Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson
Audiobook Edition
Finished on 6/23/2018
In an unnamed Middle Eastern security state, a young Arab-Indian hacker shields his clients—dissidents, outlaws, Islamists, and other watched groups—from surveillance and tries to stay out of trouble. He goes by Alif—the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, and a convenient handle to hide behind. The aristocratic woman Alif loves has jilted him for a prince chosen by her parents, and his computer has just been breached by the state's electronic security force, putting his clients and his own neck on the line. Then it turns out his lover's new fiancé is the "Hand of God," as they call the head of state security, and his henchmen come after Alif, driving him underground.
When Alif discovers The Thousand and One Days, the secret book of the jinn, which both he and the Hand suspect may unleash a new level of information technology, the stakes are raised and Alif must struggle for life or death, aided by forces seen and unseen.

The Hand of God Sees All
Spoiler-ific review
Well, that was a wild ride. ALIF THE UNSEEN is a story of djinn and hackers, mosques and smart phone smugglers. In a Middle Eastern police state which is in the middle of an anti-corruption purge, Alif is a grey-hat hacker who provides internet security against both black hat hackers (aka criminals) and white hat hackers (aka government censors). When the government's super-powered intelligence branch brings down the hammer on Alif, he's forced to go on the run with his best friend Dina, a fantasy-reading, veil wearing young woman.
I loved this quite a lot. I think this is probably the best book I've read so far this year, topping JADE CITY. The characters are vibrant and colorful, the settings are vibrant and colorful, the plot is intricate but not tangled.
All the characters are three dimensional, with oddities and banalities. Of the characters, I liked Dina the best. She's a brave young woman who secretly loves Alif, even though he loves another woman. She's extremely out of her depth in the chaos which has befallen the Emirate, but that's not enough to cause her to back down.
The plot is a gradually unfolding story of rebellion against tyranny. It begins with Alif being dumped by his girlfriend Intisar- except a few days later she sends him a mysterious package. And as state police clamps down seeking that package, Alif must go on the run, seeking aid from djinni. We're introduced to kindly old clerics, talking tabby cats, demons who can't answer questions, state torture-prisons in the middle of the desert and Arab-Spring like revolutions. Honestly I'm surprised the author was able to make such a diverse plot make sense, but there is a clear through-line from moment to moment.
The pacing was well done. While there is a slow start for a few chapters, after that the story takes off like a rocketship. There are slower moments later on, but those slow moments are suitable and serve to enhance the plot.
The setting was great. I liked how lived-in the world seemed: we have Malay tea shops and Indian *cough*slave*cough* laborers underpinning the wealthy Arab world of mosques and oil wells. The American character is treated with a sort of affectionate disrespect, while Egyptians are viewed as being sort of out there compared with the local Arabs. I liked it a lot.
I especially liked how the characters were earnest about their Muslim identity- it made the characters seem more sincere and made the setting seem more truthful. If I were to critique a lot of modern Fantasy lit, I would say that we don't take the spiritual or divine very seriously. In fantasy books at best religion is benevolent but not very useful, and at worst organized religion is nefarious and secretly evil. I liked how religion is used by both the good and bad characters as motive and culture.
If I have to give constructive criticism, I'll say that the prose was spotty. At times the prose was fantastic, particularly when discussing the stories from the Thousand and One Days, while at other times it was merely functional. It was like the author used two different narrative voices to write this book, an 'elegant' voice used only for special occasions and a 'plain' voice for everyday use.
The next bit of criticism I have is that the female characters need some work. I think Dina has plenty of agency, but she didn't actually do much which affected the plot. Meanwhile, the Convert suffers a little from 'along for the ride' syndrome. She just goes along for the ride with whatever Alif, Vikram or Dina suggest. At first this is believable, but eventually she winds up in an alternate dimension married to a djinn and pregnant with his child based on the suggestions of other characters, which seemed out of character. Her character could have been handled better.
Highly Recommended. This was a very approachable book.
Stay Sunny!

Taylor Swift's Dancer, Christian Owens is "Lover" Music Video Actor!
WOAH! Talk about a moment in the spotlight and not just on stage! Taylor Swift frequently uses her dancers and even band members in her music videos, but Christian Owens is getting his own special moment to shine. Owens has been with Swift on the last couple of tours, starting with 1989. Her dancers have also appeared in her music videos for the Lover era including "Me!" and " You Need To Calm Down."
The "Lover" music video however marks the first time a dancer has been featured as a love interest! Judging by the thumbnail for the video and the lyrics of the song, this is going to be one steamy close up!
"Lover" music video
You've seen Owens heating up the stage with Swift and here's a look back at the Rep tour, where he clearly holds a special place in Swift's heart! Was the "King of my Heart" performance foreshadowing what was to come?
It is also wonderful that instead of going with a well known model or actor, she is giving the change for her dancers to prove they have a lot more to offer and are versatile in many different roles!
Swift has always been one to give others their moment to shine and this will surely continue to open up more doors for Owens in the future.

