The Unfair Dismissals Acts require an Employer to have in place a disciplinary procedure and to communicate this to all Employees within 28 days of commencement of employment. Additionally, where a claim of unfair dismissal is made, the EAT or the Rights Commissioner will examine the procedure followed to evaluate the fairness in the process. Having a documented procedure in place will assist the Employer to ensure that situations are dealt with in the correct manner. Is there a minimum disciplinary procedure that Employers must follow? There is no statutory disciplinary procedure that employers must follow, but the Labour Relations Commission's Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures sets out the basic principles of a fair procedure. Employment tribunals will take the code into account when considering relevant cases. What are the principles of natural justice? The Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures lists the following as inclusive in the principles of natural justice as they apply to Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures: That Employee grievances are fairly examined and processed; That details of any allegations or complaints are put to the Employee concerned; That the Employee concerned is given the opportunity to respond fully to any such allegations or complaints; That the Employee concerned is given the opportunity to avail of the right to be represented during the procedure; That the Employee concerned has the right to a fair and impartial determination of the issues concerned, taking into account any representations made by, or on behalf of, the Employee and any other relevant or appropriate evidence, factors, circumstances. read more get more from For valuable insights and solutions to all your human resource needs For valuable insights and solutions to all your human resource needs Subscribe Here tweet about this Email a Friend The text of your link

Have you ever heard of the Aran Islands?
They are a set of three small islands off the west coast of Ireland, famous for their rich wool sweaters and being a heart of Irish cultural preservation.
When we lived in Ireland, we could see these islands from our living room window—when it wasn't raining, anyway. Folk used to say, "If you can't see Aran, it's raining. If you can see them, its gonna rain."
We had the privilege of visiting the three islands a few times during our time there and the place is truly enchanting.
One of my favorite tales about the islands is about how the early inhabitants made the ground suitable for growing spuds and other root vegetables.
They built the soil.
You see, what wasn't beach was solid rock. I don't know much about agriculture, but I do know it's fairly impossible to plant anything in solid rock. However, the stalwart Irish weren't to be outdone by an island and they set their plan to work.
The gathered large amounts of seaweed—of which they had an endless supply—and sand from the shore. They layered seaweed and sand, seaweed and sand, again and again and again.
Over time, the seaweed broke down, the sand was enriched with the nutrients and a fertile soil was formed. With the sustenance obtained from the sea, and the crops grown on these new fertile plots, the inhabitants of the Aran Islands found their livelihood.
It was truly ingenious. A true feat of human ingenuity, creativity, and strength to create good soil where there had been rock.
Sometimes I think we attempt to apply these same ideas to our spiritual lives as well.
We read in the Bible the parable about the types of soil. We read about the heart that is like the path, packed down and hardened. When God's word falls on these hearts it is snatched up by the predators of the world before it can even take root. Or the weeded patch. God's word quickly sprouts and spiritual growth seems promising, but then the weeds of worry, greed, and selfish living choke out the seed of the Truth. Or the rocky soil. When the seed God's Word falls on this soil, it also sprouts quickly, promising a good return, but without deep, rich soil for the new growth to take root, it is quickly scorched by the heat of strife and dies away.
Then. Ah, yes. The good soil. It takes root, grows deep and tall, and produces a crop up to a hundred times more than was sown.
I want to be the good soil, we think. I can't let myself become rocky or weeded.
And so we start to build. We drag layer upon layer of good deed. Go to church every week? Lay that down. Teach Sunday School or VBS? Sprinkle that on top. Spread out a generous helping of financial generosity. Yes, this surely will create the good soil.
We toil and strive and hustle and work to drag our own goodness and pile it up in an attempt to cover up the rock-hard state of our souls and somehow create fertile soil from our good intentions.
However, what we end up with is not a bumper crop of spiritual growth. Rather we end up feeling defeated, beat down, worn out.
You see, we can't take our stone-hard hearts and will them soft and pliable, ready to receive God's Word and grow.
It is not up to us—it has never been up to us—to create goodness within ourselves.
No, it is only by God's grace, through the work of His Holy Spirit.
All those good things we attempted to cobble together? Those should come from the overflow of what God is doing in and through us, rather than in our own strength as an attempt to make it all better.
Read the Bible everyday? Yes. Go to church? Yes. Serve others? Of course!
But those things should be the avenue through which God works and molds and softens and does what He does best—create. It is through seeking Him, pursuing Him, soaking in His presence that our hearts are changed.
Only the One who transformed water to wine can transform a heart of stone to good soil. Sometimes the best thing we can do is cease striving, say no to the 'holy hustle', and simply be still. Be still and listen to Him. Talk with Him. Open the darkest places of our hearts where we hide all the hurt and filth and muck we pray no one discovers, and let Him clean it out.
Friend, are you trying to build your own soil? Are you striving to be good enough? Are you weary from dragging around your own works hoping they will somehow produce the life-zeal you are desperately seeking?
Can I encourage you to just lay it all down? Lay it in the hands of the One who created everything from nothing and let His transforming love do it's mighty work in your heart.

