It is a sad reality, but many Americans lose their houses to foreclosure yearly. But this is not a one-day course of, with the sheriff kicking out the householders a number of hours after the public sale. 90 days following NOD – The lender might file with the county recorder's office a Discover of Sale (NOS), which will point out the date, time, and place the foreclosure sale will happen.
Actually, the way we set it up the client will get to stay in the house a minimum of another 6 months after the Foreclosure Decree is entered without making payments. So to start with, his rating is decreased by the late payments. Throughout this time the house owner can stop the foreclosure course of by paying off the quantity owed.
Beneath and by virtue of an order of the Cabarrus County, NC, Superior Courtroom, the undersigned Tax Collector, by means of her authorized representative will provide for sale and promote for money, to the last and highest bidder at public auction, at the date, time, and placement indicated under, the actual property as described herein.
This means they can file a courtroom proceeding against you so as to freeze property, require fee, order sale of different assets, or every other authorized manner of obtaining the rest of your debt. The homeowners will have to put something in writing to the financial institution to show what they're engaged on, but postponing a sheriff sale might be quite easy.
Bank foreclosures are attractive to buyers because they offer the potential for enormous profits. Under strict foreclosure, which is out there in a few states together with Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, if the mortgagee wins the court docket case, the court docket orders the defaulted mortgagor to pay the mortgage within a specified time frame.
Mortgage brokers used each of these strategies to get loans secured, and many of the debtors soon came upon they couldn't afford their monthly funds.
In case you are in peril of shedding your home and you would like to know your foreclosure rights, a little research will help you find out what is accessible to you. In such a transaction, the lender might roll over the delinquent funds to the top of your mortgage loan. Properties that don't promote at a tax sale develop into part of the resale inventory offered by the Travis County Tax Office and are on the market at any time.
In the event you aren't paying your payments you may be introduced under a foreclosure and lose the property that you thought was yours. The place it is out there, foreclosure by power of sale is usually a extra expedient approach of foreclosing on a property than foreclosure by judicial sale.
Is There A Hyperlink Between Foreclosure And Well being?
New home consumers needs to be extraordinarily cautious regarding hidden property defects of a foreclosure actual estate purchase. This means that if the borrower comes up with the cash to pay off the total mortgage stability plus costs incurred within the foreclosure course of then the borrower can take the property back, even when someone else bought the property on the auction.
Because of this, all properties bought at a foreclosure auction are bought as is" and are bought purchaser beware." Bidders are chargeable for conducting their own research in regards to the property that's being offered and about any defects in title that may exist.
A growing problem seems to be that many tenants discover that the house or condominium building they're renting is going into foreclosure, as a result of incapacity of the proprietor to proceed paying the mortgage. Different attainable prospects include wholesale property traders (groups of traders that purchase foreclosed houses at the auctions after which promote them to smaller buyers at a wholesale value), buyers, landlords, property administration corporations, Realtors and so forth.

Ten cases of dental transplants belonging to the authors' set of cases were selected and they proved to be successful according to the factors these authors' believe to be important. The operations were carried out on young patients by transplanting the not fully formed third molar to the place of the first molar, following the technique described in the text. The success of a vital dental autotransplant depends on some factors: the tooth to be transplanted should have completed the amelogenesis so that two thirds of its root and the floor of the pulp chamber are also formed; the receiving alveolus must be prepared before the giving area, thus reducing the time in which the third molar remains dislocated out of its alveolus and the lack of communication between the two surgical beds.

In all cases the department provides a complex solution of the given issue from the conceptual design, through the production documentation to the actual functional tests of the equipment, and the subsequent service at the customer.


