Another African Leader Kowtows to Beijing
Merlin Linehan
Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos is used to getting his own way.
In office since 1978 – displaying staying power topped only by Gaddaffi among Africa's big men – he recently demonstrated his omnipresence by putting his daughter in charge of the state-owned oil company Sonangol. This enormously powerful entity controls the nation's crude production, with notorious disregard for accounting and financial norms that serve only to enrich Dos Santos and the country's elite.
Given such blatant corruption and mismanagement, it was no surprise the Angolans balked when the International Monetary Fund began demanding as a precondition for further lending evidence of fiscal reform. In Luanda, this term roughly translates to greater scrutiny of government accounts and the opaque oil sector.
So Angola last month dramatically ended its ongoing talks with the IMF – scuppering a proposed $4.5 billion loan. Make no mistake: this is money that Angola badly needs. Government coffers have been depleted and the economy has faltered from the glory days of 12% annual growth amid the collapse of oil prices and longer-term failure to diversify away from its primary export and revenue earner.
Hitting the poor
The country at large is suffering. Inflation has taken off, reaching 31% last month. The kwanza has dropped by 35% against the dollar over the course of 2016 and even further on the black market. The government has taken an axe to the national budget – down by 53% last year, putting European austerity into perspective.
These cuts have hit the poorest hardest. Health and education budgets were among the first to be slashed. Funding for malaria medication has virtually disappeared; the deadly disease as a direct result has been in resurgence across Angola.
It's only thanks to attacks in the Niger Delta cutting Nigerian crude supplies that Angola briefly became sub-Saharan Africa's biggest oil supplier. Unless the price of fuel soars, Angola will very soon need to find an alternative source of finance.
Given few analysts are anticipating any such increase in oil, and the IMF isn't play ball with the Dos Santos regime, Angola has tried tapping the private sector, including loans from Standard Chartered and Gemcorp. It's also approached the South Koreans – but any funding is likely to prove paltry next to Angola's most tried and tested source: China.
Testing friendship
Since the end of Angola's civil war in 2002, China has become the main external influence on the country. Its state-owned banks have lent $20 billion, representing a quarter of all Chinese lending to Africa. Much of this money has gone into massive construction projects carried out by Chinese firms: roads, bridges and housing – all sorely needed after decades of civil war that left the country and its infrastructure shattered. The Chinese were applauded for their business-like attitude and ability to turn around construction quickly and to a high standard.
But more recently, the applause has turned into resentment. The Chinese don't offer enough quality jobs to locals, is the complaint echoing across Angola as it is the rest of Africa. Beijing's backing has also helped cement Dos Santos's grip on power.
From China's perspective, Angola is a key African ally as the second biggest supplier of crude after Saudi Arabia. But the relationship is being severely tested. Only last October, Angola received further loans from China and it's already asked for an extension on a now sizeable debt load.
Unlike the IMF, China doesn't demand conditions on transparency. But it's also unwilling to throw money at a country that has no means, in the short term at least, of paying it back.
And Beijing has been burnt elsewhere by countries dependent on natural resources. Venezuela owes $65 billion to China. The economic imperative of propping up oil-dependent regimes is fading fast.
Merlin Linehan has worked in development finance within Eastern Europe and Asia, and spends much of his time investigating the risks and opportunities that are created from the ongoing expansion of Chinese businesses that invest overseas in emerging markets.

Q: Is it possible to use UWP APIs in a WPF app? One example would be the new notification APIs for Windows 10 universal platform. Can I use this set of APIs in a WPF app? If so are there any limitations?
Links to documentation regarding this would be much appreciated.

A: No, You can't - at least for now -
But there's a progress on a project called "Centennial" Which will enable you to do so.
More see "bridges".

Yes, you can now.
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2017/01/25/calling-windows-10-apis-desktop-application/

A: It is possible to use UWP APIs in a WPF app. However not all UWP APIs can be used in a WPF app.

There are exceptions to the rule that Windows 10 APIs are accessible from PC software. The first big exception concerns XAML UI APIs. The XAML framework in UWP is different from the one in WPF and you really don't want to be mixing them up, anyways.
The second set of APIs that you can't use are ones that depend on an app's package identity. UWP apps have package identities while PC software does not. Package identity information can be found in the app manifest file.
How do you determine which Windows 10 APIs require a package identity and which do not? The easiest way is to refer to this MSDN topic.

For how to access the Windows 10 APIs from WPF, please refer to this answer and also see the blog Calling Windows 10 APIs From a Desktop Application (Please note the name of the references in the blog is not right, so I'd suggest you refer the answer in SO).

Print readers recall more than online readers
Readers abandoning print newspapers in favour of online news may want to consider the effect it's having. A study conducted by a researcher at the University of Houston (UH) finds those who read printed news publications read more news and also remember more news than those who read news online. "As the US public gets its news more from online newspapers and less from print, new questions have arisen about the differences of both reading experiences," said Arthur D Santana , an assistant...

