Feedback summary – Overview (Agenda Paper 21A)
This paper summarised key messages from feedback received and provides an overview of the comment letters received, fieldwork and other outreach undertaken during the comment period for Exposure Draft ED/2019/7 General Presentation and Disclosures.
Agenda Papers 21B-21J provided a summary of the feedback received from all respondents on topic covered by the ED. Agenda Paper 21K provided a summary of feedback from users of financial statements and Agenda Paper 21L reviews academic and other literature relevant to the proposals. The staff was not asking the Board to make any decisions but rather they asked for feedback and asked that the Board identify areas which would require further research.
Feedback summary – Subtotals and categories – general model (Agenda Paper 21B)
This paper analysed feedback on the proposed "general model" for the structure of statement of profit or loss, set out in the ED.
Most respondents agree with the proposals to introduce defined subtotals and categories in the statement of profit or loss. However, some respondents asked for additional guidance, including guidance on the definition of the categories and the term 'main business activities'. Many respondents expressed concerns about the proposed classification of foreign exchange differences and of fair value gains and losses on derivatives and hedging instruments. In addition, many respondents expressed concerns about the proposed labels for the categories in the statement of profit or loss. Some respondents expressed concerns about defining the operating category as a residual category and the proposed classification of income and expenses from cash and cash equivalents and other investments held as part of treasury activities.
Board members noted that the main proposals of the ED were supported, but that it would also be challenging to address all the feedback received.
With regard to the operating category, Board members were concerned about feedback received on whether the area of main business can be a residual. Board members suggested to examine whether the operating category could be defined explicitly.
With regard to separating financing activities from operating, Board members noted that the feedback supported this, but some feedback did not support having a separate investment category. One Board member thought this category would be relatively small and should therefore be reconsidered. The Vice Chair, however, said, that even if small, it provides relevant information and she therefore supports retaining this category. Board members noted that the definition of the financing category is similar to that of 'solely payments of principal and interest' in IFRS 9, which may lead to confusion.
Board members were also split on providing more detailed guidance in the new Standard—some saying that it should be a principles-based Standard and guidance will develop in practice with others expressing caution that this could lead to diversity in practice and pass the problem to the Interpretations Committee.
For the cash flow statement, Board members suggested that although alignment with the performance statement is part of this project, the Board should not try to address other issues that have arisen in the past with regard to the statement of cash flows. One Board member thought that the labelling in performance and cash flow statements should be consistent, suggesting that the net debt expense should be reported in the statement of performance.
The Vice Chair said that moving foreign exchange results to the financing category, as suggested by some respondents, might not be conceptually correct and the intention of respondents could be to strip those out of operating.
Feedback summary – Subtotals and categories – entities with particular main business activities (Agenda Paper 21C)
The ED proposes requirements for the structure of the statement of profit or loss. This paper analysed feedback on the ED's requirement for entities with particular main business activities, such as providing financing to customers and investing.
Most respondents agree with the proposal to classify in the operating category, income and expenses from investments made in the course of an entity's main business activities and income and expenses from financing activities and income and expenses from cash and cash equivalents if an entity provides financing to customers as a main business activity. However, many respondents asked for additional guidance, including guidance on the terms 'main business activities' and 'in the course of main business activities'. Many respondents disagreed with the proposed accounting policy choice for entities that provide financing to customers as a main business activity and said that the accounting policy choice should be replaced with a practical expedient.
Board members discussed the feedback received on the difficulties to apply the concept of 'main business activity'. Some were surprised at this feedback, as the main business activity should be a matter of fact. It is similar to the IFRS 9 business model and should not change period to period. One member suggested linking the term 'main business activity' to other Standards, like IFRS 8 or IFRS 15. The feedback also highlighted that the main business activity of a subsidiary is not necessarily that of the group.
Some Board members thought the accounting policy choice for presenting financing that is part of the main business activity in operating or financing, should be revisited. It was an area of concern to respondents and could lead to a lack of comparability.
Feedback summary – Subtotals and categories – integral and non-integral associates and joint ventures (Agenda Paper 21D)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the proposals relating to integral and non-integral associates and joint ventures set out in the ED.
Respondents expressed diverse opinions across various aspects of the proposals in the ED. Many respondents did not express an overall view, commenting instead on specific aspects of the proposals. Most respondents highlighted concerns with the proposals including the proposal to identify separately integral associates and joint ventures; the proposed definitions of integral and non-integral associates and joint ventures; and the separate presentation of amounts relating to these investments in the primary financial statements. Overall, there is not much support among stakeholders for the proposals. However, most users agreed with one aspect of the proposal, the exclusion from operating profit of the share of profit or loss from equity-accounted associates and joint ventures.
Most Board members said that the feedback from investors is clear. They do not want the equity method results in income, because it affects margin analysis. Investors also do not think the disaggregation is helpful. One member said that given a lack of demand from investors and that preparers are saying it would be costly to implement, the Board should not pursue this any further. Other Board members made similar statements, with one saying that he was reluctant to have staff spend time trying to rescue this.
Some Board members said it was not clear whether the problem is the definition or whether it simply is not a helpful disaggregation. One member disagreed with the other members and thought that the feedback from users was mixed. She agreed that users did not want his integral – non-integral split in the primary financial statements but that some thought additional disclosure in the notes could be helpful. She said the Board should not drop the idea but that considering it as part of the PIR of IFRS 12 would be acceptable.
The staff were asked if the messages from users was clear. They said that although users said the split "could potentially be interesting" it was a luke-warm rather than enthusiastic response. The fieldwork has shown that it simply did not work and the proposed guidance effectively gave a free choice. It would need a lot of work to remedy this because the guidance fell at the first hurdle, being the assumptions behind what differentiates integral and non-integral associates and joint ventures.
Several Board members said the effort should go into deciding where the line item should be presented, and more thought needs to be given to that fact that it is a post-tax number.
Feedback summary – Disaggregation – general proposals and minimum line items (Agenda Paper 21E)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the general proposals relating to disaggregation set out in the ED.
Many respondents commented on the roles of primary financial statements and notes and most agreed with the proposals. Most respondents commented on the principles of aggregation and disaggregation and the proposals relating to disaggregation and labelling of items described as 'other'. Many did not express agreement or disagreement and instead commented on the need for additional guidance or clarifications, particularly on the proposal relating to items labelled as 'other'. Some respondents commented on the requirements for minimum line items and asked for further guidance and clarification.
Several Board members were surprised, and concerned, that the fieldwork led to less disaggregation than the current model. One member thought that the focus on 'other' might have been a distraction. He was as concerned with items that are appropriately described but should be disaggregated. He, and other members, saw this as an important part of the project.
The Vice-Chair asked if the proposals were designed to elicit more disaggregation. The staff clarified that the disaggregation proposals were intended to apply to the primary financial statements and the notes and that they expected to have more disaggregation. They plan to go back to fieldwork participants to understand how they were interpreting the proposal, particularly given that two participants aggregated expenses into one line.
One member said the term 'clutter' was unclear. It is difficult to translate so the staff should think about how to define or describe it. They should also think about the Disclosure Initiative and the importance of having clear disclosure objectives for the revised Standard. Two Board members emphasised that goodwill is different from other intangible assets.
Feedback summary – Disaggregation – analysis of operating expenses (Agenda Paper 21F)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the proposals relating to the analysis of operating expenses set out in the ED.
