Theme: Diverse thoughts; one mind

"If a man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear."
― Gene Roddenberry
How alike we are, yet so different, under the big blue umbrella and the vast ocean spread across. Similarly, how likely it is possible to come alike with as one mind, thriving towards one goal, though with diverse thoughts, that one passion to make this world a better place with self-contribution. Innovations, developing, almost all the fronts possessed by humankind and other partakers of our biosphere. Starting from dealing with very issues of basic health and education or different types of pollution to discovering better approaches towards space missions or movements bringing communities together to save nature and the very humankind. It all takes 'one idea', 'one thought', ultimately joining a group of 'think a like's' or shared approaches to be that 'one mind' breaking free of all barbarity, all superstition surrounding us.
Improvisation should be the 'mool mantra' (root reason) for the humankind. Our race should come together and venture towards decluttering the junk that has been piled up from ages, to provide the coming ages with enough resources, to build a sanitary living condition. We often say 'integrity in diversity' and attach it like a tag line while taking the name of our Nation. But, how sound and clear are we about the topic? How about diving into the depth of these words and present the world with clearer visions!
Thoughts are free to flow. It cannot be enslaved by any means. The better we know how to shape it, the clearer our vision is and the stronger our approach; diversity in thought process only opens new arenas for the populace, a novelty in lifestyle, opportunities to explore. It adds objectives towards our learning process and helps evaluate the outcomes non-biased. Hence, the more positive we are with our thought process, the brighter the result will be.
Therefore, we take this opportunity to bring the most united ones, presenting their distinct thought process, with their commitment towards a prosperous world, on one stage, the stage of TEDxPrahladnager presenting 'Diverse Thoughts; One mind'

A failed Kickstarter campaign didn't stop this game from coming!
Citizens of Earth, a new role-playing game developed by Eden Industries and published by Atlus, will be releasing on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops in the near future.
Developer Eden Industries tried previously to fund the game on Kickstarter, but failed to reach its goal. The game's modern setting features the Vice President of the World waking to find the world in pandemonium, and he must recruit citizens into his party to bring back order. The game features 41 recruitable party members.

So glad Atlus is taking westernized art styles more seriously.

Erm, no. The momentum for publishing indie RPGs on either system is too great.

I'm intrigued, but 41 characters puts you square into "that alleged Chrono Trigger sequel" territory...

When I'm into a woman, I literally can't stop staring. I'm like a little kid. I become completely entranced.
For a comedy to work, magic has to happen.
I want to work with great filmmakers and great actors and get better as an actor.
My mother emails me stuff about when she finds a paparazzi photo and they're like, his hair is out of control.
I was pretty as a child and I felt that I wasn't very manly and that plagued me for years.
I loved the college experience of studying.


Can non-regen infected start with bioware? RF does state that becoming infected lowers bioware rating, but doesnt say much in the way of chcharge. Any ideas?
A question I believe I can answer.
So bioware is affected by HMHV by lowering it's rating by one. If the bioware does not have a rating or is reduced to zero then the bioware disappears. Consumed by the HMHV.
This is in Run Faster.
So if an individual had a pain editor and a mnemonic enhancer R1, and then became infected, the pain editor would be consumed as it has no rating, and the mnemonic enhancer would also disappear as it's rating is reduced to zero. Had the mnemonic enhancer been rating 2, it would be reduced to rating 1.
To the question of if 'non regen' infected can 'start' with bioware, yes they can. To clarify, the regeneration power only amps up the requirements for bioware and cyberware, making it only delta that can be accepted. Otherwise the detriment to bioware is the same regardless if you have the regeneration power or not.
As you know, the rules for an infected are on page 133 of RF.
I never spotted that, and it never really made sense that it would just flat affect bioware. Becoming infected reduces it's rating, but installing it after becoming infected would take it into account. Getting a doc to work on an infected would be a pain... but bioware (especially cultured) would be custom made to accept it.
The intent behind the inquiry is to determine the considerations into chargen. This makes the question of time of acquisition irrelevant, as becoming-rules don't apply.
Therefore delta-grade if they have Regeneration. Muahahaa.

Opinion: The future's bright with Ole (back) at the wheel
Posted July 12, 2020 11:56 by

