Since the first Chicago locations opened six years ago, more than 1,000 students have earned their high school diplomas through Ombudsman. The CPS options schools offer one-on-one support, computer-based coursework, and flexible schedules.

Four thousand years later, the Heavenly Emperor's second son, the Phoenix Fire Deity was entrapped by someone and mistakenly entered Shui Jing. He was saved by the ignorant Jin Mi. After living together for a hundred years, the Fire Deity gradually developed feelings for Jin Mi. Who would have thought that he would be attracted to Jin Mi?
In between the Heavenly World and the Devil World, there is an immeasurably deep River of Forgetfulness, where the war between the Fire Deity and Night Deity finally erupts.
I hurt so greatly that my toes were knotted like I pulled a tendon. I looked at the servant in loss and terror, "Quick! My heart has disappeared! I have lost my heart! Help me find it! Quick! It must be somewhere in the house! You must find it! It's so painful, so painful I could die." I held the empty part of my chest and bunched into a ball.

Take Nothing for GrantedSeptember 27, 2017
Today the "Big Six" released their proposal for tax reform, entitled: "Unified Framework for Fixing Our Broken Tax Code." It calls for reducing the top corporate tax rate to 20 percent, preserving the research and development deduction, and allowing companies to immediately expense the cost of new investments in depreciable assets other than structures for at least five years. We were very pleased to see that there was no proposal to limit advertising deductions covered in the framework.
We commend the "Big Six" for their efforts over the last several months to develop this proposal. On September 8th, ANA and other industry groups met with senior officials at the Treasury Department. We support corporate tax reform, but we are very concerned that the current tax deduction for advertising costs could still be at serious risk in this debate.
The document does not describe how these changes would be paid for but does include some very significant language: "numerous other special exclusions and deductions will be repealed or restricted." In addition, the document states: "While the framework envisions repeal of other business credits, the committees may decide to retain some other business credits to the extent budgetary limitations allow."
We have consistently been told in our meetings with key members of the tax-writing committees that "everything is on the table" to pay for corporate tax rate deductions.
We strongly support the lowering of corporate tax rates to guarantee U.S. competitiveness. However, it would be inappropriate and certainly counterproductive to impose increased tax burdens on the effort to sell in order to fund the tax reform effort. Advertising is extremely valuable to the U.S. economy, both as an economic driver of sales and as a consumer resource. It is part of the lifeblood of the economy, not a special interest exemption to be used to make up for shortfalls elsewhere.
ANA and The Advertising Coalition (TAC), of which ANA was a founding member, recently released a study which provides a comprehensive assessment of the total economic impact of advertising expenditures across the country. The study, conducted by IHS Economics and Country Risk, Global Insight, Inc., is based on an econometric model of the U.S. economy that was originally created by the late Dr. Lawrence R. Klein, a Nobel Laureate in Economics.
The study found the following:
- Advertising contributed $3.4 trillion to the U.S. GDP in 2014, comprising 19 percent of the nation's total economic output
- Each dollar spent on advertising expenses generates nearly $19 of economic output
- Every $1 million spent annually on advertising supports 67 American jobs
- Advertising supports 20 million, or 14 percent, of the jobs in the U.S.
The study found that the impact of advertising is surprisingly consistent across the country regardless of the location or population of a state. For example, advertising generates 19 percent of economic impact in both New York and Arkansas. In fact, there is no congressional district or state in this country where advertising does not play a highly beneficial and substantial role.
As the tax reform debate proceeds, we will continue our efforts to preserve the full deductibility of all advertising costs.

Rich fruit cake
Rich fruit cakeSubscribe to Sainsbury's magazine
Get your bake on with Nancy Birtwhistle's rich fruit cake recipe
- 1kg mixed dried fruit
- 100g glacé cherries, washed, dried and cut into thirds
- 4 tbsp Cointreau, brandy, sherry or juice from the orange (after zesting)
- 250g soft salted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 250g dark brown soft sugar
- 1 tbsp golden syrup or black treacle
- 5 medium eggs, beaten
- 250g plain flour
- 1 tsp ground mace (or nutmeg)
- 1 tsp ground mixed spice
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- finely grated zest of 1 orange
- finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Step by step
This fruit cake will keep for at least 3 months wrapped in a double layer of baking paper and foil, stored in an airtight container
First thing in the morning, put the mixed fruit and cherries in a large bowl and add the Cointreau (or other liquid), stir and cover with clingfilm, then leave until the evening.
In the evening, grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm springform tin (unlike most fruit cakes, a single layer of lining paper is sufficient for this recipe, due to the low slow bake). Preheat the oven to 120°C, fan 100°C, gas ½.
Cream together the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until pale, light and fluffy. Add the syrup or treacle and continue to mix. Gradually incorporate the beaten eggs, a little at a time, along with a teaspoon of flour at each egg addition. This helps to prevent the mixture from curdling. When all the egg has been incorporated, gently fold in the rest of the flour, the spices and zests. Finally, fold in the soaked fruits.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin, level the top and bake for 9-10 hours. A skewer inserted in the centre should come out without any sticky cake mixture on it.
Leave the cake to go completely cold before carefully removing from the tin
The twists
Make the cake in October and store in a tin until Christmas, then cover in marzipan and finish with royal icing. Alternatively, if you prefer a 'naked' cake, decorate the cake with 150g lightly toasted whole nuts. Gently heat 2 tbsp apricot jam and 2 tbsp brandy in a small pan and pass through a sieve. Cool slightly, brush on top of the cake and decorate with the nuts, then brush over more of the glaze.
Make up half of the recipe (use 3 eggs) and divide between 2 x 450g lined loaf tins, then bake for 4-5 hours. These fruit loaves will keep well in a tin (although I often give one to a friend) and a slice is delicious with cheese. EACH LOAF SERVES 6-8 V
Make a full quantity of the cake and bake in a lined 23cm square cake tin for 7-8 hours (the mixture is slightly shallower in a square tin). Store until Christmas, then cut into 9 squares, brush with 200g warmed and sieved apricot jam and cover each one in marzipan (2 x 454g packs) and ready-to-roll icing (1 x 1kg pack). Decorate with stars cut out of the icing (stick them on with a little cooled boiled water brushed on the underside) and tie a wide ribbon around the sides (you'll need 3m in total).
'This is so easy to make, you'll never buy a fruit cake again. I bake it "low and slow" so the finished cake is really moist. You don't even need to "feed" it with alcohol, although feel free to do so if you like that boozy hit!'

