Obama will appear at the fair's official opening ceremony on Sunday, 24 April, and is also scheduled for the traditional opening tour of the fair with Merkel on Monday morning.
"President Obama's participation sends a special signal about HANNOVER MESSE's international appeal," said Dr. Jochen Köckler, member of the managing board at Deutsche Messe AG. "And the timing is perfect: in the midst of its reindustrialization the United States has become a very attractive business partner for industry. For German machinery and plant manufacturers, the USA is once again the number one market."

Catch-up programmes provide an intelligent way of coping with school years lost by children because of conflict and of desplacement. Catch-up programmes aim at building children capacities in all discipline, but focus mainly on Arabic language, English and Maths. They take into account the child's age and it specific learning speed making him able to continue his school path the best way.
Our catch-up programmes are focused on the development of abilities rather than on certificate acquisition. All teachers are periodically trained in order to be able to face specific needs of children with learning problems and with poor socio-cultural support.

Katherine Zhou, MCM'18
Meet our final MCM'18 student Katherine Zhou, "My legal name is Ying Zhou but people often know me as Katherine. I was born and raised in southern China until college. I recently graduated from University of California — Los Angeles with a BS in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, and a BA in English. I have always wanted to work with wildlife since when I was in kindergarten, and was initially hoping to be a wildlife veterinarian. But after working at several wildlife rescue centers in California Wildlife Center and the Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic, as well as doing field researches in Cameroon, Africa, I realized the importance of population health in conservation and that the welfare of wildlife is tightly connected with that of the local people. Therefore I was immediately drawn by the idea of conservation medicine when I heard about the MCM program, because it involves wildlife medicine but also has focuses on population and the people in the environment. Having experienced the horrible SARS epidemic and several lethal avian flu outbreaks in southern part of China, I am also excited to learn more about the One Health approach to problems of zoonotic diseases. I have not decided whether I will be a veterinarian or a researcher in ecology, but I will spend 2 years in the field after graduating from MCM before I decide. In my spare time I write in Chinese about animals and people to a general audience, practice karate, and read classical novels. Our family pet is an orange cat named "Meow-Meow.
MS in Conservation Medicine
Conservation medicine uses a One Health approach to address urgent issues facing our planet, including emerging and resurging diseases, habitat use conflicts, environmental contamination, ecosystem and climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem function degradation.
Center for Conservation Medicine
The mission of the Tufts Center for Conservation Medicine is to advance the health of animals, people and the environment through professional training, research and service to communities around the globe, utilizing a conservation medicine approach.

We're again on the airport of Oslo, heading from north to south. While waiting for the plane, I'd like to tell you a bit about some typical nordic horses. The first one is "Nordlandshesten".
"Nordlandshest" (horse from the North lands) is an ancient Norwegian horse breed, and it's also called Lyngshest. (After the small place Lyngenfjorden in Troms.) It is the oldest of the 4 offical breeds, where the others are Fjording, Dølahest and Kaldblodstraver (trotter horse).
It's also the smallest of them all, very similar to the Islandic horse. Even if these breeds are small as ponies, they still call them horses. That's based on their strength and their capability of carrying adults on their strong backs.
The first horse show was held in 1989 in Troms, but the serious breeding started as late as 1930. They are known for beeing friendly and courageous, with a winner instinct.
That's why they are being used a lot by kids in different competitions, like jumping or trotting.
Their colors come in many variations, from red, brown, black, yellow or one basic colour with another on top. You'll even find colors as silver brown or silver black!
I have great experiences with these small horses. They are great for trail riding, and they are very intelligent and sweet. They learn fast and love being with kids. Their small bodies are leight weighted, which make them great for jumping.

The aim of the Unique Identification Number was to make access to bank accounts easier but the first Aadhaar card holder is still not eligible for loans
In September 2010, Ranjana Sonawane became the first person in the country to get an Aadhaar card when the Unique Identity (UID) project was flagged off with much fanfare in Tembhli village in Maharashtra.
But today, what is unmistakeable is the disappointment the tribal woman expresses as she stands in front of the framed photographs of her receiving the card from United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"I spent Rs.600 in getting these photographs framed. It was a big moment for me … for the villagers of Tembhli. But today, we are exactly where we were four years ago. Even the roads in our village were built only for Sonia Gandhi, not for us," Ms. Sonawane told The Hindu recently. Both she and her husband are farm labourers, earning Rs.200 each on lucky days.
Tembhli — its 1,200-strong population is entirely tribal — is a part of Nandurbar district, which has a 68 per cent tribal population. More than 70 per cent of the village migrates to western Maharashtra and Gujarat six months of the year, to work on sugarcane farms, according to Deputy Sarpanch Banshi Shendul. The day this correspondent visited the village, it wore a deserted look, with most houses locked, and only the older generation staying behind.
One of the features of the UID, a major political plank of the Congress-led UPA government, was that benefits of government schemes would be linked to its 12-digit number, making it easier for people to open and access bank accounts, secure loans and get payments of the work through Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
"UID will help the hundreds of people in India, whose pride was hurt for so many years because of the lack of an identity. This will be their source of recognition from now on," Dr. Singh had announced in Tembhli.
Identity, but no loan
There is recognition as Dr. Singh promised but no loan, said Sonawane's neighbour, Kamalbai Nigode. "My son tried to take a loan. But he was told that Adivasi people do not return the money they borrow. We are poor, so we are not eligible for loans."
"Only those with land are given loans. MNREGA payments through the Aadhar card are barely important for villagers, as we work as labourers in farms all year around," Mr. Shendul said. "What the village needs is opportunities, and the compulsory Aadhaar registration has not helped us with it."
Villagers recall every house getting new electricity meters when Ms Gandhi's visit to the village to launch Aadhaar was announced. "We all got electricity. It was like Diwali in our village. But after a few months, we could not pay the bills anymore, so our meters were taken away," 70-year-old Ms Nigode said.
"Even the electricity was for Sonia Gandhi, just to show that our village has progressed. She hasn't come back to check, has she?" she added, displaying her framed photograph from the Aadhaar ceremony.

