New Delhi, March 24 (IANS/NRI Pulse Staff) After returning to Mumbai from Atlanta in 2012, actor Jim Sarbh has created a niche for himself in Bollywood playing gray characters in films like "Neerja", "Raabta" and "Padmaavat". He is back with the Amazon Prime web series "Made In Heaven".
After graduating from the Emory University, Sarbh worked with the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta for a year as a literary intern. He performed around Atlanta in the 2009 productions of such plays as The Show!, The Breakup, Tennis in Nablus, and Ice Glen; the last of the roles won him a Major Supporting Role Metropolitan Atlanta Theatre Award.
"There are plenty of projects in my hand right now. I am looking forward to play characters that I have not played so far. It is important for an actor to play different roles," Jim told IANS in recorded responses.
The 31-year-old is currently enjoying praise for portraying Adil Khanna in web series "Made in Heaven", which he says explores reality of society.
"The show is like a great juxtaposition of all those that go on behind beautiful facades. It removes the curtains and make you see the reality of backstage. It shows what actually goes on in a wedding, not just looking perfect from outside. It reflects the integration of modernism and traditionalism," said Jim.
The actor is also on board for other web shows like "House Arrest and "Flip".
To a question whether a web series give more depth to an actor, he said: "It totally depends upon the writing. Be it films or shows or plays, it's the content that matters the most. Good writing is the key.
"Many people make blanket statements that theatre gives you more depth…web shows, films and plays are different. They can give you depth or not depends upon writing," he said.


The writing was on the wall when Chicago released him back in March. The picture became even clearer when the Bears foolishly signed veteran backup quarterback Mike Glennon to a three-year, $45M contract days later, then inexplicably traded up to nab Mitchell Trubisky with the second overall pick in last week's draft. Even though it had become abundantly clear Jay Cutler would never again duck under center as the Windy City's quarterback, there remained an outside hope Packers fans could see the sulking interception machine on the field (or at least on the sidelines) in another team's uniform this season. Sadly, that will not happen.
Today, FOX announced Cutler would be joining the network to provide on-field coverage in 2017. Though Cutler hasn't said the word "retirement" just yet, the transition basically signals the end of the polarizing playcaller's pro football career. The quiet May announcement also functions as an acknowledgement that Green Bay greatest modern villain—and perhaps most consistently detested foe ever—has been vanquished by time, injury, and his own diminishing skillset. Wisconsin sports is now without a unifying enemy upon which fans could pile their blind hatred, schadenfreude, and collective ill will.
The highly-touted Vanderbilt quarterback was selected 11th overall in 2006, and after one season (mostly) on the bench, he earned the starting job. In 2007, the 24-year-old showed promise in his first full season, including 3,500 passing yards, 20 touchdowns (to just 14 interceptions), and flashes of greatness. That season, he pushed the Brett Favre-led Packers to overtime before his elder ultimately willed Green Bay to victory. As his comfort in the pocket increased, so did his disdain in Denver. Prior to the 2009 season, the Broncos traded him—weeks removed from a Pro Bowl appearance—to Chicago, which had most of its core players remaining from its 2006 NFC Champion team. For the first time since Jim McMahon left in 1989, the Chicago Bears had a legitimately good quarterback.
Meanwhile, Green Bay was breaking in a young starter named Aaron Rodgers, who was coming off a 6-10 season (statistically impressive as it was). For the first time in 20 years, the Bears had what appeared to be a complete offense and a star-caliber quarterback, which was pretty terrifying for a Packers fan base still in-fighting about whether parting ways with Favre was the right move. In 2010, Chicago won the NFC North—splitting the season series with Green Bay in the process—and advanced to the conference's championship, where they faced a surging Wild Card Packers squad. Cutler proceeded to complete just six passes for 80 yards, throw an interception, and finish the game injured and pouting from the sidelines. Things were never the same.
That would be the final postseason game of Cutler's career. Any semblance of divisional balance shifting to Chicago was squashed. Really, Jay Cutler was the only reason the decidedly one-sided rivalry between two hated foes was remotely worthwhile since 2010. The semi-recent Pro Bowler and once-purported franchise savior who was a single game from the Super Bowl turned heel. He got engaged to reality star Kristen Cavallari in early 2011, who he since married (and allows to photograph him naked).
His mannerisms and apparent apathy spawned countless memes and the illustrious Smokin' Jay Cutler website. Packers fans had a field day with him, including assertions that his flurry of interceptions against Green Bay make him the fourth best quarterback in team history, and a cottage industry inspired by Cutler's apparent affinity for wine coolers.
In his eight seasons in Chicago, the crotchety QB was nothing short of the perfect villain. In an increasingly uptight league that frowns on personality and attitude, Cutler—to use the most famous quote allegedly attributed to him—"DON'T CAAAAAAAAAAARE!" about much of anything. In the midst of a predominately prosperous (and ongoing) epoch of Packers supremacy in the division, and with an otherwise-lopsided modern rivalry between two of the NFL's oldest teams, he knowingly accepted the role of infamous leader. He brazenly captained a team that would almost always wind up losing against the Green and Gold, often as a direct result of his performance.
It wasn't all bad for Cutler though. In spite of his 51-51 career record with Chicago, he's the franchise leader in career passing yards, completions, and passing touchdowns. He leaves the game he seemingly barely tolerated as rich and relatively healthy man. Even if Glennon comes close to earning his laughably huge contract or Trubisky proves everyone wrong and isn't a huge bust, Packers-Bears games just won't be the same without the guy wearing six serving up picks.
Farewell, Jay. Packers fans could not have asked for a better player to cheer against.


I am a husband, dad, and software developer. I really like to tinker.
Had mine came with the receiver, with battery terminals that were salvageable, and wasn't full of rust, it would be hooked up to my fully functional NES right now!
That's amazing if you still have a functioning one! I can definitely relate to the sadness caused by the destruction working retro gaming relics. I've seen some NES case and other mods that just seem blasphemous.
