How Effective is the European Central Bank's Asset Purchasing Program?
We recently received a question from one of Alvexo's followers on Twitter, asking us how effective is ECB's Asset Purchasing Program.
To answer that, let us take a look back. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, has been facing headwinds in his attempts to jumpstart the economy of the European Union since the beginning of the year in the form of uncooperative regional governments that refuse to adopt policy and fiscal stimulus measures. Cutting interest rates to 0.05% in September 2014 has resulted in a low-trending Euro, thanks also to expectations of a rate hike, compliments of the US Federal Reserve. That, plus increased growth in Spain and France have provided Draghi with the required encouragement; however, there remain impediments to regional growth that compel more drastic monetary measures. Although it is too early to judge the long-term effectiveness of shifting policies, the near-term accomplishments are showing mixed results.
The first challenge to restoring growth the Eurozone has proven to be holders of regional sovereign debt. It has now been three months since the ECB launched its own unique form of quantitative easing, and some factors can now be evaluated. The ECB's mandate dictates a 2% inflation target to maintain maximum price stability without risking deflation. To achieve this level, the bank has prescribed a EUR 60 billion monthly purchase program of assets, starting in March 2015 and due to end in September 2016. To date, the sum of purchases is EUR 160 billion – 20 billion below target. The reason for the margin is the diminishing availability of bonds, primarily owing to the unwillingness of pensions and other large non-retail investors to sell sovereign debt.
Another hindrance has been austerity and convoluted rulings, which have prevented the ECB from executing the main bulk of its purchases earlier, rather than during the summer months, during which vacations reduce the availability of buyable assets. Moreover, the Maastricht Treaty itself imposes debt-to-GDP ratios that limit purchase goals, quite simply because governments are hesitant in taking loans – even with borrowing rates at record lows and falling. As a result, projects show that for the entire year, little over EUR 220 billion in bonds will be issued in 2015 – nowhere near the ECB's EUR 600 billion goal. Add to that that the ECB may not buy bonds under a -0.2% deposit rate, and that a large proportion of the zone's EUR 1.2 trillion in liabilities is trading at negative yields, and one realizes that the supply will continue to diminish in line with falling yields.
Without doubt, inflation and employment levels have been improving quite dramatically throughout the continent since the beginning of the QE program. Even lending has risen. But should these factors be attributed to Quantitative Easing? Inflation, for example, had begun to improve well before Draghi's program was set in motion, thanks to a Euro weakening due to external circumstances. In fact, increased employment, spending and trade may have been driven by the competitiveness of European exports and low prices. And since inflation is still far from the coveted 2% level, and short-term jumps may simply be momentary noise.
Employment, inflation, lending and growth should be judged over a longer term in order to truly assess the success of Draghi's deeds. Unfortunately, low-to-negative interest rates have rarely encouraged investment.
Preliminary signs are indeed positive, and if inflation and lending continue to improve, the region may experience real growth. The alternative is banks funneling cash towards equities rather than encouraging low-rate loans, thereby quashing the potential benefits of loose monetary policies.

Witness Episodes
Grandma, A Thousand Times
The story of a feisty and sharp-witted Beirut matriarch as she contemplates the last stage of her life.
Witness 01 May 2013 13:14 GMT Arts & Culture, US & Canada, Canada, Lebanon, UAE
Filmmaker: Mahmoud Kaabour
Old age and a sense of life's ending cannot dampen the spirits of a feisty Beirut matriarch in this magical film about family, love and aging.
Fatima or Teta (grandmother) Kaabour is an 83-year-old family matriarch and sharp-witted queen bee of an old Beiruti quarter. She has been gripped as of late by the silence of her once-buzzing household where she raised children and grandchildren. Resigned to argileh smoking and day-long coffee drinking on a now empty balcony, Teta invokes the deepest memories of her violinist husband who died 20 years ago. She claims a preparedness to re-unite with him.
Filmmaker Mahmoud Kaabour, Teta's favourite grandson and the bearer of his grandfather's full name, has also been preoccupied for years with the memory of his grandfather. Prior to his death, the violinist had audio taped heart-wrenching violin improvisations in the privacy of his room in that same flat.
The filmmaker's anguish is compounded at the thought that this personal and cultural heritage, as well as his grandma's own stories, rare recipes and naughty humour, will go with her when she parts this life.
This award-winning film brings together grandfather, grandmother and grandson in a documentary that aims to defy a past death and a future one. It documents with great intimacy the larger-than-life character of Teta Kaabour, her telling of the trials of her violinist husband and his Beirut, as well as her imaginings of what awaits her beyond death.
Q&A with the filmmaker
Does Teta Fatima have any regrets?
Illiteracy is among the few regrets that a tough woman like grandma would admit to, other than grandpa's death of course.
As she approaches her ninth decade, that dull sense of sorrow over her loss has been interestingly transforming into a yearning, almost like a teen passion getting rekindled. While Teta reminisces about her deceased violinist and re-tells his stories in the film, she sometimes addresses him passionately in the future tense, implying a conviction that she will re-unite with him in death. It is poignant and heart-wrenching at the same time, especially for her adoring family who wish her a long life.
What significant changes has she witnessed in her neighbourhood over the years?
Over the past 40 years, grandma has witnessed the rupture of the extended family unit in Beirut. The Lebanese civil war and globalisation in a broad sense pushed the sons and daughters of all her neighbours to seek better lives in other countries.
My parents were among those who left; that is how my sisters and I were raised in Dubai with a deep sense of longing for Beirut. Grandma's neighbourhood, which boasted bustling households of multiple generations, has now become a place where the elderly wallow in loneliness.
But with that came unique social bonds. Those aging grandparents watched over each other and bonded from balconies where they resigned themselves to senility and reduced mobility. I am often amused by how grandma can name the families of every apartment visible from her favourite spot on her balcony. After stating the family name, she usually recounts the name of the sons and daughters, their own children and what country they migrated to and when.
How does the family remember the civil war?
The civil war translated into a delightful captivity in her house for us, her grandchildren. We often hid there when schools in Beirut shut down. She cooked for everybody, put little ones to sleep, and meshed every child's upbringing with her raw humour. That is how her house became a significant place which everyone gravitated to after years of living abroad. My cousins and I are often referring to her place rather than our parents' when we say "home".
What are your fondest memories of growing up with Teta?
The street life around her flat and our relation to it still lives with me. Growing up in Hamad neighbourhood in the 1980s, one had to interact with a buzzing pedestrian atmosphere that was tense due to scarce resources. I picked up haggling at a young age as I was entrusted with buying produce from the street vendors. I also remember clouds of flour and loud chatter at bakeries where I had to line up and buy bread for family whenever there was a ceasefire.
The many alleys that connected my parent's home to grandma's are my favourite perhaps. When I migrated to Canada for seven years, I tried to walk a different alley to her house in my mind as I tried to sleep each night. By year seven, I could no longer remember the shops that stood at a certain turn. That was part of why I packed up and left Canada.
What is the most vivid memory you have of your grandparents?
The smell of orange peel. Grandma used to sit on her Ajami rugs and sit her grandchildren around her in winter. She used to peel oranges and feed each of us as it poured outside. That's childhood in a snapshot for me.
Are there any plans to publish your Grandpa Mahmoud's violin impressions?
"The Music of Mahmoud Kaabour Al-Rasheedi as featured in Grandma, a Thousand Times" was released last year. The seven improvisations that haunted me for years and were the impetus for this film are now available on iTunes, Amazon and in stores in Lebanon and the UAE. It feels like a load off my shoulders and an invitation for new obsessions.

