Below is the case study for Katwe Business Training courses that started in the Katwe Slum, Kampala, Uganda. The course is now run several times a month across Uganda and elsewhere in the world.
|Project name
|Katwe Business Training
|Katwe Slum, Kampala, Uganda
|Date case study completed
|Contact for more information
|Mike Clargo
For more information on this project contact the TBN office at email@example.com
|Background, purpose and progress to date
|What was the problem / opportunity?
|Many of the poor had taken out Microfinance loans to establish businesses, and most had paid them back, but many of their businesses had stagnated for easily avoidable reasons concerning customer focus & financial control.
|What is the ProjectÕs vision?
|To equip people who want to set-up small businesses with the key skills and understanding necessary to sustain their business & make them successful.
|How is this vision to be achieved?
|Through simple, free basic training materials, which are easy to understand and apply, are practical and interactive, lead to a good business plan, and which can subsequently be cascaded locally by those who have been successful in it, to their friends and neighbours.
|What progress has been made to date?
|The materials have been developed, tested, trained and cascaded in Uganda, and also in Mongolia. Results have been evaluated at the one-year and two-year mark.
|When will the project be self funding, i.e. cost covered by earned income?
|Independently assessed figures on the project in Katwe show a Return on Investment (ROI) of 57,700% in the first year alone.
|What has been the direct and indirect impact of the project to date?
|We calculate that the project has helped to establish a minimum of 470 newly successful businesses in the 30 months since it was initiated. Anecdotal feedback shows a very high degree of appreciation and gratitude for the work, and the cascade process appears to be working fairly well.
|Specifically, how many FTE jobs have been created or sustained?
|Based on a quantified survey of c. 5% of trainees over the past 30 months, we calculate that a minimum of 940 new FTE jobs have been created, each of which feeds, shelters, clothes and educates the trainee and their family.
|How much direct and indirect investment has been made to date?
|Investments have been in plane flights, accommodation, facility rental, the provision of training materials and expenses for local trainers: c. £14,000
|Lessons learned
|What lessons have been learned? What do you know now that you wish you knew at the outset?
|Having a local 'host' who is willing to encourage acceptance of the initial training, and then drive it through their community is key to success.
|Expansion and replication
|What are your plans to expand or replicate the project?
|The project has been replicated in Mongolia, Kenya, Rwanda, and is about to be replicated in Ghana. Other TBN members and some Churches are also using (planning to use) it elsewhere.
|How many FTE jobs do you expect to have been created or sustained in 3 years?
|In Katwe, at the current rate of progress, about 2,000 - 4,000. But in terms of replicating the work elsewhere, my aspiration is that this figure is multiplied by over 100 different locations, each with the same potential.
|What help do you need to achieve your goals?
|People who are willing to find places in the world which would benefit from this basic training and who initiate a new cascade in those places
|Could this project be replicated by others elsewhere? What would be needed to do this?
|Please see above. Success will depend on developing a familiarity with the (simple) materials, identifying a good local ÔhostÕ, building a good local understanding and relationships, and then delivering the materials in a way that the first group of trainees can copy to cascade things further on.
|Are there documents to aid replication in the TBN resource library?
|Yes, and on the www.reconxile.org website, and on the forum (which can be found at http://forum.reconxile.org) Ð Freely available training booklets, flipchart examples, training session plans, guide on undertaking the work, trainer training materials, (some) translations, promotional materials
You can also download this information as a PDF.

The United States looks unlikely to follow through on a threat to relegate Britain to second-class trade status once its ally leaves the European Union, as it weighs the potential costs of undermining the countries' close diplomatic and military ties.
President Barack Obama had warned ahead of Thursday's "Brexit" referendum that Britain would move to the back of the queue on U.S. trade priorities if it voted to leave the bloc, well behind a much-larger U.S.-European trade deal now under negotiation.
ALSO READ OFFICIAL: Juventus Unveils Dani Alves
But in the face of a severe financial market reaction to the vote to leave the EU, U.S. officials are making more supportive statements about the strength of the U.S.-U.K. "special relationship" and stressing that they are still analyzing the impact of "Brexit" on the European trade talks.
Security and trade experts said Washington is wary of adding to Britain's economic pain, which could hamper its ability to maintain its commitments to NATO and U.S.-led efforts to fight terrorism. A poorer Britain may not be able to afford its pledge to spend 2 percent of its GDP on defense at a time of increasing threats from Russia, nor a new fleet of nuclear submarines that form a key part of the West's nuclear missile deterrent.
"The U.K. could become smaller and weaker. If that happens, then you wonder if they can sustain the defense spending and the effort to be globally oriented," Nicholas Burns, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, told reporters after an Atlantic Council event on Monday.
"That's what we worry about with Britain leaving. Britain was the strongest American partner inside the EU."

