As it comes to the end of the year, it's almost compulsory to do lists and choose your top 10 of everything – including beer. So, we thought we'd join in with the spirit of the season.
This was probably the most anticipated new beer from a new brewery in a long time. And it went on to surprise a few Dave Padden hop head fans. There are hops but this is one of the most balanced drinkable pale ales I've ever tried. Quality at its best. Drinkable, moreish with a strong hop aroma with a sweet/bitter balanced taste. Only beer this year where after the first taste I went on to have 4 pints. I LOVE this beer.
The first beer from the newly launched Bundaberg, QLD based Bargara Brewing Company, and what a debut. The search for a proper drinkable and sessionable Australian lager is over. This is it. The beer pours bright and clear with a golden yellow hue, forming a loose foamy head which soon settles down to a thin topping maintained by the continuing slight carbonation.
The smell is a mixture of lemon and summer meadows with neither the citrus or the flowery aromas taking hold but balancing perfectly to entice you to begin drinking. The mix of the European hops (Hallertau and Perle) come through without hitting you over the head, and leave the malty biscuit smell intact. The taste is of slight bitterness that fills your mouth with flavour. The malt dominates at the beginning and continues through to the aftertaste where the delicate hop flavours appear producing a slight dry crisp finish that certainly leaves you wanting more.
Very light in appearance, almost transparent, but packed with flavour for a mid strength beer. The taste is more on the malty side with only a slight hint of hop bitterness. Originally a one off as part of the Tank Nine release program this is now a core beer, although only generally available in Queensland and at the brewery in Woodend, VIC. Very refreshing and easy drinking for a good session.
The second of the beers from the new Sydney brewery Akasha founded by former Riverside brewer, Dave Padden. Along with their Freshwater Pale Ale this IPA also makes the Top 10. The tap decal says "It's all about the hops" and this superb "West Coast style IPA" delivers that, and more. Good strong piney aroma with fruity orange aromas also coming through. Whilst the hops are the star, the robust malt base gives this the perfect balance leaving a dry moderate bitter finish. It certainly doesn't taste like it's a 7.2% beer.
The first beer in the list that's been around a while. This wonderful staple of the Rocks Brewery is still the best Porter we've tasted from one our craft beer breweries. It's smooth and silky just as the pure black colour and thick creamy head indicates. Busting with deep dark chocolate and slight burnt toffee tastes. A meal in a glass.
Delicious thick, malty brown in colour and taste. Sweet caramel tastes with perfectly balanced hops. Dangerously moreish for a 6.2% beer. As with any decent brown the thick head stayed to the bottom of the glass. Fantastic beer from the Brisbane gypsy brewing concern.
Apparently based on an 'English style India Pale Ale, this copper coloured beer is predominately about the malt with balance provided by some good hop characters. Tastes strongly of sweet orange marmalade with the hop bitterness coming through at the end to provide a dry finish.
It's deep, dark red colouring, and creamy head lets you know that this is going to be a big smooth drinking beer. Some hop bitterness, but the sweet toffee caramel tastes dominate. A beer to be careful with as its drinkability hides that 8.4% ABV. Now available in bottles for more people to see what all the fuss is about.
Making a storming debut at the beginning of the year, Pirate Life launched three beers from their Adelaide brewery. For us, this is the best. A strongly flavoured mid strength IPA that packs well above its weight. The golden colour gives off strong tropical and pine aromas, with a hint of grapefruit. A light, refreshing and delicate mouthfeel has this session IPA packing enough flavour that it is still enjoyable after a few. And at 3.5% ABV thats not a problem.
One of the small range of beers produced by the small Tanglehead Brewery based at the White Horse Hotel in Albany, WA. This stout really stood out. Strong, thick and creamy. The chocolate and coffee aromas added to in the taste by hints of vanilla. A complex beer that was unbelievably drinkable.


Adorno is a show that presents an innovative approach to the relationship between flamenco dancer and accessory. In the work, the five principal accessories - the castanets, bata de cola, shawl, fan, and cane - gain new autonomous meanings and roles while the dancers renegotiate how they are typically used. As the roles shift, the dancer-accessory relationship becomes destabilized and, ultimately, redefined.
Adorno, from Teatro Círculo's "Callback Series". April-May, 2017.

Andy is a friend and colleague of mine and the owner of People Deliver Projects. I first heard of People Deliver Projects in 2010, but didn't meet Andy until late 2012. We now work together and I have a huge amount of respect for Andy and the way he is able to engage clients and have tough conversations.
Lead through conversations – also the tough ones!
ones! When their team members don't deliver on a promise, they call it out. When stakeholders resist, they welcome it and ask for the truth. When their sponsors go invisible, they seek them out and ask for what they want. They are rarely on their keyboards or devices, but perch on the ends of desks, walk corridors at the end of the day or listen in a local bar later still.
that it seems easy, even enjoyable. They don't see diffi cult stakeholders as antagonists to be rugby tackled, but as equal people who walk in different shoes, and who have no less right to choose their own behaviour than we have. I suspect they see projects as a social system, possibly because it might be too obvious to consider that it might be a mechanical one. Whether they think this or not, they thrive on the fundamental ingredients – relationships, connectedness and trust. This is created through conversations, lots of them.
Back in 2006, People Deliver Projects was created in part because I wanted project management to be different and I believed it should be. Optimistically we hoped we could change thinking, helping project organisations to see the single truth that projects are delivered by people not by methodology or software. It felt that project managers and their organisations couldn't see it; it was a big problem and it needed solving.
In fact I learned fairly quickly that the clear majority DO see it. In fact they know it. Our own research says consistently that around 85% put 'people factors' higher than 'project methodology' in determining project success. Conversations with new clients have become a pleasant Groundhog day experience…'Yes, totally'…'Thank goodness someone else can see it' or the most popular expression 'Prince2 does not a project manager make'.
So how could the successful rise in profile and professionalism of project management miss the sweet spot? Why do intelligent and capable organisations over implement process so clumsily? How could the institutions pay scant attention to people skills, relationships and leadership? And indeed how is that Prince2 has become the UK solution of choice, when the prevailing responses we hear are: Too heavy, too slow, too many documents, too dull, we hate it?
My take on it, admittedly biased, is that our profession (at least in the UK) is trapped by its founding culture, where it was built and why it felt needed. The world of IT became tainted by failed implementations, governments and civil servants are more embarrassed by project failure than lauded for project success. Central functions feel under-valued and misunderstood as a result of criticism from 'the business'. It is therefore understandable that project systems, beneath their rational exterior have been created more from more visceral drivers to defend, rather than to own and lead.
Understandable, but not good enough, not any more. We find more and more that our clients want to deliver more projects for less resource, much faster and with more distinctive outcomes. They need to change faster than they have been able to do in their past. 70% accuracy at pace is way preferable to a pedestrian 90%, where no blame can be laid.
Process advocates have a plausible response, something like 'it's how you apply it that counts'. I used to sympathise and I've said it too. I don't anymore. It's too easy, too appeasing. So seven years on, with 80 clients, how do we see things now?

