Named after the official notification given to employees in the US whose jobs are under threat, Pink Slip parties invite the recently redundant to mingle with recruiters and employers in a trendy-but-casual atmosphere. Job-hunters are identified by pink name tags, while job-offerers wear a different colour (in Dubai it's blue). It's a little like speed dating, with potential partners cutting to the chase about what they want from a 'relationship', and swiftly moving on if they're not suited. And while it may not sound conducive to a happening party, some would say it's a necessary part of job-hunting, with unemployment looking likely to remain high in Dubai in 2010.
Matthew Lewis, managing director of recruitment firm Correlate Search, tells Time Out: 'A lot of firms are still not confident enough to be hiring in the first half of the year, and the concern is that this will drag into the summer.' The International Labour Organisation's forecast confirms the same for the rest of the globe.
Lewis, the recruiter, agrees. 'You can't rely on recruitment advertising and applying online here,' he says. 'Most people are finding jobs through networking. You remember people more than you remember CVs.' He's keen to point out that the likelihood of a perfectly suited candidate and employer meeting at a Pink Slip party is not great, but maintains that the slower process of making connections and following up afterwards yields results. 'At one event, two ladies were complaining about the lack of good PA jobs in banks. Another lady across the room wanted a PA job in construction and was saying that all the PA jobs she came across were in banks. So I said to the first two women, "Go and talk to her, she knows!" And if I was looking to fill a PA position in a bank a couple of weeks later, I'd remember that conversation.'
One Pink Slip partygoer, who has asked not to be named, agrees that simply being able to share information and strategies with fellow job-seekers is useful. (She went to a Pink Slip party because she knew the company she worked for wasn't doing well. 'I could feel what was going to happen,' she says. Sure enough, she was laid off soon afterwards.) However, she does complain that there aren't enough employers and recruiters at the parties. You can imagine how this could affect the already downhearted, crammed into a room full of people clamouring to grab the few opportunities available. Still, Sexton counters that it helps just to find out what recruiters are looking for. She even invited a career coach to one party, who helped to point guests down the right avenues for returning to employment.
And despite our anonymous partygoer's criticism, she has some good news to share about the party she went to. 'I was approached by someone at a research company, and I've had two interviews with that company since,' she says. 'I'll find out if I've got it this week.' So it seems that, in some instances at least, Pink Slip parties work. Fingers crossed.
Pink Slip parties take place in Dubai every month. Admission is Dhs100. To be invited to the next Pink Slip party and for details of the next event, visit www.pinkslipdubai.com.

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871
Sometime around 9 PM on October 8, 1871, a fire began in the O'Leary's barn on the West Side of Chicago. In the following days, the fire burned almost four square miles of Chicago's business district.
The cause of the fire is still not known, although Mrs. O'Leary and her cow are often blamed.
However the fire started, this disaster killed hundreds, destroyed millions of dollars worth in property, and left thousands homeless.
From the smoldering ashes, the citizens of Chicago began to rebuild and a new era of building began in the city's history. The new building spurt made Chicago one of the most populous, most economically profitable, and most modern cities in the United States.
The Great Chicago Fire caused huge tragedy, but out of the ashes arose the modern Chicago metropolis.

If you use Keystone Domains in your cloud, chances are people have asked why Domain Admins can't manage projects under their domains via Horizon. Domain and project management in Horizon for Domain Admins will be available in the Mitaka release, and this post explains how to use it with a simple DevStack setup. This post assumes you already have working knowledge of Horizon and Keystone.
The main change needed in Horizon for this to work is https://review.openstack.org/#/c/148082/. There was significant support for Domain Scoped Tokens added to the Django OpenStack Auth (DOA) project as well, and those changes are in the latest DOA release.
Configure Keystone for v3
To begin with, you'll need Keystone set up for v3, meaning that you should be using a Keystone policy file based on the v3 sample policy file.
By default, DevStack sets up the Default domain as the Admin Domain, so you'll set domain_id:default here.
Configure Horizon for v3
In the local_settings.py file, set these values if they're not already set:
OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_MULTIDOMAIN_SUPPORT = True OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_DOMAIN = 'default' CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache', 'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211', }, } SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'
And make sure OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL is set to the v3 endpoint (it should have /v3 on the end).
Install memcached on the Horizon server. On Ubuntu systems, the command will be:
$ sudo apt-get install memcached
Install python-memcached if it's not already installed:
$ sudo pip install python-memcached
You'll need to also use a version of the v3 sample policy file from Keystone for the keystone_policy.json file Horizon uses. We've found that the stable/liberty policy file from Keystone works best in Horizon, as the current one on the master branch uses features that aren't entirely supported by the latest oslo.policy release. See bug 1547684 for details. Again, set domain_id:default here.
Restart Horizon and Keystone to pick up all the config changes.
Create a new domain and assign a Domain Admin
DevStack gives the admin user the admin role on the Default domain, so the admin user can now be used to create a new domain and Domain Admin user in that domain.
- Log into Horizon with the admin user
- Create a new Domain
- Click the Set Domain Context button to work with the new domain
- Create a new user in the domain. Note that the user will have no roles on any projects or domains to start with
- Navigate back to Domains and give the new user the admin role on the new domain
- Log out of Horizon and log back in as your Domain Admin
- Your Domain Admin can now create projects and users under the new domain
This functionality allows you, as a cloud administrator, to delegate project management to domain administrators via Horizon. Domain Admins from different domains will not be able to see or modify Keystone resources within other domains unless specifically given access to do so.
Current limitations
- Horizon doesn't currently support role assignments across domains, such as giving a user in domain1 access to domain2.
- Doesn't support Project Admins managing Keystone projects. In Horizon, project management works best when done by Domain Admins.
- Doesn't support hierarchical project management.
- If using PKI tokens, you'll see errors in the logs which don't affect functionality. See bug 1551977 for details.
Please let us know in the comments if any of these limitations are important to you! We prioritize development based on what makes the biggest impact for users.

