Thanks to the Green Party of England and Wales, and the Scottish Green Party, a Citizen’s Income, a.k.a. a Basic Income, is now on the political agenda for the general election on 7th May 2015 in the U.K. This has expanded British media coverage on the topic dramatically.
An ITV opinion poll focused on Green Party includes a Citizen Income as one of 8 ‘possible future Government policies’ in its questionnaire. The poll shows: Support 36%; Oppose 40%; Don’t Know 23%. The ‘Don’t Know’ rate for a Citizen Income (23%) is lower than that of the following 4 policies: ‘Deliberately trying to reduce the size of the British economy in order to reduce the consumption of natural resources’ (37%), ‘Restricting the development of new supermarkets’ (26%), ‘Restricting the building of new football stadiums’ (33%), and ‘Seeking ways of reducing the size of the human population’ (28%). This suggests that people have a clearer opinion about a Citizen’s Income than the other 4 Greens’ polices listed above, regardless of whether that opinion is positive or negative.
So far so good. The Media reports the idea, and people have opinions about it. However, except a few voices its coverage either in the Media or anywhere else seldom touches on the fact that it has long been a demand of feminist activists in the U.K. It seems that even many feminists collectively have forgotten this historical fact. So let me briefly reclaim it.
In April 1977 at the 9th National Women’s Liberation Conference held in London, a resolution which asked the whole of the British Women’s Liberation movement to endorse a Guaranteed Minimum Income was passed with majority vote. Around 2.500-3,000 women were in attendance.
The resolution was raised by women from Claimants Unions, and by ‘a Guaranteed Minimum Income’ they meant an unconditional basic income, i.e. a Citizen’s Income. They have demanded and campaigned for it since 1970.
Who were these women? Why did they demand a Citizen’s Income? Julia Mainwaring, one of those who spoke for the resolution at the conference, recalls that it ‘came to us from personal experience, [from experiences of] all of us.’ She was born and grew up in a small mining village in Wales, where almost all of the adults in the village were unemployed. She moved to Birmingham and with several other people she founded the first ‘Claimants Union’ in 1968. They defined it as ‘trade union of assistance claimants’. Within a year more than 150 people had joined this union, and in a few years around 90 Claimants Unions were formed in many cities and towns across the U.K. Mainwaring herself moved to London. Until the early 1970s, council housing in London, provided either by the GLC or by the local borough, didn’t allow the name of legally married women to be entered into a rent book which could only be held in the husband’s name. Mainwaring challenged this in court and won her case. (Photo 1 shows a recent picture of Mainwaring with a photo of her on the day she won the case.)
Not only Mainwaring, but also many of the women in Claimants Unions came from a Working Class background and many were single mothers. They were regularly harassed by welfare officers, referred to as ‘sex snoopers’, who spied on them and conducted spot checks late at night. If a claimants woman had any sexual relationship with a man, it was assumed they should be supported by him. Sometimes just friendship for example, a male neighbour coming into the house to help fix a tap or a bulb would be assumed to be a partner/boyfriend; the next week her benefit would be suspended. The women didn’t take this personally, rather they detected the structural and institutionalised sexism behind. In order to end this, they formulated the idea of a Citizen’s Income, where no means test was involved so that no spies and no humiliation were needed.
The same sexism still continues, if its brutality has slightly decreased since 1970s. If you don’t detect anything wrong after watching this govermental video; you share the same sexist assumption with DWP that if a woman accommodates her boyfriend and irons his cloths, she must be financially supported by him.
So it seems to me the Claimants Union women’s struggle against institutionalised sexism and their feminist rationale for a Citizen’s Income is still relevant to contemporary progressive politics in the U.K. However, strangely enough, both the literature on feminism and on a citizen’s income in this country have been silent about this feminist struggle and its demand. Why has this feminist demand which was officially and democratically endorsed as one of demands of the British Women’s Liberation movement erased from the collective memory of British feminists?
I restrict myself by not speculating about the reason here. Instead let me briefly juxtapose claimants women’s own voices with the representations of them in a Women’s Liberation poster and Spare Rib articles. Issue no. 4 of Spare Rib (1972) showed a photo of claimants in protest along with text which explained the detail of the protest (The left of Photo 2). The same photo was reused for a poster for International Women’s Day in 1973, but its detail had been edited (The right of Photo 2); Men were deleted. A slogan on the placard carried by a woman was changed from “End Cohabitation Rule” to “Equal Pay” and some other demands. The name of organisation on the placard was changed from “Claimants Union” to “Women’s Liberation Workshop.” I imagine there was no sinister motive for this editing. (But it would misguide a younger generation of feminist historians.)
Many claimants women joined the protest in London at the International Women’s Day 1973. Lyn Boyd and Rosemary Robson, both from Newcastle Claimants Union were arrested when they and others took action to protest against the government’s plan to abolish Family Allowance and to replace it by Tax Credit. (Photo 3: Robson on the left; Boyd on the right. ) Family Allowance was paid to women, but Tax Credit was supposed to be paid to men. The claimants women thought a Citizen’s Income was a necessary condition for the financial independence of women (which was the ‘fifth demand’ of the British Women’s Liberation Movement) and defending and expanding Family Allowance was a first step toward it.
Boyd was born in a mining community in North Durham. She described Claimants Union activity as empowering themselves ‘to be knowledgeable enough to stand up for yourself and fight for your rights on a basis of equals not “cap in hand”.’ Through her involvement with the Claimants Union, she joined the Women’s Liberation Movement. Boyd, Robson and other claimants women hitchhiked to the Women’s Liberation conferences in London and elsewhere. Boyd recalls that they had sought ‘a better way of living and cooperating – the claimants union and women’s rights movementis a manifestation of that way of being’.
Five years later, Issue no. 58 of Spare Rib (1977) reported that a resolution demanding a “Guaranteed Minimum Income” was passed at a National Women’s Liberation Conference. Strangely, while the article didn’t tell readers anything about what a “Guaranteed Minimum Income” is, who raised the resolution and why they did so, but instead, it reported who was against it and the reasons for their opposition.
What do Mainwaring, Boyd, Robson and the other women in the Claimants Unions think are the reasons for the collective amnesia in feminism and in progressive politics more generally? And how did their thoughts and actions relate to feminism more generally speaking? Some of their voices are recorded in the following article: ‘A Feminist Way to Unconditional Basic Income: Claimants Unions and Women’s Liberation Movements in 1970s Britain’, Basic Income Studies, 9(1-2), 2014, pp.1-24. An earlier and longer version of it can be read here.
A Citizen’s Income is needed to end one of institutionalised forms of sexism today. That I have learnt from these women.

