ICC Bangladesh will organize a three-day Workshop on International Trade Finance in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on 25-27 April 2018 jointly with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP) and Trade Training and Research Institute (TTRI), Ministry of Commerce, Government of Cambodia.
Bangladesh today is the 41st largest economy in the world with a GDP of US$270 billion growing at 7.2% per annum. This makes it one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Merchandise Export is US$40 billion while Import is US$ 43 Billion and both are growing at a healthy rate as depicted by the GDP growth.
You may be aware that the 2017 ICC Global Trade Finance Survey findings relate to the pace of digitization of trade activity which are striking, 50% of respondents see high levels of digitization achieved in less than a decade but an almost equal portion of survey participants expect the evolution to take from 10-25 years. Some 46% identify multinational and large corporates as the highest priority client segment for their trade finance business, with a quarter favouring middle market clients and less than 20% identifying Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Some 57% of respondents believe traditional trade finance will exhibit little or no growth while 22% think it will decline outright year-on-year. Cost control pressures are considered the biggest challenge facing trade finance units. These are cited by 23% of respondents, followed closely by the availability of specialist skills (21%), &limits posed by traditional technologies (18%).
Accordingly, the workshop has been designed for the trade finance officials of Bangladesh Banks, commercial banks, non-banking financial institutions, government officials, corporations, exporters, importers, investment project managers, corporate lawyers, SME entrepreneurs, freight forwarders and other international trade professionals to understand and take guard against the risks involved and how to resolve issues.
Certified Documentary Credit Specialists (CDCS), Certified Specialist in Demand Guarantees (CSDG) participants will receive 14 (Fourteen) Professional Development Unit (PDUs) for re-certification by attending this workshop and can also claim additional 2 (two) PDUs for completion of pre coursework which is confirmed at their attendance by production of a one page report on their research.
We are pleased to announce that the Workshop will be conducted by Mr. CHEA Chanto, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia (Central Bank); Mr. Vincent O'Brien, Member of the ICC Banking Commission; Dr. Masato Abe, Economic Affairs Officer, Trade, Investment and Innovation Division of UNESCAP and Mr. Ka-Kit MAN, CEO of Capital and Credit Risk Manager (CCRM).
The registration form duly filled-in may please be send along-with fees thru’ Pay Order in favour of ICC Bangladesh addressed to the Secretary General, ICC Bangladesh, Suvastu Tower (6th Floor), 69/1, Pantha Path, Dhaka-1205 by Thursday, 12 April 2018.
The Brochure and Registration Forms are enclosed...........


The Resident Electoral Commissioner of Adamawa State who has been suspended, Hudu Ari, is not known to the Independent National Electoral Commission, which has admitted as much.
The commission made this information public following his behavior during the special governor’s election in Adamawa.
Festus Okoye, the national commissioner for INEC, said this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.
There was controversy surrounding the declaration of the Adamawa supplemental election after Ari declared Binani the winner of the vote even though the collation process was not yet complete.
The source also heard that Ari was called to the electoral umpire’s office in Abuja.
The panel informed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (ret. ), of Ari’s actions on Thursday, and the President authorized Ari’s suspension until the outcome of an inquiry by the Inspector General of Police.
“We don’t know where he is because the commission wrote to him and called him following this specific occurrence. He never answered any of the calls, and he never gave any callers a call back.
“We requested that he appear before the panel on Sunday, but we failed to see him. He was supposed to report on Monday, but he was nowhere to be found. So far, he has not reported, and we are unaware of his location, Okoye added.
“Well, the Nigerian Police are in charge of it. It is their prerogative and discretion to designate someone sought if they believe his presence is crucial to the inquiry and he cannot be located.
“We sent letters to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Inspector General of Police. The Inspector General of Police has responded, and they have already started an investigation.
“From what I understand, the file will be made available to the commission and the commission will start prosecuting the REC as soon as the Inspector General of Police completes the investigation regarding the REC and every other person involved and a prima facie case is established against the REC,” he said.

I have stayed away from using paper to cover boards, except for miniatures
and small accordion books, because I didn't trust it to wear well. I think
I'll try again with your encouragement. Tell me, do you coat the paper
before you apply the medium? It seems to me that would be the logical way
because then the turn-ins would be coated while the paper is flat.
In the past, I have used PVA brushed on illustrations I applied to the
front covers of books to protect them. Years later, the pictures are as
good as new. However, there is an obvious sheen; brush strokes are visible.
Does acrylic medium change the appearance at all? Have you ever used Krylon
clear matte spray finish?
Using atlas pages for travel books is a wonderful idea.

Wuhan Zall had no chances to enter the championship race after losing to Hebei China Fortune 2-0, while Tianjin enlarged its winless record to 13 games after being defeated by Qingdao Huanghai 3-0 before the match.
Starting from pole position, Zhou kept his lead in the opening stages of the race while others jockeyed for position behind him.
The defender was then shown a direct red card in the 67th minute for bringing down Luka Jovic, when the striker looked to be through on goal to leave Betis with 10 men.
2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers, which scheduled to kick off in October and December, have all been postponed to the year of 2021.
In the 14th minute, Chongqing striker Feng Jin was knocked down by Shanghai defender Zhang Wei when he tried to make a breakthrough from the left side. Feng was rewarded with a penalty at first, but the referee decided to give Zhang a red card instead after checking the VAR.
Lautaro's scorcher before the interval wiped out Christian Kouame's opener, and the Argentinian then forced Federico Ceccherini into scoring an own goal seven minutes after the break, helping the Nerazzurri turn around the game.
Shanghai coach Milos Paden said that when his side found themselves in early trouble, he simply asked them to do what they did every day in practice.
Real Madrid won 3-2 away to Betis on Saturday after a disastrous few minutes from Betis defender Emerson.
Jepkosgei will return to the same course she shattered the world record in 2017 in half marathon and will face up against fellow countrywoman Joan Chelimo.
At Roland Garros, Djokovic has another record to achieve - becoming the first men's player in Open Era history to win each of the four Grand Slam titles at least twice.
PARIS, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Defending champion Rafael Nadal, who is seeking his record 13th title at Roland Garros, eased through the first round with a comfortable 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over Belarusian Egor Gerasimov on Monday.


