India is a most diverse nation in the world. In area it is the seventh largest country in the world having most populous democracy in the world. India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 29 states and 7 union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and a multi-ethnic society.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and holds a strong position on the world map. India is a home to almost a sixth of the global population. India's demographics are very attractive with approximately 65% of the total population falling in the age group of 15 to 64 years. The country's GDP has been growing at an average rate of 7.6% since 2004. It is today emerged as a key destination for foreign investors and has rich natural resources and strong macroeconomic fundamentals. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as of 2013, the Indian economy is nominally worth US$1.842 trillion; it is the eleventh-largest economy by market exchange rates, and is, at US$4.962 trillion, the third-largest by purchasing power parity. During the next four decades, Indian GDP is expected to grow at an annualised average of 8%, making it potentially the world's fastest-growing major economy until 2050.
Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare, and terrorism. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks eighth in military expenditure among nations.
By 2020, India would be the world's third largest middle class market behind China and USA and likely to exceed both countries with an aggregated consumer spend of nearly US $13 trillion.

A foreign investor planning to set up business operations in India has the options of entering as an INDIAN COMPANY OR an INDIAN LLP OR as a FOREIGN COMPANY.
Foreign equity in such Indian companies can be up to 100% depending on the requirements of the investor, subject to equity caps in respect of the area of activities under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy.
Joint Venture with an Indian Partner, Foreign Companies can set up their operations in India by forging strategic alliances with Indian partners.

Treated as Indian company for all applicable laws and income tax purposes.
Taxed at lower rate of 30 % as compared to a foreign company which is taxed at 40%.
Determination of Designated Partner: The LLP regulations provide that at least one designated partner shall be person resident in India.
Body Corporate as Designated Partner: In case of LLP having Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and a body corporate is a designated partner, than the body corporate should only be a company registered under the Indian Companies Act and not any other body, such as an LLP or a trust.
Compliance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy: The designated partners will be responsible for compliance with the above conditions and liable for all penalties imposed on the LLP for their contravention.
Conversion into LLP: Any conversion of a company with FDI into an LLP will be allowed only if the company is engaged in sectors/activities where 100% FDI is allowed, through the automatic route and there are no FDI-linked performance related conditions and prior approval of FIPB/Government is obtained.
Foreign Companies are allowed to set up Branch Offices in India. Permission for setting up branch offices is granted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Branch Office on "Stand Alone Basis"
Such Branch Offices are isolated and restricted to the Special Economic zone (SEZ) alone and no business activity/transaction will be allowed outside the SEZs in India, which include branches/subsidiaries of its parent office in India.
No approval shall be necessary from RBI for a company to establish a branch/unit in SEZs to undertake manufacturing and service activities subject to specified conditions.
Foreign Companies planning to execute specific projects in India can set up temporary project/site offices in India. RBI has now granted general permission to foreign entities to establish Project Offices subject to specified conditions.
Such offices can not undertake or carry on any activity other than the activity relating and incidental to execution of the project. Project Offices may remit outside India the surplus of the project on its completion, general permission for which has been granted by the RBI.
Like a branch office, a project office is also treated as an extention of foreign company and taxed at a higher rate applicable to foreign company.
FDI under automatic route is now allowed in mostly all sectors, including the services sector, except a few sectors where the existing and notified sect oral policy does not permit FDI beyond a ceiling.
No prior approval is required for FDI under the Automatic Route, only information to be send to RBI.
Government Approvals might be required in certain cases involving foreign direct investments.
Every type of entity has its advantages, limitation and disadvantages. Do get back to us to know which entry vehicle entity would be most suitable to your entry strategy and business.

Equal Power Lasting Peace
Link: http://www.equalpowerlastingpeace.org/resource/equal-power-lasting-peace-2012/
Violence, corruption and unequal laws are some of the obstacles that keep women in conflict-torn regions from participating in peace processes on equal terms with men. Another big part of the problem is the international community prioritizing men in senior positions in peace operations, according to the new report Equal Power – Lasting Peace by the Swedish women and peace organization The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation.
The report Equal Power – Lasting Peace is based on field studies conducted in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, the DR Congo and Liberia. Although the countries and conflicts differ, the patterns are strikingly similar.
In all the regions women and women's organizations play important roles in resolving conflicts in local communities and in managing everyday life.
But when it comes to formal decision fora the doors are closed for women. This is contrary to the statements of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which emphasizes that, in order for reaching a sustainable peace, women must participate on the same terms as men in all parts of peace processes.
The exclusion of women is present both in international missions and in negotiating teams at national level. Equal Power – Lasting Peace shows that very little has changed for the better, despite the fact that twelve years have passed since Resolution 1325 was adopted.
Lessons from Iraq: Building an Inclusive Armed Forces and Engaging Informal Actors
Interview with Walter Slocombe, Senior Advisor for Security and Defence to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad (2003). Mr Slocombe is also a former US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.
Police corruption is a universal challenge in peacebuilding. It wastes resources, undermines security and justice, slows economic development, and alienates citizens from their governments. Some experts argue that efforts to curb police corruption are hopeless, or at best secondary. Others maintain that attacking oppressive, unfair abuses is where reform efforts must start. On November 16, 2011, USIP hosted a panel of distinguished experts who discussed the root causes of and potential remedies for police corruption. This public event introduced a new USIP Special Report entitled "Police Corruption: What Past Scandals Teach about Current Challenges."

