Did You Miss Nowruz? Me, Too
Did You Miss Nowruz? Me, Too Wouldn't it be great if a holiday existed to promote values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families? To my surprise — and perhaps yours — such a holiday does exist, and you might have missed it. I know I did. It's Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which takes place on the day of the vernal equinox (the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere), March 20 this year. According to a CNN article, Nowruz is celebrated by millio
March 14: Celebrating Butterflies, Potato Chips, Pi and Popcorn
March 14: Celebrating Butterflies, Potato Chips, Pi and Popcorn This might be hard to fathom, but there are holidays — sometimes more than one — for just about every day of the year. While they're not in the same category as holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Halloween, etc., these occasions are being celebrated by someone, somewhere, and if you're so inclined, you can join the fun. March 14 is a Thursday this year, and for most of us, it will be just ano

Almost immediately after leaving Westeros forever, 1. Elio and Linda agree that this is a highly unusual situation with no clear solution.
The film adaptation did not happen, but they stayed in touch, and when DeGuere became the producer for the revival of The Twilight ZoneMartin was offered a job as a writer. Did he lose a leg, or something like that. Critic Don D'Amassa has praised Fevre Dream for its strong 19th century atmosphere and wrote: "This is without question one of the greatest vampire novels of all time".
He has two younger sisters, Darleen and Janet.So in the entire time that "Game of Thrones" has been on air, Martin has yet to complete his next book. The unexpected commercial failure of The Armageddon Rag "essentially destroyed my career as a novelist at the time", he recalled. Gaiman later went on to state that writers are not machines and that they have every right to work on other projects if they want to. Martin achieved first". After the CBS series was cancelled, Martin migrated over to the already-underway satirical science fiction series Max Headroom. This story has a strong sense of melancholy. What happened after the battle? In fact, author Andrew Shaffer is dreading it. Shortly after Barack Obama and Joe Biden left the White House, amidst all the sadness and hopelessness that was plaguing Hillary Clinton voters, Shaffer and Quirk Books published the presidential fanfiction Hope Never Dies , an adventure buddy comedy that reunites the President and his VP for a rolicking, Amtrak-inspired thriller. That same year the enormous success of Star Wars had a huge impact on the publishing industry and science fiction, and he sold the novel for the same amount he would make in three years of teaching. He resigned from his job, and being tired of the hard winters in Dubuque, he moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up.
Many people also go out of their way to take care of me at restaurants and movie theatres etc. His mother was of half Irish ancestry.
But Martin is also an author who writes at his own pace and has a self-admitted history of issues with deadlines. I do, however, have some strong notions as to the overall structure of the story I'm telling, and the eventual fate of many of the principle characters in the drama.
He was interested, but was too occupied with the writing of his next book, the never-completed novel Black and White and Red All Over, which occupied most of his writing time the same year.
Maybe that was the right decision.
When you eliminate all those subplots, you simplify things and bring it to an end where it is. I think we have a better idea of what those other prequel series may be about.
Martin persuaded Guthridge who later said that at that time he despised science fiction and fantasy not only to give speculative fiction a second look, but to write in the field himself.

After a rigorous selection process, 10 'Impactors' will be selected to take part in the eight-month incubation program, to develop their product, business and leadership skills
The Toru Institute of Inclusive Innovation has launched the 'Impactor' program for entrepreneurs in the early stages of projects.
The Impactor program is an eight-month business incubation program for entrepreneurs who want to transform the early stages of their idea, product or business into a successful enterprise with a social impact.
The launch of the program was announced at a press conference at the Lakeshore Hotel in Gulshan on Monday.
Toru founder Saif Kamal delivered the welcome speech at the event, which was followed by a video presentation on the Impactor program.
Other attendees included Annisul Huq Foundation Chair Rubana Huq; Standard Chartered Bank Head of Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing, Bitopi Das Chowdhury, Dean of School of Business and Economics, NSU, Dr Mohammad Mahboob Rahman and IPDC Finance Limited Managing Director and CEO Mominul Islam.
Addressing the event, Rubana Huq said: "Talented young people in our country are scattered. We have been unable to stand beside them and develop their talent. We have failed to show the youngsters our dreams. But where we have failed, the young people will succeed."
Recalling late DNCC mayor Annisul Haque, she added that she could see his reflection in the youths of the country. "Many more people like him (Annisul) have to come forward to bring about social change," she said.
Bitopi Das Chowdhury said Standard Chartered is always there for new entrepreneurs. "We have cooperated with them to help with their ideas and give advice, and not just provided financing," he said.
Saif Kamal said the program will be the first of its kind in Bangladesh.
"We have always had accelerator programs or competitions, but ideas need extensive and long-term support in order to become impactful enterprises," he said.
"With the Impactor program, we will provide individually tailored roadmaps and milestones for entrepreneurs, which will be supported by experts and mentors. Our assistance will range from help with product design to business, legal and investment support."
The application period for the Impactor program opened on Monday and will run until October 31. Prospective applicants can apply online at http://impactor.toruinstitute.com/apply/.
After a rigorous selection process, 10 "Impactors" will be selected to take part in the eight-month incubation program, to develop their product, business and leadership skills.
The selected participants will receive mentoring, up to Tk10lakh in seed funding, and a workspace from Startup Bangladesh, at the Ministry of Information Communication and Technology, Bangladesh.
The program is supported by Standard Chartered Bank, Microsoft Bangladesh, IPDC, the Annisul Huq Foundation, Startup Bangladesh and North South University.

