Teachers and instructional workers need to abandon their hopes of a step increase in these tough times.
At a time when people are losing their homes, losing their jobs, having to take on the extra expense of taking in relatives who lost jobs and homes, and not getting raises themselves, and with companies passing on their expenses to all of us, it would be unconscionable to get a raise of any kind.
These teachers should be counting their blessings that they at least have a job.
Even our elderly won't get a Social Security raise for two years.
They all do a wonderful job in teaching our children, but must accept the fact that we can't afford it.

Re: Quest program
Praise for Quest Academy
I am writing in regard to recent news about the school system's Quest Academy, which serves the county's gifted students. As you might know, the program is being relocated to Challenger from Explorer K-8 for the coming school year.
What hasn't been written in the newspaper or discussed much in public is the talent pool and positive things happening in Quest's classrooms or the progressive strides made in terms of curriculum and programming.
As a fifth-grade teacher for Quest, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the finest, most ambitious teachers at both the elementary and middle school level. These teachers are driven and full of creativity, which has helped push me past my comfort zone this past school year. Just the small amount of work they have put into field trip planning is mind-boggling. Also, the assistant principal over the program, Diane Azzerelli, has demonstrated endless energy and support for the program and its teachers.
In summary, I would like to assure parents of gifted children and those at Challenger that Quest boasts extremely qualified and motivated teachers and staff who deserve credit for remaining true to the program and their profession, despite the many changes that have occurred.

Amazon has pulled a sheep sex doll from its website after a mum accidentally bought it for her son's nativity play.
Helen Cox, 46, was mortified when she realised the real purpose of the animal prop after her son Alfie, five, returned home with the toy when teachers declined to use it.
The mum-of-two had purchased the doll alongside a £16.99 fancy dress pack that came with a shepherd's outfit for Alfie.
It was described as a 'Labreeze kids boys brown shepherd costume inflatable sheep nativity fancy dress outfit'.
The animal doll turned out to be a 'stag night bonkin' sheep', according to Mrs Cox, from Alloa, Scotland.
Amazon confirmed it had stop selling the product, adding in a statement: 'All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don't will be subject to action including potential removal of their account.
'The product in question is no longer available.'

But that is unlikely to solve Mrs Cox's current dilemma as Alfie has since grown attached to the sex doll.
Psychology student Ms Cox added: 'He's probably in his room right now stuffing Lego in the hole.
'I just can't believe it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry! How am I going to explain this to his teachers?
'I have no idea if they've seen it was a sex toy and that's why they sent it home – I'm mortified!'
MORE: Mum and ex jailed for 10 years after three-week-old son died from head injury
Mrs Cox has devised a plan to get the sheep that involves telling Alfie the 'Elf of the Shelf' took it.
She has already had to lie to him the hole in the sheep's behind is for 'toilet paper'.

Did you see other sites link to external posts from their post title? Well that is because it is completely useless to create a new post where inside you are going to tell users to go to another site to read it. You are wasting your user's time. This trick will allow you to link to external links from your post title in WordPress.
First open your functions.php file and add the following codes in there:
function print_post_title() { global $post; $thePostID = $post->ID; $post_id = get_post($thePostID); $title = $post_id->post_title; $perm = get_permalink($post_id); $post_keys = array(); $post_val = array(); $post_keys = get_post_custom_keys($thePostID); if (!empty($post_keys)) { foreach ($post_keys as $pkey) { if ($pkey=='url1' || $pkey=='title_url' || $pkey=='url_title') { $post_val = get_post_custom_values($pkey); } } if (empty($post_val)) { $link = $perm; } else { $link = $post_val[0]; } } else { $link = $perm; } echo '
'.$title.'
'; }
These codes must be placed in php tags.
Then open your index.php and find the following code:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?>

And replace it with:
<?php print_post_title(); ?>
This can also be accomplished by a use of a plugin called Page Links To.

Consulting with staff
Employee communications and consultation are essentially about involving and developing people in an organisation. Employees will be able to perform at their best if they know their duties, obligations and rights and have an opportunity to make their views known to management on issues that affect them.
Good communications and consultation are central to the management process when dealing with changes in working practices and procedures. Communication is concerned with the exchange of information and ideas within an organisation. Consultation involves managers actively seeking and taking account of the views of employees before making a decision.
A communication and consultation policy is a particularly effective way of setting out the attitude of the organisation and defining the responsibilities of those involved. The main links in any communication and consultation system are the line managers and supervisors. They are responsible for passing on information in both directions.
Download the Advisory booklet - Employee communications and consultation [394kb].
Questions and answers
What should be communicated?
Managers need to communicate information to employees about:
- contractual terms and conditions of employment
- the job and its performance
- the organisation's performance progress and prospects
- changes to any of the above issues
What methods of communication should be used?
A variety of communications methods will be needed, both spoken and written. The methods will depend mainly on the size and structure of the organisation. Methods include:
- face to face meetings
- company handbooks
- video conferencing
- intranet
Employees will also have concerns and points they wish to raise about their jobs and the organisation and there should be provision for communicating this information up the line.
Do employees views have to be acted upon following consultation?
No, employees' views don't always have to be acted on since there may be good practical or financial reasons for not doing so. However, when views are rejected the reasons for doing so should be carefully explained. Giving employees a voice in the decisions you make is a key driver of employee engagement and can help make your business more effective and productive.
What are the legal aspects of consultation?
There are some times when you must consult your employees, for example when 20 or more employees are to be made redundant a period of consultation must take place. This would also be the case where a transfer of undertakings will occur. Also employers may be covered by the European Union Directive for informing and consulting employees, these regulations apply to business with 50 or more employees. Under these regulation employees have the right to:
- information about the business economic situation
- information and consultation about employment prospects
- information and consultation about decisions likely to lead to substantial changes in work organisation or contractual relations.

