Syrian Refugees Voice Opinions On Airstrike Debate
Nobody has a bigger stake in this debate than the people of Syria. Their civil war has killed more than 100,000 people. Millions are refugees inside and outside their country.
NPR's Rima Marrouch has been talking with Syrians inside and outside of the country. And she's on the line from Beirut. Hi, Rima.
RIMA MARROUCH, BYLINE: Hello.
INSKEEP: How closely are refugees following all this?
MARROUCH: Very closely. In general, you can say that Syrians were never so divided on a topic as they are today when discussing possible U.S. action. But it's also not so black and white. We met Salah. He's an 18-year-old Syrian worker and he's a good example of those mixed feelings. His parents and siblings are living in Rakka(ph). It's a town outside of government control. I met him at a place that is called Tal Akhdar.
It's only a few miles from the Syrian border and it's so close that he actually can get Syria's cell network. And he and others use the hail to call family members, and here's what he told me when I asked him about the airstrikes.
SALAH: (Through interpreter) The strike will not be easy for Syrians. At the end, it's our country that will be hit. We're already fighting each other. Now a strike from the outside? And at the end, what we think doesn't matter. It won't change anything.
INSKEEP: Okay. So he said he thinks it's not going to change anything if they happen at all. Is that what a lot of Syrians are telling you?
MARROUCH: There is a sense that if the airstrikes will be very limited and will not change the balance of power on the ground, then it will actually only strengthen Assad. For others, the story is much more simple, like for Assi. I met him also in Tal Akhdar. He's from Barzeh, which is near Damascus. He fled heavy shelling from the government a few months ago.
His parents are still inside, but he supports the strike.
ASI: (Through interpreter) I'm not happy that we will be a target. I'm happy because the weapons that have been killing us will hopefully be destroyed. We are happy that the machines that are killing us will be hit.
INSKEEP: Now, with that said, Rima Marrouch, there's been a lot of movement in the last 24 hours or so towards some kind of diplomatic effort to avert airstrikes. Secretary of State John Kerry made a remark about Syria giving up its chemical weapons. Russia and Syria seized on this. Do refugees expect these strikes will really happen?
MARROUCH: There is a growing fear that the international community is abandoning Syrians again, that nothing will actually change. Others, although they are against the strike, and they hope it will not take place, they still are expecting it, like a man named Anas. He came to Lebanon two years ago. He comes from a staunchly pro-government area near Homs.
He actually comes from the same Alawite community as the Syrian president and he has concerns about civilian deaths.
ENIS: (Through interpreter) When they will strike, they will probably not even differentiate between supporters and the opposition. Of course the civilians pay the price. Civilians are already paying the price, since what they call a revolution has been started.
MARROUCH: Another woman, Dima, has the same concerns. She left Damascus only five months ago.
DIMA: I don't know what I have to hope because honestly I don't have hopes for the time being. I just want, like, less civilians to die. This is only the hope I have.
INSKEEP: Was there anyone, Rima Marrouch, that you spoke with who was eager for the United States to weigh in on this war?
MARROUCH: Yes. Actually, many people, and it's difficult to get a sense how many are for and how many are against. But for example, Karam Nachar is a well known Syrian writer and activist. His father is an opposition member of the Syrian National Council and Syrian National Coalition, and here is what he said about the strike.
KARAM NACHAR: It's understandable that Syrians are wary of the collateral damage or of the, you know, the violent effects of any American strike or of just the continuity of the war that has been taking place over the past two years. But I, for one, think that it is only through such a strike that an end to the war might be imagined.
MARROUCH: Karam says an airstrike is the only way to hold the Syrian government accountable for its action and to deter the government from using chemical weapons again.
INSKEEP: Rima, thanks very much.
MARROUCH: Thank you.
INSKEEP: That's NPR's Rima Marrouch in Beirut. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

My name is Meredith Langlitz and I am the Senior Programs Coordinator at the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA).
