SHOCKING: Convicted beggars at Ambernath home earn Rs 5 per month
People who are convicted for beggary, which is deemed to be a crime by law, are sent to a home near Ambernath, where they are made to do hard physical labour, but paid a pittance
Beggars who are convicted face a plight that is actually worse than being on the streets. As per the law, beggary is a crime and people who are convicted for it are housed in a beggars' home in Jambun village, near Ambernath.
The beggars' home (above) at Ambernath has no vocational training facilities, and inmates get no visitors. Nearly 9 of the 77 inmates are undergoing treatment for mental illnesses. Yet, they are still made to do physical labour. Pics /Sameer Markande
mid-day had reported about the condition of beggars at the Chembur beggars' home and highlighted how many of the inmates here are physically and mentally ill ('Beware! You could be next inmate at beggars' home', March 26).
After the police round up people for begging, they are kept at the Chembur home. If they are convicted for the crime, they are shifted to the Ambernath home.
mid-day report on Chembur Beggars' Home on March 26
Quite dreadful
The home is about 8 km away from Ambernath railway station, and the 'convicts' are lodged in the three barracks. They are made to toil in the fields and do all other kinds of work. While the law says that even convicted prisoners are entitled to Rs 27 a day, these beggars earn Rs 5 a month.
Officials said there are currently 77 convicted beggars (age group of 18-70 years). Of these, nearly nine are undergoing treatment for mental illnesses, while one is being treated for tuberculosis. Inmates get no visitors, are cut off from the outside world, and live in unhygienic conditions and eat poor quality food.
Vijay Sony (65), an inmate who worked as a waiter in Mumbai for nearly three decades, is unable to recall his past; all he remembers that he was picked up by cops one night while sleeping on the pavement, and sent to the Chembur home, which is the receiving centre, and then landed up here. When asked about his family, he replied with moist eyes, "I am not married. I have no relatives."
No training
While regular convicted prisoners are given vocational training like carpentry, tailoring, bakery etc, and are paid a daily allowance for being skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers, there is no such thing here.
The post for a tailor has been vacant for months and so is the carpentry section, which seldom trains inmates. Farming is the only activity that happens, only between June and November. Inmates produce rice and vegetables in the 30 acres of land near the home.
The centre has a capacity of 150 inmates. The home was earlier a school for the village, but people demanded that the home should be away from large populations.
Hence, the centre was shifted from Ulhasnagar to Jambun. It started on October 1, 1972. Of the 28 sanctioned posts, only 16 are filled. About R40.5 lakh is spent on their salaries, from the total R52-lakh budget, with R38,000 spent on stationery and R43,000 on other utilities like phone, electricity etc.
Experts say
Usha Ramanathan, a Delhi-based independent law researcher, who has done extensive study on beggary, told mid-day, "The state is actually breaking the law, as it does not bother to do anything to rehabilitate those who are booked under the beggary act for no criminal offence. It's high time that the state understands that poverty is not a crime."
She further added, "By dumping these people into custodial institutions, government can't wish beggars away. They still do not have any alternate means of subsistence. We need to first ensure the repeal of the current anti-poor legislation, and instead bring a legislation that will create positive responsibilities of the state and provide for more effective protection of the rights of the destitute, under the constitution."
Mohammed Tarique, programme head, Koshish, TISS' field programme for the rights of the destitute, said, "Ambernath is still closer to Mumbai. But, if a person were to be sent to an interior place in Ahmednagar, a monthly Rs 5 would only fetch them Rs 60 by the end of the term. This would only help him reach Ahmednagar station, where he will again be forced to beg.
No one would give him work either; what the state has done by convicting him for a year, is compel him to beg again." He continued, "Criminalisation of poverty often leads towards total violation of rights and denial of fair opportunities, shelter, health, sanitation etc. Detention without adequate systems for capacity building and rehabilitation only increase vulnerabilities."

