Cheuk DK, 2006(b)16402340
Cheuk D. K., Li S. Y. and Wong V. (2006) "No association between VNTR polymorphisms of dopamine transporter gene and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Chinese children." Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet, 141B(2): 123-5.
case-control and family-based
64 cases and 64 controls
52 boys, 12 girls for cases and controls respectively
Children/Adolescents : below 18 years
In this prospective family-based and case-control study during January to June 2004, they recruited consecutive Chinese children diagnosed with ADHD by DSM-IV criteria, their family members, and sex-matched controls admitted for acute upper respiratory infection, excluding those with perinatal brain insults, mental retardation, or neurological deficits. VNTR polymorphisms of the DAT gene were determined by standard PCR followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Sixty-four ADHD cases (52 boys, 12 girls), their family members and 64 normal controls were recruited. The 10-repeat allele and the 10/10 repeat genotype were the most prevalent. Both family-based and case-control analyses showed no association between the DAT gene polymorphisms and ADHD.
Altogether 64 ADHD cases (52 boys (81.3%), 12 girls (18.7%); M:F=4.3:1) and 64 sex-matched normal controls were recruited.
Chinese children
The diagnosis of ADHD was made according to the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-IV (DSM IV) criteria after a structured interview, which incorporated parental and teachers' reports of behavioral symptoms, clinical observation of behaviors, aberrant behavioral checklist and tests of attention such as the Conners continuous performance test. Forty-three (67.3%) ADHD patients were classified to the combined subtype while 5 (7.7%) and 16 (25%) ADHD patients belonged to the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive and predominantly inattentive subtypes respectively.
Three milliliter of blood was taken from the cases and their parents and siblings and the controls for DNA analyses in the pediatric laboratory in the University of Hong Kong. Genomic DNA extraction was performed by traditional salting-out method. Primers used for amplification of variable number of tandem repeats in 30 untranslated region of DAT1 were as described by Young et al. [2002].
Family-based allele transmission analysis was performed by the standard transmission dysequilibrium test (TDT) and the odds ratios of ADHD for the presence of the 10-repeat allele and various genotypes were determined by comparison between cases and controls and its significance determined by the chi-squared tests.
Both family-based and case-control analyses showed no association between the DAT gene polymorphisms and ADHD (transmission dysequilibrium test: P-value=0.99; odds ratio of 10-repeat allele=0.89 (95%CI 0.35-2.28), P-value=0.81; odds ratio of 10/10 repeat genotype=0.69 (95%CI 0.26-1.84), P-value=0.46). They concluded that VNTR polymorphism of the DAT gene is not associated with ADHD in Chinese children.

T. Rex and The Damned at Newcastle City Hall 10th March 1977 - UK Music Press Reviews
As I have alluded to earlier, this touring partnership was a coming together of two loosely related musical scenes, the move was significant and the reception to this tour would serve as something of a barometer as to where punk was heading in the coming months.
This tour rated highly in the priority ratings of the multiple music weekly papers that were in circulation in 1977. To a man, all of the London paper editors pointed one of their hacks in the direction of King's Cross Station with explicit instructions to get the low down from Newcastle City Hall, the first night of the 'Dandy In The Underworld' tour.
Here's what they said:
Record Mirror 19th March 1977
Melody Maker 19th March 1977
New Musical Express 19th March 1977
Newcastle City Hall Review
Sounds 19th March 1977
IS THIS a Jamboree Bag I see before me? Sure is, right there next to the row of Smarties tubes, the neat lines of Mars bars and a dozen or so other icky sticky things wrapped in vivid oranges, blues and reds, every single one of them with some tyke's oral cavity and points below for a target.
Location of this.l vivid hued parcel of saccharine geometry? Atop this little desk in the foyer of Newcastle's City Hall. A similar desk a few yards to our right deals in items of a somewhat less transitory nature, viz. various scarves, t-shirts and badges emblazoned with the legend T.REX.
You remember T. REX, I presume. But of course you do, how foolish of me to suggest otherwise. Dunno though, only three months ago I seem to recall seeing someone wearing a T. Rex t-shirt like the ones being sold here (a bassist, no less, his maniac presence in the here and now to be manifested in all its proud kookery a mere few moments hence) and it somehow seemed a very nostalgic little artifact, as locked in its own time as MariIyn Monroe's famous Warhol grin, that other favourite of singlet stampers.
Sure enough, time ticks no faster than in the rock 'n' roll world. But you know about that already. Like those posters saying 'Whatever Happened To Slade?' I keep seeing, wondering all the while how much I really care about the answer. Wondering too how many kids walk past the same hoardings who don't even know who or what Slade was. Same kids probably have vague blurs in their heads marked 'Beatles' that are no clearer than 'Robin Hood' or 'Henry VIII', just history, whatever that is.
Which is why, when I first heard about the upcoming T. Rex tour a few weeks back, I really did stop for a second to muse on the kind of reception the erstwhile Bopping Elf had waiting for him. Or not - what If you gave a tour and nobody came?
How I heard about this thing about to be launched in Newcastle's City Hall was, in fact, via the quartet of young gents known collectively as The Damned. Seemed the fearful foursome had landed the supporting role on what would be boogie Bolan's first national outing in almost two years. And, yes, I have to confess that my first thought was that the boys' appearance on said tour was Marc's way of keeping up with the times, ensuring full houses by adding a dash of good ole 'controversial' punkery to whatever circus he was heading.
And my second thought was that the boys in black would blow the 28 year-old Bolan clean off the stage. Third and final cogitation comin' up – what if (2) came to pass? WoVld The Damned find themselves slung off yet another tour? And, knowing that at least two members of the group retained a fair measure of admiration for MB, how would they feel if this actually came to pass?
Mind you, it'd be crazy to dismiss the Small One quite that lightly - after all, he's been in the bear-pit for near a decade, hardly the kind of background to make a first round wipe out an inevitability. Whatever, there's no denying the ingredients were all set for at least one stimulating evening's fun. Let's just hang loose and see what happens, shall we?
So forget the Jamboree Bag and let's forget ourselves in there - I know that fracas booming from behind the double doors, and it sure as hell ain't a Local Ratepayer's Assn. meeting.
NO SIRRAH, The Damned are on and blasting away for all they're worth, sic'ing the locals with most if not all of 'Damned, Damned, Damned' with nary a pause to blink. Rat Scabies is up back, of course, whacking at his kit so hard you just know what he's aiming at is some invisible point three or four feet beyond the drums, deep into the structure of the stage Itself.
To the right is Brian James, sharp in a black and silver shirt, doing his best to tie knots in the neck of his guitar.
And stage left is Captain Sensible, face and body contorting as he flails at his silver-faced violin bass, alive once more and out from the cardboard box it travels in.
Vocalist Dave Vanian, he's left ... no centre. . . er, make that .. . make that just about everywhere he can be in the narrow confines left him by two lots of equipment, hollering thelyrics to 'Help' (78 rpm version, natch), 'Neat, Neat Neat', and so on. Coupla newies in there too - 'Stretcher Case' and' Sick Of Being Sick', both of which sound rather splendid on this first hearing .
Oh sure there's a few cock-ups, times when the shared vocals on one of the new songs don't quite come together, when Dave gets so carried away that the mike leaves his mouth before the end of a line does, little things like that. Big deal, the thing of it is, the fire is there. And there's plenty of really fine moments, not the least of which is the way 'New Rose' rockets its way into 'Stab Your Back', a real breath-stealer. Tasty little bit of mini-theatricals in the finale too. Rat's cymbals bursting into flames so real that even vintage Belgian rocker Rene Magritte would be up and clapping for more were he with us tonight.
Applause? Riotous almost, went down better than well and called back for an encore which time unfortunately won't allow for. All the same, The Damned have made more than a few new friends on Tyneside tonight.
WHO THESE friends will be exactly is another matter. The lights go on to reveal a truly motley crew. Like, there's the little chickies upfront in the home-made fathead top hats like on The Slider' cover with probably little more than thirty years between the three of them. Also lots of young couples, mid teens and all dressed up for an evening out, a few early twenties, scattered denim soldiers, even a sprinkling of crophaired, monochrome New Wavers, some fifteen hundred souls maybe, filling out the stalls and with a little surplus scampering for front row balcony seating.
Heading for the stage door I suddenly find myself face to face with someone who absolutely begs to be described as a fully fledged son of Woodstock Nation, he with the hair curling over his shoulders and (oh, what? as they used to say when everyone looked or wanted to look like this) a head-band tied around his cranium.
But hey, I know that face . Why, it's only Phil Sutcliffe, 'SOUNDS' man on the banks of the Tyne his-self. Heloo there, Jimmy.
Turns out Phil is here to tape an interview for the local radio station. Asks if I'd lend a hand, seeing as The Damned aren't quite his particular cup of meat. Needn't have even bothered to ask really, should know me well enough by now to realise I never refuse the chance of a little extra exposure.
Unhappily the citizens of Newcastle and environs won't have the indescribably moving thrill of clasping your reporter's dulcet tones to their bosoms or wherever else they keep their trannies this time around on account of Phil managed quite capably on his tod. Wouldn't go so far as to call the ensuing chat amicable ("Why you wear that headband?" sez Cap. "To keep the hair out of my eyes ... ") but it should make quite interesting radio. Phil stood his ground regarding what was, to him, a very repetitive performance and the boys did their best to explain that there were at least a couple of slow numbers in there too.
In the end things had to be terminated because of the sound of T. Rex taking the stage. “It was alright," Brian said as he left. "Better than people saying you're great all the time." Phil was off to catch upon some local talent, maybe eventually to also listen to the Damned's album a few times too. Before Phil split though I did find out that his appearance still drew a lot of abuse from his fellow locals - while down South it was his opposites who were getting aggro for their lack of hair. Pish, human beanz is just too silly for words.
SO NOW it's the Elemental Child's turn and here he is folks, the little bopper himself, half canary (the jacket), half plum (the tight, gleaming pants), topped off with the original corkscrew hair.
And guess what? There really is no Moment Of Truth at all. Because it's only two minutes in and the hall's going crazy and I'd bet my last florin it was like this even before he hit the stage. C- R-A-Z-Y, there really is no other word for it - this place is undoubtedly bopping.
No denying it, the kid looks great. So what if he's twenty-eight, take a computer a hell of a long time to hit all the sixteen year-old males who'd give everything to look half as good.
As for the current T. Rex - true that they leave the visual part of the show almost entirely to Marc but as far as playing's concerned they're probably the sharpest bunch of musos he's ever worked with. Miller Anderson on guitar, bass c/o Herbie Flowers, Tony Newman on drums and Dino Dines on ze keyboards all adds up to a very solid band. Bolan plays lead guitar too, of course, and though he's no virtuoso it must be said that he has a very distinctive tone still.
The contents are a deft blend of old and new, chartbusters like 'Telegram Sam' , 'Jeepster' and even a spiffingly executed 'Debora' swim alongside the new album's 'Visions Of Domino', 'I Love To Boogie' and 'Groove A Little', all fused into a homogenous whole by the catchy simplicity of it all and the very definitely recharged batteries of the show's frontispiece.
And the kids love every second of it, every bump and bounce of the main protagonist, every little electric thrill. And yeah, I like it too. Not that I've been a particularly constant fan over the last couple of years and know every song or anything or that I've ever been wholly reconciled to Bolan's wholesale plundering of standard blues and boogie but there's no denying there's a very happy, innocent and joyful vibe going down here.
If there's anything at all I'd fault it's the extended soloing during the encore's 'Get It On' during which MB goes well over the top of his guitar 'prowess'. But I'll forget about that one because it does give the band a chance to ease out a little and because by now the kids are in such a frenzy that they can actually benefit from a little looseness.
So there you go; in Newcastle at least Bolan's star shines on; with nary a few nickers dampened and everyone leaving looking flushed and happy. But the real evidence of what's been
going down here is yet to come.
TWENTY MINUTES later the hall's empty and we're all let in to the star dressing room. I finally get to meet Marc, noting that even in close up he looks amazingly healthy and well preserved. Meanwhile there's a rumbling at the curtained windows and a hubbub of young voices. Suddenly a hand appears and draws back a foot or so of curtain and it becomes obvious there's a fair-sized crowd gathered outside, all of them with one thing in mind. It's about five feet tall, has dark, curly hair ...
Bolan's entourage have seen it all before of course, and pretty soon the thirty or so people in the party mass together for a quick rush to the coach positioned a couple of yards from the backstage door. This we do, the idea being to confuse the kids into thinking they've missed their prey. In fact Bolan leaves the building last, running the gauntlet of the distracted crowd and boarding the bus from the rear. He's spotted, of course, but by then it's too late - a little heave and he's in and we're off.
I've never been in this particular situation before and it's not a little disturbing. If you saw 'Stardust' you'll know what I mean - those last few seconds before the vehicle moves off when all you can hear is the fierce drumming of countless fists on the outside. Adulation, right? Gives you the shivers all the same, knowing that the mob outside would probably tear Marc Bolan into several small pieces in the space of about thirty seconds if they could only get hold of him.
Bolan's been through it all too many times before to look anything but slightly amused by it all. Just the same he must be getting a little buzz of satisfaction at knowing for sure now that he's still needed so badly by his fans, having gone so far as to admit he'd not been totally sure about how much enthusiasm he could conjure still.
It's there alright. There about a mile down the road when a pause at a traffic light finds more fans squaling at the window, there when we stop outside the band's hotel for a few minutes only to find another gaggle of the faithful pressing against the windows for fleshless kisses, and even at the distant Holiday Inn where four girlswait patiently for the opportunity of being photographed next to their dream merchant.
The reason we're gathered here is for a celebratory bash thrown by EMI - plenty of food and drink for the bands and their crews plus the handful of press who've come up to cover the start of the tour. Me and Marc miss out on most of that though as there's an interview planned.
I'd looked forward to interviewing Marc Bolan for quite a while but I don't, in retrospect, think the twenty minutes we manged to get on tape are really worth bothering with. For a start, we were both ridiculously over-tired, Bolan's problem being somewhat more serious than my own as he was in danger of blowing out his voice and had a show to do the following night. It was rushed and shapeless and there were dumb questions and - dare I say it - dumb answers aplenty.
Okay, if I wanted to make Bolan look silly it'd be easy to take out things at random and do just
that. But then one can do that with practically any interviewee and it's a practice I don't care for one little bit. Worst of all, it'd be totally dishonest unless I also admitted I'd made quite a few boobs myself.
But all it was really was preamble, the requisite amount of probing one would normally engage in before the dialogue proper began. Only this is where it ended. As it was we blew it and we both knew it. We agreed to meet over breakfast next morning to pick it up from there but that proved impossible.
After Marc left I was pretty angry and was all set to write a piece that compared Marc Bolan to
Farley's Rusks - in short a product which would always be in demand but never by the same people for very long. Only next day I realised that I still get the occasional hankering
for a Farley's. And anyway, a baby's breakfast never made me laugh. What follows – intentionally or not - did just that; it's Marc's preface to one of the songs on his 'Dandy In The Underworld'LP: 'A fool's lament is a wise man's milkshake.'
It's the way he tells 'em.

