In general, money management is a rather interesting and exciting topic. But it usually becomes interesting when you already have a tested trading strategy that gives a positive result.
So, we proceed from theory to practice. Consider the initial screen with a price chart.
We will not go into details of the calculation of certain indicators, because we are especially interested in their applicability in our money management system
Let's analyze the bottom panel in more detail:
- Balance: this is the amount of our cash currently.
- Funds: this is the number of our funds, taking into account open transactions.
Example: if an open transaction currently shows "+ $ 100", and our balance is $ 5000, then in the "funds" column we will see $ 5100.
If the transaction is closed with this profit, then the specified $ 100 will go into our "balance". And then already the "balance" will be equal to $ 5100
- Free margin: this is the number of funds available for opening transactions.
The fact is that a certain "collateral" is required to open a transaction. It is withheld from the account of the trader at the time the transaction is opened. Depending on your leverage and the volume of the transaction, the amount of this security may vary.
Let's look at an example:
As you can see, I opened a deal to sell GBP / USD at a price of 1.4222, the volume of which is 1 lot. To secure this transaction, $ 284.44 is deducted from my account. When closing a transaction (it doesn't matter – with profit or loss), this amount will be returned back to my account.
You can also see that the "free margin" at the moment is $ 4725.56. If we add our margin to this amount ("$ 284.44"), we get $ 5,010. This happened because my position is in profit ($ 10). As you know, the more profit your open positions are, the more new deals you can potentially provide. On the other hand, if your positions are at a loss, the ability to open new deals, on the contrary, will decrease.
The margin level column shows the% that your funds are in relation to the current margin. In our case, the funds are equal to $ 5010, and the margin is $ 284.44. Thus, 5010 / 284.44 = 17.6136 or 1761.36%.
Thus, when the "Margin Level" will approach 100%, it will mean that almost all of your available funds are "busy" to ensure open transactions. In money management, this doesn't help us much, because how to bring to a value close to 100% there will only be very gambling guys who do not particularly have a place in trading =)
So, what we need from all this business: we need only "balance" – it is from him that we will build on. "Why aren't the tools important?" – someone will ask. They are not important because they distract from important things: looking at the "means", you see the result of a transaction not yet open. If it will be in profit, the trader will rejoice. If at a loss – upset. It is simply not practical to look at the result of a transaction that has not yet been closed, because the effectiveness of the trading system consists only of closed transactions. Therefore, we discard all that is superfluous – only "balance", only hardcore.
It is simply not practical to look at the result of a transaction that has not yet been closed, because the effectiveness of the trading system consists only of closed transactions.
Now we'll work on the first rule of money management: identify the risk of the transaction.
Suppose we do not want to risk more than 3% in each transaction. How to achieve this?
To do this, we need to know what is:
- the cost of 1 point;
- the value of stop-loss;
The cost of a point is, in a simple way, how much you will earn if the price goes the right way by 1 point. Or how much you lose if you go 1 point against you. This value depends on the volume of your transaction (lot size).
I opened a deal for the sale of 1 lot at a price of 1.4222 (well, you remember). Now the price is around 1.4217.
Therefore, the price went in my direction 5 points: 1.4222 – 1.4217
My profit is $ 50
With a simple mathematical technique, we get that the cost of a point = $ 50/5 = $ 10
For a different transaction volume, the point value will be different. For example, if the transaction volume is 0.1 lots, then the value of the item will be $ 1. If the volume is 0.01 lots, then the value of the item will be $ 0.1, etc.
We proceed to the calculation of the stop loss.
So, if I know that the value of a pip for my volume = $ 10, then what will be the maximum stop loss?
We decided that we did not want to risk more than 3% of the total deposit in 1 transaction, i.e. in our case – no more than $ 150.
Thus, we obtain:
- Cost of 1 point = $ 10
- Maximum risk = $ 150
Max. stop loss = $ 150 / $ 10 = 15 points.
Therefore, any stop-loss that is less than 15 points fits well with our money management rules. If the stop loss is more than 15 points, you must skip the deal or reduce its volume.
If the amount of reasonable stop loss contradicts your risk management rules, you must skip the deal or reduce its volume.
For example, if in the current market conditions a reasonable stop loss is 30 points, and our maximum risk is $ 150 (it always amounts to 3% of the deposit), then first we need to calculate the desired point value:
Point value = $ 150 / $ 30 = $ 5
We remember with you that at an item cost of $ 10, the volume was 1 lot.
In order not to bother, we look at how many times the current value of an item is less than $ 10.
10 $ / 5 $ = 2. I.e. we need to reduce the transaction volume by 2 times, and this means to enter the volume of 0.5 lots instead of 1 lot.
If you didn't get such a beautiful value for the item (not $ 5, but, for example, $ 3.33), then you can do the same: $ 10 / $ 3.33 = 3. That is, the transaction volume of 1 lot needs to be reduced by 3 times – therefore, it will be equal to 0.3 lots.
The money management method, when we use the same% of the deposit for stop loss, is called "Fixed-fractional".
Thus, after receiving a stop loss, our deposit is 1000 – 30 = $ 970
In the next transaction, the maximum risk will not be $ 30, but $ 29.1, because our deposit has decreased, and 3% of it (in dollar terms) will become less.
The method allows you to competently approach the most important goal of trading – saving money.
The downside is that your stop-loss is triggered by a "larger" deposit, and you get a "take profit" from a smaller one. Let's look at an example:
Suppose our take profit is equal to stop loss (and you plan to earn money due to the good probability of profitable trades). We also assume that the first transaction is closed at a loss and the second transaction – at a profit.
The result of the second transaction: $ 970 + $ 29.1 = $ 999.1
Thus, according to the results of 2 transactions with the same parameters, it turns out that we are a bit in the red. However, for trading this is natural: if you think about it, its essence is based on the advantage: If, for example, you have 50/50 profitable and loss-making transactions (provided that stop-loss = take profit), then by the end you will be in the red due to the spread. Thus, you need to be "a little better" even to just stay put.
Consider also another money management method called " fixed proportional ".
Its essence is easier to explain with an example:
Suppose that with a deposit of $ 1,000, we traded in a volume of 1 lot. This 1 lot brought us $ 500 in profit, and we decide to increase our volume to 2 lots.
So, according to the fixed-proportional method, the next increase in the lot will happen only when each of these 2 lots will bring us $ 500.
Therefore: 2 * 500 = $ 1000 – our deposit should increase by so much that we increase the volume to 3 lots.
Suppose that this happened, and our deposit is now equal to 1500 + 1000 = $ 2500
For the next increase, we need each of the 3 lots to bring in $ 500 profit: 3 * 500 = 1500.
Therefore, we will increase the volume to 4 lots when there are 2500 + 1500 = $ 4000 on our account. Etc.
Regarding the choice of the amount of profit that each lot should bring, I am for simplicity. To take in a simple way half of your deposit amount is, in my opinion, a good idea. It is advisable not to make it too small.
Note that it is not necessary to trade any even number of lots. You can start with a volume of 0.3 lots, and when you reach the target amount of profit, increase it to 0.6, the next border will be a volume of 0.9 lots, etc. The point here is precisely in the progression – first the initial volume, then increase by 2 times, then by 3, etc.
To summarize, I will say this: if you are just starting, then do not worry about all these mathematical calculi, but rather, just fill your hand with trade. Take the system from the Internet, reject a lot of transactions on it, listen to your feelings. Like it or not? If not, we are looking for another trading system and do the same with it. I don't want to do this, because you don't seem to know where this will lead, and our brain wants certainty. So, I suggest you remember how you learned to walk – did you know in advance how to do this? Have you read any theory while walking? Did you take any courses? =) Do not be afraid, remember how you trusted yourself in childhood in research matters.
When you find "yours" (just by feeling), it makes sense to add a little money management – take a fixed% of the deposit and continue to bargain. There will be new thoughts – try to apply, test, look at the result. And when the result suits you, then you can screw all kinds of "fixed-proportional things" there. You will also need to look whether this is suitable for your system, your probability of profitable/loss-making transactions and your take-stop / stop value =) The main thing is to gradually and progressively, without rushing anywhere.
I hope the article was helpful. Good luck with trading!

