Kotak ACE Investment is a type I unit-linked insurance plan (Ulip). It's a vanilla scheme that offers a wide array of investment options and riders. However, it's only the equity-oriented funds, including classic opportunity, frontline equity and balanced funds, that have projected a good show.
COST STRUCTURE: Kotak claims ACE to be an investment-oriented Ulip and so, has kept the cost structure low. This allows more premiums to get transferred to the fund account and thus, reap benefits for policyholders in the long term. The mortality charges of Kotak ACE are nominal at 1.1 times the standard LIC charges. The only charge that may be heavy on investors' pocket is the fund management fee that is alike for all investment options, when generally the FMC on debt and money market funds are charged low.

A Hunger Artist
by Franz Kafka
The Circus Supervisor
Character Analysis
The circus supervisor has the dubious honor of receiving the hunger artist's last words. Unfortunately for the hunger artist, the supervisor seems more interested in cleaning up the mess in the cage than he is in appreciating what the hunger artist has to say. Like the artist's former manager, the circus supervisor has a conversation with the artist that only he can hear: the others hear what the supervisor says, but not what the artist whispers. And like the artist's former manager, the circus supervisor indicates to the others that the artist is mentally ill. What do you think? Do you trust this guy?

By Sgt. Tiffany EvansMarch 25, 2010
Fort Drum community members gathered March 10 to honor graduates of the Warrior Leader Course, which teaches troops the skills required to lead, train, fight and accomplish the mission as noncommissioned officers.
Guest speaker for the ceremony was U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Fort Drum Command Sgt. Maj. Alexis A. King.
During the ceremony, King spoke about what graduates had learned during their two weeks of training.
"For the past 15 days, the men and women of this graduating class engaged in training (that) included topics such as leadership, problem-solving, developmental counseling, map reading, land navigation, physical fitness and hands-on evaluations," King said. "At the tail end of the course, they had an opportunity to execute a check on learning by meshing and demonstrating everything they had learned into a highly realistic field training exercise."
The command sergeant major shared a humorous story about his wife and their anniversary to illustrate the importance of family support.
"Since the day I was born, I have faced many stressful and near-death experiences that have changed my life one way or the other. For instance, just last year, I forgot my 11th wedding anniversary," King said.
"The point I'm trying to make is that no matter how many times we miss an event or special occasion, our Families continue to support us. They understand that without their support, we would probably fail at our mission."
He also discussed the importance of being an NCO, saying it isn't just about being promoted.
"Becoming a NCO is more than just a promotion; it is an indoctrination into a brotherhood of leaders known as the backbone of the Army," King said. "It is a membership into a prestigious organization possessing a wealth of historical heritage that dates back to the days of the Roman Empire."
Next he spoke of communication, counseling, the Army values, NCO Creed and self development. King listed defined all seven of the Army values: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage.
Finally, King shared a piece of wisdom with the audience that had been passed on to him from a former commander.
"I have spent the last few minutes discussing your accomplishments at WLC; I've given you a brief historical perspective of the NCO Corps and provided you with a few pointers to assist you in your development as junior leaders," King concluded.
"A great brigade commander, Col. David Rubenstein, now Maj. Gen. Rubenstein, once said, 'The greatest sin we can commit against the American people is to send a group of untrained Soldiers into combat.' As squad leaders and team leaders, you have the moral obligation - the duty - to prevent this from happening. I encourage you to train future leaders today, not tomorrow. Climb to Glory! Care enough to make a difference! Army Strong!"
After sharing his remarks, King helped honor the graduates.
Spc. Jerry A. Gustafson, B Company, 277th Aviation Support Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, was named Distinguished Honor Graduate for earning the highest academic average.
The John D. Magrath Leadership Award went to Spc. Amber L. Williams, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 91st Military Police Battalion, 10th Sustainment Brigade.
The commandant's inspection winner was Spc. Benjamin J. Shipp, C Company, 3rd General Support Aviation Battalion, 10th CAB. Instructor of the cycle was Staff Sgt. Christopher M. Considine.

Rain And Storms Mainly Along CoastUPDATED 10:41 PM CDT Aug 25, 2014
An upper low moving west will increase our winds and rain chances along the coast. Highs Tuesday will be near to the low 90s. Rain chances are low for the Northshore. Along the coast we have a 50% rain and storm chance.Video Transcript
A weak cold front is stalled offshore. We also have an upper level low south of the coast moving west. Some rain and thunderstorm activity has popped in the Metro area moving WSW. There is not a lot of lightning, but some is happening. Expect some widely scattered activity overnight, with the best chance closer to the coast. Here is a look at the forecast model. It shows the rain that's happening now continuing to move to the west and dissipating. Going into the day tomorrow, rain and storms will fire up as we heat up. The best rain and storm chance will be on the South Shore. I have some great twitpics to show you. Kaki sent in this sunset shot from the Pass with crepuscular rays. Brighton sent in this beautiful sunset shot over the Marsh in Slidell. Ken in Houma sent in this shot of the sun reflecting on the clouds. The high today at the Airport was 90... that's a lot cooler than yesterday when it hit 95. Thanks to the clouds today it was not as hot. Highs were in the upper 80s to mid 90s. Right now we're in the mid 70s to mid 80s. We're about 4-8 degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. We still have a heat index near 90 in a few locations thanks to the moisture in the air. Morning lows will drop into the low to mid 70s. Hot tomorrow, but actually close to average. Highs will be in the low 90s. The best rain chance will be along the coast. Metro area is about a 20-30% chance and the Northshore about a 20% rain chance. Cristobal is now a hurricane. Max winds 75 mph. Moving slowly NNE 2 mph. 655 miles SW of Bermuda. Rain chances will be close to average for Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain chances begin to go up Thursday into the Weekend. It's a 50% rain chance over the weekend...could be rainy on the coast too ...will keep you posted.

