The aim of this training is to understand more about neurodiversity and executive functions and how they impact on clutter
Purpose:-
This training is intended to explain neurodiversity and the role of executive functions in how we operate in our lives, particularly related to hoarding behaviours, chronic disorganisation and extreme clutter.
We will bring to life the reality of our strengths and weaknesses in terms of skills we need to manage our environment and daily lives and offer specific strategies that all can use to play to our strengths. Standard time management advice and organisation techniques often don't work for people with neurodiverse conditions.
Content:-
Session 1 – Understanding neurodiversity and executive functions
What is neurodiversity
Strengths and weaknesses
Hoarding, extreme clutter and chronic disorganisation
Session 2 - How to help
Strategies including case studies
Using your strengths
Questionnaire and analysis
Who is this for:-
Practitioners supporting those with neurodiverse conditions
Individuals who want to gain a better understanding
Duration:-
4 hours including a 30 minute break
NB: This and other workshops are available to be booked in-house at your organisation for up to 15 people to suit your requirements. Contact us at info@hoardingdisordersuk.org to enquire.
Hoarding Disorders UK is a not for profit Community Interest Company. Our aim is to provide practical hands-on support as well as expert advice to those affected by the varying levels of hoarding disorder, ranging from the chronically disorganised to those with extreme clutter.
We support both the individuals and their families throughout this process which helps them to reconnect with each other as a family unit and the wider local community.
We have a responsible and unique person-centered approach using professional decluttering, life skills and home organisational skills. We provide an ethical, sustainable and quality approach throughout our work which includes the use of our 8-step plan, support groups, coaching, research, education and training.
We also work collaboratively with other professionals and organisations in contact with these individuals and families.
Fibble is launching on 1st Feb 2021 and has been created to help people to understand their strengths and weaknesses in different areas of executive functioning.
We do this through the use of a questionnaire which delivers a report with guidance on how you can use your strengths to improve your life skills.
We also offer a package of 121 support in decluttering and coaching to help you improve both your environment physically and how you manage it day-to-day.
Jo Cooke (the nutter who loves clutter) is a Director of 'Hoarding Disorders UK – Community Interest Company' and also runs her own business 'Tapioca Tidy'. She is also the author of the book "Understanding Hoarding" which is fast becoming the "go to manual" for hoarders, their families and agencies that work with people exhibiting hoarding behaviours.
She has appeared in the Guardian newspaper, Take a Break magazine and other publications. She has also appeared a number of times on BBC Radio and in a BBC documentary 'Inside Out'. Jo was selected as a finalist for the Thames Valley Venus Awards' Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.
Jo is a professional declutterer and organiser who has a very professional, calm, non-judgemental and "makes sense" approach to helping you reclaim your space. Jo previously had a varied career in charitable organisations, human resources, project management, bookkeeping and the civil service, but realised she had a flair for decluttering and organising when she had to sell the family home that her father had lived in for more than 30 years. She has a wealth of experience and skills required when working in cluttered environments and takes a responsible and empathetic approach to the needs of people she works with.

Jo Cavalot (Dotty Jo) is also a Director of 'Hoarding Disorders UK – Community Interest Company' and also runs her own business 'Dottymow'.
Jo has been a declutterer and professional organiser since 2017 helping people to create, space, harmony and peace of mind by letting go of the things they no longer need. She is a member of the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO) and has quickly become a shining light in the world of decluttering in the South Yorkshire area.
Jo has struggled with her own demons in life and when she began to learn more about people affected by hoarding behaviours she realised that this was an area she really wanted to specialise in and approached Jo Cooke to begin the exciting process of taking Hoarding Disorders UK to the north.
Previously, Jo had a long career in the printing industry, working in a variety of roles from operations and production management to project director. She has a natural ability to create and implement systems and organise both people and their things. Through her own journey of recovery since 2012, Jo has found ways to overcome her own fears and emotional baggage from the past and has spent a great deal of time supporting others with their issues too. Jo understands that any problem with clutter tends to be about more than just the stuff and is empathetic and understanding in helping people to deal with this.
She is very connected to the local community and has appeared a number of times on BBC Radio Sheffield.

Sue Murphy is a qualified coach based near Sheffield and specialises in enabling people to fulfil their potential and overcome barriers.
She specifically enjoys working with people who are wired differently to what is considered "typical". People who are brilliant, bright, full of ideas and often utterly baffled because everyday tasks that "should" be easy seem so difficult (This is particularly true for people living with the talents and challenges that come with neurodiversity.)
Sue has worked for herself for the last 10 years after a long career in public services, all of which was about supporting people to make the most of their strengths and resources in one way or another.
She has always known that while she is bright, has great communication skills and a passion for tackling social and other inequalities, she is also clumsy, a bit messy and disorganised and easily distracted. This has been a problem for Sue and getting a diagnosis of dyspraxia when she was 62 was a game-changer.
In 2015 Sue qualified as a management coach and mentor and has been working in her coaching practice for the last four years or so and now specialises in working with people with neurodiverse conditions.

The large-scale canvas in an ironic manner demonstrates the epic of the endless absurd struggle between various characters. What is this story about, where the heroes who seem to have come from archaic rock paintings, are engaged in a fierce battle with modern analogues of Don Quixote windmills, and at the same time such recognizable attributes of post-Soviet Ukrainian poverty and scarcity – "Bogdan" shuttle buses and fast-food noodles "Mivina"? Maybe, it is a narration about the events of recent history when people on the Maidan struggled for the non-Soviet, European country. Or, perhaps, we are talking about Ukraine and her history in general, which, according to the accurate remark of a political figure and writer of the beginning of the twentieth century Volodymyr Vynnychenko, "cannot be read without bromine" because it is so sad and full of defeats of common sense. Or, maybe, it is a panoramic view on humanity on the whole where every hero will always have his anti-hero. After all, it is not clear who should be supported in this story eventually, who is right and who is guilty – the armed warlike ancestor or the package of harmful noodles, which has been saving thousands of Ukrainian students, pensioners and free artists from starvation for death for decades.
The terminator in modern culture is, above all, a mighty fierce cyborg, an alien from the post-apocalyptic 2029 that is so far-off at the time of the creation of the legendary film by James Cameron. Today, jokes about terminators are less funny because cyborgization is becoming a more possible scenario of human evolution to posthuman. But one should not forget that in astronomy the "terminator" is a line that separates the illuminated side of a celestial body from its dark side. Figuratively speaking, it is a guard that stands on the verge of light and darkness, good and evil, white and black or orange, as in the case of the APL315's work, and does not allow them to mix and destroy each other.

