U of T student co-author of first study documenting pervasive school-based sexual violence in Ghana
The extent of school-based sexual violence in Ghana has been documented for the first time in a report co-authored by U of T political science PhD student Erin Aylward.
The national study shows that:
- 56 per cent of female survey respondents and 37 per cent of male respondents had experienced sexual violence, with most of these incidents (92 per cent and 91 per cent, respectively) occurring during the respondent's school career;
- 57 per cent of all cases took place during primary or junior high school;
- one in 11 girls and one in 30 boys experienced sexual violence at the hands of a teacher or principal.
"This is a massive issue that needs to be taken seriously," said Aylward, who was awarded a Trudeau Scholarship in 2015 that supports both her schooling and additional research during her PhD studies.
"Incredibly, for people working in the field, the numbers didn't seem that shocking. There is a pretty clear need for leadership and for better accountability mechanisms."
After completing her master's degree, Aylward worked as a gender advisor for Engineers Without Borders in Ghana, where she first learned about the issue of school-based sexual violence in Ghana and "that girls might even be expected to have sexual relations with relatives or family friends in exchange for school fees."
"Anecdotally, it seemed the abuse was pervasive, but it was still a topic that wasn't on most people's radar," Aylward said. She went on to learn more about the issue of sexual violence in the schools during a U of T course on the sociology of sexuality in the Faculty of Arts & Science with Professor Hae Yeon Choo.
Aylward soon teamed up with Voto Mobile, a Ghana-based social enterprise, and the Gender Studies and Human Rights Documentation Centre, a leading Ghana women's rights non-governmental organization. They put together a proposal for Cellphones Against Sexual Violence, a two-year pilot project that included a national survey delivered through mobile technology, a sexual violence hotline and a school-based program. Amplify Change, a fund devoted to sexual and reproductive health, stepped forward to provide the finances.
Aylward's hope is that the Ghana government will take notice and the study will help lead to change.
She has reason to feel encouraged: the survey results have already garnered interest from NGOs in Ghana, as well as from the Australian embassy and the Canadian High Commission in Ghana.

Bought a rival's Dominique Wilkins collection... some questions!

Bought a rival's Dominique Wilkins collection... some questions!
So someone that I have competed with for Dominique stuff with for years said he had to move to Europe and he was willing to unload his collection on me. We agreed on a price and it cost me nearly $100 to have everything shipped! Well worth it though as I got a LOT of awesome stuff.
I'll share the new cards I got first as I still have to go through all the memorabilia. I have some questions about some of these and if anyone has answers that would be great!
First some jersey #d upgrades:
02-03 Upper Deck Finite #186 First Class (21/25)
04-05 Hoops 100 #175 (021/100)
Next, some completely new stuff!
92-93 Upper Deck Blow-Up #148 (8.50" x 11.00") (0235/2500)
Any info on this one? It's 7" x 10"
A sticker of some sort? Looks like some other Spanish Gigantes stickers I have. The back is blank.
Any information on these? They look like after-market stuff that probably doesn't have much value, but maybe still kind of neat?
Next some oddball and misprint stuff:
88-89 Fleer Stickers #11 - Misprint (Wilkins on front, Mark Aguirre upside-down on back)
90-91 Fleer #6 - Misprint (Black back)
90-91 Hoops #36 - Misprint (Wilkins on front, Chucky Brown upside-down on back)
90-91 SkyBox ... magazine cutout? It's slightly undersized and has the thickness and bendiness of the back or front of a magazine cover.
92-93 Topps #35 - Miscut
92-93 Topps #125 All-Star - Miscut
92-93 Topps #125 All-Star - Black & White Print
93-94 Upper Deck Holojams #H1 Magnet ... legit release or after market creativity?
... and finally, the key card that REALLY made want me to purchase!
00-01 Upper Deck Century Legends Commemorative Collection Gold #52 History of the Dunk (1/1)
This card is the #52 subset. I used to have the #47 base 1/1 parallel as well back in the day, but I couldn't turn down an offer of $900 as I was short on cash when someone made the offer to me. These two cards are Dominique's FIRST 1/1 cards!
I hope I can get the other card back someday, but I still have these proofs, so I guess those will just have to do for now:
Thanks for looking and if you have some info on some of that stuff It'd be much appreciated!!!

A lot... haha
The vast majority of the cards I received from the collection were all duplicates, but the guy wanted to move the whole collection at once so I went for it.

RE: Bought a rival's collection... some questions!
Looks like the Gigantes sticker without a number...I'll have to check my sticker albums on it.
The stamped 1/1's of Special Olympics, etc...were promotions given out at certain events and/or card shows. So aftermarket stamping on them. I've collected a couple like that in the past as well. It was between when the shows issued "broder" cards to when UD actually started doing a "show-specific" give-a-way that was actually licensed product. Magnets-holograms were a legit product, as I remember seeing them in the store way back when...haven't ever seen any since!
Collect Michael Jordan, Stockton/Malone/Hornacek/Eaton, Kresimir Cosic, Int'l oddballs

RE: Bought a rival's Dominique Wilkins collection... some questions!
the 1/1's are aftermarket creations. essentially, someone bought commons, stamped them themselves, called them 1/1

