I'm out in San Diego finishing one more week of a research fellowship at Point Loma Nazarene University. It might just be one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. (Sorry about that Northwest Central Kansas Community College, Industrial Training Institute, and Manure Recycling Plant.) PLNU's history and political science department looks right out onto the Pacific. Amazing.
Have not posted on RiAH of late, so I thought I'd post part of my Christian Century review of Kim Phillips-Fein's Invisible Hands. Lazy? Perhaps. Paul has been rocking it, as have others. (I have some interviews in the pipeline, but need to get those in proper order.)
The old new right
Long before the shouting contests over national health care and decades before Tea Partiers raised a collective ARGHHH!, a conservative, antigovernment movement was forged. The problem with government, these activists said, is that there is too much of it. When taxes and regulation go down, happiness and good will go up. For decades American conservatives have called for the market to do its magic work without interference. . . .
Phillips-Fein tells the full story of the right, with all its weird turns, quite well. Her discussion of the group Spiritual Mobilization, "which took as its mission a theological justification for capitalism," is captivating. It was just one of many similar crusading groups in the 1950s and the years following. Christianity, its spokespeople warned, had too long been associated with "pink" seminarians, leftist theologians, and intrusive progressives of all stripes. According to the members of Spiritual Mobilization, Christ promoted self-interest and never advocated "disinterested altruism." It was the sort of faith that might have suited even Ayn Rand. The organization disintegrated in the early 1960s in a stranger-than-fiction twist, writes Phillips-Fein, when leaders gravitated to a British guru who championed psychotropic drugs and higher-consciousness hokum. >>>

Air France mulling Airbus A380 link between London, Paris
Air France may link Paris and London with a giant A380 airliner next month to train flight attendants before taking delivery of its fourth superjumbo in late August, the airline said Monday.
"This is being looked into. Nothing has been confirmed," a spokesman told AFP, confirming a report by the Figaro newspaper.
The paper said the A380 would shuttle between Paris Charles de Gaulle and London Heathrow from June 12.
Air France has ordered 12 superjumbos which can seat more than 530 passengers each.
It took delivery of its first A380 in late October, followed by two more in early February and mid-April. They are currently linking Paris to New York and Johannesburg.
An A380 will also fly between Paris and Tokyo "within months", a company spokesman said.

Adam Sandler is a Sad Sack Shoe Man in UK Trailer for 'The Cobbler'
by Ethan Anderton
February 2, 2015
Source: Yahoo UK
"You are a guardian of souls. You are the cobbler." No, The Cobbler isn't the latest hero to join The Avengers, but once you see the kind of powers Adam Sandler obtains as a shoe repair man, it'd be hard to argue against his usefulness in a way. The film from Thomas McCarthy (Win Win, The Station Agent) follows Sandler as the titular character who finds himself with the power to literally walk in other people's shoes; when he puts on their shoes, he becomes them. It starts off as innocent fun, but then causes trouble after taking money from one of his customers. It all feels very silly and not really what we hoped for. Watch?
Here's the new UK trailer for Thomas McCarthy's The Cobbler from Yahoo UK:
You can still watch the previous international trailer for The Cobbler right here.
The Cobbler is directed by Thomas McCarthy (Win Win, The Station Agent, The Visitor) from a script he co-wrote with newcomer Paul Sado. Following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps, Max (Adam Sandler) runs a charming if rundown shoe repair shop on the Lower East Side of New York City. Happy being his own boss, Max nonetheless feels mired in his daily routine and yearns for something he can't name. One day, in the shop's dusty basement, he stumbles across a forgotten family heirloom with magical powers that allow him to literally step into the lives of his customers. Dustin Hoffman, Method Man, Melonie Diaz, Ellen Barkin, Dan Stevens and Steve Buscemi also star in the film arriving on March 13th.

What do popular logos have in common?
what makes them memorable?
A lot of high named brand logos have a lot of advertisements. Some company's work together to make there brand the highest on the chart so they are more noticeable . Popular brands are sometimes very high budget so people buy it to feel rich or fancy. What makes them memorable is there design or logo pictures, sometimes there catch phrases or advertisements catch people eyes. Or you see a lot of people in there clothing or jewelry .
If you were to make a logo for yourself, what would it be ?
if I were to make myself a logo , I would make it about my history. Beautiful green land with black beauty represented Subliminally within mixed colors of nature. I would make shirts and hair care product covers for my beautiful brown skins to represent our natural and contaminated life style.

As promised earlier this year, the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) has published Guidance Notes for the implementation of the OECD's Common Reporting Standard (CRS).
The CRS, the new global standard for automatic exchange of information for tax purposes, obliges all participating countries and jurisdictions to obtain financial information from their financial institutions (FIs) and to exchange that information automatically with other jurisdictions on an annual basis.
Mauritius signed the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters developed by the OECD in June 2015. The competent authority to administer the CRS in Mauritius is the Director-General of the MRA. To that effect, a dedicated unit has been created in the agency's Large Taxpayers Department.
The Income Tax Act has been amended to enable implementation of the CRS. An amendment has also been added to safeguard the confidentiality of tax information exchanged.
The Guidance Notes aim at providing practical assistance to FIs and other stakeholders dealing with the implementation of the CRS. They can be used as a reference source alongside the Commentaries to the CRS and the CRS Handbook, both of which are available on the MRA website.
The Notes are also a notice to all stakeholders falling within the scope of the CRS to comply with the requirements laid down under the Income Tax Act to establish, maintain, and document due diligence procedures to record the tax residence of clients; and to provide the Director-General with the information required at such time and form as laid down in the Notes.
As indicated previously, the Notes confirm the MRA's requirement for Mauritian FIs to apply due diligence procedures recording the tax residence of clients with reportable accounts from January 1, 2017, with a reporting date to the agency of July 31, 2018.

