To foster high-quality fellowship programs through support, recognition and
visibility, the ACFAS Board of Directors approved the ACFAS Recognized
Fellowship initiative. Programs meeting a list of specific criteria are officially Recognized by the College, which will in turn provide these programs support. Fellows of these Recognized programs will benefit
from lower dues rates and recognition of program completion.
For your program to be considered for official Recognition by the College, you will be
required to submit an application. Completed applications for the current
academic year, received by May 1, will begin the recognition process
beginning in May. Decisions of the Fellowship Committee will be communicated to the applicants by August. For newly created programs that show they have met all
minimal criteria for recognition, they will be held in Conditional Status until
the following year. If you are interested in receiving the application, please
send your request to Michelle Kennedy, Director of Membership, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
List of Recognized and Conditional Status Fellowship ProgramsThe list of the ACFAS Recognized Fellowships have all met and, in most cases, far exceeded the College's minimal standards for recognition. Conditional Status programs are in their inaugural year and will be considered for full recognition after the first Fellow completes their matriculation.
ACFAS Recognized Fellowships Page
The Fellowship Committee created a threshold of minimal requirements for an ACFAS Recognized
Fellowship. These recommendations are an analysis of processes and support
structures in place to assure adequate post-graduate level training is occurring
in the fellowship without credentialing such programs. Minimal requirements will
be evaluated through communication with the fellowship program's director and
staff. The Fellowship Committee Chair or a committee member may conduct a site
visit if absolutely necessary to correctly evaluate the program and its ability
to meet these requirements. The Fellowship Committee reviews compliance with
these criteria on an annual basis.
Minimal Criteria for an ACFAS Recognized FellowshipFunding for Fellowship Positions -
Please Note: If a fellowship program wishes to fund its position through federal
GME funds, it first must seek program approval from CPME.
The ACFAS Fellowship Committee has created recommendations for ACFAS to
foster and support Fellowships available to DPMs. These criteria will allow
ACFAS to support and incentivize high-quality fellowship training for
Programs labeled as "ACFAS Recognized Fellowship" will be provided the

#BizTrends2020: Bringing the female voice to the forefront of radio in 2020
Boni Mchunu, general manager of East Coast Radio.
Hashtags were started, marches were planned, government promised to act – President Cyril Ramaphosa described femicide as a "national crisis".
#FairnessFirst: Stepping up to keep SA's females safe
Local media covered the general sense of unrest and discomfort in the country last week, following the spate of femicide cases that spurred the nation to say #Enoughisenough and ask #AmInext? In addition to marches, a number of platforms have been voicing their support...
Leigh Andrews 9 Sep 2019
Several of the cases made international headlines, with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, visiting the post office where 19-year-old Uyinene was raped and killed in Cape Town, to show her solidarity with women.
"Simi kunye kulesisimo (We stand together in this moment)," the Duchess wrote on a ribbon.
Standing together
After all that has been said and done, we still wake up to a new horror story about gender-based violence (GBV) and femicide almost every day.
Are our cries for help not being heard?
#FairnessFirst: Taking action beyond #16DaysofActivism
Unfortunately, gender-based violence is a harsh reality of everyday life for the majority of South African women. Here's what's being done to not just take a stand but also act to end GBV this #16DaysofActivism and beyond, with UN Women's global #OrangetheWorld campaign...
Leigh Andrews 2 Dec 2019
Miss South Africa 2019 and now Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi, said it best when she was asked what reason women had to keep smiling when they are continuously faced with emotional, physical, sexual, and economic abuse in SA.
We have absolutely no reason to keep smiling. South African women are dying every day and most people are doing nothing about it.As a woman – and the MD of one of the most influential media brands in KwaZulu-Natal, I feel that it is imperative to ensure that the female voice is prominent and heard.
Radio is a great place to have discussions, create awareness, and share impactful stories that can instantly impact thousands of people.
The relationship between radio and its listeners is based on mutual faith, trust, and friendship.
#BizTrends2019: Integrating digital with traditional media
As the new media landscape continues to expand, there is a growing need to find innovative ways of marrying the 'old' with the 'new'...
Boni Mchunu 8 Jan 2019
This friendship is why we need to bring the female voice to the forefront of radio in 2020.
Females to the forefront
Radio is a part of every social group. In KwaZulu-Natal, East Coast Radio (ECR) is regarded as the fabric that binds KZN together. ECR plays a key role in socialising, informing, and connecting people to find what makes them happy, especially during the hard times.
Radio is central to the community it serves. Radio can be used to change the lives of marginalised communities, like women. In South Africa, radio gives a voice and courage to fight the rights of the marginalised people. I personally find radio as a powerful platform to create awareness about various issues, such as politics, health, violence, and climate change.Therefore, government and businesses in South Africa and in other economies, continue to utilise radio to disseminate information. As a South African, I find radio today still very relevant and it continues to be even alongside the growth of digital.
During 2019's '16 Days of Activism', ECR Newswatch interviewed Durban-based abuse survivor Rohini Bisaal about the years of emotional and mental abuse she suffered at the hands of her on-and-off boyfriend.
Her story was well received and touched many listeners.
"Rohini Bisaal, this takes courage especially in the Indian community as woman are scared to tarnish their so-called reputation and suffer at the hands of supposed loved ones, so well done and proud that you have gone public, women power is what you symbolise," one woman wrote on Facebook.
Radio's role in women's movements
Radio plays such an important role for women's movements to communicate any issues affecting them, such as women's rights and gender equality, and to initiate positive, open dialogues where women can express themselves freely.
For many countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, radio is helping to tackle issues such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), other forms of violence against women, and promoting women's political participation and leadership.
Rural areas can and must be connected in Africa
The potential of Information and Communication Technologies can enhance rural communities opportunities in Africa...
Nora Wahby 10 Dec 2019
Thanks to the commitment of grassroots women's groups, word is spreading through urban and rural areas so that women know their rights and can claim their rights accordingly.
In South Africa, we have seen women like Thuli Madonsela, Basetsane Kumalo, and Khanyi Dhlomo influencing the media landscape positively.
Thuli Madonsela team summits Kili in aid of dignity for women
Two senior representatives of legal technology company, LexisNexis South Africa, summited Mount Kilimanjaro on Women's Day alongside Professor Thuli Madonsela, after a gruelling five-day journey to the top of Africa's highest peak...
LexisNexis 14 Aug 2019
Stories about GBV and femicide in the media paint a sad picture about the safety of women in South Africa, but I am hopeful and excited about the future of radio, especially where female voices are concerned. That will only help fight the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide in the country.
In the words of the Duchess of Sussex, we stand together in this moment.

