Kreuzlingen, September 27, 2017 - Today innovations through digitization are a part of everyone's everyday world. It is no surprise that these developments do not omit the payment sector and that mobile payment is one of the most important financial trends of the present. Various new payment methods become technologically realisable, however there is no final decision made yet whether we will pay with our mobile phone, our smartwatch, our fingerprint or with a wink in the future.
Mobile payment in Switzerland and in other European countries equals a patchwork rug. Already distributed systems like Yapital or mpass in Germany vanish, however new providers move up. Despite various setbacks, the digitization trend within the payment sector does not run out of steam and new technologies, for example blockchain, give a fresh impetus. In Switzerland PSD2 is an omnipresent and a much-discussed topic. In the EU-countries everyone works at the implementation of the regulations of PSD2, whereas Switzerland takes a different approach and develops market-conform solutions. One way or another the financial sector faces new rules and new takers.
Exactly those topics will be discussed by speakers and participants at the 6th Swiss Payment Forum in Zurich in November. Highlights of the annual conference are among others an overview about the most important payment trends in Switzerland, the effects of biometry on digital payment, the implication of PSD2 for merchants and banks, Value Added Services as a mean to escape the price spiral and the potential of blockchain as a game changer not only in the financial sector.

"The RD program is designed to build an inclusive learning community. The activities in the program help students develop a positive self-concept and respect for others, reduce challenging behavior, and create learning teams that support diverse learners." (Source: http://www.threeblockmodel.com/respecting-diversity-program-videos.html)
In her book "Teaching to Diversity: The Three-Block Model of Universal Design for Learning", Jennifer Katz lays out three blocks that she feels are important in creating inclusive classrooms and schools. The blocks are (1) Systems and Structures, (2) Instructional Practices and (3) Social and Emotional Learning: Developing Compassionate Classroom Communities. The following graphic summarizes her approach:
The first component of the program is the "Respecting Diversity Program". This program consists of 8-9 lessons (depending on if you choose to the 8th) and focuses on students understanding themselveas a learners using Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. I'm struck again and again each time these come up by the fact that there is actually no conclusive research that using Gardner's Intelligences enhances "learning". I wonder if it is because of the way that we try to measure "learning" and if we have gotten that definition correct.
The program is wonderful as it has students look at their learning strengths and challenges and think through how they can use their strengths to maximize their learning and then it expands in to the benefit of working with others who have different learning strengths from you. Students can start to see the true power of collaborating with others when it is framed this way. The whole truly can become more then the sum of the parts when we stop to think about how the diversity of the group can add to the final product.
The last lesson in the program is the lesson that speaks to my heart as it addresses the diversity of "disability" and speaks to the fact that for those with disabilities, some of their "intelligences" may create more significant barriers. For example, a person who is blind would not be a strong visual learner. But then it flips it around... that person who is blind often has a learning strength (often auditory learning) that he/she can use to maximize his/her learning. In the end, we all have our learning strengths and challenges and it is just a matter of degree.
I think one of the things that struck me with the whole program was how it ties directly in to the Psycho-educational Assessments that we often do in "special education" as these assessments often give us glimpse in to processing challenges that a student may or may not have. Particularly for students with Learning Disabilities, we will see a processing challenge that creates a barrier to "intelligence". It speaks to the importance of Universally Designed Learning so we can help students to understand both these challenges and their strengths and then find tools and methods for them to use their strength so that they can demonstrate their knowledge. When we restrict that student to paper and pencil methods, the only choice we have is to "dumb down" or remediate the work they are doing. When we put that student in a self-contained setting we often are looking to keep using the process that we have traditionally defined as the "right process" and remediate the work. When we place this student in an inclusive environement we are challenged with the task of helping them to find the tools, modifications, adaptions that will help them use their processing strengths rather than focus on their processing weaknesses. This is where we get to the concept of "high expectations for all" that comes with inclusive approaches to education.
The idea behind this curriculum though is that we shouldn't just be restricting these supports to those with special education codes. We should be teaching all students about their learning strengths and challenges, exposing them to a variety of tools and methods that link to those strengths and challenges and then give them choice and freedom to use these as they need to so they can maximize their own learning. We often feel overwhelmed with the idea of having to differentiate for students but perhaps we should consider the possibility that if we provide them with the right background and the right tools, students will actually be able to differentiate for themselves.
Maybe this is one of those situations where we should work smarter instead of harder.

'How do you get an unemployed alcoholic to pay a £100 fine?'
That was the question echoed around the room as Kirklees Council's plans to tackle street drinking were unveiled.
The proposals, which would cover Dewsbury and Batley town centres as well as the real ale trail, could see £100 fines issued for street drinking, public urination and irresponsible dog walking.
But members of the public raised doubts about enforcement as the plans for Public Space Protection Orders, as they would be known, were unveiled at Dewsbury and Mirfield District Committee last week.
Bruce Bird said: "While the simplification is useful, the reality is unless it is witnessed by a council officer or the police then nothing is going to happen.
"It is a commendable change but how are you going to enforce it?"
Coun Darren O'Donovan (Lab, Dewsbury West), who is the chairman of the committee, said: "I would like to give credit where credit is due – I don't want people to think the police are incapable of catching people whose dogs have fouled or who urinate publicly.
"And it is important that we don't stereotype particular groups."
Further concerns were raised about public drinking and anti-social behaviour in Earlsheaton.
John Sheen said: "We need video cameras up there – giving out £1,000 fines would make the CCTV pay for itself. It's something quick and easy."
The proposals are part of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 and give local authorities the option to combine a variety of different orders into one.
A Public Space Protection Order would be enforced in an area where anti-social behaviour is judged to have a "detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality".
They last for three years but can be reviewed.
Last week, Trish Makepeace, the president of Dewsbury Chamber of Trade, and Barry Shaw, the operation manager at the company that owns the Old Turk and West Riding pubs in Dewsbury, welcomed any move that could curb street drinking, saying the problem was damaging for business and damaging for the town.
The plans would include a reduction to £60 for early payment and possible reductions or a discharge for completion of a "Good Citizen" course, which would only be available once. Failure to pay the fine would result in prosecution, with fines increasing to a maximum of £1,000 for most offences.
If the proposals get the go-ahead, following a consultation, they could be in places as early as October.