The Capital District's Lost Broadcaster: W47A/WBCA
In 1940, to foster the growth of Armstrong's new FM radio system, the FCC took the frequencies belonging to TV's Channel 1 and assigned them to FM broadcasting (Channel 1 was moved to another frequency band). Schenectadian Leonard L. Asch, a GE employee, filed an application to open a new FM station. On July 17, 1941, W47A took to the air from a transmitter site in the Helderbergs, claiming to be America's first commercial FM station unaffiliated with any broadcast interest. Its schedule was a mishmash of classical music, relays from other stations in John Shepherd's "Yankee Network," and soon, war-effort programs and network programs from the Mutual Broadcasting System.
By 1944, it moved studios from the remote transmitter site to an office at 408 State Street in Schenectady, and changed call letters to WBCA, now operated by Asch's Patroon Broadcasting.
Meanwhile, a battle commenced between RCA chairman David Sarnoff and FM inventor Edwin Armstrong (a fascinating story ending in Armstrong's suicide). To protect its established NBC radio network and foster its television patents, RCA fought to reclaim the new FM spectrum for television broadcasting. Bending to Sarnoff's pressure, in 1945 the FCC reallocated the FM band from 42-50MHz (a band where signals carry relatively long distances) to 88-108 MHz (where they do not) , with a mandate for all existing FM stations to vacate the lower band by 1948. This immediately rendered every FM receiver and transmitter in use obsolete.
Having lost over $120,000 since beginning operations, and faced with the expense of starting anew on the high band, Asch quietly pulled the plug on WBCA in late 1947. Asch and Patroon Broadcasting filed an application for a new, high-power AM and TV station combination, WPTR. The TV permit was denied, but the AM station hits the airwaves in 1948.
Dealt a crippling blow, FM broadcasting limped into the 1950's, nearly forgotten, a niche service serving a loyal but tiny core of "fine music" devotees; it would not become profitable until the mid 1970's. W47A, however, remains a part of FM history.

By their own accounts, they were beaten with electric cables and punched so hard their teeth fell out. They were hung upside down by their ankles, threatened with suffocation, and jolted with electric shocks. Their trip through the blood-spattered interrogation cells of Afghanistan has reduced some of them to broken husks.
Shocking? I think not. Nothing could be less surprising than the revelation that the Afghan secret police practise routine torture - even on prisoners lucky enough to be captured by the kind, conscientious, Geneva Conventions-compliant Canadian Forces. Just where did we think we were sending them? Summer camp?
For the past year, many of our political and military leaders have been strenuously denying that any of "our" detainees in Afghanistan have been mistreated. No doubt they sincerely believed it. But now, they look both willfully misinformed and hopelessly naive. And with good reason. Anyone who thinks it's possible for Canadians to police Kandahar's dungeons has to be delusional.
The prisoners' dilemma, as you might call it, is an unavoidable moral consequence of this war. The trouble is that under the Geneva Conventions, we're not just responsible for prisoners when they're under our control. We're responsible for them forever. We round 'em up, we own 'em. So how are we supposed to ensure their well-being? Build our own Canadian-run jails? Set up special courts to sort out the bomb-makers from the innocent bystanders? Or turn them over to our ally, who, it turns out, forgot to read that chapter in the interrogation manual about how torture doesn't always work so well?
The only solution is to refuse to capture anyone. Now there's an idea. Let the Afghans capture them! No, wait. They can't. Isn't that why we're there in the first place?
And so we came up with another solution. We'd ask for lots of guarantees from very high-up people - and then we'd contract out the oversight. Yeah. That'll work. Only maybe not so much in a place where the police and judiciary are corrupt, where there's no chain of command and no accountability, where the local human-rights commission is a joke, and where the notion that prisoners have any rights at all is, perhaps, not widely shared.
The Geneva Conventions are a noble ideal. But they are seldom observed in dirty terror wars, even by progressive Western nations that pay them lip service. Ask the Americans. Better still, ask the French. Ask anyone whose national security is at stake, and has enemy fighters in custody who might know where the next bomb is planted.
I have deep sympathy for our military leaders, who genuinely want to do the right thing. But they're trapped in a lose-lose situation. They can fight a war. Or they can babysit "our" detainees to ensure that our allies don't abuse their human rights. I don't think they have the resources to do both. Maybe they can tattoo a maple leaf on the guys they round up so the secret police will know to torture someone else.
Canada's Afghan war will be won or lost here, at home, in the court of public opinion. So far, our efforts have been getting the benefit of the doubt. And I think most Canadians will draw a sharp moral distinction between the abuse of Afghan prisoners by Afghans (regrettable, but what else can you expect?) and the abuse of prisoners by us (unconscionable). Still, the tales of detainee torture are a PR disaster, because they suggest the brass are either covering up or don't know what's going on. Even worse, they highlight the two questions that are so hard to answer: Why are we there? And can we win?
Both Vietnam and Iraq turned into political losers for the United States because there were no good answers to those questions. Afghanistan, I think, will prove to be the same. The social-worker explanation (we're there to nation-build) is the one that Canadians find most resonant. But it will be increasingly hard to defend as evidence mounts that the goal is unattainable.
Here's another problem. When it comes to what we think of as human rights, many of the so-called good guys we're fighting for are not so very different from the bad guys we're fighting against. They tortured people long before we got there, and they'll probably torture people long after we're gone. The question is not whether we can help them build a fair and just society. The question is whether they want one. Meantime, our other allies - the ones in NATO - have no taste for this fight. Without them, our forces are too small to make a difference. And as time wears on, we'll feel as if all the blood and treasure we've spent is like so much water poured into the desert.
The prisoners' dilemma
The mistreatment of detainees is an unavoidable moral consequence of this war

Refresh me toner
Five stars love the toner!
Love this especially when I'm running around and just need a refresher
Moisture- refresh
I use this spray on my arm and it makes my tattoos look great! Refreshes color and makes my skin feel great!
New to Product. OK so far
It's OK so far. The directions on the package states one long spray, but the pump doesn't long-spray; only short spray. So I do a few short sprays. I was expecting it to dry a little quicker.
I love it
This stuff is a new favorite. It feels good, smells good, and keeps my skin looking good. I take it with me when I go to the pool or beach to spray on after swimming. I love it!

