Update: MPR/tpt hip-hop event postponed indefinitely
A coalition of members of the Minnesota hip-hop community have spoken out against a proposed event intended to be a celebration of the local scene. On Monday, an open letter to Minnesota Public Radio and Twin Cities Public Television was distributed requesting that the May 10 event be postponed.
Update (4/2/14): 89.3 the Current has responded to the letter, and the event has been postponed indefinitely while "continuing a dialogue between the institution, the organizers, and the community."

The names at the bottom of the hip-hop community's open letter include co-host of the Current's hip-hop program H2, Kevin Beacham, who is expected to be an organizer of the event. Several names of members of a panel to discuss the event held last week at Intermedia Arts -- Slug, Guante, Desdamona, and Toki Wright -- also are on the letter. Their stated goal is "an intentional, sustainable, mutually beneficial partnership and collaboration."
The rest of the names on the document include BDotCroc, Keno Evol, Manuel Levins Holden, Tish Jones, Tou Saiko Lee, I Self Devine (Chaka Mkali), Mastermind, Brother Ali, and D'Allen White.
According to a detailed Local Current blog describing the planning process and mission of the event released last week after the meeting:
The goals for the May 10 event at the Fitz have not changed significantly since the planning began, but we recognized that we could do a much better job stating those goals publicly. Here are the key things we hope to provide with this event:The open letter, which circulated on Tuesday, notes that the public radio and TV institutions "should be applauded" for their willingness to reach out, but given the scope of the event, "more voices at the table, more elements of our community represented, and a more intentional, transparent planning process" are requested.
A celebration and sampling of some of the great things that the Minnesota hip-hop scene has to offer, presented in a way that honors and represents the community;
- A performance-based event with some discussion of what drives and inspires artists, and what makes Minnesota unique; and
A boost in exposure for talented artists who may not be on the radar of the existing tpt, Current, and Fitzgerald Theater audiences.
The upcoming event at the Fitz is not a one-off occurrence for tpt and MPR; rather, we hope that it will be just one of the many pieces of dialogue that will take place this spring and summer.
Gimme Noise contacted several members of last week's panel regarding the letter, but did not receive any replies.
"We want to continue this conversation and have a deeper dialogue with TPT and the event production team before any decisions are made," MPR said in a statement.
Here is the letter:
Update (4/2/14): The lineup for the event was expected to be announced on 89.3 the Current on Tuesday, April 1. But instead, the Current's Andrea Swensson -- one of the event's co-organizers -- posted an open response to the hip-hop community's letter.
"This is an opportunity and a positive step forward," she says. "If we're going to put on a show of this scale and make it something that the community can be proud of, then we need the time and the breathing room to do it right."
Here's the response, signed by Swensson, the Current program director Jim McGuinn, and MPR president/CEO Jon McTaggert:
Update (4/7/14): Here is a statement from TPT and MN Original:
We understand and are fully supportive of the decision by our friends and colleagues at MPR to postpone this production. Twin Cities Public Television (tpt) and MN Original look forward to continuing our good work with the hip hop community and Minnesota's entire artistic community.Where the process goes from here is uncertain. In Swensson's words: "I don't know exactly what the next steps will be, or what this event (or events?) will look like after working more closely with the community. But I do know that I am eager, open, and curious to see what we can build when we all work together."
Dianne Steinbach
David Roth
The entire MN Original staff
This is an opportunity for growth, compromise, and understanding for both sides. Intersecting the worlds of public radio and television stations with a raw and boundless Minnesota hip-hop landscape was never going to be easy, but it feels like both parties are on the right path.

It should be reflective of you and feel welcoming to the people you love and entertain. A killer conversation piece doesn't hurt either. Though furniture is often taken for granted, it's the anchor of your space and a few special pieces can have transformative power. Our latest Home Lookbook, Spring, By Design features our lovely Director of Fine Art & Home Decor, Kim Brown's top picks for the ultimate refresh to suit any taste.How do you create cohesion in a room or home while featuring different styles? KB: Tonal colors and wood finishes help to keep things consistent without being too matchy-matchy. I am a bit more eclectic so I am not bothered by mixing patterns and prints — I actually like to do that. But the colors need to be in the same family; things can't be too chaotic or too bright.Do you like to build a room around one piece or let things you collect come together naturally? Do you do switch things out slowly over time or make dramatic changes? KB: I am a huge advocate of buying what you love, as everything has a story. So my collection is growing slowly. Furniture stays a good bit of time at my house but I change out the decor and accessories often to keep things relevant and fresh. Great furniture is an investment — best to keep it around for awhile.Do you have any favorite pieces from the lookbook? KB: I love everything! But my favorite piece of all time is the Eames LCW Chair (I am lucky enough to own two!). The one we have featured is extra special as it's from the Limited Edition of 100th Anniversary Chairs produced in rosewood veneer. Numbered 373 of 500. Simply gorgeous. Forever an icon. Always in style.Any current obsessions when it comes to furniture and decor? KB: YES! Too many amazing items come through our doors! I feel like I want to buy something from our site every day. Current obsessions are an Hermès Avalon blanket (another forever icon but I never find them soon enough) and a Saarinen Executive Chair for my daughter's room as her desk chair. I spied one with a custom fabric in mauve and it's literally setting the tone for her "big girl room."What's the easiest/quickest way to update your space this spring? KB: Fresh throw pillows and new art! Also velvet is such a great texture and adds new dimension, especially in cool colors like green or topaz. I'm loving jewel tones for brightness and depth.What should you look for when investing in new pieces? KB: Condition, construction and authenticity!

Authenticity Tracker
It's important and reassuring to know that the honey in the jars you buy lives up to the descriptions on the outside of the jars.
Sadly that's not always the case, so at Berringa we want to demonstrate the integrity of our honey.
Berringa track honey from source to jar (and you can track your Berringa honey using our Authenticity Tracker).
We have each batch independently tested using Australian Government NATA certified laboratories.
The Authenticity Tracker is easy to use. All you need to do is type in the batch number, located on the back of your jar of Berringa Manuka Honey (see image below to help you locate the batch number).
The Tracker then provides a reading of the actual MGO level for that jar, as independently tested by a NATA accredited laboratory.

