Unfortunately, MSNBC reports that Israel is planning to take over even more Palestinian land, further adding to already illegal West Bank settlements.
Plans to expand a West Bank settlement by up to 2,500 homes drew Palestinian condemnation Monday and presented an early test for President Barack Obama, whose Mideast envoy is well known for opposing such construction.
Israel opened the way for possible expansion of the Efrat settlement by taking control of a nearby West Bank hill of 423 acres. The rocky plot was recently designated state land and is part of a master plan that envisions the settlement growing from 9,000 to 30,000 residents, Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi said.
The settlements, located on land captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, are illegal under international law which requires military occupiers to adminster areas under their control for the good of the local populace, not for their own good. Many of the settlers are frank about wanting to make it impossible for Palestinians to form their own state, something that they are unfortunately accomplishing; these settlements derail the peace process. Furthermore, Israel is stealing property from individual Palestinian landowners to make these settlements and their concomitant access roads.
About 290,000 Israelis live in the settlements—about 4% of the nation's population—up from about 195,000 in 2001.
Netanyahu wants to expand West Bank settlements
Posted 26 January 2009

Former Prime Minister of Israel and current leader of the opposition Benjamin Netanyahu says he will expand Israeli West Bank settlements if he becomes Prime Minister again after February 10th's elections. Based on current opinion polls, it appears likely that Netanyahu's party, Likud, will secure a plurality of seats in the Knesset and be able to form a government.
"I have no intention of building new settlements in the West Bank," Netanyahu was quoted as saying. "But like all the governments there have been until now, I will have to meet the needs of natural growth in the population. I will not be able to choke the settlements."
Israel's West Bank settlements, constructed on land captured in the 1967 Six-Day War, are probably illegal under international law and are certainly a major obstacle to a lasting peace deal with the Palestinians. It is therefore unfortunate that Netanyahu is willing to allow them to expand.
Settlement construction in the West Bank has been a key obstacle to peace talks over the years. The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank as part of a future independent state that would also include the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. They say Israel's settlements, now home to 280,000 people in the West Bank, make it increasingly difficult for them to establish a viable state.
Nearly all Israeli settlement construction over the past decade has taken place in existing West Bank communities. And Netanyahu's positions do not significantly differ from outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has allowed construction in existing settlements to continue even while holding peace talks with the Palestinians.
The West Bank. Israeli settlements in purple, areas where Palestinian movement is restricted in pink.
The settlements (see Wikipedia article) are home to about 280,000 Israelis and make it harder to the Palestinians to form a viable state. They also require significant security infrastructure due to violence against them from Palestinians. While the violence is deplorable, the anger which motivates it is understandable—how would you feel if foreigners came into your country and effectively claimed permanently as their own by building cities there? Also keep in mind that about 40% of the land on which the settlements are built is privately owned by (unremunuerated) Palestinians. Additionally, it is not simply the land on which they sit that Palestinians are deprived of; the settlements effectively cut up the West Bank, making travel and transport through the area difficult.
There are a lot of passions involved with the Israeli-Palestinian situtation. For a possibly less charged example of a similar sort of activity, consider the Chinese policy of trying to tightly wed Tibet, which they conquered militarily, to the People's Republic by settling ethnic Chinese people there.
These settlements make Israel less secure, not more secure. They are furthermore one of the biggest obstacles to peace, right up there with continued Palestinian violence. They are increasingly costing Israelis the good will of their allies, including, quite possibly, the United States under the new Obama administration.
Kadima party leader and Prime Minister candidate Tzipi Livni has vowed to dismantle the settlements, if elected. This blog very much hopes that she will get that chance.
An analysis of Israel's strategic decision-making

