Srinagar, Jul 14 (KNS): An important meeting of Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Forum was held at Central Office Srinagar under the chair of President EJAC, Chairman Teachers Joint Action Committee Abdul Qayoom Wani.
According to a statement issued to KNS, all the participants in the meeting discussed about the preparations and strategy about the peaceful protest March announced by Teachers Joint Action Committee from Sher-i-Kashmir Park to Raj-Bhavan on 17th of July regarding the implementation of 7th pay commission to SSA teachers/head teachers and RMSA Masters and linking of their salaries with state sector.
It was decided that thousands of teachers from all the three regions of the state under the banner of Teachers Joint Action Committee will participate in this mega and historical protest under the leadership of Abdul Qayoom Wani to press for their genuine demands and rights.
All participants assured the Chairman that they will leave no stone unturned to make this programme a historical one and result oriented.
While addressing the gathering Abdul Qayoom Wani said that debarring SSA teachers, head teachers and RMSA masters from 7th pay commission is a gross injustice and unacceptable to teaching fraternity.
Wani termed the issue very sensitive and based on just and logic. He said that Government is unnecessarily harassing SSA teachers/head teachers and RMSA masters by debarring them from 7th pay commission. The nation builders are in mental trauma and can no longer believe on hollow assurances because of delay tactics regarding these issues.
President EJAC said that until and unless these issues are resolved, teachers Joint Action Committee will continue its struggle and will not compromise under any circumstances. He reiterated that teachers do not want confrontation neither do they want to waste the precious time of the students but they have been pushed to the wall by violating civil service conduct rules by not implementing 7th pay commission in favour of SSA teachers, head teachers and RMSA masters.
Wani urged upon all the state, Provincial, District, Zonal leaders and volunteers of teachers forum to make Sher-i-Kashmir Park chalo programme a grand success.
Chairman TJAC directed the cadres to maintain highest order of discipline during the peaceful protest and obey the directives of leadership. He said that the protest March from Sher-i-Kashmir Park will start on 17th July 2018 at 11.00 am and will proceed peacefully to Raj-Bhavan where a memorandum regarding these issues will be submitted to the His Excellency Governor of the state.
In the meeting all the arrangements were finalised and different Committees were framed to maintain discipline and order in the protest.
The meeting also finalised the arrangements for boarding and lodging for thousands of teachers coming to participate in the programme from far off districts like Jammu, Kathua, Sambha, Rajouri, Poonch, Reasi, Udhampur, Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban, Leh Kargil, Karnah, Keran and Machil.
Abdul Qayoom Wani urged upon His Excellency Governor, N. N Vohra, Advisors to Governor, B. B Vyas, Khurshid Ahmad Ganaie and worthy Chief Secretary, B. V Subramanium for their personal intervention to resolve this sensitive issue at an earliest and issue orders for the implementation of 7th pay commission to SSA teachers, head teachers and RMSA Masters and linking of their salaries with the state sector otherwise Teachers Joint Action Committee will be forced to intensify its protest, the responsibility of which will totally lie on the shoulders of the Government. All the state, Provincial leaders, District presidents and Zonal presidents were present in the meeting.

Being a member of the illustrious Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an astounding accomplishment. Having undergone several years of training under the tutelage of a master ninja is something many of us should aspire to and learning it all from a rodent master who managed to learn everything, himself, by watching his own human master!? Who can hope to come near to that!?
Of course, it is tough trying to be a fulltime ninja when you're still pretty young. There are a ton of things that you'd be missing out on. Think of all the fun, the friends, the pizza! Fortunately, the TMNT squad is a strong and solid family and the quartet manages to work together to give them all a healthy dose of every aspect of growing up. And, Raphael is obviously the most important of the brothers. Without him, how would anything get done? Aggressive and ready to knock some skulls together whenever the Foot Clan are ready to cause problems, you can trust that Raphael is going to be in the front line with his sai blades!
And, it is time for your tot to get some of that same training as a pre-teen mutant ninja turtle. And your kiddo can skip some of that rat training, too, with this Ninja Turtle Movie Child Deluxe Raphael costume. The polyester jumpsuit is comfortable and has Velcro in the back to attach the foam-backed shell which can be stuffed for a profound 3D effect! Fiberfill stuffing helps to bulk up some otherwise developing muscles and the molded plastic mask helps to give your tyke the mutant powers that they'll need without having to actually swim around in some toxic waste. Officially licensed, you and your kiddo are ready to tackle your training and all the threats Halloween has to offer… though, you might consider a plastic weapon, too, just in case.
The costume was one of my child's favorite gifts. It was made well and true to size.

