Alliance: all (about leading) change
Alan Meban (Alan in Belfast) on April 5, 2011, 1:00 pm42 Comments | Readers 26
Alliance launched their election campaign this morning but gave away little about the specific contents of their upcoming manifesto. The paper copy of David Ford's speech this morning was titled: "Ford launches Alliance campaign saying the party is leading change".
Certainly it seemed like the party leader was embarking on a record breaking attempt to overuse the word change. If his short speech was passed through Wordle, the word "change" would overshadow all other content. [Ed – by popular demand, now added at the end of the post.] And it pops up more than a few times in the quick interview with him afterwards.
Change is not a word that many people associated with elections in Northern Ireland … But we believe change is possible … Because this party has been in the business of change – the business of leading change – since the day and hour it was formed … We didn't accept then [1970s] that change wasn't possible, and we don't accept it now … Real change that people want … Anyone who thought change wasn't possible didn't could on the people of that constituency [East Belfast]. People who imagined what change would look like, believed that it was possible, and voted to make it happen. People who decided that they wanted to join us in leading change … And so today we launch the next phase in our campaign for change.
The campaign launch was preceded with a short silence in memory of Ronan Kerr. The majority of their 22 Assembly candidates and 75 Council candidates were present.
Ford's election goal is to return Alliance to the Assembly with a couple of extra seats that should be enough to guarantee them a ministry when d'Hondt process is run. Alliance's success or failure in May will be judged on getting a ministry and moving up a league to become the fifth "main party". By my calculations, they'd be likely to pick up 8th choice out of the 10 ministries allocated that way.
Indeed, we are ambitious enough to believe that we can increase both the number of Alliance Councillors and our number of MLAs. Enough Assembly Members to guarantee a seat on the Executive under the current system for appointing Ministers. If I am returned as Justice Minster that would mean two Alliance Ministers at the Executive table. Two Alliance Ministers, pledged to deliver change within their departments and to drive the Executive towards a new level of joined-up government. That's not an ambition for our Party – that's an ambition for our community.
However, Executive seats for Alliance could be short lived if agreement is reached to reduce the number of ministries down to 7/8, and if parties agree to appoint Justice by d'Hondt after May 2012.
Alliance's whizzy animated Party Election Broadcast will be broadcast tonight. I'll embed a copy here when it appears online next week.) Asked whether voters are swayed by PEBs, David Ford explained:
I think what is the key issue is the image your party has. And I think what we've got at the moment is the image of being genuinely about change, genuinely about reforms, genuinely about a shared future. And I think in that sense, doing a different kind of election broadcast will be interesting in terms of the amount it attracts. What's quite clear is that most of the other parties seem to be back in the same tired old formula of talking heads, saying how great they are without actually confronting the issues behind it.
Update – just for vanhelsing, here's the Wordle!

This Mini Power Meter with Voltage, Current, Watts, mAh & mWh Display (whew that is a mouth-full) is a lot like the USB In-Line Voltage and Current Meter we carry but can be used with a wide range of voltages (not just USB connections). Measure the working voltage and current output for any project with this really fancy power meter.
This power meter has a small LCD display that shows off voltage, watts, amps, and mAH and instantly reads the numbers out for testing devices, such as chargers, cables, and cell phones. There are a few nice extras in this very fancy monitor, such as showing the ambient temperature and calculating the cumulative Watt-hours and milliAmp-hours over a running time. Basically it's an all-in-one power management solution that doesn't require any calculation or data logging on your part.
You can have it self-power from the power source it's measuring (it has a quiescent of about 20mA and requires at least 3V), or you can power separately from a JST connector or power-only micro USB socket.
Dimensions: 48mm x 29mm x 21mm / 1.8" x 1.1" x .8"

BACK IN ACTION? MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS MOVIE IN THE WORKS?
Original five rangers morphing into action. From L-R: Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly), Thuy Trang (Trini), Austin St. John (Jason), Walter Jones (Zack), and David Yost (Billy).
GO, GO POWER RANGERS!
It's morphin' time...potentially.
