Maryland lawmakers plan push to legalize marijuana
Madeleine O'Neill
Maryland lawmakers will weigh legalizing marijuana when they return to Annapolis next year amid growing calls for criminal justice reform and shifting stances toward legalization in nearby states.
After years of stalled efforts, advocates are hopeful that 2021 will be the year Maryland legalizes marijuana for adult use.
Delegate Jazz Lewis, a Prince George's County Democrat, hopes to shepherd the legislation through the General Assembly.
Lewis said his proposal will center on equity and repairing the damage that criminal enforcement of marijuana laws has done to communities in Maryland.
"We decided that we wanted to create the most aggressive and extensive racial equity plan in the nation," he said in an interview.
Lewis said that he decided to push for legalization after he learned earlier this year that he would soon become a father.
As he was considering what sort of world he wanted for his son, protests broke out across the nation in response to the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police, strengthening his resolve to address marijuana reform.
"We have a few years to try to correct the American experience for all people," Lewis said. "Selfishly, for my son, but everyone's child out there, Black or otherwise, shouldn't have unnecessary interactions with the justice system that derail their life plans."
With New Jersey's recent vote to legalize recreational marijuana, there are other pressures at play, too. Maryland residents will soon be only a short drive from access to legal weed — and they'll take their tax dollars to New Jersey with them.
Maryland's neighbor to the south, Virginia, is signaling that it could soon follow.
"I don't think we want to be behind the eight ball in our region on this," Lewis said. "I think we have an opportunity to lead, and we will."
A focus on equity
Black Marylanders make up a third of the state's population — a much greater proportion than in any other state that has legalized marijuana so far.
That will make racial equity especially crucial to Maryland lawmakers, said Delegate Stephanie Smith, a Baltimore City Democrat.
"The communities that have been most adversely impacted by overpolicing and incarceration related to marijuana possession, they should be at the front of a conversation around where we distribute revenues to strengthen the economic outlook in those very communities," she said.

Lewis said he worked with several other members of Maryland's Legislative Black Caucus to develop the legislation, which is still being drafted.
The forthcoming bill, Lewis said, would leverage medical marijuana growers' enthusiasm to jump into the recreational market to create a source of capital for "social equity applicants" — people from communities that have been disproportionately affected by marijuana criminalization.
Existing marijuana growers in Maryland could expand rapidly to meet demand for recreational pot. By charging them a hefty fee for licenses, Lewis said, Maryland could create a pathway for smaller entrants into the recreational sector.
The funds would also help alleviate the problem of banking in the marijuana industry, he said. Because marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, many banks are hesitant to work with cultivators, dispensaries and other marijuana-related businesses.
The Maryland legislation would also include automatic expungement of criminal records for possession of a small amount of marijuana, he said, and would dedicate a significant portion of the revenues from legal weed to communities that have been most affected by marijuana arrests.
A 2013 ACLU report found that Maryland had one of the nation's highest arrest rates for marijuana possession and that Black residents were disproportionately arrested for possession.
"We want to particularly target these communities of high need," Smith said. "The pain was not felt evenly. The prosperity needs to be hyper-targeted toward equity to ensure that we don't just continue to ignore communities that have borne the brunt of this crisis."
Smith said it is also critical that lawmakers learn from the rocky process of creating a medical marijuana industry in Maryland.
Sales of medical cannabis began in 2017, several years after lawmakers legalized medical marijuana. The industry faced lengthy delays and legal challenges, and has been accused repeatedly of excluding minority-owned businesses.
The recreational marijuana legislation would try to prevent those problems from the outset.
Though details are still being worked out, Lewis said recreational marijuana would be taxed at a rate that's comparable to the alcohol sales tax under his proposal. Alcohol sales are taxed at 9% in Maryland.
Lewis said he wants to keep the price reasonable so that a legal market will succeed in pushing out illegal marijuana sales. A legal market would also help keep marijuana out of the hands of children, he said.
"I think we've had a false illusion of control by saying that this is illegal," Lewis said. "Who gets arrested for cannabis possession? Young people. The current drug policy has failed, and I think it's high time for us to revisit and reform and move forward."
'A lot of issues to tackle'
Small amounts of marijuana have been decriminalized and treated as a civil offense in Maryland since 2014.
Efforts to legalize recreational marijuana have been less successful. Attempts in recent years have failed to make it out of committee in the General Assembly.
A 2019 legislative work group considered legalization, but ultimately declined to endorse legislation for the 2020 session.
Lewis, who was not a member of the work group, said he believed equity was a key stumbling block in 2019.
A 2021 bill is also sure to meet opposition.
Delegate Neil Parrott, a Washington County Republican, said he opposed legalizing medical marijuana because he believed it would open the door to recreational pot.
He is concerned that legalizing recreational marijuana could lead to increases in crime and vehicle crashes.
"When the government endorses the drug and says that it's fine, that sends the wrong message to the population, especially to young people," Parrott said.
See the data on legalization:Where recreational marijuana is legal, data show minimal impacts on teen use and traffic deaths
Parrott, who recently lost a bid for Congress, said change must happen at the federal level.
Using marijuana when it's legal at the state level can still have consequences under federal law, such as for security clearances or firearm ownership.
"I believe there could be and probably are some medical benefits," Parrott said. "At the federal level, things do need to change, so they can at least do the research, and then states need to come in line."
Olivia Naugle, a legislative analyst with the Marijuana Policy Project, said she hopes that lawmakers will legalize marijuana in 2021. But the pandemic will pose unprecedented obstacles, she said.
"This legislative session is going to be unlike any other, so meeting with lawmakers is going to be very different, and lawmakers have a lot of issues to tackle," she said.
Naugle has led the Marijuana Policy Project's advocacy efforts in Maryland for the past two years. She believes that New Jersey's vote to legalize recreational marijuana could create a domino effect in nearby states.
As states struggle with falling revenues during the pandemic, the prospect of legalizing and taxing marijuana could be especially tempting.
"The longer Maryland delays moving forward with legalization, the longer the state is going to continue to subject its residents to the harms of prohibition and miss out on a much-needed new source of jobs and revenue," Naugle said.
As of last week, Lewis was working to confirm which lawmaker in the Maryland Senate would sponsor partner legislation. Lewis said he hopes to unveil his proposed bill in early December.

