A key component of workplace ethics and behavior is integrity, being honest and doing the right things at all times. When it comes to ethics in the field of finance, ethical behavior is so important because finance involves the management of other people's capital. Ethics in finance is one of the main things which everyone has to follow from the small, medium, and big level company because almost all the country depend upon the financial background of the country because without financial component, no business can run for a long time. The assumption of modern financial-economic theory runs counter to the ideas of honesty, devotion, dependability and loyalty. Ethics in finance may vary from different industries to different but everyone is liable to do their work at utmost good faith. People who are involved in finance activity have to serve both their company and their customers at utmost good faith.
Profit, but not at any cost: – A modern capitalist economy has its very foundation the principle of profit. Without profit, the economy doesn't grow. Thus, financial service professionals are obliged to pursue a profit as the result of their activities. However, a modern economy only works if that profit is earned within a framework of rules and regulations that apply and are adhered by everyone. Profit should be earned by following the rules and regulations, not by conducting any wrong practice.
The client's interest first: – Financial services is a wide sector and the 'client' may take many shapes and forms. Client can be any investor or the government. Whoever the client might be, an ethical approach to financial services will always put the client's interest first. Financial services should see their own income as reward for improving the financial health of their client's .There is nothing wrong with a fund or its manager making money, bit their profit should not come at the expense of their clients.
A commitment to excellence: – An ethical approach to financial services would see professionals and the organisations that they represent constantly striving to do the best job they possibly can do under the circumstances. This means avoiding a mentality of doing enough, and stopping there. Commitment to both excellent results and technical accuracy in each step of the processes leading to that result which is required.
Ethics prioritized over client instruction: – unethical behaviour in Financial Services can also be provoked by clients themselves. Whether it be through strong encouragement to help them minimize tax within the grey areas of international tax law, or any other activity that could be interpreted as giving them an unfair advantage, it is far from uncommon for financial services professionals to be put under pressure by their clients to conduct activities they may not consider ethical. Financial Services run ethically will prioritize ethical conduct even when by doing so they may decline to undertake activities expressly requested by the client, even at the risk of losing that client's business.
Legal is not always ethical: – There may be many instances where a particular course of action may be considered unethical despite not directly contravening the laws and the regulations. Ethical financial services means choosing not to act in a certain way, or perform certain activities, despite the fact that doing so may not technically mean breaking any laws. Choosing not to exploit technicalities that may mean an activity is legal because it is considered unethical is the mark of a truly ethical approach.
Accuracy: – A company's financial manager ensures that all financial publications accurately and fairly reflect the financial condition of the company. Accounting errors and financial fraud. Such as what was seen in the cases of Enron and WorldCom, damage the interests of shareholders, employees and affect confidence in the financial system. Some Organizations makes ethics guidelines specifically for financial managers.
Transparency: – Financial documents reflect a company's performance relative to its peers, the internal strengths and weakness. Regulatory agencies require publicity traded companies to submit periodic financial statements and make full disclosures of material information. Transparency means explaining financial information clearly, especially for those who aren't familiar with the company's operations. Financial managers should not hide, obscure or otherwise render relevant financial information impossible for ordinary shareholders to understand.
Timeless: – Timely financial information is just as important as accurate and transparent information. Management, investors and other stakeholders require timely information to make the right decisions. Many cases exist of a publicly trade company's stock reacting sharply and negatively to negative earnings surprises or unpleasant product-related news. For example, a company should promptly disclose manufacturing problems that could temporarily affect sales. Similarly, the company should not hold back news of a major contract loss in the hope that it can replace the lost revenue with new contracts.
Integrity: – Financial managers should strive for unimpeachable integrity. Customers, shareholders and employees should be able to trust a financial manager's word. Managers should not allow prejudice, bias and conflicts of interest to influence their actions. Managers should disclose real or apparent conflicts of interest.
Earnings management is a tool for satisfying self-interest of the managers. But, it can be used for the welfare of the stake holders, if it is ethically used. So, to get the optimum benefit, accounting standards should be ensured. Finally, the consciousness and the morality of the stake holders can turn this malpractice into a good one if the motivations behind the earnings management are free from evil intentions.
What is the main reason for Considering ethics in finance??
Your hard work says it all.
good written article with good examples… use of pictures is attractive…. hope you will write more better blogs in future. All the best !!
Can you give some examples of violation of ethics in the companies ?
Exceptionally well. Quite informative and can easily rely on the information served by you. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Well knitted blog, but can you state any example where legal isn't ethical?
Exploiting workers is common way that businesses choose to increase their profits. These practices are not ethical. These include paying them low wages or outsourcing their manufacturing activities overseas. They know that some foreign countries have little or no laws about minimum wages and forced labor. Others force their workers to work extra hours and fire those who raise complaints.
What is the major reason for considering ethics in financie sector?
Finance is all about quantitative aspects. Financial department of every organisation has the responsibility to ascertain true position of profit and loses, financial position, fund raising and much more. If there would be any lack of ethics in finance all the above estimations would be wrong and therefore, this will harm the interest of the customers.
Honestly, your best yet! I'll say, the way it's written is commendable. The examples made me understand everything much better!
Yes I totally agree with your views.
Ethics is mandatory to be followed in each and every field.heights .
What was the major reason that ethics should be implemented in the field of finance ? Ethics being qualitative and finance being quantitative , what is the relation between these two things which are different in nature ?
Following ethics is important in every field whether it is finance , hr , marketing or in day to day life also. The major reason for implementing ethics in finance was that finance is a core part of a organisation which handles all the quantitative aspects of that. If there would be no ethics or unethical practices followed , it will coat a lot to the customers, and the organisation also as it is all related to money. Being unethical in case of money would be the greatest loss as the financial position of the organisation would not be identified properly , morover, there would be wrong estimation of profit and loses and true actions would not be taken in tge organisation due to all the wrong estimations.
Can you state a case of a company which was accused for following unethical practices in finance ?
Yes, there is big case we are hearing now a days in news i.e about ICICI bank 'Chanda Kochhar's case. Which has be in alligations of nepotism and curroption in loans granted by the private sector lender to the videocon group.
What is objective of ethics in the field of finance ? And why that objective is specified by you for that particular field ?
The main of objective of ethics in finance is the relaibility of the financial statements of an organisation…. because at the end business is all dependent on its financial position in order to raise fund, in order for production, and also to have a goodwill in the market.