March 20 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's stock market dropped on Wednesday as its banks fell, while most major Gulf markets also slid, mirroring global cues ahead of a decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve on its interest rate plans for the year.
Major Gulf countries have their currencies pegged with the U.S. dollar and any decision by the Federal Reserve will directly impact currency performance of those countries.
Saudi's index fell 0.4 percent from the multi-year closing high it hit after entering FTSE Russell's emerging-market index on Monday.
Riyad Bank slipped 1.8 percent as the lender traded ex-dividend, while Saudi's largest lender National Commercial Bank shed 1 percent.
The kingdom's largest food products company Savola Group fell 1.6 percent after it swung to a full-year net loss. The firm said it had an exceptional expense of 100.7 million riyals in 2018 coming from a guarantee given to an associate's unit.
Qatar's index was down 0.4 percent.
Energy shipping and transport company Qatar Gas Transport (Nakilat) and telecommunications firm Ooredoo dropped 5 percent and 3.5 percent respectively. Both the firms are trading ex-dividend in this session.
In Dubai, the index decreased 0.4 percent pulled down by real estate shares. Blue-chip developer Emaar Properties shed 0.8 percent while its unit Emaar Malls fell 1.7 percent.
Emaar Malls proposed a cash dividend of 10 fils per share for 2018, unchanged from its dividend for 2017.

Q: How to scoll down a web element in selenium using java? I have a Javascript which is used to scroll the web element .
I want to convert it to selenium + java code.
I tried using java script executor but somehow I'm not able to get the desired result.
Here's the javascript that is working fine for me .
var x = window.content.document.getElementsByClassName("_PMgtb");
x[0].scrollTop += 100;

A: You can use the "org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions" class to move to an element:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.class("_PMgtb"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element);
actions.perform();

A: You could use
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement element = null;
element = (WebElement) js.executeScript("return document.getElementsByClassName("_PMgtb")[0];", element);
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollTop = arguments[1];",element, 100);

摘要: Novel Brassica napus cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) with carpelloid stamens (inap CMS) was produced by intertribal somatic hybridization with Isatis indigotica (Chinese woad), but its RF (restorer of fertility) gene(s) existed in one particular woad chromosome that was carried by one fertile monosomic alien addition line (MAAL) of rapeseed. Herein, the selfed progenies of this MAAL were extensively selected and analyzed to screen the rapeseed-type plants (2n = 38) with good male fertility and to produce their doubled haploid (DH) lines by microspore culture. From the investigation of fertility restoration in the F1 hybrids with inap CMS, one DH line (RF 39) was identified to adequately restore male fertility and likely carried one dominant RF gene. Specifically, this restorer produced brown pollen grains, similar to the woad and the MAAL, suggesting that this trait is closely linked with the RF gene(s) and serves as one phenotypic marker for the restorer. This restorer contained 38 chromosomes of rapeseed and no intact chromosomes of woad, but some DNA fragments of woad origin were detected at low frequency. This restorer was much improved for pollen and seed fertility and for low glucosinolate content. The successful breeding of the restorer for inap CMS rendered this new pollination control system feasible for rapeseed hybrid production.
摘要: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is the causal pathogen of sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) in canola, causing significant yield losses in this crop globally, when conditions are favourable. The pathogen can cause disease symptoms on canola through ascospore infection from carpogenically germinated sclerotia or by basal infection from myceliogenically germinated sclerotia. While infection through carpogenic germination in canola is the main mode of infection and well-studied, little is known about myceliogenic germination of sclerotia and subsequent basal infection of canola. This review describes the lifecycle of S. sclerotiorum on canola and presents an overview of the current knowledge of the factors that influence myceliogenic germination. These include factors such as sclerotium maturity, rind melanisation, temperature and moisture or a combination of these factors. Subsequently, the most likely avenues of S. sclerotiorum-based basal infection in canola are discussed and compared to basal infection in other host crops. We conclude that myceliogenic germination can be promoted by incubation of sclerotia at extreme temperatures followed by exposure to moisture. Future research to determine the prevalence of myceliogenic germination and subsequent basal infection of canola in the field is required.
摘要: Magnesium (Mg2+) is an essential element for plant growth. Its transport and homeostasis in plants is mainly maintained by the MRS2/MGT of Mg2+ transporters. Little is known about the MRS2/MGT gene family in Brassica napus L. (B. napus), one of the most important oil grains. In our present study, we identified 36 putative MRS2/MGT genes (BnMGTs) from B. napus and investigated their phylogeny, expression pattern and function. These BnMGT genes were sorted into five distinguished groups by the phylogenetic analysis, and they were clearly homologous with the MRS2/MGT genes in Arabidopsis and rice. Complementation assays using the Salmonella typhimurium mutant MM281 demonstrated that the BnMGT genes were capable of mediating Mg2+ uptake and transport, with varied affinities to Mg2+. The expression pattern analysis showed that the expression of BnMGTs were tissue-specific and varied in different tissues. This work provides the molecular basis to discover the function of BnMGT gene family in plant growth and development.
摘要: Dehydrins (DHNs) are plant specific cold and drought stress-responsive proteins that belong to late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein families. B. napus DHNs (BnDHNs) were computationally analyzed to establish gene regulatory- and protein-protein interaction networks. Promoter analyses suggested functionality of phytohormones in BnDHNs gene network. The relative expressions of some BnDHNs were analyzed using qRT-PCR in seedling leaves of both cold-tolerant (Zarfam) and -sensitive (Sari Gul) canola treated/untreated by cold. Our expression data were indicative of the importance of BnDHNs in cold tolerance in Zarfam. BnDHNs were classified into three classes according to the expression pattern. Moreover, expression of three BnDHN types, SKn (BnLEA10 and BnLEA18), YnKn (BnLEA90) and YnSKn (BnLEA104) were significantly high in the tolerant cultivar at 12 h of cold treatment. Our findings put forward the possibility of considering these genes as screening biomarker to determine cold-tolerant breeding lines; something that needs to be further corroborated. Furthermore, these genes may have some implications in developing such tolerant lines via transgenesis.
摘要: #1; Quantitative disease resistance, often influenced by environmental factors, is thought to be the result of DNA sequence variants segregating at multiple loci. However, heritable differences in DNA methylation, so-called transgenerational epigenetic variants, also could contribute to quantitative traits. Here, we tested this possibility using the well-characterized quantitative resistance of Arabidopsis to clubroot, a Brassica major disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae. #1; For that, we used the epigenetic recombinant inbred lines (epiRIL) derived from the cross ddm1-2×Col-0, which show extensive epigenetic variation but limited DNA sequence variation. Quantitative loci under epigenetic control (QTLepi) mapping was carried out on 123 epiRIL infected with P. brassicae and using various disease-related traits. #1; EpiRIL displayed a wide range of continuous phenotypic responses. Twenty QTLepi were detected across the five chromosomes, with a bona fide epigenetic origin for 16 of them. The effect of five QTLepi was dependent on temperature conditions. Six QTLepi co-localized with previously identified clubroot resistance genes and QTL in Arabidopsis. #1; Co-localization of clubroot resistance QTLepi with previously detected DNA-based QTL reveals a complex model in which a combination of allelic and epiallelic variations interacts with the environment to lead to variation in clubroot quantitative resistance.