Local people are key in helping aid workers access remote, war-torn or unmapped crisis zones
Alex Carle is director of programmes and partnerships for the British Red Cross.
The World Disasters Report released today by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) shows that millions of people who need humanitarian assistance are being 'left behind'.
Earlier this year, the UN estimated that 134 million people would need humanitarian assistance - however only 97.4 million people are being reached this year. Some of the remaining 36.6 million will be supported by national governments or by local aid organisations, but this still means millions of people are left behind.
These 'missing millions' are those in greatest need - living in rural areas, unreachable conflict zones, the elderly, the disabled, the marginalised. Their invisibility to the international community can be partially explained by growing financial gaps in aid funding, but this is not just about money.
In many crises, aid workers physically cannot reach everyone in need. This could be for geographical reasons or because of conflict and insecurity. In other cases, aid groups can't reach people because they don't know they exist. Poor or non-existent mapping, particularly in remote areas or fast-growing urban slums, can render entire communities invisible.
So how can the humanitarian community tackle this? Local people are absolutely key in helping us get to hard-to-reach areas. In the protracted, brutal conflict in Yemen, around 12,000 Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS) volunteers are often the first to respond following an attack or natural disaster, even in the most remote areas.
The 2016 Grand Bargain shared commitments have provided a unique opportunity to catalyse the increased involvement of local and national actors to ensure humanitarian preparedness and response is "as local as possible, as international as necessary".
But in times of emergencies, even local actors might have difficulty reaching people in remote areas or conflict zones. This is why we must think innovatively as a humanitarian community, to adapt and change our methods of delivering aid.
Giving people cash in an emergency has the potential to completely transform the way we work. After a natural disaster, like an earthquake or hurricane, it might be days before roads are made passable, or planes can safely land.
Getting cash to people does not require the logistical pipelines these emergency operations often need. Cash can help us reach people more quickly, efficiently and crucially those who might be hidden in the days and even months after a disaster strikes.
In Nepal, cash has been a critical part of the Red Cross Movement's overall emergency and recovery earthquake response. Just a couple of months after the 2015 earthquake that killed 9,000 people and left more than four million people homeless, more than 41,000 families had received unconditional cash grants to buy desperately needed shelter materials.
As the provision of unconditional cash in emergencies becomes increasingly common, the Nepal experience has shown that when local markets are still functioning, cash can provide a fast and effective way to get aid directly to people in need at times when disruption and damage to key infrastructure make distribution of supplies costly and difficult, particularly in remote, mountainous areas.
But how do we know those people are there? The British Red Cross is part of Missing Maps, a volunteer-led project you can do from your mobile phone. Volunteers trace roads, plot buildings and identify natural landmarks from satellite images, creating maps that have never existed before. These maps save lives.
Following Hurricane Matthew in 2016, volunteers mapped parts of Haiti that were previously unplotted in a matter of hours. These maps were used by aid workers to reach people that may otherwise not have been found for days, or even weeks.
Local communities are more important than ever in helping us reach these 'invisible people' - and already have the networks in place to transform how aid is delivered. Unless we utilise these new approaches to aid, people in crisis will continue to fly under our radar, with devastating consequences for those in greatest need.

Holloway Prison: Housing campaigners accuse Ministry of Justice of 'misleading' people over use of visitor centre
PUBLISHED: 07:32 13 April 2018 | UPDATED: 07:46 13 April 2018
PA Archive/PA Images
Housing campaigners have accused the Ministry of Justice of "misleading" people about the use of Holloway Prison's visitor centre.
Since the Parkhurst Road women's jail shut in summer 2016, campaigners have called for the visitor centre to be used as a homeless shelter.
At a meeting about the future of the prison site last month, Islington North MP and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said the Ministry (MoJ) had told him the centre was being used for training prison officers.
A Freedom of Information request by campaign group Reclaim Holloway asked for details about this. In its answer, the MoJ said the centre had seen 417 trainees through its doors since October last year.
A subsequent request, however, revealed training only takes place in the upstairs assessment centre. This is separate to the empty visitor centre and has a different entrance.
The visitor centre, the MoJ confirmed, is used by security guards as a base to patrol the prison and watch CCTV. They occupy it 24 hours a day. This is in line with prison policy.
But Maureen Mansfield, from Reclaim Holloway, told the Gazette: "We are not surprised by the answers but feel the MoJ has been deliberately misleading people.
"As a community campaign we find it very strange the MoJ is spending money securing an empty building when people are sleeping in the streets. Lying empty is a travesty. There's so much it could be used for.
"It also connects to the empty flats at Pentonville Prison. You have to wonder what's going on." As previously reported in the Gazette, about 100 MoJ-owned flats at the back of Pentonville are said to have been empty for 25 years.
Cllr Diarmaid Ward, Islington Council's housing leader, added of the Holloway row: "It is utterly unacceptable that the visitor's centre is being so criminally underused. It could be helping provide shelter right now for those people who find themselves sleeping rough.
"The MoJ is letting down local people by trying to hide that the visitor centre is empty. They must now urgently discuss with local organisations how the centre can be used as a shelter."
The Gazette was unable to reach the MoJ's prison service press office yesterday.

