Good news for Indian fans as Prithvi Shaw could return for the second Test
- Updated: December 6, 2018
- 1021
While the Indian batsmen are making things tough for themselves in Adelaide, they might have some good news on the horizon as their injured opener Prithvi Shaw has already started walking and if things go well, we could see him in action in the series.
Ahead of day one of the first Test, Indian coach Ravi Shastri admitted that it was heartbreaking to see him get injured and also pointed out that he has started to walk and if he manages to start running by this week, there are chances that he could play the second Test in Perth.
"It was heartbreaking to see him go down. But the good thing is he's recovering quickly. He's already started walking. Hopefully, if we can get him to run a bit by the weekend, that's really good signs. With youth on his side, there might just be a case where he might recover quicker. We'll make a call as and when we get closer to Perth," Shastri said.
The 19-year-old batsman, who scored a brisk 64 in the warm-up game against Cricket Australia XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground last week, was ruled out of the opening Test after hurting his left ankle while trying to take a catch at the deep mid-wicket boundary later in the match.
The incident happened in the 15th over of Cricket Australia XI's innings, when opener Max Bryant latched on to an R Ashwin delivery and tried to hit him over midwicket. Shaw got under the ball, caught it, put it down when he went tumbling over the ropes and in the process, he injured his ankle badly. He was visibly in pain and was struggling to stand on his feet before he was carried into the dressing by physio Patrick Farhart.
With KL Rahul and Murali Vijay struggling, Shaw's return will be a welcome news to the Indian team management.

3G roaming agreements is illegal in the country, saying department of telecommunication . In a move that hurt mobile operators providing 3G services, department of telecommunication (DOT) has asked these operators to withdraw their roaming agreements which were the violation of license norms.
Already similar observations are made by telecom regulatory authority of India and the law ministry, telecommunications and IT minister Kapil Sibel has asked telecom secretary R Chandrasekharan to send notices to impose penalty on these operators for violating 3G license norms.
"The decision has been taken that this (3G roaming pacts) is in violation of terms and conditions of the license. The government will be issuing notices asking them (operators) to stop their service with immediate effect. But on penalty, no decision has been taken yet," telecom secretary R Chandrasekhar said.
In the 3G spectrum auction held earlier this year, where the government fetched over Rs 67700 core , no private operator managed to bag pan India license , thus barring them from offering nation wide services , Reliance communication, Bharti Airtel and Aircel bagged the highest number 13 circles in the 3G auction.
Subsequently Airtel ,Vodafone and Idea entered into a roaming agreement to use each other networks for providing pan-India 3G coverage. Similar agreements were also entered between Tata and Aircel which they later terminated. After receiving complaints ,the DOT look into the matter and took legal opinion. Now the DOT will issue notices to these firms to terminate their contracts with immediate effect or face action.

Game achievements, popularized recently by the success of XBox Live, have become an almost expected feature in games today. Players love the bragging rights and recognition of accomplishments and as a developer you can utilize achievements to increase engagement and re-playability within your game and even get a better understanding of your games tuning and what resonates with players when planning an update.
If you havent seen Jesse Schells excellent Dice 2010 talk, I definitely recommend it. In it he discusses the meta game, creating an experience that lives on top of other experiences. One can see a future where achievements are rewarded for everyday tasks and one OpenFeint-enabled application, Dunnit! (a to-do list) does just that. Coming back down to game development, achievements are a great way to reward your players and give them new challenges above and beyond your standard gameplay options.
Creating Achievements
The development of achievements should not just consist of slapping points onto the completion of a level and calling it a day. There are so many opportunities to use achievements to guide users, introduce them to new game mechanics, and provide hints to other things that players can do in the game. The basics can consist of elevating the number of points awarded for each level completed and some kind of capstone if your game has an ending.
Moving to the next level, early on its a good idea to reward more complex movements that will be absolutely necessary later in the game. A good example of this is introducing chaining mechanics in a puzzle game. The first chain can unlock a small achievement with larger rewards later on for much more complicated chains. Some developers have gone so far as to put achievement points within an optional tutorial, giving users more incentive to learn how to play the game before jumping in.
Regardless of how you implement early achievements, its important that you dont bombard the user with achievements, particularly if youre using a more invasive notification, as it may provide more of a distraction than a reward. User feedback with fresh builds can give you a good basis for calibration.
Have fun creating achievements for things that come up in testing or that reward experimental behavior. A good example of this is found in Jet Car Stunts Car Tricks achievements. Unlocking them is generally going to net you a slower track time, but rewarding the player for fun activities like a 360 flip draws attention to cool events in your game and gives achievement junkies a goal to try themselves. Some of the most charming achievements are those that are based on aggregate behavior that comes during regular gameplay. Tiki Totems tracks the number of times you fail (breaking the idol) and awards achievements such as Gave Volcano Gods an Ulcer and Volcano Gods Now in Counseling.
For the true achievement junkies, theres nothing better to reel them in than by creating secret achievements. Entire forum threads have sprung up with players trying to figure out how to unlock rewards that arent listed. Going off of this, you can also use secret achievements to hide story or gameplay elements from players who have not yet gotten that far. For example, you wouldnt want something like Darth Vader is Luke Skywalkers father 10 points.
Point Distribution
At OpenFeint all games are allocated 1,000 points to distribute as player rewards. There are a few overall policies [Link to policies doc], but in general we encourage developers to tailor the achievements based on game difficulty or milestones. A good rule of thumb is to break achievements into categories and determine the number of points for each. We recommend the following:
5-10 points: Easy / Creative Basic gameplay elements (tutorials, easter eggs, etc.) and easily obtainable thresholds. 25 points: Medium Obtainable by players who have invested some time with the game and have gone beyond the first few difficulty levels. 50 points: Hard Only players who have truly mastered the game should be able to obtain these. Often requires the player to specifically aim for the guidelines of the achievement. 100 points: Nightmare Capstone achievements, such as finishing all the levels or aggregate achievements that require significant gameplay investment to obtain (e.g. kill a million zombies)
Its probably best to have a few base achievements for the different difficulty levels and fill in the rest as you and your testers start uncovering events that are interesting, difficult, or entertaining. Aggregate gameplay achievements (along with a way of knowing how youre progressing) is a great way to drive re-engagement, particularly if the player is close to the threshold. Dont feel pressure to use all 1,000 points right out of the gate. In fact you should hold back some to allow for game updates, new achievements to bring players back, or unveiling achievements later on that call attention to elements that you discover players are ignoring. One other thing, if you provide achievements that dont end in 0 or 5, give the players some method to square things up. Its not something we hear about that often, but it does drive some players crazy that their gamer score seems uneven.
I cannot stress this enough: achievement notifications should not interrupt gameplay. At OpenFeint weve seen countless games use the default achievement notification that appears along the bottom of the screen, often resulting in the player launching the OpenFeint dashboard because it appears over the games controls. If you really want to optimize notifications you should really be customizing the experience for your user and not interrupting the play session.

