SOAtest and Virtualizecan work with services leveraging the MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) and XOP (XML-binary Optimized Packaging) technologies. You can elect the binary content to include—as well as validate, send and receive—optimized messages.
Click on the tool'sMisc. or Optionstab and choose Custom from the Attachment Encapsulation Format drop-down menu.
Note that MTOM Always or MTOM Optional can be selected at thetest or Responder suitelevel in the SOAP Client Options tab or in the SOAP Client page of the Preferences panel.
Reference to file: This is the recommended option. This option allows you to select a file to send as optimized content.SOAtest and Virtualize readthe contents from the file as the contents are being sent on the wire. This way, the file contents are not stored in the suite.
Additionally, the file to be sent can be driven by data sources by selecting Parameterized from the drop down box and selecting a File Data Source. For more information about File Data Sources, seeConfiguring a File Data Source in SOAtest or Configuring a File Data Source in Virtualize.


Cameroon's 2017 human rights progress was marred by gross violations like kidnappings, hostage taking, highway robbery, arbitrary arrest, police custody and abusive detentions, an activity report from the National Commission for Human Rights and Freedoms has revealed.
Going by the report, presented to the public by Dr Chemuta Divine Banda, the Commission's Chairman, "there was the persistence of security concerns mostly in four regions of the country; the Far North, the East, the North West and South West regions." According to the report, 1113 complains of human rights violations were filed at the commission in 2017. Such offences include mob justice, forced disappearance, suspicious death and torture.
While doling out some proposals to administrative authorities which to him will improve the situation of Human Rights in Cameroon, the chairman of the National Commission of Human Right and Freedoms equally highlighted some difficulties faced by the commission in their quest to gather information in some places, among which is the commission's limited access to detention facilities.
The report, according to the Chairman, was published in keeping with the law of 22nd July 2004 that setup the commission. The law states that the National Commission for Human Rights and Freedoms is expected to publish its activity report and a report on the situation of Human Rights in the country every year.

OHRP letter highlights importance of having student subject P&Ps
Problems involving student research participants are rare, but even the occasional issue can be a major headache for IRBs and research institutions. That's what one organization discovered when a confidential complaint resulted in an investigation by the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) last year.
University IRBs need clear policies regarding student enrollment, experts say
One of the simpler ways to prevent regulatory problems with student or employee research recruitment is to have clear, well-outlined policies and procedures (P&Ps) or guidance available for all to see.
Research data warehousing is a complicated project for IRBs
One of the biggest research changes many health systems and universities are facing involves building an enterprise data warehouse that integrates data from various institutions. Its potential has grown in recent years with the growth of electronic health records.
THRIVE model shows how IRBs can collaborate effectively
The theory behind a hospital-university research and IRB collaboration is that both organizations have different strengths, and together they can facilitate studies and research ethics review more efficiently. One such model is THRIVE, a new, inter-organizational partnership model.
IRB considerations for nanotechnology protocols
Once the stuff of sci-fi novels and movies, nanotechnology (NT) — the manipulation of matter on the tiny nanoscale — now has practical applications in everyday areas such as engineering and healthcare. NT is currently being used in clinical trials to develop diagnostic tests and targeted drug delivery devices, especially for cancer treatment, experts say.
IRBs win awards for best practices, innovation
The Health Improvement Institute's (HII's) Awards for Excellence in Human Research Protection recently honored two IRBs that streamlined and implemented new systems for efficiency and information-sharing to improve approval turnaround times and quality of human subjects protection in the areas of best practices and innovation.

