Wladislaw Walerjewitsch Otmachow (; * 29. Mai 1974 in Swerdlowsk, Russische SFSR) ist ein ehemaliger russischer Eishockeyspieler, der in seiner aktiven Zeit von 1992 bis 2011 unter anderem für Awtomobilist Jekaterinburg in der Kontinentalen Hockey-Liga gespielt hat. Seit seinem Karriereende arbeitet er als Eishockeytrainer.

Karriere
Wladislaw Otmachow begann seine Karriere als Eishockeyspieler in seiner Heimatstadt in der Nachwuchsabteilung von Junost Jekaterinburg. Von dort aus wechselte er zum Stadtnachbarn Awtomobilist Jekaterinburg, für dessen Profimannschaft er von 1992 bis 1995 in der Internationalen Hockey-Liga aktiv war. Zur Saison 1995/96 wechselte der Verteidiger zu dessen Ligarivalen ZSK WWS Samara. Anschließend kehrte er nach Jekaterinburg zurück. Mit seinem Verein, der in der Zwischenzeit seinen Namen in Spartak und anschließend Dinamo-Energija geändert hatte, spielte er fortan in der IHL-Nachfolgeliga Superliga, musste jedoch in der Saison 1997/98 mit seinem Team den Abstieg in die zweite Liga hinnehmen.

In der Saison 1998/99 gelang Otmachow mit Dinamo-Energija Jekaterinburg der direkte Wiederaufstieg in die Superliga. Von 2000 bis 2006 stand er bei Molot-Prikamje Perm unter Vertrag, wobei er in der Saison 2002/03 auch zu zwölf Einsätzen für den Zweitligisten Sputnik Nischni Tagil kam. Mit Perm spielte er überwiegend in der Superliga, einzig in der Saison 2003/04 trat er mit dem Verein in der zweitklassigen Wysschaja Liga an. Als Zweitligameister gelang ihm mit Molot-Prikamje jedoch der direkte Wiederaufstieg als Zweitligameister. Nach dem erneuten Abstieg in der Saison 2005/06, schloss er sich dem Zweitligisten Torpedo Nischni Nowgorod an. Mit Torpedo stieg er in der Saison 2006/07 auf Anhieb als Meister der Wysschaja Liga in die Superliga auf.

Zur Saison 2008/09 kehrte Otmachow in seine Heimatstadt zurück, wo er einen Vertrag beim Zweitligisten Awtomobilist Jekaterinburg, dem inoffiziellen Nachfolgeklub von Dinamo-Energija Jekaterinburg, erhielt. Nach dessen Aufnahme in die ein Jahr zuvor gegründete Kontinentale Hockey-Liga, stand Otmachow zwischen 2009 und 2011 in der KHL auf dem Eis, ehe er seine Karriere beendete.

Anschließend übernahm er den Cheftrainerposten bei Burewestnik Jekaterinburg aus der Perwaja Liga und betreute diese Mannschaft bis zum Saisonende 2011/12. Anschließend wurde er von Awtomobilist Jekaterinburg als Assistenztrainer verpflichtet. 2013 betreute er erneut Burewestnik Jekaterinburg.

Die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche Mönchhof steht in erhöhter Lage in der Gemeinde Mönchhof im Bezirk Neusiedl am See im Burgenland. Die Pfarrkirche hl. Magdalena – dem Stift Heiligenkreuz inkorporiert – gehört zum Dekanat Frauenkirchen in der Diözese Eisenstadt. Die Kirche steht unter .

Geschichte
Eine Vorgängerkirche, 1240 urkundlich erwähnt, wurde beim Türkenkrieg 1683 zerstört. Die Kirche war von 1595 bis 1636 eine Filiale der Pfarrkirche Podersdorf. Der barocke Neubau erfolgte von 1729 bis 1734 mit dem Maurermeister Karl Moispointner aus Mönchhof unter der Bauleitung von Elias Hügel aus Kaisersteinbruch. Die Steinmetzarbeiten schuf Jakob Gramaschy aus Winden am See. 1960 wurde eine Restaurierung vorgenommen, eine Generalrestaurierung des Kircheninneren von 1967 bis 1972.

Architektur
Der einheitliche Barockbau zeigt am quadratischen Untergeschoß an der Nordwestfassade das Wappen vom Stift Heiligenkreuz in Stuck, im Keilstein des Fensters die Jahresangabe 1734, und im Portalsturz die Inschrift Renov. 1960, 1972. Auf einem breiten Zwischensockel steht der gedrungene Fassadenturm mit anlaufenden Voluten und einem Zwiebelhelm. An das Langhaus schließt ein gleich breiter Chor mit einer Apsis mit geradem Schluss mit abgeschrägten Ecken an.

Ausstattung
Den Hochaltar schuf Elias Hügel (1739). Das Altarbild Büßende Magdalena malte Martino Altomonte, den Figurenschmuck gestaltete Giovanni Giuliani.