Golden Bear appears a two-horse race
The first Golden Gate Fields stakes race of 2009 may turn into a match race on Thursday.
Although five runners have entered the $75,000 Golden Bear Stakes for 3-year-olds at six furlongs, the race seems to be between the Southern California-based multiple stakes winner Backbackbackgone and Revoluta, who won his only start in impressive style. Even the trainers of a couple of the others admit they are not expecting to beat those two.
"I'd say we're running for third, but the purse is nice," said Lloyd Mason, trainer of Nina's Benchmark.
Bud Klokstad, trainer of Free Action, said: "He's a decent little horse, and I think he'll run a decent race, but he may be in too tough. I don't know if I should be running in a race like that. I didn't expect that horse to come up from Southern California."
Backbackbackgone won the Willard Proctor at Hollywood Park in the spring and the Jack Goodman at Santa Anita in October. In his last start he finished fifth after dueling for the lead in the Grade 3 Hollywood Prevue in November.
Trainer Peter Miller will run Backbackbackgone in blinkers for the first time on Thursday.
"He's been training great with them," said Miller. "We're putting blinkers on, but we're not trying to get him to show more speed. We're just trying to keep him a little more focused when switching leads. He's run really good with them and runs straight down the stretch."
Although Backbackbackgone is very fast, Miller says he expects Revoluta to be on the lead. Revoluta broke sharply and had an open lead by the quarter pole in his debut under speed master Roberto Gonzalez, who takes the call again Thursday.
Revoluta's trainer, Jerry Hollendorfer, is aware of Backbackbackgone's credentials but is quick to point out, "My horse is undefeated."
Revoluta earned an 85 Beyer in his debut, which he won by 4 1/4 lengths. It was the same number Backbackbackgone earned in his 10-length debut win last May at Bay Meadows and 1 point under Backbackbackgone's best Beyer, an 86 for winning the Jack Goodman.
Also bolstering the case for Revoluta is that Hornung, third beaten 7 3/4 lengths by Revoluta, came back to win his next start by eight lengths.
Hollendorfer said Revoluta will need improvement to win Thursday.
"He wasn't tested," Hollendorfer said, "but Gonzo didn't let him run a whole lot."
The fifth runner in the field is Capital Cat, a maiden, who has made eight starts and lost by 11 1/4 lengths to Revoluta.

The rPath Appliance Agent (rAA) is an extensible application framework for the administration of appliance devices through a Web-based user interface. The framework is comprised of individual component plugins which offer specialized functionality, such as a message log interface, user account preferences, system updates, and entitlement management capabilities. You can also develop and add plugins to the rAA framework, extending capabilities and functionality for your specific requirements.
Simple Package Manager (SPM) is intended to operate in a way similar to existing package managers (apt, dpkg, Pacman, etc.). Instead of supporting a centralized package repository, SPM allows remote packages to be downloaded and installed automatically, given their URL. This allows a developer to package and distribute software via a package management system without having to worry about the many different formats and Linux distribution repositories.
Sysinit is a system-initialization scheme for use with Linux and a daemon-management scheme for use with runit or daemontools. It provides a common interface to all functionality, and uses envdirs instead of sourced shell scripts or custom configuration files. It does error handling, handles dependencies gracefully and simply, and handles runlevels.
UPMS (Universal Package Managment System) is based on the BSD ports system, and can be used on any FHS 2.0 Linux-compatible distribution. UPMS has two level of dependencies checking: required and suggested. It also has an option to optimize everything that you build and install with it for your architecture.
deb-install is a command line tool that can install or show information about packages and files in several different formats.