This month the AQ Artist Spotlight celebrates Olivia Vargas. Vargas is currently a junior working on a liturgical music major, and right now her minor is undecided. When it comes to cats or dogs, she will choose cats all the way, while her favorite animals are pandas.
Vargas says that she always wanted to sing since she was younger. She started by singing during church then got into the music scene during her senior year of high school. Her favorite genres to listen to and sing along with are soul, jazz, and R&B. The reason Vargas loves music so much is due to the way it makes her feel and its ability to share a message. She loves to sing because she can use her voice to share messages of her own.
On Youtube Vargas has numerous covers that she's done. She chooses a song from two ways. The first is because she likes the song and wants to try to sound like them. The second way is by choosing an unpopular song to make it her own style. She also has a few of her own songs uploaded onto Youtube. She started writing her own songs when she was in seventh grade and admitted that they were horrible. Over the years she kept working on it and was feeling inspired by other artists and the events in her own life as it was an emotional outlet.
All the songs on the EP are written by her and have a jazz influence. Vargas says that everyone could find something to enjoy or relate to in the song. She mentioned that a range of people from rock to jazz fans have enjoyed the EP. As of right now, she's not sure about another EP. She's planning on doing more live shows with her band.
"Tabula Rasa" has five songs. All of them are slow and quiet. They all have a different meaning. The feel of the songs vary, but they are all still fun. Vargas was able to make her music have meaning that anyone could relate to and have it be fun for her. I definitely recommend listening to it.
After graduation, Vargas plans on staying in the music scene for as long as she can. She'll be in the church choir to perform more. While she'll also keep writing her own music to see where it'll go for her. Vargas believes that being at Aquinas has helped her learn more about music. Her time here so far has enabled her to improve her music writing skills, and always has the help of her band, family, and friends throughout her journey.
Vargas' music can be heard by visiting her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OliviaVargasmusic/ or by checking out https://oliviavargas.bandcamp.com/album/tabula-rasa.

Two dead as Brazil overpass collapses on bus
AN overpass in Brazil, built as part of the World Cup transport infrastructure has collapsed, crushing a bus and a truck below. Dan Roan, Twitter
by APN Newsdesk
4th Jul 2014 6:40 AM | Updated: 8:27 AM
THE overpass that collapsed, falling onto trucks and a bus below in the World Cup host city of Belo Horizonte in Brazil has left two dead and 19 injured, according to reports.
A spokeswoman for the local health department has confirmed the numbers to reporters.
The cause of the catastrophic failure of the overpass is still not clear.
The bridge was part of a network of bus lanes that Brazil failed to have ready in time for the World Cup.
A woman on a bus at the time of the collapse told GloboNews TV she feared more people would be trapped under the debris.
"We were traveling normally and then there was a terrible noise," Renata Soares said.
"I am sure that more people in other cars were underneath the debris."
Early reports from the scene speculated there was at least one fatality with another 10 injured.

Magdalena Krupa (* 4. Dezember 1987) ist eine polnische Naturbahnrodlerin. Sie nahm in der Saison 2004/2005 an zwei Weltcuprennen teil.

Karriere
Krupa nahm zweimal an internationalen Juniorenmeisterschaften teil: Bei der Junioreneuropameisterschaft 2005 in Kandalakscha erzielte sie unter 16 Rodlerinnen den 13. Platz, doch bei der Juniorenweltmeisterschaft 2006 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen kam sie nur als 18. und Letzte ins Ziel. Im Weltcup war Krupa lediglich in der Saison 2004/2005 bei zwei Rennen am Start. Zum Saisonauftakt belegte sie in Longiarü als 13. den vorletzten Platz, doch am Saisonende ließ sie als Zwölfte immerhin vier Rodlerinnen hinter sich. Weitere Weltcupstarts folgten nicht, aber bis zur Saison 2007/2008 nahm sie noch vereinzelt an Rennen im Interkontinentalcup teil. Auch Starts bei den Polnischen Meisterschaften blieben ab 2008 zunächst aus, doch 2011 nahm sie wieder an den nationalen Titelkämpfen teil und erreichte hinter Wioletta Ryś den zweiten Platz im Einsitzer. Im Jahr 2006 war sie als Dritte im Einsitzer zum ersten Mal bei den Polnischen Meisterschaften am Podest gestanden.

Literature / The Silver Sword
The Silver Sword note Known as Escape from Warsaw in America is a children's novel written by Ian Serraillier. The book is set in during the Holocaust, where the Balacki family has been split apart due to refusal to support Hitler. Joseph Balacki has been taken to a work camp far away in the mountains, Margrit Balacki has been dragged off to an unknown location by the Nazis, and the three children, Ruth, Edek and Bronia, find refuge in a bombed cellar on the streets of Warsaw after their house was destroyed by the Nazis, supposedly with them in it. They survive off of what they can, until a boy named Jan inadvertently brings them news of their father escaping to Switzerland, and they set out to reunite their family.
Contains examples of:
A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: The Balacki siblings. Ruth and Edek are two years apart in terms of age, while Bronia is eight years younger than Edek.
Friend to All Living Things: Jan, apparently.
Heroic Sacrifice: Jan goes through one after choosing to help Ruth and Bronia recover Edek from the lake instead of going to collect the frightened Ludwig, which he never sees again.
Parental Abandonment: Nobody knows what happens to Jan's parents, possibly including him. They were likely taken away by the Nazis, and killed.
Separated from the Adults: After the Nazis take both their mom and dad away, the kids are left to fend for themselves on the streets of Warsaw, barely even escaping themselves.
Team Mom: Ruth. Towards the end, it is mentioned that Bronia even came to see her as a Parental Substitute.
What Happened to the Mouse?: When Jan first meets Joseph, he carries a gray kitten. When he is found by Bronia and Ruth, the kitten is gone and Jimpy (a rooster) has taken its place. Jan mentions later in the book that he had a gray cat, but it died. The cause of its death is never explained.
Averted with Jimpy; the bird is explicitly stated to have been killed in a fight which breaks out at a feeding centre.

Bo finds her resolve to stay free challenged, and is forced to question her own morals and beliefs. While Bo grows stronger and learns more about who she really is, relationships will be tested and passions will ignite, but answers will not come easily.
The screening starts at 5pm this Friday in ChemSci M18, our usual screening room. We're aiming to start the AGM at around 7:30, over our usual pizza dinner – $5 per half pizza, other menu items possible. Even if you're only able to attend the AGM and can't stay for the screening, that'll be enough.


