Maybe you have heard market pundits casually throw around the term " 'V' bottom." It means simply that when graphing the price changes of the stock market, the rebound is equal to the decline, that is, the right side of the "V" will be a mirror image of the left side. Of course, we know all too well what the left side of the letter looks like. The market declined at a very steep angle from March 2000 through April 2001.
For several months now, beginning even before we fully formed the left side of the letter "V," experts have devoted substantial time to predicting what the right side of the letter will look like. So what, exactly, are the possibilities? Well, the best possible outcome from our bowl of alphabet soup is naturally "V." Such a rebound in the market would be the fastest way to recover lost portfolio values. It means recovery at a very steep angle. From April 4, 2001 through the middle of March, it appeared as though a "V" bottom was at hand. All of the major market averages soared and many dared to quietly speak of a bull market.
The second half of March was weak and both May and June have been mediocre. The illusive twenty-second letter of the alphabet has slipped through our fingers.
The eternally pessimistic market bears have been predicting "L" shape. If you own stocks, this is the worst possible of the 26 letters. As its shape implies, it means we go down and stay down. It implies that we skid across the bottom endlessly with nothing to drive stocks prices higher. To the delight of investors everywhere, we have no indication that this letter will find validation in the markets. As noted, the markets did see substantial strength during April/May and at no time in history has the market hit bottom and perpetually stayed there. The markets have always found reason to claw their way back to new highs. It happens that we currently have more reasons for that conviction than in other bear markets. The Federal Reserve has been extremely aggressive in cutting interest rates, including the latest _ point easing on June 27, 2001; the Congress will rebate more than a trillion dollars to taxpayers over the next decade; and we have purged excessive speculation in the markets, including a dramatic reduction in the use of margin borrowing.
So if we are not to have the extremes, neither a "V" nor an "L," what then? Many market observers now believe the shape of the market rebound will look suspiciously like the letter "U." That is, we will see a protracted bottoming phase followed by a meaningful up-tick later in the year. This is to say, more of a slow, smooth turnaround rather than a snap back like a yo-yo. The notion that we will form a bottom across several months does seem to square better with the data. Right now the U.S. economy seems to be in for a "U" shape turnaround of its own in terms of the changing course of GDP growth (deceleration, stabilization, acceleration). Curiously, the market may actually be rationally forecasting the future of corporate profitability. In late 1999 the stock market and the economy had de-linked, and now, as we see a re-linking, the friction is causing a loud grinding noise and lots of sparks.
Due to where we find the U.S. economy along the market cycle continuum, in recession, and based on the fact the market is only now beginning to fully digest the bad news, we must brace ourselves for the possibility of another letter. The letter "W" is now looking even more likely than "U." We may be facing another round of selling as we reluctantly enter corporate earnings season. Evidence is mounting that many companies will not meet quarterly earnings estimates that had already been slashed from optimistic forecasts earlier this year. This will be a major disappointment for many investors who believe the all of the negative stuff is behind us.
Before you are tempted to go screaming for the exits, remember the entire shape of the letter "W." Yes, we started a rebound in stocks in early April that was shaping up to be a "V" when it grew up, but it failed. We have sold off since mid-May and, again, are likely to see continued pressure through the next month, as corporations must bare their souls to the world. This is the bad news, and the painful middle portion of the twenty-third letter of the alphabet. But there is hope.
The last third of the letter "W" is actually the right side of the letter "V." You see, even though the economy will not recover as quickly as some had hoped, and even though stock prices have careened lower yet again, we will, if we exercise discipline and patience, be rewarded with the wonderful letter "V" after all.
Keep in mind that monetary policy and fiscal policy take time to do good or to do harm. The Federal Reserve Bank started raising interest rates in the middle of 1999 and continued through the middle of 2000. The economy started to weaken much later in the last quarter of 2000 and only recently became anemic. Likewise, the Fed just started to lower rates in January. So it will take time to turn around the economy. It will take time for a lower income tax burden to translate into more consumption. The mess we find ourselves in today took a while to make, and it will require some time to recover.
Jobless claims recently fell for the third straight week, an indication that all of the folks being laid off are finding new jobs rather quickly. Conversely, worker output, or productivity, fell in the latest quarter to its worst level in years, an indication that we are not out of the woods just yet. We are mired in a recurring theme of mixed results from the economy. Until we can string together some economic indicators all moving in the same direction, the stock market will continue to churn and grind.
The safest investment recommendation is to get to the grocery store as quickly as you can and buy a can of alphabet soup. Remove all of the letters except "U","V", and "W." Eat heartily. All of these letters have one thing in common. Each has a happy ending. And so too will the stock market.

