The Hindu Rethinks Its Ad Policy after “atrocious” Sonia Gandhi Ad

Apparently he got a good package for a frontpage ad in all editions of The Hindu and since he doesn't have outlets in Delhi he chose to put in a political ad for the Delhi edition.

The Chennai and other editions all had ads for his outlets and offers and such.

So that means while laying a track a bend has to be stretched out over as large an area as possible. Pretty tough planning if you think about it. My lingering doubt still is how much curvature would planners allow.

Let's assume very short wagons, say 1 metre in length with just 1 set of wheels and focus on the engine load. You suggested it will the work load will be more, right?

For the first three curves the elevation will be the same... Not for the other two.

some of the coupling force will be transversal to the track and not contribute to forward movement

Yes, this is one of the problems I thought of but couldn't put to words.

length of the wagons

Then there will be a maximum possible curvature for a given wagon length, right?

No, I mean the whole train, engine and all is at rest on a parabolic track, which 5 wagons on either arm of the parabola..

They have the skip-to-any-time option on their HTML5 player, the link to which is on the video page itself.

Actually, you can skip to any time in Vimeo, you just have to switch to the HTML5 player. The link is at the bottom ~~left~~ right of the display screen.

Ok, vs good vs bad. Adding water may not be a good practice, meaning it's not recommended, but it's ok if you do.

It's proposed that if the RTI applicant is harmed in any manner, the requested information will automatically be made public. It's buried in the article, here's a separate newspaper report: http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2512796.ece

Right. Thanks a lot for helping me out. I'll keep you posted on what happens.

So I connected it to an external and it worked fine - the compaq and xp logos came(on the external), then(the display switched automatically to the laptop) the laptop showed the lines, I pressed the fn+f4 key for external and the screen showed fine on the external.

Something's up with the screen?

compaq and win xp logos show up consistently

The opposite, actually. If and when there's a problem the screen is blank from the start. If this is the case, could it be something else?

No text is displayed.. Usually the 'Compaq' image loads first and then the Windows logo appears and loads(XP). But if this problem occurs the screen is blank from the start itself, then these lines gradually appear.
Problem's been there for a while now.. Driver may or may not have been updated before the problems started

*No shock damage.

I'll try updating the video driver. Will the screen work if/when I uninstall the video driver, before I install the updated version?

Not that I am aware of... Leaving the screen in the same position and switching on and off multiple times brings the screen back.

That's a great idea, will check it out.