Signature of Button Gwinnett, the forgotten man who signed the Declaration of Independence, emerges at Shropshire auction
"Button who?" When Shropshire documents consultant Ben Jones was told that an American client was considering selling the clipped signature of Button Gwinnett he reached for the search engine.
Roland Arkell
The clipped signature of Button Gwinnett that carries an estimate of £60,000-80,000 at Mullocks of Church Stretton on October 20.

He soon discovered that this 8 x 3.5cm clip of paper carried the name of a colonial politician who has entered collecting legend as the one signer of the Declaration of Independence who apparently left precious little paperwork to posterity.
The ultimate in American autograph collecting, it comes up for sale at Mullocks of Church Stretton, Shropshire on October 20 with an estimate of £60,000-80,000.
Much of the appeal in collecting the signatures of all 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia - better known as the signers of the Declaration of Independence - lies in the characters behind them. Not all of them were men of great deeds.
As 19th century philographers soon discovered, it was the largely forgotten political figures - many of them from the Southern states - that presented far great collecting challenges than those posed by the likes of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, who had lived long and written copiously.
Gwinnett's Duel
That the memorably-named Button Gwinnett (1735-1777) of Georgia met an abrupt and unexpected end is part of his fame. Returning directly to Savannah after signing the Declaration, this son of a Gloucestershire minister succumbed soon afterwards following wounds sustained in a duel with a political rival. Only 51 examples of his signature have survived - most of them attached to unspectacular documents such as mortgage deeds, receipts and debtor's notes rather than state affairs - and that defines the maximum number of full sets of the Signers that can theoretically exist.
When, in the early 20th century, collecting the Signers began a craze, a kind of mania emerged around Button Gwinnett. In 1924, at a time when a good Jefferson letter might bring $100-200, $14,000 was paid for a Gwinnett mortgage deed dated April 25, 1770.
A severe correction in the value of American historical manuscripts in general, and Gwinnett documents in particular, followed the stock market crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression.
The market for American historical autographs did not fully recover until the early 1970s, when the impeding Bicentennial once again generated interest in the Declaration signers among well-heeled collectors, dealers and museums.
The example of Gwinnett's signature at Mullocks first emerged in 1971. It was one of two copies of the signature discovered within a collection of mutilated documents by manuscripts dealer Ralph Newman. They are the last examples of Gwinnett's autograph to surface and are numbered 50 and 51 in the 'census' of his known signatures. As documented in an original typed letter that accompanies the lot, the vendor's father, a former president of the North Missouri Historical Society, bought it shortly afterwards in deal that exchanged a desk set belonging to Abraham Lincoln, letters written by the 16th President during his time in Illinois and $25,000 in cash. It has been on view in the archives of the historical society since 1993.
Who was Button Gwinnett?
Button Gwinnett was born in 1735 in the parish of Down Hatherley in Gloucestershire, the son of Reverend Samuel Gwinnett and his wife, Anne.
He started his career as a merchant in Wolverhampton but left for America in 1762, settling first in Charleston, South Carolina, and, by 1765, as a plantation owner in Georgia. He was elected to the Provincial Assembly in 1769 and voted in favour of independence, signing the famous parchment on August 2, 1776, and later penned the original draft of Georgia's first State Constitution in 1777 after becoming President of the Congress and commander-in-chief of Georgia's militia.
However, a bitter rivalry with chief political foe Lachlan McIntosh was to be his undoing. Following a failed invasion of British-controlled East Florida, McIntosh publicly called Gwinnett 'a scoundrel and lying rascal'. Gwinnett then challenged McIntosh to a duel, which they fought - exchanging pistol shots at 12 paces - on 16 May 1777.
Gwinnet died of his wounds three days later, aged 42.