A Certificate of Acceptance provides a "limited" assurance and has some similarities to a Code Compliance Certificate, in that it will provide some verification for a building owner/future owner that part or all specified building work complies with the building code.
Certificates of Acceptance (Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment website).
The assurance is "limited" because Council has relied on evidence provided by third parties to demonstrate compliance with the building code and by what it has been able to inspect of the building work.
A Certificate of Acceptance may be required for all or part of a building/structure.
A Certificate of Acceptance can be applied for building work done after 1st July 1992 and if the work if:
The responsibilities for the owner are identified under section 42 of the Act. If the reason for building without a consent was due to urgent work, as outlined above, the owner must apply for the Certificate of Acceptance as soon as is practicable.
The Building Act 2004 also describes in sections 96 to 99A the use and requirements of Certificate of Acceptance.
You have a legal obligation to comply with the Building Act and you must not start work before obtaining building consent if one is required.
If you do, you will be committing an offence under the Act and may be liable for fines of up to $200,000, plus $10,000 for each day that offence continues.
Building Act 2004 (Legislation NZ website)
You can download a Certificate of Acceptance application form or collect from our main service centre.
Your application should be accompanied by all/any drawings, photographs, producer statements from builders/installers/engineers who had any part of the building work.
If the building is a commercial or public building, you must include a list of all the building's specified systems along with fire reports and any system commissioning statements to show that the systems have been installed correctly and maintained by Independent Qualified Persons.
If the building does have specified systems you are reminded to check out your owner obligations under the building Act 2004, Building Warrant of Fitness.
Certificate Of Acceptance Application Form [893.6kb]
Certificate of Acceptance Guidance document - Additional information for applications [275kb]
Building Owner Obligations (Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment website)
The information provided in your application will form the basis of the building's Compliance Schedule and should demonstrate how building code compliance provisions have been satisfied (including those parts that have been enclosed and cannot be inspected).
For a swift outcome, we recommend that you engage a building professional with appropriate insurance who specialises in these areas to assist in compiling your application.
This may include a:
They will advise what records are required to assist council with processing.
There are two methodologies to be aware of when fees for these applications are to be considered.
If the application is made because work was undertaken due to urgency and in agreement with the council, as described in section 42 of the Building Act 2004, charges will be based on actual processing and inspections costs.
If work was undertaken other than urgency, then the fees and charges will usually include charges for checking breaches of planning rules, assessment of compliance to the building code including inspections required. Deposit fees are applicable in these situations so please check our Fees and Charges schedule for more details.
In both cases, if the estimated value of the work, as defined in section 7 Building Act 2004 is over $20,000, BRANZ and MBIE levies will also be required.
Building Act 2004 (Legislation New Zealand website)
Fees and Charges
For more advice about your Certificate of Acceptance application then please arrange an appointment to see a Compliance Officer at our main centre at Forum North Whangarei which can be arranged by contacting us on the details below.
Once accepted, your application will be given a unique number and the "clock" started. Council has 20 days to process your application. All applications will undergo at least three stages of review:
A detailed review of the submitted documents and the relevant council property file, checking for related or other works that may be connected with the site.
At this stage the officer may make contact and request or seek further information or clarification of information submitted.
An officer will arrange a date for an inspection of the structure/building. This will involve checking the general site – for natural hazards, proximity of boundaries, and the condition of the stated building work.
It will be helpful if you or a representative can be present at the inspection to clarify details with the officer.
The officer will consider all the information and make decisions about what council can certify based on "reasonable grounds". This may go through a peer review process depending on the type of building.
If a request for further information is made, the statutory clock will be paused until all required information has been supplied.
During the review process the application will be checked for other requirements like the need for resource consent, development contributions etc. You will be informed if these apply.
Council can either issue or refuse to issue a Certificate of Acceptance. When issuing a Certificate of Acceptance, council will note on the certificate what parts of the structure and which building code clauses it is "reasonably satisfied" comply with the New Zealand Building Code.
The work that cannot be verified as complying will be "excluded".
Issuing a Certificate of Acceptance for unauthorised building works does not limit us from taking further enforcement action.
If compliance with the building code cannot be verified then a certificate will not be issued.
In these cases, it is likely that council will issue notice against the building/structure. This notice may advise the owner to apply for building consent to rectify a dangerous or insanitary situation or possibly to demolish or remove the building.
If you disagree or want to challenge the decisions made by council in this respect you can apply for a determination from the Ministry for Business Employment and Innovation on the decision. They will consider the case an issue their decision - which is binding on all parties. Further information can be found on their web pages on this procedure.
Determinations (Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment website).
If building work was done before 1st July 1992 (i.e. buildings constructed under the pre-1992 building permit system) a Certificate of Acceptance cannot be issued.
If required, you can commission a Condition Assessment Report prepared by a suitably qualified professional. The report should confirm:
Such a report records the views of the report writer only. Council do not require this report nor will add this to the property record held by council.
For further advice please refer to the Ministry's advice pages on Certificate of Acceptance.

Before getting a cosmetic injections, ask these 5 questions:
Selecting which cosmetic injections to have can be a bit daunting – especially if it is your first time. To help make this process easier, take a few minutes to ask yourself the following questions before your consultation and then again when meeting with your provider:
1. What areas of my face do I want corrected or enhanced?
2. Do I want a more permanent or temporary cosmetic injection?
3. What is my financial commitment for this treatment?
4. How will I look afterwards?
5. Does the provider have before and after photos of the particular treatment?
Two more important aspects when contemplating cosmetic injections to inquire upon are:
– The experience of your provider. Were they trained by representatives of the brand? How long have they been injecting the particular injectable you are interested in receiving?
– The quality of the product. Is the cosmetic injectable you are about to receive from the original company? If you are unsure, ask to see the packaging.
At Dermatology and Laser Center of Charleston we are proud to offer tried and true options for your cosmetic dermal filler or volumizer from our three board-certified dermatologists with many years of training and experience with injectables. If you're thinking about having a cosmetic dermal filler or volumizer injected or are curious about other anti-aging treatments, we offer Complimentary Cosmetic Consultations Monday – Friday.