You can use browse to look through the entire census of a township or city. (That's the way we used to do it!)
Note three search options: Basic, Advanced and Find by page number.
Start with the basic search.
Use the Advanced search for censuses 1850 forward
to narrow a very large list of results -- most useful for common names
if you are having trouble finding a surname. Search for criteria other than the surname to see if you can find the record.
Find by page number is useful if you have the citation and know where to find the record.
If you are browsing... (see the "Browse" tab at top of page)
First you select a year, then after you select a state you will be given the option of viewing a map. This map shows the county boundaries as they were at the time of that census. It is especially important to use it for the earlier censuse
If there is a SUBPAGE A and a SUBPAGE B at the top of the census record, the record may be on either. If you don't find it on A, be sure to check B.
Note you can print, download or add the page to your notebook.
Originally a microfiche set "Genealogy & Local History" -- here is a list of books included in that set. I think you will find most, if not all, in the "Books" section of Heritage Quest online.
Searching books is tricky...
When you enter words into a single search box HQO looks for the words within 4 words of each other.
If you put search terms in more than one box, HQ finds any book that contains both words, but not necessarily on the same page! And... when you get the results, you can't tell which page has which word. Usually you really don't want to use more than one box!
You can search for variations of a name Keep these tips in mind:
* - The asterisk is a wildcard that matches zero or more characters. For example, a search on 'sam*' will bring back results that include 'sam', 'samantha', 'samuel', etc. Note: you cannot use an asterisk as the first, second, or third character of a search term.
? - The question mark acts as a single-character wildcard. For example, a search on 'eli?abeth' will bring back results that include 'elisabeth' or 'elizabeth'. Note: you cannot use a question mark as the first character of a search term.
You can use bolean operators (OR, AND, and AND NOT, NEAR, and double quotes. Note that these words are case-insensitive; 'AND' works the same way as 'and'.
Double Quotes - To match an exact phrase, the phrase should be enclosed in double quotes.
NEAR - Used with two terms, 'near' will find all matches of the two terms within 4 words of each other. To specify how many words can separate the two terms, include a number preceded by a colon after the 'near'. For example, 'women near:5 history' will find all occurrences of 'women' that are within five words of 'history'.
AND - Using 'and' retrieves results that include two or more terms that you have entered in the search field. For example, 'women and history' retrieves all results with 'women' and 'history' in them; 'women and history and politics' retrieves all results with 'women', 'history', and 'politics' in them.
AND NOT - Using 'and not' indicates that you want to retrieve results that include your first entered term but not the second. For example, 'women and not politics' will retrieve results that include 'women' but not 'politics'.
OR - 'Or' will retrieve results that include either your first entered search term or your second. For example, a search on 'women or history' will find results with 'women' or 'history' in them.
"" - When you enclose a phrase in double quotes, your search results will match the phrase exactly.
( ) - When you enclose a logical group of terms and operators in parentheses, HQ will assign a higher precedence to that grouping of terms. For example, 'paris AND (ohio OR texas)' evaluates 'ohio OR texas' first.
All of these words are reserved words; this means that you are not able to search for them unless you enclose them in double quotation marks. For example, searching on 'women and history' will bring back results with 'women' and 'history' in them, while searching on 'women "and" history' will bring back results with 'women', 'and', and 'history' in them.
Note: All search fields are connected by the Boolean search term 'and'. If you enter 'Annapolis' in the Place Name(s) field and 'Smith' in the Additional Keywords field, HeritageQuest Online will search for 'Annapolis' and 'Smith'.
Here is the way to search for a name within a single book or a number of books on the same subject
I want to find information about WITHEY families in Bradford County Pennsylvania.
Under SEARCH ALL BOOKS choose PUBLICATIONS: Browse all titles...
Then click For advanced publications searching, go to Search Publications
Put the name (or word) that you want to search in the keyword box. For this practice test, use the name WITHEY
If you want to search only one title, put that title in the title box and hit search. Otherwise leave it empty and proceed. For this practice test, leave it empty.
Go to "Subject" and hit the browse arrow.
Type BRADFORD into the jump box and hit the arrow to jump to Bradford.
Check the boxes for the two subjects that include Bradford County Pennsylvania.
Leave the OR box checked. (If you check and you will find Withey's only in books for which the description has both subject headings. )
Your box is now filled out with both subjects and the search term is in the keyword box.
Hit search to find any mention of WITHEY in a book about Bradford County Pennsylvania.
Viewing results... also a little tricky when you are viewing hits in books.
When you click VIEW hits you get taken to a screen that shows the table of contents.
A # off to the side shows in which chapter or section you will find hits.
Click on that line and you will be taken to the first page of that section or chapter.
Click on the arrow button above to get to the first actual hit!
Keep clicking on arrows to get to subsequent hits.
PERSI stands for Periodical Source Index and is an index to articles in hundreds of genealogical journals. More Information.
Want to learn even more? There are a number of articles on PERSI in the Ancestry.com articles archive (no subscription needed).
REMEMBER: Persi searches titles, authors and subjects of articles, but not full text (too bad... it sure would be nice if it did that!)
You use it to find an article about methodology, records of a certain area or articles on a family. Once you identify the article, you can order it from Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne (for a fee) or wait until you next go to the library to find it and read or copy it there.
You can search PERSI for PEOPLE, PLACES, HOW To and find what publications are indexed.
The surname box is for ONLY the surname.
You can search for two connected surnames, e.g. try Withey AND Burt. You can use bolean operators, *, ?
Use the keyword box to add a given name, e.g.McWethy in the surname box, Sarah in the keyword box
If you use the keyword box to narrow it down by state, you will only narrow it down to those periodicals published in the state you specify.
In general, be very cautious of the key word box. For example, I want to find obituaries for the surname Binford. Search it first using obituary as a key word, then obit. , then death notice.... see the problem?
You don't have to use a surname. For example, try the word suicide as a keyword.
Note it is divided into three sections: United States, Canada and Other Countries
Specify county
You can use OR to search for information on more than one county, e.g. using the state Michigan, search for county Genesee OR Washtenaw.
Use the keyword to designate local place name, e.g. if you search Washtenaw, you might indicate Saline as a place name.
As always, use Keyword with caution. It can give you unexpected results.
If you have a problem, use ADVANCED SEARCH to specify locale as a field.
In fact... I might prefer to just start with the ADVANCED SEARCH
Narrow down by record type, using the drop down.
These are articles that help you solve a specific problem or learn more about a record type.
You can search by keyword only, for example, Divorce
You can use bolean searching to narrow down the results, e.g. Divorce AND Ohio
You can combine a keyword with a record type, e.g. Women, record type from dropdown Naturalization
You can search for only a record type, using the drop down
A result will tell you the title of the article, the name, date and issue number of the periodical.
At the bottom is an option to print out a form you can use to request a photocopy of the article (for a fee) from the Allen County Libray.
A click on the name of the priodical will give you more information, including a listing of issues held at Fort Wayne.
Click on the issue number to get a table of contents for that issue.
This indexes the Revolutionary War Records and provides a digital copy of selected records from the original application. '
To learn more about these records, click the "Read more about the Revolutionary War" link, upper left corner.
It covers more than the Revolutionary War. You can find pension apps for War of 1812 and other early wars here too.
Use an asterisk to find name variations. Try Richard* and note that not only do you get Richards and Richardson, but also Prichard, Richarson and Richart.
Use the dropdown, upper right to sort by first name.
State is the state from which the soldier served.
Warning: they can be hard to read
But worth it !
And often there is a typed summary, a letter written in response to a query.
Will usually contain several pages
You can print, download or save to notebook.
Freedman's Bank records can be invaluable if you are trying to trace a black family in the period immediately following the Civil War; "Read more about Freedman's Bank records" top right corner. Also, the Family History Library Wiki has a good overview of the Freedman's Bank records and their value to the genealogical researcher.
Allows soundex search
Surname search will find all names, not just that of applicant
You can combine surnames using AND -- so it will find applications that carry both surnames
These applications contain family information ! They are extremely valuable.
Card image is of the handwritten original.
A transcription follows, but make sure you check the image as not every bit of information is transcribed.
You can print, download or save to a notebook
Read more about U.S. Serial Set, top right corner for more information. See also "Using the Congressional Serial Set for Genealogical Research" and "Public Lands and Claims in the American State Papers" both published in Prologue Magazine.
You can use the AND operator. e.g. place Manchester AND Washtenaw -- then try Manchester AND Michigan.
The full text of the record displays.

