Columbus coach starts soccer program to help Liberian children stay in school
Yilun Cheng
Eugene Harmon grew up playing soccer barefoot on the street of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia in West Africa.
As kids, he and his friends did not have fancy gear or a well-manicured soccer pitch. Collecting large rocks as goalposts and creating lines and markings out of sticks, Harmon said the sport taught him not to give up easily.
Years of practice paid off. When he moved to the United States in 2009 to pursue higher education, a soccer coach at Bucks County Community College in eastern Pennsylvania invited him to join the college's soccer program and offered him a scholarship. He ultimately completed his associate degree in computer science in four years.
Now, living on Columbus' East Side and earning his living as an IT specialist, the 33-year-old wants to give back to his community.
Two years ago, he started a soccer program called the Zion Astro Football Academy (zionastro.com) in his home country to remotely mentor about 60 Liberian children ranging in age from 12 to 15. So far, Harmon said he has paid tens of thousands of dollars out of his own pocket to keep the program running.
"The youth in Liberia had no opportunity and no one to direct them to the right path," Harmon said. "Soccer is the most-popular sport in Africa, so I decided to use it as an instrument to get the kids' attention and push them to stay in school."

Harmon was born into a 14-year-long civil war that decimated Liberia's infrastructure and social fabric. His mother did everything to keep him safe, but he saw on the news how children were displaced, assaulted and killed on a daily basis, he said.
Some were even recruited as child soldiers to fight with warring parties, according to a report by Human Rights Watch, a non-governmental organization based in New York.
The war ended in 2003 –– when Harmon was still living there –– but its impact was long-lasting, he said. When he went back to Liberia to visit his family in 2016, he saw how the country's youth continued to suffer from poverty and an unstable living environment.
"The parents would leave home in the morning for work and be away the whole day," Harmon said. "The kids have no direction. They just do whatever they see. Some of them have nothing to eat during the day and would sell drugs to get food before their parents come home."
When he came back to the U.S. from his trip, Harmon said he knew he had to do something.
In 2019, he enlisted the help of five organizers in Liberia to create a nonprofit soccer program in Ganta, a city three hours away from the country's capital. The goal, he said, not only was to give children an opportunity to practice the sport but also to incentivize them to continue their education.
"The policy is: If you're not a student, you can't play soccer in the organization," Harmon said. "These kids love soccer so much that if you tell them they can't practice, it's like you're taking everything away from them, so the program forces them to stay in school."
Besides hosting soccer practices three times a week, the program also requires participants to have a daily reading schedule, attend regular speaker events and engage in community service projects every weekend. While the five staff members in Liberia are in charge of organizing activities on the ground, Harmon talks to the kids via Zoom every Thursday to keep them motivated.

Running the program comes with a major financial commitment. It costs about $1,800 a month to rent the soccer pitch, compensate the local organizers and pay for hospital bills when the kids get injured during practice. Harmon said he has had to cut down his own expenses in Columbus to come up with the money.
A few months ago, Harmon said he spent $24,000 –– almost his entire life savings –– to purchase six acres of land in Ganta, where he hopes to build a school for the children to attend free of charge.
Besides overseeing the program in Liberia, Harmon also leads a soccer team on the East Side of Columbus, coaching about 20 youths. Many belong to immigrant families that came from African counties such as Kenya, Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria. This year, the team is playing in a soccer league for the first time.
Amadou Ba, 55, came from Senegal and now lives on the East Side. His two sons, 6 and 10, have been playing on Harmon's team for more than a year now. He said soccer has been instrumental to his children's personal growth.
"Soccer is teaching them discipline, respect and teamwork," Ba said. "They're learning skills they can use their whole lives, and they love it. As soon as they get home from school, they are ready to go to the soccer field for practice."

The kids in Liberia are hoping to follow Harmon's path and attend an American college on a sports scholarship. But it's a tough process, Harmon said. He has not yet found collegiate coaches in the U.S. who are willing to support the children.
"If they can come to the U.S. on a soccer program, that would be everything for them," Harmon said. "But my primary goal is to give them an education, and it doesn't matter if they are in Liberia or America. I just want them to know that they don't have to be on the street to survive."

