    10/10/2017 Crossword Book Awards -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia Crossword Book Awards Crossword Book Awards, in full Raymond Crossword Book Awards, formerly in full (1998–99) Crossword Book Award, (2000–04) Crossword Book Awards, (2004–08) Hutch Crossword Book Awards, (2008–11) Vodafone Crossword Book Awards, and (2011–13) The Economist Crossword Book Awards, any of a series of Indian literary awards established in 1998 by Indian book retailer Crossword, its stated aim being to create a prize equivalent to Western literary accolades such as the Booker Prize and the Pulitzer Prize. The Crossword was initially conceived as a single award for a work of �ction written in English by an Indian citizen. In 2000 it was expanded to include a prize for a work of �ction written in any Indian language and translated into English. Following a hiatus (2001–03), in 2004 the bookseller teamed with Hutchison Essar Limited (known as Hutch Essar), an Indian telecommunications company, and reintroduced the honour as the Hutch Crossword Book Award. From 2006 the award included an additional non�ction prize and a popular award, voted on by the public. The award was known as the Vodafone Crossword Book Award from 2008, following the purchase of Hutchison Essar by English telecommunications giant Vodafone Group. A children’s book award was added in 2010. The 2011 prizes were awarded under the name The Economist Crossword Book Awards, which re�ected a shift in sponsorship to the British magazine The Economist. The Raymond Group, a textiles company, sponsored it from 2014. The awards included a monetary prize, and the winning books were promoted by Crossword.

  • 289 - March 2009
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 289 - MARCH 2009 MEETINGS Wednesday 11 March 2009 – Meeting Tonight’s speaker is the REVEREND CANON ALAN HAYDOCK. He is a member of the Nottinghamshire General Committee. He was ordained in the clergy on 13 June 1965 and was a minister for 42 years, 26 of which he spent serving the Borough of Rushcliffe. He has always been an enthusiastic cricketer. A left-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, he played over 300 games for Club and Clergy. Among his other activities are supporting Notts. County and amateur dramatics, where he has been known to play a vicar! The Rev. Canon Haydock has visited a number of Cricket Societies this winter and the Society extends a warm welcome for his visit to Hampshire tonight. His address will be preceded by the Society’s Annual General Meeting. Wednesday 7 January 2009 – Report The evening in the company of Bob Herman and Richard Lewis was almost worthy of a book. As David Fish mentioned in his vote of thanks, the evening was akin to a warm fireside chat in the company of friends. The two ex- Hampshire cricketers spoke for over an hour and a half and one feels that, if time permitted, they would still be going some twelve hours later as the editor has sat down to draft his report. It was an evening of the very essence of Society meetings as they recalled the on and off field exploits of their former team-mates and their opponents.

  • Possible Role in Diagnosis

Gujar#, G.B.K.S. Prasad@, and Rahul Bhattacharya#,* #Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Defence Research and Development Establishment, Gwalior - 474 002, India @School of Studies in Biochemistry, Jiwaji University, Gwalior - 474 001, India *E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Toxicity of organophosphates (OP) is mainly ascribed to inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme at the cholinergic synapses. This results in cholinergic crisis leading to various muscarinic, nicotinic and central effects. Additionally, there are several non-cholinergic effects of OP which are likely to exacerbate the toxicity and complicate diagnosis. The present study reports the dose (0.125 - 4.0 LD50) and time (1 h - 14 d)- dependent acute effect of diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate (DFP) on mice body weight, organ-body weight index (brain), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and β-glucoronidase (BG) activity in plasma, AChE activity, reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in brain, and DNA damage in brain (agarose gel electrophoresis) and blood (comet assay). The study reveals a dose and time- dependent BChE inhibition up to 24 h and AChE inhibition up to 7 d. However, elevated BG levels were observed up to 1 h only after 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 LD50 DFP. Diminished GSH levels up to 24 h and increased MDA levels at 4 h indicated oxidative stress. None of the treatments produced any DNA damage in soft tissues.

    VINITAVINITA DASGUPTADASGUPTA “Story teller..stories told and retold” Solo Booth - S 617 New York Art Expo Vinita Dasgupta, an upcoming contemporary Indian painter speaks about numerous folk paintings and how they juxtapose 14th April - 17th April 2016 and form a larger canvas. -Times News Network Storytelling is the ancient art of conveying events through words, images, sounds and/or actions, often by improvisation or embellishment. One way of telling stories is Odisha's traditional dance form, gotipua (means 'single boy') performed by boys dressed as women to praise Jagannath and Krishna in an acrobatic style. “I am inspired by gotipua. Stories are based on values passed down by older generations to shape the foundation of the community. Once the message is delivered, the story is finished,” says Vinita Dasgupta, an upcoming contemporary Indian painter born to a Bengali family in Kolkata. Dasgupta creates numerous tiny canvasses with folk paintings in the Raghurajpur style, and rolls and paints them to juxtapose and form a larger canvas that is contemporary and not similar to the small images used to create it. Raghurajpur is a crafts village in Puri district, Odisha, known for its master pattachitra painters and gotipua dance troupes. “To me, my art is about the process of discovery, the synthesis of my personal feelings, colours that inspire me and techniques that I use. It's a piece of who I am. It is very personal,” shares Dasgupta, who takes around two to four months to Solo exhibition of complete a painting. She has a flair for semi-abstract figurations, but she further challenges her creative self by introducing various compositional elements in her works.

  • La Privatisation De La Politique Etrangère En Asie Du Sud : Entre Modes Privés D’Action Diplomatique Et Décharge Diplomatique De L’Etat
    LA PRIVATISATION DE LA POLITIQUE ETRANGÈRE EN ASIE DU SUD : ENTRE MODES PRIVÉS D’ACTION DIPLOMATIQUE ET DÉCHARGE DIPLOMATIQUE DE L’ETAT L’EXEMPLE DE LA «DIPLOMATIE DU CRICKET» ENTRE L’INDE ET LE PAKISTAN par Laurent GAYER (*) Suscitant une véritable fièvre en Asie du Sud, le cricket y est intimement lié au politique. Depuis les indépendances, ce sport a participé à la forma- tion des identités nationales indienne et pakistanaise dans le sous-continent, mais aussi en diaspora (1). La nationalisation progressive du cricket a éga- lement placé ce sport au cœur des relations indo-pakistanaises : après avoir longtemps entretenu les tensions entre les deux Etats et leurs sociétés, le cricket est, depuis les années 1980, un instrument de leur rapprochement. L’Inde et le Pakistan se sont en effet engagés dans une «diplomatie du cricket» qui, dans ses derniers développements, met en lumière les dynami- ques complexes du «dialogue composite» indo-pakistanais, reposant à la fois sur des «mesures de confiance» interétatiques et sur un renforcement des interactions transnationales entre les sociétés indienne et pakistanaise (2). Ce jeu à deux niveaux, interétatique et transnational, est au cœur du pro- cessus de dialogue en cours entre l’Inde et le Pakistan et témoigne des ajus- tements de l’Etat à la globalisation, à travers des partenariats toujours fra- giles avec les acteurs privés. La diplomatie du cricket de l’Inde et du Pakistan, dont nous retracerons ici les origines avant d’en examiner les résultats, constitue une illustration des phénomènes de privatisation de la politique étrangère, qui se sont à la fois banalisés et diversifiés depuis la fin de la Guerre froide.
