Maersk's Battle Against Illegal Trade: An Interview with Michael Jul Hansen
The shipping industry is the backbone of the global economy, responsible for transporting roughly 90 percent of all internationally traded goods each year. But it is also the key method of transport for criminal organizations looking to smuggle illegal goods around the globe.
Maersk, the largest container shipping company in the world, has battled against illegal trade of all kinds for over 100 years. STOP: ILLEGAL spoke with Michael Jul Hansen, Maersk's head of the sanctions list management team, to find out more about how a company that transports over 12 million containers of goods each year can effectively tackle the issue of illegal trade.
STOP: ILLEGAL: What does your role at Maersk involve?
Michael Jul Hansen: My main focus at Maersk is ensuring our cargo does not break any global trade sanctions. While the shipping industry is deeply affected by many different types of illegal trade, goods that break sanction rules are an incredibly costly issue for shipping companies, so it's very important we get this issue right.
Essentially, we need to make sure that we don't have any goods going between customers and vendors that may be on the sanctions list of the U.S., E.U., the U.N., or other trading bodies. But this can be challenging, as trade sanction lists can change very quickly. A company that was OK yesterday, or a country that was OK to ship to yesterday, may not be tomorrow. And since I'm often being told after that law has gone into effect, well, then I'm stuck with sometimes many, many containers that are now an issue that I have to deal with.
SI: How does Maersk stay ahead of this issue?
MJH: Over the past few years, Maersk has invested heavily in technology that helps us combat illegal trade. One great example is a tool that specializes in understanding sanction policies to better screen our transactions and trade routes. If you ever read E.U. legislation, you'll realize it's not very easy to understand—to put it mildly. But this tool translates legislative changes into something that a computer can understand. It then uses artificial intelligence to analyze certain trade links and cargo shipments, allowing you to set your own risk appetite and raise red flags where it sees the potential for sanctions infringement.
If you are shipping cigarettes from, say, Switzerland to Hong Kong, it is not an issue. But it becomes riskier when you are shipping cigarettes from China down to the Middle East, where it's being repacked and re-exported. We can still be held liable for where these cigarettes end up. I would be able to set that up in this system so that my team would see that they may need to take a closer look at the shipping documents. So, if the screening tool detects a shipment of tobacco going from China to Egypt or to the Middle East, then that's possibly a red flag.
SI: What forms of illegal trade is Maersk affected by?
MJH: The shipping industry is affected by a lot of different types of illegal and illicit trades. But one area that we are investing a lot of time and effort into is the illegal trade of wildlife. Maersk is currently working with a number of partners to stamp out smuggling of wildlife; Maersk is a signatory to 'United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce'.
Understanding how poachers and wildlife smugglers operate is the first key step. The modus operandi of many ivory smugglers is to declare their cargo as hardwood tiles. So, if we can see cargo going from Africa to East Asian countries like Vietnam and China, we will raise a red flag and look more into the background of the vendor and ideally examine the shipment itself. This is why it's important to collaborate with multiple organizations when trying to tackle illicit trade. We need as much experience and knowledge about different types of smuggled goods and the operating habits of criminal organizations from across the globe.
SI: How important is it to collaborate with other businesses and sectors when fighting against illegal trade?
MJH: Collaboration between the industries; the tobacco industry, the chemicals industry, pesticides, and so on, is absolutely key in fighting illegal trade.
One of the great initiatives we were involved in recently was the Declaration of Intent to Prevent the Maritime Transport of Counterfeit Goods. It brought together some of the leading businesses and customs agencies across the world to raise awareness about illegal trade and implement effective policy changes to tackle the issues at hand. While the initiative is no longer running, many of the original businesses involved also cooperate through a program called the Cross-Industry team. At Maersk, we have kept in close contact with many of the businesses and organizations involved. The greatest thing about it all is the level of knowledge sharing and the expertise you can gain from anti-illicit trade experts working in different industries.