If you've picked up your Dunedin Airport Car Rental and are driving north to Christchurch or Mt Cook/Aoraki you'll pass through the large country town of Oamaru. Sitting about half way between Timaru and Dunedin, Oamaru began life as a service town for the surrounding farming areas as they were settled in the 1850s. The area had previously been used by Maori groups and early European whalers and was documented by Captain Cook on his visit down the coast in 1770. Once established, Oamaru quickly grew into a busy port town.
And it is now these beautiful old port buildings that have helped build a resurgence in Oamaru as they have been taken over by artists, cafes and galleries to become known as the Victorian Heritage Precinct. This collection of limestone buildings is recognised to be the most complete collection of Victorian commercial buildings in New Zealand and were mostly built between 1865 and 1885. Many are in the rather grand Neo-Classical style and are amazingly well preserved.
There is an interesting mix of businesses in the precinct, including several traditional enterprises that have changed little over the decades. These include a book-binder, soap makers and a beading store. Each year events are held to celebrate this unique place and the businesses and artisans that work there. And to help keep these events as authentic as possible many people dress in period costume to attend. The Victorian Wardrobe now offers a large range, possibly the biggest in the country, of Victorian replica clothing which is available for hire for any of these occasions. Take a look – it is open every Thursday. The Victorian Heritage Precinct is down at the harbour front.
Another popular activity around Oamaru is penguin watching, with colonies of both little blue penguins and the far less common yellow-eyed penguins hidden along the coastline. Little blue penguins can be seen very close to the Victorian Precinct along the town's foreshore where they nest beneath the cliffs. There are tours to see their breeding area during the day or you can watch them come ashore in the evening after a day's fishing at sea when they march up to their burrows for the night. The elusive Yellow-Eyed penguins or hoiho can be seen just south of town at Bushy Beach.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Essay:
Women or Women in Important Historical Moments?
A very fine line separates historical narrative from biographical nonfiction. In the latter, the subject is of prime importance and exploration of the way that the subject feels about historical events is the primary reason for such a text. As to the former, the subject is often a vehicle to exploring the larger conditions surrounding her. Deciphering which tactic is in play in any given text may be a difficult endeavor, only further complicated when the protagonist of an historical narrative is female. In this case, one may be given the impression that the uniqueness, individuality and mere availability of her story may be enough to suggest that the history within is driven by her actions. However, as we consider texts focusing on the lives of Elizabeth Marsh, Madame Caillaux and Eugenia Ginzberg, it becomes clear that their respective biographers were in fact more devoted to delineating history than telling individual life stories. Through the lens of the primary female character in each of these texts, the reader comes to understand more about the moment in history than about the woman beholding it.
As to the question of whether these women are the primary subject of their respective titles, as opposed to central characters in historical narratives, the Colley (2007) text is particularly revealing. This is because Colley makes no attempt to manufacture a narrative elevating the title character. In Elizabeth Marsh, we are not necessarily presented with an 18th century woman whose life helped to propel history forward. In fact, Colley concedes at multiple points throughout her text that the Marsh narrative is often pieced together, that some deductions have been made using genealogy and that not all reported information is confirmed as fully accurate.
None of this damages the value of the text however, because as its prime cause for existence, the text pursues something closer to an historical sketch of a time and place. That the story of Marsh is instructive in helping us to understand this time and place on a more human level is critical to the value of the text. Still, it is difficult to deny that Marsh is essentially a vehicle for exploring this period of history and, furthermore, that the choice of Marsh as a human subject helps to unpack some of our perceptions regarding the life of a woman in the 18th century.
In particular, that Marsh chose to travel and log her experiences immediately contrasts our impression of the quintessential woman of her time. Rather than present us with a female constrained by her moment in history, Colley offers a world history channeled through the subject's experiences. As Marsh travels, the text gives us glimpses of the political, economic and cultural conditions that very much defined the era. This would include the intersection between the subject's life and such catalyzing events as the start of the American revolution. Indeed, the period of British imperialism comes to play a substantial part in Marsh's experiences as she works her way through contexts such as India and Morocco, the latter of which held her captive for a period of three months.
Her capture, in fact, serves as an important segment of the book because it does demonstrate the distinction in her experiences as a woman while simultaneously making the reader aware of the larger forces at play in the world constructed by the author. Namely, we find Marsh under pressure by a young sultan to join his harem of sex subjects. Concurrent to this personal struggle, the Moroccans insist on holding Marsh hostage, demanding that her native Britain agree to establish a proper consul in Marrakesh. Perhaps as much as any other section of the Colley text, this ordeal demonstrates that Marsh is at the mercy of forces far greater than her own volition.
Simultaneously, it identifies some of the qualities that set Marsh apart from her female contemporaries, making her life perfectly remarkable as a vehicle for an historical narrative. According to the Colley text, "at the time of her Moroccan ordeal -- for all her recent gloss of ladylike accomplishments -- she was still firmly artisan in background, and used to the compromises of shipboard life. She may thus not fully have appreciated that her conduct had gone well beyond what conventional middle-class males…would have seen as acceptable in a young unmarried woman." (Colley, p. 72)
To this point, the fact that Marsh is a character in history rather than a shaper of history should not be seen to discredit the individuality or importance of her story. Nor does it blunt the remarkable accomplishments that distinguished her in her time and place among others of her gender. However, it does help us to identify the primary purpose of the text, which is to provide a window into a moment in history. That Marsh's life was remarkable and varied enough to allow such a window is her distinguishing feature in history. This is less a story about an individual woman as it is a story about a point in history in which an individual woman did remarkable things. These remarkable things are cast against the backdrop of a changing world.
The matter of Henriette Caillaux is somewhat more complex than that of Elizabeth Marsh. This is demonstrated well in the text by Berenson (1993), which recalls a rather memorable chapter in French history. Indeed, the Caillaux story is a remarkable passage of political intrigue and drama which unfolding in front of the French public in the early 20th century. Recounting the events leading to Caillaux's premeditated murder of a journalist responsible for publicly discrediting her husband and France's Prime Minister. Rather than see her husband's life or reputation lost in a duel with the journalist, Caillaux chose to sacrifice herself by ambushing the journalist in his office with a pistol.
The murder became a highly celebrated case and, because the actions around which the Berenson text revolve seem to have been initiated by the female protagonist, it is tempting to think of this as a book about a woman in history. But a closer consideration instead reveals that even in light of her dramatic actions, Caillaux is a character who is largely moved by history rather than vice versa. In fact, what is so distinct about this chapter in history is that even in her most dramatic and defining behavior, Caillaux presents herself as having largely been out of her right mind. In other words, even in the act of murder, the character feels that she is not fully in control of her actions. She finds herself being moved by events, external forces and her own emotions.
According to the Berenson account of her trial, "despite all her efforts, she lost control. Unconsciousness triumphed over consciousness, impulse over will. 'The idea of premeditation is absurd,' declared Les Hommes du jour. 'Psychologically, what we have is a poor insane person incapable of controlling herself.'" (Berenson, p. 42) This portrayal would be reinforced by Caillaux's own recollection of events. Here, she presents herself as having been moved by an uncontrollable force, even to the extent that the victim's physical response helped contribute to his death as much as any other force. According to the account, "even with her pistol pointed at Calmette, Henriete Caillaux claimed to have made one final effort to prevent herself from actually harming him, a last desparate attempt to deflect her unconscious impulses from their most potentially grieveous result. 'At the moment when I fired the first shot I experiences an almost imperceptible flash of consciousness and that was to shoot down toward the ground.'" (Berenson, p. 42)
However, when Calmette instinctually dives to the ground, he places himself directly in the path of her bullet. This is a telling passage in the text because it comports with the idea that Caillaux is moved by history rather than functioning to move it herself. In fact, it is her gender that allows this impression to carry forward to its utmost. As a woman, Caillaux is actually acquitted of her crimes based on the logic that the female gender cannot be expected to control its emotions and passions with the same fortitude as can men. Whether this was accurate or not, the legal defense was successful and would ultimately come to define the Berenson text. This shows Caillaux to be the lead character is a story that provides a snapshot at a heady moment in French political history as well as some insight into the way that women were perceived in this time and place.
By sharp contrast to the Caillaux story, which finds a wealthy woman evading justice because of her gender, the story of and by Eugenia Ginzburg is far more inspirational. Hers is the narrative of a woman imprisoned in a Soviet gulag under the dictatorial rule of Joseph Stalin. Right from the outset, this text is easy to distinguish as a chapter of human history in which a woman…[continue]