Q: Clone a back and white image to wordpress When uploading to wordpress I want to save the image twice, once in black and white and once as its default. I have the following code which does this:
add_action('after_setup_theme','bw_images_size');
function bw_images_size() {
    add_image_size('themename-bw-image', get_option('thumbnail_size_w'), get_option('thumbnail_size_h'), false);
}

add_filter('wp_generate_attachment_metadata','themename_bw_filter');
function themename_bw_filter($meta) {
    $file = wp_upload_dir();
    $file = trailingslashit($file['path']).$meta['sizes']['themename-bw-image']['file'];
    list($orig_w, $orig_h, $orig_type) = @getimagesize($file);
    $image = wp_load_image($file);
    imagefilter($image, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);
    switch ($orig_type) {
        case IMAGETYPE_GIF:
            imagegif( $image, $file );
            break;
        case IMAGETYPE_PNG:
            imagepng( $image, $file );
            break;
        case IMAGETYPE_JPEG:
            imagejpeg( $image, $file );
            break;
    }
    return $meta;
}

The problem is that it saved a black and white version at the thumbnail size, but I want it to save it at the original size. I know this happens at the following line:
add_image_size('themename-bw-image', get_option('thumbnail_size_w'), get_option('thumbnail_size_h'), false);

But I dont know how to get the original size here. How can this be done?

A: The problem is that you are specifying the size of themename-bw-image to be the same as a thumbnail.
Instead, use a larger size, e.g.
add_image_size('themename-bw-image', get_option('large_size_w'), get_option('large_size_h'), false);

Pandemonium in Paris
Security Correspondent Dr Dave Sloggett explores the implications of the attacks in Paris:
There are those that believe somehow Friday 13th is a date that is one filled with foreboding. In Paris in 2015 that fiction became a reality. In a series of six attacks timed from 20:20 GMT to 23:20 GMT when French Police forced their way into the Bataclan theatre where hostages had been taken over 130 people were killed and nearly one hundred were left in what the French refer to as in a state of "absolute emergency". With such numbers it is almost inevitable that the total number of dead will rise. This was France's worst ever terrorist attack by some margin.
The sequence of attacks had emerged in a fast flowing and clearly planned initial situation. Within twenty minutes at five locations across Paris three suicide bombers had killed themselves and gunmen had opened attacks at two restaurants and bars. In that first twenty minutes seventeen people lay dead and eleven were seriously wounded. But this was just the aperitif. What was about to emerge was to create a denouement that would see the number of dead and injured climb swiftly towards five hundred in total.
This was not the end of the savagery. At 20:53 a suicide bomber detonates his vest outside Stade de France. He was the only casualty. The attack on the Bataclan concert hall at 20:40 was the centrepiece of the incident. As a rock concert was playing three individuals opened fire killing at least eighty-nine people and wounding many more. The scenes that have emerged of the theatre show a scene of utter carnage.
Within a matter of hours what was blindingly obvious was confirmed by a statement issued by the group known as Islamic State (IS). They had carried out the attacks. The fact that IS was behind the attack was not specifically difficult to grasp. Already it has been confirmed that all three suicide bombers used the same explosive (TATP), detonator and battery. Clearly there was a high degree of coordination in the planning of the operation. That is unlikely to have occurred in France. Chances are this epic attack was hatched in Syria.
That they could mount an operation of this sophistication however was shocking. In one fail swoop IS had catapulted themselves into the big league of terrorist attacks. That three teams of terrorists could coordinate their actions across Paris is a worrying development.
'Prepared for further aftershocks'
They had, in one single moment of violence, re-stated their claim to lead the international jihadist movement. Given their track record and history of violence this does not bode well for Western Europe and the emergency services of the United Kingdom.
As the French Prime Minister pointed out in the immediate aftermath of the attacks France "must be prepared for further aftershocks". Clearly the French Prime Minister does not believe this is an isolated incident. As far as terrorist attacks are concerned France has had a busy last year. Setting aside the attacks on Charlie Hebdo which saw seventeen people die in total the other attacks have involved a range of means including knives, firearms and cars. Many of these were carried out by a lone individual. The attacks were of a similar magnitude to that which occurred in Woolwich to Drummer Lee Rigby. He was killed by an initial attack by a car that disabled his ability to defend himself before he was quite literally hacked to death.
As if the attack in Paris was not bad enough in its own right. When see against the backdrop of the probable explosion on the Russian airliner and two suicide bombers dying in Beirut IS has demonstrated that it can carry out three complex attacks – across two continents – in a fortnight. This is a partial spectrum of terrorist attacks that only miss the use of improvised chemical weapons.
Al Qaeda has never been able to maintain such a tempo of attacks. A key reason why IS has gained in popularity at Al Qaeda's expense. With groups that were formerly loyal to Al Qaeda increasingly defecting to IS the events in Paris are likely to provide an additional impetus to their recruitment. The death total from all three events currently stands at 393. These events have certainty impressed the United Kingdom's Prime Minister David Cameron who noted that events in Paris show IS has an appetite for "mass casualty attacks". Clearly a major shift of focus has occurred in the tactics employed by IS. They are now parking their tanks on Al Qaeda's tactical lawn. One can only imagine the scale of horror that might be being planned in their evil and seditious minds.
These innovations in tactics have been directly encouraged from the centre of IS which uses a range of ways of communicating its wishes to its followers all over the world. Its' social media presence is considerable posting an estimated 100,000 tweets a day.
As Al Qaeda teeters on the edge of the abyss of irrelevance IS has become stronger than ever, demonstrating an ability to reach out into Europe and kill and injure hundreds of people. The time when the chaotic images of Paris are translated to a location in the United Kingdom cannot be far away. For the emergency services there are lessons to learn from what happened in France. With something close to an apocalypse rising on the horizon the time for learning such lessons is almost too short.

