The Commission found that most of its recommendations have been followed in American law and/or policy. For several examples, the U. S. has federalized airport security, tightened security at our ports of entry, spent hundreds of billions of dollars improving anti-terrorist intelligence gathering and sharing, considerably diminished Al Qaeda's terrorist leadership, and prevented another attack on the scale of 9/11 within U. S. borders. America has undeniably made notable advances in its war against terrorism.
Even as the U. S. made important gains, the world became a more dangerous place. The first report stressed the importance of eliminating terrorist "sanctuaries," geographic areas in which terrorist groups can assemble, teach, train and plot more comprehensive attacks. Nevertheless, even as Al Qaeda has been diminished, associated terrorist groups have grown and now operate in at least 16 countries, a greater number of areas than were involved years ago. The "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) is one of the strongest groups and controls large geographic areas in Iraq and Syria. Furthermore, there are legitimate concerns that Afghanistan will revert to providing such sanctuaries after most American troops leave in 2014. While Middle Eastern terrorist groups sometimes fight each other and focus on other targets, they are united in their common hatred of the United States and may still attack our embassies, military bases and businesses in other countries.
Even as the world became a more dangerous place, the United States is less capable of meeting the danger in some respects. We reportedly have and/or commit too few resources to fighting cyber-terrorism, underestimate the danger of emerging terrorist groups and individuals at home and abroad, are too lax in supervision of the National Security Agency (NSA) and have seen a serious reduction in new recruits for the NSA. In addition, the Commission urges Congress to reduce its 92 committees and subcommittees overseeing the Department of Homeland Security and/or assign a single committee to that task, and update the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force to increase Congress' involvement in fighting terrorist threats.
Reminding readers that "a period of quiet can be shattered in a moment by a devastating attack," the Commission praises some progress while urging even greater vigilance and dedication to countering terrorism in an increasingly threatening world.

Migrating an organization to continuous integration requires adoption new processes, tools, and automation. DevOps relies on dramatic culture change to encourage total transparency and collaboration among all project stakeholders.
The growth of automation testing in today's software development organizations is changing the way we test applications.
Many testers just don't plain get listened to. Management doesn't seem to listen despite you having a really good idea on how to reduce costs without reducing quality.
Throughout the years, Lightning Talks have been a popular part of the STAR conferences.
The cognitive skills of testing are being threatened by two major forces: the assumption that automation can replace all other forms of testing, and the acceptance of lower quality by consumers.
Most fairy tales start out with a scary premise and move to a happy ending. Lately, we have heard lots of scary stories about the future of testing.
Retrospectives empower teams to learn and improve. But many teams fail to reach their true learning potential. Ryan was part of a team that held retrospectives for a year and a half to fix one line of code.
As agilists, we know the importance of open, candid feedback for agile teams to be continuously improving.
Agile and Scrum Teams are self-organizing and self-managing. As a line manager, what's left to do? Traditionally, managers are responsible for the output of their teams.
Let's try an experiment. Rather than trying to figure out what you need or want to hear from a keynote, we propose your taking over as the product owner and driving the discussion?

Q: Semantic zoom controls for WPF? WinRT/Metro is getting a new SemanticZoom control, but I'm having a hard time finding anything for WPF.
I don't want to switch to Metro for my particular project, because it doesn't allow me to make windowed apps or multiple instances across multiple monitors.
Are there any third party semantic zoom controls for WPF?

A: I know your asking for controls, but you could also use the ZoomableCanvas Code as a basis for your own implementation of semantic zoom. I've planned to implement this for a timeline project myself and maybe add it on CodeProject.

Income Funds: Advantages and Disadvantages of Investing in them.
admin | January 6, 2023
Income funds are becoming increasingly popular as an investment option, but is it right for you? Read on to explore the potential benefits and downsides of investing in these funds.
Investing in income funds can provide investors with a steady stream of income and potential tax benefits. However, it also carries some risks that must be carefully weighed before investing. Read on to learn more about the potential advantages and disadvantages of investing in income funds.
What are Income Funds?
Income funds are a type of investment designed to provide investors with a steady stream of income, typically through monthly or quarterly distributions. These funds invest in quality bonds and dividend-producing stocks, allowing for more consistent returns than traditional stock-only investing. Typically, the income generated from these investments is taxed at lower rates than ordinary income.
Types of Income Funds
1. Bond Funds
As the name suggests, bond funds are a type of income fund specializing in government and corporate bond investments. Investors are attracted to government bonds because they hold practically no risk and act as a safe haven for individuals looking for a safe option. Due to risk reduction, such types of bonds offer lower dividend yields compared to corporate bonds.
As for corporate bonds, on the other hand, investors are attracted to them because they offer higher yields to make up for the additional risk that is given to the investor.
2. Equity Income Funds
An equity income fund is a type of income fund that invests in dividend-paying stocks from organizations. It is aimed at investors who would like to receive anticipated monthly income from their dividend-paying portfolio.
3. Money Market Funds
A money market fund is a form of an income fund that invests in certificates of deposits (CDs) commercial papers, and short-term Treasury bills.
Although they do not carry federal deposit insurance coverage as most bank products do, money market funds provide a very safe option to investors through lower yield rates.
4. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a legal entity that owns real estate investments, such as housing, commercial office buildings, retail locations, and hotels.
The primary advantage of a REIT income fund is to realize the advantages of real estate ownership without actually having to own and maintain the property.
Advantages of Investing in an Income Fund.
Investing in an income fund can provide investors with a number of long-term advantages. First and foremost, these funds offer stability and high liquidity, as they are invested in high-quality bonds and dividend stocks that typically generate steady returns over time. Investors may also enjoy the benefit of lower taxes on the income generated by these investments, as well as diversification benefits given the wide range of companies and sectors included in an average income fund.
Disadvantages of Investing in an Income Fund.
One of the main drawbacks to investing in an income fund is that its returns are typically significantly lower than those generated by other types of investments. Additionally, many funds have higher fees and other costs associated with them which can reduce investors' overall returns. Lastly, income funds lack transparency, as it is sometimes difficult for investors to truly understand all the underlying investments being made.
How to Evaluate Risk when Investing in Income Funds.
When considering income investments, it is important to evaluate the level of risk associated with each fund. For example, some funds may invest in government bonds and fixed-income instruments which are generally considered conservative investments and provide relatively low returns. Alternatively, other funds may include more aggressive investments such as stocks or real estate, which may offer higher returns but also come with greater risk. Evaluating the structure and contents of each fund is key to understanding the overall risk profile of an income fund before investing.
Tips for Maximizing Returns From Your Investment In An Income Funds.
When investing in income funds, there are a few important steps you can take to maximize returns. Firstly, diversify your portfolio by including multiple types of income funds with varying levels of risk. Secondly, research the fund's history and make sure to read up on its past performance. Finally, consider the size of each fund when deciding how much you should allocate toward it. By following these tips, investors can ensure that their income funds provide maximum benefit for their goals.