The story of a transformed Dane
I've been a visa-holder in the USA for 6 months now. There's nothing 'big deal' about it, because of all my previous travels I have already spend a tremendous amount of time in the States.
But I feel at home. Like I said I would. I don't feel homesick, there's nothing about living in Denmark that I miss. My family, yes! I miss my family a GREAT deal! I hate missing out on my sisters graduations and their lives. I hate that I can't see my mom when I know she wants to see me. But, besides from that loss – I lost nothing by moving here.
I'm about to renew my lease on my apartment. It's already been a year since I got it. Still don't have enough money to completely furnish it, but my super keeps an eye out for me and that way I got a free (and well-maintained) IKEA couch.
I also finally got a real bed after about 9 months of sleeping on an air mattress. I got a good deal on it, from one of the Danish folks over here that had to go back to DK.
It's been super tough the first six month but I've found a way to keep up the good mood and continue my school work. That's why I'm here after all.
I'm continuing …. That's the purpose. Keep fighting for your dreams…… even if people shake their heads and say: Naaah, little missy, you won't make it!

The Green Party in England and Wales has used its autumn conference in Sheffield this weekend to call for an immediate moratorium on fracking.
'Fracking' is the controversial process of extracting shale gas, or coal bed methane, from underground by hydraulic fracture of the strata containing the gas.
Water, sand and a cocktail of chemicals are injected at high pressure to create cracks in the rocks underground to allow the gas to excape.
In the US, explosions, spills, and toxic pollution of air and water have been reported to the authorities, and there have been calls to outlaw the practice made around the world.
The Campaign Against Climate Change pressure group have planned "Camp Frack," a protest camp to be held this coming weekend near the shale gas exploration site at Hesketh Bank, West Lancashire, where drilling started recently.
Caroline Lucas MP and Labour MP Michael Meacher have initiated an Early Day Motion in Parliament to halt all fracking until a full and detailed scientific analysis of its impacts can be carried out.
Launching the Green Party's national campaign against fracking, Philip Mitchell, Chair of the Blackpool and Fylde Green Party, said: "There are already licensed sites in many parts of the country. Collieries in Derbyshire and West Yorkshire are possible sites for commercial coal bed methane production, which may require fracking. However, large investment may be required."
He continued: "Apart from colleries, one proposed site, in Kirkham in Lancashire, is in a populated area, and the planning application is identified as being on the land of HM Open Prison Kirkham.
"The first true European shale gas fracking operation at Weeton, outside Blackpool, has been suspected of causing two earth tremors. These left local residents feeling anxious and angry, but perhaps even worse are the accounts I have witnessed from some residents of long and terrible episodes of breathlessness coinciding with the fracking.
"Occurrences such as these have been linked to fracking in the US as well.
"Information obtained from the Environment Agency suggests that much more caution needs to be taken, with chemicals used in the fracking fluid being harmful to skin, eyes and aquatic life.
"It's time for an immediate halt and a complete re-think of the government's approach to these energy resources," said Mr Mitchell.

The wifi is not the best here so I have been missing for a couple of days, some might say it was because of the cocktails!
The days are just falling all into one, with sun bathing, bit of swimming, reading and not so much writing as I keep getting distracted…..Next week we are getting a car so all new adventures to look forward to, no cocktails though!
A lot of the people have gone home now so the place is very quiet but we are making are own entertainment. I sat outside the apartment today and wrote a few chapters, so I feel better now.
Does anyone know why my FaceBook update says this post is password protected? Thanks x

With the beginning of the New Year, Texas A&M University-Kingsville welcomed our 20th President Mark Hussey. President Hussey assumed his role on Jan. 2, 2019, and began his dedicated service to the development of the university, following longtime university president Dr. Steven Tallant. As part of his initiative to prioritize the partnership with the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation, Inc., President Hussey is pleased to announce that President Emeritus Tallant will serve in a consultant role alongside the Foundation, contributing to the university's continued advancement.
"I am thrilled Dr. Tallant will continue to be a visible member of the Javelina Family. His service in this new role is a testament of his love for this university," exclaimed President Hussey. "As the second-longest serving president of Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Dr. Tallant reflects the values of service, excellence, discovery and opportunity. His work will continue to help secure a margin of programmatic excellence and provide opportunities for young men and women to attend college."
Established in 1972, the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation, Inc. exists to assist the university by building private support. By providing these necessary resources, the Foundation will contribute essential opportunities that ensure students receive a quality education while at A&M-Kingsville. The Foundation also acts as a vital partner in developing donor relationships and linking resources in pursuit of the university's goals of advancement.
"I am very excited to continue representing the university in this role with the Texas A&M-Kingsville Foundation. During the last few years, our Foundation really got in alignment with the direction of the university, and we launched the With You. Without Limits. Campaign. I'm grateful to the Foundation Board for giving me the opportunity to continue increasing support for our programs, and I really appreciate being able to assist President Hussey in this way," expressed President Emeritus Tallant.
Texas A&M University-Kingsville is in the midst of a comprehensive campaign, With You. Without Limits., which set a goal of raising $100 million in private support. As of Dec. 31, 2018, the campaign has reached $70 million. Funds raised will be utilized effectively by enhancing and furthering student support, research and programming, facilities and equipment, and more for the university. Vice President of Institutional Advancement & External Relations/CEO of Texas A&M-Kingsville Foundation, Brad Walker, added, "Dr. Tallant has great love and enthusiasm for A&M-Kingsville, and it speaks well for both he and President Hussey to continue his involvement in the With You. Without Limits. Campaign."
President Emeritus Tallant will assist in the achievement of the campaign through his consulting role, working collaboratively with the Foundation and the university, understanding that the campaign's success will ensure a promising future for A&M-Kingsville and its students and solidify the university's presence and significance in South Texas and beyond.

