Road Works in Pickering Get Delayed
11:40am 10th June 2013
Controversial roadworks in Pickering could be delayed by up to three months. Work to build access roads and car parking was due to start today for sixteen weeks taking place from 6pm to midnight. That upset people living nearby who were worried about late night noise.
Lidl say:
"The proposed highway improvement works were approved by the Highway Authority by way of a Section 278 legal agreement and will provide significant betterment to the town of Pickering as a whole. Residents who live in close proximity to the area affected by the proposed improvement works were consulted in 2010 and, to our knowledge, no objections were raised. There has been ongoing liaison with residents of Pickering and the Town Council over the course of the last three years and, more recently, Lidl wrote to the aforementioned residents living on Southgate, out of courtesy, to advise of the proposed start date by the appointed contractor. The improvement works must be completed prior to the store opening for trade as stipulated in the planning conditions.
"The car parking spaces referred to in the email below are within the public highway affected by the works and are not dedicated to any residents or businesses for their exclusive use. The three spaces which are currently utilised by the doctor's surgery have been incorporated into the proposed improvement scheme and will therefore remain in a similar location.
"As elements of the proposed improvement works fall within the A170 carriageway, Lidl are unable to undertake these works during day time hours so as not to interfere with the free flow of traffic through the town. Whilst this may raise concerns with some residents, this is a restriction that has been imposed by the Highway Authority and Lidl have no option but to undertake the improvement works between the hours of 6pm- 12am. The contractor is fully aware of the proximity to residential dwellings and is proposing to carry out the noisier elements of the improvement works in the early evening. The contractor will, however, be able to undertake significant elements of the improvement works during normal working hours as they will not cause disruption to traffic on the A170.
"Lidl have received calls from a number of concerned residents over the course of the last week and are, of course, happy to provide as much information as may be required. We would like to reassure residents that we will seek to undertake the improvement works with due care and diligence and strive to mitigate any disruption or nuisance where possible. It is our intention to undertake the improvement works as quickly as possible and in any event within the 16 weeks currently programmed.
"We look forward to providing a wider choice for shopping in Pickering with the new store proposed to open later this year".

