title: Peanut mm brownies recipe

text:
When life gives you peanut M&Ms, make brownies. These chocolatey treats are made from my favourite basic brownie recipe with added yumminess. It uses ground almonds which not only makes them gluten free, but also adds a certain nuttiness to the final flavour. You can add any of your favourite sweets really but I just love peanut M&Ms here - making for tiny treats as you munch your way through the brownie. Gooey on the inside, with a chocolate crust on the outside. As brownies should be, in my opinion.
♥ 250g good quality dark chocolate
♥ 200g unsalted butter, roughly cubed
♥ 200g caster sugar
♥ 1 tsp vanilla essence
♥ 160g ground almonds
♥ 3 free range eggs
♥ 60g of peanut M&Ms (they're 45g a bag)
Equipment; a large saucepan and square brownie tin or silicone tray
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Step one. Melt the chocolate on a low heat in your saucepan. As it begins to melt, add in the butter and stir until both have totally melted. Take off the heat.
Step two. Stir through the sugar and vanilla essence until incorporated. Add the almonds and lastly the eggs.
Step three. Pour into your brownie tin or silicone and scatter through the M&Ms as evenly as you can. Push some of them down to the bottom and move some to the edge of the tray too so you get a bite of them with every brownie slice!
Step four. Bake for 35-40 minutes. The brownies will form a crust but may seemed undercooked inside, which is fine. If the brownies start to burn on top, just cover in a little foil and continue to bake.
When done, allow to completely cool before slicing up. I often even leave them in the fridge so they make for really easy to cut squares. The mix should yield 14-16 squares.

title: Salman khan roped in for ramesh tauranis race 4 producer reacts hindi movie news

text:
“The script is ready for the next ‘Race’ installment, and we will announce the casting of the film soon.The cast will be new. I can’t comment on whether Salman Khan will be part of it or not. It will go on floors by the end of the year. It’s not decided yet who will direct it,” Taurani told PTI.
For the uninitiated, the first ‘Race’ starred Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, and Bipasha Basu in prominent roles. The second installment saw Saif Ali Khan joined by John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, and Jacqueline Fernandez as the leads. Both films were directed by Abbas Mustan. ‘Race 3’, directed by Remo D’Souza, was headlined by Salman Khan, with Bobby Deol playing the antagonist.
Meanwhile, Taurani also confirmed plans for sequels to ‘Bhoot Police’ and ‘Soldier’, mentioning that an official announcement regarding these projects will be made soon.
Ramesh Taurani also confirmed a collaboration between Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan. “We are doing an entertainer movie with a love story and great music with Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan. It will go on floors soon,” said the producer. He also added that they are yet to finalize the film’s female lead.
Taurani noted that the trend of making sequels began around 2009–2010 with films like Race and Dhoom, and since then, sequels have become more common. He emphasized the importance of paying close attention to the script when creating a sequel, as the original film carries significant brand value.
On the other hand, Taurani is making headlines for his recently released ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’, starring Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, Jibraan Khan, and Naila Grrewal. The film is the sequel to Shahid Kapoor’s Ishq Vishk.

There seems no end to the ethical questions surrounding the behavior of several Supreme Court justices, what with the endless stories of undisclosed swanky vacations and gifts, but the most shameful lapses aren’t personal, they’re institutional.
Recall that Donald Trump has been charged with multiple felonies for attempting to overthrow the government. The federal court of appeals in D.C. unanimously rejected his outlandish argument for total presidential immunity on the sixth of February, setting the stage for a trial on this multi-count indictment.
But the Supreme Court weighed in three weeks later, not only to rule it wanted to review the appeals court decision, but in a lengthy process that seems designed to ensure that the voters will not know Trump’s guilt or innocence after a trial—if one is now ever held—before they cast their ballots.
Litigants are used to hearing about the slow pace of judicial decision-making; the law’s delay is a cliché. But when the national interest plainly calls for speedy resolution of an essential constitutional conflict, as in a case like this one that features an attack on the Capitol and an attempt to set aside a presidential election, previous Supreme Courts have often responded immediately.
But with the Trump case, foot-dragging began immediately. Special counsel Jack Smith sought to have the Court resolve the immunity issue in 2023, but was rebuffed. After the court of appeals decision, the Supremes set oral argument for the immunity case in late April 2024, almost two months after taking the case on. As the main legal issue was fully briefed in the lower courts, it is nonsense to argue that lawyers needed extra time to fashion their arguments.
As of this writing, over six weeks have elapsed without a decision since the case was orally argued and formally submitted. A trial before the election, once improbable, now seems impossible.
The Court’s normal way of doing things is to delay issuing decisions until each justice who wishes to write has an opportunity to complete an opinion that may be a concurrence or dissent. That seems a sensible practice for the ordinary case, but when time is of the essence the Court has freely disregarded it.
In 1958, for instance, when the governor and legislature of Arkansas claimed the state could deny federal court orders enforcing Brown v. Board of Education, the Warren Court decided the case the day after oral argument but issued its formal opinion 17 days later.
In the famous 1971 Pentagon Papers case, it took four days for the Court to decide that the First Amendment overrode the federal government’s interest in keeping The New York Times and Washington Post from publishing documents exposing gross mismanagement in the Vietnam War. Six of the justices managed to make their views known in written opinions in those few days.
The Rehnquist Court heard argument in Bush v. Gore, the case that determined the winner of the 2000 election, on December 11, 2000. On the 12th, the Court took action that made George W. Bush president. Indeed, the current Court majority itself has made wide use of its “shadow docket” system to greatly speed up cases when it wishes.
The prompt decisions in these cases under the leadership of four different chief justices make it clear the delay in Trump v. United States is not only unnecessary but is calculated to postpone a trial until after the election, keeping what must be considered critical information from the public.
A story in the recently published memoir by retired distinguished court of appeals judge David Tatel sheds a bright light on how the Roberts Court manages the timing of its decisions. The judge tells how his court was confronting a complicated appeal by a death row inmate facing execution. As he and his colleagues wrestled with what to do and edited drafts of their various opinions, they received word from the Supreme Court that the justices were impatiently waiting for a decision in the case and would like it, if possible, within an hour.
Tatel was plainly shocked, but recognizing the superior authority of the Supreme Court, the appeals court judges complied. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 5-4 that the execution should go forward.
The rush to judgment was particularly remarkable in that the inmate, Daniel Lewis Lee, had been sentenced to death over 20 years earlier. Perhaps the message from somewhere in the Supreme Court can be explained by Lee ultimately becoming the first federal prisoner to be executed in 17 years. The Trump Justice Department desperately wanted to renew executions, but the speed to end the litigation came from a Court that apparently can measure timing to suit its political purposes.
Trump may ultimately fail to get the capacious immunity he craves, but he has already won the delay issue and done so with the collusion of a majority of the Court. The justices hope the public will think of them as nonpolitical, just fair umpires deciding cases, as the chief justice famously said. The immunity case story makes that sort of rhetoric even less palatable than it was before. And it was barely acceptable then.

