How to Place a Spreadsheet Over a Graphic & Make It Transparent
Excel offers two methods for creating a spreadsheet on top of an image. If you want your entire sheet to display a tiled image, add it as a background and your data will automatically appear on top of the image. You can also add an image to a specific place on your spreadsheet and then reduce the image's opacity to make your data appear above the image.
Adding a Background
Open the Page Layout tab in Excel and click "Background." Find and open an image file on your computer and Excel will display the picture behind the spreadsheet. Backgrounds repeat infinitely across the entire spreadsheet. By default, your cells will appear transparent, showing your data directly atop the picture. If you've set cell colors, however, you need to remove them to see the graphic. Select any colored cells and click the arrow by the "Fill Color" icon in the Home tab. Pick "No Fill" to make the cells transparent.
Adding Images Inside Shapes
You can add pictures to your spreadsheet by clicking "Picture" on the Insert tab, but this method does not allow you to display cells on top of the image. Instead, click "Shapes" and insert a rectangle -- or another shape -- of the size you want your graphic to appear. Right-click the shape, click "Format Shape" and pick "Picture or texture fill" on the Fill tab. Press "File" and select your image. The image will resize to fit the shape automatically. Alternatively, check "Tile picture as texture" to use the image's original size, repeated as necessary.
Making Images Transparent
After filling the shape with your image, drag the "Transparency" slider on the Fill tab to adjust the shape -- and the picture along with it. The more transparent your shape, the easier it will be to read your spreadsheet. Press "Close" and drag your image to position it on the spreadsheet. Data on the sheet will appear through the transparent image. To modify cells on top of the image, select a nearby cell and use the arrow keys to move the cursor.
Tips for Using Graphics
Whether you use a transparent image or a background picture, changing the font color of individual cells can improve readability on dark areas of your graphic. You may also need to use colored fills on some cells. When using the transparent shape method, you can erase the shape's border by opening the Line Color tab in the Format Picture window. Select "No line" to display only your image. With either method, Excel stores spreadsheet data separately from graphics, so you can delete or move images without altering your data.

Jackson Pollock collectibles
Jackson Pollock (1912 – 1956) was an American painter whose distinctive style of 'action paintings' and unusual techniques helped to inspire the Abstract Expressionist art movement.
Moving away from the traditional style of canvas-on-easel, he used large canvases laid out on his studio floor or attached directly to a wall, and applied paint from several angles using implements such as sticks, knives and basting syringes.
This led to him being christened 'Jack the Dripper by a famous Time Magazine article in 1956.
Pollock was first introduced to the use of liquid paint in 1936 whilst attending an experimental workshop in New York, held by David Alfaro Siqueiros, and the drip technique found its way into his work during the early 1940s.
He was then further inspired due to his marriage to American painter Lee Krasner in 1945, and the move to a new house and studio (paid for in part with a loan from art collector Peggy Guggenheim).
The main 'drip period' of his work lasted from 1947 to 1950, during which he produced his most famous works and achieved a level of both fame and notoriety due to his growing alcoholism.
However, he abandoned the style at the hight of his fame, soon after a famous Life Magazine article in which they asked the question "Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?".
The majority of Pollock's major works are currently on display in museums around the world such as the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art and the Tate Modern.
In 1974 the Australian Government purchased the Pollock work 'Blue Poles' (1952) for a price of (US)$2 million. At the time it was a world record price for a 20th century artist, and proved controversial in Australia. The painting, currently on display in the National Gallery of Australia, is now recognised as one of Pollocks best and most important pieces and was recently estimated at a value of around (A)$180 million.
In May 2004 the painting 'Number 12, 1949' was sold By Christie's in New York for $11,655,500.
Pollock's painting 'No. 5, 1948' is currently the world's most expensive painting, after it was sold by David Geffen to an unknown collector in November 2006 for a sum believed to be around $140 million.
In 2010, the piece 'Number 12a, 1948' sold at a Sotheby's auction in New York for $8,762,500.

N.S. family turns to public seeking information on son's disappearance
TRURO -- The family of 35-year-old Tony Walsh is speaking out hoping someone has information about the whereabouts of their loved one.
"Please, just do the right thing, give us answers, no family deserves this," said Tony's mother, Susan Robben.
Walsh was last seen at the end of August, and has not been heard from since.
Robben says even with four months gone by, she doesn't plan to give up hope.
"A nightmare doesn't even describe it. Hell, you're just numb," explains Robben. "You're just totally, completely, and utterly numb. You just go through the motions."
Walsh was last seen on the afternoon of August 23 getting into a truck in Truro, N.S. His car was later located by his family in a local parking lot.
"None of it makes any sense, none of it," said Robben. "I just don't understand, I don't understand. It shouldn't happen in small communities. He's not the type of person who would take off and leave, and not contact us. He was in contact with me every day, he lived here."
In an unusual move, police released a videotaped statement from Walsh's family, hoping to generate leads in the case.
"We, as a family, are looking for a Christmas miracle. I would like someone with great compassion and courage to come forward with any information that you have in the disappearance of my son, Tony Walsh," said Tony's mother in the videotaped police statement.
"We're trying to be a little bit innovative and think outside the box in the respect to getting information out of people," said Cpl. Jennifer Clarke, with the Nova Scotia RCMP. "So, by releasing the video, people see the emotion of his family, they see that it's important to us, it's important to them."
RCMP says the investigation into the disappearance remains active.
"I can't speak about our suspicions to do with the file. I can tell you we've dedicated a lot of resources to this particular investigation including our underwater recovery team, we've used the police dog, we've executed a number of search warrants, we've interviewed over 60 people," said Clarke.
"We just really need Tony home. That's our biggest goal," said Robben.
Anyone with information into Tony Walsh's disappearance is asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, and his two co-defendants will have to wait for more than a week to know if the High Court in Harare will dismiss the treason charges against them, or proceed with the trial.
Judge Paddington Garwe said there should be a ruling on the matter on Monday, July 28. But he said he might need more time.
The judge was speaking at the end of four days of arguments by the defense and prosecution teams on a motion by the accused for the case to be dismissed.
The defense team, led by attorney George Bizos, argued that charges against the three opposition leaders should be dismissed, because the two key state witnesses are not credible because they were paid large sums of money by the Zimbabwe government on a consulting contract. The lawyer also said their testimony, and other prosecution evidence, failed to meet the minimum standard of proof.
The government's two key witnesses, Canadian political consultant Ari Ben-Menashe and his assistant Tara Thomas, testified that Mr. Tsvangirai approached their company to arrange the assassination of President Robert Mugabe.
Mr. Ben-Menashe secretly made a video recording of a December 2001 meeting, during which Mr. Tsvangirai is alleged to have made the request. Mr. Tsvangirai and his co-defendants deny the charge, and the audio on the videotape is difficult to understand.
The poor quality of the tape, the defense argued, was a deliberate attempt to leave the proceedings of the meeting to the interpretation of the two witnesses. The defense lawyer described the meeting as an attempt at entrapment, in exchange for money. He also said Mr. Ben-Menashe's and Ms. Thomas's evidence contradicted each other.
The prosecution team, led by Acting Attorney-General Bharat Patel, argued that Mr. Tsvangirai was under no inducement and participated voluntarily in the meeting. The prosecutor said Mr. Tsvangirai did not reject the idea of assassinating the president or a coup d'etat when they came up.
He also said that though Mr. Tsvangirai's co-defendants were not at the videotaped meeting, they had attended earlier meetings during which it is alleged the plot was discussed. The prosecutor said there is no legal basis to dismiss the case.
If convicted Mr. Tsvangirai and his co-defendants could face the death penalty.