Social welfare systems assistance to individuals and families through programs such as health care, food stamps, unemployment compensation, housing assistance and child care assistance to each individual or family applying for benefits to determine and confirm the applicant's needs.
The benefits available to an individual vary. Eligibility is determined based on factors surrounding the person's financial status and how it relates to the minimum acceptable levels or contribution. The factors involved can include the size of the family unit, current income levels or an assessed disability.
Social welfare systems may go by different names, but they often serve similar functions. This can cause confusion when attempting to compare one program to another. Additionally, the requirements to qualify also vary, depending on the poverty line in a particular region. This allows for adjustments based on items such as cost of living that are not standardized across the countries.
Available benefits generally cover assistance for food, housing, child care and medical care. In some cases funds are provided to for distribution. These funds may be used for cash assistance, allowing a household to spend the funds as it deems necessary to meet its needs and obligations.
Some available housing benefits go beyond locating suitable and affordable properties and providing housing cost assistance. A household may qualify for assistance to complete certain energy efficiency upgrades. It may also receive funds to help pay utility bills.
Benefits around health and nutrition can include access to affordable medical care. Food and nutrition programs may supply funds, often referred to as food stamps, to provide easier access to food in general. Additional nutritional assistance through the Women, Infants and Children program provides food-specific benefits to ensure pregnant women and young children have access to healthy food options to promote growth and development.
Other programs that are parts of the social welfare system include disaster relief assistance, educational assistance, agricultural loans and services specifically for veterans.

Springboard partners with school networks from coast to coast. We are honored to have major vendor agreements with some of the nation's largest school districts, as well as longstanding relationships with charter and parochial schools. Though we serve a broad and diverse range of school communities, they all have something in common: they demand the best for their students and invest in partnerships that help them thrive. Learn more about Springboard's presence in each city below!
Springboard was founded in Philadelphia in 2012. Springboard's partnerships in Philadelphia include long-term relationships with the school district, charters, and Catholic schools. We are proud to partake in the city's rich tradition of innovation; Philadelphia is Springboard's 'test kitchen' where we often pilot new offerings before rolling them out nationally.
Springboard was first brought to DC through a partnership with DC Public Schools in 2016. This has been among our most fruitful and fastest growing relationships— DCPS is tied with San Francisco Unified for Springboard's largest district partnership!
In 2017, Springboard conducted programming in NYC for the first time. Our founding school partners included Public Prep, PAVE, and Global Community Charter School. Since then, we have also established partnerships with district schools in collaboration with the United Way, Pinkerton Foundation, and Heckscher Foundation. We are thrilled to more than triple Springboard's reach in New York in just our second year there.
Springboard expanded to Oakland in 2015 in partnership with Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) and Education For Change and with anchor funding from the GreenLight Fund, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, and the Rogers Family Foundation.
In 2016, we introduced Springboard Afterschool, which helped to accelerate reading progress for 134 kids at 3 sites. Our afterschool work continued in 2017 as we added a new school to the participating cohort.
In Summer 2017, Springboard ran programming at 10 schools serving 1,000+ kids; training 1,200+ parents; coaching 65+ teachers; and supporting 10+ school leaders. In Summer 2018, Springboard will continue serving East and West Oakland school communities, and is a strategic partner for CUES and Futures Elementary Schools that are leveraging School Improvement Grant dollars to drive literacy outcomes for their students.
Springboard launched in San Francisco in Summer 2017 through a partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District. We served 120 students; trained 150+ parents; and coached 8 teachers as part of a single-site pilot in the Bayview neighborhood.
Based on the pilot's initial success and boosted by a 5-year investment from San Francisco's Department of Children, Youth and their Families, Springboard is expanding to serve 960 scholars and their families across 8 elementary schools in Summer 2018. Further, Springboard classrooms will act as training ground for new teachers from the district's internal credentialing program who will support Springboard teachers with instruction.
This hits close to home… literally. San Francisco is home to Springboard's CEO as well as the Bay Area Executive Director.
Along with Oakland and San Jose, San Francisco offers Springboard an essential platform for making an impact across the Bay Area.
Springboard was launched in San Jose in Summer 2017 through a partnership with Alum Rock Unified Elementary School District and with anchor funding from The Peery and Shortino Foundations.
In the first year of the partnership, Springboard served 315 students, trained 400+ parents; coached 21+ teachers; and supported 3+ school leaders in the district. The program generated 3.1 months of reading gains during the 5-week intervention. Based on this success, the district contracted with Springboard to facilitate Springboard Afterschool at four schools in early 2018, where the program generated 4.3 months of gains in the 10-week program cycle.
In Summer 2018, Springboard will expand to serve 420 students and their families across four school communities in Alum Rock.
Springboard is expanding to Norwalk in 2018 by launching summer programming in partnership with Norwalk Public Schools and with anchor funding from the Herbert & Nell Singer Foundation. We are thrilled to build lasting capacity in 4 district schools, where:
• 400+ students will improve their reading
• 500+ parents will learn to be effective home literacy coaches
• 25+ teachers will improve their instructional practices through rigorous coaching
• 4 teacher-leaders will participate in a valuable management experience
We are eager to follow a successful launch with rapid growth and year-round programming to meet the needs of Norwalk school communities.
Springboard is expanding to Wilmington by launching summer programming in 2018. We are thrilled to build lasting capacity in 4 school communities, where:
• 24 teachers will improve their instructional practices through rigorous coaching
We are eager to follow a successful launch with rapid growth to meet the needs of Wilmington school communities.
Springboard is expanding to Baltimore in 2018 by launching summer programming in partnership with City Schools. We are thrilled to serve 7 school communities at three program locations, where:
We are eager to follow a successful launch with rapid growth and year-round programming to meet the needs of Baltimore school communities.
Springboard's first push into the Central Valley landed us in Fresno Unified as the result of seed funding from Halloran Philanthropies and Silver Giving Foundation. The program will target under-performing African-American students as part of the district's achievement strategy for this population subgroup.
In Summer 2018, Springboard is poised to serve 210 students at one central hub school and will provide technical assistance to middle school leaders who will modify our curriculum and program structure to meet the literacy needs of 6th-8th graders. In partnership with district leaders, we'll be studying this program twist closely to gauge lessons learned that might later be applied to expand our program offerings to include middle-schoolers.
Learn about starting a partnership:
"Seeing parents teaching their children to read, it's the most powerful thing I've seen in education."
"Developing the leadership of Kelli [Site Leader] is worth its weight in gold!"
"I look forward to seeing the workshops in action. I observed them in previous years and can't imagine anything more impactful in our students' literacy growth!"
"Springboard's commitment to creating meaningful partnerships between home and school has led us to reimagine what family engagement looks like at [our school]. Our engagement with our parents – through conversations, conferences, family nights, and newsletters – now focuses on data and equipping our parents with the tools they need to support their students' achievement at home."