Clean the condenser fan blades before the start of the cooling season. Brush any dust or debris off gently and then uncover the condenser coils, gently cleaning the dirty side. Then wrap the motor and other electrical components in plastic bags and gently spray from the inside with a hose. Now check the base pan under the unit and clear it out of any debris that has gathered.
Concrete Blocks -- Concrete blocks are used in foundations and are often found in full basements. Insulating the spaces in the blocks is not the way to insulate them as the heat energy will travel along the concrete itself. The best way to insulate with concrete blocks is to use insulated concrete blocks, which have polystyrene incorporated into them.
With the split system, the evaporator coil is connected to a remote condenser unit using refrigerant piping between an indoor and outdoor unit instead of ducting air directly from the outdoor unit. Indoor units with directional vents mount onto walls, suspended from ceilings, or fit into the ceiling. Other indoor units mount inside the ceiling cavity, so that short lengths of duct handle air from the indoor unit to vents or diffusers around the rooms.
In the middle of summer—even more so in North America—AC repairs are undoubtedly the last thing you want to have to think about. But that won’t keep them from taking place. Fortunately, Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is dedicated to completing expert quality AC repair, maintenance and installation throughout the North America area. We certainly don’t want you to be stuck in an uncomfortable home during the hottest days of summer.
Air conditioners can create a lot of water because they remove moisture from the air. To get rid of this, they have a [usually plastic] drain pipe that comes out of the side of the air handler. Over time, algae can block this pipe and, when it does, the AC won’t work. In fact, some condensate drains have a float switch that won’t let the AC run if water backs-up. Water can also puddle around the unit or flood the area. To deal with condensate problems, please see Air Conditioner Leaks Water, below.
Whether you’re starting your air conditioner for the first time this year, or a unit isn’t running properly and you need to service an air conditioner, following a few simple steps can save you time and money. While some service jobs should be left to a professional, there are several do-it-yourself fixes you can do to keep your air conditioner cooling all summer long.
I call to follow up at the end of the next day and she said that she has not been able to get in touch with the owner. By this time, I am starting to get frustrated because I am starting to get the run around. I question her if I am even on the schedule or if they attempted to schedule a crane. She says they are extremely busy and that she does not know. So I say, basically I have waited over 2 weeks and you have not put me on the schedule and I am at the end of the install line. No answer. I tell her to talk to her boss and find out what is happening, and I will think about what direction I want to move in at this point.
It's always changing: Some newer thermostats take advantage of wireless technology. You can adjust your thermostat remotely so that if you leave and forget to adjust it, or if you are going to be home later than you thought, you can adjust it via your smartphone. Some can even give you reports on how efficient your system is performing based on usage. These are very efficient models, but they are also very expensive with some costing over $250.00.
Excalibur Water Systems helps solve the water challenges around the globe with water solutions for any possible water concerns in: water hardness, filtration of any contaminant, bacteria removal and high purity water needs and also comes with a warranty of up to 20 years at no extra cost. The best warranty for the water treatment equipment industry.
Contact/Relay -- Relays are electronically controlled switches that activate the various components of your HVAC system. They manage everything from the power going to the motor to automatic dampers, humidifiers, etc. Most of them are controlled by the thermostat. The most common failure for a relay is being stuck in the "open" position. Separated from its assigned contact point, it fails to complete the connection and send the message to whatever it was supposed to operate. This failure usually occurs from use over time. Each time a relay connects and sends its signal, the electrical arcing from point to point eventually causes wear and tear.
An air conditioner's compressor contains a refrigerant. As it works, it sends this refrigerant through the system. As warm air blows across the coil that carries this refrigerant, the heat transfers to the refrigerant (cool always absorbs warm). A fan moves the cooled air through the ducting and out of vents that lead into the rooms of your house. The refrigerant returns to the compressor where the absorbed heat is moved outside. The refrigerant is then sent through the coil once again to continue the cycle.
Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal of heat. Heat can be removed through radiation, convection, or conduction. Refrigeration conduction media such as water, air, ice, and chemicals are referred to as refrigerants. A refrigerant is employed either in a heat pump system in which a compressor is used to drive thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, or in a free cooling system which uses pumps to circulate a cool refrigerant (typically water or a glycol mix).
This company deserves more than five stars. They didn't just replace my heater and air conditioner, they built me a new system for my house. Going above and beyond is a understatement. Steve's staff were 2 of the nicest workers I've come across in a long time. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very clean. Truly a top rated company. Thanks Steve. Great job.
My point is that the brand of equipment you choose is going to affect your HVAC installation cost greatly. People often call us for an air conditioning installation job and say, “I would like to install Carrier equipment.” Now, if you are a future client of ours, I’ll have to warn you – I can be a bit of a smart-ass. Why can’t work be fun? Besides…I was in the Navy for 11 years, what do you expect.
The most recognized standards for HVAC design are based on ASHRAE data. The most general of four volumes of the ASHRAE Handbook is Fundamentals; it includes heating and cooling calculations. Each volume of the ASHRAE Handbook is updated every four years. The design professional must consult ASHRAE data for the standards of design and care as the typical building codes provide little to no information on HVAC design practices; codes such as the UMC and IMC do include much detail on installation requirements, however. Other useful reference materials include items from SMACNA, ACGIH, and technical trade journals.

Capacitors -- Capacitors help your HVAC motor start from a standstill. Over time they can weaken. As they weaken, they cause the motor to run hotter. This can shorten the life expectancy of your motor. Once a capacitor fails, the whole motor will stop working. You usually won't notice that a capacitor has weakened until your motor stops turning on.
Natural ventilation is the ventilation of a building with outside air without using fans or other mechanical systems. It can be via operable windows, louvers, or trickle vents when spaces are small and the architecture permits. In more complex schemes, warm air is allowed to rise and flow out high building openings to the outside (stack effect), causing cool outside air to be drawn into low building openings. Natural ventilation schemes can use very little energy, but care must be taken to ensure comfort. In warm or humid climates, maintaining thermal comfort solely via natural ventilation might not be possible. Air conditioning systems are used, either as backups or supplements. Air-side economizers also use outside air to condition spaces, but do so using fans, ducts, dampers, and control systems to introduce and distribute cool outdoor air when appropriate.

Whether or not central air adds value to your home depends on your location. You probably won't recoup the entire cost for the installation, as it is an expensive project that isn't as flashy as something like a new deck. But this invisible upgrade can help you sell your home if you live in a hot climate. And many buyers are willing to pay a bit more for a working AC.

