Larger event stewards and security
Larger events may require 4 named stewards, or more, who should be named and briefed by Theatre Gallery staff. Live music events for example.
The hirer must provide one SIA registered door supervisor per 100 patrons for concerts and late licence events. It is advisable that a minimum of one female door supervisor is provided at events which attract a large audience. All door supervisors must clearly display their SIA identification cards at all times.

The capacity of the theatre is 400 standing and 272 seated. Failure to stay within capacity is a serious offence.
The Event Supervisor will brief the stewards where required. Stewards must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the hire period. At least one steward must remain in the theatre foyer or box office area throughout the duration of the hire.

We expect all hirers of the theatre and our staff to behave in a professional manner. Events should be well organised with sufficient time allowed for preparation, the event to run and to clear up at the end of the event and sufficient information provided to our staff to allow them to do their job.
We would encourage you to be in regular contact with your assigned Event Supervisor and Technician to discuss your event to pre-dispose problems that may otherwise occur and to supply any information requested by our staff promptly.
We expect the main contact on the booking form to take overall responsibility for the event and therefore not under the influence of drugs or alcohol prior to or during the event. In the case of a celebratory event, the main contact may delegate, in advance of the event, the responsibility for the event on the day to a capable event manager who should be the second contact on the booking form. Please note on the booking form if the second contact will be the event manager on the day of the hire.

Artwork exhibited in public spaces must adhere to the gallery code for suitable viewing. This prohibits works unsuitable for a public audience, including children, from being visible from the street or in generally accessible spaces.

What is a Chaperone?
A chaperone is someone registered with the council to look after children who are working in entertainment. Their duty is to ensure that the children's safety, comfort and welfare are always taken care of. It is a legal requirement that whenever children of compulsory school age are engaged in public performances or entertainment under a licence issued by the Local Authority, they must be supervised at all times by a licensed chaperone, unless they are under the direct supervision of either parent or an agreed tutor. The chaperone is responsible for the child at all times except when they are rehearsing, performing or with the child's own parent or carer. A licensed chaperone may look after up to a maximum of 12 children of the same sex. Therefore more than one chaperone may be required.
When is a chaperone required?
The Children (Performances) Regulations 1968 state that any child working in entertainment (stage, film, television, radio, musical performances, modelling and paid sport) must be cared for by a registered chaperone who is responsible for the proper care and control of the child including his/her comfort, treatment and moral welfare.
The Access to Education team is responsible for the registration of chaperones, and for issuing performance licences for children working in entertainment.

School Age and Vulnerable Adults Performance Policy.
In order to promote Child Protection, and in order to comply with Child Licensing Legislation, the University of Brighton requires all private organisations hiring the Theatre for events involving performers of Compulsory School Age to adhere to this policy.
You (the hirer) are required to undertake suitable actions to satisfy this policy.
In advance:
1. Jobs that involve caring for, supervising or being in sole charge of children or adults during your hire require an enhanced DBS check (previously called an enhanced CRB check). This includes checking whether someone is included in the 2 DBS 'barred lists' (previously called ISA barred lists) of individuals who are unsuitable for working with:
The organisation must be able to provide the Sallis Benney Theatre with confirmation of the above.
Before the performance:
During the performance:
After the performance:
A copy of the University of Brighton child protection policy is available on request.
Despite everyone's best efforts, on occasions things go wrong. If you encounter a problem prior to the event, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or tel 01273 643010 or your assigned Event Supervisor as soon as possible to discuss it. If the issue persists or cannot be handled by the above staff, they may refer you to the Theatre and Gallery Manager who will endeavour to assist.
If a problem occurs during the hire of the theatre, we ask you to speak to the technician regarding technical issues and the Event Supervisor for anything else or if technical problems persist as soon as is reasonably practicable.
We expect problems to be discussed in a civil manner, away from public areas, ideally in an office which we can readily make available. Swearing, abusive or bullying behaviour are a direct breach of the University of Brighton Code of Conduct, will not be tolerated and could result in the theatre terminating the contract without a refund and cancellation of the event.
We welcome event de-briefs and suggestions as to how we can improve our service so please do not hesitate to contact us after your event to discuss positives or negatives. If, however, you did not feel the venue met your expectations and wish to make a complaint, please either write or email the theatre manager (via firstname.lastname@example.com) within seven days of your event with exact details of the problem. We will conduct an investigation and respond as soon as is reasonably practicable.
These Conditions of Hire are subject to change by the University of Brighton and should be checked at the point of confirmation.

