This is a reworking and remix of the quirky OK Cafe track by me and Mick Briers with lots of new bits and a complete remix. We removed all vocals apart from the “Here we go now” sections and created an almost “ballroom” remix that they could dance to on Strictly Come Dancing.
We thought an instrumental version of OK Cafe could be useful to be used for a voice over, advert or film so embarked on the project but ended up spending adding a lot more tracks. It’s fully orchestrated with a few weird instruments like sitar, and Jew’s Harp. Its got the following flavours mixed in – Ball room, Tango, Reggae, James Last, Ennio Morricone, Austin Powers, Beatles, 60s …
Hear the original
This is the original with lyrics and different instruments, OK Cafe was originally done by Me Mick and Bri Littlehales.
I’ve realised we strayed from our original intent with this remix. We were supposed to strip it right down to make it more useful to be used as incidental music, maybe with someone talking over it but I ended up adding extra melodies turning it into a ballroom mix (ideal for Strictly Come Dancing?) and Mick added the spaghetti western guitar. It sounds great, but we’ll need do another properly stripped down version as well, with all the new (ballroom / James Last) melodies stripped out. | https://www.snowdune.co.uk/here-we-go-now/ | 2018-10-15T17:37:47 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Let There Be Light: The Observational Quest for the First Galaxies
Richard Ellis (European Southern Observatory and University College London)
The first billion years after the Big Bang can be regarded as the final observational frontier in assembling a coherent picture of cosmic history. During this period early stars and galaxies formed and the Universe became bathed in ultraviolet light for the first time. Sometime during this period hydrogen in the medium inbetween galaxies also transitioned from a neutral gas to one that was fully ionized. How and when did this `cosmic reionization’ occur and were early star-forming galaxies the primary agents? Recent measures by ESA's Planck satellite suggest that reionization was a rapid process occurring later than originally envisaged. This development raises the exciting prospect that we may be able to directly observe the first galaxies. Deep exposures with the Hubble Space Telescope have provided the primary evidence that star-forming galaxies were present during the relevant period. Detailed spectroscopy of these galaxies is now required to address these important questions. I will review the rapid progress being made in this area with current facilities, and the prospects with upcoming ones, including the James Webb Space Telescope due for launch in 2018 and extremely large ground-based telescopes now under construction. | https://www.sns.it/eventi/let-there-be-light-observational-quest-first-galaxies | 2018-10-15T17:22:20 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Jo Yoon Hee in Talks for Lead Role in KBS Drama “The King’s Face”
Actress Jo Yoon Hee very well might be embarking on her first official historical drama (excluding “Hometown Legends“) for KBS’ “The King’s Face.” The same role was earlier declined by actress Son Ye Jin who wanted to focus on filming for a movie.
Jo Yoon Hee, whose most recent role was last year’s MBC weekend drama “Scandal: A Shocking and Wrongful Incident,” is in talks for the role of Kim Ga Hee, who is loved by both Gwanghae and Seonjo. Her agency explained earlier today that they have had positive discussion with the producers and that the final meeting with the director will be happening today.
“The King’s Face” is a drama that has been two years in the making and will start airing this November on KBS after the drama “Iron Man.” | https://www.soompi.com/article/644347wpp/jo-yoon-hee-in-talks-for-lead-role-in-kbs-drama-the-kings-face | 2018-10-15T18:19:19 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Dear Readers,
First of all, thank you for making me who I am today!
It’s your love and support that has helped me push myself to achieve my goals.
This is a shout out to all my Blog & Email subscribers, YouTube subscribers, Digital Q and A forum subscribers and my ardent followers on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter platforms.
This journey of engaging with the audience on a day to day basis is very Tasking! It needs a lot of commitment.
But when you are passionate, you know how to drive it all.
Sorry for not replying to so many DMs, comments and personal messages, trying to see how I can resolve this concern by creating an FAQ section on the blog with text or video based answers.
In 2017 when I started Youtubing I realized the journey is gonna be a colossal task! I didn’t want to do ordinary desk based videos with an overview of screen recordings, I have been there, done that and I shall continue to do so when required to teach step by step process.
It was a conscious call to do a production based videos, writing scripts, practising it and speaking it out in front of the camera. This required investment of green screen, great camera, lightings, mic and of course an amazing editor who would do the magic sitting on the backed once the video was recorded.
We have uploaded 100+ videos by far and sticking on the commitment of at least 1 video a week that includes Digital Marketing and Travel-based stories.
I am happy to share my YouTube channel is nearing 25K subscribers and on this occasion, I have decided to host my subscribers meet up in two different cities:
1. Chennai: 14th October 2018 in Chennai (Will share the venue soon)
2. Delhi: 17th November 2018 in Delhi (Will share the venue soon)
I have conducted a survey and this was the top two cities that people had preferred.
If you are keen to meet me, catch up for a casual meet up you can meet me by registering on the form below. | https://www.soravjain.com/youtube-subscribers-meet-up | 2018-10-15T17:19:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

What makes this distinct self-perpetuating leniency all the more extraordinary is that even the original designation of the Palestinians as refugees ran counter to both the standard definition of this status and the international treatment of similar, if not worse, contemporary humanitarian predicaments. In contrast, the Palestinians and the Arab states have never been penalized for their “war of extermination and momentous massacre,” to use the words of Arab League secretary-general Abdul Rahman Azzam, against the nascent state of Israel. Quite the reverse, in fact. Despite U.N. secretary-general Trygve Lie’s admonition that “the United Nations could not permit that aggression to succeed and at the same time survive as an influential force for peaceful settlement, collective security, and meaningful international law,” the Palestinians and the Arab states were generously rewarded for that very aggression. The former have become the most privileged refugee group ever; the latter have been generously remunerated for hosting the displaced persons whose dispersal they caused in the first place. This unprovoked war of aggression should have ipso facto precluded the Palestinians from refugee status, should have obliged them to compensate their Jewish and Israeli victims, and should have made their rehabilitation incumbent upon their leaders and the Arab regimes as with post-World War II Germany and collaborating parties. However, it did not. In addition, their designation as refugees also failed to satisfy the internationally accepted definition of this status in several other key respects. Apart from recognizing the Palestinians as refugees despite their failure to meet the basic criteria for this status and assigning a distinct agency to tend to their affairs, the U.N. blindly registered countless false claimants as refugees despite its keen awareness of the pervasiveness of this fraud, then let their falsely obtained status be passed on to future generations. Yet rather than seek to dispel this misguided sense of victimized entitlement and steer the refugees toward rehabilitation as stipulated by its mandate, UNRWA began edging in the opposite direction. One can only hope, therefore, that as UNRWA nears its seventieth anniversary, the agency’s main donors, first and foremost the United States and the European Union, which bankroll nearly half of its budget, will find the necessary courage and integrity to acknowledge the urgency of deep reform and condition future contributions on UNRWA’s reversion to the original mandate: that is, its gradual transfer of responsibility for the Palestinian “refugees” to the Palestinian Authority and the host Arab governments, thus ending their eternal “refugeedom” and facilitating their integration in their respective societies as equal and productive citizens. This will be seventy years later than originally conceived, but better late than never. EFRAIM KARSH

The UEFA Champions League group stage is set and is looking exciting already. During the past couple of months, world football has seen a lot of unbelievable, unpredictable and according to some, unacceptable changes taking place.
Whether it be the departures of some big players and managers from their clubs or the hot debate over the introduction of VAR (Video Assistant Referee), it’s quite obvious that club football from all over Europe is now seeing a revolution take place as new systems are being adopted everywhere in football.
With the start of the Champions' League and the groups decided, the top clubs from Europe will be eyeing to lift the biggest glory in club football, the UEFA Champions League.
In the past 5 years, Spanish teams have been very dominant in Europe as 4 of the last 5 UCL's have been won by Real Madrid and the remaining one was won by their arch-rivals, FC Barcelona. Now with Zidane gone from their side, Real Madrid will still look to continue their European domination.
Meanwhile, Sevilla had played some outstanding football in Europe as they won 3 Europa League titles and shockingly eliminated Manchester United in the latest edition of Champions League. Sevilla was accompanied in their good performances at UEFA campaigns by Atletico Madrid who’ve reached 2 finals only to be beaten by their city rivals, Real Madrid. However, they managed to win the Europa League title in 2017/18 season and would be looking to outperform Real Madrid to clinch the UEFA Super Cup in August.
After the departure of arguably the best manager of Real Madrid's history, Zinedine Zidane and their goalscoring giant Cristiano Ronaldo, it is highly unlikely that Real Madrid would win the trophy for the fourth time in a row. Julen Lopetegui would have a tough task ahead of him to rebuild the legacy of Real Madrid which seems under threat after the 4-2 loss to Atletico in UEFA Super Cup.
Now, let's have a look at some best teams from Europe who are expected to win the Champions league in 2017-18 season:
#4 Manchester City
After having completed one of the most successful Premier League seasons of all time, the citizens would be high on confidence and are expected to add the title which is missing from their trophy cabinet.
Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, Manchester City has been playing some exceptional attacking football and scoring tons of goals which helped them clinch the Premier League 2017-18 title quite easily.
The citizens already had what we call a 'perfect squad' and they’ve added a cherry on top in the form of Riyad Mahrez. De Bruyne's injury may not be a concern for the defending EPL champions as they have a good squad depth. After learning from the mistakes they made against Liverpool past season in UEFA Champions' League, Pep Guardiola's men are expected to win the Champions League 2018-19. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/4-top-favourites-to-win-the-champions-league-title-in-the-2018-19-season | 2018-10-15T17:37:22 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

For the past nine years, all freshman have experienced a Challenge Day session, with older peers serving as local teen leaders and encouraging the newbies to become part of the Big Walnut High School Be The Change Team.
Challenge Day is a nationally-recognized motivation program that brings students together in a series of close-knit, ice-breaking group activities to break down walls created by bullying, teasing, clique problems, and other divisive and isolating activities.
During each daylong Challenge Day session, students experience an intensive workshop designed to help them understand that we are all human beings and we need to celebrate our differences and, at the same time, embrace each other.
While Challenge Day has become a Big Walnut High School staple, English teacher and Student Council Advisor Angie Stooksbury said it’s a community-funded program, with 100 percent of costs coming from donations and fundraising efforts. No school district money is used to finance Challenge Day.
During past years, two days of Challenge Day were needed for incoming freshmen classes, but they are now a thing of the past.
“We will be having three days of Challenge Day every year now because of the larger class sizes and the growth that this community is experiencing,” Stooksbury said. “That means that even more money is needed to make Challenge Day happen for our students.
“We are a close knit community, and despite the residential growth the district is experiencing we’ve grown even closer,” Stooksbury continued. “New students entering the school district comment on our welcoming environment, because our students reach out to each other like no other school district in central Ohio.”
Stooksbury said Big Walnut High School’s 2016 Challenge Day session will be held at the Sunbury United Methodist Church all-purpose room on October 25, 26, and 27.
“I need adult Challenge Day volunteers to donate their time and spend the day with our students,” Stooksbury said. “Adults can volunteer one, two, or all three days depending on their availability.”
To be a Challenge Day volunteer, email Stooksbury at < AngieStooksbury@bwls.net >.
Stooksbury listed a host of perennial donors that help keep Challenge Day in the school district: Sunbury Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Robert Houser and his wife Stacey, Pablum to Prom, Big Walnut Civic Association, Sunbury Lions Club, Sunbury Rotary Club, Sunbury Business Group, Big Walnut Teachers, Big Walnut Education Association, ACE Hardware and Wendy Weiler,
Nancy Garrabrant, Deb Jackson, Mary McRury, JamieSue Johnson, Ora Cagle, and several anonymous donors.
“We have a donor who will match all of the donations given each year, so please consider making a donation to Challenge Day,” Stooksbury added. “Every contribution, in any amount, makes a difference.”
For additional information about the Big Walnut High School Challenge Day initiative and how to contribute as an individual or as a corporate sponsor, contact Angie Stooksbury at < angiestooksbury@bwls.net >.
Checks made out to Big Walnut High School Challenge Day may also be mailed to Big Walnut Local School District Treasurer Terri Eyerman, 110 Tippett Court, Sunbury, OH 43074.

“Kelly’s chased the perfect wave his whole life” in the Ocean and engineers have been trying to ‘make’ one for 4 decades on land. Dec 2015 Kelly revealed to the world that he not only wins world titles he wins the ‘first ever’ literally perfect wave pool wave. Anyone really surprised?
“The vision for me was just to make the best quality wave…” “Nothing replaces the Ocean” “This was never intended to replace surf the Ocean, it’s just a supplement”.

Things could be worse…
Wild weather/Extreme Weather alert -October 2018
Things could be worse…
I have not known a year like this… so many storms… phew… batten down everyone…
Well a bit of welcome rain here, though it has messed up my ‘wombling’ today
We’re in the orange area and expecting a storm tonight after a hot & humid day. Bizarre weather this year.
Having said that. I just shared a post from Facebook at this time last year that said I’d had to put the heating on in August for the first time ever.
gosh… that is a real change…
Can’t see us needing heating yet (hope not)… but we have a small electric fan rad… with thermostat… which takes the edge off if necessary… and it doesn’t cost a bomb…
Finally the storm has arrived. It’s ferocious!!
Continuous thunder and lightning for more than an hour now and torrential rain. Feeling fresher already after an oppressively hot day.
I just hope there is no damage or flooding anywhere.
This has reminded me to check out a Woodman, we don’t have much left from last winter. … may seem daft in this heat… but…
Yep… but it is the lugging from one spot to another…
Folk are not so keen to attend a “wood party” when it is still almost touching 40c every day… everyone is flagging.
I always order mine in August but it’s not delivered until the end of September at the earliest.
We have had to stop using our wood burner as the particulates in the fumes cause problems for my asthma.
I have not had a chest infection in the winter since we have not lit the stove.
We keep a wood supply in case of losing our electricity.
My asthma has improved dramatically since I left the world of fitted carpets and entered the world of woodburners. I suppose it depends on what triggers you attacks. Unfortunately for me most apples bring on asthma although at the moment Granny Smiths soon to be benign.
Tonight’s storm approaching,
Pleased to be in the ‘Less Wild North’ Chris, you get some dramatic weather down Thar!
It’s blowing hard now too…
Windless here Chris, been a beautiful day, but ‘muggy’ in the late afternoon, we don’t often get anything dramatic in SE Morbihan