In colonial America, formal education for girls historically has been secondary to that for boys. In colonial America girls learned to read and write at dame schools.

Billy Corgan Admits He and D'arcy Wretzky Are Friends Again, But Denies Smashing Pumpkins Are Reuniting
Seventeen years after he fired her as the bass player for Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan has rekindled his friendship with D'arcy Wretzky.
Seventeen years after he fired her as the bass player for Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan has rekindled his friendship with D'arcy Wretzky.
Billy Corgan is back in contact with all original Smashing Pumpkins members and claims 'maybe there's the possibility that we will get back together.'
See how we rank the Smashing Pumpkins' studio albums from weakest to strongest.
What does Billy Corgan think of audience members joining him unsolicited onstage? The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist shuts down this stage crasher with one remark.
The original bassist for Smashing Pumpkins said she hasn't spoken to Billy Corgan since he fired her in 1999, but she's open to rejoining the band.
"I'm not gonna go out there and hack around just to reclaim some light that I don't feel has gone out," Corgan said.
A pair of previously unheard 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'-era Smashing Pumpkins recordings have emerged online.
Like musical notes, the individual elements on the cover of Smashing Pumpkins' 1995 opus are relatively meaningless on their own – but together, they tell a beautiful story.
Like most things in life, your favorite bands look infinitely better when they're shrunk constructed out of little plastic Lego bricks.

A life-changing spiritual awakening freed Brian "Head" Welch from a stranglehold of drugs and alcohol and prompted him to leave the highly successful nu-metal band KoRn in 2005. What followed was a decade-long trial by fire, from the perils of fathering a teen lost in depres... Read More

Brian returned to his musical roots with a clear head and a devoted heart. Though his story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself, as long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit.

