Mumbai: South Asian Federation of Exchanges (Safe) has appointed BSE managing director and chief executive Ashishkumar Chauhan as the new chairman.
SAFE is a forum of 28 member entities from the Saarc regions like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as well as Mauritius and UAE.
The forum provides the countries a platform to share, exchange and promote the technologies, experiences for the rapid growth and development of capital markets and works towards the regional as well as global integration.
“I want to assure you that I will do everything in my power (as chairman) to ensure that SAFE achieves its ambition to accelerate economic integration within the region by creating strong cross border capital market linkages and creating a conducive environment for cross border co-operation," Chauhan said at the SAFE conference on Friday.
He also noted that South Asia needs to be on a rapid growth path and therefore it was imperative to have a strong capital market system along with a banking.
Addressing the conference, regulator Sebi’s whole time member Madhabi Puri Buch noted that the role of capital markets is crucial for a country’s prosperity.
“As market participants and market infrastructure, we partner with the real economy and to me it’s like the two wheels of the chariot which are pressing around together never being able to cross the finishing line and moreover the finishing line keeps moving on from time to time," Buch said.
So all of us have the privilege and the honour to be able to impact the capital of our country," she added. Noting that stock markets in India have been through a learning curve, Buch urged SAFE members to reach out to Sebi and the exchanges on areas which they are exploring or implemented and facing some of the challenges that we faced.
“We will be delighted to be of assistance and share our experience," Buch said. “Looking to the future, we will have more opportunities and challenges. Three distinct trends that have emerged and will impact anything we will do are impact of technology, impact of expertise and impact of consultation," Buch added.
On technology, she said that technology has always “been a double edged sword". “On one hand it throws numerous challenges and unfortunately sometimes stays two steps ahead of the exchanges and the regulator. But if harnessed it also helps in making the markets efficient," Buch said.
BSE also signed a memorandum of understanding with Dhaka Stock Exchange for knowledge sharing, at the conference.

Pigs differ from other ungulates in many aspects: they give birth to many offspring at once, they are omnivorous, they build a nest, sleep for 12-14 hours straight and they prefer to rest close to other members of the pack. Pigs were originally domesticated from wild boars 9000 years ago in Turkey. Like chickens, pigs have changed in phenotype, but they still share instincts with their wild ancestors. Pigs are omnivorous: they eat vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, fruit, insects, worms, small animals and even carcasses.
Pigs rely strongly on their sense of smell and hearing. Sows recognize their piglets by smell, and boars smell the sows to check their heat. Voice and hearing are very important in the social behaviour of pigs. Pigs "chat" nearly constantly in quiet grunts to stay in contact with their pack. Warning signals and cries for help are high-pitched and loud. Boars sing a "love song" to attract sows, and the sow's voice signals tell the piglets when milk is available.

Pigs can't see very well. Thus their gestures are not subtle and small, but require a lot of space. For example, a dog recognizes a slight turn of the head as a calming signal. If a pig needs to calm a stronger animal, it turns away completely and then runs away for a short distance. In piggeries this is often impossible, so fights and injuries are common. Naturally pigs live in peaceful groups with stable social structure. In piggeries groups are often mixed, so the structure changes a lot and the animals have to create the "pecking order" over and over again.
Unlike many other animals, pigs are contact animals. A sow does not lick its piglets, nor do pigs lick one another. Instead, they eat in groups and sleep side by side, close together. Even mating behaviour is rather straightforward: instead of courting, the boar can just mount the sow. Sows have a standing reflex, which means that in heat it will stand still when pressure is applied to it's loins. In addition to sleeping, eating is also synchronized. Pigs wake up at sunrise, and spend most of their time nosing the ground for food. They eat for 8 hours, and sleep 12-14 hours a day.
Cleanliness: Contrary to popular belief, pigs are very tidy animals. They always separate a sleeping area from eating area and "bathroom" area. In piggeries this is not possible, and pigs are forced to sleep in their feces and eat in a dirty environment.
Skin care: Pigs have two ways for skin care: wallowing in mud and scratching themselves against walls. Wallowing in mud is not just fun, it also cools the animal on a hot day, rubs away dead skin and removes parasites.