Charles Worsley
The presumed grave of Major General Charles Worsley was discovered in the south east apsidal chapel of Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey in the late 19th century. The skeleton was of a man of about 6 feet in height and under middle age. He was in favour with Oliver Cromwell but possibly because he was not in the vault with the other Cromwellians or his grave was not marked his body was not dis-interred with the others at the Restoration of Charles II. He does not occur in the Abbey burial register but a note in the archives records payment for his burial. No coffin plate was found with the burial.
He was born in Manchester on 24th June 1622, a son of Ralph Worsley and his wife Isabel (Massey). He was a captain in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War, rising to the rank of Major General in 1655. He was mainly stationed in Lancashire. His first wife was Mary Booth and they had a son Ralph and two daughters. His second wife was Dorothy Kenyon by whom he had three children including son Charles. He died at St James' Palace in London and was buried with great state in the Abbey
A.P. Stanley Historical Memorials of Westminster Abbey, 3rd and subsequent editions, describes the discovery of the skeleton.

the best tech for your favorite students
It's been a long time since I've experienced those back-to-school feelings (or had an entire summer free, for that matter!). I remember the excitement and nerves about taking on harder subjects, encountering new teachers and classmates, and shopping for clothes and supplies. Way back then, the latter were mostly notebooks, pens and pencils, and (paper) books. But the world is a very different place now. From elementary school to high school and through college, students need technology products to get their work done. As an example, in 2017, Deloitte estimated 18 percent of US parents would buy their child an electronic gadget, the average amount spent at $254. Computers and hardware had an even higher average spend per child, at $307. College students will probably need to spend even more for their…
global chip sales took a dive
You need only a basic PC with an Intel Core i3 for Netflix and cloud gaming. The market for $1,000-plus gaming PCs and expensive dedicated GPUs is shrinking rapidly. PC gaming got way too expensive. —Gondino Not really. We're just in kind of a holding pattern right now… Most users with Sky Lake or better have no reason to upgrade their CPUs (and mobos), and Turing GPUs probably aren't going to suddenly skyrocket.—Daniel Glass What I see is more and more people who are no longer upgrading their PCs. They use cloud gaming, they use Netflix, they browse the internet, and they have zero need for a 16-core CPU or a $600 GPU. They need a $100 i3 with iGPU and they're set; they don't upgrade their PC until it breaks.—Gondino The PC gaming…
restoring vision with bionic eyes is no longer science fiction
Bionic vision might sound like science fiction, but Dr. Michael Beyeler is working on just that. Originally from Switzerland, Dr. Beyeler is wrapping up his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington before moving to the University of California Santa Barbara this fall to head up the newly formed Bionic Vision Lab in the Departments of Computer Science and Psychological & Brain Sciences. We spoke with him about this "deep fascination with the brain" and how he hopes his work will eventually be able to restore vision to the blind. Here are edited and condensed excerpts from our conversation. PCMag: Dr. Beyeler, give us an overview of the 'neural engineering' field that will lead to bionic sight in the future. Dr. Michael Beyeler: Neuroengineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field aiming to engineer devices…
intel demos ambient pc that observes you and adapts to your needs
For a long while, you'd rarely find a computer without an Intel CPU. But with the recent rise of GPU-centric processing in blockchain and AI as well as ARM's dominance in mobile computing, Intel has struggled to keep up. To compete and remain innovative, the company has announced myriad strange ideas over the past few years. The latest addition—an ambient PC prototype—lands somewhere between cool and creepy. At this year's Computex event in Taipei, Intel showed off a handful of prototypes to demonstrate its efforts in artificial intelligence, modular hardware, and ambient computing. But what is ambient computing, exactly? The term refers to a responsive breed of electronics that observe and react to the presence of people. These devices remain on at all times, always watching, to adapt to and serve…
e3 2019: everything you missed
After days of booths and press conferences, gameplay reveals and story trailers, E3 2019 wrapped up in June. Some of the most prominent video games companies attended this year and brought a slew of announcements. Here are the biggest stories. MICROSOFT The next Xbox system is definitely coming, and it'll be powerful, with a custom CPU featuring AMD's Zen-2 architecture that can output 8K graphics at 120 frames per second. Beyond its beefy specs, all we know about "Project Scarlett" is that it will be released in the 2020 holiday season. Until then, Xbox One is Microsoft's console of the day. The company also announced a PC-only version of the Xbox Game Pass service, along with a $15 monthly Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that wraps up the Xbox One and PC Xbox Game…
never give ransomware scammers your money
Ransomware is a pernicious plague that shows no sign of letting up. In fact, if Riviera Beach, Florida, is any indication, it might be getting worse. After being crippled by ransomware, that city voted to pay $600,000 to the perpetrators in the hope of regaining control of its systems. I applaud the city leaders who put the issue to a vote—even if it wasn't a public vote—and handled the issue with the seriousness it deserves. That said, I believe no one should ever pay the ransom. It's not just because "we don't negotiate with terrorists." It's far simpler: there's no guarantee paying the ransom will work. RANSOM WHAT? For those who may have forgotten, ransomware is malware that takes the files of an infected computer hostage. The malware encrypts any and all files…