Hope and resilience in action: Navajo Nation continues battle against COVID
CHAD BRADLEY Cronkite News
A newer addition to the timeless landscape of the Navajo Nation is a series of turquoise signs along southbound U.S. 89 near Tuba City.
Sierra Alvarez, Cronkite News
Shaydreanna Jackson waits to receive a booster shot at the Tuba City Regional Health Care mobile medical unit. Her son, Koah, was getting the Pfizer vaccine for ages 5 to 11.
Clarissa Begay, referral coordinator and quality specialist for Tuba City Regional Health Care, says word got out about the hospital's mobile medical unit through social media posts, school flyers, text-message blasts and regular postings at chapter houses, convenience stores and schools on the Navajo Nation.
The Tuba City Regional Health Care mobile medical unit provides COVID-19 vaccines, flu shots, COVID-19 testing and more.
Joe Baca and his fiancee, Britney Laughter, flank Baca's son, Benicio, pose for a photo at their home in Tuba City. Although Laughter and Benicio could stay home during the pandemic, Joe was a frontline worker.
"It was a big scare at that time," Valentina Nez of Tonalea says, referring to the early days of the pandemic. She received a booster shot at the Tuba City Regional Health Care mobile medical unit.
TUBA CITY -- It's a familiar sight to anyone who knows the Navajo Nation: red sandstone, yellow-tinged sagebrush, a blue sky canopy that meets a protective ring of mountain peaks, with sheep and cattle dotting the fields.
A newer addition to the timeless landscape is a series of hand-lettered turquoise signs along southbound U.S. 89 near Tuba City. "Native people are resilient, resourceful, kind, and most of all hopeful," one says.
The messaging reflects how far the Navajo Nation has come in battling and recovering from COVID-19, and how it remains vigilant against a disease that has has taken the lives of 1,557 people on the Navajo Nation.
In mid-2020, the Navajo Nation had the highest per-capita infection rate of COVID-19 in the U.S. Although the infection rate remains high, tribal leaders continue to practice mitigation efforts while many parts of the U.S. have relaxed restrictions.
Reflecting on the pandemic
Residents of Tuba City, nearly 80 miles north of Flagstaff and one of the largest towns on the Navajo Nation, reflected on the past 21 months of dealing with the pandemic and experiencing loss and hardship while gaining a greater understanding of what "community" means.

"It was a big scare at that time," Valentina Nez of Tonalea said as she waited in her car to receive a booster shot at the Tuba City Regional Health Care mobile medical unit. "You don't know who has COVID, and you want to protect yourself, so you think about your family as well as your co-workers."
Nez, who has received two doses of the Moderna vaccine, was afraid of coming into contact with people who may have been infected, some of whom seemed to have little concern for their safety.
"It was definitely heartbreaking, knowing that there were a lot of people losing their lives to this virus, something we don't know anything about," she said, describing the effects it had to her social life and noting that she had removed herself from social media because it was damaging her mental health.
Shaydreanna Jackson said her brother died in July, although not from COVID-19. But the pandemic still affected her family.
"Not being able to have everyone – his close family friends and relatives – there was hard," she said. "Not being able to see everyone and for them to not be there for my sisters and I was hard."
Jackson was waiting to receive a booster shot and was accompanied by her son, Koah, who received the Pfizer vaccine for ages 5 to 11. He said it wasn't so bad, even though he's normally afraid of needles.
Although Jackson lives in Tuba City, she is Hualapai, who, along with the Havasupai people, live in and near the Grand Canyon, about 50 miles northeast of Kingman.
"We're already small as is, and we've had a lot of cases out there and it's taken quite a bit of our elders," Jackson said. "That's scary because our language already isn't spoken."
The Hualapai Tribe has had 206 positive cases overall, with a population of 1,621, according to data from the tribe's COVID-19 tracker.
To date, Arizona has reported 1.3 million cases of COVID-19, with more than 40,000 on the Navajo Nation, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Navajo Department of Health.
An incident command structure tent at the Tuba City Fairgrounds on the eastern end of town was erected to act as a potential overflow triage area for Tuba City Regional Health Care Corp., according to Joe Baca, health care social worker and counselor for the hospital, but it's now used as a staging area for distribution of groceries and other necessities.
Baca recalled the tent was an eyesore, with bright floodlights, imposing size and the steady churn of helicopters arriving and leaving. It initially stirred feelings of worry and fear among tribal members.
"I'm thinking, 'It's only a matter of time before that (tent) is filled up with people; what do we do then?'" Baca said. "A part of me was like, 'There's no end to this.'"
What was initially an ominous sight became a hub for distributing supplies for those who were unable to leave their homes for groceries, water and firewood, which is used extensively on the remote reservation.
Before the vaccines became available, Baca was afraid he wouldn't survive an infection. He feared for his and his family's safety and well-being.
His fiance, Britney; sister-in-law, Michelle; and his sons, Benicio and DeAndre, were able to remain home and attend school remotely, but Baca – who was heavily involved in community outreach and supply distribution – kept working.
"Early on in the distribution, it was so dire," he said. "I was so afraid we were going to run into somebody in their home setting, their hogan or their housing structure, and they were going to be gone. That was my worst fear: 'Maybe nobody got to them, nobody helped them, they got sick or they didn't have wood or basic food.' I'm glad to say we never ran into anything like that."
Sovereignty in treatment
Tuba City Regional Health Care's RV-size mobile medical clinic is parked on a small, vacant lot on the border of the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe it surrounds. It provides COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna boosters to adults and now shots for children as young as 5.
The clinic, which began operations in mid-2013 and services the communities around Tuba City, primarily provides such medical services as physicals, non-COVID-19 vaccines, some lab testing and pharmacy medications, and even physical exams for commercial drivers license candidates. Since regular health care operations at the hospital resumed in July, the clinic on average sees about 20 patients a day.
Tséhootsooí Medical Center in Fort Defiance also has a mobile medical unit that provides similar services to communities that lack transportation.
Shortly after the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines late last year, Tuba City Regional Health Care, along with other Indian Health Services hospitals across the Navajo Nation, conducted mass vaccine blitzes where hundreds of people, including entire families, were vaccinated.
As a result of such efforts, 59% of those living on the reservation have been fully vaccinated, the Navajo Department of Health reports. As of Dec. 13, 54% of Arizonans were fully vaccinated, according to the state Department of Health Services, as was 60.9% of the U.S. population overall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Advertisements and social media played a critical role in informing the Navajo Nation about vaccination events.
Clarissa Begay, referral coordinator and quality specialist for Tuba City Regional Health Care, said word got out through a combination of social media posts, school flyers, text-message blasts and regular postings about vaccination events at chapter houses, convenience stores and schools on the vast reservation.
Across the Navajo Nation, such additional measures as curfews and lockdowns, mask mandates, limits on occupancy in businesses and physical distancing were enforced to limit potential spread of the coronavirus. Except for curfews and lockdowns, most of those measures remain in effect and are adjusted according to the number of positive cases, as outlined in the Navajo Reopening plan.
The continuance of such measures is a stark contrast to the rest of Arizona's mitigation efforts, which have largely reverted to pre-pandemic conditions.
These efforts were possible because the Navajo Nation is sovereign. Although the tribe receives health care through the federal Indian Health Services, health care agencies on the reservation can contract with IHS or be wholly responsible for their own care under the Indian Self-Determination Education Assistance Act.
Tuba City Health Care, Tséhootsooí Medical Center and several others are "638 facilities" that have full control of their operations and health care.
Begay said this independence also provides financial independence, where grants and third-party insurance can be utilized. Such funds helped make possible the mobile health units at Tuba City and Fort Defiance.
The Navajo Nation has adhered to and followed the recommended guidelines suggested by the CDC and Food and Drug Administration as it pertains to COVID-19 and its mitigation and vaccine rollouts throughout the pandemic.
Weathered but hopeful
Nez, Jackson and Baca still display the optimism that got them through the past year and a half – despite the challenges and losses that nearly every Navajo experienced.
Baca's involvement with supply distribution and other community outreach efforts changed his perception of those who were infected. Once he saw their faces and heard their voices, his concern for them outweighed his fear of exposure to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
"It was easy to transition into being more empathetic toward them," Baca said. "We gave them a little bit of company – especially the elders, they missed that. The ones who were sick, too, I could see why they felt alienated and whatnot."
Nez encouraged others to get vaccinated and get informed if they're unsure.
"If there's a way we can make an impact with getting our vaccine, and that it's free, then why not?" Nez said. "We have so many elders and young children. It's a good thing. We're going to learn more about it, and the studies and statistics are going to show whether it's making an impact or not, and, if it's not, I'm sure they're going to fix it."
Two of Jackson's sisters are nurses, and through their experiences she saw the importance of being vaccinated.
"I can keep my family safe, because of COVID we've not been able to gather, as well as keeping my grandma safe," Jackson said. "(We're) making sure she's taken care of and that we don't spread it to her because grandparents are very important in Native culture."
The turquoise signs on U.S. 89 serve as a reminder of Indigenous sovereignty, strength and resilience but most importantly, hope. Hope that arrived in the form of vaccines.
"This is what we had been waiting for, it was a sign of hope, that dim light at the end of the tunnel," Baca said, adding that the pandemic "helped us grow in another way, we've become more self-aware, we have a different meaning of what family really is now."