The novel The Dante Club is a story about what could be called America's first book club. Longfellow, Holmes, Lowell and their friends came together once a week to read and discuss Dante and Dante's relevance to their lives; in the process, their friendships evolved and strengthened in inspiring ways. In the fictional narrative of the novel, the outgrowth of their book club is the ability to uncover and stop a savage "misreading" of literature that threatens to destroy their city.
The Dante Club draws much of its energy from Dante's masterpiece, Inferno, and its first American translation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Though readers can fully enjoy the novel without any knowledge of Dante, with the new Modern Library edition of Longfellow's Inferno book clubs and reading groups have a perfect opportunity to discuss both The Dante Club and Inferno.
Discuss how the various characters benefit intellectually and professionally from their association with the "Dante Club" reading and translation group. How is the group similar to book clubs now popular throughout the United States? How does it differ?
... (Follow-up) What's the secret of the power of collective reading? Compare the dynamic of the Dante Club to your own book club or reading group.
The death of Fanny Longfellow leads Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to take "refuge" in his translation of Dante. Discuss why Dante in particular seems to help him through his dark period. How is his sanctuary affected by the outbreak of violence from that same work of literature?
Follow-up) Are there ways in which literature has provided a refuge in your own lives at difficult or confusing times?
In Dante's Divine Comedy, Dante's poetic idol Virgil leads him through the dangerous passages of the afterlife. In what ways do the characters of The Dante Club guide one other? Who would you say is the real leader?
How does the backdrop of the American Civil War influence the events of the novel?
Did you guess who the murderer was before it was revealed?
... (Follow-up) Come on, did you really?
... (Follow-up 2) What are the ways in which the author "misdirected" the reader from the murderer? Or, if you had correct suspicions, what tipped you off? In what ways were the murderer's motives surprising? What do they reveal about the exploration of different types of "reading" that runs throughout the novel?
Discuss some of the instances in modern culture in which an artistic work – music, film or literature – seemed to have some impact on inspiring a crime. Some examples: Mark David Chapman carrying "The Catcher in the Rye" when he shot John Lennon; the Columbine killers supposedly drawing inspiration from Marilyn Manson songs and the video game "Doom"; several instances of people imitating "Natural Born Killers" in robberies and shootings. In that last instance, John Grisham led a campaign to prove Oliver Stone held responsibility after a friend of Grisham's was killed. Is the work of art ever to blame? Do the murders in The Dante Club stem from the brutality of Inferno?
... (Follow-up) Should the Dante Club members have revealed the source of violence to the public? What was at stake besides their reputations?
Discuss Patrolman Nicholas Rey's role in the challenges facing the Dante Club, with consideration for Rey's status as a type of "exile" in Boston, and how this fits into the larger story.
Discuss the character of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Why does he emerge as the character in the novel with the heaviest burden? What elements of his personal background make the events of the story so disruptive and frightening to Holmes?
... (Follow-up) Discuss Dr. Holmes's relationship with his son, Wendell Junior. How does it compare or differ from James Russell Lowell's relationship with his daughter, Mabel Lowell?
Take a look at the pictures of the characters in the "gallery" of The Dante Club website (www.thedanteclub.com). Do their appearances differ from how you imagined them?