Announced yesterday, Lionsgate films along with Haim Saban are looking to reboot the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise with a revival on the big screen. The "teens with attitude" starred in two films in the late 1990's and the franchise has had over 15 different incarnations.
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ran on FOX from 1993-1995, and was arguably the biggest show in the world for that time. The cast featured all relative newcomers in Thuy Trang, David Yost, Walter Jones, Amy Jo Johnson, Jason David Frank and Austin St. John, each with their unique talent set brought to their character. Frank, who played Tommy, the Green/White Ranger and St. John who played Jason, the Red Ranger, were incredible young martial artists. Yost, who played Billy the Blue Ranger, and Trang, who was Trini, the Yellow Ranger, were gifted with superior intelligence. Johnson played Kimberly, the Pink Ranger and was an outstanding gymnast. Jones, who was Zack, the Black Ranger, had a great mix of martial arts and hip-hop dancing, which he called Hip-Hop Kido.
The teens were summoned by Zordon and his robotic partner and best friend Alpha 5 to defend the world against Rita Repulsa, Goldar, Squatt and Baboo, along with the villain creator Finster. Each week, the Rangers would face new challenges and would always overcome the odds in some fashion, whether it be combining their weapons to form the Power Blaster or by summoning their Power Zords, creating the Megazord and defeating the larger foes.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a cultural phenomenon and one would have to expect that with the recent revival of older superheroes like Captain America, Ironman, Batman, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four, that Lionsgate is looking to capitalize on that success.
Is this the right time? Will people be interested? Is it a prequel, or spin-off, or a true adaptation? How will the film work as a live action movie? Some actors from the previous series have passed away, will that affect the movie?
And my biggest question: Is this really a good idea?
Don't get me wrong; I'm as big a Power Rangers fan as anyone, and I've dreamed of seeing the Rangers suit up again, but from the early rumblings of the movie, it will not feature the same characters. It will be a "reimagining" of the franchise. To me, no one will ever replace the original Jason, Tommy, Billy, Trini, Zack, or Kimberly, nor will they be able to replace Bulk and Skull, Zordon, Alpha 5, Rita, Ernie, Mrs. Applebee, Mr. Kaplan, and everyone else who made the series as memorable as it has been.
Plus, if you don't have Austin St. John or Amy Jo Johnson, in the film, then what's the point? I'm 50/50 on the idea of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers returning to any screen other than in syndication.

Love is the most important reality of our existence because it is the reason why we were created. God created us because He wants us to share in his life and divinity. We are all God's planned and wanted children. God wants our love for Him to match His love for us. God wants our love, not because He needs it, but because we were created to love (4). Although God needs nothing, He wants all our love, because He is the infinite source of love.
However, many people today have a different understanding of what love is. Many people view love outside the context of God. The world tries to define love mainly on feelings. God defines love as Himself, and as an action that involves unselfishness, sacrifice, no conditions, no paritiality.
Let's examine how the world defines love outside the context of God.
How does the world define love?
Webster's Dictionary says that "love is a strong affection for another person or object".
You may have heard, "I love you because you are beautiful;" or "I love you because you are so good to me;" or "I love my car." Many times we say we love things based only on feelings and emotions which can change from one moment to the next (1).
Many people divorce or leave relationships because they no longer "feel" the love anymore.
The Word of God says that God Himself is Love.
Why is the love of God so important? If God is all powerful, and He is love, then God's love is something that can overcome all things.
The love of God is unconditional. It does not matter if you have one leg, or no arms. It does not matter if you are rich or poor, smart or not-so-smart, young or old, weak or strong, ugly or beautiful, thin or fat, fast or slow, atheletic or in a coma, in the womb or on your death bed. It doesn't matter what race you are. God loves every single human being, no matter what.
God's love is different from a "worldly" love because it is not based on feelings or emotions that come and go away.
God loves us regardless of any condition.
Our value or self-worth is not dependent on what the world deems is important like what you commonly see is portrayed on television.
The love of God is greater than any arbitrary human standard.
We have meaning, value, and purpose in our lives simply because God loves us . . . "period".
We are all called to give this same kind of love to other people.
God shows us how to love through His son, Jesus Christ.