The craziest ending to a game this weekend occurred in a college basketball game between Weber State and Sacramento State of the Big Sky Conference.
Following a turnover with seven seconds remaining in overtime and Weber State holding a 1-point lead, a pair of technical fouls led to four made free throws for Sacramento State and a 3-point lead.
Davion Berry of Weber State then hit a long off-balance 3-pointer to tie the game with 0.7 seconds remaining.
Not to be outdone, Dylan Garrity of Sacramento State took the quick inbounds pass and sank a 75-foot shot for the win.
Amazingly, this came after a horrible end to regulation in which neither team scored in the final 2:52 of the second half to force overtime (video via Deadspin.com)

In an effort to support my own well-being and quality work time and to help change these cultural pressures, I limit the amount of time I spend responding to emails and often don't check email on weekends.

books, catalogues, manuals, text books, pricelists and multi-page documents
We love working on the bigger books and catalogues, it gives us something to really get our teeth into. This is quite a specialist area of design that can involve some complex layout, a thought to user experience and make sure your intent is clearly conveyed and is easy for the reader to navigate.
Where possible, we like to sit down with you — the author, publisher, content creator or business owner — to ensure we have a good understanding of the overall plan brief. We then layout the content in stages for you to review.
Some documents may include a vast array of product images, illustrations, graphs, information tables, exercises and even games. Some can even have accompanying CD ROMS, which we can produce, in house - subject to brief of course.
Our catalogue design capability is highly innovative. We have devised and used a proven and tested "merging" system that cuts data entry in half and makes for more accurate data transfer as the information is only handled once not twice and can reduce the design cost of other traditional designers. Suited to all types of documents with highly repetitive data.
It is recommended that we organise or assist the printing of books, catalogues and other multi-page publications. As there is a solid investment in the artwork — let's get the whole project right. Our printing prices don't cost the Earth. We are print brokers and negotiate the best deals and have access to trade prices so you win.
Once your booklet or catalog document is designed, we can put it online in a page turning book-like format for your clients to view at any time.
Call now 03 9598 9220

- Once your multipage document is designed — even if we didn't design it — we can put it online, in a page turning book like format for your clients to view at any time.
- Send us your word document or pdf > we press some buttons > we give you the link > done!
- We then also give you some code, so you can put it on your website.

Oreo is upping the ante on VR advertising with a 360-degree look inside the Oreo Wonder Vault that inspired filled, cupcake-flavored OREO cookies.
Oreo parent company Mondelēz was an early entrant in the burgeoning virtual reality social media space, but this marks the company's first branded VR content shared with fans on social media. For the best experience, the brand recommends using a Google Headset.
When Facebook started testing 360-degree video ads with a handful of brands last year including AT&T, Samsung and Nestle, Mondelēz created a US holiday campaign for Ritz crackers with a 360-degree video showing a single family's holiday party over a 40-year span, capturing smaller moments a traditional camera may have missed.
The Oreo Wonder Vault was introduced last month as the epicenter of cookie exploration for taste-testing before new flavors are released to a world hungry for innovative treats like hello Birthday Cake or calling all Marshmallow Crispy lovers.
Oreo teased the newest combo of two favorite desserts—cupcakes and cookies—earlier this month in New York at a Wonder Vault pop-up, painting the front of a warehouse garage door Oreo blue, carving out a lifesize cookie door, and enticing curious confectioners to open the portal, pull a lever and sample the cookies sliding down a conveyer belt.
As VR continues to be a hot topic with brands and consumers, Oreo is characteristically ahead of the pack in incorporating the latest medium for maximum impact.

Individualism and the Prosperity Gospel
May 5, 2014 Leave a comment
Photos of this nature are maddening.
This is, of course, excepting my presence in reading my facebook newsfeed, which is exceedingly more maddening. I am just a slave for slogans and the ilk.
As far as I'm concerned, it's largely correct, as far as I can tell or what meaning I can infer from it: God is our healer through providential care and grace. We can put our faith on Him to bring us through this world, nothing can extend or shorten our allotted time on this earth. Admittedly, I'm not sure what "heart doctor" means exactly–perhaps they mean cardiologist. Moreover, when they refer to "energy booster", I assume they aren't referring to chugging down Red Bull energy drinks and mistaking angels for people with "wings".
God is our portion, He fills our cup overflowing. But if that is all the post is about, it's entirely incomplete–I would argue it's blasphemously incomplete.
The problem of the post is not itself, but the underlying motivations of the post.
The intention behind the post is what is lacking as it is brazenly existential.
It assigns most of our hope on the current alleviation of suffering and none on the reward of faithfulness.
It doesn't even try to engage with the duality of God not wanting us to suffer, combined with the necessity of suffering to sharpen faith. It forgets that our present sufferings are nothing in comparison to coming pleasure and joy. The misdirection lies in the post encouraging us to look presently, at how life can be better, without considering our eternal lives in heaven. C.S. Lewis put it this way:
"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind."
At its core, the post fails because it fails to engage the duality of a loving God and a holy God. If God is all of these things, how can He possibly allow other people to suffer? The god of this post is entirely one-dimensional faith. The post merely confirms God to be powerless and nothing more than a cardboard cutout to hide our fears and anxiety.
I may be using some very strong words, but that's about as much substance this god would be.
The post misses the centrality of Christ, while emphasizing the centrality of the self. It remains content on starting every statement with "me" at least 5 times, and proclaiming God as the solution. Faith is nothing like that. It doesn't start from yourself and God is the solution. God is one who plants grace, the Holy Spirit is the one who changes us, Jesus is the one who mediates between us and God. Simultaneously, we feature as a central focus through which God does the work of salvation, but we feature very little as background to and instrumental God's redemptive purposes.
In other words, it's selfishness at the core of this thinking. I am convinced that the biggest enemy to faithful Christianity today is individualism. This is opposed to the reality that Christianity doesn't have that much to do with you; Michael Horton puts it this way:
"The gospel changes lives precisely because it is not about us – even our changed lives – but about Christ"
Our Christianity is bankrupt if God is only here to help us during the hard times. More than that, this Christianity doesn't impact our lives in any way, we are not new creatures–it is a crutch merely to help us cope with life. A faith that only copes, doesn't conquer the evil in the world but supports a blindness to the gaping wound of our depravity and selfishness.
In all honesty, my life would be okay without Jesus. I don't really need Jesus and I"m confident I could survive this lifetime without Jesus. But I do need Jesus, I can tell you that I need Him daily–on a eternal scale, though I am not conscious of it, God is holding up the world from chaos, and Jesus is holding me back from my natural self. The reason for this? Sanctification through justification, and glorification through regeneration. My point is, the flaw is to define the "sick" as only those who feel sick at that point in time. It is something like the 10 lepers who were healed, at which point, only one came back to Jesus to thank Him–it is clear the others were merely looking for an alleviation of an existential ailment.
The point of all this is simply this: if we seek prosperity and earthly things, we will be satisfied by a temporary false joy that will only make us thirst more. That is not to say that we can receive temporary alleviation and respite, but they are consequences of seeking the Kingdom and God not primary goals.
If we seek the Kingdom, we will find eternally immeasurably more. It upsets me that people would settle for anything less. The failure of chasing the God that merely the fixes of our fragile anxiety and fears is jumbled because God is not our slave. We are a slave to His love, and His grace, and more.
The disappointing thing about a lot of Christianity is that it is comprised merely of motivational speakers and psychologists dressed up as sheep. Jesus isn't around to "fix" all our problems per se. He is so much more–He revives us, as it says in Ezekiel, from a pile of bones. And all you care about is, "Oh, I need money to buy a house, I need more confidence to make friends, I am anxious about asking my boss for a raise, I need confidence to live the life that I deserve".
For all the power our words have, it is a colossal waste if we are to be serious about seeking God.I'm glad people are all about live a great life. But it steals SO much glory from God to make life about little pithy things without the bigger picture of what life transformation comes through the Gospel and the Holy Spirit.
Simply, this life isn't yours.
If you're living your best life now, you're going to Hell. – Shai Linne

