You bet! On Diwali, teen patti wins over pokerOctober 30th, 2010 - 1:08 pm ICT by IANS
By Radhika Bhirani
New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) What is the favourite card game of Indians on Diwali? As much as people like to deal in poker throughout the year, their love for gambling with 'teen patti' - also called 'flash' - in the festive season remains unmatched.
"During Diwali, it's teen patti for me, otherwise it's poker!" says Delhi-based photographer Avin Chhabra.
Many boys and girls, mostly above 18 years of age, are nearly addicted to poker thanks to social networking sites, especially Facebook, where games like Zynga Poker and Poker HoldEm Face are extremely popular.
Some even own poker sets, which they either bring from abroad or purchase from local shops for around Rs.2,000.
But Diwali is the time for teen patti parties, where everyone can participate, they say.
"For starters, poker is a very international game…something we've taken from the US and casinos. But teen patti or flash (as most people call it), is something we've grown up watching our parents and friends playing. It just feels more desi and during the festival, it's a must," said 23-year-old Archit Anand.
Chhabra, who also prefers playing poker, says people enjoy teen patti because "it is easier to play".
"Teen patti is more fun because of variations (Lallan-Kallan, Muflus, AK47, AK56, Aflatoon, King little, etc) in the game and since it is simple, more people get involved. Poker is complex and not everyone knows how to play it," he added.
Diwali is also a time for homecoming for many, and families like to organise huge gatherings where everyone - whether 15 or 50 years of age - can enjoy something together. Teen patti is an easy option.
For Sunita Goel, a 49-year-old housewife, card parties are an annual affair at her place.
"My husband is very fond of playing cards and so am I. We have a huge friends' circle and every year we have a Diwali bash at our place. Our friends, their friends, our children's friends, all join in and it's great fun playing teen patti," said Goel.
In teen patti, each player gets three cards to play with, whereas the technique in poker is different.
While playing poker, each player gets two cards in hand first, after which in each round, a set of cards is opened. In all, there are seven cards to play with, out of which the player has to choose the best five.
A seasoned poker player, on condition of anonymity, said: "Poker is a game of face reading more than gambling… which is why youth these days are crazy for poker. It involves skills."
Once the mood is set for cards, people don't even bother to get up for crackers or dinner. But hosts often organise elaborate parties with either barbecues or a huge spread of food, along with drinks.
But Goel says mostly people enjoy light snacks and drinks.
"People don't want to get up to have dinner once they sit. They want regular snacks and drinks served to them at the table so they can play non-stop. Also because if you get up to eat a proper meal, it does take an hour or so, plus you lose the momentum and the feel of it," she said.
Losing the momentum is something that most avid players don't like because often a huge amount of money is at stake.
While some play for as little as Rs.5-10, college students don't mind splurging Rs.50-100 per move. But a day or two before Diwali, the stakes can even go up to Rs.500-1,000.
However, in high society parties, people hardly care about spending anything between Rs.5,000 and Rs.25,000 per move.
The card fever also seems to be catching up with Bollywood star Aamir Khan, who said: "Diwali approaches and so does my annual card playing day. Wish me luck."

If you're an avid user of popular social media sites, there's a decent chance you've been exposed to the significant criticism that's been leveled at NBC over its tape-delayed coverage of the Olympics.
While the media giant is live streaming events online, NBC's rationale for airing the biggest events on a broadcast tape delay is simple: it can earn far more advertising dollars by capturing prime time eyeballs. That's important given that NBC isn't guaranteed to make a profit from the Olympics given the costs associated with airing them.
Critics aren't convinced. In today's always-on, always-connected world, information moves more rapidly than ever and many consumers expect real-time access to media. Tape delays are, to them, an outdated, unacceptable proposition, one that a forward-thinking media company hoping to remain successful would never stand by.
But are the critics right?
The apparent answer to that question may surprise you because, if you're a numbers person, NBC's tape delay isn't having a negative impact on viewership. In fact, things are great according to NBC Sports chairman Mark Lazarus, who has revealed that ratings for the London Games are significantly higher than those for the Beijing Games of 2008. Prime time ratings are currently running 10% above Beijing, which is particularly notable given the fact that some of the most attractive events in Beijing were broadcast live in prime time, as MediaPost's David Goetzl points out.
