KFH is planning #expansion in #China
Kuwait Finance House (KFH) is considering expanding into China and Egypt as the region's banking sector nears saturation. According to bank's CEO, Mazin Saad al-Nahedh, there are opportunities for a Kuwaiti bank to operate in China. He added that the bank was looking at options to buy a license to operate in Egypt as well. KFH is cautiously optimistic about its operations in Turkey. Its subsidiary Kuveyt Turk contributes 22% to the group's bottom line as of the end of June. The bank expects credit growth of no less than 20% to 25% over the next three to four years as long as base rates remain where they are. As KFH continues its restructuring and sale of non-core assets, the bank is studying offers for its stake in Aref Investment Group, which it aims to sell by the end of the year. KFH is also planning to buy Bahrain's Ahli United Bank, but hasn't started negotiations yet.

Kuveyt Turk claims 37 per cent share of #Turkey's participation banking
According to Group CEO Mazin Saad Al-Nahedh, the market share of Kuwait Finance House-Turkey (KFH-Turkey) accounts for 37% of the participation banking in Turkey. The total assets of participation banks as percentage of the total assets of banks in Turkey account for 5-6% and is expected to surge. Growth rates in KFH-Turkey have outpaced the rates in Kuwait, Bahrain and Malaysia. Noting that all Kuwaiti banks were strongly capitalised, Al-Nahedh mentioned that KFH Group's own capital adequacy ratio surpassed 17% as of end Q1. Commenting on Kuwaiti sovereign debt issuances to Islamic banks, he said that KFH's share of the debt was 50 per cent, mirroring its market share among Islamic banks in Kuwait.

Kuwait Finance House may sell properties, cut small number of jobs
Kuwait Finance House may auction some of its properties or offer them to be run by other operators, depending on market conditions, its chief executive Mazin Saad al-Nahedh without giving details. He also said KFH planned to cut tens of jobs as part of its restructuring plan, which would eliminate some positions. Some people would be moved to other subsidiaries. KFH said in early May that it was considering a possible sale of its Malaysian unit. That is the only unit earmarked for possible sale because it is outside the Middle East, Nahedh said. The bank is restructuring activities ahead of a planned divestment by its largest shareholder, the Kuwait Investment Authority. A timetable for the divestment has not been announced.

Diamondbacks deny using electronic device to steal signs vs. Rockies
John Leyba / The Denver Post
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Archie Bradley gets high fives from the dugout after his triple in the eighth inning against the Colorado Rockies during the NL Wild Card Game on Wednesday.
PUBLISHED: October 6, 2017 at 7:15 am | UPDATED: April 15, 2019 at 4:07 am
Major League Baseball is investigating the possibility that an Arizona Diamondbacks coach used an electronic watch to enhance his team's ability to steal signs during Wednesday night's wild-card playoff win over the Rockies, an MLB source confirmed Thursday.
However, the Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon said that the watch worn by Ariel Prieto was not used to gain an unfair advantage during Arizona's 11-8 victory. The Diamondbacks advanced to the National League division series against the Dodgers, which begins Friday in Los Angeles.
"Ariel Prieto has assured us that this was a simple oversight and honest mistake," the Diamondbacks said in a statement. "The watch he wore last night was absolutely not used in any way related to our game and we will make certain prior to the NLDS that it will not be an issue again. Ariel takes full responsibility and feels terrible that this has been a distraction of any kind."
According to a report in the New York Post, MLB was trying to determine if Prieto was using the electronic watch to convey stolen signs to Diamondbacks players.
Wednesday's incident occurred three weeks after Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed that the Boston Red Sox used electronic communication from the dugout, as well as video cameras, to steal opponents' signs and relay them to Boston players during games. The Red Sox were fined an undisclosed amount, and Manfred said in a statement that "all 30 clubs have been notified that future violations of this type will be subject to more serious sanctions, including the possible loss of draft picks."
MLB rules prohibit any electronic equipment on the bench that have internet capabilities. It is baseball's attempt to prevent teams from using high-tech electronics to steal signs. Laptop computers, provided by MLB, are allowed in dugouts, but they are internet-disabled.
The Red Sox's actions were brought to MLB's attention by Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who filed a complaint with Manfred's office. According to The New York Times, Cashman supplied video of what the Yankees said was a Red Sox trainer looking at his Apple Watch, and then relaying information to players during a series between the teams in Boston.

El chacal de Nahueltoro / The Jackal of Nahueltoro (1970, Chile)
Prison is civil; life less so. That's one message from this film which, based around the true story of one awful crime in August 1960, traces the journey of an itinerant alcoholic from his deprived, miserable childhood to his execution by firing squad.
Half the film is over before we get to see the inside of a prison for the first time, and when we do, it provides a stark contrast to the world that Jorge del Carmen Valenzuela Torres (Nelson Villagra) has left behind. It is non-judgmental, purposeful, a place where God is present. These are not things that he has been used to.
Jorge has had a tough life. He begins walking the roads at eight years old. He is taken in by one family, but remains an outsider. He moves on, works for a while, and moves on again. In his late 30s he stumbles upon a widow, Rosa Rivas (Shenda Roman), living in a humble shack with her five children. He is invited to stay, and stay he does until she is evicted without warning. Jorge, Rosa and the five children set up camp in the open, in the middle of nowhere. Jorge continues to drink. In a moment of drunken rage he attacks Rosa with a hoe, killing her, and then kills the four oldest girls by beating or strangling them. He places stones on each of the bodies. He wakes the next day to discover what he has done and, before running away, crushes the crying baby with his foot.
It is not long before he is tracked down and arrested while dancing in a restaurant. He goes to the prison in Chillán; it is a refuge from struggle, from an aimless existence, from a life of which he later says, "I was just passing". He gets cleaned up, shaves, is dressed in new clothes. He kicks a football and smiles for the first time. His progress towards rehabilitation is charted in a section of the film entitled, 'Taming and Education'. He is tamed and educated; he learns to read, learns Chilean history, converts to Catholicism, weaves baskets, hand-crafts guitars. Prison offers him the stability that his impoverished life outside could never do; he becomes productive.
After the sentence of death is pronounced, the film becomes even more documentary-like. He is even interviewed at length by a reporter, whom he tells that he killed the children "so they didn't suffer, the poor ones", and speaks with a fondness for his mother that maybe she didn't deserve. We see, in minute detail, the preparation of the soldiers for the execution; deliberate, slow, methodical. We see Jorge with his priest, calm and no longer bewildered, and we are forced to ask – setting aside the horror of the crime – does it make sense to execute a man who has reformed, or at least been transformed, by his prison experience?
If you're looking for a film that demonstrates what a difference it makes when the most basic of Maslow's hierarchy of needs (food, shelter, safety) are met, then this may be it. It's a very different picture of prison to most prison movies.

