Finance Minister Margaret Mwanakatwe has explained that sending over 1,000 youths to the Gulf region to work as maids, drivers, waiters and waitresses is part of the PF government’s job creation strategy.
Speaking on Sunday during a PF interactive Forum at Chrismar Hotel, Mrs. Mwanakatwe who is also Chairperson for Commerce in the Central Committee of the Patriotic Front said the PF promised jobs for Zambian youths and is now delivering.
“When we say PF is creating employment this is what we mean,” Mrs Mwanakatwe said.
She announced that Government has secured 1,000 jobs per year in the gulf region, for waiters, waitresses, drivers and maids.
Mrs. Mwanakatwe said the PF government has collaborated with the Gulf region to send 1,000 Zambians per year to Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates to work as waiters, waitresses, drivers and maids.
She stated that the PF promised the Zambian people jobs as outlined in its manifesto and that an opportunity had arisen for many ordinary Zambians to travel abroad for work in an honest and safe manner.
The Finance Minister stated that men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 and who are able to speak and write in English with a genuine grade 12 certificate, a valid passport and a driver’s licence in the case of drivers, are encouraged to apply.
She further stated that the salary plus commission they would be getting as drivers and maids ranges between K10,000 and K15,000.
Mrs. Mwanakatwe urged all well-meaning citizens who are in need of a job and meet the set criteria to apply so that they can go and make an honest living which will enable them help their families back home in Zambia. | 2019-04-26T02:38:53Z | https://www.zambianobserver.com/sending-maids-waitresses-and-drivers-to-the-gulf-region-is-part-of-pf-job-creation-strategy-mwanakatwe/ |

Confession: I don’t read much middle-grade. I was one of those kids who jumped straight from classics like Little Women and the Narnia books, into the realm of YA. However, as an adult, I have read a little more middle-grade, and some of them are real gems.
Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard by Jonathan Auxier is the type of middle-grade novel that makes me wish for a time machine to give the book to my younger self. The characters are so dynamic, and the writing is so lush and vivid, that I read the whole book in one sitting. I, admittedly, didn’t read the first book in this series before, but had no problem catching up. Sophie is brave and bold, and the quest to find the books “Where, What, and When” made me smile long after I closed the book. If you have any young readers in your life, buy this today!
Official blurb: It’s been two years since Peter Nimble and Sir Tode rescued the kingdom of HazelPort. In that time, they have traveled far in wide in search of adventure. Now Peter and Sir Tode have been summoned by Professor Cake for a new mission: find a 12-year-old bookmender named Sophie Quire.
Sophie knows little beyond the four walls of her father’s bookshop, where she repairs old books and dreams of escaping the confines of her dull life. But when a strange boy and his talking cat/horse companion show up with a rare and mysterious book, she finds herself pulled into an adventure beyond anything she has ever read. | 2019-04-19T02:35:40Z | https://creativelycarrie.com/2016/04/09/book-review-sophie-quire-and-the-last-storyguard/?share=google-plus-1 |

Effective characterisation is not achieved by describing visual features alone (‘He had a light blue top with a faded, frayed collar’) but rather by balancing this kind of descriptive writing with action, motive and a trait, or traits. As motive and actions (and therefore, to some degree, plot) evolve from the characters/s’ temperament/s, emphasising this aspect of characterisation in our teaching leads to more ‘rounded’ characters in pupils’ stories.
The author begins with sad, happy, angry and shy , all of which are easy to render dramatically. Pupils are then invited to dramatise, or suggest, other character traits. If the pupils are reluctant to dramatise further traits the teacher may wish to continue with some of the following : lazy, cruel, greedy, jealous, confident, talkative, helpful, argumentative, cunning etc.
After a list of traits has been generated it is usually possible to reinforce previous work on synonyms by grouping some of the words on a basis of similarity e.g.
sad, unhappy, cheerless, miserable etc.
This activity also provides an opportunity to discuss / use a Thesaurus in a meaningful context.
One of the traits is then chosen and the teacher explains that a game of ‘Show not Tell’ is going to take place. A sentence, which includes the chosen trait, is then written for all to see e.g.
He / She was sad.
The teacher explains (whilst writing ‘TELL’ before the sentence) that this is ‘telling’ the reader about the character. It is then explained that it is better to ‘show’ the reader what kind of character is developing by describing things that such a character would do ! The word ‘SHOW’ is then written under the sentence already on the board and the teacher asks the following question.
The sentence starter ‘He—‘ is then written after the word ‘SHOW’ and the pupils are invited to suggest ways of continuing the sentence which demonstrate what a sad person would do e.g.
Teacher : What did he do ?
Pupil : He wept ?
Teacher : How did he weep ?
Teacher : Can you give me a word that will ‘go’ after wept which will describe how he wept ?
The complexity of the questioning is determined by both prior and future learning.
When the process has been completed the pupils are asked to compare the two approaches ‘Show’ and ‘Tell’ and to describe which works best. As there is clearly no competition the pupils are then asked to work collaboratively (pairs – fours) on a further trait selected from the list. Dead-lining functions as a useful motivator (‘You now have ten minutes to complete the ‘Show not tell’ challenge !) as does explaining that they will be required to read their piece to the rest of the class who will be invited to guess which trait they have chosen.
The activity can be differentiated so that ‘more able’ pupils develop more complex multi – faceted characters. To achieve this, two methods can be applied.
1. The pupils are asked to choose two (or three traits) to be combined in their character description so that the final piece of writing evokes a character who is both shy and sad ; both happy and talkative ; both cheerless and lazy etc. The teacher can then discuss how events in a story can alter the character trait of their protagonist or antagonist e.g. A happy character is involved in a plane crash which traumatises him /her. After the event he / she is both sad and shy.
Clearly this approach can only be taken after the teacher is sure that the pupil has understood the ‘Show not Tell’ process using a single character trait.
2. The second method of eliciting more complex characterisation is to consider trait development. This is best achieved through modelling but essentially the story begins with the character exhibiting infrequent aspects of their trait. As the story develops so does the trait so that, for example, a character who, at the beginning of the story is mildly annoyed becomes, by the end of the story,very angry. Incidents which occur throughout the narrative will influence the the development of the specific trait.The interrelationship between plot and character development makes this quite complicated at Key Stage 2. It is , however, achievable with more able Y4 – 6 pupils. An interim stage, which the author uses, is to focus (after single trait writing) on analysis of characters in books which the pupils are reading. The undoubted benefit of this is that the link between reading and writing is made explicit. A grid like the one below can be used by pupils to consider how authors create multi – faceted characters.
The column of traits on the left should be altered by the teacher so that it relates specifically to the book being read. It should be noted that some characters in published books are, sadly, uni – dimensional ; for this reason books should be pre – selected by the teacher.
A further aspect of characterisation which can be developed through direct teaching is interaction. This can easily be linked to trait development so that a shy person, for example, talks infrequently to others ; speaks in short sentences ; never instigates conversations etc. The same approach works with other traits and explicit discussion (and modelling) of this should help pupils to integrate the process into their own story writing.
In conclusion, effective characterisation is achieved by focusing on much more than what a person is wearing. The busy teacher needs practical strategies to raise the standard of pupils’ writing. It has been the aim of this article to provide a range of new, practical, ideas which will assist in developing the ability of pupils to evoke believable characters in their narrative writing. | 2019-04-19T18:27:52Z | https://alanpeat.com/free-resource-effective-characterisation/ |

Via a partnership with Health Brand Group, Kate worked with University of California, San Francisco and their enrollment management partners to develop a powerful new story for UCSF's Master of Science in Healthcare Administration and Interprofessional Leadership (MS HAIL).
With just one graduating class since its launch, the MS HAIL program had proven to itself and its new alumni that this powerful graduate program is unlike any other garden-variety healthcare administration degree in the nation. The challenge? To prove it to the marketplace.
Attracting future cohorts of rising and recognized stars in the healthcare industry would require truly understanding how to tell the MS HAIL story. And strategic brand storytelling is what Silver Tree Communications does best.
Across the span of several months, Kate led a high-touch research initiative through which students, alumni, staff and administrators shared their own personal stories about the MS HAIL program -- about who chooses this elite graduate program, how it impacts careers, and what the experience is truly like. At the conclusion of that research, Kate brought their collective stories to life by crafting one dynamic and truly differentiated story about the program. That story is driving marketing and admissions initiatives at UCSF and is currently being adapted to a redesigned admissions website for the MS HAIL program.
UC San Francisco is the country's leading university dedicated exclusively to health, and is recognized nationally and internationally for its excellence in education and clinical care. All four UCSF professional schools, UCSF Medical Center, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and virtually all UCSF graduate programs consistently rank among the best in the country, according to the latest surveys by US News & World Report. But even at the best universities in the world, launching a new graduate program and communicating its value to the healthcare professionals that will someday enroll is serious business and a challenging endeavor. Armed now with a very clear sense of what makes the MS HAIL program so impactful, and how to talk about that impact to the world, UCSF is poised for increased enrollments and improved marketing ROI. | 2019-04-24T12:51:11Z | http://www.silvertreecommunications.com/portfolio-view/university-california-san-francisco/ |
A simple blog is a good start to go, then I find out that nodejs on Github and other node-based web frameworks: express, locomotive, railway, etc... problem is they have too many forks.
Is that meteor and derby are forks of nodejs?
Should I choose meteor, derby or locomotive, railway or just simply start with express from the scratch to make my own MVC setup?
Why do people use Redis for sessions along with Mongodb (or CouchDB)? Why dont we just use Mongodb for sessions and main data?
I liked starting with Express because it gives you basic tools and you can build a project structure that works for you.
Redis is super fast but there also is session middleware for mongodb and couchdb.

I’m going to stick with my “July on the fly” theme and talk about an often overlooked aspect of fly fishing, and that is tippet and leader selection. One of the most common mistakes I see is anglers under-sizing on their tippets and leaders.
Naturally, we are predisposed to think that smaller is better. A 7X tippet is smaller than 5X, so it automatically offers stealth advantages, and thereby increases your odds of hooking fish. Right?
I have spent many hours under the water in scuba gear watching trout and other fish eat, and the one common factor is that tippet or leader size seems to matter less than almost anything else when it comes to presenting a fly or a lure. And sometimes leaning on smaller monofilaments and fluorocarbons will hurt your cause more than they help it.
Here’s why: In a fly fishing situation, the very most important factor is presentation, in other words, making a fly behave exactly like a natural insect in the instance immediately after it hits the water. In the case of many mayflies, that means drifting entirely at the mercy of the current, with no drag, and no wake that will spook fish.
I see too many anglers get refused by trout, and immediately switch to a smaller tippet, when, in fact, the real problem was that they were dragging the fly. It is better to aspire to make a perfect drag-free drift with 4X tippet than to use 7X tippet as a crutch. You’ll catch more fish with 4X and a greater drift than you ever will with 7X and a poor drift. Most of the serious angler friends and the guides I know seldom fish anything lighter than 5X tippet, ever.
Of course, there are other advantages to sticking with larger tippets and leaders. A larger leader will turn over in windy conditions. Perhaps most importantly, larger tippets and leaders allow you to land fish faster, and break fewer off. If you are a catch-and-release angler, it’s best to land your fish and let them go before you fight them to the point of exhaustion. And nobody wants monofilament or fluorocarbon strands left behind in the lake or river (especially not hanging out of a fish’s mouth).
Trust me on this one. If you aspire to fish larger, thicker leaders and tippets, you will improve your presentation game, and thereby hook more fish. And because you’re fishing with stronger materials, you’ll land more of them also. | 2019-04-24T10:22:51Z | https://takemefishing.org/blog/july-2012/some-thoughts-on-leaders-and-tippets%E2%80%A6/?feed=posts |

The emergence of cyclo-cross stars Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel and the collective might of Deceuninck-QuickStep are the storylines that dominate in the build-up to the Tour of Flanders, leaving Peter Sagan in an unusual position ahead of the Ronde: out of the direct glare of the spotlight.
One senses that the three-time world champion will not be altogether upset at ceding column inches to some new names this week. Being Peter Sagan – the brand as well as the bike rider – is a heavy burden, after all, and anything that lightens the load, even temporarily, can only be welcomed.
For the second successive year, Sagan has elected to stay in Belgium for the week leading up to the Ronde rather than return to his Monaco base. As in 2018, he opted not to line out at Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday, preferring to put the finishing touches to his preparation for the Ronde by training with teammate Daniel Oss. Fellow contenders Greg Van Avermaet, Zdenek Stybar and Van Aert are following a similar tack.
"It's the same model he followed last year, he's doing all the exercises he needs for his body to recover, and then the right training to get ready for Sunday," Bora-Hansgrohe directeur sportif Jan Valach told Cyclingnews. "It's the second year that he's done this. It depended a little on the weather, we kept an eye on it, and the weather is quite good this week, so he's staying up here and preparing calmly for the weekend."
Sagan's pre-Flanders regimen has again included physiotherapy sessions in Nieuwpoort, in Freddy Maertens country on the North Sea coast, to recover from the rigours of Gent-Wevelgem, ahead of a reconnaissance of the cobbles and hills of the Ronde later in the week. "The races were tough last weekend, but usually he recuperates quickly," said Valach.
In his three years as world champion, Sagan belied the curse of the rainbow jersey by bagging Classic wins ahead of the Ronde – Gent-Wevelgem in 2016 and 2018, Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne in 2017 – but his first year out of tunic has begun a little less effervescently, a stage win at the Tour Down Under notwithstanding.
Sagan complained of illness ahead of Tirreno-Adriatico, where he appeared more flat-footed than normal in the sprints, while he still looked a little short of his usual sharpness in placing 4th at Milan-San Remo. His challenge at the E3 BinckBank Classic was ruined by a broken derailleur, though Sagan then spent the bulk of Gent-Wevelgem off the front after being part of the elite echelon that broke clear early on. He was one of five survivors who were caught only once they turned into a headwind on the run-in to Wevelgem.
"E3 is the first race he does on the cobbles, you know, and he needs that to warm up because it’s always hard here in Belgium, although he was riding a very good race up until he had that problem with his gears," Valach said, adding that Sagan's display at Gent-Wevelgem warranted a greater reward than his eventual 32nd place. "Unfortunately, the strong wind that split the race became a headwind in the last part, and there were only four of them left up front, so it was impossible to stay away."
While Sagan's final countdown to the Tour of Flanders precisely mirrors last year's, his approach to the entire spring is markedly different. Although he took his usual hiatus from racing to train at altitude in February, he delayed his return to action until Tirreno-Adriatico. Eschewing Opening Weekend and Strade Bianche, Valach explains, was a deliberate choice given that Sagan’s Classics campaign will this year extend all the way to Liège-Bastogne-Liège on the final weekend in April.
"We decided to try this model this year, and like you can see his whole season has been pushed back a little bit," Valach said. "Normally he did Strade Bianche before Tirreno, and as recently as two years ago, he did Kuurne, so everything has been put back a little bit so we can stay here until the Ardennes. It’s one year, and we’ll see what happens."
The plan, then, is for Sagan to be in the mix for victory on any given Sunday in April, starting with the Ronde this weekend. He continues with the defence of his Paris-Roubaix crown next week, before tackling Amstel Gold Race and then making a debut appearance at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, enticed by the new, flatter finale in the city-centre.
Marc Madiot, a staunch admirer of Sagan, told L’Équipe in 2016 that his status was such that he had "the enormous freedom of not being obliged to win in order to exist." Even so, victories are the currency of professional cyclists, but Valach gently dismissed that idea that Sagan’s morale has suffered as a result of going two and a half months without a win. "No, he's calm. He's following his own path and he's ready for what's coming up," he said.
Valach is better-placed than most to assess the current state of the 2016 Ronde winner's form. While still a professional rider, he lobbied the Slovakian federation to support Sagan, who was then an ambitious junior, and he was behind the wheel of the Slovakian team car for each of his Worlds triumphs.
"Crescendo, in one word," Valach smiled. "He's improving. Like last year, he's getting better and better with each race, and by the Ardennes he was really very strong. We're expecting something similar this year." | 2019-04-24T22:31:57Z | http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/peter-sagan-follows-his-own-path-to-the-tour-of-flanders/ |
While referring to a template for a welcome Address is the easiest approach to draft such a language, it’s a good idea to bear in mind some handy suggestions that can help you. Make sure you time your address well, and eliminate any excess details that you have included in the speech. Proceed until you turn into through the full address without stumbling. Proceed until you turn into through the complete speech. Recognizing speech is a challenging matter. Composing an informative language is very straightforward provided you keep certain standard guidance in mind. Given below are a couple of suggestions which will make it possible for you to write an excellent informative speech.
Presumably you Believe that your address Is Vital, Tell your audience why they ought to believe so too. Therefore, when you give your farewell address, don’t forget to dedicate a small bit of everything in your speech and make it the most best farewell anyone has received. After composing a speech, it’s necessary to practice the specific same. As an example, if your address is addressing a historical subject, utilize a chronological strategy. What to say on your very best man speech is completely your decision and is greatly determined by the form of connection you discuss with the groom.
You don’t Have to Be a fantastic orator to Provide an excellent speech, however, you should put in some effort to provide an effective speech. In this kind of situation it is critical that you narrate anecdotes about the individual which are not very widely known. Opening remarks are extremely crucial as they set the tone for the rest of the portion of the speech. Then pick the point which is going to be the conclusive comment of your own speech. An introductory letter to parents from a new teacher at the start of the academic year is very important to develop a rapport with the parents to the rest of the portion of the year. If you are a student, or anyone else who’s going to do plenty of writing, then you ought to provide yourself using the most suitable technology, especially now, when it is virtually costless to attain that.
It’s possible for you to have a look at the Below example which highlights using humor whilst concluding a speech. Remembering these items will be useful in fostering your oratory skills. Once you are decided on the prime thought you would like to push , you can begin the practice of writing the language. If you’re browsing for suggestions to prepare yourself for a language you have to give then, below are a few pointers that will help you in producing an outline for your speech. Ideas alter the Earth, especially when they are written. So if you are attempting to find a startup concept, I wouldn’t advise trying to construct your own speech recognition program to compete with Google.
Read what all You Need to read to be Familiar with core topic of speech. Questions such as, how can you be sure you decide on the most acceptable subject, how do you draft this type of speech, how do you be sure that you receive an ideal introduction, and how do you ensure you have the eye of the audience, abound on your own head. You will probably have to tweak lots of the query suggestions I offered, or a range of those phrases I recommended. 1 issue that worries a whole lot of speakers would be the way to promote yourself and your organization during your speech.
Social event every two days. Conclusion The private development program is very important in allowing the monitoring of developmental changes that are essential for the achievement of set goals. Introduction A personal development program is among the most efficient instruments for professionals and students who wish to achieve excellence in their respective fields.
Consider another example, highlighting why You have to attend your very own personal growth if you wish to modify the world. To expand your narrative, there is a balance. On the contrary, it is a mix of the preparation that you set to a language and the understanding of exactly what constitutes effective communication that will set your anxieties in the back seat. Examples may change based upon the person who is being released in the sample. Hope the examples offered by this Buzzle article can allow you to get ready for your very best person speech.

