Guidance for Referees
Thank you for agreeing to be a referee for a candidate who has applied to a Catholic school.
We believe that Catholic education is more than simply following a curriculum or listing aspirations
in a mission statement. It is learning in a way in which all members of the school community are invited
to be open to God in their lives and the lives of others, and, where the grace is given, to encounter
the person of Jesus Christ.
With the head teacher as chief catechist and leader of the school, the teaching staff in particular
are asked to interact with the young people in their care in a way which embodies and makes real
the ideals of the Gospel, love of God and love of neighbour.
For most, faith, ideals and values are not 'caught' by reading a book but in relationship with another.
Staff in a Catholic school are asked by the Church to participate and support activities which underline the importance of these for a Christian community.
For those who directly lead young people in learning about their faith, being a part of the believing community is essential. The importance of staffing our schools with suitable personnel
cannot be overestimated.
Approbation of staff in a denominational school is also a legal matter. According to Scottish Law,
any teacher appointed to a recognised denominational school is required to be '...approved as regards religious belief and character by representatives of the church or denominational body in whose interest
the school has been conducted." (Education (Scotland) Act 1918; 1980; Self-Governing Schools etc. (Scotland) Act 1989).
Where rights are given responsibilities also exist. Along with the approval of the religious syllabus in Catholic Schools, the authority, both in civil and church law, for the approval of teaching staff in Catholic schools in Scotland lies with the bishop of the diocese and his delegates.
Why am I being asked to be
a referee?
To ascertain whether a candidate is suitable
for a particular post, we ask for two referees.
A referee in the case of the approval process
for teaching posts in Catholic schools is someone
who knows the candidate well enough to give some indication as to their character
and religious beliefs.
The referee is not being asked to comment on their professional ability or qualification as a teacher.
Any information or comments made on the candidate will be kept in the strictest confidence
and will follow the diocesan policy in its compliance with regulations concerning the safeguarding
of personal data
When Catholic candidates approach priests
for a reference
Parish or assistant priests are asked to give references only to people that they know. Usually, the priest will be a priest of a parish where the candidate lives. If a priest is asked for a reference from someone who attends his church regularly but does not actually reside in their parish, then, as long as that priest is satisfied as to their practice and knows them reasonably well, they can be considered, within
the Diocese of Dunkeld, as their primary referee.
It may be courteous and advisable, wherever possible, for said priest to notify the parish priest
of the parish in which the candidate resides so as to 'keep everyone in the loop', as it were.
In each case,the priest is asked to re-familiarise himself with the 'Charter for Catholic Schools',
a copy of which should be given to him by the candidate and can be downloaded here.
If the person applying for a post in the Catholic school is not known to the priest who has been asked for a reference, the priest must refuse to give the reference, even if the family is known to him.
It could be considered illegal to give a reference for someone not known to the referee.
In the case of a non-practicing Catholic, then
that person is encouraged to have a conversation
with their church representative.
If the person applying for the post is known
to the parish priest, and he (or another priest) is happy to give
a reference as to their religious belief
and character, then this is permissible and may even lead
to closer ties. Again, they should have to hand a copy
of the 'Charter for Catholic Schools.'
Non-practicing Catholic
Practicing Catholic
It may be that the candidate is a practicing Catholic and is known to another priest, or the previous parish priest, or some other person, in which case they can be encouraged to approach that individual.
If the individual concerned is a non-practicing Catholic and is unknown to the priest, they can be pointed to another type of referee.
When someone other than a priest is approached
to give a reference
A candidate for a teaching post in a Catholic school may approach a professional person who knows them well enough to attest to their religious belief and character. If someone is approached to offer
a reference, it may be by someone who is asking them to be a 'second referee' or, in the case
of someone who is not a Catholic or a Catholic who does not attend church, they may be asked
to be the primary referee.
If you are comfortable with this, in that you know the person well and have some idea of what working in a Catholic school entails, this may not be too onerous. However, it may be that you do know
the person but have little idea of what working in a Catholic school involves or be unsure
of the suitability of the person for such a post.
The referee is not being asked to make a moral judgement on
the person but to attest to their suitability for a particular post,
in so far as they are able.
The Church is asking a great deal of such a referee and appreciates the time you take
to consider the matter carefully. The candidate should have provided you with a copy
of the 'Charter for Catholic Schools.' If they did not, then please ask them for a copy.
A referee is being asked to give some indication of the candidate's religious belief and character.
The Church, as with other institutions simply asks for honesty in references. For example, the candidate may be a perfectly good person and/or a close friend but if the referee has certain knowledge that
they do not support Catholic schools or are averse to Catholicism, then it is inappropriate for them
to be teaching in a Catholic school.
If you are unsure of what is being asked of you, then please contact the church representative
for the council in which lies the school to which the candidate has applied.
Below is a list of church representatives.
Many thanks for taking the time to give a reference and to read this document.