Cait Reilly insists her enforced work experience of stacking shelves breached her human rights.
The 23-year-old had undertaken the unpaid job under “menace of penalty” and says the work at Poundland did not contribute to the public interest in any way as the chain was a successful private company.
Miss Reilly, who graduated in geology from Birmingham University in 2010, claimed job seeker's allowance from 2011 after failing to find work.
Her lawyers claimed at the High Court, in London yesterday, that she was pulled away from her “important museum-based voluntary work” and forced to take the “unpaid menial work” at the shop, near her home in Kings Heath, Birmingham, or risk losing benefits.
As she arrived at court, Miss Reilly said: “Forcing people to work for free does nothing to tackle causes of long-term unemployment.”

Jobless Jamieson Wilson, 40, from the Midlands, is also challenging the legality of another scheme, having been required to do six months of unpaid work cleaning furniture in the DWP’s community action programme.
Both cases seek the quashing of Department for Work and Pensions regulations by which the schemes were set up and declarations their human rights have been violated.
The DWP said: “We will be contesting these cases vigorously.”
The two cases continue.

Wildlife conservation efforts are returning the cheetah to India after seven decades of it being extinct in the country. Eight cheetahs, currently held at the quarantine facility of a national park, will soon be released into the greater sprawl. The hope is that the cheetah will reestablish its population there. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at the time of their release with high hopes that they will thrive.
Cheetahs, like most endangered species, are struggling in today’s environment. They have been extinct in India since 1952, thanks to poaching and loss of habitat. In order to help boost the population and hopefully expand their numbers, African cheetahs have been imported. Returning the cheetahs to an environment in which they might succeed has the advantage of increasing tourism and efforts to protect the grasslands. This could mean good things!
“India’s grasslands and forests could be ‘appropriate’ homes for the big cat…to save Cheetahs from extinction, we need to create permanent places for them on Earth,” Laurie Marker of the Cheetah Conservation Fund said. This is needed now more than ever.
Cheetahs Already Have It Rough Enough
On top of the issues created by human encroachment, cheetahs are very sensitive and nervous animals. Many require emotional support animals when in captivity. Anxiety and stress levels are enough to keep the big cats from interacting and breeding properly in the wild. And due to a population collapse roughly 12,000 years ago, the cheetah has an unfortunate lack of genetic diversity. This decline caused an unfortunate amount of inbreeding. This culminates in genetic weakness, making the big cat prone to disease, defects, and poor sperm quality. It’s that much harder for them to keep their numbers up.
The quarantined big cats are imported from South Africa, where the population has seen a significant rise. This has resulted in a lack of space. While the hope is these animals will find a place in the ecosystem, others are more concerned.
Reintroducing the cheetah has been met with pushback. There’s a delicate balance that needs to be struck when introducing a new species to a new environment. The success of these efforts will depend on how well it’s taken care of. Many are concerned it’s a bad move. An increasing tiger population in India has caused human-animal clashing. Introducing the Cheetah may have unforeseen consequences for smaller predators already established.
A Big Brother Approach
These efforts are being made with the intention of close monitoring. The cheetahs will be collared in order to track them once they’re cleared from quarantine. But they’ll ultimately be on their own. What this hopes to do is help find a space for cheetahs where their numbers can thrive.
India’s strict conservation laws have helped to preserve their big cat populations, so there’s a cautious optimism in the awareness of the pros and cons of this project. With these same efforts applied to the cheetah, many are hopeful that the fast feline will see a comfortable rise in numbers and health.
Dr. Adrian Tordiff, a South African veterinary wildlife specialist associated with the project, voices the feelings of many wildlife conservationists desperate to preserve the falling populations on our planet. “We cannot sit back and hope that species like the cheetah will survive on their own without our help.”
There are less than 7000 Cheetahs left in the world, inhabiting barely 9% of their original habitat range.

Tips for Managing ADHD Over the Summer
June 05, 2022
Managing your child’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be challenging, especially when your child’s normal school routine is absent. By following a few tips, you can enjoy smoother sailing ahead.
“Summer break can be a positive time for you and your child with some planning to maintaining structure,” says Elizabeth Diekroger, MD, Developmental Behavioral Medicine specialist at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s and Assistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. She offers this advice:
- Set a summer routine. Even though they aren’t in the classroom, children with ADHD still need structure during their day. A regular wake-up and bedtime schedule is especially helpful.
- Get active. Keep the amount of time your child watches TV or uses a computer to a minimum. Instead, encourage them to get active by playing outside or with friends. Physical activity can help keep ADHD symptoms in check.
- Keep choices simple. Children with many options may feel overwhelmed or overstimulated. If your child is choosing between activities or toys offer a choice between two.
- Maintain school skills. Help maintain your child’s academic skills over the summer. Set aside a regular time to read, write or practice math. Keep activities short or break them into small sections to help your child maintain focus. Incorporating your child’s interests can help make this fun – you can do math with sports scores or read about favorite players.
Dr. Diekroger also notes that paying attention to your child’s positive behavior may help them stay motivated, just like when your child is in school. “Kids with ADHD benefit from immediate feedback. For some kids, a sticker chart or token board can be a helpful way to encourage desired behaviors,” she says. “Your praise and attention are also great ways to reward your child.”
When it’s time to head back to school, make sure your child has their supplies in order. Check that they have what they need, then keep backpacks and other materials in their designated spots.
Learn more about the resources available at at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital's Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and Psychology. if your child has ongoing patterns of difficulty paying attention, being overactive, or acting without thinking that significantly interfere with home or school life, our experts are here to help.