When you’re researching a business or choosing a product, what guides your decision? Are you put off by one-star reviews, negative news and dated or irrelevant social media accounts? Of course you are. And so is everyone else.
Google controls nearly three-quarters of all the search traffic in the world. And it’s the first page of your search that garners the most attention. If there’s negative online content about the company, person, product or entity then people simply go elsewhere.
That’s why a successful reputation online and off must be planned for and cultivated. While I always recommend engaging an expert to plan and look after your online reputation, there are steps you can take to ensure you don’t get trapped by negative content.
You have to take control of your persona online. Here are 12 dos and don’ts to get you there.
An online reputation management strategy is key. Whether you work with an online management expert or create your own, start with collating your online content. Find out what people are saying about you by searching specific terms. These include your own name, your business name and any surrounding branding you have. Armed with this information, create and initiate a strategy to manage your online reputation. A good reputation strategy will include both short and long-term goals, KPIs and activities. Start with what a positive online presence looks like for your business. Lay it out in the same way as you would a marketing strategy so that you have clear milestones and actions.
Set up Google Alerts and other tools to monitor your name, your services, your business name and any related services online. Effective tools include Social Mention, Chartmeter and Trackur, which all give you instant updates when people mention you online. You need to know about any online content concerning you or your business. If it’s good news, you can then capitalise on it and spread the word through your own PR. And if it’s negative you can immediately begin to deal with it before it spirals out of control. It’s a good idea to also monitor your main competitors to enhance both your online reputation and marketing strategy.
Consider how you can create links to bump you up to the top of the first page of a Google search and activate it. This could include rewriting and optimising your website copy, creating high-quality blog content, polishing and optimising social media profiles, creating a social media content plan, ensuring you have high-quality press releases being picked up by the media, and much more. Every single piece of online content, no matter whether it’s PR, a blog or review management, should be created to rank for your specific search terms.
By establishing your name and brand as an authority within your sector, you will create trust, build people’s confidence in your authority and reach a wider audience. This leads to more sales and more positive reviews, content and shared opinions. Use your web content, blog content and social media. Write high-quality articles for your own blog, and for other sites such as Medium and LinkedIn. This will begin to link your name with expert opinion and worthwhile content. Be authoritative but always careful to strike the right tone. Never talk down to your audience. Instead, share high quality, useful and interesting information, opinions and commentary. Ask their opinion and interact with your customers, clients and readers. Real, organic conversations go much further than simply placing adverts or selling in your content.
If you find negative content about you, whether it’s videos, content or images, don’t jump the gun. Your natural reaction will be to defend yourself but reacting with emotion can make things a lot worse. Instead, if you’re not sure what to do, contact an online reputation expert before you do anything.
People want to trust businesses and people they buy from. When you create your strategy, always underpin everything with striving for authenticity, honesty and openness. Think about what you want your personal brand to look like and create a consistent message. Honesty, transparency and openness will build the strongest possible connection with customers. People are happy to use companies that address any problems out in the open, without denial or aggression. How you react publicly online to any problem, personal attack or negative customer review must be consistent, non-defensive, non-antagonistic, professional, calm and fair.
If you get a complaint, resolve it quickly, honestly and openly. This will negate the potential for it to turn into a damaging online review. More than 90% of people say that online reviews directly affect their buying choices, and almost as many always check reviews before buying anything or using a service. That’s how important your online reviews are, so manage all problems as they arise to engender customer trust and positivity.
If you respond to criticism or negative reviews with a highly defensive, pubic rebuttal this will come back to haunt you. Remember that negative reviews roll in for everyone at some point. Even the Eiffel Tower isn’t immune, with a TripAdvisor review saying: “… and then what, you see the city from high up. Big deal.” The point is, negative opinions are subjective, and if someone leaves you a bad review, they genuinely feel they’re in the right. Any public response from you will be analysed not only by the reviewer, but other customers. If you show publicly that you acknowledge and accept the criticism, and that you are working to resolve the issue, this will boost your cred with customers. Don’t devolve into a long, two-way debate with the reviewer. Take it offline as soon as possible.
Selling too hard and too often will naturally turn people off. This means avoiding the temptation to pepper your online comments, blogs and social media content with ‘sell, sell, sell’ content. Avoid being seen as pushy and be willing to interact with people outside of selling.
This is particularly relevant if you’re senior management, a business owner or CEO. Separate your business channels from your personal channels. Without exception. And think carefully about your intended audience before you post anything. It’s a good idea to keep away from political debate and any contentious issues on your business channels. But make sure they reflect your personality too. You don’t want a dry, boring tone of voice, but a balanced, nuanced persona.
Your reputation management strategy should, of course, tackle negative comments or reviews. But it’s important to be balanced. The good stuff about your business will absolutely outweigh the bad, and this should be utilised as part of your strategy.
Managing your reputation is a long-term investment. Don’t make the mistake of ditching your strategy if you don’t see immediate returns. Your reputation management strategy should run alongside your marketing strategy and be part of your overall business plan. It is not a short-term fix. It’s about building, sustaining and constantly improving your reputation. | 2019-04-18T18:58:34Z | http://www.reputations.org.uk/blog/12-dos-and-donts-for-a-successful-reputation/ |
HEBREWS 8:6 KJV "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant,..."
3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministerie, by how much also he is the Mediatour of a better Couenant, which was established vpon better promises.
But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.
But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.
But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, based upon sublimer promises.
But now he hath getun a betere mynysterie, bi so myche as he is a mediatour of a betere testament, which is confermyd with betere biheestis.
8:6 And now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry - His priesthood as much excels theirs, as the promises of the gospel (whereof he is a surety) excels those of the law. These better promises are specified, #Heb 8:10|,11: those in the law were mostly temporal promises.
Heb 8:6 Now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry. More excellent than that of the Levitical priesthood. He serves in the heavenly sanctuary. He is the meditator. The high priest was a mediator, interceding with God for the people. Christ is the mediator of a better covenant with its more glorious promises; viz., the Gospel. | 2019-04-23T20:06:07Z | https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Hebrews-8-6/ |

Not a denotatively accurate heading but whatever - it's what I'm calling it, lol.
If a fifth of current Americans can't locate the country on a world map, that doesn't bode well for the idea of democracy.
Some of that is a reflection of how many Third Worlders have poured in.
Nothin' like NY Gang-sta' Blowhards; sadly the boys in the Tristate area don't grow out of it readily either, lol.
I don't see how that plausible in the 1st place, however if it is, U can be sure that we are not getting the 'best and brightest' here. The Emma Lazarus quote on the Statue of Liberty does not state US policy; never did. Legal immigrants, like my family, shouldn't really be let in unless they are filling a specific job roll or skill set in which the US citizenry isn't as adept, qualified or motivated enough to do. Those let in for humanitarian purposes should be selectively chosen, to say the least! % age wise we are largely getting women, children & babies that go directly onto entitlements, even if the man or men of the family unit go to work the moment they step foot here.
Perhaps U don't actually know what a 'valley girl' voice sounds like... Could that be?
Usually, during our meaningful encounters, they are facing away from me and I am not memorizing their dialects.
Get w/ the program 'kazenatsu', lol. | 2019-04-23T10:28:18Z | http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/linguistic-pantomimes.550636/ |
Innovation always starts with inspiration. Serial entrepreneur and self-described healthcare rebel Hugh Lytle had the dream of creating health service innovations that have a strong social mission and bring systemic change to the U.S. healthcare system.
In 2015 he founded Equality Health, an Arizona-based integrated delivery system focused on improving care delivery for underserved populations that have long struggled with integrating into the traditional one-size-fits-all U.S. healthcare model. The goal? Ensure people receive high-quality healthcare that improves and enhances their lives – regardless of race, ethnicity, or income.
To ensure diverse populations receive quality healthcare that improves and enriches their lives.
A world where everyone has equal access to quality healthcare and achieves optimum health.
We believe that all people share a common humanity and therefore have a right to equitable treatment, support for their human rights, and a fair allocation of community resources.
We believe that people of all races, ethnicities, income levels and social status should have equal access to high-quality healthcare that encompasses physical, behavioral, and social well-being in their local communities.
We believe that a person’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about healthcare stem from their cultural values, social norms, and where they live.
We believe that we must automate community-based care in order to optimize care collaboration and focus on developing communities, not just knocking on their doors.
With an integrated technology and services platform, culturally competent provider network and unique cultural care model, Equality Health helps managed care plans and health systems improve care for those left behind – initially focusing on the Hispanic-Latino community – and transition to value-based care.
Today, the Equality Health model is being deployed by 2,000 healthcare providers that serve more than 175,000 lives under contract with multiple managed care plans. | 2019-04-22T08:50:31Z | https://www.equalityhealth.com/our-story/ |
FGM can leave women and girls with many negative health consequences. These can include; infection, bleeding, reduced sensation, increased risk during childbirth, psychological trauma and death. In groups where FGM prevalence is high, certain consequences that are common may be considered ‘normal’ and not associated with the practice.

Physical chemical properties of oil emulsions of two different oilfields of Kazakhstan - NorthWest Konys and Zhanaozen by their densities related to light and heavy oils, respectively, were studied. Qualitative and quantitative compositions of main stabilizing components of oil emulsions (resins, asphaltenes and high molecular paraffins) were determined. The dispersion degree of oil emulsions was determined using optical microscopy. It was found that samples relate to fine dispersed oil emulsions by dispersion, and to poorly stable (Konys) and highly stable (Zhanaozen) oil emulsions by ability to form emulsions. Light oil of Konys oilfield (ρ = 833 kg/m3 at 20°C) contains 11.5% of paraffins, 0.69% resins, 0.19% asphaltenes. The same measurements were carried out for heavy oil of Zhanaozen (943 kg/m3 at 20°C) where paraffin content exceeded 30%, amount of resins was 1.5% and asphaltenes – 0.6%. The sample of Zhanaozen oilfield contains 33% of water, 154.8 mg/L chlorides, 5.22 % mechanical impurities, and for oilfield samples of North-West Konys the water content was 7.5%, the content of chloride salts – 18 mg/L, and 0.002% of mechanical impurities.

