At 10, I started to "doodle" scraps of paper, then decided to take classes and devote myself to the subject of the portrait. I realized portraits are always done from photo.
A picture for which I had a thunderbolt, or given to me by a third party to draw it.
My main tools are the pencil to color, pastel and pen and sometimes Indian ink for pure black.
My goal is to transform this inanimate object that is a photograph, a drawing that lives, like the subject.

Following their nine-year absence, Hecate Enthroned returned to the scene in 2013 with their 'Virulent Rapture' album, an album which garnered mixed reviews from both fans and critics alike. As the tour concluded, Hecate Enthroned parted ways with Elliot Beaver, the vocalist for the 'Virulent Rapture' album and in 2015 announced that former Lacrota and Sadistic Undertorture vocalist Joe Stamps would be taking over singing duties with Hecate Enthroned delivering their sixth album 'Embrace of the Godless Aeon' after a four year wait.
'Embrace…' instantly delivers the goods, as an album it pushes the bands previous effort to the side, almost blatantly ignoring it and ploughs forward to create a bridge with the bands more prevalent work such as 'Redimus' and 'Dark Requiems… and Unsilent Massacre'. Hecate Enthroned have achieved this by bringing their symphonic nature forward once more, making the keyboard soundscapes one of the prominent features which almost leads the black metal wall of sound forward. Furthermore, whilst tracks such as 'Whispers of the Mountain Ossuary' contain large elements of melodic death metal that would appeal to fans of Dark Tranquillity or Amorphis; it is the entwining of black metal vocals and soaring female leads which make this album so endearing, appealing to fans of both Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir with excellent tracks like 'Revelations In Autumn Flame', the sombre musings of 'Enthrallment' and the tour de force which closes the album, 'Erebus and Terror'.
For those looking for that first wave or that classic Norwegian sound, it would be difficult to find here. 'Embrace…' is well-produced with excellently crafted songs and although Hecate Enthroned do little here to expand on the accessible formula already laid down by Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, it does not take away from the overall enjoyable sound which this album presents. Yet, more importantly, it is good to have Hecate Enthroned back doing what they do best and 'Embrace…' is a perfect example of what they do best.

Labor Law Pointers
A Monthly Electronic Newsletter Addressing
New York State Labor Law
Decisions and Trends
Soto v J. Crew Inc.
I know I am a Labor Law geek but it is good to know I have company. I was merrily working away on materials for an upcoming CLE when Dan Kohane emailed me that the Court of Appeals had issued a Labor Law decision. At first I doubted him, as and my tickler had not yet kicked the decision in from Westlaw, but I have learned the hard way that not believing Dan can be a painful. I have seen it cost people, myself included, money in the past. In fact he was right and the decision was simply not up on Westlaw yet.
I love this case. It is the perfect application of logic to an otherwise illogical area of the law. Here the plaintiff, an employee of a commercial cleaning company who was assigned to clean that specific store on a daily basis was dusting a six foot high wooden shelf when he and the ladder fell over causing injury to the plaintiff. Cleaning is, of course, an enumerated activity under 240(1) of the labor law and so, the plaintiff argued; his fall from a ladder should be a covered event.
The key to this case is the question of whether this type of cleaning is a covered activity. The court refers to its decision in Dahar v Holland Ladder where it used an analogy to illustrate their decision not to extend the Labor Law to cover cleaning as a portion of the manufacturing process.
Indeed, the logic of plaintiff's argument here would expand the protections of Labor Law § 240 (1) even beyond manufacturing activities; the statute would encompass virtually every "cleaning" of any "structure" in the broadest sense of that term. Every bookstore employee who climbs a ladder to dust off a bookshelf; every maintenance worker who climbs to a height to clean a light fixture—these and many others would become potential Labor Law § 240 (1) plaintiffs. We decline to extend the statute so far beyond the purposes it was designed to serve. Dahar v Holland Ladder
The Court in Soto v J. Crew Inc. reaffirmed that commercial window washing is a covered activity, a position which makes logical sense. Commercial window washers, like construction workers, are routinely exposed to elevation related risks which the remainder of the population simply is not. The Court here lists the 4 factors to be analyzed to determine if the activity is cleaning as contemplated within the Labor Law.
Per the Court of Appeals "an activity cannot be characterized as "cleaning" under the statute, if the task: 1) is routine, in the sense that it is the type of job that occurs on a daily, weekly or other relatively-frequent and recurring basis as part of the ordinary maintenance and care of commercial premises; 2) requires neither specialized equipment or expertise, nor the unusual deployment of labor; 3) generally involves insignificant elevation risks comparable to those inherent in typical domestic or household cleaning; and 4) in light of the core purpose of Labor Law § 240(1) to protect construction workers, is unrelated to any ongoing construction, renovation, painting, alteration or repair project."
The Court went on to hold that the determination of whether the task was cleaning under 240(1) is for the court and thus appropriate for a Summary Judgment decision and is not thus a decision for the jury. The court did, however, leave some discursion to the courts holding that "The presence or absence of any one is not necessarily dispositive if, viewed in totality, the remaining considerations militate in favor of placing the task in one category or the other."
You may recall that I wrote on this same case when it came out of the First Department last year and continue to agree that it is a logical and appropriate decision. This is simply not the type of accident that the labor Law was promulgated to protect against.
PRACTICE POINT: Know the four elements necessary to determine if the cleaning is a covered task under the Labor Law. Seemingly if these four elements are present it is not a Labor Law case. The elements are; is the cleaning routine and regular, does it require specialized equipment or expertise, does it generally require insignificant elevation risk and is it unrelated to construction. While there was some discretion built into the decision, remember that this is a decision for the court and not for a jury.