An elegant antique peony flowered dahlia in hues of maroon often with a streak of vermillion in the center of the petal. A great choice for cut flowers.
Type: antique peony-flowered
Bloom size: 4″
Plant height: 4′
Bloom time: July – October
Out of stock
Prices shown are for 1 tuber.
Free shipping for orders of $150+.
All dahlia tubers will be shipped via USPS in late April/early May unless otherwise requested.
Dahlia 'Meadowburn Danny Bea' is an antique peony flowered dahlia, and a great variety for cut flowers. Some blooms exhibit the tightly curled inner florets more than others. Occasionally a plant produces blooms with streaks of white. This variety was likely bred by Ely, suggested by its similar characteristics to other varieties in the collection, as well as the knowledge that Ely often bred dahlias for hobby.
Our heirloom dahlia collection consists of seven dahlia varieties that have been growing in the gardens at Meadowburn Farm since Ely's era. For over 100 years, these same dahlias have been planted, dug, stored, and divided in the same way by the Meadowburn gardeners. Read more about the history of Meadowburn's heirloom dahlias.
Dahlias are tuberous rooted perennials native to Mexico and Central America, and can be grown as perennials in zones 8 and above. In zones 7 and below, dahlia tubers must be dug and stored for the winter. Dahlias perform best in a location with full sun and good drainage. Review our dahlia care guide for more tips on growing dahlias in your garden.

Let's face it, anything that makes the processes involved in banking any easier or faster is always a winner. Safe to say that tech has always been expected to be the one thing that can do this.
For local mobile banking solutions the case for making life easier usually involves using a USSD driven solution, something that has involved arrangements with the MNOs. Oddly enough, besides guys like Barclays Zimbabwe other local banks haven't been keen on making mobile banking apps, until now.
The CABS Mobile Banking App was introduced today as a bridge into mobile banking for all account users that have mobile internet access. It's available for CABS account holders that sign up for the mobile banking option. These are the people using the USSD powered Textacash service.
What sort of services does it offer?
The services available from the app are pretty much what you'll find on any decent banking app. Like the Barclays Bank App you can transfer funds to other accounts (any bank actually, it's not restricted to CABS), send money to a mobile number, make airtime purchases (all networks), use the branch and ATM locator and handle bill payments (DStv, ZESA, Umax and City of Harare and Bulawayo).
There are YouTube videos that have been created to explain how each of the CABS Mobile Banking App services work which can be accessed by following this link.
Is it a case of too late or too soon?
It's about time. CABS has had its hand in mobile banking for a while now with the Textacash. The service has been rather successful and popular as well with over 306,000 users. It has helped contribute to the bank's decent performance (CABS was judged to be the most profitable bank for 2014 in the Banks and Banking Survey 2014)
So if Textacash has won the hearts of a large segment of their clients and is contributing to the bank's performance why do an app? Doesn't USSD cover more people anyway, including the 85% that does not have smartphones?
It looks like this is part of a product extension that CABS had promised for a while. The bank introduced a refreshed corporate identity in July this year with a renewed focus on its customers. It looks like services like the app are meant to amplify that focus.
The CABS Mobile Banking App also seems like a good way to engage clients that already appreciate the convenience of mobile banking and steer them in the direction of internet services that will eventually take over where USSD is leading now.
There's also the huge factor of ease of use that USSD does not have. An app handles any transaction faster than any USSD session.
A positive move is the app's cross platform availability. It's available for free download for iOS, Android, Blackberry BBOS and also on feature phones like Nokia and the Asha range. It's available in the respective stores and also on www.cabsapps.com. CABS has also offered free WiFi in its branches that clients can use to download the app.

It's a well-known fact that most band names are essential gobbledygook, but here at Rocks Off we're working to find some meaning in the monikers.
Black Queen Speaks' own description of itself is better than any other we could possibly come up: They sound like Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden got their asses kicked by James Brown.
Their music is an electric fusion of hard rock, blues, and funk, a combination that has made us fairly leery of many, many more inept bands. What Black Queen Speaks bring to the table is, well... not sucking at it. The result is electric and dirty, music that acts as a neon sign spotlighting the kind of sex that was illegal in this city until recently. It's hate music to make love to, is what we're trying to say.
But what's up with that name? What Black Queen? What the hell does she say that you have to go on and on about it? We sat down with the band to find out.
"Many people have asked about the origins and the meaning of the name Black Queen Speaks," says singer Mike Blas. "The name was originally coined by my friend, Jon Liechty of Seattle. I brought it to Pez Lopez and explained his interpretation of the name.
"Black is truth and honesty; Queen is emotions; Speaks is expression. Together, Black Queen Speaks means a true, emotional expression, or honestly expressing oneself with one's art."
"The name has an enhanced meaning," adds bassist Lopez. "As a follower of Master Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, The Way of the Intercepting Fist, the name made perfect sense to me. It reminded me of Master Lee's famous quote, 'Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.'"
That may be what the names means to the band, but frankly it's such an odd little label that it brings all kind of images into our heads just hearing it, and very little of it has to do with honest emotional expression or legendary karate men.
What we were thinking about was chess. The queen is the ultimate powerhouse on the board, and the black queen tends to symbolize injury and vengeance as the most powerful warrior on the defending side.
"The black queen can go anywhere!" we shouted at the band. "Where do you want to go?"
"I just want to dance," says guitarist D2 Day laconically.
"I hope it takes me to Spain or Japan," puts in Lopez, "But L.A. would be a nice start."
They seem like such a laid-back bunch of guys for a group whose music is very much a swift elbow to the jaw. No saccharine lovey-dub songs for these guys, and listening to the player on their Web site was keeping us in a confrontational state of mind.
We still wanted to know who the Black Queen was, so we suggested a battle between the only two we knew of; RuPaul and Queen Latifah!
Who would win in that Thunderdome match?
"Queen Latifah would easily win," says Lopez. "She's from the NYC!"
"I would have to say RuPaul," puts in drummer Josh Skiffington. "That chick has some balls, literally!"
"The premise of this question is flawed," said Day, peacefully settling the matter. "The reason is that if this encounter ever did happen, Lil' Kim would be somewhere in the mix and someone would get shot."
There's no beating these guys. They checkmated us.