MCM Scotland 2019 - Dragon Ball Super Voice actors Interview
Written by Robert Mullarkey on 30 Sep 2019
At MCM Scotland we sat down with three voice actors from Dragon Ball Super to talk about Dragon Ball and anime voice acting
Jason Douglas - JD (Beerus – Dragon Ball Super)
Jason Liebrecht - JL (Champa – Dragon Ball Super)
Ian Sinclair - IS (Whis – Dragon Ball Super)
UKA – Welcome to Scotland, How do you like Glasgow so far:
JD – Having a great time, The guys here have spent more time than I have as I got in yesterday. Great city.
IS – Absolutely, Super friendly people.
JL – Beautiful Architecture, I took a walk in the University. Which is really incredible. You feel like you're in another era.
UKA – [Dragon Ball] is one of the most recognisable anime ever, How does it feel to be a part of a franchise that is known by both anime fans and those who don't generally watch it?
JL – Honestly it's a tremendous honour. Unlike Ian I didn't watch it when I was a kid but I definitely heard about it. I think I was a little bit too old for it. I did have my anime obsessions back in the day. It was the film Akira, Star blazers. Those were my two biggest anime until Princess Mononoke. I also really love that too. Honestly to be part of such a storied franchise it's just an honour to have a character that continues. To have an arc of a character. I've been a few characters in it but Super is when I got to hang out for more than a handful of episodes or a film and I just feel very lucky to be involved at all.
JD – It's also very well written and it's so great to be part of a show that has such a great team behind it producing it. Every line is choice. All the dialogue is very crisp and it's very fun for an actor.
JL – I think that we have the unique vantage point that from our characters; that what we do is comedic. All three of us. I think that makes our interactions when I get to play off you (Jason Douglas) and have these brotherly arguments, It's hilarious to me and a lot of fun.
IS – Like Jason said I've been watching since I was a kid so honour really is the best way to put it. If you are of a certain age and voice actor in Dallas it is the dream to get to be a part of Dragon Ball, while most of us thought it would never happen again.
JL - It was right place right time Kind of like the original actors.
UKA - Speaking of right place right time from today's earlier panel it seemed like luck plays a part would you say that right place, right time plays a big part.
JL – I do think so. At least in our stories in what we went through in our panel earlier on today, I feel that it definitely played a part as we distinctly in the right place right time for all of us. In the start. After that I feel like you have to have the skill set to continue to be cast and to continue to be viable in the particular acting context.
IS - Luck can only get you so far and then talent is the only way you can get any further work. That's why sometimes you get flashes in the pan. I think the three of us are of the same old actor mindset that this a long journey that we're all on.
JD – There's a maxim that luck is the meeting of preparation with opportunity so without one you really don't get beyond that. Without both of those pieces being there, the more prepared you are the more you're able to take advantage of those opportunities when they are presented so I have great reverence to the craft of acting when it's well done. I think a lot of the casting choice that are made particularly with regard to this show (Dragon Ball Super) are very careful. I think they've realised there is a legacy that we need to continue to uphold. We want to honour that as well as the fans who have been with the show for all of these years.
UKA – Definitely. Luck is one thing but hard work is really what gets you opportunities. With regards to voice acting in general what would you say is the role you've had to put the most work in to make sure you delivered a great performance.
JL – For me, when you're acting without all your weapons, we trying to communicate so much, with the help of an animated image obviously. But you're trying to do so much and that can be challenging, Especially when it gets to be something emotional or it needs to be truthful and there are anime out there that require a more naturalistic/realistic tone. To really succeed at that. That's really challenging without all your weapons.
UKA – From that would you say it's more interesting or fun to voice a character that requires to sound more realistic than one that can be exaggerated and over the top?
IS – I love stuff like that. Over the top crazy is the most fun for me. Frankly for the most fun characters are the ones whom have lower stakes than anyone else. Everything matters so much more to everyone else around them. Those to me are the most fun as those characters more chaotically go out and have a great time. In the booth you get to be that. Any joyous fun thing like that you get to actually live that in the booth. If you have a rage filled character there will be a time in your day when you will feel deep rage within your body.
JD – I think the medium itself lends itself more to over the top portrayals and over the top story arcs with slightly more dramatic situations. Things we may not buy as well if they were live action which I think is very difficult to take anime then make it live action. So much of what we expect from a story like that is made possible by the medium. The fact that it's drawn in a certain style gives us expectations when we begin watching it. The slightly fantastical situations, characters that wear their emotions on their sleeve and we as actors still try to find the truth in those things but I think the challenge is maybe to commit one hundred percent to those kinds of characters and situations. We've all played characters in shows that are dry and I love those shows. There was one called Yugo the negotiator, who is a hostage negotiator and he is straight and dry as you can get. Again I love the show but it's not necessarily going to be a memorable performance, again it's because it's much flatter and you can't convey like you can in live action. If you think something the camera picks it up on your face without saying anything. We don't have that tool.
JL – Thats kind of what I was talking about with the challenge of these more naturalistic shows. With those I have the different view point of whats exciting and fun for. With a show like Eden of the East where I do think that would translate really well to live action or Orange, a show that dealt with suicide and it was naturalistic performances across the board and we had to communicate this really intensely emotional stuff but again without all of our tools. If you can do that, to me that is tremendously exciting. If you can feel that stuff. That's awesome.
UKA – Anime is slightly different to other medium as there's someone before hand who has already voiced the character before you. The gap in time difference has been disappearing recently with the rise of simuldubs. But there is still a fan expectation for characters to sound similar in both English and Japanese. Does that play any part in how you approach a character?
JL – It depends on the director. I've definitely been in things were they want us to go further away from the initial translation to make it more culturally relevant. That said we still, even with the simuldubs, listen to the Japanese performer and get an idea of what the tone was. Whether we stick with that, that depends on the director and you and what we are looking for. A lot of the time they'll want something that fits us.
JD – I would say just a general no on the idea of are we ever asked to emulate what the Japanese voice actor is like. If there is something we're uncertain about we might get a sense of "thats what he did" but I don't recall ever being told to mimic the Japanese voice actor. Most of us are cast for what we bring. It's not because we sound like a Japanese actor for the most part.
IS – You're right it is director by director. I've had some that have literally told me don't watch the show, I want to create this thing with you and I don't want you to get any ideas. I've had another one that's said for the first five to ten episodes of being this character I want you to be as close to the Japanese and possible then relax that into your own performance. It absolutely depends on the director.
JL – Also in the case of something like Dragon Ball Super we all had to be approved by the Japanese as well as the American production teams. In that instance I do feel like they were looking for a similar vocal range or performance and in that sense I would say there are similarities between my Champa and the original Seiyu's Champa. I would dare say you(Jason Douglas) and the original Seiyu's performance and also with you(Ian Sinclair) So that is an exception. I think we stick more closely to it. Not necessarily in the performance itself but in the initial casting if that makes sense.
UKA – Thank you for talking with us.
JD, JL, IS – Thank you. It was very nice to meet you.