Complete Story
Most local stations going ahead with digital TV transition
By: Jeff Richgels and Bill Novak, The Capital Times
Most stations in the Madison market are going ahead with the transition from analog to digital broadcasting on Feb. 17, even though an extension of the transition date to June 12 is all but a done deal.
The bill, which awaits only the signature of supporter President Barack Obama, allows stations to go earlier than June 12 if they desire. Hundreds of stations are expected to transition early, according to multiple media reports.
The Federal Communications Commission says 61 percent of TV stations (1,089) should be able to turn off their analog signal before June 12 if they choose without causing interference to other stations, and "most" of the remaining 700 or so stations "may" also be able to do so, Multichannel.com reported.
WKOW-TV is going forward on Feb. 17, according to a press release posted by WKOW on its Web site, as are WISC-TV and NBC15. MyMadisonTV, which is a sister station to WISC, also would go ahead on Feb. 17, said Tom Bier, WISC-TV station manager. NBC15 also is going forward then, the station said on its 6 p.m. newscast Wednesday night.
FOX 47 is uncertain if it will switch on Feb. 17 or after, "but we'll announce it on air within the next couple of days," chief engineer Kerry Maki told The Capital Times.
At WHA-TV21, the public television station in Madison, both analog and digital signals are being sent right now, so people with analog TVs still will get public television after Feb. 17, at least for several weeks, before the station goes all-digital sometime in March.
Broadcasting in both analog and digital presents extra costs to stations. Bier didn't have an exact figure but said it was a few thousand dollars per month.
And while Nielsen reported that as of Feb. 1, 5.1 percent of U.S. households are "completely unready" for the digital transition, government figures indicate that less than 1 percent are unready here.
"We're comfortable that Madison is one of the markets that's really ready," Bier said. "And at some point you have to make the switch. It's something we've been promising for over a year."
Those with cable, satellite or phone service TV will not be affected by the digital transition.
Those with no subscription TV service and an analog TV must get subscription TV, buy a new digital TV or get a converter box to continue receiving TV on an analog set after the digital transition.
The government has been offering two $40 coupons per household for the converter boxes, which cost about $40 to $60. But the program ran into various problems, and there currently is a waiting list, although a coupon is not necessary to buy a converter box.
According to government figures passed on by Bier, as of Jan. 29 just 6,219, or 0.34 percent, of households in the 11-county Madison "Designated Market Area" are on the waiting list for government coupons. And just 3,007 of those households have only analog TV -- the others also have TVs that are ready for the digital transition.
The bottom line is that, based on those figures, less than 0.2 percent of the households are at risk of losing TV on Feb. 17.
Of course, there likely are households that have done nothing so far and also are at risk, Bier acknowledged.
"You don't know how many," Bier said. "There probably will be those types of situations whenever we go, whether it's March 1 or June 12. The practical matter is: Will it ever be guaranteed to be 100 percent of people ready?"
Because they know some people will be caught unprepared whenever the transition happens, stations are making plans to help those people.
"Obviously we want people to watch television," Bier said.
WISC plans to take analog programming off the air about 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 17 and replace it with a screen that states that analog broadcasting will end at midnight and anyone with questions should call a number that will be posted, Bier said.
"We'll have a phone bank of people here to help people through that," he said.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., author of the delay bill, is encouraging broadcasters not to rush en masse to pull the plug on analog before June 12, Multichannel.com reported.
Rockefeller is urging TV stations to "put consumers first." By that, he said he meant: "While broadcasters are still permitted to move forward on February 17, and some will do so, I hope that many will think of the needs of their customers and carefully weigh their options. This bill gives them an opportunity to stay the course through to June 12 until more help can be put in place."
Acting FCC Chairman Michael Copps was happy with the delay, Multichannel.com reported.
"I welcome congressional passage of the DTV Delay Act," he said in a statement. "It has long been clear to me -- and it's even clearer since I became acting FCC chairman two weeks ago -- that the country is not prepared to undertake a nationwide transition in 12 days without unacceptably high consumer dislocation.
"The additional four months provided by the law affords urgently needed time for a more phased transition, including a consumer-friendly converter box coupon program, stepped-up consumer outreach and support -- particularly for vulnerable populations -- and dealing with coverage, antenna and reception issues that went too long unaddressed."