Impact of COVID-19 on Lives and Livelihoods – Rapid Study of Slum Dwellers in Indian Cities
Master Plan for Delhi 2041 as an Enabling Strategic Plan
Delhi is slated to become the world’s largest urban system within the coming decade. The city faces numerous challenges like environmental degradation, untapped land potential, unsustainable mobility, housing shortages, unplanned development, unsafe built fabric in need of regeneration, pollution, unequal access to civic services, etc. Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) is a key instrument that can address these issues and shape future development of the city. Given its complexity and importance, any ‘transformative strategies’ adopted in the next MPD can be a blueprint for Indian cities and for urbanism across the Global South. With this in view, NIUA has collaborated with DDA to develop MPD 2041 as an ‘enabling and strategic’ framework capable of (i) ‘redefining’ growth trajectories and priorities, (ii) ‘rethinking’ the regulatory planning approach adopted earlier, and (iii) ‘reinventing’ Delhi as a sustainable, liveable and vibrant city. The Draft Plan has been prepared through a rigorous process of baselining, stakeholder engagement, expert consultations and studies. It propounds a 6-point transformative agenda for environmental sustainability, economic development, enhancing heritage and public life, improving housing and social infrastructure, low carbon mobility and resilient infrastructure. Policies of the plan cover both greenfield development and regeneration of existing areas in the city.
Sanitation Capacity Building Platform(SCBP)
Sanitation Capacity Building Platform(SCBP) is a platform anchored by NIUA and works as a collaborative initiative of experts and organisations committed to support and build the capacity of Urban Local Bodies, National Nodal Traiining Institutions, Academia and Private sector : to Plan, Design and Implement decentralized sanitation solutions. The Platform lends support to Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, by focussing on urban sanitation and supports states and cities to move beyond Open Defecation Free (ODF) status by addressing the safe disposal and treatment of human faeces. The Platform promotes non networked sanitation systems and has been operational since 2016. Over the last 3 years SCBP has developed as a credible platform including : 20 partners of the National Faecal Sludge and Septage Management Alliance(NFSSMA), 8 Nodal National Training Institutes and 9 universities partners. Together this Platform has developed a portfolio of standardised Faecal Sludge and Septage Management(FSSM) training modules, policy papers, technical reports and research. SCBP Portal is a knowledge platform on decentralised urban sanitation. With an overload of information on the net, this site provides a resource centre for Learning and Advocacy material, important Government orders and Reports, Training Modules, Workshop Reports and Publications produced under SCBP. We also share the most relevant work on decentralised sanitation from other organisations including Reports and Publications, Videos and learning material. We invite engagement, suggestions and inputs for improving the content and reach of this platform. Kindly send your suggestions through the contact tab. Programme Strategies How does the Platform work SCBP was conceptualised by NIUA in 2015 under a Gates Foundation Grant. NIUA initiates and facilitates engagement of the SCBP Platform Partners at the State government level, for advocating and awareness generation for Faecal Sludge and Septage Management(FSSM). Followed by on demand support for capacity building and implementation of decentralised sanitation solutions at state and city level. SCBP promotes a four-module based Capacity Building support. SCBP works at both state and national level. At state level the Platform is currently working through NIUA in the states of Rajasthan and Uttarakhand to create an enabling environment, undertake state wide capacity building and provide technical support for decentralised sanitation solutions. At the national level the Platform anchors Caapcity Building for decentralised sanitation, in partnership with nodal national training institutes accredited under national schemes. Developing appropriate Training Modules and supporting their delivery in over 10 states of India. Why Decentralised Sanitation Solutions Centralised sanitation solutions are not the norm in India. 68% of the urban population of India(2011 Census) relied on on-site sanitation, such as septic tanks and pits or open defecation. Decentralized sanitation solutions broadly classified as Faecal Sludge and Septage Management(FSSM), are critical for achieving the goals for urban sanitation under various national missions. Decentralized sanitation options are scientifically proven solutions to complement centralized systems or even replace them owing to their low operational cost, that have the potential to serve all urban and peri urban settelements and positively impact the lives and health for all. FSSM is the collection and transportation of faecal sludge from the containment system, treatment of the sludge at a designated site, followed by safe disposal or reuse of the treated sludge. Target Audience All stakeholders ranging from National Missions, State and Town Officials(Public Health, Engineering and Administration), Elected Representatives, Private Sector Consultants and Vendors, NGOs, Academia, Masons and the Citizens at large. The Platform provides a sharing and cross learning opportunity for SCBP Partners. To pool in their knowledge resources on all aspects of urban sanitation capacity building. Facilitates joint development of training modules, learning and advocacy material including developing Key Messages and Content. And a platform for sharing and dissemination of FSSM Research, Advocacy and outreach to State governments and Urban Local Bodies. Over the last two years the Platform has produced Training Modules and Lerning Content on Decentralised Sanitation solutions, that is now accessed by a larger audience nationally and globally. Technical Assistance from SCBP has resulted in the first Assessments/DPRs for Faecal Sludge Treatment Plants for the states of UP and Bihar. Policy Advise has resulted in the frst Draft FSSM Policy of UP and Rajasthan. Research work has prodiced 4 Reports on sanitation status and challenges for towns of 4 states. Strategies State Level & National Capacity Building Support : Policy Advise, Training of ULB staff, Research and Advocacy Institutional Capacity Building : Nodal AMRUT Agencies and State Training Institutes Capacity Building and Trainings Support Acadmeia and Private Sector Capacity Building Support and Engagement Capacity building strategy at state level : 4 Modules Sensitization/ orientation training for all ULBs (Elected Representatives, Engineers from ULB and Parastatal, Commissioner/EO) First Specialized Training for Commissioner/EO and Engineers: ODF and ODF++ City and exposure visit to Wai/ Sinar (selected SBM cities) Integrated waste water management and exposure visit in Pune (selected AMRUT cities) Technology option for FSM and exposure visit to Devanahalli (ten selected cities where detailed engagement is planned for supporting incremental changes/ preparation of DPR) Second Specialized Training on planning and financing of FSM projects for Commissioner/ EO and Engineers from 10-15 selected cities where detailed engagement is planned for supporting incremental changes/ preparation of DPR International Exposure visit for state officials, Elected Representatives, Engineers from ULB and Parastatal, Commissioner/EO (five selected cities for which support is to be provided for preparation of DPR for FSTP) SCBP is now undertaking a Review of all Training Modules developed in the last 2 years on FSSM, with the aim of improving their content, structure and effectiveness. SCBP is also exanding its engagement with the Nodal Training Institutes and with the Acadmia to integrate FSSM into their course curriculum for wider outreach and impact.

