Saregama makes digital audio players cool again
21 Nov, 2017 - 09:58 AM IST | By indiantelevision.com Team
MUMBAI: There is nothing that moves India like music and when it comes to music, who would disagree that songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and even the 80s have touched India like few other things have. Several generations have grown up on singers like Rafi, Lata, Mukesh, Kishore, Sahir, Majrooh, RD, and they became such a part of our lives that they are referred to by their first names. And yet, today, we struggle to get access to their songs. The 40+ Indian living in smaller towns today is not very comfortable with the contemporary music media – be it smartphones, memory sticks, or download options.
Saregama has launched its first ever digital and TV film for its hot new product - a portable digital audio player with in-built stereo speakers and 5000 evergreen Hindi songs inside called Saregama Carvaan.
Saregama wanted to capture and portray the depth of emotions and the role that music, and by its extension Carvaan can play in people's lives. Ad agency The Womb wanted to stay away from the casual, the flippant, or the superficially happy-clappy world of gifting advertising.
The film showcases the couple as they move through life and how a song is an integral part of their relationship. It is the husband's stress buster, it is his solace, his happiness and joy. It is also his 'lori'! Until one day, the wife passes away and the song ceases to exist. The son has observed the song, its role in the relationship of his parents and how troubled is his father. He brings along Carvaan as a gift which may never replace the mother but most surely can bring the song and associated memories back to life.

Letter obtained by BuzzFeed News presents the Louisiana governor to Republican donor class as a "once-in-a-lifetime leader." No mention of his recent criticism of Islam, though.
Bobby Jindal speaks at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa.
The coalition of allies and boosters who recently launched a super PAC to get Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal elected president is making its first major pitch to Republican donors, according to a letter obtained by BuzzFeed News.
The mission: Convince the GOP's big-ticket contributors that Jindal will be more than the single-digit also-ran that early 2016 primary polls make him out to be.
The recently formed "Believe Again" PAC began sending letters out to conservative donors on Wednesday touting Jindal as a "once-in-a-lifetime leader." Signed by former Louisiana congressman and PAC chairman Bob Livingston, the one-page letter argues that Jindal is "the rare person who has proven he can take big ideas and turn them into lasting change."
Among Jindal's accomplishments listed in the letter are the ethics reforms and tax cuts he has helped pass as governor, along with his controversial battle with the Department of Justice over the education overhauls he implemented in Louisiana.
"But the best way to convey his success is to tell you about the result," Livingston writes. "For the first time in generations, more people are moving to Louisiana than leaving it. Our economy is not just growing, it's thriving."
Absent from the letter is any mention of the various culture war fights Jindal has been picking in recent months — from his high-profile championing of the Duck Dynasty family a year ago to his recent criticism of Islam. As BuzzFeed News reported last year, Jindal has been methodically building a network of grassroots contacts on the religious right, speaking frequently on issues of religious freedom, and privately counseling with the conservative Christian power broker Tony Perkins.
Jindal's inner circle believes his compelling conversion story and marrow-deep Christian devotion — he calls himself an "Evangelical Catholic" — will help him appeal to the religious conservatives in Iowa, among other places. Just last weekend, Jindal hosted a widely publicized prayer rally in Baton Rouge.
But the Republican donor class generally skews more secular and tends to pick its horses based on successes in the economic arena, not social conservative bona fides. Jindal, like many of his prospective 2016 primary opponents, will thus likely spend much of the primary dual-broadcasting messages to the conservative base and the GOP elites.

Miriam Sue Grace 'Boo' Guerrero
Gone to soon, Miriam was called home to our Lord and Savior on November 4, 2020.
Miriam, more affectionately known as Boo, was born in Montebello, Ca. on February 11, 1987 to Mary & Archie Guerrero. Boo was a welcomed addition to the family, the baby sister to brothers David and Paul 'Wally' and sister Stephanie. At the end of 1990 the Guerrero family moved to Tucson, Arizona. Though it was difficult for them to leave their family behind in California, a new life awaited them in Arizona. When old enough, Boo went to Lulu Walker Elementary and met her oldest friends there. She went on to attend La Cima Middle School and Amphi High School. Her friends would all agree that she was funny & fearless.
As an adult, she explored many different interests, forming new friendships, and her most close relationship with God. Boo frequently took the time to share what she learned from the Bible and at church with others. She carried a Bible with her, brought friends and others she loved to church with her so they could feel and know the Truth about how much God loves us. Boo was marveled at that kind of love and acceptance from the Lord and wanted to be sure everyone else knew the same.
Miriam's next venture was into motherhood, and she was blessed with three beautiful children, Nehemiah Paul Guerrero, Niyannah Faith Guerrero and Nathaniel Mark Ochoa. She was so proud of her babies, and only wanted the very best possible lives for them. Near or far, she loved them all and carried each of them in her heart always.
Boo had a genuine love for music, whether it was worship music, R&B, Christian rap – it spoke to her and helped her through difficult times. She loved funny movies and TV shows, something her and her brother Wally shared an interest in. She was a great help in the kitchen, cooking alongside her mom. She became interested in fitness and eating healthy, sharing many walks & talks with her sister Steph and her nephews. She enjoyed spending time with her brother David and had many late-night talks with him about anything and everything. Boo was the baby of the family, and was also the best gift to her dad, since she was born on his birthday. They shared many similarities, and were more alike than either of them will admit.
Boo formed relationships with many people in her life, she had a closeness with them and the void of not having her here is felt by many. All sharing many fond and fun memories with her. She leaves behind an army of cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and friends, all of whom loved her.
Our family is not the same without her, she was funny, she was smart, she had style, she was beautiful, she was caring, she was strong, she was honest, she was fearless – she was our Boo. We will miss hearing her voice, laughter, tears and joy. We love you Miriam and we will never stop loving you.
Join us in celebrating Boo's life at GAP ministries 2861 N Flowing Wells Rd #121 Tucson, Az 85705 on Saturday, December 5, 2020 an 2:00pm. Due to restrictions put in place for the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, there will be a limit on the number of people that can attend at one time. Please contact someone from the Guerrero family if you have any questions.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in honor of Boo to her church: GAP ministries 2861 N Flowing Wells Rd #121 Tucson, Az 85705.