This morning when I arrived at AIA headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, I caught up on several e-mails, mostly related to International Archaeology Day (IAD). I was especially happy to receive confirmations that the Archaeology Museum at the University of South Alabama, the Traveling Museum of Oregon Prehistory, and the Great Basin Anthropological Association would be returning as IAD Collaborating Organizations this year and that the Western Historic Trails Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa will be collaborating with us and hosting an IAD event for the first time this year. IAD, held each year on the third Saturday of October, has grown into a very successful event in the past few years—last year we had over 75,000 people participate in more than 350 events around the world. Right now we are making a big push to get everyone signed up again and to recruit new events (if you know someone that might be interested in hosting or attending an event you can quickly and easily send them an email invitation here).
At 10am I had a brief phone call with Ethan Watrall who is organizing a "Current Practice in Digital Public & Community Archaeology" session for the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) meeting in San Francisco next April. (more…)

James Cameron Has Mayer in Pocket
John Mayer is lashing out in defense of "Avatar" director James Cameron -- claiming the director's F-bomb laced interaction with an autograph-seeking man at LAX last week was a "smear" -- because the "fan" was really an "Obnoxious E-bay Poster Guy."
It's all in Mayer's blog, in which he claims Cameron was completely justified in denying the autograph and calling the man a "f**king a**hole" in the process. In the blog, Mayer also spins a conspiracy involving the autograph seeker, TMZ and American Airlines.
But there's another side to the story : Even if the man is a professional autograph seeker -- is it wrong for him to become a middleman for people outside of L.A. who want an autograph from James Cameron? After all, James did announce that he has no problem signing for people.
So the new question...

Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza (14-2 MMA, 4-0 SF) looks for his second title defense when he meets Luke Rockhold (7-1 MMA, 6-0 SF) on Sept. 10.
On Sunday, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported that the bout wouldn't be part of a July show, as officials had announced.
Rockhold subsequently announced via Twitter that it'll take place at a currently unannounced Sept. 10 Strikeforce show.
In addition to Souza vs. Rockhold, the event is expected to feature Maximo Blanco (8-2 MMA, 0-0 SF) vs. former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson (18-4 MMA, 9-2 SF).
A host city and venue have not been finalized.
After Jake Shields vacated the belt to sign with the UFC, Souza won the belt with a unanimous-decision victory over Tim Kennedy in August. Then in January, he submitted Robbie Lawler for his first successful title defense. The former DREAM title challenger now owns a four-fight win streak, which included Strikeforce victories over Matt Lindland and Joey Villasenor.
Rockhold earned his title shot on the heels of a six-fight win streak; all of the victories have come under the Strikeforce banner (and all via stoppage). However, the American Kickboxing Academy fighter, who defeated Jesse Taylor and Paul Bradley in his two most recent fights, hasn't competed since February 2010 because of injuries.
Blanco, meanwhile, makes his promotional debut following a run in World Victory Road's Sengoku event series. The former lightweight King of Pancrase is riding six-fight win streak, which included a 4-0 mark in 2010 with wins over the likes of Rodrigo Damm and Kiuma Kunioku. They were two of his seven career knockouts.
Thomson fights for the first time since a unanimous-decision loss to Tatsuya Kawajiri at "DREAM Dynamite!! 2010." Prior to the setback, the AKA fighter had won 10 of 11 fights, most of them with Strikeforce. The ex-champ's lone defeat came in a title loss to Gilbert Melendez.
For more on Strikeforce in September, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Ascension Day procession on the occasion of the Patron Saint-day of the City of Belgrade
His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch, officiated the Holy Hierarchal Liturgy with the con-celebration of Bishop Irinej (Dobrijevic) of Australia and New Zealand and the clergy of the Archbishopric of Belgrade-Karlovci and other dioceses.