The Flag of Israel, shown with the correct hight/width ratio of 11:8
Foreign Policy magazine has an interesting new piece out, "The myth of Israel's strategic genius," which attempts to analyze the wisdom of that nation's strategic decisions since its founding. The author, Stephen M. Walt, concludes that while Israel gets a lot of credit for making good decisions, its actions have not helped it achieve long-term security and, indeed, some, such as supporting Hamas in the 1980s, have done much to imperil the country.
The article looks at pretty much every major armed crisis involving Israel since the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, including the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, and all the way up to the current Gaza action.
From the article's conclusion:
In virtually all of these episodes — and especially those after 1982 — Israel's superior military power was used in ways that did not improve its long-term strategic position. Given this dismal record, therefore, there is no reason to think that Israel possesses uniquely gifted strategists or a national security establishment that consistently makes smart and far-sighted choices. Indeed, what is perhaps most remarkable about Israel is how often the architects of these disasters — Barak, Olmert, Sharon, and maybe Netanyahu — are not banished from leadership roles but instead are given another opportunity to repeat their mistakes. Where is the accountability in the Israeli political system?
The moral of this story is that there is no reason to think that Israel always has well-conceived strategies for dealing with the problems that it faces. In fact, Israel's strategic judgment seems to have declined steadily since the 1970s — beginning with the 1982 invasion of Lebanon — perhaps because unconditional U.S. support has helped insulate Israel from some of the costs of its actions and made it easier for Israel to indulge strategic illusions and ideological pipe-dreams. Given this reality, there is no reason for Israel's friends — both Jewish and gentile — to remain silent when it decides to pursue a foolish policy. And given that our "special relationship" with Israel means that the United States is invariably associated with Jerusalem's actions, Americans should not hesitate to raise their voices to criticize Israel when it is acting in ways that are not in the U.S. national interest.
Those who refuse to criticize Israel even when it acts foolishly surely think they are helping the Jewish state. They are wrong. In fact, they are false friends, because their silence, or worse, their cheerleading, merely encourages Israel to continue potentially disastrous courses of action. Israel could use some honest advice these days, and it would make eminently good sense if its closest ally were able to provide it. Ideally, this advice would come from the president, the secretary of state, and prominent members of Congress — speaking as openly as some politicians in other democracies do. But that's unlikely to happen, because Israel's supporters make it almost impossible for Washington to do anything but reflexively back Israel's actions, whether they make sense or not. And they often do not these days.
Also touched on briefly are some of the failed peace initiatives, including the Camp David meetings presided over by Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, the article doesn't go into detail about the proposals and their perceived deficiencies.
The article additionally mentions the West Bank settlements.
More importantly, after seizing the West Bank, Golan Heights and Gaza Strip during the [Six Day] war, Israeli leaders decided to start building settlements and eventually incorporate them into a "greater Israel." Thus, 1967 marks the beginning of Israel's settlements project, a decision that even someone as sympathetic to Israel as Leon Wieseltier has described as "a moral and strategic blunder of historic proportions." Remarkably, this momentous decision was never openly debated within the Israeli body politic.
As I blogged about previously, Israel's West Bank settlements are a major obstacle to peace and should be dismantled immediately if Israel is interested in a workable, long-term peace deal.
Palestinians offer peace plan to Israel
Filed under: international | Tags: Abu Mazen, Arab League, Arab-Israeli conflict, Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, east Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, Israel, Israeli settlements, Jerusalem, Mahmoud Abbas, Palestine, Palestinian Authority, Palestinians, Saudi Arabia, Second Intifada, two-state solution, West Bank settlements
The Palestinians don't have a state but they already have a good flag. That's a good sign.
There is a positive development in the Arab-Israeli conflict: the Palestinian Authority has published, in Hebrew, a peace proposal in Israel's four largest daily papers. It outlines the plan that's backed by both Saudi Arabia and the Arab League that calls for:
Israel withdraws from entire Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Eastern Jerusalem;
Normalization of relations between Israel and the 57 members of the Arab League, who would "consider the Arab-Israeli conflict ended"; and
the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
Apparently it was Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's idea to place the ads, which describe what Israeli officials have called a "positive initiative" that need to be "fine tuned and corrected.".
Like the majority of Israelis and Palestinians, this blog favors a two-state solution and welcomes this development. This is a serious proposal, and hopefully is being offered and will be taken and seriously.
Of course the third item, the Palestinian right of return, would significantly change the nature of Israel in the short-term, making it about 40% Arab, and would have the longer-term effect of there being two Palestinian states, due to demographics changes. However, the plan calls for a "just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem," which could be accomplished via other means. For instance, I rather think it'd be well worth it for the United States to put up several billion dollars to compensate the refugees and allow them to get on with their lives in a rebuilding Palestinian state; it'd be much cheaper and safer than an indefinite continuation of the status quo.
The Flag of Israel has a hight:width ratio of 11:8. The precise shade of blue is not specified.
There are two major stumbling blocks that need to be removed. For their part, Israel needs to remove the settlements which have been built in the West Bank. Just as two Palestinian states wouldn't qualify as a solution neither would two Israeli states, which is basically what is accomplished with these settlements. They need to be dismantled, something which can be accomplished fairly easily. Israel should begin removing these outposts immediately and unilaterally. That will put the onus on the Palestinians to do their part and will show everyone that Israel is serious about making a Palestinian state possible.
The second major problem going forward is the ability of the Palestinian Authority to end the attacks on Israel. If they can't do that, this isn't going to work; Israel must have security. Lasting peace will require two states, side by side, and living in peace with each other. Of course, there will be some radicals on both sides who will reject any possible compromise; some on the Arab side will likely resort to violence.
Reportedly, President-elect Barack Obama finds this Arab proposal to be constructive. He is also impressed with Benjamin Netanyahu's "economic peace" plan, which calls for rebuilding the economy and infrastructure of the Palestinian areas as a prelude to a formal peace plan. If Palestinians had more jobs and were less desperate, they'd be less likely to strap bombs to themselves.
There have been problems with just about all the peace deals offered thus far, and this one from the Arab League is no exception. However, I think the way forward is becoming pretty clear. Ultimately, I think there will be two states, based largely on the 1967-borders (with some 1:1 land swaps) and no right of return, but some other sort of compensation to make up for that. This won't happen until Israel dismantles, or guarantees it will dismantle, the West Bank settlements and the Palestinians make significant progress in curbing the violence from their side. I predict this will happen 5-20 years from now. It's just a matter of how soon the two sides realize this and make it happen. More than 42% Palestinians are under 15. Hopefully they'll soon realize that violence isn't going to get them what they want and will reject terrorism and decide that most of what they want with peace and modernization is better than a continuation of the violence.