Iraq: Can Good Governance Erode Support for Militants?
United States Institute of Peace (USIP) hosted a discussion on January 6, 2016 highlighting new research by the global humanitarian and development organization Mercy Corps on the connection between citizens' perceptions of governance and public support for armed opposition.Extremist groups like ISIS have seized control in swaths of Iraq and Syria in part because they tout themselves as an alternative to corrupt and inept government at all levels.

Policy and Research Papers
Fixing Iraq's Internal Security Forces: Why is reform of the Ministry of Interior so hard?
This paper examines the charge laid out in the US Marine Corps General Jim Jones report, explains why institution building and reform at the MOI have proved so difficult, and notes flaws in the international capacity building effort that need to be addressed. The central argument is that Iraq's political dynamics, combined with the unprecedented burdens being placed upon the MOI, will continue to make institutional development and reform terribly difficult. However, assessments such as the Jones report ignore the fact that the ministry is more functional than it may at first appear. Furthermore, there are signs of incipient, MOI-led reforms; these provide hopeful pointers. In order to take advantage of these incipient reforms, the international assistance effort needs to significantly raise its game. If this can be achieved, then, gradually and painfully, the ministry could become a more positive force in Iraqi society. However, even if technical institutional reforms are successful, it will be important to understand that the ministry will reflect Iraq's political make-up; it cannot stand above national politics.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) for Development in Peace-Precarious Situations
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) supports evidence-based decision-making in program management through rigorous approaches to collecting and using quality data on program performance, results, and impact. The application of appropriate analytical tools in order to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of interventions in well-defined contexts over time contributes to our knowledge of the kinds of interventions that work best, and under which conditions. This paper focuses on the value of utilizing M&E information systems to improve both program impact and our understanding of how best to assist peaceful development in situations prone to violent conflict. Project M&E examples illustrate M&E strategies and tactics in peace-precarious situations, framing discussion of the utility of key M&E practices and approaches where stability and security are lacking. The final section suggests initial criteria for enhancing effective and cost-effective M&E that contributes more meaningfully to the success of development interventions in peace-precarious situations; the most critical of these is building flexible M&E systems that can respond appropriately to continue providing useful information under extreme uncertainty.

Security Sector Evolution: Understanding and influencing how security institutions change
The aim of this paper is to make a contribution to the under-theorised field of Security Sector Reform (SSR) studies (Egnell and Halden, 2009) and to support better design, implementation and review of SSR programmes. We borrow, from economics and strategic management, some perspectives on institutional change and we consider the implications of these insights for approaches to SSR.
Planning Ahead for a Postconflict Syria: Lessons from Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen
Though the conflict in Syria shows no signs of abating, and hopes for the Geneva II talks in January are dim, this paper argues it is never too early to start planning for peace. The paper examines three recent post-conflict transitions in the Middle East—Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen—and draws lessons for Syria. Among them are the following:
Drawing from the US experience in Iraq, Bennett argues that while elements of the current regime in Syria may need to go, the state must remain strong to promote stability and encourage post-conflict economic growth.
Drawing lessons from the Taif Agreement in Lebanon, Bennett argues that Syrians must avoid official sectarianism and focus on establishing a cohesive national identity.
Drawing from the role of the GCC in the Yemen transition, Bennett argues that regional cooperation, especially on the issue of Syrian refugees, will be critical to ensuring long term security and stability in the Middle East.
L'Etat islamique, AN 1
Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou, professeur associé à l'Institut d'Hautes Etudes Internationales et du Développement (IHEID) et directeur adjoint du Centre politique de sécurité de Genève (GCSP), livre son analyse de l'année qui s'est écoulée depuis que le porte-parole de l'Etat islamique en Irak et au Levant annonçait que son organisation devenait "l'Etat islamique" en juin 2014. En outre, l'auteur tire trois enseignements des développements depuis les évènements de l'été dernier: la constante progression de l'Etat islamique, l'absence criante pour l'heure d'une stratégie régionale ou internationale conséquente pour faire face au groupe et la nature révolutionnaire des changements en cours au Levant.

Violent Non-State Actors and Complementary Governance: What ISIS, Hizballah and FARC have in Common
In the absence of a strong state, insurgents, traffickers or tribal warlords may provide political and socioeconomic goods through arrangements we characterize as "complementary governance". When formulating an effective response to this security challenge, policymakers and researchers must account for the complex connections and interactions between multiple non-state governing entities.

Iraq between Popular Momentum and Frozen Reforms
Since the end of July 2015 a major popular uprising has erupted in Iraq's provinces – aside from the territories under the control of the so-called Islamic State (IS) and the Kurdish provinces. This protest movement, deemed to be the largest secular popular movement challenging the post-2003 political order in Iraq, has largely departed from the narrow sectarian paradigm that has so far monopolised the analysis of Iraqi politics. Written by Chérine Chams El-Dine and published by the Arab Reform Initiative, this paper examines the uprising's actors, its slogans, its internal dynamics/organisational structure, and the Iraqi government's frenetic response to popular demands.

