Encouraging teamwork and mutual support, especially with new nail technicians, is essential to long-term salon success.
Teamwork is essential in the salon – coworkers often have to fill in for each other or take over a client. But teamwork is especially important to help new technicians learn the ropes and build their clientele. Although the new technician herself has the responsibility to promote herself and gain clients, the help she receives from her supervisor and coworkers will go a long way toward helping her get established.
New team members need to be cultivated and nurtured before their talent can truly shine through.
"Our basic philosophy is that if our nail technicians are successful, the salon is successful" says Robin George, owner of Nail Works in Akron, Ohio. "We all work with each other at the salon – it's not this client is mine and that client is yours, she's all of ours."
Since some technicians can be protective of clients the minute they walk through the door, Linda Elmore, owner of Illusions Professional Nail Care in Lafayette, Ind., emphasizes to her staff that when clients walk into the salon "We're all a group and we all work together. We help each other out if someone is running behind." Elmore is quick to point out that everyone in the salon shares responsibility for mistakes.
Says George, "If one of my standing appointments comes in and I'm running behind, I have enough confidence in a new technician to let her begin the service until I'm ready for the client." New technicians at George's salon handle overflow and referrals.
The same overflow system in place at Elmore's salon. In addition to overflow, new technicians at her salon service walk-ins. "I tell a new tech to hand out business cards wherever she goes and I also send out fliers introducing her and offering a discounted service with her to solicit new clients," says Elmore.
At the Nail Place and Boutique in Romeo, Mich., a new technician is not left to her own devices to generate business. When she is hired she spends the first two to three weeks observing other technicians while they work and getting to know the clientele.
"As part of the training process," says Brenda Choike, Nail Place owner," the new tech does a number of clients' nails at no charge, including the staff's nails, so we can see what type of work she does and offer any suggestions."
To keep the new technician busy between clients, Choike has her do inventory or supply work until she builds up a clientele. All of the technicians at the salon put in a good word about the new technician to clients. "There is no such thing as 'This is my customer' at the salon," emphasizes Choike, who speaks from past experience. At the salon where she used to work, there was a lot of competition for new clients and Choike swore that that would never happen when she opened her salon.
Another way to bring along new technicians is to have them start out assisting the established technicians. By doing so, the new technician observes the skills of a veteran who has honed her skills after years of practice. This allows the new technician to continue to perfect her own technical skills and artistic talent. Also, by listening to the conversations the veteran technician has with clients, the assistant masters essential communication skills.
To keep everyone in the salon informed at the same level and keep morale high, Choike holds staff meetings once a month where staffers air any complaints or suggestions. If her staff can't meet all together, she talks to them individually. "I encourage my staff to come to me if they have any problems, because if I hear it from someone else, I won't be too happy," she says.
Choike buys lunch for her staff once a week as a morale-builder, and if the salon has a really good week, she might also treat them to dinner after work. At Choike's salon, the team that works together, plays together. "We socialize a lot outside of work and love to play practical jokes on each other," she says with a grin.
George shows her appreciation for her staff by buying them expensive gifts for their birthdays and throwing an annual blow-out Christmas party, complete with limousine and presents. Her staff is so committed that in the 4½ years she has been in business, she and another technician have missed only one day each due to illness.
"I treat my staff so well that they don't want to go somewhere else," says George, who has had only two turnovers since she opened.
Whatever your background and experience may be, the age-old adage, "All for one and one for all," should definitely be the motto among nail technicians for the general well-being of the salon and its clients.

MidAtlantic, Daniel Stern's "tap room" concept, will open tomorrow with foods that "celebrate the best of what was and what is to come, with a focus on reinterpreting the roots of traditional Philadelphia foods and Pennsylvania Dutch flavors." So what exactly does this mean? A lot of scrapple, apparently.
There are crab, chicken, veggie and pork scrapple offerings in sandwich form, salads, sandwiches and nightly specials - an $18 platter of corned beef and cabbage on Thursdays, for example - a nightly $30 prix fixe, and desserts like Philly-style butterscotch bread pudding.