"waste of time"
About: Queen Alexandra Hospital Queen Alexandra Hospital Portsmouth PO6 3LY
Posted by Anonymous
I was referred to orthopedics from dermatology after my MRI showed problems with my neck. After waiting for almost a year to see consultant after I was booked into wrong consultant clinic I feel totally let down. I saw one of the consultants team who didn't go through my MRI, asked me irrelevant questions and then went to get consultant. When consultant came to see me I was told I couldn't be helped at this time and discharged. I saw consultant for less than 5 minutes, felt totally patronized and upset. No explanation was given about any sort of treatment and subsequent letters to consultant asking for explanations have answered none of my questions. As an ex nurse I am disgusted, I am still in a great deal of pain, experience numbness daily and am back to square one not knowing where to go from here

great bang for your buck. Was surprised at how well i could see even without the ir (Posted on Sep 18, 2016)
As good as expected - Review by Nathanael Coyne
Great little gadet, performs as expected. I didn't have high expectations of my first Gen 1 NV so I wasn't disappointed though if you're used to good optics with DSLR camera lenses and binoculars then you may spend far longer trying to get crisper focus and image than can be obtained. Also, I'm going to have to tape the diopter ring in position because it's continually being nudged which is annoying when my eyesight is exactly the same as it was 5 years ago and will be for another 5 years so I don't need to be fiddling with the diopter ring every time I use the unit. (Posted on Oct 31, 2015)

Amazing what you can see and the criters don't know your looking at them - Review by Fish
Australia. Far South Coast NSW. Had to return scope as focus did not work correctly. The return process was fine although it took time in the post and I spend a lot of time away which meant a couple of months to get it sorted. Thought I had been had with poor quality stuff but in the end it works great. The main purpose I purchased this device is for hunting ferral animals. The scope can pick up night life up to 150mt + easily. Especially with a bit of moon. You can stealth in on critters amazingly as they have no idea you are looking at them. I have had bunnies down to 15mt not knowing you are looking at them. There is a lot of focus involved as it is not self focusing. Also your night vision is impared as the camera is quite bright in one eye. Your hand does get tired after holding up for any length of time. I purchased the conversion kit to fit a rifle which included laser. I found that the scope loaded to rifle was way to heavy and so use the night scope seperatly to identify verman and sneak up on them. Once in rage I have a wholf eye torch which I switch on and do the business. To those who read and do not use the scope for hunting, I live on a rural property and the kill goes to food either for myself or domesticated animals when possible. (Posted on Apr 05, 2013)

Rachel and Finn After The Break-Up, Season 4 Glee Spoilers08/24/2012
Glee: Season 4 Spoilers—Rachel and Finn After the Breakup
Here's an article by TVLine's Michael Ausiello which gives some scoop directly from executive producer, Brad Falchuk, on Rachel's love life in season 4 now that Finn and Rachel aren't together anymore. He also talks about the possibility about the possibility of Finn and Rachel getting back together at some point. Here's an excerpt from the article:
Helping to bring Rachel out of her shell will be her determined new suitor Brody (played by Dean Geyer). "She's now not coming from a place when she met Finn, where she was like this totally insecure, annoying little girl," he says. "Now she's a woman and she's been through a lot and she's achieved a lot. So she approaches boys differently, with a different kind of confidence and a different kind of maturity. There's not as much, 'Don't mention sex.'"
Regarding the new guy her in life, Falchuk notes that he's "so different" from Finn. "He has the same kind of kindness and sweetness, but he's a very different kind of person," he says. "It's great to write Rachel with somebody different."

I am in this relationship and I am wondering if it okay that I do some flirting on the side that I know won't go any farther with not girlfriend. Is it okay I do this?
Most Helpful Girl
Not really. The problem is, you wouldn't like it if she did the same, would you? Also, it could really get you in some trouble if you wind up flirting with someone who wants to take it to the next level, may be tempting. OR if she happens to know said person. It can be tempting to sometimes flirt but the problems it could bring you are not worth the risk. Then again, if you have this urge to flirt with other women, maybe you need to evaluate your relationship. Do you really want to be with her? If so, than why are you flirting with other girls?11|00|0

