It depends, but in overall, I think it does "kill" your creativity so I therefor choosed yes. I think the system school uses is the fault! They uses force instead of choice and not everything you learn is something that will come in handy in life. I agree with boyinaband with his video don't stay in school. A better system would be to have kinda mix of force See More▼ and choice and the only things forced is things that will come in handy for everyones life! Other things will be choices where you can freely choice any classroom you want practising anything you want and gather points for each lesson. You don't have to, but the more lessons you go to the more points you'll get.
I'd like to object to that. You will use these things, just not realize it. Pythagrean theory is used all the time, and its just a skill. In reality, you do choose, and its the same in life- work hard and succeed, or play around and fail. It's how society works.

I do not think school "kills" creativity because certain subjects--such as english--allow you to express yourself. Also, teachers want students to express themselves, but balancing chemical equations is not creative so I think it is hard to connect the two... Overall, if you have creativity then school can not "kill" it unless you let it.

No, we have to get creativity from your parents first. You act creative, school becomes fun.

only because we have strict ass dress codes

In case if anyone is currious, I just think we allow it too. We consider facts into our fantasy and thats it. We just need too learn how too seperate the two.

Yes because whenever you try to express your creativity by adding a twist to the uniform or doodling on our hands they give you detention (usually not all schools do) and make you take it off or get rid of it.
Thats actually because uniforms are intended for formality or decreacing of bulling and the drawings on your hands can be a distraction.
Other than that, would you consider school "killing" creativity?
Other than that, would you consider school "killing" creativity?
Well I think it does you probably disagree as your school may have different rules however it's your own opinion and I respect that.
on February 24, 2017
I said decreace bullying, not stop, and even after the doodling stops you have to wash it off because it's still a destraction.
Again, other than those things, does it kill our creativity?

Almost four decades ago, the city of Charleston got serious about collecting parking tickets: It computerized its records and bought its first locking metal boots to immobilize cars until their owners paid up.
Parking downtown hasn't gotten any easier since.
Altogether, downtown motorists discover about 400 parking tickets on their windshields each day. And this time of year is when the parking crunch is felt anew, as grade schools and colleges start back up and locals return from vacation.
So here are 20 things to know while navigating Charleston's ever-evolving parking scene:
1. Relax and realize you might not be able to park close by. In fact, if you see an empty on-street space a block or two before your destination, consider taking it. You might find a closer spot, but you also might kick yourself for passing it up.
2. Don't ignore parking tickets. It might have been possible decades ago to let a few slide, but the city will boot cars or trucks if they have accumulated $200 or more in unpaid tickets.
3. Pay on time. Missing the city's deadline adds between $9 and $20 to the fine.
4. Consider appealing. Those who feel they were ticketed unfairly, or who simply hope for a mulligan, can seek a hearing at the city's offices at 180 Lockwood Blvd. But there's an associated cost; The wait can be 30 minutes or longer. How much is your time worth?
5. Mind the markings. A yellow-painted curb means parking is a no-no there, and cars parked outside the painted parking lines also may face a $10 ticket — the cheapest ticket the city issues, but still.
6. Mind the signs. Residential streets (without parking meters) are fair game, and nearby signs will explain whether the limit for parking there (without a residential sticker or guest permit) is 1, 2 or 4 hours.
7. If parking in a one-hour neighborhood zone, you probably have 90 minutes. If the restriction is for 2 hours, you're probably fine for 2½ hours. Parking enforcement officers are diligent, but they are not able to track the exact time you park on a neighborhood street. Consider the limit a suggestion, not a hard deadline. But know the more you push it, the more you risk a ticket.
8. Mind street-sweeping signs. Currently, several neighborhoods (west of King Street, between Broad Street and Hampton Park) prohibit on-street parking on certain dates so city street sweepers can do a better job. This only applies one day a month, on different days in different neighborhoods. Unfortunately, these streets are largely empty on those days (and therefore a tempting place to park). But such tickets cost $45, and your vehicle could be towed at your expense.
9. Don't block the sidewalk. Even if you have a homeowner's permission to block their driveway, you run the risk of a $45 ticket if you block the sidewalk (because it limits handicapped access).
10. Downtown workers have a new option. The city's new HOP shuttle runs from Morrison Drive and Conroy Street to various sites downtown. Designed for city hotel and restaurant workers, it can be used by anyone. Parking is $5 a day; the shuttle is free.
11. Sunday morning is easy parking. To help downtown religious institutions, the city allows some free parking Sunday mornings inside certain garages. Parishioners can ask their church leaders for details about this.
12. Don't feed the meter. The whole idea behind parking meters is to generate turnover in front of businesses, and enforcement officers keep track.
13. If you're parking in a neighborhood, you can move your car from one space to another to avoid a ticket for staying there longer than the one-, two- or four-hour limit. Enforcement officers don't use chalk to mark tires there. Instead, they track a vehicle's license plate and the relative position of the valve stems on its tires.
14. Disabled people have help: State law allows those with a handicap placard to park for free at any time on city streets and in its lots and garages, but this doesn't apply to privately owned lots (such as the two surface lots off King Street, just south of Calhoun, that used to be managed by the city but now are managed privately).
15. Don't worry about change. City parking meters were retrofitted recently to accept credit cards, and they also still accept SmartCards, which provide a refund for time not used. (SmartCards are for sale at 180 Lockwood Blvd. and at the Charleston Visitor Center, 375 Meeting St.)
16. Don't park facing the wrong way. All cars parked on city streets must face the direction of traffic, per state law. Those parked in the wrong direction may get a $22 ticket.
17. Move your car at least weekly. Even those with a residential parking sticker must move their car once ever seven days — or an officer might consider it abandoned. Downtown residents going on a long vacation may notify the Charleston Police Department to let them know.
18. Look for commercial loading zones in the evening. These on-street spaces are restricted only to vehicles identified by commercial markings and bearing a commercial license plate that are loading and unloading, usually between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. (check the sign). Outside that time, they're fair game for the rest of us.
19. City garages are a relatively good deal. Recent changes to the city's parking meters make them no cheaper than city garages, which already have been charging rates well below some privately owned parking lots. The city also offers some breaks, such as flat $5 deals after 5 p.m. at the Visitor Center and 93 Queen St. garages.
20. There are rules for bikes, too, at least on King Street. It used to be OK to lock your bike to a King Street parking meter or sign, but that's now a no-no since the city provided on-street bike corrals.
Parking history
Newcomers arrive daily and join the locals in trying to find the closest, cheapest and safest place to leave their car.
They aren't the only ones trying to get their arms around the city's parking picture. The city recently hired a consultant to do a peninsula parking study — the first comprehensive study in 20 years — that will delve into its number of on-street and off street spaces and what parking might look like here in 10 years.
City Transportation Director Keith Benjamin said the study — which will involve a major public input session this fall and could be done by year's end — also aims to evaluate how public transit and housing plans affect parking needs.
"As long as decisions are made in separate boxes, it's going to be harder for every citizen ... to see why X solution was come to and how it does or doesn't benefit them," he said. "I think there's efficiencies about our parking that have not been executed yet."
The city recently doubled its parking rates at its 1,700 parking meters to $2 an hour, and they're now enforced until 10 p.m., four hours longer than before. The new study will shape further city decisions about parking rates, new garages, supply of on-street parking, park and ride programs, and residential parking rules.
The crunch is compounded a little by a plethora of cars and trucks with commercial license plates, which some feel leads to abuse of the city's loading zones.
For the city, parking is big business. Last year, it netted more than $20 million, mostly from city lots and garages. Only $1.4 million came from parking meters and metered lots.
That doesn't include income from parking citations or the more than 12,000 residential parking permits sold in a year.
For those new to parking here, mistakes are inevitable. Claire Walters of Queen Street recently found her silver Jeep being hooked up to a tow truck because she had forgot it was the one day each month city streetsweepers come through.
"Luckily, I got to the car fast enough that with a $50 fee, I could get it unhooked before it was towed," she said. "With it being summer, I lost track of the days."
Walter notes the city used to send someone down her street with a megaphone urging people to move their cars on streetsweeping days.
That's not done anymore, so the following advice can serve as a sort of different of warning for people eager, like Walter, to minimize their parking pain.