Mastering Recommendations
DDPi - The New Preferred Master for CD Replication
- George Geurin
The DDPi (Disc Description Protocol image) is now acknowledged as the superior production master for any optical disc medium - CD, DVD or Blu Ray. The DDPi is an absolutely error-free master, which creates a superior sounding CD in the case of audio, and also creates CDs that are more reliably played by cheap CD players, boom boxes, car players etc.
Originally just DDP, it has actually been around for more than a decade, and has been the standard in video for that long. It also has been in use in audio CD mastering and replication, but on a much smaller scale. The DDP breaks the audio, subcodes, TOC and metadata down into separate elements; five or six files total in the file set. It was originally delivered on an 8mm video cartridge created by a machine called an Exabyte. The downside was it required a specific, costly machine at both the mastering room and the CD plant. And it was a mechanical tape cartridge, which can fail.
So enter the future, and for some, the present: DDPi. DDPi contains all of the elements of a DDP Exabyte tape, but it is written directly to a hard drive in the mastering room and can then be delivered to the CD plant on a data CD-R or DVD (to: Creative Sound Corp, 5515 Medea Valley Dr., Agoura Hills, CA 91301) or if available it can be uploaded directly (by using a large file program like TransferBigFiles.com to our email: csound@csoundcorp.com).
CD Titles: When album information is displayed on a computer, it's a result of your CD being registered in an online database (also known as CDDB). A similar but different technology is that of CD-TEXT, which shows album information that is actually encoded on your supplied master disc. CD-TEXT will only display on players that support it. The most common CD-TEXT capable players available today are aftermarket car stereos.
In adding CD Text, there are couple of things to note. CD Text is supported in some - not all - CD players ranging from audio decks, to standalone carousels and mini systems. Secondly, if you've burned your CD master with software like Nero or Toast, that allows you to manually associate titles and names with each track, then once you've burned your disc, it should call up the information provided the system you're playing it on supports CD Text.
Adding song info for Winamp or iTunes is a different process altogether. It's a comparable result, but meant for broader recognition. In order to add song info, you or your mastering engineer needs to submit the information to the Gracenote Music Recognition Service, formerly knows as the CDDB (Compact Disc Database). In order to do this, you must either purchase Gracenote CDDB MusicID software and license, or have it done for you by a recording or mastering engineer who owns a copy. The submission of your MusicID tags, titles, and name associated with a recording generally takes about 48-72 hours to appear in the database, however, this is still not a guarantee that the textual designation associated with your recording will appear in certain players that don't support it. (Normal cost to setup titles on your master is $125)
II. TRACKSHEET
Prepare an accurate list of beginning and ending points for each track. This should include the song titles if applicable.
Please indicate any unusual noises or special effects. Include relevant comments regarding the quality of the recording.
Note whether pre-emphasis is used on each track.
A sample follows:

The research oriented MS (thesis) and PhD degrees require a minimum of 23 semester hours of didactic coursework, which includes both core and elective courses. These courses are selected in consultation with the Research Advisor, Advisory Committee, and the Department's Graduate Program Director. Each student is also expected to participate in the Department's seminar program where both literature and research seminars are delivered to students and faculty on a weekly basis during the semester.
MS Students in the non-thesis program take an additional 10 semester hours of coursework in lieu of research credits. Full curricula requirements for all tracks are detailed below.
Upon entering the graduate program, all students register for research rotations with two potential advisors. This laboratory rotation program is designed to expose the student to the available research opportunities in their area of interest. Upon completion of the rotation series, a student is eligible to select a Research Advisor (the advisor usually is, but need not be, one of the rotation advisors). Consult this of faculty who are available to serve as advisors. Descriptions of these faculty and their research interests will help you select a potential research advisor.
Once the advisor is selected, an Advisory Committee is formed, typically consisting of three or four faculty members with appropriate expertise, and is designed to assist the student in their research endeavors. With the aid of the research advisor, you will write a research prospectus outlining your proposed research program. This prospectus must be presented to and approved by your Advisory Committee before you can begin the thesis research.
Students in the MS Thesis and PhD Programs are expected to carry out an independent, original research project under the direction of a one of these graduate faculty members in the Department, with the guidance of an Advisory Committee. The equivalent of at least 2 semesters of full-time research are minimally required to qualify for the MS Thesis degree, while at least 4 semesters of full-time research are minimally required for the PhD degree. Additionally, thesis students are required to present (MS and PhD) and publish (PhD) their research findings as a part of their degree requirements.
Upon completion of the research project that is necessary for the MS (thesis) and PhD degrees, you must write a thesis describing your research accomplishments, and successfully defend that thesis at a final oral examination before the members of the Advisory Committee.
Each student in expected to have completed the courses listed below, or their equivalent, at an accredited college or university.
*ST 710 (Biostatistical Methods) may be substituted at the recommendation of the Advisor or Advisory Committee for those students with no statistics background.
** Students must participate in CH-802 every term after their first year. The first time taken students will receive 2 credits for the course, in subsequent terms, the course will be taken for 0 credits.
*Courses must be approved by Advisor or Advisory Committee.
† May include up to 6 credits of 300 or 400 level courses approved by Advisor and Program Director.

In Jelastic Java PaaS developers can choose whether they want to use Java 6 or Java 7 on their application servers. Now that Java 7 has been out for a few months and available in Jelastic since early September, we thought we would take a look at penetration of Java 7 compared to Java 6 within the environments.
This might be due to the fact that Jelastic launched in the US later than in Europe – so the higher Java 7 use might simply demonstrate that Java 7 adoption is growing.
We will keep posting these updates on a monthly basis so you can track the dynamics of Java 7 adoption.

