Recognizing the problem is more important than identifying the solution, because the exact representation of the problem leads to a solution.
Where do we start? It's all about an event where we want to publish what's happening with a program (like Toris or Vola) to the internet. So we need all competitions in a clear structured schedule, which we can best provide with additional information.
Because Vola and also the official results software of FN "Toris" can not publishing everything, we have an online schedule at equi-score.de available, where we can create all the competitions. Simply identical as in Toris, also with groups e.g. 04/1. Here we also have the opportunity to put more information on the schedule, such as show program or a subdivision into jumping and dressage arenas. Likewise, we can consider sponsors or championship ratings. Anyone who want show just a simple schedule with competitions, can upload the existing schedule simply by pressing a single button.
A complete schedule will be generated automatically from all existing competitions. This is the base for the later start and result lists.
During setup, the layout and the language in which the pages should be displayed are also queried. The available layouts are only a selection. On request it is also possible to create individual layouts. Not only the colors, but also the complete layout can be changed. Due to the template based engine there are no restrictions in the design. For the standard Layout the colors can be defined and stored for later events.
A custom Analytics tracking code is also available and for sure a caching algorithm so that the site does not slow in case of heavy user traffic.
Now everyhting is prepared online. Just have to find the data somehow the way to the Internet and then it would be done. Since the programs themselves have no interface to equi-score.com, we use a program that takes over this work for us. The latest version is always available in the equi-score.com BackOffice. If there are any updates available, you will automatically be notified after starting the program.
When the program starts, it automatically connects e.g. with Toris and already shows the competition overview of the current event. Unfortunately, we can not do anything with it, because the upload program does not know at this point where it should copy the data. For this we can login with the same data as for the BackOffice. After the successful login the selected event will be queried and the buttons in the program will become active after each competition.
Click on the "Upload" button and the competition will be published to the Internet. In order to copy the current competition state to the internet at regular intervals, a competition can be set to "Automatic". Any number of competitions can be set to automatic, depending on how much you need for parallel competitions in different arenas.
Now some questions will be for sure: "This will work only if I have a fast DSL connection?". This is a problem that we often had to learn in practice, that there is no internet at the showground and most of the time at the show office and UMTS remains a dream. The upload program of equi-score.com is prepared for such cases and packs all the data, so it in the automatic mode we copy just 2-3 kByte per minute (!) to the Internet. Fortunately, in our case, every GPRS connection should be sufficient, which means that if you can make calls via your mobile phone, you can also publish results via a stick and GPRS. equi-score.com also waives any special requests regarding access / ports to the Internet. If you can visit the equi-score.com website, you can also upload results, so easy!
Schritt 3 - and now?
In short, that's it! There are still many feature that we will not go into here in this short review. But after step 1 and 2, we are already ready, we are now able to publish results.
Everything has been automated as far as possible. The system automatically recognizes which competitions are "live", whether start times have been set for riders, whether prizes and placements exist, or whether judges are given and in which positions they are. Everything is designed to be as easy as possible and uncomplicated to use! We want you to be relieved and not takeing care about another technical issue!
Nothing, the use of equi-score.com is completely free since April 2013. Our running costs for the operation of the servers are financed by advertising on the results pages.
Do you have any questions or did we got your interest? Write us or call us without obligation, we also call you back!

Nigeria and Beyond: Role of Rating Agencies in post-COVID-19 Era
Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) play a major role in the Financial Markets through the reduction of information asymmetry amongst lenders, investors and issuers, regarding the credit worthiness of Companies, States, Governments and Countries. Thus, CRAs have become a cardinal part of the global financial landscape and its ecosystem.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria issued the Credit Rating Companies Rules, 2012 for investors' protection in the issuing of debt securities and public issue of shares. Currently, there are three major players in Nigeria's Credit Rating industry, duly approved by SEC. They are: DataPro Limited, Augusto & Co Ltd and Global Credit Ratings Co Ltd. All three Companies commenced operations as Ratings Agencies in the early 2000s.
The importance assigned to the ratings of participants of all Financial Markets cannot be overemphasized and overestimated. Simply put, it will be difficult for Capital Markets to function effectively and efficiently without the Rating Agencies. As financial firms and bond issuers begin to rely more on real-time analytics and data analyses, CRAs must also adopt and adapt to new technologies and approaches to understanding the Capital Market.
In order for Nigeria to regain economic stability during and post-COVID-19 pandemic period, there is great and urgent need for collaboration and synergy between the public and private sectors with active involvement of the CRAs, Otherwise, it will become an onerous and herculean task.
It must also be noted that big data along with new methods of analytics can help cushion the effect of the economic downturn. Obviously, the possibilities of big data in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are very exciting and germane for financial institutions (including banks), organisations and Credit Rating Agencies. The global big data and business analytics markets was valued at 169 billion U.S dollars in 2018 and is expected to grow to 274 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.
In recent years, CRAs have placed big data at the centre of their strategy, and are investing heavily in developing their analytic proficiency. In 2015, S&P Global, then called McGraw-Hill (the parent company of Standard & Poor's) purchased SNL Financial, a data-driven financial information firm, in order to bolster their data analytics offerings in the years ahead. According to S&P Global 2015 Annual Report, "both S&P Capital IQ and SNL possess strong and sophisticated content delivery platforms". In addition, "the combined team is now determining how to most effectively consolidate into one best-in-breed product platform" (Vuk Magdelinic, 2018).
Chris Iervolino, a research director at Gartner, stated that the ability to incorporate analytic tools directly into financial systems allows companies to turn big data into relevant information. This will now allow firms (including Rating Agencies) in the Capital Market to reduce latency in the completion of a transaction and enhance their ability to derive value from their data more quickly and accurately in a cost effective and operational efficient manner.

