YP Letters: Why the idea of holding second vote on Brexit is nonsense
From: Tim Hunter, Farfield Avenue, Knaresborough.

Will Brexit mean Brexit under Theresa May?
THE latest argument from the 'Remoaners' appears to be let's have either a Parliamentary vote or a referendum on the terms of Brexit (Dick Taverne, The Yorkshire Post, August 27). This is nonsense and unworkable.
The point is, the precise terms of Brexit will be a constantly changing picture and subject to constant negotiation.
The terms may vary over a number of weeks. The precise terms of our EU exit will be the responsibility of our elected government.
New opportunities for trade, and new opportunities for optimising and negotiating our new relationship with the EU, will manifest themselves all the time and need to be pursued.
What are we to do – to say to people, do you accept the current terms, the latest version of which would be perhaps in a complex 1,000 word document available online somewhere? What, when we're just about to agree a new deal with another country?
Those terms can't be put as a binary decision to anyone and not even to MPs, probably.
We were told in 2008 that we couldn't have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, because we wouldn't be able to understand the document. Well, just in the same way, it would be nonsensical to have a referendum or even a Parliamentary vote on the terms of Brexit.
We've had the referendum. The Government has been told what to do by the people. If the Government is to remain credible, it's now the duty of Ministers to get on and implement Brexit as soon as possible.
From: Terry Maunders, Leeds.
LAST week I got up, switched on BBC World News to the spectacle of Nigel Farage speaking on a platform he shared with Donald Trump. In this speech he described himself, and Trump, as "anti-Establishment".
What? He represents everything about "the Establishment" that we should loathe.
He had an 'independent' education (of course) and worked in the corrupt financial system.
He led a political party that had members whose views were clearly racist. These views still mirror a party that looks to our imperialist, nationalistic past as some heyday, when we exploited other cultures, as in India, for our own financial profit.
They make good bedfellows, Farage and Trump. Which is very frightening.
Make no mistake, they encapsulate all the very worst of "the Establishment".

WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. (May 1, 2018) -- When the Army's fleet of 155mm self-propelled howitzers, called the Paladin, faced a significant readiness challenge two years ago, the Army turned to its oldest arsenal to quickly remedy the problem. But sometimes even well-experienced Army units, such as the Watervliet Arsenal, create new challenges when they try to correct old ones.
The gist of the readiness issue has been years in the making, said Col. Joseph Morrow, the Watervliet Arsenal commander, as he described the extensive corrosion issue that developed under what is called a bore evacuator on a howitzer tube.
A bore evacuator is used on the gun barrels of the Abrams tank and the M109A7 self-propelled howitzer to help reduce propellant gases and pressure from venting back into the vehicle's firing compartment, Morrow said. But due to age of the barrels, maintenance procedure challenges, and changes in propellants over the years, hundreds of barrels suffered extensive corrosion of the bore evacuation holes, such that Soldiers' safety and the accuracy of the round may be affected.
After several studies were conducted as to how this readiness issue may have happened, some came to the belief that because the bore evacuator was very heavy, that the time and effort to remove the evacuator after every firing was untenable.
The Arsenal, working hand in hand with the Army's Benét Laboratories, quickly came up with a fix.
But, sometimes, there are unintended consequences that arise from good intentions.
Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that provides an improved hardness and longer-lasting abrasion resistance to the treated surface, Marcklinger said. Not that the Arsenal didn't treat the area under the evacuator before, but it did so with a dry film coating that does not have the same tough characteristics as Cerakote.
With Cerakote, the Arsenal had to work with tolerances that were tighter than what was required of dry film, and the painters had to develop a new quality test procedure, Barnes said.
Barnes said that he was very frustrated until the process and techniques were finally achieved.
When tolerances are one to two-thousandths of an inch, there is not much room for human error, said Kenneth Prescott, the Arsenal paint supervisor. The Arsenal now has a good handle on this process and the goal going forward is to train more painters to meet this high standard.
After several months of trial and error, new Cerakoted-barrels, with light-weight bore evacuators are now going out to the troops in significant numbers, Prescott said.

Smithsonian Institution picks Ga. Tech president as its leader
G. Wayne Clough speaks during a news conference at the Smithsonian Institution building, Saturday, March 15, 2008 in Washington. The Smithsonian Institution, beleaguered by questions over how much it pays its executives and how they spend the organization's money, announced Saturday it has picked Georgia Tech President G. Wayne Clough as its new leader. - photo by Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Smithsonian Institution returned to its academic roots on Saturday, naming the president of Georgia Tech as the new leader of the museum complex beleaguered by financial scandals.
G. Wayne Clough, an engineer by training, will become the 12th secretary of the world's largest museum and research complex on July 1, assuming control of an institution that has been in turmoil in the past year.
"I know the Smithsonian has challenges," Clough said at a news conference. "We will surmount those challenges."
Clough, 66, called the institution "a treasure" and "a great integrator of knowledge" from different subject areas.
Smithsonian board Chairman Roger Sant promised Clough would usher in a new era. "When you see this man in action, as you will, you will understand why he is renowned for his integrity, vision and leadership," Sant said.
Clough has served as Georgia Tech president since 1994 and has degrees in civil engineering. He is credited with transforming the Atlanta school into a top 10 public university, boosting research spending and raising nearly $1.5 billion. He previously held high-level posts at the University of Washington and Virginia Tech and taught at Stanford and Duke universities.
"During his remarkable career, Wayne has shown an ability to dramatically advance the institutions and constituencies he has served," said Alan Spoon, a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents and chairman of the search committee.
Clough offers new perspective on how to link the sciences with arts and humanities, Spoon said.
The Smithsonian, which includes the National Zoo and the National Air and Space Museum, has much in common with a university, Clough said. He noted it has a similar budget and staff size to that of Georgia Tech.
"Fortunately," he said with a laugh, "the Smithsonian does not yet have a football or basketball team."
During Clough's tenure at Georgia Tech, the school was put on probation by the NCAA for the first time in school history for using 17 academically ineligible athletes in four sports.
The first 10 secretaries to lead the institution had academic backgrounds, most of them in the sciences. The last, businessman Lawrence Small, resigned a year ago amid an investigation into his spending. Several top officials followed him out the door.
The institution also has been criticized for its executive compensation and questionable business practices. The Smithsonian's business unit struck a controversial deal with Showtime Networks Inc. to form a joint TV venture.
Later, museum scientists clashed with administrators over political concerns on a climate-change exhibit, and the Smithsonian backtracked on a donation from the oil industry to fund an upcoming Ocean Hall.
Asked about those cases, Clough told The Associated Press that the Smithsonian should not shy away from controversial subjects and ultimately must "speak the truth" and guard its academic freedom.
Cristian Samper, a biologist who was director of the National Museum of Natural History, has been serving as acting secretary. In the past year, Samper began reforming the Smithsonian's business practices and executive travel policies with the Board of Regents. He will continue as acting secretary through July and then will resume as museum director.
Mark Allen, senior vice provost for research at Georgia Tech, said faculty members did not know in advance that Clough would leave.
"What he's recognized for in Georgia Tech is helping transform us from a good, regional, engineering university to a university with international recognition," Allen said. "We were very lucky to have him for as long as we did."
Clough will be paid $490,000 with no additional compensation or housing allowance — a pay cut from his compensation at Georgia Tech. In the 2006-2007 fiscal year, his total compensation was $551,186, including $133,125 in deferred compensation.
Museum curators and researchers had complained Small was too focused on money rather than the Smithsonian's educational mission. Small was to earn $915,698 last year in total compensation — more than double what he earned during his first year as secretary in 2000.
An audit last year by the Smithsonian's inspector general found that Small charged the institution more than $1.1 million for agreeing to use his home for official functions. The housing expenses included $273,000 for housekeeping, $2,535 to clean a chandelier and $12,000 for service on his backyard swimming pool.
Meanwhile, as executive compensation grew under Small, the Smithsonian carried a hefty $2.5 billion backlog on facilities maintenance.
The Smithsonian is heavily dependent on taxpayer funds, receiving 70 percent of its $1.1 billion annual budget from Congress.