During the 2013 Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced that Capital Gains Tax ('CGT') would be extended to non-UK residents selling UK residential property.
Whilst the Chancellor proclaimed that "Britain is an open country that welcomes investment in our residential property", he observed that there is currently an imbalance between how UK residents and non-UK residents are assessed to CGT when disposing of UK residential property. Seeking to redress this he announced that from April 2015, UK residents and non-UK residents realising capital gains on UK residential property will be subject to UK CGT in the same way.
On 28 March 2014, the Government published the long awaited consultation document on extending CGT to non-UK residents and what follows is a summary of that consultation document.
Non-UK residents selling UK residential property will be subject to CGT from April 2015 but 'only to capital gains arising from that date' which suggests that the base cost of properties for CGT purposes will be 'uplifted' at that date.
Individuals, trusts, companies and non-UK resident partners of partnerships owning UK residential properties will be subject to the CGT. However, certain qualifying funds will not be within the charge, such as foreign equivalent Real Estate Investment Trusts.
The rate of CGT will be either 18% or 28% for individuals, depending on the level of their total UK income and capital gains. It is intended for the capital gains annual exempt amount (currently £11,000) to also be available to individuals. The rate of tax applying to other entities, such as companies, was not confirmed in the consultation document.
The new CGT will apply to a property 'used or suitable for use as a dwelling i.e. a place that currently is, or has the potential to be, used as a residence'. The Government has confirmed in the consultation document that residential property that is primarily for communal use, such as boarding schools and nursing homes will not be affected by the new CGT, but residential accommodation for students will come within the new tax, except where the property is part of a hall of residence attached to an educational institution. This is a different stance to how the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings ('ATED') applies to student accommodation.
The consultation document confirms that Principal Private Residence ('PPR') relief should be available to non-UK resident individuals, but the Government considers it will only apply in limited circumstances as a non-UK resident individual's main residence is expected to be outside the UK. With this, the consultation document proposes replacing the current PPR election rules with a qualitative measure, which will affect UK resident individuals as well.
The difficulty with extending CGT to non-UK residents revolves around how the Government will collect the tax. The delivery mechanism outlined in the consultation document is open-ended and it is apparent the Government is not clear as to how the new tax will operate in practice. The current proposal is that a new withholding tax will be applied at the point of sale of the property. The withholding tax would be applied by solicitors, accountants or property agents, and this will naturally lead to additional compliance requirements for such persons. The non-UK resident would have the option to pay the withholding tax or pay the actual tax based on the calculated capital gain within 30 days of the sale of the property, and so would sit alongside the Stamp Duty Land Tax ('SDLT') timescale for property purchases.
Finally, it is important to note that whilst the ATED currently applies to UK residential properties worth over £2m (this threshold is reducing to properties worth over £500,000 from 1 April 2016), the new CGT applies to all UK residential properties, irrespective of their value. In addition, unlike the ATED regime there are no reliefs from the new CGT for properties used in genuine businesses.
If you are a non-UK resident that currently owns a UK residential property you should arrange a valuation of your property at April 2015 in anticipation of the introduction of the new CGT.
If you are considering selling a UK property, a sale within the next 12 months, i.e. before April 2015, will ensure the new CGT regime does not apply. It is expected that transitional rules will be introduced where exchange has occurred but the transaction is not completed by April 2015, but this should not be relied upon and planning for a sale to be completed before April 2015 will be the prudent approach.
If you are purchasing a UK residential property, due consideration should be given to the new CGT proposals and the existing ATED regime. Where the circumstances fit, acquiring a UK residential property through an overseas company may be appropriate and this would provide the option to subsequently sell the shares in the overseas company, in which case the new CGT would not apply. If acquiring a UK residential property through an overseas company, the ATED provisions would also need to be carefully considered. For details regarding the announcement at the 2014 Budget concerning the extension of ATED to properties valued over £500,000, please see our separate briefing note which can be accessed here.
It has been a longstanding principle of the UK tax system that non-residents are not subject to UK CGT, irrespective of where the asset concerned is located. The extension of CGT to non-UK residents selling UK residential property represents a significant change to the UK's CGT legislation. In addition, the new CGT follows the introduction of ATED in 2013/14, and the extension of that regime to properties worth more than £500,000 as announced in the 2014 Budget. The significant changes to the taxation of UK residential property over the last two years has resulted in a complex taxation system and the latest proposals will no doubt add further intricacy and additional compliance requirements for non-UK resident investors.

Pride on the Plains hosts family fun day in Auburn
By Gabriela Johnson
AUBURN, Ala. (WTVM) - A non-profit organization, Pride on the Plains, has a main goal - to promote a sense of pride throughout Lee County. The non-profit hosted one of their monthly meetings this past weekend.
Once a month, Pride on the Plains hosts a family fun day at Coffee Mafia Shop in Auburn.
"I've gone to the past two or three in a row - it's great," said Abigail Luster.
"This is my first one... I saw it on Instagram and I sent it to her and said we've got to go," said Mylee Speake.
It's a free event for everyone. There's board games, coffee, and a drag show. President of Pride on the Plains, Colana Bleu, says the event sets a different scene.
"Drag events are later in the evening and when people are asleep so we like to have a a time when people can come and all ages can enjoy a family-friendly drag show for all ages clean, family friendly and appropriate," said Bleu.
While there were games to play, all the attention was on the show. Drag queens and king showed off their moves.
Bleu says the organization loves to be as visible as possible in the community.
"Events like this help us be as visible as we can be in the community," said Bleu. "We always love to have a space where people can come and hang out and just relax and be themselves sometimes you really don't have that space."
Auburn University student Abigail Luster says as a college student, this event is a great safe space.
"There's a lot of unsafe feeling spaces so having that one space that we all know is safe we can all come here and enjoy it ourselves and enjoy being ourselves," said Luster.
All of the funds raised will go towards upcoming programming that supports Pride on the Plain's mission -the organization has announced their 5th annual Pride on the Plains will be on June 4.
And with Valentine's Day just around the corner, the organization is doing Valentine's Day cameos or in-person drag performances.