Arizona Coyotes, American expert ice hockey group situated in Glendale, Arizona, that plays in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). As the Winnipeg Jets, the establishment won three World Hockey Association (WHA) titles (1976, 1978, and 1979).
The establishment, an establishing individual from the WHA, was initially situated in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and started play in 1972 as the Jets. In its debut season the group stood out as truly newsworthy before it made a solitary showing, when it transferred ownership of hotshot Bobby Hull from the NHL's Chicago Black Hawks. The milestone procurement gave moment validity to the juvenile group and along these lines prompted bigger pay rates for all expert hockey players as the NHL groups were compelled to build their compensation to abstain from having their players poached by WHA establishments. With Hull the Jets demonstrated to be one of the WHA's best groups, showing up in the Avco Cup (alliance title) finals in five of the seven WHA seasons and winning three titles (1976, 1978, and 1979). The monetarily fumbling WHA was compelled to converge with the NHL before the 1979–80 season, and the Jets were one of four WHA establishments to move to the NHL.
The Jets' strength did not reach out to their new class, as the group neglected to post a triumphant record in any of its initial five NHL seasons. Focus Dale Hawerchuk drove the group to winning seasons and first-round play-off triumphs (and second-round misfortunes to the possible boss Edmonton Oilers) in both 1984–85 and 1986–87, however the Jets neglected to propel any more distant in the postseason during the rest of their time in Winnipeg. As player pay rates and different costs kept on becoming through the 1980s and '90s, the little market Jets battled monetarily, and the group was sold to a gathering of Phoenix-region financial specialists in 1995. The establishment migrated to Arizona before the 1996–97 season and wound up known as the Phoenix Coyotes.
Driven by the play of left wing Keith Tkachuk, conservative Shane Doan, and defenseman Teppo Numminen, the renamed Coyotes qualified for the postseason in every one of their initial four seasons in Phoenix, losing in the first round on each event. Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky turned into a minority proprietor of the group in 2000 and turned into the Coyotes' head mentor in 2005. Phoenix neglected to complete any higher than second-to-toward the end in its division during Gretzky's residency, and he ventured down in September 2009 not long after the Coyotes—who kept on losing cash after their turn to Phoenix—declared financial insolvency security. After two months the bankrupt group was obtained by the NHL. Regardless of this unrest the Coyotes won 50 amusements during the 2009–10 season (the group's most elevated success aggregate since joining the NHL 30 years sooner) to end a six-year play-off dry season. In 2011–12 the Coyotes won the main division title in establishment history. The group pursued that accomplishment by beating the Blackhawks in an exciting first-round play-off arrangement wherein five of the six recreations were chosen in extra time to guarantee the establishment's first postseason arrangement triumph since its movement from Winnipeg. The Coyotes won another play-off arrangement before at last being killed by the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference finals.
In 2013 the NHL sold the group to a proprietorship bunch that pledged to keep the Coyotes in Arizona. To mirror the way that it is based outside of Phoenix and with an end goal to further interest hockey fans over the express, the establishment changed its name to the Arizona Coyotes in 2014.

Employers in New York state and throughout the country are generally prohibited from making hiring decisions based on gender or age. However, a lawsuit filed by the former in-house attorney for Nokia accuses the tech giant of age and gender discrimination. The plaintiff claims that she was treated differently than male employees while seeking a promotion.
She was first passed over for the role of temporary head of customer operations legal and compliance for North America in 2016. The attorney was later denied an opportunity to fulfill the role permanently because of a lack of managerial experience. However, it says that three men were promoted to management positions despite not having any direct reports. According to the plaintiff, she had direct reports within the company as well as past management experience with other companies.
In August 2018, she filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In October 2018, the woman was terminated by Nokia, and she claims that it was related to her EEOC complaint. Nokia has not commented on the pending lawsuit. The plaintiff's attorney stated that it represented the worst kind of gender discrimination a person could face.
Workers who are passed over for a promotion or other advancement opportunity may be victims of gender discrimination in the workplace. A pattern of choosing employees of one gender over the other for certain positions could be evidence of discrimination. Statements from a manager or the owner of a company could also indicate that a culture of discrimination exists within a given organization. If a claim is successful, an individual may be entitled to compensation for lost wages or other damages related to an employer's illegal activity.