Substantive Editor
Tome (United States of America)
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women's rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
Based on UN legislative mandates and UN Women Strategic Programme Plan, the Policy Division undertakes and/or coordinates global or sectoral research and data analysis; advises on norms, policies and strategies for achieving the internationally agreed goals related to gender equality and women's empowerment issues. It acts as a knowledge hub, collecting evidence on progress and emerging issues, identifying trends in implementation of global commitments; and sharing knowledge on innovative approaches and lessons learned in implementation. It designs tools for inter-regional capabilities building and institutional development programmes and fosters strategic substantive partnerships with academia and other UN partners, in close collaboration with the Intergovernmental Support and Strategic Partnership Bureau, the Programme Division and UN Women Training Center (Santo Domingo).
To successfully perform its mission/mandate, the Policy Division is organized into Sections, bringing together technical experts who undertake issues-based research; analyze data on country, regional or global trends; build a knowledge base on policy commitments and their implementation; propose evidence-based options for global policy, norms and standards and for UN Women global programme strategies; and contribute substantive inputs to policy advocacy and technical cooperation programmes.
The Research and Data (R&D) Section in the Policy Division is responsible for leading UN Women's research and data agenda and for positioning UN Women as a global knowledge broker on gender equality and women's empowerment. It produces knowledge products including UN Women flagship publications such as Progress of the World's Women, the World Survey on the Role of Women in Development and the upcoming Gender Equality in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The section also conducts other policy-related search relevant to gender equality and women's rights, and oversees the global flagship programme on gender statistics.
Duties and Responsibilities
This consultancy is for a substantive editor who will form one part of a two-person team as a substantive editor for the 2018 edition of Progress of the World's Women, which will focus on the theme of "Families in a Changing World." The report will answer the question: How can laws, policies and public action support households and families in ways that enable women's rights to resources, bodily integrity and voice? Drawing on positive examples from around the world, the report will outline a comprehensive agenda for public action, by states, civil society - including feminist movements, the media, schools and religious organizations - and the private sector, one that supports diverse families while triggering the kinds of changes in power dynamics, social norms and stereotypes needed for women to enjoy substantive equality. Strengthening gender equality within families is critical to ensure women's rights more broadly (whether within the 'private' or 'public' domain) to resources and income; to bodily integrity; and to voice and agency.
The substantive editor will be responsible for the following:
Take the lead on editing the full report, which will consist of seven chapters, plus an executive summary and a shorter final recommendations chapter. This work includes:
- Developing a set of chapter guidelines to provide the authors with guidance on structure, length, key components (data elements, boxes and figures), referencing and other elements related to the form and structure of the chapters. This should enable greater consistency in format across the chapters, which will be produced by multiple internal/external authors.
- Providing overarching comments on the zero drafts of the chapters, focused on issues of structure, narrative flow, sources and overall direction.
- Providing comments on the first drafts, which along with the feedback from the advisory group, will be a basis for the writing of the second drafts.
- Suggest a comprehensive set of key messages that should head each chapter, summarizing its most salient arguments.
- Once the revised chapters are finalized and peer reviewed, the substantive editor will do a comprehensive edit, with attention to coherence in narrative voice, flow, structure and smooth out any inconsistencies.
- Given that there are a large number of chapters, this work will be divided between two editors, but the lead substantive editor will be responsible for the global edit of the report as a whole.
Draft the executive summary:
- The report will contain an executive summary of approximately 4000 words, which will open the report and highlights its key messages.
- The executive summary will be sent for review internally once drafting is complete. The substantive editor will be responsible for incorporating the feedback from the review process into the final draft.
- This document will also be used as the basis of a separate summary booklet prepared in-house, drawing together the executive summary and recommendations, along with key data elements from the report. The substantive editor will also review this summary booklet for coherence in terms of messaging and structure as well as consistency with the report.
- Demonstrate consistency in upholding and promoting the values of UN Women in actions and decisions, in line with the UN Code of Conduct.
- Demonstrate professional competence and expert knowledge of the pertinent substantive areas of work.
Cultural sensitivity and valuing diversity:
- Demonstrate an appreciation of the multicultural nature of the organization and the diversity of its staff;
- Demonstrate an international outlook, appreciating difference in values and learning from cultural diversity.
Core Competencies:
- Demonstrates and safeguards ethics and integrity;
- Demonstrates ability to work in a multicultural, multi ethnic environment and to maintain effective working relations with people of different national and cultural backgrounds;
- Facilitates and encourages open communication and strives for effective communication;
- Stays composed and positive even in difficult moments, handles tense situations with diplomacy and tact, and has a consistent behaviour towards others;
- Surfaces conflicts and addresses them proactively, acknowledging different feelings and views and directing energy towards a mutually acceptable solution;
- Treats all people fairly without favouritism.
Functional Competencies:
- Ability to think analytically, synthesize and clearly present complex processes and issues to service the information needs of heterogeneous audiences
- Excellent writing skills – ability to write in a structured, lucid and concise manner
- Demonstrated ability in substantively editing development-related publications and/or reports
- Results orientation and commitment to producing high-quality products
- Knowledge of UN Women editorial guidelines and methodologies will be an advantage
- Ability to work under tight deadlines
Required Skills and Experience
- Advanced university degree in development studies, social sciences, political sciences, public administration or related field.
- At least 10 years of international development experience with demonstrated experience in writing and editing international reports;
- Substantive knowledge and expertise in gender equality, social policy, international development, and human rights
- Working language is English;
Fluency in other official UN languages is advantageous but not essential.