Most respondents commented on the proposals relating to the presentation of operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss. Many respondents (mainly accountancy bodies and standard-setters) agreed and some (mainly preparers and their representative bodies) disagreed with the proposal to require an entity to select the method of analysis of operating expenses that is most useful. Many respondents (mainly users, accountancy bodies and standard-setters) agreed and many (mainly preparers and their representative bodies along with a few users) disagreed with the proposal to prohibit an entity from mixing the methods of analysis of expenses. Many respondents (mainly users, standard-setters and accountancy bodies) agreed and many (mainly preparers and their representative bodies) disagreed with the proposal to require an entity to disclose an analysis of expenses by nature in the notes if they present analysis of expenses by function.
A Board member opened the discussion by saying that users on the whole seem open to some flexibility. One member said that users want a full matrix by nature and function. However, Users want to relate the expenses such as depreciation and amortisation to the various functions. He added that his own research had indicated that many entities applying US GAAP apply a mixed approach—i.e. some expenses by nature and some by function. He said that some industries are worried about moving away from that approach and that he has some sympathy for investigating this further. Other Board members supported considering a mixed approach, and should be sensitive to the comments received. Board members would be misleading themselves if they prohibited mixed presentation.
In terms of costs, one member said he had asked many German companies about their ability to meet the proposed requirements. The feedback he received was that some companies had built consolidation systems for one approach and there are large costs to process the elimination entities necessary to meet this requirement for the other approach. It is more complex than simply adding line items to a consolidation package.
One member supported a mixed approach because it was a way of addressing persistence. He emphasised the need to link the elements of the project together. A mixed approach is one way to convey information about persistence.
One member was surprised that a lot of the feedback suggested that it was a free choice. The staff will follow up on this. And two members commented on feedback about analysing restructuring charges and whether restructuring costs should be classified by function or nature.
Feedback summary – Disaggregation – unusual income and expenses (Agenda Paper 21G)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the proposals relating to unusual items set out in the ED.
Most respondents who commented on this question, including almost all users of financial statements, agreed with the Board defining unusual items. However, most of these respondents, including some users, did not agree with the Board's definition of unusual items and made varying suggestions to change it. There was no clear consensus on what an alternative definition should be. Respondents were split evenly on whether or not they agreed with the proposed disclosure in a single note.
Some Board members were critical that respondents had not suggested better definitions. Most Board members thought the issue they were looking for was persistence and providing users with information that would help them forecast the performance of the entity. One member thought that the 'unusual' label is a coarse partition and will not always pick up persistence. It was suggested that more should be done on thinking about persistence so that the type of activity or information that should be labelled unusual could be drawn from that. Others also suggested that entities be required to discuss persistence in a note, rather than labelling individual items as unusual.
A member thought this is one of the most complex issues they face and questioned whether the term unusual could ever be used objectively. He thought that what was unusual reflected the view of management. He also thought that the Board might need to think more radically. Another member agreed and said that the types of disclosures required by IFRS 13 might provide a better direction, because it would be more objective based (rather than focusing on a definition of unusual).
The next steps should be on clarifying the problem they are trying to solve.
Feedback summary – Management performance measures (Agenda Paper 21H)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the proposals relating to management performance measures set out in the ED.
Many respondents, including almost all users, agreed with the Board's proposals to require the disclosure of management performance measures in the notes to the financial statements. However, most respondents raised concerns about the definition of management performance measures, including requiring disclosure of all management performance measures used in 'public communications' being too wide in scope and management performance measures do not include measures that would, in their view, equally benefit from being disclosed in the financial statements. Some respondents disagreed with including management performance measures in the financial statements because in their view non-GAAP measures are either outside the scope of financial statements or do not achieve the objective of financial statements in IAS 1 or in the ED. Some respondents also disagreed with including management performance measures in the financial statements because it would increase the costs of preparing financial statements or it may be challenging to audit such measures. A few respondents disagreed with including management performance measures in the financial statements because many of these measures are subjective. Most respondents agreed with the Board's proposed disclosure requirements including requirement to reconcile management performance measures to the most directly comparable subtotal specified in IFRS Standards. However, there was mixed feedback on the Board's proposal to require the disclosure of the tax and non-controlling interest effects of reconciling items between the management performance measure and the most directly comparable subtotals specified in IFRS Standards. This was because the respondents believe it would be costly to obtain the information and it is a more onerous disclosure requirement or it is contrary to management performance measures communicating a management view to require the information. Most respondents, including most users, agreed with the Board's proposal not to define earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). However, some respondents, including some users, disagreed saying the Board should define EBITDA because it is a widely used measure that would benefit from a consistent definition.
The main issues Board members discussed were scope and auditability. Issues around scope
Some Board members thought the Board should look at calls to expand the scope seriously. The goal is better information, so could the same principles apply to other metrics. One member struggled to see why one metric is defined as an MPM but another metric that is equally as important in that sector would not be an MPM (because it was cash flow or balance sheet related) and therefore have no rigour around it. One member thought this was a good opportunity to link the connected principles in other standards and bring them together to get better principles. Other Board members were hesitant to expand the scope and thought that doing so could put the work undertaken so far at risk.
The issue of auditability was a concern, although some Board members challenged that and thought the information would be auditable. There seemed to be general agreement that they needed to work on the definition of public communication and that the staff should explore more why many respondents thought it would not be possible to audit some of the information.
It was also noted that there was a lot of pushback on disclosing the tax and NCI components of MPMs. However, one Board member notes that a jurisdiction says it has required this information for some time and not encountered problems. That could be investigated further. Members also observed that sub-totals are not automatically an MPM and that although the papers says the Board has not defined EBITDA, it has and this has created confusion. Both issues should be looked at further.
Feedback summary – Statement of cash flows (Agenda Paper 21I)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the proposals relating to the statement of cash flows set out in the ED.
Many respondents did not respond to the proposals but of those respondents that did, many agreed with the proposals. The main concern of those that did not agree was lack of alignment between the statement of cash flows and the statement of profit or loss, which was also raised as a concern by some fieldwork participants. Some respondents requested a comprehensive review of IAS 7.
This paper was not discussed. The staff plan to bring it back at the next meeting.
Feedback summary – Other topics (Agenda Paper 21J)
This paper analysed feedback from comment letters and outreach on the proposals not specifically discussed in questions set out in the ED.
Most of the comments not responding to the specific question identified additional work respondents would like the Board to undertake, mostly as separate projects. Respondents also provided feedback on proposals relating to other comprehensive income and interim financial reporting as well as comments on the proposed implementation period.
Feedback summary – Users of financial statements (Agenda Paper 21K)
This paper analysed feedback from user comment letters and user outreach meetings on the proposals set out in the ED.
All users expressed strong general support for the project. Most users expressed their appreciation to the Board for undertaking this project, for example saying that they expect the proposals will significantly enhance the value of financial statements for investors.
Users particularly welcomed the proposals on the structure of the statement of profit or loss, in particular a defined operating subtotal, and on management performance measures because of the enhanced comparability and transparency of financial information they would provide.
Many users asked for the Board to extend the scope of the proposals, in particular in relation to management performance measures, the statement of cash flows, segment reporting and interim reporting.