Bishan Park
Cornerstone @ Bishan Park7:00:00 PM
That day, I had a spa session in the evening nearby so I decided to dine at Cornerstone.
I reminded Bb to meet me @ Bishan Park but aiyoooo... he went to Junction 8 instead!
Sotong Bb!
He rushed down to meet me.. >:\
All views from our sofa!
The ambience is nice for a quiet date or a gathering with friends for drinks!
Grilled Cod Fish!
A mere small piece costs SGD18.00 but I feel the price is worthy as it is Cod Fish and I love how the meat melts in my mouth and how the sauce complements the fish!
1/2 rack Country style smoked BBQ pork ribs with french fries and mixed green salad
I think it is about SGD32.00. I could not really finish the 1/2 rack as the meat was quite chewy for me and the sauce was sweet to my taste... So.... Bb helped me finish! :D
Lobster Marinara
Another well-deserving dish!

Though the title of this video is in error [NO BILL IS SECRET ONCE CONGRESS PASSES IT!], the ramifications of it are crystal clear.
What is the truth behind bill HR 347. Are there now no free speech zones?
In February 2012, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act was passed in the Senate by unanimous consent and (as HR 347) approved by the House of Representatives by a lopsided vote of 399-3; the bill was then signed into law by President Obama. This bill was an updating of an existing law, originally enacted in 1971, that restricted access to areas around the president, vice president, or any others under the protection of the Secret Service.
HR 347 did not TECHNICALLY make it "illegal to protest anywhere the Secret Service is present," as a law to that effect had already been in place for OVER FORTY YEARS. The primary differences between the previously existing law and the updated version enacted by HR 347 are:
The old law made it a federal offense to "willfully and knowingly" enter restricted buildings or grounds, now the law only specifies that one must "knowingly" enter such a space to be in violation of the law.
The updated version specifically defines the phrase "restricted buildings or grounds" to include "the White House or its grounds, or the Vice President's official residence or its grounds."
Opinions vary as to the impact of these changes. Addressing the issue of the difference between the old law's "willfully and knowingly" vs. the new law's use of just "knowingly," Russell Smith wrote in the LASIS (Legal As She Is Spoke) blog of New York Law School's Program in Law and Journalism that the difference is of little legal import:
<<The difference between "willingly" and "knowingly" was set out in the 1998 Supreme Court decision Bryan v. United States, which held that in order to act "willfully," a person must know his conduct is unlawful. On the other hand, the mental state "knowingly" requires only that a person is aware of the factual events that led to the crime.>>
But while this may seem like a significant difference, it isn't. Not at all.
For example, protesters prosecuted under the old law, with the magic "willfully" present, could not honestly have claimed that they had no idea that trespassing or disorderly conduct was illegal. Such a claim would have been laughed out of court.
The "knowing" element of the new H.R. 347 — all by itself — requires the government to prove that a person was actually aware he was (1) entering, blocking or being disorderly and (2) in or around a restricted area. This means that those who were unaware that they crossed into a restricted area or accidentally blocked the entrance of a restricted building could not be charged under the law.
Through his communications director, Rep. Thomas Rooney defended H.R. 347 by saying, "right now it's not a federal violation to jump the fence and run across the White House lawn; this bill makes it a federal violation." This is the only aspect of the law that was substantively expanded, and so on this score, Rep. Rooney is right because prior to the new law, it was not a federal crime to trespass on the White House lawn if the President or his family was not inside.
REALLY? That's the only difference? Call him Pinocchio!
Others disagree with this assessment. Lucy Steigerwald, writing for Reason magazine, quoted the following from Will Adams, a lawyer who current serves as the deputy chief of staff for Congressman Justin Amash:
"'The bill makes it illegal knowingly to enter or remain in a restricted building or grounds without legal authority to do so. A restricted building or grounds is defined as a "restricted area" where a person protected by the Secret Service "is or will be temporarily visiting." According to federal law (18 U.S.C. § 3056), the Secret Service is authorized to protect "visiting heads of foreign states or foreign governments" and "other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States."
So, using that input, let's say a G-20 meeting is hosted in the U.S. and the Secret Service decides it wants a larger perimeter surrounding the event where only G-20 members and staff can be. A person could be arrested and found guilty of violating this law , serve up to 10 years in prison if they're carrying a weapon, one year in prison if they're not, for merely walking into the restricted area, without even knowing walking into the area is illegal !
Gabe Rottman of the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office took something of a middle ground, writing of the bill that:
"'H.R. 347 has been variously described as making the First Amendment illegal or criminalizing the Occupy protests.
The truth is more mundane, but the issues raised are still of major significance for the First Amendment.
It's important to note — contrary to some reports — that H.R. 347 doesn't create any new crimes, or directly apply to the Occupy protests. The bill slightly rewrites a short trespass law, originally passed in 1971 and amended a couple of times since, that covers areas subject to heightened Secret Service security measures.
H.R. 347 did make one noteworthy change, which may make it easier for the Secret Service to overuse or misuse the statute to arrest lawful protesters.
Without getting too much into the weeds, most crimes require the government to prove a certain state of mind. Under the original language of the law, you had to act "willfully and knowingly" when committing the crime. In short, you had to know your conduct was illegal. Under H.R. 347, you will simply need to act "knowingly," which here would mean that you know you're in a restricted area, but not necessarily that you're committing a crime.'"
Any time the government lowers the intent requirement, it makes it easier for a prosecutor to prove her case, and it gives law enforcement more discretion when enforcing the law.
Dahlia Lithwick and Raymond Vasvari stated in Slate magazine that, even under the older version of the law, the increasing designation of "restricted buildings or grounds" to encompass events and functions that have nothing to do with the government creates an unreasonable restriction on the right to engage in free speech where "protected" persons are present:
"'The types of events and individuals warranting Secret Service protection have grown exponentially since the law was enacted in 1971. Today, any occasion that is officially defined as a National Special Security Event (NSSE) calls for Secret Service protection. NSSE's can include basketball championships, concerts, and the Winter Olympics, which have nothing whatsoever to do with government business, official functions, or improving public grounds. Every Super Bowl since 9/11 has been declared an NSSE.
When it comes to relegating demonstrators to obscurity, two approaches predominate: keep protesters outside an expansive, sanitized bubble that surrounds the very event they have come to protest, or allow them to come closer, but only within the confines of heavily policed "protest pens" that one federal judge likened to temporary internment camps.
The exclusion zones imposed by [the law] have no natural or intuitive spatial boundaries. They can be as large as law enforcement claims is necessary to ensure the security of whoever the Secret Service is protecting. The "free speech zone" is a moving target, not a delineated area.'"
Russell Smith summarized this new law by maintaining that even the minor changes to existing law implemented by HR 347 were unnecessary, and the law as it now stands "violates protesters' first amendment right to protest in their preferred public place":
"'Proponents of H.R. 347 claim it advances the government's interest in protecting its property from damage and its officials from intruders. But every state's laws already criminalize trespass, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
For example, jumping the White House's fence would be a violation of the District of Columbia's trespass statute, which subjects jumpers to up to six months in jail. Since police can arrest and remove anyone in violation of this state law, the government doesn't need H.R. 347 in order to protect its property from damage and its officials from intruders.
And, the practical consequence of H.R. 347's more serious punishment is that it will deter activists from staging protests near important policymakers.'"
The impact on protest locations is not incidental. The law was purposefully constructed to shield a select group of powerful government officials from 'provocative protests'. A law which restricts speech based on the impact of its message is a fundamental violation of the first amendment.
It is no coincidence that Congress is polishing up old tools and making new ones in the government's arsenal for prosecuting protesters now. The G-8 summits, NATO summits, even Presidential speaking engagements and the Democratic and Republican national conventions always draw massive protests. Because the President, Vice President, presidential candidates, or foreign heads of state will be in attendance at these events, activists will be at risk for violating federal law when protesting at them.