Opportunities for Growth in a Green Economy.
The Sustainability table series is a discourse organized by Avant-Garde Limited - an innovative frontier for advocacy on environmental protection and sustainable development in Nigeria.
Protecting the environment is a global priority and it is as urgent in Nigeria as it is anywhere else in the world. Thriving economic growth has at often times posed major detrimental effects to the fragile natural environment. The notion that economic growth and environmental degradation go hand in hand does not hold sway any longer. There is an intensifying demand for a paradigm change, where in the environment is been protected viz-a -viz a booming economy.
Among the objectives of this year's edition is to shape the evolving dialogue on sustainability, share ideas and have genuine arguments in the direction of sustainability in order to proffer to solution to problems from and mitigate climate change.
The theme for this year's edition is Green Economy; A panacea for the future of Sustainable Development in Nigeria - Opportunities for Growth.
Network with industry business leaders, policymakers, scientists, academics, and investors who are the forefront of the sustainability agenda across the world.
Be a participant in the discourse on the challenges and opportunities in the global effort to protect the environment.
Share strategies and ideas on how to become more sustainable and imbibe pro-environmental behavior.
Review international policies and how they can be implemented within Nigeria.
Discuss the role of the finance industry in encouraging the adoption of climate finance and of environmental impact assessments.
As Nigerians, we are not left out from the contributions to planet's decline. Massive over-crowding of cities, wanton deforestation, gas flaring and other non- environmentally friendly practices are increasing our carbon footprint. While improper disposal of our waste, haphazard planning and execution of various societal projects lead to large scale environmental degradation; thus, stressing the importance of pro-environmental behavior.
The effects of climate change will be felt much harder in Nigeria (developing countries)considering we currently do not have substantial resources channeled towards tacking the adverse effects of climate change.
What are the importance and benefits of education at various levels and targeted at different stakeholders and awareness campaigns.
How can regional policymakers apply lessons learnt from global trends to Nigeria's sustainability plans?
The Federal Government and some state governments have for some time put forward policies to tackle climate change but what has the impact been so far, has the momentum been lost?
What must business leaders do to scale up action from responsibility to leadership?
Are banks, fin tech organisations and insurance companies implementing environmental protection policies which could make a huge impact on climate change mitigation and adaptation?
Renewable Energy Technology financing options for energy access.
The value of technology/payment option for alleviating energy poverty.
Effects of degradation and poor environmental situations forces choices on the citizens and inadvertently takes fundamental rights of freedom which ripples into societal insecurity and inequity.
The recognition that an inclusive green economy is an approach to protect the economy while reducing the potentials menace of unemployment, under employment, insecurity and social inequality.
Importance and benefits of education at various levels and targeted at different stakeholders and awareness campaigns.
How low income livelihoods are at greater risk from climate change, biodiversity, deforestation etc.
What efforts are being made to address this and ensure stakeholder participation in decision making in affected communities? Considering he long term negative effects of global warming and climate change will be felt much harder in Nigeria (developing countries) as we currently do not have enough resources channeled towards tacking the adverse effects of climate change.
Environmental degradation is/was a major foundation to most security issues in Nigeria and pro-environmental behavior may in turn be a life changing solution.
The recognition that an inclusive green economy is an approach to protect the economy whilst reducing the potentials menace of unemployment, under employment, insecurity and social inequality.
What role does the financial industry have to play in encouraging green economy?
What research is needed to stimulate eco-innovation, and how can scientific evidence and models facilitate better decision making?
Define what a Green Economy should look like in the Nigerian context, although, this term was coined outside Nigeria, and if we are to domesticate it what form should it take to address development objectives in Nigeria?

Henri Meilhac
1st arrondissement of Paris, France
6 June 1897(1897-06-06) (aged 66)
8th arrondissement of Paris, France
Henri Meilhac (23 February 1830 – 6 July 1897) was a French dramatist and opera librettist, best known for his collaborations with Ludovic Halévy on Georges Bizet's Carmen and on the works of Jacques Offenbach, as well as Jules Massenet's Manon.
Biography[edit]
Meilhac was born in the 1st arrondissement of Paris in 1830. As a young man, he began writing fanciful articles for Parisian newspapers and comédies en vaudevilles, in a vivacious boulevardier spirit which brought him to the forefront. About 1860, Meilhac met Ludovic Halévy, and their collaboration for the stage lasted twenty years.
Their most famous collaboration is the libretto for Georges Bizet's Carmen. However, Meilhac's work is most closely tied to the music of Jacques Offenbach, for whom he wrote over a dozen librettos, most of them together with Halévy. The most successful collaborations with Offenbach are La belle Hélène (1864), Barbe-bleue (1866), La Vie parisienne (1866), La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein (1867), and La Périchole (1868).
Other librettos by Meilhac include Jules Massenet's Manon (with Philippe Gille) (1884), Hervé's Mam'zelle Nitouche (1883), and Rip, the French version of Robert Planquette's operetta Rip Van Winkle (also with Gille). Their vaudeville play Le réveillon was the basis of the operetta Die Fledermaus.
In 1888, Meilhac was elected to the Académie française. He died in Paris in 1897.