So how is NBC seemingly winning with a strategy that, to many, seems so lacking? The simple answer: the assumptions some of NBC's critics have made about tape delayed coverage may not be correct. According to NBC's own research, the spoiler effect isn't keeping would-be viewers from watching events when they're aired in prime time; in fact, some viewers are actually more interested in watching a delayed broadcast when they know the results.
NBC admits there's room for improvement
NBC acknowledges that its coverage hasn't been perfect, and that there's much room for improvement and innovation. "We're trying new things and we knew it wouldn't be perfect and we said that before the Games," Lazarus stated during a conference call with reporters.
But for those who still aren't convinced that NBC is taking steps forward, there's good news: Lazarus says NBC is focused on "analyzing everything" and "really understanding the numbers and how our audience is consuming" content. In other words, it's collecting data and analyzing it to drive key decisions. Which is essentially what digital innovators do in everything from marketing to content creation.
So like where data and analysis leads NBC or not, the media company's data-driven approach should be something many of its most vocal digital critics should be able to get behind.
Comments (1)
The conflict between delivering an optimal user experience and effective advertising on television has been present for years. What the NBC has done though is put the balance too far on the side of the advertiser, diminishing the TV experience for the user. They may say that the time delay hasn't been negative for the viewer but imagine if yesterdays 100m had been time delayed? It would have ruined the dramatic power of that event because everyone would have known the outcome ahead of it being broadcast. I'm an advertiser and a consumer and the consumer side of me is more annoyed than my advertiser side is happy.
This is also part of a broader trend that I really resent. For example, Panasonic's new TV set shows a big banner ad as soon as you turn it on, i.e. delivered by Panasonic, not the broadcaster and not with user consent.
Suddenly, things like Apple TV, Google TV, etc, seem like potential knights in shining armour.

Do you find social media confusing and don't know what's appropriate and what's not? This cool infographic from Fast Company has 36 rules to contemplate.
"It's always about the consumer, not about you or your product." "Update your Facebook Fan page or delete it." These are just a couple of the rules. Read them all in this cool infographic.
List of the 36 Rules
- If all you do is respond to complaints, that's all people will send you.
- Stop & Ask: Would an ACTUAL person talk that way?
- Everyone says they don't want to be marketed to. Really, they just don't want to be talked down to.
- The consumer is out for himself. Not for you.
- As monetization attempts go up, consumer experience goes down.
- Don't try to be clever. Be clever.
- Social is 24/7 not a one-time stunt.
- Always write back.
- Have an ROI, have an ROI, have an ROI.
- People would rather talk to "Comcast Melissa" than "Comcast".
- Solve problems for people who talk about you, even if they don't address you.
- Not everything will work and that's fine.
- Embrace negative content about your brand.
- Everyone's an influencer.
- If fans distribute your content without your permission, offer to help.
- It's OK to drive people to your site instead of Facebook's.
- Update your page or delete it.
- Don't make people do X,Y then Z. Stick with X.
- Last year: Pump out content. This year: optimize content.
- Become BFFS with your Facebook reps.
- Social media doesn't exist in a vacuum. Make traditional media and social work together.
- Desktop is conquered territory. Mobile is the battlefield.
- If you don't see financial results you have wasted your money.
- People fight for their privacy.
- The only way to scale word of mouth: paid advertising.
- Have a crisis plan.
- Don't use ads to prop up boring content. Use Ad to accelerate successful content.
- Forget individuals. You're creating content that encourages groups to form.
- People don't want to shop where they socialize.
- Contests and sweepstakes are fine. If you want to encourage short relationships.
- People care what you had for breakfast – if you're a food brand.
- Pinterest works
- Your fans own your brand
- If you're bored by social media, it's because you're trying to get more value than you create.
- Think past vanity metrics like followers.
- It's an organism, not a process.
What do you think of these tips? Do you have any rules of your own? I would love to hear from you, please leave a comment.

A few shots taken with the Pentax Q and Pentax K5. I tried to do both diagonals and dead-on angles, especially of geometric windows that I noticed around town.
WINDOWS #1 - I just liked the look of this old building. I added a border to a few of the images because it was hard to tell where the photo ended since the sky is so white in a many of these photos.
WiINDOWS #2
- I liked the way this grid tile pattern led to the narrow windows and vertical cement lines.