Stifel Seeks to Subvert Baird's Purchase of Hilliard
Stifel Financial Corp. attempted to undermine Robert W. Baird's planned acquisition of J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons days after the deal was announced on November 27, according to sources.
Stifel Chairman and Chief Executive Ron Kruszewski sent a letter to Hilliard Chairman and CEO James Allen within a week, offering what he believed was a slightly improved acquisition price and blandishing Stifel as a more attractive home for the Louisville, Kentucky-based firm's approximately 380 brokers, the sources said.
Key to his pitch was a more generous war-chest to fund retention offers, the sources said. Stifel is willing to double the retention pool that Baird will set aside, the sources said.
Kruszewski's pitch was aimed at persuading Allen, who has spent his 37-year brokerage career at Hilliard, that his legacy would be stronger under the umbrella of the Stifel Nicolaus retail brokerage channel, the sources said.
Allen, who would be a vice chairman at Baird, did not respond to Kruszewski's letter, they said.
Kruszewski, who has acquired some 25 retail brokerage, investment banking and trading firms since 2005, does not appear to have taken a formal approach to lassoing Hilliard. He has not approached its parent company, Houchens Industries, nor has Stifel filed any notification of a "bear hug" or other offering in a regulatory filing. Unlike Houchens and Baird, Stifel is publicly traded.
Kruszewski's approach is unconventional at best if he were really trying to combat the offer from Wisconsin-based Baird, said Marcel Kahan, a mergers lawyer who teaches corporate law at New York University.
"From the perspective of Houchens, why would they care about the retention offers," he said. "Maybe what is going on is that they want to pressure Houchens through the employees of Hilliard."
Allen and Kruszewski, who has been CEO of Stifel since 1997, are longtime acquaintances. Allen is chairman of the Securities Industry Financial Markets Association, and Kruszewski sits on the trade group's board and has previously been its chairman.
Allen did not return calls for comment left at his home and at his office. Spokespeople at Baird, Hilliard and Houchens—a conglomerate whose primary holdings are grocery and convenience store chains—did not return calls for comment.
Kruszewski has brandished his recruiting warchest in the past as a tool to pick off individual brokers, and Stifel last week recruited a father-son team from Hilliard in Memphis.
After losing a bidding war for Morgan Keegan to Raymond James Financial in 2012, Stifel flaunted retention bonuses that it said would have bettered its competitor's deals, according to a press report. Raymond James has said that it retained 95% of Morgan Keegan brokers to whom it offered deals.
Baird's retention deals of 25%-to-75% of trailing 12-month revenue are restricted to brokers who generate at least $400,000 in revenue, sources said.
As part of its standard recruiting package, Stifel offers brokers who generate $400,000 of annual fees and commissions up to 120% of their trailing-12 production, a total that includes front-end bonuses as well as awards for hitting production and account transfer targets in future years.
answer go to stifel–why stay at a firm when a competitor tells the ceo hes underpaying his reps???And hes willing to write a fair check today !!
Have to hand it to Ron Kruszewski…he's a take-no-prisoners type of CEO.
Jim Allen has spent his life at Hilliard and excelled at one of the most important dimensions of leadership – he fostered a culture of genuine care and concern for his associates. The loyality within Hilliard Lyons is unbelievable. Sadly, JIm was not able to grow Hilliard over the past decade and because of this, they lacked the capital to continue. But, he was wise in selling to Baird over Stifel. Stifel is a hard charging swashbuckling organization. It is so many things that Hilliard or Baird is not. When you examine the retention figures – who remains at Baird, – you will see that in spite of a somewhat meager retention package, the vast majority will stay. Jim knows his folks and again their loyalty is beyond compare. Ron K can write letters and pound his chest – but a great number of HL Advisors would not have remained at that firm.
all minor league firms, who cares.
you know what, i'm really interested in Ronnie the headhunters take on this….On second thought no.

Jacqueline Kennedy's Beef Stroganoff
Often, a First Lady was asked for a recipe with her name on it, usually for charity or for newspapers and magazines. Jacqueline Kennedy was set on serving only the best, especially to visiting dignitaries. Here is her recipe for Beef Stroganoff.
2 Pounds Boneless Beef Sirloin
4 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
3 Tablespoons Unbleached Flour
2 Cups Beef Broth
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
1/4 Cup Grated Onions
1/4 Cup Fresh Sliced Mushrooms
Cut the beef into strips. Season the beef with the kosher salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 2 hours in a cool place. In a large size skillet, whisk the flour and 3 tablespoons of butter over a low heat until the mixture bubbles and forms a smooth paste. Slowly add the beef broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Let boil for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the sour cream alternately with the tomato paste. Keep whisking. Simmer slightly for 1 minute. Do not let boil. In a separate skillet, quickly brown the beef, mushrooms and onion in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over a medium heat. Add the contents of the meat pan to the sauce. Simmer very gently for 20 minutes. Serve over wide noodles. Serves 4