The recently launched Criterion features 271 luxury apartments, a beautifully adorned lobby and its own suite of amenities tailored to today's urban professionals, including an outdoor terrace.
When Melissa Capo and her husband Mark decided to relocate from Maryland to the New York City area, their search for a new home took them to Jersey City. They were particularly captivated by The Beacon, the collection of historic Art Deco buildings reborn as modern residential properties with incomparable indoor and outdoor amenities.
Impressed by the spacious residences, stunning views and warmth of the staff, the Capos decided The Beacon was the ideal place to live.
The couple signed a lease, moved in and discovered their first impressions were accurate. They met so many friendly neighbors that they decided to invite them to a wine-tasting party.
For Melissa, the comfort, luxury and camaraderie she and Mark have experienced since moving to The Beacon have helped them lead the lifestyle they were looking for when they relocated. In fact, her fondness of the community and her neighbors has grown so strong that she recently took on an official position with the property management team.
"It's been six wonderful months of great service and meeting new people," Melissa said.
The Beacon's ornate buildings have been restored by Building and Land Technology (BLT) to recapture the dramatic architectural details and historic grandeur of their Art Deco-era origins while blending perfectly with newly created rental residences that are modern and chic. Studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments — priced from $1,595 a month — feature high ceilings and gourmet chef's kitchens with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and garbage disposals. Elegant baths are adorned with cultured marble vanity tops, tile floors and glass shower doors. Each residence also offers central heating and air conditioning and individual washers and dryers.
The Tower, a 15-story, 128-unit building, is 100 percent smoke and pet free, and includes a landscaped Zen Garden with comfortable seating and fire pit, and a 15th-floor sky lounge in its amenity offering.
The recently launched Criterion features 271 luxury apartments, a beautifully adorned lobby and its own suite of amenities tailored to today's urban professionals.
The Beacon offers unrivaled open space, including the 45,000-square-foot Overlook Park. The park offers panoramic Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor views, numerous grills, seating areas, a 2-acre park with children's playground, organic garden spaces and expansive dog runs. These substantial recreation areas make The Beacon among the greenest urban residential communities in the region.
Beacon residents enjoy complimentary shuttle service to the Grove Street and Exchange Place PATH/Ferry stations, and proximity to Jersey City's vibrant downtown district, which includes numerous New York Waterway Ferry terminals and PATH stations, as well as new restaurants, cafes, coffee houses and cultural attractions. In addition, the new Citi Bike Jersey City bike-sharing program includes a station at The Beacon.
For more information or to schedule a tour, call (877) 640-4945 or visit thebeaconjc.com. The community's leasing center is located at 126 Clifton Place (GPS: 20 Beacon Way, Jersey City, NJ 07304).