After 1972 Scientology was taken over and falsified
Posted on 14. November 2015 17. May 2016 by Andreas Gross
CIA-FBI-NSA
L. Ron Hubbard's life's work was the development of Dianetics and Scientology – a gift to humanity on earth to free itself from suppression and the reactive bank.
For decades, Ron had been persecuted and hated because of that by the power tools of the self-proclaimed "elite" and ruling families. At the end of the 50s, after machinations by CIA and FBI, he left the USA and spread his movement of freedom in the remaining English-speaking world: Australia, Ireland, England, Scotland and South Africa. With lies and legal attacks and infiltration in the 1960s, Scientology and he personally were tried to be pushed back out of these countries or to stop the movement or steer it into the wrong direction (quickie grade). So he founded the Sea Org in order to restore Ethics, Tech and Admin in the Orgs worldwide from a mobile command center.
While he was able to establish a secure base in Morocco in 1972 with the help of the local government, the former colonial power of France had issued an international arrest warrant via Interpol for L. Ron Hubbard for alleged fraud. When LRH flew to the US within hours due to this on December 3, 1972, in order to defend himself in this matter – which the former basis for operation at sea made impossible – he was taken into custody by US agents at the New York airport and taken into a secret US prison as an enemy of the state, without the chance of a fair hearing and trial. He has been missing ever since.
In the following months of 1973, his friends and family made the fatal mistake of hiding his disappearance by publishing writings in his name in order to keep his audience in line and also in hope of him reappearing somehow. The US state power used this situation and, in September 1973, sent a doppelganger among the Scientologists, who isolated himself from everybody and only showed himself from afar here and there. But this doppelganger was not good enough to deceive old friends and family, which is why they were put out of the way by means of mission tasks or RPF. He also did not look similar enough to be shown to the wide public, neither via a photograph nor video. Moreover, there have not been any lectures since 1973 which "LRH" would have held before the public. Only a few and obviously manipulated concoctions from a studio.
In 1976, Hubbard's designated successor – his son Quentin, class XII auditor and C/S – was murdered. In 1977, his wife Mary-Sue Hubbard (as guardian of Scientology) and 10 other leaders of the Guardian Office were arrested by the FBI, sued and, for the most part, sentenced. The international umbrella and management organization HASI was dissolved via a court decision. It is said that Hubbard is in hiding to get away from a similar arrest warrant. This way, the doppelganger can disappear and, later on, he was supposedly seen only by a small number of people.
In January 1978, a law office contacted the Church as a "representative of L. Ron Hubbard, the author" and has since taken control over Scientology. They claimed Ron had been hiding due to the current criminal charge and they would represent him in his absence. The very young David Miscavige who is completely untrained in Tech and Admin gets established as a puppet in the key position between the "hidden Hubbard" and his Church of Scientology by the instigators of the takeover team. Since then, he has maintained his ground as Hubbard's voice and interpreter.
This is how telex directives were used to establish an RTRC, a team of technologically highly-trained auditors under the leadership of David Mayo who was made Snr C/S. Since the 1970s, this team has been doing extensive works of writings in LRH's name and rewritten Scientology's Tech and policy: substantial suspension of Dianetics and the Clearing Course and, finally, the OT levels. In the 80s, the bridge is unrecognizable, the entry routes into Scientology have been destroyed because new people are unwanted.
I don't want to say that you cannot have huge gains as a Scientology student nowadays: insights, rising of the emotional level, freeing of compulsions, fears or worries, tools for the workplace or a saved marriage or company. Even today LRH's writings offer plenty of insights and possibilities that reward the effort 1000-times for every reader. But these gains are only a small fraction of the full potential of the original bridge: The former HAS-Co-Auditing gave completely new people basically those gains within a few evenings which, in the best case, may nowadays be bought for thousands of dollars at the HGC – assuming there are still auditors to be found for that. The Clearing Course Clear is such a stable and highly tonal condition that only people with temporary release conditions are able to guess the value. Delivery of the real OT levels IV to VII has been fully removed because a being, which is fully aware on the exterior and has control over matter, energy, time, shape and life as a spiritual being, will be deemed by the "elite" and its government bodies an absolute threat and state enemy, while remaining indestructible.
In 1982, Scientology's power structures were fully reorganized by the takeover team. They put four more levels above Int Management – the highest command level as established by LRH: WDC, CMO Int, RTC and finally CST, the US government agency controlling the RTC and Scientology. In order to keep Scientology's life blood at a minimum, now that tech and admin and ethics have been rewritten, the movement was split during a mission holder meeting: By means of thousands of SP declares against the best and most contributive Scientologists, mission holders, FSMs and leaders, the freezone was created which, of course, the takeover team is not leaving to its own according to the concept of divide-and-rule: As long as the freezone is sticking to the changed bridge of 1982, Scientology remains as toothless here as in the Church: it can no longer truly lead people to freedom nor can it guarantee stable gains due to obliteration. The split of the Scientology movement is a group engram which cannot be expunged as long as the early beginnings of the takeover and the absence of LRH since 1972 have not been faced.
