Draft changes to UIF regulations bring fairness for contributing refugees and asylum seekers
The Department of Labour has issued draft regulations that will eventually open the door for refugees and asylum seekers to claim benefits from the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF).
Jethro Malapane, executive committee member of the South African Payroll Association, says since 2009 the regulations that govern UIF were updated to include "non-RSA" identity documents and "valid foreign identity documents and passports.
Yet it continued seeing the asylum seekers still barred from payouts they were eligible for.
In order to obtain a South African identity, they first have to be granted asylum. This process should not take longer than 180 days, but in reality this often takes several years.
The draft regulations have been the result of successful litigation by Werksmans Attorneys' pro bono team. The current policy has been declared unconstitutional in February this year, and the draft regulations for consideration have now been published.
If someone has fled their country and fear prosecution because of race, religion, politics or being a member of a specific social group they are considered to be an asylum seeker and once they have been granted asylum they are considered to be a refugee in South Africa.
Once they receive an asylum seekers permit (a section 22 permit), which is valid for six months, they have the right to work and study in SA and is protected against deportation to their country of origin, the Department of Home Affairs explains on their website.
The asylum seeker has to undergo a second round of interviews in order to obtain written recognition of refugee status (a section 24 permit) which is valid for two years and is renewable.
Malapane says the draft regulations have been released for stakeholder input, and once the comments have been considered the final regulations will be published.
"It is possible that the final regulations will be published this year still, but there may be a delay with the updating of the systems at the Department of Labour and the UIF."
Malapane emphasis that people who do not have a valid work permit, or who has entered the country illegally will not be entitled to work in SA, and therefore could not be eligible to contribute to or benefit from the UIF.
"It is my understanding that those who were not able to claim in the past because of the current regulations, may be in a position to backdate their claims."
He explains that they may be given a window in which to resubmit claims that have been rejected. However, there is no indication how long it will be backdated in order to assist people who lost their jobs and were not entitled to their contributions to the fund.
The UIF will have to increase its capacity to deal with the registrations and potential increase in the number of claims going forward, Malapane says.

How NHI will affect your pay and the payroll department in your organisation
President Cyril Ramaphosa says that all South Africans will be covered by the National Health Insurance (NHI) by 2025, but there is still little clarity as to how the NHI will be funded.
Arlene Leggat, Executive Committee Member of the South African Payroll Association (SAPA), says that payroll departments will need to prepare for the ripple effect that this will have on a company's payroll.
"Logistically, payroll departments can easily implement a method to deduct money from employees' salaries for the NHI, which is a likely scenario considering that government is yet to determine how the NHI will be funded. The challenge is that payroll coffers aren't limitless. Additional deductions from employees' salaries can result in financial pressure on employers and their employees," says Leggat.
Cost of the NHI still undetermined
The NHI Bill was tabled in Parliament in August 2019, but there isn't clarity on what the scheme is going to cost each year.
The original NHI white paper, which was published by the Department of Health in 2010, estimated it would cost the economy around R256-billion per year.
Economists have said that this number is grossly underestimated and the former health minister Aaron Motsaoeldi admitted this number was only a "guestimate".
Besides the cost of the NHI being undetermined, a pilot project that government implemented to test the preparedness of health care facilities for the NHI showed that most facilities failed on a governance level and that there aren't sufficiently resourced.
"Hospitals will need to ensure that they can offer the services that are needed and implement a financial management structure that can accommodate the NHI," says Leggat.
Crunching the numbers of potential funding scenarios
The white paper proposes a number of scenarios as to how the NHI could potentially be funded, such as increasing UIF or VAT, using money from the Road Accident Fund (RAF), or utilising what is currently the Medical Tax Credit given to taxpayers towards NHI contributions, among other options.
Many of these scenarios, says Leggat, won't amount to the sum that is needed for the NHI.
"According to the 2017/2018 SARS report, medical tax credits equalled approximately R20-billion, which is a far cry from the alleged R256-billion that will be needed per year.
If the RAF fund is used, the NHI could receive a once-off injection of around R55-billion.
With tax revenue being R1.2-trillion, VAT would have to be doubled to meet the required target, which will be unaffordable to the public.
It is expected that the funding for the NHI will have to come from the South African workforce. Exactly how this will impact the public and payroll departments is not yet known," says Leggat.
In order for the NHI to be effective and functional, it is imperative that the number-crunching is done accurately. Failure to do this will result in a system that cannot be sustainable.

