Stop acquisition, probe firing, say Rewari farmers - Real Estate India





??|?? July 25, 2012 ?? 04:50pm ??|Contributed by MANOJa

GURGAON: Ahead of their crucial meeting with the Haryana chief minister, Rewari farmers are firm on their demand to seek immediate cancellation of land acquisition proceedings and compensation to those injured in Sunday?s police firing.

The representatives of Bhoomi Adhigrahan Virodh Sangharsh Samiti (BAVSS) have also demanded a judicial probe into the shooting incident. ?We are hopeful that the state government will concede to our demand of judicial probe into the firing and cancellation of land acquisition,? said Ram Kishen Mehlawat, president of BAVSS. The villagers have been agitating against the land acquisition of over 3,000 acres in the region. The notification regarding the proceedings of the acquisition was issued last month.

The protest became violent on Sunday and the police had to resort to firing, in which several were injured and three villagers were shot. ?The judicial probe is a must, to know why the orders of police firing were given and who had given them. The injured should also be given compensation,? said Mehlawat. He added that two of the three villagers, Satbeer and Om Prakash are battling for their lives in a private hospital in Rewari while the third, Mahinder Singh is admitted in a Gurgaon hospital.

The villagers are also demanding the withdrawal of cases that have been registered against the protesters. Police have registered three FIRs and arrested scores of villagers in connection to Sunday?s violence. BAVSS representatives said that the state government must not be in a tearing hurry to go ahead with the acquisition since the new legislation on land acquisition is still pending in Parliament. ?The state government must not force the villagers to hand over their land as per old policy when the central government has conceptualized a new land acquisition policy focusing on the welfare of villagers and land owners,? said Mehlawat.

The villagers have pledged not to launch another protest if their demands are met and if the government reverses the land acquisition.

Product Development Control | ? SoleBizSoleBiz

Product Development ControlFrom: John Thornhill and Daniel Sumner Subject: The Secret Product Development System used to Earn Huge Online Income?s

"We don?t need to work that hard to plan our next product as we already have the plan all mapped out!"

When we first started in the internet marketing business, developing products was one of the hardest tasks we could imagine. The whole product structure was so big and confusing it made our heads spin. we were not afraid to admit it! We were ?in the new guy seat? and our eyes had been opened to just how hard this new internet marketing business actually can be.

It?s not just a case of throwing an eBook together about a product, system or niche that you think will make you some cash and expect it to do well. It doesn?t work that way. It?s amazing how many guys actually think this does work. The internet marketing business is changing, more and more people are coming online everyday and they all want a piece of your action. It?s time to get bigger and better very quickly! Just like the mad scientist.

The reality of it all is, without prior product planning and development your project is set to fail from the start. Without a structure to follow you increase your chances of missing vital elements of the product development process which can be disastrous to your future product creation efforts.

It?s guaranteed you have seen them before. There are internet website servers all over the world full of bad products. Ok, maybe bad product is the wrong choice of words and we should give guys the benefit of the doubt in not having the help or experience to create a better product. We should also give credit for creating a product in the first place. It takes a lot to make a start. However, what guys fail to notice when creating a product is the flaws their products actually have.

From a development point of view, guys get so wrapped up in their products and what they have achieved that they fail to see the actual flaws all they see is a masterpiece and become blinded by their own creation. Most times it takes an outside opinion to point out such problems as:

The list goes on and the harsh reality actually hits home. And is usually followed by ?wow this is harder than I thought?

We have spent a long time developing a killer system which will allow you to create the perfect product time and time again, covering all the angles and leaving no stones unturned.

It?s not a simple case of thinking of an idea, writing it on a few post-it notes. Sure this is possible to do with the right experience and also been done 100?s of times before. We are most certainly guilty of this in the early days, but we have grown and developed a strategy which works, leaves no stone unturned and nothing left on the table. Our knowledge will become your knowledge, you will learn the skills we have learned over the years without any of the pit falls.