Ochoa Heads Home: El Paso Prelate Named to Fresno
A year to the week since Bishop John Steinbock's death at 73, this morning saw the Pope's pick of his successor at the helm of the million-member Fresno diocese... and something of a surprise choice at that.
After 15 years along West Texas' border with Mexico, Bishop Armando Ochoa is heading home. At Roman Noon, B16 named the 68 year-old LA native -- head of the 700,000-member El Paso church since 1996 -- to the Central Valley seat, the first suffragan appointment in California's southern province since Archbishop José Gomez took the reins of its metropolitan juggernaut in late February.
Born in Oxnard, a stone's throw from St John's Seminary, Ochoa was ordained a priest from the Camarillo house in 1970. In 1986, he was ordained an auxiliary of LA at 42, becoming just the second Hispanic prelate to serve in what's now the nation's largest local church, whose nearly 5 million Catholics are now led by a Latino supermajority that comprises close to 70 percent of its membership.
In El Paso, Ochoa became widely known for championing the church's priority of pastoral work with those affected by the realities of the border. Beyond the task's day-to-day ministry, to raise awareness of the plight on both sides of the chain-link fence dividing Mexico from the US, in 1999 the bishop instituted an annual Mass at the border (below) with a Mexican prelate and priests concelebrating on the other side.
Amid a recent sustained spike in violence in Mexico that's only increased a sense of urgency for many to make the risky journey across, this year's rite drew a congregation of some 500 along both sides of the fence. Given the increasing reality of detentions and deportations of migrants, the bishop's likewise added a Christmas liturgy for detainees (shown top) to his outreach to the undocumented.
While Ochoa's new charge lies some ways from California's southern passage, many of its issues little different from El Paso's. Once the Fresno church began estimating figures of undocumented immigrants in its Catholic population late in the last decade, the number zoomed past a million, more than doubling the size of the eight-county fold.
The same diocese where the the future Cardinal Roger Mahony first made his name as a migrant activist as a local priest and auxiliary bishop, Hispanic labor dominates the San Joaquin Valley's service and farming industries.
With today's appointment, Ochoa becomes the second Hispanic to head the Fresno church, and four of the LA province's six dioceses are now led by bishops of Latino roots. Likewise, the bishop is the third straight ordinary to leave El Paso for another see, following then-Bishop Patrick Flores, who would go on to become San Antonio's legendary archbishop following a very brief tenure (1978-9) along the border, and Bishop Raymundo Peña, who was sent from West Texas in 1995 to lead the now million-plus faithful of the Rio Grande Valley in Brownsville -- per capita, the most Catholic place in the country (85% of the area's total populace), with a majority of its fold younger than age 25.
In keeping with the norms of the canons, the prodigal Californian must take possession of his new post within two months.
Looking more broadly, Fresno is the first of three more SoCal dioceses set to change hands in the forseeable future; fresh off his $57 million purchase of Crystal Cathedral -- approved by Rome earlier this week -- Bishop Tod Brown of Orange reached the retirement age of 75 in mid-November... and, indeed, chatter of a coadjutor for San Diego in the wake of its abuse-induced bankruptcy filing and $200 million settlement of cases remains well in evidence.
With today's move, nine Stateside Latin dioceses (including, for the first time in two decades, a trio of metropolitan churches) remain vacant, with another seven sees led by bishops serving past 75. Notably, as one of the latter is Ochoa's prime confrere along the border -- New Mexico's Bishop Ricardo Ramirez CSB of Las Cruces -- the shape of a shift of B16's strategy in the region is well worth watching in the months ahead.
The next US prelate to reach the retirement age is Chicago's Cardinal Francis George OMI, whose walking papers will reach Rome in mid-January.

Hedge Fund Manager David Einhorn: 'Deception' Will 'Catch Up to Tesla'
Getty/Peter Parks
Lucas Nolan
In a letter to investors, hedge fund manager David Einhorn warned that he believes that Tesla's "deception" is going to catch up to the company soon.
In a letter to investors, David Einhorn, the manager of hedge fund Greenlight Capital, warned that investors should be very wary of Tesla stock. "Like Lehman [Brothers], we think the deception is about to catch up to TSLA," Einhorn said in a letter to investors this week. "Lehman threatened short sellers, refused to raise capital (it even bought back stock), and management publicly suggested it would go private. Months later, shareholders, creditors, employees and the global economy paid a big price when management's reckless behavior led to bankruptcy."
Einhorn stated his belief that Tesla is in many ways like Lehman Brothers, which attacked Einhorn when he revealed in May 2008 — a few months before Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy — that the firm was a risk to the financial system. Einhorn said that just like Lehman, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has "bluffed" about the company's current financial position. "There are many parallels to TSLA. In 2013, TSLA was on the brink of failure. … TSLA's cash reserves fell to a dangerously low level and CEO Elon Musk secretly and desperately tried to sell the company," he said. "Rather than communicating the truth to shareholders, Mr. Musk bluffed his way through the crisis."
Einhorn stated that Greenlight Capital's Tesla short was the second-biggest winner in the third quarter, he predicted that Tesla will report a "large revenue and earnings disappointment" in its fourth quarter. Despite burning through approximately $3.48 billion over the course of a year, Elon Musk hinted that Tesla may soon be profitable in recent emails to employees. In the emails, Musk instructed employees to "ignore the distractions" and said that the electric-car manufacturer is close to "proving naysayers wrong," something which Musk has appeared to become obsessed with doing in recent months.