So since 1982 there have been two neutered Scientology movements that not only want to fight each other as the biggest enemies but also trump each other in how to change and squirrel Tech and Admin and Ethics even more. The start-up path in the Church is becoming increasingly longer: a dozen of extensive courses "in the style of the golden age of Tech", which have to be studied prior to the academy, including degradation and decertification of the old auditors, lead to a condition in which hardly anyone audits anymore due to a lack of auditors. – The FreeZone represents the other side of the same coin: Auditing is being put on the market promiscuously and offered as junk without qualified training, OT and solo levels are cheap and often heavily falsified due to insufficient training so that the real bridge is being withheld from the audience. Of course they made sure that the degradations of Dianetics and the removal of the clearing course and OT levels from the 70s would not be corrected in the freezone either. Government agents, who have established themselves as opinion leaders of the scene and quickly silenced every competitor unanimously, make sure of that.
In 1986, the death of L. Ron Hubbard was staged, however, family and other relatives were never shown the body. The strange events regarding the death certificate made clear that it couldn't have been the dead body of Hubbard. This show can only be a diversion for the fact that Ron had no longer had access to the public (or vice versa) since 1972.
Contrary to different propaganda reminding of the success messages of previous press organs from the Eastern bloc, Scientology has been on a descending path ever since the takeover. There are hardly any new auditors being trained, the old ones either die or are shoved to side beforehand. It is spreading – if at all anymore – only on the surface: Instead of HAS-Co-Auditing teams, yellow-dressed, volunteering chaplains of the Church of Scientology travel the world and help in regions of disaster or teach little kids in Africa how to read and write. Everyone in this world "knows" Scientology nowadays, but only as a group of crazies who expose themselves to "brain washing and financial exploitation by a totalitarian management." In the best case Scientology is associated with Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta, thus, a service only decadent multi-millionaires can afford. Due to millions of disappointed members whom the real gains were refused, negative word-of-mouth propaganda about Scientology spread and offered the mass media's press campaigns a solid ground. Nowadays, only 2-3% of the former membership remained in the Church and demonstrates the change from a freedom movement to a sect. Orders to separate destroy families and friendships and create resentment of a high degree in the remaining membership. These feelings of resentment and long-lasting financial problems caused by excessive harrowing (?) prevent the last possible gains from the key out processes that may still be available.
Membership figures in the freezone – just like in the Church – have been dropping for decades so that the next generation is expected to be nothing but extravagant buildings owned and controlled by US government agencies like CST and RTC in order to increase illegal earnings of controlled intelligence non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The planetary expansion of the Church of Scientology by volunteering chaplains, ABLE, Narconon, Criminon and occasional Dianetics missions in so-called frontier areas, such as the BRICS states, has been helping US intelligence agencies since the 80s to enter countries that other US NGOs were not able to gain a foothold in. Additionally, the members of the central Orgs in Europe and the US are happy about this "immense expansion and demand" which they have been missing in their own environment for a long time. Thus, keeping hope for Scientology's survival alive. In the west, however, a toothless Scientology – which no longer audits effectively, thus leaving the reactive mind untouched, and no longer produces real Clears and OTs, but instead studies theory ("The BASICS") for the most part or, as in the freezone, replaces the auditor's training with "discussions about Scientology's aspects in news groups" – serves a similar purpose as the Freemasons' lodges centuries ago: a reservoir for critical spirits, free thinkers and intelligent freedom fighters controlled by secret service circles: here they can continue their education infinitely and will ineffectively be kept busy and can possibly be recruited for power preservation projects of the "elite": without pay and without insight into their true purpose.
As grim as this "long-lasting danger condition" may look – if it continues like this, the next generation of Scientology will not survive – the Persian idiom fits well: "When night is darkest, day will come."
If enough Scientologists see through these intrigues, i.e. shine light on the group engram, recognize the early beginning in 1972 and accept and rehabilitate the gift to humanity by L. Ron Hubbard, then the entire effort by secret service circles (to completely and finally destroy Scientology over the course of four decades in a subtle way and with substantial use of manpower) will be finally destroyed. Compared to previous liberation movements, such as Buddhism, Christianity and also Freemasonry, we don't need to speculate about how the chaff of wrong ideas had to be separated from the wheat of truth because the original scripts are no longer available. In our case of Scientology, a movement of the last century, we fortunately have access to several original pieces of work by L. Ron Hubbard: the old Red and Green Volumes (disregarding all revisions and editions since December 4, 1972), the books, original LRH lectures and even the original versions of the OT levels, which were confidential but not secret. This means there are still copies of the 1960's originals to be found in older generations and their heirs.
The understanding of LRH being arrested on December 3, 1972, and "virtually being kept alive" (so that the takeover team was able to gain about a decade's time to distort his works so that it became practically void) by doppelgangers, RTRC, CST, RTC and many forgeries and verbal data and frauds, such as wrong reports, allows for a full rehabilitation of Scientology. Humanity is in a finely spun trap, however, Ron has given us his life's work to find a way out of this trap.
Let us finally use the full potential of the Scientology Tech, Admin and Ethics!

