Akshay Kumar: I want to do more realistic cinema like Baby
The superstar talks about his latest Neeraj Pandey film…
Akshay Kumar is a no-nonsense man. Reticent and hesitant, you hardly get him talking unless he's totally on the go! But when he's in his spirits, he can be the funniest to talk to.

Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha's 'Joker' to release late next year
Shirish Kunder's ambitious 3D film now has a release date, but that clashes with the release of Vikram Bhatt's successful Raaz franchise
Apparently Shirish Kunder hasn't learned much from his past mistakes. Remember Jaan-e-man, his debut film, which had Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar playing the lead roles? He released it alongside Shahrukh Khan's Don. No wonder the film tanked, even though it did manage to get some vibe for the director going in the industry. His latest 3D film, Joker, we hear, is being released alongside Raaz 3, despite the fact that the Bhatts tried reasoning with Shirish. Click here to read more

There's plenty to do in Grindavík, from exploring the town's fish trade history, taking a dip in the giant manmade geothermal Blue Lagoon, to outdoor fun.
Húsafell is a tiny village with ample to do. Surrounded by glaciers, ample hiking opportunities, and miles of lava fields, it welcomes visitors year-round.

The offbeat village of Cahuita is an in-vogue destination for backpackers and escapist vacationers who like things simple. What you get are golden- and black-sand beaches backed by coconut palms, an offshore coral reef, and an immersion in Creole culture, including Rastafarians, with their dreadlocks and a lifestyle that revolves around reggae, Rasta, and—discreetly—reefer.
Whether you're looking to relax on beautiful beaches, spot wildlife in a sanctuary setting, enjoy an adventure tour on an ATV, or simply commune with yourself through massage or yoga, Nosara will cater to your every whim. Here's a roundup of all the things to do in this classic Costa Rica destination.
Once you see Culebra's craggy coastline of hidden coves, private beaches, coral outcroppings, and cays, it's easy to imagine why pirates liked to hide out here. Playa Flamenco is the island's most celebrated beach, and rightly so. But there are many less populated and more remote beaches to be found for those willing to hike in.
The small yet booming port town of Quepos is the gateway for travelers heading to Costa Rica's Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, seven kilometers south over a sinuous mountain road lined with hotels, restaurants, and bars. It's a great base for all kinds of outdoor activities and adventures from sportfishing to horseback riding. You can mangrove estuaries, wildlife habitats, embark on an in-depth farm ecotour experience, and all of that is just for starters.
Lazing on a beach or contemplating museum displays is all right, but some travelers crave a little more action. The Yucatán has plenty to offer active travelers, including kiteboarding, fly-fishing, kayaking, and mountain biking.