These are a few of my favorite things as well :). Thanks for the love!
Nice job on this. I was able to use the original back with the ports coming out of the bottom. I had to dremel the port holes as well as the middle screw post and some bracing. It's a tight fit for sure. 3d printed back would be nicer but hey it works! Thanks for putting this up!

Rashida Tlaib Derangement Syndrome, WND Edition
Rashida Tlaib is a Palestinian-American who ran unopposed and became one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress alongside Ilhan Omar, D-MN (a Somali-American elected in 2016). Democrats also elected Kyrsten Sinema, the first openly bi-sexual elected to the U.S. Senate. The newly elected Senator from Arizona refused to be sworn in on a Bible.
Rashida Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Kyrsten Sinema are a new breed of radical Democrats hell-bent on trying to destroy this president. Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez belong to the Democratic Socialists of America – an anti-American group that has no respect for the U.S. Constitution. These extremist Democrats are not interested in working with President Trump or Republicans to end the government shutdown and secure the southern border with Mexico. Their goal is to impeach this president and undermine the rule of law. They want bigger government, higher taxes, open borders, and they embrace radical Islamists and want to weaken the U.S. military. Their socialist agenda is evil, and it's antithetical to everything that makes America the greatest and freest nation on this side of Heaven. We cannot allow them to succeed!
Newly elected Democrats are more radical than their predecessors. Lowlife Democrats like Rashida Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez have no respect for the rule of law. They abhor the constitution and the Judeo-Christian values that shaped this great nation. If we continue electing socialists, Muslims and pro-open border politicians who refuse to enforce our laws and protect our sovereignty – we will lose more American lives and eventually lose our country.
-- Jesse Lee Peterson, Jan. 6 WorldNetDaily column
And so we have Rashida Tlaib, a 42-year-old Democrat, a lawyer, elected to Congress with 163 thousand votes from the 13th District in Michigan – one of the poorest sections of that state.
Most Americans outside of Michigan didn't follow the election, so we had no idea of what Ms. Tlaib was like – at least until last Thursday night, after the new members of Congress were sworn in.
At a gathering that evening, she was feeling her oats with the victory and told the crowd that she told her son about winning and what would happen: "We're going to go in there and we're going to impeach the motherfu***r!"
Whew! Them's fightin' words, no matter where you're from! But coming from a woman, a Muslim, just elected to Congress and just hours after her swearing-in, against a man who was elected president with 63 million votes – shows an ego and brashness she's been hiding under her hijab.
If you've wondered if politics has scraped the bottom of the barrel, this is the proof.
-- Barbara Simpson, Jan. 6 WND column
Rep. Tlaib is the first female Palestinian-American in Congress and a Muslim. She planned to take the oath of office using former President Thomas Jefferson's own Quran – changing her mind after she may have learned that his copy of Islam's holy book helped persuade Jefferson to launch all-out war against the Islamist Barbary pirates.
One of Rep. Tlaib's first acts as a national lawmaker reportedly was to modify a world map in her office to replace "Israel" with a state named "Palestine."
How did a leftist Muslim from the Detroit area win seats in the Michigan legislature and now in Congress? Michigan has roughly 300,000 Arab-Americans, the highest proportion of any state, and two-thirds of them live in the four counties of the Detroit area.
This ethnic population is a magnet for more Arab immigrants, and a money magnet for Democratic candidates such as John Kerry who come fundraising and in search of Arab-American votes. Kerry, for example, gave a targeted speech to this audience condemning Israel and its wall that has successfully thwarted terrorism.
Henry Ford recruited "as far abroad as Iraq and Syria to find enough workers to assemble his cars," Craig R. Smith and I wrote in our book "The Great Withdrawal," and "imported the ancestors of today's sizable Michigan Arab-American population."
Tlaib was elected in Michigan's 13th Congressional District, the third-poorest district in the United States. For 53 years it was represented by radical leftist Democrat John Conyers. Conyers' website included a button that instantly translated everything from English to Arabic to serve his large ethnic voter base; Tlaib's congressional website will almost certainly do likewise.

55. Where the electronic communications code has been applied to a person who does not provide an electronic communications network of the type designated under Clause 30, and that person ceases to provide the network, he must notify OFCOM. Failure to do so may result in the provider being penalised an amount not exceeding £1,000. Clause 113(8) provides that the Secretary of State may by order amend this section so as to substitute a different maximum penalty. An order under Clause 113(8) is subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
56. Clause 114(1) provides that OFCOM may, by order, put in place a transitional scheme in cases where the electronic communications code has ceased to apply to a provider by reason of the code being either suspended, or revoked or modified in relation to that provider. An order made under this Clause is subject to the procedure under Clause 396.
57. Clause 117(1) gives OFCOM the power to set conditions in relation to the regulation of the provision, content, promotion and marketing of premium rate services. These are limited to conditions that require providers of premium rate services to comply with directions given in accordance with the code for premium rate services approved by OFCOM under clause 118 or if there is no such code, to comply with the provisions of an order made under Clause 119.
58. If a code has been produced for the regulation of premium rate services (by another), then OFCOM may approve it under Clause 118(1). They can only approve the code if they are satisfied that there is a person who will enforce it, that person is independent, there are adequate funding mechanisms and the provisions of the code are objectively justifiable, non-discriminatory, transparent and proportionate.
59. Clause 119(1) permits OFCOM to make an order imposing requirements with respect to the content, provision, promotion and marketing of premium rate services (including pricing) and their enforcement, where OFCOM consider there is no third-party code to which it is appropriate to give, or to continue to give, their approval under Clause 118. OFCOM's powers to make an order includes those to establish a corporate body to adopt its own rules, to determine the jurisdiction of that body or, for the purposes of the order, any other person, to confer jurisdiction over any matter to OFCOM themselves, to provide for a person on whom jurisdiction is conferred by the arrangements to make awards of compensation and/or to direct the reimbursement of costs or expenses and to enforce any awards. OFCOM must obtain the consent of the Secretary of State before making an order under Clause 119 and the power to make an order under this section is subject to the procedure under Clause 396 and the negative resolution procedure.