Broad consensus that violent media increases child aggression
Most media researchers, parents and pediatricians agree that exposure to violent media can increase aggression in children , according to a new study. It found that 66 per cent of researchers, 67 per cent of parents and 90 per cent of pediatricians agree or strongly agree that violent video games can increase aggressive behaviour among children. Majorities of these groups also believe that children's aggressive behaviour can be fuelled by viewing violent video games, movies, TV programmes, and... MORE
TV news all over has significant gender imbalance
Women are severely underrepresented on international TV news and are frequently framed as victims as opposed to political leaders, business people, and other high-achieving public figures, according to new research from Media Tenor International. "Not only do women represent only 11 out of the 100 most visible people on international TV news," says Racheline Maltese, a researcher at Media Tenor, "these women only get 3 per cent of the news coverage, highlighting the gender imbalance on TV."...

In Australia, social media is damaging the art of conversation
Almost three in five people (57 per cent) in Australia are calling their family and friends less frequently since the rise of social media . According to a survey of more than 1,000 Australians, nearly four out of five (79 per cent) believe social media and technology are causing us to lose the art of conversation. Some two-thirds (63 per cent) say it's easier to text a friend or a loved one instead of calling for a chat. And, three out of five Australians (60 per cent) wish they received more... MORE
Digitisation disruption can impact $30 trillion in market cap
Enterprises around the world are preparing to enter the digital age, with over USD 30 trillion in market capitalisation across eight key verticals ready for disruption. The prediction comes from globalisation advisory and management consulting firm Zinnov, which in September launched its study 'Enterprise Digital Transformation-The next era is already here'. The study has identified the market size for digital transformation, areas that demonstrate high potential for digital transformation, and... MORE
One of the most vexing problems with the multilateral system is the chronic lack of broad public interaction that tends to characterise discussion and debate at the United Nations and elsewhere. While efforts at "stakeholder input" do irrefutably important work, they are rarely able to bring to the table truly broad public input — even when the issues under negotiation could eventually have wide and long-lasting impact. Part of the problem, certainly, is that the media at both the national and... MORE
Readers – at least in the UK and US – are feeling increasingly deceived over sponsored content. In fact, over one-third of British and American readers of online news say they have felt "disappointed or deceived" on realising subsequently that an article that they had just read had been paid for by an advertiser. This finding poses significant risk of damage to the reputation of digital publishers. According to a study that was conducted by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (... MORE
In Pakistan, ethnicity is a key indicator in predicting media credibility
In the complex media landscape of Pakistan, ethnicity has emerged as a key indicator in predicting media credibility. Researchers have concluded that in a scenario where ethnic composition is critical to national politics, minority ethnic groups tend to find domestic television to be less credible, and international television or traditional media to be more credible, than do members of the majority Punjabi group. Media reliance is a significant indicator of media credibility assessment—... MORE
US media failing to take on presidential candidates over climate denial
The US media is failing to question presidential candidates on their denial of climate change. Quite miserably. Seven major newspapers and wire services surveyed by not-for-profit research organisation Media Matters have failed to indicate that candidates' statements conflict with the scientific consensus on the issue in approximately 43 per cent of their coverage. In case of broadcast and cable networks, barring MSNBC, the figure stands at 75 per cent. And all this, while the presidential... MORE
Internet shutdowns and State violence go hand in hand in Syria
EFF has noted and protested when authorities deliberately cut off Internet access in times of unrest. As a restraint on the freedom of expression of those affected, communication blackouts during protests are unconscionable. But recent research by Anita Gohdes, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Mannheim, suggests that Internet shutdowns are becoming part of a toolkit for more violent repression. By analysing the daily documented killings by the government in the Syrian civil war in... MORE

MTM® is used for reducing iron, maganese and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies.
MTM® is a granular manganese dioxide filtering media used for reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water. Its active surface coating oxidizes and precipitates soluble iron and manganese. Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to a sulfur. The precipitates are filtered out in the granular bed and removed by backwashing.
MTM® consists of a light weight granular core with a coating of manganese dioxide. The coating provides an example of contact filtration where the media itself provides the oxidizing potential. This allows for a much broader range of operation than many other iron removal medias. A pH level as low as 6.2 can be treated. Dissolved oxygen is not essential. The media's light weight reduces backwash water requirements.
When the oxidizing power of MTM(r) is reduced, the bed has to be regenerated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate (KmnO4), thus restoring its oxidizing capacity. A regenerating solution of 1112 to 2 ounces (dry weight) of potassium permanganate per cubic foot is sufficient for normal regeneration. Upon start-up a new bed should be backwashed and caution taken to insure that the lightweight media is not backwashed to drain. A new bed should be regenerated the evening of installation. Operating the filter after its oxidizing capacity is exhausted will reduce its service life and may cause staining.
MTM® requires either intermittent or continuous regeneration to maintain its oxidizing capacity. A solution of potassium permanganate (or chlorine then potassium permanganate) can be pre-fed to maintain capacity. In the latter case, he manganese dioxide coating acts as a catalyst to enhance the oxidation reaction and as a buffer to reduce any excess potassium permanganate concentration and prevent it from entering the service lines.
Bulk Density: 27 lbs./cu. ft.
Backwash flow rate: 8-10 gpm per sq. ft.
Regenerant dosage: 1 ½-2 oz. of KMnO4 by weight per cu. ft.