By Siddhartha Shankar Mishra
The British ruled India for about two hundred long years.Even after they retreated , they left an indelible mark on the mind of the young India, whether it be in the form of legislation their culture or most importantly the craze for westernization. We are always in the run of aping the west be it through western outfits or their lifestyles without delving deep into the consequences or repercussions of those acts on our society. Sometimes we defy our own culture in order to endorse theirs and label ourselves as the children of the globalized world. One of the such ongoing trends is the culture of live in relationship.
Live-in-relationship is the arrangement in which a man and a woman live together without getting married. This is now a day's being taken as an alternative to marriage especially in the metropolitan cities. Currently the law is unclear about the status of such relationship though a few rights have been granted to prevent gross misuse of the relationship by the partners.
"Married in haste, we repent at leisure"
The above line by William Congreve truly defines the mentality of the live in couples.The hectic lives of the metros don't leave time for nurturing a family in its true sense.Now a days people are becoming more and more individualistic and career oriented. They spend less time at home and more time in offices.With more and more women going out for work, the nurturer of the family is not giving enough time for family and children. So actually why is there the need to go into marital bonding and forsake one's liberty?Everyone likes a life free of tensions and responsibility.After working for night shifts who wants to get up early the next day to prepare children's tiffin and make ready them for school?
Moreover, the divorce laws are too cumbersome in India.If one has to get a divorce then it takes years to finally get it done and trauma suffered by the partners during these years is too much. This is also one of the biggest reason for live in relations.There are too many legalities involved with the institution of marriage which one can easily escape in the case of live in relationships. It's a much popular analogy of live in relationship that its like "taking a car for a test drive "as the couple can easily walk in and walk out of the relationship without any legal bondage. Its better to know the person beforehand than marrying in haste and getting oneself in a legal mess.
We have to view the relationships from an important perspective of the institution of marriage and our duty to protect and preserve the sanctity of marriage. There are certain venues and spheres which are beyond the realm of law. Those are the norms and dictates of conscience, sanctity of marriage, lifelong commitment and responsibilities of parenthood.
I feel the live in relationships are permissible so long as the person doesn't undergo the ceremony of marriage. It is alright if the factum of pre – marital relationship is disclosed to the person and it is ignored or condoned. But in several cases the non disclosure of this material fact especially in NRI marriages are resulting in the nullification of the marriage on the ground of fraud under section 5(1)(c) of the Hindu Marriage Act. There are still arranged marriages prevalent and the boys and girls are willing to undergo the same trusting their parents and their experience. The character, the antecedents of the boy or girl assume importance in such marriages. The marriages are made on earth and are broken on earth and that is the accepted state now, especially when we accept and approve the pre-maritial relationships before marriage.
The Fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India grants to all its citizens "right to life and personal liberty" which means that one is free to live the way one wants.Live in relationship may be immoral in the eyes of the conservative Indian society but it is not "illegal" in the eyes of law.In case of Kushboo,the south Indian actress who endorsed pre- marital sex and live in relationship,22 criminal appeals were filed against her which the Supreme Court quashed saying that how can it be illegal if two adults live together, in their words "living together cannot be illegal."
Now the problem is not just limited to the legality of the relationship but now people are coming up about the rights of the live in partners and the status of children born out of such wedlock.The Hindu Marriage Act 1955 gives the status of legitimacy to every child, irrespective of birth out of a void, voidable or valid marriage. However, they don't have property and maintenance rights.In case the couple break up then who would maintain the child in case none wants to take responsibility remains a big problem.
In S.P.S Balasubramanyam Vs Suruthaya @ Andali Padayachi and Ors. AIR 1992 SC 756, the Supreme court held that if man and woman are living under the same roof and cohabiting for a number of years, there will be a presumption under section 114 of the Evidence Act, that they Live as husband and wife and the children born to them will not be illegitimate.
In Adan Mohan Singh Vs Rajni Kant, the Supreme Court observed "The courts have consistently held that the law presumes in favor of marriage and against concubinage, when a man and woman have cohabited continuously for a number of years. However, such presumption can be rebutted by leading unimpeachable evidence. (vide: Mohabbat Ali Khan Vs Mohd. Ibrahim Khan, AIR 1929 PC 135; Gokalchand Vs Parvin Kumar, AIR 1952 SC 231; S.P.S Balasubramanyam Vs Suruttayan (1994) 1 SCC 460; Ranganath Parmeshwar Panditrao Mali Vs Eknath Gajanan Kularni (1996) 7 SCC 681; and Sobha Hymavathi Devi Vs Setti Gangadhara Swamy and Ors., (2005) 2 SCC 244).
In appeal filed by the well know actress, Khushboo seeking quashing of criminal proceedings filed against her mostly in the state of Tamil Nadu, for the remarks made by her in an interview to a leading new magazine. The Hon'ble Supreme court opined that a man and woman living together without marriage cannot be construed as an offence.
The Apex court said there was no law which prohibits Live-in relationship or pre-marital sex.
The Supreme court, held that Live-in relationship is permissible only in unmarried major persons of heterogeneous sex. In case, one of the said persons is married, man may be guilty of offence of adultery and it would amount to an offence under section 497 IPC.
In June, 2008, The National Commission for Women recommended to Ministry of Women and Child Development made suggestion to include live in female partners for the right of maintenance under Section 125 of CrPC. This view was supported by the judgement in Abhijit Bhikaseth Auti v. State Of Maharashtra and Others . The positive opinion in favour of live in relationship was also seconded by Maharashtra Government in October, 2008 when it accepted the proposal made by Malimath Committee and Law Commission of India which suggested that if a woman has been in a live-in relationship for considerably long time, she ought to enjoy the legal status as given to wife. However, recently it was observed that it is divorced wife who is treated as a wife in context of Section 125 of CrPC and if a person has not even been married i.e. the case of live in partners, they cannot be divorced, and hence cannot claim maintenance under Section 125 of CrPC.
In France, there is the provision of "Civil Solidarity Pacts" known as "pacte civil de solidarite" or PaCS, passed by the French National Assembly in October 1999 that allows couples to enter into a union by signing before a court clerk. The contract binds "two adults of different sexes or of the same sex, in order to organise their common life" and allows them to enjoy the rights accorded to married couples in the areas of income tax, housing and social welfare. The contract can be revoked unilaterally or bilaterally after giving the partner, three month's notice in writing.
In Philippines, live in relationship couple's right to each other's property is governed by co- ownership rule. Article 147, of the Family Code, Philippines provides that when a man and a woman who are capacitated to marry each other, live exclusively with each other as husband and wife without the benefit of marriage or under a void marriage, their wages and salaries shall be owned by them in equal shares and the property acquired by both of them through their work or industry shall be governed by the rules on co-ownership.
In the UK, live in couples does not enjoy legal sanction and status as granted to married couple. There is no obligation on the partners to maintain each other. Partners do not have inheritance right over each other's property unless named in their partner's will. As per a 2010 note from the Home Affairs Section to the House of Commons, unmarried couples have no guaranteed rights to ownership of each other's property on breakdown of relationship. However, the law seek to protect the right of child born under such relationship. Both parents have the onus of bringing up their children irrespective of the fact that whether they are married or cohabiting.
The live in relation were conferred legal sanctity in Scotland in the year 2006 by Family Law (Scotland) Act. Section 25 (2) of the Act postulates that a court of law can consider a person as a co-habitant of another by checking on three factors; the length of the period during which they lived together, the nature of the relationship during that period and the nature and extent of any financial arrangements, in case of breakdown of such relationship, Section 28 of the Act gives a cohabitant the right to apply in court for financial support. This is in case of separation and not death of either partner. If a partner dies intestate, the survivor can move the court for financial support from his estate within 6 months.
Supreme Court's verdict on live in relationships has been welcomed by couples, who are living in, but people who have high respect for tradition still remain on the other side.
Talking about prostitution, it is illegal in India, but do we see a reduction in the number of brothels in the country? Can we legalize this practice in India, which is prevailing for decades now? Same holds for live in relationships.
One big question is that if a living in couple wants same rights as marriage couples, why not they get married then? There are many grey areas. Will the law treat single, married man cohabiting with a man in the same way? For how long the woman or man have to be in live in to qualify for maintenance? If a live in couple has a child and later decide to part ways, what will be the future of the child ? Why should an innocent child suffer without any mistake?
Did we hear of the oldest profession in the world? Is it not true that ever since human memory is recorded, there have been instances of man seducing the other woman or the woman seducing the other man. The Indian values have been undergoing changes. Even 50 years ago, there was a joint family system, all living under one roof; no longer so, the couple look for a separate apartment even before getting married. With the internet culture overtaking all other cultures nothing is any more taboo. Moreover, there can be many, many genuine reasons that a couple wants to stay together without creating encumbrances. How many young wives are there in India with a child or two, whose legally married husband has deserted? Live-in will avoid at least children and their misfortunes in most cases, and both will have an option open to rectify the mistake, if it was so. Both will not treat the other as their private property and will learn to respect each other and be more matured in the process. So, nothing is wrong. Anyway, no values are left in Indian society, politics, business and even religious activity except one value and that is hypocrisy.
Many people imagine that living together before marriage resembles taking a car for a test drive. The "trial period" gives people a chance to discover whether they are compatible. This analogy seems so compelling that people are unable to interpret the mountains of data to the contrary.
Here's the problem with the car analogy: the car doesn't have hurt feelings if the driver dumps it back at the used car lot and decides not to buy it. The analogy works great if you picture yourself as the driver. It stinks if you picture yourself as the car.
Legalizing live in relationship means that a totally new set of laws need to be framed for governing the relations including protection in case of desertion, cheating in such relationships, maintenance, inheritance etc.Litigation would drastically increase in this case.
Moreover the psychological impact on children born out of this relationship would be very bad leading to mental diseases and criminal tendencies. All this would give rise to an unstable society.
The most important fact that why do people get in live in relationships? If we would make so many laws regarding it then what will happen to the whole idea of liberty that is attached to such live in relationship. Now it is upon us to weigh the pros and cons of this and then accordingly take a decision for ourselves.