Day 18: Celebrate your favorite feature. Take a picture and post it on a social media site. Embrace what makes you YOU.
The Blurb: What's your favorite physical feature?
It's probably a much harder question than what you dislike about you body, which is exactly what we're trying to avoid talking about today. Why do we put such a heavy emphasis on the aspects we want to change? Why doesn't anyone say instead, "I have the best arms," or "Seriously, I should be a foot model." Most of our conversations about our body image revolve around the things we want to change.
Today we are going to embrace something that you LOVE about yourself.
Suggestions: Do you have the straightest, whitest teeth? How about your ankles- do they have a perfect curve? Do you love your junk in the trunk? How about your smile? Your ears? Maybe you have amazing legs. How about your freckles? Think about what makes you feel proud!
Once you decide, take a picture showcasing this feature. You can even have a friend or significant other take a few fun shots. Then just post the pic on your favorite social media site to participate for the day.
I hope you have fun with this focus today!
Hope you're having a great Saturday night! Live up the weekend!
Go HERE if you missed any of the prior days for a recap. Here's the cheat-sheet so you can see what we're doing tomorrow and you can post the pic below to your social networking sites as well! The more the merrier!
Day 7: Identify one relationship that is toxic or robbing too much of your time. Scale back your attachment without guilt.
The Blurb: Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone wants to have more good days than bad. One way to get there is to rid yourself of toxic relationships. I'm not talking about walking away from something that just needs a little nourishment to keep it going (don't up and leave your spouse after reading this or something…) I'm talking about a relationship that has passed over into a drain-all-your-energy quagmire.
1) If you don't feel like you can be your true self around them. If you feel you have to hide parts of your personality from someone, you may want to reassess the relationship, or at least figure out why you feel that way.
2) If they aren't reciprocating. Relationships need to be mutual beneficial to sustain over time. This is a tricky one because it's easy to overlook how someone is treating you RIGHT NOW and just remember how things used to be. Are they STILL doing things that let you know they care about you? Would you still choose be their friend/significant other right now if you only looked at the last month's interactions?
3) Are they discouraging you from growth or change? Surround yourself with people who support your endeavors to become your best self.
4) If the person is verbally unkind. You teach people your limits by what you allow. Be conscious of how people treat you and stand up for yourself.
5) Do you feel like you just can't win? Your opinions should be explored and valued. You should feel like what you bring to the table is just as important as what they bring.
6) Is this person sucking too much of your time? If you're not getting out what you're putting in, you may want to think about how much time you're devoting to the relationship.
****All this being said, there are certain relationships that are WORTH the extra time investment, especially with family and close friends. People go through things and sometimes we have to be a true friend and stick by them even when it's hard. This is NOT the kind of relationship I'm addressing here.
Keeping It Real: This can be a tough one. It may be hard to draw a line in sand because you feel obligated to the relationship. You may want to try slowly cutting the amount of time you spend with/on this person. The other part of this challenge is to do it without guilt. You have to have enough self-respect to trust your gut and say when enough is enough. Don't allow guilt to influence you.
Remember as you're doing this exercise that it goes both ways. You have to ask the same questions about yourself with regard to your relationships. Are you putting enough time into the people that matter? Are you still treating your friends/significant other/spouse with respect and spending enough time with them? Make sure to take a look in the mirror first.
Hopefully this helps you take stock of your relationships. Surround yourself with people that make you happy! The intention of today's focus is to be driven less by obligation and more by true friendship.
If you are just joining in on the 30 Days to Love Yourself Project, you can get caught up HERE.
Hope everyone is having a great week! See you tomorrow!


If you get pulled over for suspicion of DWI or drunk driving in Texas, here are some simple steps you may want to consider. Keep in mind, that by following these simple steps, the police officer will likely arrest you and you may lose your driver's license. Check out our ALR Hearings page to see how you can keep your driver's license. But by following these steps your DWI or drunk driving case will be a lot stronger.
1. Be prepared to give your driver's license and proof of insurance. When stopped for drinking and driving or for being under the influence of narcotics, you should expect to provide your ID and proof of insurance to the officer. Do not take off your seat belt to get your insurance papers before the officer is at your window.
2. Stay in the car with your hands in plain sight and do not make any sudden movements. If the officer asks you to get out of the vehicle, politely ask him if he is ordering you to step out of the vehicle. If he says yes, then follow his order and step out.
3. Do not volunteer any information. You have a right not to speak (remain silent) and not to incriminate yourself. Use this right! If the police officer asks you questions about drinking, driving, drugs, or anything else you do not have to answer these questions — politely refuse.
4. Do not try to talk your way out of anything. Speak as little as possible and let the officer do the talking. Police officers are well-trained and you should not try to explain, justify or argue with the police officer.
5. Always be respectful and nice to the police officer. This can be tough but it is important for you to keep your emotions in check, even when you feel the stop was unjustified.
6. Do not perform any of the field sobriety tests. These can include walking a line test, touching your nose, saying the alphabet backward, counting backward, and/or the one-legged stand test.
7. If you have been drinking, you should consider refusing breath and blood test. By refusing, you will increase the risk of losing your driver's license but your DWI/drunk driving defense will be much stronger.
8. Before voluntarily agreeing to anything, you should consult a lawyer. A lawyer will let you know the consequences of any action you choose and can help inform you of your rights. Keep in mind, an officer may say that you do not have a right to an attorney yet or that an attorney is not needed. But you always have the right to request an attorney when you are being accused of a crime like a DWI.
9. Challenge your license suspension immediately. If the police arrest you for DWI, your driver's license will likely be suspended. However, you have 15 days from the date you are arrested to request an alcohol-related driver's license suspension hearing (an ALR hearing).
10. If you have any questions about DWI/drunk driving contact us here at Matthew Pillado PLLC to get answers.
You should consider contacting an attorney. It is not too late to protect your rights.
Use this contact form, and we will get back to you ASAP.
Don't have time? Need answers now? Call Matthew Pillado PLLC at 800-672-3911 or fill out our online contact form. We have offices in Hurst to serve clients throughout Tarrant County, as well as Irving and the surrounding Dallas area.

Georgia Tech-Savannah graduates its first Coding Boot Camp
Georgia Tech-Savannah
The internet is the best, and sometimes only, link to fundamental information and networks, but code is the power to unlock it all Jul 21, 2017 | By GTPE Communications
bootcamp_demo_day_960x470.jpg
As web design and development move to the forefront in today's economy, Georgia-Tech Savannah this week graduated its first Coding Boot Camp. The intense six-month program teaches the fundamentals of coding and web development.
"I have never seen code before, and I definitely feel like I got a lot out of this boot camp," graduate Laurie Zipperer said.
While other courses are a great way to get a feel for coding, the Georgia Tech program offers students more one-on-one time with instructors for mock interviews, career coaching, sample coding tests and career events; those experiences, Zipperer said, were crucial.
"Compared to a lot of the other boot camps that the surrounding area offers, this is the best one. … The amount of support that Georgia Tech offers is just unbelievable," Zipperer said.
Graduate Kandace Sweat participated in a coding-based certificate program before graduating from the University of Georgia in 2013 with a degree in communications. It was that program that exposed her to coding, mobile apps and building websites, cementing her path in web development.
"That steered me away from public relations, and I knew once I graduated that coding is what I wanted to do and it's what I'm passionate about," said Sweat, who now works at Daniel Defense as a web application developer.
Sweat came to realize that she needed to further her coding and technical background. She found the Georgia Tech program through an email sent by her company.
"I needed that technical background, and I needed an academic way of learning coding and needed someone to go to if I ran into problems," she said.
The students said time management was one of the biggest challenges of the 24-week course, but the support from instructors and staff was unmatched.
"It was a struggle, especially when we came to difficult concepts, which there were a lot of, but the teaching assistants and everyone else is extremely helpful, and if you had an issue with a problem you could always go to them and we always came to a solution," Sweat said.
"I don't think I ever had a problem that we didn't come to a solution on."
Sweat said she's been able to apply her knew skills at her job and has created a Learning Management System that will serve as a hub where training directors can upload material for new employees.
"It's helped a lot. There are so many projects and possibilities. I'm really excited about it," she said.
Zipperer, who currently serves as community manager at The Creative Coast, plans to use what she learned to build on her professional career and contribute to the local technology scene in Savannah.

