Governance risks must be reduced in every charity
Governance has become a hot topic in both the corporate and charity sectors, and we need to seize the opportunity it offers to challenge and reform. From BHS to Kids Company, people are asking fundamental questions about how to make boards and leaders more effective. It has been a recurring issue every few years in the corporate sector, but something new and disorientating for charities.
The Kids Company collapse, media criticism of fundraising practices, CEO pay and various damning Parliamentary and Charity Commission reports, have been a shock to the self-belief of the charity sector. Yet one consistent theme has been that the buck stops with trustees, and that charity boards, and the chairs that lead them, need to strengthen their leadership and governance.
Various remedies have been floated. Some say the model is broken and others argue for unitary boards and paying trustees. ICSA: The Governance Institute has argued for larger charities to appoint paid governance professionals to strengthen board support.
The Association of Chairs, which supports charity and other not-for-profit chairs, has been addressing this by conducting substantial research with a sample of 360 in a chairing role, including 140 of its members. The findings reveal a significant gap in governance investment and support – this is surprising given that the research sample is drawn from a database of charity chairs who have actively connected with the Association of Chairs and who are therefore expected to be more engaged in governance.
The level of commitment is high – 54% of chairs in the sample spend four days or more per month on their role. Good governance is a high priority for them, but this is not matched by the support they are offered or seek out: 46% of boards have no budget for board development; only 19% have a formal allocated budget; and the balance address development on a case by case basis. More surprisingly only 34% of chairs have had an induction, the most basic form of support.
The main support chairs receive is access to publications, conferences and events, and admin support. Apart from publications, fewer than 50% have accessed any kind of development support in the last 12 months. Many restrict themselves to free sources of support. 37% have accessed training – two-thirds are funded by the organisation, a third paid for by themselves. 16% have had mentoring or coaching.
Chairs need more support both for themselves and to help create a culture of good governance in the charities they lead. This lack of investment in training and development creates a real governance risk. Neglected processes, poor procedures and taking short cuts at board level are substantial concerns.
Governance risk increases all other risks, from financial sustainability to reputation. Governance is a recurring theme in the Charity Commission's yearly report, 'Tackling abuse and mismanagement'. A culture of casual compliance risks diminishing the ability or willingness of the board to challenge effectively.
Some charities and commentators have dismissed the last year of scandals as isolated incidents. Although denial is understandable, this kind of complacency is unacceptable. It is easy to assume that such problems will not or cannot happen to the charities we are involved in ourselves, but in practice major problems can start with neglecting relatively minor aspects of governance.
Members of the Association do not yearn for revolutionary change, but they do want help to be better at their job and follow the rules and guidance already there. Governance is not a chore; it is essential to the stability and sustainability of every charity. You cannot have excellent front line services without robust support services – and that needs time, attention, focus and investment.
Governance is being neglected partly because, as we have seen in the corporate sector, standards evolve often only as a result of a specific crisis or failure. This is why we must build on the lessons of the charity scandals of the last year – never let a good crisis go to waste, as we often hear.
It does not seem to be a supply problem: there is a lot of guidance, from the Charity Commission, the umbrella bodies and the Good Governance Code, and there are also countless conferences and training courses. But as our research shows, there is less take up than there could be. What it may need is a more of a nudge – for example, simply setting a formal budget for board training and development, however modest, and ensuring the board seeks out relevant training at manageable costs. Providers of training, guidance and support could also do more to make their services known and accessible.
Yet reducing governance risk is not just about reading guidance and attending the training, it is about applying the lessons in every day trustee board practice. There is a crucial role here for chairs, who need to champion governance and not let good practice wither by neglect no matter how pressing the cause, or urgent the fundraising challenges are. There is a potential role here for a trustee to be identified as the governance champion, or a sub-committee in larger charities.
Governance risk can be reduced significantly simply by addressing some of the basic 'must dos': ensure the governing document is up-to-date and fit for purpose; make sure there are clear terms of office and they are adhered to – institutional knowledge should be balanced by fresh eyes; ensure board papers work and outline clearly what is going on, especially financially; make sure the reserves review is not a tick-box exercise.
Above all, charities need to address their resistance to board appraisals, an issue we hear about regularly. Boards fear personal criticism and challenge, and as a result miss the opportunity to ask: how are we doing and how could we do better? If trustees are not given the formal opportunity to review their performance, then corrosive issues risk lying dormant and festering.
Process is not enough. The biggest impact on good governance is the culture of the board. The board should believe that good governance really matters. The chair should lead on this, ensuring trustees are well informed and motivated. Governance is not why most people become trustees – it is for the cause and helping beneficiaries.
Yet in practice governance is their primary duty as trustees, so more attention should be given to engaging trustees not just with process but the organisation as a whole. Visiting projects, being involved in effective sub-committees and working groups, and having ad hoc opportunities to use their expertise, all build trustee commitment.
Joining the board is at least a social contract for trustees, with obligations in law and practice.
But it also comes with rights, and those rights should include access to training and support. A member of the Association has a Contract of Commitment at his charity, which sets out the duties of trustees. It says clearly what is expected of them, but also offers a lot back: access to the management team, training and mentoring. Trustees are asked to sign it and it is regularly reviewed. This may seem too much for a volunteer role, but when, as we hear from time to time, some trustees rarely turn up to board meetings, and others turn up with their file of papers unopened and thus unread, then some form of formalisation seems useful.