And, another fine week it has been. My yard is a carpet of leaves thanks to the rain and colder weather. The pups traipse through them to "do their business" and, come in plastered with a coat of fall color. It is pretty funny to watch them running around the yard stirring up a snowfall of downed fall foliage behind them. They seem to get a kick out of it. I had an extra ride yesterday getting a lesson on my trainer's horse Danny. He is a decade younger than Z and doesn't know as many "tricks." He is a really cool horse and a very kind guy and gave me a run for my $$ trying to keep up with a youngster. Lots of fun. I rode Z afterward and he was full of spunk too. I attribute it to the cooler temps. Most of the horses are wearing a lightweight sheet now to slow down or prevent coat growth. It takes way too long for them to dry out after a ride if they are furry. Oh, the joys of seasonal change.
Speaking of which, there's been very few people using the outside tables so many of them will be put into storage until the Spring. We've obviously been much busier inside and have been strictly following the rules of social distancing, mask wearing (or should I say policing?) and general and hand sanitization. During peak hours we still are going on a wait, although now there is no bar or lobby waiting areas. However, on most days, the Bistro is not busy early afternoon. It is a good time to come in if you're concerned with being around a gathering of people. And, to make it more appealing, we're starting a "Quiet Happy Hour" 2-4 Monday thru Friday. We'll take 10% off your bill, drinks included. We are planning on opening for lunch/brunch on Sunday's soon. Sharon and I are trying to figure out how to fit another Let Mary and Sharon Cook day in knowing that the demand is there. Remember that the full menu is always available for to-go as are cocktails and wine. We're happy to run it out to your car too!
BOO!!!
Halloween, next Saturday, is the celebration of the Eve of Saints. The word dates back to 1745 and marks the end of harvest and beginning of winter or "the darker half of the year." Trick-or-Treating began in the Middle Ages when poor people collected baked goods called "soul cakes" from the wealthy. In exchange they promised to pray for the giver's deceased loved ones. Costumes were worn in an effort to scare spirits away, Jack-0-Lanterns were used in ancient Ireland to frighten away ghosts and bobbing for apples was celebrated during the Roman festival for Pomona, the goddess of fruit and orchards around November 1. The first person to catch a bobbing apple with their teeth would be the first to marry in the New Year.
Also, the International Committee of the Red Cross was founded on October 29th, 1863 by Jean Henri Dunant, a wealthy Swiss businessman, who was moved by war's devastating effect on both the soldiers and civilians while on a business tour of battle fields in northern Italy in 1859. He urged for the creation of a multi-national relief effort that would care for those wounded in wartime. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901; the first ever awarded, and bequeathed the money to charity. His mission statement: "We are all brothers." He died on October 30th, 1910 but his vison lives on.

A Kerka, régen Kerkás (szlovénül Krka, vendül Kerka) folyó Szlovéniában, a Vendvidéki-dombságban ered, Bajánsenye térségében lép be Magyarország területére és Muraszemenye térségében ömlik a Murába.

Vízgyűjtő területe 1762 km², beleértve a Mura torkolat felett, a 2+185 szelvényben betorkolló Lendvát is. A Kerka teljes vízgyűjtőjének nagyjából kétharmada tartozik Magyarországhoz, egyharmada Szlovéniában van. A felső határszelvénynél a szlovén területen lévő vízgyűjtő terület 110 km². A vízfolyás magyarországi szakaszának hossza 53,6 km.

A Kerka forrásától először délkeleti irányban halad, majd nagy ívben dél felé fordulva torkollik a Murába. Ezt a menetvonalat követi a Kerkától nyugatra a Szentgyörgyvölgyi-patak, amely a Kebelébe torkollik. A Kebele délre elhagyva az országot Szlovéniában torkollik a Lendvába, amely országhatárt képezve a Kerkába torkollik a Murában való torkollás felett körülbelül 2 km-rel.

Települések a folyó mentén

Főbb mellékvízfolyásai
A Kerka jelentős jobb parti mellékvízfolyásai a Kerca és a Lendva patak.

 A Kerca Szlovéniában ered, a vízfolyás kb. 23 km hosszú. Torkolati vízgyűjtő területe 41 km², a Magyarországra érkezésnél 26 km².
 Lendva patak a 0+000 és a 6+803 szelvényei között az országhatárt képezi Magyarország és Szlovénia között, a felette levő szakaszán teljes hosszában Szlovéniában folyik. Teljes vízgyűjtő területe 865 km², melynek közel 80%-a Szlovéniában van.

A Kerka jelentős bal parti mellékágai a Cupi patak a Medesi patakkal, valamint a Cserta az Alsó-Válicka.

 A Cupi patak a közvetlen Kerka völgy ÉK-i szélén halad a Kerkával párhuzamosan. Mellékágai közül a Medesi patak a legnagyobb. Együttes vízgyűjtő területük 164 km².
 A Cserta patak a 16,6-es kilométerszelvénynél torkollik a Kerkába a bal parton. Az Alsó-Válickával együtt a vízgyűjtő területük 441 km². Az Alsó-Válicka pataktorkolati vízgyűjtőterülete 186,5 km².

Földhasználati jelleg

A Kerka-völgy, illetve a vízgyűjtő terület jelentős része erdő és szántó, emellett a patak átfolyik Lenti városán és falvakon, mint például Zalabaksán vagy Csesztregen. A közvetlen völgy fenéki területek általában gyepek, amelyeken az utóbbi évtizedekben észlelhető az elhanyagoltság. Ennek következtében a gyepek bozótos területekké, egyes helyeken erdővé módosulnak.

Jelentős területek tartoznak különböző fokozatú természet védettség alá.

A Kerka-mente Natúrpark területe több tájegységet foglal magába. Ide tartozik az Őrség déli része, Göcsej nyugati része, Hetés magyarországi szakasza (melyet Szlovéniától csak a mesterségesen húzott határvonal választ el), és egy kis rész a Mura bal parti síkjából is. Területe 55 159 ha. Tagtelepüléseinek száma: 41, lakóinak száma 24 500 fő.

A többféle klimatikus hatás a kulcsa az itt élő növény- és állatfajok sokféleségének.
A viszonylag gyors sodrású patakban 26 halfaj mellett nagy számban fordul elő a folyami rák, de megtalálható itt a vidra és a hód is. A lassúbb mozgású szakaszok és mellékágak dísze a tavirózsa és a vízitök.

We as Baptists share many areas of our faith with other members of the professing Christian Church. These include a belief in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; in the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ as Head of the Church; and in the Bible as the inspired Word of God, and as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
There are however areas of principle and practice where we as Baptists make distinctive emphases arising out of our understanding of the Scriptures such as the direct lordship of Jesus Christ, the autonomy of the local church, believer's baptism, the congregational principal of church government, the priesthood of all believers, the principle of religious liberty and the principle of separation of church and state.
According to StatsOnline, the South African census of 2001 recorded that out of a population of 44,819,774 citizens 691,235 people identified themselves as Baptists in South Africa.