title: Russian accident tolerant fuel

text:
At unit 2 of Russia’s Rostov NPP, a new generation of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) has begun its third cycle of pilot operation. Fuel assemblies with experimental fuel elements are being tested according to the standard nuclear fuel operating cycle for Russian VVER-1000 reactors – three fuel campaigns of 18 months each. During the next scheduled maintenance at the power unit in spring of 2026, the fuel will be unloaded from the reactor core, and will undergo post-reactor examination.
The third 18-month cycle, like the entire ATF fuel pilot operation programme is carried out in strict coordination with regulator Rostekhnadzor based on required justifications and in accordance with the issued licence.
In 2021, three combined fuel assemblies of the TVS-2M design were loaded into the reactor core for the first time, each containing 12 fuel rods of an innovative design. Six fuel elements are made using chromium-nickel alloy 42ХНМ as a structural material, and six with cladding made of zirconium alloy with chromium coating. This makes it possible to either completely eliminate or significantly slow down the development of the zirconium-steam reaction in the reactor core in the event of an emergency.
The next, final step for qualifying Russian ATF fuel will be the loading into a reactor of several fuel cassettes containing 312 innovative fuel rods. At the Chepetsk Mechanical Plant in Glazov (part of Rosatom’s fuel company TVEL) a production site has been established for applying chromium coatings to cladding made of a traditional zirconium alloy. A pilot batch of chrome-plated fuel rod cladding has already been manufactured and accepted.
This is fully consistent with world practice in the development and implementation of innovative nuclear fuel, whereby the first few experimental fuel rods are loaded into the reactor (lead test rods) followed by several assemblies consisting entirely of the innovative fuel rods (lead test assemblies).
“The ATF development programme has produced another important result. It turned out that chrome cladding can provide the missing technological link for creating a completely unmanned automated production of fifth-generation VVER fuel – the TVS-5 design. This fuel for VVER-1200 reactors is specially designed so that, during its assembly it avoids a number of technological operations that are not automated and still involve personnel,” said Alexander Ugryumov, Senior Vice President for Scientific & Technical Activities at TVEL. “Similar to the fabrication of fuel for fast breeder reactors, unmanned industrial production is necessary to close the nuclear fuel cycle for standard thermal light water reactors. This provides an opportunity to use as fuel not only enriched uranium, but also materials extracted from irradiated fuel – regenerated uranium and plutonium.”

# F40 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2024-02-19 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance%5Belement...
Hi folks! It's time for another blocker review meeting. We have 6 proposed blockers and 1 proposed freeze exception for Beta, and 4 proposed blockers for Final.
The meeting will be on Matrix, as we're trying to move to more modern systems and the meeting bot is working on Matrix now. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing.
If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the wiki .