RIOTING IN HAITI: THE CURRENT SITUATION
Haiti, Manifestations, riots, unrest, update Caring for Orphans, Family, Haiti, Uncategorized
"Finally, the country has received some calm Monday, but we want to hear the final decisions of the heads of state of the country. The traffic was painful, then every 500 meters the protesters burned tires, totally preventing the way. Fear was everywhere. We rely a lot on the help of your prayers and hope that everything will be better in the coming days." – Abdias, LSM Haitian Staff Member
Abdias' words sum up much of the feelings from our Haitian staff. Over the last 12 days, mass rioting and road blocks across the country have left people with no choice but to stay indoors, unable to work, go to school or buy food. We thank God that today, things seem to be getting back to normal in Les Cayes.
Our staff is back to the office and markets are re-opening. Rioting continues in Port au Prince. Fuel is not able to be transported to Les Cayes, creating a shortage. The calm in Les Cayes is a temporary reprieve since the bigger problems in the country remain unsolved.
Becky Browning and her family have been in Haiti with LSM for the last several weeks and shared this, "While it is quiet in this house, it is not quiet outside. Roadblocks have been set up. Cars and tires are burning all over the country. Businesses, banks, gas stations and schools are closed. We've heard gun shots and yelling. Haiti is in crisis. The people are hurting and want answers from their government. We are praying for sustaining peace and a resolution for this country that is so dear to our hearts."
WHAT HAVE THE RIOTS BEEN ABOUT?
"A riot is the language of the unheard." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
As is often the case in societies where people feel unheard and have few options for reform, Haiti has a long history of manifestations, or protesting, like the kind we've seen recently. There are few other viable ways for Haitians to voice their frustration with the government.
Over the last couple of years, Haitians have been navigating cost of living increases by as much as 50%. This increase puts a strain on many already living in desperate poverty. It has a downstream effect on our Homes of Hope and ministry costs in country, as well as the personal lives of our Haitian staff and their families.
The recent riots over the last several days are protesting this and how the government is handling the situation, particularly President Moise who came to power after a failed electoral process and shaky election, is handling the situation. Read more here: Haiti On Edge from IPA Institute for Public Accuracy
Protests have been off and on since July but escalated to another level on February 7. You can read more about this from a post we shared in July 2018.
AN UPDATE ON OUR STAFF AND FAMILIES
Our Home of Hope families have been safe with plenty of supplies at their homes. Our staff returned to the office today, and it seems like things are calming down in Les Cayes. We are grateful that everyone has been well, although scared for the past several days.
HOW YOU CAN PRAY
Please keep praying for safety and peace for our Home of Hope families and staff.
Pray that the country can find resolutions to the rising food and cost of living expenses.
Pray for the many people suffering during these riots.
Pray that believers in Haiti would reach out with the love of Jesus to their neighbors and be beacons of hope in the darkness.
Unrest in Haiti
Prayer, riots, unrest Haiti, LSM, News
On Friday, the Haitian government announced a steep increase in fuel prices (38% increase in gasoline, 47% for diesel and 51% for kerosene) that resulted in violent protests across the country.
In recent months, the cost of living in Haiti has increased dramatically, causing rising discontent and anger at the difficulties of daily life. Fuel increases became a tipping point in already rising frustrations.
While President Moise has now put a temporary hold on this fuel increase in an effort to appease the protesters, the situation remains tense.
It's been a scary weekend for many in Haiti amidst burning cars, roadblocks and looting. LSM's staff and families are safe, but everyone remains on high alert.
Please pray for:
The continued safety of our staff and Home of Hope families
Vigilant caution from our staff as they maintain operations
Peace in the country and economic solutions for the poor who struggle every day just to survive
For the vulnerable children (orphans, child slaves and at-risk children) who are often the first to suffer the downstream effects of the unrest

Hmm, not quite. The AWD (which implies LR) and the Performance (which implies LR and AWD) have the same motor types.
You're thinking of the RWD LR model. It shares its rear motor with the AWD variants. The front motor is unique... which it doesn't have since it's RWD.
According to CEO Elon Musk, the Model 3 Performance version features the same motors (AC in the front and permanent magnet in the rear) as the dual version, but they are picking the highest rated ones with double the burn-in process to make sure they can handle a higher output.
It's more like CPU pricing.. they're the same parts off the same assembly line, but only the ones that perform well enough during testing get turned into high end chips.
juanmedina, which trim do you have? you can PM me if you don't want to muck up the thread anymore, just wondering about some details from someone living with it daily.

Mann up! High Court holds innocent party to a repudiated contract and bins alternative quantum meruit claims
Posted on October 10, 2019 by Paul Duggan
For at least 115 years it has been the law in Australia that where a contract is repudiated the innocent party can recover damages either in accordance with that contract or upon a quantum meruit. Predictably, such claimants have always asked for whichever was the higher of the two available measures and this has sometimes involved shrugging off the contract price as irrelevant.
That all changed yesterday when the High Court delivered its decision in Peter Mann v Paterson Constructions [2019] HCA 32.
The seven judges delivered three judgments spanning 99 pages. In a nutshell, they agreed that the contractual measure of damages should be the ceiling on damages and that the former long-standing position is, in the words of Keifel CJ, Bell and Keane JJ, based on "fallacious reasoning … which may give rise to serious mischief".
In Peter Mann v Paterson Constructions, property owners contracted with a builder for the construction of two townhouses in Blackburn, Victoria. The contract price for the development was $971,000. The work was largely completed and $946,000 of the contract price had been paid before the relationship ended in acrimony with each party accusing the other of repudiation and purporting to accept such repudiation.
Their dispute then went to VCAT where Senior Member Walker held that the owners had wrongfully repudiated the contract, the builder had accepted that repudiation, the contract was at an end, and that the builder as the innocent party was entitled to recover damages calculated by reference to the market value of the building work and labour delivered to the owners. He assessed that value at $1.6 m.
After allowance for the $946,000 already paid, he held that the builder was entitled to damages from the owners of $660,000. Hence the bottom line financially at VCAT was that the owners were liable to the builder for about 165 per cent of the original contract price because of their repudiation of that contract.
The owners appealed unsuccessfully to a single judge of the Supreme Court and then to the Court of Appeal before winning seven judges to nil in the High Court.
Following yesterday's decision, where a building contract in Australia (or other contract for work and labour done) is terminated for repudiation or breach, damages for breach of that contract will generally be the sole remedy.
What now? The High Court has remitted Mann back to VCAT for its recomputation of the builder's damages. More than three years after he first heard the matter, that recalculation might be done by Senior Member Walker as the owners' submission to the High Court that he should not hear the remitter was rejected.
The wash-up? Three thoughts occur to me.
First, the High Court's decision will be big news for building and construction lawyers, as it overturns a century of established law. But it won't be a big surprise to those who remember Sopov v Kane [2009] VSCA 141 in which Victoria's Court of Appeal unanimously expressed sympathy for the owners' predicament in a similar case but nevertheless found for the builder on the basis that treating repudiated contracts as a ceiling on quantum meruit claims was "a step which the High Court alone can take".
Second, until yesterday builders and others stuck in unprofitable contracts had a powerful financial incentive to terminate for breach by their counterparty in the expectation that they would be able to reprice their work retrospectively with a quantum meruit claim in the subsequent litigation. That financial escape route has just been soundly shut by the High Court.
Third, the decision is also bad news for quantity surveyors. Demand for their expert evidence as to the 'as built' value of construction works is likely to take a hit.