José Salomé Pina (1830 – 1909) was a Mexican painter. Together with Santiago Rebull Gordillo and José María Velasco Gómez, he was one of the most famous 19th-century Mexican artists. He was schooled in the arts at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City by Pelegrí Clavé i Roqué, an accomplished Spanish painter from Barcelona who was associated with the Nazarene movement.
His activities as a painter became well known after 1852 when he painted the Agar e Ismael at the age of 22. A year later he gained more renown when he produced Sansón y Dalila (1853). In 1854, he competed for a pension in Rome, which he won with his painting San Carlos Borromeo (pictured above right). Later, in 1856, he was awarded a grant to study in Paris, joining the studio of Charles Gleyre where he painted two works: Abraham and Isaac and Dante and Virgil. Both of these paintings from 1856, were sent by Pina to be displayed at the Academy of San Carlos, though today they are on display at the MUNAL in Mexico City. In 1859, Salomé Pina exhibitioned his painting La Piedad (La Virgen de la Piedad) for which he received an honorable mention. After some time in Paris, Pina moved back to Rome in 1860 to complete his study of the classics under the tutelage of Consoni and Gariot. In 1865, he was commissioned to make a painting commemorating the visit to Rome of Archduke Maximilian on a trip to see Pope Pius IX. Salomé Pina was unable to finish this work, though there are sketches of the painting on display at the Museo Nacional de Historia. These sketches support the theory that Salomé Pina conducted his work from photographs. In 1869, Salomé Pina became a professor at the Academy of San Carlos.
Salomé Pina died in 1909. At the time of his death, his works had largely become unpopular with his students as the contemporary Mexican art had trended away from religious art. Both Germán Gedovius and Diego Rivera studied under Salomé Pina. In the modern day, he is remembered as an important art figure in Mexican history. His most famous works are Sansón y Dalila and San Carlos Borromeo en la peste de Roma.

With the rainy season comes the increased risk of illnesses such as bacterial and viral infections. These are some tips that you can give to your kids.
Always bring an umbrella and a raincoat.
An umbrella protects them from weather, rain or shine. A raincoat will keep them warm and dry.
Remember to keep good hygiene.
Teach them about viruses and bacteria and how these are transmitted. Remind them to regularly wash their hands, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom.
Always provide your child with a medical grade face mask to block viruses. Remind them to wear this especially around crowded places.
Playing in puddles is something that might be tempting to a child. However, remind them that floods may carry bacteria that can make them ill. Provide your child with rain boots as well, since these are essential for a rainy day kind of weather.
Keep distance and avoid contact with sick people.
Teach your kids about how diseases are transmitted. Remind them to cover their mouth and nose with a handkerchief if a mask is not available and tell them to also avoid physical contact with sick people.


Many home cooks have a love-hate relationship with food preparation. While it's a fun part of the culinary experience, it can be time-consuming, tedious, and not to mention dangerous when it comes to the chopping! That's especially no fun when the onions are making your eyes well up with tears and your fingers are on fire from handling jalapeno peppers. Why can't making a pico de gallo be more enjoyable?
What if we told you there was a simple solution to make chopping up vegetables and fruit easier, faster, and more enjoyable? With a vegetable and fruit chopper, food prep is simplified significantly. There are a ton of benefits to gain with one of these tools and you'll find out more about them as you read on.
Now that you have a better understanding of what to consider when choosing a vegetable and fruit chopper, it's time to go over some great options to choose from. We've hand-picked 12 different choppers featuring different mechanisms, both manual and electric, that would be totally awesome additions to any kitchen. We're going to review these choppers and list off the pros and cons to help you narrow down your options.
Keep in mind, we've listed these in no particular order. The best chopper for you might be different than the best chopper for your neighbor! It all depends on personal preference and what you need to use the chopper for.
You get to make recipes from the e-books provided – free of cost!
The best thing about this chopper has to be the lifetime warranty, so if anything happens to your chopper, you can get the help you need.
The safety glove is a great add-on to keep your hand safe from injury.
Being able to choose from 7 types of blades allows for you to choose the right type of chop for any kind of situation.
Why Should I Buy a Vegetable and Fruit Chopper?
When it comes to the kitchen equipment, we've seen many great inventions establish their well-deserved place in the crew. Among hand mixers, blenders, slow cookers, and all other kitchen tools and appliances you may have, vegetable and fruit choppers also deserve a special place in your kitchen.
A vegetable and fruit chopper is the kind of tool that'll be used frequently, especially if you eat and make most of your meals at home. Chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing are a necessity in meal preparations. Since we usually use knives to perform these tasks, it leaves us vulnerable to injuries on our hands and wrists, not to mention the fact that it's a lot slower this way. With one of these handy chopping tools, you can avoid kitchen accidents and save time.
You get to save time since chopping, slicing, and dicing can get done faster.
Veggie and fruit chopping machines are safer to use since you don't need to cut the food with a hand-held knife.
Avoid eye and hand irritation from foods like onions, chili peppers, garlic, citrus, etc.
There are a wide variety of choppers available, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
When they are old enough (also depending on the vegetable chopper), your kid(s) can use it to help you with food preparation. Of course, this would need to be done under your supervision.
It can help incentivize you to include a wider variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
You can use a vegetable and fruit chopper for other foods like nuts, herbs, and even candy.
It's also a pretty fun tool to use once you get the hang of it!
Stainless steel blades to prevent rusting and corrosion.
Durable plastic material that is BPA and toxin free.
The most important thing to keep in mind is safety, especially if you plan on using the chopper with your child during meal preps. Supervision is absolutely necessary 100% of the time when using them with children. Blades on these tools are made to be extremely sharp so they can get through tough veggies like potatoes and carrots. You always want to make sure that your chopper comes with non-slip grips and guards for hands & fingers as well.
Choosing between a manual or electric veggie chopper will depend on your personal preference.
The benefit of manual choppers is that they don't require electricity. This makes them more portable for use outdoors and when traveling. Manual choppers are also easier to clean since you don't need to worry about electrical components getting wet. They're also quiet in comparison to electric choppers.
Electric choppers, or food processors, are quicker and can typically chop more food as well as different types of food simultaneously. The downside is that you need to be careful not to get the electrical components wet and it can be a bit noisy. Nonetheless, food processors are extremely convenient and easy to use compared to chopping with a knife.
Pressing mechanism – many manual choppers feature a pressing mechanism where you press a lid down onto the veggie or fruit to chop it, then the container beneath catches the food for convenience. These choppers feature removable and multiple blade types to choose from for versatility. An example of this is the Lovkitchen vegetable chopper.
Pull cord or handle mechanism – other types of manual choppers may feature a manual pull cord or handle to spin blades in a bowl-like container. This is a safe option that keeps hands away from blades. A pull-chord mechanism example on our list would be the Chef'n VeggiChop, while a turn-handle is featured on the Momugs 8 Cup food processor.
Push-chop mechanism – the manual push-chop mechanism is another one you'll find. You can place the fruits or veggies on a cutting board or chopping area, place the chopper over them, then push on the top to move the chopper up & down. This fun mechanism results in chopped fruits or veggies. The Zyliss Zick-Zack is an example of this chopping mechanism type.
Rotary electrical mechanism – electric food processors all have the same general design and mechanism. They feature a blender-like set up where you place the fruits or veggies inside, then you press a button to turn it on and chop the food to your liking. Some food processors feature more settings and different blade types to suit your needs.
Now that we've shared with you, in our opinion, the best vegetable and fruit choppers on the market, which one do you like the most? We made sure to include a variety of styles and chopping mechanisms so you can get a taste for what's available. Make sure to consider what you're going to be using your chopper for so you don't end up getting a decked out chopper with add-ons you won't even be using!
As far as choosing one particular vegetable chopper model, we can't really recommend one fit-all product, seeing how they differ a lot in their usage and functionality. For example, a recommendation of a press mechanism slicer might not be useful if they want a rotary-mechanism vegetable chopper. With that said, all the products on our list are reliable and are one of, if not the best vegetable choppers of their respective type.
We really hope you found our guide and reviews useful in making your decision. Like we said, it's a decision that you need to think about since this tool is going to be your new partner in crime. Hopefully, your chef knife doesn't have hard feelings about it, but that'll have to be taken care of on your own terms!