The town's Human Relations Department is going through a major renovation, and two factions in town government have differing visions for how the department, and the accompanying commission, should be changed.
The town's Human Relations Department is going through a major renovation, and two factions in town government have differing visions for how the department, and the accompanying commission, should be changed.
The two plans have been filed as warrant articles, numbered 9 and 10, and each was presented to the Brookline Board of Selectmen on Tuesday, April 9.
The first proposal isn't a new one to the selectmen. It is proposed by Town Administrator Mel Kleckner, and has the backing of Health and Human Services Department Director Alan Balsam. The article was created in response to the retirement of Stephen Bressler as the director of the Human Relations Department. Bressler was the director of the department for 35 years, and he is currently the only member of the department today. His last day is April 30.
Kleckner saw Bressler's retirement as a way to redistribute the duties of the department to the Health Department and eliminate the Human Relations Department.
More specifically, Kleckner proposed transitioning some of Bressler's old responsibilities to the town's human services coordinator, Lloyd Gellineau, and change Gellineau's title to "human relations and human services administrator". An additional position would be created to help Gellineau in managing the responsibilities. The restructure would save the town $42,000, according to Kleckner.
The proposal would not change the Human Relations/Youth Resources Commission, however.
A call for more affirmative action
The other warrant article, which has six petitioners, including three members of the HRYR Commission, seeks to keep the Human Relations Department alive, but change the title to Human Rights Department, and give the commission the same name.
The idea behind the switch is to avoid confusion, since the town also has a Human Resources Board and a human resources director.
Further, Article 10 seeks to "reaffirm" the town's commitment to affirmative action by giving the responsibility for developing and overseeing the implementation of equal opportunity and affirmative action policies to the commission and the director.
Kleckner's plan, conversely, would make Gellineau the affirmative action officer in town.
The Brookline Human Relations Department was created in 1970 in response to urban rioting and the disenfranchisement of African Americans. The HRYR Commission was also created as part of the department at that time, and was given the responsibility of crafting affirmative action guidelines.
However, the overseeing of the guidelines was moved to the Human Resources Department as early as the 1990s, according to a document from Patty Correa, associate town counsel.
Brooks Ames, one of the petitioners of Article 10 and a member of the HRYR Commission, said the commission should have more responsibility in implementing an affirmative action plan. Further, he believes the plan should be more aggressive in addressing issues of under-representation of minorities in the town.
Currently, there are no department heads in Brookline who are minorities, and there have only been two minority heads in the history of the town, said Ames.
"The goal of the warrant article is really to push forward a new policy on equal opportunity and affirmative action," said Ames, in an interview on Friday, March 29.
The model he proposed was taken from the executive order from Gov. Deval Patrick in 2007.
"So now it's been five years or so since 2007 that that's been in place, and all the executive agencies of the commonwealth have their own affirmative action plans and are following those polices, and [Article 10] basically says that it would be a good idea for Brookline to take this approach to workforce diversity," said Ames, a lawyer specializing in civil litigation.
'Set up to fail'?
Ames and the petitioners are not sold on Kleckner's proposal to shift Bressler's duties to Gellineau, either. On the surface, the move seems to encourage diversity, since Gellineau, a black man, would be promoted under the proposal.
Nonetheless, Ames and others feel his responsibilities are still nebulous under the proposal, and Ames is concerned Gellineau will have to take on more work while still keeping some of his current responsibilities.
"I think that that role is really important, and because it's not quite defined yet, it's sort of hard to know what Dr. Gellineau's tasks will be," he said. "I think that it's good to be inclusive, but we should know what the responsibilities of the job are and hire someone who's going to be 100 percent devoted to fulfilling those duties."
Larry Onie, one of the six petitioners of Article 10, a member of the HRYR Commission and candidate for School Committee this year, went as far as to say Gellineau was being "set up to fail," at a previous meeting of the HRYR.
Mariela Ames, another petitioner of Article 10, a member of the HRYR Commission, and wife of Brooks Ames, recently accused the Board of Selectmen of validating the problem of what she deemed to be inequity in hiring in the town.
Mariela Ames said the board interviewed a white applicant, Brian Hochleutner, for the HRYR Commission in January of this year, and approved him for the commission a week later. In comparison, a Hispanic applicant, Cruz Sanabria, was interviewed on March 12 and has yet to hear back.
"We are thought of and treated differently than our white counterparts, regardless of our qualifications," said Mariela Ames, a Hispanic woman and court interpreter. "Here we are, sadly, having to spell out the fact that a highly qualified minority applicant is being put on hold to a commission tasked specifically to deal with race relations and discrimination."
At the selectmen meeting on April 9, Chairwoman Betsy DeWitt said that the decision to appoint commissioners was put on hold because of the possible reorganization of the department.
Another committee
The selectmen have set up a committee to study the issue, and the title is a mouthful: the Selectmen's Committee on Diversity, Equal Employment Opportunities and Affirmative Action.
They have yet to select members for the committee.
To make matters even more complicated, both the Human Resources Board and the HRYR Commission have either crafted, or are in the process of crafting, affirmative action guidelines. The one being discussed in the HRYR Commission is being pushed by Ames and calls for much more aggressive hiring practices, such as the "Rooney Rule," which was implemented in the National Football League, and required all teams to interview at least one minority candidate when looking for a new head coach.
He'd like every hire in Brookline to be subject to the rule.
Nonetheless, Ames is not calling for the town to have quotas.
"The town of Brookline has never had an affirmative action plan that called for quotas or called for the preferential hiring on the basis of race, but there's a whole universe of things that can be done to implement affirmative action that don't cross those barriers, which are problematic, usually," he said.
Further, he'd like the HRYR Commission to look over job descriptions and offer advice to the Board of Selectmen on how those descriptions could be altered to result in a more diverse applicant pool.
The proposal from Human Resources doesn't require the Rooney Rule, and is focused more on taking steps to ensure equal opportunity in the hiring process and distribute job descriptions to a diverse population.
Kenneth Kurnos, chairman of the Human Resources Board, spoke out in opposition to Article 10, calling it "bad policy."
Specifically, he said the proposal focuses too heavily on race, and not on other designations that fall under the diversity umbrella, such as sexual orientation, gender, religion and age.
"It's a bad idea because it's to the exclusion of so many other groups," he said.
Selectmen Kenneth Goldstein said all proponents have the same goal in mind: to increase diversity. He called for more time to discuss the issues and come up with a plan, including tightening up some of the language in the Article 10 proposal.
"I think there's a lot in Article 10 that I want to see part of our law in the future, but I think there are some problems with the scope of it right now," Goldstein said. "I think there are some problems with the language of it and I think there are some detailed conversations that need to take place."

Tincomarus (until recently ,misidentified as Tincommios) ruled the Regni for about 30-35 years from his capital at Chichester. His coinage draws heavily upon the political imagery of Augustus, which has been seen as evidence (Creighton 2000) that he was perhaps held as a hostage at the court of the Roman emperor, where much like his contemporaries the sons of Herod the Great, he would have been schooled in Roman ways which in turn influenced his coin designs.Estimate: US$ 500

We will make sure it is easy to let us know about any service problem by:
- Ensuring our service users can make complaints /give feedback in a variety of ways including on the telephone, in person, by email, in writing and via our website;
- Making complaints information available in alternative languages and formats upon request.
To download a copy of this Complaints Policy click here. To make a complaint write to us at 7-14 Great Dover Street, London, SE1 4YR, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 03333 21 30 30.
What is a complaint
We encourage our staff to be open to complaints. Our definition of 'a complaint' is 'Any formal expression of dissatisfaction with a policy, procedure or our performance of a service or contractual duty.' However, we are always keen to hear if customers or other service users are unhappy for any reason
Our objectives are simple:
- To make it easy for customers or their representatives to complain if they are unhappy with the service that they receive
- To ensure complaints are dealt with in a courteous and efficient way and are resolved without avoidable delay
- To maintain records of complaints received for internal monitoring and learning
What is not covered by this Policy?
CDS will not address the following under this complaints policy:
- First notifications of problems or issues which are requests for service (eg. A repair notification or request for help with a noise problem)
- Issues that the complainant knew about more than three months before they complained and did not alert us to,
- Issues that have been responded to as a complaint and where no further complaint is made within one calendar month of response
- Any issue which is subject to another resolution process (for example, by legal action or by a tribunal).
- Complaints relating to the policies and procedures or actions of an independent client co-operative. We do not have any authority in these matters but we will make sure that complaints are to the Client Co-op for their action and will let you know who the issue has been referred to
- Complaints relating to Government Policy
Client Co-operatives – 'Business to Business'
If a client co-operative is unhappy with the quality of service provided by CDS under the terms of the management (or other written) agreement, the Chair or Secretary should address their concerns directly with the Client Relationship Manager (CRM)
The CRM will investigate and seek to resolve any service issue and will provide a full written response within 20 working days. If the Client Co-operative remains unhappy with the response, they should then address their concerns through the disputes process set out in the management agreement.
Receiving a complaint
We want to know if customers or other service users are unhappy and we positively encourage staff to "hear" and capture complaints whether or not a formal complaint is made. Staff will actively log dissatisfaction as a complaint so that it can be formally responded to in a timely way.
We aim to resolve all informal complaints fairly, consistently and promptly at the first point of contact and within one working day. Where it is not possible to achieve this aim for any given reason we will then treat it as a formal complaint and it will be passed to the relevant service manager to respond.