Innovation Hub for Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Solutions (IHUWASH)
The primary goal of the IHUWASH project is to improve the urban WASH sector performance through incubation and acceleration of innovative solutions, technologies, programs and service delivery models within a collaborative framework. To achieve this, city innovation hubs have been established in 3 the focus states of Karnataka (Mysuru), Rajasthan (Udaipur), and Haryana (Faridabad). The project is also supporting the national missions like Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for all by 2030.
Operationalising National Urban Innovation Hub (NUIH)
Since June 2018, NIUA initiated an engagement with key relevant stakeholders through series of consultations. Objective to define the strategy for digital interventions under MoHUAurban programs. One of the key recommendations of these consultations is a new institutional ecosystem to curate an ecosystem of innovators globally who are interested in India’s urbanization and who already have or are devising solutions appropriate for India’s cities. Such institution would facilitate the ecosystem through Physical and Virtual interventions. The virtual hub shall be powered by a technology solution 'National Urban Innovation Stack' (NUIS). National Urban Innovation Hub (NUIH) is proposed as the Foundational Institution to Catalyse the Ecosystem for Urban Transformation. Detailed business plan for restructuring NIUA into NIUH has been prepared and is under review with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India. As the current urban programs are towards the end of mission period, there is established need to initiate activities related to capacity building, collaboration, knowledge sharing and exchange to prepare cities for the next way of urban interventions. Hence the work related to Virtual Hub is being perused on priority. This scope of the project funded by Department for International Development (DFID) is to develop and manage the learning platform of the Virtual Hub under National Urban Innovation Hub (NUIH). The 'National Urban Learning Platform' is identified as a priority during consultations with Ministry and other key stakeholders.
Smartnet is an initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to support the development of cities across India by creating a resource-rich ecosystem of learning, sharing, knowledge dissemination and solutions exchange for city managers and primary stakeholders in the urban transformation of India. Smartnet encourages Government to Government (G-to-G) and Government to Business (G-to-B) and Business to Government (B-to-G) linkages for the urban sector in India enabling transparent and structured interactions between cities, businesses and institutions. Over the years, Smartnet has supported in: • Providing a horizontal learning and knowledge sharing platform for exchange between cities, practitioners, academia, researchers and technologists • Evolving a comprehensive framework to visualise and articulate the government's urban sector missions. Through its features, SmartNet provides cities and key stakeholders in the urban forum an opportunity to share their training programmes, key events, knowledge products and tender documents. It also supports private sector stakeholders by providing a platform for the industries to showcase their ideas and innovations developed for cities. At City level, city-wise web enabled GIS application for geotagging of projects is also facilitated through this project. The platform also shares weekly updates with its users showcasing various events activities happening under the Smart Cities Mission.
Knowledge Partner of CapaCITIES (Capacity Building for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development in Cities)
The CapaCITIES project endeavours to understand the climate change implications, strengthening capacities of the city authorities, formulating the climate action plans and strategies across priority sectors to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and build resilience in selected four partner cities (Coimbatore, Rajkot, Siliguri and Udaipur). The project is funded by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) under its Global Programme on Climate Change. A consortium consisting of ICLEI South Asia, South Pole Carbon Management Ltd and e-concept AG are implementing partners for the project whereas Municipal Corporation and City Level Authorities of partner cities are public sector partners. NIUA is the Knowledge Aggregator and Disseminator for the project.
IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IN INDIAN CITIES
NIUA received a grant from the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF) in October 2017, for taking forward the research project (and many definitive knowledge products) on Transit Oriented Development (TOD) done by NIUA in early 2017. The focus was proposed to be on financial mobilization (through Value Capture Finance mechanisms), land assembly, legal reform and institutional arrangements. Hence, the project objective was to assist an implementing agency in taking forward the TOD proposal to a ‘ready to implement stage’ by addressing the above focus-areas. After much reconnaissance and deliberation, an MoU was signed with the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) to assist them on TOD implementation along the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor, in line with the SSEF objectives.
Third Party Audit (TPA) of Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPAS) of Delhi and Mumbai for Ease of Doing Business (EoDB)
Third Party Audit (TPA) of Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPAS) of Delhi and Mumbai for Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) NIUA has been asked to lead the Third Party Audit of Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPAS) of Delhi and Mumbai. This is following earlier proposals for the same, and has dual focus: - Reforms agenda of improving service delivery with lesser human interface and more accountability, and to ensure that full realization by the beneficiaries of the system - Improvement in India's performance and rank in the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) report of the World Bank, under the indicator 'Construction Permits' which is under MoHUA The audit involves understanding of the Regulations, procedures and process flows within and outside the Corporations, regular checking of the OBPAS system, progress on reforms, checked against constant feedback from the users and own access to system, and removing bottlenecks for further improvements. All this done while keeping in mind the methodology of the Doing Business report of the World Bank. As per the Doing Business 2017, India stands at 130th position in the ranking of 190 economies across the Globe, while with respect to construction permits, India stands at 185. Doing Business methodology for construction permits measures the quality of regulations and efficiency of the process for completing all the formalities to build a warehouse under given parameters, under four sub-indicators: Procedures (number – from either side; submitting, processing and receiving counted separately) Time (days for permit process only – not counting the construction time in between) Cost (fees to be paid for permits, fees & municipal services only, not related to construction itself) Quality (Building Quality Control index based on supervision aspect before, during & after construction and insurance regimes in place) The TPA team has to: - On continual basis, do the work of auditing, making recommendations and setting timelines for action, presented with proofs, in weekly or fortnightly presentations to the Task Force constituted for the purpose, at MoHUA. - To Lend support to the corporations in their interactions with vendors, NOC agencies, other departments, stakeholders, etc. as and when required to match the above recommendations and outcomes with efforts - To support MoHUA with interactions with State Governments, Stakeholders, DIPP, WB, etc. to ensure that work is on target and as per expectations In addition to the above work and material, to support MoHUA on any analysis and doubts; and to submit mid-term and final work reports.
India Smart Cities Fellowship Programme 2019
The India Smart Cities Fellowship is an initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) under the Smart Cities Mission to cultivate youth leadership and usher vibrancy in the design of India’s urban future. In 2019, a pioneer batch of thirty-nine young professionals were inducted as Fellows, who applied their skills and experience to 12 projects in Smart Cities across the country by providing creative solutions to pressing challenges being faced by India’s urban sector. NIUA is involved in developing and implementing the selection process, and maintaining managerial control of the fellowship on behalf of MoHUA.
Policy Support Facility (PSF) to the Smart & Sustainable Urbanisation Partnership (SSUP) between the India and the European Union (EU)
Background The EU aims to contribute to the sustainable urbanisation development and application of sustainable urban and energy policies. Increasing demographic and environmental pressure oblige Indian cities to transport and adopt resilient and sustainable ways of development, considering all the aspects. The EU promotes the partnerships in order to assure the exchangeson best practices, innovative solutions, technologies and long term planning for safer and more sustainable urban habitats. Based on EU-Mumbai Partnership experience and lessons learned, the EU-India dialogue on sustainable urbanisation matured over 2016 and 2017 and in October 2017 a Joint Declaration was agreed to set up a Partnership on Smart and Sustainable Urbanisation to promote the cooperation between EU and India on sustainable urban development. The Partnership considers the respective capabilities of India and the EU for implementing the global commitments in the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations New Urban Agenda (NUA) and the Paris Climate Change agreement, as well as Indian flagship programmes as Swashh Bharat, the 100 Smart Cities Mission and AMRUT. The Partnership will provide opportunities in water, air quality, resource efficiency and circular economy, clean energy, energy efficiency, greening urban transport, ICT solutions, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in cities. As tested at pilot Metropolitan Labs in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, its further development will contribute to timely implementation of actions outlined as priorities in the Work Plan for 2018-2020 based on Joint Declaration.These actions will allow linking the best practices and experience from various projects related to smart cities and the urban sector like the EU-Mumbai Partnership, the International Urban Cooperation action, the ICT standardisation action, the Air quality Initiative and others, generalising the results to feed into the national policy agenda. The preparation towards the Partnership was supported in 2016 and 2017 by a services contract funded by the Partnership Instrument through its Policy Support Facility (PSF). The Project will closely work with the other EU-funded projects such as International Urban Cooperation project; India EU Water Partnership project; Clean Energy and Climate Partnership project, Resource Efficiency Initiative project, Business support to EU-India Policy dialogue project.