Rodrigo Comprido is having a splendid time in Chicago. Following some fine displays from his students in MMA, the two-time absolute world champion (99/00) is getting ready for further victory, in Jiu-Jitsu, at the August 21 IBJJF Chicago Open, event in Villa Park, Illinois.
"It's been smooth sailing, I have no complaints. First, Jonatas Novaes, who's my students and an instructor at my academy, took the Combat USA title with a sweet armbar in a little over a minute of fighting. Days later, Chris Garcia, my instructor for the kids class, won his first fight at the CFA GP in Florida. He took it by armbar in just over a minute, too. Last weekend at Strikeforce another student of mine, Gabe Salinas, won by arm triangle. All that just makes me delirious.
"I'm going to compete at the Chicago Open, where last year I closed out the absolute with Ryan Hall. We've already begun our preparations, and (Roberto) Traven is going to be in it, as well. He's coming up with some students to help us train. We're training hard, focused on this championship.
"Two weeks ago I sealed a sponsorship deal for the Chicago Open. Warrior International has been in the MMA market for years. I've been trying to get them to invest in Jiu-Jitsu for some time now. I invited the owner of Warrior to watch the 2011 Worlds. He liked what he saw and will sponsor the team for the Chicago Open. We'll be competing as Brasa Warrior.


Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Nashville, TN DUI School - Bowdoin Recovery Services, LLC.
Driving under the influence (DUI) is the crime of driving a motor vehicle with blood levels of alcohol in excess of a legal limit ("Blood Alcohol Content", or "BAC"). Similar regulations cover driving or operating certain types of machinery while affected by drinking alcohol or taking other drugs, including, but not limited to prescription drugs.
The specific criminal offense may be called, depending on the jurisdiction, driving under the influence [of alcohol or other drugs] (DUI), driving under intense influence (DUII), driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating under the influence (OUI) operating while intoxicated (OWI), operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OMVI), driving under the combined influence of alcohol and/or other drugs, driving under the influence per se or drunk in charge [of a vehicle]. Many such laws apply also to motorcycling, boating, piloting aircraft, use of motile farm equipment such as tractors and combines, riding horses or driving a horse-drawn vehicle, or bicycling, possibly with different BAC level than driving. In some jurisdictions there are separate charges depending on the vehicle used, such as BWI (bicycling while intoxicated), which may carry a lighter sentence.
Bowdoin Recovery Services, LLC provides 12, 16, 24, and 36 hour DUI classes using the State of Tennessee required PRIME FOR LIFE curriculum. We are a State Licensed facility and will help you meet all legal requirements.
WHAT IS PRIME FOR LIFE?
You must pre-register and prepay for the class. Snacks, drinks and all class materials provided.


Kurt Russell can sum up his 55-year acting career in one word: "Brandy." Not the alcoholic beverage. Russell makes his own wine. He's not going to betray his beloved Pinot with another drink. No, "Brandy," the 1972 hit song, the one with the parenthetical ("You're a Fine Girl") in the title, the song about the whiskey-and-wine-serving barmaid, a "fine girl," who makes the mistake of falling in love with a sailor whose life and lover and lady is the sea.
Russell sings "Brandy" in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" as a way of explaining why his character, Ego the Living Planet (more on that name later), hasn't been around much for his son, Chris Pratt's Star-Lord. Ego calls "Brandy" Earth's greatest composition, a line that, thinking about it, makes Russell laugh (and Russell is a man given to great laughter) loud and hard.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" writer-director James Gunn describes Russell as the "most famous cult actor in the world," which, for Gunn and many of his contemporaries, gives the 66-year-old a supreme coolness and cachet. Russell's movies usually turn a profit, but few have been huge hits, and fewer still earned Oscar nominations. (Russell himself has never been recognized by the academy. He's not even a member. His awards rap sheet is criminally small: A Golden Globe nod for "Silkwood" and an Emmy nomination for his title turn in "Elvis.") But forget all that, Gunn says. Russell's films — "Escape from New York," "Death Proof," "Hateful Eight," "Stargate," "Tombstone" (it's a long list) — remain more relevant today than those of many of his peers.
Russell wasn't immediately sold on doing the "Guardians" sequel. For one thing, he hadn't seen the first movie. And he has generally avoided sequels throughout his career, though he did parachute into the last two "Fast and the Furious" movies, his government agent character essentially providing the same function as, say, M in the James Bond series.