Q: PHP and Mcrypt for alphabet only crypts? Below is my current encryption function.
define('ENCRYPT_KEY', 'ldkKKmeJddeFffKdjeddd');

function market_dock_api_encrypt($string) {
        $key = ENCRYPT_KEY; //preset key to use on all encrypt and decrypts.
        $result = '';
   for($i=0; $i<strlen($string); $i++) {
     $char = substr($string, $i, 1);
     $keychar = substr($key, ($i % strlen($key))-1, 1);
     $char = chr(ord($char)+ord($keychar));
     $result.=$char;
   }
   return urlencode(base64_encode($result));
}

I just realised that this sometimes results in keys with characters such as "%" in it, and I need a key that I can use in URLs. How can I change this to allow for that? I was under the impression that that's what the base64_encode part does. Obviously, I'm wrong.

A: The string returned is safe to use in URLs - the "%"s come from it being passed through urlencode().
The base64_encode() was designed to pass binary data through ASCII, not specifically for URLs, so it can use "=", "+" and "/".
From the function comments:

This function supports "base64url" as described in Section 5 of RFC 4648, "Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet"

<?php
function base64url_encode($plainText)
{
    $base64 = base64_encode($plainText);
    $base64url = strtr($base64, '+/', '-_');
    return ($base64url);
}
?>

You may wish to rtrim (or escape) trailing ='s for use in a URI.

If you use this you'd obviously have to create a decoder as well.

Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen Will Drive Their Ferrari F1 Cars at Daytona
For the first time in its near 60-year history, F1 cars will hit the banks of Daytona.
By Chris Perkins
Clive MasonGetty Images
Every year, Ferrari hosts an event called Finali Mondiali, a multi-day celebration of the brand's participation in motorsports. This year's event should be extra special because it's being held at Daytona, and Ferrari is planning on bringing Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and their F1 cars. In the process, they're going to make history.
This marks the first time in Datyona's 57-year history that F1 cars will drive on the track, and based on what Ferrari promises in a press release, it should be one heck of a sight. Ferrari will use Daytona's 3.56-mile road course and plan on letting Vettel and Raikkonen run some hot laps. In addition, Ferrari plans to bring some historic F1 cars to add to the fun.
While F1 used to race at Indianapolis, there are no tracks on its current calendar with anything like Daytona's 31-degree banking. Seeing modern, high-downforce F1 cars on a track like Daytona should be incredible.
Finali Mondiali, which is held from December 1st-4th, will also feature various Ferrari Challenge races and a demonstration of the brand's track-only XX cars. In other words, this is heaven for Ferrari fans.

Everything we know so far about the proposed abortion limits in the US
The US Supreme Court looks set to tighten abortion access with a Mississippi law banning abortion at just 15 weeks.
Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke in favour of the ban yesterday, "we are asking the Supreme Court of the United States to overturn Roe v Wade and restore the sanctity of life at the center of American law."
Protestors gathered outside the Supreme Court in Washington DC as the 9 justices, 6 of who are conservative, heard two hours of arguments in the case.
Thousands gather across US to protest Texas abortion ban
The case is centered around upholding a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks and has been passed by the Republican-led legislature in the Southern state.
Mississippi's General Solicitor, Scott Steward, argued that the law should ultimately be decided by the state and not the Supreme Court. "When an issue affects everyone and when the Constitution does not take sides on it, it belongs to the people."
"This court should overrule Roe and Casey and uphold the state's law," he said.
Protests also took place in Mississippi's capital, the state currently only has one abortion clinic which makes access limited as it is.
One abortions rights protestor Patricia Ice spoke to WTTW News about having to get an illegal abortion in the 1960s; "I don't want us to have to go back to those days."
"I don't want to go back 50 years to those days — thinking about it makes me shudder," she said.
Lack of information a major barrier for women seeking abortions in Ireland
If the Supreme Court decides to allow Mississippi to impose its abortion regulations it will be overriding the Roe v Wade landmark case of 1973 and the 1992 case of Planned Parenthood v Casey.
Roe v Wade found restrictive regulation of abortion by the state to be unconstitutional and made abortion legal until the fetus can survive outside the womb typically at 22-24 weeks.
Although it has faced many challenges Roe v Wade has been upheld for the last 47 years, in 1992 the Planned Parenthood v Casey case upheld 1973 ruling and further found it unconstitutional to plan an "undue burden" on a women's ability to access an abortion.
Four of the six conservative justices who sit on the Supreme Court have seemed to be in support of overturning Roe v Wade.
Two of these were appointed by Donald Trump while he was in office. As reported by Vox during Donald Trump's time as president he vowed to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe V Wade.
The Texas abortion law proves we still have far to go for women's autonomy in 2021
Trump nominated Amy Cohen Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who in contrast to Bader Ginsburg is vocally pro-life and has advocated for the reversal of Roe v Wade.
Attorney Julie Rikelman argued against the state of Mississippi on behalf of the Center for Reproductive Rights and stated how unconstitutional the ban would be.
"For a state to take control of a woman's body and demand that she goes through pregnancy and childbirth — with all the physical risks and life-altering consequences that brings – is a fundamental deprivation of her liberty," Rikelman said.
The decision is set to be made by the Supreme Court in June of this year.
If the Mississippi law is successfully upheld, two dozen other states in America are expected to make an effort to restrict abortion.
This is likely to increase illegal and unsafe abortions as well as putting immense pressure on abortion services in states where it will remain legal.

