Q: OrientDB - Duplicate a record into a read-only class When a user creates a record, this record needs to be duplicated into a read-only class.
Two vertex classes, one with full access for user, the second with read-only access. Whenever a record is created in the full access class a duplicate record needs to be created within the read-only class.
A dynamic hook almost works, but the function will not fire because the user lacks the create privilege on the readOnly class. How can I create a duplicate record?
//from console
CREATE CLASS allRights EXTENDS V, OTriggered;
CREATE CLASS readOnly EXTENDS V;
ALTER CLASS allRights CUSTOM onAfterCreate=createDuplicate

CREATE FUNCTION createDuplicate "db.command(\"CREATE VERTEX readOnly set someField = \\\"\" + doc.field(\'someField\')+\"\\\"\");" LANGUAGE Javascript

INSERT INTO ORole SET name = 'testUser', mode = 0;
UPDATE ORole PUT rules = "database.class.readOnly", 2 WHERE name = "testUser";
UPDATE ORole PUT rules = "database.class.allRights", 15 WHERE name = "testUser"
UPDATE ORole PUT rules = "database.class.*", 15 WHERE name = "testUser"

INSERT INTO OUser SET name = 'testUser', password = 'password', status = 'ACTIVE', roles = (SELECT FROM ORole WHERE name = 'testUser')

A: I have 2 solutions for this problem:

*

*You could allow to the user the permission to READ and CREATE
record, but not to UPDATE and DELETE them. In this way the hook
would work.

*In the JS function you could switch to a user with the privilege to create the record. This is the code in JS: db.switchUser('superuser', 'superuser')

The following uses a sample of 3147 3-bed Dublin properties.
I expect lots of noise in this data. The average number of 3-beds in the sample is 77/month, but number for Jan-May 2014 are only 36, 64, 48, 63, 51 respectively. However, they arguably agree with Mantissa's mix-unaware analysis.
So the gap between asking and achieved troughed at about -15% in 2012 and most recently is up to +7%. The non-zero axes magnify this effect.
Are you removing outliers? Is there any need?
What % of the ads for 3-beds are you subsequently able to match to PPR entries, i.e. how complete do you think your coverage is?
For those not following the Great Index Debates, this is probably the best piece of analysis of Dublin 3-bed prices done by anyone, ever, across any medium (assuming it's correct and I see no reason to doubt ps's work). Puts MyHome/Daft/CSO to shame.
What is the average asking price over the whole time?
It looks like the asking price and selling has generally moved closer together over the period which is interesting. With the PPR data being available, this is what I would expect.
w.r.t asking prices, this is presumably last asking price.
Which isn't as useful as might be expected if you're looking at a house for sale, since you cannot know whether it will be re-listed higher or lower before it's eventual sale.
The last 7 months have been bubblicious compared to the previous 24 months but have the CSO being reporting rises for much longer.
If you wish it, it will come true!!
whats with the sale price way above asking in the last month?
Would be interesting to get the data points so we can plot vs CSO, sunspots, etc. PS, would you be willing to post that in spreadsheet form?
What is your definition of Dublin?
I would certainly expect robust discussion from someone such as yourself on the Daft.ie RPPR analysis, and indeed all house price analysis, but I wouldn't expect you to ignore that it exists.
If the data are correct, then we can see that sale prices only matched and exceeded asking prices around the time the market hype suggesting shortage of supply started to be ratcheted up by the EA's again. The question is … which led to which?
Ronan, would you care to link to your analysis of Dublin 3-beds? I have never seen such a thing and would be interested to read it.
I'm going to say No. The standard deviations on price and on ratio of sale price to asking are not vast. Your question prompted me to look at extreme outliers – there were two properties where sale price was 4% and 5% of asking, both from 2011 and clearly spurious. I haven't fixed this but won't make a vast difference to results.
As you know, the only way to match the PPR and myhome data is by address. Matching addresses without house numbers is pointless, so I discard everything without one. I attempt some automated cleanup and standardisation on the addresses before matching, but the hit rate is poor. I have 630k myhome records, for 134k unique addresses of which 76k have house numbers. I only managed to match 12k of these against the PPR and when I limit it to houses for sale without any special conditions and with the PPR full price flag, it drops to under 11k. So the final match rate even after selecting only properties with house numbers is a measly one in seven.
The average asking for Dublin 3-bed houses in the period from Jan-2011 is €275,800. The average selling price is €251,100.
I don't think the PPR has done that. While prices were falling, selling prices were below asking. When prices stabilised/rose selling was above asking. Probably the same in any market.
w.r.t asking prices, this is presumably last asking price. Which isn't as useful as might be expected if you're looking at a house for sale, since you cannot know whether it will be re-listed higher or lower before it's eventual sale.
It's both better and worse than that. I have all the asking prices from my snapshots, so if I see a property more than once I have the data. But a) it's not easy to decide what to do with multiple prices, b) I only have 3-monthly snapshots so very coarse granularity. So, as you surmise, I'm using the latest price seen.
It's based on 51 individual matches. Scanning the raw data by eye I don't see anything obviously spurious. It's just that there are a lot of them going above asking. The breakdown of the ratio of selling to asking is: under 90% - 5, 90-100% - 9, 100-110% - 20, 110-120% - 7, 120-130% - 5, 130-140% - 3, 140-150% - 2.
You (or anyone) are welcome to the data. The format is twisty, though, and has multiple encoded fields for things like house type, sale type, tax type, price type etc. It makes much more sense as a relational database where it can be simplified using views. I suspect you're probably comfortable using an RDBMS. I'm using the open source H2 database which takes about 5 minutes to download, install, and get running. I could give you the data as a H2 database along with some illustrative sample queries. Can also do it in CSV format, but will have to be three separate tables and you will be on your own trying to join them. H2 has good facilities for importing and exporting csv data, which allows the raw data or the results of queries to be exported for massaging in spreadsheets etc.

PS, thanks but I wasn't even talking about the raw data; I just meant the two resulting data series charted in your graph above.
Thanks again for this analysis.
However, slicing it even more ways than I did would result in very small samples.
Same again, for Dublin 4-beds. Sample sizes here are quite low, only 25 for that spike in Aug-13 and only 15 for May-14 so far, mostly around 50-60/month elsewhere. Total sample 1,599 4-bed Dublin houses. Interesting that average selling price has never overtaken average asking on 4-beds (apart from maybe last month). I thought that market was hotter than 3-beds, from anecdotal comments. I guess the moral is don't get caught in a bidding war on a 4-bed.
Trojan work pa, fair play to you.