There's also a 'snacks' section, which includes fried oysters and clams and uses pretzels in a variety of ways. For those of us who remember the days of buying four pretzels for a quarter in a paper bag from haunted-looking men sitting on the median of Roosevelt Boulevard, we sincerely hope that a $6 "soft pretzel with homemade condiments" is insanely delicious.
Specialty cocktails run from root beer-inspired to colonial-era throwbacks like shrubs and fish house punch. The beer list includes the current ironic-cheap-beer favorite National Bohemian, but leans more heavily into the crafty varieties. See the food, cocktail, beer and wine lists here.
MidAtlantic, 3711 Market St.; (215) 386-3711

If you don't know already, I am a HUGE fan of dessert! This past weekend I had the chance to visit a place that I've been hearing a lot about recently, called "Snobar"! "Sno" is kind of like a cross between ice cream, shaved ice, Pinkberry and Dots! I love all four of those, so I assumed that I would love "Sno" just as much!
I ended up trying the following three flavors: mango, chocolate and rose. The Mango Sno was rather mild, and didn't really taste much like mango to me. The Chocolate Sno was also disappointing because it didn't taste at all like chocolate and in fact it completely lacked any flavor! Rose Sno, oddly enough, turned out to be my favorite of the three I tried. It definitely had a strong rose flavor, and almost reminded me a bit of a lighter (possibly healthier?) version of Kulfi (an Indian popsicle/ ice cream flavor)! Though Sno is undoubtably beautiful to look at, and it's paper thin texture makes it fun to eat, it seems to be a dessert better suited for someone who more concerned with calorie counting than intensity of flavor.

Get AccessTo the Editor—We enjoyed reading the article by Felice et al.1 We performed a total of 188 hemorrhoidal artery ligation (HAL) procedures from 2001 until August 2004. Results at 6 to 12 weeks postoperatively were promising (improvement in 170/183 patients (93 percent)). However, when we analyzed patients at one year postoperatively, the results were disappointing. More than 25 percent needed another therapy for their hemorrhoids. Only 36 percent (32/88 patients with follow-up of 12 months or more) stated that the operation (still) had a positive effect on their symptoms. Of course, we tried to find out why the results were so disappointing in the long-term compared with those published:
Morinaga et al.2 had a follow-up of one month postoperatively.
Meintjes' results3 were published on commercial internet sites but were never published in peer-reviewed journals. His follow-up was 5 to 24 months. Sohn et al.4 had a follow-up of 5 to 12 months. Ramirez et al.5 had a failure rate of 21 p ...

Review posted for Epson L500V
Dave Etchells
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 21:27 EDT)
Epson's PhotoPC 3000 and 3100 models were favorites of mine several years ago, but the company for whatever reason exited the digital camera market until just recently.
Their return is marked by a very nice little "pocket camera," the 5-megapixel, 3x zoom Epson L-500V. The L-500V's large 2.5-inch LCD monitor is clear and bright, even under bright lighting and is easily the highest-resolution, sharpest-looking LCD I've seen on a digital camera to date. Image quality is excellent, with bright yet accurate color, good resolution, and relatively little lens distortion. A ruggedly constructed all-metal case and retracting lens with built-in lens cover make for a pocket-friendly design, an excellent option for users on the go.
With four preset scene modes, a limited number of exposure options, and a full Auto exposure mode, the L-500V is a great match for novices or even intermediate photographers who just need a second, "take anywhere" digital camera. I'd like to see a bit better handling of incandescent lighting, a bit longer battery life, and a bit better low-light capability, but those concerns are relatively minor points in an otherwise excellent little camera.
Its good build quality, exquisite LCD display, excellent color, sharp photos made the L-500V a
Dave's Pick
, but I do recommend buying a second battery along with the camera, to handle extended outings. Read our

Colombo: Sri Lanka is blowing hot and cold against India following the passage of a resolution in Geneva that raised questions over rights violations during the war on the Tamil Tigers.
