BEIRUT—An Iranian scientist working for a key nuclear site was killed in Tehran with a magnetic bomb attached to his car, in what the government said was a plot by the U.S. and Israel to sow unrest and interfere with its nuclear program.
The scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, 32 years old, was a chemical engineer and the deputy director of commerce for the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran, according to an official news release published by IRNA state-news agency.
The explosion rocked the neighborhood of Gol Nabi Street in north Tehran at around 8:30 a.m. local time on ...

What's Rankling the Swiss Foreign Ministry?

Exposing how the Swiss are enabling Iran’s

Excerpt:
Given the exposure of Iran’s clandestine underground nuclear sites in Qom and Natanz and the regime’s burning desire to acquire new tunnel equipment, why did Switzerland green-light the sale of Ceresola equipment to the mysterious Rahab Engineering Establishment?

Swiss-Iranian trade relations function along the lines of the largely unregulated freewheeling Dubai trade zone. That helps to explain Switzerland’s delivery of nuclear-related pressure gauges to Iran earlier this year and the recklessly passive behavior of Swiss officials. According to reports in the Swiss media (20 Minuten und SonntagsZeitung), these devices are precisely what President Ahmadinejad’s nuclear program requires to enrich uranium.

Outrage over Indian islands 'human zoo' video

Rights campaigners and politicians Wednesday condemned a video showing women from a protected and primitive tribe dancing for tourists reportedly in exchange for food on India's Andaman Islands.
British newspaper The Observer released the undated video showing Jarawa tribal women -- some of them naked -- being lured to dance and sing after a bribe was allegedly paid to a policeman to produce them.
Under Indian laws designed to protect ancient tribal groups susceptible to outside influence and disease, photographing or coming into contact with the Jarawa and some of the Andaman aborigines is banned.
The tribe, thought to have been among the first people to migrate successfully from Africa to Asia, lives a nomadic existence in the lush, tropical forests of the Andamans in the Indian Ocean.
India's Tribal Affairs Minister V. Kishore Chandra Deo on Wednesday said an investigation had been ordered.

Excerpt:
Bauxite is an aluminium ore and is the main source of aluminium. This form of rock consists mostly of the minerals gibbsite Al(OH)3, boehmite γ-AlO(OH), and diaspore α-AlO(OH), in a mixture with the two iron oxides goethite and hematite, the clay mineral kaolinite, and small amounts of anatase TiO2. Bauxite was named after the village Les Baux in southern France, where it was first recognised as containing aluminium and named by the French geologist Pierre Berthier in 1821.

Excerpt:
It is said that 17 tribes inhabit this area and live off the produce of the forests. Chiefly agriculturists involved in terrace cultivation, these days, many of them have been forced to take up small jobs in construction. Though they lead primitive lives, it is fascinating to note that many of them also make exquisitely crafted handicrafts made of bamboo, cane, leather and terracotta for a living.
They are famous among tourists for their distinctive style of dressing – the women wear saris with the ends tied together and draped over one shoulder. They are always dressed in vivid colours – reds, orange, navy blue and green – and complemented by orange, red and purple flowers in their hair. They wear jewellery that we saw earlier in the day at the museum as armlets, nose rings, bangles and necklaces. Just as we see them in the distance when suddenly we hear the cry of the dancers, ready to burst into song and dance, known as Dhimsa, to the beat of the drummer sitting close by. Crowds gather and join in, and the dancers are only too eager to include anyone who can share their sense of rhythm.

The Anantagiri Coffee Plantations

The dancers put us in a happier frame of mind as we weave our way on to see the Borra Caves, known far and wide for their fantastic natural limestone formations. But before we can get into the mouth of these caves, we must first drive up narrow and tortuous winding roads for about 90 minutes. On the way, we look down the fall of the valley and see the Anantagiri Coffee Plantations on both sides of the road.

Excerpt:
Hyderabad, Aug 22: Union minister of state for commerce Jairam Ramesh has opined that the famous Ananthagiri Coffee may not be there for obtaining geographic indication (GI) mark registration, if the proposed bauxite mining is to carried out in the Araku Valley region.
Mentioning the fears raised by some of the groups in the valley region that the region would be totally lost due to mining, Ramesh said that if it is so, it will really be painful. However, he quickly added that he is not against bauxite mining and development. “There is a need for striking proper balance between development and environment,” he pointed out.
Speaking to media here on Friday, Ramesh said that one should find a solution to protect the Ananthagiri coffee, which is famous for its aroma and taste. When asked to propose one, he said, “I have no answer, as of now.”
Interestingly, neither the government nor the farmers...

Excerpt:
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India has allowed four more banks to import precious metals, a move that would boost competition and help reduce premiums in the world’s biggest importer of bullion.
Yes Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, City Union Bank and ING Vysya Bank will take the total banks to 35 that can import gold and silver, data on the website of Reserve Bank of India showed.
“It’s not because they foresee huge demand coming up,” said a Singapore-based bullion dealer. “They are just trying to open up for more competition in the market and customers will have more choices.” Gold is tightly regulated in India and the federal government allows state-run and private-sector banks to trade in bullion.
Some listed jewellery makers such as Rajesh Exports, Titan Industries and Gitanjali Gems are also

The Andaman and Nicobar tropical island chain is home to four other rare tribes -- Onge, the Great Andamanese, the Sentinelese and the Shompens -- each numbering fewer than 350 members.

Religion

It was reported that Lopez and Marc Anthony were taking professional business meetings at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, California, in late 2006. It was also rumored that Lopez and Anthony became Scientologists during that period with the help of Angelo Pagan, the husband of The King of Queens actress and Scientologist Leah Remini.[120] Just prior to those reports, Lopez said to NBC, "I'm not a Scientologist, I was raised Catholic. But it's funny the way people come at it. To me it's so strange. These are some of the best people I've ever met in my life." She added, "My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years. He's the best man that I know in my life and so, it's weird to me that people want to paint it in a negative way."[121] It has been reported that a factor in Lopez's break with Anthony was over the religious education of their twins; Lopez desired to send the children to a "specialist Scientology school" a position Anthony disagreed with.[122

This is to inform that as per amendment carried to the regulations vide notification dt 3rd December,2008 all such students who have passed either PE-II or Intermediate Exam and has completed the article training are eligible for grant of Accounting Technician Certificate on making an application . Accordingly all such eligible person are requested to make such application.
I believe it is an unethical way to convert the students who did not pass the flagship courses of ICAI to become a Accounting Technician. When anyone starts pursuing a professional qualification, he/she aspires to become a professional accountant. If he does not pass the exams, then this does not make him/her eligible to become a technician. A backward progression !!!
