In the aftermath of the financial crisis, young finance professionals of the 21st century – in the EU but also worldwide – are seeking increasingly aspirational and dynamic career paths, both inside and outside traditional mainstream finance careers. Modern graduates have a clear vision for their professional lives and are demanding more from employers – also in terms of remuneration- as they pursue their primary goals.
This is confirmed by a new report entitled Generation Y: Realising the Potential from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Mercer, the human resource consultancy, which founds that remuneration is important to this age group and they seek out competitive packages. But they also want a good contractual package –money, work-life balance, and working for an attractive brand that reflects their own values. This is the case within both mainstream finance professions such as accountancy, as well as alternative careers in the sector.
Up to half of young professionals questioned said they harbour concerns over training provision and the career development opportunities available to them. Increasingly, human capital will be the primary source of competitive differentiation. Its value will be created by people, ideas and the brand of the organization. This means that unless employers make adequate provision in these areas, they could end-up struggling to hold on to the brightest and best within their workforce. Employers need to put career development at the heart of their proposition to make them attractive to Generation Y. Contrary to popular perception, the survey shows this is a generation who value job security but are prepared to leave if career promises are not fulfilled.
Managing the career expectations, thinking creatively about how they can offer roles and greater career path variation and being transparent about career development will hence be key to delivering on the career promise.
This report should provide a wake up call to employers of finance professionals to embrace the career aspirations of the youngest generation and offer dynamic career routes that capitalise on their finance skills. If employers get this wrong, there's a significant risk of losing future talent, particularly if global economic conditions start improving.

ACLU's Client Remains Gagged as Clock Ticks in Patriot Act Debate
Librarian Prohibited From Full Participation in National Discussion
Learn more about the National Security Letters >>
NEW YORK -- Following an open hearing in front of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York, Judges Sotomayor, Wesley and Brieant granted a stay of U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall's decision enjoining the government from enforcing an FBI imposed gag. The gag is preventing the American Civil Liberties Union's client, a member of the American Library Association, from participating in the debate about the Patriot Act.
At the same hearing, the court set an expedited schedule for the appeal, with September 27 as the date that the government's brief is due, October 4 as the date the ACLU's response brief is due and October 10 as the date the reply brief is due.
The court said that it might reconsider the timetable if it becomes clear that Congress might finalize legislation to reauthorize the Patriot Act before the appeal could be decided. According to the ACLU, Congress is set to take up final discussion on the Patriot Act after the Senate vote on the nomination of John Roberts to be Chief Justice which is slated for next week.
More information about the ACLU's cases against the National Security Letter provision of the Patriot Act is available online at www.aclu.org/nsl

Tennis: Djokovic eyes 20th Slam against heavyweight Berrettini in Wimbledon final
AFP , Sunday 11 Jul 2021
Victory roar: Novak Djokovic celebrates winning against Denis Shapovalov in the semi-final
Novak Djokovic admits "it will mean everything" to capture a sixth Wimbledon title and record-equalling 20th Grand Slam on Sunday but he will have to overcome Matteo Berrettini, the Italian slugger with the build of a heavyweight boxer.
Djokovic will move level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on career majors with victory and also go three-quarters of the way to the first calendar Slam in more than half a century.
The 34-year-old is in his seventh Wimbledon final and 30th at the Slams.
Only Federer, with 31, has appeared in more championship matches at the majors but the fading Swiss star is more than five years older.
"It would mean everything. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm playing," said Djokovic who has already captured a ninth Australian Open and second French Open in 2021.
The victory in Paris made him just the third man to win all four majors more than once.
"I imagined myself being in a position to fight for another Grand Slam trophy prior to coming to London.
"I put myself in a very good position. Anything is possible in the finals. Obviously experience is on my side."
Djokovic needed all that experience and famed iron will to see off Denis Shapovalov in the semi-finals where he saved 10 of 11 break points.
Shapovalov was so distraught at the failure of his all-out assault that had pushed Djokovic to the brink that he left Centre Court in tears.
"There is no holding back once you step out on the court, particularly in the later stages of an event that I always dreamt of winning," said Djokovic after a 20th successive grass court win.
- 'It's crazy' -
"The dream keeps going. I am trying to take out the maximum of my own abilities every single match and see what happens. Giving up is never an option."
Djokovic can also win an 85th career title on Sunday while his on-court earnings break through the $150 million mark.
Berrettini, the 25-year-old world number nine, is the first Italian ever to make a singles final at Wimbledon.
Victory will make him Italy's first male Slam champion since Adriano Panatta at the 1976 French Open.
He has lost both his previous encounters with Djokovic, including the quarter-finals at Roland Garros last month.
But he is on a run of 11-0 this season on grass having won the Queen's Club event on the eve of Wimbledon.
At the All England Club, he has blasted his way to the final on the back of a tournament-leading 101 aces.
Berrettini also boasts the second fastest serve so far, 223.7kmh in his first round win over Guido Pella of Argentina.
Weighing in at 95kg -- the same as a heavyweight boxer -- Berrettini has also unleashed 254 winners so far to Djokovic's 190.
However, his unforced error count is 167 compared to the Serb's 126.
The two men have only dropped serve five times each.
Sunday's final may not be a showreel of shot-making -- rallies for both players are at an average of under four strokes.
Berrettini, meanwhile, has not served and volleyed once in his six matches.
"It's going to be a great atmosphere. My first final in Wimbledon, it's just crazy to think about it," said Berrettini.
A shock victory on Sunday could be the first part of a sporting double for Italy in London with the country's football team taking on England in the Euro 2020 final.
"Obviously for Italian people in general, but it's going to be tough Sunday," he said.
Berrettini is likely to have the majority of the 15,000 fans inside Centre Court behind him.
Djokovic has become familiar with such scenarios.
"People also like to see someone win who is an underdog or is not maybe expected to win, is not the favourite to win," admitted Djokovic.
"But hopefully people can also recognise also the importance of this match for me, the history that is on the line.
"I'm prepared for anything really that is going to happen in terms of the crowd support on Sunday."
Seven-time major champion John McEnroe believes the Italian's only hope is all-out assault.
"Berrettini has a puncher's chance," the American told the BBC.
"He has a huge serve and a huge forehand, but it is about whether he can execute and take it to Djokovic enough. If he can get Djokovic on his heels often enough then it could be competitive."