Want to pursue a course that is currently not offered by any of the local polytechnics and universities in Singapore? Don't fret; there are many private tertiary institutions governed by the Council of Private Education (CPE) in the Little Red Dot that you can enrol in―if you know where to look. This is definitely a good news to the junior college (JC) and ITE graduates too.
The CPE awards excellent private education institutions (PEIs) who are able to consistently maintain high standards in key areas of management and in the provision of education services with edutrust awards.
Tertiary schools offer a wide range of courses that can help you obtain a diploma, degree or higher qualifications at a fraction of the cost of studying overseas. Luckily, many private tertiaries in Singapore offer curricula similar to the institution's country of origin and offer international certification, and some taught by the same teaching faculty staff as the parent campus.
When you're part of the workforce, it is important to obtain a diploma or degree that is recognised in your country of work. The institution must be accredited by the government of the country where the institution is situated. SIM, Curtin Singapore and Kaplan Singapore are one of the few favourites of working professionals.
Having relevant skills is especially important with the ever-increasing official retirement age and the minimum Central Provident Fund (CPF) required to be set aside. With the increasing life expectancy, senior citizens are expected to live and work longer.
Soft skills are akin to lubricants that also smoothen the operations of the technical skills, ensuring a coherent and synchronised work performance. With soft skills like leadership and communication skills, you will be able to to lead with a stronger buy-in from your staff, and build relationships that are long-term and rewarding.
Technical skills are the specialised domain expertise you bring to an organisation. Possessing technical skills can give you a rewarding career, especially if it is in line with your intelligence and passion.
Many courses in the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) directory, GetCET.sg, Lifelong Learning Institutes and CET Centres adhere to the Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) framework. Many of these courses also offer Workfare Training Support (WTS) grant. Some of the courses can be offset with SkillsFuture Credits too.
In addition, there are part-time ITE courses, e-learning courses, diploma and degree courses you can find in the many private tertiaries in Singapore. Coursera and Udemy are popular online learning portals. Some of these adult learning courses award Professional Development Units (PDU) too.
Regardless of learning online or attending physical classes, there is always the right class for you to fit your learning needs and learning style. At actualyse.com, our comprehensive school directory with powerful filtering and shortlisting functions allow you to compare fees and view authentic reviews of the institutions to help you find the right one with ease.

Liam Sheedy is looking forward to the challenge of managing the Tipperary team for the second time after a gap of nine years. He admits it's a challenge when he suggests that the face of hurling has changed. He suggests that his new term is starting in a similar manner to when he started in 2008 when he blended the younger players who had All-Ireland minor medals in 2006 and 2007 and it's happening again when he agrees that Liam Cahill had prepared the All-Ireland Under-21 team very well.
Nine weeks back – is it what he expected?
"The game hasn't stood still over the past eight years since I left, it's moving at pace.The amount of work that goes on outside the pitch now is gone to a whole new level so that is something I wouldn't have been accustomed to previously. A lot of the work going on, on the pitch, hasn't changed dramatically but I suppose it was still in the conventional style set-ups when I was there previously whereas the conventional nowadays with all six forwards, six backs and two midfielders is a thing of the past.
The Experience from playing in the Co-op Munster league was a good place to start back with?
"We have obviously learned a nice bit over the Munster League. It's been a very good venture for us and we'll obviously need to learn quickly because we weren't happy with the goals let in (v Clare). Three of the goals maybe certainly should have been avoided. Any day you cough up four goals to top class opposition you are going to lose and that was after a very good start, it was 0-5 to 0-1 after seventeen minutes and were getting into a bit of a groove but I'm conscious of the fact they had some wides you would have expected to go over the bar but generally we were in the game but the two goals in the first half meant we had done most of the hurling and ended up at 0-7 to 2-2.
"It has been a useful exercise for me. We are not playing with a full hand at the moment either which is not a bad thing. Barry Hogan got to play in his fourth game in a Tipperary jersey in a Munster League final, Killian O'Dwyer is getting into see action, Colin English is beginning to get in there, Jake (Morris) and Mark Kehoe so there is a lot of youth getting their chance.
"Obviously we are trying various things in various positions in the Munster League and in the early stages of the National League we need to try things to be honest. It is really important, my vision is once we get to the end of the National League that we are in a place where 12 or 13 of the places look like they are in a nailed down position.
"At the moment out of a panel of 40, I have about 28 training so there are still twelve to come back in, some of those will have significant experience behind them as well. I think the first two rounds of the league, probably three, is going to give me a chance to really look to try a few things and I have no problems trying a few things just to see can we get most comfortable with the spine of our team, what way we want to set up and how we want to structure our play.
"We have a lot to be getting on with but the most important and positive thing I'll say is that I am very happy with training. I am very happy with the way they have applied themselves physically over the last number of weeks. Cairbre (O Cearralain, strength & conditioning coach) has really asked the hard questions on the physical side, and Tommy (Dunne) and Darragh (Egan) continue to challenge them.
"It probably meant we were a little leggy (against Clare) but again, that is okay because we have to get through this period of work. Through no fault of anyone, I would feel we were behind the curve physically over the last few years so we are trying to catch up on lost ground and it's hard to close the gap in nine weeks but certainly the work we have done is going to put us moving in the right direction.
The Allianz Hurling League is to change format change in 2020 so there is less pressure on relegation.
"You might say the best place to be for the championship is in Division 1B because it didn't do Galway, Limerick or Waterford any harm over the last number of years and there is something in that because you can't expect players to go out and play every week in the National League and then you try and play quarter final, semi-final and final, then go into some club activity and then come back in and be fresh for the championship, especially last year where there was four matches in 21 days for Tipperary.
"We have learned a lot as a group in terms of the Munster League but also when we look back at league and championship in 2018 there are learnings in terms of how we approached it overall. It's trying to get that right so when you get to the start of the championship that everyone is fit, ready and rearing to go, and have that hunger for championship because if you are playing all of those consecutive games, it is very hard to maintain that raw hunger that you need to be successful because the reality is if you catapult it forward to the championship, we are going down to play Cork who haven't lost a match in Munster in two years, are current Munster champions going for three-in-a-row.
Balancing the art of trying players with not extending a losing run can be difficult?
"I'd be very happy with the belief that exists within the group that Tipperary, on their day, if they play to their potential can get to the level of any other team and the challenge for all other teams is to do it consistently as that inconsistency was ultimately Tipperary's undoing in 2018.
"The effort and energy drive of the group is really good. I look on the league as a massive opportunity for this group. A lot of people might say losing the league finals in 2017 and 2018 wasn't good for Tipperary but I would say the only match in the league which wasn't good for Tipperary in the last two years has been the league final. The league overall has been very good for Tipperary so we'll give the league the respect it deserves and certainly won't be going out not to try and learn and try things and be ready to go for championship 2019 because ultimately that is where everyone is measured on.
How have last year's U-21 players adapted to the senior set-up so far?
"It's a big step-up for them physically. Obviously some of those guys are really athletic, but they probably have a lot of work to do to build themselves up physically, to be ready for the hustle and bustle when the John Conlans and the Walter Walshes and these guys that come in around the place from time to time.
But I would say they are well up for the challenge. Liam Cahill has really created a really good, honest bunch. I think anyone who watched the All-Ireland U-21 Final last year would acknowledge that. They're full of passion and they're full of drive and they're on a learning curve.
The physical curve is quite steep for them, so I'd say when they get to the gym session on a Wednesday night they are saying 'Oh my God'... but they're great lads and they really are applying themselves well. So I think it's lovely to have the (same) blend that was there back in 2008 when I started. I had the minor teams from '06 and '07 coming through. It's great to be coming in 2019 and having the U-21s coming through from 2018, obviously some of those have minor success behind them as well.
Are defence and midfield his two areas of focus?
"I would say the spine of the team is really important to get right. We have talent. There is no position that I look at right now and say that I don't have somebody that would fit into it if we had everyone available. So that's the beauty of it, certainly getting everybody fit and ready.
One person per position isn't going to cut it. The only way we have any chance of being successful is trying to have that healthy competition where there's two people vying for that one position on any given day. If somebody doesn't make it whether its injury or loss of form that somebody else is ready to step in. That's where we really need to try and step it up to see can we create that competition.