Thought Bubble: Amazon Dash comes to the UK
August 31st, 2016August 31st, 2016
Amazon has announced the UK launch of its Dash instant purchase buttons. These wirelessly enabled buttons are linked to a user's Amazon account, allowing them to add certain items to their Amazon basket once pressed. Following the US launch in March 2015, Amazon has rolled out 40 Dash Buttons in the UK. Here, Mintel's expert analysts explore whether consumers are willing to push the button…
Nick Carroll, Senior Retail Analyst
The Dash Buttons are the latest in a string of launches from Amazon designed to capture a greater market share in the household and grocery categories. From the launch of Amazon Pantry in November 2015 to the launch of Amazon Fresh in June 2016, and the launch of the original Amazon Dash device in July 2016, Amazon is certainly serious about its move into the household and grocery categories.
Crucially, all of their new launches require an Amazon Prime subscription, meaning if the retailer can encourage new consumers into the business through these new services it will be likely to be to the benefit of the wider business by locking consumers into the Amazon ecosystem. It will take time to roll out these services across the UK and build a successful business to compete with market leaders, but Amazon has started off strong by offering competent and convenient services.
Catherine Cottney, Trends Manager Europe
Convenience is a key concern for today's consumers, and they're looking for platforms and devices that can streamline their lives in order to better maximise their time. The Dash Buttons have already proved a success in the US as they offer an easy way for consumers to order a range of everyday essentials online without needing to unlock their phone or open their laptop.
As Amazon continues to roll out Dash Buttons globally, we'll see this technology develop further. Brands are already taking steps to better integrate Dash Buttons into the hardware itself. In January 2016, Whirlpool announced that its connected appliances will have Amazon Dash Buttons integrated into their functionality. We've also seen this technology employed beyond Amazon: German e-tailer Otto has released internet-connected stickers to make one-touch ordering possible.
Brands that can monitor usage, prompt consumers as to when they are running low on a certain product and simplify the path to purchase will not only appeal to time-pressed individuals but will also ensure their own custom.
Richard Hopping, Brand and Social Media Analyst
Mintel's Shopping for Household Care Products UK 2015 report found that only 3% of household care shoppers used online retailers to make a purchase. Instead, consumers tend to shop for household products at the same time as they are grocery shopping, highlighting that convenience is a key influencer on shopping in this sector.
While the UK launch of Amazon Dash taps into this demand for convenience, the cost of shopping for household products is a key factor for many, and may well be one of the main barriers to take-up of Amazon Dash. Mintel research shows that savvy consumers are willing to buy cheaper own-label products, often considered to do just as good a job as branded products, as well as use cheaper discounter stores. In addition, our research indicates that consumers like to stock up on products when they are on special offer. Amazon Dash's focus on higher priced household brands goes against this cost-saving trend and limits some of the flexibility to look for better value deals.
For some, Amazon Dash will take the strain out of buying household products, albeit at a potentially higher cost. For those who prefer to look for household bargains, the convenience of Amazon Dash may not be worth the extra cost that the limited selection of brands and products results in. As such, Amazon Dash is likely to be limited to wealthier consumers who are willing to spend more on convenient ways to purchase household staples.
Senior Retail Analyst at Mintel, Nick Carroll currently writes a range of UK & European retail reports and is regularly called upon to comment on breaking retail stories in the UK's leading media. Prior to joining Mintel Nick worked for over eight years in retail for both Jones Bootmaker and Barratts.

by Laura NyroLaura Nyro
After a five-year hiatus, singer/songwriter Laura Nyro returned in 1976 with Smile. On this disc, Nyro's somewhat idiosyncratic writing and performance style is decidedly subdued. In its stead is a light pop and jazz feel similar to that of Maria Muldaur's mid-'70s recordings. Supporting Nyro instrumentally is virtually a who's-who of New York and Los Angeles studio stalwarts. While the prowess of folks like Will Lee (bass), brothers Randy Brecker (trumpet) and Michael Brecker (flute/sax), Hugh McCracken (guitar), and Rick Marotta (drums) certainly strengthens Nyro's already laid-back material, it likewise reduces her to sounding like a Joni Mitchell ripoff. The undeniable highlight of Smile is the maturity in the songwriting. It becomes obvious that the half-decade away has done some significant good in revealing a decidedly positive evolution in Nyro's approach to her own life. What's more is that the material on this album seems to come from a place of contentment. The influence of her work with the female soul vocal trio LaBelle on Gonna Take a Miracle -- prior to her mini-retirement -- also seems to be a source of inspiration throughout this disc. The high and tight vocal harmonies (all of which are credited to Nyro) are wholly rewarding and hark back to her R&B-induced "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Stoned Soul Picnic." This is most evident on the opening track, "Sexy Mama" (penned by Harry Ray, Joe Robinson, and Al Goodman), which was also a hit for the R&B vocal group the Moments. The intimate nature of "I Am the Blues" and "Midnite Blue" are reminiscent of older Nyro favorites such as "Emmie" and "Captain St. Lucifer." In all, Smile is much like a musical letter from an old acquaintance and casts a direct light onto the next phase in Laura Nyro's recording career.

Helen M. Orcutt of the Tulsa Examiner recently published an outstanding article about Oak Alley Plantation, featuring our newest exhibit "Slavery at Oak Alley."
Ms. Orcutt mentioned several key aspects of the Oak Alley experience that made the visit special for her: our Southern hospitality, beautiful Big House and grounds, and our determination to keep history "alive" for our visitors. She was fascinated about the inclusiveness created by the beautiful antebellum Big House mansion and reconstructed slave quarters, both of which help us tell the complete story of Oak Alley's 300-year-old history.
When building an engaging new exhibit, how does Oak Alley research the best methods for sharing history?
Happy anniversary to our Executive Director, Zeb Mayhew, Jr. Today, Zeb celebrates 37 years of overseeing the many rewarding and challenging responsibilities of managing Oak Alley. The experience of our visitors today is a product of his vision for Oak Alley's future. Zeb's moto has always been "Hold fast to that which is good." Congratulations Zeb, you have always been a great leader and inspiration to all of us.

What does a point on the normal distribution represent?
Here's another Quora answer I'm reposting here. This is the question, followed by my answer.
What does the value of a point on the normal distribution actually represent, if anything?
It's important to note the difference between discrete and continuous random variables as we answer this question. Though naming conventions vary, I think most mathematicians would agree that a discrete random variable has a Probability Mass Function (PMF) and a continuous random variable has a Probability Density Function (PDF).
So what is the probability that a continuous random variable takes on a certain value? For example, assume a certain type of fish has length that is normally distributed with mean 22 cm and standard deviation 1.6 cm. What is the probability of selecting a fish exactly 26 cm long? That is, what is ?
The answer, for any continuous random variable, is zero. More formally, if is a continuous random variable with support , then for all .
For the fish problem, this actually does make sense. Think about it. You pull a fish out of the water which you claim is 26 cm long. But is it really 26 cm long? Exactly 26 cm long? Like 26.00000… cm long? With what precision did you make that measurement? This should explain why the probability is zero.
If instead you want to ask about the probability of getting a fish between 25.995 and 26.005 cm long, that's perfectly fine, and you'll get a positive answer for the probability (it's a small answer :-).
Let's return to the words mass and density for a second. Think about what those words mean in a physics context. Imagine having a point mass–this is in an ideal case–then the mass of that point is defined by a discrete function. In reality, though, we have density functions that assign a density to each point in an object.
Think about a 1-dimmensional rod with density function . What is the mass of this rod at ? Of course, the answer is zero! This should make intuitive sense. Of course, we can get meaningful answers to questions like: What is the mass of the rod between and ? The answer is .
Does the physical understanding of mass vs density clear things up for you?

First Pres Orlando | Stream | Message: "Creating the Feast"
God's call to human beings, and them alone, was to "fill the earth and subdue it." The word "subdue" is not one that means to beat into submission, but implies stewardship or trusteeship. We are called to not only fill the earth, but to create a society of the people that have been created, one that honors and reflects the Lord. Thus, everything we do is about creating culture. Our work is about making a contribution to the creation of a culture that reflects God. Could there be anything more rewarding than that?


This blog was started as it related to the book No Contact: Ending a Destructive Relationship. The relationship which ends is abusive/destructive to the person wanting to eliminate contact or if that is not possible, to restrict contact as much as possible.
Another way contact can end a relationship is as is described in the article written by Esther Kane, MSW, RSW, Registered Clinical Counselor. In this article the author describes the end of a familial relationship through a cut-off. She says people who have gone through this are as bewildered as they are devastated.
Below is a link to the article that was written in 2011 with some thoughts about family who have been cut-off by other family members. According to Kane, it is a pretty common phenomenon especially after the holidays.