Stretch marks can be a nuisance and they are not easy to get rid of. If you already have them, keep in mind that it takes time, patience and regular skincare before you can fade stretch marks away.
If you massage your body regularly with coconut and almond oil, it will keep stretch marks away.
Consult a doctor to start with a daily dose of Vitamin E capsules. Vitamin E is believed to improve stretch marks. Or, add a couple of vitamin E capsules to your body massage oil.
It is believed that smearing the area with egg white and letting it dry before washing off with ice cold water regularly can help in getting rid of stretch marks completely.
Q. What Are Stretch Marks?
A. Stretch marks are tiny tears in the dermis that are scars and can vary in color from a light pink to a dark purple. Over a very long period of time, usually years, stretch marks can fade in color, but the scars remain.
Q. What is the cause of Stretch marks?
A. Stretch marks are caused when the skin is stretched to the point of breaking down, similar to elastic losing its' elasticity. Losing collagen and elastin in the skin causes stretch marks, loss of tone, fine lines and wrinkles. When there is a breakdown or loss of elastin and collagen fibers or excessive stretching in the skin, the mark actually shows through to the epidermis (top layer of skin).
Our skin consists of three layers.
The Epidermis – The top layer of the skin, locks in moisture and blocks toxins from entering the body.
The Dermis – The second layer of the skin, (where stretch marks occur), is where our skin produces collagen and elastin fibers which give it a firmer and younger appearance.
The Hypodermis – The third layer of skin, which is composed of fat and connective tissue.
Q. Why Do People Get Stretch Marks ?
A. There are several different factors that contribute to the formation of stretch marks.
Pregnancy – the weight gain associated with pregnancy.
Although some people are more susceptible to stretch marks, anyone can get them.
Stretching of the skin during rapid weight gain or rapid growth (in young children and adolescents) is a major cause of stretch marks.
The non-occurrence of stretch marks during one pregnancy does not necessarily mean stretch marks will not occur in another.
Stretch marks are not gender specific – men and women are susceptible to these unsightly marks.

THORP ist die Kurzbezeichnung für Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant und bezeichnet die neuere der beiden in Sellafield, Großbritannien befindlichen Wiederaufarbeitungsanlagen für nukleare Brennelemente. Der Name drückt aus, dass dort oxidische Brennelemente aus thermischen Reaktoren, das heißt aus Leichtwasserreaktoren, aufgearbeitet werden.

Verfahren
Die Anlage wurde für eine Kapazität von bis zu 1200 Tonnen Uran pro Jahr (abbrandabhängig) ausgelegt; dieser Durchsatz wurde aber bisher noch in keinem Jahr erreicht. Bis März 2005 wurden insgesamt etwa 5670 t verarbeitet.

Die Wiederaufarbeitung erfolgt nach dem PUREX-Verfahren mit folgenden Einzelschritten:
 Brennelementempfang und -lagerung
 Brennelementzerlegung und -auflösung in Salpetersäure
 Abtrennung der Spaltprodukte von den wiederverwendbaren Stoffen Uran / Plutonium
 Trennung von Uran und Plutonium
 Endreinigung von Uran und Plutonium und Konversion zu UO3 oder PuO2
 Abfallbehandlung und -lagerung

Die flüssigen hochradioaktiven Abfälle werden in der Anlage WVP (Windscale Vitrification Plant) verglast.

In der Sellafield MOX Plant (SMP), einem anderen Gebäudekomplex in Sellafield, wurde das aufgearbeitete Plutoniumoxid zu frischen MOX-Brennelementen für Leichtwasserreaktoren verarbeitet. Die SMP wurde 2011, einige Monate nach der Nuklearkatastrophe von Fukushima, geschlossen.

Geschichte
Die erste Anlage zur Wiederaufarbeitung in Sellafield hatte eine rein militärische Zielsetzung: Seit den 1950er Jahren wurde das in den beiden Windscale-Reaktoren erzeugte Waffen-Plutonium dort im Nachgang für den Einsatz in Kernwaffen zur weiteren Verarbeitung separiert. 1964 dann wurde die Anlage B205 für Brennelemente der britischen Magnox-Reaktoren und später AGR-Reaktoren in Betrieb genommen. 1969 bis 1973 stand zudem eine weitere Anlage in Betrieb, die für in Großbritannien (noch) nicht in Betrieb stehende Leichtwasserreaktoren im Ausland gedacht war. Das Projekt scheiterte allerdings 1973 an einem schwereren Unfall.

Der Bau der THORP-Anlage begann im Jahr 1983 und wurde im Januar 1992 abgeschlossen.

Im Gegensatz zur älteren Anlage B205, die für die nicht lange lagerfähigen Brennelemente britischer Reaktoren vorgesehen war, wurde THORP aus rein kommerziellen Überlegungen heraus für britische und ausländische Kunden gebaut.

Ende 1994 aber kündigten die beiden deutschen Energiekonzerne RWE und Bayernwerk bereits abgeschlossene Verträge über die Wiederaufarbeitung ihrer Brennelemente in Thorp. Der Abnahmevertrag mit der französischen Anlage in La Hague wurde nicht verlängert. Sie begründeten beide Schritte mit Kostennachteilen ("Uran ist auf dem Weltmarkt billig zu haben, die Wiederaufarbeitung ist sehr teuer"). In Thorp entfielen durch diese Kündigung Aufarbeitungsaufträge über insgesamt 550 Tonnen, rund 20 Prozent der Thorp-Aufträge für die Jahre 2004 bis 2014. Die Thorp-Manager hatten ursprünglich kalkuliert, vom Jahr 2004 an Gewinn machen zu können.

Die rot-grüne Koalition (1998–2005) war grundsätzlich gegen die Wiederaufarbeitung ("Plutoniumwirtschaft"); sie drängte die Atomkonzerne zu einem Verzicht darauf.

Deutschland liefert seit einer politischen Entscheidung – Atomkonsens vom Sommer 2000, umgesetzt 2002 in einer Atomgesetz-Novelle – seit Mitte 2005 keine abgebrannten Brennelemente mehr zur Wiederaufarbeitung und nimmt sämtliche Abfälle zurück. Die MOX-Brennelemente, die von einzelnen AKW-Betreibern weiterhin bezogen werden, stammen noch aus vor diesem Entscheid geschlossenen Verträgen.

Die MOX-Brennelementefabrik (die aber nicht zu THORP gehört) wurde 2011, einige Monate nach der Nuklearkatastrophe von Fukushima, geschlossen.

