Our Design and Detailed Engineering solutions and services are guided and managed by a team of experienced Engineering Management personnel.
Piping systems experience different loadings, categorized into three basic loading types, namely Sustained, Thermal and Occasional loads.
It mainly consists of internal pressure and dead-weight. Dead-weight is from weight of pipes, fittings, components such as valves, operating fluid, test fluid, insulation, cladding, lining etc.
Internal design/operating pressure develops uniform circumferential stresses in the pipe wall, based on which pipe wall thickness is determined during the process/P&ID stage of plant design such that "failure by rupture" is avoided. In addition, internal pressure develops axial stresses in the pipe wall. These axial pressure stresses vary only with pressure, pipe diameter and wall thickness, all three of which are pre-set at the P&ID stage and hence these axial pressure stresses cannot be reduced by changing the piping layout or the support scheme.
On the other hand, dead-weight causes the pipe to bend (generally downward) between supports and nozzles, producing axial stresses in the pipe wall (also called "bending stresses"); these bending stresses linearly vary across the pipe cross-section, being tensile at either the top or bottom surface and compressive at the other surface. If the piping system is not supported in the vertical direction (i.e., in the gravity direction) excepting at equipment nozzles, bending of the pipe due to dead-weight may develop excessive stresses in the pipe and impose large loads on equipment nozzles, thereby increasing the susceptibility to "failure by collapse".
Various international piping codes impose limits, also called "allowable stresses for sustained loads", on these axial stresses generated by dead-weight and pressure in order to avoid "failure by collapse".
Both rod hangers and resting steel supports fully restrain downward pipe movement but permit pipe to lift up at such supports. If pipe lifts up at any of the rod hangers / resting supports during operating condition, then that support does not carry any pipe weight and hence will not serve its purpose.
Two examples are presented to illustrate how piping can be supported by spring hangers and resting steel supports to comply with the code requirements for sustained loads.
It refers to the "cyclic" thermal expansion/contraction of piping as the system goes from one thermal state to another thermal state (for example, from "shut-down" to "normal operations" and then back to "shut-down"). If the piping system is not restrained in the thermal growth/contraction directions (for example, in the axial direction of a straight pipe), then for such cyclic thermal load, the pipe expands/contracts freely; in this case, no internal forces, moments and resulting stresses and strains are generated in the piping.
Introduce bends/elbows in the layout, as bends/ elbows "ovalize" when bent by end-moments, which increases piping flexibility.
Introduce as much "offsets" as possible between equipment nozzles (which are normally modeled as anchors in pipe stress analysis).
For example, if two equipment nozzles (which are to be connected by a pipeline) are in line, then the straight pipe connecting these nozzles is "very stiff". On the other hand, if the two equipment are located with an "offset", then their nozzles will have to be connected by an "L-shaped" pipeline which includes a bend/elbow; such "L-shaped" pipeline is much more flexible than the straight pipeline mentioned above.
Introduce expansion loops (with each loop consisting of four bends/elbows) to absorb thermal growth/contraction.
Lastly, introduce expansion joints such as bellows, slip joints etc., if warranted.
In addition to generating thermal stress ranges in the piping system, cyclic thermal loads impose loads on static and rotating equipment nozzles. By following one or more of the steps from (a) to (d) above and steps (e) and (f) listed below, such nozzle loads can be reduced.
Introduce "axial restraints" (which restrain pipe in its axial direction) at appropriate locations such that thermal growth/contraction is directed away from equipment nozzles, especially critical ones.
Introduce "intermediate anchors" (which restrain pipe movement in the three translational and three rotational directions) at appropriate locations such that thermal deformation is absorbed by regions (such as expansion loops) away from equipment nozzles.
A few example layouts are presented to illustrate how loops/offsets, axial restraints and intermediate anchors are used to reduce thermal stresses in piping (and resulting nozzle loads).
This type of load is imposed on piping by occasional events such as earthquake, wind etc. To protect piping from wind (which normally blows in horizontal plane), it is normal practice to attach "lateral supports" to piping systems. During an earthquake, the earth may also move vertically. To protect piping against both horizontal and vertical movement during earthquake, some of the resting supports may be made as "integral 2-way vertical and lateral restraints".
Fortunately, to carry sustained loads, normally vertical supports (as those listed under the Section titled "Sustained Load" above) are required. To withstand static seismic 'g' loads, "integral 2-way vertical and lateral restraints" are required. Generally, some of the vertical weight supports can be modified as "integral 2-way vertical and lateral restraints". On the other hand, for thermal loads, zero supports give zero stresses. So, thermal stresses and equipment nozzle loads will normally decrease as the number of supports goes down. Axial restraints and intermediate anchors are recommended only to direct thermal growth away from equipment nozzles.

Working routines start from waking up, taking a shower, getting ready, having breakfast and other activities that keep repeating every day except holidays, of course. Holidays are fun, although maybe for some people who are very fanatical at work, holidays are the most boring thing. And tiring! But for those of us who miss holiday, it is certainly very enjoyable if we have already entered the holiday.
In this article, I would like to share my experience of staying overnight at SBS Resort Barelang at my holiday time.
SBS Resort Barelang is one of tourist spot far from the crowds, close to the beach and nearby an icon of the city of Batam, is the complete package that I got.
My journey started from my beloved city, Batam. It takes around 1 hour from Batam Center to go to SBS Resort Barelang by car. For information, currently no public transportation here.
SBS Resort Barelang is located in Sembulang, Galang, Batam City, Riau Islands 29481. Along the way, we cross Barelang Bridge, the iconic bridge of Batam. The journey will continue and cross total 4 bridges from 6 chain bridges of Barelang.
The resort is located just before Barelang 5th bridge which also known as Tuanku Tambusai bridge. The bridge is visible from the resort as well.
A quite tiring journey, finally rewarded with a very beautiful view, the Wooden Board that reads SBS Camp welcomed us, as long as our eyes looked, nothing we regretted, all these sights, were very beautiful, we never ceased to give thanks to the Almighty for the Gift this is very beautiful.
Okay we decided to come in, and find information about this SBS Resort, in the process of finding information we got information from the SBS Assistant Manager, that there were 10 villas provided at SBS Resort, and it was a new building, because it was only inaugurated September 25 2017.
We also found a Seafood Restaurant, according to the information the Seafood Restaurant has just opened on August 17, 2017, if seen from this year the Seafood Restaurant has been in operation for one year.
This Seafood Restaurant is at the Stage House that I mentioned above, and provides many Seadfood dishes, and some of the favorites there are, Hepo BlackPaper, Crab Sauce Padang, Tochiu Steam Grouper and also Salted Egg Cutters.
From where we eat, we can enjoy the magnificent view of 5th Barelang bridge or Tuanku Tambusai bridge. We enjoy a very beautiful sunset, when the evening approaches.
Our assessment, for the design of this room is very unique, to enter the Villa there are two doors, the first door from the front and the second door from the front of the living room, when we open the door from the living room, we find the toilet room, and new room.
The next day, we enjoy the watersport at SBS Resort beach. There were kayak, banana boat, snorkeling, island tour and else. First, we try kayak, because me and my partner want to race rowing in the SBS beach area.
Sea water at SBS Resort was quite calm at that time, we were still advised to use life jacket all the time. Just in case.
Having tired of enjoying the many Watesport at SBS Resort, we both relax on the beach enjoying the calm scenery and warm sun, under the tent. I personally don’t want my skin to be darker. It’s darker enough right now hahaha.
For your information, at SBS Resort also provides a place called Barak. That place is specifically for those of you who come with a group, this barracks can fit up to 10 people. This Barak concept, is far different from Villa, this Barak is more like a Camp. Suitable for gathering with family or large group.
Below is price list for water villa and water sport.

How about you pair your dessert with wine? They are both delicious, so why not put them together?
Everyone loves a B.B.Q. Here are some tips on how to enjoy it....even more!
Syrah, Shiraz and Petit Sirah basically sound the same right? But they are not all the same.
Red wine into an ice bucket, or tossing it into the refrigerator??
Lets try some new options.

In Hudson, User objects are created in on-demand basis; for example, when a build is performed, its change log is computed and as a result commits from users who Hudson has never seen may be discovered. When this happens, new User object is created.
If the persisted record for an user exists, the information is loaded at that point, but if there's no such record, a fresh instance is created from thin air (this is where UserPropertyDescriptor.newInstance(User) is called to provide initial UserProperty objects.
Jenkins now refuses to let the user login if he/she doesn't exist in SecurityRealm, which was necessary to make sure users removed from the backend will get removed from the frontend.
Jenkins historically created a (usually) ephemeral user record when an user with Overall/Administer permission accesses a /user/arbitraryName URL.
Updates the user object by adding a property.
With ADMINISTER permission, can delete users with persisted data but can't delete self.
Gets the User object representing the currently logged-in user, or null if the current user is anonymous.
Deletes the data directory and removes this user from Hudson.
Deletes this user from Hudson.
This method is deprecated, because it causes unexpected User creation by API usage code and causes performance degradation of used to retrieve users by ID. Use getById(java.lang.String, boolean) when you know you have an ID. Otherwise use getOrCreateByIdOrFullName(String) or get(String, boolean, Map).
Gets the User object by its id or full name.
The URL of the user page.
List of all UserPropertys exposed primarily for the remoting API.
Checks for authorities (groups) associated with this user.
Gets the list of Builds that include changes by this user, by the timestamp order.
Gets the human readable name of this user.
Get the user by ID or Full Name.
Gets all the AbstractProjects that this user has committed to.
Gets the user properties configured for this user.
Gets the specific property, or null.
Return all properties that are also actions.
Return all transient actions associated with this user.
Gets the fallback "unknown" user instance.
This method checks with SecurityRealm if the user is a valid user that can login to the security realm.
Returns the folder that store all the user information.
Returns the IdStrategy for use with User instances.
Creates an Authentication object that represents this user.
Is the ID allowed? Some are prohibited for security reasons.
Called when changing the IdStrategy.
To be called from Jenkins.reload() only.
Sets the description of the user.
Sets the human readable name of the user.
Unfortunately this infringed some legitimate use cases of creating Jenkins-local users for automation purposes. This escape hatch switch can be enabled to resurrect that behaviour.
Unfortunately this constitutes a CSRF vulnerability, as malicious users can make admins create arbitrary numbers of ephemeral user records, so the behavior was changed in Jenkins 2.TODO / 2.32.2.
As some users may be relying on the previous behavior, setting this to true restores the previous behavior. This is not recommended.
the IdStrategy for use with User instances.
Gets the human readable name of this user. This is configurable by the user.
Sets the human readable name of the user. If the input parameter is empty, the user's ID will be set.
This method checks with SecurityRealm if the user is a valid user that can login to the security realm. If SecurityRealm is a kind that does not support querying information about other users, this will use LastGrantedAuthoritiesProperty to pick up the granted authorities as of the last time the user has logged in.
org.acegisecurity.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException - If this user is not a valid user in the backend SecurityRealm.
userDetails - Provided by getUserDetailsForImpersonation().
This is used to avoid null User instance.
create - If true, this method will never return null for valid input (by creating a new User object if none exists.) If false, this method will return null if User object with the given name doesn't exist.
Requested user. May be null if a user does not exist and create is false.
In order to resolve the user ID, the method invokes User.CanonicalIdResolver extension points. Note that it may cause significant performance degradation. If you are sure the passed value is a User ID, it is recommended to use getById(String, boolean).
An existing or created user. May be null if a user does not exist and create is false.
Deprecated. This method is deprecated, because it causes unexpected User creation by API usage code and causes performance degradation of used to retrieve users by ID. Use getById(java.lang.String, boolean) when you know you have an ID. Otherwise use getOrCreateByIdOrFullName(String) or get(String, boolean, Map).
Use getById(java.lang.String, boolean) when you know you have an ID. In this method Jenkins will try to resolve the User by full name with help of various UserNameResolver. This is slow (see JENKINS-23281).
If the user does not exist, creates a new one on-demand.
User instance. It will be created on-demand.
a - the supplied Authentication .
id - the id of the user to retrieve and optionally create if it does not exist.
create - If true, this method will never return null for valid input (by creating a new User object if none exists.) If false, this method will return null if User object with the given id doesn't exist.
the a User whose id is id, or null if create is false and the user does not exist.
Called by tests in the JTH. Otherwise this shouldn't be called. Even in the tests this usage is questionable.
Returns the folder that store all the user information. Useful for plugins to save a user-specific file aside the config.xml. Exposes implementation details that may be subject to change.
The folder containing the user configuration files or null if the user was not yet saved.
Is the ID allowed? Some are prohibited for security reasons. See SECURITY-166.
Note that this is only enforced when saving. These users are often created via the constructor (and even listed on /asynchPeople), but our goal is to prevent anyone from logging in as these users. Therefore, we prevent saving a User with one of these ids.
true if the username or fullname is valid. For null or blank IDs returns false.
IOException - if we fail to delete.
Checks for authorities (groups) associated with this user. If the caller lacks Jenkins.ADMINISTER, or any problems arise, returns an empty list. SecurityRealm.AUTHENTICATED_AUTHORITY and the username, if present, are omitted.
the list can be empty but never null. read only.

