Fourteenth Marmomacc Stone Academy takes place in Italy
December 3, 2012
As part of the Marmomacc event in Verona, Italy, the 14th edition of the Marmomacc Stone Academy's continuing education program on stone design for architects was an example of the show's international dimension. A total of 28 architects from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., India, South Africa and Malaysia were selected to attend this year's program.
The architects spent five days learning about design with natural stone, earning more than 20 AIA credits. Participants visited a quarry and processing facilities in Valpolicella and spent almost an entire day visiting Marmomacc. The program ended with two days in Milan, hosted by Mapei, which included tours of a factory and R&D laboratory, as well as guided visits of La Scala and il Duomo.
Marmomacc's continuing education program is co-sponsored by Stone World and recognized by the American Institute of Architects, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Australian Institute of Architects and the South African Institute of Architects.

Gear Review
Let 'er rip... sums it up pretty well. These things point downhill, and don't like to turn. If you aren't on the hill consistently over the season, your legs will be on fire trying to keep these things from going ballistic. They 'can' do bumps, but you'd have to be a glutton for punishment. Best used for ripping wide open, steep powder. It's super stable at high speed. Speed limit will be determined by your ability, not the ski. Legs of steel...

Amazon announced this afternoon that HBO Go is now available through Fire TV. Along with HBO's entire catalog of shows, Amazon and HBO have also included voice search throughout the app, so a simple press of the Fire TV's voice button will allow you to find Game of Thrones or The Wire without typing a thing. Of course, HBO Go requires an HBO subscription through "participating affiliates." (more…)

HBO Web-Only Subscription Coming Next Year, Prepare to Ditch Your Cable Provider
During an investor presentation this morning, HBO CEO Richard Piper told reporters that his company will launch a web-only subscription service at some point next year. Currently, you need a cable subscription in order to have HBO, so as you can imagine for those who ditched the cable box long ago or want to in the near future, this is huge news. With a web-only subscription, you could subscribe to HBO by itself, without needing a full-blown cable package. (more…)

HBO Go on Android Now Supports Chromecast Thanks to Latest Update
Last week, we spotted an HBO Go mention on the official Chromecast apps page, only HBO and Google had yet to mention anything official. As of this morning, we no longer need an announcement because both Android and iOS HBO Go apps have been updated with Chromecast support. (more…)
HBO Go Shows Up as Supported Chromecast App in Google Support Page
With Pandora recently receiving support on Google's Chromecast HDMI media streaming dongle, along with Hulu Plus, we were all wondering when we would see HBO Go join the party since we saw traces of it during the device's launch. Apparently we will be seeing it sooner than we had imagined. According to a Google support page for the Chromecast that lists out compatible apps and services, HBO Go is now shown sitting next to Pandora and Hulu Plus as the "new" apps to the ecosystem. (more…)
HBO Go Update Fixes Android 4.3 Bug, Finally Works
HBO Go received an update today for "bug fixes," which really means that it finally works with devices running Android 4.3. Since 4.3 starting arriving on handsets, HBO Go users quickly noticed buffering and compatibility issues with the app, rendering it useless. HBO acknowledged that they needed to release a new version that would work with Android 4.3, but as you can imagine, the wait has felt like it has been an eternity.
So anyways, go get your update! I've tested it on both my Nexus 7 LTE and Nexus 4 – it works great.
Vimeo and RedBox Voice Support for Chromecast, With HBO Go and Plex Following Suit?

With Vimeo publicly excited about "offering Chromecast support in our products," it's only a matter of time till even more are joining suit. (more…)