Case Studies
In this section:
Poole Quay flood defence reinforcement
Customer – Poole Harbour Commissioners
Job spec – Over 100 linear metres of 12.5m steel piles, installation of pre-cast concrete capping beams, timber fenders, and drainage and surfacing works
When – January 2017
OVERVIEW:
Suttle Projects’ first job as principal contractor put them in charge of the second of three phases of flood defence improvement works at the town quay in Poole. The overall objective was to renew a section of granite quay wall and raise the flood defence level for the properties and shops along the town quay.
The scope of works was broad, and started with the removal of existing timberwork, including piles, fender timbers and walings, using Suttles’ own Movax SP70F4.
After this came the installation of anchored sheet piling in front of the existing quay wall at a length of over 100 metres.
Pre-cast concrete capping beam units were installed, along with new ekki (a tropical hardwood) timber fenders – which were added to the capping beam and quay wall.
New drainage was then put in, including manholes, and new asphalt and block paving surfacing were also installed.
The project was carried out for Poole Harbour Commissioners, and was jointly funded by them, and the Environment Agency.
Piles of piling
More than 100 linear metres of 12.5m long piles were installed using an RTG-RG16T telescopic leader rig, combined with a crane to assist the handling process.
Extra support was installed in the form of steel tie-bars connecting the old quay wall to the new sheet pile wall.
Sub-contractor Kavell Civil Engineering were employed to undertake the groundworks element of the project. They engaged Suttle Stone Quarries as their favoured aggregates supplier, who supplied ballast as dredged to fill the void between the new wall and the old wall.
Suttle Projects’ technical director, Ali Maidman, said: “It’s a landmark moment in the growth of the company, and there have been a lot of firsts in this job – it’s our first job as principal contractor, which we’re very proud of; and it’s our first project for Poole Harbour Commissioners.
“It’s been a good test for managing sub-contractors and a construction site ourselves – because we haven’t had that responsibility previously. We hope for it to be a platform to tender for more principal contractor opportunities in the future. It helps our portfolio, and it’s a natural progression for us.”
The works completed mid-May 2017. For more information visit: | https://www.suttles.co.uk/suttle-projects/case-studies/poole-quay-flood-defence-reinforcement/ | 2018-10-15T18:16:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Florida residents may be interested to learn that it doesn't require vast wealth to plan for the distribution of an estate. Owning basic things, like a house, cars or other real property, makes estate planning important so all the assets go where the holder intends. Experts say people are never too young to prepare for the future. It is also recommended that in addition to a will, estate planning should encompass a health care power of attorney, a power of attorney and possibly a trust.
A common mistake in estate planning is an over dependence on avoiding taxes. It is recommended that the focus remain on who is supposed to receive the assets. When it comes to children, it can be a mistake to divide things equally. A family business can easily be run into the ground if the siblings aren't on the same page about how to run it. Rather than trying to be "fair" by dividing things equally, it may be better to consider the needs and abilities of each child individually.
It's also important to make sure the proper person is the beneficiary of any employee sponsored retirement plan. This is especially true if the plan has been in place for many years with the same person listed. The decision should be reviewed periodically to make sure the person listed continues to be the best choice.
Planning for death is difficult, but necessary. It will establish who gets what, the guardianship of minor children or the division of a family business. A probate and estate attorney may be helpful in a preparing a plan that carries out the wishes of the asset holder. This can be accomplished with trusts and wills that are carefully prepared to reflect the wishes of the person planning the estate.

Most people in Florida who are contemplating the preparation of their will know that part of the task is to appoint an executor to carry out the will's provisions. Many legal and financial professionals believe that the spouse of the testator can be an ideal choice, for a variety of reasons.
A spouse will often have superior knowledge about the couple's assets and the express and implied wishes and desires of the testator. As the executor, the spouse may be in a better position to track the location of assets and financial documents relating to them. The spouse will also be required to perform the normal duties of an executor, including the payment of all outstanding bills and ensuring the smooth and timely distribution of the decedent's assets to the named beneficiaries.
A spouse who is selected by the testator to be the executor will need to be completely informed about all assets and financial information. A discussion about all of the specifications of the will should be held. However, in the event that the spouse is unable to make sound decisions, it may be a better option to appoint a third party as the executor.
There are other documents besides a will that are often appropriate when estate planning matters are being considered. It is often important to plan on what will happen if a person becomes incapacitated and is unable to make financial decisions. In such an event, it may be advisable to consider appointing the spouse as an agent under a power of attorney covering these types of situations. An attorney who has experience in estate planning matters can often be of assistance in preparing these documents. | https://www.swirenlawfirm.com/blog/2015/06/the-importance-of-a-spouse-in-estate-planning.shtml | 2018-10-15T17:57:42 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

At the time when many retailers are searching for a perfect user experience as a sort of cure-all solution for their woes, it is little wonder that their efforts brought to light new ways of using already existing technologies. As UX has imposed itself as a guiding beacon among business models, a less metaphorical source of innovation was found through in-store beacons which have finally matured enough to enjoy widespread adoption among forward-thinking retailers. In addition to offering a seamless fusion of offline and online shopping experiences, they established themselves as a solution for winning the favor of clients and influencing their shopping habits. If this is not good enough for you, stay with us for a couple of minutes to learn how in-store beacons can become one of the best things to happen to your retail business.
Under the Hood
Beacons emerged as a response to what customers have come to appreciate as part of their online shopping experience, its personalization. When shopping online, the whole of their interaction with products is subtly guided by the shopping patterns they exhibited earlier, based on gathered analytical data. Thanks to this, e-commerce stores managed to offer a highly personalized experience to them, in form of special offers and product suggestions based on previous shopping history. This was found largely lacking when the clients came to physical retail stores for the same purpose.
In a drive to offer enhanced user experience, retailers turned to beacons. In essence, these are low-cost transmitters using Bluetooth Smart technology to send messages to customers based on their relative proximity to the store/beacon. Installed beacons interact with retailer applications already installed on customers’ smartphones with a range of transmission going from 1 to 70 or even 450 meters.
Beacons as Pillars of Marketing Intelligence
At the most basic level, received messages offer relevant store-related information to the customers who have installed the appropriate brand’s application. They include promotional offers, information on new products or digital coupons, all of which serve as an invitation to enter the store. Yet, making the customer cross the doorstep is (literally) only one step, necessitating turning the beacons into devices which will ensure that shoppers come back as often as possible.
This is made possible by making beacons one of the pillars of long-term retail marketing strategy. By interacting with customers’ applications and learning their movements, retailers are able to receive valuable information about foot traffic and real-life behavior of customers in brick-and-mortar stores. They are also used for gathering data on in-store traffic, providing insight into its patterns as well as the length of customers’ shopping sessions. For example, they can learn how long the customers stays before a particular beacon-powered display, thus informing product and ad placement segments of marketing campaigns.
At the same time, beacons not only help with marketing campaign design, as they can be used to check their outcomes as well. For example, Google’s own Eddystone beacon platform was used to check the impact of search and local ads on visits to retail stores in form of a study. The study showed that the use of mobile search ads has driven the number of store visits well above the number of online purchase conversions. Used in this manner, beacons have become an important marketing evaluation tool, which will only cement their future with the marketers’ crowd.
Beacons of Hope: UX Personalization
The use of beacons in retail is not limited to marketing applications, as they are now utilized to deliver a next-gen level of customer service as well. In accordance with a general demand for personalization of shopping experience, these devices help retailers learn as much as they can about customers prior to directly engaging them.
For example, beacons can be used to read the customer’s loyalty cards and information contained in their saved wishlists or Pinterest tags. This information becomes available to sales assistants who use them to learn more about the customers, without having to interrupt their shopping experience with a line of questioning. For instance, customers who frequent discount racks can be identified so sales associates can give them information on items that are currently on sale in this category.
This can become an automatized process, as well. If, for example, a shopper buys a clothing item at a retail store, this can be easily followed up by sending him/her a complementary offer of another item via e-mail or application, based on the data collected by beacons. The offered item can be made available for purchase both online or at a physical outlet, while the notifying of buyers in this manner can be automatic whenever they happen to come in the proximity of the store.
Recognizing beacons’ potential for shopping personalization, American clothing and accessories retailer American Eagle Outfitters used its Shopkick beacon app to welcome customers with a personalized message whenever they entered a store. This message also contained information on rewards, special offers, discount and product recommendations. UK retailer House of Fraser went even further by integrating beacons with its store mannequins which send messages on the items of clothing they wear, as well as their locations within a store.

Beacon-Based Messaging Influences Shopping Habits
As it became clear that interaction between beacons and customers rests on the use of downloaded applications, this initially raised some worries that this prerequisite may hurt efforts aimed at the popularization of beacons. Yet, these fears were dispelled when a study by Swirl has shown that 73% shoppers who received beacon-triggered messages via apps said that this increased probability of them buying items during a store visit. At the same time, 61% of them said that receiving these messages made them come to visit stores more frequently.
Yet, retailers responded to this app dependency by offering customers attractive multimedia content with them, even through the use of third-party apps, instead of internally developed ones. At the same time, developers are advised to put themselves in the shopper’s shoes and try to imagine the type of messages they would love to receive via these apps. In order to ensure their relevancy, these messages contain real-time offers to buyers inside a store, together with received descriptions of products upon detecting customers in their proximity.
These messages can be easily outfitted with attractive graphical, video and animation presentations, which allows retailers to fully leverage existing technology to engage customers as profoundly as possible. French multinational retail chain Carrefour recognized the potential of this technology to drive its customer engagement rate up by an astounding 400%. They designed intuitive applications that customers use to find their way at stores more easily, with the help of information on products and specialized offers specific to each of the store’s departments.
Finally, beacons also found their use at the end of the customer’s journey, by promising to do away with problems plaguing queue management. Stores with installed beacons now allow users to pay in real time with their smartphones, without having to fiddle with their wallet or cards.
And that’s huge. Research has confirmed that a vast majority of shoppers would avoid a store with long queues. Intel and Box Technologies conducted research back in 2015, concluding that 86 percent of shoppers are frustrated with long queues and would just avoid the store.
What’s more, 70 percent said they’re unlikely to return.
Wrap-up
In-store beacons are merging digital shopping experiences with the physical store, giving CX a significant boost. The CX currently rests on technology’s ability to deliver highly localized and contextual customer experience. It benefits from being able to answer to the empowered customer’s need to have access to detailed product information, timely notifications about available offers and frictionless payment. As such, beacons go beyond being a passing fad or buzzword, and are poised to become a retail mainstay in no time.

Amputation – Medical Malpractice
Unfortunately, negligence during amputations are becoming increasingly common. Whether it is the result of an improperly trained surgeon, a rushed surgery, or any number of factors, negligence can make this difficult process even harder.
An amputation is the surgical removal of an extremity. The amputation procedure varies depending on which extremity the surgery is being performed on, as well as how much bone and tissue needs to be removed. Other factors, such as an individual’s overall health, any pre-existing diseases, and other conditions, can affect how the surgery is approached. A physician will decide the level of amputation required, based upon the healing potential of the limb. He will also take into account any diseases which could affect patient recovery, as well as the overall damage to the area.
During the actual amputation, the damaged tissue is removed, as well as any damaged bone. The surgical team will ensure that the maximum amount of healthy tissue is left behind, while also sealing off any blood vessels and nerve endings. After the amputation has been completed, the physician will decide whether to leave the area open, or to close it off if no further amputation is required.
The amputation process can give rise to a number of complications and life threatening conditions if not performed properly. Patients with advanced heart disease, diabetes, or other conditions, may be at a greater risk for developing post surgical complications. A patient can also develop serious complications as a result of the surgical team being negligent.
The most common forms of surgical negligence involve the amputation of an incorrect extremity, further amputation than necessary, and an improperly performed amputation. Negligence which has resulted in an incorrectly performed amputation, can cause a patient to experience pain in the amputation area due to damaged nerves. Unfortunately, this pain is often chronic and can last for the rest of the patient’s life. If any of these relate to an amputation you have had performed, you may be entitled to compensation. Further, if you developed an infection requiring further amputation, you may also be entitled to compensation.
An amputation can often be a life changing event. This process can be very hard on an individual, often requiring significant rehabilitation time. Negligence on the part of the surgical team performing the amputation can make this healing process even more difficult.

Look in Help in your cd-burning software for How to Make a Bootable CD.
It will make you a bootable cd that emulates a floppy disk. that means you only get 640K on there. It will require that you have prepared a bootable floppy disk for it to emulate. use your norton emergency boot disk as your first test to see what i mean. it is possible to have a batch file in the floppy emulation autoexec that accesses other files on the CD 'beyond' the 640 floppy but i have not been able to get that to work in my fiddling. i believe i have seen it done though.

Twitter has abandoned its famously minimalist homepage in favour of a busier design that promotes celebrity users and selected recent tweets.
"With the new design, we're intentionally featuring more dynamic content on the front page, revealing a sample of who's here, what folks are tweeting about, and the big topics that they're discussing," said the company in a blog introducing the change.
Trending topics now also scroll news-style across the top of the page. Hovering over each one brings down a box giving an explanation of why it has become popular.
The company said it wanted to convey the fact that the service was no longer simply about the exchange of large numbers of ‘status updates' but a network for the spread of more serious information.
"People who internalize the value of Twitter understand the power of this simple medium. But it hasn't been easy to make that value transparent or obvious for curious folks coming to Twitter for the first time," said the blog.
This is a another way of saying that twitter wants the world to see it as more than a forum for people to record mindlessly trivial non-information. Behind the service's huge success it has developed a bit of an image problem. Is anything serious ever recorded on Twitter? Does it engage people on a more significant level than just finding out what celebrities with iPhones are doing?
Tweets from ordinary (non celebrity) members are chosen using unspecified algorithms. Interestingly, these appear to be able to sense location. The list viewed by Techworld highlighted UK-specific tweets.
What the new homepage does do is better explain what the service is about to the surprisingly large number of users who remain immune to its charms.
A recent report from Barracuda Networks highlighted another problem for Twitter - engagement. According to this analysis, large number of people joining Twitter susbsequently don't use the service very much. Much of the site's heat and light is generated by a relatively small minority of hyper-social members. | https://www.techworld.com/news/apps-wearables/twitter-woos-reluctant-users-with-revamp-3218940/ | 2018-10-15T16:38:48 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
S girls, it has emerged..
Issuing a desperate plea she called on the Government to investigate why so many men who share the same cultural background are behind bars for abusing young girls.
But following the Labour leader's demand Ms Champion stepped down from Mr Corbyn's top team.
A source close to Mr Corbyn confirmed he requested she leave his top team, adding that it was not appropriate for Ms Champion to have suggested that Pakistani men are largely responsible for the grooming and rape of young white girls.
Ms Champion apologised for her "extremely poor choice of words" and said she was concerned that continuing in her shadow cabinet role would distract from the "crucial issues" around child protection.
But a source close to the MP said her words had been stripped of "nuance" in the article.
Writing in The Sun she said that Britain has a "problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls".
However critics have warned the Labour MP was hounded out of her position and punished for telling the truth about the issue, which has been the subject of a number of Government reviews and high-profile TV dramas.
It came after fellow Labour MP Naz Shah wrote an open letter to the editor of The Sun, crtic". The Labour leader was thought to have included Ms Champion's article in this.
Critics accused Mr Corbyn of "stalinist" tendancies after he demanded his shadow minister resign for speaking out.." | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/16/sarah-champion-quits-jeremy-corbyns-shadow-cabinet-warning-pakistani/ | 2018-10-15T17:27:50 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