Today, the folks at Jeopardy! will be recording the competition, to be aired on 14-16 February, between IBM's Watson computer and two of the game's biggest champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. I'm told that the Watson Research Center lab is closed to employees today, and that employees were asked to work from home or make other working arrangements for the day.
They did a practice round that Watson won, and you can watch some video of that in the ZDNet article. In that round, no one answered any questions wrong — it will be interesting to see how it all works out when the errors start coming in — and it looks like Watson has an edge on the buzzer timing.
Some observers are not impressed by all this. One commenter to the ZDNet article says,
This is not progress. I've talked with others who think the whole thing is a WOMBAT.[1] And, indeed, one has to wonder about an expenditure of a million dollars on a replica Jeopardy! set (according to CNN Money).
But, of course, they want to make a spectacle of this, just as they did with Deep Blue and Garry Kasparov.
Spectacle aside, though, is this just a silly waste? We'll have to see what comes of the technology after the Jeopardy! match. It's not directly clear what IBM did with the technology that went into Deep Blue, but it's unlikely that the technology that has gone into Watson will languish. If all these projects do is produce machines that can play chess or Jeopardy!, then, indeed, they're wasteful, no more than novelties.
But, surely, technology that can understand human-language questions and answer them has many practical uses. Such a system could be a useful front-end to many systems that have to direct people to the right experts, diagnose problems, and answer common questions. Of course, on the other side, many of us might find ourselves more frustrated than we are already, when it becomes even harder to get a real human on the phone.
Though, might we be getting closer to passing the Turing test? Perhaps before too long we won't be able to tell whether we have a real human on the phone or not. And if that computer, Watson XVII perhaps, can answer our questions and give us a smooth and pleasant experience in the process, does it matter?
It's clear that, while word processors and spreadsheets are useful, it's games that have really pushed and expanded the limits of technology. 3-D graphics rendering, hand-held motion sensors, and even parts of the underlying network technology are where they are because of games. If we take advantage of where the games move us and use the technology beyond the realm of entertainment — by, say, rendering images of heart scans in 3-D to give doctors diagnostic capabilities that our parents' doctors couldn't even dream about, and allowing them to perform surgery with amazing levels of precision — then what we spent on the frivolity of the games was well worth it.
So let's see what's next for the Watson technology after Jeopardy!
We've come a long way since Eliza.

Dr. Zoidberg: Fry, look what you did! She won't shut up.
Dr. Zoidberg: This "love" intrigues me. Teach me to fake it.
Dr. Zoidberg: I'm confused, Fry. I'm feeling a strange new emotion I have never felt before. Is it love when you care for a female for reasons beyond mating?
Fry: Nope. Must be some weird, alien emotion.

The 1969 ford mach mustang is a favorite of both mustang fans and major vehicle collectors. The efficiency elements and special design have assisted seal the mach mustangýs position in car history. Most vehicle programs will have at least one 1969 ford mach mustang on display that has actually been kept in prime condition. Even those 1969 ford mach mustang included at vehicle shows that have actually not been kept in prime condition are sources of excellent appreciation and can influence much envy in those who have actually never owned a mustang, not to mention a classic mustang.
Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales projections forecasted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed.
Best Deals Online For Buying Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however numerous modifications were made at the standard opening of the new model year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough difference to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually endured with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Cranberry Isles ME are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were needing to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first version however, due to the extra equipment required to meet new US emission and safety policies, was much heavier than the very first model. Performance was minimized and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Cranberry Isles ME were available in between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 rate automobile and Ford constructed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

The largest childcare member organisations have joined forces in an open letter to all political parties, urging them not to make manifesto pledges that the sector will be unable to deliver.
The National Day Nurseries Association, the Pre-School learning Alliance, and the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY), are concerned that there will be a repeat of the 2015 general election, when political parties rushed to make families promises of free childcare that were underfunded to the tune of hundreds of millions, according to exclusive analysis for Nursery World from 2015.
Working parents of three- and four-year-olds were promised 30-hours in the Conservative manifesto, while Labour pledged 25 hours, and the Liberal Democrats promised 20 hours a week for children aged two- to four-year-olds.
The Tories' 30 hours policy, currently being piloted, and rolled out across England from September is still viewed as unsustainable by many childcare providers.
As a result, the organisations are calling for well-thought through plans made in consultation with the early years sector, that are properly costed and support sustainable quality childcare.
The letter says, 'In 2015 there was a pre-election arms race on childcare policy, with political parties looking to outbid each other on their offer to parents. Two years on, the pledge of 30 hours free childcare for working parents is putting the quality and viability of early years provision at risk.
'Politicians rightly recognise that childcare has a dual benefit of better educational outcomes for children and support for parents to work and train. However, chronic underfunding remains and per child investment in under-fives is half that of primary school children.
'As the political parties finalise their manifestos, we call for well-thought out plans developed in consultation with the early years sector. Plans that support sustainable, quality childcare; delivered by fairly rewarded practitioners who can see a long term future in their profession. Not rash promises that cannot be delivered and do not support children or their parents.'
It is signed by Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of the NDNA, Neil Leitch , chief executive for the Pre-school Learning Alliance, and Liz Bayram, chief executive of PACEY.
Yesterday, a draft of the Labour party manifesto was leaked, pledging plans to increase funding for the free entitlement and extend the 30 hours to all two-year-olds and some one-year-olds.
The final version of Labour's manifesto will be published early next week, and the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats are also expected to publish theirs around the same time.