While President Mahinda Rajapaksa warned that countries which voted for the resolution will have to worry about consequences of terrorism, a minister mildly praised India for dilution of the impact of the resolution.
India was one of 24 nations which voted for the resolution, but after ensuring critical amendments that forbade intrusion into Sri Lankan affairs by the UN or others.
Countries which voted against Sri Lanka would have to be concerned of consequences of terrorism in the future, the Sri Lankan President said.
Lankapage.com quoted Rajapaksa as saying that "no external forces will be allowed to threaten the country's sovereignty".
Speaking on Friday, he vowed to continue his government's development and reconciliation programmes in the island's northeastern region that was the former war zone.
He asked people not to fall "prey to conspirators, opportunists and traitors".
The president commended the 15 countries which voted against "the anti-Lanka resolution for their support" and the eight nations which abstained from the vote in the 47-member UN Human Rights Council.
Countries which voted against Sri Lanka would have to be concerned of consequences of terrorism in the future, he was quoted as saying.
But Minister Maithreepala Sirisena pointed out that the resolution was passed with the amendments added by India to safeguard Sri Lanka from "the interferences of UN bodies".
These amendments ensured that no intrusions can be imposed without the consent of the government, he added.
India forced the US to amend its resolution to safeguard Sri Lanka from international intrusions by adding a clause that said the UNHRC can provide advice and technical assistance "in consultation with, and with the concurrence of, the government of Sri Lanka".
Sri Lanka downplayed India's support to the resolution, saying New Delhi gave in to pressures from its coalition partners in Tamil Nadu ranged against Colombo.
Another minister, Dullas Alahapperuma, urged the Sri Lankan public not to hate India for supporting the resolution.
Although India had gone the extra mile to make the resolution less "intrusive", New Delhi's siding with the West against an ally which stands by India in every platform "is seen as a betrayal", he said.

The compactness of it actually fitting in an Altoid tin is great- in fact I use the tin as the camera case, slip it in my pocket, and forget about it. Size does matter (in this case the smaller the better), and I take this camera where I would not lug around my SLR's, lenses, and flashes. There is great battery life and a 256Mb SD card holds all the high res pix you could want. Great exposure metering and daylight fill-in flash. I liked it so much I have upgraded to the Optio S5i.
On two occasions the autofocus was not spot on and took a picture anyway. The small joystick "OK" button is small, but this is a small camera. The battery door looks a little easy to open (no actual problems) and could have a better hinge.

Great recipe but way more work than needed. I cut up the velveeta into chunks and placed them in my casserole dish. Then I poured in the two cans of soup and 3/4 c. milk. I put the casserole dish in the oven at 350 and let the cheese melt. Once it was melted, I took the casserole dish out of the oven, stirred the contents until well mixed and added the rice, broccoli, and chopped onion..I omitted the celery. I cooked it for about 30 minutes on 350. It was a big hit.
I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before trying this dish! My mom and husband are veteran broccoli rice casserole lovers and thought this dish was exactly like it should be. It is a bland dish but that's what broccoli rice casseroles are. The only alteration I made was using milk instead of water and it turned out exactly as it should have. I, too, thought it was a bit runny before baking but Mom said, "it will bake fine," and it did. Personally, I like a more flavorful dish so next time, I will add seasoned salt and maybe some garlic. More traditional broccoli rice casserole lovers will want this recipe as is, though! Mama
For those complaining that this is bland, 1) IT'S BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE...not meant to be a symphony of flavors; 2) You see the ingredients. Anyone with half a brain can tell it's going to be bland and anyone with the other half would throw some garlic and/or spices in. There's no excuse for being surprised that it's bland. For those saying this is unsophisticated: IT'S BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE. Get off your high horse. Fact is that this is a perfect no-frills recipe that is perfect as-is or dolled up. You can sub wild rice or real cheddar (as I did), add spices, etc. It's a blank canvas; you bring the paint.