The drumbeaters of dystopia
The Indian media can barely question the state narrative on Kashmir, while global outlets can only pick holes in it
Krishna Prasad
On the last morning of October 1984, Rajiv Gandhi was campaigning in West Bengal when a police jeep intercepted his Mercedes to deliver the message: "There's been an accident in the house. Return immediately to Delhi." His mother, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, had been shot at by her Sikh bodyguards in her garden, on the way to a TV interview. As he waited for a helicopter to take him to Calcutta, the Congress General Secretary turned on his transistor radio to get the latest. He tuned in, not to All India Radio but the BBC. The news was not good but that is not the point.
Even in pre-reforms India, when broadcast media was a government monopoly and mouthpiece, a would-be Prime Minister's first resort of trust was "Auntie", not mummy's Akashvani. Thirty-five years on, with 400 private TV news channels, 1,000 newspapers, and 3,000 radio stations, it is a telling commentary on the credibility of the Indian news media ecosystem — in fact, on the theology of "competition" in a free-market economy — that nearly every piece of information which contests the establishment narrative that all is well in Kashmir, has come from a non-Indian source.
Stark contrast in coverage
Here's a baker's dozen since the "lockdown" began: First video of protests, firing: BBC, 'Al Jazeera', Reuters; Number of arrested: AFP, AP, Time, The New York Times; Minors among those detained: The Washington Post; Detenus flown out of overcrowded jails: AFP; First pellet injury death: 'Huffington Post'; Soura, epicentre of resistance: Reuters; First bullet injury death: France 24; Beatings, torture: BBC, The Independent; Harassment, sexual abuse of women: Deutsche Welle; Civilians forced to chant 'Vande Mataram': Foreign Policy; Doctor detained for speaking of shortage of medicines: BBC; Hospitals turning into 'graveyards': The Wall Street Journal; Emerging medical emergency: The Lancet editorial.
With most "national media" plunging into the patriotic duty of drumming up support for the "constitutionally contentious" move — privileging the interests of a rampaging State over that of the caged citizen — the contrast provided by global outlets unmasking the suppression of human, civil and fundamental rights of Kashmiris, has been so stark that one website was constrained to ask: "Are foreign and Indian media reporting on the same place?" A mainland journalist on assignment says she has encountered so much hatred for the media's part in painting a monochromatic picture, that she has had to apologise on behalf of her fraternity multiple times.
Ground zero in Kashmir
Therein lies the great paradox. For a whole month in the 21st century, Kashmiri journalists have worked in the 20th. They have not been able to freely use the phone and the Internet, write or transmit stories, print or distribute newspapers. They have been denied curfew passes, harassed at security checkpoints, made to delete photos and videos. They have had to beg travellers flying out of Srinagar to carry pen drives and printouts of mobile screenshots. Of the Valley's 174 dailies, fewer than 10 are being published; their e-papers are frozen in time, on August 5. One editor going abroad for training was stopped inside an airport after he had picked up his boarding passes.
Yet, with foreign correspondents being denied permits to go to Kashmir, American, Arabic, British, French and German media organisations have relied entirely on home-grown journalists for their stand-out coverage, which begs the question as to why Indian mainstream media (MSM) vehicles have not been able to find the space or the resources for them. Or, why they have felt duty-bound to "broadcast sunshine stories that life is back to normal and getting better every day", in the words of a British academic. Either the Indian media is so true to its craft, or so craven, that not a single report has had to be disputed. For the first time since 2014, the parrot cannot hear the cries of the majority, Muslim in this case.
Near capitulation
It is not as if all the Indian media has buried the story: there have been tiny isles of valiance in an ocean of conformity. Just that, after the initial flurry, the giants are coasting in the routine and the official, as per the sage advice: "Some news is best not reported". Pockets of English print and digital journalism still offer some exceptions but large swathes of language media have served unvarnished, Islamophobic propaganda sans scrutiny. "Whatever [the] Indian media is reporting, the opposite is true," says one Kashmiri journalist. "Editors give directions to field reporters on the kind of soundbites they want from the ground to fit into their studio scripts. People oblige but viewers do not see the security men behind the camera."
A charitable explanation for the near-wholesale capitulation — the "underhand censorship" as one media watcher called it — is that, in the epoch of hyper-nationalism, Indian journalism is reverting to its historical and dutiful role of "nation-building". Newspapers at the time of Independence, TV now. So, while the "western" media can only see anger, abuse, chaos, trouble and violence in the kaleidoscope, 'swadeshi' media can only see peace, calm, order, happiness and acceptance. In the battle between hard reality and 'sarkari' spin, between democracy and 'desh bhakti', loyal owners, editors, anchors and other toadies know which perception has greater purchase in the #NewIndia market.
The peak of lows
In truth, however, Kashmir marks the apogee in a long orbit of evisceration of the Indian media, an ongoing project that has overturned the profession's credo to "comfort the afflicted". Successive low benchmarks — JNU, cow lynchings, love 'jihad', Sabarimala, triple 'talaq', Rohit Vemula, demonetisation, Pulwama, surgical strikes — have taught the watchdogs to assume a supine pose. The pliancy in Kashmir, therefore, is a Pavlovian response. As The Economist commented: "The Press's current sycophancy rises from a hinterland of intimidation, trimming and currying favour dating back to Narendra Modi's rise in power in 2014."
The strategem to subjugate the Kashmiri voice is, of course, a work in progress but it gained steam when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joined hands with the Peoples Democratic Party in 2016. Standard intimidatory tactics with plausible deniability built into them — labelling newspapers as "anti-national"; denying government advertisements; arresting and interrogating editors — served to send the signal to the rest of the tribe. Battered by revenue shortfall, salary cuts and job losses, most fell in line. An artfully created class divide among journalists, between local and national, Pandit and Muslim, Indian and foreign, has polarised positions, and removed empathy from the equation.
Despite Brexit and Hong Kong, Kashmir has sparked a scramble among international news media houses, each trying to scoop the other. As the communications blackout took hold, BBC Radio thumbed its nose at Delhi by increasing the duration of its Hindi and Urdu bulletins with the teasing tagline: "Neither Internet shutdowns nor power cuts can stop independent news". Meanwhile, the Indian MSM was resting its oars, having done its bit in the sacred task of manufacturing consent on the mainland. With the hashtag #KashmirWithModi trending on social media even without Kashmir being connected to the grid, Umberto Eco's warning of the "invasion of the idiots" has come good.
In the "Brave New World" of Kashmir, the Indian state has worked out the Huxleyan circuitry of how to make the media relay a unitary message without explicitly making it appear so. Therefore, a scarcity of dissent in spite of a plethora of evidence. It is a model that can be developed further and replicated anywhere else at short notice — within the pretence of a democratic framework.
In 1954, Gabriel García Márquez wrote: "Journalism is a biological necessity of humanity." To the eternal shame of the Republic, in 2019, from the judges of the Supreme Court to the former judge who heads the Press Council, from the Information and Broadcasting Minister to industry bodies, the open-ended trade fineprint "Conditions Apply" seems to be the operative clause. And to think that the train of events — from the BJP pulling out of the coalition, to the abrogation of Article 370 — was set off by the assassination of a journalist: Shujaat Bukhari, the founding editor of 'Rising Kashmir'. But, then, does a Chinar tree make noise when it falls, if the Indian media is not around?