"Sarah Champion has quit the shadow cabinet"

This time he was dragged from the horse. No longer can he hide the torments of a jockey’s life behind ebullience.
Three of Britain’s top Flat jockeys have all hit trouble with substance abuse. Richard Hughes, the current champion, has not touched intoxicating drink since 2005 and recently added to the 'misery lit’ section in bookshops by revealing details of his alcoholism in his memoirs. Kieren Fallon, the most troubled of the leading Flat race pilots, was banned twice for using cocaine: on the second occasion, for 18 months, shortly after he was cleared at the Old Bailey on race-fixing charges.
By any standards this is quite a treble. To have Dettori, Fallon and Hughes all in the shadowland of drink and drugs must tell us something about the private needs and torments of the men who propel horses around our racetracks, usually on a diet of black coffee and fresh air.
The difference with Dettori is that he was the first rider to seek fame for its own sake. He built a brand based on giggling and good cheer. A jockey’s life is often drawn as one of heroic self-denial: of starvation, sweat boxes, dawn starts and 300-mile round trips for a single gaff track ride. A winner of more than 3,000 races, and the best known rider since Lester Piggott, Dettori came to see a gap in the market, and developed a popular image as a quiz-show panellist, restaurateur and punter’s pal, who would leap off his horse in the winner’s enclosure and fall into an embrace with the victorious owner (often Sheikh Mohammed, the head of Dubai’s ruling clan).
Racing loved this. And why not? A sport of inscrutable, famished Lilliputians, who spent much of their lives scrubbing away and flashing whips, had found a personality who would engage the floating viewer. If you took Piggott and came up with his exact opposite you would be legging Dettori into the saddle. The only similarity was a talent for mastering horses in big races and a gift for compulsion at the end.
At Dettori’s end of the business, riding is more than just skipping breakfast and booting winners home. It is a darker mix of staying on the right side of Sheikhs, managing an image and playing to the gallery of winner-greedy punters. He made it all look easy but it never was. No positive test for a recreational drug would be necessary to demonstrate the strains of work, family and celebrity.
There will be those who say this is over-thinking a very simple issue.
Jockeys cannot drink without gaining weight and so cocaine offers them a zero-calorie pressure-relieving 'high’. It may just be the drug of choice for 8 st men. But they all know the risks of testing positive. Neither Fallon nor Dettori, who was caught by police in London with a cocaine wrap in 1993, was sufficiently scared of the consequences to resist temptation.
Dettori was the first Flat jockey who took a conscious decision to be an entertainer away from the saddle. There was no template, unless we stretch the point to Willie Carson, who was born with a glass-cracking giggle that opened doors while also scattering cats. To adopt a persona of unbreakable cheeriness always invites trouble in the end; and for Dettori a positive test in September delivered him to the nadir in a tough year of political battles to hold on to his No1 spot in Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin operation.
The timeline is a conspiracy theorist’s dream. On Sept 15, Godolphin’s new golden boy Mickael Barzalona won the St Leger on the team’s Encke. The following day Dettori tested positive. On October 3 he agreed to ride Camelot in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe for Godolphin’s enemy, the Coolmore team, in Ireland: a decision that was relayed by text and rendered Dettori’s position in the royal blue silks untenable. Eighteen days later his association with Godolphin ended.
Either Dettori took something to ease his disappointment at losing out to Barzalona in the St Leger and tested positive the next day or the substance had been in his system for longer. Either way, the Camelot decision raises questions about when, precisely, he knew Godolphin would be dumping him, and how that knowledge, or fear, shaped his actions.
Presenting Top of the Pops must have seemed a good wheeze at the time. As the commercial opportunities multiplied, happiness became Dettori’s calling card: a hard routine to maintain when you have ridden 10 losers, a new young talent is coming up the rails and the body aches for food. Dettori, as everyone on the racing circuit knows, could be as grumpy and curt as anyone in his sometimes brutally-austere profession.
It seems an age ago that Steve Cauthen thought he had a drink problem because one glass of champagne made him woozy. Coping, and escapism, are more sophisticated now – and the consequences of being caught much stiffer, especially when the public persona is partly-manufactured.

In its first season, the show's gone from a Zooey Deschanel quirkfest to a funny, accurate picture of the awkwardness of young adulthood.
A funny thing has happened on New Girl. Somewhere along the way, the show that started as a potentially irritating ode to star Zooey Deschanel's signature quirkiness became one of the more enjoyable sitcoms on television. As its freshman season wraps up this week, it's also evolved into a sneakily clever take on young adulthood.
Deschanel was already a polarizing figure when New Girl launched last fall—your tolerance for both her and her character, Jess, likely hinges on how much you relate to the need to curl up in a ball and watch Dirty Dancing on a loop post break-up. Or whether you are the kind of person who might own adult-sized footie pajamas. Early on in the season, Jess was a disappointingly one-note character, all cutesy eccentricity and little substance. In one episode she insisted on wearing fake hillbilly teeth to a wedding, and and in another she became so uncomfortable after accidentally seeing one of her three male roommates naked that she couldn't bring herself to say the word "penis." When she first moved in after discovering that her live-in boyfriend was having an affair, her roommates were understandably bewildered by this strange, doe-eyed creature who seemed capable of little more than weeping and bursting spontaneously into song.
But as the season progressed, the writing became both warmer and sharper, focusing more on the talented ensemble cast and tempering Jess's excessive awkwardness with a much-needed dose of self-awareness. In one episode, she goes head-to-head with Julia, a tough-girl lawyer who dismissively refers to Jess's kittens-and-rainbows outlook as her "whole thing." In response, Jess proclaims: "I brake for birds. I rock a lot of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours...and that doesn't mean I'm not smart and tough and strong!" While this may not have won over all the skeptics, it was a smart choice to make Jess's foil a worthy opponent. Without dismissing the criticisms of both Deschanel and the character, it allowed Jess to show a tougher side to her personality and to make a case for her unique brand of femininity.
The show, which was initially presented as a standard-issue sitcom about young people sharing an improbably large loft, has become more perceptive in other ways as well. Comedies about attractive groups of urbanites—like the granddaddy of them all, Friends, or even the more grounded How I Met Your Mother—tend to gloss over the economic hardships and crippling self-doubt of youth as fleeting plot points. But New Girl is firmly entrenched in its characters' neuroses and regularly tackles the thorny question of what happens when the trappings of young adulthood (sharing an apartment with multiple roommates, toiling at low-wage jobs, eschewing health insurance), stop being fun and become a little bit depressing/embarrassing.
Related Story
The characters may spend most of their time hanging out in the aforementioned loft, engaging in 20-something activities like secretly hooking up with (or crushing on) one another, inventing drinking games vaguely based on American history, and forcing roommate Schmidt to contribute money to the apartment's "Douchebag Jar" for offenses like owning a newsboy cap. But the show also highlights the downsides of extended adolescence. None of the roommates seem capable of maintaining an adult relationship, and their dating lives are tinged with mounting desperation. Jess is a teacher and Schmidt holds a nebulous office job that allows him to buy fine cheeses and hair chutney, but other members of the gang are flailing professionally. Winston, reinventing himself after his athletic career flamed out, divides his time between babysitting and interning for a verbally abusive radio host. Nick, arguably the most emotionally stunted member of the group and Jess's inevitable love interest, is a law school drop-out-turned-bartender who is humiliatingly turned away from buying a cell phone due to a low credit score.
"I've never seen a score this low," the store employee says. "Did you just wake up from a coma?"
New Girl isn't the only recession-era comedy to confront the realities of being young, broke, and struggling to gain a toehold into the adult world (2 Broke Girls and Lena Dunham's Girls both come to mind). But New Girl also stands slightly apart from its girl-titled peers in that its characters are all circling 30 (despite her ability to project childlike wonder through her giant anime eyes, Deschanel is in fact a fully grown woman), and the view is a little bit different four or five years into a quarter-life crisis.
This in-betweener angst was crystallized in a recent storyline that centered around Jess dating a successful older man. Jess struggles to reconcile a functioning adult relationship with a guy her roommates refer to as "Fancy Man" and her world of party buses and co-ed bathrooms with faulty plumbing. On their first date, when the Fancy Man has to leave halfway through dinner to deal with an issue involving his daughter, he sends Jess off with money for a cab and an awkwardly paternal hug. She returns home to find Nick throwing a party with a group of college students. "Why is the cast of The Social Network in our apartment?" she asks. The answer: they are in awe of Nick's ability to make a Bay Breeze.
"They don't know what Saved by the Bell is, and they've never felt pain," he cries plaintively.
The roommates on New Girl aren't stumbling into adulthood so much as they're stuck on the threshold—clearly too old for the frat house but not yet financially or emotionally prepared to enter the world of fancy men (and women). As Jess declares in one of her less sunny moments: "30 sucks!"
In this respect, New Girl is one of the more authentic portraits of young folks on television. The show's evolution from "adorkable" star vehicle to engaging ensemble comedy proves that, regardless of its characters credit scores, it's done a lot of growing up this season.

The recent Supreme Court judgments in the cases of Gohil and Sharland made it clear that courts will not tolerate people lying about their financial position when dealing with finances related to their divorce. The media reported the possibility of divorce settlements being re-opened up and down the land, but I'm not sure about that. If you are divorced and a few years later your ex-husband or ex-wife’s financial position seems much better than you would have expected, what can you do? To start with, you do need to have some evidence of your ex-spouse’s current position rather than just a feeling that they have not told the truth.
TWM Solicitors regularly advise individuals who have found out something about their ex-husband or ex-wife’s financial position that they were not aware of at the time of the divorce or who are looking to vary maintenance upwards or downwards due to a change in circumstances. In these scenarios it is often really useful to spend some time with a family solicitor to explore whether it is worth taking any further action. Ahead of any such discussions, if you think that your ex-spouse has not told the truth, you will need to get together the following information:
The critical point to prove is whether it seems that your ex-husband or ex-wife lied or misrepresented their financial position, or whether their position has simply improved since you reached agreement or an order was imposed on you. A solicitor would need to investigate whether you had full and frank financial disclosure from your ex-spouse or whether you had decided not to pursue this.
With increases in values of properties or companies, it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether the asset has just grown in value since the date of the settlement with the person having told the truth previously, or whether there was some information that was known at the time that was not disclosed.
If you are dealing with your divorce now, this case underlines the need to ensure you do give full information to avoid being accused of misrepresentation and risking having your case reopened in future.
If it seems that your ex has lied, it may be possible for a previous order to be set aside. If it seems you would be unlikely to succeed in this kind of application it may be a case where a variation of maintenance may be appropriate or it may be what is known as “Barder” event where a value is so significantly different from what was expected (even genuinely) at the time of settlement, that it is appropriate to re-open the financial agreement. It is much more difficult to re-open an agreement on this basis than on the basis of someone having lied, because of taking into account natural market fluctuations.
TWM Solicitors are always happy to offer an hour or two’s advice to help put your mind at rest as to whether it would be appropriate to revisit your order in any way.

Sean Edwards extended his lead in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland standings with his maiden win in the series in very wet conditions at the Norisring. The Team Deutsche Post by tolimit driver became the sixth different winner from six races in 2011.
Martin Ragginger made a good start to take the lead at the start of the race from second on the grid. Nicki Thiim moved up from sixth to second, with Edwards in third. Polesitter Nick Tandy meanwhile dropped to fourth.
On lap five Edwards took the lead of the race from Ragginger at the Grundigkehre-hairpin. From there he retained his lead until the checkered flag. Rene Rast, fresh from his win at the Carrera World Cup, soon took second place from Ragginger at the same place. Rast looked set to finish second but was passed by Thiim on lap 31.
Behind Rast, fourth went to Jan Seyffarth. The SMS Motorsport driver started third on the grid but fell back as far as eighth before working his way back through to fourth. Tandy finished fifth ahead of Jeroen Bleekemolen. Jaap van Lagen was seventh, with Norbert Siedler eighth and fellow Austrian Ragginger slipping to ninth. Kevin Estre finished tenth on his first start in the German series.
Edwards' win puts him 14 points clear of teammate Bleekemolen in the standings, with Tandy two points further behind in third.
“I got too much wheelspin at the start so I didn't get away well,” said Edwards. “But my teammate from last year, Sascha Maassen, shared a couple of tricks with me for the first corner and I profited from them. Martin Ragginger experienced traction problems, so it wasn't hard getting past him.
“For a while I feared that Réne was closing in. But he became caught up in a duel with Nicki Thiim and that gave me room to breath. With three races left on the calendar we're on top of the driver and team classifications – it doesn't get better than that.”
Thiim, who won at Lausitz, enjoyed his run to second place. “The race was great fun,” he said. “I fought with many drivers, that's the sort of racing I love. It proved difficult to get past René, but I did it in the end. If the race were only a couple of laps longer I might have overtaken Sean, too, but I didn't want to take that risk. Second place is tremendous.”
Rast seemed satisfied with third place. “My start was average and I lost a couple of positions, but I made them up again. Sean took off at the front and managed to distance himself a bit. Towards the end of the race, Nicki Thiim came shooting up from behind. We fought each other for some time but then I had to let him pass, he was simply too fast. Third place was the maximum I could manage today, so I'm okay with that.”
The next round of the championship takes place at the Grand Prix circuit at the Nurburgring on 7th August.

