Shahzad Akbar hits back at PML-N, says FIA recovered Rs7bn in one year
ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) recovered seven billion rupees in the past one year, said Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar, responding to allegations from the PML-N, on Friday.
The prime minister's aide was conducting a press conference where he said that the PML-N's Marriyum Aurangzeb had asked questions about the government's ARU in the parliament.
"Marriyum asked about what the ARU had done to bring back looted wealth which was stashed abroad," he said. "Critics need to understand how the ARU works."
Akbar said that those who had remained in power since the past 35 years had illegally occupied public lands. He said that the opposition was creating noise over the recovery of government land.
Akbar also spoke about the performance of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
"The FIA has recovered Rs7 billion in the past one year," he said.
Akbar alleged that apart from former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz, the 'B team' of the PML-N was also involved in corruption. He said that the incumbent government replied to the questions and criticism it received but its predecessors did not.
"Those who were in power before us did not bother answering questions," he said. "Even Marriyum said that this government is quick to give a response."
Akbar said that the Anti-Corruption Punjab had recovered land worth Rs129 billion. He said that the government had spent Rs10.3 million on the ARU.
"Marriyum should stop misleading the nation with false claims," he said.
He said that when Shehbaz's son Hamza is questioned, he tells authorities to ask questions from his brother, Salman. He said that the government was asked about various questions and it provided answers to them.
"We were asked about the money that was spent on overseas trips," he said. "We gave them the list of expenditures that were incurred."
Akbar alleged that the PML-N had laundered money in the past through 'cash boys'.
"Who were Masroor Anwar and Shoaib cash boys?" he asked.
He said that it had been several days and neither Shehbaz nor anyone from the PML-N had responded to his 18 questions.
Akbar spoke about the recent settlement between a Pakistani citizen and the National Crime Agency.
"The NCA has transferred £190m to the government of Pakistan," he said. "The NCA's press release has said that it was a civil suit and there was no criminal element," he added.
The PML-N's Marriyum Aurangzeb had earlier lashed out at Akbar and criticised the ARU. She had said that the government had spent Rs20.3 million on the unit but hadn't recovered anything yet.
"After spending Rs20.3 million, the amount that they recovered is zero," she had said.

Engineering education in India has seen tremendous growth over the past decade, both in number of students and number of colleges. The recent growth in Indian engineering education has been overwhelmingly due to privately funded educational institutions rather than publicly funded ones.
Often the following questions have been asked, 'Aren't there too many engineers?' or 'Aren't there too many engineering colleges? Each of these questions will have answers in positive. The reason being that India and the world will always need human resources not only engineers but people with all other professions and expertise. But the need and supply faces a hook called skills. Skillful men are the ones required and not the ones with a mere degree and thereby every institute indulges in offering skill based learning methodologies which can produce better set of knowledgeable and skilled professionals.
Unlike every other institute, the better ones show traits of a higher standard in offering the same courses that is being offered elsewhere but with a difference and the difference lies in the commitment. This commitment reflects in the number of students who apply for admissions and the cream of quality students being chosen thereafter. Subsequently, this set of students with the guidance of faculty members and the infrastructure provided to them is not only successful in earning a good job but aces in every other aspects of their field of study. Those aspects bloom further as a student heads for research, innovation and entrepreneurship leaving a temptation of a job and moving for new ventures.
In this issue of Silicon India Education, we have brought you 'Engineering College Ranking' under which selected private engineering colleges has been ranked with a view to guide students towards choosing better colleges according to their expectations. Each of these institute exhibit a special commitment towards offering skillful education and making better professionals.Our team looks forward for students being benefitted through this.