Jaldi 5 with Aditya Sinha, former editor-in-chief, DNA: Coincidence that quitting timed with Zee News controversy
When Aditya Sinha announced his decision to quit DNA as editor-in-chief last week, the move surprised especially since he was rumoured to be getting along well with Zee group chief Subhash Chandra. On Saturday, he tweeted: To those who asked: I have resigned DNA to focus on writing novels. First book being reworked, second just started. For wishes, many thanks."
When asked to reconfirm this, he told MxMIndia that he had submitted his resignation on December 6 and has moved on from immediate effect. "I have been hanging around, however, merely to drag out my goodbyes," he said.
On when his first book is going to be published, he corrected us. "My first book, non-fiction, was published in late 1995. My first novel will be published once we find a publisher, so I cannot currently give you a date," he said. Indeed: Death of Dreams: A Terrorist's Tale was a book on a Kashmir youth's ascent as the head of a terror outfit. He also wrote a biography of Dr Farooq Abdullah in 1996 and as he mentioned in a column in the DNA, he has ghostwritten a 1994 book by Salman Khurshid.
When asked on his replacement, Mr Sinha also informed us that: "Ravi Joshi, the recently appointed Mumbai RE, suddenly finds himself incharge. Bhaskar Das may find an alternative if he can convince someone from his old place of employment to join."
It may be remembered that DNA has seen a rehaul of its A-team in the recent past, and Mr Sinha's exit completes that. CEO K U Rao moved out last month to join parent Zee group as CEO of WWIL (SitiCable). In September, it hired Sorbojeet Chatterjee, as Vice-President – Marketing from Neo Sports (and marketing head at the TV Today network prior to that). Earlier, it appointed Varun Kohli, chief monetizing officer with Mogae Media, to head revenue (as Executive VP – Sales).
Since there has been much speculation about Mr Sinha's reasons for quitting, given that it comes in the wake of the controversies around the arrest of two senior Zee News executives and his strong defence in his column last week, we asked him a few questions. While he denies the coincidence theory, do read the between the lines to figure what could be the real reason:
01. Your resignation happens at a time when the Zee group is embroiled in a controversy, with the chairman Subhash Chandra also subjected to questioning and the pressure on the arrested editors to name him. Coincidence?
Coincidence.
a. Couldn't you have pushed your decision to some other time?
It could have been done at some other time, but why should I follow other people's timelines?
b. Your decision to move is also untimely because DNA's CEO has moved to Zee and the new regime under Dr Bhaskar Das is just about settling in. Couldn't you have stayed on more?
Please see answer to 1a.
02. You've been very candid in your columns. Last week saw you defend Zee and present the group's standpoint? Could your resignation also be construed as that you are against carrying pro-Zee reports, or should one say: compelled to carry?
I have never been compelled to carry reports. If a family member is accused of something, it is natural for a person to speak of their point of view, not to condemn them. I believe in what I write, and no one has ever forced me to hew to a particular line.
a. Just to clear the air on the Zee-Jindal controversy. Since you would know the real story, and since one knows that you will not fudge things:
– Are the Zee editors really innocent?
– Was there no quid pro quo?
Innocence or guilt, I do believe, are established by courts of law. And whatever the Zee News Editors may be, it is laughable to think that my resignation is a quid pro quo for them.
03. Your highs and lows as Editor-in-Chief of DNA? Something that you would've not liked to see happening if you had to relive your tenure.
My two-plus years as an Editor-in-Chief  have been great. Each day was a learning experience. The greatest satisfaction was when colleagues did work that was notable, which was often. Of course, it is a stress-filled job and each morning begins with some irritation or other. The only lows were realizing that people working in the company did not even read your newspaper! It shows you that most non-journalists in the media industry have zero passion for their jobs.
04. We've heard that the paper is going through a redesign? And the edit page may be back?
The paper is going through a slight redesign because Bhaskar Das wants to change the look-and-feel of the paper to a template that is familiar to us all. He is keen on an edit page, so I guess my departure strengthens his hands in some ways.
05. What next after your books? Writing isn't really a financially rewarding vocation. Are you going to continue to stay on in Mumbai?
I honestly don't know what the future holds. If I could, I would write books for the rest of my existence. Mumbai is an expensive place to live, but I do like living here.

What Does the Word 'Aryan' Actually Mean?
Recuerdos de Pandora/Flickr/CC BY 2.0
Aryan is probably one of the most misused and abused words ever to come out of the field of linguistics. What the term Aryan actually means and what it has come to mean are two vastly different things. Unfortunately, errors by some scholars in the 19th and early 20th centuries brought about its association with racism, anti-Semitism, and hate.
What Does 'Aryan' Mean?
The word Aryan comes from the ancient languages of Iran and India. It was the term that ancient Indo-Iranian-speaking people likely used to identify themselves in the period around 2000 B.C.E. This ancient group's language was one branch of the Indo-European language family. Literally, the word Aryan may mean a noble one.
The first Indo-European language, known as Proto-Indo-European, likely originated around 3500 B.C.E. in the steppes north of the Caspian Sea, along the modern border between Central Asia and Eastern Europe. From there, it spread across much of Europe and south and central Asia. The most southerly branch of the family was Indo-Iranian. A number of different ancient peoples spoke Indo-Iranian daughter languages, including the nomadic Scythians who controlled much of central Asia from 800 B.C.E. to 400 C.E., and the Persians of what is now Iran.
How the Indo-Iranian daughter languages got to India is a controversial topic. Many scholars have theorized that Indo-Iranian speakers, called Aryans or Indo-Aryans, moved into northwestern India from what is now Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan around 1800 B.C.E. According to these theories, the Indo-Aryans were descendants of the Andronovo culture of southwest Siberia who interacted with the Bactrians and acquired the Indo-Iranian language from them.
Nineteenth- and early-20th-century linguists and anthropologists believed that an "Aryan Invasion" displaced the original inhabitants of northern India, driving them all south, where they became the ancestors of the Dravidian-speaking peoples (such as the Tamils). Genetic evidence, however, shows that there was some mixing of central Asian and Indian DNA around 1800 B.C.E., but it was by no means a complete replacement of the local population.
Some Hindu nationalists today refuse to believe that Sanskrit, which is the holy language of the Vedas, came from central Asia. They insist that it developed within India itself. This is known as the "Out of India" hypothesis. In Iran, however, the linguistic origins of the Persians and other Iranian peoples is far less controversial. Indeed, the name "Iran" is Persian for "Land of the Aryans" or "Place of the Aryans."
19th-Century Misconceptions
The theories outlined above represent the current consensus on the origins and diffusion of the Indo-Iranian languages and the so-called Aryan people. However, it took many decades for linguists, aided by archaeologists, anthropologists, and eventually geneticists, to piece this story together.
During the 19th century, European linguists and anthropologists mistakenly believed that Sanskrit was a preserved relic, a sort of fossilized remnant of the earliest usage of the Indo-European language family. They also believed that Indo-European culture was superior to other cultures, and thus that Sanskrit was in some way the highest of the languages.
A German linguist named Friedrich Schlegel developed the theory that Sanskrit was related closely to Germanic languages. He based this on a few words that sounded similar between the two language families. Decades later, in the 1850s, a French scholar named Arthur de Gobineau wrote a four-volume study titled "An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races." In it, Gobineau announced that northern Europeans such as Germans, Scandinavians, and northern French people represented the pure "Aryan" type, while southern Europeans, Slavs, Arabs, Iranians, Indians, and others represented impure, mixed forms of humanity that resulted from interbreeding between the white, yellow, and black races.
This is complete nonsense, of course, and represents a northern European hijacking of south and central Asian ethnolinguistic identity. The division of humanity into three "races" also has no basis in science or reality. However, by the late 19th century, the idea that a prototypical Aryan person should be Nordic-looking (tall, blond-haired, and blue-eyed) had taken hold in northern Europe.
Nazis and Other Hate Groups
By the early 20th century, Alfred Rosenberg and other northern European "thinkers" had taken the idea of the pure Nordic Aryan and turned it into a "religion of the blood." Rosenberg expanded on Gobineau's ideas, calling for the annihilation of racially inferior, non-Aryan types of people in northern Europe. Those identified as non-Aryan Untermenschen, or subhumans, included Jews, Roma, and Slavs, as well as Africans, Asians, and Native Americans.
It was a short step for Adolf Hitler and his lieutenants to move from these pseudoscientific ideas to the concept of a "Final Solution" for the preservation of so-called "Aryan" purity. In the end, this linguistic designation, combined with a heavy dose of Social Darwinism, gave them a perfect excuse for the Holocaust, in which the Nazis targeted the Untermenschen for death by the millions.
Since that time, the term "Aryan" has been severely tainted and has fallen out of common usage in linguistics, except in the term "Indo-Aryan" to designate the languages of northern India. Hate groups and neo-Nazi organizations such as the Aryan Nation and the Aryan Brotherhood, however, still insist on using this term to refer to themselves, even though they're likely not Indo-Iranian speakers.