title: Obtaining a home mortgage loan

text:
All of the hype in the media about mortgages might have you concerned about shopping for financing. There are plenty of options for borrowers to find the perfect home mortgage loan. All it takes is a little knowledge and dedication to find the perfect loan for your needs. If you are just starting out, you will need to determine the type of loan that you need as well as how much you qualify for.
This is easy to determine with the help of a reputable bank. Finding a mortgage lender that will help you every step of the way can make the mortgage lending process less overwhelming. A bank can take all of your preliminary information including your income, assets, credit and proposed value of a home to pre-qualify you for a loan. Once you have a pre-qualification in your hands you have more buying power when you look at homes. Realtors and homeowners selling their homes are more likely to talk to those that have been pre-qualified for a loan.
When you are talking with your banker, you need to decide what type of home mortgage loan you want. If you think you will be in your home for a long period of time you might want to look into a fixed-rate loan. This loan offers the same mortgage payment and rate over the life of the loan. They are offered in increments of 15 years – 30 years. The shorter the term of the loan, the quicker your home will be paid off. It is important to remember that the shorter the term of the loan, the higher your monthly payment will be.
If you think you might only be in your home for a few short years, you can look into an adjustable-rate mortgage or ARM. These loans offer a lower initial interest rate. The downside is that after a specified period of time the rate and your payment adjust according to the current market rates. This could raise your payment significantly. ARM loans are offered in three to 10-year increments. If you qualify for an ARM, you can try to obtain one that will not adjust during the length of time you expect to be in your home.
Weighing the pros and cons of each type of loan will help you determine the best home mortgage loan for you. The most important thing to remember is to use a reputable bank to help you with your mortgage needs. A banker who is there to answer all of your questions will help you get the loan that fits your needs the best.

OK, so…. taking a leap into the unknown here — starting a podcast in the next little while, and I’m super excited. It’s taking a while to germinate and get set up, but that’s ok. It’s not as if the world is waiting with baited breath and demanding the next episode!
Backstory is this – -I retired from full-time classroom teaching in June 2022, after a career of about 45 years. In that time, I taught every grade, from beginning reading all the way up to adult learning, though most of my time was spent in middle and high school. I taught mostly humanities subjects the first half of my career — English, history, politics, philosophy, etc, in high school. Halfway through, I went back to school to learn programming (that’s another story), and then segued into educational technology and computer science, mostly in the middle school.
Along the way, I learned a lot. Hey, if you make it that long in teaching, it’s because you learned a lot about how to survive and thrive. Since retiring, I felt what a lot of retirees feel — now what? I had a successful career and while I just couldn’t do the daily full schedule of classes, advisory, supervision, and all-around student support any more, I still loved the learning! So what to do with my “free time”?
Truthfully, it’s been a process. My first inclination was to recreate what I’d done, just more online and part-time. I have always loved the classroom energy that happens when kids are excited about learning and I can facilitate that. So it seemed logical to continue with that. I started my own business (CrouchingPython EdVentures), offering tutoring, instruction, curriculum, and consulting. I got an LLC, built my website, make contacts, got some great mentoring on the business piece (about which I knew basically nothing), and worked hard on getting this all running.
And I learned a LOT. But along the way, my thinking has moved in a different direction. Perhaps instead of trying to recreate what I had created in the classroom, it might be more fruitful and interesting to share what I’ve learned in 45 years of being in the trenches every day. I never aspired to administration, a normal career path for teachers. First off, I don’t have the organizational chops for that. And secondly, I had no desire to get out of the classroom, because that’s where all the action is! Nothing against administration — it’s totally necessary and I’ve served under some amazing administrators who have done the hard work of making it possible for people like me to teach their classes without worrying about all the other pieces of running a school.
I wrote a book (you can check it out here), where I explained how I built my learning environments to the point where I had students literally running into the classroom every day to get working on their projects. As with anything that a person does “naturally”, it has never seemed like that big a deal to me. But a long career has taught me that not every teacher operates the way I do, and it occurred to me that others might benefit from my experiences and thoughts.
And I also built my own PLN (Personal Learning Network) over the years. I’ve always been that teacher that looks for other teachers doing cool stuff, wherever they might be. Email, conferences, then Twitter, now Mastodon, wherever I can find teachers doing engaging, authentic learning! So I happen to know a lot of people like that. And I am still always looking for awesome teachers doing cool stuff with their students. For some reason, we always seem to connect, one way or another.
That’s a long backstory! Now I’m getting ready to launch my own podcast, where I’ll chat with teachers who are doing cool stuff every day in their classes. Nothing against the “experts” with research and data! All necessary. But as a teacher, what I want to hear is great nuggets of wisdom — actual things that you’ve done in your classroom that have kids jumping out of their seats and excited about learning. And I’m pretty sure that’s what other teachers are looking for, too.
So look for the launch of this podcast Real Soon Now! I’ll host it here on my site for starters, then branch out from there. And if you’re one of those teachers like me who reads stuff like this and says, “Me me me!”, please…. hit me up and let’s talk! I’m eager to meet you and bring your story to the rest of the world.