Evidence indicates that foster care and residential care are complex activities that require rehabilitative and therapeutic approaches and skills.
At Family Care, we use psychologically informed practice to improve well-being, educational achievement, placement transition and long term outcomes.
Family Care delivers in-house therapeutic care and education for children and young people who have suffered emotional and psychological trauma.
At Family Care we firmly believe that clearly defined therapeutic approaches enable staff to have a better understanding of how young people's experiences affect them.
Through regular consultations, all the services within Family Care are supported by a team of therapists and our independent Clinical Psychologist. Consultation addresses both the emotional and mental health needs of young people but also supports staff development, knowledge, skills and confidence.
The consultation across all of Family Care's services makes sense to us because we want to impact the greatest change. We can support a young person through all of our services with this 'all-inclusive' model, sometimes referred to as wraparound care.
"Clearly defined therapeutic approaches enable staff to have a better understanding of how young people's experiences affect them, considering their emotional needs and fostering resilience."
"Consultation is the primary model of on going support to teams. Consultation is a formal process, theoretically underpinned and supported by a clear evidence base. It is fully compliant with NICE Guidelines and National Minimum Standards for Children's Homes."
Family Care champion the 'Secure Base' approach as its practice model.
The Secure Base Model (Schofield & Beek) provides a positive framework for therapeutic caregiving which builds resilience and helps infants, children and young people move towards greater security. The model was recommended as a basis for training foster carers in the Government White Paper, Care Matters (2007). It's also been incorporated by the Fostering Network into their Skills to Foster preparation programme.
Secure Base focuses on the interactions that occur between caregivers and children on a day-to-day, minute-by-minute basis in the home environment. The model can be helpful, first, to think about caregiver/child interactions as having the potential to shape the thinking, feeling and ultimately - behaviour of a child.
This cycle begins with the child's needs and behaviour and then focuses on what is going on in the mind of the caregiver. How a caregiver thinks and feels about a child's needs and behaviour will determine his or her caregiving behaviours.
The caregiver may draw on their own ideas about what children need or what makes a good parent from their own experiences or from what they have learned from training. The caregiving behaviours that result convey certain messages to the child.
A child's thinking and feeling about themselves and other people will be affected by these messages and there will be a consequent impact on his or her development. The Secure Base Model shows this in circular process form, 'the caregiving cycle', which shows the inter-connectedness of caregiver/child relationships, minds and behaviour, as well as their ongoing movement and change.

How Islamabad Admin Let Monal Restaurant Continue Illegal Activities For 5 Months
Abdullah Momand May 21, 2020
When discussion heated up on social media about the unlawful activities of Monal Restaurant operating in the federal capital's Margalla National Park area, authorities sealed the restaurant and arrested some 50 people. Authorities say that cases will be registered against them. But did Monal carry out all this expansion through construction and cutting down of trees in one day? To find out more about these illegal activities of the restaurant, Naya Daur Media investigated the matter, speaking to the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad and relevant officials of the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
A highly placed official at the Environmental Department of the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad told Naya Daur Media that authorities had become aware five months ago that Monal Restaurant had not only conducted illegal construction in the Margalla Hills, but were also cutting many trees in an effort to expand the premises. Officials then visited the restaurant and confirmed that both these types of illegal activity were underway.
According to the official who spoke to Naya Daur Media, the laws of the National Park Areas around Islamabad are so tough that you can face legal action even for cutting down a bush.
He further stated that four months ago, the Environmental Department had written five letters to the CDA and the district municipal authority, intimating them that Monal Restaurant was carrying out such illegal activity as part of its expansion, and was thus ruining the Margalla Hills. There was no response from higher authorities. When another letter was written after these, verbal orders arrived: calling for the Environmental Department to stay away from this problem and focus on some other productive efforts. After these orders, the Environmental Department went silent on the matter.
When asked as to why the Environmental Department of the Metropolitan Corporation did not inform the relevant environmental ministry, the official explained that legally, this department could only inform either the CDA or the district municipal authority.
An official of the federal capital's administration informed Naya Daur Media that Monal had chopped down more than 200 trees as part of its expansion effort, but it was not correct that this had been done during the days of the Coronavirus lockdown. In fact, he clarified, this project had been underway for five months, and the administration came into action only when the restaurant's management had spread a great deal of destruction.
The director of the Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) at the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad, Zafar Iqbal, has been removed from his position due to a failure to take timely action on Monal's illegal activities and involvement in corruption.
Naya Daur Media asked a senior official at the Ministry of Climate Change about the illegal expansion activities of Monal Restaurant, and learned that the ministry had come to know of the matter some months ago. High-ups in the ministry were then informed of this. Some officials had subsequently claimed to have spoken to the owners of the restaurant, and they had informed them that they had received permission for this project. These officials had said that they did know who had given such permission.
When Naya Daur Media spoke to the Prime Minister's Advisor on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam, he stated that the government believe in transparency and nobody was permitted to damage forests.
He went on to say that the Ministry was investigating this serious negligence, and would take the most strict action against whoever was found involved.
Naya Daur Media tried repeatedly to reach the director of the DMA at the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad Zafar Iqbal for comment, but he did not respond.