A recent and novel Italian hypothesis suggest that the efficacy of the common class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs antidepressants) used in treating patients with major depressive disorder results from their capacity to amplify the influence of living conditions upon mood.
Serotonin is known to increase brain plasticity, which represents potential for synapse growth and maintenance, and which simultaneously renders individuals more susceptible to the influence of their living conditions. Thus, treatment in positive environments has been demonstrated to result in beneficial outcomes, but in stressful environments synapse formation (learning, or consolidation of experience) may lead to a worse prognosis as Aurelia Viglione explained at the annual congress of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology, and which has been paraphrased above.
This hypothesis, which Ms. Viglione and her colleagues dubbed the "undirected susceptibility to change" hypothesis of the mechanism of action of SSRIs, attempts to account for the highly variable efficacy of the SSRIs. Probably every contemporary psychiatric practitioner and primary care mental health provider has prescribed SSRIs, and has met with less than a 50% success rate, or met with adverse side-effects due to excess serotonin expressed everywhere serotonin receptors are abundant, such as in the gastrointestinal system and the central nervous system.
Ms. Viglione writes that despite much research effort, to date there is 'no reliable way to match the best antidepressant to a given individual in accord with the current priority to develop a personalized medicine approach,' which while true, Omega Mind sees it noteworthy to point out that genotyping today, even that provided commercially, direct to consumer via the internet, can identify variant genes (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or SNPs) whose phenotypes do indeed provide reliable predictive models. For example, SNPs in the Serotonin Transporter are virtually determinative when it comes to patient's potential responsiveness to serotonin reuptake inhibitors: rs6265 (Val66Met)–Met is linked to impaired cellular secretion and transport of serotonin, which of course affects serotonergic function (and therefore also serotonin's impact on other neurotransmitter systems), and predicts SSRIs to be a failed strategy. Obviously, pharmacological accumulation of serotonin does not directly address a serotonin transport defect, meanwhile excess serotonin almost invariably produces untoward side-effects deriving from wherever serotonin receptors are abundant, and can blossom into a full-blown serotonin syndrome at a certain dynamic threshold. The degree of symptoms in such an instance can range from mild to dangerously severe. Symptoms include diarrhea, high body temperature, agitation, increased reflexes, tremor, sweating, dilated pupils, seizures, irregular heartbeat, coma and even death.
It is also remarkably notable that serotonergic production and regulation in the gastrointestinal tract exceeds and directly affects that in the brain—and it is itself regulated by a world of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal track, (usually mostly in the colon) collectively called the gut microbiome which harbors 10Xs our total human cellular number, and which possesses 100Xs the gene regulatory function than do we human hosts (who are said to be comprised of some 20 to 26,000 functionally operant genes it seems; in any case you can bet the complexity and health of one's microbiome impacts the highly variable efficacy of SSRIs.
The undirected susceptibility to change hypothesis indeed provides a creative and persuasive explanation for mixed clinical outcomes to be sure. The hypothesis posits that high serotonin levels lead to increased brain plasticity and, consequently, increased potential for changing mood, which can be for the better or worse – depending upon one's emotional response to their surrounding environment. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to construct, model, maintain, remodel and regulate synapse construction and function (information processing and storage.
Ms. Viglione and her colleagues' research achievement certainly adds worthwhile consideration to the already complex decision whether to prescribe SSRIs to depressed patients in particularly unfavorable circumstances. So too, do the techniques and strategies burgeoning from fields involving genotyping—related fields such as Nutrigenetics (the study of how gene variants affect nutrients) and Nutrigenomics (the study of how nutrients impact gene expression) in addition to Functional Nutrition's strategies to target the restoration of core nutritional disturbances. Microbiome Optimization strategies are building a strong evidence base, as is Functional Nutrition's Organic Acid Analysis and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism genotyping.
In some cases, SNPs, or gene variants are only less efficient at doing whatever their un-affected counterpart does. In this case nutrient optimization (increasing the amount of substrate supply, or the supply of nutrient coenzymes and cofactors) can increase the efficiency of the variant enzyme back toward the 'normal range,' and thus may prove therapeutic, though this is not always the case.


