Trust is
broadly understood as holding a positive perception about the actions of an individual or an
organisation. While trust may be based on actual experience, it is for the most part a subjective
phenomenon, reflected in the eyes of the beholder. Trust in government represents the confidence of
citizens and businesses in the actions of governments to do what is right and perceived as fair.
Most importantly the legitimacy of governments is built on being trusted by their citizens, as trust
is mainly an enabler of fluent and effective interactions between governments and citizens.
measures of trust in government are based on perception surveys. Data from the Gallup World Poll is
used here; this is the only survey that collects annual data since 2005 for OECD countries as well
as strategic partners. However, one of the shortcomings of this survey is that it only asks a single
question about whether or not people have confidence in their national government. It does not
differentiate between politicians and the bureaucracy nor allow the identification of government
actions that might cause citizens to trust or distrust their government. As cultural factors have a
large influence on the differences in trust levels across countries, rather than comparing absolute
levels, the comparison of changes in trust levels over time and across countries is presented. The
years selected are 2007 and 2014 (2007 being the last year before the financial and economic crisis
that started in 2008).
From 2007
to 2014 on average confidence in national governments across OECD countries declined 3.3 p.p. from
45.2% to 41.8%. During this period the steepest declines took place in Slovenia (30 p.p.), Finland
(29 p.p.), Spain (27 p.p.) and Portugal (22 p.p.). However, some countries experienced increases in
trust levels for the same period, notably Germany (25 p.p.), Israel (22 p.p.) and Iceland (22 p.p.).
Changes in trust levels could be affected by many factors, including the economic outlook, political
changes (e.g. elections) or other major events, such as disasters or major scandals (e.g. corruption
cases). Moreover, expectations by citizens could grow at a faster pace than government responses,
challenging the confidence of citizens in the ability of governments to react to new demands.
evidence suggests that citizens' trust in government reflects primarily their approval of their
country's leadership. Evidence also shows that trust in government is negatively correlated with the
perceived levels of corruption in government. Misuse of public resources or inadequate behaviour by
government representatives shape public opinion on the overall trustworthiness of government.
trust in governments is essential to reinforce and consolidate the foundations of modern states. It
is also a necessary condition for governments to successfully carry out public sector reforms.
Better understanding of the drivers and dimensions of trust is required to disentangle its
multidimensionality. Consequently, a refined measurement of trust in government and in public
institutions is needed to enable governments to propose and adjust actions aimed at regaining trust
from their citizens.
Data were
collected by Gallup World Poll. The World Poll uses proportional stratified probability sampling and
has a sample of 1000 citizens in each country. There is more information at: www.gallup.com/-services/170945/world-poll.aspx.
11.1: Data refers to the percentage who answered
"yes" to the question "Do you have confidence in national
government" Data for Chile, Hungary and Iceland are 2013 rather than 2014.
11.2: Data for approval of country leadership represent
the percentage of "approve" answers to the question: "Do
you approve or disapprove the job performance of the leadership in this country?"
Data for C-anada, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Korea and Mexico are for 2013 rather
than 2014.
11.3: Data for the perception of government corruption
represent the percentage of "yes" answers to the question
"Is corruption widespread throughout the government or not?" . Data for
Australia, Ca-nada, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Korea and Mexico are for 2013 rather
than 2014.

Movie Trailer for BIG MOMMAS: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't even watch this trailer all the way through, so I don't expect you will either. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son just looks like a piece of crap. This is the third installment of Martin Lawrence's Big Momma franchise. I can't believe it's a franchise!
In the film, FBI agent Martin Lawrence's cross-dressing alter-ego, Big Momma, heads to an all-girls school with his stepson, Trent in order to hunt down a murderer.
The movie was directed by John Whitesell, and stars Martin Lawrence, Brandon T. Jackson, Jessica Lucas, Faizon Love, Emily Rios, Portia Doubleday and Michelle Ang.
The movie comes out on February 18th, 2011, just so you know when not to see the movie.

1. What are your qualifications and where can I check?
2. Do you have a specialty and where can I verify this information?
3. What are the treatment options you offer me?
Why dental implants often the first choice and standard of care compared to other options to restore missing or damaged tooth?
Solid and stable, a dental implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels and works like a natural tooth. Other solutions may they lead to a deterioration of the bone, and interfere with your way of eating, smiling, talking and other activities of daily life.Read more ...
Reimbursement of dental care by health insurance is really not at the level of contributions. It is recognized, with the glasses, it is the major weakness of the French system.
The rate under agreement by the social security system for a dental crown is 107,48 euros, reimbursement by the Health insurance thus amounts to EUR 75,23. The actual rate applied by dentists may vary between 200 and 750 euros.