Sometime soon we'll be heading down to the Silver Ball Museum in Asbury Park, N.J., which I just learned has an incredible collection of vintage pinball machines — including Jungle King (!), which devoured untold numbers of my precious quarters and God knows how many hours I should have spent studying at the small university I attended in western New York state.
Best of all, the museum isn't really a museum! It's open to the public. For an all-day admission fee of $20, pinball wizards such as myself get to play all day on machines, including the circa-1973 Jungle King!
During the somewhat hazy years I spent barely toiling in the fields of academe, my kingdom was the world of Jungle King. And I was the king of Jungle King.
Yes, indeed, the skills and thrills of Jungle King revolved around learning the tricks and moves necessary to win extra balls and extra games. I became remarkably adept, after investing many quarters in my Jungle King education and field training, at "catching" the silver balls with the flippers, waiting for the rollovers and targets to light up, and then unleashing a machine-gun-like barrage of pinballs at the free-ball and bonus score targets.
I got to the point where I could make one quarter and one game last for hours. Literally. Free ball after ball. Free game after free game. Setting the "New High Score" and then shattering my own world record (or at least the high-score record for the machine in the college student center).
It is beyond dispute that I was the true king of Jungle King. I hereby decree and proclaim to my faithful subjects that sometime in the next few weeks I shall be traveling with the royal entourage to the Shores of Jersey to reclaim my pinball crown and, yes, to take back my rightful kingdom.
Pretenders to the crown, you have been warned.

text: Q: Reducibility of Cyclotomic polynomials over integers Cyclotomic Polynomials $\Phi_n(x)$ are irreducible themselves, but when restricted to certain integers (in terms of $x$), may be reducible. The most obvious case is when $x$ is a perfect power (simple algebraic factorizations exist). Another example, $\Phi_6(3x^2)$ = $(3x^2-3x+1)(3x^2+3x+1)$, but $3x^2$ is not a perfect power itself (in general, for all $x$). Another example is $\Phi_5(x^3+x^2+2x)=(x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1)(x^8 + 2x^7 + 6x^6 + 6x^5 + 9x^4 + 3x^3 + 4x^2 - x + 1)$. Question is, suppose $p(x)$ is a polynomial defining a field $K$. If the $n$-th cyclotomic field and $K$ are isomorphic, is there a reducible cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n(q(x))$ which contains $p(x)$ as a factor? For example, the fields defined by $\Phi_3(x) = x^2+x+1$ and $p(x) = x^2+x+7$ are isomorphic, so there should exist a polynomial $q(x)$ such that $x^2+x+7$ divides $\Phi_3(q(x))$. How to find $q(x)$ (in any given case) I am unsure.

Quite a number of our clients over the years have called Beverly home. All of them contacted us for the same reason – they suffered personal injury through the misconduct of someone else. Of course, that kind of injury gives you a legal claim for damages under Illinois personal injury law. Having a claim, however, is useless if you don't know how much it's worth or how to enforce it. Hiring knowledgeable, proven Beverly Personal Injury Lawyers is a smart first step.
If you don't understand the value of your claim, you can be certain that the opposing party (typically an insurance company) will take advantage of your lack of knowledge. You might be offered a lowball settlement before you even get out of the hospital, or they may try to unfairly blame the accident on you. We won't let them get away with it.
Beverly could be called the "roof of Chicago" because it is located right in the middle of the Blue Island Ridge. Many of us are frequent visitors. You might run into one of us shopping along 103rd Street, for example, or attending the South Side Irish Parade. When we get back to work, however, more serious issues await.
Can I recover for a truck accident even if my seatbelt was unbuckled at the time of the accident?
Yes. In Illinois, a defendant is not allowed to argue that you wouldn't have been injured if you had been wearing a seatbelt. This is true even though Illinois law requires everyone to wear a seatbelt on public roads.
What is a family exclusion?
A family exclusion is a paragraph that is included in many auto insurance policies. If you suffer an auto accident injury that was caused by a family member, and your family member's auto liability insurance contains a family exclusion clause, you cannot file a claim against your family member's auto liability insurance for the injury.
What kind of damages can I claim?
Does my claim qualify for punitive damages?
At Malman Law, we can negotiate with the other side on your behalf (although we will never finalize a settlement without your consent). We may need to file a lawsuit to pressure the other side into issuing a decent settlement offer, and in about five percent of cases we may need to go all the way to trial. Either way, we've got your back and we will guide you through the process.
Malman Law has been fighting for injured victims since 1994. In that time we have served over 20,000 clients and collected over $200,000,000 in compensation. We settle 95% of our cases, usually at the settlement table, but sometimes in court. We are so sure of our ability to win that we offer our Zero Fee Guarantee – if you don't win, you pay us nothing.
Call our Beverly personal injury lawyers today, anytime 24/7, at 1-888-836-5975, or fill out our online form, for a free case consultation. We realize that you may not be mobile. Don't worry about that – if you can't come to us, we'll come to you.