European taxpayers would be right to grumble a bit about the fact that they spent millions of euros/pounds to help re-elect Uganda's President Museveni. US taxpayers can breathe a sigh of relief that the United States government has changed the way it gives aid in Uganda over the last ten years. And, it is staggering how little we Americans know about the level of foreign aid we give.
Foreign aid is a tough sell in most Western countries. Particularly among conservatives, many of whom believe "charity starts at home," people question why we are sending millions of dollars abroad instead of fixing problems domestically. Lawmakers have to continually battle to maintain levels of foreign aid without making it publicly known that the deeper goals of aid are actually strategic rather than compassionate.
Budget Support vs. Project Funding
To even begin to sort out the intricate web of foreign aid, it is important to understand the different ways money is given to recipient countries. Two broad categories, under which you will find many unique approaches, are Direct Budget Support and Project Funding.
To save myself some mental anguish, I will ask my friend Wikipedia to explain the differences to you:
Budget support is a particular way of giving international Development aid, also known as an aid instrument or aid modality. With budget support, money is given directly to a recipient country government, usually from a donor government. Budget support differs from other types of aid modalities such as: 1)Balance of payments support, which is currently mainly the domain of the International Monetary Fund. With balance of payments support the funds go to the central bank for foreign exchange purposes, while with Budget Support they generally go to the Ministry of Finance or equivalent and into the budget for public spending. 2) Project aid – where development assistance funds are used by donors to implement a specific project, with donors retaining control of the project's financing and management.
In practice, budget support varies dramatically and is done in a large range of different ways. One of the broadest distinctions is between general budget support and sector budget support. General budget support is budget support that is unearmarked for a specific sector of government spending. Sector budget support is budget support that is earmarked for use in a specific sector or budget line, e.g. health or education.
Over the years, the balance of aid has shifted back and forth between these modalities. In a non-corrupt system, direct budget support is ideal, because donor dollars are being used to strengthen national systems (like health care, transportation, education, etc) that will be fully independent once the recipient country gets on its financial feet. It also supports the idea that the recipient country knows what its citizens need most and how best to implement those programs rather than the arrogance of a group of foreigners coming in and deciding what programs to implement.
Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world, and many governments around the world are corrupt. This is why often, after a few years of budget support, some countries will shift to project support. They get tired of seeing their contributions being used to buy villas in France for government ministers and they want to have control over that money again.
Europe Likes Direct Budget Support
Last August, the EU sent out a press release, proudly announcing that it had just released 23 million Euros of budget support to Uganda. Five months later, we learned that the Uganda government is broke because the coffers were drained to fund President Museveni's re-election campaign. This is not to even mention the millions of Euros and Pounds that were given by the 12 or so other budget support donors in Uganda.
In the chart below, you can see the the European Commission increased the amount of funding it gives through General Budget Support from 0% to 42% over the last 12 years (the 10th EDF – European Development Fund – goes from 2008 – 2013):
The UK Aid Network makes the lofty statement that "The UK is an international leader on delivering aid through budget support and in
support of national development programs."
Their rationale for giving direct budget support is:
"What is the role of budget support in improving ownership and aid effectiveness?
The aid modality that provides the most significant potential for building and sustaining country ownership and institutions, delivering mass increases in predictable development spending and encouraging donors to work together is budget support – delivering aid directly to the budgets of governments. This form of aid can also help to promote the accountability of governments to their citizens, by putting the focus on national institutions for delivering development assistance rather than donors. Globally only 5-10% of aid is delivered in this way. However, the UK is the global leader in its use; in 2008/9 it delivered 27% of its total bilateral aid and 39% of its bilateral aid to sub-Saharan Africa through budget support (DFID 2009b).
Of course, delivering aid directly to a government's budget requires donors to have sufficient trust in its accountability [emphasis mine], development achievements, respect for citizens rights and level of governance, all factors that go into the UK's assessment of the suitability of countries to receive budget support and their ongoing monitoring of performance."
Budget Support Dollars are Easier to Steal
Once the donor dollars make it into government accounts, it is extremely difficult to track it, or to stop it from disappearing. European donors know full well that their money was taken and used in this election, and even before that they were aware of a certain amount of it getting siphoned off. Donor countries simply have to make a calculation as to how much corruption is acceptable. I have a feeling, though, that the taxpayers who actually contributed the money might have a different standard for what is "acceptable."
USAID Doesn't Give Budget Support
As usual, European donors have threatened to cut off the money tap because of the high level of corruption, even though they won't (that could be a whole 'nother post in itself). In a press conference this month, David Ekerson, the Director of USAID (US Agency for International Development) was asked why he isn't also threatening to cut off the US money. His response was:
"The donors you talk about are budget support donors. American systems work differently. The support donors have expectations based on what will be the outcomes from government and so when you talk about corruption in CHOGM it is specific to what they will have agreed. USAID assistance does not go to support the budget of the government of Uganda. We want to work with the government of Uganda but until we can be sure that the money we provided goes to the people of Uganda and we can track down the vaccination given to kids then we can't give aid."
Basically, the US doesn't trust the Ugandan government with our money. That's good news, particularly given that USAID spent about $341 million here in 2010 (Uganda is the 10th largest USAID program in the world).
Americans Hugely Overestimate Foreign Aid Contributions
While $341 million sounds like a lot of money, foreign aid constitutes a tiny drop in our budgetary bucket. There is a HUGE misconception in the US about how much aid is actually sent abroad. According to a recent poll done by World Public Opinion,
"Asked to estimate how much of the federal budget goes to foreign aid the median estimate is 25 percent. Asked how much they thought would be an "appropriate" percentage the median response is 10 percent.
In fact just 1 percent of the federal budget goes to foreign aid. Even if one only includes the discretionary part of the federal budget, foreign aid represents only 2.6 percent."
The study also showed major differences in estimates based on the respondents' education levels:
"In the current poll estimates of foreign aid vary by education, growing more accurate with higher levels of education. Among those with less than a high school education the median estimate was that foreign aid represented an extraordinary 45 percent of the budget, those with only a high school diploma 25 percent, those with some college at 20 percent. However, even those with a college degree or higher still overestimate by a wide margin, with a median estimate of 15 percent of the budget."
With some people assuming we give as much as 45% of our budget away, it is understandable that this misinformation leads to people wanting to cut foreign aid. It is also important to realize that one third of the total is given to Israel and Egypt, mostly in the form of arms that were manufactured in the United States, thereby boosting American industry. That means that much of our foreign aid doesn't go to helping developing countries or to humanitarian projects. It is a strategic homeland-security investent.
Is Project-based Aid Any Better?
For anyone really interested in diving into this question, it is important to read Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo. She takes a critical look at how foreign aid props up dictators and tyrants and removes their motivation to provide services to their people. For a list of pro- and con- books that give even more perspectives to chew on, check out this list by Philanthropy Action of Top 5 Books on Foreign Aid.
Then, once you've read all of these books, come back and make a comment on this post on whether you think foreign aid works.