Warring Brothers: Power Struggle and the Fate of Reforms in Iraq
The multilayered negotiations among Iraqi political forces to form a new cabinet, and the paralysis of state institutions, conceal the multifaceted power struggle between the various Iraqi political blocs and in particular within the Shiite bloc. The Arab Reform Initiative identifies three main protagonists: those trying to dominate the political scene, those fearing marginalisation and thus adopting a defensive position, and those strengthening their position as key actors. Only the pressure from external powers (the U.S. and Iran) and the harsh conditions of international monetary institutions can push the warring political blocs to reach an agreement over the cabinet overhaul and overcome the current impasse. However, reducing reforms to a meager cabinet reshuffle is far from satisfying popular demands and could provide only an ad-hoc way out of the ongoing crisis. Moreover, the Iraqi government's violent reaction toward the second Green Zone breach does not bode well for the coming period. The tone is set: there is no longer room for popular grievances. The liberation of Iraqi territories under the control of the Islamic State seems to be the top priority of the Iraqi prime minister and the foreign/regional powers supporting him.

Women, Peace and Security in Iraq
Iraq's National Action Plan (INAP) to implement the Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security was launched in 2014. This policy report on INAP is written by Dr Zeynep N. Kaya from the LSE Middle East Centre and the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security.
The author argues that the Resolution 1325 is relevant for women in Iraq, and that the launch of the INAP to implement it is an important step for Iraqi women. The report then offers an overview of the issues women face in Iraq and provides an assessment of INAP, stressing that specific issues related to conflict and insecurity in Iraq are not adequately addressed. Finally, it offers recommendations to policymakers, international organisations and civil society organisations for the effective implementation of 1325.

Untangling the Web: A Blueprint for Reforming American Security Sector Assistance
The United States transformed its approach to national security after the attacks on September 11, 2001. As terrorist organizations spread across the globe, so too did the U.S security presence. Now, after more than a decade and a half of costly war, the United States has turned to foreign militaries and police to fight threats before they reach America's borders.

The Limits of Punishment: Transitional Justice and Violent Extremism
The Limits of Punishment is a research project led by the United Nations University's Centre for Policy Research, in partnership with the Institute for Integrated Transitions, and supported by the UK Department for International Development. It seeks to understand if, when and how transitional justice, in combination with other conflict resolution tools, can contribute to transitions away from conflict in settings affected by major jihadist groups. Specifically, it aims to answer two questions:
What are the effects of current approaches toward punishment and leniency for individuals accused of association with jihadist groups in fragile and conflict-affected states?
What factors should policymakers consider in designing alternative and complementary strategies leveraging transitional justice tools to better contribute to sustainable transitions away from conflict?

Irak : la quête d'unité nationale s'annonce difficile pour le nouveau gouvernement
L'élection de Barham Saleh à la présidence irakienne et d'Adel Abdel Mahdi au poste de Premier ministre a finalement permis de sortir de l'impasse dans laquelle le pays se trouvait depuis que les élections législatives de mai avaient entraîné une série de querelles internes, de négociations et d'accusations de fraude.
Avec l'accession de Mahdi au pouvoir, il s'agit de la première fois depuis la chute de Saddam Hussein et le successif passage au régime civil que l'Irak n'est pas dirigé par un membre du Parti islamique Dawa. Considérés comme des unificateurs potentiels, le nouveau président Barham Saleh et son Premier ministre Adel Abdel Mahdi font face à de grands défis.

The Children of ISIS Foreign Fighters: Are Protection and National Security in Opposition?
One year ago, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was declared "defeated." Since then, much attention has been given to the fate of its male foreign fighters, in particular the security concerns regarding their return. Less attention has been given, however, to the children of these fighters—both those born in Iraq and Syria and those brought by their parents to the region.

After Iraqi Kurdistan's Thwarted Independence Bid
Backlash to the 2017 independence referendum bolstered family rule within Iraq's two main Kurdish parties. Internal democracy has eroded; ties between the parties have frayed. Only strong institutions in Erbil and renewed inter-party cooperation can help Iraqi Kurdistan to reach a sustainable settlement with Baghdad on outstanding issues.

Consolidating the Security Sector in Post-Conflict States: Polish Lessons from Iraq
This chapter examines the security sector reform in Iraq after the end of major combat operations in April 2003. The author discusses the Polish contribution to stabilization and reconstruction as member of the US-led 'coalition of the willing.' He draws the conclusion that an augmentation of NATO capabilities in post-conflict reconstruction, particularly security sector reform, would enable it to better face the challenges of the strategic environment in Iraq.
Developing Iraq's security sector
Soon after the coalition's occupation of Iraq began in April 2003, it became evident that prewar assumptions about the security situation that would follow the ouster of Saddam Hussein had been unduly optimistic. The environment was not benign—in fact, it was deteriorating. Iraqi security forces had largely disintegrated, and those that remained were incapable of responding to rising criminality and political violence. In this environment, the coalition confronted three security imperatives: (1) to restore order and neutralize insurgents and terrorists; (2) to rebuild Iraqi security forces, which could eventually take on responsibility for Iraq's security; and (3) to build security sector institutions, such as national security management institutions, the interior and defense ministries, and the justice sector, to ensure that the Iraqi security sector could be an effective bulwark for a democratic Iraq in the future.
At the time that the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) handed over authority to the Iraqi Interim Government (IIG) on June 28, 2004, it was clear that the coalition had made little progress in the first task. Insurgent and terrorist violence was escalating, organized crime was flourishing, and the security situation was threatening both the political transition and the reconstruction program. The coalition's record on the second and third tasks, however, is somewhat less simply categorized. From April 2003, the coalition embarked on efforts to rapidly field Iraqi security forces and to build security sector institutions. This effort was broad in scope, but its implementation was patchy, its results were varying, and its ultimate success or failure remains difficult to determine. Significant analysis has focused on the inability of the coalition to adequately counter political violence and crime in post-Saddam Iraq. There has also been considerable discussion about the coalition's effort to develop Iraqi security forces. The matter of institutionbuilding, however, has been largely ignored by observers and policymakers; it is often seen as a long-term issue that is too far removed from immediate security needs. But the three efforts are interdependent: Iraq's future security depends on its indigenous security forces, and these forces' success and sustainability depend on the institutions that support them. This report concerns itself with the efforts to build both forces and institutions in Iraq. It provides a historical record of the coalition's experience and seeks, insofar as is possible at this early stage, to draw lessons from the successes and failures of that experience.

