No more movies, video games and songs on Tejas, Shatabdi trains. You want to know why?
Fed up of passengers damaging the devices, the railways has decided to remove the LCD devices from coaches of the two premium trainsmumbai Updated: Mar 14, 2018, 10:38 IST
The next time you travel by Tejas Express, you may not be able to watch movies, play games and listen to songs on the LCD screens mounted behind the seats.
Fed up of passengers damaging the device, the railways has decided to remove the infotainment LCD devices from coaches of two premium trains. The recently introduced swanky Anubhuti coaches on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Shatabdi Express also have LCD screens.
It was found that LCD screens were damaged, wires broken, headphones stolen and power switches removed. The railways cited these reasons for discontinuing the on-board infotainment service.
Senior railway board official also stated that orders have been given to all zonal railways and they would begin acting on it and removing the LCD screens. "The order was issued in February and all the zonal railways will start removing the devices soon," said a senior railway board official.
Even as the railways is on its way to remove the LED screens from trains, it is planning to provide free Wi-Fi in all trains. "Wi-Fi facility will be available in all trains," he said. Presently, only premium trains have the facility.
India's first Tejas Express between Mumbai and Goa was flagged off in May 2017 and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. The infotainment LCD devices are prime attractions for passengers.
"We reviewed the Tejas Express and found that the infotainment devices are getting damaged frequently. The devices will be removed as passengers use smart phone and the hotspot Wi-Fi facility will be available in trains," said Ved Prakash, director of information and publicity, Railway Board.

I love the look of a sexy guy who's wearing a backpack but no shirt, especially if he has a body like the guys in today's photo posts. I especially like the guy in the top photo. Look at those abs. Aye-yi-yi …. 😉
Okay, I'm posting very late today; it's close to five PM and I've been busy as hell today because Hurricane Irma is headed for Florida and it's starting to look like the storm will impact the Tampa Bay area in a major way. It's quite possible my home may be destroyed by a storm surge, so I had to spend many hours deciding which papers and possessions I will take with me when I evacuate.
I also had to secure all the loose objects in the yard and on my patios. I moves many things indoors: patio furniture and cushions, my surfboard, all kinds of things. I packed up all my essential clothing items, medical stuff, legal documents, photographs, you name it.
My ex-partner arrived here around two PM, and was very helpful. Two sets of hands get things done a lot quicker. We're staying here tonight, and then tomorrow morning we'll finish packing up our cars with belongings and leaving the island to stay in the city with a friend. We also have to drive 80 miles north of here tomorrow morning to pull our boat from its slip in the marina where we keep it. We'll store it in a high and dry place where it will be safe form the storm surge. Then we'll return to St. Petersburg to ride out the storm. Nobody knows exactly where the storm's eye will travel or how bad the damage will be, but I feel like I've done everything I can to prepare for it.
Have a nice Friday, everyone.

Dear Friends:
I am very pleased to launch the Ontario Human Rights Commission's review of human rights and rental housing and to invite your input into this area of significant concern.
The Commission is seeking input from Ontarians on the issues raised in its Consultation Paper Human Rights and Rental Housing in Ontario. This will assist the Commission in identifying human rights concerns related to discrimination in rental housing accommodation, and provide perspectives and information on the issues raised.
The Commission welcomes input from all organizations and experts with an interest in the issue of human rights and housing. The Commission would also like to hear the personal experiences and opinions of individuals, including tenants who believe they have experienced discrimination in the housing context and landlords who have questions about the application of the Human Rights Code.
I encourage all interested persons and organizations to make written submissions, all of which will be carefully considered. In addition, in June I will begin travelling to Ontario communities including Sudbury, Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto, to hear from the public about this issue.
Your input will inform the Commission's development of a policy statement on discrimination in the area of rental housing and will be the basis of other initiatives in the area related to the Commission's broader mandate to provide advice to policy and decision-makers and raise public awareness about human rights matters.
Please see the attached for details about how you may make written submissions or participate in these public meetings. I look forward to receiving your input and thank you in advance for your interest in this issue.
Barbara Hall, B.A., LL.B., Ph.D. (hon.)
Chief Commissioner