The poor pound. It was really having a good morning yesterday, rising against the euro as currency exchange investors acted on the good prospects for the fourth quarter figures which were to be released later that day.
Most analysts expected that the growth figures would show between 0.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent, but the acutal total came to a rather more feeble 0.1 per cent. So. The recession is over – but by a whisker.
The pound, unsurprisingly, took a plunge after the news . It fell by 0.6 per cent against the dollar and now many are wondering what first quarter GDP will look like. Will it, fear some, fall back to negative growth? After all, it wouldn't have far to fall.
Still – at least growth did hit the positive numbers! Could have been in the minus!
Will the United Kingdom be given the official thumbs up later today? Could it, will it really be true that the economy left the recession in the fourth quarter?
Economists, analysts, experts and the rest are all expecting a level of growth that is enough to say that the exit took place. Over on the foreign exchange market, the pound has already gained on the expectations in this morning's early trading activity.
It is unlikely that the forecasts are wrong, but still – there is an air of nervousness as to what the number will be. If growth is weaker than expected then the pound is likely to retreat back down.
So: fingers crossed, ears sharpened and eyes peeled…..
Shares, mainly in the financial sector, fell in this morning's early trading as the big banks deal with US President Obama's major plans for the banking sector in the US. HSBC, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas – they all took a hit this morning as investors acted nervously. Mr Obama plans to limit the amount of profit that large banks may make and may even split up some of the largest corporations.
The foreign exchange market is looking equally jumpy – investors have been widely selling the dollar and heading over to the yen. Meanwhile, the pound took a hit last week thanks to weak retail sales figures. However, this morning it edged up again as investor risk appetite improves slightly. The sterling gain will remain limited until latest GDP figures are released tomorrow. Will they call below forecast or be better than expected?
China to become Second Largest World Economy?
It doesn't seem fair, does it. While the UK is struggling with growth levels and getting out of the minus zone, China is busy entering the double figures!
To clarify: China's GDP grew to over 8 per cent in 2009 with the final quarter over 10 per cent compared with the year before. 10 per cent?! The UK would be lucky to see that kind of growth in 2010, let alone the year after that! So what is going on?
Well, China did experience a downturn at the end of 2008 but perhaps not as extreme as was felt in the UK. No big news there – many countries experienced a less extreme downturn because they had been a bit more careful than the UK in the years before.
In addition, China put a massive stimulus package in place last year, which put the economy back in the black nice and quickly. Now, they are in the running (say some economists) to take over from Japan as the world's second largest economy. Not bad, for a country that is still classed as 'developing'.
However, there is a downside to the growth factor: it is happening so speedily that there is now risk of too much inflation. Check how the markets have reacted to China's news – is the pound's recent strength in jeopardy?
Welcome to Tuesday! And in today's markets, investors are seen to be a little on the careful side as they wait for important earnings data from the US. Also, they are waiting for Mervyn King (Bank of England chief) to make a key speech this evening, in which they hope he will say something about the current QE programme – will it be brought to a close soon?
They ('they' being currency exchange, CFD, Futures traders and all the financial markets) are also keen to hear something about Britain's interest rates – will the Bank raise them soon? If they do, this would give a clear sign that things are looking up!
So – not surprisingly, the FTSE 100 opened, as expected, down.
Apparently it will be crucial for governments (including that of the UK) to focus on pubic debts in the coming year. Tell us something we don't know about, Mr Strauss-Kahn aka head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)!
Mr Strauss-Kahn made a general warning to all developed nations that they ought to be careful about exiting current fiscal stimulus plans, as doing so too quickly could cause another downward turn.
Meanwhile, emerging economies (is China really still classed as emerging?) in Asia are leading the way for the recovery, said Mr Strauss-Kahn. Overall though, he said that the IMF predict that the global economy will grow by 4.1 per cent in 2010.
Over in the currency exchange market, the euro stayed weak in early trade in the London session. It reached to below 88 pence against the pound meaning its weakest point in four months. Most experts warn that Greece's fiscal woes are the main reason for the euro's performance.

Lufthansa Celebrates A380 Service To Houston With A Fare Sale!
Lufthansa is set to begin A380 service between Frankfurt and Houston in August and is marking the occasion with a fare sale. Fares from Houston to most European destinations range between $1200 to $1450 and are available for a limited time.
If you have never flown on an A380, I would recommend that you try it. I flew on the A380 to Frankfurt on trips last year and enjoyed the ride. Very quiet and very big would be 2 appropriate ways to describe the aircraft. The aircraft even has cameras located throughout the fuselage so that you can watch external views during take off, landing and even during the flight on your Inflight Entertainment System. You can see an example of these videos below.
Tickets must be purchased 14 days in advance of departure date.
Saturday night stay is required.
Travel date changes are allowed, but are charged $250 per change.
For more information on specific fares between City pairs, please visit the Fare Sale webpage.
Nice touch capitalizing a so it looks like A Fare instead of a sale. Back to FT.
@Andre maybe you would recognize that every other first letter of each word in the title is also capitalized so not really a nice touch at all, but thanks all the same. BTW, the business fares you are referring to are in the $1500s for thanksgiving from the east coast. You make a weak comparison when trying to compare fare sales that are typical during q4 holidays to fares during peak summer travel. Nice try though.
I actually have an award flight on this aircraft in Aug from IAH to FRA in business class…looking forward to it!
going forward, I'll specfically state the class of the fare sale so RSS feeds or other sources dont make a post look like something that its not. thanks!

Fougasse is a French Bread which is a market specialty in the south of France. It is known for its unique shape of slashing the dough and stretching it to resemble a tree.
The first time I came across Fougasse (pronounced as Foo-Gaas) was at Varada's space. I later on found various versions with different combinations of spices and herbs. Since my kids are fond of olives, I tried this bread with chopped olives and the result was a super hit with my family and friends.
In half a cup of warm water, add sugar and yeast. and set aside in a warm place for the yeast solution to froth up.
In a mixing bowl, add the flours, salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped olives and mix well.
After the yeast solution has frothed up, add it to the flour mixture and mix to get a sticky and elastic dough. (I used the stand mixer and worked for about 10 minutes to get the sticky dough).
Oil a bowl, and place the dough in a warm place for about 2 hours, so the yeast can work its magic.
After the dough has doubled, place it on a floured surface and stretch it using your hands. Make a rectangle which is about 1 cm thick and place it on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
Imagine a center vein like that of a leaf and slash 3-4 diagonal cuts on either side of the center vein. (See picture for clarity). Brush it with milk and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes while the oven gets preheated.
Place the baking tray with prepared dough in the oven and bake for 18 minutes. I broiled for a couple of minutes for a darker hue.
Remove and slice it as needed. Dip it in melted butter and enjoy.
Its in my to do list,you made it so perfectly.Addition of olives make the bread even more tastier..
So glad you found a version your family likes. There are so many versions and flavors of this bread. Turned out super.
Fougasse is our family favourite, love them topped with loads of cheese.
dip in melted butter...i melted at that line..
Superb bread, taste even more delicious with cheese.
I have wanted to make this for a while now. You are tempting me to try it real soon.
Looks amazing Harini, I have whole lot bookmarked!
Looks beautiful!! i too baked them, but a sweet version with orange-blossom water!!! Looks perfect!
I have also bookmarked this recipe from Varada's space! I am yet to try it...Your looks so good. Love the olives in the bread!
Beautifully done fougasse. I love teh idea of using chopped olives sure my kids will love it.