The palate is wonderfully intense, with trademark acidity and tannin. This wine drinks well after several hours in a decanter, but the best of this is yet to come. The finish reveals layers of fruit and toasted earthy spice. This wine requires a dish that is protein rich to soften the tannins. We are the only retail shop in England to stock this wine.

This Church Has Its Heart In The Right Place. But I'm Not Sure The BEER Is!
Bode Miller's daughter drowned in a tragic pool accident. Now, after getting the call every parent dreads, the former Olympian is using donations to fund water safety education in her honor. And he and his family hope to prevent as many drownings as possible.
Former Olympic alpine skier Bode Miller wasn't home when the terrible tragedy struck his family. His wife, Morgan, was next door visiting the neighbors. By her side was the couple's precious 19-month-old daughter, Emeline (Emmy for short).
But while the adults chatted, little Emmy quietly wandered off.
"She was only missing for just a short amount of time," Orange County Fire Authority Captain Steve Concialdi said.
Somehow, the little girl managed to get out of the house and headed back home to the backyard pool.
The moment Morgan looked down to see Emmy no longer next to her, she rushed straight out back. There, the sight of her baby girl in the water confirmed her worst fears.
"Come on, come on baby girl. . . Get it out. Come on, honey."
Sadly, though, it was too late. Even though the little girl had only been in the water a few minutes, they couldn't resuscitate her. Doctors pronounced Emmy dead at the hospital.
Emmy is Bode and Morgan's second child together, and a third is on the way. Bode also has two other children from a previous relationship.
As the ambulance left for the hospital, someone placed a call to let Bode know what was going on. It's the kind of call no parent ever wants to receive. And the news of his baby girl's accidental drowning was a crushing blow.
Messages of love and support poured in. Of course, there's nothing anyone can really say to ease the pain for a parent grieving a child. Many people prayed.
Upon hearing the news that Bode Miller's daughter drowned, many people desperately wanted to do something to help. And so, a family friend set up a GoFundMe page to accept donations for the Miller family.
The kindness and generosity served as a blessing to Brode and Morgan. They thanked everyone online for their support.
Later, Bode took to social media to announce the family's plans for honoring their baby girl. They decided to donate the funds raised to support water safety education.
"We are inspired to make our baby girls memory go forth and help prevent as many drownings as possible," Brode wrote on social media.
Sadly, this utterly heartbreaking story is all too common. It's an important reminder of just how quickly tragedy can strike.
Our hearts go out to the grieving Miller family. They will certainly be in our prayers.
Please be sure to share this story as a reminder of pool safety precautions!