Antitrust Claims Against Ford Canada Revived
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — Ford once again faces claims that it fixed U.S. car markets by refusing to import cheaper Canadian versions of its vehicles, after a federal judge partially overturned a ruling in the carmaker's favor.
Tuesday's ruling, issued by Judge Timothy Reardon of the California First Appellate District Court of Appeal, held that the San Francisco trial court hearing the case wrongfully granted summary judgment to Ford Canada for its alleged involvement in the purported antitrust scheme.
Reardon wrote that "the trial court excluded vast amounts of potentially highly relevant evidence related to Ford Canada's alleged co-conspirators on hearsay grounds."
The judge also said there is evidence Ford Canada "actually reduced vehicle allocations, provided blacklists of known exporters to its dealers, circulated best practices, imposed chargebacks, and initiated dealer termination proceedings" in response to the importation issue.
Other carmakers had instituted similar measures during the early 2000s to contend with the price differential between similar cars sold in the United States and Canada, Reardon noted.
However, the judge upheld the dismissal of charges involving Ford U.S., finding that consumers had not mounted a strong enough case.
"[T]here is simply no evidence, or even inference, from which a reasonable jury could concluded that Ford U.S. agreed with any other alleged co-conspirator to do something together about the export problem or that it even understood the goals of the alleged conspiracy and actively participated in it," Reardon wrote in the 63-page ruling.
In the underlying 2003 complaint, car purchasers accused Ford and other major automakers of conspiring to prohibit the importation of cheaper, nearly identical cars from Canada into the United States, which allegedly resulted in higher car prices in California.
Apparently, the issue was particularly thorny for Ford when it came to their line of Thunderbirds, which were considered "high-profile, high-margin" cars.
Dozens of those lawsuits were consolidated into a single $1 billion class-action antitrust case, which accused the carmakers of charging California car dealers as much as 30 percent more than they charged Canadian dealers for the same make and model vehicles.
In some cases, the manufacturers allegedly included clauses prohibiting Canadian dealers from exporting their cheaper vehicles.
In the early part of the trial, allegations against overseas carmakers like Honda and Volkswagen were dismissed due to court jurisdiction. General Motors and DaimlerChrysler later evaded the lawsuit because of bankruptcy filings in 2009, though GM's Canadian counterpart settled in 2011.
Ford remained one of the last defendants in the case, and had argued that its U.S. company had not "conspired with anyone in Canada to do anything," court records show.
The trial court agreed, finding in early 2012 that neither Ford U.S. nor Ford Canada had engaged in a price-fixing conspiracy.
The trial court rejected much of the consumers' evidence of a conspiracy, including a deposition from Toyota Canada general counsel Pierre Millette.
Reardon disagreed with that decision Tuesday, finding that Millette's statements—in which he recalled a 2001 meeting during which other automaker executives supported the concept of prohibiting Canadian imports—were merely impressions from a meeting.
"This is not hearsay, and the trial court erred in concluding that it was," Reardon wrote, noting also that Millette's testimony might have "tipped the balance in the plaintiffs' favor."
Reardon similarly wrote that a meeting with other automakers could have been evidence of a conspiracy.
"Agreeing to meet extensively on the sole topic of how best to restrict exports as an industry certainly raises a plausible inference that the alleged co-conspirators had all previously agreed to hold the line together on export sales, were thus willing to explore together in detail the most effective means of implementing that anti-competitive pact," the judge wrote.
In upholding the trial court's summary judgment in favor of Ford U.S., however, Reardon wrote that the consumers' evidence of emails from Ford U.S. executive Bill Glick regarding "industry-wide solutions" to the export issue did not constitute viable evidence of anything more than initial contact with competitors, and not of a consummated conspiracy.
Reardon was joined in the opinion by Judges Ignazio Ruvolo and Maria Rivera.
"We are very pleased with the decision and look forward to vigorously litigating the case and preparing for trial against Ford Canada," said plaintiffs' attorney Craig Corbett of Zelle LLP.
Lead counsel for Ford did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

The Boss
Thank the Terrain for the Land's Top Wooden Coaster.
There is a reason The Boss is one of the top coasters at Six Flags St. Louis. After the first 150-foot double-down drop, you'll tunnel right through the middle of the incredible structure and then blaze a super-fast 65 miles per hour up the next lift. Right about now you're starting to realize this isn't your standard wooden coaster; this is a modern adrenaline machine of the highest order.
One of the things that makes it so innovative is right under your feet: the ground. This coaster is known as a "terrain twister" because it incorporates the natural topography of the land it's built on into the architecture of the ride. You'll rise and fall with the earth itself, giving the whole experience an utterly organic feel. More than ever, you'll feel like a bird coursing over the peaks and valleys of the planet—except this bird is taking on a series of drops ranging from a whopping 72 feet at the lowest, all the way up to 150 feet. On this magnificent master of all things wooden, all the drops are big! So hold on tight because you'll also feel the terrain on the ground-hugging, high banked turns.
The classic construction, combined with a modern understanding of aerodynamics, both join in a natural partnership with the land itself, giving you a feeling of total freedom, combined with total power. You just feel unstoppable on this ride—you feel like the boss of all things wild.
An enterprising man once made a fortune exploring – and exploiting – the land surrounding The Boss.
Halfway through the forest, the man's business was abruptly stopped when he encountered a tribe that had never imagined there was an outside world. On this very spot, now the coaster's most terrifying turn, they killed – and ravenously ate – everyone in his group, except the intrepid entrepreneur.
A foul-smelling drink was forced down his throat, while tribal dancers performed their sick rituals all around him. They applied their leeches, called forth the snakes, and caused the bats to attack him. Then his mind was invaded and made diseased by the tribe's dreaded chief.
Finally released but still trembling, the man returned home as fast as he could. While he was at last asleep in his own bed, the tribal spirits gnawed their way through his brain and out through his ears to freedom. To exact their revenge on "civilized" others like him, they settled in a grove of trees not far from here. Ever since the park was built, they've terrorized our guests.
On coasters and spinners alike, their victims ride in innocence, until it's time for dinner. Then, these spirits creep! They invade youthful minds and slowly, yet tastefully, feast until dawn, satisfied that – for yet another night – their primitive mission has been fulfilled.

What Our Guests Say
"The Boss is the boss! Nothing like rocketing down an almost vertical slope, then racing around corners. Truly a great ride."
"Finally, a roller coaster ride with ups, downs, curves, speed, and LONGEVITY."
"All I can say is AWESOME-- I am 45 years old and really enjoyed everthing about the ride! What a rush!"
"FAST, exciting ride... you feel a zero-G in the back car. Excellent wooden coaster!"
"The two teenagers that sat across from me, as well as my adjacent six year old son said it was an awesome experience. We enjoyed the length of The Boss ride-- in addition to the number of dips and turns experienced during our journey"

DIY Thrifted Owl Lamp
Sponsored Link
Sponsored Link
Many everyday objects can be made into art or functional items to use around the home. One option to consider is to make an owl lamp. This is a project that can be done by using a ceramic owl that you are likely to find at any local thrift store. A wooden owl can also be used for this DIY project. You might also look online for a suitable item.
The tools and accessories for this project can be found at a home improvement store. This will include any type of power drill and a white spray paint. The first thing to do once you have all the materials needed to make a DIY owl lamp is to apply paint. If you are not fond of white, than use any other color for the result you want for your owl lamp.
Spray paint should be used outside as you do not need to worry about any overspray. However, you do not need to add any paint at all if you want to skip this part of the project. The next thing to do is make a few holes for the electrical components that are needed. You will also need a lampshade to put on the owl lamp.
One important element of an owl lamp is the base. This can be made using a piece of wood or ceramic bowl. If you use a piece of wood, then it may need to be painted or stained. You can make the base the same color as the owl if you want.
Assembling the pieces of your owl lamp will require using glue or an epoxy. This will be important as you do not want your lamp to fall apart. You have the option to use this lamp in your own home or as a gift to have for a special occasion.
Instructions to make a DIY owl lamp are found on homemadeginger.com here…