The Hamas-Russia Connection
Posted on March 10, 2006 | Comments Off on The Hamas-Russia Connection
Russia's determination to undermine the U.S. policy in the Middle East may well weaken U.S. power. But opposing punitive sanctions for Iran at the U.N. and endorsing HAMAS is likely to cost Russia dearly.
On March 8, 2006, after discussing the Iran crisis with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov conveyed Russia's objections to sanctioning Iran, while warning that "there is no military solution to this crisis." Instead, he welcomed the European Union proposal to continue exploring diplomatic solutions with Iran, despite years of European-led negotiations that merely allowed Tehran to continue to develop its nuclear program. And nuclear weapons in Iran, are likely to pose a grave danger to Russia; much graver than to the U.S.
In a similar move, after visiting the State Department, Lavrov said that the HAMAS government should receive international funding because HAMAS chief Khaled Mashaal had assured him that the money would "be spent in a transparent manner." And Like Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas before him, Mashaal promised Lavrov to allow international monitors to ensure this.
It is not surprising, therefore, that Khaled Mashaal noted, "At the Russian Foreign Ministry we felt that we were being understood." Mashaal went on to praise Russia for breaking "the blockade which Israel and the United States have been trying to impose on us" and added that his visit to Russia "opened the door to the entire "global community."
HAMAS wants the international community to accept its goal to destroy Israel, which Mashaal reiterated on March 6, 2006 on Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya TV. "If they [Israel] want an all-out war – we are ready. If they want peace – let them acknowledge the rights of the Palestinian people and get out of our land." The demand to turn HAMAS into a mere political party is unrealistic, he said, elaborating on a February 13 Dream 2 TV interview, in which HAMAS deputy head and explained the "phased" approach to seek "an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty over the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza�" while unflinchingly insisting that "From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea belongs to the Palestinians …"
This is not only the HAMAS agenda; as evidenced by the large majority of Palestinians that elected HAMAS, they too, identify with this terrorist agenda. This should be reason enough for international leaders to avoid contact with the HAMAS Palestinian Authority government, which can only serve to legitimize this terror regime.
Russia, for now, is only talking with HAMAS, not funding the terrorist organization. But its accommodating stance sends exactly the wrong signal to other members of the international community, who are already opening their checkbooks. On March 7, 2006, the World Bank granted $42 million to the HAMAS-led PA. Lavrov expressed the apparent reasoning for the grant, in his Washington D.C. press conference, the same day, saying that HAMAS would "hopefully endorse the road map as drafted by the Quartet without any reservations." The World Bank grant followed [with] $143 million in emergency aid granted to the PA by the European Union on February 27, 2006. Clearly, the international donor community is willing to be duped again by yet another Palestinian leader.
Wasting no time, HAMAS on March 9, 2006, declared that Lavrov's hopes are utterly wrong. Hamas official Assad Farhat said that "Hamas rejects the Roadmap Plan," because it is a non-binding "American Zionist" plan. The HAMAS spokesman reiterated, "After Israel announces she will withdraw to pre-1967 boundaries, releases Palestinian prisoners, ceases attacks against the Palestinian people, and agrees to the Palestinian right of return, only them will Hamas enter into negotiations."
The international grants should have been avoided not only because HAMAS is a terrorist organization and proud of it, but because the exact same promises made by Mashaal's Palestinian predecessors helped to encourage and spread terrorism. Those past promises facilitated the disappearance of more than $10 billion in foreign aid into the coffers of corrupt Palestinian officials and funded all Palestinian terrorist organizations. That much had already been recognized even by the Palestinian people who voted HAMAS in, in part, to clean up the PA's corruption.
"The vast plunder of EU money by the Palestinian Authority has had much to do with the electoral success of HAMAS, stated Dr. Charles Tannock, a member of the European Parliament, on March 1, 2006. He added, "We would be showing that we have learned absolutely nothing if we sent so much as a penny to a Palestinian Authority led by HAMAS."
Yet, it seems that the EU and the World Bank are competing with Iran to fund the HAMAS led PA. Already, Iran has announced that "they would fulfill all financial needs of the Palestinian Authority." Thus, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was correct to repeat, on March 9, 2006 at a Senate hearing that "Iran is a central banker for terror."
Meanwhile, HAMAS is busily preparing for war. A HAMAS official, identified as Abu Huzeifa in an interview with Gaza City newspaper Dunia al-Watan, revealed that since Israel left the Gaza Strip, HAMAS has built training camps in all Palestinian cities. These camps are training new cadres of Jihadists. The basic training lasts a month, followed by three more months of advanced instructions in battle skills, endurance building, marksmanship, missile launching, commando fighting, hand-to-hand combat, crawling under fences and urban warfare.
The instructors are HAMAS members trained internationally, most likely in Lebanon, Syria and Iran. According to Abu Hufeiza, the HAMAS military production units are diligently developing new weapons, including rockets and advanced explosives. He emphasized that the al-Kassam Brigades will remain as HAMAS' military arm and will continue its struggle to liberate all Palestinian lands. According to the Dunia al-Watan reporter who accompanied Abu-Hufeiza to these training camps, each camp occupies over five acres, and accommodates dozens of trainees.
HAMAS coordinates its activities via an internal communications system known as SENAO, which is also used to alert thousands of loyalists of Israeli Air Force strikes. SENAO in addition conveys instructions on where and when to attack Israelis. Abu Hufaiza ended by warning Israel that if it tries to reconquer the Gaza Strip, it will face extraordinary resistance.
While HAMAS gets more organized and openly establishes itself in the territories, the Fatah terrorist arm, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, on March 1 also announced the start of a new military campaign against Israel: the Ababil Campaign – named after the legendary birds that dropped stones on the infidels. This new military campaign aims to launch 200 Kassam rockets at Israeli towns along the border. This is the so-called "moderate" Fatah, led by Mahmoud Abbas.
This is the same Abbas who allowed HAMAS to participate in the election in the first place, without demanding that they disarm and renounce terrorism. This is the Abbas who told al-Jazeera on March 2, "let us give it [HAMAS] a chance," and further offered that HAMAS should "proceed with any course or program you want." Moreover, Abbas agreed to transfer all the Palestinian security forces, excepting one intelligence unit, to HAMAS.
Even if international money supported only civilian and humanitarian projects, it would be equivalent to giving money to North Korea for humanitarian purposes – every dollar frees another to spend on its nuclear project.
Moreover, supporting the HAMAS led PA is also the same as supporting Al Qaeda. According to Dore Gold, al Qaeda "operations chief Abu Zubaydah entered the world of terrorism through HAMAS. And according to a 2004 FBI affidavit, al Qaeda recruited HAMAS members to conduct surveillance against potential targets in the United States.
Russia should know better since it suffers obvious susceptibility to domestic and international Islamic terrorism. Chechen terrorists have since 1991 committed more than 240 terror attacks, killing and wounding thousands of innocent Russian victims. Traditionally, Russia has quite understandably taken a hard-line stance against Chechen Islamic terror, presumably thanks partly to proven Chechen links and ideological affinity to Al Qaeda, and HAMAS. The Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies revealed last month that HAMAS supports the Chechen rebels in their battle for independence against the Russian regime and considers them part of the global Jihad.
All those factors make Russia's current HAMAS and Iran policies simply incomprehensible. It is difficult to understand why Russia would now simultaneously give succor to HAMAS terrorists and Iran's thuggish nuclear-club hopefuls. While Russia attempts to weaken U.S. influence in the region, doubtless these decisions will come back to bite Moscow sooner rather than later.

