Malaysia's AirAsia looks to delivery services as ticket out of aviation woes
Hot News, malaysia
By jessie tan Hot News, malaysia Airasia, Covid-19, Malaysia, News 0 Comments
With air travel crippled by the Covid-19 pandemic, AirAsia led by its founder Tony Fernandes – often touted as the "Richard Branson of Asia" – has been vigorously stepping up the budget carrier's year-long diversification plan.
As the pandemic's true extent became apparent last May, the Malaysia-based regional budget carrier launched a food delivery business in Kuala Lumpur that gained traction among citizens who were at the time under a strict partial lockdown.
The endeavour has since expanded to other Malaysian cities and neighbouring Singapore, with ventures in other hubs in Southeast Asia expected soon.
Also in the works, according to recent interviews by Fernandes, are plans for offshoots in ride-hailing fresh grocery delivery air taxis, and drone delivery services.
Fernandes has long touted AirAsia's large digital customer base that he hoped would make it a "super app" much in the mould of regional behemoth Grab.
Last week, Bloomberg reported that the company plans to raise as much as US$300 million (S$97 million) to expand the airline's digital business arm, AirAsia Digital.
In an interview with The Edge Malaysia published on Sunday (April 4), Fernandes said his hope was to become "the best delivery guy in town".
And in the face of a public health crisis that has ravaged its business – the company recently announced that it posted a record net loss of 2.44 billion ringgit (S$791 million)in the October-December quarter – the maverick businessman has maintained his trademark optimism.
"[There are] two ways to deal with life, you can put your head in the sand and cry and say life is unfair. Or we can go ahead and do something about it," Fernandes said. "Why waste a crisis? We haven't wasted this crisis."
Industry observers who spoke to This Week in Asia acknowledged that AirAsia, like most of the world's airlines, faces a long runway back to normalcy.
Intense competition from regional players like Indonesia's Lion Air and the Singapore Airlines-owned Scoot had already been putting pressure on the company before the pandemic.
In the interim period, however, the experts said the budget carrier's intensive efforts to reposition itself "as more than an airline" was one to watch, adding that it could be a model for other players with similar digital reach.
The premise behind AirAsia's varied latest forays is simple: as Southeast Asia's pre-eminent budget carrier, it claims to have the know-how, digital infrastructure and a 60 million-plus customer base to take on established players in the gig economy sector.
Touting its potential, Fernandes has said the AirAsia super-app will have a US$250 million turnover this year.
Nungsari Ahmad Radhi, a former chairman of Malaysia's regulator for civil aviation, said he understood AirAsia's rationale for seeking to expand its wings "horizontally and vertically" from its core airline business.
"They have brand recognition and a sizeable existing customer base," he said
Frederik Paulus, economic adviser to the local think tank Research for Social Advancement, agreed, saying AirAsia's "experience operating in a low-margin environment and focus on costs make them a credible competitor".
Paulus said AirAsia's purported entry into ride-hailing – revealed by Fernandes in the interview with The Edge – could also have benefits for drivers who currently have little power to negotiate their pay and other benefits given the limited number of players. The ride-hailing business in Southeast Asia is dominated by Grab, which took over Uber's regional operations in 2018.
For Nungsari and others, the big question remains whether the earnings from AirAsia's nascent digital ventures can keep the company afloat if normal travel remains suspended for the foreseeable future.
In the interview with The Edge, Fernandes himself conceded that this was not the case. "Am I doing digital to cover the gap? No," he said, when asked if the new revenue stream would close the gap caused by fallen earnings.
"We're doing digital because there's an opportunity. Do I think the gap will be covered eventually, of airlines? It's impossible to say digital is going to cover the gap now. Impossible."
He added: "The gap in the airline business needs to be covered by the airline business … It is an opportunity to diversify the business, and diversify earnings, and utilise resources such as people, data, websites, to build a new business and build an ecosystem."
Nungsari said his concern was that the company's airline business remained "a mess".
The resilience of the carrier thus "depends on what sort of cash reserves they have and how much more they can raise", the economist said.
Ultimately, a more immediate concern for AirAsia should be speed at which travel resumes in the region, others who monitor the aviation industry say.
The budget carrier predicts that resumption will begin some time in the second half of 2021, leading to a "full recovery" of its business within two years.
Yeah Kim Leng, an economist with Sunway University in Kuala Lumpur, said "the still high infection rates and slow pace of vaccinations in many Asian countries suggest that the aviation industry in this region will continue to languish at least until 2022".
In the meantime, "regional cooperation to allow border openings and travel bubbles may alleviate cash flow problems and ease bankruptcy risks but not likely to restore industry-wide financial health", he added.
Others like Faizal Yahya, a senior research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies in Singapore, believe travel will not return to 2019 levels until at least 2024
"There is every reason to believe that air travel will never be the same again as what it was before Covid-19," he wrote in a commentary on the CNA website this month.
And in such a scenario, it is likely that the AirAsias of the industry – which are consolidating and pivoting to new sectors either permanently or temporarily – will be the ones still afloat in the long term.
"In other words, in order to survive as an airline still in business come 2024, airlines can't be airlines for a little while," Yahya said.