The set of provincial profiles was developed to facilitate the sub-national planning and programming process by UNICEF and the Government of Viet Nam for the next Country Programme cycle 2012-2016. It contains a total of eight statistical profiles representing the eight provinces that, after an extensive analytical selection process, were identified as representing the sub-national geographical focus for the coming five years, notably: Dien Bien, Kon Tum, Ninh Thuan, Dong Thap, An Giang, Ho Chi Minh City, Gia Lai and Lao Cai.
Each profile contains key demographic and socio-economic data by province, a provincial map with districts and its relative position on the map of Vietnam, a box on key emerging issues by province, as well as a column on national averages for comparison purposes. The main data source used is the 2009 Census, and efforts were made to disaggregate data in keeping with the equity focus. In addition to informing the sub-national planning and programming processes, the statistical profiles double as a baseline for monitoring purposes and as a fundraising tool for the next country programme cycle.
The eight focal provinces were selected based on a number of criteria, the most important of which being the depth and number of deprivations among children in a given province. Deprivation is measured based on a number of key social indicators (reflected in the profiles), including child mortality; stunting; net enrolment; and use of safe drinking water and sanitation, among others. Other considerations include: continuity and existing partnerships with provincial authorities, UNICEF and counterpart capacity, presence of partners, UNICEF added value, and regional balance.

Although Viet Nam has achieved significant results in improving children's health and nutritional status over the past decades, addressing malnutrition – and stunting in particular – remains an unfinished agenda. A Review of the Nutrition Situation in Viet Nam in 2009-2010, prepared jointly by the National Institute of Nutrition and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), focuses on the nutritional status of children under five years and their mothers, especially on the prevalence of malnutrition among the preschool population, and the data on micronutrient deficiencies. It also includes data on some of the underlying and basic factors such as food consumption and poverty.
The Nutrition Situation in Viet Nam shows that about 29 per cent of preschool aged children are stunted and 17.5 per cent of children under five are underweight. In addition, a number of nutrition-related chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases are increasing rapidly, creating a double burden of malnutrition in Viet Nam.

The Analysis of the Situation of Children in Dien Bien Province provides a holistic picture of the situation of girls and boys, including an in-depth analysis of remaining challenges that children face. It also examines the possible causes of the situation of children, and analyses the province in the context of the North West region and Viet Nam as a whole. The report aims to contribute towards establishing a stronger knowledge base on children by compiling and analysing information and data on children's issues that exists but has not yet been consolidated or comprehensively analysed.
The Analysis' findings confirm the province's remarkable progress across a broad spectrum of children's issues, in line with its socio-economic development achievements in recent years. However, there are areas where disparities exist and progress is still needed, such as child malnutrition, health care for ethnic minority children and those who are living in poor households, increasing HIV/AIDS prevalence, poor water supply to mountainous communes and villages, limited access to hygienic sanitation by the rural population, limited education for ethnic minority children at all levels, and limited access to special protection measures by vulnerable groups of children.

Community spaces design contest for an exciting hanoi
Ha Noi, October 17/10/2017 - Aiming at improving the living environment and bringing culture and art to the community towards a better urban future, United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) successfully developed the project "Promote participatory, community-based and youth-led approach in safe, greening public spaces in Hoan Kiem district toward a pro-poor, inclusive and sustainable urban development" (hereinafter called Public Spaces project) under the Block by Block program with Mojang, the makers of the videogame Minecraft.
Deadline for round 1: From 17/10/2017 to 04/11/2017 Extended to 9 November 2017
Harsh punishment for child offenders doesn't prevent further criminality
The age at which a child, can be held criminally liable is a controversial issue around the world. Within Viet Nam, this issue is currently being grappled with in the Penal Code amendments. Some argue that a "get tough on crime" approach is necessary to punish children to prevent further criminality.
However, international research shows that because of their developmental stages, labelling and treating children as criminals at an early age can have serious negative impacts on their development and successful rehabilitation.
New Year Greetings from the United Nations Resident Coordinator a.i. in Viet Nam
On the occasion of New Year 2017, on behalf of the United Nations family in Viet Nam I wish to reiterate our appreciation and express our warmest wishes to our partners and friends throughout the country. We wish our partners and their families in Viet Nam peace, prosperity, good health and happiness in the coming year.
As we enter the second year of the Sustainable Development Goals era, we look forward to continuing our close cooperation for the sake of Viet Nam's future development; one which is inclusive, equitable and sustainable, with no one left behind.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message for World AIDS Day, observed on 1 December
Thirty-five years since the emergence of AIDS, the international community can look back with some pride. But we must also look ahead with resolve and commitment to reach our goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
There has been real progress in tackling the disease. More people than ever are on treatment. Since 2010, the number of children infected through mother to child transmission has dropped by half. Fewer people die of AIDS related causes each year. And people living with HIV are living longer lives.
The number of people with access to life-saving medicines has doubled over the past five years, now topping 18 million. With the right investments, the world can get on the fast-track to achieve our target of 30 million people on treatment by 2030. Access to HIV medicines to prevent mother to child transmission is now available to more than 75 per cent of those in need.

