected to provide high-quality acute care, prevention, health promotion, and support for young people with a wide variety of long-term illnesses, including type 1 diabetes. The standard of care and self-care for type 1 diabetes implies good metabolic control, including knowledge of the goals for blood glucose, self-care regarding administrating insulin by insulin pumps or multiple daily insulin injections, continual glucose monitoring, and knowledge of how to handle an emergency with hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia (American Association of Diabetes Educators, 2018).
In Sweden, approximately 700–800 young people (aged 0–18 years) develop type 1 diabetes each year (Swedish National Diabetes Register, 2019), and each person needs individual adjustments and self care support. Most young people in Sweden stay at a hospital for 1–2 weeks at the onset of type 1 diabetes for stabilisation and to initiate insulin therapy. During this period, every young person follows a self-care education programme that involves the whole family (Mullier, 2012). Good metabolic control is the main goal for education and for all diabetes care, specifically preventing and decreasing long-term complications associated with type 1 diabetes (American Association of Diabetes Educators, 2018).

When the bottom five in the lineup aren’t hitting, it’s that much more important the top four become productive.
And for the Tigers recently, having leadoff man Austin Jackson getting on base along with pesky second hitter Quintin Berry is giving plenty of chances for Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder.
Jackson reached base twice Monday and Berry got on three times, and each scored twice in Detroit’s 8-2 victory over Texas.
It was Berry’s bunt in the first that triggered the five-run frame, jumpstarting the Tigers to their second win in a row.
Jackson had doubled to open the game, and Berry was bunting to get him over to third. It turned into a bunt single when the Rangers didn’t have anybody covering first. That put runners at first and third.

Congratulations on your new business acquisition! You’ve taken a significant step toward entrepreneurship and now have the exciting opportunity to shape the future of your newly acquired venture. While acquiring a business is a major achievement, the real work begins after the purchase. To ensure a successful transition and long-term success, it’s essential to implement post-purchase strategies effectively. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore key strategies, tips, and tricks to set your new business up for success.
1. Transition Smoothly:
The transition phase is critical. Take the time to understand the business’s existing operations, culture, and customer base. Meet with key employees and listen to their insights. Ensure a seamless transition by maintaining open communication and building trust.
Tip: Create a transition plan with clear milestones and timelines to keep the process on track.
2. Retain Existing Customers:
Your new business likely has loyal customers who value its products or services. Keep these customers engaged and informed about the change in ownership. Show appreciation for their loyalty and assure them of continued quality and service. Retaining existing customers can provide a solid foundation for growth.
Trick: Offer exclusive promotions or loyalty programs to incentivize repeat business from existing customers.
3. Retain Key Employees:
Experienced employees are an invaluable asset. Identify key employees who are essential to the business’s success and work to retain them. Recognize their contributions, offer competitive compensation, and provide opportunities for professional growth within the new structure.
Tip: Conduct one-on-one meetings with key employees to understand their career aspirations and align them with business goals.
4. Assess and Improve Processes:
Evaluate the existing business processes and identify areas for improvement. Implement efficiencies and modernize operations where necessary. New technologies or software systems may enhance productivity and customer service.
Trick: Invest in training programs to upskill employees and streamline processes.
5. Develop a Growth Strategy:
Consider your long-term vision for the business. What are your growth goals? Develop a strategic plan that outlines your objectives and the steps to achieve them. This plan can serve as a roadmap for expanding the business and increasing profitability.
Tip: Conduct market research to identify emerging trends and opportunities for diversification.
6. Invest in Marketing and Promotion:
Promote the change in ownership to both existing and potential customers. Invest in marketing efforts that highlight your commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. A strong online presence and targeted advertising can attract new customers.
Trick: Leverage social media platforms and content marketing to engage with your audience and showcase your brand’s personality.
7. Nurture Relationships:
Build relationships with suppliers, vendors, and industry partners. Strong business relationships can lead to favorable terms, discounts, and opportunities for collaboration. Networking within your industry can also provide valuable insights.
Tip: Attend industry events and join professional associations to expand your network.
8. Monitor Financial Performance:
Keep a close eye on the financial health of the business. Regularly review financial statements, budgets, and cash flow. Be prepared to make adjustments based on performance and market conditions.
Trick: Use financial forecasting tools to predict potential challenges and opportunities.
9. Seek Professional Advice:
Consider consulting with business advisors, accountants, or industry experts. Their expertise can provide valuable guidance during the post-purchase phase and beyond.
Tip: Build a network of mentors and advisors who can offer insights and support.
10. Stay Committed:
Owning a business is a long-term commitment. Stay dedicated to your vision and adapt to changing circumstances. Success may not happen overnight, but with perseverance and the right strategies, it can be achieved.
Trick: Celebrate milestones and achievements along the way to maintain motivation.
11. Foster Innovation:
Encourage a culture of innovation within your business. Embrace new ideas and technologies that can lead to improved products, services, and operational efficiencies.
Tip: Create a suggestion box or innovation committee to gather and implement employee ideas.
12. Diversify Revenue Streams:
Explore opportunities to diversify your business’s revenue streams. This could involve expanding product lines, entering new markets, or offering complementary services.
Trick: Cross-sell products or services to existing customers to increase sales.
13. Focus on Customer Experience:
Prioritize customer experience by actively seeking feedback, addressing concerns, and delivering exceptional service. Happy customers are more likely to become loyal advocates for your business.
Tip: Implement a customer relationship management (CRM) system to track and manage customer interactions.
14. Embrace Sustainability:
Consider sustainable practices that not only benefit the environment but also resonate with socially conscious consumers. Sustainable initiatives can improve your brand’s reputation and attract environmentally conscious customers.
Trick: Highlight your sustainability efforts in marketing materials and on your website.
15. Plan for Succession:
It’s never too early to plan for the long-term success of your business. Develop a succession plan that outlines how leadership and ownership will transition when the time comes.
Tip: Include key employees in succession discussions to ensure a smooth transition.
The journey of business ownership continues long after the purchase. Setting your new business up for success requires careful planning, effective communication, and a commitment to growth. By following these post-purchase strategies, tips, and tricks, you can navigate the transition smoothly and position your business for a prosperous future.