Neptune Chichester
The Chichester is the original Neptune kitchen which is hand painted in a Shell exterior finish and a Shingle internal finish. These beautifully designed solid cabinets are hand built for you using traditional joinery in-frame cabinets with fully extending drawer runners.
The Chichester collection is available with tables, chairs and dressers hand painted with 20 alternative colours along with an ever growing choice of handles.
What makes Chichester different?
Neptune kitchens have lots in common. They're all made from natural timber, they all have a hand-painted finish, they're all designed to be solid pieces of furniture – made beautifully inside and out and at every angle.
But, they've all got a handful of details that make them different to one another too…
Painted interiors
The inside of Chichester's cabinets are all painted too (you can choose any of our colours) rather than being exposed oak like in Suffolk.
Cutlery drawers
Open a cutlery drawer in Chichester and you'll see they're lined with velvet. Sections for keeping things tidy and velvet to stop things from getting scratched.
Vegetable trays
No two Neptune larders are identical. Chichester's has three curved pullout vegetable trays at the bottom to suit its slightly more traditional character.

Tracking employee attendance is precious to your company's productivity and reputation. Basically, attendance is defined as if someone is at work. But how do you track it? Implement well-defined strategies and attendance management system.
First, let's define the meaning of attendance management system.
Definition: Attendance Management System
Employee attendance management system software at work minimizes losses due to employee absences. Active attendance management strategies rely on motivation and awareness, effective employee management and transparency in communication.
The attendance monitoring system clearly describes when employees work, especially hourly or non-distributed employees. This is very important for people who do not often need employees who need to be able to serve their clients. This system is also helpful for Sales Force Automation as it may keep a good track of people working in the field.
Obsolete attendance management system
Without attendance management systems or attendance punching machine, it is difficult to accurately capture this information. The usual method is to capture it in an Excel worksheet or in the actual attendance log. They are prone to human error and are no longer used when capturing correct attendance for different shifts.
The main challenges faced by small businesses
On a typical payroll deadline, you must manually collect, organize, and verify attendance details for all employees (as human resource management or salaried personnel). Collecting large amounts of data every month is always painful because it can lead to human error. Sometimes attendance may be inaccurate or uncertain, which may result in employee dissatisfaction.
The main challenges faced by SMEs will be:
- Attendance log: Most of them do not provide exact data. You do not want to calculate the actual attendance record or punch card of the attendance management system. Keeping these time cards and punches and manually calculating overtime consumes time. This problem can be easily solved with attendance management software!
- Excel sheets: A large number of small and medium-sized businesses use Excel worksheets to display and capture employee attendance. Capturing on Excel worksheets is prone to human error and requires a great deal of time and efforts to maintain and update monthly working hours. This issue can be solved with attendance management system!
- Attendance detection through a biometric device: Some small businesses may rely on ensuring attendance at their office card or biometric fingerprint attendance system. But this requires them to purchase and maintain:
- Many third-party hardware devices like biometric or ID card readers
- Internal wiring
- Associated server and
- Set up an IP network (for authentication).
- This installation and maintenance (via AMC) is a huge expense that you can easily avoid.
- Multiple attendance management software can cause confusion. What if one of your office locations manually records attendance based on the register? What happens if I use an Excel worksheet elsewhere to display/capture attendance? This situation creates difficulties every shift per month. You must organize, compile, maintain and verify accurate and reliable attendance from different sources. This can result in multiple calculations and double checks.
- On-site staff attendance issues: Some SMEs have onsite staff. For example, you are not at the customer's location. In this case, you will not be able to use the third-party attendance system to collect employee attendance data.
Advantages of attendance management system
- Employees and managers access the employee portal to apply, track, review, approve or reject leave applications.
- Administrators can check commute times for a specific time period and see which team members have timed out. Attendance details are captured and displayed in real time and will not be processed at the end of the day, week or month.
- Administrators can add or edit shifts for team members.
- In the attendance monitoring system, the administrator can approve or reject the attendance standardization request of the team members.
- Use GPS-based attendance management system to track mobile or field personnel attendance without relying on customer SPOCs or biometric devices.
- Employees and administrators can relax and need not to worry about the accuracy of attendance. Instead of wasting time and effort recording and email attendance details, approval and follow-up, you can focus on completing projects and tasks.
- Real-time attendance monitoring system allows you to see who is at a remote location!
- Based on accurate real-time attendance data, time management issues can be easily resolved between managers and employees. Administrators and team members can delete all paperwork and emails about the clarity and question of attendance because the attendance management system displays accurate and reliable data.
- The attendance system is very good, so you can alert the administrator in real time at the beginning or end of the swipes. These alerts enable administrators to resolve their early attendance issues before it become a major issue.
AllCAD IT Solutions' attendance management system provides all of these benefits due to the many features it provides. Customers in Dubai and India like the Attendance Management System, which is integrated with the Payroll module and can experience payroll processing with a single click.

