OP being owned by its customers creates prosperity and wellbeing for its owner-customers and in its operating regions, in accordance with its mission. This is why owner-customer is at the core of our operations.
Everyone can become an owner-customer by paying a cooperative contribution.
It is a one-time contribution – no other payments exist. Owner-customers' rights come in two types: Owner-customers have the right to attend, and vote at, their OP cooperative bank's annual cooperative meeting or in the Representative Assembly elections. They can also run as candidates for their OP cooperative bank's Representative Assembly and vote in its election. In addition, an owner-customer is entitled to OP's owner-customer benefits valid from time to time.
Since 2014, our owner-customers have been able to invest in their own OP cooperative bank by means of Profit Shares. An OP cooperative bank will pay annual interest on Profit Shares on the basis of its financial performance, thus channelling part of its prosperity for the benefit of its owner-customers. OP anticipates paying interest of 3,25% on Profit Shares for 2016 (3.25% in 2015).
In 2016, the number of OP Financial Group's owner-customers increased by 256,000 to over 1.7 million. The year 2016 was the second full operating year after Pohjola Bank was delisted and OP went back to its roots as a financial services group wholly owned by its customers. As part of building the new OP Financial Group fully owned by its customers, the previously limited liability company OP Helsinki operating in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area was converted into a cooperative bank.
In accordance with cooperative principles, our administration system enables owner-customers to have an impact on decision-making and development of our operations. The owner-customers elect from amongst their number their own bank's administrative staff. This ensures that the local bank's operations are developed by taking its customers' needs into consideration. Through their representatives in administrative bodies, owner-customers can promote businesses and prosperity in the region.
Read more about OP cooperative banks' local influence.
In terms of the type of their business organisation, OP cooperative banks are cooperatives whose basic values underlying decision-making include the one member, one vote principle. The members, or owner-customers, elect from amongst them a Representative Assembly for the bank by voting in the assembly election. The Representative Assembly exercises the decision-making powers of the cooperative bank's members in matters laid down in the Co-operatives Act and the bank's Bylaws. Where an OP cooperative bank has no elected Representative Assembly, the bank's supreme decision-making body is its annual Cooperative Meeting.
Many OP Financial Group cooperative banks will organise their Representative Assembly elections in 2017. Those who have become owner-customers by the end of June 2017 can vote, or stand as a candidate, in the election.
Going forward, owner-customers will be able to influence the operations of the bank in their ownership in a variety of ways.
In the autumn of 2016, the OP cooperative banks of Sastamala, Ruukki, Oulainen and Kainuu piloted a new digital customer community as a channel of influence for their owner-customers. An owner-customer community gives owner-customers an opportunity to have their say by answering surveys and by participating in discussions.
In the pilot, owner-customers were asked to propose charity causes for their own bank and then vote for their favourite from amongst the suggestions received. In each bank, owner-customers selected a cause for supporting families with children living on limited means. The pilot will be expanded in 2017. OP cooperative banks will start using owner-customer communities in their respective schedules and will then invite their owner-customers to join the community.
Owner-customers can also influence OP's service and product design.
In line with the cooperative principle, owner-customers benefit from OP's operations and success. A considerable part of business earnings are returned to the owner-customers in the form of OP bonuses and various benefits and discounts. The more an owner-customer uses OP's services, the more he/she benefits.
OP's loyalty benefit programme consists of OP bonuses – generated in proportion to the person's transactions with OP – as well as benefits and discounts related to OP's banking, non-life insurance and wealth management products and services. Furthermore, some service packages are only available to owner-customers.
OP bonuses are the most significant owner-customer benefit and they are generated from almost all customer transactions. OP bonuses are widely applicable to OP Financial Group's banking charges, non-life insurance premiums and wealth management fees as well as OP Kiinteistökeskus real estate agent commissions. A total of 101 million (100) euros of OP bonuses were used to pay for banking and wealth management services and 107 million (101) euros to pay non-life insurance premiums. Since 1999, we have granted over 1.9 billion euros in OP bonuses. In 2016, our owner-customers earned a total of 208 million (197) euros in OP bonuses. Discounts given related to non-life insurance totalled 86 million (79) euros. OP bonuses were used to pay 2,200,000 insurance bills (2,023,000), with 297,000 (273,000) of them paid in full using bonuses.
We are continuously improving our owner-customer benefits. The new mutual fund benefit was launched in June 2016 and it enabled owner-customers to buy, sell and switch the majority of OP funds' units with no transaction costs. We also introduced new services exclusively for our owner-customers, including the OP Investment Partner service package designed to support owner-customers in their investment decisions and the new fixed-term home loan, enabling our customers to tie, for the first time in Finland, their whole home loan to a fixed interest rate for the entire loan period, up to 25 years.