History of Hawaii's Big Island
Hawaii's Big Island, like the name implies, is the state's biggest island. And it is actually still growing, to date, because of its active volcanoes. The volcanic island has, so far, a land area of 4,028 square miles, which makes it larger than when all the state's other islands are combined.
Legend has it that the Big Island was first discovered by Hawai'iloa. Hawai'iloa was a Polynesian navigator, who eventually lent his name to the state. Other stories have it that the Big Island and the rest of Hawaii was once the realm of Hawaiki. This is supposedly where people go in their afterlife as this was the gods' realm.
In reality, the Big Island was discovered by explorers from the Polynesian region of the Marquesas Islands. These early settlers came into the island at around one thousand five hundred (1,500) years ago. Western culture was only introduced through Western explorers and missionaries who came into the Big Island in the 1700s and 1800s. Sugar and cattle were also introduced into the island through these travelers.
As observable in present day Big Island, much of the Western influences have mixed in with ancient Hawaiian cultures. The result is an engaging modern island, visited for its tropical ambiance, easy-going lifestyle, and lush mountains and seas. Big Island falls under the County of Hawaii, with the governing seat at the town of Hilo. As of 2008, the population of the island is a little over two hundred thousand.
The big and growing island
The name Big Island is actually a nickname that stuck. This is primarily because the island is the biggest in Hawaii, and it's still growing. At the same time, the Big Island is also the youngest among the state's other islands. It is only a little more than five hundred thousand (500,000) years old.
Perhaps the continued growth of the Big Island owes to it being the legendary home of the goddess of the volcano, Pele. And why not? The Big Island is famous for the Kilauea volcano, one of the volcanoes responsible for the island's continued growth. This is said to be Pele's current home, after hopping from one Hawaii volcano to another. Hence, today, the Kilauea volcano is the most active in the regions and is currently spewing the most lava.
The Big Island is actually on five shield volcanoes that overlap one another. The oldest is the Kohala volcano, which is already an extinct volcano. Two other dormant volcanoes came after one another; that is, Mauna Kea and Hualalai. The Hualalai, however, is still being monitored for activity.
The two active volcanoes in the Big Island are Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Kilauea is quite an active volcano. On the other hand, Mauna Loa is one of the biggest volcanoes in the whole world, extending into the Pacific Ocean, and is also still active. These two exhibit continuous lava flow, further adding to the landmass of the Big Island.
From 1983 to 2002, the Big Island grew by five hundred and forty three (543) acres. This was because of the Kilauea volcano's consistent lava flow. However, while the volcano has added hectares to the island's landmass, it has also destroyed as well. From the 1960s to the 1990s, the volcano has destroyed three towns. These are the towns of Kapoho, Kalapana, and Kaimu. In fact, the Queen's bath, a popular fresh water pool in the Kalapana town, had been overrun by lava three years before the entire town was destroyed.
The connection of the activities of the Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes is still being studied. Current observations show that they alternate in terms of hyperactivity. Each volcano is said to take a decade of activity before resting, allowing the other to take over. However, there are contrary historical events, when the two volcanoes erupted at the same time. While much of the Big island's tourism and agricultural industries are built around these two volcanoes, the risks posed by these majestic wonders are still very much a reality.
Of course, there are perks to being on five giant volcanoes. The rich geological surrounds and history of the Big Island have given it such ecological diversity, making it the biggest playground in the whole of Hawaii. In the island, you can find everything; from snowy mountains and thick rain forests to black sand beaches and desert plains. This has made the Big Island one of the primary destinations in the state, as well as the rest of the United States.
A run through history
The Big Island is the youngest among the islands of Hawaii. It is only half a million years old. The Big Island is said to have been first discovered by travelers from the Marquesas Islands of the Polynesian region. This was only about one thousand five hundred (1,500) years ago.
Westerners began coming into the island when Captain Cook landed in 1778. After a year, the captain was killed at Kealakekua Bay by tribal warriors. Regardless, he opened the door for other travelers to set foot and settle in the island.
At around this time, the Big Island had several political divisions (or chiefdoms). These chiefdoms were constantly at war, until they were united in 1791. The unification of the Big Island tribes was due to the efforts of Kamehameha, who hailed from Kohala. He ruled the Big Island as king until 1804. After that year, he moved to Oahu, only to return to the island in 1812, seven years before he died. Kamehameha is credited as the greatest king to rule Hawaii.
Western religions first came into the Big Island in 1820. This was through the efforts of the first missionaries in the island. They landed in Kailua-Kona, where they first began their missionary work.
This was followed by other Western travelers. Some of the early voyagers introduced cattle and sugar into the local agriculture. This was the roots of Parker Ranch, perhaps one of the oldest and definitely one of the largest cattle ranches in the Big Island. Sugar plantations also found a home, later on blooming into one of the prime industries of Hilo.
To date, the Big Island is at the forefront of Hawaiian industry and culture. The island's rich culture and history is now the backdrop of a very active tourism industry. At the same time, much of the island's ancient practices are kept alive because of the modern traveler's interest in them.
Historical must see's when on the Big Island
Given the rich history of the Big Island, there are some historical sites that travelers shouldn't miss when visiting. These are:
1. Kealakekua Bay: This infamous bay is said to be the spot where European voyager, Captain James Cook, was killed in a battle against Hawaiian natives. This was during the 1700s. Aside from the historical significance of the place, it also boasts of lush marine life, perfect for snorkeling and diving. There are several dive centers in the surrounding areas that can rent out gears and offer dive guide services.
2. King Kamehameha I State Monument and Statue: Kamehameha is said to be Hawaii's greatest king. A state monument and statue was erected in his honor in the town of Kapaau. This was the original monument put up for him. However, over the years, this monument was thought to be lost at sea. This has since been rediscovered and then restored. The other more popular Kamehameha monument is on the island of Oahu. This one is close to the Iolani Palace and also experiences sizable visitor traffic.
3. Mokuaikaua Church: The church has been around since 1820, and is at Kailua-Kona. This is the state's first Christian Church. Aside from the historical significance of this site, the architecture of the church is also noteworthy to see.
4. Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park: The park functioned as a refuge for those who broke local taboos. It is a one hundred eighty (180) acre land on the Kona Coast, and comes complete with necessary infrastructures and self-sustaining amenities. Since becoming a national historic park, its ancient temples, petroglyphs, sacred burial grounds, and other features have been restored.
5. Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site: This site was built by King Kamehameha as one of the ways to unify the different chiefdoms of the island. Constructed from 1790 to 1791 in North Kohala, the site functioned as the ancient Hawaiians' last religious temple (or heiau).
The Big Island's rich history has made it what it is today. Being the biggest and most diverse of the state's island, many travelers linger in the Big Island to enjoy all that it has to offer. There are several monuments, architectural wonders, and historical sites to check out. These provide a unique feel of the island. Likewise, the natural richness of the Big Island is incomparable. With five volcanoes on its land, the island is a big fiery and changing element that's worth several visits. It is no wonder that it is one of the more popular global destinations.

