It was then that he noticed that the entirety of the thin bedding was wrapped tightly around you and, when he replaced his hand, that your skin was unnaturally cold.He tugged you a little closer, wondering if this was normal, and you stirred again, wrapping an arm around his waist tightly and rubbing your cheek against him slightly, mumbling, "So warm."

Is everything alright?" you questioned with a raised eyebrow."Bruce is particularly tense today." the billionaire sighed. "I kept trying to ask him what was wrong, but I couldn't get anything out of him...and he kinda snapped at me." "And you of all people actually left him alone?! You're usually the one who tries to make him loose control." you scoffed.Tony shook his head. "Not when he's already in a mood.""He really does seem to be in jerk mode today."

You wanted to speak but your lips felt glued to together. Your entire body felt heavy and you didn't have a clue about what had happened.The second time you opened your eyes, you saw Tony looking down at you. Your eyes were barely opened but he managed to see that you were sort of awake. He smiled sadly at you and placed his hands over your eyes, "Go to sleep." He had said and sleep you did. It felt like you had slept for days until finally, your eyes fluttered open fully. This time you were able to see that you were in a hospital. It looked like to be one of the best hospitals of New York too. No doubt about it since Tony always took care of his closest friends. You tried to sit up but the pain you felt in your chest was too much. Your legs and arms felt like jello as you tried to prop yourself up. No one was in your room to help you sadly. You would have ringed for the n

You sighed, the moment gone, "Why the fuck is it that no matter what I do I always end up back on this stupid Helicarrier looking up at it's stupid gray ceilings."There was a rustle as you lifted your head slightly, only to have your field of vision completely blocked by a mixture of red and something shiny. Thor."Lady (F/n) you are awake!" He boomed much louder than necessary, pulling you up into a hug.You managed a choked laugh and another voice began scolding him, "Thor I think you should put Miss (L/n) down.

Why can't he just act normal like he does with everyone else? Why does he always look at you with hurting eyes? You worried for the man you barely talked to.

Buying House with Asbestos Siding (worried)
Hello Everyone,
Please help me 'think through!' I am looking at a house (to buy) which has asbestos siding. This has gotten me worried. ANY advice you can give will be much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
Asbestos siding is no problem if it's in good shape.
It's also not the kind that is friable, meaning the particles aren't going to be floating in the air.
Here is a link that might be useful: There may be more answers here...
My understanding is:
there is no problem unless you break them into a thousand pieces and leave them sitting in the yard.
We left them alone, and got a good paint job. You can even buy new cement shingles that do not contain asbestos to replace broken ones.
I owned a house with asbestos siding. It didn't cause any problems.
We took it off of the front of the house to expose the original clapboards, but left it on the sides and back.
It really holds paint well. I drive by the house every once in awhile and the 1996 paint job is faded but not peeling at all.
The asbestos siding wasn't a issue when we sold the house. No one mentioned anything about it.
I would check with a building inspector to get a professional opinion. We lived for 10 years in a house that was built in 1930 that had asbestos insulation in the steam pipes all over the cellar. When we put it up for sale in 1986 we learned for the first time that this was an issue. We could not sell the house until we had it removed professionally, which cost us a lot of money and the air quality after the removal had to be checked.
Fast forward to 1991: We bought a house built in 1985 that had vinyl flooring in the kitchen that we wanted to remove. We were told that it was right around 1985 that they outlawed asbestos in the vinyl flooring, so no one would remove it because they weren't sure if it had asbestos. We decided to leave it in place and put new vinyl over it.
In the first case, the asbestos posed a hazard for indoor air quality, especially if it was disturbed. We never touched it. In the second case the asbestos is sequestered and poses no hazard unless it is disturbed, and there is no reason to do that.
In your case, the asbestos is outdoors. That's a different situation. If you ever want to remove it, that would have to be done according to EPA strict rules to prevent the stuff from crumbling into dust particles and flying in the air.
Based on what I have experienced, I would err on the side of caution and ask the seller to remove it professionally according to EPA rules, but then it will be up to you to install new siding. Alternatively, you could install new siding over the asbestos siding, if that can be done without causing the asbestos to crumble.
No need to worry! The asbestos in the cement siding is not at all comparable to asbestos insulation - which is generally pretty crumbly and loose stuff ("friable" as they say). With the cement siding the asbestos fibers are locked in and are not going anywhere - plus the coat of paint over it is further protection. If you are getting the house inspected be sure to call around and pick someone who has experience and interest in old houses - you might ask them their opinion about it before you even make the offer.
As previous poster stated, it really does hold paint well (not like wood that expands and contracts) and doesn't rot so why would you even need to think of removing it? Some people around here paint their shingles in a faux wood texture in attractive vintage colors - actually can look quite nice.
My house has asbestos siding. It holds paint very well and I haven't had any issues with it. They also make fiber cement shingles that are a good match to many of the old asbestos shingles if one gets damaged.
When I purchased my house it also had asbestos insulation for the steam pipes in the basement. On the advice of my lawyer, we had the sellers remove it as a condition of sale. In retrospect, as I then had to buy pipe insulation which never quite fit as well as that asbestos had, I should have requested that they encapsulate rather than remove the asbestos.
Hello, I just found this site after I questioned google. I am thinking of buying a house with asbestos siding. The siding is in great shape and the contractor who is selling the hundred year old house painted the shingles.
do all of your answers still remain true three years later.
Have you had any problems with resale.
I would get a home inspection, to make sure there's no asbestos in the insulation or around the pipes. If all you have is the siding (and you're not planning to replace it) I haven't heard of any problems.
Might be a good idea to double check that asbestos siding is not a problem in your area...and what steps you'd have to take, if you ever decided to remove it. Check with your local or county building department :)