2020 will go down in history as a year like no other. It will be remembered as a time when the world stood still – pubs closed, schools shut and shops remained empty. Sporting events were cancelled, music tours silenced and no one was allowed out. As the world reeled in the wake of a lethal and unprecedented virus – which only now is beginning to loosen its deadly hold – a creature began to emerge.
Shuffling from its underground cavern after seven long years in hibernation, the creature emerges slowly but surely, sniffing the air and blinking into the sunlight at its new surroundings. This is the moment: a moment of a new life, a great rebirth, the second coming. 2020 was the year that a football club – OUR football club – came alive again. The sleeping giant of Manchester United was finally reawakened.
There had been glimpses: tantalising, hopeful glimpses but nothing like this. Not since the great gladiator had clambered onto horseback and ridden off into the sunset in the distant summer of 2013 had there been any tangible signs of life, a heartbeat or even a pulse. Plenty had tried but all had failed until the great gladiator sent his heir apparent – a man from the land of the fjords, a man who had been here before – only this time he was tasked with the rebuilding and revival of a fallen empire, leading from the front as manager rather than decorated player.
We had seen a similar experience before in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's predecessor but three – hand picked for the top job by royalty, a knight who could do no wrong amongst supporters whom hung on his every word. But the David Moyes experiment was to fail – the champions of Manchester United would not only miss out on the Champions League, but not make Europe full stop. A failed gamble on a successor whose heart was undoubtedly in the right place. He desperately wanted to succeed in a job no one could refuse, but he just wasn't good enough. In many ways, chapters that looked to have told a similar tale to the Solskjaer story. But where the Moyes plan failed to come to fruition, the green shoots of recovery have started to push through the surface for Solskjaer's United.
There have been times when lightning has threatened to strike twice – when the Norwegian seemed another with a humble if respectable coaching record promoted above his limits. The wrong choice for the right reasons, but proof that sentiment can only get you so far in a world dominated by the era of the superstar Galactico. Solskjaer occasionally wandered into delusion when clutching to positives, but it least it offered a different narrative from the moaning and moribund manner of Jose Mourinho. Residing over a team incapable of keeping the ball and one with a midfield conspicuous by its absence, there were days when the latest incumbent of the Old Trafford hotseat seemed only one game from a sticky and unsavoury end. He was seen as a one trick pony, the counter-attacking manager with no Plan B. But Solskjaer had been vehement in both his faith in youth and a steadfast belief that better times were coming.
Yet now there are genuine grounds from optimism. United of course have a long way to go to match the metronomic heights of that great gladiator, if they ever get there at all. They may not do, but – whisper it – have we got a shot of the title next season? With a couple of reinforcements, namely a Jadon Sancho or a Jack Grealish and a new centre-back, you can't count us out. We need better squad depth and the rebuild isn't there yet, but even the most ardent ABU cannot deny that something special is building. That counter attack in still there, waiting in the wings, but United are far more versatile and adaptive, equally as adept going at full throttle or being patient as they are at sitting back and picking sides off.
More Stories about Manchester United
The Reds are a side transformed, the nation's form team on a run of five wins in a row – four of them by three goals or more. Not even the great gladiator ever managed that. Unbeaten in 17 and carried along on a wave of momentum, confidence and belief, this is the best Reds side I've had the pleasure of watching since the last great team of the mid 00s. It may be true that five of these wins have come against the lesser lights of Sheffield United, Brighton, Bournemouth and Villa, but this was exactly the type of game in which United had come up short in the past.
That was until the arrival of a talismanic figurehead, a majestic, magnificent, string pulling Portuguese by the name of Bruno Fernandes – a playmaker with the most transformative effect since Eric Cantona. It feels sensationalist to say that Fernandes is our greatest catalyst since Le Roi, but the way he's going his impact could eclipse that of even Old Trafford's greatest enigma. Gone is the stifling, strangling, pragmatic raison d'etre of Messrs Louis van Gaal and Mourinho, replaced by Solskjaer's Fantasy Football – fluid, fast, fierce and fun. 14 behind Leicester after 24 games, United are now only a solitary point off the faltering Foxes and have every chance of a top three finish and two trophies. Not bad for a PE teacher from Norway.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have had their best seasons in Red and Paul Pogba looks happy again. Times are so good that even his compatriot Martial is smiling and – in Mason Greenwood – United have a generational 18 year old talent with the world at his feet and the highest of ceilings. I genuinely think Greenwood could be the best Academy kid we've had since Ryan Giggs. I don't want to hype him up, but it's hard not to when he's outperforming Wayne Rooney at this age.
Solskjaer has often spoken of a brighter future for his young Manchester United – and now it's here.

Boost your home's curb appeal and get ready for summer!
"We had the pleasure of working with Spotless to pressure wash the exterior of our new home. Our house had been vacant for a while and there was quite a bit of debris (spiderwebs, etc) outside. Not only were they wonderfully communicative, but I actually enjoyed every interaction with each and every person there! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone, and hope to work with them again soon!"
It's the weekend, you're having guests over and your vinyl siding could use a good wash down. To save a little money, maybe you knock on your neighbors door to ask if you can borrow their pressure washer or you go out and buy one yourself — it's natural that we all want to try and do home cleaning ourselves. But for the safety of you, your family and for the protection of your home, please make sure to use a professional, licensed and insured pressure washing company.
At Spotless Power Wash, we have over 10 years of pressure washing experience. From understanding how much pressure needs to be applied to various surfaces to knowing how to protect your plants from the wash, we've got the knowledge and tools to get the job done right for you the first time. We are fully licensed and insured too, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is covered, no matter what.
Why trust Spotless Power Wash to help you feel proud of your property's exterior?
When you go out and purchase your own pressure washer, although you may think you are saving money, what you could actually do is blow a hole in your home's vinyl siding or leave your driveway with stripes rather than the spotless result you were hoping for. Even worse than damaging your home, it's dangerous for you and those around you to use such a powerful piece of equipment, without having any experience. After doing this for over a decade, we can tell you that it's not worth the risk. With our years of experience, it also means that we can do a thorough job in a lot less time — we can come in and pressure wash your home exterior in two hours. This saves you a weekend of trying to do the job yourself, along the days of stiffness and aching after operating the equipment.
"What a pleasure dealing with a company that really cares about their customers! Scheduled an appointment for 10am and Rob arrived right on time. VERY nice guy who explained the entire procedure. Great pressure washing job on our 2 story removing all algae accumulation. Pam called late afternoon to ensure everything was ok and if we had any concerns. Will definitely refer this company to relatives and friends!"
Having the tools of the trade certainly helps. We use a professional super-heated truck mount system which can pump 8 gallons of water per minute and has a heater installed. Too much pressure can not only damage your vinyl siding, it can also damage your concrete too. Having heat can be a lot safer to your concrete and it is excellent in removing those gum and oil stains!
When soft washing your house, we make two full passes around it. On our first pass, we'll lay down a foam wash to get rid of that nasty mold and mildew. Then, we come back around and rinse. If you home is a little older, we can also use some brightener which will help to make the color pop again!
Along with house washing, we also wash your concrete and decking, understanding the different pressure and cleaning solutions needed for both. That green slimy stuff on your deck is a slipping hazard. We'll make sure that is removed properly so you can get out and enjoy your garden ready for the summer!
If you would like to have your property exterior cleaned by a licensed and insured professional, get in touch with us today!
If you are not satisfied with the job completed, we'll come back within 7 days for free!