This invention relates to further aspects of a particular method for operating a multiprocessor as a central control unit of a switching system. European patent application No. 141 245 discloses this kind of switching system. The error or defect detection for error protection of a dual processor module of such a processor can, for example, be accomplished in accordance with the European patent application No. 140 155. Both these European applications correspond to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 657,954 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,598,687 filed Sept. 19, 1984.
Such a central control unit must be extremely tolerant of errors, that is, errors or defects that occur, should be rapidly detected and defective as well as suspected elements, for example, processors of the central control unit, rapidly eliminated before additional errors result from the error or defect, which can affect the operation of the switching system. For that reason not only the processor unit, but the bus system and the memory blocks of the central memory are normally redundant or doubled in these central control units and protected against errors through precise synchronous parallel operation, apart from a possible tolerable timing slip between these "synchronous parallel" driven components.
Furthermore, such a central control unit, despite its extremely high error tolerance must also exhibit an extremely high availability, that is, any outage time or downtime of the entire central control unit must be limited to less than a few seconds or minutes per year despite uninterrupted operation. A failure in one of the central processors of the central control unit should almost never be allowed to result in a more or less extensive collapse of the switching operation.
An object of the present invention is to increase the reliability of the central processors utilized in central control units.
A primary object of the invention is, therefore, to insure a high degree of tolerance for errors by self testing of the processors and therewith, the maintenance of the actual uninhibited operation.
A further object of the invention is to raise the availability and reliability of the switching operations.
A feature of the present invention is to provide an arrangement wherein a processor that is error/defect suspect, perhaps already when only one single error has occurred, is isolated from the bus system, whereupon it tests itself without external assistance.
Further illustrative embodiments of the invention enable particularly elegant operating variations of this processor, whereby the error tolerance and also the operation of the central control unit be further enhanced. If, for example, the processor in question does not detect a permanent error/defect during self testing, it is capable of reconnecting itself to the bus system. If, however, it detects a permanent error/defect during this self test, it remains isolated from the bus system. Since typically there are several of such independent processors each capable of similar continuous operation in switching activity in a redundant manner at the same time, one or more of the processors connected to the bus system are able, at all times, to take over the assignments of each defective processor which remains isolated. Thus the central control unit generally continues to remain operational to a greater extent despite the long term isolation of one or even a number of processors.
The invention, therefore, prevents the propagation of errors occurring in the processors into the remaining operation of the rest of the central control unit, and thereby into the operation of the entire switching system. The error propagation is rapidily and dependably stopped. Therefore, the switching system is made particularly tolerant of errors, and highly available and highly reliable.
Additional embodiments of the invention permit the operation of the respective defective or error suspect processor, to be further improved. In one embodiment of the invention, the re-establishment of the full original and total operation of the central control unit continues when only a sporadic single timing error is detected, at minimum expense, i.e. simply by means of a command stored in local memory. In a further illustrative embodiment of the invention, the subsequent repair of the defective portion of the processor that has been identified in more or less detail, localized and/or typified through self testing is made easy for the subsequent maintenance, at least positive indications allowing localization are provided, rendering unnecessary to affect a random exchange of the entire respective processor for a repair. In a still further embodiment of the invention the further processing of the test program renders unnecessary as soon as the command at which this test program was interrupted is already logged in the diagnostic register (REG).
Additionally, an embodiment of the invention utilizes the timely elimination of a erroring processor so that in the interest of avoiding loss of time it no longer receives switching instructions. In another embodiment, a simplification of remote error diagnosis of the processors is provided. Restrictions on the total operation of the central control unit may be avoided even during the occurrence of an error in a processor unit. The switching operations may continue until the next maintenance of the central control unit by on-site inspection.
Further features and embodiments of the invention and additional objects thereof will be more readily appreciated and better understood by reference to the following detailed description which should be considered in conjunction with the drawing.
An illustrative embodiment of a central control unit is depicted in the sole FIGURE. This type of central control unit is very similar to the type shown in the FIGURE and discussed in the description of the following German patent applications control unit, described in the additional German patent applications P 33 34 773.5, P 33 34 792.1, P 33 34 765.4, P 33 34 766.2, P 33 34 797.2, and P 33 34 796.4. All these German applications correspond to the aforementioned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 657,954 as well.
In the foregoing German patent applications, however, only various other aspects are addressed related to objects and/or aspects which are different from the present invention. The invention is applicable to all of these applied arrangements. Therefore, since the principles and general characteristics are previously known and described in detail in these prior patent applications, it is unnecessary to describe the construction and operation of the present central control unit in complete detail again. Instead it is adequate to discuss only upon the particular matters and techniques as they relate in accordance with the present invention.
The sole FIGURE includes central processors designated CP0 . . . CP11, IOC0, IOC1 . . . , with integrated redundant processor building blocks, PU, e.g. with integrated double 32-bit microprocessor chips PU. These processor units PU are driven in synchronous step in parallel, apart from a possible tolerable timing slip, and therefore carry out the actual error protected interconnects, for which purpose they contain, or have been associated with, at least one independent error detection circuit, e.g. EDC circuits, parity-bit networks and/or comparison circuits V, particularly for the immediate checking of instructions which includes commands and/or data being processed by both processor units PU, of the respective processor. Each of the processors CP, IOC contains individual local memory LMY, LMY:IO, with a RAM section and in particular a ROM section, i.e. a PROM section, which store at least partially similar error diagnostic programs namely test program sections for self testing the respective processor, and which store switching program sections, in particular the most frequent and/or most quickly needed switching program sections required by the respective processor CP, IOC.
The central memory CMY, to which the central processors CP, IOC have access over the dual bus system B:CMY0/B:CMY1, store at least various seldom and/or not immediately needed switching program sections required by a central processor CP, IOC, as well as data--accessible at least temporarily--for several or for all processors CP, IOC which data concern a multiplicity of connections existing at that time, and concern peripheral system device features.
As soon as an error is detected by at least one of the error detection circuits, for instance, by one of the processor comparison circuits V in the respective processor, for example in CPx, at least if this error is not easily correctable, the output signal of the respective error detection circuit, starts a process to isolate the respective processor CPx from the bus system B:CMY0/B:CMY1, e.g. by means of an I/O unit, and starts the read-out of the respective test program section for such trouble, stored in the ROM-part of the local memory LMY (and/or LMY:IO). Thereupon the two processor units PU of this processor CPx begin to process this test program for the more specific location and/or typfication of the respective error or of the defect which causes such errors. Through the isolation of the respective processor CPx, the propagation of the error through the entire switching system is avoided. In other words, a high tolerance for errors is achieved. The immediately introduced self testing simplifies the subsequent error diagnosis for maintenance service staff, and the possible repair necessary is very specific, and in general limited to a small portion or section of the respective processor. In the event that no indication of an error/defect is established during test processing, the respective processor CPx reconnects itself again, preferably on its own, with the bus system B:CMY0/B:CMY1, so that the original extremely high operational availability is restored to provide a minimum of downtime.
The subsequent failure diagnosis of the defective processor is also especially rapidly and simply possible if, in the event that an indication of an error/defect is established during test processing, an error code corresponding to this error/defect for example, the address of the related test program section command, is stored in a diagnostic register REG of the respective processor CPx.
When an error/defect has been adequately localized and/or typified, it is even possible, immediately after storing the error code, to interrupt processing of the test program.
If the defective processor CPx is simply left isolated from the bus system B:CMY it may immediately be by-passed during the normal distribution of switching commands so that the isolation does not result in a loss of time for the entire switching system whereby the effect of the isolation on the operation of the central control unit remains very limited.
The remote diagnosis of all errors/defects and the corresponding appropriate preparation for the subsequent servicing of the central control unit is possible, by means of a special processor, at an operation and maintenance station for example, which may access over the bus system B:CMY0/B:CMY1 at least to each respective processor CPx, although this respective processor CPx is isolated from the bus system B:CMY0/B:CMY1, for interrogating the contents of its diagnostic register REG via a special interrogating code.
In the event that a direct indication of the error/defect of only one of the two processor units PU occurred, e.g. by an associated EDC circuit or an associated parity bit network of this respective processor unit PU, this respective processor unit PU alone, may be isolated and normal processor operation may be maintained via the other processing unit PU of this respective processor, thus leaving the central control unit in its previous high state of availability. It is also desirable, during that isolation of the single processor unit PU, to log an indication of this condition for the maintenance service staff, for example, again in the diagnostic register REG which may even be remotely interrogated by the operation and maintenance station. The repair of this processor may then be included in preparing procedures for the subsequent maintenance.
There has thus been shown and described a novel arrangement and technique for providing error protection in multiprocessor central control unit of a switching system which fulfills all the objects and advantages sought therefore. Many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications of the subject invention will, however, become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification and the accompanying drawing which disclose the preferred embodiments thereof. All such changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention which is limited only by the claims which follow.