"Of all the real estate investing strategies available to investors today, probably my favorite is what is called sub2 or subject to. Buying subject 2 basically means that you as the investor agree to buy a sellers home subject to the underlying financing on the property. One of the things that makes buying this way so effective is many times you can purchase homes without any money of your own, or putting your credit on the line, in other words real estate investing with no money down. You then can turn around and find a buyer of your own that you'll sell to on a lease-option agreement.
- Subject to– real estate investing with no money down
Probably 99% of the time when a person agrees to sell their home subject to they are a number of months behind in their mortgage payments and are seriously close to losing their home to foreclosure."Uh, no. It may be that 99% of those behind in their payments WISH they could sell their home Sub2. However, no legitimate Sub2 investor buys houses that are behind in payments unless they are severely under-priced.
Well, way under-priced houses rarely get sold using Sub2 financing, unless they're wrecks. In fact, the best candidates for Sub2 deals then are newer homes with little or no equity that need ZERO work ...and the owner needs out yesterday, because of illness, divorce, or relocation --- and the need for a SURE closing.
Meantime, once a loan defaults, no Sub2 investor in his right mind is going to take title. The lender will be all over that loan with investigations and profiling. Banks may not call a loan in this market simply because it's in default... but by gawd they'll call the loan if it's in default AND there's been a change in ownership!!!!
Just because we can get the deed on a property doesn't mean we should. This particular idea of buying defaulted properties is financial suicide, if not setting oneself up for abject failure.
Furthermore, if the loan was somehow brought current, and the bank didn't call the loan after an equitable transfer of interest, we would have to get a BOATLOAD of cash from a new buyer for our "lease option" or "land contract" in order to cover the expenses of bringing the loan current (including paying the legal costs and reinstatement fees charged by the loan servicers.)
These costs are always too high for a profitable Sub2 deal to work. So burying our buyer's down payment in loan reinstatement costs, we've got nothing for our work, except maybe a promise of future equity. For that we must wait forever ...meantime no spending money.
"So when it comes to those payments in the arrears, someone must take care of them, either you as the investor-buyer or someone else. What you will obviously do is leave that to your lease-option buyer."Oh, yes, Lease Option buyers always have enough money for us to make a profit, AND enough bring the loan current. Please.
"They will do this by giving you a down payment or what is called option consideration. This amount should be high enough to cover the back payments and any fees or penalties..."Yes, it sure better bloody be enough. Fat chance.
"They then will take over the payments already in place on the home and then at a certain point, for example in 12 to 18 months, apply for a new loan during which time you will be "cashed out" of your position..."Yes, that happens just like that ...in a parallel universe. What actually happens is the tenant/buyer bails, and we sell the house twice, and get another $30,000 down. Yippee. That's the only saving grace for a deal like she's describing.
"There are a myriad of real estate investing strategies, anyone when utilized the right way can prove to be very profitable. But of the many investment strategies buying sub2 is still my favorite. Simply put, buying subject to allows for real estate investing with no money down and you don't have to go through lender qualifying."It may mean no money down for the investor, but it also means NO PROFIT anytime soon for him either.
"So for those credit-challenged individuals, that last part makes this one of the most valuable investment strategies, in fact not just for those starting out looking to learn real estate investing but also for seasoned professionals."
Anyone learning real estate investing from this author is doomed to a horrifying crash and burn. Sub2 is NOT for those with no cash, or a way to buy properties that are months behind in payments.
It's only for sellers with current loan who may not have sufficient equity to pay an agent to market their property, but it's not the answer for a defaulted loan situation.
P.S. I'm supposed to give credit to the author here, but for the sake of the author, I'll just leave that part out. I don't want to expose her ignorance.
If you would like to know how to actually make a LOT of money in Sub2 without getting a black eye ...without rehabs or making back payments ...but find the sellers who are happy to give you their deeds ...without questions ...click below and watch this 22-minute Sub2 presentation I have for you...
How to make great money in Sub2 investing without the a black eye

What is Stress?
"Stress is a positive force that enables you to survive. Too little stress can cause you to be listless and unstimulated, and likely to perform slowly and efficiently. Too much stress can produce unpleasant effects and cause your performance to deteriorate. When you see your environment as taxing or exceeding your ability to cope, thereby endangering your well-being… that is too much stress. Only when demands outweigh your ability to cope does stress start to have negative effects."
-Dr. Trevor Powell in his book Stress Free Life
What causes our stress?
If negative stress is our inner response to a perceived imbalance between the demands in our lives and our ability to cope, then the cause of stress can be found in our own thoughts, feelings and actions. For example, thoughts are our expectations, expressed or unexpressed, and attitudes towards life, people, relationships, etc.; feelings have to do with our emotional reaction changes in our lives; actions are how we behave in dealing with our time, work, money, etc.
Can Stress be reduced?
Yes. But we must be willing to build new habits and make choices which are different from the ones we currently subscribe to. This has the potential of not relieving our stress, but also increasing, in the long term, our health, wellness and yes, our happiness.
What is Stress Management?
Stress Management is the process of changing our inner response to the demands in our lives, thereby adjusting to them more easily.
What are Intercare's Stress Management and Counselling Service?
- Stress Management (SM) Service provides both active approaches (such as stress release exercises) and passive approaches (such as stress relief massage using PT/Myotherapy disciplines) to release tension and bring patients to a state of relaxation and calmness. In the process, patients require stress relief habits and the ability to eventually perform stress relief exercises on their own. A session lasts for one (1) hour. For optimal results, four (4) once-a-week sessions must be completed.
- Counselling Service is a problem-solving approach to reduce stress for individuals, couples, and small groups on:
- Emotional stress due to anger, fear, loss & grief, etc.
- Relationship stress
- Personal core values conflict
- Work/Career-related stress
This program consists of a minimum of four (4) once-a-week sessions at one (1) hour per session. More sessions may be added upon mutual agreement with patient.
Combining any one of the above services with one or both of the following natural stress relief treatments is strongly encouraged to complete the cycle of Stress Management for long term personal health, wellness, and happiness:
- Chiropractic
- Acupuncture
Stress Management and Counselling Services are available by appointment only at the Makati Clinic on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:00pm – 5:00pm.