Updated Results Confirm Frontline Pembrolizumab Benefit in Urothelial Carcinoma
Jason Harris
Updated phase II results from the KEYNOTE-052 trial showed that first-line treatment with pembrolizumab produced a long-lasting response for patients with cisplatin-ineligible advanced urothelial cancer.
Peter H. O'Donnell, MD
Updated phase II results from the KEYNOTE-052 trial showed that first-line treatment with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) produced a long-lasting response for patients with cisplatin-ineligible advanced urothelial cancer.1
As of the December 2016 data cutoff, the overall objective response rate (ORR) was 29% with a clinical benefit rate of 47%. Peter H. O'Donnell, MD, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Chicago, presented the results at the 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting.
"The overall objective response rate represents a 5% increase over the rate that has been previously reported," O'Donnell said. "These results confirm that first-line pembrolizumab elicits clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity in cisplatin-ineligible patients with metastatic urothelial cancer."
In KEYNOTE-052, 370 patients with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic disease who were ineligible for treatment with cisplatin were assigned to 200 mg of pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. Patients continued treatment for 2 years, or until progression, toxicity, or withdrawal.
The median age was 74 and 29% of the cohort was 80 or older. The primary tumor location was the lower tract for 81% of patients and 21% had liver metastases.
At median follow-up of 9.5 months, 7% of patients had a complete response, 22% had a partial response, and 18% had stable disease. More than 40% of patients in the study had progressive disease.
O'Donnell said the response was consistent across demographic groups, including patients younger than 85 (29%; 95% CI, 20-35), patients ≥85 (28%; 95% CI, 15-44), and those with an ECOG performance status of 2 (27%, 95% CI, 20-35).
Among patients who had at least 1 post-baseline scan, 58% experienced a decrease in tumor lesions.
Median time-to-response was 2 months, and O'Donnell said 82% of responses lasted at least 6 months. Median duration of response has not been reached.
Investigators created a training set of the first 100 patients enrolled to identify the combined positive score (CPS) cut point for PD-L1 expression and a validation set that included all patients except for that first 100 to confirm results. Investigators found that a CPS ≥10% was the optimal enrichment cutoff for predicting response.
In the training set, patients with a CPS <10% had an ORR of 17% with 3 complete responses and 8 partial responses. ORR was 37% for CPS-high patients with 4 complete responses and 7 partial responses.
Response was even stronger in the validation set. ORR was 51% for CPS-high patients, with 14 complete responses and 27 partial responses. ORR was 23% for CPS-low patients, with 5 complete responses and 37 partial responses.
Two-thirds of patients reported treatment-related adverse events (AEs) of any grade, with fatigue (18%), pruritus (17%), and rash (12%) being the most common.
Seventy patients (19%) reported grade ≥3 AEs, including fatigue (2%) and colitis (2%). Other grade ≥3 AEs appeared in just 1% of patients.
"Importantly, only 7% of patients discontinued treatment because of a treatment-related adverse event," O'Donnell said. "This is a rate that would be approximately one-third of that traditionally described for gemcitabine/carboplatin."
Investigators recorded a single treatment-related AE that resulted in death—myositis in an 83-year-old patient.
O'Donnell added that the rate of immune-mediated AEs was similar to those reported in previous anti—PD-1 studies.
These results update findings first presented at the 2016 ESMO Congress.2At the time, overall ORR was 24.0% (95% CI, 16.0-33.6) at a median follow-up of 8 months. There were 6 complete responses, 17 partial responses, and 15 patients with stable disease. Forty-eight patients experienced disease progression.
Based on data from the KEYNOTE-052 trial, the FDA granted an accelerated approval in May 2017 for the accelerated approval to frontline pembrolizumab for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are not eligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy.