Welcome to this week's 'The Monday Interview'.
Today we are focusing on another growth area - a job that has increased dramatically in popularity and demand over the last two decades: holistic therapy. Do you have an interest in health and wellbeing? Are you a people person who is great at putting people at ease and lending a sympathetic ear? Then this could be a great career choice for you.
And it is a job that also offers flexibility. It can be done either with an employed or self-employed status - perfect for those of you who perhaps have family commitments to work around or who may be looking for an additional income stream, as well as those who may be looking to make it their full time career.
Today's contributor, Ann, is an experienced professional in the complementary therapy industry, having worked in it for nearly 20 years. Like many who enter the profession, she was a career changer. Holistic therapy started out as a hobby and ended up as much more. These days she not only provides holistic therapy but has expanded her business to provide training as well.
Thanks for your interview Ann. Not only is it great to hear from someone in this interesting and popular career area but it is wonderful to be able to present an example of a successful business enterprise.
So, briefly, what is your job?
"I am a holistic therapist, tutor and speaker. My company is called Guru Holistics and the training branch is Guru Holistic Training."
How did you get into it?
"I initially trained as a chef and baker but came to a very quick conclusion that I was not going to do that for ever, so enrolled on a teaching course with the intention of teaching catering.
When I moved from Wales to my husband's home town, I looked at evening classes and picked aromatherapy. As a chef we use herbs and spices so this interested me. I also remember making "potions" in the kitchen with my mother's set of herbs that she rarely used. I was asked to teach a course by my reflexology tutor. That led to me working in FE colleges for a few years which I didn't enjoy due to staffroom politics.
I have always worked as a freelance therapist and tutor and have worked at Seaham Hall Serenity Spa, 4 colleges and community teaching organisations such as WEA. I have worked alongside hypnotherapists, acupuncturists, Shiatsu, sports injury and Tai chi therapists."
Describe a typical day.
"I wake up around 7am, switch my computer on, check for emails and check my diary. I print manuals or hand outs off depending on what I am doing. I generally start work at 9 and finish between 3 and 8pm.
If teaching, I need to ensure that I have manuals, teaching aids etc to take with me. If it's a talk or demonstration I ensure I have hand outs and teaching aids. If it's a therapy day, I ensure I have towels to take in with me as I do the laundry at home.
I get to my therapy venue, set up, put some "plinky-plonky" music on and relax before my client arrives. I generally work in 55 minute slots, giving me 5 minutes to re-do the massage couch, remove soiled towels and bowls used in treatment.
If providing talks I can be at a centre for drug and alcohol dependency, mentally or physically disabled young adults, young mums groups, church groups or pain management groups. I have to quickly adjust my approach to suit the group.
When teaching I work with small groups of 1-4 students. I start with essential health and safety, theory, history and development, marketing, consultation skills, etc before introducing the practical element. I often take a turn on the massage couch to assess the student's pressure, tempo and stance. I am passionate about making therapists aware of burn-out due to stress, overwork, RSI, not protecting themselves from negative energy, etc."
What do you enjoy most about your job?
"I love being self-employed for starters. I also love the variety of my job as I do therapies, teach and provide talks.
I love the fact that everyone is always pleased to see me. I see the immediate response to treatment; a client can come in with the troubles of the world on their shoulders, and leave my massage couch and float down the stairs.
I also get a kick out of developing new treatments and writing training manuals, I have so far written 31 training manuals with 3 more to be released this year.
I am also writing a novel, but have only written 2 pages in 6 months."
And the least?
"Sums! I hate doing my "books" and always leave them to do in a mad caffeine fuelled two day session, then hand over to accountant to fill in the tax return. I also dislike self-promotion."
What are the common misconceptions that people have about the work you do?
"That I'm a Jesus sandal wearing, garlic and lentil eating hippy. Although I do eat garlic and lentils. Also some dimwits think that massage = sexual services / massage parlour."
What are the main skills you need to work as a holistic therapist?
"You need to be caring, empathetic, and have soft hand and, soft ears!"
Tell us a little about the benefits that come with the job.
"I earn as little or as much as I put my mind to. I pay myself a set income so that I have money reserved for 1) the tax bill, 2) holidays and 3) quiet periods/illness. I work as little or as much as I like, some days I work solidly from 9-8pm with little breaks and little to eat.
I attend training courses throughout the year which is saved for as I have to pay for the course and also have loss of earnings to contend with.
Other days I can fit the gym in between clients. Some days I have no clients and no students. I fit my son's activities around my working hours too."
What advice would you give someone wanting to break into this career?
"Everyone wants a massage, few people wish to pay for a massage. I would suggest building your clientele up gradually whilst working part time to ensure you have an income. Employed therapists are paid minimum wage.
With regards to courses, I think it is best to start with Swedish massage and try and do a separate anatomy and physiology diploma. VTCT, ITEC, NVQ and City & Guilds are the main awarding bodies."
Where do you see yourself in 10 years' time?
"I would love to be running a training academy with a salon, having staff to that I can train up to be mini-gurus and teach and perform treatments with the same energy, compassion and excitement as I do.
I also intend to travel to countries to learn new skills such as Indonesia, Tibet, India and China.
First in the office or last to leave?
"As its only me first and last. Being self-employed, my office is open 24/7 with my laptop and blackberry."
Tea or coffee?
"Black coffee."
Staff canteen or packed lunch?
"Mad dash to the corner shop for anything they have."
The lift or the stairs?
Out after work or straight home to bed?
"Straight home to work on my laptop. Or body balance at the gym."

