Retrofitting a 1960s Split-Level, Cold-Climate Home
National programs such as Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® and numerous other utility air sealing programs have brought awareness to homeowners of the benefits of energy efficiency retrofits. Yet, these programs tend to focus on the low-hanging fruit: air-sealing the thermal envelope and ductwork where accessible, switch to efficient lighting, and low-flow fixtures. At the other end of the spectrum, deep-energy retrofit programs are also being encouraged by various utilities across the country. While deep energy retrofits typically seek 50% energy savings, they are often quite costly and most applicable to gut-rehab projects. A significant potential for lowering energy usage in existing homes lies between the low hanging fruit and deep energy retrofit approaches - retrofits that save approximately 30% in energy over the existing conditions. A key is to be non-intrusive with the efficiency measures so the retrofit projects can be accomplished in occupied homes. This cold climate retrofit project involved the design and optimization of a home in Connecticut that sought to improve energy savings by at least 30% (excluding solar PV) over the existing home's performance. This report documents the successful implementation of a cost-effective solution package that achieved performance greater than 30% over the pre-retrofit -more »

THE agony is over for South Shields.
The inevitable could not be delayed any longer and the expected defeat at the hands of new champions Stockton confirmed their relegation to the First Division.
Without a win all season, the club's 15th loss in 21 games saw the axe fall on Shields on Teesside as their rivals were celebrating winning the Dukes ECB NEPL Premier Division title for the first time in front of their own supporters, and there was sympathy for their demise from fans of a team which had not always enjoyed the best of times themselves in recent years.
Shields lost by 43 runs, with the other candidates for the drop, Gateshead Fell, unable to play due to a waterlogged ground at Chester-le-Street's Ropery Lane.
Stockton, who chose to bat first, notched up 203 runs in 47.5 overs despite being without their two county stars, Keaton Jennings and the injured Jamie Harrison.
Another Durham man, all-rounder Josh Bousfield, stepped up to take top rating with a 69-ball half-century, even though Gordon Muchall took five wickets relatively cheaply.
The Ward brothers, Jimmy and Kevin, made 26 and 25 respectively after the hosts lost their first four wickets for just 51, and their 50 partnership was followed by one of 62 between Bousfield and Tom Coulthard, who made 32.
Muchall took his five wickets at a cost of just 43 runs in 10.5 overs, and then hit a half-century in Shields' reply of 160.
He fell leg before, eighth out, to the bowling of Jimmy Ward, who took star billing with seven wickets for 27 in 20 overs. Mark Appleton (25) shared a stand of 61 with Muchall, who finished on 52.
Friday's heavy rain knocked out two of the six matches, with Sunderland's visit to Blaydon falling victim along with Chester-le-Street.
But the other three games went ahead with Newcastle defeating Durham Academy at Jesmond, Hetton Lyons beaten at Tynemouth and South North enjoying a winning draw at Benwell Hill.
The Academy decided to bat first after a slightly delayed start due to a wet pitch and their 195-8 looked good enough for a win before Michael Richardson hit a superb 70 from 66 balls, with 14 boundaries.
Alex Nicholson, with an unbeaten half-century, and Jacques Du Toit (34) enjoyed the challenge of knocking off the runs in 45 overs – and succeeded with four to spare. Nicholson shared a partnership of 110 with Richardson.
The Academy batsmen all contributed runs, although 36 from opener Jack Clark was the highest individually.
Seven others got good starts, but Richardson, normally a talented wicketkeeper, turned over his bowling arm to good effect to finish with five for 70 from 15 overs. Newcastle won by seven wickets.
Hetton Lyons' batting collapsed against Tynemouth's Ruhan Pretorius (5-27) and they were bowled out for 112 chasing 168 to win.
Sean Tindale (3-26) and Jonny Malkin (3-41) did well enough for the Lyons, who won the toss and decided to bowl first. But in reply no-one scored more than Ryan Pringle (24) and Gary Scott (20).
Benwell Hill had to fight hard to prevent being beaten by South North who made 170-5 in a reduced overs match, with 63 from John Graham and 57 from Adam Heather. The Hill replied with 105-8 but South North's points haul from the game ensured they will finish as runners-up.