The larger picture about inclusive programming
India is in a unique position to scale up 'same language subtitling', improving both media access and reading literacy

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) recently mandated captioning for TV programming in order to make it accessible to the Deaf or Hard of Hearing population. The decision comes nearly four decades after the United States first implemented captioning for the same purpose. India's phase-wise implementation plan requires all 800 plus channels to start this on at least one programme a week, beginning August 15, 2019, Independence Day. By 2020, 10% of all programming must have captions; the figure is to grow by 10% every year, covering up to 50% of all programming by 2025.
The wellspring
The policy impetus for this decision is rooted in the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 which made "sub-titles" on TV a right. The major challenge for the Ministry now is to ensure compliance by all channels, state and private, as set in the time table.
Captioning on TV for the aurally-challenged is not new. Many countries have followed the U.S.'s lead. Still, India's foray into TV captioning is significant for two reasons. It is one of the first major countries in the Global South to embrace captioning for media access, Brazil being the other one. But India is the first country where the importance of captioning, or Same Language Subtitling (SLS) has been established for mass reading literacy.
Key goals
At a time when countries are searching for scalable and evidence-based solutions to achieve their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SLS in India, if implemented as mandated, is poised to make a massive contribution to SDG-4 on quality education; this is because quality education, foundationally, depends on good reading skills.
India has a billion TV viewers. The average Indian watches TV for 3 hours and 46 minutes every day, according to the latest FICCI–EY Media & Entertainment report (2019). Film (24%) and general entertainment (53%) are the dominant genres. All of this content is now required to have SLS, in all languages.
Scientific evidence suggests that SLS on TV would serve three goals: daily and automatic reading literacy practice for one billion viewers, including 500 million weak-readers who would benefit the most; Indian language improvement for one billion viewers, and, finally, media access for 65 million aurally challenged people.
All English channels in India have been implementing SLS for film and general entertainment content for over a decade. A fascinating study that compared 'dubbing' with 'subtitling' countries of English content on TV found that the population in the latter group has better English language proficiency. English channels in India added SLS on their own to help the Indian ear grasp unfamiliar English accents, causing a rise in viewership. Importantly, the English SLS experience establishes that it is not difficult for the entertainment industry to implement SLS system-wide, if it so desires.
Studies in India are at the global forefront of advancing SLS for reading literacy, having proven in several TV pilots that: SLS causes automatic and inescapable reading engagement even among very weak readers who can barely decode a few letters; regular exposure to SLS leads to measurable reading skill improvement, and improved reading skills result in much higher rates of newspaper and other forms of reading. With frequent exposure to SLS over three to five years on content that people watch in any case, most weak readers can become functional and even good readers.
Inspired by the Indian experience, there is an active campaign in the United Kingdom to Turn-On-The-Subtitles (TOTS) by default in children's programming. Ironically, while India plans to follow in the footsteps of the U.S. and the U.K. to get started on captioning for media access, the U.K. is drawing on SLS work in India for reading literacy. India is in a unique position to scale up SLS on TV for both goals: media access and reading literacy.
The cost of SLS is negligible for new content when incorporated in the production process itself. To institutionalise SLS on TV, broadcast policy could, therefore, simply mandate it for all new content produced and telecast after a set date.
For more than a decade, the Annual Status of Education Reports (ASER) have found that, nationally, half the rural children in standard 5 cannot read standard 2-level text. Despite all the system-level inputs on quality education, this outcome measure has stubbornly resisted any noteworthy improvement. If India is to achieve its commitment to SDG 4 on quality education, we need solutions, backed by evidence, and the collective power of the government, civil society, academia and the industry to implement them.
Other platforms
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has taken the most important step toward mainstreaming TV captioning. Now, together with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, policy needs to mandate SLS on all digital Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms. Although translation subtitling is commonplace on OTT platforms and they offer SLS in English, none of them has SLS in the Indian languages, such as Hindi subtitles for Hindi content and so on. This is simply because policy does not yet require SLS on OTT.
Civil society has shown how SLS can be implemented cost-effectively. Academia has provided strong evidence that SLS works remarkably well to achieve the multiple goals of media access, reading literacy and language learning. The entertainment industry must play its part by turning on SLS for audio-visual content in all Indian languages. SLS is a right. Let us do the right thing.