1857 A FRANCE Emperor NAPOLEON III Antique Gold 50 Franc French NGC Coin i86542
Item: i86542 Authentic Coin of. Emperor: 2 December 1852 - 4 September 1870 1857 A Gold 50 Francs 21mm (16.13 grams) 0.900 Gold 0.4667 oz. AGW Paris mint Reference: F# 547, KM# 785 Certification: NGC.
AU 55 MS 64 5747062-003 NAPOLEON III EMPEREUR BARRE, Napoleon III facing right. EMPIRE FRANCAIS 50 FRANCS A, Draped shield with eagle within, crown atop. Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (20 April 1808 - 9 January 1873) was the only President (1848-52) of the French Second Republic and, as Napoleon III, the Emperor (1852-70) of the Second French Empire.
He was the nephew and heir of Napoleon I. He was the first President of France to be elected by a direct popular vote. He was blocked by the Constitution and Parliament from running for a second term, so he organized a coup d'état in 1851 and then took the throne as Napoleon III on 2 December 1852, the forty-eighth anniversary of Napoleon I's coronation. He remains the longest-serving French head of state since the French Revolution. During the first years of the Empire, Napoleon's government imposed censorship and harsh repressive measures against his opponents. Some six thousand were imprisoned or sent to penal colonies until 1859. Thousands more went into voluntary exile abroad, including Victor Hugo. From 1862 onwards, he relaxed government censorship, and his regime came to be known as the Liberal Empire.
Napoleon III is best known today for his grand reconstruction of Paris, carried out by his prefect of the Seine Baron Haussmann. He launched similar public works projects in Marseille, Lyon, and other French cities. Napoleon III modernized the French banking system, greatly expanded and consolidated the French railway system, and made the French merchant marine the second largest in the world. He promoted the building of the Suez Canal and established modern agriculture, which ended famines in France and made France an agricultural exporter. He negotiated the 1860 Cobden-Chevalier free trade agreement with Britain and similar agreements with France's other European trading partners.
Social reforms included giving French workers the right to strike and the right to organize. Women's education greatly expanded, as did the list of required subjects in public schools.
In foreign policy, Napoleon III aimed to reassert French influence in Europe and around the world. He was a supporter of popular sovereignty and of nationalism. In Europe, he allied with Britain and defeated Russia in the Crimean War (1853-56). His regime assisted Italian unification and, in doing so, annexed Savoy and the County of Nice to France; at the same time, his forces defended the Papal States against annexation by Italy. Napoleon doubled the area of the French overseas empire in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.
On the other hand, his army's intervention in Mexico aimed to create a Second Mexican Empire under French protection but ended in failure. Beginning in 1866, Napoleon had to face the mounting power of Prussia, as Chancellor Otto von Bismarck sought German unification under Prussian leadership.
In July 1870, Napoleon entered the Franco-Prussian War without allies and with inferior military forces. The French army was rapidly defeated and Napoleon III was captured at the Battle of Sedan. The French Third Republic was proclaimed in Paris, and Napoleon went into exile in England, where he died in 1873. France, officially the French Republic (French: République française), is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories.
The European part of France, called Metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. France spans 640,679 square kilometres (247,368 sq mi) and has a total population of 67 million. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. The Constitution of France establishes the state as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people. During the Iron Age, what is now Metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people.
The Gauls were conquered in 51 BC by the Roman Empire, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French state-building and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the beginning of a global colonial empire.
The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots). France became Europe's dominant cultural, political, and military power under Louis XIV. French philosophers played a key role in the Age of Enlightenment during the 18th century.
In 1778, France became the first and the main ally of the new United States in the American Revolutionary War. In the late 18th century, the absolute monarchy was overthrown in the French Revolution. Among its legacies was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, one of the earliest documents on human rights, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day. France became one of modern history's earliest republics until Napoleon took power and launched the First French Empire in 1804. Fighting against a complex set of coalitions during the Napoleonic Wars, he dominated European affairs for over a decade and had a long-lasting impact on Western culture.
Following the collapse of the Empire, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments: the monarchy was restored, it was replaced in 1830 by a constitutional monarchy, then briefly by a Second Republic, and then by a Second Empire, until a more lasting French Third Republic was established in 1870. By the 1905 law, France adopted a strict form of secularism, called laïcité, which has become an important federative principle in the modern French society. France reached its territorial height during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it ultimately possessed the second-largest colonial empire in the world. In World War I, France was one of the main winners as part of the Triple Entente alliance fighting against the Central Powers. France was also one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but came under occupation by the Axis Powers in 1940.
Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was formed in 1958 and remains to this day.
Following World War II, most of the empire became decolonized. Throughout its long history, France has been a leading global center of culture, making significant contributions to art, science, and philosophy.