Yeats, Lux, Ciardi, Toomer: Can We Pull It All Together?
A Little Tooth - Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More
For Instance by John Ciardi : Poetry Magazine [poem/magazine] : Find Poems and Poets. Discover Poetry.
RPO -- William Butler Yeats : A Prayer for my Daughter
Reapers by Jean Toomer from Cane, 1923
Thanks to bloggers Altadenahiker.blogspot (hereafter, AH) and Brenda'sArizona.blogspot (Brenda) for substantial and clever responses to Thomas Lux and William Butler Yeats poems that I discussed only lightly on March 23. What I say today will make more sense if you check out that day's exchanges in the Visitors' Comments and have a look at yesterday's poem, "Reapers," by Jean Toomer.
I agree with practically everything AH and Brenda say, except that I wouldn't be as hard on "Little Tooth" as they are.
AH, your comparisons have never been better, including the coffee and salad remark (I won't rush it with today's talk, which is really just part 2 of Tuesday's talk, and thus pretty long, for which I apologize). Your linking of Daisy Buchanan to Yeats' hopes for his daughter seems right on the money to me.
Or, how about this: Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire aspires to be, or thinks she is, Daisy Buchanan because she lacks . . . what? . . . the character? the depth . . . to think about herself the way Yeats thinks about his daughter? Blanche seems to mistake graciousness and dignity for aristocratic noise (southern style). Or, are Yeats' hopes almost as aristocratic, muted by a dollop more intelligence and grace?
Also, AH, your comparison of "Little Tooth" to Ciardi's "For Instance" (see the Feb. 17 Banjo52) is intriguing. Someone (not me) could probably make an interesting argument about the ways one of those poems succeeds more than the other.
Brenda, I think you and AH are both right about reasons the Yeats is not sexist, but I bet there are those who disagree. (I know there used to be such folks).
In Lux's "A Little Tooth" I see him pulling the camera lens back, looking at all people, families, parents, and all daughters from a distance, and saying something like, "Here's what we look like once you strip away our soft self-interest, our delusions about our importance in the larger scheme of things, and various other sentimentality."
Even from that sort of cold, scientific or sociological perspective, the conclusion, "Your daughter is tall," packs a wallop for me. It's a variation on the old Latin maxims, tempus fugit and ubi sunt. Or, remember Malvina Reynolds' famous song, "Turn Around"—"Turn around and you're a young man with babes of your own"--isn't that the line? Well, that's a nice song (which I don't mean to be dismissive—I've always liked it), but if a serious poet tried that, without the music and with different expectations from his audience, it would come off as sentimental claptrap.
The risk for a poet of reigning in his emotions as completely as Lux does (or John Ciardi) is that he might strip the poem of feeling altogether. If most readers agree with AH that Ciardi succeeds in this gamble and Lux fails, the reasons for that are still interesting. Has Ciardi managed to leave his characters with their humanity in a way that Lux has not? If so, how?
So I don't think Lux is as indifferent as you say, especially about a daughter; instead, I think he's saying about us all, with a self-restraint that borders on bitterness, "It was hard. And this is what it all comes to. And the kid got tall. She's gone. So is everything." (I think now of Dean Young's scarecrow . . . ).
I won't argue that that's a complete explanation of a life or a family, but I think most of us err in the other direction, looking for ways to soften hard truths, letting ourselves off one or another hook. Maybe Lux is trying to look those truths in the eye, which might actually add depth to his feeling for a daughter. "Life is pretty much over—much ado about nothing. What hurts most is her absence, her distance."
Maybe this effort at objectivity is also an element in Jean Toomer's "Reapers" (see yesterday's post, March 24). Labor in southern fields is a subject that might tempt us toward idealized, pretty notions of a pastoral idyll. Here, it leads to the death of a rat, blood on the blade, and nary a word of sympathy for the animal or for the workers. In spite of the sensual rhymed couplets, we have a seemingly objective portrait of rural life as a rote process, devoid of compassion.
By the way, the workers are black, and Toomer was black, a figure in the Harlem Renaissance. To what extent is "Reapers" about race? And is its perspective at least a little like "For Instance" or "A Little Tooth"?