Indoor Air Quality: Causes Of, Testing, and Monitoring Indoor Air Pollution
Testing for poor indoor air quality
Aside from keeping known pollutants out of our homes, there are several strategies for keeping the indoor air healthy. At the top of the list is maintaining proper ventilation, which can be done most easily by just opening up the windows at regular intervals (even in the winter). Using green cleaning products can help cut way back on the toxins in your home, as citrus and pine-based solvents can react with ozone to create formaldehyde. Keeping pesticides out of your garden and off your lawn can also help, as they're easy to track in on shoes and clothing. It's also important to keep filters and vents clean, as pollutants can cycle through air ducts and central heating and cooling mechanisms.
Avoiding poor indoor air quality: further reading
For further reading in TreeHugger, check out our top 5 plants for improving indoor air quality, our picks for improving the quality of the air in your homes, and read up on considerations when picking out an indoor air filter. For outside sources, we recommend checking out the US EPA's indoor air quality site, along with the US National Library of Medicine's Environmental Health and Toxicology indoor air quality section and the Medline Plus Indoor Air Pollution section.

- There's No Need for Company People to Do the Work
- Employees are Healthy and Safe
- Clean Working Environments Promote Productivity
- Workplace Equipment Can Last Longer
- The Workplace Cleanliness Impresses Customers and Clients
There's No Need for Company People to Do the Work
For many businesses, there's always the temptation to just let employees do the extra cleaning work themselves. But this doesn't seem right, because it all likelihood you didn't hire your employees for their cleaning abilities.
And to do it right, you and your employees need to go to a lot of trouble. You'll need to buy the right supplies, and then learn how to use the equipment properly. Then you'll need storage space for all your equipment. And of course, you'll also need to make sure that the cleaning is done correctly.
But using a good commercial cleaning service is actually a cost-effective way of keeping the workplace clean. The cleaning service already has the required equipment and their people know how to use them properly. And they also know how to clean a workplace well.
And while the cleaning people do their job, your employees can do the job their supposed to do. It's a much better use of their time and effort.
Employees are Healthy and Safe
It's obvious how the cleanliness of the workplace contributes to the health and safety of employees. Dirty workplaces can become the breeding ground of germs which can cause ill health and disease. This can make your people sick, and result in sick elves, absences, and tardiness.
Disorganized workplaces full of clutter and trash can also cause workplace accidents. Spilled drinks and floors cause falls that can result in serious injury. Food containers can attract pests such as cockroaches and mice that can cause sickness and accidents as well.
With a good cleaning service, all waste and dirt can be eliminated. People don't get sick due to germs, and people are just generally healthier as a result. A good cleaning service knows how to clean a workplace properly so that there are no min-outbreaks of colds and coughs among your people.
Clean Working Environments Promote Productivity
Employees are generally much more likely to work more productively when their workplace is clean and organized. It's just human nature. People don't like to work in dirty environments. What's more, people also subconsciously emulate their surroundings. Clean workplaces tend to promote neater work, while dirty workplaces often result in substandard quality of work full of errors.
The cleaning service makes sure of this productivity by cleaning the workplace regularly according to a high standard. What really adds to the morale of the workers is that they know they don't have to do the cleaning themselves. That leaves them free to concentrate on their own work, as they don't have to worry about the cleanup at the end of the working day.
Workplace Equipment Can Last Longer
It's not just people who are affected by workplace dirt and grime. Computers and other workplace equipment are also affected by the presence of too much dust in the office. The monitors may become too dirty and unclear, the keyboards may be too grimy for people to touch, the computer mice may have lots of dirt, and the dust can make computers overheat.
A good cleaning company can take care of the dust in the office so that they don't pose a problem for workplace computers, printers, and copiers. Computer mice can be cleaned regularly, and the keyboards can be wiped down and maintained so that they don't cause delays and typing errors.
The Workplace Cleanliness Impresses Customers and Clients
There's really no doubt why customers and clients prefer your business to work in a clean environment. If your workplace is dirty and disorganized, your customers and clients may feel disgusted with the surroundings. They may also think that the quality of your products and services is just as bad as the workplace. After all, they will think: if you can't care enough for your surroundings then why should you care about the quality of your goods and services?
With a good cleaning service, you can make sure that your workplace can make a good impression on every client or customer who visits your business. They can then presume that your pristine workplace also means that your products and services are just as good. They will know that you do care about the quality of your work, just as you care about the quality of your workplace.

China and Iran not intimidated
China has preferred to let other governments take the public lead in resisting U.S. pressure for new sanctions on Iran. At times Germany and Russia have served that purpose. So, President Hu Jintao was happy to let Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva denounce sanctions after their private meeting on the sidelines of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) summit in Brasilia last week. President Lula had told President Barack Obama personally of Brazil's position earlier in the week at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington. President Hu said nothing about Iran, but merely smiled like a Cheshire cat as Brazilian officials said their country had an "affinity" with China on the Iran issue. Brazil currently holds one of the rotating seats on the UN Security Council. A lead article in the April 20 issue of Global Times, a newspaper published by the Chinese Communist Party, indicated that Beijing is not intimidated by U.S. rhetoric about...(Read Full Post)

