Amnesty International members who have signed the letter include senior functionary Peter Cattan of Switzerland. A copy of the letter was released to the press here today.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday hinted at an impending hike in fuel prices saying that there is need for such an exercise to balance the effects of the spiralling oil import bill.
“With imports accounting for about 80 percent of our crude supplies, the spiralling prices of crude in the international market have put a severe strain on our import bill,” Singh said in a speech while inaugurating a refinery here.
“We also need to rationalize prices and at the same time ensure that the poor and needy are shielded from the effects of such a rationalization,” he said.
The prime minister’s comments came in the wake of demands by oil marketing companies (OMCs) which say they either be allowed to raise petrol prices or the government should compensate them for the underrecoveries. The OMCs say their inability to raise prices from Dec 16, 2011 to March 31, 2012 has resulted in total under-recovery of Rs.2,287 crore.
“The challenges we face on the energy front are formidable. We need adequate supplies of energy at affordable prices. Domestic sources of crude oil and gas are inadequate to meet the growing demands of our rapidly expanding economy,” he said.
India also needed to conserve energy and there was “no room for inefficient and wasteful usage of fuel”, said the prime minister.
The 60 Years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign will be celebrated in Britain with Rajasthani touch.
The 11-member Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band will perform in London June 2 and 3 rubbing shoulders with famous artists like Elton John in presence of heads of several states and world renowned personalities.
“The organising committee of these events examined our previous international performances over the past ten years and selected the Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band to perform at London,” the band’s group leader Amrit Hussain said.
“It is a very big event and we are unable to express our happiness in words. We expect to enthrall the audience and our aim is to give a taste of Indian music to the international audience with Indian and Rajasthani traditional music with a mix of Western instruments,” he added.
The band will use a mix of traditional Indian and Western instruments to perform popular Bollywood, jazz, pop and self-composed music, making it the first group from India to perform at such an event, Hussain claimed.
He said over the past nine years, the band has performed at about 600 concerts in 40 countries. It has participated in prestigious music festivals like Sziget (Hungary), Paleo (Switzerland), and Pori Jazz Fest (Finland).
Originating from Jaipur, the city of the maharajas, the band consists of seven to eight musicians, a female traditional Rajasthani dancer and a juggler or fire eater. They play a range of traditional brass instruments, including trumpets, trombones, tubas, clarinets, tabla, base drum and saxophones and perform traditional dances.
Amrit said that roots of the Indian brass band music go deep into the subcontinent’s colonial past.
“Introduced in the middle of the 18th century by the British, thousands of brass bands play at carnivals, national or religious festivals and local marriage celebrations across the country. In Rajasthan alone, there are over 2,000 brass bands performing regularly,” he added.
“We have tried to include in our team the best performers out of the 2,000-odd brass bands,” he added.
In a move to curb corruption in government offices, Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda has given his consent to an ordinance to set up special courts which will have the power to seize/attach properties of corrupt officials.
“Chief Minister Munda has given his approval to set up ‘Jharkhand special court ordinance 2012′. The ordinance has been sent to the governor for notification,” an official of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) told IANS Saturday.
The special courts will issue notices within 30 days of the petition against the tainted officers.
To fight corruption in government offices, Jharkhand has already formulated the Right to Services Act and the Electronic Delivery Services Act.
India’s nominee, Justice Dalveer Bhandari, a sitting judge of the Supreme Court, has been elected to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the first time an Indian has managed to get this key international post in over two decades.
Bhandari secured 122 votes in the United Nations General Assembly against 58 for his Filipino rival, Syed Akbaruddin, the spokesperson of the external affairs, said here.
In simultaneous elections Friday at the UN headquarters in New York, Bhandari also secured an absolute majority in the Security Council.
In the election to the ICJ, a primary judicial organ of the United Nations, commonly referred to as the World Court, Bhandari was locked in a fierce contest with Justice Florentino P. Feliciano of the Philippines.
Bhadari takes the place of Awn Shawkat Al-Khasawneh of Jordan who resigned from the Asia-Pacific region seat at the end of 2011.
An eminent legal luminary, Bhandari will serve the remainder of the term 2012-18. India was last represented at the ICJ more than two decades ago.
The 64-year-old Justice Bhandari has variegated experience in international law and is well-versed with the working of the UN. Bhandari has been on India’s apex court since 2005 and has served in the higher Indian judiciary for over two decades. He will retire in September this year. He served as the chairperson of the Delhi Centre of the International Law Association for several years.
Bhandari is also a member of leading international academic and legal bodies and is closely associated with a large number of committees dealing with various aspects of international law such as: human rights, biotechnology, sustainable development, securities regulation, trade, nuclear weapons, non-proliferation and contemporary international law and space.
Acknowledging his outstanding contribution, the Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago, US while celebrating its 150 Years (1859-2009) selected Bhandari as one of its 16 most illustrious and distinguished alumni.
In New Delhi, the Supreme Court Thursday had refused to quash Bhandari’s nomination as a judge for the ICJ.
Established in June 1945 by the charter of the United Nations, in The Hague, Netherlands, ICJ’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorised United Nations organs and specialised agencies.
If you aren't already familiar with their dippy designs, let me introduce you to Liberated Heart; the psychedelic pioneers who have a variety of prints exclusive to their label. I've followed them since their beginnings and it's great to see them doing so well! Everything is created in Byron Bay (Australia) which is the home to many of my all time favourite clothing lines... I'm yet to visit, but I'll definitely be going one day.
This particular skirt is from their 'Icelandic Summer' collection, which personifies pastels and gorgeous muted tones. Unfortunately, it's not available on their site anymore, but there are plenty more prints to choose from; each one bolder than the last. As it's all shipped directly from Aus, you may end up sending a bit more on shipping fees to the UK, but I'd say it's totally worth it: a.) for the quality & b.) because who else is crazy enough to spend that much on shipping?! You can rest assured that you'll be the only psychedelic princess rocking these prints at the festival.
No other shoes could have done this skirt more justice, I absolutely adore these iridescent flatforms from Missguided. I'm already quite tall, but they elongate the leg in an extremely flattering way. Most importantly, they're still super comfy! I gave up on heels a looong time ago. I know it looks like I searched the interweb far and wide to find a matching hat for this look, but I promise you it was a complete coincidence! I randomly came across it when clearing out my old room which hasn't been inhabited for about 10 years... result!