Director: Aleksev Uchital

Director: Sanjeev Gupta

Bulfinch's Mythology The Age of Fable
Page: 51"Iphis was a young man of humble parentage, who saw and loved Anaxarete, a noble lady of the ancient family of Teucer. He struggled long with his passion, but when he found he could not subdue it, he came a suppliant to her mansion. First he told his passion to her nurse, and begged her as she loved her foster- child to favor his suit. And then he tried to win her domestics to his side. Sometimes he committed his vows to written tablets, and often hung at her door garlands which he had moistened with his tears. He stretched himself on her threshold, and uttered his complaints to the cruel bolts and bars. She was deafer than the surges which rise in the November gale; harder than steel from the German forges, or a rock that still clings to its native cliff. She mocked and laughed at him, adding cruel words to her ungentle treatment, and gave not the slightest gleam of hope.
"Iphis could not any longer endure the torments of hopeless love, and standing before her doors, he spake these last words: 'Anaxarete, you have conquered, and shall no longer have to bear my importunities. Enjoy your triumph! Sing songs of joy, and bind your forehead with laurel, you have conquered! I die; stony heart, rejoice! This at least I can do to gratify you, and force you to praise me; and thus shall I prove that the love of you left me but with life. Nor will I leave it to rumor to tell you of my death. I will come myself, and you shall see me die, and feast your eyes on the spectacle. Yet, Oh, ye gods, who look down on mortal woes, observe my fate! I ask but this! Let me be remembered in coming ages, and add those years to my name which you have reft from my life.' Thus he said, and, turning his pale face and weeping eyes towards her mansion, he fastened a rope to the gate-post, on which he had hung garlands, and putting his head into the noose, he murmured, 'This garland at least will please you, cruel girl!' And falling, hung suspended with his neck broken. As he fell he struck against the gate, and the sound was as the sound of a groan. The servants opened the door and found him dead, and with exclamations of pity raised him and carried him home to his mother, for his father was not living. She received the dead body of her son, and folded the cold form to her bosom; while she poured forth the sad words which bereaved mothers utter. The mournful funeral passed through the town, and the pale corpse was borne on a bier to the place of the funeral pile. By chance the home of Anaxarete was on the street where the procession passed, and the lamentations of the mourners met the ears of her whom the avenging deity had already marked for punishment.

Recent enhancements: April 23
We've been working hard to make Wave the best tool possible for small business owners just like you. That's why we're so excited to unveil a new feature that will make Wave even easier for you to use!
If you've ever accidentally uploaded the same bank statement twice, or uploaded a bank statement after connecting your bank account, you've probably experienced duplicate transactions.
While it's possible to try to manually delete each duplication, that goes against what Wave was created for. We aim to make your life easier: no manual entry, no wasted time, and no confusion! That's why we're so excited about our newest feature: De-duplication.
Not only is it fun to say, but it's really simple to use! If Wave identifies duplicate transactions, we'll flag these for you right in your Imported Transactions page. From there, you can simply mark whether the transaction is in fact a duplicate and should be removed, or if you made two identical transactions that should be recorded twice (like in the case of a twice daily coffee trip).
We've made it simple, but we don't want to leave you hanging with any questions! So, if you need more information on how to manage duplicate transactions on your Imported Transactions page, we've already got you covered! And of course, if you have any other questions, our Customer Support Heroes are always happy to help.


text: So far my little luggage collection consist of the Pegase 50, Keepall 50 and the Deauville. I want a larger suitcase and I am thinking about the soft ones, the hardside luggage pieces are way too heavy I imagine.. So I am thinking about the Sirius 55 or 70 (maybe the 55 will be too small and I allready have the pegase 50). But I know there are others, satellite and alize pieces. For those of you who have seen, opened, have any other luggage pieces than the trolleys, what do you recommend? TIA!

- Description
- Staffelberg is a hill in Bavaria, Germany. It is part of the Franconian Switzerland and one of the most important landmarks in Franconia. First settlements date from the neolithic Stone Age. Romans, Celts and Franconians followed. Nowadays, it is a famous tourists' attraction - not only because of the great view over the Main valley. The Staffelberg is located next to Vierzehnheiligen and the district capitol of Lichtenfels. At the foot of the hill there is the town of Bad Staffelstein. Moreover, the Staffelberg is best suited for hiking, mountain biking or climbing. On the top of the hill there is, additionally, a little church and a restaurant. The entire hill is protected by environmental laws.

Believe Me for what you call impossible to be possible in your life. Faith is My gift to you, the measure that causes you to enlarge the small places in your mind. I delight in seeing you move in belief. Believe and you will see the desires of your heart. Believe and the mountains will fall before you. Your faith is the greatest currency in the earth. (Matthew 21:21-22)
No matter how dismal things look ask the Lord for your measure of faith. Your faith will create a harvest.