full blouse, modest fashion, saree, saree style, sari, sari blouses
Share it
As a Bengali, saree style is pretty much in our blood.
As a Muslim who observes modest style, I won't wear the flesh-baring ready-made blouses and roll my eyes at the ridiculously small scraps of blouse-piece material that come with most RTW/ 'ready to wear' sarees – also a side-rant at saree retailers – if you need to stitch a blouse first, it's not RTW! [/rant]
So what's the modest solution to traditional saree blouses? Xmas party season!
Um… what has Christmas party season got to do with sarees? All of my favourite easy-to-wear saree blouses aren't saree blouses at all. They're glittery, sequined, velvet, metallic, uber-glam OTT Christmas party tops or clubwear bodycon mini-dresses… all bought from the sales at less than the price of tailoring a long sleeve, long body saree blouse.
Where can I buy these awesome spangly, party-saree-blouse alternatives?
I have bought them mostly from high street stores in post-Christmas sales, like Primark, H&M, Lipsy, Quiz, AX Paris, Next, Matalan, and TK Maxx. If you don't have these stores near you or in your town, there are some great online alternatives below. Just click the images for full details.
Okay, great idea. So what do they actually look like when worn with sarees or lenghas?
Here's where all my insecurities come out. I've not lost as much weight as I'd have liked, but at the same time, I'm happy and healthy… so I'm making the decision not to compare myself to slimmer, prettier bloggers… OOTD style images to come in part two very soon… I promise!

Skip to 0 minutes and 4 seconds I am here with Professor Yasunobu Nakamura at the University of Tokyo in his laboratory. Professor Nakamura built the first superconducting qubit and now he runs his research group here at the University of Tokyo. Professor Nakamura, welcome. Hello. I want to ask you what are you doing here? Okay, here, we are running experiments on superconducting qubit, so as you see here in our cryostat, we have superconducting qubit devices at the very bottom. So inside this can, there is a vacuum and at the very end the temperature is very low, like 10 millikelvin and superconducting qubit is there and we have all the control wiring to send and read out the signal.
Skip to 0 minutes and 51 seconds So we send microwave pulses to the device and then read out the signal coming back from the device through the electronics. So here we have all the control electronics to create microwave pulses and then read out microwave signals, so by doing that, we can control the superposition and entanglement of the superconducting qubit. I see, thank you Professor Nakamura. I want to ask to you how data is represented in superconducting system and what kind of state variable can we use in superconducting system?
Skip to 1 minute and 25 seconds As you know, when electrical circuit becomes superconducting, there is no resistance in the circuit, that is very important for maintaining quantum information in our circuits and if we properly design the circuit with a small Josephson junction, then we can create quantum bits in our system. There, we use either charge or flux degrees of freedom in our circuit. Charge means Cooper pair in superconducting system where two electrons are combined and flux is a quantum of magnetic field, which is confined in superconducting circuit. Okay, what is Josephson junction?
Skip to 2 minutes and 10 seconds Josephson junction is a small tunnel junction, which means there is a thin insulating barrier between two superconducting electrodes and there Cooper pairs – a pair of superconducting electrons can tunnel free across the junction and the junction works as a non-linear inductive element which is very important for making Josephson superconducting qubit. Okay, which type of state variable is more popular today? Actually, neither of them.
Skip to 2 minutes and 45 seconds So both kind of qubits using charge degrees of freedom or flux degrees of freedom do work properly, but each of them can cover charge noise or flux noise rather strongly, so actually the most popular design these days is kind of in the middle where we use quantum states which is rather insensitive to those noise in the environment. I see. Thank you professor Nakamura.
Charge and magnetic flux
In a superconductor, there is no electrical resistance. If you start an electrical current flowing, it will run forever. It can also maintain the state of individual quanta. In this visit with Professor Yasunobu Nakamura of the University of Tokyo, we learn about three ways of using this special capability to make the quantum states we use for qubits.
The first state variable was charge. In a superconductor, electrons form Cooper pairs, in which two electrons, which normally repel each other, become loosely bound to each other, and behave together. A charge qubit uses the presence of a Cooper pair in a small, isolated island as the \(|1\rangle\) state, and the absence of the pair as the \(|0\rangle\) state.
The second choice of state variable is magnetic flux. Electrical current flowing in a loop creates a magnetic field, the basis for all electromagnets. If we have a microscopic loop of superconductor, the current can flow either clockwise or counterclockwise around the loop, so we can use clockwise as our \(|0\rangle\) state and counterclockwise as our \(|1\rangle\) (or vice versa).
The third type of state variable is an intermediate between the two, known as a transmon.
The key to all three of these state variables is being able to control the presence or absence of Cooper pairs very precisely. A Josephson junction is a tiny gap (perhaps only a few atoms across) in the metal conductor. It might seem that such a gap would prevent current from flowing (unless the voltage is high enough to make spark across the gap, but the voltages and energies here are much, much too small for that). However, because of the way that the quantum probability amplitude waves work, there is a small probability that our Cooper pair will tunnel through this barrier. Used appropriately, at close to absolute zero, this gives us the ability to control very precisely the number of Cooper pairs, giving us the states we can use as our state variable. In an upcoming article, we will learn more about the hardware necessary.