|Service Centre Officer
|Full response provided
|10 working days
|Director / Board Member
Throughout each stage of the informal / formal complaints process staff will speak to the complainant within one working day to:
- Ascertain why they are unhappy?
- Find out what outcome they are looking for
During the investigation of the issues raised, staff will be honest and open about what we can/cannot do to meet the expectations of the person who has complained. They will provide a full written response to formal complaints within 10 working days and this will set out specifically:
- Whether the complaint has been upheld fully, partially or not upheld
- What action will be taken
- When this will be done
- The name of a lead officer to fulfil this promise (where action is proposed)
If for any reason a full response cannot be provided within this timeframe the service manager will write to the complainant to advise them when they can expect the full response to the issues that have been raised.
Designated Person / Housing Ombudsman Service
If at the end of the internal complaints process the customer remains dissatisfied they can:
- Refer their complaint to a 'Designated Person' as laid down in the Localism Act 2011 to assist in the resolution of the complaint at a local level, or
- give authority to the 'designated person' to refer their complaint to the Housing Ombudsman Service immediately; or
- Wait 8 weeks following completion of CDS's internal complaints process and refer their case themselves to the Housing Ombudsman Service.
For more information about 'Designated Persons' please visit the following websites: www.cds.coop or http://www.housing-ombudsman.org.uk/ Email : email@example.com or call the Housing Ombudsman Service on 0300 111 3000.
Antisocial behaviour
You should not use the complaints procedure to complain about antisocial behaviour by other residents unless you have already reported the problem to CDS and you feel that we have failed to take appropriate action to tackle it.
Repairs and maintenance
If your complaint is about a repair or about the condition of your home, please make sure that you have reported the problem to our Customer Service Centre or the maintenance inspector and allowed us a reasonable period to inspect your home or complete the repair before you make a formal complaint.
Complaints about co-op management committees and services provided by independent co-operatives
We regret that we can only consider complaints about services provided by CDS Co-operatives.We cannot look into complaints about services provided by independent co-operatives or about the actions or decisions of their management committees.Every co-operative should have its own complaints procedure and should deal with complaints fairly and impartially.
Learning from complaints
We believe that complaints can help us to continually improve our services. We will aim to capture the lessons that we learn and identify the improvements that we make as a result of this feedback.
We will contact our customers after their complaint is resolved or closed to find out how helpful and effective they thought we were. We will carry out regular complaints reviews and publish an annual report to share information about complaints causes, outcomes and learning.

Amanda Quintanilla, RYT
I first came to yoga as an injury rehabilitation and flexibility maintenance program. After 18 years of gymnastics I had abused my body in the name of competition. Within minutes of my first yoga class starting I knew I had found something that had been missing in my life. I spent the next 6 years practicing several times a week and seeing my body in a new light and more depth.
When my husband joined the Marine Corps and we moved to California I had the opportunity to pursue my passion for yoga and embark on my teaching journey. I started it as a way to strengthen my own practice but quickly found my desire to help others reawaken a love for their bodies drove me toward an unexpected career path.
Being an adventure seeker I found myself delving into every avenue of yoga I could find. You will frequently find me on the paddleboard, in an aerial class, or practicing AcroYoga with my husband. I have been so fortunate to find a welcoming and passionate community at 3Tree Yoga and am truly enjoying being a part of the growth as this young studio blossoms.

wigan away tomorrow
It was really a pity that there was a break in the Premier League now that Blackburn Rovers had begun to find our match fitness. We had played several good games in a row and was just unlucky that we didn't take more points than we did. So this break was bad timing for us. But we are a good team with many good players, so this should not affect us in any negative way. We have worked hard and determined to reverse the bad results, even on my off days I have been on the training ground to put in axtra work so that we will be well prepared for the upcoming period. So even if the break came at an unfortunate time so this should not affect us much.
Wigan away tomorrow is going to be a though game, but we have our heart and soul in the right place, and together with our excellent away supporters, I am sure we are going to take three points. And if we continue with good the good performances we've played in recent games, we have a good chance to take points in each of the next six games, and we could easily win three or four of them.
Have a nice weekend everyone
Morten Gamst Pedersen

Morten i'm dissapointed by your actions to cheat never would i have imagined Rovers and yourself to stoop so low, I have always been an admirer of your talent but today was appauling and Wigan should rightly feel wronged. The performance was lacklustre at best and Wigan deserved the 3 pts today, oh well another week for Kean how long must we endure this pathetic excuse of a manager and his repetitive spouting to the press on his endless what if's. I have a what if, what if venky's didnt takeover sam allardyce would be in charge and we would be safey mid table there's my what if kean. KEAN OUT!!!!