60. OFCOM may enforce conditions set under Clause 117 in accordance with Clauses 91 to 93. In deciding on the amount of a financial penalty under Clause 93, OFCOM must consider whether the fine is appropriate and proportionate to the contravention for which it is imposed and take into account any representations made by the premium rate service provider concerned as well as any steps taken by him to comply with the notified condition and remedy any consequences of a contravention. The penalty may not exceed £100,000. Clause 120(4) allows the Secretary of State by order to amend the maximum penalty, provided she complies with the affirmative resolution procedure.
61. Clause 125 gives OFCOM powers of enforcement in respect of persistent misuse of an electronic communications network or an electronic communications service. Where OFCOM determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person has persistently misused an electronic communications network or an electronic communications service, OFCOM may notify that person accordingly, and allow him a specified period to make representations.
62. Clause 125(8) enables the Secretary of State, by order, to specify uses of an electronic communications network or an electronic communications service that shall not be treated as a misuse of a network or service where she considers that appropriate alternative means of dealing with those uses exist. An order under Clause 125(8) is subject to the negative resolution procedure.
63. Clause 127 allows OFCOM to impose a penalty if a person notified under Clause 125 has persistently misused an electronic communications network or an electronic communications service or if a person to whom an enforcement notification has been issued in accordance with Clause 126 has not complied with the notification. The penalty may not exceed £5,000. Clause 127(9) allows the Secretary of State to amend by order the maximum penalty. Such orders are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
64. Clause 129(1) gives the Secretary of State a power to direct OFCOM to issue a person with a direction to suspend or restrict that person's entitlement to provide a network, service and/or associated facility where it appears to her to be necessary to protect the public from any threat to public safety or public health, or in the interests of national security. This is permitted by Article 3 of the Authorisation Directive.
65. Subsection (2) places OFCOM under a duty to comply with any such direction by the Secretary of State. Once a suspension or restriction is in place, both the Secretary of State and OFCOM must allow the person in question an opportunity to make representations to them and to propose steps for remedying the situation. OFCOM may modify the terms of a suspension or restriction imposed under this Clause. Clause 129(9) permits the Secretary of State to direct OFCOM to revoke and/or modify a suspension or restriction imposed under this Clause. The Secretary of State is not required to comply with either the affirmative or negative resolution procedure when making a direction under this Clause.
66. Clause 131(3) amends any provision, in any lease, licence or other premises-related agreement granted or entered into after the commencement of this Clause, which prohibits or restricts an occupier's choice of electronic communications services providers to a person who has an interest in the relevant premises or a person selected by a person with an interest in the relevant premises. Clause 131(4) amends any provision, in a lease of one year or more granted or entered into after the commencement of this Clause or in a premises-related agreement to which such a lease applies, that imposes any other prohibition or restriction on the lessee relating to an electronic communications matter where such prohibition or restriction relates to anything done inside a building occupied by the lessee or for purposes in connection with the provision of an electronic communications service by a communications provider to the lessee.
67. Under Clause 131(6), OFCOM has the power by order to exclude certain provisions in leases, licences or other premise-related agreements falling within the remit of Clause 131. Under Clause 131(9), OFCOM may also by order apply the provisions of Clause 131 to leases, licences or other premise-related agreements entered into before the commencement of Clause 131. OFCOM must comply with the procedure set out in Clause 396 when making an order under either Clause 131(6) or Clause 1319).
68. Under Clause 131(8), the Secretary of State has the power by order to specify that a public electronic communications network is a relevant electronic communications network for the purposes of this Clause.
69. Clauses 132 and 133 give OFCOM information-gathering powers. Where it appears to OFCOM that a person is or has been in breach of any requirement under either clause 132 or 133, they may by Clause 135 notify that person accordingly, and allow him a specified period of time (usually one month) in which to make representations to OFCOM and to take steps to comply with the notified requirement. Where a notified provider has not complied with a notified requirement, or remedied the consequences of the notified contravention, OFCOM may impose a penalty. The maximum fine that may be imposed under this Clause is £50,000. Clause 136(9) provides that the Secretary of State may by order amend this section so as to substitute a different maximum penalty. Orders made under Clause 136(9) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
70. Clause 153(1) gives the Secretary of State a power, by order, to give general or specific directions to OFCOM about the carrying out of their spectrum functions. They may include a direction: (a) to reserve certain frequencies for different classes of use or user, for example broadcasting, mobile telecommunications, private business systems, air traffic control or radio astronomy, or within a class, for example for the provision of additional digital television or sound broadcasting multiplexes; or (b) to exercise their powers under the proviso to section 1(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 and sections 1 to 3A of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1998 in accordance with the provisions of the direction. This power is in addition to the power conferred on the Secretary of State by Clause 5 to give directions for limited purposes in accordance with which OFCOM must exercise their functions. Clause 154 subjects orders under clause 153 to the affirmative resolution procedure. Orders must be laid before each House and approved before they take effect. In cases of urgency, the order may be made straight away before being approved by each House. However, they must then be laid before Parliament and cease to have effect if not approved by both Houses within 40 Parliamentary days.
71. Clauses 156 to 159 introduce a new scheme of "recognised spectrum access". Recognised spectrum access ("RSA") will offer greater security and quality of access to spectrum to persons who, in circumstances to be specified by OFCOM in regulations, transmit radio signals for reception in the United Kingdom, but who are not currently required to hold a licence under the Wireless Telegraphy Acts. The scheme is likely to apply to operators of wireless telegraphy stations or apparatus (for example, satellites) that are located outside the UK, who cannot be licensed under the current legislation and so cannot formally be recognised in spectrum management decisions. RSA will not be compulsory. The intention is that RSA will result in greater assurance that a service will be taken into account in spectrum planning and will be free from interference within identified parameters. It is also expected to help ensure more effective management of the radio spectrum by facilitating spectrum trading and extending incentives to use spectrum more efficiently. Clause 156(1) provides that RSA will be available where a person is proposing to use or to continue to use a station or apparatus for wireless telegraphy in circumstances specified by regulations made by OFCOM. Clause 156(5) permits the grant of RSA to include such restrictions and conditions as OFCOM think fit. OFCOM must comply with the procedure set out in Clause 396 in making the regulations.