Absolutely wonderful movie! Very colorful, magical with great performances, was totally engaged throughout the movie. Enjoyable for all ages, would totally see it again! Cant see how this movie could be a disapointment for anybody??
The music and dancing. Aladdin and Tabu were great, and Will Smith was fantastic. I have seen this movie about ten times. I can get enough.
One of the best movie presentations I've ever seen. Every from the graphics, the script, to the sound effects, to the story were done perfectly!
You can sure tell Will Smith is desperate to be in any movie with this so-called performance.
I loved it will smith was great!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful movie!!
Great movie!! Will Smith did an outstanding job--should be nominated for awards for is performance. Great production numbers and fantastic music.
Recommend this for everyone......all ages.
The movie was a poor representation of the original
Great movie!

Machine Learning at the Core of Automated Inspection and Predictive Maintenance
Reactive or corrective maintenance - correcting equipment after a fault has occurred - should be minimised, and more proactive forms of maintenance, preventing the failure to occur, should be the norm.
However, this is a difficult task. Preventive or planned maintenance, which is based on general reliability and life expectancy statistics available for an asset class, does not guarantee that the inspections carried out identify the specific piece of equipment which is going to fail next.
In contrast, predictive maintenance, which uses real-time asset condition monitoring, collecting data on equipment during operations to identify issues and predict the moment when the equipment is going to fail, is a promising area for the railway industry. It is recognised that not all asset types warrant this approach but the ability to determine the right moment when a piece of equipment should be repaired or replaced helps avoid incidents and downtime, while keeping maintenance frequency as low as possible.
Predictive maintenance would not be possible without the many sensors deployed by industries to capture real time information on equipment health and condition (vibration analysis, remote visual monitoring, infrared and acoustic analysis, temperature and pressure monitoring). Predictive maintenance would also not be possible without the means of making sense of all this data and turn it into predictive insight: this is where Machine Learning can come in.
Predictive machine learning software can learn which combination of factors lead to certain types of failure, finding complex underlying relationships, so when these factors are identified again, failure can be predicted. Combined with data mining techniques, models and tools can be developed that can assess asset health and predict remaining useful live.
Computer vision, or machine vision, involves using digital imaging systems to automatically extract, analyse and understanding information from images and other forms of multidimensional data. These techniques are gaining popularity in areas where repetitive visual inspections are used, for example facial recognition at airport security and social media apps. Applying machine vision technologies to railway inspection offers a way for the industry to reap huge benefits. Human inspectors are generally used to carry out visual and/or measured inspections of critical assets. This approach is time intensive, costly and, given its reliance on humans, can be inconsistent and prone to error. Making use of machine vison technology, able to capture detailed recordings of asset condition, provides on opportunity to improve safety for both staff and passengers, while driving down overall cost. Imaging techniques such as line and area scanning, thermal imaging and colour identification can be used together to identify fault irregularities leading to improved safety, reliability, and service.
There are several railway companies that are beginning to embrace these techniques to revolutionise how work is being carried out in these areas.
Machine vision for infrastructure inspection
In 2012 Network Rail introduced the plain line pattern recognition (PLPR) system to replace visual track inspection. The system uses a network of line scan, 3D and thermal imaging cameras to capture images of the railhead. The machine vision software can identify defects, that are then validated by an inspector.
The pattern recognition system is used alongside track geometry measurement and positioning systems to cross check the status of track components and their potential effects on rail support and relative position. The image below indicates a variance in track geometry that can be in part attributed to a clamped rail defect.
This system has improved safety for track workers, increased train path availability and has improved the quality and efficiency of track inspections.
There is a clear case for extending this technology to other infrastructure assets. The applications are most readily suited to assets where there are more homogenous and visible components with defined geometry relationships such as overhead line systems.
Predictive maintenance for rolling stock
Train manufacturers, like Hitachi and CRRC, are pushing for a digital revolution in train maintenance. Hitachi's new IEP trains are fitted with sensors that collect data from over 48,000 signals, real-time, to feed into a system that monitors condition and provides information to the relevant technical teams to support their decision making. CRRC have developed a machine-learning based prognostic and health management system (PHM) that has been applied to the high-speed railway network in China. This system can streamline operations and maintenance decisions making by combining data on physical characteristics, fault diagnostics, health assessments from various sources.
CRRC's system has a novel way of dealing with challenge of noise in the data without using huge amounts of computing power, improving accuracy and efficiency. By determining the probability density function (PDF), a way of calculating the relative likelihood of a variable falling between a particular range, it is possible to determine if the reading is a characteristic fault or not. The PDF values are compared with reference values and the Hellinger distance, that is the similarity between two probability distributions, calculated. The Hellinger distance then feeds into a Bayesian inference calculation, which is modified with each new piece of data it received to create a single figure to show the likelihood of the component being faulty.
Since introducing this system equipment maintenance costs have gone down by over 25% and the reported failure rate have decreased by around 75%. As these fleets spend more time in service machine learning techniques can be applied to historical data gathered to identify new combinations of signatures and trends that are precursors to failure.
The future
While these techniques are being embraced by some in rail, there are still huge opportunities to transform the way many aspects of inspection and maintenance are carried out, that are, in many cases, manual, repetitive and based on traditional, time-interval based methods.
Rolls Royce FLARE – a pair of 'snake' robots which are flexible enough to travel through an engine, like an endoscope, before collaborating to carrying out patch repairs to damaged thermal barrier coatings.
Radical innovations are being enabled by the use of machine learning in the world of robotics, improving their ability to navigate, adapt to surroundings, manipulate objects and control motion. The powerful combination of machine learning with robotics makes it possible to create 'find and fix' systems, that require limited human interaction. Examples of this can be found in the marine and automotive industries, as shown by the Rolls Royce FLARE, and are starting the be seen in the rail industry.
The motivation to employ machine learning techniques for automated inspection and predictive maintenance should be strong in the rail industry, where we have assets with long lifespans, that we try to keep in service for as long as possible. Improving maintenance and inspection can reduce operating costs and keep assets going for longer.
To fully exploit these emerging technologies, the rail industry needs to rethink its approach to data gathering and storage. A broad scope and high resolution are needed for fault trends and signatures to be identified. Another key challenge related to railway maintenance is the operation and management of the complex, interwoven schedules and plans that involve people, assets and access. This is a rich subject area in which exploiting machine learning applications and has the potential to resolve conflicts, achieve higher utilisation and ultimately provide a better service to the customer.
In the next article in this series, Justin Willett, Professional Lead Operation and Performance, and Giulia Lorenzini, Senior Partnerships and Grants Manager, will discuss the application of machine learning to planning, scheduling and timetabling.