Rouse Properties Acquires Greenville Mall for $50.3 Million
Written by Nate Hunter
Greenville, N.C. — The property is 95.5 percent leased with average inline sales of $375 per square foot.
Greenville, N.C. — Rouse Properties Inc. has purchased the 460,800-square-foot Greenville Mall in Greenville for nearly $50.3 million. The seller was a private partnership managed by Gregory Greenfield & Associates. The property is the only enclosed regional mall within a 40-mile radius and serves a trade area of more than 400,000 people, according to Rouse Properties.
The development opened in 1966 and was renovated in 2001. The center is anchored by Belk and JC Penney. Dunham's Sports will also anchor Greenville Mall when it opens in late 2013. Additional tenants include Victoria's Secret, Buckle, American Eagle and Bath and Body Works. The mall is 95.5 percent leased with average inline sales of $375 per square foot. Rouse Properties assumed an existing $41.7 million non-recourse loan with a 5.29 percent interest rate and a December 2015 maturity date.
Rouse Properties is a publicly traded real estate investment trust based in New York City. The company's portfolio includes 32 malls in 19 states totaling 21.8 million square feet.

If this has been happening or the threat is perceived as real then it might help to explain, in part, why the more expensive properties in London have been dropping in price for the past 18 months.
i know two Nigerians and they are both talking about it.
The rot started by Nu Labour is spreading.
Soon it will officially be "guilty until proven innocent".
If true I can't help but feelthis is big news and it should be moved to the main economy and house prices section for at least a while to get more views. Plus if true it's not an anecdote.
If it's dirty money, why on earth would they keep it in a UK bank account anyway? stupid or complacent? It was probably safer under the floorboards of their ill gotten London pile.
Have they tried saying pretty please?
Imagine working your blood, sweat and tears out to save £60k, trying to protect your hard-won assets by getting it away from the corrupt tentacles of Nigerian politi-thieves, only to have to stolen instead by British politi-thieves in our supposedly "corruption-free" democracy. Galling.
Sure, some Nigerians probably moved the proceeds of crime out, but I highly doubt it is all from crime. All the Nigerian government has to do is label moving your own goddamn cash out of the country as "illegal" and then they can claw back your legitimately-earned money. Literal slavery.
I dont think the sums are in the several 10k.
I dont know. Pick a name, they are all bent.
To get an UWO you really have to be diddling several million.
Dodhy theyve got a 7m mortgage too.
If its legit then they just cough up the paperwork, e.g. business accounts from Nigeria, and be on their way.
There is a lot of cash in the UK that is the savings of people like this nigerian guy, who think their own politicians are dodgy not knowing that is the same the world over.


This recipe is quite simply stunning: hard to imagine how something so easily prepared can taste so good. Its history is colourful, too. It was first discovered by Elizabeth David and published in her splendid book Italian Food. Then the Italian chef Franco Taruschio at the Walnut Tree Inn, near Abergavenny, cooked it there.
Lay the pepper halves in the lightly oiled roasting tray. Now put the tomatoes in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave them for 1 minute, then drain them and slip the skins off, using a cloth to protect your hands. Then cut the tomatoes into quarters and place three quarters in each pepper half.
After that, snip one anchovy fillet per pepper half into rough pieces and add to the tomatoes. Peel the garlic cloves, crush and divide equally among the tomatoes and anchovies. Now spoon 1 tbs of olive oil into each pepper, season with freshly milled pepper (but no salt because of the anchovies) and sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar. Place the tray on a high shelf in the oven at 180°C for the peppers to roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Then transfer the cooked peppers to a serving dish, with all the precious juices poured over, and garnish with a sprig of basil leaves. These do need good bread to go with them as the juices are sublime – focaccia would be perfect. We often serve this as a side dish to go with a nice grilled Rib eye steak.
Can be done with different types of fresh tomatoes, baby plum or cherry tomatoes, but never with tinned tomatoes. The balsamic vinegar can be left out if desired, but I think the sharpness of the vinegar really adds to the dish (and the wonderful juices).