For over two years, proponents of the Overlay have consulted with Metro Planning and theHistorical Commission to consider the most effective tools to preserve the Edgehill
neighborhood and guide its future development. The Conservation Overlay, as opposed to a Historic Overlay or an Urban Development Overlay, is the correct tool to achieve these goals for
the following reasons:
1. The Overlay protects historic homes from demolition, preserving both the
architectural and cultural history of a neighborhood that began in 1890.
2. Along with Fort Negley, the William Edmondson Homesite, and the McKissack architectural legacy, Edgehill is one of the most important African American historic sites in Nashville, and the Overlay will preserve its built environment.
3. The overlay encourages development that is to scale and in character with Edgehill's past and sense of place.
4. The Overlay guidelines are tailored to the needs of Edgehill residents to include needed allowances for historically contributing homes (such as dormers and taller back additions) and two-story infill for non-contributing homes.
5. The Overlay preserves the uniqueness of Edgehill's residential character, which is
being encroached upon from all sides. While we are not opposed to developments
such as Demonbreun Hill and the Gulch South, we want to retain Edgehill's sense
of community that comes from its historic architecture.
6. The Overlay prioritizes residential homes and long-term community–over construction and development for the purposes of short-term rentals. The demand for such development is high due to our proximity to Music Row, the Gulch, downtown, and Vanderbilt and Belmont universities.

430 Crank without PS drive?
On my '54, I don't want to run the original crank driven power steering pump. Is there a way to not mount the pump or a different crank (and possibly timing cover) to eliminate the power steering?

Re: 430 Crank without PS drive?
I had a timing cover on a 383 without the pump, it also had a different adapter sleeve on the crankshaft . That engine came from a '58 Mercury. I assume that car must have come without power steering. I have also gutted the internals from the pump and run just the housing with success.

How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in chocolate and walnuts. Add egg whites and vanilla; stir just until incorporated (don't over-mix).
Step 2
Drop dough by the tablespoon, 2 inches apart, onto three parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are crackled but still slightly moist (15-18 minutes), rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cookies cool completely.
Step 3
Freeze the cookies for at least 30 minutes. Place 3 tablespoons of sorbet on the flat side of a cookie and top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies. Store the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer in an airtight container until ready to eat. Can be made up to 2 days ahead.

Zero Hedge
January 12, 2010
[efoods]Darrell Issa asks the key question: "If not Tim Geithner then who? What's wrong with a system that the New York Fed can hand out your tax dollars in these quantities and not think it is particularly important to make sure it's the right amount."
And more questions:
"Between November 24 and the time that he became Secretary of the Treasury, Tim Geithner purported to be absolutely engaged in all aspects of saving America. He didn't go to a monastery for those days. We still have a right to know what Tim Geithner knew and when he knew it and why didn't he know that we were paying more than double the amount that was commercially reasonable… Certainly Barney Frank doesn't seem to be interested enough in getting to the bottom of that. More importantly, in the future does the Fed have a right to pay more than a mark to market, simply on the strength of their own decisions and then keep it secretive?"
Finally someone is asking the questions which all other politicians, regulators (Mary Schapiro, how are you today?), and everyone else captured by Wall Street's indulgences never will.
As for our ideas of who may very well have been the proper party to question, here is one:

Understandably, for those who are new to the night sport, they can get overwhelmed rather quickly with the questions of, what scope should I buy? Or where should I even begin? Thankfully we can turn to one of the best resources this day and age has to offer, the internet. Of course, you can't trust everything you read or see on the internet, but it can sure help provide crash courses on topics that you may be wanting to learn.
There is nothing like trying out products right in front of your face, but of course this is not always possible. If you are able to view the products at least side by side, it can sure help you decide or educate you as to what brand or style you should by.
In the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIhFupwqOU4&t=574s by Lone Star Bores, they show you just that. If you are beginner and not sure if you should spend your hard earned money on night vision, or thermal, this video is for you. Lone Star Boars has a side by side comparison between night vision scopes and thermal scopes. They show you how each style has its advantages and how each style has its disadvantages, thus giving the you a front row seat of seeing firsthand what style may be best for you.
Once you have an idea of what type of scope you want to purchase between night vision and thermal, this next video is a quick crash course on just a basic model of a night vision Pulsar scope. Nic Taylor has the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjTuF5_HOik explaining the simplicity of a basic night vision scope. He goes over the entire scope and talks about what all the functions do. The way he explains everything gives any beginner a touch more knowledge and advise that they could use in making a purchase to get into the sport or possibly make a purchase.
It is one thing to have someone explain a product to you, but how does it preform in the field? What do the animals look like through the scopes? From the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKO4DBAPQcw you get a front row seat of an Armasight Predator with actual game. Join Carpe Sus as he lets you look through his scope while testing the Predator during a night hunt. There is no dialog during the video, but he has text on the screen for each animal or object he sees, he not only tells you what you are viewing, but the distance you are from that particular object. His video allows you to be able to see how a deer or turkey may appear in thermal imagery. He even goes so far as to inform you the temperature and humidity. No shots are fired in the video, so if you are looking for carnage rather than education, you may have to look elsewhere.
With all the different types of thermal scopes out there, these previous videos don't help too much when it comes to the comparisons of each style. In another video by Lone Star Boars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjYRNnIFZ1g they compare nine different thermal scopes at various yardages. A great video to let you see firsthand which style or brand you like better or if it would be worth it to you to fork out a touch more cash for a better model.
If you are looking at getting into the sport of night hunting/shooting, odds are you already hunt and have a set up on your AR-15 or a different rifle. Lone Star Bores has another great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21u146L1xVU explaining the pros and cons of a clip on night vision scope. In this video, you are able to see exactly what the shooter would be seeing out in the field. No animals or shooting action is found in this video, as it is more so an instructional video of installation of the clip on scope to an already existing scope. Lone Star Bores does allow you to look though the scope in the dark so that you can see how the view is a touch different than a normal night vision or a fixed thermal scope.