Varun Dhawan has worked in almost every genre. Teen (Student Of The Year), action (Dishoom), comedy (Main Tera Hero), musical (ABCD 2), romance (Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya), and drama (Badlapur). While his contemporaries are still trying to gauge the parameters of his choices, we might have just decoded that. Thriller ho ya rom-coms, Varun just looks for one thing in the films he signs — entertainment. At a time when most of the young actors are trying to do things out of the box, Varun has managed to strike a balance. But at heart, he's still the '90s kid who's grown up on masala films. He admits, "Woh masala actor ka keeda bachpan se hi hai." In a candid chat, Varun talks about his next film Badrinath Ki Dulhania (BKD), his idea of success and failure, and why it's difficult to be a superstar in times of social media.
Urban or desi love story — your pick and why?
More than anything, as an actor, doing a film like BKD, which is desi romance is challenging. One because it's from the heartland and that's not where I belong. I have grown up in a city like Mumbai. There are so many things I had to learn and discover while doing this film. On the surface, this looks like a very fun, masti wala film, but it's difficult to get the UP humour right. It is very different from the sense of humour I have in real life. In BKD, you are laughing more at me and my situations, than on my jokes.
Your body language, diction in the film seems very studied. Are you a method actor?
I won't say I'm totally a method actor. We did a lot of readings. Plus, we shot in UP and Jhansi. We also filmed in so many parts around Jhansi. So being in that setting and with locals around you, you are constantly seeing them talk, walk and behave in a certain manner. It comes naturally.
You are doing masala entertainers, which most of your contemporaries look down upon. Comment.
The one thing that I look for in any script is entertainment. I can't do a film just for the sake of being educational. I don't think people will spend money to go to a theatre to get bored, or listen to pravachan (sermons). People pay for entertainment. So, whether you make a thriller, horror or even a dance drama, it has to be entertaining.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania was a surprise hit. Does that work as an advantage or go against BKD?
I keep telling Alia that when we did Humpty, people were entertained because they didn't expect anything. Expectations are sky-high from this film. People are expecting a lot, especially because of the work Alia has been doing. That's a plus for us (smiles). Because of Alia's work, people are thinking Badri too will have great content. I keep teasing Alia about that. As for me, the audiences are expecting entertainment. So I guess it's a good mix of both now.
You are the only guy from the younger breed of heroes, who's never had a flop film. Is there a sense of achievement?
I don't think there's any sense of achievement. Those hits are not only mine but there are a lot of people involved in it. I'm lucky that I did seven films with seven talented people who helped me achieve this. But at the same time, there's definitely a responsibility which I cannot deny.
Do you fear failure?
(Pauses) I have not thought about it actually. You'll have to ask me this after a film of mine doesn't work. But success and failure are very personal things. Sometimes, you can be extremely successful yet feel you've failed. Everyone's barometer of success is different. A film does what it does. Sometimes, you feel it should have done better. Sometimes you feel ki itni achhi nahi thi, itna kar gayi. It happens. At the end of the day, what you want, is for people to love the film. Like I have a six-year-old who's sent me this clip where he has memorised all the lines of Junaid Ansari (Varun's character in Dishoom). For me that's way more special than whatever money the film made at the box office. That child is idolising one of my characters… that's special. So money can't be the benchmark.
Why don't the gen-next actors have the superstar aura?
I think it has a lot to do with social media. Let me be honest with you. With social media, there is so much exposure that you are easily replaceable now. People believe they have the right to make and break stars. Also, I think today's stars come across as too perfect. Because of social media, there are no imperfections coming out. The mistakes they are making are hidden because everything they want to put out is very thought out and then posted. Every picture is put out with a filter. You are not seeing anyone waking up disheveled in the morning. I remember getting so excited watching my favourite stars looking slept deprived when I was a kid. Or just hung over. Today, when do we see these pictures? Ganda picture daal bhi diya toh filter laga ke dalenge. So that you look good. The problem is that the relatability to an actor has become less. Also, cinema has changed. Today, films are stars, directors are stars and holiday dates are stars.

Using the Power of Pinterest
When you think of Pinterest, you may think of female millennials pinning recipes for chocolate-covered strawberries or articles on how to style an infinity scarf for fall. However, Pinterest is a powerhouse social media site that can bring a lot to the table for companies, in addition to individuals. Pinterest is focused on visual content with links back to the original sites on which the content is found. According to Tech Crunch, it recently became the second highest referrer of traffic to websites, with Facebook in first place. Creating an account and utilizing Pinterest's power will help an organization grow its online presence. Here are a few tips about how businesses can harness Pinterest's power to connect with consumers:
1) Consider your key "pinners" first. What will interest them? Create original pins and "repin" posts that speak to the lifestyle and interests of the public. Do not just self-promote, but keep audiences interested and engaged by repinning, liking, commenting on and sharing other pins.
2) Be smart about what and how you pin. Accuracy, timing and variety are important. Ensure that the links associated with the pin are accurate. Space out your pins, timewise. Vary the boards you pin to; in other words, don't solely focus on one overloaded board for an entire week and neglect the others.
3) Prime yourself for success outside of Pinterest. Have Pinterest-worthy graphics on your website or blog. Add your URL to photos to preserve their integrity and to ensure the photo and link don't get separated. Use keywords in names and descriptions to make your pins, boards and profile easily searchable.
4) Stay consistent. Post regularly to Pinterest and keep boards organized to specific topics. Remember to think visually and fill your page with inspiring content.