Tips for Online Education
Brick and Mortar??
Overlooked Pointers
Are you thinking of going to school online? If so, please let me be of service.My name is Jordan Walker. Yes I would like to give you some helpful tips if you are choosing to seek higher education via an online platform. On what grounds do I have the authority to advise you? Well I am a seasoned online student who has tried several different schools before I found the one that really worked for me. These are some tips I wish someone would have told me about when I set out on my quest for finding the right online school.
- Are you and online education compatible?
Before you make the leap to gain your college all your education on the world wide web, make sure you can sit at your computer for long periods of time. Yes even though you are not in a classroom sitting at your computer is a requirement. Also are you self motivated? Will you get on the computer boot it up and instead of facebooking first you do your class work instead? I heard this a lot when I was just starting out, I thought I can do it. What people don't tell you is that it is not just getting on your computer it is figuring out a lot of the course work on your own. I am not saying teachers are going to leave you stranded, but I am saying you may have a simple question which can be found by searching the internet a bit instead of emailing your teacher and then wasting time waiting for a reply. You have to seek out your education harder than you would than if you were attending a brick and mortar. Which brings me to my next point, communication.
2. Communication and you.
Good communication when going to an online school is an absolute must! When looking for an online school for yourself check and see if teachers provide an email where they can be reached. Also look and see if they have a phone number that they can be reached at as well. In my experience a good teacher will give you a number to reach them in case of emergencies. As far as communication with you class goes, this is a must as well, I have never been in an online platform where the class was NOT required to communicate with each other. In the schools I have been too up to 30% of your grade was determined by your activity on the posting boards for your classes. Last but not least for communication, it is a lot harder to make friends in an online school. I know some people may think they don't need to but half of college is all about contacts and getting to know people whom you can befriend and help out in the future. So if you decide to go the online school route go the extra mile and make some pals.
3. Requirements...
When I first started attending online school I had no clue I needed certain things for my computer. I thought "Oh, I just need an internet connection and word." Wrong! Check what you need for not only software for your computer, but if you have the correct computer. It is rare, but some schools require that you operate on PC or MAC. Check and see if you need to order books or not. A lot of times you will but in some cases the fee for books is included in tuition and they send you e-books. Some people think this is a scam of some sort but a lot of fully accredited schools do it.
These are just a few pointers potential students may overlook when seeking answers to bigger questions about online schools. So I hope this helped you out a little bit and good luck and god bless.