← How Does Gold Fare During Hyperinflationary Periods?
Celebrating Independence Day with Gratitude →
Violating the Promptings of the Economy
Posted on June 29, 2012 by MN Gordon
High on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
— Frank Sinatra
Today we're in San Francisco working, observing, writing and taking pause with our wife and son to ride cable cars up and down Powell Street, traverse through the city's varying districts – like Chinatown, North Beach, SoMa and Fisherman's Warf – and eat fresh crab and pasta. What follows are some ruminations on the City's beginnings, gold, Jack London, and much, much, more…
The First Day of the California Gold Rush
On January 24, 1848, James W. Marshall stepped out from Sutter's Mill and peered down the American River, in Coloma, California. In the distance he saw a glimmer along the river bank twinkling back at him. What could it be?
"I picked up one or two pieces and examined them attentively," recounted Marshall. "I then collected four or five pieces and went to Mr. Scott (who was working at the carpenters bench making the mill wheel) with the pieces in my hand and said, 'I have found it.'"
'"What is it?' inquired Scott.
'"Gold,' I answered."
There's no way Marshall could have known it at the time, but his discovery marked the first day of the California Gold Rush. From that day forward, California would never be the same. In fact, the effects of the Gold Rush completely transformed the State and its cities. Between 1846 and 1852, for instance, San Francisco's population boomed from 200 residents to about 36,000.
But not all newcomers found what they were looking for…
Wealth In, Not Out
Following Marshall's find, treasure seekers rapidly descended on the area to collect their fortunes. In total, billions upon billions worth of gold was discovered, which brought instant prosperity to some. But the vast majority never acquired enough gold to substantially improve their wealth.
Those who really made money were the suppliers. Take Samuel Brannan. Just as the gold rush began he purchased all the prospecting supplies in San Francisco and opened the first supply store in Coloma. Thus, having cornered the market, he re-sold the supplies at a substantial profit.
Likewise, Levi Strauss made his fortune not by panning for gold…but by selling denim overalls to those panning for gold. Others found affluence with shipping, lodging, and saloons. The gold rush also brought significant investment to transportation infrastructure including the first transcontinental railroad, the Panama railway, and regular steamship service from San Francisco to Panama.
No doubt, the abundance of investment and human capital brought wealth to California. However, the abundance of gold leaving California and finding its way into the global gold denominated money supply did not bring new wealth and abundance to the world. How come?
Pondering this apparent paradox, 19th century English economist and logician, William Stanley Jevons, in 1884, astutely asked the question: "Have the Gold Discoveries added to the Wealth of the World?"
"If we take wealth to be that which is agreeable and useful to mankind, it may be safely said that the mere gold produced by Australia and California represents a great and almost dead loss of labour," explained Jevons.
"A century or more ago it was the fashion to consider gold and silver as the only wealth, because it happened to be the measures and vehicles of wealth. Now it is more correctly seen that gold is one of the last things which can be considered wealth in itself, and that in its most useful employment as money, the very scarcity of gold is its recommendation, rendering the value greater, and the weight or quantity to be carried as money less.
"To over-estimate the indirect effects of these discoveries in creating new colonies, in spreading the English people and language, and in newly animating commerce, is not easy. But in itself gold-digging has ever seemed to me almost a dead loss of labour as regards the world in general – a wrong against the human race, just such as is that of a Government against its people, in over-issuing and depreciating its own currency."
In short, this new addition of money, while it required substantial human effort to extract, had the same effect as today's monetary stimulus. The money supply rapidly increased but the world's stock of wealth didn't budge. Instead, and as we'll discover over the coming years, prices adjusted upward to account for the new money.
"One cannot violate the promptings of one's nature without having that nature recoil upon itself," wrote San Francisco native Jack London, in White Fang. Naturally, London wasn't describing the propensity of central bankers to inflate the money supply. Nonetheless, he identified an instructive natural axiom.
The Federal Reserve, in violation of the promptings of the economy, has tripled its balance sheet over the last four years…creating nearly three times more money than they created in their prior 95 years of existence. Most of this money, however, has disappeared into the electronic vaults of the financial system; it has not made it into circulation within the economy. At some point, perhaps when the economy improves and bank loans increase, this pent-up money will work its way through the economy at an accelerating velocity.
What we mean is, sometime over the next several years prices will by-and-large adjust upward and, in doing so, will distort and recoil the economy in ways that today are hardly imaginable. Certainly, you can count on us to report on this transformation as we watch it unfold every step of the way.