About 30% of older adults have established a formal long-term care plan. One part of the planning process is to identify and understand the risks when an elder decides to move. Even vigilant caregivers and family members are unlikely to be aware of the new and emerging hazards Mom and Dad face when beginning the process of moving to a new residence.
Guest article by Chris Seman and Nan Hayes
Avoiding Hazards when Moving
Older adults are increasingly vulnerable to financially motivated, move-related scams. Con artists keep inventing new ways to defraud Mom and Dad as they struggle with volumes of household goods. While caregiving families may help their parents decide where to move, they aren't often aware of the precautions to take when deciding how to move.
Few families properly screen and vet the service providers they allow to sort, sell, organize or pack their possessions. Some adult children are so overwhelmed by the thought of downsizing and decluttering their parents' home they hire just about anyone to help quickly and cheaply carry out the tedious and time-consuming tasks.
Unfortunately, many fail to realize that most downsizing and relocation services are largely unregulated. This includes services like tag sales, estate sales, organizing, junk removal, storage, and even some moving services.
For example, there are an estimated 14,000 estate sale providers in the U.S. according to EstateSales.net. There are also an increasing number of complaints. One popular scheme involves under-valuing items that are then sold to known parties, who resell them at a much higher price and split the proceeds. Another scheme involves outright theft of items in the home.
Minnesota enacted legislation in 2015 to protect consumers after an estate sale company tried to clear out the home of a deceased parent. Estate sale providers must now carry a $20,000 bond.
Consumer Safeguards
Legislation won't guarantee that your family won't be harmed. The competitive marketplace and online reviews will help consumers make informed choices based on quality of service, training, and pricing. Additionally, senior service professionals and referrals from friends will help families find qualified, reliable, and trusted providers.
One such provider offering a network of professional estate sale, online auction, and move management services with fully-insured and industry-certified offices is Caring Transitions®. Each local operator has earned the Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist (CRTS) designation – the most rigorous industry credential awarded in the fields of senior relocation and move management. All employees are background screened, trained, bonded, and insured.
"Legitimate" companies will welcome consumers' questions and take time to provide answers.
Ask these questions of estate sale providers.
Q. What is your commission structure and what does it cover?
Most estate sale companies base their fees on a percent of the sale and may also charge a reserve or admin fee. Percentages in the U.S. range from 35 to 60 percent, depending on services provided and estimated value of the sale. A lower percentage does NOT necessarily mean more profit. A skilled professional with a developed a list of qualified buyers may make more money for you, even while charging a higher percentage.
Consider the following services needed to hold an estate sale: price, research, organize, categorize and stage inventory; place signs, promote, advertise, set up and staff the sale; provide tables and display fixtures, secure permits, arrange for security, send invitations to known buyers, provide oversight and traffic control, manage transactions and provide a final accounting.
Q. Have you and your staff been trained and certified? What is your field of expertise?
While the estate sale industry is unregulated and can be a haven for scam artists and unethical companies, it is important to understand how a provider is qualified to serve you. Unfortunately, many companies do not have regular qualified staff, and hire contract workers or friends to help with a sale.
Q. Do you have a legal contract and do you carry insurance?
You should not engage an estate sales representative without a contract and should receive a copy of the signed contract. Any qualified organization should be prepared to protect your possessions, as well as their own business and employees, through insurance.

@CTUCyberGroup Lesson: Work Like a Team
What a day in the CyberGroup PRO LIVE TRADING ROOM. I know sometimes it might sound like a broken record, but when you have a great group of traders who day after day continue to work together it makes it hard to not consistently succeed. Today's morning started off with a bang a few minutes before the market even opened with $ISR. Most of us made a day's pay real early with some others stocks such as $NQ $PEIX $FXEN and $YOD
Today we aren't going to go over a lesson like usual, it's just going to be short and sweet. A huge #shoutout to one of my Cyber Traders, Joyce. While I was teaching my class in the afternoon, Joyce was able to spot $AVNR. I'm not going to go into it being haulted, or the news that came out to make this stock pop, but when you look at the chart it's pretty easy to see it did. Working like a team is so vitally important to not only our own success, but as well our fellow traders. Joyce was able to find $AVNR right as it started to pop, call it out and in turn make herself and most of the other traders a great profit. Without Joyce's call out some of the traders might not have made their day's pay. Ask anyone in the chat room if their success on a certain trade was because of someone else simply typing a ticker symbol. The answer will be unanimous across the board. Great work Joyce for once again showing us why it's so important to work like a team.

This isn't your fault, or the boyfriend's. Your sister is a selfish little bitch. She could have asked him if she was so impatient. By the way, if she really did want to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him, then why couldn't she wait a while longer? Obviously she didn't love him that much if she can just toss him aside like that over something stupid. He's better off without her.
genius_man16 | 0
What a selfish bitch. I mean really. You dump a guy just because he won't propose to you? What the fuck? Hey you stupid twat, maybe YOU could propose to HIM instead!! OMG what a concept.
fmlfmlfml15 | 0
geniusman calm the fuck down. the OP's sister dumped the boyfriend, because she thought she wasn't ready for a commitment. Now 4 years into a relationship isn't that bad, but maybe she just really wanted to get married. Now the boyfriend should have seized that opportunity to propose, unless the OPs sister dumped him online or through text or on the phone or something. Or why didn't the OP just tell her that he was going to propose? Either way the OP's life isn't fucked. It wasn't even about her except for the fact that she helped.
Veni_13 | 0
Hm. She wasn't ready for commitment, yet "she really wanted to get married"? Genius man is right, if she wanted to get married so bad, she could have either proposed herself (why the hell not?) or had a talk with her bf (of 4 years!) about it. Wow. What a ridiculous reason to break off a 4-year relationship.