Fighting Payroll Fraud with Technology
Authored by; Rob Bothma, Exco member of the South African Payroll Association (SAPA)
Last month I spent some time speaking at the various South African Payroll Association's regional annual conferences, focusing on fraud in payroll. In my preparation for these talks I decided that I would focus my talk around the impact emerging technologies are currently having with regards to compliance in the payroll department.
During my research on this topic one of the scariest things I found was that, although on the one hand technology can be used to assist the HR and Payroll teams in fighting fraud, it was also being used to assist employees in committing fraud.
One of the scariest facts coming out while gathering information for this talk was the amount of fraud being committed with regards to "ghost employees", in both the private and public sectors.
When looking at what technologies are available to fight this and other acts of fraud within payroll, the newest and probably the most powerful is no doubt the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which includes various technologies such as:
Machine Learning, which provides the ability for systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed to do so. This process starts with analysing large amounts of historical data, to provide the input required to create the relevant algorithms, which once created can then be utilised against the organisation's current data to start providing predictive analysis results.
Analytics, which can be utilised for the creation of real-time dash-boarding, presenting data in an easy to view visual representation, which can be extremely informative, in standard pie and bar charts format, which are easy for users to interpret.
Blockchain, which utilises distributed ledger technology, which is essentially a system of record where many copies of a record are stored across various servers, ensuring that no one individual can edit a record without the "approval" of all other parties. Think of an individual's education record, which is essentially co-owned by all parties but cannot be manipulated by the individual themselves, thus providing a record that can be trusted by all parties who have access to it.
Another area which I raised in these talks was the whole issue of Audit Trails. Being involved with software vendors for the past 30 odd years, I never ever came across an organisation that did not specify that any payroll solution they would use, needed to have full audit trail facilities which at a minimum would record details such as before and after images after every transaction, who initiated the transaction as well as the usual date and time stamping.
Two challenges:
Did any of the payroll managers present actually know which staff members had administrator access to the Audit Function?
By having the capability to switch auditing off and on, creates an ideal environment for fraud. In the past I have come across organisations where this loophole was successfully used by a payroll staff member who unknowingly to management, had the system authority to turn auditing off, where they were able to reinstate a resigned employee, change the banking details to their own, and then run a payroll payment through the system before switching auditing back on again.
When last did anybody in the organisation actually analyse any of the payroll audit trail data?
My research found that the average time it takes to identify fraud in payroll was 18 months, as reported by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals, which in itself a scary thought. But when understanding that the bulk of payroll administrator never bother to look at payroll audit trails, it's easy to understand why it takes so long.
The detail of much of the payroll fraud being conducted today actually resided in the audit trails, the organisation really just needs automated and intelligent tools to be able to analyse this data and alert the relevant staff members when anomalies are encountered.
And this is where Analytics can play a big role. Have real time data being displayed, can help with not only detecting fraud but also empowering management to take immediate steps in stopping fraudulent transactions before they can be completely processed.
With the power of emerging technologies having the ability to "learn", this makes them extremely powerful when it comes to analysing data, providing both analytical results and predictive indicators, empowering HR and management with true decision support capabilities.
By taking this learning capability and applying it to fraud prevention, it is easy to see how new-age systems are able to create patterns of behavior based on historical data, and then quickly being able to identify when a change in pattern or an anomaly is encountered.
For example, a payroll user who suddenly starts editing employees' bank account details or starts creating new employee records in numbers that are way above the norm. It's not to say that these are not valid transactions, but by being alerted by a change in behavior empowers the organisation's risk team to investigate the relevant transactional detail, enabling them to assess the situation to determine the probability of fraud being committed.
One of the downsides of using sophisticated technology is that sometimes areas of risk can be hidden within the configuration of the system, and as such, can often be overlooked, and in this example, who has been assigned the administrator rights to controlling the Auditing function.
Another big contribution to fraud is the lack of visibility regarding segregation of duties
It is very difficult to manually monitor each and every user's access rights on a continual basis, as new users are continuously being added and while other being deleted, making this a cumbersome task that eventually gets ignored. This is the ideal breeding ground for the ghost employee phenomenon.
If an unauthorised user can create a ghost employee and then have the ability to execute a payroll run for them, this is a fraudster's paradise. No wonder my research uncovered so many examples where millions of Rand were being lost through payments made to non-existent ghost employees! In each of the cases, there was either no control on the segregation of duties or collaboration between staff members to overcome this control.
In summary, the tools to both fight and prevent fraud in payroll have become extremely sophisticated and are now available to organisations of any size.
Payroll managers need to take an urgent look at the limitations of their current systems and ensure that these are mitigated through either replacing the current payroll solution or at the very least ensuring that the payroll is upgraded to a version where these AI capabilities are available, to ensure that fraud in your payroll is eliminated in its entirety.

More fitness-conscious consumers in Thailand and Indonesia are buying healthier food products.
In a new report, Mintel said the growing appeal of leading healthy lifestyles has made its way to consumers in South-east Asia, particularly Thailand and Indonesia, and it seems the cornerstone of maintaining this is by following a healthy diet and exercise regime.
The global market intelligence agency revealed that as many as three in four (75%) metro consumers in Indonesia and two in three (66%) metro consumers in Thailand say they aim to have a healthier diet this year (polled in June). Also, 58% of metro Indonesians and 62% of metro Thais say that they will exercise more this year.
Food and drinks high in protein are key for consumers in South-east Asia to achieve a healthy and balanced diet. Mintel revealed that there has been an increased interest in protein offerings across the region.

Also, 58% of metro Indonesians and 62% of metro Thais say that they will exercise more this year.
In addition, 64% of metro consumers in both Indonesia and Thailand say that as part of their daily diets, they prefer to get their protein from foods that are naturally high in protein. Reflecting a growth in interest in protein consumption in South-east Asian consumers' daily diets, this figure (64%) is a rise from 37% of metro Indonesians and 41% of metro Thais who said the same last year. Furthermore, 47% of metro Thai consumers think that high protein food or drink assists with building muscle, while 37% of metro Indonesians think that high protein offerings help in managing weight. Also, just over two in five consumers in urban Indonesia (42%) and Thailand (41%) feel that high protein food or drink provides them with long-lasting energy, while four in 10 (40%) metro Thais think that these offerings help them to feel fuller for longer.
a 5% growth in the number of food and drink launches with a "high/ added protein" claim in the same time period.