Why did only Robbo come to the fans at the end of the game Morten? You looked like you were going to but didn't. Never before have I seen just one player come to the fans after a game. Is it becasue we were chanting Kean and Venkys out? If so that is a disgrace and you should all hang your heads in shame that you couldn't acknowledge the fans. I know several of the players are Kean apologists but once a rift develops bewteen the players and fans there is no way back. I'd love to hear your explanation for this Morten, will you please tell me? You have my email address.
By the way i though you had a decent game today and worked really hard, particularly after Dunn got himself stupidly sent off.

good game from you today peds, but for me this was a make-it or break-it game because wigan is not a good team. if we can't even beat/perform well against wigan athletic then something needs to change. dunn getting himself sent off in such an important match and against such a poor team is terrible/pathetic. i really hope something does change before it is too late and blackburn are relegated. i know that all you can control is your play on the pitch morten and you've done exceptionally well these last few games. central midfield is your new home in my opinion. i truly do hope that both kean and venky's are gone from the club by season's end, if not venky's then at least steve kean. here's to hoping we pick up some wins over the next few games.

Tell David Dunn to retire, he's been finished as a premier league player for about 2 years. Tell Steve Kean he isn't welcome at the club, and for that matter neither are Venky's. I wonder, MGP, will you still be here next year when we're trying to get out of the championship?

Don't think people should write complaints on this page and accuse Morten of being a cheater, even if Yakubu didn't touch the ball and it could be looked at as 'cheating', there have been many a time that Rovers have been playing against clubs that constantly cheat and get away with it in broad daylight and for once a decision went our way and we should be thankful for that. If people want to complain they should go somewhere else and do it rather than at our longest serving player at the club who is nice enough to take the time out of his busy day to write a blog for his fans.

Hi Morten. yet again you ran further than anybody else and the corner was clever. we all need to stick together at this time injuries again robbed us but some players do seem to lack full match fitness. I am proud the team battled to the end, the corner will be turned. Please though try and get all to acknowledge the fans we are important and was sad only robbo bothered. take care and thanks for your efforts if that free kick had gone in would have been a different game dave and ellis

Have Rovers not had players dive and con the ref against us before Jamie? There's no room to be a saint in football, you do what you have to to win and Morten's quick thinking saved a point today. If thats the point that keeps us up will you still be complaining about it? Every other team does what they can to gain an advantage and so should we. I can't believe as a Rovers fan you're actually complaining about it!
Well played today Morten, unlucky with a terrific free-kick and another assist. You've improved the midfield greatly since coming back and its great to see you still have the passion and commitment.

Have none of you cheating apologists ever heard the phrase: "Two wrongs don't make a right"? Others players dive and cheat so it's fine for us to? Personally I think Wigan thoroughly deserved their win as we were pathetic again and had far too many players just going through the motions. This was supposed to be a 'must-win' game for us and we never looked like winning it. Bad times. Venkys buggering off at half-time sums it all up for me. Their 'baby' is badly neglected we need some social services in to help!

Surprised to read people coming on Mortens site to make general complaints about Kean and Venkys. What is he supposed to do about it? This is Morten's blog page not Blackburn Rovers site or fans chat board. Also people complaining the players didnt come over to the fans. Wish that is all we had to worry about. So trivial compared to the mess we are in. How is Morten expected to comment on any of this?

Morten you tried hard and did well. We were very impressed with your concern for the fan who got hit by a practise shot. We love the Rovers but Kean has to go. Dunny had already got a yellow by half time and really Kean should have subbed him then as he wasn't playing well.

Why is Morten getting the blame for all the team except Robinson not coming over? Kean clearly gestured for the side to come off, probably because he was upset about the chants against him throughout the match. If someone has to be criticised for it then it should be Kean, but of course he doesn't have a website that makes an effort to engage with fans. Pedersen does and all he seems to get is stick for it from half the posters.