All of these items are key to the success of your product and therefore a must when it comes to creating your product. Your ultimate goal is to create an awesome product with zero refunds and amazing feedback!

We Have Worked With the Best and Been Involved in Some Major Product Development Projects. We have had the pleasure to be involved in some major earning websites and programs. Some of these websites which we own and partner include:

These products are just a small portion of the products we have been involved in. All of these websites have accumulated massive profits and still continue to do so today. Take a look at the earnings from one of our latest launches from this year alone using the Product Development Control formula.

Not only have we had the pleasure of working on such successful websites as the ones you see above, we have also had the pleasure of working together on some high end internet marketing coaching courses. We have recently worked closely on a massive $5000 coaching? Read more?

Milwaukee Business Networking Opportunities: Get Your Business ...

By Herman Underwood


As with many existing stores or local businesses they're next step is to put an SEO strategy in place. With so many to choose from, finding the right Search Engine Optimization company can be difficult. These companies typically use established techniques to help on-line presence grow through specific search analysis. With thousands of customers searching the Internet daily, an SEO companies goal is to get on the first page. That means more leads and more business.

In uncomplicated terms, Search Engine Optimization is the getting a website to the top of search results like Google or Bing for products and services by using the correct keywords and terms. Choosing a leader in Organic SEO is the basis of a solid SEO campaign. Typically, poorly selected keywords lead to poor search volume and nearly negligent traffic of any value. A superior selection of phrases and terms for an audience ensures that a business can be located by people who require exactly what they provide.

It's clear how local SEO can help a business grow. Once a customer dominates the local market they can build on that page authority to compete at a national and global level. By properly arranging a web-page with keyword relevant content, continued well-written articles, and well designed pages, a businesses conversion rate will increase and with it their business will continue to expand.

"It's true that that even a little bit of quality traffic will net more sales than tremendous amount of random visits due to poor keyword generation," says Jeff Keshner from Top SEO, a Lawyer SEO Company. SEO companies will employ the latest techniques to promote websites and drive traffic to pages using various methods. They will typically start by optimizing your web-page accordingly. Then they may craft quality content so a page has web authority in a specific market. By creating intelligent and interactive pages they can turn this into converted sales. By adding analysis of traffic they can further promote a web-page and continually increase traffic over time.

There are many companies who claim to provide SEO related services. More often than not, these methods do not succeed due to sub-par strategies, poor keyword research and incorrect or dated article submission methods. Of course there are SEO companies that follow the latest trends and possess domain expertise in various fields. They can also provide a local presence to customers as compared to their Internet competitors. This gives them a competitive advantage for maneuvering in a massively aggressive SEO environment.

Taking Your Internet Marketing To The Next Level | Kelvin Augusta's ...

Internet marketing is most likely the best method to reach a lot of people. Most of the United States population uses the Internet regularly. Future generations won?t even know what yellow pages are. Because search engine advertising comes across so subtle, the majority of users do not realize they are seeing an advertisement.

Creating a FAQ section on your website will make running it a more satisfactory venture for you. This will give your visitors immediate answers to their questions, which will make them more pleased with your site. When the customer can see the benefits to your products in a clear and concise manner, there greater the chance they end up making a purchase.

Make sure that your site is interesting and well-designed. Your marketing campaign should center around the website and what it has to offer. Because your site is laid out well and of interest to visitors, they will be prompted to stay longer. The design should be engaging and thoughtful to encourage repeat visitors.

Pay attention to the small details on your site. Your site should have a title along with a description of your site in the corner of the page. Having the website name in this prominent place will let your visitor know where they are no matter which page is the result of their search.

Assuring the security of your customers information and financial details is vital to gaining customer?s trust and business. There are reputable companies to choose from. VeriSign and McAfee are two examples of services that can help keep customer information safe. These security systems cost money, but they?re a must for safe online business.

Empowering your customers to feel that they make a difference to your business helps them feel invested and valued as a customer. This is an effective marketing strategy. Let them know that it is their choice to participate.

