One of the nice things about taking time off is the ability to spend a lot of time on things that you like to do but often don't have enough time to pursue. In my case, this means tennis (not worth blogging about, but funny to watch) and model boat building. I am just finishing off the cabin of the Yankee Hero as I write this. Although at times I feel like I am building a doll house, building the deck and the deck structures really gives a boat its character and imparts realness to a model.
I always think building the deck furniture is going to be easy. It certainly seems it after you finish either carving or planking the hull. Many kits, including the Yankee Hero, have laser cut, tabbed pieces which just fit together. Having said that, the human eye forgives some errors in curvature. It doesn't make those same mistakes with right angles. And , in my opinion, non-modelers look more carefully at the deck and masts than they do at the hull. So it helps to be careful.
Several tricks help. The most important is to use a block to help hold the pieces of wood as you glue them together. This keeps the corners straight. The second is to sand off any spare bits of wood on the pieces of wood. This also allows you to have a clean corner.
I am a great believer in using several coats of paint, particularly for light colors such as white, and sanding with fine sandpaper between coats. Its a pain to do, but it has a much better appearance when completed. A good paint job can also be used to cover up some pretty ugly errors!
Setting the cabin into the hull is always very exciting. Just make sure that the piece sits in the deck correctly before gluing it in. Sometimes you have to sand or cut part of the deck or bulkhead to make sure the cabin sits true.
The Yankee Hero kit has a well designed cabin that is reasonably easy to make. My only criticism is that they could have supplied a few more strips of 3/32" x 3/32" basswood. It needs to be rounded to make molding (see photo). Its easy to screw this up, and they don't give you much extra. They should.

RNC Spokesman Tells CNN That The GOP Is Cool With Mike Huckabee's Holocaust Comments
Politics, Recent News
It appears the Republican Party sent a clear message to its White House hopefuls on Tuesday morning that attacking one of their own is worthy of condemnation, but comparing the sitting President of the United States to Adolf Hitler is perfectly acceptable and well within the bounds of decency. Appearing on CNN's New Day Tuesday morning, RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer told host Alisyn Camerota that it isn't the party's job to tell its members how to speak about policy or what comments they should make. This was in response to GOP Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee saying that President Obama is leading Israelis "to the door of the oven" by making a nuclear deal with Iran.
Of course, this is a complete reversal to how the committee has reacted to personal insult spewing Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. Many times over the past few weeks, RNC leadership and other prominent GOPers have called on Trump to cool his rhetoric, especially when attacking other Republican candidates. (With 15 other GOP hopefuls, Trump has had ample opportunity to toss out dickish barbs.) However, making inflammatory and out-of-bounds statements about the Kenyan usurper Hussein Obummer is on page one of the RNC playbook, so have at it.
After Camerota played a clip of the Huckster wholeheartedly defending his comments to NBC's Matt Lauer Tuesday morning — coming on the heels of Huck making multiple media appearance on Monday where he doubled down on the remarks — she asked Spicer whether the RNC would condemn Huckabee's comments. Spicer said the following in response:
"Our job is not to sit here and call balls and strikes and talk about, 'Well, you shouldn't talk about this policy a particular way or you shouldn't describe it.' Governor Huckabee made his comments, he clearly then articulated why he made them — just with the clip you just made — and they should speak for themselves. It's not my job or the RNC's job to get in the middle and say don't talk about this way or that that way. We'll have conversations about what's in the best interest of the party privately. But we're not going to sit here and condemn someone for how they talk about a policy."
Translation: He said something critical of Nobama, which we fully support. But, he also labeled him a Nazi, so we can't come out and publicly back him. Now, if he said that a Republican Senator wasn't a war hero, then we'd have a problem. But, he didn't, so no foul.

But, genders are true and real only to the extent that they are performed Butler—9. Lobbying is a course that begins with an overview of the history of lobbying in the United States.
Butler's normativity argument is not straightforwardly directed at the metaphysical perspective of gender realism, but rather at its political counterpart: The Evolutionary Psychology of Women, Oxford: Distinguishing sex and gender, however, also enables the two to come apart: This account of gender essentialism not only explains social agents' connectedness to their gender, but it also provides a helpful way to conceive of women's agency — something that is central to feminist politics.
Women make up a series unified through women's lives and actions being organised around certain practico-inert objects and realities that position them as women. Kripkean identity essentialism and Aristotelian uniessentialism.
In addition to her revisionary argument, Haslanger has suggested that her ameliorative analysis of woman may not be as revisionary as it first seemsPrima facie, this implausibly implies that female and male bodies do not have independent existence and that if gendering activities ceased, so would physical bodies.
For this reason, one cannot generalize the subject of Muslim female political leaders. More and more entities are recognizing the power of micro-loans and how they can elevate an entire segment of society.
BachIn short, one is not a woman due to shared surface properties with other women like occupying a subordinate social position. A group of women attempted to establish a women's party after the rise of the Turkish Republic but were denied.
The breakdown across the geopolitical zones are as follows: The standard feminist debate over gender nominalism and gender realism has largely been about kind essentialism.