The church of Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Belgrade was too small for lots of faithful people who gathered on this occasion. Bishop Irinej congratulated both the Patron Saint-day (slava) of this church and of the City of Belgrade. The Serbian Patriarch blessed the slava cake.
The Ascension Day procession was led by Patriarch Irinej with Bishops Irinej of Australia-New Zealand, newly elected Bishops: Andrej (Cilerdzic) of Austria-Switzerland and Jovan (Culibrk) of Slavonia-Pakrac. The faithful people and representatives of the City authorities, Army and Police etc. were together today.
At the forefront of the Ascension Day's procession there were: Mayor of Belgrade Mr. Sinisa Mali, Deputy Mayor Mr. Andreja Mladenovic, City Manager Mr. Goran Vesic, Head of the City Administration Mrs. Sandra Pantelic, member of the City Council Mr. Radenko Durkovic with associates, Director of the Administration for Cooperation with Churches and Religious Communities Dr. Mileta Radojevic, the Royal Couple Karadjordjevic, Crown Prince Aleksandar and Princess Katherine, and lots of people.

Dealing With Stress At Work or Managing Stress at Home
Accidents in the work place that are directly related to stress are exponentially increasing every year.
Employees are coming to work but their mind may be somewhere else consumed with worry.
The latest estimate of the annual financial cost to employers of each caregiving employee is $2,110 (National Alliance for Caregiving, 2006).
Some of the work by an employee caregiver happens on the employer's time:
See where this is headed? Being a working family caregiver reduces one's ability to be present, focused, and productive while at work. So there is a loss in productivity for the employer as well.

As the Packers head to the NFC Championship, it's worth taking a few minutes to think about the reasons we are in this position. Some time ago, I read this study, by Kevin Hasset, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute. I think about it every time I see successful players like Jason Spitz, Scott Wells, Mark Tauscher, Donald Driver, and Greg Jennings playing at a high level for relatively little money. (Driver has since gotten paid, but the Packers had him for a bargain for years.)
This analysis targets the economics of the Packers' 2006 draft. For a number of reasons, Hassett, using a theory developed by economists at Yale University and the University of Chicago, believes the Packers did very well. He writes:
The winner? The Green Bay Packers. They pulled off a number of clever trades, shrewdly stockpiling the enormously valuable second- and third-round picks. In the end, they drafted one player in the first round, two in the second, and two in the third.
Given the history of picks in the second and third rounds, Green Bay should have a number of players locking down valuable slots on their roster for years, freeing up resources to buy veteran stars when they need them. Other teams that pursued similar strategies included the St. Louis Rams, the New York Jets, and the Minnesota Vikings.
Read the whole thing, as they say. It's well worth your time.

Receiving Mode Still. I like this one.
I recently heard a vicious radio debate between women who believe that mothers should stay home and others who believe that mothers should work outside the home. All the debaters were mothers themselves.
As I listened wearily while ducking and dodging the ladies' sucker punches like a cornered boxer, I thought… this is really getting old.
I've been both a "working" and a "stay-at-home" mom so I've experienced both sides of the internal and eternal debate moms endure all day, every day. When I worked outside my house, Mommy Guilt rode shotgun with me each morning, chiding me for dropping off my sick boy at day care instead of keeping him home and for rocking him the night before instead of preparing for work. When I got to work each day Mommy Guilt whispered that a good mom would still be at home with her son and when I returned home she'd insist that a better teacher would have stayed at work longer. When I'd visit girlfriends who stayed home, Mommy Guilt would say "See… this lady's doing it right. Her kids are better off than yours are." And Mommy Guilt certainly had a lot to say when Chase's day care provider admitted that he had taken his first steps while I was working. Every night when I finally got Chase to sleep, finished grading papers, and collapsed into the couch, Mommy Guilt would snuggle up next to me and sweetly say "shouldn't you spend some quality time with your husband instead of checking out?" And finally, before I fell asleep each night, Mommy Guilt would whisper in my ear, "YOU KNOW, THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GOOD MOTHER AND WIFE IS IF YOU QUIT YOUR JOB AND STAY HOME."