It's been a few weeks since I updated Tot School but we are chugging along! It seems every month or so I change the format of our learning, so I am not really sure if she is learning anything or not. She is definitely having fun, though, and that's what matters!
Every Monday, I have been swapping out the contents of the sand table, Coloured pasta, coloured rice, orange lentils and coloured chick peas have all made an appearance, I am hoping in the future to do coloured oatmeal, and if I can find enough at a decent price, aquarium rocks.
The pasta is one of my favourites because it can be used in many ways. We sorted colours and shapes, and attempted to thread onto pipe cleaners.
She had some success, but she was being a bit to rough, causing the pipe cleaner to bend and making it harder.
For the last couple of weeks, we have been settling into a format. While I cook dinner, Salean either does art or works on a tot tray, I chose dinner prep time because Daddy is working away again and she wants to be with me all the time. It is also a good time because I can keep an eye on her without interfering, and it has a concrete end time, when dinner is ready. I find transitioning from activities easier when there is a concrete end time and can present something else right away, like a plate of food.
We always go out to Grandma's on Saturday night, and Sundays are usually crazy or we go out as a family, so art has been on Monday, then tot tray introductions Tuesday and Thursday and continued play on Wednesday and Friday. This week's art was painting, above. The one on the left was done the Friday before during a play date at a local private school, we got to go in to check it out and play with the preschool class for an hour.
This week's tot trays were stamping (Tuesday and Wednesday) and gem transferring (Thursday and Friday). I got some gems and olive tongs at the dollar store and showed her how to pick up the gems and drop them into a mini muffin pan. She really needs practice on this one, and preferred to use her fingers. No big deal, it will come.
As you can see above, I made two tot trays with old cookie sheets. I put scrapbook paper on them and put about 5 layers of modge podge, plus additional around the edges that had lifted a bit. She is prone to picking at loose papers and stickers, so I didn't want her to peel it off! With these trays, she can do magnetic activities as well as regular activities.
So this was our week at a glance, I made up next weeks tot trays this afternoon, we will do matching and threading more pasta on pipe cleaners.

Chapter 50 Tore Away The Hypocritical Mask
Genius Twins And Their Mother By Yi Ye Characters: 10182
Trapped in an unprecedented situation, Freda and Baron couldn't meet their priest without church appointment. Even the marriage registry returned their marriage application.
'Freda didn't know that it would be so difficult for an open-minded woman in the 21st century to get married. After so many failures, Freda finally understood what Marvin meant.
It turned out that this was the real meaning of unable to get married without his consent. Ridiculously, she still naively hoped In contrast to Baron's anger, Freda had been divorcing angrily for a long time.
What if they couldn't get married? Without the marriage certificate, she could still live a happy life with her beloved man.
It was unexpected that her brother would wait for Freda in the Lu mansion.
"You're back?" In the dim light, it was Marvin who sat in the corner. The window is already deep and heavy. Marvin has already known who his good sister is hanging out with until now...
Freda ridiculed, "Why you are not with your little secretary, and have time to wait for me? Or, did you just take time to watch your victory? As you wish, my dearest brother, you've ruined my happiness again. "
"I forgive you because we are family." Marvin said.
"What do you mean?" Uneasiness flashed in Freda's eyes, and Freda had an ominous premonition.
"I come here just to inform you that there is no Han Group's electronic technology in Alaska a week later. I will give you time to deal with the aftermath." He said in a cold voice, showing no emotion.
Trembling, Freda looked at Marvin in disbelief and roared, "You've gone too far!"
Going too far? Struggling to stand up, he came to Freda and said coldly, "Freda, I knew you looked weird when you looked at men. So many years have passed, can you be smarter? When will you stop deceiving yourself?"
"Have you found any signs of breakthrough in the last period of time? Why even you don't care about the paper, but look at Baron? He is so flippant. If he gives you a name, you really think he has to marry you. Have you ever wondered why all the members of the Lu Clan have no objection to your marriage? Does Mrs. Wilson really love you so much? "
There should be a limit to being unrealistic! "I'm very disappointed in you!" The man lowered his eyes, and the storm calmed down again. Then Marvin opened Freda.
Since he had told all the truth, the voice was full of scare. Freda covered her ears as if it was trying to deceive herself. All she wanted to do was to believe what she had seen, believe what she was willing to believe and desire for true love.
Marvin snorted. He took all the photos out of his briefcase and threw them in front of her one by one. "Open your eyes wide and look at those photos. Tell me who want to hurt you!"
The pictures were so clear that Freda was reluctant to open her eyes, but Freda had buried her doubt deep inside its heart.
The faces on the paper looked familiar. It turned out that Mrs. Wilson had already met Mr. Han a long time ago. Their expressions had cha
It all starts on that fateful night.
When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel's best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
"I don't want a divorce!"
"I did no such thing!"
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. "I don't want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...
en she could restore the ruined face Is it possible to have your face disfigured? Biting his lower lip, Freda nervously opened the door.
At one glance, all the speculation was overturned. Embarrassed, Freda looked at the woman who was crying out of pain.
"Mommy doesn't hurt at all. Let me blow the air in." the sweet little girl curled up her red small mouth in front of Lancy. Her hair was blocked from the little wound.
It was right and was invisible After making up all the bloody scenes, the length of his index finger was just a tiny wound~
The pink lace sleeveless Pajama was useful for the baby to apply medicine to her wound, and her pinky, snow-white skin made Freda blind. 'Aren't they hurt? Wasn't it a disaster?
Grumbled Lancy, who was lazy like a cat, with a satisfied expression. She knelt on the white soft blanket, opened her mouth, and the serious baby put the cherry into her mouth obediently.
This is the paradise for Lancy.
The twins could take care of them one by one, they must have been bribed? Freda has nothing to speak.
There was a word "well" on the back of Freda's head. Wondering why she couldn't fall asleep for a whole night?
"Miss Lancy, there is your guest."
"Wow! Sister Freda!" Lancy grinned, revealing her white teeth.
Since when did she call her Sister Freda? Freda had no strength to chase her. Sitting on the sofa, Freda looked at Lancy up and down.
In contrast to Lancy's joy, the two babies were much more cautious. They still remembered that Freda had been engaged to Baron, so they were standing on the left and right of Freda, deliberately keeping a distance between them.
"I heard that you are sick." Freda has a stiff face, but there is a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, especially when her clear and clean eyes stare at her without any hostility
Hearing Freda's voice, Lancy held her little face in her hands and moved her, "Wow, you are the first one to come to see me. MUA." Freda was the best friend who could ignore Marvin automatically.

The Go4Europe Conference was held in Tel Aviv Monday to support business cooperation between Israel and Europe.
On Monday Go4Europe, on of the most prestigious business conferences in Israel, was held at the Tel Aviv Hilton Hotel.
The conference, which began in 1993 and is organized by Cukierman Investment House Ltd. and Catalyst Fund, placed an emphasis on the high-tech industry, life sciences and green energy.
Haggai Ravid, CEO of Cukierman Investment House, noted the turnout to the event was more than a thousand people, with a large showing from Russia, China and India in addition to the usual Israeli and European attendees. Last year the conference was notable in attracting the presence of top Chinese business leaders.
French Businessman Maurice Levy praised Israel's developments, and remarked that the event shows the nation's growing attraction in international eyes in various fields.
Ravid remarked that many Europeans look at Israel as a model, given the nation's success in being a developed country that continues to grow economically all while having very low unemployment. He further noted Israel has more money invested in start-ups than all of Europe combined.
Adir Zimerman, the CEO of start-up company Screemo, related his company's success at breaking into the American and European market with its innovative technology.