Sustainable Food Systems and Stable Climates Are Intertwined. Let's Treat Them that Way
Lisa Moon
The silence around food systems was deafening at the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26). Leaders failed to adequately acknowledge the relationship between food systems and climate change, an irresponsible omission that puts billions of people at risk.
The two are indisputably intertwined. The effects of a warming climate can decimate food systems and exacerbate food insecurity and economic instability. At the same time, food systems can intensify global warming through the widespread use of unsustainable farming and land management practices and greenhouse gas-emitting food loss and waste.
Despite this connection, the Glasgow Climate Pact doesn't mention food systems, food security, agriculture, or food loss and waste at all. The absence of food systems from the world's largest climate deal is unfortunate at best and extremely dangerous at worst, and it's one that left me considerably disappointed.
While I believe that disappointment is a healthy catalyst for change—and for holding our leaders accountable—it cannot and should not landlock future efforts and progress. The need to feed our communities responsibly and sustainably in light of a rapidly changing climate is too urgent.
Even though food systems did not have a large presence at COP26, I remain optimistic that people are noticing its absence. And I am energized by the opportunities—and outcomes—that will be possible when we collectively commit to putting food systems on the climate agenda and vice versa.
At The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), we understand that addressing food insecurity is inextricably linked to mitigating food loss and waste, and that achieving these goals requires solutions that are rooted in, responsive to, and respectful of local contexts. Unpredictable events, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing severity of climate change, make our task more complex and more imperative.
We know that many of the same communities that are most vulnerable to climate change are also the most vulnerable to food insecurity. This is not a coincidence. The effects of a warming climate—often in the form of severe and more frequent weather events like drought, wildfires, and floods, and an increase in pests and disease—can reduce or damage agriculture and food production. When agriculture and food production decreases, food availability drops, leading to gaps in the supply chain that contribute to rising costs, which can then lead to food insecurity for those who cannot access affordable, nourishing food.
GFN addresses this issue by supporting food banks around the world, a climate-friendly solution that enables vulnerable populations to access food, sustains local food systems, and redistributes food that would otherwise be lost or wasted—a key strategy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It's a solution that has made an enormous impact: In 2020, GFN distributed nearly 2.4 billion meals to over 40 million people across 44 countries, thanks to unwavering dedication from our partners and volunteers.
While food banking is just one of many green solutions that helps reduce food insecurity and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, it's integral to the health and well-being of our neighbors—and our planet. As the importance of alleviating hunger continues to make headlines, alongside calls and solutions to do so in tandem with climate change mitigation, it's critical that our work is grounded in climate and food justice. Discussing climate action and food systems in the same sentence is not merely a nicety; it's an issue of equity that ensures people can live healthy, safe, and productive lives.
One thing is clear: The global community will not have the impact we aspire to if we address the greatest issues of our time in silos. Sustainable food systems and a stable climate are crucial to a healthy future, and both are key to the other's survival. While much work lies ahead to close these gaps, I look forward to COP27, where sustaining healthy food systems will hopefully be high on the agenda.