It is an intractable part of human nature to compartmentalise and categorize. Placing useless information in an arbitrary order helps us make sense of the sheer volumes of "stuff" that assaults our ageing and booze addled synapses.
In the world of beer, this amounts to deciding whether to assign bottles to shelves marked "IPA" or "Saison". But, as in any system of classification there are some very grey areas; after all, one persons "Cascadian Dark Ale, is another's "Black IPA" or "Dry-Hopped Stout"
But, if there is one category of beer that is almost universally recognised and understood, it's lager.
Lager: The great leveller, the drink of the global proletariat, the king of beers. Surely, there can be little confusing or uncertain about the world's most widely drunk booze?
As you probably know, there's a little bit more to it than that and the drink known as LAAAGERR encompasses a broad selection of bottom fermented beers: From delicate, pale Bavarian Helles, to evil, dark, grainy Doppelbocks.
One bloke who knows his way around a glass or two of lager is James Dempsey, head honcho (and only employee) of Eyeball Brewing in East Lothian. Last year he took the big step up from homebrewer to commercial production. And his beer is now reasonably available throughout Auld Reekie.
He has limited himself (for now) to a range of lagers which he claims are German inspired. But despite finding his beers well made, cheap and rather tasty, I find them quite different to the classical German styles.
Take, for example his flagship brew, the Yellowball Lager, which he claims is a pale lager. It pours a deep, burnished, buttery gold – far more colour than you would expect from a true Helles. It offers a soft, creamy head, but is only moderately gassy. Frankly, it's an attractive, yummy-looking beer, but it doesn't look very "lagery"
It's fragrant, with very pleasant aromas of warm croissants, honey and melted butter. The palate is quite sweet and crunchy like ginger nuts or baked apple. James is clearly laser focussed on the malt component of the brewer's art and it has resulted in a medium-to-full bodied beer with great length and complexity-not a clean Friday night chugger.
And fair play to him: These are great wee beers, that are keenly priced (£2.20-£2.60ish) from a small, local producer. I've been chucking them down my neck for a few months now and enjoyed every single one. They may not fit snugly into your preconceived notions of what lager should be, but you owe it to yourself to give them a shot.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Pepper Bites
At a recent event with my husband, there were trays of bite size appetizers made up of all sorts of complicated combinations floating around. The one we both seemed to enjoy most though was the simplest. A little spicy, a little sweet, a little creamy, a little crunch….. it's a perfect balance and so easy!
* You can buy peppadews in a jar but I also found them on the olive bar, of all places.
* Soy creamer worked great for me but dairy milk, half and half, whatever you have on hand would work as well.
12 peppadew peppers, seeded an drained well
4oz. goat cheese
1-2 TBSP creamer, to taste
1. Place the cheese in a small mixing bowl. Add the creamer 1 tsp. at a time and stir until the mixture reaches desired consistency. (I used 1 TBSP = 1 tsp. but the amount you use will depend on the softness of your cheese.)
2. Scoop the cheese mixture into a piping bag and fill the peppers.
3. Refrigerate if you're making these ahead of time but serve them at room temperature.

Remember the songs Ye mera dil pyaar ka deewana or Piya tu aab to aaja or Aao na gale lag jaao na? Then fleeting images of cabaret queen Helen dancing to these numbers will surely come to your mind. The voice behind such great numbers was that of Asha Bhonsle's. The Helen- Asha Bhonsle combination had also been an immensely hit pair and the two of them have delivered some hit songs for the audience to cherish even after so many years.
Asha Bhonsle fondly addressed as Asha Tai is one of the most celebrated Indian playback singers. She has sung in over thousand films in a career which spans over six decades. She is the sister of eminent playback singer Lata Mangeshkar. Having done numerous shows all over the country and also abroad, the singer has proved her versatility in the field of singing and has become an ageless voice that has inspired many budding singers. The singer was recently in Kolkata for the special episode shoot of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa's show Gaane Gaane Tomar Mone. The special episode was shot to celebrate the singer's 81st birthday.
The special episode shoot was done at Purple Movie Town studios. This episode shoot was made even special with the presence of cabaret queen Helen who had danced her heart out to numerous songs sung by Asha Bhonsle in many a film. Eminent singers like Hariharan, Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu were also present on the shoot of this special episode.
The special episode will be aired on Zee Bangla on Asha Bhonsle's birthday on the 8th of September.
Do not miss to watch the two legends on stage. A rare opportunity for the audience indeed!!

New Affordable Audiophile Studio Chooses Antares
Ex-Turnkey Managing Director Rupert Pfaff has just opened a new canalside recording studio in East London; The Limehouse, which is billed as providing audiophile recording at affordable prices, and from the looks of what's on offer it certainly seems to deliver. Rupert said "I've always valued the human voice as by far the most important and evocative element of modern music, and as such, wanted to provide my clients with not only the best quality vocal processing available, but also a diverse range of vocal-specific effects. Antares has delivered both of these in spades with Autotune Evo and the Avox suite - I really love the wide selection of processes it performs, from the subtlety of 'Warm' to the craziness of 'Mutator'." Early customers have reportedly been very happy with results, and Antares software has already seen use on the 25th Anniversary Remix of Simply Red's 'Money's Too Tight' - shh, don't tell Mick!

Double Down on Design
Michigan-based Brewers Professional Alliance specializes in production, cash flow, risk management and marketing for craft breweries, so these businesses can focus on what they do best—brew beer. BPA's goal was to increase awareness of its specialized financial expertise with a target audience of 50 existing brewery clients who were not utilizing the company's accounting services. They were also targeting new prospects, and had a campaign budget of $5,000.
Strategy & Execution
Our team was thrilled to show off our in-house design capabilities. We developed an impactful mailer that incorporated a Yeti can koozie, a half dollar with a nostalgic Ben Franklin financial quote and a custom insert card with messaging that perfectly matched BPA's voice and branding. We worked with the client to design the full-color custom packaging and mailed 150 units of the products to their office in Michigan, where they had a team in place to complete and deliver the kits.
BPA's door buster campaign was cause for a toast. More than 25% of recipients scheduled meetings with the accounting department, and of those meetings, BPA was able to close deals with 75% of the targeted clients. Fresh off the mailer, BPA requested that we help them develop a new prospecting campaign for all 15 of their core services capabilities.