Patrick Modiano of France wins Nobel Literature Prize
A photo taken on Oct 7, 2003 in Paris shows French writer Patrick Modiano who won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Royal Swedish Academy announced on Oct 9, 2014 in Stockholm, Sweden. Mr Modiano's work has often focused on World War II and the 1940s. -- PHOTO: AFP
https://str.sg/36Ki
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - Patrick Modiano, a French historical novelist whose work is largely inspired by Paris under the Nazi occupation, won the Nobel Literature Prize on Thursday.
The Swedish Academy said it wanted to celebrate his "art of memory" in capturing the lives of ordinary people under the World War II occupation, from 1940 to 1944.
"This is someone who has written many books that echo off each other... that are about memory, identity and aspiration," said Peter Englund, the permanent secretary of the academy.
Modiano will receive the prize sum of eight million Swedish kronor (S$1.78 million). He will be presented with his award at a formal ceremony in Stockholm on December 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.
The Nazi occupation of France has provided the material for a large part of Modiano's literary production.
Apart from a long series of books, in the early 1970s, Modiano co-wrote the screenplay for Lacombe Lucien, a movie directed by Louis Malle focusing on French collaboration with the Nazis.
Last year's Nobel Literature Prize went to the Canadian short-story writer Alice Munro.

The much awaited sequel – Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2! I was so excited when I heard that they were making a sequel – although sequel's aren't always the best, I was so impressed with this! I personally think that it is much better than the first film!
I don't want to give much away about the film, so I'll just write my opinions here.
My main reason: the adorable characters that are in this film! I was amazed by the world that they created, it's something that I would've loved to work on and design. They combined animals with food, to create different creatures for this new world such as Hipotatomus and Mosquitoast. It was insanely adorable, brightly coloured and full of humour. If I may say, the cuteness pushed the monkey out of the scene a little bit (especially the strawberry).
If you haven't seen this, but loved the first one then GO AND SEE IT ASAP! You will be pleasantly surprised!
This film is definitely suitable for all ages, especially children, but also for the big children at heart. I would also recommend this to the animation lovers.

The FAA is standing pat on its existing policy not to allow private drones for commercial purposes, including search-and-rescue operations.
The humanitarian group's contention is that the FAA ban on their drones is "absurd" considering that it allows hobbyists to fly drones for fun, while what they have been doing is to help families search for their missing loved ones.
The FAA should be able to clarify its ambiguous definitions of terms; otherwise as the aforementioned article opines that the impact of these ambiguities is such that it negatively results to inconsistencies and an ever expanding list of supposedly illegal uses of model aircraft.
If the drone industry is to take off smoothly and safely, then the FAA should address all these valid concerns the soonest time possible or the industry will be left to individual self-regulations, even circumventing around the law, posing greater risk, and all these will only undermine the awesome benefits this fledgling industry has to offer.

This week a member of my church died. Rick was a young man — only in his early fifties, but that 's young to me. It happened so fast — a massive stroke that no one expected. So what goes through my mind when a believer I know goes through that doorway to heaven?
Three years ago in March my father died. His death was not unexpcted. He had been in and out of hospitals for a year and was recovering from gall baldder surgery that had serious complications. It was no surprise, then, when we received the call on the Thursday after Easter early in the morning that he was gone.
All through that first day after he died, amid the busyness of all that must be done when a loved one dies, I kept going back to the thought, "What do you do the first day in heaven?" I pictured my Dad arriving in glory, being met by Jesus, and surrounded by people he knew. But what do you do the first day in heaven? Is it like the first day at a new job with all kinds of orientation tasks to do? How much time do you spend with Jesus? Who shows you the ropes?
I could imagine tmy Dad's reunion with his father who passed away over forty years earlier. I could imagine him meeting A. W. Pink, one of his favorite theologians, and having a serious discussion. But then again, maybe my imaginings are all wrong. Who really knows what you do the first day in heaven, but do we need to know? The most important thing is that our present sufferings will be over and we will be in the presence of Jesus. This is the most important long-awaited reunion.
I think about my friend, Rick, and wonder what glories in heaven he's experiencing now.
Nobody knows when which day will be his last day on earth and his first day in heaven. I have many things left to do before I leave this world and enter the next — books to write, people to talk do, time to spend with my grandchildren. I want to finish them all. Yet part of me longs to see Jesus; part of me is eager for the day when I will find out firsthand what it is a person does her first day in heaven.