Blog / Results from the NeurIPS Black Box Optimization Competition
Results from the NeurIPS Black Box Optimization Competition
Michael McCourt	 December 18, 2020
Advanced Optimization Techniques, Hyperparameter Optimization, SigOpt Company News
Every year in December, SigOpt looks forward to NeurIPS, an increasingly large meeting of the members of the machine learning community. As the topic of machine learning has attracted more researchers, and the application of machine learning has reached increasingly broad fields, this meeting regularly features exciting research and fun interactions with colleagues (you can see some of our previous exploits here). The digital nature of this year's conference unfortunately stymied some of these fun interactions, but there were a still great number of presentations from researchers around the world.
As part of this year's conference, SigOpt co-sponsored the Black Box Optimization competition along with Facebook, Twitter, ChaLearn and 4Paradigm. In this competition, participants submitted black box optimization programs, designed to operate with batch parallelism, that were evaluated on hidden functions. The results of their programs were posted online, which gave the participants an opportunity for meta-learning — they could alter their submissions and try to improve their performance. On October 15, the final submissions were judged on a hidden test set of functions (which were distinct from the earlier performance, though closely related).
Just before NeurIPS, the winners were announced! On the Friday of the conference, all the NeurIPS competitions presented the winners with their awards, and we heard from many of the participants regarding how their strategies evolved over the competition and what lessons they learned. Many of the participants provided articles explaining their strategies (see here for these articles, as well as some code). The top 3 participants also provided videos: Alexander Cowen-Rivers from Huawei Noah's Ark Lab, Jiwei Jlu from NVIDIA RAPIDS.AI, and Mikita Sazanovich from JetBrains Research. This was a great collection of energetic and outstanding researchers sharing their hard-earned insights with each other and the rest of the ML optimization community.
Figure 1: A depiction of an element of the KAIST submission, where some discrete parameters (categorical or boolean parameters) were managed using a multi-armed bandit methodology.
The figure above depicts the KAIST team's strategy of dealing with discrete parameters through a multi-armed bandit (MAB) methodology. When asked why her team chose to participate in the competition, graduate student Jaeyeon Ahn responded "All of our team members had no experience in black-box optimization competition so we thought it could be a great chance for our own 'exploration'. So we went through some survey on existing works and one of the things that we've found out was that MAB often works well as a pair with Bayesian optimization." In dealing with the COVID situation, she explained "Although it was hard to work together during the COVID situation, we struggled to communicate actively as a team through teamwork tools such as slack and notion. It was truly a great opportunity to learn how the experts all around the world have worked on for the competition!"
Shotaro Sano, who competed as part of a joint team between his company Preferred Networks and CyberAgent, finished in fifth place. When asked about how his strategy performed so well, he responded "We start from TuRBO, which was a good paper, and account for multiple kernels, the discrete domain, and how flat metric values led to stagnation. These flat metric values can be common for ML classification problems. This competition was good to collaborate with colleagues at CyberAgent."
In addition to the main leaderboard, we also created a "warm-starting" leaderboard. In this leaderboard, the participants were made aware of what parameter names were used (such as learning rate); in contrast, the original leaderboard did not provide participants any hint of the role that the parameters might play in the black box functions. Our original competition rules hid this information from the final test, but several teams realized that they could use such information to improve performance. The AutoML team from the University of Freiburg took advantage of this extra knowledge to top this alternate leaderboard. (The 4Paradigm sponsors were so impressed that they provided an extra $3000 prize.)
As sponsors and organizers, we are in the privileged position to be able to learn from the participants. David Eriksson of Facebook Core Data Science commented, "The field of Bayesian optimization has grown immensely over the past few years and many great papers and software packages have been written. I saw this competition as an exciting opportunity to investigate how different Bayesian optimization methods and packages compare when applied to a large number of machine learning hyperparameter optimization problems. My hope is that the learnings from this competition will offer guidance for practitioners using Bayesian optimization on what methods to use for this type of problems as well as encourage interesting new research directions."
The main competition organizer, Ryan Turner of Twitter Cortex, saw this competition as a great opportunity to solidify the position of Bayesian optimization relative to its simpler alternative, random search. "A lot of talk at conferences has been around random search being really effective—just as good for hyperparameter tuning. That there's no benefit to doing anything other than random search. We already had this Bayesmark package which was showing, to us, that this was not the case. This competition was a great opportunity to show, without a doubt, that random search can be improved upon. That was a big motivator for me."
Valohai is a provider of MLOps software, and they contributed their platform to participants during the competition. Senior software developer Juha Kiili saw this as a chance for Valohai to test their infrastructure in a setting with very demanding users. "We ran the biggest pipeline ever ran with Valohai — we pushed the envelope. The full pipeline, associated with the initial testing process, had 2000 nodes running simultaneously. Optimizations were required in the computational process to satisfy certain initial timing restrictions. We really loved being able to push our system and were excited to do so as part of the NeurIPS competition." Building on momentum from this competition, SigOpt recently collaborated with Valohai and Tecton.ai on an MLOps book.
Figure 2: Twitter, SigOpt, Valohai, Facebook, ChaLearn, 4Paradigm join forces at the NeurIPS conference to sponsor and organize the black box optimization competition.
Each year, NeurIPS brings the newest ideas from the ML community to the masses. This year, SigOpt was proud to support the ML community in the ideation and presentation of some of these ideas in black box optimization. Congratulations to all the participants (over 70 teams competed!) and our sincere thanks goes out to the NeurIPS organizers for approving our competition for placement at the conference. We look forward to NeurIPS 2021!

