"The Podcast You Absolutely Have To Listen To" is a new series where we talk about the podcasts on the internet you should be checking out. If you're living on planet Earth, you already know about the most famous ones– like WTF with Marc Maron, The Adam Carolla Show, The Nerdist, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Comedy Bang Bang. But there are literally thousands more and we're combing through them for you, to let you know which ones you should check out first.
This week, "Legion of Skanks" with Big Jay Oakerson, Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith
Does going down on your father's step-brother's daughter count as incest? Who has the worst ass, Luis or Jay? Who got punked by a guitarist from 3 Days Grace? These questions and more answered on the Podcast You Absolutely Have to Listen to, the Legion of Skanks!
Featuring comedians Big Jay Oakerson, Luis J. Gomez (and don't you dare forget the "J"), and Dave Smith, the Legion of Skanks discusses literally anything and everything without holding back or self-censoring. In a word, the Legion of Skanks are simply honest. And being so brutally honest about topics like race, sex, etc. in today's politically correct, apology obsessed culture is a welcome and much-needed breath of fresh air.
Starting out as a self-produced in-home recorded podcast, the Legion of Skanks eventually moved to their current home at the Creek & the Cave comedy club located in Long Island City, NY. Recorded in front of a live audience every Tuesday at 10 p.m., Jay, Luis, & Dave bring on a variety of guests from the comedy world, including Dan Soder, Ari Shaffir, Kurt Metzger, Mike Finoia to laugh & cringe along with them. You can listen to gravelly voiced Luis (after listening to the LoS, your own inner voice will transform into Jay & Dave's hilarious impression of Luis) read a love poem he wrote at the "tender" age of 24 (episode #20). Or sweat nervously along with the Skanks while they take AIDS tests live on the show, and after hearing the tales of their sexual exploits, you have plenty of reasons to be anxious for them (ep. #75). And who could forget the infamous "All Dude, All Nude" episode (ep. #39) in which Jay, Luis, & Dave, you guessed it, do the entire episode naked?
But the most valuable aspect of the Legion of Skanks is the reason why they are the "Podcast You Absolutely Have to Listen to" for those interested in pursuing a career in comedy. Never before has there been such a tool for young comics where they can sit in on conversations between comedians like Jay, Luis, & Dave while they share inside information on the craft & business of comedy. It's fascinating to hear them discuss joke writing and how to control audiences and work through difficult sets with the likes of Rich Vos, Bonnie McFarlane (ep. #87), and Andrew Shulz (ep. #101). Hearing Jay, Luis, & Dave talk about working their way up through the open mic circuit to featuring/hosting spots then finally making it to headlining gigs is quite inspiring.
Not bad for a bunch of Skanks.

Martial arts is not flower arranging. Injuries happen. If you are studying martial arts there is a risk of an injury happening to you. If you are injured keep on training even while the injury is healing.
If you rely on your hands to make a living, just understand and accept the risk of injury if you sign up for any martial arts. No complaining, it is a risk you assumed.
This hand belongs to a professional musician.

Today, Jihlavan delivers components for a number of domestic and international aircraft companies. Historically, it participated in producing aircraft that were developed in Czechoslovakia by companies like Aero Vodochody or Let Kunovice. A new chapter of the company and its further development has been opened by projects for Airbus, one of the two major aircraft manufacturers in the world.
Airbus A350 XWB is the latest and the most sophisticated aircraft made by Airbus. This twin-engine wide-body transport aircraft for long distances is the direct answer of Airbus to the Dreamliner project of its competitor Boeing.
It is manufactured from over 70% of advanced materials, of which 53% are carbon composites. That's what makes it such a lightweight and efficient aircraft.
In its basic versions, the aircraft can transport between 270 and 350 passengers. The first aircraft were put into operation in 2015, and currently 44 end users use them in their fleets.
Jihlavan is engaged in the production of Airbus A350 XWB as a Tier-2 supplier of three hydraulic units, of which two are supplied by the company as single source.
Its involvement in the project was made possible thanks to new technology and investment in production, principally into the portfolio of special chemical processes (e.g. surface treatments and non-destructive tests).
The first deliveries of A350 folding strut actuators were made in 2010. The first prototypes of the A350 main and nose undercarriage door actuators were delivered back in October 2016. In both cases, these are long-term contracts for 6–8 years, with possible extensions.
This project is also large-scale from the perspective of total sales. When fully implemented (based on Airbus A350 production), the yearly volume will represent more than 100 million CZK.
At the beginning of 2017, Airbus had more than 800 confirmed orders for these new A350 aircraft.