Ventura County wastes $189 million on nuclear weapons
The renewed arms race and its funding deprive our nation and future of the precious resources we need to address our most critical problems.
Ventura County wastes $189 million on nuclear weapons The renewed arms race and its funding deprive our nation and future of the precious resources we need to address our most critical problems. Check out this story on vcstar.com: http://www.vcstar.com/story/opinion/columnists/2018/04/14/ventura-county-wastes-189-million-nuclear-weapons/516279002/
Special to Ventura County Star Published 9:00 a.m. PT April 14, 2018
In this Aug. 6, 1945 photo released by the U.S. Army, a mushroom cloud billows about one hour after a nuclear bomb was detonated above Hiroshima, Japan. A contentious debate over nuclear power in Japan is also bringing another question out of the shadows: Should Japan keep open the possibility of making nuclear weapons, even if only as an option? It may seem surprising in the only country ever devastated by atomic bombs, particularly as it marks the 67th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 2012, and Nagasaki three days later. The Japanese government officially renounces nuclear weapons, and the vast majority of citizens oppose them. (AP Photo/U.S. Army via Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum) ORG XMIT: TOK103(Photo: AP)
This past year has seen significant progress and challenges toward the goal of abolishing nuclear weapons.
A United Nations international treaty banning nuclear weapons, like all other weapons of mass destruction, was passed in July by a majority of the world's nations. Yet in view of international rhetoric and posturing, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in January moved the nuclear doomsday clock forward to 2 minutes before midnight, the closest since World War II.
Aware of these realities, the Ojai City Council last week unanimously passed a nuclear-free zone resolution supporting the U.N. treaty and calling for divestment from institutions and companies involved in the financing, manufacture, development, stockpiling and testing of nuclear weapons.
This Tuesday — Tax Day — the United States will fund the 2018 budget. As each spring brings forth hope and new life, so does the funding of our priorities help realize these hopes. As the Rev. Jim Wallis says, "Budgets are moral documents." Yet seemingly oblivious to these hopes and desires, the United States continues to march forward in a new nuclear arms race.
Each year, Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles calculates the costs of all nuclear weapons programs to communities across the nation. The Nuclear Weapons Community Costs Project (online at psr-la.org/nuclear-costs) has identified that this Tax Day, the United States will spend $62.7 billion on these weapons, which were declared illegal by the U.N. in last year's Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
When this treaty is ratified by 50 nations, it becomes international law, and only outlaw nations will have nuclear weapons. The United States is leading this pack of outlaw nations with its Trump nuclear doctrine and a new arms race guaranteeing that all of the other nuclear nations will and are following suit.
This renewed arms race and its funding deprive our nation and future of the precious resources we need to address our most critical problems. California taxpayers will contribute more than $8 billion to this amount, while those in Ventura County will spend in excess of $189 million and in Los Angeles County over $1.9 billion on weapons that can never be used.
Every dollar spent is a dollar taken from our children and the meeting of basic needs of our citizens.
Today, our fiscally conservative leaders would do well to follow the words of their hero, Ronald Reagan, when he said, "A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." Yet who among our present leadership has the courage and understanding to stand up and realize these wise words?
We exist every moment of every day under the threat of nuclear annihilation, either by intent, miscalculation or accident. Yet this is a future that does not have to be.
Ultimately, it will take the people of the United States and Ventura County to follow the lead of Ojai and demand that our leaders work to fulfill their legally bound responsibility under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to work in good faith to abolish nuclear weapons.
Each of us has an opportunity to support this process and abolition by endorsing the "Back from the Brink" resolution at preventnuclearwar.org.
All are also invited to join Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions for a Tax Day rally at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the County Government Center in Ventura, to support your priorities rather than nuclear weapons. For more information, visit c-p-r.net.
Robert Dodge is a family physician practicing in Ventura, chairman of Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions and president of Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles.

Why do I need to unroll my silage/ hay bales ? Tests have been conducted using the latest high density round bales and it has been found that the bales typically weighing up-to 750kg are difficult for animals to pull apart and eat, this means that animals wintered inside struggle to put on weight and maintain condition.
A simple test was conducted using clamp silage and wrapped round bales, if the round bales are unwound so the stock can get to the food easily then the condition of the animal is maintained, when the bale is just dropped into a round bale feeder or into the passage way then the animals struggle to pull the bale apart and eat.
The amount of waste of feed that had not been eaten was also monitored and it was found that feeding out a ration with a bale unwinder also cut down on wasted feed, either not been eaten or pulled and trampled.
This proved that if using a round bale un roller you can minimise waste and improve animal health ,this is comparable to using clamp silage as a ration.
It was also noted that as you are putting out a ration with a bale unroller, you can spread out the feed to allow all animals to eat and monitor the amount of feed been given to ensure that sufficient is been given for the head count you are supporting.
The bale unroller has also been tested in conjunction with a diet feeder, classically diet feeders, although a great way to mix different types of feed, can be costly and slow to run, if you unwind the bale into the mixer, it cuts down of the time taken to mix and minimises the fuel used to mix the rations. You can add silage or straw using this method.
This group of machines can be specified to whatever your requirements are, the most basic machine is three-point linkage mounted and is fixed one way, usually to the right.
The machine can be up-graded to have telehandler brackets and pressure limiter fitted, with this option you can still use the three-point linkage if required.
Please see the brochure for model options or contact us, i am sure we will have a model to suit your requirements.

Daily Payman (Translated by RAWA), June 24, 2008
A Father Sexually Assaults his 13-year old Daughter
The rate of child rapes is rapidly increasing in Herat. Sometime back a 7-year old girl was gang-raped by five men.
This news is reported by Payman, a daily newspaper at its website.
A father raped his 13-year old daughter in Herat. Gulabshah, a resident of the fifth district of Herat municipality raped his daughter, 13-year old Freshta, after severely beating his wife and forcing her out of the house.
The statistics in the report from Womankind, Afghan Women and Girls Seven Years On, make shocking reading. Violent attacks against females, usually domestic, are at epidemic proportions with 87 per cent of females complaining of such abuse – half of it sexual. More than 60 per cent of marriages are forced.
The Independent, Feb. 25, 2008
Freshta says, "My father tied my feet and mouth and raped me after throwing my mother out of the house."
Bano Hussaini, Head of Herat's Women's Rights Administration approved the occurrence of this incident after the medical tests of Freshta confirmed her rape. She added that this was the most brutal case ever reported during her tenure as the Head of Herat's Women's Rights Administration and the government should stone the culprit to death according to Islamic Law.
Fatima, Freshta's mother reported, "On the night of the incident my husband beat me severely and forced me to go to my father's house. The next day around three in the afternoon my daughter came crying and told me that after I had left, he had tied her hands and feet and raped her." She also said that her husband didn't have any sort of mental disorder but was morally corrupt. She elaborated, "He had wanted to do this to my daughter for sometime and my daughter had told me but whenever I argued with him he abused me." The culprit is now detained by the police and the case is under investigation.
The rate of child rapes is rapidly increasing in Herat. Sometime back a 7-year old girl was gang-raped by five men. But the rape of a young girl by her father is the most horrendous case in the past few years.