I'm also leaving teaching and writing a blog! Ha, great minds think alike! I won a National Teaching Award in 2004 and have been a passionate advocate of the teaching profession for 23 years, but now I'm writing about why I can't stand it anymore (not without a conscience, I might add.) I think you write well and am interested to know how you are getting on. I'm planning to do something quite menial in the interim period between finishing teaching and finding what I really want to do…and I can't wait! Menial feels great!
Thanks for the comment – very kind! I must admit I have been so busy I haven't felt inclined to blog about it. Leaving has been a rollercoaster ride; partly because I had to go back to provide Department support – the guy who took my job went off sick after ten days so I am back two days a week till Easter; partly because I felt SO lost without the relentless workload of teaching (and I was doing 65 hours a week); partly because I was at home so much more and I was NOT used to that; teachers become part of a vibrant and lively community and I really missed that. But the positives? Health and well-being, pure and simple. Having led and driven things forward for 18 years I am also now in the process of looking for a 'menial' position – at the moment applying for a Wider Participation role at The University of Sussex – I still feel most at home in an educational environment. You've given me a good nudge – I must get blogging again. Stay in touch and good luck!
Hi, I have been reading your posts with interest as I am a teacher in my 40s with a young family and find myself in a position where I am feeling with more and more conviction that teaching doesn't work for me anymore. I find myself in a similar situation, but am worried about simply leaving with nothing else to go to. It has been really helpful reading about your experiences.
I've found it all a really interesting process. I hope you find the next good thing for you. I'm going to try blogging a bit about my new experiences over the next few weeks. Good luck!
Hi. I left my position as head of a department last Easter because I just could not 'take it' anymore for many of the reasons that you have identified in this blog. I also am in my forties with two young children (both pre schoolers when I left) and could not cope with the demands of the job, the demands of a young family, the extreme and unfair accountability that SLT's impose driven by OfSted, and the comments of the wider community that have always been there of teachers short working days and long holidays that seemed cruel. Even after more than a year it does pain me when I think about the fact that I have left and I recognise that I loved teaching and was very good at it.
However, in the past year I have not been idle. I have done a maternity contract which stimulated me but also confirmed to me that I do not want to remain in the profession. I also have had the time to have 'hobbies' and I feel that this is where I feel that I have been finding out who I am again. My house had been seriously neglected and one of the tasks that I allowed myself was to decorate it and furnish it on as little money as possible. This has been a wonderful experience and one I have become passionate about and found that I am good at. As a result I have just completed a painting and decorating course and am setting myself up in business as a lady decorator. I have worked out that, given the hours that I did as a teacher, I can earn more money this way, build my work around my children, still feed my creative urge and give my brain a complete break.
I agree with you when you say that leaving has been an interesting process. It has been painful but it has also been an adventure. I now feel that instead of constantly trying to change and improve myself for my job I have changed and improved my job for me. This now feels right!
Good for you! It sounds to me like you've made life work for you – it doesn't get better than that! Where are you based in case I need a painter and decorator?
Hi Suzanna, I really enjoyed reading your post, it offered some real practical advice which is often missing from similar articles on leaving teaching. I have worked as a Further Education Lecturer and then as an Assessor for over 15 years and I am also trying desperately to change careers. I am leaving for the same reason as many others, mountains of paperwork, long hours, almost spoon feeding learners as everyone must pass, impossible targets and don't even get me started on Ofsted. I don't enjoy it anymore so I know it is time to move on. I really enjoy the interaction with the learners but the focus of teaching has changed, it is a numbers game. I worked as a freelance Assessor for over 6 years, the company went into administration without telling anyone and I was left over £3,500 out of pocket with unpaid wages and learners were left without qualifications, the directors of the company set up another company while this was happening and are still accessing government funding, this is common practice with training providers, the whole industry is becoming morally repugnant and purely money focussed. This was one of the many signs I had that made me realise it was time to go. I know I will take a salary drop but what price sanity! Getting out of teaching takes planning and time so I started volunteering with the Citizen's Advice Bureau, one day a week, last year as I would like to gain a more advice and guidance type role as this is the part of teaching I really did enjoy. I really enjoy this but there is little hope of paid employment but it does give me some additional experience which hopefully I can use. I am applying for jobs that have a more advice and guidance focus in the last few months, while doing some teaching through an agency. I have not had any success but trying not to get disheartened as I can pick up some assessing/teaching in September if all else fails, which is not really what I want to do and sounds awful I know, but I cannot afford to be out of work. The real problem I have at the moment is the sheer amount of time that I am spending filling out application forms! I cannot believe how much detail is required and how seriously tedious the whole process is when you are on page 17 and still being asked to explain how you meet every criteria and give a real example of how you have met this (there are never less than 15 criteria). Nobody will accept a CV anymore so this is how it is now and it is the application form that will get you the interview. I am 51 which again may make me less of an attractive candidate for many but I am hoping that companies may see experience not age. I am trying not to become disheartened by this as I know it will take time and hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
Thank you for your reply Suzanne, yes it is a long process to try and change but I will stick with it. Thank you for your kind offer regarding my CV,but I have managed to get my first interview next week! I will let you know how it goes, even if I am not successful it does feel positive to get an interview.

New changes to Ohio's prohibited noxious weeds list took effect last Friday, September 14th. In a previous blog post, we explained that the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) was considering an update to the list as part of a mandatory five year review of all administrative rules. ODA ultimately added 13 new species to the list, and removed 3 species.
Yellow Groove Bamboo (Phyllostachys aureasculata), when the plant has spread from its original premise of planting and is not being maintained.
Heart-podded hoary cress (Lepidium draba sub. draba).
Hairy whitetop or ballcress (Lepidium appelianum).
Columbus grass (Sorghum x almum).
Wild carrot (Queen Anne's lace) (Daucus carota L.).
Oxeye daisy (Chrysanthermum leucanthemum var. pinnatifidum).
Wild mustard (Brassica kaber var. pinnatifida).
Russian thistle (Salsola Kali var. tenuifolia).
Grapevines: when growing in groups of one hundred or more and not pruned, sprayed, cultivated, or otherwise maintained for two consecutive years.
Apple of Peru (Nicandra physalodes).
Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata).
The revised list can be found online at Ohio Administrative Code § 901:5-37-01. Readers may recall that the Farm Office's Ag Law Library has a law bulletin on Ohio's Noxious Weed Laws. It has been updated to reflect the changes, and is available here.
Grapevines: (Vitis spp.), when growing in groups of one hundred or more and not pruned, sprayed, cultivated, or otherwise maintained for two consecutive years.
ODA is requesting public comments on the revised list of noxious weeds through April 27, 2018. E-mail comments to ecomments@agri.ohio.gov or mail them to Legal Section, Ohio Department of Agriculture, 8995 E. Main St., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. Learn more about noxious weed laws in our bulletin, here.

Georg Simon Klügel (19 de agosto de 1739 - 4 de agosto de 1812) fue un matemático y físico alemán.

Nació en Hamburgo, y en 1760 fue a la Universidad de Göttingen, donde inicialmente estudió teología antes de cambiar a matemáticas. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg fue su compañero de estudios. Su tesis doctoral Conatuum praecipuorum theoriam parallelarum demonstrandi recensio, publicada en 1763 con Abraham Gotthelf Kästner como asesor doctoral, fue un estudio de 30 intentos de pruebas del postulado de las paralelas. Fue muy influyente y citado en ese tiempo.

Klügel editó la revista Hannöversche durante 2 años a partir de 1766, antes de convertirse en profesor de matemáticas en la Universidad de Helmstedt. En 1788 sucedió a Wenzeslaus Johann Gustav Karsten como director de matemáticas y física en la Universidad de Halle. Murió en Halle en 1812.

Intercambió correspondencia con Lichtenberg a lo largo de su carrera.