Can I disable source view or hide my html source
Any one knows how to disable source view or how to hide my html source.
Do you really think your html coding is that important? well there is a java script for no right click if you dont want anyone to save your images. And you can use CSS web pages to hide some of the coding. Even better now is that you can put encoding on your pages so if you catch someone using your "copyrighted" stuff, you can prove they took it from you.
I don't know what browser you are exactly using,
but when using IE5.01 or even NN 4.03 I have no trouble at all looking at the source. OK the page uses frames to display other pages, but this shouldn't bother any one of viewing the HTML content of those pages.
As already stated before, HTML can not be hidden, since it is an essential part of the page. HTML tags are "commands" needed for the browser to read the page and display it appropriately
You can't. The browser needs the HTML to render the page and there is no way to disable the view source item in the menu. And no-right-click scripts are dishonest, show arrogance, and are worthless because a view source item is usually in the Edit menu, which does not need to be right-clicked.
They have scripts that will scramble your code. Just insert your code into the box, hit scramble and copy the scrambled code to your webpage.
When you do a View Source, your code will be jibberish, but the system recognizes the commands.
Only trouble is that you will have to paste the scrambled code back into the decoder in order to work on it again.
Microsoft Front Page = Source codes!
Netscape Composer = Source codes!
IE V6.0 can still view source codes!
so is it really worth hiding? hm.
Two simple ways are:
1) Use http://www.angelfire.com/geek/esfiles/ to generate your image into java applet. NO Right Click Here :)
2) Use flash to generate design. No More Source Code Here :)
Ever wonder "too easy" is right under your sleeve :)
Ever wonder to pay or not to pay :)
In conclude if you know how to use Microsoft word, then it should be a walk in the park :)
You can't hide anything online!
However, you can make it harder to steal, but, this only work for newbie!
1) At www.swishzone.com you can build flash without knowing flash, very simple, and yes, you can even crack it!
2) Source codes are everywhere, you can hide it, but then there will always be another site out there. "if you are good at it, then why bother to hide!"
3) Even if you put it in css or jsp people can still download the whole thing and open it.
4) If i want to steal a picture, I can use the printscreen command on my keyboard!
So there is nothing to hide alright!
Now email me if you want to make money online :)
Folks, using server side includes doesn't hide the code. The output to the browser contains everything on the page, including whatever was included. In other words, the file gets included then sent to the browser, so when you view source, you do NOT see the "include" statement -- you DO see the actual file which was included.
Why would you want to hide your source code?
Unless you are claiming something new and want to grab the intellectual rights to it, that is.
The Internet exists because MOST people want to freely disseminate information throughout the world.
That's how we keep the Saddam Hussein's, Hitler's, and George Bush's from ruling the world.
Hiding source code is in the realm of large corporations and governments.
Please- because I am so computer dumb....I saw your post.
Why would you hide your html?
Is it because someone could steal/hack?
Is it because you don't want someone to know the origin of the site or email?
Or is this something else?
I thought that anything you put into a site/email/computer could be retrieved- that it can always be tracked.
Just learning. Thanks

Kinda the way I feel too. Ironically, that encrypted page would likely be served by Apache.