Jesse Muhammad (JM): First, thank you for taking the time to give me this interview. Please tell me a little background about yourself.
Ashley Minor (AM): I'm from Tulsa, OK. The youngest of two, and a graduate of Texas Southern University.
JM: Growing up did you always believe you would be a successful woman?
AM: Yes, I did. My parents always allowed me to pursue my dreams. They believed in me a lot. Their confidence in me reinforced the idea that mediocrity was not an option.
JM: That’s wonderful. So, what gave birth to Medley, Inc? What drew you into the field of public relations?
AM: I've always worn many hats. Even when I was in school full-time and worked a full-time job, I was constantly pursuing independent endeavors. I was drawn to PR because it allowed me to work in a hectic, fulfilling environment. Each day it's something new and exciting. I feel like I'm constantly in PR mode, it's a job that never ends.
Medley was born very naturally. I was already freelancing in the industry, but I realized that I wanted a team, a corporation.
JM: I have heard multiple definitions of public relations. How would you define it?
AM: I think the definition of PR gets blurred. PR does not consist of only marketing and promotions. To succeed in PR, you have to be familiar with public relations writing formats, and the most essential skill is to be a pro at building and nourishing relationships. At Medley, we are very bottom line. For us, PR is actually securing media coverage for our clients through various marketing strategies.
JM: How important is it for a publicist to be skilled in or knowledgeable of evolving technologies?
AM: Today, it's essential for a publicist to be skilled in the changing trends in technology. The same thing goes for all media professionals. If nothing else, it's great to be aware of new tools for branding purposes. PR professionals should be masters of developing their personal brand online.
JM: When someone approaches you about developing a marketing and branding campaign, what are the top five questions you ask them?
AM: What is the goal of your company/brand?, What does your target audience want?, How does your offering match what they want?, Who are your major competitors? and How will you measure our success?
JM: Do you enjoy being an entrepreneur? How have you maintained success during the economic crunch?
AM: I love being an entrepreneur! I think we've been successful at Medley, because we understand so much about new media. We understand search engine friendly websites, video production, content management, and of course, public relations. Businesses are now focusing on maximizing their dollars. We offer a wide range of services, and our backgrounds prove that we are qualified.
JM: I heard that on April 8th, Jones Magazine will debut their reality show “Keeping Up with the Joneses,” on Centric TV and you're a part of the cast. What is your role in the show? How did you land this opportunity and how was the experience behind the scenes?
AM: For the magazine, I manage all of the promotional initiatives. On the show, I'll be doing some promotional work as well as event coordinating. I've worked with Jones for three years now, and we'd been in talks of having a show and launching nationally for some time. It all just sort of fell into place, of course we all worked extremely hard to make it happen.
Behind the scenes was the best part for me. In fact, I've decided that my next career move (long term) will deal with production. It's a lot like event planning. Various elements come together, fit in the right place and the end result is magnificent.
JM: What do you have planned for the final three quarters of 2010?
AM: For the final three quarters of 2010, I plan to focus heavily on growing our team and to develop even more services. Soon we'll be offering media trainings, and we're now starting to develop electronic press kits for artists! It's all very exciting and I feel blessed to work with a group of creative, energized and skilled young professionals.
JM: Thank you and I wish you continued success!
powerful young sister! go head black woman!
Awesome interview Ash, I need to interview you for my blog, LOL!!!

I can't grow spinach. Snails are a problem. I live in long dry season area.
And doesn't spinach prefers northern latitudes? Cool with long days?
Why does store bought spinach include so much mud?
Also, I notice the mud usually has some sand content.
picked when it rains you'll get mud, too.

clean, though they were not in the past when I was direct seeding.
those that are mulched require no washing even after rain.

Do we need to be mindful of how the popularisation of mindfulness may be creating a movement that has characteristics of a religion thinly disguised as secular self-help psychology?
In this short video, “You start to peel back the onion to what it means to be human” (http://bit.ly/1LJ42XR) produced by Mindful Direct, Jon Kabat–Zinn explains his working definition of mindfulness. He is rightly recognised as a pioneer in the field of mindfulness and it is his work, in developing Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, that has given the word its popular meaning.
Historically meditation has been the preserve of monastics, ascetics and hermits. Interest in meditation has grown in the west following its encounter with Asian tradition, however, mysticism is going to put many people off in secular society today. If it is going to be accessible to different sections of society, it needs to be explained clearly and in straightforward ways. Kabat-Zinn’s innovation was to teach what he termed mindfulness in a course using secular language.
Kabat-Zinn’s definition of mindfulness is: “it is the awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.” This definition is widely used across the mindfulness movement and in academic journals and books on mindfulness.
This definition may appear straightforward but Kabat-Zinn has to qualify what he means by “non-judgmentally”. In this talk he explains that we still need to apply discernment and goes on to explain that “discernment plays a very, very big role in things; being able to understand it’s not black or white but an infinite number of shades”. Here, he seems to be saying that “discernment” may be “non-judgmental” if judgments are made on the basis of perceiving things as “an infinite number of shades” rather than in “black and white” terms.
He then says: “We’re capable of understanding both conceptually and even, much more importantly, non-conceptually as well.” Clearly it is only conceptual understanding that needs to be framed in language whereas non-conceptual understanding does not need language or to adhere to the rules of language. Is there hidden in this claim, a suggestion that non-conceptual understanding may be valid even when it may not make sense?
Later in this short talk, Kabat-Zinn describes a capacity for a wise awareness that is cognisant of its independence of mind-states of greed, delusion and hatred. He then seems to validate this idea by claiming it has traditional Buddhist origins.
Next he says that “the real weather patterns of the mind are secondary to the knowing capacity of mind”. He claims this “knowing capacity of mind” is unchanging and not affected by defiled mind states and equates it with Buddha nature and “not-knowing”. Wisdom, he claims is a combination of “not-knowing” and “knowing”.
Is this just mystical gobbledegook or is there some truth hidden in this metaphysical dialectic? What I feel may be of concern is the fact that here Kabat-Zin appears to invoke the authority of traditional wisdom to validate what seem to be confused notions of “mindfulness”.
Such devices, which validate an eternal or “unchanging” reality, that can only be expressed in metaphysical terms that may not make sense rationally, and therefore cannot be questioned, are classically used by religion to create relationships of unequal power between priests and laity or guru and disciple. Is this what Kabat-Zinn is knowingly or not-knowingly doing? Or is it because he is trying to explain something that could be better explained but doesn’t understand clearly enough to explain without resorting to the device of religious authority?
Whatever his intention, I believe the authority his definition of mindfulness is given in the literature and how he is being positioned represents a potential threat to the benefit mindfulness could have in society because it amounts to setting up doctrine and religious authority that cannot be questioned. This will inevitably create a backlash against mindfulness.
We can acknowledge Kabat-Zinn for what he has achieved and the contribution he has made, but I believe we should follow the Buddha’s advice in the Kalama Sutta; rejecting teaching that is taught on the basis of personal authority, or tradition, or use of specious reasoning, or some kind of abstract notion that has been dreamt up. I do believe there are better ways of explaining mindfulness and so liberate it from any trappings of encroaching mysticism. This is important if we wish to enable the greatest good to come from the widest possible access to mindfulness in society today; that might never have been possible had it not been for Kabat-Zinn’s work in the first place.

On Monday night at 8:50 PM, KVFD was dispatched to a report of an electrical fire inside the GameStop in West Sadsbury Commons. The caller advised Chester County 9-1-1 that it smelled like something electrical was burning and there was smoke coming from the ceiling.
Upon Chief Cazillo's arrival a few minutes later, he reported that smoke was showing outside the store and requested that the call be upgraded to a building fire, thereby bring additional resources. Chief Cazillo assumed "Common's Command."
Multiple companies responded and assisted.
At 9:12 PM, Chief Cazillo advised that the fire was under control and firefighters were in-service with ventilation. Firefighters found electrical issues inside and shut down the power until it could be inspected while PECO pulled the meter.
It is unknown if this was related to a brief power outage that the area experienced a few minutes before.

Fiona McVie of authorsinterviews interviewed me about my writing, major influences, and my latest book, The Genie Hunt.
Great interview, Mike. I can totally see Chris Pratt as Buddy in the Genie Hunt. And I had no idea you were a Hemingway fan, plus I share your enthusiasm for the works of Jack London. I’ve visited his home a couple times, Wolf House, since he donated it to the state and it’s right here in northern California. I get a charge out of diving into his character, finding out more about the man behind the stories.
Thank you! Yes, I’m a big fan of ol’ Ernie. Back when I was getting nothing but rejection slips from editors, I’d pester them with polite but insistent emails asking why. Finally, a couple of them said I had great plots and interesting characters, but so much description that it slowed down the action and character development.
I worked on that shortcoming by hand copying passages from Hemingway and Elmore Leonard, then I’d write out what I thought might come next. I got pretty good at that, and the exercise definitely helped me distinguish description that moves the story along from that which bogs things down.
I just read your interview! The paragraph in your excerpt where Diab was describing the physicality of the Jann was so concise, yet full. As one who has not read your book yet, that one paragraph sold me.
I truly appreciate that! Thank you. I hope you enjoy the rest of The Genie Hunt when it comes out next month!
let me know, please. I was gonna go look for it now. but if you could let me know, I’d be honored. thank you and congrats on your book!
Excellent interview! I reblogged the original.

If wearing makeup isn�t your thing�or if you just don�t have the time to put it on every morning, make sure you have a good foundation to work with. Finding a skincare system you love (and one that loves your skin in return!) will keep your skin happy and bright.... Don't know which side is your best? Use a blank piece of paper to cover half of you face while looking in a mirror. Then switch sides. Whichever half you prefer the most wins! "Round faces need a curtain of hair to lengthen the shape and balance the features," says James.
"Don't worry, before you know it, it will grow back," I could read from their eyes. It seemed unthinkable for me to willingly cut off my hair at my age (late 20s).... If your hair naturally parts down the middle, create a side part by parting your hair while it is wet, then applying a gel to hold the new part in place. Then, use a fine-toothed comb to direct your hair in the new direction as you blow dry.

If you have curly or thick hair, you�ll blow dry it and comb the top of your hair back while your hair is wet. Once dry, use a strong water-based wax to hold it back. Make sure to only do the top of your head so you don�t smooth out your natural curls.

18/07/2010�� I don't know if you self trim, but I like the method where you twist a small piece of hair until just the ends stick out and then trim those that need it. I find that my splits cause more tangles, which in turn leads to more splits, so I keep my trimmed as much as possible.

On the 8th of February, as we entered the Year of the Monkey, the Confucius Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine (CITCM) celebrated in style by displaying a spectacular performance in the Edric theatre on the LSBU campus. This event was supported by the LSBSU, the international Office Staff and the China Student Scholar Association (CSSA).
Chinese New Year is the biggest national holiday in china and is celebrated on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar. This twelve-year lunar cycle is associated with the Chinese zodiac and each year is represented by a different animal - 2016 marks the year of the Monkey.
The show started with a lively lion dance – this was the perfect way to set the mood and excite the audience. During the show the wide variety of performances, including 'The Elegant Rendering of Martial Arts using Umbrellas', 'Good Days' and 'Flying Song for Mother Earth', continued to stimulate a variety of different emotions from great nostalgia to colossal excitement.
Three raffles were drawn in-between the performances. The winning prize, kindly donated by CSSA was a kindle. As Professor Paul Ivey announced the winning ticket, the winner shrieked with joy. Similar reactions were received as the winners of the Amazon vouchers were drawn by the Worshipful Mayor of Southwark and the Chinese Calendars were drawn by Professor Yinong Xu, Executive Director of the Confucius Institute for TCM.
After a very successful evening, Professor Yinong Xu expressed that ‘The Spring Festival should be a treasure not just for the Chinese, but for all peoples, and it is our privilege and duty to share the festivity and joy with LSBU students and staff, as well as the local community’.