Filipino Marist Arnold Garferio, SM was ordained priest on 2 February 2013 by Archbishop Orlando Quevedo, OMI DD in Sto. Nino Shrine Parish, Midsayap, North Cotabato. His ordination coincided with the Church's celebration of the World Day for Consecrated Life.
The celebration was witnessed by Fr. Arnold's family and relatives, members of the Marist family, some religious congregations and many lay people. It was a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. In his homily, the Archbishop challenged Fr. Arnold to be a religious priest and prophet and 'to imitate the mystery he celebrates in the Eucharist".
On the following day, Fr. Arnold celebrated his Thanksgiving Mass in the same Parish. Before the end of the mass, Fr. Pat Devlin, SM, our District Superior thanked the people for giving Fr. Arnold to the SM and to the Church. He announced that Fr. Arnold will be assigned in Matti, Digos.
We wish Fr. Arnold blessing and prayers as he begins his priestly life and mission as Marist priest!
← Marist Bridgers' Sports fest a success!

Profils paysans est une série de films français documentaires réalisés par Raymond Depardon.

Le contexte

Raymond Depardon est lui-même fils d'agriculteurs, et ses premiers clichés ont été pris dans la ferme familiale. Il a quitté la ferme familiale à 16 ans, en 1958, pour mener une carrière de photographe et de cinéaste, à travers différents pays, et domaines d'activités, et est entré en 1960 à l'agence Dalmas. En 1995, il consacre un livre à cette ferme familiale. Découvrant bien plus tard que des fermes similaires à celle de ses parents existent encore, loin de l'agriculture intensive, avec des conditions de vie rudes, il décide de consacrer à ces petites entreprises agricoles du centre de la France une série de documentaires, les filmant sur plusieurs années. En parallèle, Raymond Depardon publie en 2008 l'ouvrage La Terre des paysans aux éditions du Seuil. Cet ouvrage regroupe des photos qu'il a prises pendant cinquante ans sur ce monde agricole du centre de la France et de la moyenne montagne.