Family planning allows individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their births. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility. A woman's ability to space and limit her pregnancies has a direct impact on her health and well-being as well as on the outcome of each pregnancy. Kids & Teens Resource Centre works with communities and other stakeholders to promote family planning in a culturally accepted and gender sensitive methods by launching out advocacy, community awareness etc.
To address these problems on infant and young child feeding practices, Kids & Teens Resource Centre aims to improve the nutritional status and health of children especially the under-three and consequently reduce infant and under-five mortality. Specifically, its objectives are to improve, protect and promote infant and young child feeding practices, increase political commitment at all levels, provide a supportive environment and ensure its sustainability. Kids & Teens Resource Centre promotes exclusive breastfeeding annually with other stakeholders.
1. Very Young Adolescent: Early adolescence marks a critical time of development for young people—including intense physical, hormonal, cognitive, and social changes, and the formation of one's identity. Very young adolescents (VYAs), those between the ages of 10 and 14, are acquiring information, developing attitudes, and experimenting with behaviors that will affect their present and future well-being. Both boys and girls are internalizing cultural messages of what it means to be a man or a woman, and how they process these messages will affect their behaviors and health outcomes for decades to come. Educating young people with the right information on their reproductive health is one of our core competencies. We are dedicated to ensuring that every young person has the right information about their reproductive health. We also offer youth friendly services to young people to create the appropriate environment to engage young people on their sexuality.
2. Peer Education: Supports the National Reproductive Health and HIV Prevention, Care and Support project through the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria. NYSC corps members are trained to stand as Peer Education Trainers and deployed to secondary schools to recruit and train 40 students as Peer Educators using the Peer Education approach in the school and meeting each student with minimum prevention package interventions.
3. Peer Education Plus: Out-of-school young people lose a valuable opportunity to learn about reproductive health and HIV in a stable classroom situation. They are vulnerable to misinformation from unreliable sources or may possibly never learn about the issues at all. While some parents fulfill their roles as educators by openly discussing these health concerns with their children, others avoid the topic because of embarrassment or lack of knowledge or skills. In some parts of the world, too, a growing number of out-of-school youth have lost their parents to AIDS. Kids & Teens Resource Centre encourages young people to stay in or return to school, provides out-of-school youth with accurate information on reproductive health and HIV issues and services, and offer them training on life building skills including communication and negotiation skills, provide them with appropriate reproductive health and HIV & AIDS services, tailored to meet their specific needs and also provide them with avenues to acquire vocational skills to generate incomes.
Young people, especially those who are sexually active, need access to a variety of reproductive health and HIV services. Frequently, youth seek services only when there is an acute illness or problem, such as a symptomatic sexually transmitted infection or pregnancy. Youth often avoid using HIV prevention and other services because of inconvenient hours or location, unfriendly staff, and lack of privacy and confidentiality. With the support of Ford Foundation, Kids & Teens Resource Centre designed a program to promote young people's access services, special efforts are also made to attract, serve, and retain young clients in secondary health facilities in Ondo State of Nigeria. Efforts are made to meet both the pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention needs of youth, even where clinical services are often separate.
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be one of the major causes of death in the world. This is unnecessary, since TB can be cured. TB is an infectious disease caused by the TB bacillus (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). This infection can result in serious damage to the lungs and other organs. The commonest symptoms in the early stages are coughing, fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite. Painfully, children run a high risk of TB infection when living in a house with someone who has untreated pulmonary TB, especially the children under five years old. A child's immune system is not fully developed yet and its coughing mechanism is less well developed. They might not cough much and the only symptoms may be a failure to thrive or that they develop an extra-pulmonary TB. As one of the leading civil society organizations on TB in Nigeria, Kids & Teens Resource Centre works closely with government and other stakeholders in Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control to conduct social mobilization, advocacy, communication, referral, community outreaches, rallies and campaigns and encourage the use of DOTS. Kids & Teens Resource Centre also offers comprehensive care and support to patients with MDR-TB with the support of Global Fund.
1. Joining the international body in the HIV & AIDS response, we engage in community outreaches, peer education, advocacy, referral, training, peer education plus, sexually transmitted infections management, condoms programming and HIV Counseling and Testing. 2. HIV counseling and testing services offer important benefits to all youth, regardless of their HIV status. Young people who test positive for HIV can access care and treatment services and be encouraged to adopt healthy behaviors that will enhance their quality of life and limit their risk of infecting others. Those who are not infected are counseled on making safe choices that will help them avoid infection in the future. Furthermore, counseling and testing provides an opportunity to offer a host of other services to youth. Youth can be encouraged to consider other issues related to sexual behavior, such as preventing sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Providers counsel young people on abstinence and provide appropriate contraception for those who are and wish to remain sexually active. Finally, the counseling and testing process can be a powerful tool for helping young people deal with peer pressure, adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Kids & Teens Resource Centre has a score of skilled counselors and testers and 20 mobile tents to offer services in a confidential manner during HCT outreaches.
To reduce the wide spread of malaria in Africa, we do activities around social mobilization, referral, advocacy, communication, community outreaches, promotion of LLITN, rallies and campaigns.

Sample text
Yanow (2003) has raised significant questions with respect to this schema that underscore the problematic and arbitrary nature of these categories. First, what are origins and how far back must one go to determine what they are? Second, in referring to "original peoples," how does one determine what or who they are and how far back in time must one go to determine this? Third, why are Blacks deemed to have their origins in racial groups, Hispanics in cultures or geographic origins, and others in original peoples?
An individual classified as one race at birth by his or her parent may be classified as another race at death, suggesting that race is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder (Hahn, 1992). A study of almost 118,000 live births in North Carolina in 2002 found that mothers reported more than 600 different versions of race on their children's birth certificates (Buescher, Gizlice, and Jones-Vessey, 2005). The most common designations were white, black, Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian. " Because North Carolina vital records must be coded to a single racial group for the purpose of reporting to the National Center for Health Statistics, all text entries for race were required to be converted into one of 10 categories: white, black, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian, Filipino, Other Asian or Pacific Islander, Other Entries, and not reported.
Behaviors, such as traditions, customs, and language, may also be critical to ethnic identity (Knight, Tein, Shell, and Roosa, 1993). Ethnic identity persists through the process of socialization into the specific culture (Oetting, Swaim, and Chiarella, 1998), a process known as enculturation (Knight, Tein, Shell, and Roosa, 1993). This process occurs with respect to both the dominant culture and the subgroup culture. Specific models have been developed to better understand and explain ethnic or racial identity within specific groups.

