China's IT services market will witness strong growth after recovering from a slight slowdown in the wake of the global economic downturn. The total domestic IT services spending in 2011 is expected to grow by 12% over 2010, finds the latest report "PRC IT Services Report: 2010" from Springboard Research. The Chinese market for 2011 is expected to reach US$11.5 billion, representing 22% of the overall APEJ (Asia Pacific excluding Japan) IT services market.
Springboard Research finds that discrete IT services constituted 90% of mainland China's IT services market in 2010 and are set to continue growing on the back of new IT project rollouts. Systems integration, infrastructure deployment and support services will continue to have the largest portion of the discrete IT services market in the coming years.
The domestic IT outsourcing market is expected to remain in the early adoption stage over the next five years, although it is growing at a faster pace than that of the discrete services segment.
Going forward, Springboard Research expects the IT services market in China to continue its rapid growth, which will be driven by:
1. Government support: The Chinese government's stimulus initiatives for the 12th 5-year plan will focus on expanding domestic demand which as a consequence will also stimulate IT expenditures from government entities and state-owned enterprises.
2. Private cloud computing: New delivery models like private cloud computing are expected to fuel IT services growth in 2011. "The emerging trend of adopting virtualization/private cloud deployment will bring more opportunities to system integration service providers in China," noted Gene Cao, Senior Analyst, IT Services, Springboard Research.
3. Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR): Limited internal BCDR capabilities and expensive rental costs for data centers result in growing opportunities for BCDR service providers. The majority of the investment in BCDR services is expected to come from banking, financial services, and government organizations in China.
"Multinational service providers are now focusing on expanding their geographic coverage to tier 2 and 3 cities in China. Springboard Research expects the competition will intensify dramatically over the next few years in this rapidly expanding and maturing market," notes Fred Giron, VP - IT Services, Springboard Research.

The Ultimate Rock Guitarist is a professionally-produced interactive DVD by Lindo Guitars. It has been created to give you the ultimate introduction to learning the electric guitar the right way; connect this knowledge with well known rock songs and provide you with the tools to keep progressing. Here we have an introduction to the key principals of guitar technique, theory and practice; taught enthusiastically and at the right pace.
Using modern video and graphical methods to provide a coherent visual accompaniment throughout, the lessons are divided into easy-to-follow chapters. Starting with the teaching of basic 'patterns' (the most straight-forward method to understanding guitar chords and shapes) and taking you all the way through to soloing and improvisation.
Rich Weaver holds a Diploma in Professional Guitar from the prestigious Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California (Paul Gilbert, John Frusciante). His knowledge and skill is second-to-none and his unique teaching style is both engaging and fun.

Excellent DVD. Rick Weaver explains every simple detail and you can keep on replaying sections of the DVD until you get it right before moving onto the next section. The explanation and showing of chords is excellent. I would highly recommend this DVD for those that respond better to visual aids than to reading a book.Log in to Reply

Being on my first steps in learning the electric guitar, I have found this course as an excellent introduction to it. The videos do not only cover the basic techniques but also a lot of advice on how to achieve a better sound and to my surprise. Quite a few well known riffs are provided to keep you engaged with your lessons.Log in to Reply
An very good option and definitely a value for money purchase from Lindo.

I have been playing guitar for 12 months and have a basic knowledge of chords and scales. The thing I struggle with is strumming patterns and this DVD has helped me understand better. The teaching is clear and simple to understand. I have only done the first two sessions as I think to be thorough if I do too much I forget everything!! So far it has helped a lot.Log in to Reply

I bought this DVD after seeing numerous positives reviews, and it seems they are all correct. Having recently purchased an electric guitar and being a complete novice, I am impressed how it starts with the complete basics, is easy to follow and straightforward.
I can thoroughly recommend this DVD for beginners, its certainly inspired me to continue, having initially got frustrated about my lack of knowledge of the basic chords and tunings. Some of the tunes it teaches you are pretty cool too, can't wait to learn 'Smells like Teen Spirit.Log in to Reply

Mr J Missin27th January 2016 -
Bought this as a beginner guitarist. Although I would say it is more geared for those who have already got the fundamental basics I would advise that by following this from the start and not skip any sections you will find it informative and relatively easy to follow. The bonus being that you learn some great tunes fairly quickly too!Log in to Reply

Delivered within 2 days over the Xmas period which in itself is to be commended but having gone over all of the chapters already I am so glad I opted for this particular tutorial DVD. It starts with all of the basics in a manner that would presume the user knows absolutely nothing and progresses in a manner that allows a one stop learning solution.Log in to Reply

Tim Atwood13th September 2015 -
I enjoyed this DVD for after my 20 year sabbatical from trying to learn the guitar. Goes through an easy sequence of major chords, minor chords, power chords, scales etc, with songs to play in each lesson. Just remember to practice between the lessons rather than watching it all straight through. A little bit more on the scales and improv in the last lesson would have been good, and I didn't love the reference to various figuring patterns instead of just referring to the chords themselves. Worth the money.Log in to Reply

A good buy
I highly recommended this DVD for anybody starting out on guitar or even intermediate players looking to brush up on the basics. The DVD moves along at a nice pace instructor Rich Weaver does a good job of getting the information across without moving too quickly or using complicated language. Some other beginners DVD's I've seen tend to blind the watcher with too much music theory which can put new players off. All the information presented here is concise and to the point and easy to follow.
The DVD covers several fundamental areas of playing guitar
major chords, minor chords, bar chords, power chords and the minor pentatonic scale.
All of the techniques and concepts presented are backed up using musical examples of well known songs so that while you are learning the basics you are also learning some well known riffs to impress your family and friends.
All in all this DVD is good value for money, well presented and the information contained will give you a good base to build your guitar playing knowledge on.
My only criticism (and it is just a minor one) is that on the close up shots of the fretting hand a small picture in picture of the what the picking hand is doing would also have been helpful.Log in to Reply