72. Clause 158 amends section 1 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1998 to allow OFCOM to set the fees to be paid on the making of a grant of RSA. Clause 158(3) also inserts a new section 3A into the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1998 Act that makes provision for OFCOM to determine applications for the grant of RSA by means of an auction as specified by regulations made under section 3A. The regulations may make provision for restrictions and conditions subject to which grants are to be made. These provisions are similar to those for spectrum licences under section 3 of the 1998 Act.
73. Clause 159(1) provides that OFCOM may by regulation make provision for the conversion of a wireless telegraphy licence into a grant of RSA, and vice versa. This will enhance flexibility in spectrum use, especially in frequency bands that are shared by licensed services and services that have RSA. OFCOM must comply with the procedure set out in Clause 396 when making regulations under Clause 159(1).
74. Clause 161(1) provides that, where OFCOM consider it appropriate to limit the number of wireless telegraphy licences or grants of RSA on certain frequencies or for certain uses for the purpose of ensuring efficient spectrum management, they must do so by order. The purpose of this duty is implement Article 7 of the Authorisation Directive and ensure transparency in spectrum management. The order must set out the criteria OFCOM will apply in limiting the number of grants and deciding to whom to issue licences or RSA. The criteria must be objective, non-discriminatory, proportionate and transparent. OFCOM must keep the criteria under review. Clause 161(7) provides that it shall be a duty of OFCOM to make an order revoking or amending any provision of an order made under Clause 161 if, on reviewing it, they consider it necessary to do so for the purpose of securing the efficient use of the electro-magnetic spectrum. When making any order under clauses 161(1) and 161(7), OFCOM must comply with the procedure set out in Clause 396.
75. Clause 163 amends the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 to require OFCOM, by regulation, to exempt certain stations or apparatus from the requirement to be licensed under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 where the use is unlikely to cause undue interference (as redefined in Clause 180). This implements Article 5(1) of the Authorisation Directive.
76. Clause 164 amends section 3 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1998 so that the regulations made and notices issued by the Secretary of State that set out the procedures and rules for the auction of radio spectrum licences are replaced by regulations for that purpose made by OFCOM (which by virtue of paragraph 150 of Schedule 17 are to be made in accordance with clause 396). The clause also amends the provision which can be made by those regulations, principally by allowing the prescription of alternative types of bids and of combinations of different types.
77. Clause 165(1) gives OFCOM the power to make regulations authorising the holder of a wireless telegraphy licence or the holder of a grant of RSA to transfer the rights and obligations under their licence or RSA grant to another person. This will enable the development of a secondary market in licences and RSA where this is permitted by OFCOM. It is envisaged that spectrum trading will be introduced progressively and will be tailored to the technical and market characteristics of the service in question. Subsection (3) sets out the range of provisions that may be included in regulations authorising spectrum trading. For example, under paragraphs (c) and (e) regulations may require the approval of OFCOM before a trade can be made, and may make trades subject to compliance with conditions imposed by OFCOM. Under paragraph (i), the regulations may require that trades be notified to OFCOM both in advance of, and after, the trade taking place. OFCOM must comply with the procedure set out in Clause 396 when making regulations under this Clause.
78. Clause 167(1) provides that OFCOM may, by regulation, set up a public register of information about the holders of wireless telegraphy licences, and those to whom recognised spectrum access has been granted. This may also include details about the licences and frequencies assigned. The regulations may also prescribe when the register shall be open to the public. OFCOM must comply with the procedure set out in Clause 396 when making regulations under this Clause.
79. Clause 172 gives OFCOM a power to impose penalties for breach of content conditions in any "general multiplex licence". This will bring the enforcement regime for such multiplexes into line with that under the Broadcasting Acts of 1990 and 1996. Clause 173(1) provides that the maximum penalty that OFCOM may impose under this Clause will be the greater of either £250,000 or 5% of the relevant amount of gross revenue. Clause 173(4) provides for the Secretary of State to amend by order the amount specified (but not the percentage of revenue). This flexibility reflects provisions in the Broadcasting Act 1990 and allows the maximum to be adjusted in the light of changing circumstances. Any orders made under Clause 173(4) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
80. Clause 174(4) provides that a person's gross revenue for any period, for the purposes of Clause 172, is to be calculated in accordance with principles published by OFCOM. OFCOM must consult the Secretary of State and Treasury before issuing the principles and the Secretary of State must lay them before Parliament. This process mirrors that in the analogous provisions of schedule 1 to the Broadcasting Act 1996, as amended by the Bill. The principles may also make provision about the manner of determining the extent to which any part of a person's gross revenue is attributable to the provision of any service.
Modification of definition of "wireless telegraphy"
81. Clause 181(1) gives the Secretary of State the power, by order, to modify the definition of "wireless telegraphy" in section 19(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 so as to vary the upper frequency limit (currently 3,000 Giga-Hertz) of the electromagnetic spectrum to which the Wireless Telegraphy Acts apply. Although current technology does not permit the use for radiocommunications of frequencies anywhere near that limit, as technology progresses it may be necessary to raise the ceiling. Such an order would be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
82. Certain disputes between communications providers may be referred to OFCOM for resolution. Clause 182(4) provides for references to be made in such manner as OFCOM may require by notice published under Clause 182(5). No Parliamentary procedure applies to this notice.
Appeals against decisions by OFCOM, the Secretary of State etc.
83. Clause 189(3) and (4) applies rules of the Competition Appeal Tribunal made under section 15 of the Enterprise Act 2002 to the procedure and time for appealing to the Tribunal against decisions of OFCOM under Part 2 of the Bill and certain other decisions. Under section 15, the rules are made by the Secretary of State subject to annulment by either House.