The fuel additives market that includes biofuels such as ethanol should grow by 6 percent annually from 2015 to 2020, according to a report by TechSci Research.
Increasing demand for specialty fuel additives, abundant availability of biomass feedstock used for production of biofuels, and mandates issued by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) on biofuel consumption should drive the demand for fuel additives.
Fuel ethanol is the most abundantly used fuel additive in the U.S. It's being added to more than 95 percent of gasoline used in the country.
"The U.S. fuel additives market is expected to witness promising growth over the next five years on account of rising demand for cleaner fuels and growing consumer preference towards fuel efficient vehicles," said Karan Chechi, research director with TechSci Research. "The consumption of fuel ethanol in gasoline is expected to remain high and account for a major market share."
The report also identifies and analyzes the emerging trends along with essential drivers, key challenges and opportunities available in the fuel additives market in the U.S.

On Wednesday the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a 2003 Texas redistricting map; ruling that although the Republican dominated Texas Legislature clearly had partisan motives, it did not warrant an unconstitutional gerrymander. In its ruling, the court noted that Texas Democrats once orchestrated an equally partisan remap, described as "the shrewdest gerrymander of the 1990s," says USA Today.
Right or wrong, Texas is not the only state redrawing maps for political gain. For proof, you need only look at the most recent national elections:
- In 2004, only 10 House races were really competitive, decided by less than 5 percentage points.
- In Tennessee, every incumbent won, and the average victory margin was 48 percentage points.
- In California, none of the 173 U.S. House or state legislative seats changed hands.
Partisan districts have always be a part of politics, only today, computers enable them to do it so effectively that no more than a few dozen of the 435 House of Representatives' seats are competitive in any election.
But as formidable as that obstacle seems, it is not insurmountable, says USA Today. In Congress, two bills mandating reforms in every state have garnered 64 sponsors. And several states have already changed their ways:
- In 1980, Iowa turned over remapping to technocrats operating under orders to draw compact and contiguous districts.
- In Arizona, a 2000 voter initiative handed redistricting to a commission, giving it explicit instructions to draw competitive districts.

As the name suggests, half a room's entire volume is filled with air-inflated balloons and then visitors are encouraged to walk through. "It is important to me," says Creed, "that the situation is normal, that, as usual, the space is full of air; it's just that half of it [is] inside the balloons."

Huge mounds of colorful dirt cover the floor and spill out of the space in Katharina Grosse's new installation called "wunderblock". She doesn't limit her painting to the traditional proportions of a canvas – she uses a spray paint gun to establish her work within interior walls and floors or on building exteriors. Read More

Taliera, Inc. Launches Sugar Skull Rum
Scottsdale, Arizona (October 6, 2014) Cocktail lovers, it's time to raise a glass! Sugar Skull Rum, a meticulously-crafted super-premium Rum made from fine Caribbean sugar cane molasses, is coming to a celebration near you.
"The premium and super-premium spirits categories have been growing consistently for most of the past two decades, outpacing the spirits market in general," said J. Smoke Wallin, CEO, Taliera, Inc., exclusive global sales, marketing and distribution agent for Sugar Skull Rum. "Despite its size, the Rum category has yet to produce a break-out brand in the $25-30 price category. Sugar Skull Rum will be that brand."
Sugar Skull Rum (SRP $27.99, 750ml) is an artisan Rum, made from the very best sugar cane molasses carefully sourced from growers' farms throughout the Caribbean and South America. Our Rum is produced at partner distilleries in the Caribbean Islands, who use four-column stills to produce a clean and crisp base Rum, before it is brought into the U.S., where it is filtered, blended and flavored with natural ingredients to produce Sugar Skull's unique taste.
Simply delicious and endlessly versatile, Sugar Skull Rum cuts across traditional product categories and will appeal to anyone who loves a great cocktail and a fun time. "It is a true crossover spirit that can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks or mixed in a number of innovative and traditional cocktails," says Wallin.
At launch, the Sugar Skull Rum portfolio includes Tribal Original (40% ABV / 80 proof), Mystic Vanilla (40% ABV / 80 proof), Native Coconut (21% ABV / 42 proof), Madagascar Wild Berry (31% ABV / 62 proof) and Hellfire Cinnamon (35% ABV / 70 proof) flavors.
The brand's distinctive name and packaging honor the Dia de los Muertos. Often mis- understood as a slightly morbid relative of Halloween, the 'Day of the Dead' is a convergence of European Catholic and ancient Aztec traditions that celebrate those who have left this world but mean so much to the people they touched.
"Sugar Skull Rum was founded on the principle that life should be celebrated and is at its best when we celebrate those who are important to us," said Wallin. "We like being a part of what – and who – people love, so if there is a great time to be had, Sugar Skull Rum will be there. Join us!"
Sugar Skull Rum is initially available in Arizona, California, Nevada and Florida, with a selective rollout planned in additional major markets in early 2015.
About Taliera, Inc.
Taliera was founded in 2006 by beverage industry leader J. Smoke Wallin to incubate, acquire, and grow new and existing brands by combining core brand building expertise, relationships and capabilities with leading edge technologies and innovative business approaches. Taliera is the exclusive global sales, marketing and distribution agent for Sugar Skull Rum.
Sugar Skull Rum created by a group of serial entrepreneurs and innovative thinkers who dared to ask the question: "If not us, then who?" and "If not now, when?
Smoke Wallin heads this team of leaders in the ice cream, beverage, sports, entertainment and hospitality industries, who have combined their expertise to create one of the finest super premium spirits to hit the back bar.
Sugar Skull is a celebration of life. It is the life we live, the lives we touch and those that have touched us. We celebrate them all. Live. Love. Celebrate. How do you celebrate? Sugar Skull Rum.