Let's Encrypt on load balancers and reverse proxies with tls-sni-01
I'm working on a proof of concept at work to make our load balancers obtain and renew Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. It has to work with both Nginx Plus and HAProxy on Ubuntu 14.04.
The easiest and most popular authenticator to use is http-01, for which
the reverse proxy can simply override the
location and serve it locally. However, some sites do layer 4 load
balancing on port 80. Therefore, the webroot plugin is useless in those
The tls-sni-01 validation method, while requiring a little more reading to understand, is quite simple and applies to every situation regardless of the load-balancing mode. And if port 443 is load-balanced at layer 4, then you wouldn't be doing SSL offloading anyways.
To summarize tls-sni-01, the ACME server will challenge you to construct a self-signed SSL certificate with the token and validator values hashed and encoded into the serverAlternateNames of the certificate, which you must configure your server to provide during the TLS handshake with the SNI extension enabled.
This is exactly what Certbot's Nginx authenticator does, but I also want to support HAProxy, hence why I started to write these scripts.
I will be using certbot's manual plugin with
--manual-auth-hook and
--manual-cleanup-hook scripts. Our Ansible playbook will call certbot
with the manual plugin for SSL certs that are not yet obtained. Certbot
saves the configuration in
/etc/letsencrypt/renewal so that certbot's
renew script uses the same parameters.
- name: check if nginx is running
command: killall -0 nginx
register: nginx_status
ignore_errors: yes
changed_when: no
- name: request certificates by tls-sni
command: certbot certonly --cert-name {{ item.cert_name }}{% for domain in item.domains %} -d {{ domain }}{% endfor %} --non-interactive{% if letsencrypt_staging %} --staging{% endif %} --manual --manual-auth-hook /usr/local/bin/tls-sni-auth.sh --manual-cleanup-hook /usr/local/bin/tls-sni-cleanup.sh --manual-public-ip-logging-ok
creates: /etc/letsencrypt/live/{{ item.cert_name }}
with_items: "{{ letsencrypt_certificates }}"
when: nginx_status|success
During the initial provisioning of a load-balancer, the letsencrypt role
is run before the reverse proxy is installed because we want the SSL
certificates to be ready by that time. To resolve the chicken-and-egg
problem, I first check if the reverse proxy is already running. If
not, then I use the
--standalone plugin instead, and reconfigure the
renewal to use the
--manual plugin later.
- name: request certificates by standalone server
command: certbot certonly --cert-name {{ item.cert_name }}{% for domain in item.domains %} -d {{ domain }}{% endfor %} --non-interactive{% if letsencrypt_staging %} --staging{% endif %} --standalone
creates: /etc/letsencrypt/live/{{ item.cert_name }}
with_items: "{{ letsencrypt_certificates }}"
when: nginx_status|failed
- name: set the renewal authenticator to manual
dest: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/{{ item[0].cert_name }}.conf
section: renewalparams
option: "{{ item[1].option }}"
value: "{{ item[1].value|default(omit) }}"
state: "{{ item[1].state|default('present') }}"
- "{{ letsencrypt_certificates }}"
- - option: authenticator
value: manual
- option: manual_public_ip_logging_ok
value: "True"
- option: manual_auth_hook
value: /usr/local/bin/tls-sni-auth.sh
- option: manual_cleanup_hook
value: /usr/local/bin/tls-sni-cleanup.sh
- option: installer
value: "None"
- option: pref_challs
state: absent
Environment variables provided by certbot –manual
CERTBOT_DOMAIN: The domain being authenticated
CERTBOT_VALIDATION: The validation string
CERTBOT_TOKEN: Resource name part of the challenge
Additionally for cleanup:
CERTBOT_AUTH_OUTPUT: Whatever the auth script wrote to stdout
I haven't implemented this part yet, but here is the concept.
crt setting should point to the directory where this script will
place the certificates. By reloading haproxy, certificates in this directory
will be loaded to memory.
Nginx and Nginx Plus
.conf file will be dropped in
/etc/nginx/conf.tls-sni.d and
included when nginx is reloaded. This will add an SNI enabled virtual
server listening on port 443.
This is closely inspired by the nginx plugin to certbot.
This script assumes that the
http{} block in your Ngnix configuration includes any
.conf files in
/etc/nginx/conf.tls-sni.d, which does not exist by default.
mkdir -p ${work_dir}/tls-sni
# SAN A/B (64 characters)
san_a="$(sha256sum <<< ${CERTBOT_TOKEN})"
san_b="$(sha256sum <<< ${CERTBOT_VALIDATION})"
# create dNSName in the following format: x.y.acme.invalid
# create dNSName in the following format: x.y.ka.acme.invalid
# create openssl configuration
cat <<EOF > ${ssl_config}
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
x509_extensions = v3_req
prompt = no
subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid,issuer
basicConstraints = CA:TRUE
subjectAltName = @alt_names
DNS.1 = ${san_a_subject}"
DNS.2 = ${san_b_subject}"
# create openssl certificate
openssl req \
-x509 \
-nodes \
-days ${valid_days} \
-newkey rsa:${key_bits} \
-keyout ${key_file} \
-out ${cert_file} \
-config ${ssl_config}
# Cleanup any old Nginx config files
rm -f /etc/nginx/conf.tls-sni.d/*
# Configure Nginx
nginx_config=$(mktemp /etc/nginx/conf.tls-sni.d/tls-sni-XXXXX.conf)
cat <<EOF > ${nginx_config}
server {
listen *:443;
server_name *.acme.invalid;
ssl_certificate ${cert_file};
ssl_certificate_key ${key_file};
# Check the configuration and reload
nginx -t
service nginx reload
rm -f /etc/nginx/conf.tls-sni.d/*
/usr/local/bin/certbot renew --quiet --non-interactive --post-hook "service nginx reload"
- Inspired from: https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated/issues/271#issuecomment-250755980
- ACME protocol TLS SNI validation reference: https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/#tls-with-server-name-indication-tls-sni
Testing a server:
To test whether a server is presenting the desired SSL certificate, you can use openssl s_client. For example:
openssl s_client -server localhost:443 -servername x.y.acme.invalid [-showcerts] < /dev/null
This will display the server certificate information. The -servername option and parameter sets the SNI extension in the ClientHello message. Redirecting stdin to /dev/null closes the connexion as soon as the TLS handshake completes.
s_client(1) for more information.