MLB free agency 2018: Where should the top remaining players end up?
Written By Alec Brzezinski
(Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/omnisport/2a/bc/arrieta-jake-usnews-getty-ftr_k3qt33boly151hc21wuwjnp4g.jpg?t=64538392&w=500&quality=80
The 2018 MLB free agent class got a late start this offseason, but some of the biggest names have finally found homes.
Still, with the new regular season fast approaching, a number of high-profile names remain on the open market. While most teams have a pretty clear plan at this stage, a few last-minute additions could push a couple teams into postseason contention.
Here are the top remaining 2018 MLB free agents and where they best fit:
Arrieta, the 2015 NL Cy Young award winner, has seen his ERA rise (3.10, 3.53) each of the last two seasons after back-to-back elite campaigns (2.53, 1.77 ERAs). Arrieta's command has suffered a bit in recent seasons, but he's still just 31 years old. The Cubs opted to sign Yu Darvish instead of bringing back Arrieta, sending a tidal wave through the free-agent class.
The Phillies, who added first baseman Carlos Santana this offseason, have toyed with signing at least one of the high-profile pitchers remaining on the market. Arrieta could be a perfect option because he eats innings, would give the young rotation members a veteran leader and he would have a larger ballpark to play with. The Brewers also seem like a fit as they continue their search for an ace.
Early in the offseason, Cobb seemed like a hot commodity almost being overvalued by teams. Now, as the calendar turns to March, Cobb remains unsigned and undervalued. The turn in events seemingly had little to do with Cobb, who went 12-10 with a 3.66 ERA last season. The former Rays starter looks like an ideal No. 3 on a contending team, capable of ace-like starts when healthy.
The Orioles and Phillies have expressed interest, but Cobb's best option would be a more iron-clad contender like the Nationals, who apparently are "monitoring" Arrieta. If Cobb could walk into a rotation with two or three studs, he could skip a start every once and a while to remain fresh and help avoid further injury issues (he missed all of 2015 and made just five starts in 2016 after Tommy John surgery). Again, the Brewers could also be an enticing option.
The lack of interest around Gonzalez is somewhat shocking. Yes, he's now 32 years old and he only played 136 games last season while watching his production drop (14 home runs, 57 RBIs). But Gonzalez hit 25 home runs with a .298 average in 2016, and he belted 40 home runs in 2015. He's still a starter-quality outfielder who can make a team better.
The Orioles have been making moves recently and could use a left fielder. Gonzalez could be an enticing piece in a small ballpark. The Padres and Giants are also trying to contend in the loaded NL West, and could use more outfield depth.
Lynn, like Cobb, was more popular early in the offseason, and seems to have dropped off the radar just a bit. Lynn's best fits are still in the NL Central, where he enjoyed a successful career with the Cardinals. Returning to St. Louis would be good for both sides, as Lynn is comfortable in the ballpark and the Cardinals still need some rotation depth.
Out of all the remaining pitchers, Lynn might be the most likely to end up in Milwaukee. The Brewers reconstructed their outfield this offseason, but really need at least one more strong arm to realistically make a long postseason run. Lynn could help there.
At times, Moustakas was one of the best players in baseball last season. He was at least one of the most improved. The third baseman bashed 38 home runs with 85 RBIs, while sustaining a solid 272/.314/.521 slash line. So why is he still on the market?
The Yankees were linked, but they traded with the Diamondbacks for Brandon Drury — a cheaper option. The Royals were interested in re-signing him until Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer left, leaving them in a full rebuilding mode. With most contending teams set at third base, Moustakas finds himself in an odd situation. He may have to settle for a short-term deal with the likes of Minnesota or the White Sox and hope for better in a year or two.


Twenty-five samples from six subenvironments in the barrier-lagoon systems in northeastern Shandong province, China, are examined. A statistical method is used to study the roundness variation of grains of different sizes. Roundness of very fine pebble and very coarse sand varies significantly in different subenvironments. It is possible to discriminate among aqueous depositional environments using the roundness of grains of these sizes. Roundness of grains finer than 0.84 φ is not distinguishable in different subenvironments.
Roundness decreases with decreasing grain size. The differences among grains of different sizes are most remarkable on barrier beaches, but few differences can be observed in the underlying flood-fluvial sediments of the barrier-lagoon systems. These indicate that grains of different sizes have different potential for being rounded. Grains finer than 0.84 φ are very difficult to round, even on high-energy beaches. Short distance of transportation and brittleness of grains both inhibit the rounding of grains.