U.S. Mission Russia to Suspend Nonimmigrant Visa Operations Starting August 23

On August 21, U.S. Mission Russia announced that it is suspending nonimmigrant visa operations across Russia effective Wednesday, August 23.
As a result of the Russian government's personnel cap imposed on the U.S. Mission, all nonimmigrant visa (NIV) operations across Russia will be suspended beginning August 23, 2017. Visa operations will resume on a greatly reduced scale. Beginning September 1, nonimmigrant visa interviews will be conducted only at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. NIV interviews at the U.S. Consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Vladivostok are suspended until further notice. As of 0900 Moscow time Monday, August 21, the U.S. Mission will begin canceling current nonimmigrant visa appointments countrywide. The NIV applicants who have their interviews canceled should call the number below to reschedule their interview at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow for a later date. NIV applicants originally scheduled for an interview at the U.S. consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Vladivostok should call the number below if they wish to reschedule their interviews at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
The staffing changes will also affect the scheduling of some immigrant visa applicants. Affected applicants will be contacted if there is a change as to the time and date of their interview.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow and three consulates will continue to provide emergency and routine services to American citizens, although hours may change. (For American Citizen Services hours, please check the U.S. Mission to Russia website at https://ru.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/acs-hours.)
US Mission Russia released a Fact Sheet also noting that the cancellation of visa interviews prior to September 1 is due to "planning for departures and staff reductions" that has already begun "in order to meet the Russian government's September 1 deadline for the reduction of personnel." It further notes that operation at reduced capacity will continue as long as its mission staffing levels are reduced.
As of August 21, the appointment visa wait times for U.S. Mission Russia for visitor visas are as follows: Moscow (85 calendar days), St. Pete (44 days), Vladivostok (2 days) and Yekaterinburg (59 days). When visa interviews resume at the US Embassy in Moscow on September 1, all visa interviews at the three constituents posts will remain suspended.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov (via TASS) said that "the US authors of these decisions have plotted another attempt at stirring up resentment among Russian citizens regarding decisions by the Russian authorities."
Under new rules, U.S. visas for Russians will be issued only in Moscow and will take 6 months to process https://t.co/c5AujIsqmt

What are the odds? Titans vs. Jaguars
By Terry A. Lambert@TLambertTN Dec 10, 2021, 8:02am CST
Share All sharing options for: What are the odds? Titans vs. Jaguars
Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images
For the Titans, that might have been the most needed bye week of all time. Several key injuries have handicapped Tennessee this year, despite the Titans still holding an 8-4 record. The impact of those injuries was on display against the Texans and Patriots.
The plan seemed clear for Mike Vrabel — make it to the bye week and regroup. They've done that over the past two weeks, although it won't be a complete fix. Key players Julio Jones, Rashaan Evans, each Nate Davis have returned to practice this week, while the team is still waiting on David Long and Jackrabbit Jenkins, among others. A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry remain on IR.
Coming off of the bye, the Titans get the Jaguars, who are once again struggling through yet another season. Jacksonville sits at 2-10 on the year, but as we've seen, Tennessee has struggled with bad teams so far this year. They dropped games against the Texans and the Jets — a black eye on an otherwise fantastic season to this point.
A healthier Titans team beat the Jaguars 37-19 back in week five. Now the Jaguars will make the trip to Nashville, where they've been installed as 8.5 point underdogs. The spread is already up to nine in some places. The total sits at 43.5.
As Jimmy pointed out earlier in the week, Mike Vrabel is 3-0 against the spread and straight up coming off of the bye week. He's got a pretty good shot to make that 4-0 against another bad Jaguars team on Sunday.
Jacksonville has dropped four straight since their shocking upset against the Bills. They were blown away by the Rams last week as Trevor Lawrence continues to struggle through his rookie season.
Even after the bye, the Titans remain banged up in key spots, which could make this one dicey. However, with two weeks to prepare, it does feel like a little bit of a get-right spot for the Titans.

Practising on the poor? Healthcare workers' beliefs about the role of medical students during their elective
Teaching and learning ethics