5 Mechanical Champions You Need to Master in LoL
Just like in any other game, in League of Legends, you have two types of players. The first type are those players who enjoy playing mechanically easy champions. The second type are those players who enjoy taking on the challenge that mechanically difficult champions have to offer.
How do we determine which champion is mechanically "easy" and which champion is mechanically "difficult?" Basically, this scenario is based on how many maneuvers or skill-shots a champion has.
Many of us have at least one friend who chooses champions like Garen or Darius. Why do they choose such champions? Because they don't require a whole lot of skill to passively play.
Hear me out before you judge me because I said that Darius and Garen are easy-to-play champions:
We aren't implying that the champions who have the "point and click" abilities are horrible because this couldn't be further from the truth. It just means that these types of champions don't require a lot of effort to play – they're the type of champions a player would choose if they want to sit back and chill while playing the game.
In this post, we will take a close look at the mechanical champs – we haven't placed them in any particular order. Just be warned that these mechanical champions may be fun to play, but they're going to be hard to master. If you're up for the challenge, look at the mechanical champions you need to master in LoL …
1. Lee Sin
2. Ezreal
3. Vayne
4. Zed
5. Akali
Needless to say, Lee Sin is a pretty slippery champion as he jumps from ally to enemy. With his W – Safeguard/Iron will and his Q – Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike, he's a pretty tough character. Still, he is super fun to play once you master him. He does a great job when it comes to bouncing over the walls and taking a Dragon (just the type of champion we like).
If you have ever had Lee Sin behind you with his QW combo, you know you're in for a surprise. From there, he can kick his enemy right into his teammates so fast that the enemy target won't even know what hit them.
When Ezreal was first released back in 2010, many League of Legends players took to him. Since then, he has been reworked quite a bit, but those reworks have made him an even better champion. If you've ever experienced Ezreal's Essence Flux and Mystic Shot combo (WQ), you will know what we are talking about here.
Nearly all of Ezreal's kit is skill shot based, so it's going to take some time to master, but it's well worth it because his high damage potential is out of this world. He's an excellent choice for those high ELO players that are looking to make some impressive moves. In any scenario, using his E, Arcane Shift, he is capable of engaging and disengaging, which will come in handy.
Mind you, if you're a casual gamer, you're probably not going to take very well to Ezreal, because he can take hours to master.
Vayne is a tremendous mechanical champion. In the beginning, she is a bit on the weak side, but you'll start to recognize her strength towards the mid-phase of the game. Once you're able to master Vayne's mechanical skillset, you're going to love this champion.
You're not going to see Vayne's real side until level 6, which is when her ultimate ability becomes available for you to use. W, Silver Bolts are epic as they are capable of taking down tanks. With her Q, Tumble, she can roll and issue an enormous amount of damage to her enemy target.
With Vayne's Q, Tumble, this champion has a lot going on. There are some cases where her Tumble ability can cause her to miss-roll, landing her slap dab in the middle of the enemy. Since she is such a squish character, she dies almost instantly. However, when she doesn't miss-roll, she is capable of landing some skillful power shots.
Zed is a well-known champion in League of Legends due to how his kit is designed. His kit is highly mechanical, allowing him to make some fantastic tactical kills and outplays. As long as the player does the right combo, this champion can dish out an unsuspecting death.
His mechanics work great together and are smooth. His ultimate R, Death Mark, and his W, Living Shadow, allow him to deal extra damage, become untargetable, chase, engage, disengage, juke and escape.
Zed has a versatile skillset, so there's no set way to play him – we've noticed that most professionals have their own style of playing this champion.
Akali is the type of champion that does well in pretty much any ELO. What we're saying here is that even low levels are capable of playing Akali, but she's not going to reveal her real mechanical side until she's at a higher level.
If Akali gets hit by Crowd Control, she's done, so this is something she needs to learn to dodge. Higher ELO players know when to use a CC ability to stop a champion in their tracks. When you're playing this champion, you need to know when to use your E (Shuriken Flip) to get onto targets and know when to use your W (Twilight Shroud) to bait or juke. Yes, Akali has simple aims, but it can take some time to master her.
Why would anyone want to play a mechanically challenging champion? The answer is simple; because it's fun to train and master these types of champions because once you master it, you will deal a lot of damage to your enemies. So why not play a champion that is mechanically challenging?

A lot of drama in the selection, Algy. For a' that, I would give it to The Clash for setting dramatic effect .. Think back that the piano on Style Council has great tuning that reminds me of pitching for a vocal note by looking across the top of it rather than at it. Not sure what to make of The Cure. I get stirred by the theatre of it all tonight anyway. On way notice this, algy.
I'll have to look at the family history there shoe, Someone there shares a family name.
Back to the top: That's Entertainment and Paris Match, The Jam and The style Council, both enjoyable.
When I'm preparing its maybe 6 at a time. Too hard otherwise.
Actually I did not know the Jam one. Style Council – so good but I always adored Shout to the Top – the music more than the song. The kind of music which really gets into me – love it.
I should be doing more pruning but got sick of being pricked by that grevillia (rosemaryfolia).
More style and subtle yet oomphy stuff in the past. Very little new stuff inspires me. Can't stand rap and all that rude black music. Lady GaGa gets it – does old stuff and appears with the Stones and she is only 24 or thereabouts. Pop Asia music – lovely I guess but all starts to sound the same too often and the boys are prettier than the girls !!! 🙂 Did you know that the John Farnham and whatshisname from the Commodores was sold out and was a blast.
Springsteen – the River – great. But I do so adore Hungry Heart and Dancing in the Dark.
Funny thing happened last week – driving in my car listening to my Dragon cd, switched back to ABC radio only to hear the same song I just heard – thought I was going off for a moment.
At least when you talk with yourself no-one talks about or give you grief. I'm cool with that.
I do try for something different each time you know Vivenne hence The Paris Match. That's Entertainment had to be the theme song this week though.
Of course and it's perfect what you do. Because going to Style Council on YouTube means you are reminded of other songs and listen to more. Excellent.
Now I've got myself totally distracted but it is certainly entertainment. Hot August Night ….
Crunchy Granola on now. Diddly dee dee diddly do – but what a band !
I know Algy – I've done it before on your music show. See how you inspire me. It's all happy.
Meanwhile the rack of lamb is ready to go in the oven – vegies prepped. I'm ready for a nice sherry and I'll be turning off soon.
Much here to enjoy, alge. So far I have listened to Springsteen's River, which I like, and now a bit of Nick Cave…more tomorrow.
Thank you helvi much to like here.
The River is my favourite.(Bruce Springsteen.) Beautiful song, agonisingly simple, but a masterpiece of haunting music.
I think I must be a bit of a closet Springsteen fan, much of his work has this simplicity.
I was listening to most of these bands over the last couple of weeks, algy setting up a scene in my head of the background to music I was hearing in Auckland 1983 through to say 1990. So little time. So much to be nerdy about. I will get into these tomorrow. Many thanks for putting on a gig in the Ballroom, algy. Hitting the sack, Goodnight, piglets.
Thanks shoe, I was reminiscing about our trip yo Europe with Mrs a during the week. That was the inspiration for this lot.. Its interesting how music can take us to places.
Love Style Council Ace, good choice.
I like much of the Style Council HOO. A natural progression for Paul Weller.
You've done it again Algy. Think I will listen to these (not new to me thank you) tomorrow. The tumble dryer is in full mode in the background. We've had good rain.
I'm getting a bit sick of all that rain…still everything looks nice and lush, and no constant watering needed.
Thought these would have been familiar to everyone. Not much rain here though, threatening a bit but that's all.
We're not that fat apart Helvi and we haven't anywhere near the rain you have.