Having gained prominence as a creative consultant to Kanye West, Off-White founder Virgil Abloh is proving his three-year-old brand has the business chops to back up the buzz.
PARIS, France — "There is a new guard of designers that represent the luxury culture," says Bosse Myhr, director of menswear and technology at British department store Selfridges. At the top of the list, alongside Shayne Oliver of Hood By Air and Demna Gvasalia of Vetements, is Virgil Abloh, the longtime creative consultant to Kanye West, whose streetwear-inspired, Milan-based label Off-White has attracted fans from Rihanna to Gigi Hadid and is set to show on the official Paris Fashion Week schedule on Thursday. But behind the buzzy brand, the 36-year-old creative director has also built a genuine business that's generated triple-digit growth year-on-year since its 2013 launch. Indeed, according to Myhr, Selfridges has seen sales of Off-White surge by 100 percent between 2015 and 2016.
Paris Fashion Week can feel a long way from Rockford, Illinois, where Abloh grew up. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin, followed by a master's in architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology, where he first felt the pull of fashion. "OMA's Rem Koolhaas had just finished his [McCormick Tribune Campus] student centre, which later [along] with his relationship with Miuccia Prada piqued my interest and opened my gateway into fashion," Abloh recalls.
In 2002, at the age of 22, Abloh became creative consultant to Kanye West and his creative "think tank" Donda, a role Abloh has held for the past 14 years, though he declines to explain how this happened and avoids going into detail on his work with West, which encompasses tour merchandise, album covers and set design, and certainly helped to catapult his name into the global consciousness.
In 2009, Abloh interned, alongside West, in the Rome headquarters of Fendi. Soon after, he began building his first label, Pyrex Vision, which he debuted in New York in December 2012. The brand, which initially sold custom screen-printed Champion t-shirts ($225) and vintage Ralph Lauren flannels ($550), quickly gained a cult following, in no small part due to Abloh's design partnerships with famous artists like West and A$AP Rocky. From the start, Pyrex attracted influential retailers like Colette (Paris), Union (Los Angeles), GR8 (Tokyo) and Storm (Copenhagen), and was sold next to luxury labels like Balmain, Céline and Givenchy.
Since launch, Off-White has attracted a global following (the label has 569,000 followers on Instagram, in addition to the 600,000 more on Abloh's personal account). The label has also earned a spot on the official Paris Fashion Week schedule for both its men's line and women's collection, which debuted for Spring 2014. The label, which was also named a finalist in the 2015 LVMH Prize, now employs 14 people and has attracted over 220 stockists, including Selfridges, Barneys New York, IT Group, Colette and Net-a-Porter. Abloh declined to reveal current revenue figures, though he says sales grew by 100 percent last year. Thirty percent of the label's sales now come from North America; 40 percent from Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and 30 percent from Asia-Pacific. Off-White recently opened a standalone store in the Aoyama district of Tokyo, bringing the label's global retail network to five stores, including its shop-in-shop at Selfridges. By the first quarter of 2017, Abloh aims to double this number, opening new stores in New York, Toronto, Shanghai and Seoul, as well as a second store in Hong Kong.
On October 20, Abloh will debut an exclusive 19-piece menswear capsule collection with Matches Fashion and, in 2017, plans to stage an exhibition and embark on a hotel collaboration, adding to a range of side projects like his furniture range, his DJing and his periodic forays into product design, including stationary, books and iPhone cases.
So what's the secret to his success?
But Abloh aims to broaden his appeal. "I'm not going to choose between the mother or the teenager. It's a more wide open and less specific thing that I'm banking on," he says. It seems the creative director also has his sights set on something even bigger: shaking up a major European luxury brand.
Editor's Note: This article was revised on September 29, 2016. A previous version of this article misstated that Matches Fashion will debut an exclusive handbag collection for Off-White. This is incorrect. They will debut an exclusive menswear collection for the brand.

Trustees of the Gallery Trust
Recruitment of Trustees
The Gallery Trust is a Multi Academy Trust which is dedicated to improving outcomes for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in Oxfordshire
The Gallery Trust currently has 7 special schools in its Trust: Iffley Academy, Bardwell School, Orion Academy, Northern House Academy, Springfield School, Mabel Prichard School and Bloxham Grove Academy. Bloxham Grove Academy is currently in the pre-opening phase of development. The Trust runs a satellite provision of Orion Academy, The Grove.
Iffley Academy is located in central Oxford, and is Oxfordshire's largest special school, with 175 pupils on roll. Rated as Outstanding by Ofsted in February 2019, the Academy meets the needs of students with a range of SEND, including Cognition and Learning Needs, Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs. The learning community is based on respectful relationships with students, created through understanding of their special educational needs, commitment to restorative approaches, and by providing outstanding teaching and pastoral care. Iffley Academy has the Restorative Services Quality Mark from the Restorative Justice Council – the first special school to receive this award – and has been awarded Autism Accreditation by The National Autistic Society, the UK's leading charity for people on the autistic spectrum and their families. Iffley Academy is a Teaching School.
Bloxham Grove Academy, a new free special school, is currently in the pre-opening phase of planning and while an opening date is not yet confirmed, the Trust hopes that this new provision for students with SEND will open in 2023/24. The school's educational offer will be closely modelled on that provided by Iffley Academy.
The new Academy will cater for 100 students with SEND by year 4 of opening, and it will be co-located with another school on a rural site in North Oxfordshire.
Bardwell School has 95 students on roll and has a strong focus on individualised, inclusive learning. Students are grouped with their age peers in classes where learning is skilfully differentiated to ensure every pupil succeeds and is celebrated in a fully inclusive class and school community.
The Bardwell curriculum provides a framework for teaching and learning in the school, underpinned by assessment from which teachers make judgements as to the appropriate next steps for pupils. This allows teachers to deliver positive, stimulating and challenging learning and is in line with the National Curriculum. When students move into The Lodge (post-16) they have access to entry-level qualifications through the National Open College Network (NOCN). This is delivered alongside personalised learning focused on each student's planned pathway to adulthood.
Orion Academy is a Special Academy for students aged 11 – 18 years, with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health Needs. The academy is situated in Blackbird Leys, Oxford, and accepts students from across Oxfordshire. We are a small, specialised academy, where students are respected, supported and encouraged.
Our students have a range of additional needs, including Autistic Spectrum Condition, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Speech and Language Difficulties, and Specific and Moderate Cognition and Learning Needs. Orion Academy facilitates the social, emotional and academic development of students through a personalised approach that ensures all students are valued. We offer a tailored curriculum which is delivered by a dedicated and experienced staff team.
Orion Academy moved into its new, state of the art school buildings in September 2021.
Northern House Academy is a special school for pupils who have been identified as having Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. All our pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) therefore SEND is at the centre of everything that we do at the school.
Northern House was built in 1824 and has a long history of being an educational establishment for pupils with special and additional needs dating back to 1840. Northern House School officially opened in 1938.
On 1st February 2020, Northern House Academy joined The Gallery Trust – a multi-academy trust based in Oxfordshire. The Gallery Trust is dedicated to providing outstanding education and support for young people with SEND.
Springfield School is a Special Needs School educating children and young people with severe and profound learning difficulties, between the ages of 3 and 16 years in Witney. Springfield School's visit is to educate, equip and enthuse every child to achieve and offers a flexible approach to learning, respecting the individuality of each child.
Springfield School strongly believes in the benefits of integration and inclusion to all and the Early Years and Primary classes are co-located with Madley Brook Community Primary School in a uniquely integrated and purpose built site. Secondary pupils are also located in a purpose built building on the Wood Green Secondary School site. The School works closely with parents, carers and other professionals to promote support for all, sharing of good practice so pupils can reach their goals.
Mabel Prichard School is a community special school for children and young people with complex needs from the age of 2 to 19 years. We believe in enabling every student to discover who they are and to realise their full potential. Our curriculum offers a broad range of opportunities to face challenge; develop independence; prepare for adulthood; discover the world around them; be safe and develop the skills and knowledge to lead a happy, positive and fulfilled life.
Through our strong caring ethos, we support students to respect their whole community, regardless of background, race, gender, faith and disability and to celebrate diversity, so they are able to develop skills of empathy and tolerance in their life ahead.
We believe education plays a pivotal role in developing as individuals, alongside the vital input from families and other professionals whom we enjoy working closely with. The purpose of the school is to create opportunities through education for each student to value themselves and each other; develop confidence; communicate their thoughts and ideas and to enjoy discovering their strengths to take forward in their life ahead.
The Grove is a satellite provision of the Orion Academy. The Grove opened in September 2020 and provides education and nurture to a small group of Key Stage 3 students with a range of complex additional and special educational needs. The team at the Grove support students with their learning, the development of confidence and self-esteem using restorative approaches.

