World Bank president addresses global youth forum on genocide
Rwandan Genocide
The president of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, has addressed a global youth forum on genocide in Kigali, Rwanda, today, as part of a visit to four African countries this week.
Speaking on genocide, he said: "people say 'never again' too easily, It's happening today in Sudan. We all share responsibility to actually do things. The conditions of preventing genocide lie partly in helping people to have a better life. It's easier to incite people that have nothing to lose."
Asked why the international community ignored past genocide, Wolfowitz said: "There are many explanations but no excuses. We have to work with countries that are working to prevent conflict."
He said he would work together with African countries to cut poverty, citing Tony Blair's phrase of a 'deal for a deal': "So many governments here are stepping up to take responsibility.". He added that World Bank assistance to service debt repayments could now go towards meeting needs, following the cancellations of the debts of the 18 poorest countries agreed by G8 countries last week.
The forum organised by Never Again, which began at the Kigali Institute for Science and Technology today, has participants from Rwanda, the Congo, Burundi, the United States and Canada.
The forum continues today and includes discussions on the future of the Great Lakes region and the international community's responsibility to protect against genocide.

How Long Does It Take You To Adjust Your Clocks in Maine & NB?
How Long Does It Take You To Adjust Your Clocks?
In Maine & New Brunswick, we're very aware of how we tell time - always conscious of Eastern and Atlantic zones. Now that we're in daylight savings time, how long does it take you to adjust your clocks?
Your smart electronics automatically switch, but there are a clocks, watches and timepieces you have to do on our own. How many do you have, do you have a system, or do you do it when you think about it?
Your Watch - The watch can be complicated if you don't know the right sequence to push the buttons or which one you have to hold down until it blinks. You have to get around military time, find the date, am & pm, and if you go past the number you have to cycle through again.
The Microwave - It can be easy or hard depending on how it's set up – true for all appliances and gadgets. But, maybe you don't worry about the microwave or some things because they never have the right time showing.
Car Clock - Some systems are easy. If you have a smart vehicle, then it changes for you like your cell phone.If it doesn't work, then you know what they say about a broken clock.
Take our poll above and share it with your friends. We're all in this together.
Next: (POLL) Is It Time To Do Away With Daylight Saving Time In Maine And Western New Brunswick?

Above bove the Assur appears the date, in ancient Hebrew letters taken from the coinage of the First Rebellion (65-70 CE); "Shin Samech Gimel" standing for "Shanah Samech Gimel" (63rd Year). As we have no custom of dating our coinage by foreign calenders, nor even from Creation, we took the example of our predecessors and dated our ceremonial coin from the Liberation of the Land of Israel. This year's coin, minted to be given on Purim of 2011, will open the 63rd Year celebrations of the State of Israel.
Below the Assur appear the words "Lo Heilech Chuki" (Not Legal Tender), to satisfy the needs of the Bank of Israel Law that we are not producing a currency substitute.

Tomorrow is the first of three nights, in which, Spoon will be performing at Stubb's. Each note has two different opening bands, one local, one touring. Thursday Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears will be representing the local opener and Quasi will be the touring act. Friday it's Dale Watson followed by Low. The third, and final show, on Saturday will feature the Strange Boys and Atlas Sound.
Free Low Mp3's courtesy of SubPop Records, thanks.
I love Spoon, don't get me wrong but I'm quite sure those shows are sold-out and this is Austin, which means Spoon ain't the only dog and pony show in town. For my money, I would love to catch Deer Tick at Emo's. They are probably the best thing to come out of Rhode Island since...since, whatever great thing has come from RI in the past? I don't know. I do know at the time of my writing this that you can still get yourself a ticket to hear Deer Tick in person. I love the singer's weathered, belching voice and hey, they even have a jug-band style song. Gotta love that right?
If, you're a real Austin snob and you don't watch touring acts let's hang out and form a club. Maybe we could talk about it before and/or after Balmorhea performs at the Cactus Cafe tomorrow it's an early show (8:30) so maybe we can head over to Deer Tick after. Mmm kay?
In a totally un-related note, have y'all heard anything from the new the Gossip record? It's produced by Rick Rubin, which I'm sure was great for the band but as a fan I'm not really sure how to put my finger on his "signature sound" to know in what ways he has influenced this new album. I do know that the first single is vicious, I love it and it pains me to post this video since it's sourced for blogger P. Hilton's YouTube channel :-(. Oh well, I guess the Gossip DOES appeal to mall-rats/tweens/vacant souls/etc.
I wonder how the Gossip and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs feel about each other? Are the competitors? Peers? Suckling from the same musical teets? I vote totally self-involved and unaware that there are other bands also making music.

Barbara Walters' Farewell: Her 5 Most Provocative Interviews (Video)
The outgoing broadcast legend was known for talking to everybody — including despots and murderers
James Crugnale | May 16, 2014 @ 9:00 AM	Last Updated: August 4, 2014 @ 9:51 AM
In her 53-year career, Barbara Walters spoke with presidents, pop stars and many other famous figures — and some of them were intense.
As Walters retires, we look back at some of her most passionate and provocative discussions.

1. Ricky Martin
Walters has said her biggest regret was aggressively questioning pop star Ricky Martin about his sexuality.
"In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not, and the way he refused to do it made everyone decide that he was," she told the Toronto Star. "A lot of people say that destroyed his career, and when I think back on it now I feel it was an inappropriate question."

2. Mark David Chapman
In a 1992 prison interview, Walters interviewed John Lennon's assassin. Some Beatles fans and TV critics felt she was exploiting Lennon's memory and giving the spotlight to a murderer.

3. Mike Tyson and Robin Givens
Walters asked Robin Givens about her then-husband's alleged domestic violence — as he sat there. Years later on "The View," Tyson told Walters he felt "shanghaied in the moment" and "bushwacked" by the interview.
4. Bashar Assad
Walters held the Syrian leader's feet to the fire about his treatment of political dissidents in a 2012 interview. She later acknowledged a conflict of interest, because she helped the daughter of Syria's U.N. ambassador by trying to get her an internship or college admission.
"In retrospect, I realize that this created a conflict and I regret that," Walters said.
5. Monica Lewinsky
Lewinsky broke her silence about her affair with President Clinton on "20/20" in March 1999. She said she still had emotions for Clinton, which shocked audiences. It was a ratings bonanza.