The last two weeks I have had the opportunity to host an amazing team of girls from Australia who came to teach English for a week at one of our Partners for Compassion sponsored schools. After talking with them, the importance of our education programs and the importance of what we do really hit me in a new way, and I want to share a few of my musings with you….
Education. Education is a part of life that we generally take for granted. It is a part of our childhood that we may have loved or hated—but never questioned it being a part of our lives.
Imagine a life where education is a luxury and not a basic necessity. Imagine a life where having a middle school education is a milestone achievement. Imagine not having the option to go to school, not because you don't want to, but because the cost for registration and books is more money than your family can afford.
Education is not supposed to be a privilege or a luxury…it should be a basic part of life. I believe that is why our schools are so important. We provide the best education we can to students who would otherwise not be in school. By investing in the next generation—equipping them to be thoughtful and productive citizens—we can change a generation and maybe even a whole nation.
What better gift can we give a child than a quality education? We may not be able to change the whole world…but we can impact the one. And that one may just be the one who changes the world.
I believe that if we say that we love, than there should be an action that follows. Because to love is to do. Love is a VERB.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - Tyler's booming restaurant scene is one of the things that draws people to the city from surrounding areas.
When a new restaurant opens, people flock to it, willing to wait in line for hours to try it out. A trip down South Broadway reveals numerous options available, from different Tex-Mex eateries, gourmet burger joints, and various pizza places.
But if you're looking to satisfy a craving for soul food, you'll want to turn around and head north on Broadway instead, to find Freddie Mae's Soul Food Restaurant on Martin Luther King, just off North Broadway.
Freddie Mae's is a family-owned eatery which opened in August 2016, a collaboration between relatives Chris Ross, Jay Hampton, and Fred Ross.
Fred is the head chef, as well as being half of the name of the restaurant's namesake. Mae is after his grandmother, Ardie Mae. Fred spoke with us about the origin of his recipes, his inspiration, and what really qualifies as soul food.
Fred told us he's been working in food since he graduated from Lindale High School, but his training began well before that.
"My grandmother Ardie Mae was always cooking, was always at the stove. I'd go to her house after school and I'd say 'Grandma, what are you doing, you're always cooking!' and she'd say, 'I'm just getting dinner ready.'"
Soon, though, Fred decided her food was so good that he wanted to learn how to make it, too.
"I said 'Can I help you cook?' And she said, 'Sure, come on in here.' And I did. I can still see her making the dough for the dumplings from scratch. It tasted so wonderful," he recalled.
Fred said that she started by teaching him how to scramble eggs, but he moved up quickly from those to more difficult things.
"She taught me everything - from the eggs to making the pork chops, fried chicken, greens, meatloaf, all of that. And of course the chicken and dumplings," he recalled with a smile.
Fred's instruction from Grandmother Ardie Mae led him into a now decades-long career.
"After I graduated from high school, I didn't have the benefits to go to college, you might say, so I got a job in a kitchen. I started at Hideaway Lake Country Club as a dishwasher. I guess the manager there took heed of my cooking, as I always asked him if I could make my own dinner on my break, until finally he came in one day and said, 'Fred, I want you to not wash another pan. I want you to move to the kitchen," Fred said.
"I was excited. I was about to be a cook! There was a lady there named Odessa, and she was awesome. She's still there, in fact; we're talking 30-plus years. She was real deep into casseroles and that kind of thing, and taught me some of that. And we just got together and it was pretty good." he said.
Fred moved on eventually, this time to Emerald Bay Country Club.
"I went to Emerald Bay and I was there for 22 years. We had fried chicken nights, fried fish nights, that kind of thing, and the people loved it. Then I came here, and some of those people will come by here and say, 'We sure do miss you, you want to come back, don't you?'" he laughed. "They loved my cooking, I guess."
But now he's thriving at the helm of a kitchen in his family restaurant, inspired by his grandmother Ardie Mae's recipes, some of which he makes just like she did, but he says he adds his own touch to many things. However, for one classic soul food, he does it pretty much the same way she did.
"When you cook greens, whichever kind you cook, you've got to get the water right," he said, referring to the pot liquor the greens will cook in. "Whatever you put in there is what your greens are going to taste like. Use ham hock, some "salt joe" (salt pork), cut you off a hunk of that to drop in there, and then let it reduce down. Add a little salt and pepper, a little garlic, whatever you like. When your water starts changing color and it starts to smell good, taste it and make sure it tastes like you want it to. That's when you add your greens, and then you let them cook down for an hour or two to get them real tender," he explained.
Another family member joined us at the table then, just as we were discussing National Soul Food Month and had begun trying to narrow the list of essential soul foods down to just five must-haves.
"I'm all about baking, my love is sweets," said Cameron Donnell, who Fred said he's raised as his son since he was 3 months old and who now, at 30, is the restaurant manager. "Banana pudding, sweet potato pie, lemon meringue pie, buttermilk pie, peach cobbler, blueberry or mixed berry cobbler, they all go in there."
Eventually, we decided we could not have all sweets on the Top 5 soul foods list, so we tweaked it a bit after some discussion.
In addition to each of these scrumptious offerings at Freddie Mae's, Fred adds that a couple times a month he makes neck bones in gravy, which he cooks until the meat is tender and falling off the bone; he is also well-known by fans for his smothered pork chops.
"The smothered pork chops, as well as the meatloaf, are big sellers. They go fast. Sometimes the baked chicken will sell out, too," he said.
"The smothered pork chops are a favorite because they're cooked so tender you don't have to use a knife. One man said they're so tender he could eat them with a spoon," he laughed. "That's when you know they're right."
So for National Soul Food Month, which has been declared for the month of June in the U.S., Fred and Cam and the rest of the family say to come try their food out, because not only is it local and family-run, but there's something special about soul food, in general.
"For good soul food, you can't just follow a recipe and think, 'I can do that.' It might taste OK, but that's not the same. You have to learn it from hands-on experience, you have to really get in there and put in the work and make it pay off. It's more of a tradition thing, where we put the heart and soul into it," Fred said, patting his chest.
And Cam says that with their family's friendly service and Fred's food, he knows one thing for sure.
"I can promise you that when you eat here, your stomach is going to be happy. It's going to have a big smile on its face," he laughed, while Fred just shook his head with a grin.
As for Grandmother Ardie Mae, and what she'd think of her young family members taking her recipes and launching their dream with it, Fred said just one thing.
"I think she'd be proud. I know she would."
Freddie Mae's is located at 403 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd in Tyler. Their number is 903-630-8680. They are open 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 7 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday. Click here to visit them on Facebook.