The result of ‘Dharana’ and ‘Dhyana’ is Samadhi’. ‘Samadhi’ is an altered state of consciousness wherein a person who meditates upon whatever he is meditating merges with the object of meditation. There is no meditator and that which is meditated upon. Everything becomes one.

Alejandro González Iñárritu is one of Mexico's best known cinematic exports, there are no two ways about that. He is known for making dark, gritty and excellently shot films. He remains the first Mexican director to be nominated for the Academy Award, he was also the first Mexican to win a Cannes Film Festival director prize. Over the years, he has made some terrific movies. Today is the legendary director's 56th birthday. Let's take a look at some of his best movies.
Iñárritu’s first feature-length was the amazing Amores Perros, which released in 2000. This is a must-see of Mexican cinema in general. Iñárritu has shown the harsh reality of Mexico in Amores Perros, which is the first film in his Trilogy of Death.
21 Grams is the second film in Alejandro's Trilogy of Death. Unlike Amores Perros, this one is an american, English-language production. It's impossible not to be glued until the finale while watching this film, which released in 2003. Mulan Song Royal Brave True Out! Christina Aguilera's Number Is Spirited And Moving.
Babel is undoubtedly Alejandro's best work so far. The fact that he won the best director award at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for this one, says it all. What's really interesting is that the events in this film take place in four countries - Mexico, Morocco, Japan and the US.
Birdman is Iñárritu’s best critically rated film that stars Emma Stone, and Michael Keaton. While Emma and Michael have given terrific performances, the real sell of birdman is its award-winning cinematography. We wish Alejandro a very happy birthday.

Sacramento police make first arrest in mass shooting that left six dead, a dozen wounded
( Fox )
The Sacramento Police Department made the first arrest on Monday related to a mass shooting in the early hours of Sunday morning that left six people dead and 12 others wounded.
Dandrae Martin, 26, was arrested on Monday morning and is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said her office is reviewing evidence and could file additional charges.
"This individual has not been arrested for any homicide related to this incident," Schubert said in a statement. "The investigation is highly complex involving many witnesses, videos of numerous types and significant physical evidence. This is an ongoing investigation and we anticipate more arrests in this case."
Martin also has an active warrant out of Riverside County that was issued in 2015 for allegedly inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, according to court records.
The Sacramento Police Department SWAT team has served search warrants at three residences and recovered at least one handgun in the wake of the shooting. Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester said Sunday that a stolen handgun was also recovered at the scene.
Around 2:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, multiple shooters opened fired in downtown Sacramento as people flooded out of bars and restaurants.
"We know that a large fight took place just prior to the shooting and we have confirmed that there are multiple shooters," Lester said at a press conference.
Three men and three women were killed by gunfire, while a dozen others were wounded and are being treated at area hospitals.
The six deceased victims were identified on Monday as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21; Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and Devazia Turner, 29.
Investigators recovered more than 100 shell casings at the scene, which spans multiple city blocks, and located at least three buildings and three vehicles that were hit by gunfire.
Members of the public have sent in dozens of videos and photo files, and police are encouraging people to submit anything that might can be used as evidence.
It was the second mass shooting this year in Sacramento after a man shot and killed his three daughters, a chaperone, and himself during a supervised visitation in a church in February.
The city also saw a 30% increase in homicides last year, according to police data.

This survey is the first in a series of reports from The Workforce Institute at Kronos and Future Workplace that examines attitudes of Gen Z in workplaces across Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK, and the US, including how their education has prepared them for the working world, their perceptions about the gig economy, and their views on how to be an employer of choice for the next generation. Part one, “Meet Gen Z: Hopeful, Anxious, Hardworking, and Searching for Inspiration,” explores surprising contradictions of how 16- to 25-year-olds view themselves, their expectations of work, and how employers can best prepare to manage Gen Z employees.
- Gen Z believes it is the hardest-working generation – and have it the hardest – yet demand schedule flexibility to deliver their best work.
- One-third (32%) of Gen Z respondents say they are the hardest-working generation ever, with Millennials ranked as the second-hardest working generation at 25%. More than half (56%) say the Silent Generation is the least hardworking generation of all time.
- Almost two-fifths (36%) of Gen Zers believe they “had it the hardest” when entering the working world compared to all other generations before it, tied with the Silent Generation (ages 75-94), which generally began entering the workforce during or just after World War II.
- While Gen Zers believe they are hardworking, one in four (26%) admit they would work harder and stay longer at a company that supports flexible schedules, with flexibility desired most in Canada (33%), the U.K. (31%), and the U.S. (31%).
- Gen Z’s appeal for flexibility comes with a few actions they would never tolerate from their employer, including being forced to work when they don’t want to (35%); inability to use vacation days when they want to (34%); and working back-to-back shifts (30%).
- Mind the “Preparation Gap”: Gen Z outlines what school did – and did not – prepare them for, as these digital natives crave face-to-face interaction.
- Despite record-high enrollment, less than half of Gen Z credits their high school (39%) or college (42%) education for preparing them to enter the working world. One in four Gen Zers say they are least prepared to handle negotiating (26%); networking (24%); speaking confidently in front of crowds (24%); and resolving work conflict (23%).
- Conversely, Gen Z feels well-equipped to handle working in a team (57%); hitting project deadlines (57%); and working with customers (56%).
- Gen Z also isn’t prepared to be managed by another person (21%), although nearly one-third (32%) say they would be motivated to work harder and stay longer at a company if they have a supportive manager. The top three attributes they value in a manager are: “they trust me” (47%), “they support me” (40%), and “they care about me” (35%).
- Despite being digital natives, three out of four Gen Zers (75%) prefer to receive manager feedback in person, and 39% prefer to communicate with their team or employer in person – with Gen Zers in Mexico valuing in-person communication the most (55%).