Threats to Ezreal with this build
|If you fear to be catch in ult go for a QSS.
Hi, welcome to my Ezreal jungle guide.
I'm the kind of player who like to play Champion at the place nobody or not lot of people play them. I love Ezreal so I tried to adapt him to the S6 jungle.
I went 4-0 in normal game when I began to test it so I decided to share with you my way to play it, I hope it will help you :)
You must kite the monster in order to take the less damage you can, you shouldn't take too much damage in the jungle with Ezreal.
Red Buff - Focus the big monster first
Blue Buff - It's up to you
Wraith - Focus little then the big
Wolf - It's up to you
Krug - I use to focus the big one then the little one.
Gromp - Realy hard question, can't answer :/
Don't forget to use your trincket to cover counter jungle, or if you think you'll not be invaded, use it to cover your laner.
Buy if you can an early pink ward to cover one of the midlane side.
Before lvl 6 ganks are just :
Ping your mate (ask him for bait)
Come to the lane
Press right click and Q to deal damage and proc Red buff
Don't use your E too fast, it's useful to dodge CC, finish the enemy after flash out or escape counter gank.
After 6 a thing i like to do is hide in a bush, aim the enemy, press R then gank, it's better than gank and try to finish the target with random R.
Items and Runes (Glyph)
There is no perfect build for Ezreal jungle, i don't play tear because it's too late game.
You can replace some cooldown reduction Glyph by MR runes or whatever you want if you go for other CDR item than jungle item + Iceborn Gauntlet.
Just adapt yourself to enemy team, quicksilver against hard CC, Armor Pen against tank even Zhonya can work if there is Zed in enemy team, because AP scale good on Ezreal.
AP Ezreal jungle ?
I tried Ezreal AP jungle playing the same Runes/Masteries then buying blue item, Rabadon etc.
But it clean jungle slowly even when you've finished Runic Echoes, it doesn't deal a lot of damage and you doesn't have the advantage of perma slow that you have with AD Ezreal.
You can try but i don't recommend it.
Thank you for reading my guide.
Don't forget league of legend is a game so take fun :D
I hope i have not done too much fault (i'm not english), if you have any corrections, help me in comment.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
File sharing limitations
I have an office of 10 computers, 5 of which use advance
computer drafting software. I have a file sharing
computer with Windows 7 professional that is sharing
files to everyone on the network. The network goes down
almost daily. Nobody can access files during this time.
Rebooting the file sharing server fixes the problem.
Correct me if I'm wrong...The max number of users that
can access the shared drives on the computer with windows
7 pro is 20. We only have 10 users. The 5 computers with
advance computer drafting software open 10 to 15 files at
one time for one drawing. Does this have any effect on
the number of users that can access files on the server?
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffI TRAHSED BECAUSE I DONT LIKE IT but youre brain is obviously not capable to accept this so you are catched in your glass prison in your head because you dont know how to process that simple message
Album Rating: 3.5well obviously the beats on this aren't the same as on most indie hip-hop. In a lot of indie hip-hop, like what you listen to, the beats are made by the MC's themselves, like Kno, El-P or Shabazz. They know exactly what to make to complement their rapping so it makes for a much more cohesive sound. In more mainstream hip-hop, the beats are rarely done by the rapper himself, and are often made by different producers on the same album. To a certain degree, this sort of breaks the unity of the sound but in the same manner actually makes the album more varied. The production on this particular album is largely influenced by trap rap and g-funk, so it's perfectly understandable for someone who isn't accustomed to either of these genres not to understand or enjoy the direction of the sound.
Album Rating: 3.5and you guys are assholes, he clearly doesn't have a firm grasp on the english language, but this doesn't mean that he's stupid. I'd like to see you guys have an argument in french and try to sound coherent and intelligent.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffOK I don't like beats, beats are the biggest problem for me all that fuckin beats sounds so cheap for
me... next thing I don't like is singing "R&B like" hooks sooo ...hooks are another problem next thing
I really dont like is Kendrick flow he sounds really boring to me, lyrics are .... ok most of time
Album Rating: 4.5i didn't realize kendrick lamar was mainstream damn i'm losing touch
anyway back into my cave of non-stop Mountain Goats and GY!BE
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffI've said everything important in my soundoff and thank you Buzz you clearly have a clue what I am talking about. I dont have problem with another opinions I even dont flame people who posting "stupid indie shit" below my favourite release Skelethon by Aesop Rock so I think rosa have a problem with understanding of another opinions he simply doesn't want to accept that someone might have some negative comment on his favurite LP
Album Rating: 3.5Nah, I totally get where you're coming from. If I would've heard this 2-3 years ago, I'd probably have thought it was utter shit and not bothered listening to it again. Listening to any genre of music takes getting accustomed to.
It would be nice if people would acknowledge that they aren't sufficiently accustomed to a genre for their opinion of it to be relevant. I mean, someone who only listens to metal should know that if he doesn't enjoy listening to rap, it's not because the genre is all trash but rather because he's clueless on the subject.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offit's more difficult to find more mainstream track than for example "Swimming pools"
It has everything what mainstream song need ...autotuned voice, easy remembered hook (which is poorly
executed that singing ripping my ears) lot of publicity and easy understandable lyrics and I almost
forgot that videoclip where kendrick wears 6 golden chains on his neck he can easilly collab with
2chainz album should be called 2+6chainz entirely produced by Just Blaze who created good beat
before.... well never
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffI dont have problem with another genres I like a few rock bands, I like some Jazz stuff alike some weird electronic LP's I like indie hip hop because most of time these artists took another stuff from another genres... but when I am listening mainstream hip hop LP's most of time I heard only 2 looped drums samples
Album Rating: 3.5JUST BLAAAZZEEE
Album Rating: 3.5Eh, I disagree. I think the hook is catchy, and while Kendrick isn't the best singer, he makes it work. The concept is also rather unique, most rappers would never make a song criticizing binge drinking. Btw, it's not autotune, the voice just has an effect on it.
And I don't really get your criticism with simplicity. Since when is simple bad?
Album Rating: 3.5
I'd like to see you guys have an argument in french and try to sound coherent and intelligent.
Digging: 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin - Without Warning
Album Rating: 3.5"I'm part french so nya"
I speak french fluently so right back at ya champ. you still get what I'm saying
Album Rating: 3.5yeahyeah
Album Rating: 3.5try me
Album Rating: 3.5N'inquiètes pas, je te crois

