Darielle Mason, Stella Kramrisch Curator of Indian and Himalayan Art and Head of the Department of South Asian Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Darielle Mason is the Stella Kramrisch Curator of Indian and Himalayan Art and Head of the Department of South Asian Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which received a Project grant in 2014 to reinstall and reinterpret its eight galleries. She holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is adjunct professor, and a BA from Williams College. Previously, she was a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Mason and Dan Spock contributed a conversation to our Questions of Practice library in which they discussed issues of museum accessibility, experiential design, and the influence of digital culture on visitor engagement.
Mason's curating and writing investigates the impact of context and perspective on works of art. She has curated over fifty exhibitions, including Gods, Guardians, and Lovers: Temple Sculpture from Northern India, A.D. 700-1200, which helped visitors imagine museum fragments in their original ritual-architectural settings; Intimate Worlds: Indian Paintings from the Alvin O. Bellak Collection, which examined the layered history of collecting; and Kantha: The Embroidered Quilts of Bengal, which explored women's textiles from multiple angles and for which she was awarded the College Art Association's Alfred H. Barr Jr. Award. In 2016, Mason was lead curator for the transformation of Philadelphia's Galleries of South Asian Art, designing spaces that use flexible themes to create dialogues across historical, regional, material, and socio-economic boundaries. She is also a member of the curatorial team reinventing the Seattle Asian Art Museum on a similar thematic model.

The Library, with its rare books and purpose designed furniture.
Four years on, and it is approaching the end of a comprehensive restoration process that has involved painstaking research, through archives and archaeology of the salvaged remains. This is a restoration project that seeks not only to take the building back in spirit and overall appearance to the original 1909 Charles Rennie Mackintosh design intent… but also to take advantage of the opportunity of the forced closure of the building, the exposure of its inner structure, and the advances in technology, to bring the building back fit for another century of hard student focused use.
On Thursday, 15th February, 2018, Liz Davidson will deliver her lecture on , where she will explore the decisions and choices made along the journey of the restoration project, as well as the challenges and opportunities that it presented. As with all lectures in our annual programme, members and non-members of Glasgow Archaeological Society are welcome to attend, free of charge. The lecture starts at 7:30pm in the Boyd Orr Building, University Avenue, Glasgow University.
Liz Davidson is the Senior Project Manager at the Glasgow School of Art, charged with co-ordinating the restoration of the fire-damaged Mackintosh building.
Since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art as a post graduate in Architectural Conservation, Liz has been involved in most aspects of Scotland's built heritage. She was Head of Conservation and Design at Glasgow City Council with an active statutory role in maintaining the highest standards of historic building repair and maintenance in conjunction with encouraging the best and most inspirational designs in contemporary incursions and new development.
Previous to this as Project Director of the Merchant City Initiative she led the Heritage Lottery funded Townscape Heritage programme to regenerate the Merchant City through an extensive arts led programme of building repair, repaving and lighting of main streets, proactive cultural and creative business strategy, public art commissions, street markets, and the now annual Merchant City festival. She also, as Director of Glasgow Building Preservation Trust oversaw the introduction of the UK's first Doors Open Day, now a mass participation architectural event.

#MUNICIPAL #GUIDANCE: Lynn
After meeting with Mayor Thomas M. McGee and City Council President Darren Cyr last week, the church's pastor Ervin Ochoa, who opposes the legalization and sale of recreational marijuana, said the Christian church plans to appeal the City Council's vote.
The church has until Monday, 20 days after that decision was signed and filed in the City Clerk's office, to file an appeal.
"We're going to have 43 kids across the street at the church," said Ochoa. "That's not safe. If they do the same with school safety, (why not) respect the church?"
Ochoa said school-aged kids are at the Breed Street church, which he estimated is about 100 feet from the planned store, about four times a week. He is seeking to have the future business relocated, citing the city's zoning ordinance, which prohibits marijuana shops from being located less than 100 feet from schools.
He said the city's interest in the shop appears to be in seeking revenue, rather than public safety, as he believes the store's sale of "drugs" would bring in more crime.
"If you don't have appropriate places to put pot shops, maybe eight is too many," said Ochoa. "Marijuana is something that's destroying a lot of people's lives. We already have a drug problem in Lynn. Making it legal is not going to help."
Although Ochoa said having eight pot shops in Lynn is "ridiculous," the city is required by state law to have at least that amount, which is based on its approximately 40 package stores.
City Solicitor George Markopoulos said Monday afternoon that no appeal has been filed, but if the church decides to move forward with a lawsuit, he said their "odds of succeeding would be very minimal."