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
Why Did Arthur Lose His Head?
On December 19th 2017, two days before the Winter Solstice my Random Dialogue's partner, Arthur Partridge, and I stopped off at the The Medicine Garden in Cobham for a late afternoon coffee.
Whilst parking the car, he seemed disorientated and agitated, arguing with a lady about a parking space, when there were plenty of others to choose from. I remained quiet and just observed what was unfolding. He took a while to calm down and was quite upset by the way he reacted and behaved, later thanking me for staying calm. We didn't know at the time, but this irritability and confusion was related to his deteriorating heart condition.
The Possibility of Courage
Today was the first time I have visited the gardens since and on arrival spotted the above sign: courage. Courage was one of Arthur's values, he used to say 'I am the Possibility of Courage, Love and Vitality'
A Beheaded Buddha
In the shopping area, I also noticed a 'whole' Buddha, and whilst checking the price and tilting him back slightly, his head fell off! Left holding the detached head and unable to balance it back on properly, nor spotting anyone to explain the incident to, I slowly edged away. Friends soon arrived for a Random Dialogues meeting and I told them the story, they discovered quite an amusing and interesting scene. We moved beheaded buddha into the Autumn Equinox sunshine and played with different settings on our cameras to capture the moment.
We were joined by his owner, curious to know what had happened. Over the weekend she explained he had been OK and wasn't in this place.
Your thinking determines actions, your actions determine the result
Feeling strangely embarrassed and uncomfortable to tell her the full tale, I remained quiet. We started to talk and found out she had recently returned from a Buddhist meditation retreat, she thought the broken ornament might be a lesson of some sort. As we spoke, I felt worse for simply not having the courage to speak the truth in the first instance, so told her what had happened, and apologised for moving him.
Practising Non Attachment
In Buddhism Non Attachment ultimately leads to care, compassion and freedom.
Have a search for this, you will see it doesn't mean to be cold, non caring or disassociated.
Perhaps the statue is practising non attachment, and my lesson was not to attach to the outcome of having the courage to speak the truth in the first place! What do you think?
The poem 'If' by Rudyard Kipling came to mind, here is the first verse:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
On the 21st of December, Arthur shared the note below on his timeline, we had been reading and discussing the book Buddhism Plain and Simple by Steve Hagen and asking our funny Buddhist friend Yeshe Trinley for clarity:
"Reality is something you can see. You can't conceive of it, but you can perceive it"
A Final Farewell
On the 22nd December 2017, after sipping more coffee together and putting the world to rights, Arthur walked back to his car and shortly after, I discovered him collapsed en route, a team of 3 ambulances were unable to revive him. The coroner confirmed the cause of death was a blocked artery.
Practising Attachment
As we left the Medicine Garden, Arthur and I took this photo of the sun setting. It's a nice memory to be attached to.
Keep Your Head On

|My friends and I were standing in a street when we noticed a bright blueish/white light 20 ft in the air that caused a power outage.
The three of us were stanging in the middle of 60th street. A road that cuts our small town in half. Only about 7 houses on each side. (Middle of nowhere town) WE are all about the same age, middle teens. We were just standing there when we looked towards the end of town directly over the road there was this brilliant flash of blue/whitish light, only a few meters above ground. About 5 seconds after the light presented itself, there was a shake in the air, a boom, but it wasnt loud, but it was strong. I felt it hit my chest like a box of rocks it was so strong. The power went out in the entire town. A few car alarms sounded and were going off. One of the street lights exploded and the light ambers floated to the ground. For about 10 seconds the blue/whitish light was the only light we could see. It didnt illuminate the entire town. But it was sorta outside of town, but still directly over the road. The power then returned and the light disappeared as teh street were lit up by street lights again. My name is Alex Nadelhoffer.
I'am 17 years old. My number is 1 262 ((number deleted)). I'am interested to hear someone elses view point on what I might have experienced. It wasnt rained or storming out either that night So it wasnt lightning. I was wondering if you could relate this to any other recent reports and if my details are similar to theirs.

Oetisheim (Maulbronn District, Baden, Germany)
Oetisheim, Maulbronn District, Württemberg (today belonging to Baden), Germany. Like Oelbronn and Oeschelbronn, situated on the border between Württemberg and Baden, Oetisheim was once on the route taken by many Anabaptists. In 1576 the Protestant abbot of Maulbronn, the prelate Mogirus, received instructions to examine and indoctrinate Hans Weisser, a tailor of Oetisheim, suspected of Anabaptist beliefs, in the presence of the local parson. In 1577 the tailor was again in the audience at an Anabaptist preaching service. Many of the attendants at this sermon had moved away from Oetisheim; some had returned. The latter were to be questioned about their reasons. Many of the members of the parish rarely went to church, to communion not at all; they were to be summoned and punished. In 1578 several had come back from Moravia in disappointment and had publicly recanted at Easter and communed. The frequently mentioned tailor was to be arrested when he came back from Moravia for a possible attempt to take his family.
In 1583 the old schoolteacher was replaced by his son, who had returned from Moravia, and was probably filling the children with heresy. The teacher was to hire a suitable substitute; his son was not to go to church if he wanted to live in Oetisheim. In 1596 Matthias Kappel, who had gone to Moravia sixteen years before, had without permission slipped into Oetisheim. He stayed there and in the vicinity, found shelter with his father and brought letters from Moravia. He held a meeting in the woods on Pentecost evening and took some young people away with him to Moravia.
The supreme council in Stuttgart decreed the following penalties: a severe reproof to the father of Matthias; a fine of three pounds to the gatekeeper and to those who lodged the Anabaptist; the same fine and a twenty-four-hour arrest to those who had attended the preaching service in the woods.
About 1619 ff. the matter of the inheritance of the Anabaptist Franz Walter of Oetisheim came up. Walter was chosen preacher of his Anabaptist brotherhood in 1597 and died in 1621. Another lawsuit developed in 1629 on the legacy of the Anabaptist Katherine Fessler of Oetisheim.
A church inspection record of 1592 relates of Oetisheim: "Many children are hired out to the neighboring Palatinate where Calvinism is practiced; the children may be infected by this poison. But the Anabaptists are more dangerous."
The involved lawsuit regarding Franz Walter's inheritance is found in:

In South Africa, a popular margarine brand recently tweeted: "1 out of 5 South African children do not eat breakfast in the morning."
This is part of Rama margarine's #GoodBreakfast marketing campaign. Naturally, "bread with Rama" was the first item shown in the accompanying video, followed by tea with milk, fruit and an egg.
1 out of 5 South African children do not eat breakfast in the morning. Find out what makes a #GoodBreakfast.⬇ pic.twitter.com/xTcKckOEqq
— Rama South Africa (@ramasouthafrica) July 12, 2017
Survey: Two-thirds had breakfast before school
Unilever, the company that owns Rama, told Africa Check via email that the source of their claim was the South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, released by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC).
Published in 2013, this nationally representative survey documented South Africans' health and nutrition habits. It was carried out between April and November 2012.
In the section it captured the eating habits of children, 19% of those surveyed said they did not eat breakfast. However, the respondents to this question were children aged between 10 and 14 years.
"Overall, more than two-thirds of children (68.4%) indicated that they ate breakfast before school," the survey states. The rest of the children (12.6%) only sometimes had breakfast.
Not representative of all SA children
Dr Nokuthula Vilakazi, a researcher at the Institute for Food, Nutrition and Well-being at the University of Pretoria, told Africa Check that the 2012 survey is the most recent research of children's eating habits.
She explained that the reasons for not eating breakfast "varied from not being hungry early in the morning, not having enough food in the house, people at home not having breakfast, cannot get up early enough and cannot make their own breakfast".
The age group surveyed is not representative of South African children of all ages, however.
Dr Zandile Mchiza, a senior research specialist at the HSRC, told Africa Check that "whoever is using this data needs to spell it out, saying that it is children [aged] 10 to 14 years, not all children".
Another survey: 72% of Grade 6 pupils had breakfast
As part of the Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality surveys, Grade 6 pupils are asked how often they ate certain meals.
According to the third and most recent survey results, 8% of the South African pupils did not eat breakfast in 2007. 11% of the children ate breakfast one to two days a week and 9% ate breakfast three to four days a week.
Conclusion: We don't know how many kids don't have breakfast
Recently, a popular margarine brand in South Africa posted on social media: "1 out of 5 children in South Africa do not eat breakfast in the morning."
While the information was based on a 2012 survey, it was not representative of children of all ages in South Africa, but only those between the ages of 10 and 14.
It may well be that 20% of all children in the country do not eat breakfast, but there is no current research backing up this claim. We therefore rate it unproven.

Global tumor ablation market is expected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2022, according to a new study by Grand View Research Inc. Rising prevalence of different forms of cancer and increasing technological advancements in the field of thermal ablation techniques are the most prominent drivers of the market.
Browse Full Report With TOC @ http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/tumor-ablation-market
Besides the use of thermal ablation, techniques such as laser ablation, irreversible electroporation, High Intensity Focused Ultrasonography (HIFU) are also clinically growing, concurrently propelling the tumor ablation industry.
Occurrence of lung, breast, and liver cancer is on the rise globally. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other organizations, currently, about 210,828 cases of lung cancer, 2.9 million cases of breast cancer, and over 2.7 million cases of prostate cancer are reported in the U.S. alone.
In terms of technological advancement, companies such as SonaCare Medical are coupling ablation techniques with other technologies to improve accuracy, performance, and level of care. SonaLink, a remote patient monitoring platform, was put to use along with Sonatherm ablation system to enable physicians to enhance patient care experience, thereby promoting market growth.
The industry is also anticipated to witness mergers and joint collaborations as a tool to curb rising competition. For instance, Boston Scientific Corporation acquired C.R. Bard Electrophysiology, which led to a 48.0% hike in profit for the former company.

Further key findings from the study suggest:
- Microwave ablation technology is expected to be the fastest growing segment over the forecast period at a CAGR of over 15.0%. Reduction in the procedure time and low cost for treatment are some of the attributes favoring growth.
- In terms of treatment, surgical ablation is predicted to form the largest market by 2022 with about 35.0% share. Liver and lung cancer ablation require surgical procedures, and since these form the largest and fastest growing segments, they concomitantly propel surgical ablation growth.
- Lung cancer forms the most lucrative market and is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment over the forecast period. By 2022, it is expected to contribute about 15.0% of the revenue share owing to its rising prevalence rate across the globe.
- According to market forecast for 2022, North America is expected to dominate the market and Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth. Augmenting growth in the cancer prevalence and rising healthcare expenditure in regions such as China, Korea, and India are factors responsible for this rapid growth.
- Major players of the market include HealthTronics, Galil Medical Inc., Angiodynamics, Medtronic Plc. (Covidien), Boston Scientific Corporation, SonaCare Medical, Misonix Inc., EDAP TMS S.A., and Neuwave Medical Inc. To retain market leadership, players such as Medtronic are working towards acquiring other companies and expanding their portfolio. For instance, in January 2016, Medtronic acquired the OsteoCool RF Ablation System from Baylis Medical.

