Ganesh Venkatraman, who’s awaiting the release of and 7 Naatkal, understands that an actor is only as good as his last film. That’s why he says he tries to better himself with every project. “I try to pick scripts that are interesting.
I think cinema should be a reflection of what’s happening in society, which is why I am looking forward to the release of Inayathalam, in which I play the role of a special investigator,” he says.
He elaborates about the film: “It is about a cyber-cell team that cracks a complicated case. Cyber crime is on the rise with all the advancement in technology. For instance, when there’s an open WiFi network, we use it without a second thought.
Only after I got on board for this film did I get to know how risky that is. Not many know that using public WiFi can cause a huge threat to private details.”
In 7 Naatkal, the actor will sport a salt-and-pepper look. “It’s a different character and I play Prabhu sir’s adopted son,” he says.
Ganesh is also excited about his Bollywood debut, Guns Of Banaras, the official Hindi remake of Polladhavan. “I play the role, which was essayed by Daniel Balaji in the original. The script has been tweaked to match the sensibilities of the Hindi audience. I’d say this is my best performance till date. I had to get a tan, grow a beard, and get a tattoo of an aghori Baba on my arms. There’s also a scar across my cheeks to hide my dimples,” he smiles.
When the director Shekhar Suri told him about his character, Ganesh knew he wanted to do it. “I haven’t played a rugged gangster like this before. But what’s more challenging was speaking Hindi in the UP slang.” Incidentally, Guns Of Banaras was the last film of the late Vinod Khanna. “I think I am quite fortunate to have bagged it. He and I had conversations about Chennai, Varanasi and cinema in general. He also shared his memories about the city with me,” he tells us.

Map, list or press release of "under construction", "planned" and "proposed" towers?
Is there some website I can go to where I can obtain a map or list of towers that are currently under construction?. I have been reading all the buzz about AT&T's expansion and plan to build 2,000 cell sites this year (2009). The rep the other day told me that a new site was being constructed 3 miles from where we live and I'd like to be able to see a map of it or at least read a press release or something. I was able to locate some info on AT&T's news site but nothing matching the location where the rep told me the new tower was currently being constructed.

Will Grand Theft Auto V become available on the PC and is there a chance that Grand Theft Auto Online for the PC will be an MMO? Let's take a look.
Those of us in the MMO industry love to theorize things, especially when major AAA game launches happen like Grand Theft Auto 5. Open world sandboxes like GTA 5 allow players to openly explore the world and sort of pick their own adventure, something the MMO industry emulates to a degree with games like The Secret World. Games like All Points Bulletin give the illusion of following the GTA open world sandbox mechanic, but use clever UI tricks to copy the artistic style more so than the gameplay.
The interesting thing about GTA 5 is that there is no PC launch, nor is there any record of one ever appearing. Major gaming news outlets have been working desperately to get a release date out of Rockstar and so far there is nothing but some PC preorders popping up on various versions of Amazon at random. What corrolation does this have to MMOs? Well
There is a small chance that GTA 5 may release to the PC in MMO form. Right now, GTA 5 comes with a neat second version of the game called GTA Online which opens up in October. It uses the same world and engine as GTA 5, but allows up to 16 (or 32 depending on who you talk to) players to play a persistent version of GTA 5.
Hrm, persistent. Where have we heard that before? Oh, thats right, the definition of an MMO to many people is a massively multiplayer online game that incorporate a persistent world, ala World of Warcraft. If Rockstar is building out an engine that allows 16 to 32 players to play online persistently and they are delaying the PC launch, which is inevitable, then what kind of conclusion can we make?
Is it possible that theyre looking at making an actual MMO version of GTA 5 due to the delay on releasing to the PC? I think so, I really do. I think there are two options going on here. The first is that the PC delay is because they want a second wind in marketing. They delay the PC version until either the holidays or into next year and get a second round to promote their game throughout the media.
The other alternative is that GTA 5 and GTA Online is leading into an MMO version of GTA. It could work out that purchasing GTA 5 allows you access to a large persistent version of GTA or it could be its very own spin off, either way the chances are there.
Why do you ask? Well, lets be honest, who doesnt love the chance to charge micropayments and with the GTA Online system incorporating custom character creation / vehicle modification / etc. there is a wide open world for charging players for services. It might not even be super huge persistent worlds. Maybe itll be like APB with 100 players to a map and that might be what the delay is, there will be multiple copies of the world and youll switch channels or servers between them, but on a much larger scale than the consoles. Instead of 16 maybe itll be 100 players or 1000 players per map.
Then again, the delay of GTA 5 for the PC could just come down to marketing and I might be a raving lunatic for thinking otherwise. Delaying the PC release just means that they get a second round of reviews and hype for the game, which synergies well once the console game takes a hit in its price around the holidays.
I do have hope though that at some point we will get a GTA like experience wrapped up in an MMO. APB is nowhere near a true GTA experience, its simply a capture the flag / king of the hill style third person shooter that allows multiple games to go on during the same map. Id actually compare TSW to GTA far quicker then I would APB. In TSW you basically walk around taking missions from whoever you want and do whatever you desire.
Do you think that GTA 5 will become a GTA MMO? Let us know in the comments section below.