Ai Build showcases Daedalus Pavilion at the GPU Technology Conference in Amsterdam, a 3D printed structure built by intelligent robots.
A 3D printed pavilion is a great way to demonstrate how additive manufacturing could change the future of construction.
But the London-based startup Ai Build has gone a step further. In collaboration with Arup Engineers, they fabricated a 350-pound pavilion using 3D printing AND artificial intelligence. The result was presented at the GPU Technology Conference in Amsterdam last month.
Daedalus Pavilion, named after the creator of the labyrinth from Greek mythology, was printed using a KUKA industrial robot. The robot was programmed with A.I. algorithms to teach itself how to create a 3D printed structure.
To optimize building, for example, the robot used cameras to monitor its progress and learn from mistakes.
Daghan Cam, CEO and founder of Ai Build, explained to Digital Trends: "We wanted to push the boundaries of how intricate we could design things through computation and how we could create them through 3D printing."
What's so Special about the Daedalus Pavilion?
The value of the Daedalus Pavilion is not just the "wow" factor of 3D printing in tandem with A.I., but the ways in which these technologies can lower the cost of construction.
Cam reckons that the use of A.I. can cut the printing time by half: "Our robots were blind. They take instructions from a computer and blindly execute them. If there's any problem they don't notice and can't adapt."
The solution to this problem was attaching cameras to the printers. Algorithms were used to analyze the structures in real-time. Cam explained: "The goal was to create a feedback loop between the physical environment and the digital environment."
Also efficient was the use of fans during printing to harden the structure in real-time. Plus, the lattice design meant that there was zero-waste with material.
It only took 15 days to print — and half a day to assemble — the 48 pieces which make up the 4.5m high pavilion. It's estimated that the total cost of the Daedalus Pavilion was $35,600.
After the conference ends the pavilion will be taken back to London, where Ai Build will continue to explore how 3D printing and A.I. can play a part in the evolution of buildings.

|We're not on 2.0 :-(
|Tue, 09 Jan 2001 06:00:49 GMT
I had moved us to 2.0 for about ten minutes, but we were seg faulting pretty regularly, so I moved us back to 1.3. I will look into the seg faults tomorrow. I would mention that the server was working well other than the seg faults. We don't seem to stream data as well as 1.3 did, but I think that's because in 1.3 we sent data when we had 4k, in 2.0 we wait to send 9k at a time. This will have an effect on the perceived performance. We have another problem, but this one should be relatively easy to solve. bugs.apache.org will not work with the code as it exists today. The problem is easy, suexec is compiled against apr, but we use libtool, so nothing is easy. :-) These are the important error messages: [Mon Jan 08 21:48:41 2001] [error] [client 18.104.22.168] Premature end of script headers: /da1/www/bugs.apache.org/index.cgi [Mon Jan 08 21:48:41 2001] [error] [client 184.108.40.206] /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libaprutil.so.0" not found Basically, this is happening because libaprutil.so isn't installed, and suexec hasn't got a clue where to find it. We just need to fix the linking. Any libtool experts want to take this?

I generally will get what I call a "vision" for something, and it will actually haunt my thoughts until I unleash it to the world. I am drawn to creating subjects that can effortlessly be recognized, but are usually in ironic positions. To see the typical in uncommon places so to converse. Even though I appreciate looking at other tattoo artists work, I are likely to not spend as well much attention to it, as I do not wish to rip off peoples work.

text: With regards to adoption of the physician community, we continue to see 70 to a 100 subscribers each week. We've seen this over the past year and we think it's a very positive sign for the product, as more and more physicians get exposure to NUEDEXTA and the benefits that it brings to patients. Then, finally, in the fourth quarter of last year, we deployed our institutional sales force, approximately 32 representatives focused on the long-term care setting and we've seen a very strong uptake within that segment, with long-term care now representing over 50% of the total prescriptions written for NUEDEXTA.Turning now to a quick overview on pseudobulbar affect and the PBA market, for those of you not familiar with PBA, PBA is a neurologic disorder that causes uncontrolled emotional outbursts. In our case, we studied episodes of uncontrolled laughing and/or crying in our Phase III clinical studies. And what's important about pseudobulbar affect is it must occur secondary to a neurologic disease or injury. So it occurs secondary to multiple sclerosis, to Alzheimer's disease, and other forms of dementia, secondary to Parkinson's, dramatic brain injury or stroke. And what happens is there is essentially a legion in the brain, because of the disconnect between the front and the back of the brain, these people no long are allowed to control their emotions and they have these uncontrolled outburst that can last anywhere from five to 30 seconds to upwards of 5 minutes. And if you've seen – if you've met one of these patients or if you've seen the impact of PBA, you can understand that these patients are already dealing with a very significant neurologic disease or (inaudible) sustained a neurologic injury, and this uncontrolled episodes add significant burden for these patients. To give you a sense in our clinical studies, the average patient was having five to seven episodes per day. So five to seven uncontrolled emotional outbursts per day between 35 and 50 episodes per week. So it takes a significant toll on these patients.