Banjomyn, you went from the salad to a buffet! Four entrees to taste and discuss!
A Little Tooth still sounds like an obit written by a stranger. She was tall. She grew teeth. She had a bad dude boyfriend. We all grew old.
For Instance - I love it. Did you see the movie UP? The first 15 - 20 minutes are a snapshot of Carl & Ellie's life... my husband reminded me that is why we don't go see some movies in the theatre. We both had tears streaming down our faces... Carl couldn't imagine his life without Ellie, and he couldn't imagine how to die, either. Maybe Ciardi's poem could be an obit, too, but it is a touching one. It has sentiment to it.
Maybe that is it: A Little Tooth is too cut and dried. Just the bones. No poetry to the lives. It is as if a stern father is trying to remember his daughter, his wife.
Ciardi's has sentiment, has emotional idealism. He not only remembers the life, but he feels it.
Reapers also has emotional. I read it and had to turn away and let out a big breath - a silent scream. DAMN, I said. DAMN. Ouch. Undo, undo.
Banjomyn, is the field rat supposed to signify the life of a reaper? You think?? Or is it to show a lower life form? Why do I feel pain for a rat but not for the reaper until they innoncently kill the rat? I had no feeling towards the reapers, I was just an observer of their lives, until the blood flowed. Then I ached for the rat and the reapers. Cane led me to a deeper emotion than his first few lines suggested.
If I spew too much, tell me.
Thanks for the buffet. What do you have for dessert?

What Ciardi has that Lux doesn't is the BIG IF followed by the probably not. That gives the poem an aching sadness and the final line the kick in the stomach. It also presents the paradox of learning the lesson that there's probably no lesson to be learned.