“She must have been miserable,” one of my Facebook “friends” wrote as a kind of eulogy for Margaret Thatcher. I had to disagree. Margaret Thatcher, before she began to suffer from dementia, had, in every recorded moment of her political career (as well as her writing after that career was over) the same joy as Pat Buchanan has in his television appearances: the both of them completely certain of their completely wrong beliefs, energized and eager to shout down anyone who dared to disagree. Only the most skilled actors can fake that kind of relish and confidence, and for Thatcher, with her false “posh” accent and her unconvincing, heavily coached body language (as one comedian pointed out, she tilted her head one way and then another in an attempt to make herself seem as if she were listening to and considering the opinions of her rivals), acting was never her strong suit.
I lived in London for the last half of 1983, and although Thatcher had just won her first reelection bid (and would rule for another seven years) she was despised in every social circle that touched my life– by people who would never dream of grouping themselves together under other circumstances. From the wealthy, titled, racist family I worked for (Labour supporters in spite of themselves, though the stay-at-home son had made an aborted run for parliament as a Liberal that year) to every punk and post-punk British musician whose concerts I attended on my nights off: the contempt for Thatcher seemed to permeate the whole city like the scent of damp chalk.
I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but I suspect Margaret Thatcher is the person in human history whose death was most often–and in explicit terms–wished for in popular song. So many great musicians have written anti-Thatcher songs that the ones who are still around could put on a daylong concert together, an all-star affair (well, stars of a certain era). And then do another the same time next year.
Most hatred directed toward women politicians is, at its core, misogyny. If Thatcher had been “Martin” instead of “Margaret,” his hairstyle and clothing would have come under less scrutiny, his nickname would never have been “The Iron Gentleman,” and no one would have called him a “witch” or “bitch”–though they still would have called him a “cunt” because in British vernacular, when used to describe a person, “cunt” is a gender-neutral term. But his government’s policies would have brought about the same deep and lasting damage: British people would have hated “Marty” the same way they hated “Maggie.”
The animosity toward Ronald “Ronnie” Reagan in the U.S. was also bitter and well-earned: when the announcement came that Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer’s, the HIV-positive host of a local LGBT radio show said, “On the cosmic scale of retribution, that diagnosis isn’t even close. He forgets he has it.”
But Reagan did, in his wooden, washed-up-matinee-idol way, portray himself as a sunny, friendly figure, appealing to a wide variety of Amercians (minus anyone who was poor, queer, or not white). “It’s morning in America,” Reagan’s 1984 reelection campaign trumpeted– and he won by a landslide. The fact that he seemed a little… absent while he was still in office, years before his diagnosis became public, made his death less of an occasion for cake and champagne.
Thatcher’s persona was one of someone who knew exactly what she was doing: “the right thing,” but for people who were too stupid to know what was good for them. It was “mourning” never “morning” in Thatcher’s Britain. People who celebrate Thatcher’s death are simply reciprocating the disdain she showed for her own citizenry.
Her policies devastated the lives of so many British people that she was still a presence in the decades after she was forced out of office, bobbing up like a long-submerged corpse from a river bed. Nearly ten years after I’d lived in London, when we were both in a city thousands of miles away, a friend mentioned to me that his father had lost his livelihood during the failed miners’ strike which started soon after I left England and lasted 51 weeks. Before the strike’s end I heard many times, on college radio, a British post-punk song which included a spoken intro from a union leader. He said if the miners didn’t win, the rest of the unions would lose too. Today, union membership (for every profession) across Britain is half what it was when Thatcher took office.
The tendency to mischaracterize Thatcher is part of a larger trend in which progressives try to soothe themselves by imagining that the right, in spite of their many victories in elections and policy decisions, are, at heart, tortured souls. “They’re probably very unhappy people,” we say. We want our conservative foes to have sleepless nights, a dread of facing the bathroom mirror in the morning and when they finally do, we want them to burst into tears and begin a slow downward slide against the tiled wall, the way characters in movies behave after they do horrible things.
Most progressives haven’t cut benefits to seniors, children, and the disabled, haven’t written homophobia into law, nor have we supported dictators in the slaughter of their own people. Still, even those of us who fight against these and similar measures struggle with self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness. We anguish, in the company of friends and therapists, over our small everyday failings. Of course we think the people who have commited great wrongs should struggle more than we do. But I haven’t found much, if any, conflict in the right-wing bigots I’ve known.
At least two of my uncles were on the wrong side (the racist one) of busing in South Boston in the 1970s. The “Kiss Me I’m Irish” buttons and other green St. Patrick’s Day parade paraphernalia they bought for all the nieces and nephews every year came from a cart with a sign saying all profits went to the neighborhood “anti-busing” hate group. My uncles were good friends with one of the most notoriously homophobic, racist, and misogynistic city councillors in my town’s history: the week after I’d been to a protest against that guy, I saw him at my cousin’s wedding reception. My right-wing uncles were also cheerful people, fun and good company. I haven’t been in touch with them in years, but I would wager that neither of them has lost a moment’s sleep over the racist or sexist things they’ve thought, said, or done. But I wouldn’t say their wives were especially happy women.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, the attempts to laud Thatcher in death as a feminist groundbreaker are outrageous, considering her record. Trying to portray Thatcher as a success in the push for women’s rights is also sexist: no man who showed as much contempt for women in general and feminism in particular would find himself posthumously labeled a feminist superhero. The was-she-or-wasn’t-she argument is itself a distraction from Thatcher’s legacy. Even the discussion on the “no” side implies the main problem with Thatcher was: she never mentored other women to take her place in government! Debating whether Thatcher was a feminist is as pointless as debating whether Hosni Mubarak should have had more diversity in his cabinet.
Instead of denouncing Thatcher for her policies, feminists have spent more time this past week denouncing each other, for greeting her death in a less than respectful manner or for disagreeing with knee-jerk assumptions about Thatcher like, “She must have been miserable.” This pattern is an old one detailed in Susan Faludi’s recent New Yorker portrait of a true feminist groundbreaker, Shulamith Firestone, “the epicenter of the radical-feminist movement” as well as the author of bestselling The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution. The article chronicles how Firestone and many other feminist founders of the 1960s and early 70s were torn down and “trashed” by their fellow “sisters” in the movement and eventually forced out of the groups and collectives they started– over disagreements that seem arcane and niggling forty-odd-years later. Those second-wave feminists vilified each other while the world unraveled around them. Perhaps now would be a good time to resist repeating that mistake, and instead try to find the good in women who aren’t Margaret Thatcher.

Black: Cleaning up messes
June 1, 2017
Ask yourself "Do you make messes, or clean them up?"
Missy is 53, would rather be at home with her two grandchildren, works for the city and was ordered to work late. Her back hurts as she leans on her push cart and broom. Missy watches a CNN reporter interview an activist who symbolically throws a protest sign at the broom's feet.
"It's a good sign of solidarity," the activist boasts.
When you sit at home watching the continuing protest, marching, window-smashing, burning buildings, dissing school faculties and political mud-slinging all being done in the name of a cause…do you ever think, "WHO is going to clean this mess up?"
It appears that it is NOT the ones who made the mess. They must be exhausted after shouting, marching and carrying those heavy signs. Afterwards, the celebrity speakers are probably swept away in their limos, then flown back to their gated communities in time to see themselves on CNN spouting more hate speech than Hitler's scriptwriter could keep up with!
I suspect part of the protesters and marchers are shamed by the personally degrading behavior they get associated with. They depart as quickly as they can, leaving their "enthusiastic cohorts" to break windows, set cars on fire and loot the neighborhood … leaving WHO to clean up? There are examples of protesters who made an effort to clean up their mess. The Native Americans and 'environmentalists' protesting against the North Dakota Access Pipeline tried, but the quagmire of abandoned garbage, teepees, vehicles and human waste made it impossible. The Army spent $1.1 million to make it safe again.
Recommended Stories For You
470,000 marchers in The Women's March in Washington, D.C., were encouraged to leave their signs with sticks or cardboard on the street as a "slap in the face" to their nemesis. How easy is it to bend over and pick up a flat piece of cardboard from the sidewalk? How about picking up 200,000 of them?
New York City, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia equate to mountainous, immense, huge, gigantic, megalithic piles of detritus left by … what's a good word to describe the protesters and marchers? Changers? Supporters? Good Intentioneers? Sincere Obstructers? Meaning Wellers? How about "Protesters Offended by Other Protesters?"
Well, what do they all have in common? Imagine a circus parade with both Elephants and Protesters Offended by Other Protesters … POOPsters. It would be fair to say neither POOPsters nor Elephants give a poop about the mess they make. Which brings us back to the question, WHO cleans up the mess? The ANSWER is the city garbage crews, the EMTs, nurses, tow-truck drivers, firemen, city police, food service workers, hospital emergency lifesavers and all those people whose store, business, office, church or home has been vandalized or demolished … that's WHO.
If you are part of this poop parade, regardless of the cause, think of the mess as your legacy. Think of them as having to change your diaper after you've done your business. Even if 25 percent of the POOPsters had the character or self-respect of Missy, WHO does clean up your mess, maybe people would take you seriously.❖ | https://www.thefencepost.com/news/opinion/black-cleaning-up-messes/ | 2018-10-15T17:37:28 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
The Mindset of a Top Entrepreneur
Great entrepreneurs don’t just show up to work.
They take the time to get their mind right first.
It’s vital to realise that your state of mind each day plays a huge part on how well you perform, how much you get done, and how big your company grows.
In my experience coaching literally hundreds of entrepreneurs, the very best ones have these 3 mindsets.
THEY HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS
Intelligence is not enough to succeed in business. Nor is effort. You need to set much higher standards for yourself than others do.
The single fastest way you can change your life is to take a few minutes to conceive a different and higher set of standards for how you will behave from now on.
What will you no longer accept? From you, your partners, your team and your suppliers?
Get clear on those higher standards and insist that others in your orbit stick to them.
I guarantee you, your results will change within 24 hours when you do this.
THEY FOCUS ON THE PRECIOUS FEW
It’s fascinating to watch mediocre performers work. They are often very hard workers, but they focus large amounts of time on things that don’t really matter that much.
One of the greatest myths about highly successful people is that they get super human amounts of work done.
The reality is that often they do not, but they get more of the precious few tasks that actually matter done – they phone the right person, make the right decision, move the right goal forward.
They may not work longer hours (indeed they regularly work shorter hours) but they are very careful to spend their time doing the things that will really move their business (and their life) forward.
THEY REMAIN OPTIMISTIC UNDER PRESSURE
Anyone can be an optimist when work is going well. The best performers are able to maintain their enthusiasm and hope even when everyone around them has given up, or is expecting failure.
They do this by:
- Looking relentlessly for solutions and new steps forward.
- Disciplining themselves to focus their mind on their desired vision, rather than their immediate circumstances.
There is a lot of wisdom in those last two points. I urge you to take a moment to really think about them, and whether you are using them enough in your own life.
If you can establish and stick to very high standards, focus on the precious few activities that really matter and train yourself to remain optimistic even when under pressure, I can unreservedly tell you this:
You will live a life of extraordinary success. | https://www.thefortuneinstitute.com/blog/The-Mindset-Top-Entrepreneur | 2018-10-15T17:13:56 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

After Shinzo Abe’s crushing defeat of the opposition in Sunday’s election five Japan experts give their views on what lies ahead for the country – and the region.
We need to talk about pacifism
A mature debate about constitutional reform is exactly what Japan needs right now. It’s extremely important, but it’s been largely sidetracked by ideological disagreements from both the left and right. The left insists that the pacifist Article 9 must remain untouched. That’s not a realistic proposition because the world has changed and Article 9 is now something of an anachronism. It’s not realistic to keep it in the current environment, with Chinese ambitions and uncertainty over the US’s willingness to continue contributing to regional security in the way it has done before.
It’s unavoidable that countries like Japan and Australia need to contribute more to help keep the status quo in place. I can’t see any country in the region, with the exceptions of China and North Korea, opposing a more normal security stance by Japan. Gone are the days when south-east Asia and Australia were concerned about a revival of Japanese militarism.
In terms of Japan’s relations with the US, if Japan wants to maintain its alliance with the US and build security relations with others then the benefits have to go both ways. As we know, these days Washington has no time for freeloaders on security.
Michael Heazle, associate professor at Griffith University in Brisbane
Abe’s dream of change is within his grasp
Liberalism is on life-support in 21st century Japan as the political centre has shifted rightward, but Yukio Edano’s Constitutional Democratic party caught fire and is the Cinderella story of his election.
Edano represents principled uncompromising resistance to constitutional revision and favours repeal of the 2015 security legislation that most of the public also oppose. He will also tap into public perceptions that Abenomics is welfare for the wealthy and has caused growing disparities in Japanese society. Edano is now the torchbearer of liberalism in Japan, and even if the flame now seems flickering, his party is well positioned to expose Abe’s shortcomings and flaws.
Abe sees that his dream (of constitutional revision) is within his grasp. Although public opinion now is not in favour of revision, if he pushes revisions through the Diet and holds a national referendum there will be a massive PR campaign to persuade the public to back the proposals. With a little help from Pyongyang and Beijing, I wager the chances are fairly good Abe can prevail.
Jeff Kingston, director of Asian studies at Temple University in Tokyo
Don’t expect major changes
Abe’s retention of a small supermajority makes it easier to pass a constitutional amendment bill in the lower house.
But there will be no major shifts in economic policy. On security, it will remain the case that the Japan-US alliance equals good, and North Korea bad.
The Party of Hope briefly emerged as a viable alternative to the ruling coalition. Suffice it to say that the Tokyo governor, Yuriko Koike, again displayed her worst traits – an inability to take counsel and a penchant for secretive decision-making - that made a disaster out of the deal that she cut with the then biggest opposition party, the Democrats.
Meanwhile, Japan looks likely to limp through its early 21st century Indian summer, at least through the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Considering what is happening in some countries in the west – of which Japan is arguably a part – it could be worse.
Jun Okumura, visiting scholar at the Meiji Institute for Global Affairs
Abe has no mandate - despite his landslide
Because of faults in Japan’s first past the post electoral system there is a huge gap between public opinion on key issues and the distribution of seats in the Diet. It’s hard to say that Abe has a real mandate for constitutional reform, even though the LDP won by a landslide.
With such a low turnout, it isn’t as if the LDP and Abe enjoy huge public support. It is yet another case of the LDP benefiting from electoral system dysfunction and a divided opposition.
The constitution is the most divisive issue – it’s like Brexit in the UK. It’s part of a global shift from interest-based politics – who gets what – to identity politics. In America, it’s immigration and abortion, in Britain it’s the EU and in Japan it’s the constitution. Japanese people are being asked if they are happy with postwar liberal democracy or whether they want to revive an older Japan and its values.
It’s a deeply emotional issue, particularly for Abe. That’s why he is talking about it, even though he already pushed through a law allowing Japan to engage in collective self-defence. Why else would he bother with the constitution, especially when there are more pressing issues such as the economy and ageing society?
The coalition has the numbers in parliament, but it’s safe to say that the public is at least very divided on constitutional reform. It is not clear at all that Abe would win a simple majority in a national referendum (a requirement to revise the constitution). As Brexit proved, incumbent governments don’t necessarily get their way in referendums.
Koichi Nakano, professor of political science at Sophia University in Tokyo
No progress for women in this election
The election caused a lot of excitement, with the main opposition Democratic Party effectively disbanding and the emergence of two new political parties.
The other story, unfortunately common but one mostly unremarked upon, is the lack of progress for women’s political representation. Male domination of politics in Japan is so normative and so long-standing that it is almost unremarkable.
Yet, the fact that one of the world’s most economically advanced countries with a relatively strong record on human rights and women’s empowerment in health and education, comes last amongst OECD countries when it comes to political and economic empowerment, raises questions about democracy and equality.
The long-ruling Liberal Democratic party’s enduring grip on power and the low level of female political representation are not unrelated. A mere 8% of LDP candidates in Sunday’s election were women. Women’s groups have been campaigning for the introduction of gender quotas as a way of addressing the gender imbalance in politics for more than 20 years, and the LDP is more consistent than any other major party in its opposition to such measures.
Indeed, a bill to encourage parties to implement internal gender quotas was effectively quashed, before having a chance to be voted on, when Shinzo Abe called the snap election. With the LDP in power again, increased attention to addressing this problem seems unlikely.
Dr Emma Dalton, lecturer in Japanese at RMIT University in Melbourne

Odell Beckham‘s early exit to the locker room before halftime and his tardy sideline arrival at the start of the second half drew plenty of attention during the New York Giants‘ 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.
After the game, Beckham told reporters he left for the locker room to be administered an IV since he was cramping up.
“Dehydrated again,” Giants coach Pat Shurmur said about Beckham, who also left early against the Saints two weeks ago to get an IV. “Some guys’ bodies dehydrate quicker than others, so we just have to keep looking for ways to make sure he stays hydrated.”
Television cameras captured Beckham trudging off to the locker room just before the Giants ran their last offensive play of what was a dismal first-half showing that buried them under a 24-6 deficit. He then rejoined his teammates on the sideline after the second-half opening kickoff.
Upon returning, Beckham was fired up. Cameras showed him head-butting and smacking a sideline cooling fan before turning around and shouting while walking among his teammates on the sideline. Shurmur said he didn’t see Beckham hit the cooling fan.
“He can’t do that. He shouldn’t do that,” Shurmur said.
Still, it’s easy to understand Beckham’s apparent frustration and eagerness to motivate his teammates. Eli Manning struggled the entire night and was unable to generate any drive-sustaining consistency in the passing game. Had it not been for rookie running back Saquon Barkley‘s superlative effort, there’s a very good chance the Giants could have been shut out.
Beckham made six catches on 10 targets for 44 yards. The performance comes in the wake of Beckham voicing his frustrations about the Giants offense in comments that didn’t sit well with Shurmur. Beckham tried to explain his feelings to the media after the game.
“I just hate losing. That’s the bottom line,” Beckham said. “[We] just got to keep going, keep digging, keep digging ⦠it’s really all you can do — keep digging and working harder or you can give up, and I don’t think anybody in here is giving up.”
With the Giants standing at 1-5 on the heels of their third consecutive loss, it’s clear the team is heading down the same trajectory that characterized last season’s campaign. Beckham said the team needs to respond.
“The record is what it is,” Beckham said. “How you overcome that, how you handle adversity, that’s just going to be our M.O.”