10 Hygiene Tips from Your Periodontist to manage periodontal disease
- Cleaning between the teeth is critical! This is where bacterial biofilm stagnates and we commonly see periodontal disease developing. Make this your first priority when cleaning.
- Bend the bristle brush on your interdental brush to be at 90 degrees to the handle for easier access.
- Don’t forget to use the interdental brush around the back surface of your last tooth in each set of teeth.
- You don’t need to use toothpaste on interdental brushes.
- When flossing, make sure you are rubbing the floss on the tooth surface, not just the space between the teeth.
- You should see your floss just disappear under the gum around each tooth.
- Tooth brush the most trickiest areas to reach first. This is commonly the lower molars, on the sides facing your tongue.
- Only tooth brush each surface of the tooth for two seconds at a time, before moving to the next tooth.
- Focus the tooth brush bristles along the gum line of the tooth.
- When flossing implants, make sure you wrap the floss 360 degrees around the implant.

Congressman Andy Biggs has recently called for President Joe Biden to be impeached over his handling of the border invasion. The Arizona Republican believes that Biden’s lack of action to stop the influx of illegal immigrants and the inhumane conditions of the detention facilities is grounds for impeachment.
Biggs, who is the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, made the call during an appearance on the Steve Bannon War Room: Pandemic podcast. He argued that the Biden administration’s response to the border crisis has been inadequate and has caused suffering for those seeking asylum. He said that the president should be held accountable for his inaction and that impeachment is the only way to do it.
The congressman also accused the Biden administration of using the border crisis as a political tool. He argued that the administration has been using the influx of immigrants as a way to push its own agenda, while ignoring the needs of those seeking asylum.
Biggs believes that the Biden administration is not doing enough to address the humanitarian crisis that is occurring at the border. He argued that the president needs to take immediate action to address the situation, including providing better access to resources, increasing the number of beds in detention facilities, and ensuring that those seeking asylum are treated humanely.
The congressman’s call for impeachment has been met with both support and criticism. Some argue that the president should not be impeached for his handling of the border crisis, while others believe that the president should be held accountable for his inaction.
No matter what side of the debate one is on, it is clear that Congressman Andy Biggs has sparked a conversation about the Biden administration’s handling of the crisis at the border. His call for impeachment has put the issue in the spotlight, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming weeks and months.

A strain of Salmonella typhimuriumappeared sequentially in three patients in a burn unit, and epidemiological study suggested the occurrence of person-to-person spread. This organism was responsible for both colonisation and invasive infection in these patients whose burn surfaces were receiving topical treatment with 0·5% silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution. The antibiotic and metal ion susceptibility pattern of this strain of S. typhimuriumwas unique and disturbing: resistant to silver nitrate, mercuric chloride, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, streptomycin, and sulphonamides. This pattern of multiple resistances could be transferred by invitro mating experiments to sensitive recipient strains of Escherichia coli and S. typhimurium. Further transfer of these resistances could be consumated between different strains of E. coli. A survey of other salmonella strains isolated from patients in this hospital without thermal burns did not reveal this pattern of resistance. Also, strains of S. typhimurium, isolated elsewhere and showing simultaneous resistance to both ampicillin and chloramphenicol, were not resistant to AgNO3 in vitro. The very real danger of this strain of S. typhimurium in burn units stems from its resistance to the two most effective antibiotics (ampicillin and chloramphenicol) available for systemic therapy; and this threat may be compounded through the selection effected by the widespread topical use of AgNO3 solutions and sulphonamide preparations on burned surfaces.

Maryland field hockey midfielder Brooke DeBerdine was named as the National Field Hockey Coaches Association’s Mid Atlantic Regional Player of the Year, the program announced earlier on Monday.
The NFHCA Regional Player of the Year award is another accolade for DeBerdine, who has had her fair share of success in 2021 as well as her entire career at Maryland. Last week, DeBerdine was honored with a selection to the All-Mid Atlantic Region First Team and she also earned an All-Big Ten First Team selection for the second season in a row.
DeBerdine, a graduate student, helped lead the program to a 15-7 overall record this season. The Terps made it all the way to the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four, though they were taken down by No. 9-seed Liberty in double overtime. The long-time Terp DeBerdine has officially played 104 games in her Maryland career, the most by an individual in program history.
In 2021, DeBerdine added one goal in 22 starts, though most of her presence could be found in the midfield. She was a workhorse for Maryland this season, playing 1,266 minutes, the third-most on the team.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a direct method of detection of foodborne pathogens in soil including VBNC cells, overcoming the shortcomings associated with molecular methods when analyzing complex environmental matrices.
Methods: Bacterial adherents were released from soil particles into suspension using a Pulsifier and concentrated by two rounds of vacuum filtration, reducing 25 g of soil to a 1 ml suspension. Escherichia coli O157 was quantified in eleven soil samples by qPCR, targeting the tir (translocated intimin receptor) gene. Cells were elongated via incubation with pipemidic acid and visualized through PNA-FISH under epifluorescence microscopy.
Results: The assay was capable of detecting E. coli O157 at 10 CFU per gram of peat-based compost. The tir gene was detected in seven of eleven soil samples tested, despite disparate compositions and geographical origins. Peat-based compost contained the highest concentration, at 200 gene copies per gram. The presence of VBNC E. coli O157 was confirmed in the compost using PNA-FISH.
Significance: The assay described here provided a rapid and quantitative pre-screen of foodborne pathogens in soil, with applications in determining the extent of their presence throughout the environment. VBNC populations of E. coli O157 have been observed within compost, indicating its presence in agricultural soils across the UK.