Does it Matter?
by Siegfried Sassoon
Does it Matter? Warfare Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
For they'll know you've fought for your country
And no one will worry a bit. (14-15)
The people know the soldier has fought for his country, but what about the soldier? Does he know that? The question's left unanswered. And what's with the whole not worrying thing? If fighting for one's country makes the soldier the way he is (blind, legless, forever changed), that seems like a pretty big cause for worry. Something just isn't right with the way people think about war in this poem.

Two women were sentenced Tuesday on their convictions for taping a toddler to the floor at a day care.
Alicia Lyons was sentenced to 30 days in jail, which she may serve only on weekends, and ordered to attend a five-year diversion program for her conviction for criminal abuse.
Justina Rogers received a two years of conditional discharge, and if she violates terms of her release she'll be ordered to spend 12 months in jail on her conviction for endangering the welfare of a minor.
Investigators said the pair used duct tape to secure an 18-month-old boy to a floor mat to get him to sleep last year at Mustard Seeds Day Care in Ludlow.

When You Reach Me
by Rebecca Stead
When You Reach Me Chapter 53 Summary
Things That Blow Away
- Miranda gets up the next morning to write the letter. She starts at the beginning, but then starts wondering why the Laughing Man had his head under the mailbox all the time.
- She goes out to inspect and underneath finds their house key and a pencil drawing of a woman. She recognizes it as Julia.
- Julia and Marcus! It makes sense what the Laughing Man said before: "I'm an old man, and she's gone now" (53.11).
- Miranda knows Marcus was ready, but is sad all the same. She leaves the drawing underneath the mailbox.

- Wednesdays at 7pm: Vigil Against Iraq War on the corner of Park Avenue and Highland Street.
Preliminary election Sept 11
There's a preliminary City Council election in Worcester September 11. Among other races, there are 18 people running At-Large, and this preliminary will narrow them down to 12 for the final election. You get to vote for up to six candidates. I wish I knew more about game theory, because there might be some interesting angles here. I like more than six of the people listed, but I'm only really interested in about one or two, so I won't be voting for six. Not worth the risk to my faves. If you're one of those types who likes to vote against incumbents on principle, the City Clerk is making it a bit more difficult for you, by not listing incumbent status on this ballot. (It's listed on other, regular ballots.) I suppose you could learn the names of your City Councilors, but it's not easy; there aren't any outsized personalities at City Hall nowadays.
- The At-Large incumbents are Irish, Lukes, Petty, Rushton, Perotto, Rosen, and Toomey.
- Worcester Magazine has an interesting list of how much money the candidates have raised. Several challengers have raised 5 figures; the only 4-figure incumbent is Gary Rosen. The only incumbent I've heard described as notably vulnerable is Joe Petty.
- The wiki list of candidates has been updated to reflect who is and is not on the actual ballot.
- Real Solutions has released a Voter's Guide (pdf) to the candidates.

Hmmm. Dinner with the President or a night watching choke holds on TV? The choice is easy for Michael Clarke Duncan. "I love the WWF," says Duncan, 44. "I'm so into it. When I got an Oscar nomination [for The Green Mile], President Clinton invited me to the White House, and it fell on Monday night, which is RAW. I told my manager, 'What have I told you? Schedule Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday!' And I did not go. Six months later I got an invitation for Thursday, which is Smackdown!, so I still did not see the President." Duncan didn't pass up the opportunity to do some atomic body slams as the nemesis of WWF champ The Rock in The Scorpion King. But could he hold his own against the wrestling icon without a script? "He's 6'4" and 270 lbs.," Duncan says. "I'm 6'5" and 325 lbs. And that's the tale of the tape. End of story."
Practical Magic
On The WB's Charmed, Rose McGowan plays a demon-fighting witch empowered to move objects with her mind. Some things, however, aren't so easy to maneuver. "I did a show where my breasts grew from a C cup to bigger than Dolly Parton's," says McGowan, 28, who gets zapped with a breast-enhancing curse. "I don't even know what letter it would be, they were so big. I had to go around all day with these giant balloon things on my chest. We were shooting in the Valley, and it was about 110° outside. It was really uncomfortable." It's safe to say McGowan won't be opting for any surgical enhancements of her own. "It was so hard to move my arms, even to shake someone's hand. The boobs got in the way. But the crew loved it."
Hair Piece
For Patricia Arquette, nothing tops the rigors of playing a woman with copious hair growth in Human Nature. "There was human hair glued all over me," says Arquette, 33, who endured six hours each morning in the makeup trailer. "It was so itchy, and the gross-tasting glue was really sticky. It was disgusting. I'd slump off the set, and the crew would say, 'We never thought a girl would look pretty with so much hair.' " But that wasn't the worst of it. The role called for her to run naked through a forest in Pasadena. "I'm very uncomfortable with nudity," says Arquette, who costars with Tim Robbins and Rhys Ifans. "Besides, we got poison oak all over, so we suffered. Tim got it really bad, and so did the crew. But I got mugwort and white vinegar, and I made these hippie salves for people-'Everyone come over at lunch, and I'll wrap your poison oak in mugwort.' "
Paternal Instincts
Don't expect Hugh Grant to sign up for diaper duty now that ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley has given birth to her first child. "I don't want to be a surrogate father," Grant, 41, told Britain's Empire magazine. "I try to be supportive and muck in like all her friends, but when I read that I am volunteering myself as father and midwife, that's not the case at all." Grant, who portrays a bachelor in his upcoming comedy About a Boy, admits the single life should come with a curfew. "It's great if you're young," he says. "But if you're 41 it's beginning to get to that point of pathetic old man hanging around discos with the wrong haircut." Acting has its limits as well. "I only [want] to make one or two more films," says Grant. Then what? "I might try and get less shallow. Have a relationship, have some children, write my book, make my own film, stop faffing around."
Kiss and Tell
It has been a good year for British actor Ben Chaplin. First he romanced Nicole Kidman in Birthday Girl. Now he steams up the screen with Sandra Bullock in Murder by Numbers. So how do the beauties compare? "The sex scene with Sandy was fun," says Chaplin, 31. "Nicole is used to them. We did a lot of sex scenes, and you only see a twentieth of what we did. Maybe they will go bigger, longer and uncut for the DVD."