- These are a few basement windows that sat nicely along the diagonal.
BOAT - Just a nice diagonal I noticed.
BOAT CLUB - trying out the rule of thirds again, while using the fore/mid/background idea.
PATHWAY - The fog had an eerie feel to it so I tilted the camera to take the picture on an angle in order to play this feeling up.
EFFIE #1 - My 17-year-old. :) I tried to use the patterns on the blankets to my advantage.
EFFIE #2 - I felt the guide rail helped lead the eye along the diagonal down the road to where they're walking.
HOT CROSS BUNS - A shot I took for my mom's business to turn into a poster
These are the result of a stroll through my local downtown. Just trying to get the basics down, so nothing came out terribly awesomely.
#1 - Lightpost } Working with lines, horizontals and verticals, rule of thirds
#2 - Oakville Inn } Another shot taken for the lines and rule of thirds as well as the fore/mid/background.
#3 - Bridge View } Shot through an opening in one bridge to show another bridge, my attempt at a frame within a frame. I tried to position the image in the upper third of the photo while maintaining a fore/mid/background.
#4 - Tree & Post } I shot this one to have the branches frame the old lamp post and sign, placing it at the right third of the shot with the sign horizontal in the bottom third.
#5 - Trees } This one is dead centre but I wanted to frame the line of trees right down the middle within the first tree.
#6 - Fence Top } And this was just a cool fence, so I shot this at a straight on angle to showcase the cutouts at the top.
I used a Pentax Q + 02 Zoom Lens for this walk and am a bit disappointed with the quality of shots, but it may just be that i'm not fully familiar with it yet. I usually use a Pentax K5 for digital work and film cameras for everything else.
I'm still struggling with a lot of the concepts - I understand them logically, I just find I tend to overthink shots when I'm actually out taking the pictures.
I'm also having a hard time with cropping, so I hope that this comes with practice as well. Any feedback would be great! :)

India has made a fresh request to Mauritius to re-work an over three-decade-old tax treaty that spares FIIs routing their investments through the island nation from paying capital gains tax on the sale of Indian shares. "Mauritius has agreed to participate in the joint working group (JWG) which lends hope that the island nation would agree to rework the tax treaty.
We have sent our agenda for discussion and suggested a few dates in July and August. We want to re-work the treaty on the same lines as the other double taxation avoidance agreements (DTAA) that we are entering into now or are under renegotiation," said Sunil Mitra, Finance Secretary . This means that India will push for imposing capital gains tax on Mauritius residents on the sale of Indian shares.
This would bring them at par with domestic investors who pay a 10% capital gains tax on shares sold within a year of purchase. "We are insisting on source-based taxation of capital gains in our new DTAAs and the older ones that are being re-negotiated to ensure that India gets a due share of tax revenues," said a senior government official. India also wants to have safeguards to curb treaty shopping, a practice where the resident of a third country enjoys the beneficial tax treatment of the Indo Mauritius treaty.
There is also a widespread perception that some Indian investors indulge in round-tripping - the practice of taking money out of India and bringing it back through the Mauritius route. "Tax authorities here will seek a limitation of benefit clause to restrict the treaty benefits to genuine investors of Mauritius," the official said. MNCs that have subsidiaries in Mauritius, but without an effective management there, will be impacted.
India will also nudge Mauritius to re-work the exchange of information agreement to end banking secrecy and also provide information on Indian tax evaders even if the information is of no domestic interest to Mauritius. This would be in sync with rules of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a club of rich countries. The agenda also includes assistance in collection of taxes.
This means India will seek help from Mauritius to freeze and attach properties of tax evaders who fail to pay up their dues. The Indian government has come under attack from the Supreme Court and civil society which claim that there is little seriousness in tackling the issue of black money and the spate of corruption scandals have dented investor confidence.

KITZBUEHEL, Austria (Reuters) - Two years after his first victory on the Streif, Dominik Paris saw his consistency rewarded when he clinched his first World Cup Super-G win in Kitzbuehel on Friday.
Crowned in the classic Hahnenkamm downhill in 2013, the Italian made the most of his knowledge of the terrain to beat two home skiers in one minute 9.99 seconds.
