If you've defaulted on a student loan, you've basically given up on paying it—which can land you in a lot of trouble. For federal student loans, you've officially defaulted when you've gone at least a year without paying. You can't discharge federal student loans in bankruptcy—and even if you're lucky enough to become one of the 1% of students in bankruptcy who actually succeed, you'll have terrible credit for seven years. But you do have some options. One of them is settling your debt.
Settlement is an unusual option, because many students don't have the ready cash on hand to pay off their debt in one large chunk. But if you do have the capital and qualify for a settlement, it may be a better option than a repayment plan.
Settling your debt means making a large up-front payment, usually within 90 days, that accounts for most of the balance of the loan. This is not an option within easy reach for most students—after all, if you've had to let your loan go into default, you probably don't have that kind of cash lying around. Still, some students get lucky enough to collect an inheritance or get a loan from a family member. Others pay off the loan by borrowing from other sources, although commercial loan interest rates aren't likely to be better than the rates of federal student loans.
Typically, you'll settle your debt through a private student loan collections agency. The US Department of Education allows these agencies to make three types of settlements without getting its approval. If you want a different deal, the collection agency could lose its commission while getting approval from the US Department of Education—so compromises are rare.
The first type of settlement involves a collection charge waiver. You'll be responsible for paying the current principal and all unpaid interest, but not any extra collection charges. This can add up to a considerable amount, as it typically amounts to 25% of each monthly payment you skipped on before you defaulted.
The second type involves payment of the current balance, as well as 50% of the unpaid interest. The third type of settlement requires you to pay at least 90% of the current balance of principal and interest.
Which option is cheapest depends on your individual situation—but the first option is usually the most affordable to students. Still, collections agencies may not offer all three. They may start off by trying to get the least reduction in interest and principal as possible. You'll have to know the types of settlements available beforehand and do the math to figure out which is cheapest for you—depending on your situation.
Not everyone gets a settlement. Typically, a student only gets a settlement if it has been several years since the last payment and it's impossible for the student to repay the loan any other way. In general, if you make enough to be able to afford at least a minimum monthly payment, you won't get a settlement. But if you do manage to negotiate one, get all the terms in writing—and run them by a lawyer.
Be absolutely sure the settlement includes a "paid in full" statement after you've paid—otherwise, unscrupulous lenders could apply your payment to the debt without settling it in full. The debts could come back years later claiming that you never paid, and you'd have no documentation to prove otherwise.
It's important to realize, as well, that a monthly student loan repayment plan of any kind is not a settlement. With a monthly repayment plan, you'll still be responsible for all interest and principal, as well as—most likely—any penalties and collection charges that accrue. A settlement can be more desirable than a repayment plan, if you have the cash, because you may be able to settle your debt for less than you owe.
When you default on your student loans, you have few good options. Settlement is an unusual option, because many students don't have the ready cash on hand to pay off their debt in one large chunk. But if you do have the capital and qualify for a settlement, it may be a better option than a repayment plan. But before agreeing to anything, it's a good idea to consult an attorney. The collections agencies are out for their own best interests and can sometimes be unscrupulous—so you'll need to take care of yourself or you could end up with bad credit from your student loans . | {

Ballard once a city — ring a bell?
Sketched March 1, 11:46 a.m., 3:08 p.m.
The bell inside the Ballard Centennial Bell Tower has been silent for almost 20 years, but 97-year-old advocate Bertha Davis is clamoring for it to toll again.
The 1,600-pound bell hung above Ballard's City Hall when the neighborhood was an independent city at the turn of the 20th century. Back then, it rang at 6 o'clock every evening when the shingle-mill workers left their jobs, said Davis, a retired schoolteacher and Ballard resident since 1945.
Davis is part of the bell's storied past. In the 1980s, she was part of a committee that helped get the bell's current tower built at the site of the former city hall. The bell rang there until the mechanism was dismantled following some acts of vandalism.
Now, Davis wants to take care of unfinished business by installing an automated ringing system. A committee has been formed and a "Bring the Ring Back" campaign has been the buzz of the neighborhood since Davis celebrated her birthday with a party by the bell last month.
Drawn to Seattle. Where should I take my sketchbook next? Do you know of a good story waiting to be drawn? I'd love to hear about it. You can send me your suggestions to [email protected] or via Facebook or Twitter. Have an awesome weekend! | {

For years, city officials have been promising an overhaul of this economically stunted section of town and even commissioned planners to release a "Vision Statement" last year regarding the neighborhood's future. But so far the only new construction has come several blocks to the east of the diner. Here's hoping the pace of change doesn't pick up, because the revitalizers' vision doesn't save room for places like Tony's. And once this $3.85 platter goes away, it won't come back. | {

Unlocking Our Potential
U of T researchers suggest life's early years might be even more important than we thought
June 14, 2011 | By Alison Motluk
By the time a child sets foot in kindergarten, much about her future life has already been set in motion – everything from her ability to concentrate and learn, to her lifetime chances of suffering from obesity or heart disease or depression. Evidence is mounting that what happens in the first four years of life can be critical to long-term well-being. However, as a society we still don't do enough to optimize this important period, or even to stave off the biggest dangers.
Now, a group of researchers at the University of Toronto from a variety of disciplines – medicine, psychology, education and genetics – is proposing to create an Institute for Human Development. Its central mission will be to investigate how to make the most of these early years. The question, the researchers agree, is no longer whether very early life is pivotal in determining later-life health and well-being – we know it is – but rather which experiences and exposures are most important, which genes, in interaction with the early environment, put a person at the greatest risks and what practical interventions can make the most difference.
The new thinking ultimately aims to change how very young children are cared for and educated. Rather than waiting for problems to appear before taking action, these researchers advocate stepping in to prevent them from developing in the first place. This will pay off down the road in improved health. "If we know what someone's at risk for," says Stephen Lye, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology who studies fetal health at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, "maybe we can do something early enough that we can prevent it."
Scientists have understood for decades that we inherit a complement of genes that are a combined subset of the genes of our biological parents. And while these genes give detailed instructions about how we develop, we now know they will not dictate our fate. What has become increasingly clear in recent years is that our genes are in constant conversation with our environment, and they are modified by the nutrients, pathogens and even experiences that we encounter throughout our lives.
This gene-environment dialogue starts in the womb. "About 20 years ago, there was the beginning of a new understanding," says Lye. "The period of development during pregnancy and early life is not just important for a healthy baby, but also for a person's well-being later in life." In short, the kind of experience we enjoy in utero will to a significant degree influence our health and welfare for the rest of our days.
The first strong evidence of this came in 1989 from work by David Barker, a British physician and epidemiologist. Drawing from a large population in the U.K., he looked at whether birth weight affected how likely a person was eventually to die of heart disease. As babies, all the people in the study had been in the normal weight range. But it turned out that the less they had weighed at birth, the greater at risk they were for heart disease. Exactly why this happens is still a matter of speculation – perhaps a fetus is pre-programmed in the womb to use calories sparingly, only to be born into a world of plenty, or perhaps smaller babies are less able to muster the resources to construct hearts and kidneys well.
Since that landmark study, low birth weight has been associated with other features of what has now become known as "the metabolic syndrome." These include hypertension, stroke, insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes and a combination of high blood sugar and high cholesterol. Intriguingly, psychosocial traits such as poor concentration, anxiety and depression can also be tied back to conditions in our earliest days.
Lye admits that these big epidemiological studies, while provocative, don't provide solutions for individuals. "Population risk is not much use to parents with young children," he says. "What they really want to know is how a particular environment will affect their children's genes. We have to do research to more fully appreciate what these associations are."
Not everyone who faces adversity early in life is negatively affected by it. "The same environment can have a dramatically different effect on individuals, depending on their genetic makeup," says Marla Sokolowski, a University Professor in the department of biology at U of T Mississauga. We used to think that a trait was the product of either nature or nurture, but research on fruit flies and other organisms has made it clear that the interplay between genes and the environment is important.
For instance, in the 1980s, Sokolowski discovered the foraging gene in fruit flies, which influences several characteristics in the fly. Like most genes, this one comes in different forms, or variants. Flies with the "rover" variant of this gene produce more of a foraging enzyme in the brain. As a result, they keep moving from food patch to food patch, eat on the go, store less fat and have a stronger short-term memory. Flies with the "sitter" variant have less of the foraging enzyme, dine longer in one place, eat more overall, store more fat and have a better long-term memory.
Sokolowski points out that it's important to remember that gene expression can be mediated by circumstances. The "rover" and "sitter" characterizations describe how the flies behave when food is plentiful. When food is scarce, however, Sokolowski and her research team found that rovers turn into sitters. This is true not only in terms of behaviour, but at the molecular level of the gene as well: less of the foraging enzyme is produced in underfed rovers. In other words, the environment and genetics interact to affect what an organism is like. What researchers working in the relatively new field of epigenetics are finding is that environmental influences can turn certain genes on or off, or modify their expression up and down like a volume control.
What we also want to know, of course, is how gene-environment interactions play out in humans. For several years, Lye has been collaborating with a team in Perth, Australia, which has been following a cohort of children since before they were born. The Raine Study, as it is known, recruited 2,900 women in week 18 of their pregnancy and collected a wealth of data about what they were eating, their mental-health status and how settled things were at home in an effort to know as much as possible about the conditions of the fetuses they were carrying.
After the children were born, data collection continued. The researchers were interested both in the inputs – how well they ate, for instance, what their schooling was like and what kind of parenting they got – but also their outcomes: how they grew, how healthy they were, how well they fared in school and in life.
As one might expect, some kids did well despite adversity and others were hampered by it. Some were healthy, others less so. To try to explain these differences, Lye and his colleagues undertook a whole genome scan of 1,800 of the children. The kids in the study are now 19 or 20 years old – too young to have full-blown cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes, but old enough to be showing tendencies toward these sorts of conditions.
As part of the investigation, the research team examined a gene called FTO, a variant of which is known to be associated with obesity. In the Raine children, those who have the gene variant linked to obesity tend to have higher body mass index. But even more intriguing was what the team found when they looked specifically at the Raine girls who had this variant of the gene but who were not particularly overweight.
Preliminary analysis has found that the girls with a near-normal body mass index all had something in common: they were more likely to have been breastfed for at least six months. It's a fairly simple intervention, but has huge implications. "If [the analysis] is confirmed, it shows that it is possible to alter the environment of the child and have a more beneficial outcome later in life," says Lye.
But altering the environment cuts both ways. Just as simple interventions can change things for the better, so too can they change things for the worse. Stephen Matthews, a professor in the department of physiology, has been studying the effects of stress hormones on the developing fetus. On the one hand we know that a short burst of the stress hormone cortisol, which happens late in gestation, is critical to the development of the lungs. It's so important, in fact, that mothers of babies at risk of being born before the natural cortisol surge receive injections of synthetic cortisol.
On the other hand, too much cortisol may do harm. Pregnant women who experience intense stress even for short periods are more likely to give birth to children who go on to have disorders such as anxiety and learning troubles. So the researchers were curious what other effects these injections of synthetic cortisol, or highly stressful maternal experiences during pregnancy, might be having. They were particularly interested in the effects on the infant's brain.
Matthews' team used guinea pigs as their model animals, because they have similar placentas to humans and give birth to similarly developed offspring. What they found was that when a pregnant guinea pig experiences stress or gets a stress hormone injection, her pups' brains can be permanently altered. The exact effect will depend on the sex of the fetus, as well as when the hormone surge happened. But the studies showed that the control centre for hormone regulation is permanently changed, as are the brain neurotransmitter systems.
Ultimately, this may be the mechanism by which stress during fetal life can affect endocrine function and behavior throughout the rest of the animals' existence. Matthews' research and that of others has found that adversity during pregnancy is associated with offspring that tend to be more fearful, impulsive and inattentive. Perhaps most alarming of all is Matthews' discovery that sometimes these cortisol effects can last beyond the exposed generation and affect their children – and perhaps their grandchildren. "There seems to be a trans-generational memory of adversity in early life," says Matthews.
The conversation between our genes and our environment continues after we are born. Though we are no longer in our mother's womb, we are still very much affected by her interaction with us. Even subtle differences in the way a parent behaves toward us in the early months of our lives can alter the way we develop emotionally, socially and cognitively.
Landmark animal studies by Professor Michael Meaney of McGill University found that reduced maternal care affected how certain genes in the offspring expressed themselves. To find out more about how the early environment, including maternal behaviour, can affect child development, Matthews and Meaney are co-directing a large, multidisciplinary study that follows groups of mothers and children in Ontario and Quebec.
Alison Fleming, a psychology professor at U of T Mississauga who has spent her career studying parenting behaviour, is collaborating with Matthews and Meaney on the mother-and-child study. She is interested in how a new mother's own early life experiences might interact with her genes to influence her parenting style. Over the course of more than six years, Fleming and her colleagues have paid 20 home visits to each of 204 mothers, observed their parenting, and measured hormones. The study included a session in which the researchers videotaped mother-infant interactions and then measured, among other things, how attentive the mother was to her six-month-old baby.
The researchers also took a cheek swab to do genetic analysis and inquired through questionnaires about the mother's early upbringing. When they analyzed the genetic information and put it together with the mother's own background, the findings were intriguing. The mothers with at least one copy of a particular gene variant – best known for its association with depression and anxiety – turned out to be much more attentive to their babies. Mothers who both lacked this variant and had an adverse early childhood were significantly more likely to ignore their infants. Even a mother's perceived attachment to her baby seemed to be associated with interaction between her genes and her early childhood environment.
Part of what makes the findings so provocative is that the gene variant that made for more attentive mothering has long been considered a "vulnerability" variant, because it appears to put people at greater risk for depression and other mental-health issues. But Fleming and others now argue that rather than predisposing people to poor mental health, this gene variant may just make someone more sensitive to environmental effects. "These gene variants are not necessarily about enhancing effects of negative environments," says Viara Mileva-Seitz, a graduate student who works with Fleming and carried out the study, "but about enhancing sensitivity to any environment, be it positive or negative. You need to look at both sides of the coin.
Presumably there's a reason why these genes survived. It is unlikely that they are maladaptive in all environments." Jennifer Jenkins, a developmental psychologist with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, is studying how family relationships interact with various genes to affect children's development. Evidence from other labs suggests that the context in which children grow up, including the family environment, can affect not only psychosocial well-being (such as how secure a child feels) but also the propensity to develop conditions such as diabetes or obesity. "What we know about environmental effects provides us with plenty of room for intervention," says Jenkins.
The proposed Institute for Human Development has set its sights beyond health. It will also tackle a variety of issues in learning, care and education, in particular to improve how young children self-regulate, says Carl Corter, who is another of the institute's key players and a senior researcher at OISE. This ability, which encompasses skills such as self-discipline, perseverance and emotional control, has been shown to predict later-life health, wealth and involvement in crime. Three-year-old children, for instance, who had low levels of self-control, were significantly more likely at age 32 to be drug-dependent, financially struggling or convicted of a crime.
The province and the education system acknowledge the importance of good self-regulation, says Corter. Teachers confirm that kids with limited self-regulation present huge challenges to schools, and Ontario's guidelines for child care, family support programs and kindergarten all emphasize how important it is. Newer report cards even try to measure it and suggest "next steps" for how the child can improve. "There's increasingly the view that we have to think not just about how core academic content is delivered," says Corter.
But educators have not been prepared to deal with the emerging knowledge about self-regulation in children. "Early education has long recognized the importance of creating feelings of attachment and security among children. That thinking has dominated so much of academic practice," Corter says. This is still important to do but is being supplemented by new understanding about additional processes that lead to healthy development. We're now learning that what kids really need is graded challenges, he says. This fosters self-awareness in children about their own actions. Corter would like researchers to spend time observing child-care centres and full-day kindergarten classrooms to critically examine what we are currently doing and how we could improve strategies for helping kids regulate their own behaviour and make the most of their learning experiences.
Initially, Corter says, ideas about how to foster self-regulation will be tested through the university's laboratory school at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study. The institute is a hub where teachers, political and educational leaders, developmental scientists and parents all meet in the interest of putting research and ideas about education into practice. "It's a mini-institute of human development," he says.
The same approach used to study how early experiences affect physical and mental health will be used to tackle problems of self-regulation. Researchers will also work hand in hand with the Ontario Birth Study, which, once launched, will recruit pregnant women from Mount Sinai Hospital. The study will follow children starting early in their gestation and will continue to track and monitor them as they grow up. It will be similar to the Raine study, but instead of being restricted to a single cohort, it will be ongoing. With the help of DNA analysis, the researchers will explore how genes and environment work together to influence each child's life course – in terms of metabolic health, mental health and self-regulation, among other things. The goal is to use the data to inform doctors and educators about how to care for and promote well-being in the next generation and how to intervene to mitigate problems and then monitor how those interventions fare.
In Corter's larger vision, the schools won't just be setting curriculum or determining interventions to improve kids' self-regulation. Schools will help provide parenting classes, pediatric care and social services. "We're trying to get the education system to think health," he says. "There will be more overlap in the future."
The proposed Institute for Human Development will bring together research scientists with the people most able to deliver interventions: clinicians, social workers and educators. With its scope reaching from basic scientific research into health and all the way into education, and then, uniquely, with those results channelling back into scientific research, the new institute will be unlike any other, says Sokolowski.
"There's nowhere else in the world where you will find this kind of facility combining discovery and translational research on this scale," she says. The concentration of expertise is also one of a kind, she adds. Sokolowski credits the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) for bringing the importance of early human development into the mainstream. Dr. Fraser Mustard, the founder of CIFAR, has also been a driving force in this area for many years, she says.
What will distinguish the institute, according to Lye, Sokolowski, Matthews and Corter, is its focus on prevention and promotion, rather than measuring or managing risk and disease after they have already begun to unfold. "We're very determined that this isn't just a research project," says Lye. "There have got to be outcomes."

While I agree that the years between 0-4 are incredibly important in a child's development, I find studies that try to find the so-called ideal conditions for rearing children highly Essentialist (biologically women must do X to be 'good mothers') as well as totally biased. The entire section on stress during pregnancy and the amount of time a child should be breastfed are both, frankly, insulting. Is Matthews arguing that mothers who experience extreme stress during pregnancy and who could not or did not breastfeed their child/ren -- that their kids are doomed?! What I find most disturbing is the subtext of all of these studies - the drive to "scientifically" categorize what it means to be a 'good mother' (and, therefore, a 'bad' mother). Should we call it the 'Cult of Motherhood'? I didn't think we were living in the Middle Ages.
Mahir Aydin says:
What a difficult and important subject! Infancy, early childhood, formal education, mother-baby (father, and other relatives-babies), genetic structure, environment, success ("whatever it means") in life. Too many unknowns... In spite of the complexity and controversial nature of the subject, I found the article very well written and informative. Wishing the best for the proposed Institute for Human Development. Seems very exciting initiative.
Jennifer Cho says:
Having worked with young children for over 15 years, I can say that my best memories are the ones where I was able to encourage children to develop self-regulation skills. I think this is such an important topic to address, research and deliver because we often overlook the importance of developing self-regulation stepping stones in our early education years.
Mike Scapillato says:
From reading this article, I have the eerie image of somnolent, conflict-free, self-regulating young students streaming into the future school system. And then the questions: Where are their minds? What are they actually learning? Where is the notion of "interest"? And what happens when someone is in error? Or is "error" itself to be eradicated?
Alison Fleming says:
In response to Mara:
We totally understand the concern that our kind of work on the psychology and physiology of parenting and parenting effects on the development of the infant could lead to a belief that there is a good type of parenting and a bad type of parenting- and, usually when we talk about parenting, it is the mother that is most often studied. We are very aware of this concern and realize that we walk around with implicit assumptions about what is and is not good mothering. However, a number of points should be made.
First and foremost, as anthropology and cross-cultural work shows us, despite common functions of caregiving (to nurture, feed, protect, stimulate, socialize, infants, etc.) there are many ways to parent (or to mother, if that is the focus); how a parent interacts with the infant depends on the culture, the socialization goals of the culture and the individuals' experiences and biology. As Heidi Keller and Marc Bornstein (among others) show clearly, some cultures value interdependence and sociability in their children and they tend to value parenting where the mother keeps the baby on the body for long periods of time, many caregivers share in the care of many children together, and children tend not to receive a lot of individual attention. Other cultures (Germany, North America) value independence, individual achievement, autonomy and these cultures tend to show parenting styles that encourage one-to-one interactions, individual skill challenges, early intellectual stimulation, and so on. Hence what may be considered 'good' parenting in one culture may be quite inappropriate in another. An eventual and important goal for all these studies that explore the effects of prenatal stress, postnatal 'adversity', effects of parenting and of breastfeeding on development of the child is to do a cross-cultural analysis and to take into account the many factors even within a culture that vary across parents and families. Hence, the emphasis on variation and on factors that contribute to that variation is the approach that we take. I would suggest, then, that the concept of good and bad mothering or parenting is not a very helpful concept- with the notable exception of severe abuse, neglect, and starvation which are not valued by any culture.
In terms of the issue of environment and genetics and their role in regulating child development, clearly such a biological emphasis says little about development and how it will proceed. Some children do very 'well' under severe stress whereas others do poorly under what looks to be very little challenge or stress. Behavioral and cognitive styles of children have been found to be important in understanding resilience. The work proposed in this institute will attempt to analyze how genes and environment interact to produce resilience in child development. The environment in these cases will include the home environment, of fathers, mothers, siblings, friends, and so on; the school environments, of peers and teachers; and the physical environment associated with socio economic status and conditions of poverty. Together these environmental factors along with physiology and an understanding of genetics can help us understand the many ways that kids develop, adapt to school, and become social beings.

Leda Ostafichuk says:
What an interesting article. As someone who works in the education system, I'm interested in gaining a better understanding of the early experience on children and their development and how it may impact their learning. More questions come to mind as how can this information be used by teachers in developing the engaged and curious learner. Can the early experience be overturned by teachers? Knowing this, and yes it is a very multifaceted and complicated as noted in the comments, do we need to look at teacher training? These were just a few questions that came to mind.
Ross Gallor says:
Indeed, proper development in early days of child's life is very necessary. All the parents need to understand this fact that to fulfill their expectation if they pressurize the children then its totally wrong. Instead of that you need to take good care of him and develop him in proper manner so that he can be a good person in life.

Because radar was not invented until the mid-1930s, fleet air defense was a primitive effort for flyers during the 1920s. Once the innovative system was developed and utilized, organized air defense became viable. Thus major naval-air battles of the Second World War—like Midway, the "Pedestal" convoy, the Philippine Sea and Okinawa—are portrayed as tests of the new technology. However, even radar was ultimately found wanting by the Kamikaze campaigns, which led to postwar moves toward computer control and new kinds of fighters.
After 1945, the new threats of nuclear weapons and stand-off missiles compounded the difficulties of naval air defense. The second half of the book covers the U.S. and Royal Navies' attempts to resolve these problems by examining the U.S. experience in Vietnam and British operations during the Falklands War. The book then turns to the ultimate U.S. development of techniques and technology to fight the Outer Air Battle in the 1980s before concluding with the current state of technology supported carrier fighters. | {

From the play, there are several instances of revenge where we see the main characters acting without reasoning. This makes them make unwise decisions when they try to avenge their rivals. Over the history, writers have indicated that revenge is not often an intellectual decision. This is clearly shown by the consequences that follow the acts of revenge in Hamlet. In the play, three youngmen are all looking to revenge for the murder of their fathers. All of them have their actions based on emotion. This caused the downfall of two, and the success to power of one. Revenge is the major theme in Hamlet as we see the eldest sons of murdered fathers seeking vengeance.
The main character, prince Hamlet suffers both his father's death and also his mother, marriage to Claudius. We see the ghost of his father appearing to him and informing him that Claudius, Hamlet's uncle had poisoned him. Due to this Hamlet swears vengeance. He plans an ancient play with a story similar to that of Claudius. His manners are considered as insane. He murders the listening in Polonius. Laertes, Polonius' son comes back to Denmark to retaliate his father's death. Polonius's daughter falls in loves with the Prince but his atrocious activities makes her hate him. She later dies through drowning. A fight takes place and ends with Gertrude's death, Laertes, Claudius, and Hamlet. The theme of consequences of revenge and retribution is clearly depicted in this play (2).
Naturally a son feels wronged by the death of his father. This is the case with the two young princes. The sons decide to take the course of revenge to satisfy their anger. Hamlet is disdained by the vicious death of his father in the direction of destinies of seeking revenge. This comes out to authorize comparisons in Shakespeare's great catastrophe in the Hamlet. Both princes look for revenge for the proceedings connecting to the death of their fathers. However, their uncles and kings are against their nephew's plans to achieve their own objectives. Nevertheless, from the play, it is apparent that they have quite diverse individuality. Although the two princes have equivalent positions and superlative intentions, the strength that drives them is different. The means in which they seek to achieve their aims are different (4).
The play consists of numerous deaths. The deaths played a very imperative role in the recounting of the play. Hamlet's father, who was the king, was found dead in an orchard where he liked to relax. Hamlet was shocked when he learnt of his father's passing away, but what made him more curious was the fact that his mother, remarried so hurriedly to the brother of the dead King. Horatio, his friend, was on night look out outside the fortress. He recited to the prince of the happenings where he had seen an apparition who looked like King Hamlet. Hamlet became curious and the next night when he came hoping to see the ghost, it appeared and called him wanting to converse with him. The spirit talked about how the King was poisoned while he was sleeping. The ghost required that the prince avenges his murder (6).
acting strangely and she later died. Hamlet was blamed for the death of Polonius and Ophelia. He later got into a fight where many people ended dead. In the play, though Hamlet died he still achieved his goal of eliminating Claudius. The throne was given to another person who was conspiracy free (6).
In the play by Shakespeare, the major subject is followed throughout by strategy of vengeance. This causes misfortune and deaths of many people. All through the play, various people want carry out revenge. The prince of Denmark, who is the main character, desires revenge on the current King of his country. This king is his uncle whom he believes killed his father. His uncle killed his brother so as to take the leadership and to marry the Queen. When attempting to get vengeance for his father by killing his Uncle, the price unintentionally murders Polonius. This was the father of one of his best friends Laertes. In the play again we see Laertes wanting to get retribution for his father's death. This he plans to achieve by killing his friend Hamlet. These intentions depict the extent of vengeance in the characters in this play. From the play it can be seen that lack of thought used in exacting the revenge led to the deaths of many people including the main characters who were pursuing revenge. The writer tries to show that nobody has the ability to think well when overwhelmed by revenge. It is also clear that Hamlet had many opportunities to murder his uncle but his anger outweighed his wisdom (8).
The King of Norway on the other hand was killed by Hamlet's father in combat. The prince of Norway Fortinbras, as a result seeked revenge on Denmark. In Denmark, Hamlet was devastated by the act of her mother in marrying his father's murderer. Hamlet in his revenge mission caused the loss of many blameless people. The lesson that can be learnt from this is that revenge never ends to positive results. Attempting to kill a person in order to revenge is not the solution. This is because you may end up hurting many innocent people as it's clearly depicted from the play.
From the play, we can see that all of the awful events that happened were caused by the Hamlets desire to avenge his father's death. The concluding part of the theme is revealed with Fortinbras. Strangely, Fortinbras does not end his revenge plans on Denmark. It turned out that he was the only person who survived. From this, the reader can deduce that Shakespeare did not support revenge. Revenge in the end causes a lot of suffering to people who were not directly involved. The play Hamlet explores the theme of revenge and employs extremes to present the theme. The lesson learnt is that vengeance causes a lot of tragedy to many, both guilty and innocent (10). Revenge is portrayed as negative due to loss of innocent lives. It is also portrayed as an ineffective way of dealing with anger. | {

