This is a fundamental research into the relationship between social work and the formulation and development of social policy, in which process the social worker plays a vital role. To carry out the responsible task of the social worker involves the application of specific skills and activities. The fulfilment of the task of the social worker through these skills and activities provides excellent opportunities for the policy development process. It is of the utmost importance that the shaping of social policy be recognised as a basic social work activity. By applying a critical approach and evaluating continuously, the social worker is in the unique position of identifying needs and problems as well as aspirations, ambitions and dreams in all communities. To achieve this, total commitment from the social worker is essential. The heterogeneous nature of South African society offers many challenges to the social worker. It is imperative that new approaches and lines of action should be developed in order to cope with the rapid change in the structure of South African society. The social worker ought to regard the various phases and processes of policy development as part of the daily task. This fundamental approach will only become a reality if social workers acknowledge the importance of continual policy development and participate consciously in the shaping, formulation and application of social policy.
Contributor Peter Isaacson explores the trends driving marketers to turn their attention to the nuts and bolts of implementing account-based marketing.
ABM is growing up. It’s gone from a buzzword B2B marketers couldn’t quite make sense of to a strategy that’s becoming more and more ingrained in our daily lives. Nowadays, marketers aren’t asking “why ABM,” they’re asking “how ABM.” How do I get my strategy up and running? How do I bring Sales into the conversation? How do I navigate the sea of ABM technology? How do I start running campaigns? How do I connect all my data sources and measure my results?
While a lot of factors have played a role in this shift from “why” to “how,” there are four reasons really worth calling out here.
Marketing departments have gotten a lot more sophisticated in the past few years. But when it comes to proving their value and reporting on the right metrics, they’re often finding themselves lost in the shuffle of all the data they collect, from downloads and click-through rates to page views and bounce rates.
As marketers feel increasing pressure to tie campaigns to revenue metrics, they’re looking to ABM for answers. ABM provides marketers a framework for measurement and gives them the ability to move past the vanity metrics toward understanding how each and every channel and program is contributing to one goal: turning target accounts into customers.
Measuring ROI isn’t the only challenge plaguing B2B marketers. As marketing has become increasingly digital, it’s become harder than ever for sales and marketing teams to capture and hold the attention of their prospects. So, instead of just continuing to “spray and pray” with hopes that a few good deals will eventually convert, marketers are realizing just how effective a personalized ABM approach can be.
Since ABM focuses only on a select number of accounts, it makes personalizing the message that much more efficient and effective for marketers. And it doesn’t all have to be manual, hands-on work. In fact, there are several technologies out there that automate the personalization process and make it easier for both Marketing and Sales to connect with their target accounts.
As marketers, we’re constantly looking to our peers to understand the latest trends, technologies and tactics. So it’s no wonder that word about ABM’s success has gotten around. B2B marketers have watched their early ABM adopter peers build, execute and measure ABM strategies that have more than delivered on the ROI front.
Fresh off the heels of their early adopter counterparts, more and more B2B marketers are looking not just to learn about ABM but also to find ways to best implement it in their organizations.
The ABM technology landscape has undergone tremendous growth in the past few years. Coupled with advances in artificial intelligence (AI), ABM technologies are now more powerful and have the ability to process larger quantities of data more efficiently, deliver more meaningful insights and generate automated actions.
AI enables an improvement in everything from account identification rates to real-time personalization based on intent data. It also supports a connected data model for each piece of ABM so that marketers can easily execute and measure their ABM initiatives throughout the entire funnel. All of this increased innovation not only makes adopting ABM that much easier, but it also gives marketers the ability to automate and scale their ABM efforts, which in turn frees up their time and allows them to think more strategically about their marketing and sales efforts.
As the conversation around ABM matures and evolves, B2B marketers will go even deeper with the strategy, the technologies will continue to develop and grow, and ABM will only get better and better with age.
There are few things that can compare with the ecstatic feeling of being in love. In fact, that feeling gets to the peak when it snowballs into an affair. And of course, marriage seems like the icing on the cake for such persons.
But sometimes, beyond the initial excitement, happy marriages soon run into troubled waters due to the actions and inactions of one of both partners.
When Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law announced on Saturday night that his marriage has hit the rocks, many of his fans were stunned and sad.
Unknown to them , It was only a ploy for the comedian to get fans attention for his forthcoming show.
Debunking his earlier statement, he wrote: “Human beings love bad news sha.
Please help me spread this one like the fake news. I need to sell tickets. I am sorry the joke is too expensive”.
His joke didn’t go down well with some of his fan as they took to the comment section of his post to throw jabs at him.