When you initially find yourself needing some sort of legal assistance, you may worry about being able to hire a lawyer. Don't panic! It's not that difficult, although it can seem intimidating. Read on to learn more.
A bad decision to make is picking the first lawyer who comes your way. Be certain you research properly, since there might be bad consequences if you don't do that! Get all the information you can about those you're considering hiring.
Make sure you have a fee schedule for any lawyers you are thinking about retaining. You will see that the more experience a lawyer has, the higher you will have to pay. Before hiring his or her services, it is best to know the amount an attorney will cost. After the proceedings have begun, you don't want to lose your lawyer.
Check to make sure your lawyer is available to answer your calls or emails. Having a lawyer that is hard to contact is a common issue. You might pull out your hair if you have to wait too long. If you are contemplating a divorce hire the Finest divorce lawyer to help you map out the entire plan.
Before you go out to get a lawyer, make sure you know why you need legal representation. Are you 100 percent sure that you require the services of an attorney? Divorces, criminal charges or being part of a lawsuit mean you do. If these are not areas you are generally concerned with, you could very well need the expert opinion of a lawyer regarding finances or business, even.
Remember they work for you, although take heed of your lawyer's advice. Make sure that you do not keep any feelings hidden, as you should express everything. They want to help you, so speak up.
Never be afraid of asking your lawyer any questions you have. If you have chosen a fair and good lawyer, he will understand your anxieties and will take the time to explain how things work and how they are progressing. Consider hiring a different attorney if your lawyer does not answer your questions.
Make a log of each interaction that you make with a lawyer. Write down everything from the time and date to whether cash was exchanged. This will allow you to take on any problems you may have in the future like dealing with fees or bills you don't agree with.
Contact your local bar association to ensure no complaints have been filed against the attorney, before hiring an attorney. If you find one or two, you shouldn't be too worried. However, if you find more than that, you may want to think of looking elsewhere.
Consider how the people who work in the law office treat you. If the receptionist is friendly, when you contact the office, observe how fast your message is returned, and see. You should find another lawyer if the staff of your lawyer's office is not returning calls quickly or treating you politely.
It is important that you get along well with your lawyer. It does not matter how experienced your lawyer is, if you don't feel comfortable with them, things are not going to work out. Follow your instincts and choose a lawyer who has a good personality. Likewise, since your legal concern has to do with family law, hire the right Family law attorney.
When you learn about the various lawyers out there and all of the legal issues they handle, you will find that everything falls into some simple groups which are easy to understand. Begin phoning around and asking questions to get started on your search for a lawyer. Good luck in all of your endeavors.
While some have unsavory words for lawyers, the fact remains that they are an integral part of our society. Something unexpected may happen to you and you could even find yourself searching for a lawyer to work with. The lawyer you pick needs to win your case, so pick wisely. Here are some tips for working and selecting with your lawyer.
Don't just choose the first lawyer you come across. Because lots can be at stake, be sure to research thoroughly. Ask others, and find out the things you want to know about lawyers. If you are facing divorce issues, be sure to hire the right Family law and divorce attorney.
A lawyer is a must if you're charged with a crime. You mustn't try to defend yourself because ignorance of the law could cause you to break it. Lawyers can deal with it quickly and correctly.
Make sure your lawyer is easy to reach. Many people who hire lawyers complain about the difficulty of reaching their lawyers. If your attorney is off playing golf, you would not wish to be left wondering about what could have happened.
If you are not comfortable with the solution your lawyer suggests, you should consider the advice your lawyer shares with you but do not hesitate to choose a different course of action. You should tell them if you feel uncomfortable about something. They should always care about your interests, however, you're just one of their many cases.
If anything about them makes you uncomfortable, don't pick a lawyer. This goes for the fee arrangement, too. When you give them a retainer, don't just hand over a blank check. Get an cost estimate and do not let the lawyer have control over your wallet as well as the case.
If you need a lawyer for a business matter, ask other people in the same business for recommendations. Companies who provide lawyers with services will probably be able to provide you with several good lawyer choices. If you need a lawyer for your small business, talk to other small business owners who have run into the same issues. The people in business who regularly deal with the law likely have a more informed opinion about lawyers than other people would.
Record every time you interact with your lawyer. You should keep track of specifics such as time and date. Note topics discussed and money paid. Keep tabs on your legal bill. This can help with understanding issues later, such as high fees.
Know what your budget is. Perhaps you are completely right, but can you afford to prove it? As you interview potential lawyers ask about their fees upfront. Speak with them about what you are expecting to spend and achieve. Make sure you find out what unexpected things could happen to increase your costs.
You want to have the best communication possible with your lawyer. Learn the deadlines and make sure all of the paperwork is ready to go. This will give you the best chance to win your case.
Before you look for an attorney, make sure you understand your legal matter. You need to pick the best attorney for your case, so you have to understand the issue involved. Research your issue. This will help you make the best choice.
Before hiring him or her, always meet with a lawyer. This will allow you to determine whether or not the lawyer presents a professional appearance and has a personality you can work with. Hiring a lawyer without meeting first can be a huge mistake. This will also allow you to see how comfortable you are around your lawyer.
If their family member dies, family members can sometimes get compensation from employers. Workman's Comp benefits workers and their family members. Your lawyer should be able to help you if you are confused about what paperwork needs to be done and what steps taken.
A good lawyer is necessary if you need help with a legal problem. They work hard to help us keep legal issues under control. Use the given tips to find a lawyer that can represent you in your time of need.