Regular cannabis use may be as dangerous as smoking in the long term, claims a UK drug expert. Professor John Henry, a toxicologist at Imperial College London, says he fears that deaths attributable to cannabis could soar. There are currently an estimated 3.2 million people in the Britain who smoke cannabis regularly, compared with 13 million tobacco smokers. Smoking tobacco is believed to cause approximately 120,000 "excess deaths" a year through heart disease, lung cancers and other illnesses. However, there is no firm evidence of the long-term risks of smoking cannabis. Studies are clouded by the fact that many cannabis users also smoke tobacco, and it is hard to conduct large-scale studies of individuals who admit using illegal drugs. The government intends to "downgrade" cannabis from a class "B" to a class "C" drug. This means that while possession of small quantities of cannabis remains illegal, it is not an "arrestable" offence unless there are aggravating factors, such as use of cannabis near children.
He wrote: "It may be argued that the extrapolation from small numbers of individual studies to potential large scale effects amounts to scaremongering. "For example, one could calculate that if cigarettes cause an annual excess of 120,000 deaths among 13 million smokers, the corresponding figure for deaths among 3.2 million cannabis smokers would be 30,000, assuming equality of effect. "Even if the number of deaths attributable to cannabis turned out to be a fraction of that figure, smoking cannabis would still be a major public health hazard."
Uncertain future
It is not yet clear whether the high number of younger people who smoke cannabis regularly will continue the habit into middle and later life. If not, then their risk of premature death would theoretically be greatly reduced, just as a smoker can radically reduce his or her risk of lung cancer by giving up before middle age. However, some studies suggest that even though cannabis use involves fewer "cigarettes", users tend to draw more heavily on them, increasing the potential damage from each "joint". Professor Henry said that both cannabis and tobacco released approximately 4,000 chemicals when burned - most of them identical. |

This paper seeks to establish what constitutes ethical practice in the provision of guidance by Further Education health care tutors who hold a nursing, midwifery or health visiting qualification and are therefore bound by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (UKCC) Code of Professional Conduct. It considers potential ethical dilemmas which such tutors may encounter during guidance activities, in the context of the UKCC standards and the five key ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice and veracity. Whilst these professional standards and principles may appear to provide a comprehensive foundation for ethical guidance practice, in reality they fail to offer clear support in the resolution of many of the ethical dilemmas that face health care tutors undertaking guidance work. Since guidance provided by such tutors may not be fully impartial, the importance of 'ethical sensitivity' and ethical decision-making skills are also highlighted.

2009 Annual Report
5.Significant Activities that Support Special Target Populations Contacts with orchardists and nursery operators regarding non-fumigant alternatives for control of soilborne plant pathogens, and in particular apple replant disease, occur on a regular basis. Contacts included the establishment of a demonstration in a small family operated organic orchard, interaction with growers at industry sponsored meetings, and frequent contact with small growers and nursery operators around the nation via electronic or voice communication. Information provided to growers is based upon findings from this project concerning the development of novel non-fumigant methods for the management of replant disease that can be utilized in organic and conventional orchard production systems.