Sarah Ferguson has fond memories of the day she married Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew and Ferguson's youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, is walking down the aisle in October. In Ferguson's latest interview with Piers Morgan, she opened up about her wedding day an how it was stepping onto the world as a royal wife.
"Let me go back in time," Ferguson said (via Daily Express). "You are taken with such a wave of energy, that it is just mesmeric, it is just extraordinary."
"And you're so in love -- anyway, it's your wedding day," she continued. "Like every bride's wedding day, it's a special day. And you've got a beautiful dress on. But you're standing there with the man you love. And then there are people out there who are wishing you so well. And it's just extraordinary. It's just unfathomable. You can't explain it."
The Duke and Duchess of York married on July 23, 1986 at Westminster Abbey. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce, but the exes remain amicable and have nothing but praises to each other. In fact, years after they split, Ferguson said she loved the man she married.
"And when I went up that aisle, I had - I married my man," she told Piers in 2011. "I also married a sailor. And I got a prince. But my man was the most important thing for me, Piers, because nothing was more important than him."
Ferguson and Prince Andrew reportedly split after she was caught in a scandalous photo with her financial advisor, John Bryan. According to royal experts, it was the last straw.
"She was famously photographed with her financial advisor and she was wearing a bikini in some garden in the south of France and he appeared to be sucking her toes," royal biographer Penny Juror said in the documentary. "She was at Balmoral when those photographs came out. The family came down for breakfast and there was Fergie in this shocking scene and that was the end."
Many believe that this is the reason the members of the royal family are cold to the Duchess of York. In fact, she was not invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding in 2011. However, she was present at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials because the Duchess of Sussex reportedly fought the palace just to send her an invite. Prince Harry and Ferguson have a great relationship that's why the groom wanted his aunt to be there on his wedding day. | {

We're excited to introduce our Guest Family Editor for October, HATCH Collection founder, Ariane Goldman.
For our first Guest Family Editor we wanted to work with someone who supports women and understands family life, which is why we reached out to HATCH Collection founder, Ariane Goldman. For those unfamiliar with HATCH, it a chic and modern clothing line that creates clothes for before, during and after pregnancy (they are also completely wearable for women who are not pregnant at all - illustrated a few years ago by a two of Clementine's own).
We sat down with the designer, business woman and mother of two to find out more about the impetus behind HATCH, what she found most surprising about motherhood and the few words that keep her centered and grounded.
Both of your companies were born out of personal necessity. It takes a certain type of person to want to try and fill a need in any market, to what (or whom) do you attribute your courage? Did you always want to be an entrepreneur?
My background is in business, and of course in that realm you're taught to find the demand, so I think I was groomed to some degree to start a company that filled a gap, that served a need. When I was working in corporate marketing, I always wanted to make things and eventually I just decided I had the guts and had to get going, as the instinct and yearning to start my own thing wasn't going away.
What was the inspiration behind creating a line that transitions from pregnancy to postpartum (and beyond)?
Pregnancy is just one moment in the continuum of our lives as women...it's an incredible moment, but a tough one too, so it's more important than ever to have clothes and products that feel like you - like your persisting style and like luxuries that you would have found before you were pregnant and that you'll still appreciate after. The idea of buying pieces to invest in just makes sense.
Who are your personal style icons and why? Who are your business icons and why?
Donna Karan and Eileen Fisher both built incredible lifestyle brands for women. Just brilliant in every way. They saw what women needed and developed their products to meet those needs. To me, that's everything.
What are three things about becoming a parent that surprised you?
Three? The whole thing surprised me. But I was surprised by how my instincts changed, how my marriage changed, and - of course - how much I could love. Those three things were (and are) profound.
There is often a double standard when it comes to working mothers, one that focuses a lot of energy on how everything gets done and how the elusive "balance" is achieved, that does not plague male business owners. Being that you are a working mother whose company celebrates motherhood, have you found this to be true? And if so, how do you address those expectations?
I don't think there are tricks. I think every strong, working woman I know does the best she can with the resources at her disposal, and just prioritizes the things she feels aren't optional, but vital. That's certainly the only approach I know.
Do you have any personal sayings or mantras that keep you grounded or aligned?
p.s. The best nursing-friendly fashion on the market. | {

Season 3 of 'Sex Education' is a mix of hilarity and genuine commentary
Morgan Marisa
The writers of Sex Education have once again outdone themselves with the new season. It is rare to find a show that gives real, great advice while being so awkwardly funny. Amidst crop circles, flying feces and killer televisions, season three will take you on an emotional rollercoaster while including some major social commentary.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
For starters, all of your favorite characters have returned to the screen along with a few new and already beloved faces. Jason Isaacs joined as the previous headmaster's wealthy older brother who 'graciously' allows his baby bro to crash on his couch while Groff is looking for new living arrangements since his life went up in flames. Jemima Kirke portrays Hope, Moordale's spunky new headmistress who is determined to turn the infamous school into a top-notch, traditional educational facility. Last and definitely not least is Dua Saleh playing Cal, a laid-back nonbinary student who clashes with Hope and befriends Jackson.
As for the returning characters, we see their relationships struggle, change and grow throughout various conflicts throughout the course of season three. Otis dates the most popular girl in school while Maeve explores her feelings for Isaac, focuses on her friendship with Aimee and attempts to mend her mother's resentment towards her. Eric and Adam's relationship reaches new heights as they work through their different levels of comfort and insecurities. Jean deals with the hardships of being pregnant at an older age while opening her home to Jakob and Ola. Jackson is replaced by Viv as head student, as he does not agree with Hope's new initiatives for Moordale. Aimee is still coping with the aftermath of her sexual assault and how it impacts her feelings toward Steve. Of course, there are also plenty of minor side plots and characters weaved into these broad storylines.
My biggest praise for this season, along with the previous two, is that it does really well with depicting relationships and sex among people of all shapes, sizes, races, age, sexuality and identity. Traditional beliefs are almost taboo in this show as it embraces the progressive mindsets adopted by much of the youth today. Jean at one point even remarks that she is shocked at Jakob's expectations that the baby will have his last name and his assumption that if the baby is a boy, he will have a strong, masculine name.
Season three also added to the show's social commentary by introducing a nonbinary character who just wanted to be who they were without a fight or causing issues. The show has always been inclusive to all groups and addresses controversial social topics in such a casual way that it normalizes talking about these topics.
"Sex Education" is certainly not falling behind in terms of social development and it does not shy away from scenes that might make the older generation blush. Since its release on Sept. 17, ratings and media have appeared to all come to the consensus that season three is definitely worth the watch. | {

A steep fall in the stock market this summer provoked the Chinese government to act to shore up values. The subsequent volatility has highlighted the need for foreign investors to take account of the political risks of doing business in China, and not just assess the fundamentals of the business in which they invest – or face significant losses.
China's markets have had a giddy year. The Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 rose from 2,400 points in November 2014 to a high of over 5,300 in June 2015, driven uphill by a steady drumbeat of support from the state media. This hike owed much to margin borrowing by some 91 million retail investors, and bolstered efforts to recapitalise companies by raising the value of collateral.
Over the course of June and July that all changed, though. Sentiment turned, a retreat became a rout, and by late August, the market had lost all gains in 2015; as margin borrowing had goaded values uphill, now it harried them down. Volatility in daily trading has been huge, with market shifts of 8% or more on occasions.
The government was initially nonplussed, but in June decided to intervene to shore up valuations. Its initial efforts to stem the retreat were not successful, though, and so over the following months government agencies introduced ever more invasive measures, including: a decision to effectively halt IPOs; increased funding for the margin borrowing that fuelled the boom; interest rate and reserve ratio cuts; the adoption of rules that oblige purchasers to hold shares for a longer period; the suspension of trading in many stocks; the imposition of obligations on brokerages and state owned enterprises ("SOEs") to buy shares; and plans to introduce circuit breakers that limit volatility.
The necessity of such measures was not entirely clear, as share prices had risen very high, and a correction was obviously due. Even so, the PRC government feared that any stock market crash might represent a direct threat to social or economic stability. State media consequently cheered on a "national team" seeking to prop up the market.
Some financial institutions have highlighted the costs of government intervention. One U.S. investment bank estimated that the government by early September had spent more than USD236 billion; money now reduced in value and locked into the market. Nor is it only the government that has had to cough up. In early July, 21 brokerages undertook, on government suggestion, to buy shares worth 15% of their assets; more volunteered to do so, and that sum has since increased.
In addition, a media campaign against 'malicious short selling' has preceded Ministry of Public Security investigations into the securities sector. Arrests have followed of senior officials at CITIC Securities, and a journalist at Caijing Magazine, Wang Xiaolu, who confessed on television to stoking panic through his reports. The authorities also seemingly summoned Li Yifei, a senior executive at hedge fund Man Group to a meeting.
These measures have slowed the rout, but they have also affected China's stock markets. Liquidity has all but dried up at the China Financial Futures Exchange. Faith in the markets has slipped; domestic retail investors feel disappointment that the rises promised have not come to pass; and foreign investors see the intervention as a departure from market principles and has caused question as to the nature of the PRC market.
The intervention also sends some signals about broader policy. After all, these regulatory measures contradict government comments about reforms and add to confusion about statements in other areas. For instance, the government agreed in November 2013 to reform the state owned enterprises ("SOEs"), but has since merged some companies, notwithstanding the risks that consolidation will almost certainly accentuate inefficiencies.
The volatility in the stock market has thus underlined why it has never been more important for investors to take account of political risks when investing in China. Its stock markets are not like those elsewhere despite that many U.S. investment banks may have advised international investors to the contrary.
The intervention has highlighted how investors in China cannot simply examine a company's fundamentals. They must also assess government policy, paying attention as to whether sudden shifts will affect an investment's value.
The criminal investigations demonstrate how sudden regulatory changes can present serious, even criminal, risks to a business or its personnel. These risks are especially worrying as hitherto common forms of market activity including short selling, can become unacceptable overnight – and on a backdated basis.
The intervention has demonstrated how government action in China can affect sectors well beyond the target in question. One result of the stock intervention has been diminished liquidity that could result in an uptick in bad loans.
In this context, investors should monitor the policy outlook intently, and carry out thorough due diligence into a business and its principals, taking account of political and regulatory risks as much as commercial concerns. | {

After getting a preview of what was to come last year at Hopscotch Music Festival, we expected Chuck Johnson's 2013 record Crows In the Basilica to be an important part of the conversation on best guitar records of the year. That was confirmed both by Basilica's release on Three Lobed Recordings this spring, as well as by this performance at Mercury Lounge, where Chuck demonstrated that the subtle brilliance of his compositions can't be contained by the studio.
Chuck and his contemporaries are almost always categorized by the label "American Primitive", a sub genre of guitar playing shared with its progenitor John Fahey and many other worthy players, but the term "primitive" as understood by most is misleading. Rather than suggesting a simplicity or naïveté to the material, American Primitive is best understood as a recognition of the ability of these players to use highly complex guitar arrangements that link the instrument's present with its more elemental, folk-derived origins. Before venturing out as a solo player, Johnson played in well-regarded North Carolina bands like Shark Quest and the string trio Idyll Swords, but it is here where Johnson's skill on guitar is best appreciated. We hope you will enjoy this moving set of music from Johnson and be on the lookout for his future shows.
I recorded this set with Schoeps MK41 supercardiod microphones from our usual spot in the venue, plus a soundboard feed provided by Mercury team. Given that it is a recording of a single instrument, the recording heavily favors the soundboard feed, with a bit of audience mics mixed in to give a feel of the room. It is an excellent recording. Enjoy! | {

Foxwoods Resort Casino headed in a new direction Thursday, breaking ground on a 300,000-square-foot retail center.
The Mashantucket Pequot tribal casino, fresh off renegotiating sizable debt and competing for a gambling license in Massachusetts, now joins the neighboring Mohegan Sun in broadening the casino brand to include shopping.
"I call this entertainment for the non-gambling spouse," said Steven B. Tanger, president and chief executive of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. in Greensboro, N.C., which is building the outlet center.
It will offer more than 80 stores, including American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein and Nike. The total investment will be $115 million, he said.
The retail center is set to open by the 2014 Christmas season or early 2015, depending on weather, he said. It will connect two casino floors, taking advantage of 10 million to 15 million pedestrians a year.
Tanger expects 400 jobs will be created during construction and about 900 full- and part-time retail jobs will be established at the center. It's expected to pay $10.4 million in state sales tax annually.
Last June, neighboring Mohegan Sun announced plans for a $50 million retail project. Tanger said he does not believe the proximity of the two retail sites will cut into sales of his project.
The two Indian-run casinos are also competing for separate Massachusetts gambling licenses as they seek to generate more revenue.
Slot revenue has been falling steadily due to rising casino competition in the Northeast and the weak economic recovery that has cut into consumer spending.
For Foxwoods, the retail center and its drive to open a casino in Milford represent a new turn following a debt-renegotiation with creditors that an analyst said will reduce its debt from $2.27 billion to $1.74 billion. | {

THE STATISTICIAN'S GUIDE TO UTOPIA: THE FUTURE OF GROWTH

"... Abstract. In this article I paint a concise portrait of world economic and population history. Key factors include the world population and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The role of technology in relation to the environmental impact of economic activity is represented by an Environmental Efficiency ..."
GDP. In conclusion, I describe under what circumstances it is conceivable that the growth economy can persist for at least 300 more years. Directions of inquiry are offered to three groups: Those who want to maintain the growth economy for as long as possible; those who want world population to stay

The hero of this story—boo ..."

After doing so for thirty years since and advising the government of Taiwan in the 1960s and the 1970s and the government of the People's Republic of China in the 1980s and the 1990s this is an opportune moment for me to summarize the important lessons t ..."

by G. Mayo, David R. Cox

These are defined as the calculation of p-values rather than as formal procedures for "acceptance " and "rejection". A number of types of null hypo ..."

Nevertheless, even in statistical practice, debates about the different approaches to statistical analysis may influence and be influenced

Like Aurora, sleep is my destiny.
will be worth what you'll bring.
Title suggestions welcomed (as always).
"will be worth what you'll bring."
I just had a thought, why not put the last line at the beginning?
Rachna and SDR - I see what you see. Thank you for the edits!
I think there are two different poems here (stanzas 1, 4 + 5, stanzas 2 + 3), but I like them both!
Nicely done. Beautiful poem. You could play around with it. Put the first two lines last to make a completely new animal out of the one you've already fashioned--you have that freedom.
Darryl and Tim - thank you for your comments. Initially, those lines were at the end. This one has had a string of edits, and something tells me she isn't done. Now that the information is public, everyone can know this is about being pregnant for the first time. Trying to capture it metaphorically but realistically, a challenge not easy to achieve. | {

A Rector writes
The Rev. Andrew T. Gerns of Trinity Episcopal Church in Easton, Pa. has posted this insight piece on the parish blog:
"The Book of Daniel" and the Spiritual Longing of our Culture
There is a new TV show out and it is about an Episcopal priest and how he seeks to keep faith in the face of a complex family and professional life. Even before The Book of Daniel aired it made news because the story revolves around The Rev. Daniel Webster whose life is complicated to say the least. His daughter has been arrested for dealing drugs; his son is gay and deciding to give up on going to medical school. His wife is grieving the loss of their oldest son to leukemia and he, the wife and the housekeeper are all addicted to drugs or alcohol. The priests parish has experienced an embezzlement and he is at odds with is bishop. In the middle of all this, Daniel meets Jesus in his car, his office, the hallway of his house who discusses Daniel's choices and responses with him.
Everything about this pilot is written big and because of that everything, especially early in the series, is in generalities and stereotype. For example, the local catholic priest who is Fr. Daniels close friend also covers for the mafia members in his parish. The Bishop is the cynical boss-think of the police chief trying to reign in the idealistic hero. The Episcopal Church in this show is still the church of the moneyed and powerful. Everyone in the cast stands in for some issue or role in society.
They get some technical things wrong. Fr. Daniel wears his chasuble backwards-try that with a firefighter on Third Watch!- the Bishop wears a miter at the wrong time. They don't have the technical language down at all. They don't even call Fr. Daniel "Father" but "Reverend!" It should have sent me out of the room screaming. And it would have, if the show was really about the Episcopal Church. But it isn't.
The Book of Daniel is not about us. It is a lens into how our culture struggles with issues of faith, morals, ethics and spirituality in an age where we share no common language about how to "be" in the world we are in. If we think of this as a commentary on Christians in general and on the Episcopal Church in particular then we can be nothing but offended or, at least, put off. We would have nothing to do but defend ourselves or ignore it.
There is a third choice. We can listen to what the show is telling us. If we look at this series as what it is, the musings of these writers and producers-who seem to be mainly outside the church-about issues of meaning, spiritual life, and belief at the intersection of ideals and reality, then perhaps we can gain a better understanding of the needs, the pain, the hopes, the dreams and disappointments of our culture today. We Christians should listen to what The Book of Daniel is telling us about the world wishes belief in God and spirituality could do for them. Through the show, the culture is also telling us about where the Church is perceived as having failed them.
Other shows with religious themes seem to talk to the culture about what it is like to believe. Touched by Angel and even Joan of Arcadia and others try to convey what it is like to believe. Even the Mitford novels about a priest in a small Appalachian town function the same way. They are stories about what it means to be a believer, written by believers speaking both to believers (to edify) and to non-believers (to attract).
The Book of Daniel is trying something much harder. It is secular people using religious language, people and symbols to reflect on how belief functions in a society where the old language does not seem to fit anymore. In the process we are being told about how the church has failed and what we want the church to be. We see religious themes in good television and film all the time, but very few use a religious context in their stories. The creator of the series said that he wanted to avoid the usual stereotypes, so what he came up with was not an accurate portrayal of priests and their families and congregants, but a series of "anti-stereotypes." The writing is not so much about (or in reaction to) religion but our stereotypes about religion.
The good news is that, as messed up as nearly everyone is and as out of touch the church seems to be, we are being told that there is still something there. Despite all the distractions and failures, Jesus still shows up. The Jesus in this show is certainly based on the imaginings of the writers and is meant to be the imaginings of Daniel Webster-and yet God cuts through even our imaginings of God to tell us like it is.
The show goes to great pains to show us how hollow and superficial our religion can be-and yet Jesus still shows up. Usually where we least expect it.
So what is the culture-or at least the creators of this show-telling us about themselves and their view of us through The Book of Daniel?
First, as I said, they know that there is something there. In our day and age, people differentiate spirituality and religion. They are telling us that they recognize they see the depth, the spirituality and at least the potential for life transforming power underneath our ritual, politics and materialism.
Second, platitudes won't do. That Webster must supplement the sacrament with vicodan is a sign that just going through the motions by themselves won't meet the real struggles of faith, meaning and dignity in our world.
Relationship is key. This is a generation that does not find meaning in community but in relationship. Both rugged individualism and group therapy has failed but hope is found in our network of relationships. We are being shown that real strength lies in a kind of networked individualism. All the relationships in The Book of Daniel are broken and people exist in isolation. They are trying to find ways to meet and connect with one another. So the show is telling us that what people are seeking is meaningful connection with one another.
Related to this is the need for real intimacy, which requires trust, honesty and the ability to balance accountability with cutting slack. The most intimate relationship so far in the show is between Webster and Jesus-all the others are demonstrably broken. There are hints that healing can happen, but whether real intimacy happens remains to be seen.
The Book of Daniel can go one of three ways in terms of its storytelling—two ways will lead to failure and the third way might, or might not. If it is a religious Knot's Landing then it will fail. If it becomes a Touched by an Angel with attitude then it will also not succeed-although fewer religious groups may protest. But if they can keep the censors and the execs at bay long enough to let the characters develop and the story unfold.
If they can work on the details without being distracted by them, then The Book of Daniel can be one of the few secular shows about religion that actually works. Telling stories about people struggling with faith-and I hope we get to see the other characters struggle, too-in a religious context but from a secular point of view might succeed or it might fail. But we Christians should listen while we have the chance.

I have a son who when he was very young, was what we used to call 'extremely hyper'. He would not sit still; always running, yelling, jumping, and even trying to fly! He tenaciously fought sleep, wanted constant attention, and thought the world was just a large toy made especially for his amusement! I had a few extremely strenuous years trying to keep up with him! But, he was an extremely intelligent child; always trying to discover new things, always wanting to know how things worked, learning very quickly, effortlessly and easily. So, I just ignored people telling me I should have him tested for ADHD. This was a good decision, as he soon outgrew his 'hyper' behaviour, and today he is a wonderful, intelligent, focused young man.
However, this is not always the case with all hyper children. If the child is hyperactive, inattentive and impulsive to the point where this behaviour interferes with his daily life, and he does not seem to outgrow it, chances are this child has ADHD.
When a child has an out of normal range problem with over-activity, impulsiveness, and inattentiveness, the child could be diagnosed with ADHD. ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed childhood behavioral problems. It is more common among boys than girls. ADHD could be genetic, but it is not yet known what causes this problem. It generally starts early in life while the brain is developing.
Although there are no specific medical tests for ADHD, your doctor or medical professional will evaluate the child in a number of different criteria to make the ADHD diagnosis.
Once your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, what are your medical treatment options?
There is no cure for ADHD; you can only control the symptoms so that there is an improvement in the child's relationship with others, he can do better at school, and his self esteem increases. Generally, doctors prescribe Stimulants to improve ADHD symptoms. Common stimulants used are Methylphenidate Ritalin, Dextroamphetamine Dexedrine, Amphetamine Adderall, and others. Although these are stimulants, they seem to have a calming effect on the child. However, there is a major concern that stimulants become addictive, and add to the problem with long term use, so the non-stimulant treatment of choice for ADHD today is Atomoxetine Strattera.
Strattera Atomoxetine differs from stimulant medication used to treat the symptoms of ADHD. Unlike stimulants, it is not addictive, and so is not classified as a 'controlled substance'. Strattera (Atomoxetine) takes a bit longer to show results, perhaps a couple of weeks or more, but once it starts working, one or at the most two doses a day are sufficient to control the symptoms for 24 hours.
Strattera Atomoxetine is classified a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and is preferred over stimulant drugs for ADHD patients who have psychiatric disorders or a predisposition to substance abuse. Another benefit of this drug is that even if discontinued, there is no system rebound.
Stimulant drugs are not recommended for ADHD patients who suffer from nervous disorders like facial tics, spasms, etc. In such cases Strattera Atomoxetine is obviously the better choice.
A possible side effect could be a slower growth rate in the child taking Atomoxetine, but it is not known whether this is permanent.
The patient must be observed very carefully for signs of depression, suicidal thoughts, or self-injury.
Strattera Atomoxetine can cause liver damage.
In conclusion, if your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, Strattera Atomoxetine seems to be a safer alternative to using Stimulants. But remember, that while stimulants start working within 20 minutes of taking them making them easier to abuse, Strattera Atomoxetine takes a couple of weeks to start showing results. This makes many parents feel frustrated, and return to giving their children stimulant drugs.
Along with ADHD medication, there is a lot that parents can do to help the child channel his energy in a positive manner. If you are the parent of a child with ADHD, first of all, keep things in perspective. Do not let the small things get to you, and try to avoid being a perfectionist. Expecting perfect results will just frustrate you as well as your child.
Show your child you love him, trust him, and believe in him. After all, love can move mountains. It can also give you the strength to deal with the problems you may encounter with having a child with ADHD. | {

Yours Humanly Names Walnut Creek Teen Recipient of Children Have the Power to Empower® Award
Quarterly award recognizes outstanding acts of goodness performed by young people
By: Yours Humanly
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Nov. 29, 2021 - PRLog -- Yours Humanly, a global nonprofit that transforms the lives of children in need around the world by providing access to quality education and equitable resources, has named a Northern California teen a 2021 recipient of its Children Have the Power to Empower® Award, which recognizes children for their outstanding acts of goodness that make a significant difference in the lives of others.
Seena Farhadi, 17, of Walnut Creek, California, received the Children Have the Power to Empower® Award for the outstanding acts of goodness he performs on behalf of children in need through LEAP, the Learning Enrichment and Assistance Program he founded in January 2021. The high school senior works with organizations such as Homeless Outreach Program for Education and Foster Youth Services to pair tutors with homeless and foster youth in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District (Contra Costa County) who are struggling academically and in need of support and mentoring. In so doing, he is giving these students access to resources and opportunities they would not otherwise have. He has plans to expand the program to include a summer camp for homeless youth and a speaker series tackling topics relevant to both homelessness and the foster care system, kickstarting an important community dialogue about educational equity and the needs of homeless and foster youth.
"We commend Seena for his compassion and extraordinary efforts on behalf of others," says Yours Humanly Founder & CEO Sunny Singh. "Our Children Have the Power to Empower award recipients are making a profound difference in the lives of others and we must encourage them to continue to do what they can to ease life's journey for those who struggle."
Award recipients receive a personalized certificate and medal, and are profiled on the Yours Humanly website and through social media. To read more about award recipients and their meaningful work and to nominate a child for the Children Have the Power to Empower Award, visit www.YoursHumanly.org and click on the Power to Empower tab.