Le style
L'un des choix de Raymond Depardon est celui de filmer en plans fixes, même lorsqu'un personnage sort du cadre, donnant ainsi l'impression de renoncer pour ces réalisations à tout effet cinématographique.

Le découpage retenu

Cette série se compose de trois volets, filmés sur la durée, sur une dizaine d'années (les premières images sont tournés dès 1998 et s'appuient sur des repérages effectués antérieurement) :
 L'Approche, sorti en 2001. Ce premier documentaire de la trilogie est tourné en hiver. La voix de Raymond Depardon explique l'origine du projet. Suit une première approche, pas à pas, des différentes familles qui vont devenir par ces documentaires des personnages de cinéma, même s'il s'agit d'un cinéma documentaire. L'approche commence dans la cour des fermes, puis on pénètre  dans le bâtiment de ces fermes et notamment dans la cuisine, qui est souvent la pièce où l'on discute.  explique Raymond Depardon, faisant implicitement référence à des documentaires précédents tournée en palais de justice.
 Le Quotidien, sorti en 2005. Ce deuxième épisode de la trilogie documentaire commence là où finit le premier. Les agriculteurs filmés y avouent parfois, ou laissent percer à travers leurs propos, leur désarroi sur leur monde quotidien qui est en train de disparaître. La campagne ainsi filmée semble avoir vocation à devenir une immense résidence pour citadins en mal de nature  ;
 La Vie moderne, sorti en 2008. Dans ce documentaire clôturant la trilogie, Raymond Depardon aborde notammment avec les personnes filmées les conditions de survie de leur exploitation agricole, et la question du transfert de leur patrimoine et de leurs connaissances.

The web standards body W3C is being petitioned by a consortium of 27 organisations to reject proposals that would make it easier to support DRM-protected media in HTML5-based sites.
The draft Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) specification would apply to video, audio or interactive content marked with HTML5 media element tags. The specification defines an API that would interact with a DRM or simple encryption system when the media was played.
In a letter (PDF) addressed to inventor of the HMTL specification Sir Tim Berners Lee the consortium, which includes notable free software advocates such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Free Software Foundation, calls the proposed specification "disastrous" and claims it "would change HTML, the underlying language of the web, to make it accommodate and encourage" DRM.
The consortium opposes the adoption of the proposed specification on the basis that it would "harm interoperability, enshrine non-free software in W3C standards and perpetuate oppressive business models". W3C has made a public commitment to openness when developing web standards. The organisation's mission statement includes the pledge "the social value of the web is that it enables human communication, commerce, and opportunities to share knowledge. One of W3C's primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people".
The letter expresses concerns that the specification would encourage the proliferation of closed-source DRM plug-ins that would be required to view media and that each DRM plug-in could impose arbitrary restrictions on the type of hardware and software that could play media. The BBC raised the possibility of a content decryption module working with EME blocking the ability of an OS to forward an online video stream to a third party device in its submission supporting encrypted media extensions earlier this year.
The EME proposal states that "implementation of Digital Rights Management is not required for compliance with" the specification. It says that sites that don't wish to protect content with DRM needn't do so, and can instead rely on the ability of the browser, or other user agent, to provide an unencrypted key to play the media.
The letter argues that saying that EME is not a DRM scheme in itself is disingenuous, stating: "EME has no purpose other than providing a hook in HTML on which to hang digital restrictions".
It also refutes the notion that if people are comfortable renting videos or borrowing books from a library, then they shouldn't have a problem with DRM.
"Applying such restrictions to streaming media may seem less harmful now, when 'ownership' of most media is still possible by storing it on a personal hard drive. It is quite possible, however, that this option will disappear as companies create a system in which media is only available via streaming," it states.
The editors who drafted the initial EME spec are employees of Microsoft, Google and Netflix, and the letter closes by saying that adopting the proposal as a web standard would elevate their business interests over the greater good.
"Ratifying EME would represent the narrow interests of entrenched software firms with strong ties to the entertainment industry. Though it is not in the W3C's power to prevent these companies from implementing DRM on the web, endorsing EME would constitute an abdication of responsibility to the core goals of the W3C and the web-using public," it states.
EME has been published by the HTML working group as an editor's draft and is yet to be endorsed by the W3C.