CE Speech at Wakaf Disbursement 2019
SPEECH BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF MUIS MR ESA MASOOD AT MUIS WAKAF DISBURSEMENT CEREMONY 2019 ON MONDAY, 13 MAY 2019
Sohibus Samaha Mufti of Singapore, Dr Mohamed Fatris Bakaram
Respected Members of the Muis Council and Muis Wakaf Disbursement Committee
Board Members of Warees Investments Pte Ltd
Trustees, Mutawallis and Beneficiaries of Wakaf
Respected Ladies and Gentlemen,
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
1. Alhamdulillah, I am very glad we are all gathered today, during the blessed month of Ramadan, for this very meaningful ceremony. Today we will be witnessing the annual disbursement of income from wakaf properties for the financial year ending 31st December 2018. I am pleased to announce that Muis will be disbursing more than $4 million this year to various beneficiaries including our mosques, madrasahs and Muslim organisations that strive to benefit our community's needs and well-being.
2. This ceremony is an important annual occasion for us as it is an opportunity for us to remember the philanthropists of the past who had laid the foundations of Wakaf in land scarce Singapore. It is through their foresight and noble intentions that our community is able to benefit from Wakaf income year after year.
3. The first Wakaf in Singapore was Masjid Omar Kampong Melaka created in 1820 by Syed Omar Bin Ali Aljunied, a philanthropist from Palembang as a meeting point for local Malays and Jawi Peranakans, as well as early Muslim immigrants such as Arabs and Indonesians. In the earlier days, each Wakaf was managed by one or two individuals known as trustees or mutawallis, typically descendants of the wakif. They actively participated in all aspects of the wakaf. However, as the social, religious and economic landscape changed in Singapore, so too has the management of Wakaf. In 2018, the number of Wakaf under Muis management has grown to include four additional wakaf with various beneficiaries including beneficiaries in Singapore, overseas charities, an education fund as well as Muslim organisations. Thus, it is our honour to be disbursing additional funds on behalf of these wakaf today.
4. This year, close to $1.8 million of wakaf income will be channelled to 32 mosques in Singapore to help in funding mosque upgrading projects and mosque programmes to benefit the community. Additionally, our six full-time madrasahs and the part-time mosque madrasahs will be receiving more than $400,000 this year. Madrasahs serve an important role to nurture future religious leaders of the community and these funds will assist the madrasahs in developing programmes as well as upgrading of their facilities to provide a more conducive learning environment.
5. Apart from the mosques and madrasahs, Muslim Organisations play a big part in fulfilling the socio-religious needs of the different facets within the community. Muis will be disbursing more than $380,000 to 30 Muslim and Voluntary Welfare Organisations to help support social initiatives and religious programmes for the community. These include welfare homes that shelter persons facing difficult family or personal circumstances, food banks which provide food supplies and rations to the poor and needy, youth-focused organisations as well as welfare organisations that provide services to those who struggle with mental illness, women facing injustice and cancer patients. May Allah bless and reward your meaningful efforts, insyaAllah.
Sustaining and Developing Wakaf in Singapore
Implementation of Wakaf Renovation & Restoration Works
6. Ladies and gentlemen, the management of Wakaf is an amanah that Muis takes very seriously. Apart from the day to day overseeing of our wakaf, ensuring compliance to regulatory controls and that our wakaf are tenanted, we do our very best to ensure that wakaf assets are revitalised and continue to be a source of pride for the Muslim community here. The process of revitalisation also improves the value of wakaf with the ultimate goal of improving income for the beneficiaries.
7. Muis, through its subsidiary Warees Investments Pte Ltd, adopts a proactive approach to improve the tenantable condition of Wakaf properties and upgrade infrastructure facilities to be in line with the market. We have implemented the Wakaf Improvement Plan to upgrade our Wakaf properties while maximising returns for our beneficiaries – achieving economies of scale with minimal disruptions to business operations.
8. All these upgrading works would not have been possible without a healthy and vibrant wakaf ecosystem comprising businesses, Muis, Warees and also wakaf beneficiaries. In the downtown cluster, there are various F&B establishments operating from Wakaf properties, such as the popular Victory Restaurant that supports Wakaf Raja Siti Kraeng Chanda Pulih, and hipster cafes such as Tash Tish Tosh that supports Wakaf Rubat Habban. The net income generated from the rental to such businesses enables Muis to fulfil its duties as the administrator of wakaf and disburse to the beneficiaries. Alhamdullilah.
9. Ladies and gentlemen, today's disbursement is made possible by Allah's grace and benevolence as well as the foresight of philanthropists who created wakaf as instruments to provide for the needs of our Muslim community. We are glad that mutawallis, many of whom are family members or descendants of the wakif, are also doing their part to ensure that the wakaf is able to bring the best returns for our community while complying with Muis' requirements. Muis would like to thank the mutawallis for the support and tireless contributions towards improving the socio-religious life of muslims in Singapore. May Allah grant all of you with the best of all rewards.
10.I hope that all of us will have a blessed Ramadan this year and may all our good deeds be accepted by Allah swt.
Wabillahi taufiq walhidayah wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Are you following the four steps?
I listened to Chris LoCurto's "Entreleadership" podcast today. He made a great point that everyone is a salesperson. You're always selling something. You could be selling your product, your service, your ideas, or yourself. You are selling to your clients, your boss, your employees, your future date and your kids.
What caught my ear was the four essential steps present and necessary in every sale. The four steps must be followed in order for the sale of everything. If one step is skipped, it will derail the entire sales process.
The four steps in the sales process are qualify, rapport, educate and close.
I began to wonder how many podcasts view their show as selling. Beyond that perspective, I wondered how many actually understand and use the four selling steps. The answer is probably not enough.
Your podcast is selling something. It could simply be your ideas. You could be selling an actual product. You are most likely at least selling your listener the idea of listening again. Be sure you follow the four steps.
The qualification step will probably occur in the description of your show. If your show is about gardening, you probably will have a difficult time attracting someone not interested in gardening. They are not a qualified "buyer".
When you get your listener to tune into the show, begin building rapport. Friendship comes from self-revelation. Help your audience where you can.
Next, education your listener. Explain what problems are solved by your "product". Explain the importance of solving those problems. Explain how you have succeeded in that process in the past. Help your listener solve their problems.
If you have completed the first three steps successfully, the close should be easy. It should handle itself. The first three steps have found a qualified "buyer", developed a relationship with that individual, and explained to your listener how you can help them. If the close is difficult, you have probably made a shortcut through one of the steps. Make sure each step is fully executed.

Braided rugs are very popular and many people do love them for their qualities and excellent properties. You will be truly amazed by the variety of styles and designs offered by braided area rugs, so I assume you need a little help.
The materials used for weaving of the braided rugs vary a lot from natural fibers such as wool, cotton and chenille to synthetic fibers such as nylon and polypropylene. These materials make braided area rugs suitable for all types of indoor and outdoor areas in your home.
Before choosing any type of braided rug you should know for what use you want it ' inside or outside your home. For outdoor use you need a synthetic rug and for indoors ' a natural fiber rug.
Chenille braided rugs are very soft and luxurious and are often noted for their simple charm and warm feel and comfort. That makes them perfect for bedrooms, and especially children's. Like most braided area rugs chenille braided rugs are reversible, and incredible property, which means you can wear them twice ' once each side.
Most wool braided rugs are not 100% pure wool, but most often a wool and synthetic mix, which are required by the weaving technique. Braided wool rugs are very common home area rugs that can fit perfectly to any room in your house and all members in your family will love for the delicate touch and luxurious feel.
You will love the country braided rugs for their warm and lively colors. You may notice that most country rugs are named after things that remind you of the county side ' for example: autumn earth, forest green, golden sunset, country wedgewood and many more country related names.
I am sure that whenever you look at your new braided area rug, it will remind you of the fresh mountain air, the vast green forests and amazingly beautiful golden sunsets.
The shape you want for your braided area rug depends on where you will use it. If you want it for your dining area under your oval dining table, then choose an oval rug. Actually an oval shape is the most common shape for braided rugs, as far as I can see from what most online rug stores offer. So you have huge selection of oval braided area rugs to choose from.
As for the round braided rugs, and especially the ones that withstand moisture, they can fit perfectly to your kitchen or bathroom.