Reform And Reconstruction of the Security Sector
See it at Google Books
Security sector reform (SSR) is widely recognized as key to conflict prevention, peace-building, sustainable development, and democratization. SSR has gained most practical relevance in the context of post-conflict reconstruction of so-called "failed states'" and states emerging from violent internal or inter-state conflict. As this volume shows, almost all states need to reform their security sectors to a greater or lesser extent, according to the specific security, political and socio-economic contexts, as well as in response to the new security challenges resulting from globalization and post-9/11 developments. Alan Bryden is a researcher at the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces. Heiner Hnggi is assistant director of the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces.
Looks at the Caolition Provisional Authority's efforts to rebuild Iraq's security sector and provides lessons learned.
Private Actors and Security Governance
The privatization of security understood as both the top-down decision to outsource military and security-related tasks to private firms and the bottom-up activities of armed non-state actors such as rebel opposition groups, insurgents, militias, and warlord factions has implications for the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Both top-down and bottom-up privatization have significant consequences for effective, democratically accountable security sector governance as well as on opportunities for security sector reform across a range of different reform contexts. This volume situates security privatization within a broader policy framework, considers several relevant national and regional contexts, and analyzes different modes of regulation and control relating to a phenomenon with deep historical roots but also strong links to more recent trends of globalization and transnationalization. Alan Bryden is deputy head of research at the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF). Marina Caparini is senior research fellow at the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF).
Improving Capacity for Stabilization and Reconstruction
Until recently, governments and militaries have preferred to focus attention and resources on conventional military operations rather than stabilization and reconstruction missions. Thus, skills and capacities for the latter set of missions have remained underdeveloped or have been allowed to atrophy. U.S. experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan have demonstrated, however, that improving U.S. capacity for stabilization and reconstruction operations is critical to national security. To help craft a way ahead, the authors provide an overview of the requirements posed by stabilization and reconstruction operations and recommend ways to improve U.S. capacity to meet these needs. Among other findings, the authors suggest that the United States
emphasize building civilian rather than military capacity
realign and reform existing agencies rather than creating new organizations
fund and implement the Civilian Stabilization Initiative
improve deployable police capacity
develop stronger crisis-management processes
ensure coherent guidance and funding.
Customary Justice and the Rule of Law in War-Torn Societies
The major peacekeeping and stability operations of the last ten years have mostly taken place in countries that have pervasive customary justice systems, which pose significant challenges and opportunities for efforts to reestablish the rule of law. These systems are the primary, if not sole, means of dispute resolution for the majority of the population, but post-conflict practitioners and policymakers often focus primarily on constructing formal justice institutions in the Western image, as opposed to engaging existing traditional mechanisms. This book offers insight into how the rule of law community might make the leap beyond rhetorical recognition of customary justice toward a practical approach that incorporates the realities of its role in justice strategies."Customary Justice and the Rule of Law in War-Torn Societies" presents seven in-depth case studies that take a broad interdisciplinary approach to the study of the justice system. Moving beyond the narrow lens of legal analysis, the cases Mozambique, Guatemala, East Timor, Afghanistan, Liberia, Iraq, Sudan examine the larger historical, political, and social factors that shape the character and role of customary justice systems and their place in the overall justice sector. Written by resident experts, the case studies provide advice to rule of law practitioners on how to engage with customary law and suggest concrete ways policymakers can bridge the divide between formal and customary systems in both the short and long terms. Instead of focusing exclusively on ideal legal forms of regulation and integration, this study suggests a holistic and flexible palette of reform options that offers realistic improvements in light of social realities and capacity limitations. The volume highlights how customary justice systems contribute to, or detract from, stability in the immediate post-conflict period and offers an analytical framework for assessing customary justice systems that can be applied in any country.
Iraq plans comprehensive security sector reform
As the security environment in Iraq remains complex and challenging, Security Sector Reform (SSR) is a prerequisite for both long-term stability and peace. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been engaged with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), through its Support to Security Sector Reform Phase I, to develop a National Security Strategy (NSS). The strategy centralizes the concept of human security and promotes inclusivity and equality, and its development has revealed the immediate and fundamental need for the Government to focus its efforts on developing a SSR plan.