Fight for $15: The Right Wage for a Working America
By David Rolf
The fight for a higher minimum wage has become the biggest national labor story in decades. Beginning in November 2012, strikes by fast food workers spread across the country, landing in Seattle in May 2013. Within a year, Seattle had adopted a $15 minimum wage—the highest in the United States—without a bloody political battle.

New York Times Highlights Photographs of NYC Trafficking Victims
By Katie Masi
On Monday The New York Times highlighted the photographs of Xyza Bacani, a former maid and Filipino native, who documented and photographed labor trafficking survivors in New York City. As she learned about the prevalence of labor trafficking in New York, and in the United States generally, she decided to focus on Filipino labor trafficking victims. For three months, she got to know her subjects by sleeping on their couches and learning their routines.
Through Bacani's photographs, we learn the story of Daisy Benin Santos. A job agency lured Ms. Santos from the Philippines with the promise of working at the Grand Plaza Hotel in Branson, MO. Instead, she ended up in debt bondage in Panama, Florida and later found herself undocumented when her trafficker let her visa expire. Santos' trafficker is now in jail and she is employed as a nanny on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Bacani also documented members of the "Florida 15," a group of Filipino workers who were promised high-paying jobs and forced to pay thousands in recruitment fees. Instead they ended up as indentured servants in high-end hotels and country clubs. Unlike in Santos' case there has been no prosecution because the recruiter cannot be located.
Human trafficking is a global issue that exists everywhere. Traffickers hide victims in plain sight; they are exploited as nannies, maids, manicurists, janitors, construction workers, and in many other industries. As Ms. Bacani states, "It really surprised me that trafficking is happening in a first-world country like the U.S…It also shocked me that even people with college degrees can be victims."
More must be done to increase the risk and decrease the reward for traffickers in this $150 billion global industry. There must also be uniform guidelines for the identification of labor trafficking cases so that all actors engaged in trafficking, including recruiters are prosecuted. For more information on labor trafficking and what the U.S. can do to dismantle the business, see our blueprint.

"Special Projects Dude" -- Missions Mobilizer. Radical Discipleship Encourager.
George Verwer (born July 3, 1938) is the founder of Operation Mobilisation (OM), a Christian missions organization. Verwer has written several books on various Christian themes. He is a passionate advocate of radical discipleship as the only legitimate option for people who believe in Jesus.
Verwer's first contact with Christianity was through his neighbor, Dorothea Clapp, who gave him the Gospel of John and also put him on her "Holy Ghost hit list". Verwer attributes to her some of the reason that he made a commitment to Christ, and for what resulted in his life.
When he was a pupil at Ramsey High School in Ramsey, New Jersey, he went to a Jack Wyrtzen meeting in which Billy Graham spoke in Madison Square Garden, in New York City. There he was converted to become a Christian, at the age of 16. Within a year, about 200 of his classmates became Christians.
He had a growing conviction to evangelize on foreign soil. He started with distribution of the Gospel of John in Mexico in 1957 along with two friends, Walter Borchard and Dale Rhoton. They called this operation "Send the Light". This continued with others during summer holidays. Afterward, Verwer used the name "Send the Light" for a book distribution operation to India based in the United Kingdom. This has since developed into Send the Light, the largest Christian book distributor in the United Kingdom.
After high school, he attended Maryville College and then transferred to Moody Bible Institute, where he met his wife, Drena, who was a fellow student.
He was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Divinity, during commencement at Biola University on May 22, 2009.
After graduation, they went to Spain. Once while taking Bibles into the USSR, George was arrested and accused of being a spy. He was deported, and back in Spain, after a time of prayer in 1961 the work of Operation Mobilization (OM) was born. George often refers to this calling himself "God's Bungler", in reference to Brother Andrew, "God's Smuggler".
In August 2003, George handed over the international leadership of the work of Operation Mobilisation to Peter Maiden, who was the Associate International Director for 15 years. George and his wife are now involved in Special Projects Ministries full-time. They still travel and take meetings around the world.
Drena and George had three children.