The refurbishment is due to be completed by the end of February.
Council leader Coun Bob Sleigh said: "Having spent £2.3million on this fantastic community facility in Solihull, we felt it was appropriate to give it a new name.
"I'm delighted to unveil The Core. The name reflects not only its location in the heart of Solihull town centre, but also its important role in the local community."
The voluntary organisations available at the Core will be Action for Blind People, Age UK, Aquarius, Citizen's Advice, Cole-bridge Trust for community and enterprise, Community Advice Hub, Relate and Solihull Borough Talking Newspapers Association.
Coun Karen Grinsell, cabinet member for stronger communities and partnerships, added: "The Core is a brilliant example of how Solihull Council is investing in the borough's libraries and culture.
"Once it is completed we will have a flagship community building fit for the 21st century.
"I hope the regulars will continue to enjoy visiting the building, and the more vibrant and modern feel will attract many new visitors and customers."
The Core will also house the new Encore café bar and there will be improved access for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

The Gaza Empire (1824–1895) was an African empire established by the powerful general Soshangane and was located in southeastern Africa in the area of southern Mozambique and southeastern Zimbabwe, as well as parts of South Africa (sections of Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces). The Gaza Empire, at its height in the 1860s, covered all of Mozambique between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers.
In the 1820s, during a period of severe drought, after the abolition of slavery caused the Great Trek, Nguni armies, Southern (Xhosa) and especially Northern Nguni (Zulu, Swazi, Shangani, Gaza, Matabele or Ndebele, and Ngoni) people who speak related Bantu languages and inhabit southeast Africa from Cape Province to southern Mozambique, began to migrate to Mozambique from what is now South Africa. One Nguni chief, Nxaba, established a short-lived kingdom inland from Sofala, but in 1837 he was defeated by Soshangane, a powerful Nguni rival. Eventually Soshangane established his capital in the highlands of the middle Sabi River in what is present day Zimbabwe. Soshangane named his empire "Gaza" after his grandfather.

Unsecured loans are offered without any collateral. This implies that a borrower will not have to part with rights on home or any asset for availing the loan proceeds. There are two categories of people who use unsecured loans. Firstly, there are tenants and non-homeowners who use unsecured loans out of necessity. The second group is of homeowners who have lately joined the users of unsecured loans.
Homeowners traditionally were the customers of secured loans. Through secured loans, these borrowers were able to get hold of excellent deals, complete with a low rate of interest and easy repayment options. However, the apprehension regarding repossession of home was not to be shrouded under the attractive features. Though this has been accepted as no more than a myth, many of the regular customers of secured loans were dispersed as a result of this. These customers opted for unsecured loans.
Unsecured loan providers do not get a direct stake on any asset. Even if borrower fails to pay the loan amount in full, loan provider cannot undertake direct action to recover unpaid amount. Compare this to secured loans, and you find the lender misses no time to liquidate asset in his possession. One only gets a little extra time when using unsecured loans. Beyond that even unsecured loan providers are going to initiate legal proceedings to recover the amount. Therefore, unsecured personal loans must be taken as seriously, as one would a secured loan.
Unsecured loans are advanced in the range of £1,000 to £25,000. The sum is relatively low in contrast with sum lent in secured loans. That is why unsecured loans are best used when the expenses involve lesser amount. Minor home improvements, debt consolidation or footing holiday bills form the most common uses of the unsecured loan proceeds. Unsecured loans are very adaptable to all kinds of personal purposes.
For raising an unsecured loan, the borrower must preferably have a good credit history. This loan is lent against personal credibility of the borrower in the absence of collateral. A borrower with bad credit can face difficulty in qualifying through high street lenders. For brokers, however, this is an easy task. A broker is a mediator between banks and borrowers. When broker approaches banks with the application of the borrower, they get a better response. Banks know that brokers may have undertaken tests of credibility; therefore, they lend to the applicant.
When borrowing through unsecured loans, borrowers particularly feel the pinch on the clause of APR. APR or the rate of interest is generally higher in unsecured loans. The higher risk involved is to be blamed for the increased APR. Increased APR is inevitable and therefore reasonable. However, the premium over the reasonable APR that borrower have to shell is evitable. Borrowers can do two things in order to avoid paying unreasonable rates.
Firstly, they must be up-to-date on the prevailing rates, lowest rates, rates according to credit circumstances and the different interest options in the UK. Secondly, borrower must accept the fact that it is not difficult to get good deals. Proper research is what is required to achieve these. Research nowadays is easier, thanks to the massive resources on the web. A person can view several loan providers' products and gain important information about them; all for free and in a small span of time.
Nowadays, borrowers' application is received through the online mode. Loan providers have thus made the process of raising cash convenient for borrowers. It has also been convenient for loan providers, as they do not have to directly deal with the customer traffic. Learn more details at this link.
Unsecured loans have to be repaid between 5 to 25 years. Borrowers generally enjoy discretion on the method of repayment. The monthly or quarterly repayment method scores over other methods in the sense that the loan is successfully repaid and borrower is not over-burdened.