2 months??? he had 4 years!
Icyghost17 | 10
I agree, four years is a bit long. I think a year and a half to two and a half is appropriate. Three is pushing it. Four is ridiculous, and probably means he doesn't see you that way. UNLESS you are too young to be married, I say her sister made a good call.
DrunkenValor | 0
And here's a more elaborate proposal. You beat the shit out of her, really lay into her and then say "Now, would you like to do this with me on a semi regular basis?" And while riding back on the ambulance produce the ring from the paramedics pocket. How sweet.
plexico | 3
I'll give you that your technique is more creative than mine. Mine has two things going for it: 1) It works in reality -- for me, it is one-for-one. 2) It has a less awkward "out" if the answer is "no." For me, I'd just get up, keep my ring and leave. You'd probably end up in jail with a ring. You might end up with a boyfriend or six.

I like what you did with the jail and ring pun.

text: Orpheus is an exciting new six-piece Latin / Brazilian jazz project brought together by a mutual love of Brazilian music and led by Swedish singer Annika Skoogh. The group's sound is a potent mix of uplifting sambas, stunning bossas and 60's soul jazz. Annika adds another dimension to their performances by singing the majority of the songs in their native written language of Portuguese. Her sextet of very accomplished musicians are; Steve Dow (guitar), Gary Evans (drums), Jade Gall (flute), Martin Jenkins (organ) and Colin Seddon (percussion). The band members are artists in their own right and are involved in various projects both locally and nationally. The musicianship is clear to see when these players come together and they produce an enthralling and captivating sound.

Moreover, many moderate separatist leaders had been asserting that a dialogue and the announcement of some confidence-building measures by New Delhi before the announcement of the polls would make it easier for them to enter the electoral fray without losing credibility. While the Kashmir committee, headed by the former Union law minister, Mr Ram Jethmalani, seems to have made some progress in its dialogue with the separatists, there has been no assurance of their participation in the polls. There may still be time for the Indian government, together with the Election Commission, to take steps to ensure that the elections are inclusive and credible. New Delhi could do well to release many of the separatist leaders who are in jails in India. The Centre could consider setting up a group of eminent Indians to monitor the elections in addition to the officially mandated observers. Finally, the Centre could try persuading the National Conference government, headed by Mr Farooq Abdullah, to step down before the polls in the national interest.
Mr Bhattacharjee�s vision of free primary education for all poor children in the state will also have to elaborate itself, at a practicable level, in order to accommodate the implications of the report. The guarantee of free school-meals sounds more simple than what its implementation would actually mean in terms of administrative skills. The education minister will have to ensure the setting up and maintenance of a proper state-wide machinery for this to work, particularly in the rural areas. The fact of social inequality based on class and caste is another important finding of the report. The state will have to work out a disciplinary system which could identify and penalize such offences. The government must prove that its response to Mr Sen�s report is considerably more than cringing under a stern taskmaster�s eye.
The latest data given by the UNDP should lead to introspection among policymakers as to how we can raise our rank in the global community. It is no use quarrelling with the basis of comparison. The UNDP is acknowledged to be one of the fairest institutions of the global system, especially in its compilation of the HDI.
Attention has also to be drawn to another compilation produced by the HDR, that is, the human poverty index. The UNDP�s calculation of HPI is based on a summary index of the following indicators � the probability of a citizen�s survival up to the age of 40, the adult literacy rate, the percentage of population not having access to improved water sources, the percentage of underweight children under age 5 and the ratio of population below the income poverty line. The poorer we are, the lower in rank in terms of HPI. India ranks 55, while China has a rank of 24 and Pakistan a rank of 68.
The HDR 2002 by its own admission has concentrated mainly on issues of the politics of development compared to the economic aspects. In its view, politics is as important to successful development as economics. The message of the HDR is that sustained reduction of poverty needs political evolution to conditions in which poor people have access to political power through successful democratic institutions.
The UN HDR 2002 has, in effect, become a treatise on the importance of ensuring effective democracy and the development of adequate institutions of governance. Contrary to some of the perceptions of Western economists and social scientists about the superiority of autocracy, the latest HDR emphasizes the fact that the democratic form of government and human development are fully consistent with each other. The democratic transition has been shown to be an essential avenue in terms of better governance and the faster achievement of human development.