Indonesian Bomb Maker Tried to Recruit for IS in Philippines, Authorities Say
Richel V. Umel
Iligan City, Philippines
Residents drive past an armored personnel carrier carrying Philippine marines in the southern province of Maguindanao, where fighters of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) are known to operate, Dec. 24, 2015.
Police on Tuesday identified an Indonesian man arrested last month in the Philippines as an alleged terrorist bomb maker engaged in recruiting fighters for pro-Islamic State (IS) militants in the southern city of Marawi.
Mushalah Somina Rasim (alias Abu Omar) was captured March 10 in the town of Palimban in Sultan Kudarat province, about 149 km (93 miles) south of Marawi. The 32-year-old is being held by the immigration bureau in preparation for being deported, officials said.
At the time of his arrest, Rasim was believed to be spearheading a recruitment drive to boost the ranks of Ansarul Khilafa Philippines (AKP), a small militant group that has pledged allegiance to IS.
AKP is also referred to as Khalifa Islamiyah Mindanao, and its members are believed to have received training on bomb making from Indonesian and Malaysian militants who slipped through Mindanao's porous borders.
Police are ready to respond to any IS recruitment, regional police chief Marcelo Morales said, acknowledging that "there are still reported remnants and supporters of AKP who fled during law enforcement operations."
Morales said he believed that "Indonesian nationals were likely the ones spreading" terrorist ideology in the region. But he did not elaborate.
To prevent the influx of foreign fighters, Morales said, regional security officials have intensified patrols in coastal areas of Mindanao, the country's second largest island and home to a majority of 6 million Muslim Filipinos.
"We still have follow-up operations to accomplish more and we will intensify naval patrols," he said.
AKP leader Jaafar Sabewang Maguid (alias Tokboy) was killed in a firefight with police in January 2017.
Maguid's group was blamed for a 2015 grenade attack that killed a police officer and wounded dozens of civilians in the southern town of Maasim.
During Rasim's arrest, authorities recovered ATM cards, as well as Philippine and Indonesian currencies.
Police said he stayed for about a week in the southern city of General Santos, a kickoff point to launch meetings with Filipino militants from the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
BIFF is a splinter group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the country's main Muslim separatist force that signed a peace deal with the government in 2014.
Last year, militants led by Isnilon Hapilon – the acknowledged Filipino leader of IS Philippines – took over the southern city of Marawi and engaged security forces in five months of vicious fighting. Military officials said he was backed by an undetermined number of Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern fighters.
Hapilon along with several Filipino pro-IS leaders were killed in a clash in October, ending the siege that killed more than 1,200 people, most of them militants.

In two recent cases involving challenges to U.S. Forest Service projects under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Ninth Circuit emphasized that courts must accord substantial deference to the environmental analysis conducted by federal agencies. Earth Island Institute v. U.S. Forest Service (9th Cir. Sept. 20, 2012), and Native Ecosystems Council v. Weldon (9th Cir. Sept. 21, 2012).
In Earth Island Institute, environmental groups challenged the Forest Service's Environmental Assessment for the Angora Project, which seeks to reduce fire risk by removing trees from national forest lands in the Lake Tahoe basin. The plaintiffs challenged the scientific integrity of the EA, the Forest Service's response to dissenting opinions, and the consideration of proposed alternatives. Rejecting these challenges, the Ninth Circuit explained that in reviewing scientific issues "courts must defer to the informed discretion of the responsible federal agencies." It also explained that the NEPA regulations require responses to comments only for Environmental Impact Statements and not for EAs. The court also emphasized that even if agencies were required to respond to comments on an EA, the Service did not need to "perform the point-by-point type of counter-argument to experts that Plaintiffs appear to desire," since "our precedent makes clear that an agency need not respond to every single scientific study or comment." Finally, the court upheld the consideration of only two alternatives – the proposed project and the no action alternative – on the ground that NEPA's requirement to evaluate alternatives is less rigorous for an EA than it is for an EIS.
In Native Ecosystems Council, an environmental group challenged the Forest Service's EA for a similar type of fire risk reduction project in Montana. Echoing the decision in Earth Island Institute, the court rejected the claim that the Forest Service used an improper scientific methodology to evaluate impacts on elks, explaining that courts are required to "apply the highest level of deference" when reviewing scientific judgments by federal agencies. The court also stated that the Forest Service "is entitled to substantial deference" in the interpretation of its own regulations and forest plans.
The cases don't break new ground, but they reinforce important principles of judicial deference to federal agency analysis and decision-making under NEPA.