- Prayers, Jesus & Rock and Roll by Becky on 6/21/2016
What does a meth addicted, well-known rock band member, and Jesus have in common? Quite a bit, as will be discovered in this true story of Brian Welch, also known by the stage name, Head. He was a heavy drug user, often staying high for a week or longer. Brian was one of the co-founders of the metal rock band, KoRn, along with one of the guitarists in that group. KoRn made him millions of dollars, but it didn't bring happiness. Instead he, along with his wife, spent most of their time using meth, along with other drugs, hoping their next high would bring them the nirvana they were seeking.
After his wife left them, Brian became a single parent to their young daughter, Jennea. With those new responsibilities, and wanting to be a good dad, Brian brought her on the road with him along with KoRn. But try as he might, he wasn't able to break free from his destructive lifestyle.
And then one day he became radically saved by Jesus, and was instantly able to walk away from all the drugs. Despite a contract that was soon to pay the band millions of dollars, Brian also walked away from KoRn, giving it all up. He wanted to devote himself to the care and raising of Jennea, and the worship of God. This book is the story of what happened to Brian and Jennea since then.
The relationship between Brian and Jennea really thrived, and Brian's relationship with God deepened. Traveling for mission work took the place of being on the road with KoRn. He also started various music endeavors on his own, eventually forming the band, Love and Death. But there were hard times, too, that included being lied to by a trusted friend. That led to such a loss of Brian's money, that he and Jennea were forced to search their furniture for lost coins hoping to find enough to buy food. They lost their home, and bankruptcy loomed ahead of them.
Slowly, his finances straightened out, and then God surprised Brian by leading him to a reconciliation with his KoRn band members. Could Brian return to life on the road with KoRn, avoid drugs, and be a light for Jesus at the same time? Amazingly, all those things, and more, have taken place. Brian will be the first to say it is happening because he is where God wants him to be.
But just as that part of Brian's life starting improving, his relationship with Jennea disintegrated. Their communication consisted of only heated arguments, and Jennea began to hurt herself, too. That crisis caused Brian to make the hardest decision of his life, get help for Jennea--but possibly at the cost of their relationship.
I am not a fan of heavy rock music, but Brian's story will grab your attention whether you are a fan of his type of music or not. It is easy to identify with his pain as a parent when Jennea pulled away from him, and started making bad choices. Brian's financial situation, a result of betrayal by a friend, along with his own unwise decisions, is also something that many will relate to. Through it all, though, Brian never turned away from God. His faith is strong, genuine and uplifting to read about. Pick up this 5-star book, and discover the story of a dad who loves both God, and his daughter, with endearing passion.

- Inspiring and uplifting by Nicholle on 5/17/2016
This book is so inspiring not just for Christians but for anyone who has ever gone thru anything hard in their whole lives, so, everybody! I am a Christian and though I was never a fan of KoRn, I found Brian by accident in my local library by picking up his first book and reading it and being so inspired. This man has had an amazing struggle but has overcome so much in his life. This book is about his difficulty getting his solo career going and being a single dad at the same time. Making some bad decisions along the way, as do most people, still having faith in God even in the worst of times when most people would have given up. He also struggles with his daughter which most parents have problems with their kids but they really hit some highs and lows . This book had me in tears at times, I felt like I was right there with him. It was a very easy read, it was like having a conversation with him. It's kind of like listening to a friend tell you a story about their life. Sometimes I couldn't read the words through my tears because I was either moved by something or feeling sad with him. This book was amazing! Bravo Brian!!
- Phenomenal Read by Yvonne on 5/12/2016
Once again Brian "Head" Welch has written a book for real people. He lets us know that even though he is strong in his faith, he still struggles and has times where he doubts of God is listening and that's ok. Reading this book made me feel like I wasn't alone in my wondering what the heck is going on in my life and why is God letting all of this happen to me. It made me realize that I just need to trust in God and let Him take control and know that there is a reason and I will come out of it a stronger person in the end.
- God has a plan by Cheryl on 5/12/2016
Many have heard the story about how Brian "Head" Welch became a Christian and left the band Korn (If you have not I recommend you read Save Me From Myself by Brian), only to rejoin the band a few years later. This was very confusing to a lot of Christians. Had he lost his faith? Given up on God? Absolutely not. This book answers the how and whys of his decision. It chronicles Brian's personal journey and struggles he encountered after becoming a Christian. The heartaches of dealing with a daughter in depression, anger issues and financial woes are just a few topics he deals with. Brian is willing to open up and candidly share his story. When things seem bleak, Brian looks to God for healing and strength. An easy read that made me laugh, cry and evaluate my own walk with God.