Bubbie's Hearty Matzo Ball Soup
Ingredients2 h 50 m servings 410 cals
- Place chicken into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken meat is very tender and falling off the bones, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove chicken from pot and pick chicken meat from bones when cool enough to handle, discarding skin and bones. Shred chicken meat.
- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large soup pot; stir shredded chicken meat, carrots, celery, turnip, parsnips, leek, onion, and dill into broth. Turn heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir matzo ball mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup water together in a bowl. Form mixture into 1-inch balls using wet hands to prevent sticking. Return broth to a boil and gently drop matzo balls into the boiling soup. Reduce heat again and simmer soup until matzo balls have increased in size and are cooked through, about 20 more minutes.
- Cook's Note:
- You may adjust the amount of vegetables to create a soup that is more or less hearty. The soup is very flavorful as is and always tastes better the next day. Also, if you love dill, you may consider adding some to the matzo meal before forming the balls.

Space mapping based neuromodeling of high frequency circuits

MetadataShow full item record
DescriptionArtificial Neural Networks (ANN) are very convenient in modeling high-dimensional and highly nonlinear components, as those found in the microwave and high frequency arena, due to their ability to learn and generalize from data, their non-linear processing nature, and their massively parallel structure. In modeling high frequency components the learning data is usually obtained from a detailed or “fine” model (EM simulator or measurements). This is generally very time consuming because the simulation/measurements must be performed for many combinations of different values of input parameters. This is the main drawback of classical ANN modeling. Without sufficient learning samples, the neural models may not be reliable. Several innovative strategies to develop neuromodels take advantage of empirical or “coarse” models already available (circuit-equivalent models and analytical formulas). Here we describe space mapping based neuromodeling of high frequency circuits.

I have not used this space to focus on California issues because this is, after all, WorldNetDaily. However, for good or ill, California historically has introduced a wide variety of things that have become national in scope. Therefore, I want to share and/or warn the rest of the nation of the extraordinary harm about to inflicted on law-abiding California residents and a grassroots effort designed to correct the myopic arrogance of a cabal of socialist power-freaks who were actually elected to office.
Governor Gray Davis is about to sign a so-called "Assault Weapons" bill (SB23) which despite previous gubernatorial vetoes has been as persistent as athlete's foot. This legislative bouillabaisse of leftist excrement will make ANY firearm that is capable of accepting a magazine an assault weapon. The litany of egregious specifics is far too long for this column.
The bill sailed through the Democrat-controlled California Assembly and the Democrat-controlled California State Senate and is now awaiting the signature of the state's Democrat Governor.
This insidious legislation closely mirrors the tragic failure Australia implemented last year. Australia spent some half billion taxpayer dollars to confiscate and destroy a bunch of weapons. Although non-compliance was high, over 600,000 weapons were confiscated and destroyed. One year later, the results of the Australian experiment were posted. One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic .22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government over $500 million, the results suggest what California can anticipate.
Observable facts, after 12 months of data:
In May I wrote a rant for a California online service outlining a procedural tool available to stall implementation of this bad bill, which you can read by clicking here. California's Constitution provides for a "Referendum." It is a little used and very difficult tool to qualify. However, if or when the proper hurdles are jumped, and the sufficient number of valid registered voter signatures submitted, a bad bill can be put to a vote of the entire state.
Governor Gray Davis will sign SB23 -- State Sen. Don Perata's assault weapons enhancement bill -- at a dog and pony show in San Francisco today. This is an ill conceived and dangerously written piece of legislation. This law would create unacceptable restrictions for hundreds of thousands of California residents. Law-abiding citizens who refuse to comply with this over reaching government mandate (and there will be a bunch of them) would become felons. Some Californians will recall those pistol and rifle magazines holding more than ten rounds were supposed to continue to be legal because they were "grand-fathered in" if they were manufactured before the date of the legislation that banned them. Sorry, Grandpa was just eviscerated by SB 23. On the day the legislation goes into effect, you're a felon if you have one. There also is a particularly pernicious new clause which no one seems to notice, added to the California Penal Code:
A semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable
magazine and any of the following. ... (It goes on to list such features
as a pistol grip, thumbhole stock, vertical handgrip, folding or telescoping
We have the capacity and urgent need to correct this gross legislative abuse of power under the color of authority:
This is more than just a gun rights issue. This is a Bill of Rights issue. We have established a new domain vetothegovernor.org for the purpose of coordinating and managing the petition drive.
I had been most reluctant to take on this task. The big gun rights groups have been diffident to incur the wrath of Sarah Brady's hordes. My attitude is this: Law abiding gun owners and ANYONE who supports the Constitution and Bill of Rights is getting bulldozed. We are getting NOTHING from our leaders, nothing from our legislatures, and nothing from our presumed allies. I would rather get in the fight, and fight. Win if we can, or lose if we must, but at least make the gun-grabbing, liberty-eroding, freedom-hating SOBs pay some price.
This is going to be a very fast and totally grassroots effort. I have been told to form a 501-c-3 non-profit organization. I have been referred to several experienced and talented consultants and lawyers. I am not going that route. We need another 501-c-3 like a moose needs a hat rack.
To me, this is not just a Second Amendment issue. What California is doing, and what President Clinton and his co-conspirators are doing is waging war on the Bill of Rights and the very Constitution to which they swore an oath.
When an elected hypocrite swears a sacred oath to "preserve and protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic," and THEN becomes the very domestic enemy they have promised to protect us from, then they are at best guilty of fraud, or perjury -- at worst, they are deserving of our contempt and abandonment.
the framers signed the Declaration of Independence, they wrote, "And for
the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection
of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor." Don't we who have so benefited from their sacrifices
owe them, our country, and our children at least some token of our respect?
Our lives are terminal. Our fortunes fleeting. But to those who still embrace
honor, that is as infinite and sacred as our souls.