Report; Bochy was White Sox's No. 2 choice if La Russa said no
/ by Josh Schrock
The Chicago White Sox stunned a lot of people Thursday when they hired 76-year-old Tony La Russa to be their next manager.
But had La Russa turned down the offer from White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, what would the South Siders have done? According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the White Sox had their eyes on another championship manager, but one who only has been out of baseball for one season: Bruce Bochy.
So, you wonder, who would the #WhiteSox have turned to if Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa, 76, had decided to stay retired?
Future Hall of Famer Bruce Bochy, 65, was next on their wish list.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) October 30, 2020
Bochy retired as Giants manager following the 2019 season. His Hall of Fame credentials have been well-documented and he left San Francisco as one of the most beloved sports figures in recent memory.
The White Sox reportedly didn't interview any other candidates beside La Russa, who Chicago had targeted since they fired Rick Renteria following the Sox's AL Wild Card Series loss to the A's.
Would Bochy have made the move to the South Side? The Giants legend admitted he was missing the game since hanging up his spikes.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it, especially watching the postseason," Bochy told KNBR. "It's exciting times. I could see it happening to be honest, but it's not something right now that I'm pushing. When you've been in the game as long as I have, and you've managed as long as I did, you're gonna miss it. Now especially with watching these postseason games.
"We'll see what happens."
RELATED: Will Giants be buyers or sellers during odd MLB free agency?
Bringing in La Russa was a shocking move by the White Sox for a number of reasons.
First of all, La Russa hasn't managed in nearly a decade. Secondly, he's been open about his anti-analytics beliefs, which don't fit with the current direction the game is heading. Most important of all is the expected clash of personalities between an old-school manager who would prefer players to put their head down and run to first base and a young White Sox team known for its personalities and bat flips.
Would Bochy have been a better option? He's only a year removed from the game and is more of a player's manager than La Russa. What about A.J. Hinch or Alex Cora? Any potential PR blowback might have been easier to stomach than a potential clubhouse clash between young stars and an old-school manager.
There's no telling if Bochy would have accepted the job, but it would have been worth the White Sox's time to interview more candidates, Bochy included, and see who best fit a club that is on the rise.
Instead, they went with their gut, which is exactly how La Russa manages and picked a Hall of Famer. Just maybe not the right one.