The original Sorin Markov is a nice card. His +2 ability is certainly useful, as it deals 2 damage to a target creature or player and gain 2 life. You tend to lose a lot of life in black decks, especially with Vampires, so it’s a welcome gain of 2 life with perhaps a little removal added in there. If you happen to have an opponent at 1 or 2 life just barely hanging on, which can certainly happen, it’s also quite useful.
The one thing that makes Sorin really good for Vampires, and really why he was created in the first place I think, is the -3 ability: Target opponent’s life total becomes 10. This is important since key vampire cards have abilities that activate at 10 life, like Bloodghast’s Haste, or deactivate as with Vampire Lacerator which makes you lose 1 life each upkeep unless your opponent is at 10 or less life. But Sorin rarely saw Constructed play back when he was in Standard. These two abilities always seemed enough of a reason to me to run a copy or two.
His -7 or so-called ultimate ability is sort of nice, too. You get to take over your opponent’s next turn, obviously to set him up for an easy picking on your next turn.
The one major issue with Sorin Markov is actually quite obvious. He’s a 6 drop. The 3 required black really isn’t a problem, but in a deck that was once extremely competitive like R/B Vampires, Sorin was just going to muck up your hand and took up slots better used for removal. He’s a nice card, but he ended up being relegated to Vampire deck builds that could occasionally win FNM’s and other local tourneys, not top 8 at Opens or a Grand Prix.
Today, though, he’s still a 15+ dollar card, even with his Magic 2012 reprint, a widely distributed Core Set. The main reason he remains so valuable is how nasty his -3 ability is in Commander. Taking a player from potentially 40 life (or even more) down to 10 can put said player in kill range. Since Sorin begins with 4 loyalty, it’s not impossible that Sorin can do this a couple of times in a Commander game while he’s on the board. With mono-black Devotion now a thing since the release of Theros, Sorin's 3 black mana symbols make him very useful for fueling Devotion effects. It took awhile for Sorin to find a home, but he’s going to be a valuable card for a very long time.
With how fast mana acceleration was with the release of the Zendikar fetch lands, this little 1 drop became a 5/5 very quickly, and it only grew stronger with each of your succeeding up-keeps, as long as you still controlled five or more lands.
With all the removal that’s come around since this card’s release, however, it’s just not as solid a card as it used to be. It definitely sees some play in Commander, though. I myself actually used to have it in my Ghave, Guru of Spores deck when I found it was an amazing one-drop to upgrade my pre-con Counter-Punch deck with.
It’s one of the more flavorful cards of Zendikar, and if it survives for one of your upkeeps, you get a 5/5 for 1 mana, that can become a 9/9, then a 13/13 and so on. Talk about value! It’s a card I’ve seen some people try to brew with in Modern, and some crazy Budget Zoo decks can certainly use this guy! It’s all about keeping him alive, because if they don’t Bolt him immediately, the game gets rough!
The Zendikar block had an interesting cycle of Quest enchantments. While the Quest for the Holy Relic is not by far the best of them, it’s an interesting card. This Quest only costs 1 white mana to cast. Whenever you cast a creature spell, you get to put a quest counter on the Quest. Once it has at least five quest counters, you may sacrifice it. When you do so, you search your deck for an Equipment card and put it onto the battlefield attached to a creature you control. You then, of course, shuffle your library.
There are certainly equipment-based Commander decks that love this card. These include decks that rely on their Commander beefed up with multiple Equipments swinging in for Commander damage. The Commanders that utilize this one-mana Enchantment the most include Kemba, Kha Regent and Nahiri, the Lithomancer.
While it’s not the most efficient tutor for Equipments, Quest for the Holy Relic is cheap to cast and fairly easy to trigger. It’s an investment of only one mana, and it gets you an Equipment onto the board and attached to a creature for that minimal investment. Any Equipment-based deck in Commander that runs White should at least consider it. Heck, Quest for the Holy Relic has even seen occasional play in Modern. It's a good card, but its effect is usually a bit slow to develop for Modern. Still, Quest decks were fun back when it was legal in Standard, and they're still fun to build and play.