If you do not know swimming, you'll find that you have actually missed an essential part of the education as child. If you have not been able to learn how to swim with the help of private lessons as well as in the lessons at school, then you will not be able to increase your confidence, neither will you be able to look at it as a totally fitness hobby. If you know how to swim, then you can be a life guard, learn how on this website.
As an adult, not learning to swim can actually lead to a lot of problems. You will not be able to go to any place that is to do with swimming, and you will not be able to look into a variety of benefits in terms of visiting oceans and a lot of other places. Ultimately, you would be doing yourself a very be disadvantage. So, it is always important that you actually get the best possible swimming lesson, which will ultimately help you to get a lot of benefits like remaining safe near the water, enjoying yourself in the swimming pool, and also feeling confident enough in order to take on a lot of other water sports will you happen to be on the holiday.
After all, there are a lot of reasons as to why most of the people do not go for taking swimming lesson. Firstly, they could actually be a trauma that is associated to this particular event. People may not be able to think about themselves drowning, and hence they always fear the feature of swimming. There are also many swimming pools that may not be hygienic in nature, thereby giving skin infection to those people in question.
Secondly, you will find swimming lessons should also be taught by a person that is extremely good at this particular sport himself. Otherwise, incorporating the lessons will not bring about any kind of change in the mentality of the person. That person will not be able to find any kind of trust in the swimming teacher, and hence the learning will actually take a backseat. So, it is always a good idea for the people to realize and understand about the appropriate amount of swimming lessons that are to be provided by people that have actually had a lot of understanding in this particular sport. This way, people will be able to gauge and get to realize about the quality factors in regards to swimming, and also understand various ways in which they will be able to applaud the effort of a child that can learn this particular art.

For Elective CABG, Perioperative Hematocrit Target of ≥ 24% (Compared with ≥ 30%) Reduces Blood Transfusion Rate and May Not Increase Morbidity
DynaMed Weekly Update - Volume 5, Issue 42
The decision about when to give blood transfusions is complex, requiring a careful assessment of risks and benefits. The TRACS trial compared the effects of giving blood transfusions perioperatively using a target of maintaining hematocrit at ≥ 24% vs. ≥ 30% in 502 patients having an elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Patients were evaluated for a composite outcome which included 30-day all-cause mortality and severe morbidity (cardiogenic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or acute renal injury requiring dialysis or hemofiltration) during hospital stay. The trial was designed to see if limiting blood transfusions with a goal of maintaining the hematocrit ≥ 24% was not inferior to the strategy of using transfusions to keep the hematocrit ≥ 30%. Using a target hematocrit of ≥ 24% reduced the rate of transfusion (47% vs. 78%, p < 0.001, NNT 4) (
level 1 [likely reliable] evidence). There were no statistically significant differences in the composite outcome (11% vs. 10%, which met the pre-specified non-inferiority margin) (level 2 [mid-level] evidence), although there were nonsignificant absolute increases in mortality of 1% and in cardiogenic shock of 4% in the lower target group. There were no significant differences in complications, severe bleeding, or hospital stay (JAMA 2010 Oct 13;304(14):1559).

Tucker, The Book Is On The Table. (How I became a twitter spam threat to Brazil)
I'm a songwriter and I'm trying to use the social media channels to try and cultivate an audience. To learn about social engagement and music marketing in this new economy I read blogs, and subscribe to newsletters, by respected authorities like Thorny Bleeder, Gary Vaynerchuk, Ariel Hyatt.
The advice I get from all of them is:
- Be yourself
- Put out compelling content.
- Don't spam people
In a market teaming with incredibly talented indie artists, all vying for the ears and hearts of the internet, I wanted some compelling content, that I coulld publish on a regular basis, to put alongside my music. I came up with 'Deep Readings' where I embrace the time tested gag of reading pop lyrics without the music. The difference being I would do it with equal parts irony and drama and put a twist on the classic. And in a really deep voice.
Don't Stop Believing by Journey was my first Deep Reading.
I posted it on a Tumblr blog and shared it with my normal social media channels like my Facebook page and twitter. Then came the slippery slope to accidental spammerdom.
I used twitter search and looked for "Don't Stop Journey". I got quite a few results and responded to their comments in a friendly way by responding to the actual tweet and not just sending a link. For example one tweet said their favorite part of singing along with the song was doing the guitar solo. I replyed that there were no guitars in my version. They responded back with a follow and a compliment that it sounded awesome. Super fun, I had achieved engagement. Someone else responded that it was cool and reminded them of Leonard Cohen. High praise! Let's keep this twitter train going ...
Someone else has a hashtag #Nowplaying Don't Stop Believing - Journey and I respond with "When you're done check out my version and tell me how they compare." Their response? They retweeted me and added "THE BOOK IS ON THE TABLE". I Googled the phrase and found this song:
It was my first request! I was so excited I immediately got the lyrics did a deep reading and sent it back to him with expectations of him retweeting it to his 31,000 followers and experiencing immediate and overwhelming web fame. I then twitter searched the phrase and responded to the several others who were using it in their tweets assuming they were talking about this crazy Brazilian dance song.
Nothing. No response.
Getting a bit of a sinking feeling I dug a bit deeper into Google and found this video where the government of Brazil is trying to explain why it's important to learn english. The punch line of the video is when the Portuguese woman says the only english phrase she knows. You guessed it ... The Book Is On The Table.
I use Google to translate a few of the tweets I had responded to. None of them were talking about the song. In my overzealous attempt to engage people with my silly pop song readings I wound up spamming a bunch of friendly Brazilians with complete nonsense.
Social rules are social rules. Online or off. People are having conversations with friends and family out here. You can't just walk up and start selling something or blasting your song out the window thinking they'll love it enough to run up and buy your stuff.
So remember:
- Be yourself
- Put out compelling content
- Say hello
- Answer questions
- Be approachable
- Say please and thank-you
- Learn a bit about who you're talking to
- Don't spam friendly Brazilians with nonsense they won't care about

Gridiron Stop #3 of The Wakeskate Tour brought us to Canada and our biggest spot in the history of The Wakeskate Tour. Heading into this event we had a dead even tie with Andrew Pastura, 2012 and 2013 champion, and younger brother Austin Pastura. After a heated battle on a huge drop Austin came out in the lead followed by Nick Robinson and Andrew Pastura in third. All three riders are now secured into Spring Training in the Philippines next year courtesy of The CWC and Republic Wake Parks. We'll see you at Battle Falls for the Finals on August 30th!

