Temprid SC relabled as Temprid FX is very effective as a contact and residual.

Working with Bayer Rep about one lot number that is less effective.

Switched to a different lot # and will report results to Bayerin about 10 days.

My problem is procrastination. I was going to join a self help group about it but I kept putting it off.

The Times of India article you cited seems to be about the same flight as the one mentioned in the article for this thread. Here's one about bedbugs on a British Airways flight from Vancouver to London. And here's an article about cities in the US with bedbug issues. As we've banned effective pesticides due to environmentalist hysteria, we're seeing a huge resurgence in insect pests our great-grandparents thought were problems of the past.

You are a victim of the anglophone Indian elites greatest modern achievement, fooling the West that India is somehow brimming with talent. India is more or less a democracy in all the major areas where Washington deems democratic legitimacy lies and democracies get the governments people want/deserve. Unlike China, where the Communist Party seized power at gun point aided by Soviet/Comintern support and taking advantage of a nation exhausted by 8 years of war with Japan, Indians got a government more or less peaceably elected by Indians that keeps on being elected by Indians to this day.

Average IQ’s in India are lower than Malaysia. The PISA test administered to 15 year olds is not a subject matter (i.e. no asking about particulate dates or facts) but rather evaluates logic and higher order thinking and is the closest thing to a universal globally applicable IQ test. Indian scores when they took it, and promptly decided to not take again, were mediocre and ended up 2nd to last (72-73 out of 74).

Now keep in mind that most of the participating countries were OECD countries and thus, not Sh*tholes, so all of black Africa and most of the middle east weren’t represented but the only country India managed to edge out of the participants was Kyrgyzstan.

Indian student scores on reading comprehension, arithmetic, and science topped out in the 350’s range. This was significantly lower than Malaysia which managed a respectable 410 and more in line with some of the poorer countries of Latin America. Keep in mind that the base line score is a 500 which is standardized around a White European student from the post-industrial West.

What most superficial observers of India do not understand is that it is the ur-multicultural / multiracial civilization and that two thousand years of religiously sanctified caste endogamy has shattered the society of India into a myriad of competing micro races, which is why India along side South Africa and Latin America stands as one of the most unequal places on earth. Extrapolating Indian performance from the miniscule socio-economic elite jati networks that finds their way to the West is a fool’s game that Indian’s aren’t particularly interested in disabusing any time soon.

Was there an earlier time when the Indian independence proponents were more business types, merchants, more open to a market economy rather than socialistic?

I have no doubt there were plenty of business backers for pro-independence politicians. As with aspiring ruling cliques everywhere, they would have been promised all kinds of things (i.e. special treatment in the form of monopolies) after the demise of the ancien regime. A pro market economy businessman doesn’t care about the skin color or creed of the people in charge, and would probably have seen British rule as fairly good, given all the infrastructure improvements during their rule, vs a past where Indian rulers mainly constructed monuments to their own vanity (e.g. the Taj Mahal and any number of white elephants that are beautiful to look at, but not particularly useful for the plebeian masses).