Sorting out the Mommy wars
On January 18, 2011 May 11, 2012 By aronsbarronIn Uncategorized
It's good to know that, when we're tired of the political vitriol and the rantings of Sarah Palin as she insists she is being "blood libeled," we can turn for sport to the most recent iteration of the mommy wars. For decades, this has referred to the debate between the virtues/shortcomings of working moms versus stay-at-home moms. But a new book by Yale law professor Amy Chua has unleashed the furies in a whole new way. Chua's new book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," was selectively excerpted a week ago in the Wall St. Journal.
Her basic thesis, the foundation on which she has raised her children, is that American parents are too permissive, too concerned about children's self esteem, too accepting of anything less than excellence. Her "tiger mother" approach is authoritarian and unyielding: no after-school sports, no sleepovers at friends' houses, drill and retest and drill again if a grade slips, threaten to destroy a beloved stuffed animal if the child's musical practicing doesn't yield perfection; scream; harass into compliance. You get the idea.
The excerpt produced the most prolific reader reaction ever experienced on the Journal online, more than 5700 reader responses. The Journal then published an opposing view in "defense of the guilty, ambivalent, preoccupied Western mom," a sampling of tons of letters on both sides of the debate about what constitutes good parenting, and a defense and qualification by Chua herself. There have been more than 100,000 comments on Facebook, articles in local papers, and a column this morning by no less than David Brooks entitled, "Amy Chua Is A Wimp."
Clearly the discussion tapped more than unease about whether we're raising our children the right way. Let's face it, the wisdom of the maturation process lets us know that, wherever we are on the authoritarian/permissive spectrum, we – and certainly our kids – will determine that we've done something wrong. But the intensity of this debate suggests it may be a proxy for our concerns about 21st century economic competition with China.
Some critics suggest that the harsh discipline of the Chinese emphasis on rote learning creates high achievers who perform well on tests but dampens the capacity for creativity. Brooks goes further and asserts that the skills a child achieves in sleepovers and other social interactions prepares children in "managing status rivalries, negotiating group dynamics, understanding social norms, navigating the distinctions between self and group." All these are important, he points out, because most people do work in groups.
And, while Brooks may well be writing tongue-in-cheek that "the school cafeteria is more demanding than the library," he still raises a valid point that, while learning "things" and getting good grades is very important, there are other ways by which to measure learning and fulfillment. Fostering innovation and creativity is a very American phenomenon, and it may not be a reach to look at how we're raising our kids to understand one reason why R & D happens in the United States, and manufacturing (the rote assembly-line jobs) have moved to China.
Most of us, concerned that our children's generation may be the first not to improve on the standard of living that we enjoy, would like to have it both ways: R&D and keep manufacturing at home, just as we want disciplined academic performers with well-rounded personalities, able to interact easily with others and at home as well in the worlds of sports and music. How to achieve that is a major challenge facing us as parents and as policy-makers. No doubt our uncertainty that we are doing the right thing just expresses in microcosm what our nation is grappling with as it interacts with China going forward. (Note the significance of Hu Jintao's visit to the White House this week.)
"Tiger Mother" is about much more than parenting. It should be seen as a logical successor to Chua's earlier provocative books, "World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability" and "Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance–and Why They Fall"

1. She is the first child of the '70s to take the role. Born on 1st October 1972, Morgan is 8 years younger than the average age of entry to the Education Secretary circuit which runs at 49.
2. Morgan was born in Kingston-Upon-Thames, making her the 10th Edu Sec to be born in a London Borough. (That's about a third of them).
3. So far, all Education Secretaries born after 1952 attended private school. Morgan is no different. She attended Surbiton High School an independent, Anglican school for girls aged 4-18.
4. At university, Morgan studied Jurisprudence. She is the fifth Conservative Edu Sec to do so, trailing Mark Carlisle, Keith Joseph, Ken Baker and Ken Clarke.
5. In another predictable twist, Morgan studied at Oxford. However, she is the first to come from St. Hugh's College, so at least that's novel. (You laugh, but more Edu Secs studied at Christ Church than comprehensives).
6. Her full name is Nicola Ann Morgan. She is the first female Edu Sec to be officially known by a shortened version of her first name.
7. Morgan has one child. The average for an Edu Sec is now 1.76. The most common number is still zero.
8. Though many Edu Secs studied law, few practised it. Morgan, however, worked as a Corporate Solicitor advising on mergers and acquisitions. This will likely do her some favours when dealing with the thorny legalities of academies.
9. Morgan's predecessor, Michael Gove, was in power for 1525 days – almost double the average for an Education Secretary. To match this longevity Morgan would need to still be in post on 16th September 2018.
10. Finally, 42 words and phrases rhyme with the word 'Morgan'. Start drafting your blog headlines now.
Point 6. 'Maggie' Thatcher was Education Secretary. Morgan and I were born on the same day, 4 years apart.
That's 1.5 more interesting facts to add to your list.
I pondered Maggie. But she was only called that by voters/tabloids. Her official government stuff was all 'Margaret' whereas Morgan is Nicky on hers. (e.g. Hansard).