Liduanian mydowogy is de mydowogy of Liduanian powydeism, de rewigion of pre-Christian Liduanians. Like oder Indo-Europeans, ancient Liduanians maintained a powydeistic mydowogy and rewigious structure. In pre-Christian Liduania, mydowogy was a part of powydeistic rewigion; after de christianisation mydowogy survived mostwy in fowkwore, customs and festive rituaws. Liduanian mydowogy is very cwose to de mydowogy of oder Bawtic nations and tribes and is being considered a part of de Bawtic mydowogy.
Romuva sanctuary in Prussia. From Christoph Hartknoch's Awt- und neues Preussen (Owd and New Prussia), 1684.
The first bits about Bawtic rewigion were written down by Herodotus and Tacitus. In de 9f century dere is one attestation about Prussian funeraw traditions by Wuwfstan.
Surviving information about Bawtic paganism in generaw is fragmented. As wif most ancient Indo-European cuwtures (e.g. Greece and India), de originaw primary mode of transmission of seminaw information such as myds, stories, and customs was oraw, de den-unnecessary custom of writing being introduced water during de period of de text-based cuwture of Christianity. Most of de earwy written accounts are very brief and made by foreigners, usuawwy Christians, who disapproved of pagan traditions. Some academics regard some texts as inaccurate misunderstandings or even fabrications. In addition, many sources wist many different names and different spewwings, dus sometimes it is not cwear if dey are referring to de same ding.
Liduania became Christianized between de end of de 14f century and de beginning of de 15f century, but pagan rewigions survived for anoder two centuries, graduawwy wosing cuwturaw infwuence and coherence. The wast conceptions of de owd rewigion survived approximatewy untiw de beginning of de 19f century. The rewics of de owd powydeistic rewigion were awready interwoven wif songs, tawes and oder mydic stories. It was difficuwt to have a whowe, sowid view about Liduanian mydowogy. Anoder difficuwty in dis process is dat Liduanian mydowogy was not static, but constantwy devewoped, so dat it did not remain in de same form over de wonger periods usuawwy treated by mydowogists.
Many schowars preferred to write deir own reconstructions of Liduanian mydowogy, based awso on historicaw, archaeowogicaw, and ednographic data. The first such reconstruction was written by de Powish-speaking Liduanian historian Theodor Narbutt at de beginning of de 19f century. Two weww-known attempts at reconstruction have been attempted more recentwy by Marija Gimbutas and Awgirdas Juwien Greimas.
The most modern academics expworing Liduanian mydowogy in de second hawf of de 20f century were Norbertas Vėwius and Gintaras Beresnevičius.
Liduanian mydowogy is perhaps cwosest to Latvian mydowogy, and according to de prevawent point of view, Liduanians shared de same myds and basic features of deir rewigion wif de Owd Prussians. On de oder hand, individuaw ewements have much in common wif oder mydowogicaw systems, and especiawwy wif dose of neighbouring cuwtures.
There is a Finnic Mordvin/Erza dunder god named Pur'ginepaz which in fowkwore has demes resembwing Liduanian Perkunas. " Sparks fwy from de cartwheews and de hooves of fiery-red horses of Pur'ginepaz, de Erza dunder god, when he drives across de sky " (Yurtov, A. 1883. Obraztsy mordovskoi narodnoi swovesnosti. 2nd ed. Kazan, uh-hah-hah-hah. p 129). In severaw mydicaw songs de dunder god Pur'ginepaz marries an eardwy girw Litova (Lituva, Syrzha, etc.) (Jakov, O. 1848. O mordvakh, nakhodiashchikhsia v Nizhegorodskom uezde Nizhegorodskoi gubernii. Sankt Peterburg. p 59–60) These awso cwosewy resembwe de Vedic Parjanya.
Pre-Christian mydowogy is known mainwy drough specuwation and reconstruction, awdough de existence of some mydowogicaw ewements, known from water sources, has been confirmed by archaeowogicaw findings. It is refwected in fowk tawes, such as Jūratė and Kastytis, Egwė de Queen of Serpents and de Myf of Sovijus.
The next period of Liduanian mydowogy started in de 15f century, and wasted tiww approximatewy de middwe of de 17f century. The myds of dis period are mostwy heroic, concerning de founding of de state of Liduania. Perhaps two de best known stories are dose of de dream of de Grand Duke Gediminas and de founding of Viwnius, de capitaw of Liduania, and of Šventaragis' Vawwey, which awso concerns de history of Viwnius. Many stories of dis kind refwect actuaw historicaw events. In generaw, dese myds are cowoured by patriotism. Awready by de 16f century, dere existed a non-unified pandeon; data from different sources did not correspond one wif anoder, and wocaw spirits, especiawwy dose of de economic fiewd, became mixed up wif more generaw gods and ascended to de wevew of gods.
The dird period began wif de growing infwuence of Christianity and de activity of de Jesuits, roughwy since de end of de 16f century. The earwier confrontationaw approach to de pre-Christian Liduanian heritage among common peopwe was abandoned, and attempts were made to use popuwar bewiefs in missionary activities. This awso wed to de incwusion of Christian ewements in mydic stories.
The wast period of Liduanian mydowogy began in de 19f century, when de importance of de owd cuwturaw heritage was admitted, not onwy by de upper cwasses, but by de nation more widewy. The mydicaw stories of dis period are mostwy refwections of de earwier myds, considered not as being true, but as de encoded experiences of de past. They concentrated on moraw probwems, and on a heroic vision of de past, rader dan on individuaw heroes, who very often even wacked proper names, being referred to as "a duke", "de ruwer of de castwe", etc.
Stories, songs, and wegends of dis kind describe waws of nature and such naturaw processes as de change of seasons of de year, deir connections wif each oder and wif de existence of human beings. Nature is often described in terms of de human famiwy; in one centraw exampwe (found in many songs and stories), de sun is cawwed de moder, de moon de fader, and stars de sisters of human beings. Liduanian mydowogy is rich in gods and minor gods of water, sky and earf.
Liduanian myds often reveaw de inner heroism of a human being, symbowising dis inner being in terms of various feats in de mystic wands on de opposite side of de Earf, or in de sky of de Souf powar regions, commonwy describing dese pwaces as "The Land over Aww de Seas" and "The Cosmic Underwater Kingdom", respectivewy.
Myds dat tawk about probwems of morawity are de simpwest, and are cwose to popuwar fabwes common to aww European nations. The main idea in dese stories is dat a Goddess or God often visits peopwe to guide dem in moraw qwestions, but peopwe are not abwe to recognize her / him. According to dese stories, a human shouwd wisten to his or her inner voice of harmony and justice, in order to act morawwy in de presence of a God / Goddess, for peopwe do not know when and under what circumstances dey are under his gaze. Some schowars stress de mixed Christian and pre-Christian character of dese stories.
Liduanian mydowogy serves as a constant inspiration for Liduanian artists. Many interpretations of Egwė - de Queen of Serpents were made in poetry and visuaw art. In modern Liduanian music powydeistic rituaws and sutartinės songs were source of inspiration for Bronius Kutavičius. Owd Liduanian names, rewated to nature and mydowogy are often given to de chiwdren, uh-hah-hah-hah.

Politicians trust Babalawos more than Security officials- DSS DG
The Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, has said that most politicians, particularly state governors, do not trust security officials and would rather go to spiritualists and native doctors otherwise known as Babalawos for protection.
Bichi said this when he spoke at the retreat for incoming governors organised by the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) that held in Abuja on Monday April 29th.
"I joke with politicians that you people trust the marabouts and babalawos more. Once someone tells you nothing will happen to your seat and it happens, you just trust that person in all crisis." he said
He said there was no lack of Intellegence in the country but rather a lack of will to combat the security challenges.
According to Bichi, some of the security challenges in Nigeria is as a result of many politicians' distrust of security officials.

Marine ecosystems are overwhelmingly complex. The trait-based method offers a simple way to describe, model, and understand complex marine systems. In a new paper we describe the approach taken by the Centre for Ocean life and illustrate it with examples from our recent work.
Trait-based ecology is a rapidly developing branch of ecology. It describes ecosystems as consisting of individuals rather than species, and characterizes individuals by a few key traits that are interrelated through trade-offs. The fundamental idea is that the function of an ecosystem is shaped by the traits of individual organisms rather than by which species the organisms belong to. By focusing on just a few key traits we can reduce the complexity of the myriad of species in an ecosystem to predict the overall ecosystem function, and predict when and where specific trait combinations are successful. Our approach integrates laboratory experiments, mathematical modelling, and analysis of observational data. We describe the four components of the trait-based approach: (i) the identification of key traits and quantification of their trade-offs for the main life-forms in the ocean; (ii) the development of trait-based community and ecosystem models based on key traits and associated trade-offs; (iii) testing the models by comparing predicted trait distributions with those that can be observed in nature; and (iv) quantify ecosystem functions and assess the effects of environmental change from observed or modelled trait distributions. Our description is illustrated with multiple examples of life in the ocean from unicellular plankton to fish.