|News & Views - A 2020 Vision for Food, Agriculture, and the Environment - March 1999: Are We Ready for a Meat Revolution? (IFPRI, 1999, 8 p.)
Global population in the year 2020 will be a third higher than in 1995, but demand for food will rise by an even higher proportion as incomes grow, diets diversify, and urbanization accelerates. The pressure on arable land is likely to intensify greatly. In Soil Degradation: A Threat to Developing-Country Food Security by 2020?, 2020 Discussion Paper 27, Sara J. Scherr examines the magnitude and effects of soil degradation now and in the future. She then spells out areas in which more research is needed and suggests policy measures that can lead to better soil quality.
On three-quarters of the world's agricultural land, soil quality has been relatively stable since the middle of the twentieth century. On the rest, however, degradation is widespread and the overall pace of degradation has accelerated in the past 50 years. Almost 75 percent of Central America's agricultural land has been seriously degraded, as has 20 percent of Africa's and 11 percent of Asia's, according to recent studies.
This degradation has affected agricultural productivity, agricultural income, and economic growth, reports Scherr. The cumulative productivity loss for cropland from soil degradation over the past 50 years is estimated to be about 13 percent, and for pasture lands 4 percent. In South and Southeast Asia estimates for total annual economic loss from degradation range from under 1 to 7 percent of agricultural gross domestic product: Estimates for eight African countries show annual economic losses ranging from under 1 percent of agricultural GDP in Madagascar to 9 percent in Zimbabwe.
Poor people tend to suffer more than others from soil degradation. They are particularly dependent on agriculture, on annual crops (which generally degrade soils more than perennial crops), and on common property lands (which generally suffer greater degradation than privately managed land). The poor also often lack the capacity to invest in land improvements.
Estimates of future land loss due to degradation vary widely, from 5 to 12 million hectares a year. Assuming that land loss continues at current rates, an additional 150 to 360 million hectares would go out of production by 2020. Although degradation appears likely to pose only a modest threat to global food supply or trade by 2020, some groups and regions will be particularly affected. Countries or subregions that depend on agriculture as the engine of economic growth will probably suffer. Degradation will threaten the consumption of poor farmers in the degrading regions. The greatest problems will probably occur in the densely populated marginal lands of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, especially where markets are less developed and inputs such as fertilizer are expensive. Significant threats to food supply may also result from the salinization of irrigated lands in Asia.
To combat soil degradation, Scherr argues, policymakers must support broad-based agricultural development and enhance farmer's' incentives and ability to invest in land improvements. In some areas, policies to promote information sharing about existing land husbandry practices and to support research on technologies to reduce conservation costs may be sufficient for addressing the degradation problem. But more specific policies and investments are also necessary, says Scherr, and should be targeted to areas where the economic effects of degradation - on supply, income, or consumption - are identified as most serious. Depending on conditions in each country, these might include finding low-cost sources of plant nutrients to replace fertilizer use, investing in proper water drainage systems, finding alternative uses for saline or degradation-prone lands, reforming land use regulations, helping farmers invest in improving soil quality, and supporting farmers' organizations to address local problems.
In Memoriam
Henry W. Kendall, chairman of the Union of Concerned Scientists and a member of IFPRI's 2020 Vision International Advisory Committee, died February 15 in Florida while making an underwater photography dive. Dr. Kendall was a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose work revealed the existence of quarks, small particles inside atoms. As a founder of the Union of Concerned Scientists, Kendall also brought science to bear on public policy worldwide, speaking out on issues such as nuclear arms control and world food security. His voice calling for the wise and just use of science will be greatly missed.

Career Spotlight: Alexa Viani, Media and Public Affairs Officer, National Gallery of Victoria
Alexa Viani says that she's very lucky to work at the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia's oldest, and largest, cultural institution.
"It's an Australian icon," she says. "Everybody knows the NGV."
Viani works as a Media and Public Affairs Officer at the gallery. She successfully applied for the job after one of her lecturers encouraged her to take on short-term work there while she was studying a Master of Marketing Communication.
"It's pretty incredible to work here. We've cracked the top twenty visited museums in the world, and the Van Gogh exhibition earlier this year was the most successful ticketed exhibition in the NGV's 156-year history. It's an amazing time to be here!"
She studied the Master of Marketing Communication because she wanted options. "I've always had varying interests," Viani explains, "and wasn't solely interested confining my learning to one area. It was a real balance of business school subjects and more creative, communications-focused subjects."
Rather than approaching her Masters with a 'get in get your degree and get out' mentality, Viani capitalised on the connections and other opportunities her Masters opened up. As well as taking coursework subjects, she wrote a minor thesis analysing the problem of 'slacktivism'.
"I looked at how Not-For-Profit organisations can communicate their messages effectively online, without having people just give them likes without any long-term benefits or solutions," she explains.
Viani currently divides her time between the NGV and volunteering for the Office of the Public Advocate as a Community Visitor.
"I make quarterly visits to community and group homes… we go in and check on the residents' living standards, how engaged their lives are. We complete reports that can raise issues with management of the service and the Department of Health and Human Services. It's a really rewarding program."
As for those wanting to study the Master of Marketing Communication, Viani urges postgraduates to make the most of their time at university.
"Your lecturers and tutors work in the industry, and they can help steer you with career advice. It's about getting the most out of your degree that you can. For many people, it will probably be the last time you'll be at university."
Career Advice
There's not always one route to get to where you want to be. If it's not the right time don't give up, find other ways in.
Try as many things as you can to make certain that you know what you want to do. I always found that volunteering in something I thought I'd want to get into, just to see if it was something I'd like to be part of, was a great way to expand your skill-set while also figuring out whether it's a career path you do want to follow.