Posters for the International Exhibition of video art, installations and sound sculptures 'Soundart'.
This exhibition shows video art, installations and sound sculptures based on electronic music style. Musicians create experimental sound collages, inspired by music of the bands such as 'Autechre', 'Mantronix', 'Kraftwerk', 'The Black Dog', 'Aphex Twin'.
In the meanwhile, designers create three-dimensional moving sculptures, projected into space. These holographic sculptures can react to the sound, for example, musical compositions playing at the moment. Since the sculptures behave like living creatures, they can be used during concerts as the materialization of the singles.


The concession stands have procedures in place, we just need a volunteer to manage the weekly happenings. Each team will be assigned a week to volunteer during the games. If the shifts are not filled the stands will be closed. Come join in the fun!

Principal photography kicks off at the end of the month with Sean McNamara ('Soul Surfer,' 'Raise Your Voice') behind the camera, directing from a screenplay by Bill Mechanic, James Schamus, Barry Berman and Laura Harrington.

What might be a good choice if I primarily use my TV for gaming?
Just for Gamers
Some of the biggest fans of high-quality televisions have been the people who play video games on console systems. Sharp has introduced a new line of televisions catering specifically to this market, with features to enhance gaming experiences.
The AQUOS 32GP1U is a Sharp 32-inch LCD TV that's capable of the highest possible definition of display (1080p), a "game mode" that optimizes the TV's settings for game play and side-placed terminals for easy access to plug in game consoles.
The set, also available in a 37-inch version, claims a viewing angle of 176 degrees, allowing for multiple-player games in a room without loss of viewing quality.
What if I want a Sharp LCD TV but don't want to spring for an Aquos?
Sharp's Enhanced Definition TVs
"Look," you may be saying, "I just want a TV, OK? I don't want to play Xbox 360 on it or build a home theater or impress my geeky friends with my contrast ratios. I just want to spend as little as possible so I can catch the weather forecast or maybe watch a DVD with the kids."
Sharp's enhanced definition TVs may be a good choice. EDTV is a step between standard definition and high-def, so if you're upgrading from an older TV you'll see a pleasing difference in picture quality.
These Sharp flat screen TVs are available in sizes as small as 13 inches and fit easily into small spaces like kitchens, bedrooms, offices and workshops. And their prices put them within reach for almost anyone.
How did Sharp make a 108" TV?
That 108-Inch TV? How'd They Do That?
The title of "biggest television" has gone to plasma TVs for years. So when a 108-inch Sharp TV -- an LCD TV, not plasma -- showed up at a trade show, the tech world took notice.
It used to be prohibitively expensive to produce very large LCD TVs. Sharp's "8th generation" factory in Japan has a production line that focuses entirely on large-screen AQUOS units.
This has helped to bring down the cost of production, partly through advanced energy conservation and partly through use of the world's largest glass substrates. A single piece of "motherglass" will yield eight 46-inch panels or six 52-inch panels for Sharp flat panel TVs.
What are some pros and cons of the Sharp D62U line?
The D62U Series
Sharp's D62U series came out late in 2006, winning raves from reviewers for its sharp blacks and high resolution, but also garnering some complaints about irregular color bands across the screen.
These Sharp AQUOS televisions were the first new line to come off the company's manufacturing plant in Kameyama, Japan. They were the first Sharp TVs to come in the "piano black" finish, which has proven popular among consumers.
If you buy one of these TVs, expect to spend some time with the picture settings, calibrating them to look right for your environment and tastes.
What about buyers who want good quality at a lower price?
This series of Sharp LCD televisions represents the company's efforts to bring great quality TV into an affordable package.
While the AQUOS D43U series won't appeal to those who have to have the brightest, best new thing, they'll most likely be popular with buyers who want an eye-popping picture, but don't need game-playing capabilities or high-end video options.
Suggested prices start at $1,099 for the 26-inch model, which is likely to go lower once competing retailers start trying to outdo one another.
What's new in the Aquos line?
Sharp brand televisions have a reputation for innovation -- they even won an Emmy for it, back in 2004 -- and the D92U series, announced early in 2007, is another step in that journey.
Sharp claims industry-standard pixel response time and contrast ratios for these sets. In addition, all the models can display 1080p input -- the highest resolution available. This is of special interest to high-def videophiles and gamers, but ultimately yields a better picture for everyone.
Why is the Aquos line special?
Sharp's Aquos Line
In the late 1990s, Sharp television makers set out to conquer the LCD TV market. They did it, and continue to dominate with the AQUOS line of high-quality, high-definition models.
Reviewers consistently praise the Sharp AQUOS televisions, citing high-performance video processing, wide viewing angles and excellent blacks. Many also recommend adjusting the factory default settings, such as turning down a bright backlight, to get the best possible picture.
Which TVs have the lowest power consumption?
Power Usage and the Sharp TV
If you love great TV quality but are concerned about the planet (or just your electric bill) a Sharp TV may be the right choice for you.
CNet compared power consumption for a variety of TVs. A Sharp 20-inch LCD TV topped the lot, costing about $13 a year to run.
Besides keeping your consumption down, Sharp has put a great deal of thought into electricity conservation in its TV manufacturing. Its newest plant gets about a third of its power from renewable sources, such as solar power and fuel cells.

Irish-led Quorum secures $2m for 'WhatsApp with community management'
by Colm Gorey

Quorum, a start-up founded by three Irish engineers, has closed $2m in seed funding to expand its team and its platform.
Quroum, a Dublin-based start-up building a chat platform for creators and service providers to communicate directly to their clients, has raised $2m in seed funding. The round was led by Adjacent and LocalGlobe, with additional backing from Y Combinator and Web Summit's investment arm, Amaranthine.
Founded in 2019 by Irish engineers Patrick Finlay, Romy Lynch and David Newell, the company has been described as "WhatsApp with community management built in".
The three founders previously took part in Y Combinator's programme in San Francisco to create tools for community managers through their former concept, Monaru. However, the team pivoted to the development of Quorum after noticing a lack of administration features in current chat platforms.
Key concerns
Quorum said that the investment round will be used to grow its product team, with roles currently being based remotely, and accelerate the adoption of its subscription chat platform.
"Micro-businesses are under added pressure to provide services digitally as a consequence of Covid-19, and we're incredibly excited to make it easy for them to build a paid community," said Finlay, who is Quorum's CEO.
"We found that creators were concerned about a whole range of missing features from current chat platforms. Simple things like having no control over what kind of media was shared by participants, to bigger problems around privacy and participant data being accessible to all group members, make it a frustrating experience to try and host these conversations on other platforms."
Commenting on his firm's decision to back the start-up, Adjacent's Nico Wittenborn said: "Messaging is currently built around free – and eventually ad-supported – [global] communication. Quorum is building a solution for those that are or could be using text-based communication to earn their livelihood and drive income. I am excited to team up with Quorum and LocalGlobe to build the foundation for this future."