The Perfect Kale Salad
Most people know that kale is one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there, but that raw kale can also be a bit rough in a salad. The trick to enjoying the most fantastic kale salad of your life is to massage the leaves and let natural acids soften them. So really, massage that kale everyone! I've been playing around with different combinations of veggies and toppings and this is by far my favorite. This really is such a refreshing salad and makes an unbelievable side dish or main meal. Plus, it's really easy to make and can be thrown together in 5 minutes after work!
There are several different varieties of kale in most supermarkets, green kale, red kale, and dino kale. I personally love green kale or red kale in here, but dino kale tends to be very rough and is better for soups and stews. Once you massage the creamy avocado and simple lime juice and apple cider vinegar in, stir some sliced fennel into your salad. Fennel might sound like a funny ingredient to eat raw, but it's just amazing. I started trying it out in everything from salads to tacos this month and just fell in love. It's a Mediterranean plant that has a wonderful licorice flavor and fantastic crunch to it. It's loaded with vitamins and antioxidants too, so it's a wonderful detox veggie. Make sure to cut off the long stalks and the end of it before slicing and to slice parallel to the end of the bulb. That makes it a lot easier to get nice thin slices.
Raw spiralized beets are just the most amazing topping to this salad. They add another extra crunch and some fantastic color and are so perfect for summer. If your beet is really big, just slice it in half and save the other half for a juice or another salad.
I love topping this with baked chickpeas and pumpkin seeds when I'm really hungry and want to make a meal out of this dish.
Serves 2
Total Time: 10 Minutes
Salad Ingredients:
- 1 large bundle fresh green kale
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1 small or ½ large beet, spiralized
Vinegarete Ingredients:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- A dash of salt
- A dash of pepper
Optional toppings:
- Roasted chickpeas
- Pumpkin seeds
To make the salad, start by washing the kale leaves and removing the leaves from the stalks and putting them into a large bowl. Next, add the avocado, lemon, and apple cider vinegar to the kale and massage the ingredients into the leaves. Keep working them in until kale leaves begin to soften. Next, wash the fennel bulb, chop off the end and the stalks coming out of the bulb. You're going to slice the fennel into ¼ inch pieces that go well with the salad. It's make your slices parallel to the end of the bulb. Add the fennel to the salad, then toss until mixed.
Now we're ready for toppings! First wash and peel the beet, then use a spiralizer to work it into noodles. You can use a vegetable peeler if you don't have a spiralizer. Add the beets to the top of the salad. For the dressing, simply combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper together and pour on top of the salad. Now you're ready to enjoy!

Seven strangers journey to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, to investigate reports of miracles. Join them as they search for answers to life's big questions on APPARITION HILL.
How did we get here? How did everything get here - our planet, our solar system ... our universe?
For generations, science has ignored the concept of creation because doing otherwise would beg the question ... of a Creator. Today, however, we have compelling evidence - from science itself - for a beginning and fine-tuning of the universe. The insights are complementary, and that very fact provides evidence of a transcendent, intelligent Creator.
Cosmic Origins explores those insights. Executive Producer Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D., is a philosopher, educator, author and former President of Gonzaga University. He is founder and President of the Magis Institute for Faith and Reason, an organization dedicated to public education on the relationship among the disciplines of physics, philosophy, reason, and faith.
This fascinating film features Fr. Spitzer and a group of physicists and academic heavyweights exploring modern scientific theories about how the universe came to exist. Joining Fr. Spitzer are Nobel Laureate Arno Penzias (who discovered the background radiation from the Big Bang), Templeton Prize winners John Polkinghorne (Cambridge) and Michael Heller (Vatican Observatory), Owen Gingerich (Harvard), Lisa Randall (Harvard), Jennifer Wiseman (NASA) and Stephen Barr (University of Delaware), who narrates the film.Throughout the journey, viewers learn that modern scientific paths point toward a very Christian understanding of how we came to be.
Cosmic Origins explains what we know about the beginning and nature of the universe, as well as its transcendent implications in clear, easy-to-understand terms. The film weaves together a compelling narrative from academics and credentialed scientists pointing toward a very Christian understanding of how the universe came to exist.
Cosmic Origins expertly conveys a vital and important message for everyone - our Christian faith is not disproven by modern science, but rather corroborated by it.
This is a Region 1 DVD (playable ONLY in Bermuda, Canada, the Cayman Islands, United States and U.S. territories).

In 1948 Aurora Marin arrives with her family at the convent of the Canossian Sisters of Schio, Italy, where Sister Bakhita has just died. Aurora was hoping to see her before she died. She gathers her children around the picture of Bakhita and tells them of the incredible life of the woman that had raised her as her nanny.
Born in a village in Sudan, kidnapped by slavers, often beaten and abused, and later sold to Federico Marin, a Venetian merchant, Bakhita then came to Italy and became the nanny servant of Federico's daughter, Aurora, who had lost her mother at birth. She is treated as an outcast by the peasants and the other servants due to her black skin and African background, but Bakhita is kind and generous to others. Bakhita gradually comes closer to God with the help of the kind village priest, and embraces the Catholic faith.
She requests to join the order of Canossian sisters, but Marin doesn't want to give her up as his servant, treating her almost as his property. This leads to a moving court case that raised an uproar which impacts Bakhita's freedom and ultimate decision to become a nun. Pope John Paul II declared her a saint in the year 2000. Directed by Giacamo Campiotti (St. Giuseppe Moscati, Doctor Zhivago) and stars Fatou Kine Boye, Stefania Rocca, Fabio Sartor, Ettore Bassi, and Francesco Salvi.