We want to hear from you
If you have questions or want to learn more about our programs, please get in touch.
In light of COVID-19, CES and our host agencies are committed to ensuring the safety and health of staff, students, stakeholders, and our community. Please Click Here to find out more information.
Schools and educators are increasingly struggling with challenging behavior and a lack of self-regulation in their very young students; but the challenge is not just to manage behavior in the classroom. CES services for preK through grade one are aimed at supporting districts to implement evidence-based best practices to ensure that children have a variety of opportunities to build the SEL competencies essential to successful engagement in classroom learning activities. We also help districts to create a work environment and educational climate that supports the social-emotional well-being of all staff, and most importantly teachers; so that they are fully engaged and able to model SEL competencies while providing effective support for children's skill development. We can also assist in modifying classroom environments, daily routines and schedules to integrate more play-based and child-directed independent learning opportunities.
We offer:
Professional Development for Administrators and Teachers: District and/or building level sessions to generated shared understanding of the SEL competencies and how they develop, the research evidence for efficacy and best practices, services to be provided, and facilitated discussion of shared challenges and goals tailored to address district needs and issues.
Classroom and Curriculum Consultation: Based on planning with district curriculum leaders and principals, consultation for individual teachers and/or teams to respond to specific concerns and adjust curriculum and instruction in order to integrate optimal supports for all children to build SEL competencies.
Coaching for Teachers/Modeling Supportive Practices: Coaching and classroom support for selected teachers or teams, for integrating new SEL knowledge into practice.
Child-focused Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation: Referrals of children identified as having SEL challenges, with the goal of building stronger school-family partnerships in order to improve academic and behavioral outcomes. Begins with classroom observations of the child, followed by work with teachers and parents/caregivers to help them be more successful at building on the child's strengths and meeting their needs. Referrals for mental health services for the child and/or family are provided as needed.
We are happy to offer schools and districts a free one-hour session to explore and/or begin planning around the district's needs; describe the menu of CES SEL services, answer questions; and identify the services that will best respond to a district's unique needs. This planning session can be followed by a proposal specifying services and costs. A district may decide to proceed with an individual service, or a set of services. Where needed, CES is also committed to assisting districts to the extent possible to locate and apply for funding resources for services.
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning
Massachusetts Pre-K and K Standards for SEL and APL, developed by Massachusetts Early Education and Care (EEC), and Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
In 2016, CES was contracted by MA EEC and DESE to develop a series of professional development curricula that introduced these new standards to over 700 early educators and caregivers.

Chennai theatres run out of tickets for Rajni's Sivaji
A day after tens of thousands of people mobbed movie theatres for tickets for Rajnikant's 100th film Sivaji: The Boss, sanity returned to the Tamil Nadu capital as all tickets were sold.regional-movies Updated: Jun 13, 2007 12:17 IST
Call it the lull after the storm. A day after tens of thousands of people mobbed movie theatres here for tickets to Rajnikant's 100th film Sivaji: The Boss, sanity returned to the Tamil Nadu capital on Monday.
There were no queues at any of the halls that had Sunday seen a mad frenzy for tickets.
"It is all quite today. There are no more tickets to be sold," a theatre owner said.
Police, who had been on their toes Sunday, were a relieved lot.
Nothing perhaps better illustrates the Rajnikant phenomenon more than a huge hoarding at Gemini flyover, the busiest crossing in the heart of Chennai. It shows the iconic superstar wearing a corduroy jacket and with a strutting posture.
In bold letters, the hoarding says "Boss".
At 57, Rajnikant is literally the boss of southern cinema. And his 100th film, significantly, is titled Sivaji: The Boss.
Rajnikant's real name is Sivaji Rao Gaekwad and his character in the film, which shares his real name, has been created keeping him in mind.
<b1>The actor, whose popularity has transcended India's boundaries, is more popular than many Bollywood superstars and arguably has as much mass appeal as Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan.
Sivaji is set for release in 18 halls across the capital June 15. A week ahead, the pictures of all other stars in the Tamil film industry had been wiped off the face of the city.
When bookings opened for the film Sunday, thousands returned disappointed as, hall owners say, people lapped up all the tickets in no time.
The AVM Rajeswari theatre, owned by the producers of Sivaji, had a message board saying the Rajnikant Fan Association had booked shows for three days in that hall.
Across the state, queues for ticket bookings began at about 6 a.m. and were "longer than the visa queues before the US consulate", a beat policemen said.
"Watching a Rajni film on its first day of release has become a part of my life, I have been doing it for 25 years," says Kumaresan, a Rajnikant fan.
Some theatres saw gatherings of more than 500 people for tickets and were forced to post additional security, fearing fights.
National award winning cinematographer KV Anand, who is the cinematographer of the film, has compared Rajni's films to Hollywood blockbusters like Superman and Spiderman.
For Rajnikant's movie to become a box-office delight, the story line does not matter, nor does the acting. It's Rajni as a sumo wrestler, Rajni as a dancer in
, Rajni in
and Rajni in
that people have come to watch for decades.
It is his style that fans throng to see, say film critics adding that it was the reason why Rajnikant was widely known as the "Style Mannath", or the King of Style.
Throwing a cigarette up before lighting it was typical Rajnikant style, which later hurt his films like Baba, as campaigns were run against him by parties like PMK on the issue of smoking and drinking.
Sivaji: The Boss will fulfil the desire of the viewers to see Rajnikant in different getups and hairdos. He is also said to sport blonde hair in the movie.
Actor Mohan, a Rajnikant fan, believes "Sivaji will be the mother of all Rajni movies".
Rajnikant has ruled the Tamil film industry for around 32 years.
He lives with his wife Latha and has two daughters - Aishwarya and Soundarya. His elder daughter Aishwarya is married to the well-known Tamil actor Dhanush.
His daughter Soundarya is making a film on him. Producer AV Saravanan has also made a movie about the making of Sivaji.

Human remains found in Civil War Navy submarine
The H.L. Hunley, a Confederate Navy submarine, which was the first ever to sink an enemy ship, may have been raised from the ocean floor in 2000. But just recently scientists were able to open the crank shank, which propelled the sub by hand.
After 100 years of sediment build-up, a tooth was found as well as textiles and a metal wrap around the hand shank to keep the crew from chafing their hands.
RELATED: Lessons still to be learned from Spanish Civil War
See Gallery
While the discovery teaches about how the crew worked, the unsolved mystery of the ship's third and final sinking is still unknown.
During the Civil War, the ship sank twice during test runs, killing 13 confederates.
The sub, then known as the Fish boat, was raised from the ocean and put back to work.
The 40 ft. Hunley attacked and sank the 205ft. USS Housatonic on its third voyage, but then sank itself and was lost at sea.
All eight crew members perished in the disappearance.