84. Clause 190(2)(a) also applies the rules of the Competition Appeal Tribunal made by the Secretary of State under section 15 of the Enterprise Act 2002 subject to annulment by either House, in this case to the way and time in which the Competition Commission must decide price control matters referred to them by the Tribunal.
85. Clause 190(2)(b) enables the rules of the Competition Appeal Tribunal made by the Secretary of State under section 15 of the Enterprise Act 2002 subject to annulment by either House to empower the Tribunal to give directions to the Competition Commission about the way and time in which the Commission must decide price control matters referred to them by the Tribunal.
86. Clause 195(3) provides that where set out in an Agreement between the BBC and the Secretary of State, OFCOM may impose penalties on the BBC for contraventions of the Agreement or of provisions of the Bill or Part 5 of the Broadcasting Act 1996. The maximum penalty that OFCOM may impose is £250,000. However, under Clause 195(6), the Secretary of State may by order amend the maximum penalty that may be imposed on the BBC. When making an order under this Clause, the Secretary of State must comply with the affirmative resolution procedure.
87. Clause 199(1) permits the Secretary of State by order to limit the amount of money that the Channel 4 Corporation is permitted to borrow. Before making an order under this Clause, the Secretary of State must comply with the negative resolution procedure. She must also consult the Channel 4 Corporation and obtain the consent of the Treasury.
88. Under Clause 201(8) the Secretary of State may by order modify any Act resulting from the Bill or any other enactment to require the Welsh Authority to provide S4C in digital rather than analogue form, to merge S4C and S4C Digital, and to apply enactments relating to S4C and S4C Digital to the merged service. Such an order may require the provision of the whole or part of the merged service in analogue digital simulcast for a period specified in the order. Before making an order, the Secretary of State must comply with the negative resolution procedure.
89. Clause 202 confers on the Welsh Authority the power to provide certain broadcasting services (other than S4C and S4C Digital). If such services are provided, amongst other things, the service must be a public service of high quality for the dissemination of information, education or entertainment wholly or mainly to the Welsh public. Under Clause 202(1)(b), the Welsh Authority must obtain the approval of the Secretary of State for such a service and any such approval must be given in an order. The order must also set out the nature and characteristics of the service and (if it is a television service) its public service remit. When making an order under Clause 202(1)(b), the Secretary of State must comply with the negative resolution procedure.
90. Clause 203 enables the Welsh Authority to carry out activities in association with, and connected (other than merely in financial terms) with the provision of S4C, S4C Digital or other service approved by the Secretary of State under Clause 202. Clauses 203(2) and (3) require the Secretary of State to approve by order the carrying out of these activities. However, the Secretary of State may not authorise the Welsh Authority to provide a licensable service directly, although a licensable service could be provided by a S4C company. Any order under Clause 203(2) is subject to the negative resolution procedure.
91. Clause 204(7) amends section 61 of the Broadcasting Act 1990 so that the Secretary of State may increase the annual grant paid to the Welsh Authority if she is satisfied that additional funding is appropriate in light of the costs to the Welsh Authority of providing its public services and broadcasting and distributing such services. In making an order under this Clause the Secretary of State must comply with the affirmative resolution procedure.
92. Clause 206 inserts a new section 183A into the 1990 Act. This new section creates a Gaelic Media Service. The board of this service must presently include a member nominated by the BBC, a member nominated by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and a member nominated by Bord Gaidhlig na h-Alba (the Gaelic Development Agency) ("the GDA"). The Secretary of state will be empowered under the inserted section 183(10) to amend the reference to the GDA, by a negative resolution order. This will enable the Secretary of State to ensure that appropriate body for promotion of Gaelic, should it cease to be the GDA, is always able to nominate a member to sit on the Gaelic Media Service board.
93. When OFCOM issues a licence to a broadcaster they must, under Clause 211(2), license the broadcast to be in digital form and must, if appropriate, include conditions requiring the service to be transmitted in analogue form. Clause 211(3) requires that any such analogue broadcasting conditions must be tailored to enable effect to be given to any direction made, from time to time, by the Secretary of State about the continuation of analogue broadcasting services.
94. Similar duties fall on OFCOM in relation to the licence for Channel 4. Clause 211(2) is mirrored in Clause 228(3), and Clause 211(3) in Clause 228(4).
Meaning of "initial expiry date"
95. Clause 221(2) allows the Secretary of State, by order, to postpone the date on which the Channel 3, Channel 5 and public teletext licences will expire, and to ensure that these licences will not expire less than eighteen months after the date set for digital switchover. This power can only be exercised if the date set for switchover is later than 30 June 2013 (see subsection (3)). Subsections (4) and (5) have the effect that the initial expiry date must always fall at least 18 months after digital switchover (so that the licences will continue for at least that long after switchover). Any order made under this clause is to be subject to the negative resolution procedure.
96. Under Clause 226 OFCOM will have a duty to report to the Secretary of State on the effect of conditions which would be included in the renewed licences on the capacity of Channel 3, 5 and public teletext services to fulfil their public service remit at a commercially sustainable rate. OFCOM may also recommend under subsection (4) that the Secretary of State suspend the right of renewal. If the Secretary of State receives such a recommendation, if she believes it is appropriate to do so, she may provide by order under Clause 227 that some licences are not to be renewed. This order must be made at least eighteen months before the end of the current licensing period and it must apply either to all licences to provide a Channel 3 service, or to all the licences to provide a national Channel 3 service or to all the licences to provide a regional Channel 3 service. Further, subsection (4) provides that this power can be exercised only if a date for switchover has been fixed which falls before the end of that period. Subsection (5) provides that if the Secretary of State postpones the date for switchover after she has made an order preventing the renewal of licences, this order will not have effect if the new date for switchover falls before the end of that period. Subsection (6) makes clear that in such a case, the Secretary of State will be able to make another order preventing the renewal of licences. But this power will be subject to the requirement, set by subsection 221(5), that she must postpone the initial expiry date of the licences when this date falls within the period of eighteen months after switchover. Any order made under this clause is to be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
97. Clause 231(1) provides that the Secretary of State may modify Clause 229 or Clause 230 (which between them define what is, and what is not, a service requiring a television licensable content service licence), if she considers it appropriate. She may also by order provide that a description of service specified in the order is no longer to be licensable. In making any modification, she must take into account the level of protection expected by the public as respects the content of television programmes and text services, taking into account the means of reception; the ability of the public - having been made aware of the contents of a forthcoming programme - to control what they watch; technical innovation; the financial consequences of modification; and the relative ease or difficulty of setting different levels of regulation for different services. Such orders are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.