Firm Offers Express Rate For Partial Loads
| By Scott Payne |
Two Local Firms Rate Best Of Show
Firm Offers Film That Cuts Energy Bills And Eye Strain
Firm Offers A Broad Tech Program
GRAND RAPIDS — Universal Traffic Service Inc. (UTS), which calls itself a provider of third-party logistics, last month introduced a service that it says gives many manufacturers a new in-state shipping option.
Ray Chester, the president of UTS, says the name of the service pretty much tells the story: Less-Than-Truckload Express (LTX).
He said the new service fills a gap between two primary transportation options that common carrier trucking companies offer.
Chester said that manufacturers who use common carriers can ship product across the state using either Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) service, where delivery occurs the next day, or expedited service, where a truck picks up only the partial shipment and immediately drives it to its destination.
The problem with expedited LTL service, Chester indicated, is that its cost usually is about five times that of ordinary LTL.
Enter Less-Than-Truckload Express, which, Chester says, offers same-day freight delivery at a significant discount from the cost of expedited delivery.
Chester explains that rather than dedicate one truck for each partial shipment, his firm arranges for a carrier to consolidate multiple shipments from one metro area onto a single truck, which then drives them to a second metro area where it disperses them to their several locations.
UTS owns no trucks of its own. Rather it brokers freight hauling, dealing with up to 1,000 carriers a week and scores of thousands during the year.
The firm's vice president of operations, Bill Klotz, told the Business Journal that the firm has toyed for years with the notion of providing LTX service. But with the recession and the impact of Sept. 11, many of the firm's shipping clients began feeling a serious cost pinch.
"So we decided to try it," he said. "It more or less grew out of necessity."
"We believe there's a distinct market for manufacturers who have urgent shipment requirements, but who want to pay less than the expedite rate," Chester said.
"By waiting a little longer for delivery, these manufacturers can save $100 or more."
Klotz explained that the company designated one of its staff as its LTX coordinator, and it's the coordinator's job to watch the company's Load Board — a display which lists carriers, loads and destinations — for opportunities to consolidate partial shipments.
"He keeps his eye on the board when information starts popping up on the board early in the morning. And when the opportunities arise, he gets carriers to move around to consolidate loads."
Klotz said the board reflects loadings on both sides of the state, so that UTS can arrange shipments from each side of the state to the other.
Currently UTS offers LTX service between the Grand Rapids metro area (which includes all the lakeshore communities from Muskegon to Holland) and the Detroit metro area.
Klotz explained that while first consolidating a full load and then later dispersing it to disparate locations makes each shipment's transit longer than if it were expedited service, it nonetheless enables UTS to price LTX service significantly below expedite rates.
He also said that if some manufacturer notifies UTS a few days ahead of time that it will have a partial load, then it's often possible to work out an even better rate.
"We're in the business of buying and selling transportation," he said. "So the earlier we have that information, the better we can do."
Chester said UTS guarantees delivery before 8 p.m. the same day on all LTX shipments that are called in by 10 a.m.
Though headquartered in Grand Rapids, UTS operates regional service centers in Atlanta and Denver.
What now is UTS was founded in 1979 as a transportation auditing firm. It became a logistics operation nine years ago and currently is doing about $30 million in business a year.

Inside this issue: Farms and the Future of Food in BC Hunger, Poverty and Food Security: Rethinking Social Policy?
(Vancouver) A new study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that BC's income tax cuts concentrated dollars in Greater Vancouver, already the wealthiest part of the province, while smaller communities are being hit hardest by the spending cuts.
(Vancouver) BC's provincial government received a warning today from researchers who say its package of new welfare rules is radical and unprecedented, and will cause unacceptable hardship and upheaval in communities across BC. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) and the Social Planning and Research Council of BC (SPARC BC) joined with anti-poverty advocates at a news conference this morning to release A Bad Time to be Poor: An analysis of British Columbia's new welfare policies. It is the first comprehensive review of the full package of policy changes. | {

David Davis backs campaign for new grammar schools in England across the papers
As reported in the Sunday Telegraph:
Leading Tories call for more grammar schools pledge in next manifesto;
Senior MPs including Graham Brady, Dominic Raab and David Davis back Conservative Voice campaign calling for an election manifesto pledge to repeal ban on new selective grammar schools in England
A new wave of grammar schools should be opened across England to give more families access to the best state education, according to senior Conservative MPs.
Leading figures in the party will this week launch a campaign calling for an expansion of grammar schools to be included in the Tory manifesto for next year's general election.
David Cameron and his education ministers have so far resisted calls to repeal a ban on the opening of new grammar schools, which select pupils on the basis of their academic ability through the "11-plus" exam.
But the grassroots Tory group, Conservative Voice, is building support among backbench MPs for a change in policy which it says would be popular with millions of middle-class parents.
There are 164 grammars in England. The best dominate secondary school league tables for exam performance, as their pupils outshine their peers in fee-paying private schools.
This academic success has made grammars, which are free as part of the state education system, hugely popular with parents and they are often over-subscribed.
In the 1970s, councils were given the power to decide whether selective grammar in their areas should remain open, with the result that many were closed.
Tony Blair's Labour government passed a law banning any more grammar schools from opening and many Labour MPs want to close those that remain.
Leading Tory MPs and grassroots activists believe this law should be scrapped and Conservative Voice is calling for "a clear commitment to reverse the legislation" in next year's manifesto.
The campaign is being backed by Graham Brady, the most senior Tory backbencher in the Commons, who chairs the party's 1922 Committee, which oversees leadership elections.
He said the closure of grammar schools had severely damaged social mobility, entrenching the advantages of expensive private education across society.
"As most local authorities got rid of their grammar schools we have seen social mobility take a nose dive," he said. "We have seen far fewer people from state educated backgrounds in law, the upper reach of the civil service, the judiciary and indeed in politics."
David Davis, the former shadow home secretary, said grammar schools had given Britain "one of the best educational outcomes in the world" during much of the 20th century.
"We generated large numbers of Nobel Prize winners, we were fantastic leaders in science, and other disciplines, much more so than a country of 60 million has a right to expect. It was a huge success and a tragedy when we got rid of them."
Dominic Raab, a member of the education select committee, is also backing the campaign.
"There's no silver bullet to reviving stagnant social mobility in Britain," he said. "But grammar schools are a key piece of the policy jig-saw, creating a ladder of opportunity for talented and hard-working youngsters from council estates and rural backwaters."
The law bans the opening of new grammar schools but there is scope to allow existing schools to expand. Earlier this month, Theresa May, the Home Secretary, backed plans to consider the opening of a new "satellite" campus for a grammar school in her constituency of Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Don Porter, the founder of Conservative Voice, said: "Our followers are strongly of the opinion that new grammar schools will both enhance social mobility and present parents with choice, both of which lie at the heart of the Conservative Party's values."
Conservative ministers have previously praised grammar schools for the outstanding results as well as their educational ethos, which refuses to put a limit on the ambitions of local children.
Many of the most popular grammar schools attract 10 applications for every place.
In recent years, a growing number of parents have hired private tutors to help coach their children to pass the 11-plus entrance exam.
As reported in the Mail on Sunday:
Senior Tory MPs to tell PM to clear path for new grammar schools: Graham Brady and David Davis among those supporting campaign
Senior Conservative MPs will next week challenge David Cameron to clear the way for a new generation of grammar schools.
The chairman of the influential 1922 committee, Graham Brady, and former leadership contender David Davis are among those supporting the campaign, the Daily Mail has learned.
At present, the law forbids new grammar schools, whose intake is based on selection according to academic ability – only allowing existing institutions to open 'satellites' in new locations.
Theresa May, the home secretary, and Michael Fallon, the defence secretary, have broken ranks to back plans for new satellite grammar school campuses in their constituencies.
The option is being attempted by Conservative councillors in Kent, where Weald of Kent girls' grammar school in Tonbridge has applied to open a site nine miles away in Sevenoaks.
But a poll this week showed that 54 per cent of voters say that they would support entirely new grammar schools in areas where there was evidence parents wanted them, such as petitions in support.
Don Porter, founder of Conservative Voice, the party pressure group which is behind the new campaign, said: 'We want to ensure that in the Conservative Party manifesto there is a clear commitment to reverse the legislation preventing the creation of new grammar schools.
'Our followers are strongly of the opinion that new grammar schools will both enhance social mobility and present parents with choice, both of which lie at the heart of the Conservative Party's values.'
Mr Brady, a former frontbencher, said the closure of selective grammars 'is one of the things which is building a less cohesive society'.
Mr Davis, the former shadow home secretary, said: 'They [grammar schools] are still a motor for social mobility but nothing like as good as it used to be. That is all down to, I am afraid, a massive failure in public policy, a massive failure in confidence in high quality education for bright kids.'
Esher and Walton MP Dominic Raab, a member of the Commons education select committee, said: 'There's no silver bullet to reviving stagnant social mobility in Britain. But grammar schools are a key piece of the policy jigsaw, creating a ladder of opportunity for talented and hard-working youngsters from council estates and rural backwaters.'
Research for Conservative Voice found 84 per cent of people said that grammar schools are a valuable asset to the British education system. Some 80 per cent believe that grammar schools make the education system fairer.
Two thirds of parents say they would enter their child for an 11+ exam and send them to a grammar school if they passed.
David Cameron has long resisted calls to pledge to expand selective schooling in the Tory manifesto. The architects of the coalition's school reforms hoped that controversy over grammar schools in the party could be put to rest by focusing on all-ability academies and free schools.
In the 1970s, Margaret Thatcher – herself a grammar school girl – allowed local councils to decide themselves whether their schools should remain selective grammars when she was the education secretary.
It proved to be a political misjudgment, since many councils took the opportunity to end selective state education.
There are now around 160 grammar schools left in England – mostly in the home counties. | {

Mom just got finished taking Luke to his 4 month checkup and he is doing just fine. This time he was checked out by his real doctor and not the med student they have on staff. Luke received a few vaccinations that he wasn't a fan of but cheered back up soon after they were done.
Luke's height and weight continue to increase at an astounding rate.
At his last checkup at 2 months Luke weighed 16 lbs and was 23 3/4 inches tall. That means in two months time he gained 5 lbs and grew three inches. The doctor said that even though his weight is off the charts she is pleased that his height increased to the 95th% from the 75th% two months ago. She went on to say that babies hit their peak around 4 - 6 months and that his weight gain should level off soon.
So what does this mean? Well I guess Mom and I are going to have to shop for a car seat this weekend. The limits of his current seat are 29 inches in length and 22 lbs in weight. So we have 2 1/4 inches and 1 lb until he out grows his seat.
In closing Luke is one of the biggest and heaviest babies ever. At least as far as statistics are concerned. I'm confident that his weight will level off. He is going longer between bottles and eating less when he gets one. You can't continue to add weight with less energy going in and more energy going out. | {

Hacker Leaks New "Orange Is The Black"
"Orange Is the New Black" is in the midst of a real-life criminal plan. A hacker, known as "the dark overlord," has released the first 10 episodes of the upcoming fifth season after Netflix refused to pay him.
The episodes were put on the file-sharing site the Pirate Bay. What's more, this may not be the last we hear from the dark overlord. He claims he also has more unreleased shows from ABC, Fox, National Geographic, and IFC.
"We're quite ashamed to breathe the same air as you," the hacker writes of Netflix. "We figured a pragmatic business such as yourselves would see and understand the benefits of cooperating with a reasonable and merciful entity like ourselves." As for the other networks, the dark overlord says "there's still time to save yourselves. Our offer(s) are still on the table — for now."
"Orange is the New Black" is scheduled to hit Netflix on June 9th. | {

— японская компьютерная игра для аркадных автоматов, разработанная и выпущенная в 1987 году компанией Tecmo. Изначально предназначалась исключительно для аркадных автоматов, однако наибольшую известность получила в 1989 году после портирования на приставку Nintendo Entertainment System. Версию для NES часто называют в числе первых игр консоли, посвящённых американскому футболу, с настоящими командами и игроками Национальной футбольной лиги. Технически самой первой была NFL Football от компании LJN, но она не имела такого большого успеха как Tecmo Bowl. В 2004 году игру адаптировали для мобильных телефонов, в 2007-м — североамериканская версия была загружена в сервис Virtual Console, где её можно скачать для последующей игры на приставке Wii (в 2009 году там появилась и оригинальная аркадная версия).
Версии
Версия для аркадных автоматов имела довольно необычный геймплей, происходящее отображалось на двух экранах, одновременно участвовать могли четыре игрока, а выбор сторон ограничивался всего двумя вымышленными командами: «Уайлдкэтс» и «Бульдогс». Порт для NES сократил количество игроков до двух, стали доступными такие режимы как «один игрок», «два игрока» и «тренер». Первый подразумевает серию матчей выбранной игроком команды против искусственного интеллекта, второй — единичный матч одного игрока против другого игрока, тогда как третий позволяет делать указания, не принимая непосредственного участия в игре.
Сиквелы
Tecmo Bowl имеет ряд ответвлений и продолжений, составляя серию из нескольких похожих игр. Среди них такие спортивные симуляторы как Tecmo Bowl Throwback, Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff, Tecmo Super Bowl, Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition и Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition — все они так же посвящены американскому футболу.

With $130 million burning a hole in its pocket, Manchester United set out to sign a thoroughly modern midfielder this summer, the kind of player who could change the team overnight. The club found a perfect specimen in 23-year-old Frenchman Paul Pogba.
His runs eat up acres at a time. He tackles at one end of the field and sets up goals at the other. He scores from 30 yards out. His haircuts can be seen from space.

In 1952, Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian who moved to Paris, founded the French fashion brand Chloé. Chloé was the first fashion house to ever produce ready-to-wear clothing, when haute couture, made to measure clothing was the norm among the fashion-conscious elite. She called this concept prêt-à-porter, and while we're used to this today, at the time it was a very new concept. The brand is managed by Richemont Group, a company that owns and manages a number of luxury brands worldwide. In addition to ready-to-wear clothing lines for women and kids, accessories like handbags and shoes, and of course fragrances. Chloé eaux de toilette like Chloé Love and Chloé See are worn by women the world over, | {

The changing nature of "ecstasy" highlighted in new Global SMART Update
Latest news The changing nature of "ecstasy" highlighted in new Global SMART Update
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has released its latest SMART report. The global SMART reports provide regular updates regarding the drug phenomenon around the world.
The special segment addresses the changing nature of the content of drugs sold as "ecstasy". It provides a description and an outline of the history of MDMA, its precursors and its mechanism of action and the changing content of "ecstasy". Finally, regional differences in "ecstasy" composition are presented.
MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) was the original chemical found in pills sold as ecstasy and the two names have been used interchangeably. However, more and more substances under international control as well as new psychoactive substances (NPS) have been identified as components of pills sold as "ecstasy". Chemical analyses of "ecstasy" pills around the world have revealed that their composition is rather diverse, varying from products with MDMA as the sole psychoactive substance, through mixtures of MDMA with other psychoactive substances or other psychoactive substances alone.
The Update also covers the latest developments in the illicit manufacture of ecstasy in Europe and the increasing use of ecstasy in powdered or crystal form, which is reported to be rapidly gaining prominence.
The document can be downloaded here. More information can be found on the UNODC website. | {

Supporting Lebanon's cultural heritage as a driver of job creation and local economic development
The Cultural Heritage and Urban Development project is helping preserve the heritage of 5 historic cities in Lebanon through renewing infrastructure, opening ways to creative business opportunities and helping grow the economy.
With a population of 4.5 million people, Lebanon is struggling to meet the needs of 1.5 million Syrian refugees pouring over its borders. Lebanon is no stranger to political and economic upheavals but the Syrian crisis began at a pivotal point in Lebanon's economic recovery.
In 2010, the World Travel and Tourism Council noted that Lebanon was the fastest growing destination in the world with about 40 percent growth in tourism arrivals and over 2 million visitors to the country. Lebanon prides itself on its rich history of landmark thousands of years old heritage sites and stunning landscapes, as well as a hospitable culture that welcomes people from around the world.
However, by 2013, due to regional tensions and security concerns, Lebanon witnessed a 43 percent drop in tourism arrivals and a dramatic shift in focus from promising economic recovery to mitigating a growing humanitarian crisis.
"These dramatic times have not diminished the Lebanese perseverance and dedication to culture. We remain committed to conserving cultural heritage and the centrality of tourism in our socio-economic development," says Nabil A. El-Jsir, President of Lebanon's Council for Development and Reconstruction.
Caracalla Dance Theatre - 60th Baalbeck International Festival.

This summer, Baalbeck, a town in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, will host the Baalbeck International Festival, a cultural tradition that started 60 years ago, in the magnificent Bacchus temple at the site of the ancient Roman city of Heliopolis. The Bacchus temple, among the greatest achievements of roman architecture, was conserved as part of a project that supported cultural heritage and urban development in key secondary cities in Lebanon.
Since 2003, the World Bank Group, in partnership with the Government of Lebanon, the Government of Italy and the Agence Française de Développement have been jointly supporting such ambitious program, focused on five historic cities: Baalbeck, Byblos, Saida, Tripoli and Tyre.
Densely populated neighborhoods in these historic cities, dotted with world-class heritage assets, have been successfully regenerated and rehabilitated offering communities the opportunities to develop the local economy and generate employment, especially among youth and women. The project has made substantive contributions to infrastructure and basic services, as well as institutional reforms leading to enhanced management of sites, which leveraged their economic potential.
Private sector has played a key role over the years. For instance, in Byblos, for each dollar invested through the project, 7 dollars of private investment have been secured, all in locally owned small and medium enterprises.
Promoting engagement at the local level has meant leveraging local expertise, while also sharing best practices from the international community.
"The World Bank Group collaborated closely with UNESCO in Lebanon, helping local authorities improve conservation and management of cultural assets, and fully explore the potential of cultural heritage as a force for social inclusion and economic development in local communities," says Ede Jorge Ijjasz-Vasquez, GSURR Senior Director.
Results in terms of improved service delivery, local economic development and social cohesion are significant. The regeneration of the historic cities throughout the country have contributed to safer downtowns, enriched with new commercial activities such as boutique hotels. A new legislation focused on modernizing heritage management will allow cultural assets to become engines of local economic development.
"Cultural heritage keeps alive people's and nations' memory. Lebanon is rich by its culture and by the depth of its civilization. This project contributes to preserving that heritage through renewing infrastructure, opening ways to creative business opportunities and helping grow the economy," said Ferid Belhaj, Country Director for the Middle East.
Implementation has been supported by a wide network of staff, structured in a Knowledge Silo Breaker on Culture, Heritage and Sustainable Tourism, one of the new tools rolled out by senior management to promote knowledge and exchange of good practices across the World Bank Group.

Q: "Kolmogorov complexity" of models of computation This question was partly inspired by my learning about John Tromp's binary lambda calculus and similar minimal languages such as Jot. A more detailed discussion of some of these ideas is in Michael Stay's paper Very Simple Chaitin Machines for Concrete AIT [algorithmic information theory].
A Chaitin machine is a partial recursive function whose inputs and outputs (when defined) are finite binary strings, such that the viable input strings - which can be thought of as "programs", and need not give an output - form a prefix-free code. In other words, if $s$ and $st$ are viable programs, where $st$ denotes the concatenation of $s$ and $t$, then $t$ is the null string. For more detailed discussion see Stay's paper linked above. The set of Chaitin machines is obviously countable; let $m_i$ denote the $i$th machine according to some indexing (the details should be unimportant), and $m_i(s)$ the result of running program $s$ on machine $m_i$.
A Chaitin machine $m_i$ is said to be universal if for every Chaitin machine $m_j$ there is a program $int_{i,j}$ such that $m_i(int_{i,j}s) = m_j(s)$ for every program $s$. $int_{i,j}$ is called an interpreter for $m_j$ in $m_i$. Universal Chaitin machines are known to exist, but note that being universal as a Chaitin machine is stronger than being a Chaitin machine which is Turing-complete: $m_i$ must be able to interpret every $m_j$ with constant overhead.
Let $C_i(s)$ denote the Kolmogorov complexity of the string $s$ in the machine $m_i$: that is, the length in bits of the shortest program in $m_i$ which outputs $s$. If $m_i$ is universal then the dependence of $C_i(s)$ on $m_i$ is effectively an additive constant independent of $s$: that is, if $I_{i,j}$ is the length of a shortest interpreter for $m_j$ in $m_i$ then $C_i(s) \le I_{i,j} + C_j(s)$.
I am interested in the behaviour of $I_{i,j}$ as a function of (especially) $j$. My intuition is this: in any given $m_i$ which is universal, it is certainly possible to devise an artificially long program which behaves as an interpreter for some $m_j$; and it's conceivable to me that there could be a "pseudo-uniform" way to come up with some particular $m_j$ (dependent on $m_i$) such that all interpreters for $m_j$ in $m_i$ must be long, i.e. $I_{i,j}$ must be large. Is it then true that some $m_j$ will "usually" need a longer interpreter in the various $m_i$ than will another $m_{j_0}$? In other words, are some universal Chaitin machines inherently "more complex" than others? Or if not, is there at least a way to describe some of the local and global properties of the "asymmetric distance" function $I$?
My feeling is that there should be some meaningful "absolute" sense in which machines such as those in Stay's paper can be considered simple, but this might be hard to pin down...
(Wasn't quite sure how to tag this one; feel free to change some of the tags.)
There was originally an extra question, which I'd still be interested in addressing if it can be made precise:
Consider the class of Turing-equivalent models of computation whose
programs and data are encoded as finite binary strings. Any such model
lives in a countable equivalence class of models which have (finite)
interpreters for each other; we can restrict ourselves to considering
the countable class containing some familiar model.
(As an aside, I'm not sure how or if one could explicitly describe a
model not belonging to this familiar class. Could there be some sort
of diagonalization argument which allows one to ensure
Turing-equivalence of the result? Or are there really only countably
many such models in the first place...? Maybe this deserves its own
question, but I suspect the answer's completely trivial once the right
concepts are formulated.)