Being a business owner, you certainly want to make sure that individuals understand what you do. So as to make this occur, it is important to provide promotional items on hand at all times. This can be perfect not only for patrons also for staff. Remember, every time an employee goes out within the community wearing a company T-shirt, they're doing a small type of marketing in this company. Another advantage is the fact that they are really wearing something which ended up being totally free.
Take time to contemplate a number of the various business promotion items at this time. Consider conference giveaways also. When there is a big convention approaching someday shortly, it is important to be sure that all people have a good gift item as the memory concerning exactly where these were and the reason why they were presently there. There are numerous of promotional gifts that might be ideal for any company proprietor. Java glasses, key rings, umbrellas, baseball hats, lanyards, T-shirts a whole bunch more.
Check out this website to learn more about what this specific identification supplier is capable of doing to help you on this process. There is a variety of high-quality items that are for sale to a very reasonable value. These things could have the company emblem positioned in a place where others are certainly likely to notice. Every employee needs identification involving some sort. If this is the situation, look into printed ID cards. This can be a little something which they will wear about their particular neck everyday. A new lanyard is something that will go well with the identity card.
Each and every enterprise owner requires a bit additional assistance in terms of marketing with regard to their company. It makes sense to provide promotional items to ensure that everyone knows just who this company is actually and just what they really need to supply. Just order promotional gifts in large quantities now. Even when there are a few items left over, it will function as the ideal keepsake for brand new staff in addition to visitors to the corporation. It is really an purchase which will set out to cover by itself through revenue.

When you show up for your initial consultation with a bankruptcy attorney you need to be ready to answer some questions about your financial situation and what you are hoping to achieve.
You also need to be ready with some questions for the attorney. After all, you will be placing an important part of your life in this person's hands. You deserve to be comfortable with their answers so you can heave peace of mind about the road ahead.
"Is Bankruptcy The Right Choice For Me?": Thousands of consumers and businesses each year are able to restructure their financial situation and be free from crushing debt by filing for bankruptcy. However, bankruptcy is not the only solution or the best solution for everyone.
Your attorney should be able to provide you with information on all of the options available to you, allowing you to make an informed decision about how to proceed.
"How Much Involvement Will This Take On My End?" The bankruptcy process can be very complex, and you are already stressed out due to your debt and the seemingly never-ended harassment from creditors. It's completely understandable if you want a break.
Your bankruptcy attorney should be able to set expectations surrounding your involvement in your bankruptcy case. In most cases, client involvement is minimal and attorneys are able to handle the paperwork, case filings, and any necessary hearings before a judge.
"What Will My Future Look Like?" Bankruptcy lawyers cannot be expected to look into a crystal ball and predict your future, but they should be able to work with your goals in mind. That starts with determining what your ideal life after bankruptcy looks like and devising a strategy to make your reality as close to that as possible.
Now that you know what you need to ask, you are ready to explore your options with a proven bankruptcy attorney. Contact us today to arrange your initial consultation.

Fic: Channelling IantoApr. 21st, 2017 06:16 pm
Title: Channelling Ianto
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Jack, Tosh, Owen, Gwen.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Nada
Summary: Ianto's day started off quite well, but now it's going downhill fast.
Word Count: 2733
Written For: Challenge #27: Channel at beattheblackdog.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: I got this idea from my friend lexxiescott when we were having a conversation about storms. Something she mentioned reminded me of m_findlow 's fic 'Stormy Weather' so I sent her the link for it and before she read it, she had this idea… 'When I saw your description, I got this idea of a cloud that follows Ianto around reacting to his moods, so everyone is doing everything they possibly can to keep Ianto happy so the cloud won't start raining on him, and randomly striking the one that pissed him off with lightning.' After some thought, I realised it could work for this challenge, so I asked permission to use the idea, and here it is. I thought it would be funny, but it's actually a bit sad. Fluffy H/C.