To advertise your product, you should create a sort of FAQ. Think of the common questions or problems you see often, and provide helpful solutions that utilize your products or services. Also, use questions that allow you to mention products that you sell.

Use banners that don?t actually look like banners on your website. You should try your best to make them look like they are clickable links to reach more content. Most experienced Internet users ignore banners automatically, so a little bit of artistry can make them more effective.

Are you searching for an online marketing plan? Allow several opportunities for visitors to leave their email address and other information. Offer freebies or contests, and they will be much more likely to provide you with their contact information. If there is something of value in it for them, customers are likely to be more generous with their email address.

Saudi Arabia To Send Women Athletes To London Olympic Game

CAIRO ? Across the world, word that Saudi Arabia would send women athletes to the Olympics for the first time immediately rocketed to the top of websites and broadcasts. In Saudi Arabia's official media: Not even a hint.

The state-sponsored silent treatment was a lesson into the deep intricacies and sensitivities inside the kingdom as it took another measured step away from its ultraconservative traditions.

While Saudi rulers found room to accommodate the demands of the International Olympic Committee to include women athletes, they also clearly acknowledged that ? in their view at least ? this did not merit billing as a pivotal moment of reform in a nation that still bans women from driving or traveling without the approval of a male guardian.

"It does not change the fact that Saudi women are not free to move and to choose," said political analyst Mona Abass in neighboring Bahrain. "The Saudis may use it to boost their image, but it changes little."

Even the two athletes selected to compete under the Saudi flag ? 800-meter runner Sarah Attar from Pepperdine University in California and Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani in judo ? live outside the kingdom and carry almost no influence as sports figures. There is no other choice: Women sports remain nearly an underground activity in Saudi Arabia.

Ahmed al-Marzooqi, editor of a website that aims to cover women and men's sporting events in Saudi Arabia, viewed Thursday's announcement as mostly an attempt to quiet international pressure on the lone nation trying to stick with an all-male Olympic team. The other former holdouts, Brunei and Qatar, had already added women Olympic athletes ? with Qatar even planning to have a woman carry its flag in London later this month.

"We are still disappointed here," al-Marzooqi said from the Saudi city of Jiddah. "I should be happy for them, but this will do nothing for women who want to be in sport in Saudi Arabia."

Still, the opening is not without significance.

The Saudi decision must have received at least some nod from the nation's Islamic religious establishment, which hold de facto veto power over nearly all key moves by the Western-allied monarchy and gives the royal court its legitimacy to rule over a nation with Islam's holiest sites.

The inherent two-way tug ? change-resistant clerics and leaders sensing reform pressures from the streets ? has allowed enough slack for some slow-paced movement. King Abdullah has promised to allow women to run and vote in municipal elections in 2015. He also has tried to rein in the country's feared morality police while challenges to the established order are growing bolder from a population, nearly half of which is under the age of 30.

Saudi women activists have gotten behind the wheel to oppose the driving ban, and bloggers churn out manifestos about how the Arab Spring will one day hit Saudi shores.

"If Saudi does field women athletes, it is immensely interesting," said Simon Henderson, a Saudi affairs expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "This flies against the traditions of having a woman not make a public display of herself or mixing with men. Now, the world could see women marching with men in the opening ceremony and ? even more ? women running in competition."

It's impossible to gauge the internal discussions before the Saudi Olympic decision, but Henderson speculated it could have influenced by Abdullah's daughter, Adila, who has been an outspoken advocate of reforms such as ending the driving ban on women. On the other end of the spectrum, senior Saudi clerics have issued a host of edicts against almost all types of sporting activities for women.

"Of course this will bring backlash from many religious leaders," said Ali al-Ahmed, director of the Washington-based Institute of Gulf Affairs that has been behind the "No Women No Play" campaign that called for an Olympic ban for Saudi Arabia if it resisted adding women. "This fight is far from over."

As recently as April, a Saudi newspaper quoted the head of the Saudi Olympic Committee as saying he did not approve of sending women to the Olympics ? suggesting instead they could compete on their own under a neutral flag.