'Corporation has facts on its side to fight the case'
The one-step-forward-two-step-backward phenomenon has hit again the Coimbatore Corporation in the Nanjundapuram Sewage Treatment Plant issue. On Tuesday last, the National Green Tribunal's southern Bench restrained the civic body from resuming the STP work.
The Mayflower Sakthi Gardens Owners' Association, the petitioners, contended that the STP's location does not confirm to the criterion the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has laid. The STP site should at least be 500 m away from the residential area.
It was only on March 18 that the Corporation moved a resolution before the Council seeking the elected body's approval to resume the STP construction. It said that a delay of 42 months has forced the Corporation to cough out an additional Rs. 17.50 crore.
It said that the Corporation issued work order in May 2008 to Hindustan Dorr Oliver Ltd., a Mumbai-based company, to start construction of the STP with a capacity to treat 40 million litres a day at the Nanjundapuram site. By April 28, 2009 the work had come to a halt as the residents of the area moved a court, opposing the construction of the STP.
After 42 months, in October 2012, the TNPCB gave the Corporation consent to establish order on the conditions that the civic body will shift the C-Tech Basin away from the residential buildings, increase the height of the compound, install odour mitigation system and increase the diesel generator capacity from 750 kVA to 1,250 kVA.
The Board also asked the Corporation to put in place a mechanism whereby it will be easy for the environment engineers at the TNPCB office in Chennai to monitor the functioning and maintenance of the STP on a real-time basis.
The Corporation sent the proposal to the office of the Chief Engineer at the office of the Commissioner for Municipal Administration, who, suggested a few changes and added that the Corporation could go ahead with the proposal provided it bore the cost from its general fund.
The Corporation took the proposal to the Council, which waved the green flag.
Sources in the civic body say that they are not worried as the Corporation is confident of getting the stay vacated. The civic body will highlight to the Bench that the Corporation pumped its untreated waste at the very site and now has chosen to treat the waste and pump it to River Noyyal.
The site has been a sewage farm for over for over 30 years. The sources point out that at the time of granting approval for the housing project, the residents of which are now opposing the STP, the Corporation has said that the sewage farm was nearby and that the project promoters were building the same at their risk knowing fully well the consequences.
The sources add that the civic body has facts on its side to fight the case and resume the work at the earliest.

Texas Named the Nation's No. 2 Most Business-Friendly State
Texas scores second in the nation in a survey of small business climates; healthy statewide business culture evident in robust Austin real estate and Austin home search market.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) June 06, 2012
Luxury home brokerage Regent Property Group reports Texas has been named the #2 friendliest state for small businesses, with its capital of Austin also receiving high marks, in a nationwide survey by Thumbtack.com. "As a business owner in the market of helping clients start an Austin home search, I can happily attest to the results of this survey," Austin Realtor Brian Talley said.
Texas soared above rival states in a variety of rankings, earning an A-, A, or A+ grade in 9 of 12 possible rankings. The state's best showing was for overall friendliness towards small business, where the state earned an A+ for its ranking as #2 most friendly nationwide. Texas is no stranger to the reputation of a friendly community, with desirable neighborhoods like Steiner Ranch and West Lake known for their sense of community.
This friendly business climate is tangibly evident as major companies like Apple and Samsung plan larger campuses in Austin. Plus, "smaller businesses are integral to a local economy," Talley said. "They are mutually beneficial to each other in terms of utilization of goods, they hire locally, and they keep money in the city, all of which translates into good news for the real estate market."
Austin received an A+ for the ease of starting a business; health and safety regulations; employment, labor and hiring; tax code; and zoning. It earned an A in the ranking categories of overall regulations; licensing; training programs; and environmental regulations. Only Iowa ranked ahead of Texas in the survey.

EPM reviews the second episode of "The Night Shift," NBC's new drama about emergency medicine and the hospital night crew. Full of preposterous medical situations and soap opera romance, The Night Shift might be a step backwards from "ER," but it'll provide hours of entertainment.

The great debate over allowing non-boarded EM physicians into ACEP is a battle that doesn't make sense anymore. Here's why ACEP needs to open its doors a little wider.
Studies have shown that opioid use is increasing across the country. Abuse is rampant, but so is the misapplication and over-prescribing of opioids by well-meaning physicians. We've reviewed four recent papers which can help create a strategy for ED management of this ever-increasing – and often demanding – patient population.
A 70-year-old male comes to the emergency department via EMS febrile, with worsening respiratory distress and altered mental status. You quickly diagnose him as having severe sepsis stemming from pneumonia, and initiate treatment. After setting up and preoxygenating him, you have first-pass success on your intubation, pat yourself on the back, and admit him to the ICU.
Emergency physicians frequently need to manage severe bleeding associated with vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs, eg. warfarin). Most of us are comfortable with the appropriate dosing of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and vitamin K, as well as the general bleeding control measures that are needed for the intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs), gastrointestinal bleeds (GIBs) and other major bleeding events in these anticoagulated patients.
This landmark trial suggests that complex, invasive sepsis care brings no statistical mortality benefit while consuming healthcare resources. Here is a quick run-down of the study that is shifting the sepsis conversation.
Traditionally, there is often a large gap in the time between when a therapeutic intervention is proven effective and when it becomes routine clinical practice.
An excellent example: The use of thrombolytic therapy in myocardial infarctions.
The evidence continues to pile up confirming that boarding patients in the ED while they wait for an inpatient bed is bad for patient care and bad for hospital business. So why is boarding still so prevalent, and why are hospitals so reluctant to take action to alleviate this practice?