[Closed] February Open forum meeting: notes
Capture of WPCF Open forum meeting - Ashland House Ince, Wigan.
WEDNESDAY 27th February 9:30 -12:00
Wigan Parent Carer Forum meeting - open to ALL Parent carers of children/young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities aged 0-25 in Wigan Borough.
HAVE YOUR SAY on the future of SEND services in Wigan. Come along to input your voice, so this can be shared within the workstreams deciding changes to SEND services in Wigan.
09:30 - Welcome and Introductions
09:45 - Updates on SEND transformation
10:15 - Focus on Support for Families
10:45 - Focus on Parent Participation
11:00 - Forum updates
11:15 - Developing Special School Provision Consultation
11:45 - Round up and questions
12:00 - Close
SEND Transformation Update:
There were brief updates today (due to the focus being on the capturing of parent carer views)
on support for families, Local Offer and Transition workstreams. (KM/LF)
No current update for Neurodevelopmental Pathway due to previous meeting times being inaccessible to parent carers so unable to attend. However Becky Johnson (CAMHS) had attended previous open forum meeting and gave an update.
LJA updated the group with an explanation of the SEND Transformation strands and how parent carer forum representatives sit on meetings in the different strands which are:
Integrated services
Increasing inclusion
Improving provision
Support for families
Preparing for adulthood
Today's open forum was focusing on the "support for families" strand and all information gathered would feed into that workstream and to the SEND Partnership Board where parent carer representatives sit. RB questioned how much decision making power do the SEND Partnership Board have and whether the parent carer forum representatives are part of the decision making. LJA explained the structure was still under development but no parent carer reps currently sat anywhere beyond the SEND Partnership Board and would take this back to the SEND Partnership Board for some clarity expressing how parents felt the need to be represented and also part of the decision making process.
Focus on support for families
Families had been made aware the contract from the Local Authority for "Parent Support" in Embrace was coming to an end in March and the future of this was uncertain. LJA informed parents the forum had contacted the Local Authority, as requested in the previous open forum meeting, asking for an official answer and clarity as to how parents would be supported from March but initially received no response. However this response was received from Clare Todd (SEND Lead):
" the Parent Support strand delivered by Embrace will continue, this will only change following feedback from the consultation you are conducting with families and any feedback from the SEND transformation Support for Parents working group.
The Early years KW is also being continued until we have a better understanding of this work."
So the purpose of today was to capture how parent carers would like to be supported moving forward.
We split into 5 groups and discussed how we want support to look for our families.
What do you need as a family to support you?
SEND Transformation: Support for Families: What do you need to support your family?
Educational support - reasonable adjustment