You may have noticed in my last couple of posts, that I'm really feeling the faux fur this season! Recently I shared a 'How to' guide with some examples of how I love to style faux fur. In case you missed it, you can catch up here.
The texture of this particular faux fur is divine, and the length is perfect for wearing with skinny jeans (which I practically live in). Here I styled it with some black skinnies and kept the look all black with a roll neck and classic Ray-Bans.
I added a splash of autumn colour in the form of my beloved caramel Chloe bag but I think a bright red bag would work too!!
I'm feeling like my penchant for faux fur coats may be getting out of hand, but they really are the ideal autumn attire to keep you warm and cosy whilst packing a big old style punch. I loveeeee that faux fur can be dressed down to look edgy or dressed up for night time, making your outfit stand out even when it's too cold not to wear a coat.
What I was pleasantly surprised about with this one was the multiple front fastenings for those really chilly days. It also has handy pockets, and did I mention it's under £50?!? How is this possible?!
All I'm saying is, after bagging this beaut, I'm gonna be popping my head into Matalan more often!!

Why Leah McSweeney Thinks Ramona Lied About Donating Plasma
Did Ramona Singer from RHONY tell a tall tale about donating her plasma because of her "strong antibodies," or is Leah just giving her a hard time?
Fans of The Real Housewives of New York fans want to know why Leah McSweeney thinks Ramona Singer lied about donating plasma during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two women have never seen eye to eye when it comes to the worldwide pandemic. Singer was often jet-setting back and forth to Florida. Meanwhile, McSweeney wore a mask and stayed put.
The 64-year-old mother of one Ramona has never had an issue with lying in order to save her own image, but she has recently been called out for her misleading social media posts. After being diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus, Singer claimed she had donated her plasma, saying, 'I got tested, and I had strong antibodies." Even though McSweeney (who was accused of assault by Heather Thomson) got the housewife to slightly retract her false statement, she still wasn't satisfied.

During the latest episode of the franchise, Singer was branded "morally bankrupt" by her fellow housewives. This happened after a wine tasting led to multiple accusations that she lied about donating plasma. McSweeney was quick to pounce on the OG, as Ramona also claimed that her daughter Avery donated her plasma. Some fans didn't think that Singer really knew what she was talking about. When asked by producers if she donated, Singer responded, "We both found out we have the antibodies, so we donated our plasma."
Sometimes, the reality queen tells stories with holes in them. Fans speculated that this story might be one of them. The whole issue came down to false representation, as Leah noted that to donate the plasma, they would have had to take Ramona's blood more than once. Leah told hotheaded Aries Ramona that she wasn't going to back down. Leah said, "No, I'm not going to stop. I just want to know if you donated it or not. I feel like to lie is very unethical."
Most of the women already knew Singer was caught in her lie due to her red face. She appeared embarrassed. Eventually, Ramona stormed off from the table so she could have a meltdown in the bathroom. Most Bravo fans feel that Leah was right for pushing the "Singer Stinger," especially since she seemed to behave callously throughout the COVID-19 pandemic last year. At times, Ramona acted like she was above the CDC rules. Ramona, who is known as a reality star that the other housewives get mad at, even caused issues with filming for the other women.

Tesla Could Be Facing More Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Home > Blog > Tesla Could Be Facing More Wrongful Death Lawsuits
posted on Aug 15, 2019.
As the technology in vehicles enhances, we have to wonder if sometimes we aren't the guinea pigs of automakers' new improvements. While we hope you or your loved ones never need a Sherman Oaks wrongful death lawyer, the team at Mancini & Associates is ready to step in on your behalf. Today, we want to talk about a case against the automaker Tesla out of Florida that could have implications across the US, including here in California.
What is going on with these Teslas?
Today, we want to bring you a story coming out of Florida, but one that links back to our state. We have learned that the family of a Florida man who died when his Tesla collided with a semi-truck has filed a lawsuit against the automaker. They allege that their "defective" autopilot system was at fault in the crash.
An attorney for Jeremy Banner's family filed the lawsuit in Palm Beach County. Banner died on March 1, 2019, when his 2018 Tesla Model S slammed into a semi-truck that crossed his path on a Florida highway. This was considered an underride truck accident that sheared the roof of the Tesla off. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says that Tesla's autopilot had been on for 10 seconds before the crash occurred. The vehicle was traveling at around 68 mph at the time of the incident.
The lawsuit referred to a similar accident in 2016 that involved Tesla's autopilot system on the same highway and also involving a semi-truck.
How does this link to California?
These incidents have also happened here in California. On January 22, 2019, a Tesla collided with a fire truck in Culver City, Los Angeles. There was also a crash on March 23, 2018, that involved two cars in Mountainview, California.
The lawsuit mentioned above says that Tesla "specifically knew that its product was defective and would not properly and safely avoid impacting other vehicles and obstacles in its path."
Tesla says that autopilot mode is safe when used properly and that drivers must be prepared to take control of the vehicle at all times.
We are ready to help you through this
If you have lost a loved one due to a defective product, you need to secure legal assistance as soon as possible. At Mancini & Associates, we know that defective products are everywhere. Above, we see these cases developing against automaker Tesla. We also know that many recalls take place each year in the US. Our team will get to work on your case so we can secure the compensation you deserve if you've lost a loved one. This can include:
Funeral and burial expenses
Cost of pre-death medical care
Loss of future income and benefits of the deceased
Mental anguish damages
Loss of consortium or companionship damages
Punitive damages against those responsible

It was another baking hot day for us parkrunners to enjoy this weekend. I was on the way to Lords to watch the cricket, so had a look for a parkrun near a railway station about 1/2 hour from Paddington. I found one that fitted the bill nicely which was Upton Court parkrun, just over a mile away from the station. The course was 2 full laps of the park and on one of the laps we did a circuit of an adjacent field. It was a very friendly parkrun and the Race Director came up to talk to me before the start to check where I was from (No doubt have clocked my new Langport Runners vest). I even got a mention in the run report which was nice. I needed to catch a train ASAP so worked out if I could do a sub 25 min run I could get to Stroud Station and get the 10.00am train and arrive at Paddington for 10.25 and a little jog to Lords, sit down for the first delivery at 11.00. I am pleased to say I was spot on with my timings and sat down to watch the first ball being bowled.
Well done to Dave and Sarah for their PB runs at Street. It was close at the business end of our table this week with Karen coming out on top with Wendy and Liz in joint 2nd place having both recorded exactly the same percentage score.