And so now I'm a stay-at-home mom. And the thing is that Mommy Guilt stays home with me. These days I experience her less as a drive-by-shooter and more as a constant commentator. Now she sounds like this:
"Did you go to all three of those college classes just so you could clean the kitchen and play Candy Land all day? And how is it that you don't even do those things very well? Can you concentrate on nothing? Look at this mess! A good mom would clean more and play less. Also, a good mom would clean less and play more. Also a good mom would clean more and play more and quit emailing altogether. Additionally, I've been meaning to ask if you're sure you feel comfortable spending so much money when you don't even make any. Moreover, when was the last time you volunteered at Chase's school? What kind of stay at home mom doesn't go to PTA meetings or know how to make lasagna? Furthermore, nobody in this house appreciates you."
My favorite, though, is that when I finally do sit down, concentrate on one of my kids, and read a few books all the way through… instead of saying "Good job!" Mommy Guilt says, "See how happy your daughter is? You're home all day…why don't you do this more often?"
And of course, before I go to sleep every night she whispers… "YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU'D BE A BETTER MOTHER AND WOMAN IF YOU COULD JUST GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND WORK."
Mommy Guilt is like that scene from "Liar Liar" in which Jim Carrey enters a bathroom, throws himself against the walls, slams his head into the toilet, and rubs soap into his eyes. When a confused observer asks what on Earth he's doing he says, "I WAS KICKIN' MY ASS! DO YA MIND?"
I understand the act of kicking one's own ass. I do it all the time.
What I don't understand is why some ladies insist on making everything worse by kicking each other's asses.
To the women who argue vehemently that all "good mothers" stay at home: Are you nuts? If you got your way, who would show my daughters that some women actually change out of yoga pants and into scrubs and police uniforms and power suits each day? How would my girls even know that women who don't feel like carrying diaper bags can carry briefcases or stethoscopes instead…or also? How, pray tell, could I tell them with a straight face that they can grow up to be whatever they want to be?
And to the women who argue that all stay home mothers damage women's liberation: Are you nuts? Aren't you causing some damage by suggesting that we all must fit into a category, that women are a cause instead of individuals? And doesn't choosing to spend your limited time and energy attacking "us" set "us" back? But for argument's sake, what if you got your way and every mother was required to work outside of the home? What would that mean to ME? Who would volunteer to lead my son's reading group at school, host his class party, plan his Sunday school lesson or wait with him in the parking lot when I forget to pick him up? Who would watch my daughter while the baby gets her shots? Who would knock on my door and tell me that my keys are still in the front door, the doors to my van are open, and my purse is in the driveway?
And if every woman made the same decision, how would my children learn that sometimes motherhood looks like going to work to put food on the table or stay sane or share your gifts or because you want to work and you've earned that right. And that other times motherhood looks like staying home for all of the exact same reasons.
As far as I can tell, no matter what decision a woman makes, she's offering an invaluable gift to my daughters and me. So I'd like to thank all of you. Because I'm not necessarily trying to raise an executive or a mommy. I'm trying to raise a woman. And there are as many different right ways to be a woman as there are women.
So, angry, debating ladies… here's the thing. My daughter is watching me AND you to learn what it means to be a woman. And I'd like her to learn that a woman's value is determined less by her career choices and more by how she treats other women, in particular, women who are different than she is. I'd like her to learn that her strength is defined by her honesty and her ability to exist in grey areas without succumbing to masking her insecurities with generalizations or accusations. And I'd like her to learn that the only way to be both graceful and powerful is to dance among the endless definitions of the word woman… and to refuse to organize women into categories, to view ideas in black and white, or to choose sides and come out swinging. Because being a woman is not that easy, and it's not that hard.