Episode 117 - Top Gun vs. Minority Report (w/ Tom Reimann and Abe Epperson)
Doah replied to DaltonMaltz's topic in The CanonFrom above: "Minority Report-is-by far-the superior film..." -ijustliketowatch "I really don't like Top Gun. Like, at all. I think Minority Report is by far a superior film..." -mrm1138 Yes. I agree.
Episode 117 - Top Gun vs. Minority Report (w/ Tom Reimann and Abe Epperson)
Doah replied to DaltonMaltz's topic in The CanonAmy, you're one of my favorite people out there on the Internet/podcasts. I share your exasperation over Jerry Maguire not making it into the Cannon. I just didn't get how people could "be against" Jerry Maguire. That said, I was so frustrated with you on this episode because the way you bashed Minority Report made it very clear that you weren't just guaranteeing that a Tom Cruise movie got into the Cannon, you were shoe-horning Top Gun in by putting it up against a selection you thought was weak. Compared with Born on the Fourth of July, Magnolia, or Vanilla Sky, yes, Minority Report is a weak movie. However, as movies, I rate Top Gun a 2-star film, I give Minority Report 4 stars. That's why I'm voting Minority Report. Not that Rotten Tomatoes is the end-all-be-all, but Minority Report has a 90% critics vs. Top Gun with 56%. I have to say that is pretty spot on. If Top Gun makes it into the Cannon I'm gonna be very put out. For me, putting Top Gun in the Cannon would be like putting Pretty Woman or Point Break in. I just can't do it.
Episode 111 - Lost in Translation vs. Marie Antoinette (w/ Stephanie Zacharek)
Doah replied to DaltonMaltz's topic in The CanonI adore Marie Antoinette so much, but I had to vote for Lost in Translation. Here's why, I rank Sofia's films in this order: 1. Lost in Translation 2. The Virgin Suicides 3. Marie Antoinette 4. The Beguiled 5. Somewhere 6. The Bling Ring So, since Marie Antoinette is my third-favorite Sofia film, I gotta go Lost in Translation, even though Marie Antoinette is a 5-star (out of 5 stars) film for me. I loved this episode so much. My favorite ever.
Top Gun
Doah replied to bri-witched's topic in Movie SuggestionsHow about Top Gun vs. Pretty Woman, the ultimate crap-off?
What are the most Canon worthy films of this decade?
Doah replied to Llewellyn_Wells's topic in The CanonI see your point, but I would argue that, ironically, both the movies you gave as examples do reflect the zeitgeist of our times. With Melancholia, it is, in my opinion, the best movie about depression, period. Being that 14 million people suffer from depression, and that the movie is a metaphor for it, "Melancholia is hurtling toward us and it's going to be our ruin," I'd say it's a perfect reflection and needs to be considered. Similarly, Nightcrawler captures today's defining mood in the sense that speaks to contemporary journalism and the way that every amateur with a camera is now a potential expert. I'd love to see them both considered.
Overlooked great movies
Doah replied to JJ95's topic in The CanonA Most Wanted Man made my top 10 list for 2014. Thus, I agree. I would say that The American is one of the overlooked greats as well, also Anton Corbijn. Some others for me are A Single Man (Tom Ford), Melancholia (Lars von Trier), Frida (Julie Taymor), and Glengarry Glen Ross (James Foley).
Your Indulgence Picks
Doah replied to HoldenMartinson's topic in The CanonIf we're doing indulgence, and not obvious great movies, my picks are: Where's Poppa? - Carl Reiner (1970) The Mosquito Coast - Peter Weir (1986) Bring It On - Peyton Reed (2000)
Favorite and least favorite movies in The Canon
Doah replied to j_scanlon's topic in The CanonFavorite: The Grand Budapest Hotel Least Favorite: Mad Max: Fury Road Favorite Out: Jerry Maguire
Suggestion - Peter O'Toole "vs." episode: Becket vs. The Lion in Winter
Doah posted a topic in Movie SuggestionsMy favorite all-time actor is Peter O'Toole. Imagine this: an 8-time Oscar nominee and no wins! Obviously, Lawrence of Arabia is just too much of a no-brainer, so let's not go through the motions there. My suggestion is that we do the two movies for which he was nominated for playing King Henry II. I would like to have you put up Peter Glenville's Becket (1964) against Anthony Harvey's The Lion in Winter (1968). Trust me, these are two stellar performances in two remarkable movies. This would be a difficult choice. Given that he was nominated for both of these for playing the same character (not a sequel), I think this is a brilliant idea for an episode. I adore you two, and I love the Canon!
Homework: Se7en (1995)
Doah replied to nickperkins's topic in The CanonI own it. Not my #1 Fincher, but still one of a handful of "5 star" movies from him. Excited for this.
The Bridge On The River Kwai vs. Lawrence Of Arabia
Doah replied to Marsellus_H's topic in Movie SuggestionsFine, we do a versus. It is written.
Make the first Paul Thomas Anderson movie hard and do Punch-Drunk Love
Doah replied to Newlin's topic in Movie SuggestionsAll respect to Groovy-guy above, dude, for me, Magnolia is tied for the best film made in my lifetime, tied with Schindler's List for me. Devin, good to hear. I feel the same way about PTA. All his films are fantastic. As for Newlin, and this suggestion, I agree. Let's get Punch-Drunk Love in. I adore that movie. Clearly the best film Adam Sandler has ever been in.
The Bridge On The River Kwai vs. Lawrence Of Arabia
Doah replied to Marsellus_H's topic in Movie SuggestionsNot into this one. I love them both too much. They both should be.
Episode 75: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Doah replied to devincf's topic in The CanonI am voting yes for a very simple reason: This film made me FEEL deeply for these men. Side note: My favorite Ang Lee film is The Ice Storm.
List of all Canonized and no-votes on Earwolf PLEASE!
Doah posted a topic in The CanonHi Canon team! Can we please get a pinned list of all Canonized films to date as well as all those already not approved for the Canon please? We need this on Earwolf and we need it prominently displayed please. Thanks!
Homework: Batman (1989) vs. Superman (1978)
Doah replied to nickperkins's topic in The CanonGood thing I very very recently just got the Superman The Movie (1978) and Superman II DVDs from Netflix and watched them with my son. I like Donner's Superman so much more than that awful Man of Steel. Not sure how I'll vote since it's up against Batman. So, half my homework done.
Episode 69 - The Christs
Doah replied to Shannon's topic in The CanonWish there was a vote for "neither" - I'm not trolling. Love you both, love this show. However, Apocalypto is the Gibson film to put in. Temptation is hardly Scorsese's best. For watchability, I have to give it to to Passion. Temptation was so hard for me to get through, even watched it a second time which was two too many for me.
Episode 68 - Antichrist (w/ Michael Lerman)
Doah replied to JulyDiaz's topic in The CanonNO! However, let me say that I actually like Antichrist. I am a big fan of Lars von Trier. He is one of the few directors that makes me stretch myself every time. The reason I vote no on this is something that Amy brought up, and I was thinking it before she said it. If we are to put a von Trier film in the Cannon, for me, it has to me Melancholia. Melancholia is such a better film than Antichrist. I know Michael did not like this reason for not putting a film in the Cannon, but I think it is a valid reason. Please do Melancholia in the future. I side with Amy on this one. No for Antichrist.