Liberty Belle: Last Week On Holmes
Deborah Coddington's Liberty Belle
Last Week On Holmes
Last week I watched a 'Holmes' programme on a single mother in South Auckland, waiting for a state house and living in a garage with her three children and a dog.
I had to feel sorry for her. This is a miserable state of affairs when the weather's freezing cold and a family has no hot water. She'd made the best of a bad situation - the place looked cosy, the kids had a computer and television -no books that I could see - but it was far from ideal for small children.
Steve Maharey was given a grilling by Susan Wood: "This is not good enough! What are you going to do? Help this family immediately!" etc, etc.
But she didn't ask the obvious question - where is the father/husband/partner of this family?
I felt a bit of sympathy for Maharey. This interview proved a point I have made very strongly in my research into education, carried out at Cambridge University (soon to be published as a monograph). It is just not possible to address social problems in New Zealand - falling education standards, rising crime, increased spending on welfare - without linking these failings to the destruction of the traditional family.
But this has become the problem that dare not speak its name. Public commentators, journalists and academics - the 'bien pensant' elite - bend over backwards to avoid making the link between single parenthood and poverty, lest someone be offended. In a healthy, liberal debate offence may be taken, and that is often a consequence, however it is not the intention and should not result in the debate being closed down.
It's not a hard question for a journalist to ask: where is the father and why is he not providing shelter for this Mum and her children?
In this case he might well be. The Family Court might have driven him out of their lives. He might have just cleared out. He might have more children in another single-parent family. He might be a millionaire, he might be a beneficiary.
We don't know, but as taxpayers being demanded by Susan Wood - via the Minister - to provide a home for four people, we have a right to know. If people make the decision to break up the family unit and go on welfare, then the taxpayers are entitled to some answers. I expect if I turned up on Susan Wood's doorstep and asked her to give my children and me a bed for just one night, she'd want to know why?
My last feature story for North & South before I became an MP was called 'The Overpowering Importance of the Two-Parent Family', and it documented how governments' policies over the years have incrementally eroded the family unit until, I wrote; "If a marriage was too difficult, then divorce was an easy option. If small children made work difficult for a sole parent, then the DPB was there for financial support. The importance of fathers both as economic providers and as male role models was rapidly diminishing, but with little public debate or recognition."
Well there's still very little public debate. To raise the issue risks being labelled a beneficiary basher - stupid insults that get everybody nowhere.
Now this government wants to pass legislation, which will marginalise the traditional family even further - if that's possible. The Care of Children Bill will render fathers (male fathers, that is) ever more redundant because lesbian partners could be defined as fathers - a smack in the face to biological fathers denied access to their own children.
I don't actually have strong views against gays raising children together - so long as the children are unconditionally loved, are safe, and I'm not forced to pay, I don't see I have the right to tell them they can't have children. Trouble is, the Human Rights Act already prevents private fertility clinics from excluding artificial insemination from lesbian mothers. I presume the same laws prevent mothers who put their babies up for adoption from stipulating no homosexuals may take their babies.
I object to the fact that these people choose an abnormal relationship - abnormal in that it is different to the norm - then won't take the consequences for their choice. Instead, they rush to government to pass laws granting them special favours. We'll soon see more of this with legislation allowing 'same-sex marriages'.
Last year when Margaret Wilson's Bill was passed which essentially 'married' couples in a heterosexual de facto relationship, many couples affected were outraged. They felt they'd chosen a particular type of relationship - abnormal to be sure - which put them and their children outside the protection of matrimonial laws and it wasn't the business of government to interfere in their private decision.
They accepted responsibility for their choice and felt, in some cases, the onus was even greater to protect their children's social development by strengthening their emotional, intellectual and financial commitment to the traditional family unit.
I don't care what the modern legislators try to say - a normal family unit is Mum, Dad and the kids. Mum's a she, Dad's a he, and the kids are whatever results. I'm not saying anything else should be illegal, or should be banned from having children. Just don't try and pass it off as a normal family.
The traditional family's worth fighting for. Like Dads, they're fast becoming an endangered species.
Now there's a thought: perhaps if we declared traditional families a noxious pest, and put them in the care of Department of Conservation instead of the nonsensical Families Commission, they'd flourish like possums and rats on DOC land.
Yours in liberty, Deborah Coddington

Us citizens in the United States like to believe that our country is a land of absolute upward mobility. If you work hard enough and have enough dedication, you can get as much economic power and stability as you want. We comfort ourselves by heart-warming stories of those rare people who have gone from rags to riches.
This tends to make Americans unaware of the issues of social class, or the idea that the economic class you are born into is pretty much where you are going to live during your life and that true upward mobility into higher classes is nearly impossible.
It's an idea that is the antithesis of everything we are taught schools, but that is the reality of life in any industrialized country.
Take education. I was born in an upper-middle class lifestyle where I went a good public school and had the money for college. Because of the jobs that my parents had the people we associated with, I had the opportunity to get a decent education that prepared me for higher education. But people born into lower economic class environments generally do not have that luxury. They may not have parental support at home and the facilities of their schools will be lacking. That does not mean that they just slack off and refuse to learn (although that is certainly a big part of the public school system) they do not have the opportunity for the education of upper and middle classes.
That changes life. For every success story of lower class students making it through college there are dozens of stories about students who just can't hack it at a higher education level, if they can even pay for it in the first place. Too bad right?
But education has far-reaching impacts. It effects what sorts of jobs people have, what sort of environment they raise their kids in and even gets into specific experiences like war and drafts. My plan for a draft is really simple. If it starts happening I will go sign up for the Air Force and try to get flying transport planes, hopefully far away from the front lines. Fortunately I've had the education that gives me the opportunity to pass qualifications tests. But what about somebody who never had the chance for a good education?
Everywhere you look social class raises its ugly head. As James Loewen stated:
Social class is probably the single most important variable in society. From womb to tomb it correlates with almost all other social characteristics of people that we can measure. Affluent expectant mothers are more likely to get prenatal care, enjoy general health, fitness, and nutrition. Many poor and working-class mothers-to-be first contact the medical profession in the last month… Rich babies come out healthier and go home to very different situations… Poor babies are more likely to have high levels of poisonous lead in their environments and their bodies… Rich children benefit from suburban schools that spend two to three times as much money per student as schools in inner cities or rural areas. Differences such as these help account for the higher school-dropout rate among poor children.
And how often is this talked about? Unfortunately, discussing social class is (at least subconsciously) considered anti-American. It directly runs contrary to the idea of American exceptionalism and takes pages from Marxist and socialist thought.
For now, there are so many possible solutions and answers to dealing with the issues of class, but the most important thing we can do now is acknowledge it. Talk about social class in academic settings, bring it up in history discussions. Don't let politicians (on both sides of the aisle) lie to you about it, because they benefit the most from the continuation of social class equilibrium.
Only then can we really start dealing the issues our country faces.