This disturbing 'checklist' was posted on Twitter by a controversial US 'pick-up artist' Julien Blanc who a minister wants banned from entering the UK.
The diagram (below), which features suggestions such as 'use intimidation,' and 'use emotional abuse' was originally designed by a domestic abuse charity.
It was meant to help women identify when they are being abused.
But Blanc posted the chart saying it was a 'checklist' for 'how to make her stay.'
The post, which has now been hidden, comes as Home Office minister Lynne Featherstone asked Home Secretary Theresa May to ban US-based Blanc from entering the UK.
Featherstone said she had no doubts that if Blanc was allowed to perform in the UK, there would be an increase in "cases of sexual harassment and intimidation".
The controversial American holds seminars across the world, claiming to teach men how to attract women, but critics have condemned his behaviour.
Liberal Democrat minister Ms Featherstone publicly raised her concerns and urged the Home Secretary to deny Mr Blanc a visa.
She highlighted posts on social media by Mr Blanc showing him with his hands around women's throats with the hashtag #ChokingGirlsAroundTheWorld.
Crime Prevention Minister Ms Featherstone told the Guardian: "As the Home Office minister with responsibility for tackling violence against women and girls, I am extremely concerned by the sexist and utterly abhorrent statements Julien Blanc has made about women.
"If he was allowed to perform in the UK I have no doubt that cases of sexual harassment and intimidation would increase.
"Free speech is obviously hugely important, but with free speech comes responsibility. It is not appropriate to talk about choking girls under any circumstances."
Mr Blanc describes himself as an executive coach for Real Social Dynamics (RSD) "the international leader in dating advice".
RSD's website is advertising a "bootcamp" to teach the firm's techniques in London starting on November 27.
A petition onoi calling for Mr Blanc to be denied a visa has been signed by more than 120,000 people and a social media campaign in Australia saw him forced to cut short his visit there earlier this month.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper has also written to Mrs May suggesting she should block Mr Blanc from coming to the UK on the grounds his presence is "not conducive to the public good".
In the letter she said: "Promotional material on websites reportedly linked to Mr Blanc ... promise to 'teach' men how to overcome 'last-minute resistance' from women to having sex including 'teaching' how to 'bring her back from her logical mind, and into an emotional state'. Videos of Blanc apparently include footage of him grabbing women around the throat, as well as instructing men to use physical force to get women to engage with them."
Ms Cooper went on: "Why should we let someone into this country to incite sexual assaults or violence against women? Australia has already sent this man home. Canada want to keep him out. There is plenty of evidence of Mr Blanc's vile views and misogynist business, and no interest for Britain in him being able to promote them here in our communities.
"The Home Office need to investigate him urgently. Theresa May should be able to exercise sensible border control and stop him holding these seminars in our country."
A Home Office spokesman said: "The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good.
"It is long-standing practice that we do not comment on individual exclusion cases unless they are made public by the excluded individual.
"This Home Secretary has excluded more foreign nationals on the grounds of unacceptable behaviour than any before her."


text: I'm going to don my asbestos suit for a minute and suggest that what we could really use is a *BSD security list, akin to the Linux vendor-sec list. I think it makes sense to have a place where we can discuss security issues common to all the BSDs and not worry about what is or is not of specific interest to ChooseYouOwnBSD. This could take one of two forms: a) A list open only to the various security officers that gets advance warning of problems, CERT advisories, etc.. This allows for coordinating fixes but requires that list members not forward things off-list. In the past, such lists have been leaky. b) An open list. No advanced warning of problems would be posted. The list could still be used for coordination but I don't find this terribly compelling. Opinions? - todd

f IMPACT OF PERMETHRIN-TREATED BED NETS ON ENTOMOLOGIC INDICES IN AN AREA OF INTENSE YEAR-ROUND MALARIA TRANSMISSION
The effect of permethrin-treated bed nets (ITNs) on malaria vectors was studied as part of a large-scale, randomized, controlled trial in western Kenya. Indoor resting densities of fed Anopheles gambiae s.l. and An. funestus in intervention houses were 58.5% (P = 0.010) and 94.5% (P = 0.001) lower, respectively, compared with control houses. The sporozoite infection rate in An. gambiae s.l. was 0.8% in intervention areas compared with 3.4% (P = 0.026) in control areas, while the sporozoite infection rates in An. funestus were not significantly different between the two areas. We estimated the overall transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in intervention areas to be 90% lower than in control areas. Permethrin resistance was not detected during the study period. As measured by densities of An. gambiae s.l., the efficacy of bed nets decreased if one or more residents did not sleep under a net or if bed nets had not been re-treated within six months. These results indicate that ITNs are optimally effective if used every night and if permethrin is reapplied at least biannually.

Established in 1944, Bedford College is a leading training organisation with a reputation for excellence in vocational education. Our industry links and formal university pathways provide graduates with 'the edge' in employment and further education success.
Welcome to Bedford College
Bedford College is a well-established (since 1944) not for profit, training organisation, registered by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) to deliver nationally recognised training courses in New South Wales. The College has a long-standing reputation for excellence in training in a small, caring, Christian environment. Our training strategies and our exceptional teaching staff provide students with the maximum opportunity to achieve their own personal best results.
Over the years dozens of colleges have come and gone – and the decision on which training provider to choose has become increasingly difficult for prospective students. This is largely due to the influx of new colleges in recent years but also to concerns about the quality of training provided and the unethical practices of some training providers.
In all this time, Bedford College has maintained its reputation as a provider of high-quality training and honest and ethical practices. The College has a student-centred approach to training and sets the benchmark by which other training providers are measured.
Bedford College has a Christian ethos – however our students come from a wide variety of races, religions, cultures and beliefs. An open access and equity policy governs our enrolment practices and the College is committed to inclusiveness and mutual respect for all individuals.
Whilst the College is now more than 70 years old, we strive to remain at the forefront of training provision and current industry needs. Our industry partners drive our training practices and we endeavour to ensure that our graduates acquire the skills, knowledge and attributes that employers are seeking. You could say that we're old – but definitely not old fashioned – quite the reverse. Our state-of-the-art facilities are testament to our commitment to substantially invest in College facilities and resources – and of course in our students.
Of course the best training in the world is useless if it doesn't lead to a successful career. The employment success of Bedford graduates is unsurpassed, with the vast majority going straight into full-time work on completion of their course. And the ability to provide students with automatic (guaranteed) entry (with credit) into university (with no ATAR) means that Bedford Graduates have a distinct advantage over graduates of other colleges.

Flats – North Oxford
This site comprises one block of nine, two-bedroom flats over three floors. It is located in north Oxford and was completed in 2008.
The developer was keen to use electric, ceiling mounted heating. Initial SAP calculations showed that it would be difficult to comply with Part L1A of the Building Regulations using this system, in conjunction with the rest of the design specification, due to the high associated carbon emissions from using electricity as a heat source. Nevertheless, this type of heating system was installed.
There was no follow up from the developer after the initial work and the developer was surprised when final SAP calculations were produced to be told that the dwellings did not comply.
As the building was now complete, there were limited options available to bring the building into compliance and the final solution was to install a 4.5kWp PV system to offset the carbon emissions associated with the properties down to a level that secured compliance.
This scenario is sadly not uncommon and adds additional, unbudgeted costs to projects that could have been avoided if SAP calculations were undertaken at the start of the design stage and cheaper build and specification options considered and then adhered to.
Since the upgrades to Part L1A of the Building Regulations in 2010, it has become be even more imperative to undertake SAP calculations at an early stage as an assistance to the overall design process – as a legal requirement – and we are well prepared and experienced in this approach.