- How do they measure success? Gen Z is optimistic, yet anxious, about their careers.
- Across the globe, more than half (56%) of Gen Z is optimistic about their professional future, led by India where an incredible 44% of 16- to 25-year-olds are “extremely optimistic,” followed closely by U.S. Gen Zers at 31%.
- However, Gen Zers who are employed today are the least optimistic: Half (50%) of those who are currently serving in an internship and one-third (28%) of those working full-time are only “moderately” optimistic about their professional future.
- The overall optimism of Gen Z is met with many emotional barriers this generation feels it must overcome to achieve workplace success, including anxiety (34%), lack of motivation/drive (20%), and low self-esteem (17%). Anxiety, specifically, is a greater concern among female Gen Zers (39% vs. 29% for male) and most prevalent in Canada (44%), the U.K. (40%), and the U.S. (40%).
- About one-third of Gen Z measures their success based on how respected they are by their co-workers (34%) and the recognition they receive from their manager (32%). However, traditional benchmarks still matter, with salary (44%) and advancement (35%) reigning supreme.

With the advent of an unprecedented magnitude of data, top-k queries have gained a lot of attention. However, existing work to date has focused on optimizing efficiency without looking closely at privacy preservation. In this paper, we study how existing approaches have failed to support a combination of accuracy and privacy requirements and we propose a new data publishing framework that supports both areas. We show that satisfying both requirements is an essential problem and propose two comprehensive algorithms. We also validated the correctness and efficiency of our approach using experiments.

text: Molecular self-assembly is central to many processes in both biology and supramolecular chemistry. The G-quartet, a hydrogen-bonded macrocycle formed by cation-templated assembly of guanosine, was first identified in 1962 as the basis for the aggregation of 5′-guanosine monophosphate. We now know that many nucleosides, oligonucleotides, and synthetic derivatives form a rich array of functional G-quartets. The G-quartet surfaces in areas ranging from structural biology and medicinal chemistry to supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. This Review integrates and summarizes knowledge gained from these different areas, with emphasis on G-quartet structure, function, and molecular recognition.

A new study conducted by researchers from Penn State found yet another way social media can come into play for prospective job candidates.
The findings revealed that employers are not only looking at social media before hiring a new employee, but posts that appear too opinionated or self-absorbed could cost consumers a job.
“In 2018, 70 percent of employers reported looking at social media sites to help them evaluate potential employees, and almost that many -- 60 percent -- eliminated candidates on the basis of negative content,” said researcher Michael Tews. “It’s important for job candidates to be aware of how they portray themselves in social media.”
Posts to avoid
The researchers had nearly 500 hiring managers participate in the study. Each of them evaluated a job candidate’s responses to an in-person interview; afterwards, they reviewed the hypothetical candidate’s social media posts.
When it came time to look over candidates’ social media, the participants were shown one of 16 different social media profiles. The profiles showed a wide variety of posts, with the primary focus being on alcohol and drug use, strong opinions, and self-absorption. Ultimately, the researchers found that hiring managers were more likely to reject job candidates based on their social media presence, particularly when taking into consideration those three categories.
While posts with alcohol or drug use cost some candidates a job, this proved to be the most acceptable posting category for job prospects. Though Tews explained that the posts involved in this study were “benign” when it came to substance use, he also mentioned that hiring managers may “perceive the content as relatively normal.”
When it came to being perceived as self-absorbed or opinionated, potential job candidates were often dismissed.
Tews explained that posting opinions that could be “divisive” may make prospective employees seem “more argumentative and less cooperative,” whereas those posting solely about themselves could be perceived as “less likely to sacrifice for the benefit of other employees and the organization.”
Social media as networking
Though many consumers on the job hunt may be worried about everything they’ve ever posted, Tews is of the mindset that social media can be used for the greater good, especially when it comes to the job market.
While he believes that job candidates should certainly do a once-over of their online profiles before going to an interview, he also believes that employers should be clearer about what posts are and aren’t acceptable for their corporation to make the process easier on applicants.
“From the employer perspective, hiring managers should be trained on how best to use social networking content in making selection decisions,” said Tews. “To maximize the benefit of using social networking content for selection purposes, organizations should set guidelines for what content is relevant and should be examined, specify what content is irrelevant and potentially discriminatory and develop standardized rating systems to make the evaluation process more objective.”