Modern science, ancient tea. They're coming together today in ways worth paying attention to.
Whether you're over 80, recently retired or related to somebody who is, new science shows green tea may hold the secret to a longer more satisfying life.
Most tea enthusiasts know green tea is good for you. What they may not know is that green tea may also prevent — or even reverse — the effects of Alzheimer's and other dementia related diseases.
Researchers have long suspected the buildup of toxic proteins known as amyloid plaque is at least partly responsible for the pronounced cognitive decline experienced by one-in-three North American seniors today.
Now they've discovered green tea helps prevent amyloid plaque from developing in the first place. It can also break down existing plaque and help build important new brain cells known as neurons. In fact, clinical tests show drinking green tea can reduce the risk of developing dementia-like symptoms by up to 54 percent. Using advanced imaging technology, scientists have also demonstrated that green tea elevates brain activity in the regions directly associated with functioning memory.
The likelihood that contemporary science may be on the threshold of an amazing breakthrough is due, in large part, to the powerful green tea catechin known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate or EGCG. EGCG is one of nature's most potent neuro-protective compounds as well as the most abundant polyphenol found in green tea leaves.
Matcha is a rich, high-quality, vibrant green tea grown and processed traditionally in Japan. One study suggests matcha contains 3 times more EGCG content than the largest "literature value" of other regular green teas. This is likely due to the fact matcha contains the entire tea leaf in powdered form, not just water infused through a tea bag or strainer.
Overall, green tea catechins have produced dramatic neuro-protective results in models of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In mammals, EGCG has been shown to reduce cognitive impairment along with what scientists call neuro-degeneration. It can scavenge oxygen-free radicals and reduce the inflammation common to many age-related afflictions.
The production of new brain neurons, or neurogenesis, is critical to brain function as we age and may serve as a new treatment strategy for a variety of dementia related disorders. Scientists have discovered that EGCG boosts the production of progenitors that transform into various types of neural cells.
Lab tests on mice show EGCG elevates brain function by improving both object recognition and spatial memory. Remarkably, animal tests also show EGCG promotes new neurons in the same part of the brain where neurons die due to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Could the same amazing results be demonstrated in humans? Four months of data collected from more than 1,000 Japanese volunteers aged 70 or more say yes! The Japanese data showed drinking two or more cups of green tea per day reduced the odds of cognitive impairment by 54% (over 4 times better than black tea or oolong tea).
Another study using neuroimaging to test healthy young adults showed green tea extract significantly boosts the level of activity in an area of the brain used to store information as well as to perform complex cognitive tasks like language and learning.

When you try and increase site traffic that's free, you definitely need to work on quality issues. Search engines rely on content; it must be unique, well crafted and non-spammy. Before you take up web business promotion, it is helpful to test the guidelines by which Google, Yahoo! and Bing play.
Site managers have even made lists with the systems that may increase page rank as well as with the schemes considered unsuitable with search engines. Such information could be truly convincing for any web marketing specialist, as there is always something new to learn on the web. Publish high-value content so as to increase free traffic to your site. It is not enough to create an article or 2 and post them on site without making any farther enhancements.
Try to imagine a visitor's reaction when it accesses your internet site and sees that all of the articles are from 2008. No updates? No fresh content? Is this business still functional? Would you not wonder similar things? periodical content refreshing does wonders to increase free traffic to your internet site. Also , search engines will give you a better ranking if you keep providing important information.
The strategies to extend free traffic to your site obviously oppose strategies that involve the purchase of links or pay-per-clicks. Although paid links appear like a great solution to obtain access to superior traffic levels without much effort, they are definitely a short-term solution, and there could be major effects if the links you pay for are bad quality. If you get links from link farms, search engines will react adversely to your internet site.
I recommend that you target those hard-work methods that permit you to increase free traffic to your site on the longer term. Aside from purchasing those various traffic software that will give you various strategies, you can also consider going for the "free" strategies. For example, it costs you nothing to post comments in forums or on chats and include links to your site. Another cost-free method to get more web visitors is by newsletters and referrals.You must reward those patrons that refer your internet site to friends, further passing on the news about your business.
The attempts to increase site traffic that's free are multilateral, no doubts about that. Holding to one methodology alone doesn't make allowances for full business development, and finally leads to failure because of the unfinished adaptation to the demands of the electronic market. Be flexible in planning and open to new bents because flexibility will work into your advantage, drawing more traffic from search engines.

Product just arrived midweek so two fussy shihtzus had their first meal yesterday.I mixed with a little cooked meat as this is how they usually take their dried food.Straight to their bowls & no problems tucking in,despite the change.Two happy,normally fussy shihtzus seemed impressed initially,so long may it continue.As the older dog is poorly it's good to see an empty bowl.

My dog has been on PURINA® PRO PLAN® DOG SMALL AND MINI ADULT 9+ WITH OPTIAGE™ - RICH IN CHICKEN for around 4 weeks now and she's loving it! We received it as part of a trial and I was dubious about whether it would help. She's a 9yr old lhasa apso and was beginning to show signs of slowing down and stiffen up. When we first switched her over to it she was picking all her previous brand out and dropping it on the floor and just eating the Pro plan! She has been much livelier the last two weeks, a lot more alert and even asking for food (she used to just graze). We're so pleased with her progress on it and amazed that it has actually made a difference.

My 10 year old border terrier is usually a fussy eater with a sensitive digestion. He has been gradually introduced to Purina® PRO PLAN® with OPTIAGE™ and is now eating it twice a day with no signs of an upset tummy. The kibble is small and easy for him to eat too.
I haven't noticed any changes in his energy levels yet but its early days as he's only been eating it for a week. He's an old dog so it may take a while to improve his joints and mobility.
Purina® PRO PLAN® with OPTIAGE™ is good value for money and I'll definitely keep him on this food if I see improvements to his health.

