Spend a penny campaign
Spend a penny campaign
Over the years St James Mangotsfield has undergone many changes since it was built by William du Putot Sheriff of Gloucester, as a Chapel of Ease between 1222 and 1228. The chapel was built as part of his manor house.
The manor house was demolished in 1846 to make the graveyard bigger and in 1851 the Church was exstensively and drastically reconstructed. But there has always been one very important thing missing from the church.
SPEND A PENNY CAMPAIGN
We hope to raise over £25,000 to put a toilet in the church
St James Mangotsfield will beholding a Gift Day on Saturday July 27, the Church will be open from 10am to 4pm for fun and laughter and to think of all the gifts we could give not just the gift of money.
There will be children's activities including a cup cake and create a garden competition and for the adults — our baking competition with a difference — the winner will be chosen by popular public vote.

Veteran prop Jeremy Latimore has provided his St George Illawarra comrades with a valuable insight into his former Cronulla Sharks teammates ahead of Thursday night’s local derby at Southern Cross Group Stadium.
Latimore, who joined the Dragons this season after a year with the Sharks, revealed coach Paul McGregor had asked if he could provide any tips on the 2016 Telstra Premiership winners.
''He asked a few little things but I am a middle so I don't really know too much about what their game plans are,'' Latimore said.
''They have got a style of play and it is physically coming and letting teams know that they are there to play.
''After being there I know that is their mentality. They are a gritty team, and I think come the mid-point of last season Cronulla were the best defensive team and then they fell away so I know that is something they pride themselves on.
''There is a lot of tough, old boys there who pride themselves on getting off the line and physically overpowering their opponents.''
The Sharks were outgunned 20-14 by the Cowboys last Friday, while the Dragons triumphed 34-12 against the Brisbane Broncos 24 hours earlier, but Latimore said it was impossible to gauge form after just one round.
However, he believes the Dragons forwards will need to be as physical as they were against the Broncos to overcome a pack featuring Paul Gallen, Wade Graham, Andrew Fifita and Matt Prior.
The Sharks have a new look backline after signing Matt Moylan from Penrith Panthers and ex-Dragons international Josh Dugan, who has been tipped to switch from the centres to fullback.
''Games against Cronulla are always won in the middle,'' Latimore said.
''That is where their strengths are, they have got Wade Graham, big Fifita and Gal in the middle, and Matty Prior.
''If we win through the middle I think we can nullify their threats. Matty [Moylan] is still finding his feet, Dugan will come with a point to prove so it will be a good game. It's up to us as the middles to take it to them.''
Latimore and Leeson Ah Mau made an impact for the Dragons last Thursday night when they interchanged with starting props James Graham and Paul Vaughan and lock Jack de Belin.
The well-travelled 31-year-old said they would be looking to do the same against the Sharks.
''There is a bit of a siege mentality for both teams,'' he said.
''You don't want to give one to the opposition and it is a bit of a pride thing to win the local derby.
''They have had a bit of success in the last couple of years and the Dragons have missed the finals so it is a new beginning for us. It is about consistency and doing it every week. We've got aspirations to be a top team so we have got to go out there this week and do that.''
Dragons captain Gareth Widdop, who celebrated his 29th birthday on Monday, said the team would be looking to build on their performance against the Broncos when they meet the Sharks in one of the NRL's most keenly contested derbies.
''The local derby at Shark Park is always one of the best games to play throughout the year so I think everyone is pretty fired up to get out there,'' Widdop said.
''It is what it is all about, playing these big games and testing yourself.
''We have certainly got a good roster and with the squad we have got there is no reason we can't do special things this year but we know it takes a lot of hard work and this competition is so tough.'' | https://www.dragons.com.au/news/2018/03/15/latimores-lowdown-on-sharks/ | 2018-10-15T17:36:23 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

StarWarp Concepts' first e-book-only title!
Once upon a time, an evil queen desired to be “the fairest of them all.” But as long as her beautiful stepdaughter, Snow White, lived, the queen could never claim that title. Something, the queen decided, would have to be done about this intolerable situation....
Snow White, written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (aka The Brothers Grimm) and first published in 1812, celebrates its 200th Anniversary in this StarWarp Concepts’ special e-book-exclusive edition, which features five lush, full-color illustrations originally published in 1883.
About the Authors:
Jacob Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859) were renowned scholars who began gathering German fairy tales during the early 1800s. They published their first collection, Children’s and Household Tales, in 1812; a second volume followed in 1814. In 1819 they were recognized for their work by Germany’s Marburg University and presented with honorary doctor: | https://www.drivethrucomics.com/product/99868/Snow-White?manufacturers_id=3811 | 2018-10-15T17:15:04 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The Communal Cleaning Service is available to all residents in tenement properties and multi storey blocks. This service has been introduced as part of our commitment to improving environmental standards for residents. Before introducing the service to a particular location we will survey all residents. We will only proceed when at least 50% of the residents/tenants are in favour. If the block contains a mixture of tenants and owner occupiers then all owners in a block must agree for the service to proceed. What does this Service Cost?The cost of this will be added to the weekly rent charge. Please contact either housing office for the current charge. All tenants who receive housing benefit will have their benefit increased so that they will have nothing to pay for the communal cleaning service. Owner occupiers will have to pay monthly in advance. What can tenants do to help?Tenants can help the communal cleaner in their job in a number of ways by: maintaining the communal areas in a clean and tidy condition between weekly cleans reporting any acts of vandalism bringing to the caretaker's attention any potential problems inside or outside the block making suggestions on how the conditions in the block could be improved What is the Role of the Communal Cleaner?

A $26 million beach nourishment project completed by Southampton Town and oceanfront residents of Water Mill, Bridgehampton and Sagaponack, New York nearly five years ago was named one of the nation’s best “restored beaches” by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association—the second such project on the South Fork to have been recognized by the group.
The project as a whole has statistically seen zero loss of the millions of tons of sand pumped ashore in the winter of 2013-14, although the restored beaches have held up better in some places than in others thus far.
Halfway through its forecast effective life, the project has been repeatedly heralded as a resounding success, well worth the hefty price tag for the homeowners and residents of the entire region. Southampton Town contributed approximately $2.5 million to the project cost, as the owner of four public beaches in the reach.
In the wake of severe erosion caused by Superstorm Sandy in areas that were already suffering from accelerated erosion, the town and the owners of 141 oceanfront properties cooperated to organize a massive restoration of some six miles of beaches between Flying Point in Water Mill and the East Hampton Town line in Sagaponack. The town agreed to borrow the millions it would cost to pump sand from offshore and pile it along the oceanfront in the dead of winter, and the oceanfront homeowners agreed to be taxed over the ensuing 10 years to cover about 90 percent of the costs.
The project has benefited from a relatively benign period of weather events since it was completed. There have been no tropical weather systems directly impacting Long Island—as there were in 2011 and 2012, after a 20-year lull—and only a smattering of strong nor’easters prior to this past March.
The series of strong storms in March did deal the most hobbling blow to the bolstered beaches, taking large bites out of the sand and dunes in front of three homes in western Water Mill, just east of Flying Point Beach.
But the designers of the project have celebrated the fact that, along much of the project’s reach, beaches remain in the neighborhood of 100 feet wide and have started to rebuild natural dunes between the flat beach and the artificial dunes shaped out of sand piled up by homeowners.
Aram Terchunian, whose Westhampton Beach-based firm First Coastal conceptualized and designed the project, said that resilience of the engineered beaches thus far is a testament to how a properly shaped beach holds up to storms. Having also been the architect of the beach nourishment in West Hampton Dunes, which was given an earlier ASBPA award as well, Mr. Terchunian said he’s most pleased with the natural form the engineered beach has taken on.
“They have their criteria: projects that are successfully engineered, have broad public acceptance and tangible environmental benefits,” Mr. Terchunian said. “I have a much simpler criteria: If you can walk on the beach and you can’t tell that it’s been restored, that’s a good beach.”
Mr. Lignelli said that other regions should be looking at undertaking similar projects, either privately funded by the adjacent homeowners or publicly funded by all residents who benefit economically and socially from having broad beaches.
“There needs to be a lot more money spent on the beaches in the Hamptons,” he said, spotlighting the erosion issues at Montauk’s popular beaches and the sandbag sea wall that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employed to protect private property to save on costs.

US-China emissions deal: Industry reaction
Earlier today the world's two most polluting countries unveiled a climate pact which will see China cap its emissions output by 2030, and the US cut its emissions to 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2025.
Experts shared differing views, even from within the same organisation
The industry reaction was vociferous and diverse, as experts shared different views, even from within the same organisation. The agreement was described as a massive symbolic step, an empty unambitious gesture and everything in-between.
---Read full coverage of the agreement here---
John Sauven - Greenpeace UK executive director
.
"The targets announced are not yet as ambitious as scientists say they should be if we are to stop the worst ravages of climate change, but this a solid foundation stone for world leaders to build on. The EU should now lead the charge for greater ambition, building on its historical leadership and in the interests of its own clean tech sector.
"For the UK government, this should be a wake-up call.."
Li Shuo - senior climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace East Asia.
Asad Rehman - Friends of the Earth international energy campaigner
."
Carol Werner - Environmental and Energy Study Institute executive director
This new deal between China and the United States to lower greenhouse gas emissions is great news for fighting climate change globally, and an inspiring model as the world's nations discuss crafting a global climate deal in Paris 2015. EESI applauds these two global leaders for taking great strides together to deal with the crisis of climate change.."
Andrew Steer - World Resources Institute CEO
"It's a new day to have the leaders of the U.S. U.S. and China should be commended for putting their initial pledges on the table so early. This should inject a jolt of momentum in the lead up to a global climate agreement in Paris.
"The U.S. target shows a serious commitment to action and puts the U.S. on a path to reduce its emissions around 80 percent by mid-century. This pledge is grounded in what is achievable under existing U.S. law. However, we should not underestimate the potential of innovation and technology to bring down costs and make it easier to meet--or even exceed--the proposed targets.
"China's pledge to increase non-fossil fuel energy and peak emissions around 2030 as early as possible is a major development--and reflects a shift in its position from just a few years ago. But it will be very important to see at what level and what year their emissions peak. Analysis shows that China's emissions should peak before 2030 to limit the worst consequences of climate change.
Jennifer Morgan - Director of Climate Program at WRI
"Make no mistake, more needs to be done. The U.S. U.S. and China should make it a race to the top, catalyzing other countries to announce their targets and build momentum leading up to Paris. Today's announcement is a big step in that direction."
James Cameron - Chairman of Climate Change Capital, the environmental investor
'dirty' investments.
"We now need to make the investment community feel comfortable with low carbon and the complexities involved. This may need the setting up of large scale companies in this area. At the moment some people have difficulty in dealing with what, to them, are too many small players in the low carbon world. China's involvement is vital in the fight against emissions and we expect their interest to be both global as well as domestic."
Mark Kenber - CEO of The Climate Group
'developed."
Wang Yi - specialist in environmental and climate change policy at the Chinese Academy of Sciences:
There are many studies that have concluded that, with efforts, around 2030 is a reachable goal. In setting an emissions peak goal, we have to consider the cost. China could reach a peak next year, but then we couldn't develop at all. You have to ask: What will the cost be, can you handle it, what technological means will you use, do you have the funds and the laws to support the goal?
It's a goal we can reach, but it will require work. If it were earlier, the cost for China would be too heavy. The biggest difficulty is that the demand will still be there. Urbanization won't be completed, industrialization won't be over and there will still be these large regional disparities. The eastern regions will be quite developed, but there will still be poverty in the center and west.
If you want to peak in 2030, then you have to have a goal for 2020, and that goal needs to be allocated to the provinces.
Al Gore - former US Vice-President
President Xi Jinping's announcement that Chinese emissions will peak around 2030 is a signal of groundbreaking progress from the world's largest polluter. President Obama's commitment to reduce U.S..