SAN ANTONIO – Kelly Oubre Jr. has heard enough negative outside noise.
The Phoenix Suns wing said he deleted his Twitter account to "get back focused, get back right and not even worry about what people have to say."
Oubre posted on his Instagram account a message to signal how he feels towards the criticism and name calling that's recently come his way.
"Showed love before I saw the loyalty. I gave 'em way too much credit."
Oubre is coming back from a concussion that led to him missing two games. The Suns won at New York and Boston with Mikal Bridges starting, but they've dropped the next two against San Antonio and Indiana with Oubre back in the starting lineup.
Shooting just 37.9% from the field in the two losses, Oubre went just 2-of-10 from 3.
This has led to some fans on social media taking shots at Oubre, a competitive talent who brought an attitude, energy and the Valley Boyz movement to Phoenix.
"Somebody's got to be the scapegoat," Oubre said. "I'm not really surprised at all."
Suns coach Monty Williams said Oubre is in a "integration" phase right now since returning to action.
"When he was out, Mikal stepped in and did a pretty good job," said Williams as Bridges scored a career-high 26 points, hitting 6-of-8 from 3 in win at Boston.
"You naturally look at that and see the team win a couple of games and you naturally think to yourself like, whoa. So, I think he's in between trying to figure out, 'Ok, do I play like that or do this?'"
However, Williams is happy with the play of Oubre, who is having a career season.
"Make no mistake about it, Kelly has been good for us this year," Williams continued. "Hit big shots. Gets to the free throw line. Attacks the basket. Elite athlete and we've been able to use that to our advantage."
Oubre is averaging career highs in points (18.2), rebounds (6.4), minutes (34.0), field goal percentage (45.6%), 3-point shooting (34.2%) and steals (1.4) this season. Off the court, he teamed up with Deandre Ayton to headline a fashion show with proceeds going to Phoenix Suns Charities.
The fifth-year player out of Kansas also had his Valley Boyz pop-up shop with proceeds going towards Ayton's hurricane relief fund after the deadly storms ravaged Ayton's native Bahamas.
Oubre is perhaps the team's most popular player next to Devin Booker, but he has been on the wrong end of that popularity of late.
"I just don't care what people have to say to be honest with you," Oubre said. "I'm in a place right now where I kind of want to protect myself and just not worried about what the world is saying and be within my own life. Instagram is enough, I think."
Oubre noted how fans criticized them during last season when the Suns finished with their second-worst record in franchise history at 19-63.
"Everybody was saying we were the worst thing walking in the city of Phoenix," Oubre said. "Now it's a whole different scenario and that's because of the work we've put in and gradually, we've gotten better. This organization is continuing on a positive note. So, we're going to keep doing that. We can't worry about what other people on the outside this arena have to say."
As for his Twitter decision, Oubre said it was based more on dealing with "negative people" than negative comments.
"Negative people, I don't do that," Oubre said. "I just surround myself with positivity and that's going to help me be better."
Oubre said he plans to remain positive through the negativity.
"All I can do is control what I can control," he said. "I can't control nobody else, no other people, no other entities. I can control the joy and happiness that I bring to this world and just be happy with that. I don't care what other people bring back to me because the ones who it touches, they'll tell me. You'd rather appreciate something like that's alive and well."

Former York Springs tax collector pleads guilty to theft
Tina Reever pleaded guilty to felony theft on Thursday, according to court documents. Her other theft charge was withdrawn.
Former York Springs tax collector pleads guilty to theft Tina Reever pleaded guilty to felony theft on Thursday, according to court documents. Her other theft charge was withdrawn. Check out this story on eveningsun.com: http://evesun.co/2jzN1TM
Dustin B Levy, dlevy@eveningsun.com Published 9:33 a.m. ET Jan. 12, 2017 | Updated 2:31 p.m. ET May 19, 2017
Update, May 19
Her sentencing is slated for Aug. 17, according to her attorney, Mark Bayley.
"She's interested in paying restitution at this point," he said.
Update, March 24:
Tina Reever's plea date is slated for May 18, according to court documents.
Update, Jan. 28:
Tina's Reever's defense moved to waive her preliminary hearing before Magisterial Judge Tony Little on Jan. 25, according to court documents. Formal arraignment is scheduled for March 20.
Previously reported:
A former York Springs tax collector allegedly stole funds designated for tax collection in the Bermudian Springs School District, according to an affidavit filed with District Judge Tony Little.
Tina Reever, 49, of York Springs stole about $88,000 in taxes from property owners within York Springs borough, the affidavit states. State police charged Reever with two counts of theft on Jan. 5.
Reever resigned from her duties as tax collector in July after police began an investigation into alleged embezzlement. She had started as tax collector in 2014.
In the 2015-16 school year, Reever submitted paperwork that named 59 delinquent property owners to Justin Peart, the business manager of the Bermudian Springs School District, police said in the affidavit.
Subsequently, Barb Walter, the Adams County tax assessor, informed Peart that 27 of the 59 property owners contacted her stating they had paid their real estate taxes and had cancelled checks as proof they were deposited, court documents state.
Peart, along with Bermudian Springs Supt. Shane Hotchkiss, confronted Reever with this information on July 11, and she admitted to using the tax collector money for personal use, according to the affidavit. She allegedly explained she transferred money from the tax collector bank account into her personal account, but she was unsure of the amount she stole and the number of occasions she misused funds.
THE EVENING SUN
York Springs tax collector resigns amid embezzlement investigation
State police obtained a warrant to search and freeze Reever's tax collector and personal bank accounts, the affidavit states. In a police interview, Reever allegedly admitted to using funds inappropriately.
Reever was arrested July 11, according to court documents. Police received the results of a forensic audit of the alleged theft Dec. 15.
Reever was released on $50,000 unsecured bail Jan. 5 and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Jan. 25, court documents state.
"That matter is pretty cut and dry," said Mark Bayley, Reever's attorney. "She's certainly apologetic for what she did, and she wants to make things right."

Step-by-Step Travel Guide to CALATAGAN - March 20, 2021


Do you want to explain difficult facts to clients? Do you want to get a sales message across?
The first few seconds of any interaction is critical, whether you know the other person or not.
This is particularly important in any business interaction today where people's time seem so limited, people seem so aware of "that sales pitch" coming and are ready to tune off. Today's SMS and social media world seem to do nothing but ready for us to listen to tweets.
If you want to put your business message across, whether it is advice, technical information or a sales pitch you need to tune yourself and your communication to that frequency which is most clear.
I have found that the best way to do this is to use four simple steps in any business communication.
First, meet people where they are, in order to take people to where you want them to go.
If you want someone to understand your message, you need to understand what they care about. They may care about cost, or they may care about ease of use, or indeed they may care about something human like not being embarrassed. Understand their hot buttons, and acknowledge it before you go from there.
For example if someone doesn't care about the quality engineering of your product, don't start talking about its fine precision qualities. Find first a common concern. Find the problem for which they need a solution (not necessarily your product) then work from there. Their problem may be not having enough people who know how to use your product – work from that to see if you can offer easy and economical training and transition.
As yourself if what you are trying to say to them is actually appropriate to them where they are now? People like working with people who "get it".
The second step to take is to strip your message of insider jargon!
Use every day words that everybody can understand and leave industry-speak behind. If you are a doctor explaining your diagnosis to a patient, please don't say "myocardial infarction"!
Using industry jargon does NOT show you know your stuff, it gives them the impression you don't care enough about their comprehension. And we all know how we feel about know-it-alls don't we?
Number three, get rid of all EXTRA details.
In today's world we hold so much information that we want to explain it all because it all makes sense to us. Avoid this temptation.
Start with details about yourself or your product or your advice, then give details that strategically move your story forward in this meeting. Additional details are not required.
For example if you explain tax, give details of your research in regard to your work on the client's tax problem (not about how your love for music led you to this tax research), then give details about the tax and how it affects the client – don't give details about the legislative history of the tax.
Finally step 4 is to tie it all together.
A good way to do this is to test the message with people outside your normal circle. Give them the message intended for the customer and ask them if they understood it.
People inside your circle will support you and think like you so they will understand your message and mentally fill in any blanks or delete any over-detail. But people outside your circle will be more able to highlight the gaps and narrative of your message.
Who should you test on? People you have just met but are in the industry as well, people like your intended audience, people you know but don't know you that well.
What about you? What tips and traps have you found when you are trying to communicate a difficult message?