When is Limerick Day in 2017? We'll tell you straightaway: this holiday, named after the Irish city (but having nothing to do with it) and glorifying the wacky verse form is celebrated annually on the birthday of an English author (not its inventor, though). Are you feeling a tad bewildered? Then welcome to the unconventional world of nonsense literature!
Nobody knows since when Limerick Day became part of the globe's celebratory calendar. However, it's widely known that the day it falls on is not a randomly chosen one. This date is marked by the birth of a prominent artist, poet, and musician from North London – Edward Lear (1812-1888).
Being a 21st child in his family, he got the talents in full. In spite of the lack of education (he was brought up by his older sister and didn't attend formal education establishments), Lear demonstrated his natural gifts from the early childhood. First, he was engrossed in the art, principally drawing birds from life and later landscapes of the places he'd traveled to. Besides, the Englishman was noted among the musicians for his compositions. He set to music the poems of the famous Victorian author – Alfred Tennyson – and got his downright approval.
Thus, the creative power of Lear was long ago unleashed and required another field of being directed to. Therefore, he tried the poetry out in practice and ended up publishing a quirky book named "A Book of Nonsense". The opus was a huge success with the readership and still is. Of course, it wasn't just a usual work: this one was crammed with lots of humorous and ridiculous limericks! The poet even had to the next book called "Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany and Alphabets" to satisfy the public thirsty for the new limericks.
You know where we're heading to, right? Although Edward Lear is not the originator of this genre, it was he who brought the whimsical verses – well-loved since then – back to the people. So, giving the answer on when is National Limerick Day 2017, it is always set for May 12.
Before we initiate you into the mystery of how to appropriately spend the day, let us clarify what the limerick is. Named for the third largest city in Ireland, the limerick is a poetic form of the nonsense literature genre or a humorous poetry's category. There's an opinion that it appeared around 500 years ago but was revived in the 19th century thanks to Edward Lear.
Where's that name come from? Well, it's a good question. The most scholars agreed on the association of Limerick city with an abundance of various taverns, pubs and the like. Originally, the limericks were of the obscene and often indecent content, that's why they were quick to become the favorite jokes of the grass roots at the table accompanied with a glass of beer.
As for the structure, it may be difficult to perceive the following description with the eyes. However, no matter what day Limerick Day in 2017 falls on, you can always scan these hilarious poems! But better read thoroughly.
You can easily distinguish these short mocking poems from any other rhymed combinations due to their strictly specified scheme of writing. Limericks are five-lines long and feature anapestic beat with AABBA rhyming structure. If you're not a literature-minded expert, we'll translate it to the simple English: the verse has the first, second and last lines rhymed with each other while the third and fourth ones differ in their own rhyme and shorter length. Moreover, the first and the fifth lines' usually end with the same word. Anapestic meter stands for the pattern – like pa-pa-PAM – with the long syllable preceded by two short sounds.
What does Limerick Day mean? For the inhabitants of Limerick city, it's more like the day of their home, although they don't forget about the roots of its recognition. For the poets' community, it's acknowledged to be the date when the writers take off their hat out of respect for Lear's works. For an average man, it's another reason to celebrate this year in an amusing way.
Perhaps, if you ask – what is the date of Limerick Day 2017, you'll get most of the right answers from the English people since they share their motherland with the limericks. But it's never too late to inspire the mankind with these five funny rhyming lines.
Actually, the genre of nonsensical literature is quite popular all over the world due to the wide spreading of this absurd poem type. Making up a limerick is a good way to stretch the imagination and, believe us, there's so much of those who dabble in verses' writing. So can you!
Again, what's about Limerick Day's celebration?
Starting with the most exotic way to honor the limericks and Edward Lear's memory, you can make a trip to the captivating lands of Ireland on May 12! That's a prime opportunity to enjoy the tipsy spirit of Limerick's taverns, exchange a few verses with the locals (they have to know some, don't they?) and learn the true meaning of the first silly poems. Although it might be time-consuming and, probably, costly project, it is definitely worth it.
The more common idea would be to organize the limericks' evening. Invite your friends, relatives – whoever you want – prepare some refreshments and amaze them, or rather infect them with the uncontrollable laugh, through the heartfelt reading of the strophes. After a while, turn it the other way around, now it's your time to roar with laughter!
Anyway, you can come up with the most constructive plan as well. Just take a pen, a notebook and cross over into the world of creativity and kingdom of amusing word combinations. You have the scheme and you're equipped with all the necessary things for writing (alas, not an authentic pen). So rhyme on!
Always keep in mind that the Internet abounds with the bawdy limericks thus be careful while choosing ones to read out to the children before bed.
Edward Lear invented 212 limericks and provided illustrations drawn with his own hand for each of them. On top of that, his books were the sources of great inspiration for Lewis Carroll and the French surrealists.
Before publication of the books, Edward Lear was highly appreciated for his painting talent. One day he even was invited by Queen Victoria to give her Majesty several lessons of drawing.
Woodrow Wilson – the 28th President of the USA – was indeed a die-hard fan of the limericks! He recited them so oftentimes that some admirers spread a rumor of his own authorship. Unfortunately, there's no evidence of Wilson's works. If he tried out his creativity in this field, none of the lines saw the light of the day.
There's only one little thing left: set a reminder in the calendar, when is National Limerick Day in 2017. Then count down the days till the holiday and get geared up for the humorous Monday!

Bushwick was the center of rumors about checkpoints and arrests over the weekend, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Bushwick found itself at the center of a widely-circulated notice regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids over the weekend. The rumors flying around Facebook and other social media outlets mentioned home raids, roadblocks, and checkpoints.
In a memo from ICE obtained by DNAinfo, the agency confirmed that about 40 people were arrested in the most recent raids last week. The memo also noted that 95 percent of those people had previous criminal convictions.
In a statement issued today, Make the Road New York (MRNY), a local immigrant and community rights organization, highlighted their condemnation of recent ICE activity which increasingly points to arrests made of people who do have legal authorization to work and live in the United States granted by the federal government.
Antonio Alarcon, a DACA recipient and Youth Organizer for MRNY stressed that they are encouraging community members to document and report any activity such as roadblocks or checkpoints. So far, they have not been able to independently confirm that ICE or the Department of Homeland Security are employing those tactics.
DNAinfo also reported one confirmed arrest in Bushwick of a 30 year-old man from Puebla, Mexico who had been deported 10 years ago but reentered the country five years later according to Immigration Defense Project lawyer Genia Blaser. There is no information yet about how the man was arrested.
There will be a rally at the Department of Homeland Security (201 Varet St. in Manhattan) organized by MRNY tomorrow at 5 p.m. to demand the release of Daniel Ramirez Medina, a DACA recipient with no criminal record detained in Seattle by ICE.
Regardless of who was arrested and under what circumstances, the raids are creating ripples of anxiety in Bushwick, the rest of the city, and the country at large. Local organizations such as Churches United for Fair Housing are organizing Know Your Rights workshops in order to help attendees figure out how to respond to a precarious and ever-changing situation.
We will update our readers with information regarding these workshops as it comes to us.