Elegant and stylish details are always important in fashion. A women’s blouse is one of the key pieces that completes your style, both in daily life and at special events. With different cuts, patterns, and fabric types, it remains a favorite every season. Modern designs, comfortable fits, and high-quality fabrics come together to enrich your wardrobe. From comfortable models for daily outfits to special pieces designed for special occasions, women’s blouse models offer options for every style.
Blouse models shaped by different cuts and textures combine both classic and trendy styles. Sometimes, lace and tulle details add a delicate touch, while minimal lines offer simple elegance. Timeless pieces like the black blouse make styling easier and can be worn throughout the year.
Eye-catching Blouse Models
At times, striking designs take the spotlight over classic and simple pieces. Eye-catching blouses are perfect for special events, elegant dinners, or whenever you want to achieve an impressive look. Stone embellishments, sequin details, ruffled cuts, and transparent fabrics are standout features in these blouse models.
Draped cuts, asymmetrical details, and attention-grabbing fabric textures offer strong options for those searching for chic blouses. For instance, blouses enhanced with lace details add a romantic touch, while designs with deep necklines or back cutouts provide a bold and daring look.
Chic blouse models preferred for special events can be easily paired with skirts and trousers. A sweater blouse paired with elegant fabric pants creates a stylish and comfortable look. When combined with different accessories, these designs enhance your elegance in any setting.
Summer Blouse Varieties
In warm weather, lightweight and stylish pieces are preferred. Summer blouse models, with their breathable fabrics, provide comfort during the summer while also completing your style. Light textures such as linen, cotton, and viscose are comfortable and prevent sweating throughout the day.
Especially, strap blouse options are a must-have in summer outfits. Loose-cut and flowy women’s summer blouses offer freedom of movement, reflecting the energy of summer with different color and pattern options. Floral patterns, geometric shapes, or solid color designs create alternatives that cater to every taste.
Women’s sleeveless blouse models, ideal for wearing by the sea or around the city, offer a cool and comfortable wear while standing out with their modern cuts. Blouse models for women that easily transition from day to night combine both elegance and comfort. Thin, seasonal blouses paired with shorts on summer evenings provide a fresh feeling and a graceful appearance.
What to Consider When Choosing Stylish Women’s Blouses?
When selecting the right women’s blouse models to enrich your wardrobe, pay attention to a few details. First, fabric quality is of great importance. High-quality fabrics such as cotton, silk, viscose, or linen not only offer long-lasting use but also provide comfort throughout the day.
Cut and fit are also key factors. Blouse models that suit everyone’s body shape create an elegant look, while designs that don’t restrict movement allow for comfort throughout the day. Loose cuts provide comfort for daily wear, while tailored cuts create a more sophisticated style.
Color and pattern selection are other factors that make styling easier. For those seeking a timeless and classic option, the black blouse is always a reliable choice, while more vibrant tones create an energetic look. Seasonal women’s blouse models, selected based on the weather, provide both practical use and aesthetic complement to your style.
Lastly, it is important to choose blouse models according to their intended use. For everyday wear, comfortable and simple designs are preferred, while eye-catching blouses are better for special occasions, offering a more daring look. Women’s blouses enriched with different details and cuts help highlight your style in any environment.

Book Rating: 8.5/10
Set in the South at the height of the Vietnam War, The Unwilling combines crime, suspense and searing glimpses into the human mind and soul in New York Times bestselling author John Hart’s singular style.
Gibby’s older brothers have already been to war. One died there. The other came back misunderstood and hard, a decorated killer now freshly released from a three-year stint in prison.
Jason won’t speak of the war or of his time behind bars, but he wants a relationship with the younger brother he hasn’t known for years. Determined to make that connection, he coaxes Gibby into a day at the lake: long hours of sunshine and whisky and older women.
But the day turns ugly when the four encounter a prison transfer bus on a stretch of empty road. Beautiful but drunk, one of the women taunts the prisoners, leading to a riot on the bus. The woman finds it funny in the moment, but is savagely murdered soon after.
Given his violent history, suspicion turns first to Jason; but when the second woman is kidnapped, the police suspect Gibby, too. Determined to prove Jason innocent, Gibby must avoid the cops and dive deep into his brother’s hidden life, a dark world of heroin, guns and outlaw motorcycle gangs.
What he discovers there is a truth more bleak than he could have imagined: not just the identity of the killer and the reasons for Tyra’s murder, but the forces that shaped his brother in Vietnam, the reason he was framed, and why the most dangerous man alive wants him back in prison.
This is crime fiction at its most raw, an exploration of family and the past, of prison and war and the indelible marks they leave.
Frightful, atmospheric, and spine-chilling!
The Unwilling is an engrossing, gritty novel that transports you to Charleston, South Carolina, during 1972 when the Vietnam War is still being waged and Detective Bill French, unfortunately, finds himself mixed up in a complex investigation involving a heinous killer with a penchant for sadism, and a young murder victim that seems to have known both his teenage son, Gibby and his delinquent, adult son, Jason a little too well.
The prose is meticulous and crisp. The characters are raw, scarred, and maudlin. And the plot, including all the subplots, unravel and intertwine effortlessly into an ominous tale filled with mixed emotions, manipulation, deceit, corruption, grief, violence, and murder.
I have to admit that I have been a huge fan of John Hart since 2006 when he published his debut novel, The King of Lies. And even though I didn’t love The Unwilling as much as some of his older ones, it is still an intricate, sinister, well-written whodunit filled with an abundance of deeply flawed characters that I thoroughly enjoyed.
This book is available now.

title: The center for american progress unveils a global network to deploy just jobs

text:
The global economy today is inexorably intertwined—for better or for worse. This fact is driven home to workers worldwide by the recent global financial crisis, the ensuing global economic slump, and the subsequent efforts by governments to recharge their economies. But facing political pressures to "do something" about the widespread job losses, governments are tending to insular policies that impede economic integration and trade. This is cause for deep concern because economic globalization has come with a significant legacy of growth that can promote broadly shared prosperity and contribute to economic development. The Just Jobs Program at the Center for American Progress explores how to extend the benefits of globalization to all workers who power the global economy.
As part of the Just Jobs Program, the Center for American Progress is initiating a network of international think tanks and institutions that will undertake a periodic analysis of global employment policies and labor markets. The Just Jobs Network will be a platform for members to share knowledge and experiences and to strategize collectively to garner attention and international momentum behind the creation of just jobs as a necessary means to make economic integration and trade work better for more people.