Q: Valores estão sendo enviados nullos Por alguma razão os arrays estão sendo enviados nulos em setListGrades, porém dentro do log mostra os arrays normais. A API está sendo consumida corretamente, então porque está nulo no envio deste método?
                    @Override
                    public void onNext(GradeModel grades) {

                        BigDecimal[] gradesList = new BigDecimal[grades.getReportLists().length];
                        Integer[] faultsList = new Integer[grades.getReportLists().length];
                        String[] classesList = new String[grades.getReportLists().length];

                        for (int i = 0; i < grades.getReportLists().length; i++) {
                            gradesList[i] = grades.getReportLists()[i].getGradesList();
                            faultsList[i] = grades.getReportLists()[i].getFaultList();
                            classesList[i] = grades.getReportLists()[i].getClassList();
                        }
                        Log.i(TAG, "caralhoooooo " + Arrays.asList(classesList) + Arrays.asList(gradesList) + Arrays.asList(faultsList));
                        mainPresenter.setListGrades(gradesList, faultsList, classesList);

                    }
                });

A: Talves se voce fizesse como abaixo, resolveria:
List<BigDecimal> gradesList = new ArrayList<BigDecimal>();
List<Integer> faultsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
List<String> classesList = new ArrayList<String>();

for (int i = 0; i < grades.getReportLists().length; i++) {
    gradesList.add(grades.getReportLists()[i].getGradesList());
    faultsList.add(grades.getReportLists()[i].getFaultList());
    classesList.add(grades.getReportLists()[i].getClassList());
 }
Log.i(TAG, "caralhoooooo " + Arrays.asList(classesList) + Arrays.asList(gradesList) + Arrays.asList(faultsList));
 mainPresenter.setListGrades(gradesList, faultsList, classesList);

ou possivelmente
mainPresenter.setListGrades(gradesList.toArray(), faultsList.toArray(), classesList.toArray());

se der algum problema avisa que a gente tenta resolver de outra forma

Twelve things we really need from Washington and a trillion that we don't!


Julie Lumgair is an exceptional winemaker and consultant located in Napa Valley and Sonoma County. We talked with her about how her family's history in farming connected her to her current career in wine, her process for creating wine portfolios for her clients, and the best skills to have to excel as a Sommelier.
Have you always been interested in wine?
Absolutely! I grew up a fifth-generation farmer in a dry county in East Tennessee but my family encouraged global travel and an appreciation of international cultures and history. Historically, great winemaking was built on deep farming knowledge and diligent practices. That really connected my past experiences and future dreams.
What was the first moment you knew you wanted to pursue a career in the wine industry?
My college mentor was a collector of European and early Oregon / California wines who taught fine wine appreciation classes. I helped with his classes and was hooked! It inspired me to start collecting a global cellar in my 20's. Multiple experiences I had while collecting spurred me to take the next step professionally in my 30's and make winemaking my second career. Years later, I helped my mentor auction his collection at Bonham's & Butterfields.
What advice would you give to someone interested in learning more about / trying more wine but doesn't know where to start?
Three things really helped me get started. First, comparatively taste multiple wines with a common thread, especially with a wine educator, in better wine shops, group wine events, or visiting key regions. Second, reading more about regions, varietals, etc. you enjoy. Third, learning how to taste (the real sensory science) and keeping notes. Also, believe in your own palate then try to understand it in context.
p.s. Don't underestimate the importance of spitting when tasting so your palate and sensory memory are sharp.
What is your process when it comes to consulting for different wineries and helping them to create a wine portfolio?
My consulting winemaking process in Napa Valley and Sonoma County is tailored to help owners achieve their individual style and process goals in luxury and ultra-premium tiers, with a strong direct to consumer (DTC) and higher tier on premise portfolio.
Authenticity is key for this tier. I roll up my sleeves and invest years in each vintage we finally bottle, field to table. That hands-on work connects me to the unique vineyard sources, the wine styles I'm working to express each vintage and the specific details and winemaking decisions made in the vineyard and cellar.
Depending on each client's scope, it can cover lots of things. Vineyard sourcing, grape growing, cellar production, marketing support, market visits, VIP cellar appointments, industry association representation and more. Sharing each portfolio with wine lovers and trade when they taste deeply connects us. Luxury buyers value access, details and artisanal skill.
challenge each time satisfying clients' goals for their wine.
In addition to consulting, you also make your own wine. What is the most rewarding part of making your own wine?
Both consulting and making my own wines are very rewarding. I take the same approach and care with both. I also freely share my connections with my current winery clients. It's a virtuous circle. The only difference is the last level of absolute creative winemaking freedom to change a portfolio based on what the vintage provides in the field.
What is something you wish more people knew about your job?
Over the course of your career, what is the most important lesson you've learned or piece of advice you've been given?
Growing up in a family business in a small town, I learned reputation is everything and your handshake is your word. That and the Golden Rule never go out of style. As a young wine collector, I learned that some wineries may take your business for granted or not pay attention too well. Feeling that way as a wine buyer deeply influenced my passion for personal VIP experiences and building lasting customer relationships once I was on the other side of the conversation.

Women at the Peace Table: They Made a Difference
Posted on April 24, 2014 by PeaceWomen Across the Globe
On 27 of March 2014, the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro was signed by the Philippine Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Women Peace Mediators were among the driving
forces of this successful peace process. Several of them belong to the 1000 PeaceWomen who have been nominated for the Peace Nobel Prize in 2005. Last April 8, a Women's Forum was held in Quezon City, Philippines in order to visualize and celebrate the difference women made at the peace table.
"Peace doesn't recognize religion, culture. It is a human's basic need," said Undersecretary Yasmin Busrao Lao. The inclusion of women in Track 1 (government level) paved the way for changes in the dynamics of the peace process. It shook off the formality of the process by making it more personal while concentrating on the significant and "hardcore" issues that needed to be agreed and settled.
Undersecretary Lao also shared that at one point, Peace Panel Chair Miriam Coronel-Ferrer used "informal ways" in sending messages to her such as "kicking her foot"' under the table. Director Iona Gracia Jalijali also mentioned that at first the men were not comfortable in hugging members of the panel yet when the final annex was signed they were already comfortable in hugging each other in expressing their happiness.
"(This process proved that) Women Mediators would be able to rely on the sisterhood of each other," Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Secretary Teresita Quintos-Deles said during the Women's Forum.
The participation of women, especially having a woman Peace Panel Chair, also created a paradigm shift by eliminating bias the men had against the women. Prof. Coronel-Ferrer mentioned there was discrimination in the beginning especially during the discussion of hard issues like power sharing.
When asked what kept them going, Undersecretary Zenonida Brosas said"we don't want to go home as a failure."