Q: How to get max performance using Parallel.For/ForEach? (performance timings included) I am trying to parallelize my web parsing tool but the speed gains seem very minimal. I have i7-2600K (8 cores hyper-threading).
Here is some code to show you the idea. I only show Parallel.ForEach but you get the idea:
List<string> AllLinks = this.GetAllLinks();
ConcurrentDictionary<string, Topic> AllTopics = new ConcurrentDictionary<string, Topic> ( );

int count = 0;
Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch ( );
sw.Start ( );

Parallel.ForEach ( AllLinks, currentLink =>
{
    Topic topic = this.ExtractTopicData ( currentLink );
    this.AllTopics.TryAdd ( currentLink, topic );

    ++count;

    if ( count > 50 )
    {
        Console.WriteLine ( sw.ElapsedMilliseconds );
        count = 0;
    }
} );

I get these timings:
Standard foreach loop:
24582
59234
82800
117786
140315

2 links per second

Paralel.For:

21902
31649
41168
49817
59321

5 links per second

Paralel.ForEach:
10217
20401
39056
49220
58125

5 links per second

Firstly why is the "startup" timing is much slower in Parallel.For?
Other than that the parallel loops give me 2.5x speed over the standard foreach loop. Is this normal?
Is there a setting I can set so that the parallel loops can use all the cores?
EDIT:
Here is pretty much what ExtractTopicData does:
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb ( );
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = web.Load ( url );
IEnumerable<HtmlNode> links = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes ( "//*[@id=\"topicDetails\"]" );

var topic = new Topic();

foreach ( var link in links )
{
    //parse the link data
}

A: A brief perusal of HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb confirms that it is using the synchronous WebRequest API. You are therefore placing long running tasks into the ThreadPool (via Parallel). The ThreadPool is designed for short-lived operations that yield the thread back to the pool quickly. Blocking on IO is a big no-no. Given the ThreadPool's reluctance to start new threads (because it is not designed for this kind of usage), you're going to be constrained by this behaviour.
Fetch your web content asynchronously (see here and here for the correct API to use, you'll have to investigate further yourself...) so that you are not tying up the ThreadPool with blocking tasks. You can then feed the decoded response to the HtmlAgilityPack for parsing.
If you really want to jazz up performance, you'll also need to consider that WebRequest is incapable of performing asynchronous DNS lookup. IMO this is a terrible flaw in the design of WebRequest.

The BeginGetResponse method requires some synchronous setup tasks to complete (DNS resolution, proxy detection, and TCP socket connection, for example) before this method becomes asynchronous.

It makes high performance downloading a real PITA. It's at about this time that you might consider writing your own HTTP library so that everything can execute without blocking (and therefore starving the ThreadPool).
As an aside, getting maximum throughput when chumming through web-pages is a tricky affair. In my experience, you get the code right and are then let down by the routing equipment it has to go through. Many domestic routers simply aren't up to the job.

Upplands ståndsdragonregemente var ett männingsregemente och dragonförband inom svenska armén som verkade i olika former åren 1700–1721.

Historia
Upplands ståndsdragonregemente bildades 1700 som Upplands ståndsdragoner. Vid bildande bestod förbandet av cirka 600-700 man fördelade på sex kompanier, vilka utökades 1701 till åtta kompanier. År 1701 överfördes regementet till Reval (nu Tallinn) och deltog i slaget vid Errastfer, år 1704 i slaget vid Jakobstadt, år 1705 i slaget vid Gemauerthof, år 1708 i slaget vid Lesna och slutligen 1709 i slaget vid Poltava, där det föll i rysk fångenskap genom Adam Ludwig Lewenhaupts kapitulation vid Perevolotjna. Åren 1711–1712 återuppsattes förbandet och 1716 antogs namnet Upplands ståndsdragonregemente, vilket kom att omfatta en styrka på drygt 1.000 man. År 1719 förstärktes regementet med soldater från det samma år upplösta Upplands tremänningsregemente till häst. År 1721 upplöstes Upplands ståndsdragonregemente: Livdragonregementet fick 80 man medan Tavastehus läns infanteriregemente och Nylands infanteriregemente erhöll drygt 300 man var.

Förbandschefer
1700–1701: Erik Gustaf Stenbock
1702–1709: Anders Wennerstedt
1712–1721: Hans von Fersen

I ran a weekly match in Atlanta as match director and club president for 5 years, starting almost the same time as I picked up my first handgun. We focused on bringing in new shooters, building successful skill sets, and major match preparatory stages. I enjoy helping new shooters get started in the sport, and draw my rewards in watching them develop their own shooting abilities.
What primarily drives me in this sport are both the people and the massive support of the shooting community. It was local shooters that got me started off on the right foot, and in addition to all the wonderful people I met during my travels during the past two years, everyone kept me motivated and energized to stay in shooting sports. It's because of fellow shooters that I am in this for the long haul.
Bringing in new shooters to the sport, running as elected president of a local club, and making Master class in 3 years with no prior firearms experience.
Running a local club, GA-01 Gwinnett Practical Shooting League, www.gpsl.org, volunteering as a range officer at major and local matches for match setup and administration and working as a range officer.

"It is a real change of mindset to go from textbooks and tests to just loving learning. The thoughts of how will I know if they know? go through all of our minds at some point! It doesn't always show up right away; however, what I have seen in my children is a love for history that no textbook could have ever fostered. Now, can they name every important date in US History? No. But do they have an appreciation for God and HIS hand in this country? Yes!"
"As for retention, I think that depends on what we want them to retain. Do we want them to understand the ebb and flow of life in the United States? Or, do we want them to know on what date the battle of Breed's Hill occurred? Do we want them to recognize the positive characteristics of men like Patrick Henry and be inspired to develop similar qualities, or do we want them to be able to answer the Jeopardy question, "At what time did British soldiers land on Moulton's Point?" ...History when I was in school was a matching of names and dates…and that is not HIStory."
"Just so I don't steer you wrong, my 7-year-old can generally get within 20 years of when a major event in American History occurred, not because we have drilled it, but because we have read wonderful books and 'lived' the period. So, he associates things with certain periods of time. As he gets older, I would imagine this would improve…since my over-35 brain is learning much with TruthQuest History. I know more dates now than I ever did in school when I 'crammed' them for the test and forgot them. I'm not trying to memorize them; they are just easier when related to the people and books we read."
"When I start to doubt this approach, it is not hard to take a close look at what my children are really learning and to realize their education is far superior to what I as a public school student received. My children are able to remember more of what they have encountered than I ever did in school. My children are better able to critically evaluate what they are reading…and they devour books!"
"My kids are far more knowledgeable about history than any of their peers and most of the adults they know."
"I did not want to use traditional tests in history, so what I chose to do is assign a semester project, several written essays (from the ThinkWrite excercises), and four book reports (oral and written) which will give him his grade!"
"We might feel undone when we see that TQH does not give daily assignments (or tests, in this context) to 'verify' that learning is taking place. This fear showed me that my heart was straying back to 'Egypt,' when I found myself tempted to look to the world's methodologies to define education taking place in my home. But I rather need to look to God for understanding of His way of teaching (which is really discipleship). Otherwise, I get caught up in the 'what' of education, as I was indoctrinated under it as a student, that education is a series of things to do, rather than a state of the heart/mind."
"So, for some of my children, discussion reminds them of what we just read. Some remember better as they work on their notebooks. Some of them remember when they tell Dad what they learned. Some of them remember when they draw. Remember that Michelle's entire vision for TQH is that each family would determine what the Lord is calling them to do with it."
Select key ideas from book chapters (taking notes) and record in notebook.
Have older student devise quiz for younger students, then give same quiz to him with added essay question.
Write, and save, letters to the newspaper editor.
Employ worksheets and related tests from Veritas Press.
Complete pre-formatted notebooks from History Portfolios.
"People quizzes," wherein pictures of historical figures are presented, and the student writes their names and important information about them.
Projects, whether hands-on or written.
But, I also think that whenever your student answers discussion questions well, by willingly responding with understanding, this can earn a grade. It doesn't have to be a lot more complicated than that, because, for example, my college philosophy professor gave extra credit for contributing to class discussions. Is that really any different?
You can let your student offer ideas on how to demonstrate his learning, especially when he/she is old enough to have a sense of ownership for their education. For example, if they accomplish assigned readings, that earns a good grade!
My point? What your child is learning with TruthQuest History is truth that is worth remembering... and sharing with others. Maybe I sound overly simplistic, but 'just do it' seems to apply both to starting with TQH and recording something about it on paper. It is good to simply begin."