British Wildlife Festival 2019 with...
OOZING WOUND
+ Ghold + Irk + Cattle + Magic Mountain + MORE
A festival for the ageing rocker is born, now with added food by the delicious OWT chaps from down the market! If you know said promoter he'd love to see you down the front, it would mean a lot to him!
Do what you want in the morning, then get ready for a musical and actual feast.
He has booked the following bands for the afternoon leading into the evening for your eyes and ears, what a great day this truly is...
Chicago's Oozing Wound are a mass of contradictions: weed lovers whose music hits you with its breakneck head-banging force. The band deal with nihilism, yet remain addictively fun. Their music is equal parts sludge and thrash, noise and riff-loaded rock. Their latest offering, High Anxiety is an unabashed mocking of the madness of modern living, its chemical-induced adventures and establishment absurdity, deriding the industrial complex behind established institutions such as NASA while savaging those who deny science. Oozing Wound on High Anxiety are nihilistic pied pipers making us laugh our way to the apocalypse. The album finds guitarist and vocalist Zack Weil drummer Kyle Reynolds and bassist Kevin Cribbin blending their ferocious energy, sonic experiments and blunt lyricism for a pummeling enjoyable head-banger with an irresistible sneer.
Oozing Wound emerged from the underground noise warehouse scene. They were not only active in bands on the scene, but Kyle's own Rotted Tooth Recordings was home to many of its most successful artists (a pre-curser to Chicago labels like Hausu Mountain). Kevin lives in and runs an essential and legendary space, "Situations," home of the city's most adventurous shows and a mainstay for many touring bands to play in Chicago. It was through this and their screen-printing activities that they connected with noise pioneers like Lightning Bolt. Oozing Wound came to be on Thrill Jockey after sharing a bill with Brian Chippendale's Black Pus.
GHOLD
From Leeds and Oxford originally, Al Wilson and Paul Antony formed GHOLD in 2012 in Brixton, London. The, then duo, wrote and rehearsed and wrote a total of three full records (Judas Goat, Galactic Hiss, Of Ruin) in a disused bathroom/toilet in their shared flat- amps stacked high in the bath, drums shells spread around the toilet bowl. They gained local notoriety and respect throughout the local underground noise and metal scene for their progressive approach to the gnarled weirdness that has come to describe them. GHOLD are unrelentingly committed to bringing their ethos of dizzying noise and chaos to the masses.
On November 1st 2017 GHOLD released their forth album 'STOIC' in collaboration with London record shop 'Crypt of the Wizard Records' to high acclaim.
The trio have been consistently whipping up a sonic flurry of uneasy accross Europe, this year and last, and are set to release an exclusive stream only EP March 2019.
Cattle are another one of my 'stumble upon' finds courtesy of the Facebook page Noise Rock Now. Formed in 2012, Cattle have released one EP and shared a stage with the likes of True Widow, the Intelligence, Zeus, Dalek and Yak. Their latest release Nature's Champion is a seven track compendium of unbearable noise and anguished vocals. Lovely.
Cattle are spoilt with having two drummers, bass, vocals and some selected electronics. That's it. Wot no guitar? Yep. And the lack of guitar is just one of the reasons why I love Cattle. - Louder Than War
IRK
Sometimes a band is greater than the sum of its parts. Leeds math-rock outfit Irk are Jack Gordon on vocals, Ed Snell on bass and Matt Deamer on drums, but the brutal and abrasive music they craft feels like there were many more hands at the pump. But this is the beauty of Irk. Since they emerged in 2014 with their gloriously abrasive debut EP Bread and Honey they felt like a breath of fresh air. This was followed with a split EP with doom quartet Wren. Their sound have evolved but still retained that initial blast of visceral power that makes audiences, live and at home, take notice. Then, as usually happens, they went quiet. Some feared their demise, but earlier this year they started releasing new material. These new songs were culled from Irk's debut album Recipes from the Bible, which is 40 minutes of math/shronk excellence.
MAGICK MOUNTAIN
Magick Mountain sees guitarist Lins Wilson step out of the sidelines of a plethora of bands including Grammatics & Mother Vulpine, to lead this fuzzy, melodic, garage-rock band. Joining her in creating hard-hitting tunes with psychedelic undertones are Tom Hudson (Pulled Apart By Horses) and Nestor Matthews (Sky Larkin, Menace Beach). Magick Mountain was formed in 2016, after a few years spent tentatively dreaming it up alongside their other bands - Tom and Lins first played together in 2005 as Mother Vulpine, when Lins was also playing with Nestor in Sky Larkin. They have been entwined in the Leeds Music Scene together ever since and finally the stars aligned, to form Magick Mountain. Their debut single, 'Zodiac', was recorded in June 2017 by Robert John Lee (of Pulled Apart By Horses) and released via Come Play With Me, gaining airplay from Huw Stephens (Radio 1) and Gideon Coe (BBC6 Music). The two singers vocals combine to evoke a vague tale of never-ending time and space. In just two and a half minutes, it's a dizzying kick to the stomach, a song that carves out their sound and place in a new movement of garage-rock bands and a taster for what's to come from their debut album set for release in 2019. Magick Mountain have been gigging around the UK, including support for Meatbodies, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Levitation Room, Traams, My Vitriol and The Cribs.
GODSPEED YOU! PETER ANDRE
Godspeed you! Peter Andre …. A new gothic duo set to collide the world of pop royalty with deep dark witch music. Magic realms built by Kaskie (Death of Money / SVNTREADER) & Emma Thompson (Water / Fat Out).
"At the same time, something even darker is transpiring, delivered by the duo known as Godspeed You! Peter Andre. The black-clad room already packed out as the duo begin the flood the space with ominous chanting, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere of dense fog not unlike This Mortal Coil or the more gothic, experimental edge of the 4AD record label, with digitally-altered voices sounding demonic with repeated cries and screams equally parts commanding and pleading. Suddenly, the jackhammer beats take over, and Godspeed You! Peter Andre coalesce into a Downward Spiral-era Nine Inch Nails mesh of organic decay and technology-assisted power, dominating the stage and leading the crowd into dance."
BAG THING on performance at Sounds from the Other City 2018
How about this: New 80's goth-infused hardcore/thrash crossover featuring some familiar faces from Leeds punk favourites of the past few years (Human Certainty, Lugubrious Children, Cheap Surgery etc). Fist pumping metal, but with none of the embarrassing machismo and body odour, nor the tacky irony and hipster detachment. Imagine 'Holy Diver' played through an obnoxious number of chorus pedals.

In the Met catalog, in her essay "The Untimely Face of Munch," Allison Morehead explains, "'He is not attached to any school or any direction,' wrote the Norwegian critic and art historian Jappe Nilssen in 1916, 'because he himself is one of those who advances and creates his own school and forges his own direction.' Surely with Munch's complicity, Nilssen described his friend as both stereotypical avant-garde outsider and chronological anomaly, as an art history unto himself, his own school, his own doctrine, and his own teleology. Perhaps then it is little wonder that Munch made so many self-portraits from the beginning to the end of his career, regularly depicting himself in paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs, and also little wonder that art historians have found them so preoccupying.'" The Scandinavia House show concludes with a short compilation of home movies Munch shot with a Pathé-Baby camera, in which the artist once again focuses on himself as his subject. "I have an old camera with which I have taken countless pictures of myself, often with amazing results," he said in 1930. "Some day when I am old, and I have nothing better to do than write my autobiography, all my self-portraits will see the light of day again." It's fascinating to consider just what Munch, who died in 1944 at the age of eighty, would have thought of contemporary social media and the selfie, offering new opportunities to shine a light on himself.