As part of the Econsultancy / Foviance Multichannel Customer Experience Report, some 1,000 consumers were surveyed about their experiences when dealing with the banking industry.
Overall, it appears that when engaging with banking services, consumers have a far better experience using personal computers than any other touchpoint.
Using Toluna Quick, we found that 73% of respondents currently feel their overall experience when dealing with a bank is either "excellent" or "good", but 83% cited these same experience ratings when it came to using a personal computer.
Image: How would you rate your most recent experience when using a desktop computer?
Tablets were also hard on the heels of this, with 71% of consumers rating their banking experience as "excellent" or "good" when using this particular type of technology.
In comparison, just under three-quarters of respondents (74%) said that they had a "excellent" or "good" experience in-branch and 63%, when it came to using the telephone.
Additionally, according to consumers, the most important attributes for a positive customer experience within banking is "efficient customer service". Second was a "user-friendly and secure website", followed by the competitive pricing of products.
Image: In order to provide the best experience for you as a customer, what are the most important areas for your bank to focus on?
This echoes the overall findings of the consumer report, which covered multiple sectors, and found that the three most important attributes for a positive experience are 'efficient customer service', 'low-priced products' and 'high quality products'.
Consequently, customer service is definitely an area of focus for financial services, especially given that 69% of consumers would recommend a bank based upon the level of customer service they receive.

Is It For The Beach body Or Is It For Your Health?
These days, many people want to achieve perfect body weight and ideal appearance. I have been a witness that various individuals, regardless of how great they may appear to you, are unsatisfied with their weight! Truth be told, all of us seem to be continually abstaining from food, and going between diets all the time. But that is not the answer! The answer to your problems is a healthy life style and a change inside and out!
Here's how you can achieve a perfect body in no time:
With Regular Exercise!
Consistent activity is invaluable for your body, since it will help various processes to come to regularity. Exercising consistently you will improve your body in a manner that you will not achieve in any other way. Not only that you will shed pounds, but over time you will be more content and feel accomplished.
You will discharge the negativity, and improve your vitality through physical activity. Not to mention that you will lose fat and keep all the lean and toned muscles!
Eat Right
Losing fat is not just about eating less carbs! Workout is irreplaceable, but you also ought to stick to an eating plan! We frequently you will see individuals who lose fat only and solemnly by changing their diets! However, once the eating regimen is over they soon go back and this is called a yo-yo effect. You should not permit this to happen to you.
Stick to an eating regimen and arrange your life so that each day for the rest of your life, you eat healthy. Not only that you will lose fat, but you will become healthier as well.
Count Your Calories
You mustn't disregard your calorie intake! If you eat too many calories, you will gain weight no matter what you eat! Abstaining from food, is not a recommended technique, since it makes you urge certain types of food and crave food. Instead, you should monitor your calorie consumption, reduce the intake of processed foods and fatty foods and make a genuine attempt to eat healthy. Also, here's the least complex technique ever, and the most successful one to lose fat – quit eating once you are full! This will spare you from the superfluous calorie consumption.
Fat In Your Diet
Certain types of fat are truly bad for you, but this is not the case with all types of fats. There are types of food you should keep away from, such as processed foods and fatty foods, but also you can eat all you want natural eggs and things which are good for you.
Also, our bodies need fat to a certain extent, so you cannot just live off air, neither! In other words, if you want to lose fat, you have to eat healthy and eat what is good for you within reasonable limits when it comes to portions. Everything else will sort itself out with sufficient exercise and proper eating habits and you will have a body you have always dreamed of!

The FCC's Embedded Journalist Is Really a Spokesman
On Monday night the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) senior advisor to the chairman Steve Waldman tried out the agency's "Reboot" message on a tough crowd: regulation averse digerati from Silicon Alley. The small group of entrepreneurs and very vocal journalist/bloggers including CUNY prof and BuzzMachine blogger Jeff Jarvis and Wired's Spencer Reiss got together at the offices of PR firm Morris + King to hash out what Waldman is supposed to be doing.
Waldman, founder of BeliefNet (a longtime M+K client) and former Newsweek journalist, was tapped by his old friend, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to deliver a non-binding "Future of the Media" report by the end of this year. Genachowski brought in Waldman last Fall to sift through everything related to the state of news media today–existing research from places like Pew and Poynter Institutes, policies and pending initiatives such as the stance on Net Neutrality and the possible relaxation of cross-ownership rules between media companies.
"It's an exercise in restraint. I can't always mouth off with my point of view," said Waldman. His job isn't to figure out how to save the mainstream media from itself or fix business models, but to understand the various forces that pose a threat to the essential role of the news in holding commercial interests accountable.
Upon reading my pile of notes trying to find the one hook that would make my coverage a juicy blog post, it occurred to me that Waldman embodies an emerging trend in PR: he's the embedded journalist attempting to understand the "bureaucratic monolith" (as moderator Anil Dash called the agency), and also the PR man sent out to test and collect potential messaging with various publics.
Waldman began by explaining that when you take apart a daily news paper and sort it between "stuff new media does better" and "stuff old media does better," the former pile is bigger. But why?
This crowd is as concerned as any, though leaned toward leaving the government out of it. One area that came up as a possibility is the expansion of public media: radio, TV, and otherwise. Could Waldman be hinting at a government subsidized, local market version of ProPublica to fill in the gap? He's testing the message.
Points were argued and patches of tall weeds explored among the audience of media savvy chatty Kathys. Other faces in the crowd of about 50 included Brian Stelter, New York Times, Greg Galant, Sawhorse Media, David Berkowitz, 360i, Peter Ha, Time.com's Techland, and dot-com era legend and progenitor of oversharing Josh Harris (Pseudo.com and subject of "We Live in Public")
Moderator Anil Dash got in several plugs for Expert Labs, his new project that is helping the Government facilitate two-way communication and crowdsourcing with the public. He was previously at blog software company Six Apart, seemingly for ages. Dash noted how amazing it is the FCC is so willing to listen to the public, and we'd have to agree.