Start looking at Sexism and Racism. Is this history we are just learning, or history we are not supposed to know. You decide.
#wecandohardthings #BlackLivesMatter
Right before she got onstage at one predominantly white church, the leaders warned her against speaking in support of Black Lives Matter. She did it anyway. "What happens at a lot of churches is, 'Come, be funny, don't bring up your politics,'" she says. "Which is so hilarious because Jesus was, like, the most political person on Earth." Doyle makes that point repeatedly, and also ensures that white women feel seen in their own struggles by acknowledging how uncomfortable it can be to speak openly about race. One of her favorite hashtags, #wecandohardthings, serves as both reassurance and call to action.

They were once America's cruelest, richest slave traders. Why does no one know their names?
Hannah Natanson, September 14, 2019, The Washington Post
The two most ruthless domestic slave traders in America had a secret language for their business.
Slave trading was a "game." The men, Isaac Franklin and John Armfield, were daring "pirates" or "one-eyed men," a euphemism for their penises. The women they bought and sold were "fancy maids," a term signifying youth, beauty and potential for sexual exploitation — by buyers or the traders themselves.
Rapes happened often.
"To my certain knowledge she has been used & that smartly by a one eyed man about my size and age, excuse my foolishness," Isaac Franklin's nephew James — an employee and his uncle's protege — wrote in typical business correspondence, referring to Caroline Brown, an enslaved woman who suffered repeated rape and abuse at James's hands for five months. She was 18 at the time and just over five feet tall.
1619 Might Not Be the Right Year: 6 Shocking Facts About Slavery, Natives and African Americans

1619, the year slavery was born, or was it?
The Joseph Jenkins Roberts Center at Norfolk State University (NSU) held a conference called 1619: The Making of America in September of 2013. That year is historically significant because it was the first year Africans were brought to the colonies, slavery was born and it was the year America's first legislative body was founded.
In an admirable gesture to honor all of the cultural relations happening in the America's in 1619, NSU hosted several Native speakers and those familiar with Native history to address many issues not often covered in today's classrooms. During these sessions, many little known facts about African Americans, Native Americans and slavery were addressed in the years following 1619.

AALS Names Ginger Patterson Associate Director
By Barbra Elenbaas
Elizabeth "Ginger" Hayes Patterson returned to the staff AALS as Associate Director, a position she has held twice previously under former Executive Directors Carl Monk and Susan Prager. A 1973 graduate of The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, she practiced law with Hogan and Hartson in Washington, D.C. earlier in her career.
Patterson joined the faculty of Georgetown University Law Center in 1980 where she served as Associate Dean for the JD and graduate programs from 1993-97. Over her career, Patterson held the position of Chair of the D.C. Public Service (Utilities) Commission and was a Commissioner of the D.C. Public Service Commission. She also served as Treasurer of the D.C. Bar and served on the editorial board of its publication, Washington Lawyer.
AALS is pleased to welcome back Ginger Patterson and recently sat down with her to discuss her prior experiences with the association and her vision for the position today.
Can you give me a little bit of your background in legal education and public service?
I had my introduction to legal education when I was asked to teach conflict of laws, on an adjunct basis, at my alma mater The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. The person hired to teach the course had become very ill just as the semester was to begin. I knew before then that I wanted to teach in a law school, so this seemed a great opportunity for me to get some experience. I had taught before—I was a French and Spanish high school teacher in Washington, D.C. before going to law school.
At the time, I was in Litigation at Hogan and Hartson, my husband, Jerome, and I had our 14-month old daughter, Sala, and I was pregnant with our son, Malcolm. The only time I could teach the course was from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday mornings, so that's what I did. It was grueling, but in the end, I loved it so much that I knew I was going to end up in the classroom.
In terms of public service, I have always been involved with local and national social service agencies here in D.C., starting while I was at my first job after clerking, at Hogan. I served and held leadership positions on a number of boards, helping those organizations formulate policies and procedures to ensure that the work they were doing was effective. I also served on a number of D.C. Bar committees and on local and federal government committees or commissions.
You recently joined AALS staff as Associate Director, a position you have held before at AALS. How would you describe the position?
I see the position first as being a resource for the Executive Director and the staff. The experience of being in the legal academy, especially if you had an administrative position in a law school, gives you an understanding of the issues that come up in the course of formulating AALS policy and programs. It's important to have two people, myself and Executive Director Judy Areen, who have both had those experiences and who are sensitive to how faculty, administrators, and staff might react to various programs or initiatives that we're considering.
The Associate Director is also responsible for coordination of specific programs, like the Scholarly Papers Competition or the Workshop at the Faculty Recruitment Conference. AALS is primarily a volunteer organization when it comes to our programming—we have a staff, but a small staff. The success of our meetings and workshops really depends on faculty volunteers. Our job is to assist those members in formulating, planning, and implementing programs.
How has it changed since your previous appointments to the position?
There are two very obvious changes: when I was here before, from 2005-07 and 2009-10, my title was Deputy Director. Now it's Associate Director. But the positions are essentially the same.
Secondly, I officially retired in 2013 and I am working only part time for AALS. It means the portfolio is not as broad as it was. For example, I will not be as deeply involved in the Membership Review process as I was in the past. I may sit in on committee meetings and review documents beforehand but I will not be involved in the production of those documents.
More broadly, how has legal education changed during your time here and throughout your career?
The biggest change from 1980, when I started teaching, to the present is in the demographic makeup of the legal academy. Women deans and deans of color were rare in 1980; while there is still room for improvement, this has changed significantly. For example, during the 1980-1981 academic year, there were about three women deans; there are now over 60 women deans. Likewise, women and people of color are present as students in much greater numbers than in 1980. Students of color comprised a little less than nine percent of law school enrollment in 1980 and they comprised a little less than 27 percent of law school enrollment in the fall of 2013.
Another major change is curricular. When I started teaching in 1980, I was on a faculty and at a school that had an extensive clinical program—Georgetown had the largest clinical program in the country. So clinical legal education has always, in my mind, been a crucial and central part of legal education generally. What has changed over the years is that there is now much more emphasis on experiential learning throughout the legal academy. Some of that emphasis has resulted from external pressures—some practitioners feel that we should be doing more in law schools to prepare students in a practical vein. But there is also concern that we not abandon the teaching of doctrine and analytical skills. As with most things in life, it's not either/or. It's both/and. The major difference I see is that there's more "and" in the area of experiential teaching and learning.
What has remained the same?
We are operating law schools and our fundamental job is to prepare our students for a wide variety of positions. What happens every single day is teaching and learning, informed and enriched by scholarship. That's fundamental; that's the same. But how we're doing it has changed. Methodologies have changed, from the large class lecture to a variety of formats. In addition, I now see a greater emphasis on assessment and outcomes.
What is it about AALS and legal education that made you want to return to this position?
First of all, it has to do with my view of the law. I can relate to President Testy's Q & A in the spring issue of AALS News, in which she talked about how she developed her sense of the law. Like her, I am also a first-generation college graduate, so education, for me generally, has been crucial. It has represented movement out of poverty and into a wide, broad-ranging life. So education, whether legal or not, to me, is crucial not only for surviving but thriving in the world—particularly the fast-paced world that we're in now.
Legal education is important because law is important, particularly in our society. Law impacts everyone in many ways both obvious and subtle, and law has been and can be a vehicle for so much good in our society and the world. But it can be a source of injustice as well. Because of the importance of law in our society and in the world, I see legal education as important to the maintenance of law and the protection of human and individual rights. That's why I returned to legal education.
I returned to AALS because I've always found that it's a place where the staff is committed to legal education and committed to accomplishing whatever task is necessary to support legal education. AALS provides a vehicle for faculty members, as well, to interact on a national level. When you're active in your sections and on committees, you're interacting not only with people in your immediate subject area, but with people from around the country and from different kinds of schools. It's a perpetual learning process provided by an organization that brings faculty together from all over the country and sometimes the world.
What is your specific focus in this position and what do you hope to accomplish during this tenure?
I've always had an interest in issues relating to the pipeline to law school. When I was with AALS previously, I was working on some pipeline programs. I see the AALS "Before the JD" project as related to pipeline—it's looking at what is happening at an undergraduate level that has resulted in a decline in interest in law school over the last 40 years among college freshmen. I plan to be involved with that project.
Apart from that, my focus is on doing everything I can to assist Judy Areen and the AALS staff in serving the legal academy.
Can you tell me about your first interactions with AALS as a law professor?
That's easy—it was in 1981 at the conclusion of my first year of teaching. I was teaching contracts and conflicts at the time, and AALS sponsored a conference on contracts at the University of Wisconsin. It was the first large meeting of contracts faculty in something like 10 or more years, which meant that everybody came. All of the major casebooks, all of the hornbooks, were represented by one or more of their authors. It was a wonderful opportunity for me, as a new faculty member, to hear the best and the brightest in the contracts teaching profession. But I also found significant value in the informal moments, when we'd go out for coffee or an unplanned meal, in the interaction with people who had been teaching for 30 or so years. Just listening to them talk about what it meant to teach, interacting with students, and to hear their goals was invaluable. I felt that it launched me into the profession.
I think this is an example of the best of what AALS has to offer.
In what other capacities have you engaged with AALS throughout your career?
I was a member of the Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Minority Law Teachers in the 1990s. I later became chair of that committee. I co-chaired a 2000 Task Force on Racial Diversity, with Professor David Chambers of the University of Michigan. Among Task Force members were liaisons from the American Bar Association, the Society of American Law Teachers, the Law School Admissions Council, and the American Council on Education. Each of the members of the Task Force were brilliant and dedicated. I found that to be a very rich experience.
I also have served on the Nominating Committee for AALS leadership and on various planning committees. I've been involved with the association in some way or another since 1990.
And what changes have you noticed with AALS over the years?
I notice an increase in the size of the Communications staff and with that a concomitant increase in the kind and extensiveness of communications with our member schools and faculty, as well as those outside the legal academy.