Brooks Named AFC Defensive Player of Week
Randy Lange
NYJets.com Contributor
Updated, 10:30 a.m. ET
Almost a month ago, safety Terrence Brooks was thanking his lucky stars he'd been traded to the Jets.
"I was happy that a team wanted me to be here and contribute," he told me after the final preseason game against his former team, the Eagles. "That's the thing. It doesn't matter to me where I go. I just want to play football, go out there and prove to myself I can do it."
During his official MetLife Stadium debut as a Jet during the home-opening win over the Dolphins on Sunday, Brooks showed a lot of folks besides himself what he can do.
"It's sweet, man," said Brooks, who was named by the NFL today as the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. "Every time I've played here, I feel like I've had a good game."
Brooks' game was a little more than good as he optimized his 31 defensive snaps and 19 special teams plays. He had the Jets' first two-interception game since Marcus Williams back in 2015 and their first game with three pass defenses since that season as well.
He started with an assisted tackle on the Jets' first punt of the day, helping to produce a 48-yard net punt for Lachlan Edwards.
Then in the second half, Brooks turned it loose, contributing to the Jets' two best starting field positions of the day, both of which produced scores. On Miami's first series, he batted away a third-down pass from Jay Cutler to Jarvis Landry that led to the Jets' 49-yard march to Bilal Powell's 1-yard TD run.
The next series, he blitzed and got a third-down hit on a Cutler incompletion. Then Miami coach Adam Gase, trying to get something going offensively, called for a fake punt and pass by rookie punter Matt Haack from the Dolphins 28. The Jets were all over it, basically double-covering WR Leonte Carroo, with Brooks grabbing the pass before going out of bounds, again at the 'Fins 49, to start the final field goal drive.
"Coach [Brant] Boyer is a hell of a special teams coach," Brooks said. "He had us prepared for that. As soon as we saw it, we recognized it."
The second pick came against Cutler, again throwing for Landry, from the Jets 29 with 4½ minutes left.
"I was just playing ball, keeping my eyes on the quarterback," he said. "It was a great game plan by our coaches and it worked out for us."

What's also worked out is the flurry of free agent acquisitions by GM Mike Maccagnan's front office, with Brooks being one of the recent veteran arrivals.
"Those guys are good football players," head coach Todd Bowles said Monday. "It's just a matter of getting used to them and them getting used to the systems, fitting in and trying to tweak things to see some of the things they can do.
"Obviously, Brooks played well and [Jermaine] Kearse has been playing well and [Jeremy] Kerley and [Kony] Ealy chipped in. I think they have to get acclimated to what we're used to doing, we have to get acclimated to what they're used to doing as well, and just keeping blending going forward."
Brooks, Baltimore's third-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Florida State, came to the Ravens with a few shiny trophies from FSU — as a senior he was named All-America first team and All-ACC first team. But he had yet to win any NFL awards until today.
He's the Jets' first Player of the Week honoree this season and only the second in the last two seasons. He's the Jets' first player to win the Defensive POW since CB Darrelle Revis after Week 2 of the 2015 season and the Jets' first safety to win it since Jaiquawn Jarrett after the 2014 Week 10 win over Pittsburgh.

Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee TEAM TTO THRIVE
FLOW and Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) Agreement Signing
TEAM TTO THRIVE
Previous Article Elite athletes in T&T face financial hardships
Speaking Notes – Brian Collins, managing director, Columbus Communications Trinidad Limited
Good morning everyone. Well it has certainly been a productive and thrilling 2015 thus far for Flow. The merger, with Cable and Wireless, which was announced in 2014 but became final early this year.
Today however, we are speaking strictly about sports and I am delighted to share with you some of the details about our new partnership between the TTOC and Flow
Just as a reminder, our parent company C&W Communications in April signed as the official broadcast sponsor – and the exclusive telecom partner – of the 2016 Rio Olympics in the Pan-Caribbean region.. C&W Communications as the broadcast sponsor is historical and important simply because it revolutionises the experience of watching the Olympics for any sports enthusiast, any patriot within the Caribbean region. For Rio 2016 any Caribbean fan will have access to a unique variety of live video feeds, offered across a number of media platforms, including radio, ESPNS's live television coverage, video on demand, as well as mobile and Internet streams – all of which can be accessed from your preferred device at no
additional cost to you. From historical features to contemporary stories, you will have more than 12 hours each day of extra Olympic programming much of which will focus on our local and regional athletes, because we want to showcase material that is relevant to you and we want you to watch your heroes in real time – and not just on the highlight reel.
It's your Olympics, as you like it.
But that is about watching the Olympics in 2016.
Back in April while that announcement was made we were already having a conversation with Brian Lewis about deepening Flow's support for the work of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee. These talks began just about 8 months ago, around the time Brian launched the 10 golds by 2024 program, via his participation in the National Marathon. We made our initial contribution to the programme, but we felt we could do more. We loved the idea of supporting the athletes' development and helping them prepare directly to participate in the Olympics. Brian shared his vision for athletes that are supported by the TTOC; and how the 10 golds by 2024 would do for the athletes and it resonated with us.
As a Corporate supporter of development of any community/country in which we do business, we examine our involvement from three perspectives – who are we supporting/how is it helping/and what will success look like for the stakeholder. The 10 golds by 2024 helps you see that clearly. We're helping our Trinidad and Tobago athletes prepare for the Olympic Games and the end result is improved performances and medals by our athletes. Contributing to the success of these individuals, who are so passionate about what they do, and who are so intent on doing
well for themselves, for the love of their sport and for their country, well, helping them is really a no brainer.
So here we are. This agreement which we've signed onto for five years solidifies our support for Rio 2016 and 2020 which will be in Tokyo. The financial contribution that we have provided today will go directly to 10 Golds for 2024 Athlete Preparation and Welfare Fund which means it will directly impact the athletes who are right now prepping for next year. As a result of supporting this initiative we are supporting not just one sport, but all the athletes who are in line to be in Rio next year. Also as a result of this agreement we are happy to be the official telecommunications partner of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee joining a committed group of partners who share this vision of success.
I want to take this moment to thank Brian, whose commitment to sport and athletic development of Trinidad and Tobago is unparalleled. Ever so often he posts on Twitter under the hashtag #acceptnolimits and I believe he truly doesn't. He is a great advocate for athletes and for the development of sport in Trinidad and Tobago. We at Flow are truly excited about this partnership and supporting the Trinbagonian passion for sport and its athletes.
Last night I had the extreme pleasure of speaking at the Opening Night of the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival which is celebrating 10 years and the Opening Film was about the journey of Michel Martelly to President of Haiti. This story was inspired, supported and produced by Praz Michel of the Fugees who was there last night and he said something that resonated with me. He said, he was an American, but he lived and breathed Haiti, he
said Haiti was his lifeblood, his background, his heart. Words like that, said with the passion in which he said it, they are powerful. I think it's the same way for Trinidadians and Tobagonians – and by supporting your excellence in sport, Flow is demonstrating its support for your lifeblood, your background and your heart.
At Flow we pledge commitment to our partners, to our customers and to the communities in which we work as we continue to seek ways to amplify the message that we are a provider that is passionate about development in the region in which we serve. Our business may be technology but we pledge our allegiance to the development of Trinidad and Tobago, through technology, sport, education, in the arts and culture and of the individual as well.
Sports are such an important and defining part of any culture, especially those as rich as the ones found here in the Caribbean. We are so proud to have this opportunity to bring a more enhanced Olympic experience to our region, but in a more meaningful way locally, right here to the athletes of Trinidad and Tobago
It truly is a privilege to be a part of this partnership with TTOC and the wider Olympic Family which started months ago. The journey to those 10 golds for 2024 is truly underway. Join us as we showcase the skills and talents of Trinidad and Tobago and the rest of the Caribbean.