New York Life's George Nichols Named One of Corporate America's Most Influential Blacks By Savoy Magazine
NEW YORK, NY, March 14, 2012 - New York Life announced today that George Nichols III has been named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America by Savoy magazine. Mr. Nichols, senior vice president in charge of New York Life's Office of Governmental Affairs, is responsible for federal and state government relations and the company's Political Action Committee, the largest in the insurance industry.
According to Savoy magazine's recent announcement, Mr. Nichols was named as one of its 100 Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America based upon his exemplary record of accomplishments and achievements in various spheres of influence, his community outreach, and efforts to help improve the community and inspire others. He is the senior executive mentor of New York Life's African-American employee resource group.
The increasing diversity of the company's agents has helped New York Life achieve continued sales growth and the number one market share position in new life insurance premium. Women and cultural market agents made up 57 percent of the company's new hires in the field in 2011. Ms. Rodgers has worked with New York Life's cultural and women's markets in various capacities during her 18-year New York Life career. Most recently, she was involved with strategic planning to increase the company's presence in the women's and Hispanic markets, both top priorities for New York Life.
Mr. Nichols is a member of the company's Executive Management Committee, which is comprised of New York Life's senior executive leadership and assists the chief executive officer in setting policy for the company.
Mr. Nichols joined New York Life as a senior vice president and assistant to the chairman in 2001. From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Nichols was senior vice president in the Agency Department, where he was responsible for overseeing the distribution of New York Life products. In 2003, Mr. Nichols was appointed senior vice president and profit center head for New York Life's AARP Tampa Operations, the largest direct marketer of life insurance in the United States. He was named to his current role in 2006.
Prior to joining New York Life, Mr. Nichols was the commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Insurance, where he was responsible for regulating Kentucky's $10 billion insurance industry. Before that, he was the executive director of the Kentucky Health Policy Board; vice president of marketing for Athena of North America; executive director of product development of Southeastern Group, Inc. (dba Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kentucky); chief executive officer of Central State Hospital in Louisville; and executive assistant to the commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Mental Health/Mental Retardation Services.
Mr. Nichols was Kentucky's first African-American insurance commissioner (1995), the first African-American president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) (1999), and the first African-American elected to New York Life's Executive Management Committee.
Mr. Nichols received an M.A. degree from the University of Louisville, a B.A. degree from Western Kentucky University, and an A.A. degree from Alice Lloyd College. Mr. Nichols served as president of the NAIC and chairman of the International Relations Committee from 1999 to 2000. In 1996, he served as special advisor to Kentucky's Governor, advising on health care policy and economic development for the financial services industry. He resides in Potomac, Maryland, with his wife, Cynthia Jean, and their three children.

Oquirrh Mountains, also called Oquirrh Range, mountain range that extends about 30 miles (50 km) southward from the southern end of the Great Salt Lake, Utah, U.S., overlooking the Tooele and Salt Lake valleys. The mountains take their name from a Goshute Indian word meaning "wooded mountain." The tallest point is Lewiston Peak (10,676 feet [3,254 metres]). The range has been the centre of a thriving mining and minerals production industry for more than a century; the value of the minerals taken from the range has been estimated to far exceed the combined value of those taken in the California, Nevada, and Klondike gold and silver rushes.