Submit Information on this Yacht
Built in 1901 by renowned Swedish engineer Gunnar Mellgren.
A newspaper article from 1902 describes how Ester, during her first season, won the first prize of at least a dozen races.
More than 30 years later she sank southwest of Normanön in Örnsköldsvik archipelago. There she remained at a depth of 52 metres.
Hellgrens research shows that Örnsköldsviks Yacht Club took the boat in 1933 as a gift from the timber merchant Sven Larsson from Gothenburg. After some renovation she sailed through the canal out to the Stockholm archipelago and then up toward Ulvön and Örnsköldsvik Harbour. Her crew described the old hull as "shiny varnished Honduras mahogany" and recall "scrubbing the decks of teak".
The Yacht Club's ambition was that Ester would become a training ship for the juniors but the younger ones were not interested and in 1934 she was sold to a merchant for 1400 crowns.
He participated in sailing with the boat and won a sailing race around Ulvön in June 1937.
One day – unclear when – there was a fire on board on route from Gullviks Bay To Trysunda. According to an interview Per Hellgren made by a now deceased Firefighter, the fire was extinguished when the boat came ashore at Trysunda. But later that day, on the way to Ornskoldsvik, the boat sank at Normanön and a dinghy was used to take the crew to Ottelandet.
"After 80 years on the seabed – on Thursday 25th June, 2015 Ester was salvaged. Per Hellgren in Domsjö has for many years conducted research on the boat in Gullviks Bay. In 2012, Hellgren used sonar to find the place where the sailboat sank. He then applied to the County Administrative Board on the rights to salvage it – and this week has been diving and his salvage personnel have worked around the clock to raise the boat from the ocean floor.
On Wednesday, she could be lifted ten meters, and at lunchtime on Thursday the boat was secured just below the water surface."

What a fascinating look at the life of a polygamist family in Utah! Bill Hendrickson lives with his 3 wives and 7 children in 3 adjoining houses on a residential street somewhere in Utah. He had been thrown out of a polygamist compound in rural Utah where his grandfather was the "prophet," in a coup for power orchestrated by Roman Grant, the new "prophet." His second wife, Nicki, is one of Roman's daughters! Polygamy has been outlawed by the Mormon Church since 1890, so polygamist families must go underground and hide their illegal way of life. The family dynamic between Bill and his 3 wives is fascinating, and constantly changing. Barb, the first wife, is a cancer survivor and wonderful human being and mother. Second wife Nicki is beautiful, younger, and somewhat insecure. She has a shopping addiction which helps her compensate for being second wife. The third and newest wife, Margene, is only in her early 20s and new to life in polygamy. I learned a lot about the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and the FLDS (polygamist group which sprang out of mainstream LDS. The show, which was a tv series on HBO, has the obligatory loads of sex scenes, but despite that, is a very interesting and addictive series. I watched the whole season in 2 days! Highly compelling.