If the principal determines that a student's grooming or dress violates this policy, the student shall be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school. If not corrected, the student shall be assigned to in-school suspension for the remainder of the day or until the problem is corrected.
Repeated dress code offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action.

I like it, it's a bit different than most self-portraits I see and I think you really managed to emote the quizzicalness of your expression. But it's a bit of a shame that the part that draws the most attention (besides your expression) is also the least refined, ie the black tape. And as it goes downward, the bridge of your nose gets rather broad.

First of all, I forgot to say last month that Danny Kelly printed the September envelopes. Thanks so much, Danny.
This month, the part that looks professional was printed by Ron Hilton, and the rest is mine. Thank you, Ron. I called up Ivan to see if we could hurry the mailing, and then realized I didn't have envelopes. I bought my C&P with the idea that it needed a lot of work before I could print on it, but it seems to work in a pinch, even with rollers that look like they've been eaten by a monster. I was very happy to remember the envelopes Ron had sent with the infomation already printed on them. The rooster is from the collection of Ralph Babcock, courtesy of Ivan D. Snyder.
It's an amazing bundle, with the Ink Cahoots, and another booklet in there. I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone, but I continue to be amazed at what people put out, and I'm so thankful for a full mailbox.
The rush is that my grandpa was dying, and yesterday he did die, and so the kids and I are headed back to Minnesota again. He was 92 and and a father of six, and had been a referee, a candy shop owner, and a mess sergeant in the army in WWII, among other things. He spent a lot of time in Oberammergau in Germany at the end of the war. He was a terrific dancer, loved cribbage, seemed universally liked, and was very funny. A couple of days ago he told my mom on the phone, "well, I'll see you at the funeral." My grandma, who died last summer, was his high school sweetheart, and though they never seemed to get along, they did stick together. He lived on his own, doing great, until last week, and I'm thankful for that. Then he went into the hospital, called us all to say goodbye, and left. Way to go, Grandpa.Rest in Peace, Iver Eggenberger.


Jeanette Farley (Nov. 5, 1920 – June 13, 2016) always had a welcoming smile for everyone! That message was the "take-away" theme from her memorial service today. No one that knew her did not know Jeanette's smile lit up the room.
I first met Mrs. Farley when I was an undergraduate student using the Kentucky Library. Her desk was in the middle of the research room. She was so approachable by a student new to the use of Library Special Collections. My respect for her grew when I became a student worker; she was never too busy to help me. She was a role model of how librarians should work with researchers and mentor historians and future librarians. In 1982, she retired from WKU Libraries.
Always a life lesson teacher, Mrs. Farley gave her sons the following poem as she approached her senior years.
We will miss you, Mrs. Farley, you serve the Kentucky Building well.
Summertime and the Researchers are Exhilarating!
Summertime for many people marks a time of relaxation, peace and quiet, but not if you are at the Research Assistance Desk for Library Special Collections. In the last five days, I have explored the wealth of information WKU Libraries has collected in the last 90 years with researchers from Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Logan County, Simpson and Warren Counties in Kentucky.
"Boy, do you know how to ruin a person's day ! ! ! I'll be on this site until my eyes give out! Thank you SO VERY MUCH. . . Back to the computer screen ! ! ! Forget the dust and the weeds in the garden ! ! !" When describing her discovery at our page http://www.wku.edu/library/dlsc/discovery.php , the researcher said she spent the rest of the day looking at various items. Later she sent me an electronic copy of her newsletter using the photograph of Phoebe Ann Pittman Flowers. Its citation points more Logan County researchers to kencat.wku.edu. The second Monday researcher got so excited at finding her information that she hugged me (a first in my 31 years as an archivist and librarian).
Wednesday by phone I taught online research via KenCat to a Floridian seeking to complete her Daughters of the American Revolution application with a family Bible's genealogical pages that our family surname files. Our second phone call of the day was from a researcher who spent his Bowling Green research day repairing his car's alternator rather than searching for an obituary of a Bowling Green woman who was run over by a train on a Bell County, Kentucky, railroad bridge in 1919. His expertise in genealogy had made him hope he could solve a question nagging his neighbor about the death. The Louisiville Courier-Journal lacked the detail he hoped to find in a local newspaper. Unfortunately few Warren County newspapers before 1922 were saved; thus far, our holdings search has been in vain. Perhaps someone will bring us an original from their attic soon.
Among our favorite researchers are those who arrive, having found KenCat.wku.edu and TopScholar.wku.edu , to view primary sources. At 8:55 a.m., a North Carolina couple literally could not wait any longer for our doors to open. They knew they wanted the Enochs Mine store ledger from MSS 29. In it they found proof that their ancestor worked and lived in Ohio County, Kentucky from July 1886 to 1891.
We invite you to explore our online catalog for non-book materials. KenCat has a new homepage, navigation, and search system. You do not have to be interested in genealogy or history to find the "random image" or original item that delights you.
Comments Off on Summertime and the Researchers are Exhilarating!
The Department of Special Collections recently added a first edition of a book composed of a beautifully illustrated poem by Madison Julius Cawein.
Let us do the best that we can, I say!
See this book and other poetry written by Cawein at the Special Collections library. Search the collection by using KenCat, TopSCHOLAR and the One Search online catalog.
WKU's Department of Library Special Collections (DLSC) recently added a discovery sharing page to its website that allows patrons to share items that they found in Special Collections and how the material aided their research. Our first respondent was Michelle Dilliha, a local CPA and owner of Front Porch Rentals. Dilliha has been responsible for adapting historic properties into multi-family living arrangements. Most of these properties have been in the College Heights Historic District. Before purchasing another property in which her company was interested, Dilliha came to Special Collections to see if the house's original drawings existed.
DLSC owns over 1500 sets of architectural drawings, chiefly from Bowling Green. Although a number of architects are represented, the majority of them come from James Maurice Ingram (1905-1976), Frank D. Cain (1922-1994), Joseph P. Wilk (1926-1994), and Bill Finley (b. 1939). By providing some details about the property including the address of an early resident–which Michelle gleaned from city directories–the DLSC staff was able to locate the drawings by James Maurice Ingram. The original drawings provided information about the structure that was helpful in evaluating how the house had evolved over the years and the best way to handle several unusual details during renovation.
Dilliha was happy to find the drawings and was equally impressed with DLSC's staff who were "extremely helpful" and "went above and beyond" expectations. A basic database for searching the architectural drawings is available in-house; approximately 25% of the drawings have been cataloged in DLSC's catalog KenCat.
Comments Off on Your Discovery!
Maria Lewis, Library Assistant in the Department of Library Special Collections (DLSC), recently completed the 2013-2014 year-long training through the Staff Leadership Institute.