WhatsApp could spy on its users, report suggests
Image credit: Reuters
The Facebook-owned messaging application WhatsApp could reportedly spy on its users or provide access to messages to third parties, according to a US cyber-security researcher. The firm behind the apps's encryption system dismisses the allegations.
Univeristy of California cryptologist Tobias Boelter told the Guardian that messages sent via WhatsApp could be read by a middle man without the users' knowing when the app changes security keys.
WhatsApp uses unique security keys that are exchanged and verified between users to confirm the communication is secure. WhatsApp, however, can change those keys for users that are offline. Messages sent during this period are vulnerable as the app doesn't expect the user to verify the security key, but instead generates completely new encryption keys, re-encrypts the messages and sends them again.
According to the Guardian report "this re-encryption and rebroadcasting effectively allows WhatsApp to intercept and read users' messages." Boelter believes WhatsApp could possibly use this vulnerability to provide the government with access to the communication.
"If WhatsApp is asked by a government agency to disclose its messaging records, it can effectively grant access due to the change in keys," Boelter told the Guardian.
Steffen Tor Jensen, head of information security and digital counter-surveillance at the European-Bahraini Organisation for Human Rights, commented: "WhatsApp can effectively continue flipping the security keys when devices are offline and re-sending the message, without letting users know of the change till after it has been made, providing an extremely insecure platform."
Messaging app Signal, which uses the same encryption protocol, on the other hand, waits for the user to verify the key before delivering previously undeliverable messages.
WhatsApp later issued a statement saying that their way is more convenient for users.
"The design decision referenced in the Guardian story prevents millions of messages from being lost and WhatsApp offers people security notifications to alert them to potential security risks," the firm said.
"WhatsApp published a technical white paper on its encryption design and has been transparent about the government requests it receives, publishing data about those requests in the Facebook Government Requests Report."
Open Whisper Systems, which has developed the encryption protocol for WhatsApp also disagrees with the allegations.
In a blogpost on the company's website, Moxie Marlinspike, one of the system's developers, dismissed the claim saying that if WhatsApp wanted to spy on its users, it would most likely get caught by those users who actually do verify their keys. He also said the problem only affects a comparatively low number of messages.
"The WhatsApp clients have been carefully designed so that they will not re-encrypt messages that have already been delivered," Marlinspike said.
"Once the sending client displays a 'double-check mark', it can no longer be asked to re-send that message. This prevents anyone who compromises the server from being able to selectively target previously delivered messages for re-encryption."

German Shepherds
sadly, as of june 1, 2018 i am discontinuing breeding. i have retired my last female and my male is for sale.
I have been breeding since 2003 and got started with the help of Georgianna Hornberger! Over the years I have raised many dogs and have whelped many puppies! The best part of this is meeting so many wonderful people while matching them with their new family member!
In general the German Shepherd Dog breed will be full of drive, energy and love, but will need to be challenged on a daily basis. Choose this new pet knowing this and knowing that you will be willing to give your new dog what he needs so he will fulfill all of your expectations.
Before you buy a puppy, do your homework! Check out the breeder, make sure they are a member of the AKC or other reputable registry. I will do my best to give you all the information that you need to make this very important decision.
all cedarwood puppies become fully socialized with children, noises, activity, other dogs and places. Puppies can go to their new homes at 8 weeks old after they are fully weaned, have first vaccine and regularly de-wormed.
We usually have black, sable, black & tan, and black & red puppies to choose from.
I sell a puppy with a guarantee against crippling hip dysplasia for a period of 2 year, and that your puppy is in good health and will pass the physical by your vet within 14 days of purchase.
You will go home with a puppy packet including:
AKC paperwork
Health packet with your puppy's veterinary health certificate
NuVet Plus sample and information for ordering
Information regarding proper nutrition and current food