FrightFest 2015: Nina Forever Review
FestivalsA - HFrightFest
FrightFest, Reviews
The Blaine Brothers' Nina Forever is really unlike any other film – it carefully blends a number of genres together in a masterful and precise way. Nina Forever is a touching and intimate story of love, loss and acceptance. But it's also often very funny as well as very terrifying. But the power of the film is down to how real it all feels, the emotions it portrays. Putting the ghostly elements aside, Nina Forever is an incredible character led piece, which is intent on exploring the darkness that can grow when a loved one leaves you behind and there really isn't another film like it.
The central three characters; Nina (an outstanding performance from Fiona O'Shaughnessy, Utopia), Holly (Abigail Hardingham) and Rob (Cian Barry) are all broken in their various ways. Rob has just failed to commit suicide after the death of his girlfriend, Nina. He starts to work at a local supermarket stacking shelves but when he meets medical student, Holly who also works part time at the store, things look as if they may turn around for the better. Holly has just spilt up with her boyfriend because she was too nice and too vanilla for his taste but he doesn't realise the dark undercurrent that runs through Holly and it takes someone like Rob to bring it out of her. Holly finds it incredibly sexy when she finds out that Rob tried to kill himself over his girlfriend and tries to get to know him better. Over time the two strike up a good balance and realise they could work well together but when they go to have sex for the first time after a date, they realise that Nina will never leave them alone and their torment and grief will either get the better of them or it will force them to survive.
Ultimately Nina Forever works on so many levels, many of which are accessible to most members of the audience. Themes of love, losing those around you, trying to move on and figuring out how to sink or swim are things that almost everyone will have to deal with at some point in their lives. But this film so succinctly and beautifully explores emotion through the central three – whether it's love, lust, jealously, obsession, rage or denial, the Blaine Brothers have magnificently captured powerful and arresting performances from O'Shaughnessy, Hardingham and Barry. They play off of one another on screen – going between scary, funny and sad and quite often managing to do all three at the same time, which is an incredible feat for feature debut filmmakers.
The colours of the film are also striking; the greyness of the world these characters live in swallows up the screen and soon becomes a mirror image for how they each feel but this feeling is often devoured by the blood red motif that reoccurs throughout. This juxtaposition between the two is haunting and necessary for the power of the film to sweep over the audience.
Nina Forever is a gift of a film for the audience because it has the power to reinvent the genre as never before – it suddenly humanises the supernatural and sees two worlds collide in the most stunning and vital way.

The best games for Chromebook you can download right now
If you have a Chromebook, you may have noticed that there are not as many games for it as for other types of computers. But that does not mean there is nothing to play! Now most Chromebooks have access to the Google Play store, so you have millions of Android games at your disposal. And even if you have an older device with Chrome OS, you can find a good selection of titles, from role plays to mental skills games. Here we compile a list of the best games for Chromebook, and best of all, almost everyone is free!
A note about compatibility: Chromebooks do not support many games due to controller or hardware issues. Some technically open in the browser as Chrome applications and will not experience problems. We have included some of these. However, we also include some Android games that are available in the Google Play Store and are played well on most computers with Chrome OS.
The best Android games for Chromebooks
Sonic the Hedgehog Classic (free)
The successful title that started the Sonic series is now available on the Chromebook through the Google Play Store! With Sonic the Hedgehog Classic You can run through the seven classic zones, make turns in the loops and defeat enemies. The game is optimized for Chromebooks with touch screens, but you can also use Xbox controls if necessary. It is extremely light and very funny.
Pac-Man (free)
Pac man It is one of the most famous video games of all time, and is now available for Chromebook. In this game you get many points while guiding Pac-Man through a maze to eat all the balls and fruits while dodging enemy ghosts. This game is full of old school style action, but you can also enjoy new daily missions, tournaments and rewards. Best of all, you don't need a Chromebook with a touch screen, because the game uses the arrow keys.
Asphalt 9: Legends (free)
Arif Bacchus / Digital Trends
Those who have a Windows 10 PC can enjoy racing games like Forza, but if you have a Chromebook and you really want to play a real racing title, you can try Asphalt 9: Legends. The game flows very well in Chrome OS; From time to time there is a fallen frame, but it is still a great experience. You can use touch controls if your device is compatible; If not, you can simply play with the keyboard. Choose the car you need and run through spectacular scenarios against rivals around the world.
The best games that are Chrome apps
Agar.io (free)
The popularity of Agar.io has been increasing thanks to its easy handling (and having appeared in House of Cards also helped). All you need is the correct site and access data.
The game itself is surprisingly hypnotizing. You start as a simple stain in a world made of graph paper, and then you go there telling other players to grow and become more powerful. As you grow, you learn to use the tricks that your stain can do, where to hide and more. It's quite addictive and it's always a lot of fun to see other players around the world escape from you or swallow you.
Arcane Legends (free)
There are many free role-playing games for Chromebook and almost all of them can be used on any computer. Nevertheless, Arcane Legends It is one of the most reliable and fun. This game allows you to create a character, fight a little, do some magic, tame some cute pets as normal in a role play.
You have to know that delving into the deepest elements of the game, such as the cofrades, requires a serious time commitment. It is not precisely for casual players.
Tagpro (free)
Although their graphics may be inspired by the old Minesweeper, actually Tagpro It is a surprisingly complex game of capturing the flag, great if you are looking for a brief competitive experience that revolves around strategy and teamwork.
Thanks to those super simple graphics you don't have to worry about anything other than the combination of bombs, blocks and powerups you have access to create your own levels to frustrate those who want to steal your flag. When a couple of teams come together and everyone tries to steal everyone's flags, it is chaos.
DarkOrbit (free)
Darkorbit It is a disputed massively multiplayer online science fiction that several years ago (exists since 2009) probably would not have appeared on this list. However, more features have been added over time, more details have been polished and you can play more for free.
If your thing is to supervise spaceships, hunt other players and compete to be the best pilot in the universe (and if you have a lot of free time) this game is for you. One caveat: there are a lot of fans who have gained a lot of experience after several years of playing, so at first you may not feel your element.
Pandemic 2 (free)
Have you ever felt the urge to destroy all mankind? Pandemic 2 It's perfect for those Mondays when your macabre instinct is stronger than normal. You just have to choose a terrifying disease and get down to work to eradicate all human life on the face of the Earth.
The game prides itself on its absence of attractive graphics. Instead, you will have simple maps and simple messages in which you keep track of your disease around the world and try to infect as many countries as possible.
Of course, at first it is a bit technical, but it is also relatively simple and it is easy to get out of the middle of a boring class or a slow day at the office.
Entanglement ($ 5 dollars)
EntanglementIt is one of the most praised games for Chromebook, thanks to its beautiful organic design and the captivating game (as long as you like mental skills games). The goal on any of the maps is to move the pieces to create a path. The longer and more labyrinthine your path, the better your score. It is easy to learn and surprisingly relaxing.
Save the Day (free)
If you love old school video games that are full of challenges, try this new twist. Instead of shooting aliens or ruffians, you fly across the screen in a helicopter to avoid fire while surviving rescuers caught in the flames. This approach to saving characters is great, the cartoon graphics of the game are pleasing to the eye and the level of challenge is right at the right point.