Experience it. In Your Own Damn Way.
, confessions
I had the weirdest thing happen on Tuesday….
I was working away on my computer and out of the clear blue sky, around 2:30 or so, I suddenly felt the need to go up to my altar and hold some space for George Floyd, his family, and everyone involved in the trial, to receive and deliver justice. I lit some Palo Santo and threw a black tourmaline rock up there to set the mood of cleansing the shit right out, and set up a Justice tarot card to look at. I wasn't there long, but it felt good to do SOMETHING with the antsy energy I was feeling.
Then, about an hour later, they announced that the verdict had been reached. !!!!
Now I'll be the first to say that I did not have anything to do with that verdict in any way shape or form, but I find it so interesting that I suddenly felt that urge at what may have been right around the time the jury was handing its results over to the judge. Coincidence? More than likely. But it's still cool to wonder about.
Here's me saying that I hesitate to admit any of this to you guys; that I have an altar, that I have certain crystals or stones that I put around me depending on what I'm feeling or what I want to feel for myself, or for others. This is that pragmatic part of me that still rolls her eyes at this shit–and if I'm thinking I'm kind of weird, I know others certainly are!
But I'm trying to practice what I preach to others: I'm gonna do Me, and since what I do is done with good intent, I'm not going to feel that's somehow it's wrong.
We all feel so out of control over what happens around us…because guess what, we ARE. And whatever we can do to feel like we are somehow able to connect to what we want to feel is important.
Some would call what I do is a form of prayer, and I suppose it is. I just don't send it up to a dude in the sky, but all around to people, places and things that I feel could use some loving attention.
Whatever form of intention you want to share, go for it. It certainly can't hurt. And it's important to feel involved. I say involved verses having any kind of control, because we can't have that.
We will never have control, and the quicker we can come to terms with that, the easier life will be on us.
We need to flow along with it, the good shit and the bad, and do whatever we can possibly do to make ourselves feel as peaceful and intentional as we can throughout our experiences.
We need to experience. In our own ways. Without apology.
So this week, Experience.
Feel the wonderful energy knowing that a huge group of us finally feel they have been seen and heard; more than likely for the first time in their lives.
That there CAN be accountability.
That this is a small step, and that there will be never-ending work to do to keep it going.
That there will still be people out there that will never understand why that's important, why it's something that should have been something all along.
That we can keep loving, praying, sending out energy, holding our talismans, crying, singing, dancing, whatever-the-hell-we-do, and holding out our hands, creating a safe space for us and for others to feel what we feel.
What is your practice when you feel like you just need to experience something?

text:
Une ressource minérale est une concentration de matériau présent naturellement, sous forme, solide, liquide ou gazeuse, dans la croûte terrestre, sous une forme et une quantité telles que son extraction à des fins économiques est effectivement ou potentiellement faisable. Ces ressources sont simplement évaluées et ne sont pas toutes découvertes.

Les réserves minérales prouvées sont une partie des ressources à la fois repérées géologiquement et susceptibles d'être exploitées dans des conditions techniques et économiques rentables. Les réserves minérales non prouvées ne sont pas géologiquement connues.

L'évaluation de la quantité d'une ressource dans une zone donnée dépend de nombreux paramètres du gisement, dont la localisation, la profondeur, la taille, la configuration, la nature minérale, la qualité, la densité, les caractéristiques géologiques, la proximité de ressources voisines. Pour le pétrole, la porosité de la roche, la viscosité la pression et la température entrent également en jeu.

Types de ressources

La ressource désigne la quantité totale d'un minerai existant dans une zone donnée, sans considération des possibilités d'exploitation présentes ou futures. On appelle ressource initiale la quantité de ressource avant sa production. Selon la connaissance que l'on a d'une ressource, il est possible de la classifier plus précisément :

Ressource identifiée : ressource dont la localisation, la typologie, la qualité et la quantité sont connus grâce à des preuves géologiques précises. Les ressources identifiées peuvent être rentables, marginalement rentable ou non rentables. Pour exprimer le niveau de certitude géologique, ces ressources peuvent être qualifiées de mesurées, indiquées, démontrées ou présumées :
Mesurée : la quantité est déterminée à partir de mesures obtenues à partir d'affleurements, de tranchées, de fouilles ou de trous de forage. La typologie et la qualité sont calculées à partir des résultats d'échantillonnages détaillés. Les sites d'inspection, échantillonnages et mesures sont suffisamment rapprochés et les caractéristiques géologiques sont suffisamment bien définies pour que la taille, la forme, la profondeur et la nature minérale de la ressource soient bien établis.
Indiquée : La quantité, la typologie et la qualité sont calculés à partir d'informations semblables aux ressources mesurées, mais les sites d'inspection, d'échantillonnage et de mesure sont plus espacés ou de manière moins adéquate. Le niveau de certitude, bien que plus faible que pour les ressources mesurées, est suffisamment élevé pour supposer la continuité entre les points d'observation.
Démontrée : terme englobant les ressources mesurées et les ressources indiquées.
Présumée : les estimations sont basées sur une continuité supposée plus importante que pour les ressources mesurées ou indiqués, pour lesquelles il existe des preuves géologiques. Les ressources présumées ne sont pas nécessairement confirmées par des échantillons ou des mesures.
Ressource non rentable : partie d'une ressource identifiée qui ne répond pas aux critères des réserves et réserves marginales.
Ressource non découverte : ressource dont l'existence est seulement postulée, y compris les gisements séparés des ressources identifiées. Les ressources non découvertes peuvent être postulées en gisements d'une typologie, et d'une localisation tels qu'ils puisse être rentables, marginalement rentables ou non rentables. Pour exprimer des différents degrés d'incertitude géologique, elles peuvent être divisées en deux parties :
Ressource hypothétique : ressources non découvertes similaires aux minéraux connus, et dont on peut raisonnablement s'attendre à exister dans le même territoire de production dans des conditions géologiques analogues. Si l'exploration confirme leur existence et révèle suffisamment d'information à propos de leur qualité, typologie et quantité, elles seront reclassifiées en ressources identifiées.
Ressource spéculative : ressources non découvertes qui peuvent se présenter soit dans des types de gisements connu, dans des conditions géologiques favorables où aucune découverte minérale n'a été faite, soit dans des types de gisements qui n'ont pas encore été reconnus pour leurs potentiels économiques. Si l'exploration confirme leur existence et révèle suffisamment d'information à propos de leur qualité, typologie et quantité, elles seront reclassifiées en ressources identifiées.

Il existe une autre manière de classer les ressources, notamment dans l'industrie pétrolière, toujours selon le degré de connaissance dont on dispose :
 Ressource prouvée ou ressource 1P : ressource dont l'existence a été physiquement prouvées, ou avec une probabilité supérieure à 90 %. Elle correspond généralement à une estimation basse des ressources. Si, dans les conditions économiques et techniques actuelles, l'exploitation d'une ressource prouvée est rentable, on parle alors de « réserve prouvée » ou « réserve 1P ».
Ressource prouvée et probable ou ressource 2P : ressource dont l'existence sous terre est considéré comme probable, avec une probabilité supérieure à 50 %. Si, dans les conditions économiques et techniques actuelles, l'exploitation d'une ressource prouvée est rentable, on parle alors de « réserve prouvée et probable » ou « réserve 2P ».
Ressource prouvée, probable et possible ou ressource 3P : ressource dont l'existence sous terre est considéré comme probable, avec une probabilité supérieure à 10 %. Si, dans les conditions économiques et techniques actuelles, l'exploitation d'une ressource prouvée est rentable, on parle alors de « réserve prouvée, probable et possible » ou « réserve 3P ».