- "You can do this Lara. After all...You're a Croft."
- ―Roth reassures Lara on her abilities.[src]
Conrad Roth is the Captain of the Endurance, as well as a freelance salvage and treasure hunter.
Roth is an ex-Royal Marine, having served two combat tours. His interests include rock climbing, hiking and wreck diving.
Roth was named Lara's legal guardian after her father's death, becoming her mentor and father figure.
Biography Edit
Early Life Edit
Roth was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1961. Little is known about his youth and childhood, though he seems to be from a working class upbringing. As a young man, Roth joined the Corps of Royal Marines (RM).
Roth left the military after serving two combat tours and put his specialized skills to use as wreck-diver and freelance treasure-hunter, alongside his trusted friend and ex-Merchant Marine, Grim. Roth purchased a used research vessel and named it the Endurance, after the ship of his hero - Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton.
Roth travelled the world, earning a reputation for toughness and competence. His willingness to bend inconvenient laws restricting traffic in historical artifacts, as well as his faithfulness to his employers made him highly sought-after among discerning collectors.
His reputation garnered the interest of famous archaeologist Richard Croft. For several years, Roth accompanied Croft on over a dozen treasure-hunting expeditions acting as a guide and, when necessary, bodyguard. It was through one of these jobs that Roth met Croft's daughter, Lara, with whom he would grow to have a mutual respect. So much so that Roth would often be the first person Lara would turn to, due to her father always being too busy to pay attention to her. Roth grew to love Lara as though she were his own daughter.
Roth attempted to teach Richard Croft how to shoot. Croft proved a bad shot, however, so the lessons were abandoned; Roth instead taught Lara, who took to it well. Roth helped Croft recover Amelia's body and bring it back to Croft Manor. Against his better judgment, he helped as Croft attempted to resurrect his deceased wife. He asked Croft not to go through with the ritual, fearing how Croft would act if it didn't work. Croft ignored his friend's pleas and unsuccessfully attempted to revive his wife. After laying Amelia to rest, Croft began to obsessively research immortality. He became paranoid about his research and had Roth hire a team of builders to construct a secret lab in order to carry out his research in secret.
After Croft's apparent suicide, Roth became Lara's legal guardian. He insisted on teaching her practical skills such as rock climbing, navigation and other survival skills, though they were a little unusual for a wealthy British heiress.
Roth met Joslin Reyes in a bar in New York, after waking up from her knocking him unconscious. He was drinking heavily to forget his woes. The two formed a casual romance, which resulted in Reyes becoming pregnant. Thinking that Roth wouldn't want to have anything to do with the child, Reyes left the crew and hid Alisha's paternity from him.
Roth was proud of the young woman Lara became, especially for her decision to not use her trust fund and inheritance to pay for her tuition at University, and instead pay her own way.
Expedition to Yamatai Edit
Roth grew tired and longed for a large payday, which he could use to retire. He saw the opportunity to do so in the form of James Whitman, who commissioned him for the third season of his show. Roth agreed, on the grounds that he choose his own crew to man the Endurance, to which Whitman agreed.
After Whitman's show was canceled, he and Roth attempted to find further funding. They sought Samantha Nishimura's uncle, who wanted a sixty percent cut. Knowing an offer of less would be rejected, Roth agreed.
Roth backed Lara on her theory of Yamatai being located within the Dragon's Triangle, within which ships were notorious for disappearing. Roth considered it was worth checking out—and knowing that their funding had a limit, he made the call that the ship should go in.
Inside the Dragon's Triangle, the ship was fatally struck by a massive storm. As the Endurance began to take on water, Roth sent out an S.O.S. He found Lara in a flooded corridor attempting to force the door. He saved her, though they were separated when the ship was ripped in half. He encouraged Lara to jump, which she did. He managed to catch her, though she slipped from his grasp, and much to his horror Lara fell into the sea.
Roth managed to get to shore alone. He made his way to high ground and sent regular transmissions to try and contact what was left of his crew, and direct them to regroup at his position. He was overjoyed when he heard Lara's voice on the radio. Despite her pleas, Roth couldn't leave his position. He encouraged her to make her way to him alone.
He later contacted Lara to try and find out where she was, and she informed him of the Solarii killing the crew. Roth showed sympathy to Lara when she informed him that she had to kill several of them. He encouraged her to hurry up and get to him.Shortly after he was set upon by a pack of wolves. He managed to fight them off, but not before one of the wolves mauled his leg, and another his foodpack, which also had his medical supplies inside and radio transmitter inside. Lara arrives, and he attempts to go and get the pack himself, however passes out from exhaustion and blood loss, Lara drags him to shelter and goes to get the pack herself, before returning to tend to his wounded leg.He reawakened some time later, and expressed pride in Lara for managing to get the pack, and seems impressed with her first aid skills. He tells her that, the best way to transmit their distress signal, would be to use the radio tower, be he reminds her that with his wounded leg, he was unable to climb himself. After offering a few encouraging words to her, Roth gives Lara his climbing axe.
While Lara is gone, he set's about making himself a crutch, and even manages to find an old rifle, and ammo. He moves to a less exposed position, which is lucky as the plane that picked up their distress signal, had been struck by a storm and crashed on top of where he was.
Lara returns to Roth once more, When she expresses her desire to save the pilot (whom she saw parachute out of the burning plane) Roth tries to stop her, saying that it is too dangerous and the pilot may not have survived. Lara, however, refuses, and goes after the pilot, leaving Roth behind.
Roth makes his way to the Japanese palace at the base of the mountain, to meet with the rest of the group. He spots Lara being attacked by two Solarii, and kills them with his rifle. Lara informs him of Grim's death, to which he expresses great sadness. He provides Lara with cover fire while she attempts to cross the bridge.
He is picked up by the newly dispatched rescue helicopter. They find Lara and Roth encourages her to jump, once again intent on catching her, which he once again does, though he manages to get her into the helicopter. Lara threatens the pilot to make him land, however it is too late, and the storm destroys the helicopter.
Death Edit
Roth was ejected from the helicopter and knocked out. After regain consciousness, he spots Lara unconcsious. He lifts himself free from a piece of debris, rushes to her and finds that she is not breathing. He performs CPR on her as quickly as possible as the wreckage of the chopper catches fire. After successfully resuscitating her and helping her to safety, a small party of Solarii Brotherhood, led by Mathias, attacks them.
Roth shoots two of the Solarii with his pistol as Mathias closes in to attack Lara with a hatchet. Roth's gun either jams, or runs out of ammo, right before Mathias hurls the axe at them.Reflexively, Roth spins around while holding Lara to shield her, and takes the full force of the blow in his back, dropping a horrified Lara. Roth draws his second pistol and kills the remaining Solarii, except for Mathias, who flees after Roth resumed shooting. Lara begins to weep as Roth collapses. He apologizes for leaving her, assuring her that she'll be okay without him, giving her his pistols to aid her fight for survival, before he finally passes. Lara cradles him and weeps over the loss of her mentor.
Post Mortem Edit
Reyes, Sam, Jonah and Alex make their way to the crash site. Reyes is horrified by the site of Roth's dead body, and snaps at Lara as Sam tries to comfort her. Jonah suggest they give Roth a warrior's funeral.
A funeral pyre is prepared and Roth's body is burned.
Lara and Jonah later reminisce about Roth during their trip to Peru.
Personality Edit
Roth has modeled his style of leadership on that of his hero, the explorer Ernest Shackleton. The wellfare and safety of his crew is paramount to Roth, and he prides himself on instinctively knowing who is going to make a good crew member. He is also a hands-on leader who knows how to boost the morale of his shipmates, have fun and remain both optimistic and realistic.
Roth comes off as rather callous at times, as he is shown to not seem to care about his crew dying, though this was because he didn't want his emotional attachment to cloud his judgement.
Roth considers himself married to the sea. He dreams of finding that one big score that will allow him to retire onto a large yacht and live out his days sailing wherever the winds will take him. If Lara is right about Yamatai and its significance, this will hopefully be his last job.
- In a grim display of irony, Roth's faith in Lara and her theories is ultimately what caused his death.
- Despite his gruff exterior Roth was a fan of poetry, such as the work of William Wordsworth.
- Roth was also a fan of comedy and is seen to have a liking for the work of Monty Python.
- Roth's hair was black—as seen in issue seven of the comic series—when he was roughly thirty-six. His hair was shown to be fully gray, a mere six years later, when he climbed Snowdon with Lara.
- Roth's weapons of choice are a pair of 1911 pistols—specifically the Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced. He passes them onto Lara after he dies. The pistols are symbolic of the older Tomb Raider games.
- He refers to them as "Old Friends"; However, the Remington 1911 R1, has only been on the market since 2010.
- Roth is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes. Incidentally, Downes voices multiple antagonists in the Uncharted Franchise, Namely Atoq Navarro in Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Talbot in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Hector Alcázar in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. He also served as the facial model for Tenzin, and provided the voice of Vincent Perez, who are allies in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted: Golden Abyss respectively.
- Roth is also very similar to Victor Sullivan from the Uncharted Franchise. Both are mentors and father figures to the protagonist (in Sullivan's case, Nathan Drake); both have a habit of smoking and both are "only interested in the climax" (a term Nathan Drake uses to describe Sully's attitude of only being interested the payment/treasure); both are former military—with Roth having served in the Royal Marines, and Sullivan serving in the United States Navy.
- Roth's death on Yamatai is considered fitting as it is also the final resting place of his ship.
- Roth is mentioned by Jonah in Cozumel in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