Table of Contents
Before we get into family and religion, it is easier to study our education system as a social institution because we have always considered schools as an institution. In schools, we learn scientific knowledge, we develop skills, acquire values, have attitudes and sometimes schools help form our beliefs and habits.
Schools, in addition to the other social institutions we shall talk about later, help prepare us for two important tasks. To be part of a bigger society and to be productive and have a fruitful future.
In addition to our curriculum in school, we also learn how to govern our behavior and determine what is normal and what is not in terms of social interaction with our peers and teachers. We understand the hierarchy of our society.
Additionally, teachers usually realize individual differences among their students, thus start to have different expectations for each student. It is understandable to have different expectations but this should not affect how the teacher spends his or her time with students. This is because limiting their interaction with average students might limit their future full potential and can make them feel marginalized.
Additionally, schools and teaching systems differ from one neighborhood to another and as a result, what we learn from our school experience may be different. This can affect our potential as adults in integrating with our society professionally.
While it is easy to think of schools and our educational system as a social institution, it might be difficult for someone who is not a sociologist to think of family or religion as forms of institutions. In sociology, family is also considered as an institution because it can help us define our goals, our expectations, have a huge impact on our habits, beliefs and values, and finally can help us define what is normal and what is not.
A family can be defined as people who are related to an individual by blood, marriage, adoption or other kinds of relationships. These people teach us some values, affect our decisions and are part of our immediate support social group when we are under stress or need support, e.g. for grief over loss.
Additionally, families can be nuclear or extended. A nuclear family consists of our parents, siblings and offspring. An extended family consists of grandparents, aunts and uncles. The nuclear family tends to have a larger impact on our social norms compared to the extended family.
While families and education affect our goals, expectations and norms, it is important to note that genetics also play an essential role in defining behaviors(including criminal behavior) and the ability to socially interact.
Additionally, the environment is known to affect our genetics through epigenetics. It can affect our ability to express certain genes. A common example is studying families who had huge stress in their lives and then to study their second or third generation to see if they still show signs of anxiety or depression. Suprisingly, anxiety disorders were found to be significantly more common up to the 3rd generation in these families even though their parents themselves did not experience any major stressful events in their lives.
The main five goals of the family as a social institution are:
- to protect the offspring
- to reproduce
- to teach the children how to socially interact
- to show affection and love
- to teach the offspring their position in the society
Let us take reproduction as one of the important goals of the family as a social institution. Before the introduction of antibiotics, it was very common for children and adolescents to die before reaching adulthood due to infectious diseases.Therefore, families had to reproduce large numbers of offspring to ensure that their generation is going to survive and they will be able to be part of a productive society.
Families in this era tend to have a smaller number of children because their goals are different from those of earlier days. Nowadays, a larger family simply means more mouths to feed and your integration in the society would not be largely affected by the number of children because they are very unlikely to die at a young age because of infections.
Additionally, families nowadays can have a negative impact on their offspring because of issuess such as divorce and domestic violence. The lattter is more commonly reported now as compared to the past, and is known to affect our social skills.
Another difference between earlier families and the ones we have now, is that families are more diverse. Diversity in this case range from traditional parets to same sex parents.
Religion and organized religious rituals and practices can be tracked back to the first days humanity started to emerge on earth. Religion and our need as humans to belong to supreme entities affect our behavior, our norms and can define our morals.
Unfortunately, strict adherence to religion is known to lead to conflict and can make one group of people socially isolated. Due to that, secularization started to emerge where people wanted to weaken the influence of religion and the church on politics and on the society. Nowadays, people try to seek information and answers from scientific sources rather than miraculous thinking or religious explanations.
Governments are an essential part of the social institution. They are responsible for setting rules and enforcing them to define how every one of us can integrate in the society. They help us by regulating the society and preventing crime.
While the government can affect people and their interactions with each other, people can also influence the government by applying democracy. In a democratic setting, people can be part of the government and can affect the government's decisions, goals and expectations.
On the other hand, a society that is run under authoritarianism would not allow people to be part of the government. That society might be under military control because of an emergency or a disaster for instance.