So, looking to that Labour shortlist...
First up is Cllr Ralph Berry, the current Bradford executive member for Children and Young People's Services (yes, that's his job) . He's an old-school Labour politician, sponsored by the Co-Op and (of course) the ultimate rulers of the Party, the Unite Union. Therefore, as you'd expect, he's about furthering the ends of the party's clients in the unions and the public sector. Oddly, despite being a councillor for Wibsey, he chooses to live in Saltaire. Which isn't in this constituency either. Basically, he's been looking for a seat for a while, getting on the shortlist for Bradford West before the Galloway explosion.
His various messages on his website run through Labour policy at a rate of knots, and the impact the 'Tory-led coalition' (sigh) are having on his hopefully soon-to-be constituents. What he doesn't actually do, however, is talk very much about Ilkley. It's always an after-thought...
Keighley and Ilkley people just cannot afford another Tory /Liberal government.
schools throughout Keighley and Ilkley report their worries about the affect the recession is having on our children
Yep, bet the Ilkley ones are...(and, yes, he does mean 'effect', but I don't do grammar flames, even of someone who's in charge of schools)
Sorry, actually that's it. The only mentions of Ilkley.
So, he knows his core vote and he's pursuing it. But then, the Ilkley end of the local Labour Party isn't seemingly supporting him, so this might be sensible.
However, he does have a good story to tell. As Head of education, he's able to spin that Bradford schools have been improving on his watch. But they're still way behind the national average (and that local average is dragged upwards by the good schools in places like, you know, Ilkley), and not everyone agrees.
The real problem for Berry, though, will be the Hamzah Khan story. Despite an 'independent inquiry' which basically came to the conclusion that no-one was to blame, and it would probably happen again, it's unlikely to rest there. While the council officer ultimately responsible for the department will be in the firing line, Berry's name will be mentioned in connection over and over again. Will the Labour party risk two years of that?
The man working the Ilkley end of the Labour Party is Henri Murison, described brilliantly in the Gusset as 'Addingham Man', and by the Ilkley Labour facebook page as 'Our 'enri' (note that common touch...). He's an interesting chap, our 'enri. Only 29 now (and, looking at his photos, in possession of only one 'country-type' shirt), he was, until recently, a member of the 'cabinet' at Newcastle Council in charge of 'Quality of Life'. There he led an interesting project on problem drinking, including introducing the first minimum pricing model in the country. And he also (hold your breath Ilkley) led on new house building, eventually giving way to NIMBYs and agreeing to prioritize building on brownfield sites first.
He;s no friend of the old-left though. His announcement of standing for the Ilkley seat led to some robust twittering from GMT union people in the North-East which put his claims to speak on behalf of the deprived into some context. Murison's recent career is also somewhat chequered. He declared he would run for Police Commissioner of Northumbria (a nice little earner), Then, mysteriously, withdrew. Then came the decision to leave the NOrth-East to follow his wife to Yorkshire. Which resulted in a rather plum job working for the West Yorkshire Police Commissioner (at £41,000pa), in which he lasted five months, before leaving for the 'private sector'. According to his current biog, he works in 'financial services', but that seems to leave enough time to accept donations in Ilkley on behalf of Churches Together, run a food bank (yes, in Ilkley) and campaign for a 'living wage' (aka the god-given right to buy a linen shirt, again in Ilkley). Either all this is clever building of his position in Ilkley, or he's rather under-employed. (EDIT: Mr Murison has contacted me to say he has a full-time job with a mutual)
Mainly, though, he;s a New Labour drone. His twitter feed is a relentless list of re-tweets of the official party position. Still, we wish him well in his search for a job. And sure his disturbing resemblance to a certain shop owner from Royston Vasey won't be held against him.
And then there's John Grogan, ex-MP who more recently was 'persuaded by friends' to step forward. Grogan was MP for Selby from the Blair landslide until 2010, when boundary changes led to him standing down. During that 13 years, he seems to have done the square root of bugger all, though that he retained the seat in 2005 suggests a good local following. He's a classic modern NuLab illliberal, supporting the Iraq War, strongly supporting ID cards, top up tuition fees, the smoking ban, etc, plus being a strong pro-European (and being an ex-MEP). Currently lives in Burley (so outside the constituency). Interestingly, declared trips to Qatar (useful for a future World Cup), and was Chair of the all-party group on Mongolia (which does provide a small link to the constituency as the one-time home of the Wool Board which had strong links with Mongolia). He also campaigned for more transparency from lobbying companies. Grogan does talk a lot about the separate identities of the towns.
Grogan didn't escape all the expenses furore. He always had expenses in the top 10% in the country, and usually the highest of any MP in Yorkshire (yes, even higher than Ed Balls). To give him credit, his expenses were published by him rather than the Daily telegraph, but, still...he claimed for a tea trolley, a DVD player, and phone and website charges. The biggest expense, though, was the cost of renting a flat in leafy Bayswater, and travel back to the constituency. So £140-160,000 each year probably seems like good value. And, when 'retiring' he received a resettlement allowance (PDF) of £32,383. I assume, should he be elected once more, he will be paying this back.
He also, according to gossip, once confused the Spanish and Portuguese embassies.
And the rank outsider (and not just as the only woman and only Asian on the list, also the only one no longer on twitter) is Councillor Kaneez Akhtar. Not a huge amount to say about her, she appears to be a diligent local councillor for Keighley Central. Works in the Labour Party's client state in social housing. She was short-listed in this constituency (when it had an all-woman shortlist) last time out
Nobody's taking bets on this as far as I'm aware...