Thursday 6th July. 11.30 AM � �A� Stage, Shepperton Studios. Raleigh tempts the queen with tales of the open ocean � a place she knows she will never see but can imagine in the pages of the books and charts that lie scattered on the floor..
For this scene we find Queen, Raleigh and Bess in the reading and music area of the private chambers set. The art department have dressed this area with floor cushions, replica musical instruments, music and books. Of course finding period books is not easy and many of ours, on closer examination, are 17th and 18th century texts rather than Elizabethan. However the keen eyed viewer might notice that the books open on the floor reflect the queen�s own interest particularly at this time, including works on comparative religion and even a �banned� Spanish text. But perhaps the most interesting thing about the books (and this is also true of the furniture) is that they look like Elizabethan books and furniture look today (i.e. 500 years old). At the time all this would actually have looked new but to the modern eye this reads wrongly � we expect Elizabethan oak to be age-darkened even though it was much lighter then and we imagine Elizabeth books in old warped leather bindings. If we made Elizabeth�s dress look 500 year old however it would clearly be ludicrous � that has to look brand new � so what is it about objects that we require some to look old and some new?
You cannot recreate these objects? I feel that books from that age was the only real knowledge one could gain on the world besides experiences and conversation. Elizabeth had not travalled as I know beyond her Island as Queen, so all she had to learn from was her people, books and conversations with explorers and adventurers. Books were precious to the aristrocrat and people such as Ralegh had extensive collections of all sorts of books old and new from all over the world in all sorts of languages. I remember reading that on a privateering exploit Raleigh received a large trunk of Spanish books and he wrote highly of them. When Raleigh was executed K.James tried taking his collection of books for his own private collection, but Bess worked hard to prevented this action, for in Raleigh's will they belonged to Carew. Like in our personal libraries we have old and new books, so I feel it is important to show both old and new objects for antiques have existed in every age. I don't think people will notice the small details in objects though. Anyways I am ranting of topic, good question JP.
what is it about objects?


If a company is faced with imminent insolvency or over-indebtedness, the managing director must file for insolvency. Failure to do so in due time may result in him or her being held personally liable.
It is often difficult for managing directors and other governing bodies to accept that the company is facing insolvency. Understandably, every possible measure is taken to avoid insolvency in a lot of these cases. Notwithstanding this, managing directors should not under any circumstances ignore signs of imminent insolvency, as one of their duties is to file for insolvency in due time. We at the commercial law firm GRP Rainer Rechtsanwälte note that the managing director might otherwise be held personally liable for the delay in filing for insolvency. Our experience shows that many managing directors are unaware of when an insolvency petition needs to be filed and which payments can still made.
In principle, an insolvency petition must be submitted without undue delay, but no later than three weeks after the company becomes insolvent or over-indebted. A company is considered to be over-indebted if the company's assets no longer cover its existing liabilities. In the case of insolvency, the company is no longer able to meet its payment obligations. A company is deemed to be insolvent if the vast majority of liabilities can no longer be settled, even if individual payments are still being made.
In that case, managing directors must above all take care to ensure that no payments are made that diminish the insolvency estate. Otherwise, they may be liable to pay damages. According to a ruling of the Bundesgerichtshof (BGH), Germany's Federal Supreme Court, from 4 July 2017, payments made under these circumstances are only permissible if the compensation or return contribution offsets the reduction in the insolvency estate (Az.: II ZR 319/15). To this end, the compensation or return contribution to be added to the insolvency estate needs to be suitable for use by the creditors. The BGH noted that wages or services are generally not suitable for these purposes. The Court went on to state that if the managing director nevertheless arranges for payment of wages, he or she may be liable to make restitution.
A looming threat of insolvency may entail a high risk of personal liability for the managing director. That is why legal advice ought to be sought if there are signs that the company is on the verge of insolvency or over-indebtedness. Lawyers who are experienced in the field of company law can serve as expert advisers.


Known for being the highest bar in the world, Ozone at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong sits on the 118th floor of the ICC. The bar offers a pretty spectacular vista of the city, with a bird's eye view of Hong Kong Island and beyond. Head there on a clear night, and grab a seat on the terrace. This ain't your average hotel bar with jazz music, though – Ozone sees a glamorous crowd after hours, when the DJs takes to the decks. If you've got some cash to spare, Ozone is probably a good pick – the drinks don't come cheap. Our favourite Ozone signature cocktail is the Aria 118, made with vodka sake, coconut rum, lychee and passionfruit. Go baller over the weekend with a free-flow champagne brunch spread.
Final Verdict: Looking for the unique experience of spending the evening high above the clouds? Look no further than Ozone.
Rooftop bars might be a dime a dozen in Hong Kong – but Sevva is something else. Opened by the "queen of cakes" Bonnae Gokson, Sevva attracts the city's creme de la creme like bees to honey (think socialites, fashionistas and clean-shaven finance-y types). Don your most stylish outfit and join the crowd on the terrace, boasting a unique view of Central and the harbour.
Final Verdict: To see and be seen in your glad rags, Sevva is your spot.
Cafe Gray Deluxe is one of the finest watering holes this side of the harbour. Bright young things love hitting up the bar/restaurant at the Upper House, which comes complete with a trendy vibe and top-notch cocktail menu. With that prized harbour view just in reach, be sure to grab a seat by the window (fair warning: good luck trying to book a table on weekends). Don't be surprised by the occasional celebrity sighting, either.
Final Verdict: If it's good enough for David Hasselhoff, it's good enough for you.
Hong Kongers and out-of-towners love Aqua Spirit, and it's not hard to see why. A sophisticated space with dramatic views of the skyline, Aqua Spirit is one of those places that thoroughly deserves a spot on your Hong Kong to-do list. It makes for a great spot to catch the famed Symphony of Lights show at the harbour – although if you're looking to avoid a tourist crowd, a pre-dinner cocktail in the early evening is always a good option. Want to party? Head there later when the DJ takes to the decks!
Final Verdict: Whether it be cocktail appreciation or booty-droppin' action on the dance floor there's something for everyone here.
EPURE is housed inside the maze-like Harbour City mall, but don't let that faze you. The French fine dining restaurant is decked out with a terrace that affords striking views of the sunset. Head here for a restorative glass of champagne after a hard day of hitting the shops.
Final Verdict: Bet your didn't think a mall could have something this special.
OK, admittedly it's just a little bit out of the way, but for a slightly different view of the harbour, head further east on Hong Kong Island to Sugar. The sleek bar and lounge located at the EAST Hotel has a terrace that shows off the views of Island East and Kowloon Bay across the harbour. The place often fills up with the suited-and-booted post-work crowd during happy hour, so be sure to take advantage of the space during quieter times in the day.
Final Verdict: Go ahead and show off Hong Kong's alternative skyline on Instagram.
You've got the north end of Hong Kong Island as well as the Kowloon covered. But what if you find yourself somewhere like Aberdeen or Stanley? ABOVE at Ovolo Southside's the perfect spot to soak up some serious vista and sip on good a** drinks. With sweeping views of the Southern Districts mountains, the bar makes the list for not only its star-class hospitality but all the yummy nibbles available to guests!