HS BASE: Can Cleveland make a comeback?
Posted on February 28, 2011 by Gerry Gittelson
After a three-year run ending in 2009 saw Cleveland twice reach Dodger Stadium and qualify for the City semifinals the year between, the Cavaliers struggled with a lot of young players last year and finished 10-19.
“We graduated 14 seniors from that 2009 team, and you saw the result,” coach Greg Venger said. “It was a rough year last year, obviously, with four staring 10th graders.”
The good news is most of the key players are back, including shortstop G Brown — just the G for his first name — a stocky 5-foot-5 dynamo who batted .319 with 15 stolen bases, along with pitcher Josh Gomez.
Plus, impact transfer Jack Hartman has arrived from Notre Dame.
“That was a huge pickup for us. Jack Hartman has instantly come in to be our No. 1,” Venger said. “I think we’ll be all right this year even though we went be unnoticed for the first part of the season. It can either way.”

HS BASE: Sylmar copes with loss of returning league co-MVP
Sylmar is hurting without top pitcher Edgar Ruiz, who was the co-Valley Mission MVP before undergoing shoulder surgery this past fall.
“It’s a big loss,” coach Ray Riviera said. “But we’ll be OK. We’ll find a way.”
Sylmar figures to depend on seniors Juvenal Terrazas and Frankie Figueroa. Terrazas is a 6-foot-2 pitcher and a top student, and Figueroa a tough, gritty catcher, Riviera said.
A couple of other top baseball players are not returning in the Marmonte League. Westlake’s Nelson Spruce is taking the year off after signing a football scholarship with Colorado, and Thousand Oaks’ Tim Ginther left the team.

HS BASE: Former Major Leaguer from Notre Dame High dies [udpated]
About an hour before he was scheduled to be inducted into Notre Dame High’s inaugural Hall of Fame class Saturday, former Major League baseball player Greg Goossen was found dead in his Sherman Oaks home by his oldest daughter. He was 65.
“It was something he was very much looking forward to, and a lot of the friends he grew up with were at Notre Dame to share his moment,” said his brother Dan, a top boxing promoter. “He was supposed to be at the school early to take pictures at 5 p.m., and it got to be 5:30, a quarter to six, and his oldest daughter Erin went to his house and found him. It was not anything we expected because he seemed in good health and great spirits.”
Greg Goossen was a two-time All-Southern Section selection in football and baseball at Notre Dame, spurning a USC football scholarship to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1964. He was traded to the Mets and eventually played six seasons in the majors.
“There was a great picture at the Hall of Fame event with Greg standing between Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale,” said Jeff Kraemer, a longtime Notre Dame football assistant who played under Goossen in 1976 when he returned to coach at his alma mater for a few years. “Greg often came back to visit through the years, and he was Mr. Notre Dame. He had a big effect on everyone at Notre Dame, and we’ll miss him. He was as tough as they come, a tough football coach, but he had a soft side to him.”
Bill Seward was the emcee of the Hall of the Fame event, and because of the timing, it was tough to get through the evening.
“It was devastating, obviously, especially in regards to the event because so many people had lined up and come to see him,” Seward said. “We had talked a few days ago, and Greg was so very excited about the event and so looking forward to it, and everyone was looking forward to seeing him.”
Goossen worked as a private detective and a boxing trainer. He also worked as an actor and was a longtime stand-in for Gene Hackman.
One of 10 children, he is survived by three daughters.
The cause of death has not been determined, Funeral arrangements are pending, Dan Goossen said.
“There were five empty tables at Notre Dame, and that was reflective of the support of family and friends that Greg had,” Goossen said. “It goes without saying the family was very, very close through the years. I still saw Greg three times a week.
“He is going to be dearly missed, not just by me but by the rest of his family, his daughters, his brothers and sisters and even his two little dogs who were as much a part of his family as the rest of us.”

HS BASE: Hillcrest Christian junior is big-time slugger at small school
After a huge sophomore season that included a .696 batting average and 10 home runs in 18 games, small-school slugger Josh Clark is ready for another big year for Hillcrest Christian in Granada Hills.
“My goal is to hit 15 this year and 20 to 25 as a senior,” Clark said.
Heritage Christian plays home games at North Valley, a tight field with fences from 280 to 300 feet, but some of Clark’s home runs have traveled 400.
“It is very small, but we actually don’t have many home games scheduled there this year,” Clark said. “We’re playing a lot of away games, and we were going to play our games at Granada Hills High, but I guess it didn’t work out. I’m just working hard, and hopefully I’ll have a good year.”
Last year, Clark hit six home runs over the first six games, including three against Trinity Classical. He finished with 37 RBIs in 56 at-bats, then spent the summer competing against club players from larger schools.
“I know what good pitching looks like,” he said.
Clark is not a bad pitcher himself. Last year, he was 6-3 with a 2.14 ERA and 81 strikeouts in 56 innings.
HS HOOPS: Alemany falls to Windward in semis
After returning all five starters from last season’s section-finalist team, Alemany High waited nearly a year for a chance to get back to a title game and perhaps win a boys’ basketball championship for the first time in the Mission Hills school’s 55-year history.
It’s not going to happen.
Alemany dug itself an early hole Friday was eliminated by Windward 79-67 in the Southern Section Div. IV-AA semifinals at Hart High.
The host Warriors (20-11) connected on 38.6 percent from the floor, including just 3 of 18 3-pointers, and they expended too much energy trying to catch up, first from an early 12-point deficit that was sliced to four, then from a 21-point second-half lead that was cut to nine.
Factor in a terrific performance by Windward, particularly Nick Stover (26 points, 19 rebounds) and Wesley Saunders (19 points), and Alemany just could not come back.
“Our shots just weren’t falling, and we were having a tough time with their transition game,” Alemany guard Max Guercy said. “They’re guards played great, too. It was a tough game for us.”
Saunders, a Harvard-bound senior, scored 13 points in the first half, as Windward (23-7) first began pulling away, but Alemany went on a 14-4 in the second quarter and eventually pulled to within four.
Windward began the third quarter with a 19-2 run to pull ahead 53-32, but against Alemany rallied, and in the fourth quarter a 15-5 run helped the Warriors close the gap to nine but never closer.
“Alemany did a good job of keeping the pressure on,” Saunders said. “We knew it was going to be a game of runs, so we tried to stay focused.”
HS HOOPS: Cold-starting Alemany trails Windward by six at half
Alemany got off to a slow start against Windward, falling behind by 12 points early in the second quarter, as the cold-shooting Warriors were not hitting their shots while struggling to keep up with Windward’s quick transition game.
But the Warriros have crept back, and it’s 34-29 Windward leading at the half.
If Alemany wants to get all the way back in, someone needs to neutralize Windward’s Wesley Saunders, who has 13 points. He eats up shorter players down low, and if a post player tries to guard him, he drives right past.

What happens when we are constructed as adversary and ally, encumbrance and friend? In the next chapter, I will try to show how such doubling can occur within the writing of one student, Devlyn, who discovered a creative way to approach his rhetorical predicament. ” In the years since its first publication, Elbow’s article has been cited, praised, disparaged by some, but generally acknowledged as an important counterstatement to a good deal of then-current thinking about audience. Elbow’s article proceeds from what he calls a “limited claim,” his view that “even though ignoring audience will usually lead to weak writing at first .
These are composed of “that person who intimidates us” or those “people who make us feel dumb when we try to speak to them” (51) or even such 32 S AY I N G A N D S I L E N C E “readers with whom we have an awkward relationship” (52). Indeed, for Elbow, it goes without saying that inhibiting audiences are, by definition, impediments to a writer’s struggle to say something authentic and compelling to others. But they are something else too. Notice that, in Elbow’s descriptions, inhibiting audiences are almost always personal, immediate, overwhelmingly present.
Or, as the contemporary philosopher, Hilary Putnam, has pointed out: “We always speak the language of a time and place; but the rightness and wrongness of what we say is not just for a time and place” (247). If this were not the case, we would face the curious necessity of having to attach a subtextual rider to every utterance we make, a disclaimer of sorts that might be translated thus: “Of course, you must realize that the words I speak to you have no meaning beyond the here and now in which they are spoken.

In A Diverse State, California’s Latino Doctors Push For More Of Their Own
Latinos make up about 40 percent of the population in California — outnumbering any other ethnic-racial group, and are expected to constitute a majority of the state’s population by 2050. But only about 5 percent of all physicians in the state and 8 percent of nurses are Latino. But that may soon be changing. California’s Medical DREAMER Opportunity Act may help more Latinos become doctors building more diversity in the medical industry. The new law will allow students without papers pursuing medical professions to apply for state scholarships and loan forgiveness programs.
This is good news for Latino families who hold on to traditional and cultural values.
“Latinos are very family-centric, we take care of our old, we learn traditional home remedies,” Dr. Silvia Diego, a family doctor in Modesto said. “It’s difficult to establish a patient-doctor relationship if [doctors] don’t understand or dismiss cultural values.”

Tour Song

My 2nd time seeing Yes was this tour and IMHO one of the greatest ever. Rick Wakeman was back of course,And the band was outstanding.We got to our seats just as Donavan was finishing "Atlantis".Perfect timing!One of the highlights was seeing them do "CLOSE TO THE EDGE" for(my)first time! The laser-light effects during "I GET UP,I GET DOWN" part of the song were spell-binding!From what I remember,Anderson and Squire pulled of the vocals for "GOING FOR THE ONE" perfectly(as opposed to the somewhat flawed version from the "Yesshows"CD).It must be one of the most difficult songs for them to sing live,though.
"FLIGHT JAM/AWAKEN left me speechless and awestruck!"STARSHIP TROOPER" was,of course, great as well.Someday,I hope to see decent footage of this tour.I have a burned dvd of the Glasgow show, but the quality of it is pretty bad. The visuals are like watching them through a murky glass of water,and the audio is like listening to a cheap drive-in movie speaker.Maybe Someday.....BUT YES LIVES ON!!!!
Brian Ciastko
I must have gone to the Sept. 3rd Concert. After reading the review the person made of the Sept. 2nd show, saying that Donovan was well received, I remember for a fact that our crowd almost booed him off the stage. All we wanted to do is get to the "Main Course" of Prime Rib, not that "one hit wonder" cheap appetizer.
In my opinion, in which many of you will agree, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Bill Buford/Alan White had a chemistry, or an ability to create some of the most complex, mind boggling, beautiful, heart pumping rock music, the world has ever heard. Furthermore that chemistry and that uniqueness will never ever be equaled or surpassed for the rest of time.