Am 19. April 2005 wurde auf dem THORP-Betriebsgelände bemerkt, dass im Lauf mehrerer Monate etwa 90.000 Liter plutonium-haltige Flüssigkeit ausgelaufen war. Bedienungspersonal hatte erstmals im August 2004 bemerkt, dass mehr Flüssigkeit in die Anlage hineinging als wieder herauskam; das Leck blieb aber bis 2005 unentdeckt. Es gelangte angeblich keine Radioaktivität in die Umwelt; der Unfall wurde mit INES 3 eingestuft. Im Januar 2007 erhielt Thorp die Genehmigung, wieder in Betrieb zu gehen.

Am 9. November 2018 wurde auf Grund der rückläufigen Nachfrage zum letzten Mal Kernbrennstoff aufbereitet. Die Anlage soll in Zukunft als Tanklager benutzt werden.

Q: Get the first displayed row of datagridview can anyone tell me how I can get the first displayed row on a datagridview?. I need to get  the first row whenever the user scrolls on the datagridview, whether the user has selected the row or not.
Can anyone tell me if this can be done?.
Thanks.

A: Use the DataGridView.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex property.
And make sure all rows have the same height.

A: you can try this : datagridview.rows[0];

Q: Singularity of the python logic Just starting to get to know Python. Every Python expression is supposed to have a boolean value. I'm trying to verify it with simple statements, the results are a bit confusing. In principle this does not seem to have an easy logic to understand. There is something behind it that is lost to me. What could it be?
Python 3.8.0 (default, Oct 28 2019, 16:14:01)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

> foo = 1
> foo is True
False
> bar = True if foo else False
> print("{}".format(bar))
True
>
> foo = 0
> foo is True
False
> bar = True if foo else False
> print("{}".format(bar))
False

> foo = '1'
> foo is True
False
> bar = True if foo else False
> print("{}".format(bar))
True
>
> foo = '0'
> foo is True
False
> bar = True if foo else False
> print("{}".format(bar))
True

A: For starters, is is not the same as ==, since is is asking if it is exactly that value/object. To check if something is 'truthy' or 'falsey' (since they cannot actually be the boolean values of True or False), you can do for example:
>>> foo = 1
>>> True if foo else False
True
>>> foo = 0
>>> True if foo else False
False

>>> bar = '0'
>>> True if bar else False
True
>>> bar = ''
>>> True if bar else False
False

In general, empty lists, strings etc. and 0 are 'falsey' while most other things are 'truthy'. Maybe you would prefer the explanation here instead: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/truthy-and-falsy-values-in-python/

Vincent Young Models for a Portrait in Sleeveless Sweater
Vincent Young is an actor most known in Beverly Hills 90210 for his portrayal of Noah, but he is a great, long-time friend of mine. We met while I was wrestling for Cinnaminson High School, and he wrestled for Delran High School. He claims the school's record for fastest wrestling pin at 4 seconds. We met at a joint scrimmage and have been in contact ever since, so we collaborate to create images that enhance both of our portfolios.
This studio portrait session was a way for Vincent Young to reveal his new look. After taking on the role of Curly in Escape Plan 2, Vince was asked to shave his head to fit the vision for the character. He shaved his hair, and decided to keep it as a permanent new style.
The concept of this session was to showcase Vince's edgy style, and showcase his evolution as a character actor, so that studios, theaters and fans of his work can visualize him in a diverse set of roles. The sleeveless argyle sweater was appropriate for this photography shoot because it matched the cool, villainous tone that Vince accepts in his later films.
As an actor, Vince

One lady wrote in a forum: "I am shocked that in our country Ukraine it's a whole business, it is a crime to mislead people, I think that authorities should be looking into it." Many posters condemn the practice saying they feel ashamed for the image that Ukrainian women get due to its notoriety, others try to defend their working for marriage agencies, insisting it's not a scam.
One woman said she would be at ease to simply write letters and chat online under someone else's identity, but didn't want to list her own pictures or have actual meetings with men.
Some sources estimate the scale of PPL operations at over 100 million US dollars a year.
.50-0.75 per letter and -3/hour for online chat.Some ads may seem like it's a legitimate job of interpreting correspondence for a dating agency's clients, while others don't even attempt to mask the essence of the job.An ad placed on the site says the following: We are seeking attractive girls, preferably of model appearance, for cooperation with our agency and receiving stable income. The essence of the work is to correspond with foreign men on a dating site (no intimacy! The foreigner pays to the site-company to use the services of the marriage agency, i.e. Men like to send gifts, starting from flowers, Iphones, tablets, photo cameras, and ending with precious stone jewellery. You can simply give it a try, it doesn't oblige you to anything. If you don't like it, you can leave, which I doubt;) With all questions, call or write to the email address here!!!"Initially he enters your trust, tells how good and honest he is, pays the first salary, and then doesn't pay for several months." "Do not get involved with this scum. This is why when foreigners come to visit their prospective brides they are surprised that a girl who was so open and affectionate in her correspondence, suddenly becomes prudish.It seems to be the usual practice for translators who "lead" certain profiles (i.e.has the ability to communicate with the most beautiful girls in the world! If you know English or can use Google-translator, and ready to work — we register you on the site and fast forward;)). If you are not ready to work — a translator will be working instead of you. Girls who work earn from 300 to 3000 dollars a month! The number of vacancies is staggering: from 39 to 271 companies seek to hire young Ukrainian women to pose as "brides" wanting to marry foreign men, and translators, who will be corresponding with guys instead of pretty girls.