Very worthwhile debut season
Bryant Burnette | Tuscaloosa, AL | 08/05/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"As a big Bill Paxton fan, I was determined to watch "Big Love," and I would not say I was at all disappointed.
The series has been criticized by some for "glorifying" polygamy, but I think some of those critics have missed the point. The show actually takes a very even-handed look at what a polygamist family COULD be like: Paxton's family is far from perfect, but it seems to be held together by the sheer force of his character's love for all three of his wives. Whether or not you think it is practical, feasible, or even moral for one man to genuinely love three women, on this show that's what's going on.
This is balanced by some of the creepier, more cultish aspects of organized polygamy, personified by Harry Dean Stanton in a wonderfully understated villainous turn.
Where the show really shines for me is in the depiction of the extremely complicated relationship Bill's three wives have with each other. They see each other as sisters, as rivals, as friends, as enemies, as servants, as bosses . . . sometimes all within the same scene. These are very deep relationships, and all three of the actresses are very well suited to their roles.
Another fine aspect of the show is the depiction of how difficult it is for this family to keep the fact of their polygamy to themselves, lest they be looked upon as pariahs. It is a difficult task for them, and has great practical and moral implications within their lives, and the lives of their children.
Like most of HBO's original shows, this one works both as terrific entertainment, and as fundamentally sound art TV. Also like most of HBO's shows, this box set is probably a bit more expensive than it ought to be. But the episodes are terrific, and hopefully this will be merely the first season of a long run."
I've Got A Case of Very "Big Like"
K. Harris | Las Vegas, NV | 09/24/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"HBO has crafted another complex, well made show. "Big Love" with it's polygamy background hits DVD as a "hot button" concept show, and as such has achieved the requisite controversy that it was banking on. Well, I'm not particularly shocked and nor will I comment on any political/religious debate. I will review this show as a family drama, which is exactly what it is, albeit with a particularly large and extended family.
The show is extremely successful when dealing with the intricacies of raising three families in the modern world. I particularly enjoyed the details paid to the lifestyles in the home. The juggling, scheduling, jealousies, and secrets are all shown to good effect as the wives attend to the daily logistics of their situation. Home as politics--this is an interesting living arrangement, and one that hasn't been presented dramatically very often before. Throw in kids and in-laws and things can be very messy. But as the wives compete with each other in many regards, they support and love each other as well. The complexity of the relationships in "Big Love" stand as it's greatest achievement.
Some of the other storylines were a bit extravagant. The biggest plot driver involved the polygamist sect that our family had distanced itself from, and yet could not break free of. The power struggle played out here was entertaining, but not always as compelling as normal, everyday life. It was a bit overcooked....while a few lesser storylines were undercooked.
The actors are beyond reproach. Some veterans--Harry Dean Stanton, Mary Kay Place, Bruce Dern and Grace Zabriskie--are all used to good effect. Chloe Sevigny is a delight in perhaps the showiest role. The rest of the cast is solid. But I must make particular mention of Jeanne Tripplehorn. She's been around such a long time, but has never had a better role or performance. It is quiet and understated, but by Season's end--you've come to realize that she's the heart and soul of this family and this show.
I recommend this show as something different and adult. Dramatically, it's a bit inconsistent--but has so much talent behind it, it's definitely worth the time. It has the potential to be GREAT, so I'm looking for season 2. KGHarris, 9/06."
Great for monogamous couples
RaDadIndy | Indianapolis, IN USA | 02/20/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"A number of great strengths of this series:
(1) My only wife loves it.
(2) A common premise with the Sopranos -- a family is trying to live a normal, suburban life while dealing with a huge secret that is anything but normal and suburban. Engaging.
(3) Yes, there is swearing. But the Mormon characters take the swearing seriously and even apologize for it.
(4) The Mormonism also gives an edge to issues like teen sex that, unfortunately, are no big deal in most of the broader society.
(5) Spicy but tasteful treatment of other sexual themes.
(6) Engaging stories about how the characters got where they are, and I love that this part is told slowly and without flashbacks.
(7) An overall tone that is not condescending to religion, and at times quite moving.
(8) Neat characters. Good writing."

Review: Bedbug at The SJT, February 2016
A review of Bedbug at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough by Martin DoveSeeing a play described as a politico-futurological blast, and a necriligous tale which invents a satiric future out of that false dawn, just after the Revolution in Russia, and just before Stalin's terror, might not sound like a great way to spend your birthday afternoon, but Bedbug turned out to be brilliant.
It was so good because the young cast, numbering thirty or so were all talented and enthusiastic. Every one of them performed to a very high standard, and the pace never let up for a second.
With music by Gary Kemp, there were some great songs in this show, which were performed with vigour by the ensemble cast.
The final scene where young Alfie Woodhead sang the closing number was astonishingly good, and as moving as anything I have seen in top class West End productions.
As the brilliant cast took their final bow, I was not the only one in tears. Well done to a tremendous group of gifted teens, who did themselves and the town of Scarborough proud.
Bedbug was directed by Cheryl Govan and was performed in the Round at the SJT on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February