Businesses are just as unique as the individual, which is why we develop web-based business software solutions. Turn-key and other prepackaged software is good at covering most of the bases; however, one size does not fit all. The majority of the time there are key elements that do not fit your business operations. When this happens, another software piece is needed to fill in the gaps. The cost of multiple systems and the staff and maintenance to keep more than one system up can be expensive and overall not cost-effective. We have solved these issues and many more by simply creating a system that handles your business data exactly how you wish.
Converting your business information software to a web-based system allows for remote access across many mediums. Field techs can be updated and dispatched on their smart phones, sales representatives can access presentations and pricing information while on the road, business partners such as accountants and lawyers can view appropriated information-the limits are endless. Of course security is a priority to allow this information flow; however, this is no different than taking measures to secure a local computer network.
The real benefit to having a software designed is that it can be designed to grow with your changing needs. Ultimately you only end up paying for your software once, then simply making changes as your business decrees. Not only is the physical cost less in the long run, there are also savings in employee training, morale, and the customer interaction. Change is bad, reform and refinement is good.

Review: Blade of the Immortal
Takashi Miike's film is a work of robust genre craftsmanship that's informed with a sly sense of self-interrogation.
Photo: Magnet Releasing
Takashi Miike's films alternate between genre classicism and punk anarchism, collectively hinting at the director's conflicted desire to belong to the mainstream world while detonating it. Ichi the Killer and Visitor Q are the work of someone who embraces feverish tonal discord as a gateway to unpretentious and unhinged art. Meanwhile, Audition and 13 Assassins are psychologically astute and formally rigorous in a manner which suggests that Miike's ready to ascend to the stage of globally revered master—a status that often begets formal conservatism. But Miike's never chosen one side in this duality of fringe and prestige cinema, as he continues to alternate between films as free associative as Yakuza Apocalypse and as funereal and elegant as Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai. Ironically, it's this very openness and flexibility that have cemented Miike as a mainstay in global cinema.
Blade of the Immortal is an implicitly autobiographical film on Miike's part, as it concerns the cultural tensions existing between those who exist both inside and outside the feudal Japanese government. During the film's opening, a samurai, Manji (Takuya Kimura), is said to have killed his masters, which yields an insane bloodbath that ends with the murder of Manji's sister, Machi (Hana Sugisaki). Sliced to ribbons and dying, Manji is cursed with immortality, possessed by "blood worms" that allow him to heal from all wounds, even enabling him to reattach severed limbs. Having turned on the establishment, Manji must now live forever as an outcast, until he's recruited by a little girl, Rin (also Sugisaki), to help her avenge the death of her father by killing a group of rogue samurai led by Anotsu Kagehisa (Sōta Fukushi), himself a rebel who actually longs for respectability as a trainer of the shogun.
The plot's intentionally circular, then, offering a prism of interlocking revenge stories in which all the characters exist as heroes in the narratives of their respective minds. Distinctions of "good" and "bad" are exposed by Blade of the Immortal as the banalities that mature adults understand them to be, and it's this lesson that Rin must learn on her path to freeing herself from a labyrinth of endless vengeance sparked by feelings of class inferiority. The samurais of this film, particularly Anotsu, can't decide whether they wish to destroy Japan or belong to it, and this theme resonantly parallels Miike's own oxymoronic status as a revered master of predominantly disreputable genres.
Though concerned with the pain of the obscurity of the professional who must live outside of the government, essentially as a freelancer, Blade of the Immortal is one of Miike's classical productions. Though hyperbolically violent, the film is still rather restrained by the director's standards; tonally, it strikes a consistently rueful chord that's more or less conventional to the American western and the Japanese samurai production. And while the film understands vengeance as a desire that begets catastrophic and contemptibly pointless destruction, it fulfills the visceral demands of the action genre without the distinctive grotesquerie on which Miike built his reputation. Ichi the Killer is far bitterer brew than Blade of the Immortal.
Which is to say that Blade of the Immortal is a work of robust genre craftsmanship that's informed with a sly sense of self-interrogation. No living filmmaker can stage a duel like Miike, as he underlines the aggression of the combatants, emphasizing the emotional spikes that drive each slash of a sword or ax. Miike's one of the few action filmmakers who can justify the sacrifice of spatial coherence in film editing, as he replaces it with an opera of swords clanging amid faces that are clenched in nearly comical fear and fury, with the splatter of blood as an occasional ejaculatory punchline.
The chaos of the film's plot, with its ever-shifting loyalties and growing cast of vengeful characters, complements the poetic cacophonies of the action sequences, forging a quasi-satirical vision of futility. This satire is intensified by the superb performances of Kimura, Sugisaki, and Fukushi, providing Miike's gloriously beautiful compositions with aching human earnestness. Sugisaki is especially striking, as she informs a familiar role—of the child who becomes acquainted with the true absurdity of violence—with a haunting aura of dwarfed duty. Duty is a ludicrous construct in most war, which is a contrivance of powerful and spiteful men who're enthralled with diseased notions of honor, though such honor holds us in such thrall as to prove nearly impossible to subvert, even by an artist as talented and ambitious as Miike.