The challenge:
Leadership can be too removed from customers and delivery of new growth focused services and products, which creates a significant risk.
Specific risks include:
– customers may be disappointed and leave,
– new brands and programs launched may get a bad reputation due to bad processes and delivery,
– strong talent tied to new initiatives may leave as they see faulty programs being executed.
Corporate growth requires doing new things and breaking new ground. Some initiatives are more ambitious and some are less. There are new promises made. New products and solutions sold. New ways of engaging with customers. Processes in the back must be changed.
It's impossible to predict it all in advance and as such iteration is a key requirement.
When companies launch new initiatives these can be risky to the organization. The higher risk programs should have tighter governance and executive oversight.
Practical considerations:
1. With high-risk initiatives I recommend leadership to be more heavily involved. In the extreme case they may lead the first few execution of the initiatives, but more realistically one might suggest they sit in and participate in the key processes. With leadership observing and understanding the details it will be clear to them if outcomes are met, value delivered and customers are happy.
If leadership stays too high level they may never be exposed to the critical details and the initiative may fail earlier than the errors are discovered by the leadership team.
- Use data to accelerate feedback loops and take action
Companies must use data to help them understand the critical aspects of the initiative, typically:
a. Customer value delivered and created (Increase in revenue, cost reductions, customer experience improvements)
b. Customer satisfaction (NPS score, brand, and loyalty)
c. Value delivered to the company (Revenue and Pipeline, Brand, Customer relationship)
d. Resources required to deliver (cost to execute)
E. Personel satisfaction and motivation
A simple survey is often enough to get a good understanding of the impact to the KPI's.
With growth comes risk. Leadership should be aware of the levels of risk and monitor the initiatives accordingly.
Secondly companies must use data to inform and guide them.

Motherwell Football Club is this morning delighted to confirm the re-signing of striker Scott McDonald.
McDonald, 31, joined the club for a second spell back in February and played a huge part in the club retaining its SPFL Premiership status, netting five goals in ten SPFL Premiership league matches.
Despite several lucrative offers from various clubs around the globe, the 26-times capped Aussie International has chose to a return to North Lanarkshire and has penned a one-year deal with the option of a second.
McDonald joins Lionel Ainsworth and Louis Laing in committing from last term, with five other new faces arriving in the shape of Joe Chalmers, David Clarkson, Wes Fletcher, Louis Moult and Kieran Kennedy.
And McDonald, who was first a Steelman back in 2004 before subsequent spells with Celtic, Middlesbrough and Millwall, can't want to get his teeth into a full campaign in Claret and Amber once again wearing the number 77 jersey..
He told MFC TV: "I'm delighted it's all been sorted as there had been a bit of speculation. It's great to have joined and I can't wait until the start of the season.
" I have nothing but good memories from my time at Motherwell and the warmth from this football club and what it gives me, and vice-versa, was a big attraction for me coming back.
"It's a family orientated club and my family is ever growing, with a new arrival on the way, so a lot of that was taken into consideration. and where we would be happy as a family as well as where I would be happiest playing my football.
"I really enjoyed the end of last season and am hoping for some success here this season."
'Well boss Ian Baraclough added: "We've been talking to Scott for most of the summer and we're obviously delighted he will form part of our squad for at least one more year.
"He carries a threat, that was proven in the last few months of the season, but we also think he can help assist in the development of other strikers at the club too.
"Whilst Lee Erwin finished the 2014/15 season fantastically well, it would be remiss to not acknowledge the role Scott played there and that was very much in our mind when setting our strategy for this summer.
"He's also the type of player who will demand from himself and others around him and that's something I see as a huge benefit. The squad in general is really taking shape now albeit we're still in the market for both a goalkeeper and a centre midfielder, which we hope to tie up shortly."