The Report of the Iraq Inquiry
The former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, announced on 15 June 2009 that an Inquiry would be conducted to identify lessons that could be learned from the Iraq conflict. It considered the period from the summer of 2001 to the end of July 2009, embracing the run-up to the conflict in Iraq, including the way decisions were made and actions taken, to establish, as accurately as possible, what happened. This was done in order to be best equipped if the UK were to ever find itself in a similar situation according to the Chair of the Inquiry, Sir John Chilcot.
The report includes various aspects of the different policies throughout the entire time period the inquiry investigated and it includes a section specific to Security Sector Reform.

JB Pharma rolls out its campaign #Heart2HeartChallengeIndia
4 months ago Pravin Solanki
JB Pharma's initiative – #Heart2HeartChallengeIndia aims to spread awareness about heart health amongst the masses as a study demonstrated if one takes more than one-and-a-half minutes to climb four floors of stairs, one's heart is suboptimal
Delhi/Mumbai, September 23, 2022: World Heart Day (WHD) – September, 29 is a gentle reminder to look into whether our heart is healthy or not. For every beating heart, beating cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is extremely important. However, heart health statistics are not very promising and approximately 12 lakh youngsters die from cardiac arrest every year in India.
Considering the dire need to curb the steady rise in the incidence of heart diseases – hypertension and heart failure in India, JB Pharma has initiated the #Heart2HeartChallengeIndia with the support of HEAL Foundation to spread awareness amongst the masses to check whether their hearts are healthy or not by involving simple steps. The #Heart2HeartChallengeIndia is very simple – you have to climb 60 steps (4 floors) in a minute, make a video of it, share it on your social media, tag 5 people, inviting them to take this challenge to check their heart health.
The challenge takes its inspiration from a study published in Rev Esp Cardiol (Engl Ed)"Time to climb 4 flights of stairs provides relevant information on exercise testing performance and results" in 2020. The same study was published as a press release by the European Society of Cardiology under the heading "Test your heart health by climbing stairs". As per a study, finding climbing 4 flights of stairs in under a minute can be linked with low mortality.
Dilip Singh Rathore, President – India Business, JB Pharma, said, "As per the WHO report, nearly 63% of total deaths in India are due to non-communicable diseases, of which 27% are attributed to cardiovascular disease (CVD) which affects 45% of people in the 40-69 age group. Raised blood pressure is among the most important risk factors for CVDs. Moreover, it remains poorly controlled due to low awareness about hypertension, lack of appropriate care through primary care and poor follow-ups. Considering the need to spread awareness around World Heart Day falling on September 29, we have initiated the 'Heart2Heart Challenge India' campaign – yet another gentle reminder to the masses to pay heed to their heart health, to make India heart-healthy."
[1] Time to climb 4 flights of stairs provides relevant information on exercise testing performance and results – PubMed (nih.gov)
[1] Test your heart health by climbing stairs (escardio.org)
The purpose of this campaign is to drive awareness on checking heart health individually because if one is unable to climb 60 steps (4 floors) in 1 minute, it is the primary sign that one's heart is suboptimal (not working well) as the European Society of Cardiology has demonstrated it. And it would be a good idea to consult a doctor and get your BP checked, to take preventive or curative measures whatsoever required to keep your heart healthy.
7 Summits in 1 minute
The idea of climbing 7 summits is climbing the height of the combined height of the 7 highest peaks of the world. The arithmetic of 7 summits is – 60 steps or 4 floors are equal to 40 feet. And the combined height of 7 summits is 142100.9 ft. Then, if 3553 people climb 4 floors in 1 minute, it would be equal to climbing 7 Summits in 1
Speaking about bringing heart health awareness, and about the alarming state of hypertension in India, Dr Swadeep Srivastava, Founder & Chairman, HEAL Foundation, said, "As per the WHO report, only about 12% of people with hypertension in India have their blood pressure under control. And uncontrolled blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as heart attacks and stroke are responsible for one-third of total deaths in India. The Heart2Heart Challenge India campaign is a novel attempt to mitigate the deteriorating heart health conditions of Indian people, and to stride by the Government of India's target to reduce the 25% prevalence of hypertension (raised blood pressure) by 2025. The campaign has multiple steps which include four flight challenges, learning accurate measurement (BP RIGHT KARO) of blood pressure, and cholesterol testing. We are hopeful that people will participate in the challenge wholeheartedly and by World Heart Day we scale the height equal to 7 mountain Summits of the world to create a world record."
To spread this message across about 2500 JB employees, including senior management from across multiple locations, will participate in the campaign, and take the challenge by inviting more and more people from their groups to take the challenge and pass on the healthy heart and timely BP monitoring message in the community to make it public.
Disclaimer: The outcome of the challenge is to provide you with an indicative assessment, this is not a substitute for medical advice. You should NOT take Heart2Heart Challenge if you are already diagnosed or are at risk of any heart/lung condition. Consult your doctor for more clarification.