Seven nationally recognized experts in alternative dispute resolution will provide training at the "Innovations in Collaboration and Conflict Resolution-Skills Enrichment Institute" July 29–31, 2009, at Lakeway Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas.
The conference will showcase the latest advances in the conflict resolution field and assist participants in integrating innovative techniques into their work.
The training is sponsored by the Center for Public Policy Dispute Resolution (CPPDR) at the University of Texas School of Law. CPPDR provides alternative dispute resolution training to Texas governmental and public interest entities, the University of Texas community, and the public.
This is the first year CPPDR is presenting this training. "We intend to offer this training annually and bring in the most sought after trainers available," said Jan Summer, executive director of CPPDR.
The keynote speaker is Susan Collin Marks, senior vice president of Search for Common Ground, who will address the plenary session at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2009. Marks, based in Washington, D.C., served as a peacemaker and peace builder during South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy.
State Senator Wendy Davis of Fort Worth, who plans to attend the conference as a participant, said dispute resolution is an important tool for resolving public conflicts. "I'm interested in training that provides the latest, cutting-edge techniques in this field and helps ensure that government is responsive to the needs of its constituents," she said.
The training consists of six interactive program tracks on July 30 and 31.
Continuing legal education credit from the State Bar of Texas, including credit for legal ethics, is available for specific program tracks. For information about registration, see the Innovations in Collaboration and Conflict Resolution-Skills Enrichment Institute web pages, or call the Center for Public Policy Dispute Resolution at (512) 471-3507.
A ten percent discount is available for faculty, staff, and students of the University of Texas System. In addition, the CPPDR is offering a limited number of partial scholarships for staff at nonprofit organizations and students.

Review: Turturro's 'Gigolo' is an oddball charmer
And yet Murray thinks she could be a good client for Fioravante. Inappropriate as this sounds, Fioravante handles the situation with grace. Somehow the two, when they meet, fill a crucial need in each other's lives. Their scenes together are quite touching, particularly a slow lunch in which Avigal shows Fioravante how to debone a fish.
Their budding relationship, though, causes angst for Dovi (Schreiber, also excellent), a Hasidic man who secretly pines for Avigal. A suspicious type, he also serves on a neighborhood auxiliary police force, which makes it easy for him to spy on Avigal.
All of which gets Murray into some real trouble. And here the film veers quickly back into slapstick mode. For a bit, anyway. It ends on a bittersweet but appealing note. And then you realize that you've been thoroughly moved, by a movie about a morose florist-gigolo and his wise-cracking book-dealer pimp.
That's what's fun about the movies, isn't it?
"Fading Gigolo," a Millennium Entertainment release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for some sexual content, language and brief nudity." Running time: 90 minutes. Three stars out of four.

For a long time there wasn't any big new about this mod. So here it is, like cocaine for a junkie, dose of news about H.I.V.E Mode incoming 0.3 version of this mod.
Posted by bmbr1990 on May 11th, 2012
As I said earlier that I would apply execution rules, I have to tell you that v0.3 wouldn't contain execution rules (maybe future version mod would contain this, but not v0.3 - it's because of player respawn system incompability). I've placed in mod main site a development log, so anyone interersted in this mod can read it.
in log if any section has "?" that's mean that isn't 100% certain that would be in v0.3
Thanks in advance
Any pictures or movies that presents v0.3 progress would be uploaded in nearest future.