Global COPD and Asthma Devices Market 2016-2020: Industry Size, Growth, Demands and Research Report
The COPD and Asthma hold the largest market share within the global respiratory diseases' market. As estimated by Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), approximately 300 million people suffer from Asthma globally. COPD was the 3rd leading cause for death with 3 million people in 2013. Variety of drug-delivery methods such as oral and parenteral delivery have been deployed for treatment of COPD and Asthma; however, the pulmonary drug delivery system is the most effective drug-delivery technology as compared to the other (stated) conventional methods. The pulmonary drug delivery system includes devices such as inhalers and nebulizers – that are types of COPD and Asthma devices. Owing to all of the afore-mentioned factors the global COPD and Asthma devices' market was valued at $25.3 billion in 2013. The global COPD and Asthma devices market is segmented based on product/device types - inhalers and nebulizers. There are three types of inhalers, namely Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs), Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) and Soft Mist Inhalers (SMIs). Currently, MDIs constitute to the largest market share of about 46% of the global COPD and Asthma devices market.
Browse the full report of Global COPD and Asthma Devices Market with the full ToC: http://www.marketresearchstore.com/report/global-copd-and-asthma-devices-market-49094
The DPIs is the fastest growing segment owing to the increase in the adoption rate of DPIs (as compared to other types of inhalers). The ability of DPIs to deliver small and large-sized drug molecules, as well as specialty engineered molecules render it to be the most preferred inhaler by the customers (doctors); therefore, contributing largely to the growth of the DPIs segment market.
The other product type segment, i.e. the Nebulizers, is the device wherein the liquid formulation of drug is dispensed with the help of compressed air. There are various types of nebulizers developed and supplied such as Compressor Nebulizers, Ultrasonic Nebulizers and Mesh Nebulizers. The nebulizers hold a largest market share in the Home Healthcare application, as the product design of nebulizers offers benefits to debilitated patients, geriatrics and children.
Geographically, the COPD and Asthma devices market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA. North America holds the largest market share followed by Europe. Patent expiry of many brands (of inhalers) leads to increased development and supply of such devices by local market players in the Asia-Pacific market; also coupled with the increasing prevalence of the COPD and Asthma diseases in the Asia-Pacific region, the factors will render high market share for the Asia-Pacific region, by 2020. Some of the key market players included in the report are GlaxoSmithKline Plc, Novartis AG, Merck & Co., Inc., AstraZeneca Plc, Philips Healthcare, 3M Health Care, Allied Healthcare Products Inc., Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc., GF Healthcare Products, Smith Medicals, Lincare Holdings Inc., and Baxter International.

A new report by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says Calgary's housing market is at low risk currently with a moderate risk of overvaluation. "Overvaluation in Calgary reflects the combination of strong growth in house prices and modest gains in personal disposable income," said the CMHC's national House Price Analysis and Assessment, which was released on Monday.
Anyone who travels Deerfoot Trail knows the suburban commuter is far from an endangered species. But the beginnings of a change in Calgary's residential character may be reflected in the latest numbers from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
The per capita value of residential building permits issued in Calgary in September outstripped all other major metropolitan areas in the country, Statistics Canada figures show. The numbers demonstrate the muscle of Alberta's oil-fuelled economy, with Edmonton placing second in per-capita permit values.
When it comes to living luxe, it's all in the details. Riverstone of Cranston is a brand-new river valley estate community from Brookfield Residential, located alongside the scenic Bow River and connected to Fish Creek Provincial Park via 145.6 hectares of environmental reserve. Such communities don't come along very often, says Jason Palacsko, vice-president of […]
Condo listings for Calgary and area.
The pace of new home construction in the Calgary region could reach a record level this year, but it's expected to slow down in 2015, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. And a continuing decline in oil prices could pose a downside risk for the city's housing market. The agency predicted Tuesday that total […]
Calgary's blistering pace of housing construction is expected to cool in 2015 and 2016, but still remain above historic averages.
The estimated value of all Calgary residential building permits issued in September slumped 19 per cent to $296.6-million from $367.2-million in the same month of 2013.
It may not be called Einstein any more, but a new Bridgeland project is still proving smart enough to attract a savvy group of buyers wanting to live in the inner city.
A change in a building code rule for construction in Calgary has the potential to transform future development in the city.
CALGARY - Calgary's booming resale housing market showed no signs of slowing down in October as MLS sales reached their second highest level ever for the month while prices continued to gain year-over-year. According to the Calgary Real Estate Board, total MLS sales in the city during the month increased by 10.22 per cent from last year to 2,147. The median price was up by 5.33 per cent to $430,550 while the average sale price rose by 6.50 per cent to $488,474.
CALGARY - Total housing starts in the Calgary census metropolitan area are projected to reach a record high this year but then moderate in 2015 and 2016, according to a new report released Thursday by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. And the city's resale market will also set a record for annual MLS sales.
CALGARY - A new report released Tuesday by PwC and the Urban Land Institute says Calgary and Edmonton are the top two real estate markets in Canada. Both Calgary and Edmonton scored well for investment, development and housing, said the Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2015 study.
With increased awareness of the need to be environmentally sustainable, more home builders — and homebuyers — are looking at green-building practices when it comes to constructing single-family dwellings.
Proposed amendments to Alberta's Condominium Property Act are in limbo, but for some calling for changes this may be a blessing in disguise.
The stance taken by a high-profile developer that inner-city highrise living is more sought after than living in suburbia has been questioned by many in Calgary's housing industry.
Sterling Homes and Brookfield Residential Alberta are recognized by customers across the province as leaders in customer service.
CALGARY - Cochrane has joined Airdrie and Chestermere for reaching an annual sales record in the resale housing market after just three quarters of the year. According to Mike Fotiou, associate broker with First Place Realty, MLS sales in Cochrane year-to-date until the end of September hit the 610 mark, up 38.32 per cent from the same period last year.