The program is sponsored by the Staff Council and Human Resources. Selection for participation in the program is competitive and requires recommendation and approval by supervisors and departments. The program notes that it "seeks to enhance job performance and personal development skills while challenging the spirit of each individual who participates." Maria enjoyed the diversity of people and tasks in the program and learning more about the life of campus and how things work together. The Library Special Collections department is pleased that Maria was chosen to participate and was among the 2014 recent graduates. Congratulations to Maria!

When you're at home, you might find that your day is dictated by the watch on your wrist or the time on your phone. But when you're here as our guest, you're on Fiji time. You'll find life slows down a little, and no one is too fussed about what hour it is.
The population here is made up of indigenous Fijians and a melting pot of different cultures: descendants of settlers from India, Europeans, people of mixed race, Chinese, and Pacific Islanders. One thing you can be sure of though, our renowned warmth and hospitality stretches across every group.
The bulk of the population speak Fijian and Hindi as their first languages, but we're united by English. Most people here speak it, and everyone is fluent in helping visitors find their way around. That's something you never need to worry about when you stop by.
There's one word you'll hear pretty much everywhere when you're out and about in Fiji: bula. It's our universal greeting and it speaks volumes. It's a way to welcome someone when they arrive, say hello, hi there, g'day or cheers, wish someone good health and even ask 'how are you'? If there's one thing that's worth doing quickly when you arrive, it's picking up the habit of saying 'bula!' - you'll find a friendly, smiling response is never far behind.

Co-op is an educational experience which integrates academic and career interests with industry experience. Students convert theory into practice, applying classroom knowledge to work situations, learning information and skills to enhance future coursework.
Cornell Engineering students are self-reliant, ready, confident in their abilities, and eager to learn. Employers who hire Co-ops gain more than outstanding apprentices-they have the opportunity to observe and groom prospective full-time employees.
28 weeks or more of work includes a semester plus a summer.
Co-ops are paid work positions; students receive a transcript notation upon successful completion of the program.
Most Co-op students attend Co-op Summer Session.
Students typically complete their work terms as Juniors in the Fall semester and following Summer.
Semester and Summer: some employers post positions with the expectation that students will work a semester and the following summer (ie: Fall 2019, returning Summer 2020).
Semester with Summer Optional: some employers post positions for just a semester (ie: Fall 2019) with the following summer (Summer 2020) being optional for the employer to invite the students to accept or decline.
Continuous 28 Weeks: some employers post positions that are a continuous 28 weeks of work (ie: Summer/Fall 2019) or (ie: Spring/Summer 2020).
Hiring for Fall 2019 or Spring 2020 Co-op Positions?
Amazing Cornell Engineering students are seeking opportunities.
Please contact Julie at engr_coop@cornell.edu or 607-255-3512.
This year, employers are welcome and encouraged to recruit in the fall for co-op students! Although we will have our traditional recruiting activities in the spring, this is your opportunity to engage with these students sooner.
This could be for the following co-op terms: Spring/Summer 2020, Summer/Fall 2020, and/or Fall 2020/Summer 2021.
...my Co-op assignment was probably the single most influential experience during my time at Cornell. Hands down, it was the best decision I've made for my education after deciding to come to Cornell in the first place.

Федра () — дочка критського царя Міноса й Пасіфаї, друга дружина Тесея, мати Демофонта й Акаманта. За міфами, вона закохалася в Тесеєвого сина Іпполіта, що призвело до смерті їх обох.

Сюжет злощасної любові Федри до пасинка знайшов відображення в ряді художніх творів, найвідомішими з яких стали трагедії «Іпполіт» Евріпіда, «Федра» Сенеки і «Федра» Расіна.

Зображена в Аїді на картині Полігнота в Дельфах: її тіло хитається, підвішене на мотузці. Дійова особа в трагедії Софокла «Федра». Овідій написав листа Федри до Іпполіта (Героїди IV).