Thermoregulation: Piglets under 3 weeks of age cannot thermoregulate, and in piggeries they depend on heat lamps. In the wild piglets live in a nest built by the sow, so they stay warm. Adult pigs have almost no fur and no sweat glands, so they can thermoregulate only by changing their behaviour.
One or two days before giving birth, sows start to look for a place for a nest. They may wander several kilometers searching for a good spot. 6-12 hours before parturition the sow begins the actual nest building. It digs a shallow hole, and then collects branches, hay, turf and other materials, which it uses to build a nest. 1-2 hours before parturition the sow lays down on her nest. When the piglets are born, the sow lays passively. Domesticated pigs give birth to 10-15 piglets, which are born about 15 minutes from one another. After birth piglets instinctively crawl to the udder and start suckling. If a piglet doesn't get colostrum within few hours of birth, it will die. Colostrum is vital, for the piglets have no antibodies. If the sow is vaccinated before parturition, the piglets will get immunity as well.
For the first three days the piglets fight for teats, but they then develop a clear "teat order": each piglet has its own teat. This is important, because after 12 hours the sow gives milk only once every 45 minutes. It announces milk letting by grunting, and every piglet has about 10 minutes to find a teat and suckle.
The sow stays in her nest for the first 1-2 days, after which she leaves the nest for a short time as she goes eating. On 4th - 5th day the piglets leave their nest to follow the sow, and learn to find solid food. After 10-14 days the sow and her litter leave the nest and return to the herd. If the piglets do not follow the sow at this time, she may abandon the whole litter. The sow starts weaning her litter from the first week by slowly introducing the piglets to solid food and by regulating her milk letting. Final weaning will happen when the piglets are 10-25 weeks old, depending on the availability of food.
In piggeries sows are not allowed to build nests, and they are often confined to tiny parturition crates for weeks. The crates don't allow the sow to turn around, sometimes not even to stand up. Crates are used so the sow wouldn't lie down on the piglets. Naturally the sow has an anti-crushing behaviour, but in piggeries the sow often cannot hear if a piglet screams when sat on. Studies show that parturition is faster, more piglets are born alive and the sow lets more milk when giving birth freely, compared to birthing crate. Building a having a sest also calms the sow, calms the parturition and improves the relationship beween the sow and the piglets.
Pigs would eat for 8 hours every day. In a piggery this isn't possible, so the animals need plenty of modifiable litter and other objects which they can nose, chew, eat or otherwise modify. Straw, tree branches or hemp / sisal ropes are very good for this purpose. Problems with any of the factors of pig welfare may lead to the most serious behavioral prolem in any piggery: tail biting. Tail biting has been discussed in the entry about pig diseases.
In piggeries, pigs are moved from one department or piggery to one another several times. Each department should take into consideration the needs pigs have at that particular age.
Parturition dept: Since piglets are very sensitive, clean, dry and warm environment is vital for them. During the first few days piglets are castrated, ear-marked, given a tattoo and an iron injection, and their canines are filed. All these cause pain and risk for infections. Parturition dept must have clean space available for these operations. Flooring material is important, so the feces and urine can be cleaned, but the floor isn't too hard or cold for the piglets.
Weaning dept: High-quality and clean water and feed are important to young pigs, who still have no stomach acids to kill any bacteria they ingest. Stable groups and temperature are needed, and stimuli help the pigs to relieve stress and pass the time.
Meat pig farm: For adult pigs, stable groups and enough space are important. They must be able to sleep together and eat together, have separate areas for eating, sleeping and defecating/urinating, and they need space for social behaviour. Stimuli are also important. Temperature can vary more than in previous departments.
Department for pregnant sows: Like the meat pig farm, but pregnant sows need even more space than meat pigs.

123Net’s fiber footprint through Michigan includes up to 4,000 route miles of fiber across 106 communities.
"We're looking forward to growing this partnership with Telia Carrier. It's exciting to be trusted by yet another international company and to be able to support their expansion with our infrastructure,” says 123Net carrier relations manager Bob Evenson.