As Egypt’s General Abdul Fatah al-Sissi declared martial law in Egypt on July 3, 2013, many in Pakistan were quick to point out the difference between Pakistan and Egypt. Statements were made on social media about Pakistan’s maturity as compared to Egypt. But my concern is, why do we use military intervention as the only measure to determine how politically proactive armed forces are? Why must we forget that a putsch is just an indication of the frustration of the junta and not necessarily the only expression of a military’s desire and ability to manipulate state and society? Anyone reading the Abbottabad Commission Report, initially leaked on Al-Jazeera, would arrive at the conclusion that there are other ways to measure civil-military relations, and that in Pakistan’s case it is not as picture perfect as one would like to believe.
Many would read the report as an investigative piece searching for answers on how Osama bin Laden managed to live in a high security zone such as Abbottabad with his wives and children without being found out, and how the US launched its operation against Laden, almost undetected, inside Pakistan. The report fails to give any definitive answers about who was responsible for the breach of sovereignty by both the Al Qaeda leadership and the US. This is possibly because the report is actually an initial version written by one of the members of the commission, the former ambassador Ashraf Jahangir Qazi, and not the final draft. Allegedly, the final draft is a watered-down version with a note of dissent by Mr Qazi, in which he has also named names. Apparently, this is also one of the reasons that the final draft has not been made public. Although the Nawaz Sharif government is mulling over the idea of releasing the final report, it could also use this as a bargaining chip to perhaps negotiate with the military leadership.
However, if the government ultimately decides not to release the report it will not come as a surprise since Pakistan is not known to make public the findings of any inquiry commission. The Hamood-ur-Rehman Commission report on the 1971 break-up of Pakistan was also leaked to the foreign press before it became public inside the country. Perhaps, there should also be a demand for an inquiry into why investigations undertaken with public money are hidden (one fears even that the report may never be disclosed).
The Abbottabad Commission Report has been the talking point for several weeks now. Most of the discussion has centred around the former ISI chief, Lt. General (retd) Ahmed Shuja Pasha’s rather derogatory remarks lambasting the political government for its failure to make the system work. Indeed, several officers testifying before the commission including the DG ISI and DG Military Intelligence (MI) have declared Pakistan’s system as being dysfunctional. In his testimony, General Pasha even declared the country to be a ‘failing,’ if not entirely a ‘failed,’ state. Others like the notorious Sharifuddin Pirzada were quick in declaring the report to be a sample of failed political governance.
But wading through the leaked version of the report, one wonders as to what this system is, which everyone testifying before the commission seems to complain about? What is the nature of dysfunctionality? And why was the system not working despite the fact that successive Pakistani governments have poured billions of rupees into the national security apparatus? No answers to such questions were attempted by the Commission, which only drew a picture of a problematic system without pinning the blame on any individual or group of people. Given that the Abbottabad Commission had access to all sorts of material and interviewed around 201 people, such omission is almost criminal. However, the fact that no names were named and the report merely suggested that neither OBL nor the Americans could be detected due to the dysfunctionality of the system, one wonders what in actuality, was the nature of this system.
We gather from the report that OBL had spent about nine years in Pakistan, dating back to his escape from Tora Bora in 2002. Since then, he lived in Swat, Haripur and, finally, Abbottabad. We also know that his wives travelled frequently and even stayed in Karachi and Quetta. Furthermore, other terrorists like the Indonesian bomber Umer Patek also came to visit him and was, in fact, caught from a house located a couple of miles away from OBL’s house in Abbottabad. However, no effort was made to see if there were other Al Qaeda leaders in the vicinity. In his testimony, the DG MI admits that no further effort was made to explore any other links mainly due to the fact that it was left to the bigger agency, the ISI, to track and locate Al Qaeda. The DG Intelligence Bureau (IB) makes a similar claim. But from General Pasha’s statement we know that his two counterparts in MI and IB are, at best, foolish in expecting the ISI to deliver because the organisation was extremely overburdened and hence unable to locate OBL. It was involved with the Afghan war in the 1980s and subsequently asked by the government to help post 9/11.
Furthermore, since no other institution in Pakistan works, the ISI had to do everything and thus was unable to deliver.
The bulk of the military, including the DGs MI and ISI, the Adjutant-General of the Army, the Air Chief and his Deputy Chief of Air Staff (Operations) are very upset with the Americans for hiding intelligence information from them. The report reveals that the US would occasionally talk to them to complain about OBL and Al Qaeda’s presence in Pakistan but it did not share any information. However, given the fact that the Americans suspected that Pakistan’s security establishment had moles within its ranks, why would they trust it with critical information? Reading this report against the backdrop of incidents such as the attacks on GHQ, PAC Kamra and Mehran Base Karachi one begins to wonder if the Commission is correct in pointing out the inefficiency of the system rather than any complicity. In fact, the assessment section of the report does complain about the agencies not properly investigating the Umer Patek case, which might have led them to OBL earlier than the Americans. The question is, can complicity be ruled out entirely?
In their testimonies, which are cited in the leaked report, all military officers complain about various organisations not delivering. For instance, the revenue department registered the sale deed for the land on which the house was built in the name of one of the two OBL aides (both Pushtoon) on a fake NIC. The fact that the NIC was actually not issued by NADRA was ignored because a lot of the tribal areas do not have this facility. Then, no one bothered to find out why there were four gas meters on the property. The four meters were installed so to avoid detection of the large number of people living in the house. Although the military tries to blame it on the negligence of the police, the latter were of the opinion that since the house where OBL lived fell in an area under the military’s jurisdiction, the IB, the CID and other police agencies had little interest in snooping around. The most telling part of the report relates to the testimonies of the police versus those of the Commandant of the Pakistan Military Academy, Kakul, pertaining to the investigation after the American operation on May 2. Apparently, the police were told not to interfere, and the control of the place was taken over by the military. The first person to reach the house in Bilal Town was a local police official.
The above incident is critical in not only explaining why certain agencies of the state were more inefficient, but also how the civil-military relations imbalance translates into the inefficient performance of civilian agencies. The ‘inefficiency’ of the police and revenue officials in this particular instance has a definite explanation to it: these agencies would not interfere in the military’s sphere of influence anywhere in the country. Is it possible that people were stopped from snooping around so as to prevent them from accidentally discovering OBL in Abbottabad? (Reading this portion of the report, I was reminded of how police officials are stopped by officials from the military’s intelligence agencies whenever they try to probe into Jaish-e-Mohammad’s new, facility under construction on the main GT Road near Bahawalpur).
A greater mystery is how the US SEALS entered Pakistan undetected on May 2 and conducted an operation about which the air chief was informed by the army chief after almost a couple of hours. The question is: Why this delay? The air chief’s statement is disconcerting as it exposes problems of strategic planning within the armed forces.
According to the Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar, the military strategy is so focused on India that they never looked West. The PAF’s planning was never focused on countering the US. This is interesting, considering the fact that the PAF and the military in general have also engaged in a propaganda regarding their ability to shoot down American drones. But if they cannot counter conventional airships like helicopters or even detect them, how can one expect them to shoot down drones? Why was the PAF caught napping despite the fact that the US had violated Pakistan’s air space at least twice in 2008? Is this negligence just another reflection of their inefficiency or complicity with the US? According to Air Marshal (retd) Shahid Lateef, the PAF did pick up noises on the Afghan-Pak border on the evening of May 1. Although the air chief and DCAS denied this, we know that the PAF has a history of picking up noises and being silenced (by the army) as had happened during the Kargil operation.
One is tempted to return to the debate on whether the Abbottabad Commission report was deliberately leaked — and by whom? There are those who believe that the political government might have been behind it so as to put pressure on the military to discipline them. This is probable because currently there is a debate raging in Parliament about ‘Higher Defense Reorganisation.’ The last time such restructuring took place was in the 1990s, after the army’s defeat against India in the 1971 war. But then there are others who claim that the leak might have been encouraged by the military itself. The one possible explanation for this could be to make a case for inefficiency as opposed to complicity. Moreover, by leaking the report, the burden of the inefficiency could be shared with the civil bureaucracy and the government. But it is also possible that while the military had no role in leaking the report it might have tried to subsequently benefit from it because the report seems to push the inefficiency argument more than the theory about complicity. The argument that the military did not have a role in hiding OBL came on the foot of an earlier narrative pushed by the army through its intellectual conduits like Brig (retd) Shaukat Qadir, who, in 2012, had produced a book called ‘Operation Geranimo’ making a similar argument. In fact, he had built a story according to which OBL was compromised by one of his wives and that the Pakistan army had a hand in capturing the Al Qaeeda leader. What is the truth and whether there was an element of complicity in hiding or catching OBL are questions which probably could not have been answered by a commission too cautious about stepping on the military establishment’s toes. Reportedly, the first draft produced by the chairman of the commission was so lukewarm in its presentation that it was opposed by one of the members. It is also said that the military member of the commission was so mindful of his military norms that he went to receive the air chief as part of the military protocol despite that fact that his role as a member of the inquiry commission put him in a different role. The incident may be insignificant but it raises questions about the quality of inquiry and the results of the final report.
A journalist friend called me up within a week of the Abbottabad Commission report getting leaked. His question was: Will the government be able to now put a system in place to reduce the military’s sphere of influence and to make it more transparent so that another May 2 does not happen? Possibly not. Already, people within the parliamentary system are trying to avoid any further investigation of what really happened on May 2 and who was responsible for it. Known for his good relations with the security establishment, the Chairman of the Senate Committee for Defense, Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed, recently stated in one of the committee meetings that there should not be any finger-pointing, But the point is, how can the system be improved unless transparency is built into the decision-making process that helps trace who made an erroneous decision and how it was made. The fact that a declared terrorist, who was to be hunted down by Pakistan, US and other allies as part of the war on terror, lived in Pakistan for so long and that foreign forces sneaked into the country undetected and conducted a major operation to take him out, reeks of gross inefficiency that must not go unpunished.
According to the Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar, the military strategy is so focused on India that they never looked West. The PAF’s planning was never focused on countering the US. This is interesting, considering the fact that the PAF and the military in general have also engaged in propaganda regarding their ability to shoot down American drones. But if they cannot counter conventional airships like helicopters or even detect them, how can one expect them to shoot down drones?
Given the political government’s continuing distractions, the civil society’s divided emotions on how far to push the military, and the armed forces’ ability to turn the tide in its favour, one wonders if the system of decision-making on security issues will ever improve. It was just the other day that I happened to chat with a former army officer who was of the view that opinion within the army regarding its own sense of superiority and the need for civilians showing respect to their service chiefs and the services had not changed a bit. The average army officer may admit that something went wrong but would not tolerate the armed forces being questioned. Under the circumstances, an honest inquiry might never happen. Furthermore, the civilian government would have to be very intelligent in restructuring the security apparatus of the state in a way that they do not cross an imaginary redline which sets off the military into direct intervention. One wonders if the prime minister will be able to bring a change without a capable team around him dedicated to dealing with the security establishment. Unless there is accountability and transparency within the system, the imbalance in civil-military relations will continue and the all-powerful military will — like Caesar’s wife — remain above reproach.

This mustard based spicy fish curry is pretty much a default way of cooking fish curry in eastern region of India. The dish is pungent and spicy, so it may be an acquired taste. I absolutely love them.
Mix the mustard paste, remaining turmeric powder, salt and green chillies in 1 1/2 cups of hot water.
Add a few drops of mustard oil to the sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil in a saucepan and add the fried fish to it.
Simmer until fish is tender and sauce has thickened slightly. Add lemon juice. Take off the gas and garnish with coriander.

Getting a pay raise while sitting on the couch? Sign me up! Thanks Walgreens for another dividend increase!
On Thursday the Board of Directors at Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) gave shareholders a pay raise. The dividend was increased from $0.40 up to $0.44 per share per quarter. That's a solid 10.0% increase. Walgreens has grown their payout to shareholders for 42 consecutive years which gives them the title of Dividend Champion. Shares currently yield 2.95% based on the new annualized payout.
The new dividend will be paid out on September 12, 2018 to shareholders of record as of August 20th.
*The spikes in the dividend payout were in 1983 and 1985 when a $1 special dividend was paid out.
Walgreens' dividend growth history has been pretty phenomenal. Not many companies can grow their dividend payout for 42 consecutive years let alone be able to grow it above 10% per year over most 10 year periods.
Looking at the following chart it you can see that the late 1990's/early 2000's was a bit of a rough patch for Walgreens much like the last few years. However, with the big 10% increase that was just announced I hope that we can see a run on dividend growth similar to how dividend growth accelerated starting in 2002. Time will tell but I'd content if they can continue on with at least high single digit raises more often than not.
*2018's dividend assumes the new quarterly payout of $0.44 per share is maintained for the rest of the year.
This raise increased my forward dividends by $7.37 with me doing nothing. That's right, absolutely nothing to contribute to their operations. Based on my portfolio's current yield of 3.02% this raise is like I invested an extra $244 in capital. Except that I didn't! One of the companies I own just decided to send more cash my way.
Thus far in 2018 I've received 33 dividend increases from 31 of the companies in my FI Portfolio combining to increase my forward 12-month dividends by $304.04.
My FI Portfolio's forward-12 month dividends increased to $6,328.29. Including my FolioFirst portfolio's forward dividends of $82.62 brings my total taxable accounts dividends to $6,410.91. My Roth IRA's forward 12-month dividends are at $343.51.
Do you own Walgreens in your own portfolio?
Nice pickup here PIP! $7 without lifting a finger. Ah, dividend investing at its finest. I saw they made this announcement a little early, so I was pumped to see this news for everyone!
How do you follow each company close enough to know when an increase has been announced? Once I purchase the lot I sort of just ignore all the noise.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today requested that the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia thoroughly investigate potential civil and criminal violations of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (LDA) by Department of the Interior Secretary nominee David Bernhardt, as well as his former lobbying firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck (Brownstein).
Wyden’s request follows public reports that indicate Bernhardt may have engaged in lobbying activities, including multiple direct lobbying contacts, after deregistering as a lobbyist for Brownstein in November 2016.
A copy of Wyden’s letter to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie K. Lu can be found here.

Where are you now since being an AC4 scholarship recipient in 2011 and first-time attendee to IACM?
I earned my doctorate from Harvard Business School (HBS) this past May, and I am now an Assistant Professor at the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. My family and I just moved to New York City, and I am excited to attend IACM this year, especially since it’s walking distance from our new apartment!
How did the AC4 scholarship shape your IACM experience or research and work on management post-IACM?
The AC4 scholarship that I received in 2011 was pivotal in allowing me to attend the IACM conference, which was in Istanbul that year. I appreciate that the IACM conference is held in interesting locations; however, traveling outside of the United States is prohibitive as a graduate student, so the scholarship allowed me to attend when I otherwise would not have been able to.
As an AC4 recipient, I had the opportunity to present an early-stage research project and make valuable connections with students and faculty that sustained me throughout graduate school. The IACM conference is relatively small — at least compared to our large management conference — and I have been able to stay in touch with several of the people I met in 2011 and in subsequent years. While my research has evolved over time, I appreciate that IACM helps me stay more up to date with research on power, conflict, and negotiation.
Any advice for current first-time and/or prospective AC4 scholars/ IACM attendees?
Before you arrive, look through the list of speakers and attendees and identify a couple people it would be helpful for you to meet. If they are senior people, you might want to reach out to them before the conference to set up a time to chat. It’s a whirlwind of academic and social sessions, so you can easily run out of time if you don’t plan ahead or if you’re too ambitious. For me, meeting graduate students from different schools who share my interests has helped immensely–you see them year after year and they become your community and you can support and help each other through grad school and the job market. Don’t think of the conference as consisting just of the academic sessions; rather, join the dinners and impromptu gatherings since those are the places you really get to know people.