Maybe it's the "Madden Curse", but the drama surrounding Peyton Hillis' contract situation is thick. Hillis should be the go-to guy in Cleveland's offense, at least for now.
Through the first four games of the 2010 NFL season, Peyton Hillis had rushed for 322 yards on 66 carries and already had 4 touchdowns. For his accomplishments, Hillis was voted as Madden 2012's cover boy by the fans. Peyton Hillis was finally making a name for himself.
Peyton was drafted in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos. He played his college ball at Arkansas, where he paved the way for Felix Jones and Darren McFadden. Following last season, it appeared that Hillis was finally being talked about as a solid number one running back, in the same breath as Jones and McFadden.
Hillis is still being talked about, and he's still the number one guy in the Browns backfield, but the question now is… For how long?
Through the first four games of the 2011 season, Hillis has played in only three games, and has totaled 197 yards on 54 carries and 2 touchdowns. Cleveland's number one tailback, missed a game against the Miami Dolphins, reportedly because of strep throat.
You would think that a player with Hillis' style of play, would be given a break, if he was sick, for at least one game. I mean, his agent even advised him to sit out the Miami game, so why wouldn't he?
Since that game, Hillis' future with the team has come to the forefront of the media's attention in Cleveland. Hillis has watched everyone around him sign contract extensions, even linebacker Chris Gocong got one. So what's taken Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert so long to extend Hillis?
There's a thousand rumors as to why Hillis missed the Miami game, most notably the one where he sit the game out because of his contract issues.
In my opinion, Hillis doesn't really fit Cleveland's version of the west coast offense. I think the Browns' front office truly believes that Montario Hardesty is a better fit in the offense over Hillis. Who cares if he came close to setting the NFL record for most drops in a game, right?
How can the front office be so sure Hardesty can stay healthy?
We sort of know why the front office was so high on Hardesty last year, but I'm not ready to nix the injury theory just yet. Hardesty played well in place of Hillis against Miami, but he looked like a rookie against the Titans.
Injuries plagued Hardesty in college, and his first year as a pro was missed due to injury. In other words, he has a history of injuries, and in a league where backs have a short shelf-life anyway, that's not good.
According to statistics, the offense performs better when Hillis is the main feature.
Colt McCoy threw the ball 61 times last week against the Titans…61! Who does he think he is, Tom Brady? Peyton Manning? Play selection is critical for success in the NFL and so far this season, Pat Shurmur looks as if he has taken on too much as a first year head coach.
Cleveland's highest number of running plays came against the Indianapolis Colts. In that game, Shurmur called 34 running plays and 32 passing plays. The result, a 27-19 win that wasn't even really that close. In comparison, against the Titans, Shurmur called 61 passing plays, and only 22 run plays. The result of that one, a 31-13 blowout at the hands of Tennessee.
If you want to succeed right now, the offense needs to run through Hillis. It's Hillis, not Hardesty, deserves the bulk of touches.
Peyton Hillis doesn't drop the ball. Fumble, maybe, but he catches the damn ball.
It was agonizing watching Hardesty drop all those passes against the Titans. While Hardesty was pulling his best Braylon Edwards impersonation, I kept yelling at anyone that would listen, "Hillis doesn't drop the ball!"…followed by words not meant for younger readers.
Hardesty was thrown to nine times in the Tennessee game, catching five and dropping four. Hillis, on the other hand, was thrown to six times, catching five. If anyone deserved to be the primary back in the key situations during the game, it was Hillis, not Hardesty.
Hillis is not the long-term answer for the Browns.
As good of a player as Hillis is, I don't believe he's the answer moving forward for the Browns at tailback.
If the Browns want to be successful in 2011, I think Hillis is the answer, but only because I don't believe that Holmgren and Heckert have all the pieces in place for their offense and it's going to take a year or two before the players in place are comfortable with the offense, most notably Colt McCoy.
I think the vision of the front office is to have an offense similar to New England's and Green Bay's. Neither team really has a featured back, and throwing the ball 40-50 times is the norm. The Saints run an offense that depends heavily on the quarterback and don't necessarily have a featured back either.
Browns starting linebacker and former Saint, Scott Fujita, compared McCoy to a young Drew Brees. Obviously McCoy has a long way to go before he's on Brees' level and has a long way to go before he can be relied on to throw the ball a majority of the time.
The thing is, I think that's the direction the Cleveland front office wants to go – to throw the ball more often than not, and run the ball enough to keep the defense honest. Hardesty, if healthy, and Armond Smith better suit the Browns' version of the west coast offense.
Obviously there's still a need for a fullback, a position that Hillis should know well enough to play. However, I'm not sure that his success as a tailback will allow his ego to make that switch.
For now, though, the offense should evolve around Hillis. The Indianapolis game was far-and-away the team's best game of the year. Hillis only rushed for 94 yards, but he had 2 scores and 27 rushes. He also caught the ball 4 times for 23 yards.
McCoy is not ready to have all the pressure of having the offense run through him. He need's Hillis' experience and physical style of play to open-up the things he wants to do through the passing game. If the offense continues to be below-average, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Browns decide to hire an offensive coordinator and delegate Shurmur to strictly head coaching duties.
There's rumors that Hillis is going to demand a trade, that the dispute isn't about money but in fact, the length of the contract and number of guaranteed years. The fact that Hillis and the front office can't agree on the length also tells me that the front office doesn't necessarily see Hillis as the future of the Browns backfield.
The problem with Hillis not fitting in our West Coast Offense is that we don't have a WCO. With McCoy completing over 70% of his passes in his college offense, he should be completing 80% in a WCO. With the Tennessee defense playing back to prevent any scores, McCoy should, by all rights be completing the passes he did. All he did last week was raise his completion %. He did nothing to win the game. And isn't the bottom line, winning? The Browns go 4-12 on the year but McCoy completes 74% of his passes? 3 of them were over 10 yards. What good does that do us.
Personally, I think the biggest problem this year has been Shurmur. What a poor display of play calling last week. On the short passes, McCoy is kind of reminding me of DA. Derek couldn't hit the short passes over the middle either, but he could throw the ball more than 10 yards.
I think we have a better team than we are showing so far this year. Colt has been sacked 3 times this year. Thats right up at the top of the NFL leaders, so the O line is obviously doing it's job. The receivers aren't helping alot with all their dropped passes, and the running backs haven't helped alot either. Hardesty dropping 4 passes last week alone. I see MAYBE another 5-11 season this year, if we catch a break or 2. Otherwise 4-12.
Only in Cleveland can this happen. Vickers was allowed to leave and Hillis was supposed to carry the load this season. So, now there is a controversy about the RB? In what universe? Play him and sign him . . . make it a 3-year deal, if unwilling to commit. You certainly are not going to burn a 1st round choice on a RB in 2012 — that looks to be a LB or 2, maybe a WR. RB had a "pile", remember? Look to add a RB in the mid-rounds next year and possibly look for one in 2013. Sheesh.
This sounds like one of those jackasses on ESPN. I used to subscribe to some nonsense written about the Browns by I think a child, and now guess I will have to unsubscribe here also.
If you are in Cleveland you should move. Peyton Hillis is one of the best players we have had in ages. Then the comparison to that basketball player (can't say what I call him).. That made me so damn mad. All you all have no frickin clue what you are talking about as most of the media is guilty of, you just try to get some controversy going on.
Shut up and get another job.