In this connection, the HDR cites a number of scholarly studies to show that the correlation between autocracy and faster development is weak. The HDR 2002 asserts the contrarian view and cites studies to affirm its conclusion that democratization creates better enabling conditions for economic and therefore human development.
Obviously, democracy should not be confined to merely the frequency of elections. It also needs the establishment of adequate institutions of surveillance, such as the judiciary, to ensure civil and political rights. Only with a proper framework for enforcement of human rights can democracy be said to be complete. Equally important is a place for a free and active media, which the UN HDR ranks high among the necessary conditions for proper human development.
The UN HDR 2002 draws support for this from the observations of Nobel laureate Amartya Sen that post-independence India has avoided massive deaths arising from drought and famine mainly because of a free and active press in contrast with the millions who died in China as a result of famine. Chinese authorities were not able to realize the magnitude of the disaster because of the suppression of the media.
Peace is an important pre-requirement for economics and human development. In this connection, HDR 2002 rightly emphasizes an important statistic, which is often ignored, that is the wide prevalence of conflicts between � and inside � countries in the world in recent times. The UN HDR notes that in the Nineties conflicts between countries killed about 220,000 people, while civil conflicts accounted for nearly 3.6 million deaths. Prevalence of such disturbing conditions does affect the potential for human development. Civil peace is a precious resource, the need for which is often ignored by purists concerned only with economic development. But, economic development is infeasible when peace is fragile. The first victim of civil strife is development in all its dimensions. This is a simple but important fact, which we in India tend to ignore.
In this context, the HDR lays stress on the importance of maintaining appropriate power equations between security forces and the state. Threat from dominance by security forces is one of the dangers that a disturbed civil order brings. Such disturbances bring the security forces into the forefront of governance. India has been lucky to have maintained a proper relationship of civil society with the security forces without giving them the upper hand.
In its focus on democracy, the UN HDR turns the spotlight on the need to grow participative democratic processes. Democracy will lose value if it is practised only from above. In this context, the HDR 2002 invites special attention to a recent experiment in Porto Alegre in Brazil in which the local citizens were encouraged to participate in the formulation of civil budgets and their surveillance. An idea worth experimenting with.
The HDR emphasizes the increasing role of non-governmental organizations in the modern world. Non-governmental organizations have become particularly important in evolution and finalization of policies not only by governments but by multilateral organizations of the world. The UN HDR 2002, however, notes that they have a duty to be responsible and to be properly audited. The governance of NGOs is itself a delicate issue and needs to be addressed by persons interested in preserving NGOs as a viable and visible avenue.
In commenting on the pace of global development, the UN HDR 2002 emphasizes the increasing trend towards inequality between nations, partly caused by a faster growth of North America and Europe. The richest 10 per cent of the population of the United States of America has an income equal to that of the poorest 43 per cent of the world. The income of the world�s richest 5 per cent is 114 times that of the poorest 6 per cent. This growing inequality between countries is a serious problem, which has to be rectified. Opening up of international trade and increase of foreign aid are among the recommended solutions.
One of the important suggestions of the UN HDR relates to the improvement of governance of international institutions. Particular importance attaches to its suggestion to set up an economic security council at the UN to look after the economic affairs in the same way as the security council cell handles political issues. Given the fact that the suggestion includes a veto, it is doubtful whether the existing power structure, dominated by the US and Europe, will agree to the creation of another power centre, besides the Brettonwoods twins. But, the fact that the UN is thinking in these terms gives hope that the multilateral financial system may be made more democratic.
The UN HDR is usually looked upon as an indicator of where countries stand in the comity of nations. It is important to recognize that notwithstanding our progress during the last few years, we have still a long way to go. Human development is an important goal of all political parties. It is no use ignoring the UN HDR as a mere compilation of statistics. In fact, it indicates a glaring failure in our progress � especially in the improvement of India�s human condition. The path of wisdom is to learn the appropriate lessons from the UN HDR. The improvement of our human development indicators is a challenge, which political masters and economic policy-makers can ignore only at their peril. Increasing failure in human development will surely be a precursor to a failed society.