DOOMED! The Untold Story of Roger Corman's THE FANTASTIC FOUR explores through extensive interviews with the cast and crew, the circumstances surrounding the legendary cult classic and "lost" Roger Corman film, THE FANTASTIC FOUR.
The big budget Fantastic Four film hit theaters back in 2005 but long before that there was another Fantastic Four film that began shooting. The problem is the film was never intended to be seen. What a strange story behind this Roger Corman produced film that was done for one million dollars. Now the Documentary, "Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four" is set for release. Director, Marty Langford does an amazing job telling the story of the making of the film and setting things straight as to why the film never saw the light of day.
The film features the stars, Jay Underwood who played Johnny Storm, Alex Hyde-White who played Reed Richards, Michael Bailey Smith who played Ben Grimm and Rebecca Staab who played Susan Storm. The film also has appearances by Corman and many other people that were involved in the film in one way or another.
By now everyone that wanted to see the film probably has because at some point bootleg copies of the movie began showing up at conventions and before anyone knew it the film was everywhere. In a way this was a good thing because fans got to see the film even if it wasn't the quality one might expect. I loved this documentary, it got my interest right from the start and I remained engaged all the way to the end. The story made me laugh at times but it also made me sad and even a bit angry for everyone involved in making the film under some very tough conditions. They all poured their hearts into making the best possible superhero film they possibly could on such a small budget.
As much as the film was a passion project for all involved this Documentary by Director, Marty Langford was as well and it too had a few things to overcome before getting released. Langford doesn't leave anything out. You can tell by watching the film that he was determined to tell the complete story. He did a fantastic job and he really did his research which really pays off.
I am not going to sit here and go into major behind the scene's details here so not to ruin the film for those wanting and waiting to see it. "Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four" will be released on 10/11/2016 and if you are a fan of the never released film that was actually better than the big budget film that followed then I highly recommend checking this out. I really enjoyed this film and I hope it plays a part in the movie getting an official release some day. Bravo to Director, Marty Langford and everyone else involved in setting the record straight.


This webpage will help residents of Wisconsin in understanding the costs associated with elderly care. The average cost of assisted living, in-home care, and adult day care throughout the state will be explored. Payment options and programs that provide financial assistance with the costs of senior care, whether it is in the home or in an assisted living facility, will also be covered.
While the programs covered on this page are inclusive of what the state of Wisconsin has to offer, it does not cover what is available on a national level. When seeking assistance with the cost of elderly care, it is important to consider all avenues of assistance. To help in your search for the best program for the given situation, make sure to use our free Resource Locator Tool.
As of 2018, the average monthly rate for assisted living throughout the state of Wisconsin is $4,004. This amount is nearly 10% greater than the national average of $3,670 / mo. However, there is one area where the cost is considerably less expensive, which is the area of La Crosse. Here, the average monthly cost for assisted living is $2,470. The following cities have costs nearly equivalent to the national monthly average of $3,670: Fond du Lac ($3,620 / mo.), Janesville ($3,620 / mo.), and Green Bay ($3,658 / mo.). The area of Eau Claire is slightly over the national monthly average at $3,777 / month. It can also be helpful to know the areas of the state where assisted living is the most costly, which includes Appleton ($4,429 / mo.), Oshkosh ($4,420 / mo.), Milwaukee ($4,295 / mo.), Wausau ($4,233 / mo.), and Sheboygan ($4,220 / mo.).
For those that require Alzheimer's care, often referred to as memory care, there is an additional monthly fee due to the increased need for supervision and security. On average, this type of care is an additional $870 - $1,270 / mo.
As with the cost of assisted living, the hourly cost of home care is over the national hourly average. As of 2018, the Wisconsin statewide average is $23.25, which is just over 10% more costly than the nationwide average of $20.75 / hr. Throughout the various regions of Wisconsin, the hourly price can fluctuate quite a bit, with the most affordable home care found in Fond du Lac ($19.75 / hr.), Green Bay ($19.75 / hr.), Eau Claire ($20.75 / hr.), and Appleton ($21.50 / hr.). The areas that have the most costly home care include Racine ($24.75 / hr.), Madison ($25 / hr.), and Sheboygan ($25.50 / hr.).
For those that require minimal medical assistance in the home, home health care is also available. This type of care, provided by medical professionals, generally costs between $1.75 and $2.75 more an hourly than home care.
Adult Day Care is a great alternative for those who require daytime supervision, as it offers a significantly more affordable option. In Wisconsin in 2018, the average daily rate is $68, which is just under the national average of $71 / day. The most affordable areas for adult day care in Wisconsin are Milwaukee ($65 / day), Appleton ($68 / day), Racine ($68 / day) and Fond du Lac ($70 / day). There are three areas of the state that have a daily rate that is significantly higher than the rest of the state: Green Bay ($81), Madison ($83), and La Crosse ($104).
Medicaid is a health insurance program for low-income individuals throughout the United States. This program was created by the Federal government, but allows each state to make its own rules and administer the program within a given parameter. Through the state Medicaid plan, nursing home care is covered for elderly and disabled individuals.
In-home personal care is also provided via the Medicaid State Plan and is known as the Medical Assistance Personal Care (MAPC) program. Via this program, assistance with daily activities is provided. This includes assistance with dressing, grooming, preparing meals, shopping for groceries, and laundry. Assistance can be provided in one's own home, a foster care home, or an assisted living facility.
Medicaid now also offers long-term care outside of nursing homes through Medicaid Waivers, often called Home and Community Based Services Waivers. Currently, the state of Wisconsin offers the following waivers.
The Community Options Program Waiver (COP-W) and the Community Integration Program II (CIP-II) are currently in the process of being phased out and transitioned into a managed care program called Family Care. It is expected that in June of 2018, the final remaining county, Adams, will transition into this new program.
These long-term managed care programs are intended to help seniors continue to live in their homes, with the goal of preventing premature nursing home placements. These programs offer Self-Directed Supports (SDS), which means individuals are able to self-direct their care, including hiring select family members as caregivers. Via these programs, a variety of supportive services are available and include adult day care, personal care assistance, durable medical equipment, home modifications, and personal emergency response systems. The main distinction between these two programs is the Family Care program focuses on non-medical personal care, while the Family Care Partnership program also encompasses prescription medication and medical assistance. For support information and eligibility information, click here.
This waiver provides long-term care supports to avoid and/or delay nursing home placement of elderly and disabled residents of Wisconsin. This program allows for consumer direction, enabling eligible applicants to self-direct their care. Together with a case manager, individuals come up with a care plan and a budget is allocated based on the plan. Through this program, family members can be hired to provide personal care services. Other supports via this wavier include specialized medical equipment, home modifications, adaptive aids, nursing services, among many others. For more information, click here.
In order for seniors to be eligible for long-term care Medicaid, they must have a functional need for care. In addition, there are also income and asset limitations. While eligibility requirements may vary between the state plan and Medicaid waivers, generally speaking, as of 2018, a single individual's monthly income cannot be in excess of $2,250. This amount is equivalent to 300% of the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR). The asset limit is set at $2,000. However, this does exclude certain assets, such as an individual's home, given it is valued under $858,000 and it is the main residence of the applicant. Other exempt assets include furniture in the house, personal items, an automobile, and burial plots.
Being over the income and / or asset limit(s) does not mean one cannot qualify for Medicaid. For those over the income limit, there is a medically needy pathway. This is basically a "spend down" program in which applicants with high medical bills relative to their income spend their "excess" income on medical expenses. Once one has spent their income down to the medically needy income limit, they are able to receive Medicaid services for the remainder of the "spend down" period. An option for those over the asset limit is to spend excess assets on non-countable assets. For instance, one can make home reparations, modifications, and additions, as well as pay off debt.
Applying for Medicaid can be particularly complicated if one is over the income and / or asset limit(s). It is also more complicated if the applicant is married with a healthy (non-applicant) spouse, as there are different rules that govern this situation. In both these instances, it is strongly recommended that one consult with a Medicaid planning professional for assistance prior to applying for Medicaid.
The state of Wisconsin has several non-Medicaid based programs offering services and financial assistance to seniors in need of long-term care and supports.
This program provides a monthly subsidy for those who require at least 40 hours of supportive services or in-home care. Benefits can be sought in the individual's home, a foster care home, or an assisted living facility. For additional information and eligibility requirements, click here.
Intended for those that require a nursing home level of care, but want to remain living at home, this program provides supports in order to avoid nursing home placement. This program is similar to the Wisconsin COP-Waiver program, but is specifically intended for those that are not on Medicaid. As with the COP-Waiver program, COP is currently being transitioned into the managed care program, Family Care. This transition is expected to be fully complete by June of 2018. Click here for more information.
This program offers support to those who have Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, as well as offers respite for family caregivers. Personal care, durable medical equipment, home modifications, transportation assistance, and adult day care are all benefits available via this program. To learn more, click here.
Via this program, seniors can purchase generic and brand name drugs with just a small co-payment. To participate in this program, there is a small annual fee. For additional information, click here.