Metastasis is responsible for the high mortality rate of lung cancer, but its underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the expression of diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGKA) was elevated in the metastatic lesions of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and correlated with poor survival. Mechanistic studies revealed a direct physical interaction as well as a mutual regulation among DGKA, proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (SRC), and focal adhesion kinase 1 (FAK) proteins. The C-terminal domain of DGKA was responsible for the SRC SH3 domain binding, while the catalytic domain of DGKA interacted with the FREM domain of FAK. DGKA phosphorylated the SRC protein at Tyr416 and the FAK protein at Tyr397 to form and activate the DGKA/SRC/FAK complex, thus initiating the downstream WNT/β-catenin and VEGF signaling pathways, promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and angiogenesis, and resulting in the metastasis of NSCLC. DGKA knockdown inhibited the invasive phenotype of NSCLC cells in vitro. Pharmacologic ablation of DGKA inhibited the metastasis of NSCLC cells in vivo, and this was reversed by the overexpression of DGKA. These results suggested that DGKA was a potential prognostic biomarker as well as a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC, especially when there was lymphatic or distant metastasis.

title: 24 november counselling service s community feel helps it win national award

text:
A counsellor says she’s been “humbled” after her service won a national award.
Our member Edith Fleck runs Serenity Counselling, in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, which scooped Counselling service of the year in the Prestige awards.
The judges of the award, which is for Northern Ireland, told her they were impressed with her “personal touch” and “community feel”.
They told her: “It’s extra special to know you are making a positive difference.”
Edith, who is a former nurse manager, has been a counsellor for 22 years after being inspired to retrain following experiencing childhood and adolescent trauma, extensive losses, and serious illness.
She said: “I realised there were an awful lot of people going through some really difficult times. Some of them just couldn’t get any help or support.
“What I’ve been through gave me the desire to help other people through this journey.
“I hold a firm belief that it’s not ‘one size fits all’ when clients enter counselling. I’m very aware of the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients so they can explore their difficulties and find coping mechanisms.”
The mum-of-three said she hoped awards like this help raise the profile of counselling and show the impact it can have on people’s lives.
“I really hope people get a deeper understanding of how counselling can help them.”
She added: “I’m really thankful to those who nominated me. It feels very special to know that they decided to take that step and put me up for this award. “But that’s not why I do this. I became a counsellor to make sure people could get the support they need.”
Edith expressed “This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the ongoing support of my husband, close friends and clinical consultancy; also the outstanding tutors who helped me enormously during arduous extensive training”.
Edith’s now been invited to a ceremony in London to receive her award.

text:
For Real estate investment, Rajarajeshwari Nagar is the Best Place to Invest in Bangalore. Based on investment growth potential and real estate market trends, it offers high returns on investment. The region has the top residential apartment projects, such as Birla Ojasvi, which offers the best investment option.
Investing in Bangalore in the current year is a strategic move due to the city's robust real estate market, steady economic growth, and burgeoning tech industry. With a flourishing job market, expanding infrastructure and prominence as the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore presents promising opportunities for investors seeking long-term returns and a thriving urban lifestyle.
Bengaluru's population has grown more than three times since 1990. Many people move to the city for better opportunities, such as employment benefits, education, way of life, environment, weather, etc. The varied housing options to suit every budget have led to the rise of highly sought- after residential projects in Bangalore.
The demand for rentals and family-friendly 2 and 3-BHK properties in the key areas is catching up, with an average rental yield of 5-7%. The significant return on investment and price appreciation that come with investing in property in Bengaluru are the other attractive reasons for buyers making a beeline for the real estate sector here.
Industries and warehouse activity majorly dominate the West zone. However, several colleges, schools, hospitals, and civic infrastructures dot the region, garnering home buyers' attention.
Best Places in West Bangalore to Invest
West Bengaluru is well-connected to other parts through Mysore Road and Magadi Road. Areas such as Kengeri make for an important transport hub with a railway station, a Traffic Transit Management Centre (TTMC) and Purple Line connectivity of Namma Metro. Mahalakshmi Layout is a large neighbourhood close to Yeshwantpur. It has many temples, including the ISKCON Temple. The Mysore Road Satellite Bus Station, Mysore Road metro station and NICE Road junction are the important intracity transport hubs here.
Rajarajeshwari Nagar, also known as RR Nagar, has many sub-localities, including BEML Layout, BHEL Layout, Ideal Homes, and others. A Global Village Tech Park is nearby, with several companies, notably the IT services provider Mindtree. Considering its growth and easy access to the rest of the city, many prospective homeowners are drawn to this neighbourhood.
Choosing the ideal location for buying a home can mean different things to different people. Of all the factors influencing your home-buying behaviour, location is the most essential factor driving the property's real estate value. All the key zones in Bengaluru have seen considerable infrastructure growth and development over the years. Before buying a home in the best residential areas in Bangalore, ensure that it aligns with a host of criteria - from transport routes and builder credibility to market stability.
Birla Ojasvi is a stunning township project in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, West Bangalore. Over 600 apartments and rowhouses are dispersed over ten acres of land. RR Nagar's lowest-density project is developed on 3 towers with 8 acres of open space between them. Each tower has 33 stories above ground and a view of the reserve forest. The internationally renowned architect "Broadway Malyan" created Birla Ojasvi.
Birla Ojasvi offers premium 1, 2, and 3 BHK apartments. In addition, a select few ultra-luxurious 4 BHK rowhouses combine the best aspects of villa and apartment life. Birla Ojasvi RR Nagar is scheduled to launch in March 2024. After four years of construction, the project will be completed in March 2028. Possession is anticipated in March 2024, and the RERA process is now underway.