An important message is that generically produced essential medicines are much more affordable in the international market, and that even rich countries like USA, UK and the Netherlands are importing and using generic drugs in big quantities, and with great satisfaction.
Wilbert Bannenberg, UNDP public health expert, is helping with the set-up of a new government health procurement agency in Ukraine. In this interview, he talks about the role of NGOs, the global public spending on medicines per capita compared to Ukraine's, generic drugs, risks of collusion and whistle-blowing programs.
UNDP has been procuring medicines on behalf of the Ukraine government for over two years now. Starting from April 2019 health procurement is supposed to be transferred to a designated national entity. How is the transition going to happen?
The procurement of medicines after 2019 will require a new government procurement agency to take over public procurement from international agencies. There are several ways for us at UNDP to help the government make the new government procurement agency fully operational.
First of all, we can provide some models of similar agencies that represent global best practices. Even more importantly, based on the experience we gained during these last two years, we can work closely with the staff of the new agency to run a pilot procurement project. This pilot project will offer good opportunities to help develop robust and transparent procedures, and to make sure that the governance model of the new agency is resistant against corruption risks.
The new agency will also mark the switch from an emergency mode to a stable system. How do you see the role of patient organizations and NGOs in the new system?
Patients and NGOs will surely continue to play the role they have played in recent years, in monitoring prices, procedures and performance of the new agency. Prices have significantly decreased from the levels of two-three years ago, however there is still a problem with a low capacity to plan, forecast needs, and prioritize. And we should not forget that a budgetary problem persists: the government's medicines budget simply does not allow to buy essential medicines for all its 40 million citizens.
The Lancet has published evidence that USD 13 – USD 25 per capita is needed to buy the 200 most essential medicines. Currently the public sector has only USD 10 per capita to spend. And for the reasons that I just mentioned, prices are high in Ukraine: for many items around 3-4 times the global benchmark prices.
This makes it even more important that patient groups and NGOs lobby Parliament and Government for higher budgets, a more strategic National Medicines Policy that prioritizes essential medicines, and a more effective medicines pricing policy.
What do you think is the most important lesson learned for UNDP to pass on to the new health procurement agency?
An important message is that generically produced essential medicines are much more affordable in the international market, and that even rich countries like USA, UK and the Netherlands are importing and using generic drugs (copies of brand-name drugs with same dosage, effects, and safety as the original drug) in big quantities, and with great satisfaction.
The local perception in Ukraine is that generics (especially those produced in India) are bad quality. UNDP knows that one can procure affordable, good quality medicines from foreign suppliers. Ukraine's government obviously wants to support the local industry, but when prices are 3-4 times higher, maybe the interests of Ukrainian patients should become the priority?
What are the biggest risks, in your view, connected with this hand over? And are there ways to mitigate them?
Even if the new agency is using the world's best procedures, it could still suffer from 'old problems' like collusion between two or more bidders, where they divide the market and agree who will put a winning bid for each lot. This is hard to prevent and also difficult to prove.
The only thing you can do is to monitor prices, and declare a bidding process invalid if the bids are substantially higher than expected. It is then up to the anti-monopoly committee to try and find evidence of collusion. This is made easier if there is a "whistle-blower" protection program, so that more honest pharmaceutical staff can leak such information.
Are there any specific international best practices you think Ukraine should adopt?
There is consensus in the world about good procurement practices. These are widely published and available. The question is more which of these best practice examples will work best in Ukraine. That will require quite a lot of discussion!

He has completed more than 100 missions related to access to medicines, regulatory support or national medicines policy as a pharmaceutical consultant. Wilbert is the founder and moderator of E-drug, a network that brings together over 4000 healthcare professionals, researchers and policy makers.

Due to various things(my dedicated firewall needs hardware, I have been testing MDK 10.2 & everything gets formatted often, I do not like shorewall & of course, I am lazy :)), I have not had a firewall installed but since this system is going to be on the net for a while and this page has not been tested in a l o n g while, I decided it was a good idea to install one.
Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet \u2014 solicited or otherwise \u2014 was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.
It is the conjuring of a program called Firewall Builder (and, hence, named fwbuilder). It is a very simple firewall that makes your (Mandrake)linux box invisible to those that do have any priviledges to be accessing your system. That is commonly referred to as "stealth mode" and is about as good as you can get without a heck of a lot of customizations.


These bacteria, which were swabbed on previous spacewalks, likely originated from Earth's atmosphere and were perhaps ejected by flows of space dust that scatter particles and microorganisms outward.
Soon we will have NASA's official word on the bacteria found, but until then we know that our very own Commander Randy Bresnik and the rest of the Expedition 53 crew continue to conduct experiments to help deepen our understanding of life in space.
Here's a picture of Commander Bresnik conducting some "no-nonsense" experiments on Newton's Laws…a little floating fidget-spinning.
And by the way, this evening at about 5:30 Charleston-time Commander Bresnik and the International Space Station will be right over our heads. Be sure to look up and give them a wave.
Commander Bresnik's days on this mission are numbered now, with an aniticipated return flight to earth on Dec. 14.

New Delhi, Dec 6 : More than ten patients die daily on an average at the country's premier All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here, according to data provided by the Health Ministry.
As much as 4,432 patients were reported to have died in 2012-13, 4302 in 2013-14, 4467 in 2014-15 and till October this year, 2802 deaths were registered at the institute.
Health Ministry officials said the institute is catering to a large number of patients from across the country on a daily basis, who are often referred to the hospital at critical stages.
AIIMS attends to more than 8,000 patients every day in its OPDs while casualty is visited by about 400 critical patients everyday.
The maximum number of deaths were reported from departments like gastroentrology where 536, 448, 403 and 223 people died in 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 respectively, and Jai Prakash Narayan Trauma Center which registered 631, 624, 544 and 472 deaths during the same period.
"A large number of critical and serious patients with multiple co-morbidities get admitted for treatment at AIIMS, New Delhi. The institute has created High Dependency Units (HDUs) in many wards to reduce mortality," senior ministry official said.
He said keeping in view the admission rate of critically ill patients in AIIMS, government has approved an additional 85 HDU beds and 106 ICU beds over the last three years to cater to the needs of the critically ill patients.