Lone lamp posts always remind me of Narnia…
Lone lamp posts always remind me of Narnia…
what if when Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy had walked into the closet they'd landed in medieval Scotland, and suddenly had magical powers…
spare oom. by Carrots-Gilly
"This is the land of Narnia, where we are now; all that lies between the lamp-post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea."
Jehan laughed as he hid from his brother in the spare room of the house they were living in until the war was over. He looked around the room for a place to hid until his eyes fell on a wardrobe. He ran over to it, yanking the door open, climbing in before closing the door. To avoid being found quickly, Jehan moved to the back of the wardrobe behind all the coats. He kept moving back, expecting to hit the back of the wardrobes anytime soon, only to find that the coats had been replaced by branches. He turned to face the branches and walked forward, ending up in an opening with snow covered trees and the ground was covered in snow.

Lighting the Way Home.
As a child, one of my favourite books was The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe, by C.S Lewis. I just loved the idea of escaping into a magical world inhabited by talking animals! If you've read the book, then you may remember the lamp post, which the children find out in the snowy woods as they enter Narnia & which later guides them home at the end of their adventure.
The author, Lewis was friends with Tolkein (Lord of the Rings) & they spent quite a bit of time together in & around the town of Malvern, where Barney & I now live. The story goes, that the scene with the lamp in the book was first thought up by Lewis while he & his friend were walking home from the pub in Malvern, one winter's night. He spotted a lit gas lamp, shining out in the falling snow & commented to Tolkein how it would make for a very nice opening line in a book :)
I love the fact that we still have some of these old fashioned lamp posts lining some of the paths on the lower slopes of the Malvern Hills. We went for a stroll along Happy Valley this afternoon, where Barney's favourite stream is & while walking through the woods on the way home, I noticed one of the lamps ahead had already lit up…

Sesame Street does a very good job of staying current. I remember as I was growing up, Sesame Street attempted to find ways to keep the audience appealed even as they were growing. When I was kid I remember just caring about learning how to count with The Count and how to control greed with Cookie Monster. As I grew up and became more into sports, I noticed that David Robinson was in an episode of Sesame Street and taught Big Bird how to tie his shoe.
Now Sesame Street is taking a page out of Apple's book by using an iPod-inspired video to encourage people to dance. Apple takes their marketing very seriously so I would not be surprised if this video clip had to clear the company's legal department.
Jimmy Kimmel made a Sesame Street spoof where Ernie and Cookie Monster explained the Bernie Madoff scheme back in March and it went viral on YouTube, reaching nearly one million views.

I think it's quite apposite that John Harris's defence of record companies appeared alongside reports of the RIAA's victory over Jammie Thomas. It's rather hard to dredge up any sympathy for a group of companies that have inflicted a $220,000 fine on a person for sharing 24 songs (monetary value from iTunes: $23.76. It's also worth noting that she got away lightly - if it was determined that she was sharing the files 'wilfully', she could have been liable for a fine of $150,000 per song). Especially when, during the course of the trial, they attempted to deny the existence of the space-shifting precedent defined in RIAA vs. Diamond Multimedia.And really? The Klaxons and Kasabian as art over the marketing department? Sure, they're not exactly Rihanna in sales-stakes, but neither are they Disco Inferno. Kasabian are exactly sort of Britpop-revival-by-numbers band that bumps up a record company's figures, aren't they? I'm not going to deny that record companies can be very helpful to a band (I'm a Factory fanatic, after all). I just don't think the current giants are good examples of this tradition. When even Kelly Clarkson has trouble getting her album released, there's something wrong in the Big 5 (or is it 3 now? Sony-BMG-Universal, EMI, and…Warners, I guess?) Anyway, make mine a 99!
Stupid wisdom teeth. Ow.That is all. Except that I've just created the most wonderful Mary Sue for a story…
But.Ha. My Google-Fu is mighty.
You can run over an iPod Shuffle, but you can't wash it.There is possibly a time when these things become too small.

This episode shows the climax of one of my favorite storylines of season 3: J.T.'s crush on Manny. However, I'll get to that later. The main plot involves Sean living on his own after his brother leaves to take a huge job opportunity. To stay in T.O. and keep going to Degrassi Sean must get student welfare, which requires a trustee to sign his papers. One of the stipulations is he must stay in school and get good grades. Here's the part where I mention how much I like "Sellie". Ellie pushes Sean to do his work and she even helps him with it. Had he not been dating her, there's no way he'd be able to stay out on his own for long because he'd have no motivation to do anything. The only thing that's bad about the situation is that Jay and the "Montreal Crew" keep throwing parties at what Sean calls "Our House". It all comes to a head when Amy passes out from drinking too much and Sean's forced to call for an ambulance.
As I mentioned before, the J.T./Manny plotline from season 3 is one of my favorites of the series. I love how J.T. is all cool until Manny comes around, then he's all of a sudden acting like a lovestruck puppy. Manny plays a very cute role in this episode as the girl that thinks noone wants to go to the dance with her. J.T. does, and he finally gets the nerve to ask her, but then he sees her with Craig and thinks something's going on between them. So what? They could've been talking about anything. Then he proceeds to imply to her that he thinks she's a slut. Any girl in her right mind would've kicked J.T. in the nuts for saying that. But of course Manny isn't in her right mind: she's desperate for positive attention, anything to get rid of her her "sluttyesque" reputation.
This episode was a turning point in the lives of Sean Cameron and J.T. Yorke. Sean relizes that he must act more mature, because he has a lot more responsibilities than a teenager his age should have. J.T. liked Manny regardless of her reputation, but his actions after seeing her with Craig were influenced by his conversation with Spinner. J.T. learned that things aren't alwys what they seem, and sometimes it's best to trust your judgment over others.