For wonkish types only: I've been using the employment-population ratio rather than the unemployment rate as an indicator of labor market conditions; the unemployment rate has been fairly low, roughly late-90s levels, but employment-population has never regained its late-90s peak.
The EP ratio seems to track public sentiment pretty well. Going by the unemployment rate, people should have felt as good about the economy in 2007 as they did in 1998-1999. Some people blame the liberal media; I think people were reacting to the reality of the situation.
Could you take a moment to explain how the two measures are calculated?
Why not do a regression and/or correlation of the data to give it greater credibility than a chart which shows similar lines?
I am glad to see someone using the e/p ratio rather than simple unemployment, which, among other things completely masks the "discouraged worker" that is so discouraged they have totally given up. I have long thought this would be a far better metric of the performance of the economy.
However, from your graph, it appears that consumer confidence *leads* e/p, both up and down, in all but a few instances. Does this mean anything?
If you are saying e-p is a better measure than unemployment, it would help if you added unemployment to the chart.
Isn't it true that a good part of the increase in corporate profits over the last decade is due to a decline in interest rates and not CEO entrepreneurial brilliance.
The disproportional increase in CEO salaries relative to worker salaries during this period was thus due to governmental actions not corporate activities.
Also, as we have seen in the banking industry losses, the CEOs there locked onto a stupid business model that worked long enough to bring them big bonuses. When the model failed recently, the fired CEOs have been "punished" with enormous severence pay packages.
The EP ratio seems to track public sentiment pretty well?? I'd say the two correlate darn well. Any statistician-type out there care to calculate the r-squared?
I think we all know by now that the unemployment rate badly undercounts the actual number of people who are out of work who want to work. My sister was a well-paid IT professional until she was laid off over three years ago. Her unemployment has long since run out She has pieced together a living from substitute teaching, tutoring, and other small jobs, but it's apparent that those IT jobs are never coming back, just as the high-paying automotive industry jobs are not coming back to Detroit.
I have no political ax to grind on this one, only major surprise. The E-P ratio apparently falls structurally by something like two points, and confidence goes down 40 points ? This is, by far, the largest apparent elasticity seen anywhere. It looks, though, as if both series experienced the major part of their fall during one single time period, which suspiciously looks in or around September 2001. Might one suggest, then, the possibility that one series does not cause the other, but that both might be caused by some other factors. You quote the reality of the situation, which is always a safe quote. Losing one's internet job _ a temporary blow to confidence and employment -and then, suddenly, getting bombed and discovering oneself at war – a permanent blow to confidence – look like good candidates to me: most of the time, armies go to war singing and wearing nice uniforms and come back in rags. It certainly worked like that in Vietnam, the war that, it goes without saying, the US would have won if it hadn't lost it.
Maybe I'm not wonkish enough to understand completely. When you say e-p ratio (represented on the right) is that our employed population, as a percentage? If so, it sure doesn't take much of a percentage point to make a difference (1 % being 3,000,000).
Greenspan-era CPI as an prime example of how to lie with economic statistics.
Thank you for this. I have been saying for several years that, due to the discouraged job seekers who have dropped out, the "unemployment" numbers are very skewed. Especially here in Oregon, the only good count is the employment to population! I really appreciate your continuing to bring this into a public forum.
The employment-population ratio has a distinct advantage as an economic indicator over the unemployment rate (defined as the percentage of those in the labor force who don't have jobs): it's not distorted, as the latter is, by the number of discouraged workers leaving the labor force – a phenomenon likely to be more prevalent in recessionary times.
I greatly appreciate your debunking many Republican talking points and point out that the Clinton years were good years economically. I don't think, however, that Bill Clinton should get all the credit. Much of the credit should go to the introduction of new technology. Those were the years when companies introduced computers and linked up to the Internet. The economy would have done well no matter who was the president.
I guess I'm a wonk because this kind of information seems te most enlightening to me. But my question is: who actually believes unemployment figures? Clearly the data gathering has been so compromised by the political process that they are close to meaningless. After all, they count a mcJob as equivalent to a CEO job, and they count those people who can't get mcJobs as not part of the work force.
I am much more interested in an income distribution histogram (you've mentioned this kind of measure frequently) While it's not a single number which undoubtedly appeals to simple minds, it's a measure that shows us where the money truly is.
Because the un-employment rate only tracks those looking for work for 26 weeks how is it that it continues to be used as an indicator of employment? I know and have met many, many college educated workers who once losing or leaving their job, can't find a suitable replacement. In fact, from my experience, if one is over 45 and becomes un-employed they have less than a 50-50 chance of replacing it at a comparable salary–if at all. While I don't have statistics to prove it, I believe this began some time in 2003 and continues to this day. This can't bode well for out economy either.
In addition, I think this situation will motivate many 'boomers to take early Social Security putting further pressure on the economy.
Well, I'm not sure why you think this is for wonkish types only. I believe the average citizen actually thinks that the EP ratio is how the unemployment rate is derived and would be surprised to learn the the ways the unemployment rate has been massaged to meet political rather than economic goals.
It seems to me government would be more honest if it used the EP ratio instead. I for one would love to hear the major candidates debate what the EP ratio target should be and why.
In Clinton's last year in office I worked as consultant as a data base analyst making nearly six figures (plus a large per diem for traveling).
I took that money and an enormous risk, and went to graduate school to position myself for a new career. I graduated and but was unable to find a job in my new field.
I tried to bounce back to my old field but couldn't find a job.
The leading IS consuming workplaces in my home town were MasterCard and Citibank. I had old friends and colleagues working in these places that said nearly half the workers were either Indian, Chinese or Russian. I tried to get a job in my old field but companies wouldn't look at me. Obviously this outsourcing (or in-sourcing depending upon how you define it) didn't just reduce my bargaining power, it squeezed me out with out even giving me a chance to bid against the people they brought in from overseas. Those people still cost Mastercard and Citibank $30 to $40 dollars an hour but I wasn't even given the opportunity to bid against that.
(At one point a friend of mine said that the CIO of Citibank was bragging that their average cost would be $25 an hour but that never materialized – even the Asian head hunters need to make money and they have higher costs even if they are paying lower wages). I winced every time I read where George Bush had signed an executive order to increase the number of H1B visas and destroying my hope of a decent life.
For a while, I managed to get unemployment and together with my immense credit from earlier times, managed to survive. But that came to an end. Finally I took a job in east Asia teaching English at one fifth the income I once made. And there's the oddity: Asian's coming to America to take my job at half at what I once made, while I go to Asia to teach English at one fifth of what I once made.
I live a subsistence existence, where nearly all my pay goes to servicing my debt to the Credit Card companies. Those H1B visas were designed to help corporate profits at the direct disadvantage of Americans like myself.
As a fellow American, George Bush might just as well have stuck a knife in my back. He obviously did so with delight. In fact I have lived at a subsistence level ever since he became President. I didn't vote in the 2000 election, I was too busy traveling for work then, and and though raised a Republican, I hadn't voted Republican in years, but one thing is for sure, I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican again in my life. For me this decade has been the great depression.
Meanwhile, if I end up having to declare bankruptcy to ease my financial burden (it was designed for a higher income than I now have) I will have no guilty conscience of leaving the credit card companies in the lurch as they were the ones who directly undermined my ability to make a decent living.
Thanks for all your work bringing issues out like this.
What accounts for the difference in the EP ratio and the UE ratio (in terms of what they account for)? Why are they not mirror images?
If you dont mind, please add legends to your graphs.
You really need to show both graphs if you want to make the point you are making. Or better yet give us some numbers on the correlations.
This is extremely interesting and I am embarrased to say I have never seen it before. I usually dismiss the employment population ratio as being driven by non-market forces like demographics.
This implies that it at least deserves a second look.
For a long time (i.e. from some time in the 1980s) it has seemed to this non economist that the unemployment rate has been a highly misleading number. I don't really understand why it is used at all since it doesn't count people whose unemployment benefits have run out and/or the "long term" unemployed who have given up.
This is interesting. I've always thought the unemployment numbers ring hollow. They don't take into account those people who have given up looking for work. It also doesn't take into account those who had good jobs and have been reduced to working at Starbucks part-time to get health insurance.
Whew. Cool numbers dude. And Spearman's R is what, 0.8, 0.9?
Good insight. Let the "other" media wonks call it what they will.
the best solutions to the problems the country faces. However, he is off base criticizing Obama for his remarks on Reagan. Yes, there is the continuing effort to propagate the Reagan myth, but accept Obama's clarifications. My father couldn't understand how any working man could vote for Reagan, but they did. Reagan was able to convince a clear majority of the country to support his point of view. He created more lasting damage that still has not been undone. He turned the country against government, that it was the problem and never tthe solution, similarly against unions, against regulating the marketplace, etc.
Obama sees we need that kind of leadership to turn it around, to get thee country behind a progressive agenda. So, Paul, don't be so literal here. He's the only one who has the potential to rally the country to his way of thinking, which is what Reagan did. No matter how much you like Hillary's plans, she doesn't rally well.
Very interesting. Is it worthwhile to revisit the chart below (where the Reagan boom is called a "one hit wonder", and using this EP ratio instead of the unemployment figures?