Even digital at JWT is about creative storytelling: Matt Eastwood
The Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of JWT makes a strong case for creativity over hard-core technology and insists the agency will always be driven by ideas, human insight
Published - Nov 6, 2014 8:50 AM Updated: Nov 6, 2014 8:50 AM
Matt Eastwood joined JWT as Worldwide Chief Creative Officer in July 2014, assuming a position that had been unfilled ever since Craig Davis left in 2009. One of the most awarded Chief Creative Officers worldwide, Eastwood's illustrious career includes working for agencies like DDB New York, DDB Australia, Y&R New York, & M&C Saatchi London.
In a conversation with exchange4media, Eastwood, who believes in being 'nice to the people, tough on the work,' talks about the positive pressure that comes with the job, his observations on Indian advertising culture that borders on 'gossipy', factors that give a campaign an 'edge' and creativity becoming less of a commodity. Excerpts.
What was your approach to taking on a leadership role that hasn't seen a leadership since 2009, and was handled by regional leaders prior to your joining ?
The interesting thing is that there are things that have fallen away during that time, things that we haven't done, that we need to do. The exciting thing for me is that some of those solutions are so obvious so they just need to be put in place. The fact that there hasn't been a Global Chief Creative Officer for that many years, I have found that people within our network have embraced me in such a fantastic way. They really want creative leadership, when I give creative presentations they are really crying out. People are not angry that they didn't have anyone but they are excited that they have someone.
What is your agenda?
The big thing is a focus on creativity. The great thing is I have a partner in Gustavo Martinez who is really committed to that idea of creativity being the differentiator. If you look at the fact that he started in February and his major hire was me, it signifies that this is the most important thing for him and for the network. We are a great creative brand and in India we are probably the No. 1 and the most awarded agency this year. It's not like we have a deficiency but globally putting that emphasis on creativity is a big thing. Playing off that, the second biggest thing is creative consistency. It's really important; particularly for our global brands. We can't just be good in 12 markets. We have 200 offices, we have to be good across the world. That's one of things I am doing, working on creative consistency, how can we bring all our work upto the quality of our best work. It doesn't happen overnight but holding people's feet to the fire and giving them a benchmark to judge themselves by and then encouraging them and giving them tools and programmes to be able to get there, is how we will eventually lift the quality across everything. Like any other network, our digital revenues continue to grow. We want to make sure we continually bring in new and interesting talent in that space to cope with what's happening.
What are the factors that give a campaign an edge in your view?
The best advertising comes from a really strong human insight. If you don't have that, you don't end up doing work that resonates and is relevant to people. It is all about spending enough time on strategy coupling it with human insight and finding a unique take on it. I think we're in an era where people are less and less differentiating advertising from content. If you want me to watch your ad, then make it great, interesting, funny, emotional. That's great for the industry because it puts pressure on clients and agencies to deliver work that consumers are going to want to view, whereas in old days you could just push out whatever you wanted.
How is JWT coping with disruption that technology is bringing in?
For me there's either a pure sort of systematic technology-driven ideas or there's story telling advertising… At JWT we'll tell stories and we will be idea-led in terms of the digital approach, whether Facebook or wherever it might be. There's a whole other group of companies who are much more about hard core technology and we've made the decision as a company that we don't want to be that. We will always do digital-led idea story telling.
What about Indian advertising needs to change in your view ?
The thing I've discovered is Indian advertising culture can be really gossipy and talk about each other and I much prefer an industry that supports each other. If we're positive about each other and the industry and don't say negative things about other agencies and other people, I think the industry gets better. Our reputation gets better and clients value us more.
Do you think creativity is increasingly viewed as commodity?
I actually think the opposite. Creativity is becoming less of a commodity. I think clients have become much more aware of the value of creativity, particularly driven by social media and digital in a way that a great idea will be seized by people and viewed and shared. Creativity is the differentiator and that's made evident by some of the world's biggest clients. In the old days they were with networks that could deliver their work around the world and that was fine but now they are very happy to go to small, independent shops and get creativity from them. They don't care… they'll get someone else to do the delivery but they just want great creative. That means creativity is high on their agenda. Pressure is on network agencies, it's a positive pressure. It's more of a joyful pressure than a scary pressure.

How to Measure the Viewer's Appreciation of Your Marketing Video
Ideally, the viewers or your marketing videos are active — for example, they subscribe to your channel or write comments. YouTube Analytics gives you insight into these categories of user behavior under the Engagement Reports menu:
Subscribers: The subscription report shows you how many people have subscribed or unsubscribed to your channel in a given timeframe.
Because subscribers are informed of all your new videos, you should have as many videos as possible.
Likes and dislikes: Now that YouTube has replaced its five-star rating system with the simpler like-or-dislike approach, you can see how many people have reacted to your videos positively or negatively.
Encourage as many viewers as possible to click the Like button next to your videos because these votes of approval also boost your exposure in other parts of YouTube, such as search results.
Favorites: Viewers sometimes give you the ultimate compliment by adding your video to their lists of favorites. Be aware, however, that some viewers use their Favorites lists to simply bookmark videos they want to watch later.
Comments: Users often provide feedback by leaving their remarks on an individual video's page. (Not all comments are positive, of course.)
Sharing: Viewers often share videos directly on their social media pages (such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google+), and sometimes they even embed them on their own blogs. Viewers can share videos outside of YouTube — for example, by adding a video's URL to a tweet — though this type of sharing isn't counted in YouTube Analytics.
Audience retention: When you use a video heat map to find out how much of a video viewers have watched, you can determine which content viewers like — or, rather, at what point they stopped watching.
Many people stop viewing shortly after a video begins, or near the middle, and only one-third of viewers, on average, watch the entire video. The more people who watch a video until the end, the better its content has resonated with your audience.
To compare your YouTube videos with others of similar length, click the Relative Audience Retention button.
Focus on the most important metrics when you analyze user behavior. The biggest influence on valuable viewer traffic is likely sharing via social media. Channel subscriptions are also important ways to gain loyal viewers, and audience retention tells you a lot about how much people truly value your content. Comments on YouTube are slightly less important than comments from other social media sites, so don't obsess over them.