By Magreth Nunuhe
WINDHOEK – Governments in the southern African region expect increased total revenue and reduced budget deficit this year, as predicted in their annual national budgets.
They also expect their economies to flourish this year driven by recovery in primary industries such as mining, manufacturing and the agricultural sector to grow due to the good rains received in most parts of the region over the past few months.
The Namibian government, which was the latest to present its national budget for 2017-18 on 8 March 2017, said it expected to do well this year with the large sectors projected to pick up momentum, while tourism could be the driver of the economy.
The good rains received this year could also bolster agricultural sector performance, which had contracted over the past two years.
Finance Minister, Calle Schlettwein, who presented the 2017/18 national budget in Parliament last week said he was confident that Namibia would see positive economic growth this year. This view was supported by many economists and financial institutions, who believe the country could move out of the precarious situation it is in and recover as long as macroeconomic policies, such as "maintaining a consistent fiscal consolidation policy to reduce the budget deficit, stabilise growth in public debt and rebuild fiscal space" are upheld.
Namibian tax payers were relieved this year that the general tax rate would not be increased and no new taxes would be introduced.
Another welcome relief is that the Public Procurement Reform Act, to be enforced on 1 April 2017, would change the Tender Board operations and processes in order to promote greater transparency and accountability. This, together with the landmark Public Private Partnership legislation, is expected to harness private sector funding.
Some of the other key priority areas for the Namibian budget and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) are the strengthening of the macroeconomic fundamentals and rebuilding of fiscal buffers, supporting inclusive growth and economic diversification, contributing to the eradication of poverty, improvement of social welfare and reducing income inequality.
A quick look into some of the national budgets in the Southern African region and their predictions, reveals the following:
Economic performance
The fiscal and economic future of Angola will be highly dependent on the evolution of oil prices. If the recent rise in oil prices is sustained and translates into average oil prices above US$60 in 2017, the stability of the exchange rate is more likely, says Banco BPI Economic and Financial Research.
For the past three years, there has been a decline in economic activity of more than 60 percent – a phenomenon that persisted in 2016.
In South Africa, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to grow from 0.5 percent last year to 1.3 percent this year. Mining continued to underperform while manufacturing output was supported by buoyant sales in petrochemicals, food and beverages and motor vehicles in 2016.
The same trend also persisted in Namibia. But to avoid credit rating jeopardy, Namibia, which still faces liquidity stress and subdued economic growth, forced Treasury to cut the 2015-16 budget to maintain debt servicing costs, the current account and other macroeconomic balances.
Swaziland's economy is expected to contract, recording a growth of minus 0.6 percent in 2016 from 1.9 percent in 2015.
This forecast considers the adverse drought conditions that the country, and the region at large, faced, which heavily affected crop production. Maize production fell by as much as 60 percent. Average inflation in 2016 reached 7.8 percent largely due to the steep rise in food prices.
Growth is projected at 1.7 percent, from 0.6 percent estimated in 2016 in Zimbabwe. In 2017, agriculture is projected to grow by 12 percent driven by higher output from major crops such as maize, cotton and tobacco, as well as milk production. Budget projects a modest mining growth of 0.9 percent in 2017.
Total revenue
Angola predicts oil revenues to increase by 10.2 percent for the first time in years, while there are also projections of a 22.4 percent increase in purchase of goods and services and higher public spending to be boosted by general elections taking place this year.
The revised budget projections for Botswana for the 2016/2017 financial year shows an increase in revenue by 15.6 percent, from P48.4 billion (R60.74 billion) in the original budget to P55.93 billion (R70.19 billion) – mainly due to an increase in mineral revenue. P28 billion (R35.16 billion) in additional tax revenue will be raised in 2017/18.
On the other hand, South Africa needs to reduce spending by R26 billion over the next two years to improve its fiscal position. Total tax revenue for 2016/17 will be R1.144 trillion.
Swaziland collected R14.1 billion in total revenue in 2015/16, of which 49 percent was SACU revenue. Their forecast for 2017/18 is R16.5 billion, indicating a 22 percent increase from the 2016/17 collection.
Zimbabwe's total revenue is projected at US$3.7 billion; capital inflows are expected to reach US$692.4 million in 2016, against US$1.2 billion recorded in 2015.
Budget deficit
In the next financial year (2017-18), Namibia plans to further slash its budget deficit to 3.6 percent of GDP, down from 6.3 percent in 2016.
For the most part of 2016, Namibia was in a slump when its budget deficit almost reached an all-time high of 9.1 percent of GDP and debt escalated to approximately 46 percent of GDP.
This was exacerbated by poor growth, descending from 5.7 percent in 2015 to 1.3 percent in 2016, as a result of a decrease in commodity prices and drought distressing large sections of the economy, including agriculture and construction.
Angola also expects a budget deficit of 5.9 percent of GDP, which could trigger further devaluation of the Kwanza despite the substantial international reserves it holds.
Oil output, which accounts for the major share of Angolan exports, is still relatively modest and lower revenues continue to impact on the performance of the non-oil economy.
Botswana expects to record a budget deficit of about 1.43 percent of GDP in the next financial year. It recorded a budget deficit of 4.7 percent of GDP in 2015-16 compared to a surplus of 3.7 percent of GDP in 2014-15.
A budget deficit of 3.1 percent of GDP for South Africa is expected for 2017-18, narrowing to 2.6 percent in 2019-20, while for Swaziland, the budget deficit is projected at 8.2 percent of GDP for 2017-18, down from 12.3 percent of GDP for 2016-17.
Total expenditure
Angola expects its capital spending to increase by 3.8 percent this year due to general elections scheduled for this year, while Botswana's projected total expenditure and net lending for 2016-17 is also predicted to increase by P2.59 billion (R3.25 billion), from the original budget of P54.44 billion (R68.34 billion) to P57.03 billion (R71.60 billion). This is due to supplementary funding to replenish the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (ACGS), and purchase of food for secondary school students under the recurrent budget, as well as provision of additional funding for water and energy projects under the development budget.
Swaziland's total expenditure for 2017-18 is estimated at R21.8 billion, which includes R1.4 billion reserved for public debt payments and other statutory spending. Total expenditure for Zimbabwe is projected at US$4.1 billion. The economy's relatively high import bill remains unsustainable at US$5.35 billion in 2016, against exports of US$3.365 billion.
Total budget
Angola's total budget for 2017-18 is 7.3 trillion kwanza (Kz) (US$44.22 billion). Botswana's proposed Ministerial Recurrent Budget for the 2017-18 financial year amounts to P39.66 billion (R49.79 billion), with the lion's share of the budget allocated to the Ministry of Basic Education at P6.8 billion (17.2 percent), Health and Wellness (P6.59 billion or 16.6 percent), Local Government and Rural Development (P5.62 billion or 14.2 percent), Defence, Justice and Security (P5 billion or 12.6 percent) and Tertiary Education Research, Science and Technology (P4.25 billion or 10.7 percent).
South Africa's Basic Education Ministry received the biggest piece of pie of R243 billion (17.5 percent), while health came in second with R187.5 billion, followed by defence, public order and safety at R198.7 billion.
Similarly, Namibia's education sector got the lion's share of the total expenditure budget at R11.98 billion, followed by the health sector (R6.51 billion) and defence (R5.68 billion).
The police received R5 billion, while the Ministry of Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare features prominently in the budget with R3.28 billion for the provision of safety nets and other anti-poverty intervention measures, such as the old-age pension, which increased to R1,200 per month.
Swaziland's total allocation for the Ministry of Education and Training is R3.5 billion, while health gets R2.2 billion.
Zimbabwe's health sector takes the biggest chunk of US$59.1 million for this financial, followed by education at US$43.3 million, social services US$28.8 million, agriculture US$320.8 million, energy US$5 million and institutional housing getting US$39.4 million.
SACU/customs and excise
It is anticipated that that there would be improvements in SACU receipts this year. For Namibia, in the medium-term, higher SACU receipts and earnings from increased exports from the mining sector are expected to improve the current account balance and improve the external position of Namibia.
Swaziland's current transfers' surplus for the six months ending June 2016 amounted to R3.1 billion benefiting largely from inflows of SACU receipts against a surplus of R8.9 billion in the full year 2015. A part of Government's strategy to reduce dependence on SACU receipts, Swaziland established Special Economic Zones to help stimulate growth, increase employment opportunities and reduce poverty.
SACU has five members – Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland.
Foreign exchange rate/foreign reserves
In Angola, the scarcity of foreign currency (which is partially caused by the maintenance of the exchange rate at artificially high levels) is posing challenges on the payment of imports.
The South Africa exchange rate has recovered from its rapid depreciation last year, which bodes well for capital flows, inflation and business and consumer confidence.
Swaziland's Gross Official Reserves declined by 9 percent over the 2016 calendar year to reach R7.7 billion, mainly attributed to a notable fall in SACU revenue while government expenditure accelerated during the 2016-17 fiscal year.
The Namibian Dollar has recovered well from its rapid depreciation last year, as the South African rand – to which it is pegged one-on-one – stabilised after losing about 30 percent value against the US Dollar.
Public debt
According to the IMF, Angola's current level of public debt, will end 2016 above 75 percent of the GDP, while South Africa's government debt is expected to stabilise at about 48 percent of GDP over the next three years. Government debt now stands at R2.2 trillion, or 50.7 percent of GDP.
Swaziland's total public debt has increased by R3.5 billion and currently stands at 18.9 percent of GDP, while Zimbabwe's public debt stood at US$11.2 billion or 79 percent of GDP, of which US$7.5 billion, 53 percent of GDP, is external debt.
Of the US$7.5 billion external debt, US$5.2 billion is in arrears, and this has resulted in deterioration of relations with major creditors, thereby inhibiting access to finance. Zimbabwe settled its overdue obligations to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) amounting to US$107.9 million on 20 October 2016. This has seen the IMF board remove sanctions on Zimbabwe.
Namibia's fiscal strategy for 2017-18 is aimed at stabilising public debt at around 42 percent of GDP in order to strengthen macroeconomic stability in this financial year, with the Mid-Year Review target to further slash its budget deficit 3.6 percent of GDP, down from 6.3 percent in 2016.
Surcharge tax on income of the wealthy
The Namibian government has proposed a new tax policy and tax administration reforms, such as increase on the fuel levy administered under the Customs and Excise Act and wealth based taxation to embody the principles of the Solidarity Wealth Tax be introduced. South Africa has also proposed a new top personal income tax rate of 45 percent for those with taxable incomes above R1.5 million.