Playing time outlook: safety
Safety rotation pattern: With last season's starting FS Ahmad Brooks lost to graduation and former starting SS Nathan Vasher moved to corner, UT's safety spots will be occupied largely by new faces, although the return of one veteran from a spring academic hiatus bolsters the experience level and changes the PT outlook substantially. Dakarai Pearson, a strong contributor and 10-game starter at FS as a redshirt freshman in '00 before the '01 emergence of Brooks at the position, missed spring but will report with the vets on Aug. 8 and should retake the starting role occupied during spring by redshirt freshmen Kendal Briles and Rufus Harris. Although Briles and Harris both showed flashes of brilliance, neither looked prepared to start in the fall and play at a championship level. The experienced Pearson should see the majority of the game-on-the-line snaps at free safety, with Briles and Harris getting spot duty as they learn the intricacies of the position. One classmate of Briles and Harris demonstrated in spring the ability to play at a very high level. Cedric Griffin earned the strong safety start -- of late the path to playing time for young corners -- while Michael Huff also proved capable of playing at a relatively high level. Both Griffin and Huff fit the mold Duane Akina and Carl Reese are looking for at the position -- a corner-type who has the physical ability to play safety -- and Griffin, and to a lesser extent Huff, should see plenty of PT. Whether those two split the vast majority of snaps or something less depends on the performance of Phillip Geiggar, who like Pearson missed spring ball for academic reasons. The junior two-letter winner is experienced, but he doesn't have the corner skills that the younger guys at the position possess, and that could keep him on the bench more than on the field. True freshman PT? Doubtful, with Matthew Melton the only incoming contestant.

A woman who formerly worked as an occupational therapy assistant for Aegis Therapies, Inc., a subsidiary of Beverly Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: BEV), has gotten the go-ahead from a federal judge in St. Paul, Minn. to begin gathering evidence to support her allegations that her former company has been submitting false Medicare and Medicaid claims for years, reports the Star Tribune.
The whistleblower is Ricia Johnson, who used to work for Aegis Therapies, the nation’s largest nursing home operator and contract physical therapy company, at Golden LivingCenter-Hillcrest of Wayzata.
It’s uncertain how much money’s at stake. If the case is limited to alleged billings at Hillcrest, it could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. But if the plaintiffs are allowed to pursue similar allegations at the defendants’ other facilities nationwide, it could be many times that, said Jonathan Bye, an attorney with Linquist & Vennum in Minneapolis representing the plaintiffs.
Johnson and her current employer, Health Dimensions Rehabilitation, filed the case on behalf of the government, but if they’re successful they would stand to share in any judgment.
The defendants are represented by Tom Heffelfinger, a former U.S. attorney for Minnesota who now heads the white-collar criminal and regulatory defense practice at Best & Flanagan. He declined to comment on the suit, but said his clients will vigorously defend themselves against what he called “meritless allegations.”
Aegis would bill the government for services that weren’t actually being provided, according to Johnson’s allegations, reports the Star Tribune. It would also bill for group therapy that didn’t qualify for reimbursement. The suit further alleges that the company engaged in similar practices at several other locations.

Be it startups or salaried persons, most people are faced with certain challenges when it comes to managing taxes. Most of us know the basics of it but only a few of us are actually conscious about the nitty-gritties and the best practices.
As a consequence, there is a common misconception among taxpayers that once TDS or advance tax has been paid, the filing of returns is not a very important exercise. However, it is essential to know, you have an unfinished job at hand until you have filed your tax returns. It is in fact our constitutional obligation to file returns at a stipulated time of the year. Continue reading “Income Tax Return (ITR) Filing”

Nutrients – action plan for better management
Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are essential elements for life and an important natural resource. Human activities have significantly altered natural cycles of nutrients, which continue to be lost along the entire food chain, negatively impacting human health, the environment and the economy.
In Europe, surplus nitrogen and phosphorus in the environment is reportedly exceeding safe planetary boundaries. This represents a severe threat to nature and to the Earth’s climate. The overall environmental costs of all nutrient pollution in Europe are estimated at €70– €320 billion per year.
Long-standing EU legislation has sought to tackle nutrient pollution in water, air and industrial emissions. However, harmful pollution levels for human health and the environment still exist due notably to shortcomings in specific legislation and to significant issues in implementing the legislation. It may also be due to the lack of an integrated approach on nutrient pollution encompassing air, water, soil and climate.
The European Commission has therefore launched a public consultation on an Integrated Nutrient Management Action Plan. This is an opportunity to consider nutrient cycles globally and provide a holistic and sustainable approach to nutrient management.
The initiative will develop a framework for action needed at all levels (EU, national, regional) in order to achieve the objectives set in the EU Biodiversity Strategy and Farm to Fork Strategy. It is also aimed at achieving the European Green Deal‘s 2030 target of reducing nutrient losses by 50%, which will entail reducing the use of fertilisers by at least 20%.
The Plan will look at the entire nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. It will cover all environmental media (air, water, marine and soil) and all relevant sources of pollution (e.g. agriculture, industry, urban, waste, energy, transport). It will identify policy gaps for a more coherent and integrated approach to reducing pollution throughout the nutrient cycles.
This public consultation will help the Commission draw on the experience of farmers, industries, civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and citizens how to identify the main drivers of nutrient pollution and ways to address it as well as stimulate markets for recovered nutrients.
All relevant stakeholders, are invited to partake in this online consultation and provide their input by August 26, 2022.

Fans invited to be in Lady Gaga's new movie
LADY Gaga performed as Beyonce's Coachella replacement this year and the singer used her headline act to announce a number of big reveals.
Not only did she drop a new song The Cure, the singer also revealed via Instagram she is heading to the big screen to star in her first movie, A Star Is Born.
And, for fans wanting to be in the movie, Lady Gaga is giving them the opportunity, albeit as part of a massive crowd.
The singer posted an ad looking for extras to be a part of concert scenes while Gaga films on actual Coachella stages.
The scenes will be shot at Indio's Empire Polo Club week.
Tickets cost $US10 with all of the proceeds going to Gaga's Born This Way Foundation.
The invitation encourages Gaga's fans, affectionately known as Little Monsters, to "get decked out in your most comfortable denim and boots, throw on a Stetson (leave those pink Joanne hats at home) and come out to show your support!"
The scenes are also completely restricting phone use with attendees having to lock them in a Yondr pouch, a privacy pouch that stops them from opening it while in the "phone free space".
A Star Is Born will feature Bradley Cooper in the lead role and will also be the actor's directorial debut.
Gaga, who is going by her real name Stefani Germanotta for the movie, will play a young singer who becomes famous with the help of Cooper's character as his own career declines.
The movie is slated for release in September next year.