Cllr Mark Lygo on his visit to Ramallah
ORFA hosted a meeting in the Town Hall in 2022 to hear Cllr Mark Lygo speak about his recent visit to Ramallah. Sharing stories about the people he met, he said he wanted to encourage an exchange of cultures between Ramallah and Oxford, with further visits from both sides. He told members of Mandala Theatre Company, who would visit Ramallah in July, that 'you can achieve peace with storytelling'.
Avi Shlaim, ORFA Patron, spoke at the meeting, briefly giving some political and historical background about the situation for people in Palestine. He said 'the only hope for Palestinians lies in law, politics and civil change. Palestinians are normal people who want what normal people everywhere want, which is to live in peace and dignity'
Yasmin Sidhwa, also an ORFA patron, spoke about her vision for bringing young people of Oxford and Ramallah together through theatre. She said she was very excited that Mandala Theatre would be going to Ramallah to take part in the International Drama Festival in July.
During his visit, Mark was presented with a beautiful hand embroidered logo for the Oxford Ramallah Twinning, made by stitchers in the Womens Centre at Al A'mari Refugee Camp.

Winter appeal raises £2100 for Palestinian refugee families

'Thank you for your help and support'
ORFA's winter appeal raised a total of £2100 to support families in Am'ari Refugee camp, where the Coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated an already difficult situation.
The money from Oxford has been used to buy olive oil, winter clothes and blankets for families affected by Coronavirus in the camp.
ORFA worked with the Women's centre, a key democratic and non-aligned institution in Am'ari camp, to identify what was most urgently needed and to distribute items to families in need.
Refugees in the camp, who are living between the pandemic and the occupation, have difficulty in self-isolating due to overcrowded homes with several generations living together.
Many workers are daily paid and unemployment is high. The pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on this disadvantaged community and there are many young children in the camp living with inadequate resources.
A first payment of £1000 was sent in November 2020 and a second payment of £1100 was sent in January 2021.
Pictured here are some of the items distributed to families, and Naifa, one of our friends in the Women's Centre, with a box of supplies.
Clothing for families
"We thank Oxford Ramallah Friendship Association, a lot, for the help and support since in Am'ari camp health is going down because of the rise in the number of infected people. The government and the UNRWA cannot support us fully since they have financial problems."

Arcam re-entered the Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) market with the introduction of the rDAC a few years ago. The stand-alone DAC concept was not new to the Arcam team as they were the first company to ever launch an affordable outboard DAC back in 1989. Building on the rDAC's success, and incorporating feedback from enthusiastic rDAC owners, the Arcam engineering team have produced the irDAC, an enhanced design that raises the performance bar and is delightfully simple to use.
The irDAC, so called because it features infra-red remote control, owes much to the development programme behind the reference D33 DAC. The irDAC comes packed with cutting edge technology that brings high-end performance to a wide array of sources. It's outstanding sound quality will deliver sheer musical enjoyment for all music lovers.
The irDAC is designed to be the heart of a digital system and can be connected to a host of different types of digital sources and connections. This includes asynchronous USB and direct iPod connection, taking the digital signal direct from an Apple device for optimal sound quality. All of the inputs can be controlled through the irDACs IR remote handset that also controls PCs, MACs and iPod® / iPhone® / iPad® devices via the HID (Human interface device) controller.
An enhanced design that raises the performance bar and is delightfully simple to use.
The irDAC - 'All the DAC you're ever likely to need' Says Hi-Fi Choice!


Did you know that you could turn a blog into a business and make the blog posts that you write pay your income? Though many people first think of Google AdSense and its ads, but there are other ways that you can make money and launch a business from your blog. As long as you pick a topic that interests you and have the ability to make frequent posts, you can turn your interest into money.
Amazon is just one online company that has an affiliate program in place. Another example of an affiliate program is the one maintained by eBay. You agree to place an ad capsule on your place that displays one or more ads for products on those sites. When readers see those ads, follow the links and buy products, the program pays you a small amount based on how much the shopper purchases. The ads generally use the keywords in your blog post to determine the products to show. Some affiliate programs will let you select the products that you want to display on your page.
There are two different ways that you can turn a blog into a business via advertising space. The first is with the use of ads through AdSense or another program. Similar to affiliate ads, you receive money when people make purchases through those ads, but you also earn money when your readers view those ads. If you have a large number of readers, you can also sell advertising space on your site. Companies will pay you a set rate to run banners and other ads on the side or top of the blog.
Using your blog as a way to offer a valuable service is another way to make money. If you are a crafting enthusiast, baker or cook and love showing off what you make, you can offer your products for sale on your site. You can also include links to any online stores that you have. Others use their blogs as a way to upload content that relates to the services they offer. For example, a landscaping company might post blogs about caring for different types of plants and outdoor decorating ideas with a link at the end of each blog to their contact information.
Entrepreneur recommends that you turn a blog into a business via merchandising. If you have a large amount of readers, you can sell shirts, coffee mugs, calendars and hundreds of other items with your blog logo or images from your blog on the front. There are several websites that let you upload images and design your own products. Readers will purchase those items, and the site will produce and mail the products before sending you a check. Branding your blog works best when you receive a high number of unique page views every day and you have dedicated readers who return to your blog every day.
Unique content and frequent posting can help you increase the number of views your blog gets. As your readership grows, you can look for ways to make money off your site. Branding your blog, offering a valuable service and using ads of different types can help you turn a blog into a business.