Aiming for Literacy Across Two Generations, Even Start Teaches a Parent To Reach a Child
Judy Bitner beams as she tells how her daughter, Ashley, at age 7, has already written her first book as part of a school project to encourage young authors. Her 3-year-old son, Bodie, meanwhile, is gaining an early appreciation of the written word from the stories his mother now reads to him each day.
But the 27-year-old single mother also has plenty to boast about in her own right. While Bodie attends an early-childhood program, Ms. Bitner pursues her own studies in an adjoining classroom in this central-Illinois community. Besides working on her own book--a project in which she takes obvious pride--she is honing her math, reading, and writing skills so she can earn a General Educational Development certificate. At the same time, she is mastering techniques to help stimulate her children's learning.
Ms. Bitner is a participant in Even Start, a federally funded program that combines adult-literacy and parenting training with early-childhood education in an effort to break the cycle of illiteracy that often passes from parent to child.
The Pekin Even Start Family Education Program provides educational services for parents and children, separately and together, at a center based in a technical high school. It also offers home visits every two weeks, helps link parents with services ranging from housing to health care, and hosts family activities with social and educational themes.
The lessons Ms. Bitner is learning are aimed at helping to boost her confidence, so she in turn can raise her children's expectations.
"I've learned that by giving them praise instead of harsh words and scolding, I can get them to feel they can do things if they just try and set their goals high,'' she says.
At the same time, "I want to hurry up and get my ç.å.ä. and get my college courses,'' adds Ms. Bitner, who has set her sights on becoming an electrician. "Before the program, I thought there was no way.''
The Pekin program, which was funded in August and fully launched by the local school district in January, is one of 240 Even Start projects nationwide. Federal spending for Even Start has more than quadrupled since its inception, rising from $14.5 million in 1989 to $70 million in 1992.
Now that appropriations for the program have topped $50 million, the law that established Even Start provides that the next cycle of grants will be awarded by states rather than by the federal government.
The shift from federal to state administration has raised concern among some grantees about whether states will maintain the consistency of Even Start's philosophy. In an era of tight budgets, some also wonder how they will find the funds to sustain their programs if their federal grants are not renewed.
Even the most well-established projects, meanwhile, have faced challenges enlisting participants and meeting a wide range of family needs. Moreover, preliminary research suggests that some have had difficulty involving families fully in all of the program components--particularly adult basic education. (See related story, below.)
Still, early data assessing the skills of young children in the program appear promising. Experts think it holds promise as one strategy to help meet the first national education goal, set by President Bush and the governors, that by the year 2000 all children enter school ready to learn. Many also view it as a model approach to at-risk families.
"It can become a catalyst for change in the way we look at education,'' said Sharon Darling, the president of the National Center for Family Literacy in Louisville, Ky.
'Intergenerational' Effort
Passed as part of the 1988 reauthorization of Chapter 1, the federal remedial program for educationally disadvantaged students, Even Start is the largest effort to date in an increasingly popular genre of "intergenerational'' programs aimed at fostering the literacy and competence of children and their parents at the same time.
Interest in the family-literacy movement has burgeoned in recent years, amid estimates that one in five adults lack basic functional literacy.
The National Center on Family Literacy maintains contact with 300 such projects nationwide and estimates there may be as many as 3,000 programs with family-literacy components. Working with 25 other national groups, the center held the first national conference on family literacy last week in Chapel Hill, N.C., and plans to publish a book this summer offering recommendations from the gathering.
A precursor to Even Start was the federal Head Start program, which set out to brighten the educational outlook for disadvantaged young children through a comprehensive preschool program linked with social and health services and highlighting parental involvement.
But Even Start backers saw the potential to do more. The program helps parents build skills to "climb the ladder out of poverty'' while cultivating a value on literacy in the home, Ms. Darling noted.
Ms. Darling helped develop a model for a set of projects funded by the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust and based on Kentucky's Parent and Child Education program. The model is now used by many Even Start grantees.
"We know from the adult-literacy side that as [parents] start valuing education, they feel more capable of supporting the education of the child,'' Ms. Darling said.
Other efforts "have focused on the adult, the child, or maybe on the adult learning how to help the child,'' observed Mary Jean LeTendre, the director of compensatory-education programs for the U.S. Education Department. "But they were not really requiring that time be set aside for the family to work together.''
A Blend of Services
Representative Bill Goodling of Pennsylvania, Even Start's chief Congressional backer, said the idea for the program emerged from a project he started some years ago as a school superintendent in Spring Grove, Pa.
"I didn't think anything was working very well by trying to deal with either adults in adult education or children [in remedial education],'' the Republican lawmaker recalled, noting that community surveys had revealed a pattern of dropouts among members of the same family.
Disadvantaged young children involved in a home-visit program he had launched appeared more ready for school, he explained, and "for the first time parents felt a part of the community and had confidence to get involved in schools.''
Recognizing that the existing fragmented system of serving families could result in uneven programming, Mr. Goodling has underscored the need to ensure that programs incorporate a blend of services for children and adults.
Mr. Goodling said he frequently admonishes grantees that if he finds adult-education, early-childhood, or Chapter 1 officials "trying to take the ball and run with it by themselves, I would work just as hard to defund the program as I did to fund it.''
Because Even Start activities can be funded through multiple sources and complement preschool, adult-education, welfare, vocational, and job-training efforts, said Ms. Darling, the program could serve as a model to marshall collaboration and redirect existing resources.
"Let Even Start be a demonstration to say this works better than what we currently are spending our money on,'' she suggested.
The approach "has exciting implications for the way we do business in Chapter 1 in general,'' said Ms. LeTendre. "We haven't placed as much emphasis on the parent as we should.''
'A Better Mood'
The four-year Even Start grants provide "seed money'' for ongoing projects, with the federal share falling from 90 percent the first year to 60 percent the fourth year.
The Pekin program, which is funded at about $290,000, currently serves about 30 families with children up to age 7. Most of the parents receive some form of public aid, none have completed high school, about three-quarters are single mothers, and nearly three-quarters first became pregnant as teenagers.
The population of Pekin, a largely working-class community outside Peoria, is about 32,000. The city has one of the highest teenage-pregnancy rates in the state, and unemployment has swelled as a result of an extended labor dispute at Caterpillar Inc., the heavy-equipment manufacturer that is the area's largest employer.
Even Start families, who must live in areas targeted for Chapter 1 services, are referred by such sources as schools, churches, the state department of children and family services, and local administrators of a federal nutrition program for women and children. Referrals also come from the Tazewell County health department, which visits the home of newborns considered at risk, and from a developmental-screening program conducted by the school district.
The program is open to biological or foster parents or legal guardians who have not completed high school or a G.E.D. or who do not read, write, or speak English fluently.
Some parents carry with them painful legacies of child abuse from their own past, and some enter the program at crisis points, such as leaving an abusive partner or becoming homeless, notes Marti A. Woelfle, the coordinator of Pekin's program.
It is plain when some participants arrive, Ms. Woelfle observes, that they have not been eating regular meals.
Those with the most severe problems often need the most coaxing and have to be physically escorted by relatives and friends, she notes. But those initially reluctant participants frequently end up going to great lengths to attend and rarely miss a day.
"It gives them a support system in the community'' and adds structure to their lives, Ms. Woelfle explains.
Ms. Bitner says that before she entered the program, "I would have been staying up all night and sleeping until noon.'' Her son, she adds, was often irritable.
"With this schedule it seems like he's in a better mood,'' she notes.
Rock, Cuddle, and Read
Participants visit the center three times a week for about three hours, either in the morning or afternoon. Parents, children, and staff eat breakfast or lunch and settle in together--all the while "modeling'' good table manners and airing pressing concerns--before dividing into groups.
In between naps and diaper changes, infants are rocked, cuddled, and cooed to in a colorful room with cribs, strollers, and soft toys. Preschoolers play and explore areas set aside for sand and water, music and movement, and quiet time, based on a model recommended by the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation. Children of all ages are read to, encouraged to explore books, and get lots of verbal feedback to prod language development.
Most of the teachers have backgrounds in early-childhood education and are experienced in working with families. All of them have received training from the National Center for Family Literacy. Additional help is provided by child-care students in the vocational school that houses the center, who are graded on their work.
In the adult classroom, parents keep journals and do other writing assignments, often related to parenting. They work on self-paced or assigned study materials tailored to their academic goals, and get guidance on how to prepare a budget, interpret a lease, or apply for a job. They also discuss news articles and children's books, plan activities to do with their children, and talk through discipline and other family concerns.
"You plan topics for the day, but sometimes a parent brings the activity,'' notes Jeanne Tifft, one of the adult-education teachers.
In a recent session, for example, the discussion centers on consoling a mother who has recently abandoned a troubled marriage and is living with her children in cramped quarters with friends.
"Allow us to help you so you can help your kids,'' advises Ms. Tifft, who appears to have recognized signs of stress in the mother that could adversely affect the children.
Parents are encouraged to take home books to read on their own and with their children, and a portion of the day is set aside for parents and children to play, read, tell stories, and participate in "hands on'' art or other projects under the tutelage of center staff.
Parents are required from the start to set goals for themselves and their children. Projects they complete together at home or at the center are placed in portfolios that help chart their progress.
Tutors work individually with parents who need extra academic help. In addition, time is set aside for parents to volunteer at elementary schools and work with their school-age children and their teachers.
Collaboration Critical
To reinforce the center sessions, each family is visited every other week by one of the teachers, who reads with them, demonstrates educational activities, and offers parents feedback and advice.
Without embarrassing or belittling parents, teachers try to help parents maintain order while steering them away from abusive or inappropriate discipline methods, says Judy Patterson, an early-childhood teacher. They also stress ways to help spur learning without pushing children to read and write before they are ready, she says.
While she sees progress from visit to visit, Ms. Patterson observes, a traumatic event or shift in routine--such as a child spending the night at an absent parent's home--can dramatically change the tenor of the encounter.
"You wonder what happens when you're no longer with them,'' she says. "I wake up at night thinking about the families.''
Besides the center- and home-based activities, the program brings in experts to lead discussions; helps orient parents to libraries, parks, and other community resources; and sponsors family dinners and outings that are open to relatives and friends. Plans for a summer program are also under way.
A critical element, Ms. Woelfle points out, is the network of agencies that help refer families and offer continuing support. Those links, she says, have been instrumental in helping parents find emergency shelter, counseling, or other help.
The network includes some 50 organizations, including charitable agencies, schools, colleges, city and county services, courts, parks, churches, libraries, businesses, hospitals, and stores.
Educating Teachers
When Even Start was announced, Ms. Woelfle says, it was seen as the logical "next step'' in a process that began several years ago, when Jerry L. Parker, the superintendent of the Pekin schools, involved district educators and members of the community in the first of a series of strategic plans for the next five years.
"A major element of the plan was to help families support their children's education,'' notes Michele Maki, the director of special programs for the district. Officials also recognized, she adds, that a state preschool program for at-risk 4- and 5-year-olds did not accommodate the schedules or educational needs of many parents.
The plan gave Pekin an advantage in enlisting community support for Even Start, says Ms. Maki, who notes that in applying for the grant, the district garnered "letters of collaboration'' from some 25 agencies.
"I think we became the catalyst for a lot of these agencies that feel kind of isolated'' and saw a chance to share common concerns and pool resources, says Mr. Parker, who adds that a "dream'' of his is to extend that level of cooperation throughout the education system.
"With so many groups involved, communication is one of the biggest challenges,'' says Ms. Woelfle.
Weekly inservice sessions for Even Start staff members often revolve around learning about the work of other agencies, and the program also "educates teachers about how to deal with dysfunctional families,'' Mr. Parker notes.
Many of the parents say they have learned to be more patient, and they report progress in their children's verbal and social skills, concentration, and behavior. They also talk about the time they spend reading with their children and about gaining new ideas for activities and discipline.
"These are things I never thought of,'' says Ms. Bitner.
"I anticipate that because of their early involvement, these are going to be some of the best-involved parents,'' Mr. Parker concludes.
'The Long Walk'
A key challenge for the project, however, is to draw more parents.
Staff members try to contact families who have been referred within a week, and they make repeated efforts to extend the invitation, notes Ms. Woelfle. But even though more than 150 prospective candidates have already been identified, the program is not full.
Some potential participants lack telephones and are hard to reach, says Ms. Woelfle. For those with painful school memories, she adds, "taking the long walk to go through that door is a challenge.''
But the four-month-old program is expanding as word spreads, notes Ms. Woelfle, who is negotiating for more room at the technical school but foresees outgrowing that space as well. An elementary school would have been an ideal site to ease the transition to school, she observes, but all are filled.
Evening activities are held in elementary schools, however, and Even Start staff members take pains to familiarize school workers with the program and to consult with the teachers of Even Start children, Ms. Woelfle notes.
The program has not had much luck attracting fathers for daily activities, especially those with day jobs. But some attend family activities, and five have enrolled in evening adult-education classes, Ms. Woelfle points out.
Facing Funding Fears
Like other Even Start grantees, project leaders in Pekin have some reservations about the transition from federal to state administration.
"One concern is that the states may not be as fully cognizant of what the federal government was looking for in the program and may change the focus slightly,'' says Ms. Maki, the district's director of special programs.
"Whenever an established core of people are working with a program, there is a little bit of fear of getting caught up in change of philosophy,'' says Superintendent Parker.
Similar fears were raised by some participants at a recent meeting in Washington convened by the U.S. Education Department for second- and third-year Even Start grantees. Some also raised concern about the potential for awards becoming more politicized at the state level.
"I don't want the decisions regarding funding to be pulled into the political agenda,'' said Dana Berry, the director of a Union City, N.J., Even Start project run by the school district and the city's day-care program.
But project leaders--including those in Pekin--say they hope to keep their projects on track by building strong relationships with state administrators and keeping them informed about their programs. Despite generally good support from the federal government, others noted, the shift to the states may have long-term benefits because there have been lags in communication.
Of greater concern for many is how they will carry on if their grants are not renewed. While most say they are seeking other funding sources, some argue that it would be counterproductive to drop strong programs in order to add new ones.
"I would hope the federal government would see fit to allow programs that have shown rates of success to continue after the fourth year,'' says Janet Dolan, the director of Even Start for the Richmond, Va., schools. "It takes that long to really get moving.''
"It's unreasonable to expect that a local government will be able to add that kind of cost'' in today's climate, said Elaine J. Ruggieri, the director of compensatory education for the Warwick, R.I., schools.
Others, like Ms. Darling, say it is unrealistic to rely on long-term federal aid. They argue that grantees should push to incorporate Even Start into city and statewide family-literacy plans that tap existing welfare, jobs, child-care, and other funds.
Pekin's project leaders, for example, are exploring other literacy and adult-education grants and approaching organizations and corporations, Ms. Maki says.
Assessment Concerns
Recognizing that such support hinges on how well the program can track its effectiveness, Pekin's project leaders are anxious to begin compiling the data required as part of a national evaluation of the project being sponsored by the Education Department. They complain, however, that some of the details and guidance they need have been slow in coming.
Some of the tests the federal government asks grantees to administer are outdated and fail to measure children's full range of capacities, Ms. Woelfle contends. She notes that Pekin plans to supplement those tests with other tools, such as a profile of parents' opinions and childrearing practices recommended by the National Center for Family Literacy and an observation-based assessment from High/Scope.
But for those running the program, Ms. Woelfle suggests, the most powerful validation comes from unplanned moments when a parent, such as Ms. Bitner, sees a child take fledging steps toward literacy.
"So often in schools as a teacher you have opportunities where you
say, 'I wish Mom could see this,' '' Ms. Woelfle says. "Now she
can.''