This research has brought together concerns about the sector's reputation, credibility and trust, and the personal desire of chairs to ensure good governance, especially in recruiting trustees, generating a competent board and managing it effectively.
The Association of Chairs has identified some steps chairs and boards should take to improve their governance. A formal budget for board support should be created for training and development, and more access to expert governance advice. There is a willingness to address the topic and those who engage with the Association say they have benefited. Yet practice is patchy and inconsistent, in spite of all the advice and support available.
With all the other direct pressures on charities – to stay solvent, meet increasing demand and maximise impact – governance risk should not be the issue it seems to be. The rules and guidance are there, it just needs a culture of commitment to address them. It is time to make a step change in governance: to acknowledge its importance and the risks of failing to act; to invest time and resources – rather than expecting these problems to resolve themselves; and to act differently, by doing our part individually and organisationally.
The survey results can be downloaded from the Association of Chairs' website.

In a round-robin match in the Open Trials, you have to decide whether or not to enter the auction over an opening bid with a good balanced hand.
E-W vul, North deals. As West, you hold:
Your call?
You have the strength for a 1NT overcall, but it isn't too attractive. Partner is a passed hand, so if you pass you aren't likely to be missing a game. 1NT could go for a number if North has the balance of strength, and you don't have a place to run. Passing looks better. This is not a trap pass, although you do have a strong holding in the opening bid suit. You simply figure to get a better result by passing then by bidding.
You pass. The bidding continues:
Double would tend to be penalty oriented, likely short in spades.
Your call?
While you might be defeating 1NT, the odds are against doubling. At best you could collect 300. On the downside, they could be making, perhaps with an overtrick, and perhaps redoubled. Partner is a passed hand, so it is very unlikely that you have a game score which needs to be protected. Going quietly looks like the percentage action.
You pass, ending the auction.
Your lead. Attitude leads. UDCA signals. No Smith.
While anything could be right, it is hard to make a case for other than a club lead. Declarer might not have a 4-card club suit, and even if he does your clubs are good enough to establish if partner has some help. A club lead might cost a trick, but so might leading any other suit.
You lead the ♣4.
Partner plays the ♣9, and declarer wins the ♣10. At trick 2, declarer leads the ♠3. You play small, and dummy wins the king as partner plays the ♠5. Declarer leads the ♥2 to his ace, partner playing the ♥4. Declarer now leads the ♠6. Do you win or duck?
Even the most die-hard count haters will agree that partner's first spade play is a count card. His ♠5 is the smallest outstanding spade. Since you play UDCA, he started with a doubleton. It would be right to win the ace of spades only if declarer might have 7 top tricks if you duck and the defense has a chance to cash 7 winners. That clearly isn't the case here.
You play the jack of spades. Dummy wins the queen, partner playing the ♠7. Declarer now leads the ♥10 and lets it ride to your jack, partner playing the ♥5 and declarer the ♥6. What do you play?
What do you know about the hand? Declarer definitely started with 3 spades, and he must have 4 hearts to be attacking the heart suit. He could be 2-4 or 3-3 in the minors, both of which would be consistent with what has happened so far.
Declarer is marked with KQ of clubs from trick 1. He must have AK of hearts for his heart plays and overall line of play to make sense. That marks the ace of diamonds in partner's hand.
One club lead through will establish your club suit. This will give the defense 1 spade, 1 heart, 2 diamonds, and 3 clubs. Meanwhile, declarer will have only 2 spades, 2 hearts, and 2 clubs. Even if partner doesn't have the 8 of hearts, declarer will be unable to get to dummy for a heart finesse.
All you have to do is lead a diamond to partner's ace. There is no need to cash your ace of spades and force partner to make a discard. Leading a small diamond is right. The jack could confuse partner. Leading king and a diamond would be wrong, as that would set up a diamond trick for declarer if declarer has 3 diamonds.
You lead the ♦6. The ♦10 is played from dummy. Partner plays the ♦3, and declarer the ♦2. Declarer now leads a club to his king. How do you defend?
Clearly you must win this trick, as declarer would have 7 tricks with 2 spades, 2 hearts, 1 diamond, and 2 clubs. Also, it is necessary to cash out.
You know the correct defense is to cash your ace of spades and run as many diamonds as possible. Partner might not see the position. In order to make it clear to partner what to discard on the ace of spades, you should cash your king of diamonds before the ace of spades. Partner will then know to hold all of his diamonds.
You cash the king of diamonds, and then the ace of spades. Partner discards a heart. You lead a diamond, and partner runs his diamonds for down 1. The full hand is:
How was declarer's line of play?
Declarer had to go after spades as his main source of tricks, but he could have handled his spots better. The first two spades out of his hand should have been the ♠6 and the ♠10, concealing the ♠3. This might have made it more difficult for West to get a count on the spade suit. The general false-carding principle is to signal honestly, using the defender's carding methods. Declarer has an odd number of spades, so he should be playing his high spades, showing upside-down count. On this hand East's ♠5 would have been readable, but on other layouts it might have been more difficult to read.