Quick Answer: Prior to its premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, Wiener-Dog was billed as a semi-sequel to Todd Solondz’s debut film Welcome to the Dollhouse, which developed a cult following after it was released in 1995. Wiener-Dog is not so much a sequel to Solondz's breakout hit as another film in the same strange universe that deals with similar themes of mortality and cruelty with melancholic humor. In Wiener-Dog, Solondz revives Welcome to the Dollhouse’s unpopular protagonist, Dawn Wiener. This time she is an adult, played by Greta Gerwig instead of the original actress, Heather Matarazzo.
Todd Solondz’s eighth feature, Wiener-Dog (2016), follows the life of an adorable dachsund through four stories that would otherwise seem unrelated. As the dog (whose given names include Wiener-Dog, Doodie and Cancer) is passed between four owners at different stages of life, she acts as a vessel through which we witness a range of human emotions, exercised in classic Solondzian scenes of mundanity. Wiener-Dog, which premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, was billed as a semi-sequel to the director’s debut hit Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995). The films are loosely connected in terms of plot, but in Wiener-Dog’s second vignette, Welcome to the Dollhouse's main character is revived.
Greta Gerwig as the adult Dawn Wiener in Wiener-Dog (2016)
Welcome to the Dollhouse introduced the world to Solondz’s brand of melancholic comedy. Set in suburban New Jersey — where Solondz himself grew up — the film tells the story of a perpetually bullied girl named Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo) who can’t seem to catch a break. It’s a portrait of the confusing moment that is adolescence, and one that is sure to conjure up familiar feelings in viewers: what it was like to be rejected, to embarrass yourself, to feel amazingly insecure. But somehow, through all of Dawn’s pain, Welcome to the Dollhouse is most memorable for its comedy. This might be because Solondz’s fans empathize and identify with Dawn. Watching this film is like looking at an old yearbook photo: in Dawn Wiener, we see an amalgam of our middle school selves.
Dawn Wiener arrives in the second part of Wiener-Dog, but this time she’s grown up and played by a different actress (Greta Gerwig). In the film, she works as at the veterinarian clinic where the dog’s prior owners (Julie Delpy, Tracy Letts, Charlie Tahan) take her to be put down after she gets sick from eating a granola bar. Dawn rescues the dog from her morbid fate and takes her home, where she nurses her back to health and names her “Doodie.” Later in the vignette, Dawn runs into another character hailing from Welcome to the Dollhouse: Brandon McCarthy, who was Dawn's simultaneous bully and only friend. This time he is played by Kieran Culkin and tells Gerwig's Dawn that she looks like the wiener-dog (her middle school nickname), which she takes as a compliment.
Dawn and the dog’s shared nickname seems no coincidence. In Welcome to the Dollhouse, Dawn's friendly nature and outcast status lead a chain of people to take advantage of her. She's continually used as a prop: a conceit passed around by others in the same way that the wiener-dog is passed around like an object to those who need her most. Gerwig does a great job channeling the awkward innocence of the original Dawn Wiener, but one can’t help but wonder why it’s Gerwig instead of Matarazzo.
Heather Matarazzo as Dawn Wiener in Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
Wiener-Dog is not the first film for which Solondz cast different actors to play the same character, and it’s not the first film since Welcome to the Dollhouse that references the character of Dawn Wiener. Solondz’s Palindromes (2004) opens with Dawn's funeral. We learn that she went to college, gained weight and committed suicide. The rest of the story follows a 13-year old girl named Aviva, who over the course of the film is played by eight actors of different ages, races and genders. In an interview with The Believer, Solondz explained the significance of using different actors for the same role, and how it’s all rooted in Dawn Wiener: “So many people who saw [Welcome to the Dollhouse], no matter how different they were from one another, said the same thing. They said, ‘That was me! I was just like Dawn Wiener!’ And so I started wondering what it would be like to create a character who was played by different actors of widely varying types, what that might mean in terms of audience identification as well as sympathy for the character. But it was more than that. I had a vision that in the end, paradoxically, Aviva could turn out to be a deeper and more poignant character for having been played by different actors than if she’d been developed in the conventional way.”
After killing off Dawn Wiener in Palindromes, Solondz revived her in Wiener-Dog to project the character (and her cult following) into a more hopeful future. While other links between the director’s first and most recent film are as tenuous as the connections between Wiener-Dog’s vignettes, Solondz continues to build on (and make magic from) the same basic material. He’s interested in the multiplicity of character: how thousands of viewers can truly see themselves in Dawn Wiener and Aviva — or at least place themselves in the context of their emotional experiences.
Solondz's technique of sharing a character with several actors and thus multitudes of his fans lends a mystical quality to his work. His stories are fairytales of misfit characters that offer both humor and solace for viewers who have been there. The universe of Solondz’s films might seem lonely or depressing — especially Wiener-Dog, which deals thematically with mortality — but when we're watching, his characters are never alone.