By Martha M. Hamilton
Sunday, August 26, 2007
Ken Hausman and his partner, Deane Bergsrud, have been together for 27 years, and like many couples their age, they're thinking ahead to retirement. They both have 401(k) plans at work and individual retirement accounts, and Hausman has a pension.
Nonetheless, "we worry a great deal about the future," Hausman said.
One of their worries is whether the surviving partner will be adequately protected when the other dies -- because of their unmarried status.
Unmarried couples lack the automatic legal protections that kick in when one member of a married couple dies. And they lack other advantages in planning for financial security in retirement that are taken for granted by most couples.
But marriage is a solution that is unavailable to Hausman and Bergsrud. They live in Virginia, where marriage is prohibited for same-sex couples, as it is in most of the United States.
Together they make a decent income that has allowed them to save for retirement, and they have little debt. But they worry whether they have done everything they need to do to ensure that one won't be left with too few assets after the other dies. Compounding their worries is a Virginia law that prohibits civil unions or other marriage-like contracts between same-sex partners.
The law is being challenged, but as long as it's on the books Hausman says he worries that the wills and powers of attorney, and other measures they have taken to protect each other, could be ruled null and void.
"There's no substitute for being married when it comes down to it," he said.
In terms of their 401(k)s and IRAs, the two think they are in good shape. Each has named the other as the beneficiary of the savings accounts. But Hausman, associate editor of Psychiatric News, also has a traditional pension. Normally workers with traditional pensions can choose at retirement whether to take the full monthly payments or a reduced amount each month in order for those benefits to continue for a spouse's lifetime, should the pension beneficiary die first.
It's a benefit considered so important for the surviving spouse that he or she has to sign a waiver for the worker receiving the pension to qualify for the higher benefits. But pensioners in same-sex couples can't leave survivor benefits to their partners.
Legal experts from the gay and lesbian community say that is just one of many ways in which financial planning for retirement is complicated for same-sex couples. Other examples were given by Susan Sommer, senior counsel for Lambda Legal; Joan M. Burda, who wrote "Estate Planning for Same-Sex Couples"; and Michael Adams, executive director of Senior Action in a Gay Environment:
Members of married couples also receive a one-time death benefit of $255 after their spouses die.
Also, if one member of a married couple has never worked or has low earnings, that spouse can be entitled to as much as half of the full retirement benefit produced by the higher-earning spouse's record.
Another concern about wills is that they can be, and often are, challenged by hostile family members. "There's the lack of ease of the safety net that comes with automatic inheritance," Adams said. He also noted that "the vast majority of Americans don't have wills. The vast majority of gay and lesbian couples don't."
And so it goes. Same-sex couples also may need to save more for retirement because of other expenses. They often don't qualify for discounts routinely available to married couples, ranging from lower rates for a gym or a swimming pool association or for auto insurance, for instance. Hausman and Bergsrud have one car and pay for more expensive business auto insurance so they can have both names on the policy.
They should shop around, said Burda, who added that Liberty Mutual and some other companies don't discriminate against unmarried couples. And there are ways to work around many of the other problems that such couples confront, she and others said. But obtaining what comes routinely to married couples may involve lawyers and financial planners and more money out of pocket.
And less money for retirement.