Sometimes the best thing you can have in business is a big, fat KISS, as in, keep it simple, stupid. A popular phrase coined from a 1960 U.S. Navy project, the acronym has multiple iterations, but its meaning — don't overcomplicate that which does not need complexity — could be a motto by which learning leaders operate.
Karen Kocher, chief learning officer for global health services company Cigna Corp., has made it her mission to tone down learning jargon when making her case to executive stakeholders. Her method of keeping things simple has helped others not only appreciate learning, but also ensured that it has an effect on business.
That said, keeping things simple doesn't mean there isn't a lot going on behind the proverbial wizard's curtain. Cigna's overall learning mission has two prongs: a focus on capability building and that employees should learn with and from each other.
To help fulfill that mission, a few years back the company built a capability maturity model. The model states that for Cigna to be successful with its future-facing business strategy, there are 10 critical capabilities — including customer focus, change leadership, innovation, coaching and data-based decision-making — that need to be demonstrated by many if not all employees.
With capabilities as the engine driving learning and business strategy rather than annual programs, the development conversation changes. This is important because Kocher said the likelihood of Cigna, or any company, serving up exactly what employees want and need at the exact time they want and need it isn't likely.
About a year and a half ago the company launched a social platform called Cigna Life that employees can use to find and better leverage the expertise within the company. Kocher said at last count a little more than half of Cigna's 35,000 global employees were actively using it.
Kocher has been Cigna's CLO for six years, but her career has touched multiple business areas. This breadth of experience may account for her belief in the power of simplicity to generate big impact.
Fresh from Michigan State University, she joined health care company Aetna as a medical cost containment specialist. She later became part of the IT organization, then moved into national accounts risk management and sales before she left the company as a manager in HR and part of the learning and development function. Post-Aetna, Kocher joined document management company IKON, followed by IBM, before landing at Cigna.
When Kocher joined Cigna roughly a decade ago from IBM, the company had a vision for a centralized learning function and university. When it was ready to execute on that vision two years later, she was asked to be CLO. But making things bigger and more complex doesn't always lead to more support. Kocher said there's nothing wrong with talking about learning to others in a basic, even elemental way because "behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz when we're doing it, it takes a lot of expertise and a lot of science.
Kocher said Cigna University has played a significant part in generating a focus on continuous improvement and development, which has, in part, driven growth. From 2009 to 2013, Cigna's compound annual growth rate increased significantly along with its revenue and earnings.
In 2013 the university offered an awareness, knowledge and skill-building program for everyone in the company to develop its customer focus capability. Kocher said the four-part learning series began with a game that elicited "absolutely terrific" feedback. Launched in two parts — one for managers and the other for front-line employees — at press time about 30,000 people had participated in the game, with a goal to ensure everyone went through it before the end of 2013.
The second part of the program was a webinar series to help managers understand their role in achieving a more customer-centric environment. Third, a face-to-face workshop focused on the four facets managers need to succeed in a customer-centric environment, such as be an empowerment coach and be a recognition champion. Module four taught managers how to have and use a teachable point of view through storytelling. Face-to-face participants broke into teams to create a storyboard about a future iteration of Cigna as a customer-centered company.
Cigna uses three primary forms of measurement to gauge learning's business impact: analytical and statistical measures via KnowledgeAdvisors' Metrics That Matter — which measures program quality as assessed by participants and value when applied on the job; anecdotal feedback on a business and functional level; and the same measure the company uses for performance with customers, Net Promoter Score, based on a single question: Would you recommend this program or activity to a friend or family member?
If score cards from each of the business and functional groups show they're underperforming, Kocher said the next move is root-cause analysis and action planning. For example, employees want and need a certain level of manager support to understand why they're being educated and the value of that new knowledge and skill to their day-to-day job performance.
Last year Cigna had very low manager support scores in some areas, including finance. The client business manager for the university who is aligned with finance took that information, went to the HR generalist and others in finance and kicked off a root-cause analysis to find out why. An action plan to improve scores followed. Kocher said this happens quarterly as client business managers revisit the business or the functional group to gauge the amount of improvement they see and whether more work is needed.
Cigna's push related to customer focus and capability development began three years ago in response to the rapidly increasing speed of business. Kocher said to remain in front of development needs so that employees are ready for work challenges and opportunities, it isn't enough to have a base understanding of customer focus. Talent must be ahead of the curve when compared to the competition.
"The biggest challenge that I'm faced with, and that learning and development in general is faced with, is being able to get people situated with the right knowledge and skill in advance of the business need. Some of what really highlights that we haven't done as good a job as we need and want to is that high percentages of people, in senior-type positions especially, are still brought in from outside of most companies," she said.
To deliver, Kocher said the learning and development function needs to be flexible in how it engages stakeholders, interprets industry signals and trends and develops program offerings.
Cigna used to have a stable of programs it evaluated annually, but it has since moved away from program-based, portfolio type management and planning to capability maturity planning. By analyzing the business and talking to senior business leaders to determine what is needed for success three to five years out, Cigna can identify what capabilities and associated development are required on an enterprise level.
"Karen strives to be externally focused … and then bring best-in-class solutions to our businesses that are aligned with our growth strategy," said Charlene Parsons, vice president of talent optimization at Cigna. "For me that translates into a lot of fun, fun and energy. Her contribution is being aligned with the business, understanding it and then developing learning programs that make a real difference.
Parsons said this meant introducing a new vocabulary and mindset and cascading it throughout the company to center the organization around the change.
Michael Hebda, marketing manager for MEGA North America, a business software company, said a common language can mean the difference between companies that are successful at transformative change and those that aren't. It can be difficult for leaders to support something they don't truly understand.
Kocher's efforts seem to be paying off. Parsons said Cigna is a much larger organization than it was nine years ago with a total stakeholder return above the 75th percentile in its industry. "We routinely say Karen can make a dollar feel like a million. Financial performance speaks. You only have that kind of financial performance with the right talent strategy.


Reports surfaced in late summer 2018 that the chief medical officer of the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center had failed to disclose serious conflicts of interest with drug companies. Among them was news of his giving "overly favorable reviews" of drugs of Swiss firm Roche after he had received some $3 million in direct payments from the company for several years. When confronted with this information, Dr. Jose Baselga characterized his "disclosure lapses" as "unintentional." He "stepped down" or was fired or shown the door in some manner, depending on who you ask.
Adopt a policy that doctors may not accept anything at all from drug or device firms.
Create an ethics committee to address questions and concerns.
Ensure that all research funding coming from any source be made to the institution and not to individual researchers.
Make all individuals disclose any past payments before the new policy is put into effect.
This is an intriguing take on the issue of conflicts of interest in the healthcare sector: The problem is clear and the fix is straightforward.
In most other corners of the nonprofit world, the conflicts issue is not so straightforward. There seem to be an endless number of possible behaviors that should not occur, depending on the particular facts and circumstances in each case. An important first step is adopting a written policy on the subject, but developing a comprehensive document that anticipates all possible problems can be challenging.