A similar arrangement was made at the Youth Olympics in 2010 for Saudi equestrian competitor Dalma Rushdi Malhas, who won a bronze medal in show jumping.

"Allowing women to compete under the Saudi flag in the London Games will set an important precedent," said Christoph Wilcke, senior Middle East researcher at New York-based Human Rights Watch "But without policy changes to allow women and girls to play sports and compete within the kingdom, little can change for millions of women and girls deprived of sporting opportunities."

For the wider Muslim world region, the Saudi decision also is unlikely to have a transformative sweep since the kingdom trailed behind even Afghanistan in opening to women sports.

Increasing numbers are taking part in regional sports competition and there are few sports Muslim women aren't represented in ? with Afghanis boxing, Pakistanis playing cricket and Emiratis in the Arabian Gulf taking up football and weightlifting. Iran, too, is considered one of the growing powers in women rugby in Asia.

But most experts acknowledged this progress is fragile and vulnerable to age-old cultural pressures.

Weightlifters in the United Arab Emirates have been attacked on social media and the Kuwaiti soccer team was denounced several years ago on its return from a tournament by conservative lawmakers who want a ban on all international competitions. In Iraq, a women's wrestling club disbanded in 2009 after receiving death threats from religious groups.

Muslim women also face hurdles from the West as well. While rugby, volleyball and taekwondo federations allow head scarves, the football federation FIFA waited until this month to lift a ban ? standing by rules designed for safety but seen by Muslims as discriminatory.

"This is a first small step," said Raija Mattila, co-chairman of the Finland-based International Working Group on Women and Sport. "It's good for the international stage, but we hope that it opens up sports opportunities for women and girls inside Saudi Arabia. So this is just a small first step."

Egypt's President Morsi leaves for Saudi on 1st foreign trip

Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood has said his administration has no plans to 'export'?Egypt'srevolution, an implicit reassurance to Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies, who have been nervous over the possibility of Arab Spring revolts reaching their shores.

By Hamza Hendawi,?Associated Press / July 11, 2012

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah speaks to Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi (l.) on his arrival at the Royal Palace in Jeddah airport, on July 11.

Egypt's?Islamist president flew to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday at the start of his first foreign trip, underscoring the traditionally close ties between the two regional powerhouses.

Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood has said his administration has no plans to "export"?Egypt'srevolution, an implicit reassurance to Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies, who have been nervous over the possibility of Arab Spring revolts reaching their shores.

He has also asserted his country's commitment to the security of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies, a thinly veiled reference to the tension between them and Iran.

Morsi was scheduled to meet with Saudi King Abdullah later Wednesday.

Thousands of Brotherhood members sought refuge in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s and 1960s to escape crackdowns by Gamal Abdel-Nasser,?Egypt's?ruler at the time. But Saudi Arabia's own problems with violent Islamist groups have cooled its ties with groups espousing political Islam, like the Brotherhood.

Some 1.6 million Egyptians live and work in Saudi Arabia, which is also one of the biggest investors in?Egypt.

Morsi is?Egypt's?first democratically elected president. He succeeded Hosni Mubarak, who forged close ties with the Saudis during his 29-year rule. Mubarak was ousted in February 2011 in a popular uprising.

Egyptian media reports have repeatedly claimed that the Saudis were unhappy with the arrest and trial of their ally and friend Mubarak, and that they offered to host him in Saudi Arabia after his ouster. Saudi officials have consistently denied these reports.

Morsi left for Saudi Arabia while in the middle of a showdown with the generals who ruled?Egypt?for 16 months after Mubarak's ouster and who formally handed power over to him on June 30.

Shortly before his departure, Morsi's office said in a statement that the president was committed to uphold court rulings ? an attempt to ease tensions with the military and the judiciary over the fate of the country's dissolved parliament.

The statement came one day after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled against Morsi's decree to call the house into session despite a June 14 ruling by the same tribunal that the legislature was invalid because a third of its members were elected illegally.