Hospital emergency departments (EDs) were initially designed to provide immediate care for patients experiencing acute medical conditions and serious trauma victims. Once patients were stabilized they were either discharged home or transferred to another location for more advanced and specialized care. Now, EDs are experiencing increased use by people who do not have a primary care provider and use the ED for routine medical care. The increased inappropriate usage of the ED places an increased stress on already strained healthcare resources.
EDs have responded to the increased usage for non-emergent services by offering many more resources than the original emergency room. Now the ED has more diagnostic and treatment options than were previously intended. The ED now is a self-sufficient unit within the larger medical center, and has become integrated into the patients' continuum of care. In-house specialty consultations are usually immediately available as are advanced diagnostic studies. This has perhaps led to a perpetuation of the misuse of the modern day emergency department.
An increasing problem is the misuse of emergency services by patients who do not have a primary care provider and use the ED for routine and non-urgent care. Less than 10% of emergency room visits are actually emergencies. More than half of the patients that present to the ED could be better served by being treated in place (home, skilled nursing facility, occupational health office, or added on to a PCP schedule). One-third of ED visits could be treated in a Primary Care Provider office. It has been well established treatment in Emergency Departments is more expensive than in any of the above mentioned potential care settings.
Despite the high cost of ED services non-emergent use of emergency services continues to grow. Many non-urgent ED visits could have been avoided if patients had a pre-existing relationship with an accessible primary care provider. In addition to the financial cost, crowded waiting areas, long wait times, actual and potential delays in receiving medical care patients are subjected to increased risk for medical errors, exacerbation of pre-existing conditions, and nosocomial infections. ERs will be swamped in the middle of the flu season with a combination of patient types some with actual flu or swine flu while others have minor sprains. Now the person with the sprain has been exposed to the highly contagious flu.
The medical house call has started to make resurgence in many parts of the country to help address many of the primary preventative non-urgent care needs of patients. The average ED visit in NYC can cost upwards of $ 800 and brings with it the risks of medical errors due to many different health care providers, loss of work and wages due to prolonged wait times, and infectious disease risk due to the gathering of people with airborne illness (Influenza, H1N1, staph and strep infections).
The average cost of a medical house call in NYC ranges from $ $ 150- 600 and greatly reduces the risk of nosocomial infections, saves time and reduces lost wages because the patient is able to wait in the comfort of their own home. Often times being able to see the patients normal environment can provide many clues for diagnosing a condition at a fraction of the cost of the ER visit. One hospital in Connecticut has even gone to posting wait times on line for their ERs so patients can log on and see how long it will take to be seen. As much as policymakers say they would like to reign in cost of health care clearly some have decided if you can not fix the problem you may as well feature the problem.
The modern day medical house call can now offer many of the same services that were once only available in the emergency room. In the modern day medical house call patients can have comprehensive physical exams that include blood work, EKGs, x-rays, and ultrasounds (cardiac echo, carotid Doppler studies etc). These tests are often sufficient to provide the needed data to make a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan. Another benefit of the medical house call is the clinicians that are seeing you are able to give you their undivided attention. Also you will be able to see the same health care provider as opposed to the doctor of the day or medical resident. Another advantage of the medical house call is the increased privacy that you are afforded by the nature of staying in your home. If patient use the medical house call for their primary care needs as well as their sick day needs they may be able to spare themselves the stress and risks of a trip to the emergency room.
Some common conditions that can be treated in the home include common pulmonary infections (pneumonia & bronchitis), gastrointestinal conditions (stomach flu & abdominal pain), dermatological conditions (2nd degree burns, acne, rashes), chronic conditions (diabetes, COPD, hypothyroid , obesity, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure), urological problems (urinary tract infections, prostate inflammation, kidney stones), and dehydration. One preventative care measure that can be done in the home that is not typically done in an ER or even a traditional doctor's office is health behavior counseling for lifestyle modifications. Typically this is done in doctor's offices and Emergency rooms by giving you a generic handout. The reason for this is because the traditional care environment is focused doing the least amount of care possible to meet the needs of the masses that are waiting to be seen.
Emergency rooms were initially designed to treat acute medical conditions and to stabilize trauma patients before they are transfer to the appropriate treatment location. Unfortunately, EDs have also become a place to seek treatment for many people who do not have a primary care provider. As a result, the numbers of emergency visits has increased, although the reasons for the visits are often not emergencies. Non-emergent visits are causing a huge backlog of real emergency patients and increasing the amount of money spent on healthcare.
A new medical house calls company in NYC has recently opened which allows patients to communicate with their PCP online via a secure patient portal. Patients can request appointments online. The Nurse Practitioner arrives at the patient's home, office or hotel usually the same or next day. The NP can diagnose the problem, order tests (most of which can be done at the patients home) and electronically submit a prescription to the local pharmacy that can typically deliver the medication. The company also offers established patients the convenience of web-cam follow-up appointments and email consultations, which allows patients to take their primary care provider with them when they travel. All of this costs a fraction of what the starting price of an ER visit would be. Patients can use their flex spending and health savings accounts or major credit card to pay for this service. As the debate over health care continues more and more innovative and market solutions will answer the call to solve the nations health crisis. The problem will be if policy is made to stifle innovation.

Less than 24 hours after President Trump ordered suspending granting of asylum to migrants crossing the U.S. border, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is seeking to block these new restrictions. The order would ban migrants from applying for asylum outside of U.S. official ports of entry. It would also suspend the granting of asylum to migrants who cross the U.S. border with Mexico illegally for up to 90 days. The proclamation will stand for 90 days or until the U.S. reaches an agreement with Mexico concerning asylum seekers.
The ACLU, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Center for Constitutional Rights, filed the lawsuit on behalf of several immigrant advocacy groups in federal court Nov. 9. The advocacy groups are seeking a court order that would temporarily prevent the government from restricting asylum applications as restrictions have gone into effect. The ACLU released a statement challenging President Trump's new asylum ban.
"President Trump's new asylum ban is illegal. Neither the president nor his cabinet secretaries can override the clear commands of U.S. law, but that's exactly what they're trying to do. This action undermines the rule of law and is a great moral failure because it tries to take away protections from individuals facing persecution — it's the opposite of what America should stand for," Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said in a press release.
The Immigration and Nationality Act says that people may apply for asylum "whether or not" they enter the U.S. at a port of entry. The Trump administration wants to change that "or not" part.
There has been a massive backlog in recent months at border crossings in California, Arizona and Texas. In some cases some people are waiting five weeks to try to claim asylum at San Diego's main crossing. When someone enters the U.S. without papers they are subject to deportation without a court hearing, unless they say they want to claim asylum or fear persecution in their home country. In those cases, they're entitled to an interview with an asylum officer. It's there where the person makes their claim for asylum and the officer determines if there is "credible fear".
Yet this new rule in place would change the way an individual would claim asylum. A person who enters the U.S. from Mexico without papers between ports of entry would still get an interview with an asylum officer. But the asylum officer is required to check not for a "credible fear of persecution" but instead a "reasonable fear," which is a higher standard. It requires not just a significant chance of persecution but a determination that persecution is more likely than not. The "reasonable fear" screening has historically been used for immigrants who've already been ordered deported and returned to the US, and immigrants who have crime records.
The ratio of both interviews shows huge contrasts with one another. About 75 percent of all asylum seekers pass when it comes to credible fear interviews and a little more than 25 percent pass reasonable fear interviews.
This isn't the first time the Trump administration has tried to change immigration polices.
The Trump administration has tried to change immigration policies before and most have been put on hold or taken down by federal judges. The first travel ban back in January 2017, the family separation policy in June 2018 and the administrations continued efforts to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, have all been met with legal roadblocks.
President Trump's plan to change border laws might have bigger implications when it comes to all that seek asylum.
Although the rule change was aimed at the caravan of families from Central America moving slowly toward the U.S. border, it will have huge implications for asylum seekers of all kinds. The U.S. rules for asylum seekers were designed in cooperation with the United Nations and are protected by federal law. If President Trump is allowed to change the rules for one group of asylum-seekers, he may try to do that for all of them.