eASIC Passes Milestone of Shipping Twenty Million Custom ICs
Santa Clara, CA – March 5, 2015 – eASIC Corporation, a fabless semiconductor company that delivers a custom integrated circuit (IC) platform (eASIC Platform), today announced that it has shipped over twenty million custom ICs. eASIC custom ICs are used by electronics companies that need the right combination of fast time to market, high performance and low power consumption, in a cost effective and customizable solution that enables high volume production. Examples of where eASIC solutions are used include NAND based storage systems, wireless infrastructure equipment including digital front end applications for 3G and LTE, microwave backhaul solutions and wired communications equipment.
"This milestone demonstrates that the eASIC solution continues to be an attractive alternative to traditional ASICs or FPGAs. Increased adoption in both infrastructure equipment and end user applications indicate that our scalable eASIC IC solution can be customized and built quickly at a cost structure that enables both fast time to market and high volume production", said Jasbinder Bhoot, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing at eASIC. "eASIC's latest generation platform, the eASIC Nextreme-3, was released to production six months ago and we believe this generation of platform delivers the increased serial bandwidth, higher performance logic, and lower power consumption that customers need to continue to develop differentiated products."
"For new designs, equipment companies must consider several trade-offs before deciding which type of device (FPGA, ASIC or ASSP) to choose for their specific application", said Michele Reitz, Principal Research Analyst for Semiconductors at Gartner. "The main downsides of FPGAs compared with other options are in high-volume, high-performance and low-cost applications. These are requirements better suited to the leading-edge ASICs and ASSPs available in the market."

MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg 92
Herbalife Gran Canaria Las Palmas 89
Local time: 20:00 MHP ARENA
MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg edges Gran Canaria after overtime
MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg bounced back in overtime to beat Herbalife Gran Canaria Las Palmas 92-89 on Tuesday at MHP Arena. Brad Newley's three on the buzzer completed a late Gran Canaria comeback to tie it at 81-81 after 40 minutes, but a 7-0 run in the extra session put the hosts in position to win. The victory left the two teams even atop Group B with 5-2 records, though Gran Canaria remains ahead of Ludwigsburg on a tiebreaker thanks to its 20-point victory when they met in Round 2. Tekele Cotton paced the winners with 20 points and Mustafa Shakur added 19 points and 5 assists. Jon Brockman contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds and Rocky Trice scored 10 before fouling out. Kevin Pangos carried Gran Canaria with 31 points on 5-of-8 three-point shooting and 10 free throws without a miss plus 6 assists. Newley added 14 points and Alen Omic scored 11.
Ovidijus Galdikas scored first and Newley added a three in a strong Gran Canaria start. Brockman scored the hosts' first 6 points to get Ludwigsburg within 1. Shawn Huff put the home team up 11-10 after four minutes. The lead changed hands a number of times with Sasu Salin putting Gran Canaria up 13-15 and Cotton returning the favor for Ludwigsburg. Chris McNaughton lifted the hosts to 21-20 after 10 minutes. Newley scored a three-point play to start the second quarter, but Trice, Cotton and McNaughton put the hosts back ahead. Newley and Pangos each brought Gran Canaria within 1, but Huff and Shakur boosted Ludwigsburg's lead to 7. Brad Loesing's triple made it 44-36 at halftime.
Cotton split free throws to make it a 9-point game early in the second half. Pangos sandwiched a pair of threes around one from Shakur to ignite the visitors. Cotton restored a 9-point cushion with his first triple. Gran Canaria roared back with a Pangos three, back-to-back Oriol Pauli triples and a Xavi Rabaseda layup, which capped a 0-11 charge. Brockman tied it at 55-55 through three quarters. The game was as close as could be in the fourth quarter, which featured five lead changes and six ties. It was 75-74 after a pair of Pangos free throws with two minutes to go. Alen Omic's basket-plus-foul tied it a 77-77 with 1:31 to play. Royce O'Neale free throws put the hosts back ahead with 43 second left and Pangos missed at the other end. Shakur iced the game with a pair of free throws with 13 seconds to go that made it a two-possession game. Jason Boone rejected Salin's shot, but fouled out on the rebound. Omic made the first free throw and intentionally missed the second. Gran Canaria got the rebound and Newley tied it with a three on the buzzer.
Free throws by Eulius Baez and Pangos kept the momentum with Gran Canaria, but Ludwigsburg was soon in control after a basket by Cotton, three-pointer from Shakur and free throws from Brockman made it 88-84. Pangos broke the 30-point barrier for his night with 2 from the line, however 2 free throws each by O'Neale and Cotton made it a 6-point difference with 18 seconds left. Pauli nailed a three in the closing seconds, but there was no second miracle for the visitors.