elective placement
Medical electives have long been part of the undergraduate curriculum, and many students choose to undertake a placement in a developing country. In countries where healthcare provision is hugely underresourced, students have found themselves under pressure to exceed their role. They have been expected to diagnose and treat patients without direct supervision from a qualified doctor. Some have found themselves running clinics and wards; others have found themselves to be the most qualified person available.1,2
The British Medical Journal believes students should not take on the role of a qualified doctor, "irrespective of any encouragement which students may receive from members of the host organisations to which they are attached".3 This includes not diagnosing, prescribing, or treating any patient without strict clinical supervision. They feel that students fail to appreciate the dangers of treatment, particularly where familiar medical problems are complicated by unfamiliar poverty. Their deontological view is saying that students should treat their work in the developing world exactly the same as they would in their home countries. It is unethical to "practise" on the local population because it has the misfortune to be poor.
Others have advocated a utilitarian view; that some help is better than none at all, and that medical students are in possession of knowledge and capabilities that place them under a moral obligation to use their skills for those in need.2,4
While we in the developed world agonise about the levels of responsibility during electives, what do native healthcare staff, those actually living and working in the developing world, think? Surprisingly, there are no published studies in this area.
A questionnaire was administered to all healthcare staff at one hospital in a developing country: Helena Goldie Hospital in the Solomon Islands. It asked whether they believed medical students should be allowed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe without direct supervision from a qualified doctor. Staff were also asked what they believed students were allowed to do in England without direct supervision. The response rate was 84.8% (39/46).
The majority of healthcare staff believe medical students should be allowed to diagnose (94.9%), treat with practical procedures (89.7%), and prescribe drugs (84.6%) without direct supervision during their elective. The majority of healthcare staff do not know that students are not allowed to perform similar roles in England without direct supervision (table 1).
What healthcare staff in a hospital in the Solomon Islands believed medical students can do without direct supervision from a qualified doctor in the Solomon Islands and England
The majority of healthcare staff believe medical students should diagnose, treat, and prescribe drugs without direct supervision in the Solomon Islands. Possibly this is because staff consider, through years of hosting elective students, unqualified medical students do possess certain skills that enable them to have this level of responsibility. Furthermore, staffing structures in the Solomon Islands differ from those in England. Nurses are allowed to prescribe drugs and many make diagnoses themselves. The staff may not think a doctor is necessary to supervise a medical student as there is invariably an experienced nurse around to oversee their actions. A big lifesaving intervention in the Solomon Islands is the use of antibiotic therapy. The prescription and dispensation of antibiotics by medically unqualified personnel, including medical students and nurses, surely does more good than harm in the prevention of considerable mortality and morbidity?
The results show that most staff do not perceive a difference between the role of a medical student in England and in the Solomon Islands. Thus it could be said that students are "practising on the poor" by exceeding their normal role without the host institution realising but with their full blessing. This appears to be due to lack of knowledge about medical education in developed countries. Most staff do not know that English medical students are not allowed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe without direct supervision from a qualified doctor in their home country.
All countries are unique so it is hard to generalise the results to other nations. However, healthcare staff worldwide should be made aware of the role of medical students in their home countries so they can make informed decisions about the level of responsibility to give these students during their elective placement. This would vary between universities as the elective period is undertaken at different stages of the medical course in different institutions. It would help alleviate the moral dilemma faced by students expected to exceed their normal role, while giving the host institution autonomy about whether students can "practise" on their patients.

Back in 2011, there was a very popular book called The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. This book was written by a woman named Amy Chau. Chau has made headlines for her support of Brett Kavanaugh, someone she got to know at Yale. Well, someone has come forward saying that Chau instructed women interviewing for clerk positions for Kavanaugh to have a "certain look." Sources say that potential clerks were told to "look like models" because of the preferences of Kavanaugh. This comes after sexual assault accusations against Kavanaugh have surfaced.
Kavanaugh's Yale frat was notorious for raising the rooms of women and walking around campus with their bras and underwear.

Daily Inspiration: Blink-182 Releases New Music Video for "After Midnight" (Dir. Isaac Rentz)
Blink-182 has released the official music video for "After Midnight," a single from their 2011 Neighborhoods album, directed by Los Angeles-based film-maker, Isaac Rentz.
As a teenager of the late 90s, it was to impossible deny the pop/punk band's influence on the music industry and pop culture, and it's great to see the band stay true to their artistic roots in their sixth album, the first released since their hiatus in 2003.
Blink 182, "After Midnight"
With Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus belting out expressive lyrics– which once dripped in teenage angst in unmistakably whiny tones– paired with the hard, fast-paced and unsurpassed beats of drummer Travis Barker, the group has clearly not lost the magic that helped define a new wave of music. After eight years, naturally, the trio's attention has shifted to darker themes (as described in this review by Dan Caffrey of Consequence of Sound).
In the video for "After Midnight," Rentz captures a playful romance between two youth psychiatric patients. Scenes of the couple running amuck during the ward's after-hours exude a lightheartedness (despite the morose setting), and are intercut with wide pans and a generous number of tight shots of Blink-182 performing in a massive hangar (once used for making blimps, apparently).
Directing music videos for bands like Cage the Elephant, Manchester Orchestra, and Blink-182, Rentz has developed a reputation for his highly stylized, often quirky approach to film-making.
We are thrilled to announce that Rentz spent time with FIDMDigitalArts.com for our Take 5 web series, featuring interviews with film directors, graphic artists, illustrators and other intriguing industry pros. Check back on FIDMDigitalArts.com to watch our latest video in the Take 5 series featuring Rentz, launching later this month.
In the meantime, check out Blink-182's "Up all Night" music video posted below, (also directed by Rentz), and more on his site (www.isaacrentz.com).