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 03, 2017
NOTLIN TECHNOLOGIES answers the dire call for combating cybercrime. BABELNET, the solution for privacy and control of security in this era of rising unauthorized inception of data via the anonymity of the internet, provides instant cross-platform encrypted communications independent of location and connection type with the option of user administration. The enterprise user-friendly solution available on Google Play and APP Store is designed to protect against piracy on devices with iOS, Android, Mac OS X and Windows platforms using strong cryptographic technologies and protocols based on international standards to ensure that communication reaches the intended recipient without compromise.
The number of reported information security incidents around the world rose 48% to 42.8 million, the equivalent of 117,339 attacks per day as reported by The Global State of Information Security ® Survey 2015 released by PwC in conjunction with CIO and CSO magazines. Further, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers' Global Economic Crime Survey 2016, "Cybercrime among our respondents is sharply higher this year, jumping from 4th to 2nd place among the most-reported types of economic crime. Notably, it was the only economic crime to have registered an increase in that category". The mind boggling rise in hacking coupled with the increased reliance on the internet exhibits that a trusted infrastructure based on encryption technology is no longer a luxury however, too many businesses fail to allocate adequate security budgets associated with managing breaches and mitigating risk. BABELNET is a cost effective for high profiled individuals, executives and businesses that are often the targets of web espionage.
When compared to platforms such as Whatsapp, the difference is that, BABELNET easily integrates with third party applications and offers on-premises client server capabilities; support and maintenance; customization of the platform; prescheduling of mass messages; asynchronous delivery of messages and attachments; send, read and received receipts with time, auto delete and remote redaction settings. "We are offering the most innovative, state of the art encryption technology in this environment of damaging cyber breaches. BABELNET is positioned to secure trade secrets and sensitive information for individuals and corporations from start-ups to Fortune500. From financial and medical institutions to governments. No other encryption technology on the market is as secure," says Roy Watkis II, CEO, Notlin Technologies.
Notlin Technologies founded in 1990, understands that information is not only a strategic asset but often the lifeline of a business, that technology has both tangible and intangible benefits and its infrastructure affects efficiency and relationships. Notlin Technologies offers real time monitoring with keen attention to long-term business growth utilizing the latest advances in technology with a solutions based approach to eliminating current and foreseeable concerns thereby allowing clients to focus on attaining goals. "Notlin Technologies has an excellent grasp on today's technology" says Craig Polite, Director of VMS/NT Systems, Toys "R" Us.

Stohlquist Life Jackets
Stohlquist Life Jackets are a consequence of entrepreneurial spirit, workmanship and unique designs originating from the business mind of founder and president, Jim Stohlquist. Each life jacket follows the lineage of 30 years of product inovation, refinement, and the incorporation of the most state of the art raw materials, into development and production that supplys their clients with the finest life jackets.
In early 2004, Stohlquist and Aqua Lung joined together as partners to capitalize on the strengths each has in growing the company, with products for both above and under the water. As president, Jim Stohlquist continues to direct the business providing the vision, direction and guidance with help from a robust group at Aqua Lung. OK, Jim is certainly an enthusiastic scuba diver, but his focus stays on his real love for sailing and paddle sports and producing top of the line safety gear. He has committed a lifetime to watersports and his distinctive and progressive products have been the natural result of his dedication.
From the initial days, Stohlquist has been a family owned firm. Situated in Buena Vista, Colorado the business is near the Arkansas River. Their goal has been on making the perfect product for security and comfort when on the wet and chilly water. Stohlquist continues to lead with advanced life jackets made for the extreme water enthusiast, and their primary product line is designing great life jackets for paddlers and boaters.
Some Stohlquist history,Jim and Bonny Stohlquist currently live high within the Colorado Mountains near the headwaters valleys of the Rio and Arkansas Grande. But before then, while studying Business and Engineering at CSU, and serving as president of the CSU Outdoor Club, he started a boat building business.He made a 22 pound kevlar, Glass Vinylester Epoxy, white-water playboat for the members of the outdoor club. It was light and powerful, practically bullet-proof, and made by his own hand. Out of this effort, Jim started Colorado Kayak Supply a mailorder company.
Immediately after graduating, Bonny & Jim married, and the company focus changed to the initiation of designs that propelled the development and rise at Stohlquist WaterWare. Paddling equipment was not available locally and the Arkansas river was always freezing cold, since most of it's water resulted from the runoff of the nearby 14000 foot mountain slopes. There were no drysuits or drytops at first, just stuff borrowed from other sports such as wetsuits and coated nylon work-out suits and even hockey helmets.
On a cold February day, Jim walked into a tiny, local sewing business in Salida, Colorado and discussed his ideas for a new type of life jacket, intended simply for kayaking. The sewing business was making watertight bike rain suits, had great products but also had deficiencies in distribution. Jim's designed his first life jacket and it was a winner in the marketplace. The business grew. He stopped building boats concentrated on white water gear survival gear developing one new product after another. Drytops, Drypants, Drysuits, Life Jackets, every one unique, and each completely intended for paddling sports. The company grew, and Stohlquist is now a real force in the production of kayacking equipment and water safety equipment. Their life jackets are among the finest made. Take a look at their offerings, you probably will find one that suits perfectly!