Dr. Jack Cunningham: The right hon. Gentleman has made that allegation more than once, but has not produced a single shred of evidence to substantiate it. He has read the allegation in a newspaper and is simply repeating it in the House. He cannot substantiate it.
Sir George Young: I shall make the point by referring to Romola Christopherson's remarks in The Sunday Times--[Interruption.] I hope that Labour Members will not denigrate a civil servant who has served the Labour party well for the past 18 months. She said:
"But in the Treasury, Mr. Whelan was spinning out of control. Knocking chunks off departments and Ministers, working Mr. Brown up and others over, he raised hackles and pints."
Indeed, the more one reads about Mr. Whelan, the odder it seems that he was ever allowed in the Treasury in the first place.
The tensions that I have mentioned have, in recent weeks, led to much distress for the Government, over which I shed few tears. However, there have been some worrying developments, both for civil servants and for news management. I think that the House needs to be concerned with those developments.
Jill Rutter, a former head of the Treasury press office, made the point well at a meeting of the Social Market Foundation. She said:
"Once the news is out--in a speech or an official release--it is a free good. But unreleased information is a valuable commodity. The genius of the government's news managers is to recognise and exploit that fact and use it to create a long-term dependence relationship."
She went on to warn that we could be turning the Government information service into a
"powerful machine to secure the permanent advantages of incumbency."
Mr. Bercow: While my right hon. Friend is dealing with that important point, will he recall that the current Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, in his earlier capacity as Minister for School Standards, shamefully sought to bully a career information officer, Mr. Jonathan Haslam, into putting more political spin into a press release on education? When Mr. Haslam refused to comply with the instruction, the right hon. Gentleman reported him to the permanent secretary. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Haslam left the public service. Is that not a shameful state of affairs?
Sir George Young: My hon. Friend refers to the incident in which the official, who left his post shortly
13 Jan 1999 : Column 332
after the incident occurred, was said to have insisted that it was a party political matter with which civil servants should not have become involved. It is a good example of some of the changes that have occurred.
I should say, as an aside, that the Labour party's disciplined and centralised approach to policy announcements is in marked contrast to the Liberal Democrats's approach. The Liberal Democrats' more devolved and relaxed style permits a more flexible approach to policy, readily adaptable to an urban or a rural environment. If I may say so, I prefer the third way that has been adopted by the Conservative party.
Jill Rutter's warning, which I have quoted, should concern all hon. Members. The use of the ownership of a valuable commodity to secure favourable coverage in the press--and, conversely, withholding information, which is the raw material of a journalist, from those who are less co-operative--is a dangerous development. That concern was shared by the Select Committee on Public Administration. I pay tribute to the work of my hon. Friend the Member for Chichester (Mr. Tyrie) on that Select Committee. Although a number of amendments put forward by Conservatives and Liberal Democrats were voted down by the Labour majority, many of the recommendations that were carried were aimed at clarifying the distinction between effective presentation of Government policy and party political advocacy.
Another worrying development was the production last July of the Government's annual report. All references to bad news were airbrushed out and it contained a number of political aspirations better located in an election manifesto.
We have also seen a tendency to recycle information. We all approve of the proposition that 65 per cent. of new houses should be built on recycled land, but we now have a policy that 65 per cent. of all press notices should be recycled news. On Monday, the Secretary of State for Education and Employment announced that £55 million was to be spent on teaching more maths. The press release was headlined, "Times tables key in £55 million numeracy drive". The money turned out to be a close relation of the £60 million announced for the same purpose back on 8 July under the heading, "£60 million boost makes maths count". Sadly, £5 million had been lost on the journey.
The Government amendment shows no recognition of the important issues raised in the debate and by serious political commentators on the civil service. The Minister's speech also lacked any recognition of those points. The more that one reads about the Government, the more that one asks how collective government can work with such a poisonous cocktail of warring personalities jockeying for position under the Prime Minister. The Government's reaction to the crisis has been a counter-offensive featuring speeches. The Chancellor's keynote speech on Monday was described by The Guardian yesterday as "humourless, repetitive and earnest" and its message as
"nothing if not familiar in its content and its now unchallengeable banality."
Hon. Members on both sides want a more positive response. In the words of The Scotsman on 5 January:
"It is time for Mr. Blair to put this wretched period behind him and replace the fetish for style with some radical substance."
That is a difficult challenge for a Government whose programme, lacking a theme or any philosophical continuity, is merely a rag-bag of items derived from focus groups.
What is happening is bad not just for the Government, but for the House of Commons and for democracy. Despite regular warnings from Madam Speaker, many Government announcements are so comprehensively trailed that telling Parliament is an afterthought. Journalists get more information earlier than Parliament does. Proper scrutiny is becoming more difficult. That adds to the sidelining of Parliament, something that concerns hon. Members on both sides.
Mr. Fraser Kemp (Houghton and Washington, East): The right hon. Gentleman seeks objectivity from Prime Minister's press secretaries. Does he believe that the comments of Sir Bernard Ingham, a previous Prime Minister's press secretary who referred to John Biffen as "semi-detached" and Francis Pym as "Mona Lott", were conducive to good Cabinet government?
Sir George Young: Sir Bernard Ingham is well able to defend himself. He was a civil servant and rigidly defined his role as never crossing the boundary between the civil service and party politics. Alastair Campbell is not a civil servant; he is a special adviser. That is the key difference.
Dr. Jack Cunningham rose--
Sir George Young: I am not giving way. I have given way once. I have given way lots of times.
Dr. Cunningham rose--
Sir George Young: No, I am not giving way.
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Alan Haselhurst): Order. You all have to give way to me. It is clear that the right hon. Member for North-West Hampshire (Sir G. Young) is not giving way.
Sir George Young: A number of hon. Members want to speak and I have given way several times.
Alastair Campbell is a special adviser. Despite many warnings from Madam Speaker, the Government have adopted a dismissive approach to the rights of Parliament. In the words of The Times:
"This Government has played fast and loose with the principle of Parliamentary scrutiny and thus the right of the people's elected representatives to check the powerful, in an effort to shape the media agenda."
The chickens are coming home to roost. I can do no better than end with a perceptive quotation made by Matthew Parris six months ago:
"This world and these men"--
he was referring to the spin doctors--
"will be the downfall of Mr. Blair. These are not the fire-fighters, they are the fire and they will burn him."
Dr. David Clark (South Shields): I very much welcome this debate, and I am delighted that the Liberal Democrats have chosen this issue for discussion this afternoon. I only regret that we have not touched on the big questions that are posed by information not only to our democracy, but to our commerce and industry. I regret
that the Liberal Democrats have emphasised the minutiae and left the big picture. I would like to develop some of the big ideas as well.
It seemed to me that the right hon. Member for North-West Hampshire (Sir G. Young), the official Opposition spokesman, built his speech on fanciful notions and false presumptions, and I will pick up on some of those points as I go along.
It is clear to me that information is power. Perhaps it is because I am old Labour, but I can recollect all the trade union banners of old which showed that the point that education and information are power was recognised by those pioneers. It is as true today as it was then. Information poses a challenge to us as members of the legislature in terms of how we access power. I shall return to this matter in discussing the White Paper on the right to know and the freedom of information Bill. Information is critical to the struggle that goes on under all Administrations between the legislature and the Executive, and that is right and healthy.
The other aspect of the debate is the relationship between the Government and the citizen. With many more outlets to dispense and disseminate information, it is critical that the citizen have access to information. I would argue, and the Government recognise, that information is a critical part of the democratic process. It should not be a bolt-on aspect, but an intrinsic part of the democratic process. The Labour party recognised that in opposition, and we tried to put it in practice from day one in government. It is ironic that information technology allows an increasing amount of information to be disseminated, and it is through IT that we need to tackle the matter.
There has been a great deal of discussion about the special Order in Council concerning Alastair Campbell, and the role of the Government at that time. We took the decision for the very reason that the right hon. Member for North-West Hampshire outlined when he cited Sir Bernard Ingham as an independent career civil servant. He was a career civil servant, but nobody could challenge his instinctive feel for what the then Prime Minister was thinking. He pulled no punches. I do not grumble about that--that is the job of a good press officer to the Prime Minister.
With that in mind, we felt it important that, to ensure the political integrity and neutrality of the career civil servant, we should have the Order in Council, and that we should make this special exception for Alastair Campbell--as the Prime Minister's press officer--to be a civil servant as a special adviser. He is a civil servant, but he is not a career civil servant. We felt that that was the best and most transparent approach.