Rocket launch boosts new leader's credentials
Related Links
Relevant offers
National News
North Korea successfully launched a rocket yesterday, boosting the credentials of its new leader and stepping up the threat the isolated and impoverished state poses to opponents.
The rocket, which North Korea says put a weather satellite into orbit, has been labelled by the United States, South Korea and Japan as a test of technology that could one day deliver a nuclear warhead capable of hitting targets as far away as the continental United States.
"The satellite has entered the planned orbit," a North Korean television news reader clad in traditional Korean garb announced, after which the station played patriotic songs with the lyrics "Chosun (Korea) does what it says".
The rocket was launched just before 10am (2pm yesterday, NZ time), according to defence officials in South Korea and Japan, and was more successful than a rocket launched in April that flew for less than two minutes.
The North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) said that it "deployed an object that appeared to achieve orbit", the first time an independent body has verified North Korean claims.
North Korea followed what it said was a similar successful launch in 2009 with a nuclear test that prompted the UN Security Council to stiffen sanctions that it originally imposed in 2006 after the North's first nuclear test.
North Korea is banned from developing nuclear and missile-related technology under UN resolutions, although Kim Jong-un, the youthful head of state who took power a year ago, is believed to have continued the state's "military first" programmes put in place by his late father, Kim Jong-il.
North Korea hailed the launch as celebrating the prowess of all three members of the Kim family to rule since it was founded in 1948.
"At a time when great yearnings and reverence for Kim Jong-il pervade the whole country, its scientists and technicians brilliantly carried out his behests to launch a scientific and technological satellite in 2012, the year marking the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung," its KCNA news agency said. Kim Il Sung, the current leader's grandfather, was North Korea's first leader.
The United States condemned the launch as "provocative" and a breach of UN rules, while Japan's UN envoy called for a Security Council meeting. However, diplomats say further tough sanctions are unlikely from the Security Council as China, the North's only major ally, will oppose them.
"The international community must work in a concerted fashion to send North Korea a clear message that its violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions have consequences," the White House said in a statement.
US intelligence has linked North Korea with missile shipments to Iran. Newspapers in Japan and South Korea have reported that Iranian observers were in the North for the launch, something Iran has denied.
Japan's likely next prime minister, Shinzo Abe, who is leading in opinion polls ahead of an election on Sunday and who is known as a hawk on North Korea, called on the United Nations to adopt a resolution "strongly criticising" Pyongyang.
A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman reiterated that the rocket was a "peaceful project".
"The attempt to see our satellite launch as a long-range missile launch for military purposes comes from hostile perception that tries to designate us a cause for security tension," KCNA cited the spokesman as saying.
China had expressed "deep concern" prior to the launch which was announced a day after a top politburo member, representing new Chinese leader Xi Jinping, met Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang.
On Wednesday, its tone was measured, regretting the launch but calling for restraint on any counter-measures, in line with a policy of effectively vetoing tougher sanctions.
"China believes the Security Council's response should be cautious and moderate, protect the overall peaceful and stable situation on the Korean peninsula, and avoid an escalation," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told journalists.
Bruce Klingner, a Korea expert at the Heritage Foundation, said: "China has been the stumbling block to firmer UN action and we'll have to see if the new leadership is any different than its predecessors."
A senior adviser to South Korea's president said last week it was unlikely there would be action from the United Nations and Seoul would expect its allies to tighten sanctions unilaterally.
Kim Jong-un, believed to be 29 years old, took power when his father died on December 17 last year and experts believe the launch was intended to commemorate the first anniversary of his death. The April launch was timed for the centennial of the birth of Kim Il Sung.
Wednesday's success puts the North ahead of the South which has not managed to get a rocket off the ground.
"This is a considerable boost in establishing the rule of Kim Jong-un," said Cho Min, an expert at the Korea Institute of National Unification.
There have been few indications the secretive and impoverished state, where the United Nations estimates a third of people are malnourished, has made any advances in opening up economically over the past year.
North Korea remains reliant on minerals exports to China and remittances from tens of thousands of its workers overseas.
Many of its 22 million people need handouts from defectors, who have escaped to South Korea, for basic medicines.
Given the puny size of its economy - per capita income is less than $2,000 a year - one of the few ways the North can attract world attention is by emphasising its military threat.
It wants the United States to resume aid and to recognise it diplomatically, although the April launch scuppered a planned food deal.
The North is believed to be some years away from developing a functioning nuclear warhead although it may have enough plutonium for about half a dozen nuclear bombs, according to nuclear experts.
It has also been enriching uranium, which would give it a second path to nuclear weapons as it sits on big natural uranium reserves.
"A successful launch puts North Korea closer to the capability to deploy a weaponised missile," said Denny Roy, a senior fellow at the East-West Center in Hawaii.
"But this would still require fitting a weapon to the missile and ensuring a reasonable degree of accuracy. The North Koreans probably do not yet have a nuclear weapon small enough for a missile to carry."
The North says its work is part of a civil nuclear programme although it has also boasted of it being a "nuclear weapons power".