Dramatic Yosemite Rescue
By Bill Johnson	 Published Jun 3, 2002 05:00 pm Updated Jan 31, 2009 05:27 pm
Yosemite National Park rangers have rescued an injured rock climber who spent the night stranded on a sheer granite wall. The climber, in his 30´s, was suspended at an elevation of 5,700-feet on Cathedral Rocks, across Yosemite Valley from El Capitan.
Park spokeswoman Deb Schweizer says park rangers rappelled by helicopter to the climber. Once he was stabilized, the climber was hoisted about 300-feet straight up the rock face to a spot where he was hooked to a hovering helicopter around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon and hauled to El Capitan Meadow. He was to be transported to the parks medical clinic for treatment.
The climber was injured from either a fall or was struck by a rock Sunday. She said there was a report of a rock slide, or fall, in the area at that same time. She did not have a report on the climber´s injures. The man´s name was not immediately available.
He spent the night on the wall after a search and rescue crew was unable to reach him late Sunday.
Other climbers on the valley floor noticed the man was in distress and called rangers for help.

Q: Ruby on rails Class being mistaken as a Constant First of all, I'm experimenting with Ruby on Rails for the first time.
I'm doing a simple exercise of designing a form to receive events information and save those events in Google Calendar.
To save the events on Google Calendar I'm using the following gem: http://googlecalendar.rubyforge.org/
I have the following code for the view.