Types de réserves

Les réserves sont des ressources ayant la particularité d'être découvertes, techniquement et économiquement récupérables. Les estimations de la quantité de minerai disponible dans une réserve sont subjectives et temporelles par nature. Elles sont périodiquement réévaluées en fonction de la production passée, de l'amélioration des techniques, des conditions économiques, des connaissances géologiques, etc. Malgré cette subjectivité, elles peuvent être classées de manière similaires aux ressources :

Réserve base : partie d'une ressource identifiée qui respecte des critères chimiques et physiques minimaux pour une exploitation et une production selon les pratiques actuelles. La réserve base est la ressource démontrée sur place à partir de laquelle sont estimées les réserves. Elle peut englober la part des ressources qui ont une possibilité raisonnable de devenir économiquement disponibles dans un horizon de prévision plus large que celles qui exigent des technologies établies et des conditions économiques actuelles. La réserve base inclut les ressources rentables (réserves), marginalement rentables et une partie de celles qui sont aujourd'hui non rentables. Le terme réserve géologique est parfois employé comme équivalent, mais ce dernier inclut parfois aussi les ressources présumées.

Réserve : partie de la réserve base qui pourrait être économiquement extraite ou produite à la date actuelle. Ce terme ne signifie pas nécessairement que des usines soient construites et opérationnelles. Les réserves incluent uniquement des matériaux récupérables ; en conséquence, avec cette définition, des termes tels que "réserve extractible" et "réserve récupérable" sont redondants.

Réserve base présumée : la part locale d'une ressource identifiée à partir de laquelle les réserves présumées sont estimées. Les estimations quantitatives sont basées en grande partie sur la connaissance des caractères géologiques d'un gisement pour lequel il peut n'y avoir aucun échantillon ou mesure. Ces estimations sont basées sur l'hypothèse d'une continuité au-delà de la réserve base, pour laquelle il existe une preuve géologique.

Réserve marginale : partie de la réserve qui, à la date actuelle, est à la limite d'une production rentable. Sa caractéristique principale est l'incertitude économique. Cela inclut les ressources dont la production pourrait devenir rentable si l'on suppose des variations économiques ou technologiques.

Un classement analogue à celui des ressources est aussi pratiqué :
 Réserve prouvée ou réserve 1P : réserve dont l'existence a été physiquement prouvées, ou avec une probabilité supérieure à 90 %. Il s'agit d'une ressource 1P dont l'exploitation est jugée rentable dans les conditions économiques et techniques actuelles. Elle correspond généralement à une estimation basse de ce qui pourra être extrait.

Réserve prouvée et probable ou réserve 2P : réserve dont l'existence sous terre est considéré comme probable, avec une probabilité supérieure à 50 %.
Il s'agit d'une ressource 2P dont l'exploitation est jugée rentable dans les conditions économiques et techniques actuelles. Cette quantité, correspondant à l'espérance mathématique de minerai exploitable, est considérée comme l'estimation la plus juste a priori de ce qu'un gisement peut produire, la « réserve ultime ». C'est souvent la principale information publiée à propos des gisements découverts. Pendant l'exploitation d'un gisement, l'estimation de la réserve 1P est supposée tendre vers celle de la réserve 2P.

Réserve prouvée, probable et possible ou réserve 3P : réserve dont l'existence sous terre est seulement considéré comme possible, avec une probabilité supérieure à 10 %. Il s'agit d'une ressource 3P dont l'exploitation est jugée rentable dans les conditions économiques et techniques actuelles. Il s'agit de l'estimation la plus optimiste de ce qu'un gisment peut produire.

Durée d'exploitation

Il est courant d'estimer la capacité de production d'un gisement en années d'exploitation, en calculant le rapport des réserves prouvées sur la production annuelle à une date donnée. Cette estimation est souvent traduite littéralement en années de consommation restantes, en supposant que ni la production, ni les connaissances géologiques du gisement n'évolueront. Ce raccourci est susceptible d'amener à des biais cognitifs pour plusieurs raisons :
Les techniques d'exploitation sont susceptibles de s'améliorer ;
Les connaissances géologiques du gisement sont également susceptible de s'affiner ;
La plupart des productions minières ont tendance à croître pour répondre à la croissance économique ;
Certaines réserves déclarées sont l'objet d'enjeux économiques et varient ainsi davantage selon les positionnements politiques que selon les connaissances scientifiques. C'est en particulier le cas du pétrole;
Plus le gisement s'épuise, plus la production annuelle diminue et plus le coût de production augmente. D'une part, cette variation modifie les conditions économiques dans lesquelles ont été faites les estimations. D'autre part, l'augmentation du prix de la matière première peut favoriser un effet de rareté avant que le gisement ne commence à être épuisé.
Contrairement à, par exemple, un réservoir d'essence, l'évolution de la production d'une matière première suit plutôt un pic de Hubbert, c'est-à-dire une courbe en cloche.
Certaines ressources minérales sont essentiellement des sous-produits ou des coproduits d'autres ressources. L'évolution de leur production future est en conséquence beaucoup plus complexe à prévoir. C'est par exemple le cas du Cobalt, du Sélénium, du Tellure, de l'Indium, du Cadmium, du Germanium, du Thallium, de l'Antimoine, du Bismuth ou du Gallium.

Taux de récupération

Au terme de l'exploitation d'un gisement, on parle de réserve ultime pour estimer a posteriori la quantité de minerai qui y était exploitable. Le minerai restant n'est ainsi pas jugé exploitable dans les conditions techniques et économiques établies. Au cours de l'exploitation d'un gisement, l'estimation de la réserve 2P est supposée tendre vers la valeur de la réserve ultime.

Le taux de récupération désigne le rapport entre la quantité de minerai estimé présent dans le gisement au début de l'exploitation, et la quantité qu'il sera possible d'extraire du début à la fin de l'exploitation.

Q: how to catch exceptions in eventmachine I'm using eventmachine 1.0.0 with ruby 1.9.3. Now when an exception occurs it's silently ignored. The reactor continues to run, nothing is output. Of course I don't have any custom  rescue commands which catch the exception.
This is how I start my reactor. But my error_handler never gets called... :-(
  EventMachine::run do
    EventMachine.error_handler do |e|
      $stderr.puts "Exception during event: #{e.message} (#{e.class})"
      $stderr.puts (e.backtrace || [])[0..10].join("\n")
    end

    puts "Starting ftp server on port 21"
    EventMachine::start_server("0.0.0.0", 21, self)
  end

A: Take a look at this thread on error_handler use. The event loop terminates if an exception comes through your code. That could be the reason why error_handler` is not being called. It is mainly for communicating C-level errors to Ruby.