In August 2022, employed persons remained stable by registering an increase of 0.2 per cent or equivalent to 39.3 thousand persons to record 16.02 million persons (July 2022: 15.98 million persons). In terms of seasonally adjusted data, the number of employed persons rose by 0.4 per cent. The employment-to-population ratio, which indicates the ability of an economy to create employment, went up by 0.1 percentage points, recording 67.1 per cent in August 2022 as compared to July 2022 (67.0%).
By economic sector, the number of employed persons in the Services sector remained on an increasing trend, particularly in Food & beverages services; Wholesale & retail trade and Administrative & support service activities. A similar trend was observed in the Manufacturing and Construction sectors, while the number of employed persons in the Agriculture and Mining & quarrying sectors continued to decrease.
Looking at the status of employment, the largest share of the total employed persons was in the employee's category with a share of 76.0 per cent. This category increased by 0.2 per cent (+22.1 thousand persons) to 12.17 million persons during the month (July 2022: 12.14 million persons). On the same note, the own-account workers remained on an upward trend with an addition of 17.2 thousand persons (+0.6%) to record 2.80 million persons (July 2022: 2.79 million persons). This group consisted mostly of daily income earners working as small business operators such as retailers; hawkers; sellers in markets and stalls, as well as smallholders.
In August 2022, the number of unemployed persons sustained its downward trend, posting a reduction of 1.4 per cent (-8.7 thousand persons) to record 612.0 thousand persons (July 2022: 620.7 thousand persons). On the contrary, in seasonally adjusted terms, the number of unemployed persons rose by 0.5 per cent. August's unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.7 per cent, while the seasonally adjusted estimates for the unemployment rate remained at 3.6 per cent.
During the month, the number of labour force strengthened further with an increase of 0.2 per cent (+30.5 thousand persons) to 16.63 million persons (July 2022: 16.60 million persons). Consequently, the labour force participation rate (LFPR) continued to increase by 0.1 percentage points, registering 69.7 per cent. The seasonally adjusted estimates showed that the labour force rose by 0.2 per cent, while the LFPR remained at 69.7 per cent.
The number of persons outside labour force remained on a declining trend with a reduction of 5.9 thousand persons (- 0.1%) to record 7.24 million persons (July 2022: 7.25 million persons). The largest composition of the outside labour force was mainly in the housework/ family responsibilities category, comprising 42.9 per cent, while the next was the schooling/ training category with a share of 40.4 per cent.
Malaysia's economic performance is observed to continue improving, as reflected by the economic indicators showing positive growth, such as the external trade indicators, which recorded a significant increase in August 2022 as compared to the previous year. Similarly, the Leading Index (LI), which anticipates the economy's direction for the next four to six months, remained stable. Thus, the outlook for the Malaysian economy is expected to remain optimistic in the future based on the smoothed long-term trend index, which continues to surpass 100.0 points. In line with the improving economic condition, the labour market is also expected to continue to flourish in the upcoming months, coupled with new entrants into the labour market as well as the entry of foreign labour into the country in the near future, which is expected to meet the increasing needs of the labour force in the market.
GRADUATES STATISTICS 2021
The year 2021 had observed the unprecedented COVID-19 public health crisis prolonged in the second year after the World Health Organisation announced the virus as a global pandemic in March 2020. The continuously high number of daily cases and deaths posted challenges to countries around the world in executing strategies and initiatives towards social and economic recovery. Since Malaysia too was no exception to the challenging situation in 2021, a more targeted and strategic mechanism was exercised throughout the year to protect lives, reduce the burden of the public health system and ensure the livelihood of the nation.
Numerous initiatives were rolled out by the Government to cushion the impact of COVID-19 pandemic towards multiple groups including employers & employees, micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs), graduates and youths. The overarching stimulus package namely National Economic Recovery Plan (PENJANA) which encompassed an allocation of RM35 billion was an inclusive and holistic approach for supporting Malaysia's economic recovery. Among the initiatives in PENJANA were The Hiring Incentive Programme, an economic recovery initiative to promote job creation among employers while increasing employment prospects. Additionally, PENJANA KPT-CAP Programme covered three sub-programmes namely Place and Train, Entrepreneurship and Gig Economy intended to address the challenges of graduates' employability and unemployment.
Graduates Statistics 2021 presents the statistics of graduates within and outside the labour force as well as the salaries & wages of graduates in Malaysia. Various data sources were utilised in compiling the statistics namely the Labour Force Survey, Higher Education Statistics, Graduate Tracers Study and Salaries & Wages Survey. Graduates are defined as individuals aged 15 years and above with highest certificate obtained from universities, colleges, polytechnics, recognised bodies or equivalent, in which the duration of study is at least two years. Graduates are classified into two categories of certification namely Diploma and Degree.
Principal Statistics of Graduates
In 2021, the number of graduates in Malaysia increased by 4.7 per cent to record 5.61 million persons (2020: 5.36 million persons). The number of graduates in the labour force which encompassed of employed and unemployed rose 4.6 per cent to 4.77 million persons (2020: 4.56 million persons). Meanwhile, graduates' labour force participation rate (GLFPR) remained as in the previous year at 85.0 per cent.
Employed graduates went up by 5.0 per cent as against 2020 to register 4.57 million persons (2020: 4.35 million persons). On the other hand, graduates' unemployment rate eased to 4.1 per cent as compared to 4.4 per cent recorded in the preceding year. Accordingly, the number of unemployed graduates reduced by 2.5 per cent (-5.0 thousand) to 197.4 thousand persons as opposed to 202.4 thousand unemployed graduates in 2020.
In the meantime, the number of graduates outside labour force increased by 5.0 per cent to 841.3 thousand persons (2020: 800.9 thousand persons).
Employed Graduates
Looking at gender distribution of employed graduates in 2021, the share of female was higher at 51.9 per cent or 2.37 million persons while male comprises of 48.1 per cent (2.20 million persons). As compared to the previous year, the number of female employed graduates experienced higher annual growth of 7.4 per cent in 2021 as opposed to an increase of 2.5 per cent in the number of male employed graduates
By status in employment, nearly 90 per cent of employed graduates were in the category of employee with 4.03 million persons. Employed graduates in the category of own account worker which could also be associated with entrepreneurship comprised of 6.4 per cent (290.4 thousand persons), followed by employer at 4.3 per cent (196.6 thousand persons). Meanwhile, another 1.1 per cent (48.9 thousand persons) of employed graduates were unpaid family workers.
Analysis by occupation category, around two-third of employed graduates (64.8%) were in the skilled occupations category, accounting for 2.96 million persons. The highest share of 41.1 per cent (1.88 million persons) were employed in Professional occupation, followed by Technicians and associate professionals with 16.6 per cent (758.2 thousand persons). On the contrary, another 35.2 per cent of graduates worked in semi-skilled and low-skilled occupation categories. These groups could be identified as occupation mismatch considering their educations, knowledge and skills could not be fully utilised to their current work. Employed graduates in semi-skilled category which accounted for 32.9 per cent (1.50 million persons) were largely employed as Clerical support workers (14.4%), followed by Service and sales workers (10.8%) and Craft and related trades workers (4.2%). The remaining of 2.3 per cent (106.0 thousand persons) were employed in low-skilled category.
Graduates Time-Related Underemployment
Beyond unemployment, labour market underutilisation was also assessed in terms of time and skill-related underemployment. Time-related underemployment is defined as those employed less than 30 hours per week due to the nature of work or because of insufficient work, but were able and willing to accept additional hours of work. In line with multiple COVID-19 containment measures implemented in 2021 which among others also involved shorter business hours, graduates in time-related underemployment increased further during the year, registering an addition of 50.5 thousand to record 134.2 thousand persons. The rate of time-related underemployment among graduates surged 1.0 percentage points to 2.9 per cent (2020: 1.9%). Prior to the health crisis, the rate hovered between 0.9 per cent to 1.1 per cent.
Graduates Skill-Related Underemployment
Another dimension of underemployment is related to education, whereby graduates are employed in semi-skilled and low-skilled occupations. It can be observed that the situation of skill-related underemployment which has been one of the fundamental and structural issues in the labour market has intensified since the health crisis. In 2021, the rate of skill-related underemployment for graduates continued to trend up, registering 33.9 per cent or 1.55 million persons (2020: 1.36 million persons; 31.2%).
Unemployed Graduates
Female unemployed graduates composed of 54.2 per cent (106.9 thousand persons) while male made up a share of 45.8 per cent (90.5 thousand persons). The decline in unemployment of graduates for the year 2021 was due to the reduction in the number of male unemployed graduates by 5.3 per cent as against 2020, while the number of female unemployed graduates registered a marginal increase of 0.03 per cent.
The compositions of male and female unemployed graduates across age groups were similar whereby approximately half was concentrated in the age group of 25 to 34 years, followed by about one-third in the age group of 24 years and below which can be associated with new entrants into the labour market.
Graduates Outside Labour Force
Further analysis found that a share of 35.3 per cent (296.6 thousand persons) of graduates were outside labour force in 2021 due to housework/ family responsibility. Those who were attending school/ training programme composed of 32.2 per cent (270.8 thousand persons), while another 4.9 per cent (49.0 thousand persons) were going to further study. Thus, education and training purposes ranked second for graduates to be outside labour force.
Interestingly, reasons for not seeking work varies among male and female graduates outside labour force. Almost half (43.8%) of male graduates outside labour force was due to old age and retirement, followed by more than one-third (34.2%) because of schooling and training. On the other hand, majority of female graduates were outside labour force due to housework/family responsibility, aking up a share of 52.9 per cent. This was followed by 30.9 per cent who were attending training/ schooling.
UNEMPLOYMENT IN 2023 SEE LOVER AT 3.5% - 3.7%
The labour market is anticipated to improve in 2023, with the unemployment rate forecasted to reduce to 3.5%-3.7%, according to the Economic Report released by the Ministry of Finance.
This follows the improvements estimated for the whole of 2022 to 3.8%-4%, from 4.2% in the first half of 2022 (1H2022), amid stronger demand for workers by businesses and industries in meeting both external and domestic expansion.
Total employment is estimated at 15.3 million persons this year and seen to rise 1.7% to 15.56 million in 2023.
The service sector (comprising the wholesale retail, trade, accommodation, food and beverage subsectors) is forecasted to contribute to 65.3% of total employment or 10.165 million persons in 2023, up from 65.1% or 9.966 million in 2022.
The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector is seen getting a lower share of 10% in 2023, from 10.1% in 2022, although the number of persons is seen increasing to 1.56 million, from 1.548 million.
The share of employment is seen unchanged in 2023 for mining and quarrying (0.5%), manufacturing (16.6%), and construction (7.6%). In 1H2022, the unemployment rate stood at 4.2% or 667,000 persons. Total employment stood at 15.2 million persons.
Meanwhile, the number of registered low-skilled foreign workers rose to 1.2 million persons at end-August 2022, from 1.1 million a year ago, although the hiring remains low at 7.3% of total employment. Comparatively, the number of expatriates stood at 86,023 persons at end-June 2022, up 5.5% from 81,539 persons a year ago.
Job placements not as encouraging
The positive improvement in the employment rate was also reflected in the declining retrenchment number to pre-pandemic levels of 18,076 persons as at end-June 2022, the report said. Job vacancies doubled to 508,000 positions, from 258,000 in June 2021, it added. "However, job placements were still not encouraging despite the workers shortage issue faced by employers and incentives to increase hiring such as JaminKerja.
"Active job seekers, who are mostly with tertiary education, also declined by 57.5% to around 64,000 persons which may imply the nature of jobs, wages and benefits offered may not be attractive enough to job seekers," it said.