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow Premiere First New Songs in 22 Years
By Damian Fanelli 2017-05-30T17:12:17Z Artist
Rainbow have premiered some new music. Sort of.
The updated version of Ritchie Blackmore's longtime off-and-on-again band has released two new recordings: "Land of Hope and Glory," a reworking of "Pomp And Circumstance March No. 1," a well-known patriotic British tune from 1902, and a new studio version of "I Surrender," a Russ Ballard song Rainbow originally released in 1981.
They represent the first new studio tracks from the band since 1995's Stranger in Us All. Both songs are available now via iTunes.
Besides Blackmore, Rainbow's current lineup includes singer Ronnie Romero, keyboardist Jens Johansson, drummer David Keith, bassist Bob Nouveau and backing singers Candice Night and Lady Lynn.
Check out the songs and tell us what you think!

We wrote earlier this year about the need to shrink the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and allow the private reinsurance and risk transfer markets to step in to provide cover where the Fund is now struggling. The Fund faces a large shortfall should any major hurricane strike the State of Florida and likely couldn't manage to pay the resulting claims without forcing tax rises on every Floridian family and issuing bonds post-event.
Then more recently we wrote about the potential $3.2 billion shortfall that the Fund could face if a major storm blew in. This time the shortfall has been predicted because the financial markets are unlikely to support the bond issuance that the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund would need to issue to shore itself up. Estimates came to the $3.2 billion shortfall and again that would result in the Fund having to call on Florida residents to make up the difference.
Now, it seems that the cat Fund itself is coming to terms with the difficulties it faces and the Director of the Fund, Jack Nicholson, has taken a proposal to Gov. Rick Scott, Florida cabinet members and the legislative, suggesting that the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund's capacity be reduced from $17 billion to $12 billion (thus wiping out the shortfall) and shifting the other $5 billion of liabilities to the private reinsurance market.
One of the reasons for this new realisation that Florida needs private reinsurers and risk transfer providers to step in is that an initial examination of the status of the Fund showed that the shortfall could lead to the insolvency of seven of the major eleven insurance carriers in the State.
Of course, you can't reduce the funded source of reinsurance cover without having some knock-on effect on consumers premiums and estimates suggest premium rises of 10% over the next seven or eight years if the Fund does indeed shrink and allow reinsurers to take up the slack.
The Governor has said he favours the idea, and the situation does seem impossible to stay as is, so it is likely that reinsurers will be taking on more Florida homeowners risk soon and that will of course push more Florida hurricane risk into the reinsurance market. The knock-on effect of that will be additional hurricane risk to offload to the capital markets and this could increase the volume of catastrophe bonds exposed to the State, particularly if cat bonds can be kept price comparable to reinsurance.
Separately, Citizens, the State funded insurer is likely to be raising rates for some Florida homeowners by as much as 20% soon. This again will filter into the reinsurance market and is likely to mean rates steadily increase for Florida hurricane risk.

Snagging a great airfare doesn't mean you'll have a great seat on your flight.
The opening of London's crisis-hit Crossrail is to be delayed indefinitely while an additional £1.7bn may be needed to complete the project, transport bosses have said. The capital's flagship east-west Elizabeth Line underground rail link had been due to open this month but was pushed back to Autumn 2019 after delays were announced over the summer.