We got a few bikes in from the swaps in the midwest. my colleague Jacob made this photo. Yes, that is Curtis as Scrooge McDuck diving into the trailer full of bikes. Come pay us a visit and get the pick of the litter!
SR crank set and road pedals with medium size steel toe clips and straps.
Galli brakes and brake levers.
Campagnolo Nuovo Record low flange road hubs laced to a Mavic MA40 dark anodized rear rim and a Matrix anodized front rim.
Cinelli 1R stem 100mm extension and Cinelli Giro D' Italia bars which are 40 CM wide with newer logos.
The bike is light weight and solid. It could use a tune up and is not included in the price. I date the frame to about the mid 80's by the decals. The paint is a nice metal flake gun metal grey and sparkles in the sun. One of the top tube brake housing guides is broken off (see photo). Frame and fork are in alignment. Very nice starer road bike that is capable of pretty much anything. It also has eyelets on the forged drop outs for fenders and a rack., making it very versatile for daily commuting use. Price is $400.00. Please email at bikeville@gmail.com with any questions. Shipping and handling will have to be calculated depending on location.
It's spring again, and I like to post a couple nicer bikes for sale here to try and make room for incoming bikes. This is an excellent starter road racing bike for a more petite individual. Viner is an Italian company that makes and made high end road bikes. This is the Special Professional model, which was top end in its day. It has a 49 CM CTC seat tube, 52CM CTC top tube, and the stand over height is 30". i date this frame to around the mid to late 70's. Columbus tubing I assume as all the others I have seen also had Columbus tubing. The bike is very light weight. It appears to have a replacement fork of high quality with fully sloping crown. The original would probablly have had a flat crown with stars cast in the shoulders of the crown.
Galli front and rear derailleurs, brakes, brake levers, cranks, shifters, and pedals.
Specialized hubs laced to unknown double wall clincher rims which are 27".
Some of the original decals are missing, and the paint is a nice light metallic blue. The lugs are nicely filed with cut out windows in pretty classic Italian styling. The bike needs to be tuned up and is not included in the price. The bike feels nice and solid and the frame and fork are in alignment. Price is $600.00. Please email at bikeville@gmail.com with any questions. Buyer pays shipping and handling and will have to be calculated depending on location.
Here is a link to an article about bike infrastructure in Philly and how it works. Recommended reading. link here!
This is our friend Steven Rea's bike. he wrote a really awesome book called: Hollywood Rides A Bike Cycling with the stars. It is full of old photos of celebrities with their bikes. Really neat stuff, he did a lot of research and found some really cool images and stories .Here is the link! Check it out and support his efforts!
I really enjoy seeing what our customer's bring in and this one is no different. Actually, it is a bit different because it is a bike I have always wanted for my collection. The bike is a Frejus road model and the owner dates it to about 1961. Frejus bikes were very popular in the USA from about 1945-1965. This one was imported to New York by a neighborhood shop in Stony Point, NY which was owned by the late Thomas Avenia. His shop became well known for importing Frejus and Legnano bikes. The top end models had a grease port on the back of the head tube and many classic Italian features. Some of which are the seat lug that utilizes a seat collar to tighten around the seat post and the simple and elegant head lugs as well as the semi sloping fork crown with slim cut out windows. This bike has all those features with the exception of the seat collar.
The patina on this bike is perfect in my opinion and shows it is a reliable and well ridden machine. A nice touch is the Frejus stamped alloy fenders, very sturdy and sharp looking. The bike also has a full Campagnolo Nuovo Record group with the exception of the Suntour Bar con shifters, which i like better anyway and the Balilla center pull brakes and levers. It also has the second generation Campagnolo Rally rear derailleur with the reinforcing tab which made it more substantial. Earlier versions were somewhat prone to breaking. The Rally was Campagnolo's attempt at a touring derailleur, but also suffered the poor shifting of the Nuovo Record because it did not have the benefit of a slant parallelogram. Still, it is a classic of the era. Also of note is the Campagnolo triple crank set with half step gearing, somewhat unusual. The owner says it is among his favorite city bikes and enjoys riding it on a daily basis. Perhaps some day I will find one in my size.