Government policies, economics creating market for carbon capture -Exxon CEO
March 2, 2021 10:45 AM Reuters0 Comments
Improving economics and government policies are creating opportunities for carbon capture and storage, Exxon Mobil Chief Executive Darren Woods said at an energy conference on Tuesday.
Exxon, under pressure from activist investors who want the company to develop more ambitious plans for the energy transition, recently launched a Low Carbon Solutions business to focus on carbon capture and storage.
Exxon will "leverage into what we see as a converging set of forces," Woods said at IHS Markit's CERAWeek virtual conference, as technologies improve and government policies, especially in the United States, focus on supporting carbon capture and storage.
The largest U.S. oil producer also plans to boost investment in new technologies related to hydrogen, but that remains expensive, Woods said.
Exxon anticipates continued global growth for natural gas in industrial operations and electric generation, where it can complement the intermittency of wind and solar, Woods said.
"One of the challenges with gas is the lack of alternatives in all applications in all areas of the world," Woods said. "Gas will play a role, but with gas comes emissions."
A market price for carbon would be the most cost effective way to reduce emissions, Woods said.
"Government should not pick winners and losers," Woods said. "It should not pick the sectors, but open it up and have credits and market incentives."
Several of the world's major oil companies have set ambitious goals to shift new investments to technologies that will reduce carbon emissions to slow global warming. Exxon since December has set emissions intensity targets and launched the Low Carbon Solutions business, but has maintained the view that global oil and gas demand will grow. 29dk2902l


Oh? You're not sure what I mean by "Redeeming?" Well, I love to talk about it.
Webster's has three great definitions for the word "redeem." I love 'em all.
In this context, it's a little more specific, because it's talking about Jesus Christ: He made us acceptable to God by exchanging His life for ours, in order to buy back our rebellious selves from the destruction of sin and make us one with Him.
Redemption is quite possibly the most beautiful concept on this or any other planet. And I don't think I'm exaggerating.
Pour yourself a delicious beverage, kick back, and relax. Let's enjoy this.

Q: Basic mail function (PHP) additional "-f" parameter question Is the -f additional parameter correctly set in this mail function.
@mail("example@exmaple.com.uy",$title,$body,$headers,"-f");

I am Getting the X Warning from some servers.
Sorry for the basic question but some parts of the documentation got me confused (specially some user comments).
Thanks in advance!

A: From the manual:

The additional_parameters parameter
  can be used to pass additional flags
  as command line options to the program
  configured to be used when sending
  mail, as defined by the sendmail_path
  configuration setting. For example,
  this can be used to set the envelope
  sender address when using sendmail
  with the -f sendmail option.
The user that the webserver runs as
  should be added as a trusted user to
  the sendmail configuration to prevent
  a 'X-Warning' header from being added
  to the message when the envelope
  sender (-f) is set using this method.
  For sendmail users, this file is
  /etc/mail/trusted-users.

source: http://www.astahost.com/info.php/Sending-Mail-Php39s-Mail-Function_t2728.html

The additional_parameters parameter
  can be used to pass an additional
  parameter to the program configured to
  use when sending mail using the
  sendmail_path configuration setting.
  For example, this can be used to set
  the envelope sender address when using
  sendmail with the -f sendmail option.
  You may need to add the user that your
  web server runs as to your sendmail
  configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning'
  header from being added to the message
  when you set the envelope sender using
  this method. Example 3. Sending mail
  with extra headers and setting an
  additional command line parameter.

i.e:
<?php
mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
"From: webmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}", "-fwebmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}");
?>

After -f you need to set the outgoing email address to prevent the warning (in this case its webmaster@-the domain-

A: If your machine runs on a linux server. Your apache install more than likely runs under the user 'www-data'.
you can figure this out easily by going to /etc/apache2 and typing
cat envvars | grep APACHE_RUN_USER

whatever is after '=' is what user apache is running as.
You need to add this user to the trusted-users file. This file is located at /etc/mail/trusted-users
just
nano /etc/mail/trusted-users

and write 'www-data'.
save and you should be good to go.

A: -f should be followed by the address you want as envelope address on your mail.
@mail("example@exmaple.com.uy",$title,$body,$headers,"-fexample@exmaple.com.uy");

A: Have you tried sending it without the -f flag?

The user that the webserver runs as
  should be added as a trusted user to
  the sendmail configuration to prevent
  a 'X-Warning' header from being added
  to the message when the envelope
  sender (-f) is set using this method.
  For sendmail users, this file is
  /etc/mail/trusted-users.