Workers at Volkswagen's plant in Tennessee claim they are being coerced into joining the UAW, but it's not the union they're complaining about. Instead, four workers allege that VW officials are pressuring them to join the UAW in order to avoid jeopardizing the plant's chance of obtaining additional jobs and vehicle production, Reuters reports.The workers, along with the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, filed the complaint with the National Labor Relations Board and claim the automaker is violating "Chattanooga facility employees' rights to choose whether or not to engage in self-organization to form, join, or assist labor organizations."Some VW officials, however, are convinced UAW representation would be beneficial. Among them is VW's head of global works council Bernd Osterloh, who is in favor of forming a "works council" in Chattanooga, which would allow both employees and management to discuss pay and benefits. However, forming such a board or group within a company is illegal in the U.S. without representation from a U.S. trade union like the UAW.And according to Reuters, Osterloh also serves as a deputy VW chairman and can influence production decisions. "It would be good if the Chattanooga factory already had a works council, because what's also at stake at the moment is another model for our U.S. factory," Osterloh said in a statement last week.The vehicle he speaks of is VW's upcoming seven-passenger crossover that could roll out of the automaker's plant in Mexico or Chattanooga, which currently produces the Volkswagen Passat. That said, establishing a works council in Tennessee will be a substantial challenge for the automaker. "With reports that Volkswagen is considering Chattanooga to build its new SUV, this is no idle threat," said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation.Source: Reuters Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email VW Plant Workers Say Automaker is Forcing UAW Membership /14 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 14 2 | 14 3 | 14 4 | 14 5 | 14 6 | 14 7 | 14 8 | 14 9 | 14 10 | 14 11 | 14 12 | 14 13 | 14 14 | 14

Complaint Review: Eagle Rider
Eagle Rider Ripoff RENT A HARLEY AND RECEIVE A $1000 BILL FOR COSMETIC SCRATCHES San Diego California
*Consumer Comment: Harley rental outfits - not worth the effort
The first rip off surrounded the way they treated a zipper from my jacket which flapped in the wind and caused some scratching on the rear fender of the bike. In my opinion the paint job on the motorcycle was of less than acceptable quality, and it was NOT the factory paint job. In other words, they painted the bike with poor quality paint which would naturally scratch easier and cause scrathing in situations that normally would not scratch.
The second incident which caused them to *attempt* to rip me off involved my dropping of the motorcycle AS A RESULT OF THEIR FAULTY KICKSTAND!!! When the kickstand is down on a motorcycle, and the motorcycle is left in gear, there should be a safety feature installed which does not allow the motorcycle to start. I have my own 1982 Yahama Virago which uses this feature. The purpose of it is so that in that situation the motorcycle will not budge forward if someone attempts to start it on the kickstand while it is left in gear.
Not knowing that Eagle Rider did not install or have this standard safety feature on this motorcycle, I dropped the motorcycle after leaving it in gear. The proper installation of this safety feature would have prevented that from happening. The motorcycle fell on both of my knees and caused intense bruising and cuts.
The rip off comes in when they tried to charge me 1000.00 for ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS that only had minor scratches, such as the crash bar (which is expected to get scratched if dropped), the rear taillight (he wanted to charge me for the casing, the lens, and the bulb - which were all totally functionable - we are only talking about MINOR HAIRLINE SCRATCHES HERE!!!).
In addition, the manager physically threatened me if I did not places my initials/signature next to the places he felt I damaged. The manager also threatened to charge me for "loss of use" and that that motorcycle might just have to sit in the shop for FOUR WEEKS until it can get repainted with their s**+tty paint so they can rip someone else off again. Here's the kicker - SOMEONE WAS STANDING IN LINE BEHIND ME TO RENT THE VERY SAME MOTORCYCLE AFTER ME AND HE WAS GOING TO RENT IT OUT TO THEM!!! What a crock of baloney.
Don't rent from Eagle Rider. Or if you do, and damage the bike (even with hairline scratches such as what I did), plan to lose your entire security deposit because that is how they make their money. Treat customers how they treated me a couple times a week, and you generate yourself 1/2 a million in revenue a year.

A short time ago I wanted to rent a Model 883 to try it out and see if it had anything to recommend it over comparable (and much less expensive and better-built) Japanese bikes. I went to the local Harley rental place and was informed that I could rent one for $150 a day and a $2000 deposit. I smelled ripoff and walked. From what you wrote in your report, I'm glad I did.
The auto rental companies don't ask you for a $2000 deposit on a vehicle that costs two to three times what a Harley does. The Harley rental people are cashing in on the the "mystique" associated with the machines and won't hesitate to rip you off. Do you really think a new 883 is worth over $7000? And that's MSRP; most dealers mark up that inflated price a grand or two. They figure you'll pay for the Harley name and, sadly, too many people are willing to do so and that just perpetuates the ripoff.
The old damage deposit thing is a favorite of the leasing companies who routinely screw their lessees out of megabucks for what is obviously normal wear and tear. The Harley rental people have managed to go it one better by making you pay the money up front and then making you prove you deserve to get it back, which of course you won't or at least not all of it (a twist on the rebate scam). They make the majority of their money this way, not from renting the bikes. This is a characteristic they share with car dealers whose biggest sales producers aren't the salesmen but the F&I clowns.
I'm sure you know the old joke about the only difference between a Hoover (vacuum cleaner) and a Harley is where the dirtbag's mounted. I would say that the real dirtbags are the ones who run the Harley rental companies.
I do have to ask one thing, however. Why would you start a bike that you're unfamiliar with without disengaging the clutch? That is something every rider learns early on.
However, I agree that you got ripped off big time and your story serves as a very good warning to anyone who is thinking about renting a Harley from one of these outfits.