Most Earnings Top Estimates on Mixed Advisor-Headcount News
Bank of America reported net income of $6.2 billion, or $0.56 per share, for the third quarter vs. a net loss of $7.3 billion, or $0.77 per share, last year topping analysts estimates by a wide margin. Revenue, net of interest expense (and calculated on a fully taxable-equivalent basis)...
By Janet Levaux | November 23, 2011 at 07:00 PM | Originally published on Research Magazine
Bank of America reported net income of $6.2 billion, or $0.56 per share, for the third quarter vs. a net loss of $7.3 billion, or $0.77 per share, last year — topping analysts' estimates by a wide margin. Revenue, net of interest expense (and calculated on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) rose 6 percent to $28.7 billion.
Its global-wealth operations, no longer led by Sallie Krawcheck, reported year-over-year increases in revenue and net income, as the total number of advisors at Merrill Lynch grew by about 500 to 16,722 on the expansion of the Merrill Edge platform. Sequentially, the unit reported slightly lower sales and profits vs. the second quarter of 2011.
"This quarter's results reflect several actions we took that highlight our ongoing transformation toward becoming a leaner, more focused company," said CEO Brian Moynihan in a press release. "The diversity and depth in our customer and client offerings provided some resiliency in a very challenging environment."
The unit, now led by BofA co-CEO David Darnell, saw its net income rise 29 percent from the year-ago quarter to $347 million, which was a 31 percent decline from the second quarter of 2011 (due to a higher provision for credit losses and other factors). The wealth-management unit had a return on average equity of 7.72 percent in the most recent quarter, which is up from 5.91 percent a year ago, but down from 11.54 percent in the second quarter.
Revenue was $4.2 billion, an increase of about 9 percent year over year, driven by higher asset management fees, net interest income, and transactional activity; sales moved down 6 percent from the second quarter. Sales at Merrill Lynch improved 8 percent from last year to $3.43 billion, but dropped 2 percent from the second quarter.
Client balances, or assets, for the overall wealth-management unit were $2.06 trillion, down about 3 percent from the year-ago quarter and 6 percent from the previous quarter. Balances in Merrill Lynch accounts stood at $1.45 trillion on Sept. 30, a drop of 1 percent from last year and a decline of 6 percent from the previous quarter.
Net asset inflows in Q3'11, though, were $1.9 billion for the wealth-management unit vs. outflows of $2.6 billion a year ago and inflows of $764 million in Q2'11 and $7.5 billion in Q1'11.
The number of total client-facing associates stood at 21,554 as of Sept. 30, up from 20,011 a year ago and 20,833 in the previous quarter. The number of wealth advisors is now 18,488 vs. 16,988 last year and 17,823 last quarter. U.S. Trust includes 2,271 financial professionals.
Advisors with Merrill Lynch number 16,722, up by more than 1,000 from 15,486 a year ago and 16,247 in the second quarter. Much of this increase is from hiring for the Merrill Edge platform, which focuses on mass-affluent clients being serviced through bank branches and call centers.
BofA says that the productivity of Merrill Lynch financial advisors, excluding those with Merrill Edge, is about $854,000 in yearly fees and commissions based on the third quarter's results — down 4 percent from last quarter, but up 1 percent from last year. For the nine months ending Sept. 30, Merrill advisor production is averaging $892,000 in yearly fees and commissions, up 7 percent from the first nine months of 2010.
Morgan Stanley said it had third-quarter net income of $2.2 billion, or $1.14 per share, from continuing operations compared with income of $314 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period a year ago, beating analysts' estimates.
Net revenues were $9.9 billion for the current quarter compared with $6.8 billion a year ago. Results for the quarter included revenue of $3.4 billion, or $1.12 per share, compared with negative revenue of $731 million a year ago related to changes in Morgan Stanley's debt-related credit spreads and other credit factors, such as a debt valuation adjustment.
For the current quarter, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley, including discontinued operations, was $1.15 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.07 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2010.
"Morgan Stanley effectively navigated turbulent markets while consolidating our market share gains with institutional clients and demonstrating resilience across the global wealth-management business as evidenced by record net new assets flows since the formation of MSSB," said President and CEO James P. Gorman, in a statement.
The wealth-management unit — which continues to prune lower-producing advisors — had pre-tax income from continuing operations of $362 million in the third quarter, up 12 percent from the previous quarter and 29 percent from the year-ago period. Income after the non-controlling interest allocation to Citigroup for the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, $52 million, and before taxes was $310 million. Net income after these adjustments and taxes was $169 million in the third quarter, representing a 6 percent drop from the second quarter but a 17 percent increase for the year-ago period.
Net revenues of $3.3 billion declined 6 percent from last quarter but increased 5 percent from $3.1 billion a year ago "primarily reflecting higher asset management revenues and commissions partly offset by net losses from investments associated with the firm's deferred compensation and co-investment plans," the company said in a press release.
Revenues from commissions and fees were $670 million in the period ended September 30 vs. $689 million in the second quarter, representing a decline of 3 percent, and $564 million in the year-ago quarter, accounting for a jump of 19 percent. Sales from asset-management, distribution and related activities totaled $1.78 billion in the third quarter, a slight drop from the second quarter and an increase of 16 percent from last year.
Advisors, Assets
The number of financial advisors in Morgan Stanley Smith Barney was 17,291 as of Sept. 30, a 2 percent drop from 17,638 on June 30 and a 5 percent decline from 18,119 a year ago. Assets under management per Morgan Stanley FA averaged $90 million in the third quarter, down from $97 million in the second quarter but up from $88 million for the year-ago quarter.
Total assets under management for Morgan Stanley's wealth-management unit were $1.56 trillion as of Sept. 30 vs. $1.71 trillion in Q2 and $1.60 trillion a year ago. (Merrill Lynch said its total AUM was $1.54 trillion in the third quarter.)
Net new retail assets ballooned to $15.5 billion in the third quarter from $2.9 billion last quarter and $5 billion a year ago. Fee-based net new assets were $10.1 billion as of Sept. 30 vs. $9.7 billion as of June 30 and $4.8 billion in the year-earlier period.
This represents average net new assets per FA of $896,420 overall and fee-based net new assets per FA of $584,119, up from $164,000 and $549,949 respectively in the second quarter and $275,953 and $264,915 a year ago. Average annualized revenue (or fees and commissions) per advisor totaled $747,000 vs. $785,000 in the second quarter and $686,000 in the third quarter of 2010.
(Rival Merrill Lynch reported that it had 16,722 financial advisors as of Sept. 30, each with about $854,000 in average yearly fees and commissions based on the third quarter's results.)
Wells Fargo reported third-quarter earnings of 72 cents a share on net income of $4.1 billion, missing analysts' estimates by a penny but beating last year's earnings of 60 cents a share on net income $3.3 billion by 20 percent. Overall revenues for Wells Fargo declined 6 percent to $19.63 billion in the most recent period from $20.87 billion in the year-ago quarter. The San Francisco-based bank also revealed that its advisor headcount and asset levels have fallen slightly since the second quarter of 2011.
"We can't change the economic environment, yet we have worked hard to control the variables we can," said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf in a statement. "The economic recovery has been more sluggish and uneven than anyone anticipated."
Wells Fargo's wealth, brokerage and retirement (WBR) unit reported net income of $291 million, up 14 percent from $256 million a year ago but down 13 percent, or $42 million, from $333 million in the second quarter of 2011. Revenue dropped 6 percent sequentially to $2.9 billion and 1 percent year over year.
Wells Fargo Advisors had client assets of $1.1 trillion as of Sept. 30, a 3 percent drop from last year. However, the company says it also experienced "strong deposit growth in the third quarter, with average balances up $11 billion," or 14 percent, from the prior year. Also, managed account assets increased $20 billion, or 9 percent from the year-ago period.
The unit, which completed the sale of H.D. Vest Financial Services business on Oct. 3, says it now has 15,188 financial advisors and 3,590 licensed bankers — or a total of 18,778. In the second quarter, WFA had 15,194 advisors and roughly 3,800 bankers — representing 18,789 professionals administering some $1.2 trillion dollars. (It had 15,236 FAs and 3,958 bankers in Q1 of 2011.) The latest tally puts it behind rivals Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch in its advisor headcount, but ahead of UBS in the Americas.
Despite highly publicized losses from the actions of a rogue trader, Swiss-based UBS reported better-than-expected third-quarter profits on Tuesday of 1.018 billion Swiss francs, or 0.27 Swiss francs per share, vs. profits of 828 million Swiss francs, or 0.47 Swiss francs per share, a year ago. In the second quarter, the bank had profits of 1.654 billion Swiss francs, or 0.26 Swiss francs a share. Net new money from clients worldwide was 4.9 billion Swiss francs, up from 1.2 billion Swiss francs a year ago but down from 8.7 billion Swiss francs in the previous quarter.
Third quarter net new money for the U.S.-based wealth-management operations, led by Bob McCann, was 4.0 billion Swiss francs (or $4.5 billion) compared with 2.6 billion Swiss francs in the second quarter and 0.3 billion Swiss francs a year ago. These figures exclude dividends and interest. Year-to-date net new money was $11.6 billion as of Sept. 30 versus outflows of $9 billion in the first nine months of 2010.
"Financial advisors employed with UBS for more than one year and net recruiting of financial advisors contributed to the improvement in net new money," the bank said in a statement.
Net new money at UBS Americas' wealth-management unit, including dividends and interest, was $9.5 billion, up 20 percent from $7.9 billion in Q2 and up 102 percent from $4.7 billion in Q3'10. At rival Morgan Stanley, these figures were $15.5 billion in Q3'11, $2.9 billion in Q2'11 and $5 billion in Q3'10.
The number of financial advisors in the unit rose to 6,913 compared with 6,862 in the second quarter and 6,783 a year ago. Client assets for the group, though, dropped to 686 billion Swiss francs ($776 billion) vs. 694 billion Swiss francs ($785 billion) in the previous quarter and 743 billion Swiss francs ($841 billion) in the same quarter of 2010.
Yearly fees and commissions per advisor at UBS Americas averaged $895,000 per FA in 3Q, up 1 percent from $884,000 in Q2, and up 14 percent from $782,000 in Q3'10. According to UBS, this puts the unit ahead of peers at Merrill Lynch ($854,000), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney ($747,000) and Wells Fargo ($612,000). The Swiss-based investment bank says it was the only U.S. wirehouse firm to report growth in revenue per FA, or production, in Q3 vs. Q2.
In terms of assets under management per FA, UBS Americas averaged $103 million, compared to $90 million for Merrill Lynch, $90 million at Morgan Stanley and $69 million at Wells Fargo. •

Report on the current work of the government: political, economic and social development, and the peace process
Submitted by cwmpo4 on Thu, 09/20/2018 - 11:03
Following is the full text of the report delivered by Union Minister U Kyaw Tint Swe duringthe Pyidaungsu Hluttaw meeting yesterday:
SPEAKER of Pyidaungsu Hluttaw and all members of Parliament, I wish you all good health, wealth and prosperity.
In accordance with Article 228(B) of the 2008 Constitution, and the invitation dated 3 September 2018, I present this report on the work of the elected government to the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw.
Now is the time to reconstruct the nation to make it a peaceful, stable and strong one. At the same time, effort is being exerted to build up a Union in which the justice, freedom and equality aspired since attainment of independence will prevail. In addition to the prevalence of natural justice, equal rights in respect of political, economic and social justice shall prevail. The Union we are building shall be one which is pure in ideology and which is cherished by all.
Additionally, efforts are also being taken to develop our democratic transition into a mature democracy. In fact, these three processes are not to be implemented separately, but all together. This is what the government would like to emphasise.
In the process of establishing a peaceful, prosperous and resilient nation, we must take account of the need to strengthen the mechanisms and institutions of government. It is of paramount importance to uphold rule of law, ensure the mental and physical wellbeing of our citizens, provide for equality of taxation, deliver basic services to our people, including education, health and social services, transportation, communication and infrastructure development, and to strengthen the administrative mechanisms of government.
In order to achieve these aims, it is important that we create opportunities for citizens from across the country to participate in these endeavours. We urge all our citizens to cooperate together with the government.
We have witnessed the cooperation of government, civil society organisations and citizens both during the peace process and holding 21st Century Panglong Conferences, as well as in the course of adapting and creating new government policies.
The government is undertaking to establish a Union for the benefit of all its citizens, however, there are still many challenges to overcome to ensure our successful transition to democracy.
As the government has anticipated, the 2008 Constitution should be amended step-by-step, to guarantee the smooth transition. Similarly, the Democratic Federal Union can only be implemented if we can build freedom, equality and mutual respect amongst the ethnic people.
With this in mind, the current government has made the peace process a top priority. With the peace process at the centre, national reconciliation can be also achieved, and this, shall lead to democratic transition and the establishment of the Union.
The main goal of the current peace process is to reach political agreements, to sign the Union Accord and to implement steps for establishing a Union based on democracy and federalism. In doing so, common approaches will be agreed through the process of holding political dialogue.
The role of military in the peace process is also very crucial. We need to overcome many challenges harmoniously during the peace process.
Establishing the federal Union and achieving the democratic standards anticipated by the government will take time and can only be done step by step. However, our ultimate goal to establish a democratic federal Union is unwavering. In order to bring about a political agreement, the 21st Century Panglong (Union Peace Conference) has already been held three times. As of now, 51 political agreements have been agreed. The government has reiterated its commitment to establish a Union based on democracy and federalism which has been continuously requested by the ethnic people.
At the second meeting of the 21st Century Panglong (Union Peace Conference), an agreement was in fact reached on matters regarding the right to self-determination and the formulation of state constitutions. However, after reaching agreement, this had to be set aside. Just as non-secession is important, it is equally important to join hands together to build up a federal Union.
While the government is working to establish peace, stability and a democratic federal Union, there are many challenges. For over 70 years, previous governments have been trying to resolve the issues in Rakhine State, which have been smouldering in the background. This is the reason why the transition to democracy has been slow, as the current government is trying to take care of the Rakhine issue first.
Since the ARSA attacks in October 2016, the situation has been unstable. The issues reignited in August 2017 when 30 border police outposts and a military headquarters were attacked by ARSA. Due to the terrorist attacks, a significant number of people fled over to neighbouring Bangladesh, and as a consequence, Myanmar was blamed in the international arena.
The necessary arrangements for repatriation, relief and resettlement have now been undertaken in accordance with the bilateral arrangement signed by Myanmar and Bangladesh on 23 November 2017.
The Independent Commission of Enquiry (ICOE) consisting of two well-known international personalities and two local experts was established in accordance with the law. This Commission is tasked to investigate allegations of human rights violations and the related issues of terrorist attacks. There will be cooperation and collaboration among relevant departments and organisations, the security forces and the ICOE.
We are capable of handling our national affairs not only by utilising our sovereign power, but also by being able and willing to do so.
Myanmar respects the sovereignty and dignity of each individual nation, and therefore it will continuously work towards fostering closer friendships that will contribute towards global peace and the improvement of international relations. In this regard, it is also crucial to follow international laws and agreements.
In order to handle the Rakhine issue, peaceful coexistence through diversity will be implemented. However, if mind-sets and perspectives remain the same as when the conflicts and tension occurred, we will not be able to resolve these issues.
Thus, the issue should be addressed with a new approach, taking into consideration regional and international perspectives, in accordance with 21st century globalisation. We will only be able to overcome the unfair challenges and pressures with the unity of our citizens.
The Rakhine situation is a very complex and sensitive issue.
The government would like to express its gratitude to the public for its understanding, trust and support during this difficult and stressful period as it is trying its utmost for the future development of the nation.
In its nation building endeavour, the government continues to strive to amend laws that are no longer agreeable to democratic values and accepted human rights standards.
The Union Government aims to institute the rule of law, through the development and promulgation of laws, rules and regulations, law enforcement, and the administration of justice through the legal system to promote good governance.
The Union Government has put great efforts into enhancing the ability of the youth to think critically and philosophically, by providing more access to libraries and research, so that a new generation of highly educated youth can be produced.
In order for the new generation to have better access to educational opportunities, better and higher school attendance levels and to lower the rates of school leaving, the union government has upgraded 6,386 schools.
10,732 primary school teachers, 383 middle school teachers and 1,221 high school teachers have been appointed. A total of 4,799 buildings comprising 4,585 school halls and 214 staff accommodations were built.
Text books, exercise books and school uniforms have been distributed to government and monastic schools, free of charge. Pre-schools and primary school syllabuses were changed and 81 non-formal education programs, introduced.
In order to ensure greater job opportunities, the government training and vocational institutions have been further strengthened in Insein, Pyin-OoLwin and Kyaitlatt. In addition, the Singapore- Myanmar Vocational Training Institute (SMVTI), the Nyaung Shwe Vocational Training Institute(NVTI) and the Nay Pyi Taw English Proficiency Training School were further introduced.
Similarly, before 2021, the government will open 36 technical institutes, government technical high-schools and vocational training schools, along with an increase of 2,933 teachers. Twoyear educational colleges will be advanced to four-year degree colleges.
During the last three financial years, the education budget has been gradually increased. In the 2016/17 financial year, the budget was 1,726 billion Kyat; in the 2017/18 financial year, the education budget was 1,756 billion Kyat; and in the 2018/19 financial year, there will be an increase to 2,175 billion Kyat in expenditure.
Similarly, in the health budget, there has been an increase. In the 2016/17 financial year, the budget was 881 billion Kyat; in the 2017/18 financial year, the budget was 1,076 billion Kyat; and in the coming 2018/19 financial year budget, the expenditure will be increased to 1,131 billion kyats.
Together with the increase of budget in the health sector, health care services have also been increased. A new 16-bed regional hospital, 18 rural health clinics, 20 rural sub-clinics, and 16 traditional medicine hospitals were newly built and 7 hospitals also received upgrades. A total of 22,421 doctors, nurses, midwives, health workers, dental experts and health workers were also newly appointed.
The building of 3,644 healthcare staff quarters were also completed. Public health clinics were also opened in rural areas. This helped the early detection of diabetes, hypertension, etc. so that effective health care can be given in the early stages.
Work on the eradication of malaria is being conducted. 64,060 chronic disease patients suffering from TB and 156,372 patients suffering from HIV were being given health care. In order to give better health education, health care workers and health service staff were provided with mobile tablets to assist them with "e-Education, e-Consultation and e-Medicine."
Medical student enrolment from remote regions has increased from 3% to 6%. In 2016/17, 59 students were accepted. In 2017/2018, 81 students were accepted. There was also an increase in post-graduate studies in 10 disciplines and there are now 126 disciplines of post-graduate studies.
In terms of human resources, 3,952 doctors, 492 dentists, 1,121 health workers, 4,143 nurses, 2,550 midwives, 299 women health workers, 529 post graduate diploma holders, 529 masters degree holders, 1,581 Master of Science degree holders and 220 PhDs were produced. During the tenure of the new government, funds were made available for medical research, and advances in medical research projects were achieved.
We acknowledge the role of the Hluttaw Representatives in making possible a notable improvement in the education and health budget, thus allowing the government to realize a future generation that is healthier and better educated. The government also holds seriously its accountability to expending the nation's budget.
Sufficient and good infrastructures are mainly required for building a nation. 67 numbers of over 180-feet bridges, 218 numbers of bridges between 180 and 50 feet that are 285 numbers of bridges in total have been constructed across the country in the past two years. It is planned to complete the construction of Thayet-Aunglan Ayeyarwaddy bridge in the third year. It is also planned to complete the construction of over 400 bridges needed by the people across the country.
Apart from the construction works by Ministry of Construction, 144 Union roads were upgraded with the assistance of the ADB, the World Bank, JICA, KfW of Germany. Of them, 333 miles of concrete road, 358 miles of tar road and 1,030 miles of nylon-tar road were upgraded.
Besides, the ministry upgraded 2,916 miles of road in total and 1,940 bridges in rural areas as part of efforts for providing the rural people with smooth transportation. The Ministry of Construction would upgrade roads in rural areas every year, setting its target of turning the roads to all-weather roads to be accessed by 80 percent of the villages and 90 percent of the rural population of the country.
Urban projects and industrial cities are being developed in some big cities like Yangon and Mandalay within 3 years for systematic development of urban housing.
Economic growth is expected to accelerate by having businessmen participate in these mega projects. The development of these mega projects will create job opportunities and have multiplier effects in the economy. These effects will drive the economy and positively influence on the national GDP.
The role of active young entrepreneurs has become important among today's businessmen. The government has been supporting to have more young entrepreneurs emerged. These young businessmen are the future of Myanmar's business environment. More businesses at the international level will emerge by supporting and nurturing them.
Negotiations have been made in cooperation with the IFC of the World Bank Group for the development of Yangon elevated road project in coming 2019 with a view to address the traffic issues in Yangon. Such development is being pursued with the expection not only to address traffic issues but also to create job opportunities.
Urban development is becoming a challenge for highly populated cities. It is important that future potential developments are taken into consideration to address these challenges.
During the past 2 years, it was planned to construct 10,924 rooms for public housing and for government employees, among which 57,48 rooms that is 70 percent of the plan are now available. Efforts are being made for timely construction of the rest and in addition, construction of over 10,000 rooms are planned, out of which over 4,000 rooms are to be constructed through different PPP models and over 6,000 rooms are to be constructed by private companies.
Urban projects in 33 cities across the country have been implemented and planning for additional urban projects are being developed in cooperation with the states and regional governments. The Master Plan for Yangon Region, Master Plan for Yangon-Hantharwadi-Bago corridor and Master Plan for Southwest of Yangon have been developed in cooperation with JICA of Japan and KOICA of Korea.
It is important to have higher electricity supply in the process of developing road and transport connectivities, and also developing urban housing and infrastructures. Development of these basic infrastructures could open up business and job opportunities.
During the past two and a half years, electricity supply hasn increased by 556 MW from 2,802 MW to 3,388 MW. Hence, electricity can be supplied to 33 cities, 3,843 villages and 684,013 households. As the electricity consumption has been rising from 15% to 19% per annum, it will increase up to 4,531 MW in 2020-2021.
In order to meet the electricity demand, efforts are being made to generate 220 MW in 2018, 449 MW in 2018-19, 737 MW in 2019-2010, 1,351 MW in 2020-2021 that are 2,757 MW in total.
The natural gas production may gradually decline as the production from Yadana project has reached a plateau level. Offshore national gas exploration and onshore oil exploration are being expanded to mitigate the effect of gradual national gas production decline.
Drilling of deep and shallow wells are being conducted in the sea near Rakhine, Ayeyarwaddy and Taninthayi coastal areas. Currently, prospects are observed in A-6 off the Ayeyarwaddy coast. Once the estimated reserves have been confirmed, official announcement would be made. Tender proposals will be solicited to international companies for the exploration of onshore and offshore blocks.
Agricultural sector depended on by the majority of population has become an important foundation in developing basic infrastructures for the nation building. To strengthen the important economic foundation, to have farmers' families benefited from their own farming, and to have the generations of farmers possess the right to their farm land, the 2012 Law on Farm Land and 2012 Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Land Management Law have been amended to reflect the actual onground situation.
Along with the environmental degradation around the world, Myanmar has been encountering natural disasters on a regular basis due to climate change and losses are encountered on the annual basis.
During the period under the existing government, Disaster Risk Management Committee and Ministry of Social Welfare Relief and Resettlement have spent Kyats 2.4 billion and Kyats 11.330 billion respectively that are Kyats 13.739 billion in total for the support and rehabilitation activities in the disaster areas.
To avoid difficulty in access to agricultural and drinking water in the dry zone and coastal areas, plans are being made for effective storage of rain water.
Thanks to renovation and maintenance of reservoirs and irrigation system, about 1.23 million acres of rice received irrigation water sufficiently in this rainy season and about 1.167 million acres of rice were supplied with irrigation water from the reservoirs and dams. Besides, this year saw further 260,000 acres of rice in summer while about 1,500 tube-wells were drilled for agricultural purpose and about 400 tube-wells for supply drinking water.
To be able to adapt to climate change impacts on agriculture, to improve timeliness agricultural production and to minimize the loss and wastages in the sector, we believe that the use of farm machinery should be increased. Therefore, plans are underway to promote the use of agricultural machinery. Today, about 75 per cent of the cultivation were operated by mechanization from ploughing to harvesting.
The incumbent government has released a total of 63,417 acres of confiscated farmland so far and returned 13,091acres to farmers and 50,326 acres to ministries and regions and states.
To accelerate the country's economy based on the agricultural sector and to boost the agricultural products, the Union Government laid down the national export strategy, practicing all possible means and ways to get the export market for Myanmar's products.
Regarding the export sector, efforts are being made to produce value-added products from rice, peas and pulses, fish, textile, woods and rubber. Besides, the Union Government has stepped up its efforts for promoting transport, quality of export products, availability of information on trade and financial services. Today, Myanmar's export is relying on agricultural sector, fishery and livestock sector, and private small and medium enterprises.
Meanwhile, local production sector is facing challenges, such as getting quality seeds, shortage of machinery in production, fertilizer, systematic use of pesticides, shortage of skilled laborers. To be able to provide the people with safety and nutritious food, efforts are being made to promote organic crops production and high-quality products. It is found that the special challenges for our SMEs are capital, technology and market penetration.
Government borrows ODA from JICA as two-step loans for SMEs in order to fulfill the need for finance and Kyats 60 billion loans has been extended to SMEs within 3 years. It is also planned to extend the loan of additional Kyats 200 billion to the SMEs in 2018-2019. In addition, the State-owned Myanmar Economic Bank also plans to extend the loan amounting to Kyats 250 billion as SME loans.
Similarly, JICA two-step loans amounting to Kyats 200 billion was acquired to support farmers and help them have better access to finance during a transformation process towards mechanized farming and Kyats 30 billion loans has been extended to farmers so far. Myanmar Economic Bank also plans to extend the loans amounting to Kyats 200 billion for agriculture and livestock farming businesses.
Agriculture loans extended by Myanmar Agricultural Development Bank has increased from Kyats 100,000 to Kyats 150,000 per acre for paddy farming. Loans extended for other crops have increased from Kyats 20,000 to Kyats 50,000 per acre and it is planned to further increase up to Kyats 100,000 per acre.
The presence of illegal trades, lower export generated incomes, loss of taxes, depletion of natural resources, illegal importation of consumer products have significant impacts on domestic small and medium sized industries and pose significant challenges exposing risks to consumers. It is planed to have these challenges properly handled in accordance with the Laws.
Trade imbalances exist due to current account deficits as imports are much higher than exports. As US dollar has strengthened significantly since the past April and June, many currencies in the world including Myanmar Kyats are becoming weaker. Although that is a global impact, depreciation of Myanmar Kyats is found to be more significant than those of other countries.
While there are many factors that cause Myanmar Kyat to depreciate, current account deficit, interest rates, inflation and economic prospects are factors among others that mainly influence on the exchange rate.
Analyzing the depreciation of Myanmar Kyat, although it started with the external impacts, the domestic factors that include but are not limited to weak economic fundamentals and structural issues have significant impacts on the exchange rate. Looking at the trade, trade deficit was US$ 3.8 billion in 2017- 18 and it is actually lower than previous years.
In 2016-2017, trade deficit was US$ 5.2 billion and it was US$ 5.4 billion in 2015-2016. It is evident that these deficits have had a lot of pressure on the domestic currency.
Second, changes in seasonal foreign currency demands also have impacts on the exchange rate. Especially during the period from July to December, demands for foreign currency is usually high.
In order to reduce the trade deficit, to strengthen domestic economy and to be resilient and to withstand various impacts, the government has been going through various reform processes in cooperation with the private sector stakeholders.
Government of Myanmar places a lot of effort in enhancing productivity, developing main economic drivers, and creating favorable investment and business climate. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for application of business approvals and permits are being developed and a Single Window system according to which applications can be made and approvals and permits can be received at one place will be developed soon. Now, the new Companies Law has been enacted and online system through which companies can be incorporated without needing to come to the office has been up and running. Hence, it is projected that Myanmar's Ease of Doing Business ranking will improve in the years ahead.
With the cooperation of private sector and based on the efforts made by relevant government deparments, it is planned to improve the ranking of Ease of Doing Business for Myanmar from the current status of 171 to less than 100 in a few years time. It is aimed not only at improving the ranking but also at changing the xisting procedures of the government departments, especially to change the current situation of unpopular red-tapes, increased corruptions, and the mismatch between the government's policy objectives and its departments' organization and performance.
At the same time, the government has established a four year (2018-2021) strategic plan for anti-corruption reforms and initiatives to reduce the erosion state funds and bring bribery and corruption under control.
The government's plans are now in place to implement the strategic plan for anti-corruption and bribery. At the same time, in order to protect individual rights and the basic rights of citizens, the protection of human rights is being implemented as a matter of great importance.
The Myanmar National Human Rights Commission is ensuring greater understanding, promoting awareness and protection. In police cells and prisons, noticeable improvements in food and accommodation can be seen.
Legal aid for people who cannot afford legal representation has been established. Legal aid is given to citizens who are poor and unable to defend for themselves, such as children, women, the elderly, disabled, and people suffering from communicable diseases.
Similarly, the President's Office has taken direct responsibility of the anti-narcotics taskforce. It is encouraging to see that there has been continuous cooperation from the people in reporting information on drug-related crimes.
Since the taskforce was established on 27th June 2018, until 17th September 2018, a total of 698 reports were made and 514 of these were investigated, resulting in 174 arrests made. A total of 426 people (356 males and 70 females) were apprehended. A total of 2,626.97 grams of heroin, 16.71 grams of ICE, 34,896.85 grams of opium, 144,781 tablets of amphetamine, 3,356.74 grams of marijuana, 10 assorted arms, 179 assorted ammunitions and 1 hand grenade were confiscated. To date, there have still not been many reports of large-scale drug traffickers received.
Three centres for youth rehabilitation managed by the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control, and 9 centres for rehabilitation managed by the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement were opened to give assistance, education and treatment programs to people taking mind-altering drugs and other kinds of substances. Assistance and rehabilitation to people suffering both physically and mentally was also given through educational and vocational training.
The Myanmar police force, which plays a vital role in upholding the role of law, has been enhanced to improve law enforcement. Arms and weapons have been updated, and training schools have been upgraded together with international institutions. Updates were also made to the forensics and DNA lab facilities. Communication equipment has been upgraded. It is understood that for nations going through transition, it takes an average of 10 years for the rule of law to take firm hold.
It is a long-term investment, where dynamic and unrelenting motivation is required, if the nation is to live in harmony, peace and security under a strong and firm rule of law.
May I conclude by clarifying that the government will exercise the powers vested in them by the people, with the collected efforts of the people, by:
• Ensuring the rule of law and promoting socio-economic development;
• Peace and national reconciliation; and
• Firmly upholding our objective to amend the constitution, which is the basic foundation for building a Democratic Federal Union.