Angel Mom Says Dems Fighting for Illegal Immigrants over Americans: People Need to 'Wake Up'
Joshua Nelson, Fox News, August 21, 2020
Sabine Durden-Coulter, whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant, reacted to the narrative of the Democratic National Convention, which ended Thursday night.
"They want to flood our country with illegals and non-citizens and us Americans, who paid into the system, we're supposed to pay for that. That's wrong, it can't happen, and it won't happen," Durden-Coulter told "Fox & Friends First" on Friday.
Durden-Coulter said that Americans need to "wake up" to see that Democrats are prioritizing the needs of illegal immigrants over Americans. The Arkansas native's son, Dominic, a 30-year-old sheriff's office dispatcher, died in 2012 while riding his motorcycle when he was hit by an unlicensed driver in the country illegally.
"The Democrats are working for illegals and fighting for illegals and they don't even hide it anymore. They're showing it blatantly," Durden-Coulter said.
"We are a country of law and order."

It is pretty rare as a cycling reviewer I am presented with a product that I had no idea about. Especially when the company is one like Magellan, who have been in the GPS navigation business for over two and a half decades and have now partnered with Navman.
Yet surprised I was, as I was handed a Cyclo 105 cycling computer to review.
First impressions of the Cyclo 105 were great. Slim, nicely variable backlit screen and a USB port under the device with a secure rubber tab. Crucial to prevent water, sweat or moisture of any kind from getting inside the computer.
The mount to attach the Cyclo to the stem was also simple and secure – two zip ties and a one third turn twist attachment. Removing took a little more force. Not a negative, I have heard of enough riders losing their computer, after it has jiggled loose, to be happy with mine being more secure than not.
Functionally the Magellan does everything you would look for. Pairing with my ANT+ heart rate strap and power meter was easy. Distance, compared to two other cycling computers I ran at the same time, was accurate – as was elevation.
Navigation of the user interface does not take long to figure out; helped by the logically (and alphabetically) organised sub menus. Buttons also passed a test that those residing colder climates appreciate the value of – being that they were still easily used with full finger gloves on. Nothing worse than trying to press tiny, unresponsive, buttons when wind chill has the temperature well in to single digits. The Cyclo 105 did not suffer from this in the slightest.
I race a lot of time trials and am a bit of a ride data 'geek'. Knowing what speed, power average, distance and such are important. The Magellan easily allowed enough screens and data fields to cover all I required – and was additionally so slim that it was barely noticeable on my aero bar mount. I could even choose to have the display in portrait or landscape mode. Perfect!
Uploading rides to the Magellan Desktop PC Tool was also simple and quick – as is uploading to sites such like Training Peaks or Strava. Ease of use is paramount in these situations and Magellan makes it hassle free.
The unit also has a fully programmable workouts function, breadcrumb trail navigation and an impressive battery life (for those who don't upload after every ride). In fact, even with backlight running the whole time, I was surprised how little charge my rides consumed.
In all the Cyclo 105 left me not only impressed but relieved that there are alternatives within the cycling GPS market. If you are looking for an upgrade or an alternative to what you presently have, the Magellan is well deserving of a closer look.