“We continue to see a high demand from regional, national, and international carriers to establish a point of presence at our Tier 3 facility. Being the largest carrier-neutral facility in the state makes it easy for not only carriers, like Telia Carrier, but also content providers who want to connect here and peer closer to end users. We hope to continue to provide solid options to carriers interested in the Michigan market."
It’s certainly an apt time for the partnership, as Michigan has the most permissive self-driving car laws across the country, and self-driving cars that generate and use tremendous amounts of data are now entering the market.
According to a study from Intel, autonomous vehicles generate and consume roughly 40 terabytes of data for every eight hours of driving. This requires robust connections to keep the automotive industry moving forward, and 123Net says there has been massive demand for bandwidth and data centres in Detroit to support this next generation of automobiles.
The company asserts it is also seeking to satiate demand for data connections from content providers and businesses in health care, engineering, graphic design, technology and finance, as this trend combined with the ongoing digital transformation and cloud adoption is producing an appetite for data centre connectivity among Tier 2 and 3 cities throughout the state.
"Over the past several years, the auto industry as well as other businesses in Detroit have been focused on driving more innovation," says Telia Carrier Network & Business Development director Art Kazmierczak.
"These applications utilize the dynamic on-demand provisioning, and low latency performance of Telia Carrier's global network, enabling access to cloud capabilities at the network edge and empowering developing technologies like autonomous vehicles and smart cities in the supporting infrastructure. We see facilitating these technologies as critical and that's why we're excited to partner with 123Net."
I enjoy the Altima to an extent. It gets great gas mileage. I put in about forty dollars every week, and it lasts my whole week -- no problem. It has a lot of power in it that was initially unexpected. It seats five people comfortably and has a surprising amount of leg room. The truck is spacious, enough to fill for camping, skating, or whatever activity my family would want to do. The car is very light, so when I take it in canyons, it is easy to feel the wind rocking the car and feels unsettling.
There was a time I went off roading in it, and it can get some air and can take some serious impact.
I save so much money in gas over previous vehicles. It has a small gauge that estimate how many miles until empty, so there is minimal guesswork. Powerful A/C makes the California summers feel like nothing until we get out.
The car is very light, so sometimes it can feel unsafe. Having the A/C seems to directly affect the cars performance and feels sluggish going uphill with it on. There seems to be quite of bit of transmission problems with Altimas, and I experienced my first one earlier this year, and it was quite a pain to work on.
I like the mpg on my vehicle. The Mpg was probably the biggest selling point to me. I was looking for a nice car that wouldn't cost me a fortune at the pump. Overall my car runs very smooth and in all the years of owning it has never given me any problems.
Going on a road trip to the grand canyon last fourth of July was really fun. it was such a smooth trip in the car.
I live that the car has a lot of airbags giving it a high safety rating. I also liked the color options I had when shopping for my car. Another thing I liked was the variety of models I found so I was able to choose one with a sunroof and rear camera. Another thing I really liked is that the car has extremely comfortable seats.
I haven't had many difficulties with this car. I have noticed that some things scratch pretty easily. I have a scratch on my radio screen and have no idea how it happened. I also noticed a seam coming undone on the drivers seat.
The salespeople work very hard to get you the car you want at the price you can handle.
They helped me understand the differences of the cars and then find one that was right for me.
Graham Joyce, The Silent Land, Gollancz, 2011.
If you're looking for a beautiful and poetic novel about the human condition, that creates literary magic out of the mundane, and that also happens to be fantasy, I have just the thing for you.
Zoe and her husband Jake are on holiday in a ski resort in the Pyrénées. They go skiing early one morning but they are caught in a snow avalanche. Miraculously, they manage to get out of the packed snow that has buried them. But when they come back to the village, the place is deserted, as if everyone has just left in a hurry.
This short teaser can't be any longer or it would be too spoilery. But it's not the mystery of the novel that makes its interest. The perspicacious reader understands quite quickly what is happening. It's the struggle of the characters, Zoe and Jake, their hopes, their sacrifices, that make of The Silent Land a very striking novel.