Ahhh, the BIG apple! This infamous city has grown on me.
The first time I set foot in Manhattan in 2004 I wasn't smitten. I found NYC to be overwhelming, smelly, crass, and packed to the seams with people, honking taxis, and obnoxious sounds. It kinda frightened me; it was sensory overload. I sat on the red double decker tour bus, amazed at the sights yet feeling incredibly small under the soaring buildings we passed. A vivid memory from the trip was a taxi ride. I recall jumping in a cab near Central Park during an intense thunderstorm one hot August afternoon. The welcome relief from the humid, wet air was short lived; the driver roared the car toward a massive puddle, and the water shot up like a tsunami to soak a dozen smartly dressed professionals waiting to cross the street. The driver deviously laughed as the people yelled obscenities at us. I sat back, silent, as I watched horns pop out of the driver's temple. I was horrified.
Okay… I may have exaggerated one part. Regardless, it left a lasting impression.
In retrospect, I have realized something (call it self-reflection): I was young and naive and uncultured. No that doesn't excuse the taxi driver's actions…. New York City was nothing like my innocent Disney-esque hometown Orlando or any "biggish city" that I ;had ever been to. Heck, I was a naive young 20-something living in the middle of New Hampshire at the time! I had a bubble complex. I was unaccustomed to the "hard knock life" of big cities.
Since then, however, I've blossomed into a foodie, obsessed with farm to table cuisine and international dishes; I consider myaself an adventurer who longs to travel and embrace the change and tastes of unfamiliar places. I have since seen and experienced much more of the world. In short, I now have an intense curiosity: I am a wanderlust.
Perhaps my 2004 NYC trip was the turning point?
Since then I've visited other true big cities like London, Rome, Florence, and Barcelona. I've become more confident in foreign situations, like navigating large unfamiliar airports by myself in Japan (where they temporarily lost my bag), Spain (where I had to practice using my Mexican sounding Spanish to find out where to go), and South Korea (where I had to spend the night … and HAD to locate the next book in the Twilight series- in English of course). I've learned how to deal with language barriers on public transit systems in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Naples; how to "fit in" at community mess halls in remote parts of Yukon, Canada; and the importance of not taking a nap as soon as you arrive on the other side of the earth. I've learned to embrace unusual travel activities such as Zorbing down a hill, jumping backwards off a waterfall into a dark New Zealand cave filled with glowworms, snorkeling with sting rays in the Caymans, ziplining in the rainforests of Belize, or landing on a glacier in Alaska. Additionally, I've learned to appreciate different varieties of food, customs, and appearances. Nothing beats a warm croissant from a Parisian bakery, or champagne with a splash of Kir from a French bistro, or the smell of fresh lavender in Provence, or hot chips with a splash of vinegar in a dark London pub, or figuring out how to eat noodle soup without a spoon in Japan, or receiving shot of limoncello with a glass of free champagne courtesy a cute Italian restauranteur in Italy, or accidentally ordering a huge seafood meal with oysters and shrimp in Barcelona (btw, I hate seafood), or being reminded to take off your shoes before sitting on the floor at your table at a restaurant in Tokyo. Ahh, but I digress…..
New York City, the international mecca in all her beautiful glory, overwhelmingly appeals to me now, and I can't wait to see her soon.

Hop aboard the train before the Texas A&M Aggies leave College Station.
Entering the 2020 season, head coach Jimbo Fisher is building a contender. In a lot ways, Fisher's third season could mirror his time at Florida State — After signing top-10 recruiting classes in each of his first three offseasons, the Seminoles went 12-2 in year three, then claimed an undefeated BCS title the next season. Texas A&M will have an 11th-, 4th-, and 6th-ranked class on the roster for 2020, plus a three-year starter returning in quarterback Kellen Mond.
I'm not guaranteeing Texas A&M a 12-win season and SEC West title or anything. I'm just saying…
The Aggies plan to expedite that growth even faster by the 2021 season.

Despite the COVID-19 virus creating a "dead period" on the college football recruiting trail, Texas A&M is moving and grooving virtually. The Aggies secured verbal commitments from four-star defensive end Jahzion Harris, plus three-star recruits Victory Vaka (defensive tackle), Matthew Wykoff (offensive tackle), Fernando Garza (tight end), and Kaci Seegars (outside linebacker) since the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown began.
Landing four-star cornerback Deuce Harmon on May 28 gave Jimbo Fisher's staff its fifth four-star recruit for 2021 with a lot of miles still ahead.

"First, I would like to thank the man above for these great opportunities. Thank you to all the Coaches & Schools for believing that I could be a big piece in your program! I would also like to thank my amazing parents for raising me to be the young man and athlete I am today, taking me to and from practices when I was little, and spending money on me so I could be the best. Thank you to my older brother for being the best role model anyone could ever have and showing me what being great looks like. To my Coaches & trainers thank you for the extra skill and knowledge you have given me.
"With that being said I would like to announce that I will be committing to… Texas A&M University #GigEm"
Denton Guyer High School's Deuce Harmon is ranked as the No. 15 cornerback nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite. Harmon fielded dozens of FBS offers, including Baylor, Cal, Houston, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Virginia Tech and Washington State.
He ultimately chose the Aggies over six other finalists: Texas Longhorns, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Oregon Ducks, USC Trojans, SMU Mustangs and TCU Horned Frogs.
Harmon was an integral part of a Denton Guyer team that went 14-2 and reached the 2019 Texas 6A-II State Championship. The 5-foot-9 defensive back logged 46 total tackles, 10 passes defended, and two interceptions his junior year, according to statistics submitted to MaxPreps. He also showcased impressive ball skills by catching five passes for 82 yards and three touchdowns, as well as returning punts and kicks for the Dallas-area Wildcats.
Deuce Harmon Highlights
Harmon joins high school teammate and top-10, dual-threat quarterback Eli Stowers among A&M's 2021 recruiting class.
"It's a big relief going into my senior season," Harmon told 247Sports. "Just focusing on these last few months I have in high school and this last season, keeping a straight focus on that, working on getting back to state and actually bringing it home."
He still plans to take official visits in the fall, but for now, the Texas A&M Aggies are awaiting the big-time commitment from Denton, Texas.