Government whistle blowing pays off
By: Claude Solnik July 7, 2009 Comments Off on Government whistle blowing pays off
Want to make millions? You may want to buy a whistle.
As billions in government money flow to hospitals, defense contractors and others, the federal and New York state government are increasing incentives and protections for whistleblowers to come forward regarding fraud and overcharging the government.
New York and more than 20 other states over the past few years enacted laws patterned after a federal whistleblower law known as the False Claims Act that provides compensation to whistleblowers who uncover fraudulent government billing.
And President Barack Obama beefed up federal whistle blower laws in May, signing the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009, expanding protections for whistleblowers in federal contracting and providing money to investigate fraud.
"Billions and billions of dollars in new government spending has been authorized," said Stephen M. Kohn, executive director of Washington-based National Whistleblowers Center. "The taxpayers need the strongest possible anti-fraud laws in order to prevent financial recovery monies from being looted."
The federal government's False Claims Act has led to billions recovered for government, paying whistleblowers based on money recouped. For the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2009, the federal government recovered $1.34 billion in fraud and false claims, including $1.12 billion from the health care industry.
What's known as "qui tam" suits, brought by the government based on citizen tips, recovered more than $14 billion since 1986, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Whistleblowers got to keep more than $2.2 billion.
"You have to compensate people for taking on that burden," said Michael Sullivan, partner at Atlanta-based Finch McCranie, specializing in whistleblower suits. "Being ostracized. Attacked. Sometimes they get sued by companies doing the wrong."
The federal government pays 15 percent to 20 percent of money recovers if it files the suit and 25 percent to 30 percent if individuals bring actions.
"The average is about 17 percent," Schilling said. "If it's a $1 million recovery, they get on average $170,000."
The federal government in 1987 recovered $86 million through false claims a year after approving these incentives. That rose to $200 million by 1989, $300 million by 1991 and topped $1 billion in 1994. By 2006, that rose to $3.1 billion.
But if this sounds like easy money for whistleblowers, attorneys said it's far from it.
"It's not like people can just say, 'I'm going to make a lot of money,'" said Joni Kletter, an associate specializing in labor and employment law at Mineola-based Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein. "There's a lot involved."
Lois Carter Schlissel, managing attorney of Meyer, Suozzi, said whistleblowers need to bring strong cases rather than suspicions. "Because it is so time-consuming and demanding, many people shy away from it," she said.
Although it's possible to proceed on your own if the government declines, she said that's almost unheard of.
"It's extraordinarily rare for somebody to go forward without the government and get a recovery," she said.
In one case, Schlissel said the federal government investigated claims for eight years before filing a suit, which federal district court dismissed for exceeding the statute of limitations. "That gives you a sense of the time frame we're talking about," she added.
It can take nearly a decade to settle a case, leaving a long gap between accusation and compensation.
Even if the government takes a case, that doesn't mean it and the whistleblower will win.
"It can't be very general and vague," Kletter said. "There are specific requirements [to show] that the government is giving you money for service not performed."
Sullivan mentioned a surgeon who blew the whistle on improper Medicaid billing, only to get a surprise. The government uncovered the problem before the whistleblower came to them, so it had never paid the improper bills.
Although the state's whistleblower law won't protect corporate whistleblowers, they have other protections.
Richard Howard, a partner at Meltzer, Lippe, Goldstein & Breitstone in Mineola, said these whistleblowers might be protected from being fired by anti-retaliation provisions in other laws.
The Internal Revenue Service also is trying to encourage whistleblowers. Congress in December, 2006 passed The Internal Revenue Service Whistleblower Rewards Program, offering whistleblowers 15 percent to 30 percent of recoveries $2 million or larger – along with anonymity.
"You can't do it anonymously with the false claims act," Sullivan said of cases brought by the government. "Your identity will become known. That's the way the law's written."

Q: any way to have a light sidebar while keeping the editor dark? Something like this:

I've always liked the way Sublime Text looked and I wasn't able to reproduce this sorta theme in VS Code. Editing the workbench settings does not really achieve the same result. I end up having a light text on a slightly darker sidebar: which is pretty hard to read.

