For Obama's Visit, Plans for 'Special Moment' with PM Modi: NDTV

For Obama's Visit, Plans for 'Special Moment' with PM Modi: Sources

NEW DELHI:  With preparations and the itinerary for President Barack Obama's visit in the last-mile phase, officials tell NDTV that US and Indian officials are looking at creating a "special moment" in the league of the spontaneous visit to the Martin Luther King memorial that was taken when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the White House late last year.
 
Sources in the Indian government say there may be a walk to the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat, or a joint radio address, described by officials as "a work in progress". The PM addresses the nation every month with a radio speech titled "Mann Ki Baat (From the Heart)." 
 
When PM Modi visited the US last year, a joint statement with Mr Obama was titled "Chalein Saath Saath" (Moving Forward, Together) and pledged a deeper economic and strategic partnership between their countries. The leaders also co-wrote an editorial for The Washington Post. 
  
President Obama arrives in Delhi on the 25th for a three-day visit. He will become the first US President to serve as Chief Guest for the Republic Day celebrations that mark the day when the Constitution was adopted.  
 
When PM Modi visited Washington DC last year, in a unique departure from protocol, Mr Obama took him on a short motorcade drive from the White House to the memorial honoring slain US civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

In Delhi today, US Ambassador Richard Verma described the upcoming visit as 'a defining moment for Indo-US ties' and underscored the Obama administration's goal of an increase in bilateral trade to $500 billion a year from about $100 billion currently.

Peshawar sinks in gloom - TALIBAN SHAMELESS TERROR ATTACK ON PAKISTAN

PESHAWAR: December 16, which is the blackest day for the country due to its dismemberment in 1971, has added another black chapter to the national history. Now, the day will be remembered for the gloom and destruction descended on the provincial capital.   There was no letup in the wailing of ambulance sirens. Dozens of ambulances, both of government as well as non-governmental organisations, seemed to be running short for ferrying bodies of students and teachers of the Army Public School and College, who fell prey to the devastating act of terrorism on Tuesday. There were ambulances of different hue and colour, but all serving the same purpose of carrying the injured and the bodies to major hospitals, including the Combined Military Hospital and the Lady Reading Hospital.

WEB DESIGN- WIKIPEDIA

Web design  encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design ; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software;  user experience design ; and  search engine optimization . Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. [1]  The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. Web design partially overlaps  web engineering  in the broader scope of  web development . Web designers are expected to have an awareness of  usability  and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with  web accessibility  guidelines.