Snoopers' Charter 2.0
This afternoon at 4.30 I have been invited to give evidence in Parliament to the Joint Select Committee on the Investigatory Powers Bill.
This follows evidence I gave on the technical aspects of the bill to the Science and Technology Committee on November 10th; see video and documents. Of particular interest may be comments by my Cambridge colleague Richard Clayton; an analysis by my UCL colleague George Danezis; the ORG wiki; and finally the text of the bill itself.
While the USA has reacted to the Snowden revelations by restraining the NSA in various ways, the UK reaction appears to be the opposite. Do we really want to follow countries like China, Russia and Kazakhstan, and take the risk that we'll tip countries like Brazil and India into following our lead? If the Internet fragments into national islands, that will not only do grave harm to the world economy, but make life a lot harder for GCHQ too.
The emotional cost of cybercrime
We know more and more about the financial cost of cybercrime, but there has been very little work on its emotional cost. David Modic and I decided to investigate. We wanted to empirically test whether there are emotional repercussions to becoming a victim of fraud (Yes, there are). We wanted to compare emotional and financial impact across different categories of fraud and establish a ranking list (And we did). An interesting, although not surprising, finding was that in every tested category the victim's perception of emotional impact outweighed the reported financial loss.
A victim may think that they will still be able to recover their money, if not their pride. That really depends on what type of fraud they facilitated. If it is auction fraud, then their chances of recovery are comparatively higher than in bank fraud – we found that 26% of our sample would attempt to recover funds lost in a fraudulent auction and approximately half of them were reimbursed (look at this presentation). There is considerable evidence that banks are not very likely to believe someone claiming to be a victim of, say, identity theft and by extension bank fraud. Thus, when someone ends up out of pocket, they will likely also go through a process of secondary victimisation where they will be told they broke some small-print rule like having the same pin for two of their bank cards or not using the bank's approved anti-virus software, and are thus not eligible for any refund and it is all their own fault, really.
You can find the article here or here. (It was published in IEEE Security & Privacy.)
This paper complements and extends our earlier work on the costs of cybercrime, where we show that the broader economic costs to society of cybercrime – such as loss of confidence in online shopping and banking – also greatly exceed the amounts that cybercriminals actually manage to steal.
Internet of Bad Things
A lot of people are starting to ask about the security and privacy implications of the "Internet of Things". Once there's software in everything, what will go wrong? We've seen a botnet recruiting CCTV cameras, and a former Director of GCHQ recently told a parliamentary committee that it might be convenient if a suspect's car could be infected with malware that would cause it to continually report its GPS position. (The new Investigatory Powers Bill will give the police and the spooks the power to hack any device they want.)
So here is the video of a talk I gave on The Internet of Bad Things to the Virus Bulletin conference. As the devices around us become smarter they will become less loyal, and it's not just about malware (whether written by cops or by crooks). We can expect all sorts of novel business models, many of them exploitative, as well as some downright dishonesty: the recent Volkswagen scandal won't be the last.
But dealing with pervasive malware in everything will demand new approaches. Our approach to the Internet of Bad Things includes our new Cambridge Cybercrime Centre, which will let us monitor bad things online at the kind of scale that will be required.
Decepticon: interdisciplinary conference on deception research
I'm at Decepticon 2015 and will be liveblogging the talks in followups to this post. Up till now, research on deception has been spread around half a dozen different events, aimed at cognitive psychologists, forensic psychologists, law enforcement, cybercrime specialists and others. My colleague Sophie van der Zee decided to organise a single annual event to bring everyone together, and Decepticon is the the result. With over 160 registrants for the first edition of the event (and late registrants turned away) it certainly seems to have hit a sweet spot.
Award-winning case history of the care.data health privacy scandal
Each year we divide our masters of public policy students into teams and get them to write case studies of public policy failures. The winning team this year wrote a case study of the care.data fiasco. The UK government collected personal health information on tens of millions of people who had had hospital treatment in England and then sold it off to researchers, drug companies and even marketing firms, with only a token gesture of anonymisation. In practice patients were easy to identify. The resulting scandal stalled plans to centralise GP data as well, at least for a while.
Congratulations to Lizzie Presser, Maia Hruskova, Helen Rowbottom and Jesse Kancir, who tell the story of how mismanagement, conflicts and miscommunication led to a failure of patient privacy on an industrial scale, and discuss the lessons that might be learned. Their case study has just appeared today in Technology Science, a new open-access journal for people studying conflicts that arise between technology and society. LBT readers will recall several posts reporting the problem, but it's great to have a proper, peer-reviewed case study that we can give to future generations of students. (Incidentally, the previous year's winning case study was on a related topic, the failure of the NHS National Programme for IT.)