A: These will get you closer:
"sideBar.foreground": "#000",
"sideBar.background": "#ccc",

// "gitDecoration.modifiedResourceForeground": "#000",

You may need to modify all the gitDecoration colors to work on a light background.
I haven't figured out a way to darken the arrows for the folders yet though.  You would think they would be set by the sidebar.foreground property but apparently not.
And I just noticed that the sidebar properties also control the command palette colors!

civilising the native and educating the nation for class viii of ncert/cbse
S.S.T- History Civilising the "Native", Educating the Nation
Author: dev542

See, here is something for the students of CBSE/NCERT of class VIII. Hope you will like the History of "Civilising the Native and Educating the Nation".
1. Civilising the Native, Educating the Nation
2. Linguist- Someone who and studies several languages. Madrasa- An Arabic word for a place of learning; any type of school or collage. Orientalists- Those with a scholarly knowledge of the language and culture of Asia. Munshi - A person who can read, write and teach Persian. Vernacular- A term generally used to refer to a local language or dialect as distinct from what is seen as the standard language. In colonial countries like India, The British used the term to mark the difference between the local languages of everyday use and English- The language of the imperial masters. What does it mean?
3. William Jones was born on 28 Sept. 1746, arrived in Calcutta in 1783 and appointed as junior judge at Supreme Court. Jones was a linguist as he knew Greek, Latin, French, English, Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit learned from pandits. He also studied ancient Indian texts of law, philosophy, religion, politics, morality, arithmetic, medicine ant other sciences. His interest was shared by many Englishmen like Henry Thomas Celebrooke. They both thought that Indian Civilisation got its glory in ancient period. So, they should teach Indians their ancient texts from that the Indians would understand their past glories and it would also help the Britishers to win the hearts of Indians and the Indians would accept the Britishers as their Masters and would treat them well by becoming their Slaves. William Jones Tomb Of William Jones
4. He was born on 15 June 1765 in London. He was the third son of Sir George Colebrooke. He was an Orientalists. He was appointed to a writership in 1782 in India. He was sent to Nagpur in 1799 on a special mission, and on his return, he was made a judge of the new court of appeal, over which he afterwards presided. In 1805, Lord Wellesley appointed him professor of Hindu law and Sanskrit at the college of Fort William. He became a member of council in 1807. He and William Jones together set up the Asiatic Researches Society of Bengal, and started a journal called Asiatick Researches. Influenced by ideas of Henry Thomas and William Jones, many company officials argued that the British ought to promote Indian rather than Western Learning. With this object in view a madrasa was set up in Calcutta in 1781 to promote the study of Arabic, Persian and Islamic law; and the Hindu Collage was established in Benaras in 1791. He returned to England in 1814 and died on 10 March 1837. Henry Thomas Colebrooke
5. From the early nineteenth century many British officials began to criticise the vision of Orientalists of learning. They said knowledge of the East was full of errors and un scientific thought; Eastern literature was non-serious and light-hearted. So they argued that it was wrong on the part of the British to spend so much effort in encouraging the study of Arabic and Sanskrit language and literature. James Mill was one of those who attacked the Orientalists. The British effort, he declared, should not be to teach what the native wanted, or what they respected in order to please them win a place in their heart. The aim of education ought to be to teach what was useful and practical. So Indians should be made familiar with the scientific and technical advances that the West had made, rather than with the poetry and scared literature of the Orient. Grave errors of the East
6. James Mill He was born on 6 April 1773 in Angus, Scotland. He was a Scottish historian, economist, political theorist and philosopher. He was the founder of classical economics. He was also the author of The History of British India which contains 3 volumes- Hindu, Muslim and British. He was one of those who attacked Orientalists. According to his point of view, there was nothing in Eastern Education and in old texts of Sanskrit and Arabic language and literature. He thought that the Indians ought to be teach useful and practical. And the Western Education would help the Indians in their day-to- day life and they should teach Indians about science and technology which the West had made. He died on 23 June, 1836 at the age of 63, in London.
7. Thomas Babington Macaulay He was born 25 October, 1800 in Leicestershire, London. By the 1830s the attack on the Orientalists became sharper. He was one of the most outspoken an influential of such critics of the time. He saw India as an uncivilised country that needed to be civilised but a major role in introducing English and Western concepts to education in India. According to him no branch of Eastern Knowledge can be compared to English Education. He also said a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia. He argued that British government in India should stop spending money on Eastern education. He emphasisied the need to teach English. He felt that knowledge of English would allow Indians to read some of the finest literature of world, From this they would learn science and philosophy. Teaching of English could be a way of civilising people, changing their tastes, values and culture.
8. The English Education Act was a legislative Act of the Council of India in 1835 giving effect to a decision in 1835 by William Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland, the then Governor-General of British India to reallocate funds the East India Company was required by the British Parliament to spend on education and literature in India. Following Macaulays minute, the English Education Act of 1835 was introduced. The decision was to make English the medium of instruction for higher education and to stop the promotion of Oriental institutions like the Calcutta Madrasa and Benaras Sanskrit Collage. English Education Act 1835
9. He was born on 20 December 1800 at West Yorkshire, England. He was a Liberal and Member of Parliament from 1826 to 1866, Wood served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord John Russell's government (18461852), where he opposed any further help for Ireland during the Great Famine there. Wood later served as President of the Board of Control under Lord Aberdeen (18521855), as First Lord of the Admiralty in Lord Palmerston's first administration (1855 1858), and as Secretary of State for India in Palmerston's second government (18591866). He died on 8 August 1885 At the age of 84 at Hickleton Hall, Doncaster, England. Charles Wood
10. In 1854, the Court of Directors of the East India Company in London sent an educational despatch to the Governor-General In India. Issued by Charles Wood, the President of the Board of Control of the Company, it has come to be know as Woods Despatch. Outlining the educational policy that was to be followed in India, it emphasised once again the practical benefits of a system of European learning, as opposed to Oriental knowledge. One of the practical uses the Despatch pointed to was economic. European learning, it said would enable Indians to recognise the advantages that flow from the expansion of trade and commerce, and make them see the importance of developing the resources of the country. continued Education for Commerce- Woods Despatch
11. ......... Introducing them to European ways of life, would change their tastes and desire, and create a demand for British goods, for Indians would begin to appreciate and buy things that were produced in Europe. Woods Despatch also argued that European learning would improve the moral character of Indians. It would make them truthful and honest, and thus supply the Company with civil servants who could be trusted and depended upon. The literature of the East was not only full of grave errors, it could also not instill in people a develop the skills required for administration. Following the 1854 Despatch, several measures were introduced By the British. continued Education for Commerce- Woods Despatch