After being slashed by the Devils' Colin White in the closing seconds of New Jersey's 5-1 rout tonight, Carolina's Rob DiMaio took offense and fought back.
It was about the only life the Hurricanes showed all night.
DiMaio and White had to be separated and led off the ice. New Jersey's John Madden and Carolina's Glen Wesley were also led away. Moments after the scrum ended in the corner of the New Jersey zone, the Devils congregated around their goaltender, Martin Brodeur, to celebrate their victory. The Carolina players were booed off the ice.
DiMaio is a 5-foot-10, 190-pound plugger with the scars to prove it. The slash was not terribly offensive to him; it was the timing that ticked him off.
''He gave me a pretty good slash and that's part of the game,'' said DiMaio, a former Islander and Ranger. ''But it was kind of pointless at that time. That will set a little tone for the next one, hopefully.''
If that is all the Hurricanes and their embattled goaltender, Arturs Irbe, have left to hope for, Devils fans can get the brooms out of the closets. The Hurricanes have not won a first-round playoff series since 1986, when they were still the Hartford Whalers. They will probably need more than a little motivation if they want to put up any sort of fight.Continue reading the main story
''I think we got the jitters out tonight,'' DiMaio said. ''Now we have to make it a series.''
Easier said than done. The Devils, who negated the Hurricanes' main weapon -- speed -- with their own speed, put on a clinic in Game 1 tonight, outshooting the Hurricanes at one point -- from midway through the first period to midway through the second -- by 19-1. New Jersey outshot Carolina, 16-4, in the first period, and by 14-7 in the second before easing up. As is often the case for the Devils' opponents, Carolina rarely had control of the puck in its offensive zone.
''We have to start getting some pucks on net,'' said Jeff O'Neill, one of the few Carolina players who played with an edge. ''We didn't get a lot of traffic in front of Brodeur.''
The Devils, meanwhile, were in Irbe's face all night. Listed generously at 5-8, Irbe was beaten high over his shoulder and was under seige all night, facing 36 shots. Still, he did not mind the avalanche of shots.
''I kind of loved it,'' Irbe, a native of Latvia, said. ''That's what playoff hockey is all about.''
Actually, it is more about the way the Devils play it: controlling the flow of the game and the movement of the puck so it always seems as if the play is in the opposing end.
Irbe and Carolina Coach Paul Maurice each said they felt only one of New Jersey's goals, Bobby Holik's at 1 minute 25 seconds into the second period, was a bad one. Without it, however, the Devils would still have won convincingly.
Irbe was less than sharp at times. The Devils looked as if their strategy was to shoot high on him, and that is where Irbe was beaten on New Jersey's first two goals.
Irbe played in 77 of Carolina's 82 regular-season games, leading the National Hockey League. He established a franchise record with 40 consecutive starts from Nov. 4 to Feb. 7, and appeared in 41 consecutive games.
But Irbe insisted he was not fatigued.
''I got a breather,'' said Irbe, alluding to the break between the end of the regular season and tonight's playoff opener. ''We had four days in between games.''
The Hurricanes have two more days before Sunday afternoon's Game 2. They flew home immediately and will not fly back until Saturday night. That may seem unconventional, but Maurice said his players would benefit from sleeping in their own beds for a couple of nights.
''I think it's important for us to get back and regroup,'' Maurice said.Continue reading the main story