Four cool new jobs
We're advertising for four people to join the security group from October.
The first three are for two software engineers to join our new cybercrime centre, to develop new ways of finding bad guys in the terabytes and (soon) petabytes of data we get on spam, phish and other bad stuff online; and a lawyer to explore and define the boundaries of how we share cybercrime data.
The fourth is in Security analysis of semiconductor memory. Could you help us come up with neat new ways of hacking chips? We've invented quite a few of these in the past, ranging from optical fault induction through semi-invasive attacks generally. What's next?
FCA view on unauthorised transactions
Yesterday the Financial Conduct Authority (the UK bank regulator) issued a report on Fair treatment for consumers who suffer unauthorised transactions. This is an issue in which we have an interest, as fraud victims regularly come to us after being turned away by their bank and by the financial ombudsman service. Yet the FCA have found that everything is hunky dory, and conclude "we do not believe that further thematic work is required at this stage".
One of the things the FCA asked their consultants is whether there's any evidence that claims are rejected on the sole basis that a pin was used. The consultants didn't want to reply on existing work but instead surveyed a nationally representative sample of 948 people and found that 16% had a transaction dispute in the last year. These were 37% MOTO, 22% cancelled future dated payment, 15% ATM cash, 13% shop, 13% lump sum from bank account. Of customers who complained, 43% were offered their money back spontaneously; a further 41% asked; in the end a total of 68% got refunds after varying periods of time. In total 7% (15 victims) had claim declined, most because the bank said the transaction was "authorised" or following a"contract with merchant" and 2 for chip and pin (one of them an ATM transaction; the other admitted sharing their PIN). 12 of these 15 considered the result
unfair. These figures are entirely consistent with what we learn from the British Crime Survey and elsewhere; two million UK victims a year, and while most get their money back, many don't; and a hard core of perhaps a few tens of thousands who end up feeling that their bank has screwed them.
The case studies profiled in the consultants' paper were of glowing happy people who got their money back; the 12 sad losers were not profiled, and the consultants concluded that "Customers might be being denied refunds on the sole basis that Chip and PIN were used … we found little evidence of this" (p 49) and went on to remark helpfully that some customers admitted sharing their PINs and felt OK lying about this. The FCA happily paraphrases this as "We also did not find any evidence of firms holding customers liable for unauthorised transactions solely on the basis that the PIN was used to make the transaction" (main report, p 13, 3.25).
According to recent news reports, the former head of the FCA, Martin Wheatley, was sacked by George Osborne for being too harsh on the banks.
Crypto Wars 2.0
Today we unveil a major report on whether law enforcement and intelligence agencies should have exceptional access to cryptographic keys and to our computer and communications data generally. David Cameron has called for this, as have US law enforcement leaders such as FBI Director James Comey.
This policy repeats a mistake of the 1990s. The Clinton administration tried for years to seize control of civilian cryptography, first with the Clipper Chip, and then with various proposals for 'key escrow' or 'trusted third party encryption'. Back then, a group of experts on cryptography and computer security got together to explain why this was a bad idea. We have now reconvened in response to the attempt by Cameron and Comey to resuscitate the old dead horse of the 1990s.
Our report, Keys Under Doormats: Mandating insecurity by requiring government access to all data and communications, is timed to set the stage for a Wednesday hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee at which Mr Comey will present his proposals. The reply to Comey will come from Peter Swire, who was on the other side twenty years ago (he was a Clinton staffer) and has written a briefing on the first crypto war here. Peter was recently on President Obama's NSA review group. He argues that the real way to fix the problems complained of is to fix the mutual legal assistance process – which is also my own view.
Our report is also highly relevant to the new 'Snoopers' Charter' that Home Secretary Teresa May has promised to put before parliament this fall. Mrs May has made clear she wants access to everything.
However this is both wrong in principle, and unworkable in practice. Building back doors into all computer and communication systems is against most of the principles of security engineering, and it also against the principles of human rights. Our right to privacy, set out in section 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, can only be overridden by mechanisms that meet three tests. First, they must be set out in law, with sufficient clarity for their effects to be foreseeable; second, they must be proportionate; third, they must be necessary in a democratic society. As our report makes clear, universal exceptional access will fail all these tests by a mile.