Little-Known MERS Faces Big Challenges in Foreclosure Battle
Matthias Rieker reports:
Challenges to the role of a little-known but influential mortgage-record service are emerging as the latest headache for banks in the battle over foreclosure proceedings.
Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, or MERS, is owned by some of the nation's biggest banks and mortgage companies, including Bank of America Corp., Citigroup, HSBC, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It was created to streamline legal record keeping for mortgage sales and securitization.
Now, critics and homeowners facing foreclosure are increasingly challenging, among other things, MERS' role and legal standing in home foreclosures where it acts as legal representative of the mortgage holder. MERS has fought and won legal challenges in the past. But the nationwide epidemic of foreclosures in the wake of the housing collapse will present it with a wave of challenges unlike any it has seen previously.
Trouble for MERS could add risk to banks by slowing down the securitization process, and creating uncertainty during a time when banks are struggling to reassure shareholders and customers. One hedge fund investor said Friday that questions around MERS are adding to his concerns about banks in the mortgage business and are keeping him from investing in the sector.
R.K. Arnold, chief executive of MERS, told Dow Jones in an interview on Sunday, "There is no doubt there will be more litigation" against his organization. But MERS, he said, has already won thousands of cases challenging its legal standing (only losing some due to procedural slips.) Of the new suits, "We will win them all," Mr. Arnold said. "What we won't do is settle; that's our firm's policy."
MERS saves banks money because it eliminates paperwork. When mortgages or mortgage servicing rights change hands, as happens frequently in the mortgage business, MERS stands in for the owners and servicers in county land records. About half of the nation's mortgages are under such arrangement with MERS, Mr. Arnold said.
The system works because the mortgage lien is granted to MERS. It holds the deeds of trust that record the lien on the property, and its name is recorded in the land records. When there is a foreclosure proceeding for a home whose lien it holds, MERS then acts as legal representative for the banks.
On Saturday, Mr. Arnold said in a statement that MERS is "important to keep the mortgage funds flowing."
Some believe MERS has vulnerabilities. "It is predictable that" MERS and the banking industry "is bound to lose some" of the cases against it, said Kip A. Weissman, who advises banks as a partner with law firm Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick PC in Washington, D.C.
MERS' blanket mandate could be challenged in states and counties that require specific procedures in foreclosure proceedings that it may have failed to follow, Mr. Weissman said. Success in challenging MERS' role in a foreclosure could mean the owner of a mortgage holds a loan without claim to the house as collateral, Mr. Weissman said. That result could set off a chain reaction reducing the value of mortgage servicing rights, an asset many banks keep as an investment.
Mr. Arnold disputes all such arguments. MERS complies with all federal, state, and country laws–in fact, in some cases its own standards go beyond. Challenging its legal standing won't impact mortgage servicing rights, he said. "MERS is built on top of the county register," not to replace it, he said.
"Foreclosures are terrible," he said. MERS "is not taking the house. But there has to be a mechanism where the loan is enforced."

I live in an extremely rural area. The local health club, complete with 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, and a bow flex, also has an endless pool. I have really come to appreciate this pool, at the beginning of training I swam like a rock!! But now because of the privacy of the endless pool i have become much more relaxed and have really gotten to work on my stroke. Problem is, I have no clue how far I am going. i have worked up to where I can swim for 5 min w/o stopping, but don't know how far that really is, or how long it should take to swim the 1/2 mile sprint.
Any details for me??
Without knowing your pace or owning an endless pool, that's a tough question to answer. Perhaps this will help, I am a "middle of the pack" swimmer (~100 meters/2 minutes). At that kind of pace it typically takes me about 16 minutes to swim 800 meters (typical Sprint distance). So, I wouldn't concentrate so much on DISTANCE as I would TIME. Even the "back of the packers" are out of the water in 25-30 minutes. If you swim consitently for 30 minutes (a good cardio workout). You'll surprise yourself come race day.
Thank You soooo much, that is exactly what I was looking for!!

Vt. senators push for Saturday mail
Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.

Estes starter in waiting?
Written by | Tom Krasovic | 8:57 a.m., May 8, 2008
Shawn Estes will be in the bullpen today, but Manager Bud Black said Estes "is best-suited to start and we'll see how that plays out."
In others words, No. 5 starter Wilfredo Ledezma, who today will make his first start of the season, probably can't afford many slipups if he is to retain the No. 5 job.
A byproduct to the latest spin of the merry-go-round is that the Padres might lead the league in long relievers. They've got Estes for that role. And Glendon Rusch. And, now, Justin Germano, who was the No. 5 starter until losing the job with a slump that culminated with the three home runs he allowed May 2 in Miami.
None of those three guys is viewed as a late-inning performer in a tight contest. That puts extra strain on the bullpen when those situations arise.
Jim Edmonds is out of the lineup today, apparently because the Braves are starting a left-handed pitcher, but that pitcher is Jo-Jo Reyes, a No. 5 starter, at best, so it appears Edmonds is still in a precarious position with the Padres. The Padres have been dropping a lot of hints. General Manager Kevin Towers declined comment yesterday when asked if he plans to release Edmonds. Black benched him in the ninth inning and replaced him with Callix Crabbe.
Black is stacking his lineup with right-handers today as the Padres try to win the final game of the nine-game trip.

Editorial Overview
This is a documentary portrait of a Hollywood comedy writer cited by many of entertainment's biggest stars as their comedic "secret weapon." Bruce Vilanch is a rotund, hirsute New Jersey native who left a job at a Chicago newspaper in the 1970s to become a gag writer for singer and actress Bette Midler. After toiling for several years in the dying genre of television variety shows and celebrity roasts, Vilanch became a staple of awards shows, scripting one-liners and song parodies at the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys, for such luminaries as Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and Whoopi Goldberg. All three of those stars, and many others, are interviewed about Vilanch's contributions to their work. Of particular note is a national controversy sparked by Vilanch's "off-color" racial remarks written for Ted Danson and Goldberg at a Friar's Club event, and his memorable riffs for emcee Crystal on the one-armed push-ups of Jack Palance at an Oscar telecast. Get Bruce! made Vilanch a more recognizable figure to mainstream audiences, and he became a regular on the TV game show revival of Hollywood Squares. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