Tory MP Nick Boles is resigning from his local Conservative association after clashing with them over Brexit.
Mr Boles, who wants to remain as MP for Grantham and Stamford, has spoken out about leaving the EU with no deal.
Local activists had wanted to deselect him as their candidate in the next general election because of his stance.
In his letter, seen by the BBC, he said he was resigning with immediate effect and that a “division had opened up” between him and the local association.
He wrote: “I regret that my relationship with you should end in this way. But a politician without principles is worthless.
Mr Boles said he wanted to continue to “take the Conservative whip” at Westminster if it is offered “on acceptable terms” – meaning he would still vote with the party.
Councillor Martin Hill, vice president of the Grantham and Stamford Conservative Association, told members they had been “betrayed by their parliamentary representative” and called on him to take the “honourable course” and quit as an MP.
He said the process of selecting a new candidate would start at the group’s AGM later this month.
Chief Whip Julian Smith said Mr Boles was a “valued member of the Conservative parliamentary party which I hope will continue to benefit from his ideas and drive”.
His announcement comes after a busy week in Westminster, when MPs voted to seek a delay to the UK’s departure from the EU, due to take place on 29 March.
The third “meaningful vote” on Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal is expected to take place next week. If it is agreed, she has promised to seek a short extension to the departure date. But if it doesn’t gain support, she has warned a longer extension may be needed – and the UK might have to take part in European elections.
To find out how your MP voted this week, use the look-up below.
Mr Boles had voted in favour of extending Article 50 in the Commons this week, and in favour of Mrs May’s Brexit deal.
Mr Boles said he was “proud” of his role in the cross-party campaign to force Mrs May to request an extension to Article 50 beyond 29 March and block a no-deal Brexit.
“In securing substantial Commons majorities in favour of both propositions last week, I believe we have done the country a great service,” he added.
Mr Boles is keen on a closer Norway-style relationship with Europe after leaving the EU.
Meanwhile, pro-Brexit marchers, led by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, have begun a two-week journey from Sunderland to London.
About 100 people had assembled to start the march. They were joined by counter-protesters, including those from anti-Brexit campaign Led by Donkeys.
Mr Farage aims to walk 100 of the 270-mile March to Leave, which is due to arrive in the capital on 29 March.
Separately, shadow chancellor John McDonnell has said politicians will move “heaven and earth” to prevent the UK from leaving the EU without a deal.
Speaking before an event in Gravesend, Kent, Mr McDonnell said “quite a number” of MPs would be prepared to support a compromise deal, with the guarantee the deal goes back to the people for a final say on Brexit.
Any final say should not be on the deal Mrs May has agreed, “because it’s not credible”, he said.

Blazing summer can harm your skin by absorbing moisture and make it darker and harder. Intense UV rays and sun tanning are considered even more harmful for your skin especially in summer. Scorching heat causes extra sweating and your body loses fluid and moisture which later results into premature skin wrinkles, rashes, redness, and other skin problems.
Many people prefer to go in high tech spas and apply costly creams to get rid of the maximum effects of sun rays in summer. However, some people stick to the natural ways for skin care in summer, which are not too costly and anyone can perform at home as well.
During summer our body starts losing more and more water due to overheating and sweating. If we fail to maintain the require proportion of body fluid then it will cause dehydration.
Don’t get confused between dehydration and dryness. Dryness is the lack of oil in the body and dehydration is the lack of moisture in the skin. Dryness makes your skin ruff and scratchy, on the other hand dehydration makes your skin dull and dense.
Drink as much water and other healthy drinks as you can to keep the skin’s moisture in balance.
You can even regain loss water from juicy fruits, fresh salads and fruit juices as well. These are the best and healthy alternatives to water especially in summer.
Exfoliation is the process of removing old dead cells from the outermost surface of the skin. Although, it is a natural process and every weeks and months body automatically replaced dead cells and produce new skin cells which makes your skin smoother. However, natural exfoliation depends on your age because the natural process of removing dead cells usually tends to become slower in old age people in compare to adults.
For better skin care it would be much better if you go through the skin exfoliation treatment once in a week or month. It depends on you. Skin exfoliation can be achieved by mechanical as well as chemical means and thus overdo or bad choice of exfoliating agents can harm your skin.
Exfoliants with too much portion of pumice are considered harmful for dry skin.
Lemon contains good proportion of ascorbic acid which makes it one of the best natural bleaching agents that can easily bleach your tanned skin from face. It makes your skin glittering and glowing.
For better results, squeeze a lemon into a dish and apply it on your face and neck with a cotton ball. Remember, lemon tends to dry your skin and thus don’t forget to apply a healthy moisturizer or almond oil after washing off lemon.
Always use hats, sunglasses and full covered dresses to lessen the damaging effects of UV sun rays.
Wear loose cotton clothes which enables your skin to release trapped moisture which makes you feel relaxed.
We have seen many people taking hot showers throughout the year including summer season without knowing what damage they are making to their skin. Hot shower in summer can make your skin dry and increase the chances of getting tanned skin.
Thus, go for cool shower in summer and help your skin to maintain its moisture and freshness. It will also keep the skin hydrated.
Follow these summer skin care tips and keep your skin glowing and smooth.