📒 How to Find Vulnerabilities in My WordPress Website?
WordPress is one of the most widely used Open source CMS tool that powers millions of websites. This popularity of WordPress has made it an important target for web attackers. The WordPress team is sharing security guides timely to protect the websites from web vulnerabilities and even the protection is tightened down by many websites. But still, there are some websites that are vulnerable due to several reasons.
In this article, we will be highlighting the major threats to your WordPress Websites and how to identify & remove WordPress vulnerabilities alongwith tips to Avoid Common Web Security loopholes.
This kind of WordPress vulnerability allows an unauthorized user to change the content of any blog, post or page within a WordPress Website. When a web application is not securely handled, it becomes an easy target for WordPress hackers to supply content via a parameter value which will modify the contents of the page. As the page is linked with a trusted domain, the user believes that the certain content appearing on the Web site is legitimate and not from an external source.
How To Fix Content Injection Vulnerability in WordPress?
Enable the automatic updates on your websites as soon as possible.
In order to enable automatic updates in WordPress versions 3.7 or later, you will need to look for the code used to disable the option in the wp-config.php.
Open the File Manager and then go to the WordPress installation files. You will need to find your wp-config.php file.
Click on SAVE in order to save your changes.
Update the plugins as well to avoid an injection of any kind of plugin-specific shortcodes injection to exploit vulnerabilities to infect the site content with an SEO spam campaign, or inject ads, etc. Depending on the plugins enabled on the site, even PHP code could be executed very easily.
Secure your logins by updating them timely.
XSS Vulnerability is one of the most common attacks in which malicious code is injected directly into a vulnerable web application. In Stored Cross-Site Scripting, the vulnerability occurs within the WordPress editor, responsible for the creating and editing all of the WordPress posts, pages, and topics (in bbPress).
The perpetrator injects malicious script on your website which steals visitors session cookies for every site visitor and thus can steal sensitive information. By acting on the behalf of an administrator user, he can send authenticated requests to edit the website's current PHP code, leading to Remote Command Execution (RCE) and complete takeover.
The figure below illustrates a step-by-step walk through of a simple XSS attack.
This is a serious vulnerability that can be misused in different ways to compromise a vulnerable site. If you believe your WordPress site is hacked, you can use our WordPress cleanup services.
This plugin encode the following signs and then Remove some XSS signs from the URL.
These methods—validation, sanitation, and escaping—prevent all types of XSS attacks.
Sql is a standard command language used in MySQL database. SQL injection is a type of attack triggered by embedding commands in a URL that reveals sensitive information about database thus permitting a hacker to enter the website and potentially change the original content of your website.
Whereas, URL hacking is another attempt to trigger unintended PHP commands that leads to injecting malware to your website or revealing sensitive information.
How to fix SQL Injection in WordPress?
Most WordPress installations are hosted on the popular Apache web server. which uses a file named .htaccess to define the access rules for your web site.
A thorough set of rules can prevent many types of SQL Injection and URL hacks from being decoded and thus secures your website from many dangerous attack injections.
Focus on sanitizing and escaping anything you may send to the database.
As the name suggests, this type of vulnerability is encountered when hackers try to login your administrator panel using login guess. Hackers often rely on automated scripts to make numerous attempts to log into your WordPress administration page by trying thousands and millions of combinations of usernames and passwords. The brute-force attempts not only slow down your website but also if hackers succeed in their mission may provide hackers complete control of your website and thus harmful for your website.
How To Block Brute Force Attacks?
Firstly start using very strong passwords. A longer, mixed-type password is not easy to be decoded for a brute-force attack to decode. These attacks typically use combinations of dictionary words and numbers.
Another effective defence is to use WP Limit Login Attempts, specifically designed to protect WordPress site from brute force attacks.
A WordPress table consists every bit of information about your website. Thus, it acts as the most favourite target for hackers. Your WordPress website must have a number of tables. In general, these database tables are named with a prefix "wp-" which makes it easy to predict for hackers and plan a attack to get your WordPress hacked.
The smartest way to protect your WordPress website from this type of vulnerabilities is to change the prefix of WordPress tables.
This way you can choose something unpredictable and unique making it harder for hackers to predict.
To know, how to change default prefix for your WordPress tables, you can watch this video. To avoid any kind of loss to your data, we strongly recommend you to keep backups daily.
Other way to secure your WordPress website tables from database vulnerabilities is to use ithemes security plugin which provides security against plugin vulnerabilities, weak password attacks, and obsolete software.
When a user downloads WordPress, there is a default admin account whose password is simply set as 'admin' which is so easy to guess by professional hackers. Thus, a hacker can try to access your account using password.
Never give an edge of predictability of passwords to a hacker. Secondly, why to use an default admin account. You must change your default wordpress username.
Create a new user account and keep a unique name very hard to guess. Authorize the permissions of admin to this user account.
This way, the hacker would have to predict both the username as well as password to access administrator account.
As a WordPress Security Scanner, we observed that out of thousands websites we scan every day, each of those websites have at least one sensitive file visible to anyone on the internet.
An important source of vulnerability lies on the files which have nothing to do with your website and are created just as backups copies.
Sometimes Performing in-place editing or other administrative actions on production web servers may inadvertently leave backup copies, either generated automatically by the editor while editing files, or by the administrator who is zipping a set of files to create a backup.
These files post a serious security threat to the application as are the easiest target for hackers. This may include configuration files, un referenced files, pages, backup files, sensitive log files etc.
Add commands to the Apache .htaccess file to block access to sensitive private files related to WordPress and the Web server itself.
This is a great method to secure your site because it ensures the only people with access to your wp-admin are users with authorised IPs.
If you want to restrict access to your WordPress configuration file, wp-config.php, you need to add the following files to your htaccess file.
Keep a check on every activity performed on WordPress files which are on server.
While editing any file on a production server, make sure not to leave any bookmark behind.
File system snapshots should not be accessible via web. Configure your web server to deny access to such directories.
As the name itself says, the Privilege Escalation Attack is a web attack that involves network intrusion resulting from configuration failure to your operating system or system software, programming errors or designing flaws and grants the hacker an elevated access to application network, data and other information than intended by application developer and it privileges the hacker to perform unauthorised actions. A hacker can get complete control on targeted system through this WordPress vulnerability.
This type of privilege escalation attack involves performing those kernel-level operations which permit the attacker to run unauthorised code. It is also known as privilege elevation for the reason that a low privilege user is granted an access to functions performed by a high privilege user.
Under Horizontal Privilege Escalation, the attacker would require the access to another user's account to enter into application's network.
The first step to prevent your WordPress website from this serious vulnerability is to check the different roles and permissions supported by the application.
You need to keep a check over this time to time.
List every role registered in WordPress.
The vulnerability was fixed in WordPress 4.9.7 version, ( Also See Latest WordPress Versions) released on July 5. In order to successfully exploit this issue, the attacker would need to gain access to edit and delete media files which can be achieved by taking over an Author account or by targeting sites that expose the media functionality through various plugins. Website which did not updated their WordPress versions and were still running on outdated versions with specific media plugins installed, were mostly affected by this exploit.
How to Find Vulnerabilities in My WordPress Website?
Before moving ahead, lets know about how to find a website vulnerability in wordpress site. There are various website vulnerability scanner tools which we can use to scan your site for security vulnerabilities and malware. Mostly these Vulnerability Scanners ensures web application security by securing your website and web applications against hacker attacks. These automated tools scan web applications, normally from the outside, to look for security vulnerabilities such as Cross-site scripting, SQL Injection.
Shhhhh……!!!!! This is something you wont find on any other WordPress security blog. This is a bit of reverse engineering stuff here. You can use such strings and append your website to find any possible loophole which might be present in your website, in case your site turns up in the results, than you might need to worry a little.
Apart from this, you can find many other web vulnerability scanner tools online, but most of them are limited to mobile/web applications and are not specific to WordPress.
We hope you find this article very useful. We are available to help you with different wordpress security issues. If you want a website scan or removal of other malware infections, contact us to better analyze the security of your website.