The Social Edge


This is the little house of my childhood; until I was in high school, it had no porch, so imagine six people in three tiny rooms and an attic. We thought nothing of it, having learned to find our way around elbows and outstretched feet.
The kitchen table was round, covered with oil cloth and before electricity, an Aladdin lamp, with its fragile mantle, sat at the very back. My father had "his" chair. When we were not eating, one would find him sitting sideways in the chair, legs crossed, cup of coffee within reach. His shirt sleeves rolled above his elbows or nearly so, hat slung on the back of his head and his mind going a mile a minute.
Because the house was small, I was one to go outside and stay out for most of the day. Ma and Dad taught us boundaries. In my mind, those boundaries were very important and must never be crossed. I could walk "down" the road as far as the ledge on the tarred road and then , with bared feet, mince my way over the gravel section to my Uncle Roy's house. I was never to go down past his house. Never!
If I walked "up" the road, I could go as far as Dan Cole's farm because I delivered the Grit newspaper, but never should I go to the Lester Cole farm and bother them unless I saw Danny or Elwin and was invited. Never!
I was taught that to bother a neighbor was probably one of the worse things a kid could possibly do. It reflected on them, so unless invited, I never went to a house and rapped on the door. Of course, in my mind, that did not include my cousins' house. I hopped and skipped through the woods on the path between our houses, paused to smell the trilliums and the red Stinkin' Benjamins, passed the ledge, hopped the brook , around the corner and there was the house! That was not off limits as long as I did not overstay my welcome and of all things, if a family was getting ready to eat, you did not stay…leave immediately!!
I loved Sunday afternoons because my Grampa and Grammy Martin usually had visitors. If my Aunt Cecile and Myron Winslow came to visit, Dad always went across the field to visit Myron and always came home laughing at some joke they shared.
I overstepped my boundary one Sunday when I was at Grammy Martin's. There were some people I did not know and I thought about going home. Frank and Leah Waterhouse asked if Beryl and Ethel were my parents and I said yes. Well one thing led to another and I stayed a few minutes longer. Oh, boy when I got home, Ma asked if she had seen a car drive up Gram's driveway so I had to tell her that yes, they had company. I told her what happened but that did not spare me the half hour I was forced to sit in the kitchen chair until she told me I could get up.
There didn't seem to be any boundaries when we got in the car with Dad. Other than the many trips we took to East B Hill, his favorite of all places, he liked to take us to Greenwood City. He liked to talk to Wilbur Yates, who ran the little store and gas station and we picked out a dime's worth of penny candy. Dad would joke on the way home and call him Wheelbarrow Yates to get us laughing. He had an awful sense of humor, but Ma shushed him a lot and told him to behave himself in front of us kids.
Once he drove us down to the Martin Road and then took us up a back road to an old abandoned farm. He loved to look for Indian artifacts and we attacked the apple trees. Oh, the apples were huge. He said they were "Woofrivers" which I think in later years I learned were Wolf River apples. I don't know. I have not seen any in years and the apples were so huge you held them in both hands. I think we also got some grapes as Dad seemed to know where all the old abandoned farm houses were as we motored along. Maybe one was Bert Morey…I don't know as he always pointed out Tracy's Flat, the Penley Place and the Ames Road and told us some history as we rode along. I think when Ma and Dad were first married and some of us kids came along, we lived in logging camps. Dad and probably one of his brothers built the house we lived in and God knows he was no carpenter. It was a square box, evenly divided down the middle with stairs to the attic for the marking point!
The other place we were allowed was in Locke Mills at the school house and any functions we were in at the time. I did join a 4-H club which fizzled after a short while. I like to think my attempt at making mayonnaise had nothing to do with the woman giving up her leadership.
Boundaries and respect. I can't think of anything more important that was drilled into our heads. We might not like that summer people were now occupying our fishing holes, but we were to keep quiet and find another.
That was a long time ago . I can still feel the hardness of that kitchen chair when I did not adhere to the boundaries. Somehow it stuck long enough so that I tried to instill the same theme to my own four children ..boundaries and respect…..and the look on my Ma's face if I forgot!!
It is a hot dog day of August here on the farm. The grass in the lower field has turned brown and crisp. The few showers pelt down so quickly, any good rain runs right off the top of the ground. The three boys are outside. Their cousin, Mark, comes each day during this summer and they are delighted to have someone to play with besides each other. Debbie is in her room and reading. She has inherited that gene from me.
This day began as most days on the farm. I was up before the sun to ready the bottles for the milk to come in from the barn. After straining it all with my cheesecloth, it is put inside the refrigerator and the task comes to washing the strainer and using boiling water to make sure it is absolutely clean.
The kids are early risers and after Mark arrives, they find plenty to do outside. This morning we had a pleasant surprise. An unexpected visitor came into the yard and no one recognized the car, so great excitement reigned throughout.
The man got out of his car, turned and brought out a huge valise. Oh, no, he was selling something and I don't need anything and if so, did not have the extra money. However, it is the practice to be friendly to anyone trying to make a living in these days of the Sixties, so with a smile I invited him in to sit at the kitchen table and show me his wares.
Oh, the variety and color turned the kitchen table into a rainbow of color. By this time, the boys were curious and came in to take a look from the kitchen corner. There were greeting cards, knick knacks and every kind of salt and pepper shaker one could ask to have. Suddenly Mark came over and leaned a bit on me and pointed at a set of shakers. "Can I get those for Mum?" he whispered. "Do you think she wants that set?" I asked, because they did not appeal, at all, to me. He shook his head emphatically that he really wanted them as a surprise present. The salesman smelled a sale and announced they were only a dollar. I was reluctant to part with the dollar but thought what a thoughtful little boy to want to take his working mother a gift.
The salesman left, dollar in his pocket, and I handed the shakers to Mark. He grinned all over and placed them carefully with the rest of the things he had brought for the day. "I didn't know your mother liked mice," I ventured as I handed him the ceramic rodents. "She doesn't. She's scared to death of them." he replied and all the boys ran out the door, and Mark's laugh echoed back. Oh, boy, I am glad I am not going home with him and the shakers tonight!
We do have some salesmen who come on a regular schedule. The boys get so excited when the Cushman truck comes up the hill. Their favorite things are the raspberry turnovers and I usually need some bread. Vance Bacon , from West Paris, is the driver and he stops to visit a few minutes with the kids and me each time he comes.
We usually butcher every year but if there is a year when that is impossible, there is a man with a meat truck who stops by. His prices are reasonable and the meat is very good, but the kids don't get quite as excited when there are no raspberry turnovers inside.
My mother told me last week she has purchased a portable White sewing machine "from a man who came to the door." She is really excited about having a machine she doesn't have to treadle!!
The Rawleigh man stops at the farm occasionally and if I am in need of a bottle of vanilla or something inexpensive, I buy from him. Even the Watkins man has found his way up our hill.
All these people are trying to make a few dollars during hard times and I hate to say no, so I try and help out as much as I can. I remember the days of my peddling Cloverine Salve, Rosebud Salve and the Grit and how good it felt when I finally could count out my profit!!
It is getting hotter and more muggy as the afternoon draws on. I call in the kids and pour them a jelly glass full of Kool-Aid and soon all five have a purple moustache. They take their glass and go sit in the shade of the big elm by the lilac bush.
It has been a long day and still supper to put on the table. I think I will have a little Kool-aid myself and read the Lewiston Sun which just came in the mailbox.
The air is almost stagnant this August morning, even though the nights are beginning to cool a bit, leaving a little dew on the grass out front. The leaves are barely moving, as though they have had enough heat for the summer and Twitchell Pond seems to just lie there as if it doesn't have energy enough to ripple.
It is Saturday and my older brothers have gone; one to work in the woods and the other to help a farmer with his haying. Curt has already eaten his Puffed Wheat for the morning and is out playing with trucks in the dirt. Dad has gone over the field to Gram's in hopes of getting the latest copy of the Advertiser-Democrat. It seems he has heard there's an article in there about the Ice Caves he wants to read.
Ma and I have finished cleaning up the dishes in the black iron sink and she declares she supposes she has to bake something and had better do it before it gets too hot . I can't stand the heat, she says, already wiping her brow.