title: Linen dress merchant and mills

text:
I’m totally addicted to linen at the moment, especially the soft, drapey kind by Merchant and Mills. I never knew linen could feel so silky until I got my hands on this fabric – courtesy of the exciting new online fabric store, Selvage.
I Love Linen
Linen is a pleasure to sew with – it presses really nicely and stays where you need it to when you’re stitching. It also has just enough stiffness so it holds details like tucks, pleats and gathering beautifully. I also love the feel of linen against my skin. Let’s just say I’m a huge linen fan girl!
The particular linen I used for my smock dress is Oxblood Linen by Merchant and Mills. The colour sits somewhere between a chocolate brown and dark burgundy – just gorgeous! I’d describe it as a mid-weight fabric, thick enough for for dresses and pants. It’s much softer than any linen I have ever worked with and has a nice drape to it too. But yes, it crinkles easily but that’s the trade-off for wearing linen I guess!
Do you want to get your hands on this linen fabric too? To celebrate their launch, Selvage is offering 10% off all fabrics for Sew in Love readers. The offer is for 48 hours only, ending at midnight on Wednesday 3 August (Australian EST). If you’re in the US, that means the coupon expires at 7am on Wednesday 3 August (PDT). Shop now
Selvage’s owner, Heidi has curated a beautiful collection of fabric, sewing patterns and accessories for her new online store. When you look through the store’s gorgeous photos, you can really appreciate Heidi’s focus on quality products to delight sewing lovers.
Another Sweet Pattern from Feminine Wardrobe
The sewing pattern for this dress is from the Japanese sewing pattern book, Feminine Wardrobe (see book review here). I’ve had this book for years but I still keep coming back to find items I want to make. Oh, and it’s now available in English!
Several year ago I made the ruffle front sundress in a red nautical print from this book. I was drawn to this design, B1, because it is just so unusual. I don’t even know the name to for this neckline – is it round neck? Scoop neck? If you know the proper name for it, I’d love to know!
What’s really interesting is the hemline of this dress. It’s cut like a shirt-tail hem and you insert a little triangle into the slit between the front and back pieces. This was definitely the one and only difficult part of the sewing pattern and I couldn’t quite get the triangle to sit straight. If you’re thinking about attempting this pattern, take extra care on this bit and maybe even baste the entire triangle down before you go at it with the sewing machine.
I think the girly puffed sleeves really softens the masculine feel of the shirt-tail hem. Overall, the dress is an elegant and understated piece that doesn’t require any accessories. I’m loving my secondhand clogs (another eBay find!) right now, so I was really happy that it went so well with my new linen dress.
Don’t forget your discount coupon expires in 48 hours!