Martial Arts Advice
Is Boxing a Martial Art? (The Answer Might Be Simpler than You Think)
Boxing is one of the most well-known combat sports and it has been popular for a very long time. And through out the years, people have been wondering whether or not boxing can be considered a type of martial art in its own right.
So is boxing a martial art? The short answer is yes, absolutely!
In this article, I will cover the definition of martial arts, if another popular combat sport MMA is a martial art, and why I think boxing is definitely a martial art.
Let's dive right in!
What Is the Definition of Martial Arts?
Is MMA a Martial Art?
Why Boxing is A Martial Art
According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of the term "martial art" is "any of several arts of combat and self-defense (such as karate or judo) that are widely practiced as a sport."
If you look purely at the definition of martial arts that has been provided, then it would seem that boxing ticks all the right boxes. It is a combat art and it is definitely widely practiced as a sport. So why is it that some people don't see boxing as a proper martial art?
One of the reasons for the disconnect between boxing and martial arts, is probably that boxing is primarily thought of as a sport and entertainment you watch on TV and on the internet for most people.
Boxing is one of the oldest combat sports that is still a popular part of modern culture. Boxing matches have been thrilling the masses for a very long time. It's definitely seen as a form of combat but people think of it as something that they watch for entertainment.
There are people who learn the art of boxing for self-defense purposes but for some reason, people don't make the connection between martial arts and boxing.
Boxing is definitely a style of martial arts no matter how you look at it. It's a form of fighting that teaches people how to strike fast, punch hard, and move gracefully. Some people even think that boxing might be the best type of striking combat to learn.
MMA is a combat system where many different styles of martial arts can compete against one another. It's a blending of styles in order to compete under a specific set of rules.
So, many people wouldn't consider MMA to be a martial art but rather a modern combat system.
Of course some argue that since many martial arts have been created over the years by combining certain styles and making changes based on new strategies or ideas, MMA should be considered a martial art too.
As MMA has done the same by combining elements of wrestling, boxing, muay thai, karate, judo, jujitsu, and more into one effective form of combat.
But the difference here is that training in most MMA gyms consists of separate training sessions of boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, BJJ, and wrestling.
Of course they do have MMA sessions where they mix it up, but generally MMA is not taught as one martial art, but a mix of several different martial arts. The name Mixed Martial Arts is probably the biggest give away.
So to me, MMA is not a martial art, but mix of several martial arts which includes boxing, making that argument for why boxing is not a martial art completely null and void.
According to Wiki, martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage.
Boxing is definitely a martial art no matter how you look at it.
Whether boxing has the same versatility as a striking art compared to Muay Thai might be up for debate, but you cannot deny that boxing has great utility. Even mixed martial artists wind up incorporating many boxing techniques into their striking strategies in modern times.
Boxing has its own culture and style, making it a distinct form of fighting. It has a set of rules and it takes years to truly master, just as with any other martial art.
Some people don't accept it into the martial arts category and prefer for it to be its own thing, and that's fine by me. Whether or not you want to consider boxing a martial art is of course completely up to you.
I think boxing is definitely a martial art based purely on the definition of martial arts and everything that boxing brings to the table.
You might not agree depending on your viewpoint and background. Regardless, you can respect the fact that boxing has a long and storied tradition, as well as being one of most effective arts of hand to hand combat!

In the summer of 2011, we have witnessed the largest social protest in Israel's History. However, social protest is not a new thing in Israel.
The Black Panthers movement was an Israeli protest movement of second-generation Jewish immigrants from Middle Eastern countries. It was established in the early '70s by Saadia Marciano & Reuven Abergel.
The Black Panthers were one of the first organizations in Israel with the mission of working for social justice for the Mizrahi Jews.
On May 18, 1972, thousands of people came to the Black Panthers' rally in the center of Jerusalem. In the next few months, solidarity demonstrations with the Black Panthers took place in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem. In most of these demonstrations, there were clashes with the police.
Israel's authorities absolutely refused to discuss the problems of poverty and discrimination of any sector of the Israeli public. Golda Meir, the prime minister, said that these Jews brought their poverty with them when they left their native countries.
The peak of the confrontation between the Panthers and the authorities came in 1972. About 60 people were arrested at the May Day demonstration when they chanted slogans against the annexation of Arab lands as well as the poverty of their own community.
Unfortunately, although some Panther members were active in trade unions, the connection of the Black Panther movement with the working class was not strong and in December 1972, the first Black Panther Congress failed to win in the election for the Knesset.
The war in 1973 diverted the Israeli masses from the social struggle, and the Labor government wanted to prevent a new social uprising. After the war, the Israeli establishment made important concessions: the most discriminatory practices were abolished, some Sefardi activists obtained jobs in the government, and the social budget was increased.