Allegations of misconduct will be investigated in accordance with the COPE Best Practice Guidelines as far as is practicable. If notified of a potential breach of publication ethics, we encourage journal editors and staff to inform their JRTDD contact as soon as possible. JRTDD staff are trained on how to proceed with investigations into allegations of ethical misconduct and will seek legal counsel when necessary.
JRTDD expects all published articles to contain clear and accurate attribution of authorship. It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that all authors that contributed to the work are fairly acknowledged and that the published author list accurately reflects individual contributions. Where authorship disputes arise, JRTDD encourages journal editorial teams to follow the COPE guidelines detailed here. Where authors employ the services of third party agencies prior to submission, for instance in language editing or manuscript formatting/preparation, they must ensure that all services comply with the following guidelines.
JRTDD supports the ICMJE definitions of authorship as published here. Some journals publish their own definitions of authorship – check the journal submission guidelines or editorial policy for details. Definitions of what constitutes authorship vary by journal, research area, or article type but typically authorship is confined to those who have made a significant contribution to the design and execution of the work described. Many journals now take the extra step of emailing named authors at the point of submission (usually via the journal submission system) to confirm participation. Some journals may require a short description of each authors' contribution to be included with the submitted files or as part of the acknowledgements section of an article.
Requests for changes to authorship must be directed to the journal editor or administrator – check individual journal websites for contact details. Requests should be dealt with fairly and in accordance with the relevant COPE guidelines (detailed below) and/or the published policy of the individual journal. Changes in authorship will only be permitted where valid reasons are provided and all authors are in agreement with the change. Post-publication changes to authorship will typically be made via a published correction.
JRTDD considers all forms of ghost, guest, and gift authorship to be unethical and works closely with editors and publishing partners to take a firm stance against such practices. Any allegation of ghost, guest, or gift authorship will be investigated in accordance with the COPE guidelines listed here. Where such practices are identified the authors in question will be removed from an article through a post-publication correction or erratum. In addition the journal may choose to notify the institutional or local ethics committee for the authors in question.
'Ghost' authorship refers to the practice of using a non-named author to write or prepare an article for publication. Ghost authors are typically (but not exclusively) paid sponsors, employees, junior researchers, or external academic affiliates.
'Guest' or 'gift' authorship refers to the practice of naming an individual that made little or no contribution to a study as an author on an article. Gift authors are typically (but not exclusively) senior researchers, affiliated researchers, friends, or colleagues of the principle author. There are also organisations that offer gift authorship for a fee.
Publication of a correction or statement of concern.
Notification of misconduct sent to an author's local institution, superior, and/or ethics committee.
JRTDD-published journal evaluate submissions on the understanding that they have not been previously published in or simultaneously submitted to another journal. We encourage all JRTDD-reviewers to investigate allegations of redundant publication thoroughly and in accordance with COPE guidelines detailed here. We also encourage editors and journal administrators to keep a clear record of all communications between authors, editors, and peer reviewers regarding the submissions they handle. These records are carefully stored and may be used to facilitate investigations into possible cases of misconduct. Where necessary we will contact and/or co-operate with other publishers and journals to identify cases of redundant publication.
JRTDD journals evaluate submissions on the understanding that they are the original work of the author(s). We expect that references made in a manuscript or article to another person's work or idea will be credited appropriately. Equally we expect authors to gain all appropriate permissions prior to publication. Guidelines on when permissions are required and how to seek permissions are available here.
Re-use of text, data, figures, or images without appropriate acknowledgment or permission is considered plagiarism, as is the paraphrasing of text, concepts, and ideas. All allegations of plagiarism are investigated thoroughly and in accordance with COPE guidelines detailed here. Many journals now systematically run submitted papers through plagiarism-detection software to identify possible cases. Journals will typically stipulate how they employ such software – whether systematically or selectively – in their submission guidelines.
Whilst striving to promote freedom of expression wherever possible, JRTDD aims to avoid publishing anything that harms the reputation of an individual, business, or organization unless it can be proven to be true. We take all possible measures to ensure that published work is free of any text that is, or may be considered to be libelous, slanderous, or defamatory.
JRTDD is committed to transparency in areas of potential conflict of interest. We encourage our editors and partner societies to publish and regularly review policies on Conflict of Interest as they relate to authors, editors and peer reviewers.
All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment, or materials (including specialist statistical or writing assistance).
The role of the research funder(s) or sponsor(s), if any, in the research design execution, analysis, interpretation, and reporting.
Any relevant financial and non-financial interests and relationships that might be considered likely to affect the interpretation of their findings or that editors, reviewers, or readers might reasonably wish to know. These might include, but are not limited to, patent or stock ownership, membership on a company's board of directors, membership of an editorial board or committee for a company, consultancy for a company, or receipt of speaker's fees from a company.
When considering whether to declare a conflicting interest or connection we encourage authors to consider how they would answer the following question: Is there any arrangement that would embarrass you or any of your co-authors if it was to emerge after publication and you had not declared? it?
JRTDD expects its journal editors to declare competing interests at the point of agreeing their position and update them annually. JRTDD's standard editor agreement obliges the editor to declare any potential conflict of interest that might arise during the term of editorship prior to entry into any agreement or position.
Editors are required to recuse themselves from individual manuscripts if they themselves have a potential conflict of interest and to avoid creating potential conflicts of interest through assignment of handling editors or peer reviewers.
We encourage editors and journal administrators to consider potential conflicts of interest when assigning reviewers. Some journals include wording in their invitation to review stating that acceptance of the invitation implies no financial or competing interest. Where a reviewer declares potential conflict of interest the editor should select alternative reviewers. Failure to declare conflict of interest may result in removal of the reviewer from the journal database.
JRTDD encourages all participants in the publishing process to adhere to established principles of ethical publishing. This extends from authors to journal editors, reviewers, journal administrators, and publishing staff.
Editors have full editorial independence. Although JRTDD and any publishing partners may discuss strategy, process, and policy with editors, we will never knowingly exert pressure on editors to accept manuscripts for commercial or political reasons. We do, however, expect and encourage editors to have clearly defined processes and policies for the handling of contributions by the editor or members of the editorial board to ensure that, where appropriate, these submissions receive an equivalent level of peer review to any other submission.
Manuscripts are reviewed by two independent experts in the relevant area. The reviewers make a scientific assessment and a recommendation to the editors. Reviewers remain unknown to authors. The Handling editor considers the manuscript and the reviewers' comments before making a final decision either to accept, accept with revision or to reject a manuscript.
Unless otherwise specified, JRTDD expects editors and reviewers to handle all submissions in confidence. If a reviewer wishes to delegate the review or seek the opinion of a colleague on a specific aspect of the paper, they are expected to clear this with the editor in the first instance.
Some journals provide the option for submitting authors to suggest preferred reviewers. It is the responsibility of the lead author to ensure that only genuine reviewers and reviewer contact details are put forward. Any suspected or alleged instances of authors submitting fabricated reviewer details will be thoroughly investigated. If such allegations are proven, the article in question will be immediately rejected or, if already published, retracted. The journal would typically notify the authors' institutional or local ethics council and may also impose a ban on further submissions from the author grJRTDD.
JRTDD's mission is to promote the highest standards of research through its publishing activities. Ensuring that the research we publish is conducted in a fair and ethical manner is integral to this. We publish across multiple research areas, many of which have their own standards and methods of governing research practice.
Wherever appropriate, we expect published research based on human subjects to provide the name of the local ethics committee that approved the study (or confirmation that such approval is not needed) and/or to state how the study conforms to recognized standards (e.g. declaration of Helsinki or US Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects). JRTDD encourages handling editors to return any manuscripts describing studies not meeting acceptable criteria.
The following list details JRTDD's approach to the most common areas of research integrity.
Journals publishing studies using human subjects should ensure that a patient's right to privacy has not been infringed without prior consent. We encourage authors to follow the ICMJE guidelines for reporting on human subjects. For publication of material that contains detailed patient information about a living individual, it is compulsory for a signed patient consent to be obtained. Any identifier that might reveal a patient's identity must be removed (i.e., x-rays, MRIs, charts, photographs, etc.). Written informed consent is required from any potentially identifiable patient or legal representative, and should be presented in either the Methods section or the Acknowledgements.
Where animals are used in research we expect them to have been treated in a humane manner and in line with the ARRIVE guidelines. The International Council for Laboratory Animal Science has published guidelines specifically for editors and Reviewers on how to handle submissions involving animal research. JRTDD supports these guidelines and, wherever possible, encourages editors and society partners to adopt them. Authors may be required to provide evidence that they obtained ethical and /or legal approval prior to conducting the research.
All clinical trials should be registered prospectively in publically accessible databases (e.g. www.clinicaltrials.gov and www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu) and manuscripts should include registration numbers and the name of the register. Some journals may require clinical trials to be reported according to CONSORT guidelines.
Submitted papers found to include false or fabricated data prior to publication will be returned to the author immediately with a request for an explanation. If no explanation is received or if the explanation provided is considered unsatisfactory, the journal will notify the authors' institution, local ethical committee, or superior. The journal may also refuse to accept further submissions from the author for a defined period.
Examples of data falsification or fabrication include: image manipulation; cropping of gels/images to change context; omission of selected data; or making-up data sets. Some journals employ image manipulation software to detect evidence of falsification in submitted manuscripts. JRTDD recognizes that falsification is not always deliberate and will encourage its editors to consider each case on its terms.
Researchers, funders and institutions are increasingly concerned about the impact and return-on-investment of their work. Article-level metrics are designed to help authors assess this by providing a better understanding of the reach of an article or published research, and the attention it is receiving online. Oxford University Press now provides access to the number of online views of each article, the number of citations to each article, and the Altmetric score of each article. These metrics can be accessed by clicking on the 'View Metrics' link on each article web page.
The 'Total Views' metric indicates the number of times an article has been viewed on the Oxford Academic Platform in the time period shown. This metric is the sum of 'Pageviews' which are views of the full-text web page version, and 'PDF Downloads' which are views of the full-text PDF version.
Note that 'Total Views' can be inflated by non-human agents. 'Total Views' can likewise be increased by multiple views from the same user.
The 'Citations' metric is the number of citations attributed to the article in the 'Web of Science Core Collection' database. Clicking the link will take you to a list of citing articles on the external Web of Science website.
The traditional methods of counting citations and downloads to measure impact misses much, not least the reception to published research amongst wider society. As a result, there has been a desire in the scholarly community to gain a better understanding of the reach and attention a paper receives beyond the academic sphere.
'Altmetrics', or alternative metrics, have evolved to help answer those questions by tracking and collating mentions and shares of academic research papers and other outputs (such as datasets) across traditional and social media outlets, blogs, public policy documents, post-publication peer-review forums and online reference managers.
Altmetric data is available across all articles published on the Oxford Journals platform. Visitors to the site can click on the Altmetric donut to see a detailed breakdown of the online engagement an individual article has received to date, outside of traditional biblometrics.
Altmetric LLP, who provide the data, collect article level metrics and the online conversations around research papers by tracking a selection of online indicators (both scholarly and non-scholarly) to give a measurement of digital impact and reach. 'Mentions' that contain links to any version of the same paper are picked up, and collated. The result is the Altmetric score.
Volume: the score for an article rises as more people mention it.
Sources: each category of mention contributes a different base amount to the final score.
Authors: how often the author of each mention talks about scholarly articles influences the contribution of the mention.
Online demographics are also available via this link, so users can see which parts of the world mentions are coming from.
Use the Altmetric details page to identify coverage and wider dissemination of your research that you can evidence in CVs or funding applications.
See who is talking about your research – identify potential new collaborators and build relationships with key influencers.
Monitor other research in your field, and know how it has been received amongst a broader audience.
Manage your online reputation – respond to commentary about your work and actively engage with the conversation.
Sign up for Altmetric email alerts: You can sign up to be notified when an article receives a new mention online (don't worry – you'll only get one email a day, no matter how many mentions it gets in that day). Simply visit the Altmetric page linked from 'Show more details' to do so.
Improve your Altmetric score: Read this Altmetric blog article for some ideas and tips.
Add your Altmetric score to your own website: You can display your article's Altmetric score on your personal website or blog, or on your departmental or society webpages, by following these instructions.
If you spot any mentions missing for a paper, please use this form to report this to Altmetric, who will review your suggestions and add them where applicable. You can find more information about why some mentions may not have been picked up here.
Writing rejection letters is never easy. As hard as it is for authors to receive adverse manuscript decisions, it can be equally difficult for editors to continually craft manuscript rejections throughout their day. Whether responding to desk-reject submissions or to submissions that have gone through one or multiple rounds of peer review, all editors have to find a constructive approach to writing rejection letters that works for them.
Harris, who sends all of the rejection letters for her journal, said that while turning down submissions remains one of the hardest parts of her job it doesn't have to be entirely bad. She brings her perspective as a researcher and author to all of the submissions decisions she writes and aims to give authors helpful insights that they can use to improve their future submissions. Below we outline some of Harris' top tips for writing a more humane rejection letter.
As a best practice, Harris said it is paramount that journals include explanations for manuscript rejections in all of their decision letters to authors. These comments should come from the perspective of the editor who made the final manuscript decision. "You would never send a flat out rejection letter," said Harris.
In their decison letter comments, Harris said editors should make a point to show all of the authors they respond to that their submissions were read closely and that the editor or editors who reviewed them took the time to understand and fully consider the submission. With regard to outlining the reasons for their decision to reject a submission, Harris said editors should focus on using clear language and referencing concrete facts. Editors should avoid writing blanket statements above all else, as they can seem more emotional than analytical and cause authors to feel like their submissions weren't given fair consideration.
Harris said incorporating comprehensive editor explanations into rejection letters can be especially important for journals that charge submissions fees. "If authors have to pay money upfront and then get a rejection before their manuscript has been externally reviewed, at the very least they are going to want to have a reason for that rejection," she said.
At SubStance Harris said the desk and peer-reviewed rejection letters she sends authors are basically one in the same expect for one component, reviewer comments. "All of the peer-reviewed rejection letters have a field below the editor's signature that allows for comments," she said.
When it comes to sharing reviewer insights, Harris said she leans towards giving authors more information than less. "I send all reader comments as long as they're constructive and they're not too redundant," she said. While some journals only send excerpts of reviewer notes, Harris said she believes it can be more beneficial to authors to give them the full picture of what reviewers had to say.
Of course, if you choose to give authors full reviewer comments, Harris said it's important to take precautions before sending out your final decision letters.
Harris said in her experience she's always been able to find a way to structure reviewer comments in a positive light, but that if she were to come across an unconstructive review she would look to the reviewer for help.
Harris said in her opinion, providing detailed feedback in all rejection letters is an essential responsibility of academic journals. Incorporating editor and reviewer comments into decision letters can help authors of underdeveloped manuscripts learn, grow, and make future contributions to the academic community.
"I think that's one of the functions of journals; it's not just about what serves the journal but what serves the academic community at large," she said.
All editors face the challenge of crafting rejection letters that give authors constructive feedback on their submissions but also make it clear to them that rejection decisions are final. Harris said editors should look to find a balance between both of these aims, keeping in mind that the tone and structure of their comments can have a big impact on how authors interpret them.
"You really try to make it as painless as possible, while at the same time making it firm enough where it's closing the door," she said.
In her decision letters Harris said she is always explicit and upfront about rejections, but also always makes a point to thank authors for taking the time to submit to the journal. When she provides editor and reviewer comments Harris said she is sure to present them as something she hopes the author will find beneficial. "I make sure to introduce the comments by telling authors I am including them in hopes they might be helpful. I think putting the letters together that way hopefully softens the blow," she said.
I want to introduce JRTDD web support specialist who is working very hard those weeks to establish really functional web site of the journal.
We want to share with you data about JRTDD publisher. It is ReAttach Therapy Foundation from The Netherlands. You can click on the link above to access to their web site. In this occasion editorial office wants to thank them for the money, time and lot of energy they invest in this project.
Endorse the journal to authors, readers and subscribers and encourage colleagues to submit their best work.