Children, Families, Learning and Leisure
Children, Families, Learning & Leisure Cabinet Member – Minutes – 28 November 2018
14 (14) RECONSTITUTION OF BERKELEY PRIMARY SCHOOL – The Director: Learning, Skills and Culture submitted a report seeking approval of the instrument of government to allow the governing body of Berkeley Primary School to be reconstituted effective from 1 February 2019.
At the full board of governors meeting of Berkeley Primary School held on 9 October 2018, the governors voted to reconstitute the board of governors in line with the School Governance (Constitution) (England) Regulations 2012 and the School Governance (Constitution) (Amendment) Regulations 2014.
The above regulations set out the options available to schools in terms of the overall number of governors, the categories of governor and the guiding principles for the constitution. The regulations gave the board of governors more flexibility with their constitution and stated that boards should be no bigger than they needed to be to carry out their statutory duties.
The constitution of each board of governors was laid down in a document known as the instrument of government. A board of governors could at any time request changes to their constitution, in accordance with the regulations, by varying their instrument of government.
Where changes were proposed, a maintained school's board of governors must prepare a draft instrument of government and submit it to the local authority for approval.
Resolved – That the new instrument of government for Berkeley Primary School be approved.
15 (15) LOCAL AUTHORITY SCHOOL GOVERNORS – The Director: Learning, Skills and Culture submitted a report recommending candidates to serve as local authority governors on the governing bodies of Leys Farm Junior School, Oakfield Primary School, St Hugh's School and The Grange Farm Junior School.
Governing bodies were the key strategic decision making body for schools. It was the governing body's role to set a school's strategic framework and to ensure that all statutory duties were met. The Department for Education identified three main duties which were:
• ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• holding the head teacher to account for the educational performance of school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
• overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money was well spent.
When a LA governor vacancy occurred, the relevant governing body identified the necessary skills, knowledge and experience that would be required of the successful candidates. The LA nominated suitable candidates to the school and the governing body decided whether the nominee met their requirements. The governing body may choose to reject or appoint the candidate accordingly.
Resolved – That the following applicants be recommended for appointment as Local Authority Governors to the board of governors of the schools listed below:
School Applicant
Leys Farm Junior School Mr Christopher Moat
Oakfield Primary School Mr Keith Cook
St Hugh's School Mr Paul Townsley
The Grange Primary School Mrs Mary Fields
16 (16) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE VIRTUAL HEADTEACHER FOR LOOKED AFTER CHILDREN – The Director: Learning, Skills and Culture submitted a report seeking approval of the Annual Report of the Virtual Headteacher for Looked After Children.
The Virtual Headteacher (VHT) provided an Annual Report for the education of Looked After Children (LAC) up to the end of April 2018. The report gave an oversight of the work of the virtual school and outcomes for LAC throughout that period.
The virtual school was accountable to the Multi-Agency Looked After Children Partnership and Corporate Parenting Board. It held regular Children in Care Education and Employability meetings to address any issues regarding children's education and discussed any requests for school moves for which the VHT provided oversight. The meeting had representation from staff across services for children, health and colleges.
The previous VHT retired in October 2017 and a new headteacher was in post from September 2018. The new VHT was a serving principal in North Lincolnshire.
Resolved – That the Annual Report of the Virtual Headteacher for Looked After Children be approved.