Are You a Good Candidate for Pet Self-Insurance?
It takes a dedicated saver to make self-insurance work for them.
Pet insurance has saved the lives of many a beloved pet. And while more pet owners are purchasing these policies, there are some who’d prefer another way to protect their furry BFFs. After all, you’re paying a certain amount of money per month to an insurance company, and you may or may not use it. Either way, your money goes to your insurance provider. But that doesn’t sit well with some; they’d rather have control over their savings. That’s why the concept of self-insurance is so attractive—you’re taking on the responsibility of providing the money needed for your pet’s health care.
What is Self-Insurance?
Self-insurance is taking policy coverage into your own hands. Rather than paying into an insurance policy each month, you put away enough money to cover your pet’s medical bills. This money should cover everything from regular checkups and medications, to emergency surgery. Any kind of insurance is like gambling, but with self-insurance, that saved money is yours to do what you want with should your pet not require any expensive treatment.
Most self-insurers set up a bank account and budget a certain amount per paycheck or month to go into it. If your cat or dog does need veterinary attention at any point, you pay the bills from the fund you’ve set up. Seems simple, right? Not so fast—there are other considerations to keep in mind.
Dog-Related Injury or Accident
Pet insurance doesn’t always cover just medical bills; there are certain policies that cover legal fees and damages caused by your dog. With self-insurance, you’re liable for your pet’s actions. Incidences that fall into this category include bites and property damage. If the injury is serious enough to keep someone home from work, you need to pay the bills (and they rack up pretty quickly). Even good dogs create unintentional accidents—perhaps he ran out on the road to chase a squirrel, a car swerves to miss him and hits a tree. It’s your responsibility to cover the costs. It may be covered under your home owners insurance, but if not, you’re on your own. Give your insurance company a call to see if you’re covered in case of this kind of accident, as every state and company differs. If not and you’re set on self-insurance, it’s smart to take out an inexpensive third party policy…just in case!
Have You’ve Saved Enough?
That’s the thing about medical emergencies—you can’t plan for them. And you may have just started your self-insurance savings when your pet becomes ill or injured. Puppies can get themselves into a world of trouble—eating things they’re not supposed to, hurting themselves while playing rough, etc. Even in the first year or two of having a dog, you may not have enough saved at this point to cover the costs.
How do you get around this? Start out your self-insurance account by putting in larger payments each week or month, and then reduce them once you’ve saved a decent chunk of cash. Or you can start it off with a big lump sum (of at least $1,000), if you can afford it.
To Self-Insure, or Not to Self-Insure
Every type of pet insurance has its down sides. If you’re a consistent saver who is able to put away enough money, self-insurance may work out best for you. You should also look into investing in third party insurance, so you don’t get bogged down in a hefty amount of debt. Prepare for any emergency, don’t rely on credit cards and keep that fund stocked up for a rainy day. You never know when you might need it. | https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/blog/are-you-a-good-candidate-for-pet-self-insurance/ | 2018-10-15T17:59:27 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
To reduce the number of people locked up in local jails around the U.S., the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announced it plans to give $75 million to local jail officials working on ways to remove nonviolent offenders, people too poor to afford bail and the mentally ill from behind bars.
"For too long America has incarcerated too many people unnecessarily, spending too much money without improving public safety," Julia Stasch, president of the Chicago-based foundation, said in a statement Wednesday.
Nearly 12 million people annually pass through the more than 3,000 county lockups and city jails across the country, with close to 731,000 people locked up on any given day, according to a new report on jails also released Wednesday by the nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice.
Most are locked up on nonviolent traffic, drug or property charges at an annual cost of about $22.2 billion, the Vera report found, citing federal statistics. Many, especially those suffering from mental illness and drug addiction, are repeatedly admitted to jails for minor offenses and are dubbed "frequent fliers" because there's nowhere else for them to go.
The MacArthur Foundation plans to award $150,000 to up to 20 local jurisdictions — states, cities, tribes and judicial districts — that operate a jail with 50 beds or more and are proposing ways to change how their jails are run. Next year as many as 10 of them will receive $2 million per year to support those plans, officials said.
In New York City, about 40 percent of the roughly 11,000 daily inmates in the nation's second-largest jail system have a mental health diagnosis. In December, Mayor Bill de Blasio pledged to spend $130 million over four years to divert many of them to treatment instead of the city's notorious Rikers Island jail complex.
Some other proposed changes include reforming the bail system advocates say unduly punishes poor suspects, working with judges to institute no-jail sentences and improving the supervision of inmates released back into the community. | https://www.theindianalawyer.com/articles/36352-macarthur-foundation-pledges-75m-toward-fixing-us-jails | 2018-10-15T18:11:10 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Turkey rejects torture allegations by rights group
ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey has denied allegations by a human rights group that police have tortured or abused detainees following the failed coup attempt.
An Interior Ministry statement on Tuesday criticized a Human Rights Watch report detailing 13 alleged abuse cases since the July 15 coup attempt as "one-sided and baseless."
The ministry said only two of the abuse claims included concrete information and argued they were misrepresented. The ministry rejected allegations that one detainee was hospitalized after being beaten, insisting that he lost his balance and fell down stairs because he had been fasting.
The statement also noted that many suspects were detained after clashes with security forces and may have sustained wounds during the struggle.
At least 270 people were killed and more than 2,000 people injured during the coup attempt. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Turkey-rejects-torture-allegations-by-rights-group-10660053.php | 2018-10-15T16:39:45 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Alberta to provide duty counsel services at bail hearings
Tuesday, April 24, 2018 @ 2:26 PM | By Ian Burns
The Alberta government is introducing duty counsel at first appearance bail hearings in an attempt to reduce court backlogs, with a prominent defence lawyer saying many in the criminal justice system... | https://www.thelawyersdaily.ca/articles/6375/alberta-to-provide-duty-counsel-services-at-bail-hearings | 2018-10-15T17:41:34 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Shares climbed by 2.34 percent to 406.20 francs in morning trade in Zurich.
They had bolted 19.3 percent on Friday after the Basel-based firm turned down the offer.
Syngenta said Monsanto had made an offer of 449 Swiss francs ($486) per share with approximately 45 percent in cash, but claimed it was undervalued.
The US firm had timed the offer with a slackening in Syngenta's performance but the Swiss firm said the proposal still did not "reflect the outstanding growth prospects" of the company.
"The offer fundamentally undervalues Syngenta's prospects and underestimates the significant execution risks, including regulatory and public scrutiny at multiple levels in many countries," it said.
Syngenta chairman Michel Demare said although the company's "valuation is currently affected by short term currency and commodity price movements, the business outlook is strong, with emerging markets accounting for over 50 percent of our sales."
Some analysts said on Monday that Monsanto could make an improved offer.
Markus Mayer, an analyst at Baader Helvea said it was " just the beginning in the takeover game" and that the US company could make an offer of 500 Swiss francs per share.
Patrick Rafaisz, an analyst at Vontobel, also said that several scenarios could be considered, including Monsanto pushing with an unfriendly bid or
offering a higher price. He also forecast a price of around 500 francs saying "this story is not yet over."
The companies held preliminary talks last year with advisers about a combination, before Syngenta's management decided against negotiations,
sources told Bloomberg at that time.
Syngenta was formed in 2000 by the merger of Novartis Agribusiness and Zeneca Agrochemicals.

Nazare, the most intriguing place in Portugal, heavily battered by world record waves and home to a miracle maker wooden statue of Black Madona
When you hear Nazare makes you think about Nazareth. Well, you are not far from the truth. The history of Nazare revolves around a wooden statue brought from Nazareth. There is an interesting legend connected with the statue that starts on a September morning in 1182. The local nobleman Dom Fuas Roupinho believed to be a Templar knight, went hunting that day. While he was chasing a deer the fog rose, he lost his way and he found himself heading straight to the end of the cliff at full speed. He recognized the place because near was a grotto where the local people were praying to a Virgin Mary statue. Before falling from the cliff he starts invoking the Vergin Mary. Suddenly, the horse miraculously stopped and he was saved from falling to his death. The interesting part of the legend comes now tough. Because he was saved, he decided to build a chapel, Capela da Memoria, on top of the grotto. In the grotto, the workers found a parchment that was telling the story of the statue. According to the parchment in the 4 the century because people were afraid that the Iconoclasts could try to destroy the statue it was taken by a monk and brought to Spain to the monastery of Cauliniana near Merida. In the 8th century, the Arab invasion was coming close to the Monastery. The king at that time Roderigo was losing battles and he found shelter at the monastery anonymously. Because the Arabs were near the king and one of the monks decided to go to Portugal. In Portugal they decided to become hermits, The monk found the grotto on top of a cliff close to the ocean and he lived there until the day he died. The king left after a year but when the monk died he buried him in the grotto and put the statue on the altar close the grave. The story of this statue it is a real saga. Also, the Black Madonna was always associated with the Templars and from what I saw, Portugal seems to have a special connection with the Templars and Virgin Mary.
If I have to characterize Nazare in few words, would be a miraculous statue, spectacular waves and a breath-taking underwater canyon one of the triggers for the biggest waves registered at Nazare. Probably I should explain myself better. I know…Canyon and underwater in the same sentence sound a bit confusing.
Nazare Canyon, because this is what I am talking about, starts half a km from the coastline. It comes almost perpendicular to the coastline close to Nazare lighthouse. It is 230 km long and the maximum depth it is at least 5000 m. Now… Close your eyes and imagine the bottom of the ocean without water. Brace yourself, because you are going to see some breath-taking view. Just to compare, imagine Grand Canyon. Now, imagine Grand Canyon having twice its depth…What do you say…?
This underwater giant it might come to a surprise to you. I did not know either that something like this exists so close to the coast of Portugal. This proves how little we know about our own planet and especially how little we know about our oceans. This frightening kingdom of waters seemed to be so untamed and when you are in Nazare you are actually seeing its wrath in action. I never saw waves that big and were not even the biggest, because world record waves were registered in Nazare. The presence of the canyon so close to the continental shelf and big storms sometimes even as far as off the coasts of Irland are creating the perfect conditions for this waves to form.
The best place to watch the waves is from Nazare Lighthouse. People are gathering there with their cameras watching the show and I can tell you is so mesmerizing. It is like looking into a snake eyes, the more you look the more you want to keep looking. Here, the more you watch the waves the more you want to see the next one and then the next one. But, the waves keep coming and you continue to watch them like being under their spell.They break with a thunder sound and although frightening does not stop you from continue watching. There is so much energy unleashed and it is contagious. No wonder Nazare is a magnet for surfers from all over the world.
In November 2011 a Hawaiian surfer broke the world record surfing a 30 m wave. Even without surfing people are coming all year long just to see the waves. The beaches and the coastline close to Nazare are spectacular and while you are there is good to explore the surroundings. If you are planning to visit during Summer you have to know that the water temperature is colder than you might expect, also that the ocean is feisty so when you see it angry is better to stay away from the water. If you are a surfer, that is your heaven.
Maybe the water is colder here but there aren`t too many places where you can see the nature unleashed same as you can see it here Personally, I am in love with Portugal`s coastline. It is the only place where I can see the clash of the two elements, earth and water.
Nazare is closer to Lisbon, 127 km than to Porto There are plenty of places to rent and I suggest to rent a car, gives you more freedom. If you do rent a car avoid highways because the tolls are too high.
When there, dive into the ocean and watch the sunsets because are all so beautiful,,,

Dental Assistant (SmileGuide) - Rochester Hills, MI - Full and Part Time Opportunities
We are continuously seeking passionate dental assistants to join our growing SmileShop Rochester Hills, MI