Karl Barry Sharpless '63 Receives Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Sharpless credited a Dartmouth professor for helping set the course of his life's work.
Sharpless discovered a reaction called the Sharpless Epoxidation. At the time of his winning the Nobel Prize for his work within the field asymmetric oxidations, the chemist shared the out-sized role that his Dartmouth education played in steering him towards a field that he would eventually lead. The following autobiography was written by Sharpless upon his win and an extended version can be found on the Nobel Prize website.
"While I had an overwhelming passion for fishing, school I merely enjoyed and I never planned to be a scientist. In fact, passion, not planning, is the engine driving all my thought and action. The almost unimaginably good fortune of my youth was that other people made such very, very good plans and choices for me.
My parents selected the excellent Friends Central School where, fortuitously, Clayton Farraday was both a science teacher and the school's beloved Mr. Chips. The counselors there decided, wisely, that I should attend a college rather than a large university, and I departed Philadelphia for Dartmouth College in the fall of 1959. Though literature courses there were my favorites, I was a pre-medical student solely because my parents always hoped that I'd become an MD like my father. Pre-meds majored in chemistry or biology, and between the two I leaned toward chemistry. I didn't get really interested, however, until I had two semesters of organic my sophomore year from a young chemistry professor who chose me to do research in his lab. When I graduated Dartmouth a few years later, in 1963, the same prof called my next move, a PhD in organic chemistry instead of medical school. He even chose the graduate school I attended and my research supervisor there. Such a strong intervention in a student's life is no doubt unusual, but the precipitating events were unusual, too.
Generally speaking, colleges have the best undergraduate teaching, and universities, whose labs are filled by graduate and post-graduate students, have the best research. When I arrived at Dartmouth College in 1959, the chemistry department had a graduate program, which meant great teachers who were just as good at research. However, the program was small, and only a master's degree was awarded, so consequently professors were perpetually hungry for more manpower for their labs, more "hands". Undergraduates who performed well in lab courses were actively recruited to do "real" graduate- level research.
Thomas A. Spencer, a brand-new assistant professor of chemistry, arrived at Dartmouth when I did, and I was part of his research group for three years. Because Tom was (and still is) so smart and such a good chemist, he could recognize not just talent, but the potential to do something significant; because Tom was also born a great teacher, he was obliged to give a swift kick to my comfortable obliviousness. Fishing, now in the form of working all summer on charter boats, continued as my abiding passion, which meant I continued to need a wise person to make good decisions for me. If some variables in my adult life were changed, I might still have made it onto these pages, but it never would have happened without Tom Spencer."

Following the GIA travel logs is a great way to learn about the far flung emerging and established gem markets of the world. Sri Lanka is a unique place in the world where many types of gems abound the landscape. The centuries have taught the Sri Lankan gem miner how to take his goods from mine to market with as few steps as possible. In recent years the changes in import export rules for the gemstone industry have helped them expand and bring in large amounts of foreign stones for cutting and processing into jewelry for the world. With the mining, trading, cutting, treatment, jewelry manufacturing, and retail sectors all on fire, the future is looking good.
Sri Lanka has massive deposits of a variety of gemstones, The gravels yield sapphire, ruby, cat's-eye and other chrysoberyls, spinel, garnet, beryl, tourmaline, topaz, quartz, and many other gemstones.
The ability of cutters from Sri Lanka to orient a stone for cutting is legendary and among the natural talents of this centuries old trade. Gem cutting skills are well established in this island nation. The color orientation is key to the presentation and light penetration of any gemstone. The natural eye of these stone cutters is a huge asset to the gem markets in Sri Lanka.
Still using traditional methods of stone orientation for cutting are still employed in this modern day, this is because it works and needs no changes. These traditions have serve well the gem cutting industry in Sri Lanka and it is slow to change with modern tools and techniques.
Gemstone deposits in Sri Lanka are based in gem-bearing gravels called illam.
To visit Sri Lanka is to experience one of the great gem sources and trading centers in the world. This country has a rich, almost unparalleled tradition and remains vitally important to the modern gemstone market. Sri Lanka has a true mine-to-market industry, both domestically and for export. Its evolution over the last two decades blends the best of traditional practices with modern technologies and business models.
In this field report, we take you on an expedition to this magnificent island and its remarkable mine-to-market industry.
Traveling in Sri Lanka, you realize it is a large island with very diverse environments. Most of the terrain consists of flat or rolling hills, but there are beautiful mountains in the southern central interior. Agriculture is a constant presence as you drive around the country, with intense green rice fields and rubber tree plantations. | {

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 hands-on review
By Alex Todd
The new Microsoft Surface Pro 3 could well be the first true laptop replacement and we spent some quality hands-on time with it before launch.
Microsoft's Surface is back and better than ever. Set to hit stores in the UK in August, the new Surface Pro 3 sports proper PC hardware underpinnings, runs full Windows 8.1, boasts a higher-than-Full HD resolution display and improved stylus input.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 hands-on review: Design
When we first saw the Surface Pro 3 back in May we had a good indication of its impressive design, but it's all the more desirable in the flesh metal.
Just as MacBook Air users are forever bowled over by the power such a thin computer offers (I am at least), the Surface Pro 3 pulls off the exact same trick, which is fitting seeing as it serves as a direct rival to Apple's razor-thin laptop. At 9.1mm you can wield it in one hand more easily than previous models, especially as the weight is more evenly distributed thanks to the display's new aspect ratio.
The milled aluminium body has space for microSD expandability, there's a full-sized USB 3.0 port which can take all the common PC peripherals you'd expect, a mini display port output and even vented edging for the internal cooling fan milled right into the chassis – all this in a body that weighs just 800 grams too.
The kickstand is also a big hook with the new Surface Pro 3 as it fixes the problem both previous iterations of Pro suffered from. We went from hammering on the Type Cover, to tapping on the touchscreen and sketching with the stylus in seconds. It uses a new sprung hinge that gives you degrees of control over the position of the display relative to you face, from upright to a near flat position (150 degrees).
The Touch and Type Covers have also been redesigned to feature a larger trackpad that offers considerably more feedback when right or left-clicking, not to mention both touch and swipe accuracy have been upped too. Those looking to add a little artistry to their work can also keep the new Surface Pen tucked away in an adhesive loop that matches the colour of your preferred cover.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 hands-on review: Screen
The front of the Surface Pro 3 is adorned with an exceptionally crisp ClearType Full HD Plus LCD panel. The 12-inch, 2160×1440 resolution makes this the largest display to have featured on a Surface whilst still retaining excellent detail, colours and accurate contrast. The aforementioned 3:2 aspect ratio also means it's easy to handle and better suits most of the applications on offer out-the-box.
As with previous versions, the Pro 3 supports stylus input too, which can be used in conjunction with on-screen swipes and taps at the same time. With 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, impressively low latency and a smaller gap between the Surface Pen nib and the display, it boasts one of the most natural, responsive digital illustration experiences around. The Surface even has palm detection, so you can carry on sketching whilst resting your hand on another part of the touch screen without worry.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 hands-on review: Performance and features
So, based on our initial encounter, can the Surface Pro 3 truly replace the laptop? The user experience certainly feels fast and fluid (we were using an i5 processor-based prototype), swiping around the Windows 8.1 Start screen is easy by hand or with the latest Touch and Type Covers, which include handy hardware key shortcuts too.
As with the Windows Phone experience, Microsoft's latest Bing apps have grown in number and quality, now covering health and fitness, news, sports, finance, travel and more. Microsoft Office is naturally a big part of the Surface package as well, offering the full suite in a wholly portable package.
OneNote is one example of an app built with Surface in mind. Tapping the top of the Surface Pen quick-launches the application, so you can scribble down your freshest ideas at a moment's notice. This even works on the lock screen, so you or your friends can enter things in without the need for a password. That same stylus also helps take full-sized screenshots, which again get pushed into OneNote with a double tap on the button at the opposing end to the nib.
Back on the tablet itself, whilst expandability and USB support are fantastic inclusions, you'll be able to pick from a myriad of storage options and processor specs. Ranging from 4th-generation Intel i3, to i5, to i7 silicon, Microsoft is hoping users can consider this a serious portable workhorse, capable of more than just Photoshop and some light 3D gaming, but video editing and other intensive processes too.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 hands-on review: Price and availability
The lowest storage available is a 64GB-flavoured model, but if you need more space, the priciest of the bunch can accommodate an impressive 512GB of flash storage, along with an Intel i7 chip and 8GB of RAM.
Our time with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 was fleeting, but we're itching to test it out in full once it's available. As we stated in our video hands-on, expect UK stores to offer up this newest Surface from late August, with prices starting at £639. If you're really intrigued, you can even pre-order it, right now. | {

Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li
Updated 1313 GMT (2113 HKT) June 20, 2014
Photos: Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li
Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li – Lucy Li, the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open, finished her first round with an eight-over-par 78, at Pinehurst on Thursday.
Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li – The 11-year-old suffered setbacks with two double-bogeys and a triple-bogey, but looked assured.
Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li – World No. 1 Stacy Lewis questioned the wisdom of allowing an 11-year-old to play in the high-pressure tournament, but Li responded with a relaxed round that included two birdies.
Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li – Li triumphed in the USGA's historic first round of international qualifying events to book her place at the U.S. Open.
Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li – She breaks the previous mark held by fellow American Lexi Thompson, who was 12 when she made the cut in 2007.
Golf's prodigies: Lucy Li – Li already has one notable victory to her name at the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship held at Augusta National in April. The Open is her first major tournament.
Golf's prodigies: Lydia Ko – Li will have to progress fast to match the achievements of world number three Lydia Ko. She was just 14 when she triumphed at the the New South Wales Open in January 2012, becoming the youngest player to win a professional tournament.
Golf's prodigies: Lydia Ko – Age 15, Ko also became the youngest LPGA Tour winner in history courtesy of her win at the Canadian Women's Open.
Golf's prodigies: Ryo Ishikawa – Japan's Ryo Ishikawa was the youngest male player to win a professional tournament, until he was usurped by 14-year old Pachara Khongwatmai last year. Ishikawa was 15 when he triumphed at the Munsingwear Open in 2007 and has since gone on to become a top-level tour competitor. | {

Q: Is there a trace mode for Jenkins pipeline? I'd like to know (don't find that within the official documentation... but ...) if there is some sort of trace mode for jenkinsfiles scripts ?
More specifically, my current concern is to trace the sshCommand step, to understand why something that runs "manually" fails within a pipeline.

Essential Business MOOCs For January
by: Jeff Schmitt on December 17, 2014 | 4 Comments Comments 42,098 Views
Say the word "globalization" out loud. I dare you.
Bet you get some dirty looks. They're probably picturing "Barry" from Bangalore troubleshooting their computer or Rosa from Reynosa swiping their cushy union job. No, you won't find much nuance when it comes to globalization. Most people view it as either a growing threat or a cure-all. And there isn't much middle ground.
On one side, globalization is a sinister force, blamed for stagnant wages, trade imbalances, market volatility, and accelerated climate change. On the other side, you'll find the advocates who view globalization as the path to peace, fairness, and prosperity, where openness and competition increase variety and reduce costs.
Whether you're looking to prop up or upend the old order, you're bound to create conflict. Call globalization the Rorschach test of our generation. Question is, are the sides debating the facts…or their perception of reality? That's the central question behind Pankaj Ghemawat's Globalization of Business Enterprise MOOC starting January 19th. Based on Ghemawat's research, the course questions whether we're really debating globalization per se.
In reality, globalization is still in its relative infancy according to Ghemawat, who is ranked among the 50 greatest management thinkers of all-time by The Economist. Despite technology and supply chains that supposedly draw us together, we're really not all that connected in Ghemawat's view. For example, only 5 to 10 percent of charitable giving ever goes outside a home country according to Ghemawat's book World 3.0. While Japan is ranked as the fourth largest trader, exports account for 13 percent of their GDP.
So how do you measure globalization? In his course, Ghemawat, who has taught global strategy at IESE and Harvard Business School for over 30 years, introduces students to his CAGE framework, which compares nations in terms of culture, administrative capabilities, geography, and economics. In addition, he'll outline the future implications of globalization in its many forms. Whether you believe in getting a bigger slice or expanding the pie altogether, this course will leave you with plenty to think about.
Alas, Ghemawat isn't the only big name professor starting a MOOC in January. After a holiday lull in December, many of the world's best universities are bringing out their big brains to teach online for free next month. Harvard Law's Charles Fried, a former Solicitor General, will conduct the first MOOC of his 50 year career, examining the basics of contract law. John Cochrane, a mainstay at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, will hold a doctoral level MOOC on asset pricing. And you'll find the best-and-brightest at the top schools covering a range of topics: Gamification (Wharton School of Business), Technology Entrepreneurship (Stanford), Game Theory (Stanford), Innovation and Commercialization (MIT), Business Growth (University of Virginia's Darden School of Business), Financing Entrepreneurship (Babson), and Organizational Behavior (HEC Paris).

Several of you have emailed that you will not be able to make the Watkinsville Litter Pick-Up (Details below) because of travel or prior commitments. Of course I am completely sympathetic. But I want to remind Oconee Democrats and people in Oconee County who are sympathetic with democratic causes that this is an opportunity for the local news media and the unaffiliated groups who will be participating to make a direct comparison between the Republicans and us. This is why I would like to encourage anyone and everyone who does not have a prior commitment to spend an hour on Saturday morning picking up trash along Simonton Bridge/White Hall Road. You do not have to be a resident of Watkinsville. Heck, you do not even have to be a resident of Oconee County. You simply have to be somebody who cares about making a show of Democratic strength in a Republican-dominated county, and who cares about the environment.
I am not normally so gung-ho in my solicitations, but I see this as a real opportunity, and my competitive juices are flowing. The question is, "Are yours?"
Call me or email me off the list-serve with questions.
Where: Gather at the entrance to Calls Creek Estates, which is on Simonton Bridge Road. Park at the Watkinsville First Baptist Church, 1610 Simonton Bridge Road. Calls Creek Estates is directly across the street from the church. | {

How Your Brand Can Build Publicity Through the Gaming Industry
The video game industry is a booming market, with over 3 billion people playing video games across the globe, according to a new report by DFC Intelligence. The paper found that almost half of the play on their computers, whereas only a small percentage, surprisingly, play on gaming consoles, like the Playstation and Xbox. The researchers also saw that the mobile gaming market was rising quickly in regions, like Europe and Asia.
The Popularity of Video Games in 2020
Apart from players, the gaming industry also has a large viewer base. The world championship for League of Legends, had over 100 million viewers across the globe, making it officially the most popular e-sport in the world. Game streamers are also seeing thousands to millions of viewers every day on platforms like Twitch, Facebook Gaming, Youtube Gaming, and more. They often manage their communities with human moderators or digital ones, like the nightbot app.
NICKMERCS, a Call of Duty: Warzone streamer gets about 50.1k viewers on average. One of the biggest streamers in the world, Ninja, garnered over 98,000 viewers in his return to Twitch. These streamers also have millions of loyal followers and streamers.
How Brands are Taking Advantage of the Industry
With the number of players and viewers that video games get, it's no surprise that the biggest brands are penetrating the industry. Some companies, like Gucci, create mini-games that advertise their products. Others collaborate with the developers themselves, like Louis Vuitton's recent collab with League of Legends. The former created LoL-themed clothes, and the latter created LV-themed skins for one of their characters. Some businesses also partner with streamers to advertise their logos and even products on stream.
How to Market Your Brand in the Gaming Industry
Here's what you need to know about using this industry for your marketing efforts.
Start With Streaming
Think of streamers and e-sports players as your run-of-the-mill influencers. They have a huge following with different demographics and psychographics depending on their niche. For example, Ninja primarily streamed Fortnite during the prime of his streaming career. This game is popular with kids, primarily preteens and teens. As such, brands that these types of gamers usually consume, like energy drink company Redbull and athleticwear giant Adidas, sponsored him.
When looking for streamers, take note of the games that they regularly play. Does it attract mostly kids, like "Minecraft" or "Fortnite"? Or do they have a mature viewer base, like with "Counter-Strike" or "NBA 2K"? Are they attracting mostly male or female viewers? Make sure their viewers are part of your target audience. Alternatively, you could also sponsor an e-sports team and have your logo featured on their jerseys and player streams.
Make Your Own Interesting Game
Nike recently advertised their Epic React line of running shoes through a variety of mediums. They even released a Super Mario-style video game for it: "Reactland." It was a three-minute game that customers could play when testing out the Epic React shoes on the treadmill. Apart from the main gameplay, the game allowed customers to create their own avatars for it. They could also easily share clips of their gameplay on social media.
What's great about creating a game for your brand is that you don't really need experience in game design or development to create one. You can collaborate with experts to make an interesting concept and outsource your game development to another an established company.
Sponsor Events
Tournaments big and small are loved by fans and players alike. If you want to catch the attention of tournament viewers, sponsor the events they watch, like what Mercedes-Benz did with the League of Legends World Championship. According to research by McKinsey, people who view and play LoL are likely interested in business and fast cars, so it's the perfect event for the company to be a sponsor of. If the game doesn't have a budding scene yet, your company can host an invitational tournament. Like with streamers, it's all about finding a game that your target audience is interested in. ;
Advertise on Mobile Games
While the consensus for most online ads is that they're annoying, advertising on mobile games is actually a good idea. Mobile gamers are receptive to ads, according to a report by Lucid. The researchers surveyed over 265 people. About 70% of them stated that they tapped on an ad in a mobile or computer game before. Again, look for games or a niche of games that your target market is likely to play and work with developers to get your ads on them.
The gaming industry is bigger than ever, with over 3 billion active gamers across the globe. Games are also more accessible than ever with mobile phones and computers getting more and more powerful throughout the years and independent developers are on the rise. If you want to use this booming industry to market your products and services, consider these suggestions. With the right sponsorships, ads, or even original games, your brand can reach and engage billions of people worldwide. | {

This transformation took many centuries in Europe and North America as people moved from farms to cities; basic public health measures steadily reduced the risk of contagious disease and modern medicine prolonged lives to unprecedented lengths. In developing countries, this demographic transition is certainly underway, though these countries vary widely at their places along the spectrum.
Very low birth rates and the resultant population decrease have received considerable media attention, particularly in Europe and parts of eastern Asia. In the past, when demographers projected national and global populations, the projections commonly assumed that birth rates would decline worldwide but only to the "two-child" family, i.e., two children per woman or per couple on average. An assumption that fertility would fall below this rate would have some unpleasant consequences: a decrease in population size and a population top-heavy with retired seniors who would depend upon the social taxes paid by a dwindling number of younger workers. While it may not have been desirable to project such a gloomy scenario in the past, this is exactly what has transpired in many countries.
In Europe and eastern Asia, fertility remains at what is seen as catastrophically low levels, and countries have been slow to react. While such attitudes are now changing rapidly, any increases in the TFR (Total Fertility Rate) are few and modest at best. Reasons for low fertility can vary quite a bit across countries and some examples of those differences are used.
In Germany, it remains socially unacceptable to leave one's child in all-day daycare and most kindergartens close at 1:00 PM, placing a significant burden on parents. The administration of Chancellor Angela Merkel has placed great emphasis on providing a more accommodating climate for couples with young children, by increasing child payments and, ultimately, providing day-long childcare. Germany's policies become more in line with family-friendly France whose support of young families is legendary.
In Italy (also in China), childbearing outside of formal marriage is generally not socially acceptable, as it is in Sweden where over half of births are outside marriage. Young people in Italy face a tight job market, and as a result, marriage and childbearing can be delayed. In Eastern Europe, birth rates had been comparatively high prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. After that event, collapsing economies brought the birth rate down with them quite rapidly; this region now has Europe's lowest fertility. In Japan, raising children is not only perceived as expensive, but most family duties fall to wives as husbands often work long hours and participate very little in domestic chores.
The future course of TFR determines the level to which countries experience societal aging. What might we expect? The degree to which generous family policies affect birth rates is debatable, but the simple fact remains that countries with such policies have the highest TFRs. There is potential for change in low fertility rates, reflected in the results of the Eurobarometer surveys conducted by the European Commission. In the 15 countries surveyed in 2006, the "personal ideal family size" was above two children in all countries except Austria. This ranged from 3.0 among women in Ireland to 1.66 among men in Austria. The current TFR in Ireland is only 1.6.
One of the most striking features of the pyramid of aging is the very high proportion of the "old, old" which is defined as those age 80 years and over. In 2055, 19 percent of Japan's population falls into that category, including 634,000 centenarians. At the same time, the country's population size has shrunk from 128 million today to 90 million. The consequences for the country's pension and health care systems are without precedent. Today, the state of Japan's birth rate is being treated as a national crisis, it may safely be said that it is too little, too late.
Although future changes in fertility likely have the most noteworthy effect on changing the pyramid, past and future increases in life expectancy have had and have their own effect, particularly in the numbers of the old old. Currently, life expectancy at birth in Japan stands at 79 years for males and 86 years for females. These are without historical precedent and continue to rise as the projected pyramid. Japan's life tables for the years 1921-1925 show that life expectancy at age 75 stood at 5.3 years for males and 6.2 years for females. In 1995, those figures were 9.8 and 12.9 years, respectively. As high as these life expectancies are, they are still increasing. In 2004, life expectancy at age 75 was 11.2 years for males and 14.9 for females. A woman who survived to age 75 could expect to live to age 90.

Vulnerabilities in Chrome Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Google Chrome is a web browser used to access the Internet. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could view, change, or delete data. If this application has been configured to have fewer user rights on the system, exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could have less impact than if it was configured with administrative rights.
THREAT INTELLIGENCE: Google is aware that these vulnerabilities are being exploited in the wild.
SYSTEMS AFFECTED:
Google Chrome versions prior to 89.0.4389.128
RISK:
Large and medium government entities: High
Small government entities: High
Businesses:
Large and medium business entities: High
Small business entities: High
Home users: Low
TECHNICAL SUMMARY:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. These vulnerabilities can be exploited if a user visits, or is redirected to, a specially crafted web page. Details of the vulnerabilities are as follows:
A use-after-free vulnerability that exists in the 'BLINK' component. (CVE-2021-21206)
An insufficient validation of untrusted input in 'V8' component for x86_64. (CVE-2021-21220)
Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could view, change, or delete data. If this application has been configured to have fewer user rights on the system, exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could have less impact than if it was configured with administrative rights.
We recommend the following actions be taken:
Apply the stable channel update provided by Google to vulnerable systems immediately after appropriate testing.
Run all software as a non-privileged user (one without administrative privileges) to diminish the effects of a successful attack.
Remind users not to visit un-trusted websites or follow links provided by unknown or un-trusted sources.
Inform and educate users regarding the threats posed by hypertext links contained in emails or attachments especially from un-trusted sources.
Apply the Principle of Least Privilege to all systems and services.

This week's cancellation of Roseanne has brought out the worst in a lot of terrible, criminally online people. Add Susan Goldstein to that list.
After Roseanne Barr got her show canceled this past Tuesday for comparing a black woman to an ape, Goldstein decided to go on a public Facebook rant decrying what she feels is a "double standard" between liberals and conservatives. Why, she repeatedly asked online, are people not racist for comparing Donald Trump to an orangutan but racist when someone like Barr compares a black woman to an ape?
Cute! Wow! When you put it like that, how could people possibly be upset about comparing the country's first black president to a cartoon monkey?
Local politicians condemned the remark. "It's inappropriate to compare anyone to an animal, whether the intent is racist or not," Broward Republican Party chair George Moraitis, who's also a state representative, told the Sun-Sentinel. "I completely disagree with those comments," although he added that it was "subjective" whether or not what she said was racist.
After the original story went up, New Times posted an update with a screenshot of Goldstein asking: "I get it now. White person, comedy. Black person, racism. What if it is an Asian? Comedy or Racism?" Great question, Susan.
We've reached out to Rubio's press office for comment, and will update with any response we receive. | {

In episode 65, we welcome guest host Abner Brown (/AbnerBrown) to bring a true ode to the past era of hip-hop. We travel back in time to 8-tracks and breaks, which was truly the birthplace of this industry. We also discuss the controversial topic revolving around the father of trap music; Tip, Rick Ross, or Young Jeezy. Plus, we review the latest album from the iconic Kool G Rap: Return of the Don. This and whole lot more on that #BoomBap. | {

Foreign visitors to Japan hit 20 million this year at record pace
Online: Aug 21, 2018
Last Modified: Aug 21, 2018
The number of foreign visitors to Japan has reached an estimated 20 million in 2018 at its quickest annual pace, particularly helped by Chinese tourists, the government said Monday.
The figure topped the 20 million mark last Wednesday, one month earlier than the previous record set in 2017 that saw 28.7 million visitors over the 12-month period, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters in Hokkaido.
If the current pace is maintained, this year's figure will top 30 million for the first time, according to the Japan Tourism Agency.
The government's aim is to attract 40 million visitors in 2020 when Tokyo hosts the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It has taken measures such as easing visa rules and promoting airport expansions for budget airlines in order to reach that goal.
Individual tourists and cruise passengers from China have contributed to the record pace of growth in foreign visitors, the agency said. Visitors from South Korea and other Asian countries have also helped lift the overall figure.
But being prone to natural disasters, Japan also marked slower growth in its number of foreign visitors in July due to earthquakes and torrential rain in western areas, the agency said.
As Japan gears up for the 2020 Olympics in just over a year, it needs to brace for sophisticated cyberattacks, experts say. With the proliferation of smart devices and drones, such attack...

Is On the Record Going Tabloid?
Just a little observation, gentle reader. It wasn't so long ago that Greta Van Susteren was interviewing Senators, governors, Presidential candidates and other heavy hitters. What has she been up to this week? For several days it was in-depth coverage of the Christopher Dorner manhunt. Last night she was interviewing passengers from the Carnival cruise and their families.
I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that according to the last Nielsen numbers, the show is bleeding viewers, while The Last Word on MSNBC has been picking them up. Maybe they're trying to see if cops, blood and shipwrecks do better in the ratings game. Your humble servant will monitor this to see if it's a lasting trend. | {

Making history: Cougars advance to 1st ever semifinals
By BRIAN WRIGHT, Staff Writer
CASA GRANDE — It took guts and toughness, but the Cougars made history Friday, advancing to the state semifinals for the first time ever with a 47-30 win over Peoria in the 4A quarterfinals.
The game featured wild ups and downs and big plays on both sides, as neither team could seize control of the game. That all changed when No. 1 Casa Grande (7-1) outscored No. 8 Peoria (4-4) 20-0 in the fourth quarter, pulling away from the Panthers late.
A raucous celebration ensued when the final buzzer sounded, as Casa Grande players mobbed each other and yelled while enveloping coach Jake Barro.
"This is huge for everybody," Barro said. "It's just a lot of emotions. I'm just very proud of these kids, and we've been building for years and years and years, six years to be exact ... this was kind of always the goal, and there's still a goal after that, obviously."
That other goal is to win the state championship.
But Casa Grande had to first get through a very game Peoria team that came to play. On the first play from scrimmage, Panthers running back Cameron Mack took it to the house for 60 yards.