The creation of an environment conducive to learning is vitally important in the academic achievement of learners. Such an environment extends beyond the classroom and school to include the home. It is from these environments that learners draw resources, both tangible and intangible, that impact on their educational experience. While current bodies of literature focus on either school or home resources, this paper looks at both. Multiple regression analyses were conducted on the 2011 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data to determine the resources factors that influence South African learners' performance in mathematics. The findings reveal that both school and home environments play significant roles in learners' mathematics performance. This paper therefore suggests that it is not only the socio-economic factors of schools that impact learners' mathematics performance, but also that higher levels of parental education have a significant positive influence.
South Africa is the highest-ranked emerging economy in Africa, and is one of the most sophisticated, diverse and promising emerging markets globally (SouthAfrica.info, 2013). The high levels of unemployment and inequality in the country are considered by the government and a majority of South Africans to be the most salient economic problems facing the country (OECD, 2013). Employment rates remain low and unemployment is excessively high, which exacerbates a range of social problems and tensions. One characteristic of this fundamental problem is that educational outcomes are both poor on average and also extremely uneven; problems which further contribute to the excess supply of unskilled labour as well as to worsening income inequality (OECD, 2013).
The South African National Development Plan (NDP), as part of its Vision for 2030 (National Planning Commission, 2012), emphasises the importance of improved educational quality and outcomes in South Africa. It is expected that better educational outcomes will lead to higher employment and earnings, while more rapid economic growth will broaden opportunities for all and generate the resources required to improve education.
In the current highly technological economic world, mathematics education and mathematics performance are key resources in global competition (Carnevale, 2005). It is thus concerning that the TIMSS found average mathematics performance of South African learners in Grade Nine to be well below the international benchmark of 500 points (Mullis, Martin, Foy & Arora, 2012). Learners achieved an average score of 352 out of a possible 1,000 points. In fact, the country was placed in the bottom six of 63 participating countries in terms of mathematics performance. Towards the mission of improving mathematics performance, policy makers need to know what factors are currently influencing learner performance, as well as how strong those factors are.
1) Which home resource factors have a significant effect on learners' mathematics performance in South Africa?
2) Which school resource factors have a significant effect on learners' mathematics performance in South Africa?
3) Was mathematics performance affected more by the availability of home environment resources or by school environment resources?
The paper is presented in four parts. The first part provides some background on the investigation undertaken into the available literature. The methodological approach is then discussed, followed by the presentation of findings. The paper concludes by discussing the findings with specific reference to their implications.
The consensus amongst South African studies is that the availability or scarcity of key school resources impacts educational outcomes, with higher levels of resources being linked to better educational outcomes. Economists reveal that the socio-economic status of a school has significant impact on learners' performance (Spaull, 2013; Van der Berg, 2008). In their findings, they highlight that school socio-economic status influences performance.
Whereas individual learners with higher socioeconomic status perform poorly in poor schools, poor learners attending affluent schools improve in reading and mathematics. Spaull (2011, 2013) goes further in identifying the two kinds of school the system has, that is - wealthy functional schools and poor dysfunctional schools - and the roles they play in providing quality education to learners. These findings suggest that poorly resourced schools also have teachers with poor qualifications, while better-resourced schools are able to attract good quality teachers with higher qualifications. Sayed and Ahmed (2011) state that the South African education system is challenged by equity issues, diverse needs, as well as the challenges of meeting rights for fair education involvement and quality provision of education services. Mbugua, Kibet, Muthaa and Nkonke (2012) support the latter findings, by highlighting school factors as being highly influential in mathematics performance of Kenyan learners. In their findings, overcrowding and insufficient teaching materials were both found to impact on academic performance.
Howie's (2003) findings on factors that influence South African learners' mathematics performance in TIMSS 1999 proved socio-economic status to have less of an effect than home language and class size. However, according to Hattie (2009), class size has a close-to-zero effect on achievement. We argue that Howie's (2003) findings on class size were influenced by apartheid era education policies, which allocated higher resources to schools for white learners. However, since 1999, the socio-economics status gap has changed, and hence, for the purposes of this paper, resources from home and school are both important variables included to determine the influence of socioeconomic status on mathematics performance.
Another factor that makes this context unique, and that has a significant role in mathematics performance among South African learners, is the language of teaching and learning when this is different from the home language (Howie, 2003). These studies reveal that learners perform better if the language of learning and teaching is the same as the language spoken at home. With South Africa being a multilingual country, this variable needs to be acknowledged in practice for the benefit of the learners. Unfortunately the socio-economic differences in the South African education system are strongly connected to ethnicity, and gender (Wabiri & Taffa, 2013).
Literature relating to the effect of home resources on academic achievement has highlighted a number of factors including parental education, parental income, and parental occupation (Sirin, 2005).
Thus, parental socio-economic status plays a significant role in influencing mathematics performance. The findings of Okpala, Okpala and Smith (2001) support the results of Sirin's (2005) meta-analysis, which indicates that home socioeconomic status is associated with achievement. A study that seems to challenge these findings explores the relationship between learners' home socio-economic background and their mathematics performance in Nigeria. It reveals that, regardless of socio-economic background, the majority of the students were of average academic ability in mathematics (Olatunde, 2010). The challenge with this latter study is that only frequencies were used to look at the relationships - a method that cannot provide a rigorous statistical assessment of relationships. For this reason, this paper cannot use these findings to support any argument. We therefore conclude that the literature supports the assertion that home factors do indeed influence learner performance.
Data for this paper was sourced from the TIMSS 2011 study conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). TIMSS was first conducted in 1995 and the study has been repeated every fourth year since then. South Africa took part in 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2011.
From the population of 10,085 South African schools that offered Grade Nine classes in 2011, a stratified random sample of 298 schools was selected by the IEA Data Processing and Research Centre. The sample was stratified by province, language of instruction (Afrikaans, English, or dual medium - both Afrikaans and English) and type of school (independent, public-and-not-Dinaledi,1 public-and-Dinaledi). A further random selection process of classes was applied for each sampled school after which intact classes participated in the survey. A total of 11,969 Grade Nine learners participated in the 2011 TIMSS study for South Africa.
One of the consequences of TIMSS' ambitious reporting goals is that more questions are required for the assessment than can be answered by any one learner in the amount of testing time available (Mullis, Martin, Ruddock, O'Sullivan & Preuschoff, 2009). TIMSS 2011 used a matrix-sampling approach to package the entire assessment pool of mathematics and science items into a set of 14 booklets. The booklets were assembled from various combinations of these items. Each learner completed only one booklet. To summarise the achievement results on a common scale with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100, TIMSS 2011 used item response theory (IRT) methods. The TIMSS IRT scaling approach used "plausible values" methodology to obtain achievement scores in mathematics for all learners. This was necessary as it was not feasible for each learner to answer every item, thus each learner responded to only a part of the assessment item pool. Achievement scores were calculated out of a possible 1,000 scale points.
The achievement tests represented the curricula of the participating countries. The process of ensuring non-biased testing included modifying specifications in accordance with data from curriculum analysis and piloting of the instruments.
The data analysis for this paper was done with SPSS version 20 and the IEA International Database (IDB) Analyzer (Version 3.1.17), which is a plug-in for SPSS developed by the IEA Data Processing and Research Centre (IEA-DPC). The IDB Analyzer (Version 3.1.17) is developed to analyse data from IEA surveys that use a complex sample design and make use of plausible value technology (IEA, 2012; Neuschmidt, 2007).
The data was subjected to exploratory and inferential data analysis. Cluster robust multiple regression analysis (Strehl & Ghosh, 2002) was used to investigate the effects that exposure to certain selected home and school resources had on the performance of Grade Nine learners in mathematics. The aim was to identify and investigate the quantitative effect of independent variables upon mathematics performance as the dependent variable. The selected independent variables, their origin and the methods and procedures with which they were derived are provided in the Appendix. Statistics such as frequencies, mean scores, minimum and maximum values of each item is also provided as a source of reference.
A number of regression models were prepared for the purpose of searching for the best model. By using the "Enter" method, three multiple regression analyses were conducted to address the three research questions of the paper. The multiple regression analysis on the effects of home resources addressed the first research question; the multiple regression analysis on school resources relates to the second research question; and the third multiple regression analysis testing which of the two sets of independent variables (home or school resources) had the highest effect on learners' mathematics performance, addressed the third research question.
In this section, the main findings of the research are presented. Findings on the regression analyses are ordered by home resources first, then by school resources and, lastly, by the effects of both home and school resources.
The results of the regression analysis, which included home resource measures as predictors, are depicted in Table 1, and indicate that the selected home resource variables accounted for 30.0% of the variance in the mathematics scores (R2 = .30, Adjusted R2 = .30, p<.01). Similarly, the results of the regression analysis on school resource measures as predictors are presented in Table 2, and indicate that the selected school resource variables accounted for 21.0% of the variance in mathematics performance (R2 = .21, Adjusted R2 = .21, p<.01). The results of the final regression analysis, in which both home and school resource predictors were included, are presented in Table 3, which shows that 38.0% of the variance in mathematics performance was explained by these variables (R2 = .38, Adjusted R2 = .38, p<.01).
It is evident from the results reflected in Table 1 that all independent home resource variables significantly contributed to the dependent variable. It is furthermore clear that (in order of having the highest to lowest effect on performance) the effect of: having more assets at home (HOMEASSET)(β = .30, p<.01), using the language most frequently spoken at home in the test (BSBG03)(β = .22, p<.01), and having a parent with higher qualifications than Grade 12 (matric) (PARENTQUAL_PM)(β = .11, p<.01) had a positive effect on learners mathematical results. The number of books at home also positively affected mathematics performance (BSBG04)(β = .07, p<.01), while parental involvement in learners' homework from school negatively impacted on mathematics performance (PARENTINVOLV)(β = -.13, p<.01).
There was, on average, a 42 point difference (BSBG03)(β = 41.85, p<.01) between the results of learners who spoke the language of the test always, or almost always, at home, and the group of learners who spoke the test language sometimes or never at home. It was also found that learners performed, on average 10 points better for each additional asset at home (HOMEASSET)(β = 10.42, p<.01). Learners with parents who had qualifications higher than Grade 12 (post-matric qualifications) performed, on average, 21 points higher than learners whose parents' highest qualification was Grade 12 or lower (PARENTQUAL_PM)(β = 20.51, p<.01).
Table 2 presents the results of the regression analysis on the effects of school resources on mathematics performance.
The multiple regression analysis on school resources showed that the effects of instruction based on (or supplemented with) textbooks (BTBM20A_B, BTBM20A_S), workbooks or worksheets (BTBM20B_B, BTBM20B_S) and instruction supplemented by concrete objects (BTBM20C_S) were not statistically significant. The results also revealed (in order of having the highest to lowest effect) that the condition of the school building (BTBG08A)(β = .20, p<.01), the class size (BTBG12)(β = -.18, p<.01), and the capacity of the school to provide instruction (where this was affected by a shortage or inadequacy of resources) (BCBGMRS)(β = .17, p<.01) had the highest effect on learners' mathematics performance.
The condition of the school building (BTBG08A) contributed significantly and positively to learners' mathematics performance (β = .20, p<.01). The analysis revealed that learners who attended schools where the building needed minor or no repairs performed, on average, 35 points better than learners who attended schools with moderate to serious building problems (BTBG08A)(β = 35.06, p<.01).
Class size (BTBG12) also played a major role in the mathematics scores. It was found that, for each learner added to a class, the average score of the class dropped by one point (BTBG12)β = -.87 p<.01). Of all the school resource variables, class size negatively contributed the second highest portion after the variable on the condition of the school buildings, which had a positive effect.
The effect on the learners' mathematics performance of the school's capacity to provide instruction (BCBGMRS) (where this was affected by a shortage or inadequacy of general school and mathematical resources) was significant, and positive (β = 9.07, p<.01). The results showed that for each unit increase on the index scale learners performed, on average, nine points better.
Having computers for the purposes of instruction of Grade 9 learners at the school (BCBG07) positively affected learner achievement in mathematics (β = .10, p<.05). A further contributing predictor of higher scores was teachers' utilisation of computer software as basis for or as supplement to mathematics instruction (BTBM20D_B)(β = .13 p<.01) and (BTBM20D_S) (β = .14, p<.01), respectively.
The final model tested the effects of both home and school resources simultaneously in a regression analysis as presented in Table 3. The analysis shows that the number of home assets present in learners' homes had the highest positive effect on mathematics performance (HOMEASSET)(β = .24 p<.01). It was found that for each additional asset in a learner's home, the learner scored, on average, 8 points higher in mathematics (HOMEASSET)(β = 8.24 p<.01).
The second most important predictor of mathematics performance was the language most often spoken at home (BSBG03)(β = .17 p<.01). The data analysis suggests that learners who used the language most frequently spoken at home in the test, scored on average 32 points higher than learners who spoke the language of the test only sometimes or never at their homes (BSBG03)(β = 32.43 p<.01).
The third most important predictor of mathematics performance was the condition of the school building (BTBG08A)(β = .12 p<.01). Learners who attended schools with minor or no problems with the building performed, on average, 21 points higher than learners who attended schools with moderate to serious problems with their school buildings (BTBG08A)(β = 20.56 p<.01).
With regard to Table 3, the finding on the involvement of parents in learners' school homework at home was surprisingly negative (PARENTINVOLV)(β = -10.43 p<.01). This finding could be related to the highest level of qualification of either parent. Further investigation is needed. Additionally, as expected, larger class sizes had a negative effect on mathematics performance (BTBG12)(β = -.50 p<.05). Interestingly, by comparing the regression analyses -which included home resources only with the analysis on both home and school resources - it was found that the effect on mathematics performance of either parent having a qualification higher than Grade 12,was reduced in the combined model (PARENTQUAL_PM)(β = 20.51 p<.01) and (β = 15.76 p<.01), respectively. In the combined model, learners who had a parent with qualifications higher than Grade 12 performed on average 16 points higher than learners with parents with lower qualifications.
The aim of this paper was to investigate home and school environments of learners and the effects that these environments have on mathematics performance. By first isolating the home environment, it was found that learners from higher socio-economic backgrounds, who spoke the language of the test at home, and had one parent with at least a Grade 12 education qualification performed better in mathematics. When examining the effects of the school environment, it was noted that the condition of the school buildings and the availability of general school and mathematics resources had a positive effect and the sizes of classes had a negative effect. Taking the analysis one step further, the school and home environment measures were considered in unison, so as to determine the strongest effect on achievement. These findings showed that the socio-economic backgrounds of learners and the language that they spoke at home were the two most influential factors (home environment), followed by the condition of school infrastructure (school environment).
The predictors of TIMSS mathematics performance in South Africa have changed since 1999. Howie's (2003) study on the TIMSS 1999 data revealed that home language and class size had the most significant effects on mathematics performance. Furthermore, Van der Berg (2008) states that overcrowded and under-resourced classrooms had the strongest negative impact on learning outcomes, whereas this study - based on TIMSS 2011 data - revealed that no longer to be the case. These findings also contradict those found by Olatunde (2010), who found no relationship between socioeconomic background and mathematics ability.
The findings of this paper have far-reaching implications, in particular for policy makers and teachers. Interventions that aim to increase mathematics performance cannot be solely aimed at the school level. The findings point to a need to consider the home environment from which the learner originates. This may point to the need for interventions that compensate for the lack of home resources at the school level. Here, mathematics teachers must be made aware of the effect of these factors on the achievement of their learners in order to compensate for any deficiencies. In addition, policies regarding language as a resource for learning demand rigorous research that will focus on using home language as an enriching tool rather than just one of the subjects to be taught at school.
1. Dinaledi schools are public schools selected by the national Department of Basic Education. These schools have exhibited the potential to perform well and therefore could increase Higher Grade Mathematics participation and performance. The schools received additional facilities, equipment and support for effective mathematics and science teaching and learning.
The sets of variables selected for inclusion in the regression analyses for this study are provided below.
The selected home resource variables were all taken from the learner questionnaire and included the following (cf. Tables A1 and A2): BSBG03 (how often the language of the test has been spoken at the learner's home); BSBG04 (the number of books at home); HOMEASSET (the number of home assets such as a fridge, television, own room, computer, internet connection, etc.); PARENTQUAL_MP (this variable indicates if the highest qualification of either parent was equal to Grade 12 (Matric) or higher: MP = Matric Plus) and PARENTQUAL_PM (if the highest qualification of either parent was higher than Grade 12 (Matric): PM = Post-Matric); and PARENTINVOLV (a measure of parental involvement in school homework at home).
The variable HOMEASSET was generated from learners' responses to 18 listed assets in the learner questionnaire. Learners were asked to indicate whether each of the listed assets was present at their homes (dichotomous variables -yes/no response). Frequency analysis was done on the responses to each listed asset. Missing values ranged from 2.3% to 7.1% across all assets. The variable HOMEASSET was generated by adding the responses of all assets where the number of positive responses was less than 75%. Put differently, if a specific asset was present in 75% or more of the learners' homes it was excluded from the newly generated variable. Ten of the eighteen assets were included in the newly developed variable.
My parents check if I do my homework.
The PCA extracted a unidimensional (onedimensional) component named as PARENTINVOLV, with reliable internal consistency (four items; Cronbach's Alpha: α=0.76) and which explains 58% of the variance in the sample (cf. Table A3).
A set of variables from the mathematics teacher questionnaire and the school questionnaire was used for school resource variables (cf. Tables A4 and A5). The variables included: BTBG12 (the number of learners per class), BCBG07 (the number of computers available for mathematics instruction), BTBG08A (school building needs significant repair), BTBM20A (use of textbooks), BTBM20B (use of workbooks), BTBM20C (use of concrete objects or materials), and BTBM20D (the availability of computer software for mathematics instruction). The four latter variables were further disaggregated into resources used as basis of instruction (with a postfix of _B) and resources used as a supplement (with a postfix of _S).
Another variable included in the regression model was an index called BCBGMRS (Index on instruction affected by resource shortages) which was developed by the IEA from principals' responses to twelve questions in the school questionnaire. The questions investigated how the capacity of the school to provide instruction was affected by shortages of six general school resources and six mathematics-specific resources. High values of above 11.1 on the index indicate that the instruction at the school has not been affected while values of below 7.3 on the index indicate that instruction at the school has been severely affected by resource shortages.
Tables A4 and A5 provide lists and descriptive statistics of all independent variables on school resources selected and used in a regression model with mathematics performance as the dependent variable.

When someone says "it's in your genes," they are often referring to the way you look or how you act. But genes also play a critical role in our health. Hereditary diseases, also known as genetic disorders or inherited conditions, are caused by a passed genetic abnormality or mutation from one generation to the next.
If an inherited condition, such as heart disease, Huntington's disease, cancer, or mental illness, runs in your family, it doesn't always mean you'll develop that condition or pass it down to your children. However, it's important to have the possibility on your radar.
Although it's instinctual to protect your children from unsettling news, they need to know if a genetic disorder runs in your family so they can learn how to live with it. But when should you talk to them? How do you let them know it's something they should think about without letting it define who they are?
Deciding when to talk to your child about a genetic condition in the family can be difficult. The conversation takes courage. Your child may have a genetic condition that is affecting them or will affect them, or your child may be at risk of inheriting a genetic condition. Either way, the approach is similar.
It's normal to think you'll do more harm than good by telling your child, especially if you don't feel comfortable with your own level of understanding. Keep in mind, they may appreciate hearing about it sooner from you rather than finding out later from someone else. Although a younger child's understanding may be limited, they are generally more accepting. If you wait to tell them until they're older, they may be upset to learn you withheld the information.
It's helpful to ensure your child will be engaged in the conversation. You can begin by saying, "I want you to know more about a disease we have in our family. Do you want to talk about it?" If your child says no, ask if they'd rather talk with someone else, such as another family member or a doctor.
If your child agrees to the conversation, allow questions to guide you. Hereditary diseases are complex and confusing. Make sure you tailor your approach to your child's level of understanding. Younger children learn gradually, so provide small amounts of digestible information and room for questions. If you don't have an answer, don't be afraid to say "I don't know." If necessary, seek the advice of a genetic counselor.
Check in to make sure your child understands what you're saying.
Have an ongoing discussion rather than one conversation.
Encourage open discussion where your child can ask questions at any time.
Books can introduce young readers to hereditary diseases through a character who has a condition.
"Wonder" by R.J. Palacio shares the story of Auggie. He has an autosomal dominant condition called Treacher Collins syndrome, which is most often caused by an abnormal gene or mutation. Neither of Auggie's parents are affected, but if Auggie has children, they would have a 50-percent chance of inheriting the syndrome. The story focuses on the impact Auggie's condition has on him and those around him.
"Born that Way" by Susan Ketchen introduces animal lovers to genetics. Fourteen-year-old Sylvia is diagnosed with Turner's syndrome, a condition in which a female inherits one X chromosome. The story illustrates how Turner's syndrome can affect a teenage girl who happens to be crazy about horses.
In "Double Helix" by Nancy Werlin, an 18-year-old boy is faced with adult decisions. Eli's mom has Huntington's disease, and he has to decide if he wants genetic testing to find if he'll be affected, too.
You can suggest these stories, or other books, to your child or read them together.
Remember, children are often focused on school, friendships, and their own personal interests, so their response to a genetic risk may not be monumental. As adults, we tend to worry about the future, and kids tend to live in the moment. Keep the discussion open so they can come to you with any questions as they arise.

Mumbai: Indian economy ranks 30-rank to break into the top 100 countries in the World. Bank’s ‘ease of doing business’ list, has finally brought respite to the Narendra Modi-led government, from the barrage of criticism over the slowing growth.
It is saying that, this ranking gain very good news for an economy and a government fighting a three-year low GDP numbers, a precarious trend in inflation, teething problems of a tax reform.
So what is it that helped India to climb up the ladder without such worrying economic indicators?
The World Bank says, the circumstances that support improvement in 2016-17 were – faster to start a business, reduction in the procedures and time required to in obtaining a building permit, easier access to credit, protecting minority investors, the ease of paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and easier resolve problems. In the ‘Distance to Frontier Metric’ section, India’s score went up from 56.05 in Doing business in 2017 to 60.76 in Doing business in 2018.
Until 2016, took 164 days in Mumbai and 213 in Delhi to give a construction permit. The whole procedure was also not digital then. Government officials in July said that the process for granting permits had been eased and now it takes only 60 days to get a construction permit in Delhi and Mumbai.
India ranks155 among 190 countries last year on this parameter. In June, the government informed the World Bank that processes involved in starting a business had been reduced from 14 to5.
Employee provident fund has been moved online, bank accounts are not mandatory for any forms – this way many works are made easy.