Video: Mossberg's Interview with Apple's Senior VP of Operations
Earlier this afternoon we posted a brief report on Apple's Senior VP of Operations talking about working conditions in China. Now view a video segment of some of the highlights from that Mossberg interview that took place earlier today at the Re/code event.
At the end of the interview, if you let the video run, there's a video snippet of the late CEO of SurveyMonkey Dave Goldberg talking to Re/code's Kara Swisher. Goldberg suddenly passed away on May 1, 2015 during an exercise accident while on holidays with his family. See a fuller segment here.

Sally and Mohan were waiting at the gate of Royal Wildlife Lodge as we pulled up in the Jeep. She was petite and elegant, with olive skin and shoulder length, dark wavy hair, cascading out from under a safari hat. She wore no make-up or jewellery other than a simple nose stud. Mohan was a short, rotund man sporting a moustache, the Indian male essential, and had a twinkle in his eye, it was impossible not to take to them immediately.
'Hi, welcome. You must be Jo, I am Sally and this is Mohan. Puneeta has told us all about you. How brave you are coming out here to do this, but it will be great to have some company after these guys have left.'
Mohan was a keen wildlife aficionado and Sally worked with the local tribal populations of the area, the main ones, as Puneeta had told me being the Gonds and the Baigas. They had been running the lodge for six years. We entered the dining area, an open sided thatched roofed building, common in these parts and staff appeared to take our drinks order.
Puneeta and Sally ordered nimbu pannis and asked me if I would like the same but, sensing a co-conspirator Mohan said 'Nonsense, nothing like a cold beer at the end of the day; Jo, you'll join me won't you?' Who was I to decline? As we waited for the drinks, Mohan alerted me to a rustling in the trees.
'Ah, just in time, hear that Jo? If you look up, you will see our resident flying squirrel. Same time every evening, he glides between the trees.' I peered up into the Sal trees and saw it just as it prepared to launch itself and then flew, or more accurately, glided from its perch to the nearby Jamun tree, 'Flying squirrels are notoriously hard to spot, being nocturnal but at dusk every evening this one does a solo performance for us.'
The drinks arrived. 'So, what made you decide to leave London and come to Kanha?' asked Sally.
'I don't know really. I mean, it wasn't planned, I was just a bit fed up of London, and then Puneeta asked me if I knew of anyone who could help out for the season and I thought, "Why not me?" and so here I am and loving it.'
'Just three weeks? Seriously? What did John have to say? He can't have been happy that you were leaving Indian Experiences, and isn't there anyone at home who would object?'
I was beginning to learn the art of Indian subtlety on a personal scale and Sally had obviously perfected it. This was where India was a paradox. On the one hand, complete strangers were happy to come up and ask you the most personal questions but, talking amongst friends, one quite often had to pick out a subtle hidden meaning in a sentence. This one was obviously, fishing to find out if I had a boyfriend.
Mohan was expertly pouring my beer and I watched the pale, golden liquid fill the glass, a crest of white bubbles forming on top, before replying. 'Well, there is a guy I have been seeing for eighteen months or so but, well, it hasn't been going too well recently and so this seemed like a great chance to get away and get some head space.'
'Well, you should manage that here, there is plenty of time to think and not many opportunities to meet men either, Puneeta and I are two of the lucky ones.'
'Oh, it's not going as quietly as she thought, is it Jo?' Puneeta grinned at me. I chose to remain silent, took a sip of beer and looked at her over the rim of my glass.
She continued, 'A certain person seems to have taken a bit of a shine to Kanha's latest arrival.'
'Oh, who's that?' Mohan asked.
Puneeta was enjoying watching me squirm, I glared at her but she wasn't about to be put off by that.
'Oh you know, a certain camp owner from Bandhavgarh, who seems to be spending an inordinate amount of time in Kanha these days.'
'That's nothing, he's not interested in me, he just wants to poach me to run his lodge.' I tried to laugh it off.
'I think he wants more than just to have you run his lodge,' said Puneeta.
'This wouldn't be our semi-resident, infamous womaniser would it?' asked Sally. 'If so, you need to be careful, he has a bit of a reputation, especially with the foreign ladies.'
'So I've heard, and in any case I've enough to sort out with Burke, I don't need any more complications.'
'Well,' added Sally, 'to be fair, you shouldn't be too hard on him, he isn't really the love them and leave them type, he has had his heart broken too. He was with Margot for a couple of years and seemed very happy but then she decided she couldn't live in the jungle and just upped and left.'
I was intrigued but couldn't afford to go there and so I decided to change the subject.
'So, how long have you been here, and how did you two meet?'
'I came out to do a season just like you and Mohan was the naturalist at the lodge I was working at. Fortunately his parents aren't too traditional and so agreed to a love marriage. As we live out here, we don't get the agro from certain circles so spending our lives living in the relative isolation of the jungle together works perfectly.' Said Sally.
'Yes,' growled Mohan, good humouredly 'Here, I can be out in the park for 10 hours a day, and then in the evenings she entertains the guests, so we only have to see each other between 10 pm and 5 am, its ideal. It's the off season when the park is closed and I can't get away from her nagging that the trouble starts, these foreigners have funny ideas about wanting to spend time together.'
We all laughed as Sally shook her head and rolled her eyes good naturedly.
'So, will you be here until the end of the season?' he asked.
'That's the plan, Krishnan will have to leave around the beginning of Feb at the latest so I will stay until the end and close up.'
'And then what?'
'Honestly? I have no idea, I haven't thought that far ahead. I am meant to go back to London, I only took a six month sabbatical, but I can already see that I won't really want to do that. So, I guess I'll see what happens nearer the time. There is too much to take in here first, no point in wishing time away!'
'True, true.' Nodded Mohan. 'Now then, a top up Jo?'
I glanced at Puneeta and raised my eyebrows, giving an unspoken, message that hopefully this wasn't going to be another Rajeev style encounter.
Picking up on it immediately she said, 'Oh no, you're fine, have another.' And with that she regaled them with my arrival story. I could already see that this was going to become a familiar tale told in these parts.
Mohan guffawed and banged the table, causing all the drinks to jump. 'Excellent, excellent! Forewarned is forearmed and you weren't, talk about being thrown right in at the deep end!'
I nodded. 'You can say that again.'
Mohan continued 'He really is a great guy, but yes, get caught unawares and you can end up with quite a sore head. I usually only go and visit if I know we have no clients to take on safari the next day.'
'That sounds sensible.' I agreed, and lifted my glass to cheers Mohan.
'His wife, Joylet, is charming, really lovely but she doesn't spend much time here as she has her own conservation projects and charities to run based out of Delhi and so I think he gets a bit lonely,' added Sally. 'We should make an effort to invite them both over or go and visit when she is here, she is an amazing lady and she can tell you about the work she does with the railway children, its commendable, and somehow she manages to keep him in check, so it's easier to visit when she is around.'
'Pah,' said Mohan, 'He is more fun when she isn't around, I'll take you up one night Jo, there's not much that can compare with London nightlife here and it's fun to let loose once in a while.'
Puneeta and Sally raised their eyebrows, 'Good luck with that,' they said in unison.
Thanks, but once bitten, twice shy, I would like to meet Joylet though.'
'Done!' Exclaimed Mohan, 'Sally will coordinate, won't you dear?'
'Yes dear, of course dear' she replied, winking at me. 'Oh and speaking of heading in that direction, I picked up some emails for you earlier Puneeta.' And with that she asked one of the boys to bring her a set of papers. 'I wrote down most of the bookings but there were a couple I printed, actually there is one for you Jo.' They often checked each other's emails if someone was going to town. She handed over a sheet of paper. They were all so conscious about recycling that printing a whole set of emails wasn't their style.