Most home insurance policies won't cover you if you leave your home empty for 30 days or more.
Your property might be empty for any number of reasons. You might have just sold it, your home might be having work done or maybe you've had to go into hospital or care.
Whatever the reason, you're not the only one – there are a lot of empty properties in the UK. According to Government statistics, 700,000 properties are unoccupied and 200,000 of these have been empty for more than six months.
Want to know about insuring an unoccupied property? We take you through everything you need to know.
What is an unoccupied property?
Your home is officially unoccupied once you leave it empty for 30 days in a row. This is because most insurers won't cover a property that's been empty for more than a month and if you go to make a claim, your policy could be void.
As general policies won't cover your property if it's empty for long periods of time, you might want to consider taking out unoccupied home insurance. This is particularly worth thinking about if you're a homeowner, as buildings insurance is often a condition of a mortgage and should be in place for different situations.
Unoccupied home insurance is a term used to identify one of the many features of non-standard home insurance. Non-standard home insurance policies cover anything that you may not consider to be common about a home.
This includes buildings made of alternative materials, listed buildings and second properties like a holiday home. As these properties can carry more risk they generally won't be covered under standard insurance cover. Empty properties in particular can be at a greater risk of vandalism, squatters and burglary.
Most unoccupied home insurance policies will cover you for a range of different risks. These include storm, flood and fire damage as well as theft. There might be some restrictions on theft of contents and water damage, and some providers can be reluctant to insure against deliberate damage.
Generally, the property must be in a good condition or your insurer won't cover you. Boarded up houses won't receive cover. In most cases, the property must be secure with approved locks on the doors and windows, and with a burglar alarm installed.
You don't have to insure an empty property for a full 12 months. You should be able to take out cover for as long as you need it. For example, say you're going to be travelling for three months, you'd only need to take out cover for this amount of time. If you decide to prolong your trip, you should be able to extend your cover.
The cost of an unoccupied insurance policy depends certain things like the value of the property, the location and why the property is left empty. As non-standard cover can be more expensive, make sure that you shop around to get the best deal possible.

NSSF announced earlier today that we have retained expert counsel and will be proceeding with a challenge in Massachusetts against Attorney General Maura Healey's "Enforcement Notice" that has had the effect of banning the sales of semiautomatic rifles in the Commonwealth. NSSF is seeking Massachusetts retailers willing to join in the lawsuit as plaintiffs. There will be no legal cost to those doing so. Interested retailers should contact Patrick Shay at pshay@nssf.org with all necessary contact information as soon as possible.
NSSF for the past two weeks has been inundated with calls and emails seeking clarifications to the "Enforcement Notice." Unfortunately, they are in the dark. The Attorney General's Office has offered little to no guidance and simply directs our licensed retailers to its website. At the this time we recommend that retailers cease any communications with the Attorney General's Office conducted without the assistance of legal counsel. Anyone who could potentially be in violation of the new interpretations, or a further amendment of them, may be subject to future prosecution. This means any information you might give that office, no matter how innocuous, could be used against you.
We would also strongly recommend that if the Attorney General, or other agency, contacts you requesting information that you do not respond until you have consulted legal counsel. Make especially certain that any legal counsel you seek is an expert on firearms and constitutional law.
Once again, NSSF is seeking any retailer who wants to be a part of the lawsuit to contact us immediately. This is, most likely, not the end of her blatant attack on our industry. Late last week, the AG's office sought information from some of our member companies regarding manufacturing dates of specific firearms. The lack of action on behalf of the legislature could be interpreted by the AG's office as providing tacit approval to continue.
Our retailers have been operating in the state for the past 18 years under the same interpretation that has been supported by all state regulatory agencies. During this time no prior attorney general has attempted to usurp the constitutional role of the legislature or the courts to essentially rewrite state law. This action indicates a clear antigun political agenda that overnight turned law abiding Massachusetts citizens and federally licensed manufacturers, distributors and retailers into potential felons.
NSSF will continue to update you as we move forward in our legal challenge.
Good luck and kick their arse!!
I hope they make the case that M. Healy and co. are making second class citizens out of Massachusetts residents.
If we cannot purchase the same items as other Americans then we are no longer equals, in fact, we now no longer have the same speech rights. This is a case of freedom of speech! Exercising ones' rights is free speech!

Pfizer withdraws Caduet in 12 Euro countries
PharmaTimes
Pfizer is withdrawing its application to market the cardiovascular treatment Caduet (atorvastatin and amlodipine) in 12 European countries, because some regulatory authorities were not convinced that its efficacy had been demonstrated.
Caduet had been held up as an important new product for Pfizer as it tries to defend its lucrative $2.5 billion dollar franchise for Norvasc (amlodipine), a calcium channel blocker that is one of a string of products at the firm scheduled to lose patent protection.
But critics have suggested that Caduet is a marketing rather than medical innovation, and sales uptake has been slow. In the first nine months of the year, Caduet's worldwide sales reached just $121 million, a tiny fraction of Norvasc's $3.46 billion turnover and the $8.83 billion achieved by Lipitor, Pfizer's atorvastatin brand.
Caduet was first approved in the USA in June 2004 [[24/06/04b]], and has also been cleared in a number of European countries, including France, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Iceland, Luxembourg, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
However, Pfizer has now decided to withdraw its application for Caduet in Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Finland, and Greece.
The other products facing generic competition include the antifungal agent Diflucan (fluconazole), antibiotic Zithromax (azithromycin) the epilepsy drug Neurontin (gabapentin) and the antidepressant Zoloft (sertraline) [[01/12/04a]]). All told, $14 billion in annual revenues are under threat, according to the company.
Facing US probe
Meanwhile, Pfizer also divulged yesterday that it is under investigation by the US Department of Justice over payments to physicians for prescription drug prescribing, without going into details.
The DoJ is also investigating a contractual relationship between Pharmacia – which merged with Pfizer in 2002 - and an unidentified "health care intermediary," according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchanges Commission.
The DoJ probe into Pfizer is just the latest in a series of investigations into the pharmaceutical industry's pricing, sales and promotion activities, affecting some of the biggest names in the Industry. The Department is already in the middle of investigating price-fixing allegations [[08/06/05c]], and in recent months subpoenaed Sanofi-Aventis [[13/04/05f]], GlaxoSmithKline [[10/03/05a]] and Merck & Co [[10/08/04d]].