A: You need to specify an email address after the -f flag. Like this: "-fexample@example.com". You may also need to add the user that your web server run as to your sendmail configuration.

Academic self-concept and discrete emotion relations : domain specificity and age effects
Geschichte und Soziologie
Type of Publication: Other, conference
Author: Götz, Thomas; Frenzel, Anne C.; Cronjäger, Hanna
Conference: American Educational Research Association (AERA), Apr, 2009, San Diego, CA
Published in: American Educational Research Association (AERA) annual meeting. San Diego, Calif., April 2009 ; also presented at the second conference on Noncognitive Skills of the ZEW Leibniz Research Network, Konstanz, März 2009
In recent years, much research attention has been directed to the role of self-concept on the one hand, and more affective constructs including emotions, on the other hand, in academic development. However, we lack empirical knowledge on the relations between academic self-concept and discrete emotional experience, and what factors may moderate these relationships. Based on theoretical assumptions and previous empirical findings, moderate to strong relations overall were anticipated between academic self-concepts and emotions. Consistent with previous findings (Goetz et al., 2007), it was anticipated that within-domain relations should be stronger in the more homogeneous, science-related domains of mathematics and physics, than in the more heterogeneous, language-oriented domains of German and English. Based on Marsh and Ayotte s (2003) differential distinctiveness hypothesis, previous emotion research and motivation studies, it was hypothesized that the relations between self-concept and emotions for older students (grade 11) should be stronger in magnitude than for younger students (grade 8). The sample consisted of 1,710 German high-school students (44% female) with a mean age of 15.71 years (SD = 1.64). Two grade levels were assessed, including 973 students from grade 8, and 737 students from grade 11. Academic self-concept and academic emotions were assessed using self-report measures. We analyzed our data by combining structural equation modeling (SEM) and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). In line with the assumptions of appraisal theory, within-domain relations of self-concepts and academic emotions were relatively strong. Relations were also notably stronger within quantitative domains (mathematics and physics) than more heterogeneous verbal domains (German and English). Consistent with our hypotheses, stronger relations between self-concepts and emotions were observed among older students. Self-concept and emotion relations were also found to differ as a function of the specific emotion assessed, with pride showing the strongest and boredom the weakest relations with academic self-concepts in the four domains assessed. Methodological and educational implications as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Why is employee engagement at an all-time low? Why is turnover as high as it is? Why are employees constantly looking for better opportunities?
I've been talking about the importance of employees to the customer experience since my days at J.D. Power and Associates 20 years ago; sadly, in the heat of customer experience design efforts, employees are still forgotten.
If Your Employees Don't Understand Your Brand, How Will Your Customers?
The other day I was meeting with the executive team of a growing retail chain, a prospective client. The conversation turned to the brand tagline and as the Chief Executive Officer began to explain how the tagline came to be, it became clear that no on around the table had ever heard the explanation before.
The Information Commissioner's Office in the UK has warned employers not to ask for the Facebook username and log-in details of their staff or of people who apply for jobs. That this even has to be ruled on will come as a surprise to many – I wouldn't expect to give my employers access to my house, or to my diary or to my holiday photos. But apparently some employers in the UK (but more in the US) have been asking for this data so that they can get an understanding of a candidate before they hire them, or of an employee they have working for them.
Recently the Sunday Times had a long article about the company that explained that its 224 British outlets receives a weekly visit from secret shopper, whose job it is to assess the store and its staff.
The shops are scored on criteria such as speed of service, product availability and cleanliness. One task for the mystery guest is to rate the "engagement level" of the server — did they "connect with eye contact, a smile and some polite remarks"?
Thanks to my column-writing gig with QSR Magazine, I recently got an insiders' look at a remarkable company, Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp. You probably know them as Souplantation, the 110+ unit salad and soup buffet concept, or Sweet Tomatoes, the name they operate under outside of Southern California.
Are All Your Employees Brand Ambassadors?
Sometime in the next year or two, I predict U.S. companies will undergo a human resources crisis. As businesses stabilize and people become accustomed to a certain degree of economic uncertainty, a high level of turnover is likely to threaten companies' recoveries.