The military dissolved the parliament the next day.

Morsi's decree heightened tensions with the powerful generals, who retained far-reaching powers and stripped Morsi of many of his before they stepped down.

The statement from Morsi's office, carried by?Egypt's?official news agency, appeared intended to reduce these tensions, but it fell short of saying whether Morsi accepted the latest ruling.

The statement stuck by statements made by Morsi's spokesman, Yasser Ali, saying the president's decree to recall the chamber revoked the military's order to disband the legislature but had nothing to do with the court ruling.

The Islamist-dominated parliament met briefly Tuesday and voted to refer the original ruling to an appeals court. Later on Tuesday, tens of thousands of Brotherhood supporters gathered in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, birthplace of the uprising against Mubarak, to denounce the court ruling. Several hundred returned to the square on Wednesday.

China's economic slowdown painful despite stimulus

BEIJING (AP) ? China's economic slowdown slammed into Li Fangliang, cutting sales at his Shanghai auto parts store by half.

"There are just fewer and fewer customers," said Li, who has avoided layoffs among his four employees. "I plan to start a shop online to find new markets."

From shopkeepers to shipbuilders, some areas are feeling more pain from China's deepest slowdown since the 2008 global crisis than still-robust headline growth of about 8 percent might suggest. Higher spending by state industry and government-directed investment is pumping up the world's second-largest economy, but that is masking the fact that the private sector is cutting jobs and scrambling to prop up plunging sales.

Data due out Friday are expected to show growth in the three months ending in June fell as low as 7.3 percent, down from the previous quarter's nearly three-year low of 8.1 percent. That is in line with this year's official 7.5 percent target. But revenues for companies in construction, shipbuilding and export manufacturing are down by up to half compared with a year ago.

The slowdown is a setback for economies around the world that were looking to China to drive demand for exports and support global growth.

"Domestic demand remains weak," said JP Morgan economist Francis Fu in a report. "Corporate profits have continued to decline and incentive for business investment is low."

Other industries including cargo handling and manufacturers of shoes, clothing, optical fiber and wind turbines are suffering lower profits or losses and cutting jobs, according to Chinese news reports.

Job losses could fuel political tensions, eroding economic gains that underpin the Communist Party's claim to power. The party is trying to enforce calm ahead of a handover of power to a younger generation of leaders this year. Though China's growth even now is higher than those of developed economies, many industries depend on a much faster expansion to propel demand for new factories, cargo ships and other goods.

Construction, which supports millions of jobs, was plunged into a deep freeze by limits imposed on home purchases to cool surging prices. Demand fell further as companies facing weak sales put off building new facilities.

"A lot of building projects are half-finished and forced to stop. I think it is even worse than 2008," said a manager for Hangzhou Yuanlong Construction Co. in the eastern city of Hangzhou. She would give only her surname, An.

The company, with 20 employees and four teams of independent construction contractors, is owed 2 million yuan ($300,000) by cash-strapped customers and is having trouble collecting, An said.

"Our boss is looking for new opportunities," she said. "Otherwise we are not going to survive."

In Guangdong province in the southeast, a leading export manufacturing region that has been battered by the fall in global demand, the slowdown was "more severe than expected," the official Xinhua News Agency cited Governor Zhu Xiaodan as saying.

Guangdong's economic output in the first half grew 7.4 percent over a year earlier, below the official target, Zhu was cited as saying Wednesday.

Beijing has cut interest rates twice since early June but economists say companies are reluctant to take on more debt. Authorities have reduced fuel prices and are injecting money into the economy through higher spending on low-cost housing and other public works. That will channel money into government-owned construction companies.

On Thursday, China's main government pension fund added its financial firepower to the construction campaign, announcing 1 billion yuan ($159 million) in financing for a public housing project in Wuxi, a city northwest of Shanghai. The National Society Security Fund said it will finance other housing projects but gave no details.

Some economists suggest the decline might be more severe than reported, citing rumors that utility companies have been told to make the economy look healthy by inflating electricity consumption data ? a key indicator of industrial activity.