Saddles are a personal choice. You have to try a bunch to see what your body type likes. This is a key component (including bars and pedals) to overall comfort for a bike to fit to your body. Gel covers are discouraged as they tend to slide around which causes additional friction in an area where too much friction leads to discomfort.
Don't wait until the ride to try a new saddle. To help narrow your selection, the Selle Anatomica saddle has been widely and repeatedly used in previous RAs. The Brooks Cambium is another good saddle choice which requires no break in and has generated no post ride soreness. read more Mouse over Markers for the details.
As this is a supported ride, you should have a backpack-style bag with water bladder, rear mounted rack with bag, or top-tube mounted bag. There are many companies on the market now so shop around and see what size, color, and options are right for you. Most folks use a backpack-style bag. If using a rear mounted rack and bag, make sure it's secured and understand it will impact bike handling over rough or muddy terrain. If you want to be a minimalist, put a small top tube pack and/or saddle bag on your bike.
Bike Computer. Some are wireless. Some measure cadence (pedal strokes per minute). But all measure speed and average speed. This is critical for getting in shape. And helpful in maintaining an appropriate pace during the ride.
Lights. Front facing light and rear-facing "blinkie." If you don't have them, make sure someone is in front of you and someone is behind you. It is highly recommended you have a front light as we travel through multiple tunnels on the ride.
Pump. Can be mounted on bike, carried in jersey pocket, or in pack/rack of choice. The Morph from Topeak is a recommended pump but there are many varieties on the market. Another choice is to carry CO2 pump which requires you to have CO2 cartridges.
Hydration. As mentioned above in the Pack/Rack section, most folks use a backpack-style pack on this ride. This type of pack will also hold a hydration bladder. Make sure you choose a bladder larger than 70 ounces or 1.5L. Your bike has two water bottle mounts. It is recommended to have water bottles as backup to your hydration bladder, especially on Day 3. How much you need to drink depends on your fitness and personal choice. Do not wait to drink until you are thirsty. Hydrate often on the ride. Consider bringing an electrolyte powder with you on the ride. Another option for hydration is to drink coconut water.
Sustained Energy. While this ride is supported and we begin every day with breakfast and stop for lunch, you will need to digest food while riding. If you're not used to eating while riding, practice. If you're not comfortable doing so, make sure you dismount and move off the trail to eat. There are many options to provide energy throughout the ride. Energy bars, gels, goo, bananas, apples, trail mix, etc are all excellent sources of fuel your body will need to complete the ride. Make sure you know what your stomach can tolerate while riding before this ride.
Tools. In your pack, bag, or jersey you should have energy gel/food, 2 spare tubes, tire levers, chamois cream, band-aids, pump or CO2 device, and bike multi-tool. Optional items are tube patch kit, bike lock, sunscreen, moist toilettes.

The Political Economies of Media: New Book by Winseck and Jin
Well, here's a little bit of shameless self-promotion. It's the front cover of a new co-edited collection that I've put together with Dal Yong Jin, an assistant professor at the School of Communication, Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada as well as the College of Culture and Technology, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
The book is called The Political Economies of Media and will be published by Bloomsbury Academic — the academic publishing arm of the same company behind the Harry Potter series — in June. I think the cover looks great. The authors that have contributed to this volume are exceptional as well: Bernard Miege, Susan Christopherson, Terry Flew, Amelia Arsenault, Guillermo Mastrini, Martín Becerra, Dwayne Winseck, Elizabeth van Couvering, Dal Yong Jin, Christian Fuchs, Aeron Davis, Peter Thompson, Marc-Andre Pigeon.
You can read sample chapters here by myself, Aeron Davis and Christian Fuchs here.
March 29, 2011 at 11:33 am
Thanks for that, Dwayne. I had seen that his book was coming out soon. I'm quite interested in his re-evaluation of Castells' 'communication power.'
Did you happen to see this article by Fuchs, 'An Alternative View of Privacy on Facebook': http://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/2/1/140/pdf ? I was particularly interested in his discussion of surplus value and how it can be applied to the 'prosumers' who have become "essential for generating profit in the new media economy" (p. 153). I found his thought experiment to be a useful way of presenting this issue to students (where he claims Facebook would find itself in crisis if the 'prosumers' stopped generating content since it would lead to a drop in users, and subsequently a decrease in investment by advertisers and loss of profits).
March 29, 2011 at 10:29 am
Looks great! (Although just an FYI the image doesn't appear for me – had to click on it to see it; I'm using Google Chrome.)
Do you recall the title or subject matter of Fuchs' contribution? I've been eagerly following his work lately …
March 24, 2011 at 6:10 pm
What am I, chopped liver? Seriously, great cover. Who did the map, do you know? Can't wait to see it.

Optical bistability of nonlinear guided-mode resonances in photonic crystal slabs (PCSs) are numerically investigated. We perform finite-difference time-domain simulations to determine the linear and nonlinear characteristics of these guided-mode resonances in PCSs. The nonlinear characteristics such as switching intensity and switching time, which are suggested as the performance metric of all-optical switches, are similar to the all-optical switches in slab waveguide gratings. While the slab waveguide gratings are sensitive to the incoming light polarization, the PCSs can offer an advantage of avoiding reduction efficiency and a requirement of careful polarization stabilization of the light source. From the calculations, we introduce a dependency of the normalized switching intensity and the switching time of the all-optical switches on quality factor for our designed guided-mode resonances in PCSs.

"challenged". I mounted a transmitter in our garage that
controls an invisible fence for pet containment in the
back yard. One of the posts on the transmitter is where
I am supposed to hook up a ground wire attached to a
copper grounding rod buried 3 feet deep. The power cable
for the transmitter has 2 prongs on it and plugs into a
3 pronged outlet. Isn't the "third" hole in the outlet
a ground itself? Can't I hook up the ground post on the
transmitter to the ground on the outlet somehow? Thanks.