In 2009, E-Discovery expert Craig Ball asked an important question.
He hypothesized a small-firm attorney named Edna, with a budget of $1,000 for e-discovery, and challenged vendors to provide a solution. He called it the 'EDna Challenge'.
In 2016, Craig Ball updated his EDna Challenge.
The review would take 90 days and the case would be active for 2 years.
What did the EDna Challenges teach us?
The challenges had a phenomenal response. Even back in 2009, a number of software vendors and consultants proposed solutions. Some claimed that it was an impossible goal to achieve, some lowered their prices, and others proposed combining different pieces of software.
E-discovery is not affordable for the majority of cases.
E-discovery software is not easy to use for the majority of lawyers.
Only in 'Edna Part 2' in 2016 was the affordability factor addressed, mostly by SaaS solutions coming in at around $4000-5000; with one company at $2205 and GoldFynch at almost half that at $1200. And aside from GoldFynch, which has pricing listed on the website. you still had to shop around for proposals with all the vendors to get the best price.
Small and solo firms are being left in the lurch.
Your clients deal primarily with electronic documents. They send out thousands of emails, store digital documents in different file formats, and even scan paper documents to store them electronically.
You can't rely on printing electronic material to paper. It's inefficient, bad for the environment, and you lose out on the metadata that comes along with the digital file.
Countries are passing e-discovery laws: the US (in over 30 states), European Union countries, Australia, U.K, Singapore, and New Zealand (Read about Terry Harrison's efforts in South Africa); and more are following suit. Courts will order law firms to deal with 'discovery' electronically, for dispute arbitration.
You'll need to get on board with e-discovery in the best interest of your clients and firm. The last thing you want is for your clients will choose other attorneys, simply because you cannot handle e-discovery.
GoldFynch embodies the spirit of EDna.
It is the only real option for small firms with small cases. As its developers, we find the lack of e-discovery options unacceptable. And in this age of Web 2.0 and SaaS models, prices need to be transparent.
Your price is all-inclusive and is clearly available on the website (even without signing up).
Signup is absolutely frictionless. You get to try out the software for free. To get started, all you need is an email address. (You'll need a credit card only if you want a premium case). There is no need for quotes, RFP, RFI etc. Just use it!
You get all the features with your starter free case and data up to 1 GB.
Find out more about GoldFynch.
Whatever your E-Discovery solution, keep the following in mind..
The cloud is the only way to save costs. It's a lot cheaper in the long run, especially with cost-effective solutions like GoldFynch. And while the cloud gets a bad reputation for security, those issues have been addressed. It is easier for a hacker to get into your desktop than the cloud. Remember: with cloud solutions, you don't have to deal with hardware and software issues.
You shouldn't need much training to use your software because you will only be using a limited feature set – like tagging, redaction and production. You should be able to just sign-up and go.
Your software needs a good 'document review' tool that handles all file types. Opening different file formats with their respective software (Microsoft Word; Adobe Acrobat, etc.) is ineffective and cumbersome.
Eliminate as much data as you can in the beginning. This will make things easier down the line. Sure, cloud-based e-discovery solutions like GoldFynch can handle ever-growing quantities of data, but you still have to review the results. No matter how fast your search results are returned, the weakest link is still the human reviewer.
Read about the proposed solutions in the comments section of the blog post EDna: Still Cheap and Challenged.
There is an excellent summary by Bill Dimm at Clustify, of the ACEDS 2016 E-Discovery Conference.
The slides from the ACEDS presentation are available online for purchase through ACEDS.
EDJ Group's Greg Buckles summarized a RFP (membership required) he had issued with similar requirements as the EDna 2 challenge.