And speaking of "Liar Liar" – angry debating ladies . . . when you yell about how much peace you have with your decisions, it just doesn't ring true. The thing is, if you're yelling, I don't believe that you've got it all figured out. I don't even believe that YOU believe you've got it all figured out. I think your problem might be that you're as internally conflicted as the rest of us about your choices. But instead of kicking your own ass, you've decided it'd be easier to kick ours.
Which is tempting, but also wrong.
So, maybe instead of tearing each other up, we could each admit that we're a bit torn up about our choices, or lack thereof. And we could offer each other a shoulder or a hand. And then maybe our girls would see what it really means to be a woman.

Nielsen: Global Consumers Highlight Opportunities for Retailers, Brand Marketers and Service Providers to Better Meet Needs of Aging Consumers
New York – Feb. 25, 2014 – As the 65-and-older demographic increases in size and spending power, retailers, brand marketers and service providers have opportunities to better support the health and well-being of aging consumers, according to new findings from Nielsen, a leading global provider of information and insights into what consumers watch and buy.
According to the Nielsen Global Survey about Aging, which polled more than 30,000 Internet respondents in 60 countries[i], more than half of global consumers surveyed (51%) say they do not see advertising that reflects older consumers, and half say it is difficult for an aging demographic to find product labels that are easy to read. Forty-three percent of global respondents (when thinking about the product or service needs of the aging consumer) have trouble locating packages that are easy to open. More than four in 10 cannot find foods that meet special nutritional diets (45%), offer smaller-portion-sized food packaging (44%) or feature clearly labeled nutritional information (43%). Global respondents also find it difficult to navigate assistance from service-oriented industries like housing (46%), transportation (44%), finance (44%), medical insurance (39%) and meal-delivery (36%).
"These findings serve as a wake-up call to manufacturers, retailers and other marketers that need to bolster efforts to better reach and cater to an aging demographic," said Todd Hale, senior vice president, Consumer & Shopper Insights, Nielsen. "People 65 and older already outnumber kids under 14 in many developed countries like Japan, Germany and Italy.[ii] While the global aging population is growing in number, their spending power is growing, too, as many have more time to shop and spend than their younger counterparts."
Nielsen information also shows that one in three global respondents believe stores are not catering to the needs of older consumers by providing aisles dedicated to aging-needs products (34%), offering handicapped check-out lanes (33%) or lending assistance with grocery bags (36%). Roughly one in four respondents around the world say retailers are not equipped with benches to sit down (29%), ample handicapped parking (25%), handicapped bathrooms (23%), easy-to-reach shelving (23%) or handicapped ramps and doors (22%).
Aging Concerns Have a Regional Footprint
In North America, products, services and store amenities that cater to an older demographic claim the highest percentages for fully meeting respondents' needs by providing clearly labeled nutritional information on packages (53%), foods for special dietary needs (52%), ample lighting (51%), handicapped bathrooms (38%), handicapped ramps and doors (37%), electronic shopping carts (36%), online shopping delivery options (34%), wide aisles for handicapped accessibility (34%) and courteous customer service (33%).
Retailers in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East/Africa regions receive the highest percentages of "fully meets needs" responses for easy-to-open product packaging (both 54%), benches to sit down (29% and 25%, respectively), assistance with grocery bags (24% and 27%, respectively), easy-to-reach shelving (30% and 33%, respectively) and product promotions geared toward smaller family needs (23% and 27%, respectively).
Conversely, more than half of European and Latin American respondents say they have trouble finding products that are easy to read (61% and 59%, respectively) and are clearly labeled with nutritional information (53% and 54%, respectively). Forty-six percent of Europeans and 48 percent of Latin Americans surveyed say they can't locate foods that meet special dietary needs. In Europe, 45 percent believe the stores they shop in are not equipped with aisles dedicated to aging-needs products, and more than half can't find electric shopping carts (59%) or get help with grocery bags to the car (52%). More than four in 10 Latin Americans believe retail stores do not provide benches to sit down (49%), dedicate aisled to aging-needs products (45%) or provide handicapped check-out aisles (43%).