DescriptionWasabi Sauce is an exotic sauce made from the wasabi plant, grown mainly in the mountain valley regions of Japan. Wasabi is also called Japanese horseradish. It has a sharp and earthy taste, which is known to 'hit the nose rather than the tongue'. That is, when you taste a drop of it, the flavour rises to the nose with a slight tingle or stinging sensation. Wasabi sauce is available in powder or paste form – generally green in colour. Since wasabi grows only in some locations, the sauce is quite expensive. How to select• Wasabi sauce is available in small, tube-like packaging.• Read the label before purchasing.Culinary uses• Wasabi sauce is used in Japanese cooking. • It is a basic accompaniment served alongside Sushi.How to store• Store it in an airtight container.• Keep it refrigerated all the time.

Leveraging the online platforms available to us today to thrust our stories far and wide was only a dream a few decades earlier. Social media has become a place where talent gets discovered, news get broken and we don't wait for weeks — we feel the impact immediately. Occurrences get revealed as they take form.
Of course, the most profound thing is this: social media are global.
Now, having a deliberately and well-built online presence has a few benefits. One, it acts as your billboard and represents you when you aren't in the room. It allows you to build connections without geographical restrictions and my favourite, it allows you to display your work (just as artist Nelson Makamo has turned his Instagram profile into a gallery) and prove your value and build an engaged audience.
The following three-pronged approach is what I have used to build my own online presence.
Perhaps because I am a Writer. But I believe writing well is a necessity in expressing yourself — not a pursuit reserved for professional writers. What I see often is a disregard for writing on social media platforms. So, you'd have people who attempt to write well when they send an email compared to when they pen a status update or tweet.
I prefer crafting to the best my ability tweets and Instagram posts that rival my emails and blog posts. Everything I write needs to ooze my voice and have traces of my insistence on quality writing.
And writing isn't as old-fashioned as other people might believe. Just look at how we're texting far more than we make calls to get our stories out there. So, tell your story through great writing.
Social platforms are a big part of the world that now largely lives online. They often act as vehicles to have conversations, consume news, express ideas and promote our stories. And I've realised that social media are so powerful in that they can influence your worldview and how you act because of the time you spend on these platforms and the ideas you take in.
Buzzfeed Publisher, Dao Nguyen, once summed up the impact of social media eloquently in an article published on Fast Company. "Traditionally, publishing meant owning a printing press and dealing with delivery trucks and newsstands. With digital media, getting your content to the public is all about your technical platform and your distribution plans on social networks."
There are two types of people. Those who appreciate works produced by other people and those who use inspiration from others to look within themselves in order to create their own. Of course, your level of skill in an endevour counts for a lot. But, when it comes to narrating your story through an impressive online presence, no one can do it better than you can.
So, my modus operandi is one that not only encourages appreciating art but also making the means to create your own art to exhibit. In this context, that means creating a blog site, using Instagram as a porfolio or have a YouTube channel for your web show and sharing with the world your perspective and unique insight.
And on the point of impacting the world, Gary Vaynerchuk's statement speaks volumes: "I wish it on all of you to know that [by chasing your goals], even though you are going after your own self-interests. By proxy, by sawdust, by process you're bringing so much good to the world. It's an incredibly intoxicating feeling."
True. So, contribute to the world. Exhibit what you've got.

Let's Eat Thai
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
Could you criticise a suburban Thai restaurant menu for being too similar to the carte at Spice I Am? "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're just that little bit too rad." No, not if you've got a single functioning tastebud in your head. Let's Eat is the rare Siamese outsider in the very Vietnamese neighbourhood of Illawarra Road. Just opposite Marrickville Station, there's little to distinguish it, the single tiled room seating maybe 30, with a TV on the wall and a rack of takeaway menus out the front. It's also not especially busy - not, at any rate, this particular Wednesday night, with nary a Thai nor a farang to be seen.
But don't be fooled; this is no mere dodgy Khao San Road knockoff or Phuket Town pretender. That's Phanissa Sricharoen behind the cash register, and Polawat Danphasukul is out the back rattling the pans. They're veterans both of Spice I Am, that Surry Hills stronghold of authentic southern Thai goodness, and once the food starts coming out, it's clear that they're keeping it real.
Pretty much all the Spice I Am favourites are here, and, dare we say it, they might even be better. Maybe it's just because they're nowhere near as busy or maybe Danphasukul is simply a chef to be reckoned with, but there's a lightness and brightness here, like you're seeing something in high-def for the first time, that really stands out. Take the yum pla krob: it's a salad where red onion, coriander chilli, lemongrass and mint are the substance of the thing rather than mere aromatics, and at Let's Eat the fried anchovies that are the focus of the dish have a buoyancy and a crispness that puts everyone else's versions in the shade. It's the same story with the hoy tod, a pancakey mix of fried mussels and beansprouts teamed with an intense chilli sauce: light, crisp, fluffy and clean. Nam khao tod here equates to cakes of rice fried to a dark brown, and made into a salad with shredded Thai pork sausage, peanuts, dried chilli and lots of mint, shallot and coriander. It's not served with the wedge of iceberg as it is at the Spice, but the flavours are bright and clear. For further excellence in pork, look no further than the kra prao moo grob, belly meat stir-fried with holy basil and chilli, all hot, sticky and spicy at once.
Probably the hottest dish in the Spice I Am menu is the jungle curry. They don't do one at Let's Eat, but they do list Tar Zan in the Jungle. Putting the name to one side, ahem, it's as rich in herbs and eggplant (both apple and pea varietals) and as pungent as any jungle curry, but deploys those flavours not in a wet dish but in a stir-fry of prawns that has got to be one of the must-eat numbers on the menu. And yes, Ralph, it tastes like burning. The other standout specialty here is the neu pad cha, beef chuck stir-fried with a very fragrant house-made chilli paste and wedges of apple eggplant. There's a little chew there, but the cooking is pretty deft, so it's still surprisingly tender, and is packed with a massive beefy flavour.
If you were to put them side by side, Spice I Am wins on range (they've got kanom jeen noodles, for one thing) and location (they're handy for Central and the Hollywood; Let's Eat is handy for, well, Marrickville), but the pluses for Let's Eat include the freshness of the cooking, vastly easier parking, noticeably lower prices and no queuing whatsoever. Unlike the Spice, they take Eftpos, Visa and Masters, there's usually at least one dessert on offer, they open Mondays and - wait for it - they deliver. Their delivery area doesn't extend much beyond Marrickville, Petersham and Earlwood, but if you live within striking distance, the prospect of urban hermitude can now seem that little bit more appealing.
So they're a lot like Spice I Am? Good luck to them. Nine-tenths of the Thai restaurants in this country cook off the same dumbed-down, dog-eared and coconut milk-stained photocopy. It's high time the blueprint was updated, and Phanissa and Polawat are the guys that are blazing the trail.