I have not been completely away from hoplites. I am featured on a YouTube channel:
Great discussion!
It's a great resume of your ideas and research on hoplite phalanx!
In my university I was the only student with a experimental approach on warfare!
My teachers where always upset with my fight demonstration in class(lance, helmet, shield in class was a bit scary I think)! Your work on hoplite warfare are, in my opinion, the best basic ideas on the way the ancients Greeks were fighting!
Continue your great work!
From a passionate French Canadian on antique warfare!
Thank you. If you ever have comments or questions, feel free to write them here and discuss them with me and others.
I stumbled onto this fantastic "blogsite" via the equally fascinating "Sparta Reconsidered" site. Your insights into crowd dynamics seem to me exactly what is needed to progess the field of hoplite tactics.
I tried introducing your theories into a such a debate on the Total War Center forums and noticed a quick post by you on that very thread. So I decided to bite the bullet or rather the aspis and ask you directly some questions arising from that online shoving match.
The detractors seem to rely on two arguments against othismos: firstly anyone in the front ranks would be crushed "by those from behind". So they use this argument to get around your points about the unique design of the aspis, i.e. it is not about protecting yourself from the front is about being crushed from behind.
The second point that is used to dismiss othismos as a tactic is to state that the Thebans at Leuctra simply used the massed column tactic that has been a staple down through the centuries. They specifically use this argument to wave away the question of why did the Thebans bother deepening their phalanx if not for increasing pushing power.
Regarding that latter point about the columnn, I think that argument is tautological because rather than explaining the mechanics of the Theban phalanx they merely refer to the "massed column". But surely that begs an obvious question - what, then, are the mechanics of the massed column?
So my questions are (finally!) what prevents a hoplite being crushed from behind and into his aspis? And, secondly, as you allude to in your TWCenter post, is the massed column tactic embued with a "natural" othismos; a passive force that naturally pushes through a thinner line, i.e. there actually is no massed shoving?
Hope that is understandable.
"The second point that is used to dismiss othismos as a tactic is to state that the Thebans at Leuctra simply used the massed column tactic that has been a staple down through the centuries. They specifically use this argument to wave away the question of why did the Thebans bother deepening their phalanx if not for increasing pushing power."
This falls apart when we consider the comparisons they are making in detail. You will often read of comparisons to the massed columns of revolutionary and Napoleonic France. The basic military maxim of getting there the "fastest with the moistest" works great for a Napoleonic column because the lines facing them generally ran away before a bayonette ever touched a single man. These columns were essentially a psychological tactic, aimed at breaking morale.
Imagine if we gave the opposing 3-deep line big shields, and the French powder was wet. A 3-deep line could probably stall that column completely, at which point the rest of the line wraps around the flanks and we have instant Cannae.
Those that write of the unstoppable momentum of French columns, and believe this is a literal physical force, should consider how fast those columns stopped when the English blew the heads off them. The French did not stumble over their dead front ranks and crash through the English- much to Napoleon's chagrin.
"So my questions are (finally!) what prevents a hoplite being crushed from behind and into his aspis?"
The manner in which the shield rim fits across the top of the chest and upper thighs, both of which cannot be compressed. If you pushed with your hands on the hoplite's lower back, you could force him to bow into the shield, but the pressure on his back is from the broad shield-face behind him, not a point source like a hand. Remember that this is not bone crushing force, but a compression that does not allow you to inflate your lungs by moving your diaphragm. It does not take much force. This is how pythons kill by the way, not actually squeezing or crushing, but simply ratcheting down around the body as you exhale and not allowing an inhalation.
"And, secondly, as you allude to in your TWCenter post, is the massed column tactic embued with a "natural" othismos; a passive force that naturally pushes through a thinner line, i.e. there actually is no massed shoving?"
Not sure what you mean by 'passive', but the force of a crowd can be self-organized, meaning it need not be a conscious tactic or organized forward shove. If you give a crowd of men a shared direction of movement, this could be towards the stage at a rock concert, out a doorway, or towards and enemy phalanx, then they will generate crushing force in that direction.
I know that many have not had access to the article I wrote for Ancient Warfare on the mechanics of hoplite battle, so I am going to post some of that information here. It is my swan song on the topic, and hopefully will be taken up by others.
As to the point of the Theban phalanx being just a marching column that brought men against the enemy rapidly, we actually have an example of the fiasco that can be from the Spartans:
Xenophon, Hellenic 7:
. [22] Then Archidamus, espying a hill over which the Arcadians had carried their outer stockade, came to the conclusion that he could capture it, and that if he became master of this hill, the besiegers at its foot would not be able to hold their position. Now while he was leading the way to this place by a roundabout route, as soon as the peltasts who were running on ahead of Archidamus caught sight of the Epariti71 outside the stockade, they attacked them, and the cavalry endeavoured to join in the attack. The enemy, however, did not give way, but forming themselves into a compact body, remained quiet. Then the Lacedaemonians attacked again. The enemy did not give way even then, but on the contrary proceeded to advance, and by this time there was a deal of shouting; Archidamus himself thereupon came to the rescue, turning off along the wagon road which runs to Cromnus and leading his men in double file, just as he chanced to have them formed.
(Here the king brings up a marching column in a column of hoplites side by side, which could move much more rapidly that a deployed phalanx. As we will see, if the enemy does not run away, you actually have to deploy and fight! Not something that even Spartans could do well once engaged)
[23] Now as soon as the two forces had come near to one another, the troops of Archidamus in column, since they were marching along a road, and the Arcadians massed together in close order, at this juncture the Lacedaemonians were no longer able to hold out against the superior weight of the Arcadians, but Archidamus speedily received a wound straight through his thigh and speedily those who fought in front of him kept falling, among them Polyaenidas and Chilon, who was married to the sister of Archidamus; and the whole number of them who fell at that time was not less than thirty. [24] But when the Lacedaemonians as they retired along the road came out into open ground, they immediately formed themselves in line of battle against the enemy. The Arcadians on their side stood in close order, just as they were, and while inferior in numbers, they were in better spirits by far, since they had attacked a foe who retreated and had killed men. The Lacedaemonians, on the other hand, were exceedingly despondent, for they saw that Archidamus was wounded and they had heard the names of the dead, who were not only brave men but well nigh their most distinguished.
Well, personally I love the addition of "crowd dynamics" applied to Hoplite tactics. And that particular issue of Ancient Warfare is on my wishlist.
Many thanks for taking thet time to answer my opaque questions but it does take me time to absorb knowledge. On a gut level, I think your ideas are right.
Yes, hopefully some of us will continue to pursue this fruiful avenue of research. I wish you well in your research and hope nothing bad has hollowed out your enthusiasm for Lakedaimon.