whether you like or dislike the national alliance and prime minister somare, the fact is pngs economic growth is the highest in the pacific region even surpassing australia.this is a miracle and whilst private sector and economists attribute this growth primarily to political stability and sir micheals ability to unite and suppress dissent supported by his captain wonderboy arthur somare,it is widely accepted that the world prices for gold & copper and key cash crops which have had years of growth directed contributed to the miracle.some unfairly suggest that whether it was somare or some other wannabe PM aspirant, png economic miracle would have occurred anyway! quite untrue and unsubstantiated.the somare government must be commended for its focus implementation of big picture policies like vision 2020 and putting together critical plans like its debt reduction programs endorsed by the world bank and imf including ausaid.well done again arthur.yes there have been corrupt ministers like pruaitch and corrupt ministers still to face trial in court like peter oniel and paul tiensten.but which government in our short history can claim to have a corrupt free cabinet.it goes with pngs corrupt and systemic culture and simply wont change under any other pm.fact.
so ladies & gentlemen, stop the ridiculous one sided, biased, smear that has been carefully orchestrated by one or two individuals to make it look like there are many, and give credit where it is well overdue and support the good policies of a good effective government like somare as the majority of private sector companies are doing including large multi nationals public companies and the majority of grassroots in png.

Stuff a Duck
August 3 2010, 9:51 PM
The economic boom is a result of the natural resources; a "stuffed duck" could be the PM and still the boom would occur. But if an honest and intelligent PM were in power; the wages for the workers would be K2,000 a week instead of K200 a fortnight.
Also; when the PM had an extra K128 Million; he would fix the hospitals and schools: not buy a bloody Jet Plane for his own exclusive use.
Wake up and cast your eyes around

People from Districts & LLG may ask where is PNG?
August 4 2010, 9:12 PM
89 districts with are without doctors, police, magistrates, poor roades & no bridges, urban areas full of pot holes while Ministers owns overseas homes relocating their families overseas, seeking proper health cares overseas all at the expense of png people.
Health minister now planning to build a K500m hospital in Pom & Transport Minister ready to rehabilitate the jacksons airport for K1.4b at the direction from arthur & father.
The pm fly in the falcon jet worth more then K100m. The economy boom was from the mineral exports with the prices dictated from overseas market. The NA's will never control those prises if they drop tomorrow, the NA has wrecklessly spent all the boom cash to buy the falcon jet, nadp funds which they all stole, resi funds half spent into the ministers districts & provinces and the other half stolen again by the ministers and their cohorts.
Is that the PNG you are talking about?

Where is the kanaka anonymous blogger?
August 4 2010, 10:37 PM
I happen to be a "European Kanaka" who has 2 University degrees and spent the last 10 years of my life in a very close 'grass-roots' study of the Somare Government; who clearly & deliberately practice policies of neglect whilst enriching their own wealth and position.
You are obviously too busy licking bottom to see the facts for yourself.
Fact: Michael Somare purchased a Jet plane for K128 Million Kina; for use by himself, his wantoks and mates.
Fact: The hospitals and schools are in such an appauling state that women are giving birth in the corridors of the maternity ward (many losing their babies) and the children in the malnutrition ward of POM General have no food.
Maybe when you see it happen to your own wife and child, you will get over your "Somare Blindness"
I would think that most "bloggers" are sick and tired of stupid, blind fools like yourself; who defend Somare for no other reason than ignorance and stubborn PNG pride.

I remembered my password and logged on..... maybe now we can get somewhere.
Anon: you made a great leap of assumption in calling me a "kanaka".
I am not "uneducated by academic standards"; but less educated than many village people in "natural standards". You would probably call them 'kanaka' and me 'educated'.......but they are probably much smarter than all of us who use computers etc.
Get with the world.... Michael Somare, Arthur Somare, and all of their lackeys; ARE DONE.
The "age" of Somare Dictatorship is well and truly over........as are those of his "mini me's"; like Mark Maipaki, Chris Haiveta, Paul Tientsen, Patrick Pru-'shait', and the list goes on.
The world is much bigger than PNG; and the world is watching PNG. The "Big Man" in PNG is 'nothing' in the world. They are being judged on their "real" performance now.
Somare could not evade a motion of "no-confidence" in Parliament, without the blatant use of his goon Nape. The whole world saw it and despises him for it.
Who are you to call intelligent and 'fair-minded' people "kanakas"?????
You hide behind "anon"......you lose all credibility right there!!!!

Let us face it, 89 % of our people are dying for lack of simple services
August 5 2010, 9:45 AM
For argument sake, am very supportive of Mum's comments.
There is no prosperity with our 89% of our rural folks who hardly spend K3 a day. Who have no water, no electricity, no paid public transport or transport infrastructure, no school teachers, no access to nil stocked medicinal drugs at their nearest health centre, no police presence, no telephones, no access bank services, they hardly have any choice at all for services, or generally no government subsidy for anything at all. The indicators reveal a lot about the real and true PNG.
For somare supporters, please do not tell us about prosperity when our people are dying just for the want of services. The King of Tonga died in New Zealand seeking health services and longer life, let us not be surprised that the Grand Chief of Papua New Guinea will equally die in Singapore or Australia. Why? The Late Sir Brian should have died here in PNG. Why?
It just demonstrates the kind of confidence or belief or lack of it that our Elected Leaders have in their established states and infrastructure. They pump in money to have second rated services and second rated infrastructure for the people that elected them. What contempt!!!! Not to mention also that all their children were educated abroad. They have overseas businesses and overseas properties!!!
Let us never be too proud of any type of success or prosperity when we can not simply provide for ourselves and our simple bottom line here in PNG.
In fact, as an educated Papua New Guinean who has visited over 40 countries, I am at times ashamed of the indicators of our PNG that has digressed since Somare has been ever around as PM.
I have nothing against his children, but I really feel for our 89% who do not have any form of government subsidy and are dying for the lack of simple services.
I pray for a better PM.