North Carolina Investment in Teaching Pays
Early-childhood experts in North Carolina were near desperation when they hitched their hopes to a tiny pilot project aimed at improving the training of child-care workers.
A study of the workforce had highlighted the turmoil caused in child-care programs by the poor education, high turnover, and low wages that had long been the standard among those in the field.
That was in 1990, when most child-care workers in the state had little more than a high school education, and the average wage was about $4.50 an hour without benefits. Some 40 percent of the workforce left the field each year.
With about $23,000 in grant money, 21 workers were sent to their local community colleges to work toward associate's degrees in early-childhood education. Their success helped launch a statewide effort in 1993.
‘Really Could Do Something’
"As the field started to look at this issue more closely, there was such a level of depression and a feeling of a lack of empowerment about our ability to do anything to effect change in education, compensation, and retention," says Susan Russell, who started the TEACH Early Childhood Project in 1990. TEACH (the acronym stands for Teacher Education And Compensation Helps) uses public and private money for scholarships for early-childhood workers.
"It became apparent pretty quickly that we really could do something that didn't take huge amounts of money to at least start making a difference in the field," says Russell, the executive director of the Child Care Services Association, a nonprofit research and advocacy group in Chapel Hill, N.C., that administers the $3 million program.
TEACH is now a budding program in 17 other states. The program is expected to spread even more as educators and state lawmakers begin responding to research suggesting that children who attend child-care and preschool programs with trained teachers are better prepared for school than those whose caregivers have little formal training for the job. In North Carolina alone, the program has enabled more than 5,000 child-care workers to earn Child Development Associate certificates, associate's degrees, or bachelor's degrees.
Compensation Up
The North Carolina program, which includes bonuses or raises for early-childhood workers who continue their education and requires recipients to stay in the field for six months to a year, took off under former Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. TEACH will receive more than $2 million in state, foundation, and corporate funding this fiscal year.
By combining the initiative with two other programs--WAGE$, created in 1994 to raise the salaries of low-paid teachers and directors, and the 2-year-old TEACH Early Childhood Health Insurance Program--the state has been able to transform what many saw as poorly paid, short-term jobs into careers.
As a result, the programs have also improved the quality and stability of the workforce, many experts say.
WAGE$ has helped increase compensation--in some cases, by 30 percent or more over time--for more than 8,000 workers in the state.
"What they've done well in North Carolina is focus policymakers' attention on the underlying salary and benefits issue," says Adele Robinson, the director of public policy for the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Since 1990, turnover in North Carolina has dropped from 42 percent to 31 percent, according to Russell.
And last year, for the first time, the number of TEACH recipients working toward a college degree exceeded those seeking a simple, four-credit credential.
"The fact of the matter is there are more teachers in this state with more education around early childhood than ever before, and there are more parents in the state who understand what they should be looking for in a program for their children," says Stephanie Fanjul, who ran the state’s child-development division under Gov. Hunt.

This mid-century inspired muumuu is a great intermediate sewing project and is perfect for throwing on at a pool party or for a stroll down the boardwalk! Pick a punchy cotton print or laid back linen to suite your style.
Things You'll Need
- Sewing machine
- Scissors
- 3 yards of printed cotton fabric or linen
- Measuring tape
- Ruler
- Coordinating thread
- Straight pins
- Fabric chalk or pencil
- Needle and brightly colored thread
- Iron and ironing board
Video of the Day
Step 1: Measure Fabric
Measure and cut two large rectangles the full width of the fabric (selvage to selvage) and 45 inches in length -- these will be the front and back of your muumuu. If you're using a printed fabric with one orientation, be sure it's facing the right direction when cutting, pinning and sewing or you'll have upside down motifs.
Step 2: Create Neckline
Fold one rectangle in half with both selvages aligned to the left and a folded edge on the right. Make a mark at the top edge with fabric chalk 4 inches from the folded edge. Using a straight edge or ruler, draw a diagonal line from this mark 10 to 12 inches down the folded edge, depending on your desired neckline.
Maintaining the fold, cut along the marked line to create a plunging neckline.
Tip
Pressing seam allowances before pinning and sewing keeps widths consistent and reduces puckering.
Fold over a 1/4-inch width of your neckline and press to create a clean edge.
Fold over another 1/4 inch to encase the raw edge and pin before sewing.
Sew a straight stitch along pinned neckline, keeping the presser foot aligned with the folded edge.
Remove pins, trim extra threads and press your freshly sewn seams.
Step 3: Pin and Sew Shoulder Seam
Line up the top edges of your fabric with both printed sides facing each other.
Pin along the top edge (shoulder seam), starting from each side and working towards the neck to avoid over-stretching the neckline.
Sew a 1-inch straight seam along the shoulder line starting from each far side and stopping at the neckline seam.
Fold seam allowances under a 1/2 inch and press before sewing to finish the raw edge.
Fold the back-neck seam allowance under a 1/2 inch to encase the raw edge. Press before sewing.
Step 4: Finish Edges
Finish the hem and sides of the garment by folding and pressing the edges a 1/2 inch before sewing straight seams.
Step 5: Mark and Stitch Inseam
To mark the inseams of the caftan, thread a needle with a contrasting thread color. Using a long basting stitch, mark a vertical line 8 inches into the side your garment to act as a guide for sewing.
Your inseam should be about 24 inches in length, but may be altered if you desire a shorter hemline.
Machine stitch over your basted stitches to create straight inseams on both sides of the garment. When finished sewing seams, remove basting threads by pulling gently.
Give your chic muumuu a final press and trim any stray threads before sporting at soirees!
Tip
Use printable iron-on transfers to create custom labels for your handmade garments!

In 2013, RS-485 celebrated its 30th anniversary of transferring from a recommended standard (RS) to an officially supported version, known as EIA/TIA-485. Over these past three decades, RS-485 transceiver designs have evolved from bulky dual inline plastic and ceramic packages to tiny small-outline beads. In addition drastically reducing the footprint, modern transceivers reduce power consumption, increase noise immunity, and substantially increase upper data rates while offering programmable features that make them versatile for a wider range of system designs.

Functional Principles And Design Benefits
Modern transceiver designs combine versatility with a tiny form factor for a wide variety of industrial, telecommunications, maritime, and building networks (Fig. 1). They comprise two separate power supply inputs: one for logic control functions, and the other for the bus supply. The control supply accepts voltages from as low as 1.65 V minimum up to a maximum of 3.6 V and enables the direct interface to low-voltage FPGAs and microcontrollers. The bus supply, however, requires 3.0 V to 3.6 V to ensure sufficient output drive capability across a wide common-mode range.
While plenty of low-voltage transceivers are on the market, some of them are down-rated 5-V transceivers that run out of gas at low supply voltage, particularly when operated across a wide common-mode range. A quick check of the transceiver data sheet should convince you that your transceiver complies with RS-485 by providing a minimum differential output voltage of 1.5 V across a differential 54-Ω load while being tested across a common-mode voltage range from –7 V to 12 V. Two output characteristics can prove whether your transceiver meets or exceeds these requirements (Fig. 2).
Selecting Data Rates
To address a wide range of applications, a data rate select-pin, SLR, allows for switching between low and high data rates while providing automatic slew rate adjustments to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) with other circuitry. Connecting the SLR pin to the logic supply, VL, sets the transceiver into low-data-rate mode supporting up to 250 kbits/s. Lower data rates with longer rise and fall times are useful in EMI-sensitive applications and in long-distance networks (Fig. 3). Grounding the SLR pin turns allows for data rates of up to 20 Mbits/s at siginificantly shorter bus lengths.
The conventional characteristic can be exceeded through additional signal processing. This can include signal buffering through repeaters and/or signal and clock recovery functions of synchronized or clock-encoded data streams through complex FPGA building blocks and software algorithms.
Long and ultra-long networks typically operate in half-duplex mode between 20 kbits/s and 100 kbits/s and use half-duplex repeaters to cover the long distance. High-speed networks in motor control and seismic applications often cover up to 300 m of bus length at data rates of 5 Mbits/s to 20 Mbits/s. Here, a single data line is either clock-encoded at the driver side and decoded at the receiving end, or a separate clock line is run parallel to one or multiple data lines and propagation-delay compensation is applied at the receiver.
Reusability Through Small Form Factor
To be applicable to many designs, transceivers must be versatile by being configurable for all kinds of operation modes. Three basic topologies are applied in RS-485 networks (Fig. 4):
• A point-to-point data link consists of a dedicated driver and one receiver. Because the data flow is unidirectional, a line termination resistor RT, whose value should match the characteristic line impedance Z0, is only required at the receiver.
• The multi-drop topology also utilizes a dedicated driver but has multiple receivers. Again, RT is only required at the receiving bus end. Both topologies allow for the driver and receivers to be either permanently active or selectively disabled.
• The multi-point topology connects multiple transceivers through daisy-chaining to one bus. Only one driver can actively drive the bus at a time. A multi-point bus, therefore, must work in half-duplex mode. That is, any node can either transmit or receive data, but never both at the same time. Because data flow is bidirectional, line termination must be applied to both ends of the bus.
Historically, system designers would choose various driver, receiver, and transceiver components to accomplish the individual device functions. Miniature transceivers, however, enable the configuration of all of the above operation modes within one device (Fig. 5).
The 3- by 3-mm package size enables network functions requiring two transceivers such as repeaters and clock-synchronized transmitters on much smaller board space. Finally, the pin-pitch of 0.65 mm enables worldwide assembly houses to use standard assembly equipment.
Operation Robustness
When operating in harsh industrial environments, transceivers must be able to work reliably across a wide temperature range from –45°C to 125°C. Also, electrostatic discharges (ESD) due to human interference as well as electrical fast transients (EFT) caused by relay bouncing and other inductive load switching can cause latch-up and serious device damage in transceivers without sufficient transient protection. New transceivers can withstand ESD transients according to IEC61000-4-2 of up to ±16 kV and EFT transients according to IEC61000-4-4 of up to ±4 kV without toggling the power supply.
Legacy transceivers with ±200-mV input sensitivity required external failsafe biasing resistors of low resistance to ensure high differential noise immunity during bus-idling states, when no driver was accessing the bus. State-of-the-art transceivers, however, provide internal biasing of the receiver input thresholds in combination with large input-threshold hysteresis.
For example, a transceiver could have a typical positive input threshold of VIT+ = –60 mV and an input hysteresis of VHYS = 70 mV. This defines the negative input threshold with VIT– = VIT+ – VHYS = 60 mV – 70 mV = –130 mV.
So, flipping the receiver output erroneously from high to low requires a differential noise of 130 mVPK. This is an awful lot of noise—roughly three times that of a well-balanced data link. Because the transceiver provides such high immunity, the need for external bias resistors is removed and power consumption is reduced.
Applications
Many high-speed data links using RS-485 transceivers can be found in modern seismic networks, position encoders in drive systems, and communication links between GPS and server cards in telecommunications. Data rates can reach 20 Mbits/s with bus lengths of up to 300 m to cover. Sending high data rates over long distances can increase inter-symbol-interference (ISI), leading to a drastic closure of the eye diagram. To reduce ISI, data is encoded with the clock signal to accomplish more balanced charging and discharging of the cable capacitance.
One commonly applied encoding mechanism is Manchester coding, where the original data is XOR-ed with a clock signal to yield the final transmit data sent by the driver (Fig. 6a). On the receiver side, a rather complex decoding algorithm performs oversampling at six to eight times the initial clock frequency to recover the original clock information before decoding the encoded receive data.
Another transmission method is the run of a separate clock channel parallel to the data channel or channels. The data is still clock-encoded, but the presence of a dedicated clock channel removes the actual clock recovery process (Fig. 6b). On the receiver side multiple versions of the received clock signal are generated, each with a different propagation delay. Every clock version is then used for decoding the incoming receive data. A novel selection algorithm decides which decoded signal provides the most meaningful result.
Long-distance networks operate at data rates from 10 kbits/s to 100 kbits/s and can cover from 5000 feet up to 20 miles (~105,000 feet), clearly exceeding the reach of conventional RS-485 networks. To prevent data errors due to large ground potential differences along the link, all bus nodes are galvanically isolated from their local controller/UART circuits (Fig. 7).
Line termination in combination with failsafe biasing is usually applied to both bus ends to ensure a well-balanced bus immune to common-mode and differential noise. While a single bus segment can reach up to one mile (5300 feet), longer distances are achieved through the use of half-duplex repeaters between segments.
Conclusion
Miniature RS-485 transceivers conquer a wide range of network applications. The combination of switchable data rates and long-distance drive capability at low supply voltage makes them the most versatile components in the industry. Texas Instruments entertains a huge portfolio of RS-485 transceivers in varying package sizes with features including integrated lighting protection, receiver high-pass filters, large input hysteresis, and cross-wire fault compensation.