During his time as a fellow at the RAiR Ryder Richards (born in Roswell in 1977) has developed a series of works exploring methods of icon and image presentation in the West. He will be opening a solo exhibit, Conflicted, at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, Roswell, NM. The exhibit will open from February 22 – April 7, 2013 with an opening reception and artist talk on Friday, February 22 from 5:30-7 p.m.
Drawing his inspiration from Giambologna’s late Renaissance works “Rape of the Sabine Women” and “Hercules Fighting the Centaur Nessus” in Florence, Richards new works present flattened versions of complex sculptures held aloft by a wooden network of scaffolding reminiscent of drive-in movie screens, billboards, and towers lining the local highways. Dwelling on the uniquely conflicted relationship between victim and oppressor, utility and language, the works reflect theatrical imported propaganda as subjected to locality.
Enjoy the images of the installation.

Background: Ten thousand jubilant Southern Sudanese crowded into the Juba Football Stadium, Equatorial Province, on Tuesday (June 9) at the start of the three days of celebrations to mark the first anniversary of the autonomy of Southern Sudan.
A year ago, on June 9, 1969, the Revolutionary Government, which had seized power in a bloodless coup a month earlier, granted self-government to the three southern provinces of Bahr al Ghazal, Upper Nice and Equatoria.
Sudan's Head of State, Major-General Jaafar El-Nimeiry was away in the Central African Republic this week, and his place at the celebrations was taken by Major Abualgasin Mohammed Ibrahim, Minister for Local Government in the Revolutionary Command Council.The Major arrived at the Stadium surrounded by a bodyguard of soldiers armed with Soviet-made sub-machine guns and automatic rifles.
Many of the crowd were Zanei tribesmen who wore traditional dress and played indigenous instruments. Organisations representing branches of the various new youth movements springing up all over the country marched in parade chanting in Arabic 'The Sudan is one nation.
The three autonomous Sudanese states are inhabited by about four million people belonging to some 40 different tribes. They rebelled in 1963 in protest against Arab domination from the North; thousands were killed in fighting against Government forces before the right was won to rule themselves and run their domestic affairs directly.

TKIP vs AES encryption: Which is better?
Which is better, TKIP vs AES encryption? This is a question that has been debated by security experts for many years.
Some people believe that TKIP is better because it is more user-friendly, while others believe that AES is the better option because it provides stronger security.
Overview of TKIP security
You’re likely familiar with the term WPA2. WPA2 is the most common type of wireless network security, and for good reason: it’s incredibly effective at keeping your network safe from outside intrusion. However, there was a time when WPA2 wasn’t the gold standard in wireless security. That honor belonged to a security protocol called TKIP.
We’ll take a look at what TKIP is, how it works, and why it eventually lost favor to WPA2. By the end, you should have a good understanding of this important piece of internet history.
What Is TKIP?
TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. It was developed in the early 2000s as an improvement on the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol, which was found to be susceptible to attacks. TKIP addressed the weaknesses of WEP by introducing message integrity checks (MICs) and by rekeying the encryption keys more frequently.
How Does TKIP Work?
TKIP uses a shared key that is generated by combining the secret cryptographic key with various data packets. This shared key is then used to encrypt data before it is sent over the network. When the data arrives at its destination, the shared key is used to decrypt it.
One of the benefits of TKIP is that it can be implemented without changing any of the existing hardware or software. This made it a popular choice among companies during its heyday.
Why Was TKIP Replaced By WPA2-AES?
Despite its many benefits, TKIP had one major flaw: it was vulnerable to replay attacks. A replay attack occurs when an attacker captures a data packet and retransmits it at a later time to gain access to a network or system.
To combat replay attacks, the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced WPA2 in 2004. WPA2 uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP for data encryption. AES is much more resistant to replay attacks than TKIP, which is why WPA2 quickly became the preferred security protocol for wireless networks.
TKIP was once the go-to security protocol for wireless networks. However, it eventually lost favor to WPA2 thanks to its susceptibility to replay attacks. Even though TKIP is no longer used, it’s important to understand how it works and why it fell out of fashion.
Blog Title: Everything You Need to Know about AES Security
Overview of AES security
AES security is a type of security used by organizations to protect their data. AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard and is a type of symmetric-key cryptography. This means that the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data. AES security is a strong form of security and is used by many organizations because it is difficult to break.
How AES Security Works?
AES security uses what is known as a substitution-permutation network. This type of network works by substituting the inputted data with another element and then rearranging that data. The substitution and permutation steps are repeated multiple times in order to secure the data. The number of times these steps are repeated depends on the key size that is being used.
128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit Keys
AES security can be implemented using different key sizes. The most common key sizes are 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit keys. 128-bit keys are considered to be very secure. However, 192-bit and 256-bit keys are even more secure because they use more rounds of encryption.
256-bit keys are the most secure but they are also the most difficult to break. This is why many organizations choose to use this type of key when they are encrypting their data.
Why Use AES Security?
There are many reasons why organizations choose to use AES security. One reason is that it is a very strong form of security. Another reason is that AES security can be implemented using different key sizes, which gives organizations more control over how secure their data is.
AES security is a type of security that is used by organizations to protect their data. It is a strong form of security that uses a substitution-permutation network in order to encrypt data. AES security can be implemented using different key sizes, which gives organizations more control over how secure their data is.
TKIP vs AES: Performance
Both of these protocols have their own advantages and disadvantages. AES is considered to be more secure than TKIP, but it is also more resource-intensive. This can lead to slower speeds and reduced performance. TKIP, on the other hand, is not as secure as AES but is faster and uses less resources. As a result, it is often used in devices that are not able to handle the extra overhead of AES. Ultimately, the decision of which protocol to use depends on the specific needs of the user.
TKIP vs AES: Security
TKIP uses a 128-bit key that is then divided into two halves. One half is used for encryption and the other half is used for verification. AES, on the other hand, uses a 256-bit key that is not divided into halves.
AES is generally considered to be more secure than TKIP because it uses a longer key. However, TKIP is still a viable option for security and has the advantage of being compatible with more devices.
As technology advances, it is important for organizations to keep up with the latest security protocols. TKIP is no longer considered to be a secure form of encryption and should be replaced with AES encryption. AES is more secure than TKIP and can be implemented using different key sizes, which gives organizations more control over how secure their data is.
So if you still have TKIP, get a WiFi expert to switch it over to AES immediately.