Our daughter Callista celebrated her 1st Eucharist this April. Three years ago I approached our oldest daughter to see if she would like a First Communion dress created for her from my wedding gown. She did not want any lace and so I waited. This year when our youngest celebrated her sacrament, she embraced the idea of having a dress created out of the dress her mom married her dad in.
The project started with sketches. Once the design was clear the original wedding gown dress needed to be disassembled. The original wedding gown was one I designed and created 19 years ago. A basic dress pattern was found, then a new the designed dress was sloped from the basic pattern. The sleeves were made fuller, darts and ribbon accents were added to the bodice. The skirt was box pleated instead of gathered and lining was added to the skirt so no slip was needed.
The finished dress is more beautiful then I could have imagined. If you attend the Iowa State Fair this year please visit the Fabric and Threads exhibits to see the dress on display.

Ever wondered how to make interesting and engaging paddling videos? Take your first steps towards becoming the next Bombflow producer with this new and exciting course from FlowFree and Root Down.
With the guidance of our expert tutors, you'll film and edit your own mini paddling movie and learn how to export it and publish it online. We'll start by thinking about video styles before going out and filming some white water kayaking action using a mix of GoPros, SLRs and handheld cameras. We'll look at how and when to use tripods, monopods, mounts and booms to get the shots you really want. You'll be encouraged to try a range of filming techniques and tactics.
This video was filmed and edited by Root Down, then shown on the big screen at the party later that day.
Back at base, we'll look at the nitty gritty of video editing: tools for the job and how to use them. You'll be in a relaxed classroom environment where students are encouraged to learn from each other's work, while having a our guru on hand to answer any questions and show you some handy hints and shortcuts. Finally, once you've created a masterpiece, we'll run through the options for exporting it (which format: when and why) and publishing it online or creating a DVD.
Checkout more videos by Root Down.
You'll need to bring along a camera that films in digital format, ideally in HD onto an SD card though that's not essential. Brining your own laptop / computer in order to edit the video would be advantageous as it will allow us to help you to see how things work on your own computer with the software you have available. If you can't bring a computer to work on, let us know.
Duration: 9am-8pm – in order to get the most from the day, we will film in the morning and spend the afternoon and evening looking at different editing, exporting and publishing options.


Brian, thank you for the great and insightful comment. I completely agree with all the problems you raised. However, I do want to encourage people to start using MAB instead of hypothesis testing as I have seen many people making mistakes interpreting basic experimental result from hypothesis testing and those experiments weren't even complex.
Hi, I'd like to translate this post to Chinese too. So I comment to ask for your permission as before (I've translated your "ML Done Wrong" post).
Hi weakish, sure as long as my name and the link to the original post are cited.

For most people around the globe, their rich linguistic surroundings involve more than one language. The majority of the world population is either bilingual or multilingual. This is supported by findings by the European Commission in 2006 which showed that 56 percent of the respondents were able to speak in a different language other than their mother tongue. In America, for instance, a country widely considered to be monolingual, 20 percent of those above the age of five could speak a different language other than English by the year 2007, representing a 130 percent increment from the year 1982 (Goldman, Negen, & Sarnecka, 2014). The spread and adoption of technology over the years has enabled researchers to venture deep into the effects of bilingualism on cognitive development of children.