You are here: Home Films How Music Makes Us Feel
Many people turn to music when words are not enough, at funerals and weddings, at times of heartbreak and euphoria. It seems to hold more emotion and go deeper than words.
Musicians as varied as Emeli Sande, who enthralled the world when she sang at the Olympics, opera diva Jessye Norman, dubstep artist Mala and modern classical composer George Benjamin explain how music makes them feel. Alan Yentob also talks to a vicar, a psychologist, a Hollywood composer, an adman and even the people who choose the music played in shopping malls. He sees babies dance to a rhythm, and old people brought forth from silence by the power of music.

Ed Clancy out of Great Britain team for European Track Championships
Last Updated: 30/09/15 10:16am
Ed Clancy will not ride for Great Britain at the European Track Championships
Two-time Olympic champion Ed Clancy has been ruled out of contention for the Great Britain squad for October's European Track Championships with a slipped disc.
The 30-year-old will not be available for the event in Grenchen, Switzerland, which takes place from October 14-18, as a result of picking up the injury in training, British Cycling has announced.
Men's endurance coach Heiko Salzwedel said: "It's one of those freak accidents. He just turned to pick up his bag and his disc slipped.
"This means that his hopes for the European Championships, which were supposed to be his highlight for world championship qualification, are now over.
"We've discussed it and his participation has been ruled out."
Sir Bradley Wiggins is likely to return to the team pursuit squad, which Clancy is also in, after missing last week's British Championships in Manchester through illness.

Chi-Raq Trailer
On his latest project, director Spike Lee creates an current day version of Aristophanes' ancient Greek play Lysistrata.
Samuel L. Jackson's character narrates us through the story 'Welcome to Chi-raq, land Of Pain, misery and strife' and tells the viewers how this particular story came to life. After the accidental death of a child by a gun shot, the ladies of a neighbourhood in Chicago (which garnered the epithet Chi-raq for its similarities to Iraq) decided to take matters into their own hands.
One woman, Lysistrata, has an idea, a battle cry of her own, but one to unite the women of Chicago in a bid to stop their men from 'bangin' and slingin', flightin' for the flag and risking that long zipper on a cadaver bag.'

As Superman he has the power to destroy the world and, even though he would never dream of it, the world wants him gone. Even his efforts to become the ultimate hero go unappreciated, in particular by his Gotham rival Bruce Wayne; a billionaire vigilante known as Batman by night. He believes Superman is to blame for all the horror the Earth has been faced with, and vows to take him despite his limited abilities. It isn't long before the two are forced to unite, however, in order to protect the citizens of Earth from a real threat that could prove to thrust the planet into oblivion.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Teaser Trailer
When an alien lifeform crashed to Earth decades ago, no one noticed. When his own kind came after him, the fate of the world was threatened. When he saved mankind, they looked up to him like a God. But times have changed, and people have died since his arrival. The world has had enough of the "false God" Superman (Henry Cavill), but there is already another hero in the world. In Gotham City, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) has spent years and billions of dollars making himself into the greatest detective and the finest crime fighter. But the Batman knows that one does not simply arrive to a thunderous applause. He has earned his role as judge and jury, and it is up to him to stop the Man of Steal.

Man Of Steel Trailer
Clark Kent is a young reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper. He was adopted when he was a child after planetary disaster caused him to be sent down to Earth when his home planet Krypton was destroyed. His adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, brought him up in the rural town of Smallville in Kansas. Throughout his life, his super-abilities isolated him from the rest of the population; he had to make a choice about what kind of man he wanted to become equipped with these powers. Naturally, he transforms himself into the Superman, a new found alter-ego, and uses his astonishing faculties to defend the planet when it comes under attack from an evil force that could prove to be a match for his abilities.

Suspect Zero Review
By Sean O'Connell
I suspect that zero is moderately close to the number of viewers who will be impressed with Suspect Zero. Another by-the-book serial killer thriller that uses David Fincher's Seven as its guide, Zero takes a clever premise and buries it beneath layers of substandard detective clichés and crude camera tricks meant to deceive us. It's so desperate to keep us in the dark for as long as physically possible that it finally begins to lose its own way.
The mouse in this stock cat and mouse game is disgraced FBI agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart), a dedicated G-man with a high-profile blemish on his service record. His grievous error on a previous case earned him a demotion to the Bureau's dead-end Albuquerque office, though it's not long before Mackelway's hot on the trail of another cold-blooded killer. This wandering murderer (Ben Kingsley) exhibits no motive and establishes no pattern to his killings, but enjoys faxing Mackelway clues to drag the investigator deeper into a series of perplexing mind games.

The Matrix Reloaded Review
By Rob Blackwelder
Here's your review of "The Matrix Reloaded" in a nutshell: One incredibly cool, gravity-defying, CGI-aided, swirling-camera kung-fu melee; one jaw-dropping, 100-mph, against-traffic freeway chase; and way, way too much long-winded, expository, circular, self-important, pseudo-philosophical yappity-yappity-yap.
Writing-directing brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski saddle their cast with endless equivocal prattle while toiling to buttress the complex plot and metaphysical undertone of this picture's uber-stylish 1999 predecessor, which saw what we think is the real world exposed as an elaborate virtual reality prison for the minds of all humanity. Mankind's suspended bodies provide a power source for a race of machines, which a small band of escapees are hoping to destroy in the post-apocalyptic world outside the Matrix.
"We can never see past the choices we don't understand," sage but elusive cyber-prophet The Oracle (Gloria Foster) preaches cryptically to Neo (Keanu Reeves), the cyber-Messianic hero whose realization that physical laws don't apply in the Matrix led to the first film's groundbreaking wire-work martial arts fights and bullet-dodging slow-mo stunts.

Love & Basketball Review
An inspired labor of love about sports and romance in which the female lead is an athlete, too, "Love and Basketball" is one for the "why didn't anybody think of this before?" file.
For decades, the women in sports movies have to settle for being glorified cheerleaders while the men took all the glory as athletic heroes of various varieties. But writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood sets this picture in the world of college basketball where the couple in question (played by Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan) are both gifted ball players.
It's an idea whose time has definitely come, and what's more it makes for swell dramatic conflict since Quincy (Epps) has it easy as a heavily-recruited wunderkind and Monica (Lathan) is frustrated in her second-string role on the school's much-neglected women's team.