French president François Hollande said on 17 May that he may legislate to make shareholder votes on executive pay binding company boards continue to ignore shareholders’ recommendations. “I've been told there is a code of good conduct. If it's not applied there will be consequences,” Hollande said on Europe 1 radio. “If this council does not react firmly, the first decision will be to make general (shareholder) assembly decisions binding.” Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on 19 May that companies should be forced to abide by votes on pay. “We've tried asking companies to show responsibility,” Valls said on RTL radio. "It's clear that this hasn't been heeded, so now we must legislate."
The next day, 20 May, the two French business associations responsible for the code of corporate governance in France, AFEP and MEDEF, announced a revision to the code that took into account the work of the Haut Comité de Gouvernement d’Entreprise (HCGE). The HCGE has been in place for three years and has oversight of the application of the governance code’s recommendations. AFEP MEDEF said in a press release that HCGE had demonstrated its effectiveness in a number of cases and that it had acted as an advisor to businesses, answering their questions, but had also monitored compliance with the code.
The revisions to the code were made in three areas.
"Say on Pay" becomes mandatory
A negative vote by shareholders will require the board to adopt amendments to the remuneration awarded for that fiscal year or for future pay
Remuneration: transparency requirement strengthened
The performance metrics for variable remuneration should be stringent, transparent, and aligned with the long-term interests of the company.
Motivation behind departure decisions and terms and conditions of departing executives
The code has two strong principles regarding the conditions under which an executive who leaves a company:
Remuneration must be conditional on the achievement of performance criteria (failure must not be rewarded)
The board of directors must make public the reasoning behind its decisions.
For the first time AFEP and MEDEF are conducting a public consultation on these changes to the governance code. This consultation will last for six weeks from the 24 May, and comments can be made here. The revised code will be implemented at the beginning of September this year.
The changes are widely seen as attempts by AFEP MEDEF to avoid legislation, and were in part inspired by the controversy over Renault CEO, Carlos Ghosn’s (pictured above) €7.2 million remuneration in 2015 which received a non-binding majority vote against it in April this year. His total package included €1.23 million in base salary, €1.78 million in variable pay and a further €4.18 million in deferred bonuses and stock. AFEP and MEDEF say that the new code revisions will require company boards to take account of rejection votes and offer changes to or revisions of pay within a few weeks, as well as reporting back to shareholders at the next annual general meeting. The code revisions do not require managers’ pay to be cut following a rejection vote, but leaves the final decision to the board. Renault’s board declined to make any changes to Ghosn’s pay, but that may change.
The HCGE, which was set up to oversee the AFEP-MEDEF code, told Renault on 19 May, that it needed to make "significant changes" to its pay practices. “The High Committee considers that the spirit of the AFEP-MEDEF guidelines and the principles of shareholder democracy require that the board, after consulting with its principal shareholders in order to better understand their concerns, should introduce significant revisions to remuneration policy based on the recommendations that HCGE has formulated," said the HCGE in a statement.
It remains to be seen whether these pre-emptive moves will be enough to head off further legislation.

The UK’s former ambassador to Myanmar and her husband have each been sentenced to one year in prison by Myanmar’s military authorities, the BBC has confirmed.
Vicky Bowman and her husband Htein Lin, a former political prisoner, were charged with violating immigration laws.
The couple was arrested last week in their home in Yangon.
Ms Bowman served as ambassador in Myanmar from 2002-2006.
An earlier statement from the military said Ms Bowman had broken the law by staying at an address in a town other than Yangon – where she was registered – and failing to notify the authorities. Her husband had been arrested because he had facilitated the move.
Ms. Bowman currently runs the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business, based in Yangon.
Her husband Htein Lin is an artist and former political prisoner who was a member of the All Burma Student’s Democratic Front, an armed resistance group which was formed after the popular student-led uprisings against the junta in 1988.
The couple got married and moved to London before returning to Yangon in 2013.
The pair’s arrest came as the UK recently announced sanctions against the military authorities in Myanmar – coinciding with the fifth anniversary of its crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in the country. During the first few months of the onslaught, more than 6,000 people died, and hundreds of thousands were displaced.
Earlier on Friday, a military-run court in Myanmar also sentenced former leader Aung San Suu Kyi to a further three years in jail on election fraud charges.
Myanmar’s military regime has been accused of widespread violations of human rights.
Early this month, generals extended their emergency rule until 2023 as the country remains riven by internal fighting.