You could tell it was a special moment for former Governor General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson as she looked at the Clarkson Cup in its new home Thursday.
A few minutes passed before she finally snapped her eyes away from the trophy, which bears her name because of her integral role in creating it.
"I just feel so wonderful when I think that long after I'm gone, this Cup will be in this case at the Hockey Hall of Fame," Clarkson said. "It's for the ages and it's for the future."
The ultimate trophy in Canadian women's hockey moved into its permanent home in Toronto just weeks ahead of this year's tournament, which will be held in Markham, Ont. from March 20-23. The Clarkson Cup has been awarded to the top team in the CWHL since 2009 and is often referred to as the "Stanley Cup" of women's hockey.
Three-time Olympian Sami Jo Small, who also plays for Toronto in the CWHL, has yet to win the coveted trophy.
"The hunger to win lies in the fact that you want to win the Cup with your friends and teammates, the ones you toil with day in and day out," she said.
Outside of actually getting her name engraved in the trophy, Small sees the Cup's new spot at the Hockey Hall of Fame as a victory in itself.
"It legitimizes what we fought so hard to do," she said. "Little boys and little girls will come in to the Hall and see the names of the champions over years. This really validates what we do as hockey players."
Family connection
Gillian Apps, two-time Olympic gold medallist and forward with the Brampton Hockey Club, felt a true family connection Thursday as the granddaughter of Hockey Hall of Fame member Syl Apps.
"Every time I come to the Hockey Hall of Fame I see my grandfather's picture on the wall," said Apps. "The hardware and tradition in here is amazing and it makes it even better for women's hockey to be represented here too."
The Hockey Hall of Fame seemed just as thrilled to welcome the Clarkson Cup to its trophy collection.
"It's not only a great day for women's hockey, it's a great day for hockey," said Phil Pritchard, vice-president and curator of the Hockey Hall of Fame. "Hockey is Canada's game and we want to preserve the sport as a whole. The Clarkson Cup has such a rich hockey heritage and we are excited to bring it here."
As to why this hasn't happened sooner, the CWHL commissioner said it was in good time.
"Things really kicked into motion within a couple of weeks," said Brenda Andress. "If something's meant to happen, it goes with ease."
The idea stemmed from a conversation that Andress had with Clarkson in mid-January, and less than two months later both women were on hand to see it happen.
So where has the Clarkson Cup been stored for the last few years?
"It's a secret," joked Andress, and it really doesn't matter. Moving forward, hockey fans will know where to find it.