Who We Are: | https://www.themuse.com/jobs/smiledirectclub/dental-assistant-smileguide-rochester-hills-mi-full-and-part-time-opportunities | 2018-10-15T17:28:21 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
I like to consider myself a strong woman. But too often, I find myself saying something like "Oh, I can't do that" or apologizing for expressing my feelings and advocating for what I want. These cultural norms are enforced over and over until they sneak into our minds and jump out when you least expect it. We start assigning these roles to children before they are even born, so it takes a conscious effort to challenge and change them. But where to begin?
I spoke with Rikki, a mom who works to empower women everyday. Having two young sons herself, she works hard on challenging stereotypes, assumptions, and established ideas around gender roles in her home as well as at work.
Here's what she has to say about building strength, resolve, and self-confidence for your daughter and encouraging compassion, sensitivity, and humility for your son.
Tell us a bit about your work to empower women. What inspired you to do this?
I have been very fortunate to have wonderful mentors in my life who have encouraged me, and helped me to understand that advocating for myself, especially as a woman in a field that is typically male dominated, is very important. I have tried to do that same thing for other young women, in negotiating salaries, navigating challenging transitions, and exploring new careers.
Women are much better at advocating or negotiating for others than they are for themselves, so I encourage them to think about these decisions as if they were doing it for another person and that helps them to understand their own value and self worth.
Rikki's family at the DC Women's March.
What are some common hurdles you see in women's attitudes, mannerisms, and behaviors?
I try to be careful not to stereotype, or assume that all women have the same challenges or hurdles to overcome. That said, there are patterns that I see, such as women doubting their own capabilities and underestimating their value to an organization, or team. Women tend to look at a list of job requirements and say, of these 10, I can do 6 well, so I probably shouldn't try for this job, whereas men look at that and say 6, out of 10 - I have got this!
I also think that women are afraid to come across too strong, so they will hold back on what they ask for, or frame it in a way that makes it seem like a question, not something that is required, or recommended.
What do you think we should be telling our young girls (and boys) to help break these patterns?
I am thrilled to see the work that organizations such as A Mighty Girl are doing to bring exploration and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) to girls.
Girls are just as smart, passionate, headstrong, and innovative as boys are, but if they are told over and over that they are pretty princesses, and not scientists, and artists, and athletes, they don't see themselves that way.
There has been a lot of work done to change this conversation, but more can be done to help give young girls a voice and the confidence to use it, and to teach boys that girls are just as strong, smart, and capable as they are.
Rikki's two sons, age 2 and 6 near their home in Washington DC
How are you challenging these cultural beliefs with your two sons?
As one of two sisters, we were taught from a very young age, that anything a boy could do, we could do better. This helped me to believe in myself and try new things (and sometimes fail) but failing further developed my confidence.
We are trying to teach our boys that through hard work and practice they too can achieve their goals, but that they are not any better or more deserving than anyone else. I want them to know that girls can be strong, and smart, and hardworking and successful too.
My boys and I have many discussions about what girls and boys are like, what they can do, and who they can be, and we try to challenge them to think beyond gender stereotypes.

be dumping.
Not only that.
Kolisnyk followed the paper trail back to the original address of the house on Interprovincial Highway in Abbotsford, where the garbage came from. He even managed to track down the owner and former owner of the property.
Kolisnyk said he felt compelled to confront the individual who had most recently purchased the property the garbage came from, to ask him about it.
“I wanted to offer him a chance to get it cleaned up before I called the B.C. Conservation Officer Service. After all it’s you and me who are going to pay for this cleanup as taxpayers,” he said.
An emergency cleanup of garbage near a waterway could cost more than $2000.
But the person who Kolisnyk tracked down denied outright he was the garbage-dumper, and was angry about being contacted.
Kolisnyk said he is following it up, nonetheless, after making reports to both RCMP and the BC Conservation Officer Service about the illegal dump site.
There is history of dumping in the CRV that has spurred elected officials and volunteers alike into taking action.

When you are talking about the new generation of rappers who are currently at the top of their game, there are quite a few to choose from. Names like A$AP Rocky, J.Cole, Chance The Rapper, Kendrick Lamar and Big Sean are emcees that definitely deserve to be put on that master list. However, even these megastars fade in comparison to the biggest star in rap at this very moment: the Toronto native Drake. His star power is shining really bright right now, and it seems that he’s the one who sets the trends that everyone else follows. In the following article, we list 10 of the reasons why everyone pays attention and copies. Check it out below:
10 Drake is the undisputed top-selling rapper right now
There is no doubt about it, when Drake drops a new album, people drop money and support him with their hard-earned dollars. That’s what happened earlier this February when without warning, he dropped a new album titled If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. He didn’t do any marketing or heavy promotional tours and he still managed to sell almost 500,000 copies in just about 3 days. Now that’s some real star power and when he drops his official new LP Views From The 6, he will probably notch some really breathtaking sales numbers!
9 Kanye West calls Drake the hottest rapper
When we are talking about trending topics and lightning rods of culture in today’s zeitgeist, you definitely have to mention Kanye West. Even though most of his antics can be considered arrogant, petulant and pompous, there’s really no avoiding that he is one the best rappers and musicians around. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe of BBC, Kanye went out of his way to call Drake the hottest rapper right now. For a kid from Toronto, that’s huge praise indeed.
8 Even Drake’s enemies respect his talent
Even though he has so much love in the rap game with the fans and his peers, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any enemies. Over his career, he has had beefs with other rappers like Common, Pusha T, Tyga and even Chris Brown. However when one of his most outspoken enemies Tyga was recently on The Breakfast Show talking about his hate for the Canadian rapper, he still managed to say that Drake is very skilled at making great rap songs. To get praise like that from someone who hates your guts, it definitely proves that his studio skills are quite supreme.
7 Drake made being both a rapper & singer cool
When Drake released his first major mixtape, So Far Gone in 2009, people didn’t quite know what to make of him. The album featured the monster hit “Best I Ever Had” and the video for that single was directed by Kanye West. What surprised fans the most on that album was how he was singing just as much as he was rapping all over the album. Some thought it was corny that he was trying to be a rapper and R&B singer at the same time. But he stuck to his guns and that formula has led him to become one of the elite rappers in the industry.
6 Drake’s influence surpasses rap music
Due to his amazing success in music, Drake’s influence has truly surpassed the world of music. He is a major ambassador for the Toronto Raptors NBA team, he has done collaborations with the global Nike Jordan brand, he has appeared in Hollywood movies, and the list goes on and on. Drake truly happens to be one of those multi-talented stars with limitless potential; and that’s one of the biggest reasons why rappers copy what he does.
5 Drake is loaded with a net worth of $60 million
At this point, Drake is no longer a rapper who is minimally rich – he is full-blown loaded. He has a net worth of $60 million dollars and his stock continues to rise. He has his own label – OVO Records, and he has already signed talented artists like ILOVEMAKONNEN and PARTYNEXTDOOR. He also holds a yearly concert in Toronto called OVO Fest which draws huge stars like Kanye, Rick Ross, Outkast and more. Drake can currently greenlight his own projects and that’s what makes him a true Boss in the world of Hip-Hop.
4 Even Charlemagne from The Breakfast Club respects Drake’s music
One of the gatekeepers of the hip-hop world currently is Charlemagne Tha God. He isn’t even a rapper, he is more like the Howard Stern of the Hip-Hop world. Charlemagne is the guy who asks the tough question and he doesn’t ever mince his words about the artists he likes and hates in the vast world of rap. When it comes to Drake, Charlemagne has made his feelings known on several occasions. He has stated that he thinks Drake’s character and person are borderline corny, but he always gives him great praise about the music he creates. Coming from a brash, no-nonsense character like Charlemagne, that’s very high praise indeed.
3 Even Drake’s freestyle songs are always trending topics
Even when Drake releases a loosie freestyle that isn’t connected to any album or major release, the internet and blogosphere still goes crazy. That’s what happened when he released the song “Draft Day” in 2014 and namedropped the rookie NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel. It became an instant trending topic. The same thing also happened when he put out the track “0-100.” Rappers all over the world jumped on the instrumental and added their own verses to the beat. This song was also the cause of the scuffle that Drake had with Diddy in Miami during Art Basel last year.
2 Even Madonna has love for Drake
Even at the age of 56, Madonna is not slowing down at all. It’s no surprise really that she is one of the most popular singers of all time. She has recently been working with Kanye West on her newest album, and she also recently professed her respect for Drake. On Drake’s latest album, he had a song called “Madonna” and this is what the global pop star said about it. “I’ve heard the whole mixtape and “Madonna” is the best,” she said. “Ask other people. I’m not the only who thinks that,” she added. She also revealed that she would be working with Drake in the near future.
1 Drake is most likely the successor to Lil Wayne
Between the years of 2004 and 2007, Lil Wayne was really establishing himself as one of top artists to be reckoned with in the Hip-Hop genre. This was the period during which he dropped the albums The Carter and The Carter II. Little did he know that he would end up becoming the mentor of the next heir to the throne of rap, Drake. It’s quite amazing that Wayne’s label YMCMB has so much talent: Nicki Minaj, Tyga etc. But when you talk about who is most likely to be Wayne’s true successor, Drake is looking more and more like the likely candidate. | https://www.therichest.com/expensive-lifestyle/10-reasons-why-people-do-as-drake-says/ | 2018-10-15T16:43:48 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Ask any child about their favorite TV show or performer and their eyes will light up. Children's entertainment is all about innocence, joy and laughter. Child entertainers are held up as examples of the most trustworthy, genuine people in the business.
They were some of the biggest names in entertainment in the 21st Century. Loved, trusted, adored by millions. Nobody would have or could have imagined the horrendous acts some of these stars would be accused of, and even convicted of. Those convicted had fans and admirers around the world shocked and in denial. Former fans related to the victims; these were stars who often prayed on their youngest and most naïve young admirers. Some of these child entertainers were accused of horrific crimes but were never convicted; some weren't even charged, but in every case their reputations have been left in tatters.
What happens when the light that guides the career of a child entertainer darkens? The following are five very different, and variously disturbing, such cases. These are five children's entertainers who were accused of heinous sex crimes.
*Trigger warning: Reports of child abuse*
5 Rolf Harris
The Rolf Harris case came as one of the biggest shocks of the decade, when child abuse claims started circulating about the star in 2013.
The Australian entertainer was known for his contribution to the international entertainment platform through music, comedy and a strong television presence across the UK, Australia and the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. With songs like ‘Jake the Peg’ and ‘Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport’- which became one of Australia’s most iconic children’s song and reached Top 10 charts across the UK, Australia and the United States - Rolf Harris (now 84) was looked up to around the world as an important contributor to the arts by both adults and children alike.
The royal family was also part of the community that trusted and approved of Rolf, so much so that Rolf was awarded many prestigious awards by the Queen herself, as well as awards from his birth country, Australia. Considering he also painted a portrait of the queen and sang at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace in 2012, this fall from grace was one of the most shocking of the decade.
Just last year, Rolf Harris was convicted on 12 counts of indecent assault on four girls aged from seven or eight to 19, between 1968 and 1986. He was jailed last July for 5 years and 9 months, but is only expected to serve 3 years. He was stripped of many his prestigious awards including the MBE, OBE, CBE and Officer of the Order of Australia.
4 Bill Cosby
Although not charged with any crimes so far, Bill Cosby played one of America’s most lovable dads on the set of the hugely successful The Cosby Show during the 1960s. He has been accused of sexually assaulting almost 30 women throughout his career – some of them as young as 15. The steady string of accusations started over a decade ago, and included notable ex-model and TV personality, Janice Dickinson, coming out as a victim.
The accusations against the star, who played a major role in the development of a more positive portrayal of African-Americans on TV, all sound similar. Most claims accuse the star of drugging the victim, with the victim later finding out they had been sexually assaulted after regaining consciousness.
Although Cosby has denied all accusations, some settlements have been made out of court for undisclosed amounts of money.
Cosby, now 77, commented on the accusations in late 2014, telling Florida Today that "People should fact check. People shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos."
Despite an absence of charges, the accusations have eroded many of Bill Cosby’s professional endeavors – including a comeback tour scheduled for this year. Many stations have pulled reruns of the famed TV show.
3 Pee-wee Herman
The story of Pee-wee Herman's fall from grace is an unusual one. It's important to note that despite an almost irreparably besmirched reputation, he was never convicted of endangering children.
Paul Reubens was a noted comic with the legendary Groundlings comedy troupe in the 1970s. During the early years of his comic career he originated Pee-wee Herman, a children's comic character. He headed a number of projects with the Pee-wee caricature in the 1980s, including a Tim Burton movie and three TV shows. These included a CBS Saturday morning kids' show, Pee-wee's playhouse.
The quirky, eccentric, androgynous character of Pee-wee Herman took on a sinister air when Paul Reubens was arrested in 1991 for public masturbation. His career bounced back from this arrest, and he received critical acclaim for an appearance in the edgy 2001 drama Blow, alongside Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp.
In 2002, however, Pee-wee Herman's integrity was called into question again when Reubens was charged with possession of explicit material depicting subjects under 18 years of age. Misdemeanor charges were brought against Reubens, but he defended himself against any charges of inappropriate feelings towards children. It emerged that Reubens was a collector of vintage, sexually explicit art and the material found was of that ilk. The charges were dropped in 2004, and Reubens made this statement to NBC:
"One thing I want to make very, very clear, I don't want anyone for one second to think that I am titillated by images of children"
2 Jimmy Savile
Former BBC presenter Jimmy Savile was one of the biggest TV stars in the UK for decades. It was only a year after his death that he was revealed as one of Britain’s most dangerous child abusers.
Police in the UK launched a formal criminal investigation, known as Operation Yewtree, which investigated historic allegations of child sexual abuse in the entertainment industry by Savile and other high profile BBC professionals. It was only then that the enormity of the abuse became clear, with 450 alleging abuse solely by Savile. Some of the victims were as young as 8 at the time.
Savile, who died in 2011 aged 84, was a BBC Radio 1 DJ and the presenter of the Jim'll Fix It show on BBC One. He used his prominent position in British society to prey on the young and unsuspecting.
The peak of the sexual assaults occurred in the 1970s, during his most successful years as a TV star. His popularity in Britain saw him knighted by the Queen. All the while, Savile preyed on children and was also found guilty of abusing roughly 60 patients at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England, where he was an active fundraiser. The victims included an eight-year-old boy who had tonsil surgery, an 11-year-old girl being treated for cancer, a pregnant mother and a 19-year-old paralyzed woman. Since his death, the multitude of victims that came forward have exposed the once high and mighty presenter for what he really was – a dangerous, remorseless sexual predator.
1 Gary Glitter
Earlier this year, British glam rocker Gary Glitter was found guilty at a London court of sex abuse against children. Glitter, now 70, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was convicted of one count of attempted sexual assault, four counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13. He was sentenced to 16 years jail. Like Jimmy Savile, Gadd was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree.
Gadd, much like Savile, was at the height of his fame as a musician during the mid 1970s, when he attacked his victims. He took advantage of his fame and popularity in society by targeting young girls who were in awe of him. This was not the first time Gadd was convicted in relation to child sex offences. In 1999, he was convicted of possessing sexually explicit images of children – up to 4,000 such images to be exact, some of which involved children as young as two.
The disgraced rocker was also deported from Cambodia in 2002 over unspecified claims and convicted, yet again, in Vietnam in 2006 of sexually abusing two girls, for which he was sentenced to 3 years in jail.