Crassula rupestris Thunb.
Bead Vine, Buttons on a String, Concertina Bush, Concertina Plant, Concertina Stonecrop, Kebab Bush, Necklace Vine, Rock Crassula, Rosary Vine
Crassula monticola, Crassula perfossa, Crassula punctata, Crassula rupestris subsp. rupestris
Crassula rupestris is a succulent shrublet with leaves fused around erect, spreading, or rarely decumbent branches. It can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall and is very variable in the size and shape of the leaves and how much their bases are fused. The branches are slender and slightly woody near the base, while the leaves are thick, fleshy, oval to lance-shaped, and measure up to 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) long and wide. The color of the leaves ranges from greyish-green to brownish-red or purple with yellow or brilliant red margins.
During the spring, the plant produces dense clusters of small flowers that vary in color from white to pinkish or reddish. The flower clusters are held on short stalks at the end of the branches and can reach a diameter of 2 inches (5 cm).
Crassula rupestris is native to South Africa. It grows on north- or east-facing, lower rocky slopes, in exposed positions among boulders, and on top of ledges from Vanrhynsdorp and the Cape Peninsula in the Western Cape to Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape province.
The specific epithet "rupestris (rue-PES-tris)" means "that lives on cliffs or rocks" and refers to the native habitat of the species.
How to Grow and Care for Crassula rupestris
Light: Crassula rupestris prefers full sun to partial shade. However, avoid intense afternoon sun during the hot summer days, as it can burn the leaves. If growing the plant indoors, place it in a window with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.
Soil: This plant is not particular about soil pH, but it does require soil that is very porous and has excellent drainage. You can use commercial soil mix for succulents or create your own.
Temperature: While this succulent can tolerate average summer temperatures and short-term freezing, extreme cold or heat can cause it to lose leaves and even die. Crassula rupestris grows best in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 9b to 11b, with average minimum winter temperatures ranging from 25 to 50 °F (-3.9 to 10 °C).
Watering: Avoid overwatering using the "soak and dry" method to keep the plant healthy. Water deeply and then let the soil completely dry out before watering again. Reduce watering in winter. The potted plants require more frequent watering than those in the ground.
Fertilizing: While Crassula rupestris does not require high levels of nutrients, it will benefit from a small amount of organic fertilizer in mid-spring when it starts actively growing.
Repotting: Repot the plant as needed, preferably in spring, at the beginning of the growing season. Make sure the soil is dry before beginning to repot.
Propagation: This plant is usually propagated by leaves and stem cuttings. Using leaves is the easiest method, but stem cuttings produce larger plants more quickly. It can also be grown from seeds. The best time for propagation by cuttings is at the beginning of the growing season, while spring and summer are ideal for sowing the seeds.

Tesla defied its critics again on Tuesday, raising over $226 million in a public offering even though it's only sold about a thousand cars and doesn't expect to make money "for the foreseeable future."
But Tesla CEO Elon Musk seems undaunted as usual. In Tesla's road show last week, which you can see here, Musk compared Tesla to Silicon Valley tech powerhouses like Apple and Google rather than aging, struggling car manufacturers like Ford and General Motors.
"The Tesla Roadster is product 1, and version 1's typically suck," Musk said. "This one is good -- it kicks ass," and, he went on, Tesla's cars will only get better.
The Model S will have a 17-inch touch screen computer embedded in the center console with 4G wireless so you can browse the Web and check e-mail (not while driving!). "It will be an apps platform for third-party developers. It will be mind-blowing for the car business. But it's par for the course in Silicon Valley."
The car will eventually go farther (300 miles), charge faster (45 minutes), get a battery swap in under a minute and accelerate to 60 mph in under six seconds. Its powertrain is a platform that will be adapted to other Tesla cars -- a sedan, cabriolet, van and crossover SUV, all coming "soon."
But if Tesla plans to sell cars even to the 2,200 or so people on the waiting list for its next model, the $50,000 luxury sedan Model S, due in 2012, it has some challenges ahead, and customers should be asking questions.
- How will Tesla's cars be repaired? So far that's not much of a problem, since there aren't many cars out there, but Tesla has no car dealerships and plans to open only 50 sales and service centers around the world. Roving service technicians called the Tesla Rangers will visit customers who don't live near a store -- or you can send your car in to get repaired -- but if the car breaks down, you could be in for a wait.
- How far can these cars actually go? "Recently," Tesla said in its S-1, filed with the SEC, "the EPA announced its intention to develop and establish new energy efficiency testing methodologies for electric vehicles, which we believe could result in a significant decrease to the advertised ranges of all electric vehicles, including ours." Also, Tesla notes, the car battery's ability to hold a charge tends to deteriorate over time (which you'd expect), and the car's range depends somewhat on the weather -- range is reduced by five to 10 percent when the temperature is -20 degrees C, and the car slows for safety reasons when the powertrain gets too hot.
- What role will Toyota play in manufacturing Tesla's cars? (An agreement between the two is not worked out, although Toyota will invest $50 million in Tesla, which will in turn buy the now closed Toyota-GM manufacturing plant in Fremont). Will it be the corner-cutting Toyota whose dangerous cars were exposed this year by the Los Angeles Times and ABC News or the efficient and constantly improving Toyota that we'd admired before that?
- Also, will Tesla be able to manufacture its cars fast enough to meet demand -- assuming Tesla has enough demand, since not all states permit sales of cars over the Internet? And what about the new manufacturing techniques Tesla has planned? Will they work?
Musk, who is himself named as a risk in Tesla's S-1 because he divides his time between Tesla and two other companies -- SpaceX and SolarCity -- has no doubt that Tesla can handle all of its challenges.
Regardless of what happens to Tesla, though, its IPO is great news for the auto industry. Tesla and its competitors will create more electric and hybrid cars. There will be more car chargers, a stronger electric grid and (we hope) a push to generate more electricity from renewable energy.
Also, the IPO marks another turning point for Tesla -- U.S. taxpayers, through a loan from the DOE, are now providing less than half of Tesla's funding.
(If you're interested in the history of Tesla, and another take on the company's future, here's a good story from Reuters).