I've been feeding my 11 year old Jack Russel this for 2 weeks now. He has a touch of arthritis in his front leg and is just starting to slow down a bit so I'm happy to try anything that may keep him alert and happy for as long as possible. So far, so good. He's really enjoying it and had no trouble transitioning from his usual food to this. I intent to keep him on this for a while yet to see if i see the improvements it claims to offer.

I have been feeding my dog this product for a little over a month now and I am already seeing an improvement in his alertness and mental sharpness. As a 'senior' dog I want to keep him healthy and happy for as long as possible so I switched to this food as soon as I heard about it. He loves it, he can be quite picky but he really enjoys this and the special blend of vitamins and nutrients mean I know he is having a high quality diet. He seems to be brighter and more alert, his coat is glossy and his eyes are brighter. I am so glad I discovered this dog food, I will definitely continue using it.

Information Therapy: Patient Education at its Best
Keli Rising
MDNG Neurology, August 2008, Volume 9, Issue 8
Better patient education may help alleviate the rising cost of healthcare and lead to better health outcomes, because it helps patients make more informed decisions about their healthcare.
Better patient education may help alleviate the rising cost of healthcare and lead to better health outcomes, because it helps patients make more informed decisions about their healthcare. Although patients are taking a much more active role in maintaining their health than they were even five years ago, they still need guidance and education from their physicians; information therapy (Ix) can be an important part of this.
As the number of primary care physicians and nurses decreases, time becomes a precious commodity. In order to see as many patients a day as possible, physicians are often unable to spend enough time making sure their patients understand everything that was discussed during their visit and the instructions they were given. This is important because several studies have demonstrated that "people only really remember half of what they hear in the doctor's office and what they do remember, they get wrong," says Jan Oldenburg, Practice Leader, Health Portfolio, Kaiser Permanente Internet Services Group.
One way to alleviate this problem is through information therapy (Ix). The Center for Information Therapy, an independent organization originally founded by Healthwise, defines Ix as "the timely prescription and availability of evidence-based health information to meet individuals' specific needs and support sound decision making. Ix prescriptions are specifically targeted to an individual's needs at a particular moment in care and are delivered as part of the process of care." They are an easy, safe, and cost-eff ective way for physicians to give patients health information—whether it is in print or posted online—that they can review after their visit.
Technology's role
A physician may give his or her patient information during an appointment to review when he or she gets home, but how does the physician know if the patient actually looked at it? "If we provide information therapy where we tell patients to go to a website or give them brochures, it doesn't mean it happened," says Moe Ajam, PhD, president of Th e Patient Education Institute. "We have to simplify the information so it reaches all patients, and this is a very diffi cult job considering the diff erent learning styles and educational levels of patients." Although brochures and lists of websites could qualify as Ix and may off er more detailed, clinical information, educational information presented in a fun, interactive way is more likely to keep a person's attention; this is the advantage that comes with using technology like the Internet. "Technology itself can't solve the problem, but technology can be an incredibly valuable tool," says Seidman.
Who's leading the charge?
Many companies and organizations are developing Ix tools to present healthcare information to people using interactive technology through the Internet. Two groups leading the charge are Healthwise and The Patient Education Institute. Healthwise is a nonprofit organization that focuses on developing Ix tools to help people make better health decisions. "Our expertise at Healthwise is really taking the medical information and transferring it into a very accessible and useable form for the consumer," says Healthwise Chief Medical Offi cer Steven Schneider, MD. "As we transfer information to a consumer we have to think, 'What are they going to understand?' and 'What are they really going to want to know?'" The company offers a number of Ix tools, including Healthwise Knowledgebase and Ix HealthMastery Campaigns.
The Knowledgebase includes information on nearly 8,000 healthcare topics and includes such tools as a Drug Interaction Checker; Decision Points, which help patients make decisions about tests and treatment options; Actionsets, which help them make informed choices about managing chronic illnesses and take control over their health; Illustrations; Custom Connections, which feature customized links and messages from outside organizations; and Topic Development Process, which helps patients maintain up-to-date information through the assistance of the Healthwise Medical Review Board. Ix HealthMastery Campaigns are "ongoing, online self-management programs for people with complex, high-priority health issues" that "combine disease management interventions and live coaching practices in an online, interactive program so [physicians] can cost-eff ectively reach a larger population."
"Information therapy hooked with technology allows us to take advantage of the automation and [easily] move information back and forth between the doctor and the patient," says Schneider. The Patient Education Institute develops webcasts, illustrated handouts, and other Ix tools "to empower patients and healthcare providers through evidence-based patient education software that is engaging, eff ective, and ready to integrate with evolving clinical systems." Its flagship product, X-Plain includes "interactive patient education programs that use illustrations and animations to simplify concepts, narration to read the text, and questions to verify understanding."Featured topicsinclude diagnosis and therapy, patient population groups classifi ed by age and gender, health and wellness, topics not usually discussed, surgery and invasive procedures, and disorders and conditions by body location or system. There are two types of tutorials: public tutorials, which allow anyone to access healthcare information; and clinical tutorials, which are implemented in the clinical setting and require patients to complete programs designated by their physician. "Technology has been instrumental in making [Ix] efficient, taking the redundancy out of it, and automatically documenting it," says Ajam. Our healthcare system has many problems that need to be addressed. Some of the biggest problems include cost, quality of care, and staffing needs. Obviously, they will not be fi xed overnight, but physicians who use Ix might find that it can actually help alleviate some of the cost, quality of care, and staffi ng pressures by encouraging patients to take a more active role in their healthcare.
Ix benefits
Physicians who use Ix will find that it can help with some of the most important aspects of practicing medicine: cost, quality of care, staffi ng, and patient education.
Saves money
The rising cost of healthcare is putting the squeeze on patients and doctors. One way to help solve this problem is through more eff ective patient education (ie, Ix). "Many experts agree that [information therapy] is one of the best costeff ective ways of controlling major healthcare problems by providing information and ensuring that the patient understands it," says Ajam.
Improves quality of care
Physicians are seeing more patients a day than ever before, which might make monitoring patients' progress diffi cult; Ix can help improve quality of care. Patients now receive physicianapproved resources to learn not only about a specifi c medical condition or medical procedure, but also prevention methods and how to change lifestyle behavior. A well-informed patient is a better patient because they can make better personal health decisions. Information therapy is "part of the way that a doctor can help ensure that the [patient] actually understands the informational instructions that he or she has been given," says Oldenburg.
Helps with staffing shortage
The decreasing number of physicians will have an enormous impact on the quality of care and cost as the population ages. Ix helps with this, because physicians are able to provide further patient education outside of the offi ce, allowing for enhanced self-care. "As we give consumers these tools for managing their care and for connecting with other people, it really creates a lot of opportunities for more eff ective and effi cient care delivery," says Seidman.
Provides reliable resources
With the advent of the Internet, people have access to thousands of healthcare websites, many of which present unreliable information. This is a concern of physicians, because a lot of people use the Internet to look up healthcare information on their own. A Pew Internet survey in October 2006 found "about 85 million Americans look for health information online without consistently examining the quality or appropriateness of the information they find." The question is, "do they know how to determine if a website posts the most reliable and up-to-date information?" Ix is one way to make sure the right person receives the right information at the right time from his or her physician. "The transfer of information is the most important thing that happens in healthcare," says Schneider. "I think that [Ix] is going to be the core piece of every medical interaction."
The future of Ix
Information therapy might not be the end-all solution to the problems within our healthcare system, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. "I think what's guiding this trend is that patient education [leads to] better health outcomes, increases patient satisfaction, and reduces medical errors and perhaps liability," says Ajam. Since its introduction to the healthcare system, Ix went from physicians giving out pamphlets and handouts to physicians prescribing interactive, online health programs; Ix has evolved as technology has evolved. "Technology enhances our ability to present people with the right information at the right time," says Oldenburg. As technology advances, Ix will continue to evolve as a cost-eff ective tool that helps with staffi ng needs and helps improve quality of care.