SI: What are the key challenges in fighting against illegal trade?
MJH: I think communication and cooperation between shipping companies and customs officials is a definite challenge. In my career, I've worked with a lot of importers across Europe, and I've been in many different positions where I have had to interact with customs officers in a daily basis. Often, they don't want to disclose too much intelligence about how they find illicit cargo, in case that information falls to the wrong people. If the bad guys know how customs officers can identify illegal cargo, then they will simply find other ways of hiding it.
But this can limit our ability to stay one step ahead of the bad guys as well. Ideally, law enforcement would create a list of companies they know to be participating in illegal trade. I know that customs authorities have these lists, and they have these trends and things that they look for, and if only I could get a hold of that I could help them much, much earlier than I do when I send my documents to customs in the import country. But we have gotten smarter, and we will hopefully start getting more information from law enforcement on what we need to look for and how we cooperate.

Leonora Carrington – Britain's Lost Surrealist
Leonora Carrington's Portrait of Max Ernst
British writer and painter.
Born to a wealthy British family, Leonora Carrington spent some time in Florence as a teenager and studied painting at the atelier of Amédée Ozenfant. She became fascinated by the work of Max Ernst and later met the no less fascinating painter in person. The pair spent three passionate and creative years in France before being separated by the Second World War, following which L. Carrington entered a deep depression, which she documented in French some years later in En bas (Down Below, 1973). She managed to escape Europe and, after spending a little over a year in New York, finally settled in Mexico. There, she developed strong friendships with the painter Remedios Varo and the photographer Kati Horna, and with members of the Mexican intelligentsia, particularly Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes. But she truly found her roots by getting to know Native populations and, like Benjamin Péret, became interested in their stories and symbolic values. It was also in Mexico, at the age of 28, that she met her lifetime partner Emeric "Chiki" Weisz, gave birth to their children, and tirelessly and unrelentingly painted and exhibited a considerable body of work. The stories and longer fantasy tales she wrote, first in French then in Spanish, drew their inventiveness from the intervals between the two languages. From her Maison de la peur (The House of Fear, 1938), illustrated by Max Ernst, to her later stories from the 1950s and '60s, her works were first published in French or translated into French by Henri Parisot, before being reworked and published in their English versions. These writings, manipulated and reworked both by others – translators – and herself, have a very special status.
Her painted and sculpted works, represented by two pieces at the 1938 International Surrealist Exhibition, were completely in line with the tradition of oneiric realism. Their pictorial quality is refined, their imagery complex, and words are prominently featured in the symbolism that pervades many of her pictures. Her explorations, as much in her stories as in her visual work, are based on the unease caused by the threat to individual liberty. How does one ward off the discord within one's bodily ego, since the relationship between its parts and sum is problematic, and since the process of embodiment is not clearly embraced? Food – the way it is ingested, the way it is cooked – became a central topic for L. Carrington. In her painting Hunting Breakfast (1956), a cabbage becomes a caballo [horse], an image endowed with an identity; in Orplied (1955), the artist depicts a joyous cohort led by a white winged horse, like the image of an idealised ego. This era of myths came with its corresponding large cosmological canvases: in Le Retour de la Grande Ourse [Return of the Ursa Major, 1966] or Round Dance (1968), movement symbolises the return of a warrior female order, as in Celtic myths, or of a perfection of movement. Her mural El mundo mágico de los Mayas [The Magical World of the Mayas, 1963-1964] captures mythology's powerful ability to organise time and space. L. Carrington believed in the transcendence of dreams. Her aim was to internalise, or better yet, to ingest, the wisdom that they embody.

Best holiday you've ever had: My honeymoon; who wouldn't love Las Vegas, San Francisco and Cancun on the same 3 week trip?
Thanks to Chris for the effortlessly efficient armchair booking of our holiday to Almond Beach Barbados!