String of hope
Editor: To paraphrase Winston Churchill, "Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing once they've tried everything else." This quip can be said to be too clever by half and surely it was meant to insult us in an amusing way, but I'll take it for the begrudging compliment that it is.
As a nation, we have values — ideals that are aspirational if not realizable; for example, government of, for and by the people, liberty and justice for all, E Pluribus Unum. We try to uphold them against all the forces, both innocent and insidious, working against them.
In recent weeks, we have seen the worst and the best of who we are. A 21-year-old nihilistic racist mowed down nine innocent African-Americans praying in their sanctuary — an apparent safe haven. It was the forgiving families of the victims who measured up to our highest standards that inspired others to do the right thing. Indeed, Gov. Nikki Haley demanded that the Confederate flag be removed from official places in South Carolina.
I can't give these noble souls credit for the Supreme Court's decisions to let the Affordable Health Care Act continue to do its work and the court's upholding the legitimacy of gay marriage. But related or not — this string of "right things" gave hope and inspiration to many of us. And it certainly emboldened our president to promote initiatives that are meant to make life easier and better for those who are underserved.
We need to go much further — to work against the growing gap between rich and poor and to ensure that deadly weapons do not find their way into the hands of deranged, murderous haters. These should not be regarded as political matters. Is there a conservative reason to be against them?

From Kew Gardens, Queens New York, the Roommates were fifteen year old Steve Susskind and Bob Minsky of Russell Sage Junior High. Susskind originally sang with a local quartet called the Sparklers, but in 1959 he and Minsky became a duo. Later that year they took second place at a Forest Hills High School competition losing to Tom and Jerry who would later become Simon and Garfunkel.
Deciding to become a group several members came and went until the 1960 members included Steve Susskind (lead), Jack Carlson (first tenor and falsetto), Felix Alvarez (second tenor) and Bob Minsky (bass).
The group practiced after school and began writing songs. Realizing the songs weren't good enough they began going through their 45s to find workable material coming up with "One Summer Night" and "The Glory of Love." The group often sang in the lobby of the Forest Hills apartment building where Jody Malis lived. Malis was the record librarian at WMGM radio, which had one of the nation's first top 40 formats. Along with her husband Gene she signed them to a management contract.
The Roommates first single was a country hit from the '50s "Making Believe". "Making Believe " received some airplay, but soon disappeared.
On May 3, 1960 the Malis' recorded another new single for their recently established Valmor label. The singer, fourteen year old Cathy Jean, recorded the ballad "Please Love Me Forever." Feeling that something was missing the Roommates were brought in and overdubbed the harmony parts. Cathy Jean had already left the studio by the time the Roommates recorded so they never met her. Feeling that if they had a hit they would have two acts, the Malis' credited both on the label.
"Please Love Me Forever" won Murray the K's Boss record of the Week on WINS in New York City in late 1960. On February 27th it entered the Billboard Hot 100 and by April it was at number twelve, reaching number two in New York. None of Cathy's follow-ups sold many copies.
As a reward for their part in "Please Love Me Forever" The Malises gave the Roommates a free session at the Regent Sound Studio. That night, November 25, 1960 they recorded "Band of Gold," "Glory of Love," and "My Foolish Heart." "Glory of Love" entered the charts and rose to #49. "Band of Gold," made it into the top twenty in New York, but failed to chart nationally for a technical reason.
Before Valmor Records closed down in 1962 a Cathy and the Roommates album was issued. George Rodriguez was added to the Roommates. Versions of "Gee" and "A Sunday Kind of Love" were recorded, but no one was buying. In the spring of 1965 the Roommates disbanded.
Cathy later got married and quit the business. With her children grown Cathy is back. As Cathy Jean Ruiz she sings with a new version of the Roommates and has hosted a Saturday morning talk show on WNYG in Long Island, NY.