I would like to fill in column 'id_B' with the exact values from 'id_A' if 'id_B' is blank.
Doing
I am thinking I should you the .apply method-
df['id_A'] = df.apply(
    lambda row: row[''].row[''] if np.isnan,
    axis=1
)

Any suggestion is appreciated. Still researching.

A: Another option is to use np.where. Simply choose from "id_A" or "id_B" depending on if df['id_B']== '' is True or False:
df['id_B'] = np.where(df['id_B']== '', df['id_A'], df['id_B'])

Output:
   index1  id stat        id_A        id_B
0       1  aa    y  aa_Q1.22_1  aa_Q1.22_1

2       1  bb    n  bb_Q3.22_3  bb_Q3.22_3
3      12  bb    n  bb_Q4.22_4  bb_Q4.22_4
4       2           cc_Q3.22_4  cc_Q3.22_4

8       2           ee_Q3.22_6  ee_Q3.22_6
9       2           ee_Q4.22_7  ee_Q4.22_7

A: Replace empty strings to missing values and then use Series.fillna:
df['id_B'] = df['id_B'].replace('',np.nan).fillna(df['id_A'])

Or use DataFrame.loc:
df.loc[df['id_B'].eq(''), 'id_B'] = df['id_A']

If empty strings are in real data missing values or None like Nonetype:
df['id_B'] = df['id_B'].fillna(df['id_A'])

Or:

Can you afford $8,000 per month for care? Chances are, you'll need it at some point. Some solutions to that pricey problem include long-term care insurance, "living benefits" and annuities.
Thanks to advancements in medical technology, Baby Boomers now entering retirement can expect to live another 20 or 30 years. Maybe longer.