Domonic Brown is riding the pine in the Dominican winter league
Nov 20, 2010, 2:14 PM EDT
This probably isn't what the Phillies had in mind when they sent top prospect Domonic Brown to play for the Escogido Lions in the Dominican Republic.
The Phillies hoped his participation in winter ball would help make up for some of the time he spent on the major league team's bench in August and September, but Brown has yet to appear in a game with the Lions, according to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Escogido has 26 games remaining on their regular season schedule and Brown is expected to return home before Christmas, so the clock is ticking.
Assuming Jayson Werth leaves via free agency, Brown should open next season as the starting right fielder with the Fightins. The 23-year-old outfielder hit .210 with two home runs and 13 RBI in limited action at the big league level this past season, but batted .327/.391/.589 with 20 homers and 68 RBI in 389 at-bats between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He's widely regarded as one of the top position prospects in the game.
One interesting angle here is that the Escogido Lions are managed by Ken Oberkfell, longtime coach in the Mets' organization. Let those conspiracy theories fly, people!
- Rob Abruzzese - Nov 20, 2010 at 6:01 PM
The winter leagues are not the same as the Arizona Fall League. The AFL cares about helping team's develop their young players. The winter leagues care only about winning. They don't care if the Phillies want this guy to get playing time, if they think somebody at his position is better than him then they'll play the other guy.
- Jonny 5 - Nov 20, 2010 at 7:28 PM
If a guy was better than Dom Brown, He'd be signed by a major league team, playing in the minors or maybe even the majors, because this kid's good. This is some d-bag flexing his authority muscle.
- obamablowz - Nov 21, 2010 at 11:02 AM
I'm a Philadelphia fan and I'd rather see him on the bench. Let him learn at the real level not some silly winter league.
- Decal - Nov 23, 2010 at 2:05 AM
The Phillies only wanted Domonic Brown to play for one month in the Dominican Winter League. Since he was on the Phillies postseason roster, the winter league had already begun before the Phillies season was over. Domonic only had 15 at bats from September 1 through October 23, a period of 53 days. Before he could begin to contribute to his Dominican team he had to take some time to get himself back into everyday playing shape. He started his first game on November 21st and hit third in the order. I would expect him to start playing on a regular basis and be back home before Christmas.

The deadline to file for Michigan's new Personal Property Tax Exemption is next Monday, February 10, 2014.
In 2012, Gov. Snyder signed the law providing a personal property tax exemption to taxpayers who own equipment valued less than $80,000 within a taxing jurisdiction. Taxpayers must file an affidavit form with the local assessor by next Monday to claim this exemption. For 2014 only, an appeal to the local Board of Review in March is permitted for those taxpayers that miss this deadline.
To complete the affidavit, taxpayers must determine the value of equipment within the taxing jurisdiction using valuation procedures prescribed by the State Tax Commission, or to disclose any alternate valuation procedure utilized. The $80,000 limit includes equipment owned and leased, as well as certain removable fixtures and leasehold improvements installed by a tenant. However, the lessor of equipment must also file an affidavit to be eligible for the exemption.

CEP: AIChE Journal Highlight - Solving Wicked Sustainability Problems Requires a New Approach
The challenges facing the world today — including climate change, resource scarcity, food security, water access, and energy demand — are fundamentally different than those of the past. These sustainability issues can be thought of as "wicked" problems — a concept that originated in the 1970s to describe the difficult challenges facing urban planners at the time and that has now spread to other areas, including engineering. In contrast with so-called tame problems, which can be solved by traditional linear, analytical approaches, wicked problems are much more intractable and very difficult to solve.