Flavia Annese returns to A and does so with the Capena
After the moment of pause, the former Bisceglie Pugliese scooter returns to the fields of the national category and does so with the utmost enthusiasm with the colors of the Capena. High class pawn, already called in the Italian national team, determination and heart to sell: the new number 10 already speaks of great personal stimulus also to regain the blue shirt.
- After the national call and the positive period with Bisceglie you had to leave the Serie A for work reasons, now you find the national category with the Capena what are your feelings and your expectations?
"Putting futsal on stand-by was a forced and painful choice, especially in such a positive period. Resuming is a unique emotion, especially with a reality like the Capena, solid and ambitious. "
- How did the group look after the first training sessions?
"The impressions are absolutely positive, obviously it's a new group for me, where I'm trying to tiptoe, but the girls are making it simple for me."
- What do you expect from this season?
"I don't like to make proclamations, I always let the field speak, but at the same time I don't hide, the group has great potential, working and following the instructions of the coach we can take away a lot of satisfaction. From a personal point of view, I want to resume the feeling with the field and where I left off. "
- Would you like to win back the national team?
"Obviously yes, wearing my national team shirt I think is the dream of any athlete, having had the honor of experiencing such emotion pushes me even more to believe and engage myself."

En papillote is French for "in parchment," and essentially means baking these aromatic veggies in an envelope. The paper seals in all that flavor, allowing the carrots and parsnips to simmer in their own juices. Look for unbleached parchment, which is not treated with chlorine.

How can I buy a home pregnancy test or an ovulation test?
How can I buy a home pregnancy test?
What is a urine pregnancy test? And how does it work?
A home pregnancy test measures the presence of a specific hormone of pregnancy in your urine: the human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG. The amount of hCG in your body doubles every 2-3 days from the implantation of the fertilized egg.
How and when to test for pregnancy?
The test can usually be done at any time of the day. It does not necessary need to be done with the first morning urine. However, you should avoid drinking too much liquid before the test. Place the end of the stick a few seconds in fresh urine; after a few minutes it will then display a plus or minus or an extra sign indicating if you're pregnant or not.
After ovulation, the egg will be released in the Fallopian tube and reach your uterus. It can be fertilized by the sperm in the Fallopian tube or after it reaches the uterus: it's called the conception. A couple of days after conception, it will then nest in the uterus: it's called the implantation. It is estimated that something goes wrong for the fertilized egg in 20% of pregnancies and end up in a miscarriage, also called spontaneous abortion. If the egg does not develop correctly, the body will fail the implantation, and will evacuate it like a menstruation.
Home pregnancy tests from good brands are normally over 99% accurate when they are used from the day your period is due. The accuracy of a pregnancy test will vary depending on when you do the test.
Tests are very sensitive nowadays; you can already start to use a home pregnancy test 9-10 days after conception, i.e. a couple of days before the first day of your (expected) missed period. If you have a negative pregnancy test and you still suspect a pregnancy, you should wait at least 2 days to get the most accuracy before retesting because it may be that you have done the first test too early.
In case of a doubt, you should check your pregnancy with a pregnancy blood test prescribed by your physician.
If your period is late it could mean you are pregnant. But what if the pregnancy test is negative? PregnancySymptoms.com explains why this might be.