MTL 0 1 0 1
Makar, Avalanche bounce back, beat Canadiens 4-1
Burakovsky puts Avs up 3-1 in the 3rd period
Andre Burakovsky nets the goal to put the Avalanche up two vs Montreal.
MONTREAL -- — Cale Makar scored to put Colorado ahead to stay late in the second period, Valeri Nichushkin had a goal and an assist, and the Avalanche beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Thursday night.
Andre Borkovsky and Gabriel Landeskog also scored for the Avalanche, who bounced back from an ugly 8-3 loss at Toronto a night earlier.
“I think our team is really understanding of what we have to do on both sides of the puck in hockey games,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “And I think last night was a real example. In Toronto, we came out and they were more determined, they checked harder than we checked.”
Goalie Jonas Johansson made 19 saves for Colorado, playing on back-to-back nights because starter Darcy Kuemper is out with an upper-body injury.
“I was really proud of him,” Bednar said. “As a young goalie, generally we wouldn’t play our guy back-to-back but in this case he hasn’t played a lot of hockey and I wanted to see what he was made of tonight because last night was a tough night for him and for the team.
“He’s been working hard with us for months now and he’s only played a handful of games and this is an opportunity now for him to string some games together.”
Ben Charot scored for Montreal, and Jake Allen stopped 30 of 33 shots.
Colorado opened the scoring with a short-handed goal in the second period. Loan O’Connor passed to a wide-open Nichushkin in front of the net.
Chiarot leveled the score for Montreal with his fifth goal of the season. His slap shot from the point deflected off an Avalanche player and ringed off the post before beating Johansson.
The Avs regained the lead late in the second when Makar deflected Samuel Girard’s shot from the blue line for his 10th goal of the season.
Burakovsky gave Colorado a 3-1 advantage in the third period by tapping in a loose puck in front of the net.
Landeskog added an empty-netter with 2:49 left.
Before the game, coach Dominique Ducharme confirmed that forward Brendan Gallagher and defenseman Sami Niku have tested positive for COVID-19, ruling them out for at least 10 days. Josh Anderson will be out for two to four weeks with an upper body injury, Ducharme said.
FANS HAVE HAD ENOUGH
A fan, seemingly frustrated by the Canadiens’ recent poor play, threw a Habs jersey on the ice during the third period.
“I saw it. It’s not a good feeling for the players,” said forward Nick Suzuki, who wears No. 14. “I think it was one of my jerseys so, I don’t know if it was, but I thought I saw a four.”
The Canadiens fired general manager Marc Bergevin on Sunday but have lost two games since.
“It’s tough to get booed but the fans want to see wins, they’re used to productive teams and we’re not doing that right now,” said Suzuki. “I can definitely see why they’re getting angry.”
Avalanche: At Ottawa on Saturday.
Canadiens: At Nashville on Saturday.

Truth Hurts: CeCe Peniston accuses Lizzo of stealing part of “Finally” for her Absolut Juice ad
October 18th, 2019 by KRNB
Atlantic RecordsLizzo is cashing in on her gold-certified hit “Juice,” which is featured in the ad campaign for Absolut’s new beverage, Absolut Juice. But CeCe Peniston is claiming that the “Truth Hurts” star stole part of her biggest hit, “Finally,” for the track.
“Anytime anybody uses a song over 7 seconds, that’s using a ‘portion’ of their copyright,” CeCe comments on Instagram. “Lizzo not only takes over that, she’s used several times [that,] adding up to about 40 seconds. It’s my lyric it’s written down as well.”
“It’s the signature to the opening in my song #finally and all commercials are using it from the ‘Adlib’ section because they know it’s catchy,” she adds. “Sooo #notjustanadlib it’s a check !!!!”
To illustrate her point, the 50-year-old singer posted part of her original song along with Lizzo’s track for the Absolut commercial.
“Finally,” CeCe’s 1991 debut single, reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club chart, and hit the top five on the Billboard Hot 100.
So far, Lizzo has not publicly responded to CeCe’s claim.
As previously reported, earlier this week, songwriter Justin Raisen also accused Lizzo of plagiarism. He claims that he and three other people composed a song titled “Healthy” with her, and that she used lyrics, melody, and chords from that track in her hit “Truth Hurts,” without giving him credit or compensation.

Councils due to submit air quality plans to Government
Air quality consultations are coming to a close in three cities – Derby, Nottingham, and Southampton – mandated by Government to consider introducing clean air zones. The cities (along with Leeds and Birmingham), have pollution levels needing the most urgent action outside of London.
The capital will introduce its ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) next year, but these five cities have to submit final air quality plans to the Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture (Defra) for approval in the next few weeks.
Leeds and Birmingham consultations have already closed, with Leeds favouring a charging system for non-compliant buses, coaches, HGVs, taxis and private hire vehicles (pre-Euro 6 diesel and pre-Euro 4 petrol). If approved by Government, the proposed scheme would come into force in 2020.
Leeds City Council revised the boundary of its clean air zone (CAZ) after listening to the concerns of businesses and fleet operators.
Council representatives met with members of the fleet industry at a roundtable, jointly hosted by British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), Energy Saving Trust (EST), fleet operators’ association ACFO and Fleet News.
In Birmingham, the council has set out plans for a zone covering just the area inside its Middle Ring Road – smaller than the city-wide zone that had been feared by those responsible for deliveries to businesses within the centre of the city.
However, its proposals will cover all vehicles. Buses, coaches and HGVs that meet Euro VI emissions standards, and cars, vans and taxis that meet Euro 6 (diesel) or Euro 4 (petrol) emissions standards would be exempt from any charges or restrictions.
Vans as recent as three years old will be charged under the proposals and fleets could find many grey fleet drivers affected.
Southampton City Council is seeking views on a plan to charge buses, coaches, HGVs, taxis and private hire vehicles that do not meet the latest emissions standards, with the consultation closing on September 13.
In contrast, Derby City Council’s favoured option involves re-routing traffic away from pollution hotspots and creating incentives to replace older, more polluting vehicles and support for sustainable travel, rather than introducing charges. Its consultation closes on September 24.
Nottingham City Council is also aiming to avoid introducing a CAZ thanks to a combination of stricter emissions requirements for taxis and modifying city buses so they are more environmentally friendly. Its consultation closes today (September 10).
Professional, knowledgeable, responsive and friendly, which is why I now have them financing all the vehicles in our fleet

Minor Artemis Canon Announcement: Blips are Out :-)
posted Dec 27, 2012 00:19:31 by Mike_Substelny
Thom has asked me to help develop some official Artemis canon documents and I'm hard at work on the project. I've just made a discovery/decision:
There are blips on certain screens (Tactical, LRS, Helm, Weapons, Science, Captain's Map, and Game Master) that represent ships, monsters, stations, etc. I've always called these things "blips" or "icons" but those terms are inaccurate because Artemis displays give a lot more information than a mere blip.
Henceforth the official term, which I borrowed from air traffic controllers, will be "Position Symbol." In the illustration above, the position symbol for G60 shows the target at bearing 146, range 519, with shields up. The player ship is within the arc of all of G60's beam weapons. Position symbols in Artemis SBS give a lot of information!
I have needed a term for this every time I've trained new Artemis players. Now the whole Artemis community has one. You're welcome. :-)