"I was feeling really well today. I really love this piste and I went down ruthlessly," said the 15-year-old speed specialist, who had finished seven times in the top five in downhills or Super-G's this season. "A first is always important and I had been going after my first Super-G for a long time. I had the gliding, the touch but I had a problem with the sharp turns in Super-Gs," Paris added.
"But I worked on it and on my confidence which now allows me to tackle everything with relative ease."
Paris's satisfaction was boosted by the fact that he won ahead of two local favorites, downhill Olympic champion Matthias Mayer, who finished 0.06 adrift and Georg Streitberger who was 0.34 seconds off the pace in third.
The Italian said the win set him up for Saturday's downhill.
"It's great but I already want to look ahead and I already know what I need to improve for the downhill," he said.
"It was far from perfect today. I just skied in a fury, attacking every inch of the course. In the bottom part I was really fighting against the Streif," he said.
The last man to win both the downhill and the Super-G in Kitzbuehel was Swiss Didier Cuche in 2010.
In the super-combined in the evening, France's Alexis Pinturault followed up his win in the ame event a year go.
Austria's Marcel Hirscher was second, 0.69 adrift, to take his lead in the overall World Cup to 182 points over Norway's Kjetil Jansrud who was a disappointing seventh in the morning Super-G and ninth in the super-combined.

Yes. It will take an extra year to complete your degree but it is possible. Because the DPD track has slightly different admission requirements it is recommended that prospective students apply for that track and then work with an advisor to add the CHP upon acceptance.
Yes, although students should be aware that class-schedule conflicts could arise. Core research classes and core psychology classes are not expressly accommodated in scheduling.
No. CACREP (Counsel for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs) is a national movement to standardize licensure and education for mental health counseling since mental health licensure requirements vary substantially from state to state. Our program is designed to meet the Washington state mental health licensure requirements and to prepare students to take the National Counseling Examination, which certain states require for licensure. Students planning to practice outside of Washington state following graduation should check on the individual licensing requirements for their state to determine whether additional coursework may be required.
Bastyr University's MSNCHP program does not rely solely on one paradigm, though the program has a unique focus in health psychology and as such incorporates the biopsychosocial model across all areas of curriculum. The curriculum also incorporates an array of theories so students can decide as providers what to offer their clients. The program also includes attention to diversity issues across the curriculum.
This varies by state. Students planning to practice outside of Washington state following graduation should check on the individual health professional licensing requirements for their state to determine scope of practice for nutrition services.
No, you will be required to work as a mental health counselor with a supervisor signing off on your hours. In the state of Washington it is necessary to complete 3,000 post-graduate supervised hours before submitting an application to obtain licensure as a mental health counselor. However, you are eligible for employment as a counselor and to take the state licensing exam upon commencement.
It is well documented that emotional and psychological imbalance can upset bodily systems just as much as poor nutrition. Become uniquely qualified to address the biochemistry of the mind and body with a Master of Science in Nutrition and Clinical Health Psychology (MSNCHP).
Your education at Bastyr University will include real-world clinical training at Bastyr Center for Natural Health, leading you to a professional credential in the fields of mental health counseling and nutrition, with job opportunities ranging from case manager at a community agency to working at an eating disorders clinic or owning a private practice as a counselor or nutritionist.
From time in the classroom to clinical training and beyond, you will be guided by Bastyr faculty members who are experienced nutritionists, whole-food dietitians, psychologists, counselors, researchers and experts on body-mind integration.
The unique approach of the MSNCHP program allows you to work with a range of clients during three quarters of clinical training at Bastyr Center, our Seattle teaching clinic.
The rotation begins in your second year with 11 weeks of clinical training as a counselor, putting your basic counseling and assessment skills to work as you assist clients with mental health issues and relational and psychological issues. In the second quater, the focus switches to nutrition counseling, allowing you to help clients with nutrition-focused issues, including chronic illnesses and food allergies.
The rotation culminates in the third quarter with a nine-week "Way to Go" weight management and lifestyle program, which integrates both the counseling and nutrition segments. You will co-facilitate group sessions and meet with program participants individually.
The curriculum table below lists the tentative schedule of courses each quarter. Next to each course is the number of credits per course (Crdt.), the lecture hours each week (Lec.) and the lab/clinic hours each week (L/C).