Blueline kills cyclist
New Delhi, July 7 According to the police, the bus driver, Dhani Lal has been arrested and the bus seized. Last week itself, a teenager was crushed to death by a Blueline bus. |
8 car thieves held
Noida, July 7 According to SSP, the members of the gang used to sleep in the day and work at night. They worked in different colonies of the city and jhuggi clusters and were involved in robberies, stabbing, chain snatching and auto thefts. They would attack people and rob them of bikes, cell phones, gold chain, rings, etc. The total strength of the gang could be up to 50 or even more, the SSP said. The criminals were nabbed during special checking at DPS crossing by Sector-20 police and the SOG Noida at 1 pm today. One silver- colour bike No. UP14-J 1255 was stopped. Deepak Bhushan and Suman, riding the bike, were frisked. They were found to be carrying one pistol and two daggers, two watches and a Nokia cell phone. They confessed to a number of crimes in Noida city. A lot of looted things and stolen vehicles were later recovered from their accomplices. They operated mostly in G.B. Nagar, but a few incidents from Delhi, Ghaziabad and Faridabad were also reported. Some of them have been to Dasna and other jails. The gang also used girls. Normally the gang members were armed and moved with pistols, knives and ammunition. |
Man axes wife
Noida, July 7 According to police, there were some domestic problems behind the heinous murder. But the man is understood to have axed his wife as he suspected her of infidelity. The man had been living with his wife Haseena and two daughters, eight-year-old Madina and five-month-old Afsana in a jhuggi in the field of Mahipal Mukhiye for the last five years. A mason by profession, Habib used to beat up his wife almost daily under the influence of liquor. Haseena used to work as a domestic hand. Under the influence of liquor, Habib had started a quarrel with his wife Haseena yesterday morning. First he ransacked and demolished his hut and when his wife had left for day's work in nearby Bhopal Bhatti's plot, and elder daughter had gone to her school, Habib reached Bhopal Bhatti's plot with axe in hand. He gave a number of blows on his wife's head and killed her on the spot. The bizarre incident had stunned the villagers. When a few young men tried to overpower him, Habib threatened to kill them all with his axe. He then fled the village waving his axe in the air. |
Hoteliers demand luxury tax relief
Gurgaon, July 7 Ranjit Goel, president of the district Haryana Clubs Association, a part of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Haryana (HRAH), said, "The hotel industry in Gurgaon is currently in a stage of infancy and it would be badly hit if the government goes ahead with its decision." According to the industry experts, the hotels in Gurgaon are already running under losses as a number of taxes had been imposed on them by the government. These include VAT on food and beverages, bar license fee, service tax and minimum wages of unskilled workers. Besides, the hotel units have to pay an inordinately high amount as Change of Land Use (CLU) fee if they go in for an expansion on their own land. Goel said that there were a number of units, which were set up on land, which did not fall under the 'controlled area'. When the hotels were set up, the owners thought of carrying out expansion in phases. But more than a year ago, the land was notified under controlled area. Consequently, for any expansion plan, hotel owners have to first obtain a CLU, now. The industry experts say that the CLU fee has been a major deterrence and it will be followed by the luxury tax. Several entrepreneurs have invested huge sums in setting up hotels in Gurgaon. The industry claims the government has formulated the tax taking Delhi as a model. However, Delhi is a developed and saturated market, where as in Gurgaon, the industry was yet finding its feet. Hence, the industry here would not be able to compete with Delhi. According to experts, there is no luxury tax in Punjab or Chandigarh. In Rajasthan, it was eight per cent and in Uttar Pradesh, which encompasses Noida and emerging Ghaziabad, it is five per cent. Looking to the future, Goel said that Gurgaon was presently short of another about eight thousand rooms (six thousand on account of the coming Medi City and the other two thousand in view of the Commonwealth Game 2010). According to well-placed sources in the government, the state was eyeing at mopping up about Rs 40 crores annually as revenue from luxury tax on hotels. The source said that all factors were taken into consideration before going in for a decision to impose the tax. It was on account of the broad considerate view that only those rooms have been chosen whose rent is Rs 2000 per day. A delegation of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Haryana, led by its president, Col. Manbeer Chaudhary (retd) met the Haryana's Minister for Tourism Kiran Chaudhary on the luxury tax issue. However, the association claimed it did not get any response. |