Q: Filter Instances based on tag name and print specific tag value in Python I wanted to filter my instances based on tag value. That is completed and i get multiple tag key and values for each instances.
Code:
client = boto3.client("ec2")
response = client.describe_instances(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'tag:Name',
            'Values': [
                'myapp-*'
            ]
        },
        {
            'Name': 'instance-state-name',
            'Values': [
                'running',
            ]
        }
    ]
)['Reservations']

for ec2_reservation in response:
    for ec2_instance in ec2_reservation["Instances"]:
       print(ec2_instance)

Response: (I removed all other fields intentionally and pasted only tags section below)
'Tags': [{'Key': 'Patch group', 'Value': 'Amazon-Linux'},
          {'Key': 'Name', 'Value': 'myapp-mgmt-1'},
          {'Key': 'environment', 'Value': 'devl'},
          {'Key': 'ssm-managed', 'Value': 'true'},

'Tags': [{'Key': 'Patch group', 'Value': 'Amazon-Linux'},
          {'Key': 'Name', 'Value': 'myapp-web-1'},
          {'Key': 'environment', 'Value': 'devl'},
          {'Key': 'ssm-managed', 'Value': 'true'},

Now while tried to print value of key-name i am not able to make it. Below is what i tried. Can you please help me sort this out. May be duplicated but was not able to find appropriate reference from other posts.
print(ec2_instance["Tags"][0][{'Name':'tag-key', 'Values':['Name']}])

TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'

I am expecting an output as:
'myapp-mgmt-1'
'myapp-web-1'

A: After a while I have it figured out. Here  is the complete code for your reference:
Note: Using boto3.resource I had to loop between instances to get their tag names.
client = boto3.client("ec2")
resource = boto3.resource("ec2")

response = client.describe_instances(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'tag:Name',
            'Values': [
                'myapp-*'
            ]
        },
        {
            'Name': 'instance-state-name',
            'Values': [
                'running',
            ]
        }
    ]
)['Reservations']

instanceList = []
for reservation in response:
    ec2_instances = reservation["Instances"]
    for instance in ec2_instances:
        InstanceId = (instance['InstanceId'])
        #InstanceState = (instance['State']['Name'])
        #InstanceLaunchTime = (instance['LaunchTime'])

        ec2instance = resource.Instance(InstanceId)
        InstanceName = []
        for tags in ec2instance.tags:
            if tags["Key"] == 'Name':
                InstanceName = tags['Value']

        fInstance = (InstanceName, InstanceId)
        InstanceDetails = (",".join(fInstance))
        instanceList.append(fInstance)

print(json.dumps(instanceList, indent=4))

As of now this works for me. Please let me know if you have any better way.

Pathways to meaning: A new approach to studying emotions at work
Don Grant, Alfonso Morales, Jeffrey J Sallaz
Research on the emotional consequences of interactive service work remains inconclusive in large part because scholars have not analyzed the mechanisms that lead frontline employees to adopt the meanings disseminated by their employers. The authors argue that the theoretical framework best suited for remedying this situation is the negotiated order perspective. It suggests that whether employees adopt a corporate-sanctioned meaning, and with what emotional effect, depends on the conjunction of several social conditions. The authors also propose a novel analytical strategy that can identify these conditional pathways and formalize the combinatorial logic of the negotiated order perspective: fuzzy-set techniques. To illustrate the utility of this approach, the article examines a university hospital that has tried to create a more meaningful and emotionally rewarding work environment for its nursing staff. Consistent with expectations, findings show that employees can embrace the same corporate-sanctioned meaning under different sets of conditions and with different emotional consequences.

To this end, we can supply the appropriate resources in terms of personnel, technical infrastructure and physical space.


Of course nowadays we've never had it so good in regard to the availability and range of available beers and beer styles. Confusing to some who are just happy with the Best Bitter they have supped for the last 20,30, 40 or more years or the occasional pubgoer who drink Doom Bar because they have heard of it, and it's Cornish really, so it must be good, right? But pub numbers continue to decline and if they stay the same this will carry on, beer drinking in pubs as many of us know it is ailing and slowly eroding away, so change in the mix of pubs and beers is necessary to keep thinks vibrant and hopefully moving in the right direction. Of course there is room for the old style traditional pub , I like nothing better than an old school traditional pub, the same goes for traditional beer though I personally prefer a good stout or porter to a best bitter. But this traditional idyll now needs a shot in the arm to keep the general beer and pub scene alive. So with this in mind I continued my wanderings around Manchester.
First stop on this particular leg was The Northern Monk Refectory in Tariff Street a bit of a mouthful of a name, but a modern bar selling in the main "exciting" craft beer.
Housed in a large building with a non-descript entrance, it doesn't look too alluring. Inside is rather sparse yet efficient in the modern way.
The bar is practical but not beautiful.
There are four cask beers advertised, but on my visit only Timothy Taylor Landlord was available, but I'm a modern guy and went keg, there were sixteen to choose from, I settled for Northern Monk Eternal Session IPA, very bitter and murky, but served in a charmingly unique glass.
Not a place to endear itself to some I'm sure, but all part of the diverse pub tapestry I believe is required for a healthy scene.
I shall continue looking at different styles of pubs, good, bad and indifferent soon.
Northern Monk confuse me, seen a few of their places, not sure what their USP is.
That's the only one I've been to, basically It's a large craft bar/taproom showcasing their beers, I thought it was quite smart though not a place for an extended stay.

Lyft's e-bikes are back after a fiery hiatus
Riding flame-free in SF.