It's a marinade. It's a sauce. It's both. Mix it with your hamburger meat, bake it on your salmon or make it into a glaze. The possibilities are endlessly delicious.
We encourage eaters to use the term "dressing" liberally. Sure, salads are its jam — but what about noodles, coleslaw or that wild salmon that's been chilling in your freezer?
Why cook plain rice when you could cook fancy rice in less time? Seriously. Just 20-30 minutes to whip up a pot of "Holy smokes! This is way better than I expected."
Simmer Sauces
Need flavor and need it fast? Simmer sauces to the rescue! Just add them to your skillet (or slow cooker) while cooking your meat or veggies and turn the stove down to low. Done and done.
Not every Soy Vay product requires cooking chops. Case in point: these grab-and-go jerky snack packs spiked with Veri Veri.

Mad about hats!
In my last post, I mentioned that I something was being hand made for me. Well there it is! A cloche hat made by Clare - Daisy Darling. I have admired her work ever since she began making hats. I have a small head and as a result I find it hard to get hats that fit me. I usually have to go to the children's section and the selection can be rather limited and not very grown up looking... To have a hat made to fit my head perfectly is wonderful! I am so pleased with it, I love it! Already thinking about which colour to go for next... :-)
I arranged to meet up with Clare in Frome where the Christmas Artisan Market was on. It was packed! The stalls went all the way up St Catherine's Hill. The shops were open and the whole place was filled with a Christmassy atmosphere.
Really liked these tweed hats. I love tweed and hats, the perfect combination!
Poot (Some of Clare's hats are also for sale here)
Yes I couldn't resist the blue tweed hat in the end...It was a good day for hats! Well it's like shoes and handbags, you can never have too many :-)
A bientôt!

Oh how lovely both those hats are - I love hats but rarely wear them since once I have put one one my hair is completely flattened and won't bounce back when I take it off again so it means washing my hair before being in company. That hat looks so light though that it might just work on me - must go to Frome and have a look!
Pity I didn't know about the Frome Christmas Artisan's Market or I would have gone - it looks great fun.

It is a lovely hat! I have the opposite problem - a big head (not "big headed" you understand!)so I have one of Clare's hats too - a summer version.
The tweedy one is great too.

Clare is so talented and she has the perfect glam model in you. You should both be in Country Living in their Style section. I want a cloche hat too now. The Sydney weather isn't as ideal as the UK but a lot of the older-style hats are coming back, thanks to Mad Men. In the street the other day I saw a funky couple with a man's 40's style hat and she was in a cloche and looked wonderful. Take Care and I'll check out the talented Clare's site when I get a chance. Of course, I love the name of her Blog! And I love your curtains as well. xx

Housing Crisis? What Housing Crisis?
I'm sure if you add up all the bedrooms in the country, you'd find a surplus.
Surely, if people opted for sharing their homes, or move into shared homes, we could instantly get more accommodation. Young people can share, old people can share, mixed ages can share. Single households generate more waste per head. Single households need more heating energy per head. It's hard work maintaining a house on your own, especially if you need to work, or if you're elderly.
Government specs for new developments aim to cram them in - great for squeezing them onto brownfield sites, but pathetic for gardens, which are breathing spaces, places for drying clothes, composting waste, growing food, appreciating nature.
Shared housing shares burdens and costs, provides company, provides security, provides care when you're down. People in shared housing find they can afford to work part-time; they can downsize on their personal material comforts, upsize on their social and shared comforts.
Divorce is another issue - I blame lack of conversation in this busy-busy-busy lifestyle. The more you have, the more you have to look after - so cut it out. Axe telly-time, talk. And don't dream of winning the lottery - it won't happen, and any charity will benefit more by direct donation. If you've got a dream, work towards it - dreaming won't help!
In a large group, you can have babysitters, granny-sitters, dog-minders, specialists, and hearty entertainment - jam-sessions if you're musically minded! And how many cars do you need? Not many.