Graham Joyce was an amazing story teller and you can find evidence of it in each and every page: the descriptions, the actions, the characters' thoughts. As often in his novels, the depictions allie the mundane to the poetic, steeped in strangeness and fantasy. Joyce referred to his writing as "Old Peculiar" and many symbolic elements are evocative of folklore or of a larger truth, always elusive.
The relationship between Zoe and Jake is beautifully told, from the most banal moments to the most heartbreaking. They all strike true: not only you are quickly invested in the characters but they also become embodiments of the human condition.
The Silent Land is about life and death. It's a very moving novel, remarkable by how perfectly and poetically feelings are told. Graham Joyce passed in 2014 but he left us some unforgettable stories.

You hit the nail on the head when it comes to family. I think that they have the worse crab in a bucket mentality.
Thanks for commenting. So my thoughts on this really come from my own family. I have some real crabs in my fam. They feel they should be on top. Even if they have done no work to get there.
Man you took the words right out of my mouth. It makes it worse when they criticize but have never did anything to support or build on the foundation that you have laid.
Cheesy Egg Bake: The French Girl's Breakfast Casserole / Hey, EEP!
Sometimes it's best to reserve the perfectly poached egg and bellini for a brunch out with the girls. Weekend breakfasts at home can be rustic and lazy, far from the eyes of the bruchers of the Upper East Side. Thanks to the French Culinary Institute, three tremendous broiche were sitting on my counter waiting to be eaten early Saturday morning. I was all too happy to oblige one of them. This twist on an American breakfast casserole is a Frenchy at heart with golden pillows of brioche, stinky cheese (go with the gruyere!) and fresh thyme. Prepare it a night in advance so your breakfast guest will think your brunch skills are as effortless as a French girl's style :) Bon appetite!
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the skillet with the bacon fat.
2. Add the sausage to the reserved skillet and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until cooked through; drain on paper towels.
3. Whisk the eggs, milk, ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Stir in the brioche cubes, thyme, grated cheddar and the cooked bacon and sausage.
4. Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered baking dish and bake until the custard has set, 30 to 40 minutes.
Duo was designed with small spaces in mind. A modern console stands in your entryway and then becomes a full size dining table when additional table space is needed. No more excuses, it is time for a dinner party! Can seat 10 guests when fully opened. Made in Italy.

A video put out by Hawley's campaign highlights Sen. Claire McCaskill's endorsement of Clinton, the Democrats' 2016 candidate for president.
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is touting Rush Limbaugh's praise of a new campaign video linking Sen. Claire McCaskill to Hillary Clinton.
The shout-out from the prominent conservative talk radio host follows Monday's release of a new political attack advertisement from Hawley, a Republican seen as the GOP's front-running challenger to McCaskill, a Democrat seeking a third term.
The ad highlights McCaskill's endorsement of Clinton, the Democrats' 2016 candidate for president, and criticizes the former U.S. Secretary of State and first lady's recent comments in India. Clinton is abroad to promote her new book, "What Happened," which offers her take on how she lost the election to President Donald Trump.
"If you look at the map of the United States," Clinton recently told an Indian audience, "there's all that red in the middle where Trump won. I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward, and his whole campaign — 'Make America Great Again' — was looking backwards. You know: you didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women, you know, getting jobs, you don't want to, you know, see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are."
Limbaugh, a native of Cape Girardeau, suggested a translation: "You people in the red are pessimistic, monolithic, dullards, dryballs, and you want to walk backwards."
Limbaugh went on to congratulate Hawley for putting McCaskill on the defensive for her support of Clinton, and Hawley took notice and took to Twitter to thank Limbaugh for the shout-out.
"Hillary & (McCaskill) say the heartland is backwards," Hawley's campaign account tweeted. "I say we are the future!"
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, McCaskill said she respected that "there are a lot of people in Missouri that support (Trump's) policies, and I'm respectful of that."
"I think I’ve been very clear that I don’t think that describes the Missourians who supported Donald Trump," McCaskill continued, speaking about Clinton's comments. "I disagree with her on that statement."