The Interesting Link Between the Clown Craze, STRANGER THINGS, and the Success of IT
Stephen King actually said it himself. And it's telling. The guy's insightful. After all, you did read what he had to say about the disappointment that was THE DARK TOWER, right? You then have to ask yourself why IT ended up fairing much better even after many of us might've already seen one little TV 2-part series so long ago.
Clowns Got Scarier and Netflix's Throwback STRANGER THINGS Made Kids Cool Again, Basically
And there you have it. That's been clarified and made official by the master of terror himself, Stephen King, saying these words:
"I think one of the things that really happened was that 1990 miniseries. A whole generation of kids between the ages of 8 and 14 were scared shitless by Tim Curry and when the new one came out it was a chance to revisit that particular experience in their childhood. Then there was this weird viral bulge in stories about creepy clowns. That was in the press all over the place. So it was a number of different things. It was the right movie at the right time."
But what about STRANGER THINGS? King went on:
"I think that STRANGER THINGS might've had something to do with it, but that's kind of an incestuous thing because so much of STRANGER THINGS reminds me of stuff that I've written. But I think that played a part. Obviously, the idea of a bunch of kids fighting a supernatural terror just sort of appealed to people, and they saw a chance to root for the good guys, which doesn't always happen in horror movies."
Makes perfect sense when you think about it. Of course, don't knock the fact that the remake of IT was quite well done. But it certainly helped that there was a throwback or nostalgia mentality behind it. We love the classics. And when they're redone as a way to celebrate them, it's hard to resist paying to see them.
Just an Example of How Previous Work Can Lead to Big Bucks for a Studio (and an Author, of Course)
In all fairness.... The original miniseries, well, didn't get a whole lot of reach (after all, it debuted on TV, and even though Tim Curry holds up extremely well as Pennywise, overall both films lacked the slickness we expect out of horror). But over time...it lasts in the minds and hearts of those who love the age-old story of some kids banding together and wanting to kill a demon clown.
Couple that with the fact that, well, real scary clowns are a true menace, and throwing back with glory thanks to STRANGER THINGS, and you have a recipe for success. Plain and simple.

Week 10 Preview of 'NFL Turning Point'
Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, TCIPF Staff, Turning Point
Editor's Note: NFL Films Senior Producer John Weiss works on the show "NFL Turning Point." Here's his preview on Wednesday's episode, which premieres at 10 PM / ET on NBC Sports Network.
This week on NFL Turning Point, the NFL's leading passer, Peyton Manning is mic'd up in the Broncos' win over Carolina. After sitting out last year with a neck injury, Manning is making a strong bid not only to be the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, but also the league MVP. And while he still may not be at full strength physically, he is at the top of his game mentally. Turning Point will examine the nuances of Manning's game that still make him a master of the position.
Also in the show, the resurgent Saints hold off the unbeaten Falcons. After an 0-4 start, New Orleans has now won four of its past five. And Turning Point will take a look at how the much-maligned Saints defense has helped the team salvage its season, and helped preserve Sunday's crucial win over Atlanta.
Plus, the Cowboys and Eagles meet in a desperation game between two 3-5
teams. We break down how the Eagles attempted to protect Michael Vick early in the game, only to have him leave with an injury. Philadelphia then built a second half lead behind rookie quarterback Nick Foles. But a Cowboys team that has struggled to finish games used a huge Turning Point to jumpstart a comeback, and possibly save their season.
Finally, Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison join Dan Patrick to preview Sunday night's showdown between the Ravens and Steelers.

Bairey Merz, MD, Wins Pioneer in Medicine Award
Noel Bairey Merz, MD, has a stellar academic background, including degrees from the University of Chicago and Harvard Medical School. But she jokes that she got a crucial boost in her pioneering research into women's heart disease by learning from someone with a different sort of pedigree.
Noel Bairey Merz, MD
That would be the legendary bank robber Willie Sutton. When an interviewer asked Sutton why he robbed ranks, he supposedly replied: "Because that's where the money is."
Even early in her career, Bairey Merz, as a rare woman in the male-dominated field of cardiology, was drawn to investigating the mysteries of women's health. But she said the clincher was where $500 million in new research money was in the early 1990s: the new Women's Health Initiative of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
NIH officials "recognized that we should be taking care of everyone. We should be making discoveries that improve human health, not just mankind's," Bairey Merz said, making a favorite point. "52% of the world is female."
Bairey Merz went on to become a towering figure in her field and, in honor of her accomplishments, on Monday, Nov. 2, she was named winner of Cedars-Sinai's annual Pioneer in Medicine award. Bairey Merz—whose multiple titles at Cedars-Sinai include director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center in the Smidt Heart Institute—"has single-handedly established Cedars-Sinai as the world's leading center in women's heart disease," wrote Eduardo Marbán, MD, PhD, executive director of the Smidt Heart Institute, in his letter nominating Bairey Merz for the award.
Marban added that "her success in securing a $25 million gift from Barbra Streisand to name the Women's Heart Center has arguably done more than any other single gift in Cedars-Sinai's history to boost our national and international image."
Bairey Merz grew up mostly in Modesto, California, where her father worked for the local daily newspaper after his service in the Air Force.
She was fascinated by science even as a youngster, and growing up in her largely agricultural community, "the closest thing that I could see to a scientist was a doctor." Going into medicine also was appealing because, in her town, "you knew who the doctors were, they were your neighbors. They were good people, upstanding people in the community."
"My family was always about that," added Bairey Merz, a professor of Medicine. "What did you do today to make the world a better place?"
Long before making a splash in medical research, Bairey Merz also distinguished herself as one of the nation's top women's freestyle swimmers. In 1973, she was one of the very first U.S. women to win a college athletic scholarship, an achievement that put her on the cover of Parade Magazine. Her destination was the University of Chicago, a heavyweight academic institution that quickly embraced Title IX, the 1972 anti-discrimination law that spurred more participation by women in school sports.
At the time, she recalls, the University of Chicago was known as "the place where fun goes to die." But Bairey Merz said she loved the emphasis on the life of the mind. That especially was true after she got a summer job as a lab technician for a female cardiologist then on the faculty, Suzanne Oparil, MD, and witnessed her life as an academic.
"She traveled. She networked with people. She did research," Bairey Merz recounted. "She saw patients—she was the cardiologist to the president of the University of Chicago."
It wasn't until Harvard Medical School, though, that Bairey Merz was sure cardiology was for her. It was still a relatively new specialty in medicine, she said, and "it was just very, very exciting" because "cardiology was saving lives."
"We had treatments. We had therapies, and they were investigating and finding new stuff all the time."
At Harvard she met her future husband, Robert Merz, MD, also a cardiologist. They have three grown daughters—two are MDs and a third is a PhD. Bairey Merz and her husband both did their medical residencies at University of California, San Francisco, and both went on to fellowships at Cedars-Sinai. While her husband went into private practice, Bairey Merz has stayed on an academic track and never left Cedars-Sinai.
Although heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death among women and Americans overall, researchers and clinicians long thought of it as mainly a problem for men. Even today, heart disease in women continues to go undetected because of ignorance of the different symptoms that women often present.
Yet Bairey Merz played a big role in turning the tide. In breakthrough research, Bairey Merz discovered that women, much more often than men, suffer heart disease not due to the clogging of major coronary arteries but because of coronary microvascular dysfunction—the dysfunction of small blood vessels. The affliction often is missed because the symptoms, such as fatigue and shortness of breath, are less obvious indicators—and don't match the widely recognized symptoms more common among men.
Bairey Merz's findings helped catapult her to national leadership in women's heart disease research. She has been involved in more than 300 peer-reviewed studies, and her 203-page CV is filled with honors. She also is chair and primary investigator of what's known as the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation, or WISE, study, trailblazing research sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
Her proudest professional accomplishment, Bairey Merz said, probably is developing the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center. Bairey Merz identified it as the only women's heart health center "that really does the tripartite mission of academic medicine, which is clinical care, research and education." She said it also works with a policy organization co-founded by Barbra Streisand, the Women's Heart Alliance, to cut the time lag between new discoveries and their adoption in medical practices around the country. On the federal level, it advocates for more funding for research.
She pursued her relationship with Streisand after reading a Los Angeles Times story saying that the singer-actor-director was going on tour and would donate the proceeds to a women's health cause. Bairey Merz was caring for a friend of Streisand's at the time, and handed him a packet of development materials to give her. As Bairey Merz explained in an interview with Medscape in 2018, the patient was forgetful, and it took several tries before the packet was delivered.
About two years later, when Bairey Merz was attending a conference in Philadelphia and getting ready to go to sleep at her hotel, the room phone rang and the operator said, "Please hold for Barbra Streisand."
"I almost hung up, because I thought it was a practical joke," Bairey Merz recalled. "But it really was Barbra Streisand. We chatted for about one hour, and that was the beginning of our relationship."
Notwithstanding all of the recognition she's previously received, Bairey Merz said winning the annual Pioneer in Medicine award "is very meaningful. This is a plaque that I walk by on the Plaza Level every day. It is filled with incredibly distinguished names that have really made discovery, improved our patients' lives, added to the reputation of our medical center."
"To join that long list," she said, "is just fabulous."