A large section of the Indian middle class who are made to pay taxes through their nose are essentially bereft of any social security unlike their peers in the West. Like in case of 38-year-old Gurgaon-based Sameer Chatterjee (name changed) – an MNC executive -- who despite paying his taxes is bereft of any government benefits on healthcare or other social sector advantages.
If one compares his outgo to the government in terms of taxes vis-à-vis the facilities he gets, he is simply has no social security. Chatterjee earns a salary of Rs 3.70 lakh a month. Of this, after accounting for the investments and home loan deductions, Chatterjee pays a whopping Rs 12.5 lakh taxes to the government.
Despite shelling out mega taxes, he had to fork out another Rs 20,000 treating his food pipe ulcer in the wake of the mid-night medical emergency. In December last he had to be ambulated to a nearby hospital with extreme nausea and stomach pain in the dead of the night. Chatterjee was diagnosed with food pipe ulcer – an ailment which burnt a hole in his pocket.
Apart from the income tax another, component of additional taxes that eat into his disposable income are value added tax and service tax every time he ventures out for culinary indulgence. It costs almost Rs Rs 1,000 a month. Service tax, meanwhile, is a ubiquitous presence on all his utility bills now. The medicines that he buys force him to pay additional excise, and sales tax in addition to the VAT. So he pays at least five types of taxes to the government of India.
His wife says, "Even after paying taxes diligently, we do not have appropriate medical facilities governed by the state."
Now compare this with a similar situation faced by an Indian Journalist working for a German media house in Bonn, Germany. I was admitted in a hospital due to fever. All that I had to pay was ten Euro, which included the entire charge from consulting to pathology. The fee was valid for a period of three months. I did not have to pay a penny from my pocket," Vishwa Deepak told dna. Back in Gurgaon, 75-year-old Saba's daughter rues the cruelty the old aged tax payers are facing. "My mother earns a pension of Rs 67,000 and earns from property also, on which she duly files an income tax in the range of 30,000 annually. Still she had to shell out Rs 40,000 to treat her spondylysis and cervical, including the physiotherapy charges. The point is we are being taxed at every step but getting nothing in return," she said.
Now consider this. In 2011-12, the government of India had foregone corporate revenue worth Rs 61,765 crore almost a fifth of the Rs 3,22,816 crore aggregate corporate tax collection in the year. In the current financial year, the Central Board of Direct Taxes has projected a Rs 4,51,005 crore corporate tax collection. Meanwhile, personal income tax collection has been projected at Rs 3,00,000 crore. An answer to the situation lies essentially in broad basing the tax base. People are now looking forward to finance minister Arun Jaitley for addressing their concerns in his budget.

As we reported in our July 15, 2013 blog post, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently filed class action lawsuits against Dollar General and BMW challenging those employers' use of criminal background checks. Specifically, the EEOC alleged that Dollar General's and BMW's application of background check policies had a racially discriminatory impact on applicants and/or employees.
Last week, the Attorney Generals of nine states (Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia) sent a letter to EEOC Chair Jacqueline Berrien and the EEOC Commissioners, describing the Dollar General and BMW lawsuits as "quintessential example[s] of gross federal overreach" and asking the EEOC to dismiss the lawsuits and rescind the EEOC's 2012 Guidance regarding criminal background checks. The Attorney Generals' letter to the EEOC contends that:
A copy of the Attorney Generals' letter can be found here.
The Attorney Generals' letter is a strongly-worded rebuke to the EEOC's recent lawsuit filings and Guidance, and may be particularly relevant to companies doing business in one or more of the nine states where the state Attorney General has openly opposed the EEOC's position — Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia. We will continue to monitor this issue. In the meantime, however, we are available to assist employers doing business in these states with creative strategies on how the letter can be used in defending against pending or future EEOC Charges or lawsuits premised on the company's use of criminal background history in making employment decisions.
Additionally, as previously noted, we recommend that all employers, irrespective of the states in which they do business, review their criminal background check policies with employment counsel.

Our Bureau
New Delhi, Feb. 7
INDIA is concerned about data protection as it is not covered within TRIPs (Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights) and if it is to leverage its vast scientific pool and inexpensive manpower, data protection is a must, according to Dr Ajay Dua, Secretary, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
"An expert group is looking at this aspect. However, we don't subscribe to the view that we need data exclusivity at this point in this country."
He was delivering the keynote address at the inaugural session of World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) International Seminar, organised by WIPO in co-operation with FICCI and the DIPP.
Dr Dua also said that the Government is almost ready with its manual for patents, which would outline the steps required to file for patents.
On the issue of enforcement, he said that many developing countries falter on this count.
"I think respecting the rights of people who have made innovations is important. It is as important as the issue of socio-economic development."
He added that the need to make intellectual property rights (IPR) an important and fourth factor of production apart from land, labour, and capital. Countries with better IPR regimes stand better chances of progress, he said.
Mr Sherif Saadallah, Executive Director of WIPO, said that one of the major challenges was to ensure that the IPR system be adequately integrated into the national policy framework and be used to support the country's development objectives.

Report Recommends Modifying Proposed Regs. to Address Pension Plan Concerns
Mutual fund investments represent more than 20 percent of Americans' pension plan assets. Since late 2003, two abusive trading practices in mutual funds have come to light. Late trading allowed some investors to illegally place orders for funds after the close of trading. Market timing allowed some investors to take advantage of temporary disparities between the value of a fund and the value of its underlying assets despite stated policies against such trading.