Were they just that bad, or there some sort of vetting process they need to go through?
Yes ......just kidding. Patience man. The entries have to be looked at by the Admins first to make sure they fill the requirements and are within the rules. If they just showed up without consideration, and members saw illeagel entries, there would be chaos. They also have in the past given the members ample time to fix their entries. This may or may not be the case this time, but in any event. Have faith. I entered my 5 so far all in one night and also wondered why only one had been listed as Submitted. Relax, this is the Colossal Castle Contest. The voting will take some time to process as well.

All of our investment advisory accounts are worked on together, by the Mullooly Asset Management Advisory Team, and overseen by Thomas P. Mullooly, our President and founder. The team (Brendan, Tim, Casey and Tom Mullooly) meets each morning to discuss pertinent market and economic data, review our investment research, and analyze our investment positions. This ensures each client investment position is researched and continues to be actively monitored over time.
Long term growth is the focal point of our investment management process.
The biggest risk investors face is the potential that their investments will not be enough to help them achieve their future goals. Long term investment results are the main results that matter, but the short term is where our patience gets tested the most. In fact, Warren Buffett has said that, "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient". The Mullooly Asset Management Advisory Team strives to help clients be the patient investors Buffett describes.
We have designed our investment management process to help clients mentally survive patience-testing, short term volatility. By mentally surviving the short term, clients remain positioned to benefit from sensible, long term investment plans.
We achieve this through our systematic risk management methodology. This focuses a piece of each client portfolio on managing market volatility. We've found this approach helps our clients remain calm, while other investors might become emotional. Emotions and investing do not mix well. While we cannot entirely eliminate our emotions, the more we control them the better investment results will be.
Through personal meetings and discussions, the Mullooly Asset Management Advisory Team discovers client goals, determines their tolerance for volatility, and matches them with an appropriate mix of investments. Our years of experience have helped us craft practical solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.
Our process does not aim to find the "perfect portfolio". In fact, we believe the "perfect portfolio" does not exist. Instead, our investment management process focuses on finding a portfolio that clients can stick with through all market cycles. The portfolio a client sticks with is infinitely better than one they abandon.
We believe so strongly in our investment management process that members of the Mullooly Asset Management Advisory Team own the same investments as many of our clients. We eat our own cooking. Unfortunately, many in our industry cannot say the same.
The Mullooly Asset Management Advisory Team acts as fiduciaries to our clients and places an emphasis on keeping their costs low. We achieve this through use of discount brokerage firms, low cost investments, and tax-efficient investment methods.
Most of all, as fiduciaries, we place our clients' interests ahead of our own at all times. We wouldn't dream of doing business any other way.
All of these factors amount to a world-class investment management process that has served Mullooly Asset Management's clients since 2002.

The Cine Mini EVF Recoil rig is compatible with cameras with a built in, sturdy top handle with screw holes along the top. These camera include the Panasonic DVX200, Blackmagic Ursa Mini, Sony FS700, Sony PXW-X200, AJA Cion and more. The universal fit and adjustability of our VCT Pro baseplate and other accessories means this one rig easily fits all of these cameras.
A solid top handle is an essential part of any functioning shoulder mounted rig. For cameras without a top handle or cameras with sub-par handles, we add our Recoil Handle. This sturdy, adjustable grip is rock solid, and with multiple mounting options is practically universal. But, many camera companies still get the top handle right and create robust top handles, often with incorporated features and functions. The Cine Mini EVF Recoil is perfect for those cameras. Attach our 3" Z-Rail and Z-Rail Rod Lock 90 adapter to the camera top handle and you'll be ready to fully 'Recoil' your camera!
Next Generation Recoil Rigs are designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point approximately is where the lens meets the camera body. In a Recoil rig, the balance point needs to be directly over your shoulder which puts the camera behind you. This requires focus, monitoring and camera controls to be relocated forward, creating a lighter and shorter rig. Next Generation Recoil rigs are compatible with all cameras from a mirrorless to a camera the size of an ALEXA.
This rig category covers many differently sized and shaped cameras, and our VCT Pro baseplate is compatible with them all. Smaller camcorders in particular can benefit from the balance and adjustability of our baseplate, especially when using longer, heavy lenses. Cameras with built in shoulder pads, like the AJA Cion, require you to essentially balance the entire camera weight in your hands. This seriously limits the length of time you can work shoulder-mounted. Correctly balance these cameras by adding the VCT Universal. You'll immediately notice how much lighter your rig feels.
The Cine Mini EVF Recoil includes the VCT Pro Baseplate. Inspired by traditional ENG cameras, it truly is the last baseplate you'll ever need. A Zgrip Zwivel fully articulating handgrip rounds out the front of the rig. There's plenty of space to add a Z-Drive follow focus and Tornado grip (not included.)
To convert your camera handle to attach an Axis Mini and Gratical EVF, this rig includes a 3" Z-Rail with two adjustable 1/4 20″ screws and a Z-Rail Rod Lock 90 adapter.
Thank you for your interest in Zacuto's Next Generation Recoil Rig for the the Panasonic DVX200, Blackmagic Ursa Mini, Sony FS700, Sony PXW-X200, AJA Cion. Have questions about any of this rig or any components? Please contact our sales and customer service team at (312) 863 3452 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Live chat is also available during Chicago business hours.