Exceptional market conditions registered in 1Q 2017 and 1Q 2016 affected EBITDA and net income in the two periods under exam: high hydro and wind output in 1Q 2016 depressed pool prices, while 1Q2017 was characterised by increased use of thermal plants and, as a result, extraordinarily high prices.
(1) Excluding EPGE contribution in both periods.
(2) At March 31st, 2017.
(3) At December 31st, 2016.
Endesa’s CEO, José Bogas, commented “The drop in net income took place against an extremely complex scenario, with a huge increase in demand during the first weeks of the year, which had to be met through more expensive technologies, given the significant reduction in hydro and wind resources. This situation led to an exceptional price increase in the wholesale market, which negatively impacted on the company’s energy purchases. The stability of our regulated businesses, which contained fixed costs and the acquisition of up to 100% of Enel Green Power España, mitigated this exceptional negative impact, which has gradually begun to normalise and is expected to diminish in the course of the year”.
- Revenues increased by 7%. However, the costs of purchasing electricity to be sold to end customers as well as fuel consumption costs in thermal power plants have increased significantly, leading to a 6% reduction in the gross margin and reaching 1,236 million euros.
- When analysing EBITDA progress, the following factors need to be taken into account:
- The free market margin recorded a significant drop (-18%), due, on the one hand, to the increase in production costs as a result of greater thermal power production, higher taxes on generation and a rise in the cost of fuels; and, on the other hand, the hike in average electricity purchase costs, through a 84% increase in the wholesale market price (which reached 55.6/MWh). These negative effects have been partially offset by the increase in average sale prices.
- The gross margin of the regulated business increased by 4%, reaching 774 million euros, which has partially offset the drop in the deregulated business margins.
- These results have also been partially offset by Enel Green Power España’s contribution (57 million euros) to Ebitda, illustrating that the diversification strategy of the production mix, boosted by the purchase of up to 100% of this company, is proving to be very successful and also constitutes a solid growth platform for Endesa.
- Fixed costs on a like-for-like basis dropped by 2%, i.e. net of the acquisitions of Enel Green Power and ICT division of Endesa Servicios, compared with the first quarter of 2016.
- EBIT dropped by 27% mainly reflecting the decrease in EBITDA.
- Furthermore, Amortisations and Impairment Losses increased by 9%, reaching 362 million euros, mainly due the consolidation of 100% of Enel Green Power España (30 million euros).
- On the other hand, Endesa has reassessed the useful life of assets in operation and modified the amortisation policy of hydro, wind and photovoltaic plants, which has enabled amortisation costs to be reduced by 16 million euros.
- As a result of all the aforementioned factors, net income dropped by 26%.
Net financial debt, cash flow and investments
- Operating cash flow dropped by 129 million euros, mainly due to the decrease in EBITDA.
- Net financial debt increased by just 557 million euros compared with December 31st, 2016, despite Endesa paying its shareholders a dividend on 2016 results in the amount of 0.7 euros gross per share, equivalent to a total disbursement of 741 million euros.
- During the first quarter of 2017, Endesa’s gross investments stood at 261 million euros (+11%), of which, 241 million euros relate to investments in tangible and intangible assets and the remaining 20 million euros relate to financial investments.
Operating Result
(1)Without consumption pertaining to generation.
- During the first quarter of 2017, the demand for electricity in the Spanish mainland system increased by 0.2% compared with the same period of 2016. The increase is around 1.1% adjusted for working days and temperature.
- Renewables generation in the Spanish mainland system during the period met 38.3% of the mainland electricity demand, given the scarcity of hydro and wind resources, while it represented 49.6% during the same period of the previous year.
- Endesa’s mainland electricity production under ordinary regime increased by 20.2% as a result, mainly, of the scarcity of wind and hydro resources, which meant having to significantly increase thermal power plant production.
- Nuclear and hydro technologies (carbon-free technologies) represented 58% of Endesa's mainland generation mix, compared with 70.9% during the same period of 2016.
- Endesa’s production in Non-Peninsular Territories (NPT) was 3,064 GWh, a 3.8% increase recorded on the same period in 2016.
- In turn, Endesa’s production from renewable technologies, other than hydro, reached 994 GWh.
- Overall, during the first quarter of 2017, Endesa reached a 35.6% market share in mainland electricity generation under ordinary regime, 43.3% in distribution and 35.3% in sales to free market customers.
- The number of free market customers stood at 5,440,079 at the end of the first quarter of this year, a 0.3% increase compared with December 31st, 2016.
Dividends
Endesa’s General Shareholders Meeting held on April 26th approved the distribution of a dividend on 2016 net ordinary income for a gross amount of 1,333 euros per share, equivalent to a total of 1,411 million euros. This amount equals Endesa’s consolidated net income of 2016.
Taking into consideration the interim dividend of 0.7 euros gross per share (equivalent to a total of 741 million euros) paid on January 2nd, 2017, the balance dividend is equivalent to 0,633 euros gross per share (a total of 670 million euros). The balance dividend shall be paid on 3 July 2017.
Endesa is also expected to pay a dividend per share on 2017 results of at least 1.32 euros per share. | https://www.endesa.com/en/press/news/d201705-results-1t-2017.html | 2018-10-15T18:22:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

According to the National Association of Realtors, the last four years of reports have shown that buyers 36 years old and younger (millennials/gen Yers), are the largest share of home buyers at 34 percent. Buyers aged 37-51, generation X, make up 28 percent of recent home buyers. With millennials quickly becoming the largest segment of consumers in general, and gen X having more spending power than any other generation, representing 31 percent of total U.S. income, according to Ad Age, it is important to understand their differences and motivations so you can properly serve them.
Each generation requires its own unique focus. Here are six tips to help you serve Millennial and generation X clients.
Millennials appreciate succinct communications
According to a recent study by Microsoft, millennials lose focus after about 8 seconds.They are a highly digitized generation, and accustomed to instant gratification. When serving Millennial clients, keep your message short, sweet and to the point. The last thing you want to do is bore your millennial client.
Generation X values authenticity and tonality
Generation X has seen it all. They have grown up with the digital age, and now they run the C-suite. When serving generation X clients, keep in mind that you'll have to overcome their inherent skepticism. Honesty is always the best policy, and be prepared with facts to back up your statements. Generation X clients are highly educated and will expect you to be an expert in your field. When serving Generation X clients, always keep it real, honor all of your commitments and demonstrate integrity in all that you say and do.
Millennials are all about technology
Millennials are more engaged with their devices than any demographic. Technology reigns supreme. They want it in their palms, and they want it in their home. A recent study by Wakefield Research group has demonstrated that 86 percent of millennials are willing to pay more to secure a home with smart technology built into it and that they would pay up to 20 percent more each month just to have it.
When serving millennial clients, be sure to communicate via text and email. Millennials are not interested in talking on the phone. In fact, most of my millennial clients communicate almost entirely over text. Keep in mind that millennials value advanced technologies, so if you aren't up to date with electronic signatures, Venmo payments and the latest apps, you'll have to do some research to bring yourself up to speed. Millennials prefer to transact digitally and won't be going to the fax machine anytime soon.
Generation X clients value efficiency and hard work
I've found generation X clients are competent, business-like and efficient. They expect you to go above and beyond and aren't pleased with people that make mistakes. When serving Generation X clients, pay close attention to detail and never waste their time. You will rarely receive praise because Generation X clients require you to exceed their expectations.
Millennials respond to innovation, substance, ingenuity and emotional connections
It seems like millennials, as a generation, are extroverted. They seek new experiences, empathy and emotional connections, even in their business dealings. Millennial clients are focused on values and making a difference in the world. When serving millennial clients, it is important to discover what they are passionate about. Millennials prefer to work with people who share their core values. They are more interested in substance, and look down upon superficiality. Millennials are interested in simple, smart and effective solutions.
Generation X is all about family
My generation X clients are very family-oriented. They want the best quality and products for their families and think of their family in all that they say and do. When serving generation X clients, learn about their family life and highlight the ways in which your product or service can be beneficial for their family unit. For example, when generation X clients are looking for a home, they are typically interested in larger homes with room for family, security systems to protect their family and safe, family-friendly environments. I may show a home perched over a 300-foot cliff to a millennial client, but I'd never show that home to a generation X client with four young children.
At the end of the day, not all client interactions are equal. Be mindful of your clients and educate yourself on what matters most to them. Millennials and gen Xers think very differently and all it takes is a little research and education to build long-lasting client relationships with any generation.

I am interested in intervening in a performative way when others are making constructed images of their daily life by not engaging with the viewer while being photographed. In the times that I have already tried this it has upset people or at the least disappointed them. I am certainly not interested in losing the friendships that I have in my life but I do find it powerful and interesting that when one person is not engaging in the staging of the photograph it seems to cause a breakdown in the meaning or even the perceived purity of the recorded event. It is as if my intervention ruptures the self-constructed facade that many have already learned not to see. | https://www.ericpickersgill.com/interventions | 2018-10-15T18:01:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Dangerous and hurtful situations prompted by sexting were in the news almost daily.
Despite the growth in internet safety education over the past year, one alarming trend continued to get worse: “sexting,” or the act of sending explicit photos or text messages via cell phones or the web.
More than a quarter of young people ages 14 to 24 say they’ve been involved in some form of sexting, according to an Associated Press-MTV poll released in early December. A separate poll from the Pew Internet & American Life Project reported that 15 percent of teens ages 12 to 17 have received “sext” messages.
While the exchange of nude images mostly takes place among romantic partners or potential partners of the same age, these images often are forwarded to non-partners or people in different age groups–with sometimes tragic results.
Two teens committed suicide this year as a result of the bullying they endured when explicit photos they took of themselves ended up in the wrong hands. In March, 18-year-old Jessica Logan killed herself in the face of a barrage of taunts when an ex-boyfriend forwarded explicit photos of her following their breakup. And in September, 13-year-old Hope Witsell hanged herself in her bedroom. The 13-year-old Florida girl had sent a topless photo of herself to a boy in the hope of gaining his attention. Instead, she got the attention of her school, as well as the nearby high school.
The parents of Jessica Logan have sued her former school, saying if officials had taken more aggressive action against the bullying, Jessica would still be alive today.
Besides the emotional trauma it can lead to, sexting can have serious legal ramifications as well. Some prosecutors have begun charging teens who send and receive such images with child pornography and other felonies, sparking an intense discussion about whether that’s really the best way to handle it.
Some state lawmakers don’t think so, and in the past year they’ve proposed or passed laws to bar child pornography charges that result in lifetime listings on states’ internet sex-offender registries.
Appropriate punishment aside, everyone agrees that the best solution is educating teens about the risks of sexting.
Marisa Nightingale, senior advisor with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, said many teens who send sexting messages do so as a joke. “But you’re basically relinquishing control of how people see you in this very sensitive area, which is your sexuality,” she said.

Yuliya Georgieva
Belly Dancer
This Storytelling Evening features Yuliya Georgieva, Belly Dancer who will tell us her story and that of this beautiful mesmerizing and powerful form of dance. She will give a solo and duo performance with Miya who together have formed the Yuna Dance Company.
Born in Kiev in the family of a Ukrainian mother and a Bulgarian father, both engineers, Yuliya grew up in Bulgaria where her studies, influenced by her parents, were focused on mathematics, physics and computers. Looking for the link between art and science she went on to earn Master Degrees in Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. She took up ballroom dance classes at the age of 7 however finding a viable partner proved to be a difficult task. The mirror at home and an imaginable stage found her oftentimes dancing alone to MTV.
Yuliya’s story of becoming a belly dancer was triggered at the age of 15 when she met Silvia a belly dancer who was part of a show in a Bulgarian resort where Yuliya was also part of the show (albeit one of the god Neptune’s mermaid dancers). Yuliya was completely mesmerized and blown away with the richness of the belly dance moves. However, it wasn’t until 5 years later when she could formally study belly dancing, coinciding with a move to Sofia for her studies. There she learned from two of the best belly dance teachers – Nevena Georgieva (not related) and Milena Davidova both whom she “faults” (with gratitude) her falling in love with belly dance and the empowered dance community of women it creates. It was her teacher Nevena who recognized Yuliya’s talent and inspired her to continue. And this is exactly what Yuliaya did. Now in parallel with a career as a Landscape Architect and Urban Planner, Yuliya’s passion plays out as a belly dance teacher, dancer, choreographer and co-creator of the belly dance company of Yuna dance (formed with Miya).
Reflecting Yuliya's roots, the dinner menu will feature Bulgarian dishes and specialities. This Storytelling Evening will be at a private residence in this 17th century decorated Parisian salon conveniently located just off the Champs de l’Elysee. Codes sent with RSVP.
Yours in belly dance,

Candidates running for a spot at the table in the City of Launceston’s upcoming elections could have their signs taken down by the council if they do not start complying with regulations.
Local government election signs are regulated by individual planning schemes, and the signs code in the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme allows for one election sign per property without requiring a permit.
This means one sign is permitted per property, not one sign per candidate per property.
Candidates have already been given notice that non compliant signs needed to be rectified by October 12, the council’s acting general manager Leanne Hurst said.
“The council wrote to all candidates when the nominations were announced, indicating that the correspondence constituted the first step in the enforcement process. That is, notice of intention to take enforcement action after 14 days because a number of non-compliance issues had already been reported,” she said.
RELATED STORIES:
Any candidate in breach after October 12 will have their non-complying signs removed. The council will also retain the right to issue infringement notices.
At the September 24 council meeting, candidate Basil Fitch asked the council, during public question time, if two signs were allowed to be erected on the same property. Mayor Albert van Zetten said it was not permitted and breaches would be followed up.
While anonymous complaints are not permitted, complainant details are not made public and complaints must be in writing.