Southwest apologizes after mom says she was asked to 'prove' biracial child was hers
Posted 8:05 am, June 1, 2018, by Tribune Media
DENVER – The past year has been full of airline controversies, and Southwest Airlines is in the middle of the latest one.
Conversation is still swirling around an episode last weekend in Denver in which a white woman was asked to prove that her one-year-old biracial son was hers before they could board a plane.
Lindsay Gottlieb, head coach for the University of California-Berkeley women's basketball team, took to Twitter to claim she was "appalled" after a Southwest ticket counter agent asked for additional paperwork that could verify her relation to the toddler.
"After approx 50 times flying with my 1 year old son, ticket counter personnel told me I had to "prove" that he was my son, despite having his passport. She said because we have different last name. My guess is because he has a different skin color," Gotllieb tweeted.
@SouthwestAir it was demeaning and insensitive, not to mention inefficient. Would have missed flight if it was not delayed. I would advise better training for employees to avoid this happening to others
— Lindsay Gottlieb (@CalCoachG) May 28, 2018
The tweet sparked outrage, but also chatter about the event not being a racial issue but a safety concern.
Model Chrissy Teigen even chimed in. In a response to Gottlieb's tweet, Teigen pointed out that airlines verifying the identity of children is a common occurrence when flying and that it isn't due to racism.
"Airlines have asked this of me, too, with my daughter. once I learned it's a precaution for the very real threat of child trafficking, I stopped being exasperated with it. Now I'm kind of worried when they don't ask," Teigen said.
In a statement sent to CNN, Southwest said certain international flights require them to verify additional paperwork for those traveling with a minor. Domestic travel does not require airlines to match the last names of a child and their guardian, they said.
However, Gottlieb was flying domestically, from Denver to Oakland, California, and she was not alone. Patrick Martin, her fiancé and father of the infant, was present at the ticketing counter when the episode occurred, according to a spokeswoman for the University of California-Berkeley.
@SouthwestAir she 1st asked for proof with birth certificate. She then said it's a "federal law" (not true) but asked me to prove I'm mother with Facebook post.What??Mother next to me said she's never been asked for proof despite diff last name..not shockingly, not mixed face fam
Martin, who is African American, presented his ID, proving that both he and their son carried the same last name. But the agent still pushed her to prove her maternity with a Facebook post, Gottlieb tweeted.
"Being pushed further to 'prove' that he was my son felt disrespectful and motivated by more than just concern for his well-being," Gottlieb told CNN.
According to Gottlieb, she reached out to the airline via Twitter to "make them aware of the incident."
Southwest told CNN that even though their policy includes verifying the age of lap children by reviewing birth certificates or government-issued identification, they didn't mean to disrespect anyone.
"We apologize if our interaction made this family uncomfortable — that is never our intention," the airline told CNN.
Southwest also said in a statement that they reached out directly to Gottlieb "to address her concerns and will emphasize the coaching moment with our employee as we ensure our policies are properly followed."

Feminist Majority Denounces the Passage of HR 7 in the House
The Feminist Majority decries the passage of a dangerous and extreme abortion coverage ban by the US House of Representatives – the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," HR 7. Republicans passed HR 7 by a vote of 227-188 with 221 Republicans voting for the anti-abortion bill and 187 Democrats voting against.

Although HR 7 purports to prevent taxpayer funding for abortion, the bill actually prevents women from using their own money to purchase health insurance that includes abortion care.
"HR 7 is a blatant attack on women's reproductive rights and an attempt to take away a woman's ability to make personal health care decisions, including decisions about abortion," said Feminist Majority president Eleanor Smeal. "This bill flatly puts women's health at risk by dramatically restricting access to abortion coverage."
HR 7 would eliminate tax credits available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for women and families who purchase insurance plans that include abortion coverage through the newly created health insurance marketplaces. It would also force private multi-state insurance plans that participate in the marketplaces to stop providing abortion coverage and withhold the Small Business Tax Credit to those businesses that offer comprehensive health insurance – which includes abortion – to their employees.
"The Affordable Care Act banned health insurance companies from discriminating against women and increased the ability of all Americans to access quality healthcare by extending financial assistance to low- and moderate-income families and individuals," said Smeal. "But HR 7 especially and unfairly targets millions of women by placing comprehensive healthcare out of reach. This attack on women's health care must end."
In particular for women living in the District of Columbia, HR 7 is an extreme piece of legislation. The bill would prevent the District from using its own, locally-raised funds on abortion care for women struggling to make ends meet. These women should not be held hostage to Congress's radical anti-choice agenda.
"Instead of focusing on securing women's economic security and extending unemployment benefits to the millions of long-term jobless in this country, House Republicans have decided to re-launch an assault on women's health and rights, and in the process, threaten the economic well-being of women and their families," said Smeal.

Poet, movie star, rock star, TV and radio presenter, comedian and social commentator. You name it and this glorious British Institution has done it. No wonder his latest book announces that he is the Luckiest Guy Alive.
We are equally lucky that he has chosen to come to the Savoy.


On Friday I mentioned that there would be drinking of gin and sewing. I did indeed sew a skirt. the skirt is the Sewaholic Hollyburn.
I cut the paper pattern out on Thursday evening and settled down to cutting out the fabric on Friday. I didn't rush this stage, with the words of a dressmaking tutor in my head 'spend longer on cutting than you would sewing'. Now I must admit that I'm not fan of the cutting stages, it makes me nervous, its so final and it takes a long time. I impatient and want to get on and sit at my machine and sew. It was gone 11pm when I finished and there was no way I could sew successfully at that hour. Reluctantly I left it and drank more gin.
I did the bulk of the sewing on Sunday evening listening to the Les Miserables film soundtrack. The instructions were easy to follow, the skirt construction had nothing I hadn't already tackled in evening classes or weekend courses. I'd also been following mymessings sewalong so had a good idea what I was up to. It came together easily. I deviated from the pattern instructions and followed My Messings French seam tutorial. This gave the inside of the skirt a lovely neat finish and one I'm very proud of. I decided to hand sew the hem and finished it last night so I could wear it today.
I will definitely make this skirt again, already I'm planning a solid colour version with a contrasting patterned pockets and maybe some piping on the waist band.
Me, in the skirt. I'm wearing it with a navy cardigan and dark brown boots.