"As retailers and manufacturers clamor to create a point of differentiation for their products and services, they only need to listen to the loud call for help coming from aging consumers in all parts of the world," said Hale. "Improvements such as using larger fonts on product labels and signage, arranging age-related products in one place and at arm's length for easier accessibility, and offering friendly customer service can go a long way in building loyal patronage."
High Interest in Digital Engagement for Grocery Shopping
More than one-third (37%) of global respondents say they are already ordering groceries online for home delivery, with more than half (54%) willing to try if it becomes available.
Usage of online coupons for grocery shopping is already a practice among one-third (32%) of global respondents, with percentages in Asia-Pacific (41%) and North America (38%) exceeding the global average. Three-quarters of respondents in Latin America, 64 percent in Middle East/Africa, 61 percent in Europe, and 54 percent in both Asia-Pacific and North America say they are willing to use online coupons for grocery shopping.
Online and mobile shopping lists are also used by nearly one-quarter (23%) of global respondents, while three in four respondents in Latin America are willing to use online shopping lists if they become available, along with six in 10 from Middle East/Africa (63%), Asia-Pacific (62%), North America (62%) and Europe (61%).
"While the findings are based on online respondents and represent an increased propensity for online usage, the research reflects the sentiment of leading-indicator attitudes that will only continue as Internet penetration rates grow," said Hale. "As the Internet's influence continues to permeate the everyday lives of connected people everywhere, savvy marketers need to ensure they are connecting with them, too."
Not Exactly Home Alone
Nearly half (46%) of global respondents say they have difficulty finding housing services and assistance when it comes to the needs of the elderly. Half of global respondents plan to live at home with either a spouse (38%) or the aid of professional help (12%). Reliance on family in old age is strongest in the Middle East/Africa, with 45 percent expecting to live at home with a spouse and 27 percent planning to live with their children, which is nearly double the global average of 15 percent.
Nearly one-fourth (23%) of North Americans plan to live in an assisted living facility, compared to 15 percent globally, and 17 percent in Asia-Pacific expect to live in a nursing home, compared to the global average of 13 percent.
[i] The findings in this survey are based on respondents with online access across 60 countries. While an online survey methodology allows for tremendous scale and global reach, it provides a perspective only on the habits of existing Internet users, not total populations. In developing markets where online penetration has not reached majority potential, audiences may be younger and more affluent than the general population of that country. Additionally, survey responses are based on claimed behavior, rather than actual metered data.

About the Nielsen Global Survey
The Nielsen Global Survey about Aging was conducted between Aug. 14 and Sept. 6, 2013, and polled more than 30,000 consumers in 60 countries throughout Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and North America. The sample has quotas based on age and sex for each country based on their Internet users, is weighted to be representative of Internet consumers and has a maximum margin of error of ±0.6%. This Nielsen survey is based on the behavior of respondents with online access only. Internet penetration rates vary by country. Nielsen uses a minimum reporting standard of 60 percent Internet penetration or 10 million online population for survey inclusion. The Nielsen Global Survey, which includes the Global Consumer Confidence Survey, was established in 2005.

Make sure you neutralise your palate:
If you are trying several varieties, neutralise your palate in between each tasting: with white bread, weakly brewed rose hip tea or mineral water. Before tasting, do not smoke or eat any highly spiced foods.
Important: Begin the tasting with the chocolate with the lowest percentage of cocoa. Start with white chocolate, then milk chocolate and finally dark chocolate. Gradually work up to high-percentage varieties. Chocolate is best tasted in a calm atmosphere so that you are able to concentrate on your senses. In the following we will explain the main principals.
The first impression is also important when it comes to chocolate tasting. Therefore, you should first pay attention to the chocolate's appearance – colour, an even structure and sheen.