During the month of March, when Lent concludes with the Easter celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the UCC will raise the voices of Israelis and Palestinians who seek peace and justice in the region where our Savior once walked. This third multimedia campaign tied to the church's core mission encourages all to advocate for peace.
Both the Rev. Barbara Kershner Daniel and the Rev. Kenneth Daniel grew up understanding the importance of the United Church of Christ's One Great Hour of Sharing program and how it changes and saves lives. When the couple was approached about supporting the work of One Great Hour of Sharing, they stepped up to serve as national spokespersons for an OGHS endowment fund established two years ago that aims to deepen and expand the work of the church and its partners.
Arts and immigration justice will intersect in Arizona for three days during the "Common Ground on the Border" festival. In its third year, the March 17-19 event gathers a multicultural community of musicians, artists, writers, lecturers, actors, and dancers of all ages at The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ, in the United States-Mexico borderlands, for conversation and creativity.
As citizens of this great republic, we know that one way to ensure our voices are heard is in the voting booth.
The Rev. J. Bennett Guess, executive minister of the United Church of Christ's Local Church Ministries, is resigning his position as national officer on April 8, 2016, to assume a new role as vice president of the UCC's Council for Health and Human Service Ministries.
As the United States decides how to open up more opportunities to get Americans to Cuba, advocates in the United Church of Christ are calling on Congress to open up trade with the island nation.
The national office of the United Church of Christ is welcoming a new individual who will serve and support the 5,000-plus congregations of the denomination as they seek to grow in witness, outreach and welcome. The Rev. Chris Davies began her role as the coordinator for the Congregational Assessment, Support and Advancement (CASA) Ministry in Local Church Ministries on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Anticipating Easter, members of a small but mighty New Mexico church are working to bring more kindness to their community, taking on good works in God's name during Lent instead of giving up something.
Innovation. A range of music. And worship sounds that come from across the planet. Such are the promises from the two worship teams — Tribe of Judah and Glocal — who will provide the harmony and soundtrack to this summer's National Youth Event.

            return res

what should i do to fix the error
thanks before :)

A: The problem is here:
return {'value' : {'worked_days_line_ids' : vals }}

You try to insert a list into a dictionary, however, this is impossible as lists are unhashable. You can solve it by converting the list to a tuple:
return {'value' : {'worked_days_line_ids' : tuple(vals)}}

A: ive got the solution so instead using (1,ID,{values}) iam using (0,0,{values})
and update it later, here is my code solution :
vals.append([0,0,{'number_of_days':counter,
                'number_of_hours':hrs, 'contract_id':pay.contract_id}])
                ovrtm = {'worked_days_line_ids' : vals }
                res['value'].update(ovrtm)

PlayStation Plus: What Do We Get For The First 2021 Line-Up?
General news News PlayStation PlayStation News 12/30/2020
We are once again at the last Wednesday of the month, meaning the question is standing: those who pay money to have a PlayStation Plus membership (which is necessary to have online multiplayer in PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 titles), what games are they getting to expand their digital collection in the first month of 2021?
You still have a chance to get caught up on the December games, so in case you missed them (or, in a better scenario, received a PlayStation 4 or even a PlayStation 5 for Christmas), then you can get Worms Rumble (which launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 as a PlayStation Plus title outright, similarly to Rocket League before), Just Cause 4, and – possibly due to December – a third title, Rocket Arena. All of these were joined by a free multiplayer weekend, as well as Bugsnax still up for grabs this week on PlayStation 5, not to mention the PlayStation Plus Collection.
But what is Sony starting 2021 with? The PlayStation 5 owners will get the open-world shark RPG (ShaRkPG?) called Maneater, while the PlayStation 4 users can acquire Shadow of the Tomb Raider (the third and final instalment of the Lara Croft's origin story reboot trilogy), as well as Greedfall by Spiders. All three titles are available on the PlayStation 5 with the help of backwards compatibility, available for free until February 1 for the subscribers. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia does not get Maneater, and the Middle-East are also locked out of Greedfall (they get Assetto Corsa instead), plus Japan and South Korea get Mistover instead.
These moves showcase how Sony want to ease the subscribers over into the PlayStation 5 stable. Currently, the subscribers get a single PlayStation 5 title (with access to all three), while the PlayStation 4 users get two games but no access to the PS5 title.

You are here: Home / Home Improvement Ideas / Home Improvement / Extending Your House Is Far Less Hassle Than Moving To A Bigger One!
There comes a time in every family's life when the house in which they are living just isn't big enough anymore. At this point, you have three options – firstly, put up with it, secondly, move to a bigger house, or thirdly, make the most of what you have got!
Seeing as putting up with it will just be stressful, and moving to a bigger house is something that not many people can afford, a room addition is the best possible solution! In this article, we'll tell you a little more so that you can decide whether or not extending your house could be right for you.
Extending a house is not without its complications. Firstly, you'll need to have enough space for the additional room or rooms, and that in itself can be a challenge. Then, you'll need to make sure that you have planning permission, and you will need the help of an architect to help you get this through. Plus, when the extension is being done, you will have to put up with a little short-term disruption. So, why do it?
The simple fact is that as a family grows, so does its need for space. Adding an extra room or a couple of extra rooms significantly impacts your quality of life – you will find that everybody is able to spread out a little more, meaning less conflicts and more happy family times!
You will have to find an architect that you know and trust – get one on recommendation from your friends if you don't know one personally. Then, once the plans are in place and the relevant permissions required, you will need to recruit a building contractor. Choose one that is experienced in room additions so that you are confident that they will be able to get on with it and get the job done quickly. The more you communicate with your architect and builder, the better, as they will need to be absolutely clear on your brief.
When the day of the works arrives, try to plan lots of outdoor activities so that you are out of the house as much as possible (summertime is definitely the best for large building works to happen). Be patient as the work is carried out, and in the meantime, start looking for décor and furniture ideas.
When the new room or rooms are ready, it's time to decorate them, and fit them out. You should have already decided what purpose each new room with serve, so make sure that you are ready to kit it out as soon as the works are finished. It'll take some time for all the dust to settle, so be prepared for some serious vacuum cleaning!
Before you know it, you will be living in a house that better suits your needs for a fraction of the price that it would have cost to move house altogether. Make the most of your new-found space and don't be tempted to clutter it up – keep the house tidy for maximum enjoyment!