On 1 October last year, Catalonia's independence referendum – deemed illegal by the Spanish government – created Spain's worst political crisis in decades. One year later, a long-lasting political solution has yet to take shape. In this article Alberto Arroyo, a spanish student of Business Administration at CUNEF (Colegio universitario de estudios financiarios- Madrid) expresses his view on the catalan issue.
Spain is currently undergoing one of the tensest political situations since the re-establishment of democracy in 1978: the Independence movement of Catalonia. This article will analyse the ideology and the consequences derived from it so far, with emphasis in the self-determination referendum that took place the 1st of October 2017.
Catalonia's independence movement started in 1886 with Josep-Narcís Roca lasting until nowadays with an important increase in the number of supporters between 2012 and 2018. Interestingly, this movement did not start in Catalonia but in Santiago de Cuba.
The thesis being defended by this movement is that Catalonia is a sovereign nation basically due to their interpretation of history, culture, own language, civil rights, and the statement that they will not reach their social and economic fullness until they leave Spain. Their main objective is to make Catalonia an independent republic, part of the European Union (what is impossible as it will be explained later on).
After the Catalan government failed to reach an agreement with the central government in Spain about holding a legal referendum for the independence of Catalonia, on 6th September 2017 the Parliament of Catalonia passed a law for holding a self-determination referendum without the approval of the competent authorities. This law established that the results of the referendum would be binding and that 2 days after the voting, the Catalan republic would be established in case that the "YES" option was the most voted. The question for the referendum was: "Would you like Catalonia to become an independent country in the form of republic?".
It is important to understand that they had been previously warned about the illegality of their actions, and the Constitutional Court suspended the law passed the previous day on 7th September. Acting as if the only law to be enforced was theirs, the Generalitat continued with the arrangements for the 1st October leading to the most convulse day in Spain since the death of Francisco Franco.
Given the complexity of the situation, the most relevant places during voting day were schools since they were the only place where people could vote, and it was precisely there where the social conflict reached its maximum level. Once again it is very important to understand that, in Spain, public schools (where voting was taking place) depend on the central government who had also stated that they had to remain close during that day. This basically means that any use of those spaces was against the law.
As in any country, in Spain the task of the state police is to assure the fulfillment of the law. Given that the voting had been clearly established as illegal, the central government ordered police to close all voting schools. Different pro-independence organisms had congregated civilians, especially kids, in schools so that police could not shut them down. When police forces faced civilians and tried to close the schools, the extreme violence began. The final result of the day was that not all schools were closed and therefore some people could vote.
Any democratic process must accomplish certain guarantees to be considered legitimate. Apart from all the irregularities already mentioned, voting process also brought some irregularities to be seriously considered. This opinion is not just from the people writing this article, but also shared by Daan Everts, chief of the international observers in charge of assuring the fairness of the voting.
1. Even though that in theory only Catalan people were allowed to vote in the referendum, Catalan government established an online voting system in which people from outside Catalonia could vote (as it was proved by ABC, Spanish newspaper) as well as allowing people to vote as many times as they wanted. This system was later on that day shut down by police.
2. No paper envelopes were used allowing people to slip more than one vote in the voting boxes and eliminating the premise of the secret vote.
3. Voting boxes were not properly closed allowing organisers to extract votes in case they wanted.
4. There was no official census of the people allowed to vote. An online census system was established but it was also shut down by police. This led to images around the internet of people voting more than 3 or 4 times, people from all over Spain voting or even kids under 18 voting.
5. There was no votes counting system.
6. Last but not least, the main democratic idea of everyone being allowed to express his ideas was not fulfilled since not everyone who wanted could vote.
This huge amount of irregularities makes the result of the referendum absolutely invalid, and therefore the message given since then by independence organisms saying that they represent the majority of the population.
1. Neither the Catalan government nor the Spanish central authorities were able to obtain an idea of the real percentage of the population who support independentism. Having a percentage of the population wanting to leave the country regardless of the consequences, is a huge problem; but in order to be able to address it properly you need to know the amount of people who believe that.
2. The use of violence by the Spanish police forces has given independentism arguments against the government. I do understand that schools had to be shut down in order to fulfill the law, but given that the date of the referendum had been announced some time before, if the response had been more organised, the results could have been much better.
3. Deterioration of the image of both the Catalan and the Spanish governments towards both the outside and the inside. The independence movement had already had devastating economic and social consequences for Spain and especially for Catalonia.
First of all, it is very clear that the possible independence of Catalonia from Spain is a matter that would not only affect Catalonia, but all and every single region in Spain. Spain as it can be seen today was established in 1492 with the Catholic Kings, and since then every time a specific region has gone through difficult times the others have helped as they could.
Neither the independence nor the non-independence movements know whether they represent a majority of the population.
Possible problem: giving arguments to the independence movement.

By: RT New Day, June 19, 2018
Here we go again. The hurricane season officially began June 1 with AccuWeather predicting three to five major hurricanes between now and November.
Last year, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria caused nearly $300 billion in total damages, while negatively impacting millions of lives. That's because even after the flood waters receded, water contaminated by sewage and debris as well as mold and other microbial matter continued to impede cleanup and create health issues.
This is just part of the ongoing pattern. Wrecked homes, miles of flooded real estate and mold everywhere besieged New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In Sandy's aftermath, many homeowners, commercial businesses and public housing authorities spent hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars on mold problems that weren't covered by many existing insurance policies.
Fortunately, the commercial insurance landscape has expanded in recent years. Previously, most contractors or real estate owners only held commercial general liability or property policies (or builders risk insurance), which lacked the terms needed to effectively repair properties ravaged by water and/or microbial growth (mold or bacteria). Many of these same insureds now have Environmental Liability Insurance – Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL) and/or Pollution Legal Liability (PLL) to protect against such conditions.
Furthermore, most CPL and PLL policies today are designed to offer some form of emergency response or mitigation coverage (to prevent a third-party claim from ever being made) in instances where the event doesn't qualify as an emergent situation (as defined by the policy). Therefore, it is imperative for insurers and their insurance agents/brokers to be acutely aware of the recovery amounts available to them under these policies as well as the terms and conditions of filing claims on a timely basis.
For instance, in the construction industry there are two important aspects of coverage – the insuring agreement and the claims reporting provision. The insuring agreement or trigger can be occurrence or claims-made. Very simply, if bodily injury, property damage and/or cleanup exposures occur during the policy period, the trigger will provide coverage regardless of when the claim is actually made to the carrier. As for a claims-made trigger, the claim must be made within the policy period for pollution incidents that arise out of services or contracting work performed subsequent to a retroactive date. That's why claims made policies in the environmental world are truly referred to as "claims-made and reported" policies.
Reporting of a claim or incident in a timely fashion is vital but even more so under a claims made insuring agreement. Insureds who experience water damage/water intrusion or mold growth must be keenly aware of their rights and the policy's terms and limitations. This is also reflected by the claims reporting provision itself. That's why it's so important to understand the policy's terms and reporting stipulations. Regardless of the trigger, nearly all carriers require strict compliance with claims reporting provisions.
Typical reporting provisions under a CPL policy require insureds to report the potential claims, damages or incidents in a reasonable time frame (usually as soon as practicable but sometimes immediate reporting is required), after a responsible insured is made aware of the exposure. In addition, insureds will typically be required to provide as much detail as possible, while not admitting liability, settling any claim or making payment without carrier consent. Doing so may void coverage.
Unfortunately, no one can truly predict Mother Nature. Going forward we can only prepare for tragedy with tools that can not only help to lessen the devastation, but also aid the reconstruction process after the immediate impact subsides.

It's worth making the trip to the small village of Duddingston just for the scenery: expect beautiful gardens, stark hillsides, and a stunning view of the loch. This, coupled with The Magic Quest, would make a fine family afternoon outside the city centre.
The production was a stroll through the gardens of Duddingston Kirk on a quest to protect the environment from a goblin who wants to take over the land and exploit it for mining. This struck me as a little high-brow for the ages at which the show is aimed (4 to 11). Whilst the premise might be accessible for the older end of that spectrum, the rest of the show was definitely aimed at the younger years. The eldest child there, around 8 years old, did not appear to be engaged.
The entire production is delivered in Scots, and for the most part the actors successfully convey the story through their acting, emotions, and facial expressions (at which Robert Williamson, playing Tumshie the Jester, is particularly adept). However, it occasionally hindered the communication; when asked what a clue meant, a child near me replied "I don't know, I don't speak Scots!" This may, of course, be less of a problem for more local families.
On the whole the children were highly entertained by characters' antics, particularly a slapstick fight between Williamson and an ogre (played by Alan Ireby). The cast were friendly and conversational with the children on walks between locations, keeping them entertained and interacting well with them during the scenes. They also did just enough to engage the adults present, which I feel is important for any children's show.
To complete a trip to Duddingston, the gardens would be worth exploring beyond what the show offers. The venue is right next to Holyrood Park, as well as Duddingston Loch and Bird Sanctuary, so head here if you want an afternoon outdoors. The Kirk itself is open for visitors on Thursdays and Sundays, and there is an inn down the road if you are looking for things to do indoors. If you are planning an outing here, be sure to check the weather forecast, dress appropriately, and be aware of bus times.