WHY STUDY AT PRAGUE FILM SCHOOL?
Praxis-oriented: One would be hard-pressed to find a program that provides as much practical exposure to filmmaking. More than 400 films are shot per year at Prague Film School and students in the year program participate in as many as 30 productions. The operating principle of Prague Film School is training, and we believe as with instruments or with languages, the only way to develop fluency is to practice. High-end facilities: Prague Film School is well-stocked with the latest cutting-edge equipment used in professional film productions throughout the world. Students have immediate access to the school's fleet of cameras, including RED, Arri, Canon and Sony high definition cameras, in addition to high-end lighting, sound, and grip.
Intensive: The type of student who chooses Prague Film School comes to us because he or she has essentially only one year in terms of time or financial resources to cross from where he or she is in life at the moment into the world of professional filmmaking. We then have only one year to bring these students to a level of competence where they can operate professionally. As such the program is highly squeezed.
Faculty-student relations: Core faculty is brought in from around the world. While all teachers are accomplished professional filmmakers, their primary purpose in Prague is to teach students at Prague Film School. The dynamics are then what you find at exclusive boarding schools and small colleges in the U.S., where the teachers are highly devoted to their students and accessible. Faculty also embody the school's ideology of integrating European art-house with American independent cinemas.
The diversity of student body: In a student body of 60 students, 25-30 countries are represented. Nearly every other student is from a different part of the world, but there's a sub-cultural glue binding them together. Students live and breathe film together.
Liberalism: Most students at our school have completed undergraduate studies and see their time at film school as a cherished chance to wed their deep interests with a vocation. As such, the administration treats all students as responsible adults and trusts students to take full responsibility for their studies. The school does not interfere with students' artistic choices.
Prague: Prague is one of those very rare cities that manages to combine cosmopolitanism with intimacy and beauty. Its magic is apparent to just about anyone fortunate enough to spend some time here. Prague is a major European film center with one of the continent's largest and oldest film studios. The city is regarded as the world's most beautiful capitals and productions come from all over the globe to capitalize on the city's beauty and film resources. For a film student, Prague is a dream city, providing a setting for virtually any type of film, a charismatic metropolitan buzz for inspiration and affordability still unique in the developed world.
Films made in the course of the year program reflect a gradual progression from the basics of filmmaking to the successful completion of a well-crafted film. Each stage of the process is developed under the supervision of the faculty whose courses cover theoretical and technical topics aimed at deepening knowledge and honing technical skills.
The year program is divided into two semesters. First semester, each student completes foundation courses in screenwriting, directing, cinematography and editing. Students also enroll in two elective courses while receiving additional training in sound, lighting, camera movement and grip.
In the first-semester Documentary Production course, students complete numerous shooting assignments designed to develop critical skills in documentary film language, camera technique and editing. Lectures, demonstrations, screenings, and analytical exercises provide the foundation for the fieldwork.
Each participant shoots his or her own film.
Covering screenwriting, directing, camera, editing, and sound, the four-week summer workshops at Prague Film School are designed to lead the student from story idea to finished short film.
The semester program at Prague Film School is a highly-intensive, praxis-oriented course with a steep learning curve. The objective of the program is to instruct concrete craft skills through substantial production and course work. By the program's end, students will have developed a certain fluency in both the technical aspects of filmmaking and in film language in general.
The second-year program aims to refine and broaden filmmaking skills through master classes and full-time work on film sets. The second-year program is also oriented towards training talented students for the production of longer format projects using more advanced technologies (Arri Alexa, RED Epic).
The first semester of the second year program is driven by master class workshops with visiting filmmakers, coursework, consultations and film projects. The semester also incorporates preproduction and preparation for the films which will be shot and edited the second semester.


I have been a Christian for about 8.5 years and I would like to say that I've been able to trust in my God and Savior with my whole heart. The problem is that is simply not the case. While I have learned and grown through the years I still have a lot of distrust. Right now, my family is barely scraping by financially. I am working multiple part time jobs trying to pay the bills after leaving a well paying job because I was being asked to do things I did not agree with morally or ethically and despite having good references and a pretty solid resume I cannot find anything full time.
It has been very difficult and taxing on all of us.
Don't be afraid. I am with you wherever you go, even to the ends of the earth. I will not leave you or forsake you.
I write this not as a petition for sympathy, which stems from pride, but as an encouragement to myself along with anyone else struggling with fear. Fear is a tool of the enemy; he uses it to manipulate and control us into forgetting and doubting our Father. May this be a blessing to someone somewhere for the honor and glory of our Father and Most High Priest, Jesus.

No residential tax hike for 4 years, vows Haywood
Lexi Bainas
Dave Haywood is well-known to many North Cowichan voters.
He's fighting his seventh election campaign because, as he puts it himself, "I've still got some gas in the tank."
His campaign is straightforward. "I'm distraught over what I've watched occur going back over the last 12 years. There's only one issue in this election: skyrocketing tax increases that have been inflicted on residential property," he said.
Haywood wants to put his previous experience to use in helping solve that problem.
"We have to stop the excessive spending on a lot of things in North Cowichan. I know there is room for economies. From the 10 years I myself spent on council, I know we can do better in slowing down and cutting back on certain expenses.
"All of it's money being well spent, but it's too much, too fast," he said.
"People I've been talking to on the doorsteps have been in tears, telling me, 'I never knew that residential taxes could go so high so fast.' I know exactly what they are talking about," he said.
Haywood is advocating that there be no residential tax increase for the next four years.
"Can that happen? Yes it can," Haywood said.
"This is possible and can be done, maintaining all reasonable municipal services, without employee layoffs of any staff.
"Any employee downsizing would only occur from retirements and other terminations, and there would be less contractor work, with a more frugal approach to future wage and salary increases, not now covered under a negotiated collective agreement," he said. Of course, Haywood said, the ideal situation would be to have no tax class looking at increases.
"But, the increase in the other classes have been nowhere near what the residential has been."