ievo micro™ is an internal only optical fingerprint scanner which boast many added benefits compared to similar optical biometric products on the market.
Enhanced scanning performance... ievo micro™’s optical fingerprint reader delivers highly enhanced features for a solely internal reader, including working with low levels of cream or powder on the skin as well as with some types of latex gloves. Compared to standard optical scanning fingerprint readers, the ievo micro™ is more reliable offering a cost effective biometric product.
Aesthetic internal design... The ievo® team designed the micro™ reader with the end user in mind. The ergonomics of any biometric reader is paramount. With simple visual and audio automated alerts to inform the user if access has been granted or denied, it is DDA compliant and is incredibly easy to use.
Mullion or surface mountable... Aside from the conventional surface mount option, micro™ can be mullion mounted which allows the reader to be installed between the casements or panes of a window, door frame or any other awkward place within your chosen installation area. This means micro™ will not look obtrusive, maintaining the aesthetics of your surroundings.
Reader holds no data... Most competitor biometric access control products have built in controller/relays, meaning if the reader is removed from the installation space then access to the door will be granted. This is not how a security product should work. Therefore, the micro™ reader contains no controllers or relays instead they are installed up to 5 metres away on the secured side of the door. | 2019-04-25T14:58:47Z | https://www.touchstar-atc.com/access-control/reading-devices/ievo-micro-biometric |
It is a peculiarity of Evgeny Morozov, the foremost critic of our Twitterific age, that he could write 4,000 words in the New Yorker disemboweling the "Maker" movement without giving any indication whatsoever that he had ever talked to a single Maker or even so much as attended a Maker Faire.
It's peculiar, but not surprising. This is Morozov's self-admitted shtick. He grapples with the arguments that people make about things, instead of the people or the things themselves.
For a hands-on, do-it-yourself phenomenon like the Maker movement, the Morozov approach has some obvious drawbacks. It is one thing to claim, as Morozov does, that the Makers, like their forebears in the Arts and Crafts movement in the 19th century, will be "doomed" by their "reluctance to talk about institutions and political change" into "channelling the spirit of labor reform into consumerism and D.I.Y. tinkering." Morozov might well be right in this. The Makers may not unleash the "revolution" that so many Maker evangelists claim is inevitable. And where there is hype, there is a myriad of opportunities for a man bearing a sharp lampoon.
But by confining himself to attacking the overweening Maker rhetoric, Morozov misses the fun. And by missing the fun, he misses the point.
I went to a Maker Faire last year and delighted in rubbing elbows with an excited crowd -- diverse in age, class, race and gender -- that exulted in getting its hands dirty with everything from 3-D printers to Lego sets to knitting needles to giant Tesla coils. I did not need to parse the political implications of this happy hubbub for its implications for the future of the working class to understand that there was something obviously healthy about the energy bubbling over at the Faire. Compared to your typical amusement park the gathering was an anarchic, collectively engineered, upwelling of nerdy positivity. You didn't come to the Faire to be entertained. You came to entertain yourself. You came to learn and teach and play.
Is a third industrial revolution in the offing? I don't know. But what is indisputable is that the tools of production are cheaper to obtain and easier to use than ever before -- and that development must have some sort of significance.
Morozov does not directly deny that the means of production have been made more affordable. But he elides this absolutely crucial point by saying that the difficulties of gaining access to capital or expensive tools have been replaced by the difficulty of getting the attention necessary to make your Kickstarter dreams come true.
It is deeply befuddling to me that someone as smart as Morozov does not see that getting attention is a far, far easier thing to do in the age of digital networks than gaining access to capital or global production-and-supply networks. (And relatedly, the amount you need to raise today to get your idea out of your head and into production is much less than in our pre-3-D printing days.) Sure, some people are better than others at amassing followers and launching viral memes, but that does not mean that opportunity hasn't been democratized at all.
A Maker Faire is exciting because you see all these neat things happening and you realize that you too can join the party. The Maker movement is an evolutionary response to the possibilities opened up by, yes, "the Internet," and it is clearly a different beast from what came before.
Does it threaten the current political and capitalist hegemony? No. Will pieces of it be co-opted by the owners of capital? Absolutely!
But neither of these facts mean that we should abandon all hope of figuring out how to nourish the truly liberating aspects of this movement. Breaking the link between ownership of capital and opportunity is a task of incalculable importance. We should be cheering it on, not mocking it. | 2019-04-20T02:30:50Z | https://www.salon.com/2014/01/07/meet_the_anti_maker_evgeny_morozov/ |
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – A Philippine terrorism expert has identified backdoors in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah and Manado in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province used by foreign militants to enter the southern Philippines to join Islamic State-affiliated groups.
“Others were able to reach Mindanao after using a backdoor, mainly in Sabah and Manado,” he told The Defense Post.
Banlaoi, who is also President of the Philippine Center for Intelligence and National Security Studies, said the Armed Forces of the Philippines had provided him with information on two routes, but his research based on interviews and interpretations of intelligence reports on the movements of foreign fighters found four additional routes.
The AFP did not respond to a request for comment.
One Indonesian route begins in Manado and transits somewhere in the Sangihe islands within Indonesian territory northeast of Sulawesi before heading to General Santos city, the Philippines’ southernmost city. Banlaoi said the AFP had acknowledged this route.
But according to Banlaoi, some militants take a second Indonesian route that also begins in Manado and has a stopover somewhere in the Talaud islands, an Indonesian territory to the east of the Sangihe islands, before proceeding to the Davao region in the southern Philippines. From General Santos or Davao militants traveled overland to Marawi.
From Malaysia, would-be fighters can choose one of three separate courses from Sandakan district in eastern Sabah.
Two separate routes, one north via Mapun and the other east via the Tawi Tawi island area then converge on Zamboanga. From there, militants either travel overland or by boat across the Moro Gulf towards the Cotabato area, south of Marawi.
The third route heads north towards Palawan, an island in Philippine territory, before heading towards Negros Island and then south to Mindanao.
Only one of the three, via the Tawi Tawi Island area, has been acknowledged by the AFP, Banlaoi said.
According to Banlaoi, militants can travel to Sandakan from the west coast of Sabah and from Tawau, another eastern Sabah district, before taking any one of the three sea routes to the southern Philippines.
Banlaoi first presented this information during a September security symposium in Kuala Lumpur. Despite the wide media coverage of the symposium, Banlaoi’s briefing on the routes taken by the Marawi foreign fighters has received little attention.
An Indonesian terrorism researcher from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University said Manado is the Indonesians’ preferred launch pad because it is close to both Poso in Central Sulawesi and the southern Philippines.
“It’s become the hub for terrorist networks in Poso to go to Mindanao,” Chaula Rininta Anindya, a research analyst at the university’s Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, told The Defense Post.
Chaula said Manado currently serves as a strategic hub for pro-ISIS networks in Indonesia.
“Manado may be the main transiting point. In November 2017, the authorities arrested Abu Musad, who is originally from Banten, in Manado for his alleged intention to join ISIS-affiliated group in Southern Philippines. He had been in contact with pro-ISIS sympathizers in the Philippines.
ISIS claimed the January 2016 bombings near the Sarinah shopping center in Jakarta in which eight people including the attackers were killed.
Scores of militants and would-be fighters from Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia were arrested before the fall of ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria and Iraq.
Pawel Wójcik, a terrorism analyst who focuses on Afghanistan and South East Asia, cast doubt over some of the routes.
“Sabah has been the place with most of foreign fighters coming through, and now we see them on Sulu and Basilan,” he said.
Wójcik said that ISEA established a cell that was supposed to smuggle foreign fighters through Sabah to the southern islands of the Philippines. He noted that the sea route from Sabah to Tawi Tawi is difficult to protect and that the Philippine ISEA affiliates exploit that.
Wójcik also cast doubt over the number of foreign fighters now making the full journey to the Marawi area.
“I don’t believe that many people made it to the area after the battle finished in October 2017,” he said.
“This zone is still a heavily contested battleground, hard to reach even for experienced smugglers,” he said, adding that foreign fighters have likely stopped attempting to reach Mindanao in favor or Jolo, Sulu and Basilan islands, where it’s easier to reach ISEA affiliates.
Regional security expert Associate Professor Lai Yew Ming said he agreed with Banlaoi’s findings on the four routes from Malaysia.
He said evidence for the established routes was based on a number of arrests made by the Malaysian authorities earlier this year.
“The suspects were said to be from a terror cell that has been using Sabah as transit point to smuggle militants into the southern Philippines,” Lai, a lecturer at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, told The Defense Post.
Lai said the routes heading north from Malaysia may simply be alternatives to the established southerly route.
However, Lai believes Tawau may also be the launch point of a sea route for militants moving between Indonesia and the southern Philippines.
After an attack by Sulu militants in the eastern Sabah district of Lahad Datu in 2013, the Malaysian government designated Sabah’s east coast as the Eastern Sabah Security Zone or Esszone, covering some 1,700 km of coastline and the surrounding sea and land areas. A multi-agency command called the Eastern Sabah Security Command or Esscom was created to secure the special security zone.
The Esszone encompasses, among other areas, the Sulu Sea, which had been a hotspot of piracy and kidnappings by groups from the southern Philippines, although Esscom’s efforts have greatly reduced such incidents.
However, Malaysian authorities continue to catch terror suspects from the three neighboring countries in eastern Sabah.
These include arrests in January and February this year of 10 suspected ISIS-linked militants in Sandakan and Penampang districts, the latter in Sabah’s west coast.
One of them was a Filipino trying to arrange the movement of militants to Zamboanga through Sandakan, Malaysian Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said in a statement at the time.
Fuzi also said the cell had planned a future attack in Sabah, but he did not specify where.
In March, a 31-year-old man, allegedly the top aide to Furuji Indama, the notorious head of an Abu Sayyaf faction in Basilan, was arrested.
In late February, three men believed to have been Filipino militants were killed in a shootout with Esscom and other security agencies in Tawau.
During a press conference after the shootout, Esscom commander Deputy Commissioner of Police Hazani Ghazali announced additional security measures to stem the movement of criminals including militants from the east coast to the west, where Sabah’s capital city Kota Kinabalu is located.
Esscom is not only concerned about transborder foreign militant movements but also the spillover of southern Philippine militants heading towards the state’s west coast from eastern Sabah, and Indonesian militants making their way in the jungles through the Sabah-Kalimantan border to the southern Philippines.
Hazani said there are many “lorong tikus” or rat paths in the jungles between Indonesia and Malaysia that make Sabah an attractive transit point for the militants.
“We are aware of these and are monitoring these hidden paths,” he told The Defense Post.
According to the Esscom chief, most Indonesian militants prefer to transit Sabah overland before crossing the sea to the southern Philippines because of the shorter sea routes later.
“If they are to go directly from Indonesia to southern Philippines, they’ll have to travel far by sea from Indonesian Borneo or Sulawesi,” Hazani explained.
Indonesians were arrested in the the Sabah districts of Tawau and Sandakan trying to get to the southern Philippines while Filipinos were caught in Sabah and in Peninsular Malaysia after making a stopover in the state.
Several Malaysian militants from Peninsular Malaysia were also suspected to have transited through Sabah en route to Mindanao.
“There are many routes for Indonesian militants, but Sabah is one of the easiest due to several important factors,” Yohanes Sulaiman, a security analyst and lecturer at Indonesia’s Jenderal Achmad Yani University, told The Defense Post.
“There have already been a lot of movements traditionally of people between Sabah and Mindanao, and the terrorists are just utilizing that network. Remember the fact that the Malaysian government was caught completely off guard a few years ago when a bunch of people affiliated with the Sultanate of Sulu infiltrated Sabah,” Yohanes said, referring to the bloody 2013 Lahad Datu intrusion by Sulu militants out to stake their territorial claim over part of Sabah.
“In essence, it is easier to form a logistic support network to facilitate the movement of militants from Poso, an Indonesian region in central Sulawesi where there was a terrorist training camp, to Mindanao through Sabah and to maintain secrecy,” continued Yohanes.
A Philippines-based advisor echoed Yohanes’ statement on the passage of militants between his country and Malaysia.
“I think one factor is the historical connections between Sabah and Mindanao as well as the people living on both sides of the border,” the advisor, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are currently involved in the sensitive Mindanao peace process, told The Defense Post.
The advisor said Malaysia and the Philippines would have to monitor the movement of people more closely in the shared areas.
“I believe this is one of the objectives of the Malaysia-Indonesia-Philippines Trilateral Cooperation Arrangement, which includes joint maritime patrols in the Celebes Sea,” the advisor said.
However, the advisor said Sabah remains a sensitive subject for both Malaysia and the Philippines due to the unresolved territorial claims of the Sultanate of Sulu.
The Filipino advisor said a peace process between the Philippine government and the Moro people in Mindanao, if successful, could make insurgencies less attractive in the region and therefore, less militants’ crossborder travel.
They said if the peace process continues to move forward, meaning commitments in the peace agreements are realized gradually, there will be little space for terrorists and violent extremists to maneuver.
“The purpose of the peace process is not to solve the issue of violent extremism, but for finding a solution to the struggle of the Moro revolutionary fronts for their right to self-determination,” they said.
Nevertheless, the Filipino expert believed this should go hand-in-hand with the Philippine government’s more comprehensive program for improving governance and delivery of basic needs and socio-economic development in the region.
“Foreign fighters, particularly Indonesians and Malaysians, would then have a difficult time getting support in Mindanao if the peace process progresses,” they said.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This post originally said that all the routes taken by militants to Mindanao were based on information received from the Armed Forces of the Philippines. This was incorrect and the post has been edited and updated to reflect that. The Defense Post regrets the error.
It was further updated at 1340 GMT to add Lai Yew Ming’s comments. | 2019-04-19T17:12:29Z | https://thedefensepost.com/2018/11/20/malaysia-indonesia-philippines-foreign-fighters-transit-routes/ |

Beju, one of the curators, is a sculptor who explores the theme of contradiction by reversing the intrinsic qualities of the materials he uses, primarily metal and wood. His work concentrates on the shift in perception of the object, using a variation of trompe l’oeil techniques as a means of altering the reality of the piece being created. His careful balance of material and technique combine to bring the elements to life often with a humorous or sentimental touch. | 2019-04-24T16:05:58Z | http://www.artists-doing-business-as.com/2014-artists/beju/ |

Kinesiologist, Midwife, Registered Nurse, Reiki Master, Aromatherapist and Modern Mystic.
I have been involved with kinesiology for 20 years, as a client and as a practitioner. I was so impressed with the results of kinesiology with a family member, that I decided to book an appointment for myself and have never looked back.
Accessing my own inner wisdom has been life changing & fulfilling for me, I am definitely not the same person I was prior to kinesiology.
I am more open and honest with myself and less afraid of speaking up.
I now have an awareness of who I am, what I believe in and the direction I am travelling, and I’d like to enable others to do the same.
I studied Touch For Health after experiencing the amazing results of kinesiology personally, and then, after an inspiring meeting with a Balian (Balinese Medicine Man), progressed to studying Certificate IV in Kinesiology followed by the Diploma and International Diploma.
My interest in Aromatherapy surfaced during my career as a midwife, so I decided to study with a world renowned Aromatherapist here in Melbourne, learning about beautiful essential oils, their harvesting and manufacture, and their many and varied uses.
I use essential oils every single day and find them extremely beneficial to me, my work colleagues, clients and patients.
My love of essential oils drew me to studying the oils from a kinesiology perspective, and hence my frequent use of oils during kinesiology balancing, and a qualification as an Aromatic Kinesiologist.
My first foray into the world of complementary medicine arrived in the form of Reiki. I read an article that sparked an interest so much that I decided to study Reiki. Ultimately I gained all levels up to Reiki Master. I use Reiki every day on myself, and find it beneficial on clients and patients, when I am called to use it. Reiki for me is a constant. It is ever present in my touch.
Midwifery for me, is the embodiment of the feminine, of woman. I have been a midwife for 24 years, in all aspects from education to consultation, birthing, postnatal care and domiciliary home visiting. I have also been involved in all aspects of ‘woman’ and women’s health.
Nursing is where it all began. It was something I aspired to from childhood, and I have now been in the health industry and nursing for 36 years.
People and their health, on all levels, are my passion.
I love being in the fresh air and in nature. In the garden, on the beach, in the bush, outside in general. Flowers and plants are always present in my home and workplace. If I am inside, the windows and doors are open!
I love animals and own several. Their energy and unrestricted love soothe me.
I’m particularly drawn to the night sky, the moon in particular. I feel an energy and calmness when I contemplate the beautiful moon, and often stand outside at night gazing at the moon and inhaling her energy.
Reading is my outlet, a passion I have had from childhood. I always have a book on the go, and several waiting to be started. I much prefer to escape, learn and explore through reading rather than television.
Having said that, I love films, particularly those that aren’t mainstream. I enjoy losing myself in a good plot and beautiful scenery.

We met our new friends Mark and Brenda in Corpus Christi Marina on Saturday at noon. We sailed across the Corpus Christi Bay and up to Port Aransas on their Catalina 400. They have invited Bruce and I to sail with them in the 2008 Harvest Moon Regatta. (See the link at the bottom of my blog for the regatta) We have just begun to make our plans.
Saturday’s winds of 14-16 kts and very little chop on the bay made for a nice relaxing day out with the 150 headsail and a reefed in mast furling main. The boat is beautiful and has all kinds of things our boat doesn’t have so it was a real treat for Bruce and I. It was our first opportunity to get to know the boat a bit. Bruce was in his element tweaking and trimming and trading sail trim secrets with Mark and Brenda. We seem to be in agreement that we trim for comfort!!
We wiled away the afternoon in Port A with margaritas in the blender and chatting in the cockpit until time for dinner. We prepared a scrumptious dinner on Sea Flight and crawled back to Elan near 11:00. A very long and wonderful day! | 2019-04-20T00:27:17Z | https://www.thingswedidtoday.net/2008/08/saturday-august-10-2008.html |
Is Driskill Hotel in Austin haunted?
The Driskill Hotel, a Romanesque style building completed in 1886, is the oldest operating hotel in Austin, Texas, USA, and is one of the best-known hotels in Texas. The Driskill was conceived and built by Col. Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who spent his fortune constructing "the finest hotel south of St. Louis"
It is common at the hotel for people to claim that they hear people playing upstairs. They also claim that they feel something touching their face and arms.
Some people even say that they see figures in their windows and sitting in chairs. On the 3rd floor of the Hotel in one of the hallways there is a painting of a little girl holding flowers, witnesses report when they looked at the picture a weird sensation came over them.
It was like something was lifting up the heels of their feet, a tingling sensation causing their equilibrium to be off for the next few hours. Legend also has it that Col. Jesse Driskill haunts the top floor and elevators of the hotel he built in 1886. | 2019-04-19T11:01:39Z | http://www.hauntedhovel.com/driskillhotel.html |

The free-to-play MMORPG, La Tale, is getting a new class, the Demigod, a magic-based class with a combat style dependent on the mode, Rage or Divine. If you’re playing the Demigod in Rage mode, you equip a melee weapon and beat your foes down. Divine causes you to equip a long-ranged weapon.
To unlock the Demigod, you’ll need to start with the Monk, and work your way up through Battle Lord and Avenger.

Whether you are a resolution type or not, there’s no denying that the top of the calendar is a good place to start checking that your financial goals for the year are on track.
The first step is to identify that you do indeed have financial goals for the year. Do you know what you want from your money this year? Would you like to have finished saving your deposit for a new home, or reached a milestone amount in repaying your current home loan? Maybe you’d like to bump up your savings for a new car or a holiday, put in a pool, or do some renovations.
Whatever your goal, make a note of it and do the sums to work out how much money it will take to achieve.
Next, determine your current financial position. List your debts, your savings, your usual bills, and what you would spend on necessary expenses like transport and groceries. List any amount left over from your salary that you would usually think of as discretionary spending.
This is where things get interesting. Find ways to trim down your expenses list by cutting out things that could be considered a luxury. These could be items from your shopping list every week, gym fees, magazine subscriptions, takeaway coffees, pricey haircuts, and café lunches at work. Consider taking public transport or riding a bike to work to cut out petrol and parking costs, pack your lunch each day, and commit to not making any impulse purchases.
Consider this. Each day, if you spend $4 every morning on coffee, $15 on parking, $8 for lunch, and $3 on an afternoon snack, that’s $30 a day, which is $150 a week, or a whopping $600 a month. Let’s call that $1800 a quarter. In that time you might also get your hair cut and coloured twice, which could stretch to $200 each, and pay gym fees of about $200. We’re up to $2,400 a quarter, or $9,600 a year. If your partner does roughly the same, it adds up to $19,200.
That’s just cutting a few discretionary items to save you almost $20,000 a year. That will put you a lot closer to achieving whatever it is you’re saving for. But there are a couple of things to remember that will make your savings go further.
If you have credit card debt, pay that down as soon as you can because it is expensive debt that will sabotage your savings plan. Once that’s gone, put your extra money into your mortgage offset to minimise the interest you pay on your home loan, or make extra loan repayments to get ahead and keep that interest bill down. It will save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
Happy saving, and best wishes for 2016. | 2019-04-25T07:58:16Z | https://www.loans.com.au/news-media/blog/january-2016/a-fresh-start-for-your-finances |
Over 30 million U.S. households are either unbanked or underbanked (2017 FDIC report), they pay costly fees when cashing their paychecks, paying electronics bills or sending money orders to make these payments, and loading their money on prepaid cards.
With the VISA-PayActiv partnership, all users of PayActiv financial wellness services, irrespective of their banking status, will have the option to receive their earned wages in real-time on either the PayActiv Visa Prepaid Card or any other Visa debit, prepaid, or credit card eliminating the need for cashing their paychecks or paying fees to load a prepaid card. (read the full story on CNN Business).
PayActiv Visa Prepaid Card is the first general purpose reloadable prepaid card that offers on-demand access to earned wages and is part of a comprehensive suite of financial wellness services including bill pay, budgeting and savings, and financial counseling. Additionally, the Visa Direct partnership greatly expands the options available to our users to get access to earned income on-demand and in real-time.
With Earned Wage Access, users have the security of being able to cover their immediate or sudden expenses without the fear of a debt spiral, and now with the PayActiv Visa prepaid card they no longer have to suffer the humiliation of being excluded from the banking system or pay predatory fees for services that the rest of us take for granted.
For a $5 flat fees per biweekly pay period, which is payable only if used, users get instant access to earned wages and unlimited number of card-loads on the PayActiv Visa Prepaid card within a pay period. Since there is no limit to how many times it’s used, users can instantly load the desired amount on their card and immediately make any payment. There are no cardholder fees when used where VISA debit is accepted. This takes out the stress of worrying about hidden fees, and every transaction can be tracked and managed from the ease of a secure mobile app with features to maximize savings.
This is a game changer for those with limited banking status, and an unparalleled financial wellness solution that helps employers build a thriving, productive workforce.
What does it cost businesses to offer PayActiv to their employees?
Nothing. Nada. We have done all the heavy lifting for you. | 2019-04-21T18:35:36Z | https://www.payactiv.com/blog/visa-and-payactiv-access-to-earned-wages/ |

Legendary guitarist Dickey Betts canceled a series of three shows that were expected to begin on Tuesday in Syracuse. Betts cited “health concerns” as the cause for cancellation of the Syracuse date and stops that were scheduled for the Toyota Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Connecticut on August 30 and at the Casino Ballroom in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire on August 31. The founding Allman Brothers Band guitarist’s website explains that Dickey recently experienced what doctors called a “mild stroke.” Betts spoke with his doctors on Friday about certain symptoms he has been feeling in the wake of the stroke and he was advised to rest. The note mentions Betts’ doctors feel he will be 100 percent recovered after three to five weeks. Betts is hoping to reschedule his dates in Wallingford and Hampton Beach, and hopes to return to the road on November 1 in Augusta, Georgia.