When you think of working with Millennials, does the term "narcissistic" come to mind? Are you tempted to write off this generation as being unprofessional?
While still a young and almost innocent generation, Millennials are our future and understanding how they work is beneficial to your company.
Millennials care about having a work-life balance. If there is a feeling of imbalance between the two, they will become dissatisfied with work.
If you manage employees of this generation, keep this in mind and find ways to encourage workplace balance with their home life. For instance, hold company events that allow your employees to bring along a guest.
If you happen to work under a Millennial, take time to ask them about their home life. Even if you don't understand their life choices, try to be supportive.
This generation is much like the Baby Boomer generation…money speaks volumes. They will switch positions and companies in search of higher wages.
Encourage them to seek out raises or promotions within your company.
If you have a Millennial as a manager, keep in mind their desire to make more money. It may be reflected in how they view your performance. Try not to take this personally.
This is a social generation – just observe all the social media sites your Millennial co-worker participates in. Sometimes their ramblings can appear to be flighty and unmotivated, but in reality, some individuals are very motivated and have a favorable view of their future.
Help them harness that positivity to make their world, in this case, their workplace, a better place.
This group never sits still. They can take care of any technological task or job you give them and make plans with their friends at the same time. Multi-tasking comes naturally to them.
As a manager, remember to keep them engaged and focused on those tasks that help them get the job done. They need to feel challenged, or, out of boredom, they will move onto another company.
The Millennial generation does not assume praise.
If you are looking for loyalty, be sure to make an effort to acknowledge their work and their successes.
If you need to address an issue, get right to the point about the issue. Communicate quickly via instant messaging or emails.
A Millennial's view of the future is full of optimism including the idea that no problem is unsolvable. They are great working in groups and can bring about results for your business. As a team member of a Millennial, try to embrace their energy. They are quick to share their ideas and opinions.

Rail service provides a much needed, heavily utilized mode of transportation for a number of shippers in Kentucky. According to the Association of American Railroads, more than 59 million tons of freight rail originates in Kentucky, while another 36.7 million tons of freight is transported into the state via rail.
The average distance a ton of freight can be transported by rail on one gallon of fuel is 476 miles. According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, by weight most of Kentucky's freight rail industry services the coal industry, but many other commodity types are transported along the state's extensive rail system, including automobiles and automotive parts, agriculture products, sand, recycled metals, oil, and natural gas.
More than 4,100 Kentuckians are employed in the freight rail industry. Each freight rail job supports 4.5 jobs elsewhere in the economy.