Mosquito-breeding: MCD intensifies campaign
New Delhi, July 7 Gupta stressed that community participation was a must to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases like dengue, chikungunya and malaria. Gupta has appealed to the elected representatives to coordinate public awareness campaigns along with officials of the health department. The MCD has engaged 10 domestic breeding checkers in each municipal ward, who will report to area municipal councillor in person. Each area councillor will nominate five NGOs or RWAs to arrange at least 10 group meetings in their respective localities with minimum attendance of 50 householders. The public meetings will be addressed by area councillor on dengue awareness. The domestic breeding checkers will give field demonstration with exhibits as well as CDs. This exercise will continue up to September 30. The malaria inspectors will be deployed to create awareness amongst residents of JJ colonies, slums and unauthorised colonies to take preventive measures to curb mosquito breeding. Gupta has also appealed to the public to cooperate with the health officials and initiate steps to prevent breeding of mosquitoes. |
Development uphill task for MCF
Faridabad, July 7 The annual budget of the MCF has surged to about Rs 500 crore from less than Rs 200 crore a few years back and the civic body is set to launch major developmental works to upgrade infrastructure in the city. For this purpose, the MCF will get a whopping Rs 2,300 crore in the next few years under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission scheme (JNURM). Faridabad is the only city in Haryana which has been selected for the project. The first instance of the 'test' for the new Commissioner Rajesh Khullar came yesterday during the visit of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. The Chief Minister visited here during the foundation stone laying ceremony of the project of revamping the sewerage and water treatment plant in Sector 29. Several women met the Chief Minister and complained about the poor civic amenities like roads, sewerage network and cleanliness in the area. The Chief Minister and the MCF authorities assured them that that their problems would be solved soon. According to MCF officials, a huge amount had been spent on various developmental works here in the past two years. "But since the development had been an ongoing process, the MCF administration needs to be more active while handling the everyday problems of the residents," said Rajkumar Gaur, a local resident. |
Central varsities to have common entrance test
New Delhi, July 7 If the government approves the roadmap presented for education, a centralized examination for admissions to all central universities, including Delhi University will soon be adopted. A uniform system of semester and grading system will also be adopted for the easy movement of students among the universities. Plans are also online to increase the gross enrolment in higher education institutions from the current 10 per cent to 15 per cent by 2014. The blueprint of the plan has been prepared keeping the Jawahar Lal Nehru university model in mind. The proposed common entrance examination for all Central universities has been styled on the pattern of the JNU entrance exam. The semester system will also be similar to JNU's, where a student will be allowed to take a break for a year or two and then return. The annual fee for undergraduate courses may also be increased to Rs.12,000, with 40 per cent students getting scholarship. The JNU governance model is also likely to be adopted in all universities to ensure complete autonomy and check political interference in appointment of faculty members. |
Ayurvedic camp today
New Delhi, July 7 A team of expert Ayurvedic doctors from Dabur, headed by Dr K R Kohli, would offer free consultation and treatment to patients at the camp. The DAC Madhu Vihar centre has been holding free Ayurvedic consultation camps for two years now as part of its efforts to spread the message about safety and efficacy of Ayurvedic medicines. "Ayurveda is an ancient science that has mystical healing powers and is a boon that has been inherited by us. Ayurveda is the knowledge of life, a combination of body, mind and soul. Ayurveda is gaining popularity, not just in India but also in the western world, as a science that has cured millions. We are proud to bring to the fore the benefits of Ayurveda through this camp," said Dr Kohli. Dr Kohli, who is the Chief Ayurvedic Physician at Dabur Ayurvedic Center, has also worked as the Dean of the Government Ayurvedic College, Mumbai and served as consultant to WHO on Traditional Medicine for 10 countries of South East Asia. As a result of the socio-economic and demographic changes, occurrences of lifestyle diseases have become more and more prevalent. Diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular ailments have increased tremendously. Ayurveda is a natural know-how, an effective concoction of naturopathy and medicine that can be used to heal these lifestyle diseases. |