AGree with MUM,
After more than 30 years after Independence I feel for my people, they are still running down to the stream to wash and fetch water. There is no electricity in all rural district and it appears there wont be for a while yet. The road if it is there is NOT Vehicle worthy yet I pay road worthy certificate for my truck to run on it.
My people die because if they are just able to make it to the local run down Aid post, 90% of the time there is no medicine.
Then I'm reminded by the original writer and his supporters that PNG is in boom times because of the SOMARES, who also says that if the services are not reaching the very people that need it, its not the CEO's fault but his administrators.
If memory serves me correct Mr T.SOMARE has been in politics for as long as the country has been independent and Until now the pre indepedence infrastruture has been neglected to a state of disrepair.
AND YOU MR SOMARE SUPPORTER TELL ME not to blame him.
I will leave it here for now.

png economic growth is a miracle move by somare
August 5 2010, 9:22 PM
Ples mangi,
It is good to read your post that at last you could see there is development taking place in your area. Congratulations to you !
The bulk of the population of Papua New Guinea come from the rural and remote areas of PNG where consecutive governments have failed to develop the basic services as better road infrustructure, health and quality education. These rural communities are uncivilised living in bush huts and lighting firewood, with basic pit toilets and using streams or running water for drying and bathing.
The disadvantage rural communities where the bulk of the population is are the priority areas to develop than the buildings you see in Port Moresby or Lae. Do you claim a few buildings and seasonal employment resolves the much needed health and road problems the entire bulk of the population experience ?
If you read in news paper (post courier) articles there are people in the remote Simbu area walking long distances and spend half of the day trying to get into the nearest towns. They claim the roads where built by the colonial Australian Government and these roads were never maintained with the gravel washed away leaving the bare soil exposed to the sun while the drainages where covered in long grass/bush narrowing the road size.
Systematically, when you study close into the government, what the government of today is enjoying is a free ride arthiteched by the Morauta Government in 1997. This is not Somare or his son who that initiated this that they are enjoying the outcome today.
In 1997, the kina was at the edge of collaspe, inflation was high (this was because Sir Bill Stake was at fault). Sir Mekere Morauta was elected as Prime Minister and he was the one who made couple of chances to save the kina from the edge of collaspe. One of the policies he initiated was the privatisation bill that we had alot of critisms from blind people of your standard including the Somare party who did not support the idea after much persuation.
Another good idea was the Land Moblisation policy introduced by the Pais Wingti government. Today many people support after clearly understanding the idea. But when first introduced some so called intellectual university students confused the people which all kinds of ideas and in the event 3 students were death in a students boycott. Sitting back today looking at this, I feel stupid and brainless in the sense no university student could understand the benefits of the Land Mobilisation policy. Today land mobilisation policy is the key to developments in PNG.
Intergrity on Political Party's Bill was another one Mr Somare did not support when first introduced by Morauta Government and he walked our of the chamber in protest. Again today he enjoys the priviledges and realises the importance and benefits of the Intergrity of Political Party's Bill was to stablise the government. Instead of thanking the people who initiated the idea, he blames them for making a mistake!!!
So my friend ples man (are you really a ples man),what good can we say about Somare ? Somare is only good at gaining independence for the country but lacks vision on how to develop it. For the last number of years he has been Prime Minister, I can not see any change he put through. He can not run the economic development of the country, nor could he make changes or new policies that can benefit PNG well.
The LNG project is not something that this government is initiating. LNG is a bunch of hungry monster coming in to PNG to swallow the oil & gas we have.Even in the absence of this government and any other government in office, the project would still go ahead because we had the much needed resource on our land. No matter what, any other properous developer like LNG would still enquire. After swallowing they'll be gone leaving us high and dry. So where are our strategics after the LNG financial power is gone ? What has Somare and his team put in place to maintain the PNG kina, employment for locals, and maintain the new roads and projects built by LNG.
But there are more to it. As the saying goes, when there is a moment you enjoy, there is always a problem waiting for you out there. Today we boast about LNG and Somare Government and enjoying the short term benefits but the aftermate is waiting for us there. Be prepared to face it.
When you talk about changes and development, let the man trutru blong ples come out and say, they experience development change. Ino ol whiteman olsem yu long Port Moresby & Lae olsem yu long toktok. What you say is hurting us the geniune ples lain. Port Moresby and Lae is not Papua New Guinea, they are small centers. Look at rural communities where the bulk of the population is that is undeveloped and going back to the stoneage days!!!

Sure there may be an increase in economic growth but if that increase is only realized by a minute fraction of the country's population, while the rest seem heading backwards, I don't know but I'll still remain skeptic.
Of course business is booming and increasing at a rate we have never seen. But hey, who owns those businesses? Who is getting the biggest piece of the pie out of it? I think if we look closely, only a few while the bulk of the people don't get anything out of it.