Fair comment - I shared a house for a couple of years recently and really enjoyed it. More than the one-person flat I've had for the last year. The shared house had a garden and company for as much or little time as I wanted - we carried on parallel lives rather than sharing cooking etc. The only issues were to do with fridges and freezers getting too full, not that big a problem, let's face it!
There are very high expectations in this country now regarding personal inhabited space, and house-sharing is very much deemed to be for young people, and poor people. Consequently the house-builders don't build anything 'risky', so we don't get the equivalent of Isocon. The nearest I know of is BedZed, where there are studio flats with their own tiny roof gardens on top of houses, and a social and working space in the same complex.
Can't imagine anyone building anything just yet where there are shared laundry facilties - am I the only person who enjoys going to the laundrette?! So, no, I don't really think we have housing crisis, just politicians jumping on a media bandwaggon...

Line of the Day
If I wanted to say that Princess Margaret smoked a lot, I'd probably say, um, "Princess Margaret smoked a lot, plus Dame Vera Lynn is kind of a bitch." Mark Steyn, however, makes much more money with his writing than I do, and the biggest reason is paragraphs like this one:
According to the obituaries, [Princess Margaret] was a 30-a-day gal. By my reckoning, she got through a good couple of dozen over lunch. By the time Vera Lynn sent back the fish and asked them to bring her some chicken, Her Highness had had at least three. By the time Dame Vera sent back the chicken, telling the waiter "This is inedible", Her Highness had had maybe six or seven. By the time Dame Vera remarked to me that "the colour of your jacket is making me nauseous", Her Highness was on her second pack. She smoked between mouthfuls, she smoked between gulps, she smoked between cigarettes.Now that's writing.

How to ensure the transparency of your media agency?
Last year the Association of National Advertisers and Forrester Research surveyed about 150 senior marketers and found that 46% expressed concern about the transparency of their media buys.
This is almost HALF of marketers who were not entirely sure what the process of their media buying entailed.
With millions of dollars at stake, it's certainly an expense you should fully understand. We get it though. You're busy running your business. So, you've surrounded yourself with trustworthy and strong partners in all areas to help push your business forward. One of those partners is your media agency who is in charge of your TV campaign implementation. Although, you may have the resources to put together an in house team, you instead trust the experts who can do the job much faster and perhaps even cheaper.
Unfortunately, there is no agency relationship manual to help set appropriate expectations for achieving accurate results. However, trust your gut feeling because often times you can certainly get higher performance for your TV ad campaigns. Here are a few questions to ask a new media agency or your current one as a check up to ensure you're getting the most out of the relationship:
- What does the relationship with our account manager look like?
- How to contact and how will results be communicated/tracked/changed?
- How does the agency work on deadlines?
- What are the consequences if goals are not met?
- How does the agency measure success and effectiveness of TV advertising and how are metrics like ROI tracked?
- What does the agency do to keep up with new marketing trends and new technologies?
- Have them share examples of past clients who have done something above the status quo.
Through these questions, you'll want to ensure that you're given the right amount of attention from your agency. Also, you want to work with an agency that is open to new possibilities and is excited about using new marketing technologies that will help boost your business forward.
Once these initial questions are answered, you'll need to ensure that the agency actually follows through on them. Your next step should be to set up a plan to keep your agency accountable. Be clear on your key performance indicators, specific goals, deadlines, and other communication directions. Examples include:
- Account manager communication: weekly call to discuss performance of recent TV ad campaign(s) and review actionable items.
- KPI: to increase conversion by 25% in 2015 through targeted TV ad campaigns (tracked monthly).
- Deadlines: bought TV air times should be communicated within 1 business day, and results should be communicated within 2 weeks of airing.
Once you agree on the accountability plan, it will be much easier to track how the partnership is really working.
Your agency may use Nielsen ratings along with Google Analytics as it is able to show specific "online" performance reviews at the visitor/user level, along with conversion rates for different campaigns and traffic sources. Yet, these analytics are typically not readily available for offline ad campaigns. Often times, an agency may not have the in house ability to derive deep analytics from your TV campaigns as they do with your online ad campaigns. This is a crucial part of your agency relationship as much of the budget relies on these specific metrics.
This is where ResultsOnAir comes in. We work as a partner between the agency and brand. ResultsOnAir, in no way takes away the crucial work of your agency, we just enhance and optimize on it through our analytics dashboard. We provide deep analytics and performance reviews to ensure you are getting the highest returns on your TV ad campaign.
We provide a dashboard specific to your KPIs which shows visual, interactive data. After a quick setup process, you and the account manager from your agency will have complete access to the dashboard which will show specific results on how the ad campaign did in an easy to understand format and in near real-time. Examples of valuable insight include the best time to buy air time that is cost effective and drives the most traffic to the website. The agency should then act on these recommendations when buying new air times. This will ensure that you get the greatest return on your marketing investment.
With this new information, you may want to allocate a certain percentage of your budget to ResultsOnAir recommendations to see the true difference of analytically driven decision making vs. traditional methods your agency may be using. In this way, both you and your agency will see actual results through comparison should there be any doubts on using ResultsOnAir.
We believe in building strong and trustworthy partnerships that are transparent and have the same goals of driving your business forward. We look forward to working with you and your agency soon!
What does your agency use to track metrics and analytics for your TV campaigns? .