This is a memoir that focuses on the Chugach transient killer whale pod, otherwise known as the AT1s, located in and around Prince William Sound, and how the Exxon Valdez oil spill affected them as the top predators of the food chain, narrated by Saulitis, who had her first encounter with them right before the spill. Heartbreaking, with little promise of recovery on the part of the Chugach transients, this memoir is a beautiful portrayal of what it was like to come to know these killer whales and to observe their decline. It is all the more poignant for knowing that killer whales are long-lived animals, and the connections Saulitis draws between the inevitable loss of the culture the killer whales share and the loss of the last native Eyak speaker. The intimacy Saulitis feels with these killer whales is palpable throughout, but it is at the very end, when she comes into the closest physical proximity with Eyak than she has ever done before, that it is all brought into heartbreaking relief.
How did we even get it into our heads that we should be able to capture animals the size of whales and have them live in captivity? Turns out, it was kind of a fluke. The killer whale that got captured – Moby Doll – was supposed to be killed, then measured while still in the water (so that the size would remain accurate), and then be used to create a life-size model of the creature for display purposes.
Moby Doll became an instant celebrity (surprise surprise), and people lined up just to get a glimpse of him (yes, him, because he was not properly identified as a male until after death), even though he mostly just swam around in circles, listless. He refused to eat for a while, and was moved around a couple of times – you can imagine how difficult it was to procure a proper aquarium for him – before seeming to warm up to his caregivers. All in all, there was quite a bit of drama surrounding Moby Doll, and it's quite an interesting read seeing how this one killer whale helped change popular perception of these animals so that both the public as well as the scientific communities could view and study them without the same bias as before. Not that they're gentle giants, all of them, but Moby Doll helped to broaden people's perspective on killer whales, to consider that they might have nuanced lives and even – culture.
And speaking of culture, there are so many instances of what might constitute culture in cetacean societies as outlined by Hal Whitehead and Luke Rendell in The Cultural Lives of Whales and Dolphins! It's absolutely fascinating and I can't recommend this book enough! I found this volume to be a great foundation upon which to read the other books in this post, and it brought up a lot of questions for me when I did read Into Great Silence as well as Are Dolphins Really Smart?, because some of the information seemed at odds with each other across books. I discuss this a bit further down.
It is written in a somewhat denser way (with physically denser type as well), so it may come across as intimidating at first glance. (For post-secondary students, it may look and sound very similar in style to articles you've been assigned in class, which may either strike you as an attractive feature or something to regard with absolute disgust – I won't judge.) Either way, do not let that put you off reading this delightful volume! It is well laid out and organized such that it is very easy to follow along, and the authors take care to explain where they stand as well as opposing viewpoints, which I feel is, unfortunately, rare in the books I pick up. It's always a delight when authors are upfront about it! And I know I've said this before about other books, but I always feel the need to point out how important it is to define terms, especially when what's under discussion is something as nebulous as "culture", and Whitehead & Rendell do a pretty in-depth coverage of the various meanings that have been meant by the term before detailing what the definition is that they are going with for the rest of the book. Greggs (below) also does the same for the term "intelligence", which is another one of those terms mired in ambiguity.
Possible evidence of culture in dolphins and whales, each meriting their own chapter, where social learning is the key argument (e.g. humpback whale songs, sponging foraging behaviour in some dolphins).
Why Whitehead & Rendell believe these observations merit the term "culture". They present background information, their own arguments, their opponents' arguments, followed by their responses to those counterarguments. It's pretty grand.
They even state point blank that yes, there is room for doubt and you could explain some of the observations away from being culture. But then they explain why they think it's culture (it's a more elegant explanation sometimes, for starters), and the certainty with which they can tack on the label of "culture" to these behaviours.
A treasure trove of endnotes, followed by pages upon pages of bibliographical information. I rarely actually look at the bibliographies even when they're given, but I had a couple of things I wanted to read more about in-depth because Are Dolphins Really Smart? by Justin Gregg covered some of the same information… except presented in a very different slant. So it was great to be able to check in on both books' notes sections and find that, yes, they used the exact same sources for the two instances that I wanted to double check, and that yes, there is enough information in the citation for me to search it up on my own and see what the original articles say. As I said, I rarely do this, but it's great that I actually have the option to do so!
As a slight aside, If you've read Palumbi & Palumbi's The Extreme Life of the Sea, you might remember there's a fascinating little note about how both sperm whales and giant squid are less genetically diverse as a species than might be expected, and how a genetic bottleneck might be the explanation behind that. Whitehead & Rendell present their own take on why genetic diversity is low in sperm whales (and other matrilineal cetaceans, including killer whales). Saulitis and Whitehead & Rendell discuss genetic bottlenecks in both their books, and it got a little confusing because it sounded like they were saying completely opposite things. But it will make sense once you understand Saulitis' comment as being "for a killer whale population this insular, there is a surprising amount of genetic diversity" rather than interpreting the statement as one that talks to animals in general. This might make little sense to you now, but if you decide to read both books, I was pretty flummoxed for a couple of days. You're welcome.
I've been making a couple references to Are Dolphins Really Smart?, so let's talk a bit about this one now.
Gregg spends the entire book debunking all the popular dolphin myths (e.g. re: language; their abnormally peaceful societies… their friendly, smiling faces), so if you're looking for information that confirms what you think you know about dolphins, this is not where you want to go. However, if falling prey to confirmation bias strikes you as something you don't want to be doing, this is a handy little book to make you rethink the way you approach claims about dolphin intelligence. It's not all about pulling the dolphin down from its pedestal so much as trying to question the pedestal itself and what it actually means at all: are we approaching studying "animal intelligence" all the wrong way?
Gregg starts with defining what he means when he uses the term "intelligence" throughout the entire book, which is actually a lot more important than you might think: in the vernacular, we might think we know what intelligence means, or that of course we know how to quantify it and thus measure it across the board, but "I think you'll find it a bit more complicated than that" (as Goldacre put it). As a whole, I personally think Gregg might have pushed the message that dolphins aren't anything that we think they are just a bit too forcefully, but it was definitely quite refreshing right after reading The Cultural Lives of Whales and Dolphins! Besides which, although I would have enjoyed a slightly more magnanimous approach to debunking dolphin myths (this resembles more a single-sided demolition), it's also undeniable that dolphins enjoy a public perception that places them well beyond gentle reminders that they might not be able to teleport to Mars and dry, scientific papers that don't reach much of the general public.
There was a chapter on language and what constitutes language, and how only natural language (i.e. human language) has been able to check all the boxes that render it a Language per se, that I found well explained. Gregg even tries to rank dolphin communication in terms of language, and compares delphinid scores to bees, groundhogs, and other animals across the kingdom to demonstrate how unremarkable dolphins score. For all this, I feel as though the entire book actually banks a lot on the general adoration on the part of the masses in order to appeal to readers: if you still love dolphins despite all that Gregg has now laid out, you have to think about why, and how to justify it. The last paragraph is a very clear stepping out of the role of Gregg, someone who wants to drag dolphins down from their pedestal, to Gregg, who thinks we're thinking about the pedestal all wrong. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly, except to remind readers that you should complement this with another cetacean book or at least to follow up on some of the topics, because of reasons I'll detail right below.
I personally found it enlightening in that both Gregg and Whitehead & Rendell (above) use some of the same sources – at the very least, two of the same articles, because I went in looking into specific topics in the endnotes in order to find out more about why they were saying what sounded like different things – except the way they portray the information, and which information they choose to present, change the way the reader would interpret what they take away from the text altogether. This is another reason why I love seeing extensive endnotes and bibliography sections! They make me weak at the knees and there's a good reason for it, which I don't really have space to get into here, but suffice it to say that when you're reading two published books by figures of what you might assume are authority in their fields, and they say even just slightly different things even though they were published just 2 years apart, it's a relief to be able to check in on which sources they used, when those were published, and how on earth the same source got interpreted in different ways (or interpreted the same way but used for different purposes because the goals of each book were vastly different).