This show is certainly one for the kids. It is held in Duddingston Kirk Manse Gardens, a 25min bus from the city centre. The interactive event takes your young ones on a journey into the magical landscape of traditional Scotland.
The gardens are beautifully maintained and the show makes full use of the space. You are led by a friendly elf following a series of clues. You sing with a court jester and move from pond to grove to tree on a quest to find the mythical "dregan" that will defeat the evil goblin.
The educational aspects include environmentalist undertones and use of basic Scots words. The evil goblin is trying to tear up the beautiful landscape that elves and children play in, all for the sake of mining gold. Luckily the elves and children understand the importance of maintaining the land and so are willing to stand up to the bullie-dozers that the goblin plans to bring in.
The use of Scots is also entertaining and sets the mood for a return to the good old days when man was in touch with nature rather than trying to destroy it. A word that features heavily in the show is "muckle". For those not familiar with Scots, muckle is a word used to mean a large amount of something, and "many a mickle makes a muckle" a delightful phrase meaning that lots of small amounts of a thing makes a big amount of a thing.
The performers are appropriately enthusiastic and engage the children with laughs and smiles that are infectious. The costumes are vibrant and mystical. And the quest is as exciting and silly as a children's show should be.
The show description recommends itself as being appropriate for 4 - 11 year olds. However the content and delivery lends itself to the younger end of this age range; over 7s might find themselves somewhat less than enthralled by the fairy-tale.
Ideally this show would be seen on a sunny day given its outdoor setting. However this reviewer saw the it under showery skies and, equipped with a good rain coat, would still recommend it on a wet, grey day.

Am a widower with an 11l3-year old daughter. I live in a comfortable apartment building and would be able to offer a separate room for whoever stays. I do work some mornings. My daughter attends school 5-6 days a week. She is usually back home by 2.30-3.00 pm.
I really would like to learn Spanish as I had learnt some when I was much younger. Would also like to improve my fitness as I suffered a major accident a few years back, but getting back to normal.
My apartment is comfortable, well-ventilated and has most amenities. Air conditioning, water heater, washing machine, dish-washer, wi-fi etc.
I live at one end of the city but there are buses, auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks) and taxis readily available.
Bhubaneswar is a historical city with a huge number of old temples dating back to the 7th-13th centuries. There are also a few rock cut caves and rock paintings dating more than 20,000 years as well as Jain-period and Ashokan sites from the 2nd-4th centuries BC.
Bhubaneswar is mostly a planned city, other than in the old town. So streets are wide and it is quite green.
I live about 5km from the airport, 7 from the railway station and about 4km from the main bus-stand (for long-distance buses). The city abuts a forest sanctuary and has quite a few parks, 2 large horticultural gardens and a major zoological garden. Most things are easily available in the city and there are quite a few restaurants serving exotic fare.
The closest beach area is about 55km away (Puri, Konark area) and Chilka Lake is also about 60 km away.
Medical facilities are excellent both traditional Ayurvedic as well as Western medicine.
Babysitting / child care
Cooking / shopping
Help with Eco project
Help in the house
Language practice
I can teach some cooking, spoken Italian and French, spoken English (am pretty good at all 3). Can also take the person around town and, once in a while, out of town. Can guide them to various cultural groups in the city (music and dance). Also can arrange interactions with various tribal groups of Orissa (arts and crafts).
Would expect a bit of help in the house... cooking... I usually cook...(have a maid who does the dishes and main cleaning), someone who can keep my daughter company once in a while and eventually, teach her something, someone who can help me improve my Spanish and finally someone to goad me into fitness again.
English, French, Italian, German, Hindi, Bengali, Oriya
Individual air-conditioned room. Separate bathroom. As I said earlier, I usually cook. Would appreciate some help there. We would also eat out once in a while.
As mentioned above, there is a lot to do and see here. I have hosted a number of people earlier through other sites and I think they all enjoyed themselves.
Since we live in an apartment building, loud music is a no-no, smoking only allowed on the balcony. Absolutely no drugs. Other than that would expect a certain degree of cleanliness. Cannot accomodate pets, though both my daughter and I love animals. Am also involved in tree-planting together with various NGOs.
I am a newbie host on workaway, so not yet really clear about some things. Have often hosted travellers using other platforms.
We are not vegans or even vegetarians, but we are open to try anything as long as our nutritional requirements are fulfilled. Don't really know much about vegan cooking...you would have to give us pointers..
If you are interested in staying with us, kindly message your cell number or WhatsApp or email id. I usually respond pretty quickly.

What are CNAME and TXT records?
Previous section: DNS guide overview
Domain verification is a critical step to ensure we're able to correctly authenticate and sign the surveys with your domain. Both CNAME and TXT records help facilitate this process, added to your DNS settings to help provide verification that:
- The domain is not spoofed
- The domain is valid
- There is no misuse of the domain name
Why are these records added?
The primary reason customers add CNAME and TXT records to their DNS settings is to permit Delighted survey emails the ability to reflect their company's respective domain. These adjustments can help increase engagement (customers being more likely to respond to an address with which they are familiar), as well as maintain a more consistent sense of branding throughout the survey experience.
For example, consider a customer, Hem & Stitch, wanted to send Delighted surveys from @hemandstitch.com. Currently, the surveys would appear as being from "firstname.lastname@example.com". To update, they'd add Delighted-provided CNAME and TXT records to their DNS settings. Once added, their surveys will now come from "firstname.lastname@example.com".
Additionally, certain enterprise systems can be more strict regarding the emails they let through. Sending survey emails from a company's respective domain can help bypass many of those filtering processes, benefiting from prior whitelisting of the domain.
Ready to get started with sending via your company's domain? In the next section, we'll cover how to quickly request those records from Delighted, as well as an example of the data we'll send back your way.