Nothing can compete with the influence of exhibition shows when it comes to pulling in new customers. Booking a slot in an exhibition is a great opportunity to bring sales, raise brand awareness and gain new clients. But to effectively utilize these opportunities requires careful planning and a strong sales team. A strong leadership and clear goals are needed for your exhibition stand to be a success. Below you'll find some tips to ensure that your sales force is ready to pull off a successful exhibition.
The best time to start planning is at least three months before the exhibition. This gives you plenty of time to brainstorm ideas and prepare with your team and decide the types of exhibition stand which will suit your brand. Simple actions such as marking your company calendar with the exhibition dates and setting up goals that you plan on finishing before the exhibition go a long way.
You'll need to be even more careful if you've decided to attend multiple exhibitions in the future. Not only do you have to allocate time to plan for each of them, you would also need to decide on suitable stand types for each event.
One way to save time is to select a suitable exhibition stand design company to handle it for you. This allows you to avoid hassle of designing your own stand exhibition for each show, which is time-consuming and complex. These designers will also help you choose the correct exhibition stands for each of your show in a timely manner.
In any sports team, the job of a coach is to know the strengths and weaknesses of each player. Then formulate a strategy to win utilising their strengths, giving each player a specific goal. Just like in sports you need to lead your team to help them meet their goals and lead them to victory.
Set goals for your sales team before the exhibition. Ensure that they gain enough practice and knowledge to not only engage your target group flawlessly but also improvise and go off script if needed. You need ensure that your team is ready to meet their targets and not just engage in light conversation with the crowd.
Check up on your sales team throughout the day to see their progress. You can also gather them at regular intervals to check on their progress and motivate them to achieve their goals. Offer a reward for salesperson who can exceed their targets is a great incentive. This will encourage them to perform better.
Even after the exhibition is over, your team will still require your leadership. Since you and your team are not done yet. You need to sit with your team and formulate plans on how to sort the leads they've collected and contact them. It's critical to execute this phase in a timely manner, since other competitors would most likely be approaching the same leads that your team has gathered.
Success at an exhibition depends on the guidance you can provide to your sales team. Formulate a plan give your team plenty of time to practice and make sure you appreciate their hard work after the exhibition.

Broadcaster Vere Walcott has died
ANTOINETTE CONNELL, [email protected]
A familiar voice from the airwaves of the 1980s and 1990s has gone silent.
Broadcaster Vere Walcott died today.
Walcott, of Mangrove Park, St Philip worked at both the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation and the Starcom Network and became particularly known for his business reports. He was also the very popular Charlie Bravo delivering early morning traffic reports from a helicopter.
His son Sheldon Walcott remembered his father as someone who was always there for him and his sister Veria, hardworking and goal-driven.
"He was always willing to help others," Sheldon said.
Manager of news with Starcom Stetson Babb remembered his former colleague as a journalist with great skills who worked across a number of areas from broadcasting, announcing to news reporting.
"I worked with Vere at both CBC and Starcom Network and he was a veteran journalist of great skill. A great gentleman and a great person and in latter years he was deeply into his faith and religious principle," he said.
Former director of news and current affairs at CBC Michelle Arthur, who worked alongside Walcott as a reporter and on the morning traffic beat, recalled that he had a keen sense of business news and was well respected in the field.
Along with the Bravo Charlie traffic report Walcott also developed a segment of news called "That Bugs Me, a satirical piece addressing issues or situations that many frowned upon but did not openly address.
"He never had an unkind thing to say about anyone, always pointing out the best in people," Arthur said. (AC)