CONTEMPLATING TRUMP MARK TWO
So now we stop laughing. Now we stop mocking our American cousins for being daft enough to elect to the highest office in the land a man whom they knew to be a cheat, a serial liar, and a stranger to detail, research, and hard work. Because, unless some miracle happens, Britain is about to usher Trump's mini me into number 10 Downing Street.
Admittedly Boris Johnson's base is not, as with Trump's, a segment of the electorate at large; not the result of swing states swinging away from liberal values, or rust belt counties persuaded that tomorrow's world can be rebuilt from yesterday's industries. Instead, thanks to a constitutional quirk of fate - at least as indefensible as the USA's electoral college - the party of goverment gets to choose a Prime Minister because it is technically in power. I say technically because to all intents and purposes the Conservative Government has long ceased to govern, preferring instead a lengthy contemplation of its own political navel.
People have pointed to a similar "coronation" when Gordon Brown replaced Tony Blair without even the recourse to a ballot of its own members. And indeed that too was an insult to the democratic process. Amongst those who said, correctly, that there should have been a general election to confer legitimacy on the new premier, was one, Boris Johnson. Had Gordon Brown gone to the country during his honeymoon period, history might have taken a very different turn.
Nevertheless there are disturbing contemporary parallels between what has been an American tragedy, and what may well turn out to exacerbate the crisis now engulfing the UK. One is the character of the two men - though character is perhaps not the mot juste. Both men are serial adulterers, both have been caught out telling monumental porkies and then denying it, both are convinced they are born to lead whilst neither has the intellectual equipment, application or rigour for high office. Many Tory grandees and commentators have gone on record as saying they wouldn't trust Boris as far as he could be thrown - no great distance even in his new slimmed down, election ready persona.
If Patten, Clarke, Hastings and Parris think you are a 24 carat shit, and those with whom you have "worked" most closely describe you as a dilletante who does no homework, denies all failures and attributes the success and initiatives of others to himself, then it is fair to assume that Johnson's qualifications for premiership are on the anorexic side of slim.
Yet, just as the Republican Party fail to call out the most egregious behaviour of the 45th President of the United States, just as they pander to his ego, swallow his blustering lies, and stand by as he trashes the reputation of the country he represents, so too does the Tory Party bring themselves to suggest it's acceptable to connive in shoving along the Boris bandwagon.
Their motives are not pure. Some on the far right think his election is the gateway to the Bexit carnage and catasrophe they have brought closer with their fantasy predictions and self important idiocy. The fact that the airwaves can be regularly polluted by 4th rate nonentities like Rees Mogg and Francois tells you all you need to know about the current parlous state of Conservative politics.
Some are pushing the bandwagon along out of naked self interest; unwilling or unable to vote against the man who may be handing out jobs on the government payroll. And many, to their eternal shame, are interested only in calculating who can help the Tories win an election and or, curb the threat of Nigel Farage, the one trick pony with a side line in re-invention.
Tonight six men who now only harbour hopes of getting on to the second place on the ticket which will go before 150,00 mainly elderly, almost entirely white, pretty right wing Tory party members, will put their case to Channel 4 viewers mediated by the excellent Krishnan Guru Murty. Johnson has declined the invitation, not least one suspects because there will also be an audience who just might ask interesting questions. He has been allowed out by his minders for only one broadcast interview thus far, in which he waved away problems with dealing with the EU or fixing the Irish backstop with airy assurances that solutions could be found. Maybe they will be. But not by this chancer.
Instead we will have to wait till Tuesday till he deigns to stand at a lectern, doubtless deploying his usual trick of blustering on long enough to prevent much in the way of useful interruption. He is a very bad joke, is Mr Johnson. But if he becomes Prime Minister of the UK then we really don't have a finger hold on the moral high ground when pointing to the charlatan over the water.

HOLLYWOOD INSIDER
Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams and Pierce Brosnan talk about 'Eurovision,' filming in Iceland, and more
By JANET SUSAN R. NEPALES
Published July 1, 2020 1:00pm
Los Angeles — Eurovision Song Contest is a popular international song competition featuring singers from primarily European countries and held every year by the European Broadcasting Union. It is, to say the least, colorful and eccentric.
And so when Will Ferrell chanced upon it, he thought of making a feature presentation. And so "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" was born.
Now streaming on Netflix, "Eurovision" stars Will as Lars Erickssong and Rachel McAdams as Sigrit Ericksdottir of aspiring Icelandic duo "Fire Saga." Pierce Brosnan joins them as Erick Erickssong, the disapproving widowed father of Lars.
In the movie, "Fire Saga" finds itself representing Island in Eurovision. With elves, a terrible hamster wheel incident, and a hot and hairless Russian on the agenda, the movie is perhaps the comedic break we all could use as we traverse the pandemic.
We interviewed Will, Rachel and Pierce virtually and they share with us how it was filming in Iceland, how much fun they had, and coping with COVID-19.
Below are excerpts of our conversations with them:

You have encountered Eurovision for the first time 20 years ago. What have been the highlights for you since then?
The reaction to "Volcano Man" was fantastic when we released that. In fact that was always part of the marketing plan, to just release this video on YouTube, and just play it straight: that there was this new band from Iceland called Fire Saga, have a little fun with it and to have people connect the dots, that 'oh no, that is Rachel McAdams and Will Ferrell.' What is this leading to?
It was nice to get such a fun reaction, especially from people who wrote and posted look, 'I know this song is supposed to be funny but I actually like it. I am actually playing it again and again and again.' Which was one of the goals of the movie, to make the music comedic, but also something that is a song that you actually want to listen to over and over again.
In terms of watching, having some of my favorites, I think the first year I saw it was the year where they had the act from Russia, the singing grandmothers, the babushkas, all singing. And I just remember being like, what is going on here?
Some of these songs are very straight and very much like pop songs that you'll hear on the radio, others are these incredible performances and we of course, we were in Copenhagen to witness Conchita Wurst winning that year. She had an amazing performance along with her presence.
And of course we saw Netta perform in Portugal. The hamster wheel that we have in the movie was lifted directly from one of the acts that we watched while we were in Lisbon, Portugal, as well. So every year there's always something that's very memorable and that is kind of what makes Eurovision so special and unique.
Talk about having Pierce Brosnan as your father.
Yes, I mean it's pretty nice to have James Bond as your father. And it's also so great when you are writing the script and you literally write the actor in that you want to play the part, and they actually want to do it.
So we were having fun with writing Lars' father as the most handsome man in all of Iceland. And we thought like Pierce Brosnan, for instance. And to his credit, he thought it was funny and weird and different enough to want to do it. And he's as you guys know, just the ultimate gentleman, the perfect dinner party guest. He can kind of talk about any subject. And no matter how silly you try to make him look he still looks cool.
I mean we were shooting that scene on the fishing boat where he gives me this triumphant speech about being a Viking and pursuing your dream and we were filming that day in five foot swells and the entire crew was getting sick. And in between takes and then there's Pierce with his aviator sunglasses taking selfies, just having the best time. He truly is James Bond, he does not ruffle, ever.
But my dad was not in the least bit jealous, he was just like ah, please can I meet him someday? So I have to make that happen, I have to make that happen.