Spain v Council of the European Union against the European Regulations implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the creation of Unitary Patent protection:
The Advocate General's opinion
In 2011 Spain and Italy, in a first attempt to challenge the Unitary Patent, had sought annulment of the Council's decision of March 2011 which authorised enhanced cooperation and therefore allowed the creation of the Unitary Patent package. Both countries submitted that Article 118 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union did not provide the appropriate legal basis for the Council's decision. The CJEU dismissed their actions in April 2013. Following this judgment, Italy decided to sign the Unified Patent Court Agreement, whereas Spain filed in May 2013 actions against Regulation (EU) N° 1527/2012 on the creation of a Unitary Patent protection and Regulation N° 1260/2012 on translation arrangements which directly resulted from the use of the enhanced cooperation.
Spain sought an order declaring "legally non-existent Regulation (EU) N°1257/2012 of the European Parliament and if the Council of 17 December 2012 implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the creation of unitary patent protection and in the alternative, annul that regulation in its entirety." In case this request was rejected, Spain also asked the court to annul "Article 9(1) in its entirety, and article 9(2) (…) article 18(2) in its entirety and all references in Regulation N°1257/2012 to the Unified Patent Court as the judicial regime for the European Patent with Unitary Effect and as the source of law for the European Patent with Unitary Effect".
Spain's pleas were as follow:
"Breach of the values of the rule of law in so far as a regulation has been established on the basis of a right granted by the European Patent Office, whose acts are not subject to judicial review.
Non-existence of an act of the European Union and, in the alternative, lack of a legal basis for Regulation N°1527/2012 in that it does not introduce measures guaranteeing the uniform protection envisaged in article 118TFEU.
Misuse of power through the use of enhanced cooperation for purposes other than those provided for in the Treaties.
Infringement of Article 291(2) TFEU and, in the alternative, misapplication of the Meroni case law in the regulation of the system for setting renewal fees and for determining the "share of distribution" of those fees.
Misapplication of the Meroni case law in the delegation to the European Patent Office of certain administrative tasks relating to the European patent with unitary effect.
Breach of the principles of autonomy an uniformity in the application of the European Union law, as regards the rules governing the entry into force of Regulation N°1257/2012."
The Advocate General responded to Spain on 18 November 2014 and proposed that the Court of Justice of the European Union dismisses Spain's challenge to Unitary Patent Regulations. Yves Bot argues that:
Regarding the creation of the Unitary Patent protection:
- The EU Regulation 1257/2012 "only attributes to European patents an additional characteristic, namely the unitary protection, without affecting the procedure regulated by the Convention (on the grant of European Patent) The protection conferred is regulated by the uniform implementation provisions of the regulation. That protection brings real benefit in terms of uniformity and hence of integration compared with the situation resulting from the implementation of the rules laid down by the Convention".
- The EU Member States drafted the EU Regulation with the intention that the EU's legislature would be shared with the Member States, enabling it to make references to national laws. The Unitary Patent will guarantee a uniform protection through national legislation applied to European Patent which will then be implemented "throughout the territory of the Member States participating in the enhanced cooperation."
Concerning the renewal fees:
- Yves Bot considers that the power to set the renewal level can only be exercised within a predetermined legislative framework "established and clarified by the EU legislature".
As regard Spain's claim that the regulation provides for a specific judicial regime for the European Patent with Unitary Effect contained in the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court:
- The Advocate General takes the view that the Court does not have jurisdiction to review the content of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court in an action for annulment of the regulation.
- The Agreement on a Unified Patent Court does not fall within any of the categories of acts the lawfulness of which is subject to judicial review by the European Court of Justice. In fact it is an intergovernmental agreement negotiated and signed only by certain Member States on the basis of international law and the EU Regulation 1257/2012 does not approve an international agreement but is intended to implement enhanced cooperation in the area of creation of unitary patent protection.
Regarding Spain's claim that "the application of the regulation is absolutely dependent on the entry into force of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court, and that the effectiveness of the power exercised by the European Union through the contested regulation thus depends on the will of the Member States which are party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court":
- The Advocate General highlights that it will be the role of the Unified Patent Court to ensure "the proper functioning of the European patent with unitary effect, consistency of case-law and hence legal certainty". EU Regulation 1257/2012 is thus not at the mercy of willing Member States.
Concerning Spain's refusal to ratify the Unified Patent Court Agreement:
- The Advocate General is keen to emphasize that it is an infringement of the principle of sincere cooperation. By not ratifying the UPCA, Member States are "jeopardising the attainment of the Union's harmonisation and uniform protection objectives"
- Yves Bot also notes that "the principle of sincere cooperation requires the participating Member States to take all appropriate measures to implement enhanced cooperation, including ratification of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court, as such ratification is necessary for its implementation."
Language arrangements and Breach of equality:
- There is no principle of equality of language, therefore the choice of the English, French and German language "pursues a legitimate objective and is appropriate and proportionate". Hence, if "the language arrangements chosen do certainly entail a curtailment of the use of languages, they pursue a legitimate objective of reducing translation costs."
- The purpose of having only three official languages derives from the fact that "the system introduced is aimed at ensuring unitary patent protection throughout the territory of the participating Member States whilst avoiding excessively high costs by establishing the language arrangements" thus allowing a reduction in translation costs.
- Having only three languages acknowledges the realities of the patent sector, both in terms of research ("most scientific papers are published in German, English or French") and economic reality ("those languages are spoken in the Member States from which most of the patent applications in the EU originate"). Moreover, it also "ensures a certain stability for economic operators and professionals in the patent sector".
Principles of legal certainty and proportionality:
- Finally the Advocate General looks at these two principles and concludes that neither of them is breached as the language requirements will in fact act as safeguards for legal certainty and a compensation scheme for translation cost will be created.