Factoring in safety
Major industrial accidents point to the need for a stronger worker safety law
India's record in promoting occupational and industrial safety remains weak even with years of robust economic growth. Making work environments safer is a low priority, although the productivity benefits of such investments have always been clear. The consequences are frequently seen in the form of a large number of fatalities and injuries, but in a market that has a steady supply of labour, policymakers tend to ignore the wider impact of such losses. It will be no surprise, therefore, if the deaths of four people, including a senior officer, in a fire at the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation gas facility in Navi Mumbai, or the tragedy that killed nearly two dozen people at a firecracker factory in Batala, Punjab are quickly forgotten. Such incidents make it imperative that the Central government abandon its reductionist approach to the challenge, and engage in serious reform. There is not much evidence, however, of progressive moves. The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2019, introduced in the Lok Sabha in July to combine 13 existing laws relating to mines, factories, dock workers, building and construction, transport workers, inter-State migrant labour and so on, pays little attention to the sector-specific requirements of workers. One of its major shortcomings is that formation of safety committees and appointment of safety officers, the latter in the case of establishments with 500 workers, is left to the discretion of State governments. Evidently, the narrow stipulation on safety officers confines it to a small fraction of industries. On the other hand, the Factories Act currently mandates appointment of a bipartite committee in units that employ hazardous processes or substances, with exemptions being the exception. This provision clearly requires retention in the new Code.
A safe work environment is a basic right, and India's recent decades of high growth should have ushered in a framework of guarantees. Unfortunately, successive governments have not felt it necessary to ratify many fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) covering organised and unorganised sector workers' safety, including the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981. Those ILO instruments cover several areas of activity that the NDA government's occupational safety Code now seeks to amalgamate, but without the systemic reform that is necessary to empower workers. It is essential, therefore, that the new Code go back to the drawing board for careful scrutiny by experienced parliamentarians, aided by fresh inputs from employees, employers and experts. Industries that use hazardous processes and chemicals deserve particular attention, and the Code must have clear definitions, specifying limits of exposure for workers. Compromising on safety can lead to extreme consequences that go beyond factories, and leave something that is etched in the nation's memory as in the case of the Bhopal gas disaster.
Hard-fought glory
With his 19th Grand Slam win, Nadal closes in on Federer's record in the race for tennis' apex
Rafael Nadal's relationship with hard courts can be described as tenuous at best. While he is the king of clay and quite adept on grass, the acrylic has often been his bane. Over the years, the Spaniard has found the surface unforgiving; from his back to both his hips right down to his knees, all have suffered significant wear and tear. Yet, none of this stopped the 33-year-old from securing his fourth U.S. Open title on Sunday, making him the most successful champion at Flushing Meadows this decade above Novak Djokovic (3). The thrilling five-set win over Russian Daniil Medvedev gave Nadal his 19th Major and puts him just one short of record-holder Roger Federer. To be sure, the surface is still his least favourite. Last month, when he won the Rogers Cup in Montreal, it was the first time in his illustrious career that he had defended a hard court title. As recently as in 2017-18, there was a stretch during which he retired or withdrew from 11 of the 12 hard court events he had entered. However, the latest triumph showed what a healthy, well-rested and mentally sharp Nadal could achieve. While in 2018 he had left New York limping, after three long, bruising encounters, Nadal this time, at least until the final, was supremely efficient. The court did its bit too; slightly below medium-pace, it gave Nadal a fraction extra to set up his shots and at the same time rewarded his recently acquired aggressive streak.
The success is also another indicator that the Big 3 of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, all in their thirties, are still the hegemonic class in men's tennis. Medvedev appeared to usher in the next generation for a fleeting set or two but couldn't deny a 12th straight Major for the celebrated trio. In fact, an astonishing 51 of the last 59 Slams dating back to the 2005 French Open have been cornered by the three. What it now does is set up a tantalising endgame in the race to most Grand Slam titles. It is a competition that the protagonists Federer (20), Nadal (19) and Djokovic (16) attest to being least interested in. But coming as it does when the threat from the younger crop appears genuine, it is a compelling scenario for the fans at least. On the women's side, however, the thrill of novelty continued unabated with Canadian teen sensation Bianca Andreescu becoming the latest first-time Slam winner. In her remarkable straight sets victory over Serena Williams, the 19-year-old played with the kind of intelligence, imagination and audacity that is usually the preserve of the sport's very best, as she left the American legend's dream of a record-equalling 24th Major in tatters, yet again.
Amazon fires
We now know the obverse side of the "Amazon forest fire" story and the need to prioritise fossil fuel emission reduction (Editorial page, "The Amazon fires, an alarm that lacks proportion", September 10). However, we should not forget that the Amazon forests are the lungs of the earth and their conservation is a must. There can be no quibbling about this. The politics over the cause of the fires must end. And is there anyone who is championing the cause of the natives whose only source of livelihood is the Amazon forest? The world must get together and get the Brazilian leader to see reason in saving this jewel of the earth.
Praveen B.,
Chief Justice's transfer
Too much is being read into the "unusual transfer" of the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, Justice Vijaya Kamlesh Tahilramani to the Meghalaya High Court (Editorial, September 10). Instead of looking at it as a step done with the best intention of leveraging her experience of having served at various courts across India, the hue and cry over it shows our scant regard for the collective decision of the collegium. After all, it is just a transfer of a Chief Justice of one High Court to another. Criticising the prerogative of the collegium that is mandated to make such judicial transfers is uncalled for.
R. Prabhu Raj,
It is only the justice delivery system and the public at large that stand to lose, being unable to make use of Justice Tahilramani's vast judicial experience (Page 1, "Don't wish to discuss my transfer or resignation, says Tahilramani", September 10). Though it is arguable that "one high court is as good as any other", perhaps the collegium could have considered her request to roll back its decision.
A. Jainulabdeen,
During my service as the head of a division in a Central government department, I often encountered several cases of refusal by staff under my charge to get transferred to "undesirable areas" — North-east India, Jammu and Kashmir, or even the Andaman Islands even though they were liable for transfer anywhere in India according to service rules. The person concerned would try to move heaven and earth to get the order cancelled, with the result that posts in these areas remained unfilled, thereby delaying development. More often than not, such a transfer was not viewed as in public interest but as being biased, punitive in nature and unusual. There is need to change this attitude. Perhaps Justice Tahilramani would have sent out a powerful signal had she accepted the order.
N. Rama Rao,
New traffic rules
There needs to be a relook of the new traffic rules with their provision for huge fines and being enthusiastically enforced across India. If deterrence is the main objective, then the fines too should be realistic. However, for dangerous and drunken driving or wilful violation of traffic rules, the fines may be reasonably higher. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the dismal condition of roads and the absence of signalling at many intersections are responsible for numerous accidents. Moreover, fines are seldom imposed for vehicles that emit plumes of smoke from tailpipes, those without functioning lights and horn or even visible number plates.