OHSU School of Dentistry, 611 S.W. Campus Drive (Marquam Hill)
Oregon Health Sciences University's School of Dentistry is celebrating its 100th anniversary as it gets ready to move into the next millennium. The school is the only academic institution in Oregon that trains dentists and dental hygienists.
In celebration of the past, present and future, the School of Dentistry is opening its doors for the public to see what it's all about.

The event will feature five floors of exciting interactive displays about dental research, education and treatment. Vistors can see what the inside of a tooth looks like with the use of a dental operating microscope and learn more about teeth bleaching. Thanks to the latest computer technology, guests can see what their teeth would look like after wearing braces. In addition, tours of the school's clinics, labs and classrooms will give visitors an idea of life in the academic dental world, or they can experience life as a dentist by playing with a tooth drill. Gourmet refreshments will also be available throughout the school.
At 1:30 p.m., the dean of the school, Sharon Turner, D.D.S., J.D., will provide a forecast for the future of dentistry beyond the year 2000 and cut the ceremonial cake in recognition of the school's centennial.
OHSU's School of Dentistry is proud of its national reputation for producing outstanding clinical dentists who pass their board exams with some of the highest scores in the country. In addition, more than 88 percent of the dentists currently practicing in Oregon graduated from the school.

In the kitchen, there are lots of utensils which can let you in danger of potential accidents. Knife is one of the essential tools and richest in style and features in the kitchen. However, if you don't know how to use it safely and store it carefully, not only are you in difficulties when cutting, dicing or mincing food, but also it can hurt you and your other family members, especially children.
So let's have a look some helpful tips for knife safety and storage and apply them for real time.
How to Use knives safely
- Depending on your tasks and the foods, you should use a suitable knife. There are various types of knives which are used as utensils such as: boning knife used for removing the bones, carving knife utilized for carving large cooked meats and bread knife for cutting bread…
- Always keep knives sharp. You should regrind all your knives since a dull knife can be more dangerous to use.
- Use a stable surface. Avoid leaving knives loose on work top surfaces as they can be accidentally pushed off. Wood cutting board is always the best choice for cutting and whittling. Other types including plastic or grass cutting board can make your knives dulled rapidly. You should clean cutting board carefully after using it. It is recommended to have separate cutting boards for raw foods and cooked foods.
- Always keep knives and hold them carefully when washing up. It's better to wash it up separately instead of throwing it in the sink which is full of dishes and plates. After that, dry them before storing them.
- Always keep knife in a sheath. If you want to carry a knife, wear it on your belt with the blade pointing downwards instead of putting it in your pocket.
- Don't try to catch a falling knife. When we see a thing falling, we tend to take it under our inertia. Remember this rule if you don't want to hurt yourself.
How to Store knives safely
You have already known how to use knives safely. But wait! Do you know the safe way to store them? If you leave them carelessly somewhere in the kitchen, you can put yourself or anyone at risk. One important rule is that always keeping your knives out of reach of small children.
4 ways available to store your knives are hanging them on the wall, arranging them in a drawer, using knife bags or putting them on the counter.
Hang on the wall:
Using a magnetic knife strip mounted on the wall is an amazing ideal to store your knives. If you have space, this method makes it easy to observe every knife and don't waste your time searching for the one you need. One thing you should keep in mind is that just using a magnetic knife which has the magnet strong enough to avoid snapping the knife to the bar, then preventing from chipping the knife.
Use a drawer
In case you can't suspend your knives on the wall, using in-drawer storage for your knives is the way to go. You should arrange your knives in an order to protect your fingers. Nowadays, for maximum flexibility, it is easy to find a drawer with different slots that can fit your plenty of knife sizes.
In-drawer knife storage allows you to keep your knives out of the counter area; however, it is not safe if you have children. As an alternative, you could use a lock on your knife drawer.
Use knife bags
This method is relatively common with people who always travel with their knives such as chefs. Using a knife bag or roll make them do look cool and professional. On the other hand, it is such a big pain for using these bags and rolls in kitchen. No one wants to waste time to find a knife in a bag and then, clean it up and store it back again.
Put on the counter
It is truly helpful to use a counter-top knife block when you have a spare counter space and you don't want to keep your knives out of your work surface. Some counter-top knife blocks are made with a diagonal; although, you can slide knives at an angle, a lot of space is taken up on the counter. Otherwise, you can select a block with different slots at the top which can save space and give a clean and elegant look. When you slide the knife, don't press the sharp side of the knife against the wood. It will help you to protect the sharpness of your blade.
In a nutshell, there are various options for storing your knives safely. You can select the best way depending on your kitchen space, your favorite and importantly your budget. Furthermore, it is much necessary to know how to use and dispose knives securely.

Housing Affordability out of Reach in Washington, D.C.
I've written about gentrification for The Grid before, but the displacement of low income residents in relation to rising rents, while disconcerting, is actually a piece of a much broader paradigm moving into place all over the country – a full blown housing affordability crisis. In Washington, D.C. the average rent has risen 10% since the recession. And D.C. is not alone as cities all over the country are beginning to exhibit a similar disparity between housing and income.
The result is that it is becoming increasingly difficult for working and middle-class Americans to live in places that offer a mix of quality housing, employment, and recreational opportunities. And if the middle-class, a socio-economic cohort that politicians in this country have committed to praising whenever the opportunity presents itself, cannot afford to live in a traditional neighborhood then our cities are truly in threat of being overwhelmed by corporate interests, and being correspondingly homogenized. If this happens, cities will cease to be the places of vibrancy and opportunity that they have long been regarded as.
In D.C., this is evident in the ever increasing presence of luxury condos and apartments. This is not to say that luxury real estate is bad for the city. The problem is that the system accommodates a developer's interests above all others. The result is a profit-centric approach to construction, rather than a citizen-centric approach. One manifestation of this reality is the overwhelming presence of banks within a neighborhood. Not that banks are bad either, but they're boring. The presence of two or more banks across the street from one another is the universal signal that a neighborhood's vitality has been surrendered to corporate interests, who are maximizing their per square foot rent opportunities by leasing to a safe, wealthy tenant.
Another problem is that affordable housing is hardly affordable any more. A brand new two bedroom affordable unit in my neighborhood, Columbia Heights, rents for roughly $1,700. The income restriction requires that the two people living there make a combined $68,000. After the math, that works out to about a third of their income being spent on rent alone. Factor in transportation and sustenance, and the question that stands out is, how are they going to save money? Or plan for retirement?
On the one hand urban planners are excited about new revenue streams coming from high-wealth real estate. Yet, on the other, there is a divergent feeling of angst that the city may be in the process of losing the very essence of its greatness, which is the diversity and richness of culture that has made it such an appealing place to begin with. But what, if anything, should be done in a "hot" real estate market like D.C.? With so much redevelopment pressure surely the District can leverage the desire to build within the city to ensure that all of its residents are being provided for. The question is, what are the levers that will accomplish this?