Video: Former President Obasanjo Speaks About His Book: "My Watch"
#Nigeria National Security Adviser "Not Very Optimistic" about #Chibok Girls
The Nigerian National Security Adviser (NSA) Lt-Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retired) was spoke at Chatham House in London last week, in much publicised comments. Although Dasuki usually keeps a low profile he spoke frankly about many issues relating to Nigeria's upcoming elections next month and the security threat posed by Boko Haram. Highlights from the NSA's talk and answers to questions from the audience:
- He said that Nigeria will develop a new civil-military relations doctrine; to redefine how the military relates to the public – especially in areas where it conducts counter-insurgency operations. The military needs to move doctrinally from conventional warfare to asymmetric warfare. Nigeria has created a National Counter-Terrorism Center.
- He admitted that there have been "historical deficits" in the military; including the fact that the last significant weapons procurement for the Nigerian military was over two decades ago.
- He said his office will present a counter-insurgency narrative to undermine Boko Haram's credibility and narrative by presenting "the true face of Islam" – counter to the message being presented by Boko Haram.
- The Nigerian government is open to negotiated solution to the Boko Haram insurgency, should Boko Haram be willing to dialogue.
- On allegations of sabotage in the army: Dasuki said the army has "a few cowards".
- Boko Haram financing: he said Boko Haram obtains financing from bank and market robberies, kidnapping and ransom, and get fuel by staging fuel heists.
- The Baga attack: Chad and Niger troops withdrew from the military base in Baga, leaving only Nigerian troops there. Dasuki said the way the base was overrun was "not something anyone would be proud of".
- Chibok girls: Dasuki thinks they have been dispersed, "some of them have been sold out…that is all we know". United States officers are still conducting surveillance 24 hours a day. Nigeria has aerial surveillance footage, but he is "very hopeful but not very optimistic".
- On the botched ceasefire announcement with Boko Haram: Chad's President Idriss Deby received two letters purportedly sent to him by Boko Haram leaders who wanted to negotiate a ceasefire. Chad acted as an intermediary between Nigeria and Boko Haram. Dasuki stated his belief that there are "links" between the Chad government and Boko Haram's leadership.
- Equipment of Nigerian Soldiers: Dasuki denied allegations that Nigerian soldiers are poorly armed/equipped. He reeled off a list of military equipment that Boko Haram captured from the Nigerian army in Baga, including: 6 armoured personnel carriers (each with at least 4000 rounds of ammunition each), and 4 artillery guns. He said lack of equipment is not the issue, but that there are "a lot cowards" among soldiers and that some of them "do not want to fight".
- More than 70-80% of Boko Haram members are of Kanuri ethnicity.