Is Black Rice Bad For You? - Here Is Your Answer.
Is Black Rice Bad For You?
Black rice is not bad for you. In fact, it is extremely wholesome and filled with antioxidants and other nutrients that keep your brain, liver and heart healthy.
One cup of black rice contains 160 calories and only 34 grams of carbohydrates, and in that there is also 2 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein and 4% of the RDA of iron. When compared to brown rice, which is generally recognized as the healthy rice option, black rice contains less overall calories and carbohydrates while giving an increased amount of protein and fiber.
Aside from these nutrients, black rice boasts a ton of antioxidant benefits. With its dark purple pigmented color, it specifically contains the flavonoid anthocyanin which acts as a powerful antioxidant. Anthocyanin is widely known for its immune boosting properties and ability to reduce the risk of various diseases including heart disease. High blood pressure, colds, and urinary tract infections have also been treated effectively with anthocyanin-rich foods. Anthocyanin further offers anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-cancer effects. Research shows that anthocyanin can delay mental aging and the decrease of mental capacity by reducing oxidative stress on the brain.
The fiber content in black rice also plays a great role in heart health. Fiber helps to metabolize cholesterol and prevent the formation of plaque in the arteries that forms atherosclerosis and leads to a future heart attack or stroke. This increased metabolism of fats also helps prevent the development of fatty liver disease. Antioxidants also benefit the liver. Since fiber is filling and generally decreases the likelihood of overeating by making you feel satisfied earlier in your meal, weight loss is another possible benefit of eating black rice. Lastly, black rice can be helpful in preventing and managing diabetes by cleaning the blood and slowing sugar absorption.


Our industry is heavily regulated, and for that reason it's important to have a voice on Capitol Hill, so that the lawmakers enacting those regulations know what is important to flight attendants.
The Government Affairs Committee sponsors many activities that further flight attendant issues.
Spreading the word when important legislation is up for vote and you need to call your Representative or Senator.
Assisting members with voter registration.
Assisting members with Early Voting or Absentee Balloting, since our work schedules can affect our ability to get to the polls.
Encouraging voluntary participation in Flight PAC - a fund that supports political candidates that have proven their support of flight attendant issues. AFA supports candidates that support flight attendant issues, regardless of party affiliation!
We are making progress on 10 hrs of rest made into law soon.
IN GENERAL.—Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall modify the final rule of the Federal Aviation Administration published in the Federal Register on August 19, 1994 (2) —The final rule, as modified under paragraph, shall ensure that— (A) a flight attendant scheduled to a duty period of 14 hours or less is given a scheduled rest period of at least 10 consecutive hours; and (B) the rest period is not reduced under any circumstances.
These bills are not similar and this means they will have to go to a committee of the House and Senate in order to make them the same. One positive note is that both ensure that a Fatigue Risk Management Program (FRMP) be in place. Remember, because of AFA, we have a FRMP but this will cement this practice in law, and have all airlines participate.
In other Good News, Sen. Cantwell (D-WA) author of the Senate version on Flight Attendant rest, recommended in the Senate hearing last week, that she wants her bill to mirror the house bill, and to be more in-line with the pilots. Calls are still needed to your Senators to ensure that our message of being treated equally without reduction in rest is heard.
Many other amendments were added in the FAA reauthorization bill, in both Houses of Congress, that may affect us in future years within the cabin. Some items may have different versions in the House and Senate and will have to go to a joint committee for negotiations. In committee, some items (listed below) may not be placed in the final version of the FAA reauthorization as impasse may happen. We will continually update you on the status. The House and Senate are really pushing for the goal of Sept 30th, 2017 to wrap everything up and by all means, do not want another extension on the FAA reauthorization.
Please note: If something doesn't make it into the final FAA reauthorization, some of these items can be made into individual bills at a future date. These are just a few of the items that may impact us and are not final.
The FAA Reauthorization deadline is set for September 30,2017. Congress wants to get these items passed and sent to the Presidents' Desk before that deadline.
The House Aviation subcommittee sent out an e-mail address asking for feedback from the aviation community.
Explain your work environment (6 legs a day 14 hour days can be extended to 16).
Explain your wages, benefits etc.
Let them know that you need 10 hours rest with no reduction in rest, No phone calls on planes, DenyNAI, and we need better regional pay.
Just as a reminder, keep your professional and concise. Think of this as a wishlist to your leaders in Congress, and what FAR'S would you like changed. Congress can hear from lobby groups, in fancy suits, that don't wear the uniform, and which absolutely do not represent our needs as front-line employees. If you would like an AFA government affairs rep, or union rep, to forward your story on to Congress and be left anonymous please feel free to forward info, we would be more than happy to do that. The e-mail address is transportfeedback@mail.house.gov.


The next collection that Karl Lagerfeld will release has everything to do with its tradition. Following the foot-steps of Coco Chanel, the new line is inspired by Dallas in Texas City.
The design will remind you of the western cowboy, where fringes are as famous as striped shirts in Paris. Here you see a model wearing a skirt in black and white stripes, black coat, cowboy hat and most importantly, the new Chanel flap bag. It has the CC logo on the bottom, with strong and feminine chain, mixed partly with black and brown leather.
The new collection is going to be named Paris-Dallas Metiers D'Art, like our Facebook to receive more information in the future.


Eurodollar has reached the group of local retracement, rebounded from them, and resumed falling. I've already moved the stop loss on my yesterday's sell order to the level where the order was opened. In the future, I'm planning to increase my short position.
At the H1 chart, the upper target area, where the current correction finished, was confirmed by several local retracements. The main target is still the group of lower fibo-levels: the market may reach them until the end of this week.
Franc has rebounded from retracement 61.8%, which was confirmed by local retracement. The stop loss on my yesterday's buy order is already in breakeven. In the near term, the market is expected to continue growing.
At the H1 chart, I'm planning to open another buy order after a local correction. The closest group of fibo-levels is at 0.9840. Possibly, the market may reach this target area until the end of the week.


Contrary to fire fighting in the open, fire fighters attending a fire in a confined space like a room, not only focuses on applying water onto the burning surfaces (called 2D fire fighting) but on the entire volume of the structure that is threatened by fire, called 3D fire fighting. The objective is through selected equipment and tactics to take control of the interior conditions by applying a combinations of offensive and defensive extinguishing techniques.
One of the differences is the attention to the possibility of rollovers (a.k.a. flameovers) where flammable gases in a room ignite, and of flashovers where most of the directly exposed combustible materials ignite due to heat emitted by the initial fire.
In addition to extinguishing the initial fire, the purpose of 3D fire fighting is to minimize the oxygen available for the fire, avoid creation of hot gasses and cool down flammable materials close to the fire to avoid their ignition.
A room fire will draw the needed air from the floor of the room. The hot gasses produced by the fire will move up towards the ceiling and will be pushed outwards by new hot gasses coming from the fire. Away from the combustion area, they will cool down and move towards the floor.
When micro-drops are sprayed into the room, their low weight will give them a long hang time in the air, whereby they easily are dragged into the combustion area of the fire by the circulating airflow.
The fire will use its energy to vaporize the water, draining it of energy, and thereby reducing the temperature of the fire.
The vapour will displace the air around the fire, that has been feeding the fire with oxygen. The fire is hereby literally starved of the oxygen it needs to continue.
The steam will create a buffer zone between the fire and the smoke, which improves visibility and makes conditions more bearable for trapped occupants and fire fighters.
The water vapour will cool down the gasses surrounding the fire and reduce the surface temperature of un-ignited fuels inside the room, reducing the likelihood of an expansion of the fire.
Micro-drops with long hang time.
Micro-drops transported by the airflow into the combustion area.
Micro-drops instantly absorb heat and generate steam.
Steam pressure prevents oxygen feeding the fire - cooling hot combustion gases.