On our approach to Lochel (small town in the mid north for those not familiar with South Aus) I asked Darren to pull over so I could take a photo. Whilst I am taking the photo Darren the real horticulturalist gets a closer look at the weeds growing throughout the sunflower crop.
On the way we stopped at a unique cemetery. It is called the ‘happy graveyard’ because the blue wooden crosses are painted with pictures and short poems characterizing the deceased. We saw many stork nests in the villages, built on telegraph poles. We seldom see these birds at home as they don’t find the right conditions any more.
We were surprised to hear people in the shops speak German, English, Spanish ...

FYI -- Constanta was founded by the Greeks as Tomis around 2,500 years ago. It is rumored to have been the place where Jason and the Argonauts landed after securing the Golden Fleece of legend. The Romans conquered in 71BCE and renamed it in honor of the sister of the Roman Emperor of the time.

When we learned Issac & Stern was designing a 50-unit residential building on Box Street in Greenpoint, we added, "[w]hich might actually be the perfect street for one of their buildings, name-wise." So that was prescient. BuzzBuzzHome spotted the rendering above on the architects' site, and yup, it's undeniably boxy. At least the design jives with the industrial character of the area and doesn't veer into Hot Karl territory. It will total about 40,000 square feet and rise to six stories, and according to DOB records, will house ten apartments per floor, and count among its amenities bike parking and recreational roof space.

Two more Kentucky residents charged in US Capitol riot
Published 4:22 pm Monday, February 1, 2021
Two Kentucky men have been charged with illegally entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.
Dalton Ray Crase and Troy Dylan Williams were arrested by the FBI in Lexington, the agency announced Monday. The men told investigators they went inside the Capitol building after the doors were breached but didn’t participate in any violence or vandalism, court records said.
The two men face charges of aiding and abetting, entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Williams told investigators that while inside the Capitol, he told Crase that “If these people start fighting the cops and getting crazy, we’re leaving,” according to court records.
Investigators learned of Crase’s and Williams’ trip to the Capitol from another person who had planned to travel with them but fell ill and didn’t go.
The FBI’s Louisville office has arrested seven Kentuckians in connection with the riot at the Capitol.