CG Union vs. Peoria 11/27/20
The game was defined by big plays on offense and defense.
Early in the first quarter, Barro pulled a play out of his bag of tricks. On fourth-and-21, the Cougars executed a fake punt, going with a direct snap to RJ Keeton, who ran past everyone for a 44-yard touchdown.
Keeton rushed for 214 yards and three touchdowns, raising his total to 18 for the season. He also had one reception for 42 yards.
And the Casa Grande defense forced five turnovers, including three interceptions. The biggest of those was a 13-yard interception return for a TD by Justin Campbell early in the fourth quarter, which gave the Cougars a 41-30 lead.
"The pick six ... was when I knew we were gonna win the game," Barro said. "I knew we could run on them if we just did everything right."
In addition to Keeton's 214 yards, quarterback Angel Flores ran for 110 yards and a TD. Flores also completed 13 of 21 passes for 187 yards with a touchdown and a tipped interception.
What stood out above his stat line was the way he continually picked up key first downs in big moments, often with his legs but also throwing the ball.
"Very few kids possess that at the high school level," Barro said of Flores' ability to make big plays at in crucial situations. "You always talk about professional-level guys, and they just have the intangibles, they have that 'it' ... when the game's on the line, for a guy to just gut-check and make it happen ... he's a special young man, not just as a player but as a competitor."
Peoria stayed in the game largely because of receiver Brandon Price, who was electric. He had a 50-yard TD run, a 75-yard TD catch and finished with four catches for 165 yards.
The leading receiver for Casa Grande was Jett Hale, who caught three passes for 80 yards, including a 30-yard TD in the second quarter.
Middle linebacker and defensive leader Jake Thomas had a fumble recovery in the second quarter that led to a 75-yard score by Keeton. The three interceptions went to Campbell, Deandrey Kelley and Andon Eager.
Casa Grande led 21-16 at the half, after Peoria kicker Angel Islas drilled a 30-yard field goal to end the second quarter.
The Cougars rose to the challenge when the going got tough in a big playoff game, proving once again this team is unlike any Casa Grande team that has come before it.
Rugged Cougars blowing through obstacles
CASA GRANDE — Resiliency and relentlessness have been hallmarks thus far in a historic postseason run for the Casa Grande Union football team.

Weir, Alison
Lancaster and York. For much of the fifteenth century, these two families were locked in battle for control of the British monarchy. Kings were murdered and deposed. Armies marched on London. Old noble names were ruined while rising dynasties seized power and lands. The war between the royal House of Lancaster and York, the longest and most complex in British history, profoundly altered the course of the monarchy. In The Wars of the Roses, Alison Weir reconstructs this conflict with the same dramatic flair and impeccable research that she brought to her highly praised The Princes in the Tower. The first battle erupted in 1455, but the roots of the conflict reached back to the dawn of the fifteenth century, when the corrupt, hedonistic Richard II was sadistically murdered, and Henry IV, the first Lancastrian king, seized England's throne. Both Henry IV and his son, the cold warrior Henry V, ruled England ably, if not always wisely--but Henry VI proved a disaster, both for his dynasty and his kingdom. Only nine months old when his father's sudden death made him king, Henry VI became a tormented and pathetic figure, weak, sexually inept, and prey to fits of insanity. The factional fighting that plagued his reign escalated into bloody war when Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, laid claim to the throne that was rightfully his--and backed up his claim with armed might. Alison Weir brings brilliantly to life both the war itself and the historic figures who fought it on the great stage of England. Here are the queens who changed history through their actions--the chic, unconventional Katherine of Valois, Henry V's queen; the ruthless, social-climbing Elizabeth Wydville; and, most crucially, Margaret of Anjou, a far tougher and more powerful character than her husband,, Henry VI, and a central figure in the Wars of the Roses. Here, too, are the nobles who carried the conflict down through the generations--the Beauforts, the bastard descendants of John of Gaunt, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, known to his contemporaries as "the Kingmaker"; and the Yorkist King, Edward IV, a ruthless charmer who pledged his life to cause the downfall of the House of Lancaster. The Wars of the Roses is history at its very best--swift and compelling, rich in character, pageantry, and drama, and vivid in its re-creation of an astonishing, dangerous, and often grim period of history. Alison Weir, one of the foremost authorities on the British royal family, demonstrates here that she is also one of the most dazzling stylists writing history today.

A pretty good and engaging overview of the 15th century English conflict between the houses of York and Lancaster. This one focuses on the people and less on the social/economic context. If you want to know who was doing what during the Wars of the Roses, and get an idea of their motivations and personalities, this is the perfect book for you.
ben_rhiger thinks this title is suitable for 10 years and over
Great Britain — History — Wars of the Roses, 1455-1485.

Discover a selection of authentic wine and rum through this enriching tour, ideal for connoisseurs and enthusiastic amateurs alike.
The tour will start off with a visit to the Takamaka Winery, where you will get to discover local lychee wine production.
Next, you will visit the Rhumerie de Chamarel, a distillery producing a range of agricultural rums from pure sugarcane juice. The tour will end at the Rhumerie de Saint Aubin with a visit of the distillery as well as a tasting session of all the exotic flavoured rums it has on offer.
You also have the option of enjoying a delicious lunch menu at either the L'Alchimiste restaurant, Rhumerie Chamarel or at the Saint Aubin Restaurant.
Located in the heart of a luxuriant valley, the Rhumerie de Chamarel welcomes you for an all-encompassing experience through a guided visit of its distillery. You will have a guided tour of the distillery with one of the experienced guides, taking you behind the scenes of the rum making process.
As opposed to traditional rum produced by the distillation of molasses, agricultural rum is obtained by distilling pure cane juice, a process which gives it specific aromas and flavours.
During your visit you will have the opportunity of having a unique rum tasting session where you can try a selection of agricultural rums produced by the distillery. It is the ideal occasion for you to discover a special collection of rums, including white rum, Coeur de chauffe, exotic flavoured rums and vintage rums.
Discover the Rhumerie Saint Aubin, a plantation and an artisanal rum distillery, where Mauritius' very first agricultural rum was created, wholly from pure sugarcane juice.
You can visit greenhouses, where you will come across an assortment of anthuriums and tropical flowers. Learn all about rum production and the processes of distilling rum. A rum tasting session will give you the chance to try different, skilfully made rums, such as the white agricultural rum.
Saint Aubin has over the years developed a distinctive signature thanks to the precision invested into their distillation process, which instils into their rums an unmatched aspect of authenticity and originality.
As part of this visit to the Rhumerie de Chamarel, we offer you the opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch and a unique dining experience at the beautiful L'Alchimiste restaurant. L'Alchimiste specializes in a unique cuisine, prepared with local products sourced from the estate itself.
A few miles north of Souillac in the direction of the Rivière des Anguilles is the beautiful Saint Aubin Restaurant, hosted in a 19th century colonial plantation mansion. It was once a residence for the owners of the sugar plantation, and today it is a restaurant offering the very best of local Mauritian and Creole cuisine. | {

Emil Busch, född 6 augusti 1820 i Berlin, död 1 april 1888 i Rathenow, var en tysk optiker.
Busch fick 1845, efter en grundlig vetenskaplig och fackmässig utbildning, överta den av hans morfar, prästen Duncker, grundlagda optiska fabriken i Rathenow, vilken under hans ledning kom att växa betydligt. Som en viktig gren av fabrikens verksamhet kan nämnas tillverkningen av fotografiska objektiv. Så lyckades Busch 1865 konstruera pantoskopet, ett objektiv för arkitektur och interiörer. Med en synfältsvinkel av 105 grader och för sin tid förträffliga egenskaper i avseende på skärpa och korrekt teckning blev detta objektiv under lång tid det mest populära för nämnda ändamål. Fabriken övertogs 1872 av ett aktiebolag.

The Ford Haulers been photographed crossing this bridge for the last several decades. The Ford Plant is scheduled to close later this year. No one knows what will happen to this line, but we can only assume it won't be good. If the city finds a new customer to fill the void, it won't be the same without the big 86' boxcars and auto racks thats normally head through here. | {

Scores in the impaired range (see below) indicate a need for further assessment. Table 6.1 shows the growth inthe number of psychiatric beds in a number of European countries following the Second WorldWar where to buy dapoxetine in usa which ran counter to run-down in the UK and the USA. Stools must be well formed as some assays do not work with diarrhealsamples. Automated CO 2 delivery is thebest method and the risk of perforation is almost 0 % inasymptomatic adults. When the hormone binds near the carboxyterminus of the receptor where to buy dapoxetine in usa the restricting proteins(HSP-90, etc.) are released, the receptor dimeri-zes and the DNA binding regulatory segmentlocated in the middle of the molecule folds intothe requisite configuration. This resulted in a meantime of 43 h from ICU admission to the ? rst pro-tocol intervention unlike those patients in theearly goal-directed therapy studies where themean time to treatment was 1.5 h after arrival tothe emergency room.

The true relative risk is expected to lie somewhere between 1.37 and10.09 where to buy dapoxetine in usa with 95% certainty, so a conservative estimate of the effect is 1.37 (mod-erate: 37% increase in risk), and an upper estimate is 10.09 (large: 10-foldincrease). The patients were classified as either"early operative management" (<3 days, early OP), "lateoperative management" (>3 days, late OP), or "nonOP".The nonOP patients were predominantly treated with cer-vical orthosis (64 of 68).

Addressing Social Determinants of Health: How Health Care Organizations Can Act
By: Andrew Snyder, Chief Medical Officer, and Anita Cattrell, Chief Innovation Officer, Evolent Health
Years of research and data have shown that social determinants of health have a significant impact on the profitability and sustainability of the health care industry. In fact, when considered broadly across racial disparities, education, social support, transportation, healthy food and poverty, social determinants of health have been shown to account for more than a third of total deaths annually in the United States, and up to 60 percent of health care costs, eclipsing actual direct medical expense. This is most likely attributed to the imbalance of medical and social spending in the U.S. On average, nations that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) spend about $1.70 on social services for every $1 on health services; the U.S. spends just 56 cents.
To correct this imbalance, we need to shift a portion of our current health care expenditures to investments that address upstream social factors that heavily influence downstream outcomes. Evidence suggests that addressing social determinants of health is not only important for improving overall health, but also for reducing health disparities that are often rooted in social and economic disadvantages. For example, in addition to lower body mass index and fewer risk factors for chronic disease, early childhood education has been associated with higher levels of education attainment and income and lower rates of violent crime and incarceration.
Given the far-reaching impact of these efforts, the return on investments addressing social determinants accrues not only to the health system in the form of reduced health care expense, but also to the broader community. However, current financing structures make it challenging for public sectors to pool resources together and measure the "full" return of these investments, which consist of capital infusion, tools and community-level mechanisms to deliver services. Most provider organizations don't have the means to make these investments on their own, and those that have the means will likely find it difficult to see a near-term monetary ROI, as downstream efforts take time to take effect and may be extended beyond the health care system.
Pushing Forward by Working Backward
Until broader community impact can be measured, such that other sectors are helping fund these services, health systems will need to be thoughtful and targeted on where and how they invest in social determinants of health to ensure a positive ROI. By developing approaches that work backward from the outcome they're trying to change, health systems can take progressive steps toward targeting the underlying causes of these issues, rather than siloed steps that treat only symptoms.
Some of the cursory discussions of social determinants of health suggest that addressing single factors can have a large impact on outcomes. Analysis shows this not to be true, yet most organizations are still tackling these issues in a silo. For example, we've seen evidence that providing free transportation services to Medicaid patients does not decrease missed primary care visits, and that building grocery stores in food deserts does not alter dietary habits.
One big reason why these interventions are not showing impact is because they are not targeted at those who would benefit most, and another is that they frequently lack an agreed-upon point of accountability for integrating these social services into the broader health care planning for these individuals. For example, through our own analysis, we know that for a specific set of individuals, having a transportation barrier is associated with a 63 percent increase in risk of readmission. However, providing just a ride for those patients isn't enough. This needs to be coordinated with a medical professional visiting the home and ensuring that the conditions are conducive to a successful recovery. This includes making sure the patient has a follow-up visit with his or her physician; conducting a comprehensive medication review; and ensuring the individual has the support they need to obtain and adhere to the prescribed regimen to avoid a readmission.
But without someone taking accountability for coordinating this transportation service with all the other services needed, the chances of avoiding that readmission are low. It's the diffuse responsibility that's led to symptom-focused and ineffective solutions, and that's what needs to change to see widespread impact and an actual ROI on these types of investments.
When accountability is present, however, a chain of connections answering to one another can help identify overall goals that can be approached in a concerted way. The team can work backward from there to drive forward progressive steps toward bigger goals and address social determinants of health in ways that show marked impact on health outcomes. To help ensure that social determinants of health efforts are accountable and productive, health care organizations can use these three action steps as a guide:
1. Define accountability. As a care team comes online, they'll need a leader—one who is not necessarily responsible for addressing individual social determinants, but who is accountable to the patient for the results. Primary care physicians—already the "quarterbacks" for their patients' care and accountable for total cost of care in new payment models—are perfectly positioned for this role. To succeed, though, these quarterbacks must have a strong team behind them, consisting of dedicated clinicians who are integrated into a care delivery team and who themselves are empowered to advocate for change, act on data-informed recommendations and coordinate or monitor interventions within and without the health care provider.
2. Use AI and machine learning to create and follow a comprehensive map. To change a patient's health status and trajectory, one needs a clear understanding of where the patient is headed, what's pushing them in that direction and any roadblocks to better paths. Can they easily access a store that sells food appropriate to their recommended diet? If told to come in for a follow-up, can they make time during the day, or are they a sole caregiver to a disabled relative?
Disparate data sets can shed light on neighborhood food and public transit access, household type, education and financial history, clinical notes from the electronic medical record and other variables. When these data sets are aggregated, artificial intelligence and machine learning can flag variables that, when viewed together, can pinpoint both clinical and social risk factors and flag opportunities for either physician or community intervention. Such machine-learning resources can be designed to provide push-notifications and other interactive support tools that convert data sets into actionable insights while minimizing any additions to administrative time.
3. Redefine your measurement strategy by collaborating across stakeholders on shared goals. Realizing an ROI is muddy business when the investments made affect patients from multiple touchpoints. Metric definition and metric measurement, like interventions themselves, need to extend beyond a care provider's four walls. Work that has traditionally been done purely at the social level should now be married with health and outcomes data to more robustly predict areas of need and define success. Considerable barriers remain, as clinicians who answer to their own facility's balance sheets must answer to financial overseers who may not be willing to count a community benefit as a realized return. We may need to see new public discussion on tax exemption and definitions of community benefit here, but there's strong potential, if we get it right, to truly redefine managed care and community health if we can redefine the metrics of care outcomes.

About PEPPER
The Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER) is a Microsoft Excel file summarizing provider-specific Medicare data statistics for target areas often associated with improper Medicare payments due to billing, DRG coding and/or admission necessity issues. Target areas are determined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
PEPPER facilitates the prioritization of areas on which a provider may want to focus auditing and monitoring efforts. Providers are encouraged to conduct regular audits to ensure that medical necessity for admission and treatment is documented and that bills submitted for Medicare services are correct.
PEPPER can be used to review three years of data statistics for each of the CMS target areas, comparing performance to that of other providers in the nation, Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) jurisdiction and state. PEPPER can also be used to compare data statistics over time to identify changes in billing practices, pinpoint areas in need of auditing and monitoring, identify potential DRG under- or over-coding problems and identify target areas where lengths of stay are increasing. PEPPER can help providers achieve CMS' goal of reducing the likelihood of improper Medicare payments.
TMF, at CMS' direction, has developed various types of PEPPER including:
• Short-term acute care hospitals (developed in 2002),
• Long-term acute care hospitals (developed in 2005),
• Critical access hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities and inpatient rehabilitation facilities (developed in 2011),
• Hospices and partial hospitalization programs (developed in 2012),
• Skilled nursing facilities (developed in 2013), and
• Home health agencies (developed in 2015).
Visit PEPPERresources.org for more information on PEPPER, including sample reports, user's guides, recorded training sessions and national-level comparative data. View the PEPPER distribution schedule and information on how to get your organization's PEPPER.
HOSPITAL RATING AGENCY UPDATE
Hospital Rating Agency Update:
Balance Sheets and Business Combinations Provide Buffer in Difficult Operating Environment
Continuing a theme from last year, 2017 saw operating margins deteriorate because of long-term industry trends on the revenue side and rapid expense increases. Furthermore, capital spending needs remain high but mainly for shorter-lived assets such as IT, outpatient clinics and ambulatory services. Fortunately, 2017 was a better year than 2016 from a non-operating income perspective, as investment returns were good and the strong economy helped bolster contributions for many nonprofit health care providers. Industry forces continue to favor larger providers, leading to acceleration in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and affiliation activity. The combination of good non-operating income and consolidation improved the balance sheet of most hospitals and systems, particularly the large and highly rated ones. This balance sheet strength is always considered an extremely important credit attribute but especially in an environment where unpredictable but certain changes are coming.
Each of the credit rating agencies (CRAs) issue an annual report that summarizes past performance and provides a forecast for the upcoming year. With approximately 95% of the world market share for credit ratings, Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody's Investor Service (Moody's), and Standard & Poor's (S&P) reports provide a wealth of information which systems and standalone hospitals can use to make meaningful comparisons to financial benchmarks and emerging trends.
Operating PerformanceAfter three years of robust revenue growth from the end of 2014 through 2016, 2017 saw the winding down of increases attributable to Medicaid expansion resulting from the Affordable Care Act (ACA). All three CRAs reported revenue growth slowing rather dramatically. Meanwhile, the economic recovery that started nearly 10 years ago has slowly driven up labor costs in many service sectors. Health care is acutely affected by labor costs, as the supply of workers with the necessary skills or experience is limited, and consumer demands place a premium on quality and availability. In addition, pharmaceutical costs increased at a rate faster than inflation for the second consecutive year.
Moody's reported that the median expense growth rate slowed from 7.1% in 2016 to 5.7% in 2017, but the revenue growth rate was even slower, dropping from 6.1% to 4.6% over the same period. The CRAs all expect the negative operating factors to continue for the foreseeable future. In addition to the current expense challenges, demographic and consumer preference changes stand to dampen revenue growth for many years to come. Common themes among all three agencies include:
Aging population and changing industry dynamics weaken payor mix. All three agencies noted that Medicaid expansion from 2015 through 2016 contributed to slight improvement in payor mix, as the proportion of self-pay declined. However, the population continues to age, leading to a conversion from commercial payors to Medicare. Both Medicare and commercial payors have pushed initiatives for value or risk-based payment plans, which if nothing else, create uncertainty of reimbursement. In addition, more employers are pushing their covered employees into high deductible plans, which can lead to a reversal of the decline in self-pay. Finally, "the current administration continues its efforts to chip away at key components [of the ACA]…including diminishing support of the exchanges and benefit reductions."[1] This weakening support for the ACA also contributes to a rise in the uninsured rate, which contributes to higher bad debt expense and/or charity care.
Weak volume growth. Outpatient volume growth continues to exceed inpatient, but overall demand was very weak in 2017. Moody's notes that "median 1% growth in inpatient admissions marks the lowest rate of growth in three years, while outpatient growth slowed to 2.2%--down for the first time in five years." [2]
Slow transition from fee-for-service. Although movement has been slower than anticipated, a gradual shift from fee-for-service to at-risk sharing and value-based compensation models is changing the industry. The consensus view is that the change will favor large systems that can develop and maintain infrastructure to adapt to a population health environment.
Competition from specialized and non-traditional entrants. In addition to the decline in inpatient and outpatient growth, Moody's noted a decline in the growth of outpatient surgeries because of "an increasing supply of competing sites providing these more lucrative services." All three agencies emphasized the competitive threat from alternative providers. S&P commented that "the industry is also experiencing an unparalleled rise in nontraditional competitors aiming to provide care that is more consumer friendly, higher quality, and lower cost."
Consolidation as a means to gain negotiating leverage and framework for population health. With the gradual shift from volume to value, the increased need for and opportunities to use technology, and the general uncertainty of future changes, more providers are seeking to affiliate with other players through a combination of horizontal and vertical integration, network collaboration and M&A. Networks will be important in gaining negotiating leverage from a revenue and expense perspective and enabling providers to have sufficient infrastructure to manage in an environment where population health and access are key aims.
Management teams seek efficiency through varying strategies. As reimbursement mechanisms continue to change and margins get squeezed from both sides, it is imperative for organizations to adapt. Again, size offers an opportunity to achieve economies of scale, and the ability to afford stronger and deeper management teams. By focusing on expense efficiency and revenue cycle optimization, organizations can maintain acceptable cash flow.
Non-Operating Income and Cash FlowPartially offsetting the difficult operating environment, investment returns were generally excellent in 2017 and many providers enjoyed above average charitable contributions. Consequently, overall earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (EBIDA) margins were barely lower, despite the sharp decline in operating margin. The CRAs have observed a gradual reduction in debt burden in recent years, and the interest rate environment remained favorable throughout 2017. As a result, debt service coverage (DSC) was relatively unchanged from 2016 to 2017; although, some lower rated categories did see a decline. Median maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage remained at 3.9x in 2017 for the S&P portfolio of health care organizations. It remains to be seen if non-operating income can continue to make up for operating challenges, but we can assume the U.S. equity markets will slow down.
Liquidity and Capital SpendingThe strength of non-operating income helped to offset declines in operating margin, resulting in another year of improved balance sheets. Fitch states that liquidity metrics, "by any traditional ratio are at an all-time high point in the sector."[3] The CRAs also noted that the sector has experienced a long-term trend of moderating leverage resulting in improved debt/capitalization ratios. Capital spending remained above depreciation expense for the third year in a row, but average age of plant declined in many rating categories. For the most part, hospitals are shunning large replacement or expansion projects. However, capital expenditure remains strongest for the highest rated organizations, who "continue to try to lock in their business advantages—highlighted by continued spending on information technology, ambulatory care and population health infrastructure."[4]
Trends and ExpectationsThe following themes were common to all median reports:
There are few signs that the expense pressures will abate in the near term, revenue growth will remain slower and operating margins will be challenged.
The sector outlook is generally negative, but rating changes have been limited. Despite the headwinds facing the industry, ratings downgrades only slightly outpaced upgrades and the vast majority of ratings for all three CRAs remained stable. One reason for the ratings stability is that some highly rated systems acquired lower rated and struggling providers, thus there was a reduction in the number of low investment grade and non-investment grade organizations.
Hospital management and boards must strive to control expenses, find growth opportunities, respond to threats from a variety of competitors and maximize competitive advantages. The skill, experience and creativity of health care management teams will be increasingly important to the overall success of an organization. Therefore, the CRAs, as well as creditors and investors, will be increasingly interested in regular interviews with management teams.
As we mentioned last year, S&P, Moody's, and Fitch all signaled that 2015 was likely to be as good as it gets for the hospital sector. Revenue growth in 2016 was better than expected, but extremely fast expense increases squeezed margins. The following year, 2017, was indeed a very challenging year from an operational perspective, as margins were compressed even further. On the other hand, many hospitals used the recent "fat years" to shore up their balance sheets. Today, liquidity and debt/cap ratios are at all-time strengths, while debt service coverage is within the range experienced since 2008. The significant buildup in liquidity over the last 10 years helps provide a margin of safety, as operating margins continue to compress.
As the expense pressure and anemic revenue growth will likely not abate in the near-term, hospitals must continue to focus on efficiency, while investing prudently in capital projects that enhance the patient experience and/or improve the availability and use of technology. The management teams that can adapt to the change from volume to value and embrace the goal of population health will be poised to succeed in the future.