When declarer crossed to his hand with a heart, he should have played the king, not the ace. By playing the ace he might as well be waving the king in front of the defenders, since they know he wouldn't be playing a heart to the ace unless he has the king. By playing the king first, declarer conceals the location of the ace.
After the second spade won, declarer would have given himself a better chance by continuing spades. He really has no chance if the jack of diamonds is offside. If it is onside the defense will not be able to establish diamond tricks, and will be hard-pressed to prevent declarer from taking 7 tricks.
Was East correct to duck the diamond shift?
At the point West shifted to the diamond, East could not read the diamond position. Regardless of what was going on, it couldn't hurt to duck. If West has KJ6 of diamonds, ducking will permit taking 4 diamond tricks. If declarer has the diamond honors, there is no rush to win the ace and it might be important to retain it in order to keep declarer off dummy.
Do you like the N-S auction?
There was no reason for South to rebid 1NT. N-S don't have a game with North being a passed hand, and 1♠ figures to be at least as good a contract as 1NT. 1♠ and 1NT contract for the same number of tricks, so it figures to be better to play in a trump suit where you have the majority of trumps than to play with no trump suit. In addition, passing tells partner you have exactly three spades, which will help his later competitive decisions.
Bidding is usually better than passing when you have something to say. On this hand West didn't really have anything to say even though he had a good hand, so passing was fine.

Hi. My name is Aurelia, my name in a past life in Ancient Rome. My specialty is Reincarnation. Here is what i know about Barack Obama:
He was Augustus Caesar. Truth. He was Ancient Rome's handpicked successor to Julius Caesar (pronounced Kayzer). Obama is right in character and appearance with whom he was before, a superhuman leader who arrived on the scene just in time to pull Rome out of the chaos it fell into after the famous assassination on the Ides of March. Augustus Caesar ruled Rome for 40 years.
Because of who Obama is, it is fair to predict he will win a second term. His wife Michelle was his sister, Octavia, back in Ancient Rome. She came back as his wife, which is why they look so similar. I think she is gorgeous and inspirational. Barack and Michelle are Spirit Twins (as distinguished from soul mates). This is their last time together on this plane, and both are eager to leave their legacy.

WASHINGTON. The Washington political and media merry-go-round continues its circular journey this week. So imagine our stories today as if accompanied by jolly carnival tunes blasting forth from the electronic bandbox. Today's short takes feature a viral video featuring CNN's house clown, Little Brian Stelter. We also give a negative hat tip to The Bulwark. It's a new #NeverTrump "conservative" online rag by the usual RINO suspects.
Finally, we'll touch upon a colorful political metaphor dispensed by none other than Roseanne Barr.
Mark Dice pays homage to Little Brian Stelter, as comic video goes viral
Our first anecdote today involves conservative troublemaker Mark Dice. His generally hilarious YouTube video commentaries and satires tend to pillory Democrat Socialists making psychotic breaks. But they also poke fun at the Dem Socialists' pathetic media lackeys as well.
No one gets more attention from Mark than CNN's inadvertent resident comedian, a shameless shill known to Dice as "Little Brian Stelter." That's largely due to Stelter's relatively high-pitched broadcast voice, which, no matter how hard he tries, is entirely lacking in gravitas.
Dice takes selected cuts from Stelter's madder video commentaries and lip-synchs his own dead-on, if slightly exaggerated, version of Stelter's unusual voice. He's recently paid homage to Stelter's voice and views in the following YouTube video, which appears to be going viral. We offer the finest moments of Little Brian Stelter to you here if you haven't encountered it already. Feel free to LOL.
A brand new old epithet for AOC, via Roseanne Barr
Enough, for now, of Little Brian Stelter.
Betsy Rothstein, a longtime purveyor of mostly inside-the-Beltway gossip eventually ended up, for some reason, as the local gossipmonger for what she calls The Mirror. Which for some strange reason appears under the banner of The Daily Caller, aka, "The DC." Strange because Rothstein is not and never has been known as a conservative. That said, via her alter-ego, The Mirror, she happily takes ecumenical pot-shots at nearly any fool living in Washington, which is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. But she'll occasionally take a swipe at Big Apple and Hollywood types as well
Which gets us to her reference to deposed TV comedienne (can we still use that word?) Roseanne Barr. In a classic intemperate moment, the exasperated, sort-of-conservative Barr called New York sort-of-Congress-individual Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a "Bug-eyed bitch."
"As first reported by the New York Post's Page Six, Roseanne also pointed out that AOC looks like a real estate agent, which happens to ring true. 'She got them realtor eyes,' Roseanne says, bugging her brown eyes out."
Insulting? Yes. But so is AOC's invincible stupidity. This chief character flaw becomes incredibly obvious every time she opens her mouth. She is, in fact, much worse and far more dangerous than Little Brian Stelter. And yes, thos big brown eyes bugging out. Reminds us of the late, great Marty Feldman.
AOC Post-script
Rothstein isn't quite done with Roseanne or AOC, however, giving us this juicy little coda before she moves on.