I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL. I've only run it a a half dozen times. I left the stock NIMH battery plugged into the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus 4-amp charger. I didn't use the battery and truck as quickly as I expected (about a month). When I eventually plugged in the battery to the truck and pressed the On button, the truck didn't move. I plugged the battery back in the charger and it won't reach the green level that indicates a full charge.
I'm guessing I fried the battery by leaving it on the charger too long?
Please, if you only want to make "That's right, Stupid," remarks, just don't.
Hmmm....battery damage through overdischarge via parasitic losses from being connected to an unpowered charger? If so (and that's just a guess) that's a new one to me, but I'd say it is possible. Then again, I don't know anybody who has done this before. Again, hmmm...
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
The charger was plugged in the entire time with the battery receiving power.
Well why didn't you say that before?!? Doesn't matter - I still got nothing. Except to ask exactly what is the charger showing?

Last weekend, Subhash Garg, Secretary, Economic Affairs, and a member on the board of the Reserve Bank of India, tweeted that reports of the government seeking a huge transfer of surplus funds were not true. His tweet came amid conflict between the government and the RBI on several issues, which has seen a public spat and led to the government initiating discussions with the RBI Governor by formally using a provision in the RBI Act that has not been used in the past. What the government and the RBI were engaged in, Garg tweeted, was fixing an appropriate economic capital framework for the central bank. What is this framework, and how does this differ from capital adequacy?
What it means
The concept of economic capital has gained significance especially after the global financial crisis in 2008. The crisis exposed many central banks in the world to multiple risks, which forced many of them — US Federal Reserve, Bank of England and European Central Bank — besides sovereign governments to pump in liquidity, buy securities and expand their balance sheets to boost confidence in the financial system and to ensure that critical institutions did not collapse. The balance sheet of central banks is unlike that of the institutions that it regulates or supervises. They are not driven by the aim of boosting profits given their public policy or public interest role. Their aim is primarily ensuring monetary and financial stability – maintaining confidence in the external value of the currency, of course, is a key mandate.
Central banks do make money thanks to seigniorage, or the profits earned by issuing currency which is passed on to the owner of the central bank, the government. But they are typically conservative and the crisis prompted a review of the capital buffers that central banks and commercial banks needed. Essentially, the economic capital framework reflects the capital that an institution requires or needs to hold as a counter against unforeseen risks or events or losses in the future.

The potential risks
Traditionally, central banks have been factoring in risks such as credit risk — when there could be a potential default by an entity in which there has been an investment or exposure. There is also interest rate risk — when interest rates either move up or slide, depending on the price of which securities or bonds held by a central bank or banks can be impacted. Besides, there is operational risk — when there is a failure of internal processes. To measure these risks, both quantitative and qualitative methods are typically used. These include stress tests to evaluate worst-case scenarios such as collapse of banks, value at risk and so on.
Read | In talks with RBI to fix economic capital framework: Government
The RBI proposal
In 2015, the RBI discussed this and put in place a draft Economic Capital Framework, or ECF. What it sought then was to cover not only the risk in its balance sheet — foreign exchange risks, or the valuation of the foreign securities it holds against a huge pile of foreign exchange reserves, and as the lender of last resort — but also what it described as contingent risks arising from its public policy role in fostering monetary and financial stability. The rationale for such a capital framework was that there were increased risks to its balance sheet, and an adequate capital buffer was critical not only to achieving its objectives, but also to ensuring the credibility of the central bank.
What it pointed out was that a weak balance sheet could force the central bank to rely more on excessive seigniorage income, which would run in conflict to its price stability mandate. Central banks may not put it explicitly, but a compelling reason for them to build such large capital buffers is to try and preempt a situation where they have to approach their governments for beefing their capital or for recapitalisation. That is seen by them as an erosion of their operational independence. What the RBI also pointed out then was that such requests could come at a time when the sovereigns or governments themselves are under fiscal strain. As it put it, it strengthens the case for ex-ante capitalisation than ex-post capitalisation – meaning that it would be better to build a capital framework way ahead of a crisis. Arriving at this figure is, therefore, a challenge.
This has been done in many countries, such as New Zealand and England. In June this year, the Bank of England and Her Majesty's Treasury or HM Treasury (the equivalent of India's Finance Ministry) signed a MoU on a capital framework and on distributing its surplus. In a letter to Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond on June 21, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney wrote that the new capital framework would ensure that the bank's policy work is fully funded and that the bank is equipped with capital resources consistent with monetary and financial stability remits given by Parliament. It provides a robust and transparent system that ensures the credibility of the bank's policy action in even the most stressed environment, and reflects the new way in which the bank provides liquidity. As Carney explained, at the heart of the capital framework is a risk-based capital target reflecting forward-looking risks to the balance sheet over the next five years. Its level is determined by evaluating the loss impact of severe plausible stress scenarios, which are to be reviewed annually and discussed with the Treasury.
How it works
The Bank of England's capital will be capped by a ceiling above which all net profits are transferred to the treasury as dividend. It also ensures that there is a floor below which a rapid recap to the target is triggered, the Governor wrote. When the cap is below the target, no dividend is paid; when the cap is between the ceiling and the target, 50% of net profits is paid as dividend. The floor now for the bank is £500 million, the target £3.5 billion and ceiling £5.5 billion. These parameters are to be reviewed every five years. The current capital of the Bank of England is £2.3 billion.
The challenge in India
The Bank of England has said that its capital framework takes into account its wide remit. That's an argument the RBI can easily take, for its mandate too is wider than many central banks. There is also the fact that in India, the government that owns a large number of banks is itself struggling to recapitalise these banks, given the fiscal strain and the need to meet fiscal targets and to spend adequately on infrastructure and on social welfare schemes.
In a speech in September 2016, then outgoing RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan said the RBI board has adopted a risk-management framework which indicates the level of equity the RBI needs, given the risks it faces. The dividend policy of the RBI then becomes a technical matter of how much residual surplus is available each year after bolstering equity. Frameworks thus reduce the space for differences, he said. But what governments here also have to be mindful of is that unlike in the past when much of the crisis had its origins in fiscal stress, over the past years, it is originating in the financial sector with its growing and influential role. And the contagion effect flowing from that is difficult to contain.