I just wanted to say thank you for organising our fabulous holiday to Palm Island and St. Vincent! We witnessed baby turtles being hatched and helped put them in the sea, saw dolphins in the wild, and felt very lucky and special.

Let Joe's Cleaners provide expertly laundered shirts on hangers, folded, or boxed. You my specify any amount of starch preferred, from none to extra heavy.
We also launder tuxedo shirts with careful attention to detail. Royal Cleaners can also assist you with your general laundry needs such as linens and casual clothing.
Will My Shirts Shrink When You Clean Them?
Most dress shirts are difficult to shrink. The manufacturer has already allowed for the normal two percent and progressive shrinkage requirements.
This shrinkage is usually not enough to cause a complaint. Shrinkage beyond this is usually due to poorly stabilized materials.
Shrinkage complaints can easily be resolved by measuring the collar and sleeve length. Measure the collar from the end of the buttonhole to the center of the button.
Measure the sleeve length in a straight line from the center of the back of the collar at the seam to the end of the cuff. If these measurements correspond to the shirt size, it has not shrunk.
My Buttons are Cracked! Buttons may crack during pressing even though the press padding is in excellent condition and the procedures used are correct.
The reason for this is that there is an inherent problem in the button or the way the button was applied to the shirt. The majority of shirt buttons are made from a polyester resin.
The strength of the button depends on the amount of polyester in the resin; some imported buttons contain less polyester.

Robbie McIntosh
'There's Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Robbie McIntosh.' – Chris Rea
'The guitarist's guitarist.' – Q Magazine
On 8 June 2018 British guitar legend Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Tom Jones) will release his debut solo album on a major label created to celebrate the everlasting genius of Chet Atkins and his finger picking guitar playing style. The 12-track album entitled 'Thanks Chet' also coincides with the 60th anniversary of the Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar (named after Chet's landmark song of the same name) and is a tribute to the sound that revolutionised rock 'n' roll as we know it.
Chet Atkins and his trademark Country Gentleman guitar bridged the gap between country, pop and rhythm & blues and without him there would have been no Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones; no Led Zeppelin, The Band or REM; no Smiths; no Kings of Leon; maybe not even an Ed Sheeran.
A pivotal figure in the history of rock, Chet inspired millions of players the world over, among them superstars such as George Harrison, Duane Eddy, Hank Marvin, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler, Johnny Marr – in fact, almost anyone who ever picked up a guitar owes a debt to Chet.
"He was the first guitar hero of modern music," says Robbie. 'Chet played finger picking style but with incredible precision and because he was also a great drummer and bassist his guitar was like a band on its own – a real six string orchestra."
Robbie McIntosh has recorded and played with some of the biggest names in popular music including Norah Jones, John Mayer, Sir Tom Jones, Mark Knopfler, Talk Talk, Keith Richards, Chuck Berry, Roger Daltrey and Cher, but 'Thanks Chet' brings his love of the guitar full circle – right back to where it started with his uncle's copy of Chet Atkins' 1964 album 'Progressive Pickin'' with its cover shot of Atkins and his trademark Country Gent.
The fully instrumental album features Robbie playing his own Country Gentleman creating new versions of classics like The Kinks' You Really Got Me, The Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive, Bonnie Raitt's beautiful I Can't Make You Love Me, Kylie's I Can't Get You Out of My Head and Danny Kaye's version of The Ugly Duckling. Robbie McIntosh has also re-recorded The Pretenders' worldwide smash Don't Get Me Wrong a track that originally featured Robbie playing his Country Gentleman guitar.
The title track Thanks Chet is an original piece created by Robbie as an instrumental interlude that he brought to Paul McCartney's 1993 world tour and originally titled Robbie's Bit (Thanks Chet). The album also features another Robbie McIntosh original composition entitled 'County Gent'. The track kicks off the album and was written and recorded to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Gretsch Country Gentleman.