Today at its press event to unveil its new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, a rebranding of its Nexus-line of devices, Google also took the wraps off new features coming to its Assistant platform and more. The company highlighted claims that its new smartphones have the best camera of any mobile device yet, including comparing it to the new iPhone 7 camera.
The new Pixel phones are an evolution of Google's previous Nexus line of Android phones with the company having more control over the manufacturing and branding of the device than in previous years, but they are still partnering with HTC behind the scenes. The Pixel phones are the first to come with Google's new Assistant platform that it first unveiled earlier this year during its Google I/O event.
The company also highlighted the fact that it built the phone to be ready for mobile virtual reality with its Daydream platform, and it's offering users of the device unlimited full quality photo and video storage in the cloud.
As for its claims of "the best smartphone camera", Google pointed out a DXOMARK rating of 89 for the Pixel's 12.3 megapixel rear camera, which it says makes the Pixel's camera the best ever in a smartphone. Google highlighted that claim while comparing it to the iPhone 7:

The WHO diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome[37] include:
The WHO diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome[37] include:
A consensus group of experts on SLE, the SLICC, has proposed revised criteria for SLE , Classification as having SLE by the SLICC criteria requires either that a patient satisfy at least 4 of 17 criteria, including at least 1 of the 11 clinical criteria and one of the six immunologic criteria, or that the patient has biopsy-proven nephritis compatible with SLE in the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) or anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies.
Anion Gap
The anion gap provides an estimation of the unmeasured anions in the plasma and is useful in the setting of arterial blood gas analysis. It is especially useful in helping to differentiate the cause of a metabolic acidosis, as well as following the response to therapy. Its basic premise is based on the fact that electroneutrality must exist in the body, or in other words the net charges of serum anions, which includes albumin, bicarbonate, chloride, organic acids and phosphate must equal the net charges of the serum cations, which includes calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.
In clinical practice, the anion gap is calculated using three lab values (Na+, Cl-, and HCO3-).
[Occasionally, you may see an alternative equation:
Anion Gap = [Na+] + [K+] – [Cl-] – [HCO3-]. This equation is preferred by some nephrologists, because of the wide fluctuations that may occur with potassium in renal disease. ]
Serum sodium represents over 90 percent of the extracellular cations, whereas chloride and bicarbonate represent approximately 85 percent of the extracellular anions. It follows then, that the anion gap in normal conditions will be a positive number since the sum of the serum anions used in the calculation represent a smaller value compared to the serum sodium concentration. The normal value for the anion gap is 12 +/-4.
In order to grasp the utility of this equation, lets assume a patient has developed a lactic acidosis. The addition of an organic acid (anion) will automatically reduce the serum bicarbonate level based on a simple acid – base interaction. When we calculate the anion gap in this patient, we will notice that the anion gap has increased or in other words the unmeasured anions have increased relative to the measured anions. In clinical practice, we usually group the condition of metabolic acidosis into two groups: normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, and elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis.
Over the years, several useful tables have been developed to help differentiate these two conditions. Here are some examples:
|Typical causes of an elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis.
Paraldehyde, phenformin.
Iron, isoniazid, inhalants.
Lactic acidosis.
Ethylene glycol, ethanol (alcoholic ketoacidosis).
Salicylates, solvents, starvation.
Pneumonic: MUDPILES
|Typical causes of a normal anion gap metabolic acidosis
|Gastrointestinal bicarbonate loss: diarrhea, Pancreatic fistula. Hyperalimentation. Posthypocapnia. Renal tubular acidosis. Ureteroenterostomy. Drugs: ammonium chloride, hydrochloric acid.
|Typical causes of a low anion gap
|hypoalbuminemia, hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, lithium toxicity, multiple myeloma.
Important tip: Always consider other factors that may affect the calculated anion gap. A perfect example would be a patient with ethylene glycol toxicity and hypoalbuminemia. In this case, the patient may have a normal anion gap even though toxic levels of ethylene glycol are present.
Twitter is a communication platform, and, therefore, it is a neutral medium. It's not the medium itself, but how you use the medium that makes Twitter "good" or "bad." In my five years of being an anonymous and five months of being a named individual on Twitter, I have come to realize that different people use Twitter for different purposes. In general, these are the five people (or doctors) I have met on Twitter. They have enriched my experience on social media and taught me much about life and doctoring.
1. The knowledge distributor. These are the ones who frequently tweet and retweet various information, news, latest studies, guidelines, and opinions. Following a few of these people will add to your knowledge base. They often have tens of thousands of followers, and they usually have tens of thousands of tweets. They are good at disseminating information. Their timeline is full of information. The downside? They read like a newsfeed and therefore often lack the personal and social engagement that is an enjoyable part of Twitter. But they serve their purpose well. I learn lots of new things from them.
2. The court jester. The court jester is the one who entertains, enlightens and yet educates at the same time. They're the ones who put up a mirror to our faces. They poke fun at important issues, sometimes even taboos, and bring up a very important message. They are often the ones behind the mask who would tell the truth when no one else would. They provide the behind-the-scenes look at the medical industry (or any industry) and challenge the status quo. As you can guess, they're often anonymous. They're the ones the lawyers and administrators warn you about. But I see great value in following them. Because they tell the truth behind their masks, I reckon every industry needs some of these, with respect of course. I can think of a few doctors who are anonymous who make a massive impact through their tweets and blogs.