Consumer satisfaction with big four banks dips again in February
The satisfaction level of the big four banks' personal customers in the six months to February 2016 was 80.5% , down marginally from 80.6% in January and following the decline of 0.3% points seen in January. The combined drop in satisfaction seen over the last two months of 0.4% points was due to declines among both home loan (-0.3% points) and non- home loan customers (-0.4% points). These are the latest findings from Roy Morgan's Single Source survey of 50,000+ people pa.
Despite the decline over the last two months, customer satisfaction with the big four banks is currently close to historically high levels. The satisfaction level of home loan customers (78.5%) remains below that of other customers (81.0%) and has not recovered from where it was in September (80.0%) prior to the home loan rate increases announced in October.
NAB was the only big four bank to improve in February
In February, the NAB was the only one of the big four to show some improvement in satisfaction (up 0.4% points). Westpac showed the biggest drop (down 0.3% points), followed by ANZ and CBA, which were relatively steady with a change of -0.1%.
Consumer Banking Satisfaction
Source: Roy Morgan Research Consumer Banking Satisfaction Report February 2016, average six-month sample n=25,600
The NAB improvement was due to an increase in satisfaction among non-home loan customers whereas the Westpac decline was due to a drop in non-home loan customer satisfaction.
The CBA remains the clear leader overall with 82.0% satisfaction, followed by NAB (80.5%), Westpac (79.8%) and ANZ (77.9%).
Looking at the banks outside of the big four, Beyond Bank Australia is the best performer with 95.4%, just ahead of Teachers Mutual Bank (95.3%). These two are well ahead of the field and are followed by ING Direct (90.0%), Heritage Bank (89.4%), Bank of Queensland (89.2%) and Bendigo Bank (89.0%). It is worth noting that of the 19 banks outside of the big four in this survey , 17 scored higher satisfaction than the top performer of the big four (the CBA with 82.0%).
Big four home-loan customers have not recovered from the October rate increase
The satisfaction of the home-loan customers of each of the big four banks in February 2016 has not recovered back to the September 2015 level, prior to the October rate increase.
Satisfaction of Home Loan Customers cf. Other Customers
Source: Roy Morgan Research Single Source; April 2015 - September 2015 (n = 25,834); October 2015 - February 2016 (n = 24,452)
For both the ANZ and CBA, their home loan customer satisfaction remains 2.3% points below their September levels. Westpac home-loan customer satisfaction is down by 0.7% points since then and NAB is only down 0.1% point.
The satisfaction of non-home loan customers for each of the big four also remains below the September 2015 levels.
ING Direct leads in home loan customer satisfaction
Among the 11 major home loan banks, ING Direct home loan customers have the highest satisfaction with 94.6%. They are followed by ME Bank (90.8%), BankWest (87.3%) and Bendigo Bank (87.0%).
Bank Home Loan Customer Satisfaction**
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source, September 2015 - February 2016 (n = 6,636).
The big four banks remain well below their smaller competitors when it comes to home-loan customer satisfaction, with the best of the majors being Westpac on 80.1%.
Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director, Roy Morgan Research says:
"The home-loan rate increase announced by the big four banks in October appears to have maintained some negative impact on customers right through to February 2016. This is shown by the fact that all of the big four home-loan customers remain below the satisfaction levels seen immediately prior to the increase. The non-home loan customers of these major banks have also had declines in satisfaction since September and this may be partly as a result of low deposit rates.
"Competition in the home-loan market is likely to remain strong and the higher satisfaction of the smaller banks' home-loan customers presents a major challenge. In addition, any adverse publicity regarding rate increases or any other negative issues are generally focused on the big four banks.
"It is worth noting that despite the negative publicity directed at the major banks over the last few months, satisfaction levels remain close to historically high levels and well above levels seen over the last ten years.
"These results have been extracted from the Roy Morgan Single Source survey which includes the most comprehensive consumer financial data available in Australia and as such is regarded as the industry currency. It covers detailed data on all banks, building societies, credit unions, insurance companies, fund managers and superannuation funds. With over 50,000 interviews conducted annually for more than fifteen years, our database enables a unique in-depth understanding of financial behaviour and trends. Anyone in the financial services industry would benefit from the unique insights that only Roy Morgan finance data can provide."

Photo of the Week: Guatemalan Juice Business Bears Fruit
January 10, 2014
TechnoServe helped Mónica Jacinto and the other women behind Kask'i increase their sales and create a better future for their families.
Mónica Jacinto once struggled to support herself and her four children. After her husband left, she sometimes went without food so that her children could eat. Determined to become financially independent, she joined an association of women from Guatemala's San Lucas Tolimán region. Together they started producing fruit juices using a simple blender and formed the business Kask'i.
TechnoServe helped the women of Kask'i improve their business and marketing skills, acquire better equipment and reach new markets. After working with TechnoServe, the business increased its production and began selling their product for a better price. The added income has helped Mónica provide her children with better food, clothes and an education without borrowing money or sacrificing her own well-being.

Hi Kimberly! Welcome to Moms.com!!
Welcome, Kimberly Russell! Glad to "meet" you. Good to hear your daughter Melanie is doing better, may I ask what her rough start entailed?
She was born at 36 weeks gestation. She is low tone, she has a cyst in her brain, GERD, possible seizures, she has a rare spinal deformity. And now she is 19 months and has the language and speech of a 12 month old. She doesnt chew her food either. her motor skills are right on point though.
It sounds like she's come a long way and really isn't too behind milestone-wise. I assume the prognosis is good for her with the other issues or have they already treated her for them?

Painting will be very helpful for people with post-traumatic syndrome, or those who are constantly in a stress state. The fact that such activity calms the amygdale, i.e. the area of the brain that is responsible for generating emotions.