Welcome to Ruby On Rails Calendar

Add Event

<form action="/google_calendar/create" method="post">

      Title	<input type="text" />

      Begin Date	<input type="date" name="begindate" id="bagindate" /><input type="time" name="beginhour"  id="beginhour" />

      End Date	<input type="date" name="enddate" id="enddate" /><input type="time" name="endhour" id="endhour" />

      Local	<input type="text" name="local" id="local" />

      Description	<input type="textarea" rows="10" name="description" id="description" />

     <input type="Submit" value="Save" />

</form>

<%= @result_message %>

And for the controller I have this code (mostly taken from the gem site I shared previously).
class GoogleCalendarController < ApplicationController

  def create
    send_event(params[:title],params[:begindate] + " " + params[:beginhour], params[:enddate] + " " + params[:endhour], params[:local], params[:description])

    @result_message = 'Event sent successfully'
    render :welcome => index
  end

  private def send_event(title, begin_datetime, end_datetime, local, description)
    require 'googlecalendar'

    google_calendar_service = GData.new
    google_calendar_service.login(Rails.configuration.google_calendar_email, Rails.configuration.google_calendar_password)
    event = { :title     => title,
              :content   => description,
              :where     => local,
              :startTime => begin_datetime,
              :endTime   => end_datetime}
    google_calendar_service.new_event(event)
  end
end

The thing is that when I try to save an event I get the following error.
uninitialized constant GoogleCalendarController::GData

Supposedly  GData is a class defined in the googlecalendar gem, but seems to not being recognized as such.
I have gem 'googlecalendar' on my Gemfile, did bundle install and it appears when I do bundle show googlecalendar.
Does anyone know what can be causing this?

A: The documentation is little bit wrong
try this
require 'googlecalendar'
google_calendar_service = Googlecalendar::GData.new

Since you didnot specify the namespace so first Ruby searched it in the ::global namespace and didnot find, so expected it to be GoogleCalendarController::GData

References
Code from the gem's lib/googlecalendar.rb, you can see the namespace is Googlecalendar
$:.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__)) unless
  $:.include?(File.dirname(__FILE__)) || $:.include?(File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)))

module Googlecalendar
  # List of lib files to include
  FILES = %w{calendar.rb dsl.rb event.rb gcalendar.rb gdata.rb ical.rb net.rb version.rb}
end

# Add all FILES as require
Googlecalendar::FILES.each { |f| require "googlecalendar/#{f}"}


Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of care . . .
If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to start the process of healing. By doing so, most if not all people feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-4 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
During the restoration care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury and promote a more whole you. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor once a week to once a month, based on your lifestyle and goals.

26 applicants for every London job
Posted on: 17 Apr 2013 | Tags: UK Invesments , UK Jobs , Work in UK ,
Competition for jobs eased slightly in recent months, but there is still an average of 18 applicants per vacancy, rising up to 38 per post in some industries in London, according to a new study. The number has dropped from 20 a year ago, although concerns remain that the UK faces a slow labor market recovery, said recruitment website totaljobs.com. The number of people chasing jobs varied across the country, ranging from 26 per post in London, to 11 in East Anglia and the South West, the research found. The number of jobs available has fallen by 0.4% compared to a year ago, said the report, and published ahead of the latest unemployment figures tomorrow. The capital has been particularly badly affected by falls in the number of available jobs in the media and marketing, while competition for jobs in restaurants, bars and hotels in London has remained "startlingly" high with an average of 38 applications per job. John Salt of totaljobs.com, said: "Along with its South Eastern hinterland, which itself reported a 3% fall in jobs this quarter, London has been the engine of growth for years and has avoided the worst of the recent economic difficulties. "So, whilst it is good to see improvements regionally, the fall in jobs in London is a cause for serious concern - and a possible indication of future jobs woes across the UK. "It is difficult to see where, in the medium term at least, we are going to get the substantial growth needed to provide the fillip the market needs. Profitable companies are wary of investing, whilst the Government is stalling any injection of capital expenditure necessary to boost job numbers."

Last week four HHRs journeyed south to the Carnethy 5 hill race. Arriving at Beeslack high school we registered in the main hall and then stressed for a while wondering if we had the right kit but a trip outside to the great Pete Bland sports stall took care off this.
Now that was sorted we all piled onto buses and were transported round to the start which is only about a ten minute journey.
Trying to keep warm was now the main focus and when the race started everyone was glad to just be moving. Due to a high turnout off runners( 498 in total) the start was a real battle trying to get a good pace going but you soon hit the first climb and everyone soon spreads out well.To the top off the first hill there was no problem underfoot but heading over the second and third conditions became tricky. Alot of snow and slush being churned up by hundreds of pairs of mudclaws made it slow going at times. The long descent from the fourth hill was a case off finding a good trod out the snow, not easy butwe were soon down and ready for the long and unforgiving climb up to the final summit. This is where you find out if youve overcooked it early on and I felt ok but there was some pretty sore looking figures all around. After the welcome sight of the cairn its a brilliant descent off the hill then across a cracking bog which definitely claimed a few runners then thats you done.
A great race but conditions were just against everyone.
The race was fought extremely hard at the front and was won by Orlando Edwards in a time of 51.27, he was chased hard by the always strong Finlay Wild who took second in 51.41 and exactly a minute later came 2011 winnier Tom Owens 52.41.
Highland times were Ross Bannerman first home in 1.04.57, Eilidh Raistrick 1.06.49 , Stuart Forrest 1.11.52 and super ultra runner John Moffat 1.17.42.
A good day out and a life saving meal at the end.