My gorgeous 3 day weekend and I have the influenza virus moving around my body like sludge in an ice machine.
I always focus on the culprit whom gave me their dirty germs... not that I am ever going to hunt them down like the disease infested animal that they are and put the rest of the world in a 20 ft. radius of their germ spray at ease knowing they will not fall pray to the germ harboring phleeb. Its more so I can send evil thoughts to them while I am in bed with nothing better to do.
My phleep was this Muslim woman on the plane behind me. You think with all that extra fabric her abaya allows to cover her face... she could have used it over her mouth while coughing to protect the rest of the plane from her virus catapulting through the air vents of the plane.

my hire right came back clean but i have a minor record no felonies should i tell the companies about my minor record?
my hireright came back clean but i have a minor record but no felonies should i tell companies about my record?
Comments for my hire right came back clean but i have a minor record no felonies should i tell the companies about my minor record?
I was in orientation with a company that did really intense background checks. The second day into orientation people were getting sent home because records they thought were ex-sponged were popping up on the background check. The company said they had falsified their application by not telling about minor stuff. I heard this and I was real worried because I knew there were some things I left off my app because I was afraid they wouldn't hire me. So I really was torn what to do, I even prayed about it (and I'm no holy roller type ok). I ended up telling them the info I had left out. I said I wasn't sure if I had to give the information because of the way the question was worded but regardless now they knew the dirt on me. After some different head honcho's talked it over they decided to hire me anyway because they liked the fact I was honest and came clean about it. As it turned out, nothing had came up on my background check, I could have gotten away with not telling after all. Ironic huh?
Id throw out a ballpark number of 95% of companies are going to run a background check on you. Its best to just come out up front with your recruiter and ask them what you should and shouldn't put on your app.
That way you have nothing to lose cause as much as you think them recruiters are your friend you are really just a number so they wont even give you the time if your record if jacked up.
NOW, another thing that is odd is that there are a crap load of back ground checks out there and some divulge information that others don't.
Its weird but yeah one can say everything you've done since that tootsie roll you stole in pre k and the next wont show anything. Of course you cant pre determine which one they are gonna use or what they will find but that's where your recruiter comes in and says yeah put that on there or no don't cause it was too long ago and wont show up or whatever.
Hope you can find something and like Hervy said definitely stay out of trouble. If truck driving is a life you want to live you have to keep your record clean.
Not a lot of companies are dealing with people with records now a days since truckers are a dime a dozen.
No JUST KEEP YOUR NOSE CLEAN.
Hire right is not for reporting your criminal past. That's on your background check. Most likely the company will find out about it. then they will probably fire you.
However, a minor record with no felonies shouldn't keep you from eventually getting a trucking job if you tell the truth on the application. | 2019-04-20T10:49:18Z | http://www.lifeasatrucker.com/my-hire-right-came-back-clean-but-i-have-a-minor-record-no-felonies-should-i-tell-the-companies-about-my-minor-record.html |

Should You Lie for a Recruiter?
And an additional 70 percent of college students reported that they would lie on a resume to get the job they wanted. Is this shocking, no? We’ve all told a little white lie (or two), but perhaps what I’m about to share next will surprise you.
Lately I’ve been troubled by a recruiter who appears to be encouraging me to lie about my qualifications to the companies he wants to submit me to. The first time, I lacked many of the qualifications listed in the job description and told the recruiter that I didn’t think that position was suitable for my level of experience, but he insisted that I had those qualifications because he looked at my resume (which didn’t say anything at all about those qualifications), and encouraged me to just say I had experience with those technologies and then look them up on the Internet before the interview. He also pressured me with repeated calls, asking me to give him permission to forward my resume to the job without even telling me anything about the job other than the list of qualifications required.
Now, as the numbers showed, many people don’t have a problem with lying when it comes to getting a job, but what about when someone else (seemingly in a higher position of authority) asks you to lie about your skills and qualifications. If you have no problem with stretching an employment date here and adding a false certification there, surely it’s no trouble at all to embellish the truth at the request of a recruiter—someone in the business, who knows the business—right?
Just how you’re taking a major risk if you lie on your resume, you could be taking an even greater risk of public embarrassment and shame if you lie for a recruiter.
First of all, lying just isn’t worth it because, somewhere down the line, a company is sure to find the truth. And you don’t want to be years into your career working at your dream job or running a company only to be exposed that you lied about something in your past and now your entire career, reputation, credibility and brand are snatched away from you.
And if you lie for a recruiter, your hopes of gaining employment can possibly never get fulfilled. Let’s say, at a recruiter’s request, you lie about skills and experiences you don’t possess. Then, during a background and reference check, your lies are exposed by a company. Not only will that recruiter be possibly banned from working with the company again, your credibility as a job seeker will be tarnished. If the “exiled” recruiter had a reputation of placing bad candidates who didn’t have the skills they claimed, his or her whole entire roster of candidates may be affected. Companies may not want to work with any of the recruiter’s applicants. This means, as a job seeker, you now have an even slimmer chance of landing a job (at least in the field where the recruiter specialized).
Like the Askamanager.com blog owner advised: If a recruiter asks you to lie for him/her, you don’t want to work with this type of person anyway. Besides, if a recruiter needs you to lie to “fit” a role, he or she wasn’t very qualified to properly place candidates in the first place. | 2019-04-24T06:17:39Z | https://www.recruiter.com/i/should-you-lie-for-a-recruiter/ |

Mahesh Babu's Srimanthudu will to be dubbed in Tamil as Selvanthan. Tollwood star Mahesh Babu was in Chennai yesterday to launch the audio of his film, Selvanthan.
He said, 'It is a family drama. We have touched upon a number of emotional flash points that the Tamil audiences will definitely relate to. The film also features a number of familiar Tamil faces and it has been shot in several places in Tamil Nadu. We hope it will work'.
Interestingly the actor has expressed his desire to do a direct Tamil movie soon. When a reporter asked which of the Tamil actors he would like to share the screen space with, Mahesh Babu said that it would be Ilayathalapathy Vijay.
Incidentally, both of them have starred in the remakes of each other’s films previously.
'My next film, Brahmotsavam, will have a Tamil release. I am planning to speak Tamil myself', he said.
It is to be noted that Vijay's Ghilli and Pokkiri and remake of Mahesh Babu's Okkadu and Pokiri in Tollywood. Though Mahesh Babu gave some decent hits after that, Vijay or no other leading heroes were interested in remaking his movies. Possible reason why Mahesh Babu decided to release Srimanthudu in a dubbed version. | 2019-04-20T02:58:28Z | http://www.kollyinsider.com/2015/08/mahesh-babu-wants-to-act-with.html |
There could be a hundred people in the room, and we’d still only see Lady Gaga. If we could ask her anything, it’d just be this one question: How do you do it? Her music, her already Oscar-worthy Hollywood career, her brave advocacy of causes close to her and, of course, her ever-changing and never-boring hair.
In case you haven’t been keeping up, Gaga’s current choice of mane is a supreme platinum blonde, also known as the most difficult shade to care for. The color needs more frequent upkeep as it requires a double process; the hair is first bleached, and then the color is neutralized with a toner. Add in a bunch of heat, and you have the recipe for a gorgeous platinum shade — oh, and some very fragile hair.
Platinum blond hair is more prone to breakage and can look scraggly or unhealthy if not nourished regularly. You also don’t want it looking brassy or too pale. So, how does she do it? Frederic Aspiras, who prepped Gaga’s hair for those fire red carpet outings, spilled the grooming beans. | 2019-04-25T23:59:48Z | http://thefashionspot.ca/beauty/822923-lady-gagas-platinum-blond-upkeep/ |

Knockatagglemore is the 1092th highest place in Ireland. Knockatagglemore is the most southerly summit and also the most westerly in the W Limerick/N Kerry area.
TJ Barrington in his 1970's tome 'Discovering Kerry' says that the finest view of the mountains in Kerry is to be obtained from this point. To the north west, the mountains of the Dingle peninsula are on display all the way to the Blaskets and Inis na Bró to the far west. To the north, Castleisland, and on a very clear day, the waves can be seen crashing on Kerry Head. To the south, every hill from Mount Hillary near Mallow to the Mountain Stage near Cahersiveen lies before you, with particularly good aspects of the Paps, Mangerton, Tomies and the Reeks. The spires of Killarney and the Lakes beyond are nearby to the south west. If the light is right, Dingle Bay and the sandspit of Inch are clearly visible. In the far distance to the east, can (on occasion) be seen the Ballyhouras and Galtees.
This unnamed summit lies on elevated bog that separates the parishes of Kilcummin and Currow, and the baronies of Trughanacmy and Magunihy. This is an ancient division. In the early Christian period, it represented the border between the Ciarraighe Luachra to the north and the Eoghanacht Locha Léin to the south, in the medieval times between the Lordships of the Earls of Desmond and the McCarthys, and in Elizabethan times between the counties of Kerry and Desmond.
The summit is also on the approximate dividing line between the cultural area of Sliabh Luachra to the east and south east (known primarily for Gaelic poets of the 18th century and an Irish music genre of the 20th) and the more agriculturally productive areas of mid-Kerry to the west.
So if you want some good views and an easy walk through a working bog, this is the one for you. | 2019-04-22T12:10:43Z | https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1114/comment/15991/ |
Food, wine, cooking and hiking – enjoy more of what the country has to offer.
The average tourist spends just four days in Slovenia, barely enough time to fit in Ljubljana and a couple of day trips, and much too short to even see half of what this country has to offer.
It’s thus no surprise that many are seeking to encourage longer stays and more immersive experiences, and one such individual is Špela Vodovc, the woman behind Culinary Slovenia, a provider of cooking workshops, food walks and week-long tours, all with a focus on sharing the country’s foodways with her guests, enabling them to experience the country beyond the usual tourist sights.
We recently sat down for coffee in Ljubljana, and I asked Špela about her work, and what people can expect on the cooking and wine-tasting tours she organises.
How did this all begin?
I started with cooking workshops in Ljubljana 2013, so teaching travellers from around the world how to cook traditional Slovenian food with locals. It’s a very different kind of things to going to a restaurant, where they just serve food and you eat it, maybe without knowing anything about what’s on your plate.
With a workshop guests participate in making what they’ll eat, learn about the ingredients and how it’s made. So it’s not just about the food and wine, but the overall experience as a way into this part of Slovenian culture, its history and the present.
What kind of thing do guests learn to make on a cooking workshop?
For those based in Ljubljana I try and give guests a little journey around Slovenia in food, so we start with a few appetizers. The workshop is very hands-on, I share with them our local cooking philosophy and treasured family recipes. The menu depends on the season and we prepare a three-course meal. You don't need any previous culinary experience to enjoy the delicacies we prepare. Each dish is served fresh, immediately after preparation. They also try different Slovenian wines, and for the end some typical Slovenian digestive schnapps and liqueurs.
Tell me more about the one-week tours.
First, I believe traveling in small groups is the best way for an authentic experience. The guests spend time with locals and get to see many of Slovenia’s hidden gems, which are often overlooked, and we have two long tours to help them achieve this.
One is a combination hiking and gourmet tour, and the second is cooking and wine-tasting. I really like outdoor sports, so that’s why I set up the hiking one, and that’s done with professional guides who have all the licences to take you into the Julian Alps and so on. That’s aimed at what I call “active foodies”, people who want to get up every day, go for a long walk, swim in a lake, build up an appetite, then enjoy the best of whatever food and wine is available in the region. Right now that’s the more popular tour, and we’ve had a lot of media coverage for it, so this year I’m looking to grow the market for cooking and wine-tasting.
The idea is to experience terrific food and wine, and supply guests with an insight into local traditions and a chance to meet with food producers, chefs and winemakers. A tour is for from two to eight people. It starts in Ljubljana, or we can pick you up at the airport, travelling with a van and a guide. The guests spending the nights on a tourist farm in Goriška brda, but the aim is experience five culinary regions in one week, with a focus on the Mediterranean (Goriška brda, the Vipava Valley, the Karst and coast and the Julian Alps (Kobarid). Luckily Slovenia has a lot of variety in a small space, so you can do all of this without too much time on the road.
Can you talk me through a typical week?
I want to show people the beautiful things in each part of Slovenia we go to, and not always the normal tourist things. You can find the full itinerary on the website, so I won’t go through everything here, but we start in Ljubljana and then head to Goriška brda, where we’re based for the rest of the trip, staying on a tourist farm.
So guests can stay on a farm, use that as a base, and explore the area. Kind of going back to basics, not staying in a big hotel, and being more connected with nature, with the food. Whenever possible I work with a tourist farms where they serve traditional local food.
Yes and no. There’s enough to see and do, but not so much that you’re busy the whole time, so you can take it easy and relax. This is a seven-day tour, not Slovenia in a day, so travelling and timetables are kept to a minimum.
What about the cooking part of the tour?
We have two cooking classes taught by local women. They guide you through the preparation of a variety Slovenian recipes and reveal some of their culinary secrets. While everyone cooks, and eats what they cook, we make sure everything is well-controlled and easily achievable. You don’t have to be a masterchef to do it.
Is there a lot of walking on the tour?
No, the food tour is very different to the hiking one, and there’s no more than 30 minutes walking at a time, like when we go and see the Kozjak Waterfall in Soča Valley. And that’s a really special day, in fact, because we have a nice walk in nature and then go to both of the restaurants run by Ana Roš and her husband Valter. For lunch we go to Hiša Polonka, which is their more local place, with traditional dishes, but then at night we go to Hiša Franko for the full fine-dining experience. [Note: Ana Roš was named World's Best Female Chef in 2017].
And what about the wine experience on this tour?
We take our guests to the best vineyards in each region and taste wine from world class producers. They get to tour the family's wine cellars where the owners show them how they follow and nurture centuries-old traditions of winemaking, in addition to offering diverse range of their products to try.
Overall, on this tour it’s all about the experience, and it’s a combination that allows you to sample both the region’s most refined cuisine and its most rustic traditions, with a selection of great Slovenian wine.

What a telling and relatable quote. Sometimes as Pepperdine students, we tend to paint a smile on our faces even through our struggles. I had the pleasure of interviewing the talented singer/songwriter Lizzy LeBleu, and we discussed her vulnerable lyrics in her latest single “Lost in Los Angeles,“ which strikes a cord with students who may be feeling the pressure to act like everything is perfect just because we happen to live in a “picture perfect” city.
As a Nashville native, LeBleu was a sought after tennis player in high school. Despite not being actively pursued for the tennis program at Pepperdine, she fell in love with the campus after visiting. Apprehensive about leaving her family, with whom she is very close, LeBleu figured it was “now or never,” and her family encouraged her to take the risk and move to California for college.
LeBleu is a senior at Pepperdine and expects to complete her Business Administration degree with a Sustainability minor this Spring. She plans to go on and receive her MBA through Pepperdine’s five year program.
LeBleu is a very practical girl and feels peace of mind knowing that with her degrees she will have a stable job in the future. How did such a practical thinker end up in the unpredictable world of music?
As a child, LeBleu took piano lessons and absolutely hated them. However, said she found joy in banging pots and pans around the house. Her parents took notice of this and eventually put LeBleu in drum lessons, which she said she loved. With her newfound joy of drumming, she joined a band as a drummer when she was in middle school.
Over time, said she found herself harmonizing with the band despite her shyness of never wanting to “be in the front.” Finding a new passion for singing, LeBleu notes that at the time, “singing just made sense” to her, prompting her to learn how to play the guitar by watching YouTube videos.
LeBleu was encouraged to write songs throughout high school but viewed singing as just a fun hobby at that point. One night, she found herself performing covers for fun at a local show in Nashville, and a family friend in the audience recorded a video of her singing and sent it to a producer who was eager to record with LeBleu in a studio on Music Row.
She also said her actions were all based on response — a response she found slightly surprising. Though she enjoyed writing and recording, she said she “didn’t know people would enjoy it.” Today, with just over 63,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and five singles out, LeBleu doesn’t plan to stop making music anytime soon.
My personal favorite is “Digressions,“ which she actually wrote in high school to acknowledge her emotions about leaving everything familiar behind. The harmonies coupled with the guitar accompaniment and somber tone of the song remind me of the style of Maggie Roger’s, whom LeBleu notes as one of her musical inspirations along with Kacey Musgraves and Norah Jones.
What’s next for LeBleu? As she is headed off to finish her MBA degree, she finds no reason to stop working on her music. She notes that she is constantly writing and it’s all up “to timing” of when she can get in the studio to record and when production can take place.
LeBleu is also thinking of her short-term future. As of right now, she is excited to earn her MBA because it is important for her to acquire skills that would be applicable in any industry. Nevertheless, if the opportunity presented itself, LeBleu would be more than happy to take it and pursue music.
It was so amazing learning more about LeBleu’s artistry and vision, and I believe in her music because of its reliability. Follow her on Instagram @lizzylebleu to keep up with her budding music career.
LeBleu’s music is available on all streaming sites including Spotify and Apple Music. I highly recommend checking out her discography!
Pass it on is the last part of my artists profiles in which I ask the artist I am interviewing to suggest who I should interview next. Stay tuned to the next addition of Bands, Fans and Bandwagon Fans to find out who I end up interviewing!
Until next time & thank God for music! | 2019-04-18T16:56:03Z | http://pepperdine-graphic.com/band-fans-and-bandwagon-fans-artist-spotlight-lizzy-lebleu/ |

Hi! Sign in to let us know how The Real Mother Goose was?
Briana O. Nov 11 .
The Real Mother Goose has a great variety of interesting gifts and fun knick-knacks, I love going in often to see what is new. A little pricey but still worth it for the quality.
Anne S. Sep 03 .
This is a very fun store to poke around in. Lots of interesting one-of-a-kind gifts handcrafted by a variety of artists. I have purchased many gifts there - everything from jewelry to artwork and I have always received compliments on the items I have found there.
The staff is helpful and is happy to answer questions without being pushy. I know that whenever I visit I will find new things that I haven't seen everywhere else!
Great store - unique gifts!
This place is so cute! They have unique gifts - very UNdepartment store. It's fun to go in, even just to look around. If you're in the neighborhood drop by.
Karol K. May 31 .
The Real Mother Goose is a gift shop but very unique. Its located in downtown Portland right on the Max line. All items appear to be handmade and many by local artists.