Learn what it means to love writing for itself.
So many new writers have barely put pen to page when they start asking about how to find an agentor get published. They don't want to hear that this is like trying to whip the cart down the road while the horse is off, cantering around the fields.
That first they must learn what it means to love writing for itself.
If you want to be a writer, not just a hack, you've got to make writing top of your heap. It has to be, or become, more important to you than two of the following: money, family or friends.
It definitely has to be more important than TV.
You've got to do the work. Lay down sentences and paragraphs, like an athlete lays down miles. Put words through your fingers, like a musician drums scales. Go on your metaphorical knees to the mystery of inspiration, like a priest before an altar.
As you forge your connection to the act of writing, you will find yourself making vows: "I'm going to write every day"; "I'm going to write 5000 words every week until I have a first draft", "I'm going to finish the book by Christmas".
Vows you will inevitably break.
You will work harder than you have ever worked at anything else and see yourself fall short. You will read back words that took weeks or months to get right — and hate every word of it. You will feel in your core what Iris Murdoch meant when she said: "Every book is the wreck of a perfect idea."
You will feel resentful that nobody cares.
But you'll come back round again.
Because nobody out there asked you to do this. The call came from inside and that's the bond you must strengthen.
That is what will enable you to forgive yourself for the broken vows and the work that never lives up to your vision.
That is what will bring you — dragging and screaming, probably — to a true understanding of what writing gives and what it asks in return.
And if, in that understanding, you come to realise there is nothing else for you, you just must write, that — and not getting a publisher or an agent — is what makes you a writer.


Technology has the capacity to connect people on truly incredible scale, but we have also seen technology as a barrier to real human connection and presence. It's all too common these days to spend time with friends or family, only to discover everyone staring down at their phone, immersed in their device rather than engaging with the people close to them. With Be Here, we set out to find a way to change phones from a distraction to a way to better engage with everyone nearby.
Be Here prevents social disconnects by turning each player's mobile device into a piece of the larger group game. Be Here encourages interesting and in-depth conversation among friends by providing a themed set of hypothetical questions based on common interests to consider. By playing at these unusual situations, players gain insight into themselves and their friends.
Click for the Be Here concept video.
The concept for Be Here began with our interest in the group 'flow' state often brought on by multiplayer games, particularly rigorous board games. We began by with a series of interviews of people who enjoy playing games of all types, and surveyed a wide variety of collaborative and competitive board games, video games, and mobile app games. We also visited physical places that people gather to play for long periods of time, such as Seattle's own Card Kingdom.
Across the board, people lit up when talking about the experiences they had playing a game with friends.
Through our research we found that board games succeed in keeping players immersed in the conversation, promoting interesting discussion, and giving people the opportunity to play at situations they wouldn't otherwise encounter. People love board games because not only are they deeply engaged with the game intellectually, but they are also socially focused, particularly in games that promote close interaction with other players. Even when it is not your turn, a good board game encourages you to be physically and vocally engaged with the other players and the game itself, planning your next move.
With Be Here, we attempted to emulate these positive qualities of the board game experience, while avoiding some of the issues associated with physical board games: lack of spontaneity, high learning curves, and negative social perceptions. By turning mobile devices into a piece of the social game, we could also use a game to combat social isolation.
As Be Here is a game played over many sessions, we sought to design a rewards system that persisted for each player and could grow over time. When a player wins a category in Be Here, they're awarded "props" in the form of a digital merit badge, which can be proudly displayed on their profile and used as bragging rights for other players. Since the props are reflective of attributes of the player, winning the same props many times against different sets of players turns them into super "mad props" to show your dominance in this category against all challengers.
The props are all positive, and awarded based on the votes of your friends. Thus, your Be Here profile reflects all the things your friends think make you special.
We found inspiration in childhood social activity groups like Boy/Girl Scouts and camp troops, which led to our round "merit badges" and cheerful aesthetic. We also incorporated large imagery that expands whenever another player/device is added to the game, to help make the moment of joining into a signature, delightful experience. Each image is vibrant and evocative of the question category that is selected, making a new "board" for every round.
The game awards "props" to the winners of each round, based on the players' votes. Over time, your profile reflects the things that make you special to your friends.
Be Here was a conceptual project for my undergraduate thesis, but the concept remains compelling for further work. Recent studies have shown that teenagers and young adults deemed "chronically lonely" tend to stay that way into their adult lives, and believe their loneliness is their own fault. Games and interactive social experiences like Be Here can help bring down barriers thrown up by technology and encourage low-risk social engagement, as well as provide self-affirming messages from peers.


2:15 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. Methodologies and Metrics As with any interdisciplinary field, the nature of the study of virtual worlds is intimately connected to the nature of the methodology used to study the worlds. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies of various stripes all have their role here, but what role? Ethnographies, case studies, historiographies and related methods allow us to detect and understand certain types of behavior. Empirical and quantitative methods are good at creating generalized insights about behavior, but comparatively lousy in generating insights of how and why and with what meaning. In this workshop we will explore when certain methods are better than others, whether these methods are inconsistent, and what we need to understand about methodologies of virtual world research in order to do interesting work.
Panelists: Nic Ducheneaut (PARC); Thomas Malaby (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee); Dmitri Williams (University of Illinois).
Why do I blog this? because I am doing game research, especially about user experiences matters 8using both quant and qual methodologies).