Plan for enough days to find two wonderful Theme Parks – Disney California Adventure Park that includes the 12-acre Cars Land and the one-and-only original Disneyland Park with its world-famous attractions and beloved Disney Characters. So far I've used my RTW tickets to go to Pakistan, Uganda, Bulgaria, Easter Island, Iraq… and the listing goes on and on. They are more likely to pay a premium for the comfort of going soon, so there's little incentive for airways to discount these tickets either. You can go browsing to our website at or contact us on cellphone or via e-mail to know a budget air tickets rates for their single or roundtrip air travel in India. Specialist Agencies: Many of those companies are consolidators who can piece together point-to-point one-approach tickets that undercut the lowest economic system fares from the airline alliances.
This means you could fly from Australia to New York after which New York to Los Angeles but couldn't go from Los Angeles back to Australia. After ten years of journey and near 500 flights, I've experienced a number of situations when these tickets have been your best option – and once they weren't.
In the end, although, there is no definitive answer as to whether or not you should buy certainly one of these tickets. My guess is that the 11 weeks number for international tickets contains largely flights to Europe plus many to the Caribbean, so I'd think that the 6 months figure particularly for South America might be more correct. These tickets are bought through airline alliances and businesses that specialize in round-the-world journey, and so they can help you get monetary savings and organize your itinerary. However, the lower cost tickets are normally not refundable and will carry many additional restrictions.
So the most affordable time to purchase on a low-cost airline is NOW (or as soon as tickets go on sale, which is usually 11 months out). Savings as much as 70% are calculated from an unrestricted printed airfare of main scheduled airways generally often called refundable tickets. Our flight tickets from Singapore to Hong Kong, Singapore to Langkawi and even Malaysia to Thailand are the most affordable in town!
I'm not sure I fully perceive the query, but I'll take a shot at it. There are not any nonstop flights between Miami and Keflavík International Airport as of late, and I don't see any from Atlanta into Iceland either. For instance, XL Airways flies from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami to Paris for a lot less than better-recognized airways. If you're planning on traveling with the entire family in tow, Surry recommends buying tickets more than a month prematurely for the perfect costs and availability. As of now I see flights for these dates on American Airlines beginning at US$1,273, however they require two airplane changes. The tickets aren't especially low-cost (see below for a price outline), however a well-optimized ticket can present worth far past what it might cost to in any other case buy round-journey tickets.

Pattern and categorisation of neurosurgical emergencies
Dilip K Kulkarni
Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Correspondence Address:Dr. Dilip K KulkarniDepartment of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad - 500 038, Telangana IndiaSource of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: NoneCheckDOI: 10.4103/2348-0548.199941
Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None
Usually most of the neurosurgical emergencies have to be operated within 24 hours to 72 hours for better outcome in patient point of view. Depending upon the pattern of neurosurgical conditions, if we categorise these emergency surgeries, taking into consideration the priority of performing the operations the mortality and morbidity will reduce. This will help in better usage of operating room time (OR Time), hospital resources and at the same time not affecting the elective surgical operations.

Flashpoint Miniatures has two blisters of civilians in their range – Villagers and Farmers. Both packs seemed interesting, so I grabbed both of them at the time I've placed my order. Now that both U.S. and Local VC minis are painted, it's time to paint some VC locals.
First up, the blister called Vietnamese Farmers – a very nice and useful set indeed. It consists of eleven minis in very useful poses as well as two-wheel wheelbarrow, a buffalo and a little piglet. Sculpts are simple, but clean. I am quite pleased with this set, it will be very useful for 'Charlie Don't Surf' ruleset I intend to use in my games and which uses civilians as an inherent part of scenarios.

A little birdie lesson
Why this bird is called a yellow backed.
It looks like it has black wings or black tail. Why is it said to have a yellow hood and not a black face?
The answer is Orioles are a black bird with yellow and not a yellow bird with black.

Years ago, I read one or two short stories by Sherman Alexie, and I had seen the movie based on some of his short stories, Smoke Signals. I have heard him interviewed on radio and television, but I have never read one of his novels. When I heard that he won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature this year, I was excited for two reasons. First, I actually knew the author of a book that I might want to purchase for my school's library collection. Second, I remember enjoying the stories and the film and enjoying his interviews--he seemed like an affable, funny guy.
The whole time I was reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian I kept thinking about Whitman's "Song of Myself." (I'm sure some smarter critic has already pointed out the similarities, but I can't find evidence of it online.) At first I thought the similarity was just a physical similarity--the printed pages looked like some (much?) of Whitman's poem: The short, sometimes only one sentence, paragraphs and the use of cataloging, parallel structure, and repetition. After I finished reading the novel, I thought more about the thematic similarities, and I kept trying to remember Whitman's line with "barbaric yawp" in it. The next morning at work after I finished the novel , I pulled a book of Whitman's poems off the shelf--ah! the joys of working in a library. I browsed through "Song of Myself" to find the line, which is in the final part. I read through this part of the poem several times, and I really think that the whole part sounds like Arnold Spirit, Alexie's protagonist.
"The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me....he(I wish that I knew Ginsberg's Howl better, and I might be able to make some connections between it and this book too. I know that Howl has been much compared to Whitman's "Song of Myself. " I could go into a detailed comparative analysis here, but since I'm not an English teacher or student right now, I'm not. Plus, it would bore and/or scare off my few remaining readers, and I wouldn't want to do that. )
complains of my gab and my loitering.
I too am not a bit tamed....I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
The last scud of day holds back for me,
It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the
shadowed wilds,
It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk.
I depart as air....I shake my white locks at the runaway
I effuse my flesh in eddies and drift it in lacy jags.
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at the first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop some where waiting for you."
Arnold Spirit is this boy who has so much bad in his life that it would be easy to accept him giving up and settling for a life of too little everything except bad. Instead, he strikes out on his own and succeeds, but not without struggle and not without the help of family and friends along the way. Wow! What a trite summary. I promise this novel is not trite!
I think this novel tells a great American story. And you have to love a book with a character who compares the joy of reading a good book with getting a boner. :-)

My name is Saeeda. I was born in a Peshawar refugee camp where I attended an Afghan school for refugees. My family had a hard life there and eventually moved to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban regime. My hometown is called Dar-e-Noor, which is a very poor area northeast of Jalalabad.
I first joined an AFCECO orphanage in Jalalabad, and after the orphanage closed down I moved to an orphanage in Kabul. I graduated from high school in early 2015 and started working, just like other AFCECO university students. I now work in AFCECO's finance department as an accountant.
I like to study Pashto literature, which is a two year degree program. I also like playing football and am the goal keeper in AFCECO's girl football team. In that role I won several awards in different tournaments and competitions with other teams across Kabul.
Saeeda works as Accountant Officer in the finance office. She is enrolled at the Sayed Jamaldin University and studies Pashto literature.