After 20 years, the neo-liberal consensus in Latin America is breaking up. It survived the Mexican financial crisis of 1995 and the Brazilian crisis of 1999, but it is not likely to survive the current political and economic upheavals. Mexico, safely ensconced in the North American Free Trade Area, may escape the coming changes, but almost nowhere else will.
The first sign that the �free markets� ship had sprung a leak was the election of former paratroop colonel, Hugo Chavez, as the president of Venezuela in 1998 on a platform that denounced the local business �oligarchy� and the IMF with equal enthusiasm. Chavez narrowly survived a coup in April that was tacitly backed by the United States of America. Elsewhere in the continent events are spinning out of control.
Market devaluedThe ship began to sink when Argentina, long the darling of free-market ideologues, devalued its currency and defaulted on its debt last year. The Argentine peso is down to a quarter of its former value, a large number of people have died in street-riots, the country is running out of respectable politicians willing to accept the presidency, and there is no light visible at the end of the tunnel.
The Argentine financial crisis has dragged in neighbouring countries like Paraguay and Uruguay, both hit by riots and looting, and all of the Andean countries except Chile are being torn by intense confrontations between the haves and have-nots. But Brazil, with almost half the continent�s population, is the place that really counts. The prospect of a left-wing president is panicking foreign investors and threatening to start a far bigger crisis. So where will it all end?
Over the past 20 years, Latin American economic growth has been markedly slower than in the bad old statist days of 1960-1980. The social welfare systems have been trashed and people have grown ever more desperate. They are responding by using the democratic political systems they now possess to demand change.
Reading the signsThe trigger for the current crisis has been not angry locals but foreign investors. They are often berated by analysts for their ignorance: too stupid to tell the difference between Argentina and Brazil, they tend to flee at the first sign of trouble anywhere in the region, taking their money with them. But at the bottom the foreigners are right: the extreme free-market model they thought they were investing in is going belly up.
It doesn�t necessarily mean that these countries are heading back to dictatorship, but it does mean that they will probably bring back some of the protectionist measures that used to cushion local workers and employers from foreign competition. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that: rich countries preach free trade now, but when they were industrializing themselves, they hid behind high tariff walls.
The problem is that Latin America used to combine protectionism with heavy government regulation and state-owned industries. Then for 20 years it combined deregulated internal markets and privatized industries with wide-open financial markets and an American-style assault on all the social security systems that used to protect the poor. And the $ 64 million question now is whether they will have the wit to combine the good bits from both strategies or whether they will simply fall back on the formula that failed them before.
The education sector in Bihar has been in the doldrums for years. The Bihar education project was launched in 1991, under a United Nations Children�s Fund grant, to substantially revive the elementary education system in the state. The project laid emphasis on the education of deprived sections of society, such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and women. The BEP was later merged with the DPEP for the period 1998-2003.
The objective of this third district primary education project was to assist the state in building and strengthening the institutional capacity to ensure that more than 5.5 million school-age children, belonging to socially disadvantaged groups, could complete a five-year primary education cycle of appropriate quality in 17 educationally disadvantaged districts. The project had two other components. One, a focussed teacher training to help build teacher awareness and motivation for alternative classroom practices. And two, to assist in improving the quality and efficiency of instructional materials � textbooks, student workbooks, supplemental readers, teacher guides and other related materials.
Ironically, the appointment of para-teachers runs counter to the DPEP�s longstanding resolve to concentrate on the formal educational system and to improve it with the help of better planning and management. Several DPEP documents have expressed concern over the poor quality of the short-term training provided to para-teachers and also about the quality of their teaching. The very method of their appointment has led to little attention being paid to standard recruitment norms. Despite the phenomenal growth in their number, as seen across several states, classroom activities have been found to be of poorer quality under para-teachers. Low salary and the contractual nature of appointment have been the major source of discontent and lack of motivation among para-teachers.
Perhaps the biggest irony is that the increasing popularity of the para-teacher policy has surfaced at a time when the Union government has commenced devising suitable norms of school-teaching as a profession. The National Council for Teacher Education was specifically set up to debate and decide on appropriate standards of teacher-training, recruitment and supervision. Among the NCTE�s tasks were to check malpractices of private educational entrepreneurs and the poor-quality correspondence programmes for training teachers.
The policy of appointing para-teachers violates the NCTE norms. The procedures used for the localized recruitment of para-teachers and their low salary belie the NCTE�s resolve to raise the status of school teaching by upgrading the various practices associated with it.
The Bihar government has admitted that it does not have the funds to appoint regular teachers in primary schools. In Bihar�s primary and secondary schools there are thousands of vacancies for teachers but the government has been unable to fill the posts, even those under reserved categories. Many schools work with half the required staff. Most schools function with just four teachers where there should be ten.
However, DPEP funds are seen as money that complement state allocations. It remains the state government�s responsibility to fill up existing and new vacancies in state-run schools according to the prevailing norms of recruitment. Several state governments, instead of making full-time appointments as per the norms of permanent service, opt to make contractual appointments at one-fourth or one-fifth the regular salary disbursed from DPEP funds in most cases. In Bihar, para-teachers were hired to fill vacancies in primary schools. Around 31,000 such posts still remain vacant in state-run primary and middle schools in Bihar.