Sex education alarms BJP
New Delhi, July 7 He said if this would be allowed then the sacred temples of education would become sex spots and girl students in large number would leave the schools. "The Delhi government has prepared a curriculum in the name of 'Yuva' for all schools which is likely to be implemented from this academic session. The curriculum prepared in the name of sex education is so obscene and filthy that teachers feel ashamed after reading it," Harsh Vardhan claimed. He alleged, "The teachers were taught about the subject during a training programme. The teachers who had participated in the training had strongly opposed it and there was also acrimony among the children against this curriculum." Dr Harsh Vardhan said that when the BJP was in power in Delhi it had started a programme named 'Bharat Vaibhav Anushthan' for the children which encouraged moral education, positive health education, yoga, culture and sports among them. "This programme was stopped by the education minister of the Delhi government just after assuming office to take revenge. In place of that programme, now he wants to provide open education for 'lewdness' in the schools," the BJP leader alleged. |
Cinefan fest from July 20
New Delhi, July 7 In the golden era of silent films, the benshi narrated the story to the audience. The story was narrated to the accompaniment of a live orchestra. On the second day , Yuto Saitoi, a renowned Japanese artiste ,will recreate that very special cinema ambience. It is said that the Japanese continued to patronise silent cinema longer than people in any other part of the world because of their fascination for the art of the benshi performer. The tribute to Mizoguchi, one of Japan's three great masters, forms part of a special feature of a curated section, 'Focus on Japan'. To be inaugurated by the Japanese Ambassador, the section will present eight of Mizoguchi's masterpieces. This section assumes significance as this year is being observed as the India -Japan Friendship Year. The 24 films that would be screened in this section include Samurai films and a selection from contemporary Japanese cinema. Cinefan will also honour Tadao Sato, one of Japan's most versatile writers on cinema, with the Lifetime Achievement Award. President Cinefan Festival Aruna Vasudev said that they had been wanting to do a Mizoguchi retrospective for many years but it was not easy to get the films. "We got help from the Japan Foundation in sourcing some of the films," she said. Vasudev told mediapersons here that 14O films from 35 countries had been selected for their artistic quality and would be screened during the 10-day festival at different places ,including the Siri Fort Auditoria, Alliance Francaise, PVR Plaza and PVR Rivoli. Beginning this year, Osian's Cinefan has decided to integrate Arab cinema into the festival. Earlier, Cinefan had a separate section called Arabesque. The Indian section has films of 15 debut directors ,including two women. A section 'Hymns to Freedom' will screen films on the wars of independence in Asian and Arab countries. As part of the commemoration of India's First War of Independence against the British in 1857, the festival will screen 'The Rising' and 'Shatranj ke Khiladi'. This year's Cinefan will also recognise the work of cinematographers in a section called 'Film Craft' by screening films notable for their camera work. Another novelty in the festival is a section titled 'Springboard' which is a tribute to film festivals. According to the organisers, this section will present landmark films whose journeys began at the first flush of international film festivals in the 50s. This section is in keeping with Osian's tenet 'Recreating Cinematic Culture'. As in the year gone by, senior school children from different schools can see films free of cost at the Siri Fort auditorium at 9.30 am between Monday and Friday. The festival will open with the international premiere of "Raami" by Babak Shirinshefat. An Iran-Azerbaijn co -production, "Raami" is the director's debut film. The festival will close with an award-winning Egyptian film "Cut and Paste" by Hala
Khalil. |
SI, cop suspended for detaining contractor
Noida, July 7 The contractor was kept in the Bisarakh police lock-up for the night on the charge of breach of peace in the area. Somehow he escaped from the police lock-up and lodged a complaint with the SSP who reverted the Bisarakh SO to police lines and suspended one Sub-Inspector and a cop while the authorities concerned have been asked to take action against a home guard who is also involved in the incident. A case for kidnapping and illegal detention can be slapped against the accused cops, officials said. |

New Delhi, July 7 The injured have been taken to the nearby Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Two bottles of liquor were also recovered from the car. While the girl fled from the scene, the owner

Welcome to the Carnegie Mellon |
The Proper Name Pronunciation tool has been temporarily disabled. Sorry about the trouble!