About Us
Successful development
Hofstetter Umwelttechnik was founded in 1975. The company worked at that time with partners, including landfill site operators, to develop degassing systems to overcome the problem of bad smells. Thanks to the company's gifted engineers, there followed a new generation of modern degassing plants for landfill sites, with the focus on combustion technology. Soon Hofstetter became the first port of call for customers seeking solutions for extracting and disposing of gasses from landfill sites.

Hi everyone! It's Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) here today with a card I made along with a video showing the process for creating this card. Today, I'm featuring Gerda Steiner Designs, On The Table along with the Hoppiness stamp set.
I created a scene card a couple weeks ago featuring the kitty and the puppy peering over a table at some cookies. While creating that card, I thought about the fence in the Hoppiness set. It's one of my favorite accessory pieces in a stamp set since it is super versatile. It's no different for this card as I used it for the dog to peer into a backyard during a cupcake party.

There's a few. My sisters had great taste in music. Two records I remember borrowing when I was really young were Hot Rocks by The Rolling Stones and Changesonebowie. My parents played a lot of Roger Miller's Golden Hits as well. As I grew up, the two that stuck out to me were Heartattack and Vine from Tom Waits and the Boss's Darkness on The Edge of Town. The first record I ever bought was The Clash's Give 'Em Enough Rope when I was 11. I had the chance to meet Mick Jones a little later and I never do this but I went up to him and said, "I was 11 years old when I had my paper route, and The Clash is the first record I ever bought. Would you please sign this for me. He looked at me and said, 'sure thing mate.'"
When I was 8 years old we moved to the house I grew up in. In that house, the girl who lived there before me was a teenager. She left a lot of albums, like The Rolling Stones, the Woodstock Soundtrack, a lot of David Bowie. So, I got a good head start on records because I claimed them for my own. In junior high, I was making extra money by babysitting, and I bought the first real record I didn't inherit from that teenager – Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedoes. I still love that album and look back it very fondly.
Because of a friend at the time, I got to see Springsteen in a college gymnasium on the Born To Run tour. To me, he was just another guy with a song on the radio. But the live show! Hoe-Lee Crap! I then went and got the Born To Run album and was taken in by the almost-rock-opera, cinematic scope of the entire set of nine songs. And the way "Jungleland" took you from a tinkling piano…to what felt like a full symphony…to Clarence's sax solo…and back to the tinkling piano. It really schooled me on what one could feel from the first track to the last of a truly great, well thought-out collection of vinyl.
My first vinyl purchase was More of the Monkees for a quarter when I was a kid. From there I listened to whatever I could get my hands on! I guess some records that really resonated were: Milton Nascimento's Courage (thanks mom), The Harder They Come soundtrack, the first Stones album, Monk's Dream and I swear, any time I hear James Booker I can't help but smile.
Record Store Day takes place April 13 with special releases and day-only vinyl. Find the full list of participating record stores in Colorado along with all the releases available for Record Store Day.

Condo Covered In Asbestos Dust in Virginia Beach, VA

Angelo, I AGREE. While the ASTM standard is useful, it puts the honus on the investigator to determine the "action level" for surfacial contamination. And as we all know, this largely depends on the responsible party's willingness to act in best interest of building occupants, and has no enforcement implications, leaving consultants in a bit of a lurch. I do tend to agree however, that any presence of Asbestos on surfaces is atypical of healthy building conditions. We ran into this at WTC when evaluating buildings and the NYCDEP used percentage by weight using PLM...a grossly inadequate evaluative method.

That's the reason why many people were not happy with what NYCDEP did at the WTC and the decisions on whether to clean or not clean.

text: Don't Worry About the Government December 4, 2016 in Cat Lady Matters, Film Matters, Music Matters, Snapshot I've been quiet because I don't want to preach to the choir and I don't want to be preached to, and right now all other posts seem frivolous, even I can see that. But this morning I'm up early after two consecutive weeks of late nights. My hair is up in curlers, my zit is smeared with a Vitamin E salve, and I'm drinking coffee while watching my neighborhood wake up through the bedroom window. I'm also writing the Westchester Cinema Club talk I'll give in a few hours about Mike Mills' jumpy, sweet-hearted "20th Century Women," an homage to his Depression Era-born mom and the late 70s cultural artifacts that created his artistic sensibility. The Talking Heads power through the film, and I'd almost forgotten how intersectional they were, how many rhythms pulsed through their albums and aesthetics. R&B and punk and tin drums and animal calls and clangs and whistles and pokey kid tunes: the perfect anthems for the kaleidoscope which was that decade, that bridge between Carter innocence and Reagan greed. I'm supposed to be writing, you dig, but really I'm dancing around my apartment with Anette Bening in Amelia Earhart hair, Greta Gerwig in ultraviolet stockings, cute-cute-cute Billy Crudup in Levis and a wide-open collar, and David Byrne wondering and wailing so compellingly that we're all kicking our limbs to the beat of his endearing confusion.