Domestic dogs are important sources of rabies exposure for humans in the developing world. Control of the disease in endemic areas relies on the vaccination of owned dogs, and thus owners' attitudes and behavior towards household dogs may be of relevance to rabies control programs. However, none of the instruments used to evaluate attitudes towards companion animals have been validated for use in developing countries. In this paper, we present the development of an item scale to measure attitudes towards owned dogs in Tanzania. We assess the scale's reliability and validity, and conduct a preliminary analysis of factors affecting respondents' attitudes. Twelve 5-point Likert scale items were selected from an item pool during the pilot phase. Following administration of these items to 824 dog owners across 12 study sites in Tanzania, two subscales were derived, representing the acceptance of dogs as equals and physical interactions with household dogs. Both subscales showed acceptable levels of reliability and concurrent validity, although the latter estimates were found to be influenced by interviewer identity. Male respondents had significantly higher scores on both subscales than females, and Muslim respondents showed more positive attitudes towards dogs as equals than did Christians. Among those respondents who were also the heads of their households, those whose dogs were vaccinated against rabies had a more positive attitude towards dogs as equals. It is hoped that the derived item scale will serve as a basis to further understanding of the motivational considerations of attitudes towards dogs in developing countries, and how these may influence aspects of dog ownership, welfare, and disease control.

DIGITAL.CSIC: Are aneuploidy and chromosome breakage caused by a CINgle mechanism?
Are aneuploidy and chromosome breakage caused by a CINgle mechanism?
Authors: Martínez-Alonso, Carlos; Van Wely, Karel H. M.
Abstract: Genetic instability is a hallmark of cancer. Most tumors show complex patterns of translocations, amplifications and deletions, which have occupied scientists for decades. A specific problem arises in carcinomas with a genetic defect termed chromosomal instability; these solid tumors undergo gains and losses of entire chromosomes, as well as segmental defects caused by chromosome breaks. To date, the apparent inconsistency between intact and broken chromosomes has precluded identification of an underlying mechanism. The recent identification of centromeric breaks alongside aneuploidy in cells with spindle defects indicates that a single mechanism could account for all genetic alterations characteristic of chromosomal instability. Since a poorly controlled spindle can cause merotelic attachments, kinetochore distortion, and subsequent chromosome breakage, spindle defects can generate the sticky ends necessary to start a breakage-fusion-bridge cycle. The characteristic breakpoint of spindle-generated damage, adjacent to the centromere, also explains the losses and gains of whole chromosome arms, which are especially prominent in low-grade tumors. The recent data indicate that spindle defects are an early event in tumor formation, and an important initiator of carcinogenesis.

What is the church of jesus christ of latter day saints official standpoint about the "sons of God marrying the daughters of men"?
1. Was it marriage between the sons from the line of seth and daughters from cains line?
2.Was it angels from heaven who married women from earth and bare children who became giants 3-15 meter tall.
It is very important for me that i get an honest answer and that i get an answer wich the church as wholesome can stand up for.
Below i give you some websites you can study so you get to know the subject.
Obviously there is no "official stantpoint" on the passage in question, nor is there much at all that seems related. To me, speculation about giants and angels seems esoteric far beyond reason. I'm still meditating about "Let there be light".
Here's a link to a relevant discussion on another blog examining human evolution.

Brendan McGarry: I’m guessing that you were working hard for a short period of time and that was about it – did you have any time for recreating or was it just eat, sleep, work?
Ben Freeman: We were pretty regimented due to the amount of work we had to do. It was a busy schedule, but we took a couple days off towards the end of the trip to let workers hike back to their villages for Sunday breaks — their day of rest, church time etc — and to do laundry, sleep etc. So it was eat, sleep, work but on a given day the work came in patches; the nets were most active in the morning and much of the midday was usually fairly relaxed; we’d all stretch out if it was sunny and make little dens of ferns to sleep on (fern stay dry and make good bedding).
BM: Did you spend any time interacting with ‘locals’?
BF: Yup. All the time. Everything we did was thanks to the hard work of our workers and porters. PNG is famous for its linguistic diversity — over 700 languages spoken on the island — but everyone uses an English-based creole language called Tok Pisin to communicate. So we tried to learn Tok Pisin and tell stories of life in America while the local guys tried to teach us Tok Pisin and tell us stories about village life and hunting trips to the bush (the “bush” being the forest, or anywhere that is not a human-dominated landscape).