Norway finance minister quits over IS woman's return from Syria
Terje Solsvik and Victoria Klesty
OSLO — Norwegian Finance Minister Siv Jensen and her right-wing Progress Party will resign from the government over a cabinet decision to help bring a woman suspected of Islamic State affiliation back home to Norway, Jensen said on Monday.
The resignation robs Conservative Prime Minister Erna Solberg of her parliamentary majority and could make the country more difficult to govern, but Solberg still plans to remain in office as head of a minority coalition.
Norway finance minister quits over IS woman's return from Syria Back to video
"I brought us into government, and I'm now bringing the party out," Jensen told a news conference.
There had been "too many compromises," Jensen said, while adding she wants to have a close dialog with the prime minister in the future.
The Norwegian crown currency was largely unchanged after the announcement.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg said she would remain in office as head of a minority three-party coalition.
Most Norwegian governments since the 1970s have ruled with a minority in parliament, including Solberg between 2013 and January 2019.
Jensen's departure was triggered by the decision, announced last week, that the Norwegian woman and her two children would receive help to return to Norway from Syria so that one of the children could receive medical treatment.
The woman, who left Norway in 2013, was arrested on her return on suspicion of being a member of the Islamist militant group that briefly controlled a territory the size of Britain across Iraq and Syria.
While Progress had offered to help the children, the populist party sought to deny any government assistance for adults seeking to return home after joining Islamist groups abroad or marrying foreign fighters.
Decisions on whether to help women with IS ties return from Syria has caused controversy in Europe, including in Finland where the recently appointed government settled on a compromise to decide each case individually.
The Norwegian woman, who has not been named, has denied the charges against her and will fully cooperate with police during interrogation, her lawyer has said.
Jensen's exit, along with six other Progress cabinet ministers, leaves Solberg with a string of posts to fill, including that of oil and energy minister to oversee Western Europe's biggest oil and gas industry.
At the finance ministry, the new appointee will chart the course for the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, with assets of $1.1 trillion.
Norway's constitution does not allow early elections, and the next vote for parliament will take place in September 2021. (Editing by Gwladys Fouche and Nick Macfie)

Quality education matters
Eketsang Secondary School in Gauteng improved its matric pass rate by 26.7% in one year, effectively recategorizing the school as a 'performing school'.
Following the release of the 2018 National Senior Certificate matric results, Adopt-a-School Foundation is celebrating the success of the implementation of their Whole School Development (WSD) model that has helped to deliver quality schooling to hundreds of formerly underperforming schools across the county.
"The release of matric results provides us with an opportunity to examine the success of our interventions in schools. We are delighted that in the past year we have achieved a pass rate of 84% with 1 600 distinctions; a 4% improvement on 2017 results," says Steven Lebere, Executive Director of the Adopt-a-School Foundation.
The Foundation works closely with 209 schools across the country, including Eketsang Secondary School. Other schools saw their pass rates improve significantly, including:
Lehlasedi High School in Mpumalanga, which improved from 54.9% to 80%;
Glen Cowie Secondary School in Limpopo improved from 87.3% to 91.4%;
Inhlakanipho Secondary School in KwaZulu-Natal improved from 60.5% to 70.5%;
Mariazell Senior Secondary School in Eastern Cape improved from 68.8% to 83.3%;
and Thandokhulu High School in Western Cape improved from 88.9% to 91.5%, to name just a few of the Foundation's success stories.
Adopt-a-School Foundation, a partner entity of the Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation, implements a holistic and sustainable WSD model which addresses school infrastructure, social welfare, curriculum development and school leadership.
"Our focus is not merely results-based, but the learners' development as a whole," says Banyana Mohajane, Head of Programmes at Adopt-a-School Foundation. "Learners are often pushed to gain a matric certificate and a higher pass rate against all odds; however, we aim to develop quality results by addressing all obstacles faced by learners in South Africa. This has led to a successful and sustainable quality education system for everyone at our 'adopted schools," continues Mohajane.
Historically, the pool of South African learners possessing the necessary matric results required to access universities and TVET programmes has been very small in comparison to the demand. In 2018, the Foundation focussed on quality curriculum delivery and increased the rate of school bachelor passes from 62% to 68%.
Future scientist, Phakamani Zondi from Boitekong Secondary School in the North West Province, has been named one of Adopt-a-School's 2018 top achievers for obtaining six discintions in his matric exams.
Phakamani Zondi from Boitekong Secondary School in the North West is one of Adopt-a-School's 2018 top achievers. He obtained six distinctions, including 99% for physical science, 94% for life sciences and 89% for mathematics, and was identified as a top performer from Quintile 3 schools in the province. Speaking of his dreams, Zondi says: "I had always wanted to be a scientist, from an early age, I thought that scientists can provide solutions to many problems. I also have an idea that can save the whole planet from global warming, I am planning to invent a conservation generator." Zondi is being considered for a Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET) bursary to study Nuclear Engineering at the University of Witwatersrand this year.
Lindela Mbatha from Welabasha Secondary School in KwaZulu-Natal is another of Adopt-a-School's 2018 top achievers. She obtained seven distinctions, including 86% for both life sciences and physical science and 80% for mathematics. Lindela will be studying Medicine at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, a long-time supporter of the Adopt-a-School Foundation.
"We are extremely grateful to our corporate and strategic partners for sharing our belief that education is a critical driver for achieving South Africa's goals for the future," Lebere concludes.

Home > News > [BioOpto Japan 2018] Bioraytron Offers High Lux UV-C LED Module to Enhance UV-C LED Water Sterili..
Professional UV and IR LED manufacturer High Power Lighting (HPL) has partnered with Epileds to establish a joint venture, Bioraytron. Bioraytron is a DUV LED manufacture company specializing in vertically integration of DUV LED from the production of epitaxy and wafer to packaging. Bioraytron will participate in BioOpto Japan 2018. The 10th BioOpto Japan will be held from October 17th to 19th 2018 in Chiba, Japan.
LEDinside is pleased to interview Charles Wei, General Manager of HPL at BioOpto Japan 2018 to talk about the company's technology development of DUV LED. According to Wei, UV-C LED is regarded as an additional value for end product and Bioraytron has partnered with several consumer product manufacturers to design UV-C LED sterilization products such as electrical appliances, food processers, sanitary ware, kitchenware and luminaries. The products will be released in the market soon.
Bioraytron's B35 UV-C LED series product (3.5mm x 3.5mm) utilizes quartz optical lens and high heat dissipation copper substrate package frame to improve the efficiency of output light while enhance the operation lifetime. The product is available with three beam angle (120°/80°/30°) to reach the most effective sterilization angle with required light source within the wavelength of 265-275nm. The drive currents of the product include 20mA(3mW) /30mA(4.5mW) /50mA(7.5mW) /80mA(12mW) /100mA(15mW) and the luminous power between 3mW to 15mW.
Bioraytron also releases customized module products with output power between 100mW~1000mW and the highest irradiance up to 80mW/cm2. When functioning under flowing water, the products can shorten the time for sterilization. B35 UV-C LED was developed by Epileds and HPL from the manufacturing of epitaxy and wafer to packaging.
HPL has offered various sanitizing products in 2018 including the surface sterilizing chopsticks box, air sterilizing product that can be hanged in wardrobes and sterilizing cupboard light. These products will be exhibited at BioOpto Japan 2018. Wei underlined the potential of sterilizing cupboard light as many lighting companies want to diverse and increase the additional value of their products.
According to the latest report from LEDinside, "2018 UV LED Application Market- Curing, Medical and Sterilization", various UV LED applications have emerged in the market in 2016-2017.