Yu Bin, a Cabinet researcher, rejected those suggestions at a briefing Thursday. He said the slowdown in richer east coast cities such as Beijing and Shanghai is being offset by stronger growth of up to 10 percent in less-developed central and western regions. Companies are investing more there as incomes and consumer spending rise.

"If you go to western parts of China, the growth rate is quite high," said Yu, director of macroeconomic research for the Development Research Center.

In any case, opportunities in the traditional powerhouses of China's economy appear to have dried up.

"A lot of people want to go work in big cities, but there is far less demand this year," said a manager at the Tongxu County Enterprise Bureau, an employment service in the central city of Kaifeng in Henan province. He refused to give his name.

"A lot of workers from big cities are starting to return home because their employers can't pay their salaries," the man said.

Beijing is pinning its hopes on investment, especially by state industry, to drive a rebound. Premier Wen Jiabao said this week that sustaining investment was most important at this point ? an acknowledgement that efforts to boost consumption and exports are failing to gain traction.

State industry has been sustained and even expanded by credit from government banks. Two major steel producers have received permission to build a pair of mills costing a total of more than $20 billion, financed by state-owned lenders. Wen has promised more credit to private businesses but entrepreneurs say they get little help.

Facing weak export orders, manufacturers are cutting payrolls and reducing purchases of components and raw materials. Import growth in June fell by half from the May level to 6.3 percent, reflecting low industrial and consumer demand.

With trade plunging, Chinese shipyards have been battered because shippers are putting off purchases of new vessels. The industry employs hundreds of thousands of workers and is the world's biggest by total tonnage produced.

Orders for new vessels fell by half in May from a year earlier, according to the China Shipbuilding Association. A spokesman who would give only his surname, Qian, said shipyards have been forced to cut prices by 20 to 40 percent.

Major shipyards in Shanghai, the industry center, say they are still profitable but news reports say smaller yards in surrounding provinces have laid off employees or closed.

"I'm sure some companies may face suspension of production or even closure," Qian said.

Qatari female athlete to hold flag at London Games

(AP) ? One of Qatar's first female athletes to compete at the Olympics will be the flag-bearer for the opening ceremony at the London Games.

Qatar's Olympic Committee posted a statement late Wednesday on Twitter saying shooter Bahiya al-Hamad has been chosen to "raise the Qatar flag at London 2012."

"I'm truly proud and humbled to carry the Qatar flag among my fellow athletes from all over the world," al-Hamad said on Twitter.

Along with Saudi Arabia and Brunei, Qatar has never previously sent female athletes to the Olympics.

The tiny but wealthy oil-rich nation of Qatar has made women's participation in sports a key component of its quest to become a Middle Eastern sporting power by bidding for high-profile competitions, such as winning the rights to host the 2022 soccer World Cup.

Al-Hamad was Qatar's most successful athlete at the 2011 Arab Games, winning three gold medals and two silver. The International Olympic Committee offered the 19-year-old shooter a wild-card invitation to compete in the 10-meter and women's air rifle competition at the London Games.

Qatari female swimmer Nada Arkaji and sprinter Noor al-Malki have also been given wild cards by the IOC.

The flag-bearer announcement followed reports that Saudi Arabia ? Qatar's bigger and more influential neighbor ? has reversed its pledge to send female athletes to the Olympics.

Saudi leaders have been under pressure to end the practice of sending all-male teams to international competitions. A report in Saudi-owned newspaper Al-Sharq al-Awsat said this week that no female athletes have qualified for the Olympics and therefore no women will be included in the team.

The IOC said in a statement to The Associated Press that it remains optimistic in ongoing talks with the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom about sending women to the games, which start July 27.

Human Rights Watch was critical of the report in the pan-Arab daily newspaper, an important media tool for Saudi rulers, and urges the IOC to bar the country from participating at the London Games for violating the equality rules in the Olympic Charter.

Brunei is expected to include women on its Olympic team for the first time.