"Cool"ibar on Earth Day
As a Coolibar sun protective clothing fan, you can not only feel good about protecting your skin, but protecting a bit of the earth as well. Coolibar Sun Protective Clothing Earthly Deeds: 1) For every sun protective clothing garment you wear versus sunscreen alone, you’re reducing the amount of sunscreen you use along with packaging waste. For more information read: Sun Protective Clothing vs. Sunscreen 2) Quality sun protective clothing like Coolibar’s lasts for years -- we mean it! The sun protection doesn’t wash or wear out, and lasts for the life of the garment. If you have one child that outgrows the UPF clothing, you can pass it down to the next! For more information read: The Coolibar Guarantee 3) Coolibar has incorporated biodegradable garment bags and mailing envelopes into outgoing packages. (More on this to come later in the week!) 4) Coolibar recognizes the importance of using sunscreen on exposed skin (face, hands, feet, etc.). That’s why we carry sunscreen brands such as Raw Elements, chemical free zinc oxide sunscreen. From Raw Elements Sunscreen: According to a study released in January 2008, four common chemical sunscreen agents may be at least partly responsible for increased coral bleaching worldwide. Cinnimate, benzophenone, parabens (artificial preservatives) and camphor derivatives were found to activate viruses in the algae. Not only are these chemicals infecting the reef, they are also disrupting the surrounding ecosystem as well. Algae being the primary energy source for coral reefs, once infected and depleted, the coral bleaches and dies. An estimated four to six thousand pounds of chemical sunscreen wash off swimmers each year and ten percent of the world’s coral reefs are destroyed. Environmental groups and environmentally conscious scuba and snorkel resorts around the world suggest using biodegradable zinc oxide-based sunscreens when entering fragile ecosystems such as oceans, lakes and ponds. Using a chemical free sunscreen with an active ingredient of Zinc Oxide is s a conscientious alternative to damaging sunscreens that consist chemical UV absorbers, synthetic preservatives or other harsh chemicals. Happy Earth Day!
For more than 20 years, Coolibar (koo-luh-bar) has stopped at nothing to develop the most technical and elegant sun protective clothing, hats and accessories. The world leader in UPF 50+ fabric technology.

They first made their mark during the era of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Older brother Ion finished the eighth grade, while Vasile left school after the fourth grade, according to OCCRP’s archive research. They got their real education on the streets.During the mid to late 1980s the brothers and their gang focused on large-scale burglary. They stole everything that could be sold on the Romanian black market: carpets, lamps, clocks, coffee, soap, cassette players, clothes, gold jewellery and fur hats.During the final turbulent years of Communism, the Balint brothers not only knew how to earn money by selling stolen goods, they were also able to zigzag their way through the country’s defective legal system. One of Ceausescu’s eccentricities was to show his “mercy” by granting prison amnesties – something that the brothers were able to exploit.
When the dictator celebrated his 70th birthday on 26 January 1988, the prison gates were opened for Balint’s gang, who had previously been convicted for some of their burglaries.
The tradition of prison amnesties continued after Ceausescu. On 16 January 1990 the brothers were able to walk out of prison after yet another conviction for burglary. Romania’s first post-Communist leader, Ion Iliescu, wanted to celebrate the collapse of the former regime by releasing the prisoners out onto the streets.During the first stumbling steps into capitalism in the 1990s, the Balint brothers created one of Bucharest’s most powerful criminal networks. The money they had earned allowed them to live up to the name of Camataru – ‘loan sharks’. Those who didn’t manage to pay up in time or scrape together the interest could expect a visit from the clan.
In autumn 1994 accusations of violence were directed at the brothers after they personally attacked their victims. This included attacking two families, taking their cars, money and jewellery. Another family was attacked with a sword in the street.They were convicted in the first court instance, but there was no new trial. The case documents had been stolen from the court building and disappeared. The brothers had escaped a prison sentence – once again.A late summer’s evening, far away from Bucharest. We’re sitting at a corner table, right at the back of a restaurant. We can’t say where we are, and the man we’ve arranged to meet doesn’t want to go out onto the street to have his photo taken – someone might see him talking to us.