GIFs and emojis are everywhere. You can't even start a conversation nowadays without some form of graphic popping up in the first 5 exchanged messages. But finding and inserting them isn't always the most seamless of experiences. Whether it's scrolling through endless lists of emojis with the complexity of dealing with different sets and their weird emoji orders and designs, or trying to figure out how each app you're using deals with GIFs, it can take anywhere between a few seconds and a couple of minutes to find the perfect visual to convey your message.
That's where Dango swoops in to provide a better approach.
Floating Music Widget, despite the name, isn't really a widget. It's an app that launches a floating window granting quick access to your currently playing song. The app takes the music widget that usually resides on your lock screen and lets you use it anywhere. It isn't rich with features, but it's a convenient way of bouncing back and forward between tracks. Yet despite doing exactly what it promises, it probably won't replace other means of managing music for most people.
This app clearly isn't a commercial product. Those typically come with branding, features, or polish that somewhat slow them down.
We generally have a rule at Android Police HQ: we don't post about Kickstarter/Indiegogo projects at least until they've been funded. Too often things turn into vaporware and people's money ends up wrapped up in things like Diaspora that never take off. Today, we're making a rare exception to talk about Minuum, because this video starts off as "Oh, that's kinda cool," and quickly shifts to "Holy crap, that's amazeballs!"
As you can see in the beginning of the video, the concept is fairly simple. It's yet another predictive text input algorithm that allows you to be less accurate when typing.
Some apps don't need much explanation. Sidewalk Buddy is one of those apps... but I'm going to explain it anyway. So, as everyone knows, attempting to chat or text on your phone as you walk on a busy city street is a great way to make people hate you. It's also a great way to bump into someone and drop your phone. But a lot of us still do it from time to time, because it seems like a good idea - and it's so efficient! I personally give up on either the walking or texting part after the first pedestrian-on-pedestrian collision, but Sidewalk Buddy may finally be the solution we've all been looking for.
Here at Android Police, we love floating apps. Love, love, love, love, love 'em. And here's yet another one that we're adding to the list of floating apps we love: Hovernote. It's simply a note app that hovers over whatever you're doing. In a world where it's necessary to launch a full-screen app on a ten inch device to jot down three words, Hovernote is a godsend.
As you can see from the screenshots above, you can have multiple notes open, copy, paste and share from them, and even use the app on phones. | 2019-04-22T14:23:39Z | https://www.androidpolice.com/tags/floating-app/ |

As part of my summer campaign to explore the Hudson Valley region (read: to avoid working on manuscripts/cursing at R), I recently bought an annual membership to Mohonk Preserve. The preserve is just outside of the town of New Paltz, only about 45 minutes away from Poughkeepsie, and has miles of hiking trails with some amazing views of the surrounding landscape.
I particularly enjoy Mohonk because, unlike Shenandoah National Park or the Vassar College Farm, I have never gotten any ticks there. On a recent visit, I also hiked around Mohonk Mountain House, a gorgeous hotel perched atop a mountain lake that is, unfortunately, only accessible to the ultra-wealthy guests who sojourn there.
I hope that you’re able to spot some orogenic osteology of your own this summer!

Seventy-two per cent of the bankers think that the number of banks operating in the country should be reduced amid influential quarters’ lobbying for new banks at the fag end of the tenure of the current Awami League-led government, reveals a Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management research report.
The research report was released at a seminar on ‘Exploring merger and acquisition in the context of the banking sector of Bangladesh’ at the BIBM auditorium in the capital on Thursday.
A four-member BIBM team led by its professor and director Md Mohiuddin Siddique came up with the findings based on opinions of 285 bankers of 57 banks, five from each bank, above the rank of assistant vice-president.
Eleven per cent of the bankers, however, think that the number of banks in the country is reasonable and 17 per cent denied making any comment on the issue, the BIBM director said while presenting the research findings.
At present there are 57 scheduled banks and six specialised banks in the country.
The Awami League-led government in its 1996-2001 tenure had issued licences to 13 new banks and in the current tenure it issued nine new licences in 2012.
Awami League leaders and organisations like the police, Navy and Air Force are lobbying for bank company licences ahead of the next general elections scheduled for 2018.
The presentation of Mohiuddin Siddique on the banking sector also highlighted the challenges for merger of banks in the country.
The challenges include lack of corporate governance, hidden benefits of the board members, lack of capacity of the directors, political weakness and change of mentality.
BIBM director general Toufic Ahmad Choudhury presided over the seminar where Bangladesh Bank deputy governor SK Sur Chowdhury and former BB deputy governor Khondkar Ibrahim Khaled were present, among others.
Ibrahim Khaled said banks had turned into grocery shops due to low educational qualification of the sponsors of banks.
Speaking about newly amended provision in the bank companies act that allows four directors from a family, Khaled called on the banking professionals to speak loud against the provision.
The country’s small-scale banks think that any merger with big banks will result in non-existence for them but a significant number of mergers are taking place worldwide as part of the entities’ desire for becoming bigger, Khaled said.
Speaking about the Bangladesh Development Bank Limited’s issue, he said that two bad entities produced another bad entity.
SK Sur Chowdhury said that there were examples of mergers in developed and developing countries but the concept was a bit new in Bangladesh.
He also said that the central bank had preparation to deal with mergers and it had already prepared guidelines in this regard.
Toufic Ahmad said that there should be an ‘exit policy’ for those banks which will perform poorly. | 2019-04-22T04:58:14Z | http://www.newagebd.net/article/26025/72pc-of-bankers-think-number-of-banks-should-be-cut-study |

I studied mathematics at the University of Newcastle (NSW) and worked there for a year as a tutor and research assistant before heading off to the University of Oxford on a Commonwealth Scholarship to study for a PhD in mathematics. I then held a junior academic post at Oxford for a year before moving successively to Queen Mary London, the University of Reading, Imperial College London and University College London. After 30 years in the UK, I returned to Australia in 2014, where I am Professor of Statistical Genetics in the Schools of Bioscience and of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Melbourne.
My research covers a broad range of mathematical and statistical problems in genetics – evolutionary, population and medical. I also work on the interpretation of forensic DNA profiles and have given expert evidence in many court cases as well as writing a book "Weight-of-Evidence for Forensic DNA Profiles" (Wiley, 2nd edition 2015). I am an editor of the Handbook of Statistical Genetics (Wiley, 4th edition will appear late 2018) and the Handbook of Statistical Systems Biology (Wiley, 2011).
Antoinette studied applied mathematics at the University of Adelaide (BSc Honours 1987) and at University of Wollongong (PhD 1992) and was awarded the Michell Medal by ANZIAM in 2000. After working in the USA for several years, she returned to Australia to take up a lecturing position at the University of Melbourne. She was promoted to Professor in 2015.
Antoinette’s research crosses the domains of mathematics, engineering, physics and geophysics. She has been chief investigator on a range of problems relating to: off-road vehicle mobility in terrestrial and extra-terrestrial environments, geotechnical structures, sensor networks, earthquake mechanics, unconventional reservoir characterisation, and design of sustainable construction materials. Her recent work is focused on multiscale material characterisation and modelling from data, fuelled by continuing breakthroughs in high-resolution measurements. These efforts involve international collaborations with multidisciplinary teams from the experimental and high performance computing fronts, including UNESCO on landslide monitoring, with funding from the US Army, US Air Force, NASA and the ARC.
I completed a BMath (Hons) (Adv) / BSc (Physics) (Adv) at the University of Wollongong in 2007 and then pursued a PhD at the University of Sydney from 2008-2012. After completing the PhD, I undertook a postdoctoral fellowship in the mathematics of climate at the University of Vermont.
I was appointed as a lecturer in applied mathematics within the Stochastic Modelling and Operations Research group at the University of Adelaide in 2014. My research interests are in computational social science and social networks, particularly how information and influence propagate through online social media, as well as data assimilation and the mathematics of weather and climate. I am also an associate investigator with ACEMS.
Sally was drawn to the beauty of pure maths in high school and continues to be fascinated and inspired by it today.
After completing a Bachelor of Science, she went on to do a PhD in topology, which studies the nature of space and the objects within it. She learnt a lot about weird and wonderful mathematical spaces, and not theory – sorry, knot theory. She also discovered that as a topologist she could no longer tell the difference between a coffee mug and a donut (see why in her talk!).
Sally also has a passion for teaching mathematics, and for many years worked in the Mathematics and Statistics Learning Centre at the University of Melbourne, before taking time off to have a family. She has now returned to casual tutoring in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, where she enjoys working with the next generation of young maths enthusiasts.
Maths has always been a passion of mine since discovering the beauty, creativity and elegance of mathematical patterns from a young age. I also enjoy the satisfaction of solving difficult problems and learning about useful ways that maths is applied in the real world.
In VCE, I studied Specialist Maths for the challenge and creativity required. This also enabled me to fast-track maths studies at the University of Melbourne, where I majored in Physics and Operations Research – a branch of maths also known as ‘the science of decision making’. Both majors showed how maths could be applied to the real world and make a positive impact, which I really appreciated learning about.
Since graduating in 2015, I have worked in stock trading, business strategy, data analytics and consulting. Many people are surprised by how different my studies and my career seem to be. Yet, in each job, I have often needed to draw upon the analytical and problem-solving skills learnt from studying maths.
It has been an eye-opening experience to work in so many diverse applications of maths, and I will probably continue doing so for a long time yet!
I have always liked mathematics – it was the only subject in primary school where it was possible to get a 100 percent. Although this was no longer true as I progressed to high school, my passion for mathematics remained. It was only halfway through my bachelor’s degree that I was made aware that doing a university degree in Mathematics was actually possible! This was when I made a switch over to Mathematics, and discovered applied mathematics though in all truthfulness, I had no idea how mathematics could be used anywhere.
After completing my PhD on bubble surface deformation near a wall, I accepted a research scientist position at IBM Research. It was at IBM that I realised how my mathematics degree could be used to solve a myriad of problems, including renewable energy and finance. The skills I have developed during my PhD: problem-solving, finding patterns in data, programming and even presenting have proven to be useful in my current position. I am still learning new things about mathematics every day at work and am excited to discover new ways to use mathematics to solve our everyday life problems.

Growing up as a big fan of maths, I didn’t hesitate to go for a maths-related degree in uni. I majored in pure and applied maths in a Bachelor of Science.
In 2011, I decided to further my adventure with maths, particularly with statistics. I got the opportunity of studying maths and statistics at the University of Melbourne as a master student and completed my degree in 2013. The two-year program truly enlightened me as to what a wide range of interesting jobs I can do with fun applications of maths and statistics.
Since graduating, I have worked in several industries as a data science professional, within both the public and private sectors. Currently I’m a senior data analyst with the Victorian Centre for Data Insights. My major task is to help people understand their problems as well as solve the problems through the use of maths and statistics.
I’ve been enjoying working with numbers and formulas and am thrilled to see how they magically deliver value to my clients. Recently I’ve been particularly interested in better policy making for public service and welfare via the good use of data. | 2019-04-21T21:08:26Z | https://ms.unimelb.edu.au/engage/real-world-maths-in-action/past-events |
Boots have always been popular attire in video games. Often times they have special abilities imbued in. They might let players do all sorts of things be it walk on ceilings, or jump super fast, or run faster. One type of boot that never really got explored was one with a gun on it. Sure, it sounds good on paper. However, the practicality of such a wondrous device was always a question.
So, when Downwell came along it turned a lot of heads. It took a simple concept and made it extremely fun. Players would control their little on-screen dude as he jumped down a well, blasting monsters in his way with his trust gun boots. Gun Boots! They just make sense in a game that has nothing but vertical environments.
Basically, players want to get to the bottom of the well in order to win. So, from the surface they jump down and begin their journey. As they continue to plummet downward, the denizens of the well will begin to attack. Controls simply allow for moving left and right, jumping, and firing the gun boots. As such, players will leap from ledges and rocky outcrops, then either attempt to maneuver through all of the monsters trying to attack, or blasting them to bits with their boots.
At first, things aren’t too hectic, but after a few stages the pace really picks up. Players begin to strategize on the fly, figuring out the safest path to fall, when to go on the offensive, constantly monitoring how many charges the boots have left. The last bit there is important because if players are trigger happy, the current clip of ammo in the boots will run out. When that happens, players won’t be able to shoot again until after they land on a ledge. At that point, the boots automatically reload.
Downwell has some roguelike qualities to it as well. Each playthrough, the stage layouts are a little bit different. There are themes to different sections of the game, which remain consistent (the first few stages are caverns, followed by catacombs, etc), but where the ledges, bonus rooms, shops, and monsters show up change with each run. At the end of each stage, players will also get to choose from three power-ups to help them on their journey as well. These can range from health boosts, to improved accuracy, bullets blasting out of bricks that are destroyed, and a bunch of others.
With each playthrough, progress points are accumulated and as milestones are reached various goodies are unlocked. Some of these give players new styles they can utilize in the game. For instance, one causes far more weapons to spawn in a run, but reduces the likelihood of shops appearing. Another gives players more hit points, but there will be less power-ups to choose from between levels. It’s also possible to unlock new color palettes over time. These give players all sorts of options for how their game can look if the red, white, and black default isn’t to their liking.
Aesthetically, Downwell goes for a very simple, retro look. Stages have very catchy chip tunes playing, and the visuals have a fairly minimalist pixel styling. What it lacks in fidelity, the game more than makes up for in personality. The way players’ character waves its arms around trying to stay balanced on the edge of a ledge is adorable. Meanwhile the game’s shopkeeper comes off as quite cordial in a way that makes it clear he’s happy to take your money.
Since the game first released in 2015, it has gradually been ported to a number of different platforms. It is available digitally for the PS4 and soon the Nintendo Switch as well. There are iOS and Android versions, and the game is also available on Steam, of course. Downwell takes a very simple, but also very unique concept that makes for an extremely enjoyable experience. It’s great for both people who just want to kill 10 minutes and those who want to get sucked into a game and lose themselves for an hour or so.

People often say love hurts but is this true?
Are you afraid to open your heart to love, for fear of getting hurt? Learn how to lovingly manage the hurt.
Is it possible to fully love without getting hurt? The answer is unequivocally NO!
Is this because love hurts? Again, the answer is NO!
It is not love that hurts. It’s loss of love that hurts. Love can be lost when a loved one dies, when a loved one rejects you and leaves, or when a loved one becomes mean, angry, abusive, distant, or disconnected.
Good question Janie. The answer lies in learning how to manage hurt so that you are not so scared of it.
The reason most people are scared of being hurt is because they don’t know how to manage the pain of loneliness, heartbreak, grief and helplessness over others and outcomes.
The truth is that it is not possible to love without risking experiencing these very painful feelings. If you are afraid of them because you don’t know how to lovingly manage them, then you will likely protect yourself from fully loving.
No one wants to be hurt. But living a life without love hurts more than managing the hurt that comes with loving.
The fear of being hurt is deeply rooted in our growing-up years. I’ve never met anyone who was not hurt by parents, siblings, friends, schoolmates, teachers or religious leaders. For most people, childhood was filled with many hurts. As little children, we were too small to manage these hurts, so we learned to close our heart and stay in our head to avoid the pain. It’s all we knew to do.
However, as an adult, you can learn to manage the hurt, and managing it allows you to keep your heart open to loving. Since love and the pain of heartbreak exist in the same place in the heart, we cannot shut one down without shutting down the other.
Go inside and see which is more important to you – protecting against the pain of getting hurt, orbeing loving with yourself and others. You cannot do both at the same time.
I have discovered a very simple, yet powerful way of managing hurt – the deep hurt of loneliness, heartbreak, grief and helplessness over others.
We all want acknowledgment for our feelings, and acknowledging these deeply painful feelings is vital for being able to release them. Naming them is a powerful way to acknowledge them.
2. Be kind and compassionate toward your painful feelings. When we are feeling hurt, we need understanding, kindness and compassion. It is very healing to learn to give this to ourselves. Allow yourself to cry if you feel like crying, as tears are a healthy way of releasing these feelings out of your body.
3. Release the feelings to Spirit. When you feel ready, say, “I release these feelings to Spirit and ask for them to be replaced by peace and acceptance.” You can feel your feelings moving out and being released.
4. Learn from them. Open to learning, with your higher self, about anything these feelings are teaching you about a person or situation. What truth are they telling you about this person or situation? Is there any loving action you need to take for yourself in this situation?
5. Take the loving action. Accept whatever truth you learn about, and take whatever loving action you need to take.
6. Notice how you feel now. Notice that you likely feel clear and released, and that this didn’t take long at all. Notice that you CAN manage your painful feelings and that you no longer need to be afraid of the pain of loving.
Honoring our feelings is crucial to recover from codependency. Many of us had our feelings shamed or we weren’t comforted growing up. We don’t what we’re feeling or how to nurture ourselves. Repression or distraction seems the better choice. Another problem that contributes to painful relationships is denial of needs. Chronic caretaking, people-pleasing, or sacrificing for others necessitates not getting our needs met. Identifying them, knowing how to fill them, and asking for what we need and what are important to enjoying satisfying relationships. | 2019-04-21T18:30:51Z | http://howdoidate.com/relationships/love/do-you-believe-love-hurts/ |