Every other day, there’s always grounds to celebrate and much more good reasons to party, and whether you are partying hard with friends or using a family get-together, food which too plenty of it, reaches the epicenter. But the problem is if you are well on a weight loss diet, such as on Rati Beauty, and also have seen a considerable stop by kgs on the weighing scale, jeopardizing everything progress by hitting the party scene can be a nightmare. If you have to hit the party shindig over the coming couple of days and also have lost your sleep on how to avoid food cravings and remain away delicious goodies for example pizza, cheese balls, and all those sweets, don’t fret, we're here to assist regarding how to party hard without going overboard. Don’t think about becoming a social pariah just because you are trying to lose some extra fat – enjoy and also have a gala time with your family and friends without feeling guilty how everything unhealthy food has derailed your diet. Because the food at parties is usually full of calories, unhealthy fat, and loads of sugar, it’s very difficult to count calories and show restraint around delicious food. And amid distractions and chatter, it’s extremely possible to overeat and fall into a calorie surplus, resulting in weight gain. In this article, we share some tips for sticking with unwanted weight loss diet while partying.
14 Tips for Sticking to unwanted weight Loss Diet While Partying:
1. Don’t Reach the Party Hungry and Famished: Don’t save all of your calories till the end during the day since your body doesn’t work just like a bank, and when you decide to go the party after fasting for the whole day, you'd most likely show gluttony and gulp down all the food that’s available. Also, it doesn’t help the weight loss cause that most parties run late in to the night. Stay with regular meal and snack schedules, and eat an apple, banana or other low-glycemic fruit (look into the list here) before you go to the party. Have an apple with peanut butter or perhaps a slice of whole-wheat toast with almond butter. A tub of unflavoured Greek yogurt will also do.
2. Consume a High-Protein Snack Before you go to the Party: Using a high-protein snack Fifteen minutes before you go to the party will keep you satiated for long hours. Protein will make you full and there would hardly be any room for everything that's there on the table. By including a protein-rich diet, you boost satiety hormones and the hunger hormones in check, which implies that you'll be less likely to binge and eat extra calories.
3. Look for Protein-Based Dishes: Since protein and fiber helps keep you full for long, look for protein-based dishes in the spread, grilled chicken, tofu, paneer based dishes, are some examples that people can consider at this time.
4. Search for Healthy Options: Fresh fruits, vegetables, brown rice, are a few healthy options to fill your plate. Totally avoid processed and deep fried food.
5. Chew Slowly: Eating slowly can prevent you from overeating. When you eat slowly, you will find less chances that you'll drop out of calorie deficit, and this way, you will feel full within Twenty minutes.
6. Get a Small Plate to Serve Yourself: Make it a rule never to overfill the plate with food. Pick up a little plate, most preferably an 8-inch plate or lesser. Also, drink beverages from tall and narrow glasses.
7. Move Away from the Buffet Table: In the party scene, stay away from the food station. It’s easy to lose all of the perseverence when encompassed by delicious food which too inside a social gathering.
8. Don’t Pick Sugary Loves the start: Sugary things not only taste delicious, they can provide a quick energy boost, but following the initial boost, the following drop in blood sugar, can get you hungry in no time, increasing cravings for additional food.
9. Try Water Preloading: Drink plenty of water at the party, to keep yourself hydrated and also to feel fuller so that there’s little room for unhealthy food. Arrived at think of it, water has zero calories, healthy, and won't bring your weight up. On water preloading in this post.
10. Make a Pact together with your Friend: If you're partying with friends, create a pact and among your friends to prevent you from overindulging and overeating. You can thank your friend with a surprise gift if he/she succeeds.
11. Begin with a Plate of Salad: If it’s possible, begin with a bowl or plate of salad, it’s self explanatory!
12. Bottled Water instead of Sodas: Water has zero calories whereas sodas and aerated beverages have loads of empty calories that may result in putting on weight.
13. Avoid Cocktails: Much like soft drinks, alcohol is also about empty calories, but when you have to drink, achieve this from the tall and narrow glass, and limit alcohol consumption.
14. Gnaw on a Sugar-Free Gum: Chewing on a minty, sugar-free gum has multiple benefits – the chewing motion can function on the jaw muscles and assist in reducing double chin, additionally, it may keep appetite in check, prevent you from overeating, as well as keep breath fresh and minty constantly.

Edited by Lynn Stegner
Penguin Books, New York, 2002
The tough gentle spirit of a real teacher and master of his art is evident in this collection of eight essays. Moving the reader along in long hypnotizing sentences, I compare the writing style to being carried downstream on intelligent water that knows exactly where it’s going whether the sailor does or not. There is empathy and sympathy for the new and struggling writer, but just as in strong high running water, the reader shouldn’t expect to be coddled with assurance there will ever be success in where he’s going.
Stegner’s subjects cover ground writers face today that they did fifty years ago. The following sentence could have been in the article I read a few months ago in Poets and Writers: “The worst writing classes with which I have had any experience have been the soft ones–the mutual admiration societies in which whatever is said, if it is said well, is right.” A sentence that is well aimed at both students and teachers, it underlines Stegner’s constant striving in his work as well as a persistent call to his students.
Different than many of the how-to write books on the market today, an abiding rule of Stegner’s is the writer must dig deep within the self to develop a personal style. That’s mouthed today, but then quickly followed up by homilies such as “show, don’t tell,” and “your turning point needs to be ten pages earlier”. Instead, he reviews the conversation between Thomas Wolfe and F. Scott Fitzgerald who argued between themselves about being a “great putter-inner” and a “leaver-outer”.
Written for the serious writer who wants to improve his writing though no one may ever read it, Stegner seems to be leaning against the barn with his arms comfortably folded, a cowboy hat hiding sardonic eyes and a slight smile on his lips that say, “Well, little partner, now that you know the truth, you still want to ride that herd?”