What was your experience in Iceland?
It was great. Shooting on those lava fields was something I will never forget, that was where we shot the "Volcano Man" sequence and that was our last day of filming.
And it was really — even though it was freezing cold, what an amazing kind of environment to kind of get to shoot in and here we were, ostensibly shooting a really silly music video in the middle of nowhere.
It was just one of the cooler days of filmmaking I had ever done. But the people couldn't be better, so it's really a very film friendly place.
How are you handling life during this lockdown? What have you learned?
Well, I guess it's been ok. I lived sort of in a rural area so I've been able to get outside every day and roam around a little bit and enjoy the natural world. So that has kind of helped my mental health, I think. I've been lucky that way to have a bit of space.
What have I learned? I guess, I've just learned how truly connected we all are and what a responsibility we have to each other to keep each other safe and healthy. And the great irony is that we have to stay away from each other to do that so that's unfortunate, but I think this will make us appreciated the time we do have together so much more when we are able to really come back together as a community.
It's really so overwhelming, isn't it? There's so many things every day that come up that are so new and unexpected. Anyway, that's kind of the basics for me right now.
What are the daily things that you do these days during self-isolation which are sometimes just too much to do?
I thought I would get a lot more done at this time. I've heard that from a lot of people, they're surprised at how little they're actually doing. But I've managed to be able to do some yoga. And fortunately I live kind of out in the woods to I've been able to do some walking and roaming and getting outside with nature and that's definitely helped my mental health. There's not a lot of hair and makeup happening so I'm really excited to be dressed up today. I've got on even shoes, high heels, no one can see it but I'm enjoying it.
Talk about working and filming in Iceland. I know some of the actors were also from Iceland?
Yes, I love Iceland. I had been there once before but really only traveled around Reykjavik, so this was just even more extraordinary because David insisted that we shoot in a town that Sigrit and Lars were actually from in the film, which was a teeny tiny fishing town, just as it's portrayed in the movie, in the north of Iceland.
And it was really just such a magical place. Every morning I'd wake up and walk down to the mountains and walk along the shore and all the boats are going out for the day and the whale watchers. I've been there twice now; I still haven't caught the Northern Lights, but maybe one day.
But the food was extraordinary, the people were so welcoming and I just thought the Icelandic actors in the film are fantastic. Every single one brought such a rich character to life with only so much screen time. And it was great, there's nothing like being able to be in the place where your character is from to grab the essence of what that person is and what their life has been like. So I absolutely loved it, I feel very lucky we got to go there and actually shoot there.
Can you talk about your relationship to singing?
l love singing. I've always wanted to be a singer. I grew up doing choir and singing more on a stage, doing a lot of theater when I was younger and in university.
And I'm a huge music fan, I always have music on in the house, it drives everyone crazy because the house is never quiet. And I'm often singing along, which also drives everyone insane. Yeah, what do I sing in the shower? I love Fleetwood Mac, I love Canadian artist Sarah Harmer and Hannah Georges and I'm a big Neal Young fan — I'm trying to think of my go to songs. Oh "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper would be my karaoke song.
Where are you self-isolating?
Greetings from the North Shore of Kauai. This is where you find me sitting at the kitchen table and it's a little bit rainy and grey out there but, you know, you stick around and the sunshine will be back.
I am here with my wife Keely and our two sons Dylan and Paris, our Golden Globe Ambassadors, thank you so much. That's so very memorable and wonderful memory in all our lives. Thank you. We had a great night with you.
So how is it isolating in Hawaii? I also read that you had two close friends who passed because of COVID-19. Can you please talk about that?
Well, no-one is very far away from this virus. The earth is very tiny, as we know, and there are many of us so there is nowhere really to run away to. Paradise is somewhat of an illusion but having said that, it is very beautiful to be here. I came here in March, end of March. I was in London on a film "Cinderella" with Camilla Cabello on March 13th, Friday the 13th and they came home here to Kauai and I've been here ever since and it's very beautiful.