Authorities have seized cryptocurrency exchange Bitzlato, and arrested its co-founder, accusing the firm of fuelling a "high-tech axis of crypto crime".
The US Department of Justice charged Anatoly Legkodymov, a Russian national living in China, with running a business that catered to what he once described as "crooks".
They said Bitzlato processed more than $700m (£567m) in illicit funds, breaking rules designed to thwart money laundering.
Mr Legkodymov was arrested in Miami.
"Institutions that trade in cryptocurrency are not above the law and their owners are not beyond our reach," US Attorney Breon Peace said at a press conference on Wednesday, announcing the arrest.
"As alleged, Bitzlato sold itself to criminals as a no-questions-asked cryptocurrency exchange and reaped hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of deposits as a result. The defendant is now paying the price for the malign role that his company played in the cryptocurrency ecosystem."
Since 2018, the Hong Kong-registered exchange had processed about $4.5bn worth of cryptocurrency transactions, according to the complaint.
The firm required minimal identification from its users, allowing it to become a "haven for criminal proceeds and funds intended for use in criminal activity", prosecutors said.
They alleged that the firm was aware of the issues, citing an internal document that described Bitzlato as handling "dirty money" without standard customer-vetting procedures.
Authorities said the firm was closely connected to Hydra Market, a darknet marketplace for drugs, money laundering and stolen financial information that international authorities shut down last year.
Bitzlato claimed it did not accept US customers but prosecutors said it in fact did "substantial" business with Americans.
US authorities worked with law enforcement in France and other countries on the operation.

"Pastor, we are tired of fasting and praying. Why doesn't God stop the Muslims from killing us?"
Christians asked this of a pastor friend in Nigeria recently. He and other pastors in the Middle Belt and North of Nigeria are facing the same question.
Nigerian Christianity is under siege from radical Islam. The country's importance in both Africa and the new Christianity of the Global South makes this siege particularly noteworthy. Nigeria is Africa's most populous country. With a population of about 200 million (50% Christian, 40% Muslim, 10% animist) and a birthrate of 5.5, the United Nations estimates that by 2050 Nigeria will surpass the United States in population and become the third most populous country in the world. It is no wonder that for several decades Muslims have made Christian-majority Nigeria a strategic target.
Since the beginning of 2018 eight thousand Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, have been massacred by Boko Haram, a radical Muslim movement whose name means "western education forbidden." Since 2009 twenty thousand Christians have been hacked with machetes or shot with AK-47s. Two million have been displaced. Pastors and their families have been specifically targeted for death.
The government's response has only deepened Christian frustrations. President Buhari, a Muslim, describes the violence as a "clash" between Fulani tribesmen and farmers (who are mostly Christian). But as a Christian pastor recently told fellow refugees in a camp for the displaced, "The government is telling the world what it wants to hear, that this has nothing to do with religion. But we ask, 'Why are all the attackers Boko Haram? And why do they target only Christians?' The government says Muslims too have been killed. But that is because Boko Haram bombs set off in the market accidentally strike Muslims who were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
In 2010 I started reporting about these attacks for a popular radio show in Nigeria, and then for CNN. By 2012 people started calling me whenever there was an attack around Jos, the central city in the Middle Belt where the majority of attacks were directed. As a result I am usually the first reporter on the scene of an attack. Tragically, I have come to the scene of over one hundred massacres, one time finding 500 mutilated bodies.
Pastors in mid- and northern Nigeria face daunting pressures. Some conduct funerals almost every week for victims, often in mass burials. They struggle to answer their parishioners' questions about God's love and justice. They hear the world media dismiss this as an ethnic clash, when they know it is a strategic scorched-earth war, a modern-day jihad against Christianity.
Because of this desperate situation, I have organized apologetics seminars for pastors. We meet secretly. Our meetings are announced by cellphone only an hour before, lest our venue be discovered by secret police. To protect against informers, we invite only those pastors who are recommended by another reliable pastor. Twice we have had to cancel at the last minute because of a suicide bomber. Some bombers have been little girls about 10 years old wearing a hijab to cover their explosive device.
We use five approaches to talk about God and evil. First we explain that God made us free to love or hate him. Without that freedom there would be no love.
Second, life does not end on this earth. Third, God is just. Someday there will be judgment, and no evildoer will get away with the evil he or she has done.
Fourth, God is love. That can be hard to believe in this evil time unless we look at Jesus' cross. There God himself suffered at the hands of evil men, and because of it love was released for the whole world.
Fifth, we listen to testimonies of pastors and other Christians who saw the manifest presence of God in the midst of suffering and were transformed.
Our seminars have gone well. One pastor spoke for many: "Now I know that nothing can stop the Church of Jesus Christ. I will continue as a pastor and evangelist. If I get killed doing this, so be it."
Several years ago I received a phone call saying that someone had found my wallet, and I could get it at an abandoned race course if I met him there. I knew it was fishy because I don't carry a wallet. Then when I was investigating a story about another massacre south of Jos, I saw a charcoal message emblazoned on a wall, "Hassan, we know about you and will meet you one day." Later a Muslim friend confirmed that Boko Haram had put a bounty of $700 on my head.
Since then I have taken many precautions. But I refuse to live in fear. I tell myself that if God does not protect me, no one else can.