For a final time, Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees. A lawyer asks Jesus: "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" It would seem to be a difficult question to answer. The lawyer wants it to be so. His question is asked to push Jesus, an action that Matthew again notes: "And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question to test Him." This expert in the Law of the Old Testament wants Jesus to identify just one of the hundreds of commands that the LORD gave His people and say that one is the most important.
This lawyer who interrogates Jesus wholeheartedly agrees with David. He has made his living studying and knowing each and every divine command. Not only that, he is an expert in every rule and legal opinion that the Pharisees had developed to explain and enforce the canons of the Old Testament. This man knows the Law and wants Jesus to make a statement about it, a statement which would denigrate and desecrate the LORD's holy word.
This lawyer who questions Jesus is much different from another teacher who asked Jesus about the LORD's commandments. Earlier in His ministry, Jesus encountered someone who wanted to know the way to eternal life. He had asked Jesus about the commandments, even stating that he had kept all of them from youth. He had sought eternal life by such actions. The man was misguided; he had not actually fulfilled all that the LORD demanded. But he did have his mind set set on a good purpose. But this lawyer in the Temple who confronts Jesus has only malice in his heart.
And yet, Jesus answers this lawyer in a way that shows him the path to life. For there are certain parts of Scripture that truly are more important than others, the ones that speak about the salvation that the LORD promises and brings, as well as the Covenant that He makes with His people. So Jesus answers the lawyer's question. What is the greatest commandment? Jesus says: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. This is the great and first commandment." But it is a divine commandment that Jesus' interrogator has failed to keep.
The man who seeks to trap Jesus and bring Him down truly does not love the LORD at all. For who is his target? The very Son of God, divinity enfleshed in perfect humanity, the LORD present in an accessible manner for humanity to see. Jesus is that "Son of David" and "David's Lord" which the Psalter spoke of. Standing in front of that man is the LORD Himself, but the man gives Him no show of respect, reverence, or worship. No, by his action of trying to test Jesus, this man shows how he hates the LORD his God with all his heart, soul, and mind. The lawyer stands convicted by the very Law and LORD that he claims to love.
But you are not exempt from this judgment. It might very well be true that you do not hate the LORD this morning in this room, but hatred of Him does enter your heart, soul, and mind. It happens when you become angry or upset with the LORD for many things in your life: your plans that never seem to come true, the family and society He has given you, the diseases and afflictions that beset you, even the gift of life which He has breathed into you.
And when you're not consumed with that type hating the LORD, there's also the busyness of finding other gods to be objects of your love and devotion: wealth, status, popularity, and so on. Rather than having your hearts, souls, and minds devoted to the LORD, contemplating His goodness, they tend to wander off, placing other things ahead of Him and His will. It can be as simple as ignoring His words and gifts which He provides to us when you gather to worship. Or when you decide to trust your own abilities and wisdom more than the LORD's grace and goodness. Or when you consider devotion to someone or some organization the most important aspect of your life and you transgress the LORD's commands to maintain that relationship.
These are but a few of the myriad ways that are failures to obey that first and great commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Each day, you are tempted to violate this Law, and so often you do. But Jesus doesn't stop with that first and great commandment, as if that first command were easy to keep. Jesus says: "And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." And He adds the statement: "On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." Those further words from the LORD explain the ways how His two commandments are kept.
These two commandments uttered by the LORD confront you. They point the finger of judgment, identifying you as individuals who have failed to meet their requirements. They stand as a mirror that reveals how hideously ugly humans are, each one stained and marred by sin and unrighteousness. Repent, then, and admit you have not only broken the first and greatest command, but each and every one that follows it.
But after humbling yourself before the LORD and admitting your guilt, look up. Lift up your eyes and hearts and behold the other thing that these two great commandments point to. The LORD's Law does not simply point its accusing fingers at us. No, it also points towards the One who has not only spoken the commandments, but also perfectly obeyed them. The commandments expose your inabilities and guilt. But they also display the perfection and innocence of Jesus.
Jesus' life was truly nothing but a living obedience of every command that the LORD had spoken. For in Jesus, you find the One who did love the LORD with all His heart, soul, and mind. Everywhere in His life, you see and hear Jesus telling the people what true love of the LORD is and how it is shown. And His life truly demonstrated what "Love your neighbor as yourself" fully entails.
Jesus' life is a shining example of love of neighbor, an example that can never be surpassed. Like the Good Samaritan in His parable, Jesus looked upon you, helpless and beaten down by your sin, and restored you to a new life. For you who were cursed by the demands of the Law, Jesus became a curse, hanging dead on a tree, so that you might enjoy divine blessing. This isn't "seeking vengeance or bearing a grudge against the sons of your people" as the LORD's Law forbade. No, Jesus acts in perfect love of His neighbor: laying down His life for you who were dead in sin, so that you would live and have life abundantly. Every flaw and mark against you is removed by the righteousness of Jesus.
That type of instruction and guidance is given to all of Jesus' disciples. But what does it mean "to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory"? It is to abide by the two great commandments that He has issued to you: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…. You shall love your neighbor as yourself." The life of the Christian is firmly rooted in the holiness that Jesus has given to you when He made you His people. It is to be governed by the great statement that is made to you: "Be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy." That holiness is imparted to you through Holy Baptism, Holy Absolution, and Holy Meal. Through these means, you have hearts, souls, and minds changed so that they can truly love God. Through these gifts, you are again forgiven for each time that you have violated the two great commandments of God. And you are strengthened by the LORD's holy things to lead a life of imitation. The life of the Christian is a life of imitation, of following the pattern and example of Jesus' life in the face of all temptations to do otherwise. Being reconciled to God your Father through the atoning work of Jesus and then being called to belief and empowered by His Holy Spirit, you now follow the example set before you.
All the teachings of the Church, from the first speaking of the LORD's Law to Moses, the testimony of the Prophets, and the writings of the Apostles, hinge on those two great commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…. You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Your Lord Jesus has fulfilled both of these commandments: obeying His Father's will and giving Himself up for you. While you were rebellious, "David's Son" has been obedient. "David's Lord" has actually been your servant, seeking out your welfare. This has accomplished your salvation. All the Law and the Prophets testified about His doing so for you. And now that you are His people, the LORD's Words direct your life. Jesus leads you all to live as He did, motivated by the salvation He has won for you and trusting in the forgiveness He freely brings for your failings.

Om Kalsoum – La Ya Habibi LP
"A titan of middle eastern music, the contralto singer Umm Kulthum was hailed as "The Voice of Egypt" or "Egypt's Fourth Pyramid," and as she reportedly sold over 80 million records worldwide during her lifetime, she is one of the most popular singers of all time. At home, her peak period is seen as the 1940s and 50s, yet she continued to record enthralling work in the 60s and 70s, including "La Ya Habiby," an epic song of heartache, composed by Riad El Sombati, with lyrics by Abdelfatah Moustapha, first recorded in 1963. Kulthum has since been cited as an influence by Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Bono and Jah Wobble, among many others."