Safe place: Afiq was admitted to the hospital after staying for two weeks at the guesthouse, which also doubles as a protection house for foreign workers in South Korea. PETALING JAYA: Another case of a Malaysian working illegally overseas has been exposed. This time, it is a 22-year-old diploma holder in marine studies who chose to work in South Korea to earn more. Tragedy, however, befell Afiq when he had an accident that left him with a serious knee injury. What’s worse for the graduate of a private institution here was that he did not receive immediate medical attention. “At first, my employers told me the hospital was not open due to a public holiday, so I had to bear with the pain for a week. “Only after that did they bring me to hospital,” he told mStar Online yesterday. He claimed that his employers then reneged on their promise to pay his medical treatment costs, which reached KRW9mil (RM33,737). He said they had earlier pledged to bear the costs of his treatment which included an operation, but changed their minds after realising that the amount would be high. “They only paid for the medical checks and MRI, then told me to go back to Malaysia and return to work after I recover. “I didn’t know my rights as a worker. I was only trying to survive the pain before returning to Malaysia. “Life in South Korea is not as wonderful as depicted in the Winter Sonata series,” said Afiq, who worked in South Korea under a tourist visa. However, Afiq’s luck changed for the better when he bumped into a Malaysian human rights activist known as Z Hilmi at the Kampungku Restaurant in Myeong-dong, Seoul, a few hours before he was scheduled to fly back to Malaysia. The activist advised Afiq to start a claim against his employers so that they will be held responsible for the accident. Over the two weeks that Afiq stayed at a guesthouse run by the activist, he was admitted to the hospital to undergo an operation with the costs borne by his employers. “If not for the chance meeting with the activist, I wouldn’t have known that my case could be contested in the Labour Court,” he added.

LAVAL, QUE.—Police say they’ve made an arrest in a sucker-punch attack outside a Montreal-area daycare last month that was captured on surveillance video.
In the video, a man is seen running up to the 46-year-old victim and punching him from behind in the face before fleeing on foot.

The victim immediately drops to the pavement as a woman exits the daycare to yell at the suspect.
A motive for the attack remains unclear and Laval police say the victim is still in hospital after the July 9 attack.
Montreal police arrested a 26-year-old man Thursday in a vehicle they say had been reported stolen.
Police say the suspect is expected to appear in court later today. | https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/08/10/arrest-in-assault-captured-on-surveillance-video-outside-quebec-daycare.html | 2018-10-15T17:20:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

EMELI SANDE has built her career on heart-wrenching hits about break-ups.
But the superstar singer’s tone could be about to change.
Speaking in the latest episode of my Bizarre Life podcast, which you can download from Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Spotify or your favourite podcast provider, the Scot reveals she wants to marry again and have children.
Following her 2013 divorce from Adam Gouraguine — who inspired her huge second album Long Live The Angels — she is “happy” after finding love with a mystery man and has a different outlook on life too.
On the prospect of tying the knot for a second time, Emeli believes she might now know the secret to a successful marriage.
She told me: “I feel at the point in my life where I just know myself so well. I can be honest with someone if I don’t like certain things, or they don’t like things about me.
“There’s maturity that I think you need for marriage and I feel like I’ve reached that level, I hope, now.”
And kids are very much on the agenda says Emeli, adding: “I think it would be really fun. I mean, I imagine the children so perfect, like they just love watching me write songs and sitting silently. That’s the dream.
“When I think about it there, yeah, I’d love it, I’d love children.”
Her new-found happiness can be noticed in her music.
Starlight, the first single from new EP Kingdom Coming, which is out on November 3, is much more upbeat compared to her previous material, and has a garage/R&B vibe.
Emeli’s huge debut album, Our Version Of Events, was the soundtrack of 2012, when it became a running joke that she performed at every big event.
The singer admits her fear of the public growing bored of her sparked her decision not to rush-release records shortly after, despite huge demand for her music.
She said: “I really try to put my whole soul and emotion out there, so I’d never want to feel like it wasn’t something people wanted to hear.
“It was like people were getting tired of it.
“I wanted to go away and develop as an artist as well because, often when you’re doing your first album and you’re performing so much, there’s not much time to be in the studio and just learn more and grow as a person to make better music.
“That was a part of the decision, but I definitely never want people to get tired of hearing my voice.”
Running the risk of over-exposure also played a part in her turning down a judging role on telly talent show The Voice.
She said: “I remember people asking me about it. But I’d think it would just be a no.
“I wouldn’t want to say the wrong thing that could really break someone’s heart and this dream they’ve had.”
Ruthless talent show judge really isn’t lovely Emeli’s bag.
How Bizarre...
I asked Emeli Sande to tell me her most unusual...
Advice: NAUGHTY BOY is very good at giving pep talks and he just said to me, ‘Why are you acting like we’re going to live for ever – you need to really be present in the moment’.
Dream about another celebrity: I always have dreams that me and BEYONCÉ are friends. It wasn’t very bizarre but I really liked it. I’ve never met her. I hope to.
Party: I went to the Roc Nation branch in LA. JAY-Z and P DIDDY was there, RIHANNA was over there. It was all in this garden and we were just being little like bad girls in the corner. It was really cool. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4571192/emeli-sande-marriage-children-mystery-romance-bizarre/ | 2018-10-15T17:15:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Restrictions under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) around the amount of trading activity that can occur in dark pools will force institutional investors to trade in lit markets where their intentions could be spotted or gamed, it has been warned.
MiFID II, which is due to be implemented on January 3, 2017, will impose thresholds on individual stocks that can be traded at any given dark pool at 4%, and across dark pools at 8%. Dark pools help provide liquidity in capital markets by posting trades publicly once transactions are completed allowing institutional investors to trade without adversely moving the market.
“The new regime is trying to limit activity for smaller orders to trade in the dark, by imposing 4% and 8% volume caps for any dark pool trade that uses the reference price waiver. By doing so, market participants will lose the ability for price improvement on smaller orders, as most dark pool trades are based on a mid-point match. When this facility is removed, then investors have to pay the spread and lose spread capture – which ultimately affects execution quality,” said Michael Horan, head of trading services at BNY Mellon Pershing.
The shift to lit exchanges could restrict liquidity and hurt institutional investors. “The shift from dark exchanges may restrict liquidity by forcing block trades into full view of the wider market. Investors who may have previously driven large volumes through dark pools may be discouraged from trading for fear their moves will be identified by the likes of high frequency traders acting upon their intentions and causing the market to move against them. It may be harder for dark pools to provide ready sources of liquidity to unwind or add large positions as a result,” said Horan.
Firms have been preparing for the changes MiFID II will bring. The London Stock Exchange (LSE), introduced enhancements in October 2015 to its hidden Mid-Price Pegged Order functionality, designed to facilitate large-in-scale dark trading directly on the SETS order book. The enhancements allow market participants to enter an order above the Large-in-Scale threshold specified by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) at the mid-point without displaying either price or volume to other participants.
Concerns have been mounting about dark pools, particularly about their lack of transparency and fears that they are being gamed by high-frequency traders (HFTs). “The majority of dark pools do not endorse or support nefarious activity. With the wealth of transaction cost analysis tools at our disposal, it is becoming easier to identify if client orders have been adversely selected in a dark pool. We monitor these on a daily basis and trust the vast majority of fills we get from dark pool trading,” said Horan. | https://www.thetradenews.com/mifid-ii-will-force-trades-back-onto-lit-market/ | 2018-10-15T17:56:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Amidst the global uproar over the killing of “Cecil” the lion by Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has announced the suspension of hunting for lions, leopards and elephants in close proximity to Hwange National Parks in a release on their website Saturday. Effective immediately, the announcement says: “Hunting of lions, leopards and elephant in areas outside of Hwange National Parks has been suspended with immediate effect. All such hunts will only be conducted if confirmed and authorized in writing by the Director-General of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, and only if accompanied by parks staff whose costs will be met by the landowner.” . . .
In addition, bowhunting has also been suspended except with the same written permission. The Parks and Wildlife Management authority used the opportunity to remind hunters that the transfer of hunting quotas from one area to another will be considered poaching.
Online rumors have run rampant that Palmer and his guides claimed they had a quota to take the lion in an area Zimbabwe officials claim they did not. “The Authority will not hesitate to arrest, prosecute, and ban for life any persons including professional hunters, clients and land owners who are caught on the wrong side of the law,” the release states.
The release says that the suspension is a part of a “crackdown to weed out any undesirable elements.” The Parks and Wildlife Authority also announced the arrest of Headman Sibanda who is alleged to have violated unspecified hunting regulations.
The news of the suspension came as a new bit of outrage about lion hunting was just starting. On Saturday, conflicting reports claimed that another lion named Jericho, who was often seen with Cecil, was also killed by a poacher on Saturday.
Oxford University posted a photo taken early this morning that confirmed the animal was still alive and well.
“and only if accompanied by parks staff whose costs will be met by the landowner”
Translation:,Only allowed with appropriate bribes to government officials.
No change in policy just adjusting the bribe structure.
Nailed it.
Yep. This entire case is mostly useful for highlighting the danger of doing business with corrupt, poorly governed nations with little respect for the rule of law (which is, unfortunately, virtually all African nations).
“…corrupt, poorly governed nations with little respect for the rule of law.”
I know of no nations that do not fit that description. Matter of degree right now.
“Translation:,Only allowed with appropriate bribes to government officials.
No change in policy just adjusting the bribe structure.”
Wow, that fits so well. Not just for this story, but for a lot of stuff going on here at home as well.
like the new Clean Power Plan.
+1 yep!
Dan, thanks for the scoop. I keep seeing/hearing conflicting reports.
Now they just need some “No Poaching” signs and all the animals will be completely safe.
But seriously, Zimbabwe does seem to have a real poaching problem and I hope they will pull themselves up out of the corruption and Marxism long enough to do something about it.
they have MUCH bigger problems that the “media” choses to ignore.
I’m sure hoping will work. I understand protecting the polka dotted unicorn will be the highest priority.
just my two cents, but i dont care about this lion thing. its a distraction, not news.
also, “crackdown to weed out any undesirable elements.” foreboding motivation, indeed.
This seems really odd to me, why does Zimbabwe care about American media outrage?
Opportunity for graft.
Ahh…
People care about things. Arbitrarily drawn borders (Zimbabwe) don’t.
Whomever is talking, is angling to bilk some funds out of gullible Americans or Anti-Americans or whatnot. And can be relied on to care just as little about “Zimbabwe”, as he does about lions or the goings on in the US.
As expected, a heavy handed knee jerk reaction to public outrage that completely ingnores the legitimate conservation goals of responsible hunters and opens yet another avenue of corruption that will likely only attract more of the Walter Palmers of the world.
Things were so much simplier when we owned the damn place.
When saying “we,” you must mean the Brits and their South African buddies. Aside from a handful of Vietnam vets who joined the RLI proper and the usual gaggle of mercenaries, the U.S. never staked a claim in any part of Rhodesia. Sorry, historical accuracy gripe, can’t resist.
Why are you assuming Tommy Knocker isn’t a Brit?
When I started posting here around 2011, the European/Commonwealth commentators were few and far between. I seem to have forgotten how much the audience has grown since then. Apologies for any feathers ruffled.
Another view point.
Larry
Since ranch owners now can’t make money on those animals, watch how fast they are culled.
They’ll make money on them. They just have to share a bit more generously. Noone down there in any position of power, is served by lions going extinct. So they won’t, even if means (resurrecting?) the old policy of paying more per poacher, than the Chinese and Americans pay per Lion. Being well aware of who their paymasters are, they won’t even extend it to paying more per dentist….
Good Jorb Zimbabwe.
Good luck to your corrupt president-for-life in dealing with the utter destruction of your wildlife resources through un-controlled poaching.
Yup.
Not sure if it’s true or not, but it was reported that baby elephant was served at Mugabe’s last birthday.
I guess it’s more tender for the teeth impaired?
We are talking about a country that has 80% unemployment. It seems like they would be rolling out the red carpet for hunters who are willing to hire a guide and his crew. Well, as mentioned earlier, if you can afford the extra bribes you can afford to hire a guide and plenty of porters. Times have really changed. After serving as president the Smithsonian institute paid for Theodore Roosevelt to spend a year in Africa in 1909. The expedition collected around 11,400 animal specimens which took Smithsonian naturalists eight years to catalog. Now people go into a fit over a single lion.
Now some morons
peoplego into a fit over a single lion.
I wonder if Boone and Crockett could create a Palmer Award. For the best cat taken each year.
“…I wonder if Boone and Crockett could create a Palmer Award. For the best cat taken each year…”
Check Pope and Young- this man hunts with a bow/arrow.
In my humble opinion hunting is probably the only thing keeping these animals alive. Zimbabwe doesn’t need lions. If anything they are competition for the locals. Hunters paying big bucks to kill them gives a lot of incentive to keep them around. If the hunters cant pay and hunt there will be no incentive to save and the poachers will clean house and sell to the Asian market.
Zimbabwe: going full retard circa August, 2015. That country taking the “moral high ground” over the killing of a charismatic cat has got to be one of the most significant circle-jerks in human history.
They’ve been going full retard since when Mugabe drove the white landowners out, parceled out the seized lands to his political cronies, who knew jack-all about farming, and then their food production cratered.
As a result, Zimbabwe (or the country that used to be called Rhodesia) went from a next exporter of foodstuffs to an importer.
Once again we see that modern civilization is an invention of white males. Take away the white males, and you get something other than modern civilization. Zimbabwe currently exists at the confluence of tribal kleptocracy and marxist economic theory Zimbabwe is what Venezuela now intends to become.
I would be very surprised if his Wheelie bow fit the terms for pope and young. Most of them do not.
G.K. Chesterton wrote about 100 years ago “Wherever there is animal worship, there is human sacrifice.”
Pithy observation, that. Sad that it is also about to be prescient.
Next these 3rd worlders will be banning our slavery-by-proxy offshored manufacturing. Guess we’ll just have to stay home and kill stuff. Hey, like buy American, we can…kill American. I’m getting a shirt printed up right now.
They made a call to try and satisfy the howler monkeys. Not banned, just a little more red tape and cost. | https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/08/daniel-zimmerman/zimbabwe-restricts-big-game-hunts-after-cecil-uproar/ | 2018-10-15T17:02:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
This is just another brief update on my writing, as much for me as anyone. I'll update my on-line spreadsheets when I get the time.
The Fisherman and His Wife: (Short story - humor/fairy tale) Still supposed to be out some time later this year in Grimm & Grimmer IV. I'm waiting for something back from Fringeworks about a more concrete schedule.
Skarett's Treasure: (Short story - humor/horror/pirates) I got an e-mail from the new editor (Mellissa Black) a few days ago:
Good Morning!My first thought for a response was:
I would like to offer your short story Skarrett's Treasure a spot in the Dead Men's Tales anthology. If your story is still available and you would like it included, please let me know immediately.
Thanks.
Yes, it is still available. Although thousands of requests from major publishing houses have poured in for the tale offering huge wads of cash (as humorous pirate stories are all the rage right now), I wanted you to have it.Then, I thought, no, that sounds slightly embellished.
So anyway... after noting the nanosecond hand on the clock had nearly reached the next mark, I did reply that the story was, indeed, still available (who the heck else would want it?) and I'd be happy (somewhat of an understatement there) to have it included. This is to be through Knightwatch Press, an imprint taken over by Fringeworks. Hope to hear from you soon, Ms. Black!
Neersville: (Short story - horror/ghost) As reported previously, this was rejected. I may try to do some rewriting of this in the future, partly to eliminate some of the awkward areas required to get it within the size limit requested (it was way over before I cut it back). After that, I'll see if I can find a suitable market for it.
The Ballad of Drunken Jack: (Poetry - horror) This was accepted for inclusion in Gothic Blue Book III, and I am now waiting for additional instructions.
Miscellaneous items: The flash fiction steampunk/dieselpunk story, Tinker's Damn, was submitted to The Weretraveler's The Little Magazine of Magnificent Monsters issue. I'm waiting for a reply. I ran out of time for finishing the submission to James Ward Kirk Fiction for their anthology, The Cellar Door and for the short story, Final Judgment for the Horrified Press anthology, Tales of the Undead – Suffer Eternal Volume III. I'll finish them eventually and submit them where appropriate.
Now, after all of this, I must say that having my stories accepted is great, but I'd really like to see some of them in print, either paper or electronic. It seems that every step in getting something published takes a long time, or there is some delay. At this rate, most of my stories will be published posthumously (or else I'm going to have to live for a very long time...).