God the Father sent the world His Son, Jesus Christ. In this way, God became one of us by assuming our nature. Jesus, the Son of God, the God-Man, shared in all our pains and sufferings so we might understand the true meaning of love.
These words from Scripture tell us that the life of Jesus Christ is the greatest sign of God's love for the whole world (1).
The power of God's love, in the life of Jesus Christ, is more apparent in light of the reality of sin.
We have to be aware of the reality of sin.
When God created us, He gave us free-will. God gave us free-will because we are made in His image. We have the ability to choose whatever we desire in the hope that we will desire to love God our creator in return. In order for love to be true it cannot be forced upon.
God gives us the choice to love him or not. This leads us to the meaning of sin.
Sin is the abuse of our free-will in choosing to disobey the will of God, and to live a life apart from Him and His love.
Choosing to sin is choosing our selfish desires over the will of God.
Many people are seduced by sin when their perception of "what is true" is distorted.
We sometimes mistake what "feels" good as being good, when in truth it is not.
Just because we have the ability to live without God's love, does that mean we have the right?
Just because we have the ability to do bad things does not mean we have the inherent right to do them.
For example, we don't have the right to hurt others, and visa versa, because it is contrary to the love of God and neighbor.
We don't have the right to offend God and live contrary to His will. This is not the purpose why we were created.
We were created out of love in hopes that we would love in return.
God had sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to guide us back to His truth, love, and divine life, and to save us from sin.
God the Father redeems our sins through His Son, Jesus Christ because He loves us (3).
We talked about the common perceptions of love outside the context of God, and we talked about how God the Father reveals His love through His Son, Jesus Christ.
God is calling us to know and love Him so we can share in His divinity and glory in Heaven.
Sometimes we may not feel that we are worthy of God's love, but this is not so.
We are worthy because God is worthy of all our love.
How does God's love make a difference in your life?
1) What did you hear in this talk that seemed to stand out? Why?
2) Can you recall anything in history as an example of an absence of God's love?
3) After listening to this talk, do you think you can live without God's love?
Because we have the ability to live without God's love, do we have the right? We don't have the right to offend God and live contrary to His will. This is not the purpose why we were created. We were created out of love in hopes that we would love in return. We can only love God if we deny ourselves and put Him first.

Going down the route of Laser Hair Removal is a smart choice for hair removal. It is fast, economical and permanent! Having decided on your clinic and booked yourself in for your first treatment or consultation you may be wondering what you need to know and what you need to do to prepare yourself for your first Laser Hair Removal Treatment.
There are just a few factors needed to ensure your skin and hair are ready to be treated. First, is that it is its natural colour or as close to that as possible. This means don't go tanning or fake tanning yourself in the weeks before your appointment. The second important thing is that the roots of the hair are there. If they have been removed the laser cannot do its job sufficiently. This means you can shave or bleach but you cannot wax, epilate or pluck. Lastly you should clean the area that will be treated. This makes it more pleasant for you and your technician in the appointment to come.
If you feel you are too tanned or have removed the roots of the hairs to be treated accidently you do need to re-arrange your appointment. The technicians cannot treat you in those cases as the laser could damage your skin and cannot work without the root. Give it a few weeks for your skin colour to fade or the hair to re-grow.
If you feel unsure about the lasers on your skin colour, wondering whether it will work or not don't worry too much as in your initial consultation a patch test will be done where the laser is trialled on a very small part of your skin and the technician can advise you.
If you have forgotten or ran out of time to shave or clean the area before your appointment don't worry. The clinic has razors and wipes on hand and you can get yourself ready or they will help you out if it is a hard to reach area.
It is as simple as that. Just book yourself in and pop by after work!

Korean spirit in food and clothing blossom in industry
During its 5,000 year-long history, Korea developed a very unique heritage of food, shelter, and clothing. Traditional clothing or "hanbok" is known for its beautiful colors, comfortable ampleness, and elegant silhouette while kimchi, a scientifically fermented food, is already being shared proudly with people all over the world. "Hangwa" (cookies) and "dduk" (rice cake) capture the genuine taste of nature. In these cultural traditions are found the life, spirit, and philosophy of the Korean people. The following is an introduction of businesswomen who have succeeded in merchandising the tradition and culture of Korea.