title: Future of amazon arbitration alternative approach

text:
The Amazon-Future retail arbitration has been in the news over the past couple of weeks. By way of background, Amazon initiated arbitration proceedings before the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) against Future Retail on October 9, alleging that the deal between the Future Group and Reliance Industries Ltd., announced in late August 2020, violated a contract between Amazon and Future Coupons.
On October 25, emergency arbitrator VK Rajah issued an emergency arbitration order (EA order) in favour of Amazon. The order restrains Future Group entities from proceeding with the share seal deal or any such agreement with Reliance and other restricted parties mentioned in the non-compete clause signed between Amazon and Future Coupons.
As expected, the talk of the town is if and how Amazon can enforce this order in India. Much has been written on this topic in the last week, which is welcome given the relative lack of jurisprudence on EA and the enforceability of EA orders in India.
The reason the enforceability question is being extensively discussed is because the New York Convention, 1958 only concerns the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards but not of interim/provisional/interlocutory orders of foreign-seated arbitral tribunals, the latter including EA orders. In light of this, the analysis most commonly being suggested is that since EA orders are not by themselves enforceable in India under the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, a “duplicative approach” is likely to be attempted.
This duplicative approach entails filing (by Amazon in this case) a petition under Section 9 of the Act seeking interim relief, requesting the court to essentially duplicate the relief granted by the emergency arbitrator. This approach is considered to be derived from a decision of the High Court of Bombay in Avitel Post Studioz Ltd & Ors. v. HSBC PI Holdings (Mauritius) Ltd. In this case, as sought by the petitioner, the enforcement of an EA relief by a foreign-seated tribunal was indirectly achieved by (somewhat) duplicating it into a court-ordered interim measure under Section 9 of the Act.
However, even if an applicant has procured a favourable EA order from a foreign-seated tribunal and attempts to enforce it via Section 9, two factors need to be considered:
(i) Indian courts would need to independently examine any such application applying the tests governing a petition under Section 9 on the basis of principles under Indian law (see Raffles Design Int'l India Pvt. Ltd. v. Educomp Professional Education Ltd. & Ors). This is because courts do not exercise an enforcement jurisdiction and are not required to give any deference to an EA order under Section 9, and are only able to grant interim measures of protection.
(ii) A respondent would be entitled to re-agitate all objections, procedural and substantive, as it did before the emergency arbitrator. Hence, the duplicative approach may render the entire process undertaken to secure the EA order redundant to a large extent, if not entirely.
While several strategic, commercial and other considerations are at play in this case, could Amazon consider an alternative and arguably, more pragmatic approach? Namely, could it enforce the EA order as an interim order of a foreign court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) by applying principles of comity under private international law? This is what I surmise:
1. An emergency arbitrator is an arbitral tribunal under Section 2(1) of the Singapore International Arbitration Act, 2002 (IIA). It is assumed that Singapore is the seat of the Amazon arbitration based on available newspaper reports.
2. Under Section 12(6) of the IAA, all orders (including EA orders) are enforceable in the same manner as if they were orders made by a court. Further, where leave is so given by the High Court of Singapore upon such a request by Amazon, judgment may be entered in terms of the order or direction, i.e. the EA order would assume the status of an order of the High Court of Singapore.
3. Interim or interlocutory orders of foreign courts have time-and-again been recognised and enforced by Indian courts as a matter of principle of comity of courts and due respect must be given even to such orders passed by a foreign court, which is a facet of private international law. [See e.g., Surya Vadanan v. State of Tamil Nadu & Ors] Thus, in common law, interim orders of foreign courts would be enforceable as a matter of enforcing an obligation imposed by the foreign court except, perhaps, for any “special and compelling” reasons as per the Indian court, which is subject to the court’s determination and has a high threshold. Three considerations need emphasis here:
(a) In this case, Section 44A of the CPC will not be applicable as this provision is only applicable to money decrees, whereas the EA order is an injunctive/restraining order. Hence, enforcement of the order via a suit action will have to be at common law, applying principles of comity that Indian courts have embraced in enforcing interim/interlocutory orders of foreign courts.
(b) Since Section 44A would not apply, it would also not be important to consider whether or not Singapore is a reciprocating territory and whether the High Court of Singapore is notified as a “superior court.” Having said that, Singapore is recognised as a reciprocating territory by India and the High Court of Singapore has been classified as a “superior court” whose judgments are enforceable in India for the purposes of Section 44A.
(c) In this case, the court would not be concerned with Section 13 of the CPC, which provision is concerned with a final adjudication by a foreign court (see Surya Vadanan).
4. Amazon could thus file a suit to enforce the order/judgment of the High Court of Singapore in the appropriate Commercial Court in India, which could be the High Court of Delhi given Future Retail has filed caveats in this Court on November 3. Any objection made by Future will be determined by the Court on the high threshold of “special and compelling” reasons.
Meanwhile, pending determination of the suit, as compared to a petition under Section 9, there is a greater likelihood of Amazon securing interim relief until the suit is decided by the Court because of the judicial deference to a ruling of a foreign court as mentioned above.
Accordingly, with the limited information available thus far about the Amazon arbitration, the author surmises that having the EA order confirmed as an order/judgment of the Singapore High Court and then enforcing it in a Commercial Court in India is a viable alternative for Amazon to consider and perhaps, better than the duplicative approach. Unlike the scenario under Section 9, the enforcing Indian court is not expected to delve into the respective contentions of the parties on the merit or the existence of a prima facie case. Rather, only a requisite satisfaction of the court is needed, that the order/judgment was granted by the foreign court fairly and judiciously.
There is probably more than currently meets the eye in the Amazon arbitration, with many determinative factors and reasons to consider before either party takes any further steps. What is certain is that this arbitration and specifically, the EA order, has provided much food for thought for arbitration practitioners to discuss, debate and deliberate the issue of the enforcement of EA orders in India. It also presents an exciting opportunity to analyse this issue more holistically by considering alternative approaches, such as the one posited in this piece because such an approach could be pursued in other contexts, if not in the present case.

title: Apple rings

text:
These Apple Rings are chewy, oven-baked apple slices covered with a delicious chewy dough and coated with crunchy cinnamon sugar.
You can find the full recipe, including tips, step-by-step photos, video, storage instructions, detailed allergy swaps, FAQ, and save at: https://www.theconsciousplantkitchen.com/apple-rings/ or scan the QR code here ➡
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk self-rising flour and apple juice until a batter forms. Set aside.
Slice apples with a sharp knife into about 1/4 inch slices (0.6 cm). I get 16 slices, if you get more, you might need to prepare more batter to cover the apple rings. Set aside.
Use a piping nozzle or metallic bottle cap to core the apple and form an apple ring.
Dip each apple ring in the batter, pull it out, and keep it for a few seconds above the bowl to let the excess batter run down. If some batter unsticks from the apple ring at this point, that ok.
Release the apple rings on the prepared baking sheet, and use a teaspoon to fill any gaps where some batter might be missing.
Bake the apple rings on the center rack of the oven at 375 °F (190 °C) until golden brown - about 20 minutes.
Let them cool down on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before coating them.
To coat, mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow plate.
Brush the lukewarm apple rings with melted vegan butter, then press them into the cinnamon sugar.
Note 1: Equivalent to 1 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour + 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. I didn't try all-purpose gluten-free flour, but some good quality 1:1 blend should work.Note 2: Use freshly squeezed apple juice sold in the fresh juice section of your store. The recipe work with any other juice, or water and a teaspoon of extract you love for flavors.