"There was one moment in the tour when the set had to change and Paul suggested I go out and play a little instrumental piece for a couple of minutes and I had this tune. It's really a little nod to Chet who was the first guitarist I heard that made me go: 'That's what I want to do!'," explains Robbie.
"I was born in 1957," says Robbie, "the same year the Chet endorsed Gretsch Country Gentleman made its debut, so to be able to make an instrumental record that celebrates two things that have been such a big part of my life is a real pleasure. It was an inspiration to me, the sweet sound he used to get. It takes years to play like Chet Atkins – I still haven't mastered it – but this is my nod to him."
This autumn Robbie will be playing live in An Evening with Robbie McIntosh to give fans the chance to see and hear one of the finest guitarists of his, or any, generation playing the music he loves.

Your View: We don't need Trump's Gettysburg address. We need a Pennsylvanian in the White House
By Michael Amato

President Trump stated that he may give his nomination acceptance speech from Gettysburg, a location under consideration due to Pennsylvania's political importance in the upcoming election.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has suggested that the speech may focus on themes of unity, but given Trump's praise of Robert E. Lee, the Confederate Army general who led the attack on Gettysburg, one wonders if Trump simply has a different understanding of the term unity.
From both a domestic and foreign policy perspective, Trump's brand of unity has been a disaster for the country. On the domestic front, he has spent the vast majority of his time in office attempting to keep his base unified by fanning the flames of division across the country. Every time he had the opportunity to choose unity, the president has divided us.
Michael Amato (CONTRIBUTED PHOTO)
In 2017, a mere two days after the death of a young woman protesting against a massive white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump, in his unifying way said, "I think there is blame on both sides." Since then, he has tear-gassed peaceful protesters in the nation's capital and deployed unidentified federal agents into U.S. cities to attack and arrest Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.
He has called the Black Lives Matter movement a hate group. He regularly calls the free press an enemy of the state and has even tried to use the pandemic as a political wedge, calling his administration's poor response to the coronavirus "Democrats' new hoax."
This is not an accident and it certainly isn't unity. It's a deliberate campaign strategy designed to turn Americans against Americans in the hope that our fear of each other will unify enough of us to grant him a second term.
Opinion: Pete Buttigieg would not have been first gay president. Pa's James Buchanan has that title. »
The only unifying theme of Trump's presidency is that he sees political opportunity in division and fear.
Meanwhile, as the president seeks to create division here at home, he has executed a foreign policy that has unified the world against us, isolating the United States and making Americans less safe.
After serving in national security positions in the executive branch and working in Congress, I've seen unifying leadership. This isn't it.
By nearly every measure, the global credibility and influence of the United States have diminished on his watch.
He has belittled our allies and partners, making them less likely to come to our aid when we need them. He has launched ill-advised trade wars that hurt the middle class. He has emboldened our adversaries, coddled dictators, even saying it was a great honor to meet with a man who threatened to reduce the United States "to seas in flames and ashes in a moment."
Trump has refused to confront Russia for meddling in the 2016 election. When given the opportunity to confront Putin for putting a bounty on the heads of our soldiers, Trump didn't even bring it up. He has even welcomed Chinese intervention in the 2020 elections. His foreign policy has allowed our adversaries to thrive while fraying historical alliances that have helped keep us safe.
By considering Pennsylvania as the location for his nomination acceptance speech, Trump has made it clear that he sees the Keystone State as key to his reelection bid. As Pennsylvanians, we need to make it clear to him that one term was more than enough. We must make it clear that we will no longer allow disarray and division to occupy the White House when what the country needs most are unity and principled leadership.
Pennsylvanians now have an opportunity to choose one of our own — former Vice President Joe Biden — to be the next leader of this country. And the contrast could not be clearer.
A Biden Administration embodies Pennsylvanian values — hard work, respect for others, empathy, and unity. We need a leader in the White House who will defend our values, not attack our right to free speech, and incite hatred.
We need a Pennsylvanian in the White House.