Brenda, you do not spew too much. When you really get into one of the poems, it shows, and you can make "Damn, ouch, undo, undo" into a very timely response (well, I wouldn't try it in the Harvard Ph.D. program--not that I've ever been there).
You're seeing "Reapers" very much the way I do. It sneaks up on me, maybe because I'm a sucker for the pastoral, the very guy I was criticizing somewhat in the post.
On second and third readings, I think the sound of blade on stone is what I should have been hearing in those first lines, instead of seeing moderately pretty farm country and noble, quaint farmhands.
I do think we're supposed to see a connection between the rat and the reapers, and hence the irony of the reapers' ignorance of or indifference to the rat. The fact that a lot of readers aren't sure what to think, except something vaguely bad and gory, might mean Toomer has succeeded too well at the old maxim of "show, don't tell."
But the more I read it, the less choice I think I have: the natural process is a matter of work, kill, eat or be eaten, and don't think too much in the process.
By the way, I might like "Banjomyn."
At least I chuckle.
AH, speaking of Ph.D. work, I think your three sentences constitute a dissertation. Your last sentence also hits on the issue of mental toughness, or lack of it. Maybe it's just me or a lot of people I know or people on the news -- wait, is that everyone? -- who fight your paradox tooth and nail. They end up with soft-headed cliches and excuses as escape routes.
And I suspect that a lot of that soft-headedness morphs into the mindless behavior and vapid speech making or rock-throwing that tries to pass for political or religious consciousness.
I think I mean this: paradox is a mentally difficult situation, and most of what we live in the midst of is paradoxical. "What a piece of work is man." Well, Hamlet, do you mean Hitler or Gandhi?
Therefore, many, many people run from complexity, seeking comfort in vapid cliches, knee-jerk reactions, and what have you.
And the lofty Banjo? He memorizes the school colors, nicknames, and locations of colleges all over the country. Or he goes around claiming he's psychic.

Earlier this month, I spoke about "Education and Transparency" at the Big Digital Adelaide conference. The event was put on at the Science Exchange and hosted some international speakers from Microsoft and RavenTools, as well as some local experts in the lineup including Dan Levy, Woj Kwasi and more.
In my session, I had initially intended to take everyone through some cool things they can do to measure social performance, however it got me to thinking about the broader issues around transparency in the industry. I think a need to perform has shrouded understanding of true returns and education. In this session, I talk about Education and Transparency in Digital and Social Media; why a lack of it has clouded the real effectiveness of the opportunity, and why they are needed for businesses to make the most of the opportunity.
The key take-outs of my session:
1. ???? Educate your clients on how social/digital can help business reach business goals directly (not "how" on a macro level, but how specifically what you do will help),
2. ???? Be transparent with how you are going to measure success before the campaign, and report clearly the results at the end (smoke and mirrors isn't good enough anymore) and
3. ???? Measure ROI against what you are actually paying for (when you pay for brand awareness on social you get awareness, not new customers as a DIRECT result of only that spend).
Hope that it was valuable for all who came! Thanks Woj Kwasi for the sneaky snap!

Young people affected by homelessness in north east England
Across England, around 44 per cent of people who access homelessness services in England are aged 18–24. And young people are three times more likely to have experienced homelessness over the past five years than are adults.
Early intervention to support young people and their families can reduce rates of homelessness. However, the relevant services need sufficient funding, specialist expertise, and effective partnerships. Good practice in supporting young homeless people is well established in the north east of England, but funding constraints remain a constant challenge. Where personalised support and 'psychologically informed environments' are available, these are effective in helping young people to move on. However, in order to do so they need access to suitable and affordable rental properties – and even in a region known for its relatively cheap housing, these can be hard to find.
This report builds on IPPR North's recent publication, The future of transitional supported housing, exploring the case of one key group of people who often rely on supported housing – young people affected by homelessness. We present findings from a study in the north east of England which looked at the experiences of stakeholders in the area of youth homelessness, including support services and young people themselves.
This report identifies the key policy challenges, and puts forward recommendations for government, and regional and national stakeholders.

Minivans make sense. They did back in 1984 when Chrysler built the first one, and they still do today.
The trouble is, a lot of 30-year-olds gravitate to SUVs instead of minivans when vans would do a better job of carrying around their budding families. Maybe that's because they grew up being chauffeured around in them, or maybe it's because they think of minivans as old folks vehicles, like station wagons were to us when we were kids.
Suffice it to say, minivans today are better than ever. Instead of driving like wobbly boxes, they are buttoned down, solid and as nicely equipped as any family sedan. Many, like the Windstar driven here, even come with a built-in video player and a flip-down screen that will keep kids occupied when mom and dad insist on taking the kind of driving vacations lavished upon them by their parents.
For 2001, Ford has updated the Windstar with a chrome grille and 16-inch wheels, and the 200-horsepower, 3.8-liter V-6 engine is now standard on all models. Ford says the Windstar is classified as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV). Another key piece of standard equipment is the Personal Safety System that uses sensors to determine the severity of a crash, the position of the front seat and whether seat belts are in use. Two-stage front airbags then deploy according to crash severity and whether the passenger seat is occupied. Retractors tighten the seat belts to help control an occupantÕs forward motion. A low-tire-pressure warning system also alerts the driver if a tire needs air.
In recent crash tests by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, the Windstar received a five-star rating for front and rear passengers in a side impact. In 1999, it received five stars for frontal impacts. Results for 2001 are not yet available, but there is no reason to think they would be any lower.
Later in the year, Ford's AdvanceTrac vehicle stability system will be available. AdvanceTrac uses the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems to help counteract skidding in emergency evasive maneuvers. Our test vehicle was also equipped with the power-operated adjustable pedals so short drivers donÕt have to sit dangerously close to the steering wheel.
The 200-horsepower engine that is now standard has been tweaked to reduce noise and vibration, but it still sounds a tad coarse when accelerating away from a stop. Power and performance are on par with the other minivans.
Inside, the SELÕs leather upholstery and wood trim contributed to its upscale feel. The instrument panel, much the same as before, is easy to read and use thanks to simplified gauges and controls. The requisite dual sliding doors are power operated, which is extremely handy if you need to open the doors with things in your hands.
The Windstar's third seat has to be removed for maximum cargo space, which is not as handy as one that folds into the floor.
A reverse sensing system consists of four sensors in the bac k bumper that detect obstacles within 6 feet. As you back up, warning beeps grow closer together until there is a steady tone when the vehicle is within 10 inches of the object. Since rear visibility can be challenging, this system makes backing up and parking much less nerve-wracking.
The optional video system has a color monitor that folds down from the ceiling for easy viewing by back-seat passengers. The VCR is handily mounted in the center console between the front seats. Rear-seat passengers can control the system from the back of the console, which has audio/visual inputs, volume control, media selection, seek function and headphone jacks. Dual headphones are included so front-seat passengers can listen to the stereo while the kids in the back watch a movie.
Price The base price of our test model, the top-of-the-line SEL, was $30,920. Options included the reverse parking sensors, trailer towing package and AutoVision family entertainment system. The stic r price was $33,615.
Warranty Three years or 36,000 miles.
To get in touch with Tom Strongman, send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
{Point:} The Windstar's excellent safety rating, dual power sliding doors and optional family entertainment center make it attractive to families with small children. Power, adjustable pedals and the soon-to-be-available vehicle stability program make it even safer. The 200-horsepower engine is now standard across in all models.
{Counterpoint:} I prefer a third seat that folds into the floor and the engine is not quite as quiet and smooth as some of its competitors.
Engine: 3.8-liter V-6
Transmission: automatic Front-wheel drive
Wheelbase: 120.7 inches
Curb weight: 3,988 lbs.
Base price: $30,920
As driven: $33,615
Mpg rating: 18 city, 24 hwy.