How Do You Run a Business? – #MTtalk Roundup
Yolande Conradie
#MTtalk, Leadership
My grandfather stood six feet, six inches tall, and his personality was even larger. He had a big, booming laugh, and spoke to everybody and anybody. Inside that huge body there was also a big heart, one that struggled to say "no" to anyone who asked him for help.
When I was eight, and old enough to understand that grown-ups sometimes talk about things without referring to the actual "thing" in question, I noticed my parents and grandparents often mentioning "that man." Something in their tone told me that there was a negative connotation to "that man."
That same year, my grandparents moved into a small apartment. It was only years later that I learned the truth behind the "that man" conversations and the move we had to make.
The Embezzler
My grandpa was a wealthy man. He owned a successful transport business. His work ethic was beyond reproach: he took calculated risks, hired good people, treated his employees well and his customers even better. However, his inability to say "no" would eventually lead to his downfall.
Enter grandpa's friend, uncle Henry – a.k.a. "that man." Henry was also in the transport business, but had fallen on hard times. Grandpa felt sorry for uncle Henry and allowed him to become his business manager. The arrangement worked well, for the first two years at least. Eventually, uncle Henry was given total control of the finances, and Grandpa trusted him.
Grandma was uneasy though, and when uncle Henry asked if he could become a partner in the business, Grandma was dead set against it. Grandpa, on the other hand, didn't want to say no to one of his oldest friends.
Five years later, uncle Henry went AWOL – with most of my grandpa's money.
Henry had wormed his way into every part of the business and proceeded to embezzle a fortune. Grandpa was 60 when he lost his business – and it broke his spirit. He died a mere six years later. And the money uncle Henry had stolen from our family was never recovered.
Running a business is tricky. Just one bad decision can make a successful business go under, as the story of my grandfather illustrates only too well.
Many people think that starting a business is a matter of having a good idea, putting up a sign, buying an extra computer, and advertising on social media – and then serving the customers who've beaten a path to the door.
If only it were that simple!
We often use the phrase "business as usual." But what does running a business look like?
In his book "On the Origin of Species," Charles Darwin said that it's not the strongest or the most intelligent species that survive, but rather the ones that adapt to change the quickest. There are countless examples of business giants that, over the years, adapted just a tad too slowly – and today they're business history.
Creative Adaptation
One of the scaffolds that makes adaptation in business possible is the ability to think creatively. How can you solve a customer's problem? In what ways can you outwit your competitors? How do you navigate an event such as the COVID-19 pandemic? What is it that your customers need that they don't even know they need?
Creativity is vital for answering these questions and thinking differently to solve problems – and to predict what's coming.
It's important to develop an excellent understanding of your market and your competitors. Who will fork out money for your product, and why? Why would they support your competitors? What can you offer your customers that your competitors can't or won't?
Goodbye Henry
After my grandpa passed away, uncle Henry tried to woo my grandma. No jokes. Ten days after my grandpa's funeral, "that man" came to our house unannounced and, after a cup of tea – that I had to make! – asked my grandma to go out with him. The nerve of the man!
He did go out – but out the front door. On his own. We never saw him again.
How Do You Run a Business?
In our #MTtalk Twitter chat last Friday, we discussed how to run a business, and explored the important things to keep in mind when you're trying to make it a success.
Here are all the questions we asked, and some of the best responses:
Q1. Why does running a business appeal to you?
@MikeB_MT It may be in my blood. I come from a family of small business owners and entrepreneurs. And though I've usually worked a full-time job with a company, I've always run a side business or two.
@MindfulLifeWork I started MLMW to scale my sphere of influence in the world... i.e. a business allows "me" to be in more than one place at a time. When impact scales, so does income... both are welcome, and both support a sustainable and reinforced growth.
Q2. What strengths would you (do you) bring to running your own business?
@CaptRajeshwar Long vision, teamwork, stakeholders involvement, ROI, listening, open communication, SWOT.
@katwife Embrace multi-tasking. You need to wear many hats. New biz, accounting, research, as well as client outreach. I do PR and marketing so it's 360 from behind the scenes to actively pitching media.
Q3. Which areas would you (do you) need help with in running your own business?
@SarahH_MT Top 3 Areas: 1. Accountancy support – this is a MUST. I've had it since Day One and wouldn't be without it. 2. Website and IT support, again a given. 3. Marketing support... I don't have it but absolutely need it.
@Yolande_MT As much as it is a strength, my work ethic is also a weakness – I overwork myself.
Q4. How will you secure the knowledge, skills and experience that you need?
@DrKashmirM No substitute for experience. We should have a team that have no ego in sharing knowledge or lack of knowledge.
@SizweMoyo Short courses are my go-to. They remind me that I'm not the only person with such problems, and give me a chance to meet those who share my shortcomings.
Q5. How would you (do you) set your business apart from others'?
@ColfaxInsurance You have to lean into your knowledge and experiences – you're the only one who can do it how YOU do it. I would just be me.
@Yolande_MT Think creatively and offer your customers an added service they didn't know they could/should get from you.
Q6. What's the biggest challenge you see/have experienced in running a business?
@bodytextpro Working with or managing friends and family can be a... challenge!
@BRAVOMedia1 When I started consulting in digital marketing and SEO – there were very few of us who understood the craft well enough to make serious gains. My industry has become saturated with consultants and DIY websites promise all the bells to success – yet they are unable to deliver.
Q7. What's the difference between working in your business and working on your business?
@MindfulLifeWork Working IN the business is primarily the delivery of services. Working ON the business falls into the realms of design, vision, strategy, systems, protocols, practices, and company culture. Working ON the business is a leadership duty.
@MikeB_MT Working in your business sounds like a day-to-day thing, possibly more reactive. Working on your business may involve more long-term planning, bigger picture thinking, and may lead to longer lasting success.
Q8. How could you (do you) balance/manage these two types of activities?
@SoniaH_MT The key to balancing/managing working IN vs ON a business is time management. Both actions are necessary; identify your peak alert times of the day/week and get to it!
@SizweMoyo Just dedicate time each week to balance the scales on those two sides of a business. Don't stick too hard to a set calendar though, because you can still have an idea about improving the "working in," while "working on" the business.
Q9. What's your succession plan? How and when will you step back?
@SarahH_MT Definitely get a mentor, don't be afraid to ask for help and network with people whom you may be able to help in return for them helping you with something you need. These are all low-cost options that in my experience really work.
@Midgie_MT I do not have a formal succession plan as I am a one-person business. I do however have a network of people who I can pass referrals to if I am unable to take on the work.
Q10. What advice would you offer to someone thinking of starting their own business?
@TheTomGReid Think twice. Maybe three times.
@Dwyka_Consult Be wise, ask for help, and don't let anyone pressure you into decisions that your gut isn't comfortable with.