"Websites are proliferating much faster than accessibility can even be made available to them, because it's all usually done by manual programmers who do one website at a time," said Hingson, who is blind. [from CNBC]
Does this sentence have two predicate, "are proliferating" and "can be made"?
jutfrank
That sentence has seven predicates, as far as I can see.
Don't confuse predicates with clauses.
I can see there is a "because-clause" and "who-clause"in the above sentence.
But "Websites are proliferating much faster than accessibility can even be made available to them" should not has more than one predicate right?

Saraj Zhou said:
[Websites are proliferating much faster than [accessibility can even be made available to them], because it's all usually done by manual programmers who do one website at a time],"
No: the predicates are:
Matrix clause: are proliferating much faster than accessibility can even be made available to them, because it's all usually done by manual programmers who do one website at a time.
Subordinate clause: can even be made available to them.
1. that the outer brackets surround the matrix clause, the inner brackets the embedded subordinate clause.
2. there are further subordinate clauses.

Saraj Zhou, here are my ideas. If they are demonstratively wrong, the moderators will delete them.
Mona: Websites are proliferating much faster.
Raul: Much faster than what?
Mona: Much faster than the accessibility that can even be made available to them.
After checking my books at home and some results on the Web, I feel that "the accessibility that can even be made available to them" is the subject of that adverbial clause of degree. The predicate is the ellipted "is proliferating fast." That is, native speakers would never say those three words. They are only there for grammatical analysis. (I do think, however, that it would be possible to say "is" after the word "them.")
Here is an easier example of what I am trying to say: "Jim can run faster than Jeff (can run fast)." No native speaker would say those last three words. They might say "Jim can run faster than Jeff can" or even "Jim can run faster than Jeff can run." But they would never repeat the adjective "fast." In parsing, the word "fast" is used only to explain the idea that there is an underlying adjective in that sentence to match the comparative "faster" in the main clause. Source on Google: Daily Grammar Lesson 263 adverb dependent clauses.
My main source was its explanation of adverb clauses of degree in House and Harman's Descriptive English Grammar (1931), page 396.

Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 1 (SLC2A1), is a uniporter protein responsible for the transport of glucose in many cell types and across the blood-brain barrier.
What is the molecular weight of GLUT1? Is GLUT1 post-translationally modified?
There are two forms of GLUT1 transporter that differ in their molecular weight. The 45-kDa form is found in glial cells, while the 55-kDa form is present in the endothelial cells regulating glucose transport over the blood-brain and blood-tissue barriers (PMID: 9630522). N-glycosylation of asparagine at position 42 is the only known post-translation modification of GLUT1 (PMID: 3839598).
What is the subcellular localization of GLUT1?
Glucose transporters, including GLUT1, are multiple-pass integral membrane proteins. GLUT1 is present at the plasma membrane but is also a subject of recycling between plasma membrane and endosomes.
What molecules can be transported by GLUT1?
The main substrate of GLUT1 transport is glucose, but it can also transport galactose, mannose, glucosamine, and reduced ascorbate.
What is the tissue expression pattern of GLUT1?
GLUT1 is expressed by many cell types but the highest levels are observed in erythrocytes and in the central nervous system (astrocytes). GLUT1 is responsible for glucose transfer across the blood-brain and blood-tissue barriers, including placental transport.

In this episode, he reflects on the Black Lives Matter model, some of the positive things taking shape in Australia, and the work that still needs to be done.
Climate change continues to be politically charged in Australia, even as other countries ramp up their renewable energy investments. It raises questions around salesmanship. Evidence and expertise seem to only be part of the argument for action – so how can we build momentum? Do conservatives in fact have a role? Greg Foyster walks us through the language and approaches that have fallen short, and the conservative arguments that could potentially lead to breakthroughs.
When UK Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn appeared to some acclaim at Glastonbury Festival, it triggered some amount of pining in Australia. Why do we not have someone like that? With Osmond Chiu, the Secretary of the NSW Fabians and Deputy Editor of Challenge magazine, we unpack what this sentiment is about and whether it gets to the heart of what is wrong with our current politics.
Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle is the Archbishop of Manila and president of Caritas International. He is associated with Pope Francis in terms of pastoral sensibility. In this episode of ChatterSquare, he tackles some of the uneasy questions of our time. What does leadership look like in polarised and violent places?

ChatterSquare Extra: Is Justin Trudeau really all that?
Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister of Canada in 2015, taking the Liberal Party to a strong majority after nearly a decade of Conservative rule. He signaled many things that were seen as progressive. But is he really all that? In this episode of ChatterSquare Extra, we catch up with Neal Jennings, Canadian politics nerd, who joins us from Vancouver.

Singer/songwriter, Dollie Meredith, debuted her first single, "Smile" at just 14 years old. Dollie signed an artist development deal with MegaBite Music Group in 2017 where she began cultivating her sound with award-winning, multi-platinum selling, songwriter and producer, Anthony Little, and former RCA/BNA recording artist, songwriter and producer, Jennifer Day. "Songs flow from Dollie effortlessly," explains Jennifer. "She broaches difficult tween topics with courage and compassion. She has a calling to lift the spirits of those around her, and that is what makes her music so powerful."
Dollie trains at the renowned, Nashville, TN based Brett Manning Studios. Mr. Manning, her vocal coach is best known for his work with Taylor Swift, Leona Lewis and Keith Urban. "We will never forget the phone call from an ecstatic coach informing us of her impressive 6 and a half octave range," shares Anthony Little. "It always excites me to work with artists that work harder than I do. It shows a real level of commitment necessary for success in this industry." With a contagious, positive energy and a strong message of hope, Dollie's unique vision came to life as she collaborated with a variety of street musicians, student musicians, studio musicians and producers for the production of "Smile".
Dollie's creative team grew in 2018 with the addition of Linda Lopez, international social media marketer and manager of Cover Nation who has collectively secured over 50 million views for her clients' music videos. "Dollie has a natural performance ability," explains Linda who produced her YouTube page in the early stages. Fast forward to 2020 and 17 year old Dollie worked with co writer Ethan Sak who on the original "Strange Love", which tackles the subjects of grief, loss and the redeeming power of love using complex lyrics and haunting vocals. 2021 will start with a bang when a collaboration with Craig Groove and Koch House sees the release of another original, "Girls".
Raised in Alabama, Dollie Meredith is the youngest of four siblings. She often turned to music for solace and comfort growing up. She especially relied on her music once her brothers left home for college and the military. "Music really got me through some tough times, whether it was criticism from peers, or missing my brothers, music is the one thing that restores me……"
Dollie is overjoyed knowing that her music, embodying her message of hope, will somehow, even if in just a small way, makes the world a kinder place.