Black Queen Speaks: (n) 1. A true, emotional expression, or honestly expressing oneself with one's art. 2. The sound of Lil' Kim's glock. 3. A combo of rock, blues, and funk... but not in a crap way.
Black Queen Speaks performs Saturday, January 15, at the Jetspeed Live Music Festival at Warehouse Live, with Parabelle, Dev Electric, Exit 380, Chrome 44, Carmeci, and Dawn Over Zero.

Current UF students wishing to change to the political science major must meet the following major requirements by the end of their fourth tracking semester. Students interested in the political science major should meet with an academic advisor in the CLAS Academic Advising Center in Farrior Hall to discuss the possibility of changing majors to political science.
- Maintain a 2.0 UFGPA;
- Complete 3 of 4 political science critical-tracking courses (INR2001, CPO2001, POS2041, POT2002) and STA 2023 with a minimum grade of C;
- Maintain a 3.0 GPA in the above courses.
For information on admissions for transfer students, please see the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences' transfer admissions guidelines. To be competitive for transfer admission to the political science major, it is recommended that students meet Universal Tracking requirements for Term 4 (as referenced above), if all of those courses are available at their current institution. However, these are minimum course requirements and do not guarantee admission, as transfer admission is competitive and admission is based on space availability. Additional information on requirements for admission can be found here and requirements for the major can be found here.

Direct laser writing has been already demonstrated for the fabrication of under surface "buried" 3D mid-IR waveguides in chalcogenide glasses by employing a large photo-induced refractive index change in the features formed in the path of the focused beam from a short pulse laser. In this paper, we report on direct laser writing of relief diffraction gratings with periods of 6, 14 and 24 μm into the surface of Ge Ga Sb S chalcogenide glass by using a 800 nm Ti:saphire femtosecond pulse laser. The first order diffraction efficiency of the fabricated gratings was over 60 % at 650 nm. We have also fabricated a "composite" grating composed of three relief diffraction gratings inscribed in the same position, but with a mutual tilt. Composite grating provided complex multidirectional diffraction of the light in the accordance with geometrical arrangement and grating period of all the gratings inscribed. The fabrication was implemented on a computer controlled stage employing surface-to-beam alignment, laser power and raster pattern control. Pulse energies of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 μJ were used, resulting in channel widths of around 4, 5 and 6 μm, respectively, and depths up to 1.7 μm. We propose practical applications including surface relief diffraction micro-gratings at the ends of multimode chalcogenide optical waveguides or on the surfaces of bare core optical fibers used for chemical sensing. © 2012 SPIE.

President Trump informed the Republican leaders he would not sign their end of year continuing resolution. He has to be as annoyed and disappointed with the GOP as most of us are, probably more so. They have promised to get things done over and over and failed, offering only excuses. Sometime, either before or after his meeting with Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy, Trump tweeted the following which is so right on the money:
When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn't happen! We foolishly fight for Border Security for other countries – but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not good!
Exactly right, Mr. President! Thank you and God bless you.
(Wishing you, Melania, and the family a wonderful Christmas holiday respite)
America has spent billions, trillions, of dollars defending and giving aid to other countries. As Rush said recently, $5 billion is a rounding error in the overall scheme of things budgetary. We apparently just gave $10 billion to Mexico and Central America (out of the State Department budget) to "help improve conditions so people won't want to migrate."
Seems money flows out of DC to defend or help everyone but the hard working Americans footing the bill…and we're not allowed to object either, by the way. If we do we are labeled uncaring and evil. It's enough to take the Ho, Ho, Ho out of the holidays.
But, like many things American…we may just have to do it ourselves…to hell with the DC rats that give us no respect.
Airman Kolfage (featured in photo at left) is the man who was viciously attacked in comments. He's won awards for courage. He even co-founded a company called Military Grade Coffee with 10% of the proceeds going to veterans groups.
Now he's helped to start a GoFundMe for Trumps Wall.
Via the most excellent, J. Soden in comments:
And more on the Wall. As of 4:10pm, AZ time, the GoFundMe account has gone up to $7.9 million!
You can follow it here – or donate – at https://www.gofundme.com/TheTrumpWall
I just went to the page and there were 134,508 donations so far and the fund has risen to $8,186,020 (It's 3:43 PM CA time)
Only four more days…., my friends.