Our Community and Career Coaches Weigh In
Some of our coaches also weighed in on the elements they deem important to running a business.
Great Customer Service and Having Focus
Marketing and communications professional and coach Mike Barzacchini @MikeB_MT suggested that amazing customer service can give businesses a strategic advantage:
"Amazing service used to be a given. But now, when we receive amazing service from a business, we're often surprised and delighted. We remember the experience and consciously, or subconsciously, it helps affect our decision to return and to buy again. Committing to exceptional, amazing service can be a strategic advantage for attracting and retaining customers.
"One idea to help with this is to create a service personality statement for your business. This would describe the impression you want to make on new and returning customers when you interact with them. Defining and committing to a service personality will not only help your business today, but will also help train new employees and associates when they join your business."
For Mike, staying focused and being consistent can also have huge payoffs for a business:
"If you want to provide amazing service, if you want to build a memorable brand, if you want to succeed in the long term, you also need to stay focused and consistent.
"It's easy for business owners to shift priorities and to react to trends and market conditions. But look at the businesses that have succeeded in the long term. Chances are they've focused on doing one thing well. Once mastered, then they may try to diversify and build different lines of business, but most often, that diversification is also part of a focused plan.
"You're smart, resourceful, an expert in your field. You can likely do anything you want with your business. But you can't do everything you want. Focus and stay consistent on providing the products and services that are most true to who you are, what you do best, and what your customers desire. When you're doing that, you know you're on the path to success."
Don't Forget About Work-Life Balance
Another of our career coaches, Sarah Harvey @SarahH_MT, emphasized that importance of self-care when running a business:
"People set up their businesses for various reasons, with one of the often-cited motivations being to work around other commitments and achieve a better work-life balance. Inevitably, business owners need to be prepared to make sacrifices to run their business profitably and, unfortunately, one of the unintended sacrifices tends to be work-life balance.
"In reality, looking after your well-being as a business owner often takes a back seat. You're passionate about the business you've set up, you're driven to make it a success, and you're willing to give it your all. It feels great to work for yourself and realize your dreams of working for yourself. But where does self-care fit in?
"If you make too many personal sacrifices, you'll soon find you have no life beyond your business. You may find you start eating unhealthily or stop exercising. You may not be able to find the time to see your partner, children, family, or friends as often as you'd like. You could develop poor sleeping patterns and not feel able to "switch off," so your rest and recuperation can suffer. If this continues long term you will eventually become resentful or even burnt out. And where would your business be then?"
Take an Organized Approach to Your Organization
Sonia D. Harris @SoniaH_MT is an organizer par excellence, so she shared a few thoughts about staying organized:
"As someone planning to launch a business, you may be asking yourself, 'How do I get organized?' Before answering this question, you must acknowledge and accept your skill set and tolerance levels. Ask yourself, 'What am I great at doing? What do I like doing? How much do I like performing these duties?'
"There will be operational duties that you want to manage yourself, and others that you may wish to delegate to someone else (employee, contractor or volunteer). Time is valuable, so remember to consider the cost of the opportunity. Is this task the best use of your time? And don't forget to delegate some business functions. It's okay to manage it yourself, but be prepared to use multiple tools or software to help increase your productivity.
"To stay organized each day:
Stick to a designated time to check emails and social media.
Set tomorrow's to-do list at the end of each day.
Keep your workspace clean."
Coming Up on Next Week's #MTtalk
If you start or run a business, the most important person to manage well is you. Next time on #MTtalk we're going to discuss how we use the words "I am" in ways that can help us or hinder us.
So, in our Twitter poll this week, we'd like to know why you most often use the phrase "I am."

Second airport in capital city added to Hà Nội's draft planning
HÀ NỘI - The Civil Aviation Authority of Việt Nam (CAAV) announced it has included a project to develop a second airport in the capital city of Hà Nội in its draft planning on the national system of airports.
Nội Bài International Airport in Hà Nội. - VNA/VNS Photo Huy Hùng
Along with the Hà Nội airport project, the authority also added the Cao Bằng airport project in the northern mountainous province of Cao Bằng. The projects will not be executed in the 2020-2030 period but before 2050.
A CAAV representative said on Sunday the authority had completed the draft planning.
CAAV has yet to determine the location of the airport in Hà Nội and has asked the city to propose a location after 2040. Earlier, the municipal Department of Zoning and Architecture proposed building the airport in Ứng Hòa District.
Under the draft planning, Việt Nam will have 26 airports by 2030 instead of 28 as stated in the current plan. The Na San airport project in Sơn La Province and the Lai Châu airport project in Lai Châu Province will be postponed until after 2030.
The draft planning does not include the Hà Tĩnh and Thanh Sơn airport projects as proposed earlier by Hà Tĩnh and Ninh Thuận provinces.
The CAAV also plans to upgrade and expand some airports. Specifically, Nội Bài International Airport in Hà Nội will have three runways by 2030. By 2050, it will have four runways and three new terminals to increase the airport's annual capacity to 100 million passengers.
In addition, the first phase of the Long Thành International Airport project in Đồng Nai Province was expected to be completed in 2025. It will have four runways and one more terminal to serve 120 million passengers by 2050.
The Đà Nẵng International Airport in Đà Nẵng was planned to be expanded to have three runways to reach a capacity of 40 million passengers per year by 2050.
By 2050, the Thọ Xuân Airport in Thanh Hóa Province will have two runways to annually serve 10 million passengers.
The CAAV estimated the total investment for the projects at some VNĐ365.1 trillion in 2020-2030 and VNĐ866.36 trillion in 2030-2050.
At present, the country is home to 22 airports.


Spanish terminal operating company Berge´ has expanding its warehousing capacity for dry bulks at the northern port of Santander. The new facilities, which are on the outskirts of the port, are aimed at improving storage of agribulk. Enhanced handling equipment has also been acquired.
In total, 3,500m2 of new warehousing has been brought on line, capable of storing up to 12,000 tonnes of dry bulk, particularly cereals and flour.
In May, Berge´ is also due to make operational a new nine-metre high hopper that has a 250-tonne capacity, which will also be used in the handling of grains and flour. Dust suppression features have been built into this new equipment such as a new flex-flap, upper enhancement protection, side walls and slatted curtains, all of which will improve environmental standards.
Although a major player in the Spanish market, in 2016, at Santander, Berge´ handled around 900,000 tonnes of general cargo and dry bulk. Of this, agribulk accounted for just 180,000 tonnes, which in turn was about half the total for the port as a whole.

Professor Magda Teter's New Book, "Blood Libel: On the Trail of An AntiSemetic Myth" (Harvard, 2020) is Now Out.
"A landmark history of the antisemitic blood libel myth—how it took root in Europe, spread with the invention of the printing press, and persists today. Accusations that Jews ritually killed Christian children emerged in the mid-twelfth century, following the death of twelve-year-old William of Norwich, England, in 1144. Later, continental Europeans added a destructive twist: Jews murdered Christian children to use their blood. While charges that Jews poisoned wells and desecrated the communion host waned over the years, the blood libel survived.
Initially blood libel stories were confined to monastic chronicles and local lore. But the development of the printing press in the mid-fifteenth century expanded the audience and crystallized the vocabulary, images, and "facts" of the blood libel, providing a lasting template for hate. Tales of Jews killing Christians—notably Simon of Trent, a toddler whose body was found under a Jewish house in 1475—were widely disseminated using the new technology. Following the paper trail across Europe, from England to Italy to Poland, Magda Teter shows how the blood libel was internalized and how Jews and Christians dealt with the repercussions. The pattern established in early modern Europe still plays out today. In 2014 the Anti-Defamation League appealed to Facebook to take down a page titled "Jewish Ritual Murder." The following year white supremacists gathered in England to honor Little Hugh of Lincoln as a sacrificial victim of the Jews. Based on sources in eight countries and ten languages, Blood Libel captures the long shadow of a pernicious myth."
"An intellectual tour de force. This authoritative study of the blood libel and its ramifications in early modern Europe will become a classic."—Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia, author of Trent 1475: Stories of a Ritual Murder Trial
"A work of wide-ranging research, great insight, and remarkable erudition. This will be the definitive book on blood libel for a long time to come, equally important for readers of Jewish history and Christian history in early modern Europe."—Larry Wolff, author of Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment
"In this deeply researched and meticulously argued book, Magda Teter offers the first comprehensive study of the origins and afterlife of one of the most virulent and harmful of all anti-Jewish accusations. But Blood Libel is far more than a narrative history. By highlighting the central role of printed books, broadsheets, and images in the dissemination of the libel, Teter illuminates the mechanisms by which hate can be generated, and offers a powerful and sobering lesson for our own time."—Sara Lipton, author of Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Semitic Iconography