There is conflicting information regarding the contribution of bilingualism towards the cognitive development in children. Scientists claim that bilingualism may play a role in conferring either specific or general abilities in the performance of certain tasks that require selective attention over another task. Some studies have however found no relationship between bilingualism and the conference of superior cognitive abilities. Other research found that the contribution of bilingualism towards cognitive development can be affected by the socioeconomic status of the participants. Studies from the first half of the past century seem to indicate that bilingualism had negative effects on children as compared to their monolingual counterparts. They found that bilingual children had lower intelligent quotients and performed dismally both in verbal and nonverbal intelligence tests. The majority of those studies concluded that bilingualism is impacted negatively on a childs linguistic, cognitive and educational development (Shook & Marian, 2012). Over the years, however, there has been a radical shift in the perception of the impact of bilingualism on the cognitive development of the child. Successive research has found that bilingualism is an asset to the child, contrary to previously held perceptions that it had a negative impact on their cognitive abilities. Studies conducted midway through the last century came to the conclusion that bilingual children were more socially sensitive and better at rule-discovery tasks.
Such discrepancies in the studies between the two periods can e attributed to the problem of ensuring that the monolinguals and the bilinguals used in the study were comparable in all aspects except on their linguistic capabilities. At the time, such factors as bias might have had an advantage on bilingual children as compared to the monolinguals. Researchers have delved deep into the impact of bilingualism on cognitive development in a bid to ascertain whether there is any relationship between the two.
Researchers have majorly dealt with the relationship between bilingualism and socio-cognitive development majorly because the mastery of two languages can affect how thoughts and words are processed and presented. Studies indicate that bilinguals have an advantage as they can better relate to the conversational needs of their partners. Bilingual children are more sensitive to the fact that they are not able to understand a language that sounds foreign to them as compared to monolingual children. Research findings show that bilingual children usually score higher on cognitive tests as compared to their monolingual counterparts (Shook & Marian, 2012). Such tests include the ability to detect grammatical errors in sentences, an understanding of the conventional origin of names and mental flexibility. This advantage bestowed on the bilinguals can be attributed to their ability to focus their attention on the variables and context at hand, especially information that seems contradictory or ambiguous. An improved cognitive ability of a child enables it to harness their presentational skills which are perceived to be important in the process of effective communication. A child who has mastered the concept that a name could be used to represent more than one object could be beneficial to them as it gives them a different perspective of looking at things. This could help them develop a better understanding of people around them.
Based on research findings, when a bilingual uses one language, the other language will still be active. The process of understanding a language works in such a way that one does not hear an entire word all at once as it is spoken; rather the person will hear it in a sequential order. Even before a word is out of the mouth, the brain engages in the process of guessing what the word might be by activating many other words that match the signal. This process is not limited only to the bilinguals but is a process that happens to all. However, for bilinguals it is different in that it is not limited to just one language-auditory function in the brain activates related words regardless of the language to which they have been accustomed (Kempert & Hardy, 2014).
A very prominent finding on the research on the cognitive impact of bilingualism has been on the attentional control and inhibition ability among children. This can be traced to the need for bilinguals to constantly keep track of their language systems to adapt to the different contexts in which they find themselves. Cognitive abilities are affected both by the frequency of switching from one language to another as well as a proficiency in the mastery of more than one language. The existence of more than one language systems in the case of bilinguals implies that one of these systems has to be suppressed so as to prevent intrusion from the other system. Such a mechanism can be attributed to the ability to effectively handle conflicts as they require a high degree of inhibition or suppression. Also, the constant need for bilinguals to select one language over the other depending on their contexts plays a role in helping the bilingual have a better assessment of a conflict situation.
Studies conducted on 11-year-old children to assess their executive functions in relation to their achievements in English, science and mathematics revealed a high correlation between achievement and inhibition. The researchers reached the conclusion that inhibition is fundamental to academic success in general as opposed to specific learning domains. In another study, children aged four were assessed in the area of working memory in relation to executive functions. The performance of these children was assessed at the end of their first year and third years in elementary schools in terms of their mathematical solving skills and reading skills. The results showed that high inhibition levels at the age of four contributed to a higher score both for mathematical solving skills as well as their reading skills (Goldman, Negen, & Sarnecka, 2014). Several other studies on kindergarten children show the relationship between inhibitory control and the ability to improve mathematical solving skills as well as reading abilities which aid in the development of executive functions.
Some studies, however, strive to prove that there is no relationship between bilingualism and cognitive development. In one study, monolingual and bilingual children were assessed on a numerical discrimination task where children were required not to focus on the area but on the number. The experiment involved 92 children aged between 3-6 years who were asked to determine which of two arrays of dots had more dots than the other. Half of these trials were congruent in that the one with the numerically greater area also had a larger number of dots. The incongruent one had a smaller area as well as the array of dots. The findings from the study showed that children performed better in congruent trials as compared to the incongruent one. There was no variation in the performance of bilingual children in relation to their monolingual counterparts (Ladas, Carroll, & Vivas, 2015). Such studies prove to demonstrate that there is no evidence to support the idea that bilingualism bestows an advantage both on children as well as adults which their monolingual counterparts do not have.
The mastery of language proves an important aspect of human interactions. It enables individuals to communicate better with each other and have a better understanding of ones culture, personality as well as an appreciation of different perspectives held by the human race. Numerous studies have been conducted to show the relationship between bilingualism and cognitive development, especially among children. The results have been conflicting; some are showing that bilingualism bestows an advantage on the cognitive development of children. Some, however, show that bilingualism do not bestow any significant advantage on bilingual children over their monolingual counterparts. Further studies have to be conducted to determine whether bilingualism has any impact on the cognitive development of children.

Q: Getting output from second activity class to first activity which is invokes by the first activity My code has two activities.
public class OnCallingActivity extends Activity implement TextToSpeech.OnInitListener{}

public class TextReceiverActivity extends BroadcastReceiver{}

i want first activity to extend sencond activity
OnCallingActivity extends TextReceiverActivity {}

so I did this,
public class OnCallingActivity extends Activity implements TextToSpeech.OnInitListener {

  private TextReceiverActivity TextReceiverActivityClass;
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.on_calling_layout);

    TextReceiverActivityClass= new TextReceiverActivity();
    speaker= new TextToSpeech(this, this);
    callerIdText=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.callerIdtextview);
    callerText=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.callermsgtextview);
    translatedText=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.translatedTextview);
    speakButton=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btnSpeak);
    sendButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonsend);
    endCallButton=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.buttonendCall);
}

my second activity is as follow,
public class TextReceiverActivity extends BroadcastReceiver{
  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     number ="";
     message="";

     final Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();

     try {
        if(bundle != null) {
            final Object[] pduObjects = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");

            for(int i = 0; i < pduObjects.length; ++i) {

                SmsMessage currentMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pduObjects[i]);

                number = currentMessage.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
                message = currentMessage.getDisplayMessageBody();

                Toast.makeText(context, "SENDER NUMBER: " + number + "; MESSAGE: " + message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
     } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
  }

in first activity i called the method of second activity like this
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    TextReceiverActivityClass.onReceive(context, intent);

}

onReceive gives values for number and message..so how can i get them to my first activity to display them in TextViews.
onReceive is an inbuilt method so i can't change the return type.