After Mitsubishi, Suzuki found culprit in fuel efficiency test
The scandal of revealing false fuel efficiency data by Japanese multinational car Mitsubishi is not yet over, name of one more Japanese car manufacturing company Suzuki Motors also seems to get affected in the same type of scandal. According to recent reports Suzuki Motors has admitted that its team used inappropriate testing methods to calculate the fuel efficiency performance delivered by its mini vehicles. It would be interested to know that Suzuki's share in mini vehicle segments constitutes to one third of sales made by Japanese car manufacturers.

Reports reveal that Japanese car maker dominates mini-vehicles empowered with engine efficiency of 660cc and enjoys tax reduction as determined by Japanese Law. The concern regarding fuel economy figures came into lime light after Mitsubishi admitted for giving wrong details about fuel efficiency performance delivered by few of its mini vehicles.
The acceptance by Suzuki Motors come after an order passed by Japan's transport ministry asking all car makers to reveal the actual figures of fuel efficiency delivered by their vehicles. As reported earlier that with an objective to come out from the wrong presentation of fuel efficiency figures Mitsubishi has sold 34% of its shares to Nissan Motors. It is speculated that in coming days Mitsubishi could give more details about fuel efficiency figures delivered by its other vehicles.

The ongoing Qatar diplomatic crisis began when in early June when Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt abruptly cut off diplomatic relations, withdrew ambassadors, imposed trade and travel bans against Qatar, insisting that Doha should comply with a 13-point ultimatum (later reduced to six broad principles, but all points were reinstated). Shortly thereafter, several other countries have joined the quartet and cut or downgraded diplomatic ties with Qatar, including Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Jordan, Maldives, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and exiled Hadi-led Yemeni government. The offensive move surprised everyone, from politicians to committed followers of political events in the Middle East, but very few analysts emphasized a key motive for crisis, let alone its long-term implications.
Official demands given by the anti-Qatar quartet are: (1) curb diplomatic ties with Iran, close its diplomatic missions there, expel members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard from Qatar, cut off any joint military cooperation with Iran, along with commerce that doesn't comply with US and international sanctions, (2) sever all ties to "terrorist" organizations, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIL, Al Qaeda, and Hezbollah, and formally declare those entities as terrorist groups, (3) shut down Al Jazeera and its affiliate stations, (4) shut down Qatari funded news outlets, including Arabi21, Rassd, Al Araby Al Jadeed and Middle East Eye, (5) terminate the Turkish military presence in Qatar and their joint military cooperation, (6) stop all means of funding for individuals, groups or organizations that have been designated as terrorists by the quartet and the USA, (7) hand over "terrorist" figures and wanted individuals from the quartet, freeze their assets and provide any desired information about their residency, movements and finances, (8) end interference in sovereign countries' internal affairs, stop granting citizenship to wanted nationals from the quartet, revoke Qatari citizenship for existing nationals where such citizenship violates those countries' laws, (9) stop all contacts with the political opposition in four countries, hand over all files detailing Qatar's prior contacts with and support for those opposition groups, (10) pay reparations and compensation for loss of life and other financial losses caused by Qatar's policies in recent years, (11) align itself with the other Gulf and Arab countries militarily, politically, socially and economically, in line with a Saudi agreement from 2014, (12) agree to all the demands within 10 days, and (13) consent to ten years' monitoring.
Four weeks later, diplomats from the four nations said they were no longer insisting Qatar comply with the demands and instead wanted it to commit to six broad principles: (1) commitment to combat extremism and terrorism in all its forms and to prevent their financing or the provision of safe havens, (2) prohibiting all acts of incitement and all forms of expression which spread, incite, promote or justify hatred and violence, (3) full commitment to Riyadh Agreement and the supplementary agreement, with its executive mechanism for 2014 within the framework of the Gulf Cooperation Council for Arab States, (4) commitment to all the outcomes of the Arab-American summit held in Riyadh in May 2017, (5) to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of States and from supporting illegal entities, and (6) the responsibility of all states of international community to confront all forms of extremism and terrorism as a threat to international peace and security.
Various analysts have offered explanations of the main motive, emphasizing family rivalries, a dispute over natural gas, Qatar's rapprochement with Iran or terrorist funding, but none of them seem very convincing as a key reason. Indeed, there's a long-running rivalry between Thani and Saud families, but no matter how personal, it is highly unlikely that private matters would provoke such large-scale crisis which caused a multi-billion economic losses and endangered international alliances. Some analysts pointed out a Qatar's refusal to sell natural gas to neighbors at a discount price, calling on a relatively old (and lifted) moratorium on the further development of the North Dome gas field. Still, Saudi Arabia does not import natural gas and has been able to achieve important energy security of supply due to the fact that they only rely on themselves to meet their natural gas consumption. The UAE is a significant consumer and 25% of demand is imported from Qatar, but they do not take the lead in the quartet.