Advierta este papel entrará en llamas en diez segundos ! If you can read Spanish you might have already dropped this paper. However, if you cannot, let me translate the first line for you. It reads…"Caution, this paper will burst into flames in ten seconds!" Imagine yourself as a foreigner working in a country without being able to speak or read the language. Many foreign workers are too embarrassed or afraid of termination to admit that they do not understand instructions or safety procedures. A recent Census Bureau report indicates the number of United States residents for whom English is a foreign language is nearly 32 million 1. Mexican immigrants make up the largest minority group in our country today and many of these individuals have poor English language skills or none at all. They come to this country for an opportunity to work and make a better life. In order for these employees and their fellow workers to be protected properly, a way must be found to communicate safety information to them. We must familiarize ourselves with the way in which people communicate and learn and adapt our techniques to get the message across most efficiently.
A 16 year old Mexican immigrant working for a construction subcontractor from Texas who had been contracted by a framing contractor in Oklahoma, who in turn was working for a general construction contractor in Alabama, fell to his death from a roof at the construction site in Alabama. The Texas based contractor had a safety plan but it was written only in English. The general contractor in Alabama had a safety plan for its employees but it did not make any provision for subcontractors. Evidence indicated that the crew understood little or no English. Evidence gathered during OSHA interviews of the crewmembers, indicated that the crew had no knowledge of the safety plan 2. There were many mistakes made in this scenario and we must be mindful of this type of situation due to the changing composition of the modern workplace. As managers, we will face employees with various cultural and language backgrounds and these employees must be a vital and productive part of the overall scheme. The general contractor in this case should have incorporated any subcontracted employees in its safety plan. In so doing, these contingencies are provided for before they occur and may limit the company's liability. With the rampant litigation in our country it is very important to cover all the bases where safety is concerned. The safety plan should include all employees and their unique language or culture situation. The subcontractor made the crucial mistake of hiring an underage individual. The further error occurred in not making arrangements for a non English speaking person to be made aware of all proper safety procedures.
The watchword of the new century is without a doubt "Globalization". Globalization has been defined as the evolution of economies and technologies across national borders. However, the term encompasses more phenomena than merely an exchange of currency and technology. Globalization has also created a migration of beliefs, cultures, languages and philosophies between the nations and peoples of the world. With the explosion of technological innovation, people around the world can communicate ideas, beliefs and social commentary in mere seconds and goods and services can be exchanged in hours or days. People from all areas of a country, or from around the world can travel to distant locations in search of freedom, adventure or financial betterment. Therefore we can conclude that globalization is a way to express the coming together of many nations and cultures, forming a new world environment of many varied and unique peoples living and working side by side. Even within our own borders there exists a multicultural and often multilingual work force. We find ourselves living and working next to people who may speak a different language than ours, have different beliefs and values than ours and reflect a different culture from our own. It is very important to realize that our safety and theirs depends on mutual respect and an ability to communicate with one another.
Global is a new term in the workplace as well. Businesses employ people from different cultures and backgrounds. We work with those who speak a different language, whether in our own company or the companies that we do business with. The bottom line is still the same, we all want to do our jobs efficiently and make a profit. The aviation industry outsources much of its maintenance work today. The industry figure for outsourced maintenance was recently reported at $2.5 billion. Ted Ozdemer, vice president of technical and engineering for Morten, Beyer and Agnew, says that within ten years as much as 80% of airline maintenance work will be outsourced 5. Safety is paramount in the aviation industry and these maintenance operations are under intense scrutiny. Studies are currently under way to uncover unsafe practices and procedures at the sites that perform this outsourced work. The number of incorrect parts, poor safety procedures and out of date information has been alarming. Communication is highlighted as the core reason for the deficiencies. It is evident that language barriers are a prime reason for putting workers and consumers at risk and new efforts must be made to tear down the barriers and establish clear lines of communication.
Outsourcing has added new dimensions for management as well. Outsourcing refers to the delegation of internal production tasks to an external entity 3. Contracting out certain aspects of the companies operation to outside sources can be profitable and time-saving, but it brings new challenges in the safety field. "Offshoring", which is simply outsourcing to companies outside the borders of your country, can sometimes expand these challenges further. We must be aware of our responsibilities for the safety of our employees, the safety of companies that we are affiliated with and also the ultimate safety of our consumers. It is important that we communicate and implement good safety procedures to those employees directly working for us and to those who are subcontracted labor. Ever changing international law and our favorable public image dictate that we begin to pay attention to these areas.
As in the earlier example of the 16 year old immigrant worker who died in Alabama, management must be aware not only of workers who perform their duties 'in-house', but also take into consideration the safety of workers who might perform duties at other locations under contract 2. Workers who are employed by other firms that business is outsourced to might also fall under our care, if not legally, then at the very least morally. Legal responsibility and the public image of our company should be foremost in our minds in regards to safety procedures. When the decision is being made whether or not to outsource, these safety issues should be addressed.
The world's largest 100 financial companies are expected to transfer about $356 billion of operations offshore in the next 5 years. Two million jobs will also make the journey. More than a million jobs will be relocated along the Indian Ocean rim in the next five years. The reason for the shift to overseas locations and employees is of course, profit. The aforementioned 100 financial giants expect to see a savings of $1.4 billion each by the year 2008. Surveys have estimated that the cost savings of shifting operations overseas is approximately 39 percent 4. Salaries are lower, operating costs are lower, government restrictions are far more lenient and of course safety and environmental standards are considerably lower than in the United States.
The employees in these offshore locations should have the same right to safe working conditions as we expect for ourselves. Whether employed by our firm or contracted to perform a service, we may be legally linked to these employees and therefore liable for possible litigation. Opening the borders of business around the world comes with a responsibility to learn how to communicate effectively. If you have ever dealt with a companies call center to resolve a problem or ask about a product, you have most likely encountered some of the difficulties of offshore communications. Most call centers today are shifting to overseas location and chances are if you are speaking with one of the representatives, they are in India or the Philippines. Even those foreign workers, who seem to have a grasp on the technical side of the English language, may have problems with the double meanings and nuances of some words.
For the safety manager the existence of a diverse workforce with varying cultures and different languages, presents a unique problem. How do you effectively convey the proper safety information to all employees in a way that is real and understandable to them? Safety is education and education is, at its core, communication. We communicate safety information through training sessions, posters and signs, and literature. To be sure the message gets across effectively to everyone we must first understand the communication process. We have a need to educate our employees concerning the "safety culture" of our organization and to have them understand and practice what they learn.
In order for communication to exist there must always be a sender, a medium and a receiver. We as management are the sender. The message, of course, is safety. The medium is the literature, signs or symbols, or the spoken word in training sessions. The receivers are the employees who make up our workplace. If the medium is ineffective or if the receiver fails to comprehend the message then there is no communication. The job of the safety manager is to ensure that the message is presented to the employees in a form that they are sure to comprehend. Even among a group of individuals who speak the same language and are basically from the same cultural background, there often exist many different learning styles. This approach to learning emphasizes the fact that individuals perceive and process information in very different ways. The learning styles theory implies that how much individuals learn has more to do with whether the educational experience is geared toward their particular style of learning than whether or not they are "smart." For instance, some people learn visually and would be influenced strongly by signs and symbols. Other individuals may be tactile learners, meaning that they learn by use of their hands. This individual would most likely be impacted strongly by physically repeating a certain process time after time, or by handling the tools or instruments in question. An individual might retain the knowledge more effectively by simply reading a safety manual or pamphlet. So even with people of a like group, effectively communicating the required information can prove somewhat complicated.
If a workforce consists of multi- or bilingual individuals, or possibly Non English Speaking (NES) people, the task of communication becomes even more difficult. However, most safety-training programs are geared toward English speaking people. The cost of translating documents, signs and posters to other languages is slight compared to the potential costs of accidents due to poor communication. Lost productivity, workers compensation, equipment repair, cleanup and damages awarded from lawsuits are some of these costs that might be negated by just a little effort to communicate safety information in a clear and comprehensible manner to all employees.
The culture that one identifies with is an important influencing factor when it comes to learning and practicing safety procedures. For instance, countries such as the United States, Canada and Great Britain have an individualistic culture where people view circumstances as to how they will affect the individual. Members of this type of culture are considered "doers", in that they are trying to achieve certain objectives in life, "keeping up with the Jones's" so to speak. Internal pressures such as guilt or pleasure motivate people in this type of culture. If you are a member of mainstream American culture you would probably respond more readily to statements such as "Follow these safety procedures or you could lose your job" or "Following these safety procedures could mean a raise in salary." Mexico, on the other hand, has a collectivist culture that is group oriented. An individual in this type of culture is more concerned with the outcome as it pertains to the whole of society rather than the individual. Members of these cultures are considered "beers", meaning that they experience life, are tradition oriented and focused on the group as a whole 6. External pressures and control are the motivating factors that guide members of this culture. If you were a member of Mexican culture you would probably respond to such statements as, "Follow these safety procedures because management wants you to" or "Follow these safety procedures because it will benefit your fellow employee."
It is important to establish a safety culture for our employees to work in. The term safety culture is equivalent to what we think of when the word culture is used to identify a group of people. It is a set of beliefs, traditions and practices that a group of people hold common to themselves and that binds them together as a unique entity. Therefore a safety culture is a way of behaving, thinking and acting that permeates every individual in the group and perpetuates its self simply by existing. To create this culture the keyword has to be ownership. Employees must take ownership of these ideas and practices in order for the culture to flourish and produce the desired results for management. The culture will communicate the desired safety procedures to its members as part of the group behavior. By establishing safety teams consisting of member of the group, the members can experience a sense of ownership by being a part of the creation and implementation of the safety procedures. Those members of the workforce who come from a traditionally collectivist culture can be of great benefit in establishing this environment.
Techniques for Communicating Safety
If any program or endeavor in the workplace is to succeed, there must be a commitment from upper management. In a global workplace attention needs to be paid to the various cultures, languages and differences in the workforce. Communicating the necessary safety information in a comprehensible format can be justified from a cost standpoint with a little research and work. When management is made aware of the potential costs of not properly communicating with the employees, the cost of translation and various education materials will most probably be viewed as a sound investment. As mentioned earlier, the well being and positive attitude of the employees will boost productivity, limit downtime and turnover, and make for an efficient, more pleasant working environment. Ownership is a key element in fostering a successful program. If an employee feels as if heshe has a vested interest in the outcome of the process, then they are more likely to consider it important that they learn and practice the applications that are being presented to them 7.
As a safety manager you should develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive written safety program. In order to make the program as effective as possible for all employees of every language background and culture, a good manager should…
– develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program written in all the languages that apply to your particular employees.
– provide comprehensive safety training to employees to include, but not be limited to, safe work practices, hazard awareness, identification, and avoidance.
– ensure that workers who are part of a multilingual workforce comprehend instructions in safe work procedures for the tasks to which they are assigned.
– ensure that international warning signs and symbols are placed in the appropriate locations and are readily visible.
– ensure compliance with child labor laws, which prohibit youth less than 18 years of age from conducting work recognized to be especially hazardous.
– Additionally, general contractors should ensure through contract language that all subcontractors on site have appropriate safety programs in all appropriate languages.
Following are some further recommendations to make safety training more effective.
– The use of visual aids
– Participatory training, involving employees
– Playing games
– Turn testing situations into learning sessions
– Use a translator when necessary
– Offer hands-on training
– Show workers empathy from management
– Always positive reinforcement
– Context of training, why the information is necessary
– Creating ownership in the safety culture
Take into account the diversity of your workforce when considering the safety environment. Form safety committees to establish a sense of ownership among the employees. By incorporating members of the various cultures contained in the workforce, you can better ensure that the message will be communicated to all members of the group. Employees who identify with a similar culture or language skill will obviously have a greater chance of successfully communicating information to one another than with someone of a different culture or language. A fellow employee might be able to reach a worker and bring about a better understanding of the safety environment in ways that you never though of. Try to overcome the barriers of language and culture by using applicable languages in pamphlets, signs and posters whenever possible. Do not be hesitant to use translators in training sessions and to translate written communication to the appropriate language. You may also want to establish classes to help the non English speaking employees with their English skills. This may help them better understand company rules and the safety procedures you wish to impart to them. You may be able to develop a happier, more productive employee and possibly a more valued member of the community. When training employees, especially non English speaking employees, a good idea is to always have them repeat to you what they understood you to say or repeat steps that they have observed. This can prove very helpful in determining if the desired point is getting across. Have your safety committees do interviews and run spot inspections to help determine if their fellow employees really understand the goals that we are aiming for. Feedback is an extremely important part of any system. You will want to receive feedback from as many sources as possible to ensure that all members of the organization are moving in the same direction with the same purpose.
Community members of diverse cultures can be invited to hold seminars or lectures. Certain employees may identify with these members of the community who are like themselves and thus be more responsive to their message. This not only enhances employee contributions to the company by making individuals feel a valued member of the group, but may also have a positive impact on the image of the company in the community at large. I have worked at several organizations alongside employees of various backgrounds. Some of them had little or no English skills and I have experienced first hand the problems that they encounter. Even though it may sound like a cliché, people are truly the same everywhere. We all have the same basic needs, desires and fears, it is only in how we communicate these aspects of who we are to the world that make us different. The effort to establish communication between different peoples is really minimal if the desire and determination is there.
The last four years of my life have been filled with gaining knowledge in the field of education. The main purpose of this paper has been to enlighten the reader concerning the education of employees with various backgrounds and language skills. As I have learned in many classes, there is no one right way to proceed when it comes to educating people and all avenues should be explored in order to do the job properly. Establishing communication is the key and must be the first order of business in relaying information to another person. We should learn how to communicate effectively with those who are around us on a daily basis. In so doing we will find that not only can we better understand the person who is culturally different from ourselves, but also we may find we can communicate with members of our own culture on a much higher and more satisfying level.