Chapter: Plant Biology : The plant cell
Structure of the plant cell
The plant cell has a cell wall and plasma membrane enclosing the cytoplasm. Organelles, bounded by membranes, occur within the cytoplasm and are supported and moved by the cytoskeleton. The nucleus contains DNA and nucleoli. Many plant cells have a large vacuole.
Cell membranes
The endomembrane system of the cell is involved in synthesis and transport. The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is divided into perinuclear ER and cortical ER, and may be smooth or rough (coated with ribosomes). Material from the ER is modified and sorted in the Golgi apparatus (GA) from which it
travels in vesicles to the plasma membrane or the vacuole.
Organelles of metabolism
Mitochondria generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from stored food reserves. Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis. Microbodies include peroxisomes containing catalase and glyoxysomes containing enzymes of
lipid biosynthesis.
The cell wall
The cell wall is a dynamic, metabolic structure made up predominantly of carbohydrate. Adjoining cells are inter-connected by plasmodesmata, in which membranes bridge the wall. Everything within the plasma membrane is the symplast; outside it is the apoplast, which is a waterpermeated space, in which hydrophilic molecules are dissolved.
Plant cells show a wide range of shapes and internal structures, depending on their function. Figure 1 illustrates the key features of a typical plant cell. Other cells, such as reproductive cells and conducting cells may be very different in appearance. It consists of a cell wall in close contact with aplasma membrane surrounding the cytoplasm, which is made up of aqueous fluid cytosol and many organelles. These organelles are supported and moved by a meshwork of fine protein filaments, the cytoskeleton, which includes microtubules made up of the protein tubulin and microfibrilsmade up of the protein actin. The nucleus contains genetic information in chromosomes and nucleoli that contain machinery for the production ofribosomes.
In most plant cells, there is a vacuole that may occupy up to 90% of the cell volume, surrounded by a membrane, the tonoplast. It contains solutes dissolved in water. It is important in storage and osmotic regulation .
The cell contains a system of membranes termed the endomembrane system involved in the synthesis and transport of materials. The nucleus is bounded bytwo membranes, the inner and outer nuclear envelope, with nuclear pores topermit traffic of material. The outer nuclear envelope may be joined to amembrane system, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which may be smooth (siteof lipid synthesis) or rough (coated with ribosomes; site of protein synthesis). Inplant cells, the ER is often divided into perinuclear ER (ER around the nucleus)and cortical ER (ER at the cell periphery). Material from the ER is trafficked tothe Golgi apparatus (GA), a series of stacked membrane compartments(cisternae) in which modifications are carried out by enzymes. Material leavingthe GA travels in vesicles to its destination, either the plasma membrane or the tonoplast(vacuolar membrane).
Plant cells have two major organelles of energy metabolism, one, the chloroplast, not being found in animal cells. Mitochondria (Topic B3) are bounded by a double membrane and generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from stored food reserves (carbohydrate, lipid; Topic J4). Chloroplasts(Topic B3) belong to a group of organelles known as plastids. Chloroplasts photosynthesize (Topics J1 and J2), using the energy of sunlight and carbon from carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrate. Amyloplasts are plastids modified to store starch. Plant cells also contain microbodies that are small membrane-bounded organelles. Peroxisomes contain catalase to remove toxic hydrogen peroxide produced in metabolism and glyoxysomescontain some enzymes of lipid biosynthesis.
Surrounding the cell is a cell wall that is a metabolically active and constantly modified structure made up predominantly of structurally strong complex poly-saccharides (Topic B2). Adjoining cells may be inter-connected by plasmodesmata, pores through the wall where plasma membrane and ER connect. Everything within the plasma membrane is termed the symplast; everything outside it is the apoplast, which is a water-permeated space, in which
hydrophilic molecules are present in solution. Cell walls function to adhere adjacent cells together in the formation of tissues and organs.

My daughter is the queen of not eating her veggies. She probably gets it from her daddy though...he HATES vegetables. If it was grown in the dirt, chances are he will not touch it with a ten foot pole.
Anyways, when I wrack my brain about how to get my children to eat veggies, here are ten tips that I can give to you about things I have done.
As I have said, my hubby does not eat his veggies. He is the type of person who thinks candy corn and jelly beans are vegetables. So, when it comes to getting Hannah to eat veggies, I have a battle...mainly because daddy doesn't. I find that if she sees me eating them, she will be more likely to try them herself.
Take some Velveeta cheese or another type of heatable cheese and melt it down. Then, pour either in a puddle or on the veggies themselves. This should encourage a bit more consumption of vegetables because what kid does NOT love cheese???
Have you ever tried grilled vegetables? Put them on skewers with chunks of meat and see what happens! Grilled veggies are amazing. Or, try roasting some in the oven and then sprinkling mozzarella cheese over the top. YUM!
If your child won't eat a certain type of vegetable, try a different one. Did you know that Tomatoes are not veggies but fruits??? Good to know...especially if you have a non-fruit eater in the house who loves tomatoes. Maybe your child just needs a different type of veggie to get their appetite curved towards the green and leafy!
I know, sounds corny. (No pun intended). Silly songs can really help to make undesirable things more desirable.
You know you can make food fun...and this is the perfect time to be creative. Try making faces out of veggies and arranging them on a plate to look like a smiley face.
There are tons of books out there for children that address this problem of kiddos not eating vegetables. So, go to your local library and see if they have any books that make veggie-eating fun!
Well, I know of one veggie that you can hide in chocolate. Ever heard of chocolate zucchini bread? Good stuff! So, you can hide loads of vitamins in zucchini bread by turning it into chocolate zucchini bread!
Kids need time to adjust to a new food. So, don't expect changes immediately. Unless it is a really YUMMY vegetable, just plan on it taking a few days...or weeks.
So, there you have it! My ten suggestions on how to get your child to eat veggies. How about you? Do you have any ideas or things that you have done that have made your child a veggie lover? I would love to hear them!
"I wrote this blog post while participating in the SocialMoms and Peas and Thank You blogging program for a gift card worth $30. For more information on how you can participate, click here."
My husband has tried to convince me that French fries are a vegetable. He cannot stand them. The only one he'll eat is corn.
I think being the example and cooking them differently make the biggest differences! Some veggies I only eat when served a certain way.
Thanks for the tips! My son is so not a veggie eater. The only way he'll eat them is in those veggie puree yogurts and whenever I make meatballs,I'll add minced veggies into the mix so he cant see them. other than that, I always try to serve veggies with his meals even if he doesn't eat them. Hopefully by seeing them everyday he'll one day give in.
I completely agree with #1. My boys loved veggies until they realized their father never ate any! *sigh* Thankfully they eat lots of fruits. Those are great hints for little ones.
But what about feeding them vegetables as babies, when they just begin to eat mashed foods? If they start out on vegetables, they will think they are normal. If you start speaking to them early about vegetables by naming them and having the child repeat you as part of early feeding.
But I still think, start them on vegetables and don't stop. They'll think it's a natural part of life!

US condemns India party official Nupur Sharma's remarks on prophet
photo: twitter.com/NupurSharmaBJP/
The United States has condemned remarks by a suspended BJP official Nupur Sharma about the Prophet Mohammed that have sparked an uproar in many countries.
"We condemn the offensive comments made by two BJP officials, and we were glad to see that the party publicly condemns those comments," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.
"We regularly engage with the Indian government at senior levels on human rights concerns, including freedom of religion or belief, and we encourage India to promote respect for human rights," he said.
Remarks by a former spokeswoman for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who has since been suspended, sparked the uproar. BJP suspended Nupur Sharma after Gulf nations, including Qatar and Saudi Arab, condemned India and demanded action. The party's media chief for Delhi posted a tweet last week about the Prophet that was later deleted.