What Is Love? Baby Don't Hurt Me
Last weekend while I was getting a pedicure, my favorite nail salon was showing Baz Luhrman's remake of The Great Gatsby on their screens. Usually I try avoid watching their movie selections, which tend to involve poorly written love stories with faux-feisty blonde women, but this movie has more depth, and I couldn't help watching longer than my pedicure took, even though I saw the movie when it first came out in 2013.
In the book The Great Gatsby—whose publication has a great story of its own, in that it didn't become famous until long after Fitzgerald's death—Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) feels a mix of sympathy and admiration for the perpetually lost, mysteriously successful, and lonely Jay Gatsby, struggling for so many years to attain the dream of his one true love, Daisy. What Luhrman's rendition does so well is show another side to the Gatsby story. Perhaps Gatsby doesn't want Daisy—the true Daisy—at all. Perhaps he only wants a mirage of her. He only wants how she reflects him.
The scene that stood out to me the most as I watched, my feet under the dryers, women in massage chairs getting their toes painted, was when Gatsby has a party to impress Daisy and she brings her husband, Tom. By this time, Gatsby and Daisy have already spent several weeks together (we assume), falling back in love after a long separation. The two find each other outside, in the dark and shade, and dance while the party and lights continue further away.
"Let's just run away together," Daisy says. She seems like she means it. Give up the money, the status, all the trinkets and baubles they own and make a new life on their own terms.
"No, that's not possible," Gatsby replies. "Don't you see? We have to live here." Afterward, he insists that Daisy tell Tom she never loved him—he even wants her to say that exact phrase. (The poor woman isn't even supposed to speak for herself!) He wants her to leave Tom and move across the water to be with him in his mansion. On the surface, this might seem like a reasonable expectation, considering the two are in love. But underneath, it becomes clear (at least to me) that it's not Daisy at all that Gatsby loves—it's a vision for himself, the conquest of her. He will never be satisfied, even if he has her, because he is too interested in how he appears to the external world.
For me, this movie is less the story of Gatsby and more the story of Daisy, a woman in the 1920s who has to rely on a man for her success in her life, who is a prize for two men to battle over. Neither Gatsby nor Tom can feel a deep love for Daisy—instead, they associate objects or status with love, rather than honoring what's in her soul. In the end (spoiler alert!), it's no wonder that Daisy doesn't go with Gatsby and that she stays with her husband—her paramour is just another version of her husband anyway. And with Tom, there's at least the hope of raising her daughter to carry on a more positive legacy for the next generation.
Love, so ubiquitous, is unfortunately hard to define. It could be seen as a mix of attachment, obsession, infatuation, dependability, history, responsibility, willingness to sacrifice. It could be defined as a spirit that takes over two people, or in some cases, more. But what I do believe about real love is that it is about being able to look above your own wants and needs and giving priority to another person's soul, to their growth, to their development as a human, and hopefully receiving that in return. That's why, I think, people so often repeat the saying, "If you love somebody, set them free." You can love someone and not be with them; you could have let them go for good reasons. And you can be with someone for any number of reasons and not love them, too.
I think Daisy, in the film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, just wants to be loved for her soul—beyond her looks, her wealth, her status. She knows those things just turn to ash. But unfortunately, she's stuck in a world where men use women as trophies—where marriage and relationships are another pretty image, rather than a chance for elevation or consciousness.
May all of us be wary of a doomed love like hers.

Is there any difference in faith and love? I don't think so. Both require action. Both require stepping back, too. In both, there is a lot of floating. And then there is swimming toward. There is always, in the end, swimming toward. ❤🌹💋
Sometimes I write myself notes in my phone when I'm en route to somewhere and find them later and I'm like, Hey, that's helpful. Can anybody hear me? Just checking. #hashtag
I am making a playlist for my journey to Paris, all these songs that stir my heart. And one is from Flashdance, "What a Feeling." Man, I loved that movie. I so looked up to that character. She was tough and she danced like hell, and she was gorgeous and showed her shoulders, too. A warrior, ya know? When I was a little girl, that music and that movie really inspired me. Which is why I'm starting to write a book for girls. Because girls need some inspiration. We all do, really, but I know what it was like to be a girl, and I know what I needed to hear, and I know what it felt like to be moved by someone following her dream. Today I wrote on my blog about goodness. There are three components although there may be others that you can think of: safety, communication, and loyalty. And I was thinking a lot about MLK, too, and his strength and his ability to build a movement based on righteousness and instinct. Hey, you know something? I have so much love. It just pours out of me. I'm not sure if people know what to make of ladies who love as much as I do, but I wouldn't change it for the world, because the feeling I have inside is the feeling I think everybody wants, but they think it's going to come when they make a ton of money and have people worship them or something. But I have it now, without all that, and it's great. So this must be my version of success. What a feelin'. Here's believin'. I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life. Take your passion, y'all. And make it happen. #hashtag #danceyourlifeaway #hi