Hackers Attack Lady Gaga's Internet Site, Fans' Information Exposed
A hackers' group, "Swagger Security" reportedly hacked the website of Lady Gaga, the famous musician and singer, stealing personal information of innumerable fans on June 27, 2011 reported Eweekeurope on July 18, 2011.
According to Universal Music, the record label of Lady Gaga, the British website's intruders filched one database of contract addresses along with a page with records of e-mail and full names, while leaving financial information and passwords untouched.
Disturbingly, the theft of e-mail ids and names could allow attackers to compromise the e-mail accounts of users of this website.
Security researchers claimed that plentiful admirers of Lady Gaga who have lost their e-mail ids to the hackers were chanced with being targeted with malware assaults or phishing scams. Thus, an e-mail could seem to carry photographs and information related to Gaga, while actually delivering nasty malware.
According to Rob Rachwald, Director of Security Strategy at Imperva, the actual motive behind a hacking operation is stealing the data. While explaining the matter, Rachwald claimed that the incident has not resulted in the theft of any financial data. E-mails are continuously arriving to fans presenting distinctive music, pictures and videos of the singer while actually distributing malicious software, as published on July 18, 2011.
Further according to Rachwald, the above strategy is one of the extremely fine tactics for disseminating malware as users receive one unopened video file of Lady Gaga. Senior Technology Consultant, Graham Cluley at Sophos, explained that though it was true that the watchdog officials must be notified about Swagger Security's criminal operations, it was simultaneously necessary for Gaga HQ to recognize that the Internet site possibly was not doing the least towards safeguarding its admirers' privacy.
Researchers stated that hacking attacks of the aforementioned type are extremely prevalent nowadays. Albeit such attacks may not expose any financial data and the like, yet it's essential to protect oneself from such attacks.
As such, researchers recommend netizens to update anti-virus software on their computers and safeguard themselves from malicious software.

Views of a pleasant courtyard and ponds are there to be enjoyed at the Gateway Executive Park Center. Situated in the desirable and affluent Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, the center has access to some 5,000 businesses in the area, employing more than 80,000 people from a highly educated workforce. Nearby Schaumburg Regional Airport is the 113-acre home of numerous aviation-related businesses involved in aircraft charters, flight training, aircraft maintenance, local news helicopters, and other aviation-related activity. The airport is used heavily for business trips. While the center has much to offer on its doorstep, the wider Chicago Metropolitan District is also a major manufacturing area. It is also well placed for access to the financial and commercial hub of downtown Chicago, which is one of the largest futures markets in the world.


Posted on April 01, 2015 in Code.
I enjoy picking up new programming languages, and love the freedom to create things for different platforms. I've been wanting to learn to code native iOS and Mac OS apps for a fair while now, and have recently been using Treehouse to learn Objective-C.
Their courses are easy to follow, concise, and presented by people who actually understand the language they are teaching. In a few short weeks I've picked up plenty; taking the time to understand the core of C, then Objective-C, the Interface Builder, and build example apps similar to Magic 8 balls, Snapchat, and RSS Readers has exposed me to all sorts of parts of the iOS API.
I'm paying $25 per month for Treehouse and it's worth every penny. Previously I've taught myself new programming languages by tinkering, reading websites, or using books. But to have a clearly defined course to work through, with a user base that can contact the teacher at any time is a huge time saver.
I've just finished building a native iPhone app to control my shed, and am looking forward to getting started on a game soon. Before then though more learning!

All about NFL All about New England Patriots
Ex-NFL quarterbacks: AFC East rivals don't have a chance against Patriots in 2019

The former signal-callers agree that the Patriots will dominate the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins.