12. ......... Education departments of the government were set up to extend control over all matters regarding education. Steps were taken to establish a system of university education. In 1857, while the sepoys rose in revolt in Meerut and Delhi, universities were being established in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. Attempts were also made to bring about changes within the system of school education. Education for Commerce- Woods Despatch
13. The argument for practical education was strongly critisied by the Christian missionaries in India in the nineteenth century. The missionaries felt that education should attempt to improved only through Christian education. Until 1813, the East India Company was opposed to missionary activities in India. It feared that missionary activities would provoke reaction amongst the local population and make them suspicious of British- Controlled territories, the missionaries set up a mission at Serampore in an area under the control of the Danish East India Company. A printed press was set up in 1800 and a collage established in 1818. Over the nineteenth century, missionary schools were set up all over India. continued......... The demand for moral education
14. ......... After 857, however, the British government in India was reluctant to directly support missionary education. There was a feeling that any strong attack on local customs, practices, beliefs and religious ideas might enrage native opinion. He was born on 17 August 1761 Paulerspury, England. He was a Scottish Missionary, known as father of modern missions. He was one who helped establish the Serampore Mission. He also translated Bible Bengali, Sanskrit, and numerous other languages and dialects. He died on 9 June 1834 at the age of 72 at Serampore, India. The demand for moral education
15. Adam found that there were over 1 lakh pathshalas in Bengal and Bihar. These were small institutions with no more than 20 students each. But the total number of children being taught in these pathshalas was considerable- over 20 lakh. These institutions were set up by wealthy peoples, or the local community. At times they were started by a teacher (guru). The system of education was flexible. Few things that associate with schools today were present in the pathshalas at the time. There were no fixed fee, no printed books, no separate schools buildings, no benches or chairs, no blackboards, no system of separate classes, no roll call registers, no annual examinations, and no regular time-table. In some places classes were held under a banyan tree, in other places in the corner of village shop or temple, or at the gurus home. continued. The report of William Adam
16. Fee depended on the income of parents: the rich had to pay more than the poor. Teaching was oral, and the guru decided what to teach, in accordance with the needs of the students. Students were not separated out in different classes: all of them sat together in one place. The guru interacted separately with groups of children with different levels of learning. Adam discovered that this flexible system was suited to local needs. For instance, classes were not held during harvest time when rural children often worked in the fields. The pathshalas started once again when the crops had been cut and stored. This meant that even children of peasant families could study. The report of William Adam
17. Up to the mid-nineteenth century, the Company was concerned primarily with higher education. So it allowed the local pathshalas to interference. After 1854 the Company decided to improve the system of vernacular education. It felt that this could be done by introducing order within the system, imposing routines, established rules, ensuring regular inspections. It appointed a number of government pandits, each in charge of looking after four to five pathshalas and try and improve the standard of teaching. Each guru was asked to submit periodic reports and take classes according to a regular timetable. Teaching was now to be based on textbooks and learning was to be tested through a system of annual examination. Students were asked to pay a regular fee, attend regular classes, sit on fixed seats, and obey the new rules of discipline. New rules, new routines
18. Pathshalas which accepted the new rules were supported through government grants. Those who were unwilling to work within the new system received no government support. Over time gurus who wanted to retain their independence found it difficult to compete with the government aided and regulated pathshalas. The new rules and routines had another consequence. In the earlier system children from poor peasant families had been able to go to pathshalas, since he timetable was flexible. The discipline of the new system demanded regular attendance, even during harvest time when children of poor families had to work in the fields. Inability to attend school came to be seen as indiscipline as evidence of the lack of desire to learn. New rules, new routines
19. Mahatma Gandhi argued that colonial education created a sense of inferiority in the minds of Indians. It made them see Western civilisation as superior, and destroyed the pride they had in their own culture. There was poison in this education, said Mahatma Gandhi, it was sinful, it enslaved Indians, it cast an evil spell on them. Charmed by the West, appreciating everything that came from West, Indians educated in these institutions began admiring British rule. Mahatma Gandhi wanted an education that could help Indians recover their sense of dignity and self-respect. During the national movement he urged students to leave educational institutions in order to show to the British that Indians were no longer willing to be enslaved. English education had enslaved us- Mahatma Gandhi
20. Mahatma Gandhi strongly felt that Indians languages ought to be the medium of teaching. Education in English crippled Indians, distanced them from their own social surroundings, and made them strangers in their own lands. Speaking a foreign tongue, despising local culture, the English educated did not know how to relate to the masses. Western education, Mahatma Gandhi said, focused on reading and writing rather than oral knowledge; it valued textbooks rather than lived experience and practical knowledge. He argued that education ought to develop a persons mind and soul. Literacy- or simply learning to read and write- by itself did not count as education. People had work with their hands, learn a craft, and know how different things operated. This would develop their mind and their capacity to understand. English education had enslaved us- Mahatma Gandhi
21. Rabindranath Tagore started the institution in 1901. As a child, Tagore hated going to school going to school. He found it suffocating and oppressive. The school appeared like a prison, for he could never do what he felt like doing. So while other children listened to the teacher, Tagores mind would wander away. The experience of schooldays in Calcutta shaped Tagores ideas of education. On growing up, he wanted to set up a school where the child was happy, when she could be free and creative, where she was able to explore her own thoughts and desire. Tagore felt that childhood ought to be a time of self- learning, outside the rigid and restricting discipline of the schooling system set up by the British. continued. Tagores adobe of peace- Shantiniketan Garden at Shantiniketan
22. ......... Teachers had to be imaginative, understand the child, and help the child develop her curiosity. According to Tagore, the existing schools killed the natural desire of the child to be creative, her sense of wonder. Tagore was of the view that creative learning could be encouraged only within a natural environment. So he chose to set up his school 100 kilometers away from Calcutta, in a rural setting. He saw it as an adobe of peace (santiniketan), where living in harmony with nature, children could cultivate their natural creativity. In many senses Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi thought about education in similar ways. There were, however, differences too. Gandhiji was highly critical of Western civilisation and its worship of machines and technology. continued Tagores adobe of peace- Shantiniketan
23. Tagore wanted to combine elements of modern Western civilisation with what he saw as the best within Indian tradition. He emphasised , along with art, music and dance. Many individuals and thinkers were thus thinking about the way a national educational system could be fashioned. Some wanted changes within the system set up by the British, and felt that the system could be extended so as to include wider sections of people. Others argued that alternative systems be created so that people were educated into a culture that was truly national. The debate about what this national education ought to be continued rill after independence. Tagores adobe of peace- Shantiniketan