Large Swamp Rats Called Nutria Consuming Louisiana's Wetlands
Posted on May 12, 2013
The Weather Channel reports that large swamp rats, called nutria (Myocastor coypus), are "eating Louisiana." This is technically correct as the semi-aquatic rats are devouring plants in Louisiana's wetlands, which augments soil erosion.
The National Geographic says Nutria, also known as coypu, can be 17 to 25 inches tall (43 to 64 cm) and weigh as much as 15 to 22 pounds (7 to 10 kg). The big rats were brought to Louisiana from South America in the 1930s by entrepreneurs who hoped to profit from selling nutria fur.
This photo shows the size of Nutria droppings.
Chris Metzier, the filmaker behind the upcoming documentary, Rodents of Unusual Size, told Take Part in an interview that the nutria help to erode 40 square miles per soil per year. This is bad because those wetlands help protect the coast from the surge generated by hurricanes. Take a look:

I live in an area with a lot of Amish, too, but what bothers me is the way those kids are used like field hands and put in extremely dangerous situations.
We just had yet another child killed in a farming accident; because it occured at another family member's home, the state is investigating. Both families feel
little, if any, regret. It's more or less an attitude of "Yes well, these things happen." They're upset that the state is looking into the situation and feel it's none of anyone's business what they do with their kids.
I took care of a three year old girl who was torn from her pubic area to her sternum by a piece of farm equipment. The parents couldn't even be bothered to stay with her. At least one parent could have stayed, but no...
Almost every day I see these kids in extremely dangerous situations, purely because they're being used to keep the farm going.
As far as the women, it was great fun getting 40-something women in the ED who were hemorrhaging because it was their 14th or 15th pregnancy...at some point the body just can't handle any more pregnancies. My friend in OB had one father, right after the woman delivered, ask the doctor, "When can I breed her again?" Or the ones who were in full-blown eclampsia or going into labor at 29 weeks.
So I wouldn't use the Amish as a terrific example, at least in my area. People tend to romanticize that lifestyle; let me tell you, it ain't "Witness." (A movie that was filmed, incidentally, in my county.)
In any event, it was totally inappropriate for that anesthesiologist to say that.

In a recent interview with Katrina Kaif, she spoke about her Zero co-star, Shah Rukh Khan. She said,
“Personally, Shah Rukh is the same. His crazy passion for work, his drive and focus and love for his work and his desire to push you as an actor remains the same. And that’s fantastic. I know SRK much better now. I know him better as a person. Anushka has come such a long way and she has grown so much since Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Even in her life and her work, she has started her own clothing line and her production company is doing some great work. She has done really well for herself,”
Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan have earlier acted together in the film, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’. Anushka Sharma also acted in the movie
Katrina on her work front will soon be seen in the most awaited Salman Khan starer film, ‘Bharat’.

You had a hard day of work. You missed the bus but finally arrive home 1/2 hr later than usual. Just as you are about to enter the door, a whiff of aroma hits your nose. You open the door and you saw that the house is tidy and dinner is ready.
Won’t that be wonderful?
I know that is what AR long to have. Most of the time, he gets the dinner but a tidy house? well.. That depends on which day.
Time just seem to pass so quickly these days. I’m back in Uni-this time as a staff member (temporarily) and a blink of an eye-3/4 of the day is gone. I can only imagine what it will be like entering the workforce as a permanent worker.
I’m starting to be a real fan of making food in bulk and freezing them. Makes life so much easier.
Crisp parcels filled with creamy seafood was one of the meals I made in bulk. Well, I did a total of 16 parcels and froze most of them. I made a grilled vegetable salad and da tah! Simple dinner. =)
2 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of flour
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of chedder cheese
4 pieces of puff pastry-each piece quartered to make 16 squares
1) Make sauce- melt butter, add flour. Stir till golden. Whisk in milk till smooth. Add cheese and simmer.
2) Gently heat some olive oil in pan. Fry seafood and frozen veges till nearly done. Transfer seafood to sauce. Taste and season. Cool filling.
3) Preheat Oven to 200C
4) Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the middle of the pastry. Fold in half. Seal with beaten egg. Egg wash pastry. Repeat for 15 other puffs.
5) Bake for 25 minutes till puffy and golden.
6) Serve with veges! =)