If your 6.0 Powerstroke has over 50,000 miles on the factory oil cooler, It is highly recommended that you swap it out the factory cooler for a new, revised oil cooler. The new design prevents clogging, and increases cooling capacity up to 30% over the factory cooler.
Said to be the cheapest insurance on a 6.0 Powerstroke, the Sinister Coolant Filter Kit. Helping to remove harmful particulates from the coolant circuit. Changing the coolant filter with every oil change will increase the life and performance of the entire coolant system.
Sinister's External oil filtration kit, extending oil change intervals up to 10,000 miles and breathing life into your 6.0. With the oil in a 6.0 doing so many jobs, such as injection, cooling, and more, keeping it clean is 100% necessary.
The 6.0's have gone through quite a bit of changes over the production span. Many of which were small updated Ford parts to regain the reliability and performance your truck once produced. We have complied all of these parts for you into one simple kit.
When pulling the heads off of a 6.0 the injectors have to come out. Add this injector o-ring kit for 8 full injector seal kits.
This kit contains every single gasket or o-ring that would be removed from the top end of the motor during a complete tear down. If you are diving all the way into the motor and want to go through every component, there is no better way to ensure a leak free job than a heads up kit from Sinister Diesel.

Plot
Frannie and Calvin, a couple in their late twenties in Manhattan, had been dating for a few months when Frannie discovers she is pregnant. Calvin leaves on a tour with his band before Frannie finds the courage to tell him about the pregnancy. Frannie goes home to visit her parents just outside Toronto where her mother convinces her to tell Calvin, though the cell phone signal is weak and distorted and she believes he hung up on her. On her way back to New York a border guard refuses Frannie entrance to the USA as her visa has expired. When she says she has her apartment and job in New York she receives no sympathy. She then confesses to being with child hoping to gain some understanding from the female border guard. The border guard then bars her from entry to the USA for 12 months. Frannie is forced to do her work as a magazine editor from her parents' home. Calvin shows up a little  while later at Frannie's parents' home. Calvin and Frannie soon realise they have no idea how to cook, keep house, or raise a child and their relationship deteriorates. Michael Tate, a famous writer, offers to help Frannie get her visa reinstated because of the difficulties of having Frannie work remotely as his editor. Frannie moves back to Manhattan and begins to develop a relationship with Michael. In the end Frannie realises that the glamour and romance Michael has to offer is not what she wants and she seeks out Calvin who has returned to New York and his experimental jazz band that incorporates 'found instruments'.

One of the many advantages of being an UFAZ student is to have a chance to participate in the summer schools organized together with the prestigious universities in France (University of Strasbourg and University of Rennes 1), partners of UFAZ.
Starting from summer 2017, 40 of our best students have been given an opportunity to participate in a two-week summer school trip to Strasbourg, France.
Students with the best academic results (throughout the foundation year) can participate in this program free of charges (except for the international insurance and meals, which are at the expense of the participants).
Both universities (UNISTRA, Rennes1) are equipped with modern student campuses and located in cultural and historical regions of France (Alsace for Strasbourg University, and Bretagne for Rennes 1 University).
Students are offered a rich scientific and cultural program, which includes laboratory visits, participation in conferences, French language courses and cultural activities to discover France and its historical heritage.
During their time in Strasbourg, UFAZ students have the opportunity to discover the atmosphere and spirit of centuries-old universities, which at the same time meet the modern standards of the educational world.
For me personally, Summer School in Strasbourg was a special opportunity to improve my level of English and practice my French in a very cultural environment. During our visit to European Parliament we communicated in French with the staff members. We had time of our lives exploring the city's hidden gems and making very special memories and photos of them!
Two weeks, which I spent in Strasbourg had a profound influence on me. In addition to the intense language courses, we visited L'Institut de Physique et de Chemie de Materiuex de Strasbourg and were introduced to the detailed study of chemical substances and physical processes.