What comes to mind when you picture Victorian-era sex? Corsets? Marriages of convenience and social bartering? Repression? Maybe, like, a lot of repression?
Turns out, how we view that time in sexual history might be more than a little warped. We can start to get a better idea of what women of the time really thought about sex by looking at the work of Clelia Duel Mosher, MD. Years before Alfred Kinsey was even born, Dr. Mosher was already researching and discussing the sexual tendencies of Victorian-era women. (This, it should be noted, is in addition to her research that proved women breathe from the diaphragm, just like men, and that it was the corset and a lack of exercise that was to blame for many women's health issues.)
Her sexual survey work started in the 1890s and spanned 20 years, during which time she talked to 45 women at length about their sexual habits and preferences, from how often they had an orgasm to whether they experienced lust independent of their male partners (Spoiler alert: They totally did).
Unfortunately, the report was never published in Dr. Mosher's lifetime. It's only thanks to Carl Degler, an author, professor, and historian, that we know of it at all. He stumbled upon Dr. Mosher's papers in Stanford University's archives in 1973 and published an analysis of her findings the following year.
As others have noted, Dr. Mosher's research has played a major role in changing how historians think of Victorian attitudes around sex. Then, like today, a variety of perspectives on the subject existed. While this one report doesn't sum up everything there is to know about how people had sex at this time, it certainly deepens our understanding of Victorian women, who are all too often painted in broad strokes at best.
Below, we've listed some of the most interesting findings from Dr. Mosher's groundbreaking survey.
Not having an orgasm sucked back then, too.
One of the survey's respondents said, "when no orgasm, [she] took days to recover." In what might be an early description of blue balls for the vagina, another woman described a lack of climax as feeling "bad, even disastrous," and added that she underwent "nerve-wracking-unbalancing if such conditions continue for any length of time."
Yet another woman had something to say about the 19th-century orgasm gap, claiming that "men have not been properly trained" in this area. It seems that women have been taking their own sexual pleasure seriously for hundreds of years — even if the culture at large hasn't.
Sex wasn't just for procreation.
In keeping with Victorian stereotypes, one woman said "I cannot recognize as true marriage that relation unaccompanied by a strong desire for children," and compared a marriage where the couple only has sex for pleasure to "legalized prostitution." But several others disagreed completely.
One woman said that "pleasure is sufficient warrant" for sex, while another added that babies had nothing to do with it: "Even a slight risk of pregnancy, and then we deny ourselves the intercourse, feeling all the time that we are losing that which keeps us closest to each other."
One woman even explained that sex helped keep her marriage strong: "In my experience the habitual bodily expression of love has a deep psychological effect in making possible complete mental sympathy, and perfecting the spiritual union that must be the lasting 'marriage' after the passion of love has passed away with years."
Period sex was pretty cool.
Over a century before we threw around the term "bloodhound" like it was nothing, at least one trailblazing woman believed that sex was always on the table — whether or not it was your Time of the Month. She added that she was fine with getting down at all hours, too: "during the menstrual period…and in the daylight." If anyone reading this just happens to be this woman's lucky descendent, we'd like to send her a posthumous high-five through you.
Why This Is More Than A History Lesson
In his analysis, Degler writes that of course "there was an effort to deny women's sexual feelings and to deny them legitimate expression" back then, but the women who participated in the survey "were, as a group, neither sexless nor hostile to sexual feelings." They didn't let any societal expectations or restraints stop them from having those feelings — and acting on them.
Though we may not live with the same barriers (or dress code) that women did back then, it's reassuring to know that these women defied their time's moral code to speak frankly about their sexuality. As frustrating as it is, women still deal with stigmas surrounding sex today, whether they're at risk of being called prudes or sluts, or being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. This is what we'll remember most about Dr. Mosher's work — that, in the face of whatever shame you may be harboring about your own sexuality, or whatever pressures you may be feeling, you are most likely totally normal and definitely not alone. So why hide it? After all, you never know whom you might end up proving wrong a couple hundred years down the line.
The gap between what we learned in sex ed and what we're learning through sexual experience is big — way too big. So we're helping to connect those dots by talking about the realities of sex, from how it's done to how to make sure it's consensual, safe, healthy, and pleasurable all at once.