Patriots: AFC East former QBs don't think Bills, Jets, & Dolphins stand much chance - Video
Four former NFL quarterbacks believe that the New England Patriots will still dominate the AFC East next season despite the emergence of young quarterbacks in the division. Don Bank, a featured columnist of Patriots.com, talked to former quarterbacks who are now working as analysts in different networks to get their take on the challenge to the Patriots' reign in the AFC East. In his column, Bank said Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, Dan Orlovsky and Matt Hasselback all agreed that the Patriots will dominate the division in 2019 behind the 41-year-old Tom Brady.
Earlier, it was perceived that the Patriots will be heavily challenged by the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, who are all powered by quarterbacks who were picked in the top ten of the 2018 NFL Draft. The Dolphins traded with the Arizona Cardinals for signal-caller Josh Rosen, who was taken as the 10th overall selection last year. The Jets have Sam Darnold, whom they selected third overall, while the Bills will start Josh Allen, the seventh overall pick last year.
Esiason says Patriots still kings of the AFC East
When asked if the Jets, Bills and Dolphins have the chance to narrow the gap between them and the Patriots in the AFC East with the help of their respective franchise quarterbacks, Esiason answered in the negative. According to Esiason, this will all boil down to the coaching situations in Buffalo, New York and Miami. Esiason said the Dolphins will need to adjust to the system of new mentor Brian Flores, whom they pried away from the Patriots in the offseason.
"The Jets' Adam Gase is in a rebound coaching situation. (Buffalo's) Sean McDermott is great, but none of them are Bill Belichick," said Esiason.
In terms of quarterbacks, Esiason said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick still has the edge because of Brady. "But as long as Brady and Belichick are together, the valley between them and the rest of the coaches, especially in the AFC East, is significant," Esiason stressed.
Simms, for his part, said that while these young quarterbacks may help their teams, it won't be enough to unseat the Patriots from their AFC East throne. Earlier, Gase declared that he will go after the Patriots' throne, but later retracted his statement.
Young quarterbacks don't stand a chance
Orlovsky, for his part, said that the young signal-callers of the Bills, Jets and Dolphins won't have a chance against Brady.
While they are good signal callers, Darnold, Allen and Rosen still have a lot to learn, especially when matched up against Brady.
Hasselback echoed Orlovsky's statement, saying the Bills, Jets and Dolphins cannot challenge the Patriots' momentum after winning their sixth Super Bowl title. "How about one of those teams has a winning record before we start talking about them challenging the defending Super Bowl champs for the division title?" said Hasselback.
The ESPN analyst said that of the three, the Dolphins have the biggest chance of making it to the playoffs through the Wild Card road.

Vice Premier Dmitry Rogozin and the governor visited the Uralvagonzavod plant in Nizhny Tagil, where the legendary T-90 tanks are produced. Rogozin took a ride in a T-90A MBT, fired off several rounds, and was satisfied with the tank. The Vice Premier got to ride not only heavy armored vehicles, but light ones, as well, such as this motorcycle, and even took some passengers with him. Rogozin stated that these proving grounds are to become Russia's center for testing and demonstrating new armored vehicles and that the grounds will be expanded and modernized. In addition, these grounds are where foreign tankers will be trained to use Russian tanks. "We have a huge export potential and we will expand it, and we will teach foreign crews to use the tanks here, who will then become instructors in the countries that operate our tanks," stated Dmitry Rogozin. 23 trillion rubles will be allocated from the federal budget for the modernization of the Russian army. At least 10% of that money will go to the Uralvagonzavod plant.

Q: is there something similar to $templateCache for images? When building with gulp, there is a plugin to take html code from any source directory and embed it into a .js file and use $templatecache
the code snippet for this is
var partialsInjectFile = gulp.src(path.join(conf.paths.tmp,
    '/partials/templateCacheHtml.js'), { read: false });

gulp.src(path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/serve/*.html'))

.pipe($.inject(partialsInjectFile, partialsInjectOptions))

I was looking for something similar but for images. I have a bower component that has some image assets, but when I build my app for bower distribution, I lose the images (or the url for that image)
How do people repackage third-party assets for use in their packaged app ?
thanks

A: Please check here: https://github.com/dabit3/angular-easy-image-preloader  . If you load the images in your home controller or during initialization you should not have any delays anymore.

A: You have options to:

*

*repackage assets by hand to your folder of images

*modify gulp/grunt (whatever) build script to copy assets from bower to your selected folder

Whatever you choose to do, at the end of day, make a sprite image (image of all images) and reference that in your styles/htmls. (sometimes you have to override some third-party styles).
Anyway hacking can't be avoided to achieve synergy. ;)

Gutter cleaning is not the most liked job that needs to be done around your home, often you leave it to the last minute and end up being on the roof when it is wet and raining, trying to unblock down pipes and clear debris from your gutters. Seek professional advice and quotes and consider doing the job yourself in comparison to the price you may save and the hassle of cleaning your own gutters.
Lowly maintained gutters could also add disarray to your once-lovely house especially when it is the onset of the rainy season. Gutter cleaning prevents peeled off paint on your walls from surfacing. Moreover, it lessens the probability of decayed wood that could also weaken the foundation in your house and lessen the likeliness of termite infestation too.
Gutter cleaning also thwarts the scenario of having flooded basements and mold growth in your house.

Q: Is there a way to put the same control in different tabs using C#? Is there a way to put the same control in different tabs using C#?

A: No. Any control can only have a single parent. What would be the control's location if it were in two places, too?
I would suggest you have two controls which have a common "core" object which contains everything you genuinely want to share between the two controls.

A: You cannot place the same instance of a control in two different tabs, but you could create a custom user control that contains the controls you want in each tab, then populate each tab with an instance of that user control.
Microsoft's walkthrough on creating custom user controls is quite good, in my opinion.