Emmanuel Ifeajuna: Erased from Nigerian History
Interesting articles on how Emmanuel Ifeajuna (the first black African to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal in high jumping) has been erased from Nigeria's history due to his involvement in the January 15, 1966 coup and civil war in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Billionaire that Wants to Negotiate with #BokoHaram
Great interview with former Abia State Governor Uzor Orji Kalu, who is also also a billionaire and one of Nigeria's richest men. Kalu is a friend of other Nigerian billionaires such as Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga. Kalu has offered to negotiate with Boko Haram and claims the security challenge of Boko Haram could result in Goodluck Jonathan being Nigeria's last ever president:
"There was a time when news of bombing and terrorism was synonymous to countries like Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. Nigeria is now at that point. We are now like those countries. This is what we have become. If care is not taken, Goodluck Jonathan would be the last president we've had in this country."
Interview with #BringBackOurGirls Coordinator Dr. Oby Ezekwezili
A Profile of Abubakar Shekau
This is the most detailed profile of the mysterious Shekau that I have seen. Key points:
Shekau was born in a remote village in Yobe State near Nigeria's border with Niger
When he was a young boy he was taken by his father for Quranic studies by a Mallam. The Mallam's son Baba Fanani described Shekau as "the most troublesome of all of his students" and that "He was arguing with the mallam all the time".
After 11 years of study, the Mallam (Baba Fanani's father told) Shekau to leave after Shekau's aggressive disposition troubled the Mallam.
Shekau's parents never visited him throughout his 11 years with the Mallam.
- Shekau then became an itinerant street preacher. He preached hostile rhetoric against the government, telling his followers that the government was not doing anything for them.
- He supported himself by selling perfume bottles in the market.
- Stories of his aggression and anger are legion. One of his followers described him as "very harsh as a teacher" and recalled that "Nobody wanted to argue with him." A nurse who treated his followers said Shekau was cold, unsmiling, and feared by his own followers: "I've seen him shouting and insulting his followers. He will shout at the top of his voice and insult people."

Category Archives: Storytelling with Maps
Six Trending Topics in Web GIS
Content, 3D, Story Maps, and Other Trends Offer New Opportunities to Re-imagine What's Possible with GIS
The web has had an enormous impact on how we obtain information, connect with others, and work every day. Clearly GIS has also been transformed by the web—it's enabling easier access, better workflows, and supporting diverse applications and new types of data, all leveraging flexible service-based architectures.
The web has also increased the value of GIS and the work we do as GIS professionals by making GIS pervasive and driving its importance to become an integral part of the decision making process. But the web has also added new challenges, creating not only demand, but also setting expectations and nudging us forward to consider what we do in new ways.
So what's happening right now in web GIS? Here's a few topics that are currently trending.
The Story Maps Life Cycle
From custom beginnings to templatization: The evolution of a Story Map template
Story Maps can inform and inspire your audience. They combine interactive maps and multimedia content into elegant user experiences. One of the latest Story Maps—Geography Bee: A Global Gallery of Pollinators—uses the context of geography to present a spectacular collection of bee portraits by USGS scientist Sam Droege.
Story Map Journal: A Geo-Multimedia Extravaganza
In July the Esri Story Maps team released the Story Map Journal, a new storytelling app that enables users to combine long-form text with rich multimedia content. Among the app's features:
- A "main stage" for large visuals, including maps, photos, videos, and websites
- A "side panel" that accommodates titles, text. photos, and videos
- A builder function that enables users to create media-rich stories without needing to have either GIS or web development skills
- Ability to switch between layout options, and to make other refinements to color scheme, logo use, and more
- Responsive design, making the app work on all screen sizes including smartphones Continue reading

Another Year, Another 100 Million (or so)
By the time you see the image below it will be way out of date.
From Worldometers, it's snapshot in time of the current world population which, depending on your source, is growing at a rate of somewhere between 75 and 140 million people each year. Proving, if nothing else, that humans are quite prolific.

Creating and Customizing a Story Map — From a Non-GISer
Our friends at GISi recently published a great post about how one of their non-GIS people created a story map. One of our writers had just created a Halloween-themed story map and we thought it would be interesting to learn more about his experience.
Guest Post by Robby Deming
As a writer, I never thought I would create a story map. I have some technical knowledge, but the artistry and rich functionality behind some of our story maps just seemed way out of my reach. After creating The Geography of Horror story map, I'm now proud to say that I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only is it easy to create a story map, but it's also relatively easy to put your own unique touch on one.
Story Maps Speak In Many Languages
Stories are spoken in many languages, and the same is true for Story Maps. The results of a story map competition held at the recent Esri France SIG 2013 conference offered some compelling examples for me.
The winning story map merged themes of culture with urban and industrial heritage, but my favorite was a photographic tour of the Paris Metro. This was a tough selection to make over my second favorite story map about the seasonal migration (or transhumance) of people and their sheep. Of course all of these story maps are in French.