Building a killer app: Step 1 - Defining the user journey
There are lists of things to do if you want an app with great performance during the app lifecycle. Over the next few days we're going to break down the 5 steps for defining an app.
Today we're looking at the user journey
[image credit: The Journey: X by Basheer Tome]
Step 1. Defining the User Journey
Whether this is for internal or external users it is important to understand the steps that your user goes through on their journey and identifying the points of interaction between them and the company. Are they a supplier delivering product, a customer buying online, are they doing research into competitors, are your employees trying to make a sale in the field?
Mapping the journey for your user identifies and determines the key touch points, and the challenges and opportunities that mobile can/needs to address.
Overlay your user journey with that of adjacent or similar industries to gain insights and ideas of successful features for potential use e.g. is the hotel journey similar to an air traveler, or someone hiring a car? Do they all need to start with research? Then booking? Travel to hotel/airport? Check in etc
Group the steps of your user journey into core areas of activity and/or responsibility (e.g. Research & booking, this may be a number of steps within the overall journey) with the desired outcome, interactivity and priority for the user and your organization.
Make sure that you subscribed to our blog or

A nine-year-old boy with muscle-wasting Duchenne muscular dystrophy has won his fight to have a breakthrough drug made available in Scotland.
After a long campaign, backed by charity Muscular Dystrophy UK, which saw Larbert’s Michael Young collect over 100,000 signatures on a petition and deliver a hand-written letter to parliament, the youngster was thrilled to receive a letter in return from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirming he will now be able to receive Translarna.
Families were devastated in April when the drug was rejected by the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC).
It’s the first drug of its kind to treat an underlying cause of Michael’s condition and thanks to his campaign and the First Minister’s intervention, he and five other boys in the country will now have access to the drug.
Mum Michelle Young said: “To have our lovely quiet boy rewarded for his brave and tireless campaigning was just amazing. Knowing the medicine and can just get on with enjoying his childhood again.” | https://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/news/brave-michael-finally-wins-fight-to-use-drug-1-4225005 | 2018-10-15T17:45:31 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Lincoln Six Echo stood in Tom Lincoln's house, staring at the strange models and displays. He was reaching out to touch one of the glass cases when Tom Lincoln's voice fell an octave and Lincoln Six Echo looked up, curious as to why.
Jordan Two Delta was sitting across from Tom Lincoln, the latter gently holding her wrist and speaking to her in soft tones. Lincoln Six Echo took a step closer to the scene, wondering why he was so unsettled by it.
He watched as Tom Lincoln raised Jordan's hand to his lips and kissed the tender skin on the inside of her wrist. A tremor went though Lincoln as the scene unfolded.
He didn't like to see Jordan touched like that. The moment he thought it, he wondered why, thinking it must have had something to do with that video he had seen. Jordan's sponsor had touched her lips to another's. A man. What was it about that that seemed to upset him?
For once in his life, he wished one of the supervisors would come, bearing their electronic clipboards to tell Jordan and Tom to watch their proximity. It never came and Lincoln instead, watched Tom's lips on Jordan's wrist, growing more and more flustered.
When Tom pulled back, he shot a look over at Lincoln and grinned. An intense disliking, one he didn't even understand the reason of, came over Lincoln as he stared stolidly back.
Jordan was pulling away, her eyes still partly closed, looking for a lack of a better word, happy. Lincoln closed his eyes and fought down the feeling in the pit of his stomach before Tom excused himself to find his shoes. After Tom had gone, he stepped closer to Jordan, touching her arm. She looked up at him curiously, wondering at the new strange look that had inhabited his eyes. Jordan reached up and removed his hand from her arm, instead lacing her fingers through his. As the new strange, but wonderful feeling washed over him, he relaxed for the first time since he had seen Tom touching Jordan. This, this felt right.
Later, after many years of living in the human world, he would remember the time and correctly identify the tense knot in his stomach and the passionate dislike for the man named Tom Lincoln.
He had experienced his first ever surge of jealousy.
Just a short fic. I loved the movie and I'm very upset that there aren't more Island fan fictions here. Thought I'd offer up this small contribution, I found Lincoln difficult to write, even in this short story. Anyway, here's to anyone who can take up the cause and write some Island fiction, I'd be first in line to review.
Regards,