ON THE TURNTABLE:and the year was-1970

ON THE TURNTABLE: And the year was…1970
Every few weeks I post a review of the albums I listened to in a particular year. So today is one of those postings…AND THE YEAR WAS:1970
Strange freaking year for me.January of 1970 I just turned eighteen years old, awaiting graduation from high school, applying to colleges and possible facing the military draft. No matter what transpired the night before or what each morning brought upon us, we partied on.My job at the cassette factory recently closed so I had to find gainful employment to keep my obsession of attending live shows and buying recorded music. I found not one job but two; One working in a boat yard part time after school and full time on the weekends, as well as working evenings as a substitute cleaner/custodian in the local schools when called upon, which was regularly.That custodian gig paid off big time years later, but that's another story altogether.I graduated high school in June, worked the summer, and headed off to college in September. There I immediately landed on the college radio station doing Friday night 11PM to Saturday 7 AM as well as an occasional afternoon show.
1970 Music: in no particular order or favor:
To me NEIL YOUNG's third album "After The Gold Rush" (August 70)was better than CSNY's (March 70)"Deja Vu" but not nearly as exciting as Neil's "Everybody Knows…". It's 1970, so "…Gold Rush" is the perfect collection for the 8-track tape players we all installed in our cars. One copy of "Gold Rush" moved from one friend's cars to other friends cars. Perfect "pot smoking music" was how it was once described.
After I and II the new LED ZEPPELIN album had to entitled " III".They are original…or maybe not, anyway "Immigrant Song" kicks it off, on from there it was electric, acoustic,electric back to acoustic. Cool stuff. The tune"Since I've Been Loving You" was copped directly from the obscure "Grape Jam". Robert Plant was good friends with BOB MOSLEY of MOBY GRAPE so Zep stole from every one, being unscrupulous,unmerciful, but good.
VAN MORRISON's "Moon Dance" was another staple on the ole turntable, as well as the new turntable/stereo which I had updated at this time. I now had an actual stereo system with true speaker separation… And loud,too.
THE WHO- "Live at Leeds" I bought this (vinyl), threw it on, cranked up the stereo and almost blew out the windows to my room.Simply said, it's "DA 'HO"…played it a 1000 times.
THE BEATLES "Let It Be" well… everyone bought this. No biggie here for me, I did buy it but hardly ever played it. I did buy the "Naked" version years later and must say I like the Naked better.
TRAFFIC: "John Barleycorn Must Die"-Summer of '70, six songs, thirty five minutes, bravo. I was so glad BLIND FAITH was over and TRAFFIC together for another go round. This was a quite different TRAFFIC sound and another great tape to bring out with the boys on the corner.
Two from ELTON JOHN, "Elton John" and "Tumbleweed Connection"- After seeing ELTON JOHN (the trio) open for LEON RUSSELL @ Fillmore East, I was sold, this guy would be huge, but how huge I did not know.
BAND OF GYPSYS "Band of Gypsy's"-I appreciated his uniqueness, his innovative approach but still was not a huge fan as were most of my friends. Don't get me wrong, his first album was a gem, and "Electric Ladyland", wow. Then I wanted to go to this FILLMORE EAST show, New Years Day 1970, even had tickets but that's another story. After I got this album, I really regretted not going and had a higher appreciation of the artistry known as HENDRIX.
THE DOORS- "Morrison's Hotel", this is their fifth album. Their fourth sucked, horns and all. This was a "return to the blues" so said one reviewer. Which blues, I'll never know. Better than "Soft Parade", I'll give you that.
CSNY "Deja Vu" Funny how I liked most of the tunes, except the Graham Nash ones. To this day, I still laugh at the words to "Our House".With "Two cats in the yard"…"flowers in the vase"…yuck, this is rock and roll, Graham.
T.REX- "T.Rex"(1970 release) After reading about T. Rex and DAVID BOWIE in MELODY MAKER I contacted the record company and received a copy of the album for the radio station in January 1971. I took it home on the winter break and never brought it back.
DEREK and THE DOMINOS-"Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" I saw the band at FILLMORE EAST in October before the album was released. November ,we get it at the radio station, and I throw it on in the lounge. "Little Wing" grabbed my attention, then that "Layla" tune was kinda special. We saw the band again in December at Suffolk Community College (another story), they never played "Layla" but we did on the station, constantly. During one of my overnighters I played the entire album along with the original version of some of the blues numbers.
THE GRATEFUL DEAD- "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty" both were heavy rotation on my show and in my room.
MILES DAVIS: "Bitches Brew"- "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down" followed by DR JOHN'S " Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya" can get one in a bit of controversy with the radio staff, especially when you are the new guy (me) and the offended party is the outgoing "thinks he is a big shot Assistant Program Director", a guy who regularly plays a "Melanie Half Hour". I still swear he removed "Bitches Brew" from the record library. Smart me, I'll bring my own and play it again, just for fun.
Speaking of fun…THE STOOGES "Fun House" was not welcomed at my parent's home nor at the radio station…no fun zone, I guess. Nor was the VELVET UNDERGROUND's "Loaded" welcomed but I played "Sweet Jane", "Who Loves The Sun" and "Rock & Roll" to no end. Throw in the MC5 "Back In The USA" and one can see why I was hosting a very late night radio show. rather than "the Breakfast Hour".
And then there was THE KINKS "Lola Versus Powerman and The Money Go Round", JETHRO TULL'S"Benefit", VAN MORRISON's "His Band and Street Choir" wonderful follow up to "Moon Dance",
WOODSTOCK "TheSound Track, JOE COCKER's"Mad Dogs and Englishmen", ROD STEWART's "Gasoline Alley,THE BEACH BOYS "Sunflower" and of course SPIRIT "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus".
Funny, by Spring of 71 I was in charge of the record library at the station, a true benefit for any record collector, AND was doing Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, with a weekend show… 16 hours total air time…AND NO HOLDS BARRED.
TICKETS TORN IN HALF July 12,1973: VAN MORRISON and The CALEDONIA SOUL ORCHESTRA @ AVERY FISHER HALL
Posted by MICHAEL C. HODGKISS in heart broken, Kevin Patrick, Rock music, rock music trivia, Ticket Stubs, Uncategorized, Van Morrison
TICKETS TORN IN HALF July 12,1973: VAN MORRISON and The CALEDONIA SOUL ORCHESTRA @ AVERY FISHER HALL (aka Philharmonic Hall) We had great seats, left side of stage about seven rows back. A pre-show dinner at a snazzy restaurant across the road where my brother thought it a good idea to take packs of DOMINO sugar to throw during Van's rendition of DOMINO. I didn't think it was a particularly good idea. And I was right as Kevin Patrick's antics almost got us tossed out of the show. Van's band was fantastic, as in really fantastic and he closed with a 12 minute plus version of CYPRUS AVENUE, whew. I was really impressed by the entire show. A TOP TEN kinda show. John Platania on guitar was amazing, the horns, fantastic and VAN THE MAN at the top of his game, bringing all to NYC to "bring the house down" which he did.