'Oh, thanks.' I glanced down at it, it was an email from Burke sent a couple of days earlier.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hey babe,
How's it going? I got your mail and would love come and see for myself what havoc you are causing in the jungle, you crazy chick. I can't take much time out as I have to go with Sandy to America but I should have a couple of weeks before I do so. Will let you know dates as soon as I have them. Love you.
The bloody audacity! So typical of him not to apologise and what part of we had split up didn't he get? A. He wasn't invited and b. Throwing his wife into the mix as if I had accepted the situation and not buggered off to the jungle to get away from it!
Puneeta caught my expression. 'Is everything okay?'
'I don't know really. It's an E-mail from Burke, saying he may come and visit. I'm not sure how I feel about that.'
Sally looked puzzled, 'Oh, why not?'
I sighed and shrugged.
Sally looked concerned, 'Sorry, I didn't meant to pry, you, don't have to tell us.'
'No, that's ok, it's just, well, I recently found out he is married, not divorced which is what he had originally told me and so technically, we have split up, on my instigation. They have been separated, I mean all the time we were together but now she has come back he says it's not to get back together but who knows? That was all going on when I got the email from Puneeta and figured being out here would give me the chance to sort my head out.'
'Absolutely, what a toad! You poor thing.'
I shrugged. 'Yes, that seems to be the general consensus. We actually get on brilliantly, and he is great, but to be honest, I never thought I was completely in love with him but, what is love really, isn't a great companion better than the thunderbolt? I have been there and done that, which was also a disaster.'
Sally nodded sympathetically. 'Right, I see, tricky.'
'Yes,' I agreed reaching for my glass, 'tricky is a good word for it. Anyway, that's enough of that.'
Over dinner Sally told me a little about the tribes of the area and the work she does with them.
'There are two main tribes in Madhya Pradesh. The Baigas are traditionally subsistence dwellers who live off the land but won't even dig it. They are hunter gatherers and now, with much of the forests being designated national parks, they are struggling to exist in their traditional ways. It is such a shame as we can learn so much from them, they understand the land and the animals, the benefits of the plants and traditional herbal recipes and remedies.'
Puneeta looked at me, 'Mahsingh is a Baiga,' and I nodded in understanding. A couple of weeks earlier, not watching what I was doing, I had caught my arm on nail sticking out of a piece of wood in the wall of the office and gouged a deep and nasty cut on my forearm. I was cleaning it in the sink outside the kitchen when Mahsingh had strolled over, stopped to look at what I was doing, nodded at me and walked off. I had just shrugged and carried on with what I was doing.
A couple of hours later, Puneeta and I were sitting on the balcony, my arm had just about stopped bleeding and we were discussing how severe the scar would be, when he reappeared with a bowl containing a yellow paste. He indicated that I apply this to the cut, which I did. Ten days later, the wound had healed completely with barely a scar. The magic treatment had been what he called 'haldi' root or turmeric which has been known for centuries by these tribes to be a natural antiseptic and to speed up the healing of wounds.
Sally continued, 'They are also animists and instead of worshipping gods and goddesses like most people of India, they worship elements such as fire, earth, water, air and the hills, and a lot of their worship and sacrifices come in the form of alcohol and domestic animals. They are struggling now with having to remain in one place and with modern inventions such as plastic and littering which causes huge problem so we are working to educate them against it. Plastic is such a curse, clogging up the countryside, creating pools of stagnant water which are breeding grounds for mosquitos, the incidences of malaria have increased considerably since it was introduced.'
The sound of a vehicle's wheels crunching on the driveway followed by the slamming of a car door distracted us. A few seconds later Abishek walked into the dining area. I felt my face heat up and thanked the lord and all the 300,000 Indian gods, and threw in the hills and trees too, that the evenings were spent in semi darkness with only dim and flickering light from the campfire or kerosene lamps to illuminate obvious embarrassment.
Sally nudged me and then stood to greet him, 'Abishek, this is a surprise.' She said whilst Puneeta looked sideways at me, 'What brings you here?'
'I've been trying to tie up my land negotiations, I'm looking at a plot here and it finished quite late and so I thought I would call in and say hello on the way back to Uncle's.'
'How lovely. Have you eaten?'
'No, but please don't worry, I can eat when I get back.'
'Nonsense, nonsense, we were just about to order some snacks, now where is Ravi?'
'Great, great, it's turning into quite a party' grinned Mohan, 'what'll you have, beer or whiskey?'
'Beer, thanks. Jo, Puneeta, now the surprise is all mine, a pleasant one of course.'
'Puneeta just brought Jo across to meet us, well I know she has seen Mohan in the park but to meet us properly.'
'Well, it's good to get to know the neighbours.' He smiled at me for a little longer than was strictly necessary, a fact which the others noted.
'I was just telling Jo about the Baigas and Gonds when you arrived.'
Puneeta interjected. 'Yes, we also try to encourage our guests to visit the tribal market at Surekha rather than go on safari. It's quite a tough sell, but it's good to encourage all round activities in the area rather than just focus on the tiger. I know that is why the majority of people come here, but the poor animals do get hounded and we try and teach our clients a little about the impact of tourism to the national parks and the locals and the environment too, without being too preachy of course.'
'That's a really good idea,' said Abishek, 'What day is that?'
'Every Friday; we usually send the guests after lunch and then they have a picnic on the way back at the river crossing. The ones who go, really enjoy it.'
'Friday? That's the day after, right?' This was a classic Indianism, the day after meaning the day after tomorrow. 'I am still here then, I don't go back to Bandhavgarh until Saturday. I might go and check it out. If you haven't been, Jo, why don't you come with me?' And then without waiting for my answer, which was handy as I seemed to have lost my power of speech, he turned to Puneeta, 'Is she free on Friday?'
I ventured a glance beyond the rim of my glass, where my eyes had been focused for several seconds. Never before had eyebrows had such an intense work out and not so covert glances were flying around the table faster than lasers in a London night club.
Sally nudged her and nodded, 'Yes, yes, of course,' Puneeta was delighted, 'There's nothing pressing at camp and we've been saying for a couple of weeks now that she should go. What a good idea.'
'Great, great.' Nodded Mohan, 'The market, good idea. Now, what's this about land?'
I looked from Sally to Puneeta, 'Why don't you come too, if you guys know your way around?' I almost implored, feeling a mild sense of panic and not wanting to be involved in the kind of set up I had just left London to escape.
'Not at all,' replied Sally, 'I have friends coming from Nagpur on Friday, and Puneeta, didn't you say you wanted to catch up with them?'
'Yes, absolutely, it's been ages since I have seen them.'
I looked at them through narrowed eyes and wanted to ask just who were these mystery, nameless people who I was sure had just been conveniently conjured up.
'So, Friday it is then', confirmed Puneeta, looking terribly pleased with herself.
'Excellent' said Abishek, trying but failing to catch my gaze. 'I'll pick you up around two o'clock.' And with that, he turned to Mohan to discuss the trials of his land purchase.
I glared at Puneeta who was sharing a conspiratorial smile with Sally.
'Now now, don't be like that, you could do with cheering up, and what better way than an afternoon in the afternoon of a handsome man?' She whispered.
'Not a ladies man, please!' I implored.
Sally looked at me, 'Seriously, he's not as bad as I am sure Puneeta made him sound, like I said, he's also had some bad luck, anyway, it's a market visit, where's the harm?'
I nodded and forced a smile, it seemed that there was to be no getting out of it and let's face it, they were right, there were worse people to spend the afternoon with.