Jock Serong's mission to salvage a sunken treasure


Earlier this week, I gave a talk at the University of Warwick, where I studied for my bachelors degree. I spoke to an audience ranging from freshers to post-grads on building a career in international development. Instead of presenting from a particular end point or a particular organisation, I gave four pieces of advice and described how I had put these into practice.
"Plans are useless but planning is indispensable" – Dwight D. Eisenhower.
I promised I would share some resources online, so the students didn't have to worry about writing down references. My 2013 post on breaking into international development is due an update, but for now here are some of the resources I've found the most useful in the past few years. I expect to update this list as I discover (and remember) more.
The start-up of you: As the title suggests, this book argues that you should treat your own career as a start-up. That means building networks, learning continuously and adapting as you go along. They call this 'permanent beta', but you don't have to buy into the tech-language to get something out of the book.
How Change Happens: Duncan Green gives a realistic account of how power and systems shape change, and what an activist can do to influence this. I recommended this as a great introduction for avenues of change-making. And the PDF is free on the website! You can also read my review.
Strengthsfinder: This recently came back into my life as the organisation I've just started working for asked for my results (woo, communication, individualisation, ideation and input if you're interested). The methodology is simple: you take an online test with lots of questions and it tells you your top five 'strengths'. This is made much more useful as it also tells you how to make the most of these. Giving the talk was actually me taking an opportunity to work on communication and woo.
How to Find Fulfilling Work: Roman Krznaric gives a framework for thinking about your career. Exercises to reflect on your own experiences are interlaced with wisdom from many sources. It's only a short read, but packed with goodies.
50 ways to get a job that makes good: Does what it says on the tin. This website is especially useful if you don't know where to start and want to take action. It has sections – from Starting, to Finding my Purpose, and Applying to Jobs, and has a handful of 'missions' for each of these. Some of them (e.g. Describe your Dream Job) are fairly standard. Others (E.g. Win over someone who cast you aside) are less conventional.
This Needs Brave: Alanna Shaikh offers international development career advice with a big heart. In her own words: "I love coaching people. I love helping them find their own answers. I think that we all need to be very brave in this damaged world, and I want to help people be as brave as they need to be." Browse the blog posts and consider signing up for a coaching session.
80,000 hours: If you want something more evidence-backed about which path will allow you to do the most good, 80,000 hours is the place to go. Part of the effective altruism movement, the organisation offers free advice on how to maximise your impact, perhaps throwing up some options you hadn't thought about.
London International Development Network: I started this network on Facebook in an attempt to get people who work in development, or aspire to, to talk to one another across organisations and sectors. Events are in the pipeline.
Newsletters and Links Round-Ups to subscribe to: If you don't know where to start with learning about development issues, this could be useful to you. I share the newsletters I get by email as well as some of the best round-ups within the development blogosphere.
Do let me know in the comments or on Twitter if there are any awesome resources that I've missed. And good luck!