#NotGoodEnough: Instagram Celebrities Warned for Violating FTC Rules
By George Khoury, Esq. on May 04, 2017 11:58 AM
The FTC recently announced that it issued over 90 letters to Instagram and social media 'influencers' and celebrities to remind them about the legal requirement to clearly disclose paid-for social media posts.
The announcement explains that many social media influencers use unclear hashtags or comments, such as #sp, #sponsored, or "Thanks [brandname]," in an attempt to meet the FTC disclosure requirements. However, as the FTC explains, these phrases are not clear, nor conspicuous, enough. Additionally, the agency pointed out that the clear and conspicuous guideline is violated when a user has to click or touch an image or link in order to see the disclosure.
Celebrities in the Spotlight
Celebrities, like Kim Kardashian, and even large companies, like Warner Bros., have found themselves facing the ire of the FTC over failing to properly disclose promoted social media posts. Significantly, the FTC's warning letters went out to individual influencers rather than corporations, though the FTC did not name names. One source also pointed out that other celebrities, including Rihanna, Rita Ora, and Kylie Jenner, may have been included as they were warned last year regarding similar violations.
While the FTC did not comment on the pending litigation, a recent lawsuit filed by a group called Public Citizen focuses exactly on the issue of social media influencers failing to properly disclose their sponsorships.
Influencers Take Heed
For individuals that have large social media followings that get leveraged for paid promotional opportunities, knowing the FTC guidelines is important. While influential Hollywood celebrities may command a hefty premium for a single promotion, smaller social media influencers may not even be making enough money to cover the costs of legal representation.
However, it should be noted that, for a social media influencer, violating these guidelines alone may not be grounds for any fines, but it can be the basis of a FTC investigation, which could result in severe penalties.

DARK PROGRESSIVE – PSYGRESSIVE – ZENONESQUE
THE CRYSTAL DROP a.k.a. Hakan Egemen,who was born in Turkey in 1980, has been passionately in love with music since his early childhood. In the years of 8o's and 9o's, his mind was blown away by the decades' prevailing tendencies varying from electro-funk, electroclash, hypnotic, dreamy new wave and synth-pop sounds to techno, house and disco club hits. During the late 90s and early 2000s, he was familiar with oldschool trance variations such as acid trance, goa trance, hard trance, euro trance, tech trance, uplifting and progressive trance. His relish for deejaying began in 2oo4 and he moved on playing his tunes among friends at house parties in the university years. His selections consisted mainly of progressive house (deep progressive/dark progressive/tribal progressive,etc). In 2oo8, he started working for Pioneer Pro Dj Academy in his hometown. From this moment, he played at several bars, clubs, hotels besides after-hours and private parties. Having paused djing for a few years, he altered his mind in 2o15 and decided to make it up for the lost years. Henceforth, he felt like taking part in psychedelic trance community as a psy-trance dj. Subsequently, he participated in 'CRYSTAL KIDS' psy-trance organisation founded in Istanbul and became a resident dj member of it. Since then, he has been seen on the psychedelic platforms and performed in many indoor events, parties, organisations and outdoor festivals in Turkey. Despite the fact that he virtually seems to love each sub-genre of psy-trance, his style and favourite one is zenonesque, psygressive and dark progressive. He mostly prefers sticking to heavy loaded abounding atmosphere, harmony, composition, story and groovy, powerful, satisfactory basslines.

How is everybody on this beauuuuuutiful spring day!?
I'm lovely, thanks! And I have a lovely mani to share with you all, as well.
I finally joined the Julep Maven program - and so far, so good! Today's polish is one that I purchased as a $4 add-on to my maven box - and I am LOVING it!
This is not the best picture - but it shows the true color the closest!
Unfortunately, the lighting was not great when this was taken - IRL, this has more of a grayish tint to it.
The Julep polish went on like a DREAM! I can't believe it took me so long to finally get this brand. It is fantastic! And this is ONE COAT! I've never seen anything like it!

Stunning Ambition Drives P.T. Anderson's 'The Master'
Submitted by BrianTT on August 20, 2012 - 10:50am
CHICAGO – Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" screened publicly last week in Chicago for only the second time in the world. It was shown in glorious 70mm, the format in which the film was shot, but in which most people will never get the chance to see it. While much of the conversation surrounding the screening seemed to hinge around the technical specifications, the increasing dearth of actual film projectors in the city, or the aspects of the plot related to Scientology, those aren't the elements of the film that have been rolling around my head for the last four days.

CHICAGO – The national acting treasure Julianne Moore never shies away from a performance challenge.
From her memorable exposure in Robert Altman's "Short Cuts" to her willingness to go all the way in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights," Moore has proven that true vulnerability in a role requires the ability to bare – and bear with – all.