That was a long break. After five months, Lyft's e-bikes are back and, hopefully, not on fire.
In July, ride-sharing company Lyft pulled all of its battery-assisted bicycles from Bay Area streets. The 1,000 electric bikes, part of its Bay Wheels bike-share program, were removed after reports of the devices catching on fire. Only classic pedal-powered bikes without flammable batteries remained in San Francisco, San Jose, and the East Bay.
Ebikes are now back in San Francisco! Thanks for your patience while we worked to get this right — safety remains top of mind moving forward. pic.twitter.com/8jFBotdx0n
— Bay Wheels (@baywheels) December 19, 2019
On Thursday, those e-bikes were finally back in San Francisco and in full force. Instead of only refilling the 1,000 empty slots, now up to 4,000 of Lyft's new e-bikes will be joining the rental fleet over the next six months. The apparently now-safe e-bikes also returned to San Jose's streets a few weeks ago. As for the East Bay, Oakland won't see the e-bikes return until some time next year. Other East Bay cities, Berkeley and Emeryville, are currently working with Lyft to introduce the refurbished e-bikes in more places.
Back in September, San Francisco transportation officials threatened to pull Lyft's e-bike permit because of the delay in getting the bikes back on the roads and running. Apparently, the city was just as in the dark about when the bikes would return as anyone, the San Francisco Examiner reported. Officials also wanted to know what was up with the batteries and why one burned down a parked e-bike. No one was injured in the fire incidents, but it was disturbing to see the charred remains parked at a neighborhood bike rack.
Lyft weathered the firestorm and is now working with a new battery supplier and reassembling the bikes for a flame-free ride. Pressure from the city also let up so Lyft still holds one of two permits for e-bikes. (The other is held by Uber's Jump bikes that have a pedal-assist feature.)

With the boosted bikes' return comes a limited-time offer to pay the same rental rate for an e-bike as a traditional bike. This pricing will be in place until March.
excited for @baywheels ebikes to be back in the city!
sad to hear starting March ebikes will become more expensive. the all-you-can-ride-for-$150/year ebike pricing was always too good to be true 😢https://t.co/aJAmwxTC2P pic.twitter.com/o9r2NxfEAj

After March, it'll cost you more for that extra e-juice.

When I started this blog in February I already loved to bake. I made cookies and cupcakes all the time and had tried a couple cheesecakes, banana bread and other basics, but most of the sweets that I've made on here are first-timers for me. I love that because not only am I getting to be a much more well-rounded baker, but I get to document my progress in the blog! How it is that I managed this long without making a pie though is a mystery. Don't get me wrong- I probably "helped" my Mom make Thanksgiving pies every year when I was a kid. But that mostly consisted of watching her and then getting distracted by a new episode of Full House or something. I'm a firm believer that the only way to really learn now to do something is to just figure it out yourself!
Anyway- this was my first actual pie that I made all by my lonesome and I think it turned out great! I brought it to book club the other night and we pretty much scarfed it down. The filling was the best part-tart, sweet, juicy but not watery. I had been debating on what kind of berries to use, but ended up doing a combo because they both looked so fresh and lovely at the market.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough for the bottom crust. Fit into an 11 inch pie plate. Trim pastry using scissors or a sharp parking knife and chill. Keep remaining half of the dough in the fridge for the lattice.
Combine rhubarb, strawberries and raspberries in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, flour and lemon juice. Toss gently so as not to break the raspberries. Spoon into pie shell, and dot with butter. Refrigerate with preparing the lattice top.
In a small bowl combine the egg and cream , whisking lightly, and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining dough for lattice, and cut into one inch strips. Weave strips over filling, and place an extra strip or two along the edge, where the bottom crust joins the lattice top; press this strip in with a fork or fingers to seal it well.
Brush lattice and all pastry edges with egg glaze, sprinkle top with sugar, and place on a parchment lined- baking sheet.
Bake until pastry is golden brown and juices in center of pie are bubbling. 1¼ to 1½ hours.
Transfer to wire rack to cool before serving.
Audra- this is so beautiful! Congrats on the first pie! Confession: I don't remember the last time I made my own pie crust. :O Yours looks yummy even withthe whole wheat flout. I love the color.
The pie certainly looks delicious. I love the addition of raspberries to the traditional strawberry/rhubarb pie, beautiful!
Breaking out the Martha recipe. Nicely done. This is beautiful. Perfect looking. The details are definitely to be admired. Such precison in assembly and it gorgeous. Fantastic post.
I'm a sucker for awesome presentation, and the basket weave thing is just adorable. And I totally feel ya on the whole blogging/trying for yourself thing. It forces you to try new recipes and learn new tricks, and you feel sooo much better once you've done something really well and then realize that you did it all on your own.
Thanks for the recipe! This totally looks picnic-ready.
Audra, how amazing it this? Your first pie with a lattice crust???? WOW! Just gorgeous!
I love a good food processor pastry recipe!
Your pie looks di-licious! In fact I'm haivng pie envy right now.
audra, this is lovely! great work!
i agree about blogging and its ability to fuel the first time creative juices. i grew up baking like hell (pies were my specialty). now i feel like i can really learn tons and expand my repertoire by seeing what other lovely cooks are doing. it's fantastic!
This looks like it belongs in a bakery case…it's beautiful!
This is beautiful!! I love the raspberries with the strawberry and rhubarb. Great job!
Amazing! Wow – your first pie looks perfect. I have tried 1 time before, I think to make a crust and it did not look as pretty on the edges as yours! Great job!
It was lovely to meet you today and your baking looks delish! Cannot wait to try one of your recipes! Here is one of the sister videos my sister and I have done. I have a feeling you will understand as you have sisters too!
Wow, I think you've just inspired me. I've really never made a pie either (always cupcakes and cookies) and I really want to do something different for this weekend holiday. This pie really look wonderful. It really does look like it came from a bakery. Awesome job!
The pie is so beautiful!
This pie looks great BUT I am questioning the pie crust ingredients. Are you really adding 3 STICKS of butter to only 3/4 cup AP flour? This seems out of proportion to me.
Beautiful pie, however. Great job on the lattice top.
Laura- thanks for the note. You are absolutely right. It was meant to read THREE and 3/4 cups flour.
I appreciate you letting me know! That would have been a buttery crust!
I really love the combination of ingredients that you selected for your filling.
What a lovely pie..and I never tried rhubarb:)) Got to try that, it becoming more and more popular!:)) Looks amazing, and extremely tasty!!!
Audra, it's really awesome! This will quickly become a favorite in our house!
Audra, it looks so yummy! I love the step-by-step instructions, making it an easy recipe to follow!