Day 167: Stained Glass, originally uploaded by susanvg.
When I bought my house over twenty years ago, it was really by fluke. I wasn't looking for a house just in this area. However, my brother-in-law, who was 25 years older than I, was a friend of the owner and had always raved about it. Coincidentally, I had gone to high school with the owner's son. When my real estate agent suggested seeing the house, I jumped on the chance, more out of curiousity than because I thought I would buy it. When I saw it, it just seemed right. The owner was thrilled that someone he knew was acquiring his beloved home.
Mr. E. had an extensive art collection. This piece of stained glass hung on the wall in the dining room. He left it for me, saying that the dining-room would just not be right without it.
I subsequently learned more about the artist, Eric Wesselow, an innovative glass artist, whose technique of layering glass instead of using lead became known as the Eric Wesselow System. He phoned me once, wanting to come and photograph the work, but unfortunately, he passed away before this could be arranged. Lovely as this looks in my dining room, I don't think I'll be leaving it behind when I move.
If you are interested in learning more about Eric Wesselow, read this article.

TORONTO — Advertising network Juicy Ads announced the launch of its new PopUnder service.
The company said the new PopUnder service is far less intrusive than interstitials (full-screen ads that take over entire existing windows) and can be installed as a bolt-on to existing JuicyAds services, or as an individual solution for new customers, by simply pasting a short snippet of code to any website.
"We are excited to launch our PopUnder service for our clients," said JuicyJay, founder of JuicyAds. "With JuicyAds it's always about our customers and what will help them increase revenues. PopUnders are something that they wanted so we worked to develop one of the easiest PopUnder services in the industry. Any company that taps JuicyAds' PopUnder service will immediately enjoy additional revenue for traffic that is already monetized through banner ads and it's a non-competitive revenue stream. It's basically a win across the board."
Various companies have been using the BETA version of JuicyAds PopUnders. According to Arthur from Yobt.com, "JuicyAds PopUnders is the real deal. They said we were going to make great money and, once again, JuicyAds delivers."
According to the company, its PopUnder service is profitable because it's CPM-based and drives traffic.
Current customers of the service are earning $2 CPM and higher on select countries. There is no cost for publishers to sign up for the new service.
The new PopUnder User Interface allows clients more control over their PopUnder campaigns, a step beyond the limited Beta platform, the company said.
"Another differentiating factor between JuicyAds' PopUnders and the competition's, is that JuicyAds PopUnders will not annoy surfers of client websites, as JuicyAds only pop once per user, per day," the company said.

Germany Intensifies Push For the Top Post at EBRD
KIEV, Ukraine -- Germany stepped up a quiet but increasingly assertive campaign for the top job at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
"Nowhere in the EBRD's statutes does it say that the president must be French," said Klaus Regling, Germany's alternate governor to the EBRD. "I think it's high time for a German president."

The program for "Wicked Ways" lists Jesus Christ as executive producer, but only those who favor message-laden gospel musicals are likely to find this show heaven-sent.
Currently playing a one-week run at the Lyric Opera House, "Wicked Ways" is written, directed and produced by Michael Matthews. And like his other effort, "Momma Don't," its chief thematic virtue is its willingness to tackle one of the ugliest contemporary plagues -- drugs.
However, the anti-drug message would be more compelling if the characters and structure were better developed. Instead, the ostensible central character, an aspiring drug dealer called Snap (Cordell Moore), is too often on the sidelines -- or absent entirely. And his father (Dereck Brinkley), who holds the dual authority roles of police captain and church deacon, is portrayed as a buffoon.