Feeding America for "Free"
40 million on food stamps, 50 million on Medicaid.
At investment conferences, I often ask the audience, which consists mainly of mature investors: "How many of them are on Social Security and Medicare?" Most raise their hands.
Then I ask, "How many of you are on food stamps?" All the hands go down.
Why? Because there's a means test to qualify for food stamps. To qualify, a family of four must make less than $28,668 a year. Investors who attend investment conferences tend to be wealthy and make a lot more than $28,668 a year.
Yet, despite this severe income limitation, the number of Americans on food stamps is rising dramatically, and is now approaching 40 million, almost double what it was six years ago.
Today one out of every eight Americans is getting assistance, due in large part to the Great Recession.
The program is pretty generous: A family of four can get up to $668 a month of free food using a food stamp card. The cost: $59 billion this year alone.
What's worse, the USDA encourages people to sign up. The USDA has gone out of its way to make it easy to remove the stigma of this welfare program. No longer do poor people use stamps. Instead they get a special debit card.
"Getting Free Food is a SNAP!"
The Obama Administration has also changed the name of the program. Instead of the Food Stamp Program, it's now called the politically correct "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program," or SNAP for short, as in "Getting Free Food is a SNAP!" LBJ, who created the food stamp program in 1965, would be pleased.
USDA also encourages Americans to sign up for food stamps (er, sorry, I mean SNAP) or inform the government of people who they think should be on food stamps. USDA just awarded grants of up to $5 million to increase participation in SNAP.
"The health of our nation—of our economy, our national security, and our communities—depends on the health of our families," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "These grants will allow us to improve access and increase participation in our SNAP that serves as a vital resource to the most vulnerable Americans. Breaking down barriers to participation will help this Administration deliver on its goal of reducing hunger and improving nutrition across the country."
Food stamps isn't the only federal welfare program expanding like wildfire. Medicaid, which provides healthcare to low-income Americans, is skyrocketing and costs four times more than food stamps. Today over 50 million low-income children, pregnant women, elderly persons, and disabled individuals receive over $250 billion in assistance.
Unlike food stamps, the costs of Medicare are shared 50-50 by the state governments, and now takes up to 22% of each state's budget. For many states, Medicaid a nightmare, fraught with fraud and cost overruns.
The Welfare Reform Act of 1996 did wonders to reduce the cost overruns, frauds and excesses of LBJ's Great Society programs of 1965. But now the Welfare State is ballooning again, and one wonders whether a poor person is better off working at the new generous minimum wage of $7.25 per hour (plus benefits), or getting on welfare and enjoying the fat benefits of free food and healthcare at the taxpayer's expense.
I wonder how long it will be before investors at financial conferences start raising their hands when I ask, "How many of you are on food stamps?"

Op-Ed: Here's a thought - I don't care about Tom Cruise, nor should you
Marcus Hondro
Jul 12, 2012 in
Do we have another Charlie Sheen-like period on our hands? Where we get the endless headlines and TV features on one celebrity? Sheen stopped winning so there's hope Tom Cruise news will go away, too, and the sooner it does - the better.
Thing is I don't get why anybody who is not related to him or a close friend, would care. He's an actor, he's okay, though his best performances were in two films he didn't have the lead in,
Tropic Thunder
(okay, he was good in
Minority Report
). He is never listed high in 'best actor' compilations and in the big films of his career, the Mission Impossibles, he comes across as stiff as Mitt Romney.
Tom, Katie, Suri and Church of Scientology
He seems an awkward person on TV shows, willing himself to be personable by doing stuff like jumping on a couch to show how in love he was with Katie Holmes (yeah, the media is now remarking endlessly that he has now jumped off) but like his turns at acting, he rarely seems natural. But even if you like his films and enjoyed the jumping on the couch thing, why the
-interest in his life? What is there about the guy?
Why would I want to hear more about Tom Cruise and his divorce than, say, the marital problems of some guy named Richard Welsh from Buffalo or a Jamal Williams from Corpus Christi. The answer actually is I don't, and neither should you, to be perfectly frank. It seems unhealthy that we would care so much about this guy who's not a great actor and who has, it seems, a few dubious qualities.
Tom Cruise, celebrity obsessions and you
There is a practical side to this anti-Cruise diatribe. Psychologists suggest we mask depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues behind our preoccupation with celebrities. Pay attention to their lives rather than work on ours. That is largely why you can Google 'Tom Cruise' and find links to over 3,000 stories on him and the dominating way he treated his family, allegedly; we'd rather focus on that, than on us. Focus on Tom's relatively small world than the big one outside our doors, which Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, an associate professor at Columbia University and a
TV commentator
, says can lead to harming not just ourselves.
"At the moment where we're more concerned with (the life of a celebrity) than ramping up troops in Afghanistan, we are actually buying into a false reality that actually has a material impact on people around the globe," Dr. Hill is quoted by Charlene Muhammad in 2009. "More people watch American Idol than the evening news. More people read gossip blogs than scripture, so when you live in a moment where those are the realities, you're really seeing something that's very, very dangerous."
Dangerous or no, it seems logical we'd improve our mental health by keeping our man Tom and the Church of Scientology, Katie Holmes and Suri away from our conscience, just silently wish them well - let us not be spiteful about this - and be done with them. The stories will soon after diminish and, like Charlie Sheen or Michael Vick or Lindsay Lohan or Mel Gibson, or a host of others, he will fade into the deep background of our lives.
Then we can get back to Googling 'news' and not have to worry about 'Tom Cruise this' and 'Tom Cruise that', and we can stick to learning about, and helping, our friends and learning about and improving upon our lives. So, well, good luck, Tom.
And good-bye.

Expanding rights in the current Argentinian migration law. An evaluation from Sen´s ideas.
Vanina Modolo, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET)
Migration is broadly associated with vulnerability. This link applies mainly to migrants with irregular status. That is because, while legal migrants have usually equal rights as nationals have (excepting some political rights), in many countries those with irregular status are denied basic ones. This was the case of Argentina till 2003, when a new Migration Law passed by the Parliament, bringing a major change in the matter. This study evaluates this law as a positive step, following Sen´s ideas. This author argues that the expansion of real freedoms is a mean and end of development, a main factor to mitigate vulnerability, and any policy evaluation should follow this criteria.The case of Argentina is important since it receives many flows from the region, hosting thousands of immigrants within its borders.

|Piece from 2010 show
|Lace Face
A silent auction benefiting Smile Train will include unique functional glass art pieces from some of the world's best borosilicate glass artists. Smile Train is a life-changing non-profit that provides free cleft-lip and palate surgery to in-need children worldwide.
The borosilicate community has longstanding ties to Smile Train, which began when the artist known as Fugly suggested proceeds from the Chicago Project (a live charity glassblowing event) go to Smile Train. Seth True, a borosilicate artist, explains "It's hard to imagine changing the world, but it's easy to raise $250 and change a kid's life forever."
The event owes a special thanks to Seth True from TRUE glass for arranging the schedule of the torch show as well as the pre- and post- event glassblowing seminars.