Juno Awards bring positivity and resilience to Vancouver stage
Published Monday, March 26, 2018 9:59AM EDT
VANCOUVER -- It was a night of positivity and resilience at the Juno Awards as the stars of Canadian music focused on celebrating the upsides of life.
Host Michael Buble set the tone early on Sunday night by announcing his wife's third pregnancy -- but other performers were quick to grab the tide of optimism during their own stage moments.
"I just hope that we can all rise above negativity in our lives and just do what we believe in," said Arcade Fire's Win Butler as he accepted the band's album award for "Everything Now."
"Speak your truth and don't be afraid to just do whatever the hell you want."
Gord Downie's brothers Mike and Patrick echoed an unbounded sense of resolve as they accepted a posthumous award for the singer, who died last October of brain cancer.
"If we've learned anything from Gord it was the value of taking care of each other," said Patrick.
"This is Gord's award. It's artist of the year, but he was our man of a lifetime. I'd like to believe we're all better artists and people because of him. We love you Gord and we're all taking good care of each other."
An acoustic tribute to Downie was led by Sarah Harmer and Dallas Green, alongside Barenaked Ladies keyboardist Kevin Hearn, who performed "Bobcaygeon" as archival clips of the Tragically Hip frontman played behind them.
It was Buble whose seemingly effortless charm kept the show on an upbeat track.
Without fully addressing why he stepped aside from his Juno hosting duties last year, he acknowledged this was a comeback of sorts. He pulled out of the 2017 Junos after his son was diagnosed with cancer.
Buble told the audience that after being "gone for a while" he wondered if he might have lost "whatever it is" that built his name.
"But honestly after standing here for 40 seconds, I realize that I'm even better than I was before," he added.
Buble later joined Diana Krall for a charming duet of the Nat King Cole classic "L-O-V-E."
Daniel Caesar grabbed R&B/soul recording for his album "Freudian" while Jessie Reyez scored breakthrough artist. She offered an emotional acceptance speech reflecting on her sudden rise to fame.
"It means so much to get this love out at home," she said.
Both performers reappeared later to duet on Reyez's song "Figures."
There were a number of pseudo surprises throughout the show.
The rappers behind the Canadian hit "Northern Touch" took it upon themselves to improvise a version of the song they were once denied performing on the Junos telecast 20 years ago.
The Northern Touch All-Stars announced Tory Lanez as the winner of this year's rap award, but when he wasn't around to accept it, rapper Kardinal Offishall jumped in to ask the audience a question.
"Don't you all wish we had some more hip hop in here tonight?" he said.
"I know this is going to mess up the Junos a little bit -- but I don't care. Do you want to do 'Northern Touch' right now?
The group -- which also includes rappers Red1, Misfit, Checkmate, Thrust and Choclair -- then launched into a full version of "Northern Touch," which appeared on the Rascalz 1998 album "Cash Crop."
Junos president Allan Reid acknowledged the moment was partly staged. He said the Junos organizers approached the rap group earlier in the afternoon with the idea.
One of the night's other big surprises wouldn't have shocked gossip magazine readers.
Recent tabloid speculation that Buble's wife is pregnant became an official announcement on the show as the singer revealed actress Luisana Lopilato is expecting their third child.
He told the audience it was the second time her pregnancy has been linked to the Junos. Five years ago when he hosted in Regina, she was expecting their first child.
"Oops you did it again!" Buble said as the audience cheered the revelation.
Grimes and Buffy St. Marie introduced pop artist Lights with an impassioned speech for gender equality led by the Indigenous folk singer.
"It's time for change, it's time for women to be recognized for our accomplishments and our value to this industry," St. Marie said with powerful delivery.
"We need to build a foundation upon which we can support an environment that actually encourages success for women... because it's not here yet."
Barenaked Ladies and former bandmate Steven Page were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
After singing a brief tune as they accepted their award, the band closed the broadcast by launching into some of their old hits, starting with "One Week." It was the first time they'd performed with Page since he went solo nearly a decade ago.
The group wasn't alone on stage for long, as it evolved into an all-star tribute, with guests who spanned the music genres and fit comfortably with the band's offbeat sense of humour.
Jann Arden, Jim Cuddy and Nunavut band The Jerry Cans danced alongside members of the Northern Touch All-Stars as they all performed a sing-along to "If I Had $1,000,000," which finished with balloons and fake million-dollar bills falling from the rafters.
Page then pulled from one of the song's most famous lines about Kraft Dinner to pose a question that's lingered for years:
"Come on, 30 years now, Kraft. Isn't it time for a sponsorship?

Q: Setting time with clock_settime without having root access I have written a C program that syncs the time with the time from a GPS reciever. The computer is running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. The program uses clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &timespec) to set the time. The program is executed in a bash script, and I cannot use sudo as the script is launched by the use of a desktop file. Anyone has an idea ?
NB: The script is executing multiple programs, that I do not want to execute as root

A: Capabilities can be a solution.
Before running program, you can add a CAP_SYS_TIME capbilities to your program like the next.
sudo setcap CAP_SYS_TIME+ep  /path/to/program

Jade Yasmeen Debuts First-Ever Hyperrealistic Painting of Harriet Tubman At Aku World Exhibit
by Alexa Imani Spencer December 7, 2021 December 7, 2021 6880

Jade Yasmeen, a painter based in Los Angeles, debuted the first-ever hyperrealistic portrait of Harriet Tubman at the Aku World exhibit during Art Basel in Miami.
In a post on Instagram, Yasmeen shared a photo of her standing next to the 74×60 colored painting and why she chose to honor Tubman.
"I chose Harriet as a way to commemorate the past," she wrote. "Our ancestry is so rich and deserves to be preserved. That's my goal as an artist. To continue the legacy of those that came before myself and others. This is a moment in time I'll never forget."
The portrait of Tubman, entitled "The Pain Below," was accompanied by another piece by Yasmeen—a painting of Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel to space.
A post shared by @jadeyasm
Yasmeen shared a photo of herself next to the large painting on Instagram, along with a message about the trailblazer.
"Let's not forget about Mae..," she shared. "I've always looked up to Mae Jemison as a little girl because I recognized that she pushed the status quo. The first African-American woman in space! on the first multicultural crew as well. These icons deserve their flowers. Without them we wouldn't know how limitless we are. Under an extreme time crunch I was able to include her into this show as well. And rightfully so."
Yasmeen's talent started at a young age, watching her parents paint and draw at their home in Tampa, Florida, Dutchess International Magazine reported.
"I first discovered my creativity when I was about 5 yrs of age— I was the queen of making 'messes' on the walls of our house growing up. Drew on all the mail and my older siblings' homework," Yasmeen recalled. "My family couldn't even stay mad at me because the doodles were pretty fire!"
In 2015, Yasmeen took a leap of faith and decided to pursue her artistry professionally. At the time, she was two years into earning a college degree in Elementary Education.
"We have the power to make anything a reality," she said. "Anyone who hones in on their innate ability to dream for something beyond their reach is capable of achieving it. It's possible if we just muster the courage to create it."