What Prince Can Teach Artists About Record Contracts
"Let the baker make the bread." It's a simple statement that carries the weight of the entire recording industry and all of the litany of problems that come with it. For anyone who dreams of becoming a recording artist, the chances are that you may have heard about all of the issues you may come up against when singing with a record label. While, yes, signing with a label has some perks, one artist, in particular, has stated that signing and working with a record label is akin to slavery.
This artist is Prince. And today, your friends at the De Novo Agency wanted to take some time and dive into exactly why Prince felt that way about labels and what he can teach any and all aspiring recording artists about record contracts. Oh, and that first quote is also from Prince, but we'll touch on that shortly!
For now, let's look at exactly why Prince had such profound and beneficial knowledge to share with artists everywhere, even after his tragic death only a few years ago.
Prince is an artist who was renowned for his breathtaking talent as a multi-instrumentalist and his uncanny vision for his music—his art. And he set the recording label industry on fire because of his steadfast belief that the baker should make the bread. His thinking was pretty simple. He's the artist who's working so hard and pouring out his vision and his soul with every song he records. He, as the artist, should be the one that gets paid for it directly and be able to make the music he wants to when he wants.
I mean, wouldn't you feel the same way? Don't you already feel the same way as an artist? But the sad fact is, that's not how recording contracts work in the state of the industry what it is today. Especially when they're trying to grasp a hold of anything they can now in the digital age.
Not only was Prince's music as iconic as it goes with such like 'Purple Rain,' '1999', 'Raspberry Beret' and 'When Doves Cry, but he is infamously admired and remembered for his contentious relationship with the music industry. All he wanted was control over his music and would stop at nothing to have it… and it's this same approach to the recording industry that the team at the De Novo Agency believe every artist should take to their art.
A little background on Prince and his label:
When he was 18, he signed his first contract with Warner Bros Records. His debut album came out in 1978, and he produced it and played every instrument on it. He was a savant who did everything (save for engineering) on his terms, but it took his sixth studio album to get his first number one with Purple Rain.
Due to his success, Warner extended the contract with a six-album deal worth $100 million. However, the extended contract allowed Warner to take complete ownership of his work and transfer all his music under their umbrella.
It didn't take long to realize that the deal with Warner wasn't favorable, and he wanted out. But Warner Bros. wasn't going to let him free. One of the first things about the industry you can learn as an artist is that once you're locked into a contract with a label, you are locked in, and you may have to take incredible action to get out of the contract. But the thing about current contracts is that the deals are stricter and don't allow artists to be vocal with similar situations.
Here's what Prince said about his recording contract at the time after he pumped out the remaining albums to fulfill his contract without worrying about the quality. "They are what they are, and I am what I am, and eventually, I realized that those two systems aren't going to work together. The Deeper you get into that well, the darker it becomes", he said. You can see that interview here.
Your name is your brand. Be sure you own it.
"The first step I have taken towards the ultimate goal of emancipating from the chains that bind me to Warner Bros. was to change my name," he said in a press release.
Prince showed artists now that they must be aware their name is their brand, and if a label takes control, they will use that name to promote their work and sell merchandise. But if you don't protect your name, you can end up feeling like you need to be freed from a contract that leaves you with no control over your own name, let alone your image.
You're working for them, not them for you.
Make your music on your terms.
Once Prince was able to get out of his Warner Brothers deal, he found himself with EMI Records. And they allowed him to put out an album when he was ready, instead of when they wanted him to that comes with other labels.
Prince told The New York Times in 1996 that "music doesn't come on a schedule … The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is."
It was then that Prince was putting out multiple albums on different labels through his NPG label. They were distribution contracts, not label contracts. There's a difference here. Making the album yourself and owning your masters gives you complete control. All you need is a distribution arm that will take their cut but not own your brand. Prince talked all about this here.
Learn from Prince here. And there's something to be said about Taylor Swift doing what she's doing by recreating her masters, so she now owns her own masters.
As an artist, it's your gift that you're sharing with the world through your music, and you are master to no one.
Prince has taught artists for generations to honor their craft and own their artistry, and most importantly, you can still create a lifelong career doing it. Learn from his struggles in the industry and be careful of contract deals and major record labels. He famously once said, "record contracts are just like – I'm gonna say the word – slavery. I would tell any young artist … don't sign."

Bravida's sustainability work is part of future-proofing and developing our business. Right now we're working intensively to take our sustainability efforts to the next level. We don't necessarily have all the answers, but we're learning, developing and working together to take the required steps.
Bravida aims to conduct long-term, responsible and sustainable business that integrates environmental, social and economic considerations into the business operations. In recent years we have laid the foundations for this, based on the sustainability strategy adopted in 2015. But a lot has changed since then.
Bravida's sustainability policy (Swedish) Bravida's Sustainability Policy describes how we work to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
We are currently working hard to take our sustainability work to the next level in line with the new sustainability policy adopted in January 2021. Part of this work is to clarify how our customer offering contributes to lower use of resources by our customers. In parallel, we have raised the level of ambition of our own efforts in the sustainability areas we prioritise. We are also working to improve the monitoring of KPIs that measure the impact of our own operations in order to be transparent about our environmental and climate impact.
How we organise our work on sustainability
Bravida's work on sustainability is based on our overall strategic direction and goals, which are decided by the Board of Directors. Group management sets strategies and goals for sustainability work, and ensures that the goals are met. Ultimately responsibility lies with the Chief Executive Officer.
Bravida's Sustainability Committee consists of members of Group management and is chaired by the Head of Business Development. The Committee is responsible for developing and refining the sustainability strategy, long-term goals and sustainability-related policies. They are supported by the Group Business Development function, which also monitors external requirements, conducts stakeholder dialogue and communicates sustainability performance and progress.
The Nordic operations ensure that the country-specific sustainability strategy, long-term goals and policies are in place and aligned with the Group-wide strategy and goals. Country and divisional managers are ultimately responsible for this. National legal, purchasing, finance and HR staff provide additional support.