While I'd definitely say that the last two On-Air Presentation packages we've seen from Nine were better, I still think this was (for the time - obviously I wouldn't suggest a return to this style in 2018) the strongest look they had since dropping the dots in 2006.
Although when you consider how bad of a shape Nine were back in 2009, they probably needed to reassure the Australian public that things were improving at the network by using the tagline "Welcome Home" and graphics which had a "classic Nine" style to them after the branding disasters such as the removal (and later return) of the dots, "we tv" and the "Choose" package.
Nope, never seen one. Very rare.
A blue and white motif was the theme during the era. The Nine dots became spheres once again with "Welcome Home" the slogan.
Nine Adelaide and Perth then O&O'ed by WIN didnt bought back the dots until March 2010.

Q: a question about $\epsilon$ net of a compact metric space. A subset A of a compact metric M is called a $\epsilon$ net if it satisfies the following conditions
(1)$\epsilon$ dense: the neighborhood of A is the entire M
(2)$\epsilon$ separate: $\forall x, y \in A$, $d(x,y)>\epsilon$
It is a well known fact that for any $\epsilon$, there is a fintie $\epsilon$ net.
And I wonder whether there is an uniform bound for cardinalities of all the $\epsilon$-nets of a given compact metric space(fixed $\epsilon$). May be exist a comapcat metric space,just constructing one, who have a series of $\epsilon$ net and the cardinality of these series of $\epsilon$ net are unbounded.
I think the question is negative and should involve the Hausdorff measure, dimenson and volume, but now I am confused. It will be so nice for some people to give me a answer.

A: Are you asking whether there is always an upper bound on the cardinality of an $\epsilon$-separated set of points in a compact metric space $X$? If so, the answer is yes.
Find a finite $\epsilon/2$-net $N$. Let $S$ be an $\epsilon$-separated set of points. Then every point of $S$ is in $B_{\epsilon/2}(x)$ for some $x\in N$, and no two points of $S$ lie in the same $B_{\epsilon/2}(x)$, so $|S|\leq |N|$.

A: I interprete the universality as follows: For given $\epsilon$, is there a natural number $N=N_\epsilon$ such that for all compact metric spaces $K$ of diameter $\le 1$ there exists an $\epsilon$-net of cardinality $\le N$.
The bound on the diameter is necessary, for otherwise compact intervals in $\mathbb R$ would give counterexamples.
The answer is no: Let $I=[0,1]$ be the unit interval.
On the set $I^n$ instal the metric attached to the norm
$$
||a||=\max_j|a_j|.
$$
Then $I^n$ has diameter $1$. For $\epsilon=1/4$ an $\epsilon$-ball in $I^n$ has at most euclidean volume $1/2^n$, therefore you need at least $2^n$ such balls to cover $I^n$ which has euclidean volume 1.