At least that's the message of Ron Paul's latest attack ad.
The Paul-approved ad in the style of a retro action-hero film was uploaded to YouTube on Monday.
Paul, a Houston-area congressman, criticizes the former Pennsylvania senator — now surging to the lead in GOP presidential polls — for his role in raising the debt ceiling under President Bush, massively increasing spending at the federal Department of Education, expanding entitlements, and voting for legislation that both supported foreign dictators and funded Planned Parenthood.
As you watch the video, notice the fine print on the bottom of the video. It gives specific actions that support the larger claims.

(AXIATA opening stock price today (24.5.2012) was RM 5.44)
*Idea Cellular closed at 75 rupees yesterday.
Axiata Group Bhd said there is no need for the company to make further impairment charges on Idea Cellular Ltd for now, even though its investment's market value has shrunk by about one-third.
However, it does not discount the possibility of a further impairment in the future, depending on how the India telecommunications industry progresses.
Axiata, via a merger between Idea Cellular and Spice Telecoms in 2008, acquired 19 per cent stake in Idea Cellular for about 143 rupees (RM8.03) a share in 2008.
Unfortunately, Idea's share price has been on a declining trend since the merger.
Last year, Axiata decided to book a RM1.1 billion impairment on Idea. Post impairment, Axiata's 19 per cent stake in Idea is now valued at about 120 rupees (RM6.73) a share.
For the past 12 months, Idea shares have been trading at an average of about 90 rupees a share and for the past four weeks, Idea shares were traded at about 80 rupees a share.
"For now, there's no need for further impairments, but we will continue to evaluate periodically.
"When we evaluate, it's not over a short-term basis, it's a long-term basis where we look at the whole prospect of the company and industry," said president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Jamaludin Ibrahim after the company's annual general meeting yesterday.
Some Indian mobile operators have written off part of their investments after the country's Supreme Court order to cancel 122 mobile permits in February this year.
Among the biggest "casualties" was Uninor - a company majority controlled by Norwegian firm Telenor ASA. Uninor has lost all its telecom licences as a result of the Supreme Court's decision.
As a result, Telenor has reported a 79 per cent fall in its first quarter net profit at 583 million kroner, due to a 3.9 billion kroner (RM2.14 billion) write-off.
UAE-based Etisalat Group also announced that it will write off about US$820 million (RM2.57 billion), as part losses incurred from its India operations.
On how Axiata plan to utilise its cash pile, the company said it is expected to use part of the cash to reduce borrowings that are incurring higher interest rates, and will continue to be prudent on how it spends the money.

It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to turn on the Moderation option on the Haloscan comments forum. This will unnecessarily slow things down, but the discussion was getting ridiculous. For the moment, I'll moderate the thing myself, but if anyone else would like to volunteer to help me (Torres?) that would be great.
I hate the idea of having to post explicit rules on these things, common sense ought to be enough. Obviously it isn't, so here are the rules.
The Rules
The moderator(s) have the right, but not the obligation, to edit or delete:
- – Posts that are defamatory, libelous, obscene, abusive, harassing, threatening, off-topic, unintelligible, or unnecessarily antagonistic, or in any other way inappropriate, as determined exclusively by the moderator(s).
- – Posts which are submitted repetitively, without bearing on the discussion topic, or otherwise deliberately disrupt the forum.
- – Posts which attack or insult another forum user or the moderator(s), or their families.
The moderator(s) will strive to make decisions on which topics to post on the basis of relevance and civility rather than ideology.

The Treatment Mind Game: How to Feel Better During ChemotherapyTreatment // October 28, 2015
When fighting a battle against cancer, finding ways to feel uplifted and motivated to move forward is crucial. While treatment is meant to create a path towards healing, the actual process and resulting side effects can be painful and emotionally difficult to manage. For example, chemotherapy often causes nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and depression.
Many options for managing these side effects focus on the body and lessening physical discomfort. However, during this journey, believing in the power of the mind and the thoughts you have can also really make a difference. Here are some ways to help manage the emotional toll treatment can take.
Positive Post-Its
Staying positive can sometimes feel like an insurmountable task. To help shift your mindset towards the self-supportive end, surround yourself with positive affirmations and behaviors. This includes the people you allow around you. Take some notes from this Do Great campaign and share it with your loved ones. Keep a gratitude journal and read it often. Try putting sticky notes all around your house that say things like, "you will get better, you will do great."
Breathe Better
Rather than trying to meditate, which can quickly become a frustrating and counterintuitive chore, spend some time with your breath. This subconscious process can be used as a tool against feelings of anxiety and also bouts of nausea. Look around and see what kinds of breathing exercises seem to help you. Try counting your breath, or simply breathing deeply and focusing on or visualizing those physical sensations.
Similarly, when having a treatment, visualize the chemo killing the bad cells. Visualize your body healing.
Uncensor Yourself
To say you're going to feel a lot of different things on your treatment journey is an understatement. Feelings of guilt may trick you into a mode of suffering in silence. Don't. Staying positive is important, yes, but so is allowing yourself to be in a bad mood. You're going to want to cry, yell, scream. Let yourself, then move on.
Read Stuff Not About Cancer
It's easy to find yourself constantly in a cancer-this-cancer-that rabbit hole. It's important to know what it is you need to, but beyond that, pull yourself out of the hole and read other things you enjoy. Perhaps a magazine, a comic, an old favorite book, or a new one you've been meaning to check out. Take the opportunity to get away from the computer screen and visit your local library. If it's nearby, opt for the walk.
Find Your Funny Bone
Don't underestimate the power of laughter. Know someone who can always make you laugh? Invite them over. Have a favorite comedy show? Set up a Netflix binge. Do the same for things you find beautiful, and for things that make you feel good about yourself. Seek out the good.
Look To Your Superheros
Who do you admire? This could be an author, a celebrity, a friend. Chances are, they have some pretty great things to say that you'll believe in. Write them down or recite them in your head. Some cited favorites of cancer survivors include:
"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." – Eleanor Roosevelt
"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow." – Mary Anne Radmacher
"When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." – Franklin D. Roosevelt
Also, become your own superhero. Walk like the warrior you are and soon you'll believe it.