3. The social collaborator. They are fun to hang out with. They are one of the main reasons for joining social media. It is social after all. There are lots of conversations about life. Lots of food photos and baby photos. And cat photos, of course. One must never forget the abundance of cat photos on Twitter. Sometimes, in their eminently sociable space, the line between public and personal lives get crisscrossed. Raw emotions, anger, bitterness and hurts make their way into their tweets. It can be painful to watch. Sometimes downright unprofessional. But I love following them, because at the end of the day, we're human. I need to always be in touch with the raw and unpredictable nature of human emotions and relationships.
4. The relentless commentator. The devil's advocate. They seem to have an opinion on and a comment for anything and everything. Some of them good, some of them very critical and negative. They always provide a contrasting view, and they're happy to let loose with their opinions. You'll find them debating certain issues with passion and their timeline reads like an angry verbal joust. It's good to follow them because there are always many sides to any story, and you get to learn from them. However, the line between respectful difference versus discourteous disagreement can be very thin at times. The first rule of Twitter: Be respectful of others.
5. The thought leader. Here's the one everyone wants to be. The person who leads the world with contemporary ideas and tweets their sophisticated perspective to everyone. Twitter truly adds to their impact and in some immeasurable ways, they are truly changing the world. They are examples of what's good on Twitter. The synthesis and harnessing of people and expertise. There are not too many of them around, true thought leaders. When you've found them, they're a treasure to follow as they enrich your days with colorful thoughts and perspectives. I'm certain that they would be as amazing in real life as they are on Twitter.
It would be great to follow a few of these different kinds of tweeps to challenge your thinking and enhance your perspective. What about yourself? What kind of a twitter person are you? My guess is that most of us would be a bit of all of them. Who we are on Twitter is probably defined by who we are in real life and what our purposes are in joining social media.
Eric Levi is an otolaryngologist in Australia who blogs at his self-titled site, Dr Eric Levi. He can be reached on Twitter @DrEricLevi.
In medicine, our motto is first do no harm. Words matter. Choose them wisely. Here are 7 words that shame, blame, and injure people who need our help.
1. Don't say COMMITTED suicide. Committed implies a crime. Committed rape, burglary, murder. Suicide is not a crime; it's a medical condition that has been taboo for too long. Let's come out of the dark ages and use proper language to discuss the cause of death. It's died OF pneumonia, heart attack, stroke, suicide. Say died OF suicide (ordied BY suicide).
2. Don't say she IS bipolar. People are people first. Some get physical and/or mental health conditions. The health condition is not their identity. She HAS pneumonia, heart disease, depression, not she IS pneumonia, heart disease, depression. Say she HAS bipolar disorder (or she is a person WITH bipolar disorder).
3. Don't say he IS an addict. As in #2, people are people first. He is not a disease. He is not a behavior. Thus, he is not a substance abuser or an addict. He is a person who may have an addiction or a substance abuse disorder. Say he HAS an addiction.
4. Don't say patient IS NON-COMPLIANT. Non-compliant blames the patient for not following a plan that she may have not understood or agreed to follow. Maybe she simply did not have money to buy the medication or the recommended treatment. Be precise and accurate with words, especially when placed in a permanent medical record. Don't blame or shame. Be curious and engaging. Ask, "IS THE TREATMENT WORKING?"
5. Don't say PROVIDER. A provider is a person who provides something. How nebulous. In medicine, a provider is an economic term used to lump all the revenue-generators together into one pile (often to see how much more money can be squeezed out of them). It's a dehumanizing word that lacks precision and, honestly, it's offensive to the people who have spent so many years of their lives to achieve mastery in their chosen profession. Use proper terminology. Say NURSE PRACTITIONER, MIDWIFE, PHYSICIAN. If you must use a collective term, say HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. Sometimes, I say HEALERS.
6. Don't say MIDLEVEL. What is that? Maybe it's when an elevator gets stuck between two floors? Again (see #5) this is a word used by health care administrators to describe revenue generators who are somewhere halfway between a nurse and a doctor (I think). Use proper terminology. Say PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT or NURSE PRACTITIONER.
7. Don't say BURNOUT. Physician burnout is a term of oppression that blames the doctor for not keeping up with an inhumane schedule (30-hour shifts, 120-hour work weeks) in a toxic workplace that may include hazing, bullying, and no time to eat or take bathroom breaks. Even on their so-called time off, doctors may still be working on chart notes at home in bed on the weekends. Burnout blames the victim and deflects attention from the perpetrator. Speak the truth. Say HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION or HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE. Don't say burnout, say ABUSE.
Know of any other shaming words that should be lost from our lexicon? Add your comment below.
Being pre-med is not easy and trying to go to medical school is difficult. When trying to achieve something so difficult, it is only natural for failure to play such a big part of it. Think about the NBA or NFL for example. Millions of people aspire to go on to play professional sports but if you look at the statistics, merely a handful of people actually get to live their dreams of participating in professional sports. Although compared to professional sports, pursuing medicine is not the same level of difficulty but nonetheless it is hard. If you take a look at the numbers it is pretty interesting:
Taking a look at the statistics you will notice that the odds are against you – 200,000 pre-med students to 20,000 students who actually start medical school. That is 1:10 so if you think about the hundreds of students in your Biology class, out of the 10 students next to you, only one of you will go on to medical school. That is a rough thing to hear and is sad but you have to remain positive if you do want to pursue medicine. The odds will forever not be in your favor but the only thing that is on your side is your motivation and desire to pursue medicine.
You might be thinking what is the point of trying to pursue medicine if the odds are against you. The point is that there are many things you can do in your life in which the odds will be against you. But if the thought of failure scares you more than the thought of not trying to pursue your dreams, then that is something you have to consider. For me, the thought of not trying to pursue medicine scared me more than anything and therefore applying to medical schools was the only natural choice. People will always try to scare you out of doing certain things because the probability of you being successful may be low. Just remember that someone has to end up in those positions and if you really want to you can beat the odds.