Three Recipients Named for the 2014 Guelph Arts Council Youth Opportunities Award
By: Sally Wismer
Guelph Arts Council is pleased to announce that the 2014 Youth Opportunities Award will be shared among three of this year's applicants who will offer three quite diverse opportunities for children and youth in Guelph and Wellington County to become in engaged in the arts. The recipients are 21-year-old aspiring artist Nathan Gatten in partnership with established portrait painter Meredith Blackmore, both Fergus residents; the Children's Art Factory led by Guelph installation artist Melissa Mazar; and Guelph Film Festival.
Nathan and Meredith have requested support for a series of free "Try-It" workshops targeted to youth aged 14 to 24 years. These workshops will offer introductory sessions in different media, followed by two sessions with a teacher/mentor. Nathan, whose formal learning has been limited by autism and mitochondrial disease, wants to offer others of his age group the opportunity to experience free arts-based learning and the chance to work with a mentor. Having himself discovered and become engaged in art through the mentorship provided by Meredith, he will now be working with her in the planning and preparation of the workshops as well as assisting with the delivery as he is able. He will introduce sessions and talk about his experience with mentorship. The workshops will take place at Meredith's recently-established STUDIOHERE in Fergus.
The Children's Art Factory has requested support for a collaborative between Melissa Mazar and Guelph youth that will see children engaged in the creation of a piece of "meaningful public art" to be permanently displayed on the side of the building where the Children's Art Factory is located. The art piece will be a moving sculpture of wooden gears and cogs that can be controlled by handles strategically placed close to the ground. The cogs and gears will be available to be painted during the Children's Art Festival at Art on the Street in July 2015. In keeping with Melissa's artistic practice at the Children's Art Factory, there will be no instruction at this event, allowing children to be partners in the art process, to express their own voices, and to "discover the magic and fun of painting."
Guelph Film Festival has requested support for "iCan Make Films," a workshop for teens aged 14 to 18, with a focus on using accessible smart phone and tablet technology to "create innovative, 'guerilla-style' documentary films." The intent is to engage youth to use everyday technology (that they already carry in their pockets) and encourage them to tell stories from their own unique perspective. In the process, the hope is that youth will "find themselves empowered and working without limitation." The workshop will be offered as part of the 2015 Guelph Film Festival and will build on a very successful youth workshop offered during the 2013 festival.
Both Guelph Arts Council and the 2014 jury panel were extremely pleased with the innovative ideas from and the diversity represented by all of this year's applicants for the 2014 Youth Opportunities Award. Included were both young artists and local arts organizations across a wide spectrum of different disciplines, with offerings for several different youth age groups.
Established in 2009 to take the place of a previous youth awards program dating back to 1982, the Guelph Arts Council Youth Opportunities Award is intended to encourage programs that will initiate, enhance or expand opportunities for children and youth in Guelph and Wellington County to experience or become in engaged in the arts. Funds for the award come from the Guelph Arts Council Youth Opportunities Fund managed by the Guelph Community Foundation.
For more information about the award program, contact Guelph Arts Council at (519) 836-3280 or [email protected]

America's gun lobby is "facing its greatest threat yet," said Sebastian Murdock in HuffingtonPost.com: "Generation Z." Two weeks after the deadly shooting in Parkland, Fla., survivors from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High are refusing to let the issue of gun control drop out of the headlines. In Florida, students have traveled to the state capitol in Tallahassee to demand better background checks and other measures, and thousands of schoolkids in other states, including Minnesota and Colorado, have staged class walkouts. Over the next month, there are plans for more rallies, a nationwide school walkout, and a march on Washington, D.C. Spearheaded by "impassioned, articulate" Stoneman Douglas students who know how to harness the power of social media, the budding #NeverAgain movement has a simple message: Don't let us die in our schools. Young people have driven "nearly every major social movement" in recent history, from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, said John Blake in CNN.com. Can America's high schoolers do the same for gun control?
These "traumatized" teens are "entitled to their rage," said Jonah Goldberg in NationalReview.com. The conspiracy theories being floated about the Parkland students—including that they are "crisis actors" paid by anti-gun activists—are "reprehensible." But it's worth remembering that fury is "the enemy of reason." Liberals rightly caution that we shouldn't allow anger to cloud our judgment after terrorist attacks; likewise, Parkland's emotional survivors aren't the best people to drive complex policy discussions. We can't expect teens to fully understand an issue as multifaceted as gun control, said David Harsanyi in TheFederalist.com. What's "cynical" is Democratic politicians and the liberal media using these "grieving children" to push their agenda. Would the kids be afforded so much praise and airtime if they were backing policies less acceptable to the gun-control crowd, such as arming teachers? Of course not.