Recently it's become blindingly obvious that the world of fashion has become a tad obsessed with birds. I don't know why, I don't care why - I am a fan. This slightly unusual bird obsession of mine was triggered a few months back, by non other than Mr. Ted Baker. I think it's fair to say that Ted loves his bird prints (along with patent shopper bags), and often incorporates the cheeky animal on any garment he has going. Sometimes just the bird, sometimes the odd cage, sometimes a delicate combination of both; but whatever bird-related design it is, it works. As I began looking beyond the joys of Ted Baker, I realised that most shops on the high street have jumped onto this feathery bandwagon and there are birds absolutely everywhere. Clothing, stationary, footwear, bags, jewellery; you name it, and nine times out of ten it comes with a bird or two on it. From glamorous blouses to palazzo trousers, to the odd cheeky piece of lingerie, here I have compiled just a small bird-like collection of some of my current high street must-haves.
River Island Chiffon Blouse - £35.00
Topshop Tattoo Bird Tee - £18.00
ASOS Pussybow Blouse - £28.00
ASOS Bird Print Jumper - £35.00
ASOS Exclusive Trousers - £35.00
Dirty Pretty Things Suspender Dress - £86.00
(Available at ASOS)
House Of Fraser Pussybow Dress - £18.00
…a little designer treat….

Dungeons & Dragons/Learning the game/Ability Scores
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The six attributes in Dungeons and Dragons (hereafter referred to as "DnD") define certain physical or mental abilities of a character, monster, or non-player character (NPC). These are:
- Strength (Str)
- Dexterity (Dex)
- Constitution (Con)
- Intelligence (Int)
- Wisdom (Wis)
- Charisma (Cha)
The most common methods to determine these scores are as follows:
- The player rolls 3d6 six times and places the scores where they are wanted. On average, this will produce a typical individual selected at random from the population. It is suitable for a low-powered campaign.
- An ability score is determined by rolling 4d6 and discard the lowest score. This is repeated six times and each score is placed next to the ability where they are wanted by the player. This method tends to produce higher than average scores, which is more appropriate for a heroic character.
- The point buy method is used to purchase ability scores out of a pool of points. The number of points available is determined by the DM from table 2 below. This method has the benefit of allowing the player to create just the type of character he or she wants to run. A drawback may be the relative ease of min-maxing the character. That is, the player can exaggerate the beneficial abilities for their character while minimizing the less useful abilities.

Now that we're all getting our Samsung Galaxy Tabs, we're going to want to take a screen shot or two, right? And Sammy's made it easy for us. No rooting, no muss, no fuss.
To take a screen shot on your Galaxy Tab, all you have to do is hold the back button and press the power button. You'll hear a shutter "click."
Screen shots are automatically saved onto the Tab's microSD card, in the ScreenCapture folder. You can the e-mail them, mount the device and manually move to your computer, upload somewhere -- whatever you want!
We know this works on the Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile versions of the Galaxy Tab, and presumably it will on the AT&T version, too.
Props to ConceptVBS in our Galaxy Tab forums for pointing this one out!