Ministry Of Higher Education Initiatives to Boost Graduate Employability.
Top of Form
One of the current priorities for the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) is to improve the education system, while producing more holistic and employable graduates
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad have outlined a five-year plan with four main strategies aimed at producing better graduates that are ready for the workforce.
These strategies revolve around reinforcing talent, expanding careers of graduates, enhancing teaching, and learning, and strengthening industry ties.
For example, the ministry has partnered with Social Security Organisation (SOCSO) to provide graduates access to national employment portal MYFutureJobs. Besides that, TalentCorp is offering its Nurturing Expert Talent module to help with career profiling.
These are timely initiatives, as a study by MOHE showed that the graduate employability rate decreased by 1.8% in 2020
The 2020 Graduate Tracking Study found that Malaysian graduates had a marketability rate of 84.4%, compared to 86.2% in the previous year. In other words, up to 40,550 graduates were not able to secure a job within six months of graduating.
To help make it easier for graduates to find out about job offers and other opportunities, the government introduced Graduates Reference Hub for Employment and Training (GREaT) in September 2020. The one-stop portal now even includes a feature to automatically match unemployed graduates with suitable job vacancies found in their database.
Nevertheless, a positive sign is that polytechnic graduates are in high demand, with a marketability rate of over 90% for five years in a row
Despite the pandemic, polytechnic graduates still had a 91.2% marketability rate in 2020.
That is why the Ministry of Higher Education will continue to look at the betterment of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme, along with programme accreditation and recognition at the international level.
Following the tabling of #Bajet2022, Budget 2022, the government announced that MOHE has been allocated RM14.5 billion, which will help education agencies as well as students. Here's how
1. Of the RM14.5 billion allocation, RM11.5 billion will be used for operating expenses and RM3 billion will be channelled for development expenses.
2. From 1 November 2021 to 30 April 2022, those who are repaying their National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans in full will get a 15% discount. Those who are repaying at least half of their loan balance will get a 12% discount. Also, if you repay your PTPTN loans through salary cuts or scheduled direct debit, you'll be given a 10% discount.
3. Companies that offer scholarships to students will receive double tax deduction, and this policy is now applicable to all fields of study.
4. An estimated 600,000 students from B40 families will receive free tablets, with an allocation of RM450 million for this programme.
5. RM6.6 billion has been allocated for education loan programmes through Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), and Yayasan Peneraju. The allocation will also be channelled towards helping students upgrade from certificate programmes to diplomas.
6. Over two million youths will benefit from RM150 e-wallet credit, under the government's eStart programme to foster a culture of cashless transactions. A total of RM300 million has been allocated for this initiative.
7. Employers who hire school leavers and graduates aged 18 to 30 years old will be provided a monthly incentive of RM900. This amount will be given monthly for each hire for a period of six months.
8. The government also called for the private sector to offer an allowance of RM900 to students undergoing industrial training.
9. Tax incentives for the Structured Industrial Training Programme will be extended until the year of assessment 2025, applicable for students at different levels, including master's degree, Professional Certificate, and Malaysian Skills Certificate Level 1 and 2.
10. RM423 million has been allocated for the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOST) and MOHE to enhance R&D activities. This includes RM295 million for public universities to play a role in research and innovation.
11. In an effort to increase access to screening and health education, mobile clinic services will be expanded to university teaching hospitals. The capacity of public health service facilities will also be increased, with RM4 billion allocated for the implementation of vaccination programmes as well as other efforts to address COVID-19, including university teaching hospitals.
12. RM6.6 billion will be allocated to the TVET industry, with an additional RM200 million for joint venture programmes with the industry.
13. The government will be carrying out projects like road maintenance, infrastructure renovation, and updating equipment at public universities, polytechnics, and community colleges, with a total allocation of RM2.9 billion.
14. Pioneered by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang, the government will be implementing community-based rehabilitation programmes at more universities starting next year.
In addition to these initiatives, daycare facilities will be offered at public universities to support working mothers. The Malaysian Research and Education Network (MYREN) will also get a RM50 million network upgrade, from 500Mbps to 10Gbps.

Ulica Asnyka w Kętrzynie – ulica w Kętrzynie powstała w drugiej połowie XIX w.

Ulica przed 1945 nazywała się Oberteichstr. od nazwy jeziora Oberteich, nad którym znajduje się część ulicy. Powstanie ulicy wiąże się z powstaniem tu zakładu psychiatrycznego.

Zabudowa przedwojenna

Szpital Miłosierdzia
Szpital Miłosierdzia (niem. Krankenhaus der Baherzigkeit) założony został w 1857 przez Kościół ewangelicki z inicjatywy kętrzyńskiego superintendenta Karla Augusta Thala. Szpital kierowany był przez pięcioosobowy zarząd wybierany przez radę parafialną. Zarządem szpitala kierował proboszcz. W roku 1866 przebywało tam 63 chorych, a w dwa lata później kiedy wybuchła epidemia tyfusu liczba chorych zwiększyła się do 154 osób. Chorymi opiekowały się diakonise. Po wybudowaniu nowego szpitala, szpital z ul. Asnyka został przeniesiony do nowego budynku, obecnie Szpital Powiatowy w Kętrzynie.