The Danish Green Card Association (DGCA) is holding a conference on Wednesday October 22 at 17:00 to discuss the general environment for green card holders in Denmark.
The principal topic of discussion at the 2014 Green Card Conference at Gammeltoftsgade 15 in the centre of Copenhagen will be the new political reforms concerning the green card scheme that were agreed to by the government earlier this year. The DGCA contends that the problem with the new rules is that they are being applied retroactively.
"There are so many people already integrated who have a life here now, but they will have to leave because the new laws are retroactive," Muhammad Abu Sayeed, the media co-ordinator for DGCA, told the Copenhagen Post.
In June, the government revealed that the green card scheme would be shortened and the language competency requirements tightened, while more stringent criteria will be applied to the granting of extensions.
Among the guest speakers taking part in the conference are Torben Møller Hansen, the head of new-Dane organisation Nydansker, immigration lawyer Åge Kramp and Bashy Quraishy, a human rights activist who is a council member at the Institute for Human Rights.
Also expected to speak are Aino Birk Vedel, the secretariat head at the local government organisation LO in Copenhagen, and Abbas Razvi, a parliamentary candidate and member of the regional capital authorities, Region Hovedstaden.
Additionally, the DGCA has also organised a demonstration in front of parliament on Monday November 3 at 14:00 to peacefully protest against the new rules.
According to the DGCA, there are up to 7,000 green card holders in Denmark, and this does not include their family members.


Paris Hilton has a new song called "High Off My Love" and she made a video for it.
You know what, Paris? That's fine. Most people don't want you to bubble back up into public consciousness, but there's no reason for you to accept that and wither away as a relic of Kim Kardashian's past.
This is, of course, not the socialite's first time trying to make a career for herself as a pop singer. Nearly a decade ago — yes, a decade — she put out an album called Paris, which makes sense. Her underrated single, "Stars Are Blind," was actually great in the sort of way that reminds you that Blondie is an excellent band and you should really put Parallel Lines on your phone.
Unfortunately, "High Off My Love" is pretty generic and the video isn't better. It's mostly just Paris Hilton in lingerie, sometimes flanked by girls in blonde wigs that are supposed to look like Paris.
The Simple Life, however, remains a modern classic.

Add us on BBM Pin 55DBCBDA for Updates
Rivers State Executive Council has directed the Attorney General of the State to prosecute the 2015 All Progressives Congress ( APC) Deputy Governorship Candidate , Honourable Asita Okorie for the murder of an NYSC member at Akinima in Ahoada West Local Government Area during the March 19, 2016 rerun legislative elections .
Addressing journalists after the Rivers State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Wednesday at the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House , Port Harcourt , Commissioner of Information , Dr Austin Tam-George informed that the council gave the directive in line with the recommendation of the Justice Monima Danagogo Commission of Inquiry into the violence and killings that characterised the March 19, 2016 rerun elections in the State .
The Rivers State Executive Council also accepted the recommendation of the Commission of Inquiry which indicted the Nigerian Army as being associated with various acts of violence ranging from assault through malicious destruction of property to murder .
The Rivers State Executive Council which met on Wednesday also directed the State Attorney General to prosecute one Mr ThankGod Ode for an attempted murder in Ogonokom, Abua Odual Local Government Area .
The Council also directed the Attorney General of the state to prosecute Mr Barry Mpigi for the murder of a pregnant woman whose name was Mrs Baby Nzuuga in Kpite Tai.
He added that the Justice Monima Danagogo Commission of Inquiry indicted several politicians and state institutions over their roles in the destruction of lives and property during the March 19 rerun elections .
The Rivers State Executive Council , therefore , directed the State Attorney General to file cases bordering on the enforcement of fundamental human rights for victims of the acts of violence by the Nigerian Army . These cases are to be filed pro-bono.
The State Executive Council of the State accepted the recommendation of the Commission of Inquiry that the Nigerian Army's participation in the rerun elections was illegal. It further accepted the recommendation that in line with several court judgments , the Nigerian military should not participate in elections .
It will be recalled that Governor Wike set up the Commission of Inquiry on the 16th of April , 2016. The commission submitted its report to the Rivers State Government on 14th June , 2016.

How to design your first Japanese Dragon Tattoo?

1.2.1 Gallery with Japanese Dragon Tattoo ideas
Japanese Dragon Tattoo mythology has always been a significant influence on people. Art and culture take heavily from the myths that came several years ago. Japan has a place for mythology where they accept many entities. Tattoos were once used as protections or as a core symbol for one's life. Right now, tattoos have taken the place of depicting one's love for culture or specific meaning. The Japanese Koi fish tattoo or the Japanese dragon tattoo aren't exceptions. Many people get them done on a daily basis without even knowing their meaning. But these mythical beasts have a crucial role in Japanese mythology and may connote different things.
What depictions may a Japanese Dragon tattoo have?
Japanese Dragon Tattoo
Japanese dragons appear mighty like all other forms of dragons. They have a serpent-like a body, and they take heavily from the Chinese dragons. Rather than fire beings, Japanese dragons represent the realm of water. Which relates to them being wingless and having a snake-like an appearance. Temples and shrines around them are also there in Japan. The dragons are also tied to many stories related to the water bodies that they guard.