Listing some of the Best cryptocurrency wallets of 2018.
Cryptocurrency space is highly vulnerable to attacks by the hackers. Specifically, the centralized cryptocurrency exchanges where the users use that to trade their cryptocurrencies is the main point of interest for the hackers as the amount is readily made available for them. A number of incidents have been witnessed in the past, for instance, MtGox and Coincheck hack are two of the most prominent hacks of all time that the Crypto domain has experienced. Let look at the best cryptocurrency wallet list of 2018.
Therefore it is highly recommended that the user transfer their cryptocurrency funds through their exchange's account to a safe wallet. Specifically, the hardware wallets are preferred over the web-based wallet as the user would gain total control of his or her funds. Below is a list of some of the most predominant and best cryptocurrency wallet that one can opt for, in order to secure their cryptocurrencies.
The multi cryptocurrency Wallet is highly secure in nature as it provides high levels of anonymity. The cryptocurrency wallet is completely decentralized in nature and available for the operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux OS. It is one of the best cryptocurrency wallets as it uses the world's first distributed form of Technology, BitTorrent for its distributed order book services. In order to become the cross-chain custody free, the cryptocurrency wallet inherently adopts the atomic swap Technology as the name suggest.
An instant exchange option is also made available to the customers of the best cryptocurrency wallet through Changelly and ShapeShift. It is one of the best custody free solutions as the users absolutely need not worry about the security and reliability of the cryptocurrency wallet. The multi cryptocurrency wallet supports more than 300 varieties of cryptocurrency and most importantly any form of ERC 20 tokens can also be stored effectively within the cryptocurrency wallet. The peer to peer order book based on the Bittorrent technology is executed by powering it with the Blockchain Technology.
Citowise, The second best cryptocurrency wallet provides high levels of anonymity but the process of validation is centralized in nature unlike the first one, which was absolutely decentralized. The global access to the cryptocurrencies is made available through the multi cryptocurrency wallet for both the business as well as the private investors. The user interface provided by the second best cryptocurrency wallet is very simple and requires no technical knowledge and also the process of trading is made easier with the integration of the wallet with various Crypto exchanges.
Infinito, The third one of the best cryptocurrency wallet provides medium levels of anonymity and interestingly is open source in nature. The multi cryptocurrency wallet supports a huge spectrum of Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Ethereum, Ripple, Dogecoin, etc and the list doesn't end there, as it even supports various protocol based tokens like ETH ERC20 and NEO NEP-5 and further features are to be added very soon.
The fourth best cryptocurrency wallet supports multiple forms of cryptocurrencies and provides high levels of anonymity to its users. It also provides a cross chain platform to its customers. The cryptocurrency wallet strives to open gateways for the usage of cryptocurrencies, in other words, it strives to democratize its usage among the public masses. The cryptocurrency wallet is one of the best one in the market, but it doesn't seem to have options for two-factor authentication. The Crypto wallet is also not released as an open source. However using some of the best cryptocurrency Wallets, the users gain complete control of their funds.
Enjin; one of the best cryptocurrency wallet uses a centralized methodology in order to validate the transactions and interestingly it provides high levels of anonymity to secure all its transactions from the illicit activities. Specifically, the cryptocurrency wallet is a mobile-based application which effectively converts your mobile phone into a hardware wallet. The cryptocurrency wallet is extremely simple to use and highly secure, as it incorporates a special keyboard in order to develop a sense of trust and reliability among its customers.
Therefore, these are the some of the best cryptocurrency wallets that one can choose to rely upon in order to safeguard their interest from the outsiders.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A North Carolina man who police say had 16 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle no longer faces drug charges in Maryland, where Baltimore's top prosecutor has said she won't prosecute anyone for possessing cannabis.
Defense attorney Tony Garcia tells news outlets that charges were dropped Thursday against 30-year-old Dwight Chinyee of Winston-Salem.
Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced in January that her office would end prosecutions on charges of possessing cannabis, regardless of the quantity or the person's criminal history.
Mosby said recently that those arrested were being released quickly. However, Garcia says Chinyee was held without bail since his arrest Feb. 5.
State's attorney spokeswoman Melba Saunders says prosecutors first thought the case involved distribution of marijuana. However, she says prosecutors decided it was a possession case.

I am pitching Mortified, a live show where, if I am accepted and choose to go forward with this, I will be reading pages from my late high school diary that clearly illustrate my sexual confusion and why I was such a late bloomer.
It was interesting to have this reflected back to me by Kevin, one of the event organizers, based on my first submission: "I'm especially intrigued by the idea of fancy poetry about adolescent sexual frustration, though I have to say the samples you've attached seem almost too sophisticated to be mortifying."
Today back to the time you saw me first.
Before your eyes, I've stumbled from the rule.
My mind and lips slip when I talk to thee.
But you must know—I am much more than that.
Because I hold such deep respect for you.
So I may see the softness in your mind.

Safeguarding is defined as
Protecting learners from maltreatment;
Preventing impairment of learners' health or development;
Ensuring that learners are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and