2000 local time. MT spoke for 37 minutes 25 seconds and answered questions for a further 10 minutes. She did not follow the press release at all closely. Still less did she adhere to the version published in Alistair Cooke’s The Revival of Britain (1989), pp1-17, which includes material removed from the text after the press release had been distributed - for which see CCOPR 765/75 (15 September 1975, informing editors of the deletion and MT The Path to Power (1995), pp358-59).
However, the rather fatalistic tone of much of what is written about Britain by commentators on both sides of the Atlantic is, I believe, misplaced. So I'm very grateful to the SocioEconomic Institute for giving me a splendid opportunity to try and put one or two things straight.
I think most outside observers have noticed that, amid our very well published difficulties, a new debate is beginning—or perhaps I should say an old debate is being renewed—about the proper role of government, the Welfare State, and the attitudes on which both rest. And may I stress that the attitudes are extremely important? Of course, many of the issues at stake have been debated on countless occasions in the last century or two and some are as old as philosophy itself, but the Welfare State in Britain is now at least thirty years old. So, after a long period in which it was unquestionably accepted by the whole of society, we can now do more than discuss its strengths and weaknesses in the abstract language of moral and political principles. We can depart from theory and we can actually look at the evidence and see how it has worked, what effect it has had on the economy, how we ought now to assess it, before we decide what to go on and do next.
The debate centres on what I'll term, for want of a better phrase, the ‘progressive consensus’. I should perhaps say here that things that are called progressive are not always progressive in practice—but of course some of them are. And the progressive consensus, I think, is the doctrine that the state should be active on many fronts: in promoting equality, in the provision of social welfare, and in the redistribution of wealth and incomes.
Now, that’s the end of the quotation on social justice and the means by which that person proposed to bring it about. It so happened that that was written by a former Labour cabinet minister in 1962, but I’m not particularly interested in party politics tonight, because these views have been held in varying degrees by all political parties, in schools and universities, and among social commentators generally. It’s interesting that they’re now being questioned right across the same broad spectrum.
Now, it’s not that our people are suddenly reverting to the ideals of laissez-faire. Nor are they rejecting the social advances of recent decades. It’s rather that they are reviving a constructive interest in the noble ideals of personal responsibility, because in some respects the concepts of social responsibility have turned sour in practice. And we are making an attempt to identify and eliminate errors and fallacies and to consolidate and retrench before advancing further. And it’s in that constructive spirit, and as a former Secretary of State for Education and Science myself, that I'm speaking to you tonight.
Now, I'll try and concentrate on three broad issues, particularly in view of that quotation which I read to you a short time ago, which you’ll remember had some very strange phrases in it. The three issues I'm going to concentrate on are: What are the facts about the distribution of wealth and incomes? Secondly, to what extent is greater equality desired in Britain today? And thirdly, has the economy been strengthened by the promotion of more equality and the extension of the Welfare State?
Now, what I have to say involves quite a number of statistics, because you’ll realise that, with a mixture of a scientific training and a certain period spent in the revenue bar and on dealing with Treasury matters, one has tried to adduce a mass of evidence to support the case which one is trying to put. But I'll try and put the statistics in as human a way as I can, if that is at all possible.
So let me start with the facts. All of you in either science or law—and the wiser ones in politics—will know always one says, ‘First find the facts.’ Now, most people say that the distribution of incomes in wealth in Britain is highly inequitable, that it’s changed little despite the steps taken by government to even it out. And from that assertion, it’s only a short step to two complementary arguments; either that redistribution would greatly swell the incomes of the average man, or that the wealth of the rich is sufficient to finance the substantial extension of the role of the state. I think both are conducive to the attitude that there is something that you can redistribute to make us better off, or, if the state spends more, it’s not we who pay but somehow it’s the other people—neither of them attitudes which I think we would particularly wish to encourage in the modern state.
Now, fortunately for my purpose tonight, a major study has just been published by the newly created Royal Commission on the Distribution of Income and Wealth and it gives the first proper statistical picture of the changes that have taken place in Britain between the last war and the year 1972–73, the latest year for which figures are [end p2] available. So may I now quickly tell you its findings? Because these are the facts on the distribution of income and wealth in Britain.
Let’s start with income, and of course the relevant income is income after tax. And we find that, in 1972, incomes after tax in Britain were divided up roughly as follows. At the upper end of the scale, the top one per cent of income earners got four per cent of incomes, or four times the average. If you take the top ten per cent, they had twice the average. And if you take the bottom ten per cent, a bit under half the average. Now, if you look at it, from half the average income at the bottom to four times the average income at the top, is not really a very wide range of incomes. It’s not dramatic by any set of rules. Indeed, research has shown that the distribution of incomes in Britain is surprisingly similar to that in Poland—which is a rather shattering conclusion to reach.
Now, that's where we were in 1972. So let us have a look at the changes over the previous forty or so years. And you find then that, taking account of tax, the share of the top one per cent of earners, which used to be 12 per cent, now has … is now 4 per cent. So it’s come down over forty years from about 12 per cent to about 4 per cent. And the share of the taxable income of the poor has not increased to quite such a great extent, but they're markedly better off in relative as well as in absolute terms than they were before the war. Because by 1972 the tax free benefits in cash and kind added about a half to the pre-tax income of a typical household in a bottom ten per cent, and for poor families with many dependants the gain could be nearer 100 per cent.
Now, those are the income figures. They show quite considerable changes over forty years, but at the moment in Great Britain the range of incomes is not unduly wide.
Now, let’s turn quickly to have a look at wealth. Of course, capital assets have been more unevenly spread than incomes in Britain, and this is so in most countries, and for this reason they have been the chief target of the egalitarian critics. Because in Britain it has become almost an undisputed truth that ten per cent of the population owned 80 per cent or 90 per cent of all the assets. But in fact that is not so, because the Royal Commission has now really set out the actual figures. And you find that the top ten per cent of the population over eighteen own less than half of personal wealth when state pension rights are counted as an asset, as they should be.
As you’ll appreciate, even these figures can be misleading, since wealth is normally unevenly distributed between the old and the young and often unevenly distributed between husbands and wives. If these distorting factors were properly allowed for, the picture could look still less extreme. But as with income, there've been enormous changes over the last forty years. Let me just give you some indication. In 1911, the top one per cent of the population owned 69 per cent of the wealth. By 1938, it had come down to 50 per cent. By 1960, it had come down to 38 per cent. And by 1972, it had come down to 28 per cent and to 16.5 per cent if pension rights are included in wealth holdings. So you have had again an enormous redistribution of wealth over the years.
So, if one looks at that, you find that the facts about economic inequality in Britain are these: that the rich are getting poorer and the poor have so far got richer. It’s due both [end p3] to market forces and the actions of government through the tax system. But if you look at the scope for further redistribution now, there's very little left, because it’s no longer the case that taking further money from the rich will make a significant difference to the wealth of the bulk of the population. We've come to the end of that road. Nor will taxing them more heavily pay for much more government spending. So those are the facts on equality over the years and the redistribution of wealth and income, and most of us believe that we have now come completely to the end of that road. So that is the first section: What are the facts?
Whatever ordinary people actually want, there does remain in Britain a powerful and vocal lobby pressing for greater equality, in some cases even, it would seem, for total equality. And one tries to analyse what is it that impels them to do so. Well, of course, one imp- … one pressure is the ordinary desire to help our fellow men. But often the reasons boil down to an undistinguished combination of envy and what might be called ‘bourgeois guilt’. Envy is clearly at work in the case of the egalitarian who resents the gap between himself and those who are better off, while conveniently forgetting his own obligations to those poorer than himself. Bourgeois guilt is that well-known case of guilt and self-criticism that affects people, not only the very rich, when looking the other way at the position of those poorer than themselves. It’s not for me as an individual to criticise their doubts and worries. But as a politician, I must criticise the attempts of such people to impose on others a programme of impoverishment through the medium of the state. Because that brings happiness to no one, except to those who impose it. Because, in a free society, they can give away as much as they want to, to whom they want to, and whenever they want to. They don't have to say, ‘I will only give mine away, if I can compel you to give yours away too.’ [end p4] In a free society, if they believe in pooling their possessions with others, they're welcome to do so.
Now, the point of this section is that it has been shown there is a far less general desire for equality, as opposed to equity, in Britain today than is often claimed. And that is the end of that section. We've looked at the facts about equality. We've looked about whether the people want it—and they don't appear to want further distribution. They're more interested in growth and the creation of wealth.
Now, can I turn to the third section? A vital one: Is what is called ‘socialising’ the National Income good for the economy? Because we rarely have the evidence to look at. The promotion of greater equality, of course, goes hand-in-hand with the extension of the Welfare State and state control over people's lives. Universal and usually ‘free’—in inverted commas—social services necessarily transfer benefits in cash and kind from the richer to the poorer members of the community. So taken together they define rather well this process of socialising the National Income, which occurred in my first quotation.
Now, how far has that process strengthened the economy? Because, if it hasn't strengthened the economy, you haven't the means to carry on, let alone improve your welfare. And one of the lessons we are learning in Britain is that you must, first of all, have the creation of wealth before you can put so much attention on to its distribution.
Now, of course, the public sector has been a large part of the British economy since the early post-war years. And what's happened has been—and I think the figures will amaze you—the government share of the Gross National Product has steadily got higher and it’s been higher than in Britain than in most other countries and today the state controls well over half our National Income. In fact, this year it is about 56 per cent of the Gross National Product is controlled and spent by the state.
Now, of course, the bill has risen sharply too particularly for the private citizen. And in the later fifties and sixties, the increase in tax and social security payments in effect knocked about one per cent off the growth of private spending each year. This is a characteristic of the massive transfer of resources from the private to the public sector and, corresponding to that, an enormous increase in taxation. And this, we think, has been probably one of the major sources of inflationary pressures, because, if you look at the taxes paid by the average wage-earner, you find that the proportion he's paid to the state—that is, the proportion over the control of which he cannot decide; the state does the spending of his money—the proportion steadily increased.
Let me take a typical earner: a man and wife with two children on average industrial earnings. Typical. You find that since 1963, not very long ago, the state has increased its take from the average salary from a negligible 5 per cent to about 25 per cent today. Now, that's the chap on average industrial earnings. In 1963, he used to pay in taxation, direct taxation, 5 per cent of those average earnings to the state. Now, he pays 25 per cent to the state. And, of course, you can imagine what's happened. He's said, ‘Well, I want to keep my net taxed income intact.’ And therefore it has been [end p5] quite a strong factor in his demanding more wages and salaries to replace what in effect he… has been taken away in tax.
So they've press their employers for ever higher wage increases, and this has lead to a relentless acceleration of cost and price increases since that time, since the mid-1950s, when it was 2 per cent per annum rate of inflation, to now when you told us, Mr President, reminded us that it’s 25 per cent. And so, of course, they have also pressed not only for increased pay but for increased growth sometimes financed by inflationary policies. Because, of course, it’s one thing to have increased government expenditure when you've got genuine increased growth. It’s quite another thing to go on increasing government expenditure when you have got no growth. And this is one of the things which, of course, has put many of our budgets into a very difficult position now.
Now, there are many who regard the desire for private spending as rather irrational and unworthy. ‘After all,’ they say, ‘the taxes have financed a substantial growth in the provision of public goods.’ Any economist will tell one that this is a part of increased living standards, but what you find is, that people want to spend their own money to buy what they want when they want it. And they do not regard the substitution of state provided services as equivalent to spending their own money and in their own way.
In a curious way, the attitudes in calling some things ‘free’ has led to the belief that the state services are really an absolute right and a kind of manna from heaven. Now, we've come to the end of that time. They're not manna from heaven. Government expenditure is private taxation or borrowing for which the citizen has to pay. I know you will find that this has a familiar sound with some of the problems that you have to deal with now.
So that is how the average person has reacted to what is called ‘socialising’ the National Income. And you've got this paradox: please, he expects the benefits to come from somewhere, but he's not prepared to go on paying more for them himself. He'll demand increased wages and salaries and sometimes inflationary financed growth to do so.
Now, we've also had a curious effect on the economy on the labour market. Because, as you have more of the expenditure capacity transferred to government—and remember I said that in Britain government controls 56 per cent of the expenditure of the Gross National Product—so more of your people have moved out of the private sector into the public sector employment. And so, when we have had a period of growth in Britain, we've no longer had a pool of labour for your manufacturing and productive industry to draw on. And this, of course, has also had a great distorting effect on the labour market itself. So you've got the difficult effect of taxation. You've got the distorting effect on the labour market itself.
You've also had very heavy taxation on companies. Companies have suffered from a number of factors. First, their profits have steadily reduced. Secondly, they have had to pay increased corporation tax. You found, therefore, that the entrepreneur has been [end p6] able to get less and less back for his effort, and he's not in fact prepared to put the money into his own company or to risk the money in equity, if he's not going to get the return for his effort.
Now, you're aware in Britain that we have had a great wage inflation. And it has been thought impossible, in fact, ever to put on any form of wage restraint, unless at the same time you put on restraint on profits, restraint on prices, restraint on dividends. That also has had a great effect on the economy. If you put restraint on profits, you found, in fact, that you were not making sufficient profits properly to invest for the future. If you put restraint on prices, as we have also done, the prices were not high enough to enable the companies to make enough profit. And so you consequently come up against the position whereby our companies have not been able to get the prices, because of price control, to make the profits which are necessary to make the investment which is necessary to provide the growth and the jobs tomorrow.
Now, can you see where they cycle's got us to? Taking too much into public expenditure has meant trying to raise extra taxes. People have rebelled against that. They therefore have demanded extra wages. The companies have suffered, because we've had to have a certain amount of wage control, with price control, with profit control, so that companies have suffered also from extra taxes, also from loss of profits.
Now, you've had a third economic factor which I must just refer to briefly. Because government couldn't raise all the money it wanted to from taxation, it’s had to resort to borrowing. Because it’s had to borrow so much, it’s had to compete for limited funds, and the interest rates have gone up. Because people could not get a good return from equities, because of profit, price and dividend control, they have often preferred to put their money into government stock. That has again starved the private sector of money with which to develop.
You might think this is all very economic. Of course it is, because what I am describing is the actual experience of thirty years of concentrating on distribution, too much, really at the price of not putting enough into the growth of the economy and creating wealth. And so you can see that we've had problems really brought about by transferring far too much from the private sector into the public sector.
Now, these factors are there for all to see. There have been a number of other problems. You can imagine that if pension funds and insurance funds have not been able to get sufficient back in dividends, that they are in difficulty with keeping up the pensions with the rate of inflation. And one has to remember that the vast majority of dividends, certainly in my country, don't go so much to private holders of equity as to institutional holders of equity for their insurance and pension funds.
Now, these in fact are the economic effects of what has been happening in Britain. Now, you can't in fact ever carry on improvements—and I as a Secretary of State for Education and Science often wanted improvements, often wanted more money for science, for scientific research—unless in fact you get the growth, unless in fact you concentrate on creating the wealth. And, if you're going to take the heart out of people [end p7] by taking away so much of them [sic] in tax, you will find very quickly that you will not have the incentive to get the extra growth.
There is just one other effect that I would like to refer to in Great Britain about the incentive effect of taxation. It has been particularly damaging on middle and upper management, because we've found that the level of tax—and I must remind you that the top level of tax on earned income in Britain is 83 per cent and on unearned income or savings income 98 per cent—the level of tax has been such, that it’s not been possible for our companies to pay our management as much as they could get in other countries in net taxed income. And so we have found that, supposing you took a manager who is on a net taxed income of some eight thousand pounds per annum, and his company wanted to promote him to a top job and give him a net taxed income of twelve thousand pounds per annum. So you'd take him from a job he's in at the moment to a top job, from eight thousand net to twelve thousand net. How much in Britain would you have to give him extra? The answer would be an extra fifteen thousand pounds per annum. And, of course, it hasn't been on.
What you find is, that if you look across the continent in France, you will find that they've been able to pay their managers less but get a much higher net taxed income. And the result has been that if, in fact, British companies put some of their top managers into Europe or elsewhere on French salaries at French levels of tax, they couldn't get them back because we couldn't in fact pay them a big enough gross salary to give them the net income.
Now, all of these in fact have been the economic effects of pursuing far too much equality, and I think we have very much now come to the end of the road. And, in fact, we find that the persistent expansion of the role of the state, beyond the capacity of the economy to support it, and the relentless pursuit of equality has caused, and is causing, damage to our economy in a variety of ways. It’s not the sole cause of what some have termed the ‘British sickness’ but it is a major one.
Now, what are the lessons then that we've learned from the last thirty years? First, that the pursuit of equality itself is a mirage. What's more desireable and more practicable than the pursuit of equality is the pursuit of equality of opportunity. And opportunity means nothing unless it includes the right to be unequal and the freedom to be different. One of the reasons that we value individuals is not because they're all the same, but because they're all different. I believe you have a saying in the Middle West: ‘Don't cut down the tall poppies. Let them rather grow tall.’ I would say, let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have the ability in them to do so. Because we must build a society in which each citizen can develop his full potential, both for his own benefit and for the community as a whole, a society in which originality, skill, energy and thrift are rewarded, in which we encourage rather than restrict the variety and richness of human nature.
End of quote. That wasn't written by a quiet capitalist who'd escaped from Czechoslovakia. It was a quotation from the action programme the Czechoslovakian Communist party adopted in the Dubcek days of 1968. Unfortunately, of course, Dubcek went. But the lesson is that even they had learned or were learning that the unbalanced pursuit of equality leads to an insufficiency of resources.
Mr President, nothing that I'm saying tonight should in any way been seen as a diminution of our recognised responsibilities to those people who through physical, mental, or social handicap suffer disadvantages. Rather, it is a consciousness that unless we have incentive and opportunity, we shall not have the resources to do as much as we want to do. And having been a Secretary of State for Education, I am the first to understand that.
Second, our second lesson, we must strike a proper balance between the growing demands and powers of the state and the vital role of private enterprise. Private enterprise is by far the best method of harnessing the energy and ambition of the individual to increasing the wealth of the nation, for pioneering new products and technologies, for holding down prices through the mechanism of competition, and for widening the range and choice of goods and services and jobs.
Finally, we must measure the economic and political demands of some of our people against their consequences, and we must have regard to their effect on our political and social framework. In the coming months in Britain, we shall all be thinking particularly of the achievements of the United States in the two hundred years of it’s existence and of the lessons your country can teach the rest of the world. May I therefore conclude with a modest hope that you will also spare a few minutes to learn from our recent experience? Because it shows how essential it is to escape from the facile arguments, which both our countries have experienced, and to reaffirm before it’s too late those true values which both our countries traditionally have shared. Those values have never been more important than they are today.
How about the rest of the world? What do you think of multi-national corporations? Where does England fit in the rest of the world? I've been saying to my friends that we in the United States are probably down the social road twenty years behind England, and I think this is what we have to face, but I think you've gone so far. And I spent three years at Oxford and I love England. My first wife was English and I have a lot of… I have a number of English clients. But I just don't see where you are going. All you said, Mrs Thatcher, was brilliantly said, was an internal, an internal [end p9] statement about England's problems internally. But England is now faced back, having lost the Empire, to a small island with fifty-five thousand people and where—fifty-five million, I beg your pardon. I think you understood that. But, er, but where are you going individually, assuming that you are only with yourself? And where are you going with respect to the multi-national corporations, the Common Market, and the rest of the world?
Yes, now, Mr Wells, if I've only given you the impression that I've given an account of internal things, I haven't got the message across. Because the message really is twofold and it applies to all democracies. First, that although in the early stages you probably pursue equality to reduce inequality, you've got to balance equality with equality of opportunity. The two are entirely different. Equality is one thing. Equality of opportunity is another. The other thing you've got to balance is the demands of the public sector with the kind of incentives that you've got to give the private sector. Now, those are really universal lessons.
Now, what has happened in Britain, I think, is certainly that we have not balanced the latter two. We've got far too much in the public sector and far too little left in the private sector. You have not gained sufficient incentive in the growth sector, which is the private sector, because in Britain 97 per cent of our exports come from the private sector. You also have gone too far in that you've not given enough attention to equality of opportunity, and you've given too much attention to redistribution of incomes. Now, those are universal lessons.
I've tried to outline the way in which I think we should go to try and get our economy right. We mustn't spend money we haven't got. We have been doing quite a lot of that, and I understand that even in parts of this great country you might have problems in that direction, and there are therefore universal lessons.
So all right, we have problems. We have spirit to get out of them. But in the meantime we have been doing quite a good fair international whack in international negotiations, and we're going absolutely along the right road, both as far as commodities are concerned, as far as conserving the use of commodities is concerned, and on recognising that, as well as a redistribution of wealth within nations, there is also going on a kind of redistribution of wealth between the developed and developing nations. We must recognise that and we must in fact see that it goes at a rate that will satisfy their demands and in fact be acceptable to our own peoples. All international negotiations are a matter of acceptable compromise. Please, we're not doing too badly. All right, Mr Wells? [inaudible response]. Oh, you're a great sceptic! [laughter].
You’ll be the next Prime Minister! [applause].
Please, and then I'll turn to my left.
Ma'am, Mrs Thatcher, I think this has been a perfectly exciting evening. I've enjoyed it enormously and your statement of the problems and the policies have been perfectly wonderful. One thing that you overlooked, and which we've had a great problem in the United States, is the fact that, er, we have these little pressure groups who have changed our whole government. They have asked for more than they were entitled to and been able to receive it. The great majority in America has not been organised. As I listen to you this evening, I hear no evidence that the British people, as great as they are, and I'm sure that the great majority want to have the kind of a world that you're talking of, are not organised. How can we get the majority … the majority over-ruling the pressure groups who have special interests beyond anything else?
Now, I went back very carefully over all the economic speeches of the post-war years and I found that sometimes politicians had been saying the right things ever since the end of the last war—‘You cannot live beyond your means’—and then promptly providing budgets where nations did live beyond their means. And what [end p11] happened was that the people said, ‘Well, you say we can't live beyond our means, but for thirty-five years we have been going on expanding our expenditure.’ And then, all of a sudden, they're quite surprised when fundamental truths do actually turn out to be fundamental truths and when reality arrives. Because over-spending gets cumulative and you are now up against reality.
Now, reality is always the best time for politicians to get sound views across. It is also a thing which neither the politicians nor the people can ignore, because it’s a time when you have to take active steps to put things right. And I think the reality has arrived for us. I think, in certain geographical townships and cityships in the United States, reality might have arrived here too. But, you see, it does mean that we too as politicians—and economists, because economists also have a responsibility. There was a school of economics which said, ‘A little inflation is a good thing. It lubricates business,’ and a little got a little bigger, and a little bigger, and a little bigger, and then it got a lot, and then it got out of hand.
Just have a responsibility to return to your sound financial rules. See that they're practised and see that you do get the growth before you get the rising public expenditure. In the end, it will give a higher standard of living and it will give a much better standard of genuine welfare to those genuinely in need. Of course in the welfare services there are other problems of incentives, and those who are not perhaps necessarily those who are quite so genuinely in need as others, and the problems, the gap between what you can earn if you work and what you get without working, which is a fundamental problem too. | 2019-04-22T10:53:02Z | https://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/102769 |
In many contact centers, agents have to transition among multiple systems to access all the information needed to answer customer queries. This process not only is frustrating for agents, but also increases resolution time dramatically. Having access to the right information at the touch of a button can lead to vast efficiencies in call processing, including increased first call resolution and reduced average handling time.
Further, as consumers become accustomed to the simplicity of finding information on the Internet using Google, agents are expecting similar search tools in their call center environments.
Learn why Google's enterprise search solutions are becoming increasingly popular in contact centers, and how they can help your business improve critical metrics such as first call resolution and average handling time. | 2019-04-23T19:52:38Z | https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/509/1715 |
THE Labour Party has made the first positive and considered move in the interests of the abused from the industrial schools. This is a month after the publication of the Ryan report but in the light of what the party is offering, there is no harm done in the waiting.
The party tabled a bill in the Dail on Thursday that seeks to amend the law on the vexed issue of criminality arising from the committal of young children to industrial schools through the district courts. The exoneration is as comprehensive as it could be.
The bill also seeks to amend the Redress Act in respect of victims of abuse who failed to make claims in time, or were excluded because the institutions to which they were committed were not listed in the schedule of institutions covered by the Act. This is another key issue for a number of men and women who have been blocked by it during the past 10 years.
A third matter addressed by the bill is also one of serious and deep concern to many of those who went through the difficult and arduous redress appeal system under the Redress Act. This is the imposition of secrecy on all who accepted money from the Redress Board with very severe penalties for default. These ranged from a €3,500 fine or six months in prison up to a €25,000 fine or two years in prison, or both. No defaulters among the religious orders for concealment, dishonesty over documents, or for perjury, had such criminal fines outlined in the legislation.
The fourth important issue covered in the bill is the protection of documents, both those collected and filed over 10 years by the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse and the personal documents submitted to the Redress Board. These are a State heritage and the bill recognises this. The bill also recognises the need to free all the documents connected with the indemnity deal from restrictions which precluded them from the Freedom of Information legislation. There is a desirable addition to this: the inclusion of all the documents pertaining to the Cabinet decision in 1999 to embark on this inquiry and redress road.
Wisely, Joan Burton and the two men promoting the bill, Pat Rabbitte and Ruairi Quinn, both of whom have a long-standing involvement in the issue of the abused, concede that the bill might sensibly be taken over by the Government. This would resolve its financial provisions. It came as some surprise how little attention this Labour Party initiative attracted. After a month of the media wallowing in the more sensational aspects of the Ryan report, this virtual ignoring of a positive and sensible move to alleviate real distress among the abused is regrettable.
It would be logical to expect that this move by the Labour Party came out of the recommendations of the Ryan report. No such logic prevails, however. Despite the enthusiastic agreement of all the politicians in the Dail to endorse and support those recommendations, which was done unanimously, they are seriously defective and do not address any of the issues now covered by Labour's proposed Institutional Child Abuse Bill 2009.
Indeed, the Ryan report recommendations are predominantly concerned with future protection. This is in spite of the fact of 10 years of hearing evidence of shameful cruelty to industrial school inmates. The commission had two obligations when it came to making its summary of recommendations: the first was to alleviate distress among those who had suffered abuse; the second to prevent or reduce abuse from now on. Sixteen of the 20 recommendations belong in this latter category and are therefore aspirations -- they have little or nothing to do with the content of the 1,250 pages of the report. The four that directly address "the effects of abuse on those who suffered" are little short of trivial.
One is for the memorial with Bertie Ahern's suspect apology inscribed on it.
Another is for making "counselling and educational services available". These have been available for the greater part of the past 10 years and are currently in a growing state of flux and uncertainty, with the HSE unable to deliver adequate personnel.
A third calls for family tracing services to be maintained.
The fourth and longest is pious, but makes little material sense. It suggests that "the lessons of the past should be learned". These include "failures of system and policy" as far as the State was concerned and "breaches of their own rules" as far as the religious congregations were concerned.
This hints at, but does not address, the fact that it was not their own rules that the congregations breached. It was the law of the land as well as the State's clear-cut rules for running the industrial schools. This invited a recommendation about implementing the law more effectively. But the commission avoids that.
Successively, it also avoids all the objectives outlined in Labour's bill. Judge Sean Ryan referred on a number of occasions directly to the committal procedures and these are dealt with in limited form under the heading "Gateways", meaning the ways used to commit children. Yet no recommendation is made about that issue.
Judge Mary Laffoy struggled, when she was chairperson of the commission, over getting access to documents cleared and in getting a better response from the Department of Education. The innumerable applicants among the abused who appeared before the Investigation Committee or the Confidential Committee made clear their troubles over this, over criminality, over the legal side of their complaint.
Nothing of this is reflected in the four recommendations designed to alleviate their suffering which means, what we have always known, that their suffering will not be alleviated.
What kind of report is that? How does it actually alleviate the state of mind of the victims? Where are they left, other than to read, on the memorial which the politicians have endorsed about the State's "collective failure to intervene to detect their pain, to come to their rescue"? | 2019-04-21T07:01:03Z | http://www.brucearnold.ie/pages/political_files/first-sensible-move-for-victims.html |
KOKO—CHAIRMAN of Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State, Mr. Aduge Okorodudu, has appealed to the Federal Government and Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to create a Computer Base Center, CBC, in Koko, to enable students from riverine parts of the state access the facility with less difficulties.
Okorodudu made the appeal in Koko when he played host to students of secondary schools in the area.
His words: “Students from Warri North are traveling to other places to sit for JAMB examination because the local government does not have a CBC. This is sad and unacceptable.
Okorodudu assured JAMB of adequate land to build a CBC in the area. | 2019-04-25T07:54:37Z | http://www.deltans.com/jamb-urged-to-site-computer-base-in-warri-north/ |