The typical Japanese dragon tattoo meaning may be
• Strength, Wealth and Ferocity.
• The Element of Water
• Wisdom
• Luck
• Sexual Passion
Common Japanese Dragon Tattoo designs
Japanese Dragon tattoos are quite popular in Japan as well as in the rest of the world. In Japan, the trendsetter was the prisoners, but now everyone does it all over the world.
Commonly the tattoos are in designs of
Japanese Dragon Tattoo sleeve
• Simple line tattoos on a skin stand out a lot when an artist draws it well. They do not require any shading or other work. Most of these tattoos are very intricate going in depths to bring the shape. The artist often takes the help of one's natural curves to sculpt the twisted look. They especially look great when done on legs or arms.
• Japanese dragon tattoos done with black ink looks excellent as well. Shading is the crucial point to bring in the depth and contours. Utilizing a sleeve and one's chest is a lovely idea. Another excellent body part has to be one's back. The surface area gives the opportunity to create a whole picture. They may add elements of the environment of the dragon to the piece.
• The favorite of people in Japanese tattoo is the use of color. So, we cannot miss out on Japanese dragon pieces that include colored ink. Everything from red to blue looks great on the mighty animal. The color also adds another dimension which makes the tattoo pop and makes it lively. A full arm sleeve is a way to go when doing such a tattoo.
The crucial part will be to choose the Japanese dragon that goes well with the meaning. The internet will be your friend. Check out the tattoo websites that list the implications, and you may choose accordingly. Moreover, try to add your personality into the tattoo to make it a unique piece.

Helping busy people simplify their lives.
Getting organized is simple… but not easy. To keep us grounded in our purpose, I like to operate based on three tenets of sensible organization: 1. Keep only what you need, 2. give each item a home, and 3. put them there!
Since material overload is often the root of all clutter crises, I'm committed to helping clients reduce responsibly and use existing furniture/possessions to meet organizational needs (without accumulating lots of new stuff!). We'll place a special focus on developing solutions that fit into your lifestyle so you can sustain best practices beyond the honeymoon phase.
As for the work itself, I can do the hands-on labor with you, provide upfront coaching and let you do the rest, or a combination of both. Together, we'll carry out a custom organization intervention to get you on the fast track to efficiency, productivity, and peace of mind. Functional organization is not the pursuit of perfection -- it's about being organized enough to achieve your goals.
With deadlines raining down, the last thing you need to be thinking about is where you put the stapler. Establishing a simple, sustainable system of organization will help you be your most productive self at work, leaving more time and brain space for enjoying your off-hours. Offices tend to be one of the spaces most in need of decluttering and organizing, so I have lots of experience helping clients achieve custom solutions to complement their workflow.
Shredding company referrals are available for sensitive papers.
I've seen it all--from mudroom messes to closet catastrophes, I've helped clients work through every nook and cranny of their home or office spaces. If you have a unique organizational need, let's talk about it!
This includes as "small" as your purse, refrigerator, suitcase, utility closet, medicine cabinet, pantry.
I help clients get back to a "clean slate" state by guiding them through the decision-making process about what stays (the things they love or need) and what goes. This includes time and information management as well as help with physical items. Donating or recycling most items that are no longer needed at no additional charge.
As always, the first call is free, and I'm confident that we'll be able to work out a plan of action.

White: Homelessness in Durango - When 'they' are 'us'
Friday, Feb. 23, 2018 3:54 PM
Mayor Dick White
Last Saturday was a typical day in Durango. Even during the holiday weekend, there were three significant events to engage people and, notably, all dealt with marginalized populations. Given the urgency of the issue, I attended the Homelessness Forum over the #MeToo March and the Diversity Dialogue.
The keynote speaker, University of Denver professor Don Burnes, shared a compelling definition from a professional woman who was homeless for years as a child: "Home is a safe, secure, stable place to be, a sanctuary, a place to keep my stuff."
Burnes estimated that several hundred people in La Plata County have no homes, perhaps half of whom are camping, while the rest live in vehicles, couch-surf or otherwise find shelter. There are 545 subsidized low-income housing units in the county, all with six-to-12-month waiting lists, while market rate rentals lie beyond reach of many working poor.
Like #MeToo marchers, many individuals who lack shelter have suffered abuse, leading to a high percentage suffering behavioral health issues. However, it is the intersection of these conditions with poverty that separates homeless people from even larger numbers of individuals coping less visibly with similar personal challenges. Moreover, a critical dimension of homelessness is social isolation, which can create mental health issues even for otherwise robust individuals by limiting their ability to meet the human need for caring relationships.
The immediate challenge for La Plata County and Durango is that even in winter there are about 30 illegal camps on "the hill" above the Tech Center. The sheriff has declined to evict the campers, citing a 2015 court ruling that no-camping regulations violate First Amendment rights if there are no legal alternatives for individuals to meet the fundamental human need for sleep.
At the forum, Sheriff's Office Lt. Ed Aber spoke personally, rather than officially, to share his experience with the camp on "the hill." Over three years, starting as an untrusted law officer, he has built relationships with the campers. Importantly, given a measure of stability, they have built relationships with one another. Beyond five rules initially established by the Sheriff's Office, campers have generated another 15 rules to better maintain order and especially security among themselves, creating a nascent sense of community. Rather than being strewn with litter, the camps now are cleaned up regularly and self-maintained by the residents. Provision of portable toilets also has improved sanitation, and recognition of fire risk has led to a self-maintained ban on fires.
Nationally, experience has shown that providing housing and supportive services to people living without shelter is cost-effective. Reduced visits to emergency rooms, jails and detox centers save much more public money than it costs to provide housing and services that can facilitate transition into other safe and stable living situations.
Housing Solutions of the Southwest is preparing a proposal to secure low-income housing tax credits to build a 30-to-40-unit permanent supportive housing facility on the social services campus near the existing shelter. Part of the proposal is an option for a long-term lease on the city-owned property. Even with funding, however, to develop plans and complete construction will likely take two additional years and will not address the immediate challenge.
Other initiatives face similar time lags. Consequently, Durango City Council and La Plata County Board of County Commissioners are grappling with the need for short-term action. One possibility is to hire a Homeless Programs Coordinator. The coordinator would help develop an integrated approach to homelessness, while facilitating connection of individuals to available services.
Particularly after a very dry winter, our community needs to minimize the fire risk to individuals and the community posed by camping outside of formal campgrounds. At the same time, City Council is loath to approve what could become a "permanent temporary camp" in the city. This reluctance prompted our recent suggestion that providing nightly shelter could meet the immediate First Amendment challenge associated with clearing the camp on "the hill." Neither the BOCC nor the sheriff have yet had an opportunity to respond, but collectively we must decide soon on a plan for 2018.
Durango is an extraordinarily generous community, supporting a host of nonprofit organizations, some of which are on the forefront of dealing compassionately with the poor and the homeless. Can we come together to countenance approaches that will make many uncomfortable, even as we provide comfort for others? At the Homelessness Forum, architect Stuart Ohlson, creator of the portable HHI House (humanitarianhouseinternational.com), opined that Durango is "violently opposed to the reminder of homelessness." Is this true?
I believe that a central issue is perception of unsheltered people as "other." Burnes cited national evidence that no more than about 20 percent of unsheltered people fulfill the common negative stereotype. Local data compiled by the Homelessness Coalition in 2016 show that a large minority have been homeless here for more than a decade. Moreover, only 25 to 30 of 100 winter lunch clients at Manna are homeless, and about 10 of them have jobs? Who are the rest?
"They" really are some of "us."