Newspaper Digital Summary-6/15/2017


Fintech is a big deal.
What makes it such a powerful tool is how it works to effectively position your Financial Institution as an advocate your account holders.
Let me share a recent example of what a danger legacy business practices are in a world that has moved on.
Long distance. In the age of mobile phones and the Internet. I asked why it matters in today's mobile, interconnected world. They said long distance was extra.
But that wasn't the end of it. When they quoted me $2 a page for faxing – long distance - a document, I decided to scan it. I went to pay and I was told my card would be charged a $5 deposit – not toward the cost of my project, but a $5 fee that would be credited back to me in a couple days.
That means they charge me a high price and on top of that, hold onto $5 of my money for a couple days on top of it, for no particular reason, other than they can. You may be shaking your head at this kind of top-down business model. Or maybe you're not, which is kind of concerning. But it's not as unique as you may think. A lot of companies in a lot of industries have been continuing their legacy business models and not adapting to the modern world.
Is your financial institution one of them?
Because banking is so regulated, building in fees and various other types of revenue boosters have been a long established practice. But today, technology is changing the way neo-banks and fintech firms find opportunity without leaning on these age-old fee models.
They are completely re-thinking the model and looking to a new way to market to customers. They are using marketing tools to better understand their customers and are finding ways to better target the needs of individual customers.
They are curating the banking experience on a granular level. They are making it as frictionless as possible and as user-friendly as possible. They're making it accessible and convenient for the customer, not the FI. But all this doesn't mean you have to go out and buy a bunch of new technology. You already have the most important asset that any neo-bank or fintech could desire – customers that know you. You have relationships and that is the most valuable possession of all. What you need to do is to show those customers – consistently – that you are there for them, and not vice versa. You need to make it clear that you understand that if it wasn't for them, you would not exist.
Advocacy doesn't need the latest and greatest fintech tools. But if you have an advocacy-focused organization, then fintech can take it to another level. Finding ways to leverage your core advocacy role with technology is where FIs can make a huge leap in growing their base and increasing their business in an increasingly competitive world.
By leveraging your core competency for advocacy with new tools, you have a powerful advantage of building an experience that is customer-focused and customer-driven. It's not computer science – it's good common sense. And the best thing you can do for your business.