Global Medalists Headline 3000m Field For New Balance Indoor Grand Prix
A very strong field has been assembled for the women's 3000 meters at the 2017 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, organizers announced today.
By World Track | Published on January 23, 2017
BOSTON, Mass. – IAAF World Indoor Champions Sifan Hassan and Hellen Obiri and World Indoor medalists Dawit Seyaum and Shannon Rowbury—who also holds American records at 1500 and 5000 meters—are set for what is likely to be the most hotly contested 3000 meters in the 22-year history of the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, organizers announced today.
The New Balance Indoor Grand Prix kicks off at 3:20 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center at Roxbury Community College, and is the only U.S. stop on the IAAF World Indoor Tour.
The series of five international events begins in Boston and awards overall winners $20,000 and a guaranteed spot at next year's IAAF World Indoor Championships.
In what could be the most competitive race of the evening, four of the world's best middle distance runners will clash. Hassan, 24, of the Netherlands, is the reigning World Indoor Champion at 1500 meters and finished fifth in Rio, while Obiri, 27, of Kenya, is the 2012 World Indoor Champion at 3000 meters and the reigning Olympic silver medalist at 5000 meters.
Seyaum, 20, of Ethiopia, won the 2016 World Indoor silver medal behind Hassan, while Rowbury, 32, took bronze at 3000 meters. Rowbury, who finished fourth in Rio, was also the outdoor World Championships bronze medalist at 1500 meters in 2009.
Adding even-more luster to the meet will be U.S. hurdles phenom Sydney McLaughlin, who will run the 400-meter leg for the USA All-Star Distance Medley Relay team that includes the previously announced 2016 Olympic bronze medalists Jenny Simpson and Emma Coburn, as well as 2013 IAAF World Championships bronze medalist Brenda Martinez.
McLaughlin, 17, finished third in the 400m hurdles at last year's Olympic Trials where her time of 54.15 set new age-group world records in both the Under-20 and Under-18 categories. In Rio, McLaughlin was the youngest athlete to qualify for the semifinals in any track and field event. Still competing for her New Jersey high school team, McLaughlin earlier this month ran the second-fastest high school 300 meters indoors in history.
The squad should put the World Record of 10:42.57, set here two years ago, under serious threat.
Also joining the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix lineup is 17-year-old high school star Sammy Watson, who will compete at 800 meters against, among others, 2015 World Champion Marina Arzamasova of Belarus.
Last year here, Watson finished as runner-up in the Junior Mile, and went on to win gold medals at both 800 meters and as a member of the USA's 4×400-meter relay team at the IAAF World U20 Championships. Just last weekend, Watson ran 1:28.67 to set a new national high school record in the 600 meters.
Now in its 22nd year, the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix has played host to eight World Records and 14 American Records and will be held on Saturday, Jan. 28, beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Reduce the costly and time-consuming mistake of hiring the wrong people.
Prepare so thoroughly that you'll hardly ever feel worried about interviewing candidates.
Know exactly what questions to ask - and have so many questions you'll never run out.
Reduce the number of questions to only those that can best help you make a decision.
Do the necessary routine checks so candidates being "economical with the truth" won't catch you out.
Examine curriculum vitae, covering letters and reference letters to see if there are any inconsistencies or worrying issues.
Create an informal interview setting so that people open up and tell you more about themselves - their worries, likes, dislikes and attitudes.
Ensure that all candidates (successful and unsuccessful) gain the best perception of you and your organisation.
Get absolutely clear in your own mind what the new person has to do to succeed in the job.
Ensure the job advertisement makes clear what that job entails - if you don't you'll waste time sifting irrelevant applications.
Find at least five things about the job that may hinder or challenge the new employee and do what you can to remove the hindrances in advance.
Devise meaningful questions - each one should test for something very specific - especially how candidates will deal with the difficulties of the job.
Analyse the curriculum vitae (CV) with a fine toothcomb. Check up on qualifications, previous places of employment and dates that don't tie up. Note: in some countries the CV is called a resume. In the workshop we'll stick to CV to reduce repetition.
Check each reference by telephone - actually speak to the referee.
Learn to read between the lines in references - sometimes referees use coded language because they want to be honest but don't want to be blunt.
Prepare for the interview - in detail. Work out every question and who will ask each one. Think about an appropriate venue and the length of the interview.
Make the interview as informal as possible. People will tell you more about themselves and their real likes and dislikes if they are relaxed.
Avoid silly games and pseudo-science. Handwriting analysis and psychological tests, and keeping candidates up all night will not only waste your time - they'll lose you good candidates.
As you probably know there's more to brilliant recruiting than just asking questions. Preparation is all and there are certain vital steps that if missed out will lead to serious mistakes. That's where this Brilliant Recruiting workshop comes in. It will build your confidence. You'll know exactly what questions to ask and how to ask them so that you select the best person for the job.
Have some fun trying the free taster exercise and at the same time see how you can improve your recruitment interviewing!