Lee Young Hanbok
Traditional Hanbok/Rewriting the History of Hanbok
- Lee Young Hee, CEO of Maison de Lee Young Hee
Designer Lee Young Hee (CEO of Maison de Lee Young Hee Ltd.), who held a traditional hanbok fashion show in celebration of the 10th APEC Women Leaders' Network Meeting (APEC WLN) is known for rewriting the history of hanbok design. After founding Lee Young Hee Hanguk Euisang in 1977, she introduced Korean clothing in runways around the world. She was then invited by the White House to hold a fashion show to celebrate Independence Day in 1983. Since 1993, she has participated in Pret-a-Porte Paris 24 times and held touring fashion shows in New York and Washington D.C. in 2003. The key element of her works is the "harmony of colors." She believes that, "Clothing without harmonious color composition is of no value. And it is the silhouette that enhances the color." Accordingly, her works exhibit the aesthetic of unique color harmony and silhouette of traditional Korean costume.
In 2004, with a firm belief that the shortcut to globalize the traditional fashion is to make the world understand Korean culture, Lee Young Hee opened Lee Young Hee Korea Museum in Manhattan, New York.
Lee Young Hee Hanbok that Globalized the Korean Traditional Costume, Hanbok
Casual Hanbok/ Pioneering Casual Hanbok with an Experimental Spirit
- Kim Nam Hee, CEO of Dolsilnai
Transformed for Everyday Wear Saenghwal(Casul) Hanbok
Recreating the Korean traditional hanbok into modern casual attire, Dolsilnai (CEO Kim Nam Hee), since its establishment in 1995 has strived to introduce hanbok with an experimental spirit. Disappointed by the fact that both the academic and the business world of fashion considers only western wardrobes, CEO Kim Nam Hee, while studying fashion in university, founded a fashion culture society with her classmates, where she studied and made casual hanbok. Dolsilnai currently operates 30 stores nationwide and is prospering in the market, with a 150% annual sales growth.
Unlike the bright vivid colors used in traditional costumes, pastel colors are mainly used in Dolsilnai's casual hanbok. CEO Kim emphases that the commoners, in the past, couldn't dye their clothes with vivid colors and although the colors look faded, the clothing possessed pure beauty.
Kimchi / Conquering the World with Mother's Recipes
- Kim Soon Ja, President & CEO of Hangsung Food Co.
Tong Altari Kimchi
The food that represents Korea, without question, is kimchi. The world is now paying attention to kimchi's nutritional value, too. As a rich source of lactobacillus as well as vitamins A, B1, and C, kimchi is considered a great health food. In 1986, the CEO of Hansung Food, Kim Soon-ja transformed the food prepared in the kitchens of every Korean household, kimchi, into a 50 billion won business.
Sesame Leaf Roll Cabbage Kimchi
As a kimchi supplier for major international events including the 19988 Seoul Summer Olympic Games and the 2002 Busan Asian Games, Hansung Food Co. now has over 70 kimchi related patents.
With her plans to develop kimchi recipes to attract consumers in not only Korea but the whole world, CEO Kim is also creating and manufacturing kimchi varieties that are new to even the Koreans: cactus kimchi, sesame leaf-cabbage roll kimchi, and mini roll bosam kimchi.
Hangwa/The Taste of Nature-Traditional Health Cookie, Hangwa
- Shim Young Sook, CEO of Gyodong F&B
Hangwa, Traditional Korean Cookies made by Natural Fermentation
Hangwa is one of Korea's traditional foods most worthy of an international market. After mass-produced western cookies took over the domestic market, hangwa is nowadays more familiar to Koreans as a premium gift item.
Shim Young Sook, the CEO of Gyodong F&B praises traditional fermenting technology as "the greatest invention of our ancestors" and the once ordinary housewife achieved a remarkable 5 billion won in sales just in department stores last year. CEO Shim comments that hangwa is made from grains that are fermented for 10 to 20 days and its taste is clearly different from yeast-fermented western cookies. She also proudly comments that no artificial preservatives are used when making hangwa and that it is a scientific food since the grain syrup in the cookie prevents oxidation. She is recently leading the transformation of hangwa by developing products with new ingredients such as chocolate.
