Members of Union County's faith-based community and community development groups hosted a forum on Tuesday for elected officials and future leaders. "The Union County Candidates and Community Leader's Forum to Build a Thriving New Jersey" provided local residents the opportunity to hear from candidates running for governor and other offices about their plans to make New Jersey a more affordable place to live.
"Our elected officials and leaders are responsible for building a better N.J.," said Staci Berger, president and chief executive officer of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey, said in a news release. "Our leaders need to address our housing crisis, including the foreclosure crisis and the high cost of renting an apartment. To that end, we are asking all of them to endorse our platform to 'Build a Thriving N.J.'"
Participating in the forum were New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidates state Sen. Raymond Lesniak, representing District 20, Assemblyman John Wisniewski, from District 19, and Green Party gubernatorial candidate Seth Kaper-Dale. Assemblywoman Annette Quijano was there representing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ambassador Phil Murphy and Senate Democratic candidate Joseph Cryan, the Union County sheriff.
All candidates for governor were invited to attend or send a representative. Kaper-Dale, Lesniak, and Wisniewski each endorsed the Build a Thriving N.J. platform during the event. Also, announcing his endorsement but unable to participate in Tuesday's event was Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee Chair Jerry Green District 22.
Build a Thriving New Jersey calls on the next leaders of the state to invest $600 million annually into homes residents can afford. The Housing and Community Development Network launched the Build a Thriving N.J. campaign to boost the state's economy through a plan that creates affordable home opportunities and jobs for state residents.
The state previously invested in 10 community development programs but over the last decade cut much of the funding which has been diverted or abandoned, according to the group's news release. Several of the programs housing advocates say will help Build a Thriving N.J. include supporting the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, the State Rental Assistance Program, the Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit Program, Lead Poisoning Prevention and Weatherization and Homeless Service Programs.
"We appeal to all lawmakers and community planners to create neighborhoods and housing plans that are inclusive of all socioeconomic groups," said Geleen Donovan, executive director of Family Promise Union County. "This presents a vital plan that includes essential housing-related funds that were diverted to other state budget categories in the past."
The forum was conducted at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Springfield and sponsored by Community Access Unlimited, Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless, Family Promise Union County, Gateway Family YMCA, HomeFirst, Housing & Community Development Network of NJ, Iris House, Monarch Housing Associates, and the Union County Interfaith Coordinating Council.
"This event provided an excellent opportunity for Union County residents to make the case that a state investment is needed to ensure that all N.J. residents can afford a place to call home," said Richard Brown, chief executive officer of Monarch Housing Associates. "The Union County Interfaith Coordinating Council continues to help us build momentum for the 'Build a Thriving New Jersey' effort after a successful event in March and Homeless Sabbath in December. Because funding is critical at both the state and federal levels, Monarch Housing advocates and their partners will be in Washington, D.C. in July for a congressional reception to fight the cuts."

May the Best Delusion Win
You don't say:
The conflict between passion and reason makes up a major portion of the drama of [man's] existence on earth; and when the struggle is over, passion very often emerges the victor. This is the sad epic of humanity from the beginning (Brennan).
Frankly, I think this understates the power of reason to mess things up just as badly as passion. For as Chesterton said, "A madman is not someone who has lost his reason but someone who has lost everything but his reason." One can go off the shallow end just as easily as the deep end.
The problem is that reason, in order to get off the ground, must begin with an appeal to self-evidence. However, most people hide the evidence and proceed with the reason anyway.
An example of this occurred the other day. As you know, we homeschool our son -- not just because of the Chinese virus but because of the far more dangerous and deadly progressive virus that has devastated California. Because of this pandemic of idiocy, it isn't safe to have contact with any state-mediated institution.
Anyway, he was watching some kind of science video that happened to be narrated by planetarium director Neil Dyson. I forget why, but I reassured my son that whatever Dyson says about science is probably sound, even though he is probably in error when he strays from his lane and opines on anything unrelated to whatever it is he actually knows about. He is as superficial and conventional as one would expect of someone whom the MSM has anointed a Pundit.
But I don't actually know that much about him, only that he is a figure of fun amongst people I respect. So I consulted with Prof. Wiki, who confirms that Dyson regards philosophy as "useless" and is "unconvinced by any claims anyone has ever made about the existence or the power of a divine force operating in the universe."
Now, why would anyone care what a science popularizer believes about anything unrelated to his role of ratifying the Conventional Wisdom? No doubt because he is an effective apostle of the left's naive religiosity and simplistic philosophy, plus he's a Scientist of Color, so there are bonus points for virtue signaling (which is of course not his fault).
Like a Bill Nye or Carl Sagan, his opinions pose no threat to the progressive agenda and worldview. He can be trusted not to go near the science of IQ, or the absence of science of transgenderism, nor point out the wild inaccuracy of the global warming models. He's safe. He won't poke his head out of the Matrix.
Timeout for timelessness:
--Each one sees in the world only what he deserves to see.
--The simplistic ideas in which the unbeliever ends up believing are his punishment.
--He who speaks of the farthest regions of the soul soon needs a theological vocabulary (Dávila).
The following paragraph describes what the philosophistry of the flatlander excludes, nor it does this expanded view limit science one iota -- rather, it places it in the context of a far grander vision, one worthy of the human station:
[W]ith the advent of the thinking process, a completely new world is opened up to us: a universe of ideas and volitions, an immaterial expanse of creativeness, a region liberated from the palpabilities of sense....
Because it can overreach the restrictions of matter and rid itself of all time-space dimensions, it is truly infinite in its potentialities of understanding, a microcosmos which, by its ability to know and become the universe, is actually the universe (Brennan).
IS the universe -- not in the manner of perception-is-reality, but rather, because to exist is to be intelligible. And
The highest type of living activity consists in the intellectual grasping of reality. This penetrative power of mind presupposes that what is real is by that very fact intelligible, otherwise it has no title to reality (Brennan).
This paragraph adverts to one of our first principles, but it is hardly arbitrary or indefensible, rather self-evident. For either the mind can penetrate beneath the ever shifting surface of things to the intelligible reality beneath, or it can't. And if it can't, then scientific knowledge isn't possible, let alone anything that transcends or grounds science.
Without knowledge of essences and universals, we would be like animals, confined to sensory data about our surface contact with matter. "Knowledge," such as it is, would be reduced to prescientific rumors, gossip, anecdotes, and single instances. Generalization and induction would not exist because they could not exist. Nor could deduction exist, because there would be no principles or axioms from which to do so. It would be a subhuman world, precisely, with no possibility of escape or inscape.
It is quite obvious that the senses do not capture the inner meaning of things. They are in surface contact, so to speak, with their objects; and the best they can do is to register the accidental or phenomenal qualities of matter.
Nor could they ever know these qualities as accidental or phenomenal, because these latter can only be understood in contrast to the necessary and noumenal. As freedom is knowledge of necessity, reality is understanding of appearances (because they can only be understood as appearances from the perspective of a higher or deeper view). The intellect
plunges beneath the surface and grasps the very thing which holds all phenomenal qualities together. The senses exist in a sort of perpetual twilight.... Intellect, by contrast, moves in the clear atmosphere of immaterial knowledge.
A man who is only a man isn't even that, for
Man alone, of all earthly creatures, exhibits a complete emergence from the conditions of subjectivism that make the animal's knowledge concrete and particular and restricted to the tangible realities of sense.
Bottom line: man is the animal that may know reality. If not, then what are we debating? Whose delusion is more powerful?
Love is the Answer!!! Unless it's the Problem
A small but important point: "no sensitive power can reflect upon itself" (Brennan.) In other words, our five senses don't know they're sensing; they cannot reflect upon themselves. Rather, their knowledge is limited to that which they sense, which is always something material.
Nor can one sense know what any other sense is up to. Eyes know nothing about sound, as ears know nothing about light. To understand that the bluebird is chirping is an immaterial synthesis of sensory information, not reducible to mere sense.
I remember back in high school, a rumor made the rounds that it was possible to do homework in one's sleep. Apparently, all that mattered was that the soundwaves of the lecture enter one's ears. Being that I detested school from the depths of my being, this was an attractive proposition. Why doesn't it work? Mainly because learning can only take place in the depths of one's b. It doesn't take place on the surface of the senses.
Analogously, I always listen to music when going to sleep. Upon awakening I can remember the last song I heard before falling asleep, often even the point in the middle of a song. Obviously the music continued playing and entered my ears. Or did it? Music is only synthesized in a human mind. It isn't merely sensed, although the sense of hearing is obviously required in order to apprehend the music. So the senses are involved, but converting the sensory vibrations into music is pure nonsense. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Along these lines, Brennan writes that
The basic reason why sense is unable to make a complete return upon itself is the material texture of its being. A faculty that is able to reflect upon itself is necessarily devoid of all matter; and so its object is not limited like that of the senses.
That's a bold claim in these tenured times: that the most quintessential human power is devoid of ALL matter. After all, we live in a dark and materialist age in which nothing can be devoid of all matter except, of course, the doctrine of materialism. But in order to be a proper materialist, one must believe both that everything is reducible to matter and that nothing outside or beyond matter can have any real existence.
However, as we already said (in the previous post) A universe of matter alone would be simply unintelligible, period, full stop, end of story. Matter devoid of form is the "essence" of unintelligibility, if there could be such a thing. But there can be no such thing, except conceptually, for we never encounter uninformed matter. You could say that "matter" (or what Thomists call prime matter) is analogous to the placeholder 0 in math. In order for 0 to be something, it requires another digit. Otherwise nothing is nothing.
Now, to be human is to know that we sense and to understand that we know, and both of these powers are immaterial. How can this be? By virtue of what principle can an immaterial entity exist in a material cosmos? Well, math surely exists, and it is obviously immaterial. No one ever saw pi, or the square root of two, or Obama's college GPA. Yes, but math is objective. We're talking about the human subject. What's that about?
Not to run ahead of ourselves, but there is no such thing as an object in the absence of a subject. These two categories aren't just existential complementarities but ontologically irreducible to anything else, all the way down to the goround of being. Thanks to important advances in theology, man was able to move beyond the wild or tame speculations of pre-Christian metaphysicians, even while maintaining our sizable lead over post-Christian cranks and malcontents.
That probably sounds like a gag, but theology advances no less than does science. This obviously doesn't imply that the object of theology evolves, which would be absurd. Rather, our understanding deepens; to be precise, it can proceed forward, toward the Godhead, or back, in the direction of soul dead materialism or braindead atheism.
Philosophy, theology, and science are different activities, and let no Raccoon suggest it isn't helpful to distinguish them. However, we don't leave it at that. Rather, we distinguish in order to unite, in part because the distinctions are in the subject, not the object; and even the practice of science is always in the direction of deeper principles that unite disparate facts.
Put another way, realty is one, while our approaches to it are diverse. If one forgets this, then one will inevitably "evolve backward" and elevate something less than God to God, in order to make the unsettling diversity go away.
Put it this way: ether one acknowledges God or one conflates and confuses the non- or anti-God with God. Which is why idolatry is such an intrinsic error. Intellectual sin is probably worse than the other kind, because it can injure so many more people. You could say that a single crime of passion may be a tragedy, while the crimes of ideology are a statistic.
Speaking of which, Brennan notes that
When we sift the matter down, it will be found that love is at the root of every passion. It is, in a sense, the beginning and end, the alpha and omega, of all the movements of our appetites.
Another bold statement, but the first thing one must understand is that love itself is neither here nor there. Rather, there is disordered love and rightly ordered love.
A quintessential example of the former is the left's cliché that we shouldn't discriminate against others based on WHO THEY LOVE!!! (sic). Taken on its own terms, it means that love has no proper object or order. Which is precisely analogous to insisting that knowledge has no object or order. Which is to say that truth not only doesn't exist, but is an impossibility.
Which is to say: anarchy, chaos, and nihilism.
Or maybe you haven't noticed.
Strange Neighborhood
Let's stipulate that man is without question the most interesting and important fact in all of creation. If you can't stipulate to this, then you haven't yet begun to think.
I say this because thinking isn't just anything. Rather, it is ordered to reality, and exists for that reason. And unless you are a bit dim or just plain tenured, you will notice -- for starters -- that man qua man is the only creature that inhabits two very different worlds.
Indeed, man effortlessly reconciles these worlds in his own being. There are various theories of how this can be so, but they're just theories. Irrespective of your little theory, the fact remains that there is a material reality and an immaterial reality. Modern sophisticates like to reduce the latter to the former, while unsophisticated retro-Platonists such as Deepak prefer it the other way around -- i.e., "consciousness" is all.
But neither of these approaches fits the case. They're just two sides of the same sophistry aimed at making the problem go away instead of confronting it head on in all its strangeness: that we are embodied and we are ensouled, and although we can distinguish these, they are "not two." The body isn't analogous to an empty vessel into which an immaterial soul is inserted, nor is the soul a material entity or side effect of physics and chemistry. In reality,
man stands on the fringe of two universes: one, the world of matter and material dimensions; the other, the world of spirit, which has neither length, nor breadth, nor weight, nor any other tangible property (Brennan).
What a queer neighborhood! On the one hand, man shares the same zip code as animals, plants, minerals, atoms, and quarks. Yet, man is also "neighbor to the angels. Truly, he is a denizen of two worlds, a horizon and a meeting place. Though angelic by his intelligence, yet he is not a pure spirit; though sensitive and passionate by his brute powers, yet he is not entirely material" (ibid.).
The question isn't that this is the case, but how it is the case: by virtue of what principle(s) can such a strange situation obtain?
We mentioned a few post back that people naturally wonder how a divine nature and a human nature can coexist in the same person. Nevertheless, it is equally puzzling how animal nature and human nature can coexist in the same person, which is to say, in all of us, in varying proportions.
This is probably going to be a non-linear post, since I'm just flipping from page to page. Or perhaps we should put a positive spin on it and say it will be a holographic post, such that each part will reflect the whole.
At any rate, Brennan -- writing back in 1941, before it would have been controversial -- makes the surprising claim that the growing baby is never, nor can it ever be, "inside" the mother. As soon as you think about it, you'll understand why:
Man's body may be likened to a cylindrical mass of of matter, perforated by several tracts or cavities that open to the outside world.
For example, there is the alimentary tract, the respiratory tract, the urinary tract, the uterine tract. This being the case, there are obviously "two surfaces to the human body: an outside surface covered by skin; and an inside surface covered by mucosae."
So, just because something is "in" your stomach it doesn't mean it is in your body per se. Rather, digestion is the process of absorbing and transforming it into the body, precisely. And the most complete scientific account of this process will never explain how an it -- food -- is transformed into I -- the person.
It's an everyday analogue to the mystery of life itself -- of how, with the appearance of life, existence becomes experience. By virtue of what principle? And is this related to the principle of how two natures can coexist in one person?
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but Yes.
Back to the growing baby. If we want to be literal about it, the fetus is never inside the mother's body; rather, only in contact with the inside surface. If you want a baby to be literally inside your body, you'll have to eat one.
Speaking of outside and inside -- or interior and exterior -- Brennan makes the point that "certain requirements are demanded of the object if it is to be known, that is, if it is to be united with the subject."
In other words, waaaaaay before we can claim to know anything about any thing, there must be a principle by virtue of which such knowledge is even possible. What is this principle?
Here again, I suspect it will ultimately be related to the two mentioned above. But if we're going to know something -- anything -- the knowing subject and knowable object must share something in common. What sort of something? Well,
a certain degree of immateriality is a primary requisite. A universe of matter alone would be simply unintelligible.
Now, what renders matter knowable? Its form, which is the intelligibility that may be known by intelligence, both of which are obviously immaterial. So, man dwells in a haunted neighborhood, with invisible ghosts of intelligibility running around everywhere.

Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition
New York Times BestsellerWhat happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine.Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health. They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body. But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn't nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole. Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical, there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences.And that's just from an apple.Nutritional science, long stuck in a reductionist mindset, is at the cusp of a revolution. The traditional "gold standard" of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body. These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or pre-packaged dinners that is "good" for us, but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health.In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell (alongside his son, Thomas M. Campbell) revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven't changed.Whole is an eye-opening, paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition, a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world.

The Katherine Palmer Award is presented annually by the Paleontological Research Institution to a non-professional in recognition of excellence in paleontology. We present the award at the MAPS Expo each year in recognition of the contribution that this organization makes to the productive interaction between amateurs and professionals in the field we all love. Now more than over, professionals and non-professionals must make efforts to keep the lines of communication open. We all have much to gain from the wisdom and experience of each other.
Steve Felton was born and grew up on the coast of Maine, where he spent many a summer day on the rocky shores and tidal flats fascinated by the marine organisms he saw. After graduating from high school and a stint in the U.S. Army, he settled in Cincinnati where he still lives.
As he examined the magnificent Ordovician fossils of the Cincinnati region, it quickly became apparent to Steve that Cincinnati was the shore of an ancient sea, reminiscent of his childhood. The local library provided him with his first reference book, and he purchased as many of the listed references as he could. Dwayne Stone of Marietta College and Richard Davis of the University of Cincinnati provided additional guidance and references and Steve's interest grew. He became an active member of Cincinnatti's Dry Dredgers -- one of the nation's most active amateur paleontological organizations. He soon amassed a large collection of Cincinnati fossils, and has donated many of them to school children, nature centers, as well as many professionals in the U.S. and abroad. He has made special efforts to provide specimens and information to graduate students and professionals for use in their research. Steve's specialty is gastropods of the genus Cyclonema, and he has paid special attention to seeking out all of its many species and varieties. He has authored or coauthored several technical publications on the group, including a major paper with Robert Morris of Wittenberg University in Ohio on the symbiotic association of crinoids, platyceratid gastropods, and the worm-like organism Cornulites from Cincinnati. Among the many amateur fossil collectors of the Cincinnati area, Steve stands out. He is described by Dave Meyer of the University of Cincinnati as "undoubtedly the most knowledgeable local amateur as to the local biostratigraphy" and as "a real scholar" for his diligence in researching the old literature.
For the excellence he brings to his pursuit of paleontology, the Paleontological Research Institution is proud to present its 1996 Katherine Palmer Award to Stephen H. Felton.

Chaud Blaze, conocido en Japón como Ijūin Enzan, es un personaje ficticio de la saga de videojuegos Megaman Battle Network y de la serie de manga y anime Megaman NT Warrior. Su Netnavi se conoce como ProtoMan.EXE (conocido en Japón como Blues.EXE) y es el principal rival de Megaman.
Chaud es un Net Oficial y un reconocido Netbattler.

Historia
Chaud es un Netbattler prodigio que a temprana edad, recibió a su NetNavi, Protoman, y se convirtió en su operador. Ha derrotado a cientos de navis y ganado numerosas Netbattles. Actualmente es campeón del torneo N1. También es vicepresidente de la compañía de su padre, BlazeQuest y uno de los accionistas principales de Sci-Lab. Chaud se interesó en Lan y Mega Man cuando escuchó a la gente hablar del "asombroso netnavi azul" que resolvía crímenes en la red. Sin embargo, él creía que Lan era un excelente combatiente también, pero Protoman termina salvando a Megaman de la eliminación varias veces.

Mientras la serie progresa, Chaud es uno de los personajes que más cambia. Al terminar EXE aparentemente sale de viaje y regresa en los primeros capítulos de Axess, haciendo su aparición en un museo. Más tarde, en el capítulo 13 y contra la voluntad de Lan, Chaud obtiene un Syhncro Chip y gana la habilidad de fusionarse con Protoman. Eventualmente Chaud se va convirtiendo cada vez más en un amigo para Lan, más que un rival. Su trato diario como Netsavers los va acercando tanto, que cuando Protoman cae bajo los efectos de un Darkchip y se convierte en un Darkloid, Lan llora junto al chico y le promete que lo harán regresar. En Axess, también se revela que la madre de Chaud murió cuando él era pequeño y desde entonces su padre lo ignoró completamente. De ahí se originó su carácter frío y calculador.

En Stream, Chaud es el segundo elegido por Duo, siendo marcado en la palma con su señal al despedirse de Lan durante el capítulo 8, pues planea quedarse en Netopia para investigar sobre los Asteroid Navis. Chaud hace numerosos progresos y regresa a DenTech City con información sobre la identidad de Baryl y Colonel. Junto a Lan y los demás elegidos explora las ruinas de Duo en Netopia. Durante Beast es él quién encuentra a Iris por primera vez en una base militar de Netopia. Iris le deja inconsciente antes de ir a DenTech City en busca de Lan. Chaud comienza desde entonces un juego para atraparla y obtener respuesta a sus numerosas preguntas. Sin embargo, más tarde junto a Lan, Raika, Maylu y Dingo es transportado a Beyondard, donde queda separado de los otros junto a Maylu. Por esta época, las defensas de Chaud desaparecen. Podemos verlo actuando de manera divertida y sonriendo, pero sin dejar de lado su carácter táctico y su inteligencia.

More info on Attercliffe
Attercliffe: Map
Categories: Attercliffe > Districts of Sheffield
See also Sheffield Attercliffe .
Attercliffe ( ) is an industrial suburb of northeast Sheffield , England on the south bank of the River Don.
Christ Church from across the River Don in 1826.
The "cliff" can be seen in front of the church.
The name Attercliffe can be traced back as far as an entry in the Domesday book -Ateclive- meaning at the cliffe, a small escarpment that lay alongside the River Don. This cliff can be seen in images from the nineteenth century, but is no longer visible.
Westforth or Washford bridge, at the Sheffield end of the village was first recorded in a will of 1535. It was rebuilt in wood in 1608 and 1647, then in stone in 1672, 1789 and 1794.
Historically a part of the parish of Sheffield, Attercliffe Chapel was built in 1629 as the first place of worship in the settlement. The Town School was built in 1779, and Christ Church was built in 1826 but destroyed during World War II.
In 1686, Richard Frankland set up a dissenting academy at Attercliffe Hall. Three years later, it was taken over by the nonconformist minister Timothy Jollie, who educated students including John Bowes, Nicholas Saunderson and Thomas Secker.
In the early nineteenth century, Attercliffe remained a rural community known for its orchards, windmill, and large houses including the Old Hall, New Hall and Carlton House. New Hall was later converted into pleasure gardens, with a cricket ground, racecourse, bowling green, maze, lake and depictions of famous cities. It was known for its concerts and firework displays.
Small-scale manufacture of pen knife and pocket knife developed in the early nineteenth century, The suburb became more accessible with the construction of first a turnpike from Sheffield to the terminus of the River Don Navigation at Tinsley, then the opening of the Sheffield Canal , running to the south of the village. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, there was a frequent proposal to widen this to form a Sheffield Ship Canal, to terminate in a basin at Attercliffe.
Attercliffe railway station opened in August 1871 and closed on 26 September 1927.
Attercliffe has long been an industrial area, but by the early 20th century, there was also a large residential population and high-class shops, John Banners Department Store (Banners) in particular. The area declined post World War II as victorian housing was cleared which was not replaced, causing the local schools to close, followed by most of the local shops. While some of the local industries closed or moved to larger sites further out of Sheffield.
Adelphi Cinema
The Adelphi was a cinema on Vicarage Lane in Attercliffe, Sheffield . It was built in 1920 by architect William C. Fenton. The cinema closed in 1967, and the building was then used as a bingo hall under the name "Adelphi Bingo Club". It is now a nightclub.
The area became a centre for Sheffield's LGBT population, and is known locally for its sex industry, garnering a reputation as Sheffield's equivalent to Soho .
Its location on the Sheffield Supertram, the completion of the Five Weirs Walk and construction of the Don Valley Stadium and Sheffield Arena in the 1990s brought some life back to the area. As part of this regeneration, new house building started in 2002.

because educated women refused to allow they're sons to fight in theal bonn. you have a less educated mother here. single parent in the difficult system. the higher education a women has the more likely her son is to go on with education rather than getting into violence and drugs and certainly she won't condone her son getting into a gang or drugs. i've sometimes been criticized for that because they say all the 911 hijackers were educated and had university degrees and that certainly is true. but nobody botherd to check they're mothers and nearly all of them were i late rate an illiterate. exciting news and then i have to unfortunately talk to you about negative news. i've been in perhaps 120 cities
over the past 14 months talking to maybe 50,000 people and i ask this question most places i go and i'll ask you today. how many of you are aware of the fact in afghanistan today, there's 5 point 2 million children going to school and 1 point 8 million of those are female and in 2000 there was only 8 hundred 6,000 kids in school. how many of you know that fact? one, two, you? so that makes my total now - i've counted 21 people in america. to me that's single most incredible inspiring news to come out of that country. that alone is justification for the sacrifice and cost and the investment in that country and nobody in america is aware of
that. the media, government, the people. to me that news should be broadcast from every mountain top in this publication called hope we write about that. go and tell people there's some really good things happening and it's related to employ kabs and the number of kids in afghanistan it's gone up six fold since 2000. unfortunately there's other forces at work. in the last year the taliban have bombed more than 400 mostly girls schools and it's travesty. what's amazing if you go back, they've been written off the government records and not getting funding but some kids are still trying go to school in these villages and i think we owe to those brave children to help those kids finish school and don't worry about the, i.e.d
counts but worry about those brave children still trying go to school. this is a school we opened up in 1998. 12 girls in the front row. i asked them to increase it by ten percent a year of the they don't know how to do they're math there. this is what happened one year later. now there's two rows of girls going to school here. this is on the far left in the back, silver beard is the first man to get an education in this school and his story is in the book. incredible story how he left the va ladies and gentlemen and his father booted him across the river and said don't come back until you get your education so he did this and he walked into this urban area and everybody was looking at him if you ask most men there in the back,
what's the most proudest moment in your life, most of the men will say the birth of my first born son. not him, he will tell you the proudest moment in my life is to see my two daughters going to school here in the village. the woman on the extreme far right, she's the first girl to get an education in that valley of about 4 thousand people. she first wrote with sticks in the sand and now she's her second year of medical school scoring in the 90's. her father said you should not become a doctor it's really messy but she's determined to go back to her village and become a physician to help her community and it's an incredible story of how like her father she's persevered. this girl is from the afghan
border valley of about 4,000 people. she was the first girl to get an education in our village. the communities there are somewhat proactive about girls education, it was difficult for her at first. the boys through publs at her at first. later on a couple of teachers didn't want to teach her because she was female. in high school some of the boys stole her notebooks because they didn't want her to graduate. but she did. there's no medicine or clinic or hospital here. before she started working in 2000 in this valley, five to 20 women died in childbirth every year so. she went to two years of training and cost us about $800 and her pay is just over a dollar a day and not one women has died since she's come back and is working
there. and now i'll jump forward a bit. when we get hundreds of letters in our office and e-mails and some of the most powerful e-mails are those from our armed forces serving in afghanistan and sometimes iraq. recently i got an e-mail from a colonel. his first name is kris. he's the commander of the saber forces called,fob. ford operating base in north star province in eastern afghanistan. one of the most difficult and dangerous areas to serve. he wrote to me first as a commander but also as a father and a husband and told me a little bit about how difficult it was and then he said, you know, he had all his guys read three cup office tea and really without education, whatever we do here is in vain.
it's education is what we determined if these young men and women become literate patriots or illiterate terrorists and the stakes could not be higher. this comes from a united states military commander in the united states. i'll jump across the border and tell you why the stakes could not be higher. this is pakistan in 2005. 74,000 people were killed in this earthquake. 18,000 were kids going to school. most of the kids that died were younger and female because they didn't have desks so when the walls started shaking and the roof came down they perished. there was 9,000 schools destroyed or rendered unusable. 1/2 million kids displaced out
of school. in earthquake, they call it the coy mot that means this apocalypse. at first there was a very heroic effort. infer natio international community helped. after katrina red cross got 2,000,000 for help and for this earthquake red cross received 6 million dollars. the united states sent in helicopters that conductd the greatest air lift in the history of mankind. moved about 20 thousand on thes in the mountains to keep 1/2 million people a hive during the wintertime. it was very heroic and people were grateful. aid has dropped 70 percent after a year in the wake of that void
many jihad and people labeled terrorists have set up camps. this is one here. in pakistan. and in that camp, there are many kids that are previously were going to school and now they have no school and the cost to help them go would be about one month per month per child. fifth grader 20 bucks a year. first grader five bucks a year. they get their food in the back on the mess tenth and then on the left is an extreme place where people get indoctrined into a violent islam. because of international lack of help for those kids to get implicated these kids are here. there's another camp here. osama bin ladins first
assistant. spent two-years in gann tan know bay in cuba and he's running large camp and just down that the united states, 212 mash units. what's going on is they're agenda is to get people to be dependent and indoctrinate the violent islam. unfortunately we're a nonprofit in the states if we go into the camps or talk with anybody there we're affiliating with a terrorist organization and shut down by the, irs so we created a viral incubator for terrorists similar to what happened in afghanistan in 99. i showed this on capitol hill and they told me this was a classified photo. i took this beside the road here
and you know, just to - i think this is news that should be broadcast all over. that the international community, pakistan government, nobody cares about the education of those children. one dollar per month child instead we're sending 9 $20,000 tomahawk cruise my siels when the cost of one we could build 50 schools and over a generation to educate 10,000 children. do you think that photo should be classified? get in trouble? okay. this is - we started putting up some schools because there was not any getting put up there this is the village, 24 young girls died in the rubble here
and this is a girls high school. 7 of - bodies were unclaimed. there were several that died during the earthquake. most of them had not been claimed because they're parents were also killed in the earthquake. they wanted to build a memorial around the graves to remember the loss of life had not gone in vain for the girls high school. this is patka girls high school. also running other schools. don't have all the resources to put in buildings. this is in afghanistan and this is a ninth grade class. they're going to school in a russian, soviet, old armored personnel carrier. take a look inside. there's 12 ninth graders going
to school learning english. the younger boys are going to school in a steel truck container used to bring over united states military supplies. 80 kids going to school in a truck container. the girls are outdoors going to school in the dirt with one mat one black board that keeps blowing down and they keep picking it up in the wind and one teacher. to me, the courage and hope that resonates when i see those kids - some of these young woman, walk 1/2 hours to get to school. it's time we need to help support them and that they have the opportunity and privilege to all go to school. so, i'm - sometimes people ask ar organization and the board mass upon derd this to say half of
our staff is illiterate. why do you hire illiterate people to work with literacy organization. these men and women worked for a long time for us and they're willing to go in some of the most difficult, remote or dangerous areas to risk their lives year after year just to get one girl in school and i call this is the most over achieving under qualified staff on the planet. you know, some people ask me, well isn't it difficult or dangerous over there? what's the most difficult part about my job. the most difficult part of my job is i'm an indiana jones but i'm not, i'm a father, i'm a husband, and i'm a son - i'm just like all of you.
i struggle sometimes in daily life but i'm passionate about education and i know i couldn't do this without the great love of my wife and two children who put up with me being gone. we've been married 12 months - no. 12 years. she usually doesn't come. i've been gone about 65 months of my marriage and i didn't get to see my kids first learn how to tie they're shoes or my daughter first learn how to ride a bicycle. i did get to see, kiter learn that. i have that incredible support not only from that but wonderful communities. we could never thank all the communities for helping with the
children overseas that are able to reach they're goals through - my wife said i'll preach now. so, any way, thank you. keep on-going here. [applause] and i wake up a lot of nights and my wife says go to sleep but i can't because you see a village and then it turned into this big city in mexico and then you do more and it turns into china and you wonder where we're all headed. i don't know the answer but when you know thing i do know fiduciaries you listen to what the people want most of all, it's education for all they're children and i ask many women now when i'm over sees, i ask the women i'm here is a your servant and would like to help you what do you want? most women would say i want a
good husband or to become wealthy or prosperity. what most women say is, we don't want our babys to diet. how do you answer that question? it comes through educating girls and through female literacy. >> thanks, doug. this is different schools. my daughter occasionally, she looks at these photos and said, dad you don't have any playgrounds in your school so now we have playgrounds and skipping ropes and it's been a really great blessing to see. play is an important part of the learning process and socializing so thank you, amira.
this is in la lander school, the story is in karen chronicled it in a tab you have there. well this school, there are somal bonn there and tsom some,al b al ban they're and th attacked and tried kill people that came to school. the taliban. the headmaster peddled his bicycle 30 miles to the commander leader and he had two daughters going to another school. he got very upset and came in
with 120 militia and did kill onal ban and wounded one and arrested the 12 dozen others and found out they had gotten 200,000, 3,000, $100 to shut down the school from the mulla in the village. they went to his house and arrested him and they're a waiting trial in kabul and will probably get 6 - 8 years. two days later think did open up the school and even had another inauguration for the school because they said we want our kids to go to school. there are about 18 schools - she's got the facts. there's 18 girls that are not going to school and we set up what's called displaced girls school but the rest of the kid have come back here and i think
if if quest we can give those k the support they need for education i think things could really make a difference. this is another school. this is in a remote area of north afghanistan. the first day of school there was registration day and the kids came to register for school and noticed as i walked i looked down at their chinese rubber boots and flip flops and i kept looking at the ground seeing those little impressions of their prints and i thought back to 1969 when neil armstrong stepped on the moon and said one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. one tiefu tiny little print for girl walking in the dirt but
years later, dozens of other girls will be behind her and eventually hundreds and it will be one giant leap for they're community. it really was the peaks that first brought me there but the people that bring me back again. when i got to corefa in the spring. kanle was very sad. his wife passed away. first we embrace each other and there's dust flying around and tiers in our ayes and then we go over to the local graveyard. as we walked to the graveyard we saw her buried in the box in the ground facing the sunset. and out of sentiment he said without her, i'm nothing and then he said something that i would never forget. he said very soon you're going
to be standing here and i'm going to be in the ground. and he kind of chuckled and i didn't think that was very funny because i lost my father in his 40's from cancer in 1981 and my sister and you know all of us have lost somebody close to us and you never get over that loss. and when we're looking down at the ground, he said when that moment happens, did i say that already? soon i'll be in the ground and he chuckled and he said when that moment happens and you come to see me the ground you'll be very sad but i want you to do one thing, listen to the wind. and i got back in october of 2001ened i was in pakistan around that very hard period
called 911. after that the united states state department and embassy wanted to evacuate all united states citizens out of pakistan saying it's dangerous here but i had a lot of work to get done so. i called my wife and asked her what should i do and she said stay there with the people you love. finish up your work because you need to be over there right now. and when i was in pakistan after 911, everywhere i went i was touched by outpouring of empathy and hospitality. i remember a poor elderly widow that brought me five precious eggs and pushed them in my palm and said bring these back to the widows in new york suffering. this is all i have to share with them. i was invited for prayers of piecen the mosque and every whether i went people apologized even though they didn't have anything to do with it.
finally it came time and i went back and when i got to corefa, hangele had passed away. i went to his grave and stood there look at his box in the ground and thought, how can i go on, this man had become my father, mentor and guide. he told me to sit down and be quiet and take a bath and so many things. and then i remembered what he said. he said to listen to the wind. and i listened to the wind and in the wind i heard the voices of the children in the school and i remembered and realized his legacy and vision for education came true. and i also realized after a decade i had finally come full circle and i hadn't found the field of dreams in a corn field in iowa and i hadn't found the field of dreams at the top of,k
2 but i found the field of dreams in a place in a dusty field in a place called corefa in pakistan. amir you want to come up here. >> ♪ i see young boy. etching letters in the sand. ♪ in this land of ancient scars the promise still remains. knew muse when darkn ♪ when stars comes. ♪ first cup your a stranger. ♪ second cup, a friend. ♪ by the third your family. ♪ how long to trust a stranger?

The denim thing, as much as it's about the sick fades and the latest neppy denim out of that obscure mill in Japan. Its also about the community that builds up around Raw Denim.
This is something Per Fredriksson of C.O.F. Studio knows very well indeed. It's all in the name. Circle Of Friends.
Per has had quite a career in the denim business. From humble beginnings stocking shelves at Gul & Blå, a denim store in his native Sweden, then to Japan in the 80s and then onto Italy. Each step of the way, Per honed his skills and learned all there was to know about the nuances of the denim business.
Throughout his career, Per came into contact with others who shared his passion for denim and strong friendships were forged. This "Circle of Friends" would become the foundation of the brand Per had always envisaged. On his return to Stockholm after an 18-year stint in Italy. C.O.F. Studios was formed.
To dive into the details, our friends at Rope Dye sat down with Per for a chat about his passion for denim, building the brand and the journey along the way.
Rope Dye: Who are you and what do you do?
Per Fredriksson: Per Fredriksson, founder and owner of C.O.F. Studio.
RD: How did the brand get its name?
RD: How did you get into the denim business?
PF: The initial step was when I started working part-time in a clothing store while still in school. I thrived best in the environment of the denim department, where I started meeting sales representatives and eventually getting the opportunity to work with the Finnish produced, Beaver Jeans.
RD: You clearly have a passion for denim and clothing with history, how did it all begin?
PF: I remember so clearly the impact Levi's Shrink-To-Fit had on me when introduced to the Swedish market in 1976. I fell in love with these 'Made in the USA' selvedge denim products that really fit into the punk and mod trend that was popular at that time. (The movie Quadrophenia really sets the tone of the era.) Beyond this, they created a culture and environment that was so much more than just a pair of jeans. They united everyone of different ages and backgrounds, exploring and testing different ways of breaking them in and how personal and individual they became over time. Me and my friends could sit around for hours and just compare our progressing work.
RD: What is the concept of C.O.F. Studio?
PF: As the name insinuates, I want to create a sustainable and transparent product by working closely with friends in the industry whom I consider 'best in class' using premium components. No shortcuts or cutting corners. Jeans will always be the backbone of the company and we strive to produce everything inside the EU. We stay true to the traditional making as denim has always been by having a modern contemporary approach, so that everything that does not bring value to the product is shredded away, leaving the fabric and precision in manufacturing to stand in the spotlight.
RD: What inspires you when crafting a garment?
PF: Fabric. I see so much fabric on a day-to-day basis that when I come across something that really catches my eye, my mind starts researching which product category I would like to see in a certain fabric. From this point on I feel most of the inspiration comes from memories of movies and products I've seen growing up. I really like the relaxed lifestyle vibe Picasso has.
RD: Do you remember your first pair of jeans?
PF: My mother bought me a pair of jeans made in Sweden called 'Silver Dollar'. This was around 1968 and I was 7 or 8 years old.
RD: Why do you think denim has become so popular recently (over the past decade)?
PF: Growing up in the late 70's, early 80's I somewhat agreed and disagree at the same time to the question. Growing up, denim popularity was booming and wearing denim was just as much a statement as a trend. After taking the train to central Stockholm to buy a pair there would be lines outside the shops like you wouldn't believe. Everyone probably owns at least one pair these days, as they are just as acceptable to wear at the office as to dinner during the weekends. The diversity in brands, styles and fits has in this sense breached across every trend making it appealing to a wider audience, at the same time categorizing the end consumer in a different way.
RD: What do you love the most about denim?
PF: There is a kind of unexplainable beauty to denim. The way it changes over time and adapts to whatever lifestyle you may lead, still, no two pairs will ever be identical. It creates an artistic appeal of creating something yourself. Besides the product, there's a community of like-minded, good, easy-going people.
RD: How do you wear and treat your dry denim jeans – any special routines?
PF: Personally, I give them a wash or soak almost immediately. In my opinion, they get more life after a rinse, since the resin used in the weaving process can often make them look somewhat flat. After this, I might machine wash them every other month in lukewarm water with a little detergent, without turning them inside out. A notable mention is that I personally stick to 16oz fabrics.
RD: What do you recommend your customers to do regarding breaking in their jeans?
PF: There is no right or wrong way of washing denim. It's completely individual depending on what you want to achieve, and there are so many factors such as fabric weight and construction, all the way down to the staple length of the cotton fibres. I know some people follow very strict guidelines, but in this aspect, I suppose the younger punk version of myself wants to through every rule out the window.
RD: Do you collect anything (other than denim)?
PF: Watches, sneakers and boots.
RD: How many pairs of jeans do you have in your private collection?
PF: I have no idea. Maybe 1000+ pieces. It's worth mentioning however that a lot of these pieces are collected as references for work.
RD: Which pair are you most proud of?
PF: Not to be to boastful, but my very own C.O.F. Studio – M2 Regular – 16oz Ind Selvedge – Unwashed. I have created them myself after all, so of course, I'm proud of them and love the fit. Other than these I really enjoy owning a pair of 45rpm jeans that are limited to 60 pieces.
RD: Is there another brand that inspires you?
PF: 45rpm has to be what I consider to be my 'House God'. Leaves me speechless in every way. Margaret Howell as another honourable mention for their overall leisurely aesthetic and contemporary mix of materials and design. I find different things interesting from different brands and designers, but it essentially all comes down to the making of the garment.
RD: Are there any up-coming or unknown brands that you think are worth looking into?
PF: I find Matias from Southern California doing a lot of interesting things and his innovative thinking and details giving a 21th-century value to his products. He has great technique and always stays true to who he is and what he does.
RD: Where will C.O.F. Studio be five years from now?
PF: I would like for the brand to be self-financed through organic growth and can continue to work uncompromised. The goal is to reach 100 premium independent retailers globally and have our own web-based platform.

Mandolin Live+ Gives Virtual Viewers the "Sold-Out" RockyGrass Festival Experience
Article Contributed by Shore Fire Media | Published on Sunday, July 18, 2021
The 49th Annual RockyGrass Festival is returning in-person to Lyons, Colorado, this July 23rd - July 25th, and Mandolin, the tech-focused digital fan engagement company, will be livestreaming the weekend to give at-home viewers their own festival experience. In-person tickets are sold-out, but with Mandolin's new Live+ platform, those who can't physically attend will still be able to get in on all the action.
2021 RockyGrass lineup here
Virtual tickets, at Mandolin, here
The Rocky Grass festival is part of Mandolin's exclusive partnership with Planet Bluegrass to take all their festivals hybrid this summer. For the fans, the hybrid show value is clear - get in on a "sold out" or far away event, get high-res replays of favorite performances, watch stages and performances you'd never be able to get back and forth between in time at a real festival. And for venues and organizers, the value is just as obvious - a solution for ticketing "sold out" shows past physical capacities, replays for sale (the best souvenirs there could be), and fan data and behavior that cannot be learned through physical events alone.
Grace Barrett of Planet Bluegrass said "We're thrilled to be partnering with Mandolin on RockyGrass and our other festivals this summer. RockyGrass has an incredible lineup that we cannot wait to share with fans near and far."
Mary Kay Huse, CEO of Mandolin, said "RockyGrass is going to be an awesome event for everyone attending - both at home and on the ground. With Live+, we're making sure everyone gets a top-notch festival experience, regardless of location and if in-person tickets have sold out."

Prisoners: Isolation continues, we continue the hunger strike
PKK and PAJK prisoners in Turkish prisons are continuing their hunger strike against the isolation of PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan.
Sunday, 13 Jan 2019, 14:15
Prisoners from PKK and PAJK trials in Turkey said they will continue their hunger strike: "We started this hunger strike to enforce conditions under which our Leader can work and live freely, and we will continue until then."
On behalf of the prisoners, Deniz Kaya made a written statement about yesterday's meeting of the Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan with his brother.
Full text of the statement reads as follows:
"We are leading a liberation campaign in our fight. This campaign is taking place under the slogan "Tear down fascism, break the isolation and free Kurdistan" and growing continuously. We started this hunger strike to enforce conditions under which our Leader can work and live freely, and we will continue to do so until then. We do not consider the 12 January meeting between our Leader and his brother as sufficient, as this meeting does not mean an end to isolation. We as prisoners from PKK and PAJK trials in the prisons of Turkey and Kurdistan are very happy to hear from our Leader, but it should be clear that we are not deceived by the AKP/MHP fascist special war. It should not be forgotten that we lead our resistance with the consciousness of freedom based on the ideological and philosophical path of our Leader. That's why we have or will not let ourselves be fooled. Our determination to go on hunger strike is the practical expression of it.
The fascist AKP/MHP dictatorship uses methods of special warfare to suppress and end our resistance. The AKP government is getting more and more in trouble with our ever-growing resistance. Allowing the visit to Imralı on Saturday is a consequence of these problems for the government. If the AKP/MHP government wants to prove that they are not simply using a cheap trick with the visit, then they must not limit the visit to our Leader to his family but must guarantee its continuity and ensure free living and working conditions for him. Otherwise, it must be known that, we will not be deceived by this cheap policy. Yesterday there may have been a meeting of our Leader with his brother, but this meeting took place under conditions of isolation, which means the isolation continues.
We PKK and PAJK prisoners continue our hunger strike action uninterruptedly. At the moment, 226 friends are on an indefinite hunger strike. At the same time, an indefinite hunger strike with varying participation takes place in prisons in Turkey and Kurdistan. Leyla Güven, co-chair of the Democratic Society Congress (DTK) and HDP Deputy for the province of Hakkari, has been resolutely on hunger strike since November 8, for 67 days. Millions of people have joined forces around our reality and rose up against isolation. We tell you, your strength is not enough to put millions under isolation. In this sense, we invite all those who advocate democracy, writers, academics and intellectuals to say stop to fascism and resist. We call on all peoples of the world to give voice to the resistance in the prisons. Our resistance will achieve success on the path of victory."

WATCH Adrian Dix says the Westshore Primary Urgent Care Centre is a start but more changes to the healthcare system coming. April Lawrence reports.
On Friday, Premier John Horgan announced a new urgent primary care centre in Langford to try to close the doctor shortage gap on the West Shore.
It will be run similar to a walk-in clinic where you don't make appointments or see the same doctor but B.C.'s Health Minister insists it will help thousands find the care they need.
"Our expectation is that it will reduce the number of people looking for a family doctor when it's fully operational by about 5300 that's what we're counting on," said Adrian Dix.
It's a start but what family doctors say really needs to happen is for the province to take over the infrastructure needed to run a family practice. They say expenses like rent and staffing are deterrents, especially for graduating doctors who likely have massive student debts.
"They want to focus on seeing patients and overall, they're less interested in the business aspect of running a small business so anything that allowed doctors to spend more time doctoring would be a worthy investment," said Dr. Eric Cadesky, President of Doctors in BC.
Dix says they are making changes and will bring in alternate payment arrangements for the 200 new doctors they've promised to hire in the province.
"Our primary care plan has focused on alternative payments just for this very reason to maximize the way doctors can do what they want to do which is treat patients and spend less time for want of a better term small business people," Dix said.
The province says it will also be hiring 200 nurse practitioners and 50 clinic pharmacists and setting up 15 primary care networks and 10 primary urgent care centres, all with a focus on team-based care.

Even a well-planned system to house and deliver facilitation to parents and schools will be ignored if not marketed. Getting the message out that your program is open and ready for business requires planning, and leveraging of existing resources and relationships is necessary. Identify what your program does and how it makes the difference, and develop a marketing strategy for getting your story to the folks who will use it. Coordinate your materials and communications into a consistent message, and make it easy for people to find information about your program and how to access it. Identify others who will help you promote your program and who will share their positive experiences with others.

Sudan: UN agencies in campaign to protect 1.6 million from cholera
UN agencies, mainly WHO and UNICEF, are working with the authorities in Sudan to protect more than one million people from cholera, an infectious disease, which can kill within hours if left untreated.
So far, there have been 215 confirmed cases, including eight deaths, since an outbreak was declared in Blue Nile state on September 8.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN children's fund, UNICEF, will support an oral cholera vaccination campaign aimed at covering 1.6 million people there and in neighboring Sinnar state.
The first round is expected to start in mid-October, targeting everyone above one year of age, including pregnant and lactating women.
"Sudan has bad health infrastructure and a dilapidated safe water and sewage system. Re-occurring floods have further led to polluting water sources. All of these factors heighten the risk of cholera and other diarrheal diseases and threaten to cause a wide spread if no immediate response interventions are not adopted", WHO Spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said in Geneva on Tuesday.
WHO, alongside UN agencies and local and international partners, also are preparing to respond to potential outbreaks in six other at-risk states in Sudan.
Some $10 million to $15 million will be needed to contain the outbreak in the coming months to address issues such as health, safe water, safe nutrition and access to quality care services, in addition to mobilizing communities and youth.


It was a fascinating two hours that ABIE members spent on Tuesday, June 12 at the Paris headquarters of the OECD with Mr Greg Medcraft, Director of the OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs. The discussion ranged from blockchain to Bitcoin, the future of banking to the black economy, corruption and the estimated annual trillion dollar loss to the US from cybercrime.
Australian born Greg Medcraft spent eight years as Commissioner and then Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Australia's corporate, markets, financial services and credit regulator. Earlier appointments include director of the Washington-based think tank Salzburg Global Seminar, and in New York he co-founded the American Securitzation Forum.
It was the subject of trust that headed his ABIE talk. "Building trust and confidence is critical. Today you can't ignore the crowd", he said, referring to social media. "They can hold businesses to account. I see this as biggest change in the last 10 years. It 's not just the quality of the product that counts, but the quality of conduct".
This led to a discussion on blockchain and the high level of security and stability blockchain enables between users. The data relating to the exchanges are stored in a secure, verifiable and permanent way inside cryptographic "blocks", creating an endless chain of data blocks (hence the name blockchain) that allows you to trace and verify all the transactions that you have made. Once a transaction is certified, it can no longer be modified or tampered with. "I see that blockchain technology will change how we do business", said Mr Medcraft. "It will alter the way banks do transactions and certainly affect the work of a notary.
The Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs at the OEDC has a wide-ranging brief aimed at assisting markets to deliver growth, and in turn, better lives. Corporate governance, bribery, competition, insurance and pensions, standards setting and investment are some of the areas its committees examine. "The beauty of the OECD is that it helps countries avoid duplicating efforts", explained Mr Medcraft as he concluded his talk.
The many questions posed by ABIE members demonstrated how interesting they found the subjects covered.

Q: adding a calculated column on QlikView I'm new on QV and trying to add a column to an existing table.
I want to add to the sales table a sales revenue column that is the sum of salesprice from products table * quantity from sales table.
All of this because I wish to have a list box of sales revenue.
Thanks in advance to all the helpers!

A: You will need to in the unit price onto the Sales table and then do the calculation. You can't do sub-queries so it will have to be something of the following form;
Sales:
Load Product_No,
     Quantity
from Sales.xls;

left join
Load Product_No
     Unit_Price
from Products.xls;

Final_Sales:
load Product_No,
     Quantity,
     Unit_Price,
     Quantity*Unit_Price as Revenue
resident Sales;

drop table Sales;

The final drop table statement is very important otherwise you will get a massive synkey between the table that you do not want

My approach is caring and also highly effective and dedicated to achieving excellent results in the shortest time possible for my patients.
Today's braces are far superior to their traditional counterparts, both aesthetically and technically. Below, you'll find a brief guide to the different kinds of brace I offer. To me, braces are not only a method of straightening crooked or over-crowded teeth, they are a way of restoring a functional bite to create a better balance and harmony of your whole face; I do not believe in treating just my patients' teeth in isolation, for me, your teeth are always a part of you and your face.
I favour treatment that does not require anything too extreme, such as extraction or headgear. I much prefer to work with light, gentle forces. My approach is caring but it's also highly effective and dedicated to achieving excellent results in the shortest time possible for my patients.
An aesthetically pleasing alternative ideal for achieving the same precision of result as traditional metallic braces. You will forget you are wearing braces, and so will the people around you.
The new generation of lingual braces are designed to be worn behind the teeth so they do not show at all. They are becoming more comfortable so although it may take a little longer for patients to adapt to wearing them, many people choose them for their aesthetic qualities.


The machine can do everything except give out cash.
FNB has launched a new kiosk that allows you to open an account with only your thumbprints as verification.
The bank has formed a partnership with the department of home affairs, and uses government records to verify your identity.
"The machines are directly linked to Home Affairs and because they use fingerprint technology on their side, we are able to quickly verify who you are," says Lee-Anne van Zyl, CEO of FNB Points of Presence.
The TouchPoint kiosk allows people to open an eWallet Extra account with their thumbprints. Existing FNB customers can also do all their general banking, except withdraw money.

retail banking atm kiosk, which now supports mobile wallet acceptance and tablet-assisted takeover.
Engineered specifically for retail banking transactions, Source Technologies' Personal Teller Machine resides in the branch and automates 80 – 90 percent of transactions historically handled by tellers. Now, financial institutions' customers can simply tap their smartphone on the Personal Teller Machine's near-field communication (NFC) device to conduct a transaction using leading mobile wallets providers such as Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay, among others.
In addition to mobile wallet acceptance, the Personal Teller Machine now supports tablet-assisted takeover, which enables a financial institutions' staff to step in and operate the atm kiosk via tablet if needed. In this model, a financial institutions' staff can better serve as "universal bankers" who focus on sales and service rather than just conducting routine transactions.
Hamilton continued, "With our Personal Teller Machine, consumers are empowered to conduct their own transactions, but still have the ability to quickly receive assistance if needed. Moving those common, repetitive transactions away from the teller enables a financial institution's staff to take on more consultative roles, while saving resources and reducing in-store queues.
Founded in 1986, Charlotte, NC-based Source Technologies is redefining the branch channel by helping banks transform their branches with automation, innovative technology and superior engineering. The company's print solutions empower businesses to automate the secure printing of sensitive information and negotiable documents, and its ground-breaking transactional and interactive kiosks for self-service and retail applications enhance the self-service experience. Customers include 6 of the Top 10 US banks, 69 of the Fortune 100, and thousands of small and mid-sized companies.

ATM Machine – Can anything stop Cardtronics?
The ATM operator surged ahead in Q2 with lots of good news about earnings — and one piece of really bad news from 7-Eleven.
After several years of uncertainty, Cardtronics got the news in early July that many industry-watchers expected: 7-Eleven will not to renew the U.S. contract with its long-time ATM operator when it expires in 2017.
In its Q2 earnings call last week, the company addressed both questions, but with some delicacy.
When one of my credit cards expired this summer, my bank sent me a replacement with a microchip.


The US CLIVAR Working Group on the Changing Width of the Tropical Belt was formed in April 2016. The intent of the working group is to further the understanding of new insights that call into question the prevailing view about the nature and causes of changes in the width of the tropics.
Provide guidance on which metrics are most appropriate to quantify key impacts of the changing width of the tropical belt.
Identify how anthropogenic forcing and natural atmosphere-ocean variability contribute uniquely to decadal timescale changes in the width of the tropical belt.
Address how the global-scale widening of the tropics is manifested through regional-scale impacts.
Coordinate efforts with other international programs (e.g., SPARC DynVar; WCRP Grand Challenge on Clouds, Circulation, and Climate Sensitivity; GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel) and inform funding agencies of where research initiatives are needed to advance understanding.

We have an apple tree on our allotment, it's a Worcester Pearmain (we think) and by late August we have more apples than we know what to do with! This variety don't store well and after giving away a couple dozen we still have over 50 on the table. Drying seems like a good idea but the food dehydrators on the market cost around £50 for a small one (0.38 m2 drying area) to over £200 for a larger one (1.35 m2). With a bank holiday Monday to kill, we joined the crowds at the hardware store to see if we could knock something up ourselves.
We did skip a few bits of wood and if we'd planned this for more than 15 minutes could certainly have skipped all the wood. As it happened though we spent £6.90 on the wood.
Also a little bit of wood glue and some foil and duct tape (say 50 pence).
The cardboard is of no cost and the fan (120 mm, 12 v) came from an old computer case (these can be bought for £3 from good computer shops).
Call it £30.50 or £34 once we've added the 8th and 9th racks there's room for. The shop only had seven in stock.
The materials for the dehydrator.
The basic idea is a simple wooden frame, with lights at the bottom to provide the heat and a fan to provide the air flow. All the joints were drilled, counter sunk, glued and screwed to produce a pretty robust frame.
Drilling - no power tools used here!
Each corner post has little ledges for the racks to rest on.
The four 60 W bulbs are in two parallel sets, each with its own switch. This gives us two heat levels of 240 W and 120 W.
Four 60 W bulbs provide 240 W of heat (and a small amount of waste light).
The sides are covered with thick cardboard. The 120 mm fan is fitted into the middle of the cardboard base, separating the bulbs from the heating area. It's a DC fan, running off an old transformer I had kicking around.
All assembled with the 120 mm fan in the base.
And here we are in action!
In its current configuration the drying area is seven trays of 0.094 m2 totalling 0.66 m2. The capacity is 9 trays so a total of 0.85 m2, over twice the capacity of the cheapest commercial version. At least £10 of the final cost of £34 could be easily avoided by getting the wood and cable from a skip. The switch, bulb fittings, and plug could also probably be skipped with a little more effort. The trays were the most expensive part, they do look nice but similar function could have been achieved far cheaper by using a square metre of fine wire mesh from a garden centre. The apples do seem to be sticking to the metal a bit, so maybe plastic trays would work better? Or maybe we need to use a little bit of oil/butter on them next time.
It took around eight hours, used close to 2 kWh which is around £0.25 of electricity. Next up the solar adapter for sunny days! Whilst some did stick to the trays, these were the thinner ones; they were too thin! The best results are from the thicker slices, 4 mm seems around right.
WOW!!! Amazing! Thanks for sharing this! How long does it take to dry the apples?
Bravo.I just love creativity :D.
How far away is the fan from the lights? I'd worry about the cardboard getting too hot. And does it need a door?
The fan's only about an inch from the lights. The cardboard gets warm, but not very hot.
Tidy job, Chris, but you need to get yourself a proper drill. One with batteries!
How long do the apples last once you've dried them?
Indeed! In fact I do now have three (3!) rather nice Makita drills.
They seem to last pretty much indefinitely – at least the few months it took to eat them all.