Social Security is a program to which all American citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) who work must contribute. It is also used as an important means of identification. International students do not have to pay Social Security or Medicare taxes, but students who work on campus or are eligible to work off campus will need to apply for a social security number.
All international students requesting a social security number must have their passport, I-20 and 1-94 documents, and a "job offer" letter from the school or the employer when applying for the Social Security card. Use your name as it appears on your passport to avoid any confusion at a later date. It might take up to 8 weeks to receive your card after applying for it. Having or not having a Social Security card does not indicate whether a person is authorized to work. Social Security cards for non-immigrants are stamped "Not Valid for Employment," which means that the Social Security Office does not have the authority to authorize employment. Only the USCIS can authorize non-immigrant employments. The Social Security card stamped "Not Valid for Employment" will not prevent you from being employed as long as USCIS has authorized your employment.
NOTE: If you were awarded on-campus employment as a part of your financial aid package, then you will need a U.S. Social Security number before you can start your on-campus employment. You will not be able to apply for a U.S. Social Security number until after you arrive on campus. Once you have applied for the Social Security number, it often takes one to two months of processing time.

A one-time password (OTP), also known as a one-time PIN, one-time authorization code (OTAC) or dynamic password, is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction, on a computer system or other digital device. OTPs avoid several shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) password-based authentication; a number of implementations also incorporate two-factor authentication by ensuring that the one-time password requires access to something a person has (such as a small keyring fob device with the OTP calculator built into it, or a smartcard or specific cellphone) as well as something a person knows (such as a PIN).

OTP generation algorithms typically make use of pseudorandomness or randomness to generate a shared key or seed, and cryptographic hash functions, which can be used to derive a value but are hard to reverse and therefore difficult for an attacker to obtain the data that was used for the hash. This is necessary because otherwise, it would be easy to predict future OTPs by observing previous ones.

OTPs have been discussed as a possible replacement for, as well as an enhancer to, traditional passwords. On the downside, OTPs can be intercepted or rerouted, and hard tokens can get lost, damaged, or stolen. Many systems that use OTPs do not securely implement them, and attackers can still learn the password through phishing attacks to impersonate the authorized user.

Characteristics
The most important advantage addressed by OTPs is that, in contrast to static passwords, they are not vulnerable to replay attacks. This means that a potential intruder who manages to record an OTP that was already used to log into a service or to conduct a transaction will not be able to use it, since it will no longer be valid. A second major advantage is that a user who uses the same (or similar) password for multiple systems, is not made vulnerable on all of them, if the password for one of these is gained by an attacker.  A number of OTP systems also aim to ensure that a session cannot easily be intercepted or impersonated without knowledge of unpredictable data created during the previous session, thus reducing the attack surface further.

There are also different ways to make the user aware of the next OTP to use. Some systems use special electronic security tokens that the user carries and that generate OTPs and show them using a small display. Other systems consist of software that runs on the user's mobile phone. Yet other systems generate OTPs on the server-side and send them to the user using an out-of-band channel such as SMS messaging. Finally, in some systems, OTPs are printed on paper that the user is required to carry.

In some mathematical algorithm schemes, it is possible for the user to provide the server with a static key for use as an encryption key, by only sending a one-time password.

Generation

Concrete OTP algorithms vary greatly in their details. Various approaches for the generation of OTPs include:

 Based on time-synchronization between the authentication server and the client providing the password (OTPs are valid only for a short period of time)
 Using a mathematical algorithm to generate a new password based on the previous password (OTPs are effectively a chain and must be used in a predefined order).
 Using a mathematical algorithm where the new password is based on a challenge (e.g., a random number chosen by the authentication server or transaction details) and/or a counter.

Time-synchronized

A time-synchronized OTP is usually related to a piece of hardware called a security token (e.g., each user is given a personal token that generates a one-time password). It might look like a small calculator or a keychain charm, with an LCD that shows a number that changes occasionally. Inside the token is an accurate clock that has been synchronized with the clock on the proprietary authentication server. On these OTP systems, time is an important part of the password algorithm, since the generation of new passwords is based on the current time rather than, or in addition to, the previous password or a secret key. This token may be a proprietary device, or a mobile phone or similar mobile device which runs software that is proprietary, freeware, or open-source. An example of a time-synchronized OTP standard is Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP). Some applications can be used to keep time-synchronized OTP, like Google Authenticator or a password manager.

Hash chains

Each new OTP may be created from the past OTPs used. An example of this type of algorithm, credited to Leslie Lamport, uses a one-way function (call it ). This one-time password system works as follows:

 A seed (starting value)  is chosen.
 A hash function  is applied repeatedly (for example, 1000 times) to the seed, giving a value of: . This value, which we will call  is stored on the target system.
 The user's first login uses a password  derived by applying  999 times to the seed, that is, . The target system can authenticate that this is the correct password, because  is , which is the value stored. The value stored is then replaced by  and the user is allowed to log in.
 The next login, must be accompanied by . Again, this can be validated because hashing it gives  which is , the value stored after the previous login. Again, the new value replaces  and the user is authenticated.
 This can be repeated another 997 times, each time the password will be  applied one fewer time, and is validated by checking that when hashed, it gives the value stored during the previous login. Hash functions are designed to be extremely hard to reverse, therefore an attacker would need to know the initial seed  to calculate the possible passwords, while the computer system can confirm the password on any given occasion is valid by checking that, when hashed, it gives the value previously used for login. If an indefinite series of passwords is wanted, a new seed value can be chosen after the set for  is exhausted.
 Although the server's counter value is only incremented after a successful OTP authentication, the counter on the token is incremented every time a new password is requested by the user. Because of this, the counter values on the server and on the token might be out of synchronization. It is recommended to set a look-ahead parameter  on the server, which defines the size of the look-ahead window.  In case of an accidental password generation by the user, the server will still authenticate the client, because it can recalculate the next  OTP-server values, and check them against the received password from the client.

To get the next password in the series from the previous passwords, one needs to find a way of calculating the inverse function . Since  was chosen to be one-way, this is extremely difficult to do.  If  is a cryptographic hash function, which is generally the case, it is assumed to be a computationally intractable task. An intruder who happens to see a one-time password may have access for one time period or login, but it becomes useless once that period expires. The S/KEY one-time password system and its derivative OTP are based on Lamport's scheme.

Challenge–response
The use of challenge–response one-time passwords requires a user to provide a response to a challenge. For example, this can be done by inputting the value that the token has generated into the token itself. To avoid duplicates, an additional counter is usually involved, so if one happens to get the same challenge twice, this still results in different one-time passwords. However, the computation does not usually involve the previous one-time password; that is, usually, this or another algorithm is used, rather than using both algorithms.