Has anyone gone thru converting their dds to sql ddl? Is DDS a thing
of the past?
On May 2, 3:35*pm, eknight <eknight...@gmail.com> wrote:[color=blue]
> Has anyone gone thru converting their dds to sql ddl? Is DDS a thing
> of the past?[/color]
I currently have a mix. My PF are nearly all DDS, most new LF are SQL
views. I have no plan to convert DDS to DDL at this time.
DDS is not dead yet, but ....
IBM has stated it will no longer enhance DDS, only do bug fixes. But
just as there are things you can do in DDL that you can't do in DDS,
it also true the other way around. For example DDL doesn't support
multi-member files, edit codes, or keyed logicals with select/omit.
Based on my experience, I think DDL will increase in use, but I expect
DDS to be around for quite a while. There is a lot of applications
out there that are still using it (maybe most?), so support for it
will probably be around for years (decades?).
all further development in data definition language will be done in
SQL. The last enhancements in DDS were in release V5R3, to allow 63
digit numeric fields.
All other enhancements where done with SQL. Here a few examples what
SQL DDL provides while DDS not:
1. Identity Columns in SQL tables
2. New Datatypes such as all kinds of LOBs (Large Objects), DATALINKS,
DECFLOAT (in V6R1) and even distinct data types
3. For DDS described physical files data validation occurs as soon as
a record gets read, but there is no validation at write time. In this
way it is possible to copy invalid data, for example with CPYF and
*NOCHK into DDS described physical files. In SQL described tables data
validation occurs as soon as a row will be written, but there is no
data validation if a row is read. In this way it is not possible to
insert invalid data into SQL tables, even with CPYF and *NOCHK.
Because validation happens at write time using SQL tables instead of
DDS described physical files may result in a (huge) performance gain.
4. SQL views are much more powerful than DDS described logical files
are. In SQL views everything that can be done in SELECT statements,
including grouping, (recursive Common Table Expressions CTE) and the
use of scalar functions is possibe, except Order By. It is even
possible to built a view over an other view.
5. Instead of triggers, that allow updating joined tables can be built
over SQL views but not over DDS described logical files.
6. An SQL index can be used with native I/O like any DDS described
keyed logical file.
7. With release V6R1 SQL indexes are enhanced to allow columns that
are not in the base table (for example if a scalar function must be
used to split a date into 3 fields and built an index over these
fields). Also Where conditions the equivalent for select/omit clauses
can be added to SQL indexes. It is even possible to select fields in
indexes and specify a differen format name. In this way only joind DDS
described files with keys must be defined as DDS files. All other can
be covered by SQL.

Radiation Oncology Facts
Radiation oncology is a branch of medicine that treats cancer by using high-energy radiation in the form of photons (such as X-rays or gamma rays) or subatomic particles (such as electrons or protons). About 60 percent of people with cancer receive radiation therapy, according to the American Cancer Society.
How Does Radiation Therapy Work?
Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) works by damaging the DNA inside the cancer cells. When the DNA sustains enough damage, the cells cannot multiply, and they die. The goal of radiation therapy is to destroy as many cancer cells as possible with the least amount of damage to healthy cells.
Why Is Radiation Therapy Used?
The exact role of radiation therapy in your care depends on many factors, including the type, size, location, and stage of your cancer. Radiation therapy may be used as any of these:
- Primary treatment. This means it's the main treatment you receive to cure, stop, or slow the disease.
- Adjuvant therapy. This means you receive it after one or more other treatments, like surgery or chemotherapy, to reduce the risk that your cancer will come back.
- Palliative therapy. This means it's used to relieve symptoms, like pain, by shrinking your tumor.
Your Radiation Oncology Team
A team of health care professionals works together to deliver radiation therapy. A team typically includes these people:
- Radiation oncologist. This is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with radiation. This doctor will prescribe, plan, and oversee your radiation treatment.
- Radiation therapist. When you come in for radiation treatment, this person will position you for your treatment and operate the machines that deliver the radiation.
- Radiation oncology nurse. This is a nurse who will explain your treatment, answer your questions, and help you manage side effects.
Some members of the radiation oncology team work behind the scenes.
- Medical dosimetrist. This person will complete the calculations needed to carry out your treatment to ensure that you receive the exact dose of radiation prescribed by your radiation oncologist in precisely the right places.
- Medical physicist. This person will help plan your treatment and will maintain the equipment used to deliver radiation therapy.
Types of Radiation Therapy
To treat cancer, radiation therapy can be delivered using a machine outside the body—called external-beam radiation therapy—or it can be delivered internally, such as by implanting small radioactive seeds.

The FIA's new international tribunal is set to consider protests against Mercedes and Pirelli's three-day session following the Spanish Grand Prix, after it emerged in Monaco that the team's race drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg had done 1000km of tyre testing using the 2013 Mercedes.
Formula 1 regulations allow for teams to assist Pirelli with development work, but ban in-season test running with current cars.
Pirelli issued a statement on Friday arguing that Mercedes - which had been suffering worse than most rivals with high tyre degradation in the opening grands prix of 2013 - could not have benefited from the test as the tyres used were not relevant to current rubber.
The firm said only one of the 12 tyres tried featured the structural change being assessed as a method of preventing delamination, and that most of the mileage was focused on 2014.
"Pirelli, in development testing with teams carried out in 2013, has not favoured any teams and, as always, acted professionally, with transparency and in absolute good faith," said the statement.
"The tyres used were not from the current championship but belonged to a range of products still being developed in view of an eventual renewal of the supply contract.
"Further, none of the tests were carried for the purpose of enhancing specific cars, but only to test tyre solutions for future championships.
"The use of the car utilised by Mercedes, in particular, was the result of direct communication between the FIA and the team itself. Pirelli did not ask in any way that a 2013 car be used: not of Mercedes nor the FIA nor the teams which, during the year, were offered the opportunity of participating in tests for the development of tyres for 2014.
"The tyres that will be tested by the teams in free practice at the Montreal grand prix have never been used by the teams before."