I have been in the real estate industry since 2002, and actually starting out as an appraiser. Before that however, I worked as a residential concrete finisher; which I started as a summer job when I was 13 and over the years worked my way to become a lead foreman. As both a residential appraiser and concrete finisher, the housing and market experience I've gained has truly been an asset. Shortly after acquiring my appraiser's license, I went on to become a Real Estate Broker. Since then it's been a passion of mine to help families and individuals who are buying, selling, relocating, or investing.
In 2004 I purchased my first investment property and then in 2005 I bought my first primary home. Since then I've had over 20+ investment properties including: rentals, lease options, fixer flips, new construction, and vacation rentals. In 2012, I had the opportunity to feature and host a home on HGTV's "Million Dollar Rooms".
I've lived in the Puget Sound area all my life. In 2008 I married my beautiful bride on the beach in Maui. We have two amazing boys and a little girl who's our princess!
I absolutely insist on enjoying life and having fun! I love being around and meeting new people. I also love investing in people & making a difference in the lives of others. Which is why I love to give back to my community and the world by giving my time, energy and resources to local & overseas missions.
Mission to Jamaica – We're Here to Help!
This last August a group of us teamed with missionaries and Latin American Child Care in order to help a church that is located in the outskirts of Kingston Jamaica. Our team was there for a total of 10 days and consisted of carpenters, engineers, brick layers, photographers and just every day common people (like myself!). During our stay we worked on an addition to the school & church. The purpose of this addition was to allow room for more of a multi-purpose area, along with picnic benches and also a kitchen! And once completed it gave the children a place to eat their lunch, have outdoor classes, a shaded area for playtime, parent teacher events, and so much more!
However, the construction of this project wasn't only because of our team, we also worked with local contractors and people like ourselves who lived in the community this school/church was located in. It was great! We witnessed an entire Jamaican community help us, as we helped them, build into the future of this school/church. It was amazing to see everyone putting their own needs aside, and working together for not only the families and children of this community, but for generations to come!
I teamed up with recording artist Jamie Bonife and her band "Called 2 Serve", and was fortunate enough to go along and spend a portion of my summer with them. We toured throughout WA and went to youth camp after youth camp. We spent our time investing our lives, hoping to make a lasting impression upon theirs. Like all teens, they seemed to be longing for something more as they faced the daily struggles, confusion, and uncertainties that being a teenager can seem to bring.
Jamie is not like most recording artists, and her band is not like most bands. Jamie and her band members all have a true heart for people and go out of their way to serve. They were on a mission all summer long, and didn't rest until they reached the goal of what they set out to do. They wanted to help make a difference in the lives of teenagers and shed a ray of hope upon every person they encountered. The band's music is very positive, appealing, and memorable; but it also has a real edge to it. They are a great band with a lot of talent, bottom line they rock!
But it wasn't just their music that they brought with them to help mentor and be an example to these kids; they brought themselves. They took themselves off the stage and went out to where the kids were. They became cabin leaders, a voice to listen too, a shoulder to cry on, and an encouraging word. They put it upon themselves to help lift up every person who may have needed help or was going through a tough time.
We traveled throughout the state, visited many different youth camps, and helped mentor and encourage hundreds of students! We helped them change their lives for the better and make lasting commitments. I feel as if I didn't just help them and these kids we were mentoring, but that they too helped me. It's a funny thing when you realize, that we are all just people. All people have needs, want to find love, can hit a low point and go through a rough time. But all people can experience the joys life brings, and simply want someone to share those experiences with. That's what Jamie Bonife and her band Called 2 Serve are all about. Helping people make life long commitments of living on purpose and not giving up! And I feel privileged to be a part of that calling.

Ironclad Coffee Embodies Community
Coffee shops have long embraced the role of community stewards – cultivating welcoming spaces where neighbors can gather together for conversation; work alongside each other in quiet camaraderie; or simply enjoy an expertly crafted beverage.
For Shockoe Bottom's Ironclad Coffee Roasters, which celebrated its first anniversary this summer, this role is something they've truly taken to heart as evidenced in part by the neighborhood trash pickups the coffee parlor organizes the last Saturday of each month. But it's also uniquely fitting, given the café's home in a former firehouse because, after all, there are few greater stewards of the community than first responders.
Tucked into the renovated former home of the No. 2 Hook and Ladder Company on East Grace Street, Ironclad still retains its unmistakable sense of place. Originally commissioned in 1884, the historic building still boasts that giveaway garage door which used to welcome fire engines but today is rolled up whenever the weather allows – in what is perhaps the best example of an open door policy, allowing guests to fluidly move in an out of the space. Artwork, archival photos, and relics of yesteryear – including vintage ladders – adorn the exposed brick walls. An antique shoeshine bench, the original from Richmond's Jefferson Hotel, stands guard just behind the coffee bar, allowing guests an $8 shoeshine, complete with a complimentary cup of coffee, while sitting where such legends as Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, and Elvis Presley are purported to have sat while swing, blues, and jazz tunes, reminiscent of another era, dance through the more than 130 year old building.
Inspired by his five years spent living in Europe, and what he felt was missing from that experience, founder Ryan O'Rourke began Ironclad with a commitment to providing both an outstanding product as well as exceptional customer service.
The coffee roasted and brewed by Ironclad has been thoughtfully sourced from growers and farms that prioritize ethics and sustainability, and above all else, quality. The beverage options range from single origin coffees for the purists, to specialty lattes with flavors ranging from lavender vanilla to seasonal favorites including pumpkin spice and gingerbread, to the new cookie milk latte made with cookies from Pearl's Bake Shoppe.
As Ironclad has grown, so too has their culinary menu options. In the beginning the café offered a modest but tempting selection of baked goods sourced through local bakeries, but quickly expanded into breakfast sandwiches, and with the addition of a kitchen, a lineup of lunch offerings as well.
In its one year, Ironclad has hosted everything from yoga pop-ups in the mezzanine and side courtyard, to makers markets, live music, and Santa visits – finding its footing as a welcoming community living room in one of Richmond's most historic districts.
Ironclad Coffee Roasters is located at 1804 East Grace Street.