Marginal Salary Raises Reflect Cautious Times
The economy may be picking up, but cautious employers are granting only marginal pay increases and don't plan to do much more than that in 2005, the Associated Press reported.Two recent surveys found that on average, companies are planning for salary increases of 3.3 percent to 3.5 percent this year, which makes this the third consecutive year when average raises fell below the 4 percent or more level that was commonplace in the 1990s.

States All Over the Map with Consumption Taxes
When it comes to the consumption taxes that fund much of state government -- general sales taxes and the excise taxes on gas and cigarettes -- America is a study in contrasts, according to an annual survey of these taxes by CCH Tax and Accounting (CCH)."Aside from generally low cigarette taxes in tobacco-growing states, there seems to be little pattern to the way states tax consumption," said Ken Traisman, J.D., state tax analyst for CCH.

Grocery Chain Makes Workers the Watchdogs Over Rising Health Costs
If employees feel a financial pinch every time they go to the doctor, get an MRI or replace a crown, they will be more conscious of slowing the growth of medical costs.At least that's the theory behind a new health plan offered by the Whole Foods Market Inc. grocery chain, one of the companies turning to so-called "consumer-driven" medical coverage to save money, the Wall Street Journal reported.The upside is no premiums. After a few months on the job, employees are covered. The downside is high deductibles — $500 for prescriptions and $1,000 for all other medical costs.

They have been protesting at the Osmania General Hospital against a proposal to shift the college and hostel from the existing premises to Bandlaguda
Nursing students at the Osmania General Hospital (OGH) have been boycotting their medical duties and classes for the past three-days in protest against the proposal to shift their college from the hospital premises.
At Bandlaguda
Students say health officials have proposed shifting the nursing hostel and college to the Bandlaguda Rajiv Swagruha complex, located at a fair distance from OGH.
"It is illogical to shift our the facilities to Bandlaguda, which is far away from the hospital. We also demand that the nursing college and hostels be made part of the plans for the new OGH building, when it comes-up," the nursing students said.
There are close to 250 nursing students pursuing General Nursing and 200 students for the B.Sc Nursing course at OGH. All 450 have joined the protest and boycotted classes and medical duties for the past few days.
Senior nurses join in
Meanwhile, senior government nurses have also extended support to the cause of the students by taking part in the protests. They too have criticised the proposal to shift the nursing college and hostel facilities to a 'far-off place'.
"Nurses are emergency health workers and they have to stay close to the hospital. Instead of maintaining silence, the government should clarify on this issue," said Government Nurses Association president M. Annamma.
Security concerns
The agitating students have also raised logistical and security concerns with regard to the shift.
"Will authorities guarantee safety of the students? Will they provide transport between hostels and hospitals?" the students said.

Want to make the world a better place and earn a salary for the kind of work people usually do for nothing? If yes, then you might want to consider a career in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR represents a company's sense of responsibility towards the community and environment in which it operates. "Through CSR, a company tries to mitigate the impact its operations have on the society and the environment and thus try to achieve a balance of economic, environment and social needs," says Venkat Rolla, group head – CSR, RPG Group.
The Companies Act of 2013 under section 135, the CSR rules which came into force in April this year, states that companies falling under the purview of this section will compulsorily need to spend two per cent of their profit before tax on CSR. "This is a boon to the development sector as approximately Rs20,000 crores will now have to be spent by about 16,000 corporates every year. This is where CSR professionals will be required to execute and manage numerous programmes," informs Rolla.
CSR professionals in corporates, based on their organisations philosophy, articulate CSR visions, identify causes and obtain budgets. They have execute these missions by either raising funds for existing NGOs which pledge support to certain causes or by involving employees. "They have to try and scale up, improve quality and make projects sustainable," says a spokesperson from Kotak Education Foundation.
The idea is to reach out to the underprivileged in the community thereby making a positive impact on them. Professionals in CSR need to build a bridge and get employees to volunteer and give back to the society. "Contributions can be in the form of non- monetary (time, mentoring, skill development etc.) and/ or monetary resources with a focus on inclusive growth of the community," says Amol T Tope, co-founder, SucceedSafe. The spokesperson from Kotak Education Foundation agrees, "Chequebook philanthropy cannot be considered CSR, the programmes should be scalable and its impact should be measurable."
To make a career in CSR, one should know that it is not enough to simply say that you care about the environment or the community. Today, there are many specialised courses that offer training on sustainability. "One has to be qualified in the social sector along with some corporate experience," informs Tope. However, there are many professionals from other sectors who also enter this field. "A large number of participants have moved from other professions like Community Action on Harm Reduction (CAHR) marketing and other areas. Several educationists too have joined the profession," adds a spokesperson from Kotak Education Foundation.
Apart from professional qualifications, aspirants in this sector require other skills as well. Sensitivity and willingness to work with people, communities and the environment are must haves. One should also be well aware about government schemes and policies. When a company takes up a cause, many hidden realities of the government come to the fore. "To work with the government is a challenge that these aspirants will have to face," warns Rolla.
The pay package of a CSR professional depends completely on the organisation he/she is working with. "If CSR is considered important by the corporates, the incumbent will be in a similar pay scale as the other employees in the organisation,"says Tope. However, the experience this sector provides, will most definitely be satisfying in the long term.
Working towards make a difference in the lives of people could get stressful sometimes, but the reward of being a part of something good that affects so many people is always satisfying. "I have always had the heart to do good for the community but once you are out of college, managing your career/job, social work is hardly possible. Being able to do this and getting paid for it is a lucky strike," concludes Astrid Pereira, student- Communication for Development, XIC.