What to know about doxycycline
Medically reviewed by Zara Risoldi Cochrane, Pharm.D., M.S., FASCP — Written by Jessica Caporuscio, Pharm.D. on August 16, 2019
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that can treat various bacterial infections. People can use oral or injectable forms.
Sometimes, doctors use doxycycline to treat lung, nose, and throat infections. People can also use doxycycline to treat acne and rosacea.
Doxycycline may not be appropriate for everyone. It may interact with some other drugs and can cause side effects. Doctors will use caution when prescribing doxycycline to children and pregnant women.
In this article, we look at the many uses of doxycycline. We also discuss the side effects and warnings for people taking doxycycline.
A doctor may prescribe doxycycline to treat many bacterial infections, including lung infections and STIs.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic in the tetracycline class. Doctors prescribe doxycycline for various bacterial infections such as:
lung infections
sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
nose and throat infections
urinary tract infections (UTIs)
People can also take doxycycline in the following situations:
Doxycycline can treat rare infections, such as anthrax, cholera, and typhus fever.
People traveling to areas with a high risk of malaria may take doxycycline as a preventative measure.
Some people take doxycycline to treat severe acne. Although acne is not an infection, the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes can trigger the condition.
People with rosacea can use doxycycline without an antibiotic cream.
Many bacteria have developed a resistance to doxycycline. When doctors want to prescribe doxycycline, they can test the bacteria to make sure it will respond to the treatment.
If the benefits outweigh the risks, doctors can prescribe doxycycline to children 8 years old or younger who have severe or life threatening infections.
The brand name of doxycycline delayed release tablets is Doryx and Doryx MPC.
Vibramycin is another brand name of doxycycline that is available in the following formulations:
powder for suspension
Oracea is the brand name of the doxycycline product doctors use to treat rosacea lesions in adults.
How to take doxycycline
Doxycycline is available in seven different formulations. The following table lists the various forms and their strengths in milligrams (mg), or milligrams per 5 milliliters (mg per 5 ml).
Doxycycline product Form Strength
Vibramycin capsule 100 mg
syrup 50 mg per 5 ml teaspoon
suspension 25 mg per 5 ml teaspoon
Doryx Delayed release tablets 50 mg and 200 mg
Delayed release capsules 75 mg and 100 mg
Doryx MPC Delayed release tablet 120 mg
Oracea capsule 40 mg
Acticlate tablet 75 mg and 150 mg
Doxycycline for injection powder for solution 100 mg per vial
Doxycycline generic capsules 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg
tablet 20 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg
Delayed release tablet 50 mg, 75 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg
Doryx MPC is a delayed release tablet with a special coating called a modified polymer enteric coat (MPC). This coating is resistant to acid and delays the release of doxycycline by 15–20 minutes.
Doctors will recommend taking doxycycline with a full glass of water to prevent it from irritating the esophagus, which is the tube that connects the stomach and the mouth.
If someone has irritation in their esophagus, they can take doxycycline with food or milk. People who take doxycycline with food or milk may absorb less doxycycline, but this should not significantly impact the results.
Doxycycline has many uses and, depending on the indication, the doctor will prescribe a different dose.
A doctor can advise on the correct dosage of doxycycline to give a child.
If a child, weighing less than 45 kilograms (kg), has a severe or life threatening infection, the doctor will prescribe 2.2 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) of the child's body weight every 12 hours. Children weighing more than 45 kg can receive an adult dose.
Children 8 years and older with less severe infections and weighing less than 45 kg will receive 4.4 mg/kg in two doses on the first day. For the following days, the doctor will prescribe 2.2 mg/kg as a single dose or divided into two doses.
If the child weighs more than 45 kg and has a less serious infection, the doctor can prescribe the adult dosage.
When treating less serious infections in adults, doctors will prescribe 100 mg of doxycycline twice a day on the first day, followed by 100 mg once a day. If the infection is severe or life threatening, the doctor will prescribe 100 mg twice a day.
Doxycycline may not be appropriate for everyone. Anyone who has previously had a serious reaction to doxycycline or any other tetracycline should avoid doxycycline.
During tooth development, which occurs in the second half of pregnancy, in infancy, and childhood up to 8 years old, doxycycline may cause permanent tooth discoloration. Teeth may become a yellow-gray-brown color.
Doctors must evaluate the risks and benefits of prescribing doxycycline to young children or women during pregnancy.
Some people may develop Clostridium difficile diarrhea when taking doxycycline. This intestinal infection can range from mild to fatal.
The following table lists the possible side effects of doxycycline by body system.
Body system Side effect
Stomach and intestines loss of appetite
inflammation and soreness of the tongue
inflammation of the digestive tract
inflammation of the pancreas
inflammatory lesions on the anus and genitals
Skin sun sensitivity
severe rashes
Kidneys kidney toxicity
Immune system allergic reaction
fluid buildup
anaphylactic shock
pericarditis, or inflammation of the lining of the heart
Blood anemia
low count of white blood cells or platelets
disruption in immune cell counts
Other high blood pressure in the skull
Tetracyclines, the drug class that includes doxycycline, may cause bleeding.
People who are taking drugs that prevent blood from clotting, known as anticoagulants, may need to take a smaller dose of their anticoagulant.
Doctors will not prescribe a penicillin antibiotic with doxycycline. Penicillins are antibiotics that kill bacteria, whereas doxycycline stops the growth of bacteria. When given together, doxycycline may block the action of penicillin.
Some over-the-counter antacids can affect how well the body absorbs doxycycline, including those that contain:
bismuth subsalicylate (contained in Pepto Bismol)
Doctors may advise people taking birth control pills to use a second method of contraception while taking doxycycline. This is because the antibiotic can reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
Other drugs that may interact with doxycycline include:
Doctors should take a full medication history before prescribing doxycycline.
Research has shown that doxycycline is unlikely to cause birth defects.
Researchers suggest that therapeutic, short term treatments with doxycycline during pregnancy are unlikely to cause birth abnormalities, according to the currently available data.
During the last half of pregnancy, doctors will prescribe doxycycline carefully, especially if the person needs long term use or repeated short term courses. Some children, as they grow, may develop yellow-gray-brown teeth discoloration if exposed to doxycycline.
Doxycycline can find its way into breast milk, so breastfeeding while taking the drug can expose an infant to the antibiotic. Researchers are unsure how much doxycycline will pass to the infant through breast milk.
Doctors may prescribe short courses of doxycycline to a nursing parent. The benefits to the parent must outweigh the possible risks to the infant. Researchers are unsure of the effect on infants of extended periods of exposure to doxycycline in breast milk.
Doctors prescribe doxycycline to treat serious bacterial infections. People also use doxycycline to control acne and rosacea.
Before taking doxycycline, people should let their doctors know of any other medications they are taking. Doxycycline may not be appropriate for everyone, especially during pregnancy. The doctor must weigh the benefits of treatment with the possible risks.
Children 8 years old and younger can take doxycycline, but they are at risk of permanent discoloration of the teeth. Doctors will decide if the drug is safe or if an alternative treatment is more appropriate.