Dynamic lane brings benefits and problems
Posted at 4:47pm Tuesday 03 Sep, 2019
While Auckland Transport is trumpeting the success of its dynamic lane for commuters, it was always going to be problematic for those living on that stretch of road.
The system has operated on Whangaparaoa Road, between Hibiscus Coast Highway and Red Beach Road, since the end of January last year. It allows lanes to be adjusted to improve traffic flow in the morning and afternoon peak.
There is no doubt it achieved that aim – recent figures released by Auckland Transport (AT) show there is less congestion, 2-6 minute travel time savings for commuters and the lanes allow 58 percent more people to pass through the route in a set period of time. AT also calculates that the lanes will save 267,200 litres of fuel per year, as well as 845 tons of CO2 emissions.
Although Faruk and Zabina Ismail understand these benefits, the lanes have made turning into their Whangaparaoa Road property a daily trial that includes being abused and tooted at by drivers behind them.
The couple is also concerned at the speeds and the number of near head-on crashes in the morning peak, including one as a truck tried to turn across the flow of traffic.
Their property is around 50m from John Dee Crescent, on the opposite side, and Faruk says they have asked AT to put in merging lane markings to assist people turning right into John Dee Crescent. He says there are many times when drivers merge too soon, almost crashing into vehicles trying to turn into the Ismails' property.
In addition, a green control box makes it hard for people exiting the Ismails' property to see vehicles coming from the right, and Zabina says crossing the lanes with a walking school bus heading to Red Beach school is hazardous. "It goes like a motorway," she says.
"We understand we live on a busy road, but people go 60 or 70kph, not 50kph along here," Faruk says. "No one is controlling the speed and drivers are ignoring it.
One of AT's engineers came to see us and said everything is fine," he says.
AT spokesperson Mark Hannan says marking a merging lane "may confuse motorists in the morning peak". He says the shape/contour of the berm adjacent to the gantry location means there is no other place to locate the controller cabinet.
At last month's Hibiscus & Bays Local Board meeting, member Caitlin Watson noted the improvements that the dynamic lane has brought to traffic flow, while also asking when the pedestrian improvements that were promised to be added if the lanes became permanent, were likely to be installed.
AT will report back to the local board on this.

The Burns Club of London
History of The Burns Club of London
Colin Rae Brown, who founded the Burns Club of London in 1868, was a native of Greenock and President of its famous Burns Club in 1843. A wealthy newspaper proprietor, he came to London in 1863 and held the first of twelve grand Burns dinners in his Kensington town house with himself as chairman and chief orator. As these celebrations grew in popularity he guided the Club to full maturity. He was also largely responsible for the formation of the Burns Federation in 1885 and as a result of his endeavours our Club is No. 1 on the Federation's worldwide roll.
Italy's great patriot, Garibaldi, was our first Honorary Member. John Gordon Crawford who gifted the Burns Statue on the Embankment was an early member, as was Sir John Steel, sculptor of the Burns bust in Westminster Abbey, unveiled in 1885 by the then Prime Minister, Lord Rosebery. The Club flourished and in l921 finally joined forces with the London Robert Burns Club (Scots). By this time the great William Will was a leading figure not only in the Burns Club but also in every important London Scottish organisation of the period. He founded our Vernacular Circle, a project adopted by many Burns Clubs around the world. He was still active in 1956 at the age of 89 and his influence lives on in our annual William Will Memorial Lecture.
The bicentenary of the Poet's birth was celebrated by a magnificent dinner at the Criterion, with the Rev Dr Scott of St. Columba's Church proposing the 'Immortal Memory'. The Club's own centenary was marked by a grand Hallowe'en Dinner at the Piccadilly Hotel, with Jimmy Mason, who went on to be our Honorary Life President, presiding. Jimmy died on 21 July 2001 at the age of 96. The Burns Federation's Centenary Conference was held in London in 1985 and hosted by the Club. In 1988 we became "twinned" with the London (Ontario) Burns Club.
The passing years have seen many changes in the nature and activities of the Club and we have been privileged in having many distinguished gentlemen - and three ladies - as our Presidents. Demolition of the old Royal Scottish Corporation premises in Fetter Lane left us without a regular home for a time, until we settled down happily in Crown Court Church Hall, where we remained for a dozen years or so. Then, thanks to the efforts of Past President Alex Wilson, we moved to The Caledonian Club in Halkin Street. There we still have on show the famous Thomson Vase, presented to George Thomson, publisher of Burns songs, in 1847. We then returned to the fold of the Royal Scottish Corporation and held most of our meetings in their new premises in King Street, Covent Garden for several years until changes to the interior of the building meant that was no longer feasible. The Caledonian Club has once again become our regular meeting place and it also houses our fine collection of Burns books.
Through the energetic offices of our Past President David Cullens, in 1996 a splendid year was organised by the Club to commemorate the bicentenary of Burns' death. This culminated in a Grand Commemorative Dinner at The Café Royal in July of that year. We recently celebrated the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns with a superb Birthday Festival Dinner at The Caledonian Club and with a memorable service of commemoration in Westminster Abbey on 25th January 2009.