There's no doubt about Saudi Arabia being a leading player in the quartet: the UAE is far weaker, Bahrain is de facto Saudi-occupied, Egypt is a poor country, as well as above mentioned African governments who are only looking for a financial benefit. This Saudi game is much similar to the established strategy of the United States because it relies upon gathering allies and client states to project their own interests under pretense of the "international community". Alleged Qatar's developing stronger ties with Iran, accentuated in the first point of the ultimatum, can be easily dismissed as irrelevant from energy, economic and military perspective. Two countries do share World's largest natural gas field in the Persian Gulf, but Qatari production relies on foreign Western companies and there's no any mutual development. If the quartet is really concerned about growing trade ties with Iran, then the United Arab Emirates would be at the top on the hit list, because the UAE is Iran's largest import partner as well as Iran is their largest export partner. This trade is mostly based on reexports and its characterized by economic mutual dependence despite serious political differences, similar to Iran-Turkey relations.
Demands that members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard must be expelled from Qatar actually implies that Doha is somehow becoming a military ally of Iran, which is absurd considering that Qatar is hosting Al Udeid Air Base, the largest American base in the Middle East. If Qatar truly hosts Iranian military and intelligence personnel, it would be expected from the USA to react first, but that's not the case. Requests to stop Qatar's joint military cooperation with Iran and Turkey are merely symbolic, as both countries are non-Arab and the quartet is trying to play the "Arab patriotism" card. However, confronting attitudes toward Iran, Turkey and Qatar reveals that Saudi Arabia is actually far from either Islamic, Sunni or Arab unity, all recalled repeatedly by their officials for many years. Furthermore, Saudi demands seriously undermined even American strategy for making stable GCC block capable of challenging Iranian influence in the Persian Gulf.
The main motive for crisis is obviously worth even of distorting relations with the United States, the biggest political, economic and military ally of Saudi Arabia. The answer to the tricky puzzle actually lies in Qatar's supporting, hosting, funding and promoting alleged terrorist and extremist individuals, groups and organizations, the most elaborated demand in both the 13-point ultimatum (2-4 & 6-9) and six principles (1-2 & 4-6). We're not speaking about ISIL and Al Qaeda who received more funds from Saudi individuals then Qatari, or Hezbollah who is their major foe in Lebanon in Syria, we are speaking about the Muslim Brotherhood (MB).
Back in 2011 and 2012, following the Egyptian revolution that ousted President Hosni Mubarak, the parliamentary election had been held and resulted with victory for the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates led by Mohamed Morsi. The second strongest political option was Salafist block, heirs of ultra-conservative ideology much closer to Saudi Wahhabism then Neo-Salafist modernists like the MB. In the long run, there is no chance that Salafists can overwhelm the MB, well-established movement with affluent tradition and a large popular support. Major powers in the Middle East are perfectly aware of this, and despite Morsi's hostile stance toward Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Iran welcomed his victory and tried to develop closer ties. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia was irritated, financed another coup and embraced new leader el-Sisi. This move itself surprised many observers who believed Saudis will celebrate conservative changes at the expense of previous secular leadership, unaware that the MB actually represents a hateful competition to their own proteges. Saudis are therefore dedicated to destroy the MB by all means, both at home and abroad. In Egypt, their party is banned and hundreds of leading members have been executed. And regarding overseas, this bring us back to Qatar who continued to back the MB and serve as their main refuge.
For many decades, Saudi Arabia has promoted its ideology and funded various extremists, and later used them as a tool for rebellion in countries where they have desired regime change. Using tested experience from the Afghan-Soviet war, their radicals proven to be very dangerous in Syria and elsewhere, but today they're largely vanished. Conducted recruitment from Arab lower class and poor areas such as Afghanistan, Sahel, Balkans and Caucasus doesn't seem to be a flourishing source, but Egypt looks like a perfect alternative: geographically close, Arabic-speaking, populous, poor and economically dependent. Even today, Egypt much relies on Saudi financial support, however, Saudis are having a deeper long-term plan. They see el-Sisi as a useful fool and they'll continue to back him as long as he is erasing the MB. For this reason, they're trying to accelerate its extinction even aboard (i.e. Qatar). After this job is done, Saudi support for el-Sisi will suddenly stop and all popular support for him and his liberal party will rapidly decay. Elections will pave the secure way for stable and well-funded Salafists, their victory will meet "democratic" standards in the World's eyes, and then comes a nightmare. Consequences of institutionalized Saudi ideology in a country with nearly 100 million people are beyond imagination. Still, it's far from being a serious concern for the USA, in fact, Trump has ironically praised Saudi anti-Qatar moves as "measure against funding terrorism". Neither Russia seems to be interested about this dangerous development, Moscow sees the MB through a prism of a Syrian case and designates whole organization as "terrorist". In meanwhile, mass media is much more preoccupied with dirty secrets in Arab royal courts, and even independent analysts are discussing about amount of imported beef and vegetables, or still struggling with LNG and GTL differences, rather then focusing on the real issue.