If I had to choose my favorite one dish dinner, this may just be the one. I was introduced to this recipe and to the pleasure of fennel many years ago in a cooking class I took with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, who until last year was co-host of the popular Splendid Table radio show. As a young enthusiastic cook I had the opportunity to spend six weeks with Lynne studying the basics of cooking and I credit her for giving me a strong foundation in the culinary arts.
The original recipe for this dish calls for rabbit and although I have eaten it various times in Italy, I’ve yet to prepare it myself. I’m a big fan of chicken thighs and the long roasting results in a meat that is falling off the bone.
I have made many a convert to fennel with this dish. If you’ve tasted raw fennel you know that it has a very distinct licorice-like taste. It is crisp and so flavorful and I love it dipped in a little coarse salt. When roasted with olive oil it becomes meltingly tender and its flavor mellows out and it hardly resembles its original form. Along with roasted onions and garlic, the fennel is a wonderful counterpoint to the roasted meat. Each bite is better than the next and I’ve yet to serve this dish to anyone who wasn’t thrilled by it. If you happen to have fennel pollen in your pantry go ahead and sprinkle some over the chicken and the vegetables.
Pollo Al Forno Con Finnochio
(Chicken Roasted With Sweet Fennel)
8 bone in chicken thighs
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1 branch fresh rosemary (about 1 inch), chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 bulbs fresh fennel (I like to use more), cored and cut into wedges
1 large onion, cut into wedges
3 ounces pancetta, minced
3 cloves garlic, split
1 teaspoon fennel seed, coarsely ground
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh fennel leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup stock
Make a paste of 1 clove garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper and rub over chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least a few hours, but better if you do it the night before.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the meat in a roasting pan (large enough to hold meat and vegetables in a single layer). Scatter the vegetables and garlic around the meat, and add fennel seed, pancetta and fennel tops. Sprinkle with olive oil. Roast 1/2 hour, basting often with juices. Pour in the wine and roast for about an hour, basting often and turning pieces. Add a little water if the juices are drying up. Lynne’s recipe calls for turning the oven to 450 for 15 minutes but I’ve never felt the need to do that. My chicken always seems to have a nice brown color and I think more time would dry it out a little. Maybe with rabbit, the extra time would be better.
Remove meat and vegetables from pan. Quickly make a sauce by setting roasting pan over burners and adding wine and stock. Scrape up the brown bits from the pan, boil liquid down to about half, pour into a small pitcher and serve with meat. Many times I forgo the sauce and just scrape everything form the pan onto the meat when serving!

Well…I had fennel bulbs and chicken thighs in my fridge…so am attempting a version of this tonight (without the marinating time as I can’t wait that long 🙂 Smells wonderful in here as I just popped it into the oven…will let you know how it comes out. Thanks for the inspiration, was wondering what to do with the beautiful fennel bulbs I couldn’t resist buying the other day.

Eatbetea-I have to admit that I’ve had to forget about the marinating time more than once and it’s still delicious-enjoy!

I loved listening to that radio show and am sorry it’s no longer on the air. I have been a big fennel fan for a long time – raw or cooked – and make an Ottolenghi recipe with chicken, fennel and clementines. I love the idea of making this with rabbit – something I cook at least once or twice during the winter.
January 15, 2018 at 12:31 am
Linda-I think the show is still on but Lynne has left it. She was a wonderful cook to learn from. She really inspired me when I was just starting to get serious in the kitchen.

(Note: this post was originally published on January 5, 2020. The date above reflects migration to the new platform.)
This is the second post in a series that I'm calling "Cauliflower is Bar Food". My mission: to take classic bar fare and reinvent it with cauliflower. The first was my Margarita Cauliflower, which is roasted in tequila and kissed with citrus. Up for today: Cauliflower Poutine!
Some of you are probably asking "what the heck is poutine??". It's actually a classic late-night snack from Quebec, Canada, but it has made its way down to Vermont (and elsewhere in New England). The premise is simple: fries smothered in gravy and cheese curds. Refer to the movie Super Troopers if you need an example (and if you want to poke fun at my home state).
Given that I haven't eaten meat in almost 25 years, I've actually never had poutine, and this makes me upset! I feel like I've been missing out. So my mission became to remake poutine in a way that is still super satisfying and indulgent, but more nourishing to the body than the original, and that is vegetarian and easily vegan.
My version of poutine has the same three elements, albeit with some twists. Instead of fries, I'm using roasted cauliflower. Instead of classic gravy, I'm using a vegan kabocha squash "gravy". I've kept the cheese curds since I'm a good Vermonter, but you can easily veganize this recipe by leaving off the cheese curds or using your favorite vegan cheese.
This cauliflower poutine has all the makings of the perfect bar food. It's rich, caramelized, salty, and indulgent. The curds are creamy and so decadent. The kabocha squash gravy is loaded with flavor and has the smoothest texture.
One important note. This recipe makes a lot of kabocha squash gravy, since a kabocha squash is generally pretty big. You can easily freeze any extra and use it on anything that would benefit from a creamy sauce (or, let's be honest, next Friday's cauliflower poutine date night, which seems to be becoming a thing in our house). You can also easily make the gravy ahead of time, which will allow you to pull the dish together more quickly on the day of.
Here's what you'll need for this recipe, as well as some thoughts, tips, and possible substitutions. If you make any substitutions, I'd love to hear about it in the comments section below.
I think I've made this three or four times in the past couple months; we're obsessed. It's the most wonderful winter Friday night food. Come home after a long week, make a cocktail to sip on while you cook, and then reward yourself with the most decadent bar food that won't leave you feeling weighed-down afterward.
Cheers! Cauliflower is bar food!

A much better-for-the-body version of the classic, this poutine riff uses cauliflower instead of fries and a kabocha squash gravy. It's plant-filled, can be vegan with one minor modification, and is just as satisfying as the original.
Did you make this recipe? Did you make substitutions? How did you serve it? Any helpful tips? Please share your thoughts, since these insights are really useful to both me and to other readers.
I love to create colorful, veggie-filled, seasonal dishes that celebrate the beauty and diversity of plants. Take a look around at all my favorite recipes, there's so much to explore here!

While he’s in a cast of many in Katy Perry’s slapstick clip about a bumbling basketball team for her “Swish Swish” single, he takes on a much bigger role in the clip from former “Glee” star Darren Criss’ band Computer Games, “Lost Boys Life.” Directed by Mia Elan, the video incorporates live shots from Computer Games’ show at L.A.’s Teragram Ballroom. As a press release says, Matarazzo stars “as the conflicted lost boy, navigating through his somewhat mundane life.” (See both videos below.)
“I had a blast performing with Darren at Elsie Fest last year,” said Matarazzo. “That was the first time we had ever met and instantly became buddies. When he sent me the treatment to Computer Games’ music video, I was like – rock on! I’m in!”
Criss’ brother Chuck, who is also in the band, said, “We’re both huge fans of ‘Stranger Things,’” said Chuck. “The song shares many of the same 80’s electronica influences that can be heard throughout the series.”
“It was always going to be Gaten,” said Criss. “We wrote the entire treatment around him. Thank God he said yes, because otherwise it probably would have just been me, running around in a silly wig, trying to be Gaten.”
The band released their “Lost Boys Life” EP in March. The two brothers have played music together since high school but put the band on hold for a decade, reviving it recently.