I prefer position indicator
TreChipman said Dec 28, 2012 05:01:53
I think the actual term used is "Radar Position Symbol" or RPS, but SPS (Scanner/Sensor Position Symbol) is probably more appropriate to the background and is slightly quicker to say than "Position Symbol", and time is always of the essence in Artemis. It's sorta like yelling "Micky, duck down!" instead of "Ensign Phineas Quagmire McGillicutty, duc-- oh, well... too late."
That being said, I personally like "Contact" instead, because "Tactical, target contact G34" sounds cooler than "Tactical, target position signal G34", and seriously, unless you're playing with former ATCs, cool, not accuracy, should be driving this bus.
I'm not a mad scientist. I'm an angry one. You'd be wise to fear the latter.
Visit Artemis Command!
Mike_Substelny said Dec 28, 2012 05:28:15
Tre: I agree that "contact" is good for bridge orders. I'm referring to written training material.
And I don't think the word radar has been in it for a long time, since aircraft are tracked by transponders. Because Artemis SBS assumes some data comes from player sensors, some from station sensors, some from friendly and neutral transponders, I think generic "position symbol" will do.
Ashley: I like position indicator, too. But position symbol has fewer syllables. :-)
NOTE: THIS RESPONSE IS MOST EFFECTIVE IF READ IN THE VOICE OF THE COMIC BOOK GUY FROM THE SIMPSONS.
splitting hairs
You're right, Mike, but IIRC, transponders are generally tuned to respond to specific queries on frequencies friendlies are broadcasting upon and pass back a good deal of data (in fact, just the frequency you broadcast on can serve as a duress signal, a mechanical failure, etc., for example), while radar contacts are flying hunks of metal that aren't interested in talking back (i.e. badguys). So,yes, associating position symbols to transponders are totally appropriate in allied fleet maneuvers, associating them to enemy contacts is probably not going to get you anywhere (although decrypting that could be a fun thing for communications to hack).
/splitting hairs
xavierwise, I am not ignoring you. I think you have set out to come up with something much more intense than I.
Charlie said Dec 28, 2012 07:13:59
the position symbol for G60 shows the target at bearing 146, range 519, with shields up
I think as a technical term or training term any of these I like so Position Symbol sounds good, and different bridges can use there own bridge talk. I usually call a target a Target or Enemy, but Bogey works anything seems better than
"Ensign Phineas Quagmire McGillicutty, duc-- oh, well... too
but every Blip on the radar is a Position Symbol not necessarily a Target.
TheoBrinkman said Dec 31, 2012 01:30:36
All the more reason for the generic term, "Contact", or "Sensor Contact" when in the field.
Also applicable: "Unknown Vessel", etc.
Once you know what you're dealing with, 'Position Symbol' isn't really what you're talking about, except when you're discussing the actual visual indicator on screen. IOW: It's fine for a 'training manual' write-up, but the manual might also give common terms used when referring to the thing the Position Symbol represents.
Using BSG as an example, the sensor operator doesn't shout about multiple new Position Symbols, it's "Multiple DRADIS contacts!" because they're not actually informing the captain about the lights on their display, they're informing the captain about the new *vessels* which have appeared in sensor range.
DaveWightman said Mar 09, 2013 18:18:39
I love the idea to standardize verbiage, but my only concern is practicality. A person can say "blip" very quickly, so I would hope we could get some verbiage that is short or at least abbreviates nicely. :p
AdmlBaconStraps said Mar 10, 2013 00:12:28
If it helps, the official word (for things like radar controllers and military monitoring stations) is 'Contact'
Charlie said Mar 10, 2013 14:37:11
the sensor operator doesn't shout about multiple new Position Symbols
no but "Position symbols" on the sensors would indicate "unknown contacts". I didn't think Mike was wondering what to call this stuff in combat but what to call a "symbol" on the map that gives information about a "contact.
You would not call, "the (contact) is giving me information about the (contact)", you would say "the (position symbol) indicates...(unknown contact, 30 k distance, sector A4)"
Mike_Substelny said Mar 11, 2013 15:30:08
I have no illusion that crews will say the words "position symbol" during combat. But the manual needed a term that sounded military and I went with position symbol. If you were attending a military academy, I guarantee your instructor would say something like "Select the nearest vessel by clicking on its position symbol" rather than "Select the nearest vessel by clicking on its blip."

In addition to the requirements of this Ordinance, and/or modified as stated in this section, the following shall apply depending on the type of record plat being submitted:

No previous transfer under this provision has been granted to the grantee;
The grantee is able to hold real estate under Virginia law;
Lots created pursuant to this section shall be titled in the name of the grantee for a period of time no less than five (5) years unless such lots are subject to an involuntary transfer due to foreclosure, death, judicial sale, condemnation, or bankruptcy. Such provisions shall be noted as a restrictive covenant in each deed of transfer;
The grantor and grantee shall sign an affidavit, in a format approvable by the Subdivision Agent, upon which both parties certify compliance with all requirements of this Ordinance and the Code of Virginia pertaining to family subdivisions; and
Draft copies of all deeds associated with a family subdivision shall be submitted along with the requisite plats for review by the Subdivision Agent.
Boundary Line Adjustments. Plats showing the adjustment of property lines, or other boundary line(s), between contiguous lots shall be subject to the following provisions:
If any lot or property to be adjusted is six (6) acres or less in area, the boundaries of the property shall be shown on the plat in their entirety based on either a current field survey or existing plats of record in the Circuit Court;

If the area of adjustment is between different property owners, a draft copy of the deed of conveyance shall be submitted along with the requisite plats.

The boundaries of all properties included in the consolidation shall be shown on the plat in their entirety;

Agricultural Subdivisions. Plats showing the creation of a lot for bona fide agricultural purposes shall be subject to the following:
Approval of the plat by VDH and VDOT shall not be required, provided the lot on the plat is clearly marked with the following statement: “Not approved as a residential or commercial building lot”;
The deed for the lot shall clearly indicate that it is approved as an agricultural subdivision and not approved as a residential or commercial building lot;
Prior to any non-agricultural development of the lot, the previous plat showing the agricultural subdivision shall be vacated and a new subdivision plat approved pursuant to this Ordinance. For the purposes of this section, non-agricultural development shall refer to any residential, commercial, or industrial uses and/or structures, but not intensive livestock facilities otherwise regulated by the Zoning Ordinance.
Sec. 54-45. – Multiple Actions on a Single Record Plat.
Record plats submitted for review and approval pursuant to this Article shall generally contain only one (1) type of action per plat, and shall each be subject to individual fees for plat review. The Subdivision Agent, at his/her sole discretion, may allow a single application for record plat review for multiple actions on a property (e.g. a consolidation and subsequent subdivision of two adjacent lots). This is provided he/she determines, via a pre-application request by the subdivider, that the clarity of the plat information and the actions being performed are not hindered by being shown on a single plat.
Sec. 54-46. – Improvements Plan Information.
An improvements plan for any road, sidewalk, water/sewer, stormwater, or other physical improvements required as part of the development which are related to any of the following types of development shall be submitted with the record plat review application:

Such agencies shall have up to forty-five (45) days to review the application and provide comments or approvals. If revisions to the application are needed to address comments, the forty-five (45) day review period shall restart from the date of the revised submittal to the agency.

Record plat and plan approval. Once the submittal is deemed approvable, the Subdivision Agent shall notify the subdivider of the approval, and provide his/her approval signature on the plat/plan along with the date of approval. Approval may be given only after any sureties and/or agreements have been posted as may be required by this Ordinance. As part of the approval notification, the Subdivision Agent shall also specify what steps may remain in order to obtain permits for construction. The subdivider shall also make available, upon request by the County, a digital copy of the final submittal. If the Subdivision Agent denies the plat/plan or does not act within the required review periods, the subdivider may request review by the Circuit Court pursuant to § 15.2-2260(D) or (E) of the Code of Virginia.
Recordation in the Circuit Court. Any plat approved pursuant to this Ordinance shall be recorded in the Circuit Court by the owner within six (6) months of approval by the County, or shall be considered void. This period may be extended to one (1) year pursuant to § 15.2-2241(8) of the Code of Virginia. The owner shall provide the County with a copy of the receipt of recordation once completed.

Artist: Chronic Edge
Musik and Film – 2013
Eleanor Rigby – I Feel Your Love
Produced by: Jeff Silverman and Vince DeVincenzo
Mixed, Mastered and Additional Recording by: Jeff Silverman, Palette Music Studio Productions (MSP), Nashville, TN
Vince DeVincenzo, the lead singer and co-producer of this project, called me and said that he wanted to explore some new ways to add more ammunition to his already released single “Eleanor Rigby.” He also wanted to get my take on another track / song he had entitled “Runaway,” which has now been restructured and retitled to “I Feel Your Love.” He especially wanted to put new blood and life into “Eleanor Rigby” because of his up and coming new video of the song. At the same time, he also wanted to give a “face lift” to not only both mixes, but set the tone for a new direction for his band sound.
Because Vince and I had worked together in the past and not only had a great line of communication in place, we were instantly on the same page when I suggested implementing cellos for both tracks and at the same time, bring in a new 19 year old guitar player that has become my “go to” shredder ROCKER, Tyler Reese. Not only did cellist extraordinaire John Catchings do some of the most tasteful playing to date, but Tyler rose to the occasion by bringing his BLAZING fast yet EXTREMELY tasteful lead licks to the table.
The tracks were in good shape recording wise, but they were desperately in need of remixing and mastering. Vince’s STELLAR singing was a natural to have fall right into place, but the instrumentation needed some TLC. Once we got the new players / elements into the existing tracks, then it was just a matter of clean up work, tightening up misc parts here or there and then using the “less is more” approach to achieve more dynamics out of the music.
The end result turned out even better than we both anticipated and we’re now in the process of adding even more songs to what I believe will be a brand new EP coming out very soon!
You can hear other Chronic Edge samples and read some more interesting tidbits about the making of this song “Don’t Give Up On Me” in the Before & After Section of this site.

Dr Shaibal Gupta on the Bihar elections
Last updated on: October 20, 2010 15:34 IST
'Nitish govt has given Bihar its lost identity'
The man who has studied Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar from a vantage position in Patna's corridors of power speaks to Sheela Bhatt.
Rediff.com begins its coverage of the upcoming Bihar assembly election.
It is difficult to analyse and put in perspective the economic and sociological issues of a state as complex as Bihar. Dr Shaibal Gupta, director of the Patna-based Asian Development Research Institute, has been doing that for many decades.
Dr Gupta sees Bihar's fascinating politics and the issue of land and agriculture through the eyes of an economist.
He is a post-graduate from Patna University and has a doctorate in economics. His lifetime passion is to research Bihar's development problems.
While carrying out surveys in rural Bihar, he has been studying the development issue through the prism of the political economy.
In his effort to make his research user-friendly he established the Asian Development Research Institute in Patna.
Along with its sister organisation, the State Resource Centre, ADRI also works on adult education from Patna and Ranchi in Jharkhand.
Dr Gupta's book Bihar: Stagnation or Growth (edited with A N Sharma) is a significant source of reference on the state.
Dr Gupta, who has conducted extensive research on a variety of subjects including the study of dynamics of poverty, employment, education and demography in Bihar, is an expert on the state's industrialisation, caste and polity.
The man who has studied former chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar from a vantage position in Patna's corridors of power, discusses the upcoming assembly election in Bihar and much more in an interview with Rediff.com's Sheela Bhatt.