Top TV Writers Unite at Comic-Con to Fight Lupus
Join Maurissa Tancharoen, Jane Espensen, Amy Berg and other top TV writers for a special autograph signing event at the San Diego Comic-Con July 25-26 from 5-7 p.m.
They'll be joined by fellow TV writers and contributors to the new anthology, "Empower: Fight Like A Girl," benefiting the nonprofit Lupus Foundation of America. "Empower: Fight Like a Girl" is available now on Amazon.
The special book and limited-edition poster autograph signings will be Friday, July 25, and Saturday, July 26, from 5-7 p.m., at Autograph Area AA02 on the San Diego Convention Center's Sails Pavilion second floor.
Authors present at each signing, subject to availability, include:
•Amy Berg, writer/executive producer (Caper, Eureka);
•Akela Cooper, writer (The 100, Witches of East End);
•Jane Espenson, writer/producer (Husbands, Once Upon A Time);
•Pang-Ni Landrum, writer/producer (Malcolm in the Middle, The Aftermooners)
•Kam Miller, writer/producer (Law & Order: SVU, Myth of Crime);
•Jess Pineda, writer (Zero Hour);
•Jennifer Quintenz, writer (Daughters of Lillith novels, The Red Star: Sword of Lies graphic novel);
•Kay Reindl, writer/producer (Twisted, Tanglewood);
•Kira Snyder, writer/producer (The 100, The Parish Mail eBook series);
•Maurissa Tancharoen, writer/executive producer (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog); and
•Jeane Wong, writer (DC Comics).
Lupus is called the "cruel mystery" because the chronic autoimmune disease can damage any part of the body, including the brain, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, skin, and joints. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Executive Producer Maurissa Tancharoen's experiences with lupus inspired fellow TV scribes Jennifer Quintenz and Pang-Ni Landrum to launch the charitable fundraising project. They chose the book's title and theme because 90 percent of individuals diagnosed with lupus are women.
The "Empower: Fight Like A Girl" anthology features supernatural thrillers, crime mysteries, horror, and comedies. Readers have expressed enthusiasm for the anthology. "Even non-girls will feel empowered by these stories about ordinary, flawed characters finding their own strengths," wrote Lee Goldberg, New York Times bestselling author of "The Chase" and "King City," whose mother lost her hearing to lupus.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/9/2013 (1421 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A 50-year-old home-care worker is accused of stealing purses from elderly residents in Russell, Foxwarren, the RM Silver Creek and St. Lazare.
RCMP allege the Binscarth woman is responsible for several break-and-enters and thefts between Sept. 20-23.
Debbie Ann Smith was arrested on Wednesday and is being held in custody. She will appear in Brandon provincial court today.
Anyone with information on this care, or who might have been victimized, is encouraged to call Russell RCMP at 204-773-3051.
Anonymous tips can be made to Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) or www.manitobacrimestoppers.com, or text "TIPMAN" plus your message to Crimes (274637).
Just days ago, RCMP warned citizens in western Manitoba about thefts where elderly residents were targetted.
Police said the thefts had "disturbing similarities." In most cases, a young woman showed up at the doorstep asking to use the washroom. When the elderly resident allowed the woman inside, a purse was stolen. In two incidents, two elderly women were pushed down during the thefts and suffered minor injuries.
The victims are between the ages of 78 and 90 years old; many live in their own homes.

|Deploying Network Access Control by Stealth
Juniper Networks has an excellent Network Access Control (NAC) solution, it's called "Unified Access Control" (UAC), don't take my word for it, Garter thought so too. Therefore, everyone should be using it; so hands up everyone who's fully implemented NAC to the desktop! (At this point imagine dusty tumbleweeds blowing about the place). The need for NAC hasn't really gone away, it's just been transmuted into another, more pressing problem; the need to support "Bring your own Device" (BYOD) policies. The danger is that without grasping this particular nettle, it's extremely likely you'll end up with several disparate solutions for wireless guest access, remote access and desktop management which are ultimately different sides of the same coin (if you can imagine a coin with three sides). That is to say that you have a bunch of devices on the network and you need to control them, somehow.

Tayshaun Prince is the face of the veteran leadership for the Detroit Pistons. He is one of the few veterans that were kept around after the players revolted against head coach at the time, John Kuester. While the organization rid itself of the majority of the mutinous leadership, Prince was kept on at the urging of newly hired head coach, Lawrence Frank. Now Frank may be regretting this decision.
Late last week Prince questioned his coach's substitution choices following a loss to the Orlando Magic, and while all people are entitled to their opinions, Prince chose to share his with the media.
"[Substituting] isn't my decision but we need to figure out some things to do when teams are making runs to get us a good opportunity at the rim or the foul line."
Prince felt that Frank made a poor choice in substituting all five players on the floor and putting the second unit out on the floor in the midst of a Magic run.
"If I was Coach, I would've made a decision sooner than he did," Prince said. "A 6-0 run, call a timeout. Bam-bam, we come back out, nothing happens, bam (make a substitution). If you gotta make a choice, you have to make a choice. (He) went too long."
Unfortunately for Frank, Prince is not the only player voicing his frustration to the media; Will Bynum chose to add his voice to the mix as well, telling the Detroit News that the rotations are unlike anything he has experienced before.
"I'm having to adjust to everybody. I'm playing with so many different people. First I go from not playing with [Rodney] Stuckey to playing with Stuckey every day." the frustrated point guard complained, "I go from playing with Kyle [Singler] all the time to never playing with Kyle. I'm playing with Tayshaun [Prince]. Early on I was playing with Brandon [Knight] and I never played with him in two years since I've been here. It's all over the place right now."
So far, the Pistons have been sticking by their coach, but one has to wonder how long before Lawrence Frank is officially on the hot-seat. If he can get his locker room back under control, then he may have a chance to retain his position, but in order to do that, the Pistons need to start winning. That could be hard to do if the players refuse to put forth the effort necessary on the court.
It is unfortunate that the organization could be facing such an embarrassing issue just two years removed from the last incident. Having the players openly question their head coaches decisions is never a good sign of things to come, and it would not be a surprise if Frank is eventually forced out.
If the worst scenario were to play out, Joe Dumars and the rest of the Pistons front office are going to have to finish what they started two years ago. This time they need to pull all of the weeds and not let one rebellious player keep a spot on a Detroit roster, not even as an equipment manager.