"This doesn't apply to any free coupons you happen to get along with products or in the mail, but once you pay for a newspaper, you've lost money. You then have to make up for that loss by using enough coupons to break even. Then, you have to use even more coupons to come out
When you can get the paper for $0.39 per week, coming out ahead only takes using one coupon per week. Or two coupons every other week. Or three coupons every third week. And, well, you get the idea. Not to mention the fact that most of us use WAY more than that.
Reason #2: Clipping Coupons Takes Time.
Their Reasoning:
"Yes, you can do it while you watch TV and turn "unproductive" time into "productive" time. But there are a lot of things you can do while you watch TV - mop the floor, prepare a week's worth of meals or actually let yourself relax and not do anything for once. Your time might be better spent on another activity."
Three words: Clipless Organizing Method. I only clip the coupons I'm actually going to use each week. It takes me about 30 minutes, tops each week.
Reason #3: Getting a newspaper invites lots of additional advertising into your home.
Their Reasoning:
"Advertising is powerful stuff - this is part of the reason why companies offer coupons in the first place. You might actually end up buying more stuff by having all those ads around, negating any savings you get from coupons. The same is true if a coupon compels you to venture into a store you wouldn't otherwise visit."
Is it just me, or are these getting worse? If you're that gullible to every piece of advertising that enters your home...you've got other problems. Learn to love your recycle bin -- it's easy and effective. :)
Reason #4: Many of the coupons will be for things you neither need nor want.
Their Reasoning:
"Unfortunately, coupon circulars aren't customized to your shopping habits. If you are a die-hard bargain hunter, if may be hard for you to turn down a good deal, even if it means buying something you weren't planning on getting anyway. However, from a financial perspective, buying more than you need or want just doesn't make sense."
Being able to turn down a good deal on something you don't need is the one aspect of couponing that DOES take some practice. However, from a food-storage perspective, sometimes buying more than you need (to save for the future) is called smart.
Reason #5: Coupons can tempt you to spend your grocery dollars on things you shouldn't.
Their Reasoning:
"Coupons don't always market the healthiest foods. This might mean that they'll lead you to buy things that aren't very good for you. Anyone can see that clipping coupons that tempt you to purchase sugary cereals and fatty or salty snacks isn't the greatest thing for your health. If your idea of a healthy snack is more "I'll have an apple" and less "I'll just have one serving of potato chips," you're unlikely to find much in the coupon circulars at all that will interest you. Plus, if you have a monthly grocery budget that you stick to no matter what, coupons will only get you more food or different food - they won't truly save you any money."
Finally! This may be their only valid concern. If plan your weekly grocery shopping based off of the Smartsource coupon insert each week, you'll end up broke and 100 pounds heavier. That's where the Grocery Smarts lists come in! You can shop and eat the same way you always have, just at 50% - 60% less than before. It takes a little bit of self control to not buy every new fandangled product just because you have a coupon for it (see #4). But once you get settled into a routine, you're golden.
Reason #6: The same coupons tend to be offered over and over again.
Their Reasoning:
"After a few months of coupon clipping, you'll realize that you're repeatedly clipping the same coupons. This might work for you if you use the same products repeatedly, but it's not so great if you prefer variety and experimentation. You often won't use all the coupons you clip by their expiration date, so you'll have to toss that yogurt coupon that expired on June 30 only to clip another identical one that doesn't expire until July 31. This is time consuming - not to mention aggravating. The redundancy of coupons is especially annoying if the coupons are for items you don't even want to buy."
I don't know about you, but I quite enjoy the fact that there is always a valid Huggies coupon when I need it.
Reason #7: You might become a slave to coupons.
Their Reasoning:
"It can be very difficult to buy something without a coupon once you get used to using coupons. Knowing that you can get ice cream for $2.50 might make it difficult for you to spend $4 on it even though many times, it would be worth it to spend the extra $1.50 rather than pine for ice cream and cast longing glances at your freezer every night for three weeks until your next coupon arrives. You might also find yourself making more trips to the grocery store in order to purchase things only when you have coupons for them."
This is why we stockpile! (If you haven't come to a coupon class yet, you should.) When items I need and use go on sale, I buy enough to tide my family over until the next sale. There is always the proverbial ice cream in the freezer at my house! No pining necessary.
Reason #8: Shopping takes longer.Their Reasoning:
"If you have to hunt up and down the aisles in search of the item you have a coupon for, you'll spend more time at the store. This could also lead you to spend more money, potentially
negating the savings you're working so hard to accrue."
In my experience, I save $50-$100 each week and it takes me 30 minutes of planning and 30 minutes of shopping. (And that's with an infant strapped to my chest in the Bjorn!) So you tell me. Is it worth it?

Low-power server startup pitches Intel Atom for Hadoop
Low-power server startup SeaMicro says its new 512-core Intel Atom box suits distributed database workloads.
SeaMicro's new low-power server caters to a fast-growing class of data center workloads: Massively parallel distributed database systems like Hadoop and Cassandra.
The SeaMicro SM10000-64, unveiled this week, builds on 256 dual-core Intel Atom chips. These processors were originally designed for consumer devices like netbooks and smartphones, but today's data center power demands have prompted some startups to look at low-power chips like Atom and even ARM to handle certain light, Internet-oriented workloads like Web serving.
"We weren't originally designed for the database tier, but new technologies are emerging to parallelize database and search," said Andrew Feldman, SeaMicro CEO. Those technologies are "reducing the dependency on expensive database software and moving it out onto low-cost scale-out infrastructure."
Once the purview of the biggest Internet companies, the Apache Software Foundation's Hadoop and its ilk are also finding their way to the enterprise, said Jonathan Eunice, principal IT advisor at Illuminata in Nashua, N.H.
Such databases are not typically used in classic enterprise computing, but are "meaningfully used in network-scale data analysis," Eunice said, citing financial risk management and price optimization as sample applications.
Based on Google MapReduce, Hadoop offers parallel programmers a "joyously simple" framework around which to program otherwise complex data processing algorithms, Eunice said.
Hot for Hadoop
SeaMicro's new SM10000-64 follows the original SM10000 introduced in June, using 256 Intel 1.66 GHz dual-core Intel Atom N570 processors, instead of 512 1.66 GHz single-core Atom Z530. At the same time, it maintains the original's 10U footprint and 2.5 kW power envelope.
But what makes the SeaMicro box a fit for distributed database applications isn't just the sheer number of processors or its low power consumption, but its total system bandwidth, said Pete Sclafani, CIO and co-founder of 6connect, a data center consultancy in Oakland, Calif.
In highly distributed applications like Hadoop, problems are chunked up between dozens or hundreds of nodes, lessening the need for a single high-powered CPU. At the same time, that model generates a lot of inter-node communication, requiring a big investment in network and cabling infrastructure, he said.
In a traditional cluster made up of 1U two-way servers, that traffic travels over one or maybe two 10 Gb links. In contrast, the 512 cores in the SM10000-64 share an aggregate 1.28 Tb of system bandwidth, which SeaMicro's Feldman said is about five times as much bandwidth per core, while at the same time eliminating the need for external switches and cables.
Blades, with their shared backplanes, popularized this model, Sclafani said, and familiarized data center architects with intergrated hardware stacks like SeaMicro's.
The 32-bit bust
Meanwhile, the new SM10000-64 doesn't improve on its bandwidth story, but its new Atom chip could make it an easier sell.
The Atom Z530 that powered the original SeaMicro box was 32-bit; now, the processor powering the system is 64-bit, supporting more modern operating systems and up to 4 GB of RAM per processor.
Support for 64-bit makes the SM10000-64 a better fit for the average data center, said SeaMicro's Feldman. "Ninety-five percent of the x86 world runs a 64-bit OS," he said, and many customers had a hard time with the old 2 GB memory limitation that confined it to light "Internet-facing" workloads, he said.
Indeed, the system's original 32-bit architecture presented somewhat of a stumbling block for prospective customers, said 6connect's Sclafani.
"The 32-bit compatibility was a tough one," Sclafani said. "For the past two or three years, we've been telling people to future-proof their environments and move away from 32-bit." With 64-bit compatibility, the SeaMicro box "becomes more of go-to item that we can talk about; before, it was just something to keep a close eye on."
SeaMicro customers include Skype, Mozilla, Rogers Communications, Oakridge National Laboratories, France Telecom and China Netcom Broadband, but the company declined to specify how many customers it has in total.