Dduk/The Traditional Festive Food, Upgraded to a New Version
- Kim Ok Soon, CEO of Hanguk Minsok Food
Made from Rice Dduk is an Imporatant Festive Food
Since ancient times, dduk has been one of the essential dishes for ceremonies and rituals. Dduk was a special food for entertaining guests and it was also preferred as a meal alternative for travelers. However the market for Korean rice cake, dduk, declined as western bakery products such as cakes and breads were introduced. Dduk is making a comeback in the domestic market as a variety of dduk recipes that satisfy the tastes of modern consumers are being introduced. Hanguk Minsok Food has been making traditional dduk for 15 years and by only domestically grown rice. CEO Kim is now leading a company with annual revenues of two billion won. Her company currently manufactures over 50 types of dduk.Made from Rice Dduk is an Imporatant Festive Food
The CEO mentions that duteop dduk (royal rice cake) is one of her company's featured products but she's also attracting young consumers with her new cheese dduk cake. In principle, all products are sold on the day of production yet she comments that if there were a breakthrough in new packaging technology, she would like to explore export opportunities as soon as possible.


England's World Cup stars have jumped to the defence of captain David Beckham after he answered critics with the winning goal against Ecuador.
Ex-internationals Sir Geoff Hurst and Terry Butcher led calls for Beckham to be axed, but his free-kick sealed a quarter-final tie against Portugal.
Goalkeeper Paul Robinson said: "Becks is different class. World class.
"We need him. He is so important. Becks has shown again that he scores and makes vital goals for England."
Robinson added: "His free-kick got us the win against Paraguay. He set up Peter Crouch's goal that put us on our way against Trinidad and Tobago and he scored the winner against Ecuador.
"That's a major personal input whichever way you want to look at it."
Frank Lampard also backed Beckham in the face of his doubters.
"I think he's taken some very hard criticism," said the Chelsea midfielder.
"People should get behind the captain and the team and I think the majority of people are doing that.
"There is some harsh criticism and there is no need for it, but you see the fans out here and they are right behind us."
Steven Gerrard believes the flak Beckham received helped put England through to the last eight.
He said: "I think the criticism he got before the game helped us because he went out with a point to prove and he has helped get us into the last eight.
"All the boys are happy with the job he's doing for the team. The goal was a David Beckham trademark free-kick and a few more of those would be nice."
Owen Hargreaves was another England player who acknowledged Beckham's crucial contribution to the win against Ecuador.
Why not play Beckham in the holding role and Lennon on the right side of midfield?
He said: "Any time you win 1-0 the goalscorer is obviously the hero and it was Becks against Ecuador.
"His set-pieces are his strengths. He put one in and it was a great free-kick and it's won us the game.
"After that we played a bit better, created more chances and could have won 2-0.
"Becks is crucial because when you look at all the games, like Mexico against Argentina, a lot of the goals are from set-pieces.
"He is the best set-piece taker in the world and to have him in your team is a strength. It's a benefit."

Armenia PM Nikol Pashinyan resigns in order to hold early vote
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has resigned in an attempt to force an early parliamentary election.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Tuesday he was resigning from his post in order for parliament to be dissolved and an early election held.
The PM announced his resignation live on national television.
"My dear and proud people, today I tendered my resignation," he was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. He also pledged to "ensure the free expression of the people's will during snap elections".
The former opposition leader swept to power in May following weeks of protests that forced the resignation of his predecessor.
Pashinyan has pushed for an early vote to be held in recent months, in an attempt to unseat his rivals who maintain a majority in parliament.
Early elections are held if legislators fail to appoint a new prime minister and Pashinyan persuaded his opponents not to nominate any candidates.
Earlier this month, he led thousands of his supporters to besiege parliament to pressure his foes to accept an early vote.
On October 10, Pashinyan told broadcaster France 24 that "early elections should be held around December 9 or 10, give or take a day. It will be in that timeframe so I will have to tender my resignation by October 16."
Armenia has not held parliamentary elections since Pashinyan took office in May and he has said the parliament's composition does not reflect the country's political reality.