An infection of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) has been confirmed in an Allegan County resident, according to health officials from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The individual was hospitalized in late August with a neurologic illness.
According to the MDHHS, EEE is one of the most dangerous mosquito-borne diseases in the U.S., with a 33 percent fatality rate. The disease can often leave survivors with lasting brain damage.
The southwestern region of the state has experienced outbreaks of the disease in people and horses in the past, most recently occurring in the early 1980s, mid-1990s and 2010.
This is the first human case reported in Michigan since 2016, when three people were infected.
Health officials said mosquito-borne illness will continue to be a risk in Michigan until late fall when nighttime temperatures consistently fall below freezing.
Horse owners should note that EEE can also cause neurologic illness in horses. Vaccination can protect horses from infection with EEE.
EEE is a virus of birds that is spread by mosquitoes near swamps and bogs. Human cases are rare, with only a few cases reported in the U.S. each year.
People who become infected may experience fever, headache, chills and nausea. In some cases, symptoms may lead to inflammation of the brain, signaled by disorientation, seizures and coma.
West Nile virus continues to infect people across the state, with a total of 44 cases and two deaths reported to date. The virus has also been identified in 149 mosquito pools, 115 birds and one horse in the state.
For more information on EEE, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's EEE website at cdc.gov/easternequineencephalitis.
For updates on equine and human cases of EEE and other mosquito-borne diseases in Michigan, visit the Emerging Diseases website at michigan.gov/emergingdiseases.

Image & Text - Brian D. Cohen
on view through August 5, 2007
It isn't often that an artist has two-shows-in-one at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, but that is exactly what Brian D. Cohen has achieved in his exhibit this season, on view through August 5, 2007. The Bird Book, showing in the Activity Gallery, is one half of Image & Text - Brian D. Cohen. Pierrot Lunaire, in the Museum's "History Room" off of the main gallery, presents another of Cohen's limited edition artist's book_of an entirely different look and sentiment. The Bird Book is an alphabet book, appealing to bird-lovers and the young-at-heart of all ages. Pierrot Lunaire is Cohen's visual interpretation of the cycle of twenty-one poems by the Belgian Symbolist poet Albert Giraud that was later composed into an atonal song cycle by Arnold Schoenberg. The illustrations for both of these books are etchings made and printed by Cohen at his Bridge Press in Westminster Station.
For The Bird Book, each representation of a bird, printed in black ink, was hand-colored with watercolors. The artist enlisted his wife, Holiday Eames, to create the rhyming couplets for each of the pages. In two lines, each bird or its attributes are cleverly described. Cohen relies on the expertise of artisans from near and far to help him complete his limited edition artist's books. Ed Rayher of Swamp Press in Northfield, MA cast the letters for The Bird Book. These metal letters were then set and printed at Golgonooza Letter Foundry in Ashuelot, NH by Dan Carr and Julia Ferrari. The bird's eye maple cover was made by cabinetmaker Richard Holmquist of White River Junction, and the title was carved into the cover by Julie Chen of Flying Fish Press in Berkeley, CA. The final step in completion of The Bird Book was the binding, crafted by Linda Lembke at Green River Bindery in Guilford. Partial funding for The Bird Book, finished in 2004, came from the Vermont Arts Council.
The Bird Book portion of the exhibit is accompanied by activities and books that relate to the alphabet as a source of inspiration. Illustrators, graphic artists and painters have used this elementary theme to create a wide variety of imaginative and award-winning books for all ages. Visitors to BMAC can return multiple times over the summer to create their own pages for an alphabet book and to enjoy the reading materials.
Upon entering the room where Pierrot Lunaire is exhibited, one sees that each page is hung at a different level. Immediately to the left of the entrance, the brushed aluminum box cover introduces the book. A design of overlapping circles has been gently sanded onto the surface of the box, and a subtle plaque presents the title. Then the pages begin to the right of the cover, their placement echoing visually the qualities of Schoenberg's atonal composition for the poem cycle. The etchings on each of the pages were printed from one metal plate, but one appears to be very dark and the other much lighter, due to the two different printing methods Cohen employed. Each poem has been set in a different typeface and appears in French, German and English. Pierrot Lunaire, designed by Brian D. Cohen and Dan Carr, was completed in 2007. Partial support for the project came from the Vermont Community Foundation.