Do you know how dangerous is your chosen career? May be you have never checked that before. Workplace injuries can happen in any office, sometimes highly innocuously, but there is statistical evidence to show that the likelihood of injury or even death in some jobs is more probable than in others. Even if a company implements every health and safety policy in the world, it is still the employees' responsibility to adhere to these, and even those who do can be the victims of circumstance.
Canadian safety services company Mission Safety Services created an infographic which outlines the 10 most dangerous jobs in the world according to the rate of fatalities per 100,000 workers. Among the jobs featured on the list are construction workers, who operate dangerous power tools; farmers working with animals and heavy machinery; roofers, who work from heights; and fishers, who take to the open water on a daily basis.
Tales of people who lose their lives in the line of work are tragically all too common, so it is vital to always exercise safety in the workplace, no matter how low-risk your working environment may seem. If your job is featured in the infographic, the probability of encountering danger is bigger than most others, so be sure to take extra care the next time you go to work.
Next time you are advising your friend, family or mentee about career, it may be helpful to include some information about the world most dangerous jobs. Career success cannot be achieve without any safety and precautions.
Devin Jollimore is a Training Co-ordinator for Mission Safety Services (www.missionsafety.com), a Canadian-based company which offers a high level of industry safety services and safety training. He is dedicated to teaching others about safe practices in the workplace and encouraging all workers to adhere to these practices.

The Coming Demographic Transition: Will We Treat Future Generations Fairly?
In coming decades, many forces will shape our economy and our society, but in all likelihood no single factor will have as pervasive an effect as the aging of our population.
This coming demographic transition is the result both of the reduction in fertility that followed the post-World War II baby boom and of ongoing increases in life expectancy. Although demographers expect U.S. fertility rates to remain close to current levels for the foreseeable future, life expectancy is projected to continue rising. As a consequence, the anticipated increase in the share of the population aged sixty-five or older is not simply the result of the retirement of the baby boomers; the "pig in a python" image often used to describe the effects of that generation on U.S. demographics is misleading. Instead, over the next few decades the U.S. population is expected to become progressively older and remain so, even as the baby-boom generation passes from the scene. As you may know, population aging is also occurring in many other countries. Indeed, many of these countries are further along than the United States in this process and have already begun to experience more fully some of its social and economic implications.
Could microeconomics help us out?
Well, I think this certainly is news. And it fits in with the findings of ongoing research from Italian economist Francesco Daveri. See especially working paper 309: "Age, technology and labour costs", which examines the case of Finland and especially Nokia (available on this page, abstract pasted at the bottom of this post).
Ericsson, the telecoms equipment maker, on Monday offered a voluntary redundancy package to up to 1,000 of its Sweden-based employees between the ages of 35 and 50. The unprecedented move is designed to make way for younger workers.
So, you think you can fix the demographic crisis, right?
The spirit of procastination having taken possession of me, and with Google at my fingertips, I decided to abuse numbers in a most outrageous way. What follows is, at best, statistical fiction (one day I want to help write the U.S. budget, which is the Da Vinci Code of statistics: everybody knows it's fiction, from the writers to the critics, except the clueless millions who don't).
"Progress in biological knowledge has been very rapid in the past century, so it wouldn't be surprising if, well before 2050, the aging problem was solved."
Here there are two issues: that improvements in biological knowledge can lead to longer, more productive lives, and that ageing is a problem, and indeed a problem that has a solution. This post will adress the latter issue.
Ageing in the EU25: a short introduction.
For those who are interested in the current situation on ageing in the EU region. This recent EC paper "The economic impact of ageing populations in the EU25 Member States", gives a good and concise overview. The first part is a summary of what we know about the impact of ageing on the labour supply, input, capital intensity, TFP and indirect budgetary effects.
More than half the jobs created in the past year were filled by people above the state pension age, according to official statistics.
The rise in the number of working older people reflected increasing financial pressures created by pensions shortfalls and a growing willingness of employers to take on older staff, employers' organisations said.
There are hundreds of stores in the Fiumara Mall - Sephora, Elan, Lavazza Café. But in a nation long known for its hordes of children, there is not one toy store in the sprawling mix, and a shiny merry-go-round stands dormant.
I just found this article from the Prague Daily Monitor via a link on an interesting looking website called Age Times. It is pretty wooly, but the fact that the Czech pension system is already going into deficit does start ringing alarm bells. The problem obviously can only get worse if they don't have a substantial reform, but to have anything more to say I think I will need to look into this a bit further.
Thank you for your interesting post!