New Dehli [India], Nov 18 (ANI): Condemning the acts of Rajput Karni Sena, producers-association">Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) on Saturday stated that threatening the producers of upcoming epic drama film 'Padmavari,' is "not justified."
Speaking to ANI, T.P. Aggarwal, the president of IMPPA said, "Whatever the Rajput Karni Sena is doing by threatening the producers of the film in the media is not justified. They are showing the sword in media and our government is not taking any action, this is something surprising."
"If general public would have done the same then that very person would have been arrested immediately. Why the government and State government is silent, I don't know. No action has been taken against the people, who had broken the theatres. They should treat everybody likely," he added.
Earlier during the day, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, Rajput Karni Sena President told ANI, "We won't let 'Padmavati' release. We have given a call for Bharat Bandh on December 1."
Kalvi also said they are going to hold various programmes in different cities.
"Being the 37th descendent of Rani Padmavati, it would be unfortunate for us to see her as the lover of Alaudin Khilji. When, in January, Bhansali said he would show us the film before release, why is he not doing that? Now, we don't want that as the whole nation is waiting for the release to be stalled," he added.
The movie by Sanjay Leela Bhansali is based on the legend of Rani Padmini, a Hindu Rajput queen, mentioned in Padmavat, an Avadhi language epic poem written by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540.
The period drama, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, has been facing protests from various groups, including Shri Rajput Karni Sena.
The makers have already announced the film's release date as December 1. (ANI)

Visual Arts at RedFest 2018
"The very nature of art questions the status quo."
Project #001
The Arts Essential
RedFest 2018 introduces Project #001- a visual art exhibition which seeks to consider artists, educators and the broader arts community. It understands that the appreciation of art is about growing the collaborative enterprise of art collecting and art making.
On offer this year is an exhibition of local artwork, which will be available for purchase, and allow guests to make an investment in some incredible artworks.
The exhibition also includes a specially curated space by edgy, young investment art gallery, Kalashnikovv. "This gallery characterises the ever-changing landscape of Johannesburg. They have a unique collection of young artists who are voicing strong opinions and forging interest in the art market," says Tamara Osso, artist and educator. The gallery's fluid and hybrid nature – it's a commercial gallery as well as a project space for artists – makes it the ideal partner for Project #001. "We want to explore the fluidity of an art space and Kalashnikovv Gallery speaks to that sentiment," adds Osso.
For aspirant artists, a "making" space workshopped by Michael Graham Smith presents a wonderful opportunity to learn about the drawing process. "Michael is an excellent arts writer, educator and practicing artist. This rare combination means that his particular skill set allows access into an all-inclusive professional practice, one in which learners and the public can engage with him," explains Marisa Maré, Redhill School's Head of Department: Visual Arts. "We are privileged and excited that he will be teaching this year at the Project #001 space".
Project #001 will include other experimental activations, too, that will satisfy the most fervent of artistic souls.
"We decided to include a visual art component at Redfest this year because we understand that 'the arts' are not independent of one another. In fact, integrating the various arts in the same space is valuable because it encourages exchange between disciplines and opens up a wider community engagement. This collaborative process builds relationships which result in meaningful participation and quality art-making. These bonds should never be underestimated because they underpin social, economic and political development for future generations," says Maré.
"Redhill school is committed to 'innovating', 'educating' and 'contributing'. These are all 'doing words' which encourage action and participation. Project #001 understands that the arts are an essential part of an education which prides itself on being innovative, quality driven, empathetic and open. Education, professional practice and community are therefore interlinked and Redhill is excited to bring that energy into home soil," adds Tamara Osso.
Drawing Workshop Michael Graham Smith
Michael Graham Smith is an excellent arts writer, educator and practicing artist.
This rare combination means that his particular skill set allows access into an all-inclusive professional practice. One which learners and the public can engage him on and learn from. He easily accommodates novice or experienced artists in his workshop and we are privileged and excited that he will be teaching drawing skills this year at the Project #001 space.
The workshop is suited for persons 14 years or older. Bring your drawing materials, sketchbooks or visual journal.
- Date: 29 September from 10:00 – 12:30
- Cost: R120
- Venue: Future Focus Centre

I meander through materials and themes, working automatically, intuiting objects in space, off setting and pairing them with unexpected counterparts. The material 'things' range from detritus collected off the street to plant matter, to commodity objects, to industrial matter. I am concerned with chance, order and chaos and how, if I set up a designated space, the objects can begin to jostle up against each other in a sort of struggle for power.

I enjoy a visual ensemble that includes the figurative and the abstract, the organic and geometric, the obvious and the elusive. Put them all together and you get an eclectic remix where any one thing can be something else. A portrait can rise out of a still life, a still life can descend into a landscape, a finger is a toe and two legs, slightly parted, might be a whisper.
Nathan Vuuren
I seek to find a metaphor for the aftermath of excess that I perceive in the world. I want to create an imagined reality against which each of us may then measure our own. To me this creative process is more meaningful, in a way, than the reality from which it is drawn.
Maaike Bakker
Bakker's work predominantly explores themes of notation and ephemerality. Her practice also investigates limitations imposed by systems or structures and aims to determine at what point such structures may become excessive and irrelevant, ultimately exploring futility.