I recently had a chance to sit down with Dianne Saxe, a top environmental lawyer in Toronto to discuss the proposed changes to the approvals system in Ontario. Here is our video, take a look at the links and transcript below for full details, and don't forget to visit her great blog here.
1. Tell us about Ontario's "Proposed Framework for Modernizing Environmental Approvals". What's the intent behind it?
2. Practically, what will it mean for businesses? How do you expect the proposed framework to change the rules for businesses required to get permits?
3. Can we expect that business will have to renew their approvals more regularly for high risk activities? How is that any different than from the way things are being run today?
4. You noted on your blog that the MOE is proposing changes that would allow it to hold parent companies responsible for cleanup and costs of their subsidiaries where financial assurance was absent or inadequate. Is this feasible?
Jonathan Brun: Today I am with Dianne Saxe, a top environmental lawyer based in Toronto and we're going to be discussing the proposed framework for modernizing the approvals system in Ontario, so Dianne, I was hoping you could give us a really quick overview of your firm and what you work in.
Dianne Saxe: Thank you Jonathan. We're a small environmental law firm in Ontario, in Toronto as you said. I'm an environmental law specialist and I've been an energy and environmental lawyer for more than 30 years. Half of that for government, and half for private practice. I've dealt with approvals on both sides of the government fence over that period of time and if anyone wants more details about us, they're on our web site at envirolaw.com.
Jonathan Brun: That's right, yeah. You have, I'd say, the top environmental law blog in the country, easily, so it's definitely worth a look for everybody watching the video.
Jonathan Brun: So, I guess we'll dive right into the questions, and the first one would be – If you could quickly tell us about Ontario's proposed framework for modernizing environmental approvals. What's the intent behind it? What's the government trying to accomplish with this proposed framework?
Dianne Saxe: The key thing to try to understand about the approvals framework is that it hasn't changed much in 40 years, and in that time everything else has changed. In 1971 when the Ministry of the Environment first began issuing approvals, basically, no one in private industry knew or cared anything about environmental protection. That wasn't their job, so the only people who had expertise on pollution control, and particularly air pollution control, which is what a lot of this is about, were in the Ministry of the Environment. And so, the law was set up to say that no one could do anything having to do with pollution without a Ministry permit, and the Ministry people checked all the engineering because other people didn't know very much. That's 40 years ago. It hasn't been like that for a long time. So, for at least 20 years, those of us who work in the field have known we need to change the system. It is not time effective. It's not cost effective. It hinders innovation. It makes it hard to be an innovative company in Ontario. The current approval system is a huge economic and environmental drag. It needs to be changed, and the key things that are changing in the new system are to distinguish between low risk and high risk activities. The Ministry issues about 6,000 approvals a year, and the statistics vary, but about half of them don't require Ministry engineering. The 37th time somebody applies for a paint booth, the Ministry already knows the rules they're going to put on somebody who wants to put in a new paint booth, so they're just going to publish them. You want to build a paint booth, you have to do these things, same as everybody else who wants to build a paint booth. So, the application process is going to be very short. If you comply with the requirements, you have your approval the day you file your application.
Dianne Saxe: So, up until now, the emphasis has been on what's called the "Qualified Person," which is your consultant, having to certify various things. But now, the senior person in the company is going to be the Accountable Person, and they are going to have to certify every year that the company is complying with its permit.
Jonathan Brun: Ok, will they be more liable under the proposed system then they are currently today?
Dianne Saxe: Yes, that's the point.
Dianne Saxe: The plant manager/the senior person is going to be personally accountable because they're going to have to sign this certificate and send it to the government, and if you provide false information to the government, that's a very serious offense. You can go to jail for it. So, the senior individual is going to have a more personal interest in whether the permit is being complied with.
Jonathan Brun: Does the framework also require companies to renew their permits more frequently? I'm talking about the high risk items, not so much the generic ones that will be dealt with by more [INAUDIBLE], but the high risk ones. Will the permits be required to be renewed more frequently, or is the time not really a factor in the proposed framework?
Jonathan Brun: Is there a plan in the framework to make the request more digital and less paper-based to allow them to allocate more resources to renewing the permits more frequently and to increase liability? Are they planning to really go 100% digital?
Dianne Saxe: That's the plan. Now, we're not supposed to say "e-health" [INAUDIBLE] that we're thinking about this. It's some of the same problems and there is some/all of the same reasons. Yes, it has to be digital. Everyone will be able to see everyone's certificate of approval which has never happened before.
Jonathan Brun: It remains to be seen if the government can pull it off, but I mean it would be fantastic and I think it would set a president for other jurisdictions in Canada to follow suit because it would certainly be great to see this across the country.
Dianne Saxe: Absolutely. Now, one other thing that's being done in the approval system that's important is the question of financial assurance. Financial assurance is money that a company puts up during its operations to guarantee that there's money available for clean up if there's a problem, either at the end of their life or if there is an accident. We've had this system for decades and it has never worked very well. In fact, the Ministry of the Environment admitted a few months ago in a hearing that of the 30 times in their entire existence where they've called on financial assurance, never once did they have it. (laughter) Sometimes they're off by $60,000,000. So, that ends up coming out of the taxpayer or it ends up with things not getting cleaned up. So, they have admitted, or they were forced to admit in this hearing, that they need to fix this and they have signaled in the approvals reform process that they're going to fix it, and by fixing it, that means there's going to be more financial assurance required, but they may also be a little more flexible on how you can provide it. Final piece of this is the question of "What if the company goes bust and hasn't left enough financial assurance?" which has happened quite often, the [INAUDIBLE] chemical case being the one where they were $60,000,000 off. But, the Ministry is now proposing is that parent companies will be liable if a subsidiary goes bust without having provided sufficient financial assurance.
Jonathan Brun: The framework is open for comments until April 16th and we mentioned earlier that they're hoping to get the whole system in place in the next two and a half years, so do you have any sense of their timeline over the next 6 to 8 months in terms of implementing some of their proposed changes?
Dianne Saxe: I think they're going to be very aggressive. To get all this done in the time provided is a sprint that starts now. The Ministry has promised that we're going to start seeing certificates of approval online this month, and more and more signs of electronic transparency in the near future. So, whether we're going to actually have legislation passed this fall, I don't know, but I don't think they're going to get everything in place by 2012 unless they start moving with legislation quite quickly.
Jonathan Brun: Ok, great. Well, I think that pretty much sums up the main issues dealing with the proposed changes to the approval system in Ontario. I was wondering if you had any additional comments on the proposed framework or anything else going on. Ontario is by far the most aggressive in terms of new environmental legislation. So, we could talk for hours, but I was wondering if you had any other comments about the Ontario environmental legislative scene?
Dianne Saxe: Well, the bottom line of the approvals change is that it's very important. We need it badly. The transition's going to be tough, but we should be better off at the other side.
Jonathan Brun: Great. Well, thank you Dianne. I've been speaking with Dianne Saxe, who is a top environmental lawyer based in Toronto. Definitely check out her blog at envirolaw.com, and we hope to be able to follow this and other environmental changes in Ontario with you on an ongoing basis. It's been a real pleasure, and thanks for taking the time to speak with us today.
Dianne Saxe: Oh, my pleasure. Thank you, Jonathan.