Dr Terry Cutler led the first official CSIRO Chile Board of Directors Meeting since the recent creation of the CSIRO Chile Research Foundation. The Foundation is now legally incorporated and fully activated and mobilized for action.
The Board comprises Dr Terry Cutler (President), Dr Andrew Johnson (Vice President), Rodney Bloom (Treasurer), Jonathan Law (Secretary), Dr Alejandro Foxley, Director of CIEPLAN and Crispin Conroy, the Senior Trade Commissioner for Latin America and Consul General in Colombia. Andrew Johnson and Rodney Bloom are Executive Directors at CSIRO, for Environment and Development respectively, while Jonathan Law is the Flagship Director of CSIRO research throughout the minerals value chain.
"We now have the operating vehicle to carry out our ambitious plans for research and development in the mining sector, and beyond this into areas like energy and water", said Dr Cutler. "In addition, we have attracted a world class Board of Directors with diverse backgrounds and experience, who are joining their efforts to the common purpose of accelerating innovation within Chile as well as galvanizing greater bilateral collaboration and relationships between Chile and Australia".
The Board discussed the governance framework of the Foundation as well as the way in which it will engage with diverse stakeholders. It was noted that the Board would establish Industry and Research Advisory Councils to ensure that the Foundation's R&D be of the highest level as well as industry-relevant.
A major agenda item was the consideration of the draft report of a significant research study into future scenarios for the mining industry in Chile. James Deverell of the CSIRO Futures Group and Enrique Aravena of CSIRO Chile presented this joint effort to determine the global megatrends in mining and their implications for Chile as well as the drivers, challenges and opportunities for national development in contrasting scenarios to 2030. The Board discussed the various ways in which the study could be used to support national discussions around this important strategic issue.

Why Institutional Investors Are Bullish on Multifamily
By OneWall
The asset class is delivering a bond-like return, according to two institutional owners at the GlobeSt.com Multifamily conference this week.
By Kelsi Maree Borland
There are a lot of reasons to invest in multifamily today. Following the pandemic, apartment investors are enjoying substantial rent growth, record low vacancy rates and an attractive supply demand imbalance. But, institutional capital playing in the core and core-plus market, is more attracted to the stability of the asset class over the long term.
At the GlobeSt.com Multifamily conference this week, Cameron Jones, managing director of US Housing Strategic Transactions at Nuveen, and Angela M. Kralovec, VP of reinvestment and redevelopment at Essex Property Trust, sat down for a conversation on strategy, opportunity and investing at the GlobeSt.com Multifamily conference, and discussed how institutions take a different approach to apartment investing.
"We like multifamily because it provides a bond like return, and because it provides an inflation hedge because leases turn on the regular," said Kralovec. Jones agreed, adding what she called the obvious—multifamily is the only truly essential asset class. "We don't need a mall for living, and we don't need an office space to work." For that reason, multifamily has a durable income stream.
The two investors also take a unique approach to multifamily investment. Nuveen, according to Jones, is focused on demographics and changes in housing needs related to those demographics. For aging millennials, for example, the company will focus on single-family rentals and larger units, or it is focused on service-based amenities for residents in need of naturally occurring affordable housing. This year, the investor will deploy $2.5 billion toward housing investments.
In Kralovec's role at Essex, she looks for ways to unlock value within the existing portfolio. This could mean anything from a standard upgrade with new finishes or appliances, or large renovation projects that convert common spaces into higher and better users, which could be additional rental units or a more in-demand amenity. "My challenge is to look through the entire portfolio and figure out where to go first. There are a high number of opportunities," she said.
On the acquisition side, Essex focuses on properties that they can buy at scale. It does little trading, opting instead to hold the properties in the long-term, and it needs to see strong fundamentals in the markets where it is active that will support long-term growth. For that reason, the company is most active in class-A and class-B product that is near, but not in, the urban core.
And, Kralovec added that the firm still loves California, despite the headlines of an exodus. She said the market still has strong fundamentals, a supply-demand imbalance and limited opportunity for significant new development. She says that only 10% to 15% of the portfolio is true urban core, which served them well during the pandemic.