The Indian Army: crisis within
The army may have delivered on its mandate of ensuring the return of an environment more conducive to law and order since more than a decade, in Kashmir. But the recent spate of suicides and fratricides within are showing that the army is under stress, a slide that the political side can and must prevent, says Firdaus Ahmed.

Firdaus Ahmed
03 January 2007 -
The Indian Army has been surprisingly candid in releasing figures of the suicides and fratricides that have wracked the force in the recent past. A report out of Kashmir in the Himal of December 2006 carries the revealing statistics that in October this year there were ten fratricide cases as against only three deaths in combat operations. All told, in the first ten months of the year, the army lost 55 soldiers to terrorism in Kashmir, while one third more took their own lives. It is not a figure that any army would release of its own, since morale related security reasons would have stymied such openness.
That 500 defense personnel have reportedly either committed suicide or were killed by colleagues in the past four years indicates that the problem has crossed the threshold in which it could be treated as internal to the army. The Ministry of Defense has had to write to the Army to act more liberally in the grant of leave to its soldiers as a stress relieving measure. This is the first issue that the newly appointed Minister of Defence, A K Antony, has involved himself with, indicating the concern in South Block.
Illustration: Farzana Cooper
Among the many measures being taken on a war footing include recruitment of 400 psychiatrists by the Army, liberal grant of leave, a missive from the Defence Minister to state governments to act purposefully on complaints from servicemen on problems faced back home etc. Clearly, with the ministry involving itself, the problem, of which suicides and fraggings are but a symptom, has received the attention it deserves, but only along predictable problem solving lines.
Much of the problem owes to its most challenging engagement in Kashmir lasting over the last decade and half. That it has succeeded considerably can be seen from contrasting statistics on annual fatalities of the past two years. These are down on every indicator by about 30-50%. While in 2005 the figures, taken from the website satp.org of a leading think tank, were 1000 and 218 for terrorists and security personnel killed respectively, the figures are 512 and 186 for this year.
The army has apparently delivered on its mandate of ensuring the return of an environment infinitely more conducive to law and order than what it started out with in the early nineties. The symptoms of stress on display are evidence of the strains on its rank and file in this effort. One incentive for its exertion is that the political process would take over after a point and thereby release it from further strain. If the political end game does not get energized now there is the danger of a slide.
For the political leadership to rely only on the army would be an abdication of its responsibility.
• Need for army reform
• Special armed forces violations
The army has repeatedly retrieved the situation after terrorism has got a fresh lease of life due to our own misstep such as the Charar e Sharif episode (the loss of the sufi shrine to fire in an army operation resulted in the assembly elections being put off by a year), or later through Pakistani incitement through its Kargil venture. The army's capacity for such endeavour afresh may be under stress, in light of the strains that beset it at the moment. This should be a consideration informing the political leadership and its bureaucratic advisers in their charting the course of the future.
Though there are no palpable similarities between the situation of the Indian army and of the US army in Vietnam, lessons from the latter experience may be worth recall at this juncture since the term 'fragging' made its first appearance in that war. A landmark study on the Vietnam quagmire was that of Gabriel and Savage 'Cohesion and Disintegration in the American Army' (Journal of Armed Forces and Society, 1976) that culminated in the well-known book 'Crisis in Command' (1978). They make three points. The first was that senior officers did not supervise the junior level to the extent required in countering insurgency since in such operations, tactical actions have political implications. Second, that officer quality was poor in relation to the complexity of the task on hand. Lastly, that the system of rotation through a tenure of 13 months in Vietnam did not permit the required levels of cohesion to develop in the teams.
The Indian army also has potential for such problems. It expanded its officer intake after the Kargil war in which problems resulting from shortage of officers surfaced. However, whether it has managed to maintain quality in light of the pulls on otherwise competent candidates from other sectors of an expanding economy is debatable. One of the American problems in Vietnam was that the low quality of majority of its junior officers resulted in infamous incidents as at My Lai in which Lt Calley, the officer in charge, was found to have been of a remarkably poor caliber.
Another aspect is rotation. The Indian army's unique counterpart to the American rotation system has been the paramilitary force Rashtriya Rifles. This measure has however not resolved the problem of lack of cohesion. This is because its ranks are drawn from disparate divisions and services and are rotated through tenures that are not coextensive in the primary group, which the major avenue of horizontal bonding for army members. Notable studies in military sociology have highlighted that the primary group is where the primary psycho-social needs of members are best catered to. If this is weak or disrupted, there is a heightened demand on the officer corps. To this, added an expanded intake of lower quality junior officers. This further accentuates the levels of supervision of junior officers being exercised by the senior leadership. Whether the seniors have been mindful of this problem is not known.
That the army has read its military history adequately is evident from the army preventing Kashmir from being India's Vietnam. Formidable armies have fared worse in such circumstance earlier, be it the French in Algeria, the Pakistanis in East Pakistan and the Soviets in Afghanistan. However, for the political leadership to rely only on the army would be an abdication of its responsibility of bringing strategy – the utilization of instruments of state power - back into the reckoning.
An additional consideration is that other areas requiring the military attention are on the security horizon. Presently the cease-fire in Nagaland is happily extended every year. By their very nature, cease-fires are taken as breathers in which both sides firm in their military flanks. The Sri Lankan experience with the LTTE is a case to point. This is one reason why a cease-fire has not found favour in Kashmir since it was last attempted over five years ago. Taking cue, from this it would be strategic prudence for India to address one front at a time. Whether the next call on the army is in the North East or in Maoist Central India, there would be a need to extricate it partially at least from Kashmir.
It is encouraging that the pace and direction of the peace process is promising poised as it is at the offer of President Pervez Musharraf on making the LOC irrelevant being welcomed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. This is the moment for the political leadership to seize and take the peace process further along the several lines aired by the two sides: self governance - maximum autonomy, joint management - institutional arrangements etc. Waiting indefinitely for the 'right moment', defined as one in which negotiations are from a position of strength, may not be appropriate in the circumstance of a military under strain. In light of the problem diagnosed here from a reading of the symptoms, it is not as capable or ready an instrument it has been in fixing problems that politics has given rise to and thereafter been unable or unwilling to resolve.