Aster Cafe has new brunch items
If you haven't been to the Aster's patio, go quickly, at least for one drink, before the cold comes and stays for good. The patio is spacious and full of greenery. It's right on the river, on the edge of downtown Minneapolis, and has a glorious view of the skyline.
Here's what we found on the new menu.[jump] What would brunch be without a bloody Mary? While we found them lacking in the spice department, the bloodies were a perfectly adequate way to kick off a Sunday morning.
We started with the Star Prairie smoked trout bagel ($6). The tanginess of the crumbled salmon and chive cream cheese was nicely mellowed out by the arugula. The pile of pickled onions were beautifully plated, but the quantity made for an overwhelming amount of onion in the first bite
The breakfast burrito ($7) is a decent-sized bundle of scrambled eggs, black bean and corn salsa, queso fresco, and chimichurri. The chimichurri gave every taste a warm, garlicky layer. The Aster's version of a breakfast burrito is a nice alternative to traditional heavy brunch fare--though next time we would definitely add the pulled pork ($2) to further jazz up the dish.
The first thing we noticed about the artichoke and brie sandwich ($8) was the beautiful crusty baguette. The bread gave a satisfying crunch that perfectly contrasted with the satisfying softness of the brie and sweet caramelized onions.Aster's scrambled egg sandwich ($6) is no reinvention of the breakfast sandwich wheel, but there is really nothing wrong with that. Toasted bread, egg, cheddar, and spinach--it's not terribly exciting, but that's okay because we sometimes need a comforting breakfast standard. Not to mention, for $6, it's a steal.
The only blemish on the day was the service. The drinks took about 20 minutes with a separate trip to bring water. Then we received place settings of napkins and knives with the promise of forks to come. Our rather uncomplicated food order took about 45 minutes to arrive, with an additional wait for the forks to materialize. The only thing that was prompt was the arrival of our check--so prompt, in fact, that it felt as if we were being shooed away.
Still, the patio is a gem, and worth a visit before the season finally ends.


text: Under the guise of Islamic law, the prophet Muhammad's Islam, and the Qur'an, states such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Bangladesh are using blasphemy laws to suppress freedom of speech. Yet the Prophet never tried or executed anyone for blasphemy, nor does the Qur'an authorize the practice. Asserting that blasphemy laws are neither Islamic nor Qur'anic, Shemeem Burney Abbas traces the evolution of these laws from the Islamic empires that followed the death of the Prophet Muhammad to the present-day Taliban. Her pathfinding study on the shari'a and gender demonstrates that Pakistan's blasphemy laws are the inventions of a military state that manipulates discourse in the name of Islam to exclude minorities, women, free thinkers, and even children from the rights of citizenship. Abbas herself was persecuted under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, so she writes from both personal experience and years of scholarly study. Her analysis exposes the questionable motives behind Pakistan's blasphemy laws, which were resurrected during General Zia-ul-Haq's regime of 1977-1988-motives that encompassed gaining geopolitical control of the region, including Afghanistan, in order to weaken the Soviet Union. Abbas argues that these laws created a state-sponsored "infidel" ideology that now affects global security as militant groups such as the Taliban justify violence against all "infidels" who do not subscribe to their interpretation of Islam. She builds a strong case for the suspension of Pakistan's blasphemy laws and for a return to the Prophet's peaceful vision of social justice.

The Morrow Plots is an experimental corn field at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Named for Professor George E. Morrow, it is the oldest such field in the United States[3] and the second oldest in the world. It was established in 1876 as the first experimental corn field at an American college and continues to be used today, although with three plots instead of the original ten.[3]
The results of the experiments which were carried out at the Morrow Plots showed that "soil quality is a vital component of agricultural productivity", and that the "use of science and technology ... increased crop productivity over four-fold."[3]
The site was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 23, 1968.[2]
It is popularly believed that the University constructed its Undergraduate Library to the west of the Plots with three stories underground, so that the library would not block the sun from the Morrow Plots. However, the University master plan at the time called for a large open plaza on that end of campus, which was an equally important reason the library was built underground.[4]

Over a three-year period you're transformed into a strategic business partner so that you can advise ING's senior management on important financial matters. But you're given a serious amount of responsibility right from day one.

After your first year, having gained a wealth of experience, you set to work in a more permanent position where you'll further enhance your knowledge. Your personal preferences and interests form an important starting point for the roles you fulfill.

Our WML mission statement
Join us as WE march for a new, positive politics
On 21 January 2017, the first day of Donald Trump's Presidency, women-led marches, welcoming all participants, will take place across the world. Women in the United States of America will hold a mass demonstration in Washington D.C. against the incoming administration of Donald Trump and Mike Pence. There will be a march in central London on the same day in solidarity with this action and in recognition of the threat the Trump-Pence administration poses to women globally.
As part of the organising team for the London event, WE call on our members and supporters of all genders to march as part of an international day of action in solidarity.
Founding member and actor Tanya Moodie will be speaking at a special rally in Trafalgar Square at the end of the march. Party leader Sophie Walker said: "This year I want to lead a party and a movement of women and men who will stand strong in the face of racism, sexism, homophobia and all other kinds of discrimination. We must unite to protect our rights in the face of a US administration and uncertain Brexit negotiation.
"We must protest an environment in which many minorities feel threatened. We must build tolerance and diversity at all levels of society. I am very proud to be joining men and women from across the country, and the world, to lead the walk across London and to mark the start of a movement for real change."
"I look forward to joining with people from across the country to show the world that WE will not tolerate these attitudes any more."
The US election has proven a catalyst for this grassroots movement of women and men to assert the positive values that the politics of fear denies. "What happens in America matters everywhere," says Catherine Mayer, WE co-founder and a dual US-UK national. "It is not only the world's biggest economy but the biggest exporter of ideas."
"WE will march on 21 January in solidarity with women and girls in the US and across the world who face barriers to their living free and equal lives. WE hope men and boys will join us, not only in recognition of these structural injustices but for their own sakes, because a more equal society will be better for them too."