28 Jun Where Next for Graduate Employment?
The subject of 'Graduate Employability' has become a hot topic within the Higher Education sector. Glen Newton, Key Account Manager from Gradvert attended the recent Westminster Higher Education Forum: Where Next for Graduate Employment the event focused on supporting HE Institutions ensure that their degree programmes are shaped to the changing needs of industry.
Gradvert has successfully launched our employability programme with universities and we attended the forum to explore and discuss ways of ensuring degree programmes support in developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours employers are looking for from their graduates.
Chaired by MP Chloe Smith (all-party parliamentary group for youth employment) with a panel of guest speakers, the event provided an update on key areas of graduate employability across the UK.
We have summarised some of the highlights from the event for you:
- Making Degrees Relevant to Employer Needs: Research shows that despite making huge strides in graduate employment outcomes, graduate employers are still massively held back by skills shortages and unfilled vacancies.
- Embedding Employability into Academic Framework: Higher Education Institutions need to develop a unified approach to employability; engaging students and staff with a common language about the importance of employability.
- Improving Graduate Employability: Engaging students in employability development is a challenge but increasingly there is a need for methods that are digital and engaging.
- Skills Survey (Key Skills Gaps in UK Labour Market): There is an expanding labour market, however there are still major skills gaps in the UK. There is a need from universities to support students in developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to acquire successful employment.
One of the ways that Gradvert supports higher education institutions is to add value to your degree programmes through the development of an 'endorsed employability talent programme'.

Incident Report (Stephie)
Age: 32
Sex: Female
Time in Sport: Three Years
Number of Jumps: 500-plus
Skydives Within the Last 12 Months: Unknown
Cause of Death: Impact under a partially inflated reserve following a low-altitude cutaway
Description: Following an uneventful group freefall after exiting a Skyvan at 14,000 feet during a large-formation head-down skydiving camp, this jumper tracked away from the group at 5,500 feet and deployed her main canopy at approximately 3,000 feet. The main canopy inflated and immediately spun into line twists. Investigators found that one brake--the report did not indicate which one--released at some point during the deployment and caused the line twists. A jumper under canopy reported seeing this jumper below him, spinning rapidly under her main canopy. When he was at approximately 2,000 feet, he saw her cut away at an unknown altitude but lower than the witness' altitude.) He stated that she remained in freefall for a long period of time before he saw the reserve deploy, but the report did not specify how much time that was. Witnesses on the ground stated that at approximately 300 to 500 feet, the jumper pulled her reserve ripcord. The automatic activation device's cutter activated at approximately the same time. However, the reserve canopy did not have enough time to fully inflate, and the jumper struck the ground two to three seconds later under a partially inflated canopy. The hard impact killed her instantly.

SeaWorld's Hypocrisy
As you know, SeaWorld has been being pummeled over the past week as a judge hears from the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and witnesses about the accident in 2010 in which trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by a captive orca named Tillicum.
SeaWorld is fighting being fined by OSHA and by proposed regulations from OSHA that would effectively bar trainers from entering the waters with captive orcas, threatening SeaWorld's profits of which 75% is attributed to the orca shows alone.
Many former SeaWorld trainers have come forward expressing their concerns that SeaWorld was covering up the dangers trainers faced in working with orcas and that orcas are simply not suitable for captivity.
Now, SeaWorld, in addition to fighting in court, is trying to snow the public with a new press release, entitled: "SeaWorld Uses Ingenuity to Save Rescued Whales, Dolphins, Sea Lions."
The PR statement says: "Few are aware that SeaWorld operates one of the world's most respected wildlife rescue programs and has treated more than 18,000 animals over the last four decades."
You can read the full SeaWorld press release here:
Yes, SeaWorld saves some marine mammals. This is true.
But everything is relative.
Relative to the profit that SeaWorld makes every year ($1.4 billion last year) their rescue program is but a token effort.
And contrary to their claims in their press release that the "goal for every rescue is to be able to successfully return the animal," SeaWorld often keeps these animals in captivity for their displays and shows instead of releasing them back into the wild.
(The federal Marine Mammal Protection Act states that captures of marine mammals for captive purposes must be done in a humane manner. This is why SeaWorld and other aquariums in the US have not captured any new dolphins in the wild for a number of years – capturing dolphins and orcas in the wild is inherently an inhumane practice involving nets, chases, and often drive hunts that kill many of the animals outright. On a complaint filed in 1992, the federal government blocked the import of cetaceans from Taiji to Six Flags Discovery Park (formerly Marine World Africa USA) in Vallejo, CA, due to this law, and ever since US marine parks like SeaWorld have had to either breed their own dolphins and orcas in captivity or retain stranded animals by claiming they could not be released back.)
If they were here in Thailand helping the Dolphin Project Team and I stop these two new dolphin abusement parks from starting up, and in the Solomon Islands and Taiji, stopping the trafficking and slaughter of thousands of dolphins, or in the desert of Egypt speaking out against captive dolphin abuse, or in Indonesia doing something to end the extreme suffering of captive dolphins in traveling circuses, then SeaWorld might have some credibility.
But they choose to pretend the abuse and suffering are not associated with their industry. They refuse to police their industry and help abolish the dolphin trafficking conducted by "Ocean Embassy" (former SeaWorld trainers Ted Turner, Robin Friday et al).
They refuse to help crack down on fellow member aquariums in the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) which, as we speak, are getting dolphins from the inhumane and bloody dolphin drive hunts in Taiji, Japan. Indeed, the Taiji Whale Museum, which supervises the hunts and trains wild dolphins for captivity is a member of JAZA, the WAZA affiliate in Japan!
Theirs is an industry of hypocrites.