Anthony Borges is the lone victim from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting who remains hospitalized.
On Thursday, a spokesman from Broward Health Medical Center announced that his condition has been downgraded from Fair to Critical condition. Anthony struggles to survive as one of the true heroes from the shooting, having been shot five times as he barricaded a door.
In stark contrast has been the highly questionable actions of Broward Sheriff's Deputy Scot Peterson, who was on scene that Valentines Day, yet refused to enter the school and engage the shooter.
Peterson, the school's resource officer, has come under intense scrutiny for his actions, and he had released a statement through his lawyer that declared Peterson believed the gunfire had been taking place outside of the building.
This was said to justify his actions, as he was following department protocol by taking up his position. However the transcript from the radio transmissions between BSO deputies and neighboring Coral Springs Police Department reveals that Peterson in fact acknowledged shots from inside of Building 12, and he instructed other officers to not enter the building.
"Do not approach the 12 or 1300 building, stay at least 500 feet away," Peterson is heard announcing over the radio. As officers tried to determine where the gunfire was originating, Peterson informed those on scene they were "inside the 1200," referring to the Freshman building where the shooter entered and opened fire on students and faculty.
This completely undermines the Peterson defense, and may also explain why it was additional deputies took a perimeter position instead of entering the school.
The timelime established by this radio log shines a brighter light on the events and explains much of the frustration that has welled up in the aftermath of this atrocity.
2:19pm — The shooter arrives at the MSD campus via Uber.
2:21 — The shooter enters Building 12. (How he has gained access is not clear.) Seconds later he begins opening fire.
2:22 — The fire alarm is set off.
2:23 — Peterson: "I think we have shots fired, possible shots fired —1200 building." He then called for the building to be locked down, while he retained a position outside of Building 12.
2:32 — Coral Springs officers make the initial entrance into the building.
3:30 — After exiting the building the shooter walked due west to a Wal-Mart. He purchased a drink at a Subway located therein. He exits the store and walks south a few blocks into Coral Springs. He is eventually spotted and taken into custody by police.
This transcript underscores what many have been outraged about when learning of the events on the campus that day. BSO had a case officer on the scene, and had at least three other deputies arriving initially, leading to inaction. Neighboring Coral Springs police arrived and actually undertook the action of entering the school.
By this time the shooting had completed and the shooter had fled. There is no way to determine how this delay to engage the scene allowed the shooter the chance to flee, nor if this impacted the possibility to save any of the victims. But this dereliction of duty certainly invites these questions.
In the days following the event there seemed some tension between the two police agencies. CNN reported a Coral Springs city manager confronted Sheriff Scott Israel. Also, an internal email from the Coral Springs Police Chief detailed his thoughts as to how "another agency" framed itself as the primary responders and that his department, and that of CSFD, had not been recognized.
These logs should be the effective end to the career of Scot Peterson, as they illustrate his inaction and prove his desperate explanation is impotent. As for the BSO, and Sheriff Israel, they too have plenty to answer for, given it took over eleven minutes and a separate law enforcement agency to make the initial entrance into the shooting scene. The ramifications of those deputies not taking action need to be explored further, and extensively.