We have a little house that's right here on the water's edge and so far so good. There's been a few cases of COVID-19 here on the island. They are opening the islands up now so that it's very concerning because it is such a small island and I lost two dear friends to COVID-19, Jay Benedict who is my brother in life. He and I were in the theatre together. I'm godfather to his sons and a wonderful man Andrew Jack who was a great dialect coach. We worked together on the James Bond movies and many other movies so, yes, the tentacle of the virus has touched all our lives and it comes with a thump of anxiety each day.
People all around us – our age or older - are getting sick from corona virus. Did you reflect on that as well?
Oh, this comes with fear, there's no question about it. You'd be a fool if you said otherwise, I think. The planet hasn't seen the likes of this in any of our lifetimes so yes, you know, you do, you confront your own mortality and the possibilities of getting such a virus, such a disease and what would happen so yes and you can only sit in that moment for so long and then you have to pick yourself up and get on with life and enjoy it and it gives life a great sense of brilliant beauty and reality and, you know, you realize the simple things in life and your family, your friends, your mothers, your fathers, your brothers, your sisters it just brings you together in a very good way. No, it's definitely a spiritual journey of sorts.
When you were watching Eurovision as a young man, did you have fantasies of participating in it?
Good God no. I was deep in my world of acting and wanting to be Marlon Brando and wanting to be Robert De Niro and oh, I was, no, no, no, but that was very frivolous fare for me. I was 25, 26, the Eurovision Song Contest had no deeper meaning to me than just a rather delightful show on the telly.
Will Ferrell told us he only had you in mind to portray his dad. Talk about that, working with Will and being in the movie itself?
I'm a big fan of Will's work, always have been and it's been a glorious career to behold and to watch him to go from strength to strength, creating these characters. So my agent sent me the script and Will Ferrell, brilliant Eurovision. I knew about the Eurovision Song Contest being a European. Playing his dad — really? Really it's come to that I'm playing Will Ferrell's father. Anyway, I got the joke. You get the joke on Page 1 where it rolls up and it's Mamma Mia, Waterloo and the locations were fantastic.
Opportunity to go back home to London, Scotland, Iceland, travel with my darling girl Keely and make a movie so it was like a busman's holiday, as they say.
Your character delivered a great speech about following one's dreams. What kind of speeches do you have with your own sons?
I used to talk to them when I drove them to school. When they were little, I would talk like that — not quite like Lars, but talking about the passion of life and living life and being with people and, you know, dealing with yourselves, living through life.
I don't know that any of it sunk in but I would drop them off at school with my kind of Irish philosophies, which are essential in life passing on and you want to give them everything. You want to give them as much knowledge as you possibly can as a father and that still carries on in quieter ways. They now give me the knowledge. They now teach me so it's a two-way street but they do come to me for counsel.
What are they teaching you actually?
Oh, it's just how to see the world and their own curiosity about how this world is working right nowm which is traumatic but I think it can also be very uplifting. I think this is a time of renewal. You know, so much of acting is about constructing and destroying and what is happening now is a kind of construction and a destroying at the same time our lives and they just – well, what do they teach me? They teach me how old I'm getting.
Is there a routine that you do like praying, meditating, meditating or going to nature to keep yourself safe during these days?
I paint. I have a wonderful wife in Keely who gets me out there and we inspire each other. We live here in Kauai on the North Shore so there's a beautiful garden. It's a small little cottage right on the water's edge so we go out and swim in the mornings, swim in the evenings.
In this time of lockdown this is a real paradise to be part of and so we're blessed with having this refuge and I have a studio here and I'm working on having an art show sometime. It was going to be at the end of the year in November but I think it's going to be probably next year now so and I read. I am reading more which is delightful. I have books by my bed that I read between Hemingway and Hamlet and books on Matisse. And a little bit of prayer. Always a little bit of prayer. — LA, GMA News