The 2019 FINA World Swimming Cup held in Tokyo proved a successful campaign for three UWA West Coast Club swimmers, sharing in 6 medals between them.
UWA West Coast Club swimmer Brianna Throssell continued her strong form, backing up her world championships titles with a gold medal and multiple podium finishes.
Brianna won gold medal of the competition in the 200m freestyle at 1:56.99, just ahead of Australian team-mate Madison Wilson.
Brianna also finished second in the 200m butterfly behind Katinka Hosszu.
The time is a new season best for the UWA West Coast athlete, moving her up to ninth place in the 2019 World Rankings.
Elsewhere, Brianna also reached the podium, winning silver in the 4x100m mixed medley and bronze in the 100m butterfly.
UWA graduate and 2019 Westpac Swimmer of the Year Holly Barrett was also on form, taking out gold in the 50m freestyle and finishing fourth in the 50m backstroke final.
In the Men’s events, UWA West Coast Club team mates Grant Irvine and Nic Brown both found their form against strong international competition.
Returning to the Australian setup, Grant won silver in the 100m butterfly, finishing at 51.63 just behind USA’s Andrew Seliskar.
Meanwhile student athlete Nic finished strongly in sixth place in the 200m butterfly finals.
With another strong performance at the closure of one of the biggest international swimming events in the world, Tokyo 2020 is getting closer and closer for many athletes.

Dianne Feinstein lashed out against Pete Wilson on the two looming issues of the 1990 gubernatorial campaign Sunday--targeting the S&L; crisis and the so-called quota issue as evidence that Californians "deserve better" than Wilson as governor.
Seeking to back up her characterizations, Feinstein cited 16 instances in which Wilson, during his eight years as a U.S. senator, contacted federal banking officials on behalf of savings and loan stockholders and officers who had complained that they were being wronged by the federal bureaucracy.
"Sen. Wilson's managers say that this was just constituent service--standard practice. Well, if it is standard practice, it is not a good practice. Californians deserve better," Feinstein told delegates to the state convention of the Mexican American Political Assn. in Los Angeles.
"Californians want a senator and a governor that does more than sit and watch while the biggest and costliest scandal in American history unfolds."
A review of Wilson's correspondence, however, showed that most of it was composed of form letters in which the senator asked banking officials to "determine the appropriate assistance for my constituent."
After Wilson sent out each of the letters, he received a response from federal regulators. There is no indication that the Republican senator put out additional effort on behalf of any S&L; after receiving the response.
Wilson's campaign director, Otto Bos, accused Feinstein of leading a "sneak attack" on the senator by making the charges on Sunday, when federal officials were not in their offices to respond. He characterized the letters as "routine inquiries."
At the center of the dispute is Feinstein's effort to tar Wilson with the political fallout from the scandal-ridden savings and loan industry, whose government bailout is now estimated to cost $500 billion, including interest.
To do so, Feinstein's strategists have argued that any effort to contact regulators on behalf of a particular S&L; constitutes "intervention" on Wilson's part.
"If it's Uncle Harry's Social Security check, that's a legitimate role," said Bill Carrick, Feinstein's campaign manager, drawing a distinction between helping individuals and assisting particular financial institutions. "There's a difference between that and these very powerful people who were saying: 'Hey, I'm having trouble. . . .' "
Feinstein's staff said the inch-thick sheaf of correspondence it collected on Wilson through the federal Freedom of Information Act showed that the senator had continued to forward letters to federal banking officials, even after he had been told why particular regulations were being enforced.
But Bos said Wilson's actions were the minimum demanded of public officials by constituents. And he drew a contrast between Wilson's letters and the public meetings that Democratic Sen. Alan Cranston had with federal banking officials to defend Lincoln Savings & Loan owner Charles H. Keating Jr.
Cranston's actions on behalf of Keating are expected to lead to Senate Ethics Committee hearings.
"If you call them (federal regulators) on the carpet, like Cranston did, that's intervention," Bos said. "There's nothing in this record that suggests there is anything of that sort."
The savings and loan crisis exploded as a gubernatorial issue this week, when Feinstein began airing commercials critical of Wilson. The senator has angrily denied his Democratic opponent's insinuations in the ad that he was acting on behalf of the savings and loan industry because he received $243,000 in political contributions from the industry this decade.
Feinstein also on Sunday sought to sidestep criticism of fellow Democrat Cranston's defense of Keating. She pleaded ignorance of Cranston's well-publicized problems.
"We have not received this same information on Alan Cranston," Feinstein told reporters before her speech, adding: "I'm not running against Alan Cranston.'
In her speech to the MAPA delegates, Feinstein not only raised the S&L; issue, but also the second contentious subject of the campaign thus far--the so-called quota issue. Wilson has sharply criticized Feinstein for promising to appoint women and minorities to her Administration in the proportions in which they exist in California's population.
"I am against quotas," she said. "Remember, I stand before you as one who knows that quotas can be used to keep people like us also locked out.
"That's happened to me as a woman, and it's also happened to me as a one whose religion is Jewish. The one person who hasn't encountered this I believe is Sen. Pete Wilson."