People willing to understand and listen - every family and children are individual
Support needs to be tailored to families
Transition training - support /guidance through each stage of a child's transition: pre-school>primary>kS2>KS3 etc
Awareness- opportunities for parents to gain awareness of pathways, processes, terminology without assuming parents know.
Community groups - likeminded parents to share experiences, opportunities to meet in a safe understanding environment
DLA Support ( W&L Carers, Embrace)
Better support for diagnosis at birth - just sent home!
Support with appointments to schools (specialist) no guidance
Local Offer - doesn't have everything on.
Step by Step guide to what is available - flow chart - what to expect on your journey
Support during diagnosis when emotional support is needed
Offer services such as counseling
Focus on Parent Participation
As above we discussed how the same "Parent Support" contract also included the Parent Participation Coordinator, this post currently not filled but with support from Embrace for the forum until March. There are no plans from Embrace to fill the post with only a month to go on the contract and there are no plans currently to continue this contract.
Again we split into 5 groups to ask:
What should parent participation look like - how do you want to have your voice heard?:
SEND Transformation: Support for families: Parent Participation - How do you want/can your voice best be heard?
Need a paid parent participation coordinator to compliment Parent Carer Forum, SENDIASS & Local Authority.
SENCO's and SEN Governors to join us in discussion (none teaching time)
Get young people to join us to strengthen our voice

More awareness of parent participation - increase attendance - social media, newsletters, SENCO's

Forum updates
We discussed:
Structure of the forum
Chair - Lisa Aldred
Vice Chair - Leanne Flaherty
Engagement Team - Sarah Marsh, Kirstin Hart, Beth Prosser, Kelly Mc Clarence (4 others to be confirmed in Mays open meetin)
Volunteers - (open to all)
Members - all those registered with the forum.
All parent carers of children/young people aged 0-25 with SEND in Wigan can register as members of the forum.
Once someone has volunteered consistently for over 6 months at coffee mornings, stay and plays or other designated forum work they can apply to be part of the Engagement Team.
There are requirements to be part of the engagement team and the intention is that this team remains small whilst being representative of different disabilities/ages/groups.
The engagement team, chair and vice chair will discuss and decide all applications.
The forum is currently a constituted group, the official Parent Carer Forum for Wigan Borough.
The purpose of the forum is to be the voice of parent carers in Wigan on strategic groups, working in partnership with Education, Health and Social Care and other services ensuring services meet the needs of those that use them.
It was explained how previously the forum had been supported by a Parent Participation Coordinator (PPC), funded by the Local authority employed by Embrace Wigan and Leigh.
There is currently no-one in post and the contract for this post comes to an end at the end of March.
From March there will be no PPC whilst SEND Transformation process will consult with parent carers on how they want these services to look in the future.
It was explained this leaves the forum in a vulnerable position moving forward. All current work is voluntary. We receive a small grant from the Department of Education each year of £15,000 pounds. We discussed what this has been spent on this year:
MAX Cards
Data Base
Stay and Plays
Coffee Mornings
Meeting room hire
Parent Empowerment Course
Participation event
Misc (laptop/phone/resources)
SEND Newsletter (part funded by LA)
We asked what the group wanted for the coming year considering we needed to consider the reduced capacity.
To continue with the above where possible, have some evening meetings with special guests, somewhere you can take children, different days,find free rooms.
We discussed issues with the SEND Newsletter - no assurance the LA would continue to part fund it. No "black bag system" to distribute to schools. Limited capacity with no coordinator to distribute. The forum are keen to continue this great resource and will continue to look into options. We talked about the expectations parents might have and what is needed with the reality of capacity of the forum and volunteers. The current priority being to capture parent carer voice and represent this on SEND Transformation strands all other options need to be considered carefully with capacity in mind. There are plans to do some volunteer recruitment and planning for the next year within the next few months after consideration of today's meeting.
There was much enthusiasm and ideas for future opportunities for the forum however there was a need to be realistic about capacity. Although a committed group the reality is, without a coordinator capacity is limited.
Developing special school provision consultation.
We discussed this consultation briefly and mainly raised awareness of the need to complete the survey when you return home..
Questions and comments:
Where do children go whilst the schools change and expand?
The feel was parent carers should have more of a say on all this. - including how the buildings are set out etc
Parents and children are anxious about mainstream provision.
There is a gap for those who are too able for special school but cannot cope in mainstream.
Shape the facilities they have - make them better
Teach mainstream how to deal with special needs
It was explained that it is expected there will be further consultation from Wigan Council.
We could invite someone from the LA to answer some of the questions that arise.
We had been informed there will be focus groups arranged for upcoming plans.
Someone from the LA was prepared to come to this meeting to discuss this but due to the limited time we had to discuss support for families we needed to decline.
It was explained today was a start to the parent carer forum capturing parent carer views in regard to the "Support for families" workstream, there would also be surveys and views captured through other events/sessions. This information will be collated and then used by our representatives when attending SEND Transformation workstreams in order to be representative of parent carer voice in Wigan Borough.
Corrections, views or comments welcome, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com