What are you going to make, Ma, I ask all the time hoping it is something sweet. She hates molasses because she says that is all she had to eat when she was a kid. But during the war, we had to eat a lot of it and I still like it. A molasses cake, I guess, she answers as she pulls down her brown recipe book and starts thumbing through it. Your father will eat that and you know how fussy he can be, she mutters, as she continues to flip the pages. I also know she is making the molasses cake because she has the ingredients and because her molasses cake does not need any frosting.
Throw some more wood in the stove, she directs me, since I am wondering what my part might be in her cooking campaign. Make sure the stick is poked up tight under the oven handle or the oven will never get hot enough to bake this off.
Down she reaches into her flour tin and thank goodness, no mice this time. I do not want to see a repeat performance of the time she discovered the whole mice family and ran with the big tin, mice and all, with her screaming into the front yard. I don't know if she was screaming because she was afraid of the mice or mad because she had to throw away the flour.
What about the oyster stew Dad wants tonight? I ask this rather timidly because the sweat beads are already forming on Ma's forehead . She has all her ingredients lined up for the cake in the three feet of counter space. Her metal mixing spoon is banging against the metal bowl as she mixes all the ingredients. She still hasn't answered, so I guess I had better let the subject drop.
Suddenly, Ma bangs down the bowl, hands on hips and turns and says, did you see your father last night? That show he put on? I am a little thunderstruck as Dad puts on a lot of shows with or without the aid of his Old Narragansett beer and last night there was no beer. What is she getting at? Ma wipes the sweat off her brow with an old towel and says, he wants oyster stew. That calls for milk. Well I will just have to see if there is any milk left.
Ah ha! Now the picture is getting clear; the fog is lifting. Dad goes to bed early and reads his western paperbacks. Sometimes, his ulcers really kick in and he hurts, so up he gets, wanders to the kitchen and fixes a bowl of crackers and milk. He sits there in just his underwear and spoons it in, says he feels better and back he goes to his reading.
Last night, he was in the middle of his spooning and headlights appeared in the front yard. Now when you come in our front door, turn left and there is the kitchen; turn right and there is the living room and my parents' bedroom. So if you think about it, Dad is at the table in just his underwear and the front door is between him and his pants, as it were. Ma said, for heaven sakes, Bob, get in the bedroom, there are lights. Then a car door slammed. Dad crouched, but Ma claimed he could be seen through the kitchen window, so in the end Dad crawled past the front door on his hands and knees to the bedroom to retrieve his pants, and Ma greeted the visitors.
So that was the show she is still sputtering about. She goes back to her mixing and says she hopes he has learned his lesson and will at least pull on a pair of trousers before he comes into the kitchen at that time of night. Bad enough the kids have to see him like that. Well, the mixing is done, the batter poured into the pan and she opens the oven, leans down, tests the heat with her hand and face, I guess, and the cake goes in to bake.
She is through with her recipe book so I ask her if I can copy a cookie recipe in it. She keeps the book in a little drawer at one side of her cupboards and treasures it, but says Roland has copied some for her, so I can if I want.
She puts another stick from the wood box into the old stove and glances at the clock. Pretty soon the smell of molasses cake will fill the kitchen and right out the front door.
No time to linger though. It is Saturday and the boiler has been on top the wood stove since early, early morning heating to do the wash. I put the treasured recipe book back in the drawer and get ready for the next hot August chore.
It was 1955 and I was 17 with a high school diploma and no where to go. I was stuck in Greenwood Center the rest of my life. It was taken for granted that if one was out of school, it was time to find a job. I was offered one at a summer "camp"..for lack of a better word. It is one of those jobs that is blocked out of the mind after a few years because you just do not want to remember how miserable it was. Suffice it to say, I lasted two weeks of rising at 4 a.m., working all day with a half hour rest and getting back into bed around 9 at night. It included taking care of the guests at meal time, doing laundry etc. I thought my experiences with Miss Hobbs would help, but my employer was not cut from the same mould. After one very upsetting morning trying to learn to use a "mangle" to iron a sheet, I decided this was not going to be my life long career. I had previously taken a civil service test in Rumford and passed with flying colors with my typing and secretarial skills, thanks to a very persistent Mrs. Crockett, my business teacher in high school. No matter how well I did, I was too young to be employed by the Federal Government. So I was fighting to iron a sheet the quick way.
There was only one way to go and that was to the local mill. I was terrified to think of walking into that big grey building in Lockes Mills known as the Ekco Company. I had been awarded two scholarships at the time of my graduation, but one must remember back in the Fifties, you either had money for the essentials and education was not necessarily one of the essentials or you had encouragement and money to get somewhere in the world. Finding neither, with my Dad at my side I slowly walked into the mill the first day. I had no idea how to punch the time clock and word had it that it was "tricky." Ma worked in another section of the mill, so it was left to Dad to show me how to "clock in".
Since I was too young to run a machine, I was put in charge of Ansel Jordan and Merle Lurvey in the sorting department. I crawled up on a stool with Lil Young on the other side, who made me feel at ease right away. I knew my Dad was on the other side of the giant wall behind us and was cutting the rosewood that would come down the shoot to the tray. It was our job to take out the bad wood and push the good into the bag hooked to the side. When it was full, one of the men would come and take it away and haul it down to where Ma worked and she would put it through a machine to make a knife handle. All those years I looked after Curt while my parents worked at the old mill and now Ekco and here I found myself doing the same thing.
Dad came around the corner a few times and said, " How ya doin', Muff?" I always said I was ok but I could see he knew the work was not as easy as some thought. Lil kept joking and that made the time pass more easily. I had to remember that I was earning 75 cents an hour!! This beat working for ten dollars a week. There was a silver lining after all in this dark cloud.
When winter came, Dad gave me gloves to wear while sorting as the ice chunks came through with the wood. Dad said the wood came from Brazil and I told him if he saw any strange spiders or whatever with lots of legs to keep them on his side of the wall! Soon, though, work lessened and I was laid off. No more 75 cents an hour.
Enter my second experience at mill working. At this point the cold winds were blowing, snow was piling up and it was as miserable as a Maine winter can get. I was married and living on a farm on Rowe Hill. I was 18, young, healthy and wanted to work. Dad sent word that they were hiring at Penley's mill in West Paris.
By this time I was used to time clocks and found the one at Penley's easier to use. Up the stairs and there were rows of machines. Surely most households have used clothes pins made at Penley's mill in West Paris, Maine! Well there were two types of machines..I was shown how to insert the spring and the two sides and put my foot in the stirrup to kick and voila! a clothespin. If I made x number of gross a day I got paid $1.00 an hour. Those women who had worked there a long time had machines which one just hit a pedal and , if I remember correctly, there was a puffing sound and the clothespin was made. I have always been very good at "piece work" and once I got the rhythmn of the machine, I was in hog heaven. I never failed to make my dollar each hour. Junior Farr was my boss and a very good boss he was…patient and kind or maybe I just looked pathetically young and inexperienced.
The women were unbelievably friendly to me and when word came out that I was pregnant, well a surprise baby shower awaited me after returning from lunch at the local drugstore one noon!! That pregnancy, however, cut short my clothespin making because of their insurance policy.
The worse part of winter working and living on Rowe Hill was a storm during the day and the roads weren't plowed up to the farm. I cannot remember the times we left the car and waded, sometimes well above the knees, through the snow to get home. My husband was not well versed in fire making and since I had been building a wood stove fire since age seven, I took over that chore. So after his working all day in Locke Mills and my working all day in Penley's, we stood over the old wood stove in the Rowe Hill kitchen waiting for the stove to get hot enough for at least a cup of coffee and enough heat for some kind of meal!
The miserable cold weather also had a silver lining. I seldom thought of the letter I received on my 18th birthday offering a job to work with the Navy in the Pentagon. Another one of those "what if's"… but , in retrospect, I am quite sure I would never have been comfortable living and working anywhere in a city. As it were, my days working at Ekco and at Penley's showed me the many sides of people and I learned a great deal from it.
If you learn from every experience, then it is a good thing.