Always excellent.
We came her for my wife's birthday and it was perfect. The food, service, and ambiance was terrific.
Great experience overall. A real European Bistro feeling in Pilsen. Great food. Very attentive service. Even Valet service was excellent.
The entire staff is phenomenal.
The food is always perfection.
One of, IF NOT the BEST French restaurant in Chicago!
A absolute dining must for myself once each season.
Cozy and delicious
Would have had another bottle of wine and dessert but preoccupied with other duties.
A favorite contemporary French restaurant in Chicago.
Good food at a reasonable price. French onion soup was brown and crusty on top but barely warm below. Disappointed in it.
Service was good but not great. Room pretty noisy.
Always a pleasure!
Chez Jöel is my go to spot for an excellent meal / service, great ambiance and noise level is good for a business meeting. My guests always compliment the caliber of food and service.
The scallops were not as good as I was expecting them to be. But fantastic service
Always impressed with our meals and service here.
Outstanding food and service, very fairly priced especially when you take into account that this is such a highly rated restaurant. We're so glad we found it!
I would give a rave review on this restaurant except for one thing. We each ordered a glass of pinot noir and the wine was decidedly below average. I should have sent it back. For the price of a glass they could buy an OK whole bottle of pinot. Since everything else here was so good, I couldn't figure out the subpar wine. Again, I fault myself for not sending it back. That said, this is a really fine place to dine.
Pleasant atmosphere. Excellent server. Good food. Nice variety menu. Even the valet was nice. Good quality mussels, excellent beef tenderloin, good lamb. All nicely prepared and presented.
Love the food, the location, and the service.
This was our fourth time. For our friends it was the first, and they thanked us for introducing them to Chez Joël. Two of us had the rack of lamb and the other two had the duck breast and confit, all excellent. The restaurant, like the food, is casual but elegant - unpretentious but skillfully and attractively presented.
The setting is lovely but the greeting by the host was sterile, and some of the tables are too close together to sit comfortably. That said, the food was delicious and the service was relatively timely.
Family holiday celebration!
This is the second time we have been to Chez Joel and I don't know why it took us so long to get back. Our party of 5 had a nice round table at the window to watch the liveliness of Taylor St. The lamb chops were perhaps the best ever. The grilled salmon was also delicious. We had a birthday to celebrate and they brought us a nice complimentary dessert with a candle but we also enjoyed a chocolate dessert.
Service was attentive. We brought a fine bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape and paid the $25 corkage fee. We also bought an excellent bottle of Grenache from Gigondas that was fairly priced at $57. They have a number of value priced wines. Chez Joel is a wonderful restaurant and I look forward to returning soon.
The restaurant had a delicious mushroom soup that i absolutely loved. The steak i had was grilled perfectly and the fries were delicious. Would definitely go again.
A hidden French gem in the Italian food hood. Wonderful food and service. If you want to be able to talk to the people you are dining with, this is the place. Not flashy or trendy, just spot on, superb execution. Highly recommended.
Was very warm and inviting. Menu was French, as expected, with good choices-well prepared and right size and fantastic taste. Well worth coming back. Very reasonable prices
scallops were amazing, but for the price was kind of surprised there were only 3. i ordered bouillabaisse and while there was tons of seafood it was quite overcooked. they did comp us some creme brûlée. Also wait staff not very attentive. had to ask for water refills.
nice-quaint-off beaten path and reasonable for chicago--excellent food
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding and the recommendations were excellent. I will definitely visit the restaurant again.
I've been a fan of this restaurant since it opened. I always enjoy bringing newbies with and making them Chez Joel regulars. The wait staff is very attentive and seems to know what you need before you do. The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful.
Our son wanted to propose to his girlfriend here a few nights ago, because it was where they had their first date, and Omar and Chez Joel were amazing at helping us make it perfect!! Gem of a restaurant!!
Excellent. Love this restaurant
This has been an annual birthday celebration that is always our favorite! The food was the best Fenech cuisine and the atmosphere is quaint and charming.
Everything was great. We came for out 19th. From being seated promptly with our reservation. To our waiter Omar "Mr. Black Label" who was outstanding. I cannot stress how good the food was. Thank you for the great memory of our celebration. We will be coming back. My wife did say the ladies room was in poor condition, I thought the men's room was fine.
The food was so, so good. The presentation was excellent, and the service was exceptional. Also, although the restaurant was busy, the noise level was low so we could actually carry on a conversation at our table without screaming at one another. What a rare gift!
Excellent — as always!
We always go to Chez Joel when my sister visits from Georgia (and plenty of times between her visits). The food is so consistently good! Always a pleasure to dine here. We also love the service! Thank you. Thank you!
Great food and great service. Our server was fast and amazing ! Very attentive !
Nice place, good food, especially the bread, it's warm and crunchy crust, so good. We ordered the duck breast and scallop, very good
Always wonderful - love this restaurant!
I have dined many times at Chez Joel, and the food and service are always consistently excellent. The appetizer mussels are phenomenal, as are the escargot. All of the classic French main dishes are wonderful, as are the steak and fish dishes. This restaurant has the best creme brulee that I have had anywhere, including France!
Chez Joel is a Chicago gem, and is a must-dine for any aficionado of fine French food.
For the first time in the many years I have been coming to Chez Joel, my friend and I were disappointed. We waited a very long time for our entrees (people around us who had arrived later than we had were receiving their dinners while we still sat waiting) and when the food arrived it was lukewarm - had obviously been sitting in the kitchen awhile) In addition, my canard was not tasty and my friend who had ordered the steak au poivre said it wasn't very peppery.
I will return as this must have been an "off" night and my previous experiences were all excellent and up to this point Chez Joel has always been consistent in good service and good food.