As a student of human behavior, (as we all are to varying personal degrees and especially for the understanding of the compulsive coercion and forwarding of group goals as directed by the ruling elite) I find this summary of the life and works of L. Ron Hubbard disturbing but worthy of being deemed factual.
The hidden vested interest is without doubt the most destructive and powerful force of organised humanity. Unfortunately history is littered with examples of its destructiveness and its intent is always evil and always secret. It could be suggested misery and despair are the resultant long term products of all organised activities of governments and other dictatorships; it is similar to the end product of any infantryman of any army, in any time period – sorrow!
I found Charles de Gaulle to have succinctly stated a few relevant comments about the way humanity behaves.
"In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?"
"You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination," and also;
"I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French."
The destruction of Scientology is a heinous crime of which mankind should be extremely ashamed, but through the valiant efforts of a few, the light of truth is kept shining, albeit just a flicker.

'Shakespeare In Love' director John Madden is in Jaipur again to shoot for a sequel of the successful Hollywood flick, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
In 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' sequel Richard Gere and Lilette Dubey is being cast and most of the shooting will be in parts of Jaipur and its outskirts.
"There is a schedule in Udaipur too – we will go there after the Jaipur schedule is over," said a source, adding, "Most of the cast is in Jaipur, from Judy Dench to Bill Nighy.
Richard Gere is also scheduled to be here any day." Indian sound designer Resul Pookutty was also associated with the film initially, but had to pull out, for, as he said, "personal reasons".

Semnan Missile Complex
Missile-Production
The Semnan Missile Complex includes a ballistic missile test range and production facility reportedly built with substantial Chinese assistance. 1 Iran began producing the Oghab unguided artillery rocket at Semnan in 1987 with the goal of producing 600 to 1,000 such rockets per year. 2 The plant also produces the solid-fueled artillery rocket Nazeat, Shahab-I missiles, and might be involved in the production of Zelzal rockets. 3 The Iranian Space Center and associated launch facilities are located in the vicinity of the site.
Ballistic missile
A delivery vehicle powered by a liquid or solid fueled rocket that primarily travels in a ballistic (free-fall) trajectory. The flight of a ballistic missile includes three phases: 1) boost phase, where the rocket generates thrust to launch the missile into flight; 2) midcourse phase, where the missile coasts in an arc under the influence of gravity; and 3) terminal phase, in which the missile descends towards its target. Ballistic missiles can be characterized by three key parameters - range, payload, and Circular Error Probable (CEP), or targeting precision. Ballistic missiles are primarily intended for use against ground targets.