The World Bank Strategic Compact- 1997
Strategic Compact of The World Bank Groop
World Bank provides low-interest loans, zero to low-interest credits, and grants to developing countries.
The Strategic Compact is a plan for fundamental reform and renewal of the World Bank to make it more effective in achieving its basic mission of reducing poverty. Through the Compact, the Bank's shareholders and management will invest in and implement a series of changes over the next 30 months to transform the way the institution does business: improving its products, speeding up its processes, lowering its costs, and increasing its development impact. The Compact will also establish clear performance criteria against which progress will be measured, and for which Management will be held accountable.
The Compact's vision is of a professionally excellent institution which responds quickly to the evolving and varying needs of its clients and provides a wide range of high-quality services; which operates through partnerships and acts as a catalyst for private-public collaboration; and which builds capacity and knowledge for the entire development community. Above all, it is a vision of an institution which delivers development results.
Main objective. The Bank must change if it is to be effective in the rapidly changing global economy-where private capital flows are five times greater than official assistance, where many different actors (from multilateral banks to NGOs) now play a much greater role in development, and where technological change has revolutionized the way business is done. The Bank has been slow to respond to these changes–with overly bureaucratic processes, weak capacity in key areas (e.g. the social sectors, institution-building, banking), and insufficient impact from the projects it supports.
The central objective of the Compact is to make the Bank more efficient and to increase the development effectiveness of everything it does. In terms of lending effectiveness, for example, it is expected that the proportion of projects rated satisfactory will increase from 66 percent to 75 percent, meaning that an extra $2 billion a year of the Bank's lending will have greater impact. Given the catalytic role of Bank funding, this translates into a total $5 billion a year of more effective lending for development.
Achieving the objective. The Compact takes a comprehensive approach to increasing the Bank's development effectiveness in four priority and related areas: refueling current business activities; refocusing the development agenda; retooling the Bank's knowledge base and revamping insititutional priorities. This requires:
- Shifting resources from overhead and administration to front-line operations (with the goal of achieving a 60:40 front-line to back-line ratio, compared to the current ratio of roughly 50:50).
- Developing a new range of financial products and advisory services-with the emphasis on relevance and timeliness for clients.
- Eliminating cumbersome, inefficient processes to make the Bank quicker, leaner and more cost effective.
- Rebuilding technical expertise in key areas of development, and expanding the Bank's focus in those areas-with the social sectors, institution-building and the private sector immediate priorities.
- Further decentralizing activities to the field in order to better customize country assistance strategies, design more appropriate conditionality, and build local ownership of development programs.
- Strengthening the Bank's information management system to collect, synthesize and disseminate the best in development thinking.
- Reforming our Human Resources system to create a more flexible, performance-based, and diverse institution.
- Creating new and stronger partnerships with other organizations to enable the Bank to be more selective and specialize in those areas where it has a comparative advantage.
The benefits for our clients promise to be substantial: higher quality and more relevant products and services backed by an effective, modern knowledge management system; and a staff that combines state-of-the-art technical skills and global experience, within the context of a flatter, faster, more decentralized organization.
Costs. A high and rising share of the Compact's overall costs will be met through a stringent program of savings and redeployments. Net additional investment under the Compact–excluding the cost of staff separations–is $250 million. This funding will be phased in to ensure that it is in line with the Bank's absorptive capacity: $100 million annually in FY98 and FY99, and $50 million in FY00. Approval of the Compact's funding will be contingent on the Board's annual review of the Bank's budget and work program.
By FY01, the administrative budget is projected to return to its current level, subject to demand for the Bank's improved products and services. This goal will be met through significant increases in productivity as well as the program of savings and redeployments, aided by a comprehensive Cost-Effectiveness Review. This Review, which is already underway and is being conducted with the assistance of an international consulting firm, will be completed by July 1, 1997.
The total cost of staff separations is projected at $100-150 million over the Compact period, with a first installment of $60 million requested now. The separation program will be rigorously implemented and every effort made to contain costs. Separation funds will not be used where retraining or reassignment is an option, nor to finance the release of poor performers. The Board will receive full reports on the implementation of the separation program every six months. Moreover, in the context of the review of Human Resources policies, there will also be a review of the Bank's Severance Policy.
Finally, on costs, the Compact does not assume or require any increase in the price of the Bank's products and services. The Compact can be paid for within the framework of the Bank's own earnings. The longer-term issue of the decline in the Bank's net income will be addressed separately by the Board in its upcoming review of income dynamics.
Measuring Progress. There are a broad range of specific measures for gauging effectiveness and accountability under the Compact. These include:
- tracking development progress made by the Bank's client countries (using the new World Development Indicators);
- setting stretch targets for client responsiveness (including substantial cuts in elapsed time for provision of services); and
- monitoring the main drivers of project outcomes (including quality-at-entry and portfolio management).
There will also be regular reviews of the project pipeline, progress in streamlining business processes, and personnel development. Finally, there will be a biannual review by the Board of the effectiveness of the Bank's senior management.
Impact on IDA. None of the funds appropriated for IDA will be used to finance the Compact. More importantly, a more cost-effective, results-oriented Bank will lead to a stronger IDA. IDA borrowers will get a better quality product; and IDA donors will have greater confidence that their contributions are being used even more effectively.
Why will it work? The Compact is not just an internal reorganization. Rather, it is a comprehensive plan rooted in the Bank's business strategy-and focused on the external delivery of higher quality products and services to its clients. The Compact is not about shifting organizational boxes; it is about fundamental renewal-changing the way the Bank does business. It is the outcome of extensive consultation throughout the organization and reflects feedback from clients and shareholders. The entire Bank management team has formally signed on to the plan, and is ready to stand accountable for its implementation. To ensure success, the Compact requires the support and partnership of all the Bank's shareholders.