在很多时候,我们需要给一个Layout设置一个背景。例如,我们下下面的layout中使用了这样一个背景:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/antelope_canyon"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView01"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@+id/TextView01" >
    </TextView>
</LinearLayout>
```
其中的LinearLayout使用了 背景图片antelope_canyon。
如果仔细观察程序的运行过过程,我们首先看到了黑色的activity背景,然后才看到背景图被加载,那是因为在activity start以后,我们才能调用setContentView设置我们的layout,然后才绘制我们在layout中放置的背景图。而在此之前,程序中绘制的是android中默认黑色背景。 这样会给用户感觉我们的activity启动较慢。
然而,如果将背景图定义在一个主题中,如下:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
	<style name="Theme.Droidus" parent="android:Theme">
		<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/antelope_canyon</item>
		<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
	</style>
</resources>
```
然后在activity中使用这个主题:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.droidus"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".SpeedUpStartupActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.Droidus" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
</manifest>
```
运行程序,可以看到背景图马上显示了,没有再看到黑色的背景图。
为什么会有这样的现象呢?那是因为 程序的主题是在程序启动的时候加载的,而不是在activity启动之后加载!
而如果在layout使用背景,背景图是在activity启动之后才加载,故而会让用户看到一个黑色背景闪动的过程。


Dairy Specialist, Joe Patton discusses silage production, from the cost to key metrics for quality and the optimum cutting date.
Joe explains what to look for when analysing the quality of grass silage and what quality and quantity of silage is required for the various groups of stock on the farm.
Finally, Joe debates optimum cutting date to maximise quality and quantity. Importantly, one silage paddocks reach heading date, quality will decline by 0.5-1 unit per day.

Lots of little things today.
Worked through some newspaper accounts of trials in the Supreme Court in 1872 and was able to compile of a "chart" of the procedures. It seems much the same as modern procedures, just varying in the details. Whereas 50 years earlier, the procedure was different. I don't think I could do the same thing with working out the procedure for then as the reports tended to summarise events not give a blow-by-blow accounting.
Had to go into town to pick up 3 parcels. 3! Parcels are like buses. None for weeks and then they all come at once.
On the bus, did a bit of reading about smaller horse-drawn carriages. It's starting to make sense. Rather than just a bunch of random names for different sorts of vehicles, I am getting an idea of where the fit into the bigger scheme (and identify them from pictures). Probably somewhere out there there's a book that explains all this.
Finally worked out the whole timeline for the Wilmot Arms, which is definitely the lead contender for Most Confusing Hotel Timeline Ever. It goes something like this:
Once upon a time where was a hotel along Wellington Rd at the Sandhill called the Green Gate. Sandhill is down to the south, and used to be pretty much at the "entrance" to the town, so a good place to have a hotel, but then the licensing board decided they didn't want any hotels there and gave the landlord 12 months notice, so he moved to Wellington St, and then changed the name to the Golden Fleece, then moved himself to the Scottish Chief but just before that he got mixed up in a couple of scams and was sent to Norfolk Island. Meanwhile, back at Sandhill, the old Green Gate is relicensed as the Green Gate but then the name is changed to the Wilmot Arms, and then that moves into town to the corner of Brisbane & Wellington St (now Subway) previously the site of the Black Swan, which was one of the first hotels in town (some used to clam it was the first but if so, they forgot to get a license for a couple of years) and here the Wilmot Arms stayed for about 30 years but being an old building the licensing board started to grumble about it being an old building so it was moved around the corner to the site of the old Fire Brigade Hotel (the one opposite the cinema), which became the Wilmot Arms, for seven years until the license changed hands and the new owner changed it to the Fire Brigade Hotel.
Which all sounds nice and straightforward now I've worked it out. (So maybe the Courthouse is still ahead. That started as the Kangaroo Inn in Wellington St, moved to the corner, then became the Prince of Wales and moved down the street, and the Dolphin Inn, which was down Wellington St further, moved to the previous site of the Kangaroo and then became the Courthouse. But that was fairly easy to work out, as I knew the first bit, it was just trying to make that fit into a series of blog posts that was confusing, actually same with the Wilmot Arms.)

for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger--they, their kings, their leaders, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. "They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction. "But they put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. read more.
"But you who forsake the LORD, Who forget My holy mountain, Who set a table for Fortune, And who fill cups with mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword, And all of you will bow down to the slaughter Because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not hear. And you did evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight." Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. read more.
"Behold, My servants will shout joyfully with a glad heart, But you will cry out with a heavy heart, And you will wail with a broken spirit. "You will leave your name for a curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord GOD will slay you But My servants will be called by another name.
Thus says the LORD, "Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? "For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being," declares the LORD "But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word. "But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering is like one who offers swine's blood; He who burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol As they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, read more.
Now the LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying, "Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all the Amorites did who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols; therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am bringing such calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. read more.