Seth MacFarlane’s Ted was a huge success last year, and went on to become one of the biggest R-rated comedies of all time. It was inevitable that a sequel would happen, and while rumours have been flying around, Wahlberg has now confirmed that he and his sweary, angry Teddy bear pal will be back to cause more mayhem.
Wahlberg recently appeared on US TV show, Anderson Live, to promote his new film, Broken City. Naturally he was asked about the Ted sequel, which was first talked about back in September. Here is what the actor said:
“There is a Ted 2,” says Wahlberg. “We’ve already locked a deal and they’re off writing now. I’ve never done a sequel before but I just have so much confidence in Seth. he’s such a talented, funny guy.”
There is also some more good news for fans of Ted, and again Wahlberg confirmed this on the show. Both Ted and Wahlberg will be appearing at this years Oscars ceremony, thanks in no small part to the fact Seth MacFarlane is hosting. The Oscars usually have a CGI moment based on a popular film, and this year they are taking a big risk by having these two appear. Can Ted possibly hold back on his bad language when nervous and faced with millions of viewers?
Wahlberg told the show “Actually, because Seth is hosting, Ted and I will be appearing at the Oscars,” Naturally Ted has a way of dealing with the stress of such a big event, and on the TV show it was mentioned that Ted might need to smoke something before going on stage, and Wahlberg joked “He can’t do it without it…It’s mandatory.”
Check out the video next.

Soldiers in Yarmouk carry stolen goods to awaiting trucks. Source: Damascus Voice
On May 21, after a month of fighting between government forces and the Islamic State (IS), Syrian troops reentered Yarmouk Camp, one of the final areas of Southern Damascus that had been outside of government control. The return of Syrian troops was accompanied by widespread reports of looting. Local news sites and social media users shared videos and images of Syrian government soldiers stealing valuable appliances, including refrigerators and washing machines, from private homes, many of which had been evacuated during the fighting. The looting was so wide-spread that Russian forces arrested several government soldiers accused of theft (though the Syrian government denied that those arrested were affiliated with the army). Such reports have regularly accompanied transfers of power during the Syrian conflict, perhaps the most infamous example being the looting of the city of Afrin by Turkish-backed Syrian rebel fighters. While discussion of property theft in Syria often focuses on immovable property, namely land, homes and businesses, such looting of businesses and private homes can also have devastating economic consequences. Theft by armed groups, referred to as pillage under international law, is illegal under customary international law and the practice can stow fear among already terrorized civilian populations. However, tracking ownership rights to private property stolen during conflict is extremely complicated, making this a crime that is difficult to address through transitional justice mechanisms.
Under international law, looting is referred to as pillage and is defined as theft of property by an invading army. While an armed group can legally take possession of a retreating army’s military supplies, such as ammunition, often referred to colloquially as ‘the spoils of war,’ rules around non-military government property are much more complicated, and under no circumstances can an armed group steal from private citizens. Pillaging is prohibited under customary international law and has regularly been prohibited by international treaties and codes of military conduct, including the Geneva Convention, Additional Protocol II and the International Criminal Court (ICC) Statute.
While the legal status of pillage is clear cut, seeking accountability for the crime can be difficult. There have been some cases of perpetrators convicted of pillage as a war crime under international law. For example, in March 2016 the ICC convicted the former vice-president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Jean-Pierre Bemba of war crimes and crimes against humanity for the murder, rape and pillage carried out under his command. The court concluded that these crimes were part of the normal operating procedures of the militia which Bemba commanded, and that he was aware of their crimes both before and during their actions and did not attempt to prevent them. Such prosecutions could one day be possible in Syria, if it becomes clear that the armed groups that have participated in looting were operating with the knowledge and support of their commanders. However, considering the breadth and severity of crimes committed during the conflict in Syria, prosecuting individual, low-level soldiers for acts of pillage will most likely not be a priority in any future justice processes. A recent report by Carnegie, which included extensive discussions with Syrian refugees about their perspectives on justice, noted that refugees felt that amnesty would be acceptable for lesser crimes, including theft.
While holding individuals accountable for looting may not be a priority for Syrians, financial restitution for property loss is a more serious concern. Looting can have devastating consequences. Looters in Syria have been known to steal the copper wires out of the walls, and completely strip businesses of expensive machinery, eliminating owners’ livelihoods. While the issue of restitution for land has recently been receiving wider attention, with many organizations reporting on the implications of the newly issued law 10, the loss of movable property is much more difficult to address. Returning property to the rightful owners requires tracking stolen goods, an extremely complex task. Stolen property can quickly be removed from a neighborhood and sold, possibly changing hands multiple times within a few days of the theft. While there have been cases of property being returned, this is a task that is much easier to undertake directly after a theft, and not as part of a justice process months or years after the fact. Providing financial reparations based on the specific property loss would also be difficult, as many owners will not have any documentation of ownership for movable property, or proof that a particular piece of property is no longer in their possession. Even if schemes were created to attempt restitution or reparation of this kind, a massive amount of resources would be necessary in order to track down stolen goods and verify individual claims.
The most effective way to address the economic loss of looting may be through broader reparation programs, which could cover neighborhoods that experienced looting as well as those that experienced destruction as a direct result of fighting. Even before the recent looting, much of Yarmouk has been flattened, and many property owners will need extensive resources to rebuild, whether or not they were targeted by looters. When designing future reparations and reconstruction support for such neighborhoods, a wide variety of financial losses incurred as a result of the conflict, including but not limited to looting, should be considered.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A 100-year-old building in downtown Montgomery is expected to be turned into hotel.
The wedge-shaped Bishop-Parker building across from Riverwalk Stadium will be turned into a Springhill Suites hotel, the Montgomery Advertiser (http://on.mgmadv.com/2dd7ZW6) reported. Developers plan to spend $14 million on the project.
Renovation work will start near the end of the year and take about 14 months. One of the developers says the exterior will remain mostly untouched to keep the building’s “historic charm” to balance the “modern and urban feel.”
“This will not be your typical hotel room,” said developer John Tampa, who owns four other hotels in Montgomery. “It will be more an experience. It will take you back in the past and the golden age of this building, and also take you to the present.”
Schloss & Kahn Wholesale Grocers built the building was built between 1905 and 1907. Bishop-Parker used the space as a furniture store and warehouse for two decades. The building has about 80,000 square feet of space and ceilings up to 16 to 17 feet high.
Bishop-Parker, which was founded in 1923, has vacated the building.
Montgomery mayor Todd Strange said the announcement of the Springhill hotel is the third project in downtown. The most recent announcement was a $12.5 million hotel project for a former skate park site in June.
“They know the more hotel rooms we get, the bigger the conventions can be,” Strange said.
More than 900 hotel rooms currently open downtown, said Dawn Hathcock of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce.