Which is great. But it also requires much more planning for future financial and physical needs than most Americans are willing to do.
We all like to think we'll have the same abilities and independence at 85 that we had at 65, but that's just not reality. If you're 65 today in the United States, there's a 70% chance you're going to need some kind of long-term care during your life, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
And that care — whether it's at your home, an adult day care center, a nursing home or an assisted-living facility — is expensive. Genworth's annual Cost of Care Survey found the national median rate for a private room at a nursing home in 2016 was $7,698 per month. Staying home is cheaper, but not cheap. The survey found the median rate for an in-home aide was $3,861 per month. And those costs are increasing.
If you think Medicare will pick up the tab, think again. It will help pay for a short stay in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care or home health care under certain conditions, but that's it. Beyond that, it's going to come out of your pocket. If you can't afford to pay, another option — one that many Americans rely on — is to spend all your assets to qualify for Medicaid.
It's not a great answer, though. When you're on Medicaid, you lose a lot of choice about the type of care you're going to get. And your medical costs will chase you. If you have equity in a home, your estate will get those bills after you die.
Relying on Medicaid to cover your care will be financially devastating, especially if you have a surviving spouse, who will be left with greatly depleted resources.
So, obviously you need a plan — and you need options.
The traditional way to go is long-term care insurance. Much like term life insurance, you pay a set premium that typically goes up as you age, until it hits a specified maximum. To receive benefits, the buyer must need assistance with at least two of six "activities of daily living": bathing, dressing, continence, eating, toileting and "transferring," such as moving from a wheelchair to a bed. Like most forms of insurance, if you don't use the benefit, you lose it; the insurance company keeps your money. And long-term care insurance is both expensive (costs have spiked over the years) and difficult to find. Fewer and fewer insurers are issuing policies, and in some states, it is simply unavailable.
But the insurance industry is offering alternatives, including "living benefits" products that combine life insurance with long-term care. They allow you to accelerate your policy's benefits to get much-needed money if you suffer a terminal, chronic or critical illness. If you don't need care, the money goes to your heirs or your estate when you die via the life insurance death benefit.
A similar solution is asset-based long-term care insurance. Instead of paying premiums, you deposit a lump sum of money with the insurance company. If at some point you require care, the insurer will pay you benefits based on how much you deposited and how old you were when you purchased the policy, the earlier you start the more benefits you get for your dollar. If you ever decide you don't want the policy, you have options for getting your money back. And if you die without needing care, there is still a death benefit for your heirs.
There are also annuities with long-term care benefits.
Some work much like the asset-based life insurance policies: You put in a lump-sum deposit and you'll receive some interest on that. Then, if you need long-term care, a multiplier is applied to the cash you put in. For example, if you put in $100,000 and you need long-term care, that amount blossoms to $300,000 to put toward long term care expenses.
Another annuity option offers an income rider. You put in a certain amount of money and the company will, depending on your age and when you want to start taking distributions, guarantee a certain rate of income. But if you need long-term care, that income is doubled. So, if you had an annuity that guaranteed $40,000 annually in income, it would double to $80,000. It may not cover all your expenses, but it certainly will help.
If you didn't plan for long-term care costs and now it's too late to get coverage — you're too old, or sick or it's prohibitively expensive — talk to an elder-care attorney. He or she can help you protect as much of your estate as possible from Medicaid's requirement that you spend down your assets.
Long-term care planning is something a lot of people ignore. They think they won't get sick, or that they'll die quietly in their sleep without ever spending a day in a nursing home or needing aid. Unfortunately, the statistics say that the majority of people will need some sort of care assistance, and planning for that is important.
But it's an important part of any retirement and estate plan. And the sooner you do something about it, the more benefits you'll get for your dollars. If you wait, qualifying will become more difficult and the breadth of products will start to disappear.
If you already have a traditional long-term care insurance policy, it could be the best investment you ever made. But if you're still looking for a way to cover yourself as you age — and most Americans need help with that — these options are worth looking into with assistance from your financial professional.

SpaceX NROL Mission | Image credit: SpaceX
SpaceX was supposed to launch the last satellite of this year on Thursday with the launch of Falcon 9, but that happened to get delayed due to a pressure issue in the rocket's oxygen tank.
At the 1 minute 45 second mark of the 9:45 a.m. EST launch, SpaceX stopped the countdown, and released a statement regarding the delay which says,
"During the countdown, the pressure was slightly high in the upper stage of the liquid oxygen tank, which caused the abort."
However, both the Falcon 9 rocket and the NROL-108 satellite are still in good health and working fine.
SpaceX also posted the following subsequent tweet, "Standing down from today's launch attempt of NROL-108 to take a closer look at the data; Falcon 9 and NROL-108 remain healthy. Teams are working toward a backup launch opportunity of tomorrow with a three-hour window opening at 9:00 a.m. EST."
Standing down from today's launch attempt of NROL-108 to take a closer look at the data; Falcon 9 and NROL-108 remain healthy. Teams are working toward a backup launch opportunity of tomorrow with a three-hour window opening at 9:00 a.m. EST
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) December 17, 2020
Now as per the tweet, the Falcon 9 was supposed to lift-off on Friday 18th December at 9 a.m. EST, but again to make sure that everything works in perfect harmony, that too has been moved to Saturday, December 19.
SpaceX mentions that this measure has been taken to "allow additional time for checkouts." SpaceX is now targeting December 19 for the launch of the NROL-18 mission from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida; the time window apparently closes at 12 p.m. EST. Falcon 9 carried out SpaceX's 19th and 20th cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station, a Starlink mission, and the SAOCOM 1B mission.
After the stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first stage on Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. As is the case with any other SpaceX mission, this one too will be broadcasted live, and the session will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

by Filmfare | December 8, 2019, 6:53 PM IST
Laal Singh Chaddha is Aamir Khan's upcoming project and the official remake of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump. The original dealt with a young boy with marginal intelligence and a physical disability influencing several important events across decades in American history. Laal Singh Chaddha too is based around a boy with similar disabilities, who takes us through the events of Indian history. Also starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, who plays Laal's love interest, the film is currently underway its Chandigarh schedule.
We have already seen Aamir's first look wearing a turban and sitting in a train. But the latest pictures will instantly take you back to Tom Hanks look from Forrest Gump. The look is strikingly similar to Hank's look from his three-year- cross country run in the original film and makes you wonder about the plot of the remake.
Take a look at the picture below and comment what you think of Aamir's transformation.