-8, kaname-luvr for reviewing tale 3 and Sable Scribe for reviewing tale 8.. Sumaru comes from a planet where elite warriors are infected with a symbiote that greatly enhances their performance. Lee and Kimimaro were ring fighters on the planet Jewel when they were kidnapped by Kabuto who infected them with the symbiote, almost killing them in the process. Rin saved their lives but while Lee stayed with Sasuke's crew as a guest, Kimimaro, who hates hybrids, is thought to have returned to Kabuto. Want to know more? Read 'In the cold of space you find the heat of suns'.
You really, really need to have read Knives, which is Tales in Tarrasade 2.
Tales in Tarrasade 9 - Homeward bound
This tale begins during Tales in Tarrasade 8 - Patron (Chapter 1 - Entreaty), after Gaara has decided to return to Kaze in order to obtain Temari's permission to work on behalf of the HDL.
Izumo had finished his assessment of the Gourd. He walked to where Gaara waited in the docking bay.
"She is really too small to be comfortable for more than one occupant, Gaara-san, and to make her as close as possible to what you want means stripping her right down and starting again. It would be a lot easier and quicker to build a new one. I am sure Uchiha would buy the parts you did not reuse.
Gaara considered. It did not feel right. The Gourd had been his home for so much of his life. "Is the engine sound?" he asked.
Izumo nodded. "And Kotetsu can make it better than that," he assured him.
"I need it to be the same shell and the same engine. I need the controls and the weapons to have three modes: me, Lee without symbiote and Lee with symbiote. I need to be able to control the ship and the weapon either simultaneously or separately by either of us. I need it to be possible to have me and Lee together in the control room and to have another room for us to feed ourselves and relax. We need a place for each of us to sleep."
Izumo considered the revised specs. "Could you and Lee-san sleep in cubicles?" he asked.
Gaara thought that he could manage in a cubicle. Lee was not fussy about anything. "Yes," he answered.
"It will be close living," Izumo warned, "But we can do it."
Lee was glad that Izumo had thought to relay a warning to him via Gai-sensei. He looked in dismay over the half-finished ship.
"I thought you ought to get a chance to look at it," Izumo told him. "Gaara-san lived on this ship for most of his life. He is used to it. You aren't even a spacer. I was brought up on a planet like you were. I can appreciate how small it is."
Lee imagined being trapped in the tiny space for divs with Gaara. How would he hide his feelings?
"You should tell him you won't be able to cope," Izumo advised.
Lee shook his head. "I couldn't. This was his home but it was also his prison. It is a big step for him to get it remodelled and an even bigger one for him to travel with another person." He took a deep breath. "Tell me how it works. Where will we sleep? Is there any privacy at all?"
Izumo began telling him where everything fit. Halfway through the explanation he grabbed a tablet and promised that he would try to fit in two showers and two heads as well as the two sleeping cubicles.
"Go and talk to Shikamaru-san and Shino-san about a virtual reality system," he said when he observed Lee's reaction to the dimensions of the sleeping cubicle. "And make sure you ask Rin-san about a full range of seds."
Shikamaru was whistling as he laid out the various user interfaces in preparation for Lee's second visit. Shino tried again.
"Are you sure...?" he began.
Shikamaru cut him off. "Yes, I am sure. The man is so obviously besotted that the least we can do is try to stop him shattering the friendship that means so much to him."
Shino shook his head. "You get the job of explaining it to him. I am not going to do it."
Lee stared at the various devices. Goggles, earpieces and gloves he could understand but what his mind was whispering about the others was distinctly disturbing.
Shikamaru, being Shikamaru, went directly to the point. "This goes over your prick and balls. These discs go on your nipples. This goes up your arse. Don't worry, this part stops it going in too far. This..." He pointed to what looked like a disorganised pile of mesh. "...is a whole body suit for when you decide to get serious."
"You don't have to use it, Lee-san," Shino reminded him.
Shikamaru was looking at him with frank, brown eyes. "Being stuck in a tiny ship with someone as gorgeous as Gaara-san might lead to problems. This will stop the problems getting out of hand."
"You think Gaara-san is gorgeous?" Lee asked, faintly.
"Beautiful and lethal," Shikamaru answered. "It's a heady combination. Add in that you are the one person in known space that he trusts utterly, stick the two of you together for divs in a ship smaller than Haku's clothes closet and, if you ask me, you have a recipe for a friendship-destroying disaster. This is your equivalent of a cat or a floozy. It'll stop you doing something really, really stupid."
Lee wished he was less embarrassed. If he had been less embarrassed he might have had the capacity to be grateful.
Naruto and Kiba had to look over the finished ship while Gaara waited in the docking bay; there wasn't room for three.
They stepped from the airlock on a small landing; it was just big enough for two. Set into the floor was the hatch to the engine room. In front of them was a ladder to the upper levels, running up the centre of the ship. Storage lockers filled the rest of the level. One of them bore a medic symbol. Naruto opened it. Inside were two vertical tanks. Naruto had not known they made vertical tanks.
"They must pump the gel in when you've closed and sealed the door," Kiba observed. "Neat."
Naruto shut the door and started up the ladder with Kiba following. They passed four closed hatches, two a level, labelled 'emergency use only' and emerged in the control room. There were banks of controls and two battle chairs. The walls of the rooms tapered in towards the ceiling, confirming that they were in the very nose of the ship.
"Not much between them and nothingness," Kiba noted.
Naruto suppressed a shiver. "Izumo has layers of anti-meteorite and anti-radiation high tech shielding between the inner and the outer skin. That's on top of the usual insulation and cooling circuits."
They edged around the chairs and slid down a short ladder at the side of the ship. The next level down was the only sizeable space and it was done out very nicely as the shared area of a crew room. There was a small galley and a seating area. On one side of the galley there was a hatch down labelled 'Gaara' and on the other one marked 'Lee'.
"I like the idea of properly private areas," Kiba observed.
To Naruto it was a little strange. That was not the way spacers were. Then again, Lee wasn't a spacer. "Gaara said we could check out his part," Naruto reminded Kiba and slid down the ladder.
Kiba looked down after him. "Is there room for two?"
Naruto considered. "I'll stand in the shower," he decided.
The sleeping cubicle was a man's height long and wide. Half of it was taken up by a bed big enough for one and half of the remainder by a closet. Where Naruto was standing was a combined shower and head.
"You could have a shower while taking a dump," Naruto observed.
Kiba smiled. It was rare to see Naruto in adolescent mode; usually he was too busy being a good parent or thinking about the HDL.
"What do you think?" Gaara asked as they emerged from the airlock.
"Izumo and Kotetsu have done an awesome job," Naruto declared. "She's a gem, isn't she, Kiba?"
Kiba agreed entirely. The ship was exactly like a gem; costly, beautiful and very, very small.
Lee and Sumaru sat, each a mirror image of the other, their hands weaving the familiar patterns in time to their chanting. The last movement left their hands resting on their knees. Heads bowed in eleven minutes of prayer.
They then walked together towards the point at which their paths diverged; Sumaru would make his way to the crew room and Lee towards the guest quarters.
"You will continue when we are apart, Lee-san?" Sumaru asked.
Lee smiled at him. "Of course, Sumaru-san. A trainee Knife must practice."
Sumaru slowed. "I can never thank you enough, Lee-san," he acknowledged. "Without you I would have no prospect of Sasuke-sama allowing me to operate as one of the Chosen."
"You are welcome, Sumaru-san. Is Rin-san satisfied that the nanobots are resolving the damage in your system?"
"There is measurable progress," Sumaru assured him. "We have set criteria. Once I have reached them, Sasuke-sama will give his permission for me to try activating my symbiote using the hormone." He considered. "Having seen you train with Gai-san, I have decided that I shall ask him to be my sensei."
Lee was pleased; Gai-sensei would be delighted.
It was a long journey to Kaze without a Mulligan drive or an improver. Gaara wore even less around the ship than he had around the apartment; Lee had not realised how much he had relied on exercise to keep his libido under control. Despite all the planning he and Gai-sensei had invested, there was a limit to the amount of training he could do using the main ladder and the small space in front of the airlock.
He persisted with the rituals that Sumaru had taught him but, even when performed three times, they only took up two hundred and twenty-five minutes out of a one thousand four hundred and forty minute ship's day.
The software had been a surprise; Lee assumed that Shikamaru had installed it for him. Once he had realised what it could do he had resolved not to use it. Within a handful of days the temptation had been too great; Lee was now relieved that it had only been a resolution and not a vow.
Customising the holos allowed him to externalise his fantasies. Already the girl he had created had Gaara's hair and skin and eyes. Her breasts were unusually small and her voice suspiciously low.
Then he made the error of thinking that the mesh body suit would be less involving than the more overtly sexual interfaces; once he felt the fantasy girl's fingertips brush his cheek he was lost.
Stopping at Petersville had seemed an excellent idea and, at first, it was. They chose a quiet time and toured one of the markets. It reminded Lee of Tarrasade; the same combination of corridors and open spaces where many corridors joined. Lee enjoyed selecting and buying a memento with some of the credit he had built up from the compensation Gaara paid him to cover his 'expenses'.
Then Gaara said that he had seen Kimimaro.
Lee's heart fell. He had believed Gaara was finished with that particular obsession; the final traces had been swept away by C-san, who had suggested to Gaara that he fancied blonds because of a subconscious incestuous desire for his sister.
Then, astonishingly, Kimimaro was there, standing in front of them. He had others with him. On his left was a dark-haired man with three pairs of arms. Lee found himself wondering why Kimimaro was fine with a purebred with extra limbs when he was so revolted by a perfect hybrid like Gaara. On Kimimaro's right was a beautiful young man with blue-white hair and violet eyes.
"How wonderful to run into you, Gaara-san," Kimimaro said. "And Lee too."
And Lee knew, he just knew. He had seen Kimimaro fight too often not to know.
"Run, Gaara," he hissed. He clenched the specific combination of muscles that released the hormone and activated his symbiote.
Gaara's head turned slowly towards him. "Run?" he queried.
"Turn off your controller or run," Lee clarified.
It was too late. The man with six arms had attacked, Gaara had responded and his controller had felled him.
Lee did not hesitate. He kicked Kimimaro in the head. His other two opponents were not shocked at his super-human speed, confirming that Kimimaro was using his symbiote and validating Lee's choice of first target.
The violet-eyed youth sprang to defend his leader while Lee turned his attention to the many armed man. He was picking Gaara up. Lee could not have that. His foot caught the man under his chin. He sailed backwards, away from Gaara, in a bizarrely elegant arc. Lee grabbed Gaara, slung him across his shoulder and ran.
His mind raced as he ran. There could be others waiting at the ship but if he delayed the violet-eyed man might catch up with him. It was even possible that Kimimaro was not unconscious; it would depend if he had activated his symbiote before Lee had kicked him.
Kimimaro obviously wanted Gaara. Lee was not sure why; all the explanations he could think of were bad. He remembered Naruto mentioning that Kimimaro had met with Kabuto.
There was a slight groan from Gaara; Lee had to make a decision. If Gaara regained consciousness while Lee was carrying him he would immediately panic, lose control and be rendered unconscious again by his controller.
He ducked into a side corridor, put Gaara down and drew back to the required distance. Eyelids fluttered revealing turquoise eyes. Lee waited.
"Where are we?" Gaara asked after what was only a few moments but what had felt like an eternity.
"Two-thirds of the way back to the ship," Lee told him.
"And them?" Gaara queried.
Lee shook his head. "No idea. We have to assume some of them are between us and the ship."
Gaara nodded. He stood. His fingers went to his collar to change the setting. He hesitated. "You have your activator?" he demanded.
Lee glanced at his belt and nodded.
"And you promise to fell me if I turn on you?" Gaara checked.
Lee tried to get away with a nod. If it meant the difference between Gaara escaping and being captured, Lee would prefer to die.
"Your promise, Lee," Gaara insisted.
"I promise," Lee said, reluctantly.
"Good, we go," Gaara declared.
They ran. Lee matched his speed to Gaara's. He could feel his reserves being eaten away by the demands of the symbiote. He just hoped he had enough left if he had to fight.
They were waiting at the spur to their mooring. There were two of them, twins. Lee felt very briefly sorry for them in the few seconds between them coming into view and Gaara attacking.
Their only hope of survival would have been to be very, very still. Instead they attacked.
Lee saw and heard their necks snap.
Gaara turned towards him. Lee did not wait. He could not afford to wait and, anyway, he had promised. He pressed the button as Gaara leapt.
He was bowled over by Gaara's unconscious body landing on him.
Then there was the worst of sounds, running footsteps that were too high frequency to be fully human. Lee detangled himself from Gaara and prepared to spring.
He hit Kimimaro as he rounded the corner to the spur. This time Kimimaro was ready. Lee was sent sideways by a parry. He recovered and landed well.
At least there was no sign of Kimimaro's violet-eyed companion. Lee had to end it and end it quickly, before reinforcements arrived.
"You have improved, Lee," Kimimaro acknowledged.
Kimimaro had always been a talker during fights. Lee knew better than to listen.
"Are you his whore, Lee? What's it like? Does his animal side come out? Does he growl and bite as he fucks you?"
Lee knew that he was a superior fighter to Kimimaro. He had to be. He had trained with Gai-sensei for two standards.
Move, feint, move, primary attack, dodge, a feint that morphed into the secondary attack, contact, follow up and the heel of Lee's hand thudded into Kimimaro's chest. Kimimaro staggered back, a surprised expression on his face. Lee followed up with a kick.
He could not spare the time to check if Kimimaro was unconscious or dead. He picked Gaara up and sprinted for the Gourd.
Lee sealed the airlock. His limbs felt sluggish, confirming that his reserves were almost gone. Next would come the pain as his body demanded rest.
He made sure Gaara was secure and climbed the ladder. It was tricky with a body across his shoulder and only one free hand but he managed it. He dropped Gaara into his chair and settled into his own. They were, temporarily, safe. If one ship attacked another when it was docked it would be destroyed immediately by the station's gunners. However, the longer they delayed, the less chance there was of getting to a jump point before their foes; Kimimaro and the six-armed man could still be alive, there was the violet-eyed youth and, for all Lee knew, there could be other members of their crew or other ships.
The pain was starting.
Gaara stirred. Lee's hand hovered over the button on his belt. He resolved to ask Gaara how to change the setting on his controller; having him wake berserk was not a good option.
Turquoise eyes looked at him. Lee held his breath. Gaara's fingers went to his collar. Lee assumed he was changing the setting.
"You should rest now," Gaara told him.
Pain was rolling over him in waves. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He could hear Gaara moving but it was unimportant. Only the pain mattered.
There was the cool touch of a hypospray against his neck followed by a welcome surge of analgesic. Exhaustion laced with euphoria replaced the pain.
Lee knew he must be hallucinating; what else could explain the sensation of fingertips against his cheek and the whispered "Lee-chan"?
Gaara found himself strangely content to be in the presence of his siblings. They both looked good. Temari looked magnificent; ruling a system obviously suited her. Kankuro looked happy, although disturbed by Gaara's presence.
"How are you, little brother?" Temari asked.
Gaara considered. "Progress has been very slow," he admitted. "Before there was only my duty and the challenge of not killing those who did not deserve to die. Now life is complicated and I am poorly equipped for most of it. Naruto is my friend, my mentor and my role model. Finding Kiba was wonderful."
"I remember Kiba," Temari admitted. "You were devastated when he left with Amachi."
Gaara had not remembered; he had been too young.
"Why are you back?" Kankuro asked bluntly.
Gaara studied him. "I am not competition for you," he replied. "With my controller on I am vulnerable and weak. I rely on Lee to protect me."
Temari smiled. "Lee-san is very loyal to you," she observed.
"He is my friend," Gaara acknowledged.
"You did not answer my question," Kankuro persisted.
"I need to withdraw my offer to be your champion, Temari-sama," Gaara responded. "I am not fit for the role. I also seek your permission to work on behalf of the HDL."
"Naruto-san's charity," Temari acknowledged. "His appeal hit a chord here. Many of our people remember what you did for them. There is much wearing of blue ribbons here in Suna and in the other cities where hybrids are found."
"Blue ribbons?" Gaara asked. Thinking about it, he knew that the programme would have been broadcast while they were travelling between Petersville and Kaze I.
"Supporters of the HDL wear them," Kankuro clarified. He seemed to have relaxed now that it was clear that Gaara did not want his job as warlord.
Gaara decided to ask outright. "I would like to start a hybrid sanctuary on Kaze V. There are so many job opportunities there, some of which would suit hybrids. We could start by building the sanctuary."
Temari smiled. "I shall talk about it to my team of advisors," he promised him.
"Have you seen the appeal?" Kankuro asked. "You are in it."
Gaara remembered giving his permission. "No," he admitted.
"You are walking with Kiba in a market," Kankuro told him. "You look happy," he added.
The suite that Temari-sama had given them was large. After divs on the Gourd it seemed enormous. Gaara stood on the balcony and looked out across the desert. Lee studied him from the relative cool of one of the many rooms.
Yesterday they had watched Naruto-san's programme together. Lee had seen that Gaara did not understand it. For Gaara it had been just Naruto talking. Lee, in contrast, had been swept along on the emotional journey. Today, thinking back on how he had felt, he found himself wondering how angry Kimimaro and people like him would be when they saw it.
Gaara looked incredible standing on the balcony, buffeted by the desert wind. He was dressed in white linen and the long open shirt fluttered behind him like a flag, exposing his lean, muscled chest.
Lee sighed. He had never thought that he would be in love with a man. Only Gaara wasn't any man, he was Gaara; unique, beautiful and terrible.
Temari-sama had known immediately. Lee wondered if everyone other than Gaara could tell, as if it was tattooed across Lee's forehead in ink that only a tanuki-human hybrid could not see.
He thought back to what she had said to him.
"He has come a long way, Lee-san, but inside he is still little more than a child. You have done so much for him; he already loves you, even if it is not the type of love for which you yearn. If you can bear it, keep your distance. He is not ready. Maybe one day, but not yet."
Lee had flushed and bowed. He had not thanked her, which was rude of him because he was grateful that she had chosen to express her approval and understanding.
His eyes went back to Gaara. He was looking out over the desert into the sunset.
At least Lee had moments like these.?

FBI Buffalo Announces Digital Billboard Campaign to Highlight Reward Offer in 2003 Xerox Credit Union Robbery and Murder
Adam S. Cohen, special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Buffalo Division, announces a new digital billboard campaign. The campaign highlights an FBI reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the bank robbery and murder that occurred on August 12, 2003, at the Xerox Federal Credit Union in Webster, New York. Law enforcement has developed an interest in persons living in or associated with the greater Buffalo and Niagara Falls areas with ties to persons living in Rochester, New York. The FBI has partnered with Lamar Advertising to run digital billboards in Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls.
At approximately 9:45 a.m. on August 12, 2003, a male entered the credit union wearing a dark blue nylon jacket with the letters “FBI” written in yellow on the back and sleeves. The man also wore a bulletproof vest and a United States Marshals Service-style badge around his neck. He was wearing dark-colored sunglasses and a poorly fitting wig. After encountering resistance from an employee, the subject removed two firearms from a large briefcase. During the robbery, the subject shot two patrons, killing one and severely injuring another. The man then fled the credit union with the stolen money.
The person or persons responsible should be considered armed and dangerous.

Merlin spoke with one of the winners of the FHL $50 Challenge at the 25th Street Baptist Church on 525 W. 25th. during FHL Week 2016: a group of clients from a soup kitchen.
The 25th Street Food Ministry serves a group of very appreciative clients with a community soup kitchen (what is called a “reverse soup kitchen”) and they in turn wanted to give back to the volunteers who serve them. So they put together a meal prepared by a working chef who volunteered his time.