The Department of Nutrition and Exercise Science has established the following expected learning outcomes for all Master of Science in Nutrition programs:
Expected learning outcomes specific to MSN-Clinical Health Psychology are:

Priority consideration is given to applicants with the following GPA scores:
Exceptional candidates who do not meet these priority standards will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Entering students must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college/university and must have completed the following courses:
NOTE: No grade lower than a C will be accepted for any prerequisite courses. Prerequisite science courses must have been completed within the last 7 years.
*Typical chemistry course progression: General Chemistry I, General Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry I, Biochemistry. A minimum of one course must include an in-person lab
**If intermediary metabolism is covered in second course of a biochemistry series, both courses must be completed – please contact a MSN advisor for questions.

See examples of how our graduates use their nutrition and psychology degrees.
Forty-six states have statutory provisions regarding professional regulation of nutritionists. To find specific scopes of practice for individual states, go to the state's Department of Health Professional Licensing information page.
Every state has a specialized licensing program. In the state of Washington it is necessary to complete 3,000 post-graduate supervised hours before submitting an application to obtain licensure as a mental health counselor; however, you are eligible for employment as a counselor and to take the state licensing exam upon commencement.
In the Master of Science in Nutrition & Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology (MSN/MACP) dual-track program, you'll study the dynamic relationship between nutrition and mental health.
The MSN/MACP program integrates training in nutritional counseling and mental health counseling, leading to licensure as a mental health counselor. The program includes a supervised practicum with diverse patients and a wide range of patient complaints, including chronic disease (diabetes, hypertension), depression/anxiety, ADHD and eating disorders.
MSN/MACP students must:
In addition to the didactic and clinical experience, MSN/MACP students are required to complete 10 hours of individual counseling or therapy before their counseling shift at the BCNH. Documentation of these hours is required.
Successful completion of a clinical competency exit examination is a requirement for students in the third year of the MSN/MACP. This examination tests the minimal knowledge and skills required to perform nutritional and mental health counseling with diverse clients. The examination does not cover the whole curriculum and cannot substitute for any part of regular course requirements. Students are eligible to schedule the exit exam if they are in good academic standing, have completed or are concurrently registered for all required (non-elective) courses by the end of the term in which they want to take the exam, and are making satisfactory progress in the practicum.
Students are required to maintain a 3.0 GPA in their graduate course work. Bastyr graduates are qualified to provide exceptional nutrition and counseling services to individuals and institutions and contribute positively to the nutritional and mental health education of the community.
Students are expected to stay on track with the counseling curriculum. Students who wish to go off track must have permission from the director of clinical training.

It's not hard to find a critic when it comes to the practice of Testosterone Replacement Therapy. The treatment is seen by many as a means of cheating and has even drawn fire from UFC President Dana White with the outspoken executive promising to crack down on those who abuse it in his company.
While the controversy surrounding TRT is understandable, one person who doesn't have a problem with it happens to be fighting a well-known user tonight at UFC 157. Light heavyweight Lyoto Machida was asked about opponent Dan Henderson's association with TRT earlier this week at the event's open workouts and shrugged off his adversary having any sort of advantage because of it.
"Everybody has their own reasons for using it. I don't know, I'm not a doctor. I'm a fighter. If the UFC says it's okay, I think it's good," said Machida to media. "He is old, but he's still good. He's still strong. He's beaten a lot of guys. He can still compete at a high level."
MMAWeekly was on hand and able to capture the comments.
Henderson has a more legitimate claim to needing testosterone than many of his peers at 42 years old, though some might argue the natural effects of aging as they relate to diminished testosterone should be a factor in any athlete's career.
He and Machida will serve as the co-headliner at this evening's show with the winner going on to fight for the divisional title at some point in 2013.

Plague Doctors: The Blue Bruiser
To make up for my lack of posts on the weekend, I thought I would push through and get one or two more up.
This, my friends, is the Blue Bruiser. With his red-tinted glass, he strikes me as a tough customer. Sure, you could say most of these figures have a certain air of danger, but...I don't know. Something about his pose. About those eyes. About his brooding colour.
It's amazing what a difference certain colours make. It completely changes the look of a figure, and the mood.
He is up on Etsy as well. (UPDATE: He's been adopted. Thanks!)
I think I might sleep better knowing he's been adopted by someone else.