Twitter As A Business Research Tool
Using Twitter as a business research tool doesn’t just mean finding out facts on Twitter: It means that you, your company and your products should be researchable too. The best strategy involves starting out with focused branding. This will quickly allow you to research the impact of your own brand within Twitter, as well as your competitors’ brands.
Twitter Research Tips (continued)
Step 3. Finding New Audiences
You don’t even have to leave Twitter to find new audiences. In addition to all the usual prompted ways to connect (searching your email accounts, for example), there are third-party sites and apps you can use, as well as searching hashtags and using Advanced Search.
But there are a few key actions that top Twitter users seem to take. Before chasing off after the latest app, make sure you have these set in place:
- Tweet focused, fascinating content.
People are tired of serial retweeters and spammy marketing messages. Make sure that whatever you share – whether or not it is personal or promotional – speaks directly to your target listener, firmly hooking into her areas of interest. Keep your company mission or goal as central to every tweet. Before hitting the button, ask yourself “does this detract from what I want to portray… or is it in alignment?”
Make sure your tweet is unique and personal (in that it doesn’t sound as if it was written by a robot).
And here’s a powerful example of why you should take that extra time to create great tweets.
This tweet was chosen by Twitter as a “Top Tweet” – meaning that out of all the tweets created to promote (in this case) a particular hashtag, this one was the tweet retweeted most – and, if you remember, retweeting increases your Twitter status.
Now you’re ready to find a bigger, targeted audience – and they are ready to find you.…
- Search through authority blogs you regularly read. Look for people who comment or guest-author.
Follow the blog administrator or creator. (Particularly follow the Twitter Advertising Blog, since this tells you what makes money for Twitter – and therefore will be important for your own Twitter research.
3, Join Twitter Chats. This is a great way to become known and find quality people to follow. There are several sites like TweetReports displaying the latest TweetChat schedules – both multiple subject and niche-specific.
- Create a Chat. Don’t just wait to find the right one – create a regular, weekly TweetChat specifically for existing subscribers – and ask them to share it.
Put your TweetChat name and hashtag right in your Profile Summary, as author/editor, Julie Isaac has done, below.
- Join Groups: LinkedIn Groups for strictly business; Facebook for a wide selection of special interests and Yahoo Groups for hobby niches.
Again, Groups allow you to become known – which lead to “follows”. So be sure to include your Twitter handle in your Profile and posts or post signatures (if allowed).
- Join Forums or Membership sites that are built around your niche. Provide quality comments, answers and questions. Be there – daily and regularly.
And – again – include your Twitter handle wherever it’s allowed within those sites.
Step 4. Managing Your Followers
Another thing that can hurt you in today’s online climate: Going for numbers over quality, when it comes to attracting followers. Every spammer you leave on your account will hurt it in Twitter’s eyes.
Get into the habit of also checking for new followers daily through your “@Connect” menu tab.
By all means add people when they follow you – but do it manually. Check them out first to make sure you haven’t inadvertently added an auto-spammer who never personally engages.
Go through your account and get rid of anyone who doesn’t fit your niche or actually engage with you.
Step 5. Searching and using Hashtags
Hashtags can be a powerful tool, when it comes to letting your ideal follower know you exist and allowing you to find quality people to follow
Surprisingly, a recent report released by Business Insider Intelligence on factors affecting follower growth cited the use of hashtags (along with tweeting negative emotions and talking about oneself) as one of three factors adversely affecting account growth.
We’ll qualify that, and specify “don’t over-use hashtags”.
Hashtags can be a powerful tool when you use them in a focused way for a specific purpose (e.g. alerting all the members of a forum to the weekly Google Hangout; letting interested readers know there is fresh news about your upcoming book: “How to Speak Orang-Utan”.)
Who overuses hashtags? Anyone who inserts more than two in a post – and uses hashtags in every post.
Two hashtags should be the maximum you ever use in a post.


Ten Blairgowrie High School pupils took over the town’s Little’s restaurant in their Sea to Plate initiative.
The S3 pupils, who are all studying hospitality, prepared food to their own recipes then served nearly 50 customers.
The pupils also visited fish markets in Peterhead, a trawler boat and a fishmonger in Crieff as part of the project, which aims to educate young people about sustainable fishing and the supply chain which enables fish to end up in shops and restaurants.
Parents, grandparents and Little’s customers all enjoyed the three-course meal, with one commenting that it was a “lovely night”.
Restaurateur Willie Little, who has been a supporter of the project for a number of years, accompanied the pupils throughout the initiative and guided them in the final stage of their journey.
He said: “They are brilliant kids. They have all worked really hard and it’s been great working with them.
“I hope we have broadened their minds and taught them about fish and how tasty it can be and how healthy it is.”
Lynn Smith, principal teacher of home economics at Blairgowrie High School, said: “This has been a fantastic experience for the young people. The whole thing has just been inspirational.
“Willie really goes the extra mile with his engagement with the youngsters by allowing them to effectively take over his restaurant for a full day and they have gained a real insight into all the stages involved in getting fish from the sea and on to the plate to eat.
“It has been great for them to learn that fish doesn’t just come in fingers and it is great for us as teachers to see the pupils come out of their comfort zone and increase their confidence, which was clearly evident in the way they served and interacted with the customers in the restaurant.
“They worked as a team brilliantly and all mucked in and are a credit to their parents, the school and the community. We are very proud of them.”
She thanked Willie, Helen and all the team at Little’s, the parents and families for their support, Seafood in Schools, and the pupils for all their hard work and enthusiasm, saying: “It’s just been fantastic.”
Maria Anderson from project sponsor Seafood in Schools was a guest at the dinner.
She said: “This is just the type of project that we would like to see replicated in other areas.
“It gives the pupils more awareness of life in the industry and gives them skills for work, which is an important part of the curriculum for excellence.
“What Blairgowrie High School has done is embed this project in the curriculum and made it sustainable in itself so that it is not just a one-off occurrence.
“They have ensured that the opportunity is open to other year groups in the future, which is just brilliant.”
She added: “The food tonight was excellent and the service and attention to detail very impressive. It was first-class and a big thanks must go to Lynn for pulling this all together.”
Pupil Chloe Walker said that she had enjoyed the experience and been encouraged by Willie to try new types of fish which she really enjoyed.
Javier Perez-Cuevas said that, although working in the kitchen had been quite challenging as it was so fast-paced, it was a career opportunity he would consider now.
And one pupil, Holly Brough, has even been offered a job at Little’s as a result of the project.
She said: “I really loved the whole thing and its amazing to have been offered a job.
“I’ve already done four shifts here and have cooked fish for my family at home, which they all loved.”