Being in the kitchen is one of my favorite things, and I owe that to my mom and grandma who taught me how to cook. During the fall, I am in the kitchen more it seems like- baking treats for the farmers, and making sure that Brandon has a meal to heat up when he is done for the day. One of my go-to meals is a Chicken and Rice Casserole that my mom passed down to me. It is the perfect meal for a busy day, and has quickly become a staple in our home.
The prep is minimal, especially with Uncle Ben's Ready Rice! You can even throw it together in the morning, put it in the fridge, and bake it later in the day. One pot meals are definitely a plus in this house.
Open the Uncle Ben's Ready Rice and place it in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Spoon the cream of chicken soup on the top of the chicken breasts.

Did you notice my helper? Kenley is always wanting to be in the kitchen with me. I remember being in the kitchen a lot with my mom, so I let Kenley help any chance I get. The best part about this recipe is that it's easy enough for her to help me with. I will say that if it's not cookies, she tends to bail pretty early on.

Ends Theatre Works Season with laughter
Photos by: Kevin Berne
REBECCA DINES L and SARAH OVERMAN whopping it up
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - Under the direction of Theatre Works Artistic Director, ROBERT KELLY, "FALLEN ANGELS," which is being presented at the Mountain View Center For The Performing Arts until June 28th, is funnier than the original play.
The light comedy, which may be described as a "Comedy of Manners," was written by English composer, lyricist, actor, intriguing controversial novelist and playwright NOËL COWARD, when he was 24 years old. As other of his plays, ANGELS is a satire of romance that exposes the English society's hypocrisy (at that time) towards morality, and the role of women toward sex.
When the play was premiered, its subject, two upper class British women talking openly with each other about their sexual inhibitions and affairs, prior to their marriages, on the stage, was shocking to the audience. For today's standards, when drinking and smoking is consider acceptable for women, and sex a common subject of conversation for even young girls, "FALLEN ANGELS" may not have the same "impact" in the audience as it did when it was first presented in London at the Globe theatre (now called the Guielgud Theatre) in l925, but it still makes the audience laugh.
Because even when ANGELS is one of COWARD's early works, the play already demonstrates his wit, flamboyance and personal style and his characters are hilarious. They are: Fred Sterroll, his wife Julia and their maid Sounders, and two of their friends: Willy Banbury and his wife Jane. And to play havoc on the couples marital bliss, Maurice.
MARK ANDERSON PHILLIPS and SARAH OBERMAN as the Sterrolls
The action opens in the Fall of l927 in the Dining-drawing room of the Sterrolls' flat in London, with Fred ( MARK ANDERSON PHILLIPS) getting ready to leave the house to go to play golf with his friend Willy (CASSIDY BROWN) as his wife Julia, (SARAH OVERMAN) talks with him about another couple who are getting a divorce and tells him that with him gone for the night, to avoid getting bored, she will probably go out with Jane (REBECCA DINES) for lunch and then to a movie matinee .
Willy (BROWN) arrives at the house, and the men (pictured left) leave on their trip. All alone, Julia sits at the piano and start playing the French love song That Maurice, (ALDO BILLINGSLEA) her former lover when she was still single, sang to her six years ago when they met in Pizza, Italy. When Saunders (TORY ROSS) her maid, who is cleaning the breakfast table, as she sings, hears her playing, she tells her that one of the notes ought to be a sharp not a natural. When Julia corrects the note, the melody sounds right. When she stares at her new maid surprised, Saunders informs her that the reason she knows music is that she was raised by nuns, who taught her to play the piano. During the play, we become aware that Saunders (ROSS) is well educated and be perfect in mixing drinks because she worked as bartender. She even speaks French much better than her Mistress and her Mistress friend.