ACAS publishes new guidance on NDAs
ACAS have published new advice to help employers and workers understand what non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are and how to prevent their misuse.
The ACAS guidance says that employers should consider whether an NDA is needed in the first place as their misuse can be very damaging to their organisation. NDAs, says ACAS, cannot be used to stop someone from:
- reporting discrimination or sexual harassment at work or to the police
- whistleblowing, or
- disclosing a future act of discrimination or harassment
NDAs should not be used to hide a problem or brush it under the carpet. If an employer still wishes to use an NDA then ACAS advice is that employers should:
- always give a clear explanation of why one is being proposed and what it is intending to achieve
- ensure a worker is given reasonable time to carefully consider it as they may wish to seek union or legal advice on its implications
- think about whether it is better to address an issue head on rather than try to cover it up, and
- never use NDAs routinely
These types of agreements should be written in clear, plain English that is simple to understand and leaves no room for ambiguity. Managers who are involved with these types of agreements should be well trained in using them and businesses should have a clear and consistent policy around them that are regularly reviewed and reported on.
The ACAS guide comes a few months after similar guidance from the EHRC.
Barry Ross comments:
'The guidance recognises that there are legitimate reasons where both employers and employees want to use an NDA to ensure that both parties have a clean break and confidentiality is in everyone's interests. In doing so, it takes a more pragmatic view of NDAs than can sometimes be portrayed in the media. ACAS takes time to explain that it is important to distinguish between genuine use and situations where an NDA may be misused or used to take advantage of a whistleblower or someone who has been discriminated against or sexually harassed. They make it clear that individuals have a right to report discrimination or sexual harassment in the workplace and that NDAs are not there as a tool to prevent workers from making protected disclosures or "blowing the whistle". The guide also importantly recognises that while an NDA may be used by a company, it is not an excuse to simply brush any organisational problems under the carpet and these must be addressed by them. In this day and age, negative press around NDAs being used incorrectly or in an abusive matter is likely to have grave consequences for a company's profitability, as well as their ability to hire top talent, not least because the younger generation of employees want to ensure more than ever that their employer is aligned to their moral views'.