As the name suggests, we are a traditional British chop house, meaning that we buy all our meat on the bone and butcher it ourselves, using sympathetic preparation methods to bring out the best of each cut.
We try to use all parts of the animal to create interesting and varied menus, ranging from Aberdeen Angus wing-rib or whole roast suckling lamb, to bone marrow crostini and veal faggots. When in season we also offer game, including venison, wild boar and game birds served with all the trimmings.
At Paternoster Chop House in St Paul's we design our dishes according to the best quality ingredients available each day – we buy all our fish directly from selected day-boat fishermen every morning so that we can give you the finest, freshest catch, while at the same time promoting sustainable fishing methods. We also use fruit and vegetables in season, sourced locally where possible, as well as wild-foraged plants such as wild garlic and sea vegetables.
This approach has led to us being awarded a coveted 3* rating by the Sustainable Restaurant Association.
What's more, we make everything in-house: from our hand-cut chips to our freshly baked bread and condiments, which are made to our own unique recipes.

Just to pull you back from the ledge 🙂 – sometimes it's your screen – again and again means that a lighter and lighter one comes until finally you can see to type them in. Unless you're dyslexic – then, good luck with that.
I make fun of (i mean with) kim because she ALWAYS has problems with verification codes.
I can't do them either. I usually get the first ten wrong until I get a dumb people word like "DOG" or "CAT." I'm always amazed if people can get those the first time.
See, it's good to know I'm not alone :). Sometimes they're nearly impossible to read, but other times I just get going and my fingers must end up with some odd combos. I'll even double check 'em and still get them wrong. I may start an "I won't comment on your blog or buy your product because it takes too much brain power" support group.
Maybe you are color blind?


ISLAMABAD: Overseas Secretary Tehmina Janjua on Saturday met with Ambassadors from the European Union and underscored Pakistan's place on the Pulwama assault in Indian occupied Kashmir.
Throughout the assembly, Janjua categorically rejected Indian authorities remarks of Pakistan's involvement within the assault. The overseas secretary additionally raised the difficulty of gross human rights violations by the Indian occupation forces in occupied Kashmir.
Earlier, Overseas Secretary Tehmina Janjua shared Pakistan's perspective with Ambassadors from non-permanent members of the United Nations Safety Council (UNSC) on the unfounded allegations by the Indian authorities following the Pulwama assault.
In her briefing, the overseas secretary pointed in direction of identified techniques of India to divert world consideration from gross human rights violations in Indian occupied Kashmir. She emphasised continued significance of implementing the united states decision on Kashmir.
In a tweet, Overseas Workplace spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal stated Pakistan strongly condemns the persevering with assaults on Kashmiris within the aftermath of the Pulwama assault in Indian occupied Kashmir.
The spokesman additional stated Indian should not use the Pulwama assault as a carte blanche to accentuate its atrocities in opposition to harmless Kashmiris in Indian occupied Kashmir.
No less than 44 Indian paramilitary troopers had been killed on Thursday in Srinagar-Jammu Freeway in Awantipora space of Pulwama district. The troopers had been killed when an improvised explosive system (IED) went off as a convoy of navy autos drove by, some 20 kilometres from the principle metropolis of Srinagar.
Following the Pulwama assault, Kashmiris have been focused in IoK with stories of Indian safety forces making a number of arrests and violent backlash from Hindu extremists.

Our response to Ebola has enabled us to put into action our brand promise, Here for good.
In September 2014 Prudential made significant donations to the two leading NGOs fighting Ebola on the ground, Medecins Sans Frontieres and Save the Children. We have a long-standing commitment to disaster relief, recovery, and resilience in developing countries across Asia, and with a newly expanding life insurance business in sub-Saharan Africa, and as a global financial services group with £500 billion of assets under management, we are determined to play our part in helping West Africa to rebuild and recover after the crisis.
Prudential Africa's footprint is growing across the continent and in each case we work closely in partnership with governments and NGOs on the ground, as we have been doing as part of the UK City Taskforce on Ebola. Prudential is pleased to support this guide, which aims to restore investor confidence in the region and showcase its potential for long term investment.