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is the most popular and the most iconic Hepburn performance, but she is also fantastic in Billy Wilder’s Sabrina. Her undeniable charm in Roman Holiday and Charade is also not to be ignored.
As for our host Richard Peña, he thinks that, “this really is a tough one, but I think I’d cast my vote for Stanley Donen’s beautiful Two for the Road.” | https://www.thirteen.org/reel13/discussion/what-is-your-favorite-audrey-hepburn-film/ | 2018-10-15T17:03:25 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Yoruba movie actress, Abimbola Ogunnowo has been a key player in the movie scene with several films to her credit. She has an evergreen career and a cosmetics business, among others. She talks to Tosin Clegg about her love with movie director, Okiki Afolayan, how it all started, lessons with love and a lot more
The journey started 11 years ago
It was on the set of my debut movie titled ‘Ifejafunmi’ at Classic Hotel, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. When I got to the hotel, I had long braids on me, and everyone was wondering what type of hairstyle I had on? They wanted to know if I had seen Okiki? I was kind of confused because I didn’t know who Okiki was and why everyone was calling his name. When Okiki eventually came out, he asked me to remove the braids or find a solution to it before I could come on set. He left and I was of the opinion that I didn’t know this guy, so why would he tell me to remove my hair. He later came to me to explain why. He said I couldn’t use one look for the whole movie, so I needed to work around it, which I eventually did. So, that was how I met him.
Eleven years ago, he wasn’t a director but a continuity manager
At that time, he was like the heart of a production, and he still is right now the heart of movie productions because if you have to change a story, add to it or remove from it, you have to go by him. I actually thought he hated me at first, just because of the way he dropped the heat on me. I later realised that he was doing his job, he didn’t hate me.
How I felt that moment he told me to remove my hair
I didn’t feel anything. Funny enough, he was the first person to check on me the second day, asking if I had eaten. Hope yesterday’s job wasn’t that stressful. Seeing someone for the first time and he started picking on you takes you aback, but we just had to move on. Naturally, I am a very pleasant person. When I meet people for the first time, I don’t form an opinion about them because I don’t know what you have in you. I don’t know what you’d gone through that day before meeting me. But that was my first appearance on the screen. He was giving me tutorial on how to act because he wasn’t pleased with the way I acted the first day. After that day, the rest is now history, as it’s said.
I only reckon with people based on their character
If you do something to me repeatedly, then it tells me your real character. Like the popular saying “first impression lasts longer”, I don’t believe in that ideology. People can be very terrible the first time you meet them but this doesn’t mean because you don’t know what he/she had gone through before you met them. I don’t judge by that, you need to do the same thing twice or thrice before I’ll make my judgement.
Relationships work out mostly because of our head not our heart
It works out because of our emotional maturity, empathetic intelligence and self-discipline. Time will come when you’ll see more beautiful, handsome, romantic, intelligent, sexy, rich, curvy and God-fearing people than the one you’re in a relationship with. At a time like this, love will not help you; self-control will help you, emotional intelligence will come to your rescue and commitment will keep you going. With those characteristics, no matter what you feel for someone else, the person you’re committed to will rank first in your life.
How the love affair set in
As I said, we became friends and he has been my best friend in the industry. After the movie thing, we were friends for three years before we started dating. He has a lot of things on him.
He is a director, story writer and a producer. At some point, we broke up and that was when I told him that I was going back to school. Then, he was living at Agbede in Ikorodu and shuttling between that place and Ibadan wasn’t easy for me, we had to fall apart. Then, he was working with AK Media as their continuity man and we didn’t have time for ourselves. I had to stay back at the University of Ibadan for my Diploma. After my school, we had already broken up.
Getting along with him
We dated for a year and a half. We broke up for about three years and some months. A friend of mine, Tunde Anjola later called me for a job around Magodo area of Lagos State, where Afeez Owo was directing, and Okiki saw me again. He said this babe, where have you been all these while, we got talking, he invited me for a chat and I was with him the following day and we decided to reunite, the rest is now history, we are now Mr. and Mrs. Afolayan.
After the reconciliation
The story is that, we are not just together because we are dating. What we have together is friendship. It is based on this he is my friend, someone I can confide in. We are friends and it was so easy for us to come back, nothing changed about the way we were. From the long talks, I began to say this guy has not really changed, likewise me. He is someone who always wants to make you happy. I thought I should give him another chance and here we are now.
He has so many qualities that make him different from others
He can do anything just to make people around him better. He is so supportive. I am a very industrious person and I am a true lover. As long as you are contented with a particular person, why not do the right thing on time and go with him or her? That was why I chose my husband above any other man. I am contented with his kind of person. He is one guy that, when I am with him, the whole world is fulfilled, I am fulfilled.
Dealing with his excesses
I have been coping with that for 11 years, so there is no big deal about that. I am used to it. I know him too well.
He is somebody who gets tired of things so easily. You can’t get his attention on the phone for five minutes, he is done with you. He is always on the move working, but the truth of the matter is that when you are with a right person, you will not get tired of him, no matter what. I am so sure that he is going to be a good husband and a good father.
I love Okiki’s mum
I love her heart, and she is just like my mother. I know what it means for you to have a child and take good care of him/her. His mum is so amazing. I so much love her because she is the one who calls me every day to pray for me. I don’t think I will ever have any problem with her. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/10/13/abimbola-ogunnowo-my-love-story-with-okiki-afolayan/ | 2018-10-15T18:10:15 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Science, Tech, Math Science Nail Polish Chemistry Chemical Composition Share Flipboard Email Print Nail polish contains a balance of chemicals to produce a beautiful and durable finish. JGI/Jamie Grill / Nail polish is a type of lacquer used to decorate fingernails and toenails. Because it has to be strong, flexible, and resist chipping and peeling, it contains a number of chemicals. Here is a look at the chemical composition of nail polish and the function of each of the ingredients.Chemical Composition of Nail PolishA.SolventsSolvents are liquids used to mix the other ingredients in a nail polish to yield a uniform product. Once you apply the polish, solvents evaporate away. The amount and type of solvent determines how thick a polish is and how long it takes to dry. Examples of solvents include ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and alcohol. Toluene, xylene, and formalin or formaldehyde are toxic chemicals that used to be common in nail polish but are found rarely now or in low concentrations. Usually, the first ingredient(s) in a nail polish are solvents.Film FormersFilm formers are chemicals that form the smooth surface on a coat of nail polish. The most common film former is nitrocellulose.ResinsResins make the film adhere to the nail bed. Resins are ingredients that add depth, gloss, and hardness to the film of a nail polish. An example of a polymer used as a resin in nail polish is tosylamide-formaldehyde resin.PlasticizersWhile resins and film formers give polish strength and gloss, they produce a brittle lacquer. Plasticizers are chemicals that help keep polish flexible and reduce the chance that it will crack or chip. They do this by linking to polymer chains and increasing the distance between them. Camphor is a common plasticizer.PigmentsPigments are chemicals that add color to nail polish. An astonishing variety of chemicals may be used as pigments in nail polish. Common pigments include iron oxides and other colorants, such as you would find in paint or varnish.PearlsNail polish that has a shimmery or glittery effect may contain pearlescent minerals, such as titanium dioxide or ground mica. Some polishes may contain bits of plastic glitter or other additives that produce a special effect. Additional IngredientsNail.

The incidence of thyroid cancer in the United States has tripled in the past 30 years and the incidence of thyroid cancer detection has increased by 4.5% each year during the past decade, faster than for any other cancer. However, there has not been a corresponding change in the mortality rate. Dr. Juan Brito, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology at Mayo Clinic, notes, “There are two factors driving the over-diagnosis of thyroid cancer. One is new and increased use of imaging techniques that expose the thyroid gland and find thyroid cancer as an incidental finding, and the other is neck palpation in asymptomatic patients.”
According to new recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), routine screening for thyroid cancer is not recommended. This recommendation applies only to screening asymptomatic adults and does not include individuals who may be at an increased risk for thyroid cancer due to a history of radiation exposure, inherited genetic syndromes associated with thyroid cancer, or a history of the disease. “People who are treated for small or slow-growing tumors are exposed to risks from surgery or radiation, but do not receive any benefit because the tumors are unlikely to affect the person’s health during their lifetime,” says Kristen Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS. Although the recommendation opposes screening of asymptomatic individuals, it is unclear what effect it may have on clinical practice. Dr. Neil Hockstein, Director of Head and Neck Multidisciplinary Center at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Research Institute explains that the new USPSTF recommendation will affect the rate of thyroid cancer diagnosis and over-diagnosis only if clinicians stop screening with palpation. Dr. Hockstein says, “The USPSTF recommendations make sense except that palpation of the neck is part of a routine exam.”
The Thyroid Cancer Care Collaborative (TCCC) aims to keep both physicians and patients up to date on the latest recommendations and guidelines relating to thyroid health. The TCCC’s vision is to advance the quality of thyroid care to its highest level, and reporting on current recommendations for thyroid surveillance and treatment helps achieve this. | https://www.thyroidccc.org/news/the-tcc-discusses-routine-thyroid-cancer-screening/ | 2018-10-15T16:44:36 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

ANC MPs don't appear keen on Mkhwebane probe
ANC MPs appeared to be closing ranks around Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane and against the Democratic Alliance's call for Parliament to initiate a process for her early removal from office.
But the opposition has warned that a failure to hold an inquiry into Mkhwebane's fitness to hold office would be a dereliction of duty by Parliament which would haunt the institution‚ as was the case with the Nkandla matter.
DA chief whip John Steenhuisen pleaded with the National Assembly's justice and correctional services committee‚ saying he believed that sufficient grounds exist to‚ at the very least‚ warrant an inquiry into Mkhwebane's fitness to hold office.
“It is my opinion that this committee‚ as the custodians of the oversight and accountability role entrusted by the Constitution in this case‚ should discharge that role by allowing for an inquiry to assess the fitness of the current Public protector to continue to hold office‚” said Steenhuisen.
“Failure to do so will be a breach of the responsibility entrusted to the National Assembly to exercise oversight and hold the Public Protector accountable. If the committee chooses not to do so and the Public Protector continues with her cavalier approach to the most basic fundamentals of the law‚ procedure‚ and this parliament's role then the responsibility for these must shift from her office and to this parliament‚” he added.
Steenhuisen lodged a complaint with National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete last year requesting that the National Assembly initiate procedures to remove Mkhwebane from office. Mbete referred the matter to the justice and correctional services committee to process the complaint‚ but after much dilly-dallying the ANC complement in the committee outvoted the opposition in rejecting the call to probe Mkhwebane's fitness.
But as courts continued to find against her‚ Steenhuisen reiterated his call for her removal and the committee heard his oral submission on Wednesday.
He argued that Mkhwebane was incompetent and cited a number of court rulings where judges had found among other things that Mkhwebane had grossly over-reached her powers‚ had shown poor understanding of the law and of her own powers and in another case was found to have sacrificed her independence and impartiality.
ANC members indicated that Mkhwebane was appealing against sections of certain court rulings and suggested that the committee may have to wait for the appeal processes to be finalised.
They also‚ one after the other‚ argued that in the very same courts‚ judges had given judgments which‚ when taken on review‚ get struck off.
“Would you say they are incompetent?” asked ANC MP Loyiso Mpumlwana‚ who also suggested that Steenhuisen may be reacting to “an inflammatory statement” issued by Mkhwebane in which she labelled the DA's criticism of her as unpatriotic.
He asked: “Is it really a big sin; does it really mean she is changing the constitution?”
This was in reference to Mkhwebane's recommendation to Parliament to amend the constitution. She was slapped hard by the courts for overreaching on this matter. ANC MPs also suggested the fact that the public protector's remedial action could be challenged in court was evidence that the constitution and its drafters foresaw possible differences in the interpretation of the same constitution.
Committee chairperson Mathole Motshekga had set the tone when he told Steenhuisen that there were South Africans - some of them leaders of political parties - who have accused the judiciary of judicial overreach.
“Would we hold an inquiry into the fitness or otherwise of the judges that are accused of judicial overreach?” he asked.
“The constitution is open to many interpretations; even great legal minds differ on the interpretation of the provisions of the constitution. Are we saying that heads of Chapter Nine institutions who may interpret a provision of the constitution different from how you and I interpret it are by the virtue of their interpretations disqualified from holding office?”
Steenhuisen argued that the comparison of judicial overreach and Chapter 9 institutions was like “comparing fish and fowl”.
Chapter 8 of the constitution deals specifically with the courts and administration of justice while Chapter 9 is a stand alone chapter that creates institutions that are meant to partner with Parliament in protecting and entrenching democracy and are given specific tasks.
“If there are errors that judges make‚ there is a specific procedure that is laid out for them. However I think in the case of Chapter 9 institutions ‚ there is a very specific provision about how they are held accountable and what procedure should be followed‚” he said.
While he accepted that people make mistakes‚ Steenhuisen said a head of a chapter nine institution is expected at the very least to have a grasp of the basic concept of where their mandate starts and stops and where they fit in in terms of the constitution.
“I don't say they must be disqualified‚ I certainly think they must be held accountable and the accountability mechanism that is used then is surely an inquiry into how that person arrived at that decision‚ why it was done and why they overlooked a very basic provision‚” he said.
The African Christian Democratic Party's Steve Swart warned that a court had found the public protector had acted disingenuously‚ meaning she has misled and has not spoken the truth‚ which is a serious finding. “This is more serious‚ you've got a finding of acting disingenuously by a high court judge and it was upheld on appeal by a full bench.”
Swart added the fact that the court made a punitive cost order‚ which is unusual‚ makes a compelling case for an inquiry. “If we do not agree‚ we would seriously be faulting our oversight responsibilities that have already been pointed out by the Constitutional Court in other matters‚ like the Nkandla matter‚” he said.
The committee will invite Mkhwebane to defend herself but no date has been set for this. | https://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2018-06-13-anc-mps-dont-appear-keen-on-mkhwebane-probe/ | 2018-10-15T17:06:51 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