Limor has been a T.A. member since 2006.
What do you do? I’m the General Manager of Concerts and Lectures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Before that, I was an Adjunct Curator for Performing Arts at the Whitney and the Executive Producer for Music at WQXR. I’m also a mother and a huge fan of T.A. and bikes.
When did you start biking? I grew up in Israel, in a small town near Tel Aviv, and my brother taught me how to ride there. When I moved to New York to go to college at Julliard, I started biking in New York, and that’s when I really fell in love with it.
Why? I was in a new and exciting place, and it was a new and exciting way of getting around. It was way before any bike lanes, before helmets. I’d just go down Broadway to school. To think of it now!
What has kept you cycling? Everyone who rides a bike knows this, but when you experience a city by bike, it changes your awareness of everything: neighborhoods, connections, architecture. In the subway, you just select your stop, and you’re airlifted. If you take the train from the Upper East Side to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, you have no idea about that institution’s relationship to Manhattan or Fort Greene or Prospect Park. No sense of its community and conversation. On a bike, a lot of that is absorbed along the way. It’s this perfect side effect.
There’s also this sense of comfort. I feel like I own the city in a way that I don’t otherwise. When I bike to Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center and lock up outside, I feel like I’m supporting these cultural institutions and the city that holds them together. It makes me feel comfortable; it gives me a sense of intimacy with the architecture.
What’s your favorite ride? I have so many, but I always think of my first job after college at BAM. I’d ride most of the year, but not the harsh months. When spring came, I’d always feel like they’d tuned up the whole Brooklyn Bridge — as though the cables were shorter and so the bridge was steeper — and as the year went on, they’d slowly tune it down. I love riding over the Brooklyn Bridge thinking of its tuning.
Do you often see other people on bikes arriving at, say, the Metropolitan Opera? No, not often. Biking and opera both need to be normalized even more before that can happen regularly in New York. So often, cultural events and bikes become a big deal—these things that need a careful approach and certain clothes—and I understand why, but they’re also just great things that you can do everyday.
Do you think Citi Bike will help with that? Will it make cycling easier? My first experience with bike share was in Paris, and it was amazing. I was there for a week of meetings—five meetings a day, all over the city—and I rode to all of them. New York’s system needs to expand before that’s really possible, but when I’m downtown, and I see an empty Citi Bike rack, my heart sings with joy.
How would you improve your everyday bike commute? My daughter is 11, and I ride with her to school in the morning. She goes to school near Central Park, and if the park were completely car-free, I would let her ride by herself. I think we need a car-free park, and we should have a kind of middle school Occupy Central Park to get it. I want the thousands of kids who go through the park each day to band together and together and say, “Enough is enough!” What better way to get cars out of the park? | 2019-04-20T21:41:32Z | https://www.transalt.org/news/magazine/2013/Summer/5 |

Modeling and simulation of molecular systems have become inseparable components of modern research in molecular biology. In particular, molecular dynamics simulation is increasingly used to investigate the mechanism and structure-function relationship of a wide range of biological macromolecules. The course will present a brief introduction to such methodologies, and uses membrane proteins as an example of how computational biophysical methods and simulation technologies can be applied to biological problems. The molecular systems used as examples will include biological water channels, as well as carbon nanotubes as artificial materials used in nanotechnology. The goal of the course is to walk the participants through various steps involved in modeling, simulation setup, and analysis of the results of molecular dynamics simulations and discuss what can be learnt from simulation studies of these systems. The lectures are accompanied by hands-on tutorials in which the students can set up and run simulations on their own.
This workshop, hosted by Emad Tajkhorshid, will take place on November 28 – December 1, 2011. It is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in computational and biophysical areas. Working familiarity with the VMD and NAMD software used in the workshop is assumed. Streaming video of a recorded lecture, tutorial self-study, and Skype/phone contact with the instructor are used to deliver course content. Enrollment is limited to ten participants. There is no fee for the workshop. | 2019-04-24T22:15:52Z | http://memprotein.org/online-workshop-on-simulating-membrane-channels-hosted-by-emad-tajkhorshid |
Will Syria Remain a Unified State?
What stands behind much of the violence in Syria is the rise of Arab Sunni fundamentalism in its various forms – whether Salafi, Wahhabi, or Muslim Brotherhood? All of these threaten the very existence of the Alawites, the Kurds, and other non-Sunni ethnic and religious groups.
While the news is filled daily with terrible atrocities which the Syrian regime is carrying out, these reports mask another development: the breakup of Syria into at least two, if not more, statelets. Is Assad trying to create an Alawite homeland in the traditional Alawite area along the Syrian coast between Lebanon and Turkey? Will Syria end up being a federated state, more along the lines of Iraq? And where are Syria's Kurds headed?
Reports from various sources inside Syria and from the defectors and refugees whom al-Jazeera has interviewed in northern Jordan reveal that the war in Syria has descended into a sectarian war, primarily between the ruling Alawite minority and the Arab Sunni majority.
One of the places that the Assad regime has been most violent is against the Sunnis living in the Alawite traditional homeland and in Homs, a largely Sunni city just to the east of the Alawite heartland. Assad's forces have been destroying Sunni villages in that area, and wreaking havoc on Homs. As the Sunni refugees in Jordan – mostly from the Homs area – who were cited on al-Jazeera on July 4 noted, "The regime has turned this into a sectarian battle between itself and the Sunnis. It is killing the Sunnis in Homs and forcing other Sunnis to flee that area.
Clearly, the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad understands that the trend in the Middle East is towards Islamic Sunni fundamentalism, supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Wahhabis, the Qataris, and Turkey's Sunni fundamentalist leadership.
The regime knows that in the long run, it cannot stand up to these forces -- possibly the reason Assad and his cohorts are doing everything they can to destroy the Sunni fundamentalists and perhaps hoping then to retreat to the Alawites' ancient homeland.
Another sign that the Syrian Sunnis are abandoning Assad is the defection of Manaf Tlas, a senior Sunni Syrian military official – a childhood friend of Bashar Assad, and whose father Mustafa was a close ally of Bashar's father Hafiz, the previous dictator who ruled Syria with an iron hand.
Since 1966, Syria has been ruled by the Alawite minority, who make up about 12% of Syria's population and live mainly in the coastal area between Lebanon and Turkey. As the Alawites historically would do the distasteful work which the Sunnis refused to do, the Syrian Sunni Arab establishment traditionally looked down upon them, referring them as as "abid," or, roughly "slave."
Also, as Alawites believe that Ali – the Muslim prophet Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law – is God, Sunnis do not see them as monotheists, and often therefore do not even accept them as Muslims.
During the 1940s and 1950s, the Sunnis, who did their best to avoid military service, gave their Alawite servants recommendations to enter the military. As they rose to higher and higher ranks, the Alawites eventually, in 1966, took over Syria in a military coup.
Members of Alawite community have all along felt conflicted: should they see themselves as Arabs and try to attain, through Arab nationalism, the equality they lacked among the Sunnis? Those who accepted this view became the most ardent Arab nationalists in Syria; their hope was that speaking Arabic as the Sunnis did would serve to gain them the equality that was eluding them under Syrian traditional system, in which being Sunni was a key element to advancement.
Others within the Alawite community, who disagreed with this approach, argued that they would never be accepted by the Sunni majority as equals; and instead strove to attain an independent homeland in their traditional homeland: the Syrian coastal area between today's Lebanon and Turkey.
In the early 1940s after the French had ruled Syria from post-World War I until 1946, Suleyman Assad, the grandfather of Syria's present leader, Bashar Assad, and about five other Alawite leaders wrote to the French government asking the French to let the Alawites have their own state in their homeland along the coast. These Alawite leaders claimed that the Sunnis had never treated the non-Sunnis fairly, and that therefore, in a united Syrian state, the Alawites would continue to suffer serious discrimination. They cited as evidence the way the Sunnis were at that time treating the Jews in British-Mandated Palestine.
Given the present trend towards Sunni Islamist rule throughout the region, the non-Sunnis clearly feel threatened. Christians have been leaving the Middle East in droves. Shiites in Bahrain, although they form the majority, are ruled by an oppressive Sunni minority who use brutal force and who, earlier this year, called in their Sunni Saudi allies to subdue the Shiites, who were calling for equal rights. Syria's Druze, Ismailis, Christians and other minorities seem to be terrified about what might happen to them if the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood takes over there.
If one views Assad in this context, there is a real possibility that Syria will not stay united, and that the days of Arab nationalism are over. Islamist Sunni fundamentalism is the enemy of the non-Sunnis, who, to survive, will likely have to look for other political alternatives beyond the present borders, and possibly ally themselves with fellow non-Sunni Arabs in the region.
Similarly, the Kurds in northern Syria, who are directly connected to the Kurdish territories inside Iraq, although also Sunni, see the Muslim Brotherhood and the Wahhabis by and large as Arab imperialists trying to force them to abandon their Kurdish identity and become Arabs -- probably the reason most Kurds loathe the Muslim Brotherhood. For the Brotherhood, being Sunni is not enough. For the Brotherhood, only Arabs can be true Muslims. Non-Arabs must abandon their non-Arab and non-Sunni languages and cultures, and adopt an Arab identity -- exactly how most of the Middle East became Arabs during the first century of Islam.
If the present violence in Syria does not come to an end, Syria could easily disintegrate; the northern part of the country would become a Kurdish entity – either within a loosely federated, geographically altered Syria, or possibly even as an independent state. If either of these were to happen, Iraqi Kurds, who have been politically counseling the Syrian Kurds, could form an alliance with Syria's Kurds who inhabit an area which reaches west almost to Aleppo, a city not far from the Mediterranean Sea. If the Kurds then made some political arrangement/alliance with a future Alawite state, they could gain access to the sea . This would be a major step towards the establishment of an independent Kurdish state.
In short, what stands behind most of the violence in Syria is the rise of Arab Sunni fundamentalism in its various forms – whether Salafi, Wahhabi, or Muslim Brotherhood. All of those threaten the very existence of the Alawites, the Kurds, and other members of the non-Sunni ethnic and religious groups.
It is therefore much easier to understand why the ruling Alawites feel they are fighting a life and death battle with the Sunnis, and why they believe they must spare no effort to survive. It also explains why most of Syria's other minorities – such as the Druze, Ismailis, and Christians – still largely support the Assad regime.
This is another masterpiece by an expert who knows the Arab and Muslim societies' politics, culture, and history extremely well. | 2019-04-24T18:59:28Z | https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3157/syria-unified-state |