A television antenna used to mean spindly telescopic metal rods ("rabbit ears") while they had to be taken to work. This required clever positioning, perhaps a little bit of aluminum foil and sometimes some interpretive dance moves. Fun! Today, thanks to streaming services such as SlingTV, PlayStation Vue, YouTube and more, we can receive videos over the Internet on our TVs, phones and tablets. And modern technology has also brought antennas into the 21
One could therefore think of choosing an antenna and installing a process that would also benefit from the modernization. Yes, we thought so too.
But as we evaluated different brands and styles, we learned that choosing the right antenna and finding the best place to place it is still part of science, two parts of voodoo. The key to success is meeting your expectations and getting ready for a little trial and error. In the end, a small effort goes a long way and we think it's all worth it. Here are a few tips on how to install a TV antenna in your home, as well as the perfect hunt for your place of residence.
Get the Location of the Country
You can get a general sense of where you are & # 39; I would like to set your antenna by visiting Antennaweb.org. Enter your zip code and address, and the site will display the locations of the local broadcast antennas for your home. It is also suggested which type of antenna you might need (medium multidirectional, small directional, amplified, etc.).
Choosing the right antenna is still a part of science, two parts voodoo.
We have had mixed results with the antenna type suggestion tool. For example, a medium sized directional antenna would be the right choice at our address. However, with a small, multidirectional antenna, we can catch up with almost every available station. If you live in or near a large metropolitan area, you may find that this is the case.
Once you know where the broadcast antennas are, consider the geographic landscape between these two towers and you. If large objects are within sight of you or you live in a deep valley, you may need to put up your antenna in the loft, on the roof, or even in a building tree to get a solid reception. Conversely, if you live in an elevated area, you may find that you can get a good signal even from afar.
If you live in a city center where there are many skyscrapers, all bets are off. That's because most of the signals you pick up are reflected off other buildings, and you can not tell where they're from. This does not mean that you can not get a reception, it just means that you may not be able to reach all the channels from a single antenna location.
Choosing an Antenna
If you have researched at all, you know that there are many antennas to choose from, but in our experience we have had the best results with models from Mohu, ClearStream and Channel Master. You can check our current list of the best indoor HD antennas, including the best models we've tested lately (plus a few outdoor models).
However, if you do more shopping Generally, here are some basic tips to help you with your search.
The first is the receive direction. By and large, most antennas on the market today are omnidirectional, which means they can pick up signals no matter how they are located. However, some only receive signals from one or two directions. Remember which direction (s) are near broadcasting towers relative to your home, and look for antennas that can be easily mounted for the best possible reception.
While the reception direction is important, do not forget to pay attention to the reception area as well. While most antennas are likely to accommodate channels when you live in the subway or suburb, things get less and less safe the farther you live away from the signal towers. Here too you can use the antenna web tool to determine the distance to your next transmission point (s).
Generally you will find antennas with a reception rate of 20, 30, 40 or 50 miles. Note, however, that the ranges given by the manufacturers are estimates only and may not be completely accurate as there are no universal test criteria, let alone environmental factors affect reception. As long as you are within the enumerated operating range of an antenna, you should be fine, but if you are on the edge, it is better to go something with a wider reception. Speaking of receiving, amplified antennas may help, but the term "amplified" can be misleading. Essentially, the amplifiers built into these antennas make weak signals stronger, so the tuner on your TV recognizes them more accurately. However, amplifiers do not improve the reception quality. In fact, it is not recommended to use an amplifier when it is not necessary. This can degrade the signal you send to your TV, which means poorer picture quality. In general, amplifiers are only a good idea if you live 50 miles or more of transmission towers or if you are transmitting the signal from a single antenna to multiple TVs. That is, if you live so far out of a tower, an outdoor antenna is a better choice anyway.
Outdoor antennas are generally larger and more durable than indoor counterparts, and when mounted outdoors on a roof there could be better reception than even a reinforced interior model, they will cost you. In some cases, an outdoor antenna is the right choice – especially if you live in rural areas or if there is room in your home – otherwise an interior model can do the right thing.
The last thing you should keep mind is the signal type an antenna can record. There are two main signal types: VHF and UHF. The difference between the two is essentially what channels are broadcast in these frequencies. VHF covers channels 2-13 while 14-51 UHF. The good news is that most antennas are good at both VHF and UHF, but there are some that can only pick one signal type or the other, and some antennas are better at picking one over the other. This information is usually clearly noted in the product descriptions.
Where should I put this thing?
This is the part where you have to adopt the practice of trial and error. There are so many factors involved in receiving broadcast signals that the best place for your antenna is the last place you think you can express it. With this we have some general guidelines to offer:
- Near the condominium closest to the towers – In general, it should be better to capture a direct signal rather than one that reflects on you Neighbor's house
- In a window – The part without a metal screen tends to work best.
- High on the Wall – Conventional wisdom suggests that higher is better.
- Behind the TV – If you have no problems with the reception, a tiny antenna like the Mohu Metro or HD Frequency Mini can be hidden right behind a TV. We've gotten better results by placing the antenna on the top of the TV rather than on the floor where the TV's electronics are at home.
- Outside – There are both indoor-outdoor hybrids and dedicated outdoor antennas that can be mounted on your house connection (see Placement Tip 1), mounted on your roof or even in the yard. These can often be incorporated into the existing coaxial cable block of a house, so that the signal can be divided into several rooms. If you do, you should use a boosted splitter to maintain signal integrity.
Once you have selected a general location or if you only want to experiment with multiple locations, connect your antenna to your TV and have it search for channels. Based on your search at Antennaweb.org you should know how many channels are in your area. When your TV is done scanning, it should tell you not only how many channels it has found, but also which channels are blocked. If you see missing channels, try a different location and perform a new scan. Sink and repeat until you find the best possible location.
Special Note: If you live in the dream dreams, you have to raise your antenna, which means you have to buy a mast, a mast mount and a long length coaxial cable – and climb something. How high the antenna has to be mounted depends on your situation. Do you see someone with an antenna nearby? You probably have to go that high.
Customize your Channel List
Chances are, you'll be scanning and programming channels that you're not interested in. For most TVs, you can manually add or delete channels from your list. Make turning the channel a little easier by removing the channels you do not want. If you're a Plex user, you can also connect your antenna to your Plex server with a TV tuner, creating a kind of makeshift TV service with DVR.
That was & # 39; s! We hope that this little guide was helpful. Enjoy the fruits of your work. We think you'll find the picture quality you get with Broadcast HD much better than what you get from your cable or satellite company. Since it is uncompressed, it is probably the best picture outside of UHD Blu-ray discs. Some manufacturers are even able to future-proof their antennas with 4K support, so those with a 4K UHD TV can even take full advantage of their TV's ultra-high-definition features.