Last week, three members of the Federal Communications Commission joined four of their state commission colleagues for a Federal-State Joint Conference on Advanced Services. The conference marked the first of six field hearings scheduled by the Joint Conference to assess the status of deployment of advanced telecommunications services. This week's hearing, in Washington, D.C., focused on the status of broadband deployment in the inner cities, and on identifying examples of "best practices" of successful deployment.
Not surprisingly, there was plenty of talk about the benefits of bringing broadband to all Americans, about the need for public-private partnerships, and about the role that regulators should play in promoting rapid and widespread deployment to advanced services.
But there is one aspect of advanced telecommunications deployment that wasn't on the agenda for the field hearings. In addition to looking at what was accomplished, regulators should be looking at what has not been accomplished, and why.
NetAction believes the field hearings should be expanded to include an examination of the role the regional Bell Operating Companies have played in the deployment of these new services. We are convinced that advanced telecommunications services would have been fully deployed by now had the Bells lived up to the promises they made in the past to state and federal regulators, and to consumers, in exchange for reduced regulatory oversight.
If the goal of policy makers is to promote rapid and widespread deployment of advances services at affordable prices, it is crucial that they recognize, understand, and address the Bells' history of broken promises. The Bells are lobbying Congress to amend the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to allow them into the long distance data market without first opening their own markets to competition in accordance with the conditions imposed in the 1996 Act - most notably the fourteen-point competition checklist required under Section 271 of the Act. Letting the local monopolies into any new markets now would only lead to more broken promises.
In recent months, NetAction has been studying several years' worth of Bell financial data that was compiled by the New Networks Institute (NNI), a New York-based research organization. NNI's Bruce Kushnick has spent the past several years independently analyzing the impact of the break-up of AT&T and the creation of the RBOCs on the deployment of new and advanced telecommunications networks, as well as on telephone subscribers in general. Late last year, NNI filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission requesting an investigation into the Bells' failures to deploy advanced networks.
The petition, which was subtitled, "How the Bells Stole America's Digital Future," documents in detail how the Bells used the promises of advanced network deployment to convince regulators to replace "rate-of-return" regulation, which protected consumers from excess profits, with alternative regulatory frameworks that allowed the Bells much higher profits. In exchange, the Bells agreed to deploy advanced services and promised that by the year 2000 almost half of America would be wired with fiber-optic networks capable of delivering up to 800 channels of digital services, at lightning-fast speeds.
Well, it is now the year 2000, and not a single Bell company has deployed an advanced network as promised. Moreover, NNI estimates that telephone customers have paid over $50 billion dollars in excess charges for advanced services that were never deployed.
Bell Atlantic, in its 1993 Annual Report, announced it would be spending $11 billion over the next five years to build an advanced network capable of serving 8.75 million homes by the end of the year 2000.
Pacific Bell, in its 1993 Annual Report, announced it would be spending $16 billion over the next seven years for an advanced network that would provide broadband service to 5 million homes by the end of the decade.
Ameritech, in its 1994 Investor Fact Book, boasted that it was building a video network that would extend to 6 million customers within six years.
These companies didn't even come close to fulfilling their promises: By the end of 1999, the number of digital subscriber lines (DSL) in the US and Canada combined was only about 600,000, according to a recent report from the consulting firm TeleChoice.
NetAction agrees with the goal of the Joint Conference to encourage the deployment of advanced telecommunications services to all Americans in accordance with the provisions of Section 706 of the 1996 Act. But gathering data on the status of deployment isn't as important to America's digital future as understanding why advanced services haven't already been deployed, and holding the Bells accountable for their past promises.
Moreover, we believe that the most relevant example of "best practices" of successful deployment of advanced services is the competitive market. In stark contrast to the typical Bell practice of using ratepayer money to finance their investments, competitive telecommunications companies have invested billions of shareholders' dollars in cable networks in order to offer broadband Internet service and competitive local phone service. The result is that there are now about 2 million cable modem customers in the US and Canada, according to a report by the research firm Kinetic Strategies.
And private sector investments in cable networks have not only expanded the availability of advanced services in many communities, they've put competitive pressure on the Bells to speed up the introduction of digital subscriber line services.
Regulators should keep this in mind as the Joint Conference field hearings continue. For when all is said and done, the most important thing that policy makers can do right now to ensure rapid and widespread deployment of advanced services is to refrain from imposing any rules, regulations, or conditions that might discourage private sector investment in broadband deployment, or give the Bells a further competitive advantage.
at NetAction if you can help.
Last summer, in our very first issue of Broadband Briefings, we noted that the debate over "open access" to high-speed cable Internet service was -- and still is -- premised largely on the assumption that consumers are going to favor cable broadband over competing technologies like digital subscriber line (DSL) and wireless.
At the time, we weren't convinced that cable broadband would be the consumers' top choice for high-speed Internet access. We identified both practical and technical reasons why cable broadband might not wind up being the preferred technology, and concluded that if cable isn't the preferred technology, the "open access" debate would prove to be largely irrelevant.
There is increasing evidence that our predictions were on target.
For example, InternetNews.com reported earlier this month that a new survey found consumers were more likely to choose DSL than cable broadband. (See: http://www.internetnews.com/isp-news/print/0,1089,8_314801,00.html. The Parks Associates study reported that of 6,000 consumers who planned to switch to broadband service, 34 percent wanted DSL, compared to 25 percent who wanted cable broadband. Moreoever, a higher percentage of cable modem customers said they would switch services if they could get the same speed for $10 less per month.
News reports also indicate that price competition is emerging. In addition to reduced monthly charges, there are companies planning to offer free broadband access to consumers willing to accept advertising content.
These developments just underscore our point that regulated access isn't necessary at this time.
In their continuing quest for entry into long distance markets, local phone monopolies are making increasingly outrageous claims. Given the Bells' history of broken promises that NNI has uncovered, regulators and lawmakers ought to be skeptical. This is particularly true of claims that local monopolies are uniquely capable of bringing broadband services to rural communities.
An excellent report on broadband deployment in rural communities was prepared last fall by Economics and Technology, Inc. The authors, Lee L. Selwyn, Scott C. Lundquist and Scott A. Coleman, report that a variety of technologies are being deployed in rural areas by companies interested in serving those markets. The report is available at http://www.econtech.com/brbnd9_99.pdf.