Go Go Go watch this movie right now! RIGHT NOW!
Once you start watching it, don't allow yourself to be distracted by the heroines doppelgangerish looks of Zooey Deschanel or the hero's resemble to Leonardo Dicaprio from the front angle and Chris Pine from the side angle – seriously it's weird and totally distracting. But don't allow that to happen. Because the true hero of this movie is the story and the wonderful acting by the characters. Don't allow yourself to get blindsided and try to place the actors because you're sure you've seen them somewhere. I got you covered. Now you know.
Wait for this side angle! It's crazy!
Don't get distracted by the charming Parisian apartment, or the charming Parisian people or the charming Parisian settings. Don't get distracted by the lead actors and their wonderful emoting and acting. Don't get distracted by the wonderful hero and his quirkily annoying – so cute but so frustrating - brilliantly portrayed character. Don't get distracted by his sponge shoes or the super cool game of multi dimensional chess he plays with his friend - or any of his inventions for that matter. Don't get distracted by the heroine's minimalistically uber-chic Parisian wardrobe, or geek chic glasses or her wonderful sense of comic timing.
I beg you. Don't get distracted.
Because what you will be missing is a wonderful simply complex love story. You'll miss the nuances and the jokes,the comedy and the love. This movie is just like Paris itself, slow and rich, filled with wonderful nooks and depth and character. Missing even a single second of such a brilliant movie would be a tragedy. So please please please. Don't get distracted.
If you must, get distracted by the love, the slow kindling and building of it between the leads, the progression from right now love to all time love, the struggle of inner conflict and dawning of understanding and acceptance, the moment when both the characters resign themselves to being in love and being vulnerable, something the director has handled * kisses fingers * beautifully.
My sister is coming into town soon and she speaks French - so does Ray for that matter - so when she does - guess who is rewatching it with her?
Here's the trailer: WATCH IT! | {

Expand your selection in comfort and style with the SKECHERS Relaxed Fit®: Segment - Melego shoe. Smooth oiled waterproof leather upper in a lace up mid high comfort casual oxford with stitching and overlay accents. Gel Infused Memory Foam insole.
Rated 5 out of 5 by traveler from A real walker Bought a pair a couple of years ago for Europe trip. I walk 5-8 miles a day on trips in all kinds of weather. Still look like the day I bought them. Comfortable, waterproof always dry. Been to Europe 5 times now the only problem is I'm the only male in all of Europe with a square toe. Need a dress shoe that's as practical, comfortable as this.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tommy from Just What I wanted Had to buy a backup pair for the sad day in the future that my first pair wears out, over a year old, and still going strong, Tread and tops still just as good as when I purchased. I'll be ready with this brand new backup pair. | {

Louisiana tops hit-and-run fatality list
On behalf of The Truitt Law Firm, LLC | May 16, 2018 | Car Accidents, Catastrophic Injuries, Motor Vehicle Accidents
The people of Louisiana can be proud of many things about their state and its residents. But one thing that shouldn't make that long list is that we are one of the top three states for hit-and-run related fatalities.
According to a new report by the AAA Foundation For Traffic Safety, Louisiana joins New Mexico and Florida as the states with the highest percentage of hit-and-run fatalities per 100,000 people. The study describes hit-and-run events as ones where a driver involved or responsible does not provide any or sufficient information before he or she flees the scene of the crash.
Drawing upon data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), this report's findings cover hit-and-accidents and fatalities across the United States in 2016 (which is the most recent year with available data). The national total is a record high of 2049 fatalities among a record high of 737,100 hit-and-run crashes. While the states with the largest number of fatalities were California (337 deaths) and Florida (206 deaths), Louisiana's 42 deaths warrants the highest level because of the number of deaths per 100,000 in the state.
Common themes in these findings
No two crashes are alike with a variety of atmospheric and human variables involved. However, there were some common themes that emerged from the data:
· Pedestrians and bicyclists were by far the most common victims of hit-and-run.
· Often testing above the legal blood alcohol content level of .08 percent, the drivers arrested for hit-and-run were often young males who had been previously convicted of DUI and license suspension.
· Hit-and-run fatalities were least likely to occur when a crash happened in front of a large number or potential witnesses or in a well-lit area.
Leaving the scene makes matters worse
Unfortunately, not staying at the scene of the accident and promptly reporting it to authorities often means medical care isn't dispatched immediately. This delay in treatment can lead to more severe injuries including death. From a legal standpoint, hit-and-run charges and others that can come with it will make the penalties more severe. Moreover, law enforcement resources are tied up by trying to solve the accident and track down the fleeing driver.
While the urge to flee after an accident may be feel strong, drivers need to remember the victims. These people and their families lives are changed by these crashes. There is the pain and suffering of the resulting injuries, but there is also the loss of income and the expense of medical bills. An attorney can be helpful in exploring compensation for the injury to a victim or death of a loved one involved in a hit-and-run. | {

Is Sotomayor An Abortion Centrist?
By swaldman
One has to assume Obama wouldn't have appointed Sonia Sotomayor without some indication that she's pro-choice but — based on very, very little information — I wonder if she might not end up being an abortion centrist.
First, in Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush, she actually ruled against the pro-choice group on Constitutional grounds.
Second, in Amnesty America v. Town of West Hartford, she ruled in favor of the rights of anti-abortion protestors.
Neither of these cases dealt with the merits of abortion. Nonetheless, it's interesting that in the two cases we know of that related partly to abortion, she took the position that pro-life groups would have wanted (albeit for reasons unrelated to Roe v. Wade). At a minimum, these cases would seem to indicate that, if she is pro-choice, she didn't let those views affect her view of the relevant law.
Third, though we certainly can't generalize, it is the case that Hispanics are the most pro-life members of the Democratic coalition. In Beliefnet's "12 Tribes" study conducted in the summer of 2008, 58.9% wanted strong restrictions on abortion, while 41.1% took the pro-choice position. She may well be in the 41.1% but at a minimum she grew up in an environment where the pro-life position was well-respected.
I realize this is thin gruel, and new information might turn up any second showing her strong pro-choice position but I'm based on what we know now I'm not sure we can assume she's hard-line pro-choicer.
UPDATE: Interestingly, Americans United for Life has issued their statement opposing Sotomayor — but it lists no specific pro-choice comments or rulings from the judge. Instead, they focus on her general judicial philosophy: "She believes the role of the Court is to set policy which is exactly the philosophy that led to the Supreme Court turning into the National Abortion Control Board."
UPDATE #2: The White House briefing also points to her ruling in Lin v Gonzales in which she ruled in favor of a Chinese woman who sought asylum in part because of the force sterilization and abortion policies of the Chinese government.
UPDATE #3: She reportedly was on the baord of a group formerly called the Maternity Center Association, now called Childbirth Connect. They list "20 Rights of Childbearing Women." None of them relate to the "right to choose." In fact, I find no mention of abortion on their website.
UPDATE #4: Nancy Keenan, the head of NARAL, the leading pro-choice group, praised her accomplishments but had no sense of whether Sotomayor is pro-choice: "We look forward to learning more about Judge Sotomayor's views on the right to privacy and the landmark Roe v. Wade decision as the Senate's hearing process moves forward."

The double standards as applied to Gov. Palin vs. Sen. Obama are pretty astounding. Charles Gibson would not dare interview Obama the way he did Palin, yet both are similarly (in)experienced. Many seem to seize on Palin's abortion stance as a sign of religious extremism, but hers is no different than just about every other Republican candidate for president since 1980. I could not vote for the McCain/Palin ticket, but I admit it puts a smile on my face to see them interrupting the Obama coronation. | {

Mordowo () ist eine Siedlung städtischen Typs in der Oblast Tambow in Russland mit Einwohnern (Stand ).
Geographie
Der Ort liegt knapp 90 km Luftlinie südwestlich des Oblastverwaltungszentrums Tambow unweit der Grenzen zu den Oblasten Lipezk und Woronesch. Er befindet sich am linken Don-Nebenfluss Bitjug.
Mordowo ist Verwaltungszentrum des Rajons Mordowski sowie Sitz der Stadtgemeinde (gorodskoje posselenije) Mordowski possowet, zu der außerdem die Dörfer Strelzy (9 km westnordwestlich) und Tschernjajewka (5 km nördlich des Zentrums) sowie die Siedlung Otschiwka (4 km westlich des Zentrums) gehören.
Geschichte
Der Ort wurde erstmals 1744 urkundlich erwähnt; als Gründungsjahr gilt 1707. Im 19. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich Mordowo zu einem Handelszentrum lokaler Bedeutung und war (seit 1782) Sitz einer Wolost im Ujesd Usman des Gouvernements Tambow.
1928 wurde Mordowo Verwaltungssitz eines neu geschaffenen, nach ihm benannten Rajons. 1968 erhielt der Ort den Status einer Siedlung städtischen Typs.

Anmerkung: Volkszählungsdaten
Verkehr
In Mordowo befindet sich die Station Oborona bei Kilometer 547 der durchgehend 1871 eröffneten Eisenbahnstrecke (Moskau –) Grjasi – Wolgograd. In südlicher Richtung zweigt eine Nebenstrecke nach Ertil ab, die seit 1914 in Betrieb ist. Die Bahnstation trägt ihren Namen (russisch für "Verteidigung") seit 1932, in Erinnerung an Ereignisse des Russischen Bürgerkrieges, als es 1921 der Roten Armee gelang, die Station gegen Aufständische unter Alexander Antonow zu verteidigen.
Westlich der Siedlung führt die föderale Fernstraße R193 vorbei, die Tambow mit Woronesch verbindet.

CAIRO – Egypt's ruling military council has blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for raising tensions in the country by releasing election results early.
Friday's statement comes as tens of thousands rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square to support the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for president Mohammed Morsi. The group declared Morsi the winner hours after polls closed.
The military council says announcing the results before an official statement was "unjustified" and is the main reason behind the confusion and divisions plaguing the political situation. | {

I noticed that the ability '' painkiller '' for the medic doesn't generate any kind of coloured smoke compared to the other boosts, this leads the ''pain-killed'' target often not even noticing he has the buff, and he will often waste the opportunity to tank the damage that painkiller allows him to.
Just a tiny suggestion, keep up the good work lad !
Should be done with a green visual (like the blue adrenaline, but green), not tested though.
Yep it works fine, maybe a little too bright.
Well, thanks for hearing the suggestion and implementing the thing so fast, good work lad! You need anything ( suggestions, playtesting, is playtesting even a thing ? ) just let me know.
Maybe you know, or someone else.
Will investigate and edit in the results !
EDIT: I couldn't find any problems with the green smoke and the flares on dark surfaces, hower on the snow ( majority of the map ) and on the grass I was bearly able to notice it.
The smoke was difficult to spot both out and in a smoke grenade field when a flare was near.
I would recommend making the color slightly darker, to make it get less bright when lighted by a flare and more visible on the snow. | {

FMLA Not Really Working For Many Employees
By Jennifer Ludden
Published February 5, 2013 at 2:24 AM CST
Jeannine Sato holds her 2-year-old son, Keni; 5-year-old Hana is held by her father, Mas Sato. Jeannine decided to leave her job when her employers said she could take six weeks off after giving birth to her first child or risk losing her job.
Twenty years after President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act, workers' rights groups say many employees still must choose between their family or their job.
They're marking the anniversary with calls to expand the law, and for Congress to pass a new one that would provide paid leave.
What Falls Under The FMLA?
FMLA provides up to 12 weeks per year of unpaid leave if an employee has a new baby or a serious illness in the family. But there are a number of restrictions, meaning some 40 percent of the workforce is not eligible.
"It has a very narrow definition of family," Ellen Bravo, of Family Values @ Work, says.
Same-sex partners can't use it to care for each other, and people can't use it to care for a grandparent. Only those who work at least 25 hours a week are eligible, even as an ever growing share of the labor force is part time.
"Many people are [cobbling] together two or three part-time jobs, none of which have enough hours to make them eligible for Family and Medical Leave. So this is a disaster," Bravo says. "We have to bring the rules in line with the realities of the workforce."
Crucially, businesses with fewer than 50 people are also exempt.
Not Eligible For FMLA
"I was shocked to find out that I wasn't eligible for FMLA," says Jeannine Sato, who became pregnant when she was a manager at a North Carolina nonprofit that touted its family-friendliness. She was told to return to work after six weeks or risk losing her job.
"I had a lot of issues with that," she says. "A difficult delivery. I had a colicky baby. My husband was working. It was very stressful, and I left as a result of it."
Ironically, Sato's husband's employer — an even smaller firm — felt so badly for the couple that it voluntarily gave him a month of unpaid leave.
Sato realizes she was still lucky. Today, she works with low-income women who are new mothers.

Sato holds Hana as she speaks during a 2009 press conference at the North Carolina state Legislature about the need for paid sick days.
"I see parents going back to work after one or even two weeks because they have no paid sick [leave], they have no vacation, they're not eligible for FMLA," she says. "Even if they were eligible, they couldn't afford to take the unpaid time off."
FMLA Not For Everyone?
"Employers have constraints on them," says Marc Freedman, the head of labor law policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which led opposition to the Family and Medical Leave Act.
He says even unpaid leave is too big a burden for many small companies. For larger businesses, he says FMLA works pretty well for new parents, but medical leave can be a nightmare for employers to track.
Freedman says it's especially challenging when workers use it intermittently, with no advance notice.
"It's a ripple effect," he says. "Other people have to cover for them. Customers are left wanting. It can create a lot of problems throughout the workplace."
Taking Days Off
The Society for Human Resource Management says FMLA is consistently the top issue for employers who call its hotline. Among their questions: Which employees are eligible? And which illnesses are "serious health conditions"?
Then there's misuse of the law. Freedman says the leave was deliberately left unpaid to prevent that, and yet "the day of the year when FMLA leave is accessed the most is the day after the Super Bowl."
Still, a new survey by the Labor Department finds the vast majority of employers say it's easy to comply with the law and that misuse is rare.
And if there are some bad-egg workers, the same can also be said for some businesses.
Pushing Through The Pain
"It was described to me as if something really disastrous happened," says Mo Kessler, who used to work at a national grocery chain in Kentucky.
She told her bosses she had endometriosis and suffered excruciating pain a few days each month. But no one ever mentioned that she could use FMLA leave, and, at the time, she didn't know better. Kessler says she was told to push through the pain, or be written up.
"I would try to hide in the back because my face was so pale," she recalls. "I was so visibly sick that I needed to hide away from the customers, to not scare them off!"
With so many gaps and such confusion, the main debate over work and family has moved away from the FMLA and back to the original aim of those who pushed for the law: paid family leave.
Grass-roots organizations have been pushing such measures in states and cities across the country in recent years.
California and New Jersey have both passed a paid family leave insurance program in the past decade, and advocates hope they might be a model for federal legislation. They hope that will happen before another 20 years pass.

Newcastle's Lambs
Posted on March 8, 2019 by JuliaH
At the beginning of the English Civil War, in 1642, William Cavendish of Bolsover and Welbeck Abbey who was the Earl of Newcastle at that time gave Charles I £10,00 and raised a troop of 200 horsemen. In June of that year William was sent to secure Newcastle. He was on his way to becoming the king's general in the north and about to start a military dance with Lord Ferndinado Fairfax and his son Sir Thomas Fairfax that would only end in 1644. Not that it was all plain sailing. The slide to war met with opposition and not every local lord was keen on Cavendish's recruitment campaign.
Cavendish summoned his tenants and the trained bands of the North. They came largely from Northumbria at the beginning of the conflict- remember he was also Earl Ogle – his mother was Catherine Ogle. He kitted them out in a new uniform – the coats were undyed because, according to Margaret Cavendish's biography of her husband, the soldiers asked for them to be left white so that they could dye them in the blood of their enemies. They were also kitted out with caps of so-called Scots' blue. The "whitecoats" or "lambs" had an identity that was immediately recognisable on the battle field.
In total there would be seven divisions of Whitecoats. Their first action might have been against the trained Bands of Durham who seemed to have had a falling out with the men left by Cavendish whilst he went on to Newcastle to secure it for the king. The earl went back to Durham and smoothed ruffled feathers. One of the men from the Durham trained bands stated that he liked the earl well enough but not his soldiers.
At first the Royalists dominated the war in the north. They first saw action at Tadcaster and the following year (30 June 1643) at the Battle of Adwalton Moor. The battle initially went against the royalists because of the position that Fairfax held on a ridge and because Newcastle didn't have enough musketeers but ultimately there was a final push of pike led by the wonderfully named Colonel Posthumous Kirton – you may not have royalist sympathies but what's not to love about the name Posthumous Kirton! Kirton's attack ultimately caused the Parliamentary left wing to collapse. The war continued and Newcastle's Regiment of Foot fought where it was required in the North, Yorkshire and the Midlands, but there is surprisingly little information on its exact movements.
The Whitecoats saw action at the sieges of Hull and Gainsborough as well in 1644 of York – when they were being besieged and repulsed the Parliamentarian forces when they breached the walls at St Mary's Tower by mining it. The tide had turned against the Royalists in 1644 when the Scots became involved. This was why Newcastle was forced back into Yorkshire.
Rupert of the Rhine arrived to relieve York on the 1st July 1644 but took charge of the army and insisted on fighting the Parliamentarians. On the following morning he led his own men out onto Marston Moor between Tockwith and Long Marston. The Whitecoats joined Rupert at 4pm having spent the day looting what was left on the Parliamentarian siege line. The earl arrived in his carriage. Aside from a little skirmishing the two armies faced one another and waited. Rupert will have been able to work out that his army was smaller than that of Parliament – by some 10,000. By 7 pm the Royalists decided that there wasn't going to be a battle that day so settled down for the evening. There was also a thunderstorm. At which point the Parliamentarian army attacked. It didn't all go Parliament's way. Thomas Fairfax had to make his way through the Royalist lines on his own at one point. Victory really belonged to Oliver Cromwell who turned his wing in an arc behind the Royalist force.
At the Battle of Marston Moor Newcastle's Regiment of Foot were killed almost to a man. They remained in formation in the centre of the Royalist line and it is thought defended White Syke Close. The Parliamentarians recognising their bravery asked for their surrender but the regiment refused. By the time the Whitecoats died the battle was already lost – their deaths were futile. They were buried in mass graves where they fell. If you walk the route of the Battle of Marston Moor White Syke Close is marked on the ordinance survey map. Alternatively take advantage of a Country File walk which outlines the battle and leads you on a circular walk, https://www.countryfile.com/go-outdoors/walks/marston-moor-north-yorkshire/ The Battle Fields Trust website has information about the battle and the site today.
It is thought that William Cavendish was the last Royalist commander left on the battle field. Personally brave but not necessarily charismatic he arrived in Scarborough the following morning where he boarded a vessel bound for Hamburg. He had £90. Upon arrival he borrowed £160 and set off for Paris and Henrietta Maria. At the family seat of Welbeck Abbey his daughters would have to face a Parliamentarian force, hide the family plate and get some of their father's art collection to safety.
The image of the Battle of Marston Moor was painted in 1819 by Abraham Cooper. He painted a second image of the battle in 1824 entitled Rupert's Standard.
I would politely remind you that I am not a battle field historian although I can describe key moments in some of the battles of both the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War. I can also tell you that it is incredibly easy to get lost on Marston Moor even when armed with a map and book of war walks – although a couple of fully costumed re-enactors emerging out of the morning mist is certainly enough to make you sit up and pay attention.

Sir Philip Musgrave – A royalist commander in the North West
Posted on July 22, 2018 by JuliaH
At the onset of the English Civil War the inhabitants of Cumberland and Westmorland can't be described as being very enthusiastic for war – although they were largely nominally Royalist. In the North East, the Earl of Newcastle levied a force and roused some stronger feeling although his tenants did, on occasion, simply ignore his warrant.
The Earl, no doubt feeling that the west of the country should be more proactive, appointed Sir Philip as commander-in-chief of the two counties. Sir Philip Musgrave of Edenhall was already a militia colonel and based on the content of a letter in his correspondence had taken steps to act against known parliamentarians in the area – Sir Patrick Curwen of Workington found it expedient for his friends to intercede with Musgrave on his behalf for instance. He was not very active but the musters he did insist upon were sufficient to irritate Sir John Lowther – who didn't want Sir Philip to do anything at all. Essentially he felt undertaking the minimum would increase the likelihood of drawing Parliament's attention on the northwest while Sir Philip hoped that doing very little would ensure that Newcastle would stay on the opposite side of the Pennines. Somewhat bizarrely Musgrave and Lowther engaged on a long drawn out feud over who had the right of the matter which involved several of Cumberland's leading families including the Dacres who resisted Musgrave's command.
Sir Philip was the son of Sir Richard Musgrave, the 1st baronet of Hartley Castle. Sir Richard died in 1615 when his son was just eight. His career trajectory followed that of many of other gentleman of the period. He was educated at Trinity College Oxford and then was found a suitable wife- Julia Hutton- from within his own county. He became the Deputy Lieutenant for both Westmorland and Cumberland. In 1642 he was made a commissioner for array – that is to say he was responsible for raising Cumberland's levy of soldiers for the king. There were problems over the exact nature of his commission from Newcastle and assorted feuds to contend with. However, by 1644 he was able to supply a force to join with Prince Rupert's army.
Things changed in 1644 because of the intervention of the Scots. On one hand York was captured by Parliament thus causing royalists to come north and secondly Carlisle now stood in danger of capture. When the city finally fell to Parliament Edenhall had been damaged and Sir Philip had to ride south with a royalist troop to join with the king. At the battle of Rowton heath in September 1645 Sir Philip was injured and subsequently captured. Records indicate he was sent to York and from there to Pontefract. Meanwhile his lands were sequestrated.
Sequestration was a means by which that Parliament was able to fine Royalists and confiscate their goods. Sir Philip's belonging were valued at £308 in the spring of 1643. Not only were his cattle and sheep assessed but a figure was also attached to the bees in the hives on his land.
Musgrave was released at the end of 1645 and he went to Newcastle. From there he finally made his way home the following year. Suffice it to say, Musgrave was loyal to the Stewarts and became involved in the 1648 rising in Scotland which resulted in Musgrave capturing Carlisle on the 29th April. Musgrave before seeking to capture Appleby. Unfortunately for Musgrave Parliament gained the upper hand before the Duke of Hamilton and his army could take advantage of the way into England.
Rather than face General Lambert Musgrave sued for parliamentary protection which he gained, not that this prevented him from fleeing to France in 1649. As a direct result of this involvement with the so-called Scottish engagers Musgrave's lands were confiscated in 1651. His wife was required to sue for maintenance, Sir Philip having been excluded from any act of amnesty by the Treason Act which confiscated his land.
Sir Philip did not remain quietly in France. He negotiated with the Scots, travelled to England and was even offered Governorship of the Isle of Man by the Countess of Derby. In part his apparent freedom to travel around the realm which had declared him traitor resulted from his friendship with Lord Wharton who even lent his son the money to buy the sequestrated estates back. It was however, one step too far when Sir Philip turned up at his newly repurchased estates. He was arrested and sent to London where he was charged with various conspiracies against parliament. If he himself was not involved it is probable that one or more of his sons was. Ultimately Sir Philip was released but not until £2000 bail had been paid and even then Parliament was keen for him to remain outside his home county.
Musgrave returned to Cumberland in 1660 with the Restoration. He returned to doing what gentry do – being a JP and member of parliament. He was also the mayor of Carlisle in 1666 having also been its governor and the captain of the castle.
He died in 1678 having fought at the Battle of Marston Moor and the Battle of Worcester. In between times he had fathered seven children, been granted a peerage by Charles II which he never took up and acquired the right to take tolls on cattle passing through Cumberland (of which he did avail himself).
It would have to be said Sir Philip is one of those figures in history that the more you dig around the more that you find – although sadly not a portrait.

Charles Cavendish – cavalier (1620-1643)
Let us return today to the Royalist summer of victories in 1643. It was really only in the east of the country that events did not go all Charles I's way. On 20 July 1643, Lord Willoughby captured Gainsborough in Lincolnshire for Parliament. This meant that the Earl of Newcastle could not now communicate so easily with the royalists at Newark and he could not simply march south expanding royalist territory. The Committee of Safety scratched their various heads and then sent Oliver Cromwell and Sir John Meldrum from the Eastern Association Army to back up Lord Willoughby as he was being threatened by the Royalist military commander – Colonel Charles Cavendish – who was the nephew of the Earl of Newcastle.
Charles, born in 1620, was the younger brother of William Cavendish the third Earl of Chatsworth and the epitome of a Hollywood cavalier unlike his brother who appears to have been much more retiring. Apparently Charles had travelled as far as Greece and Cairo in happier times as well as the more usual Italy and France. As you might expect of a nephew of the Earl of Newcastle he was ferociously Royalist. He had gone to York in 1642 to offer his services to the king; been part of Prince Rupert's cavalry charge at the Battle of Edgehill on the 23 October 1642 and had then been offered command of the Duke of York's troop (a sudden vacancy had arisen). From there he persuaded his family to raise sufficient funds for him to form his own body of men making him a colonel and the royalist military commander for Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. It was Charles Cavendish who took Grantham for the king on 23 March 1643 and sent the Parliamentarians packing at Ancaster the following month. In the space of a year he had changed from being a volunteer guards officer to a Colonel in charge of an entire region. Possibly, the gift of £1000 into the king's war chest may have expedited matters.
Anyway, the Parliamentarians came across Cavendish's dragoons south of Gainsborough on the morning of 28th July 1643. The Royalists had the advantage of high ground which they lost during a Parliamentarian cavalry charge. The Royalists ultimately fled on account of the fact that the Parliamentarians were learning a thing or three about tactics but Charles had kept his own men in reserve and was very sensibly planning to nip around the back of the Parliamentarians to attack their rear. Unfortunately a certain Colonel Cromwell spotted the manoevre and attacked the Royalist rear instead. Cavendish fell from his horse during the fighting and was killed by Captain Berry with a sword in the small ribs. Ultimately the Parliamentarians, who definitely won the battle, were unable to hold out against Newcastle.
Years later when Charles' mother, Christian Bruce, was buried in All Saints Church, Derby on 16 February 1675 the bones of her long dead son were interred with her as she had asked. The funeral sermon by William Nailor described Charles as a "princely person," "the soldiers' favourite and his majesty's darling." It also described Charles as being like Abner and related to the Stuarts through the Bruce connection. The full text can be found in the snappily entitled A commemoration sermon preached at Darby, Feb. 18, 1674, for the Honourable Colonel Charles Cavendish, slain in the service of King Charles the First, before Gainsborough in the year 1643.
The picture at the start of the post is by Van Dyck and is at Chatsworth whilst the picture above is at Hardwick Hall (I think).