When Jane (DINES) arrives to Julia's house with the news that Maurice Duclos, is in London as is coming to visit Julia this afternoon, starts the action. Six years ago, in Italy, Maurice had an affair with both friends when both were single. Apparently, both still have strong feelings about him, so convinced that neither one of them can face him, their first plan is lo leave the house. But the truth is than both are still infatuated with Maurice, and both want to see him so at the end they decide to wait for him.
The body of the play is their waiting and their conjectures of what would happen when they see Maurice after all these years. Will he still be handsome? Will they still fill passionate at his mere sight? And worse yet, how will Maurice react when they tell him that both women are now married?
So the waiting begins, and because there is a storm, the waiting continues, for two acts. And as they wait, for a phone call or the ringing of the door bell, both women starts talking about their marriages without passion, their affair with Maurice, and many other things. When it get late, both start eating dinner and drinking champagne, until both get drunk and jealous of each other start fighting.
Julia looks uneasy as Jane collapses when Maurice holds her hand
By the time Maurice finally arrives, to Julia's house, many things have happened to the characters, and being drunk, to despite each other, each woman had revealed the affair with Maurice to the other woman's husband. The two husbands are appalled. It is a critical situation, but it gets a comical twist, with the French wit of Maurice.
The acting of all the actors playing the characters in this play, is realistic, difficult to do in a comedy, and the extra dialogue added to Saunders (ROSS) who in this version of the play, demonstrates to her mistress that she knows it all and knows it better, is very funny. FALLEN ANGELS was a good selection to end the season.
"FALLEN ANGELS" will play at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts until June 28. For tickets call 650-463-1950 or order them online at box office@theatreworks.org


'Always predict disaster', a shrewd academic economist told me some years ago. 'If it happens, you are proved right. And if it doesn't, then catastrophe was avoided by people heeding your wise and timely advice!' Dystopia is, as least for those foreseeing it, a win-win game.
David Shambaugh is a seasoned China expert, and even he admits in his recent essay for the Wall Street Journal that predictions of demise in China have often been made. He refers to the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, which caused many to lose faith in the system, saying it would ignominiously collapse as other communist countries did that year and the next. The pessimists were proven wrong. From 1992, China entered a second phase of economic liberalisation, though only under firm unified political control.
Shambaugh knows that the Chinese Communist Party looked long and hard at the reasons behind the collapse of the USSR. He wrote a book about it in 2008. His view then was that the Party could adapt and transform. Evidently he has changed his mind.
The five reasons he gives for China's imminent political revolution have been exhaustively discussed over the years.
His first refers to capital flight, with officials or members of the elite trying to set themselves up inside and outside China. But this started in the 1980s, almost from the moment some Chinese started to get wealthy. And the political elite were always up to it. Deng Xiaoping's son studied in the US. Hu Jintao's daughter lived there for a while. Non-convertibility of the Chinese currency means movement of their assets is more 'visible' as it goes out of China. Unlike the nomadic super elites elsewhere who can hide the shifts of their capital and assets around the globe easily, Chinese can't. But this doesn't portend impending Armageddon because of a collapse of confidence in the political system. It just means people in China are richer and more of them can do these things now.
Shambaugh is probably right in saying that Xi Jinping and his hardline war on corruption has made some enemies. But in fact, Xi is using this campaign to edge China towards pragmatic structural changes along the same lines Shambaugh indicates would create better governance in China. He is making officials more accountable and, for all the fear it has created in the administration, the campaign has been popular on the street.
Among the property owning, investment seeking middle class of urban China who will be the warriors that create the country's service-orientated future, the anti-corruption campaign is welcome. For them, the language of stronger property rights and more financial stability in banks and investment vehicles, at least as it is laid out in the Fourth Plenum held last year, is appealing. These are the people Xi and his colleagues have to keep on side, not fat cats in the Party creaming off vast illicit profits for their networks in the state enterprise system.