Put it down to weird-word mind glut. I admit to confusion. And if you are like me, Toyota and Nissan have a problem with their blockbuster entries in the luxury-car sweepstakes.
I have immersed myself in the two cars and still have to think twice before I know that Nissan makes Lexus and Toyota makes Infiniti, or vice versa.
Vice versa wins (I stopped to think), but the befuddlement over names may be the only serious difficulty that Toyota has with its new Lexus.
Several weeks ago I was in love with Infiniti and now my fickle heart has been won by the only serious competition. When you get behind the wheel of a Lexus you can pretty much forget everything else in the luxury class.
You can certainly pay more, and you can maybe get a ''better'' car in the BMW 7-series. You can have more oohs and ahhs and fingerprints on the paint with a Rolls or a Bentley Turbo. But nobody else is offering a steal quite like the Toyota Lexus LS 400, which has a base sticker of $35,000 and will cost about $40,000 by the time you get it home.
Yes, that is a lot of money. But these are the days of $20,000 Hondas, $25,000 Fords and $28,000 Oldsmobiles, and the 40 big ones are well spent if you are in the market for an automotive bargain.
First off, there is the technology. The car has an all-aluminum V8 that is so quiet you will try to start it when it is already running. The transmission is a four-speed overdrive automatic that is among the smoothest ever. And then there is Traction Control, which means the rear wheels never spin, despite the engine's oomph.
Traction Control acts like a limited-slip differential, but better. It uses the car's standard antilock brake system, in tandem with an engine computer that closes a throttle valve to reduce power when wheel spin is imminent.
The engine itself is a masterpiece, with four cams and 32 valves. Its 4 liters develop 250 horsepower, a bit less than Nissan's Infiniti, but it moves the 3,759-pound sedan from zero to 60 in about eight seconds, and top speed is rated by the factory at 150 miles an hour.
Even with that kind of performance though, the sophisticated power plant delivers fuel economy on the order of 17 miles a gallon, city, and 23, highway. Because of the V8's high (10-to-1) compression ratio, you'll have to pull up to the premium pump, and a fill-up will take 22.5 gallons. Given the car's range, the good news is that you won't have to make the visit very often.
Two suspension systems are offered, with the option of coil springs or air bladders. The air springs are a version of Toyota's ''FXV-II'' concept-car suspension system, and a change in driving conditions creates an automatic adjustment to minimize roll, dive and squat. The system also compensates for rough roads, reducing bounce and pitch. And it lowers the car at high speeds for better aerodynamics.
Even without that, the aerodynamics are as good as any in the business. The Lexus has a conservatively beautiful body whose rounded contours produce a coefficent of drag of only .29. And the interior is the exterior's equal.
Toyota has taken bits and pieces from hither and yon, and the car has almost everything. What it doesn't have is the four-wheel steering offered by Infiniti, and if you need to turn on a dime then you ought to buy Nissan. Otherwise, Toyota has it all, from power headrests to a flat emergency key for your newly depleted wallet.
Leather costs $1,400, and Traction Control will be another $900. A 140-watt Pioneer sound system, which features a six-disk CD changer in the low-liftover trunk, is the basic audio equipment, but you can get a 220-watt Nakamichi system if you really want to one-up the world.
Another nice interior feature is the computer that memorizes preferred positions for the driver's seat, the sideview mirrors, the adjustable seat-belt anchor and the wheel, which courteously moves up and out of the way when you remove the ignition key.
The leather-wrapped wheel also has power controls to make it tilt and telescope. Maybe the best thing about the wheel, though, is the horn, which is proper and safe. Unlike all the other cars with airbags in the hub of the wheel, there are no tiny and hard-to-find buttons. Toyota has found a way to make the entire hub serve as the button.
And then there is the dashboard, as good looking as any I've seen. The instrument panel uses lighted white needles and white digits behind smoked glass. The analog gauges are complimented by warning lights as usual, but this time the lights are projected onto the smoked glass to catch the driver's attention, a nice piece of technology that imparts a three-dimensional feel.
Among the gauges is a 160-m.p.h. speedometer, and Toyota says each car is tested at something more than 100 m.p.h. before it goes into the showroom. The point, the company adds, is that capability at such speeds translates into superb performance in the low and mid-ranges.
Neither Lexus nor Infiniti has any trouble achieving speeds that will irritate the troopers, but there is a very different feel to the two sedans.
Infiniti is stiffer, more like Mercedes. Lexus is silkier. But both are super cars and the price is much the same. You just have to remember which is which.

The director-general of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, has hinted that the council would soon roll out a Golf Culture, after it has instituted regular sporting activities for its staff.
According to Runsewe, the tournament would drive cultural values in Nigeria, as it would exhibit the country’s cultural approach to the game.
He added that the council was also thinking of how to incorporate children into the sport, to enable them understand Nigeria’s culture and create job opportunities for the nation’s teeming youths.
“Soon, the first cultural approach to the game of golf will come up in Nigeria. We are working on it and we hope to incorporate some kid golfers. It is an event related to culture.
Basically, my vision is that any cultural approach we initiate should result in the creation of jobs for Nigerians. Culture is all about sports and we need all these in our upcoming event.
“Unfortunately, most times, we tend to give more focus and interest to football. I have always said it, like I did during a tour in 2012, that if Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal play today, they would not make one-third of the appearance fee of renowned golfer, Tiger wood.
The enthusiastic amateur golfer also echoed the need for Nigeria to join South Africa and Zimbabwe by tapping from the $6billion fortune realizable by Africa from golf business in 2020, saying that the global revenue in sports was massive.
“By 2020 there would be $6billion fortune in golf globally. Only two African countries, South Africa and Zimbabwe have keyed into it. I want to key Nigeria into that by talking to major golf brands for them to come here and change our sporting profile.
“For instance, if Tiger Woods appears to play golf now in any major tournament, the returns would, probably, be greater than the revenue generated by Manchester United and Chelsea,” he said.

Today seems a rather inauspicious date in history by Chinese reckoning, given that the number 4 (which sounds like death) appears twice. Supporters of Chiang Kai-Shek might have found it so, as the man that had dominated headlines in China for half a century expired on this date on April 4th, 1975.
I allude in my title to an excellent work of historical fiction entitled "Across Five Aprils,", about the experience of one family divided by the American Civil War. Perhaps also apropos for the battle of civil liberties left very much unfinished by that conflict, and that had to wait until the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s; today after all, was the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, as all you U2 fans should remember.
...3. Lo A-hoi, a carpenter, was on the 31st March convicted of attempting to use a certificate of registration belonging to another person, whilst offering himself as security for a prisoner at the Magistracy, and fined $10 or twenty-one days' imprisonment in default.
4. Ho A-wan, a widow, was convicted on the 1st April of exposing the dead body of a female child at a timber shed in Second Street. [my car mechanic's garage is there now! - Ed.] The Magistrate fined her $20 or seven days' imprisonment with hard labour.
5. Fong A-yat, an accountant of the "Fau-On" pawnshop at Wellington Street, was convicted on the 1st instant [April-Ed.] of having in his possession a quantity of prepared opium without a permit from the Opium Farmer. He was fined $200 or three months' imprisonment with hard labour and the whole of the opium and utensils seized, together with a moiety of the fine, if paid, were declared by the Magistrate as forfeited to the Opium Farmer [The person or company that had bought the monopoly license from the government that year to exclusively vend opium to retailers].
6. Lau A-him, a mat-packer, was on the 4th instant convicted of having in his possession a tin of prepared opium without a permit from the Opium Farmer, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $50, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for four weeks with hard labour. The opium found was ordered to be confiscated and delivered to the Opium Farmer.
8. Tang Wan-hing, master of the "Hang-mau-I-ki" chandlery, was convicted on the 1st instant of giving a receipt for a sum of money exceeding $10 without affixing a receipt stamp to it, and fined $10 or twenty-one days' imprisonment.
9. Fung A-po, an old offender, wo had been several tims in Gaol and finally banished, [he was probably branded - Ed.] was charged with returning to the Colony ebfore the expiry of the term of his banishment. The Magistrate sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour, on the 3rd instant.
10. Sham A-wai, proprietor of the 'Tai-shing' shop was summoned at the instance of the Inspector of Markets for keeping kerosine oil in his shop in contravention of section XI of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1873. He admitted the offence, but pleaded ignorance of the law. The Magistrate inflicted a fine of $50 in this instance, and told the Defendant that he was liable under the Ordinance to a penalty of $100 a day for each day during which the oil was so kept.

Virgin Voyages has released designs and images of its RockStar Suites. The new, adults-only cruise brand says it is striving to bring "Rebellious Luxe" to life at sea with its RockStar Suites, which are designed by Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio.
Highlights of the Massive Suite, the top suite aboard the Scarlet Lady, include its very own guitar-clad music room, views of the ocean from every corner of the suite, and a terrace complete with its own Peek-a-View outdoor shower, hot tub, hammocks and a runway outdoor dining table.
Inspired by mega yachts and rock and roll style icons like Grace Jones, the RockStar Suites feature Tom Dixon’s retro-futurism designs with a palette of deep blues used with iridescent dichroic elements to echo the colors of the sky and sea when sailing. Touches of yacht materiality are sprinkled throughout the suites with real leather finishes, marble-clad bathrooms and Terrazzo flooring. The suite’s design also incorporates nautical nods with a brass glam station and accenting beauty counter and bedhead lighting. Each suite is equipped with a vinyl turntable.
All suites are configured to maximize the view of the ocean. Many of the ship’s suites have a Peek-a-Boo shower, an all-marble shower with a dichroic glass window carved in the center. Rockstars who opt for the ship’s top Mega RockStar Suites, can bathe under the sun or stars with their very own Peek-a-View outdoor shower.
The sea terrace for each suite will have a specially designed champagne table able to fit an ice bucket at the center next to loungers, as well as Yellow Leaf brand, sustainably sourced terrace hammocks.
In terms of perks, RockStar Suites guests will be able to enjoy early access to onboard entertainment, restaurants, Shore Things, a private transfer to and from the ship in Miami and an exclusive express VIP pathway to the ship during embarkation. RockStar Suites Sailors will have their own wardrobe team to help unpack and repack, complimentary pressing service and nightly express swimsuit drying service.
In "Rebellious Luxe" fashion, Virgin Voyages has reimagined the mini-bar for its rock stars; instead, suites will have a full bar and cocktail kit, with the first round on the house.
All RockStar Suite guests will have access to Richard's Rooftop, their very own private members' club.
All suites have mood lighting that automatically adjusts to match the time of day and in-room tablets that allow travelers to adjust the room’s lighting. Travelers will get premium linens and a European king bed in every suite, as well as upgraded bath amenities for pampering.
Sailors can opt for one of the Scarlet Lady’s Mega RockStar Suites on deck 15. Virgin Voyages says Mega RockStar Suites will receive a personalized bar filled with their favorites, and the RockStar Services Crew will tend to their "rockstar rider list," digging up whatever they desire -- all red gummy bears, an electric guitar and beyond. With only 78 RockStar Suites aboard the Scarlet Lady, among them are 15 Mega RockStar Suites, named the Massive Suites, Fab Suites, Posh Suites and Gorgeous Suites.
There are only two Massive Suites aboard the Scarlet Lady, each sitting atop the ship’s bridge. These 2,147-square-foot suites have their own music rooms, which double as an extra bedroom and are stocked with guitars and an amplifier. At the center of the Massive Suite is a circular couch set up for conversation and cocktails from the suite’s adjacent in-room bar. The suite’s bath and dressing room area are complete with a hot tub, vanity area, two full-sized wardrobes and a marble-clad bathroom with a Peek-a-Boo shower area that overlooks the bedroom and out to the ocean. The Massive Suite’s terrace will be where friends and family can experience a private hot tub, a Peek-a-View outdoor shower, a circular conversation pit, a lookout point with loungers and two full-length hammocks. Sailors in the Massive Suite can climb a staircase to the top of the runway outdoor table for dining and dancing.

Absolutely beautiful cushion ideal for the centre piece of my grey corner sofa. Fantastic quality and will buy other colours for my bedroom.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CUSHION! The perfect shade of pink for a not so girly-girl who wanted something to soften a dark blue painted room. Very grown-up and luxurious to look at, so pleased I went for it after much umming and ahhing. Get loads of compliments whenever people visit the house. Now obsessed with all things Broste !
This plush velvet bedspread from Broste Copenhagen is a luxurious piece and a beautiful addition to any beds. This particular shade is beautiful soft green.

We were able to register yet another great success in January 2019.
With the support of NX-FOOD, Moving Mountains, a British brand of plant-based burgers was introduced to two What’s Beef burger restaurants in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt. Another great step into the future of food.
The objective: to reduce meat consumption to a “healthy level”, which helps the environment and at the same time support the use of alternative protein sources. Tapping into this trend, the Düsseldorf-based burger restaurant “What’s Beef” has teamed up with the British food company Moving Mountains and is launching a new meat alternative in its branches today. The burger is made from 100% plant-based ingredients, yet tastes convincingly similar to a beef patty. NX-FOOD paved the way for these 2 partners to work together. “For us, our customers’ success is paramount. Therefore, we also mobilise our global food network to achieve this,” said Fabio Ziemßen, Director Food Innovation at NX-FOOD.
Each burger sold by “What’s Beef” contains 25 g of vegetable protein, is vegan and free from antibiotics and hormones. The ingredients of the Moving Mountains burger are oyster mushrooms, pea, wheat and soy proteins, as well as oats. Beetroot juice creates an authentic “bleed” and the addition of vitamin B12 makes the burger a source of essential nutrients. “Scientists, chefs and farmers invested more than 3 years in developing our burger, which is the closest replica of meat in the UK. Our burger looks like meat, smells like meat, but is made 100% from plant-based sources. Its manufacture requires significantly less land and water and gives rise to fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional meat production. NX-FOOD recommended ‘What’s Beef’ as our partner for the German launch and he was absolutely spot on. It’s a great venue with excellent burger serves, Selim, the founder of ‘What’s Beef’, has a real passion for serving great tasting food and has done a superb job with the Moving Mountains Burger serve,” added Simeon Van der Molen, founder of Moving Mountains.