Nobody Left to Run With Anymore
Its funny how life catches up with you. When you are younger, you think things will last forever and you will keep on keeping on in the same manner you have been. But as life moves on, you realize this is not necessarily the case. Not that Im pining for the past, but its very interesting to see how things change over the years. When I was younger, getting a group of friends together to go see some live music was a non issue. If the Dead or Phish were in town, it was a given that youd be attending that show with your friends, your friends friends, some random people you had just met recently, etc.
Even when seeing smaller bands in college, there was never any shortage of people to come along to the show and share the experience. And a special show like a New Years Eve Phish show would bring friends, freaks, and random folks out of the woodwork. When Phish played New Years Eve in Worcester in 1993, I lived in town since I was attending college in Worcester and my apartment was packed. Waking up in the morning on that first day of 1994, there was barely enough room to walk to the bathroom due to all the friends and wayward travelers strewn about the floor. While that was fun at the time, I dont really miss such chaotic scenes. But as life moves on and on and the teen and college years fade away into the hazy mists of memory, its apparent that folks drop out of the live music scene pretty quickly.
I dont mean for this article to serve as a whoa is me rant, its more of a documentation of what happens in life as a serious live music junky. This is not groundbreaking stuff at all. If anything, let this piece serve as a confirmation to the older heads that have already experienced something similar to what Im describing and also serve as a vision of the future to the younger jamband fans. People start dropping from the scene like flies. There will always be a few sturdy heads that are intensely into seeing live music and will do so through much of life. These are the folks that seem to need live music to live and will do whatever it takes to get to a showeven if they have kids, a big business meeting the next morning, or some other serious and adult responsibility. They need the live music and will get their fix come Hell or high water. But most people slowly drop out of the scene as other interests in life pop up and become more important to them than some live music show at the little dive bar in town.
And its not just the fans, either. Many bands fall victim to the same fate of slowly fading away. It takes a lot of time and youthful energy to be a small touring jamband and that can really wear on folks in band. How long can a group of guys and gals travel around in cramped van, sleep on floors, and subsist on fast food and cheesy poofs? Usually not that long. If the band becomes steadily more popular, the chances increase that the band will last. But if the band continues to be mired in relative obscurity after a few years traveling the country, chances of disbandment become exponentially higher. And if one of the members gets the itch to be home with a loved one more often, start a family, or get a real job you can kiss that groovy little jamband goodbye.
And so it is for the live music fan. In high school and college there is never any thought about whom else will be going to the show. Who WONT be going is a better question. And even when college ends and folks are in their early 20s, its usually easy to find a friend to join in for some live music debauchery. But this is the time where the first signs of a drop off in interest become readily apparent. Suddenly some friends who used to love the music as much as you do would rather get to bed early so they can be their best at work the next day. Or they decide it would be better to stay in at night and spend some quality time with their fianc
And the trend continues as we get older. The baby factor is huge. Once we hit the late 20s and early 30s, its baby time. Suddenly friends are having kids with reckless abandon. After a night with very little sleep, a full work day, and full evening at home taking care of the youngins, a former jamband fan turned parent would much rather get some sleep than try to stay awake for a show in a smoky bar that starts at 10:30pm. So as the baby factor rises, the number of friends willing to attend a rock show with you decreases drastically.
Of course, none of this really matters to the true jamband fan. For those of us with an unwavering passion and commitment to the music, friends are just icing on the cake at an intense show. Its nice to have someone to relate to, but its not necessary, really. In some cases, I prefer seeing shows alone. Theres no other person to worry about so decisions about where to be inside the venue, when you want to leave, whether you want to sit or stand, etc. are made without any haggling. Also, once inside the show, there is no shortage of like-minded potential friends there to hang out with. Of course, the potential friends in the house are suddenly a few years or even a decade younger than you, but its all good. Personally, I love making friends with younger music fans and feeding off their energy as they rabidly devour the music.
And so it goes. Life moves on. If you are becoming one of the dinosaurs in the scene and just cant seem to get enough live music while your friends move on to other interests in life, it can be disconcerting. You may ask yourself, am I immature? Should I be moving on to other pastures, too? Only you can determine the correct answers to these questions. Personally, I think expanded horizons and new activities and interests in life are very important. But to me, live music is like food or aira necessity, not an option. So while I will try something new like taking a scuba class or a salsa dancing lesson, I will also continue to see live music in all its invigorating glory. Eventually I will be the one old guy who appears out of place dancing wildly next to the young kids who are giggling or pointing at me behind my back. Bring it, whipper-snapper.