English Civil War 1644
1644 was a year where no one gained the upper hand and the casualties of war grew. The arrival of the Scots in the Civil War ultimately tipped the balance of power in Parliament's favour but as a result of amateur approaches to warfare the Second Battle of Newbury failed to end matters once and for all. This had the knock on effect of ensuring the rise of the New Model Army and Cromwell's Ironsides.
January 1644 started with the usual petitions and recruitment. Pay remained an issue. For example Hopton who led the rather successful Western Army for the king in 1643 found himself dealing with mutineering. Five hundred of his men simply marched off with their weapons to join the Parliamentarians in Poole. In the midlands as armies ebbed and flowed Nottingham fell once more into Parliamentarian hands and Newstead Abbey, the home of Lord Byron, was looted whilst he was besieging Nantwich on behalf of the king. This resulted in the necessity of Fairfax crossing the Pennines to Manchester with a view to relieving the siege. The result is the Battle of Nantwich on 26th January 1644 which Parliament won despite the bad weather and prevailing soggy conditions. He went on to besiege Latham House near Ormskirk on 28th February where the Countess of Derby held out for the king. Her husband was on the Isle of Man. Rather than a direction confrontation she played for time which worked to a degree although Fairfax ordered his men to build earthworks around the house.
At the beginning of February, Newcastle was back in Newcastle to stop the Scots from occupying it on Parliament's behalf and the royalist garrison at Newark started to feel a bit uncomfortable as well they should because by the end of February, which was a leap year, Sir John Meldrum had besieged the town. He had 5,000 men and rather a lot of ordinance but the royalists held out. Prince Rupert marched his men from Wolverhampton to Newark to relieve the siege on the 21st of March.
Meanwhile two of the Parliamentarian generals were at loggerheads with one another. Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex felt that Edward Montagu, Earl of Manchester (pictured above) was getting the better part of the deal from Parliament. Montagu, married to a cousin of George Villiers in the first instance married for a second time to Ann Rich, the daughter of the Earl of Warwick – the Parliamentarian Lord Admiral. He turned from Court towards a more Puritan way of thinking and did not support the king in the Bishop's War. He was also the peer who supported John Pym at the opening of the Long Parliament and was the one member of the House of Lords who Charles I wanted to arrest at the same time as the five members of the House of Commons. In 1642 he was on his third wife (another member of the Rich family) and had become the Earl of Manchester upon his father's death. Manchester had been at the Battle of Edgehill but his was one of the regiments that had fled the battlefield. After that he was eventually appointed to the command of the Eastern Association Army – regiments covering Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridge. By the end of 1643 East Anglia was very firmly in Parliamentarian hands and Manchester's men had broken out into Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. This should be contrasted with Essex and the Western Association Army performance. It is perhaps not surprising that Parliament effectively allowed Manchester to by pass Essex and to liaise with the Scots and with the Fairfaxs.
By April Selby was back in Parliamentarian hands as Lord Fairfax retrieved the ground that had been lost the previous year. Newcastle also returned to Yorkshire and occupied York. The Earl of Manchester was ordered to York at the same time as Parliament realised that Prince Rupert and his men were also heading in that direction. Inevitably York now found itself besieged with the royalists inside and Lord Fairfax outside. It would have to be said that before that point had been reached Newcastle had got most of his cavalry out of the city.
Meanwhile on the other side of the Pennines Sir Thomas Fairfax was throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, at Latham House. On the 23rd April he asked the Countess of Derby to surrender. She declined. At the other end of the country parliamentarian Lyme Regis also declined to surrender. The townsfolk were hoping that the Earl of Warwick and his navy were going to come to their rescue. Oxford prepares to be besieged by the Earl of Essex who took nearby Abingdon which the Royalists had abandoned. Charles I had to leave the city for fear of capture.
Meanwhile the Royalists in York could look over the city walls and watch as the Earl of Manchester and his men arrived. Its best to think at this point of Prince Rupert haring around the countryside relieving Parliamentarian sieges and helping Royalist besiegers to storm their targets. He did not cover himself in glory at Bolton where the defenders were slaughtered. The war was beginning to take a decidedly less gallant turn. Essentially large houses across the country swapped hands – some with the modicum of upset, others after much ammunition had been used. Meanwhile the king arrived in Worcester and the Parliamentarian armies of Waller and Essex chased after him although somehow Waller managed to lose the king and end up in Gloucester.
The movements of the armies and key figures seem to be very much like a game of strategy where nobody is quite sure of the rules. The king, for instance, next surfaces in Buckingham, whilst Prince Rupert rocks up in Knaresborough. His job is to relieve the siege of York.
With so many men and armies in the vicinity it is perhaps no surprise that July 2nd saw the Battle of Marston Moor. The Parliamentarians on hearing the news that Rupert was int he area had withdrawn from around York and taken up a position to bar Rupert's approach to the city. Rupert did not take the bait, he crossed around behind the Parliamentarians at Poppleton and wrote a note to Newcastle telling him to get himself and his lambs into position. Newcastle wasn't terribly happy with these orders. All he wanted was for the Parliamentarians to march off and leave York in peace.
Fairfax and Manchester,along with the Scots under the command of Leven were at Tadcaster when Rupert assumed the correct position for battle on the morning of the 2nd. A messenger carried the news to the Parliamentarians to the effect that Rupert was "up for it." Consequently the parliaments had to turn around and go back. The Royalists had the moor and the Parliamentarians had farmland. There was a ditch between the two sides. By four in the afternoon there had been no move to battle and by seven the royalists had settled down by their campfires. At which point the Parliamentarians made their move – which though not particularly gallant was militarily rather sensible.
Fairfax opposed Goring on the right wing: Goring 1 – Fairfax O. Goring and his men got side tracked by the baggage wagons. Crowell was on the left wing facing Lord John Byron (pictured right): Ironsides 1 – Royalists 0. Prince Rupert turned the fleeing royalists round and sent them back into battle. Rupert and his men were evenly matched with the Ironsides. Essentially they hacked one another to a standstill at which point the Scottish cavalry charged in on the Royalist flank and scattered them.
Fairfax needing to communicate with Cromwell took off his sash and his field sign and rode across the battlefield, paling through Royalist lines as he did so, to provide Cromwell with accurate information about what was happening. Cromwell, and his men circled the field and came up behind Goring and his men who were busily looting Fairfax's baggage train.
Meanwhile Newcastle's lambs at the centre had fought doggedly through the whole encounter. Now they were forced back and rather than leave the field they died to a man. William Cavendish, Earl of Newcastle was the last royalist commander left on the battlefield. As his men were slaughtered he ultimately made his way back to York and from there to Scarborough. At Scarborough he sailed for Hamburg. The North was lost to the Royalists. More than 4,000 of their number died at Marston Moor.
In the Midlands, Welbeck Abbey, one of William Cavendish's homes, fell to the Parliamentarians – who helped themselves to tapestries and silver plate. Royalist Newark began to feel the pinch once more and Rupert made his way back to the SouthWest where Essex wasn't having such a victorious feeling as his counterparts in the North. Ultimately he had to make an undignified escape from Lostwithiel. Basing House in Hampshire was still being pummelled.
The king seems to have spent much of the second half of the year popping up all over the country being pursued by various parliamentarians. He had planned to relieve Basing House but that went awry so he decided, instead, to relieve Donnington Castle – bearing in mind there was no such thing as a motorway network the various armies marched huge distances a the drop of a hat. This meant that they were required to live off the land – which was not good news for anyone who happened to be in the path of any army and its destination. On the 22nd October Charles was in Berkshire, near Newbury. Cromwell, Manchester and Waller took to the field but the king escaped under cover of darkness and scarpered in the direction of Bath. From there he returned to Oxford – as clearly the Parliamentarians had cleared off by that time.
As the year drew to the close Parliamentarian generals were still writing to London politely suggesting that their men should be paid, Rupert was still popping up like a jack in the box and Basing House was still under siege. Lord Fairfax was quietly sitting outside the castles of Pontefract and Knaresborough but had been given orders to sort out the royalists in Newark as well. Knaresborough did surrender by the end of the year, not that it was much consolation to Lord Fairfax who felt that he was being over-stretched with insufficient men or money to do Parliament's bidding.
In London, Parliament was pointing fingers about who was responsible for the failure to administer a crushing defeat on the king at the Second Battle of Newbury and the Self-Denying Ordinance is proposed which would prevent members of Parliament (Lords or Commons) from holding military command. Whilst the Commons agreed to the idea the Lords were less keen but would pass a revised version of the ordinance in 1645.
All in all – a very depressing year and that's without considering Scotland, the Covenanters and the Earl of Montrose.

The Civil War in Yorkshire
Essentially we have covered the fact that during 1643 the Earl of Essex's parliamentarian Western Association army did not have a great deal to shout about. Meanwhile in Yorkshire the same Commissions of Array were delivered and like their counterparts in the SouthWest the gentlemen of Yorkshire and the Midlands were forced to decide where their loyalties lay. Hull and Leeds were important towns. Both declared for Parliament, Hull rather noticeably by refusing to let the king into the town in 1642.
Initially the Earl of Cumberland was in charge of the Northern army. Henry Clifford (the fifth earl) was given the job because he was deemed to be the senior aristocrat in the region. He was not a warrior so it wasn't too long before parliamentarian garrisons began giving him the runaround and he was forced to summon help in the form of William Cavendish, Earl of Newcastle.
By contrast the Parliamentarians had men whose names reverberate through history. Sir John Hotham was the governor of Hull; Sir Hugh Cholmley led the garrison at Scarborough and then in the West Riding there was Ferdinando Fairfax (pictured right) and his son Thomas (pictured at the start of this post). The only difficulty was that Hotham didn't appreciate Fairfax being the senior commander. The Fairfaxes controlled the West Riding and extended their hold from there to Tadcaster. Their main opponent in the West Riding was Sir William Savile.
When Newcastle crossed the Tees with his army it became apparent that the trained bands of men from Richmondshire and Cleveland would refuse to fight the Royalists. Sir John Hotham's son called on troops stationed further south in the East Riding to help him repel the royalists but on 1 December 1642 there was a coming together at Piercebridge. Newcastle had 8,000 men. Hotham had considerably fewer. Unsurprisingly Newcastle won and was in York by 3rd December.
Tadcaster looked a bit precarious so far as the Parliamentarians were concerned. The Fairfaxs were outmanned and it did not help that although Ferdinando had received Parliamentary orders to the effect that he was in charge neither the Hotham's nor Sir Hugh Cholmley appeared to believe them. Cholmley was told to move his men into position so that the West Riding was protected from Newcastle's military designs. Sir Hugh returned with the majority of his men to Scarborough. There may have been some scratching of heads about this particularly manoeuvre as back in London, John Pym described Scarborough as being "not very useful." Not that it would have made a great deal of difference to Newcastle's superior numbers and it was perhaps more of an indicator that Cholmley was thinking of swapping sides – something that he did in spring 1643 having been sweetalked by Queen Henrietta Maria.
Fairfax realised that he needed a bigger army and began a recruitment campaign. Tadcaster and Selby remained in Parliamentary hands for the time being. In November Thomas Fairfax occupied Wetherby. They held important river crossings and if they could get enough men together they could threaten York but they still did not have an army that could match Newcastle's.
On 6th December 1642 the Earl of Newcastle attacked Tadcaster and from there captured Pontefract. Fairfax withdrew to Selby where he realised that the West Riding had been cut off from the East Coast Parliamentary garrisons.
Whilst the Fairfaxes had their hands full Sir William Savile made his move in the West Riding. He occupied first Wakefield and then Leeds. From there he marched on Bradford which was expected to put up a fight. The weavers were inclined to non-conformity, were in financial difficulties because of the collapsing cloth trade and were troubled by the fact that Bradford which had once been a royal manor had been sold to pay Charles' debts and as a consequences tenants in that manor had suffered a considerable rent hike. All things considered they were not going to hand the town over to the king's man without a fight even if it didn't have a wall. On 18th December 1642 Savile was beaten back. In addition to the trained bands Savile found himself confronted by clubmen – these men were paid by no army. They were armed with whatever they could find that could be turned into weapons.
On 23rd December Sir Thomas Fairfax left Selby and spurred through royalist held Yorkshire with his men to reinforce Bradford. It was the one remaining pinpoint of Parliamentarianism in the West Riding although of little strategic value and almost impossible to defend long term.
On the 23 January 1643 Fairfax took the war back to the Royalists. He and his men marched from Bradford to Leeds with six troops of horse, dragoons, musketeers and 1,000 of the irregular clubmen. They took 500 prisoners whilst Sir William was forced to flee.
In March Ferdinando decided to withdraw from Selby – exposed as it now was. On the 30 March he feinted towards Tadcaster, where the Royalist garrison seemed to have had a bit of a panic attack because they promptly fled to York. This enabled Fairfax to dismantle the town's defences. Meanwhile Newcastle sent George Goring to prevent Fairfax from taking Tadcaster – by the time Goring and his men arrived Fairfax's men were at Bramham Moor. Goring attacked them at Seacroft on the outskirts of Leeds. Goring's men were mounted and Fairfax was outflanked. 800 men were taken prisoner in the chaos that followed but the majority of Fairfax's army had already made it too Leeds when the attack took place.
On the 20 May 1643 the second Battle of Wakefield was fought. Fairfax was under pressure to get his men back. The idea was that either they could be freed or if enough royalists could be captured an exchange of men could be negotiated. In a bizarre twist of events a small band of parliamentarians led by Sir Thomas Fairfax captured a garrison of more than 3,000 royalists. Poor old George Goring had been tucked up in his bed at the time the raid started and although he had got himself sorted out enough to lead a counter-attack against Fairfax he had found himself facing some of his own artillery that had been captured and turned on the royalists. He was taken prisoner along with more than 1,000 other men and sent down to London where he remained in The Tower until 1644, no doubt having some difficult conversations about the fact that in 1642 before the outbreak of war parliament had paid him to secure Portsmouth against the king. He had actually secured the port for Charles and there had been a month long siege before Portsmouth was handed over to Parliament and Goring fled to the Netherlands only returning when Henrietta Maria raised men and munitions to help her husband.
By the summer of 1643 the Earl of Newcastle controlled most of Yorkshire and his men had gained something of a reputation for looting. Only Bradford held out. In part Newcastle couldn't really do much between March and June because Henrietta Maria was in Yorkshire. She'd landed in Bridlington on 22 February 1643 and had been waiting for a safe route to be opened so that she could join her husband once more in Oxford – it was, in part, for this reason that Newark was captured by the Royalists and remained a royalist stronghold throughout the rest of the first English Civil War. The queen journeyed south on the 4th June freeing Newcastle from his royal protection duties.
Newcastle having waved farewell to the queen gathered his army and set off in the direction of the West Riding. There was no wall at Bradford. Fairfax had no choice but to stand and fight. Fernando and Thomas marched out of Bradford and met Newcastle on the 30 June 1643.
It looked for a while as though Fairfax would win the Battle of Adwalton Moor but it was Newcastle who won the day. On the night of 1st July Ferdinando and the Parliamentarians broke out from Bradford and made for Hull giving the order that Leeds should be evacuated as well – for the timbering the West Riding was in Royalist hands. Thomas was left behind to cover their escape. On the 3rd of July he made a similar escape along with his wife and daughter. Bradford was down to its last barrel of gunpowder. It was at this stage in proceedings that Ann Fairfax became separated from her husband and was captured. In between times her husband and father-in-law had an exciting interlude at Selby when the royalists tried to intercept them as they were crossing the river there.
Newcastle who wrote scurrilous verse about serving maids in his youth showed every gallantry on this particular occasion by sending Ann to her husband in Hull (the Fairfax's arrived there on the 4th July) in his own carriage with a military escort to ensure her safety.
Hull now found itself under siege for a second time – though not necessarily particularly wholeheartedly. Newcastle meanwhile turned his attention from the West Riding to Sheffield where the iron masters were turned to making armaments for the king. He went on to capture Gainsborough and Lincoln. Lincolnshire was in the hands of Parliament's East Association Army.
Of course, whilst the cat is away…the Fairfaxs will take advantage of the opportunities provided. By August Fairfax was back in Beverley and was raiding ever closer to York.
Newcastle stopped rattling the Eastern Association Army and went back to Yorkshire to squelch heavily upon those dratted Fairfaxs. The Second Siege of Hull began in all earnestness on 2nd September 1643. Newcastle set to work creating a series of earthworks for his artillery. A fortnight later the Parliamentarians opened the sluice gates and flooded the royalists out just as they had done during the first siege. Even more irritatingly for Newcastle, the town was being provisioned from the sea by the navy which was in Parliament's hands.
On 22 September a certain Colonel Cromwell crossed from Lincolnshire to Yorkshire where he offered muskets and gunpowder to the Fairfaxs. On the 26th Thomas and his men left Hull to join the soldiers of the Eastern Association Army. Ferdinando Fairfax remained in Hull until the 12 October when newcastle lifted the siege following some violent military encounters. Meanwhile the Eastern Association came to blows with the Royalists at Winceby and won.
All in all 1643, apart from the bright spot of Essex's victory at Newbury had been a dismal one for Parliament but in Lincolnshire a certain Oliver Cromwell was beginning to make his mark. The summer of Royalist victories was over and in the north men like Ferdinando, Lord Fairfax and his son are being recognised as men who could turn the tables on the Royalists.

Francis Sullivan appointed chair of Catholic Social Services Australia
Francis Sullivan, former CEO of the Catholic Church's Truth Justice and Healing Council speaks at the national Catholic social services conference in Melbourne. Image: Melbourne Catholic/Supplied.
Francis Sullivan has been elected the new chair of Catholic Social Services Australia Ltd during the first meeting of the entity since its recent consolidation.
Mr Sullivan has held a number of significant roles within and beyond the Catholic Church, including as Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Health Australia and as Secretary-General of the Australian Medical Association. As CEO of the Truth, Justice and Healing Council, he led the Catholic Church's engagement with the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
He is currently the executive chair of the board at Mater Group, which comprises several hospitals, health centres, an education provider and a research institute.
Mr Sullivan takes over the role from Maria Harries, who had served as chair of Catholic Social Services Australia for the past seven years.
Paying tribute to Dr Harries, Mr Sullivan said "Catholic Social Services Australia has been led with great commitment and determination in recent years, and I know her legacy in this organisation is profound".
"What I can promise is that I will bring a similar passion for the Church's outreach to the people our social service agencies support and for whom CSSA advocates," he said.
"The rich Catholic understanding of the dignity of every person, the preferential option for the poor and the pursuit of the common good will continue to motivate the work of the CSSA board."
Dr Harries' professional life has been dedicated to assisting children and families, particularly in relation to mental health and trauma associated with their experiences of abuse and violence.
In her report to the recent annual general meeting, she told members: "CSSA embodies the image of open arms everywhere – represented by our members who have not retreated one centimetre during the additional challenges we have all faced." She explained that "COVID-19 is the second pandemic; the first pandemic is poverty".
Catholic Social Services Australia CEO Ursula Stephens has welcomed the new executive team who will help to shape the future of the consolidated entity.
"The board has a strong vision for the future of CSSA as the national voice for the social services mission of the Church. Francis brings to the board a depth of wisdom and experience that will guide our organisation through the challenges of addressing the injustices made evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, as we all engage in restorative and healing services so necessary for the most vulnerable within our communities," Dr Stephens said.
Sr Kathleen Tierney RSM was elected to the role of deputy chair and Michael Austin, CEO of CatholicCare Wollongong, as treasurer.
With thanks to Catholic Social Services Australia. | {

Student Records and Policies
Guest Applications
Warriner Hall 212
Email: [email protected]
The Registrar's Office maintains your student records. Below you'll find information about how to request changes or updates to your records, verifying your enrollment and confirm your residency status.
Changing Your Name, Social Security Number or Date of Birth
You will need to submit the Student Record Change Form along with documentation to make changes.
Name Changes, including adding an alternate/preferred/chosen first name
You are responsible for maintaining a current and correct mailing address with the Registrar's Office for official university correspondence.
Our system can maintain up to two addresses for you: a permanent one and a local address. You can update and maintain your address by logging in with your CentralLink account.
The permanent address is initially taken from your Application for Admission. You may change this address as needed.
The local address is the address where you are currently residing. If you receive financial aid, it is important to have a correct local address on file as soon as possible.
Billing statements and other official university correspondence are sent via email to your CMU email account. If you need assistance with setting up your email account, contact the Help Desk at 989-774-3662.
Failure to receive university mailings shall not constitute a basis for an exception from university policies.
You can find your current semester verification by logging into your CMU and following this path:
Choose My Account
Go to Academics
Select Enrollment Verification (National Student Clearinghouse)
Verifying your enrollment let's you:
Obtain an enrollment certificate to process as needed.
Check your enrollment history.
View student loan deferment notifications sent to health insurers and other providers.
View information about student loans.
Future Semester
You may obtain a "Letter of Intent" verifying you have registered at CMU for that semester. To obtain a Letter of Intent as a CMU student, you will need to contact the Registrar's Office by email at [email protected] or phone 989-774-3261.
Residency Status Information
Effective Fall 2018, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students who are United States (U.S.) residents shall qualify for in-state tuition rates. This does not apply to specialty programs with unique tuition rates. To determine resident status by Central Michigan University (CMU), "domicile" is defined as the place where an individual intends his/her true, fixed, and permanent home and principal establishment to be, and to which the individual intends to return whenever he or she is absent from CMU. The individual must demonstrate "domicile" within the U.S. as a U.S. citizen, or proven "domicile" in the defined territories, or outlying possessions, of the U.S. subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. This policy is designed to explain how a student may demonstrate the required intent and establishment of domicile as defined prior. An individual whose activities and circumstances, as documented to CMU, demonstrate that he or she has established a U.S. domicile and intends to be domiciled in the U.S. will be eligible for classification as a resident. An individual whose presence in the U.S. is based on activities and circumstances that are indeterminate or temporary, such as (but not limited to) educational pursuits, will be presumed not to be domiciled. The burden of proof is on the applicant to demonstrate with clear and convincing evidence that he or she is eligible for resident classification under this policy. To overcome a presumption of nonresident status, a student must file a properly completed Application for Resident Status and document with clear and convincing evidence domicile in the U.S. has been established. Furthermore, CMU reserves the right to audit enrolled or prospective students at any time concerning the eligibility for resident classification and to reclassify students who are registered under an improper resident status.
Current Applicants
Please contact admissions processing with any questions about your resident status or tuition rate.
For questions about a change in resident status, please contact:
Keith Malkowski
CMU Registrar
Email: [email protected]
To have the Resident Status Application mailed to you, send your name and postal address to:
Documents of Apostille
The US Department of State describes this process as being used by one country to denote to another country that a document being sent is now "authenticated" or "legalized" so that it can be recognized as valid in the foreign country. The apostille is actually a sealed certificate that confirms the authority of a public official, notary public, etc., and their right to act in a particular capacity in connection with a document that he or she has signed. In the US, this charge is given to the individual states, and in Michigan, the Secretary of State is the custodian of the Great Seal which is applied to such documents and has the ability to verify the legitimacy of individual notary publics within Michigan. | {

Q: What do the difficulty levels do in Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon? In Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon, (a free adventure game on iOS), there are three difficulty levels:
*
*Beginner Balloonist
*Brilliant Balloonist
*Bonkers Balloonist
What are the differences between each difficulty level?
A: From what I found, the difficulty levels make it easier or harder to pass through a level. NBC an article about Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon.
The following quote is what led me to believe this.
Some parts of each stage do get tough, but you can control that by choosing from adjustable difficulty settings — from Beginner to Bonkers.

Q: What's the deal with the C:\Program Files\xerox\nwwia folder? It doesn't contain anything, can't be deleted. Seems to just hang there forever.
Does anyone here knows what its story?
A: Apparently (from this forum):
Xp has inbuilt ability to scan and OCR docs.
This ability was licenced from Xerox, despite the fact that every scanner uses it's own ocr program much better than XP built in generic hit or miss form
If you are determined to use the inbuilt XP version, if your scanner will let you, it will use the Xerox/nwwia folder as tempory holding place for the files while it processes them.
It is perfectly harmless so leave it alone.
A: According to this it's a harmless "ghost" file.
A: I read a post on ask-leo.com that basically said nobody knows why it is there, but may have something to do with "Windows Image Acquisition", and that it is the windows login process that has the directory open. Also, it is safe.

Third-Party Management at Metro Credit Union
POSTED Aug 03, 2020 | Author Mia Cawley
Wolf & Company, P.C.
Developing a technology strategy around third-party management from a blank piece of paper might sound unmanageable for most financial institutions. But for Metro Credit Union—the largest state-chartered credit union in Massachusetts—approaching technology as a grassroots effort contributed to their tremendous growth. Acquiring this known recognition required tackling some hurdles first, such as conquering vendor monitoring challenges; establishing greater integration with their risk management subsets; and eliminating spreadsheets.
1) Vendor Monitoring
Without a centralized tool or platform to analyze all of their vendor relationships, it was difficult to understand how the existing vendor relationships impacted the credit union. A complete upfront inventory meant understanding their vendor ecosystem (i.e. who they were doing business with and what types of relationships they had with others); properly risk rating each vendor relationship with an appropriate and consistent scoring methodology (from a contractual standpoint); and monitoring these vendors (which ultimately became the a significant time challenge).
2) Integration
Integration was a key selection criteria in choosing WolfPAC over other leading stand-alone tools. The need for full integration with other risk management subsets—and having all the data flow into their board reporting—removed any silo possibilities. The benefit from the integrated platform highlighted one solution as their system of record as it pertained to third parties and risk management.
3) Spreadsheets
Metro knew that using spreadsheets as an internal risk management tool wasn't scalable. Vendor management became more complex as they grew, creating an essential need to completely outsource their third-party management solution to both WolfPAC and Maple Street.
Metro needed to embrace a responsive framework for its third-party relationships—one that would accelerate their growth by deploying technology internally and externally, and by facilitating service to its members through offered products and services.
WolfPAC Integrated Risk Management® gave Metro the key data insights they needed. Using the WolfPAC modules allowed them to see how third parties and technologies were intertwined, and how those relationships impacted their daily processes. Previously, this information flow was handled as discrete workflows within their own silos, which didn't allow for an overall view of essential data (and lead to pertinent information getting lost in the shuffle).
Through its partnership with WolfPAC and Maple Street, Metro has increased its productivity and efficiencies by moving its third-party management initiatives into a web-based environment. What used to be considered an intensive, time-consuming effort that required an extensive process to reach out to all vendors is now a comprehensive, streamlined effort. As the additional experienced efficiencies are in scale, a dedicated vendor staff is no longer required because the tool grows with the company. Adding unlimited vendors, unlimited technologies, and modifying the operating procedures as the tool grows with them has become an easy task.
When Metro needed greater vendor monitoring internally, Maple Street filled that role. Maple Street became responsible for the execution of the inventory and the risk management component, conducting risk assessments and determining the needed monitoring frequency.
With all the collected data on each vendor resulting in an effective vendor rating, the question now evolved into how to decipher that information. With hundreds of vendor relationships from a payable standpoint, it became necessary to break down the most critical vendors and those that provided services. Managing hundreds of vendors in-house became unwieldy for a dedicated Metro Credit Union resource to manage, so WolfPAC's Third-Party Risk Management provided the needed infrastructure solution through contracts management and self-monitoring.
Both WolfPAC and Maple Street simplified the process for Metro Credit Union by consolidating critical vendor documents that are now shared in the industry. Metro's own productivity increased by 50%, as all their third-party documents are now consolidated in a vendor package with a completed analysis. Performing a management review on that vendor package, which is viewed in a portal, saves Metro countless hours and prevents starting from scratch to chase individual documents.
Metro's main task has become more strategic, as opposed to tactical, in ensuring that the two systems are accurate and reflect one another. For example, every identified contracted vendor in the WolfPAC platform corresponds to a Maple Street contracted vendor record contract. This results in the two services complementing each other with the full risk assessment—specifically, the risk management capabilities of the WolfPAC system coupled with the vendor management services from Maple Street. Now in its second year of working with Maple Street, Metro envisions expanding on some of Maple Street's services, such as vendor performance statistics work, cost expense reduction, and aligning the vendors with parameters of the contract.
"Metro's chosen third-party solution approach has made us feel safe, and kept our members safe. Going back to the threat-based risk assessments and our ability to easily see where our threats are as an organization, how those threats map to our relationships, and what controls we have in place to mitigate those ensures we feel safe with all the key modules," said Traci Michel, SVP of Operations. "If a gap exists, we can see it very easily in the color coded charts and then I know, based on the criticality, where we should spend the time, money, and resources to remediate. Without that in-depth view bringing it all together, you are either going based on gut, grasping at straws, or you're spending hours and hours trying to parse spreadsheets to get there. It definitely cuts down the analysis time significantly and gives us a good feeling that we have the right controls in place."
Another benefit of this partnership is that regulators have annually acknowledged Metro's strong foundation with WolfPAC. Having WolfPAC previously implemented before going through their vendor management project, Traci has heard many times from their consultants that "they are in a better place than most clients going through this because they have inventoried technologies, inventoried our third parties, you know where your data flow and risks are, and we were able to export that. If we did not have WolfPAC in place prior, we would have again done an immense amount of foundational work just to get ourselves prepared."
We're glad the regulators are happy, but we're happier knowing Metro Credit Union feels WolfPAC Integrated Risk Management "keeps members safe and keeps the organization safe."