Arts Council England (ACE) has announced £2.4m of funding to help museums in England build their capacity to borrow objects from national and Major Partner museums.
The funding will be made available through the second round of ACE's Ready to Borrow: Small Scale Capital Development Scheme.
Small grants will be given to museums so they can upgrade exhibition spaces and host loaned objects. In 2015 the scheme provided funding for 60 museums.
ACE has also announced that its Ambition for Excellence Award of £730,000 will go to the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester Museum, Manchester Art Gallery, Liverpool Biennial and The Tetley in Leeds to support a three-year cultural exchange between the Northern Powerhouse and South Asia. The project will see the northern cultural institutions working with projects in Lahore and Karachi Pakistan; Kochi, India; and Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The resulting project New North and South will include a series of exhibitions, performances and educational events in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. It will open in 2017 to mark the 70th anniversary of the partition of India and conclude with the opening of Manchester Museum's permanent South Asia gallery in 2020.
New North and South will highlight the North of England's long association with the Indian sub-continent and forge partnerships with artists and curators in that part of the world.
Maria Balshaw, the director of the Whitworth Art Gallery and Manchester City Galleries, said the funding would also allow the museums to develop new connections with the South Asian communities in and around Manchester.

The Church in Crisis: A History of the General Councils, 325-1870
Cluny Media
By Philip Hughes
The Church in Crisis
On January 25, 1959, Pope John XXIII convoked the Second Vatican Council, initiating a series of history-shaping achievements and crises. Yet, as The Church in Crisis: A History of the General Councils, 325-1870—published one year after that convocation—illustrates, Vatican II is but one among many in that regard. Each of the twenty councils studied in this volume had its origin in a particular crisis within or around the Church—a crisis that by no means received an immediate or convenient resolution. Notable among Hughes's surveys are those of the Council of Constantinople, which affirmed the Nicene Creed; the Council of Chalcedon, which struck down the heresy of Monophysitism; the First Lateran Council, which adjudicated the separation of spiritual and temporal powers; and the Council of Trent, which condemned the manifold errors of the Protestant Reformation.
"The General Council of the teaching Church…is an exceptional phenomenon in the life of the Church, and usually it appears in connection with some great crisis of that life." (Philip Hughes)
Objective in its analysis and compendious in its treatment of ecclesial, political, and theological matters alike, The Church in Crisis is a fascinating and crucial guide to twenty of the most influential events in the history of the Roman Catholic Church from its beginnings to the end of the twentieth century.
Philip Hughes (1895–1967) was a Roman Catholic priest, ecclesiastical historian, and prolific author. After holding a professorship in history at St. Thomas College, he served as pastor at various English parishes, as archivist for the Archdiocese of Westminster, and as professor of history at the University of Notre Dame, where he concluded his career. Outstanding among his many works is the three-volume A History of the Church.