"AOC can't stand attention. It scares her (wink! wink!). She also has a mixed relationship [sic] with the media — in December she had quite a beef with Politico. While Roseanne may not like her, she has found a fan in ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner's ex-sexting partner Sydney Elaine Leathers. (RELATED: Weiner Mistress Stands Up For AOC.)"
Is The Bulwark really just more #NeverTrump Bull Work?
Answer: Choose item B above.
We meant to comment a few weeks back on the (re-) founding of a "new" online "conservative" magazine that calls itself The Bulwark. As in being the "bulwark" against the allegedly faux-conservative disease-carrying organism named Donald John Trump. As per its subtitle, "Conservatism Conserved."
Well, we're remedying our absence of commentary at that time in this column. And we'll have more to say later on.
The Bulwark is the brainchild of that incorrigible fake Republican, Bill Kristol. His once respectable but eventually brain-dead #NeverTrump dead-tree periodical The Weekly Standard died an ugly death some time back by gradually alienating and insulting its already dwindling subscriber list.
Kristol and his pals, having driven one periodical to an early death, apparently can't give up the ship. So they're now relying on The Bulwark to return them to a right-wing respectability they no longer deserve, if indeed they ever deserved it in the first place. They provide elegant, seemingly sensible prose. They write well. But it's all self-righteous claptrap. In the end, they're just clownish clones of Little Brian Stelter, but with better suits and a better command of the English language.
Their absolute, destructive blindness stubbornly fails to understand that President Trump has essentially saved the Republican Party from utter irrelevance. But if and only if Republicans will take the cue and grab the surprise lifeline they've been offered. To do so, the Stupid Party must dump their twin "virtues" of self-righteousness and a desire to lose elections. Instead, they need to embrace the substantial working-class constituencies that Democrats finally decided to abandon under Comrade Obama. (Because white males.) Trump's discovery of this substantial constituency is precisely what led to his upset victory in 2016. Yes, many of those who voted for Trump are former Reagan Democrats, real Americans who love this country despite its various problems. Kristol & Co. still fail to see this. So does much of this worn-out party.
Kristol et. al. have a special place in Dante's Hell
Kristol & Co. remind me of the fate of the fortune-tellers in Dante's Hell. One scholar nicely defines the outcome.
"Dante and Virgil encounter fortune-tellers who must walk forward with their heads on backward, unable to see what is ahead, because they tried to see the future through forbidden means."
But, as in the Dantesque description above, Kristol et. al. are all members of a gang of Fake Fortunetellers. And yet they persist in doing this, even though they were long ago discredited. If you think we're being unfair, take a look at the haughty concluding philippic penned by The Bulwark's editor, Charlie Sykes, on the site's "About Us" page.
"As much of the Right descends into sophism and trollery, we will be a forum for rational, principled, fact-based conservative commentary.
"With the recent closing of The Weekly Standard, we think it is more important than ever to provide a voice for non-Trumpian conservatives. There are writers, academics, politicians, and thinkers who remain focused on protecting democratic ideals as well as developing the policy ideas of the future. Such voices are sprinkled across think tanks, academia, advocacy organizations, and media outlets. The Bulwark will continue to be a point of convergence and amplification for these voices, but will also be the home for original reporting, analysis and commentary."
Bull Work: What an agglomeration of flatulent verbiage.
Make no mistake about that puffed up screed above. Kristol, et. al., quite simply, are pissed because they were way wrong on Election 2018 and see no other redemption than trashing the man who exposed them as paper tigers and fake, RINO Republicans. They're just trying to make their snarky lack of party loyalty into something respectible.
That's a pretty poor reason to pick up where The Weekly Standard left off. What Kristol and his pals are doing is exactly what caused The Weekly Standard to fail. One failure will soon lead to another. Either Kristol's latest effort at political redemption will fail once again as it deserves to. Or, combined with all the other forces of Socialism, they'll help topple Trump in 2020, ultimately leading to an unbreakable string of Democrat Socialist successes.
And pretty soon, America will be in ruins. And Kristol et. al. will have no influence at all.
Which is why we plan to reference his new publication in the future as The Bull Work. Because bull work is what this is.
So what do you think, Little Brian Stelter?

KARACHI - The provincial cabinet Monday decided to discard over 100-year-old punitive Prison Act of 1894 and approved Sindh Prison & Correction Act-2019 to be tabled in the provincial assembly for approval.
The decision was taken in the provincial cabinet meeting that was held under the chairmanship of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah at New Sindh Secretariat and was attended by Chief Secretary Mumtaz Shah, all provincial ministers, advisors, special assistants and concerned secretaries.
Prisons & Correction Act-219
Home Secretary Kazi Kabir briefing the cabinet about the issues in the previous Prisons Acts of 1894 said it was primarily punitive in nature and it lacked certain aspects such as reformation, adequate security, clarity on policy and management and also lacked core focus on development of prison human resources.