Loujain al-Hathloul, Saudi women's rights campaigner, has case transferred to terror court
December 9, 2020 December 3, 2020 anpalnet
One of Saudi Arabia's most prominent women's rights campaigners, Loujain al-Hathloul, shook uncontrollably and spoke in an uncharacteristically faint voice during a rare court appearance this week, a family member said.
Loujain al-Hathloul's sister, Lina al-Hathloul, said by telephone from Berlin that the siblings' parents had witnessed the hearing in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday.
Loujain, 31, was told during the hearing that her case would be transferred to the country's Specialized Criminal Court, which deals with terrorism cases, Lina said. It was her sister's first court appearance since March last year, she added.
Lynn Maalouf, deputy regional director for the Middle East and North Africa at London-based rights campaigner Amnesty International, called the court transfer "a disturbing move." The Specialized Criminal Court was "notorious for issuing lengthy prison sentences following seriously flawed trials," she said in a statement.
"They're criminalizing activism," Lina said of Saudi authorities. "It's extremely stressful to never know what your own government can do to you."
Diplomats from a number of states were denied entry at the courthouse under the "pretext" of Covid-19 regulations, according to Amnesty.
Loujain, who rose to prominence when she advocated for women's right to drive, had been on hunger strike for two weeks since October 26, her sister said. She was among a dozen other female campaigners to be arrested in May 2018, just weeks before Saudi Arabia ended a decades-long ban on women driving.
Other dissidents, including cleric Salman al-Awda, who called on the country's rulers to be more responsive to the population's desires for reform, have also stood trial in the country's anti-terror court.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have said that at least three jailed women's rights activists, including Loujain, have been held in solitary confinement and subjected to abuse including electric shocks, flogging and sexual assault. Saudi Arabia has strenuously denied the allegations.
Officials have not made public the specific charges against Loujain, but last year the Saudi state news agency SPA, said Hathloul and other detained women were being charged with trying to undermine security, stability and national unity.
Earlier this month, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir told the BBC in an interview that the country had an independent judiciary and would "not allow people to lecture us."
"Loujain al-Hathloul was detained because of issues relating to national security, dealing with foreign entities, supporting entities hostile to Saudi Arabia — it has nothing to do with advocating for women's rights to drive," Al-Jubeir said.
"The courts will decide what her fate will be," he added.
The Gulf kingdom will likely face greater scrutiny over its human rights record following the election defeat of President Donald Trump, who cultivated a close relationship with de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS.
President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to "reassess" the U.S. relationship with the oil-rich nation and described Saudi as a "pariah" for its human rights record, signaling a firmer line.
Under the crown prince, Riyadh has undertaken bold social reforms including chipping away at the "guardianship" system that requires women to obtain a male relative's permission to travel and work outside the home. He also relaxed social rules for cinemas and curbed the powers of religious police.
But the reforms have been accompanied by crackdowns on political dissent and a protracted war in neighboring Yemen, fostering a major humanitarian crisis.
The murder of Saudi Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, slain in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, also horrified many around the world and tarnished the country's international standing.

Ps. sorry for the short post, but I feel little sick !!


The architectural style is gradually diversified, Waiyan form is also more rich and colorful, but European style including simple European style, in the field of architecture has been recommended, a very broad range of applications, and many people love.
Whether some special buildings such as the church or the eaves outside the house, the European style lines are the first choice of the architects from the level, the stereoscopic and the beautiful. Since the 90s of last century, the European line has gone through the stages of GRC cement components, carved stone components, concrete site pouring and EPS decoration components. Until now, various technologies still coexist.
At the same time, various materials and processes are leading each other. There are still some problems to be solved, such as high cost, long construction period and difficult construction.
The EPS decorative component has many advantages: simple processing, convenient and diverse molding, eliminating professional processing and installation personnel, and because of the lightweight characteristics of molded polystyrene board, it has higher safety, and at the same time, ensures the integrity of external wall insulation, and ensures energy saving effect.
But has many advantages in the above premise, if the other is large, the traditional approach is difficult to guarantee the EPS line under wind and snow loads, easily lead to rupture between the EPS decorative component itself breaks and EPS decorative elements and the wall, with some security risks, this is the problem we need to solve.
For other large or overhanging width EPS large decorative elements in the production process, embedded in the galvanized iron frame, in the installation process to anchor anchor stick combined with the skeleton, can withstand wind and snow load greatly, ensure the overall safety of EPS decoration members.
Through the above process, the security problem is solved and the safety of the people's life and property is guaranteed.