Though charter schools are fiercely debated in Ohio, too rarely are the voices of charter leaders actually heard. This report from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute surveys the leaders of the highest-performing Buckeye charters to take stock of their views on sector quality, accountability, and replication and growth.
The survey, conducted by the nonpartisan FDR Group, was fielded to the principals of 109 charter schools, yielding a 70 percent response rate.
We hope that Quality in Adversity will help lift these leaders' voices, so that their firsthand knowledge can overcome counterproductive rhetoric and entrenched positions.
If you have questions about the book, please email Aaron Churchill....
For the past year, Ohio policymakers have been grappling with the issue of deregulating public schools. But what does deregulation mean--and how should policymakers go about doing it?
In this new report--authored by Education First's Paolo DeMaria, Brinton S. Ramsey, and Susan R. Bodary--the Fordham Institute calls for a sweeping deregulation agenda. By cutting through the red tape, on-the-ground leaders will be empowered to recruit, develop, and manage a high-performing staff; innovate new models for education; and custom-tailor their educational approach to the unique needs of students.
The suggestions for commonsense reform include:
The report also recommends the creation of a simple process that allows district boards to waive certain state regulations and the formation of a high-level working group that would identify and evaluate ideas for further...
Recently I had the privilege of listening to practitioners from Ohio's high-performing districts who shared how they're achieving success. These districts are earning A grades on their state report cards in notoriously difficult areas such as closing achievement gaps, effectively serving gifted students and students with disabilities, and increasing student achievement across the board.
The series of events was hosted by Battelle for Kids in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Education, and I was able to hear from five of the exemplary districts: Marysville, Orange City, Oak Hills Local, Solon City, and Mechanicsburg. Here are the important commonalities I found among the strategies discussed.
1. Plus time
This strategy goes by a different name depending on which district you visit: "no-new-instruction time," "flex time," "plus time," and "support classes" were all terms I heard, but the basic idea was the same. Each of these high flyers altered their daily schedule so that students received around forty minutes a day of either enrichment or remediation. To be clear, this isn't an additional class in which students learn new information; instead, this is a...
Editor's note: On May 6, Fordham contributor Andy Smarick delivered testimony before an Ohio education subcommittee on Senate Bill 148, a critical piece of legislation that would help clean up the state's troubled charter sector. With his permission, we're reproducing his remarks.
Thank you Chair Hite, Vice Chair Sawyer, and subcommittee members for allowing me to offer some thoughts on your ongoing efforts to improve charter schooling in Ohio. Congratulations and thank you for the important progress that's reflected in the legislation being considered here today.
My name is Andy Smarick, and I'm a partner at Bellwether Education Partners, a nonprofit organization committed to improving K–12 schooling, especially for high-need students. I've worked on education policy for most of my career—at the White House, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. House of Representatives, a state department of education, and a state legislature.
I'm also a strong advocate for high-quality charter schooling. I helped start a charter school for low-income students, I helped found the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, and I've written extensively about charter schooling, including a book on how—when done right—it can dramatically improve student results in cities.
I was a coauthor of the report published late...
The education components of Governor Kasich's proposed budget—and the House's subsequent revisions—made a big splash in Ohio's news outlets. Much of the attention has been devoted to the House's (unwise) moves to eliminate PARCC funding and their rewrite of Kasich's funding formula changes. Amidst all this noise, however, are a few other education issues in the House's revisions that have slipped by largely unnoticed. Let's examine a few.
Nationally normed vs. criterion-referenced tests
As part of its attempt to get rid of PARCC, the House added text dictating that state assessments "shall be nationally normed, standardized assessments." This is worrisome, as there is a big difference between norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests.
A norm-referenced test determines scores by comparing a student's performance to the entire pool of test takers. Each student's test score is compared to other students in order to determine their percentile ranking in the distribution of test takers. Examples of norm-referenced tests are the Iowa Test of Basic Skills or the Stanford 10 exams. A criterion-referenced test, on the other hand, is scored on an absolute scale. Instead of being compared to other students, students are compared against a standard of achievement (i.e.,...
School closures should never be undertaken lightly, be they district or charter schools. Academic troubles, a fall in enrollment, economic problems, and a myriad of other issues can push the issue to the forefront. Under such times of duress, policymakers and education officials are forced to ask a difficult question: Does closing a school cause more harm than good, especially for students?
Report Co-Author, Stéphane Lavertu
Today, Fordham released a new study called School Closures and Student Achievement that seeks to answer this very question. At a breakfast event on April 28th that attracted around fifty Ohio education leaders, the report's co-author, Dr. Stéphane Lavertu, presented a summary of the study's findings. These findings showed that three years after closure, displaced students typically make significant academic gains.
After Dr. Lavertu's presentation, Chad moderated a panel of policymakers and practitioners who discussed the findings and policy implications. The panel consisted of: the Honorable Nan Whaley, Mayor of Dayton; Tracie Craft, Deputy Director of Advocacy, Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO); Stephanie Groce, former member Columbus City Schools Board...
Intra-district choice has long been a type of school choice supported by many people who don't really like school choice. Since neither students nor funding leave their boundaries, district officials have fewer problems allowing families to choose their schools. But intra-district choice is also complicated. A lack of quality information about available schools, the absence of a simple system-wide method of applying to those schools, and the added burden of transportation challenges can bring the potential of intra-district choice to a screeching halt. However, there are school districts that have taken these issues head-on and offered valuable, innovative solutions. Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) is a shining example.
During the 2013–14 school year, CPS made the transition to high schools that serve students between the seventh and twelfth grades. CPS offers some compelling academic reasons for the switch, but they also utilized the transition to create high schools of choice. Instead of assigning sixth graders to a high school based on their home addresses, CPS permits students to choose their high school. Each high school offers a variety of programs, classes, extracurriculars, and services that represent unique learning environments and opportunities. All schools offer college preparatory curriculum aligned to Ohio's...
School Closures and Student Achievement: An Analysis of Ohio's Urban District and Charter Schools examines 198 school closures that occurred between 2006 and 2012 in the Ohio 'Big Eight' urban areas (Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Youngstown). The research included 120 closed district-run schools and seventy-eight closed charter schools. Taken together, these closures directly affected 22,722 students—disproportionately low-income, low-achieving, and minority students—who were in grades 3-8 at the point of closure.
The study reveals that children displaced by closure make significant academic gains on state math and reading exams after their school closes.
Three years after closure, the research found that displaced students overall made the following cumulative gains:
Further, the study reveals that students who attended a higher-quality school after closure made even greater progress. Three years after closure, displaced students who transferred to a higher-quality school made the following cumulative gains:
Thank you Chair Hite, Vice Chair Sawyer, and subcommittee members for giving me the opportunity to testify today in support of House Bill 2 and Senate Bill 148.
My name is Chad Aldis. I am the vice president for Ohio policy and advocacy at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a nonprofit research and policy organization with offices in Columbus, Dayton, and Washington, D.C. It's worth noting, given the subject matter of my testimony, that Fordham's Dayton office is also a charter school sponsor.
I'd like to start by commending Governor Kasich and legislative leaders from both chambers and both parties for taking on the issue of charter school reform. Despite bipartisan support for charter schools in much of the nation, they remain a deeply divisive issue in Ohio. My hope is that this bill could start to change that. At the end of the day, we all want our students to have access to high-quality schools.
Organizationally, Fordham has long focused on the need to improve accountability and performance in all Ohio schools. Last year, after seeing an onslaught of troubling stories about charter schools, we commissioned research to learn more about the problems...