Under the leadership of a visionary general, USAA fosters high employee engagement in the service of its military members. Here's how.
If we want our employees to treat our members with dignity and respect, we have to treat our employees with dignity and respect.
Josue Robles Jr. -- "General Joe" -- became president and CEO of USAA in December 2007, the month economists say the Great Recession began in the U.S. and nine months before a global financial collapse. But while many other financial service providers were treading water amid the turbulence of the financial crisis, USAA, which provides financial services to past and present members of the U.S. military and their families, continued to expand rapidly. Since 2007, its membership has grown by more than 50% and currently stands at just over 10 million. The company's annual revenue has risen 45% during that time.
Highly engaged employees who are fully aligned with USAA's powerful mission are an important factor in the company's success. USAA's leadership -- starting with Robles himself -- puts a high priority on its workplace engagement program. And the organization has seen positive results. Over five years, USAA has grown its number of engaged employees by 20% and is now in the top decile of companies in Gallup's Q12 engagement database. In 2014, the company was one of 32 to receive the Gallup Great Workplace Award.
Robles will retire in early 2015 after a distinguished 28-year military career and 24 years on the board of directors and in top leadership roles at USAA. He will leave behind a legacy of unwavering dedication to USAA's customers and a leadership style that emphasizes empowering employees to fully capitalize on their energy and creativity. Both characteristics are on full display in the following interview.
Gallup Business Journal: USAA has done very well in reaching new customers, maintaining its financial health, and expanding its online services since the onset of the financial crisis in 2008. To what do you attribute the company's success in tough times?
General Josue "Joe" Robles: I've asked myself that question many times. It boils down to three fundamental things. First and foremost is our customer base -- we call them members. We have very loyal, very disciplined, very honorable people who constitute our membership because we offer our products to people who serve in the military, or have served with an honorable discharge, or are eligible as part of a military family. When you have customers who have that kind of discipline and background, it's easy to be successful.
Next, couple that with an employee workforce made up of people who are passionate about their work. They come to work every day charged up because they know they're going to help people who have served this country well -- or help families of those who have served. That's one of the reasons I came to work for USAA, because it's the closest I could be to the military and still be able to serve while not being in uniform.
The third factor is our tremendous financial strength and very conservative approach to leadership and management. While other companies go out on the risk curve and take undue risk, we tend not to do that. We tend to look through the eyes of our members when making decisions. I'll often say, "Let's talk about an issue, and I'm going to be a forty-seven-year member rather than the CEO -- how am I going to react to this?" So our success comes from a combination of great members, great employees, a very strong financial base, and a conservative approach to leadership and management that has made us who we are today.
How do high levels of employee engagement translate to positive business outcomes for USAA?
Gen. Robles: It starts with our focus on members. I learned when I first joined USAA that the philosophy or the culture was that if you take care of the customer, the customer will take care of the company. We want to make sure that we treat our employees the way we want them to treat our members. If we want them to treat our members with dignity and respect, we have to treat our employees with dignity and respect.
As long as I've been associated with USAA, we've had a special focus on employees. One of the things our employees have told us over and over again is "We want to work in a professional environment that supports what we have to do. And given that we spend long hours and long days on the telephone every year taking millions of phone calls, we appreciate the fact that you provide us with a world-class workplace that we can be proud of."
If you've ever been to our San Antonio campus, it's about 286 acres. And it has fitness centers, it has cafeterias, it has all the things that you would expect in a world-class workplace. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve the workplace as a fitting tribute to the work that our employees do every single day on behalf of our members. And we get strong positive feedback that says we're hitting the mark.
Now, we're not perfect, and one of the things that's useful to me every year when I get the Gallup engagement survey results is where employees write in and say, "You could do even better if you focus on giving us better tools," or giving us more media recognition, or whatever it happens to be. So the workplace has to be up to the standards of the work routine, and I believe that we match those two really well.
Servant leadership means I work from a service perspective -- service to the nation, service to my team here at USAA, service to our members and the communities in which I live.
How does USAA's mission to help service members and their families achieve financial stability influence engagement among your employees?
Gen. Robles: Our employees know that most of our members don't make a lot of money and that they often put their life on the line without asking much of their country except to support them when they're put in harm's way. Our members are such a special group of people that our employees take their hats off to them and help them in extraordinary ways that go way above and beyond the call of duty. When you ask our employees why they do this, they say, "Because it's the least we can do for our members." That's the prevailing attitude among most of our employees.
Under your watch, USAA has implemented technological innovations designed to improve access to its services, most notably advances in mobile banking. Why is it important that the company be at the cutting edge of technological change?
Gen. Robles: We're always striving to make products and services easier to access and simpler to use. I challenged our team to develop our smartphone capability so our members -- who are all over the world and deployed in many cases -- can do just about anything over the phone, whether they're in Afghanistan, or Iraq, or wherever. We call our mobile services the "representative on a belt" or the "banker on a belt."
We're not all the way there yet, but I would say we have one of the best, most comprehensive websites and among the best automated capabilities in the financial services industry. This year, it's estimated that we'll do more than 500 million interactions on smartphones, about 100 million with our member service reps, and another 300 million or more on desktop computers. So mobile banking fits perfectly with the lifestyle and the deployment characteristics of our members.
The White House recently held its first summit on working families to encourage employers to adopt family-friendly policies. USAA has already been recognized as a leader in this area, with benefits that include on-site daycare for many employees and flexible spending accounts for child care expenses. Why do you think this is important for the company?
Gen. Robles: Employees who have served in the military or are in the family of someone who wears the uniform represent one of the richest talent pools we have in this company. Military spouses also happen to be one of our key sources of knowledge about our customers. We spent years trying to locate our military members wherever they were, to track them down when they were on the rifle range, doing physical training, wherever. We often had a hard time connecting with them, so we decided to start connecting with their spouses on a regular basis. First, they're usually easier to find -- and second, they're often the ones to make all the household financial decisions anyway and tend to know about our products and services.
So we have a good connection with military spouses, and we put a priority on hiring them. I have a simple rule for my HR team: At least 30% of the new hires for this company will be veterans or military spouses because the richness that they bring to the workforce is extraordinary. We try to be as flexible as possible on where people work, so some military spouses can take their jobs with them if their husband or wife is relocated to another base.
You have been described as the model of a "servant leader." What does that leadership style mean to you, and how does it work at USAA?
Gen. Robles: I actually got a book about servant leadership called The Carpenter from one of my direct reports just before I started talking to you. To me, servant leadership means I work from a service perspective -- service to the nation, service to my team here at USAA, service to our members and the communities in which I live. When I retired from the military, I wanted to continue to serve military families because in my view, they were a group who were being underserved. They often don't make a lot of money, and at times they get taken for granted -- and they do wonderful things for this nation.
Within USAA, our employees expect their leaders to care, to be supportive, and to understand their needs more than anybody else does. I think that view of leadership resonates well with employees no matter what industry they're in, and certainly in this industry.
You're retiring early next year. How would you like people -- particularly USAA's employees -- to remember your tenure as the organization's chief executive?
Gen. Robles: I think I will be talked about as a leader who got the company moving back to its roots. We got really big during the financial crisis, partly because the members needed us more than they'd ever needed us before. But I also knew we had to shore up some of our fundamentals for the long term -- to make sure our contact centers had modern equipment and that our policies made sense for the 21st century. So I went back and looked at everything we did for our members and our employees to make sure they were modernized and innovative for the future. USAA is a great institution that needs to be treasured and constantly modernized.
Congratulations on your remarkable career. Would you like to add anything?
Gen. Robles: I want to emphasize one more time -- with feeling -- how wonderful our members are, because in the main, they're disciplined, they're great patriots, and they serve their country without asking for a lot. It is the joy and privilege of my life to have been able to help U.S. service members, both in uniform and out of uniform.