Found a new system for keeping track of my submissions (I ended up going with Writer's Database).
Drafted one of my prose ideas I had bouncing around. Except it turned into an epic poem. Whoops! I'd never written an epic poem before, so I'm pretty proud of this. I'd hoped to have a draft ready to show by the new year, but revising to make sure the meter works has been a real challenge, so I'm still plowing away.
All in all, December was a great month! I produced fewer poems than I'd been writing in the past few months, but the epic took up a lot of my time.


In attendance: Suzanne Sanchez, DOE; Carmen Alvarez, UFT vice president for special education; Kerri Evangelista, OT/PT chapter leader; and Elizabeth Truly.
Proposed clinical guide – We discussed how it would be uploaded and how parents would have access. New executive board members will have input, and then will get back to DOE.
New hires – The DOE is in a holding pattern. Discussed letting Chapter Leader know about orientation for new hires. DOE will get back to us on the total number of therapists.
Part-time therapists – The 2014 new MOA had a big impact on their work schedule and hours worked. We discussed the rules re: part-time hours. The supervisor or, in the absence of a supervisor, a manager, should already have reached to all part-time therapists with regard to hours for the 2015–16 school year.
Moving forward, Ms. Sanchez will approve part-time assignments based on hardship. A part-time therapist will not be able to stay in his/her current school as they will have to go where there is a part-time caseload. We currently have about 60 part-time therapists.
Principals and access to SESIS – Ms. Sanchez said that they have always had access to this system.
Summer bereavement days – We discussed briefly.
Signing in/out – Signing in and out in a non-permanent way is recommended for child's safety and protect DOE and therapists. Follow up with Districts 1 to 32 and District 75 notifying principals of such was asked for.
Evaluations – Ms. Sanchez was clear: All evaluations must be documented. Do not cancel a sessions to complete an evaluation. If you have an evaluation to complete at your school, please contact your supervisor to assign an evaluator. This topic continues to be the focus of an ongoing conversation between the UFT and the DOE.
SIT role and use in summer – We discussed the use of Senior Instructional Therapist (SIT) during the summer program. The union asked for a list of SITS and would like to have a meeting with them to discuss their role.


Congressman Watts graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Oklahoma, where he was quarterback of the Sooners and led them to two consecutive Big Twelve Championships and Orange Bowl victories.
He served as youth minister at Sunnylane Baptist Church before being elected to Congress in 1994, where he rose to chair the Republican Conference.
Representative Watts recently formed a lobbying and consulting firm, J.C. Watts Companies, one branch of which will partner with Mr. Luntz.
Mr. Luntz is founder of Luntz Research Companies and an active pollster and political consultant, as well as the author of the book "Candidates, Consultants, and Congress." He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania and doctorate in politics from Oxford.
Luntz: "There are two words that can characterize how Americans feel right now: anxious, insecure. The anxiousness is about the economy. The insecure has to do with national and international issues. When both of them come together as they may in the next 6 weeks or so, you have a very volatile situation.
...with what is happening internationally, with the market where it is, and with other measurements of American confidence at very unstable levels, [Americans] are looking for leadership. The one attribute that Republicans really beat the Democrats on on election night is strong dynamic leadership. It was over a 20-point advantage for the GOP. It hasn't been that way since the 1980s.
So what Bush has done here, whether you disagree or agree with his policies, is that he has asserted himself; he has taken charge; he is in command. That kind of attribute is what the American people are looking for right now even if they disagree with a detail or two."
Watts: "You don't hear Republicans talking a lot about civil rights. It is not a bad thing to talk about civil rights. I think that is where the real opportunities lie - in the 18- to 44- to 47-year-old American of African descent with Republicans.
I remain very optimistic about the outreach effort because of one person and that is George W. Bush. I think that is who he is. I think that is his heart. I think he is sincere about it. He is real about it. I think it is driven by who he is.
...that generation they are more into business opportunities, education, information technology but I would even encourage that generation not to, don't abandon what the civil rights movement stood for. You can be pro-business and pro-tax relief and pro-balanced budget and pro-welfare reform and not carry a confederate flag. And I think that generation understands that a lot more than the older generation."
They have got to come up with something better. I don't think the Republicans won in 2002, I think the Democrats lost. And I don't see the voice of the Democratic party, I don't see what drives them intellectually or in terms of their language. There isn't a consistency of message...all they have done, starting in 2000 with Al Gore and particularly in 2002 with Daschle... all the Democrats have done is attack. It doesn't work. ...if you come out of the box attacking, it won't have credibility. So I think they are making the same mistake they made back in 2002."
Watts: "If you want to send a shot across the bow, get the United States Department of Agriculture and the Justice department to move on the black farmer issue. That is critically important."
Luntz: "There is no way for anyone at this point to handicap this race. This is the best Democratic battle for president that we have had since I can remember."
Watts: "In Washington, I think you have to realize that there are legitimate policy differences. The fact the Republicans might disagree or the president might disagree with something that the CBC [Congressional Black Caucus] wants something the NAACP may disagree with, I know most of the time that will be perceived as racist but there are legitimate policy differences that are going to be had.
Judge Pickering, there are some facts behind his service that I think are worth mentioning. He had the NAACP and the Ku Klux Klan both opposing the Pickering nomination. You had many black people in Mississippi who did support his nomination. So, that is obviously going to be in the eye of the beholder and I hope Republicans are not afraid to move an agenda that might be contrary to what the Democrats or like Democrats might want.
So I don't read anything into the Pickering nomination other than he is trying to get that post filled with someone that qualifies to fill it."
Did Bernie Sanders win the Democratic debate?

Quebec City region adds 3,700 jobs in NovemberHighlightsComments
The month of November brought good news for the labour market in the Quebec City CMA. The region recorded a total of 419,900 jobs, up 3,700 from October. This gain brought total employment to a higher level than it was back in July. Quebec City also had the highest job creation rate in the province in November, edging out Montreal (+3,600) and Gatineau (+3,300).
According to Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey, the labour market in the Quebec City census metropolitan area (CMA) showed some signs of recovery in November.
The region finished off the month of November with 419,900 jobs, up 3,700 from October.
The region's performance in November helped bring the unemployment rate down to 5.1%, a drop of 0.3 points compared with October and one of the lowest rates in Canada.
In the province of Quebec, 18,200 jobs were added on a monthly basis in November. Unemployment dropped by 0.1 points to 7.6%.
The regional performance in November led to stronger growth in the number of workers (+0.9%) than in the total labour force (+0.6%), thus driving down unemployment to 5.1%, one of the lowest rates in Canada. In addition, the employment rate rose to 65.2% in Quebec City last month, maintaining the region's lead compared with the province of Quebec (60.6%) and Canada as a whole (62%).
In keeping with the situation last year, employment growth was focused primarily on the services sector. The gains will help to offset the stagnation observed in the manufacturing and construction industries. Based on the labour market's gradual recovery in Quebec City, it seems likely that things will get off to a strong start in 2013.