Jeremy's Blog – Promises Promises
So we have a "snap election". Some election bribes have been offered out (students clearly being part of Labour's target market) and of course politicians on all sides are offering to throw money at the NHS.
Briefly there appeared to be some space opening up in policy terms around social care, before the Conservative party rushed into a U turn after some newspapers used the dreaded "dementia tax" label.
Amidst all this debate (some even focussing on policy rather than personality), it would be great to see courage and leadership shown about the problems in the NHS and Social Care. I fear this will not happen.
Before the election announcement, the government announced a green paper on the future of social care. Yet another no doubt lengthy report that will follow the usual routine. Concerns will be raised about funding, government will feel discomfort about how to deal with the issues so end up playing for time – preferably so the next government will have to deal with it.
The spectre of funding for social care has been stalking the corridors of different governments for over 10 years now and despite various Royal Commissions, Green Papers, White Papers and some actual laws nothing has really changed. The last attempt emanating from the Dilnot Commission produced the Care Act which included the infamous care cap. When the Department of Health finally realised the impact that it would have on the social care market as well as public funding, it was booted into the long grass until 2020 (conveniently after the next election was then due).
And that has been the way of the last 10 or more years. Put it off. Preferably until someone else will have to deal with it.
But neither the NHS nor social care industry can wait. More importantly, nor can older people trapped in hospital beds, in underfunded care homes or receiving inadequate care at home. Crisis is perhaps a rather overused term, but the social care crisis is now real.
Middleton Hall is fortunate in having customers who recognise that they want quality and are prepared to pay for it. But that is only part of the market. Those who do not have that choice are being ill served by our political masters.
History suggests that no government is really prepared to deal with the problem. And with a five year (or less when that is more convenient) election cycle, it is always too easy to find a way of putting it off. So let's not have more reports or commissions. Let's have some courage.
Courage for a cross party agreement, not an election gimmick. Courage to face up to the uncomfortable truth.
The truth that we can no longer afford to maintain either the NHS or social care without either accepting that many of us will have to pay more tax or many of us will have to pay for our care.
So party leaders – how about some real leadership? Never mind the election gimmicks and whether someone has the right charisma or dress sense to be Prime Minister but how about someone prepared to speak the truth. We cannot have a low tax economy and high quality public services – especially with something as important as social and health care.
No more vague promises or putting it off. Just be honest with we electors.

Jeremy's Blog – Parties and Profit
How do you measure success? Bottom line profit? Achieving targets? Company growth?
Of course, financial results are incredibly important to all businesses but that is not really how I judge whether Middleton Hall is successful. If I ever have any doubts about success, I find going to a party a good test.
I have recently attended three parties at Middleton Hall – our annual Fun Day, Middleton Court's celebration of 10 years since opening and as a guest at the party that one of our Middleton Woods residents throws each year. My fellow director Lesley also enjoyed attending the Middleton Oaks summer party on Saturday. It is at those events that I really get a sense of what we are achieving at Middleton Hall.
Many staff were involved in putting together the Fun Day (Wizard of Oz theme this year) with great creativity, huge enthusiasm, and a lot of hard work. Their efforts were rewarded with a large turnout and as one resident said to me "I don't think I have ever seen so many smiling faces".
Middleton Court opened 10 years ago as a new facility for nursing care clients. I well remember several owners of nursing homes telling me it could never work with only 20 beds (and what on earth were we doing installing full en-suite shower rooms for nursing care?). Their considerably larger businesses were of course cost driven models and what they failed to realise is that there is an alternative quality driven model. Middleton Court was full within six weeks of opening in 2007 and has consistently received very high customer satisfaction. The party to celebrate its 10th anniversary was full of cheerful residents and families pleased that we have stuck with nursing care. Most of our doubters have since given up even providing nursing care.
At the Middleton Woods private party that I was honoured to attend, there was a buzz around the restaurant and much jollity. I was telling some of my fellow guests about an incident not long after the first residents moved in ten years ago. I was at work late one night and walked past the bar around 10pm and heard some laughter coming from a group of residents sat in the bar following a meal in the restaurant. When I put my head round the door, one of them enquired if we did "lock-in's". Obviously, Middleton Hall would not condone out of hours drinking, but I did walk away delighted with the spirit (in both senses) of our pioneering new residents in 2007.
Of course, we need to make good profits and achieve financial returns on the considerable investment made into the business to repay debt and reinvest for the future. However, as a retirement village, all that investment would not make any sense if we did not make a positive difference to the lives of our customers at Middleton Hall.
So a good party is perhaps the real test of success at Middleton Hall.
A Great Sing Challenge
The SING! Challenge ….. What a fantastic afternoon! Enjoyed by so many, from those aged 10 to 101! And everyone in between.
All over the UK, in conjunction with Comic Relief, people in care homes across the UK joined together to sing 'Sing' by the Carpenters. The Middleton Hall choir did us proud, not only with a rousing rendition of 'Sing' but many other favourites that we could all sing along to.
We were delighted to be joined by schoolchildren from St George's C 0f E Academy. They learnt the song and came to add a special energy to the proceedings. What a brilliant team!
Many residents came to enjoy the fun. The red nosed biscuits were a treat and all in all, it was a great afternoon. Over £38 was raised for Comic Relief too.
Thank to our choir and St George's Academy for their hard work and smiles.