Our good friend Ryan Flanagan asked us to dial up some new HeadWrapz for Team 24/7 this year. He wasn't looking for a full HeadWrapz design but in stead the HW50 (half-wrap). The design consists of two blown out Team 24/7 logos on the sides. On the back neck insert we have the city in which Team 24/7 is based out of, Charlotte. The skunk stripes have a new look to them by having a double outline with Team 24/7 ghosted in. Also in the design, the American Flag and the North Carolina State Flag on each side. Ryan is a great friend of HeadWrapz and we got the chance to talk with, here is what he had to say:
"The guys at Headwrapz understand how crazy the beginning of a season can be and you all have made it incredibly easy to get the kids in our program a great product with a quick turnaround and very little help from our end. Headwrapz has exploded from a one or two man operation where we were meeting in a coffee shop in to the premier helmet decal design company in the country but they still show their customers the utmost respect and superior customer service. As they have grown, the product has only gotten better. The HeadWrapz designers can come up with the best looks and the product is incredibly easy to apply. We gave our kids their new helmets last week, that they all designed with little input from us, and they absolutely loved it! All our kids do is talk about their helmets and we have heard from numerous parents about how once the kids got home, they did not want to put them down. Headwrapz made us the cool program in town that all the kids are talking about."
Thanks Ryan, we look forward to the next design challenge. Click Here to place your team order today.

Can you drink tap water in Warsaw?
The government in Poland guarantees that the tap water quality in Warsaw is safe to drink. Despite this guarantee, many Poles and tourists use bottled water, especially mineral water, instead of tap water. It is believed that one of the reasons people distrust tap water is because of the influence that the privatized water industry has in Poland. Ad campaigns that promote the quality of bottled mineral water over soft tap water are likely contributing to the public stigma against tap water.
Water companies operating in Poland are required to comply with standards adopted from European Union (EU) regulations. The most significant directive is the Water Framework Directive (WFD) which changed the water cleanliness evaluation system that had been used in Poland since 1970. The new system's objectives are to preserve the Biological, Hydro-morphological (i.e. river bank structure and river continuity) and Chemical quality of ALL ground and surface water. This guarantees that any water meant for consumption must not, even potentially, pose a danger to human health. The directive also sets the general standard of acceptable concentrations of harmful substances in the human body.
Source of Water in Warsaw, Poland
Less than 1% of Warsaw's water comes from groundwater sources (mainly for a few of the smaller outer-lying municipalities). Most of Warsaw's water comes from the Vistula River and is retained in the Zegrze Reservoir. The Zegrze Reservoir, or Zegrze Lake, is a man-made reservoir that was built in Poland in 1963. The dam utilizes hydroelectric power to produce 20 Megawatts of energy.
There are three water supply systems that serve Warsaw residents. Central Water Main, developed in the 19th century, is the oldest. Though it has undergone numerous restorations, it continues to operate and currently provides water for more than half of all Warsaw residents. The other two supply systems are Praga Water Main and Northern Water Main.
Traveler's Notes
Tap water is generally safe to drink, though bottled water is cheap and readily available.