8 February 2021
Topics: ADF support to Victoria, hotel quarantine.
SAMANTHA ARMYTAGE: Victoria's hotel quarantine system will receive a major boost this morning after their flight was turned back at the 11th hour last night. The first wave of ADF personnel are expected to fly into Melbourne to bolster security across 22 hotels.
DAVID KOCH: Now, the planned arrival, however, came as a shock to the state's Health Minister after an earlier request for assistance was knocked back around Christmas time.
MARTIN FOLEY: Well, I’m not particularly briefed on that matter.
DAVID KOCH: Last night’s plane was cancelled for operational reasons.
SAMANTHA ARMYTAGE: And for more Defence Minister Linda Reynolds joins us now from Canberra. Minister, good morning to you. How closely is the Federal Government working with the States? The Health Minister there in Victoria didn't seem to know, really, what was going on regarding hotel quarantine.
MINISTER REYNOLDS: Good morning. And I can confirm that we received a request from the Premier of Victoria – from Dan Andrews on the 29th of January – he wrote to the Prime Minister and made an additional request for ADF personnel to go from 12 to 22 hotel support in Victoria. We accepted that and we are well underway. The incident you're referring to was, we had due last night for 64 members of the third brigade in Townsville to fly by C-130 down to Melbourne. Unfortunately, on arrival it had some technical issues but again, the Royal Australian Air Force being the can-do organisation, we got 50 down to Melbourne last night and the rest will come by civilian air today. So, in relation to the Minister not being aware, this was a request from his own Premier. So that's not an issue for the Federal Government. It's really a communication issue between a Premier and his Minister.
DAVID KOCH: That’s fair enough. Now, the Emergency Services Minister would like to see the ADF help out with floor monitoring to take some of the load off the police. What roles will Defence Force personnel be carrying out?
MINISTER REYNOLDS: Well, Koshi we've had over 14,000 ADF personnel over the last year providing a whole range of support, some of which were things that the ADF does very well. Operational support, planning, administration and also, we've done things that we haven't traditionally done at the request of states and territories. Everything from working in aged care to driving ambulances to working on state borders and also hotel quarantine. But a really important point Koshi, is that, the Defence forces are not state police. And quite deliberately in our Constitution we're here to protect our national borders, not do domestic law enforcement. So, we do not have the power that state and territory police do and nor should we. So, we're doing everything we can but that is one step too far. So, we've been very consistent in our advice to states and territories that we can help with general duties at hotels which we have been doing. But we can't sit on hallways – have our highly trained ADF sitting in hallways because they have no powers to stop and apprehend.
SAMANTHA ARMYTAGE: And they have been extraordinary – our ADF – in helping out this hotel quarantine. We thank you for your time this morning, Minister.
LINDA REYNOLDS: Anytime.

Crews tackle fire in recycling centre
A number of crews have attended the scene of a fire at a recycling centre in Burslem.
We received a call shortly before 11am this morning (Wednesday 10 July) to reports of a fire at waste-management unit in Sneyd Hill.
In its height, six crews and the aerial ladder platform were used to bring the fire under control.
No one has been reported injured at this time.
A full inspection into the cause is underway, but we believe it may have been caused accidentally by a lithium-ion battery.
Group Manager James Green, said: “Since the fire began this morning, we’ve managed to get it under control and have since scaled back our attendance at the scene.
“While an investigation into the cause of the fire is being carried out, I want to advise people that disposing of batteries inappropriately can not only cause damage to the environment but also increases the risk of fires occurring.
“Incidents such as this present a real challenge to the waste industry and we would urge local businesses and households to ensure that batteries are separated from general waste and disposed of appropriately via one of the many battery recycling schemes in operation.
“The energy density of batteries has increased significantly in recent years as the technology has developed and even the smallest battery has the potential to cause a serious fire.”

Explaining Achievement Disparities between the United States and South Korea
Park, Eun Jung
The educational systems and environments of the United States and South Korea drastically differ, and yet little research has focused on explaining which factors lead to differences in student achievement outcomes. Using the data on mathematics and reading literacy of 15-year-olds from the Program for International Student Assessment, this dissertation aims to reveal how student- and school-level factors are associated with student achievement outcomes within and between these two countries. I find that (1) schools are differentiated in both countries but the extent to which schools are segregated along the line of family SES is greater in the United States than in Korea; (2) Within-country examination revealed that school factors and their relationships with student achievement differ considerably between Korea and the United States. For instance, school autonomy measures have strong and positive relationship with school performance in Korea, whereas they have no statistical significant relationship with school performance in the United States. Also, school accountability measures, including positing achievement data is positively associated with student achievement in the U.S., but is negatively related with achievement in Korea; (3) Korean educational success is largely attained by the role played by parents, and to a lesser extent by the school factors. Parental involvement in education beyond the family's socioeconomic status is found to have strong relationship with student achievement; (4) Shadow education is the major factor that explains the U.S.-Korea achievement gap. The shadow education participation is positively related with student achievement in Korea, whereas it is negatively related with student achievement in the United States. Whether the finding indicates the causal relationship needs to be further examined. In other words, the question remains whether shadow education causes Korean students to achieve higher and U.S. students to achieve lower, or whether there exists the issue of self-selection, where in Korea, high achievers participate in shadow education to excel higher, and in the U.S., low-achievers participate in shadow education for remedial purposes.
