India’s booming construction industry is set to be worth hundreds of billions of pounds by 2025, according to a report by Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics.
However, this rapid growth has often come at the expense of safety standards. Building collapses are common in India, as massive demand for housing and lax regulations often encourage builders to cut corners by using substandard materials, or add unauthorised extra floors.

The gift that just keeps on giving.
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits nations from claiming sovereignty of celestial objects, but is unclear on whether this ban extends to private companies. That makes the Google initiative more than harmless space fun. In law, there may be nothing to stop the competitors from claiming the moon, or at least part of it, for their own commercial exploitation.
There‘s no phrase for it, so let‘s call it „nightmarish return to reality Monday“. The first full week of work of 2014 is upon us, and it‘s a pain. On the plus side, this year‘s festive period has given us some cracking workplace conversation starters
Gefahrengebiet Politik
Ähnlich schlecht durchdacht wie die Errichtung des Gefahrengebiets heute, war im Oktober 2013 der Kurs, den der Hamburger Senat gegen die Gruppe der auf St. Pauli Kirchenasyl genießenden Lampedusa-Flüchlinge einschlug. Ausgerechnet in einem Monat, in dem im Mittelmeer Hunderte Menschen ertrunken waren, setzte die regierende SPD auf Härte.
Coney Island residents are in an uproar over a demolished community garden.
Residents say it was unfair for the city to bulldoze what they call their public plot by the boardwalk. They rallied at the site of the garden Monday morning and vowed to take legal action.
On Monday, December 30 at 11 a.m., a Press Conference will feature individuals whose long-standing community garden was bulldozed on 12/28/13 by iStar Development. At issue is whether the developer and the NYC government agencies that manage NYC parks have followed proper legal procedures for permitting this pre-dawn bulldozing to take place.
In our nation, finance has a hold on almost every single part of our lives – from the day we’re born, until we take our last breath. Capitalism and the quest for larger profits have taken hold of our healthcare, our education, our homes, our communication, and even our government. Today, most babies are born in for-profit hospitals, and their medical claims are paid by for-profit insurance. As children grow, many go to for-profit charter schools or private schools, and our public education system continues to crumble.

I think it’s a good thing, and I don’t think people stopped seeing each other, I think people see each other more often, they keep up with old friends, they keep up with family. It brings us together as a more interconnected society. It allows us to know people all around the world as people, not just as a vision of something. You know, when I grew up in a small town in Alabama, our idea of Russians and what Russians like was so far from the truth, but today this wouldn’t happen to people, because they would say, “Oh yeah, I actually know some Russians online, we’re playing this game together,” or “We chat,” or so forth. It’s allowing the globe to come together and view each other as human beings in a new way. There’s almost no downside to that.