Brown trout a traffic stopper
Jarvis Elmore caught the fish of his life July 3.
The 72-year-old Montreal, Mo., native reeled in a 10-pound, 24-inch brown trout over the holiday at Bennett Spring State Park in Lebanon, Mo.
"I actually thought I had a snag … I looked up and the pole and the line were going upstream, so I knew it wasn't a snag," Elmore said. "When I realized it was a fish of that size, I was excited. I didn't have my net with me. I asked the guy standing next to me if he had one."
Elmore said the ordeal of reeling in the fish was a struggle, joking that the fish was "more fun after I got him out of the water."
He said that his fish was the biggest caught in Bennett Spring this season, and that a fish this size was unexpected.
"As I carried back to the store to have him weighed I was stopping traffic, people wanted to take pictures of it."

Have you ever dreamt of leaving behind your life as you know it and moving into a van full-time? Jake and Gianna of Our Van Quest have done just that, and they're here to share their insights and tips on how to make life on the road a little easier.
This post is about to be as real as it gets! We are here to tell you the truth so that you can make informed decisions before jumping into this lifestyle. Van Life is rewarding but it is not always easy. It's actually a lot of work. It's easy to sugar coat the lifestyle when all you see is beautiful pictures on social media. It's easy to swoon over the lifestyle without totally understanding what it takes to live it. Beautiful scenery and the freedom to go anywhere are the rewards for the hard work it takes. Just like when you live in a house, there are things you have to do to maintain your residence, there are "chores" you will need to do living van life. You also have to understand the creature comforts you had in a house will either disappear or change all together. Think of yourself as a modern-day pioneer on the hunt for the resources you need to survive.
It no longer flows endlessly when you turn the faucet on or take a shower. Depending on the size of your freshwater tank, how often you shower and wash dishes, you may find yourself needing to fill up your tank every two days or so. It's not always easy to find clean potable water either, many times you have to hunt for it. If you're in remote locations, it may be that much more difficult to find. People always think you can just fill up at campgrounds, but there are many times throughout your travels that you may not find a campground and/or they won't allow you fill up unless you're staying with them. You will find yourself driving around looking for water spigots many times asking businesses and gas stations if it's cool you fill up. Yet sometimes they'll charge you or ask you to buy something and sometimes they'll just flat out tell you no. That's when you really have to get creative. We recommend you get this little tool to have in your back pocket if times are rough and you're struggling to find water. This tool allows you to access water from spigots without a tap handle (most commonly seen on municipal buildings). Always ask first before filling up! Your water usage is also a huge adjustment to get used to coming from a house. The wasteful luxury of letting the water run to brush your teeth, wash dishes or shower goes away. The water goes on and off submarine style throughout the whole process which means you may be chilly when you're showering and soaping up between rinsing. It's just a different way of living now!
Finding where to park at night:
If you've read our post about finding safe sleeping to sleep, awesome! However, sometimes it's not always easy. Sometimes the Walmart's don't allow overnight sleeping, sometimes you're in areas where there are no Harvest Host locations, or BLM land and sometimes the local laws just do not allow vehicle dwelling. Often times roads are slanted forcing you to sleep on an angle, there are noisy roads or just locations you don't feel safe in. That's when the hunt is on. Different than a house where you can rest at night in your bedroom, when you live van life, every single night you're out looking for a spot to safely park and sleep. It could be exhausting to have to do this every night, but it's the price you pay to live this lifestyle. You can't expect the same creature comforts on the road as you had in a house- it's a much different way of living that you'll need to accept and roll with.
No Sunshine:
Depending on how your rig is set up for power, there will be days that there is no sun to charge your solar panels and batteries. You have to get used to keeping an eye on your battery banks and incoming solar amps so you can stay on top of your batteries. Meaning, if your batteries get too low, you'll have to find somewhere to plug into shore power, use a generator or drive your vehicle a bit to charge your batteries (if you have an alternator battery charger set up which we DEFINITELY recommend!). If you have a refrigerator plugged in, it slowly drains power all day and all night long, so if you don't have solar power, you have to ensure there's enough juice in those batteries to keep your fridge running. This is now a part of your daily maintenance of your tiny home on wheels. No more luxury of flipping on a light switch and not worrying, you either need a TON of solar and battery or you have to start getting used to making up for the lack of sunshine.
Shopping + Eating:
The way you shop and eat on the road changes quite a bit. Your refrigerator (if you have one) is significantly smaller than a house refrigerator which means your food storage is minimal. You will have to shop every couple of days to ensure you're stocked up with good quality foods. Your food choices are key because in order to power yourself with the energy and nutrients you need to sustain this adventurous lifestyle, you need to make healthy food choices. It's not easy (or affordable) to eat out for every meal, so being able to make your own meals is absolutely crucial. Keep in mind, the more you cook, the more dishes you have which means the more water you use so it all coincides!
No Mailbox:
When you live van life, you have no mailbox attached to your van which means you no longer have the ability to walk outside and grab your mail that conveniently gets delivered daily by a mail man. You should consider setting up electronic payments for all of your important monthly commitments (bills, insurance, etc.). If you need to get a package on the road (which you will), you have to really plan ahead and guestimate your delivery times with where you will be. It's nice to use an Amazon locker to get your Amazon packages but if you're not using Amazon, you'll have to call ahead to a post office in the area you will be in and see if they will accept general mail or use this service called Kinek. It's a service that uses other postal companies and allows you to receive packages from many different locations. It's free and you just pay when you receive a package. Total van life hack!
We hope we didn't completely discourage you from living this lifestyle, it really is awesome! But we just want you to understand that it's not all rainbows and butterfly's social media portrays it to be. It takes a lot of work, commitment and UNDERSTANDING that things will be different. As we've said before, it's the sacrifices you make to live this life of freedom and adventure. If you're adaptable and ready for it, you totally got this!