While experienced pilots will accuse models of burglary for substantial planes, however they can generally swing to add-on to cure this little deformity. Again, it is clear that the flight models have been programmed for people who want to start on this kind of devices. Rotorcraft and helicopters have always been somewhat difficult to fly in any flight simulator package, be it Microsoft Flight Simulator or the X-Plane series; flying has always been challenging. Pilot training program X is further combining its overwhelming position noticeable all around reproduction industry. Everything is in line with reality.
The main one is the number of available aircraft ie 18 aircraft + helicopters for the standard version and 24 for the deluxe version.

On July 9, 2014, Dovetail Games, the developer of RailWorks Train Simulator, announced that it signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft and would be developing and producing new flight software for the series. On small planes especially, it remains very correct although the performances are little too arcades. Failure in doing so can cause issues in running the program, after download and installation.

Thomas Upham House
The Thomas Upham House has settled into a special place in my heart. It's where my father spent his last 21 days of life in August of 2017.
Filled with both grief and gratefulness, I felt the only way to reach out and say thank you to the amazing staff in a meaningful and lasting way would be to create a garden for this wonderful place.
The Garden Continuum, with the help of many people (clients, friends, and family), collected over $2,500 in donations to build this garden.
We hope the garden uplifts the hearts of everyone who lives, works, and visits the Thomas Upham House. It is hard to be sick, in pain, and doing the hard work of healing or letting go. I learned that first hand.
Thank you to all of the amazing staff and to all of the wonderful people who reached out with donations to make this garden idea a reality!
Fisher House Boston
The joint efforts of garden design by Niels Bodecker & Monique Allen and the creation of the sculpture "Integro" by Staff Sgt William Kleineldler synergized and developed into the Healing Garden at Fisher House Boston.
"The Fisher House Healing Garden has been designed as an oasis of safety and hope. The design attempts to create a reflective space where people may sink into the Open Embrace of the earth and the energies of plants to find quiet support and peaceful rest," explains Monique Allen, owner of The Garden Continuum.  "The healing power of plants and gardens has been well documented, while continuing to be elusive to logical thinking. It isn't necessary to understand why, it is only necessary that the space is made available, so that the healing may be made possible. The Garden Continuum was thrilled to be honored with the request to design and build a healing garden for the Fisher House Boston."
Friends of the Dwight-Derby House
In the fall of 2006 the Friends of the Dwight-Derby House, Inc. reached out to The Garden Continuum, Inc. to help them put together a master plan for the landscape. The goals included…
Screening to mitigate views to surrounding commercial development
Removal of invasive plant species
New plantings to include native plant species
Design of areas suitable for outdoor functions such as weddings and receptions.
With input from the FDDH members a plan was developed and donated by The Garden Continuum which respects the historical nature of the site while at the same time allowing the town of Medfield to hold events that will ideally generate income to help with the ongoing restoration and preservation of the house and land.
The Massachusetts Association of Landscape Professionals (MLP) is teaming up with GreenCare for Troops — a nationwide outreach program that connects local landscape professionals with men and women serving our country in the armed forces away from home. The Garden Continuum, Inc. has signed up to support this program. To date, GreenCare has helped more than 2,400 volunteers provide free lawn and landscape services for nearly 10,000 military families nationwide.

COVID Pandemic Obstructed Global Fight Against AIDS
UNAIDS says pandemic has made it more difficult for those living with HIV

Tuesday is World AIDS Day, with organizations around the world highlighting the need to support those living with and affected by HIV, the virus that causes the disease, while also remembering those who have died.
This year's event comes amid the global coronavirus pandemic, which UNAIDS says has made it more difficult for those living with HIV to access health care and other services while also highlighting issues such as inequality and stigma.

The agency is calling on governments to boost investment and action on HIV and other pandemics. It says if there were better health and social safety nets in place, the world would have been better able to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The United Nations said models show there could be an additional 123,000 to 293,000 new HIV infections and between 69,000 and 148,000 AIDS-related deaths by 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic's effects on HIV responses.

"The collective failure to invest sufficiently in comprehensive, rights-based, people-centered HIV responses has come at a terrible price," UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima said in a statement. "Implementing just the most politically palatable programs will not turn the tide against COVID-19 or end AIDS. To get the global response back on track will require putting people first and tackling the inequalities on which epidemics thrive."

Gaurav N Pingle, Practising Company Secretary, Pune.