And They're Off … A Great Race Night Raises Money For Mayors Charities
Residents and friends gathered for a hugely enjoyable Race Night. Not only did we raise the roof with cheering our horses on but we raised money for the Mayor's charities too.
Not everyone had been to a Race Night before, but it wasn't long before we all got the hang of it. The evening began with a hearty, Irish themed supper and then the racing began in earnest. Compere Ian added professional know how to the event and soon we were all putting our money where our mouths were, betting on horses and even buying ownership of the horses we liked the sound of.
The first race was named The Chain Gang Classic, after the enthusiastic party of mayors and their partners who attended in support of the occasion. The other races, such as the Rose of Waterside Cup, Middleton Magic Stakes and Into the Woods Spirit Cup were equally popular.
The takings for each race were split 50/50 with half going to the Mayor's Charities. The other half was divided amongst those who bet on the winning horse. Additional prizes were presented to the winning horse owners.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event. In response to the very positive feedback …. yes, we will have another similar event in the future!
Finalist at the Skills for Care Accolade Awards
What an honour to be one of only four finalists in the Skills for Care Accolades Awards!
Middleton Hall was shortlisted in the category of Best Employer (51-249 employees) and we travelled to the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool for a Gala Dinner to celebrate the awards. We didn't win but the event was a memorable experience and highlighted ways in which we can continue on our journey to achieve excellence. We were delighted that Andrea Sutcliffe, Chief Inspector of Social Care at the CQC (pictured here, right, lower row) made a point of making contact to congratulate Middleton Hall on its Outstanding CQC rating.
The ceremony was the finale of a day's conference, attended by Fiona Green, HR and Marketing Manager. Both during the conference and at dinner, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet and speak to other organisations that, like Middleton Hall, strive to be the best. Dame Moira Gibb CBE, Chair of Skills for Care commented
"What unites all our impressive finalists is not just their clear commitment to supporting the learning and development of their people, but an ability to be innovative in the way they deliver care and support services"
As well as being an occasion to recognise high achievers, it was without doubt also a celebration. TV celebrity Samia Ghadie was an entertaining host for the evening and a live band provided the music for a spot of dancing. All in all it was a great night, and one that only make us more determined to continue with our progress and return in 2018.
"Getting Better Never Stops"
Although not any sort of rugby expert, I do enjoy watching Rugby Union. The Six Nations has been interesting this season – England's winning run equalling the world record and Scotland appearing to provide serious opposition. Until they met England on Saturday at Twickenham that is.
England have extended their winning run to 18 consecutive wins and if they beat Ireland next Saturday will have achieved back to back grand slams in the Six Nations. Interestingly though, for most of the Six Nations they have not actually played terribly well. In some matches they barely turned up for the first half. Despite that they keep winning, which is perhaps a sign of a good team.
On Saturday, they managed to turn up for both halves and Scotland's new found pride did not last long (nor that of their female counterparts after an equally uncomfortable encounter against the potential grand slam winning England Women). England suddenly looked like real champions. Comparisons with the New Zealand All Blacks may seem premature (beating the All Blacks is not, yet, part of their winning run). However, there are some parallels with the 2003 World Cup winning side.
England won the 2003 World Cup for many reasons. One of those reasons was the drive, leadership and determination of captain (Martin Johnson) and the vision and planning of coach (Sir Clive Woodward). One of Clive's catch phrases was "Getting Better Never Stops".
Having previously written about the All Blacks' values in my blog, another Rugby/Middleton Hall comparison springs to mind.
Last week, Middleton Hall Retirement Village was awarded the coveted "Outstanding" by CQC (Care Quality Commission) following a three day, unannounced inspection in January. Only 0.5% of care homes have achieved "Outstanding". But Middleton Hall achieved something more impressive – our outstanding team achieved the very rare feat of being rated as outstanding in all five key areas of that CQC inspection. The Grand Slam of Outstanding.
As a result, we received a visit from Debbie Westhead (Deputy Chief Inspector, CQC) last Thursday and also met Andrea Sutcliffe (Chief Inspector, CQC) at an awards dinner that evening. Both asked me how I felt about our outstanding achievement. I said that, in honesty, I had mixed feelings about it. Because I am worried that people might confuse this achievement with being the destination rather than a step on the journey.
You see, I truly feel that Middleton Hall can improve much further and that we still have far more work to do.
Sir Clive Woodward's mantra is the point. Getting Better Never Stops.