Fraudulent claims found during Manatee County CARES Act audit
Jesse Mendoza
Manatee County continues to disburse CARES Act funds to residents in need of assistance because of COVID-19, but some of those claims are now under investigation.
The Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptrollers Office has turned over one fraudulent claim for business assistance and four claims for rental assistance, totaling about $77,000, to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office for further investigation.
The CARES Act funds are designed to help residents, businesses, nonprofits and local government agencies that were adversely affected financially by COVID-19. Manatee County has distributed about $49 million of its $70 million in CARES Act funding so far.
Manatee Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller Angelina Colonneso said audits are ongoing, and officials with the Inspector General's office are monitoring for additional fraudulent claims.
"To those who wish to exploit the system, we will find you and you will be held accountable," said Colonneso in a press release.
In addition, the office said it prevented more than $500,000 in ineligible CARES Act payments and uncovered two possible cases of homestead fraud. Those homestead cases have since been referred to the Property Appraiser's Office.
Applications are still open for Manatee County residents that are in need of emergency rental assistance because of COVID-19.
New rounds of the Manatee CARES Small Business Grant Program, economic recovery program for nonprofits, and the new Mortgage Assistance Program are also expected to open soon.

F TIME constitutes the foundation of material being, this physical movement is itself founded on a primordial movement, a metaphysical movement, so to speak, which is common to all creatures: namely, the passage from nothingness to existence. "Already the transition from nonbeing to being is a movement and a change." "Only uncreated Nature is incapable of movement. All the rest is subject to change, because, without exception, it began by way of an alteration, when it was drawn by divine power from nonbeing to existence." But we know already that this "beginning" of being should not be understood in a temporal way, time being a category of created being. The being that comes to be does not cease to become, or, rather, it is quite entirely becoming. The idea of change that comes into play here is therefore subjacent to all its being: "Since it possesses the beginning (ἀρχή) of its being by way of change, it is impossible that it should not be entirely variable (τρεπτός)." For the material creature, this perseverance in change is precisely time. For the spiritual being, on the other hand, it is participation in the cause of being not only insofar as it is source but also insofar as it is end. Since its existence is, so to speak, a continuous effort to maintain itself in being, its perfection consists of a perpetual effort toward God. This effort is the spiritual participation in God: "Creation stands within the realm of the beautiful only through a participation in that which is the best. It has not begun merely at one point or another to exist, but at every moment it is perceived to be in its beginning stages on account of its perpetual growth toward that which is the best." It follows from this that, just as the finitude of material being engenders a certain eternity of emanation, albeit in the horizontal scheme of the quantitative and of number, similarly the finitude of spiritual being, which by its participation in God as source and as end constitutes itself in a nature that is opposed to God, engenders an aspiration that is even more appropriately infinite, a vertical ascent that is limitless: "Never will the soul reach its final perfection, for it will never encounter a limit, . . . it will always be transformed into a better thing." The reason for this infinite becoming is the very infinity of the source, which the creature seeks to be reunited with: "Since the First Good is infinite in its nature, communion with it on the part of the one whose thirst is quenched by it will have to be infinite as well, capable of being enlarged forever." Thus, there are two forms of becoming, the two of them together yielding the total formula for the analogy of being. One of these two is the horizontal movement of created being, which is to say, its foundation of nothingness, which separates it eternally from God, inasmuch as pure potentiality (time) is in itself κένωμα καὶ οὐδέν [emptiness and nothingness]. The other expresses the ascending movement of becoming, which is the innate idea and desire for God in the creature. We shall be obliged to show farther on in this essay in what way these two aspects are linked and inseparable in all of created being. Let it suffice at this point merely to have adverted to this fact.
At this point we must examine more closely the specific character of these two forms of becoming, and particularly that of material becoming, whose immanent infinity has not yet been clearly revealed to us. We had even, in a contrary sense, identified time and limit. But if it is true in a general and abstract fashion that material being is the movement between a beginning and an end, both of which transcend it, we also noticed that this limitation was bound to be conceived as an utterly intrinsic characteristic, which is applied to each of its moments and each of its elements. It has existence only as a perpetual transition between two extremes that are not it.
This material and fleeting [ῥοώδης] life of bodies, which advances in a perpetual movement, possesses force of being in virtue of the very fact that it never ceases to move. But the situation may be likened to a river. A river that follows its course is able to show that the bed in which it flows is always full but that it is never the same water staying in the same place, inasmuch as one part of the stream withdraws from any given place while another part draws near. Similarly the matter of this life changes within the context of a certain movement and a certain flux, even while it admits opposite impressions within a state of perpetual transition. Thus it is impossible for it to cease from this process of alteration, but [in place] of the possibility of remaining at rest it possesses an untiring movement through a change of similar [qualitiesJ. And if ever it ceased to move, it would at the same moment cease to exist.
Thus must fullness empty itself and emptiness fill itself. Sleep must succeed waking. "None of this can have indefinitely long duration. Rather each state must yield place to another, for by such substitutions nature restores itself."
If the forces of the living being are in a perpetual tension, members that are excessively stretched will end up being broken and torn of necessity. Contrariwise, a prolonged loosening of the body will produce a fall and a dissolution of the organism. For nature, the power of continuance, therefore, consists of the art of touching the two extremes at the right moment [κατὰ καιρόν] and in the right measure [μετρίως]. And, by a perpetual transition toward the opposite, it takes its rest in a series of pairs.