As, I used my 33% off coupon at Borders to day to buy, Back to Bed, Ed! the gentleman at the register (who told me was a former school librarian) commented about how much he loved the illustrations in this book. I couldn't help but feel the same way as when I first eyed the book a few weeks ago.
Being purposeful and opinionated about what books we like and dislike is so important to model for our students (as well as be able to support why or why not). I also love to make further connections to the work of authors and illustrators that I enjoy. I think it is important to model this when introducing first reads to students. So I searched for more to see what connections I could make to Sebastien Braun. I found out that Sebastien Braun has a wonderfully creative website that features his library (published work), his studio (his work in progress) and his loft (selections of his past work). He also has a 3-D link that features his pieces along with the mediums he used. I can't help but think about how kids could use website for art mentor ideas (I am thinking of my own sons who would love to create with recycled wood and acrylic paint).
Also, after perusing his site, I realized that I own another title he has written. So tomorrow I will also make known Meeow and the Big Box, which is in our cat book basket. I am happy to find out that Sebastien Braun wrote Meeow and the Big Box along with two other books in the" Meeow" series ( Meeow and the Little Chairs and Meeow and the Blue Table). So, I went right to the library to reserve them. The kids will not only find excitement in the one new book that I display but they will form connections with other books or ideas that we are thinking about. With these subtle connections, the excitement, learning and reading become heightened in the classroom.
Finally to why Back to Bed, Ed will be perfect for first graders:
First, Ed is young (preschool) like my students and often wants to sleep in his parents bed and many will likely have connections to this (go here for a quick synopsis of the story).
Second, the story will be a great independent read for some of my already transitional readers who need the thinking scaffolds that a picture book has to offer them.
Last, since this book has such a distinct character, I will put Ed's copied picture up on our rime wall. This word wall (really just an area on my cupboards) is delineated with the vowels. It helps me help kids build on many word concepts (we build words from common rimes, we talk about how versatile vowels are in our language (did you know the letter a makes like 31 sounds?), we learn the common "chunks" or rimes that are associated with the short and long vowels, I use it for guided writing to help make connections to sounds and rimes kids are learning with my help and kids use it during writing workshop to make connections to words they are writing independently). It is a very used wall of cupboards. This wall is in addition to our high frequency word wall that I have on the back of magnetic bookshelves. Ed will
help kids remember the "hard to remember" sound commonly known as short e (my own second grade son still struggles knowing what to write when he hears this sound).
Building connections in simple ways helps kids remember and understand. Why not use the authenticity of a picture book to help us teach everything about reading, writing and understanding words!
(here is part of our rime wall with Cat the Cat from Mo Willems' popular series and Jet (a little dog) from Joey and Jet by James Yang, another fun series my kids enjoy)

Hi Guys!
I would be really grateful if anyone can help me with the following query:
As per the notification from JKPSC on 19th March, all future exams of KAS would be conducting within 15 days of UPSC civil services exams. They also mentioned that the Mains for JKPSC 2016 examination would be held in July 2018.
The UPSC 2018 prelims are in June 2018. Now there is no possibility that the JKPSC 2018 Prelims notification will come before they complete the mains for 2016 i.e. July.
My query is that is there a possibility that JKPSC will issue new notification for JKPSC Prelims this year or it will come only in 2019?
Thanks for your help in advance guys!

Winter is a difficult and potentially dangerous period on the UK's roads (to find out how to fully prepare for the cold season, read our winter driving guide) with conditions, light and grip levels changing rapidly. It's therefore important to have the right equipment for your car in order to stay safe.
That's why Suzuki has lowered prices for winter tyres on all its models by 10% on average compared to last year, and is now offering a storage facility for your summer rubber, too.
Suzuki Aftersales Marketing Manager, Michael Le-Flay: "Many people are unaware of the fact that when temperatures drop below 7°C, the rubber in standard tyres becomes harder and less flexible, which affects braking and cornering performance.
"It doesn't matter how many electronic aids your car may have, the quality of its tyres is critical. The compound used for cold weather tyres, and their tread design are tailored to cope with adverse conditions, so that the best levels of car control can be maintained."
Fitting winter rubber is not just a fad – it actually works. It can prove an investment, too. Far from being an expensive waste of money throughout the winter, when the time comes to re-fit your summer tyres, you can store your cold weather hoops for use the next year – some drivers can get three year's use from a set.
But most importantly, it could save you from having to postpone a vital journey over the Christmas period, for example – or worse still, prevent against abandoning your car part way through a trip.
It can sound melodramatic, but winter rubber can be the difference between you getting to your destination safely and a nasty accident.
Fortunately, with Suzuki's storage system, there's no hassle to packing away your summer or dry weather tyres, either. The firm is offering annual storage from £49.99, including a wheel and tyre inspection and wheel balancing service every time you change your tyres over.
For just £99.99 customers can opt for an inspection of their vehicle's most important safety feature, too: its brakes. Alongside this, Suzuki will safety check and clean your car's wheels.
Prices for Suzuki's winter tyre scheme begin at £99 each for its Alto city car, rising to £199 each for its rugged off-road Grand Vitara SUV – it does boast a lot of rubber after all…

The Romanian Parliamentary Vote: From Protest to Protest
A year after a series of protests ended with the ousting of the Social Democratic Party-led government, the party reemerges as the dominant political force in Romania. Titus Udrea analyses the latest Romanian election and its ensuing developments that have led Romania on the brink of political crisis.
The Local Elections in Romania – Business as Usual?
In regard to the latest developments in Romania, the country has experienced visible protest movements since 2013. At the beginning of July 2016, local elections were held. Tina Olteanu argues that those elections are not only a test for the upcoming parliamentary elections at the end of this year. They are also an indicator where voters in general and the protest movement(s) in Romania are heading.
"The days we don't give in." The Romanian social movements between 2012 and 2015
From January 2012 until December 2015, Romania faced the most important social movements since the fall of the communist regime. This article represents an overview of the main street protests which marked the rise of a consistent and powerful civil society.