Phạm Minh Tuấn, the CEO of FPT Telecom, speaks to the newspaper Kinh tế & Đô thị (Economic and Urban Affairs) about the group's determination to solve the serious problem of traffic congestion in Hà Nội through its IT application.
Hà Nội is has the most dense urban transport in Việt Nam. To solve this problem, we need to understand the city's transport characteristics. In your opinion, what are they?
Motorcycles run on the same lane with cars. This is the most salient problem. I don't think we can initiate our own solution. We have to base ourselves on technology and then adjust it to our own circumstances. In addition, we have to conduct research on the behaviour of Vietnamese motorcycles drivers. After these steps, we'll develop proposals for Hà Nội transport.
As we all know, Hà Nội and Hồ Chí Minh are the two biggest cities of the country with millions of vehicles. Quite a few investors have come to the two cities, but after studying the traffic situation, they all said "we need to conduct a special model for Việt Nam" and "we need much time and money for the project". After hearing their comments, we decided that we, Vietnamese will do it. We're confident that we can.
Would you elaborate on the idea of developing a smart transport system?
FPT's scheme will have three main concepts. First, it must be able to solve the problem of traffic congestion. Second, it must reduce traffic accidents. And third, when traffic congestion is reported, the system will immediately send a report to the rapid response management agency so that it can resolve the problem immediately.
Let me give you a specific example. After receiving a report on traffic congestion at a certain locality, the smart transport system will immediately give instructions to the nearest rapid response management unit on how to solve it. If there is a serious accident it will immediately dispatch an ambulance to the site. In the meantime, satellite images of the accident will be recorded. With such rapid response, I'm confident that the road will be clear as soon as possible. At present, a serious accident often takes about 30-45 minutes to clear and resume traffic.
To introduce such a novel transport system, does FPT have to learn from other countries?
No doubt about that. We have to draw lessons learned from many cities in Europe, Australia or China and then try to select the most suitable to our own situation.
Once the co-operation agreement between the Hà Nội People's Committee and the FPT is signed, we'll establish a working team involving representatives from several agencies, including the Hà Nội Department of Transport, the Hà Nội Police Department, the Department of Information and Communication, the Department of Health and others. We'll then send members of the working team on study tours abroad and they will be able to come up with the most suitable model for Việt Nam.
Does the FPT need further support from the Hà Nội People's Committee and relevant agencies?
The city's input data about its transport infrastructure is very valuable for us. Here I just want to say that we're not building a new house or introducing a new solution. We'll try to build on what is already available to make it work better. That's why we need active support from the Department of Information and Communication, the Department of Transport, the Hà Nôi's Police Department and others.
The FPT promises that the work on the new system will start and be completed between 2017 and 2020. The project will be implemented in six-month stages. In other words, some project portions will be totally new, some will be repaired and some upgraded. Hopefully, by 2020, all FPT applications will work perfectly as they are designed to perform.
As an investor, do you think Hà Nội authorities have honoured their commitment to work side by side with their investors?
No doubt about that. Mayor Nguyễn Đức Chung is an active participant in all the meetings about IT applications for improving the city's transport.
As we all know, in any project, particularly the application of information technology (IT), active involvement of the city mayor is very important. It's a commitment from Hà Nội on administrative reform, change in the working procedures and the application of modern IT. Of course, at the end technology is only a supporting tool for government agencies to perform their assigned duties better.
I'm confident that Hà Nội will have better traffic flow when this project is completed._VNS