System 800 unites organic shapes with puristic design. Harmonious radii and clear lines characterise the accessories. System 800 is the perfect combination of clarity, emotionality and function. The modular structure of the sanitary system opens up diverse possible combinations, so that the bathroom can be designed completely to individual wishes. System 800 includes accessories for the washbasin, toilet and shower as well as accessibility products. The System 800 accessibility products are matched to the user – they are ergonomically designed, provide secure grip and reliable support. They make the bathroom even more comfortable and convenient.
The award-winning design of System 800 not only impresses with its visual design but also thanks to its well thought-through functional product details. The sanitary system offers solutions for the washbasin, WC area as well as the shower and bath, from Comfort to Care.
Large radii and harmonious lines characterise System 800. System 800 K was developed on the basis of these design elements. The System 800 material variant is made of high-quality polyamide.
Design options enable a wide range of uses for System 800. The System 800 holder elements and brackets have high-quality chrome-plated finish. These can be combined with inserts made of white polyamide or satin-finish crystal glass.
The deliberate use of colour in System 800 K is not only for design reasons but also to fulfil functional criteria. Coloured elements (optionally in orange, apple green, anthracite grey or ruby red) set fresh accentuation and facilitate orientation and intuitive use of the products.
One design, based on large radi, high-quality materials and intuitive usability in line with universal design criteria, characterises both the sanitary System 800 and the hardware Range 260. System 800 can also be combined with HEWI universal products and freestanding accessories.
As freestanding accessories, the flexibly usable standalone products for the washbasin and WC area can be used precisely where they are needed at any given time.
WARM TOUCH has the high gloss appearance of chrome and the haptic properties of polyamide. Thanks to the pleasant surface, the material is particularly suitable for patients who are sensitive to cold.

Asia-Pacific equities struggled for direction Friday, following a lack of movement in most U.S. stocks overnight, as investors seek new drivers after an October to remember.
Australian stocks stood out, hitting fresh 2017 highs on gains in commodity prices. The S&P/ASX 200 was recently up 0.5% at 5,964 -- hitting a 2017 high for the second day in a row -- and moving closer to 2015's peak of 5,996.90. Topping that would put the index at its best level in 10 years.
BHP Billiton (BHP.AU) rose 1.3%, putting the week's gain at 4.2%, while Rio Tinto (RIO) added 1% to hit a six-year high. Higher metals prices were helping Korean steel producers, with Posco (PKX) climbing 0.6%.
But Korea's Kospi was flat and most benchmarks in the region were within 0.2% of Thursday's closing levels. Japanese markets were closed Friday for a holiday.
"This is normal consolidation," said CMC market analyst Margaret Yang Yan. But she added that selling is pretty light "and we don't see a systematic risk. It's just the market needs some time to digest and consolidate a bit."
Some investors have paused ahead of today's U.S. jobs report. After the first monthly drop in seven years in September's -- skewed by hurricanes -- "expectations are quite high for the data," OM Financial client adviser Stuart Ive said. Weekly jobless claims are at 44-year lows.
Metals prices rebounded this week, with steel and iron ore among the leaders. Nickel has been a standout by rising 23% over the past month due to expectations that supply will tighten on demand from electric-vehicle producers.
Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings (0700.HK) rose 1.4%, hitting record highs again. That came after Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) reported positive quarterly results. That helped Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index gain 0.5%.
Elsewhere, oil futures continued to rise, with the U.S. benchmark joining global standard Brent in reaching levels last seen in mid-2015. Both are up as much as 0.5% in Asian trading.

NGEN, the Navy’s main IT contract, is one of the most substantial opportunities for IT contractors this year thanks to a government-wide prioritization of updating agencies’ outdated technology. Per a recent presoliciation posting, the final solicitation for NGEN is scheduled for release on July 31st. Bids will be due on (or about) October 31st. The procurement is not a small business set-aside, and will have full and open competition under FAR Part 15.
The RFP is for Service, Management, Integration and Transport (SMIT) and is a re-compete of the $3.5 billion contract held by Perspecta. Perspecta obtained the contract from predecessors HP Enterprise and DXC Technology. It covers upgrades to a worldwide network that supports roughly 700,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel at approximately 2,500 sites.
Currently there are a number of large companies who have their eyes on the re-compete. This includes the incumbent, Perspecta, with AT&T as a main partner, as well as Leidos with partners IBM, Unisys and Verizon, and General Dynamics with recently aquired CSRA.
Please keep an eye on EZGovOpps EZ Id – EZSOL4006218. for updates on this final NGEN solicitation from SPAWAR e-Commerce Central, FBO and other sources.

I've been running FTP for a long time on this server and all of a sudden with no updates or change I can't FTP files to it anymore. The error I get in FETCH is "Error: the server does not believe you have permission to take that action."
I've fixed permissions, restarted to FTP service and even restarted the server? I tried connecting with other computers with different FTP programs and still get errors. I checked the acccess in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager and all seems to have the correct configuration.
What do I do next to try and trouble shoot this. Thank you for all your help in advance.
If you check the section 2.2 of Post Installation Guide for SLD this issue will become clear to you. Please check page 9 onwards. LcrAdministrator sould have all administrative tasks and in nutsahell should include all other roles. So just include all other roles and SAP will take care itself. I have checked in my Netwaver 2004s and I also could not find UME action com.sap.lcr.LcrAdministrator. But my SLD is working fine. I guess it like assigning SAP_ALL to users in ABAP engine but still you will be controlling the access to the users.
However you can also go for a tighter approach and restrict authorizations to the user J2EE_ADMIN. This would be infact even better than first approach however the ultimate decision lies with you.
Please award points if you found the answer useful.

You may be surprised by some of the tools and tricks that NASCAR pit crews use on race day. See more NASCAR pictures.
The most powerful tool a NASCAR driver has is his car -- but his car wouldn't survive even one race without the care it gets from the crew. NASCAR pit crews are sometimes called the unsung heroes of the sport. That's because they keep the car (and the driver) going, but they often get very little credit. However, those who are in the know recognize that NASCAR crew members are an integral part of every NASCAR victory and are superb athletes in their own right.
Keep reading to learn about the 10 essential tools of NASCAR pit crew members, how the tools work, and some of the surprising tricks many employ to keep their car on the track.

Tara Reid was reportedly pulled off a flight before takeoff on Monday.
The "Last Sharknado" star, 42, was aboard a Delta flight from LAX to NYC when she complained about being given the wrong seat and not getting a pillow, TMZ reported.
Per the outlet, Reid got upset when she found out she was not given a seat next to the window, as she had expected. Flight attendants reportedly attempted to diffuse the situation, but the pilot announced he was turning the plane around – which had already pushed back from the gate – due to a customer service issue.
A spokesperson for Delta confirmed to Fox News that "Delta flight 613 from Los Angeles to New York JFK-International returned to the gate, prior to takeoff, due to a customer disturbance on board."
"Delta apologizes to the remaining customers for the inconvenience and appreciates their patience as the situation was resolved," the spokesperson continued, noting that "the flight redeparted for New York following a short delay."
In a video obtained by TMZ, a flight attendant was seen talking to a woman identified as Reid, telling her that he'd gather all of her belongings and meet her "right out here with the captain."

I can’t believe we have already welcomed another new year (and it’s 1/2 way done)! 2011 was a complete whirlwind and more than ever, I am SO excited for 2012! Not sure how 2011 can be topped though…it’s going to be tough but I’m eager to see all it has to offer! My plans for taking December off from shooting & design work went great and I know for sure, I will do that again I had some precious newborns & a workshop, but it was nice to not travel for sessions for a whole month straight! However, now that January is upon us, I am already booked for a few family sessions in addition to 6 newborns! I figured it was the perfect time to give my clients and other photographers some styling inspiration! Up until now, San Diego has seen a fairly warm winter (which I HATE), so these outfit combinations are perfect for Southern California or for early Spring looks….
This is totally awesome…thanks so much for sharing!!!!

A rare and unused soundtrack recording by Thelonious Monk – and a set of music that would be a standout in his catalog, even if it wasn't planned for a film! You probably know the Art Blakey soundtrack for the movie – which was the used and released version – and you might even know the Duke Jordan recording, too – but this batch of material is equally wonderful, and features an unusual quintet that has Monk's piano alongside the twin tenors of both Charlie Rouse and Barney Wilen – the latter of whom was such a key part of the French scene that gave the world the film in the late 50s. Other group members include Sam Jones on bass and Art Taylor on drums – and most numbers are reworkings of other Monk compositions, but done especially for the film – with titles that include "Six In One", "Light Blue", "Bye & Bye", "Ba Lue Bolivar Ba Lues Are", "Pannonica", "Well You Needn't", and "Rhythm-A-Ning" – all presented here in differing versions and mixes. The box is fantastic – two 180 gram LPs, along with a 48 page booklet of notes and essays – and photos from the session, and full details on the recordings! © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.

While it is not as highly urbanized as other Spanish cities, like Madrid and Barcelona, finding accommodation in Tenerife will not be a problem. In fact, you will be pleased to learn that the apartments and hotels in the city are attractions of themselves.
Tenerife has two different personalities, where you spend a night or two in the city should depend on how you picture your vacation will be. On the island’s north presents the verdant and stylish side of the place, while its south offers tourists its rain-free and fun-loving side. If you want to enjoy Tenerife strolling its beaches by day and party like an animal at night, then it would be best to pick a hotel or a resort located on the south. However, if you want to savour its fiestas and tapas, then head north.
On southern Tenerife are various accommodations that are close to nature. There is Costa Adeje which is a sophisticated resort set in a natural harbour and blue sandy beaches. Surrounding the resort are several boutiques and restaurants for everyone’s pleasure. Another popular resort at the southern part of the city is Los Christianos which boasts of its imported Saharan sand and a plethora of restaurants. If you are looking for something more economical, there are small resorts like the Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes to accommodate you.
The northern side of the city is not as popular as the south among tourists. But if you want a place to stay in that’s away from the crowd, it is a good place to be. One of the popular accommodations in north Tenerife is Puerto de la Cruz, which is the first holiday resort in the city. An old-time style establishment, Puerto de la Cruz is also the island’s second largest tourist center. It has a botanical garden, beaches with black sand, and an original casino.
Another accommodation in the area is Hotel Rural Costa Salada, which is located in between exotic flower and banana plantations. Its location is one of the oldest parts of the city which emerged after volcanic eruptions.
There is a wide range of accommodation choices in Tenerife so choosing one that is perfect for your budget, needs, and requirements would not be hard.

A National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) Detailed Processing Project Grant of $113,198 to the University of Southern Mississippi in 2011-2013 funded archival processing activities for materials highlighting the timber industry of South Mississippi. Three large collections are now available for researchers: “Tung Oil Research and Development,” “Thigpen (S. G., Sr.) Papers” and “Tatum Family Business Records” (totaling approximately 515 cubic feet of materials).
The Tatum Family Business Records include the holdings of the Tatum family, prominent land holders, business and community leaders of the Forrest County, Mississippi area. Beginning in 1893 with the first sawmill, the Tatum Lumber Company came to employ hundreds of local residents and spanned approximately 63,000 acres of timber land and railways. W. S. F. Tatum, the patriarch of the family, led Hattiesburg as mayor from 1922-1924 and 1928-1936. During his terms as mayor roads were paved; extensive additions were made to the municipal water and sewer system; a public library, a municipal airport and the Saenger Theater were built; and the movement was started to bring natural gas to Hattiesburg. During the 1960s, land in Lamar County owned by the family and known as the Tatum Salt Dome was used by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to conduct underground nuclear detonations known as “Project Dribble.” The scope of the Tatum Family Business Records includes a view of Forrest and Lamar County, Mississippi, areas as the land turned from a timber industry waypoint into a vital, industrial city. The collection is comprised of approximately 443 cu. feet of materials from 1881-1991. A complete 494-page finding aid (and related catalog record) is online, along with 196 selected digital images.
S. G. Thigpen, Sr., of Picayune, Mississippi, was an area entrepreneur, historian, and writer who operated from his hardware store from 1919 until his death in 1981. The collection contains financial records, personal papers, essays, photographs, scrapbooks, sound recordings and newspaper articles of Thigpen’s life and the Pearl River County, Mississippi, area. The collection is comprised of approximately 38 cubic feet of materials from 1899-1996. A complete 75-page finding aid (and related catalog record) is online, along with 255 selected digital images.
Tung Oil Research and Development was an effort of many organizations utilizing Mississippi and Argentinian tung oil crops in a variety of methods, most notably in paints and varnishes, from the 1930s to the 1970s. The collection contains a variety of materials from laboratory notes, business records, photographs, and various correspondences from around southern Mississippi. The collection is comprised of approximately 34 cubic feet of materials from 1930-1974. A complete 137-page finding aid (and related catalog record) is online, anlong with 23 selected digital images.