Hi my name is Carmen. I have been teaching music for 10 years to all ages and levels. I make sure my students are able to play a song in the first lesson and customize the lesson to their own goals. I have experince playing in orchestras, trios, quartets, rock and alternative bands as well as teaching classical cello. I have knowledge of many different methods but tailor curriculm based on the students goals. My students have played in orchestras, symphonies, jazz trios and bands
*** Lesson Details ***
I strongly believe that, if every child would be provided with an ideal environment, would gain extraordinary ability. There are no exceptions. No one can tell how able man is by the nature. What is known is the ability that is spoiled or developed. It cannot be denied that most children speak their native languages beautifully by learning about 3000-4000 words by age 5 or 6. Nothing can clearer demonstrate of the original power of the human mind. Through the years of studying and teaching music I realized that this is the most important concept for developing each kid's talent, to increase his or her ability to the maximum. Therefore I am combining the great methods of teaching violin. The Suzuki method and the Russian school method. Suzuki method helps at the earliest stage of playing an instrument and I am using later Russian school method for more advanced period of studying.
*** Online Lessons: Intermediate and Advanced students ONLY
I started playing Violin at age five which lead me to study a bachelor of performing arts at WAAPA, Australia.
From there my music has taken me all around the world, playing in Orchestras in Australia, Europe and now America. The US government granted me an extraordinary ability visa in music, recognizing me as one of the best performers from my home country which allows me to teach and perform music in America.
I love passing on my knowledge to new students to help them grow as musicians, nothing is more satisfying to see someone learn how to play an instrument and watch them really enjoy the process.
I teach violin lessons to students of all ages and ability levels!
I have been teaching violin privately and in the classroom for several years now. I am finishing up my education in violin performance, and I will be continuing to a master's degree in violin performance within the next year.
I try my best to adapt to my students individual learning styles. Everybody is different, and it's my goal as a teacher to have my students reach an understanding for music and hopefully grow to have a love for it as well.

Comments about Earthenware 5-String Fretless Viper Electric Violin:
AWESOME! I couldn't be happier, unless another one shows up.
I have to say that I was a little apprehensive about buying a violin of this caliber online sight unseen. Order went through no problem, and it arrived ahead of time via UPS. Again, apprehension because UPS is known for destroying things, much less a violin. Got the package opened it up and everything was not only perfect, but I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I looked over the instrument with a fine tooth comb and plugged it in. Play beautifully! Already played it in a couple shows with absolutely no issues.
As for the Viper itself, I cannot say enough good things about it. It is THE new way to play a violin. All tension on the neck and shoulders is now eliminated and you are free to play stress free. It takes about a day or so to get used to not having to grip it with your neck and shoulders, but once you are past that, the sky is the limit! I have three traditional violins and a viola, this five string is my last violin unless I buy another Wood Viper.
Top Notch!
Little pricey, but once you buy one, you'll be very glad you did.

The Hatnua party has said it will offer its support in the legislative marathon involving the 'Disputed laws", in exchange for Coalition support on MK Eliezer Stern's proposed Conversion Law, according to a report in Ma'ariv.
According to the report, Hatnua will offer its full support to the Coalition factions as regards to the equality of burden, referendum, and governance laws, in exchange for the Coalition's full support of Stern's proposed conversion bill that would permit rabbis who are not experts in the Jewish laws pertaining to conversion to, nevertheless, conduct conversions without sufficient oversight.