I'm transitioning from avoidance tank to mitigation/control tank via mastery. Fully buffed, I'm pushing 11k mastery. I'm using reforgenator to help me reforge close to hit/exp hardcaps, and while it's not as good as reforgelite (which isn't updated yet), it gets the job done.
Until recently, reforgenator was always reforging excess avoidance into mastery. But now, it's starting to suggest I reforge to haste instead. At first I thought it was a bug with capes because it was the only thing it was suggesting, but now it's multiple pieces.
Is there a mastery softcap after which haste becomes better to stack? I'm aware of people stacking haste, but I've never heard of doing both mastery and haste.
edit: fwiw, I got 2 ring upgrades this week and it seems like 10500 or so is where reforgenator starts pushing haste
edit:Simply clicking off the 3000 mastery buff causes reforgenator to go back to suggesting mastery
Edited by Slalin on 12/6/2012 9:14 PM PST
There's no soft cap that I know of.
It's probably an issue with the addon's stat weights or programming.
81 Human Warrior
Mastery and haste trade blows when it comes to damage reduction. It's probably just trying to keep your stats even. When it comes to haste/mastery there are three schools of theory . Hit/exp then haste, hit/exp then mastery, or hit/exp and a balance of haste/mastery. From what I've gathered on EJ it comes down to personal preference or based on certain fights.
I was doing the hit/exp then mastery scheme and wasn't planning on using haste, but apparently there's a point where haste becomes better than mastery for the mastery scheme. It's real close to 10k because simply swapping mastery elixir for haste elixir made the sims happy. So looks like we're supposed to use haste no matter what for control.
Will be interesting swapping out my 489 mastery stuff for 496 haste stuff. I'm thinking about getting enough haste to reach the first haste breakpoint, then going back to stacking mastery until the sims start having me reforge to haste again, then I'll get the next haste breakpoint, etc
There's no soft cap that I know of.
Maybe. But it kinda makes sense too.
Mastery provides two mitigation benefits...additional chance to block and additional mitigation from SotR. Haste doesn't do anything for block, but it increases the uptime of SotR. Looking at SotR, mastery benefits it additively, whereas haste benefits it multiplicatively. Once mastery is high enough, getting a percent increase in uptime would give more benefit than getting that marginal increase in mitigation instead.
Maybe someone can get Theck to crunch the numbers :/
Edited by Slalin on 12/8/2012 7:24 AM PST
That's what I've always thought about it. I've always wondered why people say you have to choose to stack haste or mastery. Wouldn't the best choice be both?
90 Blood Elf Paladin
No cap on mastery. Its on its own mitigation table now, therefor, no caps. The cap that was once used was when we could CTC cap. That is no longer possible, so the cap is no longer their since mastery acts completely separately.
Both won't yield the same results as purely going for one or the other. The haste/mastery builds both work around heavily stacking haste / mastery to get the most benefits from em.
Well, to be pedantic, it does soft cap when block reaches 100%. :P

Stanley Karnow, Journalist and Historian of Vietnam, Dies at 87tags: obituaries, Vietnam, Chronicle of Higher Ed., Stanley Karnow
Stanley A. Karnow, a nationally acclaimed author and journalist whose seminal books about Vietnam and the Philippines during times of war have been taught in many college classrooms, died in Potomac, Md., on January 27. He was 87 and had been suffering from congestive heart failure.
For more than a decade and a half, Mr. Karnow worked in Southeast Asia as a correspondent for Time, Life, The Saturday Evening Post, The London Observer, The Washington Post, and NBC News.
In 1983, Mr. Karnow published a 750-page book, Vietnam: A History, that focused primarily on the United States' role in that country. Mr. Karnow's work was praised for its straightforward and thoughtful account of a war that began with an attack on a French garrison in 1954 and ended in 1975, soon after the final withdrawal of U.S. service members....