So Donald “I’d date my daughter” Trump is kicking some major ass in the 2016 Presidential campaign, but he made a rookie mistake this week: got caughting lying a Twitter. Apparently Donald is still living in 9th grade.
So John Oliver – the British version of Jon Stewart on HBO – was asked if he would invite Donald Trump to be on his show. And he was like “Nah fam.”
Then Donald tweeted

Baby charged with attempted murder in Pakistan 'goes into hiding'
Relatives of a nine-month old baby recently bailed after being charged with attempted murder in Pakistan have taken the infant into hiding, a member of his family said on Tuesday.
Baby Mosa Khan appeared in court in the city of Lahore last week, charged with attempted murder, threatening police and interfering with state affairs along with his father and grandfather after a mob protesting against gas cuts and price increases stoned police and gas company workers trying to collect overdue bills.
The report lodged a complaint against the whole of Muhammad Yaseen's family, which unilaterally included his nine-month-old grandson whom he brought with him to court.
At his first appearance in court last week, Mosa cried while his fingerprints were taken by a court official. Later, the baby sucked on a bottle of milk and tried to grab journalists' microphones as his grandfather spoke to the media.
"Police are vindictive. Now they are trying to settle the issue on personal grounds, that's why I sent my grandson to Faisalabad for protection," the baby's grandfather, Mr Yasin said.
The baby is on bail and due to appear at the next hearing on 12 April but Mr Yasin said he was not sure if he would take him to court for the case.
"There is immense pressure on me from various corners," he added.
UPDATE: NINE-MONTH-OLD GRANTED BAIL BY JUDGE
The assistant superintendent who filed the charges has since been removed from their position, Senior Superintendent of Police Rana Jabbar told The Times of India.
Mr Jabbar said: “A nine month old can never commit such a crime. This incident took place due to sheer misunderstanding on the police’s part and was not done on purpose.”
Punjab's Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has asked for clarification over the incident and demanded "stern action" against those who registered the case.

ShowTex is a worldwide leader in inventing, manufacturing and installing innovative flame retardant fabrics, tracks and motion control systems for achieving the creative vision of theatre, event and entertainment professionals.
The Catalan Museum of Archaeology recently renovated the rooftop of its central dome, as the fabric ceiling panels urgently needed replacement. Thanks to brand-new cyclorama fabrics, the dome is now looking spotless again!
While searching for the right textile solution, the museum looked for a way to maintain as much natural light as possible inside the public building. Thanks to their translucency, cyclorama fabrics turned out to be the perfect choice. The Cyclo 300 canvas features a stunning light spread and gives the museum its bright and airy vibe back.
Since the roof of the central dome is hard to access, tensioning the flame-retardant ceiling panels in the wooden roof structure was quite challenging, but super effective. The updated light conditions allow you to enjoy the ancient Greek and Roman artifacts even more now. And for years to come, as the museum engaged in a long-term partnership with ShowTex.
On the lookout for a fabric ceiling solution that generates natural light in your building? The right choice of ceiling cloths really makes a difference.

In January and February this year, before Covid vaccination
started, senior citizens
accounted for 76% and 84% of the deaths
, respectively, shows data collated by TOI from civic reports. In March too, their proportion in deaths was 80%.
However, in April and May, despite deaths rising exponentially to 1,475 and 1,581 (May 26), respectively, fatalities in this age group dipped. Nearly 5 lakh senior citizens got vaccinated in March, around 4 lakh in April and a little over 2 lakh in May.
But as the most vulnerable age group saw some respite, deaths rose among the lower age brackets. Interestingly, around 48% in the 45-59 age group have got one shot while just 8% are fully vaccinated. Among those under 40, the share of deaths has risen from 3.4% in January to 7% in May. Less than 2% under 44 have got one shot.
“If 77% (of elderly
) have taken the first dose and there has been a decline in deaths, it’s worth speculating that vaccination may have played its part, but more detailed studies would be needed to make the correlation,” said immunologist Dr Vineeta Bal
from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. A clearer picture on the impact of vaccination would emerge once the majority of the population was vaccinated, she said, adding there have been general observations that deaths in the elderly have dropped even with a single dose.
Civic officials pointed out that not just deaths, even the share of cases among the elderly is down. “It’s an encouraging sign, but vaccination alone may not have brought down the deaths. We have really pushed people in home isolation to move to hospitals on time or even those in private hospitals to be referred to BMC tertiary centres without delay,” said additional municipal commissioner Suresh Kakani.
The second Covid wave has indeed hit the young harder, said infectious disease expert Dr Vasant Nagvekar, as ICUs had a good share of 30, 40 and 50-year-olds. According to Dr Deepa Shriyan, dean of the Dahisar jumbo Covid centre, “The elderly who bore the brunt in the first wave didn’t delay coming to hospitals, but many younger people did, which combined with low vaccination coverage could have made them more susceptible.”
Vaccination will now be a crucial yardstick to measure susceptibility in future surges, said Dr Om Srivastava, infectious disease specialist. “Mumbai
must compare notes with vaccination coverage and deaths in other districts. We may know the real impact of vaccination by September to November.”