DCI's expertise in training fighter and helicopter pilots at Paris Air Show 2013
DCI & Helidax at Paris Air Show 2013
DCI's expertise in training fighter and helicopter pilots at Paris Air Show 2013.
DCI, a service provider with activities on the entire spectrum of defense and domestic security, possesses unrivaled expertise in training fighter and helicopter pilots.
DCI-AIRCO, in partnership with the French Air Force, has proposed fighter pilot training since 2008. From the theoretical phase to fighter specialty these various training phases take place on French Air Force bases (Salon de Provence, Cognac, Tours and Cazaux). For 5 years, the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) has entrusted DCI with the training of its pilots. After the satisfactory training of the first 4 cadets, Qatar has sent two further batches to France, that are under training.
Anthony Marechal, External Relations Manager, presents the Helidax company during the 50th Paris Air Show.
DCI is also deeply involved in the field of «helicopters». Our services, which generally use means and personnel provided by the French Armed Forces, are labelled by the French Ministry of Defense and integrate the French know-how.
DCI therefore proposes initial training for military pilots which goes far beyond the training of a civilian helicopter pilot. This training is ensured at the ALAT pilot training school in Dax, or in the customer country. DCI, via its subsidiary Hélidax, is an important partner for the Dax school. Hélidax supplies flight hours required for the basic training of pilots from the Armed Forces (land, sea and air), Gendarmerie Nationale and other foreign pilots (Belgians).
In August 2011, DCI-COFRAS was entrusted by the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) to design and operate an academy for its helicopter pilots in Doha. Ground training for the first batch ended late 2012 for the first batch and flying training is currently underway. "Air Academy" is the result of a partnership with QEAF.
More recently, 6 pilots from Niger were trained by DCI-COFRAS in France and Niger within the frame of ab initio training. The government of Niger has decided to extend the project in 2013 with the training of additional aircrews.

