Besides LS Land, other LS Studio collections included LS Island, LS Dreams, LS Stars, LS Barbie and LS Fantasy. The studio recruited girls between the ages of 8 to 16 through ads on TV and in newspapers. Operating mainly in the cities of Kharkov, Kiev and Simferopol, the studio deceived the parents of the children by posing as a legitimate modeling agency. Photographers then took pictures of the children in custom-tailored clothing, in the nude and in suggestive poses. Altogether, about 1,500 minor children were involved.

The deafening sounds of the grenade blasts and the numerous gunshots that rang the precincts of Taj and Oberoi Hotels and the Nariman House in Mumbai will continue to echo in the ears of millions of Indians for years to come.The deathly images of blood soaked bodies, injured people, mourning relatives, the stony look on the faces of those who survived the hostage situation and the seemingly never ending raging gun battle between the security forces and the terrorists, beamed through satellites to our televisions in drawing rooms, will be hard to forget and willact as a grim reminder of our vulnerability to terror attacks from Jihadi and other extremist groups. One particular image that I presume will be unforgettable is the unabashed face and that murderous glee, of theAK 56 armed terrorist, Ajmad Mohammed, wearing a black Tshirt with Versace written on it, a loaded rucksack and a tapeddouble magazine on his weapon, shooting at people.Encounters with terrorists and terror attacks are not new for us as we have been living with them for decades now but what has happened in Mumbai - Americans, Britons and Israelis being targeted in a particular fashion and the plan to kill5000 people- is a clear indication that our country is the new stage for the global jihad. For years we had been finding solace from the fact that international Jihad hadn't affected us and our problems were restricted to home grown terrorism borne from internal strife, be it Gujarat, Ayodhya or Kashmir.However, the attack on the country's financial capital has given an altogether different dimension to this game of terror and jihad, which incidentally is not faceless anymore. These jihadis or fidayeens are more determined than our home grown breed of terrorists who have killed innocent people by cowardly planting bombs in crowdedmarkets and trains. While undoubtedly a strong intelligence network is the key to deal with such terror attacks, an uncompromising security system is the need of the hour. We should take lessons from the Americans who have succeeded in preventing any terror attack on their land after the tragic 9/11. The formation of the Homeland Security departmentand the manner in which it successfully implemented a totally uncompromising security network is an example worth considering.One would recall how security officials strip-searched George Fernandes twice at Dulles Airport in the US capital area when he was defence minister, once while on an official visit to Washington and another time while en route Brazil. And also how the UK authorities refused to give concessions to Lok Sabha speaker, Somnath Chatterjee, and stuck to their stand of subjecting him to security checks at the airport.These incidents must have hurt the bloated Indian political pride but when security has to be made uncompromisable such steps are essential and there's no two opinions about it. What we also require is a security system where compromises have no place and the safety of the citizens is the only concern.The death trail of the Mumbaiterror attack has come right to doors of the tri-city as four people including two children from Mohali lost their lives. Though Chandigarh has been lucky so far of not being directly hit by terrorists, the question is that are we prepared to deal with such an eventuality.This city has a fairly large population of expatriates particularly from Canada, Germany, Australia, Britain and France. With the Canadian Consulate, Germany based Groz Beckert's needle plant in the industrial area, Alliance Francaise in Sector 36 and some international NGOs, a lot of foreigners have made the city beautiful their homes in the recent past. Besides being the gateway to Himachal Pradesh, the city is frequented by numerous tourists daily.So like anyother metro in the country, Chandigarh is a vulnerable and a fertile ground for global jihadis. Though senior UT police officials will like us to believe that they are prepared to deal with any eventuality, they have nothing to prove that theyare better than their Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Delhi counterparts where terrorists, in the recent past, have successfully exposed the huge chinks in the security setup.I am not a security expert and thus obviously not the right person to either access the existing safety measures or advise the UT police about the ways and means for improving them but as a conscientious citizen I strongly feel that much needs to be done. Our airport may be secure to a great extent but our railway station and bus stands are totally exposed and lack minimal security systems.Even the city hotels lack the basic security infrastructure and most of them have private guards, whoare more of showpieces rather than professionals.While it is for IGP S K Jain to decide how best to deal with the situation and ensure the safety of all of us, for a start it would be a good idea to consider installation of x-ray machines, like the ones at the airport, at bus stands and the railway station to scan baggage. Even prominent hotels in the city can be asked to do the same as prevention is certainly better than cure.Installation of CCTV cameras in crowded areas and a visible police presence by increasing patrolling and random checking of vehicles entering the city can also act as a deterrent. In a nutshell, security of the people, not only of the VVIPs, is the government's responsibility and it has to be done at all costs and not left to god.Write to[email protected]
Most of the federally recognized tribal people live on reservations, allotted lands or in the native villages of Alaska. It is estimated that there might be as many as 400,000 people having 25% or more Indian blood who live in the cities or away from the influence of the tribe. There are a few tribes that are not federally recognized; some of these are recognized and serviced by the states in which they are located. A few have terminated their relationship with the government. To say the least, the total Indian Community is heterogeneous. They are located an over the country. However, all of the tribes of over 6,000 people are west of the Mississippi River.
Economic Development this is a slow and arduous task. The investment of capital is only a small part of it. Great magazines, for example, are not just printing presses and pulp forests. They are an organized group of dedicated, skilled people. The same is true for a successful Indian enterprise, but it doesn't come about overnight.
My great hope for the Indian is for the feelings he has about himself. My prayer is that soon he will sit at his table and in truth be thankful for the bounties of this land-his land-our land. I want his heart to swell with pride that he is an American and that for there is an American dream. He must be comfortable in his heritage and proud of his ancestry. He must be shameless in the spiritual pursuit of his God. He must feel free to cherish and husband what he fancies from his ancient culture; as he must feel akin to the arts and works of his time and of his contemporaries. I pray that he will feel himself part of the spirit and strength of America, not a burden to America.
When I decided to go back to work in Land Surveying, I looked at my options. I asked to return to a former company, but when that didn't show promise, I decided I would reach out to some peers and ask for some guidance. I was told by someone I trust, "Reach out to Steve Lemke. He's got a Tulsa office he is trying to expand, and I think you'd be perfect for the job!" So I went their website ( -ls.com) and hit the "contact me" button.I explained that my hiatus from Land Surveying was coming to a close, and that I would like to talk to him about becoming a part of the Lemke team. After a few month's discussion, the decision was made by us both to come to an agreement and my spot on the Lemke team was created.I can say that it has been a year since I first made contact with Steve, and I have worked here since January, and I have been amazed at the level of service Lemke provides to its customers. The "Lemke way," as we call it, is to go above and beyond, providing the best possible service to our clients, and then just going a little bit further.Shortly after making my decision to work with Lemke Land Surveying, LLC, I realized that I had made a great decision. This was confirmed even more when I picked up the latest P.O.B. ( ) magazine and saw that we were No. 41 in the country for geospatial companies!I can say that as a project manager and supervisor at Lemke Land Surveying, LLC, I have embarked on a career that is exciting, to say the least! Our sister companies provide a multitude of services in a number of markets. Cardinal Engineering ( ) provides a wealth of Civil and Environmental Engineering solutions, and EnviroClean ( ) provides numerous Air, Soil and Water cleanup and monitoring support for the Oil Industry, as well as private customers and civil communities.Yes, this was a bit of a bragging session, but aren't you proud when a decision you carefully make turns out to be a great one? :) 2ff7e9595c