Uruguay: CRIDOVNI to Analyze UFO Photos
Source: Planeta UFO and CRIFAT
http://www.crifat.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=19
The issues raised by extraterrestrial life are as ancient as the story of civilization.
Various sightings have already been reported in Punta del Este and its vicinity time and again. One of them took place on 9 October, when Fernanda Romero had the chance to photograph an unidentified flying object in the sky over Punta del Este – an image that could perhaps be evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Starting with the photos taken by Maria Fernanda Romero -- an outstanding figure in this city whose qualities allow the elimination of any possibility of manipulation -- as a direct witness of the sighting, and as a function of the dissemination they had through this space, we were visited by Lt. Enrique Gonzales and Col. Ariel Sanchez-Rios, of Uruguay's Comision Receptora e Investigadora de Ovnis, (CRIDOVNI) attached to the Uruguayan Air Force.
During an interesting conversation, they made us aware of the creation, functions and goals of this Agency at the national level, representing a true source of pride to the Uruguayan Air Force. Created on 7 August 1979, it maintains close ties to civilian organizations engaged in similar activities, with is main goal being to receive, study and evaluate all UFO reports over the national air space, which falls under the competence of the Uruguayan Air Force as per Law 14.747, supporting activities aimed at controlling airspace and aeronautical safety.
Within this framework, the compile and classify all matters pursuant to UFO reports, creating a database and establishing technical and scientific cooperation programs at the national and international level, establishing the characteristics and behavior guidelines of unidentified flying objects that engage in unconventional aerial maneuvers.
During their visit, they explained that the methodology employed in studying the sightings follows protocols that are stringently followed. The final conclusions seek to address five basic issues: the possibility that it could be fraud by the eyewitness, or else a third party causing an unreal belief, or a conventional phenomenon, or perhaps an optical illusion, or that we are definitely facing an unconventional phenomenon. These questions are dispelled through an analysis of documents (photos or videos), technical examinations performed on these items, time, weather and meteorological conditions, place and means, and the statements of witnesses who have perceived the alleged phenomenon through their senses.
During the course of the interview, and among other cases, they told us about one that most stirred the researchers' curiosity: At midnight on 25 September 1975, the time being 19:30 hours, an FH-227 of the Uruguayan Air Force in service to PLUNA, heading from Asunción, Paraguay, toward Montevideo, was at a flight altitude of 14,000 feet (4300 meters) and at a cruising speed of 250 knots (450 kph).
After flying over Monte Caseros and in the dark of the night, the pilot was able to see a yellowish, nearly white, glowing light over to the left and under this aircraft, toward the city of Artigas and very near the ground. The light began to rise to the same altitude as the aircraft within five minutes, keeping a distance of 3 to 5 miles, after which it accompanied the Uruguayan aircraft, matching its movements evenly.
Seeking to test a change in direction or attitude on the part of the unidentified object, the pilot turned on the left landing light, immediately noticing a reaction, as the unknown light began to approach the plane significantly. This movement ended when the landing light was turned off, causing the object to return to its previous position or to its original size. During the brief period of proximity, a strong scent of burned wiring was perceived in the cabin, as if originating from an electrical connection, but any problems in this regard were dismissed after checking. The odor was gone in a matter of minutes.
The captain made the corresponding calls to the control area, advising that he had traffic on his left and at his level, but he was told that no aerial traffic was reported on the route, level or even in the area of the incident.
Upon reaching the vicinity of [the town of] Florida, the airliner began to descend, crossing the cloud level for the first time during the flight. The light continued to escort them, but without descending. Entering the cloud layer at 6000 feet, visual contact with the object was finally lost.
They stressed throughout the interview that during the entire procedure they were in the cabin, observing the phenomenon with the two flight officers as direct witnesses. Also present was the captain's nephew (who happened to be on the flight, and was called over to take photos of the phenomenon; these were subsequently analyzed by officials) and many passengers corroborated the sighting from their respective seats.
Many stories could be told over sightings here and around the world. There are many mysteries to be revealed, but there is no doubt that we will someday have the necessary evidence to confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life. A photo of Mars is commonplace today; perhaps in the future we will have images that reveal the mysteries of the Cosmos.
All of this material has created such interest among our readers that we will be addressing other aspects – legal and technical – which have not been widely reported. Furthermore, we undertake to provide you with timely information on the conclusions reached by CRIDOVNI's official authorities regarding the sighting that recently took place in our beloved Punta del Este.