Now you can assess the structure of the surface (from smooth to rough or grainy).
Hold a piece of chocolate to your ear and break it. Pay attention to the noise it makes: it may be distinct or rather dull. High-quality unfilled chocolate breaks with a distinctly perceivable cracking sound. The edge of the break is smooth and without crumbs.
You can use your nose to perceive the chocolate's many aromas: You can either inhale its scent by holding a piece directly under your nose or you can let the chocolate melt in your mouth, breathe out and then inhale the aromas.
We now come to the most intense experience of chocolate tasting: Let a piece slowly melt in your mouth. Spread the chocolate with your tongue to bring it in contact with your taste nerves. What do you perceive?

Hi, Anita:
Employee theft has become a topic of discussion lately at my company, as we are evaluating how to reduce costs and increase profitability. What tips do you have to help prevent and stop theft in the workplace?
Theft in the workplace costs businesses massive amounts of money every year. A package of pens here or there could seem pretty harmless, right? Wrong. If you start to think that your employees wouldn't possibly steal from you, well think again.
American Databank estimates that:
- Employee theft costs U.S. companies over $120 billion a year.
- 95% of all companies are victims of theft.
- Only 10% of employee theft is actually discovered.
- Over 2 million crimes occur in the workplace annually.
These statistics are hard to swallow but are important to keep in mind when deciding to develop a stringent anti-theft policy. Here are my tips to help prevent these problems from even making their way into your workforce.
- Conduct pre-employment screenings. This includes verifying experience, contacting references, conducting criminal background checks, and administering drug tests. As hard as it is to believe, up to 40% of information on applications and résumés is falsified or misrepresented. Companies like Select Staffing conduct extensive screenings before placing seekers on assignment with a client.
- Develop and clearly post your zero-tolerance theft policy. Ensure that all employees are informed of your expectations and the consequences of stealing or ignoring theft by other co-workers.
- Install surveillance cameras in areas that are prone to theft. These areas could include your supply/stock room, employee break room, parking lots, sales floor, or back office. These alone are a huge deterrent to thievery.
- Implement several steps of controls and auditing into your standard routine. Have reports created and pulled that evaluate inventory levels and cash inflows/outflows.
- Have auditors from an independent agency audit and evaluate your financial records.
- Only hire bonded employees for positions where they will manage company finances and inventories. This will protect your company in the event of loss through the employee's actions.
Employers and managers, what do you do to prevent theft in your place of business? Have you had to terminate an employee for stealing?
Best wishes,

Many find this to be the awkward one, the child that doesn't belong anywhere. It's slotted between two punk-spirited albums full of anger and vitriol, often eschewing melody for lyrics. The Manics sounded on their previous album like they're more interested in starting fires than playing rock music. The Holy Bible was a philosophy professor going off-topic and refusing to let his students go. What does this collection of depressed soft rock has to do with anything?
Maybe these two albums were actually the abnormalities, not this. If you listen to them closely, you'll find the same despair lurking there. Generation Terrorists wasn't a victorious, rabble-rousing album but a car on fire just waiting to crash. What fueled its anger was despair, the thought that no matter how loud they'll play nothing will change. That's why it sounds so different compared to other political music. As for The Holy Bible, beneath the philosophy and big words it had "This is Yesterday", "Die in the Summertime" and "4st 7lb". The only reason the lattermost doesn't fit here is because it's not melodic enough.
This is the definitive Manic Street Preachers. It's not their best album and it suffers from filler, but it's one that captures their essence. If you have to distill the Manics, they're a melodic rock band with as much brains as they got despair. 'Despair' is the key word here, because every song drips with it.