Thomas Cavanagh (cavanagh@ucf.edu), Ph.D. is Vice Provost for Digital Learning at the University of Central Florida. In this role he oversees all classroom technology and the distance learning strategy, policies, and practices of one of the nation's largest universities, where online learning is a key element for fulfilling the institutional mission. In his career, Tom has administered e-learning development for both academic (public and private) and industrial (Fortune 500, government/military) audiences. He has been recognized with a number of awards including the USDLA Outstanding Leadership Award and been named an Online Learning Consortium Fellow. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and often consults with other institutions regarding their online learning strategies. He is active in the higher education community and serves on a number of national advisory boards. He is also an award-winning author of several mystery novels.
We have brought Thomas Cavanagh to intelligenthq today in an interview with Dr. Emad Rahim.
Please tell us a little about your department at the university?
The Division of Digital Learning is responsible for leveraging the latest educational technologies in support of UCF's academic mission, with a particular emphasis on exploring innovative ways to positively impact student access, the cost of providing an education, and the quality of the learning experience. It includes the following units and areas: the Center for Distributed Learning, the Office of Instructional Resources, UCF Online, Mobile Strategy, Learning Analytics, and the Pegasus Innovation Lab (iLab).
Please describe what your work entails at the university?
I think of my job as trying to help the university think of new ways to accomplish its academic goals, particularly in the use of digital technologies. That may be related to online learning, blended learning, classroom technology, adaptive learning, or any number of other strategies. I am responsible for building the necessary support, advocating for resources, and ultimately helping the division meet those university objectives.
How did you get started in this line of work? How long have you been with your university?
I have been at UCF for just over 9 years. Prior to that I spent a few years at the Worldwide Campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Before that, I spent a number of years building online workforce training at both a commercial e-learning consultancy and at a public-private research institute. I began my career in children's television and spent several years working for shows on the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon.
How have you prepared for your administrative career in higher education?
Through a series of roles with increasing responsibility, I have been able to work in a variety of capacities in both industry and higher education. Having a terminal degree has helped, but even more helpful has been that breadth of experience that includes instructional design, project management, teaching courses, budget management, and public speaking. My personal higher education experience is representative of the diversity of the postsecondary world, which I believe helps my perspective. I have earned degrees from a top-50 private university, a for-profit school, and a large public R1 institution. I have taught face-to-face, online, and blended courses for several institutions, both public and private, non-profit and for-profit, including university and state/community colleges. I have also sought out and participated in high-impact professional development programs, such as the Management Development Program at Harvard University.
How does your work support the university's overall strategy?
UCF is a large school. In Fall 2017 we had over 66,300 students enrolled. We would not have been able to serve all of those students without the access created by digital learning. Online learning is used strategically at UCF to meet university objectives, addressing both scale and excellence. Over 44% of UCF's student credit hours (SCH) are in online modalities (32.5% fully online). Over 82% of our students take one or more online or blended courses each year (73% fully online). Five colleges are more than 50% online/blended, measured by SCH. Another four are between 25%-49%.
How does your work serve your institution's student and faculty population?
Ensuring adequate faculty and student support is a key priority in implementing a high quality program. Frankly, the technology is relatively easy, which makes it dangerous, because you can easily "outrun your quality supply lines." You must be intentional about building in excellence for both faculty and student support. Faculty development is critical and we believe that it is important that the same faculty who teach on campus also teach online. Student support must recognize the unique needs and challenges of primarily non-traditional online learners. We have a 20+ year history of high quality online learning, recognized through dozens of awards from external organizations such as Educause, the Online Learning Consortium, IMS Global, Campus Technology, the New Media Consortium, WCET, and the US Distance Learning Association.
One example of how we support faculty is through extensive, award-winning faculty development programs. Each faculty member developing an online course is required to complete a rigorous 80-hour professional development program. This program is taught in a blended format, placing faculty into the role of being online students themselves. Interestingly, the percentage of SCH taughtonline by fulltime faculty actually exceeds the percentage of SCH taught F2F by full time faculty.
One example of how we provide intentional, customized student support is through dedicated success coaches for online students. Each online student is assigned a personal success coach who serves as an advocate and consultant throughout their UCF education. At UCF, the achievement gaps are smaller for minority and Pell-eligible students in online and blended courses than in face-to-face courses.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your work and what do you find to be the most challenging?
By far the most rewarding aspect of my work is helping to make a tangible difference in students' lives. Education is the single greatest way to enable socioeconomic growth and it is humbling to be a part of that process. The majority of today's students are non-traditional. They need the flexibility of online learning to pursue that education (see one student's story at:https://vimeo.com/239731375/95 595260ed).
The most challenging parts of the job are, like at many places, resource constraints. Our goals are bold and ambitious and we want to move more quickly than current state or institutional funding often allows.
Are there any projects you are working on to advance your institution?
A few areas of particular emphasis are adaptive learning, which personalizes the educational experience for students; learning analytics and research; and the next generation of blended learning, which combines active learning and adaptive elements. To date, our personalized adaptive learning initiative has impacted more than 12,000 students. Their performance in personalized adaptive courses has exceeded that of other modalities and they have overwhelmingly rated the experience positively. We have referred to this type of experience as Learning My Way, which empowers the student to exert a level of agency over their instructional paths.
What is your leadership style and management principles for success?
My role as a leader is a careful balance of internal and external responsibilities. Internally, I must ensure the effective operation of my division, including budgeting, staff management, professional development, and allocation of scarce resources. Externally, it is my duty to constantly scan the horizon and keep watch for future trends so that UCF can proactively prepare for tomorrow. I pride myself on an open leadership style and strive to empower others to take ownership of tasks while holding them accountable for results. Coalition-building, shared governance, effective execution of strategy, and accountability are key themes that I aspire towards, sometimes finding success and at other times learning from missteps.
Is there anything you want to share with our readers in closing?
UCF is very focused on access and faculty/student support—or, as we articulate it more broadly for our overall strategic plan, Scale x Excellence = Impact. That has been realized through a robust offering of courses and programs (approximately 80 undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates at ucf.edu/online) and extensive faculty development. Going forward, we intend to maintain that quality foundation of access and excellence and build on it by developing and implementing the next generation of digital learning innovations.

Letter from Mr. Treadwell
I feel honored to be the Head Band Director for McKinney Boyd High School! The McKinney district is well known for excellence in education, and I know that parent support has been an essential ingredient of that excellence. In order for the MBHS Band to reach its full potential, parent volunteer support will be needed. There will be a variety of opportunities for you to become involved at whatever level you feel comfortable.The most important reason for your son or daughter to participate in the high school band program is that the peer group will be very positive. The kids in the band program are from families, just like yours, in which the parents have an active role in the student's development. The fact that parents will in some way be a part of every band activity means that somebody's mom or dad will be on hand to encourage students to make good choices. The mere presence of parents tends to provide a tremendously positive influence on student behavior! Some of the areas where parent help will always be needed will be the following:
Uniforms – organizing, measuring students, and issuing uniforms
Fundraising – ideas and mobilization of fundraising events
Chaperones – parent supervision of events off campus
Hospitality – help with the serving and organization of meals for various events
Equipment – help with the moving and loading of equipment for various performances. This means you Dads!
Fund Raising – selecting events and organizing implementation
Publicity – take pictures, videos, help create archives to document the start upprocess and our progress
Additional committees may be needed, but these are among to most crucial. The continued success of the McKinney Boyd Band depends not only on your support but also on the unity of purpose between staff and the parent volunteers. The potential for success seems tremendous, and the opportunity ahead of us should provide great friendships and experiences we can cherish for a lifetime! I look forward to meeting and getting to know each of you in the near future.