Rick J. Smith, MD
Plastic Surgery located in East Lansing, MI
The aging process comes to everyone in the end, but you don’t have to live with looking older than you feel. Rick J. Smith, MD, of East Lansing, Michigan, is an experienced plastic surgeon who helps women roll back the years with face-lift surgery. A face-lift can revitalize your appearance, boosting your self-confidence and giving you a renewed enthusiasm for life. To learn more, call Dr. Smith’s office or schedule a consultation online today.
Facelift Q & A
Why would I need a face-lift?
As you age, you’ll notice your skin begins to lose its youthful firmness, becoming thinner and starting to sag and wrinkle. This is because during the aging process your body starts to produce less collagen, a protein that’s essential for keeping your skin and underlying tissues firm and smooth.
How badly you’re affected by the signs of aging depends on a number of factors, such as:
- Exposure to the sun
- Poor diet
A face-lift tightens your skin and the tissues that support your skin, removing wrinkles and lines and restoring the youthful appearance of your face.
Can you tell when someone has had a face-lift?
Modern plastic surgery techniques are far more sophisticated than they were in the early years of cosmetic enhancement. The incisions Dr. Smith makes are behind your hairline, so there won’t be any scars for people to notice, and the results of your surgery look natural, with no stretched, shiny skin or rigid expressions.
Is face-lift surgery safe?
Face-lifts are generally very safe, with few complications providing you use a reputable, certified plastic surgeon. However, face-lifts are surgical procedures, so it’s important that you’re aware there is a degree of risk involved.
When you attend your initial consultation with Dr. Smith, he’ll go through what the procedure entails and any associated risk factors, making sure you understand what’s involved. He also needs to make sure you’re physically fit for the surgery and that there are no psychological issues that would make it inadvisable to undergo a face-lift.
What happens during a face-lift procedure?
You receive either a general or local anesthetic for your face-lift procedure, so you don’t feel any pain during surgery. Once your anesthetic takes effect, Dr. Smith makes incisions through which he can tighten the muscles that sit beneath your skin. Once this part of the process is complete, Dr. Smith removes any excess skin to ensure a smooth and natural-looking result.
If necessary, Dr. Smith also removes fat from underneath your neck and chin, or injects facial fat into areas of your face that need extra plumpness, such as the cheeks and lips. When he’s completed the procedure, Dr. Smith stitches the incisions closed with absorbable thread.
How long does it take to recover from a face-lift?
Your face is likely to be bruised and swollen after the procedure as your body works to heal the tissues, but these effects should wear off within a couple of weeks. Once the swelling and bruising subside, you’ll see the changes in your face, but it can take up to six months to see the finished result.
To find out if a face-lift is right for you, call Rick J. Smith, MD, or schedule an appointment online today.

‘I wanted to drop out’: Mum of teenage shooting victim completes university degree
- Credit: UEL
Rita Abifade was relaxing at a relative’s house in Stratford when she received the news that every mother dreads – her son had been shot.
Godwin, 16, had been with his cousin planning to go to a house party in Plaistow when tragedy struck.
Rita rushed to the scene, to find the street cordoned off by police and her son being lifted into an ambulance.
Though gun and knife crime has been on the rise in London, that her own son would be affected still came as a shock to Rita.
“He was not in a gang - he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” she explained.
You may also want to watch:
“He was in a chicken shop waiting to go to a party when masked gunmen entered the shop and starting firing.
“Boys from East Ham and Stratford can’t go to Plaistow. He didn’t know anything about that.”