Latest Geomagnetic storm Stories
The Northern Lights weren't just in the Arctic last night! People as far south as Michigan in the US reported lights last night, and here's why.
Strong solar flares can bring down communications and power grids on Earth. By demonstrating how these gigantic eruptions are caused, ETH physicists are laying the foundations for future predictions.
Magnetic reconnection can trigger geomagnetic storms that disrupt cell phone service, damage satellites and blackout power grids. But how reconnection ransforms magnetic energy into explosive particle energy remains a major unsolved problem in plasma astrophysics.
On the evening of Aug. 20, 2014, the International Space Station was flying past North America when it flew over the dazzling, green blue lights of an aurora. On board, astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this image of the aurora, seen from above.
Two years ago today, Earth experienced a close shave just as perilous as an asteroid, but most newspapers didn't mention it. The "impactor" was an extreme solar storm, the most powerful in as much as 150+ years.
The Magnetometer instrument that will fly on NOAA's GOES-R satellite when it is launched in early 2016 has completed the development and testing phase and is ready to be integrated with the spacecraft.
Space appears to be an endless vacuum void of sound, but it's not. Electric activity not visible to the naked eye emerges from asteroids drifting through space, and NASA is now in the process of sending astronauts to an asteroid to explore its electrical environment.
For many years, scientists have been striving to understand the constantly changing structure and behaviour of the huge magnetic bubble that surrounds our planet. One approach – pioneered by Russian scientist Nikolai Tsyganenko - has been to develop models based on data sent back by spacecraft, such as ESA's Cluster quartet.
Last month (April 8-11), scientists, government officials, emergency planners and others converged on Boulder, Colorado, for NOAA's Space Weather Workshop—an annual gathering to discuss the perils and probabilities of solar storms.
How do you measure the effects of space weather on Earth-bound electronics? According to NASA heliophysicist Antti Pulkkinen, with high-voltage power transmission lines and iPads.

Ring Current -- A ring current is an electric current carried by charged particles trapped in a planet's magnetosphere. It is caused by the longitudinal drift of energetic (10-200 keV) particles. Earth's Ring Current Earth's ring current is responsible for geomagnetic storms.

The trapped radiation was first mapped out by Explorer IV and Pioneer III. Qualitatively, it is useful to view this belt as consisting...