AMRITA is a Sanskrit word that stands for eternity. An omnipotent and bold word imbedded in the name and actions taken, and yet to be taken, by Cambodia's young contemporary dance company, AMRITA Performing Arts.
AMRITA Performing Arts is an international NGO based in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia, whose primary objective is to promote and sustain the revival and preservation of all forms of traditional Cambodian performing arts. Its emphasis is on national capacity building in production management and administration. Founded in July 2003 by Fred Frumberg, a former UNESCO Consultant, AMRITA has by far significantly contributed to transforming Cambodia's performing arts scene as part of a community driven process, which has proven this country's propensity for cultural regeneration.
An independent production company, AMRITA collaborates with various institutions and freelance artists in researching and producing professionally staged traditional and classical performances both in Cambodia and abroad, while developing and encouraging artists' expressive potential in contemporary theatre, dance and music through workshops, regional exchange programs and international tours.
According to Frumberg, a remarkable momentum has been achieved in the post war mission to revive and preserve Cambodia's great performing arts legacy. However, the young generation of performers are developing in very different ways as they become exposed to contemporary trends in a wide variety of cultures and confront their natural desire to innovate. The resulting works have been strongly rooted in the traditions of their classical training from both sides of the divide.
As Peter Chin, guest choreographer for AMRITA, expressed his views on the company's challenges, "Amrita has situated itself in the tricky place of "producing traditional and classical performances while developing and encouraging artists' expressive potential in contemporary theatre, dance and music". This duality of traditional and forward-looking often results in artists feeling conflicting loyalties both personally and aesthetically. As such, the focus of Amrita has been to help young Cambodians deal with sometimes sharply contradictory impulses. With Amrita's holistic mandate, it has nonetheless created a place where young artists are given opportunities to be grounded in their salvaged traditions, while providing experiences which encourage them to follow their impulses as developing artists. This way, they can progress towards manifesting the full potential as creative agents in Cambodia and the world in the 21st century.
Fred: That's exactly why. Eternity, meaning something that lives on forever despite any attempts to destroy it.
Vanini: Could you elaborate further on the vision statement – specifically that pertaining to "national capacity building in production management and administration"? Does this mean that the revival and preservation of all forms of traditional Cambodian performing arts lies heavily on developing strong cultural leaders/administrators?
Fred: When I first came, I had to find the right balance between what the Cambodian performing arts scene actually needed versus what I as a professional in production management had to offer to that process. What they needed was to restore lost forms of dance and theatre and replace lost repertory. My experience is in production management and I needed to focus on what I thought I could possibly leave behind. To that end, it was crucial that any help I gave in the artistic preservation process always included at least the most basic level of teaching all aspects of production and stage management even if it was indirectly through on-the-job training.
Vanini: If so, what are the odds for an independent organisation such as Amrita in developing cultural leaders to influence the way of thinking in a patrician culture that of Cambodia?
Fred: That's a different aspect and we're talking about two different things. Training in production management so that local practitioners can take responsibility for managing their productions is one element. In shifting towards contemporary dance and theatre, we are trying to give young artists the tools they need to make artistic choices that are based on real and current desires of artistic expressions; allowing them to forge a path forward to following their natural instincts as creative entities, while observing and respecting the traditions that have been resurrected by their teachers and for which they have a responsibility of carrying forward. To that end, they are balancing two very important objectives as they move forward as cultural leaders. I see it as our responsibility in the work that we produce, to help nurture both objectives at the same time.
Vanini: When you decided to establish Amrita in 2003, was funding already available?
Fred: Prior to that I was UN Volunteer with UNESCO. I had wanted to move away from them and set up my own independent organisation but I was victim to the fact that I had no funding for such an endeavour. The only reason that setting up Amrita was even possible was because I had secured funding from the Rockefeller Foundation otherwise it never would have been an option.
Vanini: Within a short period of its establishment, it appears that (from my perspective at least), that Amrita has fast-tracked its achievements both locally and internationally, how do you think you can sustain these accomplishments in the next five or ten years? Are you following specific measures for this?
Fred: This is the ultimate question keeping me up (literally) at nights. After five years, Rockefeller under new leadership is no longer funding culture in SE Asia, which means I have lost the primary source of our admin expenses. Funding projects is not actually my biggest concern but how to keep our office and dance studio open and support my small staff has become an enormous dilemma. I am in the process of bringing on three new board members with whom we are having an emergency meeting at the end of January during which I hope we will devise a new strategy to ensure the next five-year vision.
Vanini: You mentioned that in comparison to Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia – that Cambodian artists are more vulnerable to external influences particularly in the performing arts (due to the givens i.e. history) – how different is it?
Fred: This question stems from my little knowledge of the performing arts practice in Cambodia. Nonetheless, having a bit of exposure or communication with two of the dancers from Amrita namely Chey Chankethya (Kethya) and Chumvan Sodhachivy (Abelle) – who were participants in ASEF's "Pointe to Point" in Japan and Poland respectively– my impression is that they have such a solid classical background even though there are several external "contemporary" approaches that can potentially influence them. In fact, their form or dance language is rooted strongly from their tradition and may even be too predominant to be influenced.
I did not say that Cambodians are more vulnerable than their regional counterparts. I said they have less experience in contemporary dance than their counterparts in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. It is indeed as you say because of their strong roots in classical dance and their strong commitment to upholding the work of their masters in reviving the lost dance forms, that they are much better placed to create contemporary dance that is strongly rooted in their traditions. This was proven when we presented our new work "Khmeropédies" at the WDA conference in New Delhi a few weeks ago when everyone was hailing the piece as a very important example of Asian contemporary dance that remains true to its roots and not trying to "Asianize" Martha Graham.
The young generation of performers are developing in very different ways as they become exposed to contemporary trends in a wide variety of cultures and confront their natural desire to innovate. The result in dance is a growing community of young men and women who are excited and inspired by modern forms of dance and want to incorporate new ideas into their creative palette. They already possess the technical skills to make this transition into the more contemporary forms relatively easy.
These young dancers need and deserve a voice. While many are becoming bolder in challenging their teachers and working independently of the ministry of culture, Cambodia remains a patrician culture where cultural precepts are handed down and democracy has little part to play in cultural institutions. Young Cambodians look to foreigners and NGO's to assist them in transitions of this kind, as it's often foreigners who have the resources necessary to facilitate the process and to advocate successfully.
Amrita has become a major catalyst in helping these young artists find their voice and move their creative drive forward in a proactive, nurturing and culturally sensitive environment.

A look at states with easy and tough Medicaid nursing home benefit requirements suggests that program rules really do affect residents' retirement savings efforts.
Lina Walker, a researcher at the Congressional Budget Office, has presented an analysis supporting that conclusion in a CBO working paper.
Walker tried to assess the affects of access to Medicaid nursing home benefits on private savings by coming up with a theoretical model and comparing model predictions with actual results in states with loose eligibility rules and states with tough rules.
Private long term care insurers and producers long have argued that availability of government-sponsored benefits is discouraging many consumers who have the ability to pay for their own long term care from doing so.
The sources of the data needed to assess the effects of Medicaid nursing home benefits are incomplete, but a comparison of 3 "destination states" shows that retirement wealth is 33% lower for households in states where Medicaid nursing home benefits are easy to get, Walker estimates.
"The difference amounts to about $54,000 in retirement wealth," Walker writes.
But Walker notes that the difference is less than the average household's expected nursing home care costs.
In households that end up needing nursing home care, the typical nursing home care expense total is about $90,000, Walker writes.

The Cemetery Church of St. Helena in Nowy Sącz was built in 1686 on the old outskirts Chełmiec Polski.
Its founder was the abbess of the Convent of Poor Clares in Stary Sącz, Helena Marchocka. For its construction use was probably made of elements of a previous church from 1608 which was destroyed during the Swedish Deluge. Inside you can see a renaissance-baroque main altar with baroque paintings from the second half of the C17th (Madonna with Child, The Annunciation, St. Kinga and scenes from the life of the Clares of the Sącz convent); renaissance paintings from around 1580 (scenes of The Crucifixion and The Resurrection) and oil paintings from the C17th and C18th.