Luckily for him doctors were able to remove the bullet in his leg, but he was kept in hospital and missed school for more than a month.
Naturally the shooting, which took place just a few days after Christmas last year, also took its toll on Rita.
She was visited by the police and by social workers and wanted to move her family from the area.
And all this was all happening while she was in the final semester of her sociology degree at the University of East London (UEL). Understandably, she missed the deadline for her final project.
“I went into a depression,” she said. “I wanted to drop out.”
Thankfully for Rita the staff at UEL were supportive.
“My course tutor was sending me messages and emails,” she said. “My advisor was encouraging me that if I needed any help I should just ask.”
So Rita made an appeal and eventually submitted her dissertation in October. She passed and finally graduated this month, and was joined by her family at the ceremony.
“I feel so happy to be graduating today, to be surrounded by my husband, my two daughters and my son,” she said.
As for Godwin, he is now hoping to follow in his mum’s footsteps and gain a degree of his own.
“He went back to school, he did his exams, and he passed,” Rita said. “He’s now in the second year of his A-levels and wanting to go to university.”


It is important to provide a website for someone who wants to improve their online presence. A website will help you attract prospective clients if you are a company owner. You will show your work to the world as an artist. The next question is then how easily can you?
This article contrasts WordPress with creators of websites and gives a look at the tools available to conveniently build your website.
The distinction between the builder of a website and WordPress
Developers of websites usually include drag and drop websites. The CMS functionality is possible, but it has meaning rather than a “pure” CMS. Then web developers can drag and fall articles to create their websites using these methods. In addition to the free website constructors 000webhost, Vik and Weebly are the most famous constructor firms.
WordPress is the CMS. There is no gui drag-and-drop (even though you install plugins).
Upgrading strategies may be arbitrary. This relies on the specifications, budget, time and ability to learn.
Released in 2003, WordPress is a complex web developer. This makes it possible for 32% of pages to include everything from personal blogs to enterprise sites. The White House is even bringing together a platform.
Both plugins that you might think in WordPress are available. WordPress provides more than 37,000 free plugins in their official directory. In comparison, standalone providers pay for certain extras and supplements.
WordPress features plug-ins and services to help you improve the platform visually. To mention only a handful, you can still use Elementor, Beaver Creator or Render by Themefoundry for free.
It allows you in the search engines to rate your WordPress account by chance. You have infinite power on-website optimization with the right SEO add-ons.
Through WordPress, you can import the whole website. This helps you to employ an expert to personalize your website or switch it to a provider you wish for hosting. No other web developer will have this right.
Constructors of website
Vik is a cloud-based software development framework that was created in 2006. Vic has many useful features and is easy to use. Even if you’re a novice, you can create a website from scratch. Vic currently hosts around 110 million pages, according to the latest estimates.
Wik has hundreds of applications for enhancing the website. More than 500 models can also be selected.
Gellvch defniddio Wik e-commerce gverthu, Os Chi needs the Cinhirchion Network. While Vic isn’t an advanced tattoo, it does help: a few chi gverthus is much better. Vic covers the fundamentals when it comes to SEO. It optimizes the platform automatically to be personalized by SEO and gives a lot of advice.
A domain name, gvasanaethau and SSL certificate can also be purchased. I’m Vic and you have to have Back-end Management. Vic has a variety of options for subscriptions. The most popular is the unrestricted package, the $150 a year sidd costau.
Disadvantage: While Vic has outstanding set models, they can only pick one chi. You’re going to have to turn to the new chi, you’re going to miss the changes, because the material may be from your old shape. It makes it really difficult to move a website to a new reoleiddiol work.
Weebly was founded in 2006 as a web hosting firm. More than 30,000,000 domains are open today. Hundreds of Weebly themes may be selected from the Theme Gallery or from individual manufacturers such as Mojo. Without missing details, you can change from one subject to another.
Unlike Vike, Weebly offers the option to configure HTML and CSS codes to completely customize the web. Even while you are using a free bundle, Weebli offers hosting, subdomain and SSL security. There are also a number of applications to incorporate features in the Mobile Apps Hub. Free applications are open.
Weebly discusses the fundamentals and hundreds of SEO instruments in the Software Center when it comes to SEO. Weebly provides you with more complex SEO setups in contrast with Vic. The Web Business Strategy includes all functionality you can require for anyone focused on e-commerce.
Verdict: Site Builders vs WordPress
Many common resources help you build a website that is easy to use. We still encourage our customers to use WordPress, however. It has a steeper learning curve, but with its versatility and long-term development, WordPress provides.
Using a website builder, especially for beginners, seems like a simple option. However it will delay the growth of your website as your awareness, desires, and target audience expand. It’s pretty quick today to build and build a WordPress account. You will launch and launch a WordPress website with 000webhost 1-click installer in no time.