Why Dubai Needs Affordable Housing?
The debate about affordable housing has gained significant attention over the past few months in light of the rising cost of living especially since mid-2014. The World Expo 2020 bid win in November 2013 fed fresh impetus to the already escalating prices, pricing out small investors who had started to warm up to the idea of property ownership in Dubai.
There are a number of factors that make affordable housing a must for economies that have a growing young population. In the recent times, the idea of early home ownership has gained popularity implying that as soon as people enter their 30s they aspire to own a home (investment or owner occupation). Hence, affordability plays a key role to drive a young investor with negligible savings towards ownership. Expensive cities, hence, tend to distract skilled professionals with strong job and income potential elsewhere.
A second factor is absence of low cost housing will mean degradation in living conditions of over 90% of the UAE's population who fall in the category of low/mid-income group and are unable to keep up with the increased cost of living. High cost of housing, in turn, increases hiring costs for companies thereby affecting their profitability and potential to expand which will negatively impact the UAE's FDI attractiveness globally.
A third factor is that provision of low cost housing significantly increases the disposable incomes of low/mid-income households as that will be spent in purchasing goods and services in the local economy. Absence of affordable housing also weakens the competitive advantage of an expat driven economy like the UAE, as a significant proportion of the expat income's will be diverted towards investments back home rather than the country of residence/employment.
Until mid-2014, project launches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi were highly skewed toward high income groups. However, since then there have been a slew of affordable project launches mainly a result of tapered demand for luxury properties and an evident high demand for affordable housing. Government needs to incentivize affordable housing development by offering developers development incentives like height, density, floor area ratio bonuses and other fee waivers. For instance, a density bonus allows a developer density increases (number of units per square footage etc) over the maximum density allowed by right on a particular parcel of land.
New York's inclusionary housing program is a good example. Under the program, affordable housing developers are granted air rights that can be sold off to market rate developers who use these rights to build their buildings taller than originally permitted. This extra cash flow can be invested in fill in the funding issues that affordable projects often struggle with. Such incentive programs are economically more viable than a government intervention through quota restrictions.
The only way for rental properties to catch up with the affordable factor is through the rent caps that the government has put in place. These rental caps need to be aligned more realistically to the changes/growth in the median household incomes rather than solely on market forces.
Progressive rental schemes can be applied especially in affordable projects wherein the rentals increase gradually as tenant earnings increases until it is equivalent to the market rate rent. Also, development of mixed-income communities where a certain proportion of units are affordable with majority offered at market rates can help in creating sustainable projects. For instance, low income group provides a number of support services to middle and high income groups. By creating societies wherein the reach of both groups to each other is easy, greater efficiencies and cost effectiveness can be achieved.
Any sort of federal rent control to keep housing affordable or below market rate will be detrimental to the city's property market both in terms of volume and quality. Affordable rental housing schemes can be initiated to target specific income groups, offering rent to own schemes and enabling more people to own properties and hence contribute to the stability of the property market.
In the argument regarding affordable housing, some key questions need to be addressed. First is how to sustain the affordability of projects that are launched in the said segment over the long term. Discovery Gardens and International City are two such communities which were launched as non luxury affordable projects yet have ceased to be so as small investors were priced out of the market as sales prices gained momentum in 2013.
Another point that needs attention is defining affordability for the local UAE market and accordingly restricting affordable housing purchases to only those who actually make up the category. Also bulk buys by a single non-corporate investor should be limited. This will ensure that such housing is not misused to speculate or create an artificial supply shortage. This is similar to limited edition premium properties in Dubai that are offered to only select high net worth investors.
It's ironic. When properties were most affordable post recession, financing opportunities had figuratively dried out completely especially for low/mid-income group making home ownership not just distant but an impossible dream, and by the time economy improved and banks became less restrictive, property market had already edged beyond affordability for the said group. The mortgage cap revision and the hike in transaction fee in October 2013 was effective in alleviating the bubble conditions, but on the flip side it made property ownership difficult for long term small investors especially those in the mid-income group.
Let's look at the mathematics. A person with AED 12,000 monthly salary has been working in the UAE for about 2 years and wishes to buy a 1-Bedroom apartment in Discovery Gardens which averages AED 700,000 at present. Even if he saves 30% of his salary each month for 2 years, he will have accumulated only 40% of the total upfront payment required to buy the property which is considered affordable. Loan installments may work out to be lower than the existing rentals, but it fails to make a case that buying is better than renting since purchase is practically impossible.
Hence, mortgage regulations need a major revamp specifically for affordable housing projects to enable low/mid-income investors to own property in the UAE.
Being a firm with significant regional presence, we have developed an in-depth understanding of the complex issues that affordability housing schemes involve. Since we have a well-established network not just among the developers/contractors but also small and high net worth investors, we are able to comprehend the cost/supply side as well as the demand/price side with technical accuracy and efficiency. As investment advisors we provide an end-to-end solution, from in-depth and detailed market feasibility research and advisory, to devising optimal funding and cost optimization strategies, as well as assistance in property management post project completion.

Our managers recently participated in a top-notch interviewing workshop offered through The Stolp Group. This "nuts and bolts" training on hiring quality candidates will literally save us thousands of dollars, in would've otherwise resulted in poor hiring decisions. We should\'ve provided this training years ago.
The Stolp Group recognizes the true danger of the looming Employee Free Choice Act and offers imperative, just-in-time leader workshops for employers opting to remain union free.
The Stolp Group did a great job supporting our organization during a highly volatile termination. Sheri walked us through several innovative approaches which ultimately resulted in an overall successful parting of our manager and reduced company liability. This service provided us with exactly the right approach at exactly the right time.

Irish International Gives Terrifying Insight To Effects Of Concussion
The effects of consussion have forced Dominic Ryan to announce his retirement from rugby at the age of just 28. Ryan made one appearance for Ireland (vs Georgia in 2014) and played more than a hundred times for Leinster before joining Leicester Tigers last season.
Ryan confirmed his retirement in a piece in today's Irish Times, through which he profiled the disturbing ripples a concussion sent through his daily life. It is important reading, and can be found in full here.
In the piece, Ryan paints a pretty hellish image of the effects wrought on his daily life as he was stood down for 12 weeks to recover from concussion.
Ryan suffered his first injury of this nature when knocked out George North, and suffered another when knocked out cold in a game against Harlequins.. He was stood down for 12 weeks to recover, and as he neared the end of that time period, he returned to a weights session.
Let's allow Ryan to take up the story:
20 minutes after completing it I went out to watch the lads train and I started to get tunnel vision. My peripheral vision blurred and I got white patches that flashed.
It resembled looking at fireworks through binoculars. I could only see what was in front of me. I said to myself, 'Jesus Christ this is bad'. It brought on the worst migraine. I had had migraines before around concussions but only directly related to trauma.
This was the worst. I couldn't talk on the phone. I found people talking in my ear irritating. I remember going out for coffee with the lads, it wasn't even a sunny day and I had my sunglasses on. It sounds stupid but that little bit of extra darkness the sunglasses afforded me helped.
The full piece should be read in today's Irish Times.