Thank you for attending the Dallas Contributors Network luncheon hosted by Dallas Foundation & North Texas Asset Funders Network. We appreciate the opportunity to learn together the ways we can engage on the topic of housing. Our speakers have offered a number of resources, including specific recommendations on next steps for those interested in engaging further on this topic.
Homeownership remains the primary wealth-building tool for middle-income families, especially for people of color, and one powerful way to reduce the racial wealth gap. Yet for growing numbers of families in Dallas, homeownership is increasingly out of reach due to lack of affordability and systemic inequities. Less wealth from homeownership by blacks and Latinos means less overall wealth. In turn, less wealth passes to the next generation and less homeownership introduces instability into the community. And the damaging cycle continues. Available housing choices increase or limit financial security. These choices must include a continuum of safe, affordable, timely, and sustainable ownership and rental opportunities. There are tools and strategies to make home buying easier and renting of quality affordable housing more beneficial. What is the current state of affordable housing in Dallas? What are existing strategies to increase affordability? What innovations and best practices are replicable in Dallas? Where and how can philanthropy provide strategic support? Our speakers addressed these questions and more.
(still in early stages and will be formalized in the coming months) The Real Estate Council will apply for funding from the Pro Neighborhoods program sponsored by JPMorgan Chase Foundation, and matching funding sources for their recommended execution steps will be required.
In May 9, 2018, the Dallas City Council created a Housing Trust Fund to support the development and preservation of affordable housing units in the City of Dallas. On December 12, 2018, the City Council approved the transfer of $14 million into the Housing Trust Fund. The City of Dallas Housing Policy Taskforce is in the early stages of building out the Housing Trust Fund.
Funders interested are invited to reach out in various aspects: the design of the Housing Trust fund, including sharing your expertise in fund development, grantmaking, and program evaluation so that the Housing Trust Fund is designed to operate effectively and efficiently. Additionally, by engaging with the Dallas Housing Policy Taskforce, funders can identify synergies between the mission and goals of their organizations and the City of Dallas' efforts related to affordable housing.
An additional goal of the Housing Policy Taskforce is to create a "One Stop Housing Database" that allows low- and moderate-income households to identify housing units that are reserved for low- and moderate-income households (such as units in a housing development funded by Low Income Housing Tax Credits or through City incentives). A superb database would allow households to search for available units based on income, household size, and other criteria such as whether the landlord will rent to persons with a criminal record or who have pets.
Additionally, such a database could be designed so that it, for example: (1) helps families find available units that are within certain school feeder patterns or that are along high-speed bus routes, and (2) automatically notifies families about their eligibility for other programs such as Pre-K or food assistance.
While the City of Dallas could try to create this database in-house, creation of this "One Stop Housing Database" would be a fantastic undertaking for one or more philanthropic or non-profit organizations who already have data analysis and database management capacity (or who would be willing to develop this capacity). Additionally, once the database is created, it will be necessary to train individuals who work with low- and moderate-income families to help them navigate the new database.
Communities across the country need similar things to thrive: access to good jobs, affordable homes, safe places to gather and play, healthy food options, and opportunities for residents to have a voice in decisions that affect the community. Research shows that outcomes like life expectancy and economic mobility are deeply influenced by where we live. Yet many places suffer from chronic disinvestment, resulting in communities where the most basic conditions necessary for a decent quality of life are not met. This brief is three parts in a series on the core functions of the Center for Community Investment's (CCI) capital absorption framework.
Jubilee Park received a wonderful gift of land from the State Fair. Ben Leal is a terrific leader and they've already done some neighborhood input events to learn what the community wants. It's still early to know exactly what the housing product mix will be but they talk like they want an ownership and rental mix. Their board has already assembled a little team of architects, planners and engineers and they look like they're teeing it up to do it right.
Bonton Farms is already taking steps to provide housing as the 'next step' for their clients and participants. They bought and are fixing up a couple of rental properties. They're looking into building homes out of shipping containers. Bonton will have an ownership/rental mix and intends to carry the mortgages themselves. There is interest in acquiring the old JR Gameroom site as well.
Catholic Housing Initiative repurposes existing properties to develop very low-income housing (like the St. Jude project). They are currently all-volunteer (and operate about 800 units of affordable rental). They've done some great single-family, for ownership, in Oak Cliff, La Estrella.
The Real Estate Council announced a 5 year pilot program to address issues of inequality in 3 neighborhoods in Dallas – Oak Cliff, West Dallas, and South Dallas and are working with nonprofit organizations like Builders of Hope CDC and others to launch and coordinate efforts. One of the issues being addressed is the lack of affordable housing. TREC also has an exciting project called the Dallas Catalyst Project – a neighborhood revitalization effort that includes partners from the City of Dallas, Cornerstone, St. Philips School and Community Center, and CitySquare. They do an incredible job of bringing pro bono resources through their members to support these and other initiatives.
Collin County Habitat for Humanity has stepped out of the traditional Habitat housing model to do high-density housing built out of shipping containers.
Trinity Habitat for Humanity is now building tiny homes.
Dallas Habitat for Humanity continues to build new homes and their plan is to further their efforts in West Dallas and Joppa.
Rebuilding Together North TX hosts an annual project called National Rebuilding Day where they bring together volunteers, corporate and private funders, to adopt a neighborhood and do repair work on the homes of elderly, disabled, veteran, and low income families. They have focus on veterans and low income families and have a year-long program called Homes4Heroes to address some of the renovation needs for veterans including making homes handicap accessible. Their partnership with NARI, the National Association for the Remodeling Industry gives them access to contractors who offer their services at a reduced cost. They also have a partnership with Texas Women's University that allows them to assess the home renovation needs, particularly of disabled individuals, and then make recommendations.
Dallas Habitat for Humanity A Brush with Kindness helps existing homeowners with necessary exterior repairs that they are unable to do themselves.
Trinity Habitat for Humanity hosts their annual Cowtown Brushup to provide home renovations on existing housing and focus on a neighborhood at a time.
First-time homebuyer education is also a critical need to ensure that families understand the basics of homeownership, including qualifying for a mortgage, owning vs. renting, etc. Some of our local providers include BCL of Texas, Catholic Charities of Dallas, Habitat for Humanity affiliates, East Dallas Community Organization, Housing Opportunities of Fort Worth, and Housing Channel.