Cardarine (GW- 501516) is a chemical which possesses several bodybuilding and health benefits.
However, most of these purported benefits have not yet been backed up. This chemical may in fact have the ability to significantly boost fat burning and metabolism, increase muscle growth and more significantly prevent the occurrence of obesity.
Like every other chemical, Cardarine has side effects and risks that are usually overlooked. We have tried to exhaustively examine the various uses and side effects of Cardarine in this article.
Going by its origins, Cardarine is a chemical that was researched and birthed by GlaxoSmithKline with its several potential benefits to the blood vessels, diabetes and of course the heart.
Due to our somewhat modern non- active lifestyle, there is almost usually a very high risk of metabolic problems arising, such problems could include inflammation, heart disease and diabetes. In a bid by scientists to discover a way to increase physical endurance and speed up fat burning, PPAR- delta pathway was then researched.
The activation of this path way has the ability to drastically improve fat burning, energy, muscle building, endurance and can also help diminish lipid levels in the blood. In fact, the PPAR- delta path way is bonded to and is activated by Cardarine. A huge level of PPAR- delta exists in the muscles and it aids in activating several genes vital for the use of energy.
Activation of the PPAR- delta pathway possesses the potential of playing a very key role in muscle building, improvement of heart health, drastically curbing inflammation and improving metabolism. Thus, focusing Cardarine in this pathway seems like a very rewarding move. The issue however is that scientists all over usually refer to this chemical as a 'failed exercise mimetic'. This is largely due to its rather unfortunate cancer- inducing side effects.
It is vital to note that Cardarine is not a SARM. Also, it is not legal, nor has it been approved for any form of use in humans.
Cardarine was firstly majority researched for this purpose. The PPAR- delta pathway aids in activating several genes which are necessary for burning of fat.
In recent time, a whole lot of human studies have been able to shed a somewhat new light to the fat- burning benefits of Cardarine.
In a study carried out on 13 men who had belly fat and also a poor cholesterol profile, Cardarine was able to reduce fatty acids, VLDL proteins and triglycerides. It was able to work by forcing the liver to on its own get rid of much more VLDL particles. A much more lower doses of 2.5mg/day was used for a period spanning over 6 weeks.
In a separate small study of 12 non- active volunteers, Cardarine was able to increase blood HDL, while placebo on the other hand have reduced it. In fact, it was able to boost the use of fats as a reliable energy source. The activation of carnitine genes and fat burning is likely the reason behind this.
In an experiment carried out in 6 overweight volunteers, Cardarine was able to reverse the symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. In addition, it was able to achieve this without causing any significant damage. This was probably carried out by increasing carnitine in muscles and also fat burning. It was able to lower liver fat by over 20%, insulin by 11%, VLDL by 26%, triglycerides by 30%, LDL by 23%. The daily dosage of GW-501516 used was 2.5 or 10 mg. The cycle period was over 2 weeks..
Moreover, GW-501516 was able to prevent the activities of inflammatory substances, through the PPAR- delta pathway activation in fat tissue. This could then further help with obesity- induced resistance of insulin.
In an animal study, Cardarine was able to protect brain vessels from damage and oxidative stress. In addition, GW501516 was able to help maintain normal blood flow in the brain.
Even though GW-501516 was not tested, PPAR activators was able to boost the development of nerve cells.
Cardarine was able to reduce kidney inflammation in mice. This suggests that it just might be able to protect against kidney disease. Moreover, it was also able to drastically reduce the activity of all the genes linked to kidney disease.
With the activation of the PPAR – delta path way, Cardarine was able to increase the blood- vessel relaxing nitric oxide levels in mice. This nitric oxide helps to boost healing and improve blood flow.
After levels of Cardarine was administered to both animals and humans through various tests, the following side effects were discovered.
It increased cell death in liver cells.
GW-501516 caused liver damage in mice.