It turns out that working for the Chicago Cubs isn’t all that different from being a student at DePaul. Sure, you’re more likely to run into a celebrity, catch a foul ball and possibly eat more hot dogs, but you’re also part of an organization with deep Chicago roots where collaboration and camaraderie are key. We asked several alumni employed by the Cubs to explore these similarities.

You may have never thought of yourself as a beautifully engineered, temperature-controlled, walking eco-system; however, your body happens to be a living eco-sphere.
Our belly contains several pounds (yes, pounds!) of helpful bacteria that help us with things such as digesting last night's kebab and killing fungi or harmful bacteria that have managed to find their way into the gut. Good bacteria is a vital part of our immune system, and when the bacterial balance is off, we're off too.
CAN'T I JUST EAT MY PROBIOTICS?
Yes. And no. Plenty of food sources out there are chock full o’ probiotics: Kombucha, kimchee, yogurt, sauerkraut, kefir, miso, and sour pickles, to name a few. When we're healthy, balanced, and feeling fine, there's generally no need to supplement. And the more diverse your intake of probiotics, the better since every single different probiotic brings something unique to the game.
If we're feeling just a little out of whack, then increasing the intake of probiotic food sources can sometimes be enough to straighten out our systems. If we're feeling a lot out of whack, then something more is needed. Food-sourced probiotics tend to provide a single strain of bacteria that has a short life span. Eating Dannon Activia® yogurt every day will help regulate digestion (and keep Jamie Lee Curtis happy). However, once you remove it from your daily diet, you're back to where you started due to the fact that the type of bacteria it provides only survives for about 24 hours since the strain is unable to make a permanent home in the intestines. If your intestines are under duress, you'll need to add supplemental probiotics that contain the right combination of bacteria known to take up long-term real estate in the gut for at least a month to get everything back in order.
WHEN SHOULD I TAKE SUPPLEMENTAL PROBIOTICS?
Any time your digestion is thrown off. This occurs after the flu, during a hangover, post-food poisoning, post-surgery, postpartum, PMS that affects your stomach, or bouts of diarrhea. This is especially true for individuals who have a history of diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, or other chronic gut issues.
If you're under a lot of stress. Never underestimate the damaging effects of stress on the body. It can alter brain-gut interactions and induces intestinal inflammation that often leads to severe or chronic belly pain, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. Probiotics help moderate intestinal inflammation and protect the intestines.
If you've taken antibiotics. Medications designed to kill bacteria indiscriminately annihilate all bacteria – including the friendly type. Western doctors who are onboard with this will often recommend taking probiotics once an antibiotic regimen has been completed. However, I recommend taking high potency probiotics 2 hours after ingesting oral antibiotics. Sure, a lot of the good bacteria will get killed right away, but enough usually survives to help your gut maintain some semblance of normalcy until the next oral antibiotic dose. If you're on an antibiotic being delivered via I.V., the dose is constant and strong, which means any probiotic taken while you're on the I.V. will not survive. It's best to wait until you're off the intra-venous antibiotics and are able to eat.
If you're going through chemotherapy. Chemo wreaks havoc on all systems, but especially the digestive system. If you're unable to keep food or pills down, you can get probiotic powder that meets all the criteria listed below for "good probiotics." I'll sometimes have patients dissolve the powder in a thermos of warm water with fresh ginger and a little Blackstrap molasses to help settle the stomach. You can sip on the mixture throughout the day in small doses.
If you have an auto-immune disorder or are on immunosuppressants. For individuals with auto-immune disorders, digestive complaints are a common issue, and probiotics are generally able to provide relief when combined with a modified diet. Almost all auto-immune disorders have an inflammatory component; it has been discovered that probiotics help moderate certain inflammatory responses associated with auto-immune. If the immune system is being suppressed with immunosuppressants, such as corticosteroids or medications used for organ transplant recipients, it's important to help secondary immune functions in the intestinal tract in order to fight infections or secondary illnesses.
If you have severe acne. Not all acne is create equal. Severe cystic acne is indicative of a body struggling towards balance. There are many underlying causes, and healing is therefore multi-faceted. An excellent starting place is bringing bacterial balance back to the body, and probiotics are a great first step.
If you have a yeast infection. Many women have experienced yeast infections after completing antibiotics, the reason being that the good bacteria which controls yeast was also killed and leaves the body open to attack. Either way, during a yeast infection (an overgrowth of candida) it's important to take probiotics internally and externally. Yes. Externally. More to come in a later post.
If you have abdominal bloat. Some people always feel as if they're carrying extra weight in the abdomen and can't seem to maintain a flat stomach, even when they feel strong in their core. In some cases that "last 5 pounds" may be swollen intestines pushing the abdomen out from the inside rather than an actual layer of adipose tissue (stored fat). Probiotics, with diet modifications, can help decrease the inflammation and flatten out your stomach.
If you have funky bowel movements. Abnormally strong smelling bowel movements, even those you earned from an indulgent night out, are a sign your intestinal ecosystem balance is off and may need some help. Alternating constipation and diarrhea is another red flag, as are bowel movements that are long, thin, and misshapen. Ribbon-like BM is a sign that your intestines are swollen and constricting matter on the way out. Probiotics in combination with diet modification will help turn the tide to smooth sailing.
Amy starts taking a high-count probiotic as soon as she starts her antibiotic; however, she's careful to take it about 2 hours after taking the antibiotic.
She continues her probiotic for 6–8 weeks after the course of her antibiotic treatment to ensure she stays on track.
...but does not report any food sensitivities (such as gluten) or other chronic health issues.
Barry begins by taking a daily 50 billion count probiotic for 3 months.
After 3 months, he switches to a 15 billion count probiotic.
SCENARIO A: Six months after starting his regimen, Barry is symptom-free and is able to stop the regimen. He knows if his symptoms occasionally return that he can repeat the same strategy.
SCENARIO B: Six months after starting his regimen, his symptoms haven't been resolved. Barry will need to get tested for food sensitivities and try an elimination diet since his discomfort is most likely medication or food related.
... and went gluten-free about 6 months ago. She's been feeling much better; however, she's still struggling.
Catherine takes a 30 billion count daily probiotic, which does not contain prebiotics or yeast.
She gradually works up to 2–3 capsules per day unless there is a problem. If she begins experiencing additional gas, bloating, or discomfort, she can back down to 1 capsule per day.
... and is struggling with nausea and loss of appetite.
He uses an enteric-coated powder probiotic with a potency of 100 billion. David mixes the powder in a thermos with warm water, fresh ginger slices, and Blackstrap molasses to make a drink that he can sip on throughout the day. The mixture settles his stomach somewhat.
As soon as his chemotherapy is over, David takes a daily 70 billion count probiotic for 3 months.
After 3 months, he switches to a 50 billion count probiotic for 3 another months.
Six months after treatment has been completed, David switches to a 30 billion count probiotic and rotates between brands every 3 months to ensure microbial diversity.
Enteric-coated: In order for the probiotic to work, the good bacteria need to make it past the stomach acid alive. Most health food stores have a variety of different forms, and you can even find enteric-coated power that can be mixed with liquid if you're unable to take capsules.
Live culture: If the probiotic is on the shelf past the expiration date, or if it's not labeled as "live culture," it won't be able to reproduce and attach to the inside of the intestinal tract.
magic happens. Different companies offer different strain combinations, and what works depends on the individual. It may take some trial and error to figure out which one works best for you.
Culture potency between 15 to 70 billion: The absolute minimum amount of bacteria to maintain the belly for most people is 15 billion. If in a recovery phase from intestinal distress, you will need something between 50 to 70 billion. Doses that exceed 70 billion are only needed if you're going through chemotherapy or are on heavy immunosuppressants. Otherwise, too much can have an adverse effect and cause diarrhea.
GMP Labeling: The product should have GMP (stands for "Good Manufacturing Product") stamped on it. This means it meets regulatory requirements, which guarantees that potency claims and ingredients statements on Supplement Facts label panels are accurate.
SHOULD I TAKE PROBIOTICS WITH FOOD?
Check the manufacturer's labeling. The general rule of thumb is to wait at least 2 hours after eating so that it has a clear track to the intestines and there's not as much stomach acid for it to contend with. The other method is to take it 15 minutes or so before a meal.
"Prebiotic" is the term used for foods that the good bacteria who already living in your digestive system like to eat. Foods such as asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, bananas, oatmeal, red wine, honey, maple syrup, and legumes keep the good bacteria alive and kicking. You can boost the effectiveness of probiotic foods by combining them with prebiotics.
Because the flora of your gut is unique to what you eat, where you live, and the other people you come in contact with (yes, you share gut flora with whom you live) - there's no single "best brand". Rather, it's the right brand that's right for you. Finding the right supplement may take a little trial and error; if you're not feeling a noticeable positive shift in your belly within two weeks, move on to another brand.
The probiotic I usually recommend to patients is Renew Life's Critical Care because it seems to work for most people and you can pick it up in Whole Foods or most health food stores. It needs to be refrigerated, so be sure to purchase it from a retailer that maintains it correctly. They have started to produce a shelf stable line; however, to date what I've seen clinically is that the refrigerated brand still seems to work best.
Another probiotic that's been known to work miracles is Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics Professional Formula. I discovered him through a colleague and have fallen in love with the product line. It's the only shelf-stable (i.e., non-refrigerated) one I've found that seems to really do the job. You can purchase it over the counter from Westerly Natural Food Market on the UWS; otherwise, you will need to order it directly from his website. The price is around $60 a month.
Probiotics will help, but they're only part of the equation. Food is medicine, and probiotic supplements cannot act as substitutes for good overall food decisions. When used alongside a healing diet, probiotics can make a sustained difference in your long-term preventive health.

Depending on the severity of the TBI, the changes can be mild and temporary or permanent and profound. Almost every case of TBI will have some unfortunate effect on the survivor’s closest relationships.
New personality traits can emerge that challenge the status quo between partners. Someone who was previously confident and in charge may become timid and diffident, forcing his or her partner to take the lead in the relationship for the first time.
The balance of power in a relationship can become destabilized. A former wage-earner may now be dependent on a spouse and caregivers for the most basic of tasks while recuperating and rehabilitating. This can be demeaning to them and cause frustrated and angry outbursts at their dependency and physical limitations. Emotional lability can cause tearful episodes that are emotionally draining for all.
The new normal may mean that the spouse of the TBI patient must take on unfamiliar responsibilities that may be burdensome. Mowing the yard, doing household repairs, navigating the family finances, changing diapers and bathing children may all become the responsibility of the TBI patient’s spouse. Resentment and feelings of being overwhelmed are common.
This can also affect the TBI sufferer’s self image. If he prided himself as a take-charge guy who brought home the bacon and shoveled the snow, seeing his wife struggle to do the same strikes a blow to his pride.
The same applies to a mother and homemaker who kept a spotless house and chauffeured perfectly dressed and coiffed kids to activities. Seeing her husband attempt to replicate her abilities is frustrating.
Dealing with the psychological repercussions of a TBI can be a lifelong process. Any proposed settlement for at-fault accidents should include compensation for psychological damages as well as physical. | 2019-04-22T06:35:45Z | https://www.azevedonelson.com/dealing-with-intimate-relationship-changes-after-brain-injury/ |

Per the EDS call 09/28/12, we should produce this feature, demonstrate it to a customer that needs it, and include it in the next available EDS Roll up after.
Currently there is no mechanism in Teiid, when a query is submitted to a runtime engine that is passed through the query engine unadulterated and unmodified and submitted directly to a source connector. All queries are parsed, optimized, re-written. Some times this limits the functionality in Teiid, when a user would like to execute a query that is very "source" specific. For example Oracle supports lots of Oracle specific functions that are not supported by the SQL spec, to support execution of these in Teiid user need to resort to UDF, which is cumbersome and involves modelling.
Another benefit of this is also to pass DDL to sources, currently since Teiid does not support DDL, this is not possible at all.
with TEIID-2176, TEIID-2177, and the existing native-query support I'm marking this issue as resolved as to limit what it covers.
New issues can be created to cover incremental improvements or some form of a pass through query mode directly from the client.

Since the inception of Rob Has a Podcast, listeners have wondered if Boston Rob would ever appear on the show… wonder no more. Boston Rob Mariano from Survivor Marquesas, Survivor All-Stars, Survivor Heroes vs. Villains and the season that made him a winner, Survivor Redemption Island joins Rob Cesternino is the most extensive interview of Boston Rob’s Survivor career.
Rob Cesternino starts by talking with Boston Rob about Survivor Philippines and his take on whether he likes the three tribe format of the game. Boston Rob has played many different variations of the game, including Survivor All-Stars where there were also three tribes. Rob thinks it was a mistake for the Kalabaw tribe not to vote out Denise Stapley this week when they had the chance. Rob C. asks how come Boston Rob didn’t vote out Jenna Lewis and Rupert Boneham on Survivor All-Stars when they were in a similar position and Boston Rob explained his thinking from that game.
Rob C. brought up the medical evacuation of Dana Lambert from the game this week and how that compared to Boston Rob from Survivor Heroes vs. Villains the famous case of Crybaby-itis. Rob says that it’s a real thing that got brought on from severe dehydration, much like what happened to Russell Swan on Survivor Samoa. Boston Rob also discusses knowing Mike Skupin from charity events that the older players used to attend back in the day. Rob is excited for Skupin to return to the show for this season. Boston Rob also likes Jeff Kent but may be rooting for him more if he had ever played for the Boston Red Sox.
– What were his plans for Survivor Heroes vs. Villains had Tyson decided not to switch his vote. What could Rob have done differently to change his fate in the game?
– His thoughts on his decision to vote out Hunter Ellis early on in Survivor Marquesas. Why did he decide to take out Hunter and what did he learn about the game?
– What does Rob think now about his decision to not save Lex on Survivor All-Stars after Lex didn’t vote Amber Brkich out of the game. What does Rob wish he could change about how that whole situation was handled?
– How did Boston Rob end up working so closely with Phillip Sheppard during Survivor Redemption Island?
– Which of his seasons had the toughest weather conditions?
– Would Boston Rob be open to possibly replacing Jeff Probst if Jeff decided he didn’t want to host Survivor any more?
– Plus, what exactly happened in Survivor: All-Stars when the two Robs played the game together on the same tribe? What really was the downfall of Rob Cesternino that season?
It’s a Survivor interview spanning Boston Rob’s last 11 years of playing Survivor. For a Boston Rob fan, this is truly the interview that you’ve been waiting for. | 2019-04-22T00:36:35Z | https://robhasawebsite.com/boston-rob-mariano-survivor-interview-philippines/ |
wife died in a circus act -- she threw knives!"
So May Anderson, who lived in this house, shot apples off her husband's head for a living.
She must have been good, as he lived longer than her. However, whoever threw the knives was apparently not a good a knife thrower as she was a sharp shooter.
Note that Delores also said that the house had been known as the Ole Graham's house and that her dad, Bruce McCourtney, had been best friends with Ole's son.
Visit May and Garcy in the middle of the southwest quarter of the Table Rock Cemetery. Now you know what they look like, and a little bit about them. Consider what an exciting (and probably hard) life they must have led with their circus act. She was 59 when she died in 1932, the tragic victim of a knife. | 2019-04-19T04:35:41Z | https://www.tablerockhistoricalsociety.com/tragedy-at-the-circus----the-andersons.html |