New Delhi: A total of 124 Covid-19 patients in Delhi need oxygen, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said Tuesday.
"Delhi has reported around 11,000 positive cases in the past 8-10 days. Of these, around 350 patients are in hospital, 124 need oxygen and seven are on ventilator," he said in a virtual conference this afternoon after the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) meeting.
"Covid-19 cases are on a rise in Delhi and the rest of the country. However, it is a relief that the Omicron variant here is showing similar trends to that of the world's. It shows mild symptoms that are curable at home isolation. But we still need to take necessary precautions to curb the infection," he said while announcing the weekend curfew.
He urged the people to step out only when it is an absolute necessity after wearing a mask and to maintain social/physical distancing.
The Deputy CM also announced that the metros and buses will run at full seating capacity with strict adherence to Covid-19 guidelines so as to avoid the spread of the virus outside of metro stations ad at bus stops where huge crowds were being seen since the implementation of the restrictions imposed under the yellow alert on December 29.
Delhi on Tuesday reported 5,481 fresh Covid cases, the highest single-day rise after May 16 when the tally was 6,456. The new cases have pushed the infection tally to 14,63,701 in the city.
A source from the Delhi Health Department said that it is the onset of the third Covid wave in the city. Three deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours, taking the death toll to 25,113.

Over 20,000 Children In Overcrowded Classrooms In Dublin, More Than 91,000 Children In Class Sizes Above Average
Dublin Bay South By-Election Candidate Mairéad Tóibín has highlighted that more than 20,000 Dublin school children are being educated in overcrowded classrooms.
Ms Tóibín: "Figures obtained by Aontú show that nearly 21,000 Dublin school receive their lessons in classrooms of 30 plus children. 15% of children are in 'overcrowded classrooms', that's 30+ students per room. 65% of students (91485 students) that are in classrooms that exceed best practice education guidelines of 24 students (70570 + 20771 + 142). This figure is 5% above the national average of 60%.. Class sizes directly correlate to improved educational outcomes for children, and allow attention to be paid to the particular needs of individual children. In the figures I have obtained, covering the area from Ringsend to Ranelagh, overcrowding is a real concern. This overcrowding and under-resourcing of our educational sector has a direct educational cost for our children. It is a damning indictment of the complacency that has set in around our educational system. No child should be held back by our education system."
"To put this in context, just look at how we compare to Europe. The average class size in the EU is 20, however in Ireland it is 24. Two-thirds of Dublin schoolchildren are in classes which exceed the national average. Over 91,000 children receive their education in classrooms above the national average size; and over 124,000 children are taught in above EU average sized classrooms. It is quite clear the government have failed our children."

(Honolulu, HI) The Foundation for Global Sports Development (GSD) and its media production company, Sidewinder Films, proudly present Waterman – a film to honor Duke Kahanamoku. To celebrate Duke's life and further the education of Hawai'i's student athletes, GSD presented a $25,000 donation to the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation on Saturday morning.
"We are so deeply touched by the generous gift from The Foundation for Global Sports Development," said Bill Pratt of the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation. "Their aloha for Duke and level of commitment to invest in Hawai'i's student athletes will continue to perpetuate Duke's legacy for generations to come."
Waterman explores Duke's journey and influence as a legendary swimmer, trailblazer, and the undisputed father of modern-day surfing. Through rare footage and incisive interviews, the film celebrates Duke's triumphs and philosophy of inclusion, challenging us all to embrace diversity and incorporate Aloha into our own lives.
"As a production company, we create films that celebrate the sport of life," said David Ulich, Waterman producer and GSD board member. "As a private foundation, we go beyond the films to inspire curiosity and create a lasting impact. With Waterman, we are delighted to partner with the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation and perpetuate Duke's legacy as a waterman."
The Foundation for Global Sports Development (GSD) was established in 1996 to enrich the lives of youth through the power of sport. In 2015, the foundation launched its media production company, Sidewinder Films, to inspire audiences through films that shed light on the remarkable, untold stories that celebrate the sport of life.
"This year, we are celebrating the realization of Duke's dream for surfing to be an Olympic sport – a dream 100 years in the making," said Dr. Steven Ungerleider, Waterman producer and GSD board member. "Waterman is more than a documentary about a man. It is a tribute to Duke and his passion for sharing surfing and Hawai'i with the world."
An Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort booth to share the Waterman trailer, a replica of Duke's surfboard and giveaways also happened after the check presentation. For more information, and to receive updates on the film's release dates, visit http://www.watermanthemovie.com.

After sharing a video of himself arriving outside of the royal residence, the rapper/record executive reveals that he was not allowed to go through the gates by a member of the Queen's Guard.
AceShowbiz –Rick Ross expressed his disappointment after being denied entry into London's Buckingham Palace. Claiming that he was not allowed to enter the royal residence, the "Aston Martin Music" rapper revealed that he was directed to somewhere else instead.
"Alright so y'all saw me go to Buckingham Palace," the 46-year-old said on Instagram Story after posting a video of him outside the gates of the palace. "I pulled the homie to the side and told him you know, who I was, the Biggest Bawse. And for one of the first times in a long time that didn't get me in. It didn't get me through the gates."
"I didn't get to sit at the table," the emcee, born William Leonard Roberts II, went on explaining. "But what he did do was refer me to a spot and they said they'd be waiting on me and I can pick the lobster I wanted to eat so I forgave him."
Prior to his trip, Rick made an appearance on the "Beyond the Chair" podcast. During the interview, he explained why he never sued anyone he has worked with. "You gotta realize when you a young artist I'm sure after you become successful whatever you look back on you will consider it a bad contract," he said.
"Have I ever been taken advantage of? No. Have I ever been robbed? No. Have I ever had to sue someone I was in business with musically? No," the record executive added. "It was just the way I moved I guess. Whoever I was in the contract with we always had an open phone conversation, so if there was anything that was a problem I presented it and just explain it to me. If it's respectable I'm gonna respect it because I always felt like any contract I signed whatever couple years it was I could work myself out of this."