One of the first decisions in making a PCB is to choose the style and type of components we are going to use. This mostly depends on the electrical requirements of the PCB. However, once we meet the electrical requirements, there are a variety of available footprints and configurations to choose from. The type of components we choose will affect the appearance and size of the finished PCB. In the early days, we dealt with components having long leads by inserting them manually into plated through holes on the PCB. We then soldered the leads to form strong interconnections with the holes. This is what we know as a through hole PCB assembly.
With the passage of time, manufacturers prefer to use a modern assembly method that relies on components whose leads are only attached to the surface of the PCB. This method doesn't require any mating hole. This is what we know as the Surface Mount Technology (SMT). However, it was known as planar mounting in the earlier days.
Today we will look at both of these techniques and we will help you in choosing between them according to your needs.
Through hole PCB
Through hole components are mostly available in two types of packages which can be axial or radial. Axial through hole components have electronic leads along their axis of symmetry. A basic resistor is a classic example of a through-hole component as you can notice that the electrical leads are present along its cylindrical axis of symmetry. Other examples are inductors, capacitors, and diodes.
On the other hand, radial components have electrical leads which are projected from the same surface of the component. These are often preferred as it allows us to mount them on a board in a way which takes up a smaller space.
Manufacturers discovered through-hole components when they were looking to improve efficiency and they weren't concerned with the aesthetics. It was a tradeoff between mechanical stability and signal integrity. Manufacturers were not focusing on the required space of the components. Therefore, they didn't concern themselves with signal integrity problems. However, as demand for PCBs increased, manufacturers had to rethink their approach. Now power consumption, board space requirement, and signal integrity became a concern. Manufacturers now want to use components that come in smaller packages and provide the same functionality. This is where we look towards surface-mount components.
Pros and Cons of Through hole PCB
- Through-hole technology is very reliable as there is a stronger connection between the PCB and the components. This is why most of the manufactures still use through-hole technology. We especially rely on this technology in those applications where the PCB goes through fast acceleration and suffers from increased stress.
- It is very easier to replace through-hole components. That is why it is easier to perform tests by using through-hole technology. This is the primary reason for using through-hole for prototyping.
- These components need a lot of space to place them on a PCB as compared to the surface-mounted components.
- We have to manually perform most of the through-hole operations.
Surface Mount PCB
Surface-mounted components dominate the modern PCB design. These components don't rely on electrical leads. We can solder these components directly on the PCB surface during the assembly process. Surface-mounted components are mostly used where we have limited space and we are concerned with the component size. The major benefit of surface mounted components is that we can use them at high frequencies and speeds without facing any signal integrity problems.
Pros and cons of Surface Mount PCB
- Surface-mounted components are much smaller in comparison to the through-hole components. This allows us to increase the overall density of the finished electronic product.
- We can place surface mounted components on both sides of the PCB.
- We can reduce the production time by using a Pick and Place machine for automating the process.
- These components are not suitable for applications involving high power consumption.
- We cannot use surface-mounted components for testing or prototyping of circuits.
Surface Mount vs. Through-hole Technology Costs
Surface-mounted components are usually much smaller than the through-hole components. However, this doesn't imply that surface mounted components will always cost less. The surface-mounted component may have a similar price of their through-hole counterparts. However, we need to consider the costs per component after automating the assembly process. This way, we can clearly see that surface mount is a more economical process.
We need to drill holes for placing the through-hole components. This leads to incurring of tooling costs. On the other hand, surface mounted components don't need drilling. This leads to a further reduction of the overall expenses.
Overall Comparison between Surface Mount PCB and Through-Hole PCB
With this detailed comparison, we can safely conclude that surface mounted assembly is more cost-effective and efficient than the through-hole assembly. Most of the advanced electronic products involve surface mount technology. However, when we require special electrical, thermal, and mechanical applications then through-hole technology is still a viable option.
It is a fact that technology and science are making continuous progress. And it is also a fact that new products will replace old products. But it doesn't imply that it is necessary to eliminate conventional technology. For instance, multi-layered PCBs are more efficient than single-layered PCBs. However, they are also more advanced and complex. Can we use them in the control dials of an aircraft? Yes. Should we use them in a simple toy car or a clock? Definitely No. Merits of some conventional things can still make them play a vital role in the future to come.

SMCS have made the news!
During a speech to Parliament, Mr Rob Butler MP spoke about our school when discussing the new British Sign Language Law
Aylesbury MP backs new British Sign Language lawIn a speech to Parliament on Friday 18th March, Rob Butler MP name-checked Stoke Mandeville Combined School, which has special facilities for hearing impaired pupils.
On a visit to the school Mr Butler was impressed with the way deaf students were integrated into the school community.
Mr Butler added: "It is incredibly moving to see how those children play a full part in the life of the school.
"And more importantly, that all the children who are not hearing-impaired recognise this is just a normal part of life: a different way to communicate, with different people, with different needs, but who are ultimately all exactly the same as they are."