Social media is one of the most crucial parts of our life. Not just our social life, but even our business is also getting dependent on it. But what are the things that are needed for a successful social media business campaign? That's what we are here to discuss.
But before we start, let's clear a few things about social media.
What is Social Media?
When I say Social Media, I am not limited to facebook or twitter. Social media is a community of all the social sites there is that people can connect both personally and professionally. Even end to end texting applications like Kik, WhatsApp and hike are also social media part.
Social Media and Business:
Social Media and Business are like a new teenage couple about to go on their first date on Valentine's day. In short, they are entirely inter-related to each other.
While people consider social media to be a trap. It is a good thing for both the consumers, the producers and the suppliers. How? Let's find out.
1. The consumer-producer bridge:
Social media for business can make marketers target customers who need a specific product. You may think that Social Media Marketing is a manipulative technique, but it's not. Come to think of it, how many times do you end up buying something from a departmental store that you don't need when you visit there to buy something else? But if you are featured the things that you want and with a better variety, you get saved from the excess trap shopping. You can use the same Social media marketing for startups and see if they work for your SMM strategies. Make your list of SMM for Small business.
2. Informative shopping:
SMM strategies can make you shop with a lot of information that you mostly don't get during regular shopping. SMM for Small business includes more detailed knowledge about the product. A wide variety of list to choose from and a list of feature to compare every product. The social media for a business not only makes the big names in the industry feature their product but even the underdogs get a good fighting chance. With Social media marketing for startups, you get a better product base to choose from as a consumer. And if you are a seller, you get a chance to fight with some of the big giants in the industry.
3. Value for Money:
You don't need to buy something from the local store that costs a hip-shaking amount of cash. You just go online, check out from a vast variety and pick the correct one. The best part of this deal is that you not only get it cheap; you also have an option to return if there is any need necessary. And all that from the comfort of your room.
Which Media for What Business?
I am considering that you are a seller and want to start your social media marketing for your startup. Do you know what you need to do? I am sure you don't.
The first thing that you need to do is to understand what SMM is.
SMM for Small business can give you a fair chance to fight in the industry. But if you go in as a newbie, you will end up killing your investment and your business.
So, what social media for business you can consider?
I will say that Facebook is an excellent place to start. You get good initial learning and understanding from Facebook.
YouTube is another excellent place for you to do it. As the traffic generated is enormous with new content contributors joining every day, it is the best place for you to promote your business there.
But if you want good results, hire an expert. You social media marketing for a startup will not be as efficient to that of an expert. An expert can use some of the best SMM strategies and improvise according to the need of the market.
How to do it?
Now, what are the things that you need to target for a great SMM campaign? There are four significant steps.
1. Branding:
Before jumping into the whole 'buying' thing, see if there are people who know you. In simple words, would you instead buy from a randomly pop-up on social media or try some reputed site that you have seen a lot lately?
A simple process follows branding.
The more followers you attract, the better your brand gets.
2. Visuals:
Videos and Pictures are more engaging today than write-ups on social media. So, you need to play that way. But instead of selling, try to create something appealing. A motivational video, a life-changing story, a community post, fun to watch infographic show or simply a comedy post.
Your objective should be to create something that's trending and can bring more people in.
3. Traffic:
So, how do you bring traffic to your site? The first thing is, it is not about you. No one will help you unless you help them. Create content that can help people and connect them to communities. Create polls, contests and votes to know what are the trending things are. Study the like and dislikes and make sure that you reach an inevitable growth in traffic every day.
4. Audience and Remarketing:
If you can do all the three things right, you will have the biggest challenge to face then. If you are having an audience base of purchase and go, you have to find potential customers every time. If that be the case, you will end up losing a lot of money on marketing.
But if you remarket your products and make sure that there is an option or a reason for your audience to share the product with a potential customer that they know, you will have a more profit-to-expense ratio.
In the end, here is a rough idea of how to do a successful SMM marketing for your start-up.
Social media is a one stop solution for all Business to reach relevant audience and engage through social platforms for long term.

PLEASE consider renting an instrumentWe use the Zeswitz Music Store for all rentals.You are not required to rent from them, you can shop around other music stores in the area if you choose.WHY RENT??
- All repairs/replacements are included in the rental cost. If a string breaks, or even if the neck of the instrument snaps in half, a new instrument is sent to you at no charge.
- String instruments are sized to fit different heights. Your 3rd grader will need a 1/2 size violin, but when he gets to 4th or 5th grade he will need a 3/4 size. When he gets to middle school he will move into a full size.
- The monthly rental fees are put towards the eventual purchase of a full size instrument.
- This is a chance to try an instrument out without being stuck with it if your child decides the instrument is just not a right fit for him.
If you choose to buy an instrument online please do research before purchasing it. Often times online retailers rely on the fact that parents might not know what to look for when purchasing an instrument. I would be glad to offer you the names of reputable brands of string instruments.
- PLEASE do NOT purchase the Mendini OR Cecilio brand instruments. These instruments do not come in playing condition and need to be sent in for numerous repairs before they are playable.
- PLEASE do NOT purchase A '4/4' or "full size' instrument. This full size WILL NOT fit an elementary school student, it is too big. Most students do not grow into full size instruments until late middle school.
- PLEASE do NOT purchase an instrument in any various colors.

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take our second look at the Adidas AdiZero line this time with the Washington Capitals home jersey, and with a little help from our friends at Cool Hockey, we got it prepared for the opportunity of a lifetime.
I'm not going to lie, but the Adidas jerseys are really nice and probably have the best quality out of all the jerseys I've gotten my hands on. The fabric is one of the best I've ever felt for a hockey jersey, and I have quite a few authentic jerseys including a game worn jersey.
Obviously there is no distinct changes between the Reebok version and the Adidas version for the Capitals home and road jerseys. One of the best features though is thanks to Cool Hockey, and that is the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals patch. It had been 20 years since the last time the Capitals made it to the Finals, and to have this moment was special for me and I had to get the patch on the jersey to commerate the moment.
Got a hockey jersey in your collection you'd like to share? Let us know, and we can add it to our TXHT Jersey Share series.

Insurers' outsourcing arrangements – recent guidance from Swedish regulatorSweden | 26 November 2019
Almost four years after the implementation of the EU Solvency II Directive in Sweden, insurers are still devoting significant resources to identifying, understanding and putting into practice the complex regulatory legislation governing outsourcing arrangements. This article outlines some of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's recent clarifications and comments on outsourcing and the main requirements surrounding insurers' outsourcing arrangements.
Authorisation requirements for third-country insurers: implications of a hard BrexitSweden | 16 July 2019
In the event of a hard Brexit, UK insurers must obtain authorisation as third-country insurers in Sweden in order to offer their products to the Swedish market. Notably, insurers that are uncertain of whether the business which they intend to conduct constitutes insurance business in Sweden and is thus subject to authorisation can apply for a preliminary ruling from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority on the issue.
New guidance on classification of insurance‑based investment productsSweden | 30 April 2019
The Council for Advance Tax Rulings has further clarified the demarcation between insurance products and other investment products under Swedish law. The council found that a unit-linked insurance plan under which the beneficiary was entitled to 99% of the invested capital on realisation of the insured risk and the policyholder received no risk compensation during the insurance period did not constitute an insurance product under Swedish law.