Design trends are constantly changing in all faculties of life, but none are more personal than the design and décor of your home. 2014 sparks quite a drastic set of trends in the real estate market that will potentially define the home for many years. Think bold, think bright and think vintage.
One of the brightest trends for homes in 2014 is yellow. Yellow walls, yellow fabric and yellow art. Now, the right kind of yellow depends on the general vibrancy of the room, the natural light and the lighting within. You do not want the yellow to be too powerful and resemble a school bus, but you also do not want one that comes across as passive.
Vintage Furniture and Art
The lifespan of trends is usually about 7 years, however, one that has been away for a while is coming back strong in 2014 and that is vintage furniture and art. A vintage, elegant cabinet in an office or an armoire in a bedroom creates a stunning centerpiece in the room.
Smart Homes
In contrast to the vintage trend, smart home technology and automation is making a massive splash in home design. NEST thermostats, automated lights and integrated stands and chargers for smartphones and tablets are big business right now and both homeowners and homebuyers are seeking these modern conveniences in their home.
Male Influence
Men certainly will appreciate the gadgets of a smart home, but 2014 is also expecting more manly touches being added to the home. Men are increasingly taking an interest in design and décor online, and this will translate to the home. The living room will see a strong male influence especially – darker and boxier furniture, and more postmodern additions.
2014 home design and décor trends greatly affect the real estate market, especially if you plan on selling or buying this year. The things that buyers are looking for will increasingly shift towards these concepts over the coming months and into the future as all trends have a lifespan lasting several years.

"The guy … told Mr. Welsh that he was an IBF official," said Mendoza. "But we have consulted several persons at the IBF and they've also said they don't know who this person is."
Schaefer said he does know the man's identity, even though he would not reveal it.
"We know who the man is, but we won't disclose his name until we've spoken to our attornies. But we do know that he is involved with the IBF, and that he does some work with the IBF," said Schaefer.
"We know that the D.C. Commission extended this guy a credential, but that he was not assigned by the IBF in any official capacity. But he was identifying himself in the arena, including to members of our staff, as an official with the IBF."
IBF public relations director Jeanette Salazar told the Associated Press that the governing body wouldn't be putting out a statement in order to "preserve the integrity" of the Jan. 18 hearing into Khan's appeal against his loss. The WBA's hearing is slated for Jan. 19.
"We are not addressing it at all at this point," Salazar told the AP.
Scottie Irving, chairman of the Washington, D.C., Boxing and Wrestling Commission, did not return phone calls by RingTV.com, and Mendoza still is waiting to hear from his organization regarding who the man is.
But during an interview with RingTV.com within a few days of the fight, Irving addressed the notion of a scoring descrepancy on one of the official scorecards.
Irving also discussed the five-or-so minutes of time it took for the cards to be delivered to the ring for the verdict to be announced by Michael Buffer, as well as referee Joe Cooper's fouling calls against Khan.
Peterson edged Khan, 113-112, on the cards of judges George Hill of New Jersey and Valerie Dorsett of North Carolina, and lost,115-110, on that of Nelson Vazquez of Puerto Rico.
Welsh was not an official judge but was instead assigned, according to common practice, by the WBA to score the bout as a backup reference. He scored it a draw.
On Thursday, Khan kicked off the controversy by posting a series of pictures on Twitter showing the mystery man at ringside leaning over Welsh several times, even appearing to pick up a scorecard on at least two occasions.
"From Round 6 all the way through to round 12, this guy starts to interfere with what Michael is doing," tweeted Khan, indicating that the man's behavior is "strictly against the rules."
"This man basically pulled out a chair and sat at the front table. It was rather surprising that he was not asked by the commission or by the IBF, with it being an IBF mandatory fight, to be removed," said Schaefer.
"What is even further astonishing that he was seen handling the card of the WBC supervisor's individual per round scorecards. So, it is absolutely shocking that a guy who has nothing to do with the IBF was at ringside handling the individual scorecards."
Peterson has been offered a career-high $1 million by Schaefer for a rematch with Khan.
"I really think the whole world thinks I deserve this rematch," Khan told the AP, "because I know I was treated unfairly."

In the fourth of the Cultural Conversation Series, Empathic Accuracy in Romantic Relationships: Of Course I Know What My Partner is Thinking, or Do I Really? facilitator Professor Minda Oriña provided an opportunity for students to have a conversation regarding romantic relationships, encouraging them to share their own experiences and ideas of an ideal relationship. According to Professor Oriña, romantic relationships are often exposed to situations that require the use of emphatic accuracy on a moment by moment basis. When there is not a good communication between partners, assumptions tend to take place and be the main reason for making certain decisions.As students interacted with one another and with Professor Oriña, they learned to improve the empathic accuracy in their romantic relationships, leaving with a better idea of what would make a relationship succeed, and the importance of good communication in getting to know their partners better.
As Professor Oriña said: When it comes to conflicts "Let it stay in the past and don't bring it out again."