Rick Rybeck says:
Given the attractiveness of locating one's home or business in a vital, compact community, what levers can help make these locations more affordable to the vast majority of residents and businesses?
Part of the answer is to remove subsidies for sprawl. If development is more compact, less infrastructure is needed and this reduces the per capita tax burden. Another approach is to remove tax penalties that needlessly inflate the cost of housing.
The property tax on buildings is typically about 1% or 2% of value. This doesn't sound like much. But unlike a sales tax (that is paid only once), a property tax on improvements is paid each and every year that an improvement adds value to a property. Over time, this stream of tax payments can have the economic impact of a one-time sales tax of between 10% and 20% on construction labor and materials. This is a huge cost penalty for affordable housing.
Fortunately, some communities are rectifying this problem. They accomplish this by reducing the property tax rate on privately-created building values and increasing the tax rate on publicly-created land values. The lower rate on buildings makes them cheaper to construct, improve and maintain. And less costly buildings (and rents) are beneficial for residents and businesses alike.
Surprisingly, the higher tax rate on land values helps make land prices more affordable as well. Unlike buildings, land is not produced. So the tax on land is not a cost of production -- it is a cost of ownership that makes ownership less valuable. This takes some of the profit out of land speculation and reduces the speculative demand for land, thereby reducing its price. And, where public goods and services are plentiful (and land values are high), the high land tax encourages owners to develop these sites. And high-value sites tend to be close to urban infrastructure amenities (like transit) which is where we want development to occur.
Thus, without sacrificing any revenues, these communities have utilized a tax shift to create economic incentives for more affordable and compact development.

It was a great experience for my daughters and for us too. They discovered new species being found in this museum collection!
Since september 2016 Naturalis proudly owns one of the finest T-Rex skeletons in the world and the City of Leiden is proud of it! "T-Rex in town"
The visit to the museum isn't cheap (that's why the fout dots instead of five) because the most of it is temporarily closed but what a Dino! I think it's worth the money...
Very nice museum to bring your children and get them entertained with all sort of things about animals, science, life and nature. It extends on 3-4 floors. Interactivity is the nicest thing. Interesting for adults too.
As the museum is currently being renewed, the current exhibition is rather small. However, the most complete T.rex skeleton in the world (combined with 'living' displays of various dino's) makes up for this. The skeleton is impressive and a real attraction to kids. The interactive dino games and 'fossil' digging are great as well.
Be advised that the T.rex will...
It's pretty big and has a lot of information about everything. They had all kind of animals dissected, which I found pretty creepy 'cause I'm not a big fun of taxidermy, but it was really impressive. I loved the play area. Nice for adults and kids.
If you are interested in ancient historic biology...Its absolutely awesome. fossils from 200 million years old, dinosaur skeletons..I took my daughter of 9 there, and she loved it. Lots of things to see and learn...and not only for children. Planned our next trip to see the T-Rex soon!
We took oud Son to see the T-rex with two of huis friends on a Sunday. We reserves an entry time several weeks before and we're looking forward to the visit.
Somewhere we had seen that the visit would be easily 90-120 minutes, but we struggled to keep the boys in the museum for 50.
While seeing the T-Rex is...
Great visit - especially if you have smaller kids. You can decide how intense you want the information and spend an hour to three hours very easily at this great museum. Exhibits are informative and well maintained.
...and, once discovered, we will never forget it. We had been already twice in a short while and we will go back, because Naturalis has so much to offer and so many news, as the purchase and exhibition of the T-Rex since...yesterday! The prehystorical section of the museum is really fascinating. The museum is a space well designed: each floor...
Visited on a wet Sunday in August
So for UK visitors not much in English but it didn't seem to mind great layout of dinosaurs and how the earth evolved .
Spread over 5 floors lots to see,was busy but not crowded it's a bit of a walk from the car park.
Think it was 54 euros including parking two...

The Destructors were a civilization from another galaxy in Keshiri legend. They came from another galaxy to the galaxy every few eons to eliminate civilization and return things to the primitive stage.
It has been believed the Destructors were myths until 13 ABY when evidence was found on the world Kesh that they came to the galaxy before, and according to Chiss recirds, the Chiss Empire had a war with the Destructors in 1,000,000,000 BBY which was known as the Yuuzhan/Destructor-Chiss War, which led to the Empire's formation.
