Gang raped Girl Damini has passed away

Singapore, Dec 29 (IANS) A young woman who was flown to Singapore after her brutal Gang-Rape and torture in the Indian capital died here early Saturday, the Mount Elizabeth Hospital announced.
The victim, whose name has not been revealed, passed away "peacefully" at 4.45 a.m. with her distraught family and Indian Diplomats by her side, hospital official Kelvin Loh said in a statement.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45 a.m.,"
Chief Executive Loh said. "Her family and officials from the high commission of India were by her side."
The 23-year-old woman suffered multiple-organ failure after she was raped by six men in a moving bus in Delhi for about 40 minutes Dec 16 and dumped her by a roadside.
Her male friend was also badly beaten up and thrown out of the bus.

All six accused, including one who is said to be juvenile, have been arrested and are in Delhi's Tihar Central Jail.

Authorities in India shifted the woman, who had been on ventilator support since her rape, to Singapore Thursday in last ditch attempt to save her life.
"Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to
keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days," Loh
said.

"She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body
and brain.
"She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."
B.D. Athani, medical superintendent of Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital, said the woman had been speaking to her mother and other family members earlier, giving the impression that she would somehow survive.

But her condition deteriorated rapidly after the operation, with a fatal infection spreading to her chest, lungs and intestine, he said.
India's High Commissioner to Singapore, T.C.A, Raghavan, said the woman's family was "shattered".
"The scale of her injuries (was) very great," Raghavan told the media.
"It was very trying for the family. The girl of course was unconscious...
"I must say they (the family) bore the entire process with a great deal of fortitude and a great deal of courage."
He said arrangements were on to take the body to India in line with the family's wishes.
The horrific gang-rape, in which the rapists used an iron rod to torture her, triggered angry demonstrations across india against growing sexual crimes against women.

Global Recession
Want to Recession-Proof  Yourself? Join the Creative Class


Looking to thrive in our new, post-recession economy? Then it’s essential to focus on doing work that it would be near-impossible to program a computer or robot to do.
A fascinating study, published in the Cambridge Journal of Economics in 2012, found that Americans in the creative class — those in jobs such as engineers, artists, scientists and educators —  had a lower chance of being unemployed from 2006 to 2011 than those employed in the service sector or working class jobs, such as construction or manufacturing.
Other research has already showed that those with college degrees fared better than those who lack them in the last recession. This study looked beyond education levels alone and drilled down into how the jobs people do and the skills required to do them affected their employment rates.
Having a college degree alone isn’t a vaccine against unemployment, as many recent graduates know all too well. As the study shows, those who are most valued in today’s economy are applying whatever education they have–whether it’s a high school diploma or a graduate degree — to fields that require a high degree of knowledge, creativity and human judgement. The work they do can’t easily be automated.
The study, “The Creative Class and the crisis,” was written by Todd Gabe at the University of Maine, Richard Florida at the University of Toronto and Charlotta Mellander of Jönköping International Business School in Sweden.
Even if you’re self-employed, the conclusions are fascinating and offer a road map to economic relevance in the years to come.
Florida, an expert on urban studies, has called the Great Recession the “Great Reset,” in which the economy made a profound shift toward favoring “knowledge-based creative activities.” The study suggests that many of us need to reset our career planning to reflect this dramatic change.
About 8.4 million jobs in the U.S. disappeared from January 2008 to December 2009, the study notes.
While unemployment rose among all major classes of jobs in the recession, those in the creative class  fared the best. They had an unemployment rate of 4.1% in 2010 and 2011, after the recession officially ended, according to the researchers’ analysis of data from the U.S. Current Population Survey. Before the recession, in 2006 and 2007, their unemployment rate was 1.9%, and during the crisis, in 2008 and 2009, their jobless rate was 3%.
In contrast, those in service class jobs, in fields like retail, had an unemployment rate of 9.3% in the post-recession years. They had a 5% unemployment rate before the recession and 6.9% during the recession.
Those in working class jobs in fields such as construction and manufacturing had an unemployment rate of 14.6% after the recession. Before the crisis hit, their unemployment rate was 6.5%. During the recession, it was 11.1%.
Interestingly, those in the creative class had lower likelihood of unemployment than those with the same level of education who worked in service and working class jobs.
For instance, unemployment among college-educated members of the creative classes was 3.2% after the recession, compared to a 5.9% unemployment rate among college grads in service class careers and 8.7% among college grads in working class careers.
Among members of the creative class with no college degree, the post-recession unemployment rate was 5.7%, compared to 10% among service sector workers and 15.1% among counterparts who also had no college degree and had previously been employed in working class jobs.
Some of the hardest hit workers, the authors noted, were employed in fields like construction that suffered severe downturns during the economic crisis or were based in cities that were disproportionately affected by the housing bust.
The authors also pointed out that, prior to the Great Recession, growth of residential and commercial construction fueled expansion of service sector businesses. When the housing market collapsed, that also affected service sector jobs that had taken shape in the housing boom.
But they also point to a structural change in the workplace that will affect many Americans. While companies’ investments in technology in recent years have complemented the work done by problem-solving creative workers, tools like computers did not replace what they do. Technology expanded their reach. However, that was not the case for workers doing routine jobs that entail following rigid corporate instructions repeatedly. Computers and other tech tools began replacing some of the work they do.
The creative class also benefited from another trend that showed up in the worldwide economic crisis: Their work was not as heavily affected by export-related conditions as, say, manufacturing workers’ jobs are. It is more tied to local consumption.
Studies like this have profound implications not just for workers but for both educators and employers.
Many schools still follow an old model focused on preparing workers for an industrial economy. While well-financed private schools and wealthy public school districts have for years offered students classes in disciplines like web design and robotics, many poorly financed schools lag behind them and miss opportunities to ignite students’ interest in fields like this.
We all need to look at what is being taught in the schools in our community and make sure it reflects what students need to know today, not just what mattered 40 years ago. You don’t necessarily need a college degree to excel in a field like web design, yet we do little to promote careers like this among high school graduates who aren’t college bound.
We also need to do more to spread entrepreneurship education, which is ignored in many schools. Many in the creative classes are self-employed or run small businesses, from marketing shops to architecture firms. However, most of us graduate from high school without a clue as to how to run a business, unless we happened to be part of a family that owned one.
Entrepreneurs and other employers also need to keep pace with the changes. The customers of the future will either want products and services that can be purchased at the rock-bottom prices automation allows–or offer something special, that only humans can bring. What types of highly customized service, unique expertise or cutting-edge skills do you have to offer? Many of us need to be able to answer questions like these, or we’ll find ourselves sidelined.
This is a very broad topic that would require a lens in itself but according to recession.org,
"Recession is primarily caused by the actions taken to control the money supply in the economy. The Federal Reserve is responsible for maintaining an ideal balance between money supply, interest rates, and inflation. When the Fed loses balance in this equation, the economy can spiral out of control, forcing it to correct itself."
In short, you can blame the Government for everything that's happening right now. But hey, that didn't come from me.