Hyaluronic Acid and Its Anti-Aging Benefits
Like many beauty ingredients, 'hyaluronic acid' sounds like some dangerous compound a mad scientist would use to set off explosions. You might even read the name on a moisturizer label and immediately pass it over for something that sounds more "normal" like olive oil.
Have no fear, though. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the body and has some very important functions. When it comes to skin, it's a total rock-star ingredient that hydrates and plumps to give a you a beautifully dewy, plump complexion. Get to know it better and, trust me, you'll be squinting at ingredients lists making sure it's on there every time.
What is Hyaluronic Acid and Why It Is Important For Your Skin
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in your skin and other areas of your body.
If you want to get science-y, HA is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a group of compounds that make up components of connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid for skin (GAGs) are polysaccharides (carbohydrates) that function to nourish collagen and elastin in the body.
When GAGs are combined with water in the skin, they form a gel-like substance (like Jell-O) that fills itself up into the spaces between collagen and elastin fibers and gives them turgidity, or bounce (again, think of how bouncy Jell-O is).
Basically, GAGs like hyaluronic acid keep skin plump and hydrated, giving it that velvety-soft, plush and smooth appearance we all adore in babies.
Hyaluronic acid is a GAG that can be found naturally in the body in most cells and especially in areas like the joints (cushioning them and keeping them lubricated), the skin (where it's most abundant—your skin contains 50% of all the HA found in the body.) and the eyes (giving eyeballs their shape).
HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, or 6 liters of water in 1 gram of HA. Wow!
HA has a half-life (the length of time it takes for it to get broken down and excreted) of only one day in the skin, meaning it has to be renewed and restored often. You need it if you want skin to look youthful, hydrated and soft, not to mention if you want your joints to be lubricated and working properly without any pain or discomfort. And, well, who doesn't want that?
The Role of Hyaluronic Acid in the Skin
Unlike your other organs, your skin doesn't seem like such a big mystery. After all, we see it every single day. But there's much more to your skin than meets the eye.
Your skin comprises three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat. For our purposes, the dermis is the layer we'll take a closer look at. The dermis (the middle layer of the skin) is the tier that contains collagen, elastin and GAGs (most notably hyaluronic acid). It contains nerve fibers and capillaries, which allow nutrients and oxygen in the blood to pass into cells. The dermis also contains hair follicles and sweat glands, and it helps regulate body temperature.
The dermis is primarily made up of 75-80% collagen and the rest is elastin and hyaluronic acid, fat cells, fibroblasts (collagen production factories) and blood vessels.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body that gives skin its structure and keeps it firm. There are 27 different types of collagen in the body and type 1 makes up 90% of skin collagen.
Elastin is another protein in the dermis that gives skin its stretching ability. It's essentially what allows skin to bounce back when you pinch and pull at it, like a rubber band. Without elastin, skin would lose its firmness and become saggy, just like a rubber band that's been stretched too much.
What does hyaluronic acid do?
As previously mentioned, hyaluronic acid fills out the free spaces between the collagen and elastin fibers to keep collagen flexible (on its own collagen doesn't have much stretch). HA acts as a nourishing agent to keep collagen limber and pliable.
Hyaluronic Acid Benefits
Hyaluronic acid possesses the remarkable ability to bind and retain water molecules and help prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TWL). TWL is the loss of moisture that occurs when water passes from the dermis up to the epidermis and evaporates. It can lead to dryness and more pronounced wrinkles and fine lines.
In addition to hydration and lubrication, hyaluronic acid also takes part in certain aspects of tissue repair by activating inflammatory cells in order to hasten immune response. Basically, it's part of the tissue-healing process in case of injury.
Together, collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are like the Three Musketeers (if aging skin was Cardinal Richelieu). They work together to ensure that skin stays well-nourished, plump and firm.
Hyaluronic acid production declines when we age
Of course, there's a catch: as with collagen and elastin, hyaluronic acid diminishes as we age, particularly after age 40. If it didn't, we'd have baby-smooth skin for life!
As HA becomes less abundant in the skin, it leads to more TWL, dryness and wrinkle formation. Skin becomes etched with fine lines around the eye area and forehead, with deeper folds noticeable around the mouth and between the brows.
Decline of hyaluronic acid leads to
1. decreased ability for skin to hold water and support collagen and elastin
2. dryer, sunken look
3. increased joint friction
How to Replenish Hyaluronic Acid (the Right Way)
There is a difference between hyaluronic acid for skin vs hyaluronic acid for joints.
Lets talk about hyaluronic acid for face.
There are two ways to replenish hyaluronic acid in the skin: through topical application and through oral supplements. Topical administration of HA is the most common, as many skincare companies include it in their products, particularly in moisturizers and serums.
But is topical HA better than HA in supplement form? The truth is, for best results, you need both.
Topical Treatments: Hyaluronic Acid Serums, Creams and Injections
Topical HA helps skin retain moisture to keep it soft and plump, and maintain the elasticity that allows it to snap back when pulled, hence preventing sagging. Research has shown time and again that topical HA found in creams or serums is an effective treatment for wrinkles in aging skin.
The most commonly known hyaluronic topical applications include:
1. Hyaluronic acid cream
2. Hyaluronic acid serum
3. Hyaluronic acid moisturizer
4. Hyaluronic acid injections.
It turns out there are 2 types of HA:
1. High-molecular-weight HA and
2. Low-molecular-weight HA.
In one study, 76 female participants between 30 and 60 applied an HA-formulated cream to their wrinkled skin twice a day for 60 days. It was noted that the HA-formulated cream (as opposed to a placebo) provided "significant improvement in skin hydration and overall elasticity."
However, both high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight HA have their perks and are necessary for an overall improvement in skin condition.
Now, where high-molecular-weight HA is concerned, the benefits are in the overall hydration of skin. High-molecular-weight HA forms a protective layer on the surface of the skin to retain moisture and prevent water loss. It's a humectant, meaning it preserves moisture and actually attracts moisture from the dermis to the epidermis and from the surrounding environment.
When it comes to low-molecular-weight HA, its benefits lie in the fact that it is able to penetrate deep into the dermis where it can tackle deeper wrinkles.
Low-molecular-weight HA was found to have a significant impact on "reduction of wrinkle depth." This was believed to be a result of the fact that low-molecular weight HA penetrates deeper into the dermis layer of skin.
In one study, 33 women with the average age of approximately 45 years applied low-molecular-weight HA lotion, cream and serum around the eye area for a period of eight weeks. At its conclusion, the study showed that "a statistically significant moisturizing effect was observed." In addition, skin roughness and skin elasticity were also improved.
This study further proved that the smaller the molecular weight of HA, the better penetration and hydration.
Dermatologists often use injections and fillers made with low-molecular-hyaluronic acids that can help fill up the empty spaces inside the dermis and lift sagging skin.
Hyaluronic Acid Supplements
Of course topical treatments are all well and good, but what about HA supplements? They, too, are wunderkinds in treating signs of aging skin, that work on your whole body and not just on one area of your skin, for example, your face.
While topical HA targets only the skin from the outside (epidermis), supplements can help restore the HA in our skin and entire bodies.
Research has shown that ingested HA can help moisturize the skin and lubricate joints. In one randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, participants with dry skin were given 240mg of HA for six weeks. Results showed that there were improvements of dry skin throughout the face and body, and "significant increase of skin moisture."
Sources of Hyaluronic Acid (and Which Is Best)
Hyaluronic acid can be derived either from chicken or rooster combs or from Streptococcus bacterial fermentation. Because HA occurs naturally in the body, there's usually no danger of an allergic reaction. Still, for those who want the most effective HA supplementation (and are vegan, vegetarian and prefer animal-friendly products), the best option is HA that's 100% plant-derived.
Best Hyaluronic Acid
'Hyabest' is one of the best types of non-animal-derived oral hyaluronic acids with proven science standing firmly behind it. In a study with 42 female participants (20 in the HA group; 22 in the placebo group) who were concerned about skin dryness, sagging and crow's feet, it was found that skin moisture content in the HA group was increased significantly as opposed to the placebo group. Wrinkle volume reduction was also significant in the HA group.
Another study found similar results for sixty Japanese male and female participants aged 22-59 years with crow's feet. Following eight weeks of regular ingestion of the Hyabest supplement, the HA group showed "significantly diminished wrinkles" as compared to the placebo group. What's more, another study found that Hyabest also relieved pain in the knees of people suffering from osteoarthritis. Kind of makes you want to run out and buy a bunch, right? I don't blame you -- I'm in the same boat!
Taut Premium Collagen Advanced Formula
If you know me, you know I'm first, a supplement snob, and second, I'm a major fan of Taut's Premium Collagen Advanced Formula. This extraordinary liquid supplement contains hyaluronic acid to help you truly get the best skin possible. Taut's hyaluronic acid is sourced from clinically-tested Hyabest HA, which provides the best results. With this daily shot of skin-loving nutrients, I'm always sure my skin is at it's 100% potential!
As I mentioned before, HA will reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity and increase skin moisture to have your skin looking smoother than a baby's bottom. These supplements help you look and feel it (trust me—even my mom noticed!).
Taut's Premium Collagen Advanced Formula also contains another personal favorite and must-have: marine hydrolyzed collagen (potent concentration 13,000mg) to promote firmness. It works in synergy with elastin to promote elasticity, vitamin C to support collagen and grape seed extract to protect against free radical damage (unstable atoms that damage cells all over the body and lead to wrinkling, hyper-pigmentation and sagging).
This delicious orange-y drink is like a weapon against pretty much all of your skin concerns. With regular use, your skin will look radiant, fresh and, well, taut. No more sagging jowls or deep lines etched into your skin screaming your age to everyone in the vicinity. And it can help improve your joints too!