Minister Prison Syed Nasir Shah spelling out silent features of the draft act said it has 14 chapters and 84 sections in which purpose of prison system, basic principles and definitions have been given clearly. He added that the new Act (Chapter 2) deals with declaration of prisons, sub-jail, judicial lock-ups. Chapter -3 deals with establishment of Prison policy board and management committees, Chapter-4 contains duties of IG and other officers and with establishment of Prison Training Academy, recruitment, transfer, posting, discipline and performance and powers of officers and the medical officer. Chapter -6 contains treatment of lawful custody under which UTPs to be treated differently from convicted prisons. Admission process, rights of inmates, security classification- high, medium and low, introduction of biometric, rights to lawyer and legal aid and undergo on health examination on admission are given in this chapter. Chapter 6: It segregates prisoners on the basis of gender, age, conviction status, danger, condemned and with contagious diseases etc. It also has the clauses of adequate diet provision- needs of the patients, pregnant women, children and religious requirements, entitlement of one-hour daily exercise. Chapter-7 is about transfer of prisoners - inter-provincial, international, extradition etc, Chapter-8 about discharge or early discharge of a prisoner for certain reasons of incapacitated, incurable, infirm, above age of 65 and good conduct rules. Chapter 9 deals with prisoners' wellbeing rehabilitation such as non-discrimination, meaningful remunerated employment opportunities, minimum one visit for one hour per month, education, vocational training, health facilities and social and psychological services. Chapter-10 deals with visits and correspondence such as prisoners can send or receive letters, visits – supervised, audio or video recorded etc. Chapter 11 has the provisions of board of visitors, prisoners oversight committee visits, inspections, testing of food and inquiries into complaints.
The cabinet discussed the draft and approved it and also formed a committee under Minister Prison Syed Nasir Shah, Minister Energy Imtiaz Shaikh and Advisor Law to give final touch ups to the draft and send it to the assembly within seven days.
Sindh Evacuee Trust Act
Minister for Minorities Affairs Hari Ram Kishori told the cabinet that the concurrent legislative list of the constitution was omitted by the Constitution (18thAmendment) Act 2010. The subject of the Evacuee Trust Property thus became a provincial subject.
The Evacuee Trust Properties which were previously being managed by the Evacuee Trust Property Board now need to be made managed by the provincial government through legislation. Therefore, a draft law Sindh Evacuee Trust Property Board and Enactment of Sindh Evacuee Trust Properties (Management & Disposal) Act was introduced.
The cabinet approved the draft law and formed a committee under Provincial Minister Hari Ram with members Education Minister Syed Sardar Shah, Special Assistant to CM Dr Khatu Mal as its members. The committee will improve the draft law and refer to the assembly.
Amendment in Local Govt Act
The cabinet approved the amendment in Section-26 of the Sindh Local Government Act-2013 regarding resignation of office bearers. Under Sub section (1) and (2) of Section -26 of Sindh Local Government Act-2013, it has been provided that a mayor, deputy mayor, chairman, vice chairman or member of council may resign from his or her office by tendering resignation in writing under his or her hand to the council and the council shall forward the copies of the resignation to the government which shall be sent to the Election Commission for notification.
The meeting was told that it has been experienced that the council concerned while receiving resignation from an office bearer/ member was reluctant to process it further. The cabinet after discussion approved to substitute the word 'council' with 'Administrative Department.' Now the office bearers/members would send their resignation to the local government instead of sending it to the council.
The cabinet approved extension of lien period on Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs) of Rs6 billion to Sindh Nooriabad Power (SNPCL) Project upto June 30, 2020.
It may be noted that Sindh government launched SNPCL, a 100 MW gas-based power generation project on PPP mode ion which it owns 49 percent shares while the private partner owns 51 percent shares. The company is technically and commercially sound, performing and profitable entities. Among the performance indicators, salient are:
It has earned revenue of Rs6.624 billion; it has paid mark-up & principal amounting of Rs1.577 billion. The Nepra tariff standard for plant availability factor is 92 percent while it has achieved 95.36 percent. Net capacity of 100 MW capacity as per Nepra tariff standard has also been achieved. The State Bank has recognised external credit assessment Institution (ECAI) for 2018 in its report of Nov 19, 2018.
Work on power plant commenced in 2014 on the back of financial support provided by Sindh government in the form of provision of collateral to the National Bank for opening of Letter of Credit (LoC) for procurement of the plant. Despite this financial support, the SNPC has not been able to achieve financial close due to technical reasons and approached the government with the request to accord extension of lien period on PIBs of Rs6 billion and cash collateral of Rs600 million till June 2020. The cabinet approved the extension.
The Cooperative department presented an item with the request to appoint four members in Fisheremen Cooperative Society. At present, there are eight members in the society among them secretary fiancé, Secretary law, secretary fisheries department and secretary cooperative department would be removed an in their place three four others would be appointed. These members mostly cannot attend the FCS board meetings, therefore they have been removed and in their place four members would be appointed by Minister Fisheries & Livestock Mr Bari Pitafi.
The cabinet was told that the Pemra has requested the Information to nominate three members from general public as per criteria. The cabinet authorized CM Advisor on Information to nominate three members for Pemra.
A minor amendment was made in The Sindh Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority Act-2009. Under the Act Minister STEVTA happens to be the Chairman of STEVTA. After amendment as approved by the cabinet the Minister STEVTA/ Advisor/Special assistant or any person nominated by the chief minister would be the chairman of STEVTA.
The Labour department presented Occupational Safety & health Council, Sindh. Secretary labour Rasheed Solangi gave presentation to the cabinet but the cabinet due to some technical issues in the proposec council deferred it and directed the department to present it in the next meeting.