But while everyone I know was busy getting their hands on opening night Solo: A Star Wars Story tickets or enjoying the Star Wars fun at Disneyland, Ron Howard continued his high profile press tour on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:
The interview was preceded by an extended clip of the "190 years old" scene, which may be found here (for the time being), but the interview itself was excellent.
The director spoke about first hearing about Star Wars from George Lucas (Howard remembers thinking, "That's moronically stupid…"), getting creative notes from Lucas on the set of Solo (Ron said he exclaimed, "Hey, guess what, here's what we're going to do in the next take…"), and Colbert surprised Mr. Howard with a new "trailer" for Solo.
Here's a screenshot:
"Those Star Wars Days" starts at around 7:00 of the clip. Howard continues his press tour this morning on Good Morning America. Sources say Mr. Howard may be in the 8:00 AM hour:

Star Wars in the Round
Another pleasant surprise was last night's release of Solo: A Star Wars Story 360:
The official Star Wars YouTube account sets the scene:
In the Star Wars universe, you may have heard about the infamous moment where Han Solo and Lando Calrissian first meet and ultimately face-off for the legendary Millennium Falcon. With Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the help of ILM, this iconic moment was captured in full 360º, putting you the viewer at the center of it all. Watch it all unfold with Han, Lando, and some new and old friends. This experience is a truly never-before-seen event. Solo: A Star Wars Story 360 was created in association with ILMxLAB.
The piece worked just fine without gear on my iPhone and Mac, so give it a try. VERY COOL.

Apple iPhone Prices
Apple is the second largest smartphone company in the world, which offers secured iPhones with premium features and high prices. People love Apple iPhones due to their unique design, software and hardware technology. The American prefers the best quality features instead of cheap ones, while its true competitor Samsung targets both high to low class features.
Apple iPhone Prices have always been on top even than the Samsung Mobile Prices; the fact is that Apple iPhones are secured and best-in-class. The brand depends on its own reliable technology such as iOS (instead Android), iTunes, Apple store, Apple chip and hardware rather than Snapdragon or Mediatek etc.
Apple iPhone Prices are also made changes in its own over the region or country because of the following two reasons, Apple services and labor in a country. Apple invested in economically rich countries to sell its exclusive iPhones, therefore, some of the developing countries where Apple haven't service to import Apple iPhones, as a result taxes are applied for the shipment over the country and Apple iPhone Prices get increased. This is the same case between Apple iPhone Prices in UAE (where Apple invested) and Apple iPhone Prices in Bangladesh or Pakistan (where Apple have not invested). The next reason is labor of some state which causes rise or fall in Apple iPhone Prices in that country. For illustration, Apple bears expensive labor in US to develop an iPhone while in China the labor is cheap, accordingly Apple iPhone Prices in US are higher than Apple iPhone Prices in China.
Below we've mentioned the latest Apple iPhones with their prices and key specs.
Apple iPhone 8: It is the 4.7-inch smartphone, having the traditional design of Apple iPhone 7. It is considered as the brightest display smartphones, thanks to the LED backlit LCD Display with wide colors gamut, true tone, 3D touch support, 16:9 aspects ratio and 750 x 1334 pixels resolution. There is iOS 11 which is enormously fit for optimizing apps performance. Apple iPhone 8 sports 12MP back camera to create high quality images and 4k videos at 30 and 60 fps. There is a 7MP front camera that is much better than those of others' selfie-centric smartphones. It houses 2GB RAM, 64GB ROM, Apple A11 bionic chip, Hexa-core processor and Apple GPU for excellent gaming and multitasking performance. Apple iPhone 8 Price is $700.
Apple iPhone X: It is the most expensive iPhone yet, available with the 5.8 inches big OLED display that an iPhone had never before. The iPhone X is the first device to introduce top-notch screen with full 19.5:9 aspects ratio. It entirely changed the Apple iPhones' custom design. Moreover, the Apple's 10th anniversary iPhone (iPhone X) introduced some more new features such as 3D facial recognition system for Face ID and animated emoji called ANIMOJI. The device comes with 1125 x 2436 pixels resolution, iOS 11, Apple A11 bionic chip, 3GB RAM, 64GB ROM, Dual 12MP + 12MP Rear Optics, 7MP Selfie Shooter, 2716mAh battery, Fast and Wireless Charging support. Unfortunately, it has vanished formal Touch ID (fingerprint sensor) and 3.5mm audio jack. The Price of Apple iPhone X is $999.

If there's one thing that can get me out of a blogging rut, it is awards show fashion. Last night, Jennifer Lopez hosted the 2015 American Music Awards. During the show, she had several wardrobe changes. Let's discuss.
She started off the evening in this Nicolas Jebran gown.
It's not my favorite, but it is very JLo.
She wore this DSquared2 jumpsuit during her opening performance.
The crazy print worked really well onstage.
I mostly like this gold Julien Macdonald number.
I don't love middle slits though.
I'm not a fan of this navy Zuhair Murad gown.
It's pretty up top, but the sheer bottom I could do without.
What can I say about this sheer Charbel Zoe?
I think this one speaks for itself. #ALMOSTNAKEY
In between outfit changes, JLo sported a Versace robe.
This robe probably costs more than my entire wardrobe.
I think this Zuhair Murad jumpsuit works because of the event she's hosting.
It's sparkly and fun.
This marigold Michael Costello gown is definitely unique.
I think the best part of this look is her hair and makeup.
I'm surprised I don't hate this Balmain dress.
She looks great head-to-toe in this monochromatic look.
This red Zuhair Murad gown is my favorite.
She slays in red.