The Marian Vow of Unlimited Consecration to the Immaculate
Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli, FI — 2010-01-01
A Spiritual Profile
Author: Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli, FI
Publisher: Academy of the Immaculate
A book that gives a profound explanation of how one can relate with the Immaculate by means of "the Marian Vow" of total consecration to the Immaculate that is transformative and life-changing. This book is a treatise on total consecration to the Immaculate, conceived initially by St. Maximilian M. Kolbe and has developed into the distinctive charism of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. Such charism finds its consummation in the profession of this Marian consecration in the form of a religious vow, known as, "The Marian Vow." Finding its original inspiration in St. Maximilian Kolbe who envisioned of a "fourth vow" of consecration that puts no limit to the missionary work of the religious, Fr. Stefano Manelli, the founder of the Franciscans of the Immaculate continued with the same inspiration and develop it to include both Marian and missionary character. This book is the theological and ascetical explanation of this Marian Vow. The book is not, by all means, exclusive to the Franciscans of the Immaculate. One can find universal insights based on solid spiritual theology of how one can relate in a more personal way with the Immaculate who ceases to be just a mere figure of veneration; she becomes alive and present to one's soul in a unique way that is transformative and life-changing. This book is utterly unique and inspired. As the Founder and Father General of the entire family of the Franciscans of the Immaculate (Friars, Sisters, Poor Clares, Tertiaries, and M.I.M.), Fr. Stefano has distilled, and put into writing for his children, the illumination he has received about the Marian Vow over the past decades. This work is the fruit of his life of prayer, study, and missionary activity. It is the fruit of his profound union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Fatima for Today
Andrew Apostoli — 2010 Religion
The Urgent Marian Message of Hope
Author: Andrew Apostoli
"For us, Fatima is a sign of the presence of faith, of the fact that it is precisely from the little ones that faith gains new strength, one which is not limited to the little ones but has a message for the entire world and touches history here and now, and sheds light on this history."--- Pope Benedict XVI "As was so dramatically obvious during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Fatima in May 2010. Our Lady's apparitions in 1917 remain powerfully compelling for us today. There she was an evangelist, calling us to prayer, conversion of heart, and penance, pointing to Jesus and repeating her words at Cana, `Do whatever He tells you.' This book brings it all home."--- Most Reverend Timothy Dolan Archbishop of New York "Learn, live, and spread the message of Fatima! This is the express desire of Pope Benedict XVI. And Pope John Paul II once stated that the message of Fatima was more important now than in 1917! That is why this wonderful book on Fatima is so important. Fr. Apostoli has recaptured this heavenly message of urgency and hope for a new generation. Our world needs the message of Fatima more than ever, and I pray that many people are brought back to Jesus, Mary, and the Church through these pages."--- Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC Author, No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy "Fr. Apostoli's book tells us all we need to know about Our Lady's apparitions to the three children in Portugal in 1917. His brief and objective presentation of the facts surrounding the divine revelation not only informs the mind, but also moves the will to embrace and carry out the message of Fatima---prayer and penance---for the salvation of souls and world peace. The message is clear---pray the Rosary every day and offer up some sacrifices for the salvation of sinners and in reparation for sins against God and the Immaculate Heart of Mary."--- Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J. Author, Inside the Bible "In a manner which is most accessible and, at the same time, complete and accurate. Father Apostoli helps us to know the maternal instruction of Our Lady of Fatima and, following it, to know and `savor', in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, the mystery of divine love in our lives."--- Raymond Cardinal Burke Though the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima took place almost a hundred years ago, Our Lady's call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to three Portuguese peasant children in 1917. At the peak of World War I, Our Lady warned us of another possible worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church, unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia. Much of what Our Lady of Fatima said was revealed soon after her appearances, but the third and final "secret", which was not a message but a prophetic vision seen by the children, was not unveiled by the Vatican until 2000. Pope John Paul II, who read the third secret while recovering from the attempt upon his life in 1981, believed the vision signified the sufferings the Church had endured in the twentieth century. Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, the story of Our Lady of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. In this book, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, acclaimed expert on Fatima, carefully analyzes the events and messages at Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meaning. He also challenges the reader to hear anew the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God.

Rajiv Dixit (30 November 1967 – 30 November 2010) was an Indian activist who promoted ayurveda and opposed allopathic medicine and opposed multi-national corporations.

He completed his elementary and middle school education in Faizabad. In 1994 he went to Allahabad for higher education, but became an activist before completing his education.Rajiv Dixit was the national secretary of Bharat Swabhiman Trust.

Career
Dixit founded the "Azadi Bachao Andolan" (Save Freedom Movement) in the early 1990s as a campaign to protect Indian industries, at a time when multi-national corporations were increasing their presence in India as a part of a trend towards globalisation. An aide to Ramdev, Dixit served as the national secretary of Ramdev's anti-corruption organisation Bharat Swabhiman Andolan.

During his career as an activist, Dixit demanded decentralisation of the Indian taxation system, stating that the existing system was the core reason for bureaucratic corruption. He claimed that 80 percent of tax revenue was used to pay the salaries of politicians and bureaucrats and compared the modern budget system of the Indian government to the earlier British budget system in India.
He tried to bring educational reforms in India.

Death
Dixit died on 30 November 2010 in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. After a lecture at Bemetra in Durg, he was accompanied by Daya Sagar, a local Bharat Swabhiman Andolan officer, while driving to Bhilai. During the trip he felt uncomfortable and sweated.   At Daya Sagar's residence, he fell down in the bathroom. Initially he insisted on not going to the doctor. After a call from Baba Ramdev, he was first taken to Sector 9 Hospital in Bhilai and then transferred to the BSR Apollo Hospital. According to Dr. Dilip Ratnani, he died of a massive heart attack at night between 1 and 2 AM. On Dec 1, his body was sent by air to Aligarh without an autopsy. His body was displayed at Patanjali Yogapita and later cremated with mukhagni lit by his brother Pradip Dixit and Baba Ramdev. Later the Prime Minister's Office ordered an investigation into his death in 2019.

There is a belief among his followers that he was poisoned to death because of his movement against multinational companies in India and other countries. Some of his supporters claimed foul play by Baba Ramdev, but Ramdev dismissed the claims