Smith On Branding
Men Define Loyalty Programs Through Honor, Women See Trust
It seems you can't venture anywhere in the retail environment without being offered enrollment in a loyalty program. According to the new Living Loyal study from customer engagement agency The Marketing Store, shoppers, on average, have 10 loyalty cards in their wallet. But although they may be called loyalty programs, two in three customers don't think being loyal to a brand is important.
"There's an opportunity to maximize marketers' investments in established loyalty programs by using data they likely already have about their customers' preferences," says Jeremy Ages, director of strategy and planning, The Marketing Store.
Ages says men and women define loyalty from very different perspectives. Oh yeah, he also says 'storytelling' is important to engage the consumer and enhance their experience with your brand. No, that's not me pitching content marketing; he really did say it.
"While it may seem obvious, men and women approach loyalty differently and marketers should take this into consideration when crafting the language of their messaging," says Ages.

Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge
Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge (often shortened to just Cheyenne Cinnamon) is an animated series from Aqua Teen Hunger Force creator Dave Willis.
4 Broadcast History
The series revolves around the titular Cheyenne Cinnamon, a teenage pop musician, attempting to help regular people solve problems such as racism and teen pregnancy through the power of love and pop songs. One of the main sources of humor is the show's portrayal of Cinnamon as a stereotypical pop singer, showing her to be dimwitted and blissfully unaware of the world around her, as well as the series' lampooning the stereotypical "clean cut role model" image given to many young pop musicians. Cinnamon's outward image is pure and loving, but in reality she is far from this.
The series is set in the Candyland-esque world of Sugar Town Candy Fudge on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan. Characters in Sugar Town Candy Fudge all appear to be sweets and candy, including Cinnamon's agent/manager Gummi, a gummy candy shaped like a small, fat man, and other background characters including talking chocolate rabbits and gingerbread men.
A pregnant 12-year-old named Emily has fallen in love with her softball coach, who also happens to be the father of her unborn child. Her parents don't approve of the relationship, and Emily runs away. Cheyenne Cinnamon, teenage pop sensation, sees Emily's suffering, and rides in on her obese flying unicorn to "save" Emily. After bringing Emily to Sugar Town Candy Fudge, and taking a quick detour to Cocaine-O, the cocaine-spewing volcano, Cheyenne gives Emily some useless advice before sending her on her way.
The episode then fast-forwards a few years to show Emily, now a teenage mother of 5 or 6 infants, living with an apparently short-tempered man (who is not her former softball coach). Cheyenne rides in on her unicorn and whisks Emily away to Hollywood party. An intoxicated Cheyenne drops a cigarette in the eyes of her unicorn, causing it to crash to the ground. The crash leaves Emily unconscious. Gummi, Cheyenne's agent/manager, arrives on the scene questioning Cheyenne about how intoxicated she is. The episode ends as Gummi calls the police, not to report the accident, but to report the unicorn as stolen as to cover Cheyenne's tracks and frame Emily.
Neko Case as Cheyenne Cinnamon
Kristen Schaal as Emily

MF Doom as Big Chocolate Bunny

Broadcast History
The show was first seen as part of the Adult Swim in a Box DVD release in October 2009. The show was then entered into the Burger King Big, Über, Network Sampling online popularity contest along with seven other hopeful pilots. Cheyenne Cinnamon eventually won the contest and was given airtime on March 29, 2010. The show was under consideration for a series run, however nothing came from it.

Chicago man gets life in prison for killing 6 family members
A judge sentenced Diego Uribe Cruz to life in prison for the 2016 murder of six family members, including his 10-year-old and 13-year-old nephews, in their Gage Park bungalow on the city's Southwest Side.

CHICAGO — A judge on Monday sentenced a man to life in prison for killing six members of his family, including two young boys, inside their Chicago home in 2016.[1]
A jury last month found Diego Uribe Cruz guilty of six counts of first-degree murder in the slayings in the victims' bungalow in the Gage Park neighborhood on the city's Southwest Side.
During his trial, prosecutors alleged Uribe Cruz shot his aunt, 32-year-old Maria Martinez, after he tried to rob her on Feb. 4, 2016, before he fatally stabbed her sons, ages 10 and 13, and stabbed or beat to death other relatives to make sure there were no witnesses.
Evidence against Uribe Cruz included DNA recovered from under Martinez's fingernails and a small amount of blood that matched that of Uribe Cruz. Prosecutors also showed the jury a video in which Uribe Cruz confessed some of the details to Chicago police detectives.
Also, Uribe Cruz's former girlfriend, Jafeth Ramos, 25, testified against him. Ramos, who was originally charged with murder along with Uribe Cruz, testified as part of a plea deal that called for her to plead guilty to armed robbery and agree to cooperate with authorities.
Investigators said DNA tests linked Uribe Cruz to the crime. They said cellphone records also connected both Uribe Cruz and Ramos to the scene.
Ramos in her testimony described how Uribe Cruz methodically killed each victim. She's expected to be sentenced next month.
Uribe Cruz declined to give a statement before he was sentenced.
His attorneys said in court that they intend to appeal. They said during his trial he could not have killed all six people by himself. They suggested he was present when the family was killed in a robbery by four masked men.