Similarly, the best way for China to avoid regime collapse is to prepare for it. The government seems to be permanently in crisis mode. The ugly crackdown on dissidents and activists (including five female ones earlier this month on International Women's Day), as Shambaughrightly says, shows a lack of political imagination. It is almost as if the government is picking on the same old list of easy victims and soft targets. Bashing up dissidents and activists should be stopped. They are the wrong targets.
But Xi, to his credit, has also struck against one of the most unpleasant members of the old elite generation, Zhou Yongkang. This was not an arbitrary strike. There was political logic to it. So far, for all its sprawling, messy character, the anti-corruption campaign does make sense.
Finally there is the biggest question, and one that hovers over much of Shambaugh's article. Beyond shrill nationalism, what precisely does the Chinese Communist Party offer as a belief system and national vision to its people and the world in the 21st century? We know what it doesn't want; some of these things are spelt out in documents like the No. 9 edict Shambaugh refers to from 2013. But beyond national rejuvenation and addressing historic resentments, what is the great China vision which the country and the world can buy into in the coming decades?
If the Party can capture the emotional life and convictions of the Chinese people, then anything is possible. But its message at the moment is one where idealism is mixed with fear and coercion. There needs to be an historic reset, something like a renegotiation of the social contract between the Chinese people and their government. I am not as pessimistic as Shambaugh about the outcomes of this, but I do agree something needs to be done.
The fundamental problem is that this intensely internal issue will have immense implications for the stability and prosperity of the world – and yet the best that foreigners are likely to manage is a bystander seat.

The Kundali or Jatakam is the planetary position at the time of birth. In case of prasna kundali, it is the planetary position at the time of asking a question to an astrologer or the querry is made. Whenever a child is born the family gets janampatri (Jatakam, or Kundali) done for the new born. This practice is followed from ages in a hindu family. This jatakam or kundali is based on hindu vedic astrology. This is also known as a traditional astrology in India. If you have a janampatri prepared by your family priest 99% chances its made using vedic astrology. If you are looking to prepare Jaatakam, Kundali, or Janampatri of someone then you want to click on this option.
Ancient Hindu literature Ancient Hindu literature is full of mythology related to zodiac signs, constellations (also known as Nakshatras) and planets, which explain a lot of astrological rules. However the popular opinion is that the mythology was just a method that our ancient seers used to explain some very complex physical laws, which were beyond the comprehension of common people. Unfortunately even today's modern science has not been able to fully understand those physical laws behind this ancient method although it's getting there very fast. Our current understanding of the science of astrology lies in statistics and probability. Statistics is the branch of mathematics, which can deal with correlation between two or more seemingly independent events without knowing the cause of that correlation. If in a chart of 1000 people have the same astrological chart then it can be seen that certain astrological rules hold true in 70%-80% of them. In statistical terms we may say that the occurrence of a specific event in one's life when certain planetary combination exists is "statistically significant". Let's say that you flip a coin 1000 times then the probability of "heads" is always near 50%. Now let's say that you observe the results of flipping a coin during the sun set and sun rise. If you find, after an year long test, that probability of "heads " coming up during sunrise is not actually 50%, as expected, but its 70%, then you can actually construct a rule that if you flip a coin during sun rise, the chances of you getting a "heads" will always be more.Kundali Milan (Horoscope Matching) is a unique and ancient 8-fold Vedic test of horoscope matching between a man and woman's charts for marriage. The Natal Charts of the man and the woman are drawn and comparatively tested for compatibility in eight different ways. Each test has a score. While the maximum points that can be achieved under each test are different, the full 8-fold test can yield a maximum score of 36 points which judges how compatible you two are by seeing the zodiac signs and horoscopes . A score of 16 is deemed to be the minimum for a reasonable match. Marriages are not recommended for a result below 18 2. Another very important aspect of Marriage Compatibility is Manglik Match (Mars Consideration). Which is very important for success of married life and well being of both male and Female partner.
Yantra means "Instrument or Machine", which is used for various purposes such as to diminish the illeffects of the nine planets, to attain good health and prosperity,Love,for career advancement, achieve desired goals in projects,remove obstacles and protection from negative forces.!