Zakład filantropijny Sembecka
W przestrzeni między ul. Pocztową, a Jeziorem Kętrzyńskim i ul. Adama Asnyka, a Stadem Ogierów w Kętrzynie znajdują się budynki wymurowane z czerwonej cegły. Całość otoczona była solidnym ogrodzeniem, które zachowało się w znacznej części. Obszar ten może kojarzyć się z jednostką wojskową. Faktycznie był tu Zakład Psychiatryczny. Powstanie zakładu zapoczątkował Kościół ewangelicki. W roku 1865 powstał tu zakład dla dzieci psychicznie chorych z jednym opiekunem i jednym nauczycielem. Rozbudowująca się instytucja prowadzona była później przez Fundację Sembecka, wspieraną finansowo przez Kościół z ogłaszanych kolekt. W 1869 r. wybudowano dom dla kobiet (przy obecnej ul. Pocztowej, a w latach 1881–1893 budynki: szkolny, mieszkalny dla dzieci, dla mężczyzn i szpital (od strony jeziorka). Układ i liczba budynków znajdujących się tam obecnie jest zgodna z ich lokalizacją na planie miasta z pierwszych lat XX w. W zakładzie tym było 1000 pensjonariuszy i obsługa: lekarze, pedagodzy i pielęgniarze. Na terenie obiektu funkcjonowała piekarnia. Do kompletu było też gospodarstwo rolne o powierzchni 60 ha, gdzie utrzymywano inwentarz żywy – źródło zaopatrzenia zakładowej stołówki. W ramach terapii prowadzone były zajęcia praktyczne w różnych dziedzinach rzemiosła (wyrób mebli, szczotek), gotowe produkty były sprzedawane, a uzyskana gotówka przeznaczana była na wzbogacanie budżetu zakładu. Przedwojenny adres zakładu: wówczas Sembeckstr 15 (obecnie ul. Pocztowa), telefon 562 i Oberteichstr 1 (obecnie ul Adama Asnyka). Zakład opiekuńczy w Kętrzynie powstał wcześniej, niż tego typu zakład w Karolewie.

Domy dla nieuleczalnie chorych powstały dzięki Fundacji Sembecka. Fundacja ta ustanowiona została w Berlinie przez prawnika Ernsta Sembeka w 1862 r. z kapitałem 200 tys. marek z których odsetki miały iść na utrzymanie Zakładu Psychiatrycznego w Kętrzynie. W 1937 r. Zakład Psychiatryczny przejęty został od prywatnej fundacji przez nazistowskie władze III Rzeszy. Zakład zmienił nazwę na Zakład Wychowawczy i zmieniła się struktura podopiecznych – dzieci i młodzież, w tym także dzieci z niedorozwojem umysłowym.

W 1939 dyrektorem Zakładu Wychowawczego był pastor Gotthard Schulz, a rektorem szkoły nijaki Nernheim.

Zakład w latach 1940-1944
W 1940 na teren Zakładu Wychowawczego podzielono na dwie części. Budynki od strony ul. Pocztowej pozostały jako zakład opiekuńczy, a budynek przy obecnej ul. Asnyka 10 (nazywany wówczas przy Oberteich oddano na potrzeby biura techniczno-wykonawczego Organizacji Todt. Biuro to występowało pod różnymi kryptonimami: "Chemische Werke Askania", "Deutschland I" i "Tannenberg I". Biuro w Kętrzynie należało do jednego z 8 centralnych oddziałów Organizacji Todt rozlokowanych w różnych częściach III Rzeszy. Do jego zadań należały: prace projektowe, prowadzenie inwestycji, koordynacja prac podwykonawców i nadzór inwestycyjny. Najbliższy taki oddział (stan z sierpnia 1944) był w Pradze (krypt. Deutschland VII, wówczas ul. Kreuzherrengasse 1) i w Berlinie (krypt Deutschland II, Berlin-Dahlem, Kronprinzen Allee 172, Block B). Na potrzeby osób pełniących służbę w ramach kętrzyńskiego oddziału Tannenberg I zajęte zostały miejskie hotele. W hotelu Thuleweit (budynek nie istnieje, obok obecnie znajduje się Hotel Koch) był przyjmowany przez Bürgera (- szefa kętrzyńskiego oddziału) i Pfisterera (zastępca) Reichsarbeitsführer Konstantin Hierl.

W sierpniu 1940 wydzielony został teren pod budowę Wilczego Szańca i rozpoczęto budowę lotniska Kętrzyn-Wilamowo (gotowe wiosną 1941). Do Kętrzyna przyleciał wówczas samolotem minister Todt.

Biuro zakończyło działalność w grudniu 1944. Po wojnie jedynym materialnym śladem wskazującym na wykorzystywanie obiektów Zakładu Wychowawczego do celów wojskowych był zainstalowany tam węzeł łączności (system urządzeń technicznych umożliwiający wielokanałową łączność w różnych kierunkach) oraz rozmieszczone w pobliżu schrony przeciwlotnicze. Schrony rozmieszczone były na posesji sióstr Katarzynek i w zachodniej skarpie cmentarza komunalnego.

Rok 1945
Według niepublikowanej relacji dnia 14 stycznia 1945 polscy robotnicy przymusowi z budynku przy ul. Asnyka 10 na samochody wojskowe ładowali skrzynie (najprawdopodobniej z dokumentami).

Między 15-20 stycznia 1945 w opuszczonej części budynków po Organizacji Todt zakwaterowano dzieci i opiekunów z Domu Dziecka w Ełku. Dnia 22 stycznia kierownictwo Zakładu Wychowawczego wysyłało trzy telegramy z prośbą o umożliwienie ewakuacji, według wcześniej ustalonego planu na Pomorze. Dnia 26 stycznia o godz. 16,oo dotarł tu rozkaz o obowiązkowej ewakuacji. Tego samego dnia ok. godz. 20,oo nastąpił wymarsz kolumny dzieci i opiekunów w kierunku Bartoszyc. Na wozie konnym jechała żywność i zapasowa odzież. 11 lutego 1945 uciekinierzy powrócili do Kętrzyna. Dom przy obecnej ul. Asnyka 8 zajęty był przez wojennego komendanta miasta – majora Rozenfelda z Armii Czerwonej. Przerzedzeni uciekinierzy (śmierć w wyniku mrozu i działań frontowych), zajęli budynki od strony ul. Pocztowej. Wkrótce istniejącemu kierownictwu zakładu przedstawił się nowy "burmistrz Kętrzyna" Henryk Hartmann († 1947 Kętrzyn) wyznaczony przez wymienionego komendanta. Hartmann wyznaczył swoją przełożoną Zakładu Wychowawczego, który w tym czasie pełnił też funkcję domu dziecka. Pensjonariusze zakładu repatriowani byli do Niemiec jesienią 1945 i w 1946 r. Pracownicy Zakładu Wychowawczego byli wielokrotnie przesłuchiwani przez NKWD, które interesowały archiwa Organizacji Todt. Przypuszczalnie skutkiem tego typu przesłuchań było wypompowywanie wody z Jeziora Kętrzyńskiego w 1963. Po wypompowaniu znacznej części wody z niecki jeziora, prace poszukiwawcze musiano przerwać, ponieważ w wyniku obniżenia poziomu wody gruntowej zaczęły pękać ściany okolicznych budynków.

Zabudowa obecna
W opuszczonym budynku przy ul. Asnyka 10 w roku 1947 utworzono Zasadniczą Szkołę Zawodową, a później Zespół Szkół Zawodowych z Technikum Mechanicznym, przeniesione zostały na ul. Wojska Polskiego 12. Po Zespole Szkół Zawodowych budynek na ul Asnyka 10 zajmowany był przez Szkołę Podstawową Nr. 5 w Kętrzynie im. Macieja Kalenkiewicza "Kotwicza", przeniesioną na ul Kazimierza Wielkiego 12. Obecnie budynek nr. 10 na ul. Asnyka zajmuje Wyższa Szkoła Informatyki i Ekonomii TWP Wydział Zamiejscowy w Kętrzynie. Obecnie budynek nr 8 na ul. Asnyka zajmuje Prywatne Gimnazjum, II Prywatne Liceum Ogólnokształcące i Niepubliczna Szkoła Podstawowa Klucz w Kętrzynie.  Absolwentem Zasadniczej Szkoły Zawodowej z roku 1963 był między innymi Bronisław Ignaciuk (wychowawca Turonek). Absolwentem z roku 1971 Zasadniczej Szkoły Zawodowej na ul Asnyka 10 był Cyryl Klimowicz.