'I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 'I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, and they will become as plunder and spoil to all their enemies; because they have done evil in My sight, and have been provoking Me to anger since the day their fathers came from Egypt, even to this day.'" Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
"For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken Him and turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and have turned their backs. "They have also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. "Therefore the wrath of the LORD was against Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, of horror, and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes. read more.
"But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion, And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, By which if a man observes them he shall live And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen. "However, You bore with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. read more.
For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, "Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns. "Circumcise yourselves to the LORD And remove the foreskins of your heart, Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Or else My wrath will go forth like fire And burn with none to quench it, Because of the evil of your deeds."
Then the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Can I not, O house of Israel, deal with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. "At one moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot, to pull down, or to destroy it; read more.

Hollyoaks' Edward Hutchinson to panic as his secrets unravel
Sophie Dainty
From Digital Spy
Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks villain Edward Hutchinson will panic when his dark secrets threaten to be exposed next month.
Edward (Joe McGann) is obsessed with having a long-term future with Diane, having successfully sabotaged her marriage to his son Tony.
More recently, Edward has recruited his daughter's boyfriend Kurt Benson into his manipulative scheme to keep Diane and Tony apart.
Photo credit: Lime Pictures
Confident that everything is going in his favour, Edward plans to propose to Diane, unaware that she could be slipping through his fingers.
That's because Diane is left raging with jealousy after hearing that Tony has
slept with another woman.
Unable to hold back, Diane confronts Tony, who responds by questioning why she's so bothered.
Diane attempts to keep up the facade by insisting that she's happy with Edward, but Tony takes the opportunity to admit that he still loves her and wants her back.
While Diane ponders what to do, another problem for Edward is unfolding elsewhere as Verity is rapidly losing patience with him.
As Verity grows increasingly angry with her dad over everything he's done, she is pushed to breaking point when Edward blames her for her mother's death.
Horrified, Verity swears revenge and vows to tell Diane everything.
As a result, Edward panics that his malicious secrets are about to come out and takes drastic action to silence someone he loves – framing Tony in the process. Who is in danger?

Italy's Mount Etna erupts at night time
At 10,926 feet, Etna is the continent's most active volcano and can burst into action several times in a year. Mount Etna often erupts but rarely causes damage and it is believed to have the longest written record of eruptions than any other volcano, with its first recorded observation going back to 425 B.C. Volcanic ash covered cars of the nearby small village of Milo, near Catania after the eruption from the volcano's southeast crater.

Diamond, the most adorable precious stone, is the only gem composed of just one element. It has only carbon in its chemical structure and the molecules of carbon are formed in a way that each is bonded to another with a perfect symmetry in every direction.
Diamond, the most adorable precious stone, is the only gem composed of just one element. It has only carbon in its chemical structure and the molecules of carbon are formed in a way that each is bonded to another with a perfect symmetry in every direction. Diamond owes its hardest natural substance to this extraordinary atomic structure. Its hardness is identified with a 10 on Moh's scale. It is hard insomuch that only a tool made from another diamond can cut a diamond. (relevantly, its name derived from Greek word adámas meaning, unbreakable or unalterable) In addition to its wondrous hardness, it is also famous for its perfect luster and its perfectly high dispersion rate of visible light. Its formation and the time passing during its formation are also what make a diamond distinguishable.
Diamonds were firstly found and mined in India 2,400 years ago and India is the first commercial producer of diamond. Today, they are mined primarily in South Africa, India and then in Brazil, Canada and Australia. In ancient Roman and Greek eras, diamond was believed to be the tears of God or the broken parts of stars fallen down the earth. Diamond was firstly mentioned in Roman literature in 1st Century AD which stated that the tips of Cupid's arrows were covered by diamonds. They wore diamonds as talismans since they believed them to have the protection power against evil. That belief is derived from Indian mythology in which diamonds were believed to be created of bolted lightning struck rocks. Moreover, in 13th century, a law in France prohibited to wear diamonds for people except for Kings and Queens.
And the first diamond ring from a man to a woman was given in 1477 by the Archduke of Austria to Mary of Burgundy.Known as the queen of the gems and the gem of queens, diamond is generally associated with being a symbol of power, strength, innocence and incorruptibility, longevity, constancy, and good fortune. It is also April birthstone and used as an official 60th year wedding anniversary gemstone. At Glamira, diamonds have a special place in designs of jewelry and are selected according to some criterias. The first and most important step to choose a diamond is the compliance with ethical commitment that it must be 100% conflict-free to be used in Glamira products.
Diamond BRIDAL SET
Diamond MEN RINGS