A 5.1 surround system has five discrete audio channels: Left, Right, Center, Left Surround, Right Surround and the Subwoofer.
Front Left & Right Speakers (L & R): Place the Front Left and Right speakers at ear height, producing a 45° angle as viewed from the main seating position. This delivers a wide soundstage and precise localization of individual sounds.
Center Channel Speaker (C): Place the Center channel speaker either above or below the TV. Then, aim the speaker either up or down to point directly at the listener. If you have a perforated projection screen, center this speaker both horizontally and vertically behind the screen.
Left Surround and Right Surround Speakers (Ls & Rs): Place the Ls & Rs speakers between 90° to 110° to each side and 2 feet or higher above the listener. The Ls & Rs speakers recreate the enveloping sound and intense special effects that you experience in the cinema.
Subwoofer (Sub): If you have two Subs, put them in the middle of opposing walls. If you have one, place it in the middle of the front wall.

In this research, we studied the preparation of nanochitosan from the addition of potassium persulfate as an initiator for monomer polymerization and monocarboxylic acid—namely acetic acid, lactic acid, and formic acid—to a chitosan solution. To obtain the dried form of chitosan nanoparticles, we investigated the effects of oven and spray drying systems toward the physicochemical properties and morphology of chitosan nanoparticles. Successfully prepared chitosan nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (FESEM-EDX), and a particle size analyzer (PSA). The structures of nanochitosan prepared in different acids were quite similar based on the FTIR spectra. By increasing the concentrations of potassium persulfate, the yields of chitosan nanoparticles also increased. The concentration of potassium persulfate had a significant influence on the production of chitosan nanoparticles. The lowest concentration of potassium persulfate (0.6 mmol) did not produce an observable formation of chitosan nanoparticles. By using formic acid and potassium persulfate in various concentrations from 1.2–3.0 mmol, chitosan nanoparticles were obtained. A particle size distribution of chitosan nanoparticles was produced from a formic acid solution having a smaller size compared to others. The acidity effect of monocarboxylic acids in the formation of chitosan nanoparticles was better compared to the addition of other acids. Furthermore, synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (50–110 nm) produced from formic acid solutions have potential applications for drug carrier purposes.

Gov. Bill Ritter says travel records showing that Pinnacol Assurance executives, including three board members, plus some employees and spouses spent $318,717 to golf, dine and drink at a luxury resort last year on the firm's dime demonstrate "extremely poor judgment," adding that taxpayers "deserve better."
The group's five-day wine-and-golf trip to the Lodge at Pebble Beach, outside San Francisco, took place in May.
"The trip to California and its exorbitant price tag demonstrate extremely poor judgment on the part of Pinnacol's leaders at a time when their customers — small businesses and workers alike — are suffering through the worst economy in generations," Ritter said Thursday in a statement to 9Wants to Know, which had reviewed the records released earlier in the day. "As (Pinnacol is) a quasi-governmental agency with an obligation to respect and honor Colorado taxpayers, we deserve better. At the very least, we deserve more responsible leadership."
Colorado employers are mandated to pay into the state's workers' compensation fund, which is managed by Pinnacol. Pinnacol's board is appointed by the governor.
Meanwhile, two lawmakers say they want the head of Pinnacol to resign based on these expenditures.

This article first appreared in the May/June 1994 issue of Kerry Klips.
Compared to What?
Has anyone not heard about Stanley Coren's controversial new book, The Intelligence of Dogs? In it, Coren ranks 133 breeds of dog according
to their ability to learn owner-pleasing behavior, based on the opinions of obedience judges. According to an article we saw, Kerries were ranked
35th out of the 79 ranks (many breeds tied for ranks). Not a bad showing, overall. Number one was (no big surprise) Border Collies, while last
place, making them the ultimate "dumb blondes," went to Afghan Hounds. An English Bulldog owner in Colorado Springs, noting that his breed is 77th,
said that if his dog can get an obedience title, anybody can! And a Pekingese fancier in Indiana, who noted the 73rd placement for her breed, claimed
that a Pekingese is simply too intelligent to train!

New release: 0.2.20110922
Release time!
It might still have bugs, but not very serious ones. Will fix bugs during the next couple of hours if some are found. This hasn't gone through any proper testing other than it having stayed mostly unchanged for a while in the source repository.
Also, I seriously need to try to release more often. It seems there never is a good point of time to release and it gets just delayed more and more… 8-)
- Map is saved in an SQLite database file (by Queatz)
- Ladders (MarkTraceur)
- Lava
- Apple trees (sfan5)
- Slightly better looking inventory with transparency
- /me chat command (Oblomov)
- Using chosen map seed possible through fixed_map_seed configuration option (kahrl)
- Fix the long-existed PeerNotFound loop bug
- Some translations and localization-related fixes
- Lots of small fixes
Oh, and yeah, half of the stuff has been made by contributors. Don't underestimate the huge burden of managing all this and fixing difficult bugs that I am doing though…
Windows package: minetest-0.2.20110922_1.1-win32.zip
Ubuntu/Mint and Archlinux stable package has been updated.
Mac OS X package not yet available – but it seems there is some package that is more recent than the last release – I wonder what that is…
It'll take some time for the other Linux packagers to catch up.
NOTE: Updated from 0.2.20110922_0 to 0.2.20110922_1. This updates the client to tell the server it is newer than 0.2.20110731_3. If you connect with 0.2.20110922_0 to a 0.2.20110922_1 server, it will disconnect you telling you are using too old version.