'Slave masters' arrested after 20 rescued from factory
Three suspected slave masters have been arrested after 20 people were rescued in a raid at a factory.
The people were working 80-hour weeks for just £25, producing pictures and frames for a number of major high street companies, police said.
Three men aged 51, 43 and 40 were arrested on suspicion of a forced labour conspiracy and of human trafficking after the factory in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, was raided.
Officers said the workers - who also complained of being physically attacked by their employers - were paid £125 each for their week's work, but were then forced to hand back £100 for rent and travel, leaving them barely any money to survive.
A 24-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of immigration offences.
Seven arrested in child sex exploitation probe
Seven people have been arrested in Greater Manchester as part of a probe into child sexual exploitation.
Six men and a teenage boy are being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit sexual acts with a child.
The arrests took place following raids in the Rochdale and Oldham areas.
Police said the suspects, aged between 16 and 47, were of mixed ethnicity.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Aston said: "The team were initially looking at reasons why two girls, aged 15 and 13, and a 13-year-old boy were going missing from home.
"Officers spoke to one of the girls who suggested they were being groomed between 16 September and 17 October 2014.
"A swift investigation was launched and agencies worked together which has resulted in these arrests across the Rochdale and Oldham areas plus the safeguarding of three vulnerable children."
Whistleblower criticises child sex exploitation report
The long awaited report into child sexual exploitation in Rochdale has been criticised by a health worker who helped to expose the scandal.
Sara Rowbotham has called for a full national inquiry into child grooming as she says the report, by MP Ann Coffey, doesn't go far enough in holding police and social services to account.
ITV News' Correspondent Emma Murphy reports from Manchester.
Calls for national inquiry into child grooming
A former health worker in Rochdale has told ITV News there should be a full national inquiry into child grooming.
Sara Rowbotham helped convict nine Rochdale men of child sex abuse.
Ms Rowbotham says that a report today into the failure of police and prosecutors to catch more abusers, doesn't go nearly far enough.
ITV News Senior Correspondent Emma Murphy reports:
PM: Agencies must intervene early in child abuse cases
The Prime Minister has called for "very early intervention" in cases where police and social services suspect child sexual exploitation.
"Those agencies, particularly the police and social services who often know about these people and know what is happening, they need to intervene and act more quickly," David Cameron said at a Q&A session in Cheshire.
PM: 'Very early intervention' biggest lesson from report
Prime Minister David Cameron has said one of the biggest lessons to learn from the child sexual exploitation report is that "very early intervention" is needed.
ITV News Producer Vincent McAviney reports:
On #coffeyreport PM says one of the biggest lessons is very early intervention, not acceptable for people under 16 to be abused in this way
Rochdale MP says abuse report 'doesn't go far enough'
Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk has told ITV News the child sexual exploitation report "doesn't go far enough".
Echoing the comments made by Rochdale whistleblower Sara Rowbotham, Mr Danczuk said, "If she says this report doesn't go far enough then that's good enough for me."
He said the report, led by Stockport MP Ann Coffey, was "really attempting to shift the blame away from the perpetrators and away from the police, and towards public opinion."
"There is certainly a need to learn [from abuse cases] across the country as a whole," the MP added.
Whistleblower calls for full national abuse inquiry
The health worker who was key in bringing the 2012 Rochdale child sex abuse case to trial has called for a full national inquiry into child grooming.
Sara Rowbotham claimed today's report into child sexual exploitation in Greater Manchester does not go far enough, and stressed that both police and social services should be held to account.
ITV News Senior Correspondent Emma Murphy reports from Manchester:
Whistleblower: Report 'doesn't offer concrete solutions'
The health worker responsible for gathering the main evidence in the 2012 Rochdale child sex abuse case has told ITV News Ann Coffey's report "doesn't go anywhere" to ensuring it never happens again.
Sara Rowbotham said she had "tried hard to make it clear" to the authorities that children were being sexually exploited but that "nobody did anything meaningful" to stop it.
"Ann Coffey's report doesn't go anywhere to address any of that, it doesn't go anywhere to ensuring that that's never going to happen to anybody again," the whistleblower said.
"She doesn't offer concrete solutions, she doesn't absolutely say we have zero tolerance, it doesn't go anywhere to address the injustice and the absolute terror that happened to those children in Rochdale," she added.
Coffey: Abuse response 'shouldn't be a postcode lottery'
Stockport MP Ann Coffey, who led a report into child sexual exploitation, has said the authorities' response to abuse "shouldn't be a postcode lottery".
ITV News Granada Political Reporter Daniel Hewitt reports:
Stockport MP Ann Coffey talks through her report on child sexual exploitation, @gmpcc says it's an important document http://t.co/RphbYVNSgz
"Response to child sexual exploitation shouldn't be a postcode lottery." Children move around, she says. Police teams need to work closer.

Finance Leadership & Development
Professional accountants need to respond to the continually changing expectations of their organizations, the financial markets, and society. In addition, many accountants aspire to finance leadership roles, such as chief financial officer (CFO). As a result, they must fulfill their traditional responsibilities, while increasing their support of strategic and operational decision-making. Through education, life-long learning, and development, they must acquire the right mixture of skills, experiences, and attitudes, including leadership, strategy, business, management, and interpersonal skills.