The chief minister directed Secretary University & Board to resolve the registration issue of Khairpur medical College with PMDC within next 15 days and report him. He also directed the secretary to put him up a summary for solution of other issues of the college.
The chief minister directed Chief Secretary Mumtaz Shah to ensure framing of rules of all the draft acts approved by the cabinet within next 15 days.

In particular, at one stage, I need to extract every other value from the even-lengthed list. (Currently I can do this using a bunch of split and long unpack objects, tapping every other output of the unpacks). Q1. Is there an 'easy' way to pass an n-long list L of ints (L[0], L[1], L[2], ..., L[n-1]) through some simple object which in turn outputs a new list X, half the length of L and consisting of every other value of the input list L ?

Make sure you set Vision to use IAC as a controller. To prevent a loop disable IAC as a controller in MAX. You also might have to turn "Run MIDI in backround" on in OMS.

If stretching the line a bit, please pardon this subject on the MAX list... I figured the folks on this list are more likely to have messed with the technologies I'm playing with... and it's not entirely a non-MAX question... Anyone have expertise in laserdisc or DVD use in a live performance situations? (with or without MAX?) Specifically, I'm looking to eliminate tape (we're currently using beta SP) for a 3 minute hi-res clip that plays (rear-projected on scrim, 25 feet high) during a broadway musical - a "confrontation" between the live actor and his alter-ego (on tape)... the audio is in RAM in the samplers and the music is mostly from a sequence that chases SMPTE.... We've been exploring non-linear (disk based systems) video for playback and the hardware guys are all coming up empty. Our specs require the latency of the trigger to video no more than 200ms. Yeah, instant start. SP does this fine. And the device must output SMPTE (or the smpte can be on an audio track, as long as it's in sync). I'm intrigued by DVD/laserdisc and am looking for resources and real-world stories from the battlefield. I searched the MAX documentation but didn't find references to laserdisc, although I thought I read about someone doing this.... ????? All input is appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Aug 1997 12:03:10 -0400 From: Stephen Kay Subject: ___HELP: Easy way to filter a list into every other value??___ >Is there an 'easy' way to pass an n-long > list L of ints (L[0], L[1], L[2], ..., L[n-1]) > through some simple object which in turn > outputs a new list X, half the length of L > and consisting of every other value of the > input list L ? (ie X[1], X[3], ..., X[n-1] ) > email@example.com If it's not time critical (i.e. if you have 5 ms to spare) you can use "thresh" to recombine iterated items into lists fairly easily, without knowing the exact length. To do what you want above, you could run the first list through Jame's McCartney's "listiter" with an arg of "2", which will keep slicing off 2 item chunks, then through a 2 item "unpack", and connect each outlet to a= "thresh 5", which will collect the items and at when it has received nothing for 5 ms, spit out the new lists.

However most of my subpatcher labels dont say things like that! David, perhaps you could tell us how difficult a 'make subpatcher' command would be for the imminent release of MAX4.0 :-) Is it just a day or twos work or is it a 'non trivial problem'? Coloured patch cords would be nice. Also a message to hide objects would be good. That way you could group objects together and display them in sort of layers. This woud help with debugging. Roland ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 09:45:04 +1000 From: Garth Paine Subject: Sub-patches/"stub" Peter Elsea Wrote: >Subject: subpatchers > >Both subpatchers and subroutines are best managed by including them from >the start. I agree. I plan for them from the outset. If as Tom sighted in his RANDOM example, I need to add functions, I make then as sub-patches from the start. I know this often introduces the need to make calls to other objects which are sometimes more easilly done outside the subpatch, but you can always add a send object and place this in your patch to replace the output of the objects now in the sub-patch. I probably go overboard nd make too many sub-patches which probably slows my patches down a bit, but I find it very useful to make each function as a subpatch because it allows me to move or duplicate whole areas of the patch easilly. I realise Tom's argument is not agains sub-patches perse, but perhaps as Peter points out the limitations of MAX could be partly avoided by addressing this issue from the outset. >Perhaps there should be an object called "stub". It would take two >arguments, a number and a symbol. The number would define the number of >inlets and outlets, the symbol would be the name of the planned subpatcher. >All the thing would do is pass messages directly from inlet to outlet. > >You'd use them when blocking out the top level patcher- to take a trivial >example, imagine a patcher that brought pitch data in, transposed it, and >sent it out. You may wish to get the input and output functions operational >first. You'd put a [ stub 2 transpose] between notein and noteout, test the >main parts of the patch, then make a subpatcher called transpose later. I don't quite follow this idea. Where do the objects that make up the subpatch go? How do you connect the output of the sub-patchto the output of your "stub" object?

Drones are emerging as a key technology across industries ranging from logistics to entertainment, and makers are constantly looking for ways to improve their design and battery life.
To that end, home-grown start-up EnergyNova is working with researchers from Temasek Polytechnic (TP) to develop lightweight, longer-lasting batteries for drones.
The partners were connected through Intellectual Property Intermediary (IPI) Singapore's portal. The non-profit organisation links Singapore-based companies with partners in its network of technology solution providers.