In part two of his guide to living in post-recession Ireland, Pat Fitzpatrick looks at our core values as a nation in terms of religion, sport, love, homosexuality, work and the Irish language, and examines how they have been altered by boom and bust. More importantly, he tells you how to avoid embarrassing yourself in public by falling foul of Ireland's new standards. Illustration by Jon Berkeley
The physical effects of the past couple of decades in Ireland are obvious. Motorways, empty estates, fake boobs, plump kids and different-coloured skin. But what did the roaring Noughties do to our beliefs? More to the point, what should you at least pretend to believe so as to avoid looking like a tool in public?
You'll still find cars parked outside country churches on Sunday morning, but the Catholic Church is finished. Everything from the Murphy Report, to a priest in Kerry queuing up with the bogmen to shake the hand of convicted sex offender in court has seen to that.
So where should you go now for a hit of spirituality? A number of Irish people have been tempted to attend gospel services, because they look like fun. You'll have seen them on a documentary, giving it hallelujah with immaculately dressed Nigerian families on a Sunday morning, sticking out like a sore thumb that seems to be dancing to The Birdie Song.
You don't want to be one of them. Africans look good praising the Lord because they are comfortable with public displays of emotion; agony or ecstasy, it's all the one. We reckon this should suit us, because we like to think of ourselves as Latin souls with freckles. In reality, we are straightforward Nordic types, who need a table full of pints before we let ourselves go.
The only time you see us praise the Lord with gusto is at midnight mass, where we'd prime ourselves with a few hot whiskeys before belting out, "Joy to the world! The Lord is come!" as if it were Ole Ole Ole.
Sober mass is an entirely different affair, where we mutter, "I believe in one God", down at our shoes and give each other the sign of peace with an apologetic handshake. Sorry for touching you in public.
The dreariness of the Catholic mass was perfect in a country whose national motto should be 'Jesus, I hope nobody is looking at me.' Now that it's pretty much gone, the people of Ireland are left with two choices. If you are a man, you will believe in nothing. If you are a woman, you will believe almost anything.
Because of satellite TV, the modern Irish man spends a lot of time watching documentaries about either monkeys or Nazis. On the basis of this, he has concluded that we are just chimps in shoes. Therefore, particularly in male company, an Irish man should proclaim himself an atheist. Otherwise the other men will just laugh at you and ask did you not see that show on Discovery where the monkey drove a motorbike and showed signs of empathy.
The beauty of this newfound atheism is that you are free to replace religion in your life with the only thing you really believe in. Sport. In place of entry into heaven, you should aim to play five-a-side until you are 45, and then train an under-age team at your local GAA, soccer or rugby club. Everyone else is doing it. Instead of handing out the collection basket at mass, you can now play your part in the community by imagining you are Alex Ferguson while shouting at the Under 10s on a Sunday morning. What's not to like? If you want a truly spiritual experience, then go to Croke Park.
And remember, the only sacred thing left in an Irish man's life is that the GAA should remain an amateur organisation. Any attempt to change that is sacrilege. Even inter-county stars who make millions for the GAA and nothing for themselves have to pretend this is the case.
It's different if you are a woman. In place of chimps and Nazis, you watch Ghost Whisperer and Desperate Housewives. You've had it with organised religion, but your sixth sense tells you to still believe in ghosts, fate and superstitions. It's why you wave at magpies.
It's also why most Irish women now believe in angels. In case you just popped in from 1998, the angels are the new religion of choice for Irish women. Most now believe they have a guardian angel, a kind of Santa Claus with wings who exists to look after them and help them get anything from a new man to a Mini Cooper. Apparently if that doesn't work you can appeal to something called the Universe, a supreme court of wishful thinking.
Angels are the perfect spiritual product for Ireland in recession. For a start they are free. There is no collection plate to fix the roof of the church, or buy Fr Gerry a new Toyota, or pay compensation to the victims of clerical abuse. The angels are also available 24/7, in your mind, so you don't have to get up on a freezing Sunday morning and go to mass. While they are dedicated to putting the wrongs of the world to right, they never seem to judge. This is brilliant because when you think about it, there is nothing good about being judged. It also ties in beautifully with our newfound sense of victimhood, where we're all paying for the boom years even though none of us seemed to benefit from it.
The only drawback with the angels is that when you start talking to a man about them, he will think you are bonkers. He has probably seen a documentary on National Geographic about them and knows it's all rubbish. So if you have asked your guardian angel for a bit of romance from the new guy in accounts or an engagement ring, the last thing you should do is tell the man in question or he will run away muttering about needing to train the Under 14s and you will never see him again.
Gay Ireland
When Cork hurling goalkeeper Donal Og Cusack told his family he was gay, his father replied, "They all have square jaws, but you don't . . . You need to get fixed." The country laughed its head off when this emerged in Cusack's book last year. We pitied the poor father for being so out of touch.
The real voice of modern Ireland could be heard in the reaction of Cusack's team mate, Ben O'Connor. "If there are 30 of us out there, there is surely one fella among us who is gay, and if Ogie is gay I don't give a fuck."
Not to suggest that O'Connor didn't mean what he said but, if you want to avoid looking as out of touch as Cusack's dad, it's vital these days to stress that you couldn't give a fuck about someone's sexuality.
The standard response of straight Irish people down the years -- "I don't care what they get up to in private as long they don't try it on with me" -- is no longer enough. In fact, that's homophobic these days. We're so tolerant in Ireland now that you should be delighted to have a gay man try it on with you.
We're so embarrassed by our backward attitudes in the past that we overcompensate by stressing how cool we are with it now. There are a couple of rules around this. When referring to well-known homosexuals such as Graham Norton or David Norris, never ever mention their sexuality, because what's that got to do with anything? Remember, we don't give a fuck.
It is crucial that you surround yourself with gay people. If you don't have a gay friend already, then get at least one as soon as you can (unless of course you are gay, in which case prepare for a lot of straight people asking you around for dinner). That way, you can pepper sentences with "my gay friend" references, which is very now.
All the better if you can manage to uncover homosexuality in your family. They don't need to be gay, a suspicion will do nicely. "I'm sure my brother is gay. Obviously, I don't give a fuck. I'm behind him all the way." Don't snigger when you say this.
If the younger generations are anything to go by, Ireland is about to become extremely camp. A lot of the young shop assistants in places such as Topshop, Gap and H&M make Gok Wan look like Paul O'Connell. In one of those shops in Cork the other day, I saw a guy mincing so quickly it was like he was on wheels.