I love having a rare Saturday night in with my partner. He usually works Saturday nights so it was nice last weekend to have him home. We watched a movie with two pizzas to share. I was recently asked if I would like to review Dr. Oetker's new pizza. I said yes straight away.
Dr. Oetker Ristorante newest addition is the Pizza Calzone Speciale, which is a folded pizza filled with mushrooms, salami, ham, tomato sauce and cheese, sprinkled with cheese and herbs. It takes 30-35 minutes to cook in our oven at 200C temp. The pizza was lovely and crispy on the top and when we cut it open to half it between us, the melted cheese and other filling just smelt lovely. We couldn't wait to tuck in!
I have enjoyed all Ristorante thin and crispy pizza's. We also got the Hawaii one with the two vouchers we were given. A pizza is a perfect meal to have when you want to cosy up to watch a film with your loved ones or friends. Having a Ristorante pizza sure does bring Italy to your home.
* I was given two vouchers to spend on 2 products in return for an honest review. All images and words are my own, as always.

North '£6 billion a year underfunded compared to London', investigation finds
Figures reveal the North of England would have seen £59 billion more over the last decade, if it had received the same per person for infrastructure as London, an independent think-tank analysis finds.
IPPR North analysis shows that if the North had received the UK average spending per head each year for the past ten years, it would have received £10 billion more, and if it had received the same per head as London, it would have received £59 billion more.
The news comes following a string of London-centric announcements from the government:
Last Thursday, the Department for Transport said it would not electrify the Midlands line
Last Friday, it said Osborne's plans to connect Manchester and Leeds and upgrade Manchester Piccadilly are unlikely to proceed.
And it said it will press on with Crossrail 2, following intensive lobbying from London businesses.
The investigation into a decade of government ONS data, conducted by researchers at IPPR North, uncovers a 'scandal' of chronic government under-investment in the UK's regions.
For context, £59 billion over this ten years would have been enough to fill a billion potholes or develop a new high-speed east-west crossing, IPPR North say.
On today's infrastructure it is quicker to travel from London to Paris, in around two hours and 23 minutes by Eurostar, than east-west from Liverpool to Hull, which takes around three hours and 20 minutes.
The think-tank slams the economic model of successive governments, which has prioritised the use of infrastructure spending to prop up the City of London, rather than underpinning other vital sectors such as the North's advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and green energy sectors.
IPPR North says this regional imbalance fuelled the Brexit vote, and a sense that the rest of the UK is left-behind the capital's success.
Considering the findings, IPPR North issued a landmark challenge to all parties to put their money where their mouth is and commit fresh billions to rebalancing the UK economy in light of the Brexit vote.
Researchers also urge the business secretary Greg Clark to put regional government in England at the heart of its modern industrial strategy, as part of a federal UK.
The news comes as the government u-turned on its promised electrification of key transport lines in the Midlands, the North and Wales, and as Mayor Sadiq Khan defended London getting more transport money than the rest of the country put together.
The investigation finds:
The government's own data shows that public spending is on average is £1 billion less each year in the North than if it had invested on a per head basis across the UK. This is before accounting for the private investment often leveraged in by the public sector.
Public spending was on average £282 per head in the North compared to the national average of £345 per head. This is dramatically skewed by overspend in London, which received on average £680 per head over the last ten years, and to a lesser extent spend in Scotland (£536 per head).
And this picture looks set to get worse: Figures IPPR North published earlier in this year show that £1,900 per head of public and public/private transport investment will be spent in London from 2016/17 onward — £1,500 per head more than the North of England.
To address the issue, IPPR North calls for northern businesses to make the case for 'HS3' in the same way in which London businesses have lobbied for the capital's cash: it's not a question of either London or the North, but a matter of modernising Britain's outdated centralised approach to public funding.
It adds public investment is critical in attracting additional private business cash too to unlock schemes, as London has with Crossrail.
IPPR North also suggests that HM Treasury and the Department for Transport ensure Transport for the North is "souped-up" with TfL-style powers to undertake sensible borrowing for long-term infrastructure projects which would finance themselves over time.
Luke Raikes, IPPR North senior research fellow, called for a 'New North' in a new federal UK post-Brexit. He said, "This is a national scandal.
"In most other advanced countries, decisions about transport investment are made locally or regionally, where people really in the know about local problems decide exactly what's needed.
"But in Britain, our Whitehall-knows-best attitude leads to the capital being the government's default option for more funding.
"Devolving funding for regional infrastructure would help fix Britain's broken economy by closing the regional productivity gap and helping the country to catch up with our competitors overseas.
"If we are ever going to have an economy that works for everyone, we need a federal UK and regional government with teeth, such as a Council of the North, working with a souped-up Transport for the North, businesses and residents.
"That means doing what Whitehall has failed to do for decades, and invest in transport so the whole country can benefit from the realised potential of a New North: northern prosperity is national prosperity."