With the release of his much-anticipated major-label debut "good kid, m.A.A.d city," Kendrick Lamar [1] bows on multiple charts beginning with R&B/Hip-Hop Albums [2] where the set opens at No. 1 with 241,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The top-spot opening comes three years after he first charted with 2010's "Overly Dedicated" (No. 72 peak) and continued with last year's "Section.80" (No. 22 peak). To better understand the young rapper's progression, consider that "Overly Dedicated" opened with less than 1,000 copies and "Section.80" with just over 5,000.
Kendrick Lamar, 'good kid, m.A.A.d city': Track-By-Track Review [3]
The new album's success is partly attributed to lead single "Swimming Pools (Drank)" which jumps 14-5 on R&B/Hip-Hop in its 12th week, marking his first top 10 hit.
Elsewhere on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, Brandy [5]'s "Two Eleven" slips a rung to No. 2 in its second week (22,000; down 65%), Miguel [6]'s "Kaleidoscope Dream" falls 2-3 (18,000; down 20%) and 2 Chainz [7]'s "Based on a T.R.U. Story" climbs 6-4 (12,000; down 2%). Rounding out the top five is the soundtrack to "Man With the Iron Fists," which punches its way to a No. 5 bow with 12,000 sold. The set is executive produced by RZA [8] and features contributions from the Black Keys [9], Wu-Tang Clan [10], Corinne Bailey Rae [11], Wiz Khalifa [12] and Kanye West [13].
>Over on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs [14] chart, Rihanna [15]'s "Diamonds" crowns the tally for a fourth straight week while the rest of the top three is also stationary: "Clique" (by Kanye West, Jay-Z [16] and Big Sean [17]) is steady at No. 2 while Miguel's "Adorn" is a non-mover at No. 3.
Alicia Keys [18]' "Girl On Fire" (featuring Nicki Minaj [19]) jumps four rungs to a new peak of No. 4 thanks in part a big 46% gain in download sales. The cut moved 75,000 downloads last week, up from the 52,000 in the week previous. It was the second-biggest selling R&B/Hip-Hop song last week -- only Rihanna's "Diamonds" loomed larger (122,000; up 4%).
As previously mentioned, Kendrick Lamar zips 14-5 with "Swimming Pools (Drank)," while French Montana [20]'s "Pop That" falls 5-6. Kanye West's "Mercy" (with Big Sean, Pusha T [21] and 2 Chainz) slides 4-7 and Juicy J [22]'s "Bandz a Make Her Dance" rises 8-7.
Frank Ocean [23]'s "Thinkin Bout You" ascends three rungs, returning to its peak of No. 9, while 2 Chainz's "No Lie" (featuring Drake) falls 6-10