Paul Jamison of Jamison Realty with Keller Williams Realty in Matthews, NC, is a brand expert by trade. During his 27-year career in advertising, he gained an understanding of what makes a buyer connect and engage with a product. Sound familiar? That's because it's the same approach used in real estate. The difference: Jamison consistently gets the job done the right way, which explains why he's this month's Top Producer.
Jamison's entrance into the real estate industry was a natural progression. At the time, he was spending his days as a real estate investor in Cincinnati, OH, acquiring local properties as well as real estate in Charlotte and Siesta Key, FL. During his business transactions, Jamison frequently crossed paths with real estate agents. These encounters drew his attention each time, and he quickly realized that to have better access to what was occurring in the marketplace, he needed to get his real estate license. So, he did. But Jamison didn't jump immediately into the real estate business. Initially, his career took him in a new direction and growing industry: advertising.
For 27 years, he counseled many leading companies on the power of branding, such as Proctor & Gamble, Wells Fargo, Transamerica, and others, and helped create print and direct-mail pieces that connected with each business' target audience. Eventually, he took the expertise and knowledge he gained in Ohio with him to Charlotte, where he opened Corporate Creative, an advertising agency, in 1989. There, he continued what he knew best – creating messages that connected emotionally with his clients' consumers. "Advertising is about discovering what makes someone want to engage," explains Jamison. "Real estate isn't any different. Yes, it's a different industry, but many of the same rules apply."
Jamison's outlook explains why he has been so successful in real estate since leaving advertising behind and opening Jamison Realty in 2007. His office is not only located in the oldest house in downtown Matthews (it was constructed in 1877), but it's also where he has established the motto "real estate DONE different!" across all three areas of his business. (Jamison Realty is also comprised of Jamison Property Investments and Jamison Property Management.) "Everywhere around me, you will see the word 'DONE' in caps with an
exclamation point," explains Jamison. "The last four digits of my office phone number spell 'DONE,' my company logo includes the word 'DONE' – I've basically made it my brand statement. That's because everything I do in this business is about getting it DONE and doing it the right way. Typically, when you stick to that mantra, everything goes according to plan."
So what does Jamison consider the "right way?" With him, it begins with communication, whether that's over the phone with a client, or seated at their kitchen table, meeting them for the first time. "The kitchen table to me represents a place where people connect," explains Jamison. "Growing up, it was where my family communed, asked questions and learned about each other. When I sit at a client's kitchen table, I'm in their world. It provides me with the opportunity to ask questions, discover clients' motivations and learn more about them. As a result, it's my favorite part of the process – making that initial connection."
Once Jamison understands what a buyer wants, the process quickly becomes about finding the right house – which can sometimes be difficult, since each one speaks to him in its unique way. "Every house has its own personality and character," he says. "As real estate agents, we have to figure out what it's trying to say, who it's trying to attract and what the opportunities to connect the pieces together may be. When this equation is solved, the process takes one huge step forward." However, many times, setbacks occur. And they can happen over the smallest things, which Jamison affectionately calls "objections." "Paint should not be placed in the objection category," explains Jamison. "The same can be said of carpet. Those are easy fixes, and it's our responsibility as agents to remind clients that those are not dealbreakers.
I think sometimes we get so caught up in the little things that we lose focus on the bigger picture, which is what brought the buyers here today." While helping a family find the perfect home that "checks all of the boxes" ranks high on Jamison's list of priorities, being successful in business carries equal weight, and the numbers don't lie. He's led Jamison Realty to be among the top agencies in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties. Yet Jamison would argue that that isn't necessarily how he would define success. To Jamison, success comes in many different forms – it can be paying someone a compliment, walking away from a harmful deal or enhancing someone's life through a simple act. Success, in Jamison's opinion, is all
about where you place value. That value becomes quite evident when Jamison talks about his family.
He's been married to his wife, Kerry, for 28 years, and is a dad to three boys: Bill, Bob, and Alex. He's also a grandfather of four. In his spare time, he enjoys restoring classic cars with his youngest son (the pair just completed a 1966 Ford Mustang), playing golf with his wife, or escaping to their homes on Fripp Island and Lake Lure. When he's not hitting the links or finding solace in the mountains, he can be heard each Saturday at 2 p.m. on WBT's "Your Real Estate Today," a program he has hosted for the last 10 years.
He can also be found giving back to the community that has housed his business for 14 years. (He annually sponsors the Town of Matthews' Pawsitively Matthews event, is a past president of the Matthews Chamber of Commerce and Matthews Economic Development Advisory Committee, and a former member of the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority.) "I want to come from a place of contribution," he adds. "If I can add value or learn something, I'm in. That's what I'm after; that's what life is all about." It's this thirst for knowledge that has helped Jamison finish well and get the job "DONE!," ranking him among Charlotte's real estate elite.