It follows reports the Financial Services Authority and the London Stock Exchange are investigating movements in the share price ahead of the oil and gas explorer's admission last week that its main project in Greece had come up dry.
Only a month ago, the company and its broker Evolution Securities, down 4p at 120p, raised a further £45m from shareholders by way of a placing at 390p a share. Last Wednesday's announcement from Regal saw those same shares collapse 60% to 100½p, wiping £200m from the company's value.
Brokers say the focus of any investigation by the FSA, or the LSE, will be on the placing and the rumoured sale of up to a quarter of the company's shares by overseas investors which was not disclosed. Anyone holding more than 3% of shares in a company must disclose when they add to or reduce holdings. Regal says it is unaware of an investigation into its affairs.
The rest of the sector got a much-needed boost today as rival exploration player Soco International unveiled a new find in Vietnam. The group has tested an offshore well and found it flows at more than 13,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day. Soco slipped 3¼p to 478p. Share prices generally posted modest gains in thin trading. London's FTSE 100 index rose 18 points to 4989.8 as Wall Street edged better this afternoon.
Forget about a recovery at struggling MFI - down ¾p at 110p - was the message from broker Credit Suisse First Boston, which cut it 12-month target 9% to 105p.
It has been telling clients that MFI's growth in new orders has been slowing since the winter sale ended, supporting the company's view of an increasingly uncertain trading outlook. The broker also describes further deterioration in MFI's joinery arm, Howden, as 'most worrying'.
Vodafone firmed 1½p to a new high for the year of 146½p ahead of full-year numbers tomorrow. Broker ABN Amro expects the mobile phones operator to return about £4bn to shareholders via a buyback-Anything up to £10bn is possible, it says. Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP Billiton, 1½p dearer at 638p, is expected to sweeten its A$9.2bn (£4bn) offer for nickel and uranium producer WMC Resources as shareholders shun the bid.
BHP has so far secured less than 8% of WMC shares since it swept London-listed Xstrata, 16p better at 960p, from the field and apparently won the fight for WMC. BHP is almost certain to extend the offer a second time beyond the 3 June deadline, and analysts believe the company will raise the all-cash bid of $7.85 a share, possibly by adding paper to the mix.
Meanwhile, UBS has cut its targets for other miners. It remains a buyer of Antofagasta, 12p dearer at 1088p, but has reduced its target from 1500p to 1450p, while Anglo American, up 12p at 1288p, in which it has a neutral rating, has been cut from 1500p to 1375p. BHP Billiton, target slashed from 745p to 525p, and Rio Tinto, 10p higher at 1604p, sights lowered from 2050p to 1875p, are seen as neutral.
Multi was unmoved on 3p after increasing its stake in Lorien, up 3½p at 43p, to 850,000 (4.6%) and along with its biggest shareholder Southwind owns 4.1m shares (22%). Multi is now considering making a full offer for Lorien.

Belinda Hampton looked at the pile of papers on her desk and sighed. When she'd taken the job at the State Department of Education, she'd thought she was getting into one of those cushy state jobs, where she wouldn't have to work that hard, and wouldn't have to worry about job security. Everybody said that. State jobs are like the goose that lays the golden eggs. And, during the interview, when she was offered the spot as "head" of the Continuing Education Office, she was quite sure she'd be playing with golden eggs very soon.
So far, though, the goose hadn't laid any golden eggs. The goose hadn't laid any eggs at all, for that matter. She'd been shown to a desk in the Continuing Education office, which sounded important, but was, in actuality, only a twelve by twelve room full of file cabinets and a desk piled high with papers. There was a computer with a broad band connection, but all the good sites were blocked.
The previous occupant of the chair she was sitting in had gotten pregnant, and her water had broken much sooner than anyone anticipated. Then there were complications, and she had to be hospitalized. But the business of education insisted on rambling on, which was why Belinda was hired with only a cursory glance at her resume which, in any case, was heavily padded. That she had lied about having a college degree was, ironically offset by the fact that they misrepresented things to Belinda as well. There had never been more than one person in the CE office, and there was no one to be "head" over. They were desperate, though. The previous two applicants had wanted to see the office, and promptly walked out when it was shown to them.