It's no secret that substance use, especially among teens and young adults, is a major issue these days. Most efforts are focused on either reducing the drug supply or treating the consequences of drug addiction. In terms of reducing supply, our thinking seems to be that if we can keep the substances regulated, out of the country altogether or intercept the illegal distribution lines then we will have less drug use. There's a reasonable logic to that approach but long-term it is a losing battle because there is a seemingly infinite supply of illicit and prescription drugs waiting to be poured into the consumer pipeline.
But what if we focused more on the demand side of the equation? The best preventative means that we have against future addiction in our youth is to help create a protective barrier against substance addiction in the earliest stages of a child's development. Neuroscience has given us valuable insights into how important the first three years of brain development is for a child.
Interaction Builds a Child's Brain
We know that reliable, consistent and caring relationships with adults are critical for healthy brain development in a child. These relationships provide what is sometime called "serve and return" interactions between the child and adult. The child does the "serving" through making sounds, eye contact and gestures — their primary ways of communicating in those early months of life. The adult caregiver does the "returning" by responding to those forms of communication with receptive eye contact, gestures, words and hugs. When the caregiver accurately interprets and appropriately responds to the child's signals, not only is a secure relationship being built between the parent and child but neural pathways in the brain are being built as well. These paths form the foundation for all learning, behavior and health for that child's life now and into adulthood.
Impairments to Healthy Brain Development
When those serve-and-return interactions are infrequent or don't exist because the child is neglected, abused or exposed to substance abuse, mental illness, terrorizing experiences or an absent parent it shuts down the development of a lot of those neural pathways. Instead of positive stimulation, which builds healthy neural connections, harmful stress hormones are released that can disrupt physical, mental and emotional health as the child grows. The more adversity a child faces in those early years, the more likely he or she will be to experience physical, emotional and mental problems later in life. These problems — which include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, insomnia, many physical conditions and virtually all forms of addiction — can be viewed as largely originating in the child's early exposure to trauma in one form or another.
There is a lot of research that confirm the idea that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the early years of life are a major factor in the development of substance use disorders. So, viewed from this angle, substance use is not merely a diagnosable condition but a symptom of the inner pain and brokenness the person feels on a regular basis. The drugs dull the inner pain, making life more tolerable than it would be otherwise.
How to Keep Kids Off Drugs
So back to addiction prevention for children and teens: If we want to reduce the demand for substances and create an environment that is protective against addictive behaviors in the younger generation, I propose that we put more of our energy into helping parents create those nurturing serve-and-return relationships with their very young children. Here are three important ways parents can begin that process:
- Be attentive and responsive to your child's needs. Their immediate needs often involve providing closeness, reassurance, food, diaper-changing or comfort. Respond quickly with a warm, nurturing presence and voice. This helps a child feel safe and secure and sends the message that it's okay to have needs and to ask for them to be met.
- Be generous with holding, touching and snuggling with your child. Gentle, appropriate and caring touch is a critical need for young children. Touch is the lifeline to a secure attachment between parent and child but also for toddlers and preschoolers. Touch provides reassurance, builds trust and fosters contentment in your child.
- Be careful not to overstimulate your child. If you watch your child's communication signals closely you will be able to tell when they're feeling overstimulated or stressed. For example, they might turn away, cry, cover their face, become upset or seem frustrated. This is your cue to reduce the stimulation by moving to another room, holding the child or preparing them for sleep.
These parental skills are only a starting point for reducing the risk of substance use later in life. But, parents who start off with this type of attunement to their child's needs have a much greater likelihood of creating a secure parent-child relationship, a healthy brain and resilience to normal life adversity. With those rich relational, emotional and physical resources in place, you're giving your child the best hedge against addiction possible.

When Charles Matthews announced he was staying at Michigan for his third season instead of leaving early for the NBA two months ago, the move was met with fanfare.
It was viewed as a wise decision since Matthews wasn't invited to the NBA Draft Combine — a sign teams might not think he's ready for the next level yet — has room to improve as a shooter and ball-handler, and likely would've faced long odds of being drafted.
But, apparently, there was another underlying reason.
More: Robinson: Wrist injury spurred Matthews' return to UM
In a lengthy interview on The Ringer's "One Shining Podcast" this week, former Michigan forward Duncan Robinson revealed Matthews injured his wrist during the pre-draft process and said that was the leading factor that led to his return.
"He was going to leave, honestly, but he ended up hurting his wrist," Robinson said about Matthews toward the end of the interview, which touched on topics from Michigan's NCAA Tournament run to his recent signing of a two-way contract with the Miami Heat.
"He missed some workouts so he decided to come back because he wasn't able to work out for some teams."
It was reported Matthews had at least two pre-draft workouts — with the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks — during the week before the May 30 early entrant withdrawal deadline. However, Robinson didn't say when or how Matthews suffered the injury, nor did he specify the severity of it.
Robinson added, though, staying in Ann Arbor and playing another season under coach John Bielein is in Matthews' best interest. Matthews is already projected as a late first-round pick by ESPN and ranked No. 39 in Sports Illustrated's top 60 prospects for the 2019 draft.
"I think it'll probably be a good decision for him in the long run," Robinson said.

News Release 11-268
Badwater Basin: Death Valley Microbe Thrives There
Discovery may lead to novel biotech and nanotech uses
December 22, 2011
View a video showing the bacteria BW-1 swimming in the direction of the magnetic field.
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
Nevada, the "Silver State," is well-known for mining precious metals.
But scientists Dennis Bazylinski and colleagues at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) do a different type of mining.
They sluice through every water body they can find, looking for new forms of microbial magnetism.
In a basin named Badwater on the edge of Death Valley National Park, Bazylinski and researcher Christopher Lefèvre hit pay dirt.
Lefèvre is with the French National Center of Scientific Research and University of Aix-Marseille II.
In this week's issue of the journal Science, Bazylinski, Lefèvre and others report that they identified, isolated and grew a new type of magnetic bacteria that could lead to novel biotech and nanotech uses.
Magnetotactic bacteria are simple, single-celled organisms that are found in almost all bodies of water.
As their name suggests, they orient and navigate along magnetic fields like miniature swimming compass needles.
This is due to the nano-sized crystals of the minerals magnetite or greigite they produce.
The presence of these magnetic crystals makes the bacteria and their internal crystals--called magnetosomes--useful in drug delivery and medical imaging.
The research was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Energy and the French Foundation for Medical Research.
"The finding is significant in showing that this bacterium has specific genes to synthesize magnetite and greigite, and that the proportion of these magnetosomes varies with the chemistry of the environment," said Enriqueta Barrera, program director in NSF's Division of Earth Sciences.
While many magnetite-producing bacteria can be grown and easily studied, Bazylinski and his team were the first to cultivate a greigite-producing species. Greigite is an iron sulfide mineral, the equivalent of the iron oxide magnetite.
"Because greigite-producing bacteria have never been isolated, the crystals haven't been tested for the types of biomedical and other applications that currently use magnetite," said Bazylinski.
"Greigite is an iron sulfide that may be superior to magnetite in some applications due to its slightly different physical and magnetic properties. Now we have the opportunity to find out."
Researchers found the greigite-producing bacterium, called BW-1, in water samples collected more than 280 feet below sea level in Badwater Basin. Lefèvre and Bazylinski later isolated and grew it leading to the discovery that BW-1 produces both greigite and magnetite.
A detailed look at its DNA revealed that BW-1 has two sets of magnetosome genes, unlike other such bacteria, which produce only one mineral and have only one set of magnetosome genes.
This suggests that the production of magnetite and greigite in BW-1 is likely controlled by separate sets of genes. That could be important in the mass production of either mineral for specific applications.
According to Bazylinski, the greigite-producing bacteria represent a new, previously unrecognized group of sulfate-reducing bacteria that "breathe" the compound sulfate rather than oxygen as most living organisms do.
"With how much is known about sulfate-reducing bacteria, it's surprising that no one has described this group," he said.
Working with Bazylinski and Lefèvre on the project are David Pignol of the French National Center of Scientific Research and University of Aix-Marseille II; Nicolas Menguy of Pierre and Marie Curie University, France; Fernanda Abreu and Ulysses Lins of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Mihaly Pósfai of the University of Pannonia, Hungary; Tanya Prozorov of Ames Laboratory, Iowa; and Richard Frankel of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