Applicants for teaching vacancies in Bihar need compulsory training and for some time, there have been no trained applicants as all the 11 government teacher-training colleges are shut. Para-teachers fill these vacancies.
Another decision by the state government relaxes the requirement of a compulsory teacher-training degree for applicants in secondary education schools. The task of appointing para-teachers at village schools has been left to the village panchayat samitis.
Starved of funds and adequate manpower, they would now be responsible for the recruitment and appointment of 43,000 para-teachers to meet the shortfall.
As a logical corollary, in the quality and quantity of its schoolteachers, Bihar lags much behind other states. The Bihar primary teachers� association claims that even available teachers absent themselves from teaching because the government puts them on election duty, census duty or other official work. Schools remain closed for months. Crowded classrooms are evidence of the fact that there are about 10 to 25 per cent schools where the pupil-teacher ratio is above 100. Even in districts covered by the DPEP, more than 25 per cent have no blackboards. This collapse of public education hurts the poorest, especially those making up the category of SCs, a group, which has as high an illiteracy rate as 65 per cent. In five districts � Madhepura, Saharsa, Araria, Purnea and Sitamarhi � less than 10 per cent of the SCs are literate.
Thus, despite the recent initiatives taken in primary education across the country, none of the indicators of educational performance has shown any positive change over the years in Bihar. For all the state government�s tall claims of allotting 25 per cent of its budget to education, one-third of the children in the 6-14 years age-group in Bihar can go to schools. As a government report on state-level education reveals, some 5.8 million of the 16.5 million children in Bihar are not enrolled in schools. Of these, 4.2 million are girls and 1.6 million are boys. Only 10.8 million children are registered in schools across the state. They comprise 7.1 million boys and 3.7 million girls, the report says. Bihar�s literacy rate is 47.53 per cent � among the lowest in India. The dropout rate remains alarming. At the primary level, only 58.95 per cent of the students continue till class V; of this, 31.69 per cent drop out before they reach class VIII. This means that only 13 out of every 100 students who enrol in class I make it to class VIII.
Despite such abysmal statistics, Bihar once had the distinction of starting a non-traditional mass education programme of charwaha vidyalaya � almost 150 such schools were set up in Bihar to provide free education to cattle grazers and others on the margins. A decade later, the movement is nowhere visible � a patent symbol of the deterioration in education.
This dismal scenario poses a stark contrast to that in Rajasthan, where literacy rate in 2001 jumped to 61.03 per cent from 38.55 per cent in 1991, though it is yet lower than the all-India average of 65.38 per cent. In 1991, only Bihar had a lower literacy rate than Rajasthan, but in 2001 Rajasthan is ahead of Uttar Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand and Bihar. Among females, it has a literacy rate of 44.34 per cent against the all-India average of 54.16 per cent, yet the state recorded the highest percentage point increase in female literacy. All this has been thanks to non-governmental organizations and civil society interventions, exemplified by programmes such as Janshala, that has recently won worldwide accolades for bringing education within the reach of �out-of-school� young girls. No such luck in Bihar though.
According to the 1991 census, SC and ST population in the state were 160.81 lakh and 38.09 lakh representing 24 per cent and 6 per cent of the total population of the state respectively. The SCP and TSP were the two main development plans, covering family-oriented income generating schemes, community development schemes, various educational schemes and infrastructural development schemes implemented by the backward classes welfare department. For the schemes under different sectors, that is agriculture and allied activities, rural development and employment, irrigation and flood control, energy, transport, industry and so on implemented by other departments, funds were to be quantified for SCP...and TSP...against the state plan budgetary outlay of the respective departments.
Department of BCW... being the nodal department, was to monitor the progress of the schemes taken up by its directorate and other executing agencies, project officer-cum-district welfare officer/backward classes welfare officer of the district, zilla parishad, block development/executive officer of panchayat samiti and participating banks were also responsible for the implementation of various schemes.
Records of the BCW department, its directorate and 5 district, that is Bankura, Bardhaman, Cooch Behar, Medinipur and South 24 Parganas from 1996-97 to 2000-2001 were test-checked between February 2001 and April 2001. These districts had a total SC and ST population of 69.95 lakh (43 per cent) and 14.39 lakh (38 per cent) of the total SC and ST population of the state. Total expenditure on the activities of the department during 1996-97 to 1999-2001 was Rs 791.63 crore against an allotment of Rs 812.90 crore, including Rs 280.72 crore received from the government of India under SCA...
Of Rs 791.63 crore spent during 1996-2001, Rs 510.91 crore of state funds was mainly spent on educational schemes (Rs 245.60 crore), tribal area sub-plan (Rs 64.45 crore), general administration (Rs 67.09 crore) and different infrastructure works under BMS and other schemes (Rs 69.06 crore).
Out of Rs 280.72 crore (Rs 193.50 crore for SCP and Rs 87.22 crore for TSP) being SCA received from the Central government during 1996-2001, Rs 256.16 crore (after deducting administrative expenses of Rs 0.04 crore) were deposited in deposit account of the West Bengal Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Development and Finance Corporation maintained at the pay and accounts officer, Calcutta. The balance of Rs 24.52 crore was drawn by WBSCSTDFC by submitting bills to the pay and accounts officer, Calcutta and kept in the savings bank accounts. Besides, Rs 41.64 crore under different heads received from the BCW department by the corporation was also credited in its deposit account during 1996-2001.
Against Rs 355.01 crore available in the deposit account of WBSCSTDFC during 1996-2001 (including Rs 57.21 crore as opening balance at the start of 1996-97) assistant secretary, department of BCW released Rs 285.75 crore to implementing agencies leaving a balance of Rs 69.26 crore at the end of March 2001, of which Rs 14.45 crore related to the years 1989 to 1995. Further, out of the fund received from the government, WBSCSTDFC parked, without concurrence of the government, Rs 127.65 crore meant for implementing the schemes for the benefit of the weaker sections in short term deposits as of March 31, 2001.