Just look at the song titles. It's one of those albums that can convince you of having a concept – "Life Becoming a Landslide", "From Despair to Where", even a title like "Roses in the Hospital" hints more at despair than anything else. Even when they sing about something other than despair, it comes to that. "La Tristessa Durera" – a contender for their best song – is about a veteran who's been abandoned by society, forced to live with his memories alone. I wasn't in combat duty, but I did have a tough role in the military and that song is dead-on in expressing the alienation, the loneliness, how everyone treats your service like everyone goes through it. To me, this song is a godsend, showing us someone understands the loneliness of a discharged soldier.
The music is more softer, more melodic. Some expressed astonishment at this, but were the Manics ever brutal? Even The Holy Bible has its melodic, almost poppy moments. They just play at mid-tempo, which brings their melodic chops to the surface. If it was odd that their later records were so melodic, it's only because we wanted to forget this record and believe in the Manics as explosive rock-n-rollers.
They never were that. Gold Against the Soul is the only logical continuation of their debut. All its fury and politics and anger and telling to people to fuck off were a last attempt at recovering from despair. Here, they wake up, quite indifferently, to a reality they knew they couldn't change. How else to react to a rebellion you knew was lost in the first place?
The album's power comes not just from despair, but a unique hopelessness. There was never a good time according to this music. Everything was always bad, but they just happen to sing about it now. "Life Becoming a Landslide", in one sentence, points to a past that's the same as the present. A lot of depressive music wax sentimental about a fall from grace. The fall is a common element in our thinking in dark times. Nostalgia is a place to run to, knowing that if things used to be good then maybe they have a chance of improving. The darkest albums have these, since they describe some kind of deterioration. There's none of that here, just a monotony of despair.
The mood and sound are strong, but the songs alone don't reach these heights. The album especially falters after "Roses in the Hospital", and the final tracks are bursts of noise that only help to keep the overall mood, but not add to it too much. It's also reliant on its sound more than anything. It sounds great when played from beginning to end, but if you find yourself choosing an individual song the choices narrow. "Sleepflower" is fantastic as an opener only.
When it's good, it's brilliant. "La Tristessa Durera" is a masterpiece. "Roses in the Hospital" is the second highlight, a funky Alternative Dance number that turns its despair into a protest. It's the one song that captures some of the debut's anger with the cry of "We don't want your fucking love", but only to fall back to despair. Other songs need the album's mood to stick, but they're good enough – "Life Becoming a Landslide" is strangely pretty, "From Despair to Where" is okay with brilliant lyrics and "Drug Drug Druggy" captures some Hard Rock intensity.
It's also the album where the Manics begun their career as some of Rock's best lyricist. The poetic titles are enough, but there are countless quotables here – "My idea of love comes from/A childhood glimpse of pornography", "I am just a fashion accessory", "I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep". If you need words to give your thesis or your book a title, there's plenty here.
So it's not their best album, but it is their best album, but if I have to direct a beginner I'll direct them to this. They have more explosive albums, angrier albums, smarter albums and catchier albums. No album captured their essence like this, a poetry full of despair and intelligence that happens to go along with Pop hooks and guitar noise. Start your exploration here.
What the hell does the album title mean, by the way?

I have installed the NetWrix Privileged Account Manager and everything seems to work correctly except when I add an domain account and a domain machine where that account runs a service it does not change the service password when I check the password back in. If I add the same thing but instead of running a service with the account I run a scheduled task it seems to change the password for that part. The service account that NetWrix Privileged Account Manager runs as is a domain admin and a member of the admin group on the machine I am adding and the account I am running the service under is a local admin on that machine as well. Once I check the password back in it is successful but if I go into the services right afterwards and issue a restart of that service it fails or gets stuck stopping. Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it out

I'm having the same issue. I when I check the ID in, I can't get a service account or a scheduled task to run successfully anymore. Before I check it in, everything works fine but once checked in, nothing works. Can you tell me what you did to fix your issue? Thanks!

I'm experiencing a similar issue. For me, service account passwords appear to reset correctly, but its just the scheduled tasks that aren't working once the managed account's password gets reset. Ideas anyone?