Choice Training is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its learners. We believe that:
All learners have the right to be protected from harm;
Learners need to be safe and to feel safe at Choice Training
Learners need support which matches their individual needs, including those who may have experienced abuse;
All learners must be encouraged to respect each other's values and support each other;
All learners have the right to be supported to meet their emotional, and social needs as well as their educational needs – a happy healthy sociable child will achieve better educationally;
All staff and visitors have an important role to play in safeguarding learners and protecting them from abuse.
Choice Training will fulfil their local and national responsibilities as laid out in the following documents:-
Keeping Children Safe in Education: Statutory guidance for schools and Centres (DfE March 2015)
The Education Act 2002
Overall Aims
This policy will contribute to safeguarding our learners and promoting their welfare by:
Clarifying standards of behaviour for staff and learners;
Contributing to the establishment of a safe, resilient and robust ethos in the Centre, built on mutual respect, and shared values
Introducing appropriate work within the curriculum;
Alerting staff to the signs and indicators that all might not be well;
Developing staff awareness of the causes of abuse;
Developing staff awareness of the risks and vulnerabilities learners face;
Addressing concerns at the earliest possible stage; and
Reducing the potential risks learners face of being exposed to violence, extremism, exploitation, or victimisation
This policy will contribute to supporting our learners by:
Identifying and protecting the most vulnerable
Identifying individual needs where possible; and
Designing plans to meet those needs.
This policy will contribute to the protection of our learners by:
Including appropriate work within the curriculum;
Implementing child protection policies and procedures; and
Working in partnership with learners, parents and agencies.
All staff including supply will:
Be familiar with this safeguarding policy;
Be subject to Safer Recruitment processes and checks, whether they are new staff, supply staff, contractors, volunteers etc.
Where appropriate, be involved in the implementation of individual education programmes, integrated support plans, child in need plans and inter-agency child protection plans;
Be alert to signs and indicators of possible abuse
Record concerns and give the record to the Designated Safeguarding Lead(DSL) Robert Tye
Deal with a disclosure of abuse from a child in line with the guidance – you must inform the Designated Safeguarding Lead immediately, and provide a written account as soon as possible;
Receive level one training at least once every three years. In addition all staff members receive safeguarding and child protection updates (for example, via email and staff meetings), as required, (but at least annually), to provide them with relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard learners effectively
Do not disclose to a parent any information held on a child if this would put the child at risk of significant harm
All Visitors will:
Be subject to ID checks. This includes contractors, volunteers, and child support workers.
Be made aware of the Safeguarding information when they sign in
Contractors will be issued with a code of conduct which includes safeguarding contact information.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Robert Tye. He has lead responsibility and management oversight and accountability for child protection and will be responsible for coordinating all child protection activity.
When the Centre has concerns about a child, the Designated Safeguarding Lead will decide what steps should be taken and should advise the other Directors
Child protection information will be dealt with in a confidential manner. Staff will be informed of relevant details only when the Designated Safeguarding Lead feels their having knowledge of a situation will improve their ability to deal with an individual child and/or family. A written record will be made of what information has been shared with whom, and when.
Child protection records will be stored securely in a central place separate from academic records. Individual files will be kept for each child. Files will be kept for at least the period during which the child is attending Choice Training, and beyond that in line with current data legislation and guidance.
Parents will be aware of information held on their learners and kept up to date regarding any concerns or developments. General communications with parents will be in line with any home school policies and give due regard to which adults have parental responsibility.
When a Designated Safeguarding Lead resigns their post or no longer has child protection responsibility, there should be a full face to face handover/exchange of information with the new post holder.
In exceptional circumstances when a face to face handover is unfeasible, the MD will ensure that the new post holder is fully conversant with all procedures and case files.
A Safer Culture
Safer Recruitment and Selection
The Centre pays full regard to 'Keeping Learners Safe in Education' (DfE 2014). Safer recruitment practice includes scrutinising applicants, verifying identity and qualifications, obtaining professional and character references, checking previous employment history and ensuring that a candidate has the health and physical capacity for the job. It also includes undertaking interviews and undertaking appropriate checks through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). 'Prohibition from teaching' checks are also completed for all teaching staff and for EEA teachers, checks are carried out for any teacher sanction or restriction using the NCTL Teacher Services' system. Both checks are recorded on the Single Central Record.
All recruitment materials will include reference to the school's commitment to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of learners.
We recognise the stressful and traumatic nature of child protection work. We will support staff by providing an opportunity to talk through their anxieties with the Designated Safeguarding Lead and to seek further support as appropriate.
A Safer Environment
Supervision: Student reception area
Student reception is to be permanently supervised by a member of staff between the hours of 8.30am and 5.00p.m each day. Doors remain open during this time for student access.
Intruders on site
In the event of a suspected intruder on the premises, staff are to politely ask the person to leave the premises and are then to report this to a member of the leadership Team. If students witness a suspected intruder, they are to be encouraged to inform a member of staff immediately. All members of staff that are legitimately on the premises, including ALL visitors and trainee teachers, should be wearing a lanyard/card clearly displaying their name and all students will be in complete school uniform and/or school PE kit. In the event that an intruder does not follow initial instructions to leave the premises, a member of the Senior Leadership Team should be informed immediately. In some cases, Police may then be contacted and where appropriate the Principal may instigate a 'Lockdown procedure'.
Lockdown Procedure
Where an intruder on the premises represents an immediate concern to the welfare of staff and/or students, Choice Training will instigate a Lockdown Procedure. In these cases, the alarm will ring 3 consecutive times. In these cases, staff are to ensure that all students remain in classrooms/under their supervision and are to lock classroom/office doors. The 'all clear' will be sounded by the alarm ringing again 3 consecutive times.
Our Role in the Prevention of Abuse
We will provide opportunities for learners to develop skills, concepts, attitudes and knowledge that promote their safety and well-being.
Relevant issues will be addressed through the Citizenship curriculum, for example self-esteem, emotional literacy, assertiveness, power, sex and relationship education, e-safety and bullying.
Other Areas of Work
Our safeguarding policy cannot be separated from the general ethos of the Centre, which should ensure that learners are treated with respect and dignity, taught to treat each other with respect, feel safe, have a voice, and are listened to.
Safeguarding Learners who are Vulnerable to Extremism
Since 2010, when the Government published the Prevent Strategy, there has been an awareness of the specific need to safeguard learners and families from violent extremism. There have been occasions nationally in which extremist groups have attempted to radicalise vulnerable learners to hold extreme views including justifying political, religious, sexist or racist violence, or to steer them into a rigid and narrow ideology that is intolerant of diversity and leaves them vulnerable to future radicalisation.
Choice Training values freedom of speech and the expression of beliefs / ideology as fundamental rights underpinning our society's values. Both learners and teachers have the right to speak freely and voice their opinions. However, freedom comes with responsibility and free speech that is designed to manipulate the vulnerable or that leads to violence and harm of others goes against the moral principles in which freedom of speech is valued. Free speech is not an unqualified privilege; it is subject to laws and policies governing equality, human rights, community safety and community cohesion.
The current threat from terrorism in the United Kingdom may include the exploitation of vulnerable people, to involve them in terrorism or in activity in support of terrorism. The normalisation of extreme views may also make learners vulnerable to future manipulation and exploitation. The Choice Training is clear that this exploitation and radicalisation should be viewed as a safeguarding concern.
Choice Training seeks to protect learners against the messages of all violent extremism including, but not restricted to, those linked to Islamist ideology, Far Right, Neo Nazi, White Supremacist ideology, Irish Nationalist and Loyalist paramilitary groups, and extremist Animal Rights movements.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead will assess the level of risk within the Centre and put actions in place to reduce that risk. Risk assessment may include consideration of the Centre's RE curriculum, assemblies, SEND policy, behaviour policy, the use of Centre premises by external agencies and other issues specific to the Centre's profile, community and philosophy.
Our Centre, like all others, is required to identify a Prevent Single Point of Contact (SPOC) who will be the lead within the organisation for safeguarding in relation to protecting individuals from radicalisation and involvement in terrorism: this will normally be the Designated Safeguarding Lead. The SPOC for Choice Training is Robert Tye.
When any member of staff has concerns that a child may be at risk of radicalisation or involvement in terrorism, they should speak with the SPOC and to the Designated Safeguarding Lead if this is not the same person.
Safeguarding Learners who are Vulnerable to Exploitation, Honour-based Violence (inc. Forced Marriage and Female Genital Mutilation) Trafficking or Peer on Peer Abuse
The safeguarding policy provides the basic platform to ensure learners are given the support to respect themselves and others, stand up for themselves and protect each other.
The Centre keeps itself up to date on the latest advice and guidance provided to assist in addressing specific vulnerabilities and forms of exploitation.
The staff are supported to recognise warning signs and symptoms in relation to specific issues and include these such issues in an age appropriate way in their curriculum.
The Centre works with and engages our families and communities to talk about such issues.
Key staff are supported to talk to families about sensitive concerns in relation to their learners and to find ways to address them together wherever possible.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead knows where to seek and get advice as necessary.
The Centre brings in experts and uses specialist material to support the work we do.
What we do when we are Concerned
Where risk factors are present but there is no evidence of a particular risk then our DSL /SPOC advises us on preventative work that can be done within Centre to engage the child into mainstream activities and social groups. The DSL may well be the person who talks to and has conversations with the child's family, sharing the Centre's concern about the child's vulnerability and how the family and Centre can work together to reduce the risk.
In this situation, depending on the level of concern and what we agree with the parent and the child (as far as possible) –
The DSL/SPOC can decide to notify the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) of the decision so that a strategic overview can be maintained and any themes or common factors can be recognised; and
The DSL may call for an Early Help Assessment to be carried out.
All staff should be prepared to identify learners who may benefit from early help. Early help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges. In the first instance staff should discuss early help requirements with the designated safeguarding lead. Staff may be required to support other agencies and professionals in an early help assessment.
If early help is appropriate the designated safeguarding lead should support the staff member in liaising with other agencies and setting up an inter-agency assessment as appropriate. Early help referrals will be made by members of the Pastoral team and the DSL only, supported by other relevant staff such as teachers, Learning Support Assistants, Form Tutors as appropriate.
If early help and or other support is appropriate the case will be kept under constant review. If the child's situation doesn't appear to be improving, consideration will be given to a referral to learners's social care (MASH).
MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub)
If the concerns about the child are significant and meet the additional needs/complex need criteria, they will be referred by the DSL only to the MASH. This includes concerns about a child who is affected by the behaviour of a parent or other adult in their household.
If a teacher, in the course of their work in the profession, discovers that an act of Female Genital Mutilation appears to have been carried out, the teacher must report this to the police.
Where a staff member feels unable to raise an issue with the DSL or Principal, or feels that their genuine concerns are not being addressed, external whistleblowing channels are open to them:
The NSPCC whistleblowing helpline is available for staff who do not feel able to raise concerns regarding child protection failures internally. Staff can call: 0800 028 0285 – line is available from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday to Friday and Email: help@nspcc.org.uk
Involving Parents/Carers
In general, we will discuss any child protection concerns with parents / carers before approaching other agencies, and will seek their consent to making a referral to another agency. Appropriate staff will approach parents / carers after consultation with the Designated Safeguarding Lead. However there may be occasions when the centrel will contact another agency before informing parents/carers because it considers that contacting them may increase the risk of significant harm to the child.
Parents / carers will be informed about our safeguarding policy through our website: www.choicetrainingltd.co.uk
Multi-Agency Work
We work in partnership with other agencies in the best interests of our learners
We will co-operate with any child protection enquiries conducted by Children's Social Care: Choice Training will ensure representation at appropriate inter-agency meetings such as integrated support plan meetings, initial and review child protection conferences, and core group meetings.
We will provide reports as required for these meetings. If Choice training is unable to attend, a written report will be sent. The report will, wherever possible, be shared with parents / carers at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.
Where a child is subject to an inter-agency child protection plan or a Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) meeting, the school will contribute to the preparation, implementation and review of the plan as appropriate.
Where a child is looked after, staff are provided with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to keep the child safe.
Staff are provided with the information they need in relation to a child's looked after legal status (whether they are looked after under voluntary arrangements with consent of parents or on an interim or full care order) and contact arrangements with birth parents or those with parental responsibility (through SIMS). Where appropriate, staff are also provided with information about the child's care arrangements and the levels of authority delegated to the carer by the authority looking after him/her.
Our Role in Supporting Children
We will offer appropriate support to individual children who have experienced abuse or who have abused others.
An individual support plan will be devised, implemented and reviewed regularly for these children. This plan will detail areas of support, who will be involved, and the child's wishes and feelings. A written outline of the individual support plan will be kept in the child's child protection record.
Children who abuse others will be responded to in a way that meets their needs as well as protecting others within the College community through a multi-agency risk assessment. We will ensure that the needs of children who abuse others will be considered separately from the needs of their victims.
Peer-on-Peer Abuse
It is recognised that children may abuse each other. Any kind of abuse is considered abuse and no peer on peer abuse will be tolerated or considered as "banter" or "part of growing up". Peer on peer abuse can manifest itself in many ways such as bullying, gender based violence and/or sexting and will not be tolerated by Choice Training
Sexting is when someone sends or receives a sexually explicit text, image or video. This includes sending 'nude photos', 'rude photos' or 'nude selfies'.
Students are made aware through the curriculum that sexting is illegal for anyone under the age of 18, regardless of whether they were given permission, someone else sent it to them first, they have never met the other person before, they too are under 18 or it is a selfie.
Students are also educated on other associated issues with sexting such as losing control over personal images, being blackmailed as a result of these images, the negative effects on their self-confidence and self-worth and the legal ramifications of forwarding such images to friends etc.
Any form of sexting will not be tolerated by Choice Training. Parents / carers will be informed as well as other appropriate agencies.
In all cases of abuse, Choice Training will work in partnership with parents / carers and other agencies as appropriate.
Children with Additional Needs
Choice Training recognises that while all children have a right to be safe, some children may be more vulnerable to abuse, for example new arrivals to the country whose first language is not English or those living with domestic violence or drug/alcohol abusing parents.
If a child is subject to a child protection plan or where there is an existing child protection file, Choice Training will take this into consideration before making the decision to exclude, either permanently or fixed term.
Responding to an Allegation about a Member of Staff
This procedure should be used in any case in which it is alleged that a member of staff, Director, visiting professional or volunteer has:
Behaved in a way that has harmed a child or may have harmed a child;
Possibly committed a criminal offence against or related to a child; or
Behaved in a way that indicates s/he is unsuitable to work with children.

This 3-way shootout compares the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art to the Nikon 85mm f/1.4G and Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 on a scene with exceptional levels of fine detail.
Although the scene is quite distant, there is enough difference between near and far that lens behaviors are sure to pop out. Indeed, there is a big surprise in store with regards to the Sigma 85/1.4 DG HSM Art, its behavior quite at odds with its MTF chart.
See also the Snowy Spur of Mt Conness series.
Sensor cover glass thickness comes to mind, what with the "lab tests" at web sites claiming Otus-grade performance all using Canon versions of the lens (as this was written, I had no access to a Canon sample).
One user reports: "I shot with mine and the store demo and found the same behavior. I clearly found inconsistent results around 1.4. At close distance.". So this suggests that near or far there are at least some problem samples of the lens (which does not exclude all samples being the case).

Germany offers Rwanda 7 mln euros to support decentralization
February 9,2014
KIGALI, The Federal Republic of Germany on Monday committed 7 million euros to support Rwanda's decentralization program and good governance.
Claver Gatete, Rwanda's Minister of Finance and Economic Planning said the projects to be undertaken would prioritize district development plans.
Districts would be allowed to implement most local prioritized projects, thus making them more responsive to local needs, the official said.
The funds will also finance income generation and economic infrastructure, including schools, feeder roads and markets, he said.
The grant will not only support rural development and create employment opportunities but also help tackle the effects of climate change.
The German ambassador to Rwanda, Peter Fahrenholtz, said decentralization is the best way to address hindrances to economic development of any economy, which he said requires good governance and delivering services to the citizens.
"I'm hopeful that the money will be well spent to benefit citizens," he said.
Germany has been supporting Rwanda's decentralization through local infrastructure investment since 2006, including financing individual projects such as schools, health centers, electrification, roads and bridges, modern markets and terracing among others worth 34 million euros to date.