Presidential potluck
Sunday, January 18th, 2009 | All Things, Eats, Friends
In honor of our 44th president, SYB's monthly potluck dinner featured foods from Chicago and Hawai'i (but not Indonesia or Kenya.)
It was a snowy Sunday when we all gathered in Sunnyside… complicated further by travel detours due to the seemingly endless track work on the 7 line. No service between Queens and Manhattan until March? Why do these disruptions always seem to coincide with Chinese New Year?
But I digress. JL already had signed on to bring the Chicago-style deep-dish pizza (one of the 20 Worst Foods in America?), so when the prospect of tracking down the curiously extensive array of toppings that go into a Chicago dog proved too daunting, I went the Hawaiian route instead. Also, admittedly, I just didn't know what else qualified as uniquely Chicagoan fare. (Um, sauerkraut?)
Tonight marked my first attempt at making a pineapple upside-down cake, and aside from the nerve-wracking sequence of inverting the cake pan layers atop one another (parchment helps a lot), I think it turned out pretty well.
I first heard of this dessert on The Jetsons animated series in the early 1980s — it was Rosie the robot maid's specialty! — not realizing then that it was an actual cake and not some fanciful futuristic Hanna-Barbera invention. Much later than I care to admit, I learned that, in fact, it's an American classic with origins dating to the turn of the last century.
SYB provided the ice cream to accompany my cake: vanilla, though, not Yes Pecan — Ben & Jerry's "Inspirational Blend" of "Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans."
Maraschino cherries, by the way, are maddeningly difficult to locate in a supermarket if you've never had occasion to buy them before. In the canned fruits section? Baking supplies? Pickles? Drink mixers? No, no, no and no. At my local Food Emporium, at least, the bright red jars are located just off the ice cream freezer cases, near the colored sprinkles. Well sure, that makes perfect sense… in retrospect.

Cheese: The Anti-Drug
Sunday, April 20th, 2008 | All Things, Eats, Friends
Pope Benedict XVI's visit and the Papal Mass at Yankee Stadium may have thinned our dinner ranks a bit, but those who made it to Sunnyside for SYB's potluck were treated to an evening of good, clean fun. In honor of 4/20, the theme tonight was munchies/baked things. Hey, it's a mainstream media event now.
Now I've been known to bake a cake or two, so pretty early on I had decided to take up that portion of the cooking challenge. But in the final days leading up to dinner, concerned about a potential spread of Twinkies and Frito Pie, I decided to bring something I could eat for dinner myself. (I needn't have worried, as it turned out: there were salads, quesadillas, pita chips and guacamole, sweet & sour pork and cannoli. Also: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made with AP's wonderful homebaked bread.)
I had a surfeit of cheese on hand due to back-to-back runs to Murray's Cheese and the Fairway fromagerie: two types of cheddar (New York and Australian), plus selections from J's birthday cheese platter: Asiago, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano. (I made the executive decision to leave out the Saint Agur blue and the chèvre. You're welcome.)
There are many recipe variations on mac n' cheese, but knowing SYB's preference for the casserole-type dish over the stove-top variety (and in keeping with the night's "baked" theme), I used a recipe similar to Alton Brown's, which begins with a roux and is topped with panko. The "Good Eats" guy recommends cutting the leftovers into chunks to be dredged and deep fried for Next Day Mac and Cheese "Toast" — an intriguing, if not very heart-healthy, option.
So why is cheese such a crowd pleaser? One chemical explanation is that when dairy proteins break down, they release casomorphin, an opioid, and tyrosine, a non-essential amino acid. (Tyrosine comes from the Greek tyros, meaning "cheese," and is also the root of tyrophile, or turophile — "one who loves cheese.") Tyrosine is in turn converted into the pleasure/rush-inducing dopamine and norepinephrine.
A natural high, if ever there was one.

Isn't that special?
Saturday, November 17th, 2007 | All Things, Friends
The 7 train has undergone its share of construction detours this year, but this weekend's commute was probably the most convoluted of all. No service to Manhattan, trains running express in one direction… the service change/alternate route announcements were comically long, and as usual — though much improved from back in the day — nearly indecipherable. The signage inside the cars didn't even attempt an explanation:
Nonetheless, I managed to deliver my stuffed pork loin safely out to Sunnyside (brining works!), where just the most hardcore of dinner devotees had gathered this night.
Post-dinner, as we were catching up on DVR-ed episodes of How I Met Your Mother, I felt a guilty twinge of recognition during the "Spoiler Alert" episode… further enhanced by the meaningful looks cast pointedly in my direction during the "Mr. Corrector" bits. Oy!

Moves for £300,000 upgrade to fire station
UPGRADES costing £337,000 are being planned for a Blairgowrie fire station, it emerged yesterday.
Andrew Welsh
Tayside Fire and Rescue has submitted proposals to Perth and Kinross Council seeking a green light to expand its premises in west Blairgowrie, which were built in 1956.
Fire chiefs want to form an extension at the back of the single-storey building, which is located at the junction of West George Street and Lochy Street.
The new-look fire station, which would be enlarged by 90sqm to 250sqm, would include a purpose-built lecture room, kitchen, toilets, showers and storerooms. A proposal to regrade the 1000sqm site's rear turning area to form a new entrance is also on the table.
Fire and Rescue spokesman Fraser Wright told the PA the Blair station currently employs 23 retained staff.
"The extension costs will be paid over two years," he said yesterday. It will cost £151,000 this financial year and £186,000 in the next.
"With things still at the planning stage, a decision on when the work will be happening has not been finalised yet."

