With Every Move, Fadnavis Emerges As A Tower Of Power

... set by the Bombay high court, then the credit will certainly go to senior Congress leader and legislator Sanjay Dutt. Soon after Fadnavis took over in October 2014, he had appointed Nagpur-based Sunil Manohar as advocate general, who quit after a brief period. He was succeeded by Shrihari Aney, who too quit in the wake of the row over a statement he made on the issue of a separate Vidarbha state. Since then Rohit Deo has held additional charge of AG. Dutt approached the Bombay high court, saying it reflects poorly on the state if the post of AG is kept vacant. Dutt's contention was that the provisions of the constitution do not provide for an "acting advocate general". The high court took note of Dutt's submissions and pulled up the state government for prolonged delay in the appointment of the AG. It was pointed out that ...

Is Closing The Tower Of Terror Another Mistake By Disney

... the show as a tribute for a few weeks in early 2013, but the response wasn’t big enough to persuade Disney to invest in running what would be an expensive live-action show in a theater with extremely limited seating. But instead of writing off the Golden Horseshoe as a fancy but low-traffic counter-service restaurant, Disney could try justifying the expense of the live show by running it as an upcharge dinner theater show, like the wildly popular Hoop Dee Do Musical Revue at Walt Disney World. I’d gladly pay to enjoy a fresh version of this Disneyland classic, and I suspect many other Disneyland fans would, too. Walt’s Office – Disneyland sent its reproduction of Walt Disney’s office to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida many years ago. But when they removed the office in 2015, Disney returned it to the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank. That’s nice, but many more Disney fans would be able to see this tribute to the man who started it all if it came back to the Main Street Opera House. Yes, that would mean finding a new home for what’s left of the Disney Gallery exhibit. How about making this a two-fer, then, ...

The Most Important Elevator In New York

... his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination: Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson. Ex-wife Marla Maples was an early visitor. Trump has met with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, both Democrats who have vowed to resist the president-elect’s calls to deport everyone in the country illegally. Environmental activist and former Vice President Al Gore came calling, presumably in an attempt to convince the president-elect that climate change is not, as Trump has suggested, a Chinese hoax. (How that meeting went can be assessed by the fact that, two days later, Trump named climate change denier Scott Pruitt as his choice to head the Environmental Protection Agency.). Most of Trump’s opponents are left cooling their heels in the lobby with the hoi polloi — tourists taking selfies, a group of country and western singers clad in little more than their underwear ...

Ben Chan’s Tower Of Power

... several years, then after five years, you need to renovate. That entails investment again,” he says. Dimensione has since widened its range of furniture and accessories sourced from various continents. Then again, Chan pulled a coup by opening the first Cappellini store in Asia, which targets the luxury market. Chan’swork desk is angled toward the door for good “feng shui.”. The core value of Chan’s company is to do good. It does what it does best—introduce new ideas, offer good products and services at fair prices, and help society by supporting charities or the arts, or helping typhoon victims. Chan’s major advocacy is promoting nationalism in a market steeped in colonial mentality. He observes how Hong Kong’s and Singapore’s local chain stores have been eclipsed by foreign high street brands. Not wanting to see the same situation in the Philippines, he started publishing books on popular Filipino culture and launching Bench’s ...