Ulica Asnyka łączy ulicę Pocztową z ulicą Kościuszki. Ulica ma długość ok. 400 m i jest na niej 12 numerów. Po stronie nieparzystej pod nr 1 znajduje się budynek kętrzyńskiego browaru. Po stronie parzystej budynki nr 8 i 10 to budynki dawnego ośrodka opiekuńczego założonego przez fundację Sembecka. Budynek mieszkalny nr 12 wybudowany został po 1945. Wcześniej znajdował się tu szpital, świadczący usługi dla mieszkańców miasta, w czasie gdy nie było jeszcze w Kętrzynie szpitala powiatowego.

The robotic lower extremity exoskeletons address the ambulatory problems confronting individuals with paraplegia. Paraplegia due to spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause motor deficit to the lower extremities leading to inability to walk. Though wheelchairs provide mobility to the user, they do not provide support to all activities of everyday living to individuals with paraplegia.
Current research is addressing the issue of ambulation through the use of wearable exoskeletons that are pre-programmed. There are currently four exoskeletons in the U.S. market: Ekso, Rewalk, REX and Indego. All of the currently available exoskeletons have 2 active Degrees of Freedom (DOF) except for REX which has 5 active DOF. All of them have pre-programmed gait giving the user the ability to initiate a gait but not the ability to control the stride amplitude (height), stride frequency or stride length, and hence restricting users' ability to navigate across different surfaces and obstacles that are commonly encountered in the community. Most current exoskeletons do not have motors for abduction or adduction to provide users with the option for movement in coronal plane, hence restricting user's ability to effectively use the exoskeletons. These limitations of currently available pre-programmed exoskeleton models are sought to be overcome by an intuitive, real time user-controlled control mechanism employing admittance control by using hand-trajectory as a surrogate for foot trajectory. Preliminary study included subjects controlling the trajectory of the foot in a virtual environment using their contralateral hand. The study proved that hands could produce trajectories similar to human foot trajectories when provided with haptic and visual feedback. A 10 DOF 1/2 scale biped robot was built to test the control paradigm. The robot has 5 DOF on each leg with 2 DOF at the hip to provide flexion/extension and abduction/adduction, 1 DOF at the knee to provide flexion and 2 DOF at the ankle to provide flexion/extension and inversion/eversion. The control mechanism translates the trajectory of each hand into the trajectory of the ipsilateral foot in real time, thus providing the user with the ability to control each leg in both sagittal and coronal planes using the admittance control paradigm. The efficiency of the control mechanism was evaluated in a study using healthy subjects controlling the robot on a treadmill. A trekking pole was attached to each foot of the biped. The subjects controlled the trajectory of the foot of the biped by applying small forces in the direction of the required movement to the trekking pole through a force sensor. The algorithm converted the forces to Cartesian position of the foot in real time using admittance control; the Cartesian position was converted to joint angles of the hip and knee using inverse kinematics. The kinematics, synchrony and smoothness of the trajectory produced by the biped robot was evaluated at different speeds, with and without obstacles, and compared with typical walking by human subjects on the treadmill. Further, the cognitive load required to control the biped on the treadmill was evaluated and the effect of speed and obstacles with cognitive load on the kinematics, synchrony and smoothness was analyzed.

Asia Capital Reinsurance Group will grow in the Middle East and North Africa region through adding new lines and expanding into new countries, according to senior executive officer Rainer Lehner.
Speaking to GR about the future of Asia Capital Re's Dubai-based operation, Lehner said: "I would expect over the next 12-24 months that we can grow by adding on lines down here.
Other lines that offer possible growth include political violence, Lehner added.
Lehner said that the region's challenges included overcapacity.
He added: "Overcapacity leads to the challenge of poor underwriting discipline.
A connected problem is the lack of underwriting information in the region, Lehner went on.
The common view of insurance as an expense rather than a valuable item of risk management is a further challenge, Lehner added.

Kemar Roach praises 'on it' team-mates as West Indies take command again
George Dobell in Antigua
Kemar Roach admits he is "very proud" of himself after another eye-catching performance with the ball against England.
Roach followed his 5 for 17 in the first innings of the Barbados Test with 4 for 30 in Antigua to help West Indies take a grip on the second Test. Afterwards he expressed his delight both at "backing up" the Barbados performance, and the nature of pitches used so far in this series. He has currently taken nine wickets in three innings at 11.66 – more than anyone else to date.
"Backing up performances is very important," Roach said. "The opposition come back hard following a defeat and England are a quality side. We were on top of them for a while, but they fought back hard. They put up a good fight. So to get four wickets … I'm very proud of myself.
"I've been working hard in the nets and working hard in the gym. I'm getting older so I have to look after my body and train harder. I've been doing a lot of running and that has helped my rhythm a lot.
"It is a tough pitch for the batsmen. There is variable bounce. It was pretty green and it did a lot with the ball. But you have to be consistent as a bowler. You have to make the batsmen play as much as possible.
"The last Test in Barbados was good for fast bowlers as well. It's rare in the Caribbean. But this was an eye-opener. I'm pretty happy with the pitch as a fast bowler. It's good for cricket, I think."
Roach also gave praise to his fast-bowling colleagues, who sustained the pressure on England, as well as the quality of the slip catching, which resulted in one superb effort to end Joe Root's innings, as John Campbell made great ground to parry a high chance to Shai Hope
"I got fantastic support from the others bowlers and the catching was also quite good," Roach said. "We saw what Campbell did when he jumped to make the catch off Root, which eventually went to Hope. We were 'on' today.
"With Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder and now Alzarri Joseph coming into the team, it's a quality bowling attack. The guys have been doing fantastic over the last year-and-a-half. It's a very good bowling attack and, if we keep working hard, we can put some numbers on the board for West Indies."

Diana Krall spent the better part of the 2010s exploring byways of American song -- her 2012 set Glad Rag Doll drew heavily on obscure jazz from the 1920s and '30s, its 2015 sequel Wallflower concentrated on pop and rock tunes -- but 2017's Turn Up the Quiet finds the pianist/singer returning to well-known standards from the Great American Songbook. Reuniting with producer Tommy LiPuma for the first time since 2009's bossa nova-inspired Quiet Nights, Krall works with a trio of lineups on Turn Up the Quiet, alternating between a trio, quartet, and quintet. The album isn't divided into triads but rather gently shifts between these bands, a move that's sometimes imperceptible because the focus is firmly on Krall, the pianist. Her voice often operates at a hushed whisper -- a decision that suits this collection of romantic, dreamy material; it also underscores the importance of the record's title -- and that emphasizes her lithe piano along with the solo spotlights from her featured musicians. Krall gives her three bands plenty of space to shine -- fiddler Stuart Duncan, in particular, stuns with his solo on "I'll See You in My Dreams," but there are nice turns from guitarists Russell Malone, Anthony Wilson, and Marc Ribot, along with supple playing by bassists Christian McBride, Tony Garnier, and Anthony Wilson -- but what impresses is how these ensembles are all united in spirit and attitude, all thanks to their leader. Krall has a definite vision for Turn Up the Quiet -- she wants to keep things smoky and subdued, a record for the wee hours -- and the end result is so elegant, it seems effortless. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Floating Farmhouse
A labor of love from a self-taught architectural designer, this Floating Farmhouse is a far cry from the neon blue Catskill farmhouse it once was. The home integrates its addition into the existing structure with the same siding and roofing, yet allows it to stand apart with 22-foot-tall glass, reclaimed beams, and a poured concrete wood burning oven that's part of a weathered Cor-Ten fireplace stack. Reclaimed material is also found throughout the rest of the home, including in the bathrooms, master bedroom, and on the 12' by 50' covered side porch that cantilevers over the nearby stream, thus giving the home its name.