Longtime psychologist and family physician, Dr. Leonard Sax, notes that it is now a common occurrence for "children, girls and boys, to be disrespectful to parents, disrespectful to one another, and disrespectful to themselves, verbally and otherwise" as compared to a decade previously.
Millennial parents of elementary aged kids should become more actively involved in disciplining their children to avoid their offspring developing into unproductive and dysfunctioning members of society.
The reason for the behavioral problems of children today has a lot to do with technology. TV shows, games, and apps cause kids to become addicted and not obliging to parental authority. In some cases, children can even be seen in control of their parents. If an adult tries to take away their child's technology, kids can be seen blackmailing their parents, leading to children winning despite attempts to remedy uncharacteristic behavior.
The result is parents enabling their kids to not care about and adhere to polite behavior and respect for older generations. In most public places like airports, grocery stores, and public transit, it is not an uncommon sight to see a three-year-old child sprawled out in the middle of the floor watching "Paw Patrol" or "PJ Masks" as their parents are off doing their own thing. Additionally, since when did it become appropriate to not offer an able-bodied kid's bus seat to a pregnant, crippled, or elderly person? It's as if the parents and kids have complete disregard for societal norms.
Furthermore, millennial parents are doing their children a disservice by choosing not to gear them up for the future. Instead of taking measures to ensure the future success of their young kids such as pushing them academically, parents are allowing their children become unproductive people who don't know how to take care of themselves or handle an assortment of situations that come with growing up. If one chooses to have a child, they must understand the physical toll it takes to take care of a live human being for 18 years. Giving birth to a child isn't some sort of fun experience to cross off a bucket list like getting a tattoo. The children are the future of society, so effort should go in to ensuring their success.
A common response to these complaints is that every parenting style is different, and critics don't know what it is like to have the burden of taking care of children. However, if one's "parenting style" is disabling their child to effectively growing up and becoming independent, it is wrong. Not all millennials are doing their children a disservice; it's only a select few. As long as parents today have the mindset of what their child is going to be like 30 years from now, any parenting style is fine, but from what is being experienced today from onlookers, kids these days are destined for failure.


Instead of managing my own forum (this takes a lot of work) I decided to have a page of links that will direct visitors to multiple more established forums on the subject of Gunstar Heroes and Treasure.
Surprisingly this remains a somewhat active message board. If you leave a compelling message, you will most likely see some replies a few days later. I'd really like to help make this board more popular. Be sure to mention the site when you are there.
Within a few day of this games release this board ranked number 5 on most active Gamecube message boards. It even beat Metroid Prime. Definitely a cult hit!
I personally don't think you're likely to find much on Gunstar Heroes, but there are tons of other topics, and some very active boards.