Implementations

SMS

A common technology used for the delivery of OTPs is text messaging. Because text messaging is a ubiquitous communication channel, being directly available in nearly all mobile handsets and, through text-to-speech conversion, to any mobile or landline telephone, text messaging has a great potential to reach all consumers with a low total cost to implement. OTP over text messaging may be encrypted using an A5/x standard, which several hacking groups report can be successfully decrypted within minutes or seconds. Additionally, security flaws in the SS7 routing protocol can and have been used to redirect the associated text messages to attackers; in 2017, several O2 customers in Germany were breached in this manner in order to gain access to their mobile banking accounts. In July 2016, the U.S. NIST issued a draft of a special publication with guidance on authentication practices, which discourages the use of SMS as a method of implementing out-of-band two-factor authentication, due to the ability for SMS to be intercepted at scale. Text messages are also vulnerable to SIM swap scams—in which an attacker fraudulently transfers a victim's phone number to their own SIM card, which can then be used to gain access to messages being sent to it.

Hardware tokens

RSA Security's SecurID is one example of a time-synchronization type of token, along with HID Global's solutions. Like all tokens, these may be lost, damaged, or stolen; additionally, there is an inconvenience as batteries die, especially for tokens without a recharging facility or with a non-replaceable battery.  A variant of the proprietary token was proposed by RSA in 2006 and was described as "ubiquitous authentication", in which RSA would partner with manufacturers to add physical SecurID chips to devices such as mobile phones.

Recently, it has become possible to take the electronic components associated with regular keyfob OTP tokens and embed them in a credit card form factor. However, the thinness of the cards, at 0.79mm to 0.84mm thick, prevents standard components or batteries from being used. Special polymer-based batteries must be used which have a much lower battery life than coin (button) cells. Semiconductor components must not only be very flat but must minimise the power used in standby and when operating.

Yubico offers a small USB token with an embedded chip that creates an OTP when a key is pressed and simulates a keyboard to facilitate easily entering a long password.  Since it is a USB device it avoids the inconvenience of battery replacement.

A new version of this technology has been developed that embeds a keypad into a payment card of standard size and thickness. The card has an embedded keypad, display, microprocessor and proximity chip.

Soft tokens

On smartphones, one-time passwords can also be delivered directly through mobile apps, including dedicated authentication apps such as Authy and Google Authenticator, or within a service's existing app, such as in the case of Steam. These systems do not share the same security vulnerabilities as SMS, and do not necessarily require a connection to a mobile network to use.

Hard copies

In some countries' online banking, the bank sends to the user a numbered list of OTPs that is printed on paper. Other banks send plastic cards with actual OTPs obscured by a layer that the user has to scratch off to reveal a numbered OTP. For every online transaction, the user is required to enter a specific OTP from that list. Some systems ask for the numbered OTPs sequentially, others pseudorandomly choose an OTP to be entered.

Security

When correctly implemented, OTPs are no longer useful to an attacker within a short time of their initial use. This differs from passwords, which may remain useful to attackers years after the fact.

As with passwords, OTPs are vulnerable to social engineering attacks in which phishers steal OTPs by tricking customers into providing them with their OTPs. Also like passwords, OTPs can be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, making it important to communicate them via a secure channel, for example Transport Layer Security.

The fact that both passwords and OTP are vulnerable to similar kinds of attacks was a key motivation for Universal 2nd Factor, which is designed to be more resistant to phishing attacks.

OTPs which don't involve a time-synchronization or challenge–response component will necessarily have a longer window of vulnerability if compromised before their use. In late 2005 customers of a Swedish bank were tricked into giving up their pre-supplied one-time passwords. In 2006 this type of attack was used on customers of a US bank.

Standardization
Many OTP technologies are patented. This makes standardization in this area more difficult, as each company tries to push its own technology. Standards do, however, exist – for example, RFC 1760 (S/KEY), RFC 2289 (OTP), RFC 4226 (HOTP) and RFC 6238 (TOTP).

Use

Mobile phone

A mobile phone itself can be a hand-held authentication token. Mobile text messaging is one of the ways of receiving an OTAC through a mobile phone. In this way, a service provider sends a text message that includes an OTAC enciphered by a digital certificate to a user for authentication. According to a report, mobile text messaging provides high security when it uses public key infrastructure (PKI) to provide bidirectional authentication and non-repudiation, in accordance with theoretical analysis.

SMS as a method of receiving OTACs is broadly used in our daily lives for purposes such as banking, credit/debit cards, and security.

Telephone

There are two methods of using a telephone to verify a user's authentication.

With the first method, a service provider shows an OTAC on the computer or smartphone screen and then makes an automatic telephone call to a number that has already been authenticated. Then the user enters the OTAC that appears on their screen into the telephone keypad.

With the second method, which is used to authenticate and activate Microsoft Windows, the user call a number that is provided by the service provider and enters the OTAC that the phone system gives the user.

Computer

In the field of computer technology, it is known that using one-time authorization code (OTAC) through email, in a broad sense, and using one-time authorization code (OTAC) through web-application, in a professional sense.

 An email is one of the common ways of using OTACs. There are two main methods used. With the first method, a service provider sends a personalised one time URL to an authenticated email address e.g. @ucl.ac.uk, when the user clicks the URL the server authenticates the user. With the second method, a service provider sends a personalised OTAC (e.g. an enciphered token) to an authenticated email address when the user types the OTAC into the website the server authenticates the user.
 A web application can generate a unique personal identification number (PIN) that the user can input into the desktop client, the desktop client, in turn, uses that code to authenticate itself to the web application. This form of authentication is particularly useful in web applications that do not have an internal username/password store but instead use SAML for authentication. Since SAML only works within the browser, a desktop-based web application client cannot successfully authenticate using SAML. Instead, the client application can use the one-time authorization code (OTAC) to authenticate itself to the web application. In addition, it is possible to use the OAuth authorization framework when a third party application needs to obtain limited access to an HTTP service.

Post
It is possible to send OTACs to a user via post or registered mail. When a user requests an OTAC, the service provider sends it via post or registered mail and then the user can use it for authentication. For example, in the UK, some banks send their OTAC for Internet banking authorization via post or registered mail.

Expansion
Quantum cryptography, which is based on the uncertainty principle is one of the ideal methods to produce an OTAC.

Moreover, it has been discussed and used not only using an enciphered code for authentication but also using graphical one time PIN authentication such as QR code which provides decentralized access control technique with anonymous authentication.