Yale lands cable TV deal for football
Ron Vaccaro 12:00 am, Sep 07, 2001
After winning 16 games in the last two seasons — including an Ivy League title in 1999 — the Yale football team garnered a huge off-field victory yesterday.
Athletics director Tom Beckett confirmed yesterday that the Eastern College Athletic Conference has reached an agreement with the New England Sports Network to broadcast eight contests this season. Yale will be the marquee team in this contract, with the Elis featured on NESN three or four times this season — more than any other squad. The deal means that Bulldog contests will be seen by 3.1 million homes throughout New England on basic cable, and millions more across the country have access to the channel via satellite systems.
The games will be broadcast as part of the ECAC Game of the Week package, which kicks off with a September 29th contest featuring the Elis at Holy Cross. The two other Yale contests which have been confirmed include Yale's October 20th battle against Pennsylvania at Franklin Field and the Bulldogs' game at Columbia October 27th. These three contests will be broadcast live. Beckett confirmed yesterday that a fourth Yale game may be added, but the details have not been completely worked out at this time.
Beckett said that the University did have to pay a fee to televise the games on NESN.
"This package really helps us do a lot to let prospective students know that Yale football has the opportunity to be on television and generates the interest to be on a channel with as large an audience as NESN," Beckett said.
The deal with also impact recruiting.
"The NESN package will be great for recruiting. … We will forward the schedule to all of our recruits and this is an opportunity for the recruits and their parents to get a look at us during their hectic season," Yale football head coach Jack Siedlecki said. "It can only be beneficial."
However, NESN is not available on the Yale campus since Comcast does not broadcast the channel. NESN is seen throughout New England — except in Fairfield County and parts of New Haven County which receive New York's MSG network in its place.
"We are exploring every possible opportunity to bring the games to the Yale campus and to as many people as we possibly can," Associate Athletic Director Wayne Dean said.
Comcast's Director of Public Relations Melody Avery said that the cable company is willing to explore every option available to bring the games to students.
ECAC commissioner Phil Buttafuoco also noted that with three games confirmed already, and the possibility of having a fourth, Yale is in a unique situation in terms of exposure. No other team has more than two games televised.
"This will showcase how exciting Yale football is," Beckett said. "And with general admission ticket prices of $5, Yale football may be one of the best sports buys in all of New England."