4 Harmless Pranks to Liven Up Your Next Road Trip (and 2 Friendship-Ending Ones)
Road trips are the nation's favorite way to get off the couch and sit down somewhere else for extended periods of time without feeling guilty. Every summer, I take a road trip with my best friend. We go from state to state, checking out a concert in each place we stop, until our summer allowance dries up. It easily ends up being the highlight of my summer: getting to hear new music, meet new people, and get a good feel for the nightlife away from home – it's always different in each place we stop!
Generally, I hate car rides, as a lot of people do, but there's always fun to be found in planning the absolute worst ways to annoy your fellow passengers. If you're a prankster, this article might prove useful. For the rest of you, here are some things to watch out for while on the open road.

The Switcheroo
One for the most fundamental tools for keeping sane on long drives is music. If you're lucky, the people you're stuck in the car with listen to similar music — if not, there are always alternatives. For example, swapping out all the CDs in the car with mixtapes featuring some of the most universally hated bands all time. Darude's "Sandstorm"? Tolerable for a minute or two, right? Why not fill a whole disc with copies of that song? Justin Bieber remixed with Nickelback? Instant headache.
Personally, I like to make a playlist of generally agreeable songs with Rick Astley somewhere in the middle, but feel free to put your own flair on this classic formula. Remember, country music is a good fallback. Nobody likes country.

Fake Parking Ticket
This prank is fairly self-explanatory. Search online for a parking ticket template, fill it in with all the information you need, and jam it between the windshield and the wiper. If you're lucky enough, you'll find a template for the region you're in. (Extra points if you have a government envelope lying around from your last parking ticket.)
Be sneaky — try to leave a breadcrumb of doubt with the driver about their parking job at the last couple stops. If all your plotting works out, you'll have one beautiful crescendo of shock, bewilderment and blinding anger. Be sure to have something planned to calm the driver down afterwards, or the rest of the ride will be a silent and awkward one. Maybe draw a heart around the price listed at the bottom!

Hubcap Rattler
Assuming the car you're riding in has hubcaps (I won't judge), you only really need one other ingredient: Rocks. Naturally, you'd never want to damage your ride home, which is why this is perfect. If you're capable of dislodging the front of the hubcap, try putting a pair of small rocks in the housing and closing it back up. This won't damage the car at all, (probably – we won't be held liable, though) but it'll sure sound like something's wrong. Do this to either the driver's side or the back tire on the opposite side and you're guaranteed to get a reaction. A perfect time to do this is while stopped for gas, or on a bathroom break.

Lip Sync for 7 Straight Hours (True Test of Patience)
Not much needs to be said about this prank. Just watch, and you'll know what to do.

ISE 2017- LINDY Round Up
The biggest yearly event in the AV industry calendar, Integrated Systems Europe took place in Amsterdam last week (7-10th Feb).
Every day was showtime at ISE 2017, and our team were based at stand 8-H310, where they explained and demonstrated cutting edge connectivity & advanced AV solutions.
LINDY's extensive program of presentations, lectures and case studies were exceptionally well received and well attended, with the UK's Chris Shipley and LINDY Germany's Axel Kerber demonstrating distribution technologies, HDBaseT and long distance connectivity solutions on a daily basis.
LINDY's main product focus this year was long distance extender solutions and our Modular Matrix Systems. Both ranges generated a lot of interest and as always, our expert staff were on hand to answer any queries in any language!
Our ever popular Apertivo Italiano is becoming somewhat of a yearly 'Must Visit' for some attendees.
Our visitors enjoyed 20 month matured Grana Padano cheese, San Daniele ham and Milano Salami as they relaxed with a glass of wine at the end of the day – just perfect!
There are also many 'Fringe' events outside of the show, such the InAVation Awards at the Gashouder in Amsterdam where our good friends at Midwich won the 'Distributor of the Year' award in recognition of their staff expertise and all round exceptional service.
ISE is also the perfect base for 'networking' and our stand attracted many visitors from every continent.
All were given an amazing LINDY welcome by our hardworking teams who offered connectivity advice and technical assistance, along with an almost never ending flow of refreshments and good cheer!
We thought this years event was fantastic – one of the best yet and we would like to thank those of you that visited us and were part of our ISE 2017 experience!
We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam in 2018 for yet another amazing event.