Whatever you do, don't try to ingratiate yourself with these teens in a trendy-uncle way by camping it up yourself. One of them is bound to say, "That's so gay", which is a compliment when they say it to each other but an insult when they say it to you.
One more thing. Hold back on getting a lesbian friend as a social accessory for a couple of years. We're still not there when it comes to accepting that mna na hEireann could be turned on by mna na hEireann. In fact, we're probably back around Donal Og's father on that one. But that will change. Or get fixed.
Love and Marriage
Thirty four per cent of Irish births in the first quarter of 2009 were outside marriage. Now that men believe in sport and women believe in angels, that figure is likely to increase.
That doesn't mean the end of weddings. They're no longer under pressure to do 'the decent thing', but Irish drinking society still insists that unmarried couples give their friends a big day out. This is what marriage is about now.
The big day out was easy in the boom years. You put on a slightly better wedding than your friend did the year before ("Oh, we're having champagne at ours, sure we have cava every Friday night!") and in return you got cash gifts of €250 per invited couple, €150 for a loner. As long as the bridesmaids didn't go nuts on their facials, manicures, pedicures, false tan and all-over body wax, you came close enough to breaking even.
All that has changed. A lot of guests will have lost jobs, taken pay cuts, seen the value of their home decrease. Nobody knows how much money to give any more.
A good wedding host should let people know through the Gift Guru. Every family and group of friends has one. She -- it's always a woman -- is acknowledged as the person who knows the right amount of money to hand over in wedding, christening and confirmation situations. Never mind that the whole thing is a mystery, everybody will consult her to find out what they should cough up. So, if you're getting married, just tell her the price list: €75 for unemployed couple; €150 for single-income couple; €250 if both are still working; "and if anybody gives a donation to charity in place of a present, I'll mention their name in the speech and not in a good way."
But what if the Gift Guru is unsure? How much should you give then? Whatever you do, don't slip a cheque into a card saying: "Lowered the present to €200, allowing for deflation and likelihood you got a great deal from the hotel. Have a good one, Tony and Lisa, xx." This applies even if you are an accountant.
Likewise, don't be one of those eejits who decides to give €300 to help make up the likely shortfall caused by people who gave less because they were unemployed or accountants. When word of your 'generosity' gets out (and it will), fellow guests will just bitch about you rubbing their noses in it and you'll be forced to listen to, "Ooh, no recession here!" for the next six months. No good deed goes unpunished.
The only winner here is somebody who has recently lost a job. No matter how much you give, the married couple will protest that they didn't expect anything from you in the current circumstances. So give them nothing. They can't say a word.
The Irish Language
Things are looking grim for the Irish language. Gaelscoileanna thrived during the boom because middle-class people were willing to pay so that Fiachra, Oisin and Caoimhe wouldn't have to mix with Wayne and Cheryl in their local primary school. They probably can't pay now. TG4 was heavily subsidised so that people in the Gaeltacht could watch Ros na Run, Lipstick Jungle and documentaries about island people. That funding is bound to come under pressure.
So, does the recession mean curtains for Gaeilge? No. There has never been a better time to speak Irish in this country. Why? Immigration.
It used be that most of us only ever spoke Irish when we were abroad, usually to take the piss out of a local waiter. In the new multicultural Ireland, we're driven demented listening to groups of Poles, Chinese, Germans and Nigerians talking and laughing in their own language. We reckon they're talking about us. Wouldn't it be great if we had a language of our own?
Suddenly people who haven't spoken Irish since the Leaving Cert oral exam find themselves saying to a friend, "Feach ar an fear as Poland. Nach bhfuil se go halainn? Is maith liom sleep leis him." The friend replies, "Ar aghaidh leat," and they're surprised to find they speak Irish after all.
This underground revival is happening all over the country. If you don't brush up on your Irish, you could quickly end up feeling left out as your friends natter among themselves. It doesn't matter that they are only saying things like, "Look at Sean", "Where is Rusty?" and, "I like my green bike." You're still going to think they're talking about you. Particularly if you're called Sean or Rusty.
It isn't just the native Irish who are speaking the language. An Angolan taxi driver told me the other day how delighted he is to hear his young daughter using the Irish she learned at school. Recent arrivals don't have Peig-induced hatred for the Irish language. Unlike the depressed post-boom locals, they still love Ireland and all things Irish. It's only a matter of time before Ros na Run gets a Chinese bartender with a Connemara accent.
So enjoy Irish as a secret language while you can, because soon the whole country will be speaking it. And you might find that the "fear as Poland" will turn to you and say, "Ar aghaidh leat," himself. Jesus, the mortification.
What's the story with careers in post-boom Ireland?
A job in the bank (it didn't matter what kind of job) used be the summit of respectability in Ireland, but of course it has now slid down somewhere below traffic warden and prostitute.
Keep away from farming. The rest of the country is slowly beginning to realise that not all of the tens of billions lost on property disappeared down a hole. A lot of it went to farmers. Even if you didn't benefit yourself, you'll still have to do the old farmer trick of wearing shite-stained slacks with no arse to make it look like you don't have a bob. You might even have to sell your Range Rover.
Teaching was always a good bet, but the rest of the country has somehow decided that teachers are to blame for the current debacle and you don't want everybody hating you. Worst of all, your moody teenage pupils will probably hate you even more than they hate themselves.
Steer well away from any career that you couldn't explain to your grandmother. It's all about straightforward jobs these days. If you tell people that you're a Social Networking New Media Life Coach, they'll just assume you're unemployed. It won't be long before they're right.
The law is a recession-proof option. You make a fortune doing the paperwork during the boom as all the deals are done, and then you make another fortune on the way down as cranky business partners sue the arse off each other. On top of that, you get access to the best gossip in town.
Finally, don't despair. It may be a competitive job market, and you may have no obvious talents, but as long as you're willing to act clownish and slutty on TV, you could always go for the job of being famous for being famous. Just don't try to explain it to your grandmother.

Isha Ambani's wedding in pics

The first photo of the bride and groom from the mandap are here. Stop everything and check out how beautiful Isha and Anand look together.
The brothers of the dulhan, Akash and Anant decided to go that extra mile to welcome their brother-in-law. On horses, Akash and Anant definitely stole the show.
Colour coordinated in the shades of gold, the Ambanis are all-smiles as they welcome the baraatis. On the other hand, we spotted yesteryear actress Tina Ambani arrive in an elegant off-white saree.