Yogyakarta to host next Asian Youth Day
JAKARTA — Three thousand young people from 29 Asian countries taking part in the 7th Asian Youth Day 2017, which will be held from July 30 to August 6 in Yogyakarta (Central Java), Indonesia. The appointment Indonesian edition for young Asian Catholics will have as central topic the spread of the spirit of pluralism, expressed by the theme: "Rejoice, Asian Youth! Living the Gospel in multicultural. "
The Catholic Church in Asia lives and bears witness to their faith in the wide variety of ethnic groups, languages and cultures. Indonesia is the place where such diversity also exists in society. The adoption and defense of the concept of "unity in diversity" has become in fact the foundation of the Indonesian nation.
Mons. Pius Riana Prapdi, president of the Youth Commission of the Indonesian Bishops Conference (KWI KomKep) tells AsiaNews how the theme of the 7th Asian Youth Day has been chosen by agreement with the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences (FABC).
For participants in the event will be an opportunity to live the daily experience of the Catholic Church in Asia and Indonesia: a pluralist society characterized by diversity of languages, cultures, traditions and values. The guys who will take part will have the opportunity to renew and strengthen their faith as disciples of Christ and become witnesses for the next in the social contexts of Asia.
The Asian Youth Day in Yogyakarta follows, three years later, the one held in Daejeon (South Korea). Msgr. Ignatius Suharyo, President of the Indonesian Bishops Conference (KWI), explains that these events have the task of giving a strong boost to the morale of all young Asian Catholics in promoting a spirit of solidarity and generate positive values, as disciples of Christ and members of the Catholic Church. "As a guest – says Msgr. Suharyo – we hope that all participants understand deeply the importance of the concept of unity in diversity ".
Msgr. Prapdi emphasizes that diversity is a social and cultural priceless. It must be defended seriously and carefully maintained. The bishop's comments are in line with the concepts expressed by the more moderate part of Indonesian society, which in recent years has been opposed to the radical Muslim groups who deny the pluralistic reality of the country.

Judith Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, first became a practicing lawyer in 1965. Since beginner her legal career, she has become a major television personality, presiding over her own reality courtroom series since 1996.
Sheindlin was born on Oct. 21, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York. She went on to attend American University in Washington, D.C., earning both an undergraduate degree and a graduate law degree. Sheindlin was the only woman in her graduating class of 126. After passing the New York bar exam in 1965, she began practicing law as a corporate lawyer for a cosmetics firm. Unsatisfied with the work, she took a job in the New York family court system in 1972, prosecuting child abuse, domestic violence and juvenile crime cases.
Sheindlin gained a reputation as skilled litigator, and New York Mayor Ed Koch appointed her as a family court judge in 1982. Sheindlin's renown as a tough, honest judge who stuck up for the underdog began to bring her media attention, including profiles in the Los Angeles Times and on "60 Minutes." Following the media attention, Sheindlin's agent got her a television deal. Premiering in 1996, "Judge Judy" quickly became one of the most popular daytime television shows, edging out "Oprah" in many markets. "Judge Judy" spawned many other TV judge shows and made Sheindlin one of television's wealthiest stars; she earned $47 million from her show in 2013.

University of Regina Rams head football coach Steve Bryce has some friendly advice for CFL officials attending the league's evaluation camp of Mexican prospects his weekend: Keep an open mind.
Mexico's Liga de Futbol Americano Professional, an eight-team semi-pro circuit, will host a combine Sunday for players hoping to play in Canada. Forty-five players are expected to participate in drills and interviews with CFL officials at Estadio Azul, a 33,000-seat stadium in Mexico City, which has a population exceeding 20 million.
A draft will follow the next day.
The CFL and LFA signed a letter of intent in November during Grey Cup week in Edmonton. The non-binding agreement calls for both sides to work together on several projects, including possible CFL games in Mexico.
For many CFL officials, Mexican football is an unknown entity. But Bryce said league GMs, coaches and personnel evaluators can expect to be surprised.
He should know. Last year, the Rams had two Mexican-born players on their roster — kicker Aldo Galvan and offensive lineman Steven Zambrano, who was redshirted. Bryce also is talking to another two prospects from Mexico about playing in Regina this season.
"Football is a fast-growing sport there, there's no shortage of talent," said Bryce. "It's not the NFL, the NFL is the elite top league of football in the world.
"But if you look up some of the names in the NFL who've been outstanding at their positions, the best offensive lineman was Anthony Munoz and the best tight end arguably was Tony Gonzalez (both Mexican-Americans)."
Prior to arriving at Regina, Bryce spent seven years as the head coach at Etiwanda High School in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
"I had many talented Mexican football players on my team," he said. "They're aggressive, disciplined, hard-working young men.
"These guys are unbelievably talented, they just haven't had exposure."
Regina isn't the only Canadian university with a Mexican-born player on its football roster. Diego Alatorre, a six-foot-three, 300-pound offensive lineman, played at the University of British Columbia last year.
"If you look at him, he's been very good," Bryce said.
Joe Kapp, another Mexican-American, is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. He played quarterback for both the Calgary Stampeders (1959-60) and B.C. (1961-66), leading the Lions to two Grey Cup appearances, winning one, before joining the NFL's Minnesota Vikings in 1967.
Another former CFL star, quarterback Jeff Garcia, is of Mexican and Irish heritage. He began his pro career with the Stampeders (1994-98) before playing for seven NFL teams.
Last summer in Mexico City, Mexico stunned the United States 33-6 in the semifinals of the under-18 world championship before losing 13-7 to Canada. Galvan and Zambrano both played for that Mexican squad.
Head coach Rick Campbell and offensive co-ordinator Jaime Elizondo, a native of Mexico, will represent the Ottawa Redblacks at the combine. GM Marcel Desjardins admits he's unsure about what to expect.
"I've seen very little film and when I say very little I mean very little," he said. "You absolutely have to go there with an open mind.
"It's a venture for all of us and whether it brings one player to the CFL or 10 is to be determined. It's the first step in what will probably be a multi-pronged approach to doing things internationally. You have to start somewhere."
John Gregory, a former CFL head coach with Saskatchewan and Hamilton, echoed Bryce's sentiments regarding the state of Mexican football. In 2017, Gregory served as commissioner of the National Arena League, an indoor circuit that operated with a franchise in Monterrey, Mexico.
Gregory was pleasantly surprised with the support he received conducting a coaching clinic in Mexico earlier this year, prompting him to write a book about coaching football. Gregory was invited to talk shop ahead of the launch of the Mexico City-based International Arena Football League, which is scheduled to begin operation this year.
"Let me tell you, there are many players there," he said. "There's definite potential there, for sure.
"I was told Mexico has had high school football for 50 or 60 years and anywhere from 40 to 90 colleges have teams playing American football. I was flabbergasted. Why we haven't known this? I don't know."
Bryce said Universidad de las Américas Puebla, commonly referred to as UDLAP, has the top collegiate football program, in Mexico. In 2016, the private university located in Cholula, Puebla — roughly 100 kilometres east of Mexico City — visited the University of San Diego for an exhibition game, dropping a 49-25 decision.
"They were much better than our players thought they were going to be," San Diego head coach Dale Lindsey said afterwards. "I really had great admiration for them. They never quit."