How do you prove to immigrantion and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials that your marriage to a United States citizen is valid and not just for the green card?
On behalf of Law Offices of Jan Joseph Bejar, A P.L.C. posted in Immigration Detention on Wednesday, October 4, 2017.
It's no secret that noncitizens are facing tough times in the United States right now and that immigrantion and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are taking a hard approach to immigrants whenever there's a question about whether or not something is a deportable offense.

The U.S. Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) lottery grants immigrant visas to 50,000 people from countries with historically low rates of immigrantion to the U.S. This year, two applicants from Iran and two from Yemen were among the randomly selected winners of that lottery, which was supposed to allow them and their families to move to the U.S. and become lawful permanent residents.


S hapoorji Pallonji, a leading construction and realty force in India , is adding a network of IT parks in the Subcontinent to its international portfolio of signature properties. Some SP Infocity parks have special economic zone (SEZ) status to meet growing demand from global players in the IT/ITeS sector. SP Infocity joins such landmark properties as The World Trade Centre, Mumbai; the Hotel Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai; The Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi ; The Palace of the Sultan of Oman, Muscat ; the Providence Cricket Stadium in Guyana and the Seat of Government & Presidential Villa in Ghana .
The first SP Infocity project is in Pune, 160 kilometers from Mumbai, the financial hub of India . Opened in 2003, SP Infocity Pune, on 80 acres, features high-grade office space, modern amenities, a classic campus feel and landscaped surroundings. SP Infocity Pune consists of both SEZ and non-SEZ components. In addition to high-end office space, the park features recreational facilities in the form of I-Space, a fully equipped clubhouse with a restaurant, gym, swimming pool, spa, guest rooms, amphitheatre and other amenities.
SP Infocity developments at Pune, Udyog Vihar (Gurgaon) and Chennai are operational and are home to leading corporate names from the IT/ITeS world. EasiOption BPO Services Pvt. Ltd., for example, inaugurated its 500-seat facility in September 2009. The firm, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.K.-based Kent Reliance Building Society, provides BPO and call center services to primarily British financial institutions.
Another tenant at the Pune SP Infocity development is Mansoft, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qatar-based Mannai Corp. The unit opened its second Indian Resource Center at the site in August 2008; its first was established in Mumbai in 2006. The facility provides technical support for a variety of functions, including such events as the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October. The center is expected to house about 400 IT professionals. ADP India is another tenant at the SP Infocity campus in Pune. A global provider of back-office IT services, ADP accommodates 1,100 employees in its 110,000 sq. ft. of space. And Saksoft, a global software services company specializing in the banking, financial services and insurance sector, has moved into 20,000 sq. ft. at SP Infocity in Chennai.
In the coming months, similar developments will open at Manesar (Gurgaon), Mohali and Nagpur . SP Infocity parks in other locations, including Kolkata, Mysore and Durgapur , will follow. All locations have space available for lease, according to Shapoorji Pallonji. SP Infocity complexes are integrated developments blending work and leisure amenities. The developments offer every feature or facility that a corporate client seeks in a premium office setup. Large floor plates, high efficiency ratios, power backup, plentiful parking, food courts, gymnasium, swimming pool, residential and retail facilities, and landscaped surroundings are just some of the aspects that make these complexes complete.
Keeping in line with the current environmental concerns, SP Infocity has proactively adopted measures to add to the Green quotient. Chennai and Manesar projects of SP Infocity, which are Green Buildings, are a testimony to this fact. Future SP Infocity developments at other locations also aim to incorporate green features to a large extent.
The Shapoorji Pallonji name is associated with signature real estate developments in India . The Imperial — two 60-story towers offering luxury residences at Mumbai and SP Shukhobrishti — a mass housing project in Kolkata having 20,000 apartments, illustrate the wide range of projects the organization is executing. Currently the real estate portfolio of Shapoorji Pallonji includes residential, commercial, IT/ITeS, retail, hospitality and recreational developments throughout India . The Imperial recently created history by winning seven awards at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2009 in Singapore followed by three more at Hong Kong in 2010. SP Infocity Pune was awarded at the Maharashtra (State Govt.) IT Awards 2008 in the Best Infrastructure category.