Prilla Mills in Pietermaritzburg is one of the largest of southern Africa's eight cotton spinning mills – four in South Africa and one each in Swaziland, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique. But size was not what convinced Enrique Crouse, Managing Director of Prilla, to join the Sustainable Cotton Cluster initiative as a member. The big picture did.
The other reason for Prilla's involvement is South Africa's longer term stability and prosperity. Enrique points out that all the developed countries, and the significant developing ones, used to have or still have significant textile and clothing industries. This is due to these industries' capacity to absorb labour, thanks to the low cost of creating jobs and, as a result, create social stability.
The spinning mill converts cotton fibre into yarn that, in turn, will be processed into fabric through knitting, weaving or towel making. The quality of the yarn determines how efficient and cost-effective the fabric formation stage will be. It sounds simple enough, but the hundreds of PhDs already done on the impact of fibre and process variables on the quality and appearance of fabric prove that it's not.
"Cotton is a natural product," emphasises Enrique, "which means that it is not uniform." For example, in a batch of 28mm cotton fibre, it can be expected that as much as 8% of the fibres will be shorter than 12mm. The spinning mill therefore tests the length, length distribution, strength, maturity, fineness and colour of the fibre it buys, each of which has an effect on the process. Only with a thorough understanding of the fibre, can the blending be done that ensures the mill produces a consistent product efficiently.
In addition to the characteristics of cotton fibre, the multiple stages in the sequential production process (each impacting on the next), as well as the machine type, condition and maintenance further add to the complexity of producing high quality yarn.
Different spinning mills produce different products for different customers. These include ring-spun (compact, combed, carded), open-end and folded yarns. The latter, for instance, is used primarily to make towels.


It has been a while since I wrote an update about the website. Hopefully, you have noticed some changes.
The first change is we have new hosting. This has allowed us to mostly fix the search feature for sources. There is a better way, but that will require some funds to make happen. For now, you should be able to use the search bar located in the header to find the source you are looking for. It is not 100%, but it is dramatically better than before when the source you were looking for appeared on page 2 or 10.
Although we kept our current theme the layout is different. We went with a three column approach to reduce scrolling and get more info on the opening screen. We dropped some features that nobody cared about and tried some new things. First, we added the feature where you can see each new source as we add them to the website. We also added a Google search bar to dig deeper into the website as it now has close to 3000 pages.
Just today, we added a syndicated political news feed that will bring content from Left-Center to Right-Center sources by our criteria. This is experimental and if it starts displaying news that is opposed to our mission it will be gone. We are also adding news directly to our page through syndication which allows us to get big stories up much faster and from reputable sources. As always we will never publish anything from a purely left or right source.
We also separated our menu into two different sections, one with info about the site/feedback etc. and a separate bar just for bias. There were complaints that the menu bar was a jumbled mess. We agreed and hopefully this make it easier to navigate.
Finally, we unfortunately did increase our advertising on the sidebars. It really is the only way we can keep this operation running and growing. We appreciate the donations and need them as well, but advertising generates steady expected income that can be put back into the website. I wish one day to get rid of all ads and rely solely on donations, but to grow we need funds now. Not a hint, but there is a link on the sidebar. Wink, wink.
That is all for now. As always we welcome suggestions.
I think the "Recently Added Sources" should go to the top of the right-hand column since the site's main purpose is to be a catalogue of news sources by bias and reliability.