Having always had Springer Spaniels and going to many game fairs over the years I came across Italian Spinone. I immediately fell in love with them. My first Spinone joined me in 2000 who was a great gundog and sorely missed having lost him in 2013. They are a breed that get under your skin and one is never enough. They are a sensitive breed and are very clever. I currently have 4 Spinone and a working cocker. My dogs are my loving pets and part of my family first and foremost, anything they achieve is a definate bonus. I'm thrilled to have made up a Show Champion with my boy Quest a dream ....

Possessing the strength and ability to hit a cricket ball into a stand for six is a huge asset in one-day cricket, yet it only wins games when the player combines the skill with the use of his brain. England's batsmen failed to use their grey matter yesterday and, in the first of seven one-day matches against India, deservedly fell to a 39-run defeat.
Having dismissed India for 203 in 46.1 overs England, who had progressed belligerently to 117 for 3 in the 20th over, should have strolled to victory. But in 11.3 overs of thoughtless and occasionally egotistical batting they lost six wickets for the addition of 25 runs, and threw away the chance to move 1-0 up in the series.
Matthew Prior, Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Flintoff and Ian Blackwell are the most destructive batsmen in the England team, but they all forfeited their wicket attempting to sweep the ball for six or four. They will claim that they were only playing their natural game, and that the shot was on.
Rubbish. Prior and Pietersen appeared to be trying to compete with a partner at the other end in the big-hitting stakes, while Flintoff and Blackwell attempted to sweep their way out of tricky situations. Three of the above fell to Harbhajan Singh, who claimed career-best figures of 5 for 31, while Pietersen was caught on the boundary edge off the occasional spin of Yuvraj Singh.
"When Kevin and I were batting we had them by the proverbials and we should have won," Flintoff said. "But we both got out in consecutive overs and that put a lot of pressure on the lower order. One-day cricket is about managing risk and today we did not manage it too well... The defeat has hurt us, and so it should do. We know we have wasted a good opportunity."
While Pietersen and Flintoff were batting together England looked set to pass India's target within 35 overs. Pietersen struck nine boundaries during a 39-ball innings of 46, and Flintoff hit two sixes in his 37-ball 40. After Andrew Strauss and Owais Shah were dismissed by Irfan Pathan in the first over of England's reply, and following Prior's senseless slog to deep square leg, Pietersen and Flintoff regained the initiative by adding 60 runs in eight overs.
There is nothing more entertaining for an England supporter than watching these two bat together, but while in partnership there is the risk that they may get drawn into a shoot-out in which they attempt to out-hit each other. Both players will deny this, stating that the team come first, but on this occasion Flintoff's batting - he had just hit Sri Sreesanth for 16 runs in an over - appeared to affect Pietersen, who had not seen much of the strike for three or four overs.
Pietersen gave Gautam Gambhir the second of three catches when he hoicked a low full toss to deep mid-wicket, and Flintoff was given out lbw when he missed an attempted sweep.
England's method was enjoyed by Harbhajan. "Sweeping gives you the option of getting batsmen lbw or bowled if he doesn't pick the length of the ball," he said. "If the pitch is keeping low, like this one, it is a bit of a risky shot. If I was a batsman I would not play that shot."
Harbhajan bowled very well but credit should also be given to Rahul Dravid for his captaincy. With Pietersen and Flintoff causing havoc Dravid delayed using his "power plays" - two five-over periods when the fielding side has to have nine players fielding within the 30-yard circle - until the partnership was broken. But once the breakthrough had been made he attacked, placing fielders around the bat. England's batsmen were restricted and the pressure grew.
It is only going to get tougher for England. It was a sing-song that brought the tourists victory in the third Test in Bombay - and it was a Singh who brought them down to earth yesterday.