EnergyNova makes compact, lightweight hydrogen-based batteries, which when paired with a fuel cell, can be used for a wide range of applications, including powering drones.
Through IPI's portal, EnergyNova connected with researchers from TP's Clean Energy Research Centre, who had developed a proprietary hydrogen fuel cell technology that can deliver more energy than conventional systems.
EnergyNova licensed the technology from TP, and the partners are working together to bring it to market in a year's time.
"Drones are increasingly used for industrial purposes, for instance, to inspect tall buildings and power lines. Half an hour of flight time is never enough. With our solution we can achieve two or three times more than current batteries," said EnergyNova business development manager Adec Thng.
Mr Thng added that there are further opportunities for collaboration - for instance, in developing portable charging devices that can last for longer periods of time, or even developing solutions to power small golf buggies or e-scooters.
Dr Han Ming, head of fuel cell systems at TP's Clean Energy Research Centre, said the partnership also gave two TP students the opportunity to intern at EnergyNova.
"It trained our students to work in a start-up and be exposed to the process of technology development and commercialisation," he said.

Former Andy Warhol estate in Montauk in contract, listed at $85 million
Late artist Andy Warhol's former storied Montauk estate, listed for $85 million, is in contract, confirms a listing agent for the property.
"I'm very happy," said art collector Adam Lindemann, who is purchasing the oceanfront compound. Lindemann, who already owns a home in Montauk, said he plans to preserve the property and live there.
The estate is known as Eothen, Greek for "from the east," and includes a 24-acre equestrian farm with two 1920 barns as well as a house and six cottages.
Mickey Drexler, chair and chief executive of the J. Crew Group, bought the compound in 2007. Paul Brennan of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, representing Drexler in the deal, said he believes it is the highest asking price ever in Montauk.
"It's one of the most sought-after and unique sites on the East Coast," Brennan said. "It certainly sets a precedent for Montauk, if not the Hamptons."
Celebrity guests during Warhol's days included everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to John Lennon.
Lindemann bought a nearby 3.31-acre property in Montauk for $15 million in 2007.

hey there, lovely! welcome to my blog ♡
As a full time graduate student, speech instructor, and human… I don't always carve out time to sit down and craft content on here for the lovely people that stop by. However, I do blog about things that I feel are important, weighing on my heart, or common feelings or experiences that other young women (and others!) may share with me.
I write about what even a dance party or nice glass of wine can't get out of my head. These topics may range from life, style, travel, relationships, education, personal development, wellness, and everything in between. I mean, hey, it's my blog!
I'll always stay true to myself, which is why each blog is signed the same way.

On a small rise less than 20 miles south of Tbilisi, Georgia, a clutch of round, mud-brick houses rise from a green, fertile river valley. The mound is called Gadachrili Gora, and the Stone Age farmers who lived here 8,000 years ago were grape lovers: Their rough pottery is decorated with bunches of the fruit, and analysis of pollen from the site suggests the wooded hillsides nearby were once decked with grapevines.
In a paper published today in the journal PNAS, an international team of archaeologists has conclusively shown what all those grapes were for. The people living at Gadachrili Gora and a nearby village were the world's earliest known vintners—producing wine on a large scale as early as 6,000 B.C., a time when prehistoric humans were still reliant on stone and bone tools.
A Georgian vintner crushes grapes by foot in a traditional wine press known as a satsnakheli.
Excavating the overlapping circular houses at the site, the team found broken pottery, including the rounded bases of large jars, embedded in the floors of the village houses. More samples were found at Shulaveri Gora, another Stone Age village site a mile or so from Gadachrili that was partially excavated in the 1960s. (See "Ghost of the Vine" for more about the search for the roots of winemaking.)
When the samples were analysed by University of Pennsylvania archaeologist Patrick McGovern, he found tartaric acid, a chemical "fingerprint" that shows wine residues were present in fragments of pottery from both sites.
The wine grape may have originated at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia, which has more than 500 indigenous varieties.
Combined with the grape decorations on the outside of the jars, ample grape pollen in the site's fine soil, and radiocarbon dates from 5,800 B.C. to 6,000 B.C., the chemical analysis indicates the people at Gadachrili Gora were the world's earliest winemakers. (Tipplers at a Chinese site called Jiahu were making fermented beverages from a mixture of grains and wild fruit a thousand years earlier.)
Because they didn't find many grape seeds or stems preserved in the village's soil, archaeologists think the wine was made in the nearby hills, close to where the grapes were grown.
"They were pressing it in cooler environments, fermenting it, and then pouring it into smaller jugs and transporting it to the villages when it was ready to drink," says University of Toronto archaeologist Stephen Batiuk, who co-directed the joint expedition alongside archaeologist Mindia Jalabdze of the Georgian National Museum.
Winemaking has deep roots in the nation of Georgia, where a vintner pours a traditional white wine from a cup inscribed with the names of his forebears.
In later periods, winemakers used pine resin or herbs to prevent wine from spoiling or cover up unpleasant tastes, the same way modern wine producers use sulfites. McGovern's chemical analysis didn't find any such residues, suggesting that these were early winemaking experiments – and that the wine was a seasonal drink, produced and consumed before it had a chance to turn vinegary. "They don't seem to have put tree resin with it, making it the first pure wine," McGovern says. "Maybe they hadn't yet discovered that tree resins were helpful."