After a winless streak that extended to five matches, Rajasthan Royals were back in their comfort zone against Delhi Daredevils, on Sunday at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. They put up a fantastic batting show to win by 14-runs and remain in the top two in the points table. The target for them against Sunrisers Hyderabad will be to keep the momentum going, which they have regained after some struggle. Sunrisers Hyderabad's campaign has been up and down this season, and they have slid to number 7 in the points table following the loss to Kolkata Knight Riders.
Match: Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 41st T20 at Mumbai
Time: Match begin at 4 PM IST | 10:30 GMT
Toss: Rajasthan Royals, who chose to bowl first
Rajasthan's win against Delhi was build on the back of a superlative batting performance from Ajinkya Rahane. The batsman from Mumbai has been rock solid for Rajasthan at the top of the order, and a majority of the team's victories this season have been built on the back of a wonderful batting display by Rahane. At Brabourne, he found excellent support from Karun Nair, as the duo flayed Delhi's bowling. Nair is definitely another talent who must be watched closely. With Shane Watson and Sanju Samson in form, Rajasthan look formidable. The likes of Steven Smith and Deepak Hooda have also come good occasionally.
The bowling of Rajasthan is a slight cause of concern. In spite of having 190 to defend, the bowlers allowed Delhi to come rather close. Tim Southee hasn't been very effective, and went wicketless against Delhi. Dhawal Kulkarni, Rajat Bhatia and Stuart Binny also conceded a lot of runs. It was thanks to the Aussie duo of Watson and James Faulkner that Rajasthan managed to keep Delhi in check. Rajasthan will need to exhibit improvements in their bowling.
For Sunrisers, the story has been rather predictable. If David Warner fires then win, if he doesn't they lose. This all to familiar tale repeated itself against Kolkata as well at Monday at Eden Gardens, as Sunrisers were downed by 35 runs. This predictability is the main reason why Warner's men are languishing at the bottom end of the table. Their batting is a huge weak link, with Shikhar Dhawan failing to deliver as well on days when Warner goes early. Moises Henriques played a good knock against Kolkata, but Naman Ojha, Eoin Morgan and Hanuma Vihari continue to disappoint.
Sunriser's bowling is in decent shape, but their key bowlers disappointed in the last match. Dale Steyn, who has been in and out of the side, since the franchise has had to pick between him and Trent Boult, was dealt with rather easily while Bhuvneshwar Kumar also conceded plenty of runs though he was among the wickets. Sunrisers though should be pleased with the efforts of their spinners in the match, Bipul Sharma and Karn Sharma, both of whom kept things tight, and were among the wickets as well. But, with their batting in poor shape, Sunrisers will continue to need more out of their bowlers.

Uptrend prevails. The pair continues to grow.Estimated pivot point is at the level of 1.0554.Our opinion: Buy the pair above the level of 1.0554 with the target of 1.0770.Alternative scenario: Breakdown of the level of 1.0554 will enable the pair to continue decline to the levels of 1.05 – 1.04.Analysis: It is assumed that on the daily timeframe the fifth wave of a diagonal in wave (c) of the higher level is being formed. Locally it is possible that this is only the first wave of a zigzag a of 5 of (c). If this assumption is correct, the pair will continue to grow to the level of 1.0770 and after that the pair may experience correction b of 5.

Casualwear boosts weak John Lewis figures, firm opens in Dubai
Once again it was fashion that carried John Lewis through the latest week with the seven days to April 1 seeing overall sales down 6% to £78.33 million. Not that the company seems too worried as it said the later timing of this year's Easter is still distorting sales patterns.
The company launches its big Easter marketing campaign this week so the figures it releases on April 11 should contain some better news.
But for now, fashion was the big story, rising 3% as its denim lifestyle launch And/Or, and warmer weather in the UK both drove womenswear sales up 5.3%. Casualwear saw the biggest lift in the fashion category, presumably also aided by the that headline-grabbing denim launch.
The company did not mention beauty, which has been a strong growth category in recent months and it is unclear whether we have to assume that it had a weaker seven days after earlier performing strongly due to Mother's Day.
So what of the store's other key categories? Home was down 3.7%, influenced by the fall of Easter. However, home accessories and gifts were up 12.4%. This was driven by sales of outdoor living products, which saw growth of 52% as customers began to prep their gardens for the summer months.
Electrical and home tech sales were down 15.6% however, suffering from tough comparisons after the store ran strong promotional activity in the same week last year. But mobile phones and photography equipment enjoyed a strong week, with sales up 7.6%. Apple products in particular performed well, on the back of the launch of the new iPad and the red iPhone.
Elsewhere, last week saw John lewis opening its largest international shop-in-shop to date in Dubai. The 15,000 sq ft space is located inside the refurbished Robinsons department store in the Al Futtaim Dubai Festival City Mall.

Wang, J. X., Furukawa, H. (January 2019) Dissecting diverse functions of NMDA receptors by structural biology. Curr Opin Struct Biol, 54. pp. 34-42. ISSN 0959-440x
N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels, which are critically involved in brain development, learning and memory, cognition, as well as a number of neurological diseases and disorders. Structural biology of NMDARs has been challenging due to technical difficulties associated with assembling a number of different membrane protein subunits. Here, we review historical X-ray crystallographic studies on isolated extracellular domains, which are still the most effective mean to delineate compound binding modes, as well as the most recent studies using electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM). A number of NMDAR structures accumulated over the past 15 years provide insights into the hetero-tetrameric assembly pattern, pharmacological specificities elicited by subtypes and alternative splicing, and potential patterns of conformational dynamics; however, many more important unanswered questions remain.