PATRICK, JOHN
"It was a very intense game and even though both teams played on Sunday, everybody fought really hard for 45 minutes. We had problems stopping Kevin Pangos and had the chance to finish the game in regulation, but in the end I'm very happy we pulled it out against one of the top teams and one of the best coaches in Europe."
GARCIA RENESES, AITO
"I'm happy with the game even though we lost. Ludwigsburg plays with a lot of hunger and intensity, which is hard to match. But we found a way to change the dynamic of the game in the third quarter, so that's what I'm happy about."
PAULI, ORIOL
"It was a game that we can learn many things from, even more in the second half. The game had two faces, in the first one they played more intense than us and in the second one we took a step forward. We always want to win, but these kind of games are good to learn from and to improve ourselves."

Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake review
Does the five-door Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake have the substance to back its style?
Up next: Design & styling
Engines & performance
Ride & handling
MPG & running costs
Prices & specs
Sometimes the word 'estate' doesn't quite cut it, apparently. Not content with introducing us to the concept of a four-door coupé, Mercedes-Benz is insistent about reintroducing the 'Shooting Brake' moniker for the five-door variant of its likeable CLS.
It's amazing how quickly you get used to an idea. Most of us were rather taken aback when Mercedes first launched the CLS, but it slotted swiftly and easily into the range and our understanding. It came across as more dynamic than the last generation E-Class on which it is based and almost as classy as (and undoubtedly more individualistic than) an S-Class. Unlike its larger sibling (as with Audi's A6 next to the A8), the CLS doesn't say that its driver is on his way to an airport departure lounge.

Quite what the Shooting Brake says is what we're here to find out. Logic dictates that if you want an executive-sized Mercedes-Benz with ample room in the rear, you'd buy an E-Class estate. But logic frequently works in mysterious ways, or not at all, in this sector, and sometimes what a car says about its owner is as important as what it does.

Q: Trying to access JSON array inside of array in PHP Guys This is my array and I want to access the variable from the array which name is time_array[]
{"type":"updatebusiness","provider_id":"1","business_name":"uur","email_work":"ndnnf@hmdmck.fkfm","phone_work":"8989889889","vat_no":"39r","address1":"gehjfmjhjfk","address2":"gehjfmjhjfk","postcode":"367383","latitude":"updatebusiness","longitude":"updatebusiness","time_array":[{"day":"Monday","start_time":"10 : 00 AM","end_time":"01 : 00 PM"},{"day":"Friday","start_time":"01 : 00 PM","end_time":"01 : 00 PM"}]}

and this my php code
$requestBody = file_get_contents('php://input');
$requestBody = json_decode($requestBody, TRUE);

            $time_array=$requestBody['time_array'];
            $json_array = json_decode($time_array,True);

            for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($json_array); $i++)
            {
                $day = $json_array[$i]->day;
                $start_time = $json_array[$i]->start_time;
                $end_time = $json_array[$i]->end_time;

                $insert_time="INSERT INTO `nesbaty_working_time` (`provider_id`,
                                                  `day`,
                                                  `opening_time`,
                                                  `closing_time`,
                                                  `time`,
                                                  `status`)
                                                  VALUES ('".$provider_id."',
                                                  '".$day."',
                                                  '".$start_time."',
                                                  '".$end_time."',
                                                  '".$date."',
                                                  '".$status."')";
                mysqli_query($con, $insert_time);

so I am confused that how to access array inside the array

A: You don't need to decode the $time_array variable again. Once you did:
$requestBody = json_decode($requestBody, TRUE);

You have access to the time_array like so:
$time_array = $requestBody['time_array'];

And than you can loop trough it like so:
foreach($time_array AS $time){
   $day = $time['day'];
   $start_time = $time['start_time'];
   $end_time = $time['end_time'];
   //Your insert query here
}

A: 1st time i have encoded data so whole array is converted in php string and the 2nd array which is inside is also converted in to string but now  i have encoded it again then again decoded and it works..
            $time_array=$requestBody['time_array'];
            $abc=json_encode($time_array);
            $json_array = json_decode($abc);

            for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($json_array); $i++)
            {

                $day = $json_array[$i]->day;
                $start_time = $json_array[$i]->start_time;
                $end_time = $json_array[$i]->end_time;

                $insert_time="INSERT INTO `nesbaty_working_time` (`provider_id`,
                                                  `day`,
                                                  `opening_time`,
                                                  `closing_time`,
                                                  `time`,
                                                  `status`)
                                                  VALUES ('".$provider_id."',
                                                  '".$day."',
                                                  '".$start_time."',
                                                  '".$end_time."',
                                                  '".$date."',
                                                  '".$status."')";
                mysqli_query($con, $insert_time);

            }