Le Confort intellectuel est un essai de Marcel Aymé paru en 1949 chez Flammarion, paru en prépublication dans la revue La Table ronde.

Marcel Aymé a publié plusieurs essais de 1938 à 1963 : Silhouette du Scandale (1938, ouvrage de commande), Le Trou de la Serrure (éditions du Palimugre, 1946), Sur une Légende (L'Herne, 1963, témoignage sur Céline). Le Confort intellectuel apparaît dans cet ensemble comme le texte le plus ambitieux et sans doute le plus personnel.

La propension à inclure des analyses relativement indépendantes de l'intrigue, à prendre un point de vue latéral à la narration, existe dans Aller-Retour en 1927 (passage sur l'avare) comme dans des pages d'Uranus sur l'éducation. Marcel Aymé semble bien, par ce moyen comme par son abondante production d'articles des années trente à 1940, avoir nourri une ambition d'être non seulement romancier, et conteur, mais aussi intellectuel. Ces incursions, traduites par sa signature en 1935 du Manifeste pour la Défense de l'Occident, et les déboires consécutifs, n'allèrent pas sans embûches.

Le Confort intellectuel s'inscrit dans ce contexte : Aymé s'exprime en recourant très peu au couvert de la fiction, sans toutefois renoncer à une trame narrative qui facilite la distanciation. Faisant suite à deux romans importants rédigés après guerre, l'essai débute sur l'évocation de l'épuration, que Marcel Aymé avait ressentie à travers un blâme sans affichage du comité national des écrivains. L'essai, qui emprunte à une forme dialoguée pratiquée par Diderot, repose sur la conversation entre un écrivain qui s'est mis au vert pour se faire oublier après l'Occupation, et M. Lepage, conservateur mi éclairé, mi misanthrope : deux porte-paroles possibles de l'auteur, comme Archambaud et Watrin dans Uranus en 1948.

Le fond de l'ouvrage se situe entre La Trahison des Clercs et la Littérature à l'Estomac - voire L'Opium des Intellectuels ; avec, malgré l'anachronisme, une tonalité évoquant la critique de la société du spectacle.

Analyses
Ce livre a été assez peu commenté. André Maurois en a rédigé une préface. Roger Nimier en a dit du bien, en quelques lignes. Deux articles consacré aux essais de Marcel Aymé dans les Cahiers de la SAMA ont apporté quelques éléments (Cahier Marcel Aymé n°27, 2009, "Marcel Aymé essayiste"; N°29 , 2010,"Les cinq tentations de Marcel Aymé").

Prince's private memorial in LA
http://www.etonline.com/n..._memorial/
he solemn event was organized by Prince's ex-wives, Manuela Testolini and Mayte Garcia, and held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles. The location of the memorial was a closely-guarded secret in the days leading up to the event.
Marrk
Interesting guest list. Lots of ex's in one place.
Yeah, we'll, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like.
Marrk said:
Yes, i found that quite interesting. A lot of love there.
gigilamorosa
It really sounds like a lovely service, wit Prince being remembered by those who loved him dearly. I'm glad they did this.
Interesting that they did this without his Siblings being included, or wait for them to organise an official memorial.
And explains the slightly bizarre statement from Tyka about non-offical memorials (as far as we knew there weren't any!)... It sounds slightly bitchy in the context of this now happening. She clearly was pissed about it.
But it seems that lots of people that knew Prince quite well turned up to this anyway. Which perhaps says something about their thought about his family... maybe!??
2elijah
Just my opinion, but they still should have at least reached out to some of his family members to attend, and should understand that his siblings are still grieving. I mean it was nice of them to do a memorial. I think reaching out to his actual family, would have been the respectful thing to do, even if they denied the invitation.
I could understand his family members trying to protect their brother from those who probably weren't around as his friends, in the last 2 or 3 years of his life, and only showing their faces now.
bashraka
Only Prince's exes could make memorials honoring Prince a cold war about which woman Prince loved the most.

Sounds like a lovely service.

They must have reached out in some way, as Prince's brother Omarr spoke at the service...

so they did reach out to his family then. good. how do we know his family was any closer to him than his friends or ex's? one hadn't been in touch with him in 15 years!
So Omar was invited to the LA service? Interesting.
He's listed as a speaker in the program.
Here's a clickable link:
keenly
Good for them. Tyka wwas not the closest person to Prince, and nobody needs her permission to honour him.
tiggerlane
I would love to know which Khalil Gibran poem was read, as well as view the musical tribute film and celebration of life film listed in the program.
"I gave my love, I gave my life, I gave my body and mind..." - P
Thank you for the gifts - we will all meet again, dear Prince.
Looks like a Hollywood thing. Celebrities and people who hadn't seen him in ages.
lwr001
they probably did,,Tyka should have already done this ...its not tlike they need their permission and the folks in attendance prob had a better relationship with him than did his family
paulludvig said:
like some in his own family. anyway, these people were not just hollywood people. ex wives, mother of his child, ex girlfriends, friends who loved him and he loved should have the opportunity to come together, grieve him and provide some closure for them.
how do you make that statement ., you dont know that who he has seen and hasnt
peri1025
A lot of beautiful people. Seems he touched a lot of lives in different ways. I do wonder where were others like Andy Allo, Carmen Electra, Stevie Wonder, Janelle etc. Maybe not pictured but interesting who maybe was and was not invited. Good for Mayte for organizing a service.
i htought folks said this was BS as TMZ reported it first...........lolz
lwr001 said:
Well none of us would really know what kind of relationship he had with his family members or friends. We're all just still in the grieving process of losing a mega star musician and just being speculative I guess.
vandeluca
Were these same attendees at the April Service at PP? I saw pics of Sheila, Andy Allo, etc..but none of Mayte, Manuela, Wendy, Lisa, etc..I was just curious if they were asked to the Paisley one..
endiadj said:
It's my impression that the people he was in regular contact with went to the first memorial. But the people who went to this one are perhaps the people members of the org would have preferred he was still friends with?
avajane
peri1025 said:
And Mani, she organized it with Mayte. I wonder who wasn't invited? Were Sheila E. or Larry there?
Love is God,
Probably the whole family members were, but only Omarr accepted or went as a representative of the family.
babynoz
Yep. That was my impression too.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Also, I thought the memalign hack was generally not needed anymore.
Which platforms still need it?