Workplace pension law is changing. Each and every UK employer will soon have a legal obligation to comply with the new automatic enrolment scheme.
Under the new laws, employers must automatically enrol certain workers into a qualifying workplace pension scheme and make contributions towards it.
This guide is designed to give employers information on preparing for automatic enrolment and identifying eligible jobholders working for you.
When will automatic enrolment pensions apply to my business?
The new duties will apply to you according to your 'staging date'. Your staging date is determined by the total number of employees in your PAYE scheme – based on information from HMRC held at 1st April 2012.
Visit The Pensions Regulator's interactive staging date tool to look it up – you'll need to have your PAYE scheme reference to hand.
Which employees does it apply to?
Before your staging date you will need to identify eligible and non-eligible workers.
Workers are defined as:
- Those who work under a contract of employment
- Have a contract to perform work or services personally and are not undertaking the work as part of their own business
Eligible jobholders who must be automatically enrolled are detailed as:
- Aged 22 to state pension age
- Working in the UK
- Earning above £9,440
One-person companies
If an individual is a director of a company and the company has no other employees, that individual is not generally deemed to be a worker. The company is therefore exempted from automatic enrolment registration.
Opting out
Workers who have been automatically enrolled have the right to 'opt out' of pension saving.
Key points of the 'opt out' policy include:
- Timescale - There is a set timescale within which jobholders can opt out of active pension scheme membership, known as the 'opt-out period'. Jobholders are required to opt out by giving notice to the employer.
- Notice - The opt-out notice should be provided to the jobholder by the pension scheme; acting as a safeguard to ensure the jobholder's decision is taken without influence from the employer.
- Refunds - When an employer receives an opt-out notice they must refund to the jobholder any contributions deducted from pay, within specific timescales. Equally, any money paid to the scheme by the employer must also be refunded.
An employer cannot opt out of their duty to automatically enrol eligible jobholders into an automatic enrolment scheme. Opting out only refers to a jobholder's right to opt out of ongoing pension scheme memberships.
What about the rest of my work force?
'Non-eligible jobholders' have a right to opt in and 'Entitled workers' have a right to join. All have to be informed and records kept.
Existing pension schemes and auto enrolment
In the event you have an existing scheme in use or one that can be adapted for automatic enrolment, it is best to ascertain whether it meets the minimum criteria.
The Pensions Regulator's qualifying DC schemes tool will help employers find out whether existing schemes can continue to be used.
Liaising with your workers
Employers are required by law to communicate with all workers (except those aged under 16 or 75 and over) explaining the process of automatic enrolment into a workplace pension and what it means to them.
Registration of eligible workers for automatic enrolment should be done within four months of an employer's staging date. Registration allows The Pensions Regulator to understand where employers are having problems in meeting their duties, to provide the right guidance.
The Government Gateway is the location to register securely and online. It is the employer's duty to complete registration, but they may authorise someone else to carry out the task on their behalf. For example, they may choose to use their experienced accountant that may already deal with their tax affairs and payroll scheme.
What can TaxAssist Accountants do for me?
At TaxAssist Accountants we are working together with Scottish Widows, one of the UK's leading pension providers, to create The TaxAssist Accountants Client Pension Scheme, which offers a host of features and benefits for small businesses that are normally only available for larger organisations.
This exclusive scheme is available only to TaxAssist Accountants clients and offers auto enrolment benefits such as competitive charges, flexible transfer and consolidation options and a choice of options upon retirement.

I am looking for a old newspaper that talks about great war island and any wars that happened on it.
I am looking for a 1945 Oct. Thursday newspaper in New York. Hellcats and USS Enterprise were articles. Also a soldier lifting his wife up a fence to kiss her. Not having any luck. If you can help in anyway I would be thankful.

Reeling from paper after paper that had most answers wrong, I took the stack of papers to my mentor teacher (who'd been teaching for thirty years) and I asked her what I should do.
"Tracy, did they know the material?" she asked.
"Well, I thought so," I told her. "They had it when we went through it in class."
"Then maybe it's the test."
ah....maybe it's the test.
This came to mind these past weeks over two public tiffs that some of our educational leaders are having with some of the people they are supposed to be serving.
First, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, speaking to state superintendents, commented:
...he found it "fascinating" that opponents include "white suburban moms who -- all of a sudden -- (discovered that) their child isn't as bright as they thought they were, and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were."You can read more on this here, and Teacher Sabrina has the best response I've read:
Think about that. Rather than listening to what parents want for their children, or considering what the evidence says kids do or don't need, they've decided that they want to pursue a certain course no matter what. And rather than ask themselves whether the backlash they've encountered is an indication that they should rethink their position, they have decided to artificially raise the bar for proficiency and hope the score drop changes people's minds. (That this will require people to doubt the evidence of their own eyes, as well as other tests and indicators they've been told to believe in for years, doesn't seem to trouble them at all.)...which brings me to the tiff closer to home, where Commissioner Chester commented to the Boston Globe:
This brought in this letter from a principal in Acton, as well as this blog post from the superintendent of Hopkinton:What worries Chester most, however, is that he is starting to hear counterproductive grumbling from school superintendents. They are telling him that requirements to implement new teacher evaluations and incorporate the new Common Core standards are "too much, too soon."
Perhaps, instead, it is time for the Commonwealth to begin to question if the Emperor is wearing any clothes, and if the policies of data-worship and accountability are just another doomed quick fix that will soon be relegated to the scrap heap of history, joining other failed educational policies such as New Math and open classrooms. While I do welcome many aspects of Massachusetts' new educator evaluation system including its increased emphasis on accountability, Massachusetts has embraced these notions as the solution to all our ills and has ignored the real issues that contribute to our performance gap –including poverty, hunger, school readiness, and the burdensome weight of hopelessness that these children feel when entering our classrooms. Holding a teacher from Lawrence individually accountable for their student's achievement is like holding the little Dutch boy accountable for the flood after the dyke failed....which brings me back to my test that first year teaching. As it happens, I was right--my students did know the material, as I had found from class discussion and more informal assessment. When I went back to the test I'd given them, I found that the way I had put the questions had thrown nearly all of them off.
It wasn't the students: it was the question.*
When we find that the federal Secretary of Education is blaming parents for not knowing their kids and not knowing their neighborhood schools; when the state Commissioner of Education is blaming superintendents for whining about doing their jobs; when, in short, the blame is falling just about anywhere but in the highest reaches of what is supposed to be an accountability system, it's time--past time, I'd say--to start questioning the basis of the system.
What are we basing our judgments on: what we know of our schools? what we know of our classrooms?
Or of baseless systems of curriculum and assessment pushed for political ends?
Sometimes the question is wrong.
*for those of you wondering: I threw out the test, after talking it over with my students. We cleared up how I'd confused them in the assessment, and they showed me what they really knew and could do in the next one. And I knew better next time.