Observing a "Black Day" today, the United Kashmir Peoples National Party (UKPNP) urged Pakistan to hold peaceful talks with India and withdraw its forces from Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and occupied Kashmir.
Observing a "Black Day" today, the United Kashmir Peoples National Party (UKPNP) urged Pakistan to hold peaceful talks with India and withdraw its forces from Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and occupied Kashmir. "Today is a very important day in the history of Kashmir as on 22 October 1947, Pakistan had sent its armed forces and Kabailis into Kashmir and had violated the standstill agreement. This day today is observed as black day," UKNP leader Zamil Masood told ANI.
"Today, our party, the United Kashmir People's National Party, its UK branch, Europe and all Kashmiris from Pakistan demand that Pakistan remove its forces from Gilgit-Baltistan and from Azad Kashmir and should hold peaceful table talks with India. They should take the initiative by ending the proxy war and speed up efforts to for the resolution of the Kashmir issue, because, a proxy war or any other kind of war is not the solution", he added. Masood said that it is the 21st century and Pakistan should give rights to people and keeping their problems in mind, and should hold peaceful talks with India. People in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) today are observing October 22 as a "Black Day" as it was on this day in 1947 that Pakistani Army disguised as tribal invaders had attacked the Princely undivided State of Jammu and Kashmir.
Kashmiris across POK are observing the day by demanding the immediate withdrawal of Pakistani forces from their territory. Echoing similar sentiments, another UKPNP leader, Aftab Khan said that they demand the international community especially, civil society of the region to use their influence on government of Pakistan to withdraw their armed forces from forcefully occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. "Pakistan is using so called Azad Kashmir for its strategic interest in Kashmir and it has barned fundamental human rights in its periphery like Gilgit- Baltistan.
With regards and respect to this day, we demand international community specially civil society of the retgion To use their influence on government of Pakistan to withdraw their armed forces, their intelligence agency network, and their non state actors stationing and getting training in so called Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan so that peace and prosperity can prevail in state of Jammu And Kashmir, " Khan said.
Another UKPNP leader Nazir Aziz Khan said that in compliance with the UN resolutions, it's the prime responsibility of Pakistan to withdrew its forces from all territory of the state of Jammu and Kashmir which it is illegally occupying. "We have been listening that Pakistan asking India to comply with UN resolution on Kashmir, but according to the UN resolutions on Kashmir, it is the prime responsibility of Pakistan to vacate all territory of the state of Jammu and Kashmir which it illegally occupied after the invasion of 22nd October 1947," he said.

Shuttle Politics: Houston v. NYC
NASA's Final Space Shuttle Mission: STS-135 is now history as the shuttle Atlantis lifted off July 8 on the final flight of the shuttle program for a 12-day mission to the International Space Station. NASA's official video of the final launch is available on its website at this link.
Earlier this year, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden announced the locations where the four shuttle orbiters will be displayed permanently at the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program. Among the locations was the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York designated as the new home of the Shuttle Enterprise. In 1985, the Enterprise was ferried from the Kennedy Space Center to Washington, DC and became the property of the Smithsonian Institution. The Enterprise was built as a test vehicle and was not equipped for space flight. For background on the Enterprise, see NASA's website.
After NASA's announcement, officials from Texas, home to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, questioned in a letter to NASA whether politics played a role in the decision. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) introduced HR 1536 "To provide for the disposition of the retiring Space Shuttles." The legislation would give the Johnson Space Center Shuttle Endeavour while the California Science Center, which was to get Endeavour, would instead get the Enterprise; the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Space Center would keep Discovery and Atlantis, respectively. The bill, now before the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, faces an uphill battle. Language in §603 of the NASA authorization bill (Pub. L. 111–267) on the dispostion of the space orbiters improves New York's chances, since it requests that NASA give preference to locations "with an historical relationship with either the launch, flight operations, or processing of the Space Shuttle orbiters or the retrieval of NASA manned space vehicles, or significant contributions to human space flight". The Intrepid was involved in the recovery of Mercury-Atlas 7 and Gemini 3.

Every couple of years I work on a small project, go to the store for batting, and stumble across fusible batting again. I remember vaguely that I don't like fusible batting but can't remember why. And, in theory, what could be easier for a small project?
Today I have been working on Son's Girlfriend's Christmas stocking and used fusible batting. It did not fuse to begin with and is awful for me (but perhaps not more talented quilters) to machine quilt. Maybe if I blog about it, I'll remember NOT to buy fusible batting again.
She knows I'm making a stocking. Please do not make me delete your comment; I don't get enough comments to be so cavalier.


Unlike many people at Cambridge, I don't really visit the libraries except to pick up the odd paper that I can't find off the web. I certainly don't work in libraries; the atmosphere feels intolerably stifling, as if you're being forced to work by the mere presence of dozens of your peers' eyes upon you. I need my own space. Plus, I don't like the fact that I can't listen to music in the library.
I'm not 'into' music in the traditional sense – I don't watch MTV, listen to the radio or know pretty much any of the songs in the Top 40. My mp3 collection grows slowly yet steadily based solely on the recommendations of friends and music that I hear from films. Still, I do have 1400 songs and the fact that I have an iPod speaks volumes about how seriously I take my listening experience.
So when Winamp 3 died on me after a Windows Update, I was understandably upset; how was I supposed to do anything at the computer without any music on now? But, I reflected, this presented an opportunity for me to get away from the tyranny of Winamp.
I've been a long time Winamp user – Winamp 2 served me well, and it did pretty much everything I wanted except for multiple playlists and a media library. Winamp 3 handily added those features, but the thing was (and still is) a huge, bloated and slow thing that just doesn't work properly; the Media Library does help organise music, but it's full of bugs. The player itself has actually had functionality removed from Winamp 2 for some unfathomable reason, and ever since I've been using Winamp 3 I've been a bit dissatisfied.
So instead of reinstalling Winamp 3, I deleted the offending piece of garbage from my computer and installed the latest version of Winamp 2. As I expected, it was extremely zippy and nice, but Winamp 3 had gotten me hooked on my Media Library and playlists, and Winamp 2, while good, just couldn't cut it. I'd have to look further afield.
I considered RealOne, Musicmatch and Windows Media Player 9.
RealOne isn't too bad; I have a friend in America who uses it religiously, and it seems to work well. However, it's a resource hog, it pops-up irritating adverts and windows occasionally and it just doesn't feel right. I've gone right off Real ever since they started using spyware and running unwanted programs in the background. So this wasn't an option.
I've never used Musicmatch before, and I haven't seen it in action either. I gather it's pretty good, although also a resource hog. It appears to have all the features I want, including a nice autoplaylist function. However, the full version costs $20, and of course I rather wouldn't pay for something that I could get for free.
(Question: Why isn't there a really decent open source MP3 player for Windows? This could really be a killer app).
Finally, there's Windows Media Player 9. This is most likely not the version of WMP you have on your computer right now – you have to manually upgrade. I have a mild conditioned aversion to using proprietary Windows software unless it can be avoided, since they are usually lacking in power and options; I expected the same from WMP 9.
To my utmost and pleasant surprise, WMP 9 is actually a really decent piece of work. It has all the features that I want and more (the autoplaylist function is the most advanced I've seen) and visually, it doesn't look bad. It takes up moderate resources, and the only problem that I can see with it is that it can't minimize to the system tray (thus eating up valuable screen real estate). Clearly WMP 9 was developed in response to Apple's iTunes 3, and I'd say that it's probably on par with it overall.
So I'm currently using WMP 9 for all of my music, and I would recommend it to anyone else who takes their music listening experience seriously and has a large library of mp3s.