The evidence adds a new wrinkle to our understanding of the Neolithic, a pivotal period when humans were first learning to farm, settling down and domesticating crops and animals. The gradual process, known as the Neolithic Revolution, began around 10,000 B.C. in Anatolia, a few hundred miles west of Gadachrili.
It's increasingly clear that it didn't take long for people to turn their thoughts to alcohol: Just a few thousand years after the first wild grasses were domesticated, the people at Gadachrili had not only learned the art of fermentation but were apparently improving, breeding, and harvesting vitis vinifera, the European grape. "They're working out horticultural methods, how you transplant it, how you produce it," McGovern says. "It shows just how inventive the human species is."
Organic residues recovered from the remains of ceramic vessels such as this provide the earliest evidence of winemaking. Such large, open-mouthed pottery vessels are similar in shape to qvevris, traditional winemaking vessels still found in many Georgian cellars today.
Large, beeswax-lined qvevri are still used by Georgian winemakers, who bury the jars up to the neck and use them for generations.
Georgia, nestled in the Caucasus mountains not far from where the Neolithic Revolution began, is still wine-crazy 8,000 year later. It has more than 500 local grape varieties, a sign that people have been breeding and growing grapes here for a long time. Even in bustling downtown Tbilisi, grapevines cling to crumbling Soviet-era apartment blocks.
"The region's wine culture has deep historical roots," says David Lordkipanidze, director of the Georgian National Museum. "Large jars similar to the Neolithic vessels are still used to make wine in Georgia today."
Stanford University archaeologist Patrick Hunt says the results show that Stone Age people lived complex, rich lives, with interests and concerns we'd be familiar with today. "Wine fermentation isn't a survival necessity. It shows that human beings back then were about more than utilitarian activity," says Hunt. "There's far greater sophistication even in the transitional Neolithic than we had any clue about."
If the archaeologists and other specialists can identify the modern variety of grape closest to what was growing near the Gadachrili village, they hope to plant an experimental vineyard nearby to learn more about how prehistoric winemaking might have worked. And Batiuk says they still haven't reached the lowest, oldest layers of the site. "We might be able to push it back even further," he says. "We're filling out the story of wine, this liquid that's so pivotal to so many cultures—to western civilisation, really."

Psychotherapy or medication? The question cannot be answered in general and is actually wrong. Because often the right treatment for psychological problems is not one or the other, but the intelligent combination of both.
Is it worth waiting a long time for an appointment with a psychotherapist? This depends above all on the type and severity of the mental disorder. Current studies show: Sometimes talking is gold, sometimes psychotropic drugs can be the better alternative. Often the combination of psychotherapy and drug therapy promises the best help.
"In the end, psychotherapeutic treatment and a drug have a similar effect on the brain," explains our seasoned specialist. "In both cases, the brain is neurobiologically altered, either by chemistry or by interaction with the therapist. The only difference is the access route – and the effort: "To swallow a pill takes much less time than to make a weekly appointment with a psychotherapist.
Medicines prepare the ground
According to the expert, whether pills or conversation are the remedy of choice depends on many factors: "Different clinical pictures respond differently to psychotherapy or medication". And psychotropic drugs that calm, such as benzodiazepines, often reduce tension and insomnia in acute phases. These drugs prepare the ground for further psychotherapeutic measures. According to the expert, another criterion is the severity of the disease. "Roughly speaking, the more severe the disease, the more likely it is to be treated with medication. And often the combination of medication and psychotherapy works particularly well.
No differences in efficacy
Due to the different methods used in psychotherapy research and drug research, however, indirect comparisons are problematic. In addition: In the few studies in which both therapy methods were directly compared, no differences in efficacy were found. "We have only investigated therapies that comply with the guidelines," explains Maximilian Huhn. "However, there are many new methods in the field of psychotherapy that certainly also have their qualities. But there is a lack of data to be able to assess how effective they are in comparison with older established methods such as behavioural therapy".
Our colleagues were able to identify scientifically significant differences in only a few of the 21 clinical pictures examined: In schizophrenia, drug therapy was superior to psychotherapy in a direct comparison, but the study found that the combination of drugs with cognitive behavior therapy is even better than swallowing pills alone. Combination therapy is also best for depression, social phobia and panic disorders. The same applies to eating addiction (bulimia), where a direct comparison showed advantages for psychotherapy.
Combination of psychotherapy and drug therapy
US researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville have investigated which patients would benefit from additional behavioural therapy for depressives: In the case of severe depression with pronounced symptoms, the combination of psychotherapy and drug therapy is superior to taking antidepressants alone, they concluded.
They had treated around 450 patients for a maximum of three years – half of the study participants received only medication, the other half additionally received cognitive behavioural therapy. In patients with mild depression, the scientists found no significant differences. Chronically ill patients also do not seem to benefit from additional behavioural therapy.
The time factor is also decisive for effective therapy: "The longer you wait and carry the depression around with you, the more difficult it becomes," says Maximilian Huhn. "If you're in a bad mood for a day or two, it's certainly not depression. But if it lasts longer, you should get help."