Petition: Sign This To Stop Using Social Security Numbers As Medicare ID
We need 100,000 people to sign a petition to force the government to revisit why Social Security numbers are on Medicare cards. Please SHARE this post with your friends!
Social Security numbers are used as Medicare ID numbers and are printed on Medicare cards. Seniors are instructed to keep their Medicare cards on them, but since the cards contain their Social Security numbers they are increasing their risk of identity theft. States were required to remove Social Security numbers from driver's licenses in 2004 – it's 10 years later and it's time stop using Social Security numbers as Medicare ID numbers to help protect our seniors from identity theft.

Canadian activist/freelance journalist. I've lived cumulative ~3 years in Gaza, spent time in Lebanon and visited Syria 4 times since April 2014. Anti-zionist, anti-imperialist, pro-justice.
This article written by an independent observer on the ground in Syria got me thinking. It seems to me that many people are rather desperately looking for some progressive alternative to politics as is usually practiced in our nation and Canada. A new media organization with revolutionary potential could very well inspire and motivate these people. The next great idea that could satisfy this demand could be a radically organized independent media organization. It seems to me that many disaffected people in our two countries are ready to support such a venture.
This could be accomplished by people setting up their own media organization supported with low cost subscriptions that are gathered from millions of Americans and Canadians who want reports from independent on-the-ground observers of events instead of propaganda pieces from corporate media that justify Empire policies and actions. It seems to me that this project could be initiated by staff from the many alternative media websites coming together to pool their resources and technical abilities in support of a new North American independent media organization instead of using a Russian media network as this interview does.
The makeup of this new media organization would incorporate a new radical revolutionary perspective that would be oriented around a bottom-up authority structure. It seems to me that local groups of subscribers could be formed across the US and Canada, and they in turn would elect representatives that would have the authority to hire and fire staff. The organization could make considerable use of the internet to mediate decisions instead of face-to-face meetings.
Organizers would no doubt experience terrific opposition from corporate media and the ruling class, but this could be used to further raise the political consciousness of the brainwashed American and Canadian people.

Red Light Violations in New Jersey
This statute is the failure to observe a traffic signal. There are two levels to this statute:
- Failing to observe a traffic signal and,
- Failing to observe a traffic signal in a safe corridor, construction zone or a 65 MPH area.
Failing to observe the signal will normally cost a person $81 in New Jersey. But if a person ignores the signal in a safe corridor, construction zone, or in a 65 MPH zone it will cost them $136. It will also is a 2 points violation.
The most common example that falls under this statute is running a red light. In addition, saying the light was yellow does not constitute a defense under New Jersey law. Also, this statute also applies to pedestrians as well as drivers.

This is a magical time of year where we wait for the arrival of a very special man. He comes once a year to spread warmth and joy to all who encounter him. No it's not Father Christmas. Nor am I thinking of Jesus at this moment. Do you give up????
It's the CHESTNUT MAN! Every Saturday in December the Chestnut Man appears in our market with his oil drum. The drum has holes drilled in for ventilation and he lights a fire underneath and roasts chestnuts on top. If you have never eaten fresh roasted chestnuts then you are in for a treat. You have to cut a bit into the shell to let steam escape or they will jump around like popcorn! For £1.20 a bag you can buy a serving of hot roasted chestnuts. All you do is peel away the softened shell and munch your way to happiness.
The man knows me by name which should really say something. He also knows I ask for 2 bags because I don't want to share. Today when I went to the market my heart was beating in my chest for fear he would not be there. But he was! Hooray!
I love you Chestnut Man!!! You are one of the traditions that make Christmas special.

- Whether they need to be screened
- What is the optimal way to be tested
- How accurate are the tests
- Do they have PC
- They want more detailed information about cancer itself (PSA, grade, clinical stage)
- The prognostic significance of the information they receive
- The best treatment to prevent them from dying from the cancer
- The advantages and disadvantages of the treatments on offer
- The balance of risks when making management decisions
- Non-screen detected cases (SPCG-4 and PIVOT)
- Cohorts are no longer contemporary (SPCG-4 and PIVOT)
- Surveillance was watchful waiting
- Radiotherapy was not evaluated against other options
- Competing morbidity high and randomization low (PIVOT)
- Genomic diversity unknown, poor risk stratification
- 'Trade-off' insufficiently considered between oncological outcomes and patient-reported outcomes
- Effective but unacceptable over-detection and over-treatment by PSA testing/biopsy (ERSPC)
- Heavy contamination in control arm (PLCO)
The study consort diagram is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1- PROTECT study Consort diagram:
The main results included 1% disease-specific mortality in all arms, 10% all-cause mortality in all arms, and 50% reduction in metastasis in the radical treatment arms. In the AM arm, more than 50% had received treatment by 10 years, approximately 80% of the AM arm had no sign of progression, and 44% of AM patients avoided treatment.
Significant differences were demonstrated in the erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence rates between the arms, with the surgery arm having significantly higher rates of ED, and urinary incontinence, and the radiotherapy arm having significantly lower bowel function score. No significant difference was demonstrated in the anxiety and depression rates between the different arms.
To prevent one man from developing metastasis, 27 radical prostatectomies (RPs) had to be performed, or 33 radiotherapies. To prevent one man from developing clinical progression, 9 RPs needed to be performed. Hamdy also mentioned that economic evaluations of the PROTECT trial are currently being performed, and will be published soon.
The major points learned from the PROTECT study include:
- The PROTECT cohort represents patients with low and intermediate risk clinically localized disease
- The risk stratification at diagnosis was inaccurate and may be improved by pre-biopsy imaging, targeting, and genomics
- Patient-reported outcomes are like those reported by patients who receive modern treatments
- Patients over 65 years benefit from radical treatment
- The risk of death from PC over an average of 10 years is very low – 1%.
- Surgery and radiotherapy reduce the risk of cancer progression and spread, but cause bothersome urinary, sexual and bowel symptoms
- AM avoids treatment side effects, but there is increased risk of cancer progression and spread.
- The results are generalizable, and there is a place for each of the 3 treatment arms in disease management
- Longer follow-up (15-20 years) is essential in PROTECT to provide data about the 'trade-off' between the shorter-term effects of radical treatments, the risks of disease progression, and if any, the long-term benefits in cancer cure and survival.