Television channels draw flak
As the political developments in the State began hotting up, the Congress government was forced to issue a denial of reports that Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy was being replaced by the party high command.
These reports were a consequence of the meeting the Telangana MPs had with Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi and the latter's reported briefing to Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Ridiculing the media reports, Minister for Panchayat Raj K. Jana Reddy termed them "baseless, imaginary and without an iota of truth". "Will the party high command change guard for every three days?" he shot back, after emerging from a meeting with the Chief Minister in the Secretariat. In New Delhi, AICC spokesperson Janardhan Dwivedi described the reports as "absolute rubbish".
He blamed television channels for creating "unnecessary confusion" among the people. Mr. Reddy was among those identified by these channels as among the three probables to replace the Chief Minister. Union Minister S. Jaipal Reddy and Congress MLA N. Uttam Kumar Reddy were the other two.
Mr. Reddy said his name would always figure prominently in political circles in the State, but "the post of Chief Minister is not vacant". He asserted that the Kiran Kumar Reddy government would remain in office for the next three and half years. Any talk of change of guard without finding a solution to the Telangana tangle was meaningless.
Separately, Minister for Cooperation Kasu Krishna Reddy described the talk of "the government collapse" among political circles as "wishful thinking".
In a related development, the Chief Minister and Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi separately called on Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan at the Raj Bhavan.
The Chief Minister is reported to have discussed a range of issues, including the participation of two Ministers in the meeting of Telangana MPs and MLAs and the outburst of Congress MP Madhu Yashki against the Srikrishna Committee members. Mr. Kiran also reviewed the law and order situation in Osmania Unversity.
These meetings assumed significance in the light of nearly two dozen Congress MLAs joining the fast by former MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy in New Delhi.
Sankranti greetings
Mr. Chiranjeevi, who was closeted with Mr. Narasimhan for about 30 minutes, said in reply to a question that he would extend support to the Congress government in the interests of the State. He, however, claimed that the purpose of the meeting was only to extend Sankranti greetings.
Seven MLAs of the MIM had called on Chief Minister on Wednesday, ostensibly to assure their party's support.

Oklahoma City Barons: Barons officials hope young Edmonton stars attract more fans
"People now know who the Barons are and that they had great success on the ice last year. Our office is doing a good job of branding our team and getting our players out in the community."
Scott said he's seen similar situations in other markets.
"You wish in Year 1 you had 10,000 people at every game, but that's not the reality of minor league hockey. That's wishful thinking," Scott said. "Historically, in most AHL cities, that's not the way it goes. Usually you build up."
During the NHL lockout, American Hockey League games probably would be instant sellouts in Canada or traditional hockey markets in the U.S. In fact, some Edmonton fans might make the long trek to Oklahoma City to watch the Oilers' stars of the future.
Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini is confident attendance will improve.
"Bob Funk Jr., has done a great job of putting a marketing, sales team together that should take this group to the next level," Tambellini said.
The bottom line: Edmonton officials are ecstatic with the partnership with OKC and Prodigal Hockey, which operates the Oilers-owned franchise.
"I'm so proud of the work that Bill Scott and (coach) Todd Nelson have done," Tambellini said. "This is one of the most professional minor league teams that you're going to encounter.
"The players love it here. They'll speak to what it means to play in Oklahoma City. We have no difficulty recruiting (players) to come to this city."
The subplot the next few weeks is whether Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle and a talented young team can impact attendance in the middle of football season and when the NBA's Thunder start its season.
We'll find out soon enough.
The Barons (1-1-0) do not hit the road again until Nov. 4. The home opener Friday night against San Antonio begins a seven-game homestand over a two-week span at the Cox Center.

7-Eleven now accepts AirAsia payments
More News from Maila Ager
popular .
MANILA, Philippines –More than 800 7-Eleven stores will accept cash payments for one of the country's low cost carrier, AirAsia, starting next week, the airline announced on Friday.
In a statement, Clark-based AirAsia Inc. also announced a new customer hotline number that will be easy to remember 742ASIA or 742.27.42 starting February 25, 2013.
The cash payments to the more than 800 outlets of 7-Eleven will start on February 28.
"To provide optimum customer care service for our guests, AirAsia is launching two new significant innovations," AirAsia Inc commercial head Freddy Herrera said.
"We have a new customer hotline that is easy to remember and we are also rolling out our cash payment partner with 7-Eleven store for our passengers who want to avail of our online promo and other privileges but would like to pay in cash instead of using their credit cards," Herrera said.
AirAsia said its payment partner service provides the convenience of using cash when paying for AirAsia promo fares and other online purchases at www.airasia.com.
"Filipinos will embrace this new concept of paying cash for airline rickets via our payment partners option because of its simplicity and convenience," Herrera said.
The payment partner service covers all Philippines' AirAsia flights from its hub in Clark International Airport to Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur including domestic flights to Davao and Kalibo (Boracay).
"We are expanding our payment partners service to include other outlets in the coming weeks so that more and more people will benefit from AirAsia's awesome low fares and extensive route network covering 80 destinations in 20 countries, Herrera added.