Plane crash off Lido Key; Pilot walks away with scratch


A 2003 bright yellow Skybolt 29 crashed off Lido Key last week. The pilot, Frank Schurgers, walked away with only a minor scrape on his forehead.
Schurgers set out for a day of flying from Venice Municipal Airport. Enjoying a beautiful, cloudless, low-wind day that he thought would end with nothing but a few more hours on his log and some great memories, however, things didn’t go as planned.
Fifteen minutes into his flight while heading north over the waters off Lido Key, Schurgers stated the bi-plane’s engine stopped. Schurgers crash-landed into the shallow waters offshore. A lifeguard on a water scooter ferried the pilot to the beach.
The small aircraft’s pilot was the only person on board; he was not injured.
The single-engine plane was partially submerged in about six feet of water about 400 yards offshore.  And, according to Schurgers, the plane held approximately 17–18 gallons of fuel in the 29-gallon fuel tank and six gallons of oil.
Within what Schurgers described as minutes, rescue personnel along with watercraft and land vehicles arrived to rescue him.
According to witnesses the plane turned toward the beach and kept descending. It leveled off at about 50 feet, flew straight, then tilted left and cart-wheeled into the water.
Sarasota Marine Patrol Officer Bruce King attached a line to the plane and dragged it as close to the shoreline as his vessel would allow, at which point a land vehicle attached a line and dragged the plane onto the beach.
According to Schurgers the open cockpit bi-plane weighs 1,300 pounds empty. With fuel and a pilot it weighs roughly 1,800 pounds.
The cause of the plane’s malfunction is not known at this time. Schurgers stated that the plane had just passed an inspection approximately three weeks earlier.

OK, so now that we know a little bit about recession and how it affects our lives in a negative fashion (I was gonna talk about the effects a little bit but I think it's pretty obvious so I chose not to), let us now concentrate on the positive side of things.

In this section I will talk about the benefits of economic recession (obviously) and I will introduce you to people who realized these benefits and started using them to their favor. You can do the same, so keep on reading.