While a death in the family can bring everyone closer together, it can also have the opposite effect. Grief and stress can exacerbate already complex relationships, and some families end up fighting over inheritances, heirlooms and other aspects of the estate.
Whether you need to pursue Succession litigation or defend against a claim filed by someone else, it is critical to work with an experienced lawyer. At Field Law, our estate law attorneys have the skills and experience to vigorously defend your interests in litigation related to a loved one's estate. Here are some examples of common claims:
- Contesting a Will
- Will disputes alleging undue influence or fraud
- Beneficiary rights disputes
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Petition to compel return of property to estate or trust
- Petition to remove an executor or trustee
- Trustee failure to account
Why Field Law Is The Right Choice
If a legal battle lasts too long, it can drain the very estate assets that are at issue in the litigation. We want to help you resolve your legal issue as quickly and as favorably as possible, but that doesn't mean we always try to settle. Instead, we judge each case on its own merits, and we confer with clients to determine the most appropriate course of action.
Through it all, you can rest assured that we are always striving to serve your short-term and long-term best interests.
Based in Baton Rouge, Field Law serves clients across Louisiana as well as clients outside the state with Louisiana-related estate law needs. To discuss your legal matter in a free initial consultation, call us at 225-341-8221, or send us an email. | https://www.fieldlawllc.com/Successions-And-Probate/Succession-Litigation.shtml | 2018-10-15T18:02:08 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
They say that you can’t miss something you never had.
But what if you did have ‘something’? a special talent for example which didn’t just make you good - it made you great.
The talent you had made you the best of the best, even the best of all time.
How would it feel to have that and then lose it?
Most of us will never know, but Open golf hero and British sporting legend Tony Jacklin reckons former world number one Tiger Woods is battling it just now.
To watch Tiger at the Open over his two days at the Old Course has been sad.
Not once has he ever been in contention at a competition he’d regularly dominate, sometimes not from the start, but by the weekend, when it really mattered, he always managed to claw his competitors back before surging past them.
It hasn’t happened this week, it hasn’t happened for some time, and Jacklin fears one of the greatest sportsmen of all time is in denial that his time has ran out.
“What he has done for the game and for sport in general is absolutely incredible,” said Jacklin, winner of the 1969 Open title.
“He reigned supreme.
“But suffice to say we all have our time and age will rule in the end.
“There comes a point when you realise that you’re losing a bit.
“With me it was when I started to get anxious with my putting.
“With Seve there was a point he couldn’t hit a ten acre field.
“Everyone tries to help but they can’t.”
Woods, now 39, came off the course following a first round 76 in relatively high spirits, saying that yesterday’s turn in the weather could play into the hands of a links course expert like him.
Due to Saturday’s suspension of play, he’s still to complete his second round, but looks some way off making the cut, needing to pick up at least four strokes in his final six holes to have any chance.
“He continues to be confident in his ability, he’s done it so often that he feels it’s still there,” said Jacklin.
“But maybe reality hasn’t taken hold of him yet.
“We all go through denial.”
Tony Jacklin was speaking to selected members of the Scottish press as ambassador for Glenmorangie. | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/more-sport/woods-may-know-his-time-is-up-says-golfing-great-1-3834320 | 2018-10-15T17:35:02 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
S&P Global Ratings expects Indian banks to have sizable capital needs to support growth and meet Basel III requirements, which kicked in on April 1, 2013, and will gradually increase until 2019. (PTI).
Banks in India and China will continue to face pressures on their asset quality, profitability and capitalisation over the next 12-24 months, the report said.
“We expect economic risks to remain high for Indian and Chinese banks, which will constrain their credit profiles,” Chugh said.
“Asset quality for Indian and Chinese banks is likely to remain under pressure due to slow industrial recovery in India and overcapacity in many Chinese industries,” Chugh added.
Interest-rate liberalisation and deepening debt capital markets in India could weaken the banking sector’s net interest margin (NIM).
“We believe that NIMs will compress for Indian banks with corporate focus and higher bad loans. Banks are also likely to reduce lending rates further, after having cut base lending rates by 70-90 bps in the past few quarters,” S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Amit Pandey said.
Continuing high credit costs will also limit any meaningful improvement in profitability, Pandey added.
“Most Indian public sector banks will have to rely on external capital infusion, given their reduced ability to generate internal capital, largely because of the pressure on asset quality in the past few years,” Chugh said.
In view of the potential shortfall in capital, India’s PSU banks will need to continue to explore other funding options, including additional Tier-1 issuance, and funding from insurance companies or equity capital markets, she added.
Credit growth in India has fallen sharply, reflecting the weak corporate credit demand as well as capital challenges that most public sector banks are facing.
“We expect loan growth in India’s banking sector to be 11-13 per cent in fiscal 2017. We anticipate that corporate capital spending will be weak, given low capacity utilisation and high leverage in certain sectors,” it added. | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/banking-finance/banks-asset-quality-woes-capitalisation-stress-to-continue/336000/ | 2018-10-15T17:57:09 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

You are in Home > Blog > Food & Drinks > 5 Ways to Get Your Knife Grips on Point
By FDL on
When selecting a knife there are five basic grip styles according to author, chef and all-round food expert, Tim Hayward in his new definitive guide: Knife: The Culture, Craft and Cult of the Cook's Knife published by Quadrille.
Once you've mastered how knives both gripped and moved (coming soon) in the same ways around the world you understand all the ways in which knives are designed and why, he tells us.
Fitting your hand to the handle of the knife and mastering the grip will all be determined on the combination of the hand size, handle shape, cutting intention and culinary tradition, in what will be the most comfortable and effective use of the blade.
1. Hammer Grip - Used for Cleavers and Choppers
Think of how you naturally grip the handle of a blunt knife to cut through something big and tough, like a pumpkin, and the hammer grip is the automatic grip the hand adopts on the handle. The grip is strong, but without so much control.
2. Pinch Grip - Used for Chef's Knife
A delicate grip that yields massive control, not the one you'll use for brute force jobs, but ideal for precise chopping.
3. Point Grip - Used for yanagibas (Used by Sashimi chefs)
By placing the forefinger on the spine of the knife the blade is locked into place and becomes a natural extension of the arm. The blade must be sharp enough and the grip offers absolute precision from the knife. Appropriately it's also the grip a surgeon uses on a scalpel.
4. Dagger Grip - Commonly used by hunters, butchers and fisherman
This is a strong knife grip used to break down carcasses when you need to exert extra pressure. The grip is similar to the hammer except the blade tip faces in the opposite direction pointing out of the bottom of your grip.
5. Toward the Thumb Grip - For use with narrow blades and small handle eg French tourne
Using all four fingers wrapped around the handle, the free thumb is used for pushing the ingredient onto it which requires extra skill to cut fast and accurately without ever hitting the fleshy part of the thumb.
Take a look at how the grip styles look below:

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WFMY) – No doubt, it looks like the world is coming to an end! It looks like something straight out of a movie.
Instead, this video is of some very eerie looking storm clouds captured over Hooters Restaurant in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Stephen Cagle who’s from Denton, North Carolina captured the storm clouds. Not only that but also some pretty sweet rides leaving the parking lot.
WFMY News 2 Meteorologist Tim Buckley said it’s a shelf cloud moving out of a thunderstorm.
It was one of many wild looking clouds captured recently as tropical storm Michael moved across the Carolinas.

Municipal Madness: Columbia SC
First district race could shift city’s balance of power …
More than 150 municipal elections are on tap across South Carolina today … including one in the capital city of Columbia that could conceivably shift its balance of power.
This race pits two-decade incumbent councilman Sam Davis against challenger Chris Sullivan. More than that, it pits the city’s corrupt past against a young black candidate offering an alternative vision.
We’ve previously profiled this race – which will decide who represents residents of the poverty-stricken first district of the city.
Home to dilapidated and abandoned housing complexes and an elevated crime rate, the first district is emblematic of the urban blight and hopelessness that has come with the “old” generation of black leadership.
Can Sullivan do better? We don’t know … but we don’t see how he could do worse.
The negative campaigning in this race has kicked into high gear of late as black establishment forces led by corrupt city mayor Steve Benjamin and powerful U.S. congressman Jim Clyburn have been working overtime in an effort to discredit Sullivan.
Why? Because Davis is their pocket vote …
He has consistently supported failed crony capitalist deals like the Bull Street redevelopment project – and is a reliable supporter of Benjamin’s tax hikes.
If he stays on council, Benjamin will be able to continue advancing his self-serving schemes … while core government services go woefully underfunded.
What sort of attacks are being lobbed against Sullivan?
Take a look at the anonymous attack piece that landed in district one mailboxes late last week …
(Click to view)
(Via: Provided)
Back in the summer, this news site and other media outlets received an anonymous three-ring binder alleging that Sullivan was a gang member – a charge that has been repeated often by Davis and his supporters.
We investigated these claims and could find nothing to justify the allegations against Sullivan. Similarly, The (Columbia, S.C.) Free Times also ran an article about these allegations and found nothing to support them.
The latest attack piece attempts to link Sullivan to U.S. president Donald Trump, who is very unpopular within the black community. It also pictures S.C. representative Kirkman Finlay – a “Republican” who runs a scholarship nonprofit that provides school supplies to needy members of the Columbia, S.C. black community.
Sullivan has assisted Finlay in distributing those school supplies … and is now being attacked for his proximity to the GOP lawmaker.
“Desperate politicians will say anything to try to hold onto their seats,” Sullivan told us in response to the mailer.
This hard-fought race will be decided on Tuesday. Sources familiar with the election say turnout will be exceedingly low – probably in single digits (which is abysmal).
That means everything will depend on turnout …
Davis has not run a good campaign. Sullivan’s message of new leadership, accountability and change has been gaining traction in the community, we’re told – as evidenced by the negative attacks being directed at Sullivan. The Clyburn-Benjamin machine is clearly nervous and busy pulling out all the stops to keep Davis as their pocket vote on council.
Will they succeed?
We’ll find out. | https://www.fitsnews.com/2017/11/07/municipal-madness-columbia-sc/ | 2018-10-15T17:43:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

VW to launch EV car sharing service
Starting in 2019, Volkswagen will offer electric shared cars in several German cities. The following year, the service will be extended to include cities across Europe, North America and Asia.
This new initiative will compete with BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go, which will soon be merged.
In 2016, Volkswagen created its Moia mobility services division, aimed at ride hailing and car pooling. Moia will now be extended to include the new car sharing service which will be branded as WE/We.

Actually, I had a night terror long time ago. I was far out in the ocean in a small boat, then suddenly I got swallowed by a huge freaking scary think. I then later found a knife, cut trough his skin and got out at the exact same spot in the ocean again. I had this EXACT same dream the day after, but instead of landing back in the ocean of water it was an ocean of fish, Both of these dreams are over 7 years ago.

That's the long and short of it, yeah. Only people have a tendency to scream, flail, kick and just plain freak out while they have them.

57, that's called a nightmare. Those are common. Night terrors are most common in small children but can follow people through to or appear in adulthood. If the person who said they're common in soldiers is right, it's probably a result of PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder, which is most common in soldiers. Night terrors cannot be recalled, and though the afflicted may seem in extreme pain and torment whilst sleeping, they should not be woken and will be fine upon waking.

Night terrors just happen. If you get them, you do. I had them as a young child and that's where they're most common. It's like sleepwalking, the person isn't aware, doesn't remember, and shouldn't be waken up. That's probably the best "treatment" you'll get without sleeping pills.

Exactly. The definition of a night terror is a frantic dream in which you completely lose your shit that you have no recollection of the next day. Your girlfriends, on the other hand, will remember. See a shrink pronto.

Night terrors are horrific. The only thing my doctor told me was to "think of pleasant things before I go to bed". Really? That's ridiculous. You have to change your lifestyle and the way you think regularly to get rid of night terrors. But that's only speaking from personal experience. Best of luck conquering the demon OP.

You have no idea if they've ever discussed this before. If OP has heard this from several sources and still not sought treatment, he's bringing it on himself.
Even if he's undergoing therapy, she's not obligated to stick it out if there's no improvement. It's called compatibility. They're just not a match; it happens.

Top shares for May
…
Keep Reading in next month’s trading statement could prompt a fresh flurry of buying activity.
City analysts are currently forecasting earnings growth of 4% and 8% in 2018 and 2019 respectively. A subsequent forward P/E ratio of 19.5 times represents decent value given Smith & Nephew’s exceptional long-term profits prospects.
Royston Wild does not own shares in Smith & Nephew.
Harvey Jones: British American Tobacco
British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS) is the single best performing stock on the index this millennium, with a total return of just over 1,000% since 31 December 1999. Yet today the dividend income and growth machine is in the doldrums, its share price falling 29% over the past 12 months.
This is primarily due to sterling’s recovery undercutting overseas revenues, and a rotation out of dividend stocks as interest rates rise, rather than something fundamental.
Trading on a forward valuation of just 12.2 times earnings, a rare low, British American Tobacco looks a bargain. The forward dividend yield is 5.5%, covered 1.5 times. Earnings per share growth forecasts look positive for 2018 and 2019. Smoking may be in decline but this stock has plenty to offer.
Harvey does not own shares in British American Tobacco
Ian Pierce: Devro
My top stock pick this month is artificial sausage casing manufacturer Devro (LSE: DVO). The company is just emerging from a big two-year investment programme that saw it move into two new, purpose-built factories in the US and China.
This programme ran over cost, but with both factories now up and running Devro looks well-positioned to drive sales and margin increases from more efficient manufacturing processes, the ability to move up-market in places such as China, and general market growth. With high cash flow, growth potential and a 3.8% dividend yield, I think Devro is a bargain at its current valuation of 15 times forward earnings.
Ian Pierce has no position in any of the shares mentioned.
Edward Sheldon: St James’s Place
I believe that shares in wealth manager St James’s Place (LSE: STJ) look quite appealing at present. The stock isn’t particularly cheap on a forward P/E ratio of 24, yet with the share price over 10% below its 52-week high, the prospective dividend yield of 4.2% on offer right now looks attractive.
Recent FY2017 results were strong, with gross inflows up 29% and group funds under management climbing 20%. The group stated that due to the ongoing complexities of pensions, tax and low-interest rates, the demand for trusted face-to-face advice has “never been greater”. With that in mind, I believe the firm’s prospects look good.
Edward Sheldon owns shares in St James’s Place.
Rupert Hargreaves: Persimmon
In my opinion, Persimmon (LSE: PSN) is one of the best income stocks investors can buy today. I believe it will continue to outperform even though the UK housing market is starting to weaken. Indeed, last year the company booked an operating profit margin of 28.2%, leaving plenty of headroom if selling prices start to fall and costs rise.
Put simply, it looks to me as if this dividend champion will be able to meet its goal of returning around 30% of its current market capitalisation to shareholders via dividends over the next few years. With a dividend yield of 7.7% today, I reckon this is one stock that should feature in every income investors’ portfolio.
Rupert does not own shares in Persimmon.
Kevin Godbold: SSE
Earnings weakened recently at gas and electricity utility company SSE (LSE: SSE) and the share price started sliding around one-and-a-half-years ago, joining in the sell-off of defensive firms we’ve seen across the London stock market. But the valuation now looks compelling.
At the recent share price of 1,328p, the forward P/E rating runs just under 11 for the trading year to March 2020 and the forward dividend yield sits just above 7.3%. The stock has been creeping back up since mid-February and I think that move looks set to continue through May and beyond.
Kevin owns shares in SSE.
Paul Summers: Begbies Traynor
If you’re bearish on prospects for the UK economy then small-cap insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor (LSE: BEG) is definitely worth a closer look.
According to the latest Red Flag Alert issued by the company towards the end of last month, more than 477,000 UK businesses were in “significant distress” at the end of Q1. That’s a rise of 33% since the Brexit process was formerly triggered in March 2017.
Taking into account fragile consumer confidence, a flagging housing market and the prospect of further interest rates rises and I think Begbies could see a significant growth in business going forward. The valuation of 19 times forecast earnings is a little punchy but there’s a 3.5% yield to compensate.
Paul Summers owns shares in Begbies Traynor
Roland Head: Evraz
FTSE 100 coal and steel group Evraz (LSE: EVR) is expected to provide shareholders with a 9.4% dividend yield in 2018.
Forecasts indicate that this generous cash payout is expected to be covered 1.8 times by the group’s earnings. And my reading of past years’ accounts suggest that the dividend should also be covered by genuine surplus free cash flow.
Evraz’s Russian origins probably do add political risk to the shares. But unlike many Russian firms, it has significant operations in the US and Canada. Trading on a forecast P/E of 5.9 and with that prospective yield of 9.4%, I believe the stock is worth considering.
Roland Head does not own shares of Evraz.
Peter Stephens: Taylor Wimpey
The recent update from Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) showed that the housebuilding industry continues to experience buoyant trading conditions. Low interest rates have made borrowing increasingly accessible. With a loose monetary policy set to remain in place over the medium term, demand for new houses may remain high.
With Taylor Wimpey having a P/E ratio of around 10, it appears to offer a wide margin of safety. Given its generous capital return plan and a continued focus on customer satisfaction and efficiency, the company could prove to be a strong performer in future years – even with Brexit now on the horizon.