Reuters/Lima
Canadians Marco Arop and Genevieve Lalonde shattered Pan Am Games records and the United States won four gold medals as the track and field competition at the 17-day sporting gathering neared a close on Saturday.
Sudan-born Arop charged home in one minute, 44.25 seconds to win the 800 metres ahead of Puerto Rico's Wesley Vazquez (1:44.48) with both dropping under Cuban Yeimer Lopez's 10-year-old Games record of 1:44.58.
"I'm on top of the world right now," 20-year-old Arop told reporters.
"I was just hoping to win a medal for Canada and to have a personal record and Pan American record is just a bonus." Lalonde blitzed the women's 3,000m steeplechase record by almost seven seconds, the bronze medallist at the 2015 Games stepping up to gold in 9:41:45. "I definitely had to work for it at the end, dropping all my energy into that last barrier and sprinting home," Lalonde said.
"To bring that Pan American Games record home to Canada is special."
The United States' Marisa Howard (9:43.78) and Argentina's Belen Casetta (9:44.46) also were faster than the previous record of 9:48.12 that Ashley Higginson of the United States set in 2015. Another record fell in the men's javelin when Grenada's Anderson Peters threw 87.31 metres to overwhelm Jamaican 2012 Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott (83.55) and better Cuban Guillermo Martinez's 2011 mark of 87.20. The United States also had a banner day in the field.
Gwen Berry (74.62m) and Brooke Andersen (71.07m) led the Americans to gold and silver in the women's hammer throw before compatriot Omar Craddock won the men's triple jump, bounding 17.42m to narrowly defeat Cuba's Jordan Diaz (17.38m). US collegiate champion Chris Nilsen cleared 5.76m on his third attempt for the pole vault title.
On the track, the United States won the women's 4x400m relay in 3:26.46 but Colombia earned a shock win in the men's edition, clocking 3:01.41 to the United States' 3:01.72.
Shane Brathwaite brought gold for Barbados, edging American Freddie Crittenden by one-hundredth of a second to win the 110 metres hurdles in 13.31, while Brazil's Altobeli da Silva won the men's 3,000m steeplechase in 8:30.73.

While issuing advertisement, it should be ensured that it is clear on all aspects mentioned above and that it should be given in the newspapers according to the policy laid down by the Government in the Department of Information and Public Relations. The advertisement is to be given by the Board twice a month on the dates to be prescribed by the Board as per specimen added at Annexure 'C'. A clear period of 20 days be given to the candidates to apply.The application normally sent by the candidates within the prescribed period by registered post may be entertained irrespective of the date of its receipts in the office of the Board.
A scientific method of applications has to be evolved and forward by the Board. While scrutinizing the application, the conditions advertised may be fully kept in view so as to isolate the incomplete applications and ineligible candidates. The applications may be processed as under by the Board: Examination / Scrutiny of applications be started as soon as these start pouring in the office of the Board and this work may be completed within 15 days from the closing date. The work load of scrutinizing the applications should not fall short of 400 applications per day. This process should be on first come first serve basis. There should be a double check of applications at the supervisory level.	Bank Draft/ Postal Orders / Treasury Challans may be removed form the applications on the day on which these are received and entered into the ledger registered the very day or the next day. Complete account of fees received through postal orders and by other methods may be kept. Proper arrangement for getting the postal orders encashed within the permissible time may be made. It is the responsibility of Drawing and Disbursing Officer to ensure that encashment of postal orders is done within the prescribed period and the postal orders may not be allowed to become outdated.
The selection to the posts shall be made by the board in the manner prescribed in the relevant service rules. In other words, if in the relevant rules, any competitive examination is provided that shall be held by the Board. Any particular exercise about physical measurements as in the case of the Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police shall also be got conducted by the Board. Where, however, any specific mode of selection is not provided in the relevant service rules, the Board shall determine a fair method to make selection in consultation with the Department concerned. The posts which are to be filled through interview only, the interview may be completed within 30 days from the date of completion of the scrutiny of applications and result declared simultaneously. The posts of stenographers / typists which are to be filled by the tests, the test be arranged within a month from the date of the completion of the scrutiny of applications and the results declared within 30 days of taking the test. The posts which are to be filled by qualifying / competitive examination, such a test / examination be arranged within 45 days from the date of the completion of the scrutiny of applications. Paper marking in respect of these tests should be completed within thirty days from the closing date of the test / examination and the result declared within the next 30 days. In cases, where selection is to be made by way of test / examination and interview, all process should be completed as enumerated above excepting that the result be declared within 90 days from the closing date of test / examination.
The recommendation of candidates to the departments in accordance with the merit list should be made strictly according to the number of posts intimated by the Department(s) in the requisition within a period of 3 days from the date of declaration of the results as per Government instructions, contained in their circular letter No. 1673-GII-56, dated 22nd March, 1957, a time limit of 6 months has been prescribed for filling up, out of the names recommended by the board, addition vacancies which are not intimated to the Board, when inviting recommendations (sending original intimation / requisition). As per present policy of Government, Board is not to send additional number of candidates to the department(s) therefore, in order to meet the demand for addition vacancies of the same department, the Board may maintain a waiting list for a period of 6 months from the date of its original recommendation. The waiting list should not be valid after the expiry of six months.(Please refer Letter no.3604-GII(S)-57/21982, dated 2nd November,1957. The Board should not club together vacancies advertised at different times for making recommendations from one merit list, unless the post are of the same nature and required the same qualifications, experience and other requirements prescribed therefore. It has been seen that the Board advertised certain posts of a Department and later on similar posts of another Department were advertised. The candidates, who applied for the posts of a particular Department, when recommended to other Department objected to it on the ground that they had not applied for the posts in the other Department. This cause unnecessary inconvenience to the candidates and creates unnecessary work. In order to avoid such instances, Board may advertise similar posts without mentioning the name of the Department to which these relate.
For want of meticulous observance of instructions on various matters relating to recruitment and the scope of functions of the Board many complications arise. These complications are not only of administrative nature, but these also involve financial liability and litigation in courts of law. It is , therefore, very necessary that the staff of the Board should keep itself fully informed/ posted with the Government's policy and instructions so that those can be translated into action inthe working of the Board. The Board should ensure that each dealing official keeps a guide file in regard to his functions like a ready reckoner.
Issuing of advertisement, receipts of applications, scrutinizing of applications removal of postal orders/ Bank drafts etc. and adoption of any alternative methods within the scope of rules for the receipt of applications/ examinations fees, arrangements of dates of interview, are the matters which deserve consideration by the Board from time to time for adopting prompt scheme of working , so that the selection/holding of examination and recommendation of candidates are done in the shortest possible time.
The annual activities of the Board may be brought out in the form of a report just as it is done by the Staff Selection Commission of the Government of India.