The other week I had the opportunity to do more on-site historical research: this time at Valley Forge and Monmouth!
As I finish Gideon Hawke #4, A Constant Thunder, I have begun research for the yet-to-be-named Gideon Hawke #5. In this installment, after the Saratoga campaign, Gideon and Ruth will find themselves enduring a cold, wet winter at Valley Forge. The Continental Line will undergo a thorough retraining, and Gideon and his new command will be put their training to the test at Monmouth Courthouse.
With this storyline in mind, I headed to two of the most significant sites in the history of the U.S. Army. Having grown up in the Northeast, I have been to both sites before, but this time I came with a better understanding of what happened there.
Replica soldiers’ quarters at Valley Forge
At Valley Forge I looked in detail at a few particular pieces of ground: Washington’s headquarters, the areas where Gideon’s unit was quartered, and the Grand Parade, where the Army drilled endlessly to ready itself to confront the British once again. I was struck by the size of the Grand Parade; I could envision several Continental brigades maneuvering over hill and valley, deploying from column to line, practicing volley fire, and charging with fixed bayonets. I could envision an Army gaining confidence in itself. Valley Forge did not disappoint.
At Monmouth, on the other hand, I was at first a bit frustrated. I knew that significant portions of the actual battlefield had been covered by urban and suburban sprawl, but after having been spoiled with the beautifully preserved National Parks at Saratoga and Valley Forge, I found the Monmouth State park to be quite a mixed bag: useful brochures, well thought-out trails, and restored fences–all blighted by neglected buildings, missing markers, graffiti, and a confusing array of working fields and orchards. Not to be deterred, I walked the ground, with my very patient and understanding family along for the hike. I was encouraged by a few intact markers detailing the archaeological finds on the battlefield; some of these were directly relevant to the plot of Gideon Hawke #5.
Overlooking the southern portion of the Monmouth Battlefield. On this spot Nathanael Greene posted his division’s guns, enfilading the British gun line near the plowed field in the distance.
Finally, our patience was rewarded by what was to me one of the highlights of the trip: tracing the route of the light infantry counterattack at the close of the battle, when Washington launched a few battalions of “picked men” along the Spotswood North Brook in a move against the British right flank. I was able to scramble up the bank and emerge from the woods, envisioning the Continental troops deploying on line, and a battalion of Royal Highlanders forming up and wheeling right to meet them. I could also see the ridge where the American guns were posted, and could envision American grapeshot skimming through the field and skipping across the ground into the British ranks. (Archaeologists have recovered a good deal of that fired grapeshot, confirming the British positions) Then we were able to walk along the line where the Americans marched in parade-ground formation, closed the distance to the Highlanders, and finally traded volleys with their foes in the open field. As we stood there, I could imagine the Continental troops’ elation when the British quit the field, grudgingly rewarding the Americans’ skill, discipline, and valor.
Emerging from Spotswood North Brook: on June 28th, 1778, climbing up the ravine and stepping into the light would have put you within musket shot of the British right flank.
For an author of historical fiction, it was a remarkable experience; one which will heavily influence my fifth novel. For an American combat veteran, visiting the battlefield on Memorial Day, it was a humbling reminder of the grit, determination, and sacrifice of all those who stayed on in the ranks of the Continental Army and learned to beat the British at their own game. It also reminded me of the soldiers I have known who continued that tradition, and gave the last full measure of devotion.
After Valley Forge and Monmouth, the War for American Independence changed for good: no longer was it simply a contest of weak trying to survive against strong. The Continental Army had come of age, and with France and Spain going to war against Great Britain, it became a global war that threatened the very existence of the British Empire. The British soldiers would continue to despise their American foes, but on several occasions after Monmouth, British hubris would be severely punished at the point of American bayonets. The war would grind on for years, and the British Empire would survive, but ultimately it would do so without its thirteen erstwhile colonies.
So, ultimately, my visits to Valley Forge and Monmouth were successful. It cost us several pairs of soggy shoes, a couple of bug bites, and a few poison ivy rashes, but Gideon Hawke #5 will be the richer for it; and so will my children’s understanding of their heritage.

A dealership is counting its blessings after three motorhomes together worth £180,000 were found within hours of being stolen.
Stewart Mouland Motorcaravans had fitted a tracking device to each of the Swift vehicles, which were taken in just 10 minutes from the secured Peacehaven forecourt, despite being locked and immobilised.
The thieves, who struck at night, cut through padlocks and overrode the immobilisers to make off with the Kon-tiki, Bolero and Bessacarr motorhomes.
Owner Stephen Mouland alerted police, and within hours of him reporting the theft, the vehicles, which had been fitted with devices from Tracker, had been found in three separate south London locations.
He said: ‘The thieves were in and out within minutes, knowing exactly what they were doing and fully prepared to get past all our physical security barriers.
‘They were obviously experts, and I believe that without the Tracker devices installed, the motorhomes would never have been returned.
‘I would urge other retailers to check if the used vehicles on their forecourts have Trackers installed and to get all stock protected as soon as possible.
‘I am now also looking into getting devices installed at the point of sale so my customers can benefit from the same protection as my business does.’
Clive Wain, head of police liaison at Tracker, commented: ‘The cost of caravans and motorhomes is increasing alongside the growing popularity of staycations and camping and caravanning holidays abroad.
‘The lack of supply of vehicles and parts is further increasing value and demand.
‘At Tracker, we are seeing the impact this is having on the number of thefts and the lengths criminals will go to in order to steal these highly desirable, high-value vehicles.’
He added: ‘As Stephen experienced, thieves are not always put off by physical barriers, so a Tracker device is an essential tool in protecting vehicles on the forecourt or on a customer’s driveway, increasing the likelihood that a stolen vehicle can be returned to its owner or the retailer.
‘Retailers and dealers have an important role to play in educating their customers and helping them to protect their vehicles, and ultimately their holidays.
‘Recovery of these three motorhomes was a significant operation covering a wide area, in which Tracker worked closely with Sussex Police, the Metropolitan Police and the National Police Air Service, and we are assisting the police in their ongoing investigation.’
Two other locked and immobilised motorhomes that were also taken in the raid in April but which didn’t have tracking devices are yet to be found.