'The upper caste will never again come to power in Bihar'
Do you think the last five years have been a turning point in Bihar?
It is quite a turning point.
Nitish Kumar's five-year rule has created a certain benchmark.
Unlike many other states in post-independence India when Jawaharlal Nehru was building a nation State, there were many contemporary efforts in different states of India.
Like (legendary Congress leader K) Kamaraj was building up Tamil Nadu and (legendary Maharashtra Congress leader) Y B Chavan and Gujarati leaders were building strong regional states. There were no such commensurate efforts in states like Bihar.
The state-building efforts were not taken up in right earnest.
The important benchmark of this government is that they have taken up efforts to build the state.
Bihar is the only state in the country where there is a paradigm shift in the political power centre.
There is maximum democratisation due to various movements.
The movements led by the Socialists, Communists, Naxalites helped. Also, there was a social justice movement.
When in the 1990s Lalu Prasad came to power, the components of democratisation got much more solidified.
In places like Bihar, the upper castes will never come back to power. Only backward class leaders would lead the state.
However, when democratisation took place where subalterns came into prominence, they could not become a part of the structure of governance, which was not inclusive then and it was not inclusive when Nitish Kumar came to power.
What Nitish Kumar has done is that he has tried to put the subaltern section into the nuts and bolts of governance. He has reserved 50 percent seats for women, 20 per cent for the lower backwards and Dalits in Panchayati Raj.
He has ensured positive discrimination in many services including the judiciary. When the state structure was weak, radicals or criminals took up that space. Nitish has restored the authority of the State by ensuring the conviction of criminals.
He has ensured a joint collaboration of the executive, judiciary and legislature. He has ensured tripartite efforts to raise the conviction rate to 50,000 (cases), which is unprecedented.
Earlier, the convicted were from the marginal sections only, and now the critical component is that people from elite sections are facing conviction.
Previously, the elites thought they could get away with it.
Some of the legislators and members of Parliament from the ruling Janata Dal-United also got convicted, which was unthinkable earlier.
Previously, those who committed a crime, their stock increased in politics and they used to be natural aspirants for an election ticket. They used to flaunt their arms, publicly. Now, that is not the case.
Image: Lalu Prasad Yadav and his electoral ally Ram Vilas Paswan in Kishangunj
'Nitish Kumar has been able to create a roadmap'
Is the dramatic improvement in law and order a reality in villages too?
Conviction of the violators of law has increased. That doesn't mean that the crime rate is low.
Earlier, the fear of State was not there. When Nitish Kumar came to power, the State had almost abdicated its role as a social mediator.
In any crisis, the station house officer won't take note of the crime. People will go to the mafia or people who offered a remedy.
Now, there is restoration of the State's authority through a higher conviction rate.
Nitish choreographed this collaboration between the legislature, judiciary and executive.
What about the corrupt police force?
Nitish is institutionalising his ideas. The police is universally corrupt in our country.
In Bihar, the issue is that the administration has no institutional memory of good governance.
Nitish is trying to create some benchmark. For example, in any criminal case, the police had to produce the witness so that the accused get a conviction.
Now, if the police fails to bring in witnesses then his confidential report will not be proper. This kind of action is being taken now.
Earlier, in an arms case, the police never spoke up in court, to help the accused. Now, they are facing suspension and dismissal. These are very protracted affairs and didn't happen overnight.
In the last five years nothing substantial has been achieved, a lot has yet to be achieved. But, in the last five years Nitish Kumar has been able to create a roadmap.

'The Centre never understood how Bihar's interests were jeopardised'
How do you draw Nitish Kumar's balance sheet?
One achievement is related to governance.
Bihar was a non-functioning state. He has been able to build the state of Bihar.
>In a decisive manner he is bringing the marginal people into government structure. He is trying to develop the regional identity of Bihar, which was absent all these years.
Here the anchor of identity was caste or nation.
In south India and western India, all the anti-Brahmin or caste movements tuned into regional identity. And that passion converted into economic development.
As it happened in Maharshtra: The anti-Brahmin movement turned into the building of lucrative sugar cooperatives.
In Bihar it didn't happen.
Regional identity gives a person a sense of ownership of the state. Like, in Tamil Nadu, when the issue of benefit of state comes, everybody gets united.
I remember how (then Tamil Nadu chief minister J) Jayalalithaa arrested (her predecessor) Karunanidhi, but in a few months time when Dr (A P J) Abdul Kalam was made President and she was not invited, Karunanidhi objected and said it was an insult of Tamil sub-nationalism that the chief minister of Tamil Nadu was not invited.
On the issue of Tamil interest, every Tamil gets united. That has not been the case in Bihar.
There are many policies that the central government is following, that are detrimental for Bihar's interests. Like the freight equalisation of coal, cement and steel introduced in the 1950s.
There is no such measure in cotton and other products due to which western India benefited. Bihar was devastated due to the freight equalisation.
In spite of powerful Bihari bureaucrats and more powerful leaders at the Centre, they could not understand how Bihar's interests were jeopardised.
Now, for the first time, Nitish Kumar is giving some identity to Biharis after 1912 when Bihar got separated from Bengal.
For the first time after 98 years, Bihar Day was celebrated. It was symbolic.

'People think Nitish is a visionary'
This identity would be woven around which factors?
One of the beauties of sub-national identity is that the caste identity gets marginalised.
Our sub-national identity is multi-caste identity. India has a well-defined history of two identities.
There is the Tamil identity and the national identity of Tamils. The same way it exists in Bengal.
There is a strong regional identity of Bengalis and their national identity.
For example, Rabindranath Tagore scripted national and sub-national anthems. He wrote Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak Jaya He for the nation, but he also scripted Amar Sonar Bangla, Ami Tomae Bhalobashi, which subsequently became the national anthem of Bangladesh.
So, most elites in India had two levels of nationalism. They never thought it was in contradiction with each other. But in Bihar, we never had it that way.
What Nitish has been able to do is to craft a coalition of extremes that gives Bihar its sub-national identity. It is similar to what Gandhiji did.
What does the common man of Bihar say about Nitish Kumar? How do critics see him inside Bihar?
People think he is a thinking person. He is a visionary. Generally his image is that he will go into the nuts and bolts of any problem.
He can script a strategy for the development of Bihar.
The critics say he is a loner. He is not likely to interact.
However, I think he is travelling among the people. He doesn't move with a coterie.
Many critics say he is unpredictable.
I think he is a 16 to 18 hours chief minister. He is working all the time.
He has no other agenda but to tackle questions of governance.
He is a forward-looking person in a place like Bihar, which always has been an insular state.
There is always a qualitative difference between land-locked states and states having maritime borders.
Over and above, after the failure of the Sepoy Mutiny (in 1857) there was massive repression so this area developed resistance to modernisation, unlike many southern or western states.
This is what lies in the background of the things Nitish is handling today.

What about corruption?
I think corruption is more outside Bihar.
New Delhi is the capital of corruption in India.
There are two models of corruption. One is the Gujarat model and the other is the Bihar model.
In Bihar, corruption is at a pre-production level where input is taken out even before production starts.
In Gujarat, scams are based on output and turnover.
In the case of Gujarat, the magnitude of corruption is much higher because it depends on output.
Bihar is undergoing a transition where input-related corruption is diminishing.
Now, roads are being built, bridges are delivered.
I am not saying corruption is not there, but in the last five years, huge public investment has taken place.
Some 1,500 bridges and culverts have been built. That is unprecedented.
Earlier, planned expenditure used to be Rs 4,000 crores (Rs 40 billion); now, it's Rs 20,000 crores (Rs 200 billion).
It is a small figure compared to many states, but the extent of growth is dramatic.

Wert: The famous biblical names Joseph, Isaac, and Abraham for example, were first introduced into Britain by the returning Crusaders and Pilgrims of the 11th century a.d. onwards. We have therefore an interesting situation in that the name is Hebrew, is from the Holy Land, but was not originally as a surname, Jewish. Persons of the Jewish faith were not allowed to settle in England on a permanent basis until the 'reign' of Oliver Cromwell, and in the year 1655, after being previously totally banned by King Edward 1st in circa 1290. They therefore played no part in the initial development of surnames which as a hereditary system was fully in place by the year 1500. The name 'Joseph' is believed to translate as 'god may add to' or similar, although the precise meaning in the ancient times was probably quite different to the academic assertions of the 20th century. Either way the name was popular in England from Norman times, 'Josephus of London' being recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book, and Joseph of Lincoln in the Danelaw Rolls of the year 1147. 'Umfridus, the son of Josep' is recorded in the Curia Regis rolls of Hertfordshire in the year 1205, and William Joseph, this being one of the first surname recordings in the year 1205 in Suffolk. The rare patronymic 'Josephson' is recorded in the Subsidy Rolls of Cambridge for the year 1332 when John Josepsone is so recorded. The coat of arms granted in the former Welsh county of Breconshire has the blazon of per chevron blue and green, in chief three garbs, in base two gold chevronells. The crest is a golden garb, the motto 'cas ni charo y wlad a'i mago. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry Joseph, which was dated 1191, in the pipe rolls of the county of Hampshire, during the reign of King Richard 1st, known as 'The Lionheart', 1189 - 1199. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
Случилось однажды, что Белле
Красивое платье надели.
Случилось и так, волосок к волоску
Заплели ее рыжую косу.
Обули красивые туфельки,
Говорят: посиди-ка на пуфике!
Но платье взмахнуло кружавчиком,
Но туфельки скачут кузнечиком,
И вот уже Беллочка-девочка
По дереву лазит как белочка!
Наверное, мы пошутили,
Про Беллу стишок сочинили.
Ведь Беллочка, вам ведь понятно,
И умница, и аккуратна.
И личико девочки милое
Чистенькое и красивое.
Ведь Белла - прекрасная значит,
Ну кто ж с таким именем скачет?!