We're watching ECZ, we won't wait till they cause chaos in 2021 to take them on – HH
By Ulande Nkomesha,
UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema speaks on United Voice Radio yesterday
UPND president Hakainde Hichilema has charged that the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is working with the Patriotic Front in trying to manipulate the 2021 general election, but warns that Zambians will not allow it.
And Hichilema says the Constitution Amendment Bill Number 10 of 2019 is meant to divert Zambians' attention from the need to address the country's economic crisis.
Meanwhile, Hichilema has called on government and the police to stop concentrating on the Chilubi by-election and start protecting the people of Chingola District in the wake of a spate of suspected ritual killings in that area.
Speaking on a Joy FM Radio programme, Thursday, Hichilema said ECZ's decision to deny independent observers to monitor the printing of ballot papers in Dubai was undemocratic.
He added that the ECZ's pronouncement of opting to leave out independent observers to monitor the printing of ballot papers was an indication the ruling party was colluding with the ECZ to rig next year's election.
"Citizens must stand up to this and they should never allow the ECZ to collude with one political party, in this case, the PF. The ECZ can only upgrade the register; remove the dead people. If they do what they are planning to do, we will confirm that ECZ is colluding with the PF to steal the elections and that will not be allowed. This is another form of mischief, another form of arrogance. You need to study what is going on in this country; when people are planning something nasty, you can see it, you can feel it; you even see the way they talk; they talk with authority over citizens," Hichilema argued.
"If ECZ made a genuine mistake, we ask them to correct that mistake. It is the right of citizens through the political parties that participate that as it has been before to be represented to observe the ballot paper printing. The right thing to do is to have observers, no one should end it! If they want to go that way, they should organize elections for themselves! Why wait until there is chaos in 2021? We must put our position now! I am saying to all the right-thinking Zambians do not allow ECZ to do that."
He insisted that ECZ's desire record a new voters' register was strange.
"The attempt to basically get rid of the existing voter register, among other things, the Electoral Commission, is strangely doing. I say strangely these days because they are doing a lot of things purportedly for the people of Zambia, but without consulting the people, that is strange. Certainly, it must be strange to every citizen that cares and understands the importance of elections in a democracy. Democracy is anchored on elections, free fair and credible elections. So, what the ECZ is attempting to do is clearly against the interest of the public; against the interests of the citizens of Zambia. It is unacceptable that ECZ announces that they will procure (print) ballot papers from Dubai without consulting the people of Zambia, to ask the people for their decision. It is critical issues like the printing of ballot papers that needs the people's voice and somehow the ECZ is ignoring the desires of the people of Zambia," Hichilema said.
"Printing ballot papers is a controversial issue if not managed properly; it can lead to electoral disputes if not managed properly; it can lead to all sorts of things in a country, which is supposed to be a democracy. Therefore, it is always that it should be a tradition to allow citizens to have a view where ballot papers are printed from: one on account of confidentiality, confidentiality is important, yes, but on account of credibility; the credibility of the printer. They are printers of ballot papers in different countries in Africa that have been contested where questions have been raised about the integrity of those printers and also leading to, maybe, an assumption of unfairness in the electoral process. We must also worry about the cost of how much should it worry the taxpayer to print ballot papers? It may never be the decision of ECZ to spend money, which belongs to 17 million citizens of Zambia they way they want. What is the interest of the ECZ in Dubai, which overrides the interests of the people of Zambia?"
He said ECZ had no capacity to print ballot papers in Dubai as it would be strain on Zambia's Treasury.
"The country is bankrupt, it has been bankrupted by the PF. So, we need to save every penny. There is no way that ECZ can speak arrogantly to say, 'whether you like it or not, we will print in Dubai.' The question is that you are going to print in Dubai, for whose interest? My conclusion here is that it should not be allowed to continue. These are issues which border on flaws or leading to a flawed electoral process no one wants that to happen in 2021," he said.
"We want a free and fair election in 2021. The second area is the doing away of the current voter registration completely; this is unacceptable, this is illegal, too. The ECZ has no capacity; there is no money in this country; citizens should not agree for ECZ to do away with the current voter register completely because ECZ has no capacity to cover the whole country to register new voters given the flaws that are happening on the voter registration starting at the National Registration issuance. We know that PF are issuing NRCs luxuriously in their so-called strongholds, although there is no longer strongholds anywhere anymore. We are aware of the manipulation of the PF, which now would suggest that if ECZ wants to do away with the current register, it would suggest that they are colluding with the PF! ECZ, we can accuse them and safely say so that they are colluding with the PF to defranchise many citizens who are in the areas perceived to be opposition support. The legal requirement is that there is supposed to be continuous voter registration, that is the law."
And Hichilema said Bill 10 was meant to divert the people's attention from the ailing economy.
"Bill 10 is consuming pretty much of our time. Time is limited; time is money. Stop this Bill 10! It is disturbing us in terms of the time that we need to apply to be productive. To be active doing certain things creating jobs for our youths. We are wasting time on Bill 10. I love what happened with the Diggers! forum, although people are complaining now; that was an open programme, it was publicized! We must actually thank Diggers! and their partners, including Prime Television, for hosting such an activity giving citizens freedom of speech, freedom of conscience to think. What came out of that programme was wonderful! It reflects the feelings of the country. I know the PF are behaving like ostriches; what do I mean? They are burying their heads in the sand, but the rest of the body is exposed and any carnivore can devour that part of the body," said Hichilema, who also called on the police to stop concentrating on Chilubi and instead protect the people of Chingola District.

Meet Kasia! After training at another CF gym, Kasia decided to try EDOX and joined the EDOX clan not long after. She's become one of the regulars and it's always a pleasure to have her in the class. Read on a little more to find out more about her!
1. What do you enjoy about CrossFit that keeps you coming back?
I like the fact you don't know what to expect from each class as it's different all the time. You know it will make you work hard no matter what. Also you will never work out alone as it's done in friendly and supportive environment so it's not just a workout at the gym!
I started about 3 years ago, I have been doing it on and off also tried different things in between. It is a bit addictive and the whole box atmosphere makes you coming back for more.
3. What's the fastest you've ever been in a car?
4. What is it you do for a living/study?
I work as account adjustment analyst so I do a lot of excel spreadsheets.
5. Biggest achievement of 2018?
Managed to get my first strict pull up.
6. What have you got your eyes set on for 2019 goals wise?
Still few things to achieve on my CrossFit list - maybe a muscle up but it would also be nice not to get injured! .
7. You can be any animal for a week, what do you become and why?
If i could be any animal I would be a monkey with a long tail - I could swing from tree to tree very fast with my long tail. I could hear myself now: swish, swish, swish!

Kiva Club Open professional final is set for Sunday
 Eric Galvez, the tournament's No. 5 seed, upset No. 2 seed Reuben Phillips in a dramatic semifinal today at the Kiva Club Open in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
 In the other semifinal match, Colombian Juan Camilo Vargas (the No. 1 seed) cruised to an easy win over No. 6 seed Miled Zarazua of Mexico, 3-0.
Galvez and Camilo Vargas will face each other in the final on Sunday at noon.
The Galvez-Phillips match featured the tournament's longest game. Several points ran for two minutes or more as the crowd gasped and applauded one fantastic "get" layered on top of an earlier astounding "get." The ball rocketed around the court, the players barely managing to get to it for a return before its second bounce off the floor.
While the final score was 3-0 in games, the first two games were extremely tight. It wasn't until near the end of the second game that either player managed a 3-point lead.
In the first game, the score tied 12 times and there were five "game" balls. The Mexican Galvez ultimately triumphed 16-14 in 25 minutes.
The second game started off the same as the first -- until the 33-year-old Galvez eked out a 9-6 lead. He then won that game 11-7 in 10 minutes.
The third and final game was a seasaw. Galvez jumped to a 5-0 lead, but then the 25-year-old Phillips, who was born in England but lives in Atlanta, Georgia, won four points, almost getting back to even. Soon Galvez expanded his slim lead to 8-5, and then he finished out the game -- and the match -- 11-5, in 11 minutes

UPDATED : COFCO set to close Toowoomba office
Grain Central, June 26, 2018
This article has been updated to include a statement from COFCO International received overnight confirming its plans to consolidate its Australian offices to Melbourne.
TRADE sources say Chinese-owned company, COFCO International, is preparing to shut down its Toowoomba operation at the end of this week, a move which will take out a significant trading operation from the Darling Downs.
COFCO's Australian trading division is based in Melbourne, and it has also operated an office in Perth.
Toowoomba, COFCO's only regional office, has been the company's procurement hub for sorghum and chickpeas, and has also traded cereals, oilseed and other pulses.
The Toowoomba branch came into COFCO's sole operation when the company completed the second stage of its global acquisition of Nidera last year.
COFCO International statement
MEDIA STATEMENT: COFCO INTERNATIONAL CONSOLIDATES AUSTRALIA OFFICES
COFCO International can confirm that it plans to consolidate its Australia offices to its existing location in Melbourne. As a result, the Toowoomba office will close in June 2018. COFCO International is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to its growers, domestic consumers and export customers, and remains committed to the Queensland and NSW markets.