With rental investments, timely and consistent rent is everything, and rent collection sounds easy: the rent comes in on time and the check always clears. But it doesn't take long for rental property owners to see it is not quite so simple. Even well-screened tenants can hit a difficult patch, and the owner finds themselves in the collections business, maybe even wading through legal problems and the eviction process. Particularly if you are managing the property yourself, you can get emotionally involved and prolong the process.
Our rent collection process is designed to address all the common delays.
- The process starts back at the beginning with rigorous tenant qualification.
- We communicate expectations and our firm-but-fair rent policies up front.
- We offer tenants incentives for paying rent on time through the Specialized Property Management Resident Club, a program that can save your tenants hundreds of dollars a month on the things they buy every day.
- We then rely on our technology-driven platform to allow tenants to pay online for faster, electronic funding.
- The funds are electronically sent through ACH into the owner's account for the fastest possible payment.
- If rent is not paid in a timely manner, our automated collections process begins to resolve the matter as quickly as the law allows. Our national collections presence and a respectful-yet-tough team works diligently to enforce the lease.
- Should an eviction become necessary, we offer comprehensive services with support from our in-house legal counsel.
We also offer other services to help you with the financial aspects of managing rental property, including quarterly independent audits on all owner trust accounts, audited year-end financials and owner 1099 preparation.
- Set expectations with tenants early.
- Establish professional but tough collection processes.
- Remind tenants immediately if rent is late.
- Rely on technology to ensure no time is wasted.
- Stay up to date on the relevant laws and regulations, particularly time-sensitive clauses.
- When evictions are necessary, take effective action to minimize rent-free days.
- Finally, let the process, not emotions, dictate your actions. As your tenants are adults and you have set expectations early, clearly and respectfully, so the outcome is in their hands.

Big Brother 14 has been confirmed and the BB14 Application form and rules have been released. Big Brother 14 Casting Calls should be known in March.
I've always said Big Brother Brazil was more like a softcore pron than a traditional Big Brother Show. Now it looks like one houseguest may have taken it way too far. Reports are saying that 31 year old male model (Daniel Echaniz) engaged in sexual behavior with a fellow passed out houseguests (23 year old student Monique Amin). Pretty shocking, Daniel Echaniz says he was "too Drunk" and doesn't remember the incident happening. The victim found out about it happening after production informed her in the diary room. This is why they don't give too much alcohol to Big Brother USA houseguests.
Police are now investigating the incident. Daniel has been removed from the show and if found guilty faces 8-10 years in a Brazilian prison. Big Brother Brazil is MASSIVELY popular last year it raked in 156million votes and is considered one of Brazil's most popular TV show.
Endemol has declined to comment on the incident.
Brazil: Police probe allegations of rape on TV
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian police are investigating allegations of sexual assault on the country's Big Brother reality TV show.
Rio de Janeiro police spokeswoman Camila Donato says participants were to be questioned as part of the probe on Tuesday. That's a day after the wildly popular program announced that contestant Daniel Echaniz was being thrown out over suspicions of "gravely inadequate" behavior.
The 31-year-old male model was booted off the show after allegations emerged that he engaged in sexual behavior with contestant Monique Amin after she'd passed out.
The alleged incident took place following a party Saturday. Program footage shows the two in a bed, the leopard print sheets moving as Amin lays inert.
Dailymail has some pictures taken from the feeds that shows the alleged behavior occurring. Now the real kicker is this reported by dailymail.
"Throughout the incident the female contestant appeared unconscious.
The next morning Ms Amin was asked about the incident in the diary room, and appeared to know little of what had happened."
The Mirror is now reporting that Daniel Friends are calling these accusations as being "targeted by racists". This year he is the only Black contestant on the show.

top – Monki (here)
skinny jeans – Pimkie (get them here)
pumps* – Donna Più
bag – Coccinelle (borrowed from Irina)
Since I've been working super hard this month I decided to get myself a few new pieces for autumn. I've been browsing through the online stores for hours last week and came across some lovely stuff. One among them is this wonderful pied de poule fringe cape from Manila Grace, an Italian brand which you definitely have a look at here. They have so many great ponchos and capes. Moreover, my love for jeans with details returned and found these cool ones from Pimkie (usually I would never enter that store but online they looked so pretty). Unfortunately, you can't see the detail of my new Monki top so well, which I'll show you in a separate post. You see – my inspiration is definitely back and I hope you like this autumn look!
Wish you a wonderful day!