How I learned to make an Android app from Scratch
Creating an application for Android is simple. It does require some coding knowledge but the UI elements are XML based and is easier than it looks. The first thing I did was get on Google's development website and following the steps to get theirdevelopment kit. I used the Eclipse IDE to help me program, it is the one that Google recommends on their site when describing how to install the SDK. Eclipse is very useful and if you are new to programming then I would suggest using it. The UI is easy to understand and I haven't had much trouble other than the basic learning curve for picking up shortcuts and just learning where everything is located.
First things first, you will need to download the Android SDK to develop for Android. In order to install the Android SDK, you will need to download JDK which is the resource for programming in Java. Android uses Java and if you are familiar with coding in Java then coding in Android won't be much different. When I started developing, I had problems when I downloaded the 64-bit version of the JDK so for beginners I would recommend getting the 32-bit JDK, even if you are on a 64-bit OS, just to make the installation process easier.
After the Android SDK is installed, download and install Eclipse. If you follow the link from Google's installation guide: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html. It will take you through the process of downloading eclipse and installing the Android plugins. There are several different versions of eclipse depending on the coding language you will use. It is recommended to get the Java version of eclipse although I do think any version will work.
Continuing to follow the tutorial will help you to install the ADT plugins which contains each API for the different versions of Android. You only need to download all of these if you plan to make an App for the older versions of Android. If you are not short on hard drive space then it wouldn't hurt to just download all of them. After that the tutorial will take you through create an Android emulator. This tool was the best tool I had when developing. It is basically an Android phone on your computer so you can see the results of you work in the time it takes to compile and run your program. It is easier than having to send the program to your phone each time you want to test.
Once you have downloaded the ADT plugins and created an Emulator then you are ready to start coding. The tutorials were a big help in getting me acquainted with the different aspects of App development and I was able to publish my first app without owning an Android phone. I own one now and am hoping to have my second app out soon.

Understand cabinet styles to make the best decision for your log home kitchen.
Traditional cabinets typically feature more detail, sometimes in the form of raised-panel doors or bead-board designs. Colors range from clean whites and creams, to reds, tans, and a wide range of wood hues. Inset recessed doors, where you'll see the frame around doors and the doors are set flush with the frame, are also very popular in traditional cabinet styles.

Willow Smith Says Shooting Her 'Whip My Hair' Video Was Hard Work — But Worth It!
She's only 9 years old, but Willow Smith seems mature beyond her years. Sure, she says filming the video for "Whip My Hair" was exhausting, but luckily she had her friends and family on set to support her.
"It was a long day," says Willow Smith about shooting the video for her hit single "Whip My Hair." If you haven't already seen the 9-year-old in action, you must check out the video, below! It's so catchy and impressive that a tween could do something so amazing. I guess it helps that her parents are superstars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. But still, Willow worked her butt off to make the video look good. "It was hard sometimes, but, like, if you have a commitment to that you have to stick with it," says Willow, who signed a record contract with music mogul Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.
And the best part about shooting the video was the fact that Willow could work with her BFFs! "Having my Warriorettes there, my best friends caring — Jade, Angel Punky, they're just all my best friends — and my family there just made it even better."
Sure, her parents are in the business, but Willow wants everyone to know that they have never pushed her into performing. "It's not because I have to, it's because I want it," she told MTV when she stopped by earlier this week (October 19).
I think this is one pint-sized performer who has a very long and successful career ahead of her. Do you agree, HollyMoms?

Voting Rights and Democracy
Ensuring the integrity of our elections by protecting the people's ability to exercise their constitutional right to vote
The right to vote, essential to a well-functioning democracy, is the most enshrined right in the Constitution and is protected by five separate Amendments. CAC works to extend this fundamental right to all Americans and push back against attacks that attempt to limit the people's access to the ballot box.
Voting Rights and Democracy in Brief
Vote Here sign | Lettawren, Flickr
Since the Supreme Court's ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, conservative state legislatures and, most recently, the Trump administration, have passed various restrictions aimed at abridging the right to vote. Discover how CAC is defending our democracy and the people's access to the ballot box against these attacks.

Featured Case
New York, et al. vs. U.S. Department of Commerce, et al.
On March 26, 2018—many years into preparation and testing for the 2020 Census—the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce ordered the Census Bureau to add a citizenship question to the Census, turning a blind eye to the overwhelming evidence that this question will deter participation by immigrants across the country who do not want an official record of their immigration status and fear that their responses will be used by the government to harm them and their families. The Secretary also announced that the government would use administrative records to double-check the accuracy of responses to the citizenship question....

We're gearing up here in Detroit for a pretty big winter storm. According to our boy in second city, Matt Hardigree (more on him later), they've already gotten "a lot [of snow], and it's blowing around." The Matt-man and I are both counting our blessings that it's only snow and not record-breaking cold. If it had been, at least one of us could have ended up like this poor sap in Columbus, Ohio who saw his purple Honda frozen to the street due to a double-tap of trouble — a parking next to a water main break and sub-zero temperatures. Although really, he's getting it lucky — 'round these parts if a man's parking a purple Honda in the wrong place, it won't get covered — it'll get filled — with water. Nothing like water, ice and pressure damage all at once. Check out the gallery below — we're going to go batten down the hatches or something.