This week the Senate will vote on the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act, a bill written by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, or HELP, Committee. Sen. Harkin worked with Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Tom Carper (D-DE), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Richard Burr (R-NC), Angus King (I-ME), and Tom Coburn (R-OK) to develop this bipartisan compromise, which would lower interest rates for the 11 million student-loan borrowers who either have taken out or will take out a new federal student loan after July 1, 2013.
Under the bill, interest rates in 2013 would be reduced immediately for all borrowers. The rates for undergraduate students and graduate students would drop to 3.86 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively, down from the current rate of 6.8 percent. The rate for parents and graduate students getting PLUS loans would also drop to 6.4 percent, down from the current 7.9 percent.
The compromise bill would protect students in the future in two important ways. First, the bill rejects a variable loan interest rate that resets every year—a feature of the House-passed companion bill—by fixing the rate at the time of the loan’s origination. The compromise also caps the maximum interest rates for undergraduate loans in future years at 8.25 percent, graduate loans at 9.5 percent, and PLUS loans at 10.5 percent.
Those opposed to the compromise, however, have raised some important issues. Some, for example, have expressed concern that it costs students more to borrow from the federal government than it costs banks. This is an important point, but when the Federal Reserve provides low-interest-rate loans to banks, these loans are generally short-term, overnight loans that are intended to keep funds flowing between financial institutions to ensure liquidity. Furthermore, banks do not get the benefits that student borrowers receive, such as insurance against death and disability, flexible repayment terms such as income-based repayment, and extended repayment periods of up to 30 years.
Critics of the compromise bill have also expressed concern that the federal government “profits” in making student loans. The compromise charges undergraduate students the federal government’s cost of capital—which here is assumed to be what the government would make if the same funds were used to issue a Treasury bond—and a small mark-up to cover the costs of the program, including repayment options and costs of default. The cap on interest rates also has a cost because students are charged a small amount more to effectively buy an insurance policy that allows them to receive a lower rate if rates in the market exceed 8.25 percent.
The authors of the deal apparently sought a deficit-neutral proposal—meaning the government would not make additional revenue above what the program and new rates cost. How much revenue is actually generated from the program cannot be accurately predicted, however, since the proposal is based on the Congressional Budget Office’s best guess with respect to future interest rates and program costs. But the proposal rightly seeks deficit neutrality, in stark contrast to the House bill, which purposefully charges students more in order to pay down the deficit.
There are good arguments for the government to spend additional money to make loans even cheaper for students, and Congress should certainly debate this issue in the context of reauthorizing the federal student-loan program. Given the significant return on investment in postsecondary education to the nation’s economy, it could make sense to subsidize the federal student-loan program so that students pay less than the market rate and the government covers a portion of the costs of the loans on behalf of students. We believe this should be debated in the context of reauthorization because this type of investment should be compared with other potential investments in the student-aid system, including increased support for the Pell Grant program.
In the meantime, a vote against the bipartisan bill is a vote against student borrowers. It is a vote to keep student-loan interest rates for undergraduates and graduate students at 6.8 percent. A vote for the bill, however, is a vote to reduce the cost of borrowing for every student and parent that takes out federal loans this year, saving an estimated $15 billion in total. On average, under this bill, an undergraduate student that borrows between July 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014, will save $1,500 over the life of the loan. Based on current interest-rate projections, a vote for the bill is a vote to keep rates below 6.8 percent for at least the next five years.
No deal is perfect. Unlike some earlier proposals, the bipartisan bill was not crafted to increase revenues, but it does have some incidental savings over 10 years. It would be preferable if these incidental savings stay in the student-aid system. The caps are higher than we have advocated for because we are concerned that high interest rates on student loans could discourage some students from enrolling and persisting in postsecondary education. We are satisfied, however, that the students would be adequately protected should interest rates increase dramatically in the future.
On balance, the bill is a good deal for college students when compared to current interest rates, and the bill also ensures the long-term viablity of the student-loan program. As Sen. Harkin has correctly pointed out, Congress can revisit the provisions of this bill in the coming months when it reauthorizes the Higher Education Act. In that context, Congress should take another look at interest rates, but it also needs to aggressively tackle the larger problem of out-of-control tuition rates and ensure that graduates are getting quality programs.
It is time to deal with the reality that students and their families today are trying to figure out how to pay their increasingly expensive tuition bills. With the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act, student-loan borrowers would get a reasonable interest rate that does not change over the life of the loan.
David A. Bergeron is the Vice President for Postsecondary Education at the Center for American Progress.

I’m going to assume that you are in a healthy mood, or at least, I’m assuming that you’re at a point in your life where you’re not going to have to worry about your symptoms for a long time.
However, the fact of the matter is that some of the things that you should take to help you sleep, recover from pain, or feel better about yourself can cause you to become depressed.
This article will explain why some of these medicines are not going the way you thought they would, and what you should be looking for when shopping for them.
Before we start, I want to give a shout out to all of the wonderful people who are participating in this AMA, and all of those who have already been able to find me on the subreddit.
You’ve all helped make this possible, and I want this AMA to continue to grow and grow.
I will continue to update this article with all of your responses, but if you would like to know what other people are saying about it, feel free to leave a comment or contact me.
I know that this article has been pretty long, but please feel free the read it all, because this is going to be a long one.
So, let’s get started.
In general, I don’t recommend taking any of these herbal medicines until you’re in a place where you are comfortable with them.
If you’re feeling more like a new person than a newbie, you might want to stick to a few of the ones listed above.
I’m also going to recommend that you take them on a regular basis.
It can be very hard to keep up with all the different things that herbal medicine has to offer, so taking a dose of a lot of them on an occasional basis can be quite beneficial.
I think that taking a few herbal medicines on a daily basis is probably a good idea to help keep your body functioning normally, and keep you feeling a little better.
It’s important to keep in mind that the majority of these things are taken for a purpose, but the herbal medicine that you choose may also be beneficial for your health.
There are some herbs that are helpful for treating conditions such as psoriasis, but it’s still important to talk to your doctor before making any changes to your lifestyle, especially if you’re trying to get off medications.