talkhealth > Blog > 2015/08 > What happened to the BFree pittas?
I discovered these amazing gluten, wheat, dairy and egg free BFree Pittas as the Allergy Show London this year.
They were offering half a pitta with various fillings and I found it was the only reliable lunch source so I went back in various disguises for a salad and humous pitta for my lunch. No one spotted my trick and I enjoyed my fill of these gorgeous new freefrom pittas.
I bought a bulk load and froze them but now I find I’ve run out and I can’t find them anywhere.
Did I dream that I had found the most perfectly delicious pitta ever?
They are gluten, wheat, diary and egg free and really, you just can’t tell they’re #freefrom.
I also know I didn’t dream these Bfree pittas because fellow freefrom tweeters @glutenfreemrsd @alimentarybites @dairyfree and @emmageah were also getting very excited about them.
So come on Bfree, I’ve emailed you, I’ve tweeted you, I’ve blogged about your pittas. What’s happening?
I need these pittas. I’m planning my holidays and I want to order some to take with me.
Please don’t disappoint me. There are few freefrom products that are so very freefrom all major allergens and these pittas are to die for.
I thought I’d do a little mini bloggette to see if this might flush out the pittas somehow.
Has anyone found these in their local supermarket? Did you try them at the allergy show? Did you love them too?

In western society, large-scale campaigns have been widely used to address social and environmental crises. In recent years, mass media and media convergence have produced within the realm of this phenomenon, a new interactive space in which publics are invited to participate and called upon as citizens. A significant corpus of academic research has studied these occasions through the themes of media rituals, celebrity diplomacy, global policy and “compassion fatigue”. This research uses the 2005 Live 8 campaign as a case study combining perspectives on media events, Jacques Ellul’s writings on propaganda and a rhetorical analysis in order to understand the techniques, which made Live 8 successful at mobilizing masses all around the world. The present study speaks to thought and action in relation to mobilization within a mediated environment for a global humanitarian crisis. Ultimately this research bridges the aspect of performance with citizenship and propaganda, into the question of whether contemporary media events, through their means of mobilization and civic participation, give way to a performance of citizenship.
This house replaced an old building that had suffered greatly over the years. It contains a number of highly efficient features in a relatively traditional package. Walls that are 12 inches thick with cellulose insulation produces a remarkably energy-efficient shell, for example.
The goal was to design a large house that still fit into the context of the “village “ community. The varied roofs provided volume, while keeping the style harmonious with the rest of the neighborhood.
We designed the kitchen to include a breakfast nook “bump out,” allowing for lots of light in both the kitchen and eating area.
Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, we expanded the space to include an informal sitting area and fireplace, as well as a connected screened-in porch. The open design creates specific areas that work together — and accentuates the kitchen as the center of social activity.
A traditional, formal living room is located at the front of the house. The bay windows here are echoed in the breakfast nook.
Located in the heart of Munjoy Hill, this house was renovated from top to bottom and esentially reframed from the inside. The interior was opened up and reconfigured.
The original staircase had a beautiful curving design that was common when the house was built. However, the original floorplan hid the stairway and buried it into a dark hallway.
The fence marks the line between the public and private parts of the yard. It is also where the house transitions from the original exterior design to a more mordern look.
The major challenge of this building was its long, narrow shape. We carefully considered the creative placement of travel paths between the front and back of the house.
This is the entrance to the master bedroom, located at the rear of the second floor.
This house was completely renovated and updated with all new systems throughout, while maintaining the original character of the house. The entry and kitchen were opened up and expanded.
The kitchen and the entry to the house were opened up and expanded.
The new kitchen is flooded with lots of natural light.
We reconfigured the kitchen to create two large openings that connect it to the living space in the middle of the house. The result is a more open feeling and more natural light.
The challenge was to take a very plain, boxy two-unit apartment building and transform it into something visually interesting, while working within very specific spatial confines. The introduction of a “tower” helped to break up the ordinary lines of the building, without breaking zoning laws. The tower also houses a beautiful spiral staircase, which dramatically changed the interior as well.
There was only one balcony in the original plan, but now each unit has its own private balcony. Subtle angles and clean lines add a modern twist to the entire building.
The rooftop deck is an addition that offers views of Munjoy HIll and Cousins Island — and another space to entertain and socialize.

Living in SW Virginia and being limited in travel, I personally never had the opprotunity to sample Meads, other than my own. I have no idea how good, or how bad, my Mead is, in comparison to other Meads.
At least in my case, the actual sampling of your Mead may be the best learning experience.
Is it possible, and is there an interest in having a Mead exchange?
Sorry, I live in CA. Is exchange by shipping an option?
You might want to try kwmeads.com and take a look at all their commercial meads.
I'm into trying it. I just bottled a dry Blueberry Melomel which is quite good for 9 months, about 6 months in the bottle will make it just right. I also have a Ginger mead which looks like it may be awsome in a few months, its crystal clear and tasted quite good at bottling. My cysers are a few months away from bottling and my pyment has about 6 months in the carboy and a few rackings. Marion PM me if you want to go for it.