Ric O'Barry, Dolphin Project Founder & Director has worked on both sides of the captive dolphin issue, making him an invaluable asset in the efforts to end exploitation. He worked for 10 years within the dolphin captivity industry, and has spent the past 40 working against it.
In the 1960s, O'Barry was employed by the Miami Seaquarium, where he captured and trained dolphins, including the five dolphins who played the role of Flipper in the popular American TV-series of the same name. He also trained Hugo, the first orca kept in captivity east of the Mississippi. When Kathy, the dolphin who played Flipper most of the time, died in his arms, O'Barry realized that capturing dolphins and training them to perform silly tricks is simply wrong.
From that moment on, O'Barry knew what he must do with his life. On the first Earth Day, 1970, he launched a searing campaign against the multi-billion dollar dolphin captivity industry and has been going at it ever since.
Over the past 40 years, Ric O'Barry has rescued and rehabilitated dolphins in many countries around the world, including Haiti, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Brazil, the Bahamas Islands and the United States. He is a leading voice in the fight to end brutal dolphin hunts in Japan, the Solomon Islands, the Faroe Islands, and wherever else they occur.
O'Barry has been recognized by many national and international entities for his dedicated efforts, such as being voted Huffington Post's 2010 Most Influential Green Game Changer, and being listed on O Magazine's 2010 Power List – Men We Admire for his "Power of Passion." O'Barry received an Environmental Achievement Award, presented by the United States Committee for the United Nations Environmental Program. He has done countless interviews with such prestigious news programs as Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper 360, the Mike Huckabee Show, and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
His book Behind the Dolphin Smile was published in 1989; a second book, To Free A Dolphin was published in September 2000. Both of them are about his work and dedication. He is the star of the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove and the Animal Planet television series Blood Dolphin$.

An odd one at the grocery store a couple of days ago.
I've described my gender expression a number of times here, but I should underline it for this day: I was wearing a pair of rock knickers, a button-up shirt (something Patagonia-ish), and a pair of sandals. I don't generally wear makeup publicly, and when I do, it's pretty much only some light eyeliner or eyeshadow, not counting the times I've painted my nails. Which they aren't since I've moved here.
I have longish hair, basically shoulder length. I throw it all over to one side, so maybe that's a little different. I'm clean-shaven, including my legs, but I'm also freckled, so that probably wasn't all that noticeable.
I was at the back of a checkout line, though I only had a bit of stuff. About 80% of the conveyor was open, and I was a good shopper and put that little divider behind my stuff. A young kid came charging into line, plopping the couple of things in his arms up on the belt, his (presumably) mother and sibling coming up behind him in a cart. The mother started to take a few things out to put on the conveyor, looked at me, did a double take, and then, as she stared me down, said to her (presumed) son "let's get in the other line."
They went to the one next to mine. That was twice as long.
This is why I'm not terribly brave in public. It's not being called a fag or ma'am or anything like that—things that have indeed happened here. It's the othering like this. The stares. I don't handle that well. Say what you want about thicker skins and sticks and/or stones, but does anyone really want an awkward moment like that when all they want to do is pick up a bit of produce, a fresh loaf of bread, and something to drink?

Up, up and away
Yes, you read that right.
The selling price for a modest-sized house now costs a minimum 600k; it's higher if it's renovated, a corner/end-lot or well-maintained.
I'm happily waiting for the bubble to burst, yanking along with it the escalating property prices to a whole new low; it's gone up way too high and mind you, it still is. Geez, if I had known then that the property prices would appreciate so much, I should've just placed the 2% deposit for that lovely 1.5 story house and settle the finance with Mama and Papa Carrie with me taking a house loan for the balance.
Well, that shows that once you've missed the boat, it's your bad luck.
Sigh. I wonder what caused the sudden spike in property prices.
Unscrupulous real estate agents?
Greedy owners?
An increase in raw materials?
Land appreciation?
I guess I'll have to wait until an economical crash before I can make my next move. All too great.

Good investment. Worth taking up and sacrificing other things the value of which would drop the moment you've bought it and walked out of the shop. Prices of houses would keep going up and up, that's for sure.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm with you on that, suituapui. It's true; one can never go wrong with property investment if one has enough greens to spare. =)Delete
One problem I have now is that my family and I would be moving abroad soon and my parents aren't going to burden themselves with another housing loan - even though it's for my dream house. And I doubt I'm eligible for a loan myself.