In memory of Dr Rujaya Abhakorn, our beloved friend and champion for safeguarding heritage
In memory of Dr Rujaya Abhakorn, our beloved…
Dr Rujaya Abhakorn was a dear friend and colleague of UNESCO Bangkok. He was an eloquent and tireless champion for safeguarding and promoting cultural and documentary heritage across the Asian region.
Our close collaboration stems from his time as the Deputy Director of the SEAMEO Secretariat. He jointly initiated a number of activities with UNESCO's Regional Advisors for Culture and Communication and Information. In so doing, he helped bring to life the vision of Mom Luang Pin Malakul, former Minister of Education of Thailand, who had intentionally housed the SEAMEO Secretariat and UNESCO's regional bureau in the same building, with a view to encouraging collaboration between the likeminded organizations. Dr Rujaya exemplified this ethos of partnership, both through formal meetings and chance encounters in the hallways and cafeteria.
Upon the completion of his stint at the SEAMEO Secretariat, Dr Rujaya accepted to be the project advisor for UNESCO's project in reviving Buddhist arts, which spanned multiple countries and included various project sites in Thailand. Never one to shy away from hands-on engagement, Dr Rujaya actually moved to the project site in Nan province, embedding himself into the local network of culture advocates. As a Lanna expert and long-time professor at Chiang Mai University, he built up robust collaboration among key government, academic and sangha institutions. Under his overall guidance and his daily oversight, the project was a great success. To this day, the volumes produced on Nan Buddhist arts continue to be a valuable resource, while the young monks trained under the project have now taken on leadership roles in conserving the province's temple heritage. A new effort launched by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation in 2021 has recently referenced this project as a template.
When Dr Rujaya took the helm of SEAMEO-SPAFA, the cooperation in protecting cultural heritage broadened to take on a sub-regional dimension. His key initiatives, such as building capacity in disaster risk reduction, ensured that international priorities advanced by UNESCO and ICOMOS were localized to the South-East Asia context. With Myanmar opening up its international exchange on the cultural front, he supported Myanmar heritage practitioners and professionals to take part actively in various scholarly and training activities abroad. He also facilitated knowledge sharing, facilitating the involvement of SPAFA experts in helping to strengthen the protection of the country's new World Heritage sites, notably the Pyu Ancient Cities and Bagan. Such exchanges not only embodied the ASEAN spirit but also ensured that SPAFA served as a bridge between its member states and the larger global heritage community and international organizations such as UNESCO.
Documentary heritage was another passion of Dr Rujaya. He was a central figure in UNESCO's Memory of the World Asia Pacific Programme, from the very founding of the Memory of the World Committee for Asia and the Pacific (MOWCAP). In his capacity as MOWCAP Goodwill Patron he was a leading ambassador for the programme and an active mentor to many countries' efforts to set up national committees. He led the establishment of the regional register for documentary heritage, and served as Chair of the Register Subcommittee. He combined his rich scholarly knowledge as a respected Cornell-trained historian with his practical experience in managing archives and libraries, harking back to his days as director of the Chiang Mai University library and the instigator of an ambitious project to catalog and preserve palm leaf manuscripts. In Thailand, he played a leadership role in the National MOW Committee, personally taking charge of various initiatives, including the successful nomination of the epigraphic archives of Wat Pho.
Beyond his many professional achievements, colleagues and counterparts who had the good fortune to work with him have fond memories of Dr Rujaya as a friend and teacher. He never relinquished his role as 'ajahn', and even when engulfed with executive responsibilities in his later positions, still went out of his way to help young scholars and professionals, often personally editing their conference papers and scholarship applications. This generosity of spirit characterized the warm sense of camaraderie that he shared with colleagues both senior and junior. His dry sense of humor enlivened conversations and gatherings, and often spiced up the delivery of sharp insights spanning his wide range of interests. Friends from all corners of the world whom he met throughout his extensive travels have benefited from Dr Rujaya's wisdom and knowledge.
On behalf of the UNESCO family, I would like to close by paying tribute to Dr Rujaya Abhakorn, whose many contributions to safeguarding Asian heritage will be gratefully remembered and carried forward by all those who had a chance to know him.