When they first discovered they were expecting septuplets over 18 years ago, Bobbie and Kenny McCaughey put their faith in God's hands. After several rounds of fertility treatments, the happy couple were elated by the news, but medical staff encouraged them to terminate a few of the babies.
After the McCaugheys refused to do so, Bobbie was able to carry the babies to nearly 31 weeks and Brandon, Alexis, Joel, Kelsey, Kenny, Natalie and Nathan were born on Nov. 19, 1997, in Des Moines, Iowa. Their big sister Mikayla was absolutely elated!
Over the years, the McCaugheys have had their fare share of publicity. And from that publicity, much help has been sent their way in the form of college scholarships, a 5,500 square-foot-home, a van, a two-year supply of diapers and a year's supply of Kraft macaroni and cheese.
Until recently, the septuplets still lived in the same house gifted to them by Oprah Winfrey. But once Kelsey, Nathan, Natalie and Joel went off to college last year in Missouri, the household has shrunk in size. Brandon also left for basic training in the Army at Fort Benning, Georgia. Alexis and Nathan, who both have cerebral palsy, remain in their home with their parents and big sister Mikayla has since gotten married.
"The (years) have flown by," said Bobbi McCaughey to TODAY. "Just because there's been so many things that have happened. The memories, the joy, the heartaches that happened. It's what has guided us to where we are today, and it's very special."
Although time seems to have gone way too quickly, we're glad to hear they are all thriving and doing so well!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS SF) — The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a federal provision denying benefits to legally married same-sex couples.
The court on Wednesday invalidated the Defense of Marriage Act, which had prevented wed gay couples from receiving a range of tax, health and retirement benefits that are generally available to married people. The vote was 5-4.

Whether it is through Facebook, texting, online chatting, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, or one of the many other channels available, people are flocking to social media in increasing numbers. As a result, social media's reach has extended into the workplace, forcing employers to face a growin g list of concerns stemming from employees' use of these various outlets.
The Ethics & Workplace Survey compiled by Deloitte LLP in 2009 indicated that among the employees surveyed, 22 percent reported they regularly visited social networking sites five or more times per week, either at work or away from the office. An additional 23 percent said they visited such a site one to four times per week.
While the use of social media in the workplace is often a personal pursuit, it is frequently combined with professional purposes. This intermingling of the two worlds presents employers with new hazards, as well as opportunities as, ultimately, the degree of involvement in and control over an employee's use of social networking vehicles is up to the employer.
Social networking sites can provide businesses with new avenues to market themselves, brand their products and services, and develop customer relationships. It also can help to foster internal networking among employees, improve applicant screening, and monitor employee conduct that may reflect positively or negatively on the company. Employers who find ways to use social media outlets as tools, instead of treating them merely as threats, are better able to position themselves to reap the benefits of both existing structures and new developments in social networking.
To that end, many businesses have taken affirmative steps to engage themselves in the social media universe; for example, Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh meshes his personal and professional lives to advance his company's image and brand in his daily Twitter posts. He is not alone. According to one report, more than 1.5 million businesses have active Facebook pages that can be viewed by current and prospective clients.
Caveat Employer: Legal Risks Inherent in Social Media Use
The Internet, however, has long provided a ready and willing forum for disgruntled individuals to voice complaints and launch verbal attacks with immediacy. The ease with which a person can take action within a social networking environment – coupled with the sense of community found within a person's network and the common misperception that the Internet is beyond the reach of traditional mores and existing rules – can often result in impulsive and ill-advised content that is posted with impunity and made available to the general public for immediate consumption.
This sort of behavior can yield a plethora of legal implications, including discrimination lawsuits, defamation claims, disclosure of the company's confidential information and trade secrets, and damage to the company's reputation. Moreover, courts are increasingly finding that content on social media sites is discoverable in litigation, which imposes additional burdens and costs on employers, especially those who do not already have mechanisms in place to address employee use of social media.
Employers attempting to regulate their employees' social media content face numerous hurdles: monitoring can be time-consuming, regulation of off-hours conduct is fraught with concerns related to personal privacy, and the availability of social media applications on mobile devices renders "site blocking" futile. Additionally, employers must recognize situations in which the employees' activity – while, perhaps distasteful – may constitute protected activity under the National Labor Relations Act, or whistleblower or retaliation statutes.
Managing Your Workforce: How A Social Media Policy Can Help
Employers and employees alike benefit from clear policies that delineate what conduct is acceptable, what conduct is prohibited and exactly what the latter means in terms of disciplinary consequences.
While some businesses may find it necessary to prohibit employees' use of social media outlets altogether, companies that can derive benefits from appropriate use should consider adopting policies that accommodate their employees' use of social networking accounts, while still discouraging inappropriate use that may harm the company. For example, an employer may find a clear prohibition on harassing, defamatory, or illicit content coupled with different access policies for on-the-job social media use versus off-the-job use creates a more flexible and positive environment for its employees.
For companies that operate in industries that necessitate social media use by employees, a more open policy – with restrictions imposed only on inappropriate content – would be favored in order to further the company's goals. In concert with promulgating a policy, employers are well advised to train their employees in not only the terms of the policy, but also the rationales and company goals underlying the policy.
Regardless of how restrictive an employer wishes to be regarding employees' use of social networking, a clear, understandable, written policy is fast becoming a business necessity. By crafting a company-specific policy and educating your workforce regarding its purposes and practical implications, your company can capitalize on the advantages offered by social media while avoiding its pitfalls.