Special Session: Malcom Glenn, Strategic Partnerships Manager, Uber Corporation (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Uber was founded in San Francisco in 2009 and is now in over 450 cities in more than 70 countries.
- Uber now has more than 1 million drivers globally and 5 million trips globally.
- Their smartphone app connects dirver-partners and riders. In cities where Uber operates, you can use your rider app to request a ride. When a nearby driver-partner accepts your request, your app displays an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the driver-partner making their way to the pickup location. The app notifies you when the driver-partner is about to arrive.
- The app also provides info about the driver-partner with whom you will ride, including first name, vehicle type, and license plate number, which helps the two people connect at the pickup location.
- The fare is cashless, automatically calculated and charged to your credit card with no need to pay right then and there and no tip is expected.
- The app also asks you to rate your driver from 1-5 stars and vice versa for the driver's rating of you as a rider.
- The average waiting time is less than 5 minutes in most cities.
- There is transparency with up-front rate quotes, the option to split the fare with other riders, and to share your ETA with others.
- Uber's mission is reliable transportation everywhere for everyone.
- Uber has three goals for their D/HOH driver-partners:
- accessibility
- technical solutions that support everyone's ability to easily move around their communities
- work with the D/HOH community to refine and innovate products based on their feedback
- There are now thousands of D/HOH driver-partners in the U.S, who provide more rides per month on average than their hearing driver-partners. These D/HOH driver-partners have collectively earned about $10 million.
- The app includes the following features for D/HOH driver-partners:
- signals a new trip request with a flashing light in addition to the existing audio notification
- the option to call a D/HOH driver is turned off; riders are instead given only the ability to text if they need to provide special instructions for pickup
- an extra prompt to let riders know their driver is D/HOH
- There have been situations where the driver is deaf and the passenger is blind and it works, thanks to technology.
- We received the Ruderman Family Foundation Award for "Sound Business Sense" for this technology and how it helps D/HOH driver-partners.
- Deaf feature activations in the U.S. now total about 13,010 (that number includes D/HOH, ESL, those who just prefer the flashing notification, and others) and 4,575 new drivers who signed up and activated the feature.
- Safety is important to us; we substitute phone numbers for anonymity and we provide commercial liability insurance.
- Zainab asked about feedback the NAD had shared with Uber two weeks prior in that the flashing light notification is sometimes hard to see on sunny days and that D/HOH driver-partners would like to see vibration added as well and the need for a prompt to be sent to Uber drivers letting them know the passenger is D/HOH and not to call that passenger.
- Malcom responded that yes, he followed up after that phone conversation and vibration will be added soon and they are working on a D/HOH passenger notification to drivers, which will be deployed soon.
- Sonny asked about improvements to make the app simpler for people with cognitive disabilities.
- Malcom responded that they have heard the same feedback from others, acknowledging that the app is complicated, and are working on a new, simpler version of the app. Uber hopes it will solve those issues.
- Sonny asked if there is a way to add a question mark button to explain features so that users are not afraid of accidentally getting billed.
- Malcom responded that is the exact reason they are working on the simpler app version. You will be asked twice if you are billed.
- Art asked if a passenger is a senior citizen or blind, will the driver get out to assist?
- Malcom responded that they have been asked that same question many times. Many driver-partners are very willing to get out and assist. There is a new feature for blind passengers to let the driver know ahead of time if they need assistance.
- Art asked if Uber will accept email requests since he does not own a smartphone.
- Malcom responded that they have not yet figured out a non-smartphone solution but they did add something called Uber Central where another person can request a ride for you on their smartphone. You sign up through the Uber website and get billed on your account there.
- Sonny pointed out that Uber driver-partners need to be trained for how to let deafblind passengers know s/he is there at the pickup location.
- Malcom responded that he will share that feedback with his Uber colleagues.
- Ron commented that Uber drivers keep calling him, which is not an effective way to reach him, and he inquired about the cost of tips.
- Malcom responded that tips are not expected. You can tip in cash but the automatic e-charge does not include tip.
- Ron commented that he once got Uber Black, which was more costly, then he later learned about the different options for Uber cars.
- Malcom responded that there is indeed a lot of variety in the Uber car options and it varies from city to city. That's why we are hoping that the simpler app will eliminate confusion. Uber X tends to be more affordable and Uber Black is for those who wants a luxurious experience. Also, the ride share option means fewer cars, which is better for the environment.
- Michele commented that she rode Uber for the very first time last Friday and it was an interesting experience. The driver was very helpful in folding her wheelchair and communicating in gestures with her but she is wondering about other wheelchair users. She asked whether there is a way to press "Uber wheelchair access" if needed.
- Malcom responded that Uber is piloting several models in 12 different cities across the country to determine which wheelchair accessible vehicle options best meet the needs of our riders and driver-partners. These pilots range from making our technology available to wheelchair accessible taxis to providing wheelchair accessible options through partnerships with commercial providers in a few cities.
- Tayler thanked Malcom for coming and is impressed with Uber's commitment to accessibility. We appreciate it and hope that others will follow Uber's example. He inquired whether Uber is considering hiring deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, and deaf with mobile disabilities, among others, for employment at headquarters.
- Malcom responded that yes, they are looking to recruit.
- Neal commented that the new interface does not give full information about surge charges. The general cost will be shown up front but there are no specifics about surge charges up front. he also commented that on his Uber ride to Gallaudet for this meeting, his driver was hard of hearing, from Colombia. This man had been hit by a car and that was how he lost his hearing.
- Malcom responded that there is no such thing as a "normal fare." The price is based on supply and demand. You pay what you are quoted up front, unless you change your mind about the drop-off location.
- Art asked if Uber has the ability to take him long-distance.
- Malcom responded that that's a discussion to have with the driver as to whether they have the time to do long-distance trips but it is definitely doable. The driver would profit from long trips so it is up to them to accept the request or not.
- Sonny added that Uber could help foster independence for deafblind passengers not needing to rely on friends to drive them everywhere.
- Malcom responded that Uber can bring you anywhere, no limit except across the ocean!
- Bernie added that his son flew to NYC but his flight back was cancelled. He could not miss his daughter's birthday so he Ubered back to Maryland without a problem and at a reasonable cost.
- Malcom will share his PowerPoint with us.
Approval of Minutes
- The minutes for the September 7, 2016 meeting stands as read with amendments correcting the "November 2016" error and all references to Mary Lynn Lally as "Mary Ann."
Officers' Reports:
Chair's Report (Claude)
- Claude thanked Tayler for taking Zainab's place in writing up the meeting minutes for last month's meeting.
- Art commented that he had a hard time reading Claude's email since the message was truncated. Claude could send him a clean copy separately but then he would not be able to see when others respond back in the main thread. We cannot leave him out of the loop. Neal suggested creating a DHHCAN listserv and everyone liked the idea. Tayler will set it up.
- Claude asked Tayler and Zainab how things are going with the website and they both responded that all is well. The website looks good and the minutes have been posted on there.
- Tayler added that at the last meeting, some people did not even know the website existed. Claude thanked Tayler and Zainab for their work in adding the minutes to the website.
- Claude commented that at the last meeting, a motion was made based on his recommendation. The motion specified effective July while he was originally thinking effective immediately but the members were right since they do need to serve notice in writing to the organizations. The motion is that active organizations must not only pay dues but attend regular meetings at least three times a year. It is now a proposed bylaws revision, which has been left on the table for a month for sufficient opportunity to comment, and we can now formally act on this motion during the Old Business section.
- Mary Lynn added that member organizations must also have 51% deaf-majority Boards. Claude responded that we will set up criteria for member organizations. The makeup of organizations do change over time so we do need to periodically review.
- Sonny added that he does not want to open a can of worms but how does ASDC qualify since most of their Board are hearing parents. Claude responded that ASDC is not a member anymore.
- Mary Lynn added that NBDA should be invited to join us as a member and Bernie said he will gladly check with them.
- Claude added that Tom is thinking of stepping down from DHHCAN and to let him know if any of you are interested in becoming Treasurer. Sonny will take Tom's place as DSA representative but we do still need a Treasurer. Tom will confirm his plans when he returns from vacation.
- Mary Lynn added that she has been part of DHHCAN for four years and she is now stepping down from DHHCAN. Ron might replace her as GUAA representative. Claude thanked her for her years of service.
Vice Chair's Report (Bernie)
- Bernie appreciated the opportunity to serve as substitute Chair last month.
- DCBDA will celebrate their 35th anniversary at a Gala on Saturday, October 29, at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. If you're interested, email firstname.lastname@example.com
Secretary's Report (Zainab)
- Zainab thanked Tayler for taking minutes in her absence at last month's meeting. All of the minutes that she has written since her service as Secretary have been posted on the DHHCAN website.
Treasurer's Report (Tom)
- not present
Review and Discussion of the Document Submitted to the Two Presidential Campaigns:
- Claude sent all nineteen signatory organizations a copy of what we sent to the Clinton/Trump campaigns. He will follow up with them and will keep us posted. Please feel free to share with your members.
- Claude feels that the document is very much improved from the 2008 version. The current version now has 75 recommendations this time around. He added that Zainab did a great job with the Civil Rights Protection & Enforcement section, which touched on many areas not covered in the other main subject matter topics.
Committee Reports
- From now on, committee reports will be organized based on the seven subject matter areas from the presidential recommendations we submitted. The recommendations will be our blueprint and we need to make sure we follow up on those. The drafting leader of each group will report on their respective areas each month.
- Committee Reports will be tabled to next month in the interest of time.
Old Business
- Mary Lynn moved that we proceed on last months' motion in regard to the new attendance policy. Claude clarified that it will not apply to the organizational partners but to the voting members.
- Claude then took a vote on the motion. Seven in favor, the motion passed.
- Claude and Zainab will re-word the motion appropriately for the bylaws and then will share the proposed bylaws revision with everyone along with the entire body of the bylaws.
New Business
- Sonny shared that there is a new issue in regard to ACE. The FCC keeps cutting the rates and the VRS providers have no money for R&D and innovation. The FCC ended its contract with VTCSecure, NTID, and Gallaudet for ACE development. The FCC is now exploring the possibility of a consortium and wants consumers to take up where they have left off. The consumer advocacy organizations (NAD, TDI, and others) along with Gallaudet and NTID are considering their options for this potential consortium. The FCC has indicated that there is no money to fund this consortium. At the iTRS Advisory Council, it was revealed that there is $11 million left over in the TRS Fund so Sonny feels there is conflicting information here and wants to know whether DHHCAN should act on this.
- Zainab commented that we are waiting for more information about the consortium from Christian Vogler and that it would be prudent to wait until we obtain that information before proceeding. She further added that the iTRS Advisory Council will be having a special meeting next month about the rates and that it would be prudent to wait for the outcome of that meeting. She suggested tabling this to next month.
- Claude added that he thinks the consortium would be valuable.
- Zainab concurred that the consortium would be valuable with consumers/advocacy organizations finally being part of the decision-making but we do need more information first.
- Sonny asked about inviting Christian Vorgler to next month's meeting. Claude responded that it depends on if the two campaigns accept our invitation to come to the November meeting.
- Eric shared an update about the Google grant project, which is in regard to speech-to-text software that crowdsources corrections. You can be a caption reader or a caption corrector. Words that the program does not have confidence in will show up in a different color. Caption correctors can manually enter corrections or select from alternative options that the program suggests. They are looking for beta testers. It works on many different browsers on tablets, computers, and smartphones. If you are interested, please contact Eric. He will share a blurb to share with DHHCAN members.
- Zainab asked what the timeline is for beta testing. Eric responded that beta testing will start in two weeks but officially will kick off in January for as long as it takes.
- Lise asked if this is an app we download. Eric responded that no, it is through your web browser.
- Sonny commented that tonight at 8:30 Eastern is the #SignDebate hosted by SignVote. He asked if anyone had the link. Zainab agreed to email everyone the link in addition to the link for the ASL livestream of this Sunday's second presidential debate.
- Claude added to please encourage your family and friends to register to vote before the local deadline and to please vote on November 8!
Next Meeting Date
- Wednesday, November 2 at Gallaudet Alumni House.
The Chair adjourned the meeting at 2:01 pm.