— Shubham Sharma (@Shubham_fd) June 16, 2022
"I have been attending TV debates for the past many days where our Mahadev was being insulted and disrespected continuously. It was mockingly being said that it is not Shivling but a fountain. The Shivling was also being ridiculed by comparing it to roadside signs and poles in Delhi," Ms Sharma tweeted.
"I could not tolerate this continuous insult and disrespect towards our Mahadev, and I said some things in response to it. If my words have caused discomfort or hurt the religious feelings of anyone whatsoever, I hereby unconditionally withdraw my statement. It was never my intention to hurt anyone's religious feelings," she added.
Sharma's comments set off diplomatic protests in many Muslim countries, including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. In Bangladesh, protesters have demanded a formal condemnation from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a close ally of India, the news agency AFP reported.

Cunningham's textbook of anatomy
De Daniel John Cunningham
spring the fibres of origin of the abductor digiti quinti muscle. On the anterior part of the plantar surface there is an elevated elongated tubercle, which terminates somewhat abruptly just behind the anterior border of this aspect of the bone, giving rise at times to a notch. From the tubercle spring the fibres of the long plantar ligament, whilst the notch serves for the attachment of the deeper fibres of the plantar calcaneo-cuboid ligament. The two heads of origin of the quadratus plantæ muscle arise from the bone on either side of the long plantar ligament.
The medial surface of the calcaneus is crossed obliquely, from above downwards and forwards, by a broad groove of considerable depth; along this pass many of the structures which enter the sole of the foot from the back of the leg. The groove is overhung in front and above by a projecting bracketlike process, called the sustentaculum tali. The plantar surface of the sustentaculum is channelled by a groove in which is lodged the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle; whilst its medial border, to which is attached a part of the deltoid ligament (tibio-calcanean fibres) of the ankle, is overlain by the tendon of the flexor digitorum longus. To the anterior border of the sustentaculum is attached the plantar calcaneo-navicular ligament, and placed on its dorsal surface is the articular facet already referred to (facies articularis media). Posteriorly the medial surface of the bone is limited inferiorly by the projection of the medial process of the tuber calcanei, and above by the medial lipped edge of the tuberosity.

FIG. 260.-THE RIGHT CALCANEUS. C. Seen from the lateral side; D. Seen from the medial side.
The lateral surface, broad behind and narrower in front, is of flattened form. Springing from it, just below the lateral end of the sinus tarsi, is the trochlear process, often indistinctly marked. To this the fibres of the inferior retinaculum of the peroneal tendons are attached; whilst in grooves, above and below it, pass the
tendons of the peronæus brevis and longus muscles respectively. To the upper and posterior part of this surface are attached the fibres of the calcaneo-fibular ligament of the ankle.
The anterior extremity is furnished with a saddle-shaped surface on its anterior aspect for articulation with the cuboid. This facet is concave from above downwards, and slightly convex from side to side; its edges are sharply defined, except medially, and serve for the attachment of ligaments.
The posterior extremity, called the tuber calcanei (tuberosity), forms the projection of the heel. Of oval form and rounded surface, it rests upon the two processes or tubercles inferiorly and is divisible into three areas. Of these the highest is smooth and crescentic, and is covered by a bursa; the intermediate is also fairly smooth, and is defined inferiorly by an irregular line, sometimes a definite ridge,
the edges of which are striated. Into this surface the tendo calcaneus is inserted. The lowest surface is rough and striated, and is confluent below with the medial and lateral processes; this is overlain by the dense layer of tissue which forms the pad of the heel.
Os Naviculare Pedis.
The navicular bone (O.T. scaphoid), of compressed piriform shape, is placed on the medial side of the foot, between the head of the talus posteriorly and the three cuneiform bones anteriorly. The bone derives its name from the oval or boat-shaped hollow on its posterior surface, which rests upon the head of the talus. Its anterior aspect is furnished with a semilunar articular area, which is subdivided by two faint ridges into three wedge-shaped facets for articulation, medio-laterally, with the first, second, and third cuneiform bones. The dorsal surface of the bone, convex from side to side, is rough for the attachment of the ligaments on the dorsal aspect of the foot. On its plantar aspect the bone is irregularly concave; projecting downwards and backwards from its lateral side there is often a prominent spur of bone, the plantar process, to which is attached the plantar calcaneo-navicular ligament. The lateral surface is narrow from before backwards, and rounded from above downwards. In 70 per cent. of cases (Manners Smith) it is provided with a facet which rests upon a corresponding area on the cuboid. Behind this, in rare instances, there is a facet for the calcaneus. The medial surface of the bone projects beyond the general line of the medial border of the foot, so as to form a thick rounded tuberosity (tuberositas ossis navicularis), the position of which can be easily determined in the living. To the medial and plantar surface of this process an extensive portion of the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle is inserted.

FOR FIRST CUNEIFORM
The Cuneiform Bones.
The cuneiform bones, three in number, are placed between the navicular posteriorly and the bases of the first, second, and third metatarsal bones anteriorly, for which reason they are now named the first, second, and third cuneiforms (O.T. internal, middle, and external). More or less wedge-shaped, as their name implies, the first is the largest, whilst the second is the smallest of the group. Combined, they form a compact mass, the posterior surface of which, fairly regular in outline, rests on the anterior surface of the navicular; whilst anteriorly they form a base of support for the medial three metatarsals, the outline of which is irregular, owing to the base of the second metatarsal bone being recessed between the first and third cuneiforms, as it articulates with the anterior surface of the shorter second cuneiform.
The first cuneiform bone, the largest of the three, lies on the medial border of the foot between the base of the metatarsal bone of the great toe anteriorly, and the medial part of the anterior surface of the navicular posteriorly. In form the bone is less characteristically wedge-shaped than its fellows of the same name and differs from them in this respect, that whilst the second and third cuneiforms are so disposed that the bases of their wedges are directed upwards towards the dorsum of the foot, the first cuneiform is so placed that its base is
directed towards the plantar aspect; further, the vertical diameter of the bone is not the same throughout, but is much increased at its anterior or metatarsal end. The

METATARSAL form a convexity from above downwards, which is most pronounced inferiorly, where it is turned round the plantar side of the foot to become continuous with the plantar or inferior aspect, which is rough and irregular. On the anterior part of the medial aspect of the bone there is usually a distinct oval impression, which indicates the surface of insertion of a portion of the tendon of the tibialis anterior muscle. Elsewhere this surface is rough for ligamentous attachments. The lateral surface of the bone, quadrilateral in shape, is directed towards the second cunei

Here the wedge-shaped form of the bone is best displayed. Anteriorly the vertical diameter of the bone is much increased, and the facet for the
base of the metatarsal bone of the great toe is consequently much larger than that for the navicular. This metatarsal facet is usually of semilunar form, but not infrequently is more reniform in shape, and may in some cases display complete separation into two oval portions.
The second cuneiform is of a typical wedge shape, the base of the wedge being II. METATARSAL directed towards the dorsum of the foot; FIG. 266. THE RIGHT shorter than the others, it lies between

Its dorsal surface, which corresponds to the base of the wedge, conforms to the roundness of the instep, and is slightly convex from side to side, affording attachments for the dorsal ligaments. Its plantar aspect is narrow and rough, forming the edge of the wedge; with this the plantar ligaments are connected. The medial surface, quadrilateral in outline, is furnished with an -shaped articular area along its posterior and dorsal borders in correspondence with the similar area on the lateral. side of the first cuneiform.