Parts Brand Research
At IMR, we always begin by establishing the facts. It's important to understand a brand stands for, and what its values are, especially, in the eyes of your customers. Furthermore, it's important to recognize how these compare with the values of your competitors.
IMR has existing, off the shelf, research on many parts brands within our CCAMS and Installer Parts Tracking syndicated studies that measure unaided and aided awareness, usage, preference, brand share, brand attributes and other useful insights to help you get a quick understanding of your brand position in the market place.
In addition to syndicated, readily available brand research, we deliver customized brand studies that provide direction, insight, and uncover opportunities to strengthen competitive position. We view brand development as a mix of creativity and marketing information to uncover brand positioning opportunities in market spaces often cluttered with brand noise.
We tackle b2b branding research with a structured approach, assessing your brand's value by measuring its performance at every stage of the brand funnel (shown below). This includes the vitally important component of awareness. Without awareness, the brand is effectively useless. Being able to measure interest is equally important since it enables us to determine whether your brand is in somebody's 'consideration set.'
It is important for us to measure both penetration – that is the percentage of your target market that actually uses your brand – as well as advocacy levels (those who are likely to recommend your brand).
A very useful way of measuring brand efficiency is to calculate the proportion of those that are likely to recommend your brand compared to the total number who are aware of it.
Only when you understand your own strengths and weaknesses, and those of your competitors, is intelligent brand strategy possible. Recognizing those strengths and weaknesses at different stages in the brand funnel can, for example, enable your direct marketing resources to be directed where they will be most effective. Competing brands, meanwhile, can be attacked in the areas where you can see that they are weak.

Is 20g of cyclobenzaprine too much in one night? If you just started taking it?
- Asked
- 29 Jul 2015 by andres567
- Updated
- 29 July 2015
- Topics
- cyclobenzaprine
Responses (2)
Usual Adult Dose for Muscle Spasm
Initial dose: 5 mg orally 3 times a day.
Based on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to either 7.5 mg or 10 mg 3 times a day.
Alternate doses include the 15 mg extended release capsule or 30 mg extended release capsule orally once a day.
Usual Geriatric Dose for Muscle Spasm
Because most muscle relaxants and antispasmodic drugs can cause anticholinergic adverse events, sedation, and weakness, and because their effectiveness at doses tolerated by elderly people is questionable, cyclobenzaprine meets the Beers criteria as a medication that is potentially inappropriate for use in older adults.
The manufacturer suggests an initial dose in the elderly of 5 mg, titrating slowly upward based on individual patient response.
Extended release formulations are not recommended for use in elderly patients.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Muscle Spasm
Pediatric patients 15 years of age and older:
Initial dose: 5 mg orally 3 times a day.
Based on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to either 7.5 mg or 10 mg 3 times a day.
Renal Dose Adjustments
Data not available
Liver Dose Adjustments

Immediate release: Initial dose: 5 mg, titrating slowly upward
Extended release: Not recommended
Moderate to severe hepatic impairment:
Not recommended

Data not available
Other Comments
Use of cyclobenzaprine for periods longer than 2 to 3 weeks is not generally recommended.
Always consult with your Dr. first.-

Report: Consumers Trust Visa and PayPal for Mobile Payments
Sept, 24, 2012
Visa and PayPal were cited as the most preferred mobile wallet providers by consumers in a recent report from California-based research firm Javelin Strategy & Research. While the jury remains out on whether and how quickly consumers will use mobile wallets, the report indicated consumers comfortable with mobile banking are ready to adopt them. Sixty percent of consumers who use mobile banking would likely adopt mobile wallets in the next 12 months. Fifteen percent of consumers named Visa when asked what company they would trust to handle their mobile payments and another 13 percent tabbed PayPal. Isis partners Verizon and AT&T were only cited by 9 percent and less than 5 percent of consumers named Apple, Google or Facebook as a preferred mobile payments provider.
"Consumers have spoken, and the primary bank relationship and the payment networks, such as Visa and PayPal, will be a key part of any widespread mobile wallet," said Jim Van Dyke, president and founder of Javelin Strategy & Research. "Google was first out the door with NFC and has stumbled."
Javelin researchers said they expected Apple's iPhone 5 to lead the charge on NFC, but the new device does not support contactless payments.