Business overtaking academia on achieving gender equality
03.07.2014 BY Oliver OHanlon
Earlier this month a group of MPs took a swipe at UK universities for not doing enough to improve the under-representation of women in senior positions in university science departments. The report from the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee said it was "astonishing" that despite multiple initiatives and programmes designed to improve gender diversity across academia so little progress had been made to improve the gender balance in higher education. Noting that only 17% of senior science professors were women, the chair of the Committee, Andrew Miller MP, was unequivocal in saying that it was "time for universities to pull their socks up". However, with only 14% of university Vice-Chancellors being female, the general esteem in which women are held in UK higher education appears to be rather low.
The picture elsewhere in academia is just as alarming. Of the seven government-funded Research Councils there is not one female chair, and just one single female chief executive, the recently appointed Jackie Hunter. Only 5% of the Royal Society's and 4% of the Royal Academy of Engineering's Fellows are female. To the Royal Academy of Engineering's credit it has recently nominated a woman, Dame Anne Dowling to become its first female president later this year. But it can be little wonder that fewer women than men stay, or even enter science and engineering jobs, when the professions' most eminent bodies are so unrepresentative.
These uncomfortable examples of where women are marginalised from leading roles in the public sector are somewhat contrasted with the actions being taken in the private sector. David Cameron's 'women issues' within his own party are well known, and while little can be done to arrest the problem of too few women in Parliament between elections, the paradox is that government has started to take the issue of gender inequality seriously in the private sector. It has asked Lord Davies, the former Chairman of Standard Chartered to look at the barriers preventing women from reaching senior and boardroom-level roles. Rather than the 'stick' of championing enforced quotas, Davies has taken the 'carrot' approach of seeking to bring about a culture change within the business community, and has recommended a "voluntary business-led strategy to bring about a culture change at the heart of business", with many businesses and headhunters signing up to a voluntary code of conduct to establish best practice in gender diversity at Board level.
I think that this is the right approach. We all want to see equality of opportunity among people of equal talent, but compulsion inevitably breeds resentment and any business that thought it was being forced to make changes to please the government would soon become intransigent to progress. As Lord Davies says, "placing additional regulation on business will hinder working practices and we doubt would achieve the desired outcome in any acceptable way". Setting out a direction of travel and working with stakeholders to achieve it, is a far more sustainable way to achieve gender meritocracy in the workforce.
And businesses have responded in a positive way. The most recent report found that progress had been made. As of March 2014 women accounted for 20.4% of FTSE 100 and 15.1% of FTSE 250 board directors, up from 12.5% and 7.8% respectively in February 2011. Purely from a business perspective it makes sense to source your talent from the widest possible pool of people.
The factors preventing women reaching senior positions are varied, complex and often interconnected. As Davies has found these include a lack of flexible working, difficulty in reaching an acceptable work-life balance within a long-hours culture and disillusionment at the lack of career progression. We can either ignore the fact that many women have children, and having done so will take a career break, leaving a whole generation of talented women unable to fulfil their potential, or we can accept the situation and deal with it. It remains in the hands of business to continue to demonstrate real progress and champion best practice; otherwise the next step could be unwanted regulation and legislation. And I suspect that organisations who fail to do this will find themselves quickly left behind.
As recent public outcries and boycotts of companies like Amazon and Google have shown, consumers are increasingly willing to take a stand against what they consider unethical and unfair business practices. Given that the most diverse stakeholder base a business will connect with is that of its customers, those that are seen to pay only lip service to changing the culture at the top, may well find they are the target of the next boycott. While many UK universities have signed up to voluntary initiatives to improve gender diversity in science, such as the Athena Swan Charter this has patently not worked. The Equalities Challenge Unit (ECU) – the body set up to support equality and diversity in higher education – appears to have been asleep at the wheel. It needs to become a greater champion of universities that do things right and call out those that fall short. The ECU and the rest of UK academia have some learning to do from the private sector on gender diversity.

Very emotive article. I know from conversations with employers in the engineering sector that the cost to small businesses of women taking maternity leave has a huge impact on decision making at the recruitment stage. The hit doesn't end after the maternity leave is over. Women will likely need time off when their child is sick, when they have school events etc. The woman may also decide she needs to work part time. The business must then find a way to make two employees job-sharing work. Women have every right to expect to have a career and for the employer to make reasonable adjustments for them to also have a family. It will however, continue to put men off hiring women whilst the business takes the financial hit. In my opinion if the government addressed this issue of cost, especially for smaller businesses and start-ups, it may allow employers to consider the best person for the job, rather than worrying about the cost of hiring a woman.
Oliver O'Hanlon says:
Thank you for your comment. I totally agree. there is no getting away from the fact that many women want to start a family. businesses are certainly in danger of overlooking many, many talented women just because of the 'inconvenience' of maternity leave etc. im not sure how pervasive flexible working hours are across business (probably differs from one to another) but that surely has a bigger part to play than hitherto.