Outstanding Recognition from the CQC
Middleton Hall is proud to announce that we have been rated as outstanding following an unannounced 3 day inspection by the CQC in January this year. Under CQC's programme of inspections, all adult social care services are assessed and given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Middleton Hall was not only rated outstanding overall but the CQC found us to be outstanding in all five domains. This is a rare achievement as only three other organisations inspected in the whole of the North have demonstrated this level of service, an achievement Debby Lamont, Registered Manager and Head of Care and Quality is extremely proud of.
"I am delighted that the dedication and commitment by all our staff across the whole retirement village has been recognised. Everybody has a major part to play in the person centred service we provide. We continually strive for excellence and continuous improvement at Middleton Hall. This is embedded into our culture and value system. I am so pleased the CQC inspectors could see how we work with residents so that they really live life to the full. Without exception, every single member of staff genuinely cares about residents, each other and our wider community.
Debbie Westhead, CQC's Deputy Chief Inspector for Adult Social Care in the North joined Jeremy, Lesley, Pam, Debby and all the staff and residents on the day the report was published to celebrate this high accolade.
Debbie commented "We found the quality of care provided at Middleton Hall Retirement Village in Darlington to be outstanding. The service is one of only three in the North of England that has received an outstanding rating for all five questions that we ask on inspection. We saw a caring service that encouraged people to remain as independent as possible."
"Without exception, people using the service and their families, told us they were extremely happy with the level of care received and we saw highly motivated staff that were very satisfied with the work that they were doing. The culture at Middleton Hall was also very impressive. It was caring, open and transparent. Staff worked closely and effectively with other healthcare partners and really took people's views on board and acted on feedback".
"This unique service, which catered to people's changing needs is truly setting an example, and I hope other care providers look to them to see what outstanding care looks like. The whole team should be very proud of the service they are providing.
Jeremy Walford, Managing Director of Middleton Hall commented, "The CQC inspects almost 25,000 services including hospitals, GP Practices, dental services as well as care homes and I believe only one other care home in the North has achieved outstanding in all five domains. Middleton Hall has always strived for improvement – our vision has always been about being the best. I am obviously delighted that the CQC agrees that we are outstanding. What is particularly significant is that the report covers every part of Middleton Hall – all our team contributes to our achievement of being an "Outstanding" and indeed we are fortunate to have such an outstanding team working at the retirement village.
One of the main factors in gaining such a high rating is our continual commitment to improvement. So, in case anyone thought we might rest on our laurels at this point – no chance. There is still much to do on our journey of excellence and we will keep moving forward to make sure that we remain outstanding in everything we do."

Exciting Finds at Metal Detecting Workshop
A resident struck …. not gold, but copper at the recent Estates workshop. The group was using a metal detector to explore the Middleton Hall grounds in an entirely new way.
The find was a 'Cartwheel Coin' – a two pence coin, unusually made from solid copper and presenting the head of George III. Quick research shows these coins to have been minted only in the year 1797.
The coin may be a link to New South Wales in Australia, to where 18,000 of these coins were exported, and/or to the military. The year pre-dates the first known history of Middleton Hall being built on the land in 1820.
Other 'treasure' included small aluminium parts thought to have possibly come from an aeroplane which crashed onto the Middleton Hall site in WW2.
All in all, it was a very interesting morning.

A Flipping Good Pancake Race

This is proof that a competitive spirit never leaves you!

Venice Comes to Middleton Hall
We were in Carnival spirits for a Venetian inspired coffee morning.
Creativity knew no bounds as, before the date, residents in each corner of Middleton Hall decorated masks with true flair. The results were worn and displayed to great effect. Middleton Grove, Middleton Gardens, Middleton Court and Family Living also designed and decorated a very special full face mask of their own for a competition. As ever, the idea of a competition raised the bar even further. The winning entry, by Family Living, was stunning.
Thank you to the kitchen team, who graced the tables with an array of traditional British and Italian cakes and biscuits. All in all, it was a spectacle to brighten a February morning.

People with antisocial personality disorder show a long-term, pervasive behavioral pattern of exploiting, manipulating, and violating the rights of others. The behavior often crosses the line from disturbing into criminal.
Mental health experts define antisocial personality disorder as part of the Cluster B group (types of personality disorders), meaning it's one of the dramatic, emotional, and erratic disorders. The condition shares these broad characteristics with narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorder.
What Does Antisocial Personality Disorder Look Like?
What is antisocial personality disorder, exactly? People with antisocial personality disorder exhibit hostile and deceitful behaviors that first appear in childhood. As children, they may torment and torture animals as well as engage in bullying and intimidating of others. In addition to stealing, they may vandalize the property of others by setting fires or destroying the property in other ways. When a child behaves in this way, flagrantly violating standards of conduct, a mental health expert would likely diagnose him with conduct disorder. Conduct disorder is a form of antisocial personality disorder that occurs in children.
Individuals with antisocial personality disorder have a complete lack of remorse for their (often criminal) behaviors; although, they may convincingly feign remorse, when it benefits them. Unfortunately, for most, even if they seek treatment for antisocial personality disorder, the prognosis is poor.
Causes of Antisocial Personality Disorder
Experts don't know the exact causes of antisocial personality disorder. Most research suggests both biological (genetic) and environmental (upbringing, social) components contribute to its development. Risk factors include things like:
Physical child abuse
Sexual child abuse
Gross neglect
Mother smoked during pregnancy
Family history of the disorder
Cruelty to animals in childhood
Other research suggests that the antisocial personality requires greater sensory input to jumpstart normal brain function. Some studies show that antisocial personalities have a lower resting heart rate, low skin conductivity, and a decreased amplitude when it comes to certain brainwave measures. These findings may support this theory, but there's no solid evidence to debunk or validate it with certainty.
More men than women have the condition. Antisocial personality disorder statistics indicate that three percent of males and one percent of women suffer from this serious disorder. A much higher percentage of people in prison have antisocial personality disorder. Click to read about famous people with antisocial personality disorder.