Increasing emphasis on client satisfaction may be changing the way wealth managers get paid and how they are evaluated.
The traditional fee that advisors charge, based on the percentage of assets under management, may be giving way to new client-centric reward and incentive structures, according to PwCs 2013 Global Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey, Navigating to tomorrow: serving clients and creating value.
Theres going to be more emphasis on serving the client, says Steven Crosby, head of the Americas unit of PwCs global private banking and wealth management division and one of the authors of the report. Historically the focus was on net new money but were seeing a shift to the client experience, the clients goals and managing risk.
The high priority firms are placing on attracting and developing quality client relationship manager talent is driving firms to reconsider compensation models, according to the report, which was a released Wednesday.
Setting the tone from the top and aligning rewards and incentives with ethical behavior is integral to rebuilding reputational equity and reclaiming trusted advisor status, the report stated.
Revenue growth will replace both net new money growth and gross return in assets under management as the leading performance metric in the next two years, according to the report.
Profitability by relationship managers and managing the cost of servicing are also expected to become substantially more important. In addition, firms are now focusing on enhancing long-term incentives tied to goals, the study stated.
Firms are beginning to measure wealth managers performance by such metrics as customer satisfaction, Crosby says. Firms want to be able to have a dashboard or scorecard to keep track of how relationship executives are doing."
Revenue growth doesnt necessarily have to come from a rise in in asset value, Crosby says.
If an advisor is a better steward of the customer experience, he will not ignore the clients spouse or children or philanthropic foundation, which could [all] be areas of future growth, he says.
A shift in compensation and evaluation is starting to evolve, one of the wealth management industrys most respected observers agreed.
While the change is primarily aspirational in its early stages, Mark Tibergien, managing director and chief executive officer of Pershing Advisor Solutions, says that the industry is beginning to see a combination of fees tied to investment management with the total value of advice given to a client.
The challenge will be to align fees with value and pricing with compensation, Tibergien says.
Compliance, according to the PwC study, was the top risk concern of wealth managers, followed by client and suitability risk.
Understanding exactly what the right products are for advisors will be a major issue, Crosby says. There will be regulatory changes involving due diligence, documentation and archiving, but firms are already taking steps down that path, and have the process in place because they already have to comply with the IRS Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report.

NEW! Live Inventory Listing with Pictures
There is now a live inventory listing with pictures which is updated daily, and which you can search using your standard browser search function (Ctrl-F).
Right now it shows incoming consignment only; not the brand new retail kind of stuff, or the cute little doohickies like belt buckles and wristbands.
Gadzooks! Keeping track of what's arriving just got so much easier.
If you see something you want, call us to ask about it!
+ + +
A super-common question we get is "Why don't you put every item on the website with a funny write-up and make it, like, an online store?"
In reply, we present the hopefully-entertaining:
A Day in the Life of East Side Re-Rides:
10:00 Open the store. Someone consigns a big box of apparel.
10:30 While writing tags for the stuff that just came in, you decide to do a write-up on a pair of very cool boots that were in the collection.
11:00 Still tagging the new stock. More shoppers.
12:00 Finished tagging. Finish selling things to the people looking for all-weather gear. Regard the boots. They're pretty cool! What humourous thing shall we say about them? Whoops, here's another shopper.
12:41 A moment alone. Start a post for the website. Entitle it: Very Cool Boots! until there's time to think of something punchier. Start typing "These boots are…." Someone walks in, bringing more things to consign. Stuff! We love stuff!
1:56 New stock is consigned, tagged, three customers have bought leather jackets, four people have phoned with questions, two people have picked up their consignment cheques. Regard the very cool boots again. Realize you can't think because you have to pee, and your blood sugar is crashing because it's been a long time since breakfast. Quick, there's no-one in the store!
2:09 Thank goodness for granola bars. Greet the customers just coming in. They're pretty self-directed, so seize the moment and take a picture of the Very Cool Boots, which you'll use in the post all about them on the website! Whoops, is that the phone ringing?
3:54 People trying on racing suits often need the extra hand to get into the shoulders. And all those chaps needed to be hung up again. Here's a free moment! Import the image of the Very Cool Boots into the post. Now it has an image and says merely "These boots are…"
5:23 In between incoming consignment, and sales ranging from bandanas to helmets to jackets to pants, write a funny thing about the Very Cool Boots. Done!
5:24 As you wind up to hit the "Post" button, another shopper comes in and buys the Very Cool Boots. Yay! You love selling stuff!
5:45 Suddenly realize that there's no point in posting those particular boots any more. Sigh to self. Smile brightly at the customers coming in. There's at least a few minutes left in the day. You're sure you'll be able pick a different new item and get a post done by the end of the day…. right?