The posterior surface is provided with a triangular facet slightly concave from above downwards; this rests on the intermediate articular surface on the anterior aspect of the navicular. In front the bone articulates by means of a wedge-shaped facet with the base of the metatarsal bone of the second toe.
SECOND CUNEIFORM
CUBOID IV. METATARSAL
The third cuneiform, intermediate in size between the first and second, is also of a fairly typical wedge shape; though its anteroposterior axis is not straight but bent, so that the anterior end of the bone turns slightly medially. Its dorsal surface, which corresponds to the base of the wedge, is slightly convex from side to side, and provides attachments for the dorsal ligaments. Its inferior or plantar aspect forms a rough blunt edge, and serves for the attachment of the plantar ligaments. Its medial surface, of quadrilateral form, displays two narrow articular strips, placed along its anterior and posterior borders respectively, each somewhat constricted in the middle. The anterior facet articulates with the lateral surface of the base of the second metatarsal bone, the posterior with the lateral surface of the second cuneiform. The rough non-articular surface, which separates the two elongated facets, serves for the attachment of ligaments. The lateral aspect of the bone is characterised by a large circular or oval facet, placed near its posterior border, for articulation with the cuboid; in front of this the anterior border is lipped above by a small semi-oval facet for articulation with the medial side of the base of the fourth metatarsal. The rest of the bone around and between these facets is rough for ligaments. Posteriorly the bone is furnished with a blunt, wedge-shaped facet for articulation with the corresponding area on the anterior surface of the navicular. Below this the surface is narrow and rough for the attachment of ligaments. The anterior surface of the bone articulates with the base of the third metatarsal by an area of triangular shape
FIG. 267.-RIGHT THIRD CUNEIFORM (Medial Side).
FIG. 268.-RIGHT THIRD
Os Cuboideum.
The cuboid lies on the lateral side of the foot, about its middle, articulating with the calcaneus posteriorly and the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones anteriorly. Its dorsal surface, plane in an antero-posterior direction, is slightly rounded from side to side, and provides attachment for ligaments. Its plantar aspect is traversed obliquely from the lateral side medially and forwards by a thick and prominent ridge, the lateral extremity of which, at the point where it is confluent with the lateral surface, forms a prominent tubercle (tuberositas ossis cuboidei), the anterior and lateral surface of which is smooth and facetted to allow of the play of a sesamoid bone which is frequently developed in the tendon of the peronæus longus muscle. Anterior to this ridge there is a groove (sulcus peronæi) in which the tendon of the peronæus longus muscle is lodged as it passes across the plantar surface of the bone. Behind the ridge the bone is rough, and serves for the attachment of the plantar calcaneo-cuboid ligament, the superficial fibres of which pass forwards and are attached to the summit of the ridge. The lateral aspect of the bone is short and rounded, and is formed by the confluence of the dorsal and plantar surfaces: it is more or less notched by the peroneal groove which turns round its plantar edge. The medial surface of the bone is the most extensive; it is easily recognisable on account of the presence of a rounded or oval facet situated near

its middle and close to its dorsal border. This is for articulation with the lateral side of the third cuneiform; anterior and posterior to this the surface is rough for ligaments. Not infrequently, behind the facet for the third cuneiform, there is

a small articular surface for for the navicular, as is the case normally in the gorilla, whilst posteriorly and on the plantar aspect the projecting inferior angle is sometimes provided with a facet on which the head of the talus rests. (Sutton, "Proc. Anat. Soc.," Journ. Anat. and Physiol. vol. xxvi. p. 18.) The anterior surface is oval or conical in outline; sloping obliquely from the medial side laterally and backwards, it is divided about its middle by a slight vertical ridge into two parts, the medial of which articulates with the base of the fourth metatarsal bone, the lateral with that of the fifth. The posterior surface, also articular, has a semilunar outline, the convex margin of which corresponds to the dorsal roundness of the bone. The inferior lateral angle corresponds to the tubercle on the lateral border of the bone, whilst the inferior medial angle forms a pointed projection which is sometimes called the calcanean process. This surface articulates with the calcaneus by means of a saddle-shaped facet, which is convex from side to side, and concave from dorsal to plantar margins.

Q: Can I set a solution-wide macro from VS a project property sheet? Short Version:
I need to find a way allow a new VS solution to "override" a build macro used by existing C++ projects, but only for that solution, without affecting the value of that macro in older solutions with those projects.   I can change the existing projects however I need.  I can write any new projects (for the new solution) if necessary.  But I need to use one common set of project files to achieve this.  Is this possible
Long version:
My old solution of 15 C++ projects directs output to a common folder via one common VS property sheet that they all use.   The sheet builds an output path that's a subfolder of the solution using the (SolutionDir), $(Configuration) and $(PlatformToolset) macros

Every C++ project includes this property sheet and is careful not override the "Output Directory" setting.  So all the binaries go to a subfolder of the solution like this
\x64\Release\v143

Now I have a larger, .NET 6 solution that includes those 15 projects and others.   The solution will have its own output directory and I want all output to go there (i.e. no file-copying build steps).  The output path doesn't use the toolset (e.g. "v143") but rather the standard .NET subfolder, like "net6.0-windows".  So the new solution's output subfolder will be
\x64\Release\net6.0-windows"

I want to find a way to make all those C++ projects send their output to this new subfolder when they are built as part of this new solution.  But my restrictions are:

*

*I need the old solution (of just the 15 projects) to still work and send its output where it used to.

*I need to use the same set of .VCXPROJ files between the two solutions (I cannot maintain two sets of 15 project files)

*I cannot rely on forcing the developer to define some environment variable before opening the solution.

I can make whatever edits I need to the old projects.  But when building with the old solution, the output folder must be the same.
This would be really easy if VS property sheets macros could be "conditional" and would then be the same for all projects in the solution  (like $(SolutionDir)).  That is, if I could make my property sheet only define that macro (or some other) if it was not already defined.    But I don't see a way to do that
Is what I want possible?  If so, how?

A: While property sheets macros are not conditional, property sheets themselves could be included conditionally. So you can create a solution-level property sheet with custom output directory and then modify all your projects to include this property sheet if it exists:
<ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets">
    <Import
        Project="$(SolutionDir)outputdir.props"
        Condition="exists('$(SolutionDir)outputdir.props')"
        Label="Outputdir override" />
</ImportGroup>