Neil Douglas-Klotz, Ph.D. is a world-renowned scholar in religious studies, spirituality and psychology. Living in Fife, Scotland, he directs the Edinburgh Institute for Advanced Learning (www.eial.org) and for many years was co-chair of the Mysticism Group of the American Academy of Religion. In 1982, with the Rev. Tasnim Fernandez, he co-founded the International Network of the Dances of Universal Peace (www.dancesofuniversalpeace.org).
A frequent speaker and workshop leader, he is the author of several books. His books on the Aramaic spirituality of Jesus include Prayers of the Cosmos, The Hidden Gospel, Original Meditation: The Aramaic Jesus and the Spirituality of Creation, and Blessings of the Cosmos. His books on a comparative view of 'native' Middle Eastern spirituality includeDesert Wisdom: A Nomad's Guide to Life's Big Questions and The Tent of Abraham (with Rabbi Arthur Waskow and Sr. Joan Chittister). His books on Sufi spirituality include The Sufi Book of Life: 99 Pathways of the Heart for the Modern Dervish and A Little Book of Sufi Stories. His biographical collections of the works of his Sufi teachers include Gardens of Vision and Initiation (Samuel L. Lewis) and Illuminating the Shadow (Moineddin Jablonski). He has also written a mystery novel set in the first century C.E. Holy Land entitled A Murder at Armageddon.
He recently edited four "Little Books" published by Hampton Roads devoted to a new selection of the work of Lebanese-American writer, poet and painter Kahlil Gibran, based on his Middle Eastern roots and culture. In 2021, his anthology of classic writings on spiritual ecology was published by Hampton Roads under the title Wild Wisdom.
Known also for his citizen diplomacy work, Neil led several group trips to Russia and the Middle East and in 2004 cofounded the Edinburgh International Festival of Middle Eastern Spirituality and Peace (www.eicsp.org). In 2005 he was awarded the Kessler-Keener Foundation Peacemaker of the Year award for his work in Middle Eastern peacemaking.
Under his Sufi name, Saadi Shakur Chishti, Neil also offers spiritual retreats combining his work with Native Middle Eastern spirituality with the lineage of Chishti Sufism. He was a long-time student of the Murshid Moineddin Jablonski (d. 2001), the spiritual successor of Sufi Ahmed Murad Chishti (1996-1971), who was the student of Hazrat Inayat Khan Chishti and Pir Barkat Ali. Saadi was recognised by Moineddin as a teacher in the Sufi path in 1981 and a senior teacher (murshid) in 1993. His current Sufi mentors include Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri. He also serves on the advisory board of the International Association of Sufism. (www.ruhaniateurope.org).
Moineddin Jablonski wrote:
"The passion play of personal crisis serves to create the human being anew, to move the soul a step closer to its spiritual purpose. Thus it has been, thus will it be. Let us start from our knees for a change, and pray that we become instruments of the divine compassion."
"We are indeed entering a new era of humanity, a time of massive inner and outer change and growth. Earth herself is giving birth to what she must become. Upheaval–personal, societal, and geologic– are the labor and birth pangs that will create greater consciousness of spiritual reality for all. As each one of us is moved into Soul-consciousness, and we are being so moved, we will select our own modes of spiritual realization. What we now know as 'Sufism' will become vastly expanded and transformed. It will be like the reported meeting of Inayat Khan and Nyogen Senzaki. They entered samadhi together, 'and Sufism and Zen became like yesterday's dream.'"


If your organization is working with Agile approaches to project management, the PMI-ACP certification may be right for you. The PMI-ACP recognizes knowledge of Agile principles, practices, and the tools and techniques applied across Agile methodologies.
CClearning 3-day PMI Agile Certified Practitioner provides an optimal mix of classroom lectures, interactive case studies, assignments and additional reading materials to successfully prepare you to pass the PMI-ACP exam.
This course is aimed at people who work in Agile teams and want to obtain the PMI-ACP certification. The objective of this 3-day course is to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to pass the PMI-ACP examination, and to successfully apply Agile practices in their organization.
The Agile methodology is more adaptive, people-oriented and focuses on constant input and cyclical change, which opens the door for continuous improvement during the project. This, as opposed to the more process-oriented, sequential, predictive structure of traditional project management as defined by the PMBOK® Guide.
There are no official prerequisites for this course. However, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basics of Agile through a variety of online articles. If you plan to take the PMI-ACP exam upon completion of this course, you should meet the requirements for PMI-ACP certification described in the "About the Examination" section at the end of this document.
* Understand the processes of Agile methodologies.
* Understand the Agile project phases, Agile life cycle and stakeholders, key Agile management skills and the social-economic-environmental influences.
* Understand the concepts of product backlog, sprint planning, sprint reviews and retrospectives, along with other factors such as prioritizations using different techniques.
* Understand the Professional Responsibilities concerning Agile Project Management.
* Be fully prepared to take and pass the PMI-ACP exam.
* Candidates need to meet PMI's requirements for PMI-ACP certification (as listed below).
* The PMI-ACP examination consists of 120 multiple-choice questions. Of the 120 questions, 20 are considered pre-test questions. These pre-test questions do not affect the score. They are simply used in examinations as an effective and legitimate way to test the validity of future examination questions. All pre-test questions are unmarked and randomly placed throughout the examination.

SENATE CANDIDATE ROY MOORE SAYS OBERGEFELL 'EVEN WORSE' THAN DRED SCOTT RULING UPHOLDING SLAVERY: This what Moore, the candidate for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat, had to say about the Supreme Court of the United States' national marriage equality ruling: "I was simply pointing out that in 1857 the United States Supreme Court did rule that black people were property. And of course that contradicted the Constitution and it took a civil war to overturn it," he said in a podcast interview last November, TPM reported. Moore goes on: "But this ruling in Obergefell is even worse, in a sense, because it forces not only people to recognize marriage other than the institution ordained of God and recognized by nearly every state in the union, it says that you now must do away with the definition of marriage and make it between two persons of the same gender…" In 2016, Moore was removed from the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to implement a ruling that brought marriage equality to Alabama. Recently, he took his extremism one step further by saying that he and Vladimir Putin may be "more akin... than [he] knows," specifically citing both of their views on LGBTQ rights.

2020 Yamaha YZF-R1 And YZF-R1M Technical Gallery
Kevin Cameron takes you on a visual tour of the latest R1.
By Kevin Cameron
CaptionWe had received the memo: Drop everything and go to Yamaha's MotoAmerica Superbike race hospitality area at Laguna Seca to see the 2020 YZF-R1 ($17,300) and limited-production 2020 YZF-R1M ($26,099). For a month, the internet had vibrated with speculation. Would this be an update? Could it be all-new, top to bottom, and so the first Japanese MotoGP replica? Talk, talk, talk, but no info. Patience! We took our seats. Umbrella girls were in position. No phone bandwidth; so many of us trying to report! The video, violin music, and finally the drapery was whisked aside.courtesy of yamahaWe had received the memo: Drop everything and go to Yamaha's MotoAmerica Superbike race hospitality area at Laguna Seca to see the 2020 YZF-R1 ($17,300) and limited-production 2020 YZF-R1M ($26,099).