Serviced Component Overview
A serviced component is a class that is authored in a CLS-compliant language and that derives directly or indirectly from the System.EnterpriseServices.ServicedComponent class. Classes configured in this way can be hosted in a COM+ application and can use COM+ services by way of the EnterpriseServices namespace. For a list of supported services, see Summary of Available COM+ Services.
COM+ services, such as automatic transactions or Queued Components, can be configured declaratively. You apply service-related attributes at design time and create instances of classes that use those services. You configure some services by calling methods on service-related classes or interfaces. Some services can flow from one object to another. For example, an object configured to require a transaction can extend that transaction to a second object if the second object also supports or requires transactions.
The COM+ catalog holds the configuration information that you apply to a class implementation. At run time, based on the attributes you apply to your code, COM+ creates a context service layer. The following illustration shows an automatic transaction that flows between two managed objects hosted by COM+.
Services can also flow between COM+ and .NET Framework objects. Each environment controls the implementation and execution of its native code; COM+ always provides the object context.
Client code must call Dispose on serviced components to ensure proper operation.

He is going out on a limb to give fans some great entertainment at reasonable prices, saying, "We're all fortunate to make as much money as we do, and I can surely take a pay cut and help out in these hard times."

Including where you can buy products for under £10.
After all this time, it looks like the secret to radiant beauty has been lurking in your barbecue this whole time.
Beauty products infused with charcoal are all the rage right now – ever since Gwyneth Paltrow praised a juice cleanse using activated charcoal lemonade in her online magazine, Goop. This was the start of the activated charcoal fad, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down.
The all-black-everything ingredient can whiten your teeth, fight bacteria that causes acne, relieve headaches and much, much more.
What is charcoal?
Activated charcoal is similar to the charcoal you use in barbeque, but it's created through a different process.
Basically, materials like wood, coal, rye starch or coconut shells are combined with acid and steam to produce a fine, black powder that is odourless, tasteless and non toxic.
How does it work?
Activated charcoal works by removing toxins through a process called adsorption.
Basically, the molecules of the substance attach themselves to the charcoal so that they aren't absorbed into the body.
It's so effective that someone once took a deadly dose of strychnine mixed with activated charcoal and actually survived the ordeal.
Please don't try that at home.
But if you are susceptible to bloating, or you have an upset stomach – you can buy it in the form of tablets and it works wonders.
What's it used in?
Activated charcoal is popping up in the most unlikely places, like skin and body products, deodorant and even tooth paste.
Now, let's break it down product by product
Charcoal shampoo:
Hask Charcoal With Citrus Oil Purifying Shampoo £6.99
Don't worry — your hair won't turn black when you use this shampoo. Made with charcoal, derived from coconut shells, and combined with lemon and grapefruit oils, it gets rid of excess oil and leaves your hair incredibly soft.
Charcoal toothpaste:
Ecodenta Extra Black Whitening Toothpaste with Black Charcoal & Teavigo £4.49
Putting charcoal in your mouth may seem a little gross but it really is effective when it comes to teeth whitening. The adsorbent qualities let it bind with staining substances like coffee, tea, wine and plaque, so that they wash away when you spit it out. Plus, did we mention that it's healthy for your mouth too? It'll help maintain healthy gums while freshening your breath at the same time.
To whiten your teeth safely with activated charcoal, it's best to dab it on gently, wait about three minutes and then rinse it off. Do not scrub your teeth with activated charcoal or you might damage the enamel, which will cause sensitivity and make your teeth more susceptible to cavities.
Charcoal drink:
Botanic Lab Isotonic Juice £5.99
In addition to using charcoal for your everyday beauty, you can also drink it — and it's actually quite yummy. Botanic Lab was the first place to sell a drink with activated charcoal, and it remains their best selling juice. This concoction creates an alkaline environment inside your body, which prevents diseases from thriving.
It's some serious stuff. Packed with raw cane grass, lemon juice and yuzu fruit, it tastes rather like particularly tart lemonade.
Miracle in a bottle? We think so.
Charcoal face mask:
Quick Fix Facial Purifying Charcoal Mask £4.99
Not only is charcoal great for inside your bod, but it does INCREDIBLE things for your complexion as well.
When applied to the skin, it draws out impurities, leaving the skin smooth and detoxified. Because activated charcoal works best the longer it's left on the skin, it is widely used and its benefits are maximized when applied to skin in the form of a face mask.
Face masks can be great for all skin types and are often used to help control oil and acne problems.
Charcoal soap:
Charcoal Detox Soap £4.50
Adding charcoal to your daily face-washing routine will give you a super deep clean. While this charcoal bar is tough enough to get rid of that extra dirt and grime, it will make your body feel baby-soft.
What more could you want?
Give charcoal a try.