What happened
Shares of Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) jumped on Friday following a first-quarter report that beat analyst expectations. Revenue nearly doubled as the fiber-optic networking company saw strong demand for its products, leading investors to push the shares 16.5% higher by 12:45 p.m. EDT.
So what
Applied Optoelectronics reported first-quarter revenue of $96.2 million, up 91% year over year and a bit more than $1 million higher than the average analyst estimate. Cable broadband revenue rose 90% to $13.1 million, data center revenue jumped 104% to $79.6 million, and fiber-to-the-home revenue contracted 77% to just $98,000.
Image source: Getty Images.
Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at $1.10, up from a loss of $0.04 during the first quarter of 2016 and $0.12 better than analysts expected. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 43.2%, up from 28.3% in the prior-year period. Higher revenue, a fatter gross margin, and a slow increase in operating expenses led to the surge in the bottom line.
President and CEO Dr. Thompson Lin spoke broadly about the first quarter:
AOI started off the year with a record performance, and in the first quarter, achieved the highest revenue and earnings in the company's history. Our record results this quarter were driven by continued demand for our market-leading datacenter products and solid execution. We are very pleased with the team's continued execution. Our commitment to technology innovation, manufacturing excellence and customer satisfaction are qualities that continue to set AOI apart, and we believe our performance in the quarter further demonstrates our commitment to excellence in these areas.
Now what
The company expects to produce second-quarter revenue between $106 million and $112 million, up from $55 million during the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected between 41% and 42.5% and non-GAAP EPS between $1.09 and $1.19.
Applied Optoelectronics kept growing rapidly during the first quarter. With guidance calling for this explosive growth to continue, it's no surprise that investors bid up the stock.

- The previous World Cup Champion;
- The European Championship Winner;
- The African Cup of Nations Winner;
- The Copa America Winner;
- The Asian Cup Winner;

2017 FIFA Confederations Cup
The next Confederations Cup will be played in the summer 2017. The tournament will take place in Russia from June 17 to July 2 in four cities: Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Sochi and Kazan. The opening and final matches will be held in Saint Petersburg.
The following teams were qualified for the 2017 Confederations Cup: Russia, Germany, Portugal, Cameroon, Chile, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico. Teams are divided into two groups of four teams which will play the round-robin tournament. Two best teams of each group will enter the semi-final, then the semi-final winners will compete for the Cup at a face-to-face meeting. At the draw, teams of Russia, New Zealand, Portugal and Mexico go into Group A. Teams of Cameroon, Chile, Germany and Australia enter Group B.
The Confederations Cup provokes great interest of fans all over world. Over 300 thousand ticket requests arrived already six months before the tournament. The Russian team matches and the tournament playoffs are of the utmost interest. Football fans from South America take a keen interest to the tournament which is a pleasant surprise. Over 10 thousand fans are expected to come and support the national team of Chile.
The tournament 2017 will be undoubtedly held on the toplevel. Four cities most ready to receipt the world-class tournament have been chosen as the host cities. Saint Petersburg, Kazan, Moscow and Sochi have modern sports arenas and all necessary transport and hotel infrastructure to receipt a large number of guests. Only the Saint Petersburg stadium brought a few problems. However, in case of Krestovsky Stadium unavailability to the tournament, matches will be transferred from Saint Petersburg to Moscow.
Tournament history
The 2017 Confederations Cup will be held for the seventh time. The first tournament took place in 1997 in Saudi Arabia. Initially, the Confederations Cup passed once two years, however, since 2005 it was decided to hold the tournament once four years. The Brazil national team, which is also the current winner, became the first owner of the trophy. In total, Brazilians managed to win four tournaments from seven. Twice the French national team got the Cup, another time the tournament winner became the Mexico national team.
Brazil is the champion according the number of participations in the Confederations Cup. The five-time world champions took part in all previous tournaments, but they did not managed to be selected for Russia. The tournament 2017 will become debut for three national teams at once. Teams of Russia, Portugal and Chile will participate in the tournament for the first time. | https://www.football-rus.com/events/2017-fifa-confederations-cup/ | 2018-10-15T17:38:28 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

More than 30 criminal investigations - including 21 rape and sex assault cases - are being urgently reviewed after Scotland Yard admitted one of its forensic scientists could have botched vital examinations.
A total of 33 cases, dating back to 2012, could have been compromised after the scientist allegedly failed to carry out vital tests and also lied to detectives about her work.
The scientist at the centre of the scandal was suspended in March after the issue was discovered during a performance review.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said an urgent investigation into all the cases was now being carried out with those affected being contacted by specialist officers.
But it remains unclear whether any of the cases involved resulted in suspects being wrongly convicted or victims being denied justice.
While the majority of the cases involved sex assault allegations, there were also a dozen relating to violence, burglary and drug offences. | https://www.forensicmag.com/news/2018/05/scotland-yard-suspends-forensic-scientist-amid-fears-21-rape-cases-could-be-compromised | 2018-10-15T18:05:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Industry Trends
For cyber intelligence sharing to work, organizations need two things: to trust each other, and better processes to collect, exchange, and act on information quickly.
As cyberthreats become more sophisticated and expand to the Cloud and the Internet of Things, the sharing of meaningful threat intel between trusted organizations has become more critical than ever before. At Fortinet this year, our teams witnessed the benefits of info sharing first hand as part of a joint operation that helped INTERPOL and the Nigerian Economic & Financial Crime Commission uncover the head of an international criminal network.
What did we learn? For one thing, these partnerships demonstrate the importance of global threat intelligence research and analytics that security vendors can offer in dealing with cyberthreats. In my opinion, security vendors have a responsibility to share threat findings with each other, as well as end-user advocacy groups. It is essentially the best way to combat adversaries and assist law enforcement in fighting cybercriminals. Yet, serious challenges remain to the worthwhile goal of information sharing, even among classified, trusted networks.
One of the major barriers to information sharing is the perception of liability. In a 2014 Ponemon survey of over 700 IT security practitioners, 71% of respondents who participate in information sharing said that sharing improves their security posture. But for organizations that don’t share, half pointed to “potential liability” as the principal reason for holding back.
To get beyond these obstacles, two things must be in place: trust between organizations, and a process to receive and implement threat intelligence information quickly.
Trust but Verify
Not only do organizations need detailed protocols in place about what information can be shared, but they also need to trust the organizations with which they are sharing, as well as the process being used to collect, process, and exchange such information.
Another major concern revolves around data privacy and protecting personally identifiable information (PII). How can you share information that provides details about an attack and attacker without having it be connected, even contextually, to customers and thereby risk customer privacy and assume liability? Organizations have to rely on trusted partners who rigidly adhere to and enforce agreed-upon protocols, e.g. only sharing information related to the adversary, and anonymizing PII.
Here are a few tips for developing trusted relationships:
Rapid Processing
A common critique of many information-sharing services is that they are slow and unreliable. For sharing to work, organizations need to be able to receive, process and implement threat intelligence information quickly. They also need to ensure that any threat intelligence they share is immediately useful.
Actionable information is the best way to move from being reactive to proactive. It allows organizations to move from simply stopping attacks to actually catching cybercriminals. Developing and sharing truly actionable intelligence requires the efforts of a trained security team on the part of the organization developing that information, as well as on the part of the users or organizations consuming it.
While many organizations are actively engaged in collecting as much data as they can from a variety of sources — including their own — much of the work in processing, correlating and converting it into policy is still done manually. This makes it very difficult to respond to an active threat quickly, or share timely and actionable information. Ideally, the consumption, processing, and correlation of threat intelligence is automated.
Security vendors also need to automate the sharing of threat intelligence information – and not just with outside entities. Many organizations are still struggling to share threat intelligence between deployed security devices or even between different team members. Automation ensures that time-sensitive threat information immediately reaches all stakeholders so it can be shared in real time and acted on.
Trusted sharing, even with a known partner or community, is easier said than done. When evaluating your security landscape, characteristics of network design should be considered that will securely facilitate the receiving and sharing of threat intelligence. Given that the time to compromise for today’s attacks continues to shorten, it is essential that we begin to automate as much of the process as possible — including time-sensitive activities such as sharing, consuming, hand-correlating intelligence, and distributing updated policies. | https://www.fortinet.com/blog/industry-trends/sharing-threat-intel-easier-said-than-done.html | 2018-10-15T18:03:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Event planning is not like throwing your average party. So much more goes into the planning, development, and organization of events whether they be high profile or private. Every event manager wants to have a successful event at the end of the night, but making that happen isn’t always an easy task. Here are three critical steps to creating a successful event:
1. Set a goal with objectives and a budget
Before you even begin to fantasize about a theme for the event, you need to set goals, objectives, and more importantly, a budget that encompasses all parameters of the event. What do you hope to achieve from the event? Are you trying to raise money? Is there a product that needs to be highlighted? What will make the event a success in the eyes of the client? Having a target in mind will make planning the rest of the event a much smoother experience.
Why is it important to set a budget? For one thing, you have to know where to cap the spending. You can still accomplish a lot on a smaller budget, but you don’t want to plan an event that isn’t going to match what the client wants and what they can afford. Create a line-item budget so that every step is noted and your budget remains where it should without going off the deep end.
2. Locate a venue and establish vendor contracts
Everyone knows you can’t throw a party without having a place to hold all of your guests. The same goes for large- and small-scale business/corporate events. Finding the perfect location to hold an event can be a challenge depending on the overall theme, budget, and feel you want the event to emit. For a more high-class atmosphere, choosing an established location with grand ballrooms will speak to a theme of opulence, whereas product launches should be a bit more engaging and interactive. Once you have the venue, the design planning can truly begin.
Another large part of event planning is utilizing vendor contracts. Once you have a venue, you’ll need to begin creating a menu and an overall design for the event space. This means pulling out your contacts in catering, lighting, music/djs, linens, florists, and even cake designers to create the ultimate event. While many venue locations will provide some of these services, you still may need to use your own contacts depending on what a client wants as the end result. Sometimes giving your clients choices to choose from can yield the best result because they were part of the overall planning.
3. Branding
Marketing events are crucial to your clients because for people to attend they need to know the details about time and place. What makes branding so significant is that you want your event to stand out from the rest and receive recognition. Brainstorm various themes, event names, and even design logos for the event which will provide a unique flavor and feel for guests. Go the extra mile and create a tagline for the event that combines client goals and a hint of what is to come at the event.
If you are planning an event far in advance (6 to 12 months), be sure to send out a save-the-date, so guests have time to put it on their calendar. Then you can follow up closer to the event with a formal invitation. An invitation is also a great time to market the overall theme of the event and if it’s for a product launch, don’t forget to make that a feature.
Sometimes the best way to plan a successful event is to hire an event manager who can handle all the planning from conception through to completion. If you plan on handling the event planning yourself, make a list of everything you need to get done and check things off as you go. This will keep you organized and allow you to see what still needs to be done.

I need a funny animal video. You will need a dog with well known habits, or well trained, a camera and a glass plate.
It should show the following: Dog (maybe sniffels) and then pees on the glass plate while the camera films this from behind the plate so that it looks as if the dog would pee on the camera objective (so the impression is, that the watcher gets peed more or less).
The camera must be positioned so that it does not show much background no other human beings, trees and so on. So it would be the best to direct it a bit against the sky...... (Trees would be okay, but other buildings or something else is not good). I have to get the exclusive copyright if you deliver it. The video should have at least 8 seconds length. The video itself must have a good quality. So cell-phone cam is maybe not the best choice unless it is a very good camera / ! | https://www.fr.freelancer.com/contest/funny-animal-dog-video-about-seconds-length-46641.html | 2018-10-15T16:55:07 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [
