At that point, my back was against the wall. A girl had called my bluff — in front of everyone. I could've said, "Well, I'm not going to spend 20 bucks on it either," but that wouldn't have gone over well. So without stopping to consider the fact that I don't like heights, I took the $20 bill and got in line.
As the crane lowered, I told myself: It's not that high. But once the platform was at ground level and I stepped onboard, my nerves began. The platform rose higher and higher until the crane finally lurched to a halt. I stepped to the edge and made a horrible choice: I looked down.
So I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes and I'm proud to say that … well, I didn't so much as bungee jump, I bungee fell.
It's one thing to say what you are going to do, but it's another thing to do it. Action is where a lot of us get stuck. We know what needs to be done, but when we step out onto the platform, we just can't move.
He took immediate action. He recognized that it was time to get up. And unless our personal stories read, "So she got up," or "So he got up," then nothing really changes in our lives.
Without verse 20, verse 17 doesn't really matter.
Dear Lord, please show me where I need to take action in my life and give me the courage and strength to move forward. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Syria's President To Speak On 'domestic Issues'
BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's embattled president will give his first speech Tuesday since he agreed last month to an Arab League plan to halt the government's crackdown on dissent.
State-run media say Bashar Assad will talk about "domestic issues" and regional developments,
Assad has made few public appearances since the anti-government uprising began in March, inspired by the revolutions sweeping the Arab world. The regime's crackdown on dissent has killed thousands and led to international isolation and sanctions.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Monday that the Syrian conflict is sliding toward "civil war" and said it must be stopped. At a joint news conference in the Turkish capital Ankara, Norway Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said there is a need to increase international pressure to force to step down because of massacres by his regime.
"The religious, sectarian and racial structure (in Syria) is going toward a civil war right now. This must be prevented," Erdogan said.
Syria's conflict has turned increasingly violent in recent months as army defectors turn their weapons on the regime and some protesters take up arms to protect themselves.
Syria agreed in December to the Arab-brokered plan that calls for an end to the military crackdown on protesters, but killings have continued.
About 165 Arab League monitors are in Syria to determine whether the regime is abiding by the plan to stop violence and pull heavy weapons out of the cities.
The U.N. estimated several weeks ago that more than 5,000 people have been killed since March. Since that report, opposition activists say hundreds more have died.
Adnan al-Khudeir, head of the Cairo operations room that the monitors report to, said more observers will head to Syria in the coming days and the delegation should reach 200. He said the mission then will expand its work in Syria to reach the eastern province of Deir el-Zour and predominantly Kurdish areas to the northeast.
The Syrian government says that the turmoil is not an uprising but the work of terrorists and foreign-backed armed gangs.
Activists and other observers deny that.

About Usvlujan2019-09-16T12:05:37+00:00
The mission of the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area is to promote, preserve, protect,and interpret its profound historical, religious, environmental, geographic, geologic, cultural, and linguistic resources. These efforts will contribute to the overall national story, engender a spirit of pride and self-reliance, and create a legacy in the Colorado counties of Alamosa, Conejos and Costilla.
With 11,000 years of documented human habitation, the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area is a crossroads of the centuries. Here a unique blend of Native American, Hispano and Anglo settlement is reflected in the diversity of the people, art and traditions. The geographic isolation of our high desert valley and the peoples' enduring ties to the land have given rise to a rich cultural heritage and ensured its preservation. The area's fertile cultural landscape is complemented by remarkable natural resources, including the mighty Rio Grande, majestic Rocky Mountain peaks, Great Sand Dunes National Park, National Wildlife Refuges, and the high mountain desert, all of which lend the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area an unparalleled beauty that offers a sense of retreat and a powerful source of inspiration for visitors.
Three Primary Goals:
Support development of a vibrant heritage tourism sector that stimulates preservation, economic development, and community revitalization.
Tell the stories of the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area in ways that build community pride and support preservation, living traditions, economic development, and community revitalization.
Cultivate excellent management that provides regional leadership, reflects community values, and achieves sustainability.
Primary Interpretive Themes
A High Desert Valley's Wind, Water, and Sand Dunes
The delicate interplay of wind, water, and sand have shaped the San Luis Valley's unique landforms and contributed to its biological diversity. Though receiving little rainfall, the Valley's hidden aquifers support extensive wetlands that are home to globally unique plant and animal species and are a migration stopover for many birds.
Land of the Blue Sky People
Interwoven with the Valley's natural history is a very long and rich human history. The San Luis Valley served prehistoric and Native American cultures as a seasonal hunting ground where fowl, game, and edible and medicinal plants were bountiful. Select landscape features within the Valley have long been revered as sacred.
Interwoven Peoples and Traditions
The San Luis Valley is a place where different peoples have converged for thousands of years. The Valley's profound historical, religious, and cultural convergence remains visible in the landscape and can be experienced in its communities, art, food, lodging, and events.
Hispano Culture: Folklore, Religion and Language
The lower San Luis Valley lies at the intersection of the Hispano Southwest and Anglo Rocky Mountain West where the flavor of Hispano culture thrives. The Valley's relative isolation has preserved a living cultural tradition where art, language, architecture, folklore, and religious traditions remain evocative of the region's early Spanish and Mexican settlers.
What is a National Heritage Area?
A National Heritage Area is designated by Congress for its unique nationally significant qualities and resources. It is a place where a combination of natural, cultural, historic and recreational resources have shaped a cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape.
A National Heritage Area employs a partnership approach to heritage development involving collaborative planning around a theme, industry and/or geographical feature that influenced the nation's culture and history. This planning strategy encourages residents, government agencies, nonprofit groups and private partners to agree on and prioritize programs and projects that recognize, preserve and celebrate many of America's defining landscapes.
A National Heritage Area seeks short- and long-term solutions to conservation and development challenges by fostering relationships among regional stakeholders and encouraging them to work collaboratively to achieve shared goals.

Nashville: Lionsgate to Make Happy Ending Available
by Cindy McLennan, May 27, 2016
Nashville TV show cancelled by ABC. Hayden Panettiere as Juliette Barnes and Jonathan Jackson as Avery Barkley. Photo: ABC/Mark Levine.
We previously reported that there was an alternate, happy ending shot for the Nashville TV show, which was recently cancelled by ABC. Lionsgate TV, instead, decided to go with the originally planned cliffhanger, which left Juliette Barnes' (Hayden Panettiere) fate up in the air (sorry) after her plane disappeared. Now, Lionsgate is reportedly ready to make the happy ending, involving a reunion between Juliette and Avery (Jonathan Jackson), available to fans.
Lionsgate chair, Kevin Beggs, said they decided to go with the cliffhanger, because it was a better story. That said, it was also an intentional move, in the effort to tempt another network or platform to order the fifth season of Nashville. The Country Music drama series also stars Connie Britton, Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Sam Palladio, Lennon Stella, Maisy Stella, and Chris Carmack.
Here is more, from THR (emphasis added):
So what will come of that unaired happy ending scene between Avery and Juliette? Producing partners ABC Studios have rights to the DVD distribution deal, though Beggs said Lionsgate would make an alternate conclusion available. "I'm sure we would figure out a satisfying way for audiences to see an alternative ending — but it won't be as good as the ending we have given them," he said. "In a perfect world, we'd be making this show for many more seasons. Our hope and intention is to have an asset that continues to grow for many years."
For now, syndicated repeats of Nashville can be found on music-themed network AXS TV as Beggs says he's open to a spin-off of sorts — so long as it starts with a fifth season of the flagship.
"We love spin-offs, but it's premature to think about that because we feel the flagship has many more miles to go," he said. "If the right opportunity came, we would do it, but it would be in the context of continuing with this and seeing where we go down the line."
Although Lionsgate TV has not confirmed where it is shopping the fifth season of Nashville, most reports have mentioned Hulu, which currently has the first four seasons of Nashville available to paid subscribers. Other outlets rumored to be in the running are Netflix, CMT, Lifetime, Bravo, and E!. The THR report includes a reminder that Lionsgate owns the Epix and Pop TV channels.
Reportedly, Beggs and Lionsgate TV have not ruled out a deal like the one Connie Britton's Friday Night Lights got, from DirecTV and NBC. The first two seasons of Friday Night Lights ran exclusively on NBC (in first run). When the critically acclaimed high school football drama under-performed in the ratings, NBCUniversal made a deal in which subsequent seasons would be co-produced by DirecTV, which then ran the series months ahead of the NBC network broadcast.
What do you think? Do you want to see the happy ending of the Nashville TV series? Do you think another network or streaming service will order season five of the Nashville TV show? Where do you think the show belongs?

Nashville is a breath of fresh air! It offers something totally different from all of the police shows and other "soap opera" type of shows that currently are available. Please keep it on TV!!!
Steve Segal
Nashville was one of the few shows i looked forward to. I don't want a conclusion, I want it to continue. I found the storylines to be compelling and believeble, and the characters to be real, all with flaws and strengths.Plus the music was great.
Pleazzzzz keep Nashville on TV! It is worth more than half the shows that remain after several seasons. We need the "escape", the depth, and the drama. Keeps me sain to disappear into their lives once a week! :)~
I will watch! Regardless of where or by who the next series is produced…Lets Go!
Wishing for another season
I really liked the show and hated that it ended. Some parts of it were not as great but everything good seems to go off the main networks. If it goes to another network, that would be a good idea or even if it signs up for another season.
My understanding is that Nashville ended because of Tennessee's anti-civil rights laws against LGBT people. The show so clearly called for tolerance and compassion toward this population, exposing the hatred and ignorance and downright evil of those who condemn others for being different. So it makes sense that the show had to end. Tennessee does not deserve to have this show representing its culture. If the show could continue, I think it would be a service to humanity, because it so clearly represents the very best of humanity in all its failings and attempts to do right. But maybe it… Read more »
Keep Nashville!!! If the 18-49 demographic can't appreciate good acting and story lines then let the rest of us enjoy it. I watched Friday Night Lights and found it to be a very high quality production. One reason I like Hulu and Netflix so well is because they keep the good quality shows and seem to care about what their viewers like. I sure hope the show continues like Fri Nights did.
Sue Frasier
I saw this finale and felt like some of it was an ambush to the loyal fans. This cast was outstanding on this show and it has been bewildering since Day 1 about why the country music fans did not rally in support behind it. I hope the 2 little girl sisters can establish a good career for themselves after the great exposure for them on this show. If the show had any flaws at all, then it had to do with the predictability of love affairs constantly playing out between the cast members instead of externalizing new guest cast… Read more »

I don't want to see a So called, "Happy Ending" to, " Nashville " ❗ I, ALONG With OTHER FANS, WE WANT NASHVILLE TO CONTINUE ON❗ There are so many TV Shows that seem to go on & on for years! I don't get this! Why do people want to watch TV shows about Murder, Crime, Evil crap or, Stupid Reality Shows, etc, etc! When we can watch, Nashville, instead. Such awesomeness on Nashville! Perfect actors, great music…. Nashville is the Real Deal.❗ What's the public afraid of anyways?? Too close to the truth about what goes on behind the… Read more »

Q: Loopback4 Error in dependency injection: is not bound to any value in context application i have this error
Unhandled error in POST /client: 500 Error: The key 'controllers.pointController' is not bound to any value in context application
My class
constructor(
        @repository(ClientRepository)
        public clientRepository: ClientRepository,
        // Controllers
        @inject('controllers.pointController')
        public pointController: PointController,

    ) {
    }
// functions

i follow the documentarion of loopback4 and dependency injection, but doesn't work
any idea?

A: By default, LoopBack uses PascalCase keys when binding controller classes, see e.g. this test:
https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/blob/0444120cda7119c66bc2170f4817e67d8dc9d312/packages/core/src/tests/unit/application.unit.ts#L25-L33
expect(binding.key).to.equal('controllers.MyController');

Your example does not provide enough information, so I'll assume your controller is defined as a class PointController in src/controllers/point.controller.ts file and you are using @loopback/boot to load and register your application's artifacts.
In that case, you need to fix your code as follows - notice the upper-case P:
@inject('controllers.PointController')

Additional information
In the future, you can use debug logs to find binding keys created for the different artifacts. On Unix (MacOS, Linux):
DEBUG=loopback:context:binding npm start

In the debug log, you should see a message like this:
loopback:context:binding Bind controllers.PointController to class PointController

The part controllers.PointController is the binding key to use for @inject, the part PointController is the name of the controller class.

Local 33–UNITE HERE, formerly the Graduate Employees and Students Organization ("GESO–UNITE HERE"), is a union of graduate student teachers and researchers at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Local 33 is affiliated with the international union UNITE HERE, which also represents Yale University's service, maintenance, clerical, and technical workers. After more than three decades of organizing, Yale graduate workers submitted over 3,000 signed union authorization cards to the Hartford, Connecticut office of the National Labor Relations Board. This represents the greatest number of graduate workers who have ever supported unionizing. If successful, the proposed 4,000 worker bargaining unit would likely be the second-largest bargaining unit approved by the NLRB in 2022.

Local 33 has received support from many prominent academics, including Corey Robin, Michael Denning, David Graeber, and Michael Bérubé, and elected officials, including Governor Dannel Malloy, Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, New Haven Mayor Toni Harp, US Senator Bernie Sanders, and US Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.

History

In 2014, Local 33 took its campaign public at a rally on October 21, unveiling a petition with the photographs of over 1000 graduate students calling on Yale to negotiate the terms of a neutral election. Local 33 is asking Yale to address four main issues: fairness in teaching and funding; mental healthcare for graduate students; racial and gender equity; and affordable childcare.

On August 29, 2016, following the NLRB's decision in Columbia, Local 33 members in 10 academic departments filed election petitions with the NLRB.

On January 25, 2017, the Regional Director for Region 1 of the National Labor Relations Board ordered union elections for graduate teachers in the Departments of East Asian Languages and Literatures, English, Geology and Geophysics, History, History of Art, Math, Physics, Political Science, and Sociology.

Activities

In 2012, GESO hosted a conference on academic labor entitled, "The Changing University: An Interdisciplinary Symposium". In 2014, GESO re-emerged with two "majority petition" rallies. The first, held on April 30, presented a petition to the Yale administration with over 1000 signatures of graduate students. The second, on October 21, 2014, presented a petition with over 1000 photographs of graduate students paired with allies from the local unions, the community, and elected officials, including Governor Dannel Malloy, New Haven Mayor Toni Harp, and US Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. In February 2015, GESO released a report on the expansion of Yale College, entitled "Teaching in a Growing Yale: Critical Questions." GESO presented a petition with over 1100 signatures to the university in May 2015. The petition calls on Yale to "begin contract negotiations on issues of immediate concern including funding security, racial and gender equity, and mental health care."

Take a moment to imagine a college classroom where you get credit for what you already know. A college classroom where you can apply your existing knowledge – like what you've gained through life experiences in the workplace – to demonstrate mastery of a skill.
Ok good! Now add to your vision the ability to gain additional college credit in this classroom by mastering new skills. You can learn these new skills at your own pace and all the material is personalized for you.
Sound nice? We think so too. And lucky for you this classroom already exists, online, with instruction that is competency based.
You start when you want, test when you are ready, and study only what you need!
Short for "Competency Based Education," CBE is a type of learning that is highly personalized and allows you to progress at your own pace. You earn college credit through mastering skills and completing "assessments" which give you credit for things you've previously mastered in your life.
CBE is very popular among adult learners who know that street smarts are just as important as book smarts. It's one thing to have knowledge, but it's an entirely different ball game when you've actually mastered a skill. It makes you more marketable to employers and helps build self-confidence.
100 percent online, competency based instruction is available through the Fast Track Supervisor Certificate and the Fast Track Retail Management Certificate programs.
* Note: some employers will pay for this program. Check with yours.
Effective supervisors are necessary in all settings where employees need guidance and direction to complete tasks, serve customers and meet deadlines. Corporations, private and public organizations, and educational institutions are just a few of the environments that search for effective supervisors. Because the job title "supervisor" cuts across all industries, this certificate is an excellent choice for students in a variety of businesses.
Students who earn the Supervisor Certificate online – with fast track, competency based instruction – are pre-assessed prior to starting classes, meaning they only need to work on missing competencies until they achieve at least 80 percent mastery.
From food to fashion, many industries rely on retail managers to keep their business running efficiently and effectively. Retail managers offer employees guidance and direction to complete tasks, serve store customers and ensure important deadlines are met.
A few of the areas that retail managers can work in are customer service, merchandising, information, logistics and supply chain, marketing or human resources. Because retail managers are employed in numerous industries, this certificate is a great choice for students in a variety of businesses.
Students who earn the Retail Management Certificate online – with fast track, competency based instruction – are pre-assessed prior to starting classes, meaning they only need to work on missing competencies until they achieve at least 80 percent mastery.

Mumbai University Library, Mumbai
Mumbai University, formally known as The University of Mumbai, is a Gothic revival style building designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It is considered among his best works, despite Scott never having visited India himself.
Scott designed the Convocation Hall (built 1869-74) from his London office, as well as the Library and massive clock tower (built 1869-78).
The Convocation Hall is decorated in French 15th century style, with ornate stonework and carvings. The Library and clock tower are in a Venetian Gothic style. The two different architectural styles blend in perfectly, giving the building a unique charm.
The Rajabai Clock Tower was designed on the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London. It stands proud at a height of 9.1 m. Curiously, Scott adorned the tower with oriental figures which are marvellously sculpted.
The Library stands separate to the Convocation Hall. It has a corner staircase that towers with spiralling arcades. It's part Venetian in style with sharply pointed spires and intricate stained-glass windows. The front of the library has stone columns supporting a porch. The brickwork is red, as with many of Scott's buildings.
A little-known fact about the University is Scott's original plans for the building were deemed too expensive. Two British architects, Walter Paris and George Twigge-Molecey, were commissioned to reduce them. This was done initially without Scott's knowledge. The two-man team managed to keep much of Scott's design intact, although the original plan was far grander and would now be considered Scott's most magnificent university building.

Our Oceans Are Dying As Dead Zones Have Quadrupled In Size
By: Nidhi Goyal | January 17th, 2019
Underwater by Free-Photos via pixabay.com
Dead zones are low or zero oxygen areas in the world's oceans where marine animal suffocate and die due to lack of oxygen. There are many 'dead zones' in the oceans of the world.
What's causing these dead zones?
Decline in ocean oxygen is one of the most serious effects of human activities on Earth's environment.
Human activities like fossil fuel burning, plastic pollution, use of fertilizers and sewage has contributed to the creation of these dead zones.
Scientists reviewed the evidence on low-oxygen zones collected around the world and found that these dead zones have quadrupled in size since 1950. While the number of very low oxygen sites near coasts have increased tenfold since '50s
It's a much bigger problem than most people recognize
Scientists have warned that our oceans will continue to lose oxygen at a rapid pace. Most of the sea creatures cannot survive in these zones and this trend would lead to mass extinction in the long run.
As the oceans get warmer, marine life need more oxygen to survive. It will not only affect the marine ecosystem, but also the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on the sea. There are about 500 million people who depend on food from the ocean.

Terrorism is all over the news these days. From Gaza to Iraq, from Washington to Tehran, everybody's using it liberally. About what, you ask? Everything from those wishing to topple regimes in Iraq and Syria to, well, those of the coalition fighting to uphold those regimes, namely Syrian President Bashar Assad, Iran and Hezbollah.
The international community still somewhat confused about the precise definition of terrorism, particularly in Syria, where both sides have been described as such. Iran has all the answers. Everything everybody else does is terrorism, and everything they do is not. No matter that they smuggle arms, kill adversaries and uphold regimes which butcher their own innocent citizens. In the last few days, its state-affiliated media outlets have been publishing many articles on the dreaded "Islamic State": its "blatant violation of human rights," its "crimes against humanity," and its actions that have "nothing to do with Islam." No matter that they themselves are a radical Islamic state with the same attributes.
No doubt, the Islamic State's actions are atrocious. But to presume that its Iranian-backed adversaries, Shi'ite Hezbollah, Assad, and others are any different in matters of violation of human rights, crimes against humanity, or radical interpretations of Islam, would be a gross – and dangerous – misinterpretation. The assumption that Shi'ite or Shi'ite-sympathetic terrorism is any better than Saudi-backed Sunni terrorism overlooks the fact that terrorism is about actions, not religious affiliation. While Iran states that it "won't tolerate terror", it continues to support it in other guises.
From the media you may learn that Iran is an ally in the coalition against terror. Want to stop Middle East terrorism? Call Iran,' apparently a natural partner in counterterrorism efforts.
And the West? The Telegraph reports that Tehran is "prepared to cast aside 35 years of hostility" to join forces with Washington against terrorism, while ignoring Iran's designation as state sponsoring terrorism. Al-Monitor's Ali Hashemi also writes about Iran's willingness to help. On CNBC, David Phillips is a lot more analytical, writing that "coordinating security with Iran is a pipe dream," as "Iranian drones are already in Iraqi air space and the Quds force is on the ground in Iraq." Overall, the tone is this: if Iran is willing to help defeat IS, it must have had a change of heart about terrorism. All depends on the definition of terrorism, apparently.

Gavez obični (ljubičasti gavez, veliki gavez, lat.: Symphytum officinale) je višegodišnja biljka s ljubičastim ili ružičastim cvjetovima. Ostali nazivi ove biljke su crni gavez, kilnjak, konjski rep, korijen za slomljenu nogu, gabež, opašica, svatovci, vela konsolida, volovi jezik. Gavez sadrži alantoin, tanine, sluzi i pirolizidinske alkaloide. Može pospješiti granulaciju i stvaranje kalusa, djelovati protuupalno (antiflogistično) i pomoći kod iščašenja, uganuća, prijeloma i podljeva krvi. Upotreba biljke za internu konzumacija, kao u obliku čaja, se ne preporuča, jer može izazvati oštećenje jetre. Biljka može narasti i do 60 cm.

Opis biljke
Gavez ima sočnu, grubo dlakavu stabljiku, visine 20-100cm. Višegodišnji korijen gaveza raste vrlo duboko u zemlji. Debeo je i razgranat, vretenast i sočan. Izvana je tamno smeđe do crnkaste boje, a iznutra bijele do svijetlo žute boje. Donji listovi su veliki s peteljkom, duguljasti i grubo dlakavi. Listovi na stabljici su naizmjenično poredani i grubo dlakavi po cijeloj površini. Cvjetovi izbijaju tijekom ljeta iz pazuha gornjih listova, a okrenuti su prema dolje u jednostrano povijenim cvatovima. Imaju oblik uskog zvona a boja im je prljavobijela do ružičaste ili ljubičaste.

Vrijeme cvatnje
Gavez cvate od svibnja do kolovoza mjeseca u godini.

Rasprostranjenost
Gavez raste po čitavoj Srednjoj Europi. Nalazi se na vlažnim mjestima, jarcima, uz vode i na vlažnim livadama. Za poljoprivrednike predstavlja korov koji se teško iskorjenjuje (zbog dužine korijena).

Uporabni dijelovi
Za lijek se sakupljaju listovi i korijen. Korijen se skuplja u proljeće i kasnu jesen. Nakon što se iskopa, opere se i da ne izgubi od sluzavog soka, najprije se posuši, reže na komadiće i do kraja osuši na toplom mjestu.

Sastav
Korijen gaveza sadrži alkaloide liziokarpin i cinoglosin, tanine, glikozide, sluzi, gume, smole, eterično ulje, alantoin .

Ljekovito djelovanje
Od svih domaćih ljekovitih biljaka gavez sadrži alantoin, tvar što ponajviše djeluje u stvaranju novih stanica, zbog čega se gavez koristi u liječenju rana, čak i zapuštenih gnojnih rana. Njime se liječe sve vrste ozljeda: ispucanost, posjekline, lom kostiju, izljev krvi i sl. Korijen gaveza djelotvoran je u liječenju raznih teškoća probavnih organa, protiv katara želuca (s proljevom ili bez njega), srdobolje, bolesti bubrega i kod prejake menstruacije. Upotrebljava se kod krvarenja želuca, bronhalnog katara, upale pluća, krvavog kašlja i ispljuvka, upale porebrice i dr.

Q. How can literary innovation help us make sense of a globalizing world?
More than ever, our everyday lives put us in contact with far away people and places. We need transnational literacy to help us figure out who and where we are in the world, to let our cultural and even linguistic differences be something that connect rather than divide us. Literature and the arts are vital resources for developing transnational literacy. Readers understandably want to be moved by what they read, to identify with familiar characters, and to be absorbed by an exciting plot. But sometimes the best stories are the ones we did not know we wanted.
There is value in literature that challenges the conventions of storytelling – both stylistically and culturally. Modernism, a movement that began in the early 20th century, did away with the traditional notions of character and plot, and aimed to create an experience of estrangement within its audience. Its stylistic unconventionality offers a way of seeing social conventionality anew. From James Joyce to Zadie Smith, writers have used modernist techniques to think about how communities are formed – what makes them stable and what makes them change.
The effort to rethink national and international community in particular gathered major force in the period between the two world wars. After the destruction of World War I, many modernist writers not just in Europe but in its colonies (e.g. Ireland, South Asia, the Caribbean, and Africa) lost faith in the idea of empire and began looking for alternative ways of imagining community on more equal ground. Seeking to counter imperialism with international solidarity, writers like Joyce, Rabindranath Tagore, and Claude McKay turned to literary experimentation as a way of exploring questions of political autonomy, communal loyalty, and individual freedom.
When modernism crossed paths with colonial history, it inspired surprising strategies for forging communal bonds across lines of difference. Its aesthetics of fragmentation, collage, montage, and language mixing (multilingualism) helped represent not just the disordered breakdown of empires, but the birth of communities at multiple scales: national, continental, diasporic. By altering perceptions about what constituted the unity or cohesion of an artwork, modernists from the colonial world challenged dominant understandings of what constituted the unity and cohesion of a society.
Modernism thus leaves us with an important legacy. It gives us a different way of thinking about creative works. They don't have to be seamlessly unified. They can display their grafts and sutures. By showing the act of making, modernism reveals the dynamism of aesthetic and social processes as well as the constructed and reconstructed nature of communal identities. Creating and reading literature with its social import in mind, we learn to reflect upon often unnoticed "natural" attachments (to our families or nations for instance) while also glimpsing the potential for new attachments to peoples, places, and traditions not immediately our own. Far from promoting simplistic ideas of transnational sympathy, modernism's aesthetic difficulty uses estrangement to draw us into both the violence and inventiveness of cross-cultural encounters.
English professor Aarthi Vadde examines British and Anglophone literature in the context of colonialism, migration and globalization. Her research and teaching focus on expanding and refining theories of modernism as more than a Western phenomenon, in part by looking at how literary styles and specific works travel through cultural institutions, the process of translation, and modes of canonization.
While she came to Duke with a doctorate in English from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, it was a course in literary theory late in her undergraduate career at Columbia University that put her on the career path to academia.
Her realization that reading literature was a conduit for developing one's own critical identity was transformative. She abandoned her law school plans to pursue graduate study.
As she continued on, her courses exposed her to modernist and post-colonial authors, who were newly integrated into English literary study. Many of the authors she found compelling – Salman Rushdie, Jamaica Kincaid, Tayeb Salih – were also linguistically surprising. They blended different languages together, played with etymology, and used the versatility of literary narrative to question official histories.
The changing face, race, and place of modernism is an abiding fascination for Vadde. It has spurred her interest in how universities categorize and institutionalize literary works, many of which were intended to provoke cultural authorities. She suggests that how we categorize literature – as modernist, postcolonial, British, American, or Anglophone – should reflect not only past traditions but also present concerns.
Her current book-in-progress "Chimeras of Form" explains the relationship between the modernist novel, colonial history, and internationalism in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By broadening modernism's geography, Vadde advances a model of literary and political belonging that illuminates the many facets of English as a global language.

Miss Use and Mrs Malaprop
I love words and phrases and the ways we use them. I especially like catching errors, whether by others or by myself. (I just learned last year that "enormity" is not a synonym for "enormousness," nor "punctilious" one for "punctual.")
In my youth, I was a prescriptive grammarian, grumpily predicting the extinction of our species thanks to linguistic folding, spindling and mutilating committed by uneducated and thoughtless vandals. Happily, my self-appointed mission has evolved into that of a descriptive grammarian: I now accept with equipoise the abuse heaped on our haggard old mother tongue and the inevitability that some damage will occur (let's call it evolution) and I try to remember that occasionally the English language actually benefits from such depredations.
By way of celebrating the inevitable, here are some of my favorite misuses, conveniently broken down into a taxonomy:
Misspellings and Homophonic Errors: The computer is responsible for dramatic shifts in both of these categories. Spell check catches the spelling errors, but not homophonic ones. In fact, writers have actually become less vigilant in this regard because of spell check. So while we're seeing fewer misspellings in print (such as "wherewithall," with two Ls, in a recent Star Tribune article), we're seeing far more "to/two/too" and "their/they're" confusion. Happily for us recreational observers, misspellings still abound in hand-written signs, as in "cardomon" for cardomom at a local food coop and boxes of "stationary" at my favorite thrift store.
The Near-Homophonic Error occurs when a word is mistaken for a similar word. Sometimes these are simple careless pronunciations, as in "pasture" for pastor and "rapture" for raptor, and other times they're full-blown mistakes, as in the case of the newscaster who announced an outbreak of salmonella poisoning making the first L silent so it sounded fish-related. Other favorites are "bespeckled" for bespectacled, "to jive with" for to jibe with, and "hone in on" instead of home in on.
Misuse of a Word within a Phrase: When I worked at the Guthrie Theater box office in the 70s, people would call asking about "season's tickets," confusing, I assume, season tickets with season's greetings. And people say "daylight savings time" so often that it is listed as an alternate in my new Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, even though the official name is indisputably Daylight Saving Time (my '38 Collegiate lists no such option). We are confusing "saving" in that phrase with "savings" as in accumulated assets. Honorable mention goes to "in regards to" for in regard to, and "I could care less" for I couldn't care less. It's easy to see where these evolutions come from, but they are, strictly speaking, errors. (In a class by itself, pun intended, is "graduating college" for graduating from college. To graduate college, one would take a tape measure and mark gradations on the campus buildings.)
The Malapropism is the classic error. This has come to mean any misuse of a word or phrase, but it originally required an element of humor or absurdity. The term sprang from Mrs Malaprop, who is a character in Sheridan's 18th-century social satire The Rivals. The work is filled with her namesakes, as when she describes her niece, Lydia Languish, as being as "headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile." (Bonus irony: Miss Languish's name is, itself, allegorical.) An ex-neighbor of mine said that he was going to get an "activity scene" for his front yard for Christmas, and a contestant on The Newlywed Game said "crouch" for crotch and "groan" for groin.
Evolved Malapropisms are my favorite category of misuse, in which an archaic and unknown word or phrase is inadvertently replaced with a more contemporary substitute. Thus, although they were created via a lack of knowledge, they go viral and actually make more sense in the 21st century than the originals. Here are some of my favorite evolved malapropisms:
Bald-faced lie has been replaced by "bold-faced lie." No one knows the term bald-faced anymore, whereas everyone knows "bold-faced," thanks to computers. And the original intent is still there.
To set foot (as in a room) has been replaced with "to step foot." This is a pretty old one, especially in the South. I used to hear it growing up in Oklahoma.
Champing at the bit is now "chomping at the bit." To champ means to work the jaws together noisily, but who knows that? (If we're going to evolve this one, however, we should insert the right preposition, viz, "chomping on the bit.")
I am hearing "wreck havoc" more and more in place of wreak havoc, and then, to confuse the issue even more, a Star Tribune writer quoted an unhappy citizen as saying, "This whole thing wreaks of wrongness." Wright on.
A moot point is often called a "mute point," which actually works: imagine two people who, having argued an issue into the ground, simply look at each other silently and shrug.
Here are more:
Buck naked is now "butt naked;" to all intents and purposes is now "to all intensive purposes;" to take a new tack is now to "take a new tact;" boon is now "boom," as in "this was a real boom to the economy;" a consultation is often now a "counseltation;" lackadaisical is now "laxadaisical;" chock full is now "chuck full;" and tenterhooks—as to be on tenterhooks—is now "tenderhooks."
The saving grace about all of these misuses is that the gist comes through loud and clear. We know what the local newscaster meant when she said a group of petty criminals "weren't the brightest knives in the drawer," and when someone in financial trouble says he'll have to "eke by this year," and when something is "on the up and out," and when someone gets "thrown for a curve." And we know what columnist Russ Douthat means when he writes that "President Obama is walking a fine tightrope," thus combining walking a fine line with walking a tightrope. If original intent is the goal, it's there, so sit back and enjoy the evolution.


The Rhythm hormone test is a comprehensive assessment of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone spanning a full 28 days.
No fasting required. Ship to lab Monday-Thursday only. Please read all of the directions and the collection procedures prior to starting test. Transdermal (cream) and sublingual bio-identical hormones may produce artificially high levels in the saliva that do not correlate with blood levels. This increase from cream hormones may last for weeks to months after discontinuing use. The following drugs, herbs and dietary supplements may influence levels of hormones reported in this test: ketoconazole, cimetidine (Tagamet), anastrozole (Arimidex), letrozole (Femara), exemestane (Aromasin), Chrysin, Apigenin, Tribulus terrestris, clomiphene, antiepileptics, digoxin, oral steroids (e.g. Prednisone), cortisone cream, and any steroid-based nasal sprays, inhalers, or eye drops. Check with physician before stopping medications.
7-10 days once the lab receives the specimen. May take longer based on weather, holiday or lab delays.
Hormone imbalances revealed in this hormone test profile can help illuminate root causes of disorders such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), infertility, and menstrual irregularities. This hormonal test analyzes 11 saliva samples over a 28–day period.
Saliva hormone testing provides a thorough analysis of estradiol and progesterone over a full 28-day cycle. Testosterone is measured once from the 28th-day specimen. By utilizing 11 saliva samples for analysis, the relationship and balance of these essential hormones are analyzed more precisely through time. The levels of estradiol and progesterone, as well as the ratio between the two, are clearly graphed for easy reference and patient education.
Unlike serum measurements that typically reflect both bound and unbound fractions of hormones, salivary samples represent only the free (unbound) bioavailable fraction of hormone. Factors that affect binding globulin such as obesity and thyroid function do not influence test results with false high or low test levels.
The Rhythm profile is a hormonal test indicated for both premenopausal and perimenopausal women not currently supplementing with hormones. An analysis of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can reveal ovulatory function and trends in hormone production. Hormonal imbalances such as unopposed estrogen, high follicular progesterone, anovulation and luteal phase defects are easily identified. This hormone test is especially useful in the treatment of patients with chronic gynecologic disorders.


January 28, 2017 - Does white balance affect RAW image data?
Short answer - No ( but it does affect most preview screens!). Allow me to explain more of what I've recently learned, my perception was pretty much right, but I learned some new things along the way!
Sorry... I digress, let's get back on theme ... does WB affect the RAW image file? No, it doesn't, but you must realize that your camera dispay, previewing software as well as editing software often create JPG thumbnails or use embedded data in the RAW file that contains the camera settings at the time of the shot. That means that they are generating a preview based on the JPG, not the RAW. I was able to adjust system settings within FastStone so that the preview window rendered the RAW data, rather than show me the out of balance JPG. Check out the two screen captures below.
Ok, so I think I get it Ralf... can you summarize already and come up with a quick and easy conclusion???
Notice the larger preview window on the left, the color balance is shifted into the green in our experiment - this is the JPG created by the camera and displayed by my favorite viewer, FastStone.
In this screen capture, notice that the preview of the RAW (CR2) file is close to "normal" in color balance. This is what the camera saw and recorded, even though the photographer chose the wrong white balance on purpose! The smaller thumbnial is based on the embedded JPG within the RAW file - it is out of color balance.
Conclusion: Your RAW image file is in it's native format, it is not affected by having the wrong white balance set, however it's embedded metadata is used by your camera display, previewing software, slideshow software and editing software. These will usually read the settings data and create a preview for you that looks like like the white balance setting your accidently used when you made the image.
Happy labor day to my US fans, enjoy the holiday!
This exposure was fast at about 1/640 I believe. The water doesn't blur.
Exposure was very slow, 1/2 second. Use a tripod or a fixed object to steady the camera!
(Left) Fast exposure: Shot at 1/640th of a second, this is what I consider a normal travel image, meaning most automatic cameras will capture this kind of shot. Looks fine!
(Right) Slow exposure: Shot at 1/2 of a second, this adds something different and hopefully desireable to your image, but be warned, if the camera shakes or moves, the image will be blurry - so use a tripod or at least rest the camera on a fixed object!
August 23, 2016 - Opportunity Knocks!
I'm excited, this is a really good thing!
May 30, 2016 - Why We Constantly Create Fresh Art!
Most important and first order of business today - I salute all veterans, but today specifically, those who gave their all for preserving freedom in our United States on this Memorial Day, 2016.
I'd like to share with you a photographic image I created for a talented artist, Kevin McMahon. This is one of his original oils on canvas, perfect for this special day.
We are a collection of citizens from every demographic, from every side of the spectrum, from all over the globe! Most of us came from somewhere else and were accepted and integrated into this amazing country. As a citizen, I don't have to agree with our leadership and the decisions our political leaders make all the time, but I do fully respect those who serve our country, have served our country and have given the ultimate sacrifice for this amazing collection of souls we call the "United States"! A humble and heartfelt "THANK YOU" on this Memorial Day.
This is a motivational blog post... it's about having a 'muse' or reason to make fresh images. It could be a stranger leaving an unexpected a great comment from the other side of the globe or a loved one who simply can't wait for the next image you make.
As a photographer, you may produce images that please yourself first - whether they were at someone elses request, or of your own creation - but regardless, you put your energy and soul into each final image. You hope that the image you created will be at least 'liked', maybe even loved.
Sometimes, we get into a rut, or are shooting so much that we cannot even keep up with post-processing. Know this - show off your work one way or another, someone somewhere is looking at it. Be passionate about your images, pour your heart into them, your audience will let you know and thank you for it.
We live in a free country thanks to brave men and women, now get out there and make them proud by creating images and art to share! Honor them.
For mother's day, I visited the family ranch near Mt. Palomar. It was a perfect spring day, so I decided to connect a single speedlight with a micro softbox to my lightweight travel tripod. Using a remote trigger, I started shooting angles of the blooming cactus flowers on the property, along with other interesting items that caught my eye. All of these shots were created using the same setup.
Notice the first image of the set - you can see the lighting rig and what the image looks like from that shot.
So what am I doing? Manual mode folks, both the camera and speedlight. The specific rig I used on this day was my 6D, Cowboy trigger and receiver, Yongnuo 560 II mounted on my lightweight Slik tripod.

Ayshford in spotlight for Tigers' NRL run
By David Beniuk 22/08/2011 06:42:06 PM Comments (0)
Wests Tigers centre Blake Ayshford says stepping up in the absence of Test star Chris Lawrence is the secret to his scintillating NRL form.
Ayshford bagged a double in the Tigers' impressive 31-12 disposal of Parramatta at the Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday, shrugging off Eels superstar Jarryd Hayne with ease to get his second.
The rangy 23-year-old plays on the opposite side to Lawrence, who will be sidelined until the finals with a hamstring injury, but has been determined to make the Tigers' right side attack as lethal as their left.
He says he grabbed the extra responsibility when Lawrence was sidelined for three months with a dislocated hip.
"When he was out injured the first time, I took it upon myself to step up a bit," Ayshford told reporters on Monday.
"He's the go-to man and I sort of had to fill a big void in the backline.
"Yesterday was just some lucky handles but I've tried to step my game up with Chrissy on one side to try and have two strike weapons."
Ayshford's form has been a major part of the Tigers' charge towards the top four with six straight wins, but he said he still had a way to go.
"I'm still a bit inconsistent with some defence. I'm in and out of games a bit," he said.
"I've had a couple more highlights than other years which I'm proud of but there's still a long way to go."
The arrival of Joel Reddy from Parramatta next year will mean a battle for centre spots at the Tigers and Ayshford admits he has thought about the possibility of a return to the back row, where he played as a junior.
"I spoke to the coach about that," he said. "The back row may be (my position) in the future.
"Hopefully, I'll stay in the centres for the next couple of years. I really want to cement a spot there.
"But if it means I have to move to the back row for the team, then that's what I'll do."
The Tigers are likely to be boosted by the returns of internationals Lote Tuqiri (quad) and Gareth Ellis (groin) for Monday night's clash with Gold Coast at Campbelltown.
Veteran forward Todd Payten, who will play his last regular season home game for the club against the Titans, said the side had taken confidence out of Sunday's win without Ellis.
"Everyone stepped up in Gareth's absence," he said.
"Along with Chris Heighington and Bryce Gibbs, he's been our forward leader and consistently our best for a number of weeks now and to have him back this week is certainly a good thing."

Q: Two different types leading to the same instance in Unity Say, that I have a class:
class A : IInt {}

I'm registering the class in Unity:
container.RegisterType<A>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());

I'd like to register IInt to the same instance of A as if anyone asked for A itself. So for instance:
A a = container.Resolve<A>(); // Should return instance of A
IInt i = container.Resolve<IInt>(); // Should return THE SAME instance of A

This should work the same way even if above statements were reversed - first asking for IInt, then for A.
How can I do it in Unity?

A possible, but rather ugly solution:
A a = container.Resolve<A>(); // To resolve A's dependencies
container.RegisterInstance(a);
container.RegisterInstance<IInt>(a);

A: Unity will automatically deduplicate registrations on the background. This means that the following will yeild the expected results:
container.RegisterType<A>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());
container.RegisterType<IInt, A>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());

This will prevent the type's lifestyle from being torn.
Resolving both A and IInt will yield the same instance.
You should not go with your proposed solution, because this is a dangerous practice. You should never make any new registrations after you resolved from the container. This is a bad practice, since it can leads to all kinds of unwanted side effects and bugs, and is blocked by most DI Container because of that.
For instance, this article described the problems that are involved with this Register-Resolve-Register anti-pattern with Simple Injector, but you'll find the problems to be identical with any other DI Container, such as Unity.

BUA Gives N600m Interest-free Loan To 2,000 Kano Rice Farmers
Rice farmers under the auspices of Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) have assured Nigerians that by June; a 50kg bag of rice will sell at N10, 000. The national president of RIFAN, Aminu Goronyo, who gave this assurance, disclosed that the price slash is possible because rice farmers under the association now have direct access to fertiliser. "Fertiliser was a very big challenge, but today it has become history. We have signed MoU where the fertiliser is sold N5, 500 per bag as a government policy.
"We have already achieved rice sufficiency in the last two years because all the rice we eat is grown here in the country. With the government clampdown on the land borders and the high exchange rate, no importer can import rice for profit. I assure you in the next two months, a 50kg bag of rice will come down to N10, 000, as against the present price of between N17, 000 and N21, 000."
BUA Rice Milling Company, a subsidiary of BUA Group, in its commitment to boost domestic rice production, has disbursed a total of N600m interest-free loan to rice farmers in Kano State. In addition to the interest-free soft loan of N288, 000 each, improved seeds, fertilizers, pumping machines and other tools were distributed free to over 2,000 rice farmers in the state.
The occasion, which held in Imawa Village, Kura Local Council of Kano State, brought together rice farmers under the umbrella of RIFAN, Kano Chapter from Kano and Jigawa states.
In attendance to engage with the farmers and supervise the distribution of the farm inputs and tools was Kabiru Rabiu, the Group Executive Director (GED) of BUA Group, who expressed optimism on the mutual partnership between the rice farmers and BUA Rice Milling Company.
"Kano is one of the most potential states in the country for rice farming and BUA is happy to have successfully established a mutual benefitting partnership with the rice farmers," he said.
He added that the non-interest loan, which is directly from the company's capital, granted to the farmers, was BUA's gesture of encouraging the farmers to increase their yields and support government's plan towards diversifying the economy into agriculture.
As 2,000 beneficiaries were reached during this pilot phase, BUA is targeting 50,000 farmers to benefit from the scheme in the next four years with a target of a minimum of a million tonnes from Kano alone.

Lea DeLaria Doesn't Want To Be Called A Lesbian
Comedian-actor Lea DeLaria doesn't want to be called a "lesbian woman."
When comedian Jay Leno introduced DeLaria as a "lesbian woman" at the exclusive Hudson River Park Gala, DeLaria corrected him.
"You don't have to say lesbian woman," DeLaria shouted from the audience. "It's implied."
When Leno used the phrase a second time, DeLaria responded: "I am not a lesbian! I am a dyke! Get it right. I don't do that alphabet, LGBTQ thing. By the time you get to all of those letters, the parade is over."
The 60-year-old DeLaria, who is best know for playing inmate Carrie "Big Boo" Black on the Netflix dramedy Orange is the New Black, has previously said she prefers the term queer.
"Part of me believes that this inclusivity of calling us the LGBTQQTY – whatever – LMNOP tends to stress our differences, and that's why I refuse to do it. I say queer. Queer is everybody," she said in a 2016 interview.

Flow-Through Shares for Canada's Water CleanTech Sector
There is a significant opportunity in Canada to catalyze market-based solutions to address water challenges. Canadians are blessed with world-class scientific expertise, an entrepreneurial culture, and globally recognized capital markets. Yet, there is a gap in risk capital used to support innovation-focused businesses from start-up to maturity.
Addressing this gap could put Canada on track to deliver solutions to the important social challenges arising from water resource management, while assuming leadership in the innovation economy. A Canadian embrace of risk capital would translate into high quality jobs, a skilled work force, and economic growth.
Building on successes
Early-stage resource and development companies are similar to water technology start-ups in that both require the convergence of discovery, entrepreneurship, and risk capital to succeed. Yet, for the resource and development sector, the challenges in raising adequate capital were addressed when flow-through shares were introduced through the Income Tax Act approximately 50 years ago.
Flow-through shares are a successful made-in-Canada financial instrument that have enabled the Canadian resources industry to gain access to necessary growth capital. Flow-through shares have also positioned Canada's capital markets as global leaders in resource finance. This leadership has fostered a constellation of equipment and service providers, technical experts, finance professionals, and legal and professional advisors in Canada.
Many leaders in the business sector agree. Take the Coalition for Action on Innovation—a group of over 50 business and academic leaders in Canada—co-chaired by former Finance Minister John Manley and GlaxoSmithKline CEO Paul Lucas. In their Action Plan for Prosperity, published in October 2010, the Coalition said, "By any measure, the [flow-through shares] program has been a success; it has helped make Canada a global leader in resource financing." The report recommended extending flow-through shares to the innovation sector as one way of using fiscal stimulus to drive innovation.

Targeted spending
A company that issues flow-through shares to investors must spend the proceeds on prescribed qualifying expenditures. For the resources sector, the qualifying expenditures are exploration and development in Canada. These expenditures are renounced by the company in favour of the investor who is able to deduct the renounced expenditures against other income. In this way, the program has effectively reduced the risk of investment by approximately one-half.
The revenue cost to government as a result of these tax credits is more than recouped through a combination of (i) tax paid by the recipients of the qualifying expenditures such as employees, contractors, landlords, etc.; (ii) greater capital gains tax paid by investors as their flow-through shares have a cost of zero for tax purposes; (iii) a reduction in corporate tax loss carry forwards for companies that have renounced expenditures in favour of flow-through investors; and (iv) tax revenues resulting from ongoing employment and the other economic benefits of greater market activity.
There are few private sector studies on the effectiveness of flow-through shares, which is surprising given the program's endurance and the significant role it has played in growing the Canadian economy. However, two reports published in 1994 and 2013 by the Department of Finance found that flow-through shares, while not guaranteeing successful outcomes, did generate significant incremental spending on mining and petroleum exploration and benefited the economies of several provinces. Companies issued shares at premiums of 18–25 per cent and had issuance costs in line with the market for regular junior equity.
The cost to the government in foregone revenues averaged $440 million between 2007–2012, but this cost was triggered by over $1 billion in expenditures for equipment, salaries, etc. In fact, a 1997 Department of Natural Resource study found that every dollar of flow-through tax credit resulted in $2.60 of exploration spending. The program is very likely cash flow positive to government, while creating new jobs. Viewed this way, the program effectively redistributes money from high net worth investors to job seekers in an important sector, socially and economically.

A recent paper by Vijay Jog of the University of Calgary School of Public Policy found poor investment returns for flow-through investors between 2008–2012 and, from that, concluded that between the investor losses, cost to government, and the potential crowding out of investment in other sectors, flow-through shares do more harm than good. While Jog surmises that poor investor returns imply poor sector performance and misguided government intervention, the evidence indicates the opposite: industry success despite poor investor returns. Poor investment returns are a reflection of the risk profile, which is the rationale for the tax credit support.
As we have seen in Silicon Valley, areas where risk capital is available will draw innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors. In turn, these centres will draw new talent, build intellectual capital, and grow a self-reinforcing cluster of high-quality jobs. A recent Bloomberg article reported that the San Francisco, New York, and Boston metropolitan areas account for two-thirds of U.S. venture capital funding. This figure increases to almost three-quarters when you add in Los Angeles.
Extending flow-through shares to Canada's water technologies sector could open the door to the private sector funding needed to commercialize important discoveries. The government can target how flow-through funding is spent by defining the qualifying expenditures. Because the investment decision rests with the investor who is at risk for one-half of the cash outlay, the investment decision is a disciplined one. This makes it easier for the government to administer and removes the task of picking winners.
We have a unique opportunity to marry a proven, successful financing tool to world-class science and entrepreneurial leadership. Through market innovation, we can accelerate the development of new technologies in areas such as water, where we have a natural advantage.

Not wanting to pack up while the awning was sopping wet, we stayed an extra day at The Walled Garden, taking a trip into Ayr (via a rather circuitous route of 36 miles for a 12 mile round trip, thanks to some creative navigation by Vic). In Ayr it tipped it down with rain once more, so we sought refuge in a Chinese restaurant for dinner. When the rain had stopped we headed back to the van which was parked on the seafront and indulged in an ice cream.


Any parent reading this can sympathise with the amount of work that goes into sorting out kids clothes and how quickly they grow out of things. Not to mention how many times they need changing in one day for one reason or another. Our children are growing at a rate so fast that I honestly can't keep up with sorting out their drawers. Jam packed full of baby-grows and t-shirts that barely fit over their head.
After our first son was born, we thought it would be a good idea to hold onto his clothes in case another one came along. Rightly so, another one did come along... but it only meant that we were given more clothes as gifts, forgetting what we had in storage we would buy new bits and pieces, we got more hand me downs from family friends and it has basically meant that our house/shed/garage has been overrun by kids clothes. I could be a normal person and dump everything that we are not currently using at a charity shop but well that is not in my blood. I am a hoarder.
I decided to start tackling this problem. I didn't want to be one of those messy hoarders you see on TV. I am far more organised than that. Every 2 months, I spend an afternoon folding, pressing and vacuum packing their clothes into storage bags and throwing out anything thats soiled or stained.These vacuum pack bags then get added to what I call my secret storage cage (we have one of those clever beds with storage underneath). I found that putting them in clear containers outside in our garage was causing them to rot and smell. Well now this 'secret storage' is full.
Could there be a chance of baby number 3 you ask? Well sure, certainly not now but I most definitely cannot bear to hold onto all these childrens clothes. I will of course save what I have for Oscar to grow into but I have decided to make 3 piles in my efforts to reduce clutter in our life!
Sentimental babygrows and babyclothes from both boys. These will be kept aside so that I can either A. keep them for when my boys eventually have kids. (Unlikely option if my husband has anything to do with it - he hates my hoarding ways) or B send them to the guys at LoveKeepCreate and get a cuddly toy for each of the boys to keep.
DIY scrap material ideas. Have had a few DIY ideas and would love to share some upcycling posts over the next few months.
To be sent to @helprefugeesuk and the British Red Cross. I am packing all my warm knitted jumpers, and coats to go to the refugees in Calais and camps around Europe. There are mothers who are desperate to keep their small children warm in this harsh winter and these jackets and jumpers are doing no good under my bed.
Ahh I already feel so much better. Maybe I need to start doing this to my wardrobe too.
Would love to know if any of you have successfully upcycled any of your kids clothes? Do you have a preference when it comes to charity shops or are you like me and hoard everything?
There is moms in which are worried to continue most of the young children snug in that extreme wintry and additionally all of these short coat and additionally jumpers really are going through basically no wonderful using great under-structure.
Reese, who hails from Detroit, is one of Michelle Obama's favored designers, she has been photographed in her clothes some 20 to 30 times. But unlike some past wives of presidents who favoured one or two big-name designers, Michelle Obama has spread her fashion choices among a huge stable of cheap toms shoes them often promoting lesser-known names, and taking care to promote American designers at such high-profile events as inaugurations, conventions and state dinners. Which is why so many designers ralph lauren outlet and industry watchers will miss her when she steps away from her post after eight fashion-conscious years, and why they consider her one of the most influential first ladies in fashion, perhaps even more so than Jacqueline Kennedy, because of her broad appeal.

Sub: Promotion and Transfer policy for Secretariat Staff.
The Present system of considering promotion of employees under Common Cadre Wing is on quarterly basis. The promotion is awarded with retrospective effect, due to which many vacancies remain unfilled for some time. This causes difficulty in functioning of many departments/ offices. It is essential to have employees with exposure to different departments of Government to enable them to develop personally and professionally. Accordingly a new promotion and transfer policy is being adopted for employees under Common Cadre Wing.
The Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department will adopt the following policy in respect of transfer of employees under Common Cadre Wing on promotion with effect from 1 April, 2012 in modification of its existing policy continuing since 1999.
A. Promotions orders for the posts of Upper Division Assistants/ Head Assistants/ Section Officers/ typist Grade-1/ Typist Supervisor Grade/ Typist Senior Supervisor Grade would henceforth be issued on monthly basis.
B. On promotion to higher posts, the employees would be transferred to other departments/ offices from the existing ones, where from they are promoted.
C. If equivalent posts are not available in other departments/ offices in a particular calendar month, the employees will be promoted in situ and transferred to other departments/ offices in the subsequent cycle of promotion next month.
D. If the concerned employee is due to retire within one year, efforts would be made to accommodate him in the same department.
E. The proposals or prayers for transfer from Salt Lake to B.B.D. Bag area and vice versa shall be considered on the basis of date of receipt of application forwarded through proper channel in the Common Cadre Wing. The employees, who are physically challenged or seriously ill may deserve special consideration in this regard.
F. If the services of certain employees are considered to be essentially required for administrative reasons only, the Departmental Secretary may send comprehensive proposal with reasons for reversion of such employees to the earlier department in exceptional cases to the Cadre Controlling Authority for consideration. In such cases of reversion, the tenure of employee in the said department shall not exceed 12 years under any circumstances.
G. The Departments would be required to send a declaration by the employee in prescribed format giving his willingness/ unwillingness for promotion along with other records before the order of promotion is issued. The employees who forego promotion would be debarred from further promotion for a period of one year.
H. The Chief Minister's Office and the Chief Secretary's Office would be exempted from the above policy.
As far as I know there is 5:4:1 promotion policy out of ten typist.
Is there any government G.O.(s) for a single post of Typist in a district so that the said Typist will get promotional benefit or any other financial benefit except C.A.S.? I am a Typist, work performing through Computer since 2002 but the employees junior than me from other cadre viz LDC, UDCs are getting more benefit financially. Its amazing, government does not looking into the matter, however price index gradually increasing and the pay structure not yet to update for the sake of Typist (single post). Please clarify! Or the matter may please be moved to the government.
Why not promotion or Cadre Change of Typist in regional level same as Secretariat or Directorate Level. Where is under Directorate of Employment Sanctioned Post is 140. No Senior Suversisory (Typist) Post is sanctioned under the Directorate of Employment. Typist Post under Regional Level and Typist of Secretariat & Directorate Level are not same ? Why this different type of promotion & Cadre Change Policy maintained by the Govt. of West Bengal.
why no promotion at school level clerk.