A: *

*If TextReceiverActivity extends BroadcastReceiver, then TextReceiverActivity isnt an Activity and I would refrain from calling it an Activity.

*The onReceive method of a BroadcastReceiver is meant to be called from the Android sytem, not you.

*To send a message from an Activity to a BroadcastReceiver you would send a Broadcast. See the docs.

*If you want to send a message from your BroadcastReceiver to your Activity, there's a couple of questions about that.

The world's leading trade fair for light and building services technology is currently drawing international trade professionals to Frankfurt once again – which solutions for intelligent building technology can visitors expect to see from Gira? We found out for you.
by Anna Moldenhauer | 3/21/2018
From the digitized home to the new switch range: Gira is providing a comprehensive view of what is presently possible in terms of electrical installation and building systems technology at the current Light + Building in Frankfurt. Hans-Jörg Müller, Head of Product & Design at Gira, tells Anna Moldenhauer what exactly visitors can expect to witness at the fair and how the long-standing company wants to position itself in the future.
Where does Gira currently stand?
Our goal lies in progressing all of our business segments concurrently. From the traditional segment of mechanics and electronics, to design, to the topic of safety – we aim to interlink all functions to an ever greater extent and ensure a high level of operator convenience. It's a process. One in which we already have our sights set on the Light + Building 2020. Our approach is highly systematic and the Light + Building 2018 is just one stage in our journey. It's a great stage to be at, but we have by no means arrived at the end of our endeavors, and gotten to where we want to be.
Where exactly do you want to be?
Let me cite an example – in early 2000 we developed a door communication system that is now very successful. But it is a proprietary system. It does have gateways to other systems, but it would be better for it to be possible to integrate the door communication into further systems without requiring a gateway. Of course this is not something that can be achieved in two or three years, it's a matter of long-term advances. We also now provide a special Gira Cloud for mobile door communications, which you can access remotely. Someone rings your doorbell and you are able to see the guest via your mobile phone, you can speak to them and if necessary open the door for them or not – from wherever you are.
Mobile door communication with the "Gira TKS mobile".
With a Gira Home Server, the Gira G1 can now also be used as a client.
Can we look forward to any surprises from Gira at the Light + Building?
We actually don't really want surprises. Our goal is to develop all segments in expedient but also moderate ways. We will certainly be showcasing an evolution in the smart home segment that we have continuously refined with the intelligent media center. It can now be employed in areas such as eNet, as it will be radio controlled. It may further be connected to our door communications system, as well as being able to operate our new security system Alarm Connect. Two years ago, Gira G1 was more or less an operating medium for the KNX worlds. Today you can use the device to control all of the worlds we will be showing at the fair.
You say it is a "new operating system" – what exactly is new about it?
We have a "wireless alarm system" in our range. This is a few years old, and was very successful. Now we have developed a new system that provides more components. You can use it to monitor doors and windows; in fact, it includes motion detectors, internal and external cameras. In addition it can be linked to KNX and WLAN and can be operated from inside and outside of the home. The new system can even be controlled using a smartphone. This wasn't possible with the old system, which was purely proprietary and could only be operated at the door itself. This means that now when the alarm goes off, you could theoretically use the new system to control all of the lights. Furthermore, the Gira Project Assistant combines all functions, so you don't need three or four apps. In my opinion, the current app hype will soon subside. I don't think people want to use four or five apps to control their home technology. We aim to systematically combine more and more of these areas, which will be a benefit both for the end consumer and for the installation technician.
The Alarm Connect safety system can be integrated into the KNX installation.
Room temperature control and humidity display with the eNet Smart Home App.
How is Gira presenting itself at the Light + Building 2018?
We have developed an entirely new concept for our booth at the fair, which comprises three levels of information: The first information level is a classical product presentation. We also offer a lecture series for specialists at regular intervals during the fair. That's new and we're trying it out for the first time. Thirdly, we are presenting a smart home world with a range of different examples of use – the display covers almost two hundred square meters. And not only will our sales force colleagues be on location to advise customers at our stands, but so will designers, product managers, technicians. For us, the Light + Building is not just about sales and customers, half of the company is on their feet there. It goes without saying that we are also taking risks with the new concept. But I think a trade fair in particular is a place where you just have to explore new avenues in order to make progress.
Elegant restraint: The System 55 is now also available in "matt black".
Einfarbig oder Schwarz/ Weiß und Weiß/Schwarz: Das Schalterprogramm Gira Studio.
Could you give us a few examples of which new Gira products will be showcased at the fair?
We have incorporated "black matt" as a theme right across System 55. And we are proud to have a new switch range called Gira Studio, which may be either flush or surface-mounted. The sockets for surface mounting can be plugged horizontally or vertically as desired. The cover this creates is somewhat inspired by those famous Bakelite switches of the 1930s. A beautiful exposed installation with round glass frames, but you can now also integrate three hundred functions from System 55 into it, including keys and KNX components, all firmly in line with the smart home concept. Then you've got Gira X1, which in essence is also a further stage in the development. This includes simpler installation, as well as the possibility of remote maintenance. That wasn't possible before. We also incorporated the X1 into the Alexa and Sonos worlds, making it possible to operate these devices by voice control, too. What's more, the Gira X1 can now be linked to our remote access device Gira S1. The latter is the basic module for encrypted data transfer and ensures data security.
The topic of the "Smart Home" is once again receiving a great deal of attention at the Light + Building. So how is Gira positioning itself with a view to the competition?
We see more sense in approaching our development effort strategically rather than presenting many short-lived functions and products by rolling them out as quickly as possible. We want to provide our customers with products that will still work 10 or 15 years from now. That's why quantity and speed can't be our yardstick. I am convinced that products which have been thought through incrementally will eventually come out tops – unlike things that have been cobbled together quickly, and which then prove not to be compatible with other systems. Of course developing products using such a systematic method takes longer. That said, I don't feel we are lagging behind. We don't need to be the very first to adopt every single function out there. Our aspiration is to provide a system that works well as a whole. Installation technicians appreciate our concept, and end customers will ultimately also be convinced by the advantages of our approach I feel.