His Girl
Btvs/Supernatural Crossover
Summary: After Dean's death, a mysterious woman calls Dean's phone and Sam, desperate for any connection to his brother sets out to find out just who this woman really is and what she was to Dean. One-shot.
Pairing: Buffy/Dean
Timeline: Right after Chosen, and about three weeks after Dean goes to hell, so Pre-Season 4.
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing.
AN: For the sake of this story, the Buffy/Riley relationship thing didn't happen. They dated and all the Initiative stuff still went down but they never got serious.
"Hey Dean, it's me. Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. We had no power in Sunnydale what with this year's apocalypse and all that. I just wanted to let you know I was okay in case you saw what happened on the news. Sunnydale kinda got swallowed up in the Hellmouth, but good news is it's closed now. I'll give you the full version later. Now I kinda just need to sleep for a month or two. Anyway, call me when you can. I hope everything's okay. Love you."
Sam stared at the phone as the message ended, wondering who the woman was. Several things about the message had struck him as odd. For one: the woman had never said her name, which meant that Dean had to know her well enough to easily recognize her voice. Second: from what she'd said about not checking in for a while had to mean that she usually checked in regularly. The last thing, probably the thing that disturbed Sam the most, was that he had in fact seen the news about Sunnydale. The official report was that the town had fallen into a sinkhole but from what this mystery woman said, the town got swallowed up in the closing of a Hellmouth. Sam knew what a Hellmouth was, and if this woman also knew and had lived on one, that meant that she was most likely a hunter.
Why hadn't Dean mentioned her? Not that he would know even if Dean had since he had no clue who this woman was, but Dean hadn't mentioned being close to any female hunters, and anyone Dean kept in touch with on a regular basis had to be pretty important to his brother.
Sam stared at the number for several minutes before taking a deep breath and pressing the call button. After 4 rings Sam was about to hang up when a woman's voice came on the line.
"Dean! I was starting to worry." Sam cringed at the joy in the woman's voice. The joy that would be crushed as soon as he spoke.
"Um… Hi. This is Sam Winchester, I'm Dean's brother. I-I heard your message on Dean's phone earlier…" Sam trialed off, not sure how to proceed. 'Who are you? How do you know Dean?' seemed kind of rude.
"Something happened to Dean." It wasn't a question and Sam had to swallow the lump in his throat as the voice that was so relieve and cheerful a second before was now filled with fear and pain Sam knew all too well.
"Yeah. Dean…Dean's dead." Sam said quietly, the words still causing him to feel like his insides were being torn out.
"What-what happened?" the woman choked out.
"I'm sorry, but who are you? How did you know my brother?" Sam wasn't sure how much to tell this woman without knowing how much she knew of Dean's life.
"My name is Buffy Summers. I met Dean 4 years ago while he was working a case. We were tracking the same demon." Buffy told him.
"So you're a hunter."
"More or less." She said evasively. "How… how did it happen?" Because whatever killed him was going to die slowly and painfully, she silently vowed.
"About a year ago Dean made a deal to save my life. He got a year to live and then…then a demon got to collect his soul and send him to hell. His year was up 3 weeks ago." Sam said mournfully.
Something between a laugh and a sob burst from the woman. "So that's what he wasn't telling me."
"I don't understand."
"Dean and I have kept in touch almost constantly since he left when his father went missing. I know him pretty well. Definitely well enough to know when he's hiding something, but no matter how much I pressed, he wouldn't tell me. Even when we got to see each other…" She began to sob on the other end of the line.
So he had been right about his brother's closeness to this woman, Buffy. She hadn't said as much but Sam was pretty sure she and Dean had been romantically involved at some point as well.
"What demon?" Buffy asked, her voice hard and gravely, sounding as far from the girl who had answered the phone as possible.
Sam rubbed his eyes. "Her name is Lilith. She's been after me and Dean for a while."
"Fine. Now I'm after her." Buffy spoke with a severity that actually frightened the hunter a bit.
"Um… hey I don't think-" Sam began.
"Look there's a lot you don't know about me. So before you go saying something like I shouldn't go after this bitch because I might get hurt, let me fill you in. I'm The Slayer. I've been kicking demon ass since I was 15 years old and I'm damn good at what I do. I've lost a lot of people I care about recently but your brother meant more to me than all of them combined! I'm not letting this go. I'm going to make Lilith pay."
The raw anger and determination Sam could hear in this woman's voice could only be matched by his own boiling inside him. He couldn't help but respect her for it.
"Not without me." Sam said in a tone that clearly booked no room for argument.
"I expected no less." And she hadn't. He was Dean's brother after all.
"Where are you?" Sam asked, already pulling up a map on his laptop.
"Los Angeles."
"I'll be there in about 36 hours. I got your number saved in my cell. I'll call you for an address when I get to California."
"I'll be waiting."
Sam ended the call, a feeling a satisfaction flowed through him. Not only had he gained insight into a part of his brother's life, but he'd gained an ally as well. A powerful one at that. He knew what a Slayer was; there was hardly a hunter who didn't. To think that his brother had known one personally was pretty incredible. Yeah… Lilith would pay.
Alrighty, that was just something that has been swimming around in my head for a minute. I don't know if I should leave it as a one shot, or have it be a prequel to something cooler. Let me know what you guys think.

Game Group is poised to hire a restructuring team at Deloitte, the accountancy firm, to deliver a strategic plan for next year to help it turn around its dire performance.
The embattled computer games retailer, which has 610 UK stores, has also spoken to restructuring teams at other firms over recent weeks about improving its deteriorating financial position. But Deloitte appears the front-runner to be hired.
Game – which had debts of £91m as of 31 July – has been hit by the wider consumer downturn. But the retailer is also suffering from tanking demand for its products, despite a boost from new releases, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
In November, Game issued its second profits warning in five months, adding that its like-for-like sales this year would be down by at least 7 per cent. The City expects Game to post a loss of £12m for the year to 31 January. Its shares have lost 87.5 per cent of their value this year and closed at a lowly 8.75p yesterday.
Alongside its profit warning last month, Ian Shepherd, the chief executive of Game, insisted it had "outperformed the market", but said it was in "extraordinary economic times". Royal Bank of Scotland is the biggest lender to Game. All parties declined to comment.

Benefits of Community radio as a tool for social learning on climate change
Benefits of Community radio as a tool for social learning on climate change
Community radio offers some key benefits over other media for engaging with local communities on climate change, particularly in rural areas in many parts of Africa and Asia.
First, it is communicated orally, using local language, and at relatively low cost – meaning that it is accessible to people who cannot access other media. Secondly, community radio is frequently paired with other communication tools such as mobile phones for call-in shows, or face to face listening groups which enhance uptake of the information being shared, and creates a platform for two-way exchanges and learning between a wide range of actors. Finally, the use of radio for dialogue need not be restricted to the community level. This platform can be used to get messages from one community to others, link with national broadcasters to engage country-wide, and link with global networks like the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) to take messages to the global level.