First posted on The Warhammer Forum 2013, written by The Dice Bag Lady, feel free to share but please cite your sources!
Been having a huge mission trying to magnetise my metal Normans for Saga, but solved it, so I thought I’d share.
My other game is Warhammer, of which I have tonnes of models stored magnetically. I felt out of love with foam case storage after one too many snapped spears, and the time spent putting models in and out of them.
So my warhammer solution was rare earth magnets, discs stuck under the lip of the GW base, and “Really Useful Storage” boxes lined with sticky backed metal sheeting. Some of the models are on sarissa (mdf cut) bases with no indent underneath, so I drilled holes and put magnets in there. With the single troop plastics, I just used magnetic sheeting. Which means I just rank everyone back up after a game, so when I come to pay next, I’m all ready to go.
So, SAGA. The problem I had was that I couldn’t drill into the renedra base (and even if I could, I’d already started painting and basing the models, so didn’t want to mess that up.
I tried the magnetic sheet on metal sheet lined box… very bad. One careful trip and when I opened the box they were chipped and broke Even though I had tightly wedged them in to prevent sliding.
I probably overkilled it a bit, but there is no way these guys are going to slide anywhere.
Wait til completely dry and.. ta da.
They solidly stick on to the metallic sheet, but I since discovered than a biscuit tin is the way to go. The test model I shook aggressively and it did not bugde at all. Annoyingly, it wasn’t my biscuit tin, so my next mission is to find one!
The magnets are so thin that they don’t make the models look strange or risen, so no drilling or indenting required.
Once you’re all done, it’s then customary to use the remaining lump of magnets to position under the table, directly underneath a magnetised model, go “weeeee!” and watch him whizz around.

I just finished wrapping up the video from the testing.
I got an email from Ry last night and it appears from that last experiment of the day something quite interesting happened.
If you notice in this picture the steel is quite flat and straight still.
After the launch, the corners are pushed further out and away from the main plate. The center where the hole is has been pushed more towards the middle.
Here’s Ry’s take on what’s happening.
One thing I noticed in the last picture I took: the armor plate didn’t get any closer at the corners; it may have pulled further back. We saw this on the other one (the prime article); the center is almost touching, and the edges are curled up. I think the steel becomes like a thermoset plastic, flowing in the first moments of the explosion and freezing microseconds later.

As the pound has recovered, inflation once again started to fall, dropping from 3% at the end of 2017 to 2.4% last month.
Inflation numbers from July 2017 till June 2018 had adverse base effect due to GST... which had led to inflation increasing at a faster pace.
On month-on-month basis, the headline index increased by 1.13 per cent in July 2018, down by 0.11 per cent points from 1.24 per cent recorded in June 2018; representing the first month on month headline inflation decline since February 2018.
The price of a typical United Kingdom house is now around £228,400, a £1,000 increase on the previous month.
Wales saw average house prices increase by 4.3 per cent over the previous 12 months to stand at £157,000.
'However, the figures for June show that the price of new build properties shot up 9.6 per cent on an annual basis to £294,070, 3.8 per cent higher than in the previous month.
Economic Affairs Secretary S C Garg said that all macroeconomic parameters are performing well.
"If the recent depreciation of the INR sustains, it may modestly feed into the CPI inflation over the near term".
Meanwhile the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation fell to 3.2%. "The deteriorating external situation could be a big factor that influences the MPC even as they closely watch the inflation trajectory going forward", he said.
India Ratings and Research's (Ind-Ra) Chief Economist and Senior Director (Public Finance) Devendra Pant said: "This is nine month lowest retail inflation".
CPIH, the ONS' preferred method of measuring inflation was at 2.3% in July, unchanged from the previous month.
The average United Kingdom house price was £228,000 in June - £1,000 higher than in May and £6,000 higher than in June 2017. A Reuters poll of economists had predicted the inflation to come at 4.51 per cent.
By property type, semi-detached houses showed the biggest increase, rising by 4.4 per cent in the year to June 2018 to £216,000. "Crude oil prices continue to display a volatile trend, driven by geopolitical risks and concerns regarding supply as well as demand in various parts of the world", Ms Nayar added.
The prices for the data are collected from selected towns by the Field Operations Division of NSSO and from selected villages by the Department of Posts.

The US military is spending as much as $150 per gallon of jet fuel from algal sources rather than $2.88 a gallon for conventional jet fuel.
Last month, a Government Accountability Office report found that the military was spending as much as $150 a gallon on alternative jet fuel derived from algal oil rather than $2.88 a gallon for conventional jet fuel.
“Why should the Defense Department be paying for solar panels? Why should defense be paying for biorefineries? Those are not defense items. We have a Department of Energy that’s supposed to be doing that stuff. The disarming of America is not just what he’s been doing in cuts or delays like the F-35s, but less obvious is what he’s puts in [the defense budget] that we’re spending money on that should be spent on defense as opposed to his agenda.
“Now, [the president’s] true to his agenda, and you may agree with it and that’s fine. I don’t,” Mr. Inhofe said.
Meanwhile, veterans are dying before they can get help from the VA.

Ever thought of staying in a villa for your holiday? Sometimes the main focus of a vacation is simply to get away from the usual rush of daily life. Booking a room in a hotel does grant you that, but have you ever thought of getting away from it all? In a hotel it wouldn't be unusual for you to bump into other guests, or have to deal with maybe having to wait your turn to get a seat at the pool. If such hotel experiences bother you, have you ever considered the alternative of a villa? Maybe a villa in Cape Town's city bowl?
Villas have characteristics that set them apart from the likes of hotel rooms, apartments and even penthouses. All of these holiday alternatives are part of a complex, and encountering other holiday seekers is inevitable. One of the defining features of a villa, is that it is basically a free standing house. In other words, you have total privacy. No other guests, no having to wait for a spot at the pool. The ultimate dream for holiday travellers.
That makes a villa your home away from home. Of course a very luxurious home away from home. Renting a villa in Cape Town's city bowl ensures you get your own private place to come back to at the end of the day after spending it enjoying the many attractions in and around the Mother City. If you had had to go back to a hotel room at the end of the day, the only time you'd have total privacy was once you reached your room. At a villa, you have that as soon as you enter the front door.
Imagine you wanted to go to Camps Bay beach. If that had happened at a hotel, you may have felt inclined to dry off completely and get dressed before returning. Accommodation at a villa in the city bowl means you don't necessarily have to get all the beach sand off your feet or off your sandals before heading back at the end of the day.
What about going for a walk to browse the various shops in the Cape Town city bowl? If you are the type that tends to shop until the point of exhaustion, you don't actually want to wait until you get to a hotel room before you can just throw yourself onto a couch. Having a villa during your holiday stay will give you that satisfaction only a few moments after you enter the house.
Then of course there is what you can find inside a villa. In apartments and hotel rooms you get all the luxurious furniture plus some privacy, while in a villa you know by now that it's all the same except you get total privacy. It means you also get all that space for just you, as well as your friends or family. All of those luxuries, like the pool, the barbecue facility outside, it's all yours to use at the time of your choosing. Plus you get to enjoy the famous views of Cape Town bowl, including the distant ocean and the wide-reaching Table Mountain. Maybe other holiday seekers get that view too, but only you get to enjoy it with just the people you want to while sitting and enjoying a barbecue by the pool.

Western Australia's train passengers have voted Perth's train services as the best in the country - for the fourth year.
Canstar Blue has again named Transperth as the best urban train system in the country.
The respected national consumer research company Canstar Blue has again named Transperth as the best urban train system in the country on the basis of 'City Trains - Most Satisfied Customers'.
Transport Minister Dean Nalder said the results, based on a survey of train passengers from all capital cities, proved that the customer experience in Perth was the best in the nation.
"These results show Transperth is punching well above its weight on a national scale and delivering reliable, clean and safe public transport for West Australians," he said.
Transperth was awarded the maximum five stars in six of the eight categories. On ticket price and safety Transperth also scored four stars out of five.
"This is an excellent result. To put this in context, only one other urban system scored five stars in any category," the Minister said.
Mr Nalder said the State Government was committed to continued investment in public transport.
"We won't rest on our laurels - we continue to invest in more stations such as Aubin Grove, more rail cars, more investment on track and overhead maintenance, and more in major infrastructure projects like the Forrestfield-Airport Link," he said.
"We are also looking at smart transport initiatives such as Wi-Fi on trains and buses to make public transport an even more attractive option."

Working with Cool Huting & Largetail, we developed mobile apps and a website for Jeep's sponsorship of the 2012 Summer Olympic Basketball team. We helped create the concept of "The Power Index" which tells the behind the scenes stories of how athletes made it to the Olympics. The story was told through a mix of infographics and sponsored content, which would be shown throughout Largetail's media network including sponsoring the Cool Hunting iPad app.

This page tests the new input values of HTML5.
See also the mobile table.
Last updated on 2 March 2015.
These six definitions don’t go for all input types or browsers. In the table below I indicate for each type which of the six are relevant.
The Chromia offer a dropdown under an arrow, and match the predefined values from start; i.e. entering a 'p' only shows option 'ppk' since that starts with a p.
IE does the same, except that the dropdown automatically opens when you focus on the field.
Firefox doesn’t show anything initially, but substring-matches whatever you fill in; i.e. entering a 'p' shows both options since both contain a p.
The Chromia support all except datetime.
On Mac, the Chromia always show US-formatted dates and times. As far as I know there’s no way to change that. Windows listens to the user preferences and switches time and date formats accordingly.
Using the input itself is annoying, but the Chromia also offer some good popup date pickers for everything but time.
The most annoying one is time, which requires an am/pm input. Entering 14:33 is not possible. However, the server receives a 24hrs-formatted time anyway.
With dates the server received yyyy-mm-dd; with weeks yyyy-Www (where the W is an actual 'W').
IE10 and 11 remove the value onblur if it’s not a number. This is a useful bit of interface other browsers should copy.
Mac browsers except Firefox give the field rounded corners, but that’s the full extent of the support for this type. To be fair, I don’t know what else they’re supposed to be doing.
I don’t know how to define support because I don’t know what this type is supposed to do.
The browser automatically focuses on this field when the page is loading.
Allows users to upload multiple files at once.
The value must conform to the regexp pattern, or submission is halted.
The error message contains the element’s title, if any.
The placeholder text is shown as long as the field is unfocused and the user has not entered another value.
User cannot enter a value in the form field.
Form submission is halted if a required field does not have a value.
Safari doesn’t send a wrong value to the server, but doesn’t alert the user that something is wrong, either. Pressing on the arrows brings you back to the expected 3-6-9-12 range.
IE tells the user to enter a valid value but doesn’t tell the user what a valid value looks like.
Safari removes the value and sends the rest to the server. This is BAD since the user has no clue that his submission has gone wrong.
Firefox and the Chrome-based browsers show an error message with the closest legal values.
I removed them, so they’re not tested for newer methods and properties that they don’t support anyway. However, I copy all information from older versions of the Tables.
If IE8 supports a method or property I never tested before I have to guess if IE7 and lower also support it. In general I assume they support the Microsoft-invented properties, but for others I will occasionally have to add a "Don’t know" entry. If IE8 does not support something I never tested before, I assume IE7 and lower also don’t support it.
On Microsoft Remote Desktop, as indicated at Remote IE. This is not Spartan, but an IE that runs EdgeHTML, the new rendering engine.
All downloaded from modern.ie. I use VirtualBox, and downloded the Windows 7 systems for all browsers but IE11, which runs on Windows 8.1.
The non-IE Windows browsers all run on the IE9/Win7 virtualization.
Ubuntu 12.04 on pretty old hardware. Not fair for performance comparisons.

A friend of mine was telling me a story about a family of sandhill cranes that had a panic attack when the baby bird walked under a fence into a cow pasture. Naturally the parents became upset and immediately began “squawking” and trying to get through the fence themselves to save the baby.
My friend watched until she saw one of the parents force their way through the fence, to the other side, to save the baby bird.
Well, just like humans, birds also lose their rational sense of being when in a stressful or unfamiliar situation.But, unlike birds or other animals, we can practice yoga and meditation to develop awareness of our thoughts, actions and reactions.
Our sense of mindfulness during any situation determines the future.
This is what yoga really teaches us.
Like the little bird, we all want to explore different areas of our yoga practice and sometimes are led by our curiosity beyond safe limits – leading a caring yoga teacher to promptly give you a modification or a few props to bring you back to a safe posture.
Sometimes we’re like the mother bird and become so overwhelmed with a new pose or practice, we’re afraid to try and forget the tools we’ve learned to get us their safely. We forget we have wings.
How Does Yoga Remind Us We Have Wings?
It helps us overcome doubt and fear.
It helps to develops self-knowledge.
Being in the moment becomes natural.
It develops mindfulness of the world around you, and your self.
The calmer the mind, the easier it is to stop, think and act.
Just like yoga, stop, hold, breathe.
Developing mindfulness allows us to release our fears and open our wings and fly.

Confused, what plasma should I buy with £1500?
Discussion in 'Plasma TVs Forum' started by krissb, Dec 26, 2006.
I've been doing a fair amount of research recently and I would say you have a choice of 2.
1. The Panny TH42-PX600, this has 3 HDMI connections, which will be enough for your needs.
2. The Pioneer PDP-427XD, this has 2 HDMI connections and a component, so again enough for your needs.
Both of these panels can be had for less than £1500 if you shop around.
Do some searching and come up with your own conclusions, but I feel you too will whittle the panels down to these two.
The Panny apparently has issues with purple snaking and the Pioneer apparently has issues with HDMI connectivity to a SKY HD box So read up well.
Hi, I like the look of the Panasonic TH50PX60. A full 50" monster, that can be had for just under £1600 if you look around (www.pricerunner .co.uk).
Personally I'd stay clear of the panny's if you've got a 360 some people have had some nasty looking green tinge with them Not all but some. I'm looking at plasmas and it has to be the pio for me, so far I haven't heard of any major issues with it. There are a lot coming through with the pannys but that could just be because more people have them.
Try and find a plasma tv that hasn't had issues with it.
Panny and Pio are my choices to look at. I did end up with a Panny, but thats only because a friend of mine owns a Retail outlet and always does me a fantastic deal.
At the end of the day, they all have their own faults/merits and of course warranties, so it will come down to what you think is best for you.
Try and get down your local retailer and see them in the flesh.
Thsi time of year there will be some fantastic deals around and you may end up with enough change in your pocket for other things!
I have come across the Philips 42PF5521D which looks good, anyone got any feedback on this?