Besides the rolling hills in Central Texas, vast fields of green in East Texas, and majestic mountains in West Texas, there are five other perks of purchasing land in Texas.
If you’re searching for land for sale in Harlingen or another Cameron County town, SRC Land can be your helping hand with their experience in decades of real estate and land development.
1. Property Tax Exemptions
When you purchase land in Texas, you may be eligible to qualify for a wildlife, agricultural, and/or timber exemption. These exemptions can minimize your yearly property taxes significantly. The exemptions are given for land that’s utilized for agriculture, including for pasture and grazing land, timberland, and wildlife preservation.
2. You Can Write Off Exemptions
Another financial advantage when it comes to buying land in Texas is that you may file a Schedule F in your federal income taxes. This applies to people who use their land specifically for farming.
What’s great about Schedule F is that it enables you to write off expenses assigned via farming, such as interest on a loan taken out to buy your land. On top of that, if you were to build on your property, you might be able to claim the interest on the construction loan in your federal income taxes.
3. You Can Invest and Profit Off of Your Land
If your intent of buying land in Texas is to start your own business, you will discover that there are a plethora of businesses you can get into that you can’t in other states. You can consider opening an inn or bed and breakfast if your desire is to provide unmatched hospitality services, or you can go for a more rugged approach by opening up a hunting lodge and/or camping grounds. Whatever profitable venture you wish to achieve with the land you purchase is only limited by your imagination.
4. Financing in Your Favor
The majority of people aren’t in a position to raise the necessary funds to purchase land with only one payment. People that look to buy raw land also encounter an obstacle due to the fact that banks and other conventional lenders do not comprehend how this market works. One reason is that they may not have ways to accurately figure out the value of land as it is.
If you’re looking to buy land in Texas, you may borrow from lenders who finance the purchase and development of rural land in Texas. Certain financing companies are landowners and farmers who understand the necessities and difficulties that come with looking to buy land and engaging in agribusiness.
5. Extremely Affordable Rates
Getting the funds to buy land can be a challenge. The good news is buying land in Texas is very affordable. While rates from one area to another differ, generally speaking, purchasing land is a practicable investment that is far more affordable than buying or constructing commercial buildings.
Simple, Affordable, and Seller-Financed Land in Harlingen
If you’re looking to purchase land in Texas, you will not find better deals than those provided by SRC Land. We are a premier land development company, and we take pride in our affordable parcels of land available for sale in Cameron County.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard is genuine world-class player, says former captain Dennis Wise
Last Updated: 13/02/18 3:48pm
Eden Hazard's "frightening" ability makes him invaluable to Chelsea, according to former club captain Dennis Wise.
After missing the start of the season following a broken ankle, Hazard has again been a standout performer for Chelsea, directly contributing to 24 goals for the Blues this term.
Hazard took his tally for this season to 15 with two goals in Chelsea 3-0 win over West Brom on Monday night, and Wise says the Belgian has consistently proven he is a world-class player.
"His performances for Chelsea since he has come back from injury have been absolutely outstanding," Wise told Premier League Daily on Sky Sports News.
"He has been like a one-man band at stages. Especially, last night you see how fantastic he was with his two goals.
Get Chelsea TV half price for 12 months
Chelsea fans, get closer to the club you love with half price Chelsea TV. Just £3.50 a month for 12 months.
"He creates things that other players can't create. I think he is world class and it is up to him what he wants to do with himself, whether he wants to take himself to that next level.
"Only time will tell I think but some of the things he can do with a football are quite frightening,"
Chelsea's win over West Brom saw them return to the top four, easing the pressure on head coach Antonio Conte, who has cut an unhappy figure in recent weeks.
Wise believes Conte's future is indeed uncertain, adding results between now and the end of the season could determine whether the Italian is at Stamford Bridge next year.
"I see it [Conte's future] until the end of the season at the moment," Wise said.
"If they go and get in the Champions League and they win the FA Cup he has put himself in a good position and he's comfortable.
"But if they don't get in the Champions League and they don't win a trophy, obviously the point of view will be that it hasn't been that successful, it hasn't been great and he's spent an awful lot of money so therefore they would need to think about things."

Brian Wilson probably won’t mind sitting pretty one stop below this track – he thinks it’s the finest pop song ever written. The greatest exponent of producer Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique, this sugar-sweet, heart-busting hit by The Ronettes was a true collaboration between producer and muse (singer Ronnie Bennett and Spector would later marry). Wilson reportedly listened to this track 100 times a day, and thanks to its irresistible charm and deceptive simplicity, it wouldn’t be much of a hardship.

Guard Nijel Pack, who declared for the 2023 NBA Draft while maintaining his collegiate eligibility, will return to Miami for his junior season, according to a UM Athletics release.
Pack joined fellow Hurricane Norchad Omier this past April as one of the 242 players to file as early-entry candidates for the draft. Like his teammate, Pack will withdraw his name from consideration before the May 31 deadline.
“We are thrilled Nijel and Norchad have elected to return to Miami. They are both not only excellent players, but also superb individuals off the court,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “They gained valuable feedback from NBA personnel during the pre-draft process that will aid them moving forward. We will continue to do all we can to help them further develop as they pursue their dreams of playing at the next level.”
The former Kansas State Wildcat transferred to Miami last offseason after two seasons with the Big 12 team, earning First Team All-Big 12 honors in his second year.
In his first year with the Hurricanes, Pack started slow but ramped up his play in ACC and postseason play. His most memorable performance came in the Sweet 16, when he scored a season-high 26 points and made seven 3-pointers against Houston. This showing against the Cougars spearheaded his NCAA Tournament Midwest Region Most Outstanding Player recognition.
Pack averaged 13.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game over the course of the season. He also shot a team-high 40.4% from deep.
Rising juniors Bensley Joseph, Wooga Poplar and Matthew Cleveland join Pack to form what should be one of the most daunting guard units in the ACC next season.
