For a larger slice of global pie, India seeks anchor role to turn local shipbuilding tide
shipbuilding policy that includes introducing a recycling credit note scheme, a fixed rate of subsidy for 10 years and the establishment of three maritime clusters in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Odisha, officials said. This is part of the Centre's push to grab a larger share of the global shipbuilding market, they added. It's proposed that a credit note equivalent to 40% of the scrap value of a ship being dismantled in an Indian breaking yard would be given to fleet owners, both Indian and global. This can be reimbursed against the cost of construction of a new vessel at an Indian yard, officials said. «With this scheme, fleet owners will be encouraged to recycle ships in India,» one of them said. «The only condition is that they will have to build new ships in India to get the benefit of the scheme. If they go outside India to order new ships, the credit note will not be applicable. The idea is to promote Indian yards in the global market and help them get more orders.»

An SIP investing lesson from a Bruce Springsteen concert
Lonesome Day. Fifteen minutes on, they were playing my favourite Springsteen number No Surrender, and the energy in the stadium had gotten people in the rows in front of us on their feet, and soon everyone was standing and singing along with the E Street Band. Of course, once people in front of us were standing we also had to stand up in order to get a better view of the stage.

Why the reliable office workhorse rarely gets ahead
You work so hard. Why aren’t you getting ahead? “Literally, what more can I do?" Alison Fragale, a professor who studies power, says the office workhorses among us think. We’re the ones picking up the slack when teammates fall short, the ones the boss calls when she needs something done fast, or last minute, or after hours.

The problem of crimes stemming from hunger
Goan crime being foiled. Thieves broke into the premises of a maker of chouriço, Goa’s spicy pork sausages. Local dogs, probably lusting after the sausages themselves, raised an alarm and the owner trapped the two thieves in the smoking room. Did the thieves eat the sausages as they waited for arrest? Food theft is one of the oldest crimes. In Christopher J Garcia’s entertaining book Food & Crime, he writes that the oldest legal texts, like the Codes of Ur-Nammu and Hammurabi include food related proscriptions. He also notes it is one of the broadest crimes: “It starts with piddly little pilfering, such as walking off with a pack of gum from the checkout line, then continues through to the highjacking of entire convoys of shellfish.” Garcia suggests that food theft works on CRAVED principles: “Concealable, Removable, Available, Valuable, Enjoyable and Disposable.” Cheese fits most of these parameters. Garcia notes that “the Centre for Retail Research estimates that four per cent of all cheese produced is stolen”. This is almost a million tonnes of stolen cheese. It is easily melted or cut into different forms and can be worth a lot, especially artisanal European cheeses made with unpasteurised milk, which are banned in the US.