VIENNA: Vienna police said on Saturday a "friendly" intelligence service had warned European capitals of the possibility of a shooting or bomb attack before New Year, prompting police across the continent to increase security measures.
"Several possible names of potential attackers were mentioned, which were checked, and the investigation based on (these checks) has so far yielded no concrete results," Vienna police said in a statement, some six weeks after 130 people were killed in Islamist bombing and shooting attacks in Paris.

It's 2015 – Do You Know Where Your Data Is?
The "Internet of Things" will take further hold and become more fully embedded as a reality in our society. However, a tipping point is likely to be reached in 2015 as public awareness of the potential for these technologies to violate personal privacy increases. This will lead to an associated public outcry for stricter controls and government legislation regarding how people, organizations and government collect and use this information. The public will no longer be satisfied to leave technology companies and users to self-police their uses of their personal data.
Surveillance and other technologies that permit the collection of data about people will continue to proliferate. Analytical tools are emerging to interpret this information, and to merge and use it in an increasingly integrated fashion to permit continuous monitoring of locational and other information about specific people and groups. Drones that are freely available in the open marketplace can be programmed to follow people and objects using GSM and other technologies as tracking beacons. Miniature homing devices that will facilitate tracking of locational information of objects and people are also freely available. Phone companies routinely collect data from everyone making cell calls on their networks. Because many phones have chips that stay on even after a battery has been removed, tracking powered-down phones is within the realm of possibility.
Massive amounts of geospatial information are now being collected from a myriad of Internet-enabled devices and stored in "big data" repositories. At the same time, the techniques for mining this information are constantly being refined and improved. Researchers have found ways to capture this data for use in determining people's locations and estimating their movements. While this can be useful in the case of natural disasters, we've now seen how companies like Uber can also use the information that they gather from their client's phones in a way that negatively impacts their privacy.
We have only seen the beginning of many revelations that will continue to emerge as more geospatial information about individuals becomes readily available without associated controls and legislation to guard against misuse. Government agencies and private companies have the ability to regularly track people without warrants or court orders. In a world where it is increasingly obvious that information can be used for either good or evil, and is being used in both ways, it is highly unlikely that the status quo will prevail for much longer without associated controls.

THOMPSON-OKANAGAN – With as much as eight centimetres having already fallen at the Coquihalla Summit in the past 24 hours, another five to 10 cm expected across the region today and still yet a chance of more snow on Saturday and Sunday those travelling for holiday events and family gatherings this weekend should give themselves a little more time to get there.
Snow has already been falling since early this morning from Kamloops down through Kelowna and warnings of between 10-20 cm of snow heading into the Greater Vancouver Area and into 100 Mile and through Central B.C. could make travelling out of town a bit more treacherous this weekend.
In addition to the snow today temperatures will only reach the -3 to -5 Celsius range, a few degrees below normal, but is expected to settle back in to normal trends by Sunday and by Christmas day should be just above normal.
The next week is also calling for cloud every day and a 30 to 60 per cent chance of snow is being called for Saturday through Monday for Vernon through Penticton while Kamloops is only expecting a 30 per cent chance of snow on Saturday.

For Physicians
The Only Cancer-Specific, Non-PSA Blood Test That May Aid in the Assessment of Risk for the Presence of Prostate Cancer
APIFINY® technology is based on the measurement of eight prostate-cancer-specific autoantibodies in human serum. These autoantibodies are produced and replicated (amplified) by the immune system in response to the presence of prostate-cancer cells. The autoantibodies are stable and, because of their amplification, are likely to be abundant and easy to detect, especially during the early stages of cancer. The use of APIFINY results may supplement other information about prostate-cancer risks, and may therefore aid in earlier diagnosis of prostate cancer and potentially increase survival rates.
Key Benefits
Given the complexity of cancer-risk assessment, obtaining additional biological information may provide insight to better inform an important clinical decision such as an initial or repeat biopsy.
- APIFINY may be used in men who have an elevated PSA and are considering a prostate biopsy.
- APIFINY measures specific biological markers known to be associated with an immune system response to prostate cancer, which may provide you with additional insight to support a clinical decision.
- Combined with existing patient information and your clinical experience, APIFINY may aid in the assessment of prostate-cancer risk.
Limitations of the PSA test for the early detection of prostate cancer have spurred research into other biological markers to support improved risk assessment. The discovery that patients with cancer produce detectable autoantibodies against antigens in their tumors suggests that these biomarkers could have diagnostic and prognostic value.1
APIFINY is one such prostate-cancer-specific blood test that does not rely on PSA values. The technology measures the body's immune-system response to cancer, which may help your practice better assess risk for the presence of prostate cancer.