Q: Django features in a PHP Framework? There are two main features that I love in Django:
a) It creates the SQL table automatically from the Model
b) It auto generates a powerful admin from the Model
Is there a PHP framework with these two features? I've looked at Symfony and cakePHP, but I couldn't find any info about a)
Thanks!

A: I heard good things about Laravel, but in principle:

*

*It works in reverse to Django, where its ORM dynamically match your Model's member variables to database tables.

*It also has several scaffolding library (example) to generate simple CRUD admin page.

A: *

*Symfony uses ORM Doctrine that generates database tables based on entity mapping

*There is no auto-generated admin dashboard in Symfony2, but there are bundles for that (e.g. SonataAdminBundle)

Scilab Matrix Tutorial
Scilab is quite powerful in handling string variables. During this period, the Scilab language was very much enriched. There are a lot of in-built functions to perform various tasks like transposing a matrix, multiplying or adding matrices and more. In addition Scilab supports a character string data type which, in particular, allows the on-line creation of functions. Scilab works under three modes i. It is a high-level language similar to Matlab. Example of multiple linear regression using matrices 17 The following SCILAB commands will. As mentioned before, the notation used by Matlab is the standard linear algebra notation you should have seen before. Finally, I decided to make a tutorial about Convolution, since is quite difficult to find examples and very good tutorials (even made in Matlab) about this mathematical operation. I want you to learn the details about using the function conv in order to obtain very good results.

They have their own syntax and some compatibility converter from Matlab code to Scilab code, but I don't thik it's as complete as Octave's. For this operating system Scilab has an integrated editor. The heart curve is a closed curve. The previous syntax for matrices is useful in the situations where matrices are to be written into data files, because it simplifies the human reading (and checking) of the values in the file, and simplifies the reading of the matrix in Scilab.

Two inmates were stabbed at the Maryland House of Correction in Jessup yesterday during a fight involving several inmates wielding homemade weapons, state corrections officials confirmed.
Both of the injured men were flown to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore for treatment of stab wounds to the chest, said George Gregory, a spokesman for the Maryland Division of Correction. Both were listed in critical condition last night.
The fight occurred about 10:15 a.m. in one of the maximum-security prison's dormitories, Gregory said. He said a 33-year-old inmate serving a life sentence for murder was confronted by two inmates with "shanks," which are homemade knives. Several other inmates in the area jumped in, assaulting the two attackers, the spokesman said.
The inmate who was the target of the original attack and one of his two assailants, a 27-year-old serving a life sentence for murder, were taken to Shock Trauma. The second assailant was treated for less serious injuries in the prison infirmary, Gregory said.
He said "several weapons" were recovered at the scene but did not know the specific number. He also could not say how many inmates were involved.
Officers responded immediately as the attack unfolded and called for the assistance of medical staff, Gregory said.
The dormitory where the assault took place, which houses up to 60 inmates, was placed on lockdown status, in which inmates are largely confined to their cells. The prison houses about 1,200 inmates.
State police and internal investigators are investigating, Gregory said.