The bogey of gender discrimination
ABDUL MAJID ZARGAR
Two important issues have been raised in the interlocutory petitions filed along the main one by RSS-backed NGO 'We the Citizens' challenging Article 35A on procedural grounds. In the one, local women marrying outside the state have sought permanency to their property rights and also the devolution of such rights on their children. In the other, West Pakistan refugees (WPRs) have sought an end to the alleged discrimination due to non-availability of State subject rights. Both these petitions have since been tagged with the main petition. These two issues have also been subject to most vile & malicious propaganda in India to inflame public opinion against Article 35A.Most reprehensible is the tacit admission of 'Gender discrimination' by Additional Solicitor General of India, appearing on behalf of J&K State Govt. in SC. The issues, therefore merit a detailed analysis & an informed debate.
As regards property rights of local women tying nuptial knots with non-state subject persons, our State Subject laws are, unfortunately silent on their post-marriage status. It may be recalled that the executive instructions required that state subject certificates (SSC) of all women in our State, carried an additional line "Valid till marriage" across the certificate. This implied that post marriage, their status had to be re-determined and SSC cancelled/denied, If found to have married a non-state subject. Though this practice of insertion of additional line may not have been expressly mandated by State subject laws but nevertheless was in tune with the intent & purpose of Such laws.
The first assault on such practice came from a top bureaucrat of the State- S.A.S Qadri whose daughter married a non local state subject- Mehmood-ul Rehman himself a top bureaucrat. He was able to obtain a favorable order from the then Revenue Minster declaring this inserted line "null & void" on the ground that the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir or any other law does not provide for deprivation of a permanent resident of the state of her status after marriage.
But while the practice of inserting this line continued, the matter went finally to High Court. In October 2002, the full bench of the High Court in a case titled State of Jammu and Kashmir vs Dr Sushila Sawhney, held that the daughter of a permanent resident of the State will not lose her permanent resident status upon marriage with a non-local person. The state Government went for appeal against this order in the Supreme Court. In 2004, the ruling PDP-Cong Government withdrew the appeal on the assurance that the Judgment will be neutralized through a law to be passed by the state Legislative Assembly. But this was only a hogwash as attempts to pass the necessary law were frustrated twice by the combined efforts of ruling and opposition parties alike in the State legislature at the behest of New-Delhi. While those episodes merit a separate discussion at some other time , suffice it to say here that in absence of any challenge, the judgment of the High Court has become a law on the subject -which means that a female permanent resident of the state tying nuptial bonds with a non state subject doesn't lose her rights over immovable property or other state subject rights. As far as devolution of such rights on the children born out of such wedlock are concerned, the State Government has constituted an expert committee under the chairmanship of Commissioner Secretary, Revenue Department to advise it for forming a policy on the issue. In view of this position, the emotive cries of 'gender discrimination' to inflame Indian public opinion doesn't hold any ground.
Let us now discuss the issue of West Pakistani refugees. Following partition of 1947 and mass migration of people from India to Pakistan & Vice versa, WPRs entered into our State from Pakistani Punjab areas like Dalowali, Nandpur, Rangpur Jattan, Salehpur etc. etc, and settled in Jammu . Once in Jammu, they mixed with RSS cadres & took an active & aggressive part in massacre of Jammu Muslims in 1947 and many occupied the properties of fleeing Muslims. Gandhi Ji referred to them as accomplice of Killers. According to a passing comment in Supreme Court order in Bachan Lal Kalgotra case(infra),their number is 7to 8% of the whole population of J&K, which takes them to around ten lac persons.
In November 2016, Mohan Bagwat, current chief of RSS stated in Jammu that Sheik Abdullah 'permitted' them to stay in Jammu. Nothing can be farther from truth than this diabolic statement. When these refugees entered Jammu, Abdullah had no say in such matters. These were handled by State administration headed by Mahajan & Batra. The fact is that even after Abdullah assumed the reins of State in 1948, he never promised them a permission for a perpetual stay or citizenship rights in the State. Had it been so, he would have granted them such rights during his tenure between 1948-53, when he was Prime Minster of J&K vested with unbridled powers. In fact his administration made an attempt in 1951 -52 to identify them for deportation to other parts of India but Nehru requested his friend Abdullah to postpone the issue to some other day for fear of incurring wrath of communal elements in Delhi. It is another matter that 'other day' never arrived. After he re-assumed power in 1975, lot of pressure was exerted on him by New-Delhi to grant them the citizenship rights but he resisted all moves in this regard. In-fact, in an interview published in almost all national dailies of 31st March 1981, he categorically refused to oblige New-Delhi on this issue which created an uproar in Indian Parliament. Speaking on the subject through a calling attention motion in Parliament, Karan Singh denounced Abdullah for his rigid attitude.
In 1982, the President of WPR association, Bachan Lal Kalgota filed a petition in Supreme Court of India, challenging their alleged discrimination due to non-availibilty of state subject rights. In 1987, the apex court dismissed the petition & held that in view of section 6 of J&K constitution read with article 35A of Indian constitution, the apex court is unable to provide any relief to them and it is for the State Govt. to consider their case & see what possible relief could be given to them. (1987 AIR 1169).
It is therefore, clear that the issues raised by these petitioners have already been decided by appropriate Courts. It, therefore, doesn't serve the cause of justice to agitate them again & again in gross violation of principle of 'res-judicata'. The Apex Court should summarily dismiss these petitions and order costs on petitioners for wasting its precious time by repeatedly raising a false discrimination bogey .