Contrary to the government of India�s directives (October 1998), SCA funds of Rs 130.14 crore received from the GOI were not transferred to the account of WBSCSTDFC promptly by the BCW department. The delay in transfer ranged between 3 to 12 months from the date of their sanctions during 1996-2000. Further, due to late receipt of suitable directives from BCW department, the release of funds (Rs 159.25 crore) to the executing agencies from the deposit account was also delayed by WBSCSTDFC for 3 to 23 months for implementation of the schemes during 1996-2000. The delay on both the counts adversely affected the timely completion of the schemes. Such delays were not monitored by the government and no responsibility was fixed for such inordinate delays.
To obtain funds for SCA grants from the Centre, the state government had to forward utilization certificates to the GOI. Scrutiny revealed that UC for SCA funds amounting to Rs 191.17 crore were forwarded during 1996-2000 to the GOI though funds were either not allotted to the implementing agencies or UCs were awaited from them.
Thus, incorrect utilization certificates, indicating inflated figures of actual expenditure were submitted by the government.
To be concluded
Mission impossibleSir � Why is Pranab Mukherjee so hell-bent on burning his fingers again(�Pranab push for joint stir with Mamata�, Aug 17)? By this time he should have known that no political party in West Bengal can possibly have a �joint� move with Mamata Banerjee. The last time the Congress took such a ridiculous decision was during the 2001 assembly polls in West Bengal, when the haggling over fielding of candidates dashed whatever hopes Mukherjee had held of putting up a united front. That this former finance minister continues to insist on the impossible is probably on the prompting of 10, Janpath, which has much to gain from the Trinamool Congress�s return to its fold. Ironically, Mukherjee, despite continuing to be foisted on a faction-ridden Bengal Congress as its head, is completely out of sync with local politics. Otherwise, he could have seen that the Trinamoolis and the Congresswallahs work at cross-purposes. If he doesn�t understand how, he needs only to ask Somen Mitra.
Pressing issueSir � The arrest of the Tehelka journalist, Aniruddh Bahal, proves once again that freedom of press does not exist in India and that media exposure of corruption in high office has become a futile exercise (�Tehelka tastes Emergency knock�, Aug 8). But must the Emergency be referred to every time a journalist is harassed? One, the Emergency was an aberration and two, Indira Gandhi later apologized for imposing press censorship. The Emergency is long over, but journalists continue to be persecuted. Perhaps this is the result of the lack of unity in the media since a few top editors are loathe to antagonize the government.
Sir � It is shocking to know that despite the presence of the national human rights commission, Kumar Badal was stripped and humiliated in jail (�Tehelka reporter stripped in jail�, Aug 12). But Tehelka has only itself to blame for this turn of events.
In recent years, the media have taken to unorthodox methods to unearth information. Take for example the match-fixing scandal where Manoj Prabhakar was asked to record his conversations with other cricketers and celebrities secretly.
The methods tehelka.com adopted to expose corruption in arms deals cannot be called journalism � it was yellow journalism or simply put, blackmail. The then president of the party that dominates the Central coalition was made to look like a fool.
The defence minister was projected as a person who was either stupid or cunning enough to pretend not to know what was happening in his house. No wonder the suspicion that the real intention of tehelka.com was to destabilize the government and to make money out of its expose has gained ground. Now the tables have been turned � the government is stable now and the news portal is bankrupt.
Sir � By its puerile persecution of tehelka.com and its reporters, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee regime is once again ignoring the message and shooting the messenger. Ironically, an army court martial found the accused officers guilty on the basis of the same tapes that the Bharatiya Janata Party and Samata Party insist were �doctored�.
Sir � If Tarun J. Tejpal loses his court battle, the people of India stand to lose and the politics of corruption stands to gain. As the many scandals, from Bofors to the recent one involving allotment of petrol pumps, show, politicians � no matter which party or ideology they may subscribe to � are united in defending their selfish interests. The people and progress do not figure in their scheme at all. It is time citizens of this country came together to protect themselves from the machinations of politicians. And the first step in this is to express solidarity with Tehelka.
Sir � One had the impression that journalists were a united lot. Which is why it is mystifying to see that they have chosen to either keep mum or underplay the Tehelka episode when they know full well that the news portal is being harassed by law-enforcement agencies who are openly flouting all norms. Yet the media invariably raises a ruckus everytime a reporter is arrested or a camera crew is beaten up.
The Tehelka revelations have exposed a rot that is corroding our political system. But this aspect of the issue seems to have completely eluded the debate which has decided to focus merely on how and why the Tehelka scandal came to be.
Not a fine balanceSir � S. Venkitaramanan advises Indian policymakers to learn from the accounting practices scandal in the United States of America which has jeopardized the interests of small investors (�A faulty model�, Aug 5). But in India, politicians are policymakers. Many of them are dishonest and lack even the most basic knowledge of money matters. Thus, very little can be done in India about doctored balance sheets.
Sir � The report, �Corporate war echo in House�(July 24), says Essar Oil Limited misused the proceeds of a public issue and cheated small investors. But EOL has said that the allegations of the legislators are baseless. The company issued share-cum-debentures of Rs 19,000 in 1994. It promised to pay an interest of 12 per cent per annum on the debenture. But EOL seems no longer interested in the project for which it raised money. Further, it has also stopped payment of interest on the debentures from 1998. Regulatory bodies like the securities and exchange board of India have also turned a blind eye to the suffering of small investors.

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for Riverland College film program, you may think about LIU Brooklyn class availability for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