One of the current goals in speech synthesis is to acquire high quality pronunciations for proper names. There are several factors that make proper names especially hard to pronounce. Names can be of very diverse etymological origin and can surface in another language without undergoing the slow process of assimilation to the phonologic system of the new language. Furthermore, the number of distinct names tends to be very large. We can achieve about 50% coverage of general text with a dictionary containing only 141 words (Zipf's law), whereas we would need a list of more than 2,300 names to achieve that same coverage. [Coker, Church and Liberman, 1990]
My masters thesis [Font Llitjós, 2001] represents one step towards that goal. It proposes the hypothesis that an automatic pronunciation model can benefit from language origin information similarly to the way humans do when pronouncing proper names.
In [Font Llitjós, 2001], statistical pronunciation models are built specific for proper names in American English that take language origin information into account. When trying to classify names among 25 different languages, the pronunciation model achieved 60.23% word accuracy and, by reducing the number of languages, word accuracy increased to 67.87%. The baseline pronunciation model trained and tested on the whole CMU dictionary only achieves 57.8% word accuracy.
These numbers are still rather low, compared to similar systems for other languages (German 89.4%, French 93%, Thai 68%). The question arises of what percentage of the pronunciations generated by such models is actually acceptable to a human listener.
This site allows users to type in their names, and uses Edinburgh University's Festival to generate the phonetic transcription as well as an audio file according to (i) the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, (ii) a baseline, ngram-based pronunciation model and (iii) a model incorporating language origin information.
Having listened to the audio files, the user is then asked to determine whether the pronunciations generated are correct, acceptable or unacceptable. If none of the pronunciations presented are acceptable, the user can enter the correct phonetic transcription (a phonetic table is provided as well as some transcription examples), and the corresponding audio file gets generated and presented to the user, so that s/he can confirm that it is indeed the correct pronunciation.
Therefore, in this early stage of the project, we are effectively getting expert humans to evaluate our pronunciation models. We say experts because everybody is an expert when it comes to pronouncing one's own name, and has a pretty good idea of what pronunciation is acceptable or unacceptable. Of course there is the caveat that some people are very sensitive to mispronunciations of their names, and the level of tolerance to synthesis mistakes might be lower than if they were listening to another word. However, we believe we can get valuable evaluation information this way, and it will be highly interesting to analyze user responses.
At later stages, our site will be able to present users with statistics on how people pronounce their names, and thus it will become a useful resource on proper names pronunciation.
Thank you for making it possible!

In a representation to the CIC, the election watch group said the political parties, both national and state level, had been availing various governmental facilities like income tax exemption, free airtime during elections and land and house allotment in Delhi.
According to information, while the Congress topped the list of national parties in getting R300.92 crore tax exemption during three fiscal years between 2006 and 2009, the BJP enjoyed a concession of R141.25 crore. Other tax beneficiaries for the same fiscal years were the BSP (R39.84 crore), CPM (R18.13 crore), CPI (R24 crore) and the NCP (R9.64 crore). The Prasar Bharti (DD) has also been incurring heavy expenditure on free airtime facilities to parties during election. According to preliminary assessment done by the ADR, the free airtime provided to various parties during 2009 Lok Sabha and 2012 assembly election translated into substantial fund which Prasar Bharti had to forgo. While the Congress is estimated to have enjoyed this facility worth R8.42 crore and the BJP R6.38 crore, others like the BSP (R3.96 crore), CPM (R2.77 crore), CPI (R2.62 crore) and the NCP (R2.89 crore) were also benefited by the government freebies.
Moreover, the political parties had also succeeded in getting land from central government and housing facilities at very cheap rate. Interestingly, union urban development has a well-defined policy for the allotment of land in Delhi. According to a very conservative estimate by ADR, the value of land allotted to the Congress is R231 crore followed by the BJP (R117.35 crore), CPM (R50.75 crore), CPI (R16.91 crore), NCP (R13.6 crore) and the BSP (R27.20 crore). The ADR said the cumulative value of the land under possession of six national parties was R456.91 crore in Delhi.
The government had also spent nearly R8.9 crore on six parties in providing electoral rolls in 2009 elections. On CIC notice only the NCP and the CPI appeared for hearing. The CIC has issued fresh notices to other parties to present their submission before it.