Gas-turbine technologies for transport and energy industries
The unified prospective gas generator (the core) of the product 77 designed by the NPO Saturn Rybinsk-based research and development bureau 1 allows to build a new family of aviation and industrial engines fully consistent with the fifth-generation engine requirements
Site news
April, 29th 2013, Rybinsk. – The new innovative development of NPO Saturn – the E70/8RD – an industrial dual-fuel GTE designed for marine application was presented at the end of April in Rybinsk during the MC UEC's scientific-technical board session focused on reliability, state of service and prospects of utilizing gas-turbine engines in the power range of 2.5 - 10 MW.
In December 2012 when the E70/8RD engine had successfully completed its ATP's and acquired the "О1" letter which according to the international standard signifies the completion of the prototype stage and transition to the serial production stage. The E70/8RD gas-turbine engine was designed based on the 70FRU GTE and is the evolution of the GTE family derived from the unified core (the product 77) designed by the NPO Saturn Rybinsk-based R&D bureau 1. The efficiency of the E70/8RD engine using gas fuel exceeds 34% while specific fuel consumption is less than 0.155 kg/hp.h. The main feature of the NPO Saturn-designed E70/8RD engine is a dual-fuel combustion chamber which can automatically switch from gas to diesel fuel and vice versa. The control system comprising the electronic control unit, liquid fuel system accessories train and gas fuel system accessories train was designed and built by Star OJSC.
At the moment NPO Saturn is working on the development of a boat gas-turbine engine having the power of 8 MW (SGTG-8) derived from the E70/8RD engine; the acceptance tests of the new boat engine are slated for November 2013. The potential fields of application for the SGTG-8 – power plants for boats and coastal infrastructure.
According to Yuri Shmotin, NPO Saturn head of design, "industrial engines developed off the product 77 core have some bright prospects and demonstrate performance equal or surpassing that of the best foreign analogs. The product 77 core designed by the Rybinsk-based R&D bureau back in the last decade of ХХ century is still very promising regarding the performance of its main components. For instance, high-pressure compressor of the product 77 had the efficiency over 85% with the engine pressure ratio exceeding 12. In the 2000's NPO Saturn carried out a number of works aimed at creating a unified prospective core based on the product 77 core for a new family of aviation and industrial engines. The following operating parameters have been demonstrated: compressor pressure ratio over 18; combustion chamber emission performance improved by 30%; declared life was demonstrated through a series of tests. We are confident that the NPO Saturn unified gas generator meets well the fifth-generation engine requirements even today."
Research and Production Association Saturn JSC is an engine-building company specialized in design, manufacture and after sales support of gas-turbine engines for military and civil aviation, the Navy boats and power-generation and gas-pumping installations. NPO Saturn JSC is a part of the United Engine Corporation Managing Company JSC.

What is the CFPB?
"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a U.S. regulatory agency created to oversee financial products and services offered to consumers." The CFPB serves to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices, providing the information, steps, and tools needed to make an informed financial decision and taking necessary action on those companies that break the law.
Origins of the CFPB
Following the financial crisis of 2008, the United States Government took action in response to the recession to prevent a similar catastrophe from occurring in the future. In turn, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was created in 2010 by the Obama Administration. The Dodd-Frank Act established new government agencies tasked to oversee the various components and aspects of the new act and the financial system in its entirety. Sectors of the financial system, including banks, mortgage lenders, and credit rating agencies, were targeted because it was believed that these organizations were the underlying cause of the 2008 financial crisis.
Within the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) was established. The CFPB enables consumers to understand the terms of a financial agreement before approving readily and governs other consumer lending tactics such as credit and debit cards, all while addressing consumer complaints. Under the CFPB falls Federal Regulations, including those directly shaping the fraud and dispute management process, specifically Reg E and Reg Z. The CFPB ultimately supports consumers through providing one single point of accountability for enforcing federal consumer financial laws. Since the establishment of the CFPB in 2010, the Bureau has been under three different Presidential Administrations, Obama, Trump, and Biden. Each administration has had its own goals and influences on the Bureau.

Leicester City got their Europa League campaign off to a flying start with a comfortable 3-0 win over Zorya Luhansk, with goals from the attacking trio of James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheancho.
The Nigerian got the nod up front, with Vardy out and Slimani not available in this competition. Christian Fuchs also came into the side at LB, while Ayoze Perez dropped out to make room for a midfield trio of Tielemans, Praet and Maddison.
After a bright first few minutes, things started to look a little worrying for the Foxes. The visitors pushed on with a few chances of their own, while every good move of ours seemed to fizzle out at the feet of Iheanacho.
Things improved drastically after the first quarter, as Rodgers seemed to uncover the secret to playing without Vardy. Rather than trying to play Iheancho in behind, they started looking to get the ball into his feet, while Barnes, Praet and others made the runs in behind him.
Leicester went ahead after 29 minutes and, like everything else positive today, it started at the feet of Harvey Barnes. His stinging shot came back off the post and, after a brief scramble including Iheanacho, Maddison was able to turn it home.
From there on, Barnes consistently terrorised the Ukranian defence. It seemed like they had no answer for him and, with a few slightly better passes, he could have had several chances.
On the stroke of half time, he finally got his opportunity, as Iheancho's delicate flick picked out a storming run through the middle. He stayed as calm as you could hope, with a delicate dink over the goalkeeper.
In the second half, the formation was noticeably different to the start of the game. Barnes was playing up front along with Iheanacho, with Maddison centrally in behind.
It certainly produced some nice football, although the Foxes needed a defensive blunder for the 3rd goal. The defence put the ball on a platter for Iheanacho, and he was happy to accept it and slot the ball home.
From there, Leicester just had to see the game out, and did so very comfortably. The CB pairing of Evans and Fofana looked particularly assured, for just their second game.
The young Frenchman looked particularly impressive yet again. While his defending was sound, he really stood out to me int he opposition box. He looks like just the towering set piece target we've been short of.