It's the same story each time.
The Kolkata police refused to believe that rape was possible inside a car [Link]. The Gurgaon pub attendant was reported to have walked willingly to the rapists' car [Link] Noida rape vicitm was accused of drinking Vodka [Link] And now Bangalore rape victim is being accused of resorting to drama to gain sympathy.
Why doesn't the police investigate instead of judging?
Do you think rape victims can't sense this? Do you think they find this attitude of the police reassuring?
But once the mikes are switched off and pens sheathed, the officers and administrators launch into a barrage of innuendos and insinuations against the victim.
Here's what The Times of India gleaned from top officers and administrators:
"She was rusticated last year by her university due to shortage of attendance. This year, too, she has an attendance problem. She is resorting to this drama to gain the varsity authorities' sympathy," the source added.
However, TOI's inquiries with NLSIU sources revealed that the girl has not had any attendance problems till date. [Link]
Some more allegations:
1. The girl and her male companion "became friend … through a social networking site two weeks ago. They had met on Saturday and had gone out for the first time" [Link]
If they suspect the male companion was responsible, are they investigating that angle?
2. Her clothes were in tatters, but no physical injuries were evident on her…. [Link]
Medical report?
3. …the forested area has been closed for vehicles at night. They say that the duo might have sneaked in. [Link]
Now, is that relevant?
4. …the girl bore no injury or struggle marks during the medical examination. [Link]
(But they are still waiting for the medical report)
And finally if you can't prove there was no rape, try to prove the victim was responsible for the assault.
Related Posts:
There are some inconsistencies in what this rape victim is alleging.
"The rape victim had gone there willingly. She was not lured into it. They drank vodka."
"Girls should be married at 16, so that they don't need to go elsewhere for their sexual needs. This way rapes will not occur."
Gurgaon pub attendant gang rape victim: Went willingly? Refused medical test?

Summit Entertainment is pretty happy with themselves this weekend with their Twilight sequel New Moon already breaking loads of sales records in just the first day. It surely seems now that rushing the film into production after last November's success of the first book in Stephanie Meyer's vampire novel series was a good idea. Continuing the momemtum and hype, the third installment Eclipse has already wrapped filming and is set for a summer release, only half a year away.
Check out after the jump for a list of ridiculously high financial stats for New Moon coming in from reports everywhere.
With the expected (and now realized) opening success of New Moon, I am surprised that in my screening of the movie, there were no trailers for other major upcoming films - What we saw instead was all just for upcoming movies from Summit and E1 Entertainment and no other studios took advantage of the masses of eager moviegoers sitting in packed theaters everywhere.
Here are the numbers reported from Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood as of this morning:
- Debuted at around $72 million in 4024 theaters but results still coming in.
- Breaks the record for Friday opening and single day sales ($67 million from The Dark Knight).
- The Friday totals include the insanely high midnight screenings that brought in 26.27 million from 3514 theaters - this beats both The Dark Knight and the latest Harry Potter.
- Tracking for a $125 opening weekend which is still under numbers for the third Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight or Spider-Man 3.
- Last year's Twilight brought in just under $70 million so this one is destroying it as well as expectations which had the movie likely getting close to Iron Man numbers around $100 million.
Fandango is reporting that New Moon is selling 10 tickets/second throughout Friday and it's the number one advanced ticket seller of all time for them.
What do you think of the box-office success of the Twilight films so far and what do you expect from next year's installment?
If you missed it, check out Screen Rant's New Moon Review.
Directed by Chris Weitz, New Moon stars Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene - it's playing everywhere currently. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens June 30, 2010 and is directed by David Slade.

A house with walls full of water : this is the idea that has proven a Hungarian architect. The thermal inertia and power insulation of these panels reduce energy consumption much.
"Imagine a building without insulation, but whose interior benefits from an ideal thermal balance thanks to the properties of water, "sums Matyas Gutai, 34, who develops his project and registered the patent, step by step, for 10 years.
Far from Geneva, where he has just negotiated a preliminary agreement preparatory to the Paris conference on climate (cop21) end of the year, the inventor has built a prototype in his hometown, Kecskemet, south of Budapest.
Most building walls are glass panels folded, the intervals are filled with water. Exposed to the sun, they absorb heat. The water restored when the weather turns cold, like a convector.
The need for sources of heat outside, and hence power consumption, are limited. The concept of "home water" provides excellent insulation, even though the walls measured only five centimeters thick a savings supplementary, this time in building materials.