Hello? Anybody here?
The modes of human inquiry constantly surprise me.
-John Crichton and Ka D'Argo
Well, it's another crazy trip for the crew of Moya in the Uncharted Territories!
This book takes place earlier in the very first season of the Farscape series. Probably a good thing; don't have to worry about all the baggage characters develop in the course of a good series, and it doesn't have to worry about dealing with the ongoing arcs that the series does so well. The early first season episodes stood on their own with minimal interference from previous episodes.
Ship of Ghosts also opens on a scene that must have happened a number of times off-screen, but we'd never seen. Commander Crais of the Peacekeepers has caught up with Moya, with her crew of escaped prisoners, and the man he believes cold-bloodedly murdered his brother…John Crichton of Earth. However, it becomes clear that we're seeing the tail end of their latest meeting, as Moya prepares to StarBurst away-and just before Crais fires off an experimental weapon towards Moya. As a result, a Peacekeeper ship gets carried along, although not all the way.
Later: Moya comes upon a distress signal from a ship of the Nokmadi, a race of navigators that may have maps to all of the crew's homeworlds…possibly including Crichton's. Upon arrival at that ship, however, they discover that reality isn't quite as it seems aboard; in part because of the fact that the Nokmadi don't exactly live in the "material world", and they want nothing more than to leave that existence behind. And strangely enough, one member of Moya's crew qualifies under their legends as the one to do the job.
Usually, I find that books are often better than movies and television; the imagination isn't really restricted by budget, and you can really get in depth about the mindsets of each character. This was not the case with Ship of Ghosts. To be honest, I really didn't like this book. Even for a first-season setting, I found the characters to be "off" in almost every way (with maybe-just maybe-Crichton). Events involving Rygel and the DRD's pushed me over the edge. I'd go into detail, but I wouldn't want to inflict that on anyone else! While I accept that a great deal of Farscape's charm is in the casual goofiness that goes on, this book misuses it badly when it tries to imitate it.
This represents a disturbing trend for me. The first Farscape book was very good, the second mediocre, and this last one hit the area of being awful. Avoid Ship of Ghosts, and keep the fingers crossed that any future Farscape books go back into the opposite direction.

Fifty Shades Of Dakota
Dakota Johnson – daughter of Miami Vice star Don Johnson and longtime Hollywood hottie Melanie Griffith – has been cast in the role of Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of British author E.L. James' book Fifty Shades of Grey.
"My beautiful child Dakota has been chosen to play Anna Steele in 50 Shades," Griffith tweeted on Monday. "Look out world! Here she comes!!!"
Johnson, 23, will star opposite British actor Charlie Hunnam in the movie – which starts filming next month and is slated for an August 2014 release. In addition to a lead gig on Fox's Ben and Kate sitcom, she previously starred in The Social Network – a Facebook biopic whose producers were hand-picked by James to manage this project.
One of those producers – Michael de Luca – tweeted that Johnson and Hunnam were "stunning" together and had "incredible chemistry."
Fans of the series agreed.
"They nailed the casting," one told FITS. "Nailed it."
Fifty Shades of Grey – which explores bondage/ discipline, dominance/ submission, sadism/ masochism (BDSM) and other sexual proclivities in explicit detail – is the first book in a trilogy that has sold more than 70 million copies worldwide.
@fitsnews Ehh. The movie belongs on the Lifetime channel.