After the song, the maestro assumed the role of a conductor and performed the composition together with Khatia for the second time.
Who is Khati Buniatisvilli’s role model?
Even with her success in the field of music khatia prefers not to be regarded as a child prodigy: virtuosity for its own sake does not appeal to her. Above all, she embraces pianists from earlier generations such as Rachmaninoff, Richter, and Gould. She admires her “favorite pianist”, Martha Argerich, for her uniqueness and, as a consequence, does not view Argerich as someone she should try to emulate.
Khatia’s thoughts about critics
The pianist regards herself as “wholly a person of the 20th century”, Khatia does not identify so much with the pianists of today. Khatia’s warm, sometimes sorrowful playing may reflect close proximity to Georgian folk music, which, she attests, has greatly influenced her musicality.
Critics emphasize that her playing has an aura of elegant solitude and even melancholy, which she does not feel to be a negative attribute. “The piano is the blackest instrument,” she says, a “symbol of musical solitude”, which even a pianist must become accustomed to. “I have to be psychologically strong and forget the hall if I want to share it with the audience.”
The Georgian pianist has a very beautiful and charming appearance. Buniastivili’s height is 6 feet 0 inches tall and she looks tall when standing with her friends. Though she is a little tall as compared to her friends still she manages to maintain her weight.
Her weight is around 68KG and she always exercises to maintain that. She loves to do exercises regularly and also tells others to do that. She has short wavy black hair with a fair complexion and her dark-colored eyes give her a mesmerizing beauty through which she captures the heart of the audience.
Is the artist active on Social Media?
Social media, especially platforms like Twitter and Facebook, get bad press, but it is also a force for good, which offers musicians opportunities to create meaningful interactions with other musicians, connect with potential and existing audiences, and promote their work.
With just a brief tweet or single post on Facebook or Instagram, you have the potential to reach hundreds of thousands, even millions of people via a vast virtual audience. The pianist is also active on social media @Khatiabuniatishvili is her official Instagram page and @khatia Buniatishvili is her official Facebook page where she gives her fans some sneak peek of her concerts and tour. She engages a lot with the audience and shares her feelings through the music.

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on an issue i'm having, I've got a Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pro Access point, this is connected via POE to a small 8 port POE switch which is then connected to a 24 port switch for the bulk of my network devices.
I recently upgraded firmware on my AP to the latest version (188.8.131.5237) After doing so, when i try and upload a file to my NAS it always fails, Giving me an error of:
"The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “filename” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)"
However if i switch over to my backup wifi (Airport extreme - connected to the 24 port switch) i'm able to upload absoloutly fine. I've also tested with other clients and get the same issue, so i can only assume that there's some issue with the new firmware, Does anyone else have this issue, or is there something basic that i'm missing? Any thoughts or ideas would be great!
My clients are Mac OSX based, The NAS is a Synology DS1815+ connecting via SMB.
11-29-2017 01:34 PM - edited 11-29-2017 01:35 PM
I doubt this is related to the AP firmware, but you can easily confirm by downgrading to whatever you used before and testing again.
First thing I would look at are file permissions. Your clients always keep the same IP address, no matter which AP they use (UBNT or Apple)?
Why did you call this topic "network speed issue"?
11-30-2017 12:18 AM
Unfortunatly i know my AP was running quite a few firmware releases behind and therefore not sure which one to roll back to.
I doubt it's a file permissions issue as when connected via the UBNT it won't copy a file at all, when connected via the Apple AP i'm able to copy the exact same file to the same location as i tried via UBNT. All my clients are on a static IP.
I called this topic "Internal network speed issue" as thats what it seems to be, When connecting to the internet i don't seem to have any issues (i can run speed test and they seem to show the speeds i expect), but any local/internal network connections seem to be reduced or not working correctly.
11-30-2017 01:48 AM
I've not tried that as the 24 port isn't POE capable. It's just odd that it started happening after upgrading the firmware, I'll try rolling it back and starting from there again.


The arrests of Partha Chatterjee and Anubrata Mondal — both Trinamool Congress heavyweights — has jolted the Mamata Banerjee-led party, which is now looking at a massive rejig in almost all the blocks of every district to present a ‘clean image’.
The party’s national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, is holding meetings with leaders of every district for the past 15 days. Banerjee has met leaders of most North Bengal and Western districts. Reshuffle in Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling has already taken place.
TMC sources say the party has already carried out a block-by-block review and is trying to chart out the do’s and don’ts with every district for the 2023 panchayat elections.
The TMC has already changed district presidents wherever needed and now, each wing of the district organisation will go for a major overhaul.
Chalking out the “features” of leadership in each district, sources told News18 that the first priority will be to ensure that people with a clean image get posts in districts. In the youth, student, women and trade union wings, faces that are clean and credible will be given space to rebuild the TMC’s image.
Second, the new district teams will run in coordination. Factional fights and lobbying have always been the TMC’s bane and now, a system will be generated where the district president and other branch organisations will work in coordination. Each block will have its own team which will lay emphasis on coordination.
The third area of focus will be Tribals and in places with majority ‘Adivasi’ demography, leaders who truly represent the masses will be given responsibility.
Emphasising that work would speak for itself, Abhishek Banerjee recently told the cadre: “Don’t lobby with leaders. That will not help. Do your work and the party will recognise you.”
In a recent meeting, he added: “There is no ‘my person’ anywhere. Common people are ‘my person’. If somebody comes and says he is my person, don’t believe him.”
For the TMC, the main focus now is cleaning up its tarnished image. This includes changes at the leadership level as well as asking its cadre to refrain from violence during panchayat polls.
Only time will tell how successful the party’s venture will be.