Zainab Alkebsi, Secretary

2019 Kia Sportage should be an improvement from the last model debuted in 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. However, this is only a mid-life facelift, but according to spy photos we saw, it will be a huge change from the last model and great improvement for this highly popular model. However, we are not sure in many things the manufacturer planned to change, but some of them we could assume according to spy photos and old model.
Design of 2019 Kia Sportage will be made by Korean specialist grouped under the famous KKS Studio, which designed old models, too. As we saw in spy photos, there should be changes in terms of the grille, which could change the shape and position on the front end. There are new LED front lights and small fog lights, too. The whole car is as cute and small as before, with many new improvements and changed lines.
Unfortunately, the cabin in 2019 Kia Sportage could not be seen on test driving, so we are not sure what the manufacturer will actually put there. We also know that they will put the best in class when it comes to the equipment, while the manufacturer will surely ensure comfort and roominess there. It is expected that the manufacturer will put the same tablet-style infotainment system as on other their models.
It is hard to predict the engine that the manufacturer is planning to put under the hood of 2019 Kia Sportage, but there are few clues that can show how it could look like. There are two squared exhausts on the rear bumper and one muffler, which imply that the engine could be the same as on Kia Optima GT-line. In that case, expect 1.7-liter two-turbo petrol unit with 245 horsepower. That is actually the most interesting addition to the already great line of the strong cars that Kia made in past few years. Besides that, Kia confirmed that they are considering of 48-volt mild-hybrid system as well as replacing of existing 1.6-liter GTI with 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol unit.
2019 Kia Sportage Release Date and Price
2019 Kia Sportage should be in car range that cost from $28,900 to $45,000. We concluded that thanks to the previous models. Thanks to that it competes with models like Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, and Honda CR-V. However, we expect that new model will be on the market later this year when all information about the car will be known.

What Our Patients Are Saying

I have been seeing Dr. Jelinek and his staff for years. I have to admit that i've had fears about going to the dentist in the past ... but that was before I started seeing Dr. Jelinek. He and his staff are very kind in addressing my personal phobias. And are polite and efficient whether I am there for just a cleaning or something a bit more serious. Every visit the staff has explained exactly what is going to take place, and reassures me every step of the way. I highly recommend Yung & Jelinek.

I really don't like dentist due to the fact that I was traumatized by one when a was a little girl. As I got older it became harder and harder to go to one. But since I found dr. Jelinek, their staff was been very patient with me to help me and work with my fears. Thank you for your kindness and patience with me!

Cities are mega structures and enourmous organisms. The success of single units depend on how well the infrastruture is prepared to feed that unit and how the input and outputs are received and connected to support points. We saw when the lights were down in Manhattan for 3 days. I doubted if that system was so fragile?