Judge to probe Mayor of London's gay bus ad ban emails
A judge has ordered that emails related to the banning of a London bus advert suggesting people could "get over" homosexuality should be disclosed.
Mrs Justice Lang has launched a new investigation into whether London's mayor improperly used his authority to block a Christian group's advert.
The probe was ordered by the Court of Appeal after it said an earlier ruling on the issue was flawed.
Boris Johnson could now be called to the High Court to give evidence.
'Get over it'
The Christian charity, Core Issues Trust (CIT), had produced the posters which stated: "Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it!" in response to adverts by gay rights group Stonewall, which said: "Some people are gay. Get over it!".
CIT accused the mayor of blocking it to win the gay vote when he stood for re-election in 2012.
On Wednesday, Mrs Justice Lang said: "I do have concerns about the lack of full disclosure by Transport for London (TfL) and the lack of candour about the decision to bar the advertisement.
"I am still not satisfied the full story has been told."
The new investigation was ordered by Lord Dyson, the Master of the Rolls, and two other Court of Appeal judges.
Internal email
The appeal judges have upheld Mrs Justice Lang's decision that TfL had the legal right to ban the advertisement on the grounds that it was likely to cause offence, but they were concerned that emails had emerged which were not seen by the High Court judge.
The appeal judges were shown an internal email from Guto Harri, Mr Johnson's media chief, which was not seen by the High Court, the email said: "Boris has just instructed TfL to pull the adverts and I've briefed the Guardian, who will break that news in next half hour."
Last March, Mrs Justice Lang ruled, on the evidence before her, that the decision to ban the adverts had been taken "solely" by Vernon Everitt, TfL's managing director of marketing and communications.

Arthropods are animals with
segmented bodies and six or more jointed legs. They are the largest animal
group on Earth. In fact, more than three out of four of all animals are arthropods.
They are found everywhere - on land, in trees, in freshwater and saltwater,
and even underground. Arthropods are generally small. Most are less than 1
cm long. Some arthropods, however, are quite large. The giant king crab,
for example, measures over 3.2
m from the tip of one outstretched leg to another. Some of the most familiar
arthropods are butterflies, beetles, flies, ants, bees, spiders, scorpions,
shrimp, and crabs.
Arthropods are found in every environment including the ocean. Crustaceans,
like this crab, are aquatic arthropods.
There are many strange and beautiful arthropods.
Most belong to one of three major groups: insects, crustaceans,
or arachnids.
Insects are the only arthropods capable of powered flight. Some dragonflies
can fly at speeds over 64 kph!
Insects have six legs. They are the only arthropods capable of powered flight.
Dragonflies are the most spectacular. Some can fly at speeds over 64
kph! Every year, scientists discover and describe thousands of new arthropod species.
Most are new insects.
Spiders, like this tarantula, are arachnids. Arachnids make up the second-largest
group of arthropods.
Arachnids have eight legs. Spiders are, perhaps, the best-known arachnid.
Most arachnids live on land, although a few live in freshwater. Scorpions,
mites, and ticks are also arachnids.
This spiny lobster is a crustacean. Most crustaceans live in the ocean or
in freshwater.
Crustaceans have ten or more legs. Most are aquatic,
which means they live in water. Most aquatic crustaceans - crabs, lobsters,
and shrimp - live in the sea. A few crustaceans live in freshwater streams
and lakes. Some, like woodlice, live on land. Both the largest and smallest
arthropods in the world are crustaceans.
Arthropods are an important part of many different food chains. Krill, shrimp,
and copepods are just some of the arthropods that many animals rely on for
Arthropods are critical to the food
chain. They are the major source of food for most other animals and even
a few plants. Birds, reptiles, fish, and other arthropods eat them. Even
people eat arthropods. In the oceans, arthropods such as krill, copepods,
and other crustaceans form the foundation of the food chain on which most
fish and sea mammals survive. Even the largest animal in the world, the blue
whale (which weighs 108
metric tons), feeds on plankton. Plankton is a floating soup of marine
arthropods, plants, and other tiny animals. If you've
eaten shrimp, crab, or lobster, then you've made a meal of an arthropod.