Banks rob Isa savers of £1bn in tax breaks
The interest rates on tax-free Isa schemes are being unashamedly manipulated to boost banks' profits, writes Clare Francis
Banks have robbed Isa savers of £1.2 billion in interest since 1999 by manipulating their rates, wiping out much of the benefit of the tax breaks.
The rates on Isas that topped the tables in previous tax years have been unashamedly downgraded after banks pulled in billions of savers' cash, according to a survey by data firm Moneyfacts. Not one of the best-buy Isas from the previous eight years is now paying a top rate.
The ploy has wiped out much of the tax breaks available on cash Isas - savers have a total of £125 billion in the schemes on which they pay no income tax, which is worth £1.3 billion a year.
Lisa Taylor at Moneyfacts said: "The government is trying to encourage

Pipeline report: Prospects in Cardinals' camp
Every Spring Training, prospects get a chance to show what they can do as they prepare for the season ahead. Some are competing for jobs in big league camps, others are prepping for the season as they vie for spots at Minor League affiliates up and down a team's system.
Every Spring Training, prospects get a chance to show what they can do as they prepare for the season ahead. Some are competing for jobs in big league camps, others are prepping for the season as they vie for spots at Minor League affiliates up and down a team's system. MLBPipeline.com will be visiting all 30 camps this spring. Today, we check in on the St. Louis Cardinals.
JUPITER, Fla. -- The St. Louis Cardinals were dealt a blow in February when it was announced that right-hander
Expectations were understandably high for Reyes this year after the Cardinals' top prospect (No. 14 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list) dominated during the final two months of 2016, first as a reliever and then as a starter, en route to a 1.57 ERA and 52 strikeouts in 46 innings. But in his absence, the Cardinals will be forced to utilize their pitching depth.
• Cardinals' Top 30 Prospects List
:: MLB Pipeline Spring Training reports ::
While the performance exposed Weaver's weaknesses -- particularly his struggles against left-handed hitters, who batted .377/.435/.590 against him -- Cardinals farm director Gary LaRocque believes that the experience will aid the young righty in his quest to return to the big leagues.
"Luke always has had good command of his stuff and a presence on the mound, but he's at a point now where it's about continuing the performance, so that when he gets to the big leagues he steps in and he's ready," LaRocque said.
"Like most young pitchers, he needs to refine his stuff to be able to handle a complete lineup -- and he knows that. The big key for us, from a timeline standpoint, is that Luke makes the progress he needs to make in the Minor Leagues so he, once called upon, can be able to help the club."
"When people watch him, the first thing they note is the arm strength and that he maintains it well," LaRocque said. "He's a young man who's going to gain more durability. He's more than that, though; he has a nice complement of stuff and feel for contrast."
Though already on the Cardinals 40-man roster, Alcantara stands to benefit from at least another full season in the Minor Leagues. But given the strides he's made in a short amount of time, it's not a stretch to envision the Dominican native making an impact out of the bullpen late in the season. For that reason, the team's coaching staff is giving the 6-foot-4 Alcantara an extended look this spring in big league camp. The results have been mixed so far for Alcantara -- he's allowed four earned runs on 10 hits and five walks in four relief appearances -- but that hasn't kept him from opening more eyes within the organization.
"What I've noticed so far this spring," noted LaRocque, "is that even when he has a tough inning, he's been able to bounce right back and starts to get more comfortable. It just takes some success at each level to get that confidence up, and that's a big part for him because he's so young.
"As he's come through the system, he's moved quickly," LaRocque added. "In general, for a young player, he's taken all the right steps and accelerated his development really well."
• Q&A with Luke Weaver
2016 Draftees on display
There are many new faces in the Cardinals' Minor League camp this year, but none more notable than shortstop Delvin Perez, whom the Cardinals selected with their first of three first-round picks last June.
Perez was considered by many evaluators to be one of the better prospects in his class, and he likely would have come off the board within the first 10 picks if not for a positive test for a performing-enhancing substance prior to the Draft. Concerns about Perez's makeup caused him to fall into the second half of the first round, where the Cardinals were waiting with open arms for him with the No. 23 overall pick.
Perez made an immediate impact during his pro debut, hitting .294/.352/.393 with 12 extra-base hits and 12 steals while helping lead the Gulf Coast League Cardinals to a league title. Meanwhile, the Cardinals' No. 4 prospect (No. 91 overall) has continued to open eyes this spring.
"He has good defensive tools at shortstop -- the kind that could make him a fixture there," said LaRocque. "Offensively, he has quickness to his bat and is getting a feel for his strike zone. He's doing all the things an 18-year-old who was drafted should be doing as far as the learning curve for what's new."
Also on that GCL championship squad was Dylan Carlson, who hit .251/.313/.404 with 19 extra-base hits in 50 games after going to the Cardinals with the No. 33 overall pick. While the 18-year-old outfielder doesn't project to have a plus tool at maturity, the Cardinals believe he has the skills and makeup to get the most out of his ability.
"Dylan has solid mechanics offensively, with very good focus and instincts in the outfield. We like his offensive upside quite a bit, and the plan is to keep him in center field for as long as we can," said LaRocque of the Cardinals' No. 16 prospect.
"Delvin and Dylan are talented young men, and they've both had their eyes wide open to what's new since signing," he added. "They definitely saw a new phase of the game [in the GCL] last summer, a quicker phase, and that's a good thing, because we want them to experience that as soon as possible."
Breakout candidate
Normally a player selected in the previous year's Draft wouldn't be considered a potential breakout candidate. However, when that player is still adjusting to a role like right-hander Dakota Hudson -- the last of the St. Louis' first-round picks (No. 34 overall) -- exceptions can be made.
Hudson, 22, moved into Mississippi State's rotation last spring after pitching exclusively in relief as a sophomore. The right-hander excelled as a starter, posting a 2.55 ERA with 115 strikeouts in 113 innings over 17 starts, but his lengthy college season prompted the Cardinals to limit him to mostly bullpen work during his pro debut. Hudson was still plenty dominant in the role, making the jump to the Florida State League from the GCL, and then making a pair of scoreless appearances for Double-A Springfield in the Texas League playoffs.
"We watched to make sure the innings were right for him," LaRocque said of Hudson, the club's No. 9 prospect. "We pay a lot of attention to workloads and certainly did with Dakota, though we did get him some exposure out of the bullpen at several levels to give him a feel for different leagues.
"This year we're back to starting over and building him up again. He had a good [Spring Training Early Program] camp and threw well the other day in a live batting practice session, and he's right on track with his throwing schedule. It's been a good camp for him so far."