How Russell Westbrook Got A Wide Open Layup On The Last Play Of The Game To Beat The Wizards
William Scott Davis
The Oklahoma City Thunder overcame a double-digit deficit in the second half to beat the Washington Wizards 105-103 Wednesday night.
The Thunder's two stars, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, combined for 66 points, including the game-winning layup from Westbrook in overtime.
As exciting as the finish was, it was more of a lapse from the Wizards' defence than an incredible move by Westbrook to get open for such an easy shot. He basically went 40 feet uncontested for an open layup in two seconds:
At the start of the play, the Thunder run a pretty basic action to get Durant open. Thunder big man Steven Adams sets a pin-down screen on Paul Pierce to try and get Durant open space at the top of the key. Dion Waiters sits in the corner, ignored, and Westbrook is running to half-court, basically as a bail-out option if Durant doesn't get open.
The Wizards used a simple defensive scheme to guard Durant — Wizards' big man, Nene, switched onto Durant as he got open, leaving Pierce to stick with Adams. Meanwhile, Westbrook is beyond half-court, basically a non-threat to do anything with 3.6 seconds left.
This is part of the problem with the Thunder's late-game execution: they're going to get the ball into Durant (primarily) or Westbrook's hands and let them create. It makes sense, given both players' offensive talent, but defenses know it's coming.
The Thunder, in dire circumstances, probably could've hit Adams rolling to the basket while Pierce recovers, or swung it to Waiters in the corner, who John Wall was barely paying attention to.
In this particular case, the defence was clearly keyed in on Durant, who had scored seven points in OT. Bradley Beal, who was guarding Westbrook — who, again, was basically a second option if Durant couldn't get open — relaxed for just a second. Westbrook took advantage, and made a cut to the basket, and got the ball with the Wizards' defence entirely unprepared for him.
Westbrook now has a head full of steam going to the basket. Beal is a non-factor. Wall has to be wary of collapsing on Westbrook and leaving Waiters wide open for a corner 3. Pierce is rotating on Adams to stop an even more open layup (though he should have made stopping the ball a priority). Nene is a slow big man who can't keep up with Westbrook.
Westbrook got right to the hoop, uncontested.
The Thunder have been heavily criticised for the simplicity of their late-game play-calling, but this play shows the power of having two superstars. Defenses have to be wary of two great scorers, and ultimately, the Wizards keyed in on Durant, fell asleep on Westbrook, and gave the Thunder likely their easiest game-winner of the season.

Sutton Mallet Church in the village of Sutton Mallet, which is within the parish of Stawell, Somerset, England, was built in 1827 incorporating elements of a 15th-century church on the site. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

The village is on Sedgemoor on the Somerset Levels, at the foot of the Polden Hills. The old church which dated from the mediaeval period provided a landmark for anyone crossing the moor. Deterioration of the fabric of the church had  was reported in the 16th and 17th centuries and services were only held infrequently in the 18th and 19th.

The current church was built between 1827 and 1829 by Richard Carver of Taunton adjoining the old tower. Although the rebuilding was in a Georgian style remnants from the earlier church were reused including a mediaeval window which was incorporated into the small apse, and the 17th-century altar rails were reused.

The Gothic tower includes two 17th-century bells, one from 1607 by R. Purdue and another of 1657 by Robert Austen. When the church was rebuilt the tower was not adequately fixed to the rest of the church, meaning that, by 2008,  long diagonal stainless steel ties needed to be inserted to prevent further deterioration.

The church is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.  It was vested in the Trust on 1 November 1987.

Center for Social Sciences awards fall '21 grants
International NewsUniversity News
By India Education Diary Bureau Admin On Nov 20, 2021
The Cornell Center for Social Sciences grant program, which supports social science research by Cornell faculty members and conferences that directly benefit Cornell faculty and students, has awarded $142,636 for 15 proposals for fall 2021.
The center awarded four types of grants: CCSS research grants, CCSS super-department grants and School of Public Policy grants, CCSS-Roper Center grants, and CCSS conference grants.
All PI-eligible Cornell faculty in the social sciences are eligible to apply for these awards. Those who are not already an affiliate of the CCSS will be required to affiliate when they apply.
A primary goal is to fund research projects likely to lead to external funding. The center is particularly interested in jump-starting research by junior faculty. It also supports research by faculty teams spanning social science disciplines or units and interdisciplinary projects led or co-led by social scientists. The maximum award is $12,000.
CCSS Special Topic for Fall 2021: Super-department and School of Public Policy Collaboration Grants
Building on the Provost's Review of the Social Sciences, the CCSS is offering support to researchers working in economics, psychology, public policy, or sociology. These special collaborative grants will support the catalyzation of innovative research, a central motivation in the creation of the super-departments and Cornell School of Public Policy. Each proposal should be made up of at least two researchers, at least one from each of two of the previous social sciences spaces (e.g., one from psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences and one from Human Development in the College of Human Ecology), and new collaborations are highly encouraged. Potential promise for future external funding will be considered as part of the review. Maximum award of $30,000 for each proposal.
CCSS Conference/Workshop Grants
Interdisciplinary conferences/workshops that are eligible for funding are those that are held at Cornell, open to all Cornell faculty members, and openly publicized. Awards for conferences rarely exceed $5,000. We do not support conferences organized by non-Cornell affiliated entities.

The effect of causal mechanistic explanations on perceptions of research findings
Does including a causal explanation when presenting scientific findings paradoxically undermine the perception of the work's importance? We examine the extent to which presenting research with (vs. without) mechanisms affects whether the work is evaluated as novel, replicable, and worthy of funding received.