All arthropods have jointed legs and a head
and segmented body parts called the thorax and abdomen.
An arthropod's body is covered by a shell or a hard outer skin called
an exoskeleton.
It is made of a material called chitin.
The exoskeleton has a special top layer, the cuticle, which is thick and tough.
In crustaceans, the exoskeleton is sometimes called the carapace and hides
the segmented body parts.
Arthropods are a very diverse group, but they share some basic characteristics.
Click below to discover their similar features.
Because there are so many different types
of arthropods, there are also many different ways in which they develop and
grow. Most begin as eggs,
hatch into larvae,
and then metamorphose into
Having a hard exoskeleton provides good protection. But it can be a disadvantage
when an arthropod is growing. Arthropods must shed their exoskeleton and grow
a new, larger one. As an arthropod grows, its exoskeleton splits along the
back of the thorax. The arthropod can then crawl out of its old exoskeleton.
It can take several minutes or up to a few hours for the new exoskeleton to
harden. During this time, the arthropod is without its "armor" and
can be attacked very easily.
Many arthropods sting or bite when defending themselves. Some have powerful
venom that they use to stun or kill their prey. Some of these arthropods
are poisonous to people as well as animals.
Arachnids - spiders, scorpions, and ticks - hatch from eggs and look like
small versions of their adult parents. But many arthropods change dramatically
between the time they hatch and the time they reach adulthood. For example,
flightless caterpillars (the larval stage of moths and butterflies) turn into
winged adults. Ladybugs look like miniature dragons until they metamorphose.
Strange little creatures called zoea look like they have come from outer space.
They swim about the ocean before settling to the bottom and becoming crabs.
Many people do not understand the vital role
arthropods play in keeping the world alive and healthy. Life on Earth would
end very quickly without arthropods. Arthropods are great recyclers and decomposers and
they are a super food source. They also help pollinate the plants that
provide food and keep the air and water clean.
Arthropods such as flies, lice, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can make your
life uncomfortable if they bite you. Some insects, arachnids, and millipedes
produce poisons that can make people sick or even kill them. Arthropods are
also indirectly responsible for many people dying. Certain kinds of mosquitoes
are very dangerous. They may carry diseases like malaria and dengue
fever. Malaria passed on to people by mosquitoes kills over 1 million people
each year- that's more than any other disease.

Learning Support
The Learning Support department at YIS upholds the principles of a balanced education rooted in the firm belief in inclusion. Academic excellence is reflected in our philosophy of supporting and celebrating the diversity of learning needs within the school community. We endeavor to accommodate students with diverse learning needs to achieve their highest potential while celebrating their unique learning strengths and needs.
Program Overview
The Learning Support department works in collaboration with the Counselors and the English as an additional language (EAL) teachers to support students in the areas of academics, behavior and social and emotional development. Learning Support services range from observations and consultation with staff and parents to a range of individualized and group instruction for students with various learning needs. Our Learning Support Delivery model is inspired by the philosophy of the three-tiered system of the Response to Intervention model. Students are placed on one of the three levels of support ranging from Monitor, to LS-1(time-limited services) and LS-2 (intensive intervention) levels of support.
Additional Services
Psycho-Educational and Speech and Language evaluations are available on a needs basis within the department. Observations, past records and discussions with teachers and parents precede the diagnostic and speech assessments. Where necessary, parents may be requested to obtain external educational assessments in order to understand and serve student needs more effectively. A speech clinic is offered, in the morning, before school (for MS/HS students) and every afternoon after school, for students identified with a speech and/or fluency disorder. Students are referred by teachers or parents and based on availability are provided with direct services.
The goal of the school and the Learning Support department is to support student needs adequately. With this in mind, students flagged at admissions are informally or formally assessed to ensure the school can meet their needs. Parent interviews, trial days and diagnostic screenings and assessments are some of the other ways in helping us determine the level of support required and the possibility of meeting those needs. Parents may be requested to provide further diagnostic information to help clarify presenting needs.
YIS is a member of SENIA which is a network of educators, professionals and parents across Asia dedicated to supporting children with special learning needs. YIS helped establish the Japan chapter in 2015.