How does the village work?
Karaka Lifestyle Estate's aim is for you to be better off in every way. We give you both time and financial freedom.
How do we do that?
Financial Freedom: We provide financial freedom through giving you the capital gain from the sale of your unit. If your unit rises in value then you – not the village operator – gain the benefit of that, leaving you with the financial ability to make choices.
Knowing you get to keep most of the sale price of your unit, and not lose all the capital gain, you can relax and enjoy village life. Also, the facilities fee charged by Karaka Lifestyle Estate is 12.5% instead of the 20-30% charged by other villages.
We also remove the worry caused by the problems and responsibilities of home ownership, giving you the time and space to enjoy life. You can take part in the many community groups in the village or use the great facilities and amenities on offer within and around the village.
How does this financial model differ from the norm?
In most retirement villages you will lose between 20 and 30% of the purchase price of the unit, and if the value of the unit rises over time you will receive none of this increase in value. These deductions provide a profit to the owner of the village and not to you or your family. By comparison the facilities fee at Karaka Lifestyle Estate is 12.5% of the sale price of your unit. If you wish to pay this upon purchase we will discount the fee to 10% of the purchase price. This is a significantly reduced fee and you get the all the capital gain.
There is no need to sell through a Real Estate Agent as the Village Manager can handle this for you, although the choice is still yours. The Village Manager will not charge a commission to sell your unit – only the costs of advertising and marketing.
The only legal fees incurred will be for your use of your own lawyer.
What other fees/costs will we incur?
You are required to pay for your own utilities and telecommunications.
Our weekly fee to cover the costs of running the village is $165 p.w., please be aware this is reviewed yearly to ensure it covers the cost of running the village and thus it is likely to increase over time, however if you prefer we can fix this for life at $100 per week in conjunction with a 25% facilities fee. Please talk to us if you prefer a fixed weekly fee.
The only other fees payable to the village are a cost to upgrade your unit prior to selling.
Refurbishment is important in a village environment for the village to be maintained to a high standard. The more appealing the village is to other people, the more valuable the units in the village will be. The village Manager will take care of keeping the grounds and facilities maintained to a high standard, but you will need to play a part in this, in the way that your unit is presented. The refurbishment requirement is necessary so that every unit that becomes available for sale is presented to the highest standard possible. The unit needs to be in a near new condition. You or your family do receive the benefit of this through a higher selling price..
How is the Village Weekly fee set?
The Village Weekly fee is set based on the property running costs. At Karaka Lifestyle Estate, all of these costs have to be paid for by the Residents of the village. The fees are currently set at $165 p.w.. These will be reviewed each year and set according to any changes in actual running costs.
The Weekly Fee includes:
- Land Rates
- Full replacement Insurance
- Rubbish Collection
- Gardening & lawns
- Repairs & Maintenance
- Village security and lighting
- External window washing
- Management costs
- Legal compliance required by the Retirement Villages Act
- A long term sinking fund to cover major village renovation costs
What are the facilities at the Country Club?
The facilities to be provided at the Country Club are likely to include:
- Dining area and commercial kitchen
- Bowling Green
- Heated Indoor Pool
- Gym
- Library
- Billiards Room
- Wellness Centre
- Massage therapy/Hairdresser room
- Hobby rooms
How involved do I need to be?
The choice is entirely yours. Some residents like to be totally involved while others prefer to live quietly. Our villages are a community of similar aged residents with varying interests and different circumstances so you decide just how much you want to be involved in the life of the village.
Can I rent out my Unit or let my children live in it?
Your right to live in the unit is personal to you. Your family may visit you and even stay for long periods (maximum 40 days), but they may not live permanently with you.
You may have other guests stay with you for up to 40 days. You may also allow other people to look after the unit while you are away, but they may not rent the unit, and they must be suitable residents for a retirement village.
Will my unit be safe if I go away for a while?
We ask that you notify us of the duration of your absence and leave a contact address or phone number. Because we are regularly moving around the village, your home is kept under surveillance.
Can I keep a pet?
The Village rules don't allow pets that are likely to cause a nuisance. Normally birds and cats are acceptable. Small dogs may be permitted but will need to be approved by the Manager. If you already have a small dog, you will be allowed to bring her/him with you if approved by the Village Manager, however, requests for replacement dogs are normally declined.
Can I make structural changes to the Unit I have chosen?
Structural changes to units are not allowed.
Can I redecorate the inside of my unit?
You may decorate your unit to suit your preferences, within reasonable boundaries.
Can I sell the Unit whenever and to whomever I want?
You may sell the unit whenever you want. You get to set the selling price and whether to accept an offer. You can choose to use a Real Estate Agent or to use our village manager. However, you may only sell the unit to a person who is approved by the village manager as being suitable for the village.

Unlike its predecessor, the Fitbit Ultra was a single piece of hardware shaped clip, the Fitbit One has a clip that can be made out of silicone rubber and metal. The device itself is a small piece of plastic with a soft oblong button and a screen that is invisible until you wake up.