Two Mittens Up
Although there seem to be Santa Clauses everywhere at this time of year, they're seldom accompanied by the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who. Today, however, all three take part in Movies With Santa, presented by the Shops at Northfield Stapleton, 8340 Northfield Boulevard. According to marketing director Joyce Rocha-Brown, the event begins at 1:30 p.m. at the center's Borders outlet, where Santa, Cindy Lou and the Grinch participate in "a free event for children we're calling Santa's Workshop. We'll have craft activities and free milk and cookies, too." Then at 3 p.m., the Jim Carrey flick How the Grinch Stole Christmas screens at the on-site Harkins Theaters. Tickets for the film are $5, with the entire amount earmarked to benefit the Salvation Army. Rocha-Brown calls it "a whole afternoon of fun for the kids" as well as for several fictional characters.

TELUS Link will provide instant 'walkie-talkie' voice communication with an individual or a team as well as standard wireless service, enabling members of a work team to connect in less than one second wherever they are. Customers can also roam in the U.S. and around the world with enhanced coverage via PTT over Wi-Fi. "TELUS' constant innovation allows us to meet and exceed the extremely high standards our business customers have come to expect from our technology," said Jim Senko, vice-president of Small Business Solutions, TELUS. "TELUS Link is the natural evolution of our industry-leading Mike service and is Canada's only Push To Talk service available over Wi-Fi. With access to our blazing fast 4G LTE data speeds, TELUS Link customers will experience expanded services as well as a seamless transition to all major smartphone operating systems." TELUS Link will allow people working for Canadian businesses in fields such as construction, transport, energy, utilities and manufacturing to connect quickly with individuals or large groups in less than one second on the TELUS 4G network, which now covers 97 per cent of Canada's population from coast-to-coast. It combines the best features of a walkie-talkie with the advantages of today's latest smartphones including extremely high speeds and bandwidth for data, excellent sound quality, and increased productivity advantages. Compatible with smartphones on all major operating systems, TELUS Link can also be downloaded and used on rugged phones like the Samsung Galaxy Rugby LTE. In addition, TELUS' new ultra-rugged voice phone available this month, the Sonim XP5560, will soon be able to access the TELUS Link service.

You may not think you need to worry about grass tetany this time of year, but we do. The way our weather has been so far this winter, we do need to be concerned and here is an article to explain it.
Fourth and fifth grade students from across the county recently completed the 4-H Forestry project.
In this week's paper you will find the results as well as pictures of the top winners. A big congratulations to all who completed the project this year.
St Dominic Elementary 4th Grade
Specialists with the University of Kentucky Wheat Science Group will present timely information related to the 2012 wheat production year during their winter meeting from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. CST Jan. 10 at the James E. Bruce Convention Center in Hopkinsville.
In the past several years, tough economic conditions have hit many industries, including nurseries. One area where nursery owners may be able to save money is monitoring the efficiency of applied nutrients to their container plants, said Winston Dunwell, extension professor for nursery crops with the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture.
Many of you have commented to me about all the corn that blew down about three weeks ago. In traveling around the county this week, I have seen a lot more of it, and with our continued drought, it will only get worse.
This brings up the question what fields to harvest first, do you have the ability to dry down that corn, and various other harvesting questions individuals may have.
Have your perennials been in their current location for at least three years? Have you watered and fertilized them regularly throughout the growing season, yet they haven't bloomed as much as usual and they just look tired? Your perennials may be over crowded.
Blister beetles are out now, but rarely reach damaging numbers in alfalfa. In addition, the beetles feed on clover, soybean, potato, tomato, and eggplant, and are especially attracted to flowers. Like the Japanese beetle, feeding by a few blister beetles draws in more. Large numbers of beetles can cluster on small patches of flowering plants in an otherwise uninfested field. This can result in infested hay. Blister beetles contain cantharadin, a chemical that is very toxic to horses. Fortunately, these insects have not been a significant problem in Kentucky alfalfa fields.
With September starting, it is time to start thinking about fall, which is a good time to plant trees and shrubs. The cool temperatures and adequate rainfall (most years) make for an ideal time for planting woody plants. In the spring many times, it is too wet and the soil too cool to get newly planted trees and shrubs off to a good start. Many times gardeners are much too busy to plant in the early spring, as well.
The Kentucky State Fair has been so much fun this year, and our 4-H members are doing a fantastic job representing Washington County. Everyone still has a chance to go to the fair through Aug. 28 and enjoy all of the sights, sounds and smells! Don't forget to check out Cloverville and the West Wing.

The Forbidden City
... hall.
I drink the aura of the past in this heart of the Chinese empire. Even today, it is only a stone's throw away from the center of power. We leave the Forbidden City and ascend to the pagoda on the hill. From there the symmetric City lies below us, surrounded by a rectangular wall. The Forbidden City is easy to recognize because of the characteristic roofs and gates. The mood at the pagoda is of a day at the park. Crowded with people ...
Endless China
... in Chendu, we hopped back on the train towards Xian to see the famous Terracotta Warriors. Arriving in the ancient capital of China was interesting as the reconstructed city wall was quite impressive. If you feel like it you are able to take a bike on the wall and cycle around the inner city. As it was too late for us to do that we just went into the city centre which we found to be really beautiful especially at night. The next day ...
Last day at the Expo
... and came back to the hotel for a bit of a rest, before we tackled the Ya Xiu markets - a massive area with genuine fake clothes that was incredible to see. Didn't end up buying anything really though.
Am looking forward to flying out to Korea tomorrow though as I've really had enough of China for the time ...