In this report, we update the Kamakura Corporation analysis of trading volume in single name credit default swaps as reported by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). In today's analysis, we look at 181 weeks of single name credit default swap trading volume data from the week ended July 16, 2010 through December 27, 2013 for 1,179 reference names.
Conclusion: We continue to find minimal "end user" trade volume for the overwhelming majority of the reference names. The exception is the trading of credit default swaps on sovereign reference names. The lack of volume in the single name credit default swap market has important implications for the profitability of dealers like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), and many other very large financial institutions. The lack of volume should also lead any sophisticated investor, institutional or retail, to reject journalists' use of CDS quotes unless those quoted figures are reported alongside actual CDS trading volume.
The Analysis
Prior reports from Kamakura Corporation on overall volume in the single name credit default swap market were published for the 155 weeks ended June 28, 2013, the 129 weeks ended December 30, 2012, and the 103 weeks ended June 29, 2012.
In this analysis, we make use of the degree to which trading in single name credit default swaps was trading between two dealers as defined by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). In this study, we use the percentage of dealer-dealer trades still open in the DTCC trade warehouse as of January 10, 2014: 72.48%.
We analyze CDS trading volume for the 1,179 reference names for which CDS trades were reported by DTCC during the 181 week period ended December 27, 2013. The weekly trade information is from the Section IV reports from DTCC. The data is described this way in the DTCC document "Explanation of Trade Information Warehouse Data" (May, 2011):
"Section IV (Weekly Transaction Activity) provides weekly activity where market participants were engaging in market risk transfer activity. The transaction types include new trades between two parties, a termination of an existing transaction, or the assignment of an existing transaction to a third party. Section IV excludes transactions which did not result in a change in the market risk position of the market participants, and are not market activity. For example, central counterparty clearing, and portfolio compression both terminate existing transactions and re-book new transactions or amend existing transactions. These transactions still maintain the same risk profile and consequently are not included as 'market risk transfer activity.'"
Our emphasis is not on gross trading volume. As mentioned above, dealer-dealer volume is 72.48% in the single name credit default swap market and it would be nearly costless for dealers to inflate gross trading volume by trading among themselves. Instead, we focus on "end user" trading where at least one of the parties to a trade is not a dealer. Accordingly, we make the following adjustments to the weekly number of trades reported by DTCC for each reference name:
- We divide each weekly number of trades by 5 to convert weekly volume to an average daily volume for that week
- From that gross daily average number of trades, we classify 72.48% of trades as "dealer-dealer" trades, using the January 10, 2014 "dealer-dealer" share of trades in the DTCC trade warehouse.
- The remaining 27.52% is classified as daily average "non-dealer" volume, the focus of the reporting below.
Daily Non-Dealer Trading Volume for 1,144 Reference Names
Before reporting on the 1,179 reference names in the DTCC warehouse, it is important to note a very important fact. Kamakura Risk Information Services' default probability service produces daily default probabilities on 34,639 public firms around the world, including 5,585 in the United States. The DTCC weekly reports were designed to report the top 1,000 reference names ranked by daily credit default swap trading volume. In none of the 181 weeks, however, were there as many as 1,000 reference names reported by DTCC. In essence, the weekly reports contain every reference name in which there was non-zero trading volume in the DTCC. For all other reference names, then, trading volume was zero. This means that almost 33,500 of the public firms in KRIS had zero credit default swap trading volume over the entire 181 week period studied. We now turn to the 1,179 reference names for which there was at least 1 credit default swap trade during the 181 week period.
We first analyzed daily average non-dealer CDS trading volume by calculating the daily average number of contracts traded, as described above, for all 1,179 reference names for the entire 181 week period. The distribution of the reference names by non-dealer daily average trading volume contains some very surprising results, shown in this histogram of 181 week daily average of non-dealer contracts traded per day:
Among the surprising conclusions are these facts:
- Only 4 reference names averaged more than 10 non-dealer trades per day
- Only 19 reference names averaged more than 5 non-dealer trades per day
- 99% of references names averaged less than 6.13 non-dealer trades per day
- 95% of reference names averaged less than 3.40 non-dealer trades per day
- 75% of reference names averaged less than 1.48 non-dealer trades per day
- The median reference name averaged 0.78 non-dealer trades per day
These trading volumes are very small to say the least, and it continues to be astonishing that financial journalists have not made the appropriate disclaimers when quoting "CDS prices" (many of which are quotes, not trades) for specific reference names. The chart below lists the top 25 reference names ranked by the non-dealer daily average number of trades over the 181 week period. We also display the 181 week daily average non-dealer notional principal traded. Please note that the non-dealer percentage of trades is only available for the entire warehouse of deals at DTCC. We have assumed the same non-dealer percentage applies to each reference name as a first approximation.
The most actively traded reference name was the Kingdom of Spain, for whom gross weekly trading volume (including dealer-dealer trades) is graphed here in terms of contracts:
The weekly gross notional amount of trading in Kingdom of Spain is graphed in the next chart:
In order to better understand the data, we next analyzed each week of data for all 1,179 reference names. In aggregate, there should be 181 x 1,179 = 213,399 "reference name-weeks" of data reported, but there was no data reported on 57,399 occasions because there were no trades in that week for that reference name. Dividing these 57,399 observations by 1,179 reference names shows that, on average over the 181 week period, there were 49 weeks for each reference name in which there were zero CDS trades. The daily average non-dealer trade volumes for the 156,000 non-zero weekly observations have the following distribution:
Again, this analysis allows us to draw some more surprising conclusions about all weekly trading in single name CDS for all 1,179 reference names, and a total of 213,399 potential observations:
- 26.9% of the 213,399 potential observations showed zero trading volume
- Of the 156,000 non-zero observations, we found
- 99% of the observations showed less than 9.63 non-dealer trades per day
- 95% of the observations showed less than 4.84 non-dealer trades per day
- 75% of the observations showed less than 1.65 non-dealer trades per day
- The median number of trades per day, excluding the "no trade" observations, was 0.66 contracts
After reviewing the non-dealer trading volume reference name by reference name, we repeat the warning from our January 4, 2012 analysis: a sophisticated observer should assume that both traded CDS spreads and quoted spreads are highly likely to have been affected by collusion. Indeed, the first lawsuits in this regard were filed in 2013. Any other assumption could be hazardous to your wallet.