Christ, the word made flesh, is born among us as one of us! Rejoice! (John 1:1-18)
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:12-14)
The electronic game Simon tests our memory skills by flashing a series of light sequences. Initially we observe and follow the sequences successfully. However as more flashes are added we lose track. Our ability to follow along and keep track is naturally limited. I offer this as a somewhat lame excuse for us not doing things in the right sequence all the time.
Our natural inclination towards sin can be attributed to our limited ability to do the right things in the right order. Our flesh causes us to fail miserably when attempting to follow God's commands. The law given through Moses therefore condemns us to the penalty of death. But salvation comes by grace and truth through Jesus Christ.
Let's celebrate Christ's birth and our rebirth through Him who saves!
Prayer: Dear God, we celebrate life. The life of Jesus Christ and our life through Him! Thank you for the gracious gift of your love! For You so loved the world that you gave our only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life! We celebrate today and forevermore! Amen.

jkOnTheRun sells out
The jokers at jkOnTheRun (http://www.jkontherun.com/2008/07/giga-omni-media.html) sold their blog to GigaOM (http://gigaom.com/2008/07/22/gigaom-acquires-jkontherun/). Why are they jokers? They aren't; I just couldn't think of a better nickname for the duo, like how I refer to the GottaBeMobile guys as "the mob". (And I recently sang the praises of the "definitive Joker" (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/07/dark-knight-delivers-definitive-joker.html) in the Dark knight).
Anyway, considering I know the name "Om Malik", owner of GigaOM, primarily from mentions (and, I think, comments) on jkOTR, the acquisition makes sense to me. It should work out quite nicely for those jokers, I mean, distinguished professional bloggers.

On July 1st DS Automobiles is making another significant step forward as a new brand. From this moment, DS Automobiles will solely be represented in the UK by a DS dedicated network of DS Stores and DS Salons in selected prominent locations to welcome prospective customers. The complete DS model range (DS 3, DS 3 CABRIO, DS 4, DS 4 CROSSBACK, DS 5 and DS 7 CROSSBACK) will now only be available for order through the new DS dedicated outlets.
This moment also signifies the separation for Citroën outlets which can no longer trade with customers on new DS products under their Citroën franchise contracts. There are however a selection of Citroën investors that have been granted DS franchise contracts, allowing them to be able to continue distributing DS models, through a DS Store or DS Salon outlet.
DS says this major step aims to ensure that all DS customers receive the full benefits of what DS Automobiles has to offer:
- A distinctive range of models, led by the all-new DS 7 CROSSBACK SUV which is the first model of the second-generation of DS models, and joined by a new model every year to form a six-model range, all of which include electrified versions
- A highly qualitative customer experience, delivered by DS Stores and DS Salons, the design of which has been inspired by French Boutique hotels to create a high end, bespoke, engaging experience
- A high end customer service delivered by DS dedicated staff, in Sales as well as After Sales, embodying fully the DS values and high standards, facilitated by bespoke training which includes an inmersion in Paris luxury sales and the DS design centre
- A set of exclusive services, through the DS ONLY YOU customer experience programme, designed to delight DS customers with a portfolio of service at every step of their journey with DS
- An exclusive used car programme – DS CERTIFIED, that provides the best conditioned pre-owned DS models with a set of premium services and high standards
The DS dedicated network will have 25 DS Stores and DS Salons accross the UK for 1st July, and is due to double outlets by the year's end, expanding further in 2019.
From the 1st July, the Citroën and DS brands and their franchised outlets will operate separately for the sales of their respective brand's new vehicles, distribution, servicing and in other respects to their franchise agreements.
For existing DS customers who purchased their car from a dual (Citroёn / DS) franchise outlet, that relationship continues initially through the solely Citroёn franchise for ongoing services in the short term, to permit servicing, warranty, maintenance, etc. and DS customers will be encouraged to engage with the new, solely DS franchise.
Currently there are now some 400 DS Stores and DS Salons across Europe with many more due to open by 2019, with trained DS Expert Advisors and DS Service Advisors on hand for customers in all.

The ban on abortion information
Margarete Stokowski
Der Spiegel
If you need an abortion in Germany, you won't find any information on your doctor's website, said Margarete Stokowski. Activists campaigned for months to overturn the law that bans all "advertising" of abortion services—which effectively prohibits doctors from releasing any information at all about the procedure. And after a long parliamentary debate on women's rights and self-determination, Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet last week offered a miserly compromise. Under the proposal, doctors and hospitals will be able to add the word "abortion" to the list of services they provide. But they will not be allowed to give any more information than that—not how long the procedure will last, for example, or what to expect in recovery. The legislature will now vote on the measure. It is yet another reflection of the hypocrisy surrounding abortion in Germany. Terminating a pregnancy here is technically still "a criminal offense," but it is tacitly allowed in the first trimester if the patient gets mandatory counseling. Yet the number of clinics that provide abortions has been steadily falling across the country, and German medical schools teach the procedure only perfunctorily or not at all. In some areas, women have to travel 100 miles to reach a provider and then brave a gaggle of protesters. At this rate, we'll soon be as restrictive as the U.S.