Variety reports:
Universal Pictures will scare up a new version of its horror classic "The Wolf Man," with Benicio Del Toro playing the title role.
"Seven" scribe Andrew Kevin Walker has begun writing the script. Scott Stuber, Rick Yorn, Mary Parent and Del Toro will produce.
The studio owned the underlying rights to the character.
Like the 1941 original that starred Lon Chaney Jr., new pic will be set in Victorian England. Del Toro will play a man who returns from America to his ancestral homeland, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence.
Deal came out of a series of meetings with the producers, Walker and Del Toro, who collects Wolf Man memorabilia.
Walker spent several months working on some frightening new twists to a familiar tale, adding several characters and plot points that take advantage of cutting-edge visual effects technology.
Walker will turn in his first draft by the spring, and the producers and studio are optimistic that "The Wolf Man" will shoot early in 2007, after Del Toro completes "Guerrilla," the Che Guevara film being directed by Steven Soderbergh.
The expectation is that "The Wolf Man" will be a summer 2008 tentpole.
The pic will be supervised by production president Donna Langley and exec veep Peter Cramer.
Stuber and Parent, the former vice chairmen who moved into a producing deal with U, get their first company credit with the June 2 opening of the Vince Vaughn/Jennifer Aniston comedy "The Break-Up." The company follows with the Owen Wilson/Kate Hudson starrer "You, Me and Dupree" opening July 14, and production begins in June on "The Kingdom," the Peter Berg-directed Jamie Foxx starrer Stuber and Parent are producing with Michael Mann.

We have solar rechargeable 1.2V Ni-CD, Ni-MH and 3.2V batteries for solar lights available in various mAh capacities, including the 3.2 Volt Gama Sonic lamp posts and Atlantic Solar post caps.
The Gama Sonic replacement battery packs are made for specific Gama Sonic products. Please read each product to determine if it is the correct Gama Sonic rechargeable battery for your solar lantern.
We believe it's wise to replace a 1.2 Volt Ni-CD with a Ni-CD, or a Ni-MH with a Ni-MH solar rechargeable battery to match the circuitry used in the original solar powered light. Ni-MH will definitely work in Ni-CD lighting, but it seems to cut down on the battery life from our experience, often only lasting a few months.
A 3.2 Volt Lithium Ion solar light battery must always be replaced with a 3.2V Lithium Ion battery. The circuitry for a 1.2V vs. a 3.2V is completely different, and is not interchangeable.
The mAh number, which is the maximum amount of charge the battery can hold during one full sunny day, can be increased on any type of Battery (not including the Gama Sonic solar lamp post lights) without causing any damage.
We are asked by customers constantly "can I use regular batteries in solar lights?". The answer is Yes and No, and we advise the No. Alkaline batteries have a built-in charge that will last until it is depleted, whether that's for a week or for months. There is no way to recharge it unless you remove it from the light, bring it indoors and charge it with an electric battery charger. So you can use these only for a short time period, until you can purchase the correct solar light batteries. Using alkaline batteries may harm your solar light circuitry over time, and the light will stop working.
Ni-CD, Ni-MH and Lithium Ion solar batteries are designed to charge and discharge daily using solar power, not electricity. Every day the battery is charged from the sun's energy that the solar panel captures, and every night the battery's energy is discharged by lighting the solar lanterns or garden lights. Rather than a predetermined amount of charge like an Alkaline battery has, these batteries have a maximum number of times it can charge and discharge, which generally is between 2 and 3 years.

Dr. Jerry Cook, author of Grow Your Marriage by Leaps and Boundaries, wasreferencedby the Wall Street Journal. In the article called, "Delicate Art of Pushing Back," Dr. Cook was asked how to maintain healthy relationships. Dr. Cook's Response is down below.
Start with the positive, says Jerry Cook, associate professor at California State University, Sacramento, and author of the book "Grow Your Marriage by Leaps and Boundaries." He suggests saying, "Our relationship means the world to me. But what you said bothers me, and I want to make sure that doesn't happen again because I value our relationship."
If you are the one told to back off and respect boundaries, ask yourself a question and answer honestly: Were you acting out of concern, or were you trying to fulfill some unmet need of your own? Dr. Cook says you will need to tell yourself, "This relationship is important to me, so it's OK if my feelings are hurt when we talk about this. I want to get this right."
Generational expectations often differ because ideas about boundaries change over time. Behavior that is appropriate between parents and small children will change as the children grow.
We sometimes invite others to step into our business by disclosing too much information, or expecting too much sympathy or advice. It's best not to share marital woes too openly unless you want lots of meddling""or some serious backlash against your life partner. And have you ever told an adult sibling how much you make for a living? Enough said.