Sunset Ranch
Located on 113 acres in the Uinta Mountains near Park City, the Sunset Ranch is a sprawling ode to the American West. The home mixes rustic materials like hand-hews timbers, stone walls, reclaimed barn wood, and metal roofs to create a space that includes three bedroom suites and a gourmet kitchen. In fact, the property offers three kitchens, as well as nine fireplaces, a screening room, an infinity pool, an elevated hot tub, a separate guest area above the bar, and acres upon acres of trails, pasture, and untouched nature.

Restoration Hardware CEO's Napa Valley House
Surrounded by vineyards in St. Helena, the Restoration Hardware CEO's Napa Valley House looks like it was plucked from the pages of their catalogue. Taking advantage of the perks from being head of one of the largest luxury home-furnishing companies, owner Gary Friedman worked with his RH team to clothe the entire 5,772 square feet with all of the grey-tones and brass you've seen in their showrooms. The two-year renovation gave the interior six bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, a massage room, yoga studio, and gym. The exterior is just a grand with a palm-lined lap pool, outdoor kitchen, guesthouse, and organic garden. There's also a wine vault surrounding the dining area, completely stocked with bottles from a business acquired by Restoration Hardware.

Wiley House
Considering it's now a historic landmark and only open for guided tours, owning Philip Johnson's iconic Glass House is out of the question. But the architect's Wiley House is the next best thing. Like its legendary predecessor, the main living area is clad in 15-foot windows and steel. The rectangular glass pavilion sits on top of a stone foundation, housing the four bedrooms, bathrooms, and sitting room. Since its 1952 construction, a 19th-century barn on the six-acre property has been renovated into an art gallery and a poolhouse and garage have been added. The new additions create a courtyard around the original circular pool and its red lily pad diving platform, concealing it from the surrounding hickories.

Car Collector's Estate
At first glance, it could be any grand old English country home. A closer inspection reveals it's far more than that. This Car Collector's Estate is most obviously notable for its ample car storage space, including a spotlight space between the living and dining areas. There's also 10 bedrooms, at least 10 bathrooms, multiple outdoor buildings, Japanese-style gardens, and a swimming pool, all set on 6 acres. But perhaps the most remarkable feature of the house is its history. It sits adjacent to The Quaker Meeting House, the final resting place of William Penn, and served as a Quaker hiding spot from Oliver Cromwell. If that's not enough, the historic barn is built using timbers from the Mayflower, making it a great place to observe history while enjoying your historic autos.

Tom Ford's Santa Fe Ranch
Spanning 20,662 acres across New Mexico, designer Tom Ford's Santa Fe Ranch looks like something out of an old western. Mostly because it houses the original set from 1985's Silverado and is still being used in films like Cowboys and Aliens, Wild, Wild West, 3:10 to Yuma, and All the Pretty Horses. Designed by architect Tadao Ando, the main residence counters its iconic movie town neighbor with sleek modern lines, floating on top of the waters of a reflecting pool. The property also contains an eight-stall horse barn, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, separate staff quarters, two private guest houses, and its own landing strip. If this still isn't enough, there are plans and scale models for an additional compound to be built on the highest point of the ranch.

Alpha Tiny Home
Just because a home's small doesn't mean it can't impress. The Alpha Tiny Home uses a mix of modern design and traditional materials to create a cozy, inviting space. It rests on a 24' trailer, yet makes the most of the space with a fold-down deck and awning, tempered glass garage and sliding doors to let the outside in, a multi-use main area, usable kitchen with upscale, stainless steel appliances, and a bedroom loft that sits above the bathroom's composting toilet and Jacuzzi tub and shower, offering room for both a king-size bed and night stands. It's clad in cedar siding with a mechanical seam roof.

Complete the following diagram
Various evidences have been put forward to support of evolution theories, such as morphological evidence, embryological evidence, and anatomical evidence (similarities in bones) connecting links.
Embryological evidence:
The embryos of different vertebrates (examples are fish, salamander, tortoise chicken, cow human) show similarities in early stages of development and in the later stage of development similarities decreases. Similarities in initial stages of embryo development shows the common origin of all these animals.
Development of embryos in different vertebrates
Connecting links:
The animals or plants which possess the characteristics of two different groups of animals or plants. These plants or animals are 'connecting links. For example, an animal duck billed platypus lays eggs like reptiles such as lizards, snakes, but share characters such as presence of mammary glands and hairs with mammals. Therefore, duck billed platypus shows link between reptiles and mammals.

Miss Haps Weather: The Covid Triple Threat
THE COVID TRIPLE THREAT
We talk a lot about safety. But in the COVID-19 world we currently live in, the idea of safety is taking on a whole new meaning. That's because the pandemic has created a once-in-alifetime triple threat of safety, combining three things that make this truly terrible:
Inactive aircraft Today's aircraft are built for continuous use. The more they sit, the more issues that can creep up and impact performance and reliability. The only thing worse than an overused aircraft is an underused one.
Inactive pilots Staying sharp requires staying active. There are pilots out there today – particularly new pilots – who haven't flown in months. From where we sit, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone eager to fly with a rusty pilot.
Shared air and tight quarters Even with a mask, let's face it: aircrafts were never built for social distancing. You're sharing air. You're rubbing elbows. And you're touching the same surfaces.
Never before have we had to worry about the competency of the pilot, the integrity of the aircraft, and the safety of the shared air circulating within the aircraft. It's a troubling challenge, and one that we'll have to deal with for the foreseeable future.
But with an industry turnaround slowly rising on the horizon, the hope is that the aircraft and the pilots flying them will be back to shipshape. While COVID-19 will still loom, we'll take two out of three any day.


Following the buy-out from WH Smith, Graphite Capital successfully grew the Paperchase business, trebling annual sales.
In June 1996 Graphite led the management buy-out of Paperchase, a specialist retailer of stationery products and greeting cards. At the time of the buy-out the business had 12 stores and made an operating loss. Under Graphite Capital's ownership a number of successful retail concepts were developed for the brand and rolled out in a variety of locations.
The business presented scope for significant growth in several different store types and locations. Paperchase developed flagship stores, stand-alone stores in high profile sites, railway station outlets and concessions in leading retailers. By developing a relationship with Borders, Paperchase was able to accelerate the programme of in-store concessions using a highly successful model.
In 2004 Paperchase was sold to Borders, the US-based book, film and music retailer, generating a multiple of 3.0 times cost.

Apple recently released a new version of its iOS Security white paper, which gives an overview and some details of the security systems built into iOS. Over at TidBITS, Rich Mogull's title was How to Protect Your iCloud Keychain from the NSA. It really should have been, "How Apple Protects Your iCloud Keychain", but that wouldn't get as much attention. Clickbait title aside, he does a good job of summarizing some of the implementation details, and explaining exactly how extensive the protections are for at least this aspect of iOS.