Land Technologies: Interrogating Tools of Governance in the Colonial Present
A growing number of critical social scientists argue that climate change, growing inequality, and right-wing populism are related crises produced by capitalism's inherent contradictions. Yet development institutions and state agencies continue to promote technical and bureaucratic solutions that feed capital accumulation and environmental injustice. This workshop revisits one of critical geography's central concerns – the politics of land – in this context, linking foundational work on capital accumulation and social difference with studies of new biological, cartographic, financial, legal, and digital tools that are reshaping land politics.
Rene Kizilcec, Information Science

Relationships change as a family grows. This change can be a healthy positive thing but can be scary to navigate as well. Here are some of our tips for how to support each other through the changes.
Be patient with yourself and your partner. This is a wonderful and very challenging time. There is a lot of stress, a learning curve, lack of sleep, and a baby does need a lot of attention. Add to that the hormonal changes a woman experiences after giving birth! Things will get easier, and children have the potential to make a couple stronger!
Leave past problems where they belong. Ask for what you need/want.
New fathers often want space to do things their own way. Different ways of interacting with baby actually helps baby's brain, and gives you more skills to draw from. Babies unquestionably benefit from having one-on-one time with each parent. Choose what baby chores you are both responsible for, your "domain"- it is best if the other does not oversee, comment or criticize.
Many new mothers want to feel they are in a partnership; they are in this together. They want partners to help without having to be asked. Mothers also really want someone to listen to them, without trying to fix things.
New moms sometimes need reminding that getting enough rest, taking baby care breaks, and exercise all help her self-confidence and decreases her stress levels. This may allow her to feel like herself again; taking care of herself she really can better take care of others. Dads can help by sharing the parenting responsibilities and perhaps hiring out some of the housework, grocery shop and prepare healthy meals, do little things to show appreciation and love (a love letter/hidden notes, flowers, an unexpected present), and encourage Mom to take care of herself.
Focus on positives and show appreciation. New moms really need praise and notice. If dad is not home during the day, he may not understand just how time-consuming breastfeeding can be, or that a baby needs attention every 20 seconds! They may think it looks relaxing to sit on the couch all day, without realizing how lonely and intellectually numbing it can be. Partners also need to be noticed and appreciated for going to work; they sometimes feel like they are on the outside.
Make time for each other- connect on a personal level. Don't talk just about baby. You are taking care of your baby by taking care of your marriage.
Develop a support network. This is the time to receive help not give it. Find other new mom friends, there are several options for organized parenting groups and mom/baby classes around town. Reach out to us if you need referrals. Hire a postpartum doula if you need the extra support.
If problems arise on your side of the family, you may be the best one to talk to them.

At this stage of the season a team is usually pulling clear of the pack, but things have changed this season and it appears anyone team can be beaten by the other this year.
Although things were a little skewed with regards to games played Nottingham Panthers led the eleven teams in October by one point after a strong start. They were closely followed by Fife Flyers who impressed last term and a strong run this time out saw them in second place.
Perhaps the most surprising thing at this stage was that one of the arena teams, namely Sheffield Steelers were languishing in tenth place having just eight points from fourteen games.
By the end of November an almost unstoppable run saw Belfast Giants top the league by a clear four points from Fife Flyers. Nottingham Panthers had dropped to third closely followed by Cardiff Devils who appeared to be the team to beat, along with Belfast at this stage.
However, the run of Belfast Giants was to come to a sudden end when they met a resurgent Sheffield Steelers side at the beginning of December.
Belfast Giants held onto their impressive lead and top the table at the moment but they have been hauled back to just one point by a strong Cardiff Devils side, who looked to be early pacesetters but hit a bump in the road in their early quest for the title.
Milton Keynes Lightning prop the league up, as they have all season and at the moment are eight points off a play off place. They are accompanied by Manchester Storm who are only five points better off.
The Sheffield Steelers have climbed to fifth place closely followed (by one point) by the Guildford Flames who are doing very well in only their second season at this level.
At present the league title is finely balanced, possibly the tightest league ever this season.
I can't go without showing this video of Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers when, for the third consecutive time, the Arena was sold out.

This aggressiveness, put together with being disturbed, often means that these pests usually tend to sting repeatedly, which increases the potential for greater skin irritation or serious allergic reaction. A Pest Control Professional provides a level of expertise and expertise in technology which will best rid these stinging insects and stop future infestations.
Lyme disease has emerged lately as a major health risk to human beings. Transmitted by ticks, typically between May and October, Lyme disease is basically found in the Northwestern, upper mid-western states of the U.S. However, there's been a rise in the diagnosed cases of Lyme diseases in the South. It is critical to be vigilant of ticks, notably if you have been in wooded areas. Signs of Lyme disease will include a "bull's eye" rash about the bite, flu-like symptoms and extreme fatigue.
Fleas aren't just a problem for man's best friend. These pests, which commonly show up in warmer months, feast upon the blood from a warm-blooded body.

Rodent droppings frequently cause allergic reactions in human beings but can also cause disease, including the potentially deadly Hantavirus. More often, though, rodents serve as vectors, carrying bacteria, such as salmonella, on their bodies and contaminating food sources, kitchen surfaces and equipment. A Pest Control trained professional can provide the expertise and understanding of rodent biology to best protect your health and rid your home of any rodent infestation.