Iran - Q&A - Excerpts from the daily press briefing (02.01.18)
Q - What's your reaction to the demonstrations in Iran?
A - The French authorities are closely monitoring the situation in Iran. Demonstrating freely is a fundamental right. The same is true for the free movement of information. France expresses its concern over the large number of victims and arrests. These issues, and more generally speaking, human rights, will be central to our discussions with the Iranian authorities in the coming weeks.
Q - Will Friday's trip to Iran by Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian still take place, despite the demonstrations and the violence?
A - We have no information to convey to you at this stage. As the minister has said several times, France is in favor of a regular, direct, rigorous dialogue with Iran. That dialogue includes the question of human rights.

All Shaw Cinemas being Inspected Following Falling Ventilation Duct Incident at Nex Shopping Mall
Reported in The Straits Times on 2 September 2020 and Channel News
Asia on 6 October 2020
Two moviegoers were injured on Sunday, 30 August 2020, after ventilation ducts in a cinema hall in Nex shopping mall fell from the ceiling. As a result, all Shaw Cinemas are being inspected as a precautionary measure.
The Nex branch is currently closed to investigate the incident, as well as assess the condition of other ducts in the affected cinema hall. The two injured moviegoers have since been discharged from hospital.
Preliminary findings indicate that a significant amount of water had accumulated in the layer of acoustic material surrounding the ACMV (air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation) duct, whose weight likely overloaded the brackets that were supporting the duct, causing them to give way.
Ms. Gloria James-Civetta, head lawyer at Gloria James-Civetta & Co, said that the injured patrons could pursue a "tort action" against the cinema for negligence, adding that they could possibly get compensation for pain and suffering or even loss of income because of the incident.
The question of which party to be sued will have to be determined by a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
Shaw cinemas at Nex is set to re-open in April 2021, in which more precautionary measures will be taken to prevent a recurrence of such incidents in the future.

Review Summary: A unique recording for Coltrane before a stylistic shift.
Crescent holds the distinction of being the final recording before a sizable shift in approach to composing for Coltrane. Slightly under-appreciated and completely overshadowed by the notoriety of the album to immediately follow, but still well acclaimed in its own right, the album holds some of his finest ballads in Lonnie's Lament and Wise One - beautifully performed originals, particularly the former. They're also notable for being some of his final ballads before he radically changed his approach to writing and playing them, as evidenced on the fascinating, more free-form styles of songs such as Psalm and Dearly Beloved from later albums. Structurally, the songs here are far more typical of a post-bop composition than what would follow. So they make for interesting listening even as a means of comparison.
The line-up was well and truly settled by this point and the interplay is faultless – McCoy Tyner's piano work is a highlight, particularly on the ballads with Coltrane's spare, spaced melodies giving him plenty of time and room to shine. His playing contrasts with the aggressive style he's known for but is perfect for this setting. Elvin Jones is given free rein on The Drum Thing – at that point pretty much an oddity in Coltrane's catalogue, which somewhat foreshadows a later record he did with Rashied Ali consisting purely of drums and saxophone. The piano sitting out creates an odd, empty, anxious vibe and fittingly this is the most obviously intense cut courtesy of Jones' drum solo.
Elsewhere, the dark tone is maintained with the title track, which would be expanded upon when played live. The record doesn't follow the song suite approach he favours on other milestone albums. There lies the biggest point of contention - the record's flow. Bessie's Blues is a brief, enjoyable, bright blues song which arrives smack dab in the middle of the album, surrounded by darker, down tempo, moody tracks. The sequencing is really the only sore point and it's difficult to see where it could've fit in any case.
Crescent lacks the explosive energy of so much of his other celebrated work, but that's simply a way to distinguish it from those records – not a stick to beat it with. It has a mood all of its own – calming and uneasy all at once. It's one of Coltrane's more accessible recordings from this period, a step below his best work but not drastically, a great night-time listen, and one of the most beautiful from a vast, varied, fascinating body of work.
Even though I'm not a huge jazz fan, I think I'll check this one.
Great review too man, pos.
This is a good one. I like the mellower vibe. To be honest, a lot of Coltrane's stuff gets far too complicated for me to really get into around this time. Nothing against his free and avant stuff, because there's a few tracks that I really enjoy, but I much prefer his bop/traditionally structured stuff.
i'm mostly the same man - the major exception being Meditations, which is absolutely amazing to me now.


Shale is extremely anisotropic, unlike sandstone and carbonates, which exhibit weak anisotropy. Any seismic data acquired over shale gas deposits will be affected by this strong anisotropy, and processing and interpretation of seismic data have to take anisotropy into account.
The BGS Edinburgh Anisotropy Project (EAP) is a world-leading research team that has pioneered the use of seismic anisotropy for characterisation of natural fractured reservoirs.
It is developing further innovative methods for fracture mapping using wide azimuth 3D P-wave data, 3D-3C land multicomponent data, and 3D-4C ocean bottom cable (OBC) data, with applications in mapping fracture patterns in shales.
The EAP produces guidelines for best practice, provides training courses and undertakes consultancy work.
For further information about induced seismicity see Fracking and seismic activity.
Analysis allows prediction of seismic properties of shales and shale gas deposits for given mineral compositions and total organic carbon (TOC). The rock physics model provides the basis for any lithological inversion using seismic data.