The colour of a diamond refers to the combination of three components: hue, saturation and tone. The color-grading scale for diamonds ranges from D to Z.. A perfect diamond, known as D colour, has no colour at all. H colour is the most suitable colour grade according to both the best price-performance ratio and the best harmony with designs.That's why at Glamira, diamonds in H colour are generally used. Diamond cut refers to the symmetry, proportioning and polish of a diamond which are adjusted during the cut process of the gemstone after it has been mined from the earth. All are done to deliver the magnificent return of light in a diamond. The cut is divided into 3 different grades; proportions, polish and symmetry. The cut range contains 5 grades; Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor. On the other hand diamond shape, which is generally confused with diamond cut, indicates a style or design used when shaping a diamond for polishing such as the princess-cut diamond. At Glamira, you can find many shapes of diamonds including princess, brilliant, round, trillion, cushion, heart, oval and emerald which you can use to customize your pieces As the result of carbon exposed to tremendous heat and pressure deep in the earth, all natural diamonds have a variety of internal traces called 'inclusions' and external traces called 'blemishes'. Diamond clarity refers to a diamond's purity and the criteria on clarity includes determining the number of these traces, their sizes, relief and position. To find an ideal price/quality ratio, it is important to know that tiny inclusions in the VVS1 to SI2 clarity grading scale cannot be noticeable to the naked eye. Glamira always uses the diamonds in VS (very slightly inclusions) clarity in its jewelry. And diamond carat is a measure to determine the size of a diamond according to its weight. It is one fifth of a gram (0.2 g) and a 1-carat diamond weighs 100 points.
Glamira creates unique diamond jewelry of necklaces, earrings, cufflinks and engagement rings and leave them upon your palms in order for you to customize them according to your fashion appetites. Diamond earrings including drops, hoops or diamond stud earrings are one of the best options you can personalize as you wish and carry to underline the brilliance of your beauty. Or you can have splinters of the stars around your neck in the form of a diamond necklace. Above all, you can let Cupid's irresistible arrows tipped with diamonds transform into diamond engagement rings and shoot that special lady in your life directly at her heart!

Q: Declaring a method to accept an unknown case class as argument to use it in pattern matching in Scala Imagine a class A that is abstract and has a set of case classes. We don't know how many set classes are or even the name those case classes have.
abstract class A(field: String)
//Example of a case class that extends A
case class B(f: String) extends A(f)

Now I have this:
a match {
    case B(f) => println("f")
}

And I want to pass the case class type by an argument into a method. The reason I want this is because I will configure a set of rules in a file. And I want to load those rules and use pattern matching with some info those rules provide. I want to do something like this:
def printer (a: A, B: A) = {
   a match{
       case B(f) => println("f")
   }
}

Is this possible?
If it isn't that easy can I use an abstract class in pattern matching? It would be perfect if I could simply use the abstract class since it has the main structure of all case classes.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that case classes can have different arguments so it would be good to use something based on class A (since I can do my pattern matching with the field only)

A: Not like you tried it. But if you use a Manifest as context bound, you can make it work:
scala> trait Foo
defined trait Foo

scala> case class Bar(baz: String) extends Foo
defined class Bar

scala> def boo[A <: Foo : Manifest](foo: Foo) =
     |   if (foo.getClass isAssignableFrom manifest[A].erasure) "foo" else "boo"
boo: [A <: Foo](foo: Foo)(implicit evidence$1: Manifest[A])java.lang.String

scala> boo[Foo](Bar(""))
res0: java.lang.String = boo

scala> boo[Bar](Bar(""))
res1: java.lang.String = foo

A: You can extract unapply method from the companion object of your case class and use it:
scala> :paste
// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)

abstract class A(field: String)
case class B(f: String) extends A(f)

UPD: Added usage with a variable number and type of arguments.

A: I don't get why you want to pass the type into the method. When you use pattern matching you check the type anyway. So why pass it in?
You can just write
abstract class A(field: String)
case class B(f: String) extends A(f)
case class C(i: Int) extends A(i.toString)

def printer (a: A) = {
   a match{
       case B(f) => println(f)
       case C(i) => println(i)
   }
}

El Libro de Mosíah es uno de los libros que conforma el Libro de Mormón, publicado por La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días. El título se refiere a Mosíah II, quien fue uno de los reyes nefitas de la ciudad de Zarahemla. Este libro cubre el período histórico comprendido entre el año 130 a. C. y el 91 a. C., exceptuando cuando el libro hace una analepsis al incluir el «registro de Zeniff», el cual habría comenzado el 200 a. C..

Para los miembros de la Iglesia de Jesucristo, este libro está  basado en el discurso del rey Benjamín (124 a. C.), Hijo del rey Mosíah I y segundo rey nefita que reinó en Zarahemla, además del registro de Zeniff (c. 200-120 a. C.) y los anales de Mosíah (124-91 a. C.).

Críticas sobre el Libro de Mosíah

Un elemento de crítica que ha sido propuesto como evidencia que el Libro de Mormón no puede ser de origen divino proviene del Libro de Mosíah. Fundamentado en las correcciones que ha recibido el Libro de Mormón desde su primera publicación en 1830, en el capítulo 21, versículo 28, Ammón le reporta al rey Limhi que quien puede traducir el libro de Zeniff al idioma de los nefitas es el rey Mosíah. En la primera edición de 1830, el mismo versículo decía que quien ejercía el derecho traductor era el rey Benamin, antecesor de Mosíah. El cambio se refleja incluso en las ediciones del libro de la Comunidad de Cristo, sin embargo no existen copias del manuscrito original del puño del escriba de Joseph Smith. Ninguna de las iglesias que utilizan al Libro de Mormón como texto canónico ha presentado una explicación oficial del cambio, por lo que se debate entre críticos y apologéticos, la razón del cambio, en especial, por razón de que era probable que para cuando Ammón se entrevistó con Limhi, el rey Benjamín ya habría fallecido. Esta discrepancia es publicada con frecuencia por autores opuestos a la divinidad del Libro de Mormón, posición que asumen las iglesias del Movimiento de los Santos de los Últimos Días, argumentando que si el libro es de origen divino, no debería justificarse ese error.