Experts CornerGaurav Pingle and Associates
Published on September 7, 2018 September 7, 2018 By Auroshree
An independent director is a non-executive director of a company who brings in objectivity and independence in the decision making by the Board of Directors of the company. As an independent director, he should not be related to the promoters of the company. He should not have any pecuniary interest in the company, its holding company, subsidiary company and associate company. The intention of having such kind of provisions is to ensure that such director remains completely independent and does not have any economic dependency on the company. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 149 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules made thereunder, an independent director shall possess appropriate skills, experience and knowledge in one or more fields of finance, law, management, sales, marketing, administration, research, corporate governance, technical operations or other disciplines related to the company's business. An independent director shall help in bringing an independent judgment to bear on the board's deliberations especially on issues of strategy, performance, risk management, resources, key appointments and standards of conduct. An independent director shall safeguard the interests of all stakeholders, particularly the minority shareholders.
This article is a compilation and analysis of the relevant provisions for appointment and reappointment of independent directors. The article concludes with the checklist on such appointment and reappointment of independent directors. For listed companies, in addition to the Companies Act, 2013, the company shall also comply with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015 as well.
(a) every listed public company shall have at least 1/3rd of the total number of directors as independent directors; (b) following class or classes of companies shall have at least 2 independent directors; (i) public companies having paid-up share capital of Rs 10 crores or more; or (ii) public companies having turnover of Rs 100 crores or more; or (iii) public companies which have, in aggregate, outstanding loans, debentures and deposits, exceeding Rs 50 crores. The paid-up share capital or turnover or outstanding loans, debentures and deposits, as the case may be, as existing on the last date of latest audited financial statements shall be taken into account.
Non-applicability
The provisions of independent director are not applicable to private company. Also, where a public company ceases to fulfil any of three conditions (as prescribed in the above point) for 3 consecutive years, it shall not be required to appoint independent directors until such time as it meets any of such conditions. The provisions of independent directors are not applicable to the following classes of unlisted public companies: (a) joint venture company; (b) wholly-owned subsidiary; and (c) dormant company (as defined under Section 455 of the Act).
Role and functions of independent director
The independent directors shall:
(i) scrutinise the performance of management in meeting agreed goals and objectives and monitor the reporting of performance;
(ii) satisfy themselves on the integrity of financial information and that financial controls and the systems of risk management are robust and defensible;
(iii) balance the conflicting interest of the stakeholders;
(iv) determine appropriate levels of remuneration of executive directors, key managerial personnel and senior management; and
(v) moderate and arbitrate in the interest of the company as a whole, in situations of conflict between management and shareholder's interest.
The independent directors have a prime role in appointing and where necessary recommend the removal of executive directors, key managerial personnel and senior management.
Criteria of independence
Sub-section (6) of Section 149 of the Companies Act, 2013, prescribed the criteria for independence w.r.t. relation with promoters, holding company, subsidiary company, associate company, transactions through relatives, shareholding in the company, appointment of firm of auditors or company secretaries in practice or cost auditors or any legal or a consulting firm, etc. The independent director shall ensure that the said criteria of independence are complied with during the tenure as independent director in the company.
Manner of appointment
While selecting independent directors, the Board shall ensure that there is appropriate balance of skills, experience and knowledge so as to enable the Board to discharge its functions and duties effectively.

Q: change php code visually My client has a form which is php generated. He wants to edit it himself like how html forms are done, rename, move text boxes, add text boxes.
But unfortunately the programmer has designed it such that in place of the forms it just says <php>. Client insists there must be some way to do this. Any ideas.
I am currently working with Dreamweaver.
Here is part of the code.

    echo "	";

Please, any suggestions?

A: You might use a database to store the values there, add sql statements to your current php file to get the values from the database. You can also implement an edit page which will allow the client to edit the values in the database.

Should Northern California Secede and Become the State of Jefferson?
Alex Manning | 6.9.2014 9:00 AM
Activists in Northern California, near the border with Oregon, are pushing to secede from the Golden State. They say they're fed up with taxes, regulation, and lack of representation. If they get their way, the country's 51st entrant would be called the State of Jefferson.
"The three major urban areas dictate politics for the entire state," says Mark Baird of the Jefferson Declaration Committee. "Our children are leaving, our economy is crashing, we are taxed, every breath we take is regulated, and we feel that a free state will cure that."
To date, five county governments have signed on the plan and more may be joining up.
"We can't afford to run a California style beauracracy, that is true," says Baird. "But as a small rural state, we don't want to. "
The idea of secession in California isn't new. During the Great Depression, folks started pushing a similar plan in the same part of the state but threw in the towel after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Both California's state legislature and the U.S. Congress would have to approve the plan to make Jefferson more than a pipe dream. That's not going to happen any time soon, but Northern California's separatist movement is worth exploring as a way of pushing back against a distant and unresponsive government.

An older woman and a young man were working in the kitchen of a small restaurant. Probably, they were a parent and child. Some pots and a wooden round chopping board were seen on the table. They just prepared for lunchtime.
The woman was stripping the skin of a vegetable with a peeler. It was interesting to watch people who worked quickly and efficiently. Their acts made me comfortable. So I stopped and watched them for a while. In the meantime, the woman faced me and pursed her mouth. She might wonder why I was attracted by their jobs.