LAS VEGAS – The National Finals Rodeo arena set up inside the Thomas & Mack Center is roughly the size of a hockey rink, so things get fast in a hurry in Sin City.
Nobody understands that any more than Kyle Irwin, a four-time NFR qualifier from Robertsdale, Alabama. He's seen the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with ProRodeo's grand championship; that's why starting the 10-day finale on a good note was important.


Its very comforting to feel you moving around down there happily this morning. I think your dad appreciated it too – he woke up and could feel you against his back. And your hiccups were so strong he got to feel those too. We were both happy to feel you being normal. And I'm glad to say that your awake hours are actually currently in-line with mine – you wake up at about 6:30am, then play around for an hour or more; then you sleep, though sometimes you have a little play until about 9am or so. You sometimes wake during the middle of the day, but definitely around 3pm is a big time for you to reawaken and do some fairly vigorous exercise. Then around 6pm you seem to go a bit crazy – I suspect its when I haven't had dinner yet and you're trying to tell me your blood sugar has dropped too low. Then its all downhill for me as I am generally exhausted and very ready for bed. You often are still awake and there is some movement but you chill out when I go to bed and seem to sleep through the night. You were waking me up before when this wasn't happening. So thanks. My sleep has been better.
I think I overdid it on the weekend and yesterday – I had a bit of a meltdown last night and something like a panic attack after I went to bed. I just couldn't seem to get enough breath and was sobbing uncontrollably. I couldn't think straight and couldn't work out what was wrong or why I was upset or what was going on or whether I could really breathe or not. It wasn't very fun and I freaked both myself and your dad out. Eventually I got over it and managed to settle back down and go to sleep. I am putting it down to Week 32 pregnancy hormones. Our midwife in the antenatal classes was suggesting we all have a good cry in the shower. And there are a bunch of women on the baby forum this week who all seem to be crying a lot. So I'm guessing its a common thing and I'm just following the normal pregnant and crazy pattern.
Anyway, this is why we were both happy to feel you scrimmaging around like normal this morning.

(Actually, the real difference in heating is nearly surely negligible, but I from time to time Assume in these terms when I am setting up.) So, as soon as I had the basic elements in hand, the development starts: Picture one reveals The essential Igloo five gallon drink cooler/dispenser, the hole noticed (3 1/2&#8221) along with the disposal flange parts. Image two reveals The underside on the cooler, Together with the disposal flange parts and the opening noticed within the higher appropriate corner of the image. Image 3 demonstrates the cooler wanting to be drilled And movie four shows the hole drilled in The bottom with the cooler Images five-ten demonstrate the assembly with the flange to your cooler. Placing the disposal sink flange into your cooler turned out to be a bit of a obstacle. The manufacturer was certainly wondering with regards to mounting the flange on a sink that was no more than 1/four inch thick. In spite of this, they were being extremely generous within the depth on the flange they presented, but almost not generous ample. The underside in the cooler is around an inch thick, so the base has to be compressed somewhat to have the flange to fit thoroughly. To this stop, I built a Flange tool (for want of a far better description) to compress the cooler foam Main though putting in the disposal flange. The Resource is designed up of two pieces of nominally 3/four" Wooden. The scaled-down piece could be drilled out of a bit of Wooden With all the similar drill utilized to drill out the bottom in the cooler. The larger sized circle must be 3/four" to one" more substantial in diameter (truly, I employed a four&#8221 hole observed for that greater piece). It has got to seat to the flange, but not increase outside of the flange edges. The two Wooden disks are screwed alongside one another in the centers so they don't shift. Bolt gap place are on a diameter, established as wide apart as is possible without acquiring the bolts hit the internal diameter of the flange. 3/8″ carriage bolts were being applied. This reveals the Flange Instrument set during the disposal flange. The flange is ready with plumber's putty.