Something most remarkable and unexpected has occurred in the field of psychiatry. Lead by a lifelong defender and promoter of shock treatment, Harold Sackeim, a team of investigators has recently published a follow up study of 347 patients given the currently available methods of electroshock, including the supposedly most benign forms--and confirmed that electroshock causes permanent brain damage and dysfunction.
Based on numerous standardized psychological tests, six months after the last ECT every form of the treatment was found to cause lasting memory and mental dysfunction. In the summary words of the investigators, "Thus, adverse cognitive effects were detected six months following the acute treatment course." They concluded, "this study provides the first evidence in a large, prospective sample that adverse cognitive effects can persist for an extended period, and that they characterize routine treatment with ECT in community settings."
The term cognitive dysfunction covers the entire range of mental faculties from memory to abstract thinking and judgment. The ECT-induced persistent brain dysfunction was global. In addition to the loss of autobiographical memories, the most marked cognitive injury occurred in "retention of newly learned information," "simple reaction time," and most tragically "global cognitive status" or overall mental function. In other words, the patients continued to have trouble learning and remembering new things, they were slower in their mental reaction times, and they were mentally impaired across a broad range of faculties.
Some of the older forms of shock--and still the most commonly used--produced the most severe damage; but all of the treatment types caused persistent brain dysfunction. The greater the number of treatments given to patients, the greater was the loss of biographical memories. Elderly women are particularly likely to get shocked--probably because there is no one to defend them--and the study found that the elderly and females were the most susceptible to severe memory loss.
The study does not address the actual impact of these losses on the lives of individual patients. Like most such reports, it's all a matter of statistics. In human reality the loss of autobiographical memories indicates that patients could no longer recall important life experiences, such as their wedding, family celebrations, graduations, vacation trips, and births and deaths. In my experience, it also includes the wiping out of significant professional experiences. I have evaluated dozens of patients whose professional and family lives have been wrecked, including a nurse who lost her career but who recently won malpractice suit against the doctor who referred her for shock. Her story is told on my website, www.breggin.com.
Even when these injured people can continue to function on a superficial social basis, they nonetheless suffer devastation of their identities due to the obliteration of key aspects of their personal lives. The loss of the ability to retain and learn new material is not only humiliating and depressing but also disabling. The slowing of mental reaction time is frustrating and disabling. Even when relatively subtle, these disabilities can disrupt routine activities of living. Individuals can no longer safely drive a car for fear of losing their concentration or becoming hopelessly lost. Others can no longer find their way around their own kitchen or remember to turn off the burner on the stove. Still others cannot retain what they have just read in a newspaper or seen on television. They commonly meet old friends and new acquaintances without having any idea who they are. Ultimately, the experience of "global" cognitive dysfunction impairs the victim's identify and sense of self, as well as ruining the overall quality of life.
This breaking scientific research has confirmed what I've been saying about shock treatment for thirty years. In 1979 I published Electroshock: Its Brain-Disabling Effects, the first medical book to evaluate the brain damaging and memory wrecking effects of this "treatment" for depression that requires inflicting a series of massive convulsions on the brain by means of passing a traumatic electric current through it. After many rejections, the courageous president of Springer Publishing Company, Ursula Springer, decided to publish this then controversial book. Dr. Springer told me about venomous attacks aimed at her at medical meetings as a result of her brave act in publishing my work. She never regretted it.
Given the vigor with which shock doctors have suppressed or denigrated my work, the study further surprised me by citing my 1986 scientific paper "Neuropathology and cognitive dysfunction from ECT" published in the Psychopharmacology Bulletin, noting that "critics contend that ECT invariably results in substantial and permanent memory loss." They contrast this critical view with "some authorities," specifically citing Max Fink and Robert Abrams, who have argued against the existence of any persistent shock effects on memory. The implication was clear that the critics were right and the so-called authorities were wrong. Sackeim was among those authorities.
Fink's "authoritative" testimony at a number of malpractice trials has enabled shock doctors to get off Scott free after damaging the brains of their patients. Abrams used to testify successfully on behalf of shock doctors until I disclosed his ownership of a shock machine manufacturing company.
Unfortunately, the Sackeim group did not cite the work of neurologist John Friedberg who risked his career to criticize electroshock treatment. Nor did their article give credit to the published work of psychiatric survivor Leonard Frank or the anti-shock reform activities of the survivor moment lead by David Oaks of MindFreedom. They also didn't cite Colin Ross's 2006 review and analysis showing that ECT is no more effective than sham ECT or simply sedating patients without shocking them.
Will the latest confirmation of ECT-induced brain damage cause shock doctors to cut back on their use of the treatment? Not likely. Psychiatrist and their affiliated neurosurgeons always knew that lobotomy was destroying the brains and mental life of their patients and that knowledge did not daunt them one bit. It required an organized international campaign to discredit, to slow down and to almost eliminate the surgical practice of psychiatric brain mutilation in the early 1970s (Breggin and Breggin 1994). The ECT lobby is much larger and stronger than the lobotomy lobby, and much better organized, with its own journal and shock advocates positioned in high places in medicine and psychiatry. Stopping shock treatment will require public outrage, organized resistance from survivor groups and psychiatric reformers, lawsuits, and state legislation.
This essay will appear in Dr. Breggin's column, "Politics, Practice and Breaking News," in a forthcoming issue of the journal Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, sponsored by the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (www.ICSPP.org).

Arcalife Nets Deal
Vancouver's Arcalife, and a British company, Firebird Media Ltd., have signed a deal which will bring the two companies closer together in archiving personal history on the Internet.
Arcalife will use Firebird Media's Memorybank to offer its customers a "people's archive", including sources of local history as well as their own personal history.
Arcalife CEO Paul Taylor says, "This is significant opportunity for both organizations. Many of our operational needs are similar and our services are complimentary, so it makes perfect sense".
I met Paul in Ottawa about a month ago while I was covering a meeting for the Canada 150 Project. At that time, he was busy getting his company out of the starting blocks in Canada, and was looking forward to a bright future.
It looks like he has struck his stride with this partnership.