And not only that which is alive but rather the whole world also is conceived according to this law. "Divine artistry was capable, by way of rest and movement, of giving becoming to nonexistent things and continuity to beings." "Stability" is given to the earth, and "movement" is given to the heavens, so that creation may find itself moving between the extremes (μεταξὺ τῶν ἐναντίων κτίσις) . On all sides creation is threatened by an excess (ὑπερβολή) of movement or of rest, but it is also in itself the fruit of these extremes ("for that which appears in this world is none other than the result of movement and stability"). In dissociating them, creation unites them (μιγνὺς ἅμα καὶ διαιρῶν) and thus produces the great kinship of all beings. But the extremes themselves are not exempt from contradiction. The heavens, which appear to be pure movement, possess at the same time, the immobility of nature. The earth, on the other hand, which is apparently pure stability, undergoes alterations of substance. Divine Wisdom had two equally profound reasons for this. One of them was so that no part of the world might remain without contact with the others but rather that "each part might incline toward the other" "and that all of creation might be united with a view to the same harmonious aspiration [συμπνέοι πρὸς ἑαυτὴν ἡ κτίσις]". The second reason, which proceeds immediately from the first, is so that no part of the universe may be taken for divine, neither the heavens on account of their immutability nor the earth on account of its stability. But with a mixture of contrasts in the one and the other, all appearances of divinity were bound to disappear. Everything in this world is essentially relative. Everything holds together only by being counterbalanced by an opposite "excess". All the beauty of the world, all its worth, all that harmony that arises from the rhythm of becoming, is founded on those elements in it that are, properly speaking, opposed to the divine. Polytheism arose when men marveled at the world, no longer in its entirety, but rather in its parts, whereas the words of Genesis "and God saw that it was very good" can be applied only to the whole. For the good is never one of the oppositions, since the latter are only "good" in relation to one another. It is the continuity of the whole (συνεχές ἐστι τὸ πᾶν ἑαυτῷ) that leads without any slackening from one extreme to the other (οὐκ ἔχει τινὰ λύσιν ἡ ἁρμονία) and that ties opposites together indissolubly (οὐκ ἀπέσχισται τὸ πᾶν τῆς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν συναφείας). It is this world full of "vicissitudes, of transmutations of all kinds", that caused God to utter the phrase λίαν καλόν (very good) . For the perfection of this universe is a symphonic perfection that requires a diversity of sounds and instruments in order to form a rhythm and a harmony that are at once multiple and unique. In this immense mixture (τοῦ παντὸς κρᾶσις), the mutual touching of the elements (αὐτὴ ἑαυτῆς ἁπτομένη) produces that unique stability that is ordered and invariable rhythm (διά τινος τεταγμένου τε καὶ άπαραβάτου ῥυθμοῦ), "a veritable song of praise for the unapproachable and unspeakable glory of God". In this system of harmonious agreement, each quality emphasizes, by its very opposition, the other quality, "in such a way that there arises in movement that which is stable and in tranquillity that which is perpetually in movement". Incarnated in this universal fellowship of feeling (συμπάθεια πάντων) is the pure idea of music (ἡ πρώτη τε καὶ ἀρχέτυπος καὶ ἀληθής ἐστι μουσική), which the Wisdom of God has itself composed.
Man is by the constitution of his body a microcosm. His harmonious proportions are an image of the music of the world. And since "all that is in accordance with nature is dear to nature", man recognizes himself in music as in a mirror (ἀναθεωρεῖ ἑαυτὴν ἡ φύσις). In the polyphonic melody of becoming, the soul perceives, as it were, an echo of the divine infinity to which she aspires, and she risks letting herself be seduced by its very beauty. This time, it is a seduction, no longer by a part of the world that has been erected into an absolute, but by the song of becoming in its wholeness.
However, when the infinite soul would like to take her fill of the infinite becoming of the world, she realizes that she is like a man "who pursues the shadow of his head. She ends up running after something that is ungraspable." For all sensual delight that is material is extinguished with the achievement of the pleasure. The sensual delight must be interrupted "in order that the desire for enjoyment might return". Thus it is that desire is perpetually recovered by means of disgust. Material infinity resembles "the building of sand castles by a child. The pleasure the child takes in constructing them dies out coextensively with his joy in doing such work . . . , and the sand collapses, leaving no trace of the things that were made with such painstaking care." "Even as those who write in the medium of water might work hard to sketch things with their hand . . . but nothing remains on the surface of the water, . . . the same applies to all quests and all activities that pursue sensual pleasure." The soul would like to give the illusion of orderly progress toward an end. "But, like beasts that toil at a millstone, we turn round and round, our eyes blinkered, tethered as we are to the millstone of this life. . . . I shall enumerate to you the following round of things: hunger, satiety, sleep, waking, evacuation, repletion. Always one follows the other, and the other follows the one, and then again the other, and never does this round of activities have an end, until such a time as we escape from this millstone." The soul would still like to give herself the illusion that her infinite desire alone causes her to rise up in some way. But she is "like those who scale a sandy slope. Even if they look like they are traversing great tracts of ground on foot, they tire themselves to no avail. Each time the sand slides to the bottom, in such a way that there is a great effort of movement but no progress." We cannot stop the flowing current of becoming and appropriate to ourselves the thing that is happening: "None of these passing things belongs to us. How do we hold that which is dissolving and flowing away from us? If it is true that what is spiritual and immaterial remains, but that matter passes away in a perpetual alteration and flux, he who lets go of what is stable must himself end up swept away by the current of what is unstable, and he who loses the stable and the unstable finds himself betrayed by both of them." But in that case how should one behave in the face of this symphonic arrangement of the world? A sense of the relativity of each of its elements must be reacquired so that their transparency might then be seen. Only those who are foolish wish to erect sensible things around themselves like a wall that blocks their view of the spiritual things beyond it. In this case only, true spiritual thirst is transformed into a kind of sickly thirst, like that suffered by those who have been bitten by a snake, and desire becomes cursed like the water vessel of the Danaides, so that, at long last, there is nothing left in the soul but shame. Thus the mold in which the bricks are baked is found each time to be empty and burning hot. The miser - and whoever would like to put a stop to becoming in order to seize it is a miser - resembles the sea in the immensity of his desire, since rivers flow down to the sea without surcease, and yet the sea never becomes more full on this account. Everything in this world that appears to have absolute perfection is in fact defective in that it possesses something more perfect: "Terra stat in aeternum! [the earth stands eternally!] But what is more tedious than this fixity without movement? The sea is stirred up with boundless movement - yet what is more meaningless?"