"Really?" I asked. "I thought that I looked like a Jpop guy."
Emi and I accompanied Natasha to **** over Rice. I ate the spicy chicken dish.
Olivia was there too. She was taken back by my new look.
Then, Natasha and I returned to Emi's room.

XBOX Xtravaganza!
Today I finally got my wish! I got to play XBOX! My favorite game was a war game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It was a fun game with really good graphics and the purpose of the game was to fight these bad guys who were being led by a guy named Makarov. There are a variety of guns that you can use and it is very realistic. I was a sniper in Afghanistan and I helped Ethan complete the mission. I had a updated M14 sniper rifle and a HK ...

Hewlett-Packard was founded in the difficult times of the Great Depression. The founders were a pair of friends whose name the company still proudly bears. They started their business in an unobtrusive garage near the city of Palo Alto. It is now a national monument. HP's success lay not in copying existing products, but in the ability and courage to come up with something new.
The first commercial triumph was an oscillator that surpassed all competition in quality, yet sold at a quarter of the price. In 1968, HP released their first desktop computer - a desktop calculator. The company currently manufactures products primarily related to computer technology - computers and laptops, printers, scanners, digital cameras, servers, and last but not least, calculators.
This product is not an independently functional unit and may require professional installation.

Consumer Interest
What is 'Consumer Interest'
A type of interest that is charged for personal loans, including automobile loans and credit card debt. This type of interest constitutes all forms of nondeductible interest that consumers must pay. It excludes deductible interest such as mortgage interest.
BREAKING DOWN 'Consumer Interest'
Consumer interest is considered the worst kind of interest because it is not deductible and is typically charged at a higher rate than other types of interest. For this reason, many consumers have turned to home equity loans as a means of converting their nondeductible consumer interest debt into deductible mortgage interest.

Case studies
Online forms (web and mobile)
Online Forms Design Standard
Department of Justice & Regulation Victoria
Following an international trend, the Department had begun to transition from paper to online forms. But without specialist guidance, the forms were inconsistent, developers were doing custom work for each one, and overall, usability was compromised.
Working collaboratively with internal stakeholders, Formulate developed an Online Forms Design Standard, which was already being used before it had even been officially signed-off. The Department expects the Standard to significantly streamline design and development, improve completion rates and reduce errors.
Car and home insurance quoting and purchasing
Coles Insurance
Coles knew that to be competitive in an already-tight car and home insurance market, their online form had to be the best, so they hired Formulate.
We conducted extensive user research, provided detailed working prototypes, and collaborated closely with the development team to achieve an online form that, when it went live, had a higher conversion rate than any competitor, including incumbents like AAMI and NRMA.
Paper forms
National Diabetes Services Scheme forms
Diabetes Australia
The National Diabetes Services Scheme is a central way Diabetes Australia helps people who have diabetes, one of the top 5 causes of illness in the country. To access the scheme, people with diabetes need to register, but the existing registration forms were producing high error rates and processing costs.
Formulate redesigned the forms, achieving significant reductions in errors and costs. They were rolled out nationally in January 2014.
Permit to Work Certificate
Sydney Water
The form that Sydney Water used to ensure the safety of people working at their sites was over-crowded, complex and confusing.
Formulate worked with Sydney Water to identify exactly what information was needed, and produced a clear, streamlined, targeted form which will help improve the safety of staff and contractors.
Nursing admission, patient screening, risk assessment and care plan forms
Austin Hospital
When a patient is admitted onto a ward at the Austin Hospital, nurses complete a set of forms collecting history and personal details, assessing current state, and ensuring the patient is kept safe, is fully informed and has their needs met.
Formulate was brought in to improve these forms so that nurses can focus on the task of nursing, patients feel like collaborators in their care, and mistakes are minimised – all crucial outcomes in a healthcare setting.
Desktop forms
Claim forms
WFI offers a wide range of insurances for business, from cargo and vessels to commercial glass and livestock. When claims were made against such policies, the details were collected by hand using paper forms.
Intelligent, connected electronic forms were planned for the medium to long term future, but depended on the upgrade of a number of legacy systems. For the interim, Formulate provided fillable Microsoft Word forms that improved data collection, entry and processing, while lowering error rates. These forms worked within WFI's Standard Operating Environment, were simple to implement, and provided a consistent, usable experience for staff.

National Migration Week - January 8-14, 2017
Creating a Culture of Encounter
For nearly a half century, the Catholic Church in the United States has celebrated National Migration Week. With over 65 million people forcibly displaced from their homes globally, the world is increasingly affected by migration. National Migration Week provides an opportunity to raise awareness and reflect on the circumstances confronting migrants, including immigrants, refugees, children, and victims and survivors of human trafficking. "While the observance is only a week long, it is a vital time to show welcome, compassion, and solidarity with our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters." said Bishop Joe Vásquez of Austin, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Committee on Migration.
The theme for National Migration Week 2017 draws attention to Pope Francis' call to create a culture of encounter, and in doing so to look beyond our own needs and wants to those of others around us. In the homily given at his first Pentecost as pope, he emphasized the importance of encounter in the Christian faith: "For me this word is very important. Encounter with others. Why? Because faith is an encounter with Jesus, and we must do what Jesus does: encounter others."
With respect to migrants, too often in our contemporary culture we fail to encounter them as persons, and instead look at them as others. We do not take the time to engage migrants in a meaningful way, but remain aloof to their presence and suspicious of their intentions. During this National Migration Week, let us all take the opportunity to engage migrants as children of God who are worthy of our attention and support.