Frequently Asked Questions about high school band.....
1. Can my child handle marching band and academics?
Yes. Marching season builds not only a great work ethic but great time management skills. Marching band is definitely a time commitment but the rewards and skills learned are many and life long. The average band student will maintain a higher grade point average during marching season than at any other time of the year. It is at the end of marching season when you must be very careful. Students suddenly end up with agreat deal of extra time on their hands and tend not to use it wisely. Seek out a parent of an older band student to gain valuable insight into the management of marching band, academics and time Remember…band students are among the highest academic achievers at McKinney Boyd High School!
2. Can I do band and athletics?
Yes. The coaching and band staffs work very well together to accommodate students and most school activities. There are a number of band students who are involved in athletic sports like figure skating volleyball, baseball, wrestling, tennis, lacrosse, soccer, softball, bowling, track and cross country. Coordination, communication and flexibility are necessary to make this work. Don't forget that marching band does fulfill you P.E. credit!
3. Is marching band physically challenging?
Yes. Marching band is physically challenging and you will sweat. However you need no prior experience to learn. The act of learning to march can be physically awkward in the beginning but becomes a more natural physical activity over time. Remember…every ninth grader will be starting with the same level of experience and knowledge and will have the same reservations that you do.
4. Does my student have to be in marching band?
Yes. Our curriculum does not include a performing group for non-marchers in the Fall semester. All students will have the opportunity to participate at some level with the exception of some band students whoparticipate with Fall semester sports that directly conflict with the band schedule. We will work with you!
5. What kind of commitment is my student making for marching band?
In order to march in the fall show ("show" is the term the band uses for the performance at half-time on Friday night), a student must participate in the following:
August band camp held at Boyd High School
Marching band practice during school on Mondays 5:15 PM, Tuesdays 5:15 PM, Thursdays 5:15 PM and Fridays 7:00 AM during marching season.

7. How much money does it cost to be in the band?
That depends on the level of participation of your student. Each student is required to purchase band shoes, a band shirt, a flip folder and a few other supplies. There is a fee to cover expenses not paid for by MISD. We are conscientious of your money and keep our costs down as much as possible. You must also purchase or rent a quality instrument to play in the band. Some instruments like the euphonium, tuba, French Horn, oboe, bassoon, percussion and others are rented from the school for $100 per concert instrument and $50 per marching instrument, per year. Many expenses associated with supplies and uniform accessories will be one time purchases.

Band members only need to sign up for band class on their class selection sheet to be "in"! Students will be placed in one of the 3 bands based on auditions with the high school band directors.

It's time for another beauty post! I'm excited to share with you a new campaign quite up my alley, #MacLipsLipsLips. As a glamour girl you know I'm all about lipstick, and I've been mesmerized by the selections MAC provides ... just beginning with classic red shades. I've also been inspired to dabble in some creativity, by Mac's endless options and by Your Beauty Mark by Dita Von Teese. She suggests experimenting with glamour, so that you can truly perfect the persona & looks you want to achieve ... day or night.
MAC offers hundreds of colors & textures, including: gloss, matte, stain, glitter, metallic and more. Creating my vintage inspired looks has never been so much fun! I'll be delving more into the world of color & texture through my MAC beauty posts, but I wanted to kick off this campaign with classic 1950's inspiration, and timeless red. "Mac Red" is a bright bluish red, and hints at a pinkish hue. It's texture is satin, and I was amazed at how moist it feels while still delivering high impact color. I feel that I tend to like warm-toned reds, but this shade has me reconsidering - I love it!
All makeup products for this look are linked below!

Fuchstal Coat of Arms
It is a white-blue vertical bicolour. The coat of arms is shifted to the top.
Shield parted per pale, at dexter Azure a bend wavy Argent, at sinister Or an ash leaf Vert, base Argent charged with an oar Gules issuant from dexter.
On 1 July 1972 Leeder Market Town merged with the municipalities of Asch and Seestall. They formed the new municipality of Fuchstal. The tinctures blue and gold (yellow) are taken from the Swabian branch of the Lords of Freyberg, who owned estates in Asch and Leeder in the Late Medieval. The bend wavy is representing Leeder and is taken from its municipal arms, approved in 1957. It is a canting element, as the name is derived from "-lede", an artificial water course, probably alluding to Schmidbach, a local creek. The ash is representing Asch and also canting and taken from the municipal arms of Asch, approved in 1951. The oar is representing Seestall, which had been a village of fishermen. The oar is alluding to its other important business line, rafting of timber. The tinctures blue and silver (white) are those of the Rehlingen kin, local rulers of Leeder in the 16th century.

"She woke up in the night and lay in bed wondering why she had woken. Looked around and saw reflection on the floor, of a light or the moon, don't know what. Was really puzzled - had the mirror fallen on the floor somehow? Just could not think what it was, so put her legs over the side of the bed, to get out and look. Straight into cold water, just inches below her bedclothes. A shock! ... I was very intrigued to think she had been rowed down the garden path instead of walking down it!