Edgehill (Dernancourt)
3 Australian Casualty Clearing Station
Mapping Dernancourt
Diary of Sister Annie Bell
Narrative of Sister Gertrude Doherty
Edgehill, 2011
The XV Corps Main Dressing Station was formed at Dernancourt in August 1916, when the adjoining EXTENSION was opened. The 45th and 1st/1st South Midland Casualty Clearing Stations came in September 1916 and remained until March 1917. The 3rd Australian was here in March and April 1917, and the 56th from April 1917 to February 1918. The 3rd Casualty Clearing Station came in March 1918 but on 26 March, Dernancourt was evacuated ahead of the German advance, and the extension remained in their hands until the village was recaptured on 9 August by the 12th Division and the 33rd American division. In September it was again used by the 47th, 48th and 55th Casualty Clearing Stations under the name of "Edgehill", due to the rising ground on the north-west. At the Armistice, the Extension contained more than 1,700 burials; it was then enlarged when graves were brought in from small cemeteries and isolated positions in the immediate neighbourhood.
January/1917 passed without any special events of note and on February the 9th/17 the Unit received orders to move to Edgehill which was near the Town of Albert. Lorries were provided and the move was carried out expeditiously and soon the camp was ready for the reception of wounded, stretcher cases were received this time.

In March 1917, I joined No.3 Australian Casualty Clearing Station which took me four days to reach from Rouen. I spent one night at Abbeyville and the rest of the time in the trains. We changed trains several times and were held up on sidings frequently for hours at a time. All the trains were crowded with troops going up the line. I went by Ambulance from Amiens to Edgehill where the C.C.S. was stationed. There was some very heavy fighting going on in the line in front of us and crowds of wounded men came through the place during the following week. The hospital trains that carried the wounded away to the Base Hospitals used to draw into the siding just in front of us.

Raje leaves Delhi without meeting BJP top brass
June 27, 2015 15:11 IST

Embattled Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Saturday attended a NITI Aayog deliberation in the nation's capital but left without meeting either Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah.
Raje, who has been facing mounting opposition pressure to quit in connection with the 'Lalitgate', arrived around 9:30 am and left the city after spending close to four hours.
Party sources were tight-lipped on whether the Rajasthan CM had sought any appointment to meet either the PM or the party president.
On Friday night, after a meeting between Modi and Shah, party sources indicated that the top leadership of the party had accepted Raje's defence in the controversy.
On Friday, Rajasthan BJP refuted all the allegations being levelled at her, saying that the document which she signed in support of Modi's immigration application to the UK government was never produced in court as she had backed out of it later.
The state unit of the party also claimed that Modi's investment in the chain of hotels owned by her son was legal and had been disclosed to authorities.
Congress has been piling up pressure on BJP to sack Raje, accusing her of quid pro quo in helping the former IPL boss.
Raje has maintained silence over the raging row even though her office has termed the allegations "untrue", claiming that they were aimed at harming her politically. BJP for its part has said it "fully supports" her. The party has called her its tallest and most popular leader in the state, where she has led the party to its biggest assembly and Lok Sabha wins.
Raje was scheduled to visit London from June 27 to July 2 but cancelled the trip early this week in view of the NITI Aayog meet.

Park City, UT—Sarah Hendrickson of the U.S. Visa Women's Ski Jumping Team placed third in both the 12th and 13th World Cup competitions in Ljubno, Slovenia on February 14 and 15, 2015.
On Saturday, Hendrickson secured her podium finish by soaring 86.0 and 87.0 meters in her two jumps and scoring 237.1 points. Team-mate Nita Englund placed 12th, with jumps of 83.5 and 83.0 meters and 224.2 points. Tara Geraghty-Moats placed 17th on Saturday, flying 80.0 and 85.0 meters and scoring 215.2 points. Abby Hughes placed 20th. Sara Takanashi of Japan took first place with jumps of 88.0 and 90.0 meters and 248.5 points.
Hendrickson repeated her podium performance on Sunday, February 15, 2015, soaring 89.0 and 88.0 meters and scoring 243.8 points. Nita Englund improved her performance with a 10th place finish on Sunday, flying 86.0 and 84.5 meters and scoring 228.6 points. Tara Geraghty-Moats finished 23rd with jumps of 81.5 and 82.5 meters and 210.0 points. Daniela Iraschko-Stolz of Austria and Sara Takanashi tied for first place.
The athletes will travel next to Falun, Sweden for the World Championships. The women's competition will take place on February 20 and the mixed team competition will take place on February 22, 2015.


- Offensive line: Edge Vikings. I think the size of Minnesota line is appalling: 286, 271, 281, 292 and 301. Big tackles. The Bears have got that weakness at left tackle with Covert out. Can`t lose a guy like him.
- Receiver: Edge Vikings. The speed. Waddle`s not fast, and Carter & Carter are. I also like their third wide receiver, Hassan Jones.
- Running back: Edge Bears. I like Mr. Anderson and Mr. Muster, when they don`t try to run him outside.
- Quarterback: Edge Bears. Harbaugh-he`s had more playing time, more experience. And in the past, he hasn`t had to throw the ball as Gannon`s had to.
- Defensive line: Edge Bears. The Vikings miss Millard. A huge loss, like the Bears losing McMichael.
- Linebacker: Edge Bears. Because of Singletary and the depth of the linebackers.
- Secondary: Edge Vikings. The experience of Browner and Wright. I like their safeties better, though I like the Bears` corners better.
- Special teams: Edge Vikings. Neither team`s special teams is spectacular. They`re better on coverage than returning. Slight edge to Minnesota with the excellent punter (Harry Newsome).