All of the Big Four banks opened solidly in the green today, but less than two hours into trading, they're all currently trading lower than where they started. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) even bumped temporarily into the red.
Citigroup (NYSE:C) is a prime example of this sudden downward trend: up by only 0.55%, after opening up 0.91%. Why the abrupt onset of gloominess? Revised economic data from the Department of Commerce might be the answer.
A revision too far
The news is fairly grim: The federal government has revised the country's first-quarter GDP growth from 2.4% to 1.8%. Revisions are typically within a few points either way. A downward revision of 0.6% is an unusually sizable drop.
This after a two-day market rally that had the markings of a potential recovery from last week's news that the Federal Reserve might begin dialing back quantitative easing later this year, and fears of a credit crunch in the world's other economic superpower, China.
Foolish bottom line
Still, it's looking like the market rally just might hold on by the skin of its teeth. Investors around the world have now had a week to digest the Fed's news. After two days of general freaking out, and a weekend to put Ben Bernanke's statement into perspective, the markets may now be correcting what was an obvious overreaction.
Dialing back quantitative easing is only ever going to happen if good economic news continues to come in, and by what we're seeing today, that may not necessarily be the case. In fact, strangely, today's grim news from the Commerce Department could eventually end up buoying markets, once investors realize that bad news like this could keep QE going strong. This is the weird world of economics we're currently in.
But Warren Buffett says that when others are being fearful, be greedy. With the kind of fear that's coursing through the market right now, this is an optimum time to be greedy.
Citi has come a thousand miles since its financial-crisis days. The balance sheet is stronger than ever, leadership -- in the form of CEO and banker's banker Michael Corbat -- is stronger than ever, and the bank is thinking ahead and moving forward: Witness Citi's bold move into Iraq, a country the bank's analysts see as a potential $2.0 trillion-dollar economy in the decades ahead. Investors in Citi know they're onto a good thing. Time to be greedy and scoop up some Citi stock while markets are still figuring out which way to go.

Partnerships and corporations are two forms of business organization. A partnership is an association of two or more persons, and unless it is a limited partnership, it need not be establish in writing. A corporation is a legal entity created in accordance with state law. A corporation establishes the business as a separate legal entity. Owners of a corporation are not personally liable for the debts of the business unless they want that protection. Partnerships are less complicated to set up than corporations and may be more favorable for smaller businesses for tax purposes. However, each partner can be held personally responsible for the debts in a partnership, and in the event that one of the partners quits, dies or declares bankruptcy, the partnership is dissolved. In deciding whether to incorporate, you should contact an attorney to determine what is the best form of business ownership for your situation. That will depend on a variety of factors, such as who will control the affairs of the entity, how much financial risk is involved, the potential for growth, the tax implications and other matters. For more information regarding partnerships and corporations, contact a qualified attorney.

One of the most popular small cars in South Africa, the Ford Fiesta is now available in automatic guise. Dubbed Powershift, the automatic transmission is dual-clutch gearbox, which most of us have become accustomed to on higher specification vehicles.
Combined with the Ford's acclaimed and award winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, the new Powershift enabled Fiesta promises excellent responsiveness and fuel efficiency.
The 74kW/170Nm 1.0-litre 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine is paired with Ford's advanced, six speed dual-clutch PowerShift automatic transmission – the first time Ford has combined the two technologies – delivering CO2 emissions of only 114 g/km and a clamied 4.9 I/100 km fuel consumption.

| Sep 28, 2016
dear parent ur situation is now more common in every home .and the trick which I use is that I never install any game related apps or even educational apps for toddlers on my mobile. so if u have installed it earlier pls delete them all and let ur kid know that there is nothing interesting in ur mobile. ofcourse they will throw tantrums and cry. but let it be. they will soon learn tht ur mobile is of no use and will forget abt it. kids will adopt sooner than adults.. but the main thing is we have to be stubborn too. dont install back when ur kid cries too much.. it's their way of controlling us. and it works all the time. so it's in our hands.. happy parenting to u.

When we first launched your Decentralized TV YouTube Channel we believed that a small number of curious and passionate blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts could create an outsized impact on the growing market and ecosystem – we were pleased to discover that our original hypothesis was correct!
Since we launched, we've built a number of software products and applications, ultimately co-building with our community on a project called YEN, the first meta-exchange ("MEX") which continues our mission to accelerate the growth and adoption of decentralized systems through awareness, education, and entertainment (i.e. fun!).
But there's still so much left to do – we need your help!
Feel free to follow our project leads (@John, @Peter, @Su, @James), learn more about the organization via our

We hold these Truths.../
I will for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to me such means as are consistent with truth and honor, and will never seek to mislead the judge or jury by any artifice or false statement of fact or law. Oath of Admission to The Florida Bar https://www.floridabar.org/divcom/jn/jnjournal01.nsf/Author/4F51651D215A82C085256ADB005D611F
Imagine what the law business would be like if we woke up on a Monday morning and went to work in a "post-truth" world. The Oxford Dictionaries declared "post-truth" as its 2016 word of the year; a state "in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief." Travelling down this Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit hole is Gerard Baker's recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Trump, 'lies' and Honest Journalism, in which he cautions "I'd be careful about using the word 'lie.' 'Lie' implies much more than just saying something that's false. It implies a deliberate intent to mislead." http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lies-and-honest-journalism-1483557700.
Fair enough. But here are a couple of dictionary definitions of a lie: an intentionally false statement; to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive; to create a false or misleading impression. The critical word here is "intention" which begs the question; Is it possible to "accurately know the values (or lack thereof) involved when a person speaks?" Probably not.
In his famous little book, On Bullshit, http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7929.htm, Harry Frankfurt makes an important distinction between bullshit and lying that I think is particularly pertinent: Both the liar and the bullshitter try to get away with something. But 'lying' is perceived to be a conscious act of deception, whereas 'bullshitting' is unconnected to a concern for truth. Frankfurt regards this 'indifference to how things really are', as the essence of bullshit. Furthermore, a lie is necessarily false, but bullshit is not – bullshit may happen to be correct or incorrect. The crux of the matter is that bullshitters hide their lack of commitment to truth. Since bullshitters ignore truth instead of acknowledging and subverting it, bullshit is a greater enemy of truth than lies.
There is, however, no real distinction between a lie and bullshit when it comes to the form or meaning of what is actually said. When a person rejects the very idea of being true to facts and turns, instead, to an ideal based on what they assert to be a sincere belief in their own substantial and determinate nature, then, according to Frankfurt, this sincerity is also bullshit. https://philosophynow.org/issues/53/On_Bullshit_by_Harry_Frankfurt
"Why don't you believe him? Why isn't it taken at face value?" Conway said in exasperation. "You can't give him the benefit of the doubt on this and he's telling you what was in his heart? You want to go with what's come out of his mouth rather than what's in his heart." https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/818444732934201344
